Ilhan Omar Goes Full Ghost Mode When Asked About Massive Minnesota Feeding Scam She Helped Supercharge

She knows we know, but thinks she's untouchable

Rep. Ilhan Omar (Socialist-MN) had nothing to say when Fox News Digital asked her point-blank if she would cooperate with the investigation into Minnesota's massive "Feeding Our Future" scandal. The far-left lawmaker faces accusations of ties to those at the center of a scheme federal prosecutors say ripped off taxpayers for roughly $250 million. Yet when pressed on those connections, Omar went radio silent.

(H/T Fox News Digital)

"Did you ask Minnesota Democrats to block the subpoena for the investigation of Feeding Our Future on the state level?" she was asked in the halls of Congress on Monday. No response. She also blew off the follow-up: "Would you cooperate with that subpoena and provide documents if they request it here in the House Oversight Committee?"

After the story ran, Omar's office coughed up a statement to Fox News Digital denying any involvement.

"Any claim that I had knowledge of this scheme is flat-out false," Omar said. "The MEALS Act was signed into law by President Trump and passed with bipartisan support as part of a broader legislative package. Trump’s USDA Secretary set the regulatory framework during the rollout of the program. I have always championed feeding kids and will continue to ensure our children do not go hungry."

Omar continued, "The moment this fraud came to light, I immediately sent a letter to the USDA Secretary demanding answers and accountability. As I stated from the beginning, stealing millions of dollars under the guise of feeding hungry children to bankroll lavish lifestyles and extravagant expenses is reprehensible. I’m grateful that Aimee Bock and every individual involved in this abhorrent scheme are being held accountable for defrauding taxpayers and betraying vulnerable children."

Her MEALS Act, the 2020 COVID relief bill she sponsored, is widely viewed as a key link to the scandal. Republicans argue it supercharged the fraud by fast-tracking USDA waiver authority for meal sites and gutting basic safeguards.

Despite months of dodging questions and refusing to provide information on her documented connections to some of the convicted players, Omar continues to play coy.

The Minnesota House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Committee invited her to testify this month and requested documents related to the scandal. She missed the deadline, which led to a subpoena vote that fell short after Democrats blocked the GOP push. It needed six votes to pass and got only five.

"She didn't even respond, ghosted us," state Rep. Kristin Robbins, chair of the committee, told Fox News Digital back in April. The committee wanted communications showing how Omar pushed expanded access to federal child nutrition programs, including emails, texts, and meeting records with the Minnesota Department of Education and constituents. They also asked about her public promotion of a Minneapolis restaurant later tied to the program, including a Somali-language TV spot where she highlighted Safari Restaurant as a meal site.

Records of contact with Aimee Bock and dozens of other charged or implicated individuals were also requested. Bock, the nonprofit founder, is staring down a possible 50-year prison sentence."A lot of the sites were working directly with her, being that a lot of the operators were from the same Somali community," Bock said about Omar in a recent jailhouse interview with the New York Post. "There were a lot of people that had been reaching out to her office and staff, and I presume her personally, to work through some of those gaps with the waivers."

Just last week, the committee dropped an 84-page report slamming Gov. Tim Walz's administration for creating a "culture of tolerance" that let fraudsters loot billions in taxpayer funds. The findings followed two dozen hearings and hundreds of whistleblower tips about ignored warnings and oversight breakdowns.

An estimated $300 million in federal meal program fraud and up to $9 billion in Medicaid fraud were stolen, according to the report, far higher than initial figures.

It also points directly at Omar's MEALS Act for loosening anti-fraud protections in nutrition programs, making it much tougher to confirm whether kids were actually being fed.

In related news, sources confirm Omar is currently hard at work on new legislation titled the "No Questions Asked Feeding Freedom Act," which would replace all remaining oversight with strongly worded statements and inspirational Instagram posts.

Elise Stefanik Goes Nuclear on Kathy Hochul Over Qatar-Funded Propaganda in NYC Schools

The leftists in New York never sleep when it comes to indoctrinating kids, so why should we?

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and House Oversight leader James Comer (R-KY) are rightfully torching New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-uh) over some seriously shady Qatar-funded curriculum sneaking into Big Apple public schools. We're talking materials backed by the same folks who bankroll Hamas's favorite network, Al Jazeera, and some homegrown radicals who apparently think twisting the truth about 9/11 and the October 7 atrocities is just another day at the office.

The New York City Department of Education is stonewalling like pros, refusing to hand over these "teaching materials" that, according to the GOP duo, blatantly "twist the narratives" around those horrific attacks. Hochul's the only one with the power to force transparency, but surprise — crickets from the governor's mansion.

