Trump’s Masterstroke? These Moves Could Make Iran and the Global Elites Irrelevant [WATCH]

/

Glenn Beck argued that the long-term geopolitical significance of the conflict involving Iran extends beyond military operations and nuclear concerns, saying a series of major pipeline and infrastructure projects could permanently reduce Tehran’s ability to influence global energy markets.

Beck began by discussing Iran’s military capabilities before shifting to a historical comparison.

“We don’t know about their nukes,” he said. “They’re now a defense supplier building really dangerous weapons in drones. We’re in the middle of a European war.”

He then introduced a historical example involving Denmark and control of the Baltic Sea.

“The map, which takes me to Denmark, 1429 to 1857,” Beck said. “I can’t believe we’re talking about Denmark.”

According to Beck, Denmark collected tolls from ships entering the Baltic Sea for more than four centuries because it controlled both sides of a strategic waterway.

“Every ship that entered the Baltic Sea paid a toll to the king of Denmark,” Beck said. “Not a tax on Danish goods, a tax on other people’s trade collected because Denmark happened to own both sides of that narrow piece of water into the Baltic.”

He explained that the fees, known as the Sound Dues, became a major source of revenue for Denmark.

“The sound dues is what they were called,” Beck said. “They ran from 1429, and at their height, they were a third of the Danish crown’s entire income.”

Beck noted that European nations continued paying the toll because the alternative was conflict.

“Europe grumbled, but they paid because the alternative was war, and the toll was cheaper than war.”

According to Beck, the United States eventually challenged that system.

“Who refused to pay it? Us, the United States,” he said. “We said, you know what? We’ve had enough of this. We’re not going to recognize your levy, and we’re not going to pay it.”

Beck said that dispute ultimately resulted in the Copenhagen Convention.

“So everybody went to the negotiating table,” he said. “That was the Copenhagen Convention, and it was a one-time buyout, and the permanent principle that a straight is not a possession.”

He said that principle later influenced the construction of the Kiel Canal.

“The Kiel Canal came later,” Beck said. “They build this canal because they knew somebody’s going to look at that strait at some point in the future and go, ‘You got to pay us a toll, and it’ll choke everything down.'”

According to Beck, the canal made that strategic choke point optional.

“So they made a canal, making the choke point optional,” he said. “That’s the key to this.”

Turning to current events, Beck argued that concerns over Iran’s nuclear program are only part of a larger strategic picture.

“I think it is misdirection,” he said. “I think it’s serious. I think it’s real. The nuke part of it. I think it’s real. I think the drones are a real part of this.”

He said he believes the larger issue involves energy infrastructure now under development in the Gulf region.

“I think the choke point and the canal that is being built right now in the Gulf… that I think is what this is all about.”

Beck pointed to several projects that he said would reduce reliance on the Strait of Hormuz over the next several years.

“There is an east-west line, a million and a half barrels a day in service by early 2027,” he said. “Saudi Arabia weighing 2 million barrel expansion to the Red Sea, Iraq back at the table on a Mediterranean corridor through Turkey.”

He also cited projections from Goldman Sachs.

“Goldman Sachs counts seven different projects now,” Beck said, “and puts Gulf pipeline capacity over 14 million barrels a day by 2028.”

According to Beck, those projects would allow much of the region’s oil exports to bypass areas vulnerable to Iranian interference.

“More than 60 percent of what those seven states exported before the war now moving in places Iran cannot touch with a speedboat or a mine.”

Beck argued that the strategy is designed to maintain oil exports while reducing Iran’s leverage over international trade.

“This is not being held hostage by crazy people trying to take them out,” he said. “But keep the oil running while we build an end to the choke point.”

He concluded by arguing that the long-term objective extends beyond military targets.

“The prize is the permanent expiration of Iran’s veto over the world economy,” Beck said. “That’s the only asset that ever made a broke, isolated, demographically hollowing theocracy into a power anyone had to consult.”

Senator Sheehy Drops Massive Truth Bombs on the Situation with Iran [WATCH]

/

Sen. Tim Sheehy of Montana delivered an emotional speech on the Senate floor, arguing that the Iranian regime has spent nearly five decades carrying out terrorism against Americans and others while successive U.S. administrations failed to hold it accountable.

Drawing on his military service, Sheehy said the threat posed by Iran extends beyond politics and has affected service members, their families, and civilians around the world.

Sheehy began by recalling a recent ceremony honoring fallen American troops.

“Yesterday, we saw the President of States and many others at Dover Air Force Base presiding over a ceremony that is very sacred to those of us who served,” he said, describing “a dignified return of remains from the war zone.”

Reflecting on his own military experience, Sheehy said he had participated in many of those ceremonies.

