Michigan Sheriff Drops Bombshell on Alleged Noncitizen Voter Registration Scheme [WATCH]

Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf says a confidential source inside the Michigan Secretary of State’s office has provided information alleging that non-citizens can be automatically added to the state’s voter rolls when they update their addresses, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.

Leaf discussed the allegations on Aug. 18, 2026, saying the information came from a whistleblower who works for the Michigan Secretary of State’s office.

The claims center on the state’s customer and automotive records system and its connection to voter registration procedures.

According to Leaf’s account, the whistleblower said non-citizens are automatically registered to vote when they change their address through the state system.

The system allegedly sends a message congratulating the individual and informing that person that they have been registered to vote.

The allegations have not been independently established in the material provided, and they concern the operation of Michigan’s voter-registration system rather than proof that any particular non-citizen actually cast a ballot.

Leaf said the whistleblower brought evidence to a supervisor. According to the sheriff, the supervisor responded that county clerks would identify and remove people who were ineligible to vote.

Leaf disputes that explanation. He said county clerks receive access to the Qualified Voter File, or QVF, only after the Secretary of State’s office has already registered an individual.

He further claimed that the QVF does not provide a citizenship-status flag that would allow clerks to easily identify non-citizens.

The sheriff also alleged that once someone is placed on the voter rolls, that individual can request a mail-in ballot or vote in person using an identification card. According to Leaf, polling locations do not independently verify citizenship status.

The allegations have prompted Leaf to refer the matter to the U.S. Department of Justice. He said his office is seeking an investigation into possible violations of federal law, including 18 U.S.C. § 611, which addresses voting by certain non-citizens.

Leaf also said the issue could extend beyond elections because Michigan’s voter-registration records are used in determining jury pools. He is asking the Michigan Legislature to examine the alleged registration process and take action.

The sheriff encouraged anyone with additional evidence concerning the allegations to contact his office or their local sheriff. He closed his appeal by saying:

“You know this is wrong, it’s time to act.”

Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson is also a central figure in the dispute.

The allegations concern systems administered by the Secretary of State’s office, but the material provided does not establish that Benson personally directed the alleged registration activity or that she was aware of the whistleblower’s claims.

Leaf has previously been involved in Michigan election-related investigations and disputes. His latest allegations add another issue to the continuing debate over voter-list maintenance, citizenship verification and election administration in the state.

The controversy also comes as national lawmakers continue debating whether voters should be required to provide proof of citizenship when registering or voting.

Supporters of such requirements argue that election officials should have clear procedures for confirming voter eligibility. Opponents have raised concerns about administrative burdens and access to the ballot.

For now, the allegations described by Leaf remain allegations awaiting investigation.

His referral to the Justice Department could provide an opportunity for federal authorities to examine the claims, review the relevant state systems, and determine whether any laws were violated.

The matter also puts renewed attention on a basic election-administration question: how Michigan identifies eligible voters and ensures that people who do not meet the legal requirements are not placed on the rolls or used in jury selection.

Those questions are likely to remain in the spotlight as state officials, lawmakers, and federal investigators consider the claims raised by the Barry County sheriff.

Dan Bongino vs. Joe Kent: The “Blocked Investigation” Narrative Just Got Exposed [WATCH]

Former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino pushed back against claims that the FBI prevented former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent from investigating alleged foreign connections to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, arguing that the dispute reflects a misunderstanding of the National Counterterrorism Center’s legal authority.

During a recent broadcast, Bongino referenced social media posts claiming the FBI blocked Kent from pursuing foreign leads after the case was transferred to state authorities.

“I saw this X post this morning, and I thought to myself, How many suckers are going to continue to believe this?”

He then quoted the online claims.

“Investigation into foreign involvement in Charlie Kirk’s assassination blocked by the FBI.”

Bongino continued by reading allegations that FBI Director Kash Patel prevented Kent from pursuing the matter.

“Kash Patel blocked Joe Kent, former director of counterterrorism, from investigating the foreign leads into Charlie’s assassination.”

He also referenced the source of those claims.

“I trust Joe Kent. That’s really great. Why would the FBI block this? Joe Kent tells Jimmy Dore.”

Bongino then summarized the allegation.

“Jimmy Dore, here we go. Isn’t he like a comedian? It’s like a comedian, right? That he was at NCTC, Joe, and he was blocked from investigating Charlie Kirk’s killing after the FBI said it had everything it needed, the case would be transferred to state authorities.”

