Somali Tim Walz voters: follow the money

 "Another was the “Quality Learing Center” – which misspelled “learning” in its sign. Like the others, it was closed, but outside of it was a woman who kept shouting “don’t open up!” and “go away!” and “shame on you!” and “ICE!' ”

What Nick Shirley’s Minnesota Fraud Story Says About Legacy Media   "Nick Shirley’s 42-minute YouTube video on daycare fraud in Minnesota is shocking not just because of the scale of abuse he uncovered in a day. It’s shocking because it took a young kid to expose this years-long scheme. Where was the mainstream media all this time?

"In the must-see video, Shirley teams up with a citizen investigator and goes door-to-door visiting various “daycare” facilities in Minneapolis that pocketed millions in taxpayer money through a Child Care Assistance Program." . . .  

If someone made a movie of the Walz-Somali fraud, young Mr. Shirley could be played by someone like this child actor, Jeremy Maguire:: (Right)

The dominoes are beginning to fall in the Democratic-run stronghold of Minneapolis, where federal investigators were on the ground earlier today as part of expanded investigations into childcare centers and other widespread alleged fraud schemes by Somali-linked operators.
"By evening, Nick Shirley, the citizen journalist who brought the "empty" childcare companies into the national spotlight with a video that has received 121 million views in just three days, revealed that one of the Somali-linked childcare centers had been shut down by the Minnesota Department of Children." . . .

"Tim Waltz calls fraud investigation” white supremacy' ” "When Elon made a hand gesture in passion, they wrote hundreds of articles calling him racist When Somalis steal billions of dollars, they call the people who are upset racist It appears that the best way to loot the country is to call everyone racist." . . .

. . . "We assess that as the dominant narrative of the widening Somali-linked fraud scandal in Minneapolis continues to go viral on X through "America First"-linked accounts, Democrats and their PR machine will move to advance a counter-narrative, given how optically damaging these revelations are ahead of the midterm cycle.

"The days of Democrats defaulting to labeling opponents as "racists" or "fascists" appear to be over. They will likely need to develop new pejoratives to target those investigating allegations of welfare fraud on a scale larger than Somalia's GDP."

Uh-Oh: Perhaps a paperwork error of some kind is involved. Perhaps our children is learing after all.   

However, Lou reports that his team paid a visit to QLC on Monday and found it open for business with children being dropped off. A New York Post story is to the same effect. The Post story reports: “Ibrahim Ali, the son of the owner who said he was the manager, claimed to The Post on Monday that Shirley’s visit came before they opened for the day.”

The Reaction to the Nick Shirley Video is Telling Us a Bunch of Things  

"First, as predictably as the sunrise, Nick Shirley is literally invading Poland. He’s a TERRIFYING WHITE SUPREMACIST and an EVIL ZIONIST NAZI who is ATTACKING INNOCENT MUSLIMS with his cleverly concocted lies."

Douglas Murray: Zohran Mamdani appointing radical transition team has NYC in for a rude awakening

Douglas Murray  

"Well, New York — we’re going to be in for quite a ride.
"But then, I suppose many voters knew that when they voted in Zohran Mamdani as mayor last month.
"Even so, the number of radicals he has already appointed should still make New Yorkers gulp.The Post this week revealed the inept, badly spelled list of appointees to Zo’s transition team." . . .


. . . "But personally, I wouldn’t be surprised if Mamdani headquarters deliberately got the names of their appointees wrong." . . .

"And that side is the wrong one.

"Traditionally, experts in criminal justice, policing and safety are people who are opposed to criminals.

"Not people whose experience is of supporting criminals or actually being criminals.

"Take the appointment of Lumumba Bandele to serve on the soon-to-be mayor’s “Committee on Community Organizing.”

" 'As well as being a black nationalist, Bandele has spent his career supporting people who have killed cops in New York and New Jersey.

"That’s nice news for all the NYPD officers who put their lives on the line every day in this city.

Advocates for bad guys

"Then there’s the appointment of Sarita Daftary from a group called “Freedom Agenda.”

"This group describes itself as being “dedicated to organizing people and communities directly impacted by incarceration to achieve decarceration and system transformation.”" . . .

Wrong predictions? Never mind

Cal Thomas  

"The line Democrats and the media are now promoting is that people aren't "feeling" the improved economy. When they start to feel it, likely by next spring, what will their line be then?" 

  "End of the year predictions about the future have been around at least since the days of Nostradamus, but what about past predictions? There were plenty of predictions that electing Donald Trump the first time and then reelecting him, would cause economic Armageddon.                "Democrats and their media mouthpieces have consistently predicted monetary collapse from President Trump's policies. This year alone, editorials in The New York Times, The Washington Post and most "reporting" by mainstream networks have claimed with absolute certainty that the president's tariffs would tank the economy. 

    "Now comes a column in The Washington Post by author and investor Zachary Karabell, who writes "The Edgy Optimistic" on Substack. He says that after Trump's tariff announcement last April 2, "Most observers predicted sharply higher inflation, domestic and global economic contraction, and widespread spikes in unemployment. None of that happened." In fact, inflation is way down from what it was during the Biden administration, the stock market is setting new records, gas prices have dropped way below what they were during the Biden years, and prices for groceries are starting to fall, though less quickly. Karabell writes: "2025 ends on a positive note for the economy, in terms of the numbers and relative to expectations in April. That should be celebrated."

"When confronted by Chevy Chase that her editorial response was wrong, she responded "never mind." Being a liberal means never having to say you were wrong, much less apologize. Consider what New York Times economics columnist Paul Krugman wrote after Donald Trump was first elected president in 2016:"Now comes the mother of all adverse effects — and what it brings with it is a regime that will be ignorant of economic policy and hostile to any effort to make it work. So we are very probably looking at a global recession, with no end in sight." Krugman doubled down on his prediction of economic disaster if Trump was re-elected in 2024. Wrong again. Never mind." . . . More...

In-N-Out President Makes Host Go Silent with the Real Reason They’re Leaving California

The Rubin Report 

"Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" shares a DM clip of In-N-Out Burger President Lynsi Snyder telling "Relatable's" Allie Beth Stuckey why she's joining the California exodus and moving In-N-Out's HQ to Tennessee." WATCH Dave Rubin's DIRECT MESSAGE:


Comments to the video:
"Gavin Newsom is the worst governor in the history of California." ~Victor Davis Hanson, 2025

"As a soon to be ex-California resident, I can tell you that she is speaking the truth. My wife and I have been here some thirty years, but we're done. The place has become a complete cesspool of the undesirable; expensive, dangerous, and a terrible place to raise your kids. Our kids are all older, three that are twenty to thirty-four years of age, so we were fortunate enough to raise them during the good years. But CA with Gov Nuisance to guide the state, has become one of the worst places to live in America, second only to NY. Goodbye and good luck to those still living here."


Jimmy Kimmel continues to lie, pretends he's the victim — fire him!

 Andrea Peyser  

In reality, Kimmel’s six-day suspension stemmed from him wrongly declaring that the revered Turning Point founder’s alleged killer, Tyler Robinson, was a MAGA Republican rather than what he truly was: an amped-up leftist who lived with a transgender lover and was sexually obsessed with furries.


"Jimmy Kimmel should be fired — for real, this time.
"The sparsely watched late-night talk show host was suspended briefly this year by his bosses at ABC, not because he took on President Donald Trump, as he whined. It was because he made sick jokes about the assassination of conservative icon Charlie Kirk, raising the national temperature in an age of gross political violence.
"At a delicate time in this nation’s history, Kimmel’s remarks not only could be construed as an incitement to murder, his words were stupid, petulant and incredibly inaccurate.
"And he was unapologetic, even after he was able to keep his job!
"His latest musings, rambled on Christmas Day, were grandiose, self-serving and traitorous, striking a new low, even for him.
"Kimmel leaped across the pond to England where he again cranked up the leftist political volume, slamming the president and throwing in a claim that he is a victim of “facism.”  More...

ANDY NGO REPORTS: Convicted Portland Antifa bomber praises Charlie Kirk assassination, urges more killings in prison blog posts

More...

 American News  

"Muhammad’s writings from prison — including his praise of Kirk’s killing and advocacy of “the bullet” over the ballot — underscore how Antifa’s most violent figures are celebrated as heroes to emulate."


The most violent BLM-Antifa militant convicted in Portland’s 2020 riots has been revealed to have celebrated the assassination of Charlie Kirk and urged more political violence in writings apparently produced from prison.

“Charlie Kirk was a direct threat to us, and he has been dispensed,” wrote inmate Malik Fard Muhammad in a Sept. 26 blog post on a site run by his Antifa comrades. “We’ve had the ballot since the ’60s and it hasn’t changed a thing. The bullet is much quicker and more effective — gratifying, too.”

"Muhammad — a self-described anarchist, “antifascist” and abolitionist — is serving a ten-year sentence in a state prison in eastern Oregon. He was convicted on multiple state and federal charges, including attempted murder, riot, assault, unlawful firearm possession and possession/manufacture of destructive devices." . . .

“My name is Malik Farrad Muhammad,” one post reads. “I’m a 26-year-old black/Palestinian pansexual Muslim… I’m an anarchist antifascist, anti-racist abolitionist.”
"Investigators said Muhammad traveled from Indianapolis to Portland during the 2020 riots after receiving terrorism training in Louisville. Over the course of four separate riots in September and October, he allegedly distributed bats to rioters and threw Molotov-style explosives toward police. One device exploded and severely burned another rioter." . . .

Calls for Tim Walz to Be Held Accountable Follow Shocking Viral Video Showing Rampant Fraud in Somali Communities

 Tanya Stoyanovich  

“Politicians like it because they get power. Welfare cheats like it because they get rich,” Vance wrote. “But it’s a zero sum game, and they’re stealing both money and political power from Minnesotans.”


"Independent journalist Nick Shirley released a 42-minute video showing multiple Minnesota childcare centers appearing completely inactive, including one that received millions in taxpayer funds despite no visible children or operations.
"The footage focuses on the Quality Learning Center in Minneapolis, where the sign misspells “learning” as “learing.” Licensed for up to 99 children, the facility showed no activity during a weekday visit, yet it collected approximately $4 million in state Child Care Assistance Program funds over recent years, with $1.9 million in 2025 alone. When approached, a woman shouted “Don’t open up. It’s ICE,” assuming the visitors were immigration agents.
"Shirley’s investigation uncovered over $110 million in potential fraud across several sites in one day, describing it as the tip of the iceberg. He visited other centers tied to similar funding, finding locked doors, no staff, and no children present.
"This exposure comes amid Minnesota’s massive welfare fraud scandal, where federal prosecutors estimate over $1 billion stolen from social service programs, much linked to the Twin Cities Somali community. The infamous Feeding Our Future case alone involved $250 million diverted from child nutrition funds, with some money allegedly reaching terror groups like Al-Shabaab. Dozens have been convicted, and investigations continue into autism services, housing, and childcare programs.
"High-profile figures quickly reacted. Vice President JD Vance called it a microcosm of immigration fraud, stating politicians gain power while cheats get rich, stealing from citizens."




Has the GOP Turned the Corner in the Battle for the House?

 RedState   

Without a recession or depression, a “blue wave” for the Democrats is almost impossible. The recent economic situation likely takes a “credible recession or stagflation scenario off the table,” which “weakens the economic grievances that typically power midterm punishment.” 

politicallyincorrecthumor.com

"In an interview with Politico, President Trump commented about the upcoming 2026 mid-term elections:

I think it’s going to be about the success of our country.  It’ll be about pricing.  Because, you know, they (the Biden administration) gave us high pricing, and we’re bringing it down.  Energy’s way down.  Gasoline is way down.

