The Trump administration announced it is pausing all childcare payments to Minnesota in light of explosive revelations about Somali-saturated fraud rings siphoning billions from federal welfare programs.

Industry researchers have known and lied about this for decades. Yes, that makes them frauds too, and their mark -- is there any other mark on the planet? -- the endlessly spigoted American taxpayer.

Adult Day Care Centers As Medicaid Fraud
Concerns Mount 10 replies
Just four of the locations have received nearly $7 million in combined taxpayer funds since 2020. Prompted by a flood of tips from readers about facilities that tipsters say do not appear to be providing services, Alpha News reporters Liz Collin and Jenna Gloeb visited more than a dozen autism centers and adult daycare businesses across the Twin Cities during posted business hours on Monday, Dec. 15. No children were observed at any of the autism centers visited. Only a few workers and a small number of elderly women were seen at the adult day care facilities. Many of the locations seemed empty.

Arabella Advisors, a for-profit company that managed services for many influential dark money nonprofits on the left is no more -- or so it seems. Sunflower Services, a new public benefit corporation, announced on Monday that it will be acquiring "Arabella Advisors' fiscal sponsorship servicing business." Meanwhile, Arabella's former CEO, Himesh Bhise, announced he would lead a supposedly new company, Vital Impact.
Daycare centers that receive hundreds of thousands in taxpayer subsidies did not appear to have any children when The Center Square visited the facilities this week and were either openly hostile or told journalists that they were hoping to have children in their care, but did not have an application available or anyone to talk with about enrolling a child. The focus on Washington's taxpayer subsidized daycares comes at the time federal authorities are conducting what they call a "massive" investigation into Somali-run facilities in Washington.
Former Special Counsel Jack Smith told the House Judiciary Committee in a closed-door deposition earlier this month that he did not believe the testimony of former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson (snip.) The House Judiciary Committee subpoenaed Smith for the testimony earlier this month, which took place on Dec. 17.

Smith said (snip) that he would have moved to prohibit her testimony from being used if he cross-examined her in court (snip.)

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.)
The Justice Department is buried in about 5.2 million pages of documents potentially related to notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein -- and it might take until late January to complete the review. The latest figure, reported by the New York Times on Tuesday, indicates the task before DOJ is even more daunting than the department signaled it would be last week, when it revealed "over a million" pages of possible Epstein files material had been uncovered by the Manhattan U.S. attorney's office.
California residents will be impacted by more than 900 new laws effective January 1, 2026. Because we need 900 new laws in the leading regulatory hell state in the nation. Because the cost of living in California is so high, Democrat lawmakers think increasing the minimum wage to $16.90 per hour will help hourly workers afford a median-priced $900,000 home. Even if that hourly-worker put in a full-time year, they will only make $35,152, which is less than $3,000 monthly, which barely covers the cost of a studio apartment.

Thursday on CNN’s “The Lead,” network medical analyst Jonathan Reiner said he was very concerned the public is not being told “anything meaningful” about President Donald Trump’s health issues.
Host Phil Mattingly said, “Just last month, you said you were seriously concerned about the president’s health. What’s your level of concern after hearing from the president? He says he’s in perfect health.”
Reiner said, “Well, I’m mostly concerned that the public really hasn’t been told essentially anything meaningful about the president’s health here. So let’s turn the clock back and look what’s gone on over the last nine months. The president had a physical exam, a comprehensive physical exam
Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) said it succinctly on Wednesday, commenting on the news that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani intended to be sworn in on the Qur’an: “The enemy is inside the gates.” Newsmax reported Thursday that in saying this, Tuberville had “ignited a fresh political firestorm.” It was just over two weeks ago that he ignited the last one, writing that “Islam is not a religion. It's a cult. Islamists aren't here to assimilate. They're here to conquer. Stop worrying about offending the pearl clutchers. We've got to SEND THEM HOME NOW or we'll become the United Caliphate of America.” According to Newsmax, Mamdani’s use of the Qur’an

French actor George Clooney struck back at President Donald Trump’s snide remarks about him and urged Americans to kick Republicans out of office in the coming 2026 midterm elections.
Clooney had attacked President Trump in an interview with Variety released on Monday, and the president responded in no uncertain terms, trolling Clooney for his many “mediocre” movies and celebrating the fact that Clooney is now a citizen of France and has let the U.S.A.
Trump reported the “good news” on New Year’s Eve on his Truth Social account calling Clooney and his wife, Amal, ” two of the worst political prognosticators of all time.”
WASHINGTON ‒ President Donald Trump addressed mysterious bruises on his hand as he dismissed concerns about his health in a new interview, attributing the noticeable discoloring to his heavy aspirin intake.
The 79-year-old Trump, the oldest president to ever take office, also denied falling asleep at meetings, explained why he doesn't exercise and said he underwent a CT scan, not an MRI as he previously claimed, in a defiant interview with the Wall Street Journal on his health.
"My health is perfect," he told the newspaper.
Here are five takeaways from what the Journal described as an "impromptu phone interview" that came after the newspaper shared
Independent journalist Nick Shirley says he has received death threats and harassment — including phone calls to his family — after releasing a viral video alleging fraud at Minnesota daycare centers.
Shirley described the threats during a Dec. 31 appearance on the PBD Podcast, and said he was warned he would be "Kirked," a reference to the September assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
The backlash against the YouTuber follows his investigation into several publicly funded Minnesota daycare centers.
Shirley claimed the centers appeared largely empty despite receiving substantial state payments.
Seattle's new socialist mayor pledged to 'stand with Somali health childcare providers' as she took a shot at Donald Trump during her inauguration.
Katie Wilson, 43, has drawn scrutiny for openly taking money from her parents to fund her life, and for her so-called 'communist' plans to remake the Emerald City.
In her first major speech in office, she acknowledged Trump's criticism of her campaign.
'I've been noticed by the president of the United States, who called me a "very, very liberal/communist mayor." It's nice to feel seen,' she said to laughs from the crowd.
Wilson has also taken shots at Trump and the Republican Party for going after

While Ohio taxpayers are being told to accept daycare fraud as merely “the cost of doing business,” a stunning new report has surfaced that raises serious questions about who has been operating inside the state’s taxpayer-funded welfare ecosystem and how far those connections now extend onto the global stage.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, RINO Ohio Governor Mike DeWine’s office has brushed off mounting concerns over potential large-scale fraud in taxpayer-funded daycare centers—particularly in Columbus, home to the second-largest Somali population in the United States—as merely “the cost of doing business,” even after two independent journalists uncovered disturbing evidence of potential ghost daycare operations in Columbus, Ohio.

Once inside, the raccoon ransacked the store, leaving a trail of broken bottles... (Snip) ...and apparently consuming a large quantity of booze before passing out in the bathroom next to the toilet.

Mamdani Goes Full Antisemite on Day One

Is it even worth saying “We told you so” at this point? There’s really no satisfaction about being right about Zohran Mamdani, and now we all have to sit and watch him not only destroy New York City but also turn it into a haven for antisemitism.
On day one of his administration, Mamdani tossed Jewish safety concerns straight into the trash. Within hours of taking office, he revoked several executive orders Eric Adams had put in place to protect the city's Jewish community and support Israel.
If you're wondering whether New York City will remain safe for Jews, Mamdani just answered that question, and the answer isn't reassuring.

A property at which hundreds of thousands of public dollars are spent for a public purpose is a public facility subject to accountability for the use of those funds. That's a basic principle of a free society.
