Currently, the following story is still a theory, but it’s worth mentioning since it’s getting a lot of attention on social media. Conservative activist Laura Loomer made a concerning accusation a few days ago. She said that Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll is aggressively undermining Pete Hegseth to get his job in a Pentagon […] The post Pentagon Coup to Replace Pete Hegseth? appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

It seems that the Somali welfare fraud scandal is now breaking into full view, and it’s hitting a lot of people who are elected officials, including the governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, and possibly Ilhan Omar. To understand why this matters so much, we have to understand that it is all tied to a couple of major national issues. One, of course, is mass migration from third-world countries. Is that something America should be pursuing? The second is a gigantic, unaccountable welfare state in which billions of dollars can simply go missing, which takes years to uncover. The two stories are intertwined. When it comes to the question of mass migration, the Trump administration has taken an incredibly strong position that mass migration, particularly from countries that do not adhere to American values, should be significantly limited or curtailed. This is a very open question, implicated by not only the Afghan national who shot two members of the National Guard, killing one, but also by this gigantic Somali welfare fraud case in Minnesota. As The Wall Street Journal points out: What happens when welfare becomes not a temporary hand up but an ingrained expectation of American life? For an ugly glimpse, look at the astonishing fraud unfolding in Minnesota. Turns out those GOP reformers were right to call out fraud in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.  The White House this week published a memo titled, “‘Yes, ‘There’s Something Wrong with Walz’—and it Cost Taxpayers $1 Billion,” highlighting various swindles in the Land of 10,000 Lakes. There may be as many fraud schemes as lakes in the state given the ease in which scammers tapped government funds. Some 86 individuals have been charged with defrauding Medicaid and the Federal Child Nutrition Program in Minnesota—yes, literally stealing lunch money from kids. “No one was doing anything about the red flags,” one defendant’s attorney told the New York Times. “It was like someone was stealing money from the cookie jar and they kept refilling it.” One of those alleged schemes, The Outfit Feeding Our Future, recruited individuals to set up a network of sham companies and sites that claimed to feed children in the pandemic. They then submitted false invoices and fake attendance rosters to the state. In fact, one of those rosters actually grabbed names from another web site called listofrandomnames.com. And somehow this worked for years. In another scheme, a 28-year-old woman allegedly launched a company, Smart Therapy, that claimed to provide one-on-one behavioral therapy to autistic children. She employed relatives with no formal education and recruited parents to enroll their non-autistic kids in her therapy sessions by paying them kickbacks of up to $1,500 a month per child. In a darkly comic twist, some parents allegedly extorted the woman by threatening to enroll their children in other autism centers if they weren’t paid bigger kickbacks. Smart Therapy allegedly billed Medicaid for the kids’ supposed therapy as well as their transportation to the appointments. It also submitted false claims for meals to the state’s food programs. In another indictment, eight individuals this fall were charged with fraudulently billing Medicaid to help recovering addicts find stable housing.  Yes, housing. Minnesota pioneered the use of Medicaid money to help beneficiaries secure housing on the questionable rationale that this would improve their health and reduce healthcare spending. Democrats built this entire massive infrastructure. And now, it turns out, lots of people took advantage of it. And those people were, in this particular case, Somali. It’s hilarious to watch members of the media try to create a rationale for why Somali immigrants to the United States, overall, have been a massive boon. In order for all this to happen, you need complicit politicians, because when the fraud is this big, and so many people seem to know about it, it seems almost impossible not to have elected officials who knew about it. The New York Post reported: US Rep. Ilhan Omar’s close ties to the $1 billion welfare scam in her Minnesota congressional district are being uncovered. Omar (D-Minn.) held parties at one of the key restaurants named in the fraud, knew one of its now-convicted owners, and one of her own staffers has also been convicted — both for stealing millions. Omar even introduced the bill that led to $250 million in fraud. Yet she claims to have been completely unaware of it.  “[Rep. Omar] knew who these people were. People she personally knew were making tens of millions of dollars in this program,” claimed Bill Glahn, a policy fellow with the Minnesota-based Center of the American Experiment, to The Post. “She had been inside the [Safari] facility on numerous occasions and couldn’t put 2 and 2 together? Either she’s terminally naive, or knew and didn’t care,” Glahn added.  Around $250 million was handed out by the Minnesota government to provide meals to schoolchildren during the pandemic from 2020 onward. Instead, it was pocketed by corrupt business owners, including Salim Ahmed Said. He’s the co-owner of Safari Restaurant, where Omar held her 2018 congressional victory party. Said was found guilty in August of stealing over $12 million for serving 3.9 million “phantom” meals during the COVID-19 pandemic. This happened inside Omar’s district. Her defense is, “Everybody who mentions this sort of stuff is racist.” That is always and forever the defense. President Trump, of course, has been highly critical of the Somali American mass migration issue. Omar says Trump is an abusive, deranged old man. This woman, who once suggested that 9/11 was “something some people did” and who herself wrote a letter to a judge asking that an ISIS recruiter be granted mercy because of the evils of having to integrate in America, is now calling the president an abusive, deranged old man because he’s been critical of Somali mass migration. Omar published a piece in The New York Times calling herself a victim, of course, because this is the way the Left always tries to get out of this. If you know a bunch of people who engaged in tremendous welfare fraud and they are big donors to you in your district, and you’ve made your career on pandering to that particular category of people, the best way out is to call everybody who notes it “racist.” “All Americans have a duty to call out this hateful rhetoric when we hear it,” she said.  Listening to Omar lecture people about calling out hateful rhetoric is truly an amazing and astonishing thing.

