The Trump administration is putting illegal aliens on notice: taxpayer-funded housing is for AMERICANS, not for those who broke the law to come here.

On Friday, Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Scott Turner announced that all Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) nationwide have 30 days to conduct audits verifying the legal status of every single tenant in Section 8 housing and other HUD-funded programs.

The first housing authority to face scrutiny is Washington, D.C., where Turner confirmed that the DC Housing Authority has already been put on notice, according to Fox News.

More than 3,000 PHAs across the nation are receiving the same marching orders. If they fail to comply, Turner warned, they risk losing federal funding.

Turner revealed that only 1 out of 4 eligible American families currently receives HUD assistance due to past administrations turning a blind eye to illegal alien abuse.

In a blistering letter to every Public Housing Authority (PHA) in America, Turner laid down the law: within 30 days, all housing agencies must provide a full and complete accounting of every tenant living in HUD-funded housing.

That means names, mailing addresses, number of bedrooms, the cost of each unit, and most importantly, proof of American citizenship or legal immigration status.

The letter reads:

“Today, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is taking another direct and forceful action to steward taxpayer dollars wisely and end the subsidization of open border policies in HUD-funded programs and policies.

Within 30 days of receipt of this notice, HUD is requesting that every Public Housing Authority (PHA) provide a full and comprehensive accounting of all tenants who are receiving a Section 8 voucher and/or residing in HUD-funded housing.

HUD is requiring the name, mailing address, number of bedrooms, the cost of the unit, and proof of American citizenship or eligible immigration status as defined by the law. This information is required by law and this administration is upholding the law to its fullest extent.

No longer will illegal aliens be able to leave citizenship boxes blank or take advantage of HUD-funded housing, riding the coattails of hardworking American citizens.

Currently, HUD only serves one out of four eligible families due, in part, to the lack of enforcement of prohibition against federally funded assistance to illegal aliens.

HUD will leverage all available enforcement actions against entities who do not comply with the request for citizenship information, including, but not limited to, examination of HUD funding and/or evaluation of PHA program eligibility.”

Europeans are turning to an unlikely figure for salvation — US President Donald Trump.

Across social media, users have urged Trump to ‘make England a US state’ as frustration mounts over what critics call the chaos brought by far-left governments.

For many, the plea is not satire but desperation. Once-secure nations are now grappling with migrant crime, collapsing public order and political leaders accused of turning a blind eye.

Rape offences ‘soar by 438%’

Official figures show reported rape offences in Britain have surged by 438% since 2013, according to Home Office data.

Critics argue the rise coincides with mass migration policies, particularly those linked to Angela Merkel’s ‘Refugees Welcome’ stance. ‘What began as compassion has become suicidal empathy,’ one campaigner told MailOnline.

Germans cry ‘Send them home’

Germany is also feeling the strain. Demonstrators have taken to the streets chanting ‘Send them home’, furious at governments they claim care more about migrants than locals.

Meanwhile, British taxpayers working 40-hour weeks complain they are losing almost half their wages to fund hotel housing for new arrivals.

‘We are paying for people who refuse to integrate and who mock our traditions,’ said one resident in Birmingham, according to The Telegraph.

Pubs closed and families afraid

The impact is being felt in everyday life. Locals say beloved pubs, parks and community hubs are shutting down after repeated unrest. Families claim daughters are at risk of sexual assault, while parents who try to intervene can find themselves facing charges.

‘You are punished for protecting your own,’ one father from Leeds said, as reported by The Guardian.

Governments insist hate-speech laws are necessary to protect minorities, but critics brand them a gagging order on ordinary people.

Identity crisis across Europe

The backlash has sparked an unusual alliance. Welsh, Scots, Irish, French and even American commentators have united online to express solidarity with Britain.

Even Elon Musk has joined in the criticism, reposting on his X account a message from user @alicesmith that read: ‘You see them as mass illegal immigrants who strain and drain the system. The Labour Party sees them as mass potential voters to game and tame the system.’

‘Do the English get to have an England? Do the Scots get to keep their lochs? Does the emerald isle belong to the Irish?’ read another widely shared post. Commentators say the questions are no longer rhetorical but existential.

‘What happened to Europe?’

Europe now faces a defining question: do its nations still belong to their people, or to a political project that ignores them?

