Somali fraud in MN under Tampon Tim now $7B worse and growing

"Show me the money"

Hey guys, Minnesota was always known as the state of 10,000 lakes, but now, under Tampon Tim Walz, it has become the state of 10,000 fraudsters. The latest tab has now hit over eight billion dollars! 

Let's recap this slow-motion train wreck. 

First we had the $250 million Feeding Our Future scam, where "nonprofits" were supposedly feeding starving kids but were actually buying Lamborghinis and lake houses. Then City Journal drops the bomb that Somali-linked grifters have been looting the Medicaid Housing Stabilization Services program like it's an ATM, and, oh by the way, allegedly wiring millions of those dollars straight to Al-Shabaab terrorists in East Africa. Merry Christmas from Minneapolis. Oh wait--happy Ramadan.

But there's more! Fox News now says the real number isn't one billion. It isn't two billion. Whistleblowers are telling Congress it could top eight billion dollars when all the receipts are in."Fraud investigators are finding in Minnesota is growing by the day," Fox News National Correspondent Garrett Tenney reported. "Kelly Loeffler, who leads the Small Business Administration, says in the two days her agency has been investigating the state, they've uncovered at least $1 million in PPP fraud." And whistleblowers say the grand total "could total up to more than $8 billion."

Meanwhile, Governor Jazz Hands is out there doing his best aw-shucks routine, pretending everything's fine because Minnesota still ranks high in "happiness" or ignorance is bliss, or whatever nonsense metric he's clinging to.

"And in spite of the headwinds we're up against, Minnesota ranks economically, economic growth, happiness, number of people insured, education levels near the very top," Walz bragged to reporters, conveniently forgetting to subtract the eight billion that just walked out the door, and especially failing to mention where it went.

Then he tried the tough-guy act: "If folks are going to commit crimes here, thinking because our generous spirit and our programs that we have is going to give them some kind of cover, they are sadly mistaken."

Translation: After we've already handed terrorists and fraudsters the keys to the treasury for six years, now, now we’re gonna get serious, guys. Pinky swear.

And of course, no Minnesota scandal would be complete without everyone's favorite America-last congresswoman, Ilhan Omar, whose district just happens to be ground zero for a lot of this. 

When Jake Tapper actually pressed her on it, she gave the most Ilhan Omar answer imaginable:"I think what happened, um, is that, you know, when you have these, kind of new programs that are, um, designed to help people, you're oftentimes relying on third parties to be able to facilitate," Omar stammered. "And I just think that a lot of the COVID programs that were set up, they were set up so quickly that a lot of the guardrails did not get created."

Right. Because nothing says "we had no choice" like allowing billions to vanish into the hands of people who hate America while you look the other way for years.

Tim Walz spent the campaign telling us he's just a friendly Midwest dad who loves flannel and hotdish. Turns out he's the guy who turned Minnesota into the world's most generous terrorist GoFundMe while pretending none of it was happening.

Eight billion dollars. Gone. And these people want you to put them in charge of the entire country. 

Hard pass.

Another Day, Another CARES Act Grifter Gets the Federal Kick in the Butt

Meet Ernest X. Taylor, Jr., 41, of Laplace, Louisiana, a man who looked at the trillions of dollars Congress was flinging out the window during COVID and thought, "You know what this needs . . .  more fraud. Specifically, MY fraud."

On October 29, 2025, Taylor was sentenced to 84 months of government-funded room and board courtesy of the Bureau of Prisons. 

See, Ernie decided that when the PPP application asked, "Have you been convicted of a felony involving fraud, bribery, embezzlement, or a false statement in a loan application or an application for federal financial assistance within the last five years?" the correct answer was yes, he absolutely had been. 

Back in 2016 he admitted to conspiracy to commit federal student loan fraud and mail fraud using stolen identities. But hey, details, right?

Court documents say that Taylor made false statements to an approved lender on or about March 2, 2021, for the purpose of fraudulently obtaining a PPP loan. Taylor falsely claimed in his PPP application that he had not been convicted of a felony involving "fraud, bribery, embezzlement, or a false statement in a loan application or an application for federal financial assistance" within the last 5 years.

Obviously, the dude lied like a Biden press secretary, pocketed roughly $18,500 on the first go-round, then, because why not, then he lied again a month later and grabbed another $18,500 with the second-draw PPP loan.

Total haul: $37,000 of your tax dollars and mine, all because the honor system and "trust but verify" apparently went out the window faster than common sense in 2020.

In addition to seven years of learning new and exciting prison hobbies, Taylor gets five years of supervised release and a $100 “you’re a moron” fee. Acting U.S. Attorney Michael M. Simpson – clearly one of the adults still left in the room – praised the Secret Service for actually doing their job on this one.

And because nothing says "2020-2025 federal government" quite like incompetence layered on top of incompetence, this case apparently happened way back when but only surfaced now because of "the longest federal government shutdown in history." Yeah, because when you're handing out trillions with the oversight rigor of a drunk sailor on shore leave, the last thing you want is pesky prosecutors actually prosecuting.

Moral of the story is that when the government decides to play Santa Claus with printed money, the Ernest X. Taylors of the world will line up with their fake beards and sacks marked "swag." Simply shocking.

Enjoy those 84 months, Ernie. Try not to apply for any prison commissary loans--your credit history's looking a little… sketchy.

Student test scores lower than whale poop

Well, folks, the Nation's Report Card just flunked America’s kids yet again. The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), the academic yardstick we've been using for decades to measure how our students stack up, dropped its latest bombshell Tuesday, and it's a doozy. 