Fox News Channel has been the highest-rated TV network for 23 consecutive years and is on its way to making it 24 as year closes out. According to Nielsen Big Data + Panel numbers released Friday, Fox News continued to dominate viewership in November and substantially outpaced CNN and MS NOW, formerly MSNBC, during the day and primetime slots. Fox News’ cable competition sunk to historic low ratings not seen since the 1990s. Fox News averaged 2.38 million viewers during primetime, followed by MS Now (945,000 viewers) and CNN (556,000 viewers). Fox News more than doubled its competitors during the day, averaging 1.379 million viewers and topping MS Now with 600,000 viewers and CNN with 430,000 viewers. Compared to its broadcast TV rivals, Fox News beat CBS (3,190,000 viewers) and NBC (3,142,000 viewers), even though both are more widely available. Despite the primetime competition of ESPN’s Monday Night Football, Fox News still averaged 2.439 million viewers in weekday primetime while ESPN had a slightly lower average of 2.435 million viewers. Fox News launched three new weekend shows in September, which are all dominating the network’s cable news competition. “Saturday in America” with former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany is the most-watched cable news show on Saturday with an average of 1.3 million viewers. “My View” with Laura Trump on Saturdays garnered 1 million average viewers. “The Sunday Briefing” with senior White House correspondents Peter Doocy and Jacqui Heinrich ranked as the second most-watched cable news program on Sunday with 1.2 million average viewers.

Your dog’s paws take a beating every single day. From hot pavement to rough terrain, these hardworking body parts need regular attention to stay healthy. We at DogingtonPost believe proper dog paw care prevents painful problems before they start. Most paw issues can be managed at home with the right knowledge and consistent routine. What Makes Dog Paws So Vulnerable Dog paw pads serve as natural shock absorbers that provide insulation, traction, and balance while they protect bones and joints from impact. These thick, fatty tissues contain sweat glands that help regulate body temperature and offer grip on various surfaces. The digital pads beneath each toe work with the larger metacarpal pad to distribute weight evenly when dogs move. Between the toes, softer skin collects debris and moisture, which makes this area particularly vulnerable to problems. Early Warning Signs You Must Watch Look for excessive licking, limping, redness, or foul odors that come from your dog’s paws. These symptoms often indicate allergies, bacterial infections, or injuries that need immediate attention. Swelling between toes, visible cuts, or reluctance to walk on certain surfaces signals potential issues. Dogs with paw problems frequently shift weight between feet or avoid full pressure on affected paws when they walk. Weather Creates Serious Paw Threats Winter brings the greatest threat to paw health through sidewalk salt and chemicals that can cause chemical burns to their paw pads or indigestion if your dog tries to lick it off. Hot pavement during summer months can literally burn paw pads within seconds (there is a simple test called the seven-second test to check whether the pavement is too hot for your pet’s paws). Spring allergens like pollen accumulate between toes, while autumn’s wet leaves create perfect conditions for bacteria and fungi that lead to infections. Hidden Dangers in Everyday Environments Sharp objects like glass, metal fragments, and thorns hide in grass and on sidewalks where dogs walk daily. Foxtails and burrs embed themselves between toes and cause painful infections if left untreated. Chemical lawn treatments, pesticides, and cleaning products (especially those used on floors) can irritate sensitive paw pads and cause chemical burns when dogs walk through treated areas. Now that you understand what threatens your dog’s paws, you can take proactive steps to protect them through proper daily care routines. How Do You Keep Your Dog’s Paws Clean and Healthy Daily Clean Paws After Every Walk Rinse your dog’s paws with lukewarm water immediately after walks to remove salt, chemicals, and debris that collect between toes. Use a shallow basin or sink for small dogs, while larger dogs need a detachable shower head for thorough cleansing. Direct water flow between each toe where dirt and harmful substances accumulate most. Dog wipes work for quick cleanups, but water removes stubborn residue that wipes leave behind. Always dry paws completely with a microfiber towel to prevent bacterial growth in moist areas. Check between toes during this process for embedded objects like foxtails, thorns, or ice balls that form on long-haired breeds. Trim Nails Every Two to Three Weeks Overgrown nails change your dog’s gait and put pressure on joints. Cut nails when you hear clicks on hard