That Britons are calling on Donald Trump, an American outsider, to ‘rescue them’ says it all, observers note. Whether or not he ever steps foot in Downing Street, the very fact his name is being invoked is, according to one analyst, ‘the loudest answer yet to the question: what happened to Europe?’

One international student after another told the University of Central Missouri this summer that they couldn’t get a visa, and many struggled to even land an interview for one.

Even though demand was just as high as ever, half as many new international graduate students showed up for fall classes compared to last year.

The decline represents a hit to the bottom line for Central Missouri, a small public university that operates close to its margins with an endowment of only $65 million. International students typically account for nearly a quarter of its tuition revenue.

“We aren’t able to subsidize domestic students as much when we have fewer international students who are bringing revenue to us,” said Roger Best, the university’s president.

Signs of a decline in international students have unsettled colleges around the U.S. Colleges with large numbers of foreign students and small endowments have little financial cushion to protect them from steep losses in tuition money.

International students represent at least 20% of enrollment at more than 100 colleges with endowments of less than $250,000 per student, according to an Associated Press analysis. Many are small Christian colleges, but the group also includes large universities such as Northeastern and Carnegie Mellon.

The extent of the change in enrollment will not be clear until the fall, Some groups have forecast a decline of as much as 40%, with a huge impact on college budgets and the wider U.S. economy.

International students face new scrutiny on several fronts

As part of a broader effort to reshape higher education, President Donald Trump has pressed colleges to limit their numbers of international students and heightened scrutiny of student visas. His administration has moved to deport foreign students involved in pro-Palestinian activism, and new student visa appointments were put on hold for weeks.

Colleges are taking steps to blunt the impact

In recent years, international students have made up about 30% of enrollment at Central Missouri, which has a total of around 12,800 students. In anticipation of the hit to international enrollment, Central Missouri cut a cost-of-living raise for employees. It has pushed off infrastructure improvements planned for its campus and has been looking for other ways to cut costs.

Small schools — typically classified as those with no more than 5,000 students — tend to have less financial flexibility and will be especially vulnerable, said Dick Startz, an economics professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

Lee University, a Christian institution with 3,500 students in Tennessee, is expecting 50 to 60 international students enrolled this fall, down from 82 the previous school year, representing a significant drop in revenue for the school, said Roy Y. Chan, the university’s director of graduate studies.

The school already has increased tuition by 20% over the past five years to account for a decrease in overall enrollment, he said.

“Since we’re a smaller liberal arts campus, tuition cost is our main, primary revenue,” Chan said, as opposed to government funding or donations.

The strains on international enrollment only add to distress for schools already on the financial brink.

Colleges around the country have been closing as they cope with declines in domestic enrollment, a consequence of changing demographics and the effects of the pandemic. Nationwide, private colleges have been closing at a rate of about two per month, according to the State Higher Education Executive Officers Association.

The number of high school graduates in the U.S. is expected to decline through 2041, when there will be 13% fewer compared to 2024, according to projections from the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education.

“That means that if you lost participation from international students, it’s even worse,” Startz said.

Beijing’s influence stretches deeper than Washington dares admit.

China is America’s greatest adversary. Not merely an economic rival or a diplomatic competitor, but an existential threat to everything the United States claims to stand for. Beijing dreams of an America in retreat, a world where democratic values collapse and the Middle Kingdom reclaims the throne of global dominance. Their strategy isn’t nuclear war. It’s far more insidious: buying America one acre at a time.

The land acquisition pattern is unmistakable and deliberate. In New Hampshire alone, Chinese companies have made several major purchases in the last decade. Nongfu Spring, owned by China’s richest man, bought a warehouse and land near Nashua’s water system for $67 million — four times its assessed value. Chinese investor Sui Liu purchased the former Daniel Webster College campus that sits just 6 miles from BAE Systems Electronic Systems, a defense contractor supporting Air Force and Space Force programs. These aren’t random real estate investments — they’re strategic positioning near military installations and defense contractors.

The mathematics are revealing. When foreign companies systematically overpay by 300-400 percent for properties adjacent to sensitive military sites, that’s not market dynamics. That’s reconnaissance disguised as commerce. The New Boston Space Force Station sits within striking distance of multiple Chinese-owned properties. The pattern repeats across critical infrastructure: airports, water systems, defense facilities.

