5+ min ago (383+ words) A proud legal immigrant recently went viral after going on an epic rant against ungrateful illegal alien Somali migrants in Minneapolis, along with the city's idiot mayor. As TGP readers know, 70 members of the Somali community in Minnesota were involved in stealing $250 million in COVID funds that were intended to feed children. Millions of dollars were stolen from American taxpayers and sent overseas to Somalia, and 80% of the money has not been recovered. Employees from the Minnesota Department of Human Services have accused far-left Governor Tim Walz of orchestrating a sweeping cover-up to shield the massive fraud ring from detection. Walz not only ignored early warnings but also actively retaliated against agency employees who sounded the alarm, according to employees. Rep. Ilhan Omar also finds herself in the crosshairs of the scandal. The New York Post published alarming evidence that…...

20+ min ago (385+ words) One way or another, this major diplomatic effort is bound to pay off in the end. Often in international relations, negotiations are held "where an intermediary travels back and forth between parties who are unwilling to communicate directly with each other. They call this shuttle diplomacy. Because of Donald J. Trumps vision that peace and cooperation with Russia will open up an age of prosperity for all involved, the US is devoting considerable resources to try to bridge the positions of Moscow and Kiev, and bring about a peace settlement. (Not a "ceasefire as many MSM outlets like to frame it.) So, even if, like me, you are tired of the seemingly endless rounds of negotiation, we have to admit that its a heroic task worthy of our respect. Today (14), U.S. envoys Steven Witkoff and Jared Kushner have arrived in Berlin for…...

24+ min ago (210+ words) A suspect is now in custody following the shooting at Brown University yesterday afternoon. His name has not been released, nor has he been charged with any offense at this time. Two senior law enforcement officials briefed on the matter say a suspect is in custody in connection with the shooting. The man had a unique characteristic on his firearm and that firearm was found when he was taken into custody. The person has not been identified and has not yet been charged. Providence Mayor Brett Smiley confirmed NBC's reporting but is calling the individual detained a "person of interest." He also announced the shelter-in-place order has been lifted. Could be a scratch. I'm guessing young white male with TDS. The punk who shot Charlie Kirk was a big fan of My Little Pony. Extra large eyebrows like the dizzy…...

24+ min ago (339+ words) Yael Eckstein, president of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, reacted to the shooting that killed at least 12 people during an attack on a Hanukkah event in Australia. Israeli officials were quick to lay blame for the deadly shooting in Sydney, Australia, at the feet of the nation's government on Sunday, saying it had ignored "countless warning signs" of antisemitism. Israeli President Isaac Herzog and foreign minister Gideon Saar released uncommonly stark statements following Sunday's shooting, which killed at least 11 people and hospitalized 29. "Time and again we called on the Australian government to take action and fight against the enormous wave of antisemitism that is plaguing Australian society," Herzog said in a statement on social media, posting an image of a prayer shawl stained in blood. Saar was even more heavily critical of Australian authorities, arguing they had ignored…...

28+ min ago (727+ words) During this week's oral arguments in Trump v. Slaughter, Justice Sonia Sotomayor threatened America with a good time " warning that the administration is "asking us to destroy the structure of government." Great. It's about time an unaccountable fourth branch of the state was decimated. Trump v. Slaughter revolves around the president's ability to fire executive branch officials without cause at "independent" agencies. For one thing, nowhere does the Constitution empower Congress to create "independent" anything. The notion is a concoction of our worst former president, Woodrow Wilson, and it was codified nearly a century ago in Humphrey's Executor v. United States, when the high court ruled that the Federal Trade Commission was a quasi-legislative, quasi-executive, and quasi-judicial agency. Google informs me that the FTC is an "independent agency" that is "technically within the executive branch structure," which is not a real thing. Moreover,…...
