A former Minnesota state trooper testified this week that officials within the state’s Department of Human Services attempted to pressure him into withholding evidence related to alleged fraud in a taxpayer-funded child care program, raising new questions about oversight and accountability in the state, as reported by the New York Post.

Jay Swanson, who previously served as a criminal investigator for DHS, delivered testimony Tuesday before the Minnesota House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Policy Committee. During the hearing, he alleged that supervisors instructed him to alter or remove findings tied to fraud within the Child Care Assistance Program.

Swanson said the request came while he was responding to inquiries from the Minnesota Legislature regarding irregularities within the program. According to his testimony, a DHS official directed him to submit his responses through agency leadership instead of directly to legislative auditors.

The City of Phoenix announces they are preparing for new water restrictions, including charging people who use a lot of water due to a shortage of water

 Residents will be on water restrictions, meanwhile Arizona has allowed 24 data centers to be built, with roughly 30 more being planned

 Arizona is experiencing a major data center boom

 The shortage of water is due to serious cuts to the Colorado river water supply

 “The City of Phoenix is anticipating serious cuts to our water supply from the Colorado River — We cannot conserve our way out of the problem of this magnitude.

 The Water Services Department announced by the end of the year, Phoenix will likely enter stage 2 of the plan where they will have to use backup water supplies to meet demand. It may include things like additional conservation education, expansion of water audits, incentives and rebates to ensure efficient use of water”

 “It could also bring surcharges, meaning if someone uses more water than what they are allocated, they could face additional charges for it.”

 But Arizona lawmakers are allowing 30-50+ data centers

 Make it make sense

 United Arab Emirates Exits OPEC: The End of the Petrodollar And the Rise of IMEC

 Author Patrick Wood says that the Petrodollar is dead and that asset tokenization will replace the dollar when pricing oil. The India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC) includes India, the United States, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, France, Germany, Italy, and the European Union, and will create new trade routes. The UAE built pipelines outside the Strait of Hormuz and can export oil when Hormuz is closed. Other countries are re-routing, too. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) withdrew from OPEC on May 1, 2026.

Sheikh Tahnoun bin Zayed Al Nahyan, brother to UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed, secretly purchased a 49% stake in World Liberty Financial (WLF), the Trump family’s cryptocurrency venture, for $500 million. The deal was signed by Eric Trump and never publicly disclosed. The Sheikh purchased nearly half of the infrastructure that would become the settlement layer for the new global economy. Wood says that the US government will no longer have the power to sanction other countries because the money will flow through a new system.

TAKE OVER KUWAIT, BAHRAIN, QATAR AND THE UAE. EUROPE IS DEAD. THE EXPANED IRANIAN STATE, PLUS LEBANON AND PALESTINE WILL

FBI Surveillance Video Just DROPPED—Secret Service Agent CAUGHT Watching Shooter Ditch Coat & Ready Weapon… Then Just WALKS Away

 I just analyzed the "newly released" FBI surveillance footage of Cole Thomas Allen at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, and something is NOT adding up. We are being gaslit by the mainstream media, and I have the receipts to prove it.

 THE TWO MASSIVE RED FLAGS

 First lets look at the first 16 seconds of the raw footage. A Secret Service agent—K9 in hand—follows Allen directly to a storage room. Allen walks in casually in a trench coat. The agent stands in the doorway, eyes locked on him for 10 full seconds. During that window, Allen is ditching the coat and readying his weapon. The second the agent turns to walk away, Allen bursts out and rushes the metal detectors. How does a trained agent miss a man readying a firearm three feet in front of him? Is this incompetence, or collusion?

 Secondly Every single major network—Fox, CNN, MSNBC—is playing the same 10-second loop of Allen running through the lobby with the gun. They’ve scrubbed the first 16 seconds. They don’t want you to see the agent standing there. They don’t want you to ask why he wasn't stopped before he ever reached the lobby.

 Why is the media protecting the narrative that this was a "security breach" instead of showing the full video that suggests a security escort?

 Was this SS Agent colluding with the suspect or part of a larger conspiracy?

Where Are Silencers Illegal? State Suppressor Laws in 2026

 Federal law sets the groundwork for laws across the nation, and suppressors are heavily regulated by the federal government.

Federal statute defines “firearm silencer” (aka “firearm muffler”) in 18 U.S.C. § 921. The National Firearms Act classifies silencers as firearms (and therefore subject to regulation) under 26 U.S.C. § 5845.1, 2

Although not illegal, suppressors must be registered. The ATF must approve their sale or manufacture, and purchasers must undergo a more intensive purchasing process (including fingerprinting) with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).

Where Are Silencers Illegal in the U.S.?

Suppressors, colloquially referred to as “silencers,” must be registered with the ATF to become legal in any U.S. state. Some states restrict possession of suppressors, even with a tax stamp.

(MAP LEGEND  IS MORE LEGIBLE AT SOURCE. TN AND TEAXAS SILENCERS ARE LEGAL. INDIANA NO)
