🛑Washington Democrats Advance Legislation Reducing Consequences for Child Sex Sting Offenders
Four Democratic state senators in Washington sponsored Senate Bill 5312 to lessen penalties for first-time offenders convicted in undercover sting operations targeting attempted sexual abuse of minors. The bill limits sex offender registration to five years in the community without new offenses instead of the current ten years for certain felonies and reduces post-release supervision from lifetime to three years. It applies only to attempts, solicitations, or conspiracies involving crimes like child rape or molestation where no actual minor victim exists and the offender lacks prior predatory history. This follows a November 2025 recommendation by the Washington State Sentencing Guidelines Commission for lighter sentences in such cases, citing lower recidivism rates compared to offenses against real children.

🏛️FBI Headquarters Permanently Closed to Save Taxpayer Dollars
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has permanently closed the outdated J. Edgar Hoover Building in Washington, D.C., relocating headquarters staff to the nearby Ronald Reagan Building in a decision reached through direct collaboration between FBI Director Kash Patel, President Trump, and Congress. This move ends over two decades of unsuccessful efforts to address the Hoover Building’s deteriorating condition, which required more than $300 million in deferred maintenance. Officials scrapped a previous plan for a new suburban headquarters projected to cost nearly $5 billion and delay completion until 2035. The relocation to an existing modern facility provides a secure environment for personnel, enables immediate upgrades, prioritizes field operations over headquarters bureaucracy, and delivers substantial savings to American taxpayers by avoiding extravagant new construction expenses.

📋Ilhan Omar Husband’s Firm Removes Officer Names Amid Wealth Scrutiny
Rose Lake Capital, a $30 million venture capital firm founded in 2022 by Tim Mynett, husband of Representative Ilhan Omar, removed the names and biographies of nine key officers and advisors from its website between September and October 2025. These individuals included prominent Democratic figures such as former Obama administration ambassadors and DNC-affiliated financiers. The changes occurred as questions intensified regarding Omar’s rapid wealth increase—from a negative net worth upon entering Congress to estimates between $6 million and $30 million—and potential connections to a massive Minnesota welfare fraud scandal involving fraudulent claims for children’s meals during the COVID-19 era. Mynett’s firm, operating from a shared office space, has reported substantial assets under management, while Omar has dismissed wealth inquiries as unfounded and her office has declined comment.

🗳Department of Justice Enforces Voter Roll Integrity in Illinois
The U.S. Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit in federal court in Springfield against Illinois to gain access to the state’s unredacted voter registration database as part of enforcing federal requirements for accurate voter list maintenance under the National Voter Registration Act and the Help America Vote Act. This action follows prior formal notices to non-compliant states and makes Illinois at least the 19th state targeted in this systematic effort led by Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon of the Civil Rights Division. Election integrity advocates have expressed strong support for the lawsuit, viewing it as a necessary and non-partisan application of long-standing bipartisan federal laws that mandate states to keep voter rolls clean and accurate. Advocates highlight that concerns over sharing sensitive data are overstated since the federal government issues identifiers like Social Security numbers, and public polls consistently show broad backing for measures ensuring transparent and well-maintained voter rolls to protect the integrity of elections. The Illinois State Board of Elections has declined comment on the pending litigation.

🚨Trump Administration Prioritizes Criminal Illegal Immigrants in ICE Arrests
U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement has arrested approximately 595,000 illegal immigrants from January 20 to December 11, 2025, with roughly 70 percent possessing criminal convictions or facing pending charges in the United States, fulfilling President Trump’s commitment to target the most dangerous offenders first. This data, shared with reporters, excludes additional threats such as individuals wanted for violent crimes abroad, INTERPOL notices, human rights violators, gang members, and terrorists. Examples include arrests of foreigners sought for aggravated homicide, extortion, and terrorism ties in their home countries despite limited or no U.S. criminal records. Administration officials note that illegal presence imposes burdens on law enforcement, education, and taxpayers, rejecting claims that unlawful entry alone is victimless. With an estimated 500,000 to 1 million criminal illegal immigrants and 1.5 million with final deportation orders remaining in the country, ICE operations have relied on local police leads and expanded to workplaces and courthouses. A massive congressional funding increase of $170 billion through 2029 will enable hiring thousands more agents, expanding detention, and intensifying raids, as border czar Tom Homan predicts arrests and deportations will surge dramatically in 2026 to restore public safety amid voter priorities on crime and border security.

