Trump wants to attack cartels. Many Mexicans welcome it - Los Angeles Times

Despite Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum’s opposition to foreign intervention, polls show some Mexicans support U.S. military action against drug cartels operating in Mexico. - Kate Linthicum
and Jared Olson

• Decades of escalating violence and failed security strategies have left many Mexicans skeptical that their government can battle cartels without U.S. help.
• Experts question whether U.S. strikes would succeed, pointing to past crackdowns that fractured cartels into smaller, more violent rival groups...

It Sure Looks Like Obamacare is Rife with Fraud

In any case, today the WaPost makes the case that Obamacare subsidies, the coming expiration of which was the stated reason Democrats shut down the government, should not be extended.  - John Sexton  

• Because there is lots of evidence suggesting the program is rife with fraud...

What GAO staff did was create 20 fake identities and then apply for coverage as if they were real people. 

To test enrollment controls...

The federal Marketplace approved fully subsidized insurance coverage for all four of our fictitious applicants for November through December 2024. The combined total amount of APTC paid to insurance companies for all four fictitious enrollees was about $2,350 per month.

• Next they tried the same approach with 20 fake identities applying for 2025 coverage. All but one were initially approved...

LOOK at the DRIVER's LICENSE form!!!-----Why is Benson Adding Thousands to Already-Inflated Voter Rolls? - Michigan Enjoyer

Michigan has more registered voters than eligible citizens, but that hasn’t stopped the secretary of state from adding even more -  Anna Hoffman
Michigan voter registrations saw a 9% increase from July to October, according to new required reporting from Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson...
As of October, over 500,000 more people are registered to vote than are eligible to vote in the State of Michigan. 

• The next voter roll cleanup isn’t scheduled until 2027, when 202,690 voters are slated for removal.

The math doesn’t add up: 

How is it possible to add over 180,000 new voters per month to our voter rolls when our current rolls already exceed the Michigan voting-age population?...

A pretty BIG error!

Islam's Trojan Horse is inside the gates

You must understand they are playing the long game … they are patient the way cancer is patient. - Troy Carico 

I’ve seen the enemy up close … coffee-breath close, not sanitized through a remote monitor screen in some cushy Pentagon operations center. 

I saw him in the Hindu Kush, wearing the uniform I helped put on his back, carrying the rifle I taught him to shoot, eating the chow I shared with him – only to have him slip out at night to plant IEDs (improvised explosive device) for his Taliban brothers using the very gear for which Uncle Sam paid.

• Daytime? They called us “mentor-sahib,” smiling just enough to keep the paychecks coming.
• Nighttime? Green-on-blue (insider) attacks, “friendly fire” happening...

That’s taqiyya – a Shia doctrine that explicitly permits lying about one’s faith to advance Islam or protect oneself from danger – in action...

• This was not a “lone wolf.” 
• Lone wolves don’t have an entire global ideology whispering in their ear that deceiving the infidel is not just permitted, it’s pious...

I buried brothers because of these cretins. Good men – fathers, husbands, sons – gunned down by the very soldiers they were trying to help...

Trust the science!

 

Widespread Obamacare Fraud: Phony SSNs Had a 100% Success Rate for Getting Coverage, Investigation Finds

Widespread Obamacare Fraud: Phony SSNs Had a 100% Success Rate for Getting Coverage, Investigation Finds: 

The government watchdog also uncovered 66,000 Social Security numbers with more than a year’s worth of subsidized coverage in 2024, including one number used for the equivalent of 71 years of coverage — in a single plan year.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which manages the ACA marketplace, does not block new applications using the same Social Security number, according to the report.

Additionally, 58,000 SSNs receiving benefits in 2023 matched Social Security death data, resulting in $94 million in taxpayer-funded subsidies being sent to health insurers on behalf of deceased individuals.

There's a strategy within some interpretations of Islam: peace when weak, intolerance once strong.

This pattern has played out in every country where Islam becomes the majority.

About That Retracted Climate Report …

The global warming crisis blob is eager to bullhorn any scrap of “science” to scare the industrial West into surrendering to its agenda.  - I & I Editorial Board

But it turns out that when a much-touted report was slain by error, then the metaphorical crickets...are all that can be heard...
“The Economic Commitment of Climate Change” wasn’t merely “a fatally flawed paper,” says Roger Pielke Jr., environmental studies professor, “but a flawed paper that had taken on outsized influence in climate advocacy and policy.”

• The authors predicted that climate change would cost $38 trillion a year by 2049, estimating “that the world economy is committed to an income reduction of 19% within the next 26 years, regardless of how rapidly humanity now cuts emissions,” says Carbon Brief...
• The authors further claimed to see clearly enough into the future to project “the global gross domestic product would be lowered by 62% by 2100.”...

Trump’s affordability crusade beats the streets with tiny truck solution.

When reliable transportation became unaffordable for average families under Biden, it trapped millions in a cycle of debt, limited job opportunities and eroded independence, turning what used to be a basic middle-class necessity into a luxury that many could no longer attain. - Amanda Head

Betrayed American workers expose dark underbelly of H-1B visa scheme * WorldNetDaily * by Jason Hopkins, Daily Caller News Foundation

Betrayed American workers expose dark underbelly of H-1B visa scheme * WorldNetDaily * by Jason Hopkins, Daily Caller News Foundation: 

They were promised lucrative and stable careers if they "learned to code" and earned a degree in software engineering.

Instead, many Americans in the tech industry have been left disillusioned as they face mass layoffs and chronic unemployment — a crisis they say stems from an addiction to cheap foreign labor pipelines that are made accessible through programs like H-1B, and are touted by companies as a way to hire the "best and brightest."