Math and reading scores for 12th-graders have hit rock bottom, plumbing new depths of educational despair. And no, this isn’t some post-COVID hangover; the slide started years before the WuFlu turned classrooms into Zoom nightmares.

"Scores for 12th-graders in math and reading continued their years-long slide, reaching new lows on national tests, new data released Tuesday shows." 

Yes, the numbers are uglier than a public school lunch menu. The decline was already in motion pre-pandemic, but policymakers were crossing their fingers for a 2024 rebound. Spoiler alert: they got a face full of failure instead. "Average scores fell to their lowest levels since the current versions of these tests were first administered in both math and reading, as did scores for the lowest-performing students."

The NAEP sorts kids into three buckets: proficient, basic, and below basic. Guess which one's getting crowded? "The number of students scoring below basic has increased," and it isn't just a blip. In reading, the 2024 average score was the lowest since the test kicked off in 1992. A whopping "32 percent of high school seniors scored below 'basic,'" which means they can't even pick out details in a text to figure out what it's saying. 

Math was even worse. The average score is the lowest since 2005, with "45% of high school seniors" flunking the "basic" mark, highest percentage in two decades. Only 33% are ready for college-level math, down from 37% in 2019. But I bet students understand terms about what a gender-fluid, two-spirited, non-binary person is.

Here’s the kicker: the bright kids at the top? Untouched. "Students at the very top have not seen their scores decline at all but students near the bottom have seen their scores collapse." For a decade, the floor's been caving in on low performers, while the 90th-percentile kids keep sipping their intellectual lattes, unfazed. Lesley Muldoon, NAEP's head honcho, put it bluntly: "The test scores show more students are not reaching what would be considered ‘basic’ achievement across subject areas." She insists "proficient" isn't an impossible bar, but when nearly half your seniors can't hit "basic" in math, maybe it's time to rethink what's "reasonable."

By the way, it isn't just high schoolers. Eighth-grade science scores tanked too, with "38 percent of students scoring below the basic level, compared with 33 percent in 2019." At this rate, we'll be lucky if these kids can spell "science" by graduation.

So, what's the culprit? Remote learning during the pandemic sure didn't help, especially for the kids already scraping the bottom. But this nosedive started five or six years before COVID. Enter the usual suspect: screens. 

D. Graham Burnett, a Princeton science historian, nailed it: "With the ubiquity of screens, it seems inevitable that in the future, fewer people will engage with lengthy texts." He's hopeful the "cultural inheritance" of books can survive through speech or memorization, but good luck convincing a TikTok-addled teen to memorize anything longer than a 15-second dance routine.

The comments section on this story is a goldmine of real talk. A high school teacher with 25 years in the trenches laid it bare: "This is not entirely pandemic related. Educators have been witnessing a massive academic decay over the past 10-15 years. This slide in academic and emotional maturity correlates to the gaining impacts and interactions with cell phone technologies and streaming tv services." Kids aren't curious anymore, he says. They don't read, don't see adults reading (actual books, not screens), and are "widely ill-informed" unless a TikTok influencer spoon-feeds them. They can't sit still, crave constant validation, and "crumble or walk away at the slightest hint of friction or difficulties." He said, "The focus required to allow an author to unfold a narrative is an endangered quality."

A recent high school grad chimed in, echoing the same grim truth: "We are so susceptible to whatever is said on TikTok. For some reason, people will believe anything said with enough conviction." 

Motivation is in the gutter too. Why bother when college grads are slinging burgers under a mountain of debt? Add in "lack of focus" (blame the screen-fried brains and questionable ADHD diagnoses) and a system that passes kids who do zilch. "I remember in my geometry class a boy never did a single assignment," the grad wrote. "He only took the tests and routinely did poorly. However, his parents caused a fuss and he was given a high enough grade to move onto the next class." 

Look, screens and social media aren't the devil for everyone; top students seem to handle them fine. But for the kids at the bottom, swapping math homework for hours of TikTok doom-scrolling is a one-way ticket to academic oblivion. Maybe it's time we admit that "scrolling" isn't a subject, and "basic" shouldn't be a pipe dream.

If you like my blog and want to Buy Me A Coffee, I wouldn't stop you--it supports my work and I really appreciate it. But no pressure.

President Trump to sign EO to dismantle the Dept. of Education

While COVID basically ended the education of students for several years so that teachers could catch a break from teaching, TRUMP is expected to sign an executive order ending the Department of Education that supported the teachers over the kids. This is a move that will fulfill one of his main promises made on the campaign trail.

A summary of the order in USA Today shows that it directs Education Secretary Linda McMahon to take “all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Department of Education and return education authority to the States.”

But make no. mistake; the order clearly directs the “uninterrupted delivery of services, programs, and benefits on which Americans rely.”

McMahon was confirmed as Education Secretary earlier this month, but Trump previously said he hoped she would put herself “out of a job.” The good news is she doesn't need the money.

A number of Republican governors, advocates for parental rights in education, and others are expected to be at the signing on Thursday. Trump's promise to close the DoE was met with cheers when he campaigned on the issue.

“I say it all the time, I’m dying to get back to do this. We will ultimately eliminate the federal Department of Education,” Trump said at a September rally in Wisconsin. “We will drain the government education swamp and stop the abuse of your taxpayer dollars to indoctrinate America’s youth with all sorts of things that you don’t want to have our youth hearing.”

