July, 2026, Political Class Insanity, Part 3: A Cocaine Peddling Massachusetts Government Employee, Chicago Spends Almost $700 Million On Illegal Immigrants, and Walz Protects A Child Rapist

 We have spent a lot of our recent posts about which state or city will go bankrupt first and the massive fraud that has been going on relative to government programs. But that does not mean that the potential class has not been up to its traditional incompetence, insanity,  and screw ups. So, let’s catch up with  the shenanigans that continue to plague the country:


1)Government fraud is not only done  by criminals  outside of the the government but  sometimes government employees also  do the stealing  of taxpayer wealth:


  • According to  reporting by the Blabberbuzz  website, a  former senior employee of  Massachusetts governor, Maura  Healey, has  been  charged for  allegedly operating a "major cocaine trafficking  ring” out  of his taxpayer funded workplace  office.

  • LaMarr Cook  served as deputy director of Healey's Western Massachusetts  office.

  • State police  allegedly intercepted eight kilograms of  cocaine that Cook  tried unsuccessfully  to ship to his government  office.

  • However, despite  the seriousness of his  crime, he was given a token  bail of  only $25,000.

  • But the Boston Herald then reported that he vacationed  in Disneyworld using Federal government SNAP food allocations.

  • I guess being arrested for being  a major cocaine supplier  does not invalid  you from getting  Federal government food support.

  • But it gets worse: after his  arrest, the Healey administration gave him $31,000  of taxpayer wealth that the government  had  been "mistakenly  paid out.”

  • No word if the mistaken payout was corrected and the money clawed back.


Government  fraud and insane wasting of taxpayer  funds comes from all directions including  fraud associated with alleged cocaine peddling government employees.


2)There are a lot of Americans suffering in the city of Chicago today:


  • There are  about 58,000 homeless Americans currently in the city.

  • There were 835 drug overdose deaths in the  city last year so there has to be thousands of city residents that need drug addiction  treatment.

  • There have been 686 shootings in the city this year, a 4% increase over  last year at this time and a total of 858 shooting victims.

  • In  June  alone,  there were 139 shootings and 43  homicides.

  • Over 500,000  residents, about 25% of  the population,  are living with  food insecurity.


Obviously, a  load  of city residents are indeed of support and care. So what have the politicians  of the city been  spending  a  lot of money  on over the past few years in spite of their residents’ suffering:


  • According to  reporting by the Chicago Sun times,  the city inspector  general  recently did a  deep dive into  city finances  and accounting to see  how  money was being  spent relative to  the thousands and  thousands  of illegal immigrants that had come to the sanctuary city of Chicago over the past few years.

  • He was investigating whether proper accounting procedures had been  followed in funding illegal  immigrant support  but the numbers he  compiled are  amazing and disgusting relative  to illegal immigrants.

  • Chicago politicians spent a  whopping $639.6 million for the support of illegal immigrants during the first 18 months of  Mayor Brandon Johnson's term.

  • Before Biden let  millions of illegal immigrants into the country, thousands  of which headed  toward the sanctuary city of Chicago, the city had only 3,000 beds  for homeless folks.

  • The  city had to open up 38 emergency shelters just to handle the flood of illegal immigrants.

  • But that was not enough  and the city had  to  put  up  temporary shelters in  police stations  and  the two main city  airports.


It was  amazing how fast city politicians were  able to mobilize and get free housing, free  food,  free medical care and other  free services for illegal  immigrants and spend $639.6 million in the process. And yet, there are still hundreds of thousands  of city residents who are homeless,  hungry, and in need medical attention even after the $639.6 million  of  taxpayer money was spent on non-Americans:


  • If you do  the math, that $639.6 million could have given every food-stressed American  in the city  three nutritious meals a day for  about 14 months but yet, 500,000 city residents are food insecure  today.

  • According to the government's Drug Abuse website, it costs on average about $6,600 to provide an  annual methadone treatment for opioid addiction per person.

  • Thus, theoretically, that $639.6 million  could have provided a year's opioid addiction support and treatment for just under 100,00 city residents and possibly reduced the  835  drug  addiction  deaths last year in the city.

  • The  $639.6 million  could have gotten the 58,000 homeless city residents  about two months in moderately  priced hotel rooms (assuming $200  a night) during the cold  Chicago winters and kept them safe for at  least a little while.

  • How  many more police officers and district attorneys could have been hired with that $640.6 million  to reduce the  violence and homicides in the  city? 


Thus, despite spending $639.6 million the residents of Chicago are still suffering.


3)Let’s stay with the illegal immigrant problem Biden created and much like the  idiocy the Chicago  politicians spending over $600 million  on illegal immigrants, consider  the idiocy of the Minnesota governor  relative  to  a dangerous illegal  immigrant:


  • Tou Lue Vang was an illegal immigrant from Laos.

  • He was convicted of repeatedly raping a young American girl over several years in Minnesota in 2006.

  • He had  illegally entered the country in 1994 and yet decades later he was  still in the country.

  • The  victim was only 10 years old when the raping began, raping that continued for four years.

  • Recently the governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, gave Vang  clemency.

  • Fortunately, the Federal government stepped in and deported Vang  back to Laos, as  described by Secretary of State Marco Rubio: “Under President Trump, criminal illegal aliens who rape children will be found, arrested, and removed — and Democrat politicians will not stand in the way.” 

  • But somehow Walz freaked out when the Feds deported this  child rapist even though he called Vang’s actions  “horrific.”

