The Somali Daycare Scandal is blowing up, hitting right here at home in the Seattle area

It turns out that Minneapolis is not the only city in America where Somali "refugees" are setting up fraudulent daycare/child care businesses and billing the government for millions of dollars.

It’s my first Cellpic Sunday! Marina After Dark

Hubby and I went out for dinner tonight, at a place near the Everett Marina. On the way in, I noticed that some of the boats near the restaurant had already put up Christmas lights on their masts and around their edges. So I told him that we should stop on the way home and …

Friday Funnies, Halloween in Aiken edition

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #326: This Made Me Smile

Smiles are one thing we need a lot more of these days. It's easy to be serious, with all the bad news out there, but I do try to keep my eyes open for fun things. On our trip to Colorado in 2022, we stopped in Rock Springs, Wyoming for dinner. We ate at a …

Obama Lied, Your Employer-provided Health Benefits Died