No longer will children face learning loss over the cowardice of the DoE nor will gender identity changes and Critical Race Theory be pushed into their developing minds. Parents will no longer be kept in the dark about their child's education.

The department has already thus far eliminated about half its staff and recently terminated more than $600,000,000 in grants for training teachers in "divisive ideologies" such as anti-racism, social justice activism, and hiring teachers based on race rather than merit.

What a concept.

The order “will empower parents, states, and communities to take control and improve outcomes for all students,” Harrison Fields, White House principal deputy press secretary, said in a statement, adding that recent test scores from the National Assessment of Educational Progress exam “reveal a national crisis ‒ our children are falling behind.”

The U.S. ranked 34th in mathematics with an average score of 465 (on a scale from 0 to 1,000), which is below the OECD average of 472. Top performers like Singapore (575), Hong Kong (540), and Japan (536) significantly outpace the U.S., representing a gap of roughly two to three years of schooling. Notably, about 30% of U.S. students scored below Level 2, considered the baseline for basic proficiency, compared to just 8% in Singapore.

Reading scores placed our students in 12th position, somewhat better than math, but not so great when it comes to "bang of our buck" spent on American education.

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

President Jimmy Carter established the useless Department of Education in 1979, and while it would require an act of Congress to totally eliminate it, Trump's executive order is slated to dismantle the department for now.

Trump’s order will certainly face legal challenges from critics like teachers’ unions, who are more concerned about themselves rather than the children, and have been clear that they want the DoE to stay so they can play at being educators of the American young.

Our alleged president tries to explain 'Bidenomics' as only a houseplant could

If somehow it was possible to donate at least half a brain to our so called President Joe Biden, he would be known as a half-wit. Everyone knows that he no longer operates on a functioning cerebral cortex as his dementia is not only obvious, but has become embarrassing to the Democrats and most of the media.

Biden's handler[s] seem to believe that the American public is stupid, thinking we don't see it, but as Trump might say, 'it's all over the place.'

His team believes the only problem with Babbling Biden is simply the messaging, not the messenger, and if those damn conservative understood his policies better, we would 'get it.' We would see how splendid "his plans" are and we'd all hold hands and sing Kumbaya. 

But they are wrong--we understand the plans and policies because they affect our income and our quality of life in myriad ways. They cost us hundreds of dollars each month and by one count, $709 more a month. Make no mistake about it--we know the price of eggs and bread, even while leftists like Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) shows off her $12 pint of ice cream in her $24,000 freezer. We know and we remember.

Here's the joke: the Biden regime sent Joe out with a whiteboard (à la Carl Rove) on X, to explain to us dummies just how "Bidenomics" works and why it's better than unicorns farting rainbows.

"I came to office determined to change the economic direction of this country and to move from trickle-down economics to my middle out, bottom up vision: "Bidenomics," the venal houseplant slurred and forgetting to actually write it on the whiteboard as they're flashing words on it to help him as he obviously and poorly reads from a script, barely able to pronounce the words "trickle down economics."

I came to office determined to change the economic direction of this country and to move from trickle-down economics to my middle out, bottom up vision:

Bidenomics. pic.twitter.com/kvOz81iGSO— President Biden (@POTUS) August 25, 2023

Watch how someone hands Biden a green Sharpie but he never actually uses it other than to check boxes next to points he read off from his script. Notice how his voice fades off at the end of sentences and sounding like his battery is running low.

The Biden regime has to lie about the economy because if they told the truth, the Democrats would get slaughtered in the next election cycle and many more after that. They use the term "trickle-down economics" because it was how they attacked President Reagan and now want us to forget the economy during President Trump's first term. Inflation and unemployment were low and we were energy independent,

And the Biden regime didn't create 13 million jobs--they recycled them after they were lost during the forced COVID lockdowns. Wages did not increase under Biden, they fell 2.6% and manufacturing also slowed down significantly.

His blather about the middle class is a lie with the exact opposite being true. Costs for goods and services climbed hundreds of dollars every month--how does that help anyone, including the middle class?

Obama was right about Biden when he said, "Don't underestimate Joe's ability to f*** things up."

But you can't blame him completely because that would be like blaming the puppet rather than the guy with his hand up the puppet's butt.

Huge kerfuffle breaks out in Glendale, CA as Armenian parents confront LGBTQ+1WAP mob

An enormous kerfuffle erupted outside the Glendale School Board meeting in Los Angeles as a group of normal parents, many of whom are Armenian-Americans, protested the school's so called pride events.

The fascists from Antifa showed up in force and the melee began in earnest as punches were thrown and landed as the cops tried to stop the fighting. Some protesters had to be pulled apart to prevent serious bodily injury.

It is becoming increasingly obvious that parents don't want their children's schools teaching sexually explicit depravity to their kids and ironically, thanks to Covid and the discoveries made by parents whose kids were being indoctrinated on the home computers, parents finally discovered what was being taught to their children behind their backs.

Warning: Violent content. 

A physical brawl breaks out between anti-LGBTQ protestors and LGBTQ supporters outside the Glendale unified school board meeting in Los Angeles. pic.twitter.com/jcqML9NmAi

Olmos refers to the angry parents as 'anti-LGBTQ protestors' but that's a misnomer. They are actually 'pro-parenting protesters and don't want their children to be groomed by these deranged individuals. 

