🚨Kristi Noem told Congress the $200M ad contract "went out to a competitive bid" with a winner picked by career officials. But only 3 hand-picked companies were allowed to bid: a firm that subbed to a Noem aide's spouse; one linked to Lewandowski; & Trump influencer Erica Knight
DHS said it reviewed "websites" & "industry articles" to determine that these companies were the only ones who could quickly run a $200M ad campaign. But Knight doesn't even do TV ads, one company has an empty web page and disconnected phone; and the other was created days prior.
@AudreyFahlberg reported that Trump is considering ousting Noem after she claimed Trump approved a $200M ad campaign starring herself, purported aimed at the illegal immigrants who watch Fox News (?!). These documents raise more serious questions
@AudreyFahlberg As a Daily Wire investigative reporter who testified to the Senate about government contracting schemes at the request of Republicans, my only skin in this game is that I looked into the contracting records, and they are unusual and we have not heard any compelling explanation.

A DC-area mosque pledged its loyalty to the Iranian dictator “martyred” by the US. Its membership views Khamenei, not America’s elected representatives, as “our leader.”
The daughter of the mosque’s leader reposted a pledge that “resistance fighters” would be born to avenge against the “demonic transgressive empire” America.
I previously wrote about Atefeh Rokhvand, the daughter of the imam, the founder