• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

He is either in the passenger seat or driving in a foreign country with the seat belt over the opposite shoulder.
It could be the way the video is posted. I see many many videos on YTube that show backwards lettering, medals on military members on the wrong side of their uniforms, they salute left handed and much more. Everything is backwards. Might explain the seatbeat.
 


Secretary Bessent goes toe-to-toe with Margaret Brennan over the exploding Somali fraud scandal in Minnesota.

Bessent revealed that Treasury is now tracking money that was moved out of the U.S. to the Middle East and Somalia — by individuals tied to the scheme.

And he ended his appearance with a line Brennan clearly didn’t expect.

BESSENT: “To be clear, the initial fraud was discovered by the IRS, for which I’m the acting commissioner, it was discovered by IRS criminal investigations unit.”

“This was not endogenous that the state of Minnesota decided. We had to go in and clean up the mess for them. This is part of the continued cleanup.”

“A lot of money has been transferred from the individuals who committed this fraud, including those who donated to the governor, donated to representative Omar and to AG Ellison.”

“They have been transferred to something called MBSs.”

“They are wire transfer organizations that are outside the regulated banking system. That money has gone overseas. We are tracking that, both to the Middle East and Somalia to see what the uses of that have been.”

BRENNAN: “You have no evidence of that money being used to fuel terrorism at this point? Which is what some conservative writers are alleging.”

BESSENT: “That’s why it’s an investigation. We started it last week. We will see where it goes.”

“I can tell you, it’s terrible. Representative Omar tried to downplay it. Said it was very…it was very tough to know how this money should be used. She was gaslighting the American people.”

“When you come to this country, you have to learn which side of the road to drive on, stop at stop signs and learn not to defraud the American people.”
