⚖️Somali Migrant Fraud Scandal Spreads to Multiple States
The ongoing Somali migrant fraud scandal, initially centered on Minnesota’s Feeding Our Future child nutrition program where over $250 million in federal funds was allegedly stolen through sham meal sites and empty daycare centers claiming to serve thousands of children, has expanded to include widespread abuse of Medicaid home health care services in Ohio and other states. Independent journalist Nick Shirley documented more than $110 million in fraud in a single day in Minnesota through video evidence of vacant facilities falsely billing for services. Attorney Mehek Cooke has exposed a parallel scheme in Ohio where Somali providers fraudulently bill Medicaid up to $250,000 annually per individual by rubber-stamping paperwork for nonexistent care of elderly relatives or in-laws, often for 10 to 24 hours daily without actual services provided, with assurances of kickbacks to participants. These fraudulent operations exploit taxpayer-funded programs intended for the vulnerable, prompting investigations by state attorneys general and federal authorities.

👮♂️Federal Agents Execute Door-to-Door Searches in Minneapolis Fraud Probe
Homeland Security Investigations agents conducted door-to-door checks at suspected fraud sites in Minneapolis on December 29, 2025, as part of an ongoing federal effort to address large-scale exploitation of taxpayer-funded programs. The Department of Homeland Security released videos showing agents questioning business owners about neighboring operations suspected of fraudulent activity involving daycare and learning centers that reportedly received millions in government funds despite appearing empty and lacking children. FBI Director Kash Patel announced that the bureau had already surged personnel and resources to Minnesota prior to recent public attention, emphasizing the prior Feeding Our Future scheme where a nonprofit allegedly stole $250 million intended for child meals during the COVID pandemic without distributing food, resulting in numerous indictments primarily involving individuals of Somali descent. Authorities described the current revelations as the tip of a larger iceberg of fraud affecting federal child nutrition and other social programs, with investigations continuing to follow the money and protect vulnerable children while ensuring accountability for misused taxpayer dollars.

🏛️Soros-Funded Group Trains DC Residents as Skeptical Jurors Against Trump Policies
A Washington, DC activist organization known as Free DC, fiscally sponsored by Community Change and Community Change Action with substantial funding ties to George Soros’s Open Society Foundations totaling nearly $25 million since 2016, has been conducting Juror Information Project sessions in partnership with Harriet’s Wildest Dreams to educate residents on serving as skeptical jurors. These teach-ins emphasize jury duty as a mechanism to protect marginalized identities disproportionately affected by the criminal legal system and to exert influence over case outcomes. Co-founder Alex Dodds has stated that jurors hold significant power to judge the righteousness of the Trump administration’s agenda. Events held in August and December encouraged skepticism amid increased federal law enforcement in the District under the incoming Trump administration, with another session scheduled for January 12, 2026, featuring discussions with legal experts and activists on shaping equitable legal processes.

⚖️Mistrial in Federal Corruption Trial of Former New York Governmental Aide Linda Sun
A federal judge declared a mistrial on December 29, 2025, in the case against Linda Sun, a former top aide to both former Governor Andrew Cuomo and current Governor Kathy Hochul, and her husband Chris Hu after the jury reported being hopelessly deadlocked on all 19 counts following extensive deliberations and re-deliberations. Sun faced charges of acting as an unregistered agent for the Chinese government, accepting lavish gifts and kickbacks in exchange for influencing state policy, including blocking Taiwanese representatives from official access and facilitating benefits for Chinese interests. Prosecutors highlighted evidence of Sun’s actions advancing foreign agendas while enriching herself and her family. The jury foreman confirmed firmly held positions preventing unanimous verdicts, with reports indicating holdouts refusing conviction on most charges. Federal authorities expressed intent to retry the defendants as soon as possible, with a status conference scheduled for January 26, 2026.

⚖️Attorney General Pam Bondi Directs Investigation into Obama-Biden Government Weaponization
Attorney General Pam Bondi has directed the Department of Justice to investigate a decade-long pattern of government weaponization and lawfare under the Obama and Biden administrations, framing these actions as an ongoing criminal conspiracy that could bypass statutes of limitations for potential charges related to election interference and civil rights violations. The probe targets evidence that the FBI and DOJ protected figures such as Hunter Biden and Hillary Clinton from scrutiny while pursuing excessive legal actions against conservatives and President Donald Trump, including the 2022 Mar-a-Lago raid conducted in Florida. Bondi described the alleged abuses as a ten-year stain on the nation committed by high-ranking officials against the American people, noting that the Trump administration’s release of unprecedented documents to Congress has established the foundation for a conspiracy case. FBI Director Kash Patel has supported this approach, comparing it to organized crime prosecutions where ongoing conspiracies extend liability.

