Rosary In a Year Complete: Welcome 2026

We are now ready to welcome the new year, after having completed the last episode of the Rosary In a Year.

The Holy Rosary is prayed as a meditative exercise to grow closer to Jesus Christ through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is often described by saints as a weapon for spiritual battle and a tool for inner transformation.

By meditating on the 20 Mysteries (key life events of Jesus), you "learn Christ" through the eyes of His mother. The rhythmic, repetitive nature of the prayers calms the mind, eases anxiety, and fosters a sense of stillness.

Tradition and various popes emphasize it as a "powerful armor against hell," helping to destroy vice and resist temptation.

It serves as a vehicle to present intentions for family, friends, or global needs (like peace) to God through Mary.

According to Catholic tradition, the Blessed Virgin Mary revealed 15 specific promises to St. Dominic and Blessed Alan de la Roche for those who faithfully pray the Rosary. These promises are considered private revelation, meaning Catholics may choose to believe them but are not required to do so, these include:
Special protection and the greatest graces. Signal graces (subtle hints of guidance).The flourish of virtue and good works. Relief from Purgatory for those devoted to it.Obtaining whatever is asked through the Rosary (if in accordance with God's will).

Practical Reasons for Modern Life: Accessibility. It can be prayed anywhere—while commuting, exercising, or doing chores—and does not requires one sitting. Bible Synthesis: The Rosary is often called a "compendium of the Gospel" because most of its prayers and all of its mysteries are rooted in Scripture.
Family Unity: Known by the slogan "The family that prays together stays together," it is used to foster solidarity and peace within the home

The Rosary in a Year is a comprehensive 365-day spiritual program and podcast hosted by Fr. Mark-Mary Ames, CFR, and produced by Ascension. Launched on January 1, 2025, the program is designed to help participants build a lasting habit of daily prayer and develop a deeper relationship with Jesus and Mary.

 We are thankful to Fr. Mark-Mary Ames and Ascension.  RIY was informative, edifying, palatable and spiritually fulfilling.

History of the Holy Rosary

The feast of the Most Holy Rosary was introduced by Pope St. Pius V (1504-1572) in the year 1571 to commemorate the miraculous victory of the Christian forces in the Battle of Lepanto on October 7, 1571. The pope attributed more to the "arms" of the Rosary than the power of cannons and the valor of the soldiers who fought there. In 1571 when the Catholic League entered into battle against the Ottoman Empire to protect Italy from invasion. The Turks were on a warpath to overthrow all of Europe, killing millions of people and forcing Islamic conversion on survivors. They had conquered the Middle East and Mediterranean islands of Cyrus and Crete; Italy was next.

Nick Shirley's exposé of fraud illustrates Marshall McLuhan’s "the medium is the massage." So is DOGE

The contrast between Nick Shirley’s grassroots investigation into Minnesota childcare fraud and the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) centralized operations offers a modern case study of Marshall McLuhan’s thesis in The Medium Is the Massage. 

While Shirley utilized the decentralized, "cool" medium of citizen journalism to spark immediate public action, DOGE’s "Big Balls" persona—led by a staffer linked to past cybercrime—represented a disruptive, often controversial attempt to audit the federal government’s 70+ statutory Inspector Generals (IGs).



In 1967, McLuhan published a book titled The Medium Is the Massage highlighting how media "massage" and shape the human sensorium. He also noted it could be read as "Mass Age" or "Mess Age








The point remains central to media studies, particularly in analyzing how digital platforms like TikTok or Instagram shape human attention and social interaction through their short-form, algorithmic nature, regardless of the specific videos being watched.

Nick Shirley’s exposé of $110 million fraud in Minnesota daycare centers serves as a modern illustration of Marshall McLuhan’s "the medium is the massage" by demonstrating how the medium reshapes public perception and legislative action more than the facts alone.


• Nick Shirley: The "Decentralized" Medium. Shirley’s 42-minute documentary, released in late December 2025, used social media to bypass traditional gatekeepers. By filming empty daycare centers receiving millions in subsidies, the medium of viral, "raw" footage created an immediate sense of urgency that spurred FBI Director Kash Patel and other officials to call for prosecutions

• Decentralized Power (The Medium as Agent of Change): McLuhan argued that the medium itself "massages" or shapes human association. Shirley’s work, which garnered over 90 million views in days on X and YouTube, bypassed traditional "gatekeepers" aka the Evidence Industrial Complex, to force mainstream media and federal agencies like the FBI to react to his narrative.

• The "Massaging" of Public Outrage: Shirley utilizes a "minimalist, outrage-inducing" video format. By physically visiting empty daycare centers on camera to show a lack of activity during business hours, the visual immediacy of the medium "massages" the audience into immediate belief and action, a contrast to the slower, text-heavy reports of legacy media that had covered similar fraud years earlier.

