Don’t miss what Scott Bessent is saying here.
It is very revealing.
“A lot of money has been transferred from the individuals who committed this fraud, including those who donated to the governor, donated to representative Omar and to AG Ellison.”
“They have been transferred to something called MBSs.”
“They are wire transfer organizations that are outside the regulated banking system. That money has gone overseas. We are tracking that, both to the Middle East and Somalia to see what the uses of that have been.”
Bessent is telling the world, that he has the ability to follow the money, even through wire transfers outside of the regulated banking system.
There’s now nowhere to hide.
There’s a reason why there have been so many fraud busts overseas in Trump’s second term.
Elon Musk and DOGE have helped Bessent to track the money.
It’s resulted in a lot of major busts overseas, which is a stark difference from any past presidents.
(Brave search)
“Operation Sand Dollar (April 2026, Dubai): 276 arrests, 9 UAE-based scam centers dismantled, ~$17 billion seized under the broader Operation Blackout umbrella.”
“Madagascar mission:
13 Chinese-linked scam facilities dismantled.”
“Ghana/Nigeria operation (Oct 2026): 28 arrests, 3.7 million fraud-related accounts seized, ~$11 million in assets frozen.”
“FBI Most Wanted Fraudsters list:
6 fugitives captured across multiple continents (Philippines, Jamaica, Somalia, etc.) in ~3 months, linked to ~$2 billion in combined alleged losses.”
“FinCEN discovery: $8 billion in suspicious foreign-directed wire payments identified (2021–2025), with ~$190 million in overseas fraud funds stopped and over $100 million returned to U.S. victims.”
“The White House Fraud Ledger claims $260 billion in total fraud uncovered since January 2025.”
————
And there’s been more than just these busts overseas.
If Bessent is publicly saying that the taxpayers money stolen in Minnesota through FRAUD, has connections to Walz, AG Ellison and Ilhan [Omar], then he’s ALREADY seen the evidence.
They are now following the money to see how much of the money went to terrorists overseas.
The investigation is ongoing but there’s clearly evidence that is leading in that direction.
Secretary Bessent goes toe-to-toe with Margaret Brennan over the exploding Somali fraud scandal in Minnesota.
Bessent revealed that Treasury is now tracking money that was moved out of the U.S. to the Middle East and Somalia — by individuals tied to the scheme.
And he ended his appearance with a line Brennan clearly didn’t expect.
BESSENT: “To be clear, the initial fraud was discovered by the IRS, for which I’m the acting commissioner, it was discovered by IRS criminal investigations unit.”
“This was not endogenous that the state of Minnesota decided. We had to go in and clean up the mess for them. This is part of the continued cleanup.”
“A lot of money has been transferred from the individuals who committed this fraud, including those who donated to the governor, donated to representative Omar and to AG Ellison.”
“They have been transferred to something called MBSs.”
“They are wire transfer organizations that are outside the regulated banking system. That money has gone overseas. We are tracking that, both to the Middle East and Somalia to see what the uses of that have been.”
BRENNAN: “You have no evidence of that money being used to fuel terrorism at this point? Which is what some conservative writers are alleging.”
BESSENT: “That’s why it’s an investigation. We started it last week. We will see where it goes.”
“I can tell you, it’s terrible. Representative Omar tried to downplay it. Said it was very…it was very tough to know how this money should be used. She was gaslighting the American people.”
“When you come to this country, you have to learn which side of the road to drive on, stop at stop signs and learn not to defraud the American people.”

New research has shown that eating bitter foods is linked with healthier fat distribution, reduced inflammation, improved digestion, and detoxification.
Bitter foods such as arugula, broccoli rabe, radicchio, spinach, chicory, and watercress can usually be found at supermarkets all year round.

