President Donald Trump railed against alleged social services fraud in Minnesota during remarks at his New Year’s Eve celebration at Mar-a-Lago on Wednesday. "Can you imagine they stole $18 billion," Trump said. "That's just what we're learning about. That's peanuts. And California is worse, Illinois is worse and sadly New York is worse." Trump continued, "We're going to get to the bottom of all those. It was a giant scam."

BREAKING: I’m calling for the denaturalization and deportation of every Somali engaged in fraud in Minnesota. Read my full statement below: “I have three words regarding Somalis who have committed fraud against American taxpayers: Send them home. If they’re here illegally, deport them immediately; if they’re naturalized citizens, revoke their citizenship and deport them quickly thereafter. If we need to change the law to do that, I will. Our nation will not tolerate those who take advantage of our charity and refuse to assimilate into our culture. Additionally, if any naturalized Somalis had undisclosed ties to terrorist organizations like Al-Shabaab,...

Independent journalist Nick Shirley released a viral video on December 26, 2025, documenting visits to several state-funded daycare centers in Minneapolis. These centers, many catering to the Somali immigrant community, were found empty during operational hours, with no children present and signs of disuse, despite receiving substantial public funding through Minnesota’s Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP). Shirley’s investigation has uncovered over $110 million in suspicious payments in a single day, building on prior scandals like the Feeding Our Future fraud. The revelations have fueled criticism of Democratic Governor Tim Walz, with Republicans like Rep. Tom Emmer demanding answers and linking...

White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller assessed the alleged Somali fraud case centered in Minnesota on Friday's broadcast of "Jesse Watters Primetime" on FOX News. "Somalia has this giant coastline, and the only industry they have created, after hundreds of years is piracy, stealing what anyone going through who has actually built something has made. So, yes, the pirates have stolen all of our money, and they have to go home," Miller said. "JESSE WATTERS, FOX NEWS: While Democrats fight for illegals and commies, 47 is keeping his eye on the prize. You! Deputy Chief-of-Staff for Policy and...

The Trump Education Department has been focusing on identifying student loan fraud and they have a lot to show for their efforts. They just announced that they have uncovered more than a billion dollars in fraud. Trump’s Education Secretary, Linda McMahon, may be the last cabinet official of her kind if Trump has his way. Like many Republicans going all the way back to Ronald Reagan, Trump wants to do away with the department completely. McMahon and Trump have successfully done away with a number of horrible Bide-era policies on student loans and financial aid, which has helped them to...

FBI officials are investigating the D.C. Afghan suspect shooter Rahmanullah Lakanwal’s associates and activities in the United States. “Working with the United States Attorney’s offices here at the Department of Justice and prosecutors across the country, we were able to serve search warrants literally overnight and through the night,” FBI Director Kath Patel said Thursday morning. He added: We were able to hit the house in Washington State. During that process, we seized numerous electronic devices, to include cell phones, laptops, iPads and other material that is being analyzed as we speak. Pursuant to that investigation and any known associates...

@RealAlexJones 🚨BREAKING EPSTEIN BOMBSHELL: High-Level Mossad Officer Ari Ben-Menashe Confirms Jeffrey Epstein Worked For Mossad & Has Been Blackmailing American Presidents For Decades!

President Trump suggested Biden’s Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco was one of the autopen operators. Trump made the remarks on Tuesday during an Oval Office briefing on wildfires. A reporter asked President Trump if people should see similar ICE operations in the rest of the country after the feds conducted immigration raids in Los Angeles. President Trump said more ICE raids will take place across the country and slammed the Biden Regime for facilitating the invasion of illegal aliens. Trump said Joe Biden’s autopen – and whoever operated the autopen… like Lisa Monaco – facilitated the invasion. Recall that Lisa...

Yesterday, James Comey caused quite the stir when he went on Instagram and posted a picture of a shell formation on the beach — obviously one he made — that spelled out “86 47,” which many interpreted as a threat on President Trump’s life. Since then, everyone’s been arguing over the definition of “86.” As slang goes, it has a wide variety of uses, some of which are more innocent, such as when you run out of a menu item at a restaurant you “86” it or when you get kicked out of a bar for being too drunk or...

I didn't realize some folks associate those numbers with violence."Trump and...

UPDATE: A formal letter has just been sent to Secret Service Director Sean Curran and FBI Director Kash Patel, calling for an immediate joint investigation into James Comey after he posted a disturbing message on social media using the phrase “86” in reference to President Trump. That term is widely understood to mean kill or eliminate. The letter demands a full probe into potential violations of federal law, including 18 U.S.C. § 871 (threats against the President) and 18 U.S.C. § 875 (interstate threats). It also presses for answers on whether Comey still holds a security clearance or has access...

A prominent critic of President Donald Trump sends what would appear to be a coded message: They subtly display four digits: an “86” followed by the two digits that denote Trump’s presidency.But the year is not 2025 with former FBI director James B. Comey; it’s 2020 with Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D). While Comey on Thursday stoked controversy by posting a photo of seashells arranged in a formation of “86 47,” Whitmer engaged in a similar form of political protest five years ago. She appeared on television with a tiny “86 45” pin displayed on the table next to her.The...

CNN — Audio of then-President Joe Biden’s interview with former special counsel Robert Hur in the now-closed probe over Biden’s handling of classified documents was published by Axios on Friday. The interview became one of the most notable and politically controversial parts of Hur’s investigation, which concluded there wasn’t enough evidence to charge Biden with criminal mishandling of records after his vice presidency. In a final report, Hur called Biden, 81 at the time, “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” The audio comes as questions about Biden’s physical and mental capabilities have returned to the spotlight. A...

o get an idea of how urgently Democrats’ Deep State needs to be addressed, consider that not long ago James Comey was Director of the FBI. Now he is on Instagram posting a call for yet another assassination attempt on Trump in the form of an arrangement of seashells spelling out the code “8647.” For those unfamiliar with the term, the New York Post published this last April 8: How much longer will Democrats accept their supporters’ escalating calls for violence? … In Holland, Mich., Redmond, Ore., and elsewhere, grinning marchers wore shirts and carried placards emblazoned with the number...