• A "Global Village" of Citizen Journalism: Shirley’s reporting aligns with McLuhan’s "global village," where electronic media enables individual citizens to perform functions once reserved for massive institutions. His 42-minute video effectively "shattered the media monopoly" by proving one person with a camera could outperform entire newsrooms in generating public and political pressure.

• The Medium Redefining "Truth": Because the medium of viral video prioritizes on-the-ground visual confrontation over deep historical context, the "truth" is experienced as a raw, unedited encounter. This immediacy makes the exposé feel more authentic to viewers than a curated news report, regardless of the nuances of the underlying legal cases.

 
Summary of the Fraud Allegations
• Scope: Shirley alleges that over $110 million in government-funded Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) money has been misappropriated by non-operational daycare centers.

• Methodology: The investigation involved "on-location" visits to multiple centers in the Twin Cities during business hours, finding them empty or locked despite receiving millions in taxpayer funds.

• Political Fallout: The viral nature of the reporting has led to increased scrutiny of Governor Tim Walz and other states with heavy Somali immigrants like Washington state.

Rep. Josh Williams is calling for the Ohio Department of Children and Youth to investigate all Columbus-area daycares suspected of potential fraud. "We need round-the-clock, unannounced inspections of childcare fscilities."

It has also  prompted responses from figures like JD Vance and the FBI.

Meanwhile,  The Nick Shirley's exposé of fraud illustrates Marshall McLuhan’s "the medium is the massage." Not Unlike DOGE

AND How the Global Circular Reporting Mafia Ring led by the Atheist, Antisemitic, AntiChristian, AntiTrump NYT and NOTUS Previously funded by Samantha Power's USAID and Soros

Has lost control of the narrative.


He who controls the chart of accounts controls the narrative. 

He who controls the narrative and the legacy media controls the people. 

He who controls the people can cancel the past.

Leading up to the 2024 election, the GCRMR controlled the chart of accounts via Auto-Pen and of course, controlled the narrative.

Then free speech broke out, courtesy of Elon Musk

The GCRMR having lost total control of the narrative, is now relegated to rehashing old news or manufacture them.

NYT's Gross Misapplication of the Theory of Allocation 

DOGE’s "Big Balls": The "Disruptive" Medium.

 The DOGE operative known as "Big Balls" (identified as a twenty-something with ties to Musk’s companies) represented a new, aggressive medium of government oversight. This approach relied on total system access and public "receipts" to bypass traditional auditing. Critics, however, argue this medium focused more on political ideology than sustainable efficiency, leading to significant revenue losses and service disruptions

Fraud Exposure: DOGE vs. Federal Oversight
The claim that DOGE's "Big Balls" exposed more fraud in a week than IGs and the GAO have in decades is a centerpiece of 2025 political debate mirroring Shirley’s reporting of exposing fraud in one day.  Both a centerpiece of 2025 political debate:

• G/GAO Performance: The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has historically estimated that the U.S. government loses between $233 billion and $521 billion annually to fraud.


Congressional and agency action is required to fix the problems identified by GAO and DOGE,
with many government agencies partially or entirely responsible to fix the problems. Yet, organizations like FinCEN continue to rely on new regulations like the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) to go after the little fish. Predictably by mid-2025, Senate reports countered DOGE's claims, asserting that the 19 IGs fired by the administration had identified billions more in potential savings than DOGE’s initiatives actually realized.

Congress may be DOGE's Fort Knox. Yet, if anyone can break though the vault is the Trump-Musk duo.
The dynamic duo is a huuuge target for the New York Times; "Elon Musk remains perhaps the most consequential figure in President-elect Donald Trump’s orbit, with a commission for cutting government spending headed by him and Vivek Ramaswamy — widely known by its acronym, DOGE — promising huge reductions."

• Minnesota Results: Shirley’s investigation uncovered over $110 million in suspicious subsidies in a single day, spotlighting a broader $9 billion fraud scandal in Minnesota that state and federal investigators say has been ongoing since 2018. 

Spot on.  The Justice ⚖️ Sytem is not about justice but about social control.  No consequences No behavior modification.
Obama,  the Biden and Clinton Crime Families, Garland, Milly, Clapper, Bolton,@mjfree, @EdKrassen, Gretchen Whitmer, the ones 👉 below, Democrats et are free running their mouths off. Is this justice?

But to your point: 
Nick Shirley's exposé of fraud illustrates Marshall McLuhan’s "the medium is the massage." So is DOGE

Comparative Impact in 2025

Feature	Nick Shirley's Investigation	DOGE / "Big Balls"
Medium	Viral citizen journalism; "on-the-ground" video.	Executive-level data access; disruptive auditing.
Scope	Minnesota childcare/healthcare assistance programs.	Entire federal government (HHS, SSA, Treasury, etc.).
Action	Triggered state probes and national political row.	Mass layoffs, lease terminations, and grant freezes.
Controversy	Allegations of right-wing bias vs. uncovering truth.	Alleged privacy breaches and $21.7B in wasted costs.

