Trump Puts Bounty on Government Fraud With New Whistleblower Reward Program

Tuesday afternoon, President Donald Trump announced a new initiative aimed at rooting out fraud in federal government programs — and Americans who help uncover it could receive a financial reward.

During an Oval Office event alongside Vice President JD Vance and other administration officials, Trump unveiled the Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program, which will allow Americans to report suspected corruption and theft of taxpayer dollars in their communities.

Under the program, whistleblowers may receive a commission of 1 percent of the fraud uncovered, according to the announcement. The administration also announced a $25 million fund for the initiative, with individual rewards advertised at up to $30,000.

The administration is directing Americans to America.gov/fraud, where they can submit reports of suspected fraud involving government programs.

Trump pointed to several examples of fraud and improper payments that his administration says it has identified, including 160,000 deceased individuals removed from food stamp rolls, 275,000 illegal aliens removed from Social Security, and 562,000 fraudulent small-business loans discovered.

He also cited the elimination of $125 billion in Obamacare subsidies for foreign migrants and the termination of funding to hundreds of allegedly fraudulent hospice facilities that he said had received $1.4 billion.

California Man Who Blamed ICE for Wife’s Disappearance Charged with Her Murder After Her Burned Remains Were Discovered — His Story Collapses as Detectives Uncover Shocking Details

A California man who claimed that federal immigration agents had taken his wife from their home is now facing a murder charge after investigators discovered her burned remains in a neighboring county.

And the agency he pointed the finger at, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), had nothing to do with her disappearance, according to investigators.

Gurinder Singh Gill, 28, was arrested on October 14 in connection with the death of his wife, 30-year-old Jasmine Gill, after Sacramento County Sheriff’s detectives uncovered major inconsistencies in his account, Local 12 reported.

According to the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office, Gurinder initially told detectives that ICE agents had taken Jasmine into custody while she was checking the mail outside their Sacramento residence.

There was just one major problem with his story.

ICE confirmed that no immigration enforcement activity had taken place at the residence.

The allegation that federal immigration agents were responsible for Jasmine’s disappearance began to unravel as detectives investigated her whereabouts.

And what authorities ultimately uncovered was far more disturbing than the husband’s original claim.

Jasmine Gill was last seen at her Sacramento residence on September 30, 2026.

Four days later, on October 4, her cousin reported her missing to authorities.

As detectives investigated, they questioned Gurinder about his wife’s whereabouts. He maintained that ICE agents had detained her outside their home.

But investigators contacted the federal agency directly, and ICE denied conducting any enforcement operation at the property.

According to the sheriff’s office, detectives subsequently discovered multiple inconsistencies in Gurinder’s statements.

Investigators also learned that the couple was involved in an ongoing divorce and child custody dispute.

Meanwhile, authorities in neighboring El Dorado County had made a horrifying discovery.

On October 1, just one day after Jasmine was last seen alive, burned human remains were discovered in the county.

The remains were subsequently identified as Jasmine Gill.

With the evidence mounting, homicide detectives obtained a warrant for Gurinder’s arrest on suspicion of murder.

Trump DOJ Takes California to Task After State Admits in Court They Have No Way of Verifying Citizenship Beyond What Voters Attest – Newsom’s Office Responds

California admitted in federal court that the state has no way of verifying citizenship beyond what voters attest.

First Assistant US Attorney Bill Essayli took California to task on Tuesday afternoon following the damning admission.

Via Bill Essayli: Massive concession: Los Angeles election officials just told a federal court they have no independent way to verify citizenship beyond what voters attest. (They simply take their word for it.) Under federal law, only citizens may vote in federal elections. Yet California has not acted on the list of 20,000 suspected noncitizens or agreed to set aside their ballots. American citizens’ votes are being diluted in California.

Newsom’s office responded to Bill Essayli and mocked his position as the First Assistant US Attorney.

Bill Essayli hit back at Newsom’s office by citing federal law.

DHS Chief Markwayne Mullin Goes Off on the ‘Prophet’ Muhammad, Issues Warning About Islam

DHS Chief Markwayne Mullin went off on the ‘Prophet’ Muhammad and issued a warning about “extreme Islam” as he launched an attack on Michigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed.

