🇺🇸🇮🇷 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."

🇺🇸 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. Source: New York Post

🇺🇸 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." Source: House Oversight Committee, Post Millennial

Its a new year. New resolution New goal. Big up to us

While some people are already shouting about the end of the year and enjoying themselves in clubs, I’m sitting in front of my computer, working on my first tasks of the new year. And the craziest part? I finished just 20 minutes before the New Year. Everyone chooses their own way to start the year. So I’m taking this moment to wish you, in advance, a very happy and prosperous 2026, full of success in every area of your life, and above all, good health. To those who build while others celebrate: respect. 🚀

Here we are on the last day of 2025.

🚨🇺🇸 FEDERAL JUDGE RULES MEDICAID DATA CAN BE SHARED WITH ICE, ENDING BLUE STATE BLOCKADE Stephen Miller: "This ruling is long overdue." A federal judge in California ruled Monday that the government can share basic biographical, location, and contact information about Medicaid participants with ICE for immigration enforcement. U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria partially denied a preliminary injunction that 20 blue states, including California, had used to block the data-sharing. The ruling allows sharing of "basic biographical, location, and contact information," while granting an injunction against sharing more sensitive health data. Miller's full statement: "Months ago, the Trump Administration began the process of seeking welfare records for immigration enforcement purposes but were sued by 21 blue states (the states enroll for federal programs, shockingly) and immediately blocked by the courts. This ruling is long overdue." California AG Rob Bonta said he was "disappointed" in the ruling. Here's the reality: Immigrants unlawfully in the U.S. are largely not eligible for Medicaid. If you're collecting benefits you're not entitled to, you're committing fraud. And now ICE can find you. Blue states fought to protect illegal immigrants collecting taxpayer-funded benefits from being located by federal authorities. Think about that. They weren't protecting privacy. They were protecting fraud. Source: NBC News

🚨🇺🇸 REP. GILL: “WE NEED TO DRASTICALLY REDUCE LEGAL IMMIGRATION” Rep. Jonathan Gill just said what most wouldn’t dare whisper: “Frankly, I think we need to drastically reduce legal immigration.” Not illegal immigration… legal. While the Left screams about compassion and pathways to citizenship, Gill is now calling for slashing even the immigration that follows the rules. When several politicians start publicly questioning legal immigration, you know the system is breaking under pressure. It’s a rare moment of honesty and a massive signal that America’s immigration debate is shifting hard. Rep. Gill: “The reality is that we need to make sure our border stays secure, that we don't have any more illegal aliens coming into the country. But we also need to take a look at our legal immigration system, make sure it’s working for the American people. That people who are coming into our country are people coming from civilizations and cultures that are compatible with our own, and that is not the case with these Somalis. We’ve had millions of people coming in, it's time for the American people to assimilate, to become one unified culture.” Source: Acyn, RepBrandonGill, Fox News

🚨🇨🇳🇹🇼 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. Source: NYT

🚨🇺🇸 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. Source: elonmusk, DOGE

🇺🇸 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." Source: NY Post
