Minnesota’s welfare fraud scandals dominate the national news, and calls are rising for Governor Tim Walz to resign. The Minnesota Star Tribune, a longtime DFL mouthpiece that is now run by a former Walz cabinet member, is doing its best to fend off criticism of the Walz regime. Toward that end, its “reporters” are desperately looking for a way to discredit the Nick Shirley video of Somali day care centers that has been seen by more than 100 million people.
Deena Winter, a Star Tribune reporter, evidently was assigned that task. In the Shirley video, he has a colleague who is identified only as “David.” Winter apparently thought this could be the weak link. So she set out to dox David:
As the knight in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade would say, she chose poorly. So poorly, she deleted her Twitter/X account:
Both she & the Star Tribune have decided to go on the offensive in regards to the Somali fraud scandals & the people have rightfully called out their BS. Now I need to speak to a few of my left leaning friends to see if they're buying the defense or are starting to ask questions.

Similarly, the Somali pirates are proving to be an early stress test for Bari Weiss, with mixed results. First the bad:
This dunce didn’t do an investigation into fraud, he simply read a government compliance website and concluded that everything is fine. This is Soviet-style media. Bari Weiss has a lot more work to do. https://t.co/VI25Lxmd3l

And now the good: ABC, NBC Barely Touch Minnesota Fraud, While CBS Delivers the Goods. “CBS Evening News is the only broadcast network which has reported on this story consistently, airing three dedicated reports and several other smaller mentions for a total of eight minutes and 16 seconds of coverage since December 2.”
THIS IS NOT PHRASED AS A QUESTION: What happens when marriage becomes disposable.
Sometimes a marriage really is dangerous or irreparable. Abuse is not “a rough patch,” and infidelity isn’t always something a couple can or should survive. But what’s striking is how often the “leave” reflex shows up even when the situation is plainly ordinary: the grind of cohabitation, the stress of money, the monotony of raising children, the disappointment of discovering your spouse is a human being rather than a Disney-scripted soulmate.
This isn’t just an internet quirk. It’s a cultural tell, and it’s part of what’s behind the loneliness epidemic.
In 2023, the U.S. Surgeon General warned that social disconnection is a serious public health issue, associated with higher risks of premature death and a range of mental and physical health harms. Loneliness isn’t simply a sad feeling; it’s what happens when the institutions and habits that tether us to other people weaken or collapse. And marriage, even an imperfect marriage, has long been one of the strongest tethers most adults have.
So when advice-column comments normalize “jump ship” as the default response to ordinary friction, they’re not just giving bad counsel. They’re reinforcing a broader story: Relationships are optional, people are replaceable, and the moment things get hard, you should optimize.
That mindset didn’t arrive by accident. It tracks with how modern dating has been redesigned.

BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS: Trump Says Abraham Accords to Expand ‘Fairly Quickly.’
“At some point Saudi Arabia will sign the Abraham Accords,” Trump said, adding that the agreements “will be expanded fairly quickly” as more countries move toward normalization of relations with Israel.
Trump described Saudi Arabia as a key regional player and said relations between Riyadh and Israel are already improving.
He credited earlier U.S. diplomatic efforts with laying the groundwork for broader Middle East cooperation and said more nations — in and outside the region — are prepared to join the accords.
Previously: Psaki Rejects the Abraham Accords as ‘Tactics of the Prior Administration.’
Well, the whole world saw how that worked out — and now the Biden Cabal is the prior administration.

It really is theft all the way down, even to hide the theft everyone wants to pretend isn’t happening.
HEY, BIG SPENDER: Meta acquires intelligent agent firm Manus, capping year of aggressive AI moves.
Manus, founded in China before relocating to Singapore, launched its first general AI agent earlier this year, which can execute complex tasks such as market research, coding, and data analysis.
The company claimed it had achieved an annualized average revenue of more than $100 million just eight months after launch, while its revenue run rate exceeded $125 million.
…
While further terms of the acquisition were not disclosed, the Wall Street Journal reported that the deal closed at an amount over $2 billion, according to sources familiar with the acquisition.
That’s a lot of money for a company that doesn’t seem to have generated any profits.
CHANGE?
Lot of blackpills and frustration out there right now. I get it. I really do.
But look at this. A very "normie" GOP congressman calling for denaturalization. That's a big move in the right direction.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: 2025 Was a Trumptastic Rollercoaster Ride of a Year. “At the end of April I wrote that it felt like President Trump had put 100 months’ worth of work into his first 100 days. It was quite the contrast to the “call a lid by 9 AM” schedule that Joe Biden had favored for the previous four years. Fueled by Big Macs and Diet Cokes, Trump kept up that relentless work pace all year long.”
I DROVE A SELF-DRIVING TESLA THROUGH ATLANTA TRAFFIC THIS WEEKEND. I’ll be posting a report soon.
I am proud to announce that I have successfully completed the world’s first USA coast to coast fully autonomous drive!
I left the Tesla Diner in Los Angeles 2 days & 20 hours ago, and now have ended in Myrtle Beach, SC (2,732.4 miles)
This was accomplished with Tesla FSD V14.2… pic.twitter.com/DFA8HiH5Yf

In a year when maybe the most influential conservative speaker was shot and killed in the neck in front of the whole country in daylight. The most viral assassination in American History. And @joshgerstein still hit SEND.
Do you think he just did that by accident?