floors or see them touch the ground when your dog stands normally. Use sharp, dog-specific nail clippers and cut at a 45-degree angle, stay well clear of the pink quick inside each nail. Keep styptic powder ready for minor bleeds (though proper technique prevents this issue). Start nail trims when dogs are young to build tolerance, and use treats during the process to create positive associations. Professional groomers recommend trims every 14-21 days for optimal paw health. Apply Protective Balm Weekly Moisturize paw pads weekly with pet-safe balms that contain natural oils like coconut oil, shea butter, or beeswax. Human lotions contain ingredients toxic to dogs and should never touch paws. Apply balm after you clean and dry, massage gently into pad surfaces and between toes. Winter conditions require more frequent applications due to salt exposure and dry indoor air. Homemade balms that use equal parts coconut oil and shea butter with beeswax provide effective protection for up to two years when stored properly. Trim Hair Between Paw Pads Excess hair between paw pads traps debris, moisture, and ice that can cause infections and discomfort. Use small scissors or battery-operated trimmers to carefully remove hair that extends beyond the pad level (professional groomers handle this task for fidgety dogs). Trim hair monthly or when you notice matted areas between toes. This simple step prevents snowball formation in winter and reduces allergen accumulation during spring months. These daily maintenance steps form the foundation of healthy paws, but sometimes problems still develop despite your best efforts. What Should You Do When Paw Problems Occur Heal Cracked and Dry Paw Pads Fast Cracked paw pads need immediate moisture therapy with thick, protective balms that contain shea butter or lanolin. Apply balm three times daily to affected areas and massage gently into cracks to promote faster recovery. Cover treated paws with dog socks for 30 minutes after application to prevent your dog from licking and to improve absorption. Severe cracks that bleed or show signs of infection require veterinary-grade antiseptic washes before you apply balm. Most minor cracks heal within 5-7 days with consistent treatment, while deep fissures may take up to three weeks. Coconut oil mixed with vitamin E provides additional properties that help stubborn cases that resist standard balms. Clean Minor Cuts Properly to Prevent Infection Flush fresh cuts with sterile saline or clean lukewarm water to remove debris and bacteria from the wound. Apply gentle pressure with clean gauze to stop the flow of blood, then clean the area with diluted betadine or chlorhexidine solution. Small cuts under 1/4 inch typically heal without bandages if you keep them clean and dry. Deeper cuts or those longer than 1/2 inch need protective wraps with non-stick gauze and medical tape (change these daily until complete recovery occurs). Watch for swelling, discharge, or red streaks that indicate infection development. Any cut that continues to bleed after 10 minutes of direct pressure needs immediate veterinary attention. Keep injured paws dry during walks with waterproof booties until complete recovery occurs, which usually takes 7-10 days for superficial wounds. Recognize When Home Treatment Fails Contact your veterinarian immediately if paw problems persist beyond one week of home treatment or worsen despite your efforts. Limps that prevent normal movement, swelling that extends beyond the paw area, or discharge with foul odors indicates serious infections that need professional medication. Deep cuts that expose underlying tissue, puncture wounds from sharp objects, or burns from hot surfaces require emergency veterinary care within 2-4 hours. Multiple paw problems that occur simultaneously often signal systemic issues like allergies or autoimmune conditions that need diagnostic tests and prescription treatments. Final Thoughts Consistent dog paw care prevents most serious problems before they develop into painful conditions that require expensive veterinary treatment. Dogs with well-maintained paws walk more comfortably, experience fewer infections, and avoid the stress of emergency medical procedures. Regular post-walk cleanups, weekly nail trims, and protective balm applications take less than 10 minutes per week but deliver significant health benefits throughout your dog’s life. You can build a sustainable routine when you choose specific days for each task rather than try to remember everything daily. Schedule nail trims every other Sunday, apply balm each Wednesday evening, and make post-walk paw cleanup an automatic habit. Keep supplies in convenient locations near your door and bath area to eliminate excuses for skipped care sessions (this simple step makes consistency much easier). Your dog’s mobility and comfort depend entirely on healthy paws that can handle daily activities without pain or restriction.

