Kamala Harris and the DNC were repeatedly warned about the widespread fraud in Minnesota under the leadership of Democrat Governor Tim Walz during her 2024 presidential campaign, a group of nearly five hundred Minnesota Department of Human Services employees reported Monday. “[W]e did write to Kamala Harris and the DNC - multiple times - warning them about Tim Walz & his incompetence, fraud scandals and retaliation,” a post on the Minnesota Staff Fraud Reporting Commentary (formerly, Minnesota Department of Human Service Employees) X.com account explained Monday: “We tried our best to keep the public informed as our tweets are public. Maybe Kamala Harris turned a blind eye to fraud like her running mate?” The employees shared a reply to then-candidate Harris back from September 11, 2024 warning her about the fraud taking place in their state and the harm being wrought by her running mate, Gov. Walz: “Ms. Harris, please listen to Minnesota State Employees who work everyday (sic) to deliver best services possible to our state & people who expect no less & pay our wages. Tim Walz has caused incredible harm to our state & agencies, retaliated against whistleblowers against fraud.” The post includes a chart of “Selected Minnesota Fraud/Waste Cases 2019-2024” listing 21 state-funded programs receiving a total of more than a half-billion dollars of taxpayer money. At the top of that list: Feeding Our Future – a $250 million fraud scheme that the U.S. Justice Department (DOJ) has been prosecuting and investigating since 2022, resulting in charges against 78 individuals and more than 50 convictions to-date. “When notifying Kamala Harris, we were hoping she would reconsider her choice of running mate,” the Minnesota Human Services employees explained in a follow-up post. “If Kamala Harris won and she had Tim Walz’s baggage, it would harm the country immeasurably.” Investigations into the Feeding Our Future scam contributed to the exposure of more apparent pervasive fraud involving other programs in Minnesota, The New York Times reported Sunday: “Over the last five years, law enforcement officials say, fraud took root in pockets of Minnesota’s Somali diaspora as scores of individuals made small fortunes by setting up companies that billed state agencies for millions of dollars’ worth of social services that were never provided.” In three schemes currently under investigation, taxpayers were reportedly bilked out of more than a billion dollars (total) by scam organizations pretending to provide social services. “Tim Walz is 100% responsible for massive fraud in Minnesota” and even retaliated against whistleblowers and attempted to discredit reports of fraud, the group wrote: "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.”

The anti-military sentiment that had been percolating for months on the set of ABC’s The View boiled over a bit on Monday. The suspiciously timed and anonymous accusations about alleged orders from War Secretary Pete Hegseth about eliminating alleged cartel drug smugglers from Venezuela gave the liberal ladies all the cover they needed to accuse American service members of “flat-out murder” and “war crimes.” All while admitting they were completely ignorant about international law. Fresh from shooting a soap opera in Italy, moderator Whoopi Goldberg led into the segment by suggesting other countries felt bad for America and alluded to America living under a dictatorship like Italy did: GOLDBERG: Oh yeah. But, you know, this is the thing about other countries, they've lived through this. They've gone through this. HOSTIN: You said that. GOLDBERG: They know what this is like and they're just biding their time saying when the people decide enough is enough, it will be enough.   Whoopi Goldberg returns from shooting a soap opera in Italy and explains that she didn't need to bring America's politics with her "because everyone there is aware." She says Italy and Europe understand the plight of Americans because they already lived under dictators:… pic.twitter.com/HfJUzxU7NT — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) December 1, 2025   “But apparently while I was gone some horrifying things happened,” Goldberg declared, using air quotes to describe how Hegseth had, “taken a lot of heat over a report that he had an order to kill everyone on board a Venezuelan boat of ‘alleged’ drug traffickers, which led to a second strike that killed the two survivors.” Ignoring the fact that the U.S. had declared drug cartels to be terrorist organizations, pretend independent co-host Sara Haines bloviated about how “we are not at war with Venezuela.” Then, without evidence, she accused all the service members involved of “flat-out murder” and “war crimes.” Haines also boasted that “this is why those Democratic vets put out that video last week that … they can refuse to act on an illegal order.”   Ignoring the U.S.'s war on drug cartels, Sara Haines accuses service members of "flat-out murder" and "war crimes." pic.twitter.com/CWj0wbtG7t — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) December 1, 2025   Of course, as the token former federal prosecutor, co-host Sunny Hostin’s job was to use her credentials to launder their accusations as a legal certainty. Despite admitting that she “can’t speak to the law of it” because she never practiced international law, maritime law, nor studied the Uniform Code of Military Conduct or the Law of Armed Conflict, Hostin spoke with exacting certainty of what the law was, how it was to be carried out, and suggest service members were criminally liable now: [Y]ou are supposed to take those fighters as war criminals, prisoners of war, and you are supposed to give them refuge and you're supposed to take care of them and then you are supposed to put them into a court of law. Instead, they killed them. That means the person who gave the order can be held accountable and put in prison, and that means the person that conducted -- the people who conducted the orders that pulled the trigger are also responsible and can be held accountable. So, now you have people that are serving their countries, that are serving this country as patriots, perhaps following an illegal order and then themselves can be court-martialed! Imagine that!   