Mississippi Billionaire Under PPP Fraud Investigation
Posted By: ConservativeYankee, 4/25/2026 2:21:23 PM
The richest man in Mississippi, Tom Duff, and his brother James Duff, have been under a Justice Department investigation for potentially defrauding a federal pandemic-era relief program of $6.7 million since 2024, court records show. A lawsuit filed against the brothers by Relator LLC claims the two “looted the government” by filing “falsified loan documents to the Small Business Administration in order to obtain taxpayer-funded payments through the Paycheck Protection Program.” The case will move to Mississippi after a federal judge in March granted the Duffs’ motion to transfer the case. According to the documents, the brothers applied for the loans using their tire company, the Southern Tire Mart, which is valued at

President Trump is set to feast on the “fake news” media Saturday night when he attends his first White House Correspondents’ dinner as commander-in-chief.
Despite turning down invitations to the annual event throughout his first term and last year, the president appeared to be eager for dishing out a roast, repeatedly prodding reporters at the White House this week.
“You’re such a disgrace,” he told one on Thursday. The appearance gives Trump his chance to put his mark on the dinner, after famously serving as the repeated butt of former President Barack Obama’s jokes during his 2011 routine – a skewering that is said to have solidified the billionaire’s decision to seek
The same scenario plays itself out thousands of times across the country each week, as hundreds of news outlets report on gang shootings, lootings, robberies, and rapes, alleging that “teens” are the perpetrators. The legacy news media either can’t or won’t come up with a more accurate term for reasons we need to address up front. Most (but not all) of these stories involve minority males under the age of 18. To avoid appearing racist, or to actively suppress the facts in the stories, the reporters, editors, and producers involved euphemize the alleged perpetrators by referring to them the generic “teen.” To be sure, an increasing number of juveniles involved

FORT WORTH, TEXAS — A long-time cattle rancher said Friday that President Donald Trump’s administration understands his industry and what it needs to continue producing quality beef for the American people.
Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association (TSCRA) Director Steve Sikes told Breitbart News that under past administrations, ranchers were pressured by rules that made their work more difficult, but things have since changed.
“We’ve got the EPA that is run pretty well, and in the past that was always a deterrent for ranchers because they were putting in rules that were almost impossible to cope with. They had a rule several years ago that was called the Waters of the USA.

NJ as FBI investigates possible ‘nightmare
scenario’: report 14 replies
Someone stole 15 giant agricultural drones in New Jersey — and experts fear a “nightmare scenario” if they end up in the hands of terrorists.
The fleet of Ceres Air C31 drones, which are about the size of an ATV, were ripped off March 24 by a bogus delivery driver who duped shipping and logistics company CAC International in Harrison, according to The High Side substack.
The four-armed flyers can carry and spray up to 40 gallons of liquid chemicals, such as fertilizers and pesticides, and unleash the payload over a 15-acre span in just seven minutes. The FBI is concerned the chemical-spraying drones could be used to disperse biological or chemical
The Tennessee state Legislature passed a bill Thursday that would expand the right to use deadly force to include property protection, easing a fear long held by gun owners.
The legislation, which would allow citizens to use deadly force to prevent arson, burglary, animal cruelty and robbery in certain situations, passed on party-line votes in the Republican-dominated Tennessee House of Representatives and Tennessee state Senate. Supporters of the legislation argued that law-abiding citizens should be allowed to protect their life’s work, Nashville-area TV station WKRN reported.

Cincinnati police chief Teresa Theetge was fired Thursday for ineffective leadership and failing to put more police officers on the street amid a crime surge despite the city manager begging her to do so.
Theetge, who has been in the role since 2022 but was a police officer for 35 years, was placed on administrative leave in October over her failure to bring down the city's violent crime rate.
"I recognize Chief Theetge’s more than 35 years of service to the Cincinnati Police Department and to this City." Cincinnati City Manager Sheryl Long told Fox News. "At the same time, after completing this review, it’s become
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on Friday urged real estate professionals to share neighborhood school and crime data with prospective homebuyers after websites like Redfin and Trulia stopped during the Biden administration over racial discrimination concerns.
“Buying a home is one of the most significant decisions a family will ever make,” HUD Secretary Scott Turner said in a statement. “Americans should not be left in the dark about vital facts like neighborhood safety or school quality.
“HUD is making clear that real estate professionals can openly and lawfully provide this information in an equal and consistent manner to American families.”

Should the USDA Be in Iowa or D.C.?

Washington D.C. is the capital of a vast federal bureaucracy, much of it useless, and completely out of touch with the people it rules over.
The USDA is one of the best examples. How much non-drug agriculture happens in D.C.? Not a lot.
So the Trump admin is proposing to move a bunch of USDA functions to farm country.
USDA announced on Thursday that the Food Safety and Inspection Service will move about two-thirds of its D.C. metro area workforce out of the region to relocate them to “mission-critical locations,” including new facilities in Iowa and Georgia. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said in a statement that this reorganization ensures FSIS “is positioned where
The Department of Justice on Friday directed the Bureau of Prisons to expand death penalty protocols to include pentobarbital injections and firing squads as part of broader actions to strengthen the federal death penalty. "Today, the Department of Justice acted to restore its solemn duty to seek, obtain, and implement lawful capital sentences — clearing the way for the Department to carry out executions once death-sentenced inmates have exhausted their appeals," the DOJ memo obtained by Fox News read.
"Among the actions taken are readopting the lethal injection protocol utilized during the first Trump Administration, expanding the protocol to include additional manners of execution such as the firing squad, and streamlining
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — Millions more Americans might qualify for dual Canadian citizenship under a recent change to Canada’s requirements that has led to a surge in applications from its southern neighbor.
For people like Zack Loud of Farmington, Minnesota, it was a surprise to learn that under a new law, Canada already considered him and his siblings citizens because their grandmother is Canadian.
“My wife and I were already talking about potentially looking at jobs outside the country, but citizenship pushed Canada way up on our list,” he said. Since the new law took effect on Dec. 15, immigration lawyers in the United States and Canada say they have been overwhelmed
In 1995, ‘Adam’ Hisham Hamawy testified for the defense in the trial of Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman: the Egyptian Islamic terror leader linked to the World Trade Center bombing.
Now, Hamawy is running for Congress in New Jersey while promising to defund the military, abolish ICE, and dismantle the Department of Homeland Security.
Hamawy, an Egyptian Muslim currently working as a plastic surgeon in New Jersey, has been in the news more recently for his Gaza advocacy, demanding that Israel stop its military campaign against Hamas, and in his recent interview with Hasan Piker, a Turkish social media influencer who praised the USSR and defended Hamas, the candidate accused our military of

This forecast does not look good. Archaeologists might need to locate Noah’s lost ark sooner than we think. By 2085, over a third of all land animals’ habitats could be adversely impacted by extreme weather events such as fires and floods, should temperatures continue to surge worldwide, per an alarming study in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution. If we don’t reverse course, this “Day After Tomorrow”-esque confluence of events could potentially expedite extinctions.

A Virginia state senator told colleagues he understands rural America because he grew up watching “The Dukes of Hazzard.”
Democratic state Sen. Lamont Bagby made the claim during a floor debate on the state’s gerrymandering amendment, according to video posted by WJLA reporter Nick Minock. Bagby pushed back on Republicans who argued Democrats have no grasp of rural life.
“I grew up watching the Waltons. I grew up with Opie. I even watched the Dukes of Hazzard. I think I know a little bit about rural America,” Bagby said, apparently referencing “The Waltons” and “The Andy Griffith Show” alongside the hit CBS series. He then rattled off characters from

An Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson said Friday that the upcoming talks between their government and the United States will be facilitated by Pakistan and therefore, they will not have direct peace negotiations with the Trump administration.
President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and special envoy Steve Witkoff are expected to head to Islamabad, Pakistan, this weekend for the next round of peace talks at Iran's request.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei said Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi will meet with Pakistani officials as part of its efforts to end the "American imposed war of aggression and the restitution of peace in our region."

Once upon a time, stealing from others was considered wrong. Punto, finis, basta. Most elementary school kids were able to master it.
Today, petty theft is not only rampant, owing to the reign of Soros district attorneys who don't prosecute crime, it's being celebrated by the rich, radical chic elites.
The New York Post presents this charmer from the breed:
A longtime staff writer for the New Yorker known for bashing capitalism bragged that she has stolen from her local Whole Foods “on several occasions” in a New York Times podcast. Jia Tolentino, 37, made the shocking admission while joining left-wing streamer Hasan Piker and Times’ opinion culture editor Nadja Spiegelman
