MINNEAPOLIS (KMSP) - For five months, Fox 9 has been investigating what appears to be rampant fraud in a massive state program. This fraud is suspected of costing Minnesota taxpayers as much as $100 million a year.

Democratic Rep. Angie Craig could be seen laying into Republican Whip Tom Emmer, a fellow Minnesotan, on the House floor on Wednesday in the wake of the shooting of a Minneapolis woman who could be seen driving her car into an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent. A clip of the verbal altercation between the two lawmakers shows it lasted approximately 40 seconds. During the exchange, Craig repeatedly put her finger in Emmer’s face, while he yelled back at her. Eventually, other lawmakers stepped between them, and Democratic Rep. Betty McCollum of Minnesota pulled Craig away. “Craig told Emmer — who...

The second Georgia state House member accused of fabricating claims to collect federal unemployment benefits during the pandemic has announced her retirement. Karen Bennett of Stone Mountain, located roughly 20 miles from Atlanta, is facing one count of making false statements to collect $13,940 as of Monday. During an initial court appearance, Bennett opted to waive indictment and was released on $10,000 bail after pleading not guilty to the charge. In federal court, the decision to waive indictment often precedes a guilty plea. On Thursday, Bennett, a Democrat, resigned from the position she has held since 2012 representing portions of...

Conservative backlash to an earmark for a Somali-led organization in Rep. Ilhan Omar’s district is creating a speed bump for a package of three funding bills, delaying the package’s advancement. Tucked into a funding “minibus” funding several departments and agencies, the requested community project funding would give $1,031,000 to the Somali-led organization Generation Hope’s “Justice Empowerment Initiative.” The earmark had also been backed by Sens. Tina Smith (D-Minn.) and Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.). Conservative opposition to the Omar earmark held up the package’s advancement in the Rules panel overnight as conservatives and GOP leaders hashed out a solution. The House Rules...

Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s newly instated radical-left tenant advocate, Cea Weaver, broke down Wednesday as she dodged questions from reporters about her gentrification hypocrisy. The 37-year-old, who has faced backlash for blasting homeownership as a “weapon of white supremacy” in the past, teared up when she emerged briefly from her apartment building in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, at about 9 a.m. Weaver, who was tapped by Mamdani to be his new director of the city Office to Protect Tenants, quickly ran back inside after she was asked about the $1.6 million home her mother owns in Nashville, Tennessee.

Antifa operates with near impunity, coordinating violence and intimidation through anarchist cells, NGOs, universities, and unions nationwide. Rufo & Lomez interview Kyle Schideler, Domestic Security Expert.

Blue Zone political culture is empty. There’s nothing in it. They don’t make anything, they don’t do anything, they aren’t trying to do anything. Let’s bracket a great piece of journalism with more details and some context. By now, I assume most readers here have seen the magnificent work of the independent journalist Nick Shirley in Minnesota, showing widespread Somali fraud in government-funded programs by simply walking up to the front doors of daycare centers and healthcare organizations and inquiring about their services. Daycare centers with millions of dollars in government funding and no children inside, and neighbors who say...

The Democratic National Committee is killing its autopsy of the 2024 election. Ken Martin, the chairman of the D.N.C., said on Thursday that he had decided not to publish a report that he ordered months ago into what went wrong for the Democratic Party last year. Party officials have conducted more than 300 interviews with Democrats in all 50 states to create a document that Mr. Martin had once pitched as crucial to charting a path forward. Mr. Martin will instead keep the findings under seal. He believes that looking back so publicly and painfully at the past would prove...

Minnesota is still reeling from the biggest fraud scandal in its history. A sprawling, stunning, almost unbelievable heist of federal money intended to feed hungry children during the pandemic. And at the center of the storm sits Aimee Bock – former schoolteacher, mom-of-two, and the woman federal prosecutors branded the mastermind of a $300million meals-for-kids scam. Bock is already convicted. She's already behind bars. And she's facing a sentence that could lock her away for most of the rest of her life. But her lawyer, Kenneth Udoibok, says she is nothing more than a scapegoat – the fall-girl for a...

A group of over 400 Minnesota Department of Human Services employees has turned the spotlight on Governor Tim Walz, charging that his administration turned a blind eye to rampant fraud draining the state’s coffers. In a blunt statement on X, the workers declared, “We let Tim Walz know of fraud early on, hoping for a partnership in stopping fraud but no, we got the opposite response. Tim Walz systematically retaliated against whistleblowers using monitoring, threats, repression, and did his best to discredit fraud reports.” Tim Walz is 100% responsible for massive fraud in Minnesota. We let Tim Walz know of...

Far-left Democratic Representative Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick might soon be expelled from Congress if House Republicans get their way. The reason: A federal grand jury has indicted her and other defendants, including her brother, for purloining $5 million from the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) and using it for contributions to her 2021 congressional campaign. The indictment isn’t Cherfilus-McCormick’s first brush with federal law. In April, she was the target of a complaint to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) for myriad shenanigans with campaign funds and contributions. The indictment and the FEC complaint are cited in the expulsion resolution from GOP Representative...

Michael English, a Democratic candidate running for mayor of Providence, is addressing renewed attention on a criminal record that includes child molestation convictions from the late 1990s. English has referred to the actions that led to his convictions as “immature decisions” that resulted in a “period of incarceration.” According to the Providence Journal, English was 26 when he engaged in a relationship with a 13-year-old. The outlet reported that after serving a little over a year in prison, English attempted to contact the victim again in 2009. The Providence Journal reviewed court documents related to the case, as English’s file...

A Democrat running for mayor in Rhode Island is indignant at the suggestion that his child molestation record should impact voters’ view of him. The scary part is that there are enough Democrats who glorify sexual perversion and the grooming of children that some voters will probably agree with him. Michael English, who hopes to be elected mayor of Providence next year, has referred to “immature decisions” that led to a “period of incarceration.” According to the Providence Journal, the history behind that vague comment is that, as a 26-year-old, English had a relationship with a 13-year-old. After being released...

Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick is facing up to 53 years in prison if convicted. “Using disaster relief funds for self-enrichment is a particularly selfish, cynical crime,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “No one is above the law, least of all powerful people who rob taxpayers for personal gain. We will...

Kathy Hochul (D), who has been accused of being a covert Chinese agent, allegedly forged Hochul's signature on flattering letters inviting dignitaries from China's Henan province to meet with then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo in 2018. Prosecutors showed court documents to jurors at Linda Sun's trial, revealing that she may have forged Hochul's signature on several letters — when she served as Cuomo's Lt.
