Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal slammed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement as "madeup, fake, wannabe law enforcement," asserting that ICE's actions violate both "legal law" and "moral law." Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner warned that law enforcement officials who commit crimes in Philadelphia will be arrested and charged. "So I'm with the DA," Bilal declared. "You don't want this smoke. Cuz we will bring it to you," Bilal said. In a dig at President Donald Trump, she warned that "the criminal in the White House would not be able to keep" ICE agents from heading to jail. Fox News Digital reached...

Recent (and not-so-recent) revelations about the massive fraudulent scams that have cost Minnesota at least $9 billion have exploded across the country and have certainly put the buffoonish Gov. Tim Walz and harebrained Minneapolis mayor and pretend-Somali, Jacob Frey, on the defensive. # Both Walz and Frey have obviously been complicit in these multi-billion-dollar schemes to defraud American taxpayers and have most likely benefited financially. # Now we know for sure, as if what we learned from DOGE was not shocking enough, that the American taxpayer has been robbed blind for decades for “causes” that have been fabricated. This has...

Geneva, N.Y. — A member of the Geneva City Council is facing charges in connection to a multi-agency narcotics drug trafficking probe. Ahmad Whitfield, 45, was arrested Wednesday after selling cocaine/fentanyl to another person, according to New York State Police. It came during an investigation in the Geneva area conducted by the NYSP Violent Gangs and Narcotics Enforcement Team, the Geneva Police Department, the Ontario County Sheriff's Office and the Seneca County Sheriff's Office. Whitfield was charged with criminal sale of a controlled substance and two counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance, state police said. He was taken...

Rep Emily Randall (D-WA) said taxpayers should ignore the data alleging fraud and instead focus on investigating US citizens, especially “white men.” As independent journalists and citizen watchdogs continue raising alarms about possible “Minnesota-style” daycare fraud in Washington, the State Auditor’s Office is now finalizing an audit of a $770 million child care subsidy program run by the Department of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF), an audit that began before the recent fraud allegations went viral, that reportedly shows millions of dollars in overpayments. According to KOMO News, the audit includes payments to more than 7,400 child care providers statewide,...

During the COVID pandemic federal legislation was passed to grant forgivable loans to small businesses so they could survive the shutdowns imposed on them by state and local governments. Almost 400 Illinois state employees fraudulently applied for and received $2.8 million of these loans. Additional fraudulent loans were obtained by county and city employees. The US Department of Justice (DOJ) is charging thousands of individuals and so far has seized over $1.4 billion in stolen relief funds. Gov. JB Pritzker (D) blamed Biden Administration officials "for not adequately vetting the loan applications. Our hard-working government employees saw there was money...

A former Drug Enforcement Agency agent was indicted on federal charges of conspiring to traffic drugs and launder millions of dollars for a Mexican cartel. Paul Campo, who was a DEA agent for nearly 25 years, his associate Robert Sensi, are accused in a new indictment unsealed Friday of converting cash into cryptocurrency to buy 220 kilograms of cocaine, worth $5 million, and launder $750,000 in proceeds from drug sales for the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, or CJNG. The State Department designated CJNG as a foreign terrorist organization earlier this year. Prosecutors in the Southern District of New York allege...

n Monday, Nicaragua’s ruling Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) initiated an overhaul of the country’s constitution that will codify the rule of longtime dictator Daniel Ortega and his wife, Rosario Murillo, as “co-presidents.” The reform follows an escalating campaign of persecution against the Catholic Church, the last bastion of opposition against the Ortegas, who nonetheless claim that their regime is a beacon of “Christian socialism.” Days prior, they had celebrated the New Year by expelling all Catholic nuns from the country. Nicaragua’s attacks on the Church and broader descent into tyranny culminates the stunning fall from grace of an erstwhile...

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino officially stepped down from his post on Sunday after serving less than a year in his post with the bureau.