“The Muslim Brotherhood is a terrorist organization. To say they are non-existent anymore doesn’t even resonate with those of us that are in law enforcement…” Mullin said.

“The Muslim Brotherhood is still an organization that wants to harm the United States. They have made that very clear and when they have someone that is associated with it, you gotta question their conviction…” Mullin said.

Mullin said Islam permits Muslims to lie.

“This is affiliated to the Prophet Muhammad. When it’s permissible to lie, it says there’s three reasons that it’s permissible,” Mullin said.

“One is in a time or war, one is in a time of conflict, to try to reconcile, and one is when you’re trying to persuade your wife essentially to stay with you,” he said.

“And you go okay, where does other religions say it’s permissible to lie? So you can’t compare that. Extreme Islam is dangerous,” Mullin said during an appearance on Fox News.

The School Board Circus Has a New Ringmaster

School board meetings are supposed to be about education. Increasingly, they resemble political theater, with one important difference: the people running the show don’t always realize they’re the punchline.

Enter Shamgar Connors, a former public-school teacher who has decided that if officials insist on defending policies he considers absurd, the least he can do is give those policies the characters they deserve. One minute he’s Shamgarita, a WNBA hopeful and captain of the Pronoun Protectors. The next, he’s Wolfgar, a furry taking his case to the public-comment podium. The costumes change. The questions don’t: Who gets to decide what happens in our schools, and why are parents so often treated like the problem?

Connors joined me on Dangerous Laughter for an episode that proves political comedy gets a lot more interesting when the comedian is willing to become the spectacle. Shamgarita’s basketball credentials are impeccable by the standards of her fictional league: her only tryout was identifying as a player, so she’s already made the team. Her game combines layups with manifestation, and her team is ready to take on anyone foolish enough to ask what, exactly, qualifies someone to play in the WNBA.

I couldn’t resist pointing out that Connors had once been annoyed with me for putting a different bearded lady on the cover of my latest book, The Curse of the Bearded Lady: How the Trans Mafia Whacked American Sanity. Apparently, there’s room for more than one bearded lady in the cultural circus. Mine made the cover; Shamgarita brought her own jersey. Either way, the joke points toward a serious question running through both the book and our conversation: what happens when institutions demand that people accept claims they believe contradict reality?

WTH? Door Knocker for Democrat AZ Governor Katie Hobbs Caught on Camera Stealing Package From Voter’s Front Porch

A volunteer canvasser for a leftwing group backing Democratic Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs’ reelection campaign was caught on a doorbell camera, appearing to snatch a package while leaving flyers for Democratic candidates.

They’re not just stealing votes anymore.

The apparent porch pirate is seen on doorbell camera footage approaching the home and leaving a flyer at the door before closely examining a package for a moment.

She then takes the package and walks away.

As also seen in the clip, the woman left a flyer that read “paid for by Victory PAC (www.luchaaz.org/lucha-blue),” which links to the progressive group Living United for Change in Arizona’s 2026 voter guide.

The page urges voters to reelect Governor Katie Hobbs and Attorney General Kris Mayes. “Governor Katie Hobbs is delivering for Arizona families. Fighting to lower everyday costs, protecting our freedoms, keeping communities safe, safeguarding our water, and holding powerful interests accountable. She puts Arizona first and is focused on getting results that make a real difference in people’s lives,” the page reads.

The person who discovered their package was missing got a firsthand look at the governor’s socialist policies.

SPLC largely drove debanking of conservative groups, Treasury report shows

Arecent report from the Office of the Comptroller of Currency (OCC) in the Treasury Department shows that the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) was a driving force behind the debanking of conservative groups prior to its indictment.

The SPLC is a left-wing anti-racism advocacy group that has faced scrutiny from conservatives for years over its alleged bias against them and penchant for labeling mainstream political figures on the right as “extremists.”

The group has also faced withering criticism from the left, such as Ken Silverstein, who followed its expelled founder Morris Dees for years for Harper’s and The New Yorker.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has charged the SPLC with allegedly defrauding donors by paying exorbitant sums to members of extremist groups, both to act as informants and to recruit and expand their operations.

