As accusations of day care fraud swirl around in Minnesota two strong voices came out swinging at the accusers. Gov. Tim Walz (D) said "what we're all seeing here is racism, pure and simple. Republicans are always harping about how immigrants need to be self-supporting so as not to be a burden on American taxpayers. Now they are complaining that formerly penniless refugees from Somalia have gone from rags to riches in the daycare industry. Why is it that when persons of color get ahead whites insinuate that it must be by illicit methods?" "I think we ought to celebrate...

Citing the global threat of overpopulation, Gov. JB Pritzker (D-Ill) and the Democrat majority in the state legislature passed a law requiring all healthcare providers, including those who have ethical or religious objections, to tout the public benefits of abortion. Pritzker justified this compelled speech by asserting that "unconstrained population growth poses a severe threat to public health. We cannot allow zealots who hope to use the innocence of the unborn to divert us from taking the essential actions needed to avert the inevitable famine that will result from the careless creation of more mouths to feed. Hundreds of folks...

In an interview with host Leland Vittert on NewsNation, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla) claimed that "President Trump is a bigger threat to American values than Islamic terrorists. The scope of the massacres and atrocities of these terrorists is more limited. Only thousands of people are killed every year in one brutal assault after another both in America and in other countries." "In contrast, Trump has mesmerized and deluded tens of millions of voters in two elections," the Congresswoman asserted. "Despite the efforts of an almost unanimous media pounding away at him with nearly a 100% negative coverage and despite...

Hundreds of social service workers at the Minnesota Department of Human Services have identified Gov. Tim Walz (D) as the reason why fraudsters were able to steal over one billion dollars of public funds intended to feed the hungry, saying "Tim Walz is 100% responsible for massive fraud in Minnesota. We let Tim Walz know of fraud early on, hoping for a partnership in stopping fraud. Instead, he systematically retaliated against whistleblowers and did his best to discredit fraud reports. Meanwhile the perpetrators of the Feeding Our Future fraud scheme stole the money that was supposed to feed children during...

In 1985, the iconic Lucille Ball stunned both Hollywood and audiences across America when, after doing three successful comedy series, she took on a serious, dramatic roll playing a homeless woman surviving the streets of New York City. It was a project Lucille Ball wanted to do, and one that she did well, so well, that former homeless people who actually lived on the streets praised the film for its accurate portrayal.

Over several days, Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard has declassified and published government documents that she says "verify that the alleged Russia-Trump collusion during the 2016 election was a hoax concocted by Democrats to undermine both the Trump campaign and the Trump Administration. Assessments by the intelligence community and forwarded to President Obama found no evidence of collusion between the Russians and Trump. Yet, President Obama dismissed this finding and insisted that a collusion meme be pursued. This was used to justify unwarranted surveillance of American citizens and a media campaign to cast suspicion on Trump." Former President...

In 2008, California voters approved a $9.95 billion bond measure to construct a high-speed rail system between Los Angeles and San Francisco by the year 2020. Seventeen years later and 1300% over budget, Gov. Gavin Newsom claims that "the project has met every obligation and we are now fast approaching the track-laying phase." President Trump questioned "whether a project that was supposed to be completed by 2020 can honestly be said to have met every obligation' seems dubious. The original promise made to voters was that the trains would've been carrying passengers for the last five years. Now Gov. Newsom...

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent went on Mornings with Maria on the Fox Business Channel to tout the stimulating effect Trump's economic policies are having on business investment, saying "the tariff is bringing back manufacturing to the US and the tax reforms in the One Big, Beautiful Bill are encouraging businesses to invest more. By allowing businesses to fully deduct costs for improved facilities and machinery rather than requiring them to be amortized over a longer period efficiency and productivity can be implemented more quickly. The way that countries get rich is through long-term investments that improve productivity." "Another important step...