🔍Minnesota House Majority Whip Demands Accountability for Minnesota Daycare Fraud
House Majority Whip Tom Emmer demanded explanations from Governor Tim Walz after a viral video highlighted the Quality Learning Center in Minneapolis, which features a sign misspelled as “Quality Learing Center” and received approximately $4 million in taxpayer funds through the Child Care Assistance Program, including $1.9 million in fiscal year 2025, despite appearing empty with no children present during the visit. The center, licensed for up to 99 children and holding a valid license through 2026, accumulated 95 violations between 2019 and 2023 for issues such as failing to secure hazardous items and lacking records for multiple enrolled children. The video captured a woman emerging to shout warnings of ICE presence and refusing engagement, while the facility showed no signs of activity. This incident emerges amid a larger scandal involving at least $1 billion in alleged social services fraud under the Walz administration, primarily linked to programs in the Twin Cities Somali community, with investigations probing potential diversions to the terrorist group Al-Shabab and federal scrutiny from the Treasury Department and HHS.

🛒Ohio Somali Community Faces Allegations of Extensive EBT Fraud
An independent journalist conducting on-the-ground investigations in Columbus has documented alleged widespread abuse of the Electronic Benefit Transfer system within Ohio’s Somali community, the nation’s second-largest. The schemes reportedly involve Somali-owned restaurants attached to or nearby grocery stores, where owners use EBT benefits to purchase bulk ingredients for their cash-based eateries without standard shopping, allowing government funds to subsidize profitable businesses while claiming tax losses on the stores. Additional claims include exploitation through unreported polygamous arrangements, enabling multiple wives to qualify for benefits as single mothers while working full-time jobs. These practices build on prior reports of similar welfare misuse, including observations at locations like the Georgesville Road Walmart, and align with separate allegations of long-standing Medicaid fraud involving falsified home care claims.
💰California’s Accelerating Its Self-Destructive Fiscal Decline with New Taxes
California continues its trajectory of economic challenges as a major health care union advances a ballot initiative for a one-time 5% wealth tax on approximately 200 billionaires with net worth exceeding $1 billion, potentially raising up to $100 billion to address a projected massive shortfall in the state’s health care system driven by anticipated federal funding reductions. The proposal, sponsored by the Service Employees International Union-United Healthcare Workers West, applies retroactively with residency rules tied to 2025 and 2026, prompting reports of high-net-worth individuals like Peter Thiel and Larry Page restructuring ties to the state by establishing entities in lower-tax jurisdictions such as Florida. This development occurs amid ongoing resident and business outflows, with California leading the nation in net domestic migration losses in recent years, alongside persistent budget deficits exceeding $18 billion projected for the coming fiscal year due to elevated spending outpacing revenue growth.

⚡Energy Secretary Orders Indiana Coal Plants Kept Operational for Grid Reliability
Energy Secretary Chris Wright issued emergency orders on December 23 to extend the operation of coal-fired generating units at Indiana’s F.B. Culley and R.M. Schahfer stations beyond their scheduled December retirements until March 23, 2026. The orders direct CenterPoint Energy, Northern Indiana Public Service Company, and the Midcontinent Independent System Operator to ensure these units remain available. This action addresses concerns over potential blackouts in the Midwest by maintaining access to affordable and reliable electricity during winter months when demand peaks and grid stability is critical.

