COPENHAGEN, Denmark—Bea Ferdinandsen Kaas held up her phone. The traditional Greenlandic tattoos on her fingers fanned out around the image of a child: her granddaughter.
She’s fighting to be able to raise the young girl, who she says was taken from her daughter by the police and a social worker soon after her birth in early 2025.
(smip)
She choked up. Kaas—far from the granddaughter she loves—(snip).
In 2025, Denmark eliminated a controversial parenting competency test for Greenlanders in Denmark. Greenlanders had long complained that the standardized test was culturally biased, causing too many of them to lose their children to foster care.

Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., defended the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) from fraud allegations related to its funding of hate hoaxes, stating “what its donors love about the Southern Poverty Law Center is how effective it’s been.” After donors purchased a decade of race riots and left-wing violence to help Democrats, he must be right.
At a Wednesday hearing of the House Judiciary Committee, Raskin was attempting to defend the SPLC from a federal fraud indictment which showed how the organization that claims to dismantle “hate groups” actually funds them in order to manufacture hate and then fundraise even more off the chaos.

As Democrats scramble to protect the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) after it was indicted for fraud, Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., attempted to have the truth about an infamous anti-Trump hoax the SPLC peddled removed from the congressional record.
At a Wednesday hearing of the House Judiciary Committee titled “The Southern Poverty Law Center: Manufacturing Hate,” ranking member Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., launched into the heavily debunked claim that President Donald Trump praised white supremacists at a 2017 Charlottesville rally as “very fine people.” Notably, the hearing took place in light of a grand jury indictment of the SPLC that detailed its reported funding of an individual involved in planning

Aimee Bock, the convicted ringleader of the $250 million Feeding Our Future fraud scheme in Minnesota, was sentenced to more than 40 years in prison on Thursday.
The judge handed Bock a 500-month sentence and ordered her to repay nearly $243 million to the federal government.
Last year, a jury found her guilty on multiple criminal counts, including conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit federal programs bribery. Prosecutors said she orchestrated the largest pandemic fraud case in the country, which diverted tens of millions in government money meant to feed hungry children.

“The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many . . . may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” —James Madison, Federalist No. 47
Many rank-and-file Republicans and political commentators have expressed shock at the unprecedented lawfare being employed by the Democrat Party and its political allies against President Trump during his second term. Over 700 lawsuits have been filed against the Trump administration, and the number of executive orders impeded/blocked by Democrat/left-wing activist judges currently exceeds 200 (full and partial).
This is Part I of a two-part series that examines the politicization of the federal judiciary

Last night was not just your typical primary night. It was a warning shot.Trump-backed candidates racked up major wins all over the country.
Meanwhile, RINOs, anti-Trumpers, and old-guard GOPers either lost or found themselves looking a whole lot weaker. Thomas Massie lost in Kentucky after repeatedly breaking with Trump on major issues. RINO Bill Cassidy lost his primary after years of battles with MAGA voters… the list goes on. Trump-endorsed candidates all over the country had big nights.
Speaking of Cassidy, he’s now planning his lame-duck “revenge tour.”

President Trump announced on Truth Social that he is delaying further strikes against Iran pending current negotiations with Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar. According to the announcement the Gulf States are negotiating a ‘zero nuclear’ position.
This is an interesting development as the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) were previously the ones urging President Trump not to halt the military pressure campaign.
PRESIDENT TRUMP – “I have been asked by the Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, and the President of the United Arab Emirates, Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan,

Nine connected Polymarket accounts have raked in more than $2.4 million betting almost exclusively on U.S. military actions in what digital detectives from the data analytics firm Bubblemaps have identified as a potentially egregious case of insider trading.
The anonymous accounts made winning bets on the specific dates of pivotal moments in the war with Iran: the first U.S. strikes, the removal of Iran's supreme leader, and the announcement of a ceasefire.

California has this really great knack for taking a simple problem and turning it into a government-funded disaster that costs millions, helps pretty much nobody, and still gets sold back to the public as a success.The latest example of this is a state program that was supposed to help children get hearing aids. Pretty basic stuff, right? Kids need to hear, families need help, and the state claims it has a solution…
Boy, we’re they wrong.
And when you look at these shocking numbers, the whole mess feels like a full-blown money laundering scheme. Just another bloated California scam,
