The Conservative Cave

President Donald J. Trump has announced that his administration has launched an investigation into allegations of fraud in California, contending that the state, under Governor Gavin Newsom (D), is “more corrupt than Minnesota.” In a Tuesday post on Truth Social, President Trump stated, “California, under Governor Gavin Newscum, is more corrupt than Minnesota, if that’s possible??? The Fraud Investigation of California has begun.

”On Monday, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) abandoned his reelection bid amid a growing scandal involving widespread fraud linked to the Somali community and rising pressure from fellow Democrats. Federal prosecutors have estimated that over $9 billion in taxpayer dollars may have been stolen through social services fraud in the state.
...
The Trump administration moved to freeze $10 billion in welfare funding on Monday for five Democratic-led states—California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, and New York—due to concerns over fraud. Programs affected include the Child Care Development Fund (CCDF), the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, and the Social Services Block Grant program.

If it was possible to release the files to ruin Trump and Republicans, Biden would have done it. The fact that no one will release them indicates that everyone is on the list,
including people who are fully willing to do some grassy knoll stuff to keep things hidden. And it almost certainly stretches well outside US borders.

The left doesn't care, because they are by now used to ignoring or disputing any mere fact that's uncomfortable to them, and trumpeting the merest whisper of accusations against their
enemies.

It's a nothingburger because it's an everythingburger.

Noam Mother****ing Chomsky is pictured on a jet next to Epstein. If he's there, EVERYONE is there.

For the past 22 years I have watched, written about, broadcast, and cross-referenced the groups, messages, and protests by the left in Portland, Oregon. For a long time, before the Occupy Wall Street movement, I was one of the few in Portland talking about the derivations of these groups on my blog and the radio. Before the category-killing Antifa movement subsumed the anarchists and BLM activists, these groups always came from one place: the ANSWER Coalition. This anti-war, anti-Israel, anti-capitalist, anti-anything-opposed-to-America organization gave cover to the wildest and most extreme groups in Portland. Earth First!, Animal Liberation Front, Earth Liberation Front, and anti-Semites, the Wobblies, and any group with a fist in their logo found a home in the ANSWER Coalition. Republicans were not invited.

When ANSWER discovered I was outing them in public, they removed the individual groups from their website. Apparently, they didn't want anyone to know they were associating with terrorist organizations. But—what ho!—the group, which stands for Act Now to End War and Stop Racism, began right after the al-Qaeda attack on the United States in 2001, in fear that the U.S. would retaliate for that whole flying airplanes into the Pentagon and New York skyscrapers thing.
...
Just take a look at their last few months of activity that I screenshotted from their website:



And, of course, ANSWER and the ubiquitous group 50501, the same ones who brought you the anti-ICE riots, have brought you the pro-Maduro, pro-commie protests.
...
As she reported in her thread of X messages, the coalition's backing of the Revolucionistas! and Communistas! in our hemisphere is long and sordid. It goes back to 2003, when the group supported communist Hugo Chavez. Look at her thread. It's worth the read.

Ahe reports they were able to drop everything to plan protests within minutes of the U.S. operation in Caracas.

On Monday, Tim Walz announced he was dropping his bid for a third term as Minnesota’s governor amid an ongoing fraud scandal. I said that dropping out of the race wouldn’t save him from being held accountable, and sure enough, on Monday evening, Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed the Department of Justice has launched a sweeping criminal investigation into Walz for his potential role in the fraud.

Appearing on Fox News with Jesse Watters, Bondi said the developments surrounding Walz were hardly surprising.

“The scale of the fraud that the Trump Administration, with the help of great independent journalists like Nick Shirley, is uncovering right now… is surely shocking, but President Trump has been calling out Tim Walz for his incompetence and corrupt leadership for a very long time, and Trump was right about everything.”
...
“And so, this has been a day-one priority for the Trump Administration, Jesse,” she said. “The Department of Justice has convicted and prosecuted nearly 100 defendants in Minnesota, and because of these new details and this new reporting that has come to light, this is an all-hands-on-deck across-the-entire-government effort.”

That effort now spans multiple federal agencies. Bondi said resources are being surged and funds frozen as investigators dig deeper.

“You saw today, the Department of Homeland Security announced we have nearly 2,000 agents from the Homeland Security Investigations Team, the FBI is on the ground, and we’re freezing money.”

She added that the Health and Human Services Department has already taken concrete steps, including cutting funding to potentially fraudulent daycare centers, and she made clear that the investigation could reach to the very top of Minnesota’s government.

More evidence emerged Tuesday confirming the Biden administration’s politicization of federal law enforcement’s January 6 Capitol Hill riot investigation as Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee Chairman Rand Paul (R-Ky.) released new documents in the panel’s continuing probe.

“A free society cannot tolerate a system in which programs and authorities intended to keep the public safe are instead weaponized against them due to mere suspicion,” Paul said in a statement. “The records released today show how an unverified tip that the FBI failed to substantiate led to nearly two years of surveillance of an innocent American. I am grateful for FBI Director Kash Patel’s cooperation in producing these records, and I appreciate Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem for ending the Quiet Skies program. The conduct revealed by these documents underscores the need to limit the power of faceless bureaucrats who have too often infringed on the rights of the people.”

The Senate panel first learned of the FBI’s two-year surveillance of Texas Catholic school teacher Christine Crowder during a September 2025 hearing when her husband, Mark, who is a Federal Air Marshall, became a whistle blower and described the situation to Paul and committee colleagues.

Christine Crowder was in the nation’s capital on January 6, 2021, to attend the rally on the Ellipse in support of Trump. She came to the attention of federal investigators in the months after the rally and the subsequent riot on Capitol Hill that resulted in more than 1,500 arrests. Crowder was not among those arrested.
...
Crowder’s surveillance was launched after a former friend provided information that was never verified by FBI investigators. The documents released by Paul demonstrate that officials still labelled Crowder a domestic terrorist despite the fact that initial facial recognition and geolocation search results were negative and Crowder had no prior record of criminal or terrorist activity.

“Even after initially failing to confirm her identity, the Biden-era FBI subjected Mrs. Crowder to physical surveillance, federal watch-listing, continuous airport surveillance while traveling and referred her case for prosecution. That referral was made before the FBI could positively identify her and ultimately rested on what proved to be a case of mistaken identity,” the Paul statement said.

Federal officials finally dropped the prosecution after a confidential human source provided a photograph that proved Crowder had been mistaken for an individual labeled by riot investigators as “Insider #336,” who had entered the U.S. Capitol illegally.
