Whistleblower’s letter alleges Minnesota lawmakers ignored fraud warnings for years
Whistleblower Faye Bernstein and State Rep. Kristin Robbins, R-Minn., join ‘Saturday in America’ to discuss the fraud allegations in Minnesota and Bernstein's letter revealing how state officials allegedly ignored previous warnings
I wonder how many foreign bank accounts Walz has, I hope the Fed found all of them. Don’t forget China bank accounts

Sounds like Walz and his lackeys were doing the China punishment, fortunately none of the whistle blowers are dead. I hope they have protection.
So the states have a part of the DHS department, makes me wonder how much of this goes on in DC. And maybe all others states DHS center have seriously corrupt DHS agents. It also leads me to believe that this fraud has happened in all states.
If an offshoot at the fed gov DHS are doing this theft, how many in DC is infected. My conclusion it’s a pandemic and has gone on since before 9/11 in all their depts and offshoots in each state.
The leadership and employees in every state, should all get a lie detector test before keeping their jobs for years. Every agency in D.C. has corruption and theft, of course state employees have it easier to steal.
DOGE has to be expanded now

Israel moves to tighten grip on West Bank – media
US President Donald Trump has earlier stressed he would not allow Israel to annex the territory
(No wonder Bibi wants to meet with Trump urgently!Israel leaders don’t want peace, they never have. They like their martyr symbol.)
Israel has moved to tighten its control over the West Bank, approving a policy overhaul that has drawn condemnation from the Palestinian Authority (PA), Arab and Muslim countries, and the EU.
Much of the West Bank is under Israeli military control, while limited Palestinian self-rule exists in certain areas administered by the PA. The territory is divided into Areas A, B, and C, with Israel controlling security and civil matters in most of Area C, where the majority of settlements are located.
Israeli Cabinet-approved reforms on Sunday would make it easier for settlers in the West Bank to buy land while granting Israeli authorities more enforcement powers over Palestinians. Citing statements by Defense Minister Israel Katz and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, The Times of Israel said the measures included scrapping decades-old regulations that prevent Jewish private citizens from buying land in the West Bank.
They were also reported to include provisions that would enable Israeli authorities to oversee certain religious sites and to enhance supervision and enforcement in areas governed by the Palestinian Authority, specifically concerning environmental hazards, water violations, and damage to archaeological sites.
The reforms come despite US President Donald Trump’s peace plan, which gives day-to-day governance in Gaza to a 15-member Palestinian technocrat team under a ‘Board of Peace.’ The body was unveiled last month as part of a US-brokered ceasefire between Hamas and Israel. Trump has stressed he would not allow Israel to annex the West Bank.
The PA condemned Israel’s “illegitimate and illegal” decisions, calling on the UN and the US to intervene. Palestinian militant group Hamas urged an “escalation” of the conflict “by all available means,” while appealing to Arab and Muslim states to sever ties with Israel.
The move also drew condemnation from the EU and the foreign ministers of Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Pakistan, Türkiye, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. In a statement, the ministers warned against the Israeli “continued expansionist” policies and called on the international community to act.
The Israeli actions follow previous approvals for settlement construction, including measures announced in December. More than 700,000 Israelis reportedly now live in settlements across the West Bank and East Jerusalem, territories captured by Israel from Jordan in 1967 and sought by Palestinians for a future state.Critics warn the continued settlement expansion could permanently undermine prospects for a two-state solution.
(I think Bibi likes the idea that the land can be a vacation place for the very wealthy, like the French coast. He really wants the Palestinians to die, to get what he wants.)

Iran floats nuclear enrichment compromise
Tehran could dilute its highly enriched uranium if all sanctions on the country are lifted, Iran’s nuclear chief has suggested
Iran could dilute its stockpile of highly enriched uranium in exchange for ending all sanctions imposed on the country, its atomic energy chief, Mohammad Eslami, has suggested.
Speaking to reporters on Monday, the head of theAtomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) signaled Tehran was ready to show some flexibility on US demands to end its nuclear program and adopt a “zero enrichment” policy. Washington has long accused Tehran of trying to create nuclear weapons, while Iran has maintained that its program is strictly civilian.
Tehran could consider diluting its stockpile of 60%-enriched uranium, which is close to weapons-grade, if “all sanctions would be lifted in return,” Eslami stated. The AEOI boss did not say whether his proposal was related only to unilateral US sanctions or restrictions imposed on the country by other nations as well.
The remarks come as Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi ruled out giving up uranium enrichment activities even under threat of war, stating the nuclear program is crucial for his country.
“Zero enrichment can never be accepted by us.Hence, we need to focus on discussions that accept enrichment inside Iran while building trust that enrichment is and will stay for peaceful purposes,” Araghchi stated on Sunday.
Iran’s “insistence on enrichment is not merely technical or economic,” the top diplomat explained, but is actually rooted in “a desire for independence and dignity.”
The statements from Iran’s top officials come amid soaring tensions in the region, where the US recently deployed additional aerial and naval assets while repeatedly threatening military action.At the same time, Washington and Tehran have been engaged in indirect talks in Oman, with Iran calling the contacts a “good start.”
Although the US and Iran have had poor relations for decades, they rapidly deteriorated following several unsuccessful rounds of talks on the country’s nuclear program held early last year. The unfruitful negotiations were followed by a 12-day war between Iran and Israel, which ended with the US bombing the former’s nuclear facilities. While Washington has insisted the strikes inflicted heavy damage on its nuclear program, Tehran has claimed the attack had only a limited impact on its uranium enrichment capacity.

