COVID fraud https://t.co/qfXn5QDTxQ pic.twitter.com/BD1Xiii69O — New York Post (@nypost) September 4, 2024 Fox News has more details on how “Tim Walz’s school lunch fiasco got scammed for $250 million right under his nose”: The Democrat media and Harris-Walz campaign are working overtime to seize the narrative surrounding the freshly coronated ticket of Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Walz is rightly under fire for his overstated military record, frightening views on free speech and dubious relationship with the Chinese Communist Party. Rather than addressing these issues, Democrats are embracing the infamous advice of “Mad Men” character Don Draper: “If you don’t like what’s being said, change the conversation.” You may have noticed the media heaping praise on Walz’s policies as governor, including the universal school lunch legislation he signed in 2023. Ignoring that the program abuses taxpayer dollars by allowing wealthy families to take advantage of school lunch programs, the media roundly casts it in a positive light. Why? To change the conversation. The truth is that Walz’s history of providing meals to hungry children isn’t about feeding them at all. Beginning in 2020, Walz allowed a fraud of massive proportions that exploited a taxpayer-funded child nutrition program during the pandemic. Some even called it the “greatest grift in U.S. history.” According to federal prosecutors, a Minnesota-based nonprofit called Feeding Our Future (FOF) committed the nation’s largest pandemic relief fraud. $250 million was stolen from under the nose of Governor Tim Walz and his army of state education bureaucrats. Five defendants have been convicted, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. The fraud was conducted as a series of cascading kickbacks based on FOF’s fraudulent reporting to Walz’s administration. FOF’s food sites overrepresented the number of meals they served to hungry children by the thousands, set up shell companies to sell the story and then pocketed the millions in extra cash from reimbursements. The official narrative boasts the drama of a soap opera and the tension of a Hitchcock film. It features corruption, greed and even a well-placed $120,000 bribe on a juror’s doorstep. While the scandalous details abound, the Minnesota Office of the Legislative Auditor released a report that breaks down the fraud allegations over 103 plainly written pages. There, hidden crumbs reveal how such a fraudulent scheme was even possible: Walz had structured the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) in such a way that proper oversight was near impossible. The report shows that MDE suffers the same affliction as all the overwrought government agencies I oversee: diffuse decision-making that obscures accountability. As chairwoman of the Committee on Education and the Workforce, I am all too familiar with education bureaucracies like the MDE enabling the misuse of taxpayer dollars. Minnesota businesses struggle under Gov. Tim WalzVideo Take, for instance, page 55 of the report, which states that “MDE inappropriately asked Feeding Our Future to investigate complaints about itself.” Essentially, a complainant would approach the Minnesota of Department of Education with an issue involving FOF, and education officials would say, “Figure it out amongst yourselves.” It’s like a court allowing a defendant to be the judge at his or her own trial, a patently absurd way to dodge responsibility. Or on page 48, the report finds that MDE welcomed loose oversight requirements for high-risk sponsors. While this ostensibly helped maximize the number of meals served, according to the report, it also “put the programs’ integrity at risk.” A more cynical and honest assessment is that weakening the guardrails helped divert funds from hungry children. There is currently no evidence to suggest Walz was in on the fraud, but you have to wonder when something like that happens right under your nose, was there any complicity anywhere in this for Walz? Politics is a DIRTY game and it seems to me like the longer anyone is in politics, the richer they become. Is this how the game is played? Watch for more here: The Walz Administration has lost hundreds and hundreds of millions dollars to fraud in the past couple years. It’s unacceptable, and the only people on the hook for it are the taxpayers.