Americans celebrate this as economic development. State officials actively courted Nongfu Spring as part of an economic development initiative, competing against Maryland to land the deal. The promise of 200 jobs apparently justified selling strategically vital land to a company controlled by an individual who couldn’t have become China’s wealthiest citizen without complete alignment with Communist Party priorities. And land purchases are only the surface layer. Beneath them lies something even more dangerous: political infiltration.

While Chinese companies buy land near military bases, Chinese operatives are simultaneously manipulating American elections with breathtaking audacity. More than 50 organizations with ties to Beijing have mobilized members to fundraise and endorse political candidates over the past five years. Many nonprofit charities, legally prohibited from electioneering, openly violate federal tax law with impunity, as American authorities look the other way. (RELATED: House GOP Releases Report Highlighting Grave CCP Spy Threat)

Chinese consulate officials are literally leading American citizens in loyalty ceremonies. As the New York Times recently reported, videos show festive gatherings where diplomats guide hometown association leaders through pledges to “love the motherland,” support reunification with Taiwan, and contribute to the “great rejuvenation” of China. These are not harmless cultural celebrations. They are loyalty tests carried out on American soil, under the cover of tax-exempt organizations. (RELATED: How China Is Quietly Outsmarting the West)

The electoral manipulation works with surgical precision. When State Senator Iwen Chu attended a reception for Taiwan’s president, Chinese diplomats summoned hometown association members to the consulate for interrogation about her political positions. Association leaders who had previously supported her flipped their endorsements. She lost her reelection, costing Democrats their supermajority.

When Yan Xiong, a Tiananmen Square veteran, dared run for Congress, a Chinese intelligence agent hired a private investigator to dig up compromising material, discussing hiring prostitutes and suggesting “Violence would be fine, too.” Simultaneously, the Chinese Consulate directed hometown association leaders to oppose his campaign. He was systematically sabotaged by the very government he had once challenged.

The pattern repeats with mechanical efficiency. Susan Zhuang won her New York City Council seat after Chinese-American organizations circulated damaging photos of her opponent at a Hong Kong democracy rally, branding her as supporting “violent Hong Kong independence.” Once elected, Zhuang distributed over $300,000 in city funds to the same Chinese nonprofits that had supported her campaign.

The mythology of the melting pot, free markets, and cultural diversity has made Americans incapable of recognizing obvious threats.

This represents systematic foreign interference in American democracy. Tax-exempt organizations openly violating federal law. Foreign intelligence agents targeting American candidates. Consulate officials coordinating domestic political campaigns. Yet American officials treat this as normal community organizing rather than what it obviously is: a hostile takeover.

So why, one might ask, is this madness allowed to persist?

American psychology has created a fatal blind spot. The mythology of the melting pot, free markets, and cultural diversity has made Americans incapable of recognizing obvious threats when they arrive wrapped in the rhetoric of investment and community engagement. When hostile foreign powers exploit American openness, millions of Americans call it tolerance. (RELATED: China’s War Is Here — Most Americans Are Blind to It)

Republican Congress hopeful Lily Tang Williams, who escaped communist China in the 1980s, understands the strategy. Beijing, she told Newsweek, “doesn’t want to get into hard war, they don’t want to fire on shot,” which explains why “they are using these so-called acceptable international expansion strategies to get the world on their side.” China plays chess while Americans play checkers, thinking in decades while Americans think in quarterly earnings reports.

The solution requires immediate action on multiple fronts.

First, emergency legislation must ban all land purchases by Chinese entities within 25 miles of military installations, defense contractors, or critical infrastructure. No exceptions, no grandfather clauses. National security trumps economic development.

Second, the IRS must immediately revoke tax-exempt status for every organization that has violated federal election law. If they want to engage in politics, they can pay taxes like everyone else.Political merchandise

Third, the Justice Department must aggressively prosecute foreign agents operating on American soil. Election interference is a federal crime, regardless of the perpetrator’s diplomatic cover.

Fourth, state and local officials who accepted money from Chinese-linked organizations must return every dollar. Public corruption is public corruption, even when disguised as campaign contributions.

Finally, Americans must abandon their dangerous naivety about adversarial intentions. When China’s richest man buys land next to military bases, that’s intelligence gathering. When foreign consulates orchestrate domestic political campaigns, that’s election interference.

Time is running out. Every day of delay allows China to dig in deeper. They succeed because they play the long game, setting traps that may not snap shut for decades. The question is whether America will act before the jaws close, or keep pretending there’s no danger until the trap springs and there’s no way out.

