What is he doing..

I didn't think it possible, but America might actually say " grandpa trump, tone it down. You're being a little too racist"

There’s no need for a war on Christianity today, but inherent to the current grift revenue model is that the delusional cultists impose their beliefs on everyone. Every time you elect Republicans you bring theocracy closer to reality and that’s when there will be no other option. I don’t recommend crossing that line with me or my family.

57 countries abstained from demanding that russia returns all Ukrainian children who have been forcibly transferred or deported Mainly: Middle East, India/Pakistan/Bangladesh, China, Southeast Asia, former USSR countries Not surprised for the most part, it's always interesting to observe these votes on government level and match the discussions I encountered with people from these countries. https://x.com/UN_News_Centre/status/1996325239966359581

Big hypocrisy alert: Hegseth now U.S. Secretary of Defense just slammed six Democrats for urging service members to refuse ā€œillegal orders.ā€ ļæ¼ But back in 2016, he said almost the same thing meaning what he now criticizes as ā€œseditiousā€ was once, in his own words, acceptable. ļæ¼ The call from those lawmakers: obey the Constitution and refuse orders that break the law. Under military justice standards, soldiers must disobey ā€œmanifestly unlawful orders.ā€ ļæ¼ So this isn’t about politics only it’s about principle. When the law and morality clash with orders, blind loyalty becomes dangerous. Source: TIME / AFP / Reuters / military-law background.

Mean while in Chicago – Alders refuse the Corporate Head Tax but want to increase garbage pickup fees. The Head Tax charges corporations with more than 100 employees $21 dls per person and would impact less than 2% of business in Chicago. I think the threshold should be 500+ instead of 100. Big corporations can afford this, why do we insist in offloading cost to people who are not making millions?

I'm not holding out a ton of hope for humanity to negotiate world peace, when shoe manufacturers can't even agree on what a size 10 shoe is.

Whenever Trump comments on Biden's pardons, as he has done this week, it is more a reflection of his own history of pardons than anything else. In regard to the "autopen", what is more likely, that Biden used an autopen to sign 80 pardons or Trump using one to sign 1500+ (mostly Jan 6th related) pardons so far this term?

Fraud Scandal Involving the Somali Minority in Minnesota Minnesota, a Midwestern U.S. state with a Somali-American community of about 80,000 people, has witnessed large-scale fraud scandals over the past decade involving welfare and social service programs that, according to federal prosecutors, have cost taxpayers more than $1 billion. Prosecutors say most of the defendants are from Minnesota’s Somali community, while Somali community leaders and Democrats call this ā€œpoliticizationā€ and blame the scandals on state oversight failures. šŸ“Œ Cases: šŸ“ Largest Case: Feeding Our Future ($250–300 million) This case, the largest COVID-19–era fraud, involved stealing federal child nutrition funds through the nonprofit Feeding Our Future. Criminals used fake invoices for nonexistent meals, funneling money through shell nonprofits and hawala networks. Seventy-eight people have been charged and 59 convicted; most of the defendants are of Somali descent. Prosecutors say more than 200 fake food sites were created, with only a small fraction of meals being real. šŸ“ Medicaid Housing Services Fraud ($302 million) From 2021 to 2024, the scheme targeted Medicaid’s Housing Stabilization Services. Defendants, including people of Somali descent, received state funds for housing services that were never provided. At least eight defendants, including Somali nationals, have been convicted. šŸ“ Autism Treatment Fraud ($14 million) This case involves fake autism diagnoses and bribing parents to enroll children in treatment programs. Several defendants are Somali-American; one conviction worth $7.2 million was overturned in December 2025. šŸ“Œ Political Reactions and Criticism The scandals became national news after comments by Trump, who called Minnesota a ā€œmoney-laundering hubā€ and demanded the deportation of those charged. The governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz (who was selected as Kamala Harris’s running mate in the 2024 election), and Democrats rejected these claims, accusing Republicans of ā€œdemonizing immigrants.ā€ Critics accuse Walz of ignoring whistleblower warnings about the fraud since 2021, and a 2025 poll showed that 56% of Minnesotans believe the state did not do enough. šŸ“Œ Federal Investigations and Security Concerns The Department of Justice has secured dozens of convictions and is investigating whether some stolen funds were sent abroad (including to terrorist groups such as al-Shabaab). In November 2025, Trump revoked Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Somali nationals, sparking protests from local leaders. Somali community advocates acknowledge the involvement of some individuals but warn against judging the entire community. These scandals—at least 28 since 2019—have increased political and cultural tensions in Minnesota, and the recovery of stolen funds has been slow due to a lack of cooperation from state officials. Federal investigations continue and may result in additional charges.
