Dems Fight To Protect A $600 Billion Medicaid Tax Scam That Joe Biden Tried To Kill
And one big, fat, juicy target for savings is a Medicaid funding scam that lets states steal tens of billions of dollars from the federal government every year. - I & I Editorial Board
Here’s how this particular scam works.
States tax health care providers and use those funds to help cover their Medicaid costs.
States tax health care providers and use those funds to help cover their Medicaid costs.
Then, the states turn around and increase what they pay these same providers for Medicaid benefits – effectively covering the cost of the tax.
Then, because of the way Medicaid is financed, the states can bill the federal government for half of the spending increase.
Let’s say, for example, a state imposes a provider tax on hospitals that raises $100 million. And then it returns that $100 million to the hospitals in the form of higher Medicaid reimbursement rates. There’s been no increase in benefits. Providers aren’t better off. But the state gets an extra $50 million from the federal government’s matching fund, money that it can use for anything it wants. (The fed pays states up to 90% to cover the cost of expanding Medicaid under Obamacare.)An Oregon state representative once called it a “dream tax.”
- States can use Medicaid to steal money from the federal treasury...
- The Congressional Budget Office figures that the 10-year cost of this tax scam is more than $600 billion, which is almost exactly what Republicans are eyeing in savings from Medicaid.
- Provider taxes are now the second largest source of funds for Medicaid.

Ivy League school in hot water after Trump admin funding cuts over antisemitism concerns | Fox News:
Columbia University appears to be ready and willing to work with President Donald Trump and his administration. The university’s interim president. Katrina Armstrong, issued a letter on Friday in response to the Trump administration cutting $400 million in federal grants to the school. Federal agencies that severed their ties with Columbia said it was because of the Ivy League institution’s "continued inaction in the face of persistent harassment of Jewish students."

How Trump admin plans to use self-deportations to expel illegal immigrants | Blaze Media
How Trump admin plans to use self-deportations to expel illegal immigrants | Blaze Media:
'There are a couple of other things that we're working on.'
While visiting the southern border in Eagle Pass, Texas, Vice President JD Vance gave a hint on how the Trump administration plans on encouraging illegal immigrants to voluntarily leave the United States.
After being asked by Blaze Media to discuss the biggest obstacle to carrying out mass deportations, Vance said, "Rome wasn't built in a day" and that officials are working to rebuild interior immigration enforcement that was "gutted" under the Biden-Harris administration.
Vance then gave a little insight into what they are doing to encourage self-deportations.
House Staffer Gained Entry into One of the House Office Buildings that Leads to U.S. Capitol with a Gun Before Trump's Speech to the Nation
Tuesday night was President Trump's much anticipated speech to a joint session of Congress and the nation! - The Gateway Pundit - Jim According to Tarik Johnson, a House staffer gained entry into one of the House office buildings that leads to the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday and he was in possession of a gun!

Emergency Update!!!!!!!
I was going to wait until Monday for this but things are developing rapidly so I must inform the public now in a series of tweets. Here is what’s happening:
On Tuesday (SOTU) a House staffer gained entry into one of the House office buildings that leads to the U.S. Capitol. That staffer was in possession of a gun. He was eventually caught and arrested. What makes the problem even worse I’m told the staffer asked (after his arrest) what the problem was with this as no one said anything to him about him bringing the gun in the previous day.
This is the fourth instance of a gun being brought in a building policed by USCP Chief J Thomas Manger since Trump was elected President. What is frightening to me is that both dates that President Trump attended events at the Capitol it was on a date where a gun made it in one of the buildings and I’m told one of the guns made it in a room where President Trump was actually in and only feet away from him.
This can’t happen!!! I’m still getting more information on this and I’ll have another tweet tomorrow.

The EU, Globalist western governments and western media all wanted to remove Assad, allegedly because he’s a Bad Man.
So they funded and praised anyone fighting against him. - Daniel Jupp 
When Russian support for Assad lessened, because Putin is also a Bad Man and because the EU, western Globalist governments and media and the Biden US administration were happy to bankrupt their own nations and risk WWIII to keep Russia tangled up in Ukraine, Assad fell.
Yeah, a triumph for peace and Democracy. The Bad Man is gone.
The EU, western Globalist governments and media all celebrated...

Do you get this one, right? When Assad was there (Bad Man, Bad Man), these people were not slaughtered. Jihadi militias take over.
MY GOD WHY DID NOBODY SEE THIS COMING….they are slaughtered.
But it’s not Mr Jihadi. Don’t be silly. Mr Jihadi is our friend...

Female former athlete permanently injured by transvestite calls out pink-clad Dems for hypocrisy | Blaze Media:
The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act is a piece of legislation that would have prohibited federally funded school athletic programs from allowing men to invade programs intended for women or girls.
In January, 206 House Democrats voted against the bill, and on Monday, Democrats blocked the corresponding bill in the U.S. Senate even though the supermajority of Americans — 79%, according to a recent New York Times/Ipsos poll — want to see athletes compete in sports teams that conform to their sex.

Liberal Cities Sue Trump Admin Claiming Sanctuary Policies Make Their "Communities Safer" - Louder With Crowder
Liberal Cities Sue Trump Admin Claiming Sanctuary Policies Make Their "Communities Safer" - Louder With Crowder:
Seattle City Attorney Ann Davison announced the lawsuit on Monday, saying the Trump administration's threats to withhold federal funding to cities with sanctuary laws was an example of "federal overreach."
In other words, Seattle believes it’s “federal overreach” when the federal government enforces federal laws. You cannot make that level of absurdity up.
Here's the 10-Minute Video That Obliterates the Liberal Media's Protection of Joe Biden
We know about the liberal media cover-up regarding Joe Biden’s mental health
It wasn’t a mid-way through his term crisis either.
- On day one, his staff noticed he was losing his marbles and did whatever they could to hide this from the public.
- Toward the end, it was clear to voters that Biden had retreated into the bunker, the beach, or anywhere that would limit access to the White House Press Corps.
- Many reporters knew of his condition and said nothing out of fear of helping the Republicans or losing access.
Here's the quintessential video that obliterates the protection the establishment press afforded the former president, sticking to the script despite Joe being a mumbling, confused mess before the nation...
