House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer dropped a bombshell this week, suggesting that far-left Rep. Ilhan Omar sits “at the top of the suspect list” in the sprawling Minnesota fraud scandals involving taxpayer-funded daycare and healthcare programs. The comments came during a pointed exchange with journalist Alison Steinberg, who raised serious concerns about whether members of Congress themselves may have benefited from money funneled through political action committees tied to fraudulent daycare and healthcare schemes. The Gateway Pundit previously reported that retired Lieutenant General Michael Flynn has leveled explosive allegations against Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, claiming that a...

The far-left ladies of The View suffered yet another on-air meltdown this week after longtime anti-Trump commentator Ana Navarro dared to break ranks and inject reality into a discussion about U.S. policy toward Venezuela, triggering a full-blown freakout from co-host Sunny Hostin and snide interjections from Joy Behar. As President Trump’s Operation Absolute Resolve continues to secure freedom for the Venezuelan people and protect American interests, the legal “experts” on the Left are mourning the loss of a Marxist regime. The segment, which was supposed to be another routine Trump-bashing session, quickly spiraled out of control when Navarro refused to...

Chaos erupted on the streets of Minneapolis on Wednesday as federal immigration enforcement agents were forced to deploy non-lethal munitions to disperse a hostile crowd of agitators after ICE fatally shot a rioter who attempted to run over agents in Minneapolis. According to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the incident began while federal agents were conducting “targeted enforcement operations” in the neighborhood as part of a massive surge of 2,000 federal officers into the Twin Cities area. DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin stated that a group of “rioters” had begun blocking ICE officers. The agency alleges that...

In the latest episode of the Deep State circus that’s turned our justice system into a bad joke, a 92-year-old federal judge appointed by none other than Bill Clinton back in the ’90s has been assigned to oversee the high-profile case against Venezuelan socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro in New York. This is the same judge who has a track record of rulings that seem tailor-made to thwart President Trump’s agenda and protect left-wing interests. U.S. District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein, who took senior status way back in 2011, but somehow keeps popping up in major cases. He has issued several...

Elon Musk issued a stark warning after a viral TikTok clip appeared to show a Somali TikTok user making a chilling remark about his life. The video, which rapidly spread across social media platforms, shows an unidentified TikTok user livestreaming while playing a video of Elon Musk on her phone. After speaking in a non-English language, the user switched to English and stated: “I wouldn’t worry too much about him. He about to die.” WATCH: Musk responded directly on X with a terse message that quickly went viral, later pinning it to the top of his account: “Then it is...

For decades the Iranian regime has brutally suppressed any uprising in country by shooting, beating, jailing, innocent protesters. The evil Shiite regime is famous for slaughtering young protesters in the streets during any political uprising. And for years, the protesters have called out to American leaders to help rescue them from the brutal regime. The regime’s anti-riot police are frequently filmed firing on innocent protesters in Iran. This sniper, filmed in 2022, was aiming precisely at the protesters in the crowd and firing his weapon. Of course, this is not the first time the regime was out shooting at protesters....

Minnesota’s sprawling welfare-industrial complex is once again under the microscope after a stunning investigation by NewsNation revealed that so-called “assisted living” facilities funded with millions in taxpayer dollars are, in reality, nothing more than ordinary single-family homes. According to reporting from Rich McHugh of NewsNation, Minnesota continues to shovel millions of Medicaid dollars to properties owned by a man already indicted in the state’s massive Feeding Our Future fraud scandal, despite overwhelming red flags and a growing list of exploited public programs. The properties are owned by Gandi Mohamed, also known as Gandi Abdi Kediye, who was indicted in February...

A new report alleges that Somalia’s Foreign Minister Abdisalam Abdi Ali, a U.S. citizen whose Ohio-based healthcare company has raked in millions from American taxpayers, also controls an LLC operating out of the same address as a Somali money transfer firm previously accused of funneling funds to terrorist organizations. Abdisalam Abdi Ali was appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of Somalia in May 2025. Born in Somalia but building a life in the U.S., Ali established Ritechoice Healthcare Services LLC in Toledo, Ohio, over a decade ago. Shockingly, two additional healthcare companies operate out of the same office...

This may explain why the Somali population in Minnesota believe they can steal several billion from taxpayers for fake childcare and adult care assistance. A month ago, Minneapolis Police Chief O’Hara apologized to the Somali community after the billion dollar fraud was discovered. Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara: The Somali community here in Minneapolis has been welcoming and has shown love towards me and I appreciate it. Over the last three years we have been working together to try and address some of the real serious problems that we have in our community. We have to be honest at times...

A 54-minute secret recording from a December 11, 2021, closed-door meeting inside Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison’s official state office is resurfacing amid explosive revelations that 70 Somali community members in Minnesota participated in stealing $250 million in federal COVID child-feeding funds. On the tape released by American Experiment earlier this year, Ellison sympathizes with, encourages, and ultimately promises assistance to a group of Somali-American business leaders, many of whom would later be charged or convicted in the largest COVID relief fraud scheme in U.S. history. The fraudulent operation, centered around the notorious nonprofit Feeding Our Future, stole an estimated...