The View wants American service members put in prison. Admitting their speaking about something they're totally ignorant about, The View accuses War Secretary Pete Hegseth of a setting up soldiers to be charged for war crimes: SUNNY HOSTIN: I can't speak to the law of it, I'm… pic.twitter.com/Ocvbb6Mes2 — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) December 1, 2025   Goldberg went a step further and suggested that those service members were intentionally hung out to dry by the administration, which Hostin agreed with: GOLDBERG: Well, what he has done is he's set them up. HOSTIN: Yes. GOLDBERG: He has set them up. HOSTIN: If it's true, yes. Hostin would go on to falsely claim the strikes happen “In the Venezuelan waters,” when they actually happened in international waters. “So this is not new, but he's setting our people up and it's not pretty,” Goldberg proclaimed after hearing about the strikes on 22 other boats. Goldberg was right when she said “this is not new,” but not in the way she thought. During the Obama years, the administration bent the rules about regarding air strikes when they were bombing Libya in 2011. And The View didn’t express outrage back then. The View’s hypocrisy wasn’t new either. The transcript is below. Click "expand" to read: ABC’s The View December 1, 2025 11:03:06 a.m. Eastern (…) WHOOPI GOLDBERG: It was crazy. But we had the best time and it was -- ANA NAVARRO: Starring in a fake soap opera sounds so much better than living through the real one. GOLDBERG: Well, one doesn't ever stop living in the real one. I didn't need to take I with me because -- because everyone there is aware. SUNNY HOSTIN: Are they? Are they? GOLDBERG: Oh yeah. But, you know, this is the thing about other countries, they've lived through this. They've gone through this. HOSTIN: You said that. GOLDBERG: They know what this is like and they're just biding their time saying when the people decide enough is enough, it will be enough. HOSTIN: Yeah. GOLDBERG: So that's going to take what it is – [Applause] But apparently while I was gone some horrifying things happened. (…) 11:04:17 a.m. Eastern GOLDBERG: Then you have Defense [sic] Secretary Pete Hegseth. He’s taken a lot of heat over a report that he had an order to kill everyone on board a Venezuelan boat of “alleged” [air quotes] drug traffickers, which led to a second strike that killed the two survivors. He boasted about these strikes several times on social media, but denies the report and insists everything was done lawfully. (…) 11:06:09 a.m. Eastern SARA HAINES: Well, I know this is why those Democratic vets put out that video last week that people said ‘why would they need to say what's already obvious, that, you know, military personnel’ -- they don't need to -- they can refuse to act on an illegal order and people were like, yeah, but there's nothing like that. Well, this is a situation where there were clearly in the cameras two men on like part -- parts of the explosion and then they're killed. So the likelihood of this is it's not a -- we are not at war with Venezuela but it's murder, it's flat-out murder and anyone that acted on those orders could be held on -- on war crimes. HOSTIN: Yeah, that’s true. (…) 11:09:35 a.m. Eastern HOSTIN: I can't speak to the law of it. I don’t know. I'm not a geopolitical expert. But in terms of the law of it, you're right, Sara, that is why those Army vets explained do not follow -- you do not have to follow illegal orders. Do you know why? Because if this is deemed to have been war crimes, which by all accounts right now there are seven sources that said Pete Hegseth did say, ‘kill them all,’ even after there were two survivors, what you are supposed to do under international law, you are supposed to take those fighters as war criminals, prisoners of war, and you are supposed to give them refuge and you're supposed to take care of them and then you are supposed to put them into a court of law. Instead, they killed them. That means the person who gave the order can be held accountable and put in prison, and that means the person that conducted -- the people who conducted the orders that pulled the trigger are also responsible and can be held accountable. So, now you have people that are serving their countries, that are serving this country as patriots, perhaps following an illegal order and then themselves can be court-martialed! Imagine that! GOLDBERG: Well, what he has done is he's set them up. HOSTIN: Yes. GOLDBERG: He has set them up. HOSTIN: If it's true, yes. GOLDBERG: Listen, this is not the first time it's happened. This is like the fifth or sixth or seventh time. I mean, at some point somebody is responsible and the buck stops there. HOSTIN: Yes, it does. NAVARRO: Many more times than that. It's been happening since September. They have killed upwards of 80 people and I think -- HAINES: 22 boats. GOLDBERG: 22 boats. HOSTIN: Yes. In the Venezuelan waters. GOLDBERG: So this is not new, but he's setting our people up and it's not pretty. We will be right back.

A civilian aircraft violated the restricted airspace above Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach on Saturday, according to military officials.Two F-16 fighter jets scrambled to respond to the plane at about 4:20 p.m., and flares were also fired to get the pilot's attention, according to the North American Aerospace Defense Command.'Adherence to [temporary flight restriction] procedures is essential to ensure flight safety, national security, and the security of the president.'The aircraft was escorted out of the restriction zone."The flares, which may have been visible to the public, are used with the highest regard for safety, burn out quickly and completely, and pose no danger to people on the ground," read a statement from NORAD.NORAD said that there had been multiple violations of the restricted airspace by "general aviation aircraft" earlier in the week.The temporary flight restrictions are issued by the Federal Aviation Administration whenever the president is visiting his residence in Florida. When a violation is detected, air traffic controllers warn pilots, and fighter jets are scrambled to intercept planes if they do not respond.There have been about 40 instances of airspace violations near Mar-a-Lago since Trump took office in January, NORAD says.After one violation in March, NORAD commander Gen. Gregory Guillot expressed frustration that pilots aren't attentive enough to the alerts about avoiding restricted airspace, called NOTAMs."Adherence to [temporary flight restriction] procedures is essential to ensure flight safety, national security, and the security of the president," said Guillot in a statement at the time. "The procedures are not optional."RELATED: 'Radar anomaly' triggers airspace closure; senator warns of EMP risks "Trust us on this ... you don't want to spend your Thanksgiving explaining to the #FAA or local law enforcement that you didn't check your NOTAMs," read a statement from NORAD on Wednesday. "#NORAD has already escorted one general aviation pilot out of the #FAA restricted airspace near Palm Beach today. Don't be next, check NOTAMs before every flight."NORAD is a joint organization between Canadian and U.S. forces to monitor and defend North American airspace. It was first established in 1957 and includes high-ranking members of the Royal Canadian Air Force as well as the U.S. Air Force.Like Blaze News?
