Seems that the level of somali foreign led Medicaid fraud is extremely high, much higher than we first thought…Not just Minnesota, but everywhere there is a significant portion of Somali refugees (there may be other ethnicities that are simply not making the news) like Pennsylvania, Ohio, and the Carolinas and North Dakota….Now we can add Washington State AND DC….Looks like hundreds of millions of Medicaid dollars…which makes it Federal.

But where are the feds? Too busy using sharpies to redact the names of visitors to Epstein’s Island? Hiding the customs and immigration logs from the Virgin Island government?

C’mon, do we need to get a separate fraud division that is not under Pamela’s control?

Or is she in on it, getting kickbacks like many of the managers of those Medicaid programs that re being ripped off (you can’t tell me they didn’t know)…

What does it take for the Department of Justice to actually do something?

Once again, WHERE ARE THE FEDS?

*and where is the major Media on this?  (hiding it because it looks bad for Democrats?)

70F to 9F in about 18 hours

Calm to 18 gusting 30 MPH

Light mist to light snow.

Gotta love it.

Luckily I have the woodstove fixed so I can be comfortable without burring expensive natural gas.

Especially since I am still not back to what passes for normal for me.

( I may be oversharing)

So I am generally healthy….I mostly don’t get sick. Maybe a cold (Could be Covid!!!) but other than a winter case of the sniffles I am generally health. Bugs that take out entire segments of the population for days simply (usually) pass me by.

Until yesterday.

There I was, working in the garage, cutting some wood for a project, and then I felt dizzy, queasy, and somewhat unsteady. Not the sort of condition one should be when operating an unguarded 10 inch table saw…

So I went inside, drank some gatorade, sat down for a half-hour, decided it wasn’t getting better anytime soon, and put the saw and my work away. (I like having all my fingers, and being dizzy and unsteady and kinda woozy around a table saw is not the recipe for keeping them all attached).

I put things away, closed the garage door, went back inside, decided to lay down for a bit.

Nope.

The rumble in my guts told me that being tangled in blankets might be a bad idea.

I changed into a pair of sweats for easy escape,….Forward thinking that……

About a half hour later, I appreciated my foresight. Projectile pooping…with seconds of notice.

After that episode came the explosive vomiting.. I hate puking. I forgot how bad it can be. I haven’t been sick like this for a decade

Or is it explosive diarrheia and projectile vomiting? It happened both ways.

Luckily, my plumbing was up top the task. What a miserable few hours though. Even the cat felt sorry for me.

Either way, my Saturday evening plans changed drastically, and I didn’t leave the house all of Sunday day.

Blogging my be light for a while as I am somewhat uninspired.

I hate the feeling of weakness this brings.

Damnit, I got things to do!

If you can’t define it in less than a sentence you are probably lying (Or you have no idea what you are talking about)

“Don’t Eat UltraProcessed foods”

CBS had an “expert” telling us not to eat “Ultraprocessed” foods..

But when asked what makes a food “Ultraprocessed” there was no clear definition.

“Basically, read the ingredients….if you can’t pronounce what is in it then it is probably ultraprocessed and that is probably bad for you”.

I can’t believe they allow “experts” like this on national TV to spread their pseudoscience beliefs.

The worst part is that other women will believe what this lady said and.

that the Department of “Justice” is finally releasing the (or at least “a” version of) the Epstein files,…

WHERE are the ARRESTS….Pamela?

When do we see some folks Perp Walked? At least some indictments? Hell, at this point, just name some Names…..

I don’t care who they are, Dems (likely) Republicans (nearly as likely) Senators, Congressmen, Judges, Rich people…..Heads of state for Other countries…. Government people….I really don’t care.

You redacted all those names and all that data…Pages and Pages of it……not all of the redactions were underage women “Victims” names. Who are you protecting?

Just hold someone accountable.

Even if it is Donald Trump Hisself.

I get it, it’ll cause a shitstorm. Once one person is named, he/she will name others….the mess will be epic.

I. Don’t. Care.

Do it. Be something. DO YOUR JOB. Charge someone. Let them face a trial.

Edited to add:

Apparently the FBI and the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York “suddenly and unexpectedly” found a million more documents in their offices…..   Odd that they just found them…where (and especially HOW) does one “accidentally” lose (or hide) a MILLION pages?….(Did they just announce it only after they had sanitized them, or were their targets for blackmail suddenly exposed by other documents so these pages  no longer had value?)

And a question: Who is gonna get fired for the “loss”  (or hiding) of all these documents that the taxpayers paid for in those offices gets fired for their incompetence ?

May all of my readers have a Merry Christmas.

Yes, even the Jewish and Druidic and Muslim readers….Take the greeting as it is meant. Today is Christmas. Enjoy it for what it is and what we celebrate it for.

For the rest: Remember WHY we celebrate this day with the giving of gifts and of fellowship.

You can disagree, but then you’d be wrong.

“Only a strong hand with a sword can truly protect the weak”

“If they act like they don’t care, believe them”

“Sometimes wrong turns lead you to exactly where you belong”

“Discipline is choosing what you want over what you want right now”

“Let go or be dragged….”

“Relationships end. How you behave afterwards demonstrates your character”

“Nothing in this world that’s worth having comes easy.”

“Stand for something,”

“Never trust a man who uses a Knife and Fork to eat Fried Chicken”

Hard to believe:

Primerica Investments sent me a Real, Honest to God, Christmas card.

Not a mealy mouthed “Holiday Greetings” card,

Not a “Seasons Greetings” card.

A real Christmas card. It actually had the words “Merry Christmas” on it.

I am impressed.

Maybe the Corporate assholes finally figured out who their customers are and decided to throw Political Correctness out the window.
