If there was ever a perfect case study in just how destructive the Democrat Party’s top two policy priorities — mass welfare distribution and unchecked immigration from the Third World — are to America, it’s what continues to unfold in Minnesota.Federal prosecutors have uncovered hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars stolen over the past five years by Somali descendants living throughout the state in pockets of immigrant-dense communities. The schemes led to more than $1 billion in theft of welfare money intended for the impoverished who are supposedly unable to feed and house themselves. The dollars instead were pocketed primarily...

Bill Cosby’s sprawling New York townhouse was sold less than a month after being listed for $29 million, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky identified as the buyer through an offshore company – Film Heritage Inc.

Dearborn, Michigan, was back in the national spotlight last month after a far-right protest spiraled into street clashes, a near-Quran burning, and the latest debate about religion, identity and political extremism in America's largest Muslim-majority city. The drama began when Jake Lang – a January 6 rioter, newly pardoned by Donald Trump, and now a long-shot Republican US Senate candidate in Florida – arrived in Dearborn with an entourage, cameras, and a self-styled 'anti-Sharia' crusade. He carried bacon in one hand and a Quran in the other, marching through the city center in combat gear and trolling locals, daring them...

And another surprise, turns out our government was funding a dictatorship in Somalia — This is where the movie Black Hawk Down comes from. But overall Somalis have no right...

Leftists walk a fine line, making pronouncements that are valid in the narrowest technical sense but effectively seditious. An obvious example is the Seditious Six calling for military personnel not to obey “illegal” orders, while refusing to clarify what they mean by that. True enough, no one should obey orders that are clearly illegal. But the obvious message is that servicemembers should not obey orders that leftists wouldn’t like. Otherwise, they might be punished once Democrats take power. Brian O’Hara, Minneapolis police chief under the ultramoonbat Jacob Frey, provides another example by advising citizens to call 911 on ICE agents...

In an effort to return common sense, practicality and affordability to the American consumer base for automobiles, President Trump announced the elimination of Je Biden’s Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards for manufactured cars and trucks.Under the auspices of the “green new deal” the Biden administration mandated ridiculous quotas for EVs and demanded lower power combustible engines or pay a climate change tax. These CAFE standards resulted in a surcharge for large vehicles, large engine autos and SUVs, and essentially bifurcated the auto consumer into those who could afford to pay for efficiency and stability and those who could not.We’re...

Wednesday on CNN’s “The Lead,” Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) said President Donald Trump’s comments about Somalians were creating a dangerous situation because his followers have “exhibited violence.” Today at the White House, Trump said, “These Somalians have taken billions of dollars out of our country.

And most of those people, they have destroyed Minnesota.” Host Jake Tapper said, “What is the practical impact when a President of the United States demonizes...

Two minute video interview at the link:Wide Awake Media@wideawake_media·Dec 2The Club of Rome's Dennis Meadows hopes the human population can be reduced down to one billion people—an 88% reduction from today’s population—"in a civil way". 🙄"The planet can support something like a billion people, maybe two billion, depending on how much liberty and how much material consumption you want to have.""If you want more liberty, and more consumption, you have to have fewer people.""And conversely, you can have more people. I mean, we could even have eight or nine billion, probably if we have a very strong dictatorship."

In 1985, the iconic Lucille Ball stunned both Hollywood and audiences across America when, after doing three successful comedy series, she took on a serious, dramatic roll playing a homeless woman surviving the streets of New York City. It was a project Lucille Ball wanted to do, and one that she did well, so well, that former homeless people who actually lived on the streets praised the film for its accurate portrayal.
