The Washington state attorney general released a statement on X Tuesday evening warning independent journalists to stop investigating fraudulent Somali daycare centers or they could be charged with a hate crime. “My office has received outreach from members of the Somali community after reports of home-based daycare providers being harassed and accused of fraud with little to no fact-checking,” State AG Nick Brown stated. “We are in touch with the state Department of Children, Youth, and Families regarding the claims being pushed online and the harassment reported by daycare providers. Showing up on someone’s porch, threatening, or harassing them isn’t...

President Donald Trump railed against alleged social services fraud in Minnesota during remarks at his New Year’s Eve celebration at Mar-a-Lago on Wednesday. "Can you imagine they stole $18 billion," Trump said. "That's just what we're learning about. That's peanuts. And California is worse, Illinois is worse and sadly New York is worse." Trump continued, "We're going to get to the bottom of all those. It was a giant scam."

The Trump administration has ended the lease agreement for three public golf courses in Washington, a move that offers President Donald Trump an additional opportunity to put his stamp on another piece of the nation’s capital. The National Links Trust, the nonprofit that has operated Washington’s three public courses on federal land for the last five years, said Wednesday that the Department of the Interior had terminated its 50-year lease agreement. The Interior Department said it was terminating the lease because the nonprofit had not implemented required capital improvements and failed to meet the terms of the lease. While it...

“Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, to the saints who are at Ephesus, and who are faithful in Christ Jesus” (Eph. 1:1). God is more interested in your faithfulness than He is in your accomplishments. Our society is success oriented. We love success stories. We even have television programs that exalt the lifestyles of the rich and famous. But God's standard for success is quite different. Unimpressed by our status or wealth, He looks instead for faithfulness to His will. Paul understood that principle and diligently pursued his calling as an apostle—one of those unique...

Around 40 revelers were killed and another 100 injured, most of them seriously, after an explosion ripped through a packed bar in a Swiss Alps resort town during a New Year’s celebration, officials said. The deadly blaze erupted around 1:30 a.m. at the Le Constellation bar in the ritzy ski resort town of Crans-Montana in the Valais Canton. While the cause of the fire remains unclear, it appears to have been an accident. Witnesses believe the explosion was triggered by sparklers being held too close to the ceiling, which set the roof on fire, according to reports. “At the moment...

What does the future hold? Let’s turn back the clock to the end of a year over a century ago. Posting this article has become an annual tradition ever since the grim end of 2012. It’s a reminder that the end of each year ushers in unknowns, but also opportunities for heroism. History does not stand still, and we should never assume that we know how it will come out. The next year sweeps around the earth like the hand of a clock, from Australia to Europe and across the great stretch of the Atlantic it rides the darkness to...

As grand jury investigations begin, the alleged wrongdoers may find that a criminal court finds them guilty as charged. American Thinker readers are familiar with the criminal conspiracy or coup to unseat a duly elected president. John Solomon of Just the News just let the cat out of the bag with his breaking interview about ...a “slam dunk” conspiracy case to prosecute former federal agents and prosecutors for election meddling for relentlessly pursuing Donald Trump for political purposes... Solomon has validated my investigative reporting since 2019. I contend that the acts of the Democratic Party, Deep State, New World Order/WEF...

On June 23, 2022, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) issued a decision in N.Y. State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n v. Bruen. Prior to the Bruen decision, Courts of Appeal in Progressive-dominated Circuits, such as the Ninth and Second circuits, had refused to honor Second Amendment precedent established in the Heller and McDonald decisions. Bruen admonished the lower courts for creating a procedure to treat the Second Amendment as a second-class right. Bruen created a simple test to determine if a statute was allowed by the Second Amendment. The Bruen case clarified that “bear” in the “right to...

A deep dive into the ancient, go-to idea that God uses Islam to punish those who go astray:

Andy Cohen unleashed a wild rant about outgoing New York City Mayor Eric Adams that left Anderson Cooper visibly cringing live on CNN. Cohen and Cooper, who have been co-hosting CNN's New Year's Eve special for the past nine years, were putting away drinks for hours and bantering live during the network's coverage of the celebrations in New York City. Soon after the ball dropped in Times Square, Cohen, with a drink in his hand, said: 'Watching the final moments of Mayor Adams's chaotic...' Before he could finish his thought, Cooper interrupted and said: 'Oh no. I'm out.' Cohen continued,...

CitiBike is jacking up prices for the straight fifth year and partly blaming tariffs — demanding 41% higher membership rates and at least 240% more from casual cyclists since the program began in 2019.“This adjustment is necessary to manage increased operational expenses, including the impact of rising tariffs,” Citi Bike wrote in a statement.

NEW: Somali woman says that people who don't "wash their a$$" shouldn't be allowed to comment on Somali fraud. "At least we wash our a$$ after we take a sh*t. That's really just what it's all about. It's really what it comes down to at the end of the day." Checkmate, bigots.

Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud claimed in an interview with Al Jazeera on Wednesday that he has intelligence indicating Somaliland agreed to accept displaced Gazans in exchange for Israeli recognition. According to the president, intelligence sources also suggest that Somaliland has agreed to allow the establishment of an Israeli military base on its territory and to join the Abraham Accords, the normalization agreements between Israel and Arab states. He added that there had already been “some Israeli presence” in Somaliland in the past. Mohamud argued that Israel’s recognition of Somaliland was intended to destabilize Somalia and the region. He noted...

I Wasted My Whole Life. Everything I did was only for myself, because I thought I was a "good" person. I didn't do it for the love of God or to give Him glory. I went out to something called an ecumenical "pro-life" gathering. I couldn't say that the people at my church were particularly there for the love of God or to give Him glory. I noticed that our pro-life brethren of other faiths were actively hostile; they wouldn't smile, or even respond when spoken to. It was in Maidu Park (Native American grinding rocks). We "pro-lifers" each originally...

Chinese oil tankers are pressing ahead with Venezuela-linked voyages despite a U.S. blockade and an escalating campaign of tanker seizures.

President Donald Trump is tightening maritime enforcement to choke off oil revenues to Caracas, which has in...
