President Trump on Wednesday unloaded on Somali Muslim Rep. Ilhan Omar, calling for her and the Somali aliens in Minnesota to be kicked out of the country.
“Much of the Minnesota Fraud, up to 90%, is caused by people that came into our Country, illegally, from Somalia,” Trump said, calling Ilhan Omar an “ungrateful loser” and “one of the many scammers.”
“Did she really marry her brother? Lowlifes like this can only be a liability to our Country’s greatness,” Trump continued.
“Send them back from where they came, Somalia, perhaps the worst, and most corrupt, country on earth.”
As The Gateway Pundit reported, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed earlier that the Trump Administration is “not afraid to use denaturalization.”
“It’s something the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of State, is currently looking at right now,” Leavitt said.
Full statement below:
Much of the Minnesota Fraud, up to 90%, is caused by people that came into our Country, illegally, from Somalia. “Congresswoman” Omar, an ungrateful loser who only complains and never contributes, is one of the many scammers. Did she really marry her brother? Lowlifes like this can only be a liability to our Country’s greatness. Send them back from where they came, Somalia, perhaps the worst, and most corrupt, country on earth. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!
This comes after independent reporter Nick Shirley exposed the staggering scope of the corruption, centered largely in Minnesota’s Somali nonprofit ecosystem, where hundreds of millions of taxpayer funds vanished.
Billions of dollars are estimated to have been stolen by Somali fraudsters, ripping off government welfare and child care programs.
Earlier this month, Trump shredded Ilhan Omar, calling for her to be deported, while discussing the $9 billion stolen by Somali fraudsters in Minnesota alone.
“She should not be allowed to be a congresswoman,” the President declared. “She married her brother, either to stay or to get him into the country.”
“You ought to get her the hell out of our country!” Trump said.
The walls are closing in on Minnesota’s Democrat leadership.
House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman James Comer (R-KY) announced that Congress is formally escalating its investigation into the massive, systemic fraud and money-laundering scheme inside Minnesota’s social services programs, all under the watch of far-left Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison.
The Committee will hold a high-stakes hearing titled “Oversight of Fraud and Misuse of Federal Funds in Minnesota: Part I” on January 7, 2026, bringing in Minnesota state officials who say they repeatedly warned the Walz administration about widespread fraud, warnings that were ignored.
Chairman Comer has formally invited, and effectively subpoenaed, Walz and Ellison to testify before Congress on February 10, 2026.
Comer said in a statement:
“Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison have either been asleep at the wheel or complicit in a massive fraud involving taxpayer dollars in Minnesota’s social services programs.
American taxpayers demand and deserve accountability for the theft of their hard-earned money.
The U.S. Department of Justice is actively investigating, prosecuting, and charging fraudsters who have stolen billions from taxpayers, and Congress has a duty to conduct rigorous oversight of this heist and enact stronger safeguards to prevent fraud in taxpayer-funded programs, as well as strong sanctions to hold offenders accountable.
“In addition to conducting transcribed interviews with Minnesota state officials, the House Oversight Committee will hold hearings on fraud in Minnesota’s social services programs to expose failures, identify solutions, and deliver accountability.
Next week, we will hear from Minnesota state lawmakers who sounded the alarm on this fraud—and whose warnings were ignored by the Walz administration.
This misconduct cannot be swept aside, and Congress will not stop until taxpayers get the answers and accountability they deserve.”

WHAT: Oversight of Fraud and Misuse of Federal Funds in Minnesota: Part I WHEN: Wednesday, January 7, 2026 — 10:00 AM ET WHERE: HVC-210, U.S. Capitol Visitor Center
WITNESSES:
Rep. Kristin Robbins (MN House)
Rep. Walter Hudson (MN House)
Rep. Marion Rarick (MN House)
These lawmakers are expected to testify that their early warnings about rampant fraud were ignored by the Walz administration, allowing the theft to continue unchecked.
Last week, Comer expanded the investigation to include:
Massive welfare fraud
Extensive money laundering
Alleged retaliation against whistleblowers
Possible efforts by Minnesota officials to cover up evidence
Federal prosecutors have already charged dozens of individuals for stealing more than $240 million through the Minnesota-based nonprofit Feeding Our Future, one of the largest COVID-era fraud cases in U.S. history.
Even more disturbing, multiple reports claimed that fraudulently obtained funds were sent overseas to support terrorist organizations, including Al-Shabaab and ISIS, a national-security nightmare enabled by bureaucratic negligence or worse.
