After Fox News broke the story of the sealed indictment handed up by a Minnesota federal grand jury yesterday in the matter of TPUSA reporter Savanah Hernandez, we received the Department of Justice press release with a copy of the indictment. The press release announces the indictment of the family that flays together — “suburban dad” Chris Ostroushko, wife DeYanna, and daughter Paige: United States Attorney Daniel N. Rosen today

O ye of little faith, Fox News reports that two defendants have been indicted in the assault of TPSUA reporter Savanah Herandez at the Whipple Federal Building on April 11. I do not believe the indictments have been made public or the defendants identified. Assuming the Fox News story is accurate, I will go out on a limb and speculate wildly that they include two members of the family that

We have covered the case of JayCee Cooper v. USA Powerlifting in several posts over the past two years. The case raised the question whether USAPL’s separation of men from women in USAPL’s Minnesota competitions violates the Minnesota Human Rights Act and must yield to Cooper’s self-identification as a woman. The case gestated for nearly a year at the Minnesota Supreme Court only to be delivered as Rosemary’s baby (the

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

Today the FBI executed twenty-two search warrants around the metropolitan Twin Cities in its continued investigation of the massiive public-programs fraud committed by an almost exclusively Somali cast of perpetrators. The United States Attorney will present the evidence to a federal grand jury and secure indictments in due course.

It’s like Christmas in April. Another two dozen fraud-linked locations in Minnesota were raided by the FBI this morning. Reportedly, Quality Learing Center was among them. Local reporter Lou Raguse (KARE-11 TV, NBC) reports that of the 22 addresses raided today, 10 were childcares (including Quality Learing), five were autism centers, and seven were other businesses. In the meantime, so much winning. JOHN adds: In December of last year, then-Assistant

And captured in Minnesota, no less. I wrote about the case of Said Jama Ahmed on Wednesday as he made his initial appearance in federal court in Minnesota. It turns out that Jama is a bona fide Somali pirate. The U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS) posted on Twitter (X) earlier today. DHS goes on to recount, This [2012] threat occurred during an encounter when the U.S.S. Halsey responded to

It all began to unravel last Friday (April 17), when the Wall Street Journal reported that the Minnesota congresswoman’s net worth had plummeted in less than a year from as much as $30 million to less than $100,000. Oof. On Monday, the Journal followed up on their news item with an opinion piece. On Tuesday, Rep. Omar had a much-reported-on run-in with a reporter in the hallway in Congress. Also

We were hoping that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MPLS) would have made an appearance at yesterday’s meeting of the Minnesota state House Fraud prevention committee. The timing would have been fantastic, as the story of her 3,500 percent “accounting error” that reduced her net worth from $30 million to a mere $95,000 continues to reverberate. She had been invited to attend, but did not respond and did not appear or send

Ellison was asked to appear and answer more questions about his involvement in the Feeding our Future fraud scandal in light of new information made public since his last appearance in April 2025. The night before the hearing, Mr. Ellison sent his regrets via

The Minneapolis Star Tribune is displeased to report, Another city just voted to fly the former Minnesota state flag. Horror of horrors, A majority of Elk River residents wanted the former Minnesota state flag to be the one displayed on city-owned properties, and on Monday the City Council obliged by passing a resolution making it so.

The April 11 protest conducted by the “resistance” at the Whipple Federal Building in the Twin Cities culminated in an assault on TPUSA reporter Savanah Hernandez. The assault was captured on video. Among the perpetrators were “suburban dad” Chris Ostroushko and suburban daughter Paige. Suburban mom DeYanna Ostroushko was in the mix as well. I call them the family that flays together. Chris was of course featured in the January