According to Bongino, the issue centers on the legal responsibilities assigned to the National Counterterrorism Center.

“Okay. Folks, I’m going to make this really simple for you.”

He argued that the discussion comes down to a straightforward factual question.

“So again, this is that point of the show where we’re reaching a truth red line. If you’re not interested in the truth, please stop now, because this is going to be really painful.”

Bongino compared the issue to a simple mathematical fact.

“There’s nothing you can say to dispute the fact that 3 + 3 = 6, no matter how hard you try, okay?”

He maintained that Kent is describing investigative powers that the National Counterterrorism Center does not possess.

“Joe Kent is continuing to insist he was blocked from doing something he’s not authorized to do.”

According to Bongino, the central question is whether Kent had any legal investigative authority while serving at the NCTC.

“I can’t think of a simpler example.”

Bongino said he asked an artificial intelligence program to summarize the distinction between the FBI and the NCTC.

“I’ll get to the I just put it in ChatGPT to make it really easy in case you think like I’m making this up.”

He then explained the legal authority he believes would exist if Kent had actually been serving as an investigator on the case.

“So if Joe was an investigator into the case that was authorized to investigate the case, then he should have subpoena power or something, correct?”

According to Bongino, that authority does not exist within the National Counterterrorism Center.

“But because NCTC is not an investigative body, I just put this simple question in to help you guys.”

He summarized the explanation he received.

“ChatGPT’s like, in case you’re stupid, it doesn’t say that, but like, here in shorthand: FBI is the investigative agency with compulsory legal authorities. NCTC is there for intelligence fusion and interagency counterterrorism coordination.”

Bongino argued that distinction resolves the controversy.

“Can we put flags in the chat? Just put them in in advance, because this is the most red flaggy red flag ever.”

He concluded by saying he believes the facts support his position.

“You want to start a fight with us, we always win. The numbers don’t work for you, and they never will. Either do the facts.”

Bongino finished by reiterating his confidence in his interpretation of the agencies’ respective legal authorities.

“So we’re up two to nothing. Facts in our favor, numbers in our favor. You want to keep messing around, we’re going to keep making you look stupid.”

Treasury Yields Reach Generational Highs as National Debt Races Toward 40 Trillion [WATCH]

U.S. Treasury yields have climbed to multi-decade highs as investors weigh the nation’s rapidly expanding debt, persistent inflation concerns, and large federal budget deficits, as reported by Fox Business.

The U.S. national debt is approaching $40 trillion, increasing pressure on financial markets as the federal government continues borrowing to cover the gap between spending and revenue.

The Congressional Budget Office, a nonpartisan federal agency, projects the government will run a budget deficit of roughly $2.1 trillion during the current fiscal year.

Recent Treasury auctions highlighted the changing environment for government borrowing. A sale of 10-year Treasury notes last week cleared at a high yield of 4.683%, the highest level reached in 19 years.

A separate auction of 30-year Treasury bonds produced a yield of 5.216%, marking a 25-year high.

Despite those elevated yields, investor demand for Treasurys has remained relatively steady.

Markets have been watching for signs that investors might demand substantially higher compensation to hold U.S. government debt because of concerns about federal spending, inflation and the nation’s long-term fiscal position.

Analysts said recent auctions did not show evidence of an abrupt deterioration in demand from either domestic or foreign buyers.

There also has not been a clear indication that so-called bond vigilantes are aggressively selling Treasurys.

The term generally refers to investors who respond to concerns about fiscal policy or inflation by selling government bonds and demanding higher yields.

One reason U.S. debt continues to attract buyers is that Treasury yields remain comparatively attractive against government debt issued by other developed nations, including Japan.

Jim Barnes, director of fixed income at Bryn Mawr Trust in Pennsylvania, said in a Reuters report that the “appetite for Treasurys is still there and it’s just a matter of – at what yield,” adding that the “10-year at close to 5% and the 30-year at multi-decade highs will attract more buyers for risk-free Treasurys.”

Treasuries are generally viewed as “risk-free” because investors consider the possibility of a formal U.S. government default to be extremely low.

The federal government has taxing authority and controls the nation’s money supply through the Federal Reserve. That does not eliminate other investment risks, however, including the effects of changing inflation and interest rates.

Higher Treasury yields can also affect Americans outside the bond market.

The 10-year Treasury yield is an important benchmark for mortgage rates, which generally move in the same direction.

Higher mortgage rates can increase monthly payments for prospective homebuyers and may discourage homeowners with lower-rate existing mortgages from selling. Higher borrowing costs can also weigh on construction activity.