"To this point, President Trump has been notably scrupulous in dealing with his political enemies, while they have employed every conceivable underhanded tactic, including attempted assassination. Their effrontery is monumental. The battlespace is prepared. Better believe the Gray Champion is moving to meet them there."
Read the rest by James Howard Knustler: zerohedge.com/political/coup…
This piece suggests that Trump is in lie-in-wait mode for a post-midterm call to judicial [military?] action once election crimes have been committed. I pray this is the case because the alternative projection is a harrowing one.

🚨 O'KEEFE DROPS UNDERCOVER “TALARICO TAPES” AHEAD OF TEXAS ELECTION!
@jamesokeefeiii releases recordings of people identified as a Democratic county chair and members of James Talarico's girlfriend's family, alleging Talarico is presenting himself as a MODERATE while privately holding more progressive positions!
“HE'S NOT GOING MIDDLE.”
“HE'S VERY LIBERAL…BUT WE'VE GOT TO GET ELECTED.”
The recordings raise questions about Talarico's positions on BORDER SECURITY, ABORTION, and TRANSGENDER MEDICAL PROCEDURES FOR MINORS.

Your Potential Matters More Than Your Identity
"If I could go back to my high school days, this is precisely what I would have written in yearbooks and what I hope people would have written in mine: figure out your strengths and weaknesses, improve what you can, accept what you cannot improve, and seek out settings that allow you to flourish as an individual."
"Sure, the thought and language are perhaps beyond the average 17-year-old, but it’s far better advice than following the crowd or wallowing in self-pity, which seems to be the main cultural habit of the young today," writes @jeffreytucker.

Very useful analysis of Soros sponsorship of Democratic foreign policy. What Data Republican leaves out is that George Soros and his Foundations have always been a font of imperial British policy flowing from the gods of the City of London. Following the retreat of that Empire from hard power exercises (after all they had the United States military) their colonial policy said that you can do whatever you damn want domestically, foreign affairs belong to us. So, it has been in our country since Roosevelt died. Kennedy was killed for interfering, Nixon was Watergated, after that Presidents acted as vassels. That is, until Donald Trump. That is why they hate him and have tried to kill him.

There are cults out there radicalizing people to kill. One California cult recruited trans people. Now, at least eight are dead.

