I wonder how much of our annual deficit would be reduced if all fraud in America was stopped??

quote:

In one of his autopen’s last acts before Joe Biden left office was to pardon Capt. Mike Byrd, the DC officer who shot and killed January 6 protester Ashli Babbitt in cold blood during the protests on Capitol Hill on January 6, 2021


quote:

On Tuesday, investigative journalist Paul Sperry discovered and posted that Former Lt., now Captain Mike Byrd, and his wife, Kaleska Byrd, have operated a home-based day care called Byrd’s Family Day Care from their residence in Brandywine, Maryland, since 2008. That is nearly 17 years!

Public records and listings on sites like CareLuLu confirm the existence of this licensed family child care provider, operating under Kaleska Byrd’s name (Maryland license #255727) and located in Brandywine, MD, year-round.


quote:

Sperry alleged that the daycare received $190 million in HHS funds. However, according to the Maryland State Department of Education, $193 million is the total allocation to Maryland, distributed across thousands of childcare providers.

There’s no way one day received $190m out of $193m total. Either Sperry got his facts wrong or Maryland doesn’t pay attention to who they send funds too.

That number is for the entire state. I think her daycare is legit based on the thread yesterday but they live in a mansion. Why take taxpayer money?

Heard some #s the other week, that if it were stopped anyone making less than $400-500k/year wouldn't have to pay taxes. I'm sure the IRS would recalculate it to their benefit, but even if it would be $250-300k most would be happy.

Good post, thanks. I'm not defending Byrd or his actions, but the day Care seems legit and I posted Google Earth photos in previous thread showing there home playground and equipment.

People can rag on Byrd all they want, but doesn't look like the Day Care is even close to fraud, illegal, or not legit. Your post is additional confirmation.

His wife may be doing a bang up job. Posters will rag on why take the money, blah, blah, blah. They seem to be following the law and rules in this matter.

Anyone who's seen the video knows this is false. She was forcefully breaching a barricade, not casually walking down a hallway minding her own business.

We will add you to the list when you fail to detail why Officer Byrd would’ve reasonably been in fear for his own or other’s imminent severe bodily harm.

Running a daycare from your home with a max 8 kids is a pretty low bar for a “successful small business.” But the general point of your post stands.
