US OUT OF THE UN, UN OUT OF THE US:
Never forget that the UN fired genocide expert Alice Nderitu for refusing to call the war in Gaza “genocide.”
She did say, however, that Hamas’s October 7th massacre targeted Jews with genocidal intent.
Fire the expert, protect the lie—that’s the UN. pic.twitter.com/dfPxxfvnRH

ANY PORT IN A STORM: Wanted Criminal Migrant Caught Posing as Statue in Nativity Scene. “The bizarre scene unfolded in the small town of Galatone, in southern Italy’s Puglia region. Mayor Flavio Filoni noticed the imposter while observing the outdoor holiday exhibit. At first, he thought the life-sized setup looked so realistic that he considered praising the organizers—until one of the ‘figures’ suddenly shifted.”
Up next: Lefties suddenly reverse course and defend the sanctity of Nativity displays.
IT’S THEFT ALL THE WAY DOWN:
Less than five minutes on this site and I’ve already found over $32M in SBA 7(a) loans to eight Indian gas stations in Texas.
Such highly skilled human capital that they need to run gas stations with our tax-backed loans. All they do is commit fraud, bleeding us dry. https://t.co/gHPDTn7hWx pic.twitter.com/l6dHoXStca

IT’S THEFT, ALL THE WAY DOWN: Shocking unearthed footage shows parents pretending to drop kids off at a Minnesota day care center.
Shocking unearthed video from a 2018 state fraud case shows Minnesota parents dropping their children off at a day care center and then leaving with the kids moments later — as authorities probe a rampant billion-dollar fraud scheme in Minneapolis.
In the surveillance footage, dated 2015 and obtained by Fox 9, parents are seen signing their kids into the facility so providers could bill the state for full days of care for children who didn’t actually attend.
On some days, no families would even show up at all, but the day cares would still claim reimbursements from the government, the outlet reported at the time.
The alleged phony day care centers also gave kickbacks to parents involved.
The clips — which were recorded in 2015 but only came to light in 2018 — resurfaced amid outrage sparked by a viral video from independent journalist Nick Shirley that showed multiple child care centers in Minnesota that had received millions in state funding despite appearing inactive.
US Education Secretary Linda McMahon called the alleged fraud a “breathtaking failure.”
Not until they got caught — and maybe not even then, depending on what, if anything, happens next.
ANALYSIS: TRUE.
Mass migration does not fix labor shortages. It makes it worse.
The reason is migrants reshuffle labor.
We end up with too many low-skill workers. And a brand new shortage of doctors, dentists, and schoolteachers. pic.twitter.com/bfYuQNB0TM

I DON’T KNOW IF HE CAN DO THAT, BUT I’M ALREADY LONG ON POPCORN, SO GO FOR IT: Trump threatens to sue Fed Chair Jerome Powell for ‘gross incompetence.’ “The president hinted that the lawsuit would be connected to the increasing cost of renovations to Federal Reserve buildings, stating that the chairman has allowed the expected cost to skyrocket.”

ROBERT SPENCER: Minnesotans Complained to RINO Congressman Years Ago About Somalis. This Is the Response They Got. “Now that those Somalis have perpetrated a multi-billion-dollar welfare fraud scheme, Emmer’s callous indifference to their concerns looks even worse than it did when he first yawned in the faces of his worried constituents, and chided them for not being more open to diversity.”
ANALYSIS: TRUE.
Correct.
My Tesla and SpaceX shares, which are almost all my “wealth”, only go up in value as a function of how much useful product those companies produce and service.

SPACE IS HARD, BUT SO IS CLEANLINESS: ‘Stop and re-check everything’: Scientists discover 26 new bacterial species in NASA’s cleanrooms. “Earlier this year, scientists identified more than two dozen previously unknown bacterial species lurking in the Kennedy Space Center cleanrooms in Florida, where NASA assembled its Phoenix Mars Lander in 2007. The discovery showed that despite constant scrubbing, harsh cleaning chemicals and extreme nutrient scarcity, some microbes evolved a suite of genetic tricks that allowed them to persist in these punishing environments.”

HEY, BIG SPENDER: OpenAI offering over half a million a year salary for ‘stressful’ job.
ChatGPT’s parent company OpenAI is looking to hire a “Head of Preparedness.” According to a job posting on the company website, the role is focused on leading “technical strategy and execution” around OpenAI’s “approach to tracking and preparing for frontier capabilities that create new risks of severe harm.”
“This role requires deep technical judgement, clear communication, and the ability to guide complex work across multiple risk domains,” the job posting continues.
It also pays over half a million dollars a year, $555,000 to be specific.
OpenAI CEO and co-founder Sam Altman calls the job a “critical role at an important time.”
He goes on to say that “models are improving quickly and are now capable of many great things, but they are also starting to present some real challenges.”
Those problems, according to Altman include AI’s potential impact on mental health. The job posting also mentions mitigation of other major risk factors, including cyber and bio attacks.
“If you want to help the world figure out how to enable cybersecurity defenders with cutting edge capabilities while ensuring attackers can’t use them for harm, ideally by making all systems more secure, and similarly for how we release biological capabilities and even gain confidence in the safety of running systems that can self-improve, please consider applying,” Altman said in a post on X.
Maybe those guardrails work on LLMs, but if Artificial General Intelligence is self-programming, what’s to stop it from removing puny human guardrails?
IT’S THEFT, ALL THE WAY DOWN:
If welfare and redistribution were really about helping people, then their proponents should care *more* about fraud. That’s money not going to the stated purpose of these programs. Their hostility to all scrutiny proves their stated goals were always lies. It’s just patronage. https://t.co/83N8mkJ9cr

The scale of fraud in this county might just be the biggest story since 9/11 or the West’s victory in the Cold War — and the Complicit Media is largely uninterested.
Is their studied disinterest purely ideological, or are they somehow in on the theft?