JUST IN: Dozens of people were injured, and at least six people have been shot dead in nightlife districts across the country over the Halloween weekend.
Police in Dallas, the site of the deadliest violence, said four people are dead, and 15 others were injured.
Police in college towns like Fayetteville, Arkansas; Birmingham, Alabama; Newark, Delaware, and Bloomington, Illinois, also reported shootings in their nightlife districts.
Dallas Police Chief Daniel Comeaux said investigators are still trying to determine if the shootings over the span of about an hour and 15 minutes were related.
Comeaux said three separate shootings occurred, and it wasn’t immediately known why they started.
Comeaux said some arrests were made but he didn’t specify how many or what charges were involved.
“This is a really big scene. It’s spread out,” Comeaux said. “We are interviewing some individuals right now that we have arrested, still trying to figure out exactly how it ties into all the shootings out here.”
The department had increased police presence in the district before the shootings. No police officers were injured.
I'd pay to read and watch this.
Okay, if we're doing Anakin Chudwalker, and we want a coherent story instead of just hype and aura edits, the Malfoid-style "change just one thing" has to be Padme. It's the moment in AOTC where they're discussing politics in that field in Naboo.
Have her actually share Anakin's frustrations with the Republic and the broken system.
You don't have to drastically change her whole personality, it's actually good if she functions as a check on his impulsiveness and anger, but let her relate to what he's saying enough that he really trusts her and feels he can talk to her about anything.
If you change that, then years later when he's having visions of her death and Palpatine is manipulating him, he'll actually tell her about it, and she, being a politician and a lot better at understanding that world, will be the one who puts two and two together and realizes that Palpatine is playing everyone against each other.
Now you have two things that are true simultaneously: Palpatine is the source of all their problems, and the Republic is clearly broken if its system allowed that to happen in the first place.
They conspire together to hijack Palpatine's plan for themselves. The moment Palpatine kills Mace and believes he's won, Anakin strikes him down. Anakin activates Order 66, but tells the clones to capture the Jedi if possible, not exterminate them. Padme has built a political coalition in the Senate that legitimizes Anakin's mostly bloodless coup, allowing him, as the hero of the Clone Wars, to step seamlessly into the role of Emperor after he kills the Separatist leaders on Mustafar and ends the war.
Anakin knows what has to be done, and Padme knows how to make it all technically legal. The Jedi are given an ultimatum: submit to the new order and continue as its knights, or face the purge if they insist on clinging to the old, broken way. Most ultimately accept legitimate Senate authority. Those that don't get crushed by Emperor Vader and his Inquisitors.
Instead of Palpatine as a Hitler figure, we get Anakin as a Caesar figure.
Significant government purges happen. Corrupt officials and lunatics like Tarkin are quickly retired, or executed if they try to fight it. Thrawn becomes Grand Moff instead of Tarkin. He runs the military and ensures its loyalty to the throne. Padme keeps the Senate compliant. The surviving Jedi are reorganized under Ahsoka's command.
Anakin fulfills his destiny as the chosen one by bringing balance to the Force, ending the binary choice between the joyless stagnation of the light and the self-destructive hedonism of the dark by studying the path of the Bendu and the Father that runs between them.
Anakin focuses on expanding the Empire's reach across the galaxy and eliminating slavery and lawlessness. His methods are harsh, those who cannot be civilized, like the Tuskens, or who cannot be trusted, like the Hutts, are wiped out. But he isn't pointlessly cruel. He doesn't do dumb shit like enslave the wookiees for no reason or blow up planets just to prove he can. He takes Thrawn's advice and builds a highly effective normal military instead of ruinously expensive terror weapons.
The Outer Rim is brought to heel. The cartels are destroyed. The government is authoritarian but actually effective and overall quality of life in the galaxy has improved, so most people think Anakin has simply brought order and major rebellions don't occur.
Then 45 years later, the threat Anakin has been preparing for since he discovered it in Palpatine's holocrons finally arrives: the Yuuzhan Vong. This serves as the ultimate test of the system Anakin spent his entire adult life building. Old-Man-akin leads from the front, but eventually falls in battle when the Executor is boarded and Shimrra Jamaane strikes him down in a duel.
Luke, with Mara Jade as his empress, ascends the throne and avenges his father by turning back the Vong invasion. Anakin's Force Ghost smiles as his son vindicates his life's work.
Once the Vong are vanquished and the galaxy is unified and at peace, the Empire's totalitarian posture relaxes under Luke, who is of a less autocratic bent than his father was, and by the era of emperor Cade Skywalker, the system has transitioned back from a functionally absolute monarchy to a constitutional one, and structurally resembles the Fel Empire with the Jedi having been rebuilt as the Imperial Knights.

Missouri solved illegal immigration. Other states just complain.
The Show-Me State didn’t talk — it acted:
• 2008: 90% of voters made English the official language. No government services in any other language.
• Cops must verify immigration status on arrest and report illegals to the feds.
• Zero access to food stamps or Missouri HealthNet.
• No taxpayer-funded financial aid for illegals at any public college — and schools must certify compliance every year.
Result: Missouri has almost no illegals. They simply aren’t welcome, and they get nothing from taxpayers.
Arizona and others spent years grandstanding while Missouri quietly locked the door. The media ignores it because the results expose the open-border failure everywhere else.
Other states could do the same. They choose not to.

