With the Trump administration beginning to close the spigot of billions in federal aid that many states lavishly spent caring for illegal migrants, sates including California, Colorado, Illinois, New York, Oregon Washington, and the District of Columbia are finding that they cannot afford to replace the chocked off federal dollars with their own state budget dollars. This reality setting in has caused state officials to begin scaling back their freebies to illegals, which all come at the expense of American citizens.
According to the Washington Examiner, 14 states have had been devoting untold millions to migrants, for their children, and for pregnant, non-citizen women.
But after President Donald Trump signed his “Big Beautiful” spending bill, cutting billions in federal aid with cuts to Medicaid, CHIP, Medicare, and Obamacare insurance subsidies, many states have been forced to make decisions about their migrant programs.
The cutbacks also reflect the Democrats’ difficulty in funding their hugely expensive urban political machines. Those “Sanctuary City Ponzi scheme” political machines need poor migrants to help conduit federal funds back to local city and state politicians, partly because many productive Americans move away to low-migration cities and states that have lower taxes, less diversity, better schools, higher wages, and cheaper housing.
Thus far, California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota and Washington the District of Columbia have already begun cutting free migrant healthcare budgets. And several others are in the process of evaluating similar measures.
[DELMARVAPTC] In a move to protect educational excellence, consistency and standards, the State of Carolina has become the first state in the U.S. to ban "grade floor" policies in K-12 public schools.
For those who are not familiar with the "grade floor" policy, it is a practice that prevents teachers from giving a student a grade below the actual percentage the student earned.
The most common "floor" school systems adopt is the 50% minimum. Basically, a student need not do any work to earn at least a 50%. It's part of what is called "equity grading" which should be correctly called "enabling grading" because it enables students to appoint themselves as "victims" in order to skate by without achieving educational proficiency in school. It teaches students that they can't and don't have to achieve, especially when they face difficult content or situations. We have published several articles on this crippling policy.
[IsraelTimes] North Korea ...hereditary Communist monarchy distinguished by its truculence and periodic acts of violence. Distinguishing features include Songun (Army First) policy, which involves feeding the army before anyone but the Dear Leadership, and Juche, which is Kim Jong Il's personal interpretation of Marxism-Leninism, which he told everybody was brilliant. In 1950 the industrialized North invaded agrarian South Korea. Twenty-one countries of the United Nations eventually contributed to the UN force opposing the invasion, with the United States providing around 90% of the military personnel. Seventy years later the economic results are in and it doesn't look good for Juche... fired several missiles, including at least one short-range ballistic missile, toward waters off its west coast, South Korea’s military says.
It followed another launch by the North on April 19, in which it fired multiple short-range missiles in what state-media described as a demonstration of cluster bomb warheads.
North Korean leader Kim Pudge Jong-un ...the overweight, pouty-looking hereditary potentate of North Korea. Pudge appears to believe in his own divinity, but has yet to produce any loaves and fishes, so his subjects remain malnourished... has focused on expanding his nuclear and missile arsenals since nuclear diplomacy with US President Donald Trump ...The Hero of Butler, Pennsylvania... collapsed in 2019.
Trump has repeatedly expressed his desire to resume talks with Kim, but Pyongyang has so far ignored the overtures and urged Washington to drop demands for the North’s nuclear disarmament as a precondition for talks.
Kim has taken an increasingly hardline stance toward South Korea, which he has declared his country’s permanent and most hostile enemy while diplomacy is stalled and tensions rise over his nuclear ambitions.

So, what you're saying is: they suckered "Ivy League leftist Marxist", who suckered the rest of you?
No, more like a page out of the "Ivy League Leftist Marxist"* playbook. We shall lift up the downtrodden and get paid really really well for it. The Somalis make great partners due to the scaminiferous nature of their culture.

Foxes are cunning when they get into the chicken coop. They're not the intelligence enough to build the coop and raise the chickens. The fox leaves that to the lazy and inattentive farmer to provide.

Perhaps the IRS should do a deep dive on Newsom's and Hochul's taxes up to the statue of limitations and subject them to the most intensive investigation possible.
[FoxNews] David J. Rush allegedly claimed $40M in gold bars and foreign currency were for 'work-related expenses'
A former senior U.S. government official with top secret security clearance was arrested after the FBI raided his Virginia home and discovered a staggering $40 million stash of gold bars, $2 million in cash and 35 luxury watches, court documents reveal.
David J. Rush was arrested May 19 and is facing federal charges for theft of public money after allegedly swindling the government out of tens of millions of dollars while posing as a highly decorated Navy Reserve captain and Air Force test pilot.
He held a senior position with the CIA until recently, according to a report from The New York Times.
According to an unsealed criminal complaint and FBI affidavit, the grift unraveled after Rush made multiple requests to his agency between November 2025 and March 2026 for a "significant quantity of foreign currency and tens of millions of dollars in gold bars."
Rush claimed the payout was strictly for "work-related expenses," but an FBI search of his home on May 18 turned up roughly 303 one-kilogram gold bars, $2 million in U.S. currency and dozens of luxury watches, many of which were Rolexes, according to court documents.
A federal investigation revealed that despite holding a Senior Executive Service (SES) rank and Top Secret/SCI clearance, Rush routinely lied about his military background and education.
In applications for his high-level job, Rush claimed he was a graduate of the U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School and the "current director of test for a 145-person, 18-aircraft joint Army/Navy weapons test organization," according to court documents.
However, military records show Rush was never a pilot and held no FAA licenses; his actual duties in the Navy included working as an information systems technician. "But I played MS's Flight Simulator!"
He also allegedly faked his educational credentials to boost his federal salary, claiming he held a bachelor’s degree from Clemson University and a master's degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, according to the filings.
Registrars from both universities confirmed to the FBI they have no record of Rush ever attending their schools.
Further, the FBI claims that Rush scammed the government out of $77,000 in fraudulent military leave, claiming 744 hours of paid time off by telling his employer he was actively serving as a Navy Reserve captain (O-6) through September 2025.
Rush was honorably discharged a decade earlier, in February 2015, as a lieutenant (O-3), according to court documents.
He is currently being held in federal custody by the U.S. Marshals after a judge initially denied his request for release.
Rush recently waived his right to a preliminary hearing, and a magistrate judge found probable cause to move the case to a grand jury.
The FBI and CIA did not immediately respond to inquiries from Fox News Digital.

I'm hazarding a guess he was in the Support Directorate. The CIA doesn't publicly list their SIS/SES positions. And whoever did the background check for him needs to be canned too.

/\ Yes, very likely National Resource Division (NRD)...'Back in the rear with the gear' division. Not generally as accountable as deployers, as I recall. Not the Ralph Goff type.
I hope they 'run the traps' on Dave. There is that odd chance.... he was not acting alone.
