It would seem that Minnesota leads the nation in the production of international fugitives from justice. From the FBI’s Minneapolis field office, Our Burnsville Man was apprehended in Mogadishu, Somalia, after more than four years on the run from federal fraud charges. There is probably a Netflix miniseries embedded in that last sentence. Eidleh is Defendant No. 2 (out of 80) in the sprawling Feeding Our Future scandal, and is

“Paranoia strikes deep,” goes the classic Buffalo Springfield song. How about the hatred of Jews? It doesn’t have quite the same ring, but a federal indictment emanating from a cast of characters associated with the University of Michigan provides a glaring example of how deeply it strikes. The indictment handed up by a grand jury in the Eastern District of Michigan runs to 63 pages and variously alleges ten counts

Minnesota is once again in the spotlight for its massive completely out-of-control fraud with another round of FBI raids this morning. A roundup of coverage, starting with the locals, Star Tribune: Minnesota assists federal agents on raids targeting fraud. No. Not even a little bit. But that hasn’t stopped Tim Walz, Keith Ellison, and other unworthies from taking wholly unearned victory laps. National coverage, Associated Press (AP): Agents armed with

The assault of TPUSA reporter Savanah Hernandez outside the Whipple Federal Building this past Saturday remains in the national news. However, you’d never know it from reading the Star Tribune. The Star Tribune has published one story on the case and have yet to identify a single one of the perpetrators. How lame can you get? Ms. Hernandez was assaulted as she sought to cover this weekend’s protest at Whipple

“Michigan man” Ayman Ghazali had mass murder on his mind and all the equipment necessary to commit it when he plowed into Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan on March 12. In doing so, he was inspired by Hezbollah to kill as many Jews as possible. He assidously sought out the site and gathered the means. On Monday Detroit FBI Special Agent in Charge Jennifer Runyan called a press conference

The extent to which the Department of Justice under Merrick Garland was weaponized to serve the Democratic Party is a scandal that is still unraveling. The FBI was particularly turned to partisan ends, a scandal for which there has yet been no accounting. It has most recently come to light that in 2023, the FBI tapped the phones secretly subpoenaed phone records of both Kash Patel–now, ironically, the Director of

The story of the organized resistance — the story of the unlawful conspiracy to obstruct the enforcement of federal immigration law — can be found inside the Signal chats that have been penetrated in part by Cam Higby. That story broke wide open yesterday with FBI Director Kash Patel’s announcment: “We’re investigating. As soon as Higby put that post out, I opened an investigation on it. If that leads to

If you want to keep up with what’s happening in the Twin Cities, you more or less have to track it on X. In the post below Nick Sortor follows up on the videos I posted yesterday in “The mire this time.” Sortor’s simple post reporting the arrest of Raul Gutierrez shows that Minneapolis is a hotbed of gang activity and that the gangsters support the resistance to ICE called

Over the weekend I noted the torching of Mississippi’s Beth Israel Congregation in Jackson. It is the state’s largest synagogue and a previous victim of arson dating back to the civil rights era. This week the FBI found the perpetrator with a little help from his father. Salena Zito devoted a column exploring the question who inspired him. She reports: Russ Latino, a native Mississippian and founder of the Jackson-based

As William Buckley used to say, herewith a few thoughts…mine on the death of Renee Nicole Good and related events. Minnesota’s state and local authorities — Governor Walz, Attorney General Ellison, and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, to take only the leading figures — have all but explictly called for resistance to federal law enforcement in Minnesota. Walz, for example, has referred to ICE as the Gestapo and called for “a

Bill Glahn, Lou Raguse, and other members of the local Twin Cities press have been covering the massive public-programs fraud committed by a large cast of almost exclusively Somali perpetrators for a while now. For those just tuning in, Bill points out — to take one example — that KSTP’s Jay Kolls knocked on alleged daycare doors in this January 2025 story. YouTuber Nick Shirley has brought the daycare story

Another holiday week, but still the news from Minnesota keeps coming. Today, it was all about the FBI.

Fox News (video): Independent journalist works to expose fraud in Minnesota New York Post: Kash Patel threatens Somali scammers with denaturalization, deportation over uncovered Minnesota fraud: ‘Tip of a very large iceberg’.

Yesterday, the FBI delivered to the Senate Judiciary Committee emails relating to the search of President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home. Senator Charles Grassley has released what I take to be all of the responsive documents. Comments you may have seen on the emails are correct: the FBI didn’t think there was probable cause to search Trump’s home, but Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice insisted. The FBI thought they should communicate with

Arctic Frost was the FBI investigation that tried to associate Donald Trump and many other Republicans with the January 6, 2021, Capitol protest. It was the basis for one of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s indictments of Trump. That indictment was dismissed. Senator Chuck Grassley has been on this case for a long time; whistleblowers approached him long ago to explain the corruption of the FBI and Joe Biden’s Department of

Arctic Frost was the code name under which the Biden FBI conducted a sweeping, illicit investigation of much of the Republican Party. Arctic Frost was intended as the basis for the criminal case that Special Counsel Jack Smith brought against Donald Trump, who was then out of power, relating to his efforts to “overturn” the 2020 presidential election. That case eventually was dismissed, deservedly so. On Wednesday, Senator Chuck Grassley,

There’s something about Masih — Masih Alinejad — that the Iranian regime doesn’t like. An Iranian expatriate and American citizen, she was a target of the mullahs. They hired some hit men to kill her at her home in New York. She posted a video in 2022 to document what was happening. These are the scary scenes capturing a man who tried to enter my house in New York with

The unholy alliance between government and left-wing nonprofits has increasingly come into focus in recent years, especially since the beginning of the second Trump administration. One of the worst of those left-wing NGOs is the Southern Poverty Law Center, a corrupt, far left hate group that has been granted legitimacy by both the government and the press. No longer, at least as far as the Trump administration is concerned: The