Former US Representative, US Senate candidate and 2020 Democratic presidential contender Beto O'Rourke (D-Tex) went on CNN's State of the Union to tell host Jake Tapper that "we have to be absolutely ruthless about getting back in power. So, yes, in California, in Illinois, in New York, wherever we have the trifecta of power, we have to use that to its absolute extent." "Take the California Assembly, for example," O'Rourke said, "Democrats out number Republicans 60 to 19. In the Senate it's 30 to 10. Democrats have the votes to gerrymander every state Republican out of their seats. We can...

In what he mistakenly thought was a winning argument in his campaign for New York City mayor, former Gov, Andrew Cuomo said he "will move to Florida if socialist Mamdani wins in November." Brooklyn resident Luigi Corleone said "I was planning on voting for Sliwa. He's not a communist kook or a crook like the others, but the opportunity to get Cuomo out of the state is very tempting. Mamdani's ideas are stupid, but I don't think he ever murdered anyone. Cuomo, on the other hand, ordered nursing homes to admit covid-infected old folks. Thousands died as a result. Cuomo...

In an appearance on The Light Podcast, hosted by his wife, Michelle, former President Barack Obama offered his views on male development and friendships, saying "a dad, no matter how good the dad is, can't be everything. A boy may need somebody to give the boy some perspective on the dad, like Frank Davis did for me when I was growing up." "I had a gay professor in college at a time when openly gay folks still weren't out a lot, who became one of my favorite professors and was a great guy and would call me out when I...

Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) President and CEO Patricia Harrison informed its 100 employees of the termination of their employment following Congress' termination of federal subsidies, saying "most of you will be off the payroll by the start of the new fiscal year (October 1, 2025) the rest will stay until the end of the calendar year to oversee an orderly shut down of operations." The termination of subsidies followed testimony to Congress from Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) CEO Paula Kerger and National Public Radio (NPR) President and CEO Katherine Maher. Kerger attempted to refute allegations of political bias by...

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem's effort to end the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) of tens of thousands of migrants in the United States from Honduras, Nicaragua, and Nepal was challenged by the Soros-funded National Day Laborer Organizing Network on the grounds that "they are being targeted because they are non-white, non-Europeans." Noem defended the plan to end TPS saying "this temporary program was established by an executive order issued by President Clinton. The premise used to justify TPS was that these illegal immigrants faced significant risk of harm if they were deported to their home countries. Whether...

On January 28, President Trump issued an executive order declaring that "it is our policy to not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support gender transition for people under 19. As such, we will discontinue federal funding to medical institutions that provide this type of care and the Secretary of Health and Human Services, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law, shall rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures." California, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Rhode Island and Wisconsin are...

Citing Canada's plans to recognize a Palestinian state and the persistence of fentanyl smuggling over the border, President Trump imposed a 35% tariff on goods shipped into the US from Canada. "As it is now, Hamas bombards Israel whenever it wants to," Trump asserted. "Establishing it as a Palestinian state will only worsen the situation. Canada needs to be more responsible." Prime Minister Mark Carney took offense, saying "Canada's government is making historic investments in border security to arrest drug traffickers, take down transnational gangs, and end migrant smuggling. These include thousands of new law enforcement and border security officers,...

The beating of two whites by a mob of Blacks after the Cincinnati Jazz Festival was called "justified" by the City's Police Chief Terri Theetge. "Look, the two white individuals provoked the assault," she said. "First, the concert they all attended was a jazz concert. Jazz is Black music--invented by and for Black folks. The white folks were engaging in cultural appropriation by intruding on turf that didn't belong to them." "Second, the beatings were video taped by numerous individuals at the scene," Theetge pointed out. "This intrusion into police business precludes our opportunity to say there that isn't enough...

Former President Biden's Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) of 2021 appropriated $7.5 billion for the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula (NEVI) and the Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Discretionary Grant Program (CFI). Four years later all the money has been spent but only 384 EV charging stations have been built. That averages out at $19 million per station. The Trump Administration is refusing to commit any more funds to either NEVI or CFI. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy insisted that "it's time we stop wasting the taxpayers' money on this stuff. EVs are too expensive to compete against gasoline-fueled vehicles."...