In other video footage, a KCAL newscaster is heard incredulously saying, “Wow. Oh boy” while he watches the violence grow:

The fighting didn't come as a big surprise because things were heating up prior to this event, as the Los Angeles Time had noted.

The agenda for Tuesday's board meeting, scheduled to begin at 5:00 p.m., included a member vote on recognizing June as Pride Month. But this comes in an increasingly volatile climate over LGBTQ+WAP~=+1369 rights as evidenced when protesters violently clashed at a North Hollywood elementary school over a Pride-themed assembly.

According to the Glendale police, prior clashes between protesters involved shouting and some naughty words, but no physical confrontations. 

Glendale has a large Armenian-American population, with more Armenians than any city outside Armenia itself, and some say the city is 40% Armenian. They are a culture that has normal traditional values and don't accept outsiders trying to convince their children to have their genitals mutilated, for some reason.

Now it's time for Muslims, Jews, and Christians and all of those who want final say in how their children are raised, to come together and defeat the LGBTQ+WAP~=+1369 agenda of grooming your kids for their sick desires.

NY lowers math and reading standards helping to make illiteracy the new normal

If you want to make the crime stats reflect a reduction in crime, the easiest way to do that is to decriminalize crime, at least the kinds of crime you can get away with saying is not a felony, but merely a misdemeanor. If you want to make it seem as if teachers are doing their job of teaching math and reading skills, just lower the bar and everybody passes.

Basically, it's the New York state of mind to think that their failing schools will look as if the children are being educated once proficiency is measured by showing some effort rather than ability. 

The state has decided to permanently lower the math and reading proficiency standards because there has been a dramatic fall in test scores since the COVID lockdowns as a result from the needless and useless way the school system in the state handled the situation. 

So the state tried a tactic designed to assuage the concerns of honest educators. A committee has reported that student performance has been permanently damaged and that lower competence has become “the new normal.” Instead of trying to improve on the losses incurred by the lockdowns, the so called educators just lowered the standards.

New York will make it easier for students to reach “proficiency” on state math and English language arts tests, calling last year’s lower scores the “new normal.”

Imagine if the state lowered the standard requirements of the motor vehicle driving test scores. If you can start the car and remember to check your mirrors before pulling out, you pass. Then why not get rid of speed limits too?

A scoring committee that reports to the Board of Regents said Monday that they must take into account the results of last year’s tests for students in grades three through eight. Some schools posted shocking results — in Schenectady, no eighth grader who took the math test scored as proficient. And the scores for the third through eighth grade tests throughout the state were much lower in 2022 than in 2019, a result no doubt of the absence of in-person learning during the first year and beyond of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Rather than trying to get their scores higher, just lower the passing grade to 'mildly retarded.' This is not doing the children any favors, although I'm sure they would disagree.

First the kids were betrayed by the pandemic, now they're betrayed by the state's refusal to help them regain the education they lost.

But that's okay--with the gay porn books found in many school libraries, they don't need to know how to read at a higher level. 

It's cultural Marxism at its finest.

BREAKING: Far Left New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern Resigns

Far Left former member of International Union of Socialist Youth and current Prime Minister of New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern said on Wednesday claims that she is resigning her position because she lacks the energy to seek re-election.

Ardern, 42, had been a leader of the Labour Party, which goes out of its way not to perform any true labor and is nothing more than a party whose title is an oxymoron.

“I’m leaving, because with such a privileged role comes responsibility,” she said. “The responsibility to know when you are the right person to lead and also when you are not. I know what this job takes. And I know that I no longer have enough in the tank to do it justice. It’s that simple.”

Her dictatorship will thankfully end on February 7 and an election will be held on October 14. 

Ardern has a history of taking away free speech from the people who put her in power, and in eliminating their freedom with iron-fisted pandemic lockdowns and gun bans on law abiding New Zealanders. She was a staunch advocate for the suppression of free speech online and nobody with a clear mind will miss her.

This incredibly untalented woman, in an attempt to grab absolute power, authorized a nationwide lockdown after one case had been reported in the entire country. “Don’t talk to your neighbors,” she said at the time. “Please keep to your bubble.”

One case in a country with about 5 million people and 4 million sheep she shut the country down and all the sheep obeyed.

Then when there was a shooting in Australia several years ago, she saw that as her chance to seize the opportunity and announced her regime would ban semi-automatic long guns and would force people to turn them in. But the New Zealand mandatory buyback program was a failure.

The leftist leader and her comrades in the "Butt Munch Bunch" faced public condemnation after she claimed that online speech was like a weapon of war, when she spoke at the mislabeled organization known as the United Nations in September.

Controlling speech, propaganda, is a weapon of war. The new term these dictators use is 'disinformation' and who controls what is and what isn't disinformation is using it as a self-serving weapon. 

“As leaders, we are rightly concerned that even those most light-touch approaches to disinformation could be misinterpreted as being hostile to the values of free speech we value so highly,” she claimed. “But while I cannot tell you today what the answer is to this challenge, I can say with complete certainty that we cannot ignore it. To do so poses an equal threat to the norms we all value.”

“After all, how do you successfully end a war if people are led to believe the reason for its existence is not only legal but noble?” she continued. “How do you tackle climate change if people do not believe it exists?”

A free and honest media would be a good start.

It's good that Ardern is leaving but we don't know who will replace her. Maybe it's time for the sheep to decide.

Stay tuned--this is still developing.

