HUD Reveals Biden Administration Enabled Illegal Immigrants’ Access to Taxpayer-Backed Mortgages
The Department of Housing & Urban Development under the Biden-Harris administration permitted illegal immigrants to obtain federally insured FHA-backed mortgages, subsidized by American taxpayers, amid an influx of over 12 million illegal border crossers that strained housing supplies and drove affordability to its lowest point in a generation, while 59% of such households utilized welfare programs at a cost of approximately $42 billion annually to U.S. citizens. HUD Secretary Scott Turner, in a recent Fox Business interview, confirmed this policy reversal initiated in March, stating that the prior administration “turned a blind eye” to the practice, allowing non-permanent residents including DACA recipients to exploit the program despite federal law’s intent to restrict benefits to citizens; the Trump administration has now terminated access for all non-permanent residents, mandated comprehensive audits of public housing occupants, and partnered with the Department of Homeland Security to enforce compliance, ensuring taxpayer resources prioritize American families facing inflated costs from open-border policies and regulatory burdens.
House Oversight Committee Investigates Minnesota Welfare Fraud Cover-Up Under Governor Walz
The House Committee on Oversight & Accountability, led by Chairman James Comer (R-KY), initiated an investigation on December 3, into allegations of extensive fraud in Minnesota’s social services programs during Governor Tim Walz’s administration, focusing on potential cover-ups and retaliation against whistleblowers who aimed to safeguard taxpayer funds. Federal prosecutors have charged dozens, primarily from the Somali community, in schemes involving nonprofits like Feeding Our Future and Smart Therapy, which falsely claimed to provide child nutrition and autism care services, resulting in over $250 million stolen from federal child nutrition programs alone and potentially billions overall from welfare initiatives including Medicaid and housing stability services. Whistleblowers from the Minneapolis Department of Human Services reported that the agency deleted data and withheld records to conceal the fraud, while a former state fraud investigator noted reluctance by Democrat-led regulators to pursue cases involving the Somali community due to fears of negative press and litigation. The committee has requested all related documents and communications from Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison dating back to January 2019, with a deadline of December 17, 2025, to examine what the administration knew and whether it impeded investigations, amid concerns that stolen funds were remitted to Somalia and possibly funneled to the terrorist group al-Shabab. In parallel, the Treasury Department is probing these diversions, and the Trump administration has revoked Temporary Protected Status for Somalis in Minnesota while launching Operation Metro Surge, yielding arrests of several suspects by December 4, 2025.

Media Peddles Anonymous-Source Narrative Tying J6 Pipe Bomber to Trump Despite Contradictory Evidence
Within hours of the FBI arresting 30-year-old Brian Cole Jr. for planting viable pipe bombs at DNC and RNC headquarters on January 5, 2021, the same discredited corporate media apparatus that spent years burying the story suddenly flooded the airwaves with a coordinated, evidence-free claim—fed exclusively by “unnamed law enforcement sources”—that Cole had “confessed” and told investigators he supported President Trump and believed the 2020 election was stolen, a tidy narrative designed to resurrect the dying “MAGA extremist” trope even as public records demolish it: Cole appeared at a 2021 Benjamin Crump press conference decrying anti-Black racism, his family’s bail-bond company sued Trump’s DHS just months before the bombing, and bomb components were purchased in May 2020 when no one was talking about election fraud. Yet again, the activist press shamelessly launders anonymous leaks from the permanent bureaucracy to slander conservatives, while Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro refuse to confirm any political motive, describing a quiet, churchgoing defendant with zero criminal history who still lives with his mother—proof, if any more were needed, that the regime media will invent a pro-Trump villain out of thin air rather than admit they spent four years protecting a bomber whose timeline and associations point anywhere but right-wing politics.

DOJ Seeks Unexplainable Dismissal of Pfizer Vaccine Trial Fraud Suit Amid FDA Child Death Admissions
The U.S. Department of Justice has intervened to permanently dismiss a 2021 False Claims Act lawsuit filed by whistleblower Brook Jackson against Pfizer and its subcontractors Ventavia Research Group and ICON PLC, alleging widespread data falsification, protocol violations, and patient safety lapses during the Phase 3 COVID-19 vaccine clinical trial funded by the Department of Defense’s Operation Warp Speed, which disbursed $3.9 billion to Pfizer; Jackson, a veteran clinical auditor fired the same day she reported issues to the FDA on September 25, 2020, detailed claims of fabricated vital signs, unblinded staff exposing randomization materials, temperature excursions for the ultra-cold vaccine, unqualified personnel administering doses, skipped adverse event monitoring, and unreported serious safety events, all submitted as fraudulent claims for government payment. During a November 2025 appellate hearing in the Fifth Circuit, DOJ attorney Nicole Smith argued that the government’s interest in ending the litigation overrides other factors, citing Supreme Court precedent in Polansky v. Executive Health Resources and asserting that even if 3% of data were fraudulent as alleged, FDA approval would have proceeded regardless, while Jackson’s counsel Warner Mendenhall countered that dismissal with prejudice lacks good cause under the FCA, violates whistleblower protections enacted in 1986, and ignores emerging evidence including affidavits showing excess deaths in the vaccine arm and a leaked FDA memo from Director Vinay Prasad confirming at least ten child deaths causally linked to the shots, as the agency prepares stricter future safety standards. Initially declined for dismissal under the prior administration, the DOJ’s reversal aligns with Pfizer’s stance, potentially shielding the companies from accountability for endangering trial participants and defrauding taxpayers in the rushed trial that enrolled ineligible subjects like pregnant women and staff relatives without halting operations.

