It is absolutely true that Nick Shirley's one-day video blitz investigation of Somali daycares in Minnesota produced insufficient evidence to put anybody in jail. It's even possible that he made a mistake or two, although given what we already know, the preponderance of the evidence says that most of these daycares are shell companies that exist only to fleece the government. It's not like Shirley's video is the only evidence—the US Attorney is actively prosecuting cases, and now citizen journalists around the country are revealing fake Somali daycares. The State of Minnesota has taken the database of daycares offline, and already, legislators in other states are scrambling to hide

Daycare Fraud

The top legal reporter for Politico.com apparently suggested Tuesday a person can be legally shot for asking questions at the doorsteps of businesses. “At some point, the amateur effort to knock on doors of home daycares intersects with robust stand-your-ground laws,” said a X message from Josh Gerstein, Politico’s “Senior Legal Affairs Reporter.” The threat was likely aimed at independent journalist Nick Shirley, who has precipitated a storm in the mainstream media about large-scale fraud and corruption by ethnic Somali business owners in Minnesota. Many establishment sites, including Politico, have ignored or downplayed the report,

Fewer Americans applied for unemployment benefits last week as layoffs remain low despite a weakening labor market. U.S. applications for jobless claims for the week ending Dec. 27 fell by 16,000 to 199,000 from the previous week’s 215,000, the Labor Department reported Wednesday. Analysts surveyed by the data firm FactSet forecast 208,000 new applications. The weekly report was released a day early due to the New Year’s Day holiday. Applications for unemployment aid are viewed as a proxy for layoffs and are close to a real-time indicator of the health of the job market.

WASHINGTON — The US Department of Health and Human Services is freezing all future child care funding to states beyond Minnesota, with President Trump predicting his administration will find massive fraud in California. The review of government funding started in Minnesota but will be expanded nationwide until feds can determine that no taxpayer dollars are being spent fraudulently. “HHS has a clear duty to verify the proper use of taxpayer funds,” spokesman Andrew Nixon said in a statement. “The documentation process exists to rule out fraud and confirm that funds are supporting legitimate child care providers.

President Trump has announced that there will be a temporary change to how his administration is deploying National Guard troops in some blue cities to shore up safety, and aid local municipalities in repatriating criminal illegal aliens as we move into 2026. Trump shared the move in a post on Wednesday afternoon to followers of his Truth Social account. "We are removing the National Guard from Chicago, Los Angeles, and Portland, despite the fact that CRIME has been greatly reduced by having these great Patriots in those cities,"

Whaddaya know – Donald Trump has told the truth about Jeffrey Epstein. So says the Wall Street Journal, which hasn't exactly been a friendly source for Trump or the administration the past couple of years, especially on the Epstein Files. In fact, their "exclusive" report today springboards off of one of their inglorious moments on this subject – their breathless report on Jeffrey Epstein's birthday book in 2003. The WSJ claimed that Trump had created a message within a sketch of a naked woman, with his signature representing pubic hair. Trump threatened to sue the WSJ for that claim, and strenuously denied ever creating the message

In stark contrast to the unprincipled reactions of both Barack Obama and Old Joe Biden when the Iranian people took to the streets in previous years to protest against the bloodthirsty mullahs of the Islamic Republic, President Donald Trump didn’t hesitate to remark on the unrest in Iran on Monday, and to declare his support for the courageous Iranians who are putting their lives on the line for freedom after enduring 46 years of tyranny. Trump made it clear that he was "not going to talk about overthrow of a regime." He also made clear, however, that the nationwide demonstrations that have once again engulfed Iran have ample justification.

The CIA carried out a drone strike earlier this month on a port facility on the coast of Venezuela, sources familiar with the matter told CNN, marking the first known US attack on a target inside that country. The drone strike, the details of which have not been previously reported, targeted a remote dock on the Venezuelan coast that the US government believed was being used by the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua to store drugs and move them onto boats for shipping, the sources said. No one was present at the facility at the time it was struck, so there were no casualties, according to the sources.

