I have two parallel lines of thought here...

One is to once again refer you to my previous post, showing images of the Legacy Media publicizing the fact that the Fed is widening its investigation into this specific fraud, with a big ole' fullscreen of Minnesota Gov. Walz looking really bedraggled, and, well, pretty Nixon-like.

That wasn't an accident incidentally. I say this as a person who was in the newsroom when that package was assembled.



The other is this:






I mean, it's definitely a coincidence that some new scandal always seems to pop up every time public and media attention is focused on the current administration's intense battle to prevent anything resembling honest and transparent disclosure about that particular subject.

I am 100% certain that the Somalian daycare fraud, and the Nick Shirley revelation about it, is definitely *not* a story engineered by the White House to distract our attention away from its own involvement in one of the largest and most well-funded child-sex-trafficking organizations in history.

That would just be too convenient. It would fit too well into our exact expectations.

It would just be ridiculous.

You're right. Nothing to see here....move along.

At least the MSM is paying a little attention. 50+ convictions in MN earlier this year for scamming a few hundred million dollars? Crickets. An FBI investigation ongoing since 2022? Apparently not newsworthy. They’re only reporting now because they’re embarrassed that the enemy(Republicans) are making a big deal of their non-feasance.

The other extra added bonus--no "Journo-List" cabal of reporters getting on a group call to decide what narrative they'll drive this week. It's organic, unorganized, and just goes for the truth. News agencies hate this little hack...

Here's some dude just going out and checking voter registration and comparing it to home sites. In this instance, it's an abandoned home. This is the Democrat voter fraud that allows the Somali daycare fraud. Democrats be so proud of their contributions to society.

I've known local reporters. Joe certainly knows more of them. They are just people working a job. They aren't generally crusaders for justice. They damn sure aren't risking their employment and any future employment over reporting things not in the best interests of their leadership and ownership. Local news companies need access to local politicians and they lose that if they don't play nice. It's much more difficult to get these kinds of stories out when all of the bad actors belong to the same mafia crime family, and that family runs the city, county, state, judicial system, etc. And the station relies heavily upon advertising dollars from that crime family during each election cycle.

Additionally, the co-workers, management, and even prospective future employers are not just sympathetic but openly supportive of the Democrat crime family.

That being said, both parties suck. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. And nobody in congress goes to prison. **** them all to death with a running chainsaw.

All it takes for "journalism" is to knock on a door.


Looks like the Democrats are sharing their fraud secrets between states.

Honestly, I'm at the point where I'm starting to believe that the only way that the United States of America actually survives long enough for our timeline to meet up with the utopian one depicted in the various Star Trek franchises is for us to construct a permanent gallows right here:

Not nearly enough real estate there for it to work, and a gallows is grisly but too sterile. A truly horrifying end, able to be executed in volume would probably work better as a deterrent.

I don't agree.

Continuous mass executions would likely serve to de-stabilize the nation. Hanging at the steps of The Capitol should be treated as a Nuremburg-style punishment, reserved for the most heinous of offenders, after they have been granted due process and a *speedy* and public trial.


However, this thread has taken a weird turn lately with Cordy and The Minnesomialians (that is the name of my Marvin Berry cover band), so I post this merely because it is light-heartedly funny:
