At least three homeless New Yorkers were found dead in freezing temperatures Saturday morning after Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul rebuffed a federal assistance offer from the Trump administration. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem reached out to New York ahead of the major winter storm sweeping the country. Hochul responded on X by demanding immigration enforcement changes as a condition for accepting help. “Secretary Noem offered assistance to New York ahead of the impending snowstorm,” Hochul wrote on X. “I shared that the fastest way to help is for ICE to back off so people feel safe accessing warming centers, shelters,...

In this video, we break down the growing questions surrounding Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and the documented connections between his wife’s former lobbying firm and the infamous Feeding Our Future fraud case — a $250 million scandal that rocked Minnesota. As Mayor Frey goes on a national media blitz attacking the Trump administration, opposing ICE operations, and warning about federal overreach, Minnesota is once again facing uncomfortable headlines: multiple ICE-involved shootings, escalating protests, lawsuits against the federal government, and renewed scrutiny of past fraud cases involving Somali-run nonprofits.

The seemingly deranged governor of Minnesota has effectively declared war on the federal government. Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States. – 18 U.S.C. § 2383 While federal law is clear that insurrection and rebellion are very bad crimes, indeed, both Congress and the Supreme Court have steered clear of...

Investigative journalist Nick Shirley set the internet on fire the day after Christmas when he posted a stunning video detailing the rampant Somali fraud poisoning Minnesota right under the noses of Gov. Tim Walz, Rep. Ilhan Oman (MN-05), and Gopher State Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D). The fearless young man with a camera and a microphone went around to numerous supposed Minneapolis daycares that were receiving oodles of federal money, only to discover that there were no kids or signs of life at many of them. Now he’s back with a second video, which he released Wednesday afternoon: 🚨 After my...

911 heard MULTIPLE DEATH THREATS directed at me by a mob, MPD pretended for 20 MINUTES that they were responding Then they told me I was on my own, and HUNG UP This city needs to be taken under FEDERAL CONTROL After about two minutes on scene, my security began wanting to bring me out of there due to the immediate threats of violence. I tried to shorten this video as much as possible but it’s tough given all the BS that unfolded. As soon as I dialed 911, one of the leftist screamed “Minneapolis Police are on OUR side!”...

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,...

President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended the administration’s decision not to brief senior congressional leaders ahead of the U.S. strike in Venezuela, arguing that advance notice would have jeopardized the operation that led to the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro. Speaking Saturday at a press conference carried by Newsmax, Rubio said the mission was "trigger-based," unfolding only when specific conditions were met after days of monitoring. He said it was not the type of operation that allowed for advance congressional notification, stressing that the action was fundamentally a law-enforcement mission, the arrest of "two indicted...

In response to growing allegations of fraud in Somali daycares in the Seattle area and beyond, Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson condemned independent journalists investigating the fraud, calling them “extremist influencers.” In a social media post, Wilson wrote, “I stand with the Somali childcare providers who have experienced targeted harassment, and condemn the surveillance campaign promoted by extremist influencers.” She then encouraged people who believe themselves to be “the victim of a hate crime” to contact Washington’s Hate Crimes and Bias Incident Hotline. She wrote in an official statement, “In Seattle, we believe in solidarity, and our city will not tolerate...

Minnesota-based organizations that receive government grants are also raising money through ActBlue, the same platform synonymous with Democratic campaign fundraising. These donations are run through ActBlue Charities, the platform’s 501(c)(3) “charitable giving” arm. But these groups are still tapping the ActBlue infrastructure, branding, and donor rails while simultaneously drawing down taxpayer funds. This revelation comes as authorities have started investigating troves of financial fraud plaguing Minnesota-based NGOs and daycare centers run by Somali migrants. The newfound ActBlue ties adds a political dimension to this scandal. The following Minnesota groups are listed on ActBlue’s directory: Sabathani Community Center Isuroon Alight African...

Some GOP Ohio lawmakers are calling for their fellow Republican state officials to investigate unproven claims spreading on social media about fraud among Columbus-area day cares. But Republican Gov. Mike DeWine's office says attempts to defraud publicly funded day care are not new and the state already has safeguards in place to catch it. The claims began to circulate after a viral video allegedly showing abandoned day cares among the Somali immigrant community in Minnesota led to a response from Vice President J.D. Vance, an Ohio native, and the FBI "surging" resources to investigate, according to USA TODAY.

