Draxel Forg: What’s happening?

12th Doctor: Right on cue. Take a look, Eagle men, from Shanroth, planet of the lawyers, that’s one of their justice cruisers, action lawsuit class I shouldn’t wonder.

Doctor Who (Big Finish) The Best Laid Plans 2019

Ladies & Gentlemen:

I would like to call to your attention the recent spate of healthcare workers doing the following:

  1. Openly calling for the death of political opponents
  2. Openly calling for healthcare workers to injure patients with political views they dislike
  3. Openly calling for healthcare workers to not treat patients with political views they dislike
  4. Actually refusing to treat people due to political opinions
  5. Openly taking public political opinions as representatives of the industry or individual healthcare facilities

Needless to say this may be problematic in terms of publicity but I would like to point out a far greater risk to your business than simply bad press.

Medicine, for all its advancements is still an inexact science.

Unlike engineering where the tolerances for various metals and structures can be predicted if the products are properly made, different people will react to treatments differently. There is always a chance that a problem will arise with any med or any treatment or any procedure.

Of course there is always the factor of human error which can be reduced by vigilance but by nature never completely eliminated. Which is why Doctors & Nurses and healthcare workers with any sense carry malpractice insurance.

Now consider for a moment a conservative who comes to one of your facilities, a facility where the doctor, or the nurse, or the person passing meds or even the kitchen staff has been posting on public social media their disgust at conservatives &/or calling for their harm.

Think of what happens if an open conservative comes to your facility for any sort of treatment and has

  • A reaction to meds
  • An adverse reaction to a procedure
  • A bad complication
  • An unexpected death

In any of those cases the patient and/or the family naturally questions why this has taken place. What kind of conclusion might be reached if any of those online political activities come to light concerning any person involved in his or her treatment? How fast will the family conclude that this was not part of the normal risk of treatment but a deliberate act against a perceived “enemy”?

How quick do you think a family like that will decide to sue?

How fast will such a suit become a cause célèbre in the conservative community?

How quickly will pols seeking to make hay grab onto such a case?

How much would that cause previous patients and their families to give scrutiny to any past visit that did not have a satisfactory outcome?

And most importantly will the insurance company that covers your facility decide at best to raise the rates they are charging because of the risk or fight any payout on the grounds that a deliberate failure to provide the proper care is a criminal act?

All of those risks are after the fact, consider this:

A medical college that openly pushes to radicalize doctors or nurses to consider those who don’t share an instructors hatred of conservatives or ICE or Trump as not worthy of treatment.

Can you imagine the risk you will have if you hire a graduate of such a program? Can you picture all of those consequences I already named exacerbated by hiring a person who has done any of those things listed above or marched in events during their college years? The negligence argument writes itself.

That being said I offer the following suggestions:

  1. Instruct your HR departments to screen potential hires social media posts for any such statements supporting violence as noted above.
  2. Instruct your HR departments to inform colleges that train medical professionals that candidates from any facility whose program is even perceived to encourage bias based on political affiliation will not be considered for any position
  3. Discharge any person who has precipitated in any of the above actions
  4. If discharge is not possible due to contract limitation give written notice that any such behavior as noted above will result in immediate discharge from the facility & a lawsuit to recover damages by the facility
  5. Implement immediate training for existing staff to make it clear that any such action will result in immediate discharge & a possible lawsuit to recover damages
  6. Implement training for all new hires to make clear that any such action will result in immediate discharge & a possible lawsuit to recover damages.
  7. Make such a policy an official policy of your facility

Such actions will protect you and your facility from the enormous financial risks involved in this behavior contrary to the best traditions of the medical profession.

It’s your call.

Why Minnesota? And What’s likely been going on and will Keep going on till Trump stops it.

The Judge: Now, it’s a surprisingly simple procedure. You’re to play your normal game, except when you are at bat. And then, under no circumstances, are you to hit the ball safely.

The Natural 1984

I suspect more than a few people are looking at Minnesota and wondering why we are seeing what we are seeing. Why is the left going all out including violence to protect illegal aliens and why are Democrats nationally defending these actions and even making threats concerning them?

