Actor David Spade raising awareness that a bill was introduced in California to audit where the $20+ billion dollars in missing homeless money went, it passed but then Gavin Newsom VETOED the bill to block the investigation
Yes, this really happened. He blocked bills for an audit MULTIPLE TIMES
Bipartisan bill AB 2903 (unanimous passed 72-0 in the Assembly, 40-0 in the Senate) would’ve forced annual public reports on where the money went
Newsom vetoed it.
Gavin Newsom also vetoed similar bills AB 2570 and AB 2093
“The same broader problem with people paying taxes in California — The homeless, they lose $20 billion, but they want more money for it. That's why people get tired of paying taxes and going, what are you doing? Gavin Newsom just vetoed a bill asking for an audit of where the money for homeless goes. He said, not a chance. You're not gonna see that. That's the problem.”
A 19-year-old making minimum wage just taught a billionaire what integrity looks like.
Joey Prusak was working the counter at a Dairy Queen in Hopkins, Minnesota, when he noticed something that made his stomach turn.
A blind customer had just finished ordering. As the man turned to walk away, a $20 bill slipped from his pocket and floated to the floor. He had no idea.
Joey expected what would happen next. The woman standing behind the blind man would tap his shoulder and hand him his money back.
That's not what happened.
Instead, she looked directly at the blind man struggling to put his wallet away. She watched him walk past her. Then she bent down, picked up the $20, and slipped it into her purse.
Joey couldn't believe what he just witnessed.
When the woman stepped up to the counter to order, Joey did something that could have gotten him fired. He looked her in the eye and asked her to return the money to the man she had just stolen from.
She refused.
She claimed the $20 was hers. She said she had dropped it herself.
Joey asked again. She refused again.
So the 19-year-old manager made a decision. He told her plainly: "I'm not going to serve someone as disrespectful as you. Please return the money or leave this store."
The woman exploded. She started yelling. She cursed at him. But Joey stayed calm.
She stormed out without her ice cream.
But Joey wasn't finished.
He walked over to the blind man, who was sitting peacefully eating his sundae, completely unaware of what had just happened. Joey reached into his own pocket, pulled out a $20 bill from his own wallet, and handed it to the customer.
Joey made about $10 an hour. That $20 represented two hours of his work.
He didn't tell anyone about it. He didn't post about it. He just went back to serving customers.
But someone else in line had watched the entire thing unfold.
That customer went home and wrote an email to Dairy Queen. The email said: "I was in shock by the generosity that your employee had, taking his own money out of his own wallet to give to the customer because some other lady decided to steal something that wasn't hers. Joey has forever sealed my fate as a lifelong customer."
The store owner printed the email and pinned it to the employee bulletin board.
A coworker snapped a photo and posted it on Facebook.
Within days, Joey's story had traveled around the world.
Then something unbelievable happened.
Joey's phone rang. On the other end was Warren Buffett, one of the richest men in the world. Buffett's company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns Dairy Queen.
The billionaire didn't call to offer business advice. He called to say two words: Thank you.
"He thanked me for being a role model for all the other employees and people in general," Joey later said.
But the rewards kept coming.
Strangers started showing up at the store. A woman ran up to Joey with an envelope full of cash for his college fund. A man drove all the way from another town just to hand Joey $100, saying he deserved five times what he had given away.
Radio shows invited him on as a guest. Companies offered him jobs. The Minnesota Wild hockey team called and gave him a private suite for 20 of his closest friends.
All because a teenager refused to stay silent when he saw something wrong.
When reporters asked Joey why he did it, his answer was simple: "I was just doing what I thought was right. I did it without even really thinking about it."
He paused, then added something that stuck with people: "Ninety-nine out of 100 people would've done the same thing as me."
Maybe he's right. Maybe most of us would do the same thing.
But Joey Prusak is the one who actually did it.
He didn't have power. He didn't have wealth. He didn't have influence. He was just a teenager behind a counter, making $10 an hour, with nothing but his integrity and a $20 bill.
And that was enough to remind millions of people what doing the right thing looks like.
🚨The “Hands Off Venezuela” protest supporting Nicolás Maduro isn’t grassroots. It’s organized by The People’s Forum, an NGO bankrolled with $20M+ by CCP-linked billionaire Neville Roy Singham, a Shanghai-based financier who funds pro–Chinese state media narratives.
The media sensationalizes this paid-for BS.
This is NOT a true representation of American sentiment.
Why does Sabrina Kosmas keep finding videos of this guy with the Mayor?! 🤨 Crazy how a random woman on instagram can uncover so much from the comfort of her home using basic internet search tools. Meanwhile we have a patriot act to invade common citizens privacy rights, nsa, fbi, cia, etc doing little to nothing. supposedly it’s the “tip of the iceberg”. Where are the mass arrest and convictions of these people?? https://t.co/ejIKYmtH7F
Don’t let this story die, we must demand a accountability
“The incoming UN Security Council president, who just so happens to serve as Somalia's UN representative, is also president and CEO of a home healthcare provider based in Ohio
He's a Somali who represents that country at the UN while allegedly being supported by US taxpayers. That would be you and me.
According to Data Republicans research, His company, Progressive Healthcare Services, is on the LEIE list, list of excluded individuals and entities. That is a list the federal government compiles of companies that have engaged in healthcare fraud or false claims, kickbacks or bribery, patient abuse or neglect, or a few felony convictions will get you landed on there too”
A third of community college applicants were fake. $17 billion was spent on High-Speed Rail with no track. $24 billion in homelessness funds disappeared. $32 billion was lost to unemployment fraud. Medi-Cal and SNAP are rife with improper payments.
This is Newsom's California.
🎤 MIC DROP in the Senate.
Chris Briggs didn’t hold back:
“This is my first time ever sitting in front of the Senate. So let me ask something simple. If Obamacare has never hurt anyone and it’s supposedly such an amazing plan… why aren’t you all enrolled in it?”
Silence.
Classic Washington move.
Rules for the public.
Exemptions for themselves.
Let us never forget this fundamental truth: The state has no source of money other than the money people earn themselves. If the state wishes to spend more, it can do so only by borrowing your savings or by taxing you more. And it is no good thinking that someone else will pay—that "someone else" is you.
There is no such thing as public money, there is only taxpayers' money.
Prosperity won't come by inventing more and more lavish public expenditure programs. You don't grow richer by ordering another chequebook from the bank.
No nation ever grew more prosperous by taxing its citizens beyond their capacity to pay.
We have a duty to make sure that every penny piece we raise in taxation is spent wisely and well.
Tim Burchett’s bill to stop $40 MILLION a week in U.S. cash from flowing to the Taliban has passed the House TWICE.
It’s being personally blocked in the Senate by a staffer who used to work for Biden’s Taliban envoy Thomas West.
The same crew that surrendered Afghanistan is still protecting the money pipeline.
Swamp gonna swamp.
