'Another Prick In The Wall'

'Allahu Akbar'

As America turns 250 years old, it’s important to remember that freedom, not top-down communism, created our prosperity, Security and Exchange Commission Chairman Paul Atkins said in a speech at the New York Stock Exchange Tuesday morning. The SEC chairman’s speech about “Revitalizing American Markets” comes a month after New York voters elected socialist Zohran Mamdani to lead the city. Atkins highlighted the benefits of the American economic and financial system, explained its origin in a longer English tradition, and warned about the dangers of the SEC weaponizing disclosure rules to promote a social agenda. Chairman Paul Atkins is delivering remarks on @America250 at the @NYSE. https://t.co/EGKlQ9t5UE— U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (@SECGov) December 2, 2025 In his remarks, Atkins said the American 250th anniversary deserves serious reflection. “In seven months, [the American] story will reach a rare milestone when our Republic marks its 250th year,” he said, noting that the creation of the U.S. was a special moment because the Founding Fathers stood for the idea that rights were “neither permissions to be earned nor privileges to be revoked.” The attitudes of the Founders were shaped in part by what came before them in the Old World and the New World, Atkins said. The SEC chairman said that before the U.S. was a nation, it was an “investment.” “The first English settlements in this hemisphere were financed through joint-stock enterprises that allowed people to pool together and share in the risk and the reward of a very uncertain venture,” he said. He said that New York, once named “New Amsterdam,” also began as an investment project, foreshadowing its future as the major center of global finance. Atkins noted that a long English legacy of restrained government power, the preservation of property rights, and predictable rules rather than “royal whim” allowed for market and human flourishing. The Founding Fathers inherited that worldview, he said, then “forged a more perfect union.” The SEC chairman pointed to Alexander Hamilton, buried in nearby Trinity Church, as a man who understood that “markets, structured properly, can unleash the might of American dynamism as no monarch or government ministry possibly could.” It was the commercial nature of the American people, Atkins said, quoting Hamilton in Federalist 11, that so greatly defines the country and creates an “inexhaustible mine of national wealth.” Atkins said freedom and dynamism produced remarkable prosperity for the American people. In the 20th century, other regimes tried to create a top-down model of growth, he said, but these proved disastrous in comparison to the free system of the United States. “The Soviet and communist system of central planning, coercion, mass murder, seizing private property, and suppressing private enterprise, for example, collapsed under the weight of its own contradictions,” Atkins said. “While the American approach empowered its citizens to innovate, to invest, and to build wealth within predictable and enforceable frameworks.” The message from this larger set of historical examples is clear, Atkins said. “Across this long sweep of innovation, a pattern emerges with clarity: The great leaps of American life were always produced by a willingness to tolerate and accept risks within a system that rewards those who take those risks,” he said. “Our prosperity is no accident of history—nor is our primacy assured in the future. The 20th century was a triumph of economic freedom over doctrines that sought to constrain it.” Atkins warned that “principles do not preserve themselves.” He said that freedom is not a “relic” that we inherit, but a responsibility we must assume. In recent years, “our regulatory frameworks have veered from the founding ideals that helped the United States to once stand without peer as the world’s destination for public companies,” the SEC chairman said. There were over 7,000 companies listed on the U.S. stock exchanges in the mid-1990s, Atkins said, but that number had fallen by “40%” in recent years. He said this was the result of “regulatory creep” that had stifled the path to “public ownership.” He said these changes are important because all too often in recent years, “special interest groups, politicians, and at times even the SEC itself,” have “weaponized” disclosure requirements to “advance social and political agenda that stray far from the SEC’s mission.” “One of my priorities as chairman is to reform the SEC’s disclosure rules with two goals in mind,” he said. “First, the SEC must root its disclosure requirements in the concept of financial materiality. Second, these requirements must scale with a company’s size and maturity.” With these changes, Atkins said he could set the SEC on a better path to fulfilling its original mission as a benign steward of financial markets. “So as America’s 250th anniversary approaches, the question before us is not whether our entrepreneurs have the capacity to reinvigorate our capital markets, but whether we, as regulators, have the will,” he concluded. “In this new day at the SEC, and under President [Donald] Trump’s leadership, I am pleased to report that we do.” The post SEC Chairman Says at NYSE That Top-down ‘Communism’ Is a Proven Failure appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Minnesota whistleblowers went viral on X over the weekend after accusing Gov. Tim Walz of enabling fraud by retaliating against whistleblowers, and the social media platform suspended their account in a move conservatives suggest may represent another form of retaliation. “Tim Walz is 100% responsible for massive fraud in Minnesota,” the X