This is infuriating.
Hire who you want, but don’t pay them way more than they could hope to make in the private sector, and make them actually come to work.

The nuance in the article, and the excuse making as a result of it, is pretty hysterical for what is a clear cut case of stolen valor. But my favorite part is that the media only got an inkling of this as a result of opposition research from Democratic Primary opponents. The MSM does not independently vet democratic candidates for office. When Wes Moore ran for governor of Maryland in 2022, questions about whether he had claimed to have been awarded a Bronze Star for his Army service in Afghanistan hovered over his campaign.
For reasons that remain unexplained, two television interviewers, Gwen Ifill and Stephen Colbert, had wrongly introduced him years earlier as a recipient of the award. Mr. Moore failed to correct them, even as he and his aides insisted he had never told anyone he had a Bronze Star.
But at least once, Mr. Moore, now the state’s Democratic governor, did say he had received the award.
He made the claim on an application for a prestigious White House fellowship in 2006, when he was 27 years old, according to a copy of the document that was obtained this week by The New York Times as part of a Freedom of Information Act request.
“For my work,” he wrote, “the 82nd Airborne Division have awarded me the Bronze Star Medal and the Combat Action Badge.”However, when Mr. Moore submitted the application in January 2006, he had not been awarded either the Bronze Star or the Combat Action Badge. He was awarded the badge in May 2006 for an episode the previous December, but there is no record showing that he ever received a Bronze Star, an Army spokeswoman said.

My boss told me my raise was a done deal. But it never went through. Will the bank tell me I have my money still?

I’m sure President Biden will straighten out our NATO ally over this.

The FBI appears to be going after the entire upper tier of New York City's government.
