Most Americans are spending time with their families this weekend for Memorial Day, remembering and honoring those who gave their lives for our country.
But some were busy doing other things. For example, there were activists at the ICE detention center in Newark, N.J., over the weekend. Democratic politicians also made an appearance. Sen. Andy Kim (D-NJ) was trying to get into the facility on Sunday.
Kim was back on Monday. Gov. Mikie Sherrill also showed up.QuoteA Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson said Kim personally called Secretary Markwayne Mullin, and that he was allowed in the facility to conduct his congressional oversight responsibilities. However, the spokesperson criticized Sherrill over the appearance at the detention center.
"Governor Sherrill’s visit to Delaney Hall is nothing more than a political stunt on Memorial Day when visitation is currently suspended due to riots outside the facility," the spokesperson told Fox News Digital. "Yesterday, approximately 125 agitators surrounded Delaney Hall Detention Facility, many carrying anti-ICE signs and Antifa flags. They formed a human chain around entrances to the facility and set up barricades, blocking all entries and exits."
The activists were at it again on Monday. Here's one digging up large blocks to help add to their blockade of an exit from the facility.
...
Here's the blockade they assembled, with all the random garbage they were able to grab.
...
Kim was telling the activists to let the agents through the blockades, saying he would make sure there were no detainees in the vehicles. Here on X.
Police reportedly had to deploy pepper spray, and carted away some of the agitators. Here on X.
And it looks like Kim may have been affected.

Politics / DOJ Brings on 15 More Medicaid Prosecutors Amid Fraud Crackdown

Whether this is a change from 5 years of DOJ process or 40 years of DOJ process, taking and prosecuting Medicaid fraud seriously should not be a change.

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has announced authorization for more than a dozen new Medicaid prosecutors as its efforts to stamp out mass fraud expand across our nation.
The news was part of a series of announcements from the DOJ and federal healthcare agencies last Friday, May 22. Federal officials also revealed charges against 15 more Minnesota fraudsters, who represented about $90 million in stolen taxpayer money. Among the charges were the two largest Medicaid fraud cases in the history of Minnesota as well as unique charges relevant to Medicaid, never before brought. The DOJ made all of the announcements in a May 22 press release.
U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen, Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Assistant Attorney General Colin M. McDonald, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Mehmet Oz, and FBI Co-Deputy Director Christopher Raia announced the charges, according to the press release.QuoteWhile in Minnesota, Assistant Attorney General Colin M. McDonald also announced the expansion of the Health Care Fraud Midwest Strike Force, bringing additional law enforcement resources to prosecute fraud in Minnesota, and the hiring of 15 additional prosecutors dedicated to combating Medicaid fraud nationwide.
“This is just the beginning,” McDonald told the public. “With the support of President Trump, Vice President Vance, Acting Attorney General Blanche, Chairman Ferguson and the White House Anti-Fraud Task Force, Secretary Kennedy, Dr. Oz and his team, and the entire federal fraud-fighting apparatus, the Department of Justice will continue expanding our reach across the country to pursue all fraud, no matter how large, no matter how small, no matter how hard.”
Whether this is a change from 5 years of DOJ process or 40 years of DOJ process, taking and prosecuting Medicaid fraud seriously should not be a change.

The broken racists and people who voted for him are a big part of the problem and they are not going away.
Besides not being "white", what do these people have in common?

1. I am not sure about that, is it the chicken or the egg?
The broken racists
The Democrat party is the home of racism. Perhaps you should look up the Civil War and the KKK, Beverly.

We also have dysfunctional political parties, with a lot of do-nothing RINOs on one side, and on the other... I don't quite know what to call the Democrats, so I will settle for calling them a cluster****.