The Civilizational Significance of the Events in Poland 🇵🇱
What is happening in Poland goes way beyond the Constitutional Tribunal and the Polish government. It is even bigger than the EU. It is about whether nations, and human communities in general, can govern themselves, or whether they are all turned into a gray mass that can only be administered until we die out.
Everyone knows what being administered feels like. You have made this phone call. Your case is being processed. The woman on the line is polite, and she can't decide anything. Neither can her manager. Somewhere there is a rule, and nobody you can reach wrote it. Nobody lied to you. Nobody is responsible. You hang up feeling smaller, and you can't say who did it.
Now imagine that phone call as a country. Then as a continent.
This week the Tribunal's president was suspended and riot police stood at its gate. Let's be fair: PiS filled that Tribunal its own way – it had its reasons. The EU's top court ruled it isn't independent, Strasbourg ordered it to accept the new judges, and the Venice Commission effectively backed the government. Polish MPs chose those judges. Tusk has a real argument and plenty of paper.
But look where the paper comes from. Ask who has the last word in Poland, and the answer moves to Luxembourg, Strasbourg and Venice. And a year before Poles could settle it themselves at the ballot box, the argument arrives in riot gear.
Self-government was never about being wise. Peoples vote badly. They elect fools and build bad courts. Self-government means the mistake is yours, so the repair is yours too. And Popper put it most plainly, saying the question is not so much who should rule, but how to remove them without blood. Poles can remove Tusk in 2027 and Nawrocki in 2030. Who removes a judge in Luxembourg? Try it. Call them. Your case is being processed.
Administered Until We Die Out
A people and a population can look identical: same streets, same shops, even the same elections. The difference appears on the day they say no. A people's no ends the matter. A population's no gets processed.
And Tocqueville saw it coming, describing a power that doesn't break the will but softens it, until a nation is a flock of timid, busy animals with the government as its shepherd. Communism needed tanks, and it lost. The new gray needs only forms, and it gets thanked. Poles know that gray. We lived in it. The difference is that back then, you knew whom to hate.
Why Poland? Because Poland ran the experiment. For 123 years there was no Polish state on any map. Three empires administered the Poles, and they stayed a people, in language, prayer and memory. Then in 1980 the workers built a union and put the whole idea in its name: Niezależny Samorządny Związek Zawodowy Solidarność. Niezależny – Independent. Samorządny – Self-governing. And Solidarity. Poland knows from experience that a nation is not its state, and can outlive one.
But Poland isn't safe. Germany, the land of efficient administration, is just across the border, and it is stronger and richer than us. It doesn't need to plot anything – the forms do the job. And even to some Poles being administered may sound easier than the responsibility of self-government.
This temptation is as old as our civilization. Everything the West has built rests on one wild idea: that an adult answers for his own life, and a people for its own fate. Freedom is the pleasant part of that idea. Responsibility is the heavy part, and you can't have one without the other.
Take it away and you don't get a happier people. An administered people never grows up. It only grows old.
So the question is not whether Poland stays in Europe. It is whether anyone in Europe can still say "we", mean it, and answer for it.
Nations are no longer conquered. They are wound down, in full compliance, with a final report nobody reads.
Post-communism (1989–2026) – an Obituary
Post-communism was born in 1989, of a lie. We were told communism had ended. It had only changed its name. The communists handed over the government and kept the rest. The change was real on the surface and fake underneath.
Every lie needs a charming face. Post-communism found its best one in Donald Tusk, Poland's Tony Blair: modern, smiling, fluent in the language the West wanted to hear. Brussels loved him, and in time post-communism grew into Euro-communism: the same apparatus, the same contempt for the voter, now speaking the language of "European values".
This week, the face slipped. Riot police kept the Chief Justice out of his own Constitutional Tribunal, and the government called it restoring the rule of law.
A lie that needs the police has stopped persuading anyone. Lies do not die gently. They stand until the day they fall all at once. In 1989, we were told that day had come. It had only been postponed. Now this lie is coming to an end – and this time, the end will be real.
Post-communism is survived, for now, by its networks. In lieu of flowers, Poles are asked to vote in 2027.
Post-communism is dead.
Long live a Free Poland! 🇵🇱🗽✌🏻
