Now that Canada, France and the U.K. have announced that they'll recognize the Palestinians' right to statehood, Hamas has tiptoed to the edge of ending negotiations with the West , especially ending them with Israel. Further, Democrats are threatening to cut off military supplies to Israel. Apparently, Democrats are pro-terrorist. What else would cause them to abandon Israel? Hamas didn't negotiate in good faith with Israel. They didn't even negotiate with them face-to-face. It negotiated through their Qatari intermediaries. Hamas always counted on France, U.K. and other western European wimps to produce this outcome. Now it's up to President to make Macron, Starmer and Carney pay for their rewarding terrorists. If President Trump doesn't force Canada, France and the U.K. to pay a price for their recognition of the Palestinians as a nation, then he will have lost the peace. The feeling within the government is that the talks are nearing collapse, an Israeli off...

If it seems like new details about Minnesota's Medicaid fraud find their way into the news each day, that's because it isn't perception. It's reality. The Minnesota Reformer is reporting that "Minnesota first launched the program in 2020, estimating that it would cost $2.6 million per year. Claims exploded, however, reaching more than $104 million by 2024 , according to the search warrant affidavit." That type of expansion of the Housing Stabilization Services program, unfortunately, isn't surprising. The DFL often start programs off as inexpensive or downright cheap. Once the program is started, though, the program almost always gets real expensive real quick. This is just another example of that pattern. The Reformer is also reporting that "Dozens of housing stabilization providers were already being investigated in May, KARE 11 reported. Legislators increased requirements for housing stabilization agencies in response to fraud concerns, including...

Fox9 News rana report showing just how dysfunctional Minnesota state government is. According to this Fox9 news report , Minnesota is the slowest Midwestern state in issuing RealDs. In bullet points at the top of Fox9's report, it says: Real IDs in Minnesota are still backlogged by 90 days. Neighboring Midwest states take at most 30 days. The Minnesota Department of Public Safety says it’s looking at options to lower the wait time. Here's a report card on neighboring states. Iowa: In Iowa, it’s about a week's wait to get an appointment to apply for a Real ID, then it takes up to a month to receive it in the mail. North Dakota/South Dakota: In South Dakota, the person taking the paperwork will hand the customer their Real IDs. It's the same process in North Dakota, and when they got an influx of applications, the thing that changed the most was the wait time to get an appointment. Wisconsin: In Wisconsin, they get their new real ID in the mail within 10 business days....

Zohran Mamdani is a smooth-sounding liar who likely won't protect New York from criminal aliens. CBS New York is reporting that "In the aftermath of the tragic shooting that killed Officer Islam and three other people on Park Avenue, Mamdani took great pains to wrap himself in NYPD blue and explain his views on policing and how to keep New Yorkers safe. He put a special focus on an old tweet in which he called for disbanding the Strategic Response Group, the NYPD's special operations unit that responded to the Park Avenue shooting." There are just 2 things wrong with that report. First, unlike the 2020 tweet in which he first said that he wanted to defund the police, which was quite a while ago, the tweet where he called for disbanding "the Strategic Response Group, the NYPD's special operations unit that responded to the Park Avenue shooting," that tweet only happened in December 2024. That's just 7 months ago as opposed to his 'defund-the-pol...

Tim Walz has a different definition for solving Minnesota's pervasive Medicaid fraud crisis. Gov. Walz's definition of solving Medicaid fraud apparently includes admitting failure. That's the signal he's sending by halting "payments to dozens of providers in a state program that is now at the center of another federal fraud investigation ." This time, the taxpayers' money is getting stolen from "50 Housing Stabilization Services (HSS) providers flagged for suspicious billing activity." I'd love to hear Gov. Walz's explanation for why this wasn't detected months ago. Further, I'd love to hear how much of the taxpayers' money has been ripped off this time. Remember that it's estimated that Feeding Our Futures fraud cost taxpayers $300,000,000. (That's what's been proven in federal prosecutions of Feeding Our Futures.) The federal government has led this investigation. According to this report, "Alpha News was on...

It's become obvious that Democrats don't care about preventing crime or stopping illegal aliens from entering our nation. Katie Pavlich's article proves that beyond a shadow of a doubt. Katie reports that "As the Department of Homeland Security continues to carry out President Donald Trump's mass deportation of criminal illegal aliens in cities across the country, the number of sex offenders being taken off the streets is astonishing. In Houston alone, more than 200 child sex offenders have been arrested since January." That's totally believable, especially after reading this article . In the article from San Antonio, it reports that Rep. Tony Gonzales "confirmed on Friday more than 662,000 undocumented immigrants with criminal histories have been released into U.S. communities. " The article continues, saying "According to a press release by Rep. Tony Gonzales' office, on March, 13, 2024, Congressman Tony Gonzales (TX-23) wrote a lette...
