Brickbat: Friends in High Places

Massachusetts State Auditor Diana DiZoglio reports that Gov. Maura Healey, a Democrat, mishandled the state's emergency shelter system by approving "improper and unlawful" no-bid contracts for food and transportation services, costing taxpayers millions. Some of the contracts went to Healey's campaign donors. DiZoglio's audit criticizes Healey for not using competitive bidding, leading to overpayments, while highlighting a lack of transparency and oversight in the program. Healey's team says the contracts were necessary due to an unexpected surge in migrant and homeless families.

"an unexpected surge in migrant and homeless families."
Here is the stupidest, most useless, lying bullshit of Kamala's horrific VP stint. Here is tough love at the Border
"Do not come. Do not come. The United States will continue to enforce our laws and secure our borders," Harris said in a speech from Guatemala.
"If you come to our border, you will be turned back."
=====>PURE BULLSHIT
"Kamala Harris is one of two things: 1. The architect of the TEN MILLION illegal alien invasion into America... or 2. The total and complete failure who couldn't secure the border. The first is treason. Both are disqualifying."
Now why is it important to say what political party?
Skin color information would be more informative.
Gotta have both. Because, you know, any person of color with an (R) next to their name is a sellout, Uncle Tom, and etcetera.
It's for the immigrants, Ms. DiZoglio. How can you complain?
Seems like a summary example of central planning versus a market economy.
