During President Trump’s cabinet meeting today, Director National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard gave us a huge update. She’s leading a major purge of the Deep State, already having declassified over half a million documents and exposing abuses of power. Director Gabbard also says that she is busy putting an end to all threats from Islamic terrorists — many of whom were let in under the disastrous Biden regime’s open border policies — who want to hurt Americans. Watch here: Backup here, if needed: BREAKING: DNI Tulsi Gabbard just said she’s purging weaponization from the Deep State, and catching any and ALL Islamic terrorists plotting to harm Americans Tulsi is crushing it right now! “We’ve taken on a historic effort for transparency, declassification, and exposing… pic.twitter.com/FpkjjkvI2f — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) December 2, 2025 BREAKING: DNI Tulsi Gabbard just said she’s purging weaponization from the Deep State, and catching any and ALL Islamic terrorists plotting to harm Americans Tulsi is crushing it right now! “We’ve taken on a historic effort for transparency, declassification, and exposing these abuses of power by these deep state actors. We’ve declassified over half a MILLION documents, many of which had never been seen before by the American people.” “We have threats coming from both Islamist ideology as well as Islamist terrorists, foreign terrorist organizations, and those who seek to do harm to the American people, many of whom are let in through our borders under the previous administration.” @TulsiGabbard There is still much works to be done. However, it’s undeniable that Tulsi Gabbard is moving at an unprecedented pace to tackle the Deep State and keep American safe. The deep state made a big mistake going after Tulsi. — Paul A.

Okay, it appears the United States military will at any moment conduct land strikes on Venezuela. President Trump has once again stated he plans to conduct land strikes on Venezuela. During a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday morning, President Trump stated in regards to the current tension with Venezuela stated ” We are going to start doing strikes on land.” Watch President Trump make the statement below: Backup here if needed: *TRUMP ON VENEZUELA: “WE ARE GOING TO START DOING STRIKES ON LAND” *TRUMP: “WE ARE GOING TO START VERY SOON” pic.twitter.com/oitCOAdMGQ — Crannofonix (@CrannofonixNews) December 2, 2025 The Washington Times reported Trump also has his eyes on Colombia: President Trump said Tuesday that his administration will expand drug strikes to land locations, including in Colombia, after defending the U.S. military attacks on vessels in the Caribbean near Venezuela. “We’re going to start doing those strikes on land too,” Mr. Trump said at a meeting of his Cabinet officials. “The land is much easier, much easier and we know the routes they take. We know everything about them. We know where they live. We know where the bad ones live and we are going to start doing that very soon.” While Mr. Trump didn’t offer much in the way of specifics, he said that cocaine manufacturing plants would be the likely targets of those strikes. “Anybody that’s doing that and selling it into our country is subject to attack, not necessarily just Venezuela,” he said. The president said Colombia could be a potential target because it has drug manufacturing facilities. “I hear Colombia is making cocaine. They have cocaine manufacturing plants and then they sell us the cocaine,” he said. Mr. Trump has previously said that he wants to widen U.S. military attacks against the drug cartels that fueled the deadly domestic opioid crisis. He has also talked about expanding military operations in Venezuela as part of a broader campaign to pressure a regime change against President Nicolas Maduro, sparking fears the U.S. could get into a conflict with Venezuela. Watch Trump here: Trump: The country of Colombia is making cocaine, they have cocaine manufacturing plants. Then they sell us their cocaine, we appreciate that very much. Anybody that is doing that and selling that into our country is subject to attack. pic.twitter.com/sELsiBySZZ — Clash Report (@clashreport) December 2, 2025 NBC News reported Hegseth addressed the recent strikes on Venezuela drug boats during the meeting: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth pointed to what he called “the fog of war” in defending a follow-up military strike on an alleged drug boat in September that reportedly killed survivors of the initial attack. “I didn’t personally see survivors,” Hegseth told reporters during a Cabinet meeting at the White House on Tuesday. “The thing was on fire. It was exploded in fire and smoke. You can’t see it.” He added, “This is called the fog of war.” In September, U.S. forces conducted a strike on a boat in the Caribbean Sea suspected of smuggling drugs, then ordered a second strike after the first failed to kill all of the vessel’s occupants, one U.S. official and a source familiar with the Pentagon’s actions that day told NBC News. The boat was carrying a total of 11 individuals, the Pentagon said at the time of the strike. Since then, the U.S. has conducted more than 20 strikes on purported drug vessels it says are carrying drugs from Venezuela, killing more than 80 people. In response, bipartisan lawmakers in both the House and the Senate have started inquiries into the strikes, which critics have said could constitute a war crime. Hegseth’s comments come as President Donald Trump and the White House have stepped in to defend him amid scrutiny over the attack. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Monday said that Hegseth authorized Adm. Frank Bradley, the Special Operations commander, to order the strikes. Your thought?

