Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett says she doesn't have to explain why her family has been cashing their dead grandmother's Social Security checks since 2004.

"Our family business is our family business."


They got away with cashing dead grandma’s Social Security checks for more than two decades and SSA did not spot it? Amazing.

Meanwhile I can imagine that there are a lot of people in prison wondering why they didn’t think of that defense: “Our family business is our family business." That’s a sure-fire get out of jail card if ever there was.

My father died a couple of hours before the end of June in 2011. The government tried to reclaim his SS payment for that month.

Wrong blog, Keith.

Original Mike ayon kay ...

"You know you’re getting old when the new Pope is younger than you."

He's the same age as me, and they were referring to him as "relatively young".

I still got it!

So wait a minute, we lost two F-18s in "boating accidents" in one month?

Man, the ATF must really be cracking down on unlicensed M-61 autocannons.

Pope same age as Reagan when inaugurated first time.

Two dead and one injured baby bird on my front step in the last two days. The injured one was accompanied by a neighborhood cat, who's pretty old and was considered harmless. I'm guessing that she's just scooping up baby birds that have fallen from nests, but have no idea why she's suddenly using my steps as an abattoir.

No, Rep. Jasmine Crockett didn't collect dead grandmother's Social Security checks

So Trump dropped his nomination of Nazi Ed Martin as nominee for DC Judge after Republican Senator Thom Tillis said no way, Jose.

So Trump appointed Fox News' anchor Jeanine Pirro as temporary judge but Pirro is named as a co-defendant in Smartmatic's defamation lawsuit against Fox to be tried over the next three months.

You know who accuses everybody around them of being "nazis" without evidence? Crypto-nazis, that's who.

Gadfly uses Snopes still? I bet he still believes the Charlotteville Hoax and that Hunter Biden's laptop is Russian Disinformation.

planetgeo ayon kay ...

Kaka and Gadfly, looks like you're running thin on material to bitch about. UK trade deal done. Stocks rebounding nicely. Ukraine minerals deal done. Border shut tight.

So wadda ya got left? Jasmine Crockett and Judge Jeannine. We feel your pain, dudes.

Anyone else notice LLR-democratical Rich's anger growing as the US Military continues to realize record numbers of new recruits and hitting their annual retention targets in record time?

That's what naturally occurs when the force sees actual warfighters in leadership and not Jazzy Spirit Fingers Stolen Valor cowards like Walz around whom LLR-democratical Rich called a "war hero" as well as the "perfect" VP candidate selection and a "man's man"!

Steve ayon kay ...

This link relies on Snopes but it does a good job explaining how the reports about Crockett and Social Security developed.

Steve--The Crockett thing is probably a hoax, but citing Snopes doesn't exactly disprove anything. Especially when the article in the Atlanta Black Star also relays with approval Crockett's casual slander of Trump:
On Tuesday, as the smear against her was being squelched, Crockett unleased a new attack on Trump, criticizing him for skipping the transfer of fallen soldiers for a tournament at his Florida golf course. Instead, he set Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to honor the four soldiers killed in a training exercise in Lithuania.

Tina Trent ayon kay ...

The Atlanta Black Star? They still believe Jussie Smolett.

You know that comprehensive deal with the U.K. that Trump touted? It's not even a legally binding agreement.

“Both the United States and the United Kingdom recognize that this document does not constitute a legally binding agreement.”
