Minnesota Democrats have sided with the state’s Somali community despite evidence of widespread Somali fraud of taxpayers’ healthcare programs. Numerous investigations have uncovered billions in fraud among several of Minnesota’s overly generous welfare schemes. The cases of fraud are astounding. In one case, a group called “Feeding Our Future,” run by Somalis, bilked $250 million from the state. In another case, tens of millions were stolen from the state’s autism treatment program, again by Somalis. And in a third situation, more than $550 million was stolen from Minnesota’s coronavirus pandemic relief program. And these are just a few of the...

The lingering appeal of Isis as an idea in the Islamic world should not be dismissedIndications that the Islamic State (ISIS) has begun to employ artificial intelligence in its efforts to recruit new fighters should come as no surprise. At the height of its power a decade ago, Isis was characterized by its combination of having mastered the latest methods of communication with an ideology and praxis that seemed to have emerged wholesale from the deserts of 7th century Arabia. In 2014 and 2015, ISIS recruitment took place on Twitter and Facebook. YouTube was the favored platform for the dissemination...

In recent years, America has seen a wave of far-Left violence, from the murder of Charlie Kirk, to the shooting at an ICE facility in Texas; from attempts on Donald Trump’s life, to the killing of a healthcare CEO. Across the country, radical activists claim they’re fighting “fascism.” But their war is increasingly against ordinary citizens. In this film for GB News, Steven Edginton explores far-Left extremism. He speaks with an ex-member of Antifa, protestors outside of an ICE facility in Portland, and journalists documenting the dangerous rise in Left-wing extremism.

[TX] Gov. Greg Abbott is calling on law enforcement officials across North Texas to launch investigations into what he says may be illegal Sharia tribunals operating as rogue courts in Collin and Dallas counties. In a letter sent to local district attorneys, sheriffs, the Texas attorney general, and the Department of Public Safety, Abbott warned that certain entities may be “masquerading as legal ‘courts’ staffed with ‘judges’ issuing orders” that claim to bind individuals to Islamic law—actions he says could violate multiple state criminal statutes. Abbott noted that the First Amendment provides wide latitude for religious bodies to adjudicate internal...

Gov. Greg Abbott is escalating his actions against the Council on American-Islamic Relations and the Muslim Brotherhood, directing the Texas Department of Public Safety to launch criminal investigations into the organization and its affiliates. In a letter sent Thursday to DPS Director Freeman Martin, Abbott said CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood “have long made their goals clear: to forcibly impose Sharia law and establish Islam’s ‘mastership of the world.’” The governor accused the groups of supporting terrorism, engaging in intimidation, and attempting to subvert state law through radical activity. Abbott pointed to federal court findings linking CAIR to Hamas—including a...

Exposing the Truth Behind Gaza Casualty Figures: Impressive IDF Combatant-to-Non-Combatant RatioPublished: October 20, 2025In the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, accurate casualty reporting has become a weapon in the information war. Hamas, a terrorist organization notorious for its disregard for human life—including that of its own people—has consistently inflated and distorted fatality numbers to portray Israel as the aggressor committing indiscriminate violence. However, recent analyses based on Hamas' own data, cross-referenced with Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) reports, reveal a starkly different reality: a highly targeted campaign by Israel that has neutralized thousands of Hamas combatants while minimizing civilian harm....

TEL AVIV — The first-ever Miss Palestine contestant in the Miss Universe pageant married the son of Hamas’ most-wanted prisoner, Marwan Barghouti, and even named a child after him, The Post has learned. Nadeen Ayoub — who claims to be a 27-year-old US and Canadian citizen living in Dubai — is competing this week to represent Palestine, a territory the US and Israel don’t even recognize as a sovereign state. Strutting through preliminary rounds ahead of the pending pageant, Ayoub has kept most of her personal life under wraps — until now. Years-old screenshots and social media posts obtained by...

Somalis in Minnesota swindled millions in state Medicaid autism-care programs and sent the cash back to their homeland and its terror groups, investigators say. Breitbart News reported in July that nearly 100 autism clinics in Minnesota were being investigated for fraudulently billing Medicaid for treatment of children supposedly diagnosed with autism, most of it in connection with the rampantly corrupt Somali community around Minneapolis. But the fraud is far more widespread with far more money involved than was previously reported — all of which has been presided over by former Democrat Party vice-presidential nominee Gov. Tim Walz. The money paid...

Anti-Israel agitators who spread disruption at US colleges and were punished by authorities were awarded checks for $1,000 by a Muslim nonprofit, The Post has learned. The money was given to students who faced penalties for leading pro-Palestinian protests before and after the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7 2023, according to a bombshell report by the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) and the Intelligent Advocacy Network (IAN). The cash was awarded from a “Champions of Justice Fund,” set up by the California chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations’... NCRI and IAN told The Post they are demanding...

Who are the five doctors — one of them dead — under the scanner for allegedly being terrorists? At least four of them were allegedly part of the White-Collar Terror Module. Terror seems to have a new face in India: White-collar professionals respected worldwide for their reputation for saving lives — doctors. In less than a week, four doctors, apparently radicalised by Pakistan-based terror groups, have been arrested across northern and western India, while a fifth one has been accused of being the “suicide bomber” who was allegedly responsible for 11 other deaths caused by the car explosion near Delhi’s...

In a speech before the House of Commons on May 13, 1940, referencing the war against Nazi Germany, Winston Churchill stated, “What is our policy? … To wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark lamentable catalogue of human crime.” The Prussian military theorist Karl von Clausewitz once observed that “war is the continuation of politics by other means.” Various political and moral interpretations exist regarding what constitutes a “just war.” That usually depends on one’s point of view. As the saying goes, one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter. What if there were a country...