Trump officials slam Venezuelan Nobel winner as ‘spoiler’ – Politico
The White House has reportedly accused Maria Corina Machado of undermining national security goals
White House officials have grown “frustrated” with anti-Maduro Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Corina Machadoover her remarks on the timing of elections in Venezuela, Politico reported on Friday, citing sources.
Earlier this week, Machado, an opposition leader who backed the US intervention in Venezuela and the abduction of President Nicolas Maduro in early January,told Politico that voting could be implemented fairly quickly, suggesting nine to ten months as a possible timeframe.
According to a White House adviser who spoke to the outlet on condition of anonymity,Machado’s comments “rubbed some people the wrong way,” with the officialaccusing her of “undermining the president’s policy success,” including the release of political prisoners, joint law-enforcement operations between the two countries, and other areas of cooperation.
“All Maria Corina Machado does is try to negate all of this… she’s selfish,” the adviser said. “None of this is ‘Operation Maria Corina Machado.’ It’s ‘Operation US national security,’ which is not tied to her in any way. She’s a spoiler and she’s working against US national security goals.”
Another person close to the White House saidthe former congresswoman “shouldn’t be opining on a time frame,” adding that “[24] months is a more realistic time frame.”
In a statement to Politico,the White House stressed that elections cannot happen “overnight” and would be held “at the right time,” adding that US President Donald Trump’s top priority is rebuilding the country before an election takes place.
Machado’s office dismissed the criticism as “media noise” and rumors, insisting that the opposition is “closely aligned” with the US government “in our approach.” (She’s a tool and always has been, plus she’s a lefty)
Trump previously questioned Machado’s suitability for office, saying she “doesn’t have the support or the respect within the country.”
Machado, a former congresswoman with longstanding ties to Washington who has led anti-government protests, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in December for what the committee described as her struggle for a peaceful democratic transition. She later gifted the medal to Trump, though the Nobel Committee has insisted that the prize “cannot be revoked, shared, or transferred to others.”

I always believed Trump’s admin should stay away from her! She kicked the real winner Gonzalas who won the election against Mandura! She wasn’t allowed on the election, but she said she won. She’s a tool and a convincing one at that. PS Trump should never have accepted her award, it was total manipulation or bribe of when she offered it to him.)
At least the bitch U.S. caught now!
Lindsey Vonn's dad says he believes her crash marks 'the end of her career'
Alan Kildow — a former ski racer himself who taught his daughter to race — said he slept in his daughter's hospital room overnight.
Lindsey Vonn's father said Monday that the American superstar will no longer race if he has any influence over her decision and that she will not return to the Winter Olympics after breaking her leg in the downhill over the weekend.
"She's 41 years old and this is the end of her career," Alan Kildow said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. "There will be no more ski races for Lindsey Vonn, as long as I have anything to say about it."
Kildow and the rest of Vonn's family — a brother and two sisters, too — have been with Vonn while she is being treated at a hospital in Treviso following her fall and helicopter evacuation from the course in Cortina on Sunday.
The hospital late Sunday released a statement saying Vonn had undergone surgery on her left leg and the U.S. Ski Team said she was in stable condition. There have not been other updates since.
Kildow declined to comment on details of Vonn's injuries, but he did address how she was doing emotionally.
"She's a very strong individual," Kildow said. "She knows physical pain and she understands the circumstances that she finds herself in. And she's able to handle it. Better than I expected. She's a very, very strong person. And so I think she's handling it real well."
Kildow — a former ski racer himself who taught his daughter to race — said he slept in his daughter's hospital room overnight.
"She has somebody with her — or multiple people with her — at all times," Kildow said. "We'll have people here as long as she's here."
Kildow and the rest of Vonn's family watched the crash from the finish area with all of the other spectators.
"First, the shock and the horror of the whole thing, seeing a crash like that," Kildow said of what he felt watching the scene unfold. "It can be dramatic and traumatic. You're just horrified at what those kinds of impacts have.
"You can go into a shock an emotional psychological shock," he added. "Because it's difficult to just accept what's happened. But she's well cared for. … And the USOC and the U.S. Ski team have a very, very top-notch doctor with her and she is being very well cared for here in Italy."
Vonn raced the downhill despite tearing the ACL in her left knee nine days earlier in another crash.
"What happened to her had nothing to do with the ACL issue on her left leg. Nothing," Kildow said. "She had demonstrated that she was able to function at a very high level with the two downhill training runs. … And she had been cleared by high level physicians to ski."
Kildow said the crash was less a result of Vonn's knee injury than the way she pushed the limits of her racing line to the point where she clipped a gate early in her run and got knocked out of control.
"There are times sometimes in any race, but especially in downhill, where you have to take a little speed off," he said. "You can give yourself a little bit more leeway on the line so you don't put yourself in a questionable position."
Vonn, who holds the record of 12 World Cup victories in Cortina, returned to the circuit last season after nearly six years of retirement and after a partial titanium replacement surgery in her right knee. She won two downhills and finished on the podium in seven of the eight World Cup races that she finished this season — and came fourth in the other one.
"She won 84 World Cup races. And not many people do that," Kildow said, referring to Vonn's victory total, which place her second on the all-time women's list behind teammate Mikaela Shiffrin's record 108 wins.
"And there's a hell of a lot of the difference between a speed race, a downhill especially, and a slalom," Kildow added.
Vonn will not return to the Olympics to cheer on teammates or for anything else, Kildow said.
(Isn’t 41 years old almost too late to ski at the Olympics?)

