A government watchdog group says the Small Business Administration misled the public about its ability to prevent fraud in a disaster business loan program

more than $188 billion through 3.5 million loans, plus $20 billion in grants to help businesses survive the pandemic shutdowns.

Nick Schwellenbach, a senior investigator with POGO, said the group was approached by an SBA insider, who it declined to identify. Schwellenbach said POGO independently verified that the person works with the agency. POGO pointed to dates on several of the emails time-stamped after Carranza’s July 23 letter. The group also said the emails provided evidence of managers directing employees to change application processes in response to concerns of fraudulent activity.

After Beirut Blast, Lebanese Volunteers Deliver Relief The State Fails To ProvideFollowing the Beirut explosion, thousands of volunteers from across Lebanon and its diaspora flooded the affected areas, armed with shovels to clear rubble and wreckage blocking the streets and offering accommodation to countless who'd lost their homes. They still haven’t released the official cause or cam out with any findings from any investigation. They’re government is so corrupt and their citizens deserve so much better than that. Good people working to help one another is what makes the world a better place. My heart goes out to those affected by the Beirut explosion. Thank you, Lebanese volunteers, for helping out. 🙏🏼 BeirutExplosion Lebanese helpingothers goodsamaritan BeirutBlast Beirut

GOP election lawyer says no evidence to support Trump's claim about mail-in voting fraudBenjamin Ginsberg, a top Republican election lawyer who has represented four Republican presidential candidates, slammed President Donald Trump's claims of widespread voter fraud in a new op-ed saying it lacks evidence and is 'unsustainable.' It’s not the evidence of past fraud that’s the issue, it’s the potential for future fraud. That's because he made it up. Just like every other accusation he's made since all the birther bullshit. Well... he didn't make birther up himself, did he? I think he just saw it on fox or something. You get the point though, the dude is full of cheeto flavored shit. 'The truth is that after decades of looking for illegal voting, there’s no proof of widespread fraud. At most, there are isolated incidents — by both Democrats and Republicans. Elections are not rigged.' - longtime GOP election lawyer Ben Ginsburg in wapo.

Special Report: How a small group of U.S. lawyers pushed voter fraud fears into the mainstreamFor months, President Donald Trump has tried to convince Americans that the Nov. 3 election will be “rigged,” claiming without evidence that mail voting will open the door to mass cheating. We don't need evidence. Everyone knows leftist will do anything to win. This gives them another perfect opportunity. Shouldn't that be 'voter *roll* fraud'? Why is media so reluctant to talk about voter rolls? There is fraud. When you go wide spread mail in voting the chances have now increases dramatically of mail in fraud when every state is now doing it. It’s not hard to understand.
