This is what anti-fraud action looks like

Another day, another report of massive fraud against taxpayers. Team Trump revealed on Friday that it’s found $8.6 billion in shady COVID-era loans in the Golden State — and is acting to blunt the damage. This, just two days after White House announced that JD Vance will chair a task force to clean up fraud-riddled California. Kudos to the White House for pushing hard to reveal, stop and punish fraud in a state with few controls on public spending. Vice President Vance and Co. should keep pushing, digging and holding perpetrators accountable; taxpayers deserve no less.

On Monday, police announced they’d collected hazardous biological material that sent a cleaning lady to the hospital from a Las Vegas residence, reports National Review’s Jim Geraghty. The residence’s owner, Jia Bei Zhu, “is a Chinese citizen who was indicted” for selling unapproved COVID test kits. But Zhu apparently had also operated other biolabs containing transgenic mice and pathogens, and engaged in “unknown pathogen-related activity” while receiving “unexplained payments” from China. “Clearly, he wasn’t just running a scam” to sell Chinese test kits. And it’s “hard to believe” no one in China’s government “had any idea what Jia Bei Zhu was doing with his biolab”:

Get ready for Congress to waste its time fighting over the SAVE Act, with both sides pretending it would do far more evil or good than makes any sense at all. Don’t get us wrong: Requiring photo ID to vote is a no-brainer, the rule around the world from Albania to Zambia — but it wouldn’t actually be a major factor in cleaning up US elections. Of course Democrats are absurd in pretending it’s Jim Crow 2.0 (a line they used in denouncing a Georgia law that led to increased minority turnout), as evil as pre-1965 literacy tests or poll taxes. Hogwash! Participating in society —

As year two of the Trump 2.0 presidency begins, President Trump faces a pivotal decision on Iran: pursue a grand bargain with the Iranian regime through negotiations or leverage military might to undermine the regime and bolster efforts by the Iranian people to oust their murderous government. Iran’s domestic upheaval presents both risks and opportunities for U.S. policy. Protests that erupted in late December 2025 over economic woes, inflation, and governance failures have spread to all 31 provinces, even loyalist strongholds, marking the regime’s weakest moment since 1979. Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s regime responded with a deadly crackdown, including mass arrests and executions.

President Trump launched his TrumpRx website on Thursday, vowing Americans would “save a fortune” from cheaper drug prices on everything from Ozempic to fertility treatments. “This is a very big deal. People are going to save a lot of money and be healthy,” Trump declared at an event announcing the new program. Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, was at the launch and boasted that “America will lose about 100 million pounds this year” from cheaper GLP-1s drugs.

Mayor Karen Bass claims that she did not edit the LAFD’s after-action report on the Palisades Fire to shield the department and the city from responsibility. She admits, however, that she told the authors to check information about weather and budgets. That sounds like it might have been benign — until you consider that weather and budgets are at the core of what went wrong last January.The National Weather Service predicted an extreme high wind event, with life-threatening winds, days before January 7. The mayor knew about these predictions and left the country anyway. Ultimately,

In my meandering imagination, I was a liberal, yearning to join the anti-ICE peaceful protest in Minneapolis and trying to figure out how I would let our government know how strenuously I object to their policy of deporting illegal aliens. I summoned up an article I had read by the esteemed Daniel Greenfield in which he spelled out in vivid detail the exact kinds of people I would be supporting, defending, and advocating for, all who had been charged with or convicted of the following crimes:

Hamas terrorist Muhammad Issam Hassan al-Habil, who, according to the Israel Defense Forces, killed 19-year-old surveillance soldier Corporal Noa Marciano while she was held hostage in Gaza, is no longer with us, the IDF reported Wednesday. The Hamas cell commander was eliminated in an airstrike in Gaza City’s Shati refugee camp, they announced. The IDF alleged that the savagely violent group violated the fragile ceasefire negotiated by the Trump administration, and that this was the consequence. So long:

Experts are warning that a new social media platform launched on January 28 exclusively for artificial intelligence bots is “a security nightmare.” Modeled after Reddit, “Moltbook” allows autonomous AI “agents” to post, comment, upvote, and interact with each other in real time. AI agents are intelligent digital workers that actively perform tasks on behalf of users or organizations. The platform was created by entrepreneur Matt Schlicht, who used his own AI agent, Clawd Clawderberg, to manage and run the site. The AI agents on Moltbook are primarily powered by OpenClaw (formerly Moltbot/Clawdbot), an open-source, locally-run AI system developed by Austrian developer Peter Steinberger.