Newly released video from Brown University shooting shows chaos and terror after fatal attack
News outlets across the U.S. and other countries had been requesting body camera video, audio clips and other public records shortly after the shooting took place in mid-December.
Feb. 9, 2026, 9:48 AM EST / Updated Feb. 9, 2026, 4:09 PM EST
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — In the chaotic moments after a gunman barged into Brown University and fatally shot two students and injured nine others,police officers responding to the unfolding tragedy briefly thought they'd captured the killer.
"Yes, the suspect's down in custody," a police dispatcher can be heard in newly released video from the Dec. 13 attack.
Some two minutes laterProvidence Police Lt. Patrick Potter, whose bodycam video was released Monday, delivered an update.
"We have no suspect yet," Potter is heard saying.
It would be another five days before detectives tracked down gunman Claudio Neves Valente to a storage unit in New Hampshire, where the 48-year-old former Ph.D. candidate was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The bodycam video was an eye-opening look at the frightening aftermath of the Brown campus shooting when police were searching room-by-room for the suspect, trying to comfort and care for terrified students, and trying to coordinate with campus police to get past locked doors.
"I need keys to the building," an officer can be heard saying at one point. "I need somebody from Brown University to get us in here."
Providence Mayor Brett Smiley said in a statement the city released the video to comply with requests from news outlets across the U.S. and other countries for body camera video, audio clips and other public records in connection with the shooting.
Smiley said they redacted the most graphic, violent images to avoid harming victimsand “maintain the trust we have built in our community.” (What a stupid excuse, maintain trust, when the community doesn’t trust them)
“It is incredibly important to me that the city of Providence remains fully transparent, accountable and compliant with the state’s Access to Public Records Act,” Smiley said in the statement. “We also know that the footage and audio we are required to release will likely be harmful and traumatizing for the victims, families and neighbors who are still trying to heal and recover from this incident.”
The newly released material includes audio of a campus police officer calling city police at 4:07 p.m. on the day of the carnage.
“This is Brown police. We have confirmed gunshots at 184 Hope Street,” the officer said.“We do have a victim but we do not know where they are.”(where is the Italian Mafia from Rhode Island when you need them?)
Four minutes later, campus police called back with an update: “We have a suspect description, wearing all black and a ski mask, unknown travel direction.”
Separately, the city released the body camera video of Potter, who was in charge of the initial response to the shooting.
It also shows, among other things, officers trying to find a safe spot to send the students evacuated from the building.
Scattered backpacks, gloves, books, and other items can be seen as officers search the building looking for a possible shooter and his victims.
These leaders sound retarded

Why didn’t the police ask for the public’s help the first day, isn’t that how they do it all the time.
Are they testing this as a soap opera, on how long people will listen or lose interest?
Who thought blocking the picture on both sides, in the video (or picture) and it was a great new way to see pictures or watch videos. It’s ugly, annoying to look at, and makes people have to put on glasses so they can see it!
There’s no aesthetics in doing that. It’s distracting and looks crappy.
