My sister saw Gary Cooper in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington as a teenager, so that she became a political junkie.She watched LBJ's "Gulf of Tonkin" speech live on t.v.; she stated that she could tell he was lying because his knuckles were white clutching the podium. History records that it was a false flag operation designed to ensure LJB's election in the 1963 Presidential Campaign, as documented in "Flawed Giant: Lyndon Johnson and His Times, 1961–1973" by Robert Dallek.This strategy was repeated in Operation Cyanide, the false flag attack upon the U.S.S. Liberty which nearly resulted in the nuking...

On January 18, 2026, former CNN anchor Don Lemon entered Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, alongside anti-ICE protesters who deliberately disrupted an ongoing worship service. The group chanted “ICE out” and “Justice for Renee Good,” accusing one of the pastors of ties to immigration enforcement and thereby interrupting the congregation's First Amendment-protected religious exercise. Lemon livestreamed the event, positioning himself within the disruption as it unfolded. Federal authorities subsequently arrested Lemon and three others, charging them with conspiracy against rights under 18 U.S.C. § 241 and interference with the free exercise of religion. Lemon maintains that his presence was...

Democratic Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson admitted Wednesday he was “in regular communication” with other mayors leading so-called “sanctuary cities” in efforts to impede enforcement of federal immigration laws. President Donald Trump called for an end to “sanctuary cities” in a post on Truth Social Monday, following a series of shootings, two of them fatal, that took place in Minneapolis involving Department of Homeland Security personnel engaged in immigration enforcement operations. Johnson said during a press conference at the National Press Club he’d been talking with Democratic Mayors Jacob Frey of Minneapolis and Michelle Wu of Boston about how to combat...

"Minnesota Democrats hate ICE because they're deporting their voters." —Gunther Eagleman on "X". Neville Roy Singham. Isn’t it obvious by now that the seditious mischief roiling Minneapolis is some kind of a demonstration project for a China-backed overthrow of the whole country? This is not hard. And, apparently, the Democratic Party is either a willing accomplice or a hostage in thrall to its captor — like Patty Hearst, the heiress kidnapped and bamboozled by psychotic Maoist maniacs who styled themselves the Symbionese Liberation Army, until she was happily making bombs and robbing banks with them (and ended up in prison)....

It’s Time to Call The Baby Ugly – Someone Needs to Tell President Donald TrumpJanuary 22, 2026 | Sundance As most of you know for several years, I have been on the trail of the intelligence community role in the targeting of President Trump. Part of that research involved locating evidence to show exactly who was inside the intelligence apparatus and what they were doing.Simultaneous to my effort, I notice there has been growing frustration over the fact that none of the participants in the “Spygate” or “Russiagate” construct have been brought to justice.I’m going to explain as best I...

On Monday’s broadcast of WBUR’s “Here and Now,” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said that he wouldn’t protest in a church, and “it doesn’t take place in Minneapolis. What I can say is, in Minneapolis, we’ve had tens of thousands of peaceful people peacefully protesting.” And “If the goal here is peace and order, then there’s a very easy antidote to achieve it, which is for ICE and the troops and anyone else to leave.” He also stated that violent protesters in the city have been punished.Frey said, “I can’t speak for the church protest, and, obviously, it doesn’t take place...

he Biden administration grappled with research suggesting natural immunity was more effective than COVID-19 vaccination shortly before federal vaccine mandates in 2021, admitting the rigor of the massive Israeli study and worrying it might undermine its promotion of one-size-fits-all vaccination, newly released emails show.

You know how the Somali childcare fraud has been a big thing, kind of an open secret in Minnesota for years now? Well, not only has this been happening for at least a decade, but, according to this report, the state has known about it for at least that long. Check out these receipts from Maze on X detailing a nine-year-old investigation into the fraud at Minnesota's Child Care Assistance Program -- an investigation that went nowhere. The Minnesota child care fraud saga is so strange because years ago it was fully investigated, documented, and reported on by a team...

Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) has an unhinged meltdown during a House hearing on Minnesota fraud. Credit: C-SPAN 3 Screenshot. ============================================================= Far-Left Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) became the first Democrat to have a colossal meltdown in the House during a hearing this year after her colleagues and witnesses refused to put up with her garbage about President Trump and J6. As The Gateway Pundit reported, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on Wednesday held its first hearing on the widespread fraud in Minnesota’s social services programs. At least $9 BILLION has been stolen from Minnesota taxpayers under the watch...