account posted on Saturday. “Tim Walz systematically retaliated against whistleblowers using monitoring, threats, repression, and did his best to discredit fraud reports.” The whistleblower account claimed that Walz’s appointed leaders had threatened the families of whistleblowers to keep the fraud hidden, and it claimed that “no single agency leader has been held responsible for their role in fraud.” The post came amid increased national attention to the fraudsters who stole hundreds of millions from U.S. taxpayers in the last few years. The office of U.S. Attorney Daniel N. Rosen has charged 78 defendants connected to the $250 million Feeding Our Future fraud scheme, and 56 of them have pleaded guilty. Last month, conservative journalist Christopher Rufo highlighted how many fraudsters sent cash to the Somali terrorist group Al-Shabaab. By Monday, the whistleblower’s X post garnered nearly 37 million views. Suddenly, the entire account disappeared. 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. Tim Walz systematically retaliated against whistleblowers using monitoring, threats, repression,… https://t.co/cEtbnuKmgn— Minnesota Staff Fraud Reporting Commentary (@Minnesota_DHS) November 30, 2025 Retaliation? “Certainly it was retaliation, the question is by whom?” Bill Glahn, a policy fellow with the Center of the American Experiment, told The Daily Signal in an interview Monday. Glahn had been following the fraud stories for years, and he said the X account gave him information that only insiders in the Minnesota bureaucracy would know. State Rep. Kristin Robbins, a Republican and chair of the committee on Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Policy, told The Daily Signal that she has spoken with the whistleblowers behind the X account on the phone and in person. She suggested that “someone went to X and said, ‘They’re not who they say they are,’ which just is not true.” “I and many of my colleagues went on X and asked Elon Musk and X to reinstate them, because we know they are a legitimate whistleblower account,” Robbins explained. She said the account has been “regarded as legitimate in Minnesota for a long time.” Rep. Marion Rarick, another Republican on the committee, told The Daily Signal, “I have spoken with them directly, including in person, and yes, verified their identities as current or previous [Department of Human Services] employees.” The account, @Minnesota_DHS, had a blue check mark and went by the name “Minnesota Department of Human Services Employees,” claiming to represent 480 staff at the department. After X suspended the account, it reemerged as a “commentary account” named “Minnesota Staff Fraud Reporting Commentary” and claims to represent “over 480 Minnesota State Stewards.” “The Minnesota Department of Human Services did not take any steps yesterday to have the account suspended,” the department told The Daily Signal. Walz’s office did not respond to a request for comment about whether the governor played any role in the suspension. X also did not respond to a request for comment. Walz Admin Pushback The Department of Human Services noted that the whistleblower account “does not represent the views of the agency,” and denied accusations of retaliation. “Any perception that employees are being discouraged from raising issues, or that efforts are being made to identify those who speak up, is false and runs counter to our values and expectations,” the department told The Daily Signal. “Retaliation of any kind is strictly prohibited.” The department says it “is fighting fraud in our state day-in and day-out.” Walz’s office declined to comment for this story, but it directed The Daily Signal to an executive order Walz issued in September, and a message he sent to all state government employees. The order directs state agencies to “intensify efforts to prevent, detect, and combat fraud across Minnesota government programs.” “We have no tolerance for fraud in the State of Minnesota,” Walz said at the time. “If you commit fraud in Minnesota, you will be prosecuted and held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.” The message to government employees highlighted signs of suspicious activity to monitor. “It is particularly important that supervisors and agency leaders work diligently to build a culture of compliance in our agencies so that employees trust that their concerns are valued and taken seriously,” Walz wrote. Fraud Should Not Be Partisan Robbins, who is running for governor in 2026, agreed with whistleblowers in blaming Walz, particularly for allowing agency heads to retaliate against whistleblowers. “He’s certainly heard about it and allowed his commissioners, his people in these agencies, to continue it,” Robbins said. “He rolled out a very late fraud crackdown in the fall, because there’s so much pressure for him to do something and he has done nothing for 7 years.” “I think these whistleblowers are heroes,” she added. “They have tried to go through the internal channels for flagging things, and they have been ignored, retaliated against.” The representative credited the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the FBI, along with her own fraud committee, which first met in February, for exposing the fraud. She also addressed the Somali community. “Two things can be true at the same time: Most of the fraud of the people so far indicted and prosecuted has been from the Somali community. Also, some of the best whistleblowers have come from the Somali community,” Robbins said. “For too long, people were afraid to identify that a lot of the fraud came from the community,” fearful of racism accusations. “That was one of the reasons it was allowed to go on for so long.” The post RETALIATION?