Whistleblowers inside Minnesota’s Department of Human Services (DHS) have alleged that records were deleted and data withheld to conceal the scope of the fraud.
Earlier this month, Chairman Comer formally requested:
Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) from the Treasury Department to track money flows
A briefing from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on financial enforcement failures
A DOJ briefing from Attorney General Pam Bondi on the fraud prosecutions already underway

The People’s Republic of San Francisco has decided to enshrine race-based reparations into law with the help of their alleged ‘moderate‘ mayor.
As the Daily Mail reported, San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie gave black residents of his city an early Christmas gift by signing a reparations bill that could grant each one of them a whopping $5 MILLION in reparations. The legislation was signed on December 23.
Per The Daily Mail, here is how this scheme will unfold:
The ordinance establishes a reparations fund, as recommended by the city’s African American Reparations Advisory Committee (AARAC) in its 2023 report.
The legislation establishes the fund but does not allocate any money to it, setting up the framework for any future contributions, whether they be through the city or privately donated.
The AARAC is tasked with developing ‘recommendations for repairing harm in our black communities,’ according to its website. Per the 2023 report, every eligible African-American adult in San Francisco should be handed a $5 million lump sum to ‘compensate the affected population for the decades of harm that they have experienced.’
Approximately 50,000 black people live in San Francisco, and the qualifying requirements remain unclear.
This move also comes despite the city facing a whopping $1 billion budget deficit. But this did not deter Lurie in the slightest.
“For several years, communities across the city have been working with the government to acknowledge the decades of harm done to San Francisco’s black community,” Lurie wrote.
“While that process largely predates my administration, I am signing the legislation to create this fund in recognition of the work of so many San Franciscans and the unanimous support of the Board of Supervisors.”
Roughly a week before Lurie signed off on the plan, the city’s Board of Supervisors voted in favor of it.
The move promptly sparked criticism. Bay Area conservative activist Richie Greenberg slammed the decision to institute race-based reparations as “ludicrously unlawful, irresponsible, illegal, and unconstitutional.”
Independent San Francisco journalist Erica Sandberg was also highly critical.
“After large-scale No Kings protests in the summer of 2025 that condemned authoritarian policies from the Trump administration, local officials making such a unilateral decision that is clearly at odds with public sentiment is hypocritical,” she wrote.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported on the proposal from the San Francisco “Reparations Committee” back in 2023 to pay each longtime black resident $5 million and grant them total debt forgiveness for suffering decades of “systemic repression.”
“While neither San Francisco, nor California, formally adopted the institution of chattel slavery, the tenets of segregation, white supremacy and systematic repression and exclusion of Black people were codified through legal and extralegal actions, social codes, and judicial enforcement,” the proposed draft from the committee said.
The committee also considered supplementing lower-income blacks so they can afford housing.
“Racial disparities across all metrics have led to a significant racial wealth gap in the City of San Francisco,” the draft stated. “By elevating income to match AMI, Black people can better afford housing and achieve a better quality of life.”
Earlier this year, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill to create the Bureau for Descendants of American Slavery, which will create a structure for reparations.
Thankfully, he vetoed five other reparations measures. These included bills that would have allowed colleges to prioritize “descendants of American slavery” and another that would provide reimbursement for so-called victims of “racially motivated” eminent domain.
Justice Secretary David Lammy and his Labour party are freeing dangerous felons by the thousands.
It turns out releasing dangerous criminals is turning out just as badly as we expected.
When failing Keir Starmer became British Prime Minister, he implemented a slew of suicidal policies that are not-so-slowly destroying the United Kingdom.
Out of all the bad ideas, the early release of dangerous convicts to deal with prison overcrowd may be the worst of them all.
LAMMY UNDER FIRE AS 90 VIOLENT CRIMINALS FREED BY “MISTAKE”
The accidental release of the Epping sex offender was just the beginning – over 90 violent offenders have now been confirmed as wrongly released from British prisons.
“Almost 900 serious crimes have been recorded in the past year as being committed by offenders under supervision of probation after being released from jail or while serving community sentences. It is the highest number since records began, and accounts for at least one murder and two rapes every week of the year. Offences also include attempted murder, manslaughter, sexual assaults, arson, kidnapping and causing death by driving or with a stolen vehicle.”