JOHN MAC GHLIONN, The American Spectator

Growing up in the 1960s, I spent many pleasant hours reading comic books — mostly Superman and related characters.  There was an odd group of characters called the “Bizarros” in that series.  These were monstrous duplicates of individuals from the universe inhabited by Superman and his cohorts.  Their defining characteristic, besides their hideous appearance, was that they did everything backwards: Good was bad, ugly was beautiful, and so on.

Such is the case with today’s Democrat (they’re not democratic) party.  Much has been written on their being on the wrong side of every 80/20 issue.  I have previously noted here that the party appears to be aligned with the demonic principles of Baal and Jezebel.  How else does one explain their celebration of abortion, the chemical and surgical castration of children, placing graphic pornography in K–12 schools, and welcoming thousands of vicious South American gang members into our country?

As conservatives, we champion the principles of limited government, individual liberty, free markets, and personal responsibility.  These ideals are rooted in the Constitution and the wisdom of our Founding Fathers and have enabled Americans to build the greatest nation on Earth.  Yet Democrat policies, especially recently, have veered away from these foundations.  They embrace big government interventions that smother economic growth, erode freedoms, and disproportionately and ironically harm the very people they claim to help — particularly minorities, small business owners, and the working poor.  These progressive fantasies are not just bad politics; they’re disastrous for Americans.  Everywhere they’re enacted, they inflate costs, expand bureaucracy, and reward dependency over self-reliance.  Those who see through leftist rhetoric are increasingly voting with their feet by fleeing Democrat-run cities and states and changing their alliance to the Republican Party.

The Biden administration provided some of the most egregious examples.  Its economic blunders inflicted real pain on minority communities and small businesses.  Inflation, dubbed “Bidenflation” by its innumerable critics, surged under Democrat control, costing the average family an extra $5,200 annually.  Meanwhile, real wages plummeted by over 2.5 percent in just 13 months.

A Wall Street Journal poll revealed that 35 percent of African-American, Hispanic, and Asian-American respondents faced “major financial strain,” with more than half of black households struggling with energy insecurity.  Republicans like Rep. Kevin Brady (R-Texas) pointed out that these policies deepen income inequality, making the poor poorer and making a mockery of the Democrats’ narrative of “equity.”  Biden’s health care reversals undermined Trump-era reforms, such as organ procurement improvements that saved lives among minorities waiting for transplants.

And let’s not forget the Biden tax hikes, which reversed wage gains for minorities.  As Alfredo Ortiz of the Job Creators Network testified, minority entrepreneurs were drowning in worker shortages and supply chain woes, all thanks to policies that prioritized government spending over job creation.

This pattern of harm extends to broader Democrat fantasies that sound noble but deliver misery.  Obama’s tax policy targeted those earning over $250,000 while theoretically sparing the middle class.  In reality, over 50 percent of those “wealthy” individuals were small business owners employing millions of middle-class workers.  Raising their taxes amid record unemployment, as Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke warned, was economic suicide, stifling investment and growth when families needed it most.  Even left-leaning senators like Kent Conrad (D-N.D.) and Evan Bayh (D-Ind.) agreed that it was the “last thing” to do in a recession.  Echoing this fiscal recklessness was the explosion of federal spending: a $1.5-trillion bailout, a trillion-dollar stimulus, and Obamacare’s trillion-dollar price tag skyrocketed the deficit without reining in the national debt.  Democrats’ (and Republicans’!) failure to pass budgets screams of irresponsibility, leaving future generations — especially low-income ones — to foot the bill through higher taxes and inflation.

The Democrats’ environmental mandates further illustrate how big government hurts the poor.  The Heritage Foundation exposed how climate regulations like the Clean Power Plan and vehicle emissions standards functioned as regressive taxes on energy, hiking household electricity costs.  Low-income families, who typically devote roughly 20 percent of their budgets to energy compared to less than 10 percent for the wealthy, are forced to choose between lights and food.  Efficiency rules jacked up purchase prices for appliances and light bulbs, burdening those who can’t afford the “long-term savings” promised by bureaucrats.  Fuel efficiency mandates added thousands to car prices and pennies per gallon at the pump.  The poor and middle-class were hit the hardest, as always, while environmental gains were negligible.  Ozone regulations divert billions from poverty programs to compliance, while the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) diverts crops to ethanol, spiking corn prices and food costs for the poor, who spend a third of their income on groceries.  The federal sugar program doubles domestic prices through import restrictions, costing consumers $2.4–$4 billion per year.  Even relics like the Tennessee Valley Authority subsidize inefficiency, leading to rate hikes that disproportionately affect the poor and middle class.

