Benefits Scam

The government claims to fight “child poverty” by providing benefits to low-income families so their children don’t starve. These programs also cover the citizen children of illegal aliens. Eligibility is based on the parents’ income. However, illegal aliens working off the books do not have Social Security numbers, do not file income tax declarations, and are not even supposed to be employed. Because their income cannot be verified, the government simply accepts whatever number they write down. And if it is below threshold, the government gives them benefits.

No western country will ever solve the poverty problem, because the left's open border policy imports more of it every year. The left media whines that 25% live below the poverty line. The 25% number has not moved in 100 years of leftism, because the left always finds more illegals that can be imported.

Once upon a time, and there are still people living to remember this, there were no federal assistance programs. Any assistance was provided by individuals. Churches and charitable groups. Back in the day, the poor didn't have smart phones, computers, air conditioning, cars, refrigerators, Air Jordan sneakers etc. What does it say that the biggest health issue that the poor face is obesity? Government assistance is no longer assistance, its a lifestyle. Look, I'm a bit liberal on this issue. As the world's wealthiest nation, we have an obligation to help those "in need", not those gaming the system. We shouldn't have people starving or living in cardboard boxes. But, we also shouldn't be paying for bon bons, Apple iPhones and accommodations at swanky hotels. And would it be too much to ask that the recipients show a little gratitude and stop demanding more. Oh, and get a job.

One child may be a mistake and might require assistance, but multiple children are not. Working taxpayers should not be liable for baby-mamas that have multiple children for the express purpose of grifting the government!

Nearly one decade after leaving the White House, Michelle Obama is ready to talk about her fashion choices and the attention placed on her appearance during her eight years as first lady. The former first lady sat down with "Good Morning America" co-anchor Robin Roberts ahead of the release of her new book, "The Look," an in-depth and personal look at her White House style. In the book, Obama explains for the first time the level of intention she placed on her fashion choices as first lady, and the messages she wanted to send with those choices.

A liberal Maryland Supreme Court justice, Peter Killough, is facing backlash over political Halloween decorations. Some of the decorations included gravestones that read, "Here lies the Constitution," "RIP Freedom of Speech," "RIP Food Aid," "Beware Health Insurance Cuts," "RIP Due Process," and "RIP Climate Science." Critics are saying the decorations cast doubt on whether Killough can rule fairly and impartially in cases before the court, especially as the Maryland Supreme Court is currently hearing a high-stakes environmental case. That case, Mayor & City Council of Baltimore v. BP P.L.C., involves a lawsuit brought by Baltimore officials against major oil companies, accusing them of knowingly misleading the public

FIRST ON FOX: One of President Donald Trump’s most vocal critics, Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., is raising eyebrows over a "bizarre inconsistency" in his campaign’s Federal Election Commission filings that list several different reasons for payments to a Haitian American staffer, totaling over $360,000. FEC filings from Swalwell for Congress and his Remedy PAC, dating back to 2021 and as recently as last month, show over 75 payments to an individual named Darly Meyer, with various reasons given for the disbursements. Individual payments vary from as little as $53 to over $12,000. Based on the payments, Meyer has earned varying amounts each year, including over 27 payments

The White House will resume its public tours at the beginning of December after pausing new bookings in August amid construction for President Donald Trump's new ballroom addition. The construction of Trump's now estimated $300 million ballroom has garnered widespread criticism, with former First Lady and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton accusing Trump of "destroying" the White House. Just last week, photos of construction equipment tearing down parts of the East Wing went viral on social media. Trump had previously said that the build for the new ballroom "won't interfere with the current building."

I grew up in the Warrendale neighborhood of Detroit, which borders the city of Dearborn. I could see the gold-domed Islamic Center of America from my grandparents' corner, or whenever I went to church at St. Thomas Aquinas, now Saint Juan Diego Parish, where I was baptized. We didn't trick-or-treat in Dearborn, as many of the houses didn't participate. Their Fordson High School soccer team beat ours every time.

Walmart says its stores will remain open as a possible lapse in food aid threatens to disrupt shopping patterns nationwide. A Walmart spokesperson told The Dallas Express via telephone on Wednesday that “Walmart stores will be open,” and implied that the company would be monitoring the situation closely. The potential suspension of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits could significantly impact retailers nationwide, particularly those heavily reliant on lower-income shoppers. The looming halt in benefits, set to begin November 1 if the government shutdown continues, would cut off food aid for roughly 42 million Americans. Analysts and economists have warned that the shock could ripple across the retail sector, reducing grocery sales, depressing

The explosive Arctic Frost investigation documents that FBI Director Kash Patel dispatched to Congress include a revelation of another October surprise where the bureau tried to put its law enforcement thumb on an election scale against Donald Trump. This one, unlike Russia collusion four years earlier, occurred in 2020. A memo buried in the middle of the 235-page evidence production that Patel sent the House Judiciary Committee this week chronicles how the FBI’s Washington Field Office rifled through financial records and campaign expenditure reports producing a “tactical intelligence report” trying to link payments between Trump’s re-election campaign and a vendor named American Made Media Consultants (AMMC) to possible casino gambling.

No Food Stamps. No Section 8 housing. No Medicaid. No Cash Assistance. Not one penny. Not one. If you want free stuff, go home,” Fine wrote in a post on X. Fine's proposal comes as national debates continue over taxpayer-funded benefits and the strain of illegal immigration on social services.

Kollar-Kotelly, who was appointed by former President Bill Clinton, claimed in her decision that “the proof-of-citizenship directive is an unconstitutional violation of the separation of powers,”

The crises at the heart of the government shutdown fight in Washington were coming to a head Saturday as the federal food assistance program faced delays and millions of Americans were set to see a dramatic rise in their health insurance bills. The impacts on basic needs — food and medical care — underscored how the impasse is hitting homes across the United States. Plans by the Trump administration to freeze payments to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program on Saturday were halted by federal judges, but the delay in payouts will still likely leave millions of people short on their grocery bills.

Judge James Boasberg's chickens may finally be coming home to roost. The Obama-nominated chief judge of the United States District Court for D.C. now faces impeachment articles that Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Tex.) filed, thanks to explosive revelations surrounding Operation Arctic Frost—a coordinated effort that saw 197 subpoenas unleashed against Republicans in Congress and citizens during the Biden administration. The specifics make your blood boil. Then-Special Counsel Jack Smith sought Sen. Ted Cruz's communications from AT&T, and Boasberg rubber-stamped the request. But here's where it gets really ugly: Boasberg issued an order explicitly prohibiting AT&T from notifying Cruz that his records were being seized.

But mixed into these complaints is a viral article highlighting that roughly 90,000 noncitizens will also lose SNAP access — not because of the shutdown, but because of the One Big Beautiful Bill. Advocates for noncitizens using taxpayer-funded welfare are using the moment of outrage about SNAP benefits pausing to pile on their grievances.
