The Governor, the CEO & the FBI: Scandal Threatens New York Hospital - RealClearInvestigations Picks of the Week

New CEO Megan Ryan discovered the hospital had been putting up $50 million annually for 20 years in place of required state matching funds for federal Medicaid grants.

...The controversy centers on claims that New York State engineered a two-decade scheme forcing the Long Island safety-net hospital to provide its own Medicaid matching funds, potentially violating federal law.

How sharia law violates everything the founding fathers built | Blaze Media: 

In countries where it is enforced, it often dictates punishments, civil law, and social norms based on religious authority rather than individual liberty. This approach contrasts sharply with the U.S. Constitution, which separates church and state, ensuring that government does not dictate religious belief or practice.

Minneapolis City Councilman Carjacked in His Own District

While it is not yet on par with Portland, Seattle, or, God forbid, Chicago, it is nonetheless sliding into decline. - David Strom 

Since COVID and the George Floyd riots, the city has rapidly gone downhill...

During and after the disastrous year of 2020, carjackings became common in Minneapolis, with 650 in 2021, or two a day.

• The new "hot" crime is breaking into cars parked on the street, with hundreds of occurrences a month. In a one-month period this summer, over 400 cars were broken into...

‘Those Who Can Leave Will’: Mamdani, ‘Partner In The Hammer And Sickle’ In For Rude Awakening, Says Campaign Vet

“If you are a radical who is intent on blowing up the system and turning it into a socialist utopia, you need someone that understands the regulations, the laws and the things that are currently on the books that you have to change,” - Anthony Iafrate
Mamdani’s team described Bisgaard-Church as the “chief architect” of the mayor-elect’s proposed Department of Community Safety, CBS News reported Monday.

Dutch family has cared for graves of American soldiers for 80 years

But until recently, his family back in New York did not know that his grave site is lovingly tended to by his adopted family in the Netherlands. - Isabel Vincent

Three generations of a Dutch family have been the caretakers of an American soldier’s grave since 1945 — and promise future descendants will do the same.

• Ernest Francis Fichtl Jr., from the Little Neck neighborhood of Queens, was killed during one of World War II’s bloodiest European battles and is buried at Netherlands American Cemetery and Memorial in Margraten.
• But until recently, his family back in New York did not know that his grave site is lovingly tended to by his adopted family in the Netherlands.

Tracking China in the Americas: When Beijing Controls the Capital's Power Grid

China controls 100% of the power distribution in Lima, Peru! - Sarah Anderson 

That means that at least 10 million people rely on two Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOE), China Southern Power Grid International (CSGI) and China Three Gorges Corporation, to keep their lights on.

• This didn't happen overnight.

It started as a series of normal-looking business deals. 

• In 2019, China Three Gorges purchased a hydroelectric dam. 
• In 2020, a subsidiary of that company bought Luz del Sur, a privately owned electricity distribution system. 
• In 2024, CSGI came along and bought Enel Distribución Perú, which was previously owned by an Italian company...

'False, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory': Trump threatens BBC with $1 billion lawsuit * WorldNetDaily * by Joe Kovacs

'False, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory': Trump threatens BBC with $1 billion lawsuit * WorldNetDaily * by Joe Kovacs: 

PALM BEACH, Florida – As the head of BBC and its news chief resigned over the weekend amid a firestorm for deceptively editing Donald Trump's remarks on Jan. 6, 2021, the president wasted no time threatening a $1 billion lawsuit if the network does not retract its "false" and "defamatory" statements by Friday.

Fox News reports the president's "litigation counsel sent a scathing notice of intent to bring a civil action lawsuit on Sunday to BBC Chair Samir Shah, along with general counsel Sarah Jones. The letter, which has been obtained by Fox News Digital, demands that 'false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory statements' made about Trump must be retracted immediately."