“I participated in many of those ceremonies myself, to include carrying friends of mine off the plane,” he said. Holding up a memorial bracelet, Sheehy added, “One of those is on this bracelet. He was cut in half by an Iranian EFP.”

Sheehy argued that Iran’s leadership does not distinguish between Americans based on politics, religion, or geography.

“This regime that we are fighting does not care about our partisan politics,” he said. “They don’t care who you voted for, who you pray to, or where you live.”

According to Sheehy, the regime has made its intentions clear through decades of violence.

“They want to kill all of us, and they don’t just say it; they actually do it, and they’ve been doing it for 47 years.”

Addressing criticism of U.S. military involvement, Sheehy said, “This is a war of choice. The Democrats are correct.” He immediately added that it “was begun by a radical, lunatic band of terrorists that took over a beautiful nation, 47 years ago.”

He said the regime seized power “with brutality, force, and savagery” and chose violence over improving the country.

“They didn’t free their people. They didn’t unleash the largest oil reserves in the world to build schools and bridges,” Sheehy said. “They took it over to murder their own people and to spread their disgusting ideology across the world.”

Sheehy argued that Iran’s actions over the years demonstrate its intentions.

“You don’t have to believe what they say,” he said. “You can simply watch what they’ve done.”

He cited attacks against civilians, families, and military personnel while describing what he called acts of extreme brutality committed by Iran-backed terrorists. He also said those responsible are celebrated rather than punished.

“They’ve done it to friends of mine,” Sheehy said. “They’ve done it to families who’ve been in this chamber.”

Sheehy criticized American elected officials whom he believes have minimized the threat.

“The fact that we sit here and listen to elected officials of this country defend these lunatics who want us all dead,” he said, adding, “they want all of us dead.”

He pointed to attacks including the 1983 Marine barracks bombing, the USS Cole bombing, and terrorist organizations such as Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis.

“These are not humanitarian freedom organizations; they are death-dealing cults,” Sheehy said. “They want all of us to die brutal deaths.”

Recalling additional cases involving Americans, Sheehy referenced CIA officer William Buckley and U.S. personnel captured by Iranian-backed forces, arguing their families have never received justice.

“These families have never gotten restitution,” he said. “Not a single president has ever stood up to them.”

Sheehy contrasted that record with President Donald Trump’s approach.

“There’s never been a single president who has stood up to Iran and hit back for 47 years?” he said.

He also criticized leaders from both political parties for, in his view, failing to support American troops during overseas conflicts.

“When you’re fighting for your country, you don’t care what party’s in office,” Sheehy said. “You’re fighting to defend your country.”

He said service members are discouraged when they see elected officials criticizing military efforts.

“You turn on the news and see your elected officials stabbing you in the back,” he said, “telling you that you’re failing.”

Sheehy argued that recent Iranian actions do not reflect strength.

“An occasional missile strike and boats in the straits-that’s not military strength,” he said. “Those are the flailings of a failing empire.”

He closed by urging lawmakers to think about the troops currently serving overseas rather than political considerations.

“I encourage our colleagues on both sides of the aisle, whatever is politically convenient, whatever plays well on Twitter or Facebook, think about the people who are deployed right now,” Sheehy said.

Concluding his remarks, Sheehy argued that Iran initiated the conflict decades ago and said the United States must ensure future generations do not face the same threat.

“We did not start a war with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard; they started it with us 47 years ago,” he said. “It’s time to fix this problem and make sure another generations of Americans does not have to fight this murderous, savage adversary.”

California Sheriff Slams Revolving Door After Convicted Killer Walks Free Repeatedly [WATCH]

/

Sacramento County Sheriff Jim Cooper is calling for changes to California law after describing what he said is a pattern of repeated arrests, releases, and missed court appearances involving a convicted killer who continues to face firearm-related arrests.

Cooper pointed to the case of Jerry Grover, who was convicted of murder and attempted murder at age 15. According to the sheriff, Grover was sent to juvenile hall rather than the California Youth Authority before eventually being released.

“Four years ago, Jerry Grover, then 15, was convicted for murder and attempted murder, sent to juvenile hall, not the California Youth Authority, but juvenile hall,” Cooper said.

After Grover’s release, Cooper said detectives with the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office repeatedly encountered him while he was allegedly carrying firearms.

“He gets out. My gang detectives contact him three times. Each time he had a firearm in his possession.”

Cooper said one of those encounters ended in a pursuit after Grover allegedly fled from law enforcement.

“One time he fled and crashed into an innocent individual’s vehicle.”

Despite the repeated arrests, Cooper said Grover was released after each case.

“Every time he either bailed out or was O.R.’d by the court.”