Remember when @UKLabour assured us all the prison early release scheme would not be problematic because only for minor crime and women would DEFINITELY be safe? (We never were). Freed prisoners are committing 2 rapes a week amidst a record number of further offences. pic.twitter.com/fM5Jtvnw9a
Chief inspector of probation, Martin Jones said public safety was being put at risk, and ordered a nationwide inspection of probation’s management of dangerous criminals.
Jones said he was ‘increasingly concerned that probation is falling short in its duty to protect the public’.
“He said the driving factors were acute shortages of front-line probation officers, with about 30 per cent fewer than required, and a breakdown in information-sharing between probation, police and social services.
‘These gaps mean that hard-pressed probation staff are sometimes lacking critical information on the dynamic risk people on probation may pose’, he told The Telegraph.”
Prisons are overflowing, they’re letting dangerous bastards out at 40% of their sentence knowing they’ll go on to do it again so they can cram more in. Foreign prisoners contribute more and more to this crisis, they’re demonstrably more likely to commit crime, particularly sexual… pic.twitter.com/5J1GsZHmW6
Despite initially voting to reappoint Hedquist, Salem City Councilor Vanessa Nordyke is now calling on the city council to revisit the issue in January.
Salem Business Journal notes that Salem Police Employees Union President Scotty Nowning said, “the controversy is as much about the city’s guardrails as it is about Hedquist.”
“This isn’t even necessarily about Mr. Hedquist,” Nowning said. “Because if you move him off there, if you don’t change your guardrails … you could just put someone else on there with equal criminal history or worse.”
Nordyke, who is running against Mayor Julie Hoy, originally voted in favor of Hedquist’s reappointment, but said he should be removed from public safety boards after hearing from the Salem Police and Salem Fire unions. She is calling on council to revisit the issue Jan. 12.
“The police and firefighter unions each raised legitimate concerns that I hadn’t fully considered,” Nordyke said in a statement. “After weighing this new information, I realized I should have sought broader input before the vote.”

“On November 24, 1994, Kyle Hedquist and one of his friends, Jonathan Timmons, stole a number of items from the home of Hedquist’s aunt, Cheryl Briggs, while she was away for Thanksgiving. Hedquist and Timmons took the stolen items and stashed them at the apartment of Timmon’s girlfriend, Misty Dalton. Nikki Thrasher, the teenager Hedquist would murder a few days later, was roommates with Ms. Dalton. Ms. Thrasher was completely unaware of the burglary.
On the morning of November 27, 1994, Ms. Thrasher saw some of the stolen items and asked Hedquist about them. Hedquist, concerned that Ms. Thrasher might find out the items were stolen and report him, decided he had to kill Ms. Thrasher to keep that from happening.
Hedquist lied and told Ms. Thrasher that one of her friends had left a message wanting to meet her on a hill to the west of the Melrose area. Hedquist then offered to drive Ms. Thrasher out to the meeting place. When they arrived at the bottom of a mountain road near the location Hedquist pulled out a pistol and told Ms. Thrasher that he was going to kill her. Hedquist then forced Ms. Thrasher to walk up the dirt road so he could find the most appropriate place to kill her.
After walking, some distance Ms. Thrasher began hyperventilating and Hedquist, frustrated with Ms. Thrasher’s inability to continue walking, raised his pistol and shot Ms. Thrasher in the back of the head.
Hedquist then grabbed Ms. Thrasher’s lifeless body and dumped it in a less conspicuous place on the roadside.”

Imagine getting in early on the biggest boom in modern history — just like the one investor who spotted NVIDIA years before it exploded roughly 28,000% and made early backers life-changing money. Today, that same legendary tech investor says another unprecedented opportunity is unfolding — and this one could be even bigger.
Welcome to America’s $100 Trillion Heartland Revival — a powerful economic renaissance quietly building in the nation’s core that could reshape energy, industry, and AI infrastructure forever.
Why This Opportunity Is Bigger Than AI Chips
Everyone knows AI chips are hot — but few realize that nothing AI does matters without reliable, scalable energy and fuel. That’s why this investor isn’t talking about another gadget or software breakthrough — he’s pointing to the hidden engine powering the next wave of explosive growth.
Anna’s Views
According to his research, America’s Heartland is on the verge of producing critical fuel and infrastructure components that the AI revolution absolutely cannot function without. Think of it this way:
– AI demands constant, massive power — not sporadic energy bursts.
– Traditional power grids can’t keep up.
Enter Freedom Factories — compact, modular systems poised to deliver energy at scale 24/7.