"The [NYC] DOE has refused to provide copies of teaching materials that twist the narratives of the September 11, 2001, terror attacks and the Hamas-led massacre on October 7, 2023, in Israel," Stefanik and Comer wrote in a letter obtained by the New York Post.

They're zeroing in on a cool $1 million from the Qatar Foundation International dumped into schools like P.S. 261 in Cobble Hill and P.S./I.S. 30 in Bay Ridge. Then there's Bridging Cultures, headed by Dr. Debbie Almontaser of the Muslim Community Network (MCN) fame, an outfit accused of soft-pedaling Islamist terror, fighting funding for the 9/11 Memorial, and smearing anyone who dares point out radical Islam's starring role in the attacks. 

These groups say their workshops on October 7 "erase Israeli suffering," and together they've raked in at least $14.7 million from NYC taxpayers since 2014.

"The NYC DOE partnered with Bridging Cultures to train teachers on how to speak to students about 10/7, the war in Gaza, and the anti-Israel protest movement," Stefanik and Comer said.The lawmakers are demanding contracts, full curriculum copies, and real explanations for cozying up to these partners. Hochul's team? They brushed it off, claiming Stefanik "misunderstand[s] how New York's education system and mayoral control operate." Classic deflection from the "Worst Governor in America" crowd.

This is just the latest salvo in Stefanik's full-court press on Hochul as the 2026 governor's race heats up. She's been hammering Hochul for backing incoming NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, the communist jihadi who just endorsed radical activist Aber Kawas for State Assembly.

"Kathy Hochul endorsed Mamdani and now owns his latest public endorsement of radical activist Aber Kawas for New York State Assembly, a proud terrorist sympathizer and denigrator of the United States," Stefanik said in a statement. "Kawas notoriously blamed America for 9/11 that claimed the lives of thousands of New Yorkers, citing the United States' 'system of capitalism,' 'racism,' 'white supremacy,' and 'Islamophobia' as justification for the terrorist attacks that killed New Yorkers. It is clear that Mamdani owns and controls the Worst Governor in America, Kathy Hochul, as she cowardly remains silent on the anti-American and antisemitic filth spewed by the incoming Mayor and his endorsed candidates. Kathy Hochul must condemn Mamdani's endorsement of Kawas immediately."

Look, if you're letting Qatar, the same regime that hosts Hamas leaders in luxury, fund lessons on 9/11 and October 7 while radicals downplay the horror, you're not educating kids, you're grooming them for the next generation of America-hating protesters. Stefanik's spot-on here: This isn't "diversity" or "inclusion," it's straight-up malign influence, and Hochul owns every bit of it.

The Democrats' obsession with importing foreign cash and far-left nonsense into classrooms is peak insanity. Good on Stefanik and Comer for shining a light on this garbage. New York parents deserve better than having their kids taught to apologize for terrorism.

If you like Brain Flushings and want to Buy Me a Coffee, I would appreciate it, as it supports my work. Obviously, there is no pressure but I certainly wouldn't stop you. Imagine, you could be the first on your block to do that and your friends will thank you . . . for some reason.

Trump team to audit $9,000,000,000 in Harvard grants, contracting anti-Semitism

Harvard University, once a towering beacon of intellectual rigor, now stands trembling at the edge of a self-inflicted abyss, its prestige unraveling like a cheap suit in a storm, or falling away like toilet paper on a shoe.

U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon, a figure whose steely resolve could make even the most sanctimonious progressive squirm, has laid down the gauntlet with devastating precision: “Harvard’s failure to protect students on campus from anti-Semitic discrimination—all while promoting divisive ideologies over free inquiry—has put its reputation in serious jeopardy.” 

And so it has. 

The Trump administration, never one to mince words or dawdle in the face of moral rot, declared on a crisp Monday that it would launch a “comprehensive review” of the $9 billion in federal grants and contracts propping up this faltering Ivy League titan—all because Harvard couldn’t muster the spine to shield its Jewish students from a rising tide of bigotry.

The machinery of accountability is already in motion. A joint task force—comprising the Departments of Education and Health and Human Services, alongside the U.S. General Services Administration—has pledged to dissect “more than $255.6 million in contracts between Harvard University, its affiliates and the federal government,” not to mention “more than $8.7 billion in multi-year grant commitments.” These are numbers so astronomical they could fund a small nation, yet they’ve been squandered on an institution that seems more enamored with ideological posturing than safeguarding its own. 

McMahon, with a clarity that cuts through the fog of academic self-delusion, reflected on Harvard’s legacy: “Harvard has served as a symbol of the American dream for generations—the pinnacle aspiration for students all over the world to work hard and earn admission to the storied institution.” But then came the hammer blow: “Harvard’s failure to protect students on campus from anti-Semitic discrimination—all while promoting divisive ideologies over free inquiry—has put its reputation in serious jeopardy.”

