So far, Amy Klobuchar has not been associated directly with the Feeding Our Future, daycare, autism, and other Somali-led frauds that have taken down Tim Walz. But then again, the scandal has not obviously damaged Attorney General Keith Ellison, or any of the many other Minnesota Democrats who have had ties as close or closer to the fraud as Tim Walz. Our Pravda Media has, until recently, been so incurious about the fraud that has eaten half of Minnesota's Medicaid budget that only Walz has been tarred by the scandal. But 2026 is an election year, and the smart money...

A Morris man has been arrested and charged with murder for shooting and killing another man from Morris. 58-year-old David Hand shot and killed 71-year-old Lynn Barton on November 7, 2025.

Hilton Corporate has finally taken action against the despicable ‘independent’ Hilton hotel in Minneapolis that banned ICE and DHS agents, thanks to the dogged efforts of independent conservative journalist Nick Sortor. As The Gateway Pundit reported, the Department of Homeland Security’s X account shared a disturbing email on Monday showing that Hilton Hotels had abruptly cancelled reservations for DHS officers in Minneapolis for daring to round up dangerous illegal aliens. The specific Hilton hotel in question is the Hampton Inn Lakeville property. “After further investigation online, we have found information about immigration work connected to your name, and we will...

For over two decades, Venezuela has served as a critical outpost for Hezbollah in the Western Hemisphere, with reports detailing the group's entrenchment on Margarita Island and ties to the former regimes of Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro. U.S. intelligence assessments and media investigations describe this presence as evolving from fundraising networks among the Lebanese diaspora in the 1980s to sophisticated operations involving training, smuggling, and financial schemes by the 2000s. Margarita Island, once a bustling tourist spot, has been highlighted as a primary hub, surpassing even the Tri-Border Area in Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay for Hezbollah's regional activities. Training...

European leaders on Tuesday issued a joint statement to push back against U.S. President Donald Trump’s renewed interest in Greenland, saying security in the Arctic must be achieved collectively. “The Kingdom of Denmark – including Greenland – is part of NATO,” the statement said, according to a letter published by Denmark’s Prime Minister’s Office on X. “Security in the Arctic must therefore be achieved collectively, in conjunction with NATO allies including the United States, by upholding the principles of the UN Charter, including sovereignty, territorial integrity and the inviolability of borders. These are universal principles, and we will not stop...

Daily Readings from the USCCBBy now it was already late and his disciples approached him and said, “This is a deserted place and it is already very late. Dismiss them so that they can go to the surrounding farms and villages and buy themselves something to eat.” Mark 6:35–36It is wise to be practical, realistic, and pragmatic. But when it comes to Christ and our call to participate in His divine mission, pragmatism can sometimes be a hindrance. Today’s Gospel illustrates this truth powerfully. The passage begins by showing the compassionate heart of Christ, who looked out upon the vast...

She wrote in August 2019: 'Private property, including and kind of especially homeownership, is a weapon of white supremacy masquerading as "wealth building" public policy.' Two years prior, she claimed that America 'built wealth for white people through genocide, slavery, stolen land and labor.' She also encouraged voters to 'elect more communists,' just months after she called for the endorsement of a 'no more white men in office platform.'

One day after Minnesota Democrat Gov. Tim Walz announced he will not seek reelection amid fraud allegations, President Donald Trump on Tuesday set his sights on California and Gov. Gavin Newsom. In a Truth Social post, Trump wrote that California, led by Newsom, is "more corrupt than Minnesota," adding that a "Fraud Investigation of California has begun." Trump's message followed days of intensifying scrutiny on alleged abuse of public programs in Minnesota, and his broader argument that Democrat-led states have grown comfortable with waste, fraud, and political favoritism. "California, under Governor Gavin Newscum, is more corrupt than Minnesota, if that's...

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Sunday that Venezuelans in the U.S. who were previously under temporary protective status (TPS) can apply for asylum. “Every individual that was under TPS has the opportunity to apply for refugee status and that evaluation will go forward,” Noem told host Gillian Turner on “Fox News Sunday.” Noem ended TPS earlier this year for roughly 600,000 Venezuelan migrants who received protected status from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under the Biden administration.

In the final weeks of the 2020 presidential election, bumbling Joe Biden was struggling. He was unpopular, uninspiring, and clearly not firing on all cylinders. Then the Hunter Biden laptop from hell made an appearance, and suddenly the election was at real risk of slipping out of his shaky hands. The laptop wasn’t rumor or speculation. It was real and verifiable, and it contained information that any sane voter would want to know before casting a ballot for president. But the Deep State wagons started circling right away. Americans were immediately told not to trust their lying eyes. The story...

Near the equator, the Sun hurries below the horizon in a matter of minutes. Darkness seeps from the surrounding forest. Nearly 10,000 years ago, at the base of a mountain in Africa, people’s shadows stretch up the wall of a natural overhang of stone. They’re lit by a ferocious fire that’s been burning for hours, visible even to people miles away. The wind carries the smell of burning. This fire will linger in community memory for generations − and in the archaeological record for far longer. We are a team of bioarchaeologists, archaeologists and forensic anthropologists who, with our colleagues,...
