🇺🇸 TRUMP: "I’M IN PERFECT HEALTH"
"The White House Doctors have just reported that I am in ‘PERFECT HEALTH,’ and that I ‘ACED’ (Meaning, was correct on 100% of the questions asked!), for the third straight time, my Cognitive Examination, something which no other President, or previous Vice President, was willing to take.
P.S., I strongly believe that anyone running for President, or Vice President, should be mandatorily forced to take a strong, meaningful, and proven Cognitive Examination.
Our great Country cannot be run by ‘STUPID’ or INCOMPETENT PEOPLE!”

🇺🇸🇮🇷 WAIT… DID TRUMP JUST THREATEN TO INVADE IRAN?!
This isn’t just tough talk.
Trump just warned Iran that a violent crackdown on protesters could trigger a military response.
“If Iran shots and violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue.
We are locked and loaded and ready to go.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
President DONALD J.TRUMP”
That’s brand new territory… and it breaks with decades of global precedent.
Even at the height of the Cold War, internal repression was condemned, sanctioned, even armed indirectly, but rarely, if ever, did a U.S. leader threaten direct military retaliation over how a regime treats its own people.
Not with Soviet crackdowns in Hungary or Prague.
Not with China in Tiananmen.
Not with Assad in 2011.
Not with Iran during the Green Movement.
Not even during the Arab Spring.
The traditional rule? Foreign military force is for external aggression - nukes, invasions, terrorism - not internal dissent.
Trump’s statement subtly but clearly redraws that line.
It reframes protest suppression as not just a “human rights issue,” but a potential trigger for force.
That shift carries massive weight - not just for Iran, but for every regime calculating how far they can go behind their own borders.
Sovereignty used to mean safety.
Now? Maybe not.

You are not a failure if you keep trying.
When you are not an heir, you have no one to count on, there is your family who is counting on you.
You, brothers and sisters, are also counting on you.
If you have a problem, it's up to you to solve it with all this charge that is shooting you in the back.
It's really hard this life to be the eldest of a family without any support.
Despite this, we will continue to fight.
Either you succeed and then make everyone happy, or you die trying to succeed.
At least we will have tried to do everything in our power.
The rest is left in the hands of the creator of the world.
🇷🇺🇺🇦 "BOTH SIDES WILL NOT HESITATE TO LIE... TRUTH OF PUTIN ATTACK DOESN'T MATTER"
Colonel Daniel Davis dismisses the CIA's claim that Ukrainian drones targeted a military base instead of Putin's residence, arguing all sides routinely lie and what matters is how Russia uses this to justify retaliation.
Russia claims targeting data from shot-down drones confirms they were heading to Putin's residence. Ukraine and CIA deny it.
Nobody can say with authority what's true.
"Every side in this war will not hesitate to use disinformation or misinformation or outright lie to make themselves look good or to justify some other thing they're gonna do.
Whether it's true or not, that's almost irrelevant.
What is very much relevant is what the Russians are doing with this information, which is bolstering support on their side.
Lavrov specifically said there would be a retaliation." https://blossom.primal.net/8443c1e8bbddfbad63d7d23c8a39f7fd51bb08ad902deb2352a87031af7431b6.mp4
🇺🇸 SOMALI DAYCARE OWNER PICKS WORST POSSIBLE TIME TO RUN FOR MINNESOTA LEGISLATURE
Talk about reading the room.
A Somali-born daycare owner just announced he's running for Minnesota legislature right as his community and industry are drowning in a $9 billion fraud scandal.
Abdi Daisane isn't accused of anything himself, but his timing is spectacularly bad.
He announced his 2026 campaign on Christmas Eve while FBI Director Kash Patel was threatening to deport Somali scammers and Nick Shirley's viral videos were showing empty daycares that received millions in taxpayer money.
Daisane runs Blooming Kids Child Center, which has racked up repeated violations since 2021 for things like missing medical records, unqualified staff, and broken equipment.
He says it's all been fixed and blames staffing shortages on low pay.
And in the middle of this daycare mess, he’s sticking to his campaign staple: affordable childcare for Minnesota families.
One problem: voters might not be in the mood to hear that pitch from anyone connected to a day care right now.
He already lost a 2024 statehouse race and a 2016 City Council bid.
This third attempt comes at possibly the worst moment in Minnesota daycare history.

