There is no way on God’s green earth that anyone else with an ongoing BRIBERY investigation looming over their head would be approved for access to the janitor’s closet at DHS, let alone a security clearance.
Border czar Tom Homan didn't receive a normal background check for his role while his bribery probe was still ongoing:
Justice officials felt sure Homan would not be able to obtain a security clearance based on the evidence gathered. It remains unclear how Homan was eventually granted clearance.

President-elect Trump initially balked at submitting names of likely nominees to the FBI for background checks, a basic step intended to flag possible financial conflicts or ethical problems.

Imagine watching Sinatra, son of Dolly & Antonini born in Genoa & Sicily, respectively, and Martin, son of Gaetano & Angela, born in Montesilvano, Italy & Ohio respectively, (Angela to parents born in Monasterolo, Italy), and crusading against the value of children of immigrants to the U.S.

In a world full of discord, kindness is a choice.
And I’m seeing too many people take pleasure in kicking those who are already down.
Real kindness doesn’t punch down.
It understands power—and takes responsibility for how its used.
Whatever privilege you hold, use it to protect.
That’s the line.

Just Joe Rogan normalizing Nazis, year after year.
Joe Rogan and Shane Gillis on Nick Fuentes running for president one day.
Rogan: “He could probably win in a few years. Listen, he couldn’t have existed before, right? Ten, twenty years ago, couldn’t have existed. Now, super popular. What’s twenty years from now look like?”

“Every milestone, every anniversary, every life event becomes another confrontation with absence.
Another reminder that the person you love is not
there.
The grief is revisited-not because healing has failed, but because love remains.
Grief does not end.
It changes shape.”

There is no such thing as dysfunction without function.
Behaviour doesn’t persist without purpose. When clients retreat into what looks like dysfunction it’s usually because that behaviour once helped them survive.

I understand why Social and Emotional Wellbeing (SEWB) exists. I was around when it first emerged.
I’ve never been a fan — and I know that’s controversial.
So let me explain how I see the relationship between SEWB and Indigenous mental health./2

SEWB, as currently applied, is not a measurable construct.
No agreed thresholds.
No standardised outcomes.
No national benchmarking.
And in policy systems, what can’t be measured is quietly deprioritised./7
