Daycare Scammers Get Scooped Up in San Diego and Patel Drops a BOOMITY

There were some incredible fireworks from FBI Director Kash Patel's testimony in front of the Senate yesterday.

I mean, any time I hear Spartacus warm up his pipes and get a well-deserved smackdown in return that also takes out sleazy Adam Schiff, it just puts a smile on my face.

But what was really the meat of the matter, if you can get through the blowhard Democratic theater kids and their performances to get material for campaign ads, were the (crime decrease) statistics that Patel brought with him.
...
The Department of Justice, the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Homeland Security, and the FBI are tearing up the fraud industry, too. Just like the crime numbers, so many people will pooh-pooh, 'Oh, it's just $10 million' or 'when do we get it back,' and not once look at the fact that shutting down these operations wholesale, the way this administration has been, is the start, and the savings going forward we've needed, at a rate no one ever did before.
...
Another massive operation just yielded multiple arrests in San Diego last Thursday...

...USA v. Mohamad Salim Alawad and USA v. Mazin Salim Alawad are set to be announced at a federal press conference on childcare fraud.

According to divorce court records I researched, Mohamad claimed he was making $20,000 per month from his daycare.

Alawad, Mohamad Family Child Care

He also owned Safe Journey Transportation Inc., a non-emergency transportation company, with his brother Mazin, who is also charged. So he had a daycare and a NEMT company.
...
These were ghost daycare schemes. Lots of daycares and no children.
Quote
Twelve individuals are facing federal fraud charges after an investigation revealed that more than $10 million intended to help low-income families pay for childcare was instead funneled to bogus daycare providers.

In a coordinated takedown early Thursday morning, more than 250 federal, state and local law enforcement officials arrested all 12 defendants and executed 12 search warrants at homes in San Diego purported to be used as daycare facilities. The defendants are naturalized U.S. citizens and Lawful Permanent Residents originally from Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Afghanistan, and Iraq.

I can certainly understand why Kash Patel POs Dems, SoCal's Schifftyroo, especially. BTW, he also smacked down obnoxoid Mazie Hirono, who was trying to falsely claim he had not responded to her demand for certain information. Patel retorted by pointing out to her that the response had been posted online quite a while ago and was publicly available.

The Left Is Obsessed With Destroying Sydney Sweeney

Sydney Sweeney, unlike most prominent celebrities who dominate popular culture, doesn't talk about politics, even when asked.

You get no lectures from her about the issues of the day. She neither waves the flag nor kneels when the national anthem is sung. She acts, does ads, and does the required media availabilities, which is another way to say that she does her job without presuming to tell us what to think or bullying us into feeling guilty about anything.

Other celebrities have followed that policy, but they let themselves be bullied into becoming advocates, or indulged in the practice once their celebrity status was secured. Taylor Swift was a notable case; for years she stayed out of politics, but when she was attacked as a white supremacist icon (really?! says who?), she started doing advocacy all the time.

The one thing we know about her politics is that she is a registered Republican, and when you put that together with the obvious fact that white men (and non-white men) find her attractive, she has been coded by the Left as "MAGA."
...
Leftists are going nuts over the ad, claiming that she is degrading women's sports by using her feminine body to sell sex to men instead of uplifting women's achievements.

Posing (mostly) nude focuses on the bodies, not the achievements. How dare she?
...
This argument is, of course, bovine excrement. Lots of female athletes have done provocative photoshoots(embedded link), including completely nude ones.

It's just that they are all social justice warriors, and certainly not Republicans. If a Republican does what a leftist does, it is bad, because the person, not the action, is what determines the moral worth of the action.

(embedded X post showing seven female athletes' nude magazine cover photos))

Exposing females athlete whiners' hypocrisy was easy, showing those athletes' less than amazing memory and intellectual prowess.

I take it that QueerDuck thinks that MAGAs and conservatives are anti-vaxxers, despite the Trump Administration having funded and supported Covid vaccine development, testing, and Federal level distribution.

Being an old dude, a former homeschooler, and having hung out on homeschooling discussion sites, I can say from conversation observation that many anti-vaxxers are Lib/Prog.

The world does not lack for beautiful women, so her beauty does not fascinate, but the AWFL's poutrage and Sweeney's game of trolling them for fun and profit is very :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: .

1. As a former school nurse
I thought the same thing.

Wait till parents have to scramble to find childcare ( if they can)when their unvaccinated child/children are excluded from school.
Or the week or 2 when their child has the measles or chickenpox.

2. I got to think that people who don't get their children vaccinated don't care anything about their fellow human beings
It’s not just a personal decision. It affects everybody.

4. They don't particularly care about
their children either.

Someone who is willing to have their child die of a preventable disease isn't likely to care about any human being but themselves.

American Eagle CEO Says Company Stands Behind Sydney Sweeney Ads

https://www.theepochtimes.com/entertainment/american-eagle-ceo-says-company-stands-behind-sydney-sweeney-ads-5923270

Bullies need to be faced down, and American Eagle has been rewarded for doing that by existing and new customers.

Good. The far-left has no power that we don't give them.

pretending that it did happen
is most likely why he stuck around and helped. Give it some thought.

Of course, if moonbats had critical thinking skills like that, being able to connect dots and draw conclusions, well, they wouldn't be moonbats would they?
