The Minnesota “mastermind” of the state’s massive COVID meal fraud claims “Squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar was in on the $250 million scam. Aimee Bock, founder of nonprofit Feeding Our Future, was convicted in March 2025 of conspiracy, bribery and wire fraud for allegedly helping restaurant owners file fake or inflated claims during the pandemic to steal millions in child nutrition funds from the government. She spoke to The Post by video call this week from Sherburne County Jail, where she is awaiting sentencing. I struggle to believe that she wouldn’t have known,” Bock said of Omar.

Well, of COURSE she was in on it! That was the whole reason she and her husband claimed their winery was worth $30,000,000. She was trying to launder the money. Arrest her, denaturalize her, and send her skinny ass back to Somalia. Within a week or so, she’ll lose her head - literally.

Go after the husband for winery tax fraud. Convict and tell him no jail time if he leaves the US and never returns. See if she follows him.

No one goes from 50,000 to 30,000,000 in one year with a business that does not do what it says it does...like a winery. I believe that if the government audits these accounts correctly, they will find that Omar is very involved. I trust JD to expose those crimes committed.

The Democratic Party’s dominance of the Golden State may be waning. More than 900,000 ballots turned in by early voters in the June 2 primary show more than a three-fold surge in Republican votes compared to the last governor’s race four years ago, according to newly released data. Data linked in a post over the weekend from the research firm Political Data (PDI) showed that “out of 905,889 ballots that have been returned, 37% were from Republicans, with Republican returns up 11% compared to the same stage of the 2022 midterms.” the California Post reported.

Long deployments are hard on our service members, and now the USS Gerald R. Ford, the mightiest warship in human history, has returned to its home port of Norfolk, Virginia, after an 11-month deployment. That's the longest deployment by an American aircraft carrier since the Vietnam War. The extended deployment saw the ship involved in the ouster of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, and then participating in the curb-stomping of Iran in Operation Epic Fury. Now, the officers and sailors are getting a break.

With one weekend and a day before the Kentucky primary elections, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) has found himself with fewer and fewer friends and allies as President Donald Trump has actively sought to primary him over a number of open disputes. Massie, who has served in Congress since November 2012, faces three Republican challengers in next week’s primary voting to decide who will be the Republican contender to serve Kentucky’s 4th congressional district in the House. They are: Trump-endorsed former Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein, Dennis Jackson, and Robert Wells. Trump went so far as to attend a rally in support of Gallrein.

Mamdani, a staunch critic of Israel, honored “Nakba Day” – marking what Palestinians call the “catastrophe” of the Jewish State’s declaration of independence on May 14, 1948 – in a Friday night post, that included a polished video interview with “Nakba survivor” and city resident Inea Bushnaq. “Today marks Nakba Day, an annual remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians—

With the dust on redistricting mostly settled, Republicans appear poised for a double-digit swing of House seats in their favor in the 2026 midterms, at least if all goes according to plan. The Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais saw the justices narrow Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and disallow race-based congressional districts. The move triggered map redraws across the South and is expected to result in more than a dozen seats moving toward the GOP, at least in time for 2028. Democratic countermeasures, meanwhile, have hit a judicial brick wall, with the Virginia Supreme Court striking down that state’s ambitious redraw, saving four Republican seats.

President Donald Trump is back from China with a very clear message to the Iranian regime. “For Iran, the Clock is Ticking, and they better get moving, FAST, or there won’t be anything left of them. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!” Before Trump left for China, it was clear that his patience with the Iranian regime was wearing thin. So if they didn't get it before, they should listen now. It's time to fish or cut bait, and if they do not, they're going to have a very unfortunate 'find out" moment. The Iranian regime still appears to be misbehaving, as they're believed to be behind a serious drone strike

Trump-backed Rep. Julia Letlow and Louisiana Treasurer John Fleming are now set to advance after no candidate received the majority needed to avoid a June 27 runoff. Cassidy’s defeat is not complicated. In 2021, Cassidy joined Democrats and a small group of establishment Republicans in voting to convict Trump during the second impeachment trial.

Cuba's communist leaders are facing some tough times. The Cuban people are getting good and tired of no electricity, no decent food, no garbage pickup, and the prospect of a jail term if they complain about any of that, and yet the people are taking to the streets anyway. This has to be making the remnants of the old Castro regime nervous. Also making them nervous is President Trump's removal by force of a key Cuban ally, Venezuelan strongman dictator Nicolás Maduro, and the subsequent shutting off of the Venezuelan oil that was helping keep Cuba's energy economy afloat. Could Cuba's El Presidente Miguel Díaz-Canel and his communist cohorts be thinking

At least six Americans were exposed to Ebola virus in the Democratic Republic of Congo, sources with international aid organizations told CBS News, although it was unclear if any had been infected. Three of the Americans faced a high-risk contact or exposure, the sources said, and one was symptomatic. It wasn't immediately clear whether the Americans are still in Congo. The health news organization STAT was first to report on the exposures. The World Health Organization this week declared the Ebola outbreak in Congo and Uganda a "public health emergency of international concern." At least 80 suspected deaths have been reported, the WHO said Saturday.

Americans may be paying a hidden “lawsuit tax” through higher insurance premiums and higher prices for everyday goods, as trucking companies face rising litigation costs from staged crashes, massive settlements and “nuclear verdicts.” Industry groups and lawsuit abuse critics told the Daily Caller News Foundation that costs from frivolous lawsuits and rising settlements are being passed down to consumers through elevated insurance premiums, higher transportation costs and inflated prices for everyday goods. They argue those costs are especially hitting the trucking industry, where rising commercial insurance premiums can ripple through freight rates, grocery bills, consumer goods and even personal auto insurance premiums. “Abusive litigation practices against the trucking industry