🇺🇸 HOUSE OVERSIGHT TO GRILL MINNESOTA ON MISSING TAXPAYER CASH
House Oversight Chairman James Comer said the Congress is stepping in to look at alleged fraud and misuse of federal money in Minnesota social services, tied to child nutrition and childcare programs.
The first hearing is set for January 7, with Minnesota officials expected to testify that they sounded the alarm early and were brushed off.
A second hearing is planned for February 10, and Comer says he has invited Tim Walz and AG Keith Ellison to testify.
Comer:
"Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and AG Keith Ellison have either been asleep at the wheel or complicit in a massive fraud involving taxpayer dollars in Minnesota's social services programs.
American taxpayers demand and deserve accountability for the theft of their hard-earned money."

ELON: THE GOLDILOCKS ZONE OF GAMING HELPS ME KILL MENTAL DEMONS
Elon revealed the psychological engine behind his love for gaming.
By finding that perfect Goldilocks zone of difficulty, Elon enters a flow state where the chaos of the world fades away and the demons in the mind are finally silenced by the pursuit of a beautiful, engaging puzzle:
“I mean, you sort of killing the demons in a video game calms the demons in my mind.
If you play a tough video game, you can get into like a state of flow, which is very enjoyable.
But mentally it needs to be not too easy, not too hard, kinda in the Goldilocks zone.
And I guess you generally want to feel like you are progressing in the game.
A good video game has beautiful art, engaging storylines, and it is like an amazing puzzle to solve. It is like solving the puzzle.”

🚨🇨🇳🇹🇼 CHINA LAUNCHES SNAP MILITARY DRILLS SIMULATING TAIWAN BLOCKADE... A 100-TON TAIWANESE PATROL BOAT IS SHADOWING THEM ANYWAY
David vs. Goliath in the Taiwan Strait.
Footage shows a tiny 100-ton Taiwanese Coast Guard patrol boat shadowing a massive Chinese Coast Guard ship during ongoing PLA exercises simulating a blockade of Taiwan.
China launched "Justice Mission 2025" on Monday, its first major military exercises around Taiwan since April. Seven exclusion zones will be sealed off for live-fire drills Tuesday.
Maj. Gen. Meng Xiangqing, China's National Defense University:
"Our vessels and aircraft have been forming a new posture of pressing the island by getting closer and closer.
The rope is being pulled tighter and tighter."
Taiwan has detected 14 Chinese Navy vessels, 14 coast guard ships, and an amphibious assault group in the Western Pacific.
Dozens of aircraft. Destroyers, fighter bombers, drones conducting "search-and-destroy operations."
The timing: Days after Trump announced an $11 billion arms package to Taiwan including HIMARS rocket systems.
Airlines cancelled flights to Taiwan's outlying islands.
Some analysts say the exclusion zones could effectively block north-south passage through the strait.
But a Pentagon report last week said China's leaders still aren't confident they can take Taiwan by force.
That tiny patrol boat knows it.

🚨🇺🇸 OPINION: THE GOVERNMENT MADE STEALING SO EASY, A RECIEPT WOULD STOP BILLIONS IN FRAUD
There's a moment in every failing system when someone finally says the quiet part out loud.
This time, it was Elon: "Even requiring a tiny amount of work for fraudulent payments would have a massive positive effect.
That's how insanely awful the level of fraud actually is."
Let that sink in... We've built a public spending apparatus so porous that the mere act of asking for a receipt might save billions.
Across the country, taxpayer dollars flow through programs that require less verification than ordering a pizza.
Ghost daycares collect checks for children who don't exist, shell nonprofits invoice for services never rendered, and welfare fraud rings operate with industrial efficiency while bureaucrats shrug and process the next payment.
The response to DOGE's suggestion: require a receipt, a photo, literally any documentation before releasing funds, reveals how normalized this has become.
We're not talking about sophisticated fraud requiring forensic accountants to uncover, we're talking about schemes that would collapse if someone simply asked "Can you prove this is real?"
When asking for basic documentation is treated as revolutionary rather than obvious, something has gone catastrophically wrong.
Consider what we require of ordinary citizens: file your taxes perfectly or face penalties, document every deduction, save every receipt, prove every claim.
Meanwhile, government programs hand out public money with less scrutiny than a vending machine… the asymmetry is insulting.
Some will argue that adding verification requirements creates barriers for legitimate recipients, but this is where good-faith policy debates belong.
There’s a difference between streamlining access and eliminating all safeguards, as we've sailed past efficiency straight into negligence.
The fraud isn't even sophisticated, which is the most damning part, as these schemes survive not because they're clever, but because nobody's checking.
Elon’s observation cuts through years of bureaucratic excuse-making.
The current system insults both taxpayers funding it and legitimate recipients whose programs get undermined by unchecked abuse.
If asking for a photo is too much friction, we're not serious about governing, we're just pretending while the treasury bleeds out.