Other consumer loans, including auto loans and fixed-rate borrowing, can become more expensive as market rates rise, although the effect does not always occur immediately or move in lockstep.

Credit card rates are more closely tied to banks’ prime rates, which generally follow Federal Reserve policy.

The government’s own borrowing costs are also affected. When Treasury yields rise, the federal government generally pays more to service its outstanding debt, potentially adding to future deficits and creating another challenge for a country already carrying an enormous balance.

The Congressional Budget Office projected earlier this year that net interest costs on the federal debt will exceed $1 trillion in fiscal year 2026.

Those costs are expected to equal about 3.3% of gross domestic product and nearly 14% of total federal spending this year.

The pressure is projected to increase over the coming decade. According to the CBO’s 10-year budget and economic outlook, annual federal interest costs could reach $2.1 trillion by fiscal year 2036.

At that point, interest payments would equal approximately 4.6% of GDP and account for about 19% of federal spending.

For investors, the recent Treasury auctions underscore a straightforward reality: Washington’s borrowing needs remain enormous, but the market continues to demand a price for financing them.

With deficits measured in the trillions and interest costs moving higher, the government’s debt burden is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.

Byron Donalds’ Florida Victory Leaves Democrats With a Tough Story to Explain [WATCH]

Commentator Jeffery Mead argued that Rep. Byron Donalds’ victory in Florida’s Republican gubernatorial primary challenges longstanding claims that the Republican Party is inherently hostile toward Black Americans, contending that the election demonstrates Republican voters prioritize shared political beliefs over race.

Following Donalds’ primary victory, the Florida congressman thanked supporters for their efforts throughout the campaign.

“We’ve been crisscrossing Florida. We’ve been knocking hundreds of thousands of doors, taking our message to all Floridians, and tonight, because of your sweat, because of your hard work, we have won a massive victory.”

Mead used Donalds’ nomination as the starting point for a broader discussion about race and partisan politics in the United States.

“Okay, so if you don’t know who that is, that’s Byron Donalds, and the Republicans in Florida just nominated him to be the governor of Florida. He’s the Republican choice for governor.”

According to Mead, the result conflicts with accusations he says have been made about the Republican Party for years.

“And here’s what I find interesting about this: We’ve spent years hearing that Republicans are racist and hate Black people due to the color of their skin.”

He argued that this message has been repeatedly directed toward Black voters.

“You know they don’t like you, right? You know they’re not for you, right?”

Mead then pointed to President Donald Trump’s endorsement of Donalds during the primary campaign.

“Let’s just think about this. Donald Trump endorsed a Black man to run the state that he lives in.”

He also noted that Florida is widely viewed as a Republican-leaning state.

“He also endorsed that Black man to essentially run a GOP stronghold at this point.”

According to Mead, Republican primary voters reinforced that endorsement by choosing Donalds as their nominee.

“Republicans then also agreed that they wanted him to run their state—a Black man.”

Mead argued that the outcome undermines the narrative he believes Democrats have promoted.

“And it absolutely destroys the narrative of Republicans hate Black people.”

He continued by saying that, in his view, widespread racial hostility within the Republican Party would have made Donalds’ victory impossible.

“If Republicans truly hated Black people, there is no way in hell Byron Donalds would have just won the Republican primary for a GOP stronghold.”

Addressing Black voters directly, Mead argued that they should reconsider that perception.

“So if you’re Black and you’re watching this, that whole they don’t like you cause you’re Black doesn’t hold up.”

He added:

“It’s a bunch of crap.”

Mead acknowledged that some Black Americans genuinely believe Republicans are hostile toward them but argued that Democratic politicians reinforce those beliefs for political purposes.

“There’s a couple of things. A bunch of Black people are ignorant and truly believe that Republicans hate Black people, but Democrats also lean into that ignorance and manipulate Black people into staying with Democrats by tricking them into thinking or helping them continue to believe that Republicans are against them.”

According to Mead, the Republican Party itself should not be defined as racist.

“The reality is, the Republican Party is not racist.”

He acknowledged that individual Republicans may hold racist views but distinguished those individuals from the party as a whole.

“Are there racist Republican individuals? Yes, absolutely. But the Republican Party as a whole is not racist.”

Mead encouraged more Black Americans to reconsider what he described as outdated assumptions.

“More Black people need to wake up to this reality.”

Returning to Donalds’ primary victory, Mead argued that the election serves as evidence for his position.

