Most people on welfare vote Democrat. As citizens fall thru the cracks of society. Those individuals may, or may not vote Democrat. But an illegal alien getting free handouts. Will most likely vote Democrat. This free handouts to illegal aliens is a way for the Democrats to buy votes. Especially when these illegal aliens are given driver licenses, and blue states don’t validate citizenship at the voting booths. This is an attack on our Democracy done by the Democrats.
Just when you think it can’t get any worse, it does. Some monster today, shot up a Catholic Church filled with praying children. I have no idea of the motivation of this individual responsible, but as I said, a truly evil, wicked, demonic death cult is among us. The rhetoric and hatred against Christianity must stop now. God help us all.
Umm, I think it’s something much more sinister. It appears the perp had HIS name legally changed from “Robert” to “Robin” and had hate Trump leanings. This could be a reminder/repeat of what happened in Nashville at a Christian school.
Don't look for the mainstream media to report facts that may relate to early indications about his cultural and political proclivities...unless of course something related to conservatism...real or imagined....
"In summing up, when ineligible people of all kinds take Medicaid benefits fraudulently, they not only suck up taxpayer resources, but they also reroute precious, finite resources from legitimate Medicaid recipients who already must compete for a limited pool of providers..."
Rome was hardly 25 by 25 miles. Every possession of Rome were conquered lands. Rome using serious income from these lands started offering circus, food, and more. ROME EVENTUALLY WENT BROKE with this Socialist State. Think about it..... From Constantinople to the British Isles, from Germany to all of Northern Africa. The bringing of Pax Romana. In spite of all this it could not afford what became the Socialist Dictatorship of ...Caesar.
As stated a limited pool of providers and taxes.
California is the classic example of what the nation will become if this continues.
Open borders, illegals voting, corrupted voter rolls, and the list goes on.
This is a party and State that has become mentally unstable based upon greed of the taxpayers wallet.
CA will spend approximately $9 BILLION of taxpayers's money for medical care alone for illegal aliens...including funding their anchor babies. What possible rationale is there for that? It is not compassion...clearly not to the poorest legal residents.
Worse, the most helpless among us, those in the Special Needs community, are grossly under funded year after year, in no part because they do not have the "in your face" advocacy, i.e., Carbajal, SB City Council etc...that are enjoyed by the illegal community.
The fact that they’re suing to try and stop the information from becoming available to the public says everything you need to know about the Democratic party. These slimy slugs cannot endure the light of day. Everyone, Please continue to shine the light and expose these treasonous despicable bastards. Make sure your liberal friends understand the points being made in this piece. Change hearts and minds by using truth and common sense as tools
More irrefutable evidence in the ongoing attempts of bankrupting the US Treasury, perpetrated by the Democratic Party. The importing of low skilled, uneducated, impoverished, non-white illegal immigrants is all part of the master plan. In conjunction with their allies in the Unions, it’s all designed to undermine our middle class.
It’s been even worse lately, due to the desperation of the woke, liberal left as their poll numbers continue to circle the bowl. So what do they do in response? Frivolous lawsuits, sit ins, demonstrations, threats of violence, civil unrest and accusations of racism for starters.
“Blue cities” are such notorious hellholes that the National Guard is required in order to maintain law and order.
One would think the most to lose are senior citizens on fixed incomes, receiving Medicare and Social Security benefits. It is truly maddening how many of this group are the same people so adamant about giving away their tax dollars to illegals.
It has never been so obvious that the Democratic Party is falling apart before our eyes, and undergoing a metamorphosis into a truly evil, wicked and demonic death cult.
I get the impression many of those protesting "seniors" are on government pensions; not just social security. They are protecting their own government pensions, which well-exceed any SS payout
David, so what is it I hear about the undocumented community actually paying more into Medicaid than they receive? Not a loaded question - something I've heard that I haven't looked into.
I don't believe he said he did not believe in climate change... did I miss that?? I don't know of anyone who doesn't believe in climate change... climate has always changed for millions of years… The only thing that doesn't change is the fact that the climate is always changing
To quote one of the greatest Americans of our time..."Thank you for your attention to this matter"...
To believe model predictions of an insoluble chaotic system is naive. Predictions which cannot be tested about climate in the distant future. Predictions so far in the future that those making the predictions will all be dead.
Your understanding of modeling is naive. The weather is indeed chaotic. But climate is governed primarily by the energy balance of the planet (and yes a little chaos) and can be modeled reasonably well.
