🚨You know when Hamas says journalists were killed, and Israel says they were Hamas members all along? This is a bit like that: a photographer tripping over a cop and being actively involved in the riots. Sometimes a press pass is the best disguise going.

🚨 BREAKING: The Minnesota U.S. Attorney’s Office has a Somali man in custody who was plotting to commit a mass casualty event at the Mall of America. This comes after two Somali gang shootings occurred in the neighboring city of Eden Prairie. This is getting out of hand.

Azerbaijan has had very good intel inside Iran, including IRGC and nuclear issues, for decades.
Replying to @michaeldweiss
Explains interest in Iran nuclear program. Also raises a lot of questions about who the intel might have been shared with. Baku has close ties with the Israelis, Turks, Russians, Americans, et al.

NEW: A new DHS Inspector General report finds the Biden administration took almost no enforcement action against visa overstays, including public safety threats, and arrested only a handful out of millions. The numbers are stunning. From FY21-FY24: - ICE received over 3.1 million visa overstay leads, roughly 104,000 of which had public safety or national security concerns. But that resulted in only 496 investigations by ICE (2%) and ONLY EIGHT ARRESTS. - A September 2021 Mayorkas policy memo directed ICE to target only illegal immigrants considered “Priority 1 leads” (highest threat to public safety). Out of 1,769 viable Priority 1 visa overstay leads, ICE only conducted 84 investigations (5%), resulting in ONLY 2 ARRESTS. - The majority of the more than 3 million visa overstay leads were deemed “non-priority”. 2.8 million of these “non-priority” leads were sent to ICE for investigation, leading to just 5 investigations and ONLY TWO ARRESTS. (out of 2.8 million!) Another shocking piece of the report, visa overstays tracked by CBP exploded by 364% during Biden’s first full year in office (Fiscal Year 2022). CBP tracked visa overstays in FY2021: 171,269 CBP tracked visa overstays in FY2022: 795,167 THE DHS IG concluded the 2021 Mayorkas memo is largely behind the lack of enforcement. “ICE conducted few nonimmigrant overstay lead-initiated investigations and arrested even fewer foreign nationals who stayed beyond or violated the terms of their admission because of the September 2021 policy that directed ICE’s limited resources only to leads posing a threat to national security, public safety, and border security. When ICE did attempt to pursue action on a lead, it encountered challenges verifying addresses and locating the foreign nationals present in the United States. Further, ICE did not have sufficient resources to pursue all overstay leads.” Link to report: oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/fi…

I have just completed what I believe to be the most comprehensive evaluation of Charlotte NC arrest records in history. This project has taken me 3 months to complete, combing through over 50,000+ arrest records and mugshots. I've found what appears to be massive fraud. Thousands of Hispanics have been labelled as "WHITE CAUCASIAN" in the arrest records... THOUSANDS. In fact, I found over 500 cases where Hispanics who were arrested more than once... had their "Ethnicity" CHANGED from "Hispanic" to "Caucasian" from one arrest to another. Horrifyingly, I found HUNDREDS of these "White Caucasians" were actually ILLEGAL ALIENS from foreign countries with ICE detainers. Perhaps most disturbing... Many of the illegal aliens who were labelled as "WHITE CAUCASIAN" had already been released back into the public, DESPITE the ICE detainer requesting they stay in prison. We have a serious problem.

Edina: I watched the so-called meeting last night. For the Somalis who said there needs to be more for kids to do in Edina to keep them out of trouble, the irony is the Somalis are shooting up the places that are created for people to have things to do. A new soccer field in Edina isn't going to stop what's happening. Hell, they would shoot that up as well. Somalis are shooting up parks; school athletic events; graduations; church basketball courts, etc. These are Somalis with cars and guns. They don't want to play soccer. #Edina
Replying to @FOX9
The meeting was mostly deflection from leaders with grifters and Somali whiners in between. A few sane people were allowed to speak. Edina is a playground, yet the Somalis want more while taking no responsibility for their actions. If you can't find anything to do in Edina that is fun and/or fulfilling at low cost as a kid, you have some really bad parents or you're a kid just looking for trouble.

About that plague… @thespybrief
In the 1990s I worked with Ken Alibek, the former No. 2 in the Soviet biological weapons program, after he defected to the US. He claimed that they had engineered a strain of plague that was antibiotic-resistant & that they had worked on plague chimeras (fusing 2 or more pathogens). He specifically called out Irkutsk for being involved in the BW program. This outbreak is deeply worrisome. This may not be just “the plague.” It may be far worse.

European establishment politics is in its death throes all and willing to resort to authoritarianism to hang on, all over a refusal to accede to the public on immigration. Just an insane spectacle that can’t be made sense of.
Emmanuel Macron says American free speech is "the opposite of free speech." In his view, freedom only exists inside a "common framework" set by the state. He compared posting an insult online to hitting someone in the street. Those are different things, because one is speech and the other is violence. He wants people punished for posting "nonsense," with state-backed fact-checkers deciding what qualifies. He wants a verified identity behind every social media account. He has written to Ursula von der Leyen demanding the DSA be enforced "much faster, much more forcefully." reclaimthenet.org/macron-urg…

Russia's five-hospital quarantine, FSB involvement, and reported hazmat use in response to the death of a single researcher at a weapons-lineage Irkutsk lab are inconsistent with a lab-acquired plague infection, which would have been treated with prophylactic antibiotics. 1/4

@DrOzCMS I'm going to give you a few of these so you know what to look for. Hospital name is included. ONE CODE - Metabolic Panel. Prices are there. Kind of. Who gets to decide who pays $311 for a metabolic panel or $5.40 for the same panel. Or is the $5.40 for the pathologist to "read it". There's no modifier listed so there's no way to know. Look closely - how can a standard charge max be higher than the gross charge? Why does Aetna pay way more than cash pay? This is just a partial "chargemaster". What does it tell you? They're located in Tifton, GA. Let me know when they pay the fine. While you're at it, could you please determine why they pay an on-staff cardiologist over $2M, several other physicians over 7 figures and an attorney nearly $800K?? Not a big county - not a big hospital (181 beds). The per capita income in that county is less than $30K. The poverty rate is 20%. Make it make sense. Can you? Inquiring minds want to know. Do you really want to know or are you just another talking head?

