Trump official says funds will be released ‘only when states prove they are being spent legitimately’
The changes to US childcare services as part of a response to a viral video, made by a self-described “independent journalist” and rightwing influencer, that purported to discover massive fraud at daycare centers operated by Somali Americans in Minneapolis.
However, other news outlets have not been able to verify the claims made in the video. Allegations of exploitation of Minnesota’s social safety net have also been extensively covered by local and national news media over the past several years, and prosecutors brought charges over one allegedly massive scheme during the Biden administration.
In recent weeks, Trump has intensified his xenophobic attacks on Somali Americans, including his long-running nemesis Ilhan Omar, a representative from Minnesota who is Somali American and came to the US as a refugee. He has said that Omar is “garbage” and said Somalia is “no good for a reason”.
I was wondering why tiktok algorithm starting spewing tons of self proclaimed journalists confronting Somali daycare centers proving some kind of fraud. Felt very propagandish
Trump will literally starve children, to distract the American people, from the fact that he raped children. And that, is fucking wild
So, the dog whistle here is: “Because of the BROWN people from SHITHOLE countries who are here ILLEGALLY anyway, no one can have nice things!”
Why are they allowed to do this
Are they even?
Happy fucking new year!
Rich people doing the math and trying to decide if literal slavery will be cheaper than Bread and Circuses
The president has a documented history of liking it when kids get fucked.
By him
This country so desperately wants loads of children, but makes it so challenging to support the kids
And then the same people who want to get birth rates up say you shouldn’t have children if you can’t afford them
It’s because they want the children to yern for the mines. THAT’S what “make America great again” REALLY means.
They need to children so that they can grow up and die as solders.
They want fetuses because that makes jeebus happy
Jeez
The GOP motto is, “fuck them kids”
Love a fetus though.
When he’s not fucking kids one way, he’s fucking them another.
Project 2025. So that women will have to stay home.
Ain’t gonna go like they think it will.
Why won’t it? Because I think it will. Americans are complacent.
Women are not having babies anymore. And more and more of us are taking a very firm stand on this.
Honestly, I don’t wonder if the cons hope for this exact thing.
Meaning, they hope the tradwife types/the Quiverfull Movement, etc., will be popping out lots of (white) babies, while all of those other - and here, sub in whatever - feminists, liberals, LGBTQ, etc. - people will be convinced not to do so.
I still don’t think it will work out the way they think it would - first of all, it’s not like liberals don’t come from conservative backgrounds. Same for feminists and LGBTQ. Also, I just don’t think there are enough people that are going to take up fringe movements like tradwife and Quiverfull stuff to really counterbalance birth rates at a national level.
I dunno about that. Even if being a minor is a crime punishable by summary execution, people will still pop out more humans anyway. Nothing but complete infertility of the human race can stop that.
You do know that worldwide birthrates have dropped dramatically in the last few years, right? For example it is estimated that by 2050 China will have about 600 million people. There are still babies being made but not to the extent there should be this is why the birthrate is declining.
We should start feeding all the dead bodies to sharks.
The oceans would have so many sharks.
Sharks, as far as the eye can see. Ah. What a world that would be.
Hammerhead sharks. Nurse sharks. Great white sharks. Reef sharks. So many sharks.
Edit:
SHARKS!
Sharks?
Where?
They’re over here and over there, in fact they’re everywhere!
They’re in the rivers in the sea, why there’s sharks! Sharks! As far as the eye can so. Oh what a world that would be.
But Fred, I don’t see any sharks around, this might be in your head. Are confused? Are you concussed? Have you been fooled? Is this a ruse? Fred? Fred!?
They haven’t been born yet Mark, but look around this lovely park, it’s full of old ones, covered in gold bond, they’re not long for this earth, and then what is their worth?
Mark, mark, just think about the people in this park, their walkers gone without a song to sing with mouths or hearts. Should we bury them in stinking earth or burn them in Fort Worth?
There’s one solution that I see, it’s sharks, and mankind’s future’s there in shimmering seas.
When it’s my time to depart this earth, my body’s lost its only worth, so wait until the night is dark and throw me to the sharks.
The sharks, the sharks, they’ll feed on human flesh and breed and choke the rivers and the seas, this I ask my dearest Fred, that you do when I’m dead, the shark, the sharks, that’s the burial for me.
What do you mean by “should be”
Looks like “at replacement rate”, which is a little over 2 for humans overall since we’re a near-even split on sex and not every human born will have children.
China’s per-uterus replacement rate is probably substantially higher than other countries, due to an unintended effect of their “one child” policy.
They’ve known that their population is too huge for decades, and if they manage to drop down to USA-equivalent levels for their habitable size without become a failed state it’ll be the single greatest achievement of a communist state towards world peace.
Of course I do. But they haven’t fallen enough.
According to a recent research, the world’s population could reach 8.5 billion by 2050 before declining to 7 billion by 2100. By 2050, population growth might come to a halt.
2050? A shame I’ll probably be dead by then.
But they aren’t …
Birth rate is lowest in history.
The statistics show that you’re mostly wrong. Yes of course some births will continue, but the birth rate has dropped and will continue to do so. Just look at Japan or South Korea to see how it looks.
But Generation Beta in the US will still be large enough to exceed Minimum Viable Population. And as a last resort, more young people can be shipped in.
How would it? Just because they have an insane idea doesn’t mean A actually does lead to B.
As long as Elon can afford his 50th yacht and fund a robot army for himself, that’s the most important thing.
And he doesnt care for his own children so why would he care about anyone elses
This will definitely encourage more people to have kids.
The US is just speed running Japan in the 90s so they can have a couple of lost decades and lose all significance in the world.
This is more than lost decades. America isn’t rec9vering from this.
y’all aren’t thinking depraved enough: when these families can’t afford to take care of their children, a soldier is born.
By design.
Ooh! Can we get the deflation too??
Deflation to wages? Sure.
Everything else will stay expensive.
OK but they were having the wrong KIND of kids
Daycare is woke. Just another obvious win for the average American and MAGA voter.
/s
misread “average American and MAGA voter” as “average American anal MAGA voter”
makes sense because they are being fucked