Former DEA CFO Under Obama Arrested for Laundering Cartel Money

Once upon a time, retired three-star Venezuelan General Hugo Carvajal Barrios was one of the most powerful men within the Caracas socialist regime. Now, he’s writing letters to President Trump and the American people from his jail cell, which he landed in after voluntarily pleading guilty in the U.S. to a narco-terrorism conspiracy.And while many politicians, including Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.), are criticizing President Trump for actions taken against Venezuelan narco-terrorists, BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales is in full support of Trump — alongside Barrios.Gonzales points out that Paul is “going out and giving these little, like, press junkets where he’s telling people, like, ‘Well, these guys weren’t armed. You need to prove that they’re armed first.’”“You know what they’re armed with, Rand? Drugs that they’re bringing into our country to kill Americans with,” Gonzales says, adding, “That’s what they’re armed with.”And in his letter, Barrios confirms Gonzales’ sentiment.“I see the need to address the American people about the reality of what the Venezuelan regime truly is — and why President Trump’s policies are not only correct, but absolutely necessary to the United States’ national security,” Barrios began in his letter.“I personally witnessed how Hugo Chavez’s government became a criminal organization that is now run by Nicolas Maduro, Diosdado Cabello, and other senior regime officials. The purpose of this organization, now known as the Cartel of the Suns, is to weaponize drugs against the United States,” he continued.“The drugs that reached your cities through new routes were not accidents of corruption nor just the work of independent traffickers; they were deliberate policies coordinated by the Venezuelan regime against the United States,” he added.Barrios went on to claim that the plan has “been successfully executed with help from FARC, ELN, Cuban operatives, and Hezbollah.”“The regime has provided weapons, passports, and impunity for these terrorist organizations to operate freely from Venezuela against the United States. The regime I served is not merely hostile — it is at war with you, using drugs, gangs, espionage, and even your own democratic processes as weapons,” he wrote.Barrios added, “I absolutely support President Trump’s policy towards Venezuela, because it is in self-defense and he is acting based on the truth.”“He’s already been sentenced. He’s serving time in federal prison. And he’s like, ‘I just want to make this right within my soul.’ So I’m going to explain all of this to you,” Gonzales says.“It probably makes a whole hell of a lot of sense why the Trump administration is going so hard on Venezuela regardless of whether they’re armed with guns. … Innocent Americans are dying, and they don’t have to, because of the Venezuelan government.”“We need to do something about that,” she adds.Want more from Sara Gonzales?To enjoy more of Sara's no-holds-barred takes on news and culture, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

The U.S. Supreme Court agreed Friday to hear arguments for and against President Donald Trump's order to end birthright citizenship.The Trump administration appealed a lower court order that struck down the restrictions in July over a class-action lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of children affected by the policy.'We look forward to putting this issue to rest once and for all in the Supreme Court this term.'Trump issued the Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship executive order on his first day in office of his second term. The order prohibits granting citizenship to persons born in the country to mothers illegally or temporarily in the U.S. and whose father is not a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident.Opponents of birthright citizenship say it stems from a false reading of the 14th Amendment, which was intended to apply only to former slaves when it was ratified in 1868 after the Civil War."Congress has never passed a federal statute that confers birthright citizenship. So it's not in the Constitution, it's not in federal law, it's not in the legislative history, and yet it is being used," argued BlazeTV host Mark Levin."Birthright citizenship is the argument, is the position, is the policy the Democrat Party holds on to because they want monopoly power for all time," he added, "and they don't care if it's foreigners or not."Supporters of the policy point to the longstanding precedent of automatically granting citizenship to babies born in America."No president can change the 14th Amendment’s fundamental promise of citizenship," said ACLU legal director Cecillia Wang. "We look forward to putting this issue to rest once and for all in the Supreme Court this term."The case will be heard in the spring, and a decision is expected by early summer.RELATED: DHS slams Newsom over illegal alien accused in death of 11-year-old boy on Thanksgiving Others point to the troublesome practice of "citizenship tourism" as justification for the order."There is a tourism industry surrounding this whole birthright citizenship. Women come here before they give birth so that they can just give birth here, and then their babies become United States citizens. That’s nuts, and to [Trump's] point, nobody else does this," said Sara Gonzales of "Sara Gonzales Unfiltered" on BlazeTV.The birthright order would not take away citizenship from those who already obtained it before the order went into effect.Like Blaze News?

