Thank you and Happy New Year to you!

I can so relate to Gary.: ) Yes, I should have been ready for the backlash but I was so careful to frame it in what I thought was a fair and balanced way, this is why it came as such a surprise. Algorithms

You can say that again! It's very stressful to drive long distances in this stuff. Yes, people's reactions can be disappointing these days. I never imagined in a million years someone would have a problem

It's great to hear from you again! There are new reports in the American media about a possible peace-deal happening so I'm hoping 2026 is the year you will all again live in peace. Take care of yourselves

We have to agree to move beyond any sense of the "verbotten" when it means all American taxpayers, of all colors and creeds, are being taken advantage of. I see more and more willingness to openly

Exposing this to the light of the day is a huge step forward but I'm not 100% certain any lasting reform will happen, I hope so! I'm glad you're on the mend! I was worried when I didn't see you write for

There are vast cultural differences, that's to be sure. I firmly believe that immigrant groups should have to assimilate into the countries they become citizens of. As far as I know every single wave of

That's how reform is paralyzed.

This is fascinating to me. There's a clear pattern of individuals who've discovered ways to tap into this being "silenced". Nikola Tesla definitely had this figured out.

I agree. Walz and many others elected officials should be behind bars if any of this can be proven and there's a fair trial. My fear is both parties are likely implicated in this and will probably protect

From what we've experienced here in Minnesota Somalis aren't interested in assimilating into Western culture but rather work to recreate Somali in whatever country they immigrate to. They live in somewhat

I believe it's nationwide, unfortunately. Minnesota is just getting the spotlight right now.

The elected officials have to know and probably devised the plan in the first place. There are increasingly more people calling for the resignation of our governor (Walz). State employees are reporting

Absolutely. It's disheartening to watch this fraud as so many middle class families are struggling for just their basic necessities.

Yes, indeed.

Unfortunately, it appears America takes fraud to entirely new heights. Some estimate trillions of taxpayer dollars have been wasted. This might explain a large part of the multi-trillion dollar deficit.

It's insane how deep this fraud goes and, I believe, it's going on in almost every State and at a Federal level. Getting Americans to just agree that the fraud is theft and is bad is an uphill battle.

The agencies and politicians absolutely are benefiting. On the surface they benefit from the votes and are very likely pocketing a portion of the tax dollars as well. I read a very interesting article

Thank you, it was a nice couple of days of celebrating for us. I made ribeye steaks on the grill Christmas Eve and then two whole chickens for Christmas dinner. The weather was warm enough (30-40 degrees)

The cost of living is crazy in the Twin Cities too but nothing like the West coast. I always feel like everything is on sale when I travel back to Ohio—groceries are about 1/3rd less. Many counties around