The Regime Media, facilitating Vice President Kamala Harris’s pivot back to the comfortable terrain of abortion, willfully omitted a major detail from their coverage of her call for the Senate to end the filibuster during an interview with Wisconsin Public Radio: Senator Joe Manchin’s (I-WV) subsequent decision against endorsing Harris. Watch as ABC’s Rachel Scott talked about practically everything related to Harris’s call to end the filibuster except Manchin’s non-endorsement: RACHEL SCOTT: Harris today leaning into what's become a defining issue for her campaign, abortion, saying she wants to abolish the Senate filibuster to restore reproductive rights as they existed under Roe versus Wade, with a simple majority vote instead of the two-thirds vote now required. KAMALA HARRIS: I've been very clear. I think we should eliminate the filibuster for Roe and get us to the point where 51 votes would be what we need to actually put back in law the protections for reproductive freedom. SCOTT: Trump has boasted of nominating three of the Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe versus Wade, keenly aware he's paid a political price with female voters. The former president now making an all-out appeal to the women who are concerned about abortion rights. TRUMP: I am your protector. I want to be your protector. As president, I have to be your protector. You will no longer be abandoned, lonely, or scared. You will no longer be in danger. You're not going to be in danger any longer. You will no longer have anxiety from all of the problems our country has today. You will be protected, and I will be your protector. Women -- women will be happy, healthy, confident, and free. You will no longer be thinking about abortion. That's all they talk about. Abortion. SCOTT: But tonight, a Harris campaign spokeswoman with a blunt response -- "After ripping away our reproductive freedom, now he's trying to tell us how to think." Today we learn, thanks to Rachel Scott, that it takes 67 votes to break a filibuster, and not 60. Somebody should've really told Scott that the rule is in fact 60, and has been that way since 1975. No mention whatsoever of Manchin, who pulled his endorsement with plenty of time to spare for the evening news. Here’s how CNN covered that: Now that Harris has vowed to gut the filibuster on this issue, Manchin said he wouldn’t back her for president. “That ain’t going to happen,” he said. “I think that basically can destroy our country, and my country is more important to me than any one person or any one person’s ideology. … I think it’s the most horrible thing.” Manchin, a former Democrat who registered as an independent earlier this year, said he still hasn’t spoken to Harris despite his attempts to do so. Asked about Harris’ past support for gutting the filibuster, Manchin said: “Well, she said she supported banning fracking too, and she changed that. I was hoping she would change this.” In other words, Manchin expected Harris to flip-flop on the filibuster for abortion the same way she did for fracking. Unfortunately for Manchin, abortion appears to be a moral issue for Harris. There is no flip-flop. You’d think the Regime Media would at least mention Manchin, but there wasn’t a peep. Harris’s call to eliminate the filibuster happened on its own and with zero consequence whatsoever.  CBS’s Robert Costa took a similar track, pivoting off of the filibuster and on to Trump’s related remarks: COSTA: Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris has returned to a cornerstone of her campaign: reproductive rights, calling for a change to Senate rules to reinstate protections under Roe vs. Wade. KAMALA HARRIS: I think we should eliminate the filibuster for Roe. 51 votes would be what we need to actually put back in law the protections for reproductive freedom... COSTA: Last night, Trump also addressed the issue of abortion and said he would protect women. NBC didn’t even cover the story. What we’ve learned is that the media are still doing everything in their power to further Kamala Harris’s candidacy, even if this means reporting half a story. If it weren’t for Regime Media, we’d have none at all. Click “expand” to view full transcripts of the aforementioned reports as aired on their respective network evening newscasts on Tuesday, September 24th, 2024: ABC WORLD NEWS TONIGHT 9/24/24 6:38 PM DAVID MUIR: Meanwhile, in the race for The White House, 42 days to go until the election. Donald Trump and Kamala Harris on the economy and on immigration this week. Former President Trump in Georgia, Vice President Harris headed to Pennsylvania, and then to the border in Arizona. And the new polling tonight, several new national polls showing Kamala Harris with a slight edge over Donald Trump, but within the margin of error. And in the key battleground states, several states with Donald Trump with a slight edge, others with Kamala Harris with the edge. This is a very close race. Here's Rachel Scott. RACHEL SCOTT: Tonight, in battleground Georgia, former President Donald Trump zeroing in on the top issue for voters, the economy, promising that if he wins, the U.S. Will scoop up manufacturing jobs from other countries. DONALD TRUMP: We're going to take their factories. American workers will no longer be worried about losing your jobs to foreign nations. Instead, foreign nations will be worried about losing their jobs to America. SCOTT: Trump says he'll bring business back home by slashing taxes and regulations, and by imposing sweeping tariffs on foreign imports, something Vice President Kamala Harris says will drive up prices on everything from groceries to gas to medicine. Many economists agree with her. And today, the Senate's top Republican says he does, too. MITCH MCCONNELL: I'm not a fan of tariffs. They raise the prices for American consumers. SCOTT: The vice president's team pointing to the more than 700,000 manufacturing jobs created during the Biden/Harris administration. Harris today leaning into what's become a defining issue for her campaign, abortion, saying she wants to abolish the Senate filibuster to restore reproductive rights as they existed under Roe versus Wade, with a simple majority vote instead of the two-thirds vote now required. KAMALA HARRIS: I've been very clear. I think we should eliminate the filibuster for Roe and get us to the point where 51 votes would be what we need to actually put back in law the protections for reproductive freedom.