Yet, ever the pragmatist, she offered a lifeline: “Harvard can right these wrongs and restore itself to a campus dedicated to academic excellence and truth-seeking, where all students feel safe on its campus.” A noble sentiment, though one wonders if Harvard’s leadership—steeped in the pieties of the age—has the stomach for such a return to first principles. 

Meanwhile, the announcement pointed to Columbia University, where a similar federal reckoning forced a list of nine Trump administration demands, including a ban on masked protests—an absurdity that should never have needed banning. Columbia’s interim president, caught in the crosshairs of this mess, fled the scene on a Friday, perhaps retreating to ponder the wreckage over a consolatory cup of latte.

The U.S. agencies are not playing games. They’ve signaled they could slap stop-work orders on Harvard’s contracts or, if the university’s noncompliance with federal rules is laid bare, sever the financial umbilical cord entirely. Josh Gruenbaum, commissioner of the Federal Acquisition Service, put it with a firmness that brooks no dissent: “This administration has proven that we will take swift action to hold institutions accountable if they allow antisemitism to fester. We will not hesitate to act if Harvard fails to do so.” Here is a rare instance of government speaking plainly, without the usual varnish of equivocation.

So Harvard stands at a precipice, its fate dangling like a condemned man awaiting the noose. Will it summon the courage to confront its failures, or will it sink further into the morass of cowardice and conformity? The answer lies not in the stars, but in the choices of those who roam its ivy-clad corridors—choices that, for now, seem woefully out of reach.

Especially out of reach for the moral cowards.

Trump administration starts anti-Semitism investigations into 55 universities

Linda McMahon, US Education Secretary

The United States Department of Education (DOE) has unleashed a fusillade against the festering sore of campus anti-Semitism, adding dozens of colleges and universities to its list of institutions facing investigation for civil rights violations. 

This is no mere bureaucratic shuffle, but a reckoning for those elite bastions of learning that have allowed the poison of Jew-hatred to seep into their not so hallowed halls.

“The department is deeply disappointed that Jewish students studying on elite US campuses continue to fear for their safety amid the relentless anti-Semitic eruptions that have severely disrupted campus life for more than a year,” declared Education Secretary Linda McMahon on Monday, her words cutting through the fog of moral equivocation like a blade. “US colleges and universities benefit from enormous public investments funded by US taxpayers. That support is a privilege, and it is contingent on scrupulous adherence to federal anti-discrimination laws.” 

One can almost hear the echoes of a bygone era when such plain speaking was the norm, not the exception.

McMahon named 55 institutions—public and private—in this latest salvo, a roster that includes the likes of Harvard University, Swarthmore College, Drexel University, and Princeton University. These are not new names to those who have tracked the rising tide of anti-Semitic filth lapping at the shores of American academia. 

At Harvard, the rot runs deep. 

Since Hamas’s barbaric invasion of Israel on October 7, 2023, the university has become a grotesque carnival of anti-Semitic excess. Its law school student government issued a resolution falsely accusing Israel of genocide—a libel as old as it is vicious. Students quoted terrorists during an “Apartheid Week” event in April, while dozens of students and faculty joined an illegal pro-Hamas encampment, rubbing shoulders with a group that peddled an anti-Semitic cartoon straight out of Der Stürmer’s playbook. Many openly cheered Hamas’s atrocities—sexual assault, child abduction, the full medieval panoply—while a mob, led by the president of the Harvard Law Review no less, hounded a Jewish student, shrieking “Shame! Shame! Shame!” into his ears. 

Harvard fought like a cornered rat to discredit lawsuits alleging its complicity in this discriminatory cesspit, eventually settling some out of court. But Shabbos Kestenbaum, a graduate of the Harvard Divinity and with a backbone of steel, refused to let the university slink away from accountability. 

Swarthmore College offers its own tableau of disgrace. There, Students for Justice in Palestine stormed Parrish Hall garbed as Hamas fighters, their faces swathed in keffiyehs like latter-day bandits. They bellowed slogans through bullhorns, battered locked doors, and tried to breach offices barricaded against their fury. Their comrades smuggled food past security’s lockdown, while others sparked a physical clash with guards, hurling expletives like shrapnel. The administration finally barred SJP from campus, but only after the damage was done—a belated gesture that reeks of cowardice.

Drexel University in Philadelphia saw its own “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” in May, a spectacle so overrun with outsiders that the campus had to be locked down. Weeks earlier, the Raymond G. Perelman Center for Jewish Life was defaced by cowardly masked vandals who tore away letters spelling out Perelman’s name—an act of petty spite amid a broader surge of antisemitic hate crimes across the nation.