Conservatives advocate market-driven solutions: repealing mandates; auctioning off assets like the TVA; and letting competition lower costs, empowering the poor through choice rather than coercion.

Other Democrat ideas border on the absurd, combining horrific policy with cynicism.  Packing the Supreme Court is a blatant partisan power-grab.  Although unlikely to pass, it would undermine judicial independence and alienate moderates.  Upon regaining the majority, Republicans would likely add conservative justices, beginning an endless, repetitive cycle and an ever-burgeoning Supreme Court.

Democrats’ plan to eliminate the filibuster would let the majority ram through radical agendas without compromise, another recipe for revenge when Republicans regain power.  Granting statehood to D.C. and Puerto Rico?  Just one more transparent scheme for extra Senate seats.  This is straight-up vote-rigging disguised as representation.  Reparations for slavery, though emotionally charged, raise more questions and problems than they solve.  The slaves were primarily owned by Democrats, so maybe only Democrats should pay.  And what about black Americans who came to America after passage of the 13th Amendment?  Do they receive reparations as well?  Some Irish immigrants were indentured servants.  Perhaps they should also receive a cut.

Other Democrat policies are equally ridiculous.  Cap-and-trade schemes hike energy taxes, kill jobs, and block real energy independence.  Politicizing immigration, as in suing Arizona over border enforcement, backfires by rallying support for secure borders.  And Obamacare?  It saddled companies with $1.4 billion in losses, low public approval (just 33 percent per CNN), and job-killing fines.

Democrat policies — from Obamacare to Biden’s inflation machine to crippling regulations, burdensome taxes, and progressive pipe dreams — betray traditional American values by expanding government at the expense of freedom and prosperity.  They harm minorities through economic pain, burden the poor with hidden taxes, and fail politically by exposing overreach.  This overreach became noticeable during Obama’s tenure and accelerated under Biden.  Voters are increasingly recognizing that Democrat policies are abhorrent, unworkable, and inevitably harmful to the people they are ostensibly meant to help.

True progress lies in conservative reforms — tax cuts, deregulation, and market incentives that lift all boats.  As Americans tire of big government’s failures, it’s time to reclaim the limited government ethos that made our nation strong.  By rejecting leftist ideas, we can foster opportunity, security, and unity for generations to come.

The biblical prophet Isaiah warned us of these Bizarro-like policies when he said, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.”

Perhaps someone should tell the Democrats.

Kevin Finn, American Thinker

I live near this event (The April 19th Reenactment of the encounter between Colonials and the British at the Old North Bridge) but had only gone to it once before many years ago, and it was rainy with no visibility of the event due to crowd size. I determined it wasn’t worth going to again until this anniversary. I thought this would be something I should go to.

In 1976, the 200 Year Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, I had no opportunity to see any of it because I was an E2 Airman Apprentice doing Scullery Duty in the Chiefs Mess aboard the USS JFK tied up at Pier 12 in Norfolk, VA. Wasn’t even able to go ashore on liberty.

So, I thought I should not miss this opportunity, as I likely won’t be alive for any future celebration of this kind.

I got out of my car at around 4 AM, parking about four miles away and walking over because I wanted to be at the Old North Bridge for some 05:45 AM event, and the shuttle busses didn’t start running until 6 AM. I arrived at the Old North Bridge around 05:15 or so. There were a lot of people setting up and preparing, but only a few spectators like me, so this was as good as I could expect.

I asked where they were going to allow people to watch from, and found what I thought would be the best area to view from when the re-enactment took place. I made sure to ask some park rangers, and they pointed out the best spot to watch from. (That reenactment never took place. It was only a parade ceremony.)

As the ceremonies progressed, I saw through my binoculars a person with an idiotic “No Kings” sign off on the other side of the Concord River, and another soy boy on the Old North Bridge with a “Stop Facism” sign who stayed there until they kicked him off, and a few more of those types of dumb asses, and thought that I wouldn’t care as long as I wouldn’t have to be close to them.

There were two guys here, one dressed as a banana for some reason, with their signs indicating they were being oppressed.

