The Biden administration opened an investigation into Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s flight of illegal immigrants from the U.S.-Mexico border to Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, last month. The Treasury Department’s inspector general confirmed it is evaluating whether DeSantis allegedly misused COVID-19 relief funds to send the illegal aliens to the wealthy liberal hotspot, said Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) (snip) A Treasury Department inspector general letter (pdf), dated Oct. 7 and posted by the senator’s office Wednesday, told Markey and other members of Congress that it will evaluate Florida’s COVID-19-related spending. That probe was part of a broader investigation into how states used billions of dollars sent to them

Comments:

Interesting that Treasury suddenly cares what Covid funds are being used for. In Florida.

This is why Trump needs to take the next term. He's learned how to fight. He's aligning hundreds of people and helping them get elected. If he can stay out of jail with the power of the democrats trying with all their might to do that, then he will be able to do a lot to fix the country. DiSantis needs a learning curve. He will be an excellent president one day, but he's too new to the field to win just yet.

Trump isn't going to jail. The people who want him gone are more the arkancidal types. Jail would just make him even more of a martyr.

Legitimate expense, per the rhetoric of this administration. The illegal aliens did not get the so-called "vaccine", therefore posed a risk per the White House, which kept referring to the "pandemic of the unvaccinated". So use of Covid funds to remove a Covid threat is a valid use of the money. FJB.

Take the log out of your own eyes, Federal Government. You are not protecting our National sovereignty, making us less safe, using the taxpayer monies frivolously and extravagantly on people who have broken our laws.

Purpose of this “audit” announcement was to over shadow DeSantis truly remarkable accomplishment of providing a temporary bridge to Sanibel and Captiva Islands so that crews could start rebuilding these devastated barrier islands. Audit announcement came less than 48 hours after bridge reopening. Democrats are diabolicaly clever in using the Federal government to their political advantage. Then again, the Federal government is a wholly owned subsidiary of the DNC, so propaganda is to be expected.

The Left used to accuse imperialist, resource-hungry Yanquis in Washington of cutting selfish deals with illiberal dictatorships in Latin America to grab their natural resources. How odd then that Joe Biden is now begging the despicable Maduro regime in Venezuela—corrupt, murderous, and anti-American—to produce more of its oil solely to send northward to America. Biden is quite willing to ease sanctions and condone the human rights abuses of Maduro—if his dictatorship will just open its oil spigots before the November midterm elections. Biden in 2020 campaigned on the supposed evil nature of the Saudi Arabian monarchy. Yet after vainly entreating Venezuela, Iran, and Russia, it was inevitable that Biden would

The Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) released the September wage report [DATA HERE] delivering worse economic news for workers. Real wages are dropping at a historic rate as inflation continues to rise and as a result wages buy less. [BLS] “Real average hourly earnings decreased 3.0 percent, seasonally adjusted, from September 2021 to September 2022. The change in real average hourly earnings combined with a decrease of 0.9 percent in the average workweek resulted in a 3.8-percent decrease in real average weekly earnings over this period.” (link) (image Real Wage Chart)

In response to a petition from Democratic lawmakers, the department’s inspector general wrote in an October 7 letter that the agency would investigate whether Florida misused federal funds to relocate illegal immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard.

Pennsylvania's election laws have historically required voters to include a signature and date on the outside of return envelopes when voting by mail. However, acting Secretary of State Leigh Chapman announced that Pennsylvania election officials should continue counting ballots that arrive with improperly filled-out envelopes, in accordance with the Commonwealth Court's previous ruling on the matter.