According to Cooper, Grover also failed to appear for multiple scheduled court proceedings.

“He failed to appear. He never showed up.”

Cooper said detectives eventually arrested Grover a fourth time after those missed court appearances.

“My detectives go and arrest him for a fourth time for those three failures to appear.”

He said Grover again attempted to flee from deputies despite already being on probation.

“He flees. The irony is, he’s on probation for murder.”

Cooper said deputies recovered multiple firearms during that arrest but that Grover was released once again.

“We arrest him with three firearms. He gets out. There’s no accountability.”

The sheriff argued that repeat offenders recognize the lack of consequences under the current system.

“These individuals know that. These kids know that.”

Cooper said Grover had already received what he viewed as a second chance following his original conviction.

“You know, you killed someone. You’re given a second chance, and you blow it. Yet you’re still out.”

He described the situation as an ongoing cycle that continues without meaningful consequences.

“It’s just repetitive. It goes on and on and on, and that is a classic example of stupidity. You keep doing the same thing.”

Cooper said the public and law enforcement officers have grown increasingly frustrated with the situation.

“The public’s fed up. I know I’m fed up. My detectives are fed up.”

He argued that lawmakers must make changes to address what he believes are shortcomings in the current legal system.

“But we have to change the laws.”

Cooper said he hopes people understand the level of concern expressed by law enforcement.

“I said the frustration. I hope you hear my voice. It’s not working. It has not worked.”

Looking ahead, Cooper warned that he fears the current pattern could lead to more violence.

“My fear is he takes someone else’s life, or engages in a gunfight with our deputies. That’s bound to happen. I’m not willing to risk it.”

Cooper noted that Grover is now 19 years old and questioned how many opportunities should be given to repeat offenders.

“The hard part is, and like I said, I just, just my emotion with this is just, how can this happen? He’s 19 years old. He was given a second chance. He doesn’t care, and you have individuals like that that don’t care. That should be locked up.”

He concluded by asking how many more chances the justice system should provide.

“He’s 19 now. How many more chances do we give Gary Grover, who’s willing to roll the dice that he doesn’t kill somebody else? I know I’m not.”

Scott Besent Completely Cooks Kamala and Buttigieg in Under a Minute [WATCH]

/

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent criticized former Vice President Kamala Harris and former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg during an interview with Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo, arguing that both should be evaluated based on their performance in office rather than identity.

The discussion began when Bartiromo referenced reports about Harris’ vice presidential selection process during the 2024 campaign.

“She wouldn’t take on Pete Buttigieg because he was gay, because she said it was a risk to have a running mate who was a gay man,” Bartiromo said before asking Bessent, “Your reaction?”

Bessent responded by outlining what he described as three conclusions he drew from the situation.

“Three things, Maria,” he said. “First, it shows her emphasis on identity politics, and the American people have moved on.”

Bessent also argued that the reported reasoning reflected Harris’ view of the electorate.

“Two, it shows how low regard she holds the American people,” he said. “That you know she was just a terrible candidate.”

He then shifted his focus to Buttigieg’s tenure leading the Department of Transportation, saying his record, rather than his personal identity, should have been the deciding factor.

“And three, you wouldn’t pick Pete Buttigieg because he might have been the worst transportation secretary in history,” Bessent said.

Drawing a comparison to his own role at the Treasury Department, Bessent praised Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy while criticizing the condition of the department he inherited.

“Like if I thought I was left a mess at Treasury, I can tell you your friend, my friend Sean Duffy, our great transportation secretary, Pete Buttigieg left him a mess.”

Bessent pointed to several areas that he said reflected problems within the nation’s transportation system.

“The the FAA is a disaster,” he said. “The Amtrak, you know, anything to do with transportation was woefully neglected over the past four years.”

He argued that public officials should be judged by their job performance rather than personal characteristics.

“So you know, she judges him on his identity, his sexuality,” Bessent said. “Let’s look and see whether he did a good job.”

Bessent said he believes evaluating public officials on merit provides a clearer measure of their performance.

“Let’s let’s look on merit,” he said. “and I can tell you, on merit he was a failure, and on merit she’s a failure.”

WATCH:

The exchange centered on Harris’ reported vice presidential deliberations and Bessent’s assessment of Buttigieg’s record as Transportation Secretary.

Throughout the interview, Bessent argued that identity should not outweigh performance when evaluating candidates or government officials, maintaining that both Harris and Buttigieg should be judged on what they accomplished while serving in public office.

The ‘Party of Democracy’ Keeps Installing Candidates While They Erase Their Own Voters [WATCH]

/

Political commentator Scott Jennings argued that recent actions by Democratic officials in Illinois, Maine, and during the 2024 election cycle contradict the party’s repeated claims of defending democracy. According to Jennings, Democratic leaders have increasingly relied on political maneuvering instead of allowing voters to choose their nominees.

