in Rural America'
Posted By: ConservativeYankee, 12/30/2025 8:44:24 AM
On Monday, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced $50 billion in grants to all 50 U.S. states to be used for the sole goal of transforming health care in rural America. As the White House announced, the Rural Health Transformation Program was established through Trump’s Working Families Tax Cuts legislation in the One Big Beautiful Bill, which President Donald Trump signed into law in July. This first-of-its-kind initiative represents the largest federal investment in rural health care in U.S. history.

Some of us have been sounding the alarm bells on the following massive fraud scheme that's about to hit Minnesota like a January blizzard. Tim Walz and the Democrats who run the state approved "family leave" legislation that would, ostensibly, give Minnesota workers up to 20 weeks of paid leave for the birth of a child or to care for a spouse, child, or other family member with a serious health condition. But as this writer noted earlier this month, it's fertile ground for another round of billions of dollars of fraud, courtesy the Minnesota taxpayer.
A leaked photo reportedly from an internal U.S. Postal Service (USPS) update reveals that the agency will continue to use “non-domiciled” drivers. The leaked image purports to show that USPS, which operates independently of the president, will accept or hire non-citizen commercial drivers as of 2026. The leak comes in the weeks following the Trump administration’s announcement of increased scrutiny and English proficiency requirements for CDL issuance to migrants.
Sen. Rick Scott released a statement last week urging the Trump administration to crack down on USPS CDL hiring practices.
“It is deeply concerning that the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) reportedly uses the very same drivers that your agencies
From 2022 to 2024, two-thirds of the rental demand in the United States was attributable to the foreign-born population in the US. This comes as rental prices have been outpacing inflation numbers.
According to the Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) recently released "Worst Case Housing Needs Report," which is published every two years, the foreign-born population accounted for over 60 percent of all rental demand in the US.
"Immigration accounts for up to 100 percent of housing demand growth in some regions, and for two-thirds of rental demand growth nationwide. In California and New York, immigrants have accounted for 100 percent of all rental growth and
Well, this is certainly different – a federal court has actually ruled in favor of the Trump administration, handing down a decision Monday that will allow Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to use Medicaid data to track down and deport illegal aliens starting January 6. The ruling comes after 22 blue states, led by California, sued the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) back in July, arguing that the administration's mass transfer of Medicaid data to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) illegally exposed confidential health information, including immigration status. The lawsuit was filed after HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., authorized a data transfer
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed a lawsuit accusing Virginia of unlawfully granting illegal aliens in-state resident discounts on college tuition.
The state’s education code classifies illegal immigrants as Virginia residents, qualifying them for reduced in-state tuition costs, the lawsuit claims. This policy therefore allows illegals to access benefits not available to most other Americans, making it “not only wrong but illegal,” the DOJ stated. “Federal law prohibits States from providing aliens who are not lawfully present in the United States with any postsecondary education benefit that is denied to U.S. citizens,” the court documents read. “There are no exceptions. Virginia violates it nonetheless.
Westminster, Colorado, police warned drivers Monday that warming up your car by leaving it running unattended — “puffing” — is illegal under state law and makes vehicles “easy targets” for thieves.
The reminder is part of a broader push by Colorado law enforcement to cut down on cold-weather auto thefts tied to idling cars left unattended in driveways and parking lots. Colorado’s “unattended motor vehicle” statute requires drivers in charge of an unlocked vehicle to stop the engine and remove the key before leaving it, with a limited exception for remote starter systems if the driver takes security measures. “Puffing is also ILLEGAL in Colorado (immobilizing remote start systems excluded)
The House Majority Whip has some strong — very strong — thoughts on the current fraud scandal engulfing his state.
There’s just one problem: The message isn’t quite landing the way he’d probably like it to.
Minnesota GOP Rep. Tom Emmer took to X on Monday and absolutely torched the Somali immigrants who’ve been busted in the Gopher State’s ongoing fraud debacle. “I’m calling for the denaturalization and deportation of every Somali engaged in fraud in Minnesota,” Emmer posted, before truly unleashing in a follow-up statement.

The New York City Council has passed what has been called the Community Opportunity to Purchase Act (COPA) that will force private building owners to offer up their property to nonprofits and government entities before they make any private sale, effectively causing massive delays in property sales and other regulatory hurdles in the Big Apple’s housing industry.
In the scenario that it is passed, NYC will have the largest COPA program in the country. The act forces landlords to offer their property to the city as well as nonprofits before the building can be sold on the public market.

Has Listed Phone Number Taking You To
Tim Walz’s Office 8 replies
A child care center licensed under Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s administration raised eyebrows by having a publicly listed phone number leading to Walz’s office.
Sweet Angel Child Care in Minneapolis went viral Monday after X users pointed out that its phone number on Google Maps is the same as Walz’s office — and after YouTube creator Nick Shirley featured the building in a Friday video investigating whether several state-licensed businesses in Minnesota are legitimate.
Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) records also show the day care kept its license despite numerous violations of state child care standards, raising questions about oversight of such businesses under Walz’s welfare bureaucracy.
Even as massive fraud schemes are uncovered in Minnesota, orchestrated primarily by Somali refugees, Democrats are circling the wagons.
Refugees and asylum-seekers provide a substantial net benefit to the United States, they claim, generating more wealth than they take from the government.
But that talking point is based on a federal study that was rejected in 2017 by the first Trump administration as methodologically unsound and preposterous in its conclusions. The study was resurrected and expanded by the Biden administration in 2024.
Today, 73% of Somali households have at least one member enrolled in Medicaid, and 89% of Somali families with children participate in
For all the lawmakers who’ve announced plans to retire from congressional service after 2026, there’s a long list of former members from both parties who want to be back in Congress.
They range from former lawmakers whose terms ended only a year ago to ex-members who’ve been out of the political spotlight for more than a decade.
Here’s a look at the former members who have launched comeback bids for 2026:

