Melania Trump brings traditional Christmas back to the White House
"On Monday’s “The Right Squad,” the panel lauded Melania Trump’s White House Christmas decor — a stark contrast to the previous administration’s displays — symbolizing a return to dignity and the celebration of Christmas in America.day’s “The Right Squad,” the panel lauded Melania Trump’s White House Christmas decor — a stark contrast to the previous administration’s displays — symbolizing a return to dignity and the celebration of Christmas in America."

Ungrateful Ilhan Omar and the Somali scammers are the immigrants we DON’T want
NY Post: . . . "In a corker of a Truth Social post announcing “a permanent pause” in immigration from Third World countries, Trump went after Minneapolis-area Rep. Ilhan Omar, and for good reason.
"Omar stands for everything we shouldn’t want an immigrant to be — ungrateful, hostile to the American system as such, and perhaps not above perpetrating immigration fraud." . . .
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz: Staggeringly incompetent Somali fraud apologist
. . . "So, the staggering fraud, grift, graft, and deception isn’t just among Somalis? Walz is admitting it goes much deeper than that? Is every state government entity, “charity” organization, and minority group involved in fraudulently bilking the North Star state citizen-taxpayer out of his or her money?! At this point, it wouldn’t surprise many.
"Minnesota is no longer prosperous or well-run, explicitly because of Walz’s leadership … or lack thereof. And I very much doubt that criminals care much about its soon-to-be-former AAA bond rating." . . .
"All one can hope in the wake of this monstrosity is that a whole lot of lowlife and their governor find their way to jail, and their ill-gotten gains are somehow recovered. As the Times notes, this scandal threatens the Minnesota "way of life", meaning, why Minnesota can't have nice things. What a revolting scandal. Walz is a corrupt clod who needs to go down for this."
Meanwhile, a recording of a December 2021 meeting between Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and key figures in the Feeding Our Future scandal emerged earlier this year.
Ellison, the state’s chief law enforcement officer, was caught on tape pledging support to a group of Somalis “who would soon become his family’s campaign donors and later Feeding Our Future criminal defendants.”
Did Minnesota AG Keith Ellison Help Somali Non-Profits Defraud State Taxpayers? . . . "But the rot and corruption didn't stop there. It now appears that Minnesota's Attorney General Keith Ellison not only helped Somali non-profit groups continue to get funding, despite the numerous red flags popping up, but that he allegedly received campaign donations after doing so.
"We'll start with audio that reportedly shows Ellison promising to help Somali groups in exchange for campaign donations." . . .
"Yesterday, Townhall reported that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz was not only aware of the massive fraud taking place in his state — fraud that not only bilked Minnesota taxpayers of billions, but led to the death of at least one vulnerable Minnesota man and helped to fund Islamic terrorism in Somalia — but he was punishing whistleblowers who reported on the fraud."

Kamala is Very Sorry Not Sorry for Your Loss
American Greatness "Kamala is very sorry for Alexis Nungaray’s loss. Kamala is very sorry Alexis’ 12-year-old daughter was strangled to death and discarded in a creek near her home.
"And that goes for Laken Riley’s family and Rachel Morin’s family, since Bret Baier brought them up. Kamala is very sorry for their losses too. " . . .
. . . "And to the families of anyone who ends up being harmed by the Colombian gang leader the Biden-Harris regime invited into this country, Kamala will be very sorry for your loss and/or feel awful for what one of your children and your family experienced.
"In other words, if you are offended by the death and exploitation wrought by her open border policies, Kamala is very sorry. Not responsible. Just sorry.
"Yet, an expression of apology without the acceptance of responsibility is a sorry not sorry. Kamala’s attempt to blame-shift eliminates even the possibility of genuine empathy.
"For all of Trump’s occasions of intemperate bluster, the cruelest candidate running for President is Kamala Harris."
The Rapidly Imploding Tim Walz
Perhaps Walz and Gov Gav will perform a duet of "Hand Jive"
. . ."Walz has no skills that would make him employable in the private sector. So, to paraphrase Richard Nixon, I think we will have him to kick around for some time to come."
"I was on Australian television tonight, and one of the topics was Tim Walz and the Minnesota fraud scandal. What was striking to me is that Walz has become an international laughingstock. His ineptitude is recognized around the globe.
"And yet, there is nothing new in the revelations of the past week or two. Bill Glahn of my organization has been writing about Feeding Our Future and the related Walz administration scandals for nearly four years. The fraud story is so far from being new, that in Feeding Our Future alone, the U.S. Attorney’s office has charged 78 defendants, two criminal trials have been held, resulting in convictions, and more than 50 defendants have pleaded guilty. Power Line readers have known about the scandal for a long time, but it is nice to see the rest of the country finally taking notice.
"Still, given the newfound interest in the Walz administration’s incompetence (if not outright encouragement of criminal wrongdoing), we put out this tweet about Keith Ellison, Walz’s Attorney General:
MN AG Keith Ellison caught on tape pledging to help Somali fraudsters in exchange for campaign donations (
480 Minnesota Health Services Employees Warned Candidate Kamala Harris of Walz, Fraud in 2024
"Ms. Harris, please listen to Minnesota State Employees who work everyday (sic) to deliver best services possible to our state & people who expect no less & pay our wages. Tim Walz has caused incredible harm to our state & agencies, retaliated against whistleblowers against fraud.”
. . . " '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.” . . .