Search parties spent weeks attempting to locate a missing Michigan woman who was pregnant. However, the frantic search ended in a disturbing discovery that shocked a community. On Nov. 4, 22-year-old Rebecca Park was reported missing, according to the Wexler County Sheriff's Office. At the time, Park was approximately 38 weeks pregnant.'The brutality and disregard for human life displayed here are deeply troubling.'Following weeks of searching for the missing pregnant woman, Park's remains were found in the Manistee National Forest on Nov. 25. However, Park's child was no longer in her womb.According to a statement by the Michigan Department of Attorney General, 40-year-old Cortney Bartholomew and 47-year-old Bradly Bartholomew "lured" Park to their home in Wexford County. Cortney Bartholomew is Park's biological mother, and Bradly Bartholomew is her stepfather."The couple then allegedly tortured Park in an attempt to remove the unborn infant, resulting in the death of both," the statement read. "This is frankly evil personified," Wexford County Prosecutor Johanna Carey said at Tuesday's arraignment, according to Michigan Live. "These two individuals created a plan, conducted research."Carey continued, "Mr. Bartholomew brought Rebecca to their home, forced her into another vehicle, and took her into the woods, where they stabbed her, forced her to lie on the ground while they cut her baby out, ultimately causing her death and the death of the baby."Carey said Park's death is a "case of premeditated torture and murder."According to ABC News, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel stated, "This case involves a truly horrific homicide in which a young woman and her unborn child endured unimaginable suffering at the hands of the defendants."Nessel added, "The brutality and disregard for human life displayed here are deeply troubling."Nessel stressed that the evidence "reflects an extraordinary level of callousness and violence.""Rebecca had everything to live for, and our hearts are with her loved ones as they endure this unthinkable loss," Nessel said. Nessel vowed that justice would be "pursued in this tragic case without delay."RELATED: Half-naked woman 'missing flesh' and handcuffed in backyard was tortured for weeks, beaten with bat, shot with BB gun: Cops Cortney Bartholomew and Bradly Bartholomew were arrested in connection with Park's death. The couple was each charged with one felony count of first-degree premeditated murder, one felony count of murder, one felony count of torture in a place of confinement, one felony count of conspiracy to commit torture, one felony count of assault of a pregnant woman with the intention to cause miscarriage or stillbirth, one felony count of conspiracy to commit assault on a pregnant woman with the intention to cause miscarriage or stillbirth, and one misdemeanor count of removal of a dead body.If convicted of any of the felonies, the pair faces up to life in prison.Court records identify Bradly Bartholomew as a habitual offender, which means he could face harsher penalties.Both suspects were jailed without the possibility of bond.People magazine reported that Cortney posted a video on her Facebook page on the same day that her daughter was due to give birth, with a caption that read: "My alibi of where I was the night my daughter came up missing."The video had a black screen with audio of Cortney's 14-year-old son reportedly saying, "She gave me my meds at about 8:40. I don't remember a lot as I just said, but she was there when I went to bed, and she was also there when I woke up the next day. I know that she never goes out and about when I'm sleeping just because she doesn't like to drive at night."Park's adoptive mother, Stephanie Park, told WWTV-TV and WWUP-TV that she had had custody of Park since she was a year old. The mother said that she has been taking care of Rebecca's two young sons, ages 3 and 2.Officials have not yet revealed if the remains of Park's baby have been recovered.Anyone with information on Park's death is urged to contact the tip line at the Wexford County Sheriff's Department at 231-779-9216.The Wexford County Sheriff's Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment by Blaze News.