The DOGE initiative largely ceased its centralized operations by late 2025, but its "Big Balls" approach remains a polarizing example of trying to reform the "mass age" of bureaucracy through high-speed, disruptive media.

The Scorpion and the Frog: How Little Somalia in Minnesota is like Somalia. It's not xenophobia. It's not Islamophobia. It's Acculturation

The Scorpion and the Frog: How Little Somalia in Minnesota like Somalia? It's not xenophobia. It's not Islamophobia. It's Acculturation

Somalia ranks among the lowest in the world on the Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index, with a 2025 score of just 9 out of 100.

In response to Tucker Carlos rhetorical question: "Why would you decide to import primitive Somali tribes and encourage them not to assimilate? The only possible explanation is that you’re trying to destroy the country," Robert Carter says "Somalis Are Pride of the Muslim World."

The Scorpion and the Frog
is a classic tale about nature and character, which teaches that some individuals cannot resist their intrinsic harmful behaviors, even when acting against their own self-interest.

A scorpion, unable to swim, asks a frog to carry him across a river. The frog hesitates, fearing the scorpion will sting, but the scorpion argues that stinging would mean drowning for both of them. The frog agrees, but midstream, the scorpion stings the frog anyway. As the frog sinks, paralyzed, it asks why the scorpion would do this. The scorpion replies, "Because I'm a Scorpion. It's in my nature." 

The Fable about the Scorpion and the Frog illustrates the power of acculturation. You can't legislate human behavior. You can't expect a people raised in a Chalcolithic culture to change overnight, particularly when their leaders find assimilation to be insulting: The Somali Community in Minnesota is close-knit: 

 Jama Shine, Minnesota deputy sheriff, said Somali-American officers' primary allegiance was to the Somali community, both in the U.S. and in their homeland.

Rep. Deqa Dhalac wants the U.S. taxpayer to fund rebuilding Somalia

Ilhan Omar and Mana Abdi say assimilation for Somalis is a non-starter

Omar says E pluribus unum is a Nazi value. "We should be monitoring, profiling, and creating policies to fight the radicalization of white men." Ilhan Omar. Ilhan Omar blames the FBI for any Somali link to terrorism.  The reasoning is that after all, given the data the FBI should know Muslims can't assimilate or don't want to. As

Ilhan Omar and Mana Abdi migh say "How can you expect a person raised in a Chalcolithic culture to adapt to a 21st-century American culture?"

Margaret Thatcher had a different idea:

"Europe was created by history." America was created by God." Ergo, etymologically, Democrats, Muslims, Socialists, Communists' values are not compatible with Founding American Culture. You can work to make a more perfect union, not to fundamentally transform it, as Barrack Hussain Obama and Democrats often argue.

Somalia 

Unfortunately, Somalia is facing a severe multi-layered crisis including, escalating conflict with Al-Shabaab, and a catastrophic funding shortfall for humanitarian aid.

Corruption remains a critical challenge for Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and humanitarian aid in Somalia. The country consistently ranks among the lowest in the world on the Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index, with a 2025 score of just 9 out of 100.

Corruption is deeply embedded in the political and economic landscape, making it difficult for honest organizations to operate:

Common Corruption Schemes
NGO corruption in Somalia often manifests through "briefcase NGOs"—organizations that exist only on paper to siphon donor funds. Key tactics include:
• Diversion of Humanitarian Aid: Up to half of the food aid intended for starving populations has historically been diverted through a network of corrupt partners, contractors, and local armed groups.

• Falsified Evidence: Some local NGOs create fraudulent documentation, such as staged photographs or fake receipts, to claim projects have been completed when they were never executed.

• "Ghost" Employees: Recent investigations in 2025 revealed schemes where government and NGO employees were forced to share salaries with individuals not employed by the organization.

• Fraud Rings: In late 2024 and 2025, investigators uncovered sophisticated Somali-based fraud rings that diverted millions meant for children's feeding programs into luxury properties and personal accounts.

• Donor Dependency: Many NGOs prioritize generating earnings over mission-driven goals, leading to "money-minting" behaviors that erode local credibility.

• Interference by Authorities: Federal and regional authorities frequently attempt to control NGO staffing, procurement, and contracting, or demand "taxation" and registration fees that function as extortion.

• Security Risks: Al-Shabaab and other armed groups often block aid access or attack humanitarian workers unless they pay for "protection

• Failure of Internal Audits: International agencies, including the UN, have faced criticism for failing to detect widespread fraud within their implementation partners through their own monitoring mechanisms.

• Lack of Government Regulation: The absence of strong, independent regulatory authorities allows corrupt NGOs to operate without fear of legal repercussions.

• Whistleblower Suppression: Journalists and activists who expose corruption, such as those reporting on embezzlement schemes, often face arbitrary arrest or physical abuse.