These systems aren’t futuristic concepts — they’re already being approved, funded, and built. And here’s the kicker: only a tiny handful of companies stand to reap the lion’s share of the boom.
The Heartland Revival: Not Just Another Trend — A New Economic Engine
This is about real, physical assets powering AI, manufacturing, transportation, defense, and national growth — not just speculative tech buzzwords. From modular energy plants to specialty fuels and infrastructure materials, experts believe this could be:
The next foundational economic shift in American history, eclipsing the original semiconductor surge that made early NVIDIA investors billions.
And the explosive total economic value? Analysts estimate this movement could unlock as much as $100 trillion in new asset creation, services, and market growth.
Get the Full Playbook Before the Crowd
This isn’t just a story — it’s a call to action.
The same voice who picked NVIDIA long before Wall Street caught on is now inviting everyday investors to get ahead of this new paradigm. With demand for energy and specialized materials about to skyrocket, the window to act is closing fast.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Wednesday joined Fox News to discuss the Somali fraud ring in Minnesota, and she revealed plans to potentially revoke the citizenship of aliens who defraud American taxpayers and declared that arrests will be made as subpoenas and search warrants are executed at the crime scenes.
This comes after independent reporter Nick Shirley exposed the staggering scope of the corruption, centered largely in Minnesota’s Somali nonprofit ecosystem, where hundreds of millions of taxpayer funds vanished.
Billions of dollars are estimated to have been stolen by Somali fraudsters, ripping off government welfare and child care programs.
Leavitt told Fox’s Griff Jenkins on Tuesday that the Department of Homeland Security and Department of State are “looking at” revoking the citizenship of naturalized Somali immigrants involved in the massive fraud.
President Trump “absolutely” wants their citizenship revoked, she said.
WATCH:
Jenkins: Does President Trump want those Somalis to have their citizenship revoked if convicted of fraud?
Leavitt: Absolutely, and it’s something the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of State, is currently looking at right now. It’s something this administration has already done, and we know that there are liberal activist judges across the country who will try to block and tackle this administration from pursuing justice at every turn. But that’s not going to stop the President and his entire cabinet by acting on behalf of law abiding taxpaying citizens in the state of Minnesota and in states across the country, who have been ripped off by people who abused our immigration system, came to our country, do not love our country or respect our values, and now have been ripping off and stealing money from law abiding Americans. This administration is not going to tolerate it.
And again, this is a whole of government effort. We’ve surged resources. As you pointed out, the Department of Justice has already charged and prosecuted nearly 100 people. In fact, some of the buildings and some of the sites that Nick Shirley exposed in that video are under current investigation by the Department of Justice. One of those sites, the Midway building, resulted in 13 defendants already being charged earlier this year under the leadership of our Attorney General and President Trump. So, that is definitely going to continue.
In another segment of the interview, Leavitt slammed “completely incompetent” Governor Tim Walz and said that the Department of Justice is investigating the operation. “People will be in handcuffs as a result of the fraud that Governor Walz has allowed to occur for many, many years.”
Tim Walz and Minnesota State officials also need to be arrested for covering up the fraud and allowing it to happen. Otherwise, these aren’t serious investigations.
“We’re also not afraid to use denaturalization. That’s a tool at the President and the Secretary of State’s disposal, and it’s one this administration has previously used before,” she added.
WATCH:
Leavitt: Governor Walz is completely incompetent. He always has been, and President Trump has long called him out for his incompetence and his poor leadership in the great state of Minnesota. I want to commend Nick Shirley for his incredible video and real journalism that went viral this past week. He epitomizes what New Media looks like, and that’s exactly why we at the White House, under President Trump’s direction, have embraced new media journalists like Nick Shirley. We’ve welcomed them in to the White House press pool. We invited Nick Shirley to brief the President of the United States at an Antifa roundtable earlier this year, and this fraud in Governor Waltz’s state in Minnesota is something the Trump administration has been working on since day one And since Nick Shirley’s journalism really brought this issue further to light, we have surged resources across the board to the state, so I want your audience to understand this is a top priority for the administration.
The Department of Justice, as we speak, is continuing to execute search warrants and subpoenas. People will be in handcuffs as a result of the fraud that Governor Walz has allowed to occur for many, many years. The Department of Homeland Security is conducting door to door investigations on the ground at potential fraud sites, and they’re also, of course, conducting continued deportations of illegal aliens in Minnesota’s communities. We’re also not afraid to use denaturalization. That’s a tool at the President and the Secretary of State’s disposal, and it’s one this administration has previously used before.
