The massive social‑services fraud carried out in Gov. Tim Walz’s Minnesota has been one of the top stories of the year as “The Quality Learing Center” came into our national lexicon and people like Walz and Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-05) kept saying, “nothing to see here, folks.” Now the chickens have come home to roost for one of the masterminds, however, and she will be staring at concrete walls for many a year. Cry me a river: “It was never my goal to do this.” Say what? You defrauded the people for hundreds of millions of dollars, and it was an accident?

And so, the indictments on the fraud front just keep rolling in, and yes, this is what we voted for. In the latest, 15 people have been indicted in a fraud scheme in (where else) Minnesota, that may have seen the alleged perps defraud the American taxpayers to the tune of $90 million. That is, as someone once said, a big freakin' deal. Director Patel's post is on the long side for X, but it's worth the look: That's a good thing; these indictments should be followed by a swift trial and, if the accused are convicted, lengthy prison terms.

The DNC has finally released its 2024 election autopsy, and if you were hoping for a moment of genuine Democratic self-reflection, prepare to be disappointed. The report took forever to see the light of day, and DNC Chairman Ken Martin's explanation for the delay was something else. "When I received the report late last year, it wasn't ready for primetime — not even close — and because no source material was provided, it would have meant starting over. I could not in good faith put the DNC's stamp of approval on the report that was produced,"

Is there something in the water right now? Yet another massive fraud scheme has been dragged into the sunlight, this one from Ohio, and the reported numbers are staggering. Possibly, in the billions. First, the Daily Wire's Luke Rosiak, earlier in May, blew the lid off what he describes as widespread fraud and abuse, posting the results of his investigation on X. Incentives matter. This particular program is not just asking for fraud; it's down on its knees begging for fraud, so we shouldn't be surprised when people answer the call. This may as well have been an engraved invitation. Here are just a few of the things Mr. Rosiak uncovered:

Five people in Greater Manchester have been arrested over allegations of fraud linked to the local elections in Tameside involving the alleged fielding of fake independent candidates to split the anti-Labour vote. The Telegraph has the story. It follows an investigation by the Manchester Mill website, which claimed fake independent candidates were put forward by the Tameside Labour group in a bid to split votes for opposition parties. Manchester Mill reported allegations that internal messages had been posted in WhatsApp groups connected to the party, discussing planting fake independent candidates on the ballot paper.

With the 2026 midterm primary season coming into high gear, most in the media have focused on recent races in which longtime incumbent Republicans like Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) and U.S. Republican Rep. Thomas Massie (KY-4) have lost their reelection bids. While those elections certainly deserve attention, a more significant development is the fact that the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is mobilizing their hundreds of “chapters” to “prepare for a busy election season in 2026.” So far, the “DSA’s ambitious electoral agenda in 2026” includes nearly “90 endorsees, including more than a dozen congressional candidates.”

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel announced that a former Department of Justice (DOJ) U.S. attorney was charged with stealing “confidential investigation documents” relating to former special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation of President Donald Trump. In a post on X, Patel revealed that Carmen Lineberger, 62, had “allegedly emailed the confidential material” to her personal email, and in an effort to cover them up “from record searches,” they were labeled as “dessert recipes.” “”This afternoon, a former managing assistant U.S. Attorney who supported Jack Smith’s politicized investigation of President Trump has been charged with stealing the confidential investigation documents,” Patel said.

President Donald Trump's Department of Education is approaching skill and education access at two different levels, the post-graduate level and in the critical skilled trades, according to Education Secretary Linda McMahon. On Monday, McMahon spotlighted a critical U.S. workforce challenge: for every five skilled trades workers retiring, only about two are entering the field. Without intervention, the nation could face a shortfall of roughly 2.1 million jobs by 2030.Under McMahon's leadership and the direction of President Donald Trump, the newly implemented Workforce Pell Grant program is a direct response, aiming to train Americans quickly for high-demand, high-wage careers.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger failed Tuesday night to clinch enough votes for one of the two spots in the runoff for the Republican primary for Georgia governor, losing to Lt. Gov. Burt Jones and health care executive Rick Jackson. Raffensperger secured just 14% of the vote, according to the Associated Press, compared to Jones' 37% and Jackson's 34%. Jones is considered the favorite to win the nomination after President Donald Trump endorsed his campaign. Another closely watched race in Georgia is its Senate race, where Republicans are hoping to defeat Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff in November.

The newly uncovered message reveals that the October 7 invasion was never intended to be a limited or isolated terrorist attack. It was conceived as the opening phase of a much broader regional war aimed at destroying Israel and replacing it with an Islamist entity backed by the Iranian regime and its proxies. According to documents captured by the IDF, Hamas leaders had already begun formulating plans for a multi-front war against Israel as early as 2022. Additional evidence of this strategic coordination emerged two months ago, with details leaked regarding a highly aggressive secret letter reportedly sent by Hamas leaders to Iran's new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei.

Apocalyptic climate-change predictions were box-office gold for Hollywood but they did untold damage to the public psyche, economy and the average man’s pocketbook. Now the United Nations’ influential climate change committee has quietly discarded the dire temperature-rise scenarios used in two previous reports predicting horrific consequences of global warming if greenhouse emissions weren’t curbed. For years, lefty outfits — based on dubious climate science — screamed about the coming climate catastrophe: The New York Times warned that “Climate Change Is Harming The Planet Faster Than We Can Adapt,” “Climate Change Is Speeding Toward Catastrophe” and “A Hotter Future Is Certain.”

The story plays out the same way virtually every time. Democrats, egged on by the increasingly powerful progressive base, push some obviously unconstitutional scheme that they contended is needed to preserve “democracy.” The courts inevitably knock down the ploy. Frustrated, Democrats ratchet up the anger, promising to “reform” the judiciary that stands in their way. Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) recently argued on the House floor that the next Democratic White House “does not need a court reform commission like some college seminar. We need action. We need term limits for justices. We need to expand this morally bankrupt Supreme Court from 9 to 13.” Do we? Great, let’s do it today.