Jennings opened by taking aim at what he described as one of the biggest contradictions in American politics. “There’s something happening here in Chicago that perfectly illustrates what I think is one of the greatest frauds in American politics right now,” he said, adding, “the fraud is this: the Democratic Party loves to call itself the party of democracy.”

He noted that Democrats frequently argue that “democracy is on the ballot” and regularly portray President Donald Trump as “a threat to democracy.” Jennings said those claims have become a central part of the party’s political message.

However, Jennings argued that the party has increasingly worked to place candidates on ballots “that weren’t actually voted into nominations by Democratic voters.” He pointed to what he described as similar situations involving Kamala Harris, developments in Maine involving Graham Platner and Troy Jackson, and an unfolding controversy in Illinois’ 4th Congressional District.

Jennings focused much of his criticism on the retirement of Rep. Jesus “Chuy” Garcia. He said Garcia “waited until the final hours of the filing period to announce that he was going to retire,” allowing his chief of staff, Patty Garcia, to file just before the deadline.

Describing the move as a “quick switch in and out,” Jennings said, “They didn’t tip off anybody else. Nobody else had time to mount a campaign because of this old switcheroo move.”

According to Jennings, the result was that Patty Garcia became “the only Democrat on the primary ballot,” not because Democratic voters selected her, “but because the incumbent and the Chicago political machine effectively chose his replacement, whether the voters liked it or not.”

Jennings added that the controversy extended beyond Republican criticism, saying, “It was such an outrageous move that even the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives voted to rebuke Garcia.”

He said two Democrats, Chicago Alderman Byron Lopez and political activist Mayra Macius, responded by launching independent campaigns to give voters another option in November. Jennings emphasized that neither candidate represents conservative politics.

“Now, let me just be clear about this district,” he said. “It’s a Democrat district. These people I’m talking about are not conservatives.” He noted that “Lopez is a socialist alderman,” while Macius “once ran the Latino Victory Project, very liberal organization.”

Jennings said Illinois election law required Patty Garcia to collect only 697 valid signatures to appear on the Democratic ballot, while Lopez and Macius each needed 10,816 signatures to qualify as independents. Both candidates submitted the maximum 17,304 signatures, he said.

According to Jennings, operatives tied to the Garcia political organization challenged those petitions. “After 1000s of names were invalidated,” he said, Macius “was ruled a little over 1000 short,” while Lopez “was about 1200 short.”

Jennings noted that “the Illinois State Board of Elections unanimously threw them both off the ballot.”

While making clear he was not endorsing either independent candidate, Jennings argued that voters should have been allowed to make the final decision.

“I’m not here to endorse either candidacy,” he said. “You don’t have to support a candidate to believe that voters should be allowed to choose the candidates and the winners.”

Jennings argued that “Democracy does not mean protecting only the choices you like; it means trusting the people,” adding that Democratic leaders “no longer trust the people. Specifically, they no longer trust their people.”

He concluded by arguing that Democratic leaders have repeatedly worked around voters, citing President Joe Biden, Graham Platner, the Illinois congressional race, and efforts involving President Donald Trump’s place on the 2024 presidential ballot.

“The party of democracy likes to go around the voters,” Jennings said. “What they’re doing is the opposite of democracy.”

He ended by questioning which political party currently places more faith in voters.

“Who trusts the people?” Jennings asked. “It’s not the Democrats these days, no matter how they label themselves.”

Big Tech’s Banking Grab Could Hit Your Wallet Next: Grant Stinchfield [WATCH]

/

Grant Stinchfield criticized what he described as government intervention in a dispute between financial institutions and major technology companies, arguing that private businesses should negotiate the cost of accessing banking data without federal involvement.

Stinchfield centered his remarks on Section 1033, saying the issue has received little public attention despite its potential impact on consumers.

“Big tech is at it again. Multi-billion-dollar companies looking for another free ride while everyone else picks up the tab. This fight is over something called Section 1033. Most people have never heard of it, but you need to know what it is.”

He said companies including PayPal, Venmo, cryptocurrency platforms, and budgeting applications want access to customers’ banking information with consumer permission.

“Here’s the deal: companies like PayPal, Venmo, crypto platforms, and budgeting apps want access to your banking data. That’s fine if you authorize it. Well, then they should get it.”

According to Stinchfield, his objection is not to authorized data sharing but to who pays for the systems that make that access possible.

