The following quote is the opening salvo from an article titled “The Largest Funder of Al-Shabaab Is the Minnesota Taxpayer,” by Ryan Thorpe and Christopher Rufo, both with the Manhattan Institute: Minnesota is drowning in fraud. Billions in taxpayer dollars have been stolen during the administration of Governor Tim Walz alone. Democratic state officials, overseeing one of the most generous welfare regimes in the country, are asleep at the switch. And the media, duty-bound by progressive pieties, refuse to connect the dots. [snip] In many cases, the fraud has allegedly been perpetrated by members of Minnesota’s sizeable Somali community. Federal...

Voices across Chicago and the nation expressed alarm on Saturday after two shootings in the Loop following the city’s annual Christmas tree lighting left a 14-year-old boy dead and eight other people, nearly all juveniles, wounded. Officials said officers arrested 18 people and recovered five firearms during what authorities described as widespread mayhem in the downtown area after the ceremony. Video circulating on social media showed a group of young people beating and robbing an apparent teenage victim in the Loop during Friday’s mayhem. As the boy curled up on the ground, someone pulled off his winter coat. Moments later,...

President Donald Trump told Just the News on Sunday morning that he will designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization, striking a blow against a group long blamed for destabilizing the Middle East and radicalizing young Muslims. "It will be done in the strongest and most powerful terms," Trump said. "Final documents are being drawn." The president's announcement came just days after Just the News published a long expose on the Muslim Brotherhood's activities and growing concerns inside the Trump administration. Trump has been considering the move since his first administration. The Muslim Brotherhood is an Islamist group...

A University of Texas freshman took his own life after months of 'demeaning and cruel hazing' which saw him burned with cigarettes and beaten, a lawsuit claims. Sawyer Lee Updike was allegedly 'speared with a fishhook' during an alcohol-fueled event and had his hip pierced with a staple gun, according to the filing from his parents. The lawsuit also alleges that he was forced to take cocaine. Updike, 18, died alone in a convenience-store parking lot just months after joining UT Austin's Sigma Chi's Alpha Nu.

BYU made the Big 12's conference championship scenarios pretty straightforward on Saturday night. A loss by the No. 11 Cougars at Cincinnati could have led to a four-way tie for second in the conference behind Texas Tech. Instead, just three teams remain alive for the conference title heading into the last weekend of the season as BYU won 26-14.

In August, the FBI released its report on national crime statistics for 2024. Over 14 million crimes were reported to the Uniform Crime Reporting Program (UCR) by participating law enforcement authorities, including state, county, city, university, and tribal agencies. I was unable to find any comprehensive published analysis of the 2024 data, so I did my own partial study. I was able to extract pertinent data from the FBI’s Crime Data Explorer. I created six tables that I thought might be of interest to American Thinker readers: state violent crime data, state property crime data, and state total crime data....

Did trusted California Pastor Jack Hibbs play a role in Charlie Kirk’s assassination? Are Calvary Chapels a secret military operation to manipulate Christians into supporting Israel? According to disgraced commentator Candace Owens, the answer to both questions is yes....

On Nov. 10, 2025, the Prophecy News Watch (PNW) staff posted an article that contained the following (and more): Something is changing in the heart of America–quietly, steadily, and with consequences that will touch every church and every family. In the last half-century, the number of Muslims in the United States has multiplied many times over. A simple truth hides behind all the statistics: in just two or three generations, America will not look the same spiritually. In 1970, about nine out of ten Americans identified as Christian. Today, that number has dropped to around six in ten–and falling fast....

Feminists in the ’60s and ’70s had a slogan that sought to politicize the household: The personal is political. The rallying cry was meant to challenge traditional family values and the expectation that women should be caring wives and mothers who looked after the home. Breaking free from the “prison” of the nuclear family was described as “liberating” for American women. So-called “student activists” and “black liberation” groups adopted the argument for their own purposes, and protest movements sought out ways to invade Americans’ private spaces. The idea was to make people feel uncomfortable so that they were forced to...

Justine Lindsay, who became the NFL‘s first trans cheerleader in 2022, is now opening up about why she was fired in August. Lindsay told her story in an Instagram Live video, saying she was cut from the Carolina Panthers’ dance team, TopCats, because of her trans identity. “I was cut because I’m trans,” Lindsay said on the stream, according to Them. “I don’t wanna hear nobody saying ‘She didn’t wanna come back.’ Why the hell would I not wanna come back to an organization that I’ve been a part of for three years?” Lindsay added that she was “devastated” and...

Jesus Christ is King of Thieves, though He never stole. He is savior of sinners, though He never sinned. Today’s Gospel chosen presents Jesus as reigning from the cross. Nothing could be more paradoxical. Let’s look at it from four perspectives: Vision –Today’s Gospel presents a vision or image of the Church. We like to think of more pleasant images: the Church is the Bride of Christ or the Body of Christ. Today’s image is more humbling to be sure: the Church is Christ, crucified between two thieves. Yes, this is the Church too. In a way, we are...

It was only near week’s end that things started really hopping. Oh, sure, there was another D.C. federal district judge issuing a ridiculous order -- this week one of them enjoined the President from power washing the Executive Office Building that sits nearby the White House. I must have missed the constitutional provision providing that, for historical if not aesthetic reasons, our federal buildings must be grime covered. And yes, the media was still trying to confect out of the juvenile blatherings of Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes a major split in MAGA.(More likely in my opinion Carlson engaged in...

Disgraced ex-TV anchor Stephanie Hockridge will spend the next ten years behind bars for her role in a multi-million-dollar COVID fraud scheme – serving her time in the same cushy lockup as notorious sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell. The 42-year-old, a former Phoenix TV anchor turned entrepreneur, was sentenced in Texas federal court Friday and ordered to cough up nearly $64 million in restitution for the bogus Paycheck Protection Program loans she helped secure during the height of the pandemic, the Justice Department announced. Hockridge, found guilty in June of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, will report to prison on Dec....