The answers is really quite simple at least to me.

  • I suspect the sheer volume of dollars being stolen dwarfs anything that we suspect
  • I suspect the sheer number of Democrats getting rich off these dollars is larger than we suspect
  • I suspect the sheer number of illegal votes being produced by this enterprise is enough to steal a state
  • I submit that access to those dollars nationally is why Harris picked Walz as her VP choice
  • I suspect that this is going on in other blue states whose pols rather keep scrutiny on Minnesota
  • And I suspect key GOP members in those other states are being rewarded for ignoring it

Nicky Santoro: Now, notice how in the count room nobody ever seems to see anything. Somehow, somebody’s always looking the other way. Now, look at these guys. They look busy, right? They’re counting money. Who wants to bother them? I mean, God forbid they should make a mistake and forget to steal.

Casino 1995

Let’s take them in order. Each day we are getting more and more information from citizen journalists about fraud in Minnesota, about empty daycare centers, about non exist transport companies, about whole supposed infrastructures that simply don’t exist.

If this is the kind of money being produced by these locations how many others, particularly in the Somali community see this and say: “This is the life for me.” All you need is an address and a few people to process paperwork and BOOM here come the federal dollars. These aren’t a few businesses I suspect there are thousands, and I suspect they’re not just in the state capital, they’re all over the state because why wouldn’t there be if the risk/reward ratio was so low for so long?

Henry Hill: They called him Jimmy the Gent. The drivers loved him. They used to tip him off about the really good loads. Of course, everybody got a piece. And when the cops assigned a whole army to stop him, Jimmy made them partners.

Goodfellas 1990

It took these people no time at all to find any of this stuff. What does that tell you? It tells you that both the law enforcement, the regulatory and the press apparatus could have done these investigations and found all of this stuff because it was happening out in the open. That they didn’t means they were getting a piece of the action, either directly or indirection (ie press company gets ads from big dems when they don’t investigate)

Oddball: [Talking to German tank officer] You know what’s inside that bank, man? There’s 16 million dollars worth of gold in the bank, sweetheart. Mm-hm, mm-hm. [Tank officer’s eyes grow wide]

Big Joe: That’s about 65 million marks.

Kelly: And sergeant, all you have to do to have an equal share of this money is crank this turret around and blow a hole in that door. [He points to the bank. The German officer thinks about it for about two seconds, then blows the bank doors]

Kelly’s Heroes 1970

With a large community like the Somali’s voting as a block that’s hundreds of thousands of votes. That’s enough votes to transform a state and all the Democrats had to do in order to secure these votes (legal or illegal) was to open up those bank doors and let the cash flow, so that means even if there is illegalities they are going to play ball because that means the state is secure no matter what the average citizen wants or things.

Bart Maverick: I keep adding up 5% of $80,000 and it keeps coming out four thousand every time.

Maverick: The Third Rider 1957

When you look at election 2024 it seems that Tim Walz is a ridiculous choice for a running mate for Kamala Harris. He has no speaking skills and he comes from a state that the GOP has not carried since 1972.

But if you know that Tim Watz’s is the governor of a state that’s raking in Billions of dollars of federal money via fraud even a small percentage of that going to your national campaign is enough to keep you in clover for a while.

Or did you think it was just luck that Kamala had so much dough to blow in a short campaign. I suspect it wasn’t all just relief that Biden was out of the way.

Col William Travis: Every minute of time we buy for Sam Houston is another precious minute in the life of Texas. And nobody is ever going to say that William Barrett Travis did not buy every minute possible.

The Alamo 1960

If this type of thing is happening in Minnesota it’s very likely that it’s happening in other blue states like Maine, Illinois, Washington and California. There are already signs that fraud is becoming apparent in these other places. You would think that they would want this story to go away but national democrats have gone all in on Minnesota. They understand that if massive federal resources have to go to Minnesota to stop the fraud and violence those resources can’t be used to see what’s going on in Maine, or Illinois, or Washington or California.

