- Somali-Gate: How is MSM treating this widening fraud scandal in Tim Walz-Minnesota?
- Was it a “LEARING EXPERIENCE?”
- Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s office is pushing back against fraud allegations after a viral video showed visits to multiple childcare centers in the state, including one that allegedly received millions of dollars in state funding despite appearing largely inactive.
- Responding to questions about the allegations and the video posted by independent journalist Nick Shirley, a spokesperson for the governor told Fox News that Walz has spent years working to "crack down on fraud" and has taken steps to strengthen oversight of state programs, including initiating investigationsinto several facilities.
- "The governor hasworked for years to crack down on fraud and ask the state legislature for more authority to take aggressive action," the spokesperson said. "He has strengthened oversight — including launching investigations into these specific facilities, one of which was already closed." (Fox News)
- Independent journalist, Nick Shirley might have ended Tampon-Tim’s political career!
- A 42-minute video by Shirley, posted Friday on X and YouTube, documenting visits to several daycare centers in the blue state, including a location on Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis.
- In the video, Shirley and another man are seen at what appears to be a largely inactive childcare facility. The building also displays a misspelled sign reading"Quality Learing Center," even though the center is reportedly supposed to account for 99 children and received roughly $4 million in state funds.
- How is Marxist State Media treating Somali-Gate? The scandal widens, but the coverage is missing from their airwaves?

Segment Topic:
- Christian genocide in Nigeria; fake news?
- According to MS Now panelist, Morgan State University professor Dr. Jason Johnson appeared on MS NOW's "The Weekend," where he suggested that the Trump administration's strike on terror targets in Nigeria was racially motivated. (Yahoo News)
- During an appearance on MS NOW's "The Weekend," Johnson told host Eugene Daniels the administration's logic behind the strikes doesn't make sense, questioning why President Donald Trumpwould care about African countries he once disparaged. (Fox News)
- Christians being protected by the strike are black Christians!
- But the BBC has found that some of the data being relied on to come to this conclusion are difficult to verify.
- In September, popular television host and comedian Bill Maher upped the ante describing what was happening as a "genocide".
- Referring to the Boko Haram group, he said "they have killed over 100,000 since 2009, they've burned 18,000 churches".
- Similar figures have also been gaining traction on social media.
- The government in Abuja has pushed back on these claims describing them as "a gross misrepresentation of reality".
- It did not deny that there was deadly violence in the country. But officials said that "terrorists attack all who reject their murderous ideology - Muslims, Christians and those of no faith alike".
- Other groups monitoring political violence in Nigeria say the number of Christians who have been killed is far lower, and say most victims of the jihadist groups are Muslims. (BBC World)
- BBC says Christian genocide in Nigeria is “FAKE NEWS.”
- Former Vice President Kamala Harris suggested that it is sexist to mock her distinctive cackle, explaining on a recent podcast how America has "out-of-touch standards" placed on women.
- "I don’t aspire to be humble," Harris added.
- During Harris' appearance on the "Rich Little Broke Girls" podcast, she also gave dating advice to young single women, highlighting the importance of finding someone who is kind and makes them laugh.
Kamala Harris providing young women with dating advice is like putting Hunter Biden in charge of ATF!

Segment Topic:
- Rudy Giuliani Was Right but the Damage Was Done!
- Rudy Giuliani kept his integrity. He never wavered under pressure. And he was right. Trump won in 2020.
President Trump has begun sharing court testimony under oath by computer experts Ben Cotton and Clay Parikh on offshore vote changing which if proven true would shake the United States to its core!
- History is not merely tardy in dispensing justice, it is derelict. Vindication arrives only after reputations have been immolated, livelihoods obliterated, and the human spirit subjected to sustained institutional cruelty and destruction. Such was the deliberate fate imposed upon Rudy Giuliani in the aftermath of the 2020 election.
- Recent reports concerning Fulton County Georgia have intensified scrutiny of the administration of the 2020 presidential election there, exposing procedural lapses that fanned long-standing allegations of impropriety. In a December 9, 2025 hearing before the Georgia State Election Board, County officials admitted that they certified approximately 315,000 early ballots without the required poll-worker signatures on tabulator tapes, a clear violation of Georgia law and an egregious breach in the chain of custody that observers use to verify ballot counts and authenticity. (Roger Stone/Stone Cold Truth: 12/26/25)
- What about the lives and reputations of those who were ruined because they spoke out against what occurred back in 2020?
- If these allegations are proven; does Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, Mike Lindell and others, receive their reputations back, but most of all, who pays them reparations?
What about those who were denied office due to this fraud? How do you repair this damage?