Federal Appeals Court Affirms President’s Authority in Upholding Trump’s NLRB Firings
In a decision reinforcing executive branch oversight, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled on December 5, that President Donald Trump acted within his constitutional powers when he removed Democrat appointees Gwynne Wilcox from the National Labor Relations Board and Cathy Harris from the Merit Systems Protection Board in early 2025, overturning lower court orders that had mandated their reinstatement based on statutory protections requiring cause for removal such as neglect of duty or malfeasance. The 2-1 majority opinion, authored by Judge Karen LeCraft Henderson, determined that Congress cannot impose removal restrictions on members of these agencies, as the NLRB and MSPB exercise substantial executive authority in areas like labor dispute mediation, unfair practice enforcement, and federal employee appeals, distinguishing them from multimember boards like the Federal Trade Commission protected under the 1935 Supreme Court precedent in Humphrey’s Executor v. United States. Wilcox and Harris, confirmed by the Senate in 2023 for five-year terms under the Biden administration, had sued claiming unlawful termination, but the court held that such limits unconstitutionally encroach on the president’s Article II removal power, ensuring alignment with recent Supreme Court rulings that expanded executive control over independent agencies. This outcome clears the path for Trump’s nominations to fill the vacancies, bolstering administrative efficiency in labor and personnel policy implementation without disrupting ongoing board operations.

Work Permits Slashed to 18 Months to Safeguard American Jobs and National Security
The Trump administration has curtailed the validity of work permits for noncitizens from five years to 18 months, a prudent measure announced by U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services to mandate more rigorous and frequent vetting of foreign workers amid escalating security threats, including the recent fatal shooting of two National Guardsmen in Washington, D.C., by an Afghan national in the country illegally. USCIS Director Joe Edlow underscored that employment in the United States constitutes a privilege rather than an entitlement, with the policy initially targeting new permits for asylum seekers, refugees, and those granted deportation relief, aiming to expedite re-evaluation of their status and foster voluntary departures among those who displace American laborers or harbor risks. Official data reveals that approximately 86 percent of asylum claims reviewed in 2019 lacked merit, underscoring the necessity of this reform to prioritize citizens in the workforce while upholding immigration laws that protect the nation’s economic stability and public safety.
SBA Targets Fraud in 8(a) Program with Mandatory Financial Audits for Over 4300 Businesses
The U.S. Small Business Administration issued directives on December 5, requiring all more than 4,300 participants in the 8(a) Business Development Program to submit detailed financial records covering the past three fiscal years, including bank statements, financial statements, general ledgers, payroll registers, and contracting agreements, as part of a rigorous initiative to eliminate fraud, waste, and abuse that has undermined the program’s mission to support socially and economically disadvantaged small business owners through training, guidance, and federal contracting access. This clampdown follows a Department of Justice probe revealing a $550 million fraud and bribery scheme involving a former federal contracting officer and two 8(a) contractors, prompting an ongoing full-scale audit of high-dollar contracts spanning 15 years in coordination with federal agencies, along with recent suspensions of executives and contractors tied to over $253 million in questionable awards. Non-compliant firms face program ineligibility after the January 5, 2026 deadline and potential further investigations, underscoring the SBA’s commitment under Administrator Kelly Loeffler to safeguard taxpayer funds and restore integrity to a program marred by evidence of exploitation, particularly amid past emphases on diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives that sidelined merit-based practices.

