California’s Fraudulent Lifeline to the Dead

Posted on by

No wonder the dead are such a loyal Democrat constituency, considering how much of other people’s money they are given in deep blue California.

Via Breitbart:

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr discussed fraud in the federal Lifeline subsidy program during a Breitbart News policy discussion Tuesday, citing a report from the FCC’s inspector general that found more than 94,000 dead people signed up for benefits in California. …

“The Lifeline program is a federal program that you pay for,” Carr explained. “It is effectively an assessment that appears on your monthly telephone bill. We collect that money, and it goes to do a lot of things, but one of the things it does is to provide subsidies for phone or internet service for low income households.”

Carr says California has been responsible for “vetting to see who’s eligible for Lifeline.” Consequently, the program has degenerated into a looting spree in Gavin Newsom’s Land of Fruits and Nuts, which is as likely to prevent welfare fraud as Tim Walz’s Minnesota.

Good news from Carr:

“So we’ve now revoked California’s authority to conduct its own vetting.”

The bad news is that Newsom could be the next POTUS and would likely take his ruin of California nationwide.

Tim Walz Faceplants at Fraud Hearing

Posted on by

The guy Democrats tried to place a heartbeat away from the presidency was on Capitol Hill yesterday for a fraud hearing held by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. It did not go well for Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

The Daily Signal reports:

The Justice Department, which has indicted almost 100 people for fraud schemes in Minnesota, has estimated the scale of fraud to have potentially exceeded $9 billion since 2018.

Feeding Our Future looted taxpayers for an alleged $250 million. Walz and his liberal media allies at the Minneapolis Star Tribune claimed that a state court ordered the state Education Department to resume payments to this criminal enterprise. The court denies this.

Asked Rep Jim Jordan (R-OH),

“So, the court is lying or you’re lying?”

“I can’t tell you,” answered Tampon Tim.

That’s not all he could not tell the Committee. Rep Nancy Mace (R-SC) wondered if, unlike Ketanji Brown Jackson, he could say what a woman is. He could not. He also does not know his Minnesota math:

CEO in Homeless–Industrial Complex Charged With Misappropriating Over $1.2 Million in Public Funds

Posted on by

The homeless–industrial complex is a lucrative sector of the economy. However, liberal establishment grifters are advised that if they are dumb enough they can still get in trouble, even in deep blue California. National Review reports on Gwendolyn Westbrook, former CEO of the United Council of Human Services:

The former CEO of a San Francisco-based homelessness nonprofit was charged Monday with nine felony counts after allegedly misappropriating more than $1.2 million in public funds.

In addition to the $1.2 million,

Court documents show that other large amounts of money are also missing from UCHS accounts.

Westbrook represents the tip of an iceberg:

The state of California spent $24 billion from 2019 to 2024 to address homelessness but officials are unsure exactly how the money was spent, according to a state audit released last year, which found that no systems were in place to track expenditures.

Regarding the return taxpayers get for their money,

Over the five-year period covered by the audit, California’s homeless population grew by 20 percent, from 151,278 in 2019 to 181,399 in 2023.

From the viewpoint of Gavin Newsom et al., this represents success. Spending other people’s money on homelessness results in more homelessness, which facilitates ever greater access by Democrats to other people’s money.

Foreigners Living Abroad Claim to Be Illegal Aliens to Get Free Healthcare From California

Posted on by

The moonbats running California make it easy for foreigners to luxuriate in taxpayer money. Not only do they not have to be in the country legally, they don’t even have to live here.

Steve Hilton isn’t waiting for Californians to come to their senses and elect him Governor. He is already up and running with the California Department of Government Efficiency (Cal DOGE). With the help of public tips and AI, it is shining light on the outrageous fraud characterizing the misrule of the erstwhile Golden State.

Via LifeZette, Hilton reports on early findings:

“So we’ve received information about doctors prescribing medical health, medical benefits being given to Mexican citizens living in Mexico posing as illegal immigrants in order to benefit from Gavin Newsom’s free healthcare for illegal immigrants.”

