IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) In probably the greatest financial scandal in American history---dwarfing the Tweed Ring, the Whiskey Ring, and Teapot Dome, and in amounts rivaling the 2008 financial meltdown---the Skinny Minny Somali "day care" scandal is absolutely gigantic. I wrote about this in my substack yesterday, explaining why almost every major Department in the U.S. government is going to have a stake in exposing and punishing this. It affects the Department of Ag (food centers), Department of Ed ("learning centers," where one of the signs read "Learing Center"), the Department of Homeland Security and DOJ, and, to the extent multi-state fraud was involved, the SEC. If products were shipped in for fraud it could also involve Transportation. In other words, almost every element of the federal government has an interest in crushing this. So far, DOJ has arrested 100, of which 85 were not Amish. Also, as I said, it is not contained to just Minny, as already there are ongoing large investigations into Covid relief funds in IL, health care fraud in OH, A citizen journalist just arrived there to start the open kimono. Even DemoKKKrat ME has shut off payments to a Somali day care chain due to fraud claims. Then we have Medicare fraud in Kollyfornia, and now, it appears, more Somali fraud in Washington state. Aleady in WA state, a legislator who owns a series of day cares has filed legislation to hide them from scrutiny. When I say this "daycare" fraud will expand everywhere, I'm serious. Now HUD is looking at Rutabaga's "rental assistance" paid to the dead and to, ahem, non citizens. Furthermore, ya'll wanted election reform? Now the Skinny Minny fraud saga is being investigated as a front for fraudulent ballots and stolen elections.The Prancing Gheyboy Tampon TImmy is up to his evil little neck in this, and was warned last year of the fraud, but he obstructed investigations. It's so bad even Newsweak can't ignore it. Oh, and now MAGA is looking at crowdfunding hundreds of Nick Shirleys. 2) Wait, say what? Trump over 50% again in a major poll? Meaning he is likely over 55% since they always poll him low. 3) A judge has ordered that transcripts and audio from a closed-door hearing about alleged Charlie Kirk shooter Tyler Robinson must be made public. 4) As Don Henley sang, it's all about "Forgiveness, forgiveness" as an OR city put a murderer who gunned down a teenage girl on its police review board. 5) It looks like Big Firetruck is coming under antitrust heat for price fixing fire fighting trucks. 6) Shipwreckedcrew details in exhaustive fashion how the DOJ works. Try 6,500 assistant attorneys, 3,200 trial attorneys. Tens of thousands of cases per day. All cases still in the pipeline from Trump 1 to Rutabaga still must be pursued. Because of opposition to Trump, turnover has been as high as 2/3 in some departments. Only 31 of 93 U.S. attorneys nominated by Trump have been confirmed so far. And yet Bondi's crew has won almost every single case the toadstools brought against Trump. Meanwhile, it's possible that DOJ was just looking for the right glue to hold everything together, as Bondi has tasked investigators to look into an election-meddling conspiracy. 7) The Traitor Tuppence mirage: why the "right" isn't leaving Trump. 8) DemoKKKrats in trouble financially. Rs have almost an $80m advantage in fundraising. 9) Oh and how about this one? The administration has changed the wording of federal contracts to say that if a company is engaged in DEI it is engaging in fraud. Fed contracts now will require that a contractor NOT be engaging in DEI discrimination or it will violate funding clauses. In other words, companies that work for Uncle Sam may not in any way be involved in DEI or they won't get their cheddar. As Jeff Childers says, once you sign that fed contract, every invoice becomes a certificate of compliance. Who does that affect? Gee, last week Google and Verizon just got requests for docs from the DOJ. Folks, this is titanic, and is the equivalent of the Civil Rights Act of 1965 in what will be its effects on institutions, including colleges. 10) Violent crime arrests double in Trump's first year. Meanwhile, the D.C. pipe bomber confessed and said it wasn't about Trump. "I just snapped." Yeah, we all make bombs when we just snap. 11) A federal court allowed President Trump's block on the use of Medicaid money for Planned Murderhood to stand. 12) President Trump vetoed a water bill for CO until the state ends its "Sanctuary" status and frees Tina Peters. This is how you play hardball. 13) Oh, the other side knows how to play hardball too: the mayor of Groomer City (SF) snuck through a reparations bill that would give each black resident $5 million. If they hand out a single dollar, watch the lawsuits fly faster than a hypersonic missile, and watch them thoroughly bankrupt Groomer City. IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS 14) The number of illegal invaders coming into Kollyfornia plummeted ...
