Paul Mills, the eldest brother of Gov. Janet Mills, says he never met Xiling Ou or Xiaoyu Lu before helping them transfer ownership of a black market cannabis grow.
A Chinese national living in the Guangdong Province, China, became the proud owner of a “fixer upper” in Penobscot County in February thanks, in part, to title transfer services provided by Paul H. Mills, the eldest brother of Maine Gov. Janet Mills (D).
Xiling Ou, 44, of Malden, Mass., was the original owner of the ramshackle house and its three-bay garage, along with nine-acres of land, located at 51 Cider Hill in Corinna.
But 13 days after the Penobscot Sheriff’s Department and Homeland Security agents raided an illegal marijuana grow just five miles away, she gifted the property to her mother in Foshan City.
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins on Thursday said the Trump administration is planning to have all Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) beneficiaries reapply for the program due to alleged fraud.
The secretary said after receiving data on SNAP recipients from 29 red states that “186,000 deceased men and women and children in this country are receiving a check.”
“Can you imagine when we get our hands on the blue state data what we’re going to find?” she asked during a Thursday appearance on Newsmax’s “Rob Schmitt Tonight.”
“It’s going to give us a platform and a trajectory to fundamentally rebuild this program, have everyone reapply for their benefit, make sure that everyone that’s taking a taxpayer-funded benefit through SNAP or food stamps, that they literally are vulnerable, and they can’t survive without it,” she added.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement has launched an initiative with state and local law enforcement partners to find roughly 450,000 “unaccompanied alien children” who were illegally smuggled into the U.S. during the Biden administration and placed with unvetted sponsors.
The new UAC Safety Verification Initiative is focused on protecting children from sexual abuse and exploitation through a broader collaboration among so-called 287(g) partners.
“The primary focus of this initiative is to conduct welfare checks on these children to ensure that they are safe and not being exploited,” the Department of Homeland Security said.
Florida on Monday became the first state in the nation to implement the initiative.
Under the Biden administration, ORR placed UACs with unvetted sponsors, background checks weren’t performed, UACs were released to alleged gang members, human traffickers, non-family members and sent to non-residential addresses, federal inspector general audits and a Florida grand jury found.
•Merrick Garland’s DOJ had already raided, arrested, and charged more than 650 Trump supporters — the most expansive political dragnet in modern U.S. history.
•They had pressured over 100 defendants into guilty pleas through aggressive stacking of charges, pretrial detention, and threat-driven tactics — and more than two dozen people were already sentenced.
•Democrats were nearly five months into their January 6th Select Committee, having subpoenaed thousands of documents and interviewed or deposed well over a hundred people, building a massive, one-sided investigative machine.
By contrast, the Bondi DOJ has led to no meaningful arrests, no answers, and with statutes of limitations expiring in a matter of weeks- no hope for justice for supporters of President Trump’s whose lives were destroyed.
This was the prediction for her. I doubt Trump wanted this. The Deep State always protects itself. Patel appears to be no better. Together they reveal the limits of political power. The previous admin had a field day with many bogus arrests and convictions, which is equally revealing of the DC power structure. ABN
A student who yelled insults at barstool founder Dave Portnoy has raised thousands of dollars for his legal defense.
A whopping $37,000 has been raised for the legal defense of 20-year-old Mississippi student Patrick McClintock, who was arrested on Monday for disturbing the peace.
Portnoy had been in town for a Mississippi State football game and was filming a pizza review outside of Boardtown Pizza & Pints at the time of the incident.
I replaced the vacuous term antisemitic with ‘insult’. The term deserves no legal standing and no respect in any serious usage, except to analyze and discredit it. It is a mind-control psycholinguistic trap which is invariably used to bludgeon anyone who speaks badly of Jews or insults them. The term is especially reprehensible because Jews themselves are infamous for insulting Whites, and even calling for their extermination, not to mention what they say about Palestinians and do to them. Jewish Supremacy is based on what has to be the most savage and unequal religious doctrine within Western civilization. ABN
Gavin Newsom has been forced to revoke 17,000 commercial driver’s licenses given to illegal migrants after being called out by Donald Trump‘s transportation secretary.
