Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Somali Welfare and Money Laundering

Newly discovered evidence indicates a relationship between the Governor of Minnesota, the source of Massive Money Laundering and the possible destination of this massive amount of “stolen” money.

In a January 9, 2026 announcement by the US Department of Treasury:

“WASHINGTON— In Minnesota, Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent announced several initiatives to combat rampant government benefits fraud in Minnesota, which has wasted billions of taxpayer dollars. These initiatives are designed to strengthen and safeguard the financial system and protect Minnesota taxpayers.

“President Trump has instructed the administration to bring accountability for the hardworking people of Minnesota,” said Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent. “Under Democratic Governor Tim Walz, welfare fraud has spiraled out of control. Billions of dollars intended for feeding hungry children, housing disabled seniors, and providing services for children in need were diverted to benefit Somali fraud rings.”

According to Fox News on January 10, 2026

“The scandal has already claimed Walz’s political career, forcing him to abandon his bid for re-election. But if he reckoned that quitting would somehow shield him from legal culpability, he is mistaken. There is mounting evidence that Walz was willfully complicit, deliberately refusing to expose or pursue the monumental thefts and, instead, launching aggressive measures to scuttle any legal scrutiny and criminal consequence.

The governor’s own state workers at the Department of Human Services issued a blistering statement blaming him as 100% responsible. Witnesses say he retaliated against whistleblowers and schemed to discredit the well-documented fraud reports.”

MORE BETRAYAL: House Votes to KEEP Funding Globalist NGO Responsible for Global Censorship and Domestic Propaganda — 81 Republicans Side With Democrats to Kill Defund Push

In yet another stunning display of Uniparty betrayal, the House of Representatives has voted to continue funneling taxpayer dollars to the shadowy National Endowment for Democracy (NED) – a globalist NGO notorious for meddling in foreign elections, fueling censorship worldwide, and even pushing domestic propaganda right here at home.

By a lopsided 127–291 vote, lawmakers rejected an amendment offered by Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ) to prohibit $315 million in funding for the NED as part of the FY2026 spending package.

Following the vote, a disgusted Rep. Eli Crane took to X to vent his frustrations with the rot inside the halls of Congress.

“The swamp is real. But we did pass the Shower Act this week. I could use one after spending so much time in this awful place,” Crane wrote.

He followed up with a stinging rebuke of the 81 Republicans who turned their backs on the base:

“Tonight, the Uniparty rejected my amendment to defund NED. 81 ‘Republicans’ voted with Democrats to fund this rogue organization that fuels global censorship and domestic propaganda. We will keep fighting.”

Judge’s Conduct in “We Build the Wall” Case Draws Scrutiny After Timothy Shea Conviction – Tim’s Family Speaks Out

The federal prosecution of Timothy Shea in the “We Build the Wall” case continues to raise serious questions about judicial conduct, jury integrity, defense representation, and sentencing fairness following Shea’s 2023 conviction in the Southern District of New York.

Shea was indicted in August 2020 alongside Stephen Bannon, Brian Kolfage, and Andrew Badolato in connection with the nonprofit organization that raised private funds to construct sections of a border wall. Shea was listed fourth on the indictment and prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York. The case was presided over by U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres.

In January 2021, then-President Donald Trump pardoned Bannon, effectively removing him from federal prosecution. Shea, a Colorado resident who lives in Castle Rock with his wife of 20 years and their three children, ultimately became the only defendant from the original indictment to face trial and incarceration.

Mistrial and Concerns Over Judicial Impartiality

Shea’s first trial in 2022 ended in a mistrial after a week of testimony and more than a week of jury deliberations. Immediately after the jury was dismissed, Judge Torres stated from the bench that she was available the following week to retry the case.

Defense attorneys viewed the remark as improper, noting that the decision to retry a case rests solely with prosecutors, not the court. The comment, they argued, suggested a predisposition toward continuing the prosecution rather than maintaining judicial neutrality.

Several months later, Shea was retried and convicted. What followed intensified concerns about the integrity of the proceedings.

Ukraine Braves Grueling Winter in the Cold and Dark, as Relentless Russian Strikes Take Power Generation and Energy Grid to the Brink

‘Hello, Darkness, my old friend.’

We have reported multiple times on the relentless combined air campaign by Russian forces that is targeting Ukraine’s power plants and energy grid, and leaving swaths of the population in the cold and dark during a grueling winter.