AOC believes the public wants to sex with her

AOC flips off reporters with wrong finger

Alexandria Occasionally-Creepy (Socialist-NY) went on Twitter and claimed that Republican men find her so attractive that they want to date her and stuff, but Democratic men would rather Jeffrey Toobin and Brian Stelter, if you know what I mean. 

AOC may have been fishing for confirmation about her narcissistic claim from Republican men, but instead she only received a reality check: Republican men don't find 'stupid' sexy, which is why Jeffrey Toobin and Brian Stelter.

The nasal-voice socialist economics "genius" got roasted on social media after she was photographed in Miami, Florida while her city's COVID count surged in New York City. Former Trump adviser Steve Cortes, gave his input about AOC's boyfriend and his happy sandals. 

Her reply was epic and shows just how her shallow mind works:

"If Republicans are mad they can’t date me they can just say that instead of projecting their sexual frustrations onto my boyfriend’s feet," she inexplicably suggested. "Ya creepy weirdos." 

So her assuming that because one person commented on her boyfriend's footwear, that the rest of the Republican men in America are angry that we can't date her? What, is she nuts?

 Next she added, "It’s starting to get old ignoring the very obvious, strange, and deranged sexual frustrations that underpin the Republican fixation on me, women,& LGBT+ people in general. These people clearly need therapy, won’t do it, and use politics as their outlet instead. It’s really weird."

AOC does her hot, hot number 

Let me repeat myself: is she nuts? Her thinking is coming from within herself because she doesn't seem to know any actual Republicans in any meaningful way. And worse, she really thinks it's obvious how we feel about her sexually. As Billy Shakespeare once said, "Methinks she thinks too much," or something like that. 

Mary Katherine Ham, the one actual conservative on the Children's Neverland Network (CNN) sarcastically said: "I relate to AOC. Literally every criticism of me boils down to people being disappointed they can’t have sex with me. It is indeed a burden, but one we must bear." 

Even former "The View" co-host Meghan McCain got in a dig on the bubble-brain bozo: "This whole thing just seems bizarrely anti- feminist. So, anytime women's political choices are criticized we can just say it's because people want to sleep them? Can't we just disagree with your tax/climate/mask policies without being involved in this weird sex narrative?" she asked, and then deleted it.

"When we weaponise our sexuality to defend our personhood it’s just as easy for our sexuality to immediately be weaponised against us to deny our personhood. A dicey game," journalist Eve Barlow wrote. She had also written on Friday, "AOC is really out here on the last day of the year pulling the people-disagree-with-me-cos-im-hot … card. Pretty much sums up 2021."

Of course she had her defenders, but those are probably the actual people who want to have sex with her or her boyfriend or both.

But at least AOC was able to have fun in Florida, go mask-less and drink to the point that her boyfriend's feet looked okay.

Happy New Year, guys! Thanks for reading Brain Flushings.

Florida's state bird is now the middle finger where COVID is concerned

President Biden got his symbolic butt kicked in Florida during the 2020 presidential election, which is why there is no love lost by him for the state. This is especially true about his feelings for the state's governor, Ron DeSantis.

 

But more than the election loss, Biden is obviously peeved over the freedom Florida's residents have and the business friendly policies, all of which treat Floridians as adults, not like children sucking at the teat of Big Brother.

Unlike Democratic [i.e., leftist] governors, DeSantis is willing to go up against Sleepy Joe on mandates and other measures that impact on individual rights and go against the U.S. Constitution, a document the left would like to tear up and throw away in order to grab more power.

Currently, Biden is trying to use the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) as a hammer to enforce COVID mandates across the country. OSHA is run by an unelected group of people who are not legally entitled to enforce a jaywalking ticket, much less a vaccine mandate on people who, for whatever reason, do not want to receive the jab.  

However, Fox Business has reported that Florida isn’t going to submit to this mandate without a fight.

When the person pulling Biden's strings had him babble that OSHA would be the tool to enforce the unconstitutional vaccine, whoever is behind the curtain thought he or she or them was in the clear.

Wrong.

Gov. DeSantis is now considering whether they will ditch OSHA altogether, and they have the right to do so. The Florida state legislature will be reviewing OSHA's future in the state next week during a special session.

Florida House Speaker, Chris Sprowls, said that Florida is eager to cut ties with OSHA and push for its own regulatory powers. The state refuses to sit back and do nothing while OSHA tries to turn businesses into government hostages.

State lawmakers will be implementing new protections to safeguard workers from this tyrannical government's vaccine mandates.

The administration [whoever is running it] is becoming increasingly aware that their vaccine mandate isn't going to win in court. This is precisely the reason the administration is pressuring businesses to move ahead on their own and push for medical mandates, in spite of the Federal Appeals Court's decision to pause it at the moment.

It's no mystery why so many people are leaving Democrat-run states to move to the Sunshine State, where they can lay out on the beach, soak up the freedom, and flip the bird.

Nat'l Teachers Union head having a cow over fear DeSantis will trigger flight to private schools

Randi Weingarten heads the American Federation of Teachers and is having a panic attack stemming from policies that Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) have implemented will encourage parents to remove their kids from leftism-teaching public schools, and transfer them to private schools instead. If this happens in large enough numbers, then there is hope for the nation.

If you are not suffering from Alzheimer's or other memory disorder, you will recall how the teachers unions across the country had schools locked down due to COVID-19, even after the vaccine was available. It seemed that if Weingarten and teachers in general had their way, remote learning would have lasted until the children were old enough to marry and settle down. Teachers did not want to go back to the classroom and were among the most cowardly among us.