I think these people are total statist morons, the kinds who would wave around Little Red Books in Mao’s Communist China. But those men stood their ground on that bridge 250 years ago to give even these ideologic statists the RIGHT to stand out there with their filthy signs. So, I have to accept the bad with the good. It has been my observation, from much experience, that Conservatives almost always have a similar opinion as my own.

However, long experience has also told me that this mindset is not in any way reciprocated by Leftists.

Around 06:30 AM, they began to move spectators out of the way, and they came into the area I was in. I saw an amusing sight (to me at least) of a man in British Army garb with his electric bike…it occurred to me that the British Regulars might have appreciated those back in 1775.

As the crowd in the spectator area began to increase, a woman asked me if I would be willing to move to allow her and her friends to stand together, and I politely refused, saying I had picked out this spot hours ago because it gave me the best view of both ends of the bridge for the soon to be non-existent reenactment. She seemed to accept that.

Then, I realized as the crowd of people directly around me increased, that her “friends” were all these douchebags affiliated with an organization called “Indivisible” who I know are the most radical and vocal a-hole Leftists out there. Worse than Code Pink or MoveOn.org type. Over the years, I have had to see their scumbag signs on a daily basis, and have had the tiresome opportunity of crossing their paths politically at some standouts or other demonstrations. I immediately recognized their jackass “Dear Leader” from having seen and heard him before. I estimate there were ten or 15 of them with their signs though it was hard to tell the way they milled around.

At that point, a media person came over to interview them. They all lined up dutifully with their signs, and he began interviewing them.

A man behind me said “Are you from New England?” and as I said “Yes I am!” and turned, I saw it was one of the Leftists wearing a mask, apparently the husband of the woman who had asked if I would move to give her group more room. I said politely “I’m not interested in talking with your group.” and the guy said “There’s nothing wrong with talking, I think we have to talk.” and I said politely in a level tone “No. I’d rather not interact with you. Let’s leave it at that.”

One of these people being interviewed was so vacuous, that I realized there was value in transcribing what she said as her fellow Leftists all nodded dutifully in approval at what she was saying. I began recording it, not secretly, but holding my phone up to record the voice (not video).

While he was endeavoring to engage me, his wife was trying to dissuade him from bothering me, which he stopped trying to do, and I had no further issue with them. As a matter of fact, she went out of her way to thank me (after my next encounter with the stupid one who got in my face) for serving in the military, which my ball cap made evident, and said that her father had served in WWII. I politely and genuinely thanked her but was not interested in pursuing the conversation. I appreciated that she did that. It made me wonder why she was there with those other people. I guess she had her reasons.

The “reporter” asked them: “Why do you feel like you have to come out here?”

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) denounced criticism of the transgender community … after FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed the Minneapolis Catholic school shooter had insisted that people should treat him as a “transgender woman.”

“Anybody who is using this as an opportunity to villainize our trans community or any other community out there has lost their sense of common humanity,” Frey said. “We should not be operating out of a place of hate for anyone. We should be operating from a place of love for our kids. Kids died today.”

Frey claimed that he had “heard about a whole lot of hate that’s being directed at” the transgender community.

Frey’s comments come after Patel confirmed on Monday that two people were left dead, and 17 others were injured. Patel also confirmed that the gunman was Robin Westman, “a male born as Robert Westman.” [from Breitbart News, 8-27-25]

Funny. He denounces all who criticize anyone who pretends to be the opposite of their actual gender. But he doesn’t have a word to say against violent sociopaths who shoot up a school full of little kids.

We still live in morally inverted times.

Minnesota’s Lt. Governor was pictured (before the shooting) wearing a shirt that advocates using violence to “protect” trans kids.

Will there be ANY accountability? Even verbally? No way. They’ll nominate her for Vice President.

Leftist lunatics: “Transgenders” get a free pass for shooting school children. Sick.

Michael J. Hurd

Don’t get me wrong — I love Trump, and everything he’s doing. But one man cannot hold a country and a culture together. We have the media, the schools, the entertainment industry, the bloated and still corrupt federal government, little Cubas like New York, California and every blue state and city, sports teams, clothing stores, the hospitality industry, television, Internet, universities, on and on, every last one of them is WOKE.

What happens when Trump is gone? Are the rest of us prepared to keep it going? I hope so. In the meantime, I savor these moments. He is driving leftists CRAZY.

