We shouldn’t be so surprised by the daycare-fraud scandal in Minnesota. The whole daycare industry is ripe for fraud. Nor are we surprised by the way the legacy media has hushed up the story. The mainstream media’s sympathy for the Left— and ‘strage new respect’ for conservatives who move leftward— is an old, old story.
That and more on the Home Front this week. And don’t miss the Show Notes (below), which provide the background for our conversation.