Then there’s Princeton, where the Department of Near Eastern Studies peddles a book accusing the Israel Defense Forces of “maiming” Palestinians and harvesting their organs. This is not scholarship; it is blood libel dressed up as academic inquiry, a sinister echo of medieval anti-Semitic tropes. The International Legal Forum rightly called it out for what it is: a conspiratorial smear designed to inflame hatred.

The Trump administration, since taking office in January, has moved with a speed and decisiveness that shames its predecessors. On Friday, it yanked $400 million in funding from Columbia University, a sharp rebuke to a school accused of sheltering antisemitic faculty, students, and staff. Before that, President Trump issued an executive order that promises to wield “all appropriate legal tools to prosecute, remove, or otherwise … hold to account perpetrators of unlawful antisemitic harassment and violence.” 

One provision targets “alien” student extremists for deportation—those who have lent intellectual and material succor to groups like Hamas, fueling the campus chaos. A federal judge in Manhattan has stalled this in one case, involving a Columbia alumnus nabbed by ICE for orchestrating the Hamilton Hall takeover last spring. 

If you would like to support my work, you can Buy Me A Coffee. Thank you.

Trump, unbowed, took to Truth Social: “This is the first of many to come. We know there are more students at Columbia and other universities across the country who have engaged in pro-terrorist, antisemitism, anti-American activity, and the Trump Administration will not tolerate it. Many are not students, they are paid agitators. We will find, apprehend, and deport these terrorist sympathizers from our country—never to return again.”

Here is a government that grasps what the chattering classes refuse to see: that this is not a matter of hurt feelings or academic squabbles, but a civilizational struggle against those who would cheer the slaughter of innocents and call it justice. The universities, bloated with taxpayer largesse, have had their day of reckoning deferred too long. Let it come now, and let it be thorough.

Thomas Massie introduces bill to ditch Dept. of Education

One of the biggest wastes of taxpayer money, (besides everything beyond infrastructure, law enforcement and defense) is the Department of Education. It takes away local control of what is being taught in the classroom and does not serve to actually educate our children. 

What this department actually does is indoctrinate the latest woke craze and turn the children into little lefty future Marxists. It's also the government's way of patting themselves on the shoulder while pretending to be doing something positive for the kids. And COVID-19 showed us their true colors as it was blatantly obvious that the Department of Education was not for the children, but for the teachers and staffing.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) believes the Department of Education needs to go, and he is exactly right.

On Wednesday Massie announced on X that he introduced H.R. 899, a bill that would obliterate the DoE, which is pronounced much like Homer Simpson's "D-oh," as well it should be. 

"I introduced a bill to end the Department of Education," Massie posted. "We must return the money and authority back to states, school districts, teachers, and parents before it’s too late."

I introduced a bill to end the Department of Education.

We must return the money and authority back to states, school districts, teachers, and parents before it’s too late. pic.twitter.com/XQ2rNpNtSs— Thomas Massie (@RepThomasMassie) February 21, 2024

On Massie's website, the congressman goes into further detail and quotes former President Ronald Reagan who also wanted to collapse the Department of Education:

"Unelected bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. should not be in charge of our children’s intellectual and moral development. States and local communities are best positioned to shape curricula that meet the needs of their students. Schools should be accountable. Parents have the right to choose the most appropriate educational opportunity for their children, including home school, public school, or private school."

The DoE spends a crazy amount of money but of late has been reduced to spending $274 billion in 2023 from $638 billion the previous year. While that's a significant decrease, it's still more than the GDP of many small nations. Palau's 2021 GDP was about $324 million, not billion. Kiribati's GDP for the same year was $220 million. I'm not a math maven but I believe $324 million is even less than $1 billion.

It used to be said that cocaine was G-d's way of telling you that you're making too much money. Now it His way of saying we're financing a government department we don't even need. And the worst part is that the DoE breeds radicals who in turn bring in far left programs to the schools such as Critical Race Theory, "The 1619 Project," intersectionality, and LGBTQ curriculum. 

In September of last year, the DoE decided to investigate author and educator Christopher Rufo for "misgendering" a DEI director at New College of Florida.

"Misgendering" happens when you notice the person you're speaking to or about is a male or female based on their biological characteristics rather than their delusions.

Massie has it right: the DoE is a waste of time, money, and needs to go away for good.

Cops find woman designer's stolen fashions in ex-Biden nuclear waste official, Sam Brinton's home

They, them, bow wow

Police executed a search warrant at  ex-Department of Energy (DOE) official Sam Brinton's residence and low and behold, they found clothing created by Asya Khamsin, a Tanzanian fashion designer that had been missing for years.

