Uncle Sugar Daddy Cutting California's Trust Fund
Timothy Birdnow
Great!
CSPAN@cspanVP Vance announces deferment of $1.3B in Medicaid reimbursement to California in fraud crackdown: "California has not taken fraud very seriously…There are California taxpayers and American taxpayers who are being defrauded because California isn't taking its program seriously."
California keeps taxing all Americans with their insane expenditures and their corruption and expecting the Feds to compensate them when their schemes fail. California is not the navel of America (more like that dimple on the OTHER side of the body) and it does not have a right to take money from the rest of us to support its monetary drug habit.
I strongly suspect this massive fraud isn't just about enriching corrupt people but is being laundered back to the Democrats. It's the way political machines work; they find ways to force taxpayers to fund the machine. I think California, Illinois, Minnesota, New York, and a host of other Blue states have been doing this for years, funneling taxpayer dollars to sketchy organizations who turn around and launder this money back to the Democrats.
After the election of 2000 Rush Limbaugh observed the Democrats had absolute resolve never to lose a close election like that again and set about building a national machine, similar to the Daley machine in Chicago but one that spanned the whole country. Glenn Beck echoed that as well. Nobody listened at the time and the GOP let them build the machine and turn it on and the Democrats have held far more political power than they would have otherwise; the reality is they are a minority party. But they keep winning and a big part of the reason is they are extremely well funded and a big chunk of that is taxpayer money funneled through shady programs and given back to them. (Other mechanisms include gerrymandering and lawfare and huge vote fraud machines.)
The scam can only work with compliant judges and the media running cover for them. That is why they turned on Donald Trump, a man who they used to adore, when he started talking about the corruption in D.C. and how he wanted to fix the problems; they realized that he was serious and could destroy the Machine. He has yet to destroy it but he's done some serious damage to it and that more than anything is why they so hate him. This machine was supposed to lead them to eternal power and the dreamed of Great Reset. Now that dream is in tatters by and large and they will have to rebuild from the foundation.
That is why their hatred is so visceral and so blind; it's not the hatred for someone you just don't like but for someone who has wrecked your fondest dream. To them Trump is the Russian police in Fiddler on the Roof who trashes the wedding of Tevye's daughter.
Richard Nixon had believed there was a "great silent majority" out there who would save him from the attack dogs of the media and from the Democrats (who hated Nixon because of Alger Hiss, even though Hiss was indeed a Communist and they probably knew it). The GSM never materialized for Nixon, largely because Tricky Dick was wholly unlikable and was paranoid enough not to get out in front of it while Trump talks to the media daily, even while insulting them to their stupid faces. Trump had the good fortune of a Great Silent Majority finally awakening and becoming active. Talk radio, Fox News and other cable news, podcasting and blogs gave the GSM a platform and now the public knows what the Deep State is about. Trump rode a wave that didn't exist for Nixon (who was not a very conservative guy, I might add, but was a fighter like Trump). The Left and Media (the same thing) went back to the same playbook, using the plays they ran on Nixon. These didn't work with Trump, nd MAGA did not splinter like the old Tea Party or other Conservative revivals. MAGA folks realize the nation is in peril of complete collapse, or at least of being turned into something alien and evil.
Nixon came in the seventies when the hippies were still ascendant and the public was weary of the fight.
Anyway, to get back on topic, the Democrats have looted the treasury for decades now and this current Administration is wise to them. If we are to break the stranglehold of the Ruling Class it has to start at the state level.

Nixon was not a great politician, but he was a smart man who knew where too many of the bodies were buried, which is why he had to be destroyed. Hence Watergate. At least he wasn't assassinated.
I suspect he never really knew what happened to him. His one great fault was that he was totally loyal to his friends, and he expected total loyalty from those who worked for him.
As a graduate musician in college, I marched down Pennsylvania Avenue in Nixon's first Inaugural Parade -- and he's been MY president ever since. The band spent the week in DC and we had some experiences, that I won't tell you about now.

You nailed it Dana. Nixon went down because he was loyal to his underlings who were working to protect him. As you say, he's lucky he was not assassinated.
I remember watching Nixon's resignation speech on television.
It is a shame because he had so much promise but they took him out anyway and he walked into their trap.