💣DC Pipe Bomb Suspect Motive Emerges
Federal authorities arrested 30-year-old Brian Cole Jr. of Woodbridge, Virginia, on December 4, 2025, charging him with placing two viable homemade pipe bombs outside the Republican National Committee and Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington, D.C., on the evening of January 5, 2021, the day before the Capitol events. The devices, constructed from galvanized steel pipes, end caps, kitchen timers, and nine-volt batteries, failed to detonate and were discovered the following day. Cole initially denied involvement but later confessed during questioning, stating that “something just snapped” after watching “everything getting worse,” leading him to target both major political parties because “they were in charge.” He expressed frustration over perceived tampering with the 2020 federal election results, believing someone needed to “speak up” for those who felt their votes were rendered null and void, while emphasizing he disliked both parties equally and did not intend to kill anyone by placing the bombs at night. Evidence includes surveillance footage, cellphone records placing him at the scenes, purchases of bomb components from retailers like Home Depot, Lowe’s, and Walmart dating back to 2019, and materials recovered from his home and vehicle. Prosecutors argue for his continued detention pending trial, citing the seriousness of the offenses.

🦹♂️New York City Government Intrusion into Private Property Rights
The New York City Council has passed the Community Opportunity to Purchase Act, requiring private landlords intending to sell certain residential properties to first notify qualified nonprofits and government entities, granting them an exclusive period to express interest and submit offers while prohibiting sales to other buyers during that time. Landlords must wait 25 days for statements of interest from these entities and, if received, allow 80 days for a first offer, which can be rejected, but subsequent private offers trigger a 15-day right for the nonprofit to match the terms, compelling the sale if matched. Sponsored by Council Member Sandy Nurse, the law targets distressed buildings or those with expiring affordability restrictions to preserve permanently affordable housing amid rising homelessness, though critics warn it imposes significant delays, regulatory burdens, and risks devaluing properties for small owners.

🧈Bill Gates-Backed Lab-Generated Butter Alternative to Hit
Market
A company named Savor, operating a pilot facility in Batavia, Illinois, has developed a butter product made without cows, plants, or oils through a thermochemical process that combines carbon dioxide and hydrogen to create fat molecules chemically identical to those in traditional dairy butter. This lab-generated spread, backed by Bill Gates, who has praised its taste as indistinguishable from real butter and highlighted its potential to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions from production while using no farmland and minimal water, is currently being tested in limited applications such as chocolates and partnerships with restaurants. The process replicates butter’s composition of saturated fats, vitamins, and other components but avoids traditional agriculture entirely. Savor plans to introduce consumer products on grocery shelves around 2027.

🌐Georgetown University Ends Ties with Controversial UN Rapporteur
Georgetown University has terminated its affiliation with Francesca Albanese, the United Nations Human Rights Council’s special rapporteur on the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, by removing her profile as an affiliated scholar from the Institute for the Study of International Migration website following documented antisemitic remarks and justifications for the October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attacks that killed over 1,400 Israeli civilians. Albanese had argued that Israel lacks self-defense rights against Hamas actions from occupied territory and denied antisemitic motivations behind the attacks involving massacres, kidnappings, and sexual violence. The decision came amid a sustained campaign by UN Watch, which highlighted her statements in a detailed report and celebrated the removal as a step against harboring supporters of terrorism in academic institutions. No official statement from Georgetown explained the move, but it aligns with broader scrutiny of associations with figures condemned for promoting hatred and excusing violence.

🚨Canadian Judge Applies Racial and Cultural Factors to Shorten Sex Offender Sentence
A Nova Scotia Supreme Court judge sentenced former university football player Omogbolahan Jegede, a black immigrant from Nigeria, to two years in prison followed by three years of probation for committing two serious sexual assaults involving violence against female students at St. Francis Xavier University in 2022 and 2023. The assaults included choking one victim nearly to unconsciousness and forcing another to perform oral sex through physical domination. The Crown prosecutor sought a sentence of up to 36 months, while the defense requested community service. Justice Frank Hoskins explicitly stated that the sentence would have been significantly higher without the mitigating factors detailed in an Impact of Race and Culture Assessment report, which highlighted Jegede’s experiences of racial isolation in a predominantly white town, lack of culturally appropriate support, and absence of black mentors during a period of intense pressure. The judge emphasized the need for denunciation and incarceration to condemn the conduct but incorporated the racial and cultural insights from the government-funded assessment as key considerations in determining the reduced 24-month term.

