22. Have you heard about the NC Auditor, Dave Boliek?

He just finished his audit of the "fraud" committed by unemployment claimants in NC. He's exactly what this Christian Nationalist government loves.

He's going through NC's books like a buzz saw from every direction. Sound familiar?

He calls it auditing. But it really looks more like meddling and creating problems out of thin air.

The purpose isn't to save money or stop fraud. The purpose is to eliminate programs and benefits and to use the "savings" to pad the pockets of the kleptocracy.

It's all in print in Project 2025, and they are following their plan to the letter.
