When it comes to fighting fraud, nobody fights it like Tim Walz and Keith Ellison . This investigative report states "Minnesota Medicaid fraud: Claims against 7 providers date to 2020. Why were charges filed in 2026? Court records show fraud allegations against seven Minnesota providers date back years before charges were filed. The allegations are tied to a nationwide fraud operation involving hundreds of suspects and more than $6.5 billion. In Minnesota, the Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit said it built cases around seven providers accused of billing more than $700,000 for personal care work they either did not provide or were not licensed to provide. Charging documents against some of those seven providers say the alleged fraudulent activity dates back to 2020 , so 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS asked the state why charges weren’t filed until 2026." Predictably, the AG's office deployed the 'government shuffle'tactic to protect themselves: "Generally spe...

I hate thinking that a federal judge might not be impartial in the administration and application of federal law, especially when it applies to issues of homeland security. Still, that's what I'm forced into considering now that U.S. District Court Chief Judge Patrick Schiltz has granted a "motion to quash" subpoenas that "were served Jan. 20 on the offices of Gov. Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her, and the Hennepin and Ramsey County boards of commissioners." The reason I'm questioning Chief Judge Schiltz's ruling is because "Some reporters have highlighted Schiltz’s past donations to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota, which provides free legal services to illegal immigrants." When there's smoke regarding illegal aliens, there's fire. That's like the judge that contributed to Joe Biden's presidential campaign, then ruled against Donald Trump. Why is a judge...

Zohran Mamdani and Bernie Sanders appear to have a socialist death wish for the Democrat Party. They're insisting on a full-scale socialist takeover of the Democrat Party. There's a question that the corporate media hasn't asked that's kinda like 'the Dog That Didn't Bark.' The media's coverage is long on who's up or down but it's been devoid of whether socialism works. I think the reason coverage is that way is because journalists know that socialism doesn't work. Imagine how difficult it'd be if journalists had to write that there's never been a thriving middle class in a socialist nation in the past 125 years anywhere in the world. The former Soviet Union didn't have a middle class, thriving or otherwise. China doesn't have a middle class. In 2025, the U.S. GDP was just short of 30,000,000,000,000. China's GDP was just over $18,000,000,000,000. They have the top 2 GDPs in the world. That's where the similarities en...

This afternoon, I got into a nice phone call with Bernie Perryman, the legislator that I hope replaces Aric Putnam in the Minnesota State Senate for SD-14. I've known Bernie since 2010, when we both played unofficial roles in Michele Bachmann's congressional campaign. Minnesota's economy used to be vibrant, bristling with innovation and productivity. These days, thanks to a big influx of socialism, a high regulatory regime and high taxes, Minnesota's economy has stagnated. Thanks in large part to high property taxes caused by unfunded mandates to schools, Minnesota is one of the worst states in terms of affordability. Bernie is a small businessperson who knows how to get the economy running again. On her campaign website, Bernie wrote "As a small business owner, I know how hard it’s been for our Main Street businesses to survive and get their legs back under them after the pandemic. Inflation, supply chain and workforce challenges, and gas prices all are putting a...

Sunday night on Life, Liberty & Levin , host Mark Levin's opening monologue was considerably sharper than usual. Part of Levin's monologue caught my attention because it involves polling data, which is rarely part of Levin's monologues. Part of the polling asked "Which outcome do you most prefer to see in Iran?" When asking only MAGA Republicans, 'Regime change' registered at 51% while 25% preferred 'Negotiated settlement.' Next, the Reagan Institute Summer Survey asked all Republicans "Which outcome do you most prefer to see in Iran?" The results didn't change, with 50% saying they preferred regime change while 25% said negotiated settlement. Whether asking MAGA Republicans or regular Republicans, the results don’t change. They want regime change, which means they prefer winning. Seeing is believing . The Republican Party, in general, wants the U.S.-led coalition to have something rock-solid to show for 2+ months of war and ceas...

This morning, President Trump issued an ultimatum to Iran . Let's hope this is President Trump's final ultimatum before he blows them to smithereens. The time for dancing is over. It's time for serious men to enter the picture. It's time for a man with President Reagan's moral certainty to step into this situation. While this isn't the equivalent of the Cuban Missile Crisis, it's a grave, once=in-a-lifetime situation. It's obvious that President Trump doesn't grasp the situation. When he said "Iran must immediately stop their highly paid PROXIES in Lebanon from causing trouble. If they don’t, we’ll hit Iran very hard again, just like we did last week, only harder!!!" That's meaningless. The IRGC and Besij are messianic. They can't wait for the return of the twelfth imam, which they think will start the end times. In painstaking detail, Mark Levin lays out in exquisite detail what's happened and what's likely to happen: Mark ...