Body-camera footage captures the terrifying moment a convicted felon attempts to execute a police officer inside a Walmart loss-prevention room A violent felon was caught on camera attempting to shoot a police officer in the head while inside a Walmart loss prevention room. The only reason the officer is alive today is because the criminal’s gun failed to fire and a brave Walmart employee jumped into action. The incident unfolded around 1:45 p.m. Thursday at a Walmart on Atlantic Boulevard NE in Canton, Ohio, FOX10 reported. An officer with the Canton Police Department responded to a shoplifting call and escorted...

Guest post by Bob Cushman Once in a while, a reporter finds a story that challenges his or her ability to tell because it is so massive in terms of time and scope. He or she feels over-whelmed. This reporter feels that way, but let’s begin anyway. This story will attempt to show the reader the journey that this reporter has been on to discover what is most likely one of the largest money laundering evolutions in the history of this country. First Indications of Massive Money Laundering – 2019

Senator Eric Schmitt delivered an absolute demolition of a clueless reporter on Tuesday after she tried—and failed spectacularly—to equate narco-terrorist drug-running vessels as harmless “fishing boats.” What followed was a brutal reality check that the fake news media desperately needed. While Democrats obsess over protecting cartel operatives and criticizing U.S. interventions, Schmitt made clear the only victims in this story are American families burying loved ones poisoned by fentanyl. The exchange was filmed by Caden Olson, a congressional reporter for the Daily Caller News Foundation. Reporter: If you can seize a tanker without killing anyone, shouldn’t that… If you can...

Donald Trump Jr. made some not so surprising allegations against Ukraine at the Doha Forum in December. Donald Trump, Jr. recently made some noise about the ongoing Ukrainian War with Russia. Earlier this month Don Jr. unloaded on Ukrainian aid, telling fitness trainer and author, Jillian Michaels, that when he went to Monaco with his girlfriend, half of the super cars he saw on the street had Ukrainian plates. Via Chief Nerd. 🚨 Don Jr Goes Off on the Ukraine War“I was actually in Monaco earlier this summer … and every other car there was an Italian supercar, like a...

Why is this demon still working at the DOJ? Why was she not cut loose? Why is she not being prosecuted? Jocelyn Ballantine was one of the Department of Justice attorneys assigned to Michael Flynn’s prosecution. The Department admitted altering evidence in the case following a reprimand from the judge. She called this an inadvertent mistake at the time. Ballantine also provided altered documents to Sidney Powell, and submitted an FBI interview report with redactions to information that was crucial to the case, according to En-Wikipedia. When the US government threw out the case against General Flynn, Ballantine declined to...

West Virginia National Guardsman Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe, 24, has begun responding to nurses after surviving a brutal ambush just blocks from the White House. The attack, carried out by an Afghan national who entered the United States under the Biden regime’s mass-entry refugee program, left Wolfe in critical condition and his fellow Guardswoman Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, 20, dead. During a press conference Monday, West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey announced that Wolfe, though still in serious condition, showed the first encouraging signs of neurological responsiveness. Gov. Patrick Morrisey: “I want to say I’m not the doctor; I’m not going to...

President Donald Trump obliterated a so-called “reporter” who dared to question why he holds Joe Biden responsible for allowing the Afghan terrorist, who ambushed two National Guard members in Washington, D.C., into the United States, which left a member of the West Virginia National Guard dead and another in critical condition. The exchange happened during a press gaggle that quickly turned into a masterclass in how to handle the corrupt press. The reporter had the audacity to ask: “Why do you blame the Biden administration?” As if it’s not crystal clear that Crooked Joe’s bungled withdrawal flooded our country with...

Seth Rich Attorney Ty Clevenger fired off a blistering letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel back in April, accusing the FBI of flagrantly concealing critical records about the late DNC staffer Seth Rich and the now-discredited Russia collusion narrative. Seth Rich was murdered in the summer of 2016 before the release of the Hillary Clinton emails. His death has never been explained. Wikileaks founder Julian Assange suggested it was Rich who provided the Hillary-DNC emails to his organization and NOT Russia. In February 2024, Clevenger demanded that the FBI hand over the Seth Rich documents...

It all begins and ends with Tina Peters. What they have done to Tina is reflective of what they will do to all Americans if we don’t listen to her and end the corruption she exposed in our election system. Without honest and transparent elections in the 2026 Midterms and 2028 Presidential, America as we knew it will be done. Tina Peters exposed the Color Revolution’s most crucial tool of stolen elections, solely intended to destroy America from within. Unfortunately, the best America could do to reward her was to send her to a likely death sentence of 9 years...

Eric Swalwell made a point of positioning himself as a high-profile Donald Trump critic and moral authority, appearing almost nightly on left-leaning TV shows for years. However, scandal also followed him, from his alleged ties to the Chinese spy “Fang Fang” to his removal from the House Intelligence Committee over national security concerns, to his infamous on-air mishap during a 2019 interview on Hardball with Chris Matthews. Apparently, Eric Swalwell’s public scandals didn’t come out of thin air. They were foreshadowed in his comedic and confused 2010 “Summary Dissolution” public divorce agreement with his first wife, Melissa Jane Maranda. It...
