Nigerian Muslims killed 14 in Adamawa State
Fourteen Nigerians are dead, and four are missing after Boko Haram, a Muslim terrorist group, attacked three villages on the evening of December 29th in Adamawa State, reports International Christian Concern.
In addition, numerous homes and businesses were vandalized or burned in the attacks, which struck the villages of Zah, Mubang Yadul, and Kijing. Many villagers fled for their safety. The attackers reportedly fled into the bush before security personnel arrived.
The attacks, which occurred days after the U.S. struck ISIS-affiliated Muslim militants in northwest Nigeria, were the latest in a string of assaults on villages in the area to occur around Christmas.
MN employees: "Gov. Tim Walz is 100% responsible for massive fraud."
Republican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana took to the Senate floor to address how it’s possible that Somalis in Minnesota were able to defraud taxpayers to the tune of $1 billion, possibly $9 billion, through fake non-profits.
KENNEDY: “Here's what the Legislative Auditor in Minnesota said: ‘The threat of litigation and the negative press affected how the state politicians use their regulatory power.’
“And here's what a fraud investigator in the Attorney General's office said: ‘There is a perception that forcefully tackling this issue would cause political backlash from the Somali community, which is a core voting block for Democrats.’
“One of the other witnesses in the fraud investigation said, ‘Look, the 80,000-voting block folks with Somali ancestry, you got to have their votes to win in Minneapolis. And if you're a Democrat, if you can't win Minneapolis, you can't win in the state.' So, the politicians did nothing.”
Senator Kennedy quoted from a social media post in which hundreds of employees of the Minnesota Department of Human Service weighed in.
KENNEDY: “Don't just take my word for it, and don't blame the state employees. They tried. In fact, recently the state employees, they just said, ‘Look, we've had enough.’ Several hundred employees from the Minnesota Department of Human Service, who administered this program, they posted this. I'm quoting now. '[Democratic] Governor Tim Walz is 100% responsible for massive fraud in Minnesota. We let Tim Walz know of fraud early on.’ That's employees talking, hoping for a partnership and stopping fraud. ‘But no, we got the opposite response. Tim Walz systematically retaliated against whistleblowers.’”
Jeremiah 9:6 says, “’You live in the midst of deception; in their deceit they refuse to acknowledge Me,’” declares the LORD.”
Additional massive fraud at Somali-run day care centers in Minnesota
In a related story, YouTuber Nick Shirley, age 23, has exposed what appears to be massive additional fraud in taxpayer-subsidized, Somali-run day care centers.
This has prompted the Department of Health and Human Services to announce that it is derailing the $185-million gravy train. HHS Deputy Secretary Jim O’Neil said on X, “We have frozen all child care payments to the state of Minnesota,” reports The Blaze.
O’NEIL:” “Intrepid journalists have made shocking and credible allegations of extensive fraud in Minnesota's child care programs. We believe the state of Minnesota has allowed scammers and fake day cares to siphon millions of taxpayer dollars over the past decade.”
Muslim NYC Mayor sworn in with Quran
Incoming New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani took his New Year’s Eve oath of office on his grandfather’s Quran and a 200-year-old Quaran from the New York Public Library. It marked the first time a New York City mayor used Islam’s misguided text to be sworn in, reports the Associated Press.
The 34-year-old Democrat became mayor in a long-closed subway station beneath City Hall, the first Muslim, the first So
