Sen. Joni Ernst reveals bureaucrats approved pandemic loans for applicants who used DOLL PHOTOS as their ID.

The scammers put in zero effort. The government matched it and gave them the money.

It gets dumber.

Applicants claiming to be OVER 115 YEARS OLD were approved for 3,095 pandemic loans worth $333,000,000.

Claim you’re 157? Here’s $36,000.

A Pandemic Response Accountability Committee report found $79,000,000,000 in potential COVID fraud.

Four basic questions could’ve stopped it:

1. Is the Social Security number valid?
2. Does the name match?
3. Does the birthday match?
4. Is the person alive?

Too much to ask, apparently.

ERNST: “Seriously, folks, that could have saved 79 BILLION DOLLARS right there.”

And that was just COVID.

In fiscal year 2024 alone, federal agencies shoveled out $162,000,000,000 in improper payments.

The government pisses away billions every year and never stops asking YOU for more.

Fall behind on your taxes and Oregon comes after you, but one politically connected pot company owes $8 million and keeps on selling. Why do the rules only seem to apply to you?https://t.co/R33ktz0GU2

Wait a minute! I thought we were the “gold standard”?!

Tobias Read keeps calling Oregon’s vote-by-mail the “gold standard.”

“Secure, accurate, fair.”

He and the rest of the Dems will fight any change to it-literally foaming at the mouth.

Then his own office tested the mail. Some pieces took four days just to get a postmark. Definitely “gold standard” material Tobes.

One took 11 days to deliver. Fools gold maybe…

Big surprise here but “Rural counties got hit the hardest.”

May primary? Over 7,300 ballots tossed for late postmarks. Up 35% from the last midterm. 7,300!!!

Now he’s telling people to use drop boxes if they want their vote counted.

So the “perfect system” only works if you skip the mail and drive to a box? Even with all that bluster against the USPS?!

Rural Oregon gets screwed either way.

This gold standard is looking more like a convenient excuse every cycle and this time we call them on it.

I call this fools gold.

How is there a fantastically obese female candidate whose last name is literally "Stout"? Everything is too on the nose at this point. I don’t know what to say anymore.
