I found this report online, and thought it important enough to link here. This report is from 2018, but the practice of using Federal money from taxpayers to fund terrorism is still an issue. I do hope that the Ag Dept. is one that get audited, and SOON.
One likely offshoot of the elimination of these carve-outs to The Left is to encourage self-deports, who, as a result, can no longer live off the unwillingly supplied taxpayer money. In these cases, Sunlight is the Disinfectant that will rid our country of Leftist Subversion.
Soon, I hope.
Some are saying that the violence/lawfare/increased activism are the death throws of The Left. I’m not as certain – I believe that we need to start throwing the people behind The Left in jail for their crimes (not JUST for being on The Left, but because so many of them committed fraud and other financial crimes, as well as conspired to deprive American citizens of their Constitutional Rights).
It’s going to take time and energy to root them out. It will be the work of DECADES to dig them out of their embedded nests in academia, government, NGOs, and other ‘safe spaces’. We need to continue the work to identify the ringleaders, dig them out of their cushy places, and separate them from ANY public money coming their way. That last will be helped by identifying financial crimes, and clawing back as much of their ill-gotten gains as we can.
We need to document EVERYTHING. There should be no way for them to argue that they didn’t commit the crimes they did.
Of course, in addition to financial restitution, admission of FELONY crimes AND surrender of all law licenses/teacher certifications/ability to get a financial bond to handle money, and – if not a citizen (or if they have acted on behalf of another country and against America, even if naturalized), deported permanently, along with other members of their families.
Attach all money in excess of a bare living for restitution of taxpayer-provided money they illegally received.
Offer bounties for those willing to provide evidence that can be used in prosecution, or helping to locate those who have gone ‘underground’. A LOT of people know of their crimes; let’s put that to work for us.
April 1 is over, there have been NO arrests in the matter of Social Security/EBT Fraud.
Nor, for that matter, any of the guilty parties in the Epstein Island horror.
No matter. I’m prepping for my knee replacement next Monday, and I have limited time to give to things not immediately necessary (clearing the floors so I can use a walker, paying all bills, finding paperwork my CPA needs to file income taxes, and switching my clothing from winter to spring/summer).
I’m hobbled right now. I had to switch my meds from those needed for RA to Tylenol before the surgery. Naturally, I’m both stiff and sore at the moment, which is slowing me up.
I’m going to be loading my iPad with books for those times when I have nothing to do and the TV offerings are boring. That is, of course, assuming that I will be able to focus sufficiently to comprehend anything.
Maybe I better spend that time on sit-com TV. That will probably be the upper limit of my functioning for at least a few days.
Some news, not that pleasant, but important. My daughter who’d had heart surgery had a setback. She has developed an atrial Flutter, similar to A-Fib, but apparently somewhat less serious. That accompanied fluid in her pericardium, and fluid surrounding her lung.
Both are being drained; she is expected to be discharged Monday. I won’t be there. I will be in recovery for knee replacement.
Fortunately, she has many others who can take her back to her sister’s house to complete her recovery. I did go to the hospital to visit today. I’m just thrilled she listened to that sense of being ‘not-right’, and went to the hospital to check it out. She’d been given a good report at her follow up appointment just a few days before, that’s how quickly this cropped up.
So our 15 months of lurching from health crisis to crisis continues. Mostly turning out well, but quite a strain nonetheless.
