Ilhan Omar Linked To Fraud By Feeding Our Future Founder; Trump’s IRS Case Ends With Huge $1.7B Fund

Hello all you freedom loving people. The fraud in Minnesota continues to be exposed with some perpetrators even going to jail. Trump dropped his lawsuit against the IRS and Treasury so the Anti-Weaponization Fund will be established and the owner of the NBA, Milwaukee Bucks, is the latest to be blackmailed in a Chinese plot. Okay, let's get into it. Amy Balk, the founder of Feeding Our Future, claims that Representative Ilhan Omar knew about Minnesota's COVID meal fraud. Balk was convicted in March of 2025 on conspiracy, bribery and wire fraud charges and now she's in jail while awaiting sentencing. Recently, Balk spoke to the New York Post from the Sherbourne County Jail. Regarding Ilhan Omar, Balk said, I struggle to believe that she wouldn't have known what was happening. According to Balk, Ilhan Omar helped create the conditions that allowed the fraud to grow. In March of 2020, Omar introduced the Meals Act to Congress. The law allowed the Department of Agriculture to loosen school meal rules during the pandemic. Those waivers removed many inspections and they allowed restaurants to join the program more easily. The program was originally supposed to be temporary during COVID lockdowns, but it kept getting extended. Balk claims that Omar's office helped extend those waivers whenever they were about to expire. During Balk's trial, Ilhan Omar's name appeared several times in emails and text messages that were shown in court. Balk said that her group contacted Ilhan Omar's office for help with meal program waivers. One restaurant that was connected to the case was the Safari restaurant. In 2020, Ilhan Omar filmed a video there saying that the restaurant served thousands of meals to children and families every day. Later, the restaurant claimed that it was feeding 5,000 children a day. But its co-owner, Saleem Saeed, was later convicted of stealing $16 million from the program, and he is still awaiting sentencing also. Balk said that many restaurant operators worked closely with Omar's office because they were part of the same Somali community. So, Balk ran this nonprofit called Feeding Our Future. You might have heard of it. It was one of dozens convicted in this $250 million scam. You can see her mugshot there. Prosecutors say this group set up sham restaurants. They pretended they were making these meals. They got paid by the state for those meals, but they just pocketed the cash. Balk, who's looking at 30 years behind bars, tells me the state signed off on those businesses, not her. It all went through a process. They were all approved. They were all paid by the state, yet all the fingers are being pointed at me. Meanwhile, Balk still believes that she did not knowingly take part in the fraud. Balk said that she even warned state officials about suspicious activity, but they did not act strongly enough. Balk had emails showing that she reported possible fraud to the Minnesota Department of Education in 2021. In one email, a state official reportedly told her that the department did not take a position on whether fraud had happened. That email came after Balk reported on a group called House of Refuge, which was claiming that it served 21,000 meals a day. The owner of House of Refuge was later sentenced to three and a half years in prison for stealing $2.4 million in federal funds. Today, President Trump's attorneys filed a court notice and they voluntarily dismissed his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS and the Treasury Department. But then, also today, the Department of Justice announced a new $1.7 billion fund for people who believe that they have been targeted by government weaponization and lawfare. The Treasury agreed to transfer $1.7 billion into the fund created by the DOJ. The announcement of the settlement came after President Trump agreed to drop his lawsuit against the IRS. According to the DOJ, President Trump and his family will not receive money from the settlement, but they will receive an official apology. The settlement now creates the new anti-weaponization fund. The $1.7 billion fund will allow people to file claims, seek compensation, and receive formal apologies. The government will now send the paperwork within 60 days to move the $1.7 billion into the new anti-weaponization fund. The lawyers filed the lawsuit in January. It was connected to a 2023 case involving IRS contractor Charles Littlejohn, who leaked President Trump's and thousands of wealthy Americans' tax records. Littlejohn later pled guilty and he was sentenced to five years in prison, but he is now appealing that sentence. The case was unusual because President Trump was suing agencies to the same government that he now leads as president. District Judge Kathleen Williams questioned whether the lawsuit could even continue if President Trump was both the plaintiff and the defendant. Back in January, while he was speaking to reporters on Air Force One, President Trump did acknowledge that it was unusual. He said, it's very interesting. We're thinking about doing something for charity where I'll give money to charity. Recently, Judge Williams asked both sides to submit their legal arguments by Wednesday. She also brought in outside lawyers to help advise the court and a hearing was planned for next week. But the filing by President Trump's lawyers said that the case was already over because he had the right to dismiss it early without needing approval from the judge. The lawsuit also involved President Trump's sons and the Trump