"He also said he is confident Americans will be receptive to his economic message - that his administration is cleaning up the mess he inherited from Biden. 

"Addressing inflation and blaming former President Biden is a smart strategy for getting out the GOP base and other Trump voters, which have trouble turning out when the president isn’t on the ballot.  

"But you already know that; it is what I suggested the Trump team do.

"However, it does seem that the economy and inflation are turning a corner in favor of the GOP.  Politico had to report (in a disappointed tone) that the “economy is hotter than expected,” growing at an annualized rate of 4.3 percent in the third quarter.  They also wrote that inflation “cooled to an annual rate of 2.7 percent in November, the smallest year-over-year increase since July.”  

"Energy prices, especially, have seen marked reductions.

The recent economic situation likely takes a “credible recession or stagflation scenario off the table,” which “weakens the economic grievances that typically power midterm punishment.”  And as I said before, if the inflation rate in 2026 “continues to stay at around 3.0 percent, it would be unprecedented for the “in-party” Republicans to be punished by the electorate based on high inflation from four years ago.”

Running reporters ragged

 Don Surber; Substack   "Trump's White House South gives him time to golf, talk to heads of state, and blow up ISIS encampments"



"In Trump’s second presidency, the nation marches on and the twits in the media have to work over the holidays. The poor silly saps have had to come up with their own lines because the DNC doesn’t have enough money to staff peddle their talking points, narratives and lies.
"You haven’t heard?
The Democrat Party’s principal fundraising committee saw donations slump in the second-to-last month of the year, recording just a $12 million campaign war chest and almost $16 million still in debt due to a loan taken out the previous month, Federal Election Commission filings show.
The fundraising doldrums come amid party infighting over whether to release a 2024 autopsy report on the failed Biden-Harris campaign and pressure ahead of the critical 2026 midterms, in which Democrats want to retake Congress.
The Democratic National Committee listed a little more than $12.6 million cash on hand, $10.7 million raised, and $15.9 million in debts in its FEC filing for November, with national Republicans accusing their opponents of “drowning” in their obligations to pay off bills.
"Boo hoo hoo. Maybe Nancy the Inside Trader can bail them out.

More California

California coasties kept Newsom in office and brought them all this. Gen Z people, trash those Keffiyehs, burn those "River to the Sea" signs, and find some wisdom! 

California kills gasoline  

"Not only are gas stations closing, but refineries are shutting down, too. One up north and one down south, two of the biggest in the state, are simply ending operations rather than trying to comply with new, onerous regulations that dictate how they can do business, how much fuel they must store, and more." . . .


"Life is getting more inconvenient here in the “golden” state. In the last few weeks, three of our neighborhood gas stations have closed down permanently. Another closed a few months before. It’s no longer easy to fill one’s tank—some travel time must be built in, rather than in the old days of a quick jaunt of a mile or less. And no, we don’t have declining gas prices like the rest of the US; quite the opposite. I paid $4.59 for regular this week. Predictions are that’s just the beginning of the climb." . . .

. . . "Something similar is currently happening with local trash pick-up fees. A law aimed at keeping organic waste out of landfills was enacted ten years ago and has just taken effect. Now every city has additional costs for separate curbside containers and more expensive trash processing, costs passed on in higher sanitation fees to city residents and businesses. Take it up with the former governor.

"The current governor, however, is fully to blame for oil refineries closing in California. Phillips 66 is closing its Los Angeles refinery by the end of the year, and a Valero refinery in Benicia is set to shut down in April. These closures are expected to push gas prices up to even more painful levels.

"One reason this is happening is that Gov. Gavin Newsom called two special sessions of the legislature to pass laws with the stated purpose of cracking down on oil companies for the crime of, well, there actually was no crime. Just the crackdown." . . .

California 'wealth tax' proposal has its billionaires preparing to flee     Wait a minute! Aren't these the coasties I referred to above? TD

"Norway passed a 1% wealth tax in 2022, and every successful tech entrepreneur bailed to Switzerland (and net tax revenue actually went down). Nobody tries to drown the golden goose of California tech more than its politicians."