Tucker Carlson:
Has Qatari Money Purchased America’s Former Truth-Teller?
“…ICarlson’s brand has always relied on moral conflict narratives—he pits the spiritual sickness of liberal elites against some vision of prelapsarian order. But lately he has recast the Islamofascist model—theocratic submission through violence—as the moral antidote to Western degeneracy. When Tucker tells you that OnlyFans is more dangerous than Islamofascism, he’s not making a religious argument. He’s offering a false dichotomy…”

❌Chinese Military Purges Continue with Removal of Senior Officers
China’s Communist Party-controlled legislature has expelled three senior military officers, marking the latest development in an escalating series of removals within the upper ranks of the People’s Liberation Army and armed police forces. On December 27, the National People’s Congress announced the stripping of membership for Gen. Zhang Hongbin, the political commissar of the People’s Armed Police, without providing any stated reason for the action. This move follows similar expulsions of other high-ranking figures and underscores persistent instability in the military leadership structure. The ongoing removals have prompted concerns regarding the short-term operational readiness and effectiveness of China’s armed forces amid broader efforts to address internal issues.

👥Iran Regime Faces Largest Protests Since 2022 Amid Currency Collapse
Anti-regime protests erupted across Tehran and other Iranian cities, including Zahedan, on December 29, 2025, as merchants and shopkeepers shut down bazaars and markets in response to the Iranian rial plunging to a record low of approximately 1,390,000 to the US dollar amid soaring inflation and economic hardship exacerbated by renewed maximum pressure sanctions. Demonstrators chanted “Death to the Dictator” against Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and expressed rare pro-monarchist sentiments calling for the return of the Shah’s family, echoing the merchant-led unrest that contributed to the 1979 revolution. Security forces deployed tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse crowds in locations such as Saadi Street and the Shush neighborhood near Tehran’s Grand Bazaar, while Iran’s central bank governor Mohammad Reza Farzin resigned amid the crisis. These developments mark the most significant public challenge to the Islamic Republic’s authority since the 2022-2023 uprising.

⚔️China Launches Extensive Military Drills Around Taiwan
China’s People’s Liberation Army initiated large-scale military exercises codenamed Justice Mission 2025 on December 29, 2025, deploying army, navy, air force, and rocket force units to five zones encircling Taiwan, including the northern Taiwan Strait, with live-fire drills and simulations of port blockades, strikes on maritime and land targets, and deterrence against external intervention. The PLA Eastern Theater Command described these actions as a stern warning against Taiwan independence separatist forces and a necessary measure to protect national sovereignty and unity, explicitly referencing interference from outside powers for the first time in such operations. The exercises followed closely after a record $11.1 billion U.S. arms sale to Taiwan, which Beijing condemned as turning the island into a powder keg and accelerating confrontation risks. Taiwan mobilized its forces in response, conducting readiness drills, deploying coast guard vessels, and highlighting U.S.-supplied weapons like HIMARS systems capable of striking mainland targets, while its leadership reaffirmed commitment to defending democracy and maintaining the longstanding peaceful status quo across the strait amid escalating regional tensions.

🗳️Myanmar Military Junta Conducts First Election Amid Ongoing Civil War
Myanmar’s military regime initiated the first phase of a general election on December 28, 2025, marking the initial nationwide vote since the armed forces seized control in the 2021 coup that removed the elected civilian government led by Aung San Suu Kyi. The junta portrays the multi-phase poll—spanning into January—as a step toward restoring multiparty democracy and political stability in a nation ravaged by conflict that has displaced millions and devastated the economy. Voting proceeded in controlled areas covering roughly a third of the country’s townships, while large swaths remain inaccessible due to intense fighting between military forces and resistance groups. Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy party has been dissolved, its leader remains imprisoned serving a lengthy sentence, and opposition parties face severe restrictions, with the military reserving a quarter of parliamentary seats and backing its proxy Union Solidarity and Development Party expected to dominate. Reports indicate low voter turnout in some areas, heightened security measures at polling stations, and continued military operations even on election day, as the regime seeks to consolidate authority and potentially gain limited international re-engagement despite widespread dismissal of the process’s credibility.

💥Trump Confirms First Land Strike Against Venezuelan Drug Facility
President Trump announced that United States forces successfully struck and eliminated a major drug loading facility in Venezuela, marking the first known land-based operation in the ongoing military campaign against narco-terrorists linked to the Maduro regime. The president described a major explosion at the dock area used for loading boats with illicit drugs, stating that this implementation site is now destroyed following prior strikes on at least 29 trafficking vessels that have killed over 105 narco-terrorists since September. Trump emphasized that drug flows have decreased by over 97 percent due to these decisive actions, noting that each destroyed boat saves approximately 25,000 American lives while protecting national security from foreign drug threats. Officials confirmed the target was a key smuggling hub inside Venezuela, though no further details on the operation were provided by military or intelligence agencies.