📚UK Teacher Referred to Counter-Terrorism Program Over Trump Videos
A veteran politics teacher in his 50s at Henley College in Oxfordshire was investigated and ultimately forced to resign after showing 17- and 18-year-old students videos featuring President Trump during a lesson on the U.S. election following Trump’s victory. Two students complained that the campaign-related videos demonstrated political bias, were off-topic, and caused emotional harm, including nightmares and discomfort for one student. The college launched an investigation in January 2025, referred the matter to the Local Authority Designated Officer for child safeguarding, and a subsequent report deemed the teacher’s views potentially radical, raising concerns of possible harm to children or even a hate crime. Authorities recommended referral to the government’s Prevent counter-terrorism program as a priority case. The teacher, a longtime educator who supports Republicans but denied biasing his instruction, described the ordeal as dystopian and jarring, noting he was likened to a terrorist. He received a modest payout after resigning from his position.

DON’T MISS OUR FEATURED COMMENTARY:
Islam's Doctrine of Conquest:
A Threat the West Can No Longer Ignore
“…It’s time to dispense with the polite fiction of “radical Islam.” This phrase, so beloved in Western discourse, serves only to obscure an uncomfortable truth: By the benchmarks of liberty, equality, and secularism that define our civilization, a devout Muslim—one who takes the Quran and the Prophet’s example seriously—is precisely what we would call “radical.” The distinction between “moderate” and “extremist” is largely a Western construct, designed to avoid grappling with the religion’s foundational calls for supremacy…”

🗡️Failed Deportation Enables Illegal Migrant’s Stabbing Spree in Paris Metro
A 25-year-old illegal immigrant from Mali, previously convicted of aggravated theft and sexual assault and issued a deportation order after his release from prison in July 2025, remained in France due to administrative hurdles in obtaining necessary travel documents and carried out a series of stabbings targeting three women on Line 3 of the Paris metro between 4:15 p.m. and 4:45 p.m. on December 26, 2025. The attacks occurred at multiple stations, resulting in superficial injuries to the victims that were not life-threatening. Authorities arrested the suspect, described as mentally unstable, shortly afterward, with terrorism ruled out as a motive. France’s interior minister expressed regret over the inability to execute the deportation and reaffirmed commitments to prioritize removals of undocumented foreigners involved in crimes.

📢Britain Scraps “Non-Crime Hate Incidents”, Restoring Common Sense in British Policing
Police leaders in the United Kingdom have determined that non-crime hate incidents, which involve recording perceived acts of hostility or prejudice that do not constitute crimes and remain on records, potentially affecting background checks, are no longer fit for purpose as they undermine freedom of speech and divert resources from actual crime fighting. The College of Policing and National Police Chiefs’ Council plan to scrap the non-crime hate incident system entirely next month, replacing it with a common sense approach where only the most serious incidents are logged as anti-social behaviour or treated as intelligence reports without entry on crime databases. This significant reform, expected to receive backing from Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, addresses concerns over police involvement in monitoring online disputes and trivial matters, stemming from guidance originally introduced after the 1999 inquiry into the murder of Stephen Lawrence, while ensuring officers focus on real threats rather than perceived offenses.

☠️Italian Authorities Uncover Hamas Funding Network Through Charities
Italian law enforcement officials have arrested nine individuals connected to three charitable organizations accused of diverting approximately 7 million euros—equivalent to over $8 million—to Hamas, a designated terrorist organization that controls Gaza and is recognized as such by the United States, the European Union, Israel, and several other nations. The charities presented themselves as collecting donations for humanitarian aid to Palestinians, yet investigators determined that more than 71 percent of the funds were routed through complex triangulation operations involving foreign bank transfers and overseas entities to Hamas-linked associations in Gaza, the Palestinian territories, and Israel, some of which supported families of individuals involved in terrorist activities. Among those detained is Mohammad Hannoun, identified by prosecutors as the leader of Hamas’s Italian cell and president of a Palestinian association in Italy. The operation, praised by Italy’s interior minister as exposing activities masquerading as support for Palestinians while aiding terrorism, involved cooperation with other European Union countries and highlighted ongoing efforts to disrupt terrorist financing networks.