[Fox News broke this story]

The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Police Department (MWAA--pronounced like an exaggerated kiss) confirmed the clothes were returned to Ms. Khamsin. She alleged that Brinton publicly wore the clothing she had designed but was missing along with her bag at Ronald Reagan National Airport. 

MWAA executed a search warrant in connection with the case at Brinton's Maryland residence in May.

"The MWAA Police Department can confirm we returned the victim’s property and police retained photos of the evidence for prosecution," MWAA spokesperson Crystal Nosal told Fox News Digital in a statement Tuesday. "The case is still under adjudication and we cannot release more detailed information."

A few weeks after the search warrant was executed, Brinton [they, them, thus, thoop, bow wow] was charged with a felony grand larceny of items valued more than $1,000. The preliminary hearing in the case, which was filed in Arlington General District Court, has been delayed until December.

In February, approximately the same time that MWAA Police learned about Brinton's alleged theft at Ronald Reagan National Airport, Khamsin was interviewed by Fox News Digital and said that she had seen photos in news articles in which Brinton appeared to be in drag with her custom designs. She said she had packed the same clothing in a bag that vanished at the airport on March 9, 2018.

"I saw the images. Those were my custom designs, which were lost in that bag in 2018," she told Fox News Digital at the time. "He wore my clothes, which was stolen."

Khamsin said she flew to Washington, D.C. to a scheduled event where she was invited to display her clothing but the missing bag prevented her from participating at the event. She then filed a report with the MWAA and Delta Air Lines but the case went cold.

However, after viewing photos of Brinton and reports that them had allegedly stolen other luggage from airport baggage carousels, she filed a report with Houston police where she lives. The Houston police referred the case to the trustworthy FBI.

"The MWAA returned to Asya Khamsin various parcels of retrieved clothing after the search warrant was executed. These items were returned in sealed evidence bags," Peter Hansen, a Washington, D.C.-based attorney representing the woman, told Fox News Digital in an email Tuesday.

In addition, Ms. Khamsin filed a civil suit related to the theft against they, them, bow wow on Friday.

Brinton was the first human dog sex enthusiast appointed to oversee nuclear waste policy at the Department of Energy's Office of Nuclear Energy. They, them, bow wow is a non-binary, gender-fluid, cross-dressing, left of center, bald-headed, gay, former Biden appointee and for that reason has escaped jail time.

Brinton faced up to 15 years total for the two alleged thefts. However, in both cases, the presiding judges ruled jail time wasn't necessary.

The DOE on Dec. 12 announced that Brinton had left the agency, but wouldn't comment on the reason for the departure.

Dept. of Energy wants to crack down on more of your stuff

Frau Jennifer Granholm: the inspiration of cold showers

The Department of Energy is planning yet another crackdown on the things that you have in your home or for your personal use. It has gone from incandescent lightbulbs to gas stoves to gasoline cars and now to hot water heaters. What's next, soap?

The fascistic DOE announced their plan on Friday to crack down on home hot water heaters because grabbing power instead of releasing it, is how these tyrants roll. It's all part of a string of proposed rules from whoever is running the Biden administration to take away your right to buy appliances for your home or the type of vehicle you want to drive, in their effort to limit your consumer power.

So they hope to tighten requirements for water heaters, stating that “most common-sized electric water heaters to achieve efficiency gains with heat pump technology and gas-fired instantaneous water heaters to achieve efficiency gains through condensing technology,” according to the DOE's press release. 

This administration, and whoever is calling the shots because it isn't Joe Biden, is forcing their will upon us while using climate change fears as their cause for doing this to us. They say it will save us $11 billion yearly on utility bills and $198 billion over a thirty year period. The DOE also says it would also reduce greenhouse gas emissions by about 500 million tons during the same period, and even millions and millions more if a-holes like John Kerry, Pete Buttigieg and many senators refrain from using private jets or forcing military planes to haul their fat butts all over the globe so that they can pretend to care about the environment.

“Today’s actions — together with our industry partners and stakeholders — improve outdated efficiency standards for common household appliances, which is essential to slashing utility bills for American families and cutting harmful carbon emissions,” Energy Secretary, Frau Jennifer Granholm said in a statement.

“This proposal reinforces the trajectory of consumer savings that forms the key pillar of Bidenomics and builds on the unprecedented actions already taken by this Administration to lower energy costs for working families across the nation,” she added.

While DOE said the proposed standards would “accelerate deployment” of electric heat pump water heaters, Fox News reported they would force cheaper gas heaters off the market. The news outlet noted that non-condensing gas-fired heaters are cheaper, having a smaller size and lower installation costs.

The three words Rep. Tom Massie (R-KY) told the Biden administration were: "Leave us alone." This is a sentiment that sums it up perfectly.