Michael J. Hurd, Daily Dose of Reason

Here’s the truth about this case they don’t want you to know. It only took the Communists 9 days to engineer Floyd’s death, loot & torch Minneapolis, shut down the Minneapolis police department & start race riots across America! They pulled another Jussie & the world fell for it.

The autopsy showed he did NOT die from asphyxiation or trauma – he died from heart failure due to lethal levels of fentanyl, heroin & meth in his sysftem.

Why did they do this? So Communists can build a huge corridor of new public housing on Lake Street for absentee ballot mills to control the vote in Minnesota from Hennepin County, dismantle the police & push through cheat-by-mail for the Democrats.

CAIR, ANTIFA, Black Lives Matter, Black Bloc, the Youth Liberation Front, Occupy Wall Street & Sojourners are all front organizations for the Communist Party in the United States. They operate liberal activist groups, fake religious groups, social justice groups & mercenaries whose goal is the overthrow of America.

AG Barr just declared left-wing ANTIFA a terrorist organization. It is a militant group that was started in 1932 by the COMMUNIST Party of Germany. It has since infiltrated and overtaken many other organizations in America.

George Floyd had prior connections to Keith Ellison, Mayor Jacob Frey, Hollywood, CAIR, Derek Chauvin & Amy Klobuchar.

Keith Ellison is the defacto leader of ANTIFA & CAIR in Minnesota and Ilhan Omar is one of his creations. Keith Ellison & Ilhan Omar use the same “campaign manager” known for his expertise in “foreign money” handling, Tim Mynett.

Ilhan Omar even married Tim Mynett for spousal privilege after she married her gay brother for immigration fraud.

Ellison’s son, Jeremiah, who runs the Minneapolis City Council, just pledged his allegiance to ANTIFA & his plan to shut down the police department & replace it with “community out-reach.”

Keith Ellison is good friends with the LEADER of Portland’s Rose City ANTIFA, Luis Enrique Marquez, which flies the Communist flag.

Ellison converted to Islam in law school, was a student of Farrakhan, once defended cop killers, called for reparations & a separate country for black people within America, and wrote many racist articles under the name of Keith Hakim Mohammad X. He changed his name when he ran for office in Minnesota.

George Floyd & Derek Chauvin KNEW each other & worked security together at a Latino restaurant, called El Nuevo Rodeo, on Lake Street & 27th in Minneapolis.

The face of that restaurant, Maya Santamaria, with a history of problems, ran the business for the Sabri family who want to develop Lake Street for the refugee community as an extension of Cedar Riverside. Santamaria & Frey are good friends.

Sabri, from Jordan, is the developer behind the Somali mall on East Lake Street – and wants to build ANOTHER Somali mall on East Lake Street. His projects are backed by Ellison, Omar & Frey. Sabri has long wanted to build condominiums on Lake Street and been turned down.

Sundance reports that the El Nuevo Rodeo restaurant is likely a money-laundering & counterfeit money front for the Sabri family that was forced to close during COVID. El Nuevo was looted during the riots.

Omar Investments Inc. has owned El Nuevo Rodeo Cantina and night club since 1996.  The principle of Omar Investments Inc. is Muna Sabri. In 2001, Basim Sabri was captured by the FBI in a sting operation. The Sabris are a wealthy family with a history of bribing Minneapolis city officials.

Basim Sabri claimed that Abdi Warsame, who sits on Ellison’s Minneapolis City Council, took bribes from him.

Born in Somalia, Warsame was brought to Minnesota from London by Soros to master the absentee ballot vote in Minnesota and FLIP it blue. He began by running Cedar Riverside & turning it into a ballot making machine – which elected Ilhan Omar & Keith Ellison. He’s succeeded in controlling the vote in Minnesota through voter fraud & 3rd party ringers.

Derek Chauvin worked at El Nuevo Rodeo for 17 years. That puts Derek Chauvin showing up to work security at El Neuvo Rodeo right after the FBI busted Basim Sabri. Chauvin received a COMMENDATION medal after he arrested violent gang members outside El Nuevo Rodeo in 2008.

Cup Foods owner, Mahmoud Abumayyaleh, a Black Lives Matter activist from the Middle East, whose employee called the cops on George Floyd for passing a wet $20 counterfeit bill, knew George Floyd – who was a regular at the store. Who else did Mahmoud know? Cup Foods has a checkered past.