Can you spot similarities between corruption schemes in Somalia and the corruption in Minnesota uncovered by Nick Shirley? In a 42 minute video, Shirley exposes over $110,000,000 fraud in Minnesota.

It's not racial profiling

It's not bigotry

It's not cruelty

Its not inhumanity

It's not xenophobia

It's not Islamophobia

It's Acculturation
Phobia is an intense, irrational, and persistent fear of a specific object, situation, or activity. 

A fact-based realist is a person that prioritizes objective evidence, data, and practical realities over idealistic, theoretical, or subjective perspectives. 

"Somalis Pride of the Muslim World" - Robert Carter: If True, Why?

In response to Tucker Carlos rhetorical question: "Why would you decide to import primitive Somali tribes and encourage them not to assimilate? The only possible explanation is that you’re trying to destroy the country," 

self-described Journalist @5Pillarsu, Muslim World news focus Robert Carter writes: 

"I've met many Somalis in my time and I can say with pride and confidence that they are a wonderful people and a pride to the Muslim world.vPolite, kind, hospitable and deep lovers of faith. This take by Tucker is disgraceful. A reminder that he is no genuine friend of truth or the Muslim world."

Carter might be onto something. Pride is  a deadly sin.  Muslims are raised in a Chalcolithic culture. But in Minnesota they live like Royalty.

Truth hurts, but data shows it's never maimed anyone.

It's not racial profiling

It's not bigotry

It's not cruelty

Its not inhumanity

It's not xenophobia

It's not Islamophobia

Phobia is an intense, irrational, and persistent fear of a specific object, situation, or activity.

Don't take it from me.  Listen to Ilhan Omar and friends:

The Somali Community is close-knit:   Jama Shine, Minnesota deputy sheriff,said Somali-American officers' primary allegiance was to the Somali community, both in the U.S. and in their homeland.

Rep. Deqa Dhalac wants the U.S. taxpayer to fund rebuilding Somalia

Ilhan Omar and Mana Abdi migh say "How can you expect a person raised in a Chalcolithic culture to adapt to a 21st-century American culture?"

As Margaret Thatcher might say, "Europe  was created by history." America was created by God."  Ergo, etymologically, Democrats, Muslims, Socialists, Communists' values  are not compatible with Founding American Culture. You can work to make a more perfect union, not to fundamentally transform it, as Barrack Hussain Obama and Democrats often argue.

It's Acculturation: can't legislate a 5 000 year-old culture: Feed crows and they will end up plucking your eyes out -Muslim proverb

In 2025, Somalia is facing a severe, multi-layered crisis defined by a national drought emergency, resurgent armed conflict, and a critical shortfall in international funding and funding from Somalis in Minnesota

2025 Humanitarian and Environmental Crisis:
Somalia is experiencing its fourth consecutive failed rainy season in some regions as of late 2025.
Drought Emergency: In November 2025, the Somali government declared a national drought emergency. The drought has dried up water sources, killed livestock, and forced over 40,000 people into new displacement in October 2025 alone.
Widespread Hunger: Somalia ranks as the hungriest country in the world on the 2025 Global Hunger Index. Approximately 4.4 million people are projected to face acute food insecurity by the end of 2025.
Impact on Children: An estimated 1.85 million children under age five are expected to suffer from acute malnutrition between mid-2025 and mid-2026, with over 420,000 cases being life-threateningly severe.

2. Security and Political Instability: Al-Shabaab Resurgence: The militant group Al-Shabaab has regained territory in central Somalia that it previously lost in 2022–2023, exploiting the government’s focus on internal political disputes aided by Somalis in Minnesota

Foreign Military Involvement: The African Union Transition Mission (ATMIS) is transitioning to a new mission, AUSSOM, in 2025. Meanwhile, the U.S. continues to conduct airstrikes against Al-Shabaab and ISIS-Somalia targets, with multiple strikes reported in late 2025.

Election Deadlock: Tensions are high ahead of the planned 2026 national elections. The federal government’s plan to move from an indirect to a direct universal suffrage model is facing heavy resistance from opposition leaders and key states like Puntland and Jubaland.

Renewed Piracy: Late 2025 saw a resurgence in piracy attempts off the Somali coast, including attacks on chemical tankers and fishing vessels, prompting intervention by EU naval forces.

3. Critical Funding Shortfall
Humanitarian aid is at a breaking point due to a sharp decline in international support.

Underfunded Response: By late November 2025, the UN's Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan was only approximately 23% funded.

Scaling Back Services: Funding cuts have forced the World Food Programme to reduce its monthly food aid from 1.1 million recipients in August 2025 to just 350,000 in November. Over 200 health facilities have been forced to close nationwide.

@RepJayapal,
@RepYassAnsari, @acnewsitics,@KellyMorrisonMN join @repdeliaramirez, Tim Waltz, Ilhan Omar, Keith Ellison, Rashida Tlaib, Pramila Jayapal, AOC, and MSM agree & with Omar and stand with Minnesota.