It’s a losing fight in the long run but every day of delay is a day that the grift can go on elsewhere and the evidence can be destroyed or hidden elsewhere and those days and that graft is precious to those Democrats as the lives of their children, likely even more.

Israeli Ambassador: Israeli Intelligence says that East Yemen are going to invade St George’s Island in the next few days.

Prime Minister James Hacker: What? So that’s the connection.

Israeli Ambassador: Your Foreign Office have agreed with East Yemen that they’ll make strong diplomatic representations, but do nothing. In return, the Yemenis will let you keep your airport contract after they’ve taken over.

Yes Prime Minister: A Victory for Democracy 1986

You might wonder why some GOP governors like the governor of Ohio is saying things like fraud being “The price of doing business”. It’s quite simple. While in blue states they left has control of the state in red states their control is limited to cities, but that means votes in the legislature, votes that can be given or withheld at the party’s whim. As the graft is the priority since it makes people rich, as long as the graft & fraud is left alone they can make deals. And if such a deal means that there is a key rep absent for a vote that a high ranking GOP official needs a priority that’s bigger politically then saving federal dollars, well as the governor says, that’s the price of doing business.

Minnesota Shooting: Five Thoughts Under the Fedora: Leftists Crying in public rejoicing in private, Useful idiot Becomes even more Useful dead, One of Two “That Could Have Been Me” reactions, Evidence smemidence Narrative Uber Alles! and Bad Narcissistic Parenting

Well the moment that the left has been waiting for and working hard to achieve has finally come.

Lefty pols, lefty press and lefty activists have been doing all they can to produce a dead body that they can decide to lay at the feet of Trump and ICE and now that has come to pass. Several thoughts:

  1. Do not think for one moment that the pols the activists and the press are sad about this woman’s death. I submit and suggest they are absolutely delighted. This has been their goal for almost a year and they’ve done all they can to produce it. While they might have preferred a person of color to be the body in order to cry “racism” the fact that this is a white lesbian woman with children will fill the bill in other ways for them. While publicly they will wail and gnash their teeth I assure you privately they are overjoyed, particularly at the prospect of taking Minnesota fraud out of the news loop.
  2. I feel bad for the dead woman in question and her family. Not because her actions didn’t warrant getting shot, trying to run over a federal agent is a fine way to get yourself killed but while it’s possible that she was all in on the “ICE is the Gestapo” business based on reporting she was persuaded to come down and her lawfully married spouse who was busy was busy blaming herself for making her come down there. Now her dead body and her family are going to be exploited again by the left and used as a prop. You’ll see tearful pols and angry leftists screaming bloody murder and talking fondly of the dead as a brave warrior for freedom when she was in fact a useful idiot who is more useful now that she’s dead than alive.
  3. This will have one of two effects on the rest of the useful idiots out there being paid to harass ICE who should at this point realize: “Oh my God this could have been me!”. I suspect given the idiocy of the left we will get a lot more of the 2nd than the first.
    • What the hell am I doing out here risking getting killed? The money isn’t worth it, I’m being used!
    • This lady will be remembered as a “hero” If it happens to me my life will have meaning and purpose at last!
  4. The fact that there is plenty of video evidence that this woman refused to leave her car when ordered and was trying to run down the Ice agent (whether due to panic or malice) will be immaterial to either the leftist pols or the leftist media or anyone else. Their narrative is out there and no actual physical evidence will matter. Tim Waltz particular is going to go all in as the topic is no longer him or the scandals in the state and even better for the left the President’s success in Venezuela and vs Russia and the revolt in Iran, all of them stories they do NOT want to cover, can be pushed to the back burner. Reality doesn’t matter to these people, just the narrative and now they have their narrative and they’ll push it through as many news cycles as they can, oh and don’t think for one moment that those involved in the fraud will use this distraction caused by this to destroy records etc that will hurt their cause.
  5. Finally Consider this from a non-political angle. You’re a woman with young children, what the HELL are you doing harassing federal agent during the day and taking this kind of risk? What kind of example are you setting? With your spouse filming are you really more interested in getting a viral moment than being a mother to your children? What parent sets this kind of example, and if she was pressured by her spouse what parent doesn’t resist such pressure for the sake of her kids? It reminds me of the transgender craze where mothers are spaying their own kids for status. It’s bad parenting, it’s narcissism and her kids are going to pay the price for the rest of their lives.

