huxley: once one is in a leftist bubble, there is a natural tropism to push each other further left.

There have always been bubbles and pushes, but the internet seems a bubble pusher.

There was a large contingent of middle-class mid-western 20-somethings in the Weather Underground. Radicalization is a gradual process, but once one is in a leftist bubble, there is a natural tropism to push each other further left.

There was even a catch-phrase for it: “Lefter than thou.” Though being aware of the mechanism didn’t stop it.

Likewise the trend to more provocative activism. The left’s protest tactics have become increasingly provocative and dangerous. Overwhelmingly, they’ve been getting away with it.

I regard Good’s death as statistically inevitable.

I don’t believe the left is looking for civil war. They are looking for civil disruption which they believe they can exploit. I think they are miscalculating. The rest of the country has learned since the BLM riots.

Andy Ngo is reporting that Saint Sparkles’s mother was paying her bills, so no, they weren’t a typical middle aged, married, Midwestern couple.

Everybody it seems wants to be the star of the next viral video. The only hint shown in the media that Saint Sparkles FAFO ended in a very bad unphotogenic way was what looked like a bullet hole in her car seats’s hesdrest.

They haven’t shown first responders (body recovery) removing the corpse from the vehicle or if she went into a body bag. Acolyte Drive, Drive, Drive was outraged that Saint Sparkles was handled like a “sack of potatoes.” That’s FAFO sister.

The media must keep the useful idiots unaware of the consequences of unsuccessful attempted murder.

This report is from the Washington State Department of Children, Youth and Families stating what had changed in the method of payment to providers:

CHILD CARE SUBSIDY PROGRAM OVERPAYMENT REPORT 2025

The CCDF federal rules changed on April 30, 2024, requiring DCYF to pay providers prospectively and based on enrollment. DCYF has sought and been granted a waiver on the timeline for implementation. The implementation workplan includes payment practices exploring ways to implement these new requirements to minimize improper payments. Legislation passed in July 2025, that requires implementation that prohibits claiming when a child has not attended at least one day within the authorization period in the previous month.

The report states that overpayments through March 2025 were $2.1 million to providers. Extrapolated to the full year would be around $10 million. Washington State has 1/5 the Somali population. The report doesn’t say how much of the overpayments have been recovered.

There is another category of subsidies that goes directly to the family, which has a higher overpayment amount, but I don’t know if Minnesota uses a similar system.

Based on it’s population, Minnesota may well be the test bed for states looking to implement fraudulent payments from federal government programs. In sheer dollar size, I would imagine California would lead the way and the problem isn’t likely limited to Somalis– it’s the amount based on the population of Somalis that make this scam so noticeable.

Remember during COVID when there was a vast amount of fraud in unemployment payments. California led the way with $18 billion in fraudulent unemployment payments.

Bring back Musk and DOGE. When Musk said the fraud was $1 trillion, it appears he was right. How is there ever an accounting since both parties are benefitting from scamming the federal government.

This was a middle aged, middle class, mid-west, married couple with a young child. That such a demographic can be radicalized to such an extent to undertake such dangerous behavior — it’s just inconceivable to me. Functioning adults don’t do this, even if they’re “troubled.”

Thelma and Louise is a movie; do people think they’re actors?

How can those individuals who were in a position to stop this fraud, and did nothing about it, not be accessories to the crimes??

So far, those in DC who committed the Russia / Trump fraud have not even been indicted for their crimes (excepting, sort of , the former FBI’s Comey).

Fauci’s crimes have gone totally unpunished (he lied to Congress numerous times and he allowed/approved funding of Wuhan’s gain of function work).

So, what will happen in MN??

So far the track record in punishing miscreants is a big fat zero.

Saint Sparkles and Acotyte Drive, Drive, Drive could have done so much! (sarc)