🇺🇸 TRUMP GOT CHECKED BY THE BOND MARKET - AND HE REMEMBERS
April 2, 2025: Trump drops massive tariffs. The $30 trillion bond market revolts. Yields spike harder than any week since 2001. Stocks crash, dollar tanks, and suddenly the "Liberation Day" tariffs get delayed and downsized.
Trump called the bond market "beautiful" once it calmed down. Translation: he blinked.
Since then, Treasury Secretary Bessent - a hedge fund guy who knows exactly what he's dealing with - has been running a careful con to keep bond vigilantes quiet.
Buyback programs tilted toward long-term debt. Leaning heavy on short-term T-bills. Even consulting investors on Fed chair picks (they vetoed Kevin Hassett for being too Trump-loyal).
It's working. Yields are down 30+ basis points, volatility's at four-year lows.
But the term premium - the extra yield investors demand for risk - just started creeping back up. The deficit's still 6% of GDP.
And here's the kicker: Trump's own economic advisor Stephen Miran torched Biden last year for the exact T-bill strategy Bessent's using now, warning it piles up debt that could explode if rates spike.
So Trump's using a plan his own guy called reckless, to keep bond traders from nuking his presidency.
The bond market beat him once. It'll do it again if the numbers don't add up - and they don't.

🚨🇺🇸 ILHAN OMAR FACES INVESTIGATION AS NET WORTH EXPLODED 3,500% WHILE MINNESOTA DROWNED IN FRAUD
From under $1 million to $30 million in one year.
Nothing to see here.
The National Legal and Policy Center has launched an investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar's finances as her home state of Minnesota grapples with up to $9 billion in fraud.
Omar's net worth mysteriously surged roughly 3,500% between 2023 and 2024, according to her financial disclosures.
The gains came largely from her husband Tim Mynett's businesses, including a California winery that previously faced fraud allegations and his venture capital firm Rose Lake Capital.
Rose Lake jumped from nearly zero to between $5 million and $25 million in just one year.
The firm's website bragged about officers managing $60 billion in "previous" assets.
Recently, all nine officers' names and bios were scrubbed from LinkedIn.
Why?
Omar blamed the fraud crisis on COVID programs lacking "guardrails."
Rep. Brian Babin:
"On Walz's watch, Minnesota became a fraud factory, aided and defended by allies like Ilhan Omar.
Investigate everything.
Prosecute everyone involved."

🚨🇺🇸 MINNESOTA CONFIRMS NONE OF THE DAYCARES IN VIRAL FRAUD VIDEO HAD PAYMENTS PAUSED, STATE DOING SITE VISITS TODAY
It took a YouTuber to get the state to do its job.
Minnesota Department of Children, Youth and Families Commissioner Tikki Brown confirmed that none of the 10 child care centers Nick Shirley visited in his viral video have had their payments paused.
She added that state workers are doing site visits to the remaining centers... today.
After the video went viral.
After national outrage.
The now-infamous "Quality Learing Center" that couldn't spell its own name and received $4 million?
Closed just over a week ago.
Mako Childcare, the first one in Shirley's video?
Closed several years ago.
So let's get this straight:
Centers that closed years ago were apparently still in the system.
The misspelled daycare with no children only closed after it became a national embarrassment.
None of the 10 have had payments paused.
The state is only now showing up to check.
A YouTuber with a camera did more oversight in one afternoon than Minnesota did with billions in taxpayer funds over years.
They weren't even doing site visits before.
They're doing them now because America is watching.