family business. They accused the IRS and the Department of Treasury of failing to properly supervise Littlejohn. A court filing in April showed that both sides were already talking about settling the case and trying to avoid a long legal fight. Today's filing also said that the IRS and the Treasury Department hadn't yet formally responded to the lawsuit or asked for a summary judgment. Because of that, President Trump and the other plaintiffs were allowed to end the case on their own without needing approval from the court or the government. Now the case is dismissed with prejudice. That means that President Trump and the other plaintiffs cannot file the same claims again in the future. And regarding how President Trump is dealing with Iran, the United States just paused a military strike against Iran. Recently, the United States and Israel had started major military preparations. The New York Times said that this was the biggest military buildup since the ceasefire. Reportedly, President Trump met with his national security team to discuss military options and over the weekend, President Trump warned that time was running out for the leaders of the Iranian government. Then today, Pakistan shared a new Iranian proposal with the United States in hopes of helping end the conflict. Axios reported that the White House believes that the latest proposal by the Iranian government was still not enough to end the war. And Reuters said that the United States may allow limited Iranian nuclear activity under international supervision and the U.S. may release part of Iran's frozen money in stages. But the Iranian government wants even more concessions from the United States. But later, President Trump told the New York Post that he was not offering the Iranian government any concessions right now. He said that the Iranian government wanted a deal more than ever because they know something serious could happen soon. Then on True Social, President Trump revealed today that a planned military strike against Iran was paused after requests from the leaders of Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. So serious negotiations are now taking place. But President Trump warned that the military is ready to launch a full-scale attack against Iran at any moment if talks fail. The effects of President Trump's whirlwind visit to China are continuing to be realized. The White House announced yesterday that China will purchase at least $17 billion per year of U.S. agricultural products over the next three years. This is on top of the soybean purchase commitment that China made in 2025, in addition to the recently announced agricultural agreement. The trade agreement explicitly reached between China and the United States this time includes the purchase of Boeing aircraft by China. Originally, the U.S. had expected to sell only 150 aircraft, but Beijing agreed to purchase 200 right off the bat. And if things go smoothly, China will likely be buying 750. So why did the deal with Boeing go so smoothly? This is because China can't build them on its own. Boeing had delivered 15 C919 jets in 2025. That is just over half of the revised target of 28, but it's significantly below the initial target of 75. Production of Boeing continues to face internal workforce shortages alongside delays from foreign suppliers. But the CCP had no option but to purchase from the United States. On Air Force One en route to China, there were two CEOs, Jensen Wang and Elon Musk. At the time, the market widely expected them to reach two agreements with Beijing. First, to sell NVIDIA's H200 chips to China. And second, to secure approval for Tesla's FSD autonomous driving system in China. In the end, neither of these goals was achieved. The decision to not approve Tesla's FSD autonomous driving system is intended to protect China's domestic electric vehicle industry. But China lacks high-end chips. So why didn't they buy the H200 chips? In fact, the deal for the H200 chips was almost finalized. CCP state media had published reports on it. However, Beijing subsequently ordered mainland media outlets to remove the relevant reports. On his return, President Trump stated that China had chosen not to purchase the chips. But why? No official response has been released at this time. However, U.S. policy may be one of the factors in China's concerns. Last year, the U.S. government mandated that sales of the H200 be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, meaning that every company purchasing H200 chips must inform the U.S. Department of Commerce on how those chips will be used. Ten Chinese companies had been approved to purchase the H200. However, the projects they are involved in are all part of the CCP government's strategic plan. So how could the CCP possibly let the United States know the details of these projects? During this visit, Xi Jinping told American CEOs that Beijing would open its doors wider to U.S. companies. But is this true? Following the state banquet on Thursday, business leaders from the U.S. and China mingled at an evening gathering held at one of Beijing's most exclusive clubs, the Capital Club. The Capital Club is located on the 50th floor of Beijing's Capitol Tower and was founded in 1993. It is one of the earliest high-end private clubs in China and is particularly popular among the country's business elite. The club features floor-to-ceiling windows offering a 360-degree view as well as a dedicated elevator that takes just one minute to reach the 50th floor. The Capital Club's brochure is aptly titled, A View from the Top. Standing at such a height and looking down over Beijing, it's hard not to feel ambitious enough to conquer the world. Since then, the club has been known as the top. More importantly, during the critical period of the CCP's reform and opening up in the late 1990s and early 2000s, the Capital Club was deeply involved in and it actively promoted cultural exchanges and economic and trade cooperation between China and other Western countries. When Deng Xiaoping was the leader of the Chinese Communist Party, he was implementing reform and open policies, including bringing in American technology and capital. So, he often met with American business leaders there. Photos of former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger hang on the club's wall. Kissinger was a key figure in promoting the normalization of U.S.