Minnesota state employees accused Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz of bearing full responsibility for massive fraud that drained the state’s social services programs, claiming he retaliated against whistleblowers who tried to sound the alarm. “Tim Walz is 100% responsible for massive fraud in Minnesota,” the employees wrote in a statement posted to social media. They described a “cascade of systemic failures” and alleged Walz “systematically retaliated against whistleblowers using monitoring, threats, repression, and did his best to discredit fraud reports.” The accusations come as federal prosecutors pursue cases involving more than $1 billion in stolen taxpayer funds across three separate...

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is facing bipartisan scrutiny over his reported order to strike a boat in the Caribbean a second time, killing two survivors who were clinging to the ship’s wreckage on Sept. 2. The Washington Post reported Friday that Hegseth issued an order to “kill everybody” after the initial strike, the first of what is now more than 20 such attacks, did not immediately kill all 11 of the people on board the vessel, leading the Special Operations commander overseeing the attack to order a second strike. Some Democrats and a senior Republican said Sunday the strike was...

President Donald Trump has been back in office for almost a year -- roughly 315 days -- and has governed with the urgency of a turnaround CEO. He hit the ground running, signing executive orders immediately after inauguration and maintaining a pace unmatched in modern politics. But what becomes of all this action? Executive orders can be reversed the moment a new president arrives unless Congress codifies them into law. That’s the key difference between temporary executive action and lasting legislative reform. According to Ballotpedia, “As of November 25, 2025, President Donald Trump had signed 217 executive orders, 54 memoranda,...

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), who is currently running for governor, got absolutely humiliated during a campaign event in Orange County by Grammy-nominated singer Tish Hyman, who heckled him in a glorious exchange that featured the congressman doing a metaphorical tap dance around whether men identifying as women should be allowed in female locker rooms. The obvious answer is “no,” but Swalwell wouldn’t provide the simple two-letter answer. Hyman stuck it to Swalwell at the event, which comes just a few short weeks after she was kicked out of a Golds Gym in Los Angeles after she confronted a transgender woman...

US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Sunday that Rahmanullah Lakanwal, the Afghan suspect in the shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, may have been radicalized after entering the United States, AFP reported. Lakanwal, 29, faces a first-degree murder charge in the November 26 attack that killed 20-year-old guardsman Sarah Beckstrom and critically wounded another. “I will say we believe he was radicalized since he’s been here in this country,” Noem told NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday. In another interview on ABC’s This Week, she added, “We do believe it was through connections in his home community...

A female boxer is trending on social media for her controversial weigh-in outfit. Ebanie Bridges, a 39-year-old boxer, has trended on social media for the clothes she decides to wear to her weigh-ins - or, rather, the lack of clothes she chooses to wear. Bridges often shows up in her underwear. Male boxers do this all the time, too. However, for Bridges, she often sees herself trending on social media as a result. Some have called for her to wear more clothing when in front of the cameras. But despite the calls to change her outfits, Bridges is promising that...

The U.S. Supreme Court could soon extend its administrative stay in the Texas redistricting case that has generated nationwide controversy and headlines for months. If so, a legal analyst told CBS News Texas that it will become a clear signal that the Justices will keep the 2025 congressional maps in place for next year's all-important midterm elections.

Madhu Purnima Kishwar @madhukishwar Indian origin Samir Shah has been chosen as chairman of @BBCNews. You know the main reason why Samir Shah got this job? Because he is a converted Muslim ! He was raised a Jain in India before coming to England in 1960 aged 9 and later converted to Islam to marry his wife Belkis. One of Jainism's guiding principles is to always tell the truth. By retaining his Hindu name, Samir Shah is deceiving gullible .... The @BBC ...has certainly played a smart game: chosen a man with a Hindu name to do a hatchet job...

