Snot Boogie was a true story. From David Simon’s book “Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets”

One story after another spills from Terry McLarney’s brain, his mood lightened by a night on the West Baltimore streets. A car ride through the west side never fails to have that effect on McLarney, who can roll through the ghetto remembering a strange thing that happened on this corner, a funny comment overheard down that street. On the surface, it all resembles a nightmare, but dig a little deeper and McLarney can show you the perverse eloquence of the thing, the unending inner-city comedy of crime and punishment.
That corner there, for instance, the one where Snot Boogie got shot.
“Snot Boogie?” asks Brown, disbelieving.
“Yeah,” says McLarney. “And that’s what his friends called him.”
“Nice.”
McLarney laughs, then leaps into the parable of Snot Boogie, who joined the neighborhood crap game, waited for the pot to thicken, then grabbed the cash and bolted down the street only to be shot dead by one of the irate players.
“So we’re interviewing the witnesses down at the office and they’re saying how Snot Boogie would always join the crap game, then run away with the pot, and that they’d finally gotten sick of it . . .”
Dave Brown drives in silence, barely tracking this historical digression. “And I asked one of them, you know, I asked him why they even let Snot Boogie into the game if he always tried to run away with the money.”
McLarney pauses for effect.
“And?” asks Brown.
“He just looked at me real bizarre,” says McLarney. “And then he says, ‘You gotta let him play . . . This is America.’ ”
Brown laughs loudly.
“I love that,” says McLarney.
“Great story. Did it really happen?”
“Fuck yes.”

Socialists aren't hypocrites. They're just liars. They are wealthy, privileged, downwardly-mobile losers who resent their father for being successful. So, they aim to destroy successful people and successful societies because that success reminds them of their loserdom.

RFK Jr. says HHS loses $100,000,000,000 a year to theft.

He found some thieves would bribe poor people with flat screen TVs to get their patient numbers and enroll them in hospice.

Then they would proceed to bill Medicaid "$6,000 a month FOREVER."

RFK JR: "We shut down 800 hospices. You know what a hospice is? Where you're going to die. Typically, if you go to a hospice, you leave within 18 days because your dying is terminal."

"We started looking at these hospices in Los Angeles, and the people never died. Two or three years later they were there, and we're paying $6,000 a month."

"We found a hotel room with 29 hospices in it. I mean a hotel, every room was a hospice, and none of them had any patients. They were just addresses."

"The guys who own them, they were Estonians and Armenians and people from Eastern Europe who were getting the patient numbers. They were stealing them from doctors' offices."

"They were also going into poor neighborhoods in Los Angeles and they'd say to the people, 'We'll give you this $375 flat-screen TV. You give us your patient number and we're going to enroll you in this hospice. You don't ever have to go. We're just going to enroll you,' and then we'll charge Medicaid $6,000 a month forever. And the guy never dies, of course, because he was never sick."

"We didn't get a single call from a congressman or from a business owner saying, 'Oh, you shut down my hospice and all these patients are on the street.' None of them, because they were all crooked and they knew they were crooked."

2008 was used to lock younger people out of the economy including Millennials and Zoomers. It was the final nail in the coffin for mid tier jobs that provided an income that could support a household.

They used 2008 to create the service sector economy we now live in and when Americans refused to be servants for 10-15 dollars an hour the started hiring every immigrant they could find.

We are 2 generations into this now and one of the generations thinks it only happened to them.

‘I accept that you live with remorse everyday of your life, but I live with tragedy every day of mine. I accept apologies, I forgive you, however I cannot give your release my endorsement. To give that a blessing would be a betrayal of my sisters life.’

This is actually a great understanding of how the Christian should forgive. Just because you can personally come to terms with someone who wronged you doesn’t mean they’re exempt from consequences of the law.

Chick-fil-A and In-n-Out are both conspicuously Christian-run businesses and both hire local teenagers (not illegal aliens) and pay them well and promote them to management.

Chick-fil-A hiring an elderly man who loves the Lord as a greeter is the most American thing possible.

[QE Infinity @StealthQE4]

Facts.

The reality is we’ve never recovered economically since 2008. All we’ve done is paper over all of the losses by printing money.

There’s no price discovery anymore. Nothing has recovered. QE just hid the losses.

It’s all been a giant con.

[Roberto Rios @peruvian_bull]

FINANCIAL GRAVITY:

If we divide the S&P 500 by the fed’s balance sheet, the line is basically flat since 2008.

The correlation coefficient between central bank quantitative easing and the price of stock indexes is nearly 1.

The money printed by the Fed, because of the structure of the Open Market Operations, is plugged directly into the Treasury markets, and from there, flows into equities and derivatives.

This has served to primarily enrich the asset owners, financial institutions, and wealthy elites who own the majority of the stock market anyways.

The entire rally has been an illusion, financed by the Fed and maintained through QE.

The most pro-deportation people in Washington just had a yacht party.

The boozy gala drew conservatives who've served in Congress, the DOJ and ICE — all of whom share a goal of deporting 1 million-plus people a year.

What an Orioles debut for Cam Sanders.

Sanders, who was acquired from the Pirates in a cash trade Monday, enters with the bases loaded and one out in a 2-1 game. He then strikes out Isaac Paredes and gets Christian Walker to pop out.

It's a 96 mph fastball with this slider.
