🚨WATCH: 'What we found was deeply concerning' Scott Dexter, a former Minnesota Department of Human Services investigator, testified to Congress that he spent nearly three decades conducting criminal and financial fraud investigations, including in the state’s Child Care Assistance Program before political pressure and bureaucratic hurdles brought meaningful investigations to a halt. After joining DHS in 2013 as part of a newly formed fraud unit, Dexter said his team focused on data-driven cases. “Our cases were not selected based on the name of the center, the owner, or the community it served,” Dexter told lawmakers. “They were selected based solely...

The fraud being exposed in California is INSANE - 18% of THE WHOLE COUNTRY’S home health care billing is coming out of Los Angeles County - One doctor billed the government $120 million in a single year claiming to oversee 1,900 patients - With almost 2,000 hospice agencies, Los Angeles County has more than 36 states combined and 30X MORE than the whole state of Florida and New York “How is that possible? And take a look at this map, a cluster of 287 hospice providers, in a two-mile radius, some in strip malls, unmarked buildings, even a wrecking yard...

When glib, elitist leftists fail to actually read and comprehend history, you get someone who is an incompetent history teacher and a soon-to-be former governor, like Tim Walz. The Minnesota Democrat actually had the nerve to suggest that federal enforcement of immigration laws in his state could trigger another civil war. (snip) All of this posturing is to detract from the fact that Walz is mired in the Somali fraud scandal in his state and could possibly wind up in jail over it. His hands are certainly not clean when it comes to the burgeoning corruption, and he has now...

Transcript SummaryPatrick Byrne appeared as a guest on The Alex Jones Show, hosted by Harrison Smith. He discussed recent developments related to 2020 election claims in Fulton County, Georgia.Byrne stated that forensic examinations of hard drive images from five counties using Dominion voting systems in 2020 revealed an average of 500 changes (with one reaching 1,000) to DLL files (dynamic link libraries) after certification. He explained DLLs as shared libraries of tools that programs access, analogous to a common toolbox in an auto repair shop. He asserted that any post-certification change invalidates the system for the election, as acknowledged even...

And now another massive update.... The Trump FBI now has the 2020 Fulton County election ballots! Also the voter list: Let's just say the Commissioner is NOT happy...

LARGE crowds of male migrants queued up to get paperwork in Spain after the country’s socialist PM offered to legalise the status of some half a million foreign nationals. Tech mogul Elon Musk then got into a row with left wing PM Pedro Sánchez on X over the policy, as the CEO re-shared a post which called the policy “electoral engineering”. The plan will give legal status to all foreign nationals who can prove they do not have a criminal record and had lived in Spain for at least five months before the start of 2026. Once approved, migrants will...

President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social on Saturday that “the theft and fraud in Minnesota is far greater than the $19 billion originally projected.” The post came as House Oversight Chair Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., said Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison will testify under oath March 4. The testimony will be part of a congressional investigation into alleged fraud in state-run social services programs. In the post, Trump also attacked Rep.

A contest to determine the most smug, contemptuous, repellent female Democrat would feature too many entrants to count. Nonetheless, Dana Barrett, a Democrat serving as commissioner in Fulton County, Georgia, has made a case for herself. In a video recorded Wednesday outside the Fulton County elections office and then posted to the social media platform X, Barrett tried desperately to evade independent journalist David Khait, who was asking her about cleaning up the state’s corrupted voter rolls.

A freelance journalist reported on billions of dollars stolen from welfare programs in Minnesota. Congress did not uncover this scandal; a member of the public did. How did Congress respond? Did they open their own investigation, or claw back money from Minnesota? No, they simply decided to spend another $5 billion on welfare. If Congress cared so much about addressing welfare fraud of the kind found in Minnesota, why is the Senate considering a spending package that includes yet another $5 billion in taxpayer funded welfare for refugees? Can Democrats and big government Republicans be so obtuse as to propose...

Missouri filed a sweeping federal lawsuit on Friday arguing the Census Bureau’s practice of counting illegal immigrants and visa holders is unconstitutional because it dilutes U.S. citizens’ votes and bolsters blue states' representation in Congress. The lawsuit, led by Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway, alleges that Missouri was robbed of one congressional seat after the 2020 census because the apportionment process, conducted every ten years, involves counting certain foreigners living in the United States. Missouri lawyers made an ambitious demand that the Census Bureau redo its population count from 2020 and exclude illegal immigrants and visa holders, and then recalculate...