Begs the question: what did they know and when did they know it?

Democrats Navigating Dante's Inferno

Democrats Have Moved on From Fighting To Keep Their Slaves, 

To Infanticide/Black Genocide  to

Fighting for SNAP/Obamacare  for immigrants: Fatten them up then 'Fix' them with Obamacare, and they will vote Democrat for generations.  They are in Dante's Inferno 

Dante's Inferno is the first part of Dante Alighieri's 14th-century epic poem, The Divine Comedy. It is an allegory of the soul's journey toward God, in which the character Dante, representing all humankind, recognizes and rejects sin by journeying through the nine circles of Hell, guided by the ancient Roman poet Virgil. Democrats are not there yet.

The story begins with Dante lost in a dark wood on the morning of Good Friday, symbolic of being astray from the "right way" of salvation. He is met by the shade of Virgil, sent by Beatrice (symbol of Divine Love) from Heaven to guide him. Virgil leads Dante through the various realms of Hell, which is depicted as a funnel-shaped abyss of nine concentric circles located within the Earth, where sinners are punished in a manner that symbolically fits their crimes (a concept known as contrapasso).

 

The circles of Hell, in descending order of increasing sinfulness, are:Vestibule: For the "neutral" or the "opportunists" who would not commit to either good or evil. They are forced to eternally chase a meaningless banner while being stung by wasps and flies.

We’re each free to believe whatever we want to believe. Sacred Scriptures say life is short, death is real, Hell is hot, eternity is long, and Jesus saves!

Hindu sees the human person as a soul trapped in a body

The Buddhist sees the person as neither a body nor a soul

The atheist views the person as a body without a soul.


The Christian view is that humans are bodies and souls, created in the image and likeness of God. Every human being has a unique and rational soul that animates his human body, whether in the womb or a jail cell

Everyone is made in God's image

Everyone is broken

Everyone is created for love

Everyone has desires that are not good.  We are all broke

Those who identify as gay or trans, have dignity

Those who experience same-sex attraction are worthwhile

Those who are grappling with their Sexuality as part of the family, that is, part of the human family, and if they are Christian, they are part of the family of God

If you are same-sex attracted person, you belong to the Catholic Church.

Sacred Scripture makes it clear: Jesus warns that if someone harms or leads a child astray, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea.  Jesus' warning regarding "little ones" appears in the three Synoptic Gospels: Matthew 18:6, Mark 9:42, and Luke 17:2. 

Circle 1 (Limbo):

 The unbaptized and virtuous pagans (including Virgil, Homer, and Socrates) who, although not sinful, live without the hope of God's grace because they lived before Christ or did not accept Him.

Kids don't know when to change underwear, much less gender: it's the Kid's parents and corrupt politicians like Dick Durbin Our Founding Fathers are rolling in their collective graves hearing U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) a self-described Roman Catholic in the line of Joe Biden, and Nancy Pelosi - who has consistently positioned himself as an advocate for religious freedom and an opponent of antisemitism, but with deeds and action, enabled the Obama & Biden DOJ's War on Christianity and Israel Now Durbin defends the indefensible

Sixty Two years ago at  #TheGreatMarch on Washington, held in DC August 28, 1963,  Dr. #MartinLutherKingJr., standing in front of the Lincoln Memorial, delivered the first MAGA speech - his   historic "#IHaveADream" speech in which he called for an end to racism and racial segregation.   I Have a Dream, is quintessentially American: inspired by the Bible, the Declaration of Independence, the US Constitution, and Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation and the Gettysburg Address.

Five years later, progressives got MLK Jr out of their way, turning his dream into a nightmare: racism has morphed into DEI, the #AbortionIndustrialComplex  has enabled the Black Genocide, the disintegration of the African-American nuclear family and  a fatherlesssness crisis. 


MLK Jr. death cleared the way for the uber progressive Warren Court's Decision: the Court found that teaching children about wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety,  fear of the Lord., charity, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, generosity, gentleness, faithfulness, modesty, self-control and  chastity was too radical, all hell broke lose.

Circle 2 (Lust): 

Souls overcome by carnal desire are ceaselessly buffeted by a violent, dark storm, symbolizing their lack of control over their passions in life.

Circle 3 (Gluttony): 

The gluttonous wallow in vile, putrid slush under a continuous, icy rain, guarded by the three-headed dog Cerberus.

Circle 4 (Greed): Hoarders and spendthrifts joust by pushing great weights with their chests, their obsession with material goods rendering them unrecognizable.

The Clinton's at their best. Remember Haiti? Remember Uranium One? Remember Ukraine? Remember Minnesota? Obamacare, YADMLM - Yet another Democrats' Money Laundering Machine Ask yourself: Why are, @repdeliaramirez, @yassaminansari, @RubenGallego,@repdeliaramirez,  @NydiaVelazquez,  @JoaquinCastrotx
And fellow Democrats fighting so hard to extend Obamacare subsidies- is it to get a commission, to buy votes or all of the above? Meanwhile United Health Group, Anthem, CVS,CIGNA group are harvesting windfall profits.

