It really would have been nice if everyone in LA and California had been “closely monitoring” the Lachman Fire, the empty reservoir, and the high wind warnings that burned entire towns down here in the city. You know, instead of going out of town.

@HamEggsnSam @RobMcNealy Read the letter again carefully - you are misunderstanding. Texas law is helping you to know how banks and credit card companies are classifying your purchases.

@RobMcNealy I didn't buy a gun. I bought a backpack, hiking boots, socks, camp stove, tent, etc. Why is this the government's business?

I’m just done with being a slave to this government. I bought camping gear and the Texas government forced the bank to report my purchase to the state. Why can’t these people mind their fucking business?

@DrOzCMS @WhiteHouse If individuals committed fraud, then those individuals should face investigation and charges. But broad claims about “Somalis” as a whole being responsible crosses into stereotyping, and it’s not supported by verified evidence.

You’ve probably heard the news by now: Minnesota fraudsters stole over $1 billion from Medicaid. And you deserve an explanation. Our staff at CMS told me they’ve never seen anything like this in Medicaid — and everyone from Gov. Tim Walz on down needs to be investigated, because they’ve been asleep at the wheel. Based on what we know now, this is a clear dereliction of duty. First, the facts: In recent years, Minnesota Medicaid launched several new programs, including Housing Stabilization Services, which helped disabled homeless individuals, and Early Intensive Developmental and Behavioral Intervention, which reimbursed therapy costs for families with autistic children. Some bad actors in Minnesota’s Somali community decided to game the system. And when they got away with it, they decided to go bigger. The housing program was supposed to cost $2.6 million dollars annually. Last year, it paid out over $100 million. The autism program ballooned from $3 million in 2018 to nearly $400 million in 2023. These scammers used stolen taxpayer money to buy flashy cars, purchase overseas real estate, and offer kickbacks to parents who enrolled their kids at fake autism treatment centers. Some of it may have even made its way to the Somalian terrorist group Al-Shebab. So why didn’t Walz stop them? That’s simple: because he went all-in on identity politics. Somalis are a huge voting bloc, and the state’s leaders were afraid that “forcefully tackling this issue might cause political backlash.” That’s not me saying that. It’s a Somali-American fraud investigator who talked to The New York Times. Somali scammers get rich off the programs Gov. Walz was supposed to be managing. Minnesota politicians get elected with Somali votes and keep the money flowing. This isn’t just fraud: it’s political patronage at public expense. When Minnesota told CMS about the problem last year, they assured us they’d handle it. By summer, it was obvious they couldn’t — or wouldn’t. So, we stepped in and shut down the worst program: housing. We also froze provider enrollment in a few of the most abused programs. So where do we go from here? To restore the integrity of the Medicaid program, Minnesota must: 1. Provide CMS with weekly updates on how the state is stopping fraud. 2. Freeze enrollment of all high-risk providers for 6 months. 3. Confirm all providers in place are legitimate or remove them. 4. Send CMS a corrective action plan of how these will prevent this from happening again. If we’re unsatisfied with the state’s plans or cooperation, we’ll stop paying the federal share of these programs. The message to Walz is clear: either fix this in 60 days or start looking under your couch for spare change, because we’re done footing the bill for your incompetence. With CMS on the case, these scammers and their bureaucratic enablers have nowhere left to hide. The vulnerable Americans who depend on these programs — and the taxpayers who fund them — deserve the truth.

What’s a horror line that hits harder than “I am the devil and I’m here to do the devil’s work.” Not talking about the whole movie, the actor or even the scene. Just one line of dialogue.

@JohnSchoffstall @wanyeburkett "good schools" are a euphemism for something ..

@wanyeburkett I've noticed that urban friends tend to move to the suburbs when they have kids. The l’appel du vide of urban danger and edginess gets overridden by parental safety instincts.

The other day I said that urban liberals don’t really like crime or criminals, that it’s more complicated than that, but there definitely is a kind of young urbanite who moves from a safe suburb and on some level kind of likes that the city is a little dangerous and edgy. You see this weird thing in our culture where it’s cool and real and authentic to grow up in the PJs and meanwhile people from safe suburbs are plain and boring and not interesting. I think we don’t have nearly enough contempt for this aspect of our culture.

@7Jugo @wanyeburkett Homicide data is the most reliable crime stat, because there is always a body and someone that caused it.

There are more and less crude ways to say this, but the average liberal *doesn’t even know* that there are large racial disparities in criminality. Go watch that Charlie Kirk Jubilee video again. When he says that African-Americans commit more crime, the people in the room gasp, cover their mouths, react with visible shock. They literally don’t know the most basic explanatory fact about American crime. Like, it would be wrong to say that they know nothing. What they know is the opposite of knowing something. It is just impossible that you’re going to have anything meaningful to say about crime in the United States if you don’t know that figure. It’s possible to know that figure and believe that there exists an explanation for it that survives contact with your progressivism. That’s fine. We can have that debate. But liberals by and large don’t even know the contours of the debate they’re meant to be having. They don’t know the most basic details. In the Hayes rebuttal video that’s making the rounds he says that these are, “obviously racist claims.” That’s where we are. The most basic facts, available to everyone, collected by the FBI — these facts are largely not even known by liberals. And when they learn them, they reflexively dispute them. They are on another planet.

@NewRightPoast kind of reminds me of this old twitter account archive.is/LRe05

When I was researching for an essay, I realized that ED was the best source of information on the history of Reddit's censorship regime. They had the history all laid out in a way that no real news source did. Despite their trollish approach it was actually real and useful journalism.

Have long had an urge to create an Encyclopedia Dramatica-style wiki site called Libtard Destroyer 9000. Pages for the Tulsa Race Massacre, the Belgian Congo, Rotherham, Covid, Mike Brown, Russiagate, 2020 election fraud, dispelling foundational myths with the necessary hatefacts. Can't decide if this is based/useful or cringe and Ben Shapiro-pilled.

@ProgressingCali @UFWupdates Maybe the child laborers were paying union dues.

@UFWupdates The injuries he suffered while jumping off a 30' tall building he climbed? Seems an important detail to leave out. Also, why you're here, why are do you support child slave labor like that farm? We're all wanting to know.