ABC’s The View had often bragged about how they’re held to the news network’s journalistic standards (they recently abandoning their use of legal notes to make corrections). They were particularly off the rails during Tuesday’s episode when they demanded FBI Director Kash Patel resign for using a private jet he’s required to use by law; and claimed Admiral Bradley was being thrown “under the bus” for airstrikes on alleged drug boats, despite playing a clip of the White House defending him. They also suggested Bradley was the one flying the plane. When they were clutching their pearls about Patel’s jet travel, they played this soundbite of far-left Congressman Jamie Raskin (D-MD): “He’s been using a government jet for personal flights and lavish vacations. He's been taking his girlfriend on overnight dates on a $60 million government jet.” “When you have clowns running an organization it becomes a circus. Right? And so, I think that's really what's happening here,” proclaimed co-host Sunny Hostin, who liked to tout her history as a former federal prosecutor. Back here in reality, the position of FBI director was required by law to fly using a private jet for security purposes. A fact that went unmentioned by the ABC News show.   The View demands FBI Director Kash Patel and President Trump "resign" over Patel taking private flights.

HOSTIN: You know, I’ve worked with FBI agents as a federal prosecutor and it is one of the most important jobs within the Department of Justice. They whined that neither Patel nor Trump would “resign” over it: HOSTIN: And will he leave? I don't think that President Trump will fire him but I think he should resign. I think he should leave. BEHAR: So should Trump resign. That doesn't mean they're going to do it. Later in the show, they doubled down on their cries of purported “war crimes” from the previous day and the White House noting that orders during the operation came from Admiral Bradley.   The View claims Admiral Bradley was the pilot flying the plane to took out the alleged narco terrorists...

See the bus over there. [Pretends to bowl] BEHAR: Under the bus. HOSTIN: That's the admiral. GOLDBERG: Threw that admiral right under the bus. Goldberg also seemed to think Admiral Bradley was flying the plane that dropped the ordnance on the boat. “I do believe we said yesterday that this is exactly what they were going to do. They were going to blame the folks who worked in that plane,” she said. This is ABC News, of course they wouldn't include the context that previous administrations had carried out similar strikes.

Today is Giving Tuesday — a day to think of those less fortunate, but also a reminder that charities want your money just as much as any for-profit brand, and many use the same polished tactics to get it.The day itself is a sales pitch: created in 2012 as a feel-good counterweight to Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but quickly dominated by big nonprofits with big marketing budgets. As philanthropy-sector insider Dave Moss writes, it was launched not by beneficiaries but by “representatives of corporate America, the public relations sphere, and/or enormous, already well-funded nonprofits.”Just a reminder that sometimes it's the scrappiest, more 'unfashionable' charities where your money will go the farthest.The Wounded Warrior Project has mastered the Giving Tuesday playbook with emotional storytelling. But a 2016 CBS News investigation revealed millions spent on lavish staff conferences and travel, with a Senate review later finding that the charity had inflated its program-spending numbers by counting fundraising and PR as “veteran programs.”The ASPCA is another case where glossy branding masks inefficiency. Despite its huge Giving Tuesday paw print, watchdogs say only a small share of its massive fundraising reaches animals in need, despite what its infamously maudlin ads suggest. Very little is granted to local SPCAs — which many donors assume they’re supporting — while the national group spends tens of millions on advertising and pays its CEO close to a million dollars a year.RELATED: 'Gimme' shelter: ASPCA, Humane Society live large on your donations, warns watchdog Michael Stewart/WireImage/Getty ImagesWhich is not to say you shouldn't participate in Giving Tuesday.