On Thursday, Weingarten referencing an article in The New Republic, a far-left rag, that attacked DeSantis for his policies. The sleepy-face union prez tweeted: 

“This isn’t just about masks or about Governor DeSantis’ political aspirations. It’s about the complete destabilization of public education so that parents will choose private schools.” https://t.co/o9FkLV7vNW

— Randi Weingarten (@rweingarten)

But, like Bernie Sanders says about higher taxes, private schools is a good thing. Teachers in private schools can be terminated for poor performance. They are also not beholden to a union and therefore don't have to teach the mantra of critical race theory. Private schools also don't have to abide by public school mandates and can have a sane approach to masking requirements.

In July, Weingarten hysterically attacked Gov. DeSantis, tweeting that “Millions of Floridians are going to die for Ron DeSantis’ ignorance and he’s choosing to profit from it,” after DeSantis’ campaign team offered T-shirts saying, “Don’t Fauci My Florida.”

Unlike the left's profiting from apparel they sell on their websites like AOC, for example. It isn't the same for them.

In March, DeSantis unveiled a $106 million civics education initiative, developed under the advisement of Hillsdale College, which directs a line of charter schools, including one run by the education commissioner’s wife. The initiative emphasizes “the influence of the Ten Commandments.” It also bans “Marxist” critical race theory. 

In June, the state Board of Education banned any instruction that defines American history “as something other than the creation of a new nation based largely on universal principles stated in the Declaration of Independence.”

DeSantis Press Secretary Christina Pushaw blasted Weingarten in a statement to The Daily Wire, saying, “Is Randi Weingarten’s ridiculous claim that selling a koozie will lead to ‘millions’ of Floridians dying an example of Critical Math Theory? It’s terrifying that the fate of any child’s education is in the hands of someone so incredibly ignorant.”

The Daily Wire reported in May 2021 about the "destabilizing" of public schools and placed the blame squarely on the AFT and Weingarten:

The American Federation of Teachers, led by Randi Weingarten, appears to have lobbied the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to keep schools shuttered amid the coronavirus pandemic and “even suggested language for the federal agency’s school-reopening guidance released in February,” according to a Saturday report from the New York Post, based on emails between the AFT and CDC.

“The powerful teachers union’s full-court press preceded the federal agency putting the brakes on a full re-opening of in-person classrooms, emails between top CDC, AFT, and White House officials show,” the Post reported Saturday.

Weingarten’s tweet engendered responses like this one from Karol Markowicz:

I will say again: absolutely no one destabilized public education last year more than Randi Weingarten. School choice movement owes her a big thank you. We noticed that public schools controlled by her stayed closed while the private schools in same areas opened. We saw. https://t.co/5LPuCt054v

So please, Randi Weingarten, don't give the American public your crap about DeSantis and your fear about losing students to a better educational experience.

NY Gov. Kathy Hochul forms the "Church of the Holy Covidnant"

Kathy Hochul, aka "The Messenger"

Unelected New York Governor and Right Reverend "Sister" Kathy Hochul, the messenger of the Lord, has brought Jesus to the vaccinated and the wrath of God to those who have not as yet received the holy jab, a vaccination so effective that will protect us from the coronavirus. 

The vaccine is totally effective but those who refuse the shot can still infect those who have taken it. Yes, it doesn't make sense but the ways of "The Messenger" are mysterious and need no explanation. In fact, if you question the word of The Messenger," you will be punished both here and in the afterlife.

Hochul, "The Messenger," pontificated at a Brooklyn-based evangelical megachurch, the Christian Cultural Center, using it as her bully pulpit on Sunday. 

"The Messenger" called upon vaccinated congregants to be her “apostles” to promote New York’s vaccine mandate agenda because their unvaccinated brothers and sisters “aren’t listening to God and what God wants.”

And she has a direct line to God, and spaketh she did: “He made the smartest men and women, the scientists, the doctors, the researchers — he made them come up with a vaccine. That is from God to us, and we must say, ‘Thank you, God.'”

Actually, it was the Trump administration and the prodding by the former president to push for a vaccine and the scientists came through. Even President Joe Biden has received both Trump vaccines and the Trump booster shot.

“I need you to be my apostles,” she told the congregation. “Jesus taught us to love one another. And how do you show that love but to care about each other enough to say, ‘Please get the vaccine because I love you and I want you to live.'”

Even though those brothers and sisters who already had COVID have a better immunology to the disease than those with a vaccine but the Lord and "The Messenger" still want them to get the vaccine.

Call me crazy, but it seems to me that some people are getting a lot of money from these vaccine mandates.

The irony is how this idiot is using religion to peddle her product while trying to take away the freedom of those who have reasons for not getting vaccinated.

It's ironic how healthcare workers bravely worked without masks to help those with the disease and now they are being mandated to take the vaccine or risk termination, as many already have. And it's ironic how these elites have created their own healthcare emergency by the loss of staffing at hospitals and clinics.

On Aug. 16, then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced the New York Department of Health regulation mandating all health care workers in the state receive their first dose of COVID-19 vaccine by Sept. 27 – with “limited exceptions for those with religious or medical reasons” — or risk termination.

Just ten days later after "The Messenger" was sworn in as New York's first Prophet governor,  New York’s Public Health and Health Planning Council approved an emergency regulation completely removing the religious exemption but leaving the medical exemption in place.

This sparked a group of anonymous health care workers, represented by the Thomas More Society, to file a lawsuit on Sept. 13 against the state, arguing that their constitutional rights were violated when the state issued a vaccination mandate with “no exemption for sincere religious beliefs.”

