Illinois leaders and lawmakers spoke out on Friday about the Trump administration's move to withhold billions of dollars in federal childcare funds for Illinois and four other states run by Democrats. The move will freeze nearly $2.4 billion for the Child Care Development Fund, and billions more in funding for other social service programs in Illinois, Minnesota, New York, California, and Colorado. However, on Friday, a federal judge in New York issued a temporary restraining order blocking the Trump administration from freezing those funds for now. The order will last for 14 days, while the court considers a request for...

Cash payments will be waiting for whistleblowers who provide information related to Minnesota’s unfolding fraud scandal, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Friday. The announcement of reward money comes as the Trump administration is pursuing wide-scale fraud investigations in Minnesota due to persistent allegations involving money-laundering schemes, pirating of federal human services funds, and other misuse of taxpayer money. “We know that these rats will turn on each other,” Bessent told Fox News’s The Ingraham Angle on Friday. “We are going to offer whistleblower payments to anyone who wants to tell us the who, what, when, where, and how this...

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins warned Minnesota’s Democrat leaders on Friday their “handouts to thieves” are at an end, her announcement coming amid news about rampant fraud in the state.

The United States has played a central role in shaping the international order. From the Monroe Doctrine which allowed nations in our region to flourish free from interference outside of our hemisphere, to our pivotal role in the establishment of the United Nations, to serving as the primary security guarantor under the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and as the world’s largest humanitarian donor, America’s leadership has been unquestionable. Leadership requires difficult choices, and the ability to recognize when the institutions created to promote peace, prosperity and liberty have become obstacles to those goals. What we term the “international system” is...

The Somali-dominated Democratic political machine in Minnesota successfully silenced hundreds of government experts who tracked the huge flow of taxpayer funds through Somali-run businesses, a top Minnesota Republican told a House hearing on Wednesday. Up to 1,000 government auditors, accountants, and program managers were silenced by Democratic threats, Minnesota House Rep. Marion Rarick told a House hearing: The most severe ones was that they would be fired with cause so they couldn’t have unemployment insurance, that they would be blacklisted from all state agencies… [including] Hennepin County, Ramsey County. As you know, those are Democrat-run. Many government experts, non-government professionals,...

A Minnesota state audit reveals that government employees fabricated and backdated documents to cover up massive mismanagement of taxpayer funds. This is a systemic failure inside the Department of Human Services that raises serious questions about fraud, accountability, and whether anyone will actually be held responsible.

President Trump is taking decisive against the egregious fraud being committed against American taxpayers, and @USTreasury is following the money. We took on the mafia. We took on the cartels. Now, we are cracking down on Somali fraud networks and money being wired out of our country. We are opening investigations and putting an end to illicit activities in order to defend taxpayers and put America First.

Billions of dollars in alleged fraudulent healthcare spending is being investigated in California, specifically probing foreign nationals operating illegal hospice facilities — officials announced Friday in a bombshell press conference. “We have witnessed a sevenfold increase in hospice in LA County, sevenfold. That doesn’t happen naturally,” Dr Mehmet Oz, the administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services told The Post during at the press conference. “There is not seven times more deaths in LA County than there were five years ago. These are fraudsters, and these do tend to be foreign influences, either Russian and Armenian gangs, mafia,...

In this video I discuss the election of an alleged Somali criminal & fraudster Iman Osman to the Lewiston City Council despite some pretty obvious red flags This Somali cheerfully stole money supposed to be for the victims of the mass shooting in Maine,

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...

The Brief: * Two men from Philadelphia are accused of traveling to Minnesota to take advantage of "easy money" through the state’s Medicaid programs. * The FOX 9 Investigators confirmed both men will plead guilty during plea hearings scheduled for next month. * Authorities allege the pair’s scheme involved $3.5 million in fraudulent Medicaid billing. Federal prosecutors charged Anthony Jefferson and Lester Brown, both from Philadelphia, with exploiting the state’s social service programs to line their own pockets.

House Republicans are escalating scrutiny of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) after Oversight Committee members moved to seek immigration records connected to long-standing allegations surrounding her second marriage. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) confirmed this week that lawmakers are pursuing subpoenas related to Omar’s immigration history and that of her former spouse, amid claims that the marriage may have been entered into for immigration purposes. “Federal marriage fraud and knowingly entering a marriage to evade immigration laws is a serious felony punishable by prison time, steep fines, denaturalization, and deportation,” Mace said in a statement. “Marrying a sibling is illegal in every...

Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) abandoned his ludicrous quest for a third term on Jan. 5. He has angrily refused to resign from office. Whenever he departs, whether upon his resignation some time this year or the expiration of his term early next year, we can say this much with certainty: Like former President Joe Biden, he has become a dispensable inconvenience to Democrats, in this case, Minnesota Democrats facing the 2026 elections at all levels of state government, and, like Biden, he will leave office in disgrace.To say that Walz is the worst governor in Minnesota history does not come...

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...

Taking advantage of a generous New York state program to aid his ailing mother, Ballal Hossain signed up a dozen family members to work as her caregivers. Over six years, they were paid $348,000 to look after the elderly woman at a Manhattan apartment. Except the mom was in Bangladesh the entire time. Incredibly, Hossain got away with the fraud by having his brother pose as their sick mother for whenever inspectors showed up, before finally being caught. He was later sentenced for grand larceny, according to prosecutors. It’s just one egregious example of a welfare program — called the...
