Original Article

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.

Commiecrats afraid that they'll be connected to the fraud. Republicans afraid that they'll be expected to do something about it.

No - this is happening in every state - there is zero oversight -- congress has to go and we need to re-elect a new batch. Too bad there isn't a mechanism to disband congress and elect a clean slate of representatives & senators.

So this Emmer is from Minnesota and is one the most high ranking republicans in the House and the immediate question comes to mind - Was he aware of this open and massive fraud that was ongoing for years in his home state? If he claims ignorance He is either a complete moron or he is lying and benefitted in some way from the fraud. Is there a list of his campaign donors and are there any Somali doors or Somali linked organizations who donated. This Emmer had to know what was going on!

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer represents Minnesota. He admits that he knew about the Somali fraud schemes for at least ten years but did nothing about it. Frankly, I doubt that he's going to do anything about it now.

Shirley and his crew have already provided all the documented evidence that is needed. Empty building, hostile Somali attendant, locked doors. A quick glance at their books, if they even kept books, would show fake attendance and regular income.

Please tell me Representative Emmer, how long did you know this was going on. Do not tell me you just found out about this because I'm going you that it is BULL. It seems that when it hit the internet you suddenly woke up from your deep sleep and started demanding answers from Tampon Tim. I'm not buying this. You own this mess almost as much as the Governor.

Let’s get to the heart of the problem. And that is that the democrats have been importing unassimilable third world populations here so they can get them on the dole and then have them vote democrat. That needs to stop immediately. Then we can make transportation arrangements to get these blood sucking parasite somalis the hell out of the country.

In yesterday's episode of the burlesque "Coming To Minnesota," neighbors of the "Quality Learing Center" were shocked to see children arriving around 2:00 p.m., about the same time the Minnesota State Government was reportedly claiming the facility had been defunded. Later in the afternoon State officials reportedly walked back those claims. No information is available on how long the children remained at the facility before their parents took them home.

The critter's open to legal action as if he's some god somewhere determining the fate of mortals. Miss us with that you fool. What needs to be talked about daily among MAGA is these cretins. They're riding Trump's coattails hoping no one notices them and the inactivity or their go-along-get-along activities. I've been saying this for years; we need to stop focusing on what the left is doing and start dragging these devils. Maybe this is why all the "conservative" shows do is tell us what the left is doing. They bear some accountability to go after those on our side who are scamming us everyday, that is, if they want us to believe they're with MAGA and not just trying to appease us. They all (critters and big conservative media) get behind something well after due time to make us think they're leading when they're patronizing us and playing politics. Does anyone here believe congress critters didn't know the State Department was a cash cow for leftist causes? You know they all know 2020 was stolen. Where were they? They knew Russia Russia was a hoax, and they know hillary is guilty as charged. They did nothing for the J-6ers, and look how long we've had obamacare, and they've done nothing about anything. They knew biden was flooding the country with illegals. They knew biden was not functioning as the president. All those hearings for years and nothing accomplished by them. We're not supposed to notice, though. It's time to expose them hourly.

The Republican and conservative bashing on this site always seems to omit Trump, as if he's not really a Republican or the lightning rod of the entire GOP. Rep. Emmer, of the Legislative Branch, does not control the Justice Department nor any of the alphabet agencies tasked with various aspects of law enforcement. Some folks may get their wish if the democrats regain the House in '26 but they may find that their Uniparty rhetoric was vastly overblown.

Would you pursue policies that would be destructive to the well-being of New Yorkers? Of course you would. The ace firefighter whom Mamdani chose is one Lillian Bonsignore, but there’s just one catch: she has never actually been a firefighter. As a news report stated, “she’s confident that won’t matter.”

There's a joy in that anticipation that cannot be described. For British author J.R.R.

The Islamic Republic of Iran is at war with the United States, and has been for a long time. Back in Nov. 2013, as negotiations continued toward what ultimately became Obama’s Iran nuke deal, Iranian political analyst Mohammad Sadeq Al-Hosseini said: “We are engaged in a fierce war with the Americans on all levels.” That war continues to this day, and the mullahs who rule the Islamic Republic have just opened a new front. IranWire reported Friday that “the Islamic Republic has launched what it calls a ‘hybrid warfare headquarters,’” and that this is a major operation, as the staff consists of over 40,000 Islamic seminary students.

At the gut level, most of our politics can be reduced to a simple question: “Whose fault is it?” Conservatives and liberals blame one another, nationalists point the finger at globalists, and for the woke left, it’s always the fault of straight white men. In the fever swamps of the internet, an age-old answer is now growing in popularity: the Jews. Indeed, in the past year or so, it has become impossible not to notice the number of influencers—led by Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes, and Candace Owens—who are aggressively pushing, with varying degrees of subtlety, what the kids call the “Jewish Question,” or JQ for short.

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.

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

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.
