A Minneapolis child care center with a history of safety violations is being investigated by federal and state authorities for possible financial fraud. The FBI and the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) executed a search warrant Wednesday morning at Salama Child Care Center at 1411 Nicollet Av. near downtown Minneapolis. Families of children at the facility were turned away for a time as authorities from both agencies carried out computers, boxes and folders of documents to waiting vans. Officials from DHS, the FBI and the U.S. attorney's office in Minneapolis all declined to comment on the nature of the...

President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have made clear that the collapse of Cuba’s communist government is not only a likely side benefit of Maduro’s ouster but a goal.No place was hit harder than Cuba by the shock waves that Saturday morning’s U.S. military seizure of Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro sent throughout Latin America and the world. Within hours of the operation — long before the government in Havana acknowledged it — phone calls and texts across the island spread the news that dozens of elite Cuban security forces had been killed guarding Maduro. But by the time...

Denmark's prime minister has told Donald Trump to "stop the threats" about taking over Greenland. Mette Frederiksen said "it makes absolutely no sense to talk about the need for the United States to take over Greenland", adding: "The US has no right to annex any of the three nations in the Danish kingdom". Her remarks come after Katie Miller - the wife of one of Trump's aides, Stephen Miller - tweeted a map of Greenland in the colours of the American flag alongside the word "SOON". Trump has repeatedly raised the possibility of Greenland becoming an annexed part of the...

Federal Medicaid policy creates little incentive for states to stop potential fraudsters. Fixing that should be the priority, not demonizing Somali immigrants.A sprawling welfare scheme that saw fraudsters steal over $9 billion in Minnesota is a damning indictment of a federal and state bureaucracy that failed at some of its most basic responsibilities to taxpayers. That fraud is back at the top of the news this week after YouTuber Nick Shirley went viral with a 42-minute video in which he claims to be "investigating" the fraud scandal. In the video, Shirley knocks on the doors of several day care centers...

Joe Rogan Reacts to Senator Kennedy Dropping the Jeffrey Epstein Bomb #shorts

RE: Fraud in Minnesota I’m not sure that most Americans understand that in large swathes of humanity, there is no actual concept of “fraud,” particularly fraud against the government. Instead, there is a belief in the virtue of getting away with what you can to help yourself and your tribe. I spent a lot of my life in the Middle East and Central Asia, working closely with foreign contractors and foreign governments to provide support to American military operations. As a US Army officer with a big checkbook courtesy of Uncle Sam, I can’t really count the sheer number of...

Trump demands DOJ release all the names related to the Epstein investigation as he complains of a ‘witch hunt’ and Democrat ‘hoax’ (Can only be linked to, per FR rules.)

"So you're telling me there's a chance."We laughed when the "Dumb and Dumber" character uttered that but that attitude was reflected in real life by a New York magazine writer which makes it even funnier. Yes, the extreme Hopium expressed by that magazine's Intelligencer section senior editor, Margaret Hartmann, over the incredibly slight possibility that Jeffrey Epstein's postcard letter to imprisoned serial sex offender Larry Nassar might be valid is made hilarious by its sheer desperation despite the much less than million to one chance that it could be true. You can see Hartmann on Tuesday going full "Dumb and...

VIDEOThe release of the FAKE Epstein letter supposedly sent to imprisoned serial sex offender Larry Nassar was like tossing red meat into a small pond of starving liberal piranhas. They latched onto that FAKE letter and devoured it without the least bit of contemplation about its validity as you can see in this video. Unsurprisingly the supposed Epstein letter has been declared by the DOJ to have been a FAKE. It should have been obvious because there is no way that the DOJ under the Sleepy Joe Regime did not already go through the Epstein files with a fine tooth...

A salacious letter purportedly written by Jeffrey Epstein that directly referenced President Trump is fake, the Justice Department said Tuesday. “The FBI has confirmed that this alleged letter from Jeffrey Epstein to Larry Nassar is FAKE,” the DOJ wrote on X hours after it pledged it was “looking into the validity of this alleged letter.” Epstein purportedly wrote the letter to fellow jailed sex offender Larry Nassar — the disgraced USA Gymnastics doctor who is serving hundreds of years of prison for abusing girls under his care.

Tech-savvy sleuths have discovered a way to uncensor the heavily redacted files on notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, as the Department of Justice continues to release the documents. Some portions of the documents, initially blacked out in Adobe Acrobat by the federal agency, pop up when copied and pasted into Google Docs or Microsoft programs like Word, The Post confirmed during a test run. The Post, however, cannot confirm the veracity of the redactions.

Epstein Island was just a sideshow, what this really was about was financing Covert Ops during the 1980's and 90's This is it. The key to Epstein: Bear Stearns put him on BCCI trades in 1979, when it made millions helping the CIA, Brits, Saudis & Israelis disguise covert cash by clearing $13 billion with BCCI, a CIA money laundering bank. Epstein simply developed that clientele & career niche. The rest is history.

Department says image was flagged by prosecutors before determining it posed no risk to survivors of late sex offenderThe US justice department said on Sunday it had restored an image it had removed a day earlier from the public release of investigative files related to Jeffrey Epstein after concluding that the photograph, which included within it a photo of Donald Trump, posed no risk of public exposure to victims of the late convicted sex offender.The justice department said the image had been flagged by federal prosecutors in New York for potentially exposing victims of Epstein. Its unexplained removal on Saturday...

SummaryAnkush Khardori, a POLITICO Magazine senior writer and former federal prosecutor, provides guidance on navigating the Justice Department's release of Epstein investigation files, mandated by a law signed by President Trump with a Friday deadline. The release involves over 300 gigabytes of data, including electronic devices, documents, logs, financial records, FBI interview summaries (302s), and internal communications, excluding child pornography material. Full compliance may take weeks due to volume. Khardori warns the release is unlikely to end Epstein conspiracy theories. Five rules:Don’t Read the Files Directly: Avoid drawing conclusions from isolated items; rely on reputable journalists for context, as raw...

Summary A few Republicans join Democrats in criticizing Epstein release as inadequate Justice Department missed deadline for full Epstein file disclosure Critics say redactions fuel conspiracy theories, erode Trump support The U.S. Justice Department released a partial, heavily redacted set of Epstein-related files on December 19-20, 2025, missing a congressional deadline for full disclosure under a bipartisan law signed by President Trump in November. The release included approximately 300,000 pages of documents, photos, and materials, with extensive redactions—including entirely blacked-out sections—and featured prominent references to former President Bill Clinton but few to Trump. Criticism came from both parties: Democrats accused...

Rep. Ro Khanna, a California Democrat, said in an interview on CNN that he and Rep. Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican, are also considering whether Bondi should be held in contempt of Congress. "What we found out is the most important documents are missing," Khanna said. "They've had excessive redactions." The documents released Friday make only limited references to President Donald Trump, even though the administration has acknowledged that his name appears in the files. Former President Bill Clinton, by contrast, appears numerous times in the documents. The release included photos of Clinton swimming, as well as images showing him...

We've spent several hours scanning through datasets of documents released by the Department of Justice. Here's what we've learned so far... "Thank you for believing me, I feel redeemed" That's what Maria Farmer, one of Epstein's earliest accusers, says in a statement to the BBC about her 1996 complaint to the FBI being included in the files today. In that complaint, Farmer said Epstein stole personal photos she took of her 12-year-old and 16-year-old sisters. She believed he sold the photos to potential buyers, and said he threatened to burn her house down if she told anyone about it, the...