-China relations. He often came to this club to dine. There's also a photograph of former President George H. W. Bush and his wife on the wall. They, too, were once guests at this club. The founder of this club was Rong Yuan. A century ago, his family was the wealthiest in China. After the Communist Party came to power, Rong Yuan became one of China's first-generation red capitalists. So, in the mid-20th century, when the Chinese Communist Party was facing a shortage of funds and with technological backwardness and an economy on the brink of collapse, Deng Xiaoping asked Rong Yuan to establish this club. The goal was to attract Western investors to China and provide them with a private secluded venue where they could network, get to know each other, and ultimately discuss business partnerships. And the challenges that Xi Jinping faces today bear similarities to the predicament that Deng Xiaoping faced back then, that is, financial constraints, technological backwardness, and an economy teetering on the brink of collapse. In recent years, Xi Jinping had pinned his hopes for economic revitalization on stimulating domestic demand. However, experience has shown this approach has been completely ineffective. As a result, he had no choice but to turn to the U.S. companies for investment. Decades ago, the CCP did indeed attract a large number of companies to invest in China by offering tax incentives and leveraging the enormous potential market of 1.4 billion people. Gradually, however, these Western companies began to experience the difficulties of operating under the CCP system. Not only is it difficult to transfer the money that is earned out of China, but core technologies are also being stolen. Furthermore, if one fails to comply with the CCP government's political demands, one may be targeted for punishment on various fabricated grounds such as economic violation or tax evasion. So will any American entrepreneurs fall for this trick again? We'll find out in a little while if any follow-up news emerges. Although China needs U.S. investment and the United States needs orders from the Chinese Party, the mutual distrust between the two countries is very evident and openly acknowledged. Even at the state banquet that was hosted by Xi Jinping for President Trump, security remains tight on both sides. Footage from the event show that Xi Jinping's glass was handed to him by Chinese staff while President Trump's glass was handed to him by American staff, presumably to prevent poisoning. Or it was done to prevent the other side from stealing their leader's biometric data. This is the current state of relations between the United States and China. Neither side wants to completely decouple, yet neither side trusts the other at all. As we reported a few days ago, the case of Eileen Wang, the former mayor of Arcadia in California, who pled guilty to acting as an agent for the CCP and subsequently resigned, has exposed the CCP's covert efforts to infiltrate the United States through locally elected officials. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. The New York Post has reported yet another blackmail case that is linked to the CCP. The victim is Wall Street billionaire and Milwaukee Bucks owner Wesley Edens. The person blackmailing him is a Chinese-born divorcee, Chang Li Sophia Liu. Liu runs the New York-based non-profit One World Initiative Advocacy. She is accused of hooking up with Edens and then threatening to share compromising videos and pictures of him. At one point, she demanded a $1.2 billion payout, which is half of his $2.5 billion fortune, prosecutors said. She was arrested at the JFK International Airport while attempting to flee to China following the occurrence. The government requested home detention with GPS monitoring and a $500,000 bond. The bond was posted by a Chinese-American named Robin Mui. He is the CEO of Singdown News, which is a pro-Chinese Communist Party newspaper that operates in the US. Of the total bond of $500,000, $100,000 was paid in cash. Mui is a well-known pro-China government power player. He registered Singdown News as a foreign agent of Hong Kong in 2021 after a demand by the US Justice Department to do so. Not only is he close to Sophia Liu, but he also has a close relationship with Aileen Wang, the former mayor of Arcadia. Campaign records show that he also donated to the campaign of Wang. Questions have been raised about whether Liu may have been involved in Chinese Communist Party's influence operations in the United States due to Mui's involvement in the case. The prosecution pointed out in court that Liu has close ties to the Chinese Communist Party. She had recently transferred hundreds of thousands of dollars to accounts in China, including a large portion of the $1 million that Edens gave her as part of a payoff agreement. It is also reported that she has more assets in China than in America. Emily de la Breyer, a senior expert from the respected conservative think tank, the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said, You have this ecosystem of Chinese language outlets in the U.S. Many of them get funding from Chinese sources, participate in Chinese government dialogue, and clearly have editorial agendas assigned by the Chinese government. Then you have non-profits that have as their mission something along the lines of fostering Chinese-U.S. cooperation or globalization, and most of them do not disclose their funding, but in some cases you can see they are funded by Chinese entities. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is once again facing intense pressure from both within his party and from the public to step down. On Saturday, large-scale public gatherings and demonstrations took place in central London. The Unite the Kingdom rally that was organized by activist Tommy Robinson attracted tens of thousands of participants. Attendees waved British flags and St. George flags to express their dissatisfaction with mass immigration policies and their demand to take back the country. Metropolitan police estimate that approximately 50,000 to 60,000 people participated. The organizers and some supporters at the scene claim the turnout was even larger. They say there were some 150,000 people participating in the rally. In his speech, Robinson urged his supporters to prepare for the battle for Britain. He emphasized that this represents the voice of ordinary British people and not extremism. However, in mainstream media coverage, terms such as far-right are almost universally used to describe the events and the organizers. Nick Shirley also spoke of the event to the cheers of USA, USA from the crowd. Ahead of the march, Keir Stormer accused the organizers of peddling hatred and division. Many independent observers and participants view this as a normal expression of mainstream patriotic and anti-immigrant sentiment. Nowadays, this far-right label is increasingly seen as a political tool in Western politics. Internal pressure from within the party stems from the Labour Party's poor performance in the recent local and regional election. The election drubbing cemented doubts among many party members about Stormer's judgment, vision, and leadership ability. More than 80 lawmakers from his governing centre-left Labour Party publicly called for Stormer to resign or to set a timetable for his departure. However, there are also more than 100 Labour lawmakers that have signed a letter warning against a party leadership contest. A stagnant economy and stubbornly high inflation have made it difficult for Stormer's government to deliver on the promises that it made two years ago. Last week in London, Stormer addressed loyal Labour supporters, and he passionately urged his fellow party members and voters to continue supporting him. He also said that changing the leadership now would lead to chaos, and he promised to take a bolder approach in the future. In his speech, Stormer admitted that since leading the Labour Party to victory in the 2024 general election, he had been too cautious in tackling various challenges facing the UK. However, this statement clearly failed to quell the anger within the party over the crushing defeat in the local elections. If Stormer doesn't step down, any challenger would need support from a fifth of the Labour lawmakers, or 81, to trigger a leadership contest. So far, four ministers have resigned from the government. Health Secretary Wes Streeting was the first to resign from the cabinet on Thursday. Streeting has long been considered the moderate future of the Labour Party. He said that he had lost confidence in Stormer. In an excoriating resignation letter, Streeting wrote, You have shown courage and statementship on the world stage, not least in keeping Britain out of the war in Iran. But where we need vision, we have a vacuum. Where we need direction, we have drift. However, Streeting has not explicitly stated that he is the best candidate to lead the party into the next general election. But if the Labour Party calls a leadership election, he will run for the position. Stormer responded in a generous letter to Streeting saying that he was truly sorry to see him leave the government, and he praised his stewardship of the state-run National Health Service. But Stormer made no reference to Streeting's criticisms. Another likely challenger is former Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner. She told the media that Stormer should reflect on his position, adding that she was ready to play her part in any leadership election if Streeting triggered a contest. The third rival, Greater Manchester Mayor Annie Burnham, is ineligible for the leadership because he doesn't have a seat in Parliament. But things changed last Thursday. A Labour lawmaker said that he would step aside to make way for Burnham. Burnham can seek permission from the party to enter a special election. If elected, he could then mount a leadership challenge. Unlike the Conservative Party, the Labour Party has never ousted a Prime Minister in mid-term. Jonathan Tong, a professor of politics at the University of Liverpool, said they don't do ruthless on their leader. They don't tend to depose their leader. The Conservatives readily do ruthless. However, many in Britain have questioned whether Stormer's government will survive until the next election, which is not scheduled until 2029. And that's a wrap for this episode.
