The theft of welfare funds in Minnesota has been a topic but now we’re also learning what we already knew: huge amounts of money sent to Ukraine were siphoned off…and, in the end, it will be to corrupt Ukrainians, Europeans and Americans (and I won’t be surprised if some Russians got in on it, as well).
To be fair, almost as long as there has been war there have been war contractors and thus corruption. Napoleon dealt with it by periodically shooting a contractor…not actually to stop the theft, but to keep it to a dull roar. When governments are spending vast sums of money – that is, spending someone else’s money – the temptation to rake off is high. But what we’re seeing out of Ukraine is a bit astonishing. Huge amounts of money which was supposed to go to support the Ukraine battle and home fronts stolen and probably winding up in bank accounts around world…and done with the active and widespread cooperation of Ukrainian government officials, including officials of the Executive branch which is tasked with, you know, sending men to die in battle for the future of Ukraine. Roll that around in your head: the Russians are knocking at the gates of your country, they could break through at any time…every ounce of effort has to be directed to the front…but here were whole networks of Ukrainians (and others) using its as an opportunity to get hookers and blow money.
John Lennon once famously sung about a possible future with no religion – well, Johnny, here ya go. You got what you wanted: a society which doesn’t remotely believe in God. The result? Men dying in a pointless war while those who sent them to die steal everything not nailed down. It is all of a piece, you see? The whole nauseating degradation of the modern world stems from that – people don’t believe in God.
We have people writing weepy-eyed articles right now about how cruel and unjust it is for us to whack drug mules on the high seas. This is a form of theft – part and parcel with those who were stealing the rations of Ukrainian soldiers. It only seems like separate issues but you have to raise your point of view – the person getting a kick back for a Ukrainian defense contract is the same species of crook as the person writing an article essentially saying we have to let the drugs flow. That is, let the poison flow. Have to let people continue to die. Not just the drug addicts, but also people over the whole chain…remember, lots of people get murdered in Latin and South America as the Cartels fight for supremacy or just kill those who irritate them. They are casualties, too…just as dead as the addict in an American gutter. And just as much a precious human being as anyone else. But, we gotta let him die, you see? There’s this theory we pretend to have which says it is better for 100,000 people to die than to have even a slight infringement upon a right we just made up yesterday (in this case, a right to not be killed while smuggling poison). And people writing such articles are stealing – they are being paid money extracted from the productive by force or fraud in order to propagandize in favor of the productive suffering ever more.
And as I noted, its all because of a lack of belief in God. If you believe in God, even if you’re otherwise a criminal, you won’t be the sort of beast who steals rations from soldiers, nor live a nice life writing articles defending the rights of drug smugglers. A thief is a thief…these people are demons. And we have to start lumping them all together…the Minnesota welfare cheat, the Venezuelan drug smuggler, the EU-crat getting a rake off…I don’t care how nice they’re dressed or how many people they pay off to write up excuses, we have to see them for the malevolent, dishonest, soul-destroying demons they are. And I think Trump does – and that’s why he wants to end the war and whack the druggies. It puts the demons out of business. Somewhere in there, Trump believes in God – he’s human. Normal. One of us. And for ten years he’s dealt with these people and knows who they are, on a deep and philosophic level. I just hope that Vance has also internalized just what sort of people are opposing us, because this is going to be the work of generations.

There should never be foreign communities in America … for example the Somali community in MN. We are not tribal country like the shit hole countries they come from. Become an American or go back home. The lack of respect these people have for Americans, who have welcomed them, is shameful. They are cockroaches and society destroyers in my opinion.
So Zelenskyy is tanking the peace deal saying he won’t cede any land. I guess he doesn’t realize that he already has, but little men have power issues and both Zelenskyy and Putin are little men. At this point, I say we arm them both and just ask that they kill each other off as quickly as possible. The world would be much better off without both of them.

Zelenskyy can’t afford to have the war end – he’s almost certain to lose an election post-war and that opens him, his family and all his friends up to indictment.
Holy shit …
A woke Maryland middle school has come under scrutiny after showing students as young as 11 a slideshow with advice for ‘coming out’ as transgender.
“Come under scrutiny”???? How about come under fire. This is straight up child abuse and endangerment and every single one of those educators need to be beaten within an inch of their lives then thrown out of civil society.

Some really interesting stuff has popped up in the last few days, to very little notice as far as I can tell. Honoring the celebration of the Immaculate Conception, President Trump issued a letter praising the Blessed Mother and ending with the Hail Mary, he and Rand Paul appear to be working together on a radical adjustment of how health insurance is bought, the Supreme Court has agreed to undertake arguments regarding birthright citizenship, James O’Keefe has released another video exposing the massive scam of the SBA’s 8(a) program is aimed at “small disadvantaged businesses” (while wearing the most bizarre “disguise” I have ever seen and prompting a Substack personal attack on him so wild and insane it is like a primer on how to commit libel), and the SCOTUS case “Trump v. Slaughter” which touches on, if not focuses on, one of the topics I have addressed so often in the past (the fact that “Congress keeps delegating its lawmaking powers to Executive agencies” and the powers of unelected political appointees to have the de facto power to make laws without the participation or even oversight of our only legal legislative body).
Skipping to the latter, the article states: “In short, the wheel of bureaucratic tyranny first began spinning when the lazy Congress started delegating its lawmaking authority to executive agencies, calling it “rulemaking”. “ I remember Trump, in his first term, lecturing Congress to “do your damned job” but most people had no idea what he was talking about. It was this—-the laziness or evasion of responsibility or political maneuvering to create a de fact extra-legal fourth branch of government—that is the Deep State referenced but so seldom defined.
(I)n a near-Guinness level run-on sentence, Justice Jackson rhetorically moonwalked through the looney liberal notion that unelected technocrats are somehow smarter and more trustworthy than dumb politicians (or judges, for that matter) who are actually accountable to voters:
Jackson’s cerebrally suspect reasoning spurred a rare rebuke from Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who snapped:
I chose to highlight Kavanaugh’s statement because it is such a precise and concise summary of the danger of shifting legislative powers to unelected political appointees. “I think broad delegations to unaccountable independent agencies raise enormous constitutional and real-world problems for individual liberty.” This is the kind of analysis and thinking we need on the Court, not some ditzy DEI appointment.
I’m seeing lawyer after lawyer say the SC is set to “increase” Trump’s power…as if none of these people have ever read Article II, section 1, first paragraph. The bottom line is that you can’t legislate restrictions on the Executive power. It is vested in the Presidency. If there is a thing that requires Executive action at the federal level, then it is a power of the Presidency, nobody else. And anyone who doesn’t like it has two options – amend the Constitution or simply not appropriate the funds for Presidential actions (you know, that whole “power of the purse” thing).
KJB is someone who has clearly never thought the matter through…that if we have unelected bureaucrats who can’t be controlled by anyone, then we no longer have a Republic. That she is merely advocating for Wilson’s plan is neither here nor there…he did think it through and bureaucratic tyranny is what he wanted.
Paul and Trump Might Be Teaming Up to Make Healthcare Affordable Again
Following his release by the president of Paul’s text to him, Paul stated:
My first reading of this stirred some concerns, as it appeared to suggest putting the behemoths of Costco, Amazon and Sam’s Club in charge of selling healthcare insurance. But a second reading, focusing on “legalizes the ability for any group to purchase insurance collectively and operate across state lines” pointed out that any group could form an insurance collective. I remember when my national horse association wanted to do this and could not.
As a former insurance agent I have always thought costs would be dramatically cut if we were to get rid of the state insurance restrictions, so a company could sell across state lines. Insurance is really just a matter of spreading risk, and the larger the risk pool the less risk there is for the company. So if a certain condition can be covered nationwide its risk pool is expanded, reducing the exposure of each person insured and spreading the risk to enable the insuring company to charge less for a policy.