The SPLC has denied wrongdoing in the case, and said in a statement that “The charges against the SPLC are provably wrong; they are based on inaccurate facts and a misapplication of law. Our informant program was successful in accomplishing its purposes: Threats and attacks were prevented, criminal activity was stopped, and information was gathered to dismantle the efforts of hate and extremist groups.”

The OCC report, released last week, detailed the efforts of financial applications, banks, and other institutions to deny service to conservative organizations, particularly highlighting the SPLC’s role. Many of the groups the report documented had been labeled as hate groups by the organization. Driving much of the effort were broad reputational risk policies that the OCC generally swept up many mainstream conservative groups.

Colleges Are Still Discriminating by Race

In 2023, the Supreme Court’s decision in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard said that it was unconstitutional to discriminate in college admissions based on race. But since then we’ve seen pretty strong evidence that some schools are doing their best to cheat their way around this ruling.

In the past two years, the Trump administration has accused a bunch of specific schools of cheating.

In May, the Trump administration opened a new front in its crackdown on the higher education sector.

The U.S. Department of Justice said it had completed a yearlong investigation into the University of California, Los Angeles’ medical school and concluded that the public institution was discriminating based on race by giving Black and Hispanic applicants a leg up in the admissions process. UCLA pushed back against claims it was violating the law.

Since then, the DOJ has produced similar findings against four other medical schools and one law school, alleging that they are violating the 2023 U.S. Supreme Court ruling against race-conscious admissions.

In June of this year the DOJ announced it was opening 15 more probes into medical school admissions, though it didn’t name the schools under investigation.

The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division announced today that it opened fifteen new investigations into potential race discrimination in medical school admissions. The Division recently announced its findings that the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) and Yale University both illegally used race in medical school admissions.

But despite all of this effort, it seems many schools are more committed to equity practices than they are to following the law. In short, they are still cheating.

DEMOCRAT CORRUPTION SCANDAL: Husband of Rhode Island Democrat Party Chair Indicted in Alleged $20 MILLION Fraud Scheme That Helped Destroy Community College

Michael Perik, a Jamestown, Rhode Island businessman and the husband of Rhode Island Democratic Party Chair Liz Beretta-Perik, faces a dozen felony charges in a sweeping Ohio indictment accusing him and two others of orchestrating a coordinated scheme that diverted roughly $20 million in federal financial aid, Pell Grants, and state subsidies from Eastern Gateway Community College before the institution collapsed.

Ohio Auditor of State Keith Faber announced the indictments on October 8, 2026, following a multi-year investigation by his Special Investigations Unit.

A Jefferson County grand jury returned a 24-count indictment charging Perik and co-defendant Nicole Rowe Colclasure with engaging in a pattern of corrupt activities (racketeering), aggravated theft of $1.5 million or more, theft in office, telecommunications fraud, bribery, having an unlawful interest in a public contract, receiving stolen property, and money laundering.

Former Eastern Gateway president and chief financial officer Michael Geoghegan faces nine related felony counts. Court appearances were scheduled for October 19.

According to the Ohio Auditor’s office, Perik allegedly used four for-profit entities he controlled, including the Student Resource Center, to improperly divert funds through fraudulent reimbursements and illegal incentive compensation.

Federal law bars incentive payments tied to enrollment and financial aid activities unless handled by a truly independent third party.

Investigators allege the companies did not operate independently; instead, they exercised significant control over enrollment, attendance verification, financial aid access, and other core functions.

DOJ Sends Soros-Backed Philly DA Larry Krasner Grand Jury Subpoenas in Federal Criminal Investigation After Judge Accused Him of Obstruction and Lying to the Court

The Department of Justice has sent grand jury subpoenas to Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner as part of a probe into obstruction of justice by his office.

Fox News reports that the investigation relates to Krasner’s handling of cases before a federal judge who referred him to the DOJ.

As The Gateway Pundit reported last month, U.S. District Judge Paul Diamond referred Krasner to the Department of Justice for potential conspiracy and obstruction of justice charges after he and his top deputy lied to the court to overturn a murder conviction.

Krassner and his deputy, Matthew Stiegler, are accused of making false statements and suborning perjury in a bid to overturn a conviction for Dennis Johnson.