But now, we’ve come to the point where Kiev’s CHPP-5 (combined heat and power plant) and CHPP-6 can’t even be fully restored after a massive ballistic missile strike before the next one hits.

Lights have been out in much of Kiev and many other large cities, and there isn’t much room for improvement.

Simplicius on Substack:

“One of the most noteworthy aspects of the last strike on Kiev was the notable absence of any major air defense action. Video footage of only one ‘Patriot’ missile launching and self-destructing in the sky soon after emerged, but beyond this, Ukrainian defenses over Kiev appeared dismal compared to previous strikes, signifying a likely exhaustion of resources.”

US sees negative net migration for first time in 50 years during 2025

The United States experienced negative net migration in 2025 for the first time in more than five decades as the Trump administration continues a sweeping crackdown on immigration.

In a report released Tuesday by the Brookings Institution, the shift was driven by a combination of stepped-up immigration enforcement, removals of illegal immigrants, voluntary departures, but most significantly a sharp decline in new entries into the country over the past year.

“We estimate net flows of -295,000 to -10,000 for the year,” the study said. “Though a high degree of policy uncertainty remains, continued negative net migration for 2026 is also likely.”

The Trump administration has moved aggressively to reduce both illegal and legal immigration since returning to office. It has suspended or scaled back a range of humanitarian programs, including refugee admissions, with limited exceptions.

Brookings estimated that between 310,000 and 315,000 removals occurred in the United States in 2025. That figure is substantially lower than the number the Trump administration has publicly claimed, and only slightly higher than the roughly 285,000 removals recorded in 2024.

The report noted that the nature of removals has shifted compared with prior years. In fiscal year 2024, only 18 percent of Immigration and Customs Enforcement removals were initiated by ICE rather than U.S. Customs and Border Protection, meaning most deportations involved recent border crossers. Comparable statistics have not yet been released for 2025.

“At 310,000 to 315,000, the 2025 removals are not much higher than the 2024 removals of around 285,000,” the report said. “The nature of these removals has changed, however.”

Brookings added that while ICE has drawn most of the national attention, border statistics and other evidence indicate that most removals in 2025 involved individuals already living in the country’s interior.

Pam Bondi Says Minnesota Prosecutors Didn’t Quit — “I FIRED THEM ALL” After Refusing to Cooperate with ICE and Demanding Taxpayer-Funded Paid “Vacation” Till April

The narrative pushed by the corporate media has officially collapsed.

After early reports claimed that at least six prosecutors in the Minneapolis U.S. Attorney’s Office had “resigned in protest” over the Justice Department’s actions following the fatal shooting of ICE protester Renee Nicole Good, Attorney General Pam Bondi stepped in and set the record straight.

Earlier this week, it was reported that at least six prosecutors in the Minneapolis U.S. Attorney’s Office had resigned in protest.

They were allegedly upset over the Justice Department’s push to investigate the ties between Renee Nicole Good, who was killed in a clear act of self-defense by an ICE agent, and radical groups that “monitor and disrupt” federal law enforcement.

According to The New York Times, the group of ousted attorneys includes

  • Joe Thompson (Former Acting U.S. Attorney)
  • Harry Jacobs
  • Melinda Williams
  • Thomas Calhoun-Lopez
  • Ruth Schneider
  • Tom Hollenhurst

During a bombshell appearance on Hannity, Bondi revealed that the prosecutors attempted to quit on their own terms while demanding to use taxpayer-funded leave through April.

They wanted to walk out on law enforcement and get paid to go on vacation.

Trump Reportedly Says Ukraine’s Zelensky, and Not Russia’s Putin, Is Holding up the Peace Deal: REUTERS

Zelensky and his EU Globalists do what they can to impede peace, and cling to some non-starter proposals.

Ever since February 2025, in the infamous Oval Office heated on-camera argument between Donald J. Trump and Kiev regime leader Volodymyr Zelensky, it was clear that the US President knew that Ukraine didn’t have the cards, and should settle with Russia as fast as possible, lest they lose more and more territory.

The assessment proved totally correct.

We have been diligently reporting here on TGP on Trump’s peace push for the Russia-Ukraine war ever since before he was inaugurated.

But one aspect stood out: Zelensky didn’t negotiate like the losing party that he is, but rather as the golden boy of Globalism that he also is.