🇮🇱🇵🇸 WEST BANK HAS SEPARATE ROADS FOR ISRAELIS VS PALESTINIANS - SAME HIGHWAY, DIFFERENT LANES, BASED ON YOUR LICENSE PLATE
2 parallel roads. Same region. One flows freely. One's gridlocked for hours.
The difference? Your license plate color.
Yellow plate (Israeli): Take the bypass road. Drive straight to your settlement. No checkpoints. Fast. Direct.
Green plate (Palestinian): Banned from that road. Take the congested alternative. Wait at checkpoints. Add 2-3 hours to your commute.
This isn't hidden at all.
It is infrastructure policy.
Route 4370 has a literal concrete wall down the middle. One side for Israeli traffic. Other side for Palestinian. Built into the road design.
Hundreds of kilometers of West Bank roads work this way. Israeli settlers get unrestricted access. Palestinians get restricted access or banned entirely.
The justification: Security.
After the Second Intifada (2000-2005), Israeli citizens - including settlers - were targeted in attacks on shared roads. Solution: separate roads. Settlers get protected routes. Palestinians get alternative paths.
Israeli government calls them "fabric of life roads" - infrastructure that lets both populations move while maintaining security separation.
The reality: Palestinian from Ramallah needs to reach Jerusalem (10 miles away).
They can't use the direct bypass road (restricted to Israeli vehicles).
They must take alternative route through multiple checkpoints.
Journey time: 1-2 hours (if permit granted).
Israeli from same starting point: 15-20 minutes.
That's privileged infrastructure for settlers, restricted access for occupied population.
If nothing else, this creates an economic stranglehold. Palestinians can't reach jobs, markets, hospitals efficiently. Time costs money. Restrictions cost opportunities.
Meanwhile settlers living illegally (per international law) in West Bank get better road access than the population that's been there for generations.
The settlements context:
These bypass roads don't just exist in a vacuum. They connect illegal settlements to Israel proper. They were built specifically to let settlers live deep in West Bank while commuting easily to Israeli cities.
Palestinians living in their own territory face restrictions. Settlers occupying that territory get highways.
B'Tselem, Israeli human rights org, has tracked this for 20+ years. Their reports show:
- Hundreds of km of roads Palestinians can't use
- Journeys taking 2-3x longer due to forced detours
- Economic damage from movement restrictions
- System that privileges settlers over occupied population
UN agencies confirm the same patterns.
Netanyahu just told Christians Israel's the only Middle East place they can live safely.
Meanwhile Palestinians - including Palestinian Christians - can't drive on half the roads in their own territory without permits they can't get.
That's the system. Completely different access based on whether you're occupier or occupied.
The video shows it perfectly: Israeli traffic flowing free while Palestinian traffic sits gridlocked meters away. Because the infrastructure was designed that way.

🚨🇺🇸NICK SHIRLEY'S FRAUD VIDEO HITS 75 MILLION VIEWS - FOX NEWS AIRS HIS FOOTAGE- THE INSTITUTIONAL MEDIA GATEKEEPERS JUST LOST
75 million views. Still climbing by the hour. 400,000 likes. 150,000 reposts. Fox News running his footage on national television.
Nick Shirley just proved the entire thesis: One guy with a camera documenting fraud beats every newsroom in America combined.
Here's what just changed permanently:
Traditional media ignored the Minnesota story for years. MSNBC, CNN, local stations- they all knew about welfare fraud allegations. Nobody investigated. Too politically sensitive. Too much work. Not worth the risk.
Then Nick Shirley walks to addresses, knocks on doors, films empty buildings billing millions, and gets 75 million people watching in days.
Fox News didn't break the story. They're airing footage from a YouTuber because he did the journalism they didn't. 
That's the power shift documented in real-time.
Institutional media had monopoly on investigation and distribution. You needed newsroom resources, editorial approval, broadcast access. Now you need an iPhone and the ability to read public records.
Nick found $110 million in fraud on day one. Put it on YouTube. The algorithm did the rest.
The incentive structure just got established:
75 million views = significant ad revenue. More importantly = proof that fraud investigation content scales. Every creator just saw the formula work at massive scale.
Next week: hundreds of imitators descend on every major city looking for their viral fraud expose. Because Nick just showed them the map and the treasure's real.
That's the beginning of institutional media becoming aggregators of citizen journalism rather than primary sources.
The barrier to entry just collapsed:
You don't need:
- Journalism degree
- Newsroom budget
- Editorial approval
- Broadcast license
- Corporate backing
You need:
- Public records access (free)
- Camera phone ($1000)
- Ability to walk to addresses
- Willingness to knock on doors
Nick proved the economics work. Now watch what happens when a generation realizes fraud investigation pays better than content creation and requires less creativity.
This is the DOGE army that can't be stopped:
Centralized reform efforts get bogged down in bureaucracy. But 1,000 Nick Shirleys documenting fraud simultaneously? No institution's built to counter that.
Every empty building exposed forces response. Every viral video creates political pressure. Every imitator makes the fraud harder to hide.
The decentralized investigative swarm just proved it works at scale. 75 million views is the proof.
Welcome to the new media. Too big to ignore. Too distributed to stop. Too economically viable to quit.
