    Favre probably got the scamming advice from Trump while they were hanging out.

    Trump-supporter Brett Favre is the same scumbag who cheated on his wife who helped him battle his addictions, so him scamming welfare money from the poor doesn't surprise me. And we all know what a scumbag MAGA Phil Bryant is already. In conclusion, scumbags gonna scumbag

    They all belong in prison, Farve, the guvner, and the lady that ran the program. Why haven't they been arrested and charged yet? Any official, college AD or whoever, that was aware of the sourc eof the funds and the obvious misappropriation should be criminally prosecuted.

    Why is Rick Scott a Senator after committing one of largest fraud schemes against the government? It should be pointed out that the texts came to light from a civil suit, not criminal proceedings. I dont think anyone is going to jail, unfortunately.

    I love how you got an "off topic" for quoting the post that actually took us off topic. While that one got no such rating....Talk about partisan.

    Shannon Sharpe hits nail on the head. Brett is clearly a criminal grifter. Hope the law catches up with the good ole boy.

    Haven’t found a good timeline for when the massive fraud began but the audit began in 2019 and the investigative journalism began in 2017, it was noted that almost every eligible recipient was being turned down

    Mississippi Today's Anna Wolfe explains sprawling welfare fraud case


    Gov. Phil Bryant, who said 0he didn’t actually intend to accept the bribe that he was offered, was busy during this timeframe, along with the Mississippi Legislature, passing the Gestational Age Act that would lead to Alito lecturing us all in Dobbs. From Wiki


    In March 2018, the Mississippi Legislature passed the Gestational Age Act, which banned any abortion operation after the first 15 weeks of pregnancy, with exceptions for a medical emergency or severe fetal abnormality but none for cases of rape or incest.[24] The medical emergency exception allows abortions to save the life of a pregnant woman and in situations where "the continuation of the pregnancy will create a serious risk of substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function".[25][26] The severe fetal abnormality exception allows abortions of fetuses whose defects will leave them incapable of living outside the womb.[26][27]

    The legislature justified this prohibition on the basis that abortions for nontherapeutic or elective reasons were "a barbaric practice, dangerous for the maternal patient, and demeaning to the medical profession".[26][28] Another basis was that the abortion procedures forbidden under the Act were said by the legislature to carry "significant physical and psychological risks",[26][29] and could cause various medical complications.[26][30]

    Governor Phil Bryant signed the bill into law, saying he was "committed to making Mississippi the safest place in America for an unborn child, and this bill will help us achieve that goal".[24] He added, "We'll probably be sued here in about a half hour, and that'll be fine with me. It is worth fighting over."[24]


    And of course let’s not forget that Gov. Bryant’s successor, Gov. Tate Reeves, told us that Mississippians were less scared of Covid because they were just better Christians than the rest of the country


    “I believe very strongly in what the Bible says, and the Bible’s very clear that ‘Whosoever believeth in him shall not perish but have everlasting life,’” Reeves said. “And, that is my worldview, it’s how I believe, it’s what drives me every single day, and I think it’s what drives a large number of Mississippians. We should take necessary precautions with respect to COVID, but we also understand that we do have everlasting life if we believe in Jesus, if we believe in God the father, and I certainly do.”

    Mississippi has the highest per-capita rate of new coronavirus cases and deaths in the United States, followed by Florida, Tennessee, South Carolina and Louisiana.



    Tate Reeves: Christians are ‘less scared’ of COVID because of their belief in eternal life


    Mississippi, where Ronald Reagan kicked off his 1980 campaign on a “states rights” theme in the county where the civil rights workers were slain that gave us Mississippi Burning, and whose largest city lacks potable water.

    Neshoba County Fair Grandstand. Ronald Reagan's speech was addressed to the audience from this grandstand.
    As part of his 1980 presidential campaign, Ronald Reagan made an appearance at the Neshoba County Fair where he gave a speech on August 3, 1980. Critics claim that Reagan's choice of location for the speech (the fairgrounds were about 7 miles from Philadelphia, Mississippi, a town associated with the murders of Chaney, Goodman, and Schwerner in 1964) was evidence of racial bias.

    During his speech, Reagan said:[1]

    I still believe the answer to any problem lies with the people. I believe in states' rights. I believe in people doing as much as they can for themselves at the community level and at the private level, and I believe we've distorted the balance of our government today by giving powers that were never intended in the Constitution to that federal establishment.

    He went on to promise to "restore to states and local governments the power that properly belongs to them."[2] The use of the phrase was seen by some as a tacit appeal to Southern white voters and a continuation of Richard Nixon's Southern strategy, while others argued it merely reflected his libertarian economic beliefs.





    Just more holy than the rest of us.

    I believe this has resurfaced because he is refusing to pay back the $200K+ interest owed on the misappropriated funds. I could be wrong, though.

    Qualifies to run for a GOP senator if you ask me....... he hits on all the right GOP prerequisities. I'm sure he also supports only Republicans being elected no matter what the vote says.