“Again, truly, if the Republican Party was racist, there is no way Byron Donalds would have just won that election.”

He pointed to the number of Republican voters who supported Donalds.

“Hundreds of thousands of white Republicans went out and voted for him.”

According to Mead, Republican voters are more interested in shared values than racial identity.

“This just shows what I’ve known all along. The vast majority of Republicans are not worried about your skin color; they’re worried about your thought process, what your beliefs are, what your values are, who you align yourself with. That’s more what they care about.”

He argued that the belief Republicans oppose Black Americans because of race no longer reflects reality.

“It’s an outdated mindset to sit here and continue to think that they’re obsessed with race and they don’t like Black people because Black people are Black. Not the case.”

Mead also referenced his own online audience before returning to Donalds’ victory.

“If that was the case, I wouldn’t have millions of followers across different platforms, but that pales in comparison to the result we’ve seen here with Byron Donalds.”

He concluded by arguing that the Florida primary result contradicts accusations that the Republican Party is institutionally racist.

“This makes it abundantly clear that Republicans are not just a racist party who hates Black people. That is a lie that Democrats need Black people to continue to believe to help Democrats continue to get Black votes.”

Outrageous Idaho Café Owner Boots Pro Life Conservatives and Compares Them to KKK [WATCH]

A radical left café owner in Driggs, Idaho, is facing fierce criticism after throwing pro life conservatives out of his business and comparing their activism to the Ku Klux Klan.

The confrontation was captured on video and quickly drew outrage online.

Pro life activist Kristan Hawkins was visiting Wydaho Roasters Coffee House on Monday with her son, Bear, and members of Campaign for Abortion Free Cities.

The group had purchased food and was gathering inside the establishment when owner Jim Sheehan approached.

Bear founded the local group as part of an effort to defeat a late term abortion referendum scheduled to appear before Idaho voters on November 3.

Their peaceful presence apparently proved too much for the supposedly tolerant café owner.

Sheehan, an outspoken abortion supporter, demanded that Hawkins and the others leave his business.

Hawkins objected, noting that the group had already purchased food and had previously visited the café without such an ugly confrontation.

The owner insisted that the gathering was unwelcome because he and his wife disagreed with its mission.

In other words, diversity of thought was not on the menu at this particular Idaho coffee shop.

SHEEHAN: “I said everybody here is welcome, but I don’t want this group meeting here.”

HAWKINS: “Sir, we’re just meeting for the first meeting…”

SHEEHAN: “I don’t care. Go to the public library! This is my place of business!”

Hawkins explained that the group regularly visited the café and had already paid for its purchases.

Sheehan responded, “I have made it very clear that I did not want you here.”

Sheehan then revealed his personal involvement in the political fight surrounding the proposed abortion amendment.

He said, “I did a lot of work to get people on the ballot so women would have the right to choose in the state of Idaho, and this is something I do not support, nor does my wife, and it’s our business, so we have that choice.”

Hawkins pressed him to confirm whether he was actually expelling her, Bear, and the rest of the group.

Rather than lower the temperature, Sheehan reached for one of the left’s favorite tactics, smearing political opponents with the most inflammatory comparison available.

“It’s like, if the KKK asked to meet here, I would say no,” Sheehan declared.

Hawkins, visibly stunned, asked, “So you think pro lifers are like the KKK?”

“In my world, it’s the same sort of concept,” Sheehan replied.

That answer made clear that the comparison was not a slip of the tongue or a poorly worded moment of frustration.

Hawkins fired back that those defending the dignity of human life, including children in the womb, were nothing like a racist terror organization.

Sheehan refused to reconsider and said, “I’ve made my point clear. I asked you guys not to meet here.”

WATCH:

The café owner’s standard appears highly selective.

While pro life Christians were shown the door, the establishment has reportedly been willing to host an event called Queer Coffee Hour, making the ideological double standard rather difficult to miss.

Apparently, politically approved activism receives the welcome mat, while conservative customers who have already spent money receive a lecture and an outrageous historical smear.

That is a curious version of inclusion, though it is increasingly familiar wherever leftist politics takes priority over ordinary decency.

After the incident, Hawkins wrote on X that Sheehan’s decision should settle another long running dispute involving religious business owners.

If café owners may refuse gatherings based on deeply held beliefs, Christians should not be forced to create expressive products celebrating ceremonies that violate their faith.

Her comment appeared to reference the 2018 Supreme Court ruling involving Colorado baker Jack Phillips.