The next day, Judge David Hurd of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York temporarily blocked the mandate for those seeking religious exemption. This pushed back the requirement at least another two weeks until Oct. 12 when the judge will decide “whether to make the preliminary injunction more permanent,” the New York Post reported.

According to "The Messenger," nobody has the right to exceed her authority.

Dems relieved the vaccine mandate doesn't apply to them

Democrats were almost up in arms when President Biden [his Indian name is "Shines Through Both Ears"] announced vaccine mandates for all businesses with over 100 employees and others that are connected to the federal government. 

However, once the left learned that the mandates didn't apply to them, they were behind it all the way. After all, elections have their consequences, right?

So while small businesses will be fined $1,400 per day per employee who fails to comply, this does not apply to members of Congress and their staff, the legislative and judicial branch, postal workers and teachers unions.

It's Joe's way of saying, "Your body, my choice."

The same philosophy applies to the mask mandates as well. You can't go to a restaurant without wearing a mask until you're ready to eat, but California's Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom and all in his company can.

And during the lockdowns of last year, only Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi [her Indian name is "Sliding Dentures"] was going unmasked to the beauty salon, and it turned out to be a waste of time anyway.

And the Communist News Network's Chris Cuomo [his Indian name is "Reflection Erection"] didn't care that he ventured out of his home onto the public streets while he still had COVID, and then pretended he was in his basement all that time. He's a leftist like his sexually inappropriate, senior citizen killer brother Andrew [whose Indian name is "Blows Smoke Like Nose"] and they believe mandates aren't for them.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) and even her husband, didn't think the rules applied to them. He tried to take out his boat during lockdown and she was caught on camera with a bunch of others who pushed tables together at an East Lansing bar, thus violating her own rules over masks and social distancing.

But this is not at all a comprehensive list of all those Democrats who broke Covid rules. The hypocrisy is amazing.

Co-President Biden came out with his dictatorial and racist vaccine mandates on Thursday. The mandates are racist due to the fact that a large percentage of people hesitant to take the vaccine are Black, and others who already had contracted covid are immunized even better than the vaccine can do but they too are mandated to take the Fauci prick.

But way back in April, "Dancing Dentures" Pelosi said that the House couldn't require members to get vaccinated. “So—so here is the thing. We are—we cannot require someone to be vaccinated. That’s just not what we can do. It is a matter of privacy to know who is or who isn’t.” 

“I can’t go to the Capitol Physician and say, ‘Give me the names of people who aren’t vaccinated, so I can go encourage them or make it known to others to encourage them to be vaccinated.’ So we can’t—we can’t do that,” she said.

And while Pelosi's tribe said that she was referring to House members only, since when do they have privacy rights that regular Americans don't have? That was the case they were making.

But even Biden [whose other Indian name is "Dances with Stairs"] said as late as July that he couldn't impose mandates that violate privacy rights.

He was just kidding, it turns out. That only applies to Democrats.

Court rules CA governor's 2020 COVID order is unconstitutional

Gavin Newsom claims that science and data guided him in deciding his coronavirus order, like science has guided him into his take on gender in that it's fluid and also how he believes that abortion is acceptable, perhaps thinking the baby isn't a real baby until you see its head. His take on abortion comes in spite of his claim of being a devout Catholic. By the way, Catholics and Christians in general are not the only religions that are pro-life; Judaism, Islam and other religions take the same stance

A federal appeals court ruled the California governor went too far grabbing power when he forced private schools, [as in not under his jurisdiction] to remain closed as part of his a là carte lockdown to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic.

“California’s forced closure of their private schools implicates a right that has long been considered fundamental under the applicable caselaw — the right of parents to control their children’s education and to choose their children’s educational forum,” Judge Daniel Collins of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals wrote for the majority in the ruling on Friday.

The left does not want parents to control their kids' education because they might not go along with left wing ideas, such as critical race theory that has deep roots in Marxism. 

“[T]he private-school Plaintiffs have established that the State’s prohibition on in-person instruction deprives them of a core right that is constitutionally protected,” the court said.

The ruling also noted that this is not the first time California has been authoritarian and heavy-handed in its lockdown orders.

“As with its rigidly over-broad approach to religious services, California once again failed to ‘explain why it cannot address its legitimate concerns with rules short of a total ban,'” the court said.

“Because California’s ban on in-person schooling abridges a fundamental liberty of these five Plaintiffs that is protected by the Due Process Clause, that prohibition can be upheld only if it withstands strict scrutiny. Given the State closure order’s lack of narrow tailoring, we cannot say that, as a matter of law, it survives such scrutiny,” it said.

The appeals court, however, admitted that it could not offer the same support [as in educational protection] for parents of public school students who sued over Newsom’s July 2020 order.

Newsom is being challenged in a recall election by Larry Elder, a conservative who is better suited to help parents deal with their problems in educating their children.

Cubans rally in street with American flags, shouting "freedom" and "liberty" as US media blames covid

Former newspaper, the New York Times, along with the legacy media and the Biden-Harris-Jarrett-Obama-AOC-Klain administration, are trying to convince us that the protests currently taking place in Cuba is all about the covid crisis and the lack of vaccinations. Anyone who is more sentient than Joe Biden knows this is a lie. "Don't look at that American flag the protesters are displaying; it's covid, they tell us.