President Trump's name being added to The Kennedy Center has really upended the world of performing arts in the Nation's Capital.
As RedState's Katie Jerkovich reported just a few weeks back, the White House announced that The Kennedy Center would officially be rebranded as The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts – or the Trump-Kennedy Center for short – after its board of trustees voted to rename it. The move came after Trump and Ric Grenell, Trump's handpicked interim president of the storied performing arts center, have spent much of 2025 working to modernize and upgrade the facility and its offerings.
Actor turned left-wing activist George Clooney and his family have taken French citizenship, a publicly available government decree confirmed.
Le Monde reported on Monday that Lexington, Kentucky-born Clooney, his wife, British-Lebanese lawyer Amal Alamuddin Clooney, and twin children Ella and Alexander were all granted French citizenship this month as per the contents of a naturalization decree published by the Official Journal of the French Republic on Saturday, December 27.

Zohran Mamdani will be the first New York City mayor to be sworn in on a Quran when he takes office at midnight on Jan. 1, officials said. Mamdani, who will be the first Muslim to lead City Hall, will use at least three different sets of Islam’s holy book to take the oath of office during his private and public ceremonies Thursday, his spokesperson said. The far-left pol is expected to use his grandfather’s Quran and one that belonged to black writer and historian Arturo Schomburg, lent by the New York Public Library, during a private midnight ceremony at
Somali migrants are claiming that Minnesota’s economy would crash without them, even as the cost of Somali-run welfare fraud is growing on a weekly basis.
Minnesota has been wracked with a series of massive welfare fraud cases, leaving Democrat governor and failed 2024 vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz reeling. Much of the multibillions in fraud has been perpetrated by Somali migrants, who first began pouring into the state in the 1990s.
However, one state legislator is insisting that Minnesota would not be able to survive without Somalians.
Democrat Minnesota State Sen. Zaynab Mohamed — who was born in Somalia — in a recent interview said, “We are in every industry, and Minnesota would not
House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, one of Washington’s top-ranking Republicans, says he is open to legal action against Minnesota’s Democrat leaders following the viral release of a video alleging fraud in state-funded day care centers.
Appearing on Fox News’ “Fox Report Weekend” on Sunday, Emmer praised YouTube content creator Nick Shirley’s recent report, which alleges that several state-funded day care and learning centers, largely operated by immigrants from Somalia, do not provide legitimate services.
(Snip) “Whistleblowers are coming forward,” said Emmer, who added that he would support the prosecution of Walz and Ellison if there was documented evidence of their retaliation against whistleblowers.
"A Somali-run day care is claiming somebody broke in and stole "important documents" as the national spotlight shines on the unfolding multibillion-dollar fraud involving Minnesota human services. Nasrulah Mohamed, manager of Nakomis Daycare Center, told reporters that a suspect entered through the kitchen at the rear of the facility, damaging a wall and breaking into the building's office, sometime Tuesday. He said the alleged prowler stole "important documentation" including children's enrollment information, employee documentation and checkbooks. Mohamed blamed last week's viral video by You Tuber Nick Shirley (snip) Nakomis Day Care Center was not one of the facilities featured in Shirley's video (snip.)
Mali and Burkina Faso have said they are imposing a travel ban on US citizens in response to an equivalent measure announced by the Trump administration earlier this month. In separate statements issued by their foreign ministries late on Tuesday, the two West African countries said they were acting in the name of “reciprocity” after the White House announced on December 16 that President Trump was adding them and five other countries to a list of those subject to a full travel ban.

Shocking unearthed video from a 2018 state fraud case shows Minnesota parents dropping their children off at a day care center and then leaving with the kids moments later — as authorities probe a rampant billion-dollar fraud scheme in Minneapolis.
In the surveillance footage, dated 2015 and obtained by Fox 9, parents are seen signing their kids into the facility so providers could bill the state for full days of care for children who didn’t actually attend.
On some days, no families would even show up at all, but the day cares would still claim reimbursements from the government, the outlet reported at the time.
Hoover Institution senior fellow Victor Davis Hanson will undergo a "major operation" on Tuesday.

"I’m having a major operation, and I’ve got a major problem, and I’m going to have a major effort to solve it, and that’s all I can do," Hanson told listeners.

The mullahs have ruled in Iran since 1979.
That's a long time.
But there are still people who remember what it was like in the country before. They remember what it was like to have more freedom then. There have been resistance movements ever since, inside and outside Iran, trying to bring change. They've had moments in the past where things seemed to come close, such as with the Green Movement that started in 2009, and had hundreds of thousands in the streets. But Barack Obama was in office in 2009, so their hopes of any support were dashed. Then, too, in 2016, he secretly flew $400 million to Iran.