Chinese Spy Bragged That Hochul Proved Far More Compliant Than Cuomo in Advancing Beijing’s Agenda
Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn revealed during the ongoing corruption trial of former New York gubernatorial aide Linda Sun that she boasted to Chinese consular officials about Governor Kathy Hochul’s superior pliancy compared to ex-Governor Andrew Cuomo, as evidenced by January 2021 text messages where Sun declared, “She is much more obedient than the governor,” after steering Hochul to produce a Lunar New Year video promoting the Chinese consulate—complete with scripted talking points supplied by Beijing—when officials initially sought Cuomo’s involvement. Sun, who served in high-level roles under both administrations from 2012 to 2023, allegedly leveraged her position to block Taiwanese officials from state access, forge Hochul’s signature on pro-China documents, and secure unauthorized proclamations favoring the Chinese Communist Party, all in exchange for multimillion-dollar kickbacks funneled to her husband’s businesses, funding luxuries including a $4.1 million Long Island mansion, a Hawaii condo, and a Ferrari. Additional trial exhibits highlighted Sun’s casual requests for Nanjing salted ducks from Consul General Huang Ping in July 2021, which he promptly delivered via private chef, underscoring her embedded role in advancing foreign interests within New York’s executive chamber without disclosure, as detailed in unsealed indictments and court records from September 2024 onward.

Chicago Peacekeeper Program’s Taxpayer-Funded Failures Exposed by Wave of Violent Arrests
Chicago’s community violence intervention program, known as the Peacekeepers, has drawn over $60 million in taxpayer dollars in the past three years to deploy former gang members and ex-convicts in yellow vests to deter street violence, yet recent arrests underscore persistent challenges in its execution. In late September 2025, Chester Alexander, a program participant, faced charges for assaulting police officers during an altercation. Days earlier, Kellen McMiller, who had been photographed alongside Governor J.B. Pritzker at a program event praising anti-violence efforts, was indicted for first-degree murder, burglary, and retail theft in a Magnificent Mile smash-and-grab at a Louis Vuitton store on September 11, where the getaway vehicle’s crash killed motorist Mark Arceta; McMiller carried warrants across four states and a decade-long record of domestic battery and gang-related offenses. In November 2025, Michael Nash, another Peacekeeper, was arrested for a brutal Woodlawn robbery, admitting presence at the scene but allegedly participating as a robber while using jail calls to orchestrate witness intimidation; his prior convictions include aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, felon-in-possession charges, and attempted robbery. Despite an April 2025 study citing gun violence reductions, these incidents, reported by local outlets and police records, highlight ongoing scrutiny of the program’s vetting and oversight under Mayor Brandon Johnson and Governor Pritzker.

Supreme Court Examines Presidential Authority Over Entrenched Bureaucrats
The United States Supreme Court is preparing to review a pivotal case on President Trump’s constitutional authority to dismiss high-level federal bureaucrats, challenging a 1935 precedent from Humphrey’s Executor v. United States that has permitted Congress to restrict presidential removal powers for independent agency officials, such as those on the Federal Trade Commission. In March 2025, Trump removed FTC Commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, citing misalignment with his administration’s priorities, only for a federal district judge and the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals to block the action and order her reinstatement based on statutory protections limiting firings to instances of inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance. The Supreme Court’s conservative majority has already granted a stay allowing the removal to proceed during litigation, dissenting liberals noted, signaling potential to overturn the longstanding ruling and reinforce Article II’s vesting of executive power solely in the president. This dispute extends to similar dismissals of officials from the National Labor Relations Board, Merit Systems Protection Board, and Consumer Product Safety Commission, underscoring ongoing tensions in Separation of Powers as federal courts have repeatedly intervened to reinstate holdovers from prior administrations.

HHS Investigation Upholds Parental Rights Against Unauthorized School Vaccination
The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., announced on December 3, an investigation by its Office for Civil Rights into a Midwestern school that administered a federally provided vaccine to a child without parental consent, disregarding a legally filed religious exemption under state law, in violation of the Vaccines for Children Program’s mandate to honor such exemptions. This action underscores the federal government’s commitment to enforcing parental authority in pediatric health decisions, as HHS issued a Dear Colleague letter reminding providers of their obligations under the HIPAA privacy rule to grant parents access to minors’ medical records absent limited exceptions, and directed the Health Resources & Services Administration to impose grant conditions requiring compliance with state and federal parental consent laws for services at supported health centers. Deputy Secretary Jim O’Neill emphasized that the Vaccines for Children Program must never undermine parents’ rights, while Kennedy affirmed that HHS will deploy all available tools, including fines, to address violations and restore accountability in cases where institutions sideline families or obscure children’s care details.