  • Lauren Bis, acting assistant  secretary in the Department of Homeland Security, was having  none of Walz.’s craziness: “Governor Tim Walz’s decision to pardon an illegal alien convicted child rapist so he can remain in our country is disgusting. These are the criminal illegal aliens he and his Minnesota sanctuary politicians are protecting.” 


The insanity with this governor is strong. An illegal immigrant who repeatedly raped an American ten year old and  continued the  raping for four years is some how shown compassion by a failed governor.  


But yet another example where illegal immigrants,including  rapists, are  more important to Democrats and liberals than  the American citizen victims.


Enough  insanity for  today: protecting a child raping illegal  immigrant, lightning fast response to help illegal immigrants in a sanctuary city while Americans in the same sanctuary city suffer and get nothing, and an alleged cocaine  peddling state employee in Massachusetts  who gets a $35,000 taxpayer funded  exit gift.

Trump and Musk Continue To Uncover Wasteful and Corrupt Government Spending - Part 5

 We have  so often discussed the reality that the country and the Federal  government that operates it is quickly heading towards a fiscal cliff that, unless something drastic is done, will crash our economy, our savings, and our freedoms. The Federal government budget is quickly ascending to a whopping $37,000,000,000,000 ($37 TRILLION for those that do not want to count the zeroes). In fact, the case could probably be made that we as a nation have  already gone over that fiscal cliff but have just not hit the valley floor below and gone splat.


Despite the raging epidemic of Trump Derangement Syndrome among liberals and  Democrats, Trump, Elon Musk, and the members of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have done a great job in a very short time identifying stupid, nonsensical, corrupt, and unneeded Federal government costs and expenses. 


No matter what you think of Trump as a person (and by the way, I have never voted for the man), his attacking of excess costs had to be done if we have any chance of getting outlandish and wasteful government spending under control. Otherwise, the dire results listed above and the hyperinflation that  would come with it would not be at all  pleasant.


Our first discussion on  the outlandish costs he identified were listed in a series of posts earlier this year beginning with the following:


https://loathemygovernment.blogspot.com/2025/02/february-2025-by-numbers-part-2.html


Over this series of posts we will  continue that discussion and identify the corruption, waste, and stupidity that the Federal government is guilty of when it comes to wasting taxpayer wealth.


1)Waste and  corruption is  not just found in Federal government programs, sometimes it is individual  Federal employees that are ripping off taxpayers:


  • Levita Almuete Ferrer was a State Department senior budget analyst during the Biden administration.

  • She recently pleaded guilty to stealing over $650,000 from the Federal  government.

  • She used a State Department checking account and her signature authority to write herself 60 personal checks and three other checks to a friend.

  • She was quite sophisticated about it since she wrote the checks to herself but then  adjusted the official  accounting system by replacing her name with the names of State Department vendors.

  • She faces ten years in prison and has committed to paying back the stolen taxpayer wealth.


The good news is this corrupt former government employee got caught and the  taxpayer  wealth will  apparently be recovered. The bad news is  that we do not know how many other Federal government employees are engaged in similar schemes to  rip off the American taxpayer.

2)The Trump administration recently uncovered another fraud and corruption scheme:

  • U.S. Attorney  Ed Martin recently reported that the Trump administration  had  recovered  almost $1 million in another fraud case.

  • An audit of the now infamous USAID organization apparently was overbilled by a company called Stax, relative to a Sri Lanka initiative.

Another day,  another million dollars in fraud.

3)Many times we have discussed the reality that the Social  Security process will face a serious  funding shortfall in a few years, resulting in Social  Security recipients seeing about a 20% decrease in their monthly payments. And a recent DOGE finding shows how that fateful day may be coming sooner rather than later:

  • A DOGE official recently announced that a large number of illegal immigrants, possibly upwards of five million, have been  issued Social Security numbers.

  • Even worse than this screw up is the reality that these illegal immigrants have been drawing Social Security checks despite having not paid into the system and despite being in the country illegally.

  • According to Antonio Gracias of DOGE these fold are also soaking up Medicaid funds: “Every benefit program we looked at was being accessed by these people. 1.3 million of them are on Medicaid right now, today. And by the way, it’s just ramping.”

  • And adding insult to this financial wasting, DOGE also found that these illegal immigrants are voting in our elections, something that should not happen.

  • Many of the individuals found to be voting and sucking  up taxpayer funded retirement and medical benefits were actually criminals  and  people  on terrorist watch lists.

Another example where Washington politicians continue to care more about illegal immigrants than American  citizens since they have allowed millions of illegal immigrants to use up retirement and medical resources intended for American citizens, the people that actually pay taxes to support these programs.


4)Let's finish up this post and the current string of posts that documented how DOGE  and Trump have  been identifying and eliminating government programs, bureaucratic inefficiencies and criminal fraud to save wasted taxpayer dollars. In the post referenced above, the unbelievable and wasteful spending by the USAID organization on absolutely stupid and ineffective foreign aid programs was documented. Billions of dollars wasted.


How ineffective and wasteful has USAID been? According to Congressional testimony of current Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, for  every taxpayer dollar spent that was supposed to help people in need in far away countries, only 12 cents on the dollar actually directly impacted the needy people. 88 cents of every dollar was eaten up by fraud, mismanagement, administration, and criminal activity.


In other words, more than six times more money was spent on overhead than actually helping people. An absolute insult to every American taxpayer.


Enough for today: massive USAID administrative failures, illegal immigrants by the millions possibly draining limited Social Security wealth, and Federal government employees ripping off government budgets and taxpayers. DOGE is working and saving the American taxpayer billions of dollars. Whether you like Trump or no, he  is doing what he promised to do relative to  wasteful spending and it is working.
