White House Nukes Governor “Tampon Tim” Walz Highlighting Minnesota Practice of Allowing Unregistered Voters to Vote if Someone Vouches for Them

The White House communications team lit up Minnesota Governor Tim Walz on Friday over Minnesota’s election “vouching” system, which allows same-day voter registration without proof of residency or citizenship. 

The rule allows unregistered voters to arrive at the polling location on election day, register, and cast a ballot without any proof of citizenship or residency, so long as someone “vouches” for them. One individual may vouch for up to eight registrants who do not have the required documentation.

The Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division fired off a letter to the Minnesota Secretary of State earlier this year, seeking records to ensure compliance with federal election laws. The DOJ requested records for all federal elections held in the 22 months prior, including the 2024 general and primary elections. “The Department of Justice is particularly concerned with votes and registrations accepted on the basis of ‘vouching’ from other registered voters or residential facility employees,” the DOJ wrote.

Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon previously defended the voucher program, claiming, “I cannot recall a single instance of a false vouching because people know they’re making an oath under penalty of perjury.”

Christian Physician Assistant Fired for Resisting Transgender Dogma Gets $410,000 Lawsuit Settlement

A Michigan physician assistant (PA) who alleged she was fired after refusing to comply with hospital transgender policies because of her religious beliefs is receiving a $410,000 settlement in her wrongful termination lawsuit.

Valerie Kloosterman sued University of Michigan Health-West (UMHW) filed suit in 2022 after she was fired in August 2021, alleging the 200-bed suburban Grand Rapids teaching hospital was requiring her to go against her conscience as a Christian.

“All I wanted to do was provide the best care possible to my patients without being forced to violate my Christian beliefs,” Kloosterman said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

She was represented in the lawsuit by First Liberty Institute, which documented that Kloosterman had “received positive performance reviews throughout her employment before raising faith-based objections to mandatory gender identity training,” the news outlet reported.

The legal advocacy nonprofit reported she was terminated after requesting a religious accommodation from finishing training that “required her to affirm statements about gender identity that were in violation of her Christian faith.”

No effort was made to accommodate her, according to the institute which takes on civil rights cases to “reclaim religious freedom in America.”

According to Fox Digital’s report:

The lawsuit says University of Michigan Health-West officials called her to a meeting, where they disparaged her religious beliefs, called her “evil” and a “liar,” told her she could not bring her Christian beliefs into the workplace, and accused her of contributing to suicides among individuals with gender dysphoria.

The settlement also calls on the hospital to prevent such punitive behavior from happening again.

Under its terms, UMHW has agreed to formulate a religious accommodation policy that complies with the law, inform and train all employees, and give reasonable religious accommodations without retribution to those who request it, the institute said.

“This new policy ensures that providers of faith and employees at UMHW will receive religious accommodations so that they can provide excellent care consistent with their medical judgment, because all patients are created in the image of God,” Kloosterman said in her statement to Fox News Digital.

The PA’s lawsuit was not a frivolous pursuit, her attorney said, but based on Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits discrimination on several characteristics, including race and religion.

“Title VII prohibits employers from discriminating against and punishing employees for their faith,” Kayla Toney, counsel at First Liberty, said in a statement shared with Fox News Digital.

She continued, “Valerie is an exceptional physician assistant who cares for each of her patients. Employers cannot drive out people like Valerie just because of their sincere religious beliefs. We are grateful to have resolved this matter with University of Michigan Health-West.”

Bomb Kills Three at Moscow Restaurant During Reported Russian General’s Birthday Party

An explosive device detonated Saturday evening at the Balzi Rossi, an upscale restaurant in Moscow’s Kudrinskaya Square, killing three people and injuring at least 15 others. Russia’s National Anti-Terrorism Committee confirmed an IED was responsible, dismissing initial reports of a gas leak.

The blast occurred around 8 p.m. local time. The restaurant, located on the ground floor of one of Moscow’s iconic Stalin-era skyscrapers, had been closed for a private event. According to Russia’s Kommersant newspaper, citing law enforcement sources, an unidentified woman approached the restaurant carrying a box she described as a gift for the guests. When a security guard opened it, it exploded.

Multiple Russian and Ukrainian Telegram channels reported the private event was a birthday celebration for Colonel General Alexander Chaiko, Commander-in-Chief of Russia’s Aerospace Forces, who was turning 55. Witnesses described numerous government vehicles with black military license plates parked outside, along with a National Guard bus. Those reports have not been officially confirmed by Russian authorities, who have not named the intended target.

Video footage from the scene showed shattered windows, debris across the entrance, and heavily armed law enforcement officers securing the perimeter as emergency crews searched the building.

The attack is the latest in a series of security failures inside Russia. In recent weeks, Ukrainian drone strikes have penetrated deep into Russian territory, including an attack that destroyed more than $2 billion in inventory at warehouses belonging to online retailer Wildberries. The Kremlin also cancelled its annual Navy Day parade in St. Petersburg citing concerns over Ukrainian drone threats.

