Attorneys general in several additional states — Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Missouri — appeared to throw their support behind a lawsuit filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton this week alleging that four battleground states exploited the coronavirus pandemic to make unconstitutional changes to mail-in voting rules.
Improper Medicaid Payments Have Soared Since Obamacare | National Review
Improper Medicaid Payments Have Soared Since Obamacare | National Review
We make jokes about long lines at the DMV and the Bridge to Nowhere as if slow-moving bureaucracy and fiscal profligacy are features of the system.
"Americans are conditioned to expect inefficiency and waste in government programs.
But a recent report from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) puts government mismanagement on a different plane and should alarm all Americans.
The report reveals astronomical improper spending in Medicaid, our nation’s third-largest government program.
The true Medicaid improper-payment rate now exceeds 25 percent, meaning that more than one in every four dollars spent in the Medicaid program — or more than $100 billion in federal spending each year — is in violation of program rules.
...The media, to date, have virtually ignored the issue; but taxpayers are being fleeced, and we can’t fix the problem until people know and understand what’s happening...Read all.

Blue city pride-----Antifa Stockpiles Weapons at Portland Autonomous Zone
Antifa Stockpiles Weapons at Portland Autonomous Zone
"The antifa occupiers at the autonomous zone that sprung up in Portland this week appear to be preparing for a siege.
As PJ Media’s Victoria Taft reported, antifa squatters took over a house in Portland and when the government rightly evicted them, they set up an autonomous zone.
On Wednesday, Portland’s police chief reported that antifa has fortified barricades, stockpiled weapons, set up armed guards, and threatened to kill police officers.

On Wednesday, Portland’s police chief reported that antifa has fortified barricades, stockpiled weapons, set up armed guards, and threatened to kill police officers.
Both the police chief and the mayor have urged the rebels to lay down their arms, but it appears they are refusing to do so.

David Brooks weighs in on rural Americans who ‘have no contact with the expert class’ living in ‘thriving’ blue cities
"Here’s another thing we’ll miss about President Trump — his willingness to call out the Democratic leaders running blue cities that were plagued with crime and generally in flames due to nightly rioting, which of course ticked off people like Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler.
Last week on @MSNBC, @nytdavidbrooks said there’s demand for conspiracy theories on the right because “blue cities are thriving” and “people left behind in the rural parts of America feel threatened”.
...posted by Rashad Robinson, president of Color of Change, which is interesting; he, too, seems to be wondering about all of these thriving blue cities that New York Times op-ed columnist David “Perfectly Creased Pant” Brooks keeps referring to...Read all.
What?
Mr. Brooks: Who exactly is thriving in “blue cities”?

Lawmaker requests special counsel investigation into Hunter Biden, 'potentially incriminating contents' of laptop - TheBlaze:
Could Hunter Biden be the subject of the next special counsel investigation? That's what Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) wants.
POLL: Will you be spending the holiday with friends/family or socially isolating due to COVID?
Buck sent a letter to Attorney General William Barr on Monday requesting that the Department of Justice initiate a special counsel investigation into the son of the media-declared president-elect, centering on Hunter Biden's "conduct" and the "potentially incriminating contents" on the laptop in the FBI's possession that purportedly belongs to Biden.
The Democrats Are in Bed with China, Literally
The Democrats Are in Bed with China, Literally
But this singularly unaccomplished punch-line, this aspiring Beto without the hype or substance (Swalwell’s status as a furry is unknown, but I have my suspicions), is all too representative of his garbage party.
"...The worst case is that he eagerly betrayed his country for a roll in the rice with this Beijing bimbo.
Either way, he’s a disgrace.
The fact is that Red China is delighted by the opportunity to get back to business as usual with a Democrat administration – and in the case of a potential President Biden*, that’s literally business as usual.
The garbage media didn’t think his crack-huffing, loser spawn being owned by Chinese intel –you think they don’t have tape of him living out his X-rated video of David Bowie’s 80s hit?– was significant enough to tell us about.
But then, like the rest of the establishment, the media’s corporate owners are all wrapped up with the Chi-Coms...Read all.

EU Globalists Plot To Hasten Green Agenda, Climate Issues With Biden | Climate Dispatch
"...Eurocrats met in Brussels on Monday to discuss strategies for working with a possible Biden presidency, on issues such as ‘Build Back Better’ green agenda issues and the Chinese coronavirus pandemic.
“With Joe Biden´s election as the new American president, there are a lot of major opportunities that we as Europe want to take,” said German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas.
...There are also hopes in the EU that a Biden presidency would see the United States rejoin the Paris Climate accords, fulfilling a campaign promise of the 77-year-old Democrat.
...The continental power bloc claimed that while the Chinese coronavirus continues to pose “significant challenges” the issues of “climate change and biodiversity loss remain the defining challenges of our time”.
“They require systemic change across our economies and global cooperation across the Atlantic and the world,” the Commission said...Read all.
Lawless!-----Lawsuit challenges university’s authority to track students through data collection
Lawsuit challenges university’s authority to track students through data collection
ANALYSIS: Lawsuit filed over swipe-card data collection could pave way for precedent on students’ Fourth Amendment rights
...Indiana University Bloomington....In 2018, campus officials illegally accessed the swipe-card data of several students without a warrant as part of a university-wide investigation into the hazing practices of certain fraternities, according to a lawsuit filed against the school.
The four students currently suing Indiana University Bloomington over the privacy invasion were never involved in any wrongdoing, did not give their consent to have their data accessed, and were unaware that campus officials even had the ability to access the swipe-card data.
...Are educational institutions subject to special carve outs from respecting students’ Constitutional rights?
It will be interesting to see what the courts say...Read all.