Segment Topic:
- Fulton County elections officials admits 315,000 votes weren’t signed by poll workers! (WSB-Atlanta)
- “Trump and codefendants seek fees after Fani Willis case implodes!” (Washington Examiner/Kaelan Deese)
- A Georgia State-Senate Committee questions Fani and her answers appear to suggest that she is playing (what else) the race card.
- Fani calls Trump and his associates, criminals. Is that libel?
- President Donald Trumpand several former codefendants from the collapsed Fulton County, Georgia, 2020 election racketeering case are preparing to pursue millions of dollars in legal reimbursements, arguing that the prosecution never should have been brought and that its failure demands accountability in the upcoming year.
- The effort is expected to unfold under a new Georgiastatute passed by Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, which allows defendants to recover “all reasonable attorney’s fees and costs” when a prosecutor is disqualified for improper conduct, and the case is later dismissed — a provision enacted with the Trump prosecution squarely in mind.
- Kaelan, do you detect any strain in the relationship between President Trump and AG Bondi?
- The calls for her ouster are getting louder by the day. Will she survive?

Segment Topic:
- President Donald Trumpsaid Sunday that peace talks to end the war in Ukraine are close to completion after a meeting in Florida with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, with both leaders citing major progress on a 20-point plan while acknowledging unresolved disputes over territory, ceasefire terms and Ukrainian approval.
- What does the 20-point peace plan contain?
- What will happen to the Donbas Region?
- Trump and Zelenskyy spoke to reporters following their meeting at Mar-a-Lago, describing weeks of negotiations involving U.S., Ukrainian, European Union and NATO officials that have moved a potential peace framework close to the finish line, though several high-stakes issues remain unresolved.
- Trump said negotiations have intensified over the past month and suggested discussions are far more advanced than at any previous point in the war, while cautioning that final agreements depend on resolving a small number of difficult questions. (Fox News)
- Colonel Douglas Macgregor NATO AND EUROPE ARE DOOMED (IVAN8848/X)
- The divorce is not finalized, however there is a trial separation between the U.S. and the EU:
- Addressing his party on 14th December, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz made headlines with remarksunprecedented in postwar Europe.
- "Dear friends, the decades of Pax Americana are largely over for us in Europe, and for us in Germany as well. It no longer exists as we know it. And nostalgia won't change that. The Americans are now very, very ruthlessly pursuing their own interests. And this cannot have a different answer than that it is time that we also pursue our own interests. And dear friends, here we are not weak, we are not small."
- Pax Americana, the US-led security order that has come to define American and European partnerships since the end of the Second World War, is now being openly questioned. Indeed, Merz has crossed a line that few European leaders have even contemplated since the Cold War - triggered by the shock generated by the new US National Security Strategy (NSS), issuedearlier this month.
- Is President Trump’s life in serious danger and why is the Secret Service continuing to put his life in danger?
- The Secret Service continues to endanger the president’s life with lax security, and the government is sitting on information that might expose recent failures which allowed President Trump to get shouted down by Code Pink protestersduring a recent outing to a Washington DC restaurant, advocates fear.
- “I’m just really concerned about the president’s safety,” Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch told The Post.
- “He was almost killed twice supposedly under the protection of the Secret Service and then they walked him into a potentially dangerous ambush,” he said of the September incident at Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab.
- Hamas builds new terror regime in Gaza, recruiting teens amid problematic election!
- Isn’t this what Hamas wanted?
- Khalil al-Hayya and Khaled Mashaal are radical contenders to lead Hamas following deaths of Haniyeh and Sinwar.
- Hamas is rebuilding a new Gaza terror apparatus and using the ceasefire with Israel to boost its military, restore a problematic leadership structure and recruit a new generation of teenage fighters, according to a leading national security analyst.
- Professor Kobi Michael, a senior researcher at the Institute for National Security Studies and the Misgav Institute, told Fox News Digital that the pause in fighting has given Hamas breathing room to regroup.
- "Everything that is happening will continue happening as long as Hamas continues to effectively control the western part of the Gaza Strip," Michael said. (Fox News)
- Natanyahu wants Trump to commit more money and arms for another incursion into Gaza, however; isn’t it time that neighboring Arab countries start to carry some of the load?
- Addressing his party on 14th December, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz made headlines with remarksunprecedented in postwar Europe.
Should we take Iran’s latest threats seriously and what should Trump do?
