Conservative filmmaker James OKeefe released the first installment in a new video investigation Monday morning, this one focused on Medicaid fraud. The first video in the series shows government employees in Ohio assisting two men who have described themselves as Russian drug smugglers with applications for Medicaid.
In the video, the men explain to Ohio Medicaid workers that they are Russian immigrants who sell illegal drugs, drive a modified McLaren F1 sports car with a gold-coated engine, and use their underage sisters to perform sexual favors in exchange for drugs.

Just when Ohio's new Republican governor broke the government unions and cut spending enough to move the budget into the black. Let's see how long the traditional media manage to pretend it didn't happen this time; I'll start with two weeks before Mr. Breitbart's PR expertise wins the day for yet another story....
President Obama may soon find his Medicaid problem is solved at the state level, leaving him only the rest of the budget to wrestle with.

Yeah, I've heard of the type. They probably have a couple of toy giraffes for pets. Each. No problem-o getting them signed up for The Program--the more, the merrier!

"He's best known for digging into government records to find a way to punish Joe the Plumber."
I presume he needs to be confirmed by the Senate (or is he going to be another "Czar"?).
Hope some Republican Senator asks him at the hearing to explain how his digging into the life of a private citizen, just because said citizen pointed out the Emperor's New Clothes, prepared him to "protect" consumers. And who else he intends to ensnare in his "protection" racket.

Lloyd Williams, director of both the nonprofit Harlem Week Inc. and the Greater Harlem Chamber of Commerce, paid his own for-profit firm $157,469 in 2009 from Harlem Week funds. The firm, LMR Productions, has reaped $587,383 from Harlem Week Inc. in the past four years, according to tax filings. The money is for "solicitation fees," although the nature of the expenses is not further explained in the tax documents.
The Greater Harlem Chamber of Commerce pays for LMR Productions' services as well, a total of $123,069 in 2009 and 2010. A firm owned by Williams' wife, Harlem Renaissance Tours, got $1,800 from the chamber in 2010.
The Greater Harlem Chamber of Commerce is funded with membership dues and state grants, and is supported by pols, including Rep. Charles Rangel, who obtained a $282,000 earmark for it in 2008 from the Small Business Administration. Williams is a longtime supporter of Rangel, having donated $7,100 to him or his PAC between 1999 and 2010.
Rangel's office claimed the earmark was meant "to create jobs and increase economic development opportunities." But how the money was spent is unclear.

Rangel's back at it. Oh, he never quit the shell-game shenanigans? There was a very brief interruption while he was the star witness at House hearings and then back to the same old same old funneling of the Federal largess to his constituents and favorite causes. Is he still storing his car in the House parking garage in the long-term parking area?
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