I sat my 7-year-old down and explained to him that dying industries (legacy media, academia, DNC politics) ride algorithmically driven cultural hysterias both because it’s the only way they can stay relevant and because their business models demand it. He looked up at me and with a tear in his eyes asked, ‘so, for the sake of the journos, the assistant professors, and Dem Politics Inc, we’re obligated to attest to the moral urgency of the hysteria and act completely emotionally dysregulated?’ ‘Yes,’ I answered him. ‘Yes, that’s right.’ And then we both sat quietly.

Somali gang members fired shots outside a high school homecoming game in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. Local police confirmed it. Your reminder that Soros-backed Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty dismissed concerns about Somali gangs earlier this year. This is what suicidal empathy looks like.

When HDHPs started to become a "thing", I thought they may be the best things since sliced bread.... for about an hour (or less). An HDHP sounds good at face value - a triple tax savings vehicle. Maybe - for a chosen few. First, the premiums for a HDHP aren't really that much lower than other plans. Second, if you pay for an HDHP, you also get the honor of paying the first $2000, $3000, etc. of your healthcare expenses. I just talked to a group last week. When I asked what their premium was, they said "$456 for single". I told them that it could be better but it wasn't the worse I'd seen and then ask what the individual deductible was. $9000!!! That isn't a plan, that is theft by deception. These people are paying over $5000 per year so that they can pay $9000 per year if they need healthcare. Total - $14K per year before those billions dollar insurance companies PAY A DIME! That's $1166/month if major medical is needed. That's groceries for a month - life sustaining food not "just in case I have a heart attack" money. So, THEN you get to delays, denials, etc. Imagine paying $14K for coverage for life saving medical needs to be denied. That is what happens. 40% of health plans in the U.S. are ERISA plans - State insurance laws don't really apply so State Insurance Commissioners are off the hook for those. Then you get to the word "law". Sadly, "law" applies to those chosen by the government for it to apply to. Laws are written but not enforced. The Transparency Act has been in effect for over 5 years. It's just paper. An Executive Order was signed to enforce that law. It's just paper. Then you get to our ever faithful IRS - non-profit hospitals are holding BILLIONS in "profit", buying up real estate every second of every day - real estate that they pay ZERO real estate taxes on causing the real estate taxes of average Americans to skyrocket AND, since the real estate is owned by the hospital, they get to charge you for the luxury of walking through the friggin' door to see your doctor, who they also own, so they can overcharge you again.... meanwhile, in the C-Suites, CEOs are making tens of millions in salaries, flying on chartered plains, joining social clubs (hospitals pay the dues), etc. Does the IRS care? No. When is the last time a non-profit was audited. Now ask "when is the last time the IRS audited a normal business man?" Daily. Hourly. Lest we not forget, our government mandates that employers with over 50 employees cover their employees and the government mandates what must be covered (aka - they have to pay for coverage for their employees that may not be coverage at all when needed). Employers can give their employees money to buy coverage BUT, that money must be used to buy coverage on an individual basis. They can't just bank it and use it for medical expenses. By law, they MUST purchase what is called "insurance" from the same corrupt organizations that were sell it to employers. Then lets get to the $1M claim. I've seen dozens of $1M claims in 30 years. Never have I seen one that was actually payable at $1M. Hospitals inflate charges, they unbundle charges and they simply make up charges. But still, a claim should be paid, no matter what the amount, when medically necessary. To Mark's point - the entire healthcare industry (with the few exceptions of independent physicians, labs, imaging, etc) IS compromised. And finally, if you are looking at a health insurance product, period, BE CAREFUL - it is likely rigged against you. Do not, under any circumstance, believe that any form of government is coming to save you from healthcare costs. We are on our own. As a side note, our government, with its last CAA, made being the fiduciary over a health plan more burdensome on company CEOs, owners, etc. so not only does the government look the other way, they put the burden of overseeing the health plans on YOU, the employer and that burden is immense.
So I went down the rabbit hole of trying to determine what are the economics for someone, who is currently healthy , to go to a HDHP with a 10k plus deductible. The question I asked is “I dont trust insurance companies. What happens if I have a million dollar emergency and they won’t pay “. All I can say is WTF If they don’t pay, there are Independent Review Organizations, who are supposed to be independent, and their decision to pay or not is final. I asked for examples of companies. One was ExamWorks. That rang a bell. These motherfuckers are the same company that issued a ridiculous denial for a patient I was trying to help. So I knew the Too Big To Care, vertically integrated insurance companies hired them to do DENIALS !!! WTF. The biggest customers of the companies that are the final decision makers for insurance carrier denials, are the biggest insurance companies. That is beyond fucked up. It’s the definition of conflict of interest. How do state insurance commissioners allow this ? The high deductible plans that many people say is the solution to fixing how we do insurance, may be effectively compromised If you are looking at a HDHP, BE CAREFUL It might just be rigged against you