OMISSION: Network Newscasts SUPPRESS Minnesota Welfare Fraud Scandal
. . . "Barring the related arrest of a very senior elected official, expect the legacies to say nothing about this scandal unless President Donald Trump says something about it, in which case the story becomes Trumpwashed and whatever wild thing Trump says about it becomes the scandal." . . .
Afghan terror and Somalia fraud shows why Trump is right on migrants
"But at least the president’s Somalia and Afghan orders, and his tough move against the Muslim Brotherhood, shows that we are least starting to try. Not a moment too soon."
"You have to be careful with a country. Even a nation as vast in size and huge in population as the United States cannot be endlessly experimented upon. You cannot just leave borders open, or allow in large numbers of people with totally different value systems from your own.
"That is the mistake many European countries have committed in recent years. They have opened their homes up to people from almost every part of the world where there is civil strife, war or just a lower standard of living.
"The results can be seen everywhere. It is the reason why a country like Sweden — that used to be such a placid, decent place — has become one of the most violent countries in the world not actually at war. Grenade attacks, gang-warfare: these things were recently alien to Sweden. Not anymore.
"It is the same here in the United States — though here the effects are more dispersed, so the problem can be covered up for longer.
"But two things have happened in the past week that ought to allow any American reflect on how carefully we should treat the future of this country.
"The first is the discovery — reported first in City Journal — of vast amounts of welfare and charitable fraud being carried out by the Somali residents of Minnesota.
"Somalia has been in a state of war and collapse for more than three decades. As a result many Western countries — including America — were persuaded to give asylum to large numbers of Somalis." . . . More...
Hooked On Phonics Wins Again!
Religio-Political talk; John Stossel
"Reading scores have been bad for thirty years. Why? Because teachers stopped pushing phonics and replaced it with something called “Balanced Literacy.” It’s meant to help kids fall in love with books. They use pictures to guess words, but may never learn to read."Trump and Hegseth Defending America From Drug Traffickers
"And the Democrats’ answer as to how to stop this drug war is not only nowhere to be seen but is effectively allowing the problem — and the overdoses — to continue. Not good. . . ."
"Well, of course.
"This headline over at Newsmax is a sample of others now appearing. It reads: “Leavitt: Hegseth Authorized for Lethal Narco-Terror Strikes.”
"The story reads in part as follows:
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Monday strongly defended a recent series of U.S. military strikes targeting what the administration has labeled “narco-terrorist” groups.
She said that both President Donald Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth acted firmly within their legal authority.
"Again: Well, of course.
"What amazes is that anyone should question the president’s authority to do this. Not to mention the fact that he’s doing it.
"Not to be too obvious, but recall the words a new president says when sworn in: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
"Safe to say is the obvious. The president targeting “narco-terrorist groups” who are decidedly and deliberately, in a hostile act of violence, targeting America and Americans is exactly the kind of action that a president is constitutionally required to defend against.
"It is beyond belief, then, to see the president and the (reminder!) Secretary of War attacked by Democrats for defending the country from those who are deliberately, willfully orchestrating hostile acts against Americans
"The reports on this were everywhere, but this story from The Hill is a good example: “Hegseth boat strike fallout, war crime allegations: What to know.”
"The story reads, in part, this:
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s reported order in early September to “kill everybody” aboard an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean has sent shock waves throughout Washington, prompting scrutiny from key leaders in Congress and a cautious defense from President Trump.
"According to a report in The Washington Post on Friday, an initial strike left two survivors, and the commander in charge of the operation ordered a follow-up strike to comply with Hegseth’s orders to leave no survivors.
"The report has renewed questions about the legal basis of the Trump administration’s campaign against alleged “narco-terrorists” in the Caribbean and Pacific, which has killed at least 80 alleged drug traffickers in recent months. The Trump administration says the U.S. is in an “armed conflict” with drug cartels, but the administration has not publicly provided evidence showing an imminent threat to Americans."
"Unless one is way out there on the Leftist limb, there is nothing hard to understand here." . . .