TVA Secures $400 Million Federal Grant for Pioneering Small Modular Nuclear Reactor in Tennessee
The U.S. Department of Energy has awarded the Tennessee Valley Authority $400 million to pioneer the nation’s first small modular reactor at the Clinch River site in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, advancing reliable nuclear energy production amid surging demands from artificial intelligence and data centers. This selection, announced on December 2, positions TVA alongside Holtec International as recipients of up to $800 million total in cost-shared funding to deploy Generation III+ light-water reactors, with TVA targeting the GE Vernova Hitachi BWRX-300 design for an estimated 600-megawatt output by the early 2030s. The project builds on TVA’s recent partnerships, including a power purchase agreement with Kairos Power and Google for the 50-megawatt Hermes 2 advanced reactor, set to connect to the grid by 2030 and supply clean power to regional data centers in Tennessee and Alabama. Supported by state investments of up to $50 million from Tennessee’s 2025 budget and collaborations with firms like BWX Technologies and Bechtel, this initiative strengthens domestic supply chains, enhances energy security, and demonstrates nuclear technology’s role in delivering affordable, carbon-free electricity at scale.

Gunmen Slaughter 11, Including Children in South African Hostel Massacre
In the pre-dawn hours of December 6, three armed assailants stormed an illegal shebeen within the Saulsville Hostel in Atteridgeville, west of Pretoria, South Africa, unleashing a barrage of gunfire on a group gathered for drinking and indiscriminately killing 11 individuals, among them a three-year-old boy, a 12-year-old boy, and a 16-year-old girl, while wounding 14 others who were rushed to hospitals; the attackers fled before police arrived around 6 a.m., prompting the South African Police Service to deploy detectives, ballistics experts, and a nationwide manhunt for the suspects, with no motive yet established amid the nation’s persistent challenges posed by unregulated liquor outlets and an average of 63 daily murders between April and September as reported by official data.

French Marines Fire Upon Drones Over Nuclear Submarine Stronghold
French marines stationed at the highly fortified Île Longue naval base in Brittany swiftly enforced restricted airspace protocols on the evening of December 4 by opening fire on five unidentified drones detected via radar around 7:30 p.m. local time, according to reports from military officials and the regional gendarmerie. This critical facility, secured by over 120 maritime forces alongside naval infantry, serves as the operational hub for France’s four Triomphant-class nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines—Le Triomphant, Le Téméraire, Le Vigilant, and Le Terrible—which underpin the nation’s continuous at-sea nuclear deterrent with at least one vessel perpetually on patrol. Defense Minister Catherine Vautrin affirmed the effective interception of the overflight, praising the personnel’s response while emphasizing that such violations are strictly prohibited, though she withheld specifics on countermeasures employed. Rennes public prosecutor Frédéric Teillet noted that a jammer was deployed rather than live ammunition in some accounts, with no drones confirmed downed or recovered, no operators apprehended, and no established ties to foreign entities amid a pattern of similar European airspace breaches near sensitive sites. A comprehensive search and investigation ensued to address the breach at this cornerstone of national security.

Putin Reaffirms Reliable Russian Oil Flow to India Amid Trump’s Tariff Push for Restraint
During the 23rd Russia-India Summit in New Delhi on December 5, Russian President Vladimir Putin assured Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi of uninterrupted Russian fuel shipments to support India’s expanding energy needs, emphasizing Russia’s role as a steadfast supplier of oil, gas, and coal essential for economic growth, while both leaders inked agreements to elevate bilateral trade to $100 billion annually by 2030 and deepen defense collaboration, including joint weapons production and ongoing S-400 missile system deliveries. Modi hailed the enduring partnership as unshakeable like the North Star, underscoring mutual benefits in trade and security despite global tensions. This commitment unfolds against U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent imposition of 50 percent tariffs on Indian exports in August 2025, aimed at curbing New Delhi’s status as the world’s second-largest buyer of discounted Russian crude after China, which Washington views as bolstering Moscow’s military efforts in Ukraine, even as India maintains compliance with international sanctions and prioritizes energy security through diversified sourcing.

EU DSA Fine on X Marks Escalating Assault on Free Speech
The European Union has imposed a €120 million ($140 million) penalty on Elon Musk’s X platform under the Digital Services Act, marking the first enforcement action of this sweeping regulation designed to enforce transparency and curb what Brussels deems deceptive practices and insufficient data access for researchers. Violations cited include the paid blue checkmark verification system, inadequate advertising repository transparency, and restricted access to public data, with X granted 60 days to propose remedies and 90 days for implementation to avoid further penalties up to 6% of global annual revenue. This move follows a two-year probe and aligns with ongoing DSA scrutiny of major U.S. tech firms like Meta and Google for content moderation lapses, amid prior EU demands for X to suppress discourse on issues such as the 2024 U.S. presidential election and the Gaza conflict. Musk dismissed the decision as “bullshit,” while U.S. Vice President JD Vance decried it as an unwarranted attack on American enterprise and free expression, underscoring transatlantic frictions over regulatory overreach that threatens unfiltered online debate essential to democratic sovereignty.