“The problem is this: they don’t want to pay for the access to the data, and this is where you will all get hosed. Banks have to build and maintain the secure systems that make all of this work. They pay for cybersecurity. They pay for the infrastructure. They pay every time these tech companies constantly ping their systems for data, and it isn’t cheap.”

Stinchfield argued that the federal government should not require banks to provide that access without compensation.

“Now the government, our government, is inserting itself into a battle that should be between the banks and big tech. Instead, anti-free market government overlords want to tell the banks they must provide that data for free. Now that’s bogus because big tech already makes billions of dollars each year. These companies can afford to pay their share.”

He also argued that any additional costs imposed on banks would ultimately be passed on to consumers through banking fees and reduced services.

“And consider this: if banks are forced to absorb these costs, who do you think is really going to foot the bill? You will. Those costs won’t disappear. They’ll show up as higher fees, fewer free services, and more costs passed directly to consumers. And you can’t blame the banks for doing that. They’re in the business to make money, after all.”

Stinchfield also linked the issue to his criticism of major technology companies over past content moderation decisions affecting conservatives.

“So let me make one more point about the big tech freeloaders. These are the same companies that spent years censoring conservative voices, suspending accounts, debanking them because they don’t agree with your right to free speech. Now we’re supposed to force the traditional banking system to subsidize these same companies. Give me a break.”

He concluded by arguing that disputes over banking data access should be resolved through negotiations between private companies rather than government mandates.

“This isn’t about protecting consumers. It’s about Washington forcing one private company to subsidize another private company, if big tech profits from your banking data, they ought to help pay for the system that gives them access to it. In the end, let the free market settle it instead of government picking winners and losers. Big tech’s big government protection needs to end. No more free rides. Not for big tech. Not for anyone.”

Wisconsin Teen Confronts School Board Over Title IX Violations and Bathroom Policies [WATCH]

/

A Wisconsin high school senior is standing up to her district’s leadership after officials allowed a biological male into the girls’ bathrooms and locker rooms.

Her name is Ella Frei, and at just seventeen years old, she has shown more courage and common sense than the adults running her school.

During a fiery school board meeting in New Richmond, she accused the district of violating Title IX by letting gender politics override the privacy and safety of female students.

Frei competes in volleyball and long jump, but the issue facing her is not about sports, it is about dignity.

She told board members that girls are being forced into what she described as “humiliation rituals” just to use the restroom.

Maps have reportedly been taped up in hallways showing girls where they can go if they are uncomfortable changing or using the restroom next to a male student.

Her reaction was simple and firm: this is unacceptable.

According to Frei, the district’s June 30 pledge to fix the situation turned out to be a broken promise.

“This district chooses not to protect girls,” she told the school board plainly.

“A boy is in our locker room.”

There was no sugarcoating it and no hesitation.

She said most girls in the school agree with her, but many are too afraid to speak up or have simply stopped using the bathrooms altogether during the day.

Frei described the scene as “pretty gross,” adding that no girl should have to map her way to a remote bathroom just to preserve privacy.

She called on the board to provide a separate space for the male student instead of forcing the rest of the girls to adapt.

Her demands were clear: respect the rights of female students under federal law and return a measure of decency to the school environment.

This was not Frei’s first time taking on the board. She has appeared at multiple meetings, consistently pressing the issue despite backlash.

She said she has faced online harassment for speaking out and, shockingly, even bullying from some teachers.

According to her, the district has since retained lawyers to handle the situation, an indication that school officials are more concerned with liability than leadership.

Parents packed into the board meeting Tuesday night, visibly frustrated over the district’s silence.

Members of the board sat through Frei’s speech without comment, offering no reassurance or policy change.

The district has refused to issue any public statement explaining its position, leaving parents and students without clear answers.

Frei’s confrontation comes as the national debate over gender and privacy in schools intensifies.

Just weeks ago, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that states may limit girls’ sports teams to biological females.

The 6-3 decision focused on athletics, but it reignited discussion about how Title IX applies to bathrooms and locker rooms.

To many parents, this ruling reaffirmed what should have been common sense all along: sex and gender identity are not interchangeable when it comes to fairness and safety.

For young women like Frei, that decision represents a spark of hope.

She is demanding that her district follow the same logic and put female students first.

WATCH:

But while federal courts may be offering clarity, local school officials often seem more afraid of political blowback from activists than of violating the law itself.

Critics of the school’s policy argue that district leadership has allowed ideology to trump reason.

Title IX was written to protect women and girls, not erase their rights.

What once paved the way for generations of female athletes is now being twisted to promote agendas that ignore biology entirely.

Frei’s situation reveals how far this confusion has trickled down, reaching even small-town schools in middle America.

Many in the community have applauded Frei’s courage for doing what the adults will not, standing up for girls’ privacy.

