The fact this one dude - by himself - can walk into any state and find blatant fraud everywhere he goes proves two things: 1) the fraud is rampant at an unprecedented scale and 2) the government agencies who are supposed to protect our tax dollars are either completely incompetent or complicit in the fraud.

Nick Shirley uncovers an adult day care in Flushing, Queens with 7,000 phantom members. Nick: “This public document says you have 7,899 members.” Employee: “No, we don’t have 7,000 members.” Nick: “So you’re overbilling then? You’re getting paid $1,600 per patient — that’s how you got $12.9 million in 2024.” Employee: “Please leave.” American taxpayer dollars at work.

@theblaze Every day it gets harder to argue our immigration policies are not an existential threat to us.

@JoshuaTCharles Just curious, can you give an example of one of these details and how being Catholic helped you understand it?
English
I was protestant for 31 years. I loved the Bible since I was a little boy, and had multiple study Bibles I read everyday by the time I was in middle school. Most of them are still in my library to this day.
But I’ve never loved nor understood the Bible as much as I do now, as a Catholic. Countless details I struggled to make sense of as a protestant now pop out, and are far clearer and richer than I ever previously knew.
When I simply began listening to the Church, the Scriptures became far richer, and made far more sense.

This is probably the principal falsehood I most often hear from liberals about Jesus. According to them, Jesus would never require you to sacrifice your sexual preferences, vices, hobbies, time, pleasures, finances, etc. In reality, the Jesus of the Bible demands your entire life. A startling example is Him telling people who had walked down roads lined with crucified corpses to "pick up their cross" and follow him.
English
“Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.” - Matthew 16:24
English
The problem I have with this take is that it ignores Islam itself and its teachings. It as if you do not believe that Muslims, once in a position to do so, with the requisite population share, won’t do what their prophet commands and what they have consistently done for 1,400 years. This goes beyond culture—it is religion, the believers’ operating system and worldview. Culture itself is downstream from it. It is not as if we don’t know what Islam teaches and what the Muslims here now are already saying.

@GrothendieckEGA @tyler_austin55 Thanks for telling me what I meant. I had no idea.
English
@bartcf1 @tyler_austin55 "The GDP is to serve the people" is the same as "Common Good Capitalism" (aka Stakeholder Capitalism (WEF)) advocated by Elizabeth Warren, Klaus Schwab, BlackRock, Pope Francis and Larry Ellison. Vance's ideology is just Distributism.
English
Vance is right. A serious Conservative should not only ask whether GDP rises, but whether families, workers, and the nation endure.
Robby Soave@robbysoave
JD Vance is so frustrating. Here he takes gratuitous shots at Milton Friedman as a bad model for Republican economic thinking. With Friedman as the guiding light, Ronald Reagan won 49 states and ushered in a decade of unrivaled prosperity.

@GrothendieckEGA @tyler_austin55 Strongly opposed to communism. You’re likely reading something into my comment that isn’t there.
English
@bartcf1 @tyler_austin55 Can you come up with a policy that increased GDP while having negative effects on "the people"?
English
The people begin to "serve the GDP" when GDP becomes the end-all, be-all metric for a people's well-being. While GDP is of course an important metric, making that a sole or even the primary focus, will inevitably, on occasion, result in the adoption of policies that will increase GDP while harming the people.
What good is increasing the GDP of a city by importing foreign visa workers if it makes it impossible for young families in that city to purchase a home, or closes off an industry to the native population? Is increasing GDP by farming out manufacturing really the best choice if it also weakens our independence and sovereignty, relegating us to a purely service-based economy, and deprives thousands of blue-collar workers of their livelihoods and ability to contribute and provide?
Our leaders should be taking a more holistic approach to securing their people's welfare, one with the primary goal of increasing not simply GDP, but what Vance called the "dignity of the human person." Can our young families buy homes? Can the average family do so on one income? Are we protecting our independence and sovereignty by maintaining a diverse economy not dependent on foreign nations that may or may not be hostile to us? While GDP will of course be an important consideration in answering these questions, it won't be the only one.

@bartcf1 @tyler_austin55 How does people serve GDP?

So you want to send Melania back to Slovenia too, right? Right??
Because if you don't, that would confirm you're a white supremacist.

America isn’t Zohran’s home - Uganda is. It’s not Mehdi’s home - that’s the UK. It’s not Hasan’s home - that would be Turkey. They slander our country because it is not their home, because they don’t love it like they would their home They have to go back
English
Mamdani says something here that is 100% correct: “each of you has a special power: the power to determine what America means.”
As we willingly import more Muslims and communists like him, they will continue to reshape the electorate, elect themselves, and remake this country and its cities into their own image. Credit to Mamdani for understanding what most Americans refuse to.

Communist NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who just came to this country, chose to become an American, is deciding he is the foremost authority to tell Americans what it means to be American.
He has the AUDACITY, on America's 250th birthday, to call our great nation "an arena of supremacy" — a nation that "persecutes," ruled by "oligarchs."
He sneers that his fellow Americans are "small, weak, unoriginal."
He says “ICE is invading our streets” while he endorses and welcomes an invasion of third-world savages.
Millions dream of the gift he was given.
A man who spends his time burning the most American city to the ground does not deserve to be America, let alone dictate to others what it means to be an America.

As Frenchmen, we are honored to serve the friendship between our two great nations.

@TeslaNaranHamia @mehdirhasan Of course. I love discussing this stuff and am happy to answer any questions or criticisms.
English
@bartcf1 @mehdirhasan I will be happy read these. Give me time. Thanks for engaging in an honest manner. This isn’t my past experience with many who immediately resort to personal insults.

1. You didn’t respond to my tweet? Do you want to start by deporting your immigrant in laws? Your immigrant father-in-law, after all, was a convicted criminal.
2. Washington actually had people called Muhammad fighting in his Continental Army. Have you ever read US history?
Brandon Gill@realBrandonGill
Mehdi will just always be upset about the fact that George Washington’s first name wasn’t Muhammad.

Yes, there were others contradicting Paul's message; Paul is very explicit about that and it's why he's writing the letter. But the contradiction Paul is talking about has nothing to do with whether Christ was actually crucified or not. Paul is arguing that the Galations are justified by Christ's sacrifice for them, which paid the penalty for their sins. The judaizers argued that righteousness could only be obtained by compliance with Jewish law. Read Galations itself and it is clear.
And as I mentioned previously, the Jews acknowledged Jesus was crucified. The denied his divinity by claiming he did not resurrect, but that his body was stolen by the disciples (Matthew 28:11-15).
English
@bartcf1 @mehdirhasan The point remains that Paul’s words “I showed him as crucified” l, reveal an underlying subtext, that is, someone else, possibly Judaizers, who did exist by the way, were contradicting Paul’s assertions. This isn’t just my reading of it. This has been theorized by others as well
English
@TeslaNaranHamia @mehdirhasan It is not vague. He makes the same claim in multiple other places. Here are some excerpts from Mcdowells book that quotes these verses and discusses their meaning:
