"Welfare" Fraud! Brett Favre has not paid rest of $1.1M to Mississippi TANF

Brett Favre yet to make $600K repayment to Mississippi despite promise, state says

Favre promised to repay the state after an audit released in May 2020 revealed $1.1 million had been paid to his company, Favre Enterprises. The amount was part of $94 million in welfare spending that was "questioned" by auditors who said they either saw clear misspending or could not verify whether money was lawfully spent.

"After the initial media dustup, he stroked a check for $500 grand and gave a commitment, a voluntary commitment, to repay the rest in the coming months," Reeves told The Associated Press. "And then, that didn't happen.“

The audit claimed Favre Enterprises was paid $500,000 in December 2017 and $600,000 in June 2018, and Favre was supposed to have made speeches for at least three events. The auditor's report said "upon a cursory review of those dates, auditors were able to determine that the individual contracted did not speak nor was he present for those events."

Favre has not been accused of a crime.

When federal officials make that decision, they could choose to take no action, or to ask Favre and others to pay money back, Reeves said. The state of Mississippi could be asked to repay the money from its general fund, or federal authorities could choose to withhold a percentage of Mississippi's federal funding until the money is repaid.

Fuck Liz Cheney

Not being an idiot doesn’t make you a hero.
She’s wrapped, coated, and dipped in privilege. She could be a representative for 12 people* or making big bucks on The View or some sort of copy cat.




*to be accurate there are more people than that there.

The weapons seizure so big it covered the rear deck of a 567-foot US warship



A joint US Navy and Coast Guard team seized thousands of illicit weapons last week after stopping a small ship in the North Arabian Sea, the Navy said in a statement.

The cruiser USS Monterey stopped the stateless dhow on May 6 during a routine operation to verify its registry, the Navy said.

A US Coast Guard Advanced Interdiction Team deployed on the Navy ship then boarded the dhow and found the weapons stash.

"The cache of weapons included dozens of advanced Russian-made anti-tank guided missiles, thousands of Chinese Type 56 assault rifles, and hundreds of PKM machine guns, sniper rifles and rocket-propelled grenade launchers. Other weapon components included advanced optical sights," the Navy statement said.

The origin and destination of the weapons is under investigation but previous arms shipments confiscated by the US Navy under similar circumstances were bound for Houthi rebels in Yemen, Lt. Cmdr. Pete Pagano, a spokesperson for the Navy's Fifth Fleet told CNN in an email Monday.