In that case, the justices ruled 7 to 2 for Phillips after he declined to design a wedding cake for a same sex couple because doing so conflicted with his religious convictions.

The contrast is glaring.

The left routinely celebrates private business choices when conservatives are excluded, yet cries discrimination when Christian owners seek narrow protections for conscience and religious expression.

Sheehan may have the power to decide what happens inside his café, but customers also have the power to decide where their money goes.

Comparing peaceful pro life activists to the KKK tells Idaho residents plenty about the contempt lurking behind the left’s endless sermons about tolerance.

Trump Administration Readies 1,000 Poll Monitors to Guard Crucial Midterms [WATCH]

The Trump administration is preparing to deploy approximately 1,000 poll monitors for the closely watched November midterm elections, making election integrity a central priority as voters decide control of Congress.

The monitors will observe polling operations, promote fair treatment, and follow up when suspicious activity demands investigation.

Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said the Justice Department is training officials using material employed by previous administrations.

Their responsibilities will include watching for possible election fraud, reviewing complaints, and helping ensure federal election laws are properly followed across the country.

Dhillon confirmed that the department already tested its monitoring operation during primary contests. “We just did it in the primary,” she said.

“We will do it to the tune of approximately 1,000 election monitors in the November election. This is something that DOJ does.”

The planned operation comes as Republicans continue pressing Congress to strengthen voter identification and citizenship requirements.

For conservative voters who have spent years hearing that basic ballot safeguards are somehow controversial, the administration is sending a welcome message that election rules still matter.

A recent Tea Party Patriots Action survey found that most general election voters support the SAVE America Act.

The legislation would require proof of citizenship when registering for federal elections and identification before a voter casts a ballot.

Tea Party Patriots Action Chairman Jenny Beth Martin said the proposal belongs near the top of President Donald Trump’s domestic agenda.

She also pointed to support among Democratic voters, a detail that makes the usual liberal panic over voter identification look even more disconnected from ordinary Americans.

Trump has repeatedly urged lawmakers to approve the measure, arguing that secure elections should not be a partisan demand.

Requiring citizens to prove eligibility and identity is hardly radical, despite the theatrical outrage routinely produced by Democrats and their allies whenever election safeguards reach Capitol Hill.

During a recent White House address about election vulnerabilities, Trump said opponents would reject the measure only if “you want to cheat, because your policies are so bad and your candidates are so pathetic that you can’t get away or can’t get elected any other way.”

Trump said the legislation “requires that all voters must show photo voter ID” and later insisted, “All voters must provide proof of citizenship.”

His argument is straightforward, and that simplicity may explain why opponents prefer slogans about suppression rather than answering the actual policy.

Dhillon has framed the monitoring effort as a way to strengthen public confidence before ballots are counted and winners are announced.

“Elections that all Americans can feel confident in is a high priority of this White House,” she said during a recent interview.

“We really want every American to get out there and vote, and feel confident in the outcome. That’s an important part of it, is not just vote, but also feel like you can accept the outcome of the elections,” she said.

WATCH:

That emphasis matters because confidence cannot simply be demanded after Election Day.

It must be earned through transparent procedures, lawful voter rolls, consistent enforcement, meaningful observation, and prompt investigations when credible allegations surface.

Republican leaders are also sounding increasingly optimistic about the political landscape.

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer of Minnesota recently said the congressional map gives his party a strong opportunity heading into the midterms.

“I like our chances. The map has never been better,” Emmer said.

The coming election will test whether Republican enthusiasm can overcome the usual media noise, Democratic resistance to election reforms, and the hard realities of congressional campaigns.

With 1,000 monitors preparing to observe the process, the Trump administration is making clear that ballot security will not be treated as an afterthought.

Seattle Shootout Exposes Socialist Mayor Katie Wilson’s Reckless Surveillance Camera Shutdown [WATCH]

A shootout erupted in Seattle within view of city surveillance cameras, the very equipment residents would expect to help police identify suspects and reconstruct the violence.

There was one major problem: Mayor Katie Wilson had turned the cameras off.

The alarming episode places Seattle’s public safety leadership under fresh scrutiny. Cameras positioned to monitor a dangerous public area could not provide useful footage when gunfire broke out, raising obvious questions about why the system was disabled.

Surveillance cameras do not replace police officers, witnesses, or competent investigations.

They can, however, preserve crucial evidence, document movements, identify vehicles, confirm witness accounts, and give detectives an objective record after bullets start flying.