No group has claimed responsibility for the Moscow restaurant bombing. An investigation is underway.

Newsom’s Release of Tax Returns Called ‘an Insult to Transparency’

Gov. Gavin Newsom of California released four years of federal tax returns this week to carefully selected news outlets — a disclosure which one news outlet slammed as “sneaky” and an “insult to transparency.”

The release was prompted “in part by a federal investigation into the finances of his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom,” aides told the New York Times, one of the few publications tapped to view and report on the returns.

That’s the rub, critics said.

The California Post reported Saturday that the governor “only permitted a small group of favored media outlets to pore over 718 pages of documents while forbidding them from making copies,” a move it headlined as “sneaky” and the process an “insult to transparency.”

The Post, which had lobbied for their release, was not one of the chosen few.

In 2024, the most recent year released, the Newsoms reported a taxable income of about $1.39 million, $1 million of that from investments, according to the Times’ reporting on Friday.

The governor’s taxable wages from his salary as governor were about $192,000. According to that report “his wife’s wages were about $148,000.”

Until this week, Newsom and his wife have not released returns since he ran for reelection in 2022, though when he was first elected governor he promised to release them annually–but failed to do so, the Times noted.

His office told the newspaper that the new release was in response to “right-wing claims” that the couple enriched themselves during his time in office.

The Post and others, however, took umbrage at the methodology of the disclosure. The paper reported the release was made at a “carefully managed private media event Thursday in Sacramento.”

“Media outlets including the New York Times and Politico, whose reporters were ordered to use only a pen and paper to take notes on the documents, agreed to publish their findings Friday morning,” the Post wrote in its Saturday edition.

The Times confirmed that restricted note-taking scenario as well.

The Post published comments from two critical congressmen from the Golden State.

“If the governor is truly committed to transparency, it makes little sense to pick and choose who that transparency extends to,” Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA), a former state legislator, told the tabloid. “This appears to be another Newsom story where the factual details are very different from the self-proclaimed headline.”

Rep. James Gallagher (R-CA) also weighed in, saying, “Newsom’s transparency is a lot like his homelessness policy — it leaves a lot to be desired.”

He continued, “He talks big about things but never actually delivers. This is another instance of that — only allowing select people and only pen and paper. This isn’t real transparency. There are still a lot of questions where Gavin’s money comes from.”

According to the Times:

The returns, which were released for 2021 through 2024, show that Mr. Newsom’s finances have been fairly stable over the years, except in 2021, when the family’s income received a $1 million boost after they sold a multimillion-dollar home. Mr. Newsom has filed for an extension to file his 2025 return, which is due in October.

Tax returns often do not indicate how much a person’s wealth has grown through investments and business holdings. Many asset classes grew substantially in value between 2021 and 2024, yet the Newsoms’ income remained roughly the same. The governor and his wife both have significant investments in blind trusts, and only the income from those investments was reflected in the tax returns.

The couple, the Times reported, earned the bulk of their joint income from the governor’s investment in the wine and hospitality industry, held in a blind trust. His wife’s income stemmed from nonprofits with which she is associated.

The governor, who published his memoir Young Man in a Hurry, also earned $70,000 as an author in 2023 and $75,000 in $2024, presumably as advances for that book or royalties for a children’s book he also wrote.

Over the period released, the couple’s donations to charity ranged from a low of $40,000 in 2021 to a high of $67,000 in 2023. The names of organizations receiving cash were withheld, according to the Times, while recipients of non-cash donations were included.

One such donation was “Armani business wear” to a justice nonprofit in Oakland, the clothing costing them $45,000 but listed at a “thrift shop value” of only $4900. Other donations like toys and furniture went to Goodwill Industries.

The couple also paid additional taxes for domestic staff members and babysitters, reportedly paying nearly $200,000 in wages for household employees in 2024.

The returns came especially into focus after the governor disclosed recently that he and his wife are subjects of a federal investigation, which he claims is politically motivated.

Newsom in the past has accused the administration of weaponizing the Justice Department against him because he is a likely contender in the 2028 presidential election.

GOP Rep. Andy Ogles to File Articles of Impeachment Against Obama Judge For Blocking Trump Admin From Ending Temporary Protected Status For Somalis

GOP Rep. Andy Ogles (TN) said he will file Articles of Impeachment against Judge Allison Burroughs on Monday for blocking the Trump Administration from ending

A federal judge on Friday once again blocked the Trump Administration from terminating Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Somalis.

The termination was supposed to take effect on March 17, however, a federal judge previously halted the termination.

On Friday, US District Judge Allison Burroughs, an Obama appointee, issued a new administrative stay after the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint and an emergency motion.