Gender confused ex-Biden guy Sam Brinton was on secret trip when he stole luggage and jewelry

Fox News reported that ex-Biden employee Sam ["The Something"] Brinton, a confused and embattled lipstick and dress wearing former senior Department of Energy official, had been traveling on the taxpayer's dime on a business trip when he stole a high-profile baggage last year, internal Biden administration documents show.

Brinton was traveling in early July 2022 to the DOE Nevada National Security Site near Las Vegas, according to internal filings and expense reports by the DOE. A watchdog group Functional Government Initiative (FGI) shared this with Fox News Digital.

Brinton flew on a United Airlines commercial flight from Washington, D.C., to Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas on July 6, 2022, the documents showed.

In early December, Las Vegas prosecutors charged the gender confused Brinton with grand larceny of an item valued between $1,200 and $5,000. After viewing video of the incident, police accused the ex-Biden official of stealing a suitcase with a total estimated worth of $3,670 at Harry Reid International Airport on July 6, 2022, the same day Brinton traveled to Las Vegas on official DOE business.

The stolen bag contained jewelry valued at $1,700, clothing worth $850 and makeup valued at $500.

"It’s outrageous that tax dollars transported Brinton to and from the scene of a crime, putting the American public unwittingly at the wheel of the getaway car," FGI spokesperson Peter McGinnis said in a statement to Fox News Digital. 

It may be outrageous, but it's also as funny as hell. The Biden administration only hired this clown for diversity and identity politics. This is a guy seen in a dress in photos leading another guy dressed as a dog, on a leash. He almost makes Kamala Hahaharris look okay, but just almost.

"The federal government obviously needs a more stringent vetting process for senior-level positions," McGinnis added. "Senior officials committing petty crime while on the clock is a clear indication that something is dysfunctional in the personnel procedures."

Yes, maybe they should hire based on ability, not identity like they do, as in the case of Karine Jean-Pierre, a black lesbian woman who is incompetent and angry when people ask her hard questions.

In addition to arriving on July 6, 2022, Brinton stayed at the Hilton Grand Vacations Club on the Las Vegas Strip and departed on July 9, 2022. Overall, the total cost of the four-day trip was estimated to be $1,951.50, a DOE expense report filed in August 2022 showed.

The DOE didn't respond to a request for comment on the purpose of Brinton's trip because they are taking their lead from the Biden administration.

Brinton, like most Democrats hired by the Biden administration, did not spend any time in jail in the grand larceny case. He pleaded no contest in that effeminate voice he has, and had to pay $3670.74 to the victim in the case, and $500 in additional fees including a criminal fine and Clark County Judge Ann Zimmerman handed Brinton a 180-day suspended jail sentence, a sentence that doesn't need to be served, and ordered the mentally ill Brinton to "stay out of trouble."

Due to his proximity to the Biden administration, like Hunter Biden, Brinton also escaped jail time in a separate case involving the theft of a baggage worth a total of $2,325 from the luggage carousel at the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport on Sept. 16.

And Brinton was arrested yet again in May, in relation to another baggage theft, this time stemming from a 2018 incident at the Washington, D.C.-area Reagan National Airport.

I believe that after three counts of baggage theft, Brinton should be made to work the unloading of airline baggage for no less than three years at Ronald Reagan International Airport. The name of the airport itself should teach him a lesson.

Brinton was gone by December but the DOE was mute as to whether they canned him or he canned himself.

And this is a lunatic with a top level security clearance.

Then again, so is Joe Biden.

More than 2 dozen Dems join GOP in opposing Biden gas stove ban

The House of Representatives approved an amendment late Wednesday that prevents the Department of Energy (DOE) from implementing crazy new regulations on gas stoves that are virtually impossible to comply with and thus end their use. Fortunately, the GOP had help from over two dozen Democrats who understand how crazy is the concept.

The House vote 251 to 181 in favor of GOP Rep. Gary Palmer's (AL) amendment to a larger energy policy bill. Twenty-nine Democrats voted with the Republicans.

If the Biden administration had their way, only the Bidens and his administration would have gas stoves.

This had been a problem for the GOP ever since the Consumer Product Safety Commission suddenly decided that gas stoves presented health concerns. The idea although scrapped was soon followed by the DOE proposed regulation that would make the standards nearly impossible to reach and effectively ban most gas stoves.

Rep. Palmer heads the House Republican Policy Committee. He criticized his Democrat colleagues for mostly voting against his amendment in an interview with Fox News Digital.

"Despite all their words to the contrary, House Democrats are supportive of federal bureaucrats’ attempts to ban gas stoves. By voting against my amendment to prevent the Department of Energy from implementing its anti-natural gas agenda, they have shown themselves to be complicit," Palmer told the outlet.