When those cameras are deliberately shut down, investigators lose a potentially valuable tool before a crime even occurs.

Criminals receive the benefit of fewer electronic witnesses, while residents are left wondering why city officials made their streets harder to police.

The public response has been direct: “Seattle residents are clear about their priorities: turn the cameras on now, increase visible police presence now, and provide a comprehensive, action-driven public safety plan in the next 100 days.”

That demand is hardly extreme, no matter how city hall activists might try to portray it.

Residents want working cameras, visible officers, and an administration capable of producing measurable results rather than another stack of carefully polished talking points.

The mayor’s office may offer policy explanations for disabling the surveillance network, but explanations will not produce missing footage.

Once violence erupts, officials cannot travel backward in time and reactivate cameras that should have been operating from the start.

Turning off cameras can also make the jobs of police officers more difficult.

Detectives must then rely more heavily on witnesses, private recordings, physical evidence, and fragmented accounts that may be incomplete or altered by confusion.

The episode also illustrates the gap between ideological governing and street level reality.

Privacy debates deserve serious attention, but public officials must balance those concerns against the practical need to investigate shootings and protect law abiding residents.

Seattle’s leadership now has to explain who authorized the shutdown, what justification was offered, and whether public safety officials warned about the consequences.

Taxpayers also deserve to know why they funded equipment that was unavailable during an apparent moment of urgent need.

WATCH:

For years, progressive city governments have treated basic law enforcement tools as politically suspicious while asking residents to accept disorder as some unavoidable feature of urban life.

That posture becomes much harder to defend when gunfire erupts and the nearest city cameras are dark.

Residents asking for a stronger police presence are not demanding authoritarian rule.

They are asking local government to perform one of its oldest and most basic duties, maintaining public order so ordinary people can live, work, travel, and raise families safely.

A transparent explanation should include when the cameras were disabled, how many were affected, and whether police requested that they remain active.

Anything less would look like another attempt to bury a preventable government failure beneath bureaucratic language.

The administration should also disclose its plan for restoring surveillance capability and protecting access to recorded material.

Clear rules governing retention, access, and investigative use could address legitimate concerns without simply blinding the city’s own public safety infrastructure.

Visible police patrols must remain part of the response because cameras cannot intervene during violence or arrest a suspect.

Still, refusing to use available technology while officers face dangerous conditions is not reform, it is self imposed blindness.

The limited information accompanying the report does not identify casualties, arrests, suspects, or a detailed timeline of the shooting.

Those facts will matter, but their absence does not erase the central policy failure exposed by the incident.

What remains plain is that Seattle residents want action, not another ideological seminar from city hall.

Mayor Wilson can turn the cameras back on, strengthen police visibility, and present a credible public safety strategy, or explain why criminals should continue enjoying the darkness.

Bessent Assassination Plotter Sent to Prison as Trans Violence Pattern Becomes Impossible to Ignore [WATCH]

Ryan Michael English, who also uses the name Riley Jane English, is heading to federal prison after admitting to crimes connected to a plot targeting Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

The case adds another alarming entry to a growing list of politically motivated violence involving transgender suspects.

WATCH:

English, 25, received 73 months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release, according to the sentencing account.

The Justice Department said English pleaded guilty to “charges related to the attempt to assassinate cabinet member nominee Scott Bessent, and carrying a dangerous weapon on the Grounds of the Capitol.”

Those charges stemmed from a disturbing journey to Washington with a knife, incendiary devices, and apparent plans for political bloodshed.

At approximately 3:12 PM on January 27, 2025, English approached a United States Capitol Police officer near the South Door.

English then declared, “I’d like to turn myself in.”

A search allegedly uncovered a folding knife, a lighter, and two improvised explosive devices made from vodka bottles with cloth wicks.

In plain English, authorities say this was not an innocent tourist wandering around Washington with an unusual packing list.

English allegedly told investigators that the original objective was to kill a Trump administration nominee facing a confirmation vote that day.

Bessent had been sworn into office only hours earlier, making the alleged plot another stark example of the threats surrounding President Donald Trump and his team.

Investigators also found a note that English had reportedly left for a roommate.

It read, “I can’t do nothing while nazis kill my sisters,” offering a revealing glimpse into the radical political mindset authorities were confronting.

According to the government, English traveled to Washington intending either to murder a public official or burn down the Heritage Foundation headquarters.

That is not ordinary political disagreement, no matter how eagerly the activist press tries to sanitize violence associated with the radical left.

