NY Times Admits Somalis Are ‘Raised in a Culture of Stealing’ Following Massive Welfare Fraud in Minnesota

Even the far-left New York Times has admitted that Somalians are raised in a culture of widespread theft and graft in their country as the news of massive welfare fraud among the Somali community in Democrat Gov. Tim Walz’s Minnesota grows.

The paper’s opening line for its Nov. 29 article gets straight to the point, reading, “The fraud scandal that rattled Minnesota was staggering in its scale and brazenness.”

There have been an astounding series of cases of hundreds of millions of dollars in fraud in state welfare, housing, healthcare, food, COVID relief and other programs, much of it centered on members of the Somali community.

The fraud has been so endemic in Minnesota that even the usually far-left Times is joining Breitbart News and calling it out. Indeed, the paper even noted that early on many liberals waved off the fraud as a “one-off abuse,” but as each new case rolled out from federal prosecutors the sense of alarm has grown and the blame is undeniable.

“Over the last five years, law enforcement officials say, fraud took root in pockets of Minnesota’s Somali diaspora as scores of individuals made small fortunes by setting up companies that billed state agencies for millions of dollars’ worth of social services that were never provided,” the Times reported.

The paper does not spare exposure of the Somali community.

Macalester College professor Ahmed Samatar, a Somali native, said that the fraud among Minnesota’s Somali migrants should not be surprising. The Times added that “Somali refugees who came to the United States after their country’s civil war were raised in a culture in which stealing from the country’s dysfunctional and corrupt government was widespread.”

The fraud has been so deep that it has undermined all of the state’s welfare programs.

“No one will support these programs if they continue to be riddled with fraud,” federal prosecutor Joseph H. Thompson told the media. “We’re losing our way of life in Minnesota in a very real way.”

One of the first such cases centered around an organization called “Feeding Our Future,” run by a group of Minneapolis-area Somali migrants. Prosecutors say that the organizers bilked $250 million from the state in child food assistance funding.

In a different case, tens of millions were stolen from Minnesota’s autism treatment program, again by Somali migrants. There is also the case of more than $550 million stolen from the state’s coronavirus pandemic relief program.

How This Dem Senator Dug His Own Grave During This Sunday Morning Interview

The man is facing a potential court-martial over this shoddy stunt, but Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) opted to continue digging his own grave on the Sunday morning talk shows yesterday. Democrats have nowhere to go, so they’ve manufactured this crisis where President Trump has issued illegal orders. To clarify a crucial point here: President Trump has not done that. When pressed, these Democrats fold, because they’re peddling a hoax. Several made some cockamamie videos urging American service members to commit sedition, essentially. 

Even Kelly was forced to admit that what he’s raving about doesn’t exist. As some noted, it’s not about the equally insane scenario over Trump issuing illegal orders anymore—Democrats think only they have the moral clarity to determine which orders are legal. Better yet, “we will decide which orders are illegal when we’re back in charge, so you better just not follow any of Trump’s orders, or else you might be prosecuted,” as ‘RedSteeze’ aka Stephen Miller aptly noted.

Here’s an Update on the J6 Pipe Bomb Suspect. It’s Not Good.

There’s a reason why we emphasized the if regarding the January 6 pipe bomb suspect that was named in an article from The Blaze in early November. The publication stressed that several intelligence sources confirmed its information. They cited gait analysis to identify the person involved, who was reportedly a former Capitol Police officer. It was a significant ‘whoa’ moment, but only if true. If The Blaze hit the bullseye, it would’ve blown this story wide open. As it happens, it’s becoming clear they shanked the field goal. This individual provided an alibi, and now litigation concerns are brewing (via CBS News).

A federal security officer linked to a thwarted Jan. 6 pipe bomb attack cleared her name by providing an alibi: video of her playing with her puppies at the time the devices were placed, sources told CBS News. The FBI has now ruled her out as a suspect in the 2021 plot, according to three sources — but only after her name circulated on social platforms and a conservative news site. 