Hilton emphasized that, according to the information received, some beneficiaries allegedly do not reside in the United States.

If the goal is to throw Cloward-Piven into overdrive by putting the entire planet on American welfare as has been implied, why should beneficiaries have to go to the trouble of sneaking across the border? Trump has made this difficult until Democrats regain control, so it might introduce hardship.

Make Room for 8.3 Billion

Posted on by

Not even Michelle Wu is too wacky to comprehend this significance of what she is saying:

To quote the Mayor of Boston:

“Every person, every human being, has the legal right to come to the United States and seek asylum or shelter.”

The population of Earth is 8.3 billion. A large majority could make more money sponging off welfare in the USA than they could working in their own countries.

Democrats have been implementing the eradication of American civilization via mass immigration and the welfare state. That is the purpose of Biden’s open border and the current campaign against ICE.

Why Somalis Do Not Die

Posted on by

Somali welfare colonists are very special people; just ask any Democrat politician in Minnesota or Maine. They are so special, they appear to be immortal. A guest on Shawn Ryan’s podcast reports a lack of reports of Somali deaths:

As noted at Revolver News:

Well, we all know the Somalis come from a long line of pirates who’ve been known to pillage the American people like it’s going out of style. So it’s no wonder people are now questioning if Somalis’ dead are being hidden so they can continue to cash in on government freebies like housing, EBT, Medicaid, and other programs.

In possibly related news, via Breitbart:

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr announced Tuesday that the agency will vote next month on proposals to remove fraud from the Lifeline program, which provided taxpayer dollars to pay for phone and internet services for more than 116,000 dead people. …

Carr’s announcement followed a report from the Federal Communications Commission Office of Inspector General (FCC OIG), which found startling levels of fraud in the program. …

The fraud includes “at least 16,774, and potentially as many as 39,362, deceased people, [who] were first enrolled and then claimed by a provider after they died (i.e. they were deceased at the time of enrollment.)”

That’s just free communication services. Imagine how much loot fraudsters are pulling in through more extravagant programs.

Now let’s consider the Democrat viewpoint. If dead people can vote, why shouldn’t they be able to collect welfare? Since illegal aliens vote in Maine, why shouldn’t they keep sponging off Americans even after they are dead?

Almost All Afghan Households With Offspring Are on Welfare

Posted on by

Somali colonists have stolen as much as $9 billion from US taxpayers in Minnesota alone. That is only the tip of the iceberg. Combining open borders with the welfare state has predictably produced the largest looting spree the world has ever seen.

Consider Afghans. Via Breitbart:

Census data shows that almost all Afghan households with children are on publicly funded welfare — similar to that of Somali immigrant households with children in Minnesota, where 81 percent of such households are on at least one form of welfare.

Eighty-five percent of Afghan households with children are on welfare. The more offspring they produce, the more free money they get.

Meanwhile, Democrats demonize ICE as they fight tooth and nail to prevent even the colonists here illegally from being deported. If they regain the White House and Congress, the floodgates will be opened all the way.

This isn’t sustainable. It isn’t intended to be. Originally, the Cloward-Piven plan called for collapsing the US economy through excessive government spending so as to impose communism. The malice goes deeper now. They want to enslave us to Third World invaders en route to eradicating us entirely through demographic displacement.

New York to Minnesota: Hold My Beer

Posted on by

Looks like we have a response from New York regarding the up to $9 billion in Somali welfare fraud in Minnesota, much of it centering on phony childcare operations.

Watch Governor Kathy Hochul boast that New York will blow a staggering $4.5 billion on childcare this year:

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani smugly asserts that much of the money will go into the pockets of home-based providers:

Given the context of current events, this is an open invitation to fraud.

Like Minnesota, New York is becoming a colony of the Third World, as evidenced by Mamdani’s sickening rise to power. Democrat politicians facilitate fraud not only to pander for votes, but because they regard it as another form of the wealth redistribution they so love. Welfare fraud is social justice.
