KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Trump’s Obsession With Election Integrity Will Save the Republic. “While Senate Jellyfish Majority Leader John Thune keeps riding the Useless Wuss train rather than pass the SAVE America Act, President Trump is making sure that discussions regarding shoring up our vulnerable election processes stay front and center.”

I DON’T KNOW, I CAN IMAGINE QUITE A BIT: Fraud: More Than We Can Imagine?
The U.S. government spends more than $900 billion annually on Medicaid. How much of that money is stolen by criminals? HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. pegs the theft total at $100 billion.
…
The theft is incredibly brazen. And I suspect Kennedy’s $100 billion estimate may be low. In Minnesota, the authorities have estimated that at least one-half of the total spending on 14 Medicaid programs went to fraud. While our state government is uniquely incompetent, it may well be that other states approach those numbers. The fraud is probably less with regard to bills from doctors, clinics and hospitals, but there too, it is substantial, usually in the form of upcoding.
That’s from John Hinderaker, who wonders “whether a central purpose of our government is to fund crime.”
Just going by the numbers? Yes.

THIS ONE GOT LOST IN THE WEEKEND SHUFFLE: U.S. Marines Board Wen Yao Tanker as Washington Steps Up Maritime Pressure on Iran. “According to CENTCOM, American forces have now redirected three commercial vessels attempting to breach the blockade, disabled one vessel that failed to comply with U.S. instructions, and boarded the M/T Wen Yao to verify full compliance with the ongoing U.S. naval blockade against Iran. CENTCOM added that the Strait of Hormuz and surrounding waters remain open to international navigation, except for vessels attempting to violate what it described as America’s ‘steel wall blockade.’ The announcement signals that Washington is pursuing a selective maritime enforcement campaign focused on vessels suspected of violating blockade measures rather than restricting legitimate international commerce.”
No word on what became of Wen Yao after the boarding.
MEDIA… I HATE THOSE GUYS:
Minnesota’s largest paper actually figured out a way to shove January 6th into this as a way to excuse an illegal immigrant who sexually assaulted a child.

And here is what Charles Cooke was replying to: “Democratic Socialist co-chair Ashik Siddique says the DSA would abolish the Senate: ‘We do believe that government should be proportional to the population… We just don’t see the point of the Senate.'”
SAME REASON HILLARY DOES IT — THEIR AUDIENCES EAT IT UP:
I'll admit to having struggled to find coherence or consistency in liberal rules of identity politics.

I’ve never understood the desire to be pandered to in that way, but apparently, Democrat audiences love it.
UPDATE (From Ed): Indeed they do. From last year: She Don’t Feel No Ways Tired: Nancy Pelosi Chews Up Six Minutes Claiming Democrats Didn’t Move America ‘Too Far To The Left.’
“[T]here are certain people in the country who don’t want to see … women, LGBTQ people, people of color, immigrants taking their place in anything,” she said. “And that’s just the way it is. That’s their problem. That’s not America’s problem. America is this great country with this beautiful diversity.”
Pelosi also ranted about her Catholic views to claim she valued all different types of people — before appearing to attack Republicans while seeming to use a southern accent.
“You’re people of faith? You go to church on Sunday and pray in church on Sunday and prey on people the rest of the week. What is this? What is this?” she asked, laughing.
“Pelosi chuckles, but not even the moderator or Harvard student crowd seems to find it funny:”

There’s no doubt that Pelosi already has the support of Zohran Mamdani, Hilaria Baldwin, Jasmine Crockett, Kamala Harris, and Hillary Clinton, but seems little interested in growing the party’s base much beyond the code-switching far left:

Meet Andy Burnham, Britain's soon to be new PM.

• Nobody asked for him
• He is haunted by allegations over his handling of the rape gangs
• His main concern seems to be that Starmer wasn't enough of a tyrant

BEEGE: Maine Dems Dump Rape-y Nazi and Get a Freak Parade.
I thought, since I love you all so much, I would set you up for the weekend first thing with a big old helping of the steaming Carnival Side Show tryout mess the Democratic Party of Maine held last night, cleverly disguised as the Maine Democrat U.S. Senate Debate.
Oh, the little dickens – they almost had us fooled. ALMOST.
And then these stellar individuals, like, opened their mouths, and poof! All of a sudden, a hairy, rapey, fake oystering Nazi MAKES PERFECT SENSE.
Oh, gosh, I can’t wait for you to meet them.
There were two back-to-back debates of a slate of four at a time, and some were just so darn memorable.
One of the sterling individuals on the stage was Shenna Bellows, Maine’s infamous Secretary of State. I say ‘infamous’ because you might remember her attempt to keep Trump off the Maine GOP primary ballot over the insurrection clause until crushed like a bug by SCOTUS.
So much more at the link.
Meanwhile:
Maine voters: "Can we have just one more look at the guy with the Nazi tattoo?"

Of course, this was the concern discussed during President Trump’s speech on Thursday night.”

LATE BUT WELCOME: US Air Force turns to cheaper cruise missiles it can buy by the thousands. “The deals fall under the U.S. Air Force’s Family of Affordable Mass Missiles program, or FAMM. The Defense Department said it reached agreements with Anduril for its Barracuda-500, CoAspire for its Rapidly Adaptable Affordable Cruise Missile and Zone 5 Technologies for its Rusty Dagger.”
You can’t help but notice that none of the old, established defense contractors are on that list.