How an innocent woman’s name came to be publicly linked to the unexploded pipe bombs is a question that has raised concerns among some senior officials in the Trump administration. 

CBS News is not naming the security officer or her workplace. The federal agency she protects declined to comment.

Multiple sources said that a unit overseen by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard drafted a memo identifying the woman and describing allegations that she had placed the explosive devices outside Democratic and Republican party offices. The memo was written after ODNI was made aware of allegations from an outside source, an ODNI spokesperson said.

Former CNN Host Jim Acosta Calls for Media to Take ‘Collective Action’ Against Trump

Former CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta urged mainstream media outlets to band together in “collective action” against President Donald Trump’s insults towards journalists.

Acosta made the call to action on the network formerly known as MSNBC, now known as “MS NOW,” on Saturday morning.

The disgraced pundit’s comments came in response to an incident earlier this month where Trump told Bloomberg reporter Catherine Lucey to be “quiet, piggy” during a press event, after she pressed him on questions related to Jeffrey Epstein’s files.

Acosta described the remark as “disgusting” and argued that if a boss spoke to a female employee that way in any other workplace, they would be fired. The reporter, of course, does not work for the president.

“Other folks in the press in the room should speak up in that moment and say, ‘Mr. President, that is not appropriate,’” Acosta said. “And, you know, double down on the questions that were asked. ‘Why didn’t you answer that question? Why are you resorting to personal attacks? Why can’t you take the heat? What’s going on here?’”

“I think the only solution to all of this is collective action,” he added.

Acosta suggested that major newspapers and networks send a formal letter to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, warning that if Trump doesn’t stop mocking journalists, they would boycott Oval Office press events and travel on Air Force One, leaving coverage to outlets like Fox News until he “cleans up [his] act.”

Race To The Bottom: White House Launches ‘Media Offenders’ Leaderboard

The Trump White House unveiled a scathing new website Friday, “Media Offenders,” complete with a “race to the bottom” leaderboard ranking outlets like The Washington Post as the worst for “false and misleading stories”—flagging everything from exaggerated Trump “sedition” claims to immigrant horror tales as “heinous” manipulations.

The interactive page features an “Offender Hall of Shame” logging repeat offenders and a weekly spotlight, like the current “Media Misrepresents and Exaggerates President Trump’s Calls for Democrat Accountability,” where Democrats and “Fake News” implied Trump issued “illegal orders” to the military—contrasted with “THE TRUTH”: “Every order President Trump has issued has been lawful.”

The site pits outlets like The Washington Post (worst for bias), MSNBC, CNN, CBS News, The New York Times, and Politico in a humiliating tally of “false and misleading stories flagged by The White House.”

Users can sign up for “Offender Alerts” delivered weekly, promising “Scroll for the Truth” on each entry.

The “Offender Hall of Shame” catalogs hits like “L.A. mother says she was taken to U.S. border, being held until she self-deports” and “Trump’s new wall: His push to oust immigrants legally in the U.S.,” debunking them with White House counters.

The spotlight today falls on “Media Misrepresents and Exaggerates President Trump’s Calls for Democrat Accountability,” where outlets like the Boston Globe and The Independent twisted Trump’s push for accountability on Democrats’ military mutiny calls into “execution” threats.

From the site:

“THE OFFENSE”: “The media misrepresented President Trump’s call for Members of Congress to be held accountable for inciting sedition by saying that he called for their ‘execution.’”

“THE TRUTH”: “Democrats released a video calling for service members to disobey their chain of command, and in turn, implied President Trump had issued illegal orders. Every order President Trump has issued has been lawful. It is dangerous for sitting Members of Congress to incite insubordination in the United States’ military, and President Trump called for them to be held accountable.”

