Minnesota's Fraud Scandal Deepens as New Audit Reveals Document Fabrication and Cover-Up

Minnesota's Fraud Scandal Deepens as New Audit Reveals Document Fabrication and Cover-Up: 

The massive fraud scandal that has plagued Minnesota under Governor Tim Walz just got significantly worse. A scathing new audit released this week reveals that the state's Department of Human Services (DHS) fabricated documents after an investigation began, pointing to what Republican House Speaker Lisa DeMuth called "a culture of pervasive fraud, negligence, and deception."

The audit found that DHS distributed more than $425 million in grants to 830 organizations—primarily non-governmental groups serving people with addiction and mental health issues—without proper oversight. Auditors discovered missing progress reports, incomplete monitoring visits, and most troubling, what appeared to be backdated or newly created documentation that didn't exist before the audit commenced.

Europe Should Be Begging Trump to Buy Greenland

But the historical record and geopolitical reality suggest that acquiring the island territory would be not only fair compensation for American involvement in Europe since the start of World War II, but also a critical check against encroaching Chinese and Russian influence in the Arctic.

Trump’s latest quip that Greenland’s defense is “two dog sleds” has the global liberal media tripping over itself to “fact-check” this obvious hyperbole and declare Trump an evil imperialist. 

But Trump is only highlighting a glaring security lapse in what is fast becoming one of the most important regions on the planet. 

• It doesn’t require anything more than basic common sense to understand that Denmark, Europe, the United States, and the entire free world would be better off if Washington, rather than Copenhagen, took the lead on defending Greenland...

Fusion, long promised but delayed for decades, may finally be approaching practical reality.

US energy company installs first magnet for Sparc fusion reactor - Sujita Sinha

The digital twin will allow the company to test experiments and adjust parameters virtually before applying changes to the physical reactor...
Mumgaard believes that combining digital twins with AI will accelerate the deployment of fusion...

• With Sparc’s magnets installed and simulations running in parallel, CFS aims to achieve practical fusion energy and supply power to the grid within the next decade.

House Dem Tries to Shift Attention Away from Alleged Somali Fraud, Wants More Focus on 'White Men' Crimes

House Dem Tries to Shift Attention Away from Alleged Somali Fraud, Wants More Focus on 'White Men' Crimes: 

Politically, her attempt at deflection is not the least bit surprising. Faced with allegations that their immigrants may have stolen billions from taxpayers, Democrats are eager to change the subject. After years of blaming, lecturing, and alienating large segments of the electorate, Democrats have struggled to maintain support among many American voters, particularly young white men.

Left-wing reporter facing congressional subpoena after doxxing Delta Force commander * WorldNetDaily * by Andi Shae Napier, Daily Caller News Foundation

Left-wing reporter facing congressional subpoena after doxxing Delta Force commander * WorldNetDaily * by Andi Shae Napier, Daily Caller News Foundation: 

The House Oversight Committee voted on Wednesday to subpoena Rolling Stone contributing editor Seth Harp after he shared a picture and biography of a Delta Force commander that he said played a central role in the recent U.S. military operation in Venezuela.

Harp posted the commander's biography — which included the officer's first and last name and the fact he had a wife and five daughters — to X Sunday. The journalist later claimed X locked his account until he deleted the post, according to a Monday statement he posted on the social media platform.

Driven insane by their low IQ and hate.

Sounds like a pretty good outcome to me.”

Creating domestic suicide-attackers!-----You know what these horrid, threatening messages we've been receiving recently indicate?

They illustrate what ICE agents (and police) are dealing with on the streets every single day (X 1,000 and in real life).  - Jessica McBride

A subset of this "protest" movement is TRULY DANGEROUS. 

Not all of them. 

Some are truly "angry soccer moms" virtue signalling with silly signs (or who have been misled into thinking ICE is the gest*ap*.)...

• But a subset of these people are truly dangerous. 

The pundits on the left are all trying to argue that Agent Ross killed this innocent soccer mom type in an SUV...

WE HAVE NO IDEA the level of abuse these agents are facing, in real life, and on a daily basis... 

YOUR rhetoric, comparing law enforcement and your fellow Americans to Na*is and fas*ists and the g*stap* and H***er, etc., is creating the environment in which Charlie Kirk and Renee Good died, and DJT almost did...

America's choice!