Bessent has described the case as evidence that violent left wing extremism presents a genuine danger.

Considering the weapons, incendiary materials, and alleged assassination objective described by federal authorities, that warning looks considerably more serious than the usual Washington talking point.

WATCH:

The case arrives as the country approaches the first anniversary of the Annunciation Catholic Church shooting in Minneapolis.

On August 27, 2025, Robert Westman, who used the name Robin, allegedly fired through church windows during a school Mass, killing two children and wounding 17 other people, including 14 children.

Federal investigators treated that attack as domestic terrorism and a hate crime.

The horror remains a brutal reminder that ideological obsessions can become deadly when warning signs are ignored because acknowledging them would make the political class uncomfortable.

Another case involved Benjamin Hanil Song, described as a transgender Antifa militant, who was convicted of attempted murder following the July 2025 attack on the Prairieland immigration detention center in Alvarado, Texas.

A responding police officer was shot in the neck during that assault.

The Justice Department called the Prairieland assault a “terrorist attack,” and Song was sentenced to 100 years in prison.

Tyler Robinson has also been charged with aggravated murder in the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, adding to the climate of political menace.

English’s alleged plans also bear an unsettling resemblance to the plot against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

In that case, another transgender suspect traveled to the Washington area carrying weapons and intending to kill a prominent conservative member of the federal government.

Any single case can be dismissed as an isolated act, and two cases can be written off as coincidence.

But when similar cases keep surfacing, officials and journalists have a duty to examine the pattern rather than bury it beneath fashionable excuses.

The English sentence delivers accountability for one dangerous plot, but it does not erase the broader threat.

Americans deserve an honest discussion about radicalization, political hatred, and repeated violence without the left demanding silence whenever the facts become inconvenient.

Minnesota Outstanding Refugee Honoree Accused in Massive Fraud Scheme Tied to Sex Trafficking [WATCH]

Minnesota’s breathtaking fraud crisis has produced another development that sounds more like political satire than government news.

A man once celebrated by the state as an “outstanding refugee” now faces charges connected to an alleged Medicaid fraud scheme exceeding $1 million.

Salman Ahmed Elmi faces three counts of aiding and abetting by swindle and five counts of aiding and abetting by false representation, according to Fox 9 Minneapolis.

Prosecutors allege the operation billed Medicaid for services that were fraudulent.

The allegations grow even more disturbing from there.

Authorities also claim two people involved in the alleged fraud operation had ties to a sex trafficking ring involving brothels, adding another ugly layer to Minnesota’s expanding public corruption nightmare.

In 2021, the Minnesota Department of Human Services honored Elmi with an Outstanding Refugee Award and an Entrepreneurship Award.

That is the same department responsible for administering Medicaid payments, a detail critics understandably found impossible to ignore.

The state recognition portrayed Elmi as an example of immigrant entrepreneurship and success.

Four years later, the award looks less like inspired government judgment and more like another embarrassing symbol of Minnesota officials rewarding people they apparently failed to examine closely.

WATCH:

The reaction was swift because the episode seemed to capture everything critics have said about Minnesota’s combination of weak oversight, political correctness, and taxpayer funded dysfunction.

“Fraud is so rampant in this demographic that it’s rewarded instead of punished,” ACT for America founder Brigitte Gabriel wrote on X.

“When the system celebrates the looters, you have a culture problem.”

Republican National Committee member AK Kamara blamed the political environment built by Minnesota Democrats.

Townhall columnist Dustin Grage offered a far more direct proposed solution, posting simply, “Deport.”

Conservative commentator Benny Johnson highlighted the remarkable overlap between the agency that honored Elmi and the agency connected to the disputed payments.

“The same agency that awarded Elmi is the SAME agency that gives out Medicaid payments,” Johnson wrote.

“You can’t make this up.”

Conservative pundit Eric Daugherty expressed similar outrage over the state’s record of honoring Elmi before the charges emerged.

“You literally cannot make this up,” he posted.

“Get these people out of my country.”

Elmi also participated in a startup that received financial backing from Shark Tank personality Kevin O’Leary, according to Fox 9.

In an archived state government post, Elmi said, “I started a business to help inspire other people,” while describing his family’s pursuit of the American dream.

The charges arrive as Minnesota remains buried under scrutiny involving widespread fraud across government departments and public benefit programs.

Prosecutors have said the total amount connected to various schemes could surpass $9 billion, with many cases involving members of the state’s Somali community.