"Clearly, the plan to ban gas stoves was already in the works even before federal bureaucrats said the quiet part out loud earlier this year," he said. "Republicans are meeting this attempt to dismantle American energy head on and will continue to empower Americans to choose what appliances belong in their kitchens, not have it dictated to them by a bureaucrat with a political agenda."

This is because the left is comprised of power hungry control freaks who want the ability to run our lives.

In a proposed rule posted online last month and a follow-up analysis of that rule, the department estimated that about half of the gas stoves on the market today would not meet the new standard. And even in those cases, nobody is getting sick from the stoves.

Palmer’s amendment, if implemented contingent on Republicans’ energy bill’s passage, will stop DOE Secretary Jennifer Granholm who ironically owns a gas stove, from implementing the new regulations and would prevent similar rules from being introduced.

About 38% of American households, or roughly 40 million, use natural gas to cook in their homes and as far as the Biden administration is concerned, they can go to hell--I'm not joking, man.

Two similar bills to halt the rule’s implementation were introduced by House Republicans earlier this month.

Push your local legislatures to support the ban on the ban, because if you ain't cookin' with gas, you might be doing it wrong.

DeSantis vs. Weingarten on Twitter over "book banning" lies

It's suspected that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) will run in the 2024 presidential primary where he will face off with former President Donald Trump. There's no question amongst GOPers that he would make a good, if not great candidate but Trump's popularity in the party is quite high so that would be a high hurdle for DeSantis to get over.

Anyway, the governor has been accused by liars and the low information left, that DeSantis lied about his anti-woke school policies, which, I repeat, are simply not true.

The head of America's Federation of Teachers, the second largest teacher's union in the country, is the woke Randi Weingarten. She shared a video of DeSantis who claims that the mainstream [i.e., left leaning] media is perpetuating a "hoax" by statoing that his Florida's public school policies constitute book banning.

Sleepy-face Weingarten suggested that DeSantis was lying and covering up the fact that indeed, book banning was taking place in the Sunshine State. She showed the video on Saturday consisting of a clip of DeSantis defending Florida's Department of Education (DOE) decision to pull explicit LGBTQ material from libraries that "10 year-olds can access." Somehow the Left believes that children should be able to access that information, just like the Left believes kids should be allowed to "transition" to the opposite gender without telling their parents.

The video clip cites Florida "standards" that permit the state DOE the power to do such a removal of that material, and expressed the governor's belief that "99% of parents" would agree with such a measure by removing those books from children's library shelves if they didn't believe the media that misleads them.

The way the media has attacked DeSantis is to imply that he wants to ban all books that are disagreeable to conservatives. This, of course, is nonsense. He was very clear in his messaging and only wanted specifically 'woke' books that are not appropriate for children to be removed from the shelves. But he noted that the mainstream media has characterized such a move as "book banning," and calls this a "book ban hoax."

DeSantis also mentioned how MSNBC made the claim that the Florida DOE forced a public school African Studies class to drop its woke agenda, characterizing this as the DeSantis administration "outlawing the study of slavery." More nonsense which he blasted as false, "Well if you actually looked at what our standards are, not only is it not prohibited, it’s required to teach that."

But Weingarten never lets facts interfere with her messaging. She commented on the video that DeSantis is lying about what he's doing, as her own teacher's union shovels millions to the DNC.

The union boss tweeted:

"[Question]: Did Fla teachers complain of book banning before DeSantis started his ‘anti woke’ crusade? Did we see pictures of tarps over classroom libraries? Were teachers threatened with felonies if they used the ‘wrong’ book? [Answer]: No. Now that he is being exposed. Now it’s a hoax."

But Weingarten removed the ability for users to reply directly to her post. Though prominent members of DeSantis’ staff, along with other conservative users were quick to call out Weingarten via retweet, accusing her of perpetuating the false narrative that DeSantis is embarking on a right-wing book-banning crusade. 

This only proves Weingarten is not very social media savvy. 

DeSantis Transition Team Co-Chair Scott Wagner went after Weingarten’s post, tweeting:

 "1. @GovRonDeSantis empowered parents to complain about porn in school books. 2. Teacher unions put tarps so they don’t have to face reality. 3. Any adult for decades is subject to felony for showing pornography to children. 4. Turning off replies is the move of a coward."

At least when Joe Biden tweets, he doesn't disable replies to the posts, but it's also possible he forgot to do that.

DeSantis Press Secretary Bryan Griffin slammed the union boss, tweeting:

"And yet, the law that criminalizes the distribution of pornography to minors has been on the books for decades. It's as if there's a national group of activists who claim to be for education but instead amplify fake scenarios and false narratives for political gain."

DeSantis Deputy Press Secretary Jeremy Redfern shared a screenshot of drawings from one of the explicit books Weingarten accused DeSantis of banning. He captioned the inappropriate drawings, saying, "This is the type of book that Randi wants to provide to your elementary-aged child."