Circle 5 (Wrath and Sullenness): 

The actively wrathful fight viciously on the surface of the river Styx, while the passively wrathful lie gurgling beneath the black, stinking water.

Circle 6 (Heresy): 

Heretics, who denied the soul's immortality, are trapped in flaming tombs within the walls of the city of Dis.

@AndyBeshearKY, Bernie, Newsom, Hochul Pocahontas and a number of Black so-called pastors, including Bryant. better described as race-hustlers have promoted the killing  of 80 million babies, mostly black and brown, enabled by the Global Circular Reporting Mafia Ring led by the Atheist,  Antisemitic,  AntiChristian NYT and previously funded by Samantha Power's USAID - DOGE found nearly 5,000 media outlets funded by USAID alone — including Politico, New York Times, and even the BBC. At least $500 million fueling a worldwide industry of propaganda and censorship.

Were these NOT children of God?

They enabled the complete destruction of the African-American nuclear family

80% of African-American children live in fatherless homes with obvious subsequent social ills


They managed to monetize hate and division so that 90% of African Americans vote for Democrats- the same progressive policies that's keeping them in the plantation.


Obama,  the Biden and Clinton Crime Families, Garland, Milly, Clapper, Bolton,@mjfree, @EdKrassen, Gretchen Whitmer, Democrats et are free running their mouths off - Is that authoritarianism?  Is that justice?

Circle 7 (Violence):

 Divided into three rings, this circle punishes:

Violence against others: Submerged in a river of boiling blood.

Violence against self: Transformed into trees and consumed by Harpies (the Wood of Suicides).

Violence against God/Nature/Art (Blasphemers, Sodomites, Usurers): Trapped in a burning plain under a rain of fire.

Circle 8 (Fraud): 

Known as Malebolge (evil pouches), it is a complex circle of ten ditches punishing various forms of ordinary fraud (e.g., seducers, flatterers, simonists, thieves, falsifiers).

Tim Waltz Indefensible 

Kids don't know when to change underwear, much less gender: it's the Kid's parents and corrupt politicians like Dick Durbin

Children do not know when to change underwear,  much less gender.

Six Traitors

@CongressmanRaja, @ChrisMurphyCT,@JessicaTarlov, Capt Mark Kelly, the Six Traitors, MSM & Democrats are not only undecided as to whether the US Constitution is valid or not. They hide behind Lady 🗽's skirt when it's convenient, and ditch her asap.  Their rhetoric is directly responsible for the National Guardsmen murder but for the 8000% increase in death threats against federal law enforcement.

The act of entering or attempting to enter the U.S. without inspection by an immigration officer (e.g., crossing a border between designated ports of entry) is a criminal offense under 8 U.S.C. § 1325.


First Hakeem Jeffries, @ChrisMurphyCT
& Democrats  call president Trump a Nazi,  a Dictator and a King.

Then they call SCOTUS corrupt, but 👏 the actions of Activist judges.  You know, the ones cheaper than a full tank of ⛽️ in the Muslim State of Washington.

During his first and second terms, Trump's administration faced a high number of lawsuits and, as a result, a high number of nationwide injunctions compared to other administrations. Sources indicate that as of mid-2025, over 40 nationwide injunctions had been filed against his executive actions, many from a small number of specific jurisdictions.

Now Dems are taking the high moral ground and questioning  SCOTUS' credibility

As Aristotle might say: Only those who have been well brought up can usefully study Morality: to Hakeem Jeffries, to the corrupted man, the man who stands outside the Tao, the very starting point of this science is invisible. He may be hostile, but he cannot be critical: he does not know what is being discussed.


Democrats are not only outside the Tao, they keep fighting the Tao.

Or as Margaret Thatcher might say, "Europe  was created by history." America was created by God."  Democrats, Muslims,  Communists,  Authoritative regimes' values  are not compatible with American core culture. You can work to make a more perfect union, not to fundamentally transform it, as Obama so often argues.

SCOTUS has been   emphatic. By a wide margin, SCOTUS has repudiated the values the Democratic Party phas embraced.


The country was nearly destroyed by mass migration. Globalists, like the 6,000 plus 'journalists ' members of the Global Circular Reporting Mafia Ring led by the Atheist, Antisemitic, AntiChristian, AntiTrump NYT and NOTUS, seek "peace and prosperity" via "democracy," but in reality, the only way they can achieve this is to subdue the entire Western world into silence and compliance. Tyranny is ingrained into the DNA of globalists. These people have not gone anywhere. These people, like Sociopath Newsom, Schumer & Jaypal
are doubling down if anything. All that comes back in an instant the moment they get back in power.

Ilhan Omar says American Exceptionalism is a Nazi Value - Somali immigrants should not be expected, much less required to assimilate, rejecting the notion of the US motto, E pluribus unum.