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

Over the last couple of months, the Minnesota fraud scandal has exploded from a local news story to perhaps the number one story in the national (and even international) news. We at American Experiment have been in the middle of the storm. One tweet we did about the Feeding Our Future scandal that was retweeted by Libs of TikTok, Chris Rufo, Elon Musk and many others got 47 million views on X alone. The scandal has now expanded far beyond Feeding Our Future. Joe Thompson, the Assistant U.S. Attorney who has prosecuted the fraud cases, has said publicly

After nearly four months of striking narco-boats in the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean, President Donald Trump has promised land strikes on multiple occasions. The seas are under control, he says, and the land will be much easier. As I've written many times, a lot of folks have taken this to mean he's threatening a boots-on-the-ground war in Venezuela. Even though Trump says he won't rule such a thing out, if you listen carefully to what the president and Marco Rubio say about it, this is not what he's is talking about. He's talking about going after the routes,

"A Somali-run day care is claiming somebody broke in and stole "important documents" as the national spotlight shines on the unfolding multibillion-dollar fraud involving Minnesota human services. Nasrulah Mohamed, manager of Nakomis Daycare Center, told reporters that a suspect entered through the kitchen at the rear of the facility, damaging a wall and breaking into the building's office, sometime Tuesday. He said the alleged prowler stole "important documentation" including children's enrollment information, employee documentation and checkbooks. Mohamed blamed last week's viral video by You Tuber Nick Shirley (snip) Nakomis Day Care Center was not one of the facilities featured in Shirley's video (snip.)

Mali and Burkina Faso have said they are imposing a travel ban on US citizens in response to an equivalent measure announced by the Trump administration earlier this month. In separate statements issued by their foreign ministries late on Tuesday, the two West African countries said they were acting in the name of “reciprocity” after the White House announced on December 16 that President Trump was adding them and five other countries to a list of those subject to a full travel ban.

It might seem that public policy insanity has reached an end in California. After all, what more could the state’s malevolent progressive politics concoct to make it more hostile to business, innovation, enterprise, and hard work than it already is? How about a tax on those who drive the economy? Yes, that should do it. The Service Employees International Union-United Healthcare Workers West and St. John’s Community Health in Los Angeles have teamed up to concoct the 2026 Billionaire Tax Act, a citizen-initiated statute that might appear on the ballot next November. Should it pass, it would levy a “one-time 5% tax on California billionaires in this emergency

The House Majority Whip has some strong — very strong — thoughts on the current fraud scandal engulfing his state. There’s just one problem: The message isn’t quite landing the way he’d probably like it to. Minnesota GOP Rep. Tom Emmer took to X on Monday and absolutely torched the Somali immigrants who’ve been busted in the Gopher State’s ongoing fraud debacle. “I’m calling for the denaturalization and deportation of every Somali engaged in fraud in Minnesota,” Emmer posted, before truly unleashing in a follow-up statement.
It’s Illegal To Warm Up Your Car In
Colorado, Police Reminds Residents

Westminster, Colorado, police warned drivers Monday that warming up your car by leaving it running unattended — “puffing” — is illegal under state law and makes vehicles “easy targets” for thieves. The reminder is part of a broader push by Colorado law enforcement to cut down on cold-weather auto thefts tied to idling cars left unattended in driveways and parking lots. Colorado’s “unattended motor vehicle” statute requires drivers in charge of an unlocked vehicle to stop the engine and remove the key before leaving it, with a limited exception for remote starter systems if the driver takes security measures. “Puffing is also ILLEGAL in Colorado (immobilizing remote start systems excluded)

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy hammered California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) on Tuesday, accusing him of lying about a supposed extension for revoking thousands of commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) issued to non-citizens. Duffy has long been trying to crack down on the practice of issuing CDLs to truckers who, at times, struggle to understand English or read basic road signs. As common sense would dictate, having such drivers on the road is a dangerous (and sometimes deadly) proposition. The Secretary's fiery retort follows a report that the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) was granting a 60-day extension to approximately 17,000 non-domiciled CDL holders.

Every few weeks, like clockwork, another so-called “civil war” breaks out on the right. It’s always framed as some moral emergency, some existential crisis that absolutely must be addressed right here and right now. And almost every time, when you peel back the layers, it’s the same story and the same people causing the divide. No, it’s not some organic grassroots outrage, and it’s never a real scandal. What it is, is power games, political positioning, and people trying to kneecap the parts of the right-wing movement they don’t control: MAGA.

Some of us have been sounding the alarm bells on the following massive fraud scheme that's about to hit Minnesota like a January blizzard. Tim Walz and the Democrats who run the state approved "family leave" legislation that would, ostensibly, give Minnesota workers up to 20 weeks of paid leave for the birth of a child or to care for a spouse, child, or other family member with a serious health condition. But as this writer noted earlier this month, it's fertile ground for another round of billions of dollars of fraud, courtesy the Minnesota taxpayer.

Terrifying footage from a southern Nevada home surveillance video shows the moment a car crashes through a backyard wall, goes airborne and ejects the driver into a private swimming pool. The incident happened late Dec. 15 in Laughlin, according to FOX 5 Las Vegas. According to police and a crash report seen by the outlet, the driver was allegedly speeding moments before failing to stop and slammed into and through the concrete wall. Footage also shows the impact sending the white vehicle rotating through the air in the dark.
