One part of this story that stands out is the role of insurance brokers Federal officials say hundreds of brokers were barred after applications were flagged for suspicious activity.
My phone just pinged me with an “on this day” memory from this day three years ago on 9/20/23.
We were in Eagle Pass, TX and witnessed a mass illegal crossing of more than 4,000 illegal aliens crossing in one single spot in just two hours, leading to CBP having to shut down the nearby international bridges & ports of entry.
@FoxNews was the only network there.
The only resistance offered was Texas military & DPS assets which had placed razor wire at the edge of the river, but the Biden Border Patrol cut through it and in one infamous case, even used heavy machinery to lift it out of the way so the illegal aliens could proceed into the U.S.
A complete free for all that day - and it would get even worse three months later in December 2023 when the illegal crossings reached the highest ever recorded in U.S. history with more than 11,000 in a single day.
@dom_lucre Damn why would you do something like this? You’re a streamer and you have a lot of influence online. He should face serious legal consequences for what he did.
@Sir_EdwardBooth We live in a very different world now. With all the technology around us people don’t seem as warm or connected as they used to be. I really miss those days but sadly we can’t go back.
As a woman I think we're capable of having honest conversations about pregnancy without turning every sentence into a political battle. That's all I'm saying.
The White House just took meme warfare to another level. 😂🔥
Spider-Man rounding up illegal aliens with ICE is a plot twist nobody saw coming.
What a timeline. 🇺🇸
@aisarcore That is absolutely unfair. If she was technically trespassing, the casino should never have accepted her bets for eight years. It's a blatant double standard to take her money when she loses but refuse to pay when she wins.
A woman won $127,000 at a casino she'd gambled at every week for eight years. As she celebrated with the dealer and the whole table, a pit boss pulled her aside and said she couldn't have the money. She'd technically been trespassing the entire time, and hadn't known it.
– Denise Ezell, 65, had been a regular at MGM Grand Detroit for about eight years, gambling there weekly without a single issue.
– On October 30, 2023, on what she described as her last bet of the night, she played a side bet at the progressive blackjack table and was dealt a four-card straight flush.
– The dealer, the table, and everyone around her erupted, congratulating her on what turned out to be a $127,000 jackpot.
– This won't happen with prediction markets
– A pit boss then approached and asked for her ID, which she assumed was routine.
– Minutes later, casino staff told her she couldn't be paid. She was, according to them, trespassing.
– A prediction market doesn't work that way. There's no house, you're matched peer-to-peer, and your payout comes from the person who took the other side, not a company deciding whether to honor the number on your screen
– The reasoning traced back to a single incident from 2015, when Ezell got into an argument with her cousin over shared betting money, and a security guard told her to leave for "panhandling."
– She says she was never formally notified of any ban after that night, and continued gambling regularly at the same casino for the next eight years without incident.
– "Do you think I would have gone down there and spent my money for eight years, knowing I was trespassing?" she asked reporters.
– After months of trying to resolve it directly with MGM and the Michigan Gaming Control Board, she filed a federal lawsuit in June 2024, seeking the $127,000 jackpot plus an additional $75,000 in damages.
She spent eight years and thousands of dollars as a welcomed regular. The one night she actually won big, the casino remembered a decade-old excuse it had never bothered to tell her about.
@WallStreetApes This is an absolutely appalling violation of patient privacy. No one should ever be subjected to such a complete lack of basic decency in a medical setting.

Right outside is a camera…..