Climate models (and groundwater models, atom bomb models, etc. etc.) are tested via hindcasting - where they run models with historical data to see how well they reproduce observed records. Crappy ones are discarded.
You won't agree or like this paper, but it shows that climate models have been pretty decent at predicting temperature trends. It's dated but a good overview.
Why? What kind of America last comment is that? How about because it's Satanic to hand over our money for genocide and the fact that it is OUR money, to be spent on OUR citizens.
They’re using Fort Bliss, a former internment camp for Japanese Americans, to “crack down” on illegal immigration. We’ve entered into a full spectrum police state, certain demographics have to be the beta tests again.
What demographics? You mean the demographics that relate to each and every illegal immigrant...from alll 160 nations...or?? What is your suggestion on how to process illegal aliens while sending them HOME? Fort Bliss has been home to thousands of American soldiers..defending our country and its' borders. It is not a dungeon, it is most a transfer station. What is your point? Be specific please...how else does the US return these criminals HOME???
They are being deported... being temporarily detained is part of the deportation process... They're not being held there in perpetuity... they're being sent HOME...going through facilities like Fort Bliss... Unless of course there are warrants for their arrest for crimes committed in this country, besides illegally entry.
I don't think you're familiar with the process and if your source of information is from the mainstream media, you are more than likely being grossly misled.
Why are some being held for over a year? What kind of medical care are they receiving? Are they getting Trump’s Operation Warp Speed shots offered? I’ve yet to see big businesses that have employed them have CEOs held accountable. Aren’t they the ones ultimately it trickles down to?
I'll give you a hint though. Trump has only been in office seven months…I can't account for the five months proceeding your inquiry about the welfare of illegal aliens being held for over a year. Must be some really, really bad hombres, however... because Biden and his traitorous cohorts such as Mayorkas had zero interest in enforcing immigration law.
Yes, CEOs should be held fully accountable, just as Newsom, Salud Carbajal and the majorities of the City Councils of Carpinteria and Santa Barbara. They are all complicit with aiding and abetting.
How's that possible? The average visit to Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital E.R. costs above $2,000 just to cover the overhead. All procedures cost extra. Unless an illegal has been here over two decades, has a good job and rarely goes to the doctor or hospital, it's impossible to have paid more into the system than he has received back. Besides, Democrats and others whose goal it is to override traditional America and subsume it to a more compliant populace dependent on a Democrat-run socialist regimen, the factor of input/outgo, revenue/cost ratio isn't even considered. They don't care. That's not the purpose behind their perfidy. Revolution and transformation is!
In California, that is likely true. CA is one of a handful of States that extends this service to the illegal/undocumented. I'll take a pass on the subsume and revolution part.
Democrats are not the only ones who support "Giving America’s (and Americans’) Bounty Away for Free." The uniparty gives Israel over 4 billion of our money per year, much of it used for genocide. How do people on this page feel about that?
20% of all Americans are on Medicaid. In California it is 40%. The author didn't mention that one of the things that Obamacare did was push millions of Americans into Medicaid. Medicaid has become the biggest health insurer of Americans, something that was never envisioned when the system was implemented in 1965.
David, great writ up, thanks! Interesting fact as you pointed out 20% of those processed through Ellis island went home. If the Medicare program bans aid to those who are non citizens then why does the federal government not prosecute? Getting all these state offenders into a courtroom setting would be incredible. Cheers
Naturally under Biden, there was no intention to prosecute illegals receiving Medicaid largess. Democrats were deliberately side-stepping the law and shoveling bribe-money into the pockets of illegals. If anybody should be prosecuted and dragged through the court system, it should be the criminals who gave them the money in total opposition to our laws on the books. The most that should be done with the illegals receiving illicit money is to require them to pay the money back. Should they wish, on the other hand, to self-deport, the debt return would be lifted from their "jacket" as soon as proof is provided they have landed on foreign soil.
Agree w/ the payback...less any benefits they received while here such as schools, subsidized housing, processing, transportation back HOME, etc. Basic double entry accounting. Fair is fair.
Most people on welfare vote Democrat. As citizens fall thru the cracks of society. Those individuals may, or may not vote Democrat. But an illegal alien getting free handouts. Will most likely vote Democrat. This free handouts to illegal aliens is a way for the Democrats to buy votes. Especially when these illegal aliens are given driver licenses, and blue states don’t validate citizenship at the voting booths. This is an attack on our Democracy done by the Democrats.
Democrats = expanding government dependencies.
Like night follows day.
Great points!!! Not overblown, no hyperbole. Is very disturbing! Pray we can change this

