Just learned that the social security database is not de-duplicated, meaning you can have the same SSN many times over, which further enables MASSIVE FRAUD!!
Your tax dollars are being stolen.
This is John F. Sopko, one of America's most dedicated and effective public servants. As Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), Sopko and his team rooted out billions of dollars of waste, fraud, and abuse in Afghanistan. They generated 427 audits, 10 comprehensive Lessons Learned reports, and 160 criminal convictions. With the Afghanistan mission winding down, Senator @RandPaul proposed that Sopko and his team pivot to Ukraine. They were ready to take on the assignment. But that idea was rejected by the White House and Senate. If Sopko were working in the private sector, I have no doubt that he would be promoted for his efforts. But in government, he might just be a little too effective for his own good. After all, if he was place in charge of Ukraine oversight, what do you think he would find?
Those impacted by the LA fires have my deep condolences, and all of us should hear this newest message from nature about how we are dealing with her. We should remember that acts of nature have killed more people than wars and toppled more domestic and world orders than anything else. History shows that if we take care of nature, nature will take care of us.
ELON: LIFE NEEDS TO INSPIRE AND MAKE YOU GLAD TO BE PART OF HUMANITY
“But life cannot be just about solving one miserable problem after another.
That can't be the only thing. There need to be things that inspire you, that make you glad to wake up in the morning and be part of humanity.”

The media is ridiculing Trump for saying that wind turbines are killing the whales. But they are. There were 12 whale deaths off the East Coast in December alone. The North Atlantic right whale species will go extinct unless the Trump administration acts to end the slaughter.
Politicians and media are quick to blame California's wildfires on climate change.
But the main cause is politicians failing to allow effective forest maintenance!
Years ago,I made this video (it was quickly censored by Facebook) with @Shellenberger about it:
Some reporters and scientists are blaming climate change for the lack of rain in LA. It's ridiculous. There's no trend in annual rainfall from 1877 to 2024. We have wet years and dry years.
Climate change isn't responsible for the LA fires. Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass are.
This is one of the most admirable people I know. @NiallHarbison devotes his life to rescuing street dogs in Thailand, often working miracles.
He often speaks openly and powerfully about the affect animals have had on his life, especially with the spiritual remedy for addiction:
🚨TRUMP: “Elon Musk has been working very hard with Vivek to eliminate hundreds of billions in waste and fraud. We’re looking to save maybe $2T. It will have no impact on people’s livelihoods like Medicare or social security. Just waste, fraud, and abuse.”
🚨🇺🇸RFK JR: NOT ANTI-VAX, BUT PRO-SCIENTIFIC SCRUTINY
Despite being labeled “anti-vax” by critics, RFK Jr. has repeatedly clarified his stance: he’s not against vaccines but advocates for safety and accountability in their development and distribution.
RFK Jr. has emphasized the importance of rigorous testing, transparency, and holding pharmaceutical companies to the same scientific standards as any other industry. He argues that questioning vaccine safety is not anti-science—it’s the foundation of science.
As the conversation continues, RFK Jr. stands firm on one point: promoting health doesn’t mean blindly accepting systems—it means improving them for everyone.

Charlamagne Delivers a Message to “Old Ass” Biden: Do NOT Give Preemptive Pardons
CHARLAMAGNE: “Why would I be pardoning you if you don’t have any crimes connected to you? Doesn’t that make you look guilty if I give you a preemptive pardon?”
CO-HOST: “No. It means that we know who Trump is, and we know what Trump’s probably going to do.”
CHARLAMAGNE: “Or it could mean Trump knows something that we don’t know, and that’s why he’s going after these people. I just don’t understand why you would give somebody a preemptive pardon. Like, it just feels like you’re saying, ‘Okay, I know this person is guilty of something, and Trump may go after them.’”
