One, small, minor example of how the POOTWH Administration jettisoned the norms for their own self interest. To build a stupid wall. Can’t wait for his re-election.
How a Social Security program piled huge fines on the poor and disabled
The remarkable penalties led to tumult inside the office of Inspector General Gail Ennis, where a whistleblower was targeted for retaliation, an administrative judge found
Four years after her longtime partner died of kidney cancer, federal agents knocked on Gail Deckman’s door outside Chicago and told her she was in trouble: She had kept thousands of dollars in Social Security disability benefits that should have stopped when he died.
Deckman told the agents she thought the $1,400 check deposited each month into an account to which she had access was a payment for land her partner had sold in Michigan. She spent the money on rent and clothes and gifts for her grandchildren, she said.
The inspector general’s office, which investigates disability fraud and tries to recoup money for the government, ultimately charged her $119,392 — nearly three times what she received in error.
Deckman didn’t have the money. So the Social Security Administration garnished the entire $704 check she was going toreceive every month when she retired from her minimum-wage job flipping burgers at the convenience store in her local Rebel gas station. She can apply for retirement in 2032 — when she’s 83.
“I’m going to be dead by then,” Deckman said. “They’re taking away my Social Security. They’re charging me so much. Do they think I can afford a lawyer to fight this?” At 73, she continues to work, because she says she has to.
The inflated fees were set in motion during the Trump administration, when attorneys in charge of a little-known anti-fraud program run by the inspector general’s office levied unprecedented fines against Deckman and more than 100 other beneficiaries without due process, according to interviews, documents and sworn testimony before an administrative law judge. In doing so, they disregarded regulations and deviated from how the program had recovered money since its inception in 1995, failing to take into account someone’s financial state, their age, their intentions and level of remorse, among other factors.

Donald Trump To Speak at Texas NRA Meeting 3 Days After School Shooting
Donald Trump is still scheduled to speak at an NRA meeting in Houston, Texas, just days after a mass shooting in the state left 19 children and two adults dead.
The former president is set to join fellow Republicans, including Texas Governor Greg Abbott, Senator Ted Cruz, and Congressman Dan Crenshaw, at the annual NRA Institute for Legislative Action Leadership Forum over the weekend.
The pro-gun lobbyist group is still intending on holding on the meeting at the George R. Brown Convention Center from Friday to Sunday, despite the massacre at the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde.
"Make plans now to join fellow Second Amendment patriots for a freedom-filled weekend for the entire family as we celebrate Freedom, Firearms, and the Second Amendment!"

This is one dense MFer.On Tuesday’s edition of Fox Business Network’s Varney & Co, Varney conducted a phone interview during which the host — who has long been supportive of Trump — pushed back on Trump for “rehashing” the 2020 election, and suggested three separate times that he stop:VARNEY: Well, what I hear from a lot of Republicans is that they don’t want you to look back to the 2020 election as rehash it. They want to look forward to what we’re going to do with this economy and this society going forward. What do you say to that?TRUMP: Well, I do that. But if you don’t study what happened and if you don’t find out — we know what happened. All you have to do is see (ph) 2,000 mules or go on Truth. Take a look at Truth. You should someday talk about Truth as a business thing. It’s hot as a pistol, Truth Social.VARNEY: That’s not what people are talking about. People — people don’t want you to do that.TRUMP: No, I think — I think that you have to look back to find out — you have to look at history, Stuart. If you don’t look at history, you’re going to be lost. It’s going to happen again. You can’t let it happen again. You have to study.And I know you say that, but there’s a vast portion of the Republican Party the disagrees with that. They are very upset about it. They’re very angry with what happened in the election. You take a look at the results, I mean, every one of these states, every one of these swing states and beyond, but everyone in these swing states is proven, the evidence is so massive. The problem is the press, including Fox, doesn’t want to talk about it.VARNEY: I — OK. Mike Pence says —TRUMP: You don’t want it to happen again, Stuart, is what I’m saying. You can’t let it happen again. And they have to study it. They have to study it and they have to come out and do something.VARNEY: I’m getting the sense that the voters just don’t want to go back to a chaotic situation or a toxic situation or a really — you know, a negative situation. They want to be positive. They want to look forward to the future and be positive.TRUMP: Well, I understand that, Stuart. So, somebody robs the jewelry store of all the jewelry, you should just let them be alone, right? Just say, OK, he got away with it. You know, I just — I disagree with that. And a lot of people in the party disagree with that, Stuart.VARNEY: OK. All right.
