Just some news from  gatewaypundit this morning.... a few things to ponder over morning coffee, maybe look up for more information if you are so inclined.

A ringleader in Minnesota’s massive Feeding Our Future scandal has been sentenced to 10 years in federal prison for attempting to purchase a not-guilty verdict with a staggering $120,000 cash bribe.

Abdiaziz Shafii Farah, 37, was sentenced Wednesday by U.S. District Judge Eric Tostrud for his role in the brazen plot to bribe a federal juror during his 2024 fraud trial, the Justice Department announced Friday.

Farah had already been sentenced to 28 years in prison for helping steal tens of millions of dollars from a taxpayer-funded program intended to feed needy children during the COVID pandemic.

 

 

 

 

 

Radical Democratic Socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced Monday that the city will open five city-owned, taxpayer-funded grocery stores, one in each borough, with prices on a core basket of items set at up to 30% below typical retail. The plan, a centerpiece of Mamdani’s campaign, will use $70 million in capital funds. The city will own the land or space, cover construction, renovations, rent, and property taxes. Core discounted items include all fresh produce, meat, and seafood, plus about 20 pantry staples, dairy, and refrigerated goods such as eggs, milk, bread, cheese, rice, and beans. Prices on that basket will be locked in monthly at 30% below typical retail with “no exceptions, no gimmicks.” Other products sell at market rates. Officials claim the average household could save about $90 a month or $1,000 a year, according to ABC7 NY.

Morning Coffee - no time! But I had so much I WANTED to say... can't. Gotta run.

 

 
 
 
 
 

This Amazon employee was able to steal this much in just a couple years... to buy a mansion, a Tesla, Model X and Porsche...  

The sad thing is it didn't surprise me.
Even more sad, Amazon doesn't really seem to care.   
The theft of their employees is SO wide spread.  Not just in high level ways like this person did by messing with vendor orders, but the amount of packages stolen by their employees is sickening.  And there is no way to easily report theft and damage by the drivers... even when you have it literally on video.  

They make it so hard to find the contact info, the links, etc and when you do... the people you are 'speaking' (emailing and talking to) are AI and then are overseas employees with little to no comprehension of the English language.

THEN they try to wear you out and wear you down by NOT helping and hoping you give up.
Yes I know this personally.

 





Pondering over coffee... I remember when this story broke - (computers given out by the school were found to be taking photos of the students in their bedrooms)

I remember this - but this time around, I dug a little deeper.  There was a lot more to the story than what the news covered.  It was pretty one sided... but it was interesting to take the time to dig a little deeper while I sipped my morning coffee.  Oh, there are still far more details and stories I could read, but coffee break was over!

 

 

 


A student at Harriton High School near Philadelphia was called into the assistant principal's office and accused of drug use at home. What evidence did they have? A photo taken from the webcam on his school issued laptop while he was sitting in his bedroom.

The "drugs" turned out to just be candy.

What Blake Robbins didn't know was that his school district had installed software that allowed staff to remotely activate laptop webcams and capture screenshots without students' knowledge. Over a two week period, Robbins was photographed more than 400 times, including while he slept.

As the story unfolded, the Lower Merion School District admitted that its tracking system had captured more than 56,000 images and screenshots from student laptops over roughly two years. Many of those images were taken inside students' homes.

The scandal, later dubbed "WebcamGate," sparked national outrage and raised serious questions about digital privacy, surveillance, and the limits of school authority. Robbins and his family filed a federal lawsuit, which the district settled in 2010 for $610,000. Of that amount, $175,000 was placed in a trust for Robbins.

The FBI investigated the case, but prosecutors ultimately declined to bring criminal charges, saying they did not find sufficient evidence of criminal intent.