Forget how the Left hawks communist countries like Cuba and brag, like Michael Moore did and made an entire movie about, health care there. It's covid, they tell us--that's what the protest is all about. In truth, Cuban health care has sucked and covid vaccinations are merely a reflection of this problem.

And those cries of "freedom!" "liberty," actually mean "covid!" and "vaccines" in Espanol, when spoken by Cubans. It's covid, not actual freedom and liberty--they're speaking Spanish. Covid.

This has been the largest demonstration in Cuba since the 1959 revolution and people are literally risking their lives to demonstrate, just as they have risked their lives trying to float to Florida on makeshift rafts, floating their own cars, or trying to use buoys to get to the freest country on the planet.

Some of the videos posted online were circulated on Sunday by Cuba's pro-freedom protesters as they took to the streets literally crying out for freedom from their communist oppressors. Some of the videos were also promoted by U.S. pro-freedom politicians. They show the protesters storming the local communist party office and flipping over a police vehicle. 

In Havana, the crowd got heated up outside the Communist Party's headquarters. But our own leftist press is trying to gaslight us into believing it's all about covid.

This kind of courage & bravery needs to be shared with the whole world#SOSCuba #PatriaYVida

Cubans took to the street in rarely seen demonstrations to protest the impoverished conditions of the island, their lack of freedom under the far-left Marxist regime, and did so while chanting “Liberty” and “Freedom” and waving an American flag. [H/T The Daily Wire]

Despite this, Julie Chung, Acting Assistant Secretary for U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs, insisted that the protests were all about the covid, all about the covid-don't believe your lying eyes. Part of the reason the administration is misdirecting the dialog is because they are clueless on how to handle the situation.

“Peaceful protests are growing in #Cuba as the Cuban people exercise their right to peaceful assembly to express concern about rising COVID cases/deaths & medicine shortages,” Chung tweeted. “We commend the numerous efforts of the Cuban people mobilizing donations to help neighbors in need.”

Bull crap. The Cuban people do not, I repeat, do not have the right to peaceful assembly. That's just a damn lie and they know it. The protesters were protesting about the communist government that has had them under their thumb for over 60 years.

And it didn't take long before the communist Cuban government began going after the protesters.

It wasn’t long before the communist government began cracking down on the protesters, which it sees as a threat to its very existence.

Even the left-loving Washington Post reported:

José Miguel Vivanco, director of Human Rights Watch’s Americas division, said his group had received reports that at least 20 people had been arrested. He added that the organization had received reports of violence being used by Cuban forces, a claim echoed by social media users sharing videos of wounded protesters.

“This is pretty massive,” Vivanco said. “My sense is that this is a combination of social unrest based on a lack of freedoms, and covid, and economic conditions. The lack of access to electricity. The blackouts. … People are screaming for freedom.”

Yes, communism in action; or should I say inaction?

“As demonstrators sought to broadcast the protest live with their cellphones through social media, Cuba’s authorities cut internet service on multiple occasions on Sunday,” The Wall Street Journal reported. “Kentik, a U.S.-based network monitoring company, reported countrywide internet outages.”

The New York Times reported that numerous videos that were posted online that showed the protests had “suddenly disappeared.” “The people are dying of hunger!” one woman shouted during a protest highlighted by The Times, “Our children are dying of hunger!” Other chants included “We want freedom” and “We want vaccines.”

Of course covid is an issue, but it's an issue caused by the incompetence of a communist government more interested in self-preservation than preserving the lives of its people.

Funny how freedom fighters in Hong Kong and even Iran, use the American flag as a symbol of the freedom and liberty they crave, while the hard-Left in the U.S. burn the flag because they have the freedom to do so, and the ignorance to be clueless of what it stands for.

Wouldn't it be great if those who burn the flag are willing to trade places with foreign freedom fighters who revere what it stands for? Of course, that will never happen, but it makes for a great "happy place" when you need to go there.

Seven dead after drinking hand sanitizer at a party in Russia: media blames Trump

Seven people with incredibly poor judgment have died in Russia at a party that may have run out of vodka and they substituted hand sanitizer. US legacy media blames President Trump for the deaths.

"Had the President not lied to the American people and given them false hope that drinking bleach or shooting light up their butts to kill the virus, these unfortunate souls would still be alive today," Brian Williams of MSNBC ironically said, after jumping out of a helicopter and single-handedly put down a Middle East attack on innocent civilians saving countless lives, he reported.

The group of nine idiots drank the hand sanitizer when the alcohol ran out in Tomtor village in the Tattinsky of Russia's largest region Yakutia on Thursday, local time.

Party cretins drank the product thinking perhaps they could kill two birds with one stone: COVID-19 that may have infiltrated their stomach, and also get their buzz going. 

Instead, the only bird they killed were themselves.

The hand wash is made up of 69 percent methanol, which was sold for use in the pandemic. Russian health officials even warned these low-functioning locals not to drink the antiseptic liquid but they did not listen. 

It's like firecracker warnings from China that say: "Lay on ground; light fuse; retire quickly." Many idiots laid on the ground and lit the fuses, but refused to retire because they liked their jobs. Noses were destroyed, eyelashes gone, hopes and dreams dashed.

A criminal case has been opened in Russia.

The victims were five not very bright men aged 27, 28, 32, 59 and 69 along with a dolt of a woman aged 41. Another person also died, but it’s not known what their age or gender is, but we can assume their IQ was marginal.

Two more vapid individuals remain in a coma in an intensive care ward, which may not be an unusual state of mind for them.