I know the Health and Human Services Department has also announced we are cutting off all childcare funding to the state of Minnesota until we get to the bottom of this fraud. The Department of Labor is investigating their unemployment insurance program. The Department of USDA, Agriculture, Secretary Rollins, weeks ago, sent a letter to Governor Walz, demanding he turn over every single name of SNAP recipients on the books in Minnesota. And the Minnesota Attorney General actually sued the Trump administration for that. What are they hiding?
Călin Georgescu, the clear winner of the first round of Romania’s annulled 2024 presidential election, has issued a dramatic challenge to the country’s corrupt, globalist political establishment: submit the justification for canceling the vote to independent international scrutiny.
In a move that cuts directly against Brussels-aligned, anti-democratic narratives, Georgescu has appealed to the United States and Israel to verify the claims used by the regime to overturn a free and fair election, the Romania press has reported.
At the center of the controversy is a report circulated by figures aligned with Bucharest’s entrenched ruling elite, allegedly used to legitimize the cancellation of the second round of voting, and subsequently ban the frontrunner, Mr. Georgescu. The document claims Russian interference and indirect support for Georgescu—but, according to him, offers no verifiable evidence.
Rather than retreating under pressure, Georgescu is doubling down, publicly demanding that the report be sent in full, without redactions, to Washington and Jerusalem. He argues that if the accusations are real, they certainly ought to withstand scrutiny by states with the technical capacity and intelligence expertise to assess them independently.
Georgescu has made clear that he does not trust the same globalist political networks in Europe that supported the annulment to investigate themselves. In his view, the decision to cancel the vote was driven less by facts than by fear—fear of a candidate who refuses to submit to globalist orthodoxy.
The former presidential contender has accused Bucharest officials of parading the report through European bureaucratic leadership circles while avoiding truly neutral oversight. That omission, he argues, raises serious questions about whether the allegations are meant to inform or intimidate.
In a public statement, Georgescu declared that if independent verification by the United States and Israel confirms the accusations, he will accept the consequences without hesitation. But if the claims collapse under scrutiny, he insists the Romanian people deserve accountability for what he describes as an unprecedented assault on their democratic rights.
Georgescu’s appeal has struck a chord with millions of Romanians who watched their votes nullified by administrative decree. For them, the cancellation was not a legal technicality, but a direct message, saying certain outcomes are unacceptable, no matter how citizens vote. The suspension of democracy, effectively.
Georgescu’s supporters see his call for international oversight as a rare act of political courage. At a time when most leaders seek approval from EU globalist
bureaucracies, he is demanding answers from outside the closed, deeply corrupt, anti-democratic European circuit that has grown hostile to any kind of national sovereignty.
The controversy has also been fueled by vicious personal attacks against Georgescu, including accusations of extremism and anti-Semitism—claims he categorically rejects. He has argued that Israel, because of its sensitivity to such matters, is uniquely qualified to assess the credibility of these allegations without ideological bias.
Beyond the personal dimension, Georgescu frames the dispute as a civilizational question. He has warned that when truth is subordinated to political convenience, societies lose not only elections, but moral direction.
Legal challenges against him continue to unfold, which Georgescu has described as increasingly surreal and politically motivated. Rather than weakening his position, these proceedings have reinforced the perception that Romania’s institutions are being weaponized against dissent.
Critics of the annulment argue that Romania is becoming a case study in managed democracy—where elections are tolerated only if they produce approved results. Georgescu’s rise disrupted that model, and his removal, they say, was the rotten system’s reflexive response.
By insisting on external verification, Georgescu has effectively turned the tables. Instead of defending himself before compromised institutions, he is forcing the accusers to defend their claims before the world.
The implications extend far beyond Romania. If a first-round election victory can be erased through opaque reports and unproven allegations, no European democracy is immune from similar interventions.
For many voters, Georgescu now represents more than a canceled candidate. He has become a symbol of resistance to a political order that preaches democracy and claims to be its staunched defender while blatantly trampling upon it and emptying it of any substance.
As the calendar turns toward 2026, Georgescu has framed the coming year as a test: whether truth will be confronted, or buried beneath bureaucracy and fear. His demand is stark but clear—either the allegations stand up to real scrutiny, or Romania must reckon with the consequences of having silenced its own people.
In challenging both domestic authorities and their globalist EU backers, Georgescu has drawn a line that cannot easily be erased. The question now is not only whether the election was stolen—but whether Romania still has the courage to find out.