WATCH:

Critics have argued for years that public officials were reluctant to confront obvious warning signs because they feared accusations of racism.

That cowardly approach appears to have allowed politically protected fraud networks to flourish while ordinary taxpayers were left holding the bill.

Gov. Tim Walz, who has led Minnesota since 2019, has faced mounting questions about what his administration knew and why safeguards repeatedly failed.

The scandal became so politically damaging that Walz eventually abandoned his reelection campaign amid the fallout.

The Department of Human Services told Fox News Digital that the Outstanding Refugee Awards ended in 2024.

“Salman Elmi’s alleged actions are disturbing and do not reflect the goal of the Outstanding Refugee Awards,” a department spokesperson said.

The agency added that recipients received certificates and plaques rather than cash prizes.

That distinction may protect the department from claims that the award itself funded Elmi, but it does little to answer the larger question of how Minnesota officials kept celebrating people while alleged fraud spread under their noses.

Elmi remains accused, and the criminal case will determine whether prosecutors can prove their claims.

Still, the contrast between a state issued honor and charges involving Medicaid fraud and alleged links to sex trafficking has handed Minnesota taxpayers another reason to demand accountability from the political class.

Viral Target Catfight Erupts as Hijab Wearing Somali Women Trade Blows and Vile Threats [WATCH]

A chaotic video showing two hijab wearing women brawling inside what was identified as a Target store has exploded across social media.

The footage features wrestling, hair pulling, punches, screaming, and threats more suited to a street corner than a family shopping aisle.

The clip was described online as a seemingly recent confrontation involving Somali women, though key details remain unconfirmed.

Multiple conservative accounts shared the video as viewers reacted with disgust to the public spectacle.

It begins with both women already on the floor, grappling and shouting as nearby shoppers watch the mayhem unfold.

There is no visible sign of what triggered the dispute or how long the confrontation had been brewing before someone started recording.

Within moments, the woman dressed in navy blue appears to gain control and climb on top of her opponent.

Positioned above the other woman, she delivers several blows while shouting, “I’ll spit on you h*e! I’ll spit on this b***h!”

WATCH:

The threat only adds another ugly layer to a scene already overflowing with public disorder.

This was no quick shove or heated exchange between irritated shoppers, but a prolonged fight carried out in full view of customers.

Perhaps just as striking as the violence was the casual reaction from several people standing nearby.

Rather than immediately separating the women, some bystanders smiled, watched, and held up their phones to capture every second.

That reaction has become painfully familiar whenever chaos breaks out in public.

Instead of helping restore order, too many people now treat violence as free entertainment for their social media feeds.

Only after nearly two minutes does a man finally step into the confrontation and attempt to stop it.

He grabs the wrists of the woman who appeared more aggressive and pulls her away from the other participant.

The intervention ends the most violent portion of the encounter, but the atmosphere remains tense and disorderly.

The video does not show whether store security, police officers, or emergency personnel later responded.

Basic facts surrounding the incident are still missing, despite the enormous attention the footage has received.

The Daily Dot reported that the cause of the fight and the city where it occurred remain unclear.

That uncertainty did little to slow the clip as it raced through X and other social media platforms.

Viral videos rarely wait for a police report, a store statement, or even a confirmed location before public judgment arrives.

Still, the images themselves are difficult to dismiss, regardless of what argument started the physical confrontation.

X users blasted the women for their conduct, with many comments calling for deportation in response to the disgraceful display.

Some users also focused on the apparent unwillingness of witnesses to stop the fight before it escalated further.

Whether bystanders feared becoming targets themselves or simply preferred recording the chaos, the result was nearly two uninterrupted minutes of violence.

The deportation demands reveal how quickly such incidents become part of the larger national argument over immigration, assimilation, and public order.

They also reflect growing frustration among Americans who believe basic standards of conduct are being treated as optional.

The episode comes as ordinary shoppers increasingly encounter brazen theft, fights, threats, and other disturbances in retail stores.

Big retailers have spent years watching disorder rise while customers are expected to maneuver around it and pretend nothing unusual is happening.

What remains unknown is whether either woman was arrested, cited, removed from the store, or subjected to any other consequences.

Here is hoping authorities and Target management can provide answers, rather than allowing another viral eruption to vanish into the Internet without accountability.

The video may not reveal how the dispute began, but it clearly shows how far the confrontation spiraled.

Yet again, the cameras were rolling long before meaningful help arrived, because apparently filming the circus now takes priority over stopping it.
