Ted DiBiase Jr. Delivered One List in Exchange for $3.2 Million in Welfare, Witnesses Testify Former nonprofit operator Christi Webb testified she was ordered to pay millions of dollars in welfare funds to Ted DiBiase Jr.

When Christi Webb tried to cut off the flow of millions in welfare funds to ex-pro wrestler Teddy DiBiase, Mississippi welfare chief John Davis called her crying, she testified.

“‘The only way I can have friends is to give them money. He’s got to keep getting this money,’" she recalled him saying.

I dunno man, I think precipitously canceling people's funding caused a lot of damage to other people's careers and lives and reputations and maybe they should live with the blowback. They come from a media ecosystem that makes public lists of insufficiently bigoted professors.

I feel like it should be more widely unpopular that in the past year we’ve witnessed the creation of an American Stasi required to meet arrest quotas who utilize an AI technology created by a company run by a sweaty raisin of a billionaire who thinks Greta Thunberg is the antichrist.