When it comes to Muslim terrorism, the official trope is that “it’s always mental illness until you find a video of him pledging allegiance to ISIS” and even then there’s some wriggle room. Little surprise then that the media is trying to sell the “he was just sad” angle to explain why Rahmanullah Lakanwal traveled from Washington State to D.C. and then ambushed and shot and killed two members of the National Guard.

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has received little support from long-time allies Russia and China as President Trump ramps up military pressure against Caracas. Beijing and Moscow, Maduro’s two most powerful allies, have previously provided Venezuela with military equipment, financial aid, and army training in the face of American aggression — but both nations have strayed from their usual tactics as they face their own military and economic woes. While Russia previously deployed two nuclear-capable bombers to Venezuela as a united show of force against the US in 2018, Moscow’s generosity has apparently dried up as it approaches its fourth year...

The truth behind the video that was viewed 4 million times on Instagram. "A dangerous step up": The influence campaign of pro-Palestinian celebrities. Sophisticated pro-Palestinian groups are waging psychological warfare by impersonating popular celebrities, forging content with advanced deepfake AI technology, and building fake credibility over time, Israeli company Vetric reveals. The method relies on exploiting the emotional connection between a fan and a star to instill extremist political messages, which results in the lies being spread authentically by real users. Here’s how it works Dana Gutterson. Mako. Published:30.11.25, 08:57| Updated:30.11.25, 23:00 Pro-Palestinian impersonation campaign | Photo: From social networks....

Buried in a recent study published by researchers with the Guttmacher Institute (Planned Parenthood's former research arm and "special affiliate") is the real reason why reports indicate a huge spike in abortions since the end of Roe v. Wade in June of 2022: mail-order abortion. Key Takeaways: * The Guttmacher Institute notes that telehealth abortion with the ability to mail abortion pills to abortion seekers has contributed to the increased abortion numbers since the end of Roe v. Wade. * In 2023 and 2024, Guttmacher and #WeCount reported increased abortion numbers overall, with the abortion pill comprising about 63% of...

The number of women seeking permanent birth control — via tubal ligation — has increased more than 50% following the Supreme Court’s 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson case, which overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark legislation that protected abortion access. Researchers examined the number of tubal ligations — commonly known as "getting your tubes tied" — performed at four academic medical centers in New York, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Tennessee, before and after Roe v. Wade was overturned. They recorded the findings in a study published in the journal Contraception. In the year after Roe v. Wade’s overturn, researchers recorded a 51%...

With scrutiny mounting over the risksof the abortion drug mifepristone, the abortion industry is increasingly pivoting to an alternative: misoprostol-only abortion. This shift is being framed as a safe and effective option. But as an OBGYN, I am compelled to clarify what the evidence actually shows. Misoprostol-only abortion is not a medical advancement. It is an inferior, failure-prone protocol promoted for its supposed convenience rather than its safety and effectiveness. To start, misoprostol was never FDA-approved for abortion. The drug was developed to prevent gastric ulcers. In obstetric care, it can be used under careful evaluation and monitoring by a...

CONSPIRACY THEORY NO MORE: Stephen Miller: “The Democrat Party, via the Biden-Harris Terrorist Administration devised a scheme to import illegal aliens into the country by the millions — granting them ‘parole,’ which gives them work permits, which gives them Social Security numbers, which gives them access to the voting booth — and finally hooking them on welfare like Hunter Biden hooked on drugs, all with the sole purpose of participating in U.S. elections and ultimately overthrowing the Constitutional Republic of the United States.” The whole f**king is seditious,

[Catholic Caucus] “Today's Modernism is more subtle, more camouflaged, more forceful and more hypocritical.”"[...] as time goes on, we need to realize more that the divergence between the two currents [one faithful to the Magisterium of the Church and the modernist one] is not of form, but of substance; it is not about the way the truth should be expressed and taught, but about the truth itself. We are in full-blown modernism. Not the naive, open, aggressive, and combative modernism at the time of Pius X. No. Today's Modernism is more subtle, more camouflaged, more forceful, and more hypocritical. It...