This counteroffensive directly exposes MSM’s scripted “talking point” directives amid the info war, where CNN, MSNBC, and NYT puppets cordinate “balanced” spins on Trump’s policies. The leaderboard’s “false and misleading stories” section catalogs such distortions, from immigrant “horror” tales to “Trump wall” exaggerations, proving the “enemies of the people” script is real.

New Yorker magazine ripped for peddling sob story about illegal migrant convicted of murder

The New Yorker has been ripped for peddling a gushing sob story about an illegal migrant and convicted murderer who was recently booted from the United States by the Trump administration.

Jamaican Orville Etoria, 62, was one of five illegal migrants shipped off to Africa in September as part of the Trump administration’s third-country deportation program.

His case was featured in a lengthy feature in the New Yorker this week, months after the Department of Homeland Security ripped a similar story on him in the New York Times as “disgraceful and disgusting.”

A teaser for the New Yorker’s story on X quoted Etoria as crying about how being taken “to another land in shackles and chains” helped him “imagine how the slaves might have felt” — without focusing on his violent record for murder and other gun crimes.

“I see you conveniently forgot to mention here that he was not a US citizen and had spent 25 years in prison for murder,” one person griped on X.

The teaser on X even got a brutal reader’s note adding much-needed context.

It Turns Out DOGE Isn’t Dead — Despite The Media Hysteria

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is still up and running, despite recent reports stating the agency had quietly been disbanded, an administration official told the Daily Caller.

Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Director Scott Kupor said at a recent event that DOGE as a “centralized entity” no longer exists, Reuters reported Sunday. An administration official told the Caller that DOGE is still an operational agency that will continue to execute on its mission until May 2026.

The central office of DOGE continues to have a staff that is assisting with agency projects, the administration official added to the Caller.

Some of those projects include, “improving VA appointment management with integrated scheduling, check-ins, notification and after-visit support”; “advancing responsible AI government-wide through partnership with GSA”; “transforming the non-immigrant visa process to support Olympic and World Cup travel with a more reliable, adaptable digital platform”; and “supporting 18 million students by modernizing the FAFSA system and implementing major student loan and Pell Grant changes.”

Reuters originally reported that DOGE no longer existed and OPM absorbed most of its functions. DOGE’s X account responded to the report and called it false. Acting Administrator to DOGE Amy Gleason posted on LinkedIn further confirmation that the central office is open.

The Covid Inquiry Has Failed to Ask the Most Basic Question: Why Were People Dying?

The explosion of mainstream media headlines following the release of the Hallett Inquiry module two report has concentrated on the conclusion that 23,000 deaths occurred as a result of governmental delays in enforcing lockdowns. While I admire the precision (not 22,000, not 24,000) the 23,000 figure is, as the inquiry states, an estimate based on modelling.

Whose modelling? If that of Neil Ferguson, who had previously been alarmist to the point of hysteria over a foot and mouth outbreak, then the model is fit for the dustbin. Garbage in, garbage out. But Baroness Hallett may not be so wrong – indeed the 23,000 may be an underestimate, but not for the reasons she has wrongly adduced.

SARS-CoV-2 was a novel virus. We now know, but not at the time, that it was accidentally released in China, but the exact mechanisms leading to that need not bother us. What mattered was that it appeared to be both very infectious and potentially fatal. However the fatality numbers are missing something (ignoring whether the figures were of deaths from Covid or deaths with Covid but from something else). Why was it fatal, leading to the acute syndrome of respiratory and other organ failure we now know as COVID-19?

I have read the lengthy report published on November 20th. It is a remarkable catalogue of governmental goings-on, but there is a glaring omission: there is nothing about medicine. There is science, epidemiology, statistics, models, but the fundamental question should have been: what is happening when people get suddenly sick, and how do we treat them if they do? If an infection does not kill people it is usually unimportant: we don’t go berserk over the common cold. If it does we need to know why and fix it. This is not an investigation for epidemiologists, scientists, statisticians, public health doctors, politicians and others who have no experience of managing acute medical emergencies. It is for clinicians – front-line doctors who see an illness, do investigations and arrange treatment.

