Work continues apace toward the goal of gestating babies outside a woman’s body. Scientists have now implanted human embryos in “organoids” made of tissues that mimic the uterine lining. From, “Researchers are Getting Organoids Pregnant,” published in the MIT Technology Review: In three papers published this week by Cell Press, scientists are reporting what they call the most accurate efforts yet to mimic the first moments of pregnancy in the lab. They’ve taken human embryos from IVF centers and let these merge with “organoids” made of endometrial cells, which form the lining of the uterus. The reports—two from China and...

As we discover Somalians ripping us off for billions… What % of the population pays % of Federal Income Taxes? White: 59% pays 70%-75% Hispanic: 19% pays 10%-12% Black: 13% pays 6%-8% Asian: 6% pays 8%-10% Other: 3% pays 4%-6% This the “white privilege” the Left cries about?

Kickbacks to parents involved in alleged daycare and autism center fraud schemes have been a feature in the wave of scandal that has been taking place in the Somali community of Minnesota. Both allegations as well as criminal charges have highlighted the tactic being used by the alleged fraudsters. Unearthed videos from a 2018 fraud case in Minnesota show parents as well as daycare providers taking part in a daycare fraud scheme going back to 2015. In the video, a man is shown handing an envelope to parents with alleged kickback cash for their participation in the fraud at a...

New legislation would require schools to teach students about the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. According to the New York State Senate, the legislation will amend the Education Law to include instruction about the Jan. 6 insurrection as part of the state’s required courses regarding patriotism, citizenship, civic education and values, shared history of diversity, religious tolerance and human rights issues. The legislation, proposed by John C. Liu from New York’s 16th Senate District, is currently in the Senate’s Education Committee. If passed and signed into law, the amendment would take effect in July.

More than 20 public middle and high schools in Seattle are facing scrutiny after reports that students were asked questions about gender identity and sexual orientation through a districtwide survey, without parents being informed of the survey’s content or how the responses would be used. According to National Review, the survey, known as the state’s “Check Yourself Survey,” is administered in every Seattle middle school and high school and includes questions that students as young as 10 years old are required to answer. The prompts reportedly touch on sensitive topics ranging from sexual attraction and gender identity to mental health...

Star New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who's played a key role in the meteoric rise of Pro Bowl quarterback Drake Maye, was accused of felony strangulation, Massachusetts court records revealed on Tuesday. Diggs, 32, also faces a misdemeanor assault charge, stemming from an alleged incident that happened on Dec. 2, Dedham District Court records showed. That would have been a day after New England beat the New York Giants, 33-15, on "Monday Night Football." He's set to be arraigned on Jan. 23, which would be two days ahead of the AFC championship game, according to court records. "The...

Somalis are living in mansions with nice cars while Americans struggle to afford our mortgages and Republicans responded on Monday by writing strongly-worded tweets. The White House must have realized that people were ready to riot, because Kristi Noem's team took a minute off their paid government Christmas vacation to let us know that a few agents (and a cameraman or two) are on the case: Homeland Security Investigations @ICEGov are on the ground in Minneapolis right now conducting a massive investigation on childcare and other rampant fraud. More coming. pic.twitter.com/wmQ1x0t4Sc— Kristi Noem (@KristiNoem) December 29, 2025🚨 BREAKING: MORE Somali...

Although it's undeniably true that Minnesota has a large and proud Somalian community, there are some who have suggested that community is operating in Minnesota in a sinister way. One particular bugaboo for Conservative critics of the Somali community in Minnesota, and the state's embrace of those immigrants, has to do with the changing of the Minnesota state flag. The state adopted a new state flag in 2024, and some think that state flag resembles the state flag of Somalia. Now, many want to know whether that's actually the case. Here's what we know. The new Minnesota flag vs. the...

VIDEOLiberals are having a tough time grappling with the VAST fraud exposed by Nick Shirley in Minnesota. A lot of brain dead moments here but my favorite brain dead moment was when the liberal claimed that "HUGE" prosecutions on the Minnesota fraud had already been done by Merrick Garland. However, PAID DNC troll Harry J. Sisson gave that brain dead liberal strong competition in the brain dead department.

LAVERGNE, Tenn. (WTVF) — After the explosive sex scandal inside the La Vergne police department in 2023, the city agreed to pay former police officer Maegan Hall $500,000. La Vergne city leaders voted 3 to 1 during a special meeting Wednesday night. The half-a-million dollar settlement, which includes no admission of guilt on the city's behalf, settles Hall's lawsuit against the city and three of her former superiors. The La Vergne Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted tonight to authorize the mayor to sign a settlement agreement between the City of La Vergne and former police officer Maegan Hall. The...

