Not a bad week for the Administration which has, inter alia, gelded his domestic opposition, the UN, WHO, and the WEF, forced Trudeau into retirement, and exposed the EU as a collection of toothless poseurs.
Grifting
The unveiling of the USAID’s scandalous misappropriation of money continues. This week, MSNBC tried to toss a lifesaver to Stacey Abrams, asking her to explain the $2 billion allotted to her pop-up nonprofit by the EPA when she lacked all experience for managing so much money. Didn’t work. In fact, her own words underscore that this was a Democrat party grift. She claimed it was to be used to buy energy-saving appliances for people who could not otherwise afford them. In other words, a new, more expensive remake of the Obama phone giveaway. Imagine how Stacey would allocate this pelf. Then ask yourself why taxpayers should buy appliances for and from Stacey’s friends and supporters, which in the end cost more than they save in energy costs. And if you think that makes sense, ask why the EPA didn’t cut out the middle(wo)man and offer rebates directly?
This grift was of a piece with even larger grifts exposed by the Administration.
12 billion dollars was allocated to the Navy for submarines and not one submarine was built. 42.5 billion dollars was allocated to hook people up to high-speed Internet, and not one single person was hooked up to high-speed Internet. 7.5 billion dollars was allocated to build EV charging stations. Only 37 stations were built. That’s 200 million per charging station. Where is the rest of the money?
Just as the details of the Democrats’ financial rape of taxpayers is daily exposed, their “party of kindness” pitch evaporated during the President’s joint address to both houses of Congress this week.

I am afraid some in both parties were part of the grifting, but the ‘RAT party were in the lead.
So many people are going to jail that the prison and correctional services industry might just be the next big growth sector.
“Everything about socialism is sham and affectation.” Bastiat.

We have "fiber-to-nowhere" right outside our door. The local government couldn’t wait to spend that money!
That’s totally incorrect. Of the $7.5 billion spent on charging stations, only 8 (WAPO says 7) charging stations were built. (Motivala, 2024)

At $500 each, that is 24 million appliances.
May the trials coincide with the midterms.

Stacy Abrams claimed the $2B tax dollars Biden gave
her was to buy and sell “energy-saving appliances.”
In other words, a new, more expensive remake of the Obama phone giveaway.
Ask yourself why taxpayers would want to buy “appliances” from Stacey,
which in the end will cost them more than they save in energy costs.
Then ask why the EPA needed Stacey..... and didnt offer rebates directly?