You will no longer be thinking about abortion. That's all they talk about. Abortion. SCOTT: But tonight, a Harris campaign spokeswoman with a blunt response -- "After ripping away our reproductive freedom, now he's trying to tell us how to think." MUIR: So let's bring in Rachel Scott here with us. A rare moment in studio in New York instead of on the campaign trail. We so appreciate your long hours on the campaign trail. So, we've got former President Trump in Georgia, on the economy. We've got Vice President Harris going to Pennsylvania on the economy, and then she's going to Arizona to the border. SCOTT: Both of these candidates keenly aware that immigration and the economy are top issues to voters. So first, Harris will be delivering that speech on the economy in Pittsburgh, and then, she travels to battleground Arizona with a visit to our southern border. She's expected to tout the Biden administration's executive action that led to a significant drop in the number of migrants crossing the border. She's also expected to say that she would sign that bipartisan border bill into law that Donald Trump urged Republicans to reject, David.  MUIR: If she’s elected. All right. Rachel Scott here with us in New York. Rachel, great to have you. CBS EVENING NEWS 9/24/24 6:38 PM NORAH O’DONNELL: With 42 days until Election Day, both candidates are focusing on a top issue for many Americans: the U.S. economy. Vice President Kamala Harris will add details to her economic plans in Pittsburgh tomorrow. former President Donald Trump presented his in Georgia today. And as CBS's Robert Costa reports, one of the cornerstone proposals is already drawing skepticism. ROBERT COSTA: In battleground Georgia today, former President Donald Trump proposed tax breaks for companies that make products in the U.S. DONALD TRUMP: Not only will we stop our businesses from leaving for foreign lands but under my leadership we are going to take other countries' jobs. COSTA: Trump also said he would impose a 100% tariff on cars coming from Mexico. TRUMP: The only way they’ll get rid of that tariff is if they want to build a plant right here in the United States, with you people operating that plant. COSTA: But some economists and even members of his own party say tariffs could lead to higher inflation. MITCH MCCONNELL: I’m not a fan of tariffs. They raise prices for American consumers. COSTA: It's Trump's first visit to Georgia since a conservative election board that he has praised proved a controversial rule requiring all precincts to hand count ballots in addition to a traditional machine count. That prompted criticism from officials in both parties, including Georgia's Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.  Do you worry the board’s playing politics?  BRAD RAFFENSPERGER: Some of their rules would actually delay the process. We don’t think that’s healthy for our Republic at any time, but particularly now when we are so highly polarized. COSTA: Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris has returned to a cornerstone of her campaign: reproductive rights, calling for a change to Senate rules to reinstate protections under Roe vs. Wade. KAMALA HARRIS: I think we should eliminate the filibuster for Roe. 51 votes would be what we need to actually put back in law the protections for reproductive freedom... COSTA: Last night, Trump also addressed the issue of abortion and said he would protect women. TRUMP: Women will be happy, healthy, confident, and free. You will no longer be thinking about abortion. COSTA: And tonight, CBS News has learned the specter of violence continues to hover over this campaign. Police now investigating apparent gunfire damage to a Democratic campaign office in Arizona, just days before the vice president visits the state. Norah. O’DONNELL: That’s disturbing. Robert Costa, thank you very much.  