@acnewsitics,,@KellyMorrisonMN joins @repdeliaramirez, Tim Waltz, Ilhan Omar, Keith Ellison, Rashida Tlaib, Pramila Jayapal, AOC, et al and MSM agree & with Omar and stand with Minnesota

E pluribus unum is a Latin phrase meaning "out of many, one". It is a traditional and de facto motto of the United States, signifying the formation of one cohesive nation from its original 13 separate colonies.  Such idea has made America what it is today 

It has four rounds: Caina (kin), Antenora (country/party), Ptolomea (guests), and Judecca (benefactors/masters).

 
At the center of the ninth circle, Dante encounters Lucifer (Satan), a three-faced giant frozen waist-deep in the ice, eternally chewing on the three greatest traitors: Judas Iscariot, Brutus, and Cassius. 

Dante, Virgil and Democrats  climb down Lucifer's massive form, pass the center of the Earth, and begin the ascent toward the surface on the other side of the world. Dante and Virgil

emerge from Hell at the base of Mount Purgatory just before dawn on Easter Sunday, ready to continue their journey to salvation. Will the Democrats join Dante  & Virgil?

ACA harming consumers, while enriching insurers with windfall profits. Democrats want money laundering to continue.

The Affordable Care Act (ACA), often called Obamacare, continues to face significant scrutiny over systemic vulnerabilities to fraud, waste, and abuse

Democrats Desperately Trying To Keep Obamacare Money Laundering Machine Chugging Along 

Obamacare Subsidies, follow the money: United Health Group. Anthem. CVS,CIGNA group

Recent reports and investigations, particularly from the nonpartisan Government Accountability Office (GAO), highlight ongoing issues exacerbated by enhanced subsidies introduced during the COVID-19 era. These subsidies, set to expire at the end of 2025, have been linked to billions in improper payments, unauthorized enrollments, and exploitation by brokers and insurers. 

Below is a summary of key updates from 2025, drawing from federal audits, congressional oversight, and enforcement actions.

Key Findings from the December 2025 GAO ReportThe GAO released preliminary results from an ongoing review of fraud risks in the ACA's advance premium tax credit (APTC) program on December 3, 2025. This subsidy helps eligible Americans afford marketplace plans by directing payments to insurers.

• Covert Testing Reveals Persistent Vulnerabilities: GAO investigators created 20 fictitious identities with invalid or fabricated Social Security numbers (SSNs) and submitted applications for 2024 and 2025 coverage. Nearly all (100% in late 2024 tests) were approved without documentation requests, mirroring failures seen in 2014–2016. As of September 2025, 18 of 20 fake applicants remained enrolled, receiving over $10,000 monthly in APTC subsidies—totaling more than $12,300 per month across the group in some scenarios.

No Updated Anti-Fraud Strategy: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has not revised its ACA fraud risk assessment since 2018, despite repeated GAO warnings. This includes inadequate checks for SSN misuse, deceased individuals, or double enrollment (e.g., in both ACA plans and Medicaid).

• Scale of Improper Payments: Estimates suggest up to $27 billion annually in waste, fraud, and abuse, including:
  • 6.4 million improper enrollees in 2025 (up from 5 million in 2024).
  • $14 billion wasted on dual Medicaid-ACA enrollments.
  • Over 58,000 deceased individuals' SSNs used for $94 million in credits in 2023–2024 alone.

These issues have led to consumer harm, such as denied claims and delayed care, while enriching insurers with windfall profits
The Department of Justice (DOJ) and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) have ramped up prosecutions, but complaints remain high:

Category	Estimated 2025 Impact	Examples
Improper Enrollments	6.4 million people	Fake SSNs, income misreporting (2.3 million confirmed by CBO)
Financial Loss	$27 billion annually	$133.9M Florida scheme; $94M via deceased SSNs
Consumer Complaints	275,000+ in 2024	Unauthorized switches; denied care due to verification issues
Broker Suspensions	850 by Oct 2024	Data-harvesting from scam ads

Political and Policy Context

Fraud has driven premium hikes (despite subsidies) and reduced choices, with insurers pocketing billions. GAO recommends CMS implement real-time SSN validation, broker authentication (e.g., three-way calls), and annual fraud audits. Without action, risks could worsen post-2025 if subsidies extend unchecked. For state-run marketplaces (e.g., California, New York), stricter authentication has limited issues, suggesting a model for federal fixes.

