French Bulldog Discovers He Can Talk — And Commutes With Opinions | The Dodo

As Nick Shirley dominates the Internet doing the job the “MSM” and the FBI were supposed to do, the backpedaling has now begun… First was CBS News trying (and failing) to reclaim the narrative. In case you missed it: CBS News Tries To Reclaim The Narrative In Minnesota — And FAILS Badly! And now it's the FBI claiming they were already on the case before Nick Shirley. From Kash Patel himself: CASE UPDATE: MINNESOTA FRAUD SCHEME The FBI is aware of recent social media reports in Minnesota.

However, even before the public conversation escalated online, the FBI had surged personnel and investigative resources to Minnesota to dismantle large-scale fraud schemes exploiting federal programs. Fraud that steals from taxpayers and robs vulnerable children will remain a top FBI priority in Minnesota and nationwide. To date, the FBI dismantled a $250 million fraud scheme that stole federal food aid meant for vulnerable children during COVID. The investigation exposed sham vendors, shell companies, and large-scale money laundering tied to the Feeding Our Future network. The case led to 78 indictments and 57 convictions. Defendants included Abdiwahab Ahmed Mohamud, Ahmed Ali, Hussein Farah, Abdullahe Nur Jesow, Asha Farhan Hassan, Ousman Camara, and Abdirashid Bixi Dool, each charged for roles ranging from wire fraud to money laundering and conspiracy. These criminals didn’t just engaged in historic fraud, but tried to subvert justice as well. Abdimajid Mohamed Nur and others were charged for attempting to bribe a juror with $120,000 in cash. Those responsible pleaded guilty and were sentenced, including a 10-year prison term and nearly $48 million in restitution in related cases. The FBI believes this is just the tip of a very large iceberg. We will continue to follow the money and protect children, and this investigation very much remains ongoing. Furthermore, many are also being referred to immigrations officials for possible further denaturalization and deportation proceedings where eligible. It's kind of like when you get busted by your parents for watching TV and not doing your homework, and then you scramble to say "Uhhhh yes I was doing my homework, I actually already started, see that open text book over there?  I was totally already doing it!" Your thoughts? Do you think Kash Patel and Pam Bondi will take care of this? Do you think they were already working on it before Nick Shirley blew up the Internet with his video? Look, I'm rooting for Kash and Pam.  I hope and expect great things. But any way you slice it, it's not a good look when the FBI Director is essentially guilted and shamed into responding to an Internet YouTuber who everyone says is doing the job of the MSM and FBI better than both combined. Really bad look. I'm rooting for you Kash... I'm rooting for you Pam... But perhaps at this point we need to see less words and less promises and more people arrested and thrown in prison?

Americans are over-diagnosed with mental health issues to receive chemical treatments rather than taking care of the spiritual lack at the root of the problem, according to Dr. Greg Gifford. Gifford, an assistant professor of biblical counseling at The Master’s University, appeared on Morning Wire on Sunday to talk about his recent book, “Lies My Therapist Told Me,” in which he dissects an over-diagnosis of mental health issues in the United States. Far more Americans are diagnosed with mental health problems, such as depression and anxiety, than are truly suffering from physiological issues. Many such problems can be solved if the patients are willing to address deeper spiritual issues, according to Gifford. “When you believe that all that there is is a natural explanation, when you have a naturalistic worldview, then you’re looking for a naturalistic category to explain what’s happening in your inner person,” Gifford told Daily Wire reporter Megan Basham. “Naturalism has set the stage for us to blame things on our brain that are not truly brain issues.” Christmas Sale – Get 40% off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships The process for diagnosing mental health issues relies on flawed arbitrary, naturalistic science. In addition, once a person is diagnosed with a mental illness, the “therapeutic terminology” used to describe a supposed chemical imbalance comes to define how a patient sees themselves–as a patient with an illness rather than a person with a spiritual crisis. In reality, many people are missing a proper understanding of themselves and their relationship with God, leading to tension in their “mind” and soul that has been confused for a biological problem with their brain, according to Gifford. “The mental health movement has actually confused the brain and the mind and used medical terminology to describe the immaterial mind, and our mind is not material. You can’t touch it. You can’t put it under a microscope. You can’t study it with scientific methods because it’s immaterial,” said Gifford. To heal many problems seen as mental illness, Gifford says that people should go see their pastors before seeing a therapist. “As a Christian, if you’re saying, ‘Wait a minute, I need to go to my psychologist, my therapist, to help me with my mind,’ I’m saying, no, I think you should actually go to your church and look to your pastor, and look to the means of grace that God has provided to bring about mind renewal, which is what the Bible calls it,” said Gifford. “You’re going to see better results than what your psychologist was ever going to provide for you.” Watch the entire interview here.

'Staggering, industrial-scale fraud'

Daily Signal senior contributor Victor Davis Hanson announced on his popular podcast that he will have a major medical operation this week. His show will continue with co-host Jack Fowler as Hanson recovers. “I’m having a major operation, and I’ve been presented with a serious problem, but I’m going to do all I can to solve it. And that’s all I can do and trust in the power of prayer, and faith—and in a wonderful surgeon,” Hanson said. “I finally ended up going to the best medical center that I know, Stanford Med, and the people there have been absolutely wonderful. It’ll work out one way or the other.” Hanson is the Martin and Illie Anderson senior fellow at the Hoover Institution and the Wayne and Marcia Buske distinguished fellow in history at Hillsdale College. He joined The Daily Signal as a senior contributor earlier this year, providing daily video commentaries. His popular podcast, “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” is available four times throughout the week. At the start of Friday’s episode, Hanson announced that he would have an operation Tuesday to address an ongoing health problem. “I don’t want to talk about my own problems, but I’ve had people call me and say, ‘You don’t look well, you’re hoarse, or you’re coughing.’ But it’s been a nine-month odyssey because the problem I had for a nonsmoker and nondrinker was a rare type and very hard to diagnose, so it’s no one’s fault other than my own perhaps for not realizing why I was not getting well,” Hanson said. After recently having a biopsy, Hanson decided to proceed with an operation that will interrupt his work—but hopefully not for long, he said. “I’ll be fine. At least I’ll do my best for everybody,” Hanson said. “I think I have an obligation to all of our readers and listeners from whom I get wonderful letters expressing support and good wishes; our listeners and viewers are extraordinarily kind people.” Fowler noted that Hanson’s legion of fans left hundreds of comments offering their prayers. In addition to his podcast and syndicated column, Hanson writes exclusive content for his website, Blade of Perseus, at victorhanson.com. While he is recovering, Fowler will continue to host the show in Hanson’s absence. The post Victor Davis Hanson: ‘Not Yet and Not Today’ appeared first on The Daily Signal.
