No pledge of allegiance: Awesome

Marching through the Capitol building carrying American flags: Treason

I'm not a traitor to America. I refuse to be a part of whatever country you think you are going to form.

It isn't the high-achievers that we're worried about; it's the deliberate lowering of academic standards at some schools, and schools where astounding numbers of students can't read or do math.

Does anyone have a clue why Verizon discontinuing 411 service is threadworthy?

I don't have an answer. It looks like other companies have been slowly getting rid of it, since you can get information online.

DOJ Charges 15 Over $90 Million Minnesota Fraud Schemes

https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/doj-charges-15-in-90-million-minnesota-fraud-schemes-6034048?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=BonginoReport&src_src=partner&src_cmp=BonginoReport

Criminal charges have been filed against 15 accused fraudsters in Minnesota, involving more than $90 million in taxpayers’ dollars, federal officials announced on May 21 at a news conference in Minneapolis.

“Today, we are holding scammers accountable who ripped off the American taxpayer and harmed those deserving legitimate assistance from these programs,” acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement.

According to the Department of Justice (DOJ), the 15 defendants charged under the so-called Minnesota Health Care Fraud Takedown initiative include owners of child care centers as well as multiple Medicaid providers, including those involved in the two largest Medicaid fraud cases for which charges have ever been brought in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota.
 
“These alleged con artists stole taxpayer dollars while providing substandard care for children and abandoning at least one Medicaid recipient as they passed away,” Blanche said, listing some of the worst offenses alleged in the charges.

This is Medicaid fraud - Federally funded but state oversight. In this case, AGAIN, lack of oversight (Wink! Wink!), akin to the "Feeding Our Future" lack of oversight (Wink! Wink!) by the State of Minnesota.

Trump's and Vance's anti-fraud effort is looking like trying to cleaning out the Augean stables without a river to help with the clean-out.

Nolte: ‘Supergirl’ Actress Continues to Implode with Ridicule of ‘Christian Dads’

https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2026/05/22/nolte-supergirl-actress-continues-to-implode-with-ridicule-of-christian-dads/

Quote
Public relations genius and Supergirl star Milly Alcock has decided alienating, insulting, and antagonizing the mostly male superhero fanbase is the way to go.
...
Back in March, this delicate, little, entitled princess,  who currently stars in a major HBO show and will soon arrive on 4,000 screens as the title character in the $250 million Supergirl, actually played the victim:

Quote
Milly Alcock told Vanity Fair in a new interview that she’s aware she’ll face backlash over leading Warner Bros. “Supergirl” simply because she’s playing a female superhero. ...

“It definitely made me aware that simply existing as a woman in that space is something that people comment on,” Alcock said. “We have become very comfortable having this weird ownership of women’s bodies. I can’t really stop them. I can only be myself.”
...
Let’s all bring out the violins for the 25-year-old millionaire living a dream life. Worse still, she’s not only LARPing as a victim, but as — lol — some kind of trailblazer.

Lynda Carter would like a word, child.
...
There was no backlash against the Wonder Woman series 50 years ago. No backlash against Ripley in Alien and Aliens over 40 years ago. Linda Hamilton? Pam Grier? Buffy? All of them loved, embraced, and are now iconic.

Anyway, after starting this fight back in March, Little Miss Entitled-Fake-Trailblazer is now responding to the criticism she desperately sought by ridiculing “Christian Dads.”

“I guess women know that this is just how it’s always been, unfortunately,” Alcock said of the criticism over her retarded comments back in March. “And it’s from a lot of people whose profiles have no photo, who are burner accounts. Or someone’s name and then ‘Dad of four, Christian,’ which is hilarious to me. But I mean, whose opinion do you really care about? If you’re pissing the right kind of people off, you’re doing OK.”

1. The first Supergirl comic was published in 1958 (I had to look it up). The strong female hero Wilma Deering was introduced in the first Buck Rogers novel in 1928. In the book, Wilma assumes leadership of her band when Buck was captured and after a time led his rescue. Strong female heroes have been accepted in US cultures for at least a century.

2. Alienating a large percentage of your potential audience is almost never wise. Ask the Ditzy Tricks how bashing GWB worked for them, and ask Kathy the Griffin how her Trump-Head stunt worked out for her.
