There are a few Nigerian princes who are feeling left out.
We need a general tweet of the day thread

What would you say you did at USAID? Sort of like when Elon took over Twitter and found that 75% of the work force weren't doing anything productive and fired 6,000 out of 7,500 employees and came out with a better product.

The New York Times' attempt to wring sympathy out of us for people who should have had these fake "jobs" in the first place, and are now actually forced to work for a living instead of just relying on their Democrat contacts to give them well-paid, no-work political sinecures, is absurd.
These people were making almost $200,000 per year -- and then dishing out fat government contracts to their family members who just happened to be in the USAID grant check-cashing business themselves.
$175,000 per year as a tick on the belly of the taxpayer while the husband was himself grifting off the grants shoveled to left-wing groups by USAID.
And they want you feel their pain.
I do feel their pain -- and it is exquisite.

I’d love to interview someone who worked there for a private sector job. Just to see what they know. Most likely wouldn’t hire any of them, but would like some first-hand insight on how they operated at USAID.What would you say you did at USAID?

What we do know is that either there were on internal controls of if there were internal controls they were ignored. The money went out the door and no records kept of what NGO actually did with the money. If the private sector job had anything to do with money any former USAID employee should automatically be disqualified from the job.
Just more of those internal controls not existing and/or being ignored. Then the solution is to criminalize any whistleblowing journalist like Nick Shirley. Maybe we can get the dazzler with his hypothetical law degree to explain how this can possibly be legal.

California is the land of miracles. One of these miracles is a hospice with a 97% survival rate. Indeed, people walk away from many of these hospice arrangements in Los Angeles County about as well as when they signed up. And the people arranging their "care," so to speak, drive away in the Maybachs. And so it goes in what used to be — long, long ago — the well-run Golden State.
But then Democrats took over. They flooded the zone with unthinking zombie leaders who believe politics is their religion and giving away billions in taxpayer money is their personal tithe.
Yet, even I, your humble correspondent who follows the California fraud stories every week in the West Coast, Messed Coast™ report, didn't have burrito stand hospice centers on my punch list.
Here's the usual weekly fraud list, give or take:
In testimony before the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee on Tuesday, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the California Hospice and Palliative Care Association, Sheila Clark, didn't want to bust the chops of California officials, but said there are too few checks and balances over the alleged businesses claiming to run hospice organizations.
She told the gape-mouthed crowd, "You'd be amazed at how many hospices — the door you can walk up to in California — and nobody's there."
Well, actually, we'd all believe that now, after independent journalists walked up and knocked on doors, found nobody home, and discovered millions of dollars evaporating into the ether.
That's bad enough, but with the overwhelming amounts of fraud turning up now and riling up taxpayers, the corrupt legislative Democrats in both California and Washington are making it harder for Joe Citizen to find out who's running the scams by hiding addresses, or, in California's case, trying to criminalize reporting about this billion-dollar rip-off. Washington state Democrats cut off independent reporters from the Olympia reporter pool — you know, the army of other Nick Shirleys doing these kinds of exposés.
But Clark wasn't done with her observations about those empty "hospice" offices.
Who's minding the burrito stand, anyhoo? Not California, though Gavin Newsom keeps touting how he cut off 280 licensees but failed to notice that "hospice" centers have exploded by 1,500% in recent years in his state. Newsom also missed how most of the nation's hospice centers are in L.A. County. He also missed that building in L.A. County with 89 hospice centers, most of which are unattended.
And Gavin's fine not knowing, by the way. When he's not commenting on his money laundering book "sales" or chasing out more than $1 trillion in wealth from his state by his failure to forcefully speak against the "billionaire" wealth tax, he's failing to speak about this assault on speech and the public purse. This effort is colloquially called the Stop Nick Shirley Act. Its chief sponsor, Mia Bonta, is married to Newsom's wingman, Attorney General Rob Bonta. Yes, the protector of free speech in California, Rob Bonta, is married to the woman who wrote the bill criminalizing speech.
Democrats aren't so much politicians as they are gangsters.
Sheila Clark has apparently been howling at the moon about these fraudulent hospice centers for a while, but a quick check shows that her public remarks came only after the head of CMS, Dr. Mehmet Oz, began knocking on doors to find empty offices in L.A. County. Shirley followed.
Dr. Oz told Johnny-come-lately CBS, the local outfit where news is news to them, "If they steal the money, they'll steal your health, they'll steal your life."
And they'll steal California and U.S. taxpayer money.
I'll have the carne asada burrito with a side of extra spicy morphine.
I Did Not Have California Burrito Stand Hospice Centers on the Old Check List Today

Here's the usual weekly fraud list, give or take:
- High-speed train over-spending and under-delivering.
- Homeless billions gone missing.
- COVID unemployment billions going to state prisoners or Nigerian princes.
- Free spending for illegal alien trans surgeries quadrupling Medi-Cal (Medicaid) costs.
- Paying non-profits to riot.
- Laws forbidding voter ID.
- Spending other people's money for unfettered illegal immigration.
- Dispensing FireAid money to political friends.
- Fake day care centers with Maybach-driving owners.
- Hospice "companies" with no or living patients.