There are more than 100,000 Somalis living in the US. An estimated 5,000 Somalis are eligible for Temporary Protected Status.

Judge Burroughs’ order came after the US Supreme Court ruled that the Trump Administration is allowed to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for hundreds of thousands of Haitians and Syrians.

The high court, in a 6-3 vote, ruled that the Temporary Protected Status is… temporary.

Spanish Socialist Leader Sánchez Accuses Fellow EU Leaders of Being ‘Selfish’ over Response to Ceuta Migrant Crisis

Socialist Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has accused fellow European Union leaders of being “selfish” for expressing concerns and enacting border restrictions in the wake of tens of thousands of illegal migrants flooding into Ceuta this week.

The North African city of Ceuta, which stands as a territorial exclave of Spain bordering Morocco, was overrun this week by a flood of aliens seeking to reach European Union territory. Estimates put the number of illegal entries at upwards of 60,000, overwhelming the border protections and nearly equalling the entire population of the city within just days.

The dramatic scenes of tens of thousands of African migrants breaching the gates of EU territory recalled memories of the Europe Migrant Crisis of 2015 and immediately sparked a wave of condemnations of the Socialist government in Madrid from fellow EU leaders, who demanded that Spain protect their common border. Some went even further, with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni enacting emergency border controls with Spain, suspending the free movement under the Schengen agreement.

On Saturday, a group of 22 European leaders issued a letter calling for an emergency meeting on the issue of Ceuta. The leaders warned of the potential “repercussions of uncontrolled crossings of the border” at the Spanish exclave, which the letter argued, “may encourage other attempts of this kind.”

“We cannot allow massive and uncontrolled crossings, the instrumentalisation of migration, or other hybrid threats that create the perception that it is possible to enter the European Union illegally and that an illegal entry can later become a legal stay,” the letter stated.

In a letter of his own, addressed to EU Commission Chief Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President António Costa, Prime Minister Sánchez claims that within two days, his government has “fully restored control of the border” and has returned “almost all” illegal immigrants who crossed in recent days, while accusing his critics of being “selfish”.

The Spanish PM said per El Mundo that the decision to impose border restrictions was motivated by “prejudices, fake news, ignorance, or political interests,” and goes against “European Law, humanitarian Law, and the principles of solidarity” among member states.

Idaho: Previously deported Mexican national charged with repeated sexual assault of young child

A previously deported Mexican national is facing multiple felony charges in Idaho following allegations of repeated sexual abuse involving a young child over a span of five years, state and federal law enforcement authorities confirmed.

The suspect, identified as 48-year-old Jose Oliver Mendoza-Colindres, was taken into custody after an investigation led by local law enforcement revealed a pattern of abuse that began when the victim was just 3-years-old.

The exact relationship between Mendoza-Colindres and the victim has not been publicly disclosed by law enforcement or in charging documents.

The investigation unfolded after deputies from the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office attended a forensic interview at a child care center in Pocatello. During the disclosure interview, the underage victim detailed multiple instances of sexual abuse purportedly committed by Mendoza-Colindres between the ages of 3 and 8.

“I’m showing you my love,” Mendoza-Colindres reportedly told the young child during the abuse.

According to Border Hawk, in 2020, the victim’s father even caught him sexually abusing his child during a party. “A physical altercation involving the child’s mother ensued,” the outlet noted.

“Court documents state the victim’s parents did not report the incident because they were unsure if the victim would remember the incident at her age and did not want to traumatize her. In addition, documents state the victim’s parents were concerned about the victim’s father’s immigration status,” as reported by East Idaho News.

Following the victim’s account and subsequent preliminary findings, law enforcement moved swiftly to arrest the suspect. Mendoza-Colindres has since been formally charged in Idaho state court with one count of sexual abuse of a minor under the age of 16 and two counts of lewd conduct with a minor under the age of 16.

According to records released by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Mendoza-Colindres has a history of illegal entries into the United States.

Federal records suggest that he first entered the U.S. illegally through Texas in 2002 and was formally deported back to Mexico. However, Mendoza-Colindres later re-entered the country unlawfully near California in 2007 and remained in the U.S. undetected until his recent arrest in Idaho.

On July 26th, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged an immigration detainer with Idaho detention authorities, formally requesting that state officials hold Mendoza-Colindres and notify federal agents prior to any potential release.

DHS officials emphasized that since local jurisdictions in Idaho actively cooperate with federal immigration detainers, ICE intends to assume custody of the suspect to pursue deportation proceedings once state criminal charges and any resulting judicial sentences are fully resolved.

Mendoza-Colindres remains in custody awaiting further court proceedings on his state felony charges.

Allegations, Secrecy, and the Fight for Justice in the Wisconsin Air National Guard

A colonel in the Air National Guard (ANG), who had nearly 35 years of service, was relieved of her command in 2021, coincidentally at a time when one of her subordinates was disseminating nude, explicit photographs.