He might've been ON his "safe and effective" covid meds.
Umm, I think it’s something much more sinister. It appears the perp had HIS name legally changed from “Robert” to “Robin” and had hate Trump leanings. This could be a reminder/repeat of what happened in Nashville at a Christian school.
Hope we get some detailed information this time.
Don't look for the mainstream media to report facts that may relate to early indications about his cultural and political proclivities...unless of course something related to conservatism...real or imagined....
We’re learning more about they/them.

Great read.
Dem “leaders “ working hand in glove with NGOs to overrun our country seems downright treasonous IMO.
This ending quote states it all.

Well, this shouldn’t be a problem much longer since taco, and his flunkies are booting them all out of the country.

Really right on, LT

Check out the pension payouts on Transparent California too - CalSTRS, CalPERS, and other special district pension plans. https://transparentcalifornia.com/pensions/all/#google_vignette
You want frivolous lawsuits, just look at taco and his administration of flunkies.
Thanks for the meaningful input Julia. FYI…this is a little different forum than Next Door.
All the while they falsely claim that the Federal government is gutting Medicaid?
The media propaganda promotes this lie
Great points made David!!!
Thanks!!!
Great points!!! Not overblown, no hyperbole. Is very disturbing! Pray we can change this
David, so what is it I hear about the undocumented community actually paying more into Medicaid than they receive? Not a loaded question - something I've heard that I haven't looked into.
I have heard that driving an electric car will help prevent climate change. That's bullshit too.
You don't believe in climate change so who cares? But you drive Fords so all your thoughts are suspect.
I don't believe he said he did not believe in climate change... did I miss that?? I don't know of anyone who doesn't believe in climate change... climate has always changed for millions of years… The only thing that doesn't change is the fact that the climate is always changing

But yes, most of us on this substack will be dead before SB's climate is like Tijuana.
Two words: Al Gore.
I'm glad you've got two words on the topic. Al Gore is a politician for sure. He should aspire to be a grass expert like our current leader. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/lAWX6AxZEKg?feature=share
News flash TJ, we just had to borrow $3.4 billion dollars to cover costs of illegals.
https://calmatters.org/health/2025/03/medi-cal-budget-shortfall/
And that’s just in California alone!
We taxpayers are sending over $10 million to Israel EACH DAY.
How much did Biden and crew send to Ukraine????
So?
So maybe we shouldn’t be doing that.
why?
Why? What kind of America last comment is that? How about because it's Satanic to hand over our money for genocide and the fact that it is OUR money, to be spent on OUR citizens.
Because that money is ours, not theirs.
And if you read to the bottom of that article the total cost is even more - 8.5 billion.
TJ, love that you are asking...
Here is a link that explains it a little. There are more.
https://accountinginsights.org/do-taxpayers-pay-for-medicaid-how-the-program-is-funded/
Thank you!
Can you please supply that data and the source? At this time there are four "Likes" to your post... perhaps one of those four could respond also.
They’re using Fort Bliss, a former internment camp for Japanese Americans, to “crack down” on illegal immigration. We’ve entered into a full spectrum police state, certain demographics have to be the beta tests again.

Deport them, don’t imprison them.

some have been held in camps for over a year?
How long has Trump been president? 7 months?
you liberals are so full of hate you can’t even think straight!
pathetic!
cheers
You'll have to do your own research in regard.
I'll give you a hint though. Trump has only been in office seven months…I can't account for the five months proceeding your inquiry about the welfare of illegal aliens being held for over a year. Must be some really, really bad hombres, however... because Biden and his traitorous cohorts such as Mayorkas had zero interest in enforcing immigration law.