Enforcement Actions and Broker SchemesThe Department of Justice (DOJ) and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) have ramped up prosecutions, but complaints remain high:

• April 2025 Guilty Plea: Dafud Iza, executive vice president of a Florida insurance brokerage, pleaded guilty to a $133.9 million scheme. He and accomplices submitted fraudulent applications for ineligible individuals, inflating incomes to capture full subsidies. The goal: Millions in commissions from insurers. This targeted vulnerable groups like the homeless and mentally ill.
• Unauthorized Enrollments Surge: CMS received 275,000+ complaints in 2024 about unauthorized plan switches or enrollments, with 40,000 in the first quarter alone. Brokers harvested personal data from misleading ads (e.g., "$6,400 grocery subsidies") to auto-enroll consumers without consent, siphoning subsidies. By October 2024, CMS suspended 850 brokers.
• Zero-Claim Enrollees: About 35% of 2024 ACA enrollees (nearly 12 million) filed no claims, suggesting "ghost" policies used solely for subsidies. This points to fraud rings exploiting relaxed verification rules

Category	Estimated 2025 Impact	Examples
Improper Enrollments	6.4 million people	Fake SSNs, income misreporting (2.3 million confirmed by CBO)
Financial Loss	$27 billion annually	$133.9M Florida scheme; $94M via deceased SSNs
Consumer Complaints	275,000+ in 2024	Unauthorized switches; denied care due to verification issues
Broker Suspensions	850 by Oct 2024	Data-harvesting from scam ads

• Subsidy Expiration Debate: Enhanced APTC credits (100% subsidy for many) end December 31, 2025, potentially raising premiums for 22 million enrollees. Democrats push for a $350 billion, three-year extension without major reforms, while Republicans demand integrity fixes like pre-enrollment verification and ending "anytime" sign-ups. A bipartisan proposal from Reps. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) and Jen Kiggans (R-VA) suggests a one-year extension with anti-fraud controls.

• Legislative Reforms: The July 2025 "One Big Beautiful Bill" (OBBB) introduced partial fixes, such as full subsidy repayment for income underestimations and curbing special enrollment abuse. However, GAO notes these haven't stemmed the tide. Nine states saw ACA sign-ups exceed eligible populations, per CMS data.
• Public and Expert Sentiment: On X (formerly Twitter), discussions echo GAO findings, with users decrying "theft" via subsidies to insurers and calls to replace the ACA entirely. Critics argue it enriches "billionaire executives" at taxpayers' expense, while supporters frame opposition as anti-affordability.

Fraud has driven premium hikes (despite subsidies) and reduced choices, with insurers pocketing billions.

Without action, risks could worsen post-2025 if subsidies extend unchecked

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has been credited with expanding coverage to millions, but critics argue its structure—particularly enhanced premium tax credits and subsidies—has driven up overall healthcare costs while delivering outsized gains to insurers through higher premiums and risk adjustments, even as some report margin pressures in government programs. Based on 2024-2025 financial data and analyses tying profits to ACA marketplaces, the insurers benefiting most from these dynamics are those with the largest ACA enrollments and Marketplace revenues. UnitedHealth Group leads by a wide margin, followed by Centene and Elevance Health, which have seen substantial growth in ACA-related premiums and margins.Here's a summary of the top performers' net profits (or projected for 2025 where noted), with ACA ties highlighted:

Insurer	2024 Net Profit	2025 Projection/Notes	ACA Windfall Connection
UnitedHealth Group	$14.4 billion	$23 billion (adjusted down from $26B initial guidance)	Largest ACA player; 231% profit growth since 2011 ACA implementation, fueled by Marketplace expansion and subsidies covering ~80% of premiums for many enrollees. Revenues projected at $450-455B in 2025.
Elevance Health (Anthem)	$6 billion	$6-7 billion (Q1 margin up to 4.5%)	Heavy ACA exposure; 11% YoY Marketplace membership growth in Q1 2025, with subsidies driving premium revenue despite elevated costs.
Centene	Not specified (revenues $163B)	Premium revenues $164-166B	Marketplace-focused; 12% membership growth and "improved margins" from ACA risk adjustments in 2024, directly linked to subsidies as a "windfall."
CVS Health (Aetna)	$4.6 billion	Strong Q2 EPS $1.81	ACA utilization up, but exited unprofitable markets for margin gains; subsidies enable 83% MLR while boosting overall profits.
Cigna Group	$5.7 billion (full year est.)	Q3 $1.9B (up from $739M YoY)	159% profit jump since 2015; lower ACA MLR (83%) via market exits, with subsidies offsetting utilization spikes.

These gains stem partly from ACA subsidies (enhanced since 2021 via the Inflation Reduction Act), which total ~$98B in federal spending for 2024 and are set to expire end-2025 unless extended—potentially doubling consumer premiums while preserving insurer margins. However, not all ACA lines are profitable: Q3 2025 operating margins averaged -1.4% across major payers in ACA/Medicare/Medicaid, with Centene down 15.6% YoY due to utilization. Insurers like these have lobbied heavily to retain subsidies, spending millions on campaigns

Campaign finance data from the 2024 election cycle (covering contributions from January 2023 to December 2024) shows these insurers' PACs and employees directing funds primarily to incumbents on key committees like House Ways & Means, Energy & Commerce, and Senate Finance, which oversee healthcare policy.
