Colorado Among States That Handed Out $1.4B in Medicaid Funds to Illegals

By: Breccan F. Thies | The Federalist Five states and Washington, D.C., funneled more than $1.35 billion in federal taxpayer Medicaid funding to illegals, according to a preliminary audit of the program completed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). CMS Administrator Dr. Mehemet Oz posted the results of the preliminary audit on social media showing California, D.C., Illinois, Washington, Colorado, and Oregon spent millions each on illegals, with California spending the bulk, topping over $1.3 billion alone. That money, according to Oz, was spent “just in the last few months.” The left constantly claims this does not, or even cannot, happen because it is against federal law to use programs like Medicaid — something meant for Americans — fo...

Education Dept Tightens Loan Forgiveness, Excludes Groups Promoting Trans Surgeries and Illegal Aid

By: Jaryn Crouson | The Daily Caller The Department of Education (ED) on Thursday updated a rule on public service employee eligibility for student loan forgiveness, disqualifying any who work at organizations that advocate for sex change operations for minors, or which aid illegal aliens. The Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program generally applies to government workers and some nonprofits that are deemed to be serving the public, but the new rule disqualifies employers who “have a substantial illegal purpose.” The disqualifications include “aiding and abetting violations of Federal immigration laws,” “supporting terrorism or engaging in violence,” “engaging in the chemical and surgical castration or mutilation of children,” “engaging in the trafficking of children to States...

Pentagon Expands Domestic Readiness, Establishes Rapid Deployment Forces Nationwide

By: Ellen Mitchell | The Hill The National Guard is building a “quick reaction force” (QRF) of some 23,500 troops trained in crowd control and civil disturbance that can be ready to deploy to U.S. cities by early next year, according to a leaked memo reported by multiple outlets Wednesday.  The Oct. 8 memo, signed by National Guard Bureau Director of Operations Maj. Gen. Ronald Burkett, orders the Guard from nearly every U.S. state, Puerto Rico and Guam to train 500 service members. States with smaller populations such as Delaware will have 250 troops in its force, while Alaska will have 350 and Guam will have 100, Task & Purpose reported.  A previous Pentagon memo issued in September, and revealed by The Guardian, had mandated that the Washington...

Even the Washington Post Says It’s Time for Democrats to End the Shutdown

By: Marc Tamasco | Fox News 'Schumer has allowed the shutdown to drag on because he's worried about fending off a primary challenger in 2028,' the editorial said. The Washington Post editorial board criticized Senate Democrats on Wednesday for holding the government "hostage" for a month in hopes of extending costly Obamacare subsidies and urged them to reopen the government by voting for a clean funding bill. "The right answer is to reopen the government with a clean funding bill, ideally for a full year, to get food stamps flowing and federal workers back in the office, and then have a debate about ACA subsidies," the Post editorial said. "Democrats openly acknowledge that they refuse to do this because it would mean giving up their leverage. If they persist, it...

GOP’s Thune Slams Schumer for ‘Political Games’ Amid SNAP Funding Crisis

By Ramsey Touchberry | Washington Examiner An animated Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) unleashed on Democrats on Wednesday over food stamp funding that’s set to run dry on Nov. 1 due to the government shutdown. The normally mild-mannered Midwesterner shouted a deluge of criticism on the floor against Democrats for seeking to pass a stand-alone measure for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and other federal food aid after having opposed a “clean” GOP stopgap bill 13 times in recent weeks to reopen the government. “SNAP recipients shouldn’t go without food. People should be getting paid in this country. And we tried to do that 13 times! You voted ‘no’ 13 times!” Thune charged on the shutdown’s 29th day. “This isn’t a political gam...

Father Dies From Grief of Daughter Being Tortured, Raped and Murdered by Illegal Immigrant

By: Samuel Short | The Western Journal European migration has once again proved itself to be an abject failure. Whereas Europe and the Western world stood as the bastion of hope and prosperity for many, it now functions as a breeding ground for the most horrific barbarity from the people it takes in. In France, a 12-year-old schoolgirl was raped and murdered by an Algerian woman after begging for her life, according to CNN. Now, 27-year-old Dahbia Benkired has been sentenced to life in prison without parole for this bloodthirsty, evil crime that caused the girl’s father to drink himself to death. The U.K.’s Daily Mail reported Benkired, who was working as a prostitute at the time, lured Lola Daviet into an apartment on Oct. 14, 2022. Benkired had told inves...

ICE Shakeup: Trump Officials Move to Strengthen Immigration Enforcement

By Anna Giaritelli | Washington Examiner EXCLUSIVE — The Trump administration has begun to purge Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials in offices in five major U.S. cities and fill some of those top posts with senior Border Patrol agents who will take over interior immigration enforcement in those regions, according to five sources familiar with the plans. ICE leaders in Denver, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Phoenix, and San Diego were relieved of their jobs and moved to other posts within the federal agency last Friday, the Washington Examiner has learned. Over the weekend, the Department of Homeland Security quietly started overhauling how it carries out its mass deportation operation in hopes of netting more arrests and ratcheting up its ...

Bill Gates Admits Climate Change Not the End of the World After All

By Bryan Chai | The Western Journal If you’ve paid any attention to the discourse surrounding the weather in the last 30 years, you’ve no doubt heard from some climate change alarmists. From Greta Thunberg to Bill Gates, “climate change” was the looming, apocalyptic Sword of Damocles threatening to end life as we know it. As time wore on, however, fewer and fewer people were inclined to believe that these doomsday predictions (whose dates kept getting moved back) were actually rooted in science. In fact, Thunberg has all but abandoned her original pet cause to move on to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. But Gates? He’s still talking about climate change — but the tune he’s singing may surprise you. (Of note, keep in mind that Gates was and is a proponent of syntheti...

Government Shutdown Exposes Massive Abuse in EBT System

By Matt Walsh | The Daily Wire Many people receiving food stamps would rather rob you than have to pay for their own groceries. Ever since the government shutdown began a month ago, it’s been a challenge to identify anyone in real life — outside of government employees — who has noticed or cared in any meaningful way. Even Democrats don’t seem particularly bothered by the shutdown. They’ve been spending most of their time lately complaining about the renovations that are underway in the East Wing of the White House — which is the kind of thing you complain about when you desperately need to find something to complain about, but you have absolutely no other options whatsoever. Even if you normally don’t care much about how the government spends your money, this is the kind of dev...

The Case of Ian Roberts: A Slap in the Face to Law-Abiding Citizens

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice The arrest of Ian Roberts, former superintendent of Des Moines Public Schools, is more than a scandal. It is an insult to every law-abiding citizen who plays by the rules, pays their taxes, and expects their government institutions to uphold the law with fairness and integrity. Roberts, an undocumented immigrant with a final deportation order, was entrusted with the leadership of Iowa’s largest school district. For this role, he collected nearly $300,000 a year in taxpayer money. Parents who struggle to pay rising property taxes funded his salary and benefits, even while their children’s classrooms lacked resources and their teachers went without competitive pay. How could this happen? According to federal filings, Roberts...
