House Democrats spent years selling Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) as the competent, sensible Midwesterner the party needed. A bombshell House Oversight Committee report released Monday tells a different story. The report, titled "The Cost of Doing Nothing: How Tim Walz and Keith Ellison Fueled Minnesota's Fraud Explosion," concludes that Walz and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison were aware of credible, systemic fraud in federally funded social programs as early as 2019 and did nothing. Their reasons for inaction weren't legal barriers. They were fear of lawsuits, fear of being called racist, and fear of upsetting the politically active Somali community in Minneapolis, a constituency both men depend on politically.

One man sits at the top of a short escalator, surrounded by trash; he offers a running, often threatening commentary about the end times. If asked to move, he screams. Sometimes he just screams. In the main plaza, a drug addict in tatters reels across the floor, accosting anyone who slows down — the New Jersey riders, the business travelers, the tourists. [snip]That’s what happened Sunday night, when a mentally ill man pulled a knife and stabbed and slashed five people. The tragedy that homeless advocates claim never happens happened again. How many stories have you read recently about the mentally ill pushing people onto subway tracks?

The bottom of the box office barrel for Star Wars is unquestionably Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018), which petered out with a $214 million domestic gross and a $179 million overseas gross, for a global total of $393 million. That’s catastrophic math for any blockbuster. For a Star Wars movie, it revealed a major disturbance in the force, and that disturbance went by the name of Kathleen “The Force Is Female” Kennedy. Remember, Solo is a movie that told fans that the legendary Lando Calrissian would be revealed as a robot-humping “pansexual.” I don’t know what a pansexual is. I don’t want to know what a pansexual is.

Democrats have apparently decided that tonight is a good night for riots in Newark. That's the only conclusion one can reach after Newark Mayor Ras Baraka announced that Newark police would no longer be providing security for the Delaney Hall ICE facility, saying it was not their responsibility to maintain order on city property outside the facility. He believes that private security should do the job. I'm not kidding. That is what he said. Baraka said that as increased tensions led to "unnecessary confrontation" with state troopers, the city stepped in and successfully brought calm “without the use of force, tear gas or aggressive policing."

As Americans paying attention—that would include American Thinker readers—know, the media has cherished narratives it defends with mama bear fierceness. Among those narratives is the existence of wide-spread islamophobia. When Islamists attack Jews and others on college campuses, the media wails about the dangers of islamophobia. And when people with Muslim names are attacked, the same wailing rises to mosque tops. Such a horrific hate crime recently took place in Minneapolis, where a Muslim was murdered—oh, the humanity!--[snip] surely a white guy and probably a Jew!—killing an innocent Muslim, and on a Muslim holy day to boot!

Vandals sabotaged generators at an event for President Trump’s Freedom 250 event, according to a spokeswoman — and fuel leached into underground water tanks, contaminating them. A generator fuel line set up for temporary lights for a May 17 event was was cut, causing it to seep into underground cisterns that collect rainwater under the Washington, DC, landmark, Freedom 250 spokeswoman Rachel Reisner told NBC News. “Following the Freedom 250 team’s installation of temporary lighting on the National Mall, our equipment has been repeatedly targeted by vandals. The recent fuel leak was the direct result of that tampering,” she said.

Who could have guessed that yet another candidate that Zohran Mamdani endorsed—this time in a Congressional primary to take out a prominent New York Congressman who is the leader of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus—is a communist? Not me. PolitiFact assured me in a fact-check that Mamdani, despite all his statements and social media posts, is not a communist because his campaign website failed to use that word! [snip] She is, unsurprisingly, a far-leftist who works for the public defender's office and is steeped in all the trendy DSA/Communist ideology of defunding the police, seizing private property, and, of course, wiping Israel off the map.

The devastated daughter of the Atlanta train passenger viciously slaughtered by an alleged homeless maniac in a random attack ​ripped local officials​ Monday for opening the transit system to free riders​ — and then failing to properly police ​its stations. Margaret Swan, ​a 66-year-old great-grandmother, had her throat slashed and then was stabbed 18 to 20 times on the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority by the knife-wielding madman in an unprovoked attack Saturday morning, cops said. Shanae Sams​, Swan’s daughter, told The Post that glaring security gaps, lax policing and a temporary free-fare policy on MARTA paved the way for the heinous daylight killing. “

Karmelo Anthony, the Texas student athlete who was charged with stabbing a football star from a rival high school to death — and then raised $600,000 in donations — is set to face trial this week. The killing of Austin Metcalf — who died in his twin brother’s arms in Frisco, Texas, at a track meet in April 2025 — sparked an outpouring of grief.[snip] The suspect, Anthony, retained a big-name Dallas lawyer, and the family started raising money from donation site GiveSendGo. A family spokesman said last year that the money would go to “Stand with us in the fight against white supremacy.”

On May 29, 2026, in Modesto, California, Joaquin Escoto, 28, a Mexican national and illegal immigrant, was arrested and charged with three counts of murder. He allegedly stabbed to death Fabiola Gonzalez, 23, a devoted mother, her own mother, and loving grandmother Silvia Nuñez, 54, and Fabiola’s 2-week-old infant son, Mateo Gonzalez. A surviving child of approximately 4 years old was found in the home and taken into custody by Child Protective Services. [snip] But San Joaquin law enforcement officials hogtied by California’s contested sanctuary law failed to notify the feds, and Escoto was set free, the official said.