This isn’t too surprising. The Afghan national who brutally shot two National Guard members just blocks away from the White House last week has pleaded not guilty to all charges against him. The accused shooter Rahmanullah Lakanwal pleaded not guilty to premeditated murder. CNN broke the story of Rahmanullah Lakanwal’s not guilty plea: An Afghan man appeared in court virtually from his hospital bed on Tuesday to plead not guilty to charges related to the shooting of two National Guardsmen in Washington, DC. Rahmanullah Lakanwal is accused of shooting two National Guard members near the White House last week. One of them, Sarah Beckstrom, died from her injuries a day later. The other victim, Andrew Wolfe, remains in critical condition. DC Superior Court Magistrate Judge Renee Raymond ordered Lakanwal held without bond before trial. “No condition or combination of conditions will reasonably assure the safety of the community,” the judge said, in deciding to keep the defendant detained. “It is fairly clear that he came across the country, 3,000 miles, armed, with a specific purpose in mind,” the judge added. Lakanwal was hospitalized after being shot Wednesday. He appeared virtually from a hospital bed on Tuesday in Washington, DC, superior court. As the judge began, the man could be seen wiggling and moving in his bed, all but his head covered by a blanket. The man mubbled his name when asked through squinted eyes. He said, through a translator, he cannot open his eyes. “I have pain,” he said. Lakanwal was charged with several crimes including premeditated murder and assault with intent to kill. He pleaded not guilty to all counts, a lawyer appointed to the case told DC Superior Court Magistrate Judge Renee Raymond. An interpreter accompanied Lakanwal in the virtual hearing translating between Pashto and English. One of Lakanwal’s attorneys argued that his client should be released. He said the Justice Department took too long to charge Lakanwal and said he had no prior criminal record. A prosecutor argued that the seriousness of the charges — including first degree murder while armed — call for him to be detained pretrial. The prosecutor also argued the man has no ties to the city, and no conditions could ensure the safety of the community.

Lakanwal, an Afghan national, was identified by federal officials as the gunman who opened fire on West Virginia National Guard members Sarah Beckstrom, 20, and Andrew Wolfe, 24, on Nov. 26, 2025. Beckstrom died a day after the shooting, and Wolfe was left fighting for his life. “I will tell you right now, I will tell you early, we will do everything in our power to seek the death penalty against that monster who should not have been in our country,” Bondi said during a segment on Fox News Thursday. Lakanwal was initially charged with three counts of assault with intent to kill while armed and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence. Your opinion?

The Minnesota Somalian fraud scandal just got even worse. Hundreds of social services workers are pinning the blame personally on Gov. Tim Walz, whom they say ignored their warnings about the fraud happening under his watch. Not only that, but they are also accusing Gov. Walz of doing everything in his power to try to silence the whistleblowers who tried to expose the fraud. An X account that claims to be associated with the Minnesota Department of Human Services posted this lengthy statement in response to a NYT story about the widespread fraud: Tim Walz is 100% responsible for massive fraud in Minnesota. We let Tim Walz know of fraud early on, hoping for a partnership in stopping fraud but no, we got the opposite response.

