Investigative journalists Ryan Thorpe and Christopher F. Rufo published a bombshell report in City Journal. It describes how massive welfare fraud in Democrat-run Minnesota was mostly laundered through networks in the state’s Somali community. Then it was sent back to Somalia. Some of those funds ultimately ended up in the hands of the terror group Al-Shabaab. […] The post Minnesota Taxpayers Fund Al-Shabaab appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

“Gay” sheep made their fashion debut on the runway in NYC as the “I Wool Survive” collection premiered, featuring pieces made from the wool of alleged male sexually-oriented sheep. The event aims to promote a German farmer and his plight to rescue “homosexual” sheep. Michael Stücke, who is gay, oversees a flock of these rescued rams at an organization he dubbed Rainbow Wool. The rescue’s website claims that as many as 8% of rams are sexually oriented toward other males, which leads to them being slaughtered for being non-procreative. “Sadly, gay rams are often sent to slaughter because they can’t fulfill a farm’s ‘breeding role.’ We rescue them before that happens, giving them a safe home where they can live and love freely,” the Rainbow Wool website says, touting their inhabitants as “the world’s first gay flock of sheep.” The “I Wool Survive” fashion collection was created to advance this cause and bring more attention to the issue. Celebrity designer Michael Schmidt teamed up with the gay dating app, Grindr, to create the collection and host a fashion show at the Altman Building in Manhattan on November 13.  Stücke said in a press release that the 36-piece collection “proves that being gay is part of nature itself.” “The wool from these rams isn’t just material — it’s a message spun from animals who live freely and are loved,” he added.  Grindr’s senior vice president of brand marketing, Tristan Pineiro, explained why the company was interested in attaching its name to the collection. “It’s a great, feel-good story, but there’s also a message at the heart of it,” the marketing exec said, per The Washington Post. “It’s not just a fluffy story.” “The sheep are a kind of metaphor for all of us,” Pineiro went on. “Because they’re gay, they get discarded. They get thrown aside because they don’t conform to what they’re supposed to.”

Republicans in California have had a notoriously uphill battle when it comes to getting elected in recent years. However, the Democratic field in the 2026 gubernatorial race continues to grow larger, and it could spell trouble for the party with the state’s unusual “top two” primary system. Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) entered the race this week, with fellow Democrats including former Rep. Katie Porter, former Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, and State Superintendent Tony Thurmond being among the long list of people in the race, with former Fox News host Steve Hilton and Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco being the two major Republican names in the race. If the field does not thin out before the June 2 primary election, it could result in an uncomfortably close primary victory margin for the Democrat who makes it to the top two – or an even seemingly unlikely scenario of both Hilton and Bianco advancing to the general. Primary polling has shown both of the Republicans alternating between first and third place spots, depending upon the poll, with Porter usually in coming in second. The field is so large that the margins between the candidates are fairly narrow. The former congresswoman’s campaign has been marred by controversy following a botched viral interview with CBS News and a Politico report of a video of her telling a staffer to “Get out of my f***ing shot!” It’s unclear if the Democrats will consolidate, given that many of the Democrats in the race took a shot at Porter amid the controversy, and she also took aim at billionaire climate change activist Tom Steyer’s entrance into the race earlier this week. “I don’t think it’s impacted my race. I think all along we truly have believed that we are going to be number one in this race anyway. And so really, it’s going down to number two. Honestly, what we’re seeing is complete disarray in the Democrat Party,” Bianco told The Daily Wire. He further added that “yes, it’s very possible with the right campaign that two Republicans end at the top,” saying that he’s heard from moderate Democrats wanting to back his campaign over the issue of public safety. “I mean, my starting point is that I’m very confident not just that I’m gonna get into the top two for the general election, but I’m actually gonna win this race, because California is just so sick of what’s going on,” Hilton told The Daily Wire, noting that the state of the race “reflects the arrogance and corruption and entitlement of the years of one-party rule.” “These Democrats assume that if they can just get into the top two, they’re gonna win,” he added.

We’ll see, but I’m just fighting to make sure I’m in the top two,” he later added, saying that issues like cutting taxes and lowering gas prices have been sticking points of his campaign. There’s even been statewide races in California where only Democrats have made it to the top two, such as Kamala Harris and Loretta Sanchez in the 2016 Senate race. Outgoing Governor Gavin Newsom has yet to endorse a replacement, and Sen. Alex Padilla notably decided against running for the position. Earlier this month, Proposition 50, which would add five Democrat-favored congressional seats to its map for the next three election cycles, passed by a wide margin, but Hilton says it should not be considered an indicator in the gubernatorial race. “In the end, the Prop. 50 campaign wasn’t really about the lives of Californians and how they’re being made so difficult by the Democrats,” he said. “I’m guaranteeing you, there’s going to be more, it’s not gonna stop here,” Bianco said regarding the pool of Democrats in the race.