The founder of an infamous Minnesota-based nonprofit convicted of hatching a $250 million welfare fraud scheme was ordered by a judge last week to forfeit her Porsche, designer handbags and millions of dollars in ill-gotten gains. Aimee Bock, the 44-year-old mastermind behind the Feeding our Future scandal, was found guilty in March on federal charges of wire fraud, bribery and conspiracy in connection to the nation’s largest COVID-19 fraud scheme. Bock, who along with dozens of predominantly Somali co-conspirators pilfered pandemic relief funds from a federal program meant to feed hungry children in need, is awaiting sentencing for her lead...

Minnesota Democrats more focused on photo ops than accountability for billions vanishing in massive statewide fraud schemes. Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan serves as the unwitting mascot for civic leaders. Her priority? She is more focused on photo ops than accountability for billions vanishing in massive statewide fraud schemes. She is known for her fashion stunts, which have become her personal optic of choice. This time, she recently wore a black hijab -- the safest Muslim color -- as a gesture she framed as “solidarity” with the Somali community being accused of the massive fraud. Solidarity can be charming,...

After the latest wave of exposes made Somali fraud, Democrat state officials from Minnesota to Washington to Maine scrambled to conduct cover-ups and threaten anyone exposing the fraud. The head of Seattle’s Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs, Hamdi Mohamed, “the first Somali woman elected in the state”, convened a meeting with Gov. Bob Ferguson, representatives of Attorney General Nick Brown, Seattle City Attorney Erika Evans, as well as other elected officials, who promised to protect Somalis from investigations and enforcement. Mayor-Elect Katie Wilson, a radical leftist, declared that she stands “in solidarity with our Somali and Muslim communities” who...

Minnesota child care centers at the center of widespread fraud allegations fueled by a viral video were operating as expected when visited by investigators, the state Department of Children, Youth, and Families said in a news release Friday. “Children were present at all sites except for one – that site, was not yet open for families for the day when inspectors arrived,” the agency said. The agency gathered evidence and initiated further review, noting the investigation into four centers was ongoing, the report stated. The report comes days after YouTube content creator Nick Shirley, who has created anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim...

The U.S. military carried out a "large-scale strike" on Venezuela Saturday morning, capturing the nation's dictatorial leader, Nicolás Maduro, who will face sweeping criminal charges on U.S. soil, according to an unsealed indictment released by Attorney General Pam Bondi. Maduro, who was elected in 2013 and served as Hugo Chavez's vice president, is facing charges of narco-terrorism conspiracy, cocaine importation conspiracy, possession of machine guns and destructive devices, and conspiracy to possess machine guns and destructive devices against the U.S. "It's just it was an amazing thing, the amazing job that these people did. There's nobody else could have done...

Newly uncovered photos and online accounts purportedly associated with the Wisconsin teen school shooter suggest a deeply disturbing obsession with other school shooters such as Columbine killer Eric Harris — and even show her wearing a t-shirt of his favorite band. A now-eerie snapshot of Natalie “Samantha” Rupnow, 15, was posted on her father’s Facebook page and shows her aiming a rifle at a shooting range wearing a shirt from the German industrial rock band KMFDM. Harris was seen in photos also wearing one of the band’s T-shirts before he and Dylan Klebold went on to murder 13 people in...

House Republican Majority Whip Tom Emmer of Minnesota accused the state’s Democratic Governor Tim Walz and leftist Attorney General Keith Ellison of covering up massive fraud committed by Somali immigrants so that they could retain that community’s vote in future elections. In an interview with The Daily Wire’s “Morning Wire” on Wednesday, Emmer said that the best way to address rampant fraud in Minnesota would be to remove Walz, Ellison, and Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar from office. He argued that under Walz, the state government would continue to cover up fraud, a large percentage of which is allegedly committed by...

Over the past few years, Minnesota has become ground zero for what federal prosecutors now call “industrial-scale” fraud targeting taxpayer-funded social programs. What began as a single high-profile case exploiting COVID-era child nutrition funds has snowballed into revelations of potentially **$9 billion or more** stolen across multiple programs—mostly Medicaid-funded services. The schemes share common threads: shell entities, fake billing for services never provided, kickbacks, and luxury spending or transfers abroad. Here’s a clear, chronological breakdown of how it started, how it grew, and where things stand today. The Spark: Feeding Our Future and Aimee BockThe scandal traces its public origins...

The Candace Owens drama is still ongoing, but every month it seems like more people finally get tired of her nonsense. A couple weeks ago I pointed out that Matt Walsh had finally asked Owens to stop and made the case for Tyler Robinson being the shooter.But yesterday, one of Owen's biggest online supporters finally called it a day. His name is Evan Kilgore and as recently as a couple weeks ago, his X account looked like this:BREAKING:Candace Owens reveals the "Egyptian planes" have been turning off their transponders and flying in and out of Israel.She says she still believes...