Colonel Leslie Zyzda-Martin is the former commander of Wisconsin’s Volk Field Air National Guard Base. Her story highlights a troubling intersection of military culture, accountability, and the challenges faced by those who dare to stand against misconduct. Unable to clear her record amid suspicious circumstances, Zyzda-Martin was forced into retirement in October 2024. Three years later, she is still struggling to clear her name under dubious circumstances.

It is essential to recall the context leading up to this incident: Major General Donald Dunbar resigned in 2019 at the urging of Governor Tony Evers (D-WI). His resignation followed a federal investigation that uncovered a decade’s worth of mismanagement of sexual assault complaints by Wisconsin National Guard leaders. The Guard not only failed to follow military procedures by neglecting to track cases or guarantee that both victims and accused individuals were afforded due process, but they also attempted to conceal the situation.

The National Guard Bureau’s (NGB) Office of Complex Investigations (OCI) found that the “programs and systems for handling allegations of sexual assault, sexual harassment, and other workplace or service-related misconduct (emphasis mine) were non-compliant with federal law and regulation, and in various respects, deficient or failing.”

Zyzda-Martin was interviewed on at least two occasions by Inspector General personnel concerning allegations of wrongdoing committed by then-NGB Brigadier General Chad Parker. Little did she know, this would likely play a significant factor in her removal from command two years later.

In 2020, Zyzda-Martin stepped into a challenging environment, finding herself ensnared in a web of unsubstantiated allegations and a lack of transparency from superiors. At the time, the ANG colonel was serving at the Pentagon on a Title 10 tour at the National Guard Bureau in the Intelligence Directorate when she was offered the opportunity to apply for a command position with the Wisconsin Air National Guard.

“I took that job and found a base that was not within standards and ill-equipped,” Zyzda-Martin told The Gateway Pundit. She characterized the military installation as “a sleepy base,” and, on the heels of the 2019 scandal, her goal was to restore U.S. Air Force (USAF) standards to the base. However, her earnest efforts were met with resistance, culminating in four complaints against her, all of which were later found to be unsubstantiated.

Chaos Agent: Anthony Fauci Represents A System That Needs To Be Cleansed

I think nothing enrages Americans more than a lack of accountability from government officials. Yes, it happens often, and the public hasn’t taken up torches and pitchforks (yet), but I would point out that these incidents are cumulative and they light a growing fire within the collective memory. Eventually, people are going to snap if they don’t see action taken to rectify past wrongs.

This week, Dr. Anthony Fauci faced a flurry of questions from the Senate Homeland Security Committee over his handling of the covid response as well as his involvement in the gain of function research which likely led to the creation of the viral variant that spread around the world and nearly triggered a permanent Orwellian police state.

Fauci pleaded the Fifth over 100 times.  It’s not a sign of confidence in his own innocence.

He knows he’s untouchable legally, but I think what the man fears most is public judgment, and he’s not going to offer any confirmation that conservatives and the alternative media were right about him all along.  Unfortunately, even with substantial evidence, there is very little that any congressional committee or even the Trump Administration can do about him.

Fauci is well protected, and not just by the sweeping pardon “signed” by Joe Biden which covers the Doctor back to 2014. No, Fauci is also protected by the system – The bureaucracy and the globalist network of which he is a member.  Fauci is a chaos agent and he served his purpose well. They’re not going to let him face punishment.  If they did, then they might find it harder to procure the cooperation and loyalty of other bureaucrats in future schemes.

Unlicensed Trans Funeral Home Director Accused of Stealing $2.2M Estate and Keeping Organs in Bucket Confronted by Reporters in Court: “Im a Celebrity. Get Out of My Face B*tch”

A Houston funeral home director appeared in court on Friday on multiple felony charges involving a scheme to steal more than $2.2 million from a deceased man’s estate. 

Unique Mica Green-Battle is accused of forging documents to claim he is the spouse and successor of the victim, Lawrence Gammon. The forged documents include a fake will, a falsified death certificate, forged probate documents, and fraudulent filings used to gain control of the estate, according to Fox 26.

Police executed a search warrant of Green-Battle’s business in November 2025 after families accused the funeral home of mishandling corpses and committing fraud.

During a search of the business, investigators reportedly found human organs in a bucket and boxes of cremated remains.

Green-Battle was also operating the business without a license after the license expired in 2021 and was revoked in August 2025.

The apparently trans funeral director appeared in court on Friday, where a judge set bond at $800,000. Green-Battle was released after posting the bond.

“Court documents dating back to 1998 list Green-Battle at different times as male and female. The Chronicle could not confirm Green-Battle’s gender identity or pronouns. Harris County Jail records listed Green-Battle under the name Michael James Green as of Wednesday morning,” the Houston Chronicle reported.