Earlier this year, 34-year-old Victoria Cox — a mother of three — pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and kidnapping after admitting to helping a friend abduct two children.The friend in question is 38-year-old Daniel Callihan, a resident of Amite, Louisiana. 'These acts you committed, do you understand how awful these acts were? You understand how innocent these two little girls were?'On June 12, 2024, Callihan fatally stabbed a mother of two — Callie Brunett — more than 50 times in her home in Loranger, Louisiana, and then kidnapped Brunett's two daughters, ages 4 and 6, according to court documents.Indeed, Callihan stole the stabbing victim's 2012 Chrysler vehicle, placed Brunett's two daughters inside it, and eventually drove to Amite, court documents show. That's where he picked up Cox.Law enforcement tracked down the missing girls to a property in Jackson, Mississippi, where they made a ghastly discovery. Authorities on June 13, 2024, found the body of the 4-year-old girl in a "pit," according to a statement last month from the United States Attorney’s Office, Eastern District of Louisiana.Jackson Police Chief Joseph Wade described the crime scene as "sickening" and revealed that he "observed small cages" and "small wired enclosures," which "led us to believe that it was a location where human trafficking probably could have happened," People magazine reported.The 6-year-old sister was found alive and immediately transported to a hospital; she has since been reunited with relatives.After Callihan was arrested, he admitted to investigators that he stabbed to death the mother of the two girls and kidnapped them, the U.S. Attorney’s office stated. Callihan also confessed that he "smothered" the 4-year-old girl to death "by holding [her] closely against his chest," according to People magazine.'At any point in your mind were you thinking about your children when you did this? And that didn’t cause you to stop?'United States District Judge Lance M. Africk handed Callihan consecutive life sentences for kidnapping resulting in death and transporting a minor in interstate commerce with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.Authorities also determined that Cox was Callihan's co-conspirator in the disturbing crimes.While Callihan and Cox engaged in sexual battery against the 6-year-old girl, court docs said, the sexual battery charge was dropped.Cox has three children of her own — ages 6, 8, and 9 — and during her sentencing hearing, a stunned Hinds County Circuit Judge Winston Kidd asked her how she, as a mother, could participate in such a vile act against young children, according to WLBT-TV.RELATED: Half-naked woman 'missing flesh' and handcuffed in backyard was tortured for weeks, beaten with bat, shot with BB gun: Cops "At any point in your mind were you thinking about your children when you did this? And that didn’t cause you to stop?" Kidd asked Cox.Cox replied, "I tried, but I couldn’t."Cox added to the judge that Callihan had forced her to get high on drugs on the day of the kidnapping, according to WLBT, and that she had been out of rehab for just two days before the kidnapping.Cox also claimed she "didn’t know" Callihan didn't have "permission" to have the children, WLBT reported.Cox told the courtroom, "If I could change it all, I would, but I can't."The station added that Cox released a handwritten note in court requesting to plead guilty as quickly as possible.Cox wrote, "I've been trying to get my attorney to come go over my plea deal with me, but he has failed to do so. I would like to accept it. Can you put me on the court docket?"According to Court TV, Hinds County District Attorney Jody E. Owens II noted that his office had never witnessed that happen before — and said of Cox, "She realized, I believe, that this crime was so horrific that the atonement level has to start today."Indeed, Kidd told Cox, "These acts you committed, do you understand how awful these acts were? You understand how innocent these two little girls were? This is something you’re going to have a lot of time to think about."Kidd last week sentenced Cox to a pair of concurrent sentences: 40 years in prison on the murder charge and 25 years on the kidnapping charge, according to WWL-TV.Cox had faced the possibility of a death sentence.The Jackson Police Department did not immediately respond to Blaze News' request for comment.Like Blaze News?

The Trump administration is investigating allegations of massive fraud by members of the Somalian community, and Democratic-Farmer-Labor Gov. Tim Walz (Minn.) is being accused of obstruction.Small Business Administration Sec. Kelly Loeffler announced the investigation Tuesday after several indictments involving alleged fraud in relation to coronavirus pandemic relief funding.'Despite Governor Walz's best efforts to obstruct, SBA continues to work to expose abuse and hold perpetrators accountable, full stop.'"Numerous individuals and nonprofits indicted in the $1 billion Minnesota COVID fraud scandal, including Feeding Our Future, received SBA PPP loans in addition to other state and federal funding," Loeffler said in the post on social media.In November, federal prosecutors announced a 78th indictment in the scam. In that latest case, a man named Abdirashid Bixi Dool is accused of falsifying records for fake food sites in order to steal more than $1 million in pandemic relief funds.Dozens have already been convicted in connection with the Feeding Our Future scam alone.Loeffler went on to accuse the former Democratic vice presidential candidate of obstructing efforts to investigate the scams."Today, I have ordered an investigation into the network of Somali organizations and executives implicated in these schemes," she added. "Despite Governor Walz's best efforts to obstruct, SBA continues to work to expose abuse and hold perpetrators accountable, full stop."Loeffler cited a report from a group of Minnesota state workers at the Dept. of Human Services accusing the governor of being complicit in the theft of government funds."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," reads a statement from the group's social media account.RELATED: The US is now 'one of the worst countries' because of Trump's actions, says Ilhan Omar "Tim Walz systematically retaliated against whistleblowers using monitoring, threats, repression, and did his best to discredit fraud reports," the group added. "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 September, Walz was subpoenaed by the U.S. House Education and Workforce Committee for not being responsive enough to a request for documents related to the fraud scheme."This was an appalling abuse of a federal COVID-era program," reads a statement from a Walz spokesperson at the time.Like Blaze News?