Five Christmas Season Thoughts Under the Fedora: The Standard of How Great the US is, Human Progress Two Measures, Too accustomed to Trump’s Success or A Psi-op? $2.63 That’s five water/sewer bills and Temps, Finally Yes Minister in Minnesota

For all the horrible things our friends on the left say about America being racist, sexist unequal etc etc etc let me make one important point.

This horrible America of which you speak is so great that given the choice between going back to their own countries at no cost to themselves with $3000 in their pockets (An amount higher than the average yearly income in 54 countries) or staying in the US and risking arrest and deportation the majority choose the former.

On twitter today saw a post about how difficult it was to program back in the punch card era compared to today when you can literally ask a AI to create code for you. The fellow marveled at the progress in just 50 years and he’s right about that but let me tell you want progress really is:

Being able to feed a family of four a hot meal with meat for less than an hour wages? THAT’s human progress that king and princes could only dream of.

It’s very easy to forget that Donald Trump has been back in office for less than a year. This is because of his insane work ethic and the breakneck speed that things have been

The amount of things he has managed to get done in these first 11 months is so vast that any other president in history would have considered it a grand set of accomplishments for a full term and quite a few presidents would have been lucky to accomplish as much over two terms. Any person with a even a slight grasp of US history could see this.

Yet lately my X feed has been bombarded by posts aren’t happening fast enough in the Trump administration from cracking down on fraud to arrests, particularly arrests. The post seem unrelenting

I’m thinking this is one of two things or possibly both.

It could be that people just have gotten so used to Trump getting things done fast they can’t grasp the idea that getting things done in Washington is the exception not the rule. It’s sort of how Patriots fans were spoiled by Tom Brady basically making a trip to the Super bowl every other year and acting like something was wrong when we didn’t

It could also be a PSI-op to anger Trump supporters to trick them into staying home in 2026 and try to drive his numbers down.

Frankly if it was my job to try to foment dissent within MAGA that’s how I’d try do it.

One must always remember that most pols aren’t saints. There are some who will do the right thing out of principle (although they might disagree on what the “right thing” is) but in the end most will only do the right thing if the incentive is greater than doing the wrong thing or nothing at all.

That’s reality

When I went to mass yesterday I passed by the cheapest gas station in town which is conveniently located next to my church.

Gas was $2.63 a gallon. That’s a full 16 cents less per gallon than it was two months ago.

Over the course of a year that’s enough saving for me and DaWife to pay 5 water bills or allow us to go out to eat 5 times.

If that’s not enough Friday when I went to work there were no temps in the building.

That it itself is not unusual for the day after Christmas, but what WAS unusual is that Friday was the first day this month when there were no temps in the building.

Last year the temps were gone by December 3rd and at no time during the Biden presidency where they here for more than a week.

The Trump boom is coming in fact it might be already here.

One of the things about importing people from a different culture who don’t want to become Americans is importing a different value system.

A great illustration of this was shown nearly 50 years ago on the TV show “Yes Minister” in an episode called: “The Moral Dimension”

A great explanation of how this works comes from this excellent post on X

Key Quote:

The weird thing about this to me was that whenever I turned down such an offering, it was treated as a grave insult. I was the one in the wrong, and not the fraudster trying to bribe me. They considered it rude that I was in their country and refused to accept how things got done. After all, why did I not want to help my tribe by helping their tribe?

Let me repeat: in these cultures, FRAUD IS NOT EVEN A CONCEPT. There is only what helps your tribe.

They people have no concept that stealing is wrong, unless you’re stealing from them. The stealing doesn’t shock these folks, what shocks them is that we weren’t already doing it on the scale that they are.

Until that changes things won’t change.
