" "I just got out of a press conference where First Assistant U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson, the lead prosecutor in all these federal fraud cases in Minnesota, said that the 14 Medicaid-waivered programs that are under scrutiny in Minnesota cost $18 billion since 2018.
Thompson said it's possible that half of that could be fraudulent"

If the lead prosecutor is making that comment it most certainly more than a quarter billion.

Proof Jeff will believe ANYTHING especially when there is no evidence provided.

Trump appointee: "Billions stolen!"
Jeff: "Yep, must be billions!"

Facts:
1. Feeding Our Future only got $300 million
2. Prosecutors have said Feeding Our Future was the largest scam...so where is the other $8,700,000,000 in fraud?
3. Minnesota denied them grant money only to be court ordered to provide it.
4. BIDEN's FBI did the raid in 2022
5. Feeding Our Future was run by a white woman
6. The convictions are over a year old
7. Why $9 billion? Because these are just organizations that have high fraud risk due to the nature of their services.
8. Prosecutor's evidence so far for $9 billion? "When I look at the claims data and the providers, I see more red flags than I see legitimate providers." That's it. That's all his evidence. ALL of it thus far. Literally that's it.

No wonder Jeff quotes a conspiracy theorist site called HotAir which mentions none of these as key facts.

This is blowing up because people like Jeff are too stupid to get the facts.

Posted by BellRinger

Ever notice how Jeff just completely ignores when he gets fact checked and just comments on other random stuff when it happens?

Off 13,000%? Ignore it and talk about something else.
Caught lying about surgeries happening to kids 12 and under? Ignore it and talk about something else.

And then just complain people are ganging up on you because you said something stupid again and can't defend it.

Jeff ran away.

YOU ARE OFF BY 13,000%. (literally he's off that far.)

Jeff's numbers are SO LUDICROUS that I want to put them in perspective because it's hard to grasp 13,000%.

The Minnesota Vikings scored 23 points in their last game.

Jeff would say they scored 2,990 points in their last game.

That's the kind of -------- we have to deal with from this idiot.

BTW

If you want to talk puberty blockers...They did a study on that of 5 million minors who had insurance.

They were given to ONLY 926 minors between 2018 and 2022 out of that number. And not to anyone under the age of 12.

That's LESS than 200 a year nationwide that they found out of 5 million minors.

It's 0.018%.

My recollection is .3 based upon studies I've read.

I gave you the comprehensive study on gender affirming care.

It's 0.0023% when it comes to minors. Not 0.3%. Not 0.03%. Not even 0.003%. They found only 85 cases. 82 of which were breast reductions.
(For adults, it's closer to 0.0051%)

YOU ARE OFF BY 13,000%. (literally he's off that far.)

And they couldn't find a single instance of anyone 12 years or younger getting gender affirming surgery. So you lied there too.

And then you MOVED the goal posts and started talking about adults because you got fact checked.

In Jeff world, you can ---- a 15 year old. You can make a 15 year old carry your baby. But you can't let them make medical decisions even if they require parent consent and a team of multiple psychologists and multiple doctors to agree.

You are a ------- liar and a hypocrite, pedo.

Gotta keep sterilizing and surgically mutilating minors as much as possible.

Poor Pedo Lover Jeff.

Did Santa not leave that 15 year old girl under the tree like you wanted?

In 2019, there was a study done of 22 million minors.

They found only 85 cases of gender affirming surgery on transgender minors. 0.0023% of minors.
82 out of 85 were chest related surgeries.
97% of all breast reduction surgeries on individuals born male were on cisgender males rather than someone identifying as transgender. (Think, genetic issue or obesity)
They did not find a single instance of anyone 12 years old or younger receiving gender affirming surgery.

Fact Checked into Oblivion again.

But I heard GDP grew...so we all got 4.3% richer...somehow...

I predict few if any DR Righties will post on this thread.

The reality is that very likely the contract contained numerous provisions allowing for cancelling and it will likely fall under one of those provisions.

He is a professional musician. They have lawyers. The contract was likely vetted and agreed to.

I doubt there is anything they can do, definitely not get $1 million. Especially for a free concert.

From a pure legal perspective, the legal standard likely applied to the name change will be whether the validity of contracts hinge on whether the change constitutes a fundamental shift in the venue's nature that impacts the artist's engagement. This is of course absent provisions in the contract mentioned above.

The contract says he'd perform at the Kennedy Center.

Kennedy Center no longer exists.

Therefore, it's impossible for him to perform.

DEI judge or she's on the take.

So I assume you'll be electing the Defendant as the next governor/senator in Florida?

Oh wait...that's MILLIONS in Fraud, not Billions. Not big enough to qualify him for Republican office.

Is OneIronNut pissed they didn't get proper pardons by paying Trump a bribe?

This is judgment enforcement " the same principle used every day when courts seize bank accounts, property, aircraft, or cargo from someone who lost in court and refuses to pay.

LOVE seeing my tax dollars and US military personel put in harms way to compensate oil companies.

Wait...Boaz all the sudden believes in reparations! Oh wait, it's for oil companies, not black people.

We can't take care of homeless vets.
We can't feed hungry school kids.
We can't make sure people have health insurance.

BUT ---- THEM! THIS IS ABOUT THE OIL COMPANIES! DAMN THE EXPENSE AND ANY LIVES LOST!

In a world where most billionaires are under 50, how is this the boomers fault again??

And what does US age distribution have to do with the average age of Billionaires?

Did you forget what we were even talking about?

We just spent $20 million bombing a village based on Nigerian intel.

We only send them $30 million approximately in food aid.

It's that last unhighlighted section which basically means his backtracking is meaningless.

Only 10% in the US are under 50.

A 300 kilojoule rail-gun, two 5" guns, two 600 kw lasers, a mix of 30mm and phalanx guns, a 128 cell vertical launch system and 12 hypersonic missiles. No word on torpedo tubes. An Aegis derived fire control system. Drone defense pods. I thought it would be nuclear but its diesel generators and LNG turbines. No word on helicopters. Top speed greater than 30 knots, weighs 35,000 tons. 6" steel armored hull and probably 2,000 sea doors and multiple bulkheads. First 2 expected in 2028.

Number of potential uses: 0

Where was the HUGE increase in spending in Q4?

...Healthcare inflation accounted for most of the huge increase...
...Investment actually decreased...
...Services increase was mainly international travel...
...Recreational Goods and Vehicles was mainly information processing equipment...
...the increase in other nondurable good was mainly in prescription drugs...
...large increase in federal spending...

...credit card debt increased by a whopping 2% ($24 billion increase)...
...family debt rose by 1% ($197 billion increase)...
...student loan balances also rose 1% ($15 billion increase)...

For the record: the GDP increase was only $166 billion.

These numbers are from the BEA report that provided the 4.3% GDP increase stat.

None of this is good news. There are basically no bright spots except maybe recreational goods.

Hedley Lamarr: "You said rape twice."
MAGAts: "I like rape."

No it isnt. Stop making up --------. Clinton is in there more than anyone else.

Donald Trump appears more often after his name was redacted as much as possible than Clinton appears without any redactions of his name.

But sure, prosecute them both. Sounds great to me.

Oh! This was you deflecting. Got it.

Sit down, Pedo Lover.

Great news!

*Reads details*

Oh... That's...not good...

Imagine being so clueless about how to better the country, that you have to inspire tearing things down.
There is a reason Democrats are below 18% in approval ratings.

Then why do you keep losing elections?

And barely winning them in areas that Trump won by 20+ points?

You can hear the Chinese laughing at us...