Adding the ability to form large groups to generate group policies just adds to this dilution of risk and reduction of cost.
Gee, I wonder why the Complicit Agenda Media are not on this like ducks on June bugs? //sarc
It is certainly an idea worth looking at – of course, it also means that Amazon, et al will become even bigger. But by creating gigantic risk pools, costs per person – even for those with serious medical conditions – will go down.
Well, it also opens up other entities to forming insurance collectives. As I said my national horse registry wanted to do something like this but ran into the speed bump of different companies licensed in different states.
I know a goal is to separate insurance coverage from employment, so people can take their coverage with them when they leave a job, but still companies could form insurance co-ops and offer reduced rates to employees. The thing is, this puts control back in the hands of the people by offering choices.
This is what you get when problem solvers are in charge. Not responsibility-dodgers, not power-seekers, but people whose worldview is to identify problems and then seek solutions.
I love how Rocks says “None of this is normal” LOL, as if he is normal. Democrats have no idea how much they are despised and completely ignored. These are the same people who put the country through mask mandates, vaccine mandates, closed schools and gyms but left casinos open, and yet they say what’s going on now is “not normal” …. GTFOH. Yesterday Schumer ranted at the lectern about Venezuela saying “what the hell is going on?”. Everyone knows what’s going on Chuck except you, and no one gives a shit about you to explain it. Here’s an idea, if you object to drug runners being killed, just think of them as a clump of cells.
And Rocks, even if Trump had Alzheimer’s, he’s still better than any Democrat could ever be. Jasmine Crockett is running for Senate LOL. She is the intellectual leader of the Democrat Party. Oh yea, uh huh.
So the people who would have voted for someone with obvious dementia have suddenly decided that (1) they can diagnose dementia and (2) be very upset about it? This is a clear example of what happens when people are controlled by the voices in their heads.
Uh oh, it’s time to be afraid again, and the only remedy here is to give the Pharmaceutical companies a lot of money. Rocks please run down to your nearest Walgreens and get that vaccine …. You can save lives
Deadly ‘super’ flu surge forces schools to close and triggers mask mandates across America
From your link: “In clinical labs, 7.1 percent of tests are now positive for the virus, a rising trend. “
Put another way, fewer than one-tenth of people who are already sick enough to call for lab tests are testing positive for the virus that sweeps the country every autumn. Here’s a prediction: that trend will continue to rise, as it does every year. Until it stops rising, levels off and then drops dramatically. As it does every year.
At least under this administration illness will be treated medically, not politically.
Hard to believe they are still playing this fear card.
To this day there has been almost no coverage of the facts that (1) the survival rate of Covid was nearly 99%, (2) that the fatality rate was nearly always due to serious comorbidities in small and specific demographics that could be protected, and (3) there were proven treatments that were either withheld from the public through acts like governors banning their sale or pharmacists refusing to honor prescriptions or by threatening doctors with loss of licenses and even jail for prescribing them.
In other words, we knew what to do for respiratory infections and we knew how to handle overactive immune systems when they flooded the lungs with fluids. We knew that steroids reduce inflammation, we knew that nebulized steroids would relieve lung congestion, we knew that drugs like hydroxychloroquine would address autoimmune overreactions (after being used for decades to treat other autoimmune issues) and we knew that other tested and safe drugs like ivermectin had been used to successfully treat or prevent infections.
“We” knew that, but this information was either withheld or lied about, because it was essential that President Trump not only get no credit for recommending these or similar treatments but that the nation be terrified and panicked to distract from the planned election frauds in the works.
And people died.
Now they want to play the same cards, though there is a little more awareness now of the grift. We now know that masks are not only useless but dangerous, for example. But the scam worked once, so they are going to dig it out, try to refresh it a little, and try it again.
Courage. Choose it
