A financial audit of Wisconsin state government accounting found issues with nearly $900 million in alterations made to Department of Transportation assumptions, issues with the documentation of interest earned on federal funds and found that the state’s Department of Administration has not properly followed guidance on properly monitoring information technology security across state government.The leaders of the state’s Legislative Audit Bureau – Sen.

Over the weekend, rap superstar Nicki Minaj took the stage at the TPUSA’s (Turning Point USA) AmFest in Phoenix, Arizona, to tell a large crowd about her journey to publicly supporting many of the polices of President Donald Trump. “He [Trump] has given so many people hope that there’s a chance to beat the bad guys and to win and to do it with your head held high,” she said in an on-stage discussion with TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk.

President Donald Trump earlier this month ordered a “total and complete blockade of all sanctioned oil tankers” coming out of Venezuela. Since then, the U.S. Coast Guard has been actively enforcing the blockade. Should Venezuela-sanctioned oil be taken off the market, it could impact markets globally. Last summer, a group of researchers led by Jesús Fernández-Villaverde, Professor of Economics at the University of Pennsylvania’s Ronald Perelman Center, calculated that the amount of sanctioned oil finding its way to market has substantial impacts on the global economy. Increasing interdiction The attention on Venezuelan oil began when the president designated the regime of Venezuelan President…
The European Union’s agreement to extend 90 billion euro (around $105 billion) in no-interest loans to Ukraine last week was not elegant or free of risk, but it could represent a significant shift in how the nearly four-year-old Russia-Ukraine war plays out.The loans are likely to provide enough support for the Ukrainians to continue their fight for another year or more. And perhaps just as significant, they represent a rare example of European states acting in their own interests without any outsourcing to Washington. “We have achieved a breakthrough to pave the way for a successful completion of the agreement,”…

A “60 Minutes” segment that was delayed by CBS News’ Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss on Sunday, appeared to mistakenly air in Canada on Monday through a streaming platform owned by Global TV, which has the rights to “60 Minutes” in Canada.The segment, which was reported by correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi, centered on interviews with migrants that the Trump administration deported to El Salvador’s maximum-security prison, CECOT. But Weiss determined that the story needed “additional reporting,” before it was ready to air. The interviews included allegations that the men were tortured for months at the prison, and suffered sexual and physical abuse. The…
Even when George Stephanopoulos isn’t hosting, ABC’s This Week sounds framed against President Trump. His primetime TV speech was trashed, he was called an “angry old man,” and it was predicted that he would go down as the “least consequential president of our lifetime.” From the start, host Jonathan Karl set the tone. “It’s been an erratic week for Donald Trump. We’ve seen a defensive prime time address, the renaming of the Kennedy Center to the Trump-Kennedy Center, a partial release of the Epstein files, and military action in both Syria and the Caribbean.

Brown University campus security chief Rodney Chatman. Credit: Brown University Brown University has (finally) placed campus security chief Rodney Chatman on leave. It’s difficult to see how they could have avoided this. There are simply too many unanswered questions about how the shooter so easily gained access to the building where the shootings occurred. Especially now that a janitor at the school has come forward to claim that he warned school authorities about a strange figure who turned out to be the shooter, days before the incident. Lots of people at Brown have to be questioned, starting with this guy.…

Almost 100 mayors in the state of Minnesota have sent a letter to state lawmakers complaining about the fraud scandal and how it is going to impact the communities they serve. They are clearly not happy with the leadership of Governor Tim Walz and his connections to the fraud scandal that has rocked the state in recent weeks. The scandal is still unfolding and it’s unclear what the final tally will be, but it’s looking like something in the tens of billions. It’s shaping up to be the largest theft of taxpayer dollars in American history. Is there any wonder…

Ukrainian President Zelensky said that when they hold a presidential election, if they ever hold an election, he will not allow the occupied territories of eastern Ukraine to vote. That sounds a little undemocratic for someone who claims to be saving democracy for the world. It appears as if he’s not going to let people who disagree with him vote, which means roughly 20% of Ukraine will be disenfranchised. There’s probably not much of a problem here because he doesn’t plan to hold elections anyway. He reasons that Russia occupies those territories, so it would be like giving Putin a…

We should have free health care. Just like Canada. This ‘free health care’ comes with a 3 month wait time for a referral to a specialist, and another 3 months to get treated, with 2 month wait times for a CT scan, 4 months for an MRI and over a month for an ultrasound. Mostly it’s just easier not to bother. Half a million Canadians left ERs without seeing a doctor. And, in one year, over 23,000 patients died waiting for surgery. While it may take months to see a specialist, “the median wait time between first request and referral…
