This corruption didn't begin with the Somalis

Before tracking down "root causes" and supply chain history of the Somali day care fraud, I hope Congress stops and looks at two basics: Head start (turned 60 in 2025 in the failed War on Poverty which we lost ) and the corruption in the nonprofit arena (got really bad during Bush I who wanted to reduce federal employment with "faith-based" solutions).

By any definition and all the studies, Head Start has failed miserably--40 million children, their parents and the tax payers. Not every daycare is a head start model, but it's been ingrained in generations that children will be better off if mom leaves home to work and someone not family takes care of the kids. That's the old south slavery model, isn't it? By 2nd grade all academic gains are lost.
 
The whole nonprofit grants from the federal government model so the money is controlled locally is riddled with corruption, nepotism and graft, The Somali thing is the tip of the iceberg, and it's not just day care. It's good intentions gone bad.


Some think the Head start failure is a result of this year's fraud investigation (60 years), but it was declared a failure at 50 years and 40 years,  It's never passed the smell test. Head Start is in turmoil - The Hechinger Report

We are blessed to be a blessing

Buffalo Grove, IL : "Tesla car owners, dealerships and charging stations have been targeted nationwide by protesters and vandals because of CEO Elon Musk's involvement with the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which aims to slash wasteful spending and fraud within the federal government."

Shocking. This story was about a suburban woman. The Left used to admire electric cars and tackling government waste and fraud. Obama and Clinton lauded it. Now we know that was all scripted by Soros and others who were drinking from the Government corruption hose. Our own citizens are having their brains warped and wounded by Trump Derangement Syndrome. They now hate what Democrats used to stand for.
 
I still want care for the environment. We forgot that in the "Green New Deal." Reduce waste and clean up after yourself. If we had a cabinet member for that we could all breath fresh air and not look at trash along every intersection. I want fair tariffs and honest government workers, and grants that go for worthwhile research instead of building academic empires. How did we end up with so much graft? The lower and mid-income in our country are the biggest, most generous (in percentage) and the two biggest corporate giants, Buffett and Musk , are the most generous in amounts. Rich or ordinary--we have been blessed to be a blessing. Let's get back to that value system.

Vote today for real change

No one called Trump a racist, homophobe, sexist, etc. before he came up against the Clinton Machine (with whom he used to pal around as just another rich guy) and the DNC. His record for hiring and promoting women and minorities is exemplary and there are dozens of YouTube testimonials about his behavior, professionalism, etc. But, he chose not to run as a Democrat; he could have--I think he has been both over the years, and contributed to the Clinton Foundation which is now under 5 different FBI investigations. BTW, the administrative costs for his foundation is 1%; the average for foundations is 2%. Wouldn’t it be nice if we had a politician who cared about costs and could bring government costs down?
 
Mrs. Clinton on the other hand has been using mafia/mob techniques for 30 years to stay ahead of the law. First thing in the White House 25 years ago as FLOTUS she fired the travel staff and turned that lucrative job over to her friends. Then she tried to take over health insurance—she even brags that there was Hillarycare before Obamacare. Her name and image should be attached to the definition of GRIFTER.

 I'm a one issue voter, LIFE, and that includes at our end of the time line, and convicted murderers. I am over 70 and are you are next. But first she must further downgrade God's creation and purpose--has to lower the age of consent, bless polygamy and also incest. Democrats are obsessed with sex while calling people names and saying they own American values.

The best reason to elect Trump is that he is the ultimate outsider, he’s the change candidate—didn’t vote for war, hasn’t raised our taxes or stolen our health insurance. He didn’t poison Flint’s water, and he hasn’t approved a pipeline. He hasn’t cheated our veterans, or told pastors what they can preach and bakers what they can decorate. He actually uses his own money to help people.  It will be worth it just to have a president who can’t get a thing past Congress and who constantly keeps Media investigating rather than giving him a free ride like they did Obama and all Democrats.