MINNEAPOLIS, MN — Local factory worker Hector Flintstock has been working hard, following the law, saving money, and paying taxes for 50 years, and is finally able to achieve his lifelong retirement dream of funding a fraudulent Somali daycare center. "Yessir, I've been workin' my tail off my whole life. I reckon I've sent about 2 million of my hard-earned dollars to the government," said Flintstock with a satisfied smile. "Today, I just learned that's enough to fund a fake daycare run by Somali scammers for about 10 months. I've been dreaming of this my whole life. I couldn't be...

BREAKING: I’m calling for the denaturalization and deportation of every Somali engaged in fraud in Minnesota. Read my full statement below: “I have three words regarding Somalis who have committed fraud against American taxpayers: Send them home. If they’re here illegally, deport them immediately; if they’re naturalized citizens, revoke their citizenship and deport them quickly thereafter. If we need to change the law to do that, I will. Our nation will not tolerate those who take advantage of our charity and refuse to assimilate into our culture. Additionally, if any naturalized Somalis had undisclosed ties to terrorist organizations like Al-Shabaab,...

Daily Readings from the USCCBThere was a prophetess, Anna… She never left the temple, but worshiped night and day with fasting and prayer. And coming forward at that very time, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were awaiting the redemption of Jerusalem. Luke 2:36–38Like Simeon, Anna was among those “awaiting the redemption of Jerusalem.” She belonged to the faithful remnant of Israel who believed in the prophecies, understood the Messiah’s spiritual and salvific role, and awaited His coming with great hope. Because Anna “never left the temple, but worshiped night and day with...

The United States has declared it is ready to take part in postwar security guarantees for Ukraine, including the possible deployment of American troops once a peace deal with Russia is reached, Donald Tusk, Poland’s prime minister, has said.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy did not confirm Tusk’s comments, telling journalists on Tuesday: “These are the troops of the United States, and only the U.S. makes such decisions.”

If the Somali fraudsters produced a Netflix special, the title would be “C.R.E.A.M.: Cash Rules Everything Around Minnesota.” And the center of this fraudulent universe might very well be Ilhan Omar. Once a woman with negative net worth is now listed as a multimillionaire in Congress. How coincidental that this multi‑billion‑dollar fraud scandal detonated in her own district. Back in 2019, Omar’s financial disclosure looked like the starter pack of a millennial fresh outta college: more debt than dollars. Fast forward to 2024, and her household reports a combined net worth between $6 million and $30 million — a 3,500...

The NASCAR champion was solid, if not overly spectacular, over the first two nights of the three-night contest. He came alive when it mattered, though, with a late charge to deny local hero Dayne Kingshott and form man Michael "Buddy" Kofoid for the $110,000 bounty on Tuesday night. It was Kingshott that led the very early running ahead of Kofoid with Larson settling into third. That was until a lap 6 caution, the restart from which saw Kofoid bolt into the lead. At the same time Larson was shuffled back to fourth by Jock Goodyer, where he would stay until...

The 2026 midterms are coming, and Republicans have work to do if they want to hold Congress. Yet the nation’s MAGA minds are still looking back at 2020 and stretching to justify President Trump’s delusion of a stolen election. The latest involves the embarrassing news that Fulton County, Ga., failed to have its poll workers sign many of the tabulator tapes for early voting. “I have not seen the tapes myself, but we do not dispute that the tapes were not signed,” an attorney for Fulton County told the Georgia State Election Board during a December hearing. “It was a...

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Wis.) called for the deportation of all Somalis linked to fraud in Minnesota, amid heightened scrutiny of the state’s handling of the illegal activity. In a post on the social platform X, Emmer said even naturalized citizens should have their citizenship revoked so they can be deported. The lawmaker added that he is willing to pass legislation to make such a move legal. “I have three words regarding Somalis who have committed fraud against American taxpayers: Send them home. If they’re here illegally, deport them immediately; if they’re naturalized citizens, revoke their citizenship and deport...

Infants vaccinated in their second month of life were more likely to die in their third month than unvaccinated infants, according to an analysis of data obtained from the Louisiana Department of Health. Children’s Health Defense scientists Brian Hooker, Ph.D., and Karl Jablonowski, Ph.D., who conducted the analysis, called on health authorities to make similar datasets available for independent analysis, arguing that transparency is essential for evaluating vaccine safety at the population level. ================================================================ Infants vaccinated in their second month of life were more likely to die in their third month than unvaccinated infants, according to an analysis of data...

They're ready to embark on 2026. Three more dog breeds joined the American Kennel Club's roster of recognized breeds on Tuesday, making them eligible for many U.S. dog shows and likely increasing their visibility to the pet-loving public. One of the newcomers is a terrier named for a U.S. president. Another is a toy dog from Cold War-era Russia. The third is a centuries-old French hunting hound. Here's a closer look: The basset fauve de Bretagne The stats: 12.5 to 15.5 inches (32 to 40 centimeters) at the base of the neck; 23 to 39 pounds (10.5 to 17.5 kilograms)...