It was Mahmoud’s Facebook post that announced George’s death and called it a racist murder. The day after George’s death, Mahmoud went on every major network to tell his story and called for the immediate arrest of all 4 officers. His partners at CAIR did the same thing.

Within 6 hours after George died, a “community journalist” associated with Mahmoud and BLM had sent the “video” to the media & the family hired Ben Crumb, the attorney behind Trayvon Martin, and Shaun King of Black Lives Matters was ratcheting up the noise. Within 12 hours, Frey held a press conference with the MPD. Within 18 hours, all 4 officers were fired. An hour later, Frey led a Town Hall on the case. It’s like it was all planned ahead of time.

Members of CAIR “filmed” George Floyd’s death outside Cup Foods in Minneapolis and erected a large portrait of Floyd on the street. They wore Black Lives Matter shirts and handed out sambusas, or stuffed pastries, to mourners in Elliot Park in Minneapolis.

It took Frey 4 days to respond to the riots, after the entire city had been looted & burned, but within 6 hours he planned a press conference on the Floyd death? PLANNED.

There is body cam footage from all 4 officers which we’ve NEVER seen, only the cell phone video from a stranger and the Cup Foods surveillance video from a man who is anti-American, anti-police and works for Black Lives Matters. Why?

The first two officers on the scene, when called from Cup Foods about George Floyd passing a counterfeit $20 bill, were rookies, each with less than 4 shifts as police officers.

It was his FOURTH day as a police officer when Thomas Lane, 37, pulled his weapon on George Floyd and asked him to put his hands on the steering wheel of his car. Lane asked Floyd if he was ON something due to the foam coming out of his mouth. Floyd mumbled “I can’t breathe.”

,J Alexander Kueng, 26, is a rookie cop who was working his THIRD SHIFT EVER as a police officer when he encountered George Floyd. He stood on the passenger side of Floyd’s car, while Lane held a gun on him. Kueng, who identifies as an African-American, now faces 40 years in prison for the so-called “racist murder” of a fellow African-American.

Chauvin and his partner showed up late to the scene and helped the two rookies try to maneuver Floyd into the patrol car. They failed. Chauvin pulled him to the ground and kneeled on him.

Look at this photo of Chauvin 2 years ago with his wife, a Laos refugee, who ran for Mrs Minnesota in 2018. And this photo of the original mug shot compared to the kneeler. What happened to Chauvin?

Not only was Chauvin employed by El Nuevo Rodeo for 17 years, he and he wife are real estate agents, own a home in Minnesota AND Florida, are residents of Florida and run an AirBNB there. Up until last week, Chauvin’s wife said he was the “most gentle” man she’s ever known. Now she filed for divorce and said he’s a murderer. Quite a shift in a short period.

Even more confusing, the media is now claiming Chauvin is a Republican who committed voter fraud while being a Florida resident. Think about that latest spin to tie Trump & Republicans to his actions.

George Floyd had sickle cell anemia & heart disease & lethal levels of fentanyl & heroin in his body as well as meth, speed & marijuana in his body at the time of death. No one mentions this at all. Why? The autopsy says he died at 9:25PM – after he was transported to the hospital.

Sickle cell anemia reduces oxygen to your brain & tissues and lowers life expectancy by over 20 years in a HEALTHY individual. Fentanyl slows oxygen to your brain & both meth & speed can cause cardiac arrest.

The autopsy was performed on May 26th but the actual report was not released to the public until days later, AFTER cities were torched & burned. The toxicology report was complete on May 31st but the results were quietly released to the public on June 4th. Why?

Floyd tested positive for COVID two months ago, so he DID NOT die from that. He had recovered & had anti-bodies. That was another fake narrative to cover the drugs.

Floyd held a gun to a pregnant woman’s stomach, while ransacking her home for money & drugs in Texas in 2007 & served 5 years in prison for armed robbery. He came to Minnesota in 2014 when he got out. How did he get a job working security with Chauvin? Who did his background check?

George Floyd was a porn star – his screen name was BIG FLOYD – and his “work” appeared on a Middle-Eastern porn site called Habib…

Klobuchar declined to prosecute Derek Chauvin for a police shooting that took place in 2006 that went to a grand jury. He was later cleared. So she knew who he was.

If people think Communists wouldn’t drug, murder or pay someone to be a patsy to start a race riot to get rid of the police, rig an election and engineer a murder for the cameras, you need to get out in the real world!