Las Vegas Police and the FBI raided a illegal Chinese biological lab running out of a Las Vegas home on January 31, collecting more than 1,000 samples. Several people allegedly became sick after being exposed to the laboratory in the home’s garage, 8 News Now reported. “Initial search of the residence on Sugar Springs identified a bio-safety hood, a bio-safety sticker, a centrifuge, multiple refrigerators, red-brown unknown liquids in gallon-sized containers and refrigerated vials with unknown liquids,” said Christopher Delzotto, FBI Special Agent in Charge at the Las Vegas office.
An Obamacare Relic That Needs to Go 7 replies

The prevailing wisdom in Washington is that Republicans are all bark and no bite when it comes to channeling their disdain of Obamacare into action. The truth is, the GOP actually has a pretty good story to tell. It’s not often that you hear Republicans discuss what they’ve done to prevent some of Obamacare’s most harmful provisions from coming to life, but GOP lawmakers have quietly chipped away at the law for years. During President Trump’s first term, Republicans eliminated Obamacare’s individual mandate, repealed its “Cadillac tax,” terminated the law’s Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB), and axed its medical device tax.

Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of NBC’s “Today” show anchor Savannah Guthrie, has been reported missing, and law enforcement described the scene they encountered at her Arizona home as “very concerning.” Homicide detectives were sent in, which is not standard practice in a missing person case, and Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said that the house is a crime scene. There were volunteers, search-and-rescue teams, dogs, Border Patrol agents, and helicopters deployed in the search on Sunday. They have now been sent home to rest. “We will call them in again if we need them, but right now we don’t see this as a search mission, but a crime scene,” Nanos said.

Friday on MS NOW’s “The Weeknight,” Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) argued Republicans would vote for her in the general election for U.S. Senate. Co-host Michael Steele said, “Do you think Republicans, when you get to a general election, can be convinced that you are the representative they need in Washington?” Crockett said, “Oh, absolutely.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is using his Muslim faith to justify his views on immigration enforcement and wants America to follow suit. Mamdani held a press conference on Friday to speak about ICE and immigration policy in the United States. As TGP readers know, Madani has vowed not to cooperate with the Trump Administration on getting rid of criminal illegal aliens in the Big Apple. At one point in the press conference, Mamdani cited Islam to push an open borders agenda. He claimed Islam was built on a narrative of migration and noted that Muhammad was once a stranger too.

A Washington state mother captured on video the moment she confronted her 16-year-old son, who ditched class to join an anti-ICE protest, and his refusal to get into her vehicle, claiming that the protest was school-sanctioned. The video, which has gone viral on social media, shows the frustrated mom, Rachel, pulling up to the protest site and ordering her son to get in the car, only for him to refuse, insisting it’s his “right” because the school permitted it. In the footage, the mother can be heard saying, “You’re not skipping school for this (expletive). Get in the car.” Her son retorts, “No, it is my right,” before walking away.

The Left is beginning to panic about Tulsi Gabbard's investigation into the massive election fraud in 2020. They have good reason to. For the first time since then, I actually have hope that the fraud will be exposed for all to see. I would say that the evidence produced will be undeniable, but the left will always deny what they find inconvenient. But still, by the time Gabbard is done, a lot more people will believe what has been pretty obvious for a long time:

Mike Pence is siding with wealthy donors over victims of the East Palestine, Ohio, rail disaster, earning a cacophony of outrage from conservatives and prominent MAGA voices. Pence, who like Democrats reflexively opposes Trump on issue after issue as he woos establishment corporate donors to enrich himself through his non-profit and stake a claim in the narrowing establishment lane for the 2028 Republican nomination, is fighting a bill first championed by then-Ohio Sen. JD Vance — and Pence’s likely 2028 primary opponent — to implement safety regulations for trains carrying hazardous materials. Those regulations could have prevented the toxic spill that upended the lives of thousands in the East Palestine area

Gen Z, this will smart. The generation born between 1997 and 2010 is the very first generation who did worse in school than the generation before them, according to a top neuroscientist. And shockingly, they are proud of it. “They’re the first generation in modern history to score lower on standardized academic tests than the one before it,” Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath, 43, told The Post. “And to make matters worse, most of these young people are overconfident about how smart they are. The smarter people think they are, the dumber they actually are. “They underperformed on basically every cognitive measure, from basic attention, memory, literacy, numeracy, executive function and general IQ.”

Democratic Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley brushed off a question Wednesday about how her wealth jumped to as much as $8 million after initially entering Congress with a negative net worth. Pressley entered Congress after upsetting incumbent Democrat Rep. Michael Capuano of Massachusetts in a 2018 primary election, according to Ballotpedia, and her initial financial disclosure led some to conclude her net worth was in the negatives. Fox Business reporter Chad Pergram questioned Pressley after her financial disclosure for 2024 indicated a net worth of as much as $8 million, due to multiple rental properties in Massachusetts and Ft.