‘After weeks of claiming they did nothing wrong, Gavin Newsom and California have been caught red-handed,’ Duffy said.
California has informed the licensees they will no longer be valid in 60 days time, with Duffy adding there’s more to come.
‘This is just the tip of the iceberg,’ Duffy said. ‘My team will continue to force California to prove they have removed every illegal immigrant from behind the wheel of semitrucks and school buses.’
Handing commercial licenses out like candy is dangerous. Many illegals do not know how to drive a large truck and/or cannot read traffic signs. There have been a good many fatal accidents due to that. It’s not a small thing on that score. But also it degrades our normal great respect for bona fide American truck drivers, most of whom are experts at the wheel and considerate of other drivers. ABN
Pam Bondi and Kash Patel just blew the lid off the biggest cover-up in American politics.
A hidden cache of Clinton Foundation files — long buried — has finally surfaced. Inside: proof of pay-to-play deals, blocked investigations, and foreign “donations” that bought Washington access while the DOJ and FBI looked the other way.
Congress has the evidence now. This isn’t rumor — it’s receipts.
Obstruction. Bribery. Treason wrapped in charity. For decades they said “no one is above the law.” Time to find out if they were lying.
A Trump-appointed federal prosecutor in Miami has launched a probe into a ‘grand conspiracy’ by Democrats led by Barack Obama to destroy Trump’s political ambitions.
Jason Reding Quinones, US Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, has subpoenaed at least 30 Obama officials involved with an investigation into Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, The New York Times reported.
The Miami probe follows up on a far right theory that Obama officials used the ‘hoax’ investigation in an in attempt to jail Trump after the 2016 election.
Quinones has now issued more than two dozen subpoenas, some to officials who took part in the Russia inquiry. So far, they include ex-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former FBI agent Peter Strzok and ex-FBI lawyer Lisa Page.
Transgender athletes and those athletes with differences of sexual development (DSD) will reportedly be banned from competing in female competitions at the Olympics from early next year.
A report in The Times claims this comes after a science-based review undertaken by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) which looked into the permanent physical advantages of being born male.
Previously, Olympic sports had the power individually to decide whether transgender women could compete if they had reduced testosterone levels.
It turns out that the pipe bomber on Jan 6 was not a man, as had been assumed for more than four years. Reports over the past 48 hours claim that the pipe bomber was a Capitol policewoman by the name of Shauni Rae Kerkhoff. This comes after more than four years of not knowing who the pipe bomber was.
It appears that the FBI and Capitol Police were not interested in identifying the person who planted pipe bombs on the evening of January 5th near the RNC and DNC buildings in DC. Is this because the pipe bomber was one of them, and if it were found out that the Capitol Police were involved with the pipe bombs found on Jan 6, Americans would be outraged with the news?
Perhaps an even bigger reason to cover up the identity of the pipe bomber is that the planting of pipe bombs at the Capitol on the eve of Jan 6 was necessary to ensure the certification of the 2020 election for Joe Biden.
Chinese state media offers a rare inside look at the crackdown on scam operations that have entrapped thousands of Chinese nationals and others
“Should I feel anything?” asks the beady-eyed man, sitting in a padded cell with handcuffs around his wrists.
He’s being grilled by Chinese investigators about the time he allegedly ordered a stranger to be killed – a human offering to celebrate his sworn brotherhood with a business partner.
“Wasn’t he a living, breathing person?” an investigator asks.
“I didn’t feel much,” the man maintains.
The scene may sound like it came straight out of a crime drama. In fact, it is part of a documentary on Chinese state media – a look inside the workings of the justice system almost unheard of in a country where court proceedings are largely kept out of the public eye.
The handcuffed man answering questions is Chen Dawei, a member of the infamous Wei family, one of several powerful mafia groups that for years operated with impunity in Myanmar’s border town of Laukkaing.
His confession forms just one part of a months-long propaganda push by Chinese officials. It both warns Chinese people of South East Asia’s billion-dollar scam industry, and highlights the Chinese government’s crackdown on the men behind an industry which has trapped thousands, and stolen billions.
The message China wants to send, as one investigator puts it, is clear: “It’s to warn other people, no matter who you are, where you are, as long as you commit such heinous crimes against Chinese people, you will pay the price.”