We let Tim Walz know of fraud early on, hoping for a partnership in stopping fraud but no, we got the opposite response. Tim Walz systematically retaliated against whistleblowers using monitoring, threats, repression, and did his best to discredit fraud reports. Instead of partnership, we got the full weight of retaliation by Tim Walz, certain DFL members and an indifferent mainstream media. It’s scary, isolating and left us wondering who we can turn to. In addition to retaliating against whistleblower, Tim Walz disempowered the Office of the Legislative Auditor, allowing agencies to disregard their audit findings and guidance. Media and politicians supporting Tim Walz or the DFL-agenda attacked whistleblowers who were trying to raise red flags on fraudulent activities. This is a cascade of systemic failures leading up to Tim Walz. Agency leaders appointed by Tim Walz willfully disregarded rules and laws to keep fraud reports quiet – even to the extent of threatening families of whistleblowers. These same leaders are not qualified for their jobs, instead getting leadership jobs via Tim Walz’s friendship so state government were left floundering. DFL lawmakers refused to acknowledge fraud and deflected any serious conversation to stop fraud. Biased mainstream media such as WCCO and MPR showed absolutely no interest in covering fraud happening in our own state. Programs, especially in behavioral health and disability services were built without any guardrails against fraud, all in an attempt to extract more funding from legislature and the federal government. As staff, we firsthand witnessed and observed fraud happening yet we were shutdown, reassigned and told to keep quiet. Sometimes more. Leadership did not want to appear to discriminate against certain communities and were unwilling to take action, such as stopping fraud, that would have an adverse impact on their image. To date, no single agency leader has been held responsible for their role in fraud whether it’s Shireen Gandhi, Jess Geil, Jodi Harpstead, Natasha Merz, Eric Grumdahl or others. It is a structure created and maintained by Tim Walz who has created an environment of inter-related agencies and institutions including the media – that help foster fraud through retaliation and turning a blind eye in exchange for political gain in the form of high power agency leadership jobs or other perks. Fundamentally, Tim Walz is dishonest, lacks ethics and integrity, has poor leadership abilities, and has never taken any accountability for his role in fraud. Instead, Tim Walz deflects by blaming national politics for his own failings and distracts the public with inveterate lying. These lies include his reference of a budget surplus under his tenure. Fact is, Minnesota never had a surplus, we had been given federal ARPA funds that were conflated as surplus money otherwise, we’d be in a deficit. And those ARPA funds, which were meant to be temporary funds were used to create more leadership positions for Tim Walz “buddies.” As such, we can’t fight fraud in Minnesota alone hence why we’re appealing to the federal levels of government. We need all the help we can get as Tim Walz’s agency leaders have upped their brazen approach in covering up their knowledge of fraud. We are grateful to numerous solid politicians (esp the Fraud Committee) and media outlets who are trying to halt fraud. We are also grateful to other whistleblowers who are bravely stepping up. Thank You NY Times for bringing the plight of Minnesota to the national stage. @nytimes This NewsNation clip dove deeper into the accusations against Tim Walz: Backup here, if needed: TIM WALZ EXPOSED: Walz has reportedly THREATENED and INTIMIDATED Minnesota whistleblowers on rampant Somalian fraud.

This has become out-of-control. Walz is the most problematic governor in the country! https://x.com/i/status/1995751458495758517/video/1 “Walz systematically retaliated against whistleblowers using monitoring threats, repression, and did his best to discredit fraud reports.” This is absolutely wild and unacceptable. Due to these accusations, Walz is now being investigated by the House Oversight Committee and Treasury Department. The New York Post has more details on the investigation: A powerful US House committee and the Treasury Department both launched investigations into Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s role in a “massive fraud” scheme that involved Somali immigrants bilking more than $1 billion from taxpayers, they revealed Monday. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) told The Post that his panel “will conduct a thorough investigation into Governor Walz’s failure to safeguard taxpayer dollars” as a result. “Minnesota Governor Tim Walz was warned about massive fraud in a pandemic food-aid program for children, yet he failed to act. Instead, whistleblowers who raised concerns faced retaliation,” Comer said. “Because of Governor Walz’s negligence, criminals — including Somali terrorists — stole nearly $1 billion from the program while children suffered.” As chairman of the powerful GOP-led panel, Comer can issue subpoenas and refer alleged crimes to the Department of Justice for potential criminal prosecution. The DOJ has already convicted 59 fraudsters in the scheme. Also on Monday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent posted on X that he had instructed his investigators to dig into how “the feckless mismanagement of the Biden Administration and Governor Tim Walz” allowed tax dollars to be funneled to al-Shabab terrorists. The revelations about the scale of the $1 billion fraud for a COVID-era food relief program are new — as is the claim that some of the money flowed back to the Somali terrorist organization. But House Republicans have been looking at Walz and Minnesota over its leaky aid programs for months. Last year, Republicans on the House Education and Workforce Committee issued a subpoena to Walz for records, though it’s unclear what information — if any — his office provided. A rep for that panel didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. The House Oversight probe comes following prosecutions of 78 scammers, often from Somalia, who took Minnesota taxpayers’ money as part of what the feds have called the Feeding Our Future fraud scandal. The ploy, according to prosecutors, involved funneling money from state social services coffers — including at the Department of Human Services and Department of Education — to the nonprofit Feeding Our Future and other organizations to ostensibly feed school children. Instead, the “depraved and brazen” plot used the funds to splurge on the lavish lifestyles of the nonprofit’s workers — including brand new fancy cars and real estate holdings as far away as Turkey and Kenya — between April 2020 and January 2022, prosecutors said. The FBI raided the fake nonprofit that same month and it later dissolved. Many of the reimbursement claims from the organizations were sent to state departments and then on to federal agencies such as the USDA. We are so blessed that this man did not wind up as Vice President of the United States. Can you imagine? Instead, Tim Walz is now facing a very real possibility of going to jail. If this turns out to be true… Tim Walz can EASILY go to prison for violating Whistleblower Protections. If it turns out that that Tim Walz retaliated against someone because they gave truthful information to law enforcement about a possible federal offense… …that’s a… — Matt Van Swol (@mattvanswol) December 2, 2025 What do you think? Should Walz go to prison for his alleged role in the Minnesota Somalian fraud scheme?
