Do I understand this correctly?

JD Vance is threatening to withhold 1.3 billion in Medicaide payments to California because he believes, no proof offered, the state doesn't do enough to eliminate fraud, which he's offered no proof of. This is money Californians have paid in their taxes to receive a service that is essential to their staying the **** alive and healthy.

This is also the same administration that is giving 10 billion dollars of our tax money to Trump in one of the biggest examples of federal fraud ever witnessed. If Vance is the fraud czar, WTF isn't he watching that shit? Because he is in on it, obviously.

**** these people. That's our money.

Newsom's Former Chief of Staff Pleads Guilty to Fraud

As I described here, Dana Williamson was Gov. Newsom's chief-of-staff from early 2023 until then end of 2024. She was dismissed after revealing to her boss that she was under investigation.

Today, Williamson accepted a plea deal related to charges brought against her for fraud. The fraud in question also involved Xavier Becerra, who is currently a leading candidate to replace Newsom as governor.

Quote
One of California’s most influential power brokers pleaded guilty to three felonies on Thursday in a corruption case that has reverberated through the State Capitol and spurred attacks on a Democratic front-runner in the volatile race for governor.

That powerful figure, Dana Williamson, appeared in federal court in Sacramento, where she accepted reduced charges and pleaded guilty to lying to the F.B.I., filing a false tax return and conspiracy to commit bank fraud and wire fraud...
...
Becerra is connected to the case but so far only as a victim.

Quote
The alleged scheme saw Williamson siphon campaign funds from Becerra’s state campaign account to pad the salary of his chief of staff, Sean McCluskie. McCluskie and another alleged co-conspirator, lobbyist Greg Campbell, accepted plea deals around the time Williamson was indicted and are scheduled for sentencing on June 4.

“As part of an investigation that began in 2022, Williamson joins the two others who were charged in the ‘Conduit Scheme’ conspiracy in pleading guilty,” said U.S. Attorney Eric Grant in a statement. “These conspirators, three of whom are former public officials, shockingly looted campaign funds for personal benefit. Our office and our law enforcement partners will continue working to protect the integrity of the electoral process and ensure that those who scorn the law are held accountable.”

1. Becerra's campaign was so loosely administered that Williamson and McCluskie looted it. Not a good look for Becerra.

2, Noisome had her as chief of staff while the Feds were investigating her. Did he know? Or did LIEden's Feds fail to warn Noisome? Not a good look for Noisome and/or LIEden's FBI.

DU's favorite kind of source: Anonymous.

Always laugh when I read crap like that "according to sources who wish to remain anonymous". Which is code to me as: "Some guy or gal told me this at a bar".

Remember that the usual refrain from the grabbers is: The authors of the 2nd Amendment only had muzzle loaders* and couldn't possibly imagine the destructive potential of semiautomatic rifles in the hands of civilians.

Well, now the goalposts are about to move again...

The Associated Press posted a short video that appeared to highlight what it called a lack of regulation of flintlock muskets Thursday morning.

Under federal law, flintlock muskets fall into the definition of “antique firearms” under the language of 18 USC 921(16), which exempts them from many of the regulations and laws at the federal level, as well as in most states. In a caption for the video posted on X Thursday morning, the AP noted that while a musket could fire a projectile at 1,000 feet per second, it was exempt from gun regulations under federal law.

Black cemetery in Florida vandalized, ‘Trump’ graffitied on graves

PALMETTO, Florida, May 14 (Reuters) – Police in Florida are investigating vandalism at a historic, predominantly African American cemetery where 17 gravesites were damaged, with headstones knocked down and “Trump” and “DeSantis” spray-painted in red letters on tombs, referring to the U.S. politicians. 

Detectives believe the incident in Palmetto, a town around 31 miles (50 km) south of Tampa on Florida’s west coast, occurred within the past few weeks. No arrests have been made and the investigation continues, the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement on Tuesday.

Glenn Searls, 77, said on Wednesday he felt “extreme anger” at the vandalism at the Old Memphis Cemetery, where members of his family, and others he knows, are buried.

“When you look and you see ‘DeSantis’ and ‘Trump’ spray-painted on a vault, it makes you wonder if it’s politically motivated, and I tend to believe it is,” Searls said of damage to the cemetery established in 1904 for Black residents of Palmetto’s Memphis neighborhood.

The latter half of this brief article is Reuters's lies about Trump. That said, yeah, I think the motivation for this vandalism was political, specifically a Hate-Trump and -DeSantis false-flag hoax.

Some sciences and "sciences" do not have, "Based on what we have now," in their vocabulary. Our understanding of Neanderthals has been further complicated by a certain racist Englishman's origins theory.