I usually dont post video news from YouTube, but this was just too much for me to ignore. You have to watch to believe what this independent investigative journalist uncovered. Just unbelievable. This young man and an offical looking older man holding hard data on printouts go to building after building in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Inside there are 4,5,6 daycare centers that advertise hundreds of children but the place is empty save for 2 or 3 Somalian women. Same thing for medical treatment centers. Its an obvious cover up. This video should be used as evidence in congressional committee hearings. Note...

An autopen — if you’ve somehow avoided any major political news in the last six months — is exactly what it sounds like. It’s a device that automatically recreates signatures for an individual. It’s also one of the most controversial things to emerge from former President Joe Biden’s … shall we say “polarizing” lone presidential term. ... To wit, it’s hardly a secret that Biden wasn’t exactly the epitome of good health during his presidency. To say nothing of recent devastating health diagnoses (the 46th president has an aggressive prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones), Biden’s lone term...

Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok Los Angeles City Council Member Eunisses Hernandez (D) calls to escalate the riots against ICE agents. Arrest her. 10:43 PM · Jun 7, 2025

After Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass condemned ICE for operating in LA, the city is seeing massive unrest all across the city. But now that President Donald Trump is bringing in the national guard against CA Governor Gavin Newsom's wishes, will this save the city? Check out @AnthonyCabassa_'s work on x!

ABC News’ senior national correspondent Terry Moran went off on a late-night screed against top White House adviser Stephen Miller along with President on social media — drawing scathing backlash from the Trump administration. Moran, who landed an interview with the president in April, blasted Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff for policy, as a man “richly endowed with the capacity for hatred.”z “The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But...

Representative Nanette Barragán (D-CA) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that President Donald Trump was “targeting peaceful protests” by sending the National Guard to Los Angeles. Host Dana Bash said, “Let’s start with the fact that the president ordered National Guard troops to respond in LA County within the next 24 hours. What have you heard about the situation on the ground? What updates are you getting?” Barragán said, “Well, I’ve spoken to the sheriffs on the ground who have said they have things under control. There is no need for the National Guard. They have the manpower...

Was there a coup? That question, when asked in the context of American politics, invites ridicule from respectable quarters. Yet when the subject turns to foreign regimes, that same question is treated with analytic seriousness. Political scientists pore over cases from Georgia to Ukraine, from Venezuela to Egypt, cataloguing the hallmarks of so-called "color revolutions", soft regime-change efforts executed through legal, media, and civic levers, rather than military ones. Oddly, however, the moment one notices similar tactics deployed on American soil, the conversation ends. That silence deserves scrutiny. For there is a credible case that the 2020 effort to remove...

Former President Bill Clinton, on ABC's "The View" on Thursday, said he didn't have concerns about former President Joe Biden's mental sharpness amid a slate of reports that allege a decline in Biden's acuity during the 2024 campaign and at the end of his presidency. "Well, I think you have to pay attention to them," Clinton said when asked about the accounts. "But all I can say is whenever I was around him, his mind was clear, his judgment was good and he was on top of his brief." Clinton went on to question decisions made by the White House...

Everything is a cover-up. Nothing you hear is true. At least if it comes out of the mouths of Democrats and their mainstream media sycophants … or flows from their pens or keyboards. Turns out the Biden administration and the CDC knew the COVID-19 vaccines were dangerous but covered up that knowledge rather than properly inform the public. Big shock? Not to most of us. It also turns out the Biden administration knew cancer-causing chemicals were released into the local environment after the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio. And it turns out again that they covered that little bit...

DOJ Pardon Attorney Ed Martin discussed Biden’s growing autopen scandal this week with journalist Mark Halperin on the “2WAY Tonight” podcast. Last Tuesday Ed Martin said that the Justice Department is reviewing Joe Biden’s last-minute pardons since it has become increasingly clear he was incapacitated during his presidency. Ed Martin this Tuesday revealed he wrote to the Biden family and others and a senior Democrat whistleblower came forward with shocking allegations. A couple of people “lawyered up” Ed Martin said. “The Biden pardons are unprecedented,” he added. “I had a whistleblower in my office 10 day ago, senior, senior Democrat...