NYC Advisor Seeks to End All Homeownership

Socialist NYC Mayor Zohan Mamdani appointed Cea Weaver to lead the city’s Office to Protect Tenants. Weaver believes that homeownership is inherently racist and must be reformed into “a world in which the housing is owned by a collective.” According to Weaver, the US can simply continually print money to support government spending.

The claim that a government can simply print money to support endless spending is one of the most dangerous myths ever sold to the public. When politicians have exhausted every honest means of funding government, they are left with nothing but deception. This line of thinking is precisely why the government shut down at the end of 2025. Politicians believe they can increase spending indefinitely with no regard for the ticking time bomb that is government debt.

Printing money is another form of taxation, albeit a far more destructive form because it is hidden. Inflation will rise when the money supply expands beyond productive output. Governments print to fund their spending and dilute the currency. Politicians have lost all discipline because government continually votes to raise budgets and prolong the problem. The debt crisis has been rapidly snowballing in magnitude; those in power have zero intention of paying it off, but the time will come when the bill is due.

The irony is that those advocating unlimited money creation claim it helps the poor. In reality, it does the opposite. Inflation destroys savings, raises prices beyond reach, and transfers wealth to the elites controlling the money. It widens inequality while pretending to fight it. Hence why Venezuela went from one of the world’s top economies to poverty-ridden nation in a short period of time. These people are extremely dangerous. Voters propel them into power on the basis of lies, and then they have the ability to begin altering policies. Mamdani may be limited to his city but no economy can be viewed in isolation and voters refuse to see the mirage of easy solutions to complex problems.

Socialist Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson’s campaign fined for failing to disclose parent-funded childcare contributions

Socialist Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson’s campaign was fined by the Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission for failing to properly disclose more than $10,000 in campaign-related childcare expenses, expenses which were paid for by her parents. Her husband was “voluntarily” unemployed.

According to a formal enforcement letter from the commission obtained by The Ari Hoffman Show on Talk Radio 570 KVI, the “Wilson for Mayor” campaign failed to timely report in-kind contributions from Wilson’s parents, who covered childcare costs during the campaign. Because the contributions were not initially disclosed and exceeded Seattle’s contribution limits, the commission imposed a $250 civil penalty.

The campaign later amended its filings and refunded the portion of the childcare payments that exceeded allowable limits. While the fine itself was small, the ruling reinforces prior reporting about Wilson’s reliance on family money while presenting herself as a struggling, working-class candidate.

In October, KUOW reported that Wilson’s parents, both professors in New York, were helping cover childcare costs while her husband was voluntarily unemployed. Wilson simultaneously claimed she was running for mayor because she could “barely afford to live in Seattle.”

Wilson, who dropped out of Oxford University just weeks before graduation, debt-free thanks to family funding, would not disclose at the time how much she was receiving from her parents and built a political persona centered on economic hardship despite a significant safety net. She told the outlet, “They send me a check periodically to help with the child care expenses,” acknowledging what she called the “immense privilege” of growing up in a “secure, academic household.”

Wilson told KUOW that she “cut herself off” from her parents’ money when she moved to Seattle in 2004, but later resumed taking parental checks to support her lifestyle and childcare costs. Despite branding herself as a voice for the downtrodden, her nonprofit, the Transit Riders Union, paid her nearly $73,000 in 2022 according to tax filings, yet her city financial disclosure listed up to $100,000 in income for the same period. When asked by the outlet about the discrepancy, Wilson said it “must be an error.” As mayor, Wilson now makes in excess of $230,000 a year.

H*LL ON EARTH: Minneapolis Rioters DESTROY and LOOT ICE and FBI Vehicles, STEAL Sensitive Documents and Ammunition While Local Cops Do NOTHING

President Trump is at his wits’ end over the complete lawlessness in what was once one of America’s greatest cities, following the latest riot, and is threatening to declare martial law, essentially.

Perhaps the worst violence and anarchy in Minneapolis occurred last night as radical leftists continue to tear the city apart over the presence of ICE and in response to last week’s self-defense shooting of a left-wing protester. Rioters terrorized ICE and FBI agents in just about every way imaginable short of assaulting them, while local cops unsurprisingly let it happen.

Journalist Nick Sortor was on scene covering all of the mayhem.

The evening started badly enough with rioters looting and destroying FBI and ICE vehicles, forcing agents to abandon them.