In a Saturday X post on his official FBI deputy director account, Bongino wrote, “It was a busy last day on the job. This will be my last post on this account. Tomorrow I return to...

How many U.S. politicians are on the payroll of Chevron? What exactly is the nature of Chevron’s relationship with Cartel de los Soles, the narco-terrorists who’ve been running Venezuela? What can we now learn about the American traitors who conspired with the cartel & other enemies of the U.S. to steal the 2020 election?

Democrats like crime and fraud, especially when the criminals and fraudsters are from the party's preferred demographic groups. There's no other way to explain it, because Democrats are fighting very hard to protect Somali fraudsters in Minnesota, Washington, and elsewhere while enacting pro-crime, pro-criminal policies like cashless bail and other "criminal justice reform" legislation. In Minnesota, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty has said the investigations and fraud allegations are "far-right propaganda" and vowed prosecutions. In Washington, Attorney General Nick Brown also threatened independent journalists, writing on X, "My office has received outreach from members of the Somali community after reports...

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...

Years before Minnesota welfare fraud captured the nation’s attention, a Somali-American leader of one massive scheme expanded his assets beyond the North Star State, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ). Abdiaziz Shafii Farah, a Somali-born naturalized U.S. citizen, used some of his ill-gotten gains to buy property throughout the Twin Cities and Kentucky before the DOJ prosecuted him for using the nonprofit Feeding Our Future to defraud the government of $300 million in COVID-19 relief meant for hungry children, leading to a 28-year prison sentence in August. There are at least 1,687 people of Somali descent living in Kentucky....

(The Center Square) – Daycare centers that receive hundreds of thousands in taxpayer subsides did not appear to have any children when The Center Square visited the facilities this week and were either openly hostile or told journalists that they were hoping to have children in their care, but did not have an application available or anyone to talk with about enrolling a child. The focus on Washington's taxpayer subsidized daycares comes at the time federal authorities are conducting what they call a "massive" investigation into fraud in Somali-run facilities in Minnesota. According to fiscal.wa.gov, a home-based daycare on 6th...

President Trump’s heralded decision to make DEI DOA couldn’t come a moment too soon for Nicole Parker. The so-called diversity, equity and inclusion initiative was a boondoggle that wrought incalculable damage across every sphere of employment in the country. No one knows that better than Parker, a former FBI special agent of 12 years who described how a civil war brewed inside the once-venerable agency, with “lines drawn” between two clashing factions she termed “FBI 1 versus FBI 2.” One side represents “integrity, meritocracy and protecting the American people” while the other force pushes “personal agendas and identity politics, DEI...

A Somali-run day care in Minneapolis is claiming somebody broke in and stole “important documents,” but cops say the facility didn’t report anything was actually taken. The alleged burglary comes as the national spotlight shines on the unfolding multibillion-dollar fraud scandal involving Minnesota human services, with particular scrutiny on day care facilities run by Somali immigrants after dozens of people from the community have been busted for pilfering state funds. Nasrulah Mohamed, manager of Nakomis Day Care Center, told reporters that a suspect entered through the kitchen at the rear of the facility, damaging a wall and breaking into the...

A shocking undercover video by a citizen journalist has blown the lid off Minnesota's Somali-owned daycares - empty buildings raking in taxpayer funds. But as Donald Trump dispatches federal agents to crackdown on the crisis, there are fears that the fraud might bleed into America's most hallowed system: its elections. Kamala Harris, running alongside Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, won the state in 2024 by just over 138,000 votes, a thin 4.2 percent margin. Lawmakers are now demanding whether permissive voting regulations have left the Land of 10,000 Lakes drowning in election fraud. Minnesota has over the last month emerged as...

Joseph Goebbels said that if you tell a lie that's big enough often enough, people will believe it. Liberal lies are soothing. They create an alternate reality and play into popular prejudices, including hatred of the rich, oil companies and Jews. The big lies of 2025 included:
