The U.S. Small Business Administration referred 562,000 suspected fraudulent loans totaling over $22.2 billion to the U.S. Department of Treasury for collections.
"From Day One, the Trump SBA has worked tirelessly to crack down on billions in pandemic-era fraud that the Biden Administration forgave or ignored," SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler told Fox News Digital in a statement.
"After extensive review, and with the strong support of the White House Anti-Fraud Task Force, we are taking our most decisive action yet to end a Biden-era scheme that protected over 560,000 borrowers tied to more than $22 billion in suspected pandemic-era fraud," Loeffler added.

Smoke has filled the air across parts of the Peach State this week as wildfires continue to burn out of control in southern Georgia, forcing evacuations and destroying homes.
According to the Georgia Forestry Commission, crews responded to 34 new wildfires Wednesday that burned about 75 acres statewide. But officials say the biggest concern remains two large, active fires that have already scorched tens of thousands of acres.

The NYPD has made an arrest after this weekend's fiery and chaotic car meetup in Queens.
It took place around 2 a.m. Saturday at the intersection of Eliot Avenue and 69th Street in Maspeth.
Video from the scene showed cars with revving engines, spinning around and tires screeching. Participants set a ring of fire alight in the street.

President Trump called out two members of the establishment, one a so-called Republican and the other a Democrat. His first target was Chief Justice Roberts, who is either unwilling or unable to stop leakers inside the Supreme Court from wreaking havoc. They are leaking sensitive information to the press and creating chaos.
Everyone remembers what happened before the Roe v. Wade ruling, when a major leak triggered outrage just ahead of the midterms and helped energize an otherwise bored and disinterested Democratic base.Ironically, they never found that leaker, and now it appears others inside the Court are working to stir up even more division.
When news broke in 2025 that the Biden-era FBI spied on eight Republican senators’ personal cell phone information, all hell should have broken loose. Instead, in classic corporate media fashion, the bombshell dubbed “100 times worse than Watergate” by Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., was subject to a blackout by the biggest publications.
As new records released by U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley on Tuesday reveal, it was not an “isolated incident” that could be swept under the rug forever. “Arctic Frost” was the culmination of years of political weaponization against President Donald Trump, his allies, and his voters.

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
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

NJ as FBI investigates possible ‘nightmare
scenario’: report 15 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

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
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

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.

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."

Nearly four years after the home of Catholic father of seven and pro-life activist Mark Houck was arrested at gunpoint, he and his wife won a settlement of more than $1 million from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ).

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
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
