The Federal Reserve CONFIRMS: The U.S. Congress has built the single largest racket empire on the planet: U.S. NGOs have combined assets totaling $14.2 trillion of your tax money. “India’s and Japan’s GDPs are each just over $4 trillion, Germany’s is $5 trillion, and together they total about $13.5 trillion. Guess what? The combined assets of U.S. NGOs equal $14.2 trillion of your tax money—and that of your children, grandchildren, and great-great-great-great-grandchildren.” In other words, the root of all corruption—the racket—is the U.S....

California Assemblyman Dr. Corey Jackson (D-Moreno Valley), who received his Masters in Social Work, founded and directs the nonprofit Center Against Racism and Trauma (CART), which has been tax-exempt since February 2022. “California quietly boosted taxpayer funding for a nonprofit founded by a sitting Assemblyman from $250,000 to $6 MILLION—a 2,300% increase. Its latest IRS return reports zero employees, zero volunteers and only $57,667 in annual expenses,” White House Correspondent and War Room co-host Natalie Winters claimed Thursday on X

Radical pro-abortion California is continuing its tirade against the lives of preborn and born children alike with three new bills that horrify the average American voter. As California reaches the end of its legislative session, abortion extremists are going to push these bills through as quickly as possible — but Students for Life Action (SFLAction) won’t let them do it without a fight. Here are the deadly bills California state legislators introduced: AB 1930 — “Abortion or gender-affirming health care services: investigations, subpoenas, or summons” Introduced by Democrat Assemblymember Rick Chavez Zbur, along with Democrat Assemblymembers John Harabedian, Nick Schultz,...

Gov. Gavin Newsom refused to take a position on a raging debate over standardized testing in University of California admissions — dismissing as “anecdotes” the alarming reports from college professors about students who can’t do basic math. The governor was asked at a Wednesday press conference in Hayward about an open letter from more than 1,200 UC professors, including Nobel prize winners and leading scientists, who warned of a “severe” crisis of incoming freshman who are unable to even do fractions, forcing educators to dumb down Calculus and other advanced courses. “Show me the data,” Newsom said. “I have feelings...

Salman Elmi was awarded “Outstanding Refugee” by Minnesota. He was just charged for a $1 million Medicaid fraud scheme. The award was given by the Minnesota Department of Human Services, which ironically administers Medicaid payments. Today, a DHS spokesperson sent me this statement: “Salman Elmi’s alleged actions are disturbing and do not reflect the goal of the Outstanding Refugee Awards. They also do not represent Minnesota’s refugee community. We are surrounded by neighbors, coworkers, employees and friends, with powerful stories of resilience in the face of difficult circumstances, who are showing leadership in small as well as large ways to...

A Somali refugee turned St. Cloud businessman whose childcare center has racked up years of state licensing violations is now one step closer to the Minnesota Legislature. Abdi Daisane won last week’s Democratic primary with 62.5% of the vote, advancing to the November general election against Republican Mike Conway in House District 14A. Daisane, who was born in Somalia and spent time in a Kenyan refugee camp before entering the United States, has owned Blooming Kids Child Care Center in St. Cloud since 2017. Alpha News first reported on the center’s history of violations in July 2024, when Daisane was...

Democratic Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is facing scrutiny after an online ad revealed that campaign contributions from supporters of her re-election bid would be matched by taxpayer dollars.

"A short term social experiment" Polls were always a debatable proposition, but lately, like everything in politics, they’ve gotten worse. The Dem primary polls promising big wins by Hong and El-Sayed in Wisconsin and Michigan were, as the actual races showed, exercises in voter suppression. Now the company behind at least one of them got caught and is admitting to having put out a fake poll. Pollsters had been caught before, but the company made the mistake was putting out a poll showing a wide lead for the less socialist candidate in the LA race. Had the poll promised a...

A poll released earlier this month claiming Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass had a wide lead over Los Angeles City Council member Nithya Raman in the city’s mayoral race was bogus, according to the company that released it. Median Strategies on Monday said in its announcement about the mayoral race poll that it has stopped its polling project. Its poll showed Bass ahead by nearly 12 points, citing the response of 560 Angelenos and with a 4.1 percent margin of error. “Median Strategies has concluded its polling project and will not publish additional polls,” the company’s website states. “All previously...

One of New Yorks’ most notorious pimps was finally caged at the end of July, sentenced to 50 years on charges of human trafficking and ordering the murder of a rival. The trial of Omari “Prince” Scott, 45, opened a window into the seedy world of the “Penn Track” in East New York, Brooklyn, where he ran multiple women. Despite Scott’s conviction, sex workers tell The Post business around Pennsylvania Avenue — also known as “the Blade” — continues as brazenly as usual, with tens of women on the streets selling sex for as little as $85 a time and...

Eric Swalwell confessed to a prescription drug-fueled sex romp with a suspected Chinese spy, according to newly released FBI files that confirm for the first time the disgraced former congressman got physical with Beijing’s purported honeypot.

The lavish lifestyle of one of California’s highest-paid nonprofit CEOs has been exposed as whistleblowers claim staff were pressured to funnel vulnerable addicts into taxpayer-funded rehabs to boost his own profits.

The organization offers medical detox, residential treatment, mental healthcare and recovery programs, with the work subsidized by California and Los Angeles taxpayers. The Post spotted Senella last week at his sprawling six-bedroom, eight-bathroom Simi Valley home, which is...

The newly declassified investigation files also show that the FBI had initially tried to recruit the infamous Fang Fang as a source that could share information on Chinese influence operations targeting public officials in the United States. ========================================================================= The FBI developed evidence that a Chinese woman with direct ties to that country’s intelligence service had potentially compromised a Democratic congressman from California with sex, foreign interns and illicit donations while she was being recruited to become a bureau informant a decade ago, according to bombshell memos that expose another threat to America’s political system from Beijing. The files chronicling the...