Her appeal was not hateful, it was honest.

She spoke for countless students who do not want to be humiliated in order to simply change for gym class.

Her determination to defend herself and her peers shows that moral clarity is not something one learns from a diversity seminar, but something born of conviction.

The longer school officials hide behind silence, the more parents are losing patience.

They want leadership, not legal maneuvers.

They want educators who protect children, not activists pursuing social experiments in their halls.

Frei has reminded them that a single voice grounded in truth can cut through all the politically correct noise.

Her stand has become a rallying point for those who believe Title IX should still mean what it did when it was passed in 1972: equal opportunity and privacy for girls.

If the district does not act soon, it may find that the courage of one student has awakened an entire community that is tired of excuses and ready to defend the rights of their daughters.

Migrant Who Killed Three Over Parking Dispute Blames America for His Murders [WATCH]

Migrant Who Killed Three Over Parking Dispute Blames America for His Murders [WATCH]

/

A Minnesota apartment complex became the scene of a horrifying triple murder after an Ethiopian migrant allegedly gunned down three staff members, then bizarrely blamed “the American system” for his actions.

The suspect, 30 year old Tsegaab Binessu, faces three counts of murder after authorities say he shot and killed Nansi Fuentes Zambrano, Dena Silcox, and Adam Wilwerding on Monday in St. Paul.

According to police reports, Binessu had recently quit his job as a truck driver and was unemployed.

He had demanded to cancel his sixty five dollar per month parking contract at the apartment complex, claiming he no longer needed it since he planned to join the Navy.

When staff informed him that he could not cancel the agreement due to its renewal terms, prosecutors say he responded with brutal violence.

Surveillance footage from the leasing office shows Binessu calmly speaking with staff members before suddenly lifting his shirt, pulling out a gun, and opening fire.

Wilwerding was hit six times, followed by another six rounds aimed at Silcox.

The video cut off soon after as Binessu walked out of frame, moments before additional shots and screams were heard.

In total, investigators collected twenty one shell casings from the crime scene.

Police later learned of his confession from his own roommate, who told officers that Binessu admitted to killing the three workers.

Not long after, he was located and arrested in Virginia, Minnesota, where he reportedly offered no resistance to authorities.

When questioned by investigators, Binessu used the opportunity not to express remorse, but to vent frustration against the country that had given him refuge.

He complained of being “a victim of the American system,” alleging that government bureaucracy had kept him from bringing his wife and children from Ethiopia for seven years and that the system was to blame for his divorce.

He also accused the apartment management of racism and xenophobia, claiming without evidence that they singled him out because of his background.

It was a familiar tune of self pity that could almost have been lifted from a left wing activist handbook.

Rather than take responsibility for his own murderous choices, he ranted about imaginary oppression.

Ramsey County Attorney John Choi released a statement calling the crime “shocking” and promised to pursue justice to the fullest extent possible.

“This shocking act of violence has shaken our community, and we thank the Saint Paul Police Department and other assisting police agencies for their quick work to bring the suspect into custody,” he said.

“Our hearts go out to the family and friends of the three victims who lost their lives, and we will do everything in our power to hold the accused accountable.”

While local officials sounded the right notes about accountability, what has many Americans alarmed is how quickly a migrant who enjoyed the benefits of life in the United States could turn so violently against it.

It raises tough questions about the competence of a system that welcomes individuals who clearly harbor deep resentment toward the very nation that took them in.

WATCH:

This tragedy also highlights the growing pattern of entitlement and animosity among some newcomers who view America not as a place of opportunity but as a target for blame.

Instead of gratitude, they parrot the language of victimhood that progressives have spent years embedding into every cultural conversation.

That attitude was on full display in Binessu’s police interview, where the accused killer painted himself as the oppressed rather than the oppressor.

Meanwhile, three innocent people are dead because a man refused to pay a parking fee.

The kind of disregard for human life on display would shock most decent people, yet the political left’s obsession with moral relativism often creates precisely this type of mindset.

A refusal to hold individuals responsible for their behavior is a recipe for chaos.

Residents in St. Paul are understandably shaken.

Apartment staffers who once helped manage routine complaints now have to mourn friends gunned down in their own workplace.

Their families are left to pick up the pieces while the accused sits in jail, pointing fingers at everything and everyone except himself.

Prosecutors are seeking the maximum penalty under Minnesota law, with each murder charge carrying a forty year sentence.

Binessu is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday for his first hearing.

For the victims’ loved ones, the road to justice will be long, and no court verdict can undo the devastation caused by his cold blooded choice.

The case stands as yet another condemnation of the failed approach to immigration and accountability in America.

When foreign nationals can commit atrocities and then lecture the country about how unfair it is, something is fundamentally broken.