Where were they? And why has this report completely failed to ask the question – where were the clinical experts?

Politico Accused of Deceptively Altering Polling Data After Hungary’s Ruling Party Took the Lead

The establishment, globalist press outlet Politico is once again facing backlash after its Hungarian “poll of polls” mysteriously shifted overnight—conveniently placing a Brussels-subservient opposition party ahead of Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz-KDNP.

For a brief window, Politico’s own aggregated numbers appeared to show the ruling conservative alliance comfortably ahead heading into much-anticipated, upcoming 2026 parliamentary election, set to be held in April.

The moment these numbers gained public attention, they vanished. And that timing is, unsurprisingly, raising eyebrows, and rightfully so.

The controversy erupted after Balázs Orbán—Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s top political strategist—posted a detailed breakdown of the poll on November 23.

His review highlighted what many conservatives in Hungary already sensed: the patriotic, sovereignist Fidesz-KDNP bloc was still outperforming Péter Magyar’s EU-aligned, globalist Tisza Party.

Orbán (no relation to the PM) credited the governing coalition’s gains to diplomatic wins abroad, extensive grassroots mobilization at home, and persistent disarray within the liberal opposition.

He argued that the data undercut the narrative being pushed by Brussels and its bought-off media allies that Hungary was on the verge of “turning pro-EU.”

But funnily enough, within 24 hours of Balázs Orbán publicizing those numbers, Politico’s tracker suddenly told a very different story.

The same site that had shown Fidesz ahead abruptly updated its methodology, removed certain polls, and elevated the Tisza Party to first place.

Balázs Orbán immediately called attention to the change, accusing Politico of adjusting the scoreboard after his analysis gained traction.

In his follow-up post today, he argued that the German-owned media outlet closely aligned with the EU’s corrupt, increasingly unpopular establishment had quietly erased polls that didn’t match its preferred storyline.

US Peace Plan Bears Striking Resemblance to German AfD Proposal — and Nobody in the Media Wants to Talk About It

US President Donald Trump has once again blown up the scripted narratives of Western foreign-policy elites by unveiling a sweeping 28-point peace plan for Ukraine.

His proposal doesn’t call for endless spending, escalation or for NATO brinkmanship—but for neutrality, security guarantees, territorial arrangements and economic rebuilding.

And here’s the part the media really doesn’t want discussed: Trump’s plan looks strikingly similar to a peace initiative introduced back in 2023 by the AfD in the German Bundestag under foreign policy spokesman Petr Bystron. In other words, the populists had the diplomatic roadmap long before the “serious” people running Europe.

Shared Strategic Premise: Endless War Is a Choice

Trump and the AfD start from the same inconvenient truth—Ukraine will not be “won” on the battlefield. Both proposals reject NATO expansion, call for permanent neutrality, and ban foreign troop deployments inside Ukraine. Both demand international security guarantees, a negotiated ceasefire and a phased military disengagement.

And both reject Washington and Brussels’ childish fantasy that shoveling weapons and cash into a corrupt war zone will magically produce peace.

Converging Approaches to Contested Territories

Even on the most explosive issue—territorial control—both plans take a sober, realistic approach. Trump outlines concrete territorial arrangements.

The AfD plan suggests internationally supervised transitional mandates followed by bilateral negotiations. Different mechanics, same logic: de-escalation, monitoring, and rebuilding instead of mass graves and propaganda slogans. The foreign-policy blob hates it because it acknowledges reality.

Key Differences Highlight Europe’s Failure

The AfD document, written in Europe rather than Washington, is actually the more diplomatic of the two. It doesn’t demand instant recognition of Russian-held territories.

It doesn’t dictate the size of Ukraine’s military or attempt to micromanage internal politics—features in Trump’s draft. Instead, it focuses on negotiations, UN or OSCE mandates and long-term stabilization. But the outcome is the same: stop the dying, stop the spending, stop the geopolitical LARPing.
