The incompetence and mismanagement of taxpayer dollars and government programs, be it Covid, voting, or over staffing continue to waste taxpayer dollars while never resolving any major issue facing the country. We call it political class insanity so here is today's dose of recent insanity:
1)We have often talked about two realities:
The Biden administration was overwhelmed when it allowed millions and millions of illegal immigrants into the country, so much so that they lost track of over 300,000 illegal immigrant kids, many of whom probably ended up being sex trafficked, working in sweatshops, and who knows what else.
Nick Shirley, a 24 year old independent journalist has done a great job exposing the fraud and ineptness of the Federal government when it comes to wasting money through fraud and inefficiencies in the Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and Covid programs.
And Mr. Shirley continues to expose the fraud and disgustingly poor performance of the Federal government:
In a recent documentary, Shirley accused the Biden administration of running the largest human trafficking operation in the country's history.
This accusation was a result of the massive amount of illegal immigration Biden allowed during his term.
Shirley accused a network of non-governmental organizations (NCOs) using taxpayer money to profit in managing the illegal immigrant kids: "Your tax dollars trafficked over 300,000 children across the United States while NGOs enriched themselves with millions of dollars.”
One NGO got $895 million while numerous other NGOs got over $100,000 each.
And despite spending over a billion dollars, 300,000 kids went missing.
The documentary interviewed Border Patrol agents and airline flight attendants who saw the NGOs funneling kids around the country.
The Office of the Inspector General has officially warned that children that were lost had a high risk of trafficking exploitation and forced labor.
In June, the Director of Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullin, stated that nearly “300,000” kids were still missing.
Another day, another billion dollars of taxpayer wealth wasted. And that is not the biggest tragedy: hundreds of thousands of kids lost because Biden opened the border to millions of illegal immigrants and those kids got lost in the bureaucracy while NGOs got rich.
2)Letitia James is the New York Attorney General. As a result, she is responsible for enforcing the laws of the land. But she recently got herself into a potentially very serious conflict of interest situation:
She is being accused of ignoring alleged abuses that were possibly incurred by three scandal-plagued homeless shelter operators, shelters that were all funded by taxpayer dollars.
But she also received tens of thousands of dollars in political donations from these three shelter-operators.
Since James took office in 2019, the three operators have been flagged for serious operating problems by the state Comptroller's Office, the state Inspector General, the NYC Department of Investigation (DOI), and the Federal government.
Thus, there was a lot of suspicion from a lot of different sources regarding questionable spending and weak oversight of taxpayer funds.
The DOI documented widespread “nepotism, lack of competitive bidding and exorbitant salaries” and the Attorney General could “bring action to enjoin, void or rescind” misdeeds.
The State Comptroller's office found that one of the shelters overbilled the city by over $566,556 dollars over a two year period.
In 2019, a manager of one shelter was arrested for raping a woman under his supervision.
Many of the executives running rewarded themselves with extremely, out of the ordinary salaries and perks at taxpayer expense.
And despite all of the findings of multiple organizations, James and her forces apparently have done nothing to prosecute whatever law breaking that may have happened by these shelter operators that have donated to James’ political campaigns.
The appearance of the conflict of interest is just as bad as actual conflict of interest. And this is a classic case where conflict of interest is in play, either perceived or real or both.
3)Louise Lucas is a long time state senator in the Virginia state legislature. But according to the Federal government, she has been involved in a lot more than legislating:
She was recently arrested on Federal charges of being a member of a wide ranging marijuana trafficking and money laundering operation.
The operation allegedly included herself, family members, and associates.
She faces five charges in the Federal indictment: racketeering conspiracy, conspiracy to distribute marijuana, money laundering conspiracy, conspiracy to commit honest-services fraud through bribery, and maintaining a drug-involved premises.
She is also accused of using her position and power in the legislature to shape marijuana government policy.
An FBI wiretap allegedly caught the real greedy reason why she was peddling marijuna: “This is our last chance at generational wealth. I’ve got too old not to be greedy.”
Of course, in typical Democratic manner, her attorney blamed Trump even though the investigation started during Biden's term in office.
Nice work if you can get it. Let the taxpayers pay your salary to enforce the laws of the state while you are allegedly getting richer by breaking the laws of the state, a classic double dipping scheme. Lucas had been in the legislature since the early 1990s so she obviously should have known she was breaking the law if the indictment and accusations are true.
Enough insanity for today: a Virginia politician running an illegal marijuana operation, a New York Attorney General allegedly booking the other way from the obvious abuse of taxpayer wealth, and Biden's broken immigration policies made several NGOs and their operators quite wealthy.