The victims deserve better, and so does the nation that continues to absorb the costs of imported chaos.

AZ Medicaid Nightmare: Whistleblower Exposes Grisly Death Toll, Billions Stolen From Fake Rehab Scam [WATCH]

AZ Medicaid Nightmare: Whistleblower Exposes Grisly Death Toll, Billions Stolen From Fake Rehab Scam [WATCH]

/

A stunning and deeply disturbing scandal has erupted in Arizona, where whistleblowers and advocates are exposing what appears to be one of the largest Medicaid fraud schemes in American history.

At the center of the horror are fake rehabilitation homes that allegedly lured vulnerable Native Americans with promises of treatment but instead drugged, imprisoned, and exploited them for billions of dollars in fraudulent Medicaid payouts.

According to new allegations, the total amount of fraud may have reached up to 12 billion dollars.

The shocking part is not only the sheer scale of the stolen money but the staggering human toll, as as many as two thousand Native Americans are feared dead or missing.

This was not a theft on paper; it was an organized, human tragedy carried out under government noses.

Whistleblowers have described how recruiters drove through tribal lands in unmarked white vans, preying on people struggling with addiction.

They allegedly promised legitimate treatment in Phoenix, but once the victims entered the vans, they were given drugs like fentanyl or methamphetamine and taken to fraudulent homes that billed Medicaid while offering no real medical care.

For the criminals, addiction was a revenue source and every new “patient” meant easy cash from the taxpayer.

According to Navajo advocate Reva Stewart, the scheme became personal when her own cousin fell victim.

“They told her she would go to Phoenix for the day and take her home. All throughout the ride they gave her alcohol,” Stewart said.

When her cousin tried to leave, she was given a fentanyl pill and told to “find her way home.”

For Stewart, the experience exposed a sinister network targeting her community under the guise of public health.

Stewart soon realized that white vans had been seen cruising around other tribal areas where people had gone missing.

The pattern was undeniable, and the connections pointed straight back to a multimillion dollar Medicaid con that the Arizona government had apparently known about since at least 2019.

A civil lawsuit has now accused state officials of turning a blind eye while up to 7,000 Native Americans were funneled into the fake sober living homes.

The whistleblower accounts paint a nightmare scenario.

Patients trapped inside these facilities were allegedly locked in rooms and watched constantly by security cameras.

They were kept addicted intentionally so that each day could be billed as a new round of “treatment.”

The result was a conveyor belt of despair that churned out death, addiction, and missing persons, all while lining the pockets of those running the scheme.

WATCH:

Equally alarming is how such massive abuse could persist under the supervision of state and federal agencies that were supposed to safeguard these vulnerable populations.

Arizona’s Democratic leadership had access to warnings as far back as 2019, yet the fraud ballooned unchecked for years.

When the state finally began taking action, billions were already gone and human lives were devastated.

In a separate but related case, 22 defendants were indicted in Phoenix in 2025 for allegedly stealing 60 million dollars from Medicaid funds that were supposed to support sober living programs.

The charges included theft, conspiracy, and money laundering.

According to the indictment, Happy House Behavioral Health billed the state for fake services, including for clients who were deceased, hospitalized, or even incarcerated.

The group also allegedly funneled millions through a church that later sent money overseas to an entity in Rwanda.

The disturbing overlap between these cases suggests that the Medicaid system, particularly under Arizona’s Democratic administration, was so poorly managed that bad actors had essentially free rein to invent phony treatment centers and profit from human misery.

What should have been a program to heal addiction became an industry of exploitation justified by social service rhetoric.

Whistleblower testimony compares the experience of victims to human trafficking more than healthcare.

Doors were reportedly locked from the outside, and patients were monitored around the clock.

Some victims escaped only by smashing windows or scaling fences, while others disappeared entirely.

Reports claim that people who tried to run were shot at and that some victims may have been buried in unmarked graves, though these allegations are still being investigated.

The federal government has remained largely silent on the growing scandal. Meanwhile, the families of missing victims continue to search for answers.

Many conservative activists are demanding that federal and state officials face accountability for neglecting oversight and allowing corruption to fester inside a massive government-funded program.

They argue that the same system that Democrats constantly defend as the solution to America’s healthcare problems has again proven itself ripe for abuse.

This horrifying Medicaid fraud is not just about financial waste.

It represents one of the gravest betrayals of public trust in recent memory.

Vulnerable people entrusted to public agencies for help were instead enslaved by greed, and their suffering was hidden beneath layers of bureaucratic complacency.

The silence from national media outlets only adds insult to injury.