"[White House Advisor David Sacks] on California’s Billionaire Tax Act “ 'A wealth tax has been tried in many places at many times. It always backfires because whatever the tax benefit is that you get for the state, it's greatly outweighed by the economic depression that you get by the wealthy people, the job creators, the companies, leaving.' ”

A state with virtually every advantage is being driven into the ground by Marxists
like Gavin Newsom. California’s only hope appears to be a Newsom presidency where California would bankrupt America to keep its socialist nightmare afloat.

CNN and MS NOW totally ignore the growing Minnesota fraud scandal involving Somali immigrants

Peter Barry Chowka   

"American Thinker, of course, has been following this story since it first broke nationally this past fall, with yesterday’s blog by Andrea Widburg, “Third World cultures have a corruption problem, and Democrats capitalize on it,” being of particular note." 

"The cost of the “industrial level” fraud in Minnesota, reportedly perpetrated mostly by Somali immigrants, has now grown to $9 billion, according to federal prosecutors. But you would never know this – or anything else about the growing scandal – if you rely on CNN or MS NOW (formerly MSNBC) for your news.

"Mediaite, a left-of-center news site focusing on politics and the media, reported on this blackout in an insightful opinion piece by Sean James published yesterday afternoon (Dec. 28).

A review of MS NOW and CNN’s broadcasts since December 18 — when prosecutors claimed the fraud operation was much larger than previously reported — shows it has not been mentioned a single time by either outlet [CNN and MS NOW]. Both outlets do not have stories on the fraud scheme on their respective websites, either. . . This is the biggest domestic story of the past month — and MS NOW and CNN have failed their viewers by ignoring it.

"Conservatives who eschew FOX News do so at their own peril. As the Mediaite article continues: “For comparison, Fox News has covered the topic dozens of times since then.”

"As a frequent watcher of the country’s number one cable news channel, I can attest to the fact that in recent weeks FOX News has covered the story frequently without fear or favor. In addition, numerous FOX News programs have welcomed many guests, including Republican members of Congress, who are talking about the fraud and proposing investigations into Minnesota Democrats for their possible complicity and looking the other way in the scandal.

"According to the New York Post, the fraud scheme in Minnesota was the work of “dozens of people — the vast majority from Minnesota’s Somali community.” . . .  More...

From Refugee to Scandal Magnet

Omar's tenure is a laundry list of red flags: alleged fraud that could void her citizenship, finances laced with self-interest, rhetoric that poisons dialogue, and a worldview that scorns her adopted home. Her pattern of behavior demands expulsion, not elevation. Her scandals eclipse her service.


"It seems like not a day goes by without another Democrat crime, scandal, or faux pas. Leading the charge in the Left's race to the bottom is Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN). This character's name is repeatedly in the news for allegations of immigration fraud, financial misconduct, inflammatory rhetoric, and a seeming disdain for the nation that granted her refuge. These issues have lately escalated from whispers to potential grounds for deportation. Her conduct raises profound questions about her integrity, loyalty, and judgment, rendering her profoundly unfit for public office." . . .

Iran declares ‘total war’ against US, Israel and Europe as Islamic Republic seeks to expand nuclear capabilities

 NY Post  

Israeli sources claim that the Islamic Republic is repairing its air defense systems and rebuilding its ballistic missile program, both of which were destroyed by airstrikes during the war, according to an NBC report. 


"Iran’s president declared they were in a “total war” with the US, Israel and Europe, just as Tehran looks to rebuild its nuclear capabilities and strengthen ties with Hamas.
"Masoud Pezeshkian made the bold statement in an interview published in state media Saturday, Barron’s reported.
" 'In my opinion, we are at total war with the United States, Israel and Europe. They want to bring our country to its knees,” Pezeshkian said.
"The claims come amid UN sanctions on Iran — orchestrated by France, Britain and Germany — due to the regime’s continued pursuit of nuclear weapons." . . .
