    It frames recent events as major political and momentum victories for Trump, the MAGA movement, and Republican priorities. Here's a concise breakdown of the main points: 1. FBI Corruption Probe of Prominent Democrat (Biggest Highlight) The FBI raided the office of Virginia State Senate President Pro Tem L. Louise Lucas (a powerful Democrat) and a cannabis dispensary she co-owns in Portsmouth. It's described as part of a major corruption investigation with court-approved warrants. Lucas denied wrongdoing and appeared stunned. Democrats called it politically motivated (especially given her role in recent redistricting that favored Democrats), while the video portrays it as...

    Last week, the FBI raided 22 shady day-care businesses in Minneapolis, Minn., as the federal government expanded its investigation of social-services fraud there. On Monday, Vice President JD Vance added Columbus, Ohio, to his fraud task force’s agenda in the wake of a new report alleging a billion-dollar Medicaid scam. Both investigations were spurred by the dogged work of citizen and independent journalists like Nick Shirley in Minneapolis and Luke Rosiak in Columbus, who knocked on doors and interviewed dozens of supposed service providers to uncover the truth about fraudsters who may have bilked the federal government of billions. And...

    From millionaires to overseas foreigners, from NFL players to luxury car owners, our money is going to everyone but us. ou’d think that the recent find of 34,000 deceased North Carolinians still registered to vote would be bad enough, but Epoch Times reported 5,000 deceased people are also receiving SNAP benefits. This sounds like the plot of a B-rate horror movie: “Night of the Voting/Eating Dead.” SNAP is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program providing benefits to people, like food stamps. USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins stated that SNAP is one of the “most corrupt, dysfunctional programs” in U.S. history, with 80%...

    The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is ramping up efforts to crack down on food stamp fraud nationwide, targeting what officials say is a loophole allowing some wealthy individuals to qualify for government benefits. Secretary Brooke Rollins posted on X this week that a single state has 14,000 individuals on SNAP benefits who also drive luxury vehicles like Ferraris, Bentleys and Lamborghinis. She warned fraudsters the USDA is working to close a loophole under the Broad-Based Categorical Eligibility policy used to qualify for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits despite having the financial means to purchase cars for hundreds of...

  • The US is short 10 million houses. A new White House report lays out a blueprint to fix that

    Associated Press ^ | 04/18/2026 | Josh Boak
    White House economists estimate the United States has a shortage of 10 million houses, according to a new report out Monday — and say regulatory cuts could lead to more construction to stabilize prices, increase home ownership and fuel faster economic growth. The analysis, part of the Economic Report of the President, outlines both a political risk and a messaging opportunity for President Donald Trump, whose public approval has slumped because of concerns about his tariffs, the Iran war and his unfulfilled promises to slash inflation and unleash stronger growth. Trump signed two executive orders in March directing federal agencies...

    There’s a new forecast of the Social Security boost retirees should expect in 2027 - and it’s a huge disappointment for the millions of Americans who depend on their bi-monthly benefit checks... Older Americans absolutely rely on this so-called ‘cost of living adjustment’ or COLA, since more than 40 percent of them depend on Social Security alone for all of their retirement income. The new estimate of the forthcoming official 2027 cost-of-living adjustment shows the average Social Security benefit check will only rise by $56, or roughly 2.8 percent. The average benefits check for retired workers would increase to $2,081...

The White House is talking to congressional leaders of both parties about a massive stimulus package to blunt the impact of the coronavirus crisis. The proposal includes sending payments directly to Americans totaling $500 billion, broken up into two tranches. “The first one would be $1,000 per person, $500 per child,” Mnuchin said. “So for a family of four, that’s a $3,000 payment. ============================================================================= Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Thursday laid out details of the Trump administration’s plan to...

    In an expose written by senior fellow Christopher Rufo at the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research for the Institute's City Journal he wrote "experts and Health & Human Services officials estimated that fraud has consumed between $180 billion and $280 billion of public funds meant to provide heath care, unemployment benefits and general welfare payments." "While the state's indifferent and careless administration of these programs is the primary culprit, the lax enforcement of the federal government under Biden, and now Trump, bears a share of the blame," Rufo asserted. "Thousands of reports from whistleblowers led to fewer than 100 prosecutions."...
