@libsoftiktok I've been begging the US Health Insurance Marketplace (AND United Healthcare) FOR MONTHS to remove /disassociate my home address from the Hispanic-surnamed fraudster using it to illegally get health insurance... for FREE, I might add. Using bogus SSNs as well, turns out. ENRAGED.
I recognized some names reading though all of the great work: @DataRepublican@CynicalPublius@MikeBenzCyber and many others have been doing on dropping the business on the Democracy Files and the Color Revolution.
I started digging about 48 hours ago neither my AI monsters nor myself have slept.
Here is how the judges fit into everything.
Part 1:

At a minor league baseball game in North Carolina, the most famous warrior on the field was not a baseball player.
It was a two year old Golden Retriever named Rookie whose duty was to carry wooden bats back to the dugout.
Rookie was terrible at his duty.
In the first inning, he sprinted to home plate, ignored the bat, stole the umpire's dirt brush out of his pocket, and ran a victory lap around all four bases while four thousand people lost their minds.
In the third inning, he stopped behind second base and rolled onto his back until the opposing shortstop scratched his belly.
In my country, an undisciplined retainer is dismissed. Here, they put his face on caps.
In the eighth inning, a nineteen year old rookie player struck out for the fourth time that night.
He walked into the dugout, threw his helmet down, sat on the bottom step in the shadows, and buried his face in a white towel so the cameras would not see him crying.
Even his coaches were afraid to speak to him.
Rookie did not care about batting averages.
With a pine tar bat still sideways in his jaws, the golden dog trotted straight down the concrete steps, dropped the bat with a clatter, and shoved his wet nose right under the boy's towel.
He climbed entirely into the teenager's lap, all seventy pounds of him, and licked the salt off his face until the boy wrapped both arms around the dog's neck and started laughing through his tears.
The stadium camera put them on the giant screen in center field.
Four thousand fans stood up and cheered louder for a boy hugging a dog after a strikeout than they did for any home run.
A sword can win a battle, but only a golden dog knows how to rescue a defeated warrior in front of four thousand witnesses.
The funny thing is, Transition Integrity Project in the @JudicialWatch documents outright roleplayed a straight-up stealing of Electoral College if Trump had somehow won in 2020.
I spend considerable time explaining in UNELECTED that legitimacy no longer comes from the consent of the governed; it now flows top-down from those who claim to be "guardians of democracy." They justify it in pretty language such as "anti-majoritarian."
There is no double standard with them, because in their own eyes, they are the true rulers.
I asked 30 Japanese 12-year-olds one question.
"What do you think of when you hear 'America'?"
(My nephew's teacher let me visit his class. I was not prepared.)
"Hamburgers the size of my head."
"Everything is big. Even the milk."
"Cowboys." Then a boy asked me, "Do cowboys still exist?"
I said yes.
The whole class cheered.
"They went to the moon."
I told them only Americans have ever walked on it.
The room went completely silent. Respect.
"The best baseball in the world. Even Ohtani had to go there."
"Superheroes. They all live in New York."
Then a quiet girl in the back raised her hand.
"My grandma says when the tsunami came, American soldiers came to help her town. She still has a photo with them on her fridge."
Nobody said anything for a while.
Then the teacher asked, "Who wants to go to America someday?"
Every hand went up.
Including the teacher's.
Do you guys remember that one glorious week when the auto translate feature brought the Japanese posts flooding onto the timeline and we learned that they are actually like **the best** friends we never knew we had?
They were just ripping bbq, monster trucks, kfc, honky tonks, and literally the friendliest people of all time
And totally reciprocated too like immediately the American tpot started going nuts for samurai and anime and sushi and it was just this big cultural dab up and we learned that two atomic bombs couldn’t keep us from loving each other and all those countries we were allied with in ww2 were totally lame and ungrateful in comparison
Probably my overall favorite week on this app
This clip from Rhodesia hits different when you know what came next..
While white Rhodesians held the majority in government, it was the breadbasket of Africa, growing so much food it sold it to other countries. In 1980 black majority rule took over and Mugabe came to power. In 2000 his government seized the land of about 4,500 white farmers and handed it to his loyalists.
The only problem was they had no experience and no equipment.. so the farms stopped producing. Inflation hit 79.6 BILLION percent and they printed a 100 TRILLION dollar bill.
It went from feeding Africa to collapsing in under a decade after stealing white people's farms.