If confirmed, this scandal will go down as one of the greatest health policy failures in Arizona history, enabled by political leadership that was either asleep at the wheel or complicit in looking the other way.

A crime of this magnitude should trigger outrage across the political spectrum, but predictably, Washington remains quiet.

For now, whistleblowers like Reva Stewart continue to speak the truth, driven not by politics but by the desperate hope that someone will finally be held accountable.

Epstein Associate and Model Scout Found Dead Amid Mounting Questions Over Global Trafficking Network [WATCH]

/

Another figure linked to Jeffrey Epstein has met a grim and convenient end.

Daniel Siad, a French modeling scout whose name appeared thousands of times in federal Epstein files, was discovered dead in his home outside Paris this week. Prosecutors in Nanterre confirmed his death, adding that an autopsy is underway to determine what happened.

The man was in his late sixties, though authorities were unsure of his exact age.

For anyone following the years of scandal surrounding Epstein, Siad’s death feels like another piece of the puzzle quietly vanishing.

The once influential scout was accused of helping Epstein traffic young women across borders under the guise of fashion and model recruitment.

He denied every claim and publicly insisted he had no idea of Epstein’s predatory activities.

WATCH:

Yet, the fact that his name appeared more than two thousand times in the Department of Justice’s Epstein files tells a story of deep involvement.

Investigators said Siad and Epstein maintained communication for roughly a decade, only ending their exchanges shortly before Epstein’s own death in that Manhattan jail cell in 2019.

Emails recovered from the files reveal the nature of their disturbing correspondence.

In one message, Siad boasted of discovering a “20-year-old who looks younger” from Latvia, a note Epstein received a year after his criminal conviction in Florida for soliciting prostitution.

In another email from 2014, Siad compared his work to fishing.

“In this business I feel like fisherman, sometimes I catch quick, sometimes no fish,” he wrote.

Epstein’s reply sounded eerily friendly for a man already convicted as a sex predator.

“I value your friendship,” he wrote, offering reimbursement for Siad’s time and trouble.

Siad’s lawyer told Reuters he was never a formal target of judicial proceedings, a curious detail considering his proximity to one of the most notorious human traffickers of our time.

In February, Siad attempted to clear his name in an interview on French television, saying Epstein had “used my trust” and that he had “nothing to blame myself for.”

He painted himself as a naïve figure caught up in a world he did not understand, describing his background as Kabyle, born French, and later a Swedish citizen.

Those comments did little to quiet the accusations.

Two women in particular came forward this year to allege he had groomed them, either for Epstein or for other powerful men in the modeling world.

One, former Swedish model Ebba Karlsson, accused Siad of raping her at age 20 and preparing her to meet Gerald Marie, another high-level figure in fashion accused of assault.

Another woman, identified only as Juliette, told reporters she encountered Siad in 2004 when she was 21.

She said he coaxed her into traveling to New York for what she was told could be a modeling opportunity.

Instead, she described a harrowing experience that echoes the pattern seen in Epstein’s other alleged victims.

Upon arrival, she met Epstein, who immediately requested her passport, a move she compared to “hostage taking.”

Juliette said Epstein later gave her cash and a limo ride to go shopping, but when she returned the following day, things grew sinister.

She recalled being shown photos of women’s bodies and taken into a bedroom.

Realizing the danger, she told him firmly she would not comply with any sexual advance.

Epstein, she said, groped her anyway and offered her a job as a party escort before she demanded her passport back and fled the country.

Such stories highlight just how wide Epstein’s network of enablers extended.

Siad’s name was already mentioned by another Epstein associate, modeling boss Jean Luc Brunel, who himself was accused of recruiting girls for Epstein before being found dead in a French jail cell in 2022.

Two men connected to the same trafficking ring, both conveniently dead, both carrying secrets that might have clarified who else was involved.

Victims and their attorneys are hardly shocked by Siad’s sudden death.

Many have long said the Epstein operation was protected by the world’s elites who used their influence to shield themselves while others took the fall.

Stan Pottinger, who represents multiple Epstein victims, once described Siad as a recruiter and said he had direct contact with him.

Pottinger called the entire network “a global ring that mixed fashion, finance, and politics.”

Authorities have not determined whether foul play was involved in Siad’s death, and they are not yet calling it suspicious.

But the timing is hard to ignore. Once again, another potential witness, another source of information that might have helped expose the other elite figures in Epstein’s world, is gone for good.

As with Epstein and Brunel, the official line will likely focus on the autopsy and standard procedures.

Yet to many observers, the pattern looks familiar.

People tied to this network have a strange way of disappearing before they can talk.

For Epstein’s victims, it is a reminder that justice remains out of reach, while the powerful names that once flew on his private jet continue to enjoy silence and protection.