Journalist Jim Treacher turned Weingarten’s point around on her, replying, "Did they complain about book banning before you started falsely claiming this is book banning?

But the pithiest response was by Brendon Leslie, founder of local news outlet, Florida’s Voice News, who asked, "Why does the teachers union want to keep pornographic books in our schools?"

Maybe because it's yet another way the Left can make the rules and grab the power. Boys can be girls. Girls can be boys. People can be plural in their pronouns. Socialism is the new black.

The far left is mentally ill.

UPDATE: NYC teachers may stage "sickout" mutiny over de Blasio's refusal to close schools

Michael Mulgrew and Comrade de Blasio

UPDATE: Bowing to pressure from teachers and parents, the incompetent Mayor Bill de Blasio, has agreed to shutter public schools by Tuesday or Wednesday and keep them closed tentatively until at least April 20th, [crap weasel Adolf Hitler's birthday].

A number of New York City teachers are calling for “mass sickout” mutiny in defiance of Communist Mayor Bill de Blasio’s empty-headed refusal to close public schools to stem the coronavirus outbreak.

All Catholic elementary schools will be closed, because these schools are not run by the government that is headed by blockheads like de Blasio.

Now you can understand why this pea-brain didn't get even a tiny foothold in the 2020 Democratic campaign bid for president. Nobody likes him in the city.

There have been social media calls for a revolt and anxious teachers are conferring with colleagues about taking drastic action to protect themselves and their families from the coronavirus, now that the news media speaks of little else.

“We’ve talked about it,” one teacher told The New York Post. He added that his union chapter is holding a meeting on Monday to vote whether to join the sickout. “Other teachers I know have said they will call out.

MORE-UFT, a faction of the teacher’s union, blasted de Blasio for ignoring warnings that keeping schools open puts students and staff at risk.

“Because of this irresponsibility, teachers will need to take action to protect the health of our students and their families by calling in sick on Monday,” said a bulletin sent to members Saturday.

By "irresponsibility," they mean de Blasio's blatant stupidity.

Success Academy, which teaches 18,000 students across 45 schools in the city, will shut down completely and move to online learning until this crisis is assuaged. Other charter schools, which are privately run and don't depend on cretins like Bill de Blasio to make their decisions for them, will also shut down and revert to online learning.

Teachers’ union president Michael Mulgrew, City Council Speaker Corey Johnson and City Comptroller Scott Stringer have called on the Department of Education to shutter schools for now, but continue to distribute meals to children with irresponsible or lazy parents, and provide online academics.

Already, amid mounting demands that the city close schools to stem the spread of infection, a growing number of teachers are staying out.

On average, as least 3,100 teachers a day, or 3.9 percent of the system’s 79,000 teachers, freaked out and shunned school last week, the city Department of Education said Friday.

A DOE spokeswomen could not give the teacher absenteeism rate for Friday — when student attendance plummeted to 68%, down from 89% on Monday.

However, the number is likely to skyrocket because teachers can enter absences into the attendance system days after they are out.

On Saturday, Mayor de Blasio stuck to his guns, while sticking his head up into the deep recesses of his nether regions, about keeping schools open.

Closure would cause “a cascading effect,” negatively impacting the subways and hospitals because "the collective" would stay home with their kids, Comrade de Blasio predicted.

Hizzoner said that hundreds of thousands of teenagers would be left unsupervised, and could be unsafe or get in trouble on the street, but added that they should still be allowed to vote at 16.

Sources told The Post that several teachers at PS 107 in Park Slope — where a parent tested positive for coronavirus and my friend Anthony gives great haircuts at his Court Street shop — did not come to work Friday and student attendance plunged.

NYC teachers get 10 paid sick days where they can 'veg out' and a doctor’s note isn’t necessary.

Some parents are angry that schools remain open. The father of a Brooklyn Technical High School student ["Wreck Tech!"] said his son’s friend attended school all week — before learning his dad had tested positive for the coronavirus, aka COVID-19.

After notifying the school Thursday, administrators simply told him to self-quarantine for two weeks. And these are the people in charge of teaching the future of our nation!

Meanwhile, the DOE confirmed that a student who attends IS 27 in Staten Island has tested positive for COVID-19.

“The student was not in school while symptomatic,” said spokeswoman Miranda Barbot, who apparently knows as much about virology as a worm knows about algebra.

The building is being “deep-cleaned,” she said. “We expect it to be open on Monday, pending Health Department confirmation.”

Let's all pray for the parents and especially the grandparents of the NYC public school students.

But hey, New York City keeps electing leftists like Bill de Blasio. The reaped what they sowed.