Talarico volunteers are reportedly walking up to every single car in a San Antonio polling place parking lot.
Texas has a 100 foot rule for a reason. Voters should be able to cast a ballot without getting worked over on the way in.
Somebody get a tape measure out there.
I've lived in the same apartment building in Tokyo for 11 years.
I know zero names.
That's normal here. We nod in the elevator. We do not speak.
Then Mike moved in on the third floor.
Ohio. Six-foot-four. Laughs like a truck starting up.
Day 1: He knocked on every door with a plate of cookies.
(In Japan, when you move in, you give your neighbors a small towel. Then you leave. Mike gave cookies. Then he stayed and talked.)
Week 1: He knew everyone's name. Including the dog's.
Then there was Mrs. Sato on the first floor.
She's 84. Her husband passed away ten years ago. She lives alone.
In 11 years, I had never heard her voice.
Every Tuesday, Mike carried her groceries up the steps. She didn't speak English. He didn't speak Japanese.
They talked anyway. Mostly about the photo of her husband by the door.
Then one morning, her curtains stayed closed.
Mike noticed.
Nobody else did. I didn't.
He knocked. No answer. He called the building manager.
She had fallen the night before. She'd been on the floor all night.
She's okay now.
But the building isn't the same.
People say good morning. The elevator has conversations.
Last month, we had our first rooftop potluck. Nobody knew what a potluck was. Mike explained it twice.
Mrs. Sato brought 40 rice balls.
And then she laughed at something Mike said.
That was the first time I ever heard her voice.
Mike moved back to Ohio this week.
On his last morning, the whole building came down to the lobby. Kids. Grandparents. The dog.
Mrs. Sato handed him a box.
Inside: one thousand paper cranes.
In Japan, you fold a thousand cranes for someone you want to protect. Her hands shake. She had been folding them since the day he found her.
Then she said the English sentence she had practiced every day for a week.
"Please... come back."
Mike was crying too hard to answer in English.
So he answered in the Japanese he had been secretly practicing.
"Kanarazu kaette kimasu."
In Japanese, that doesn't mean "I'll visit."
It's what you say when you're coming home.

Caleb Hammer tells a 24-year-old who says she’s “too cute” to flip burgers to “go f*ck yourself” after she admits she was on MEDICAID and pocketed $20,000 in COVID unemployment money as a high school senior.
Hammer asked if she pays taxes. She hasn’t filed in two years. That’s when he snapped.
HAMMER: “You had Medicaid. You choose to quit jobs because you’re entitled, and we give you Medicaid?”
“I’m okay with government programs. I really am. For people that fall on hard times. You didn’t. You chose to leave [your job]. Why would we support someone who’s choosing to leave?”
“You’re literally like, ‘I won’t flip burgers. I’m better. I’m overqualified for burgers.’ So why would I give you assistance if you’re not willing to go get a job? Go f*ck yourself.”
VANESSA: “But I am willing to get a job. I’m actively applying.”
HAMMER: “Not burgers. You’re picking and choosing. If you’re picking and choosing, then we should not give you anything.”
VANESSA: “I am absolutely picking and choosing because it’s where I valued.”
HAMMER: “Good. And we shouldn’t value your picking and choosing to give you benefits.”
Taxpayers covered her healthcare, handed her $20K in COVID money, and she keeps reaping benefits because she refuses to get a job.
This is what the welfare state buys. Tell me again why we keep funding it.