Justin Bieber’s life, for all its glittering success, is a story of tragedy — a cautionary tale of a simple kid thrust into a world of sadistic sleaze. At the age of 13, the Canadian artist burst onto the scene with “Baby." A fitting title if there ever was one. In Bieber’s case, the transformation was shocking. His once-wholesome image was replaced by tattoos, addiction, depression, and erratic behavior. You see, Bieber was just that — a baby surrounded by child predators. The entertainment industry, often seen as a glamorous playground, has repeatedly failed to protect its youngest stars. This isn’t a glitch in the system; it’s how the system operates. The entertainment industry is a breeding ground for manipulation, abuse, and exploitation. It's a place where innocence goes to die. Recently, Bieber, now 30, has faced some criticism (most notably from Maureen Callahan and Megyn Kelly) for not commenting on the arrest of Sean "Diddy" Combs. While Kelly questioned why Bieber has not spoken out, Candace Owens took the conversation in a much darker direction. What did Diddy do? In a recent episode of her show, titled "What Did Diddy Do to Justin Bieber?" Owens raised unsettling questions about the disgraced music mogul's interactions with Bieber when he was just 16. While Owens has a taste for the sensational, her points deserve attention, especially given the context. She referred to footage of Bieber, apparently under the influence, at one of Diddy’s infamous parties and asked whether inappropriate behavior may have occurred. "Justin Bieber is not sober," Owens said. "He is clearly very under the influence at this party. ... Diddy may have done some inappropriate things with him." He may have. Then again, the lube-loving lecher may not have. But this is Hollywood we are talking about, a place where young stars are routinely deceived, defiled, and discarded by those who make and break careers. In Bieber’s case, the transformation was shocking. His once-wholesome image was replaced by tattoos, addiction, depression, and erratic behavior. While the world pointed fingers at his antics, few paused to ask how this teen found himself in such a dark place so quickly. Bieber's story is hardly unique. It's very rare to find a child star who isn't damaged in some way. Britney Spears didn't just start dancing with knives out of nowhere. Predator’s paradise HBO’s 2020 documentary "Showbiz Kids" presented firsthand accounts of former child stars who described the emotional, physical, and sexual exploitation they endured. Todd Bridges, famous for his role on "Diff’rent Strokes," recounted his own experience of being molested as a child actor. Similarly, Evan Rachel Wood openly discussed how children in Hollywood are routinely subjected to various forms of abuse, including sexual exploitation. More recently, the docuseries "Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV" exposed the toxic, destructive culture that child actors faced while working on Nickelodeon shows. Drake Bell, former star of Nickelodeon's "The Amanda Show" and "Drake and Josh," disclosed that dialogue coach Brian Peck had sexually assaulted him. In 2003, Peck was sentenced to 16 months in prison and required to register as a sex offender. Bell, whose identity was kept confidential at the time, described Nickelodeon as a “factory” that treated child actors as “expendable.” Corey Feldman, perhaps one of the most tragic figures to emerge from the 1980s child star circuit, has been vocal for years about the pervasive problem of pedophilia in Hollywood. Feldman, who was sexually abused as a boy, told the Guardian in 2020 that "the biggest problem in Hollywood is pedophilia.” He emphasized how children, lured by the promise of fame and fortune, often find themselves caught in a web of coercion by powerful figures who go unpunished for years. For young men, it can be especially difficult to discuss abuse, particularly when the majority of the perpetrators are other men (a fact that Megyn Kelly, to her credit, acknowledged). Watching Feldman perform with his rock band today might prompt some to snicker, but what you are witnessing is the struggle of a grown man whose innocence was stolen at an early age. This is tragedy playing out, not comedy. Empathy, not enmity This brings us back to Justin Bieber, whose body is now a canvas for over 70 tattoos. Many studies have shown a significant link between trauma and an obsession with tattooing, suggesting that individuals may turn to body art as a form of coping or expression. His well-documented struggles with addiction and various mental health issues reveal a painful journey marked by existential obstacles. It wasn’t until the singer found solace in faith, embraced the power of prayer, and married Hailey Baldwin, daughter of Baldwin family oddball Stephen, that he began to heal. The question we should be asking isn’t why Bieber has remained silent on certain issues but whether he’s okay. As he stated in "Lonely," a song released a few years ago: “And everybody saw me sick / And it felt like no one gave a s**t / They criticized the things I did as an idiot kid.” “What if you had it all / And it felt like nobody to call? Maybe then you'd know me / 'Cause I've had everything / But no one's listening / And that's just lonely. I'm so lonely. Lonely.” Even if Diddy didn’t molest him, Bieber is a survivor. He deserves grace. His life has been a roller coaster — full of exploitation, despair, and drug abuse, but also fortitude, faith, and redemption. The industry failed to offer him protection. And yet somehow, despite everything, Justin Bieber is still standing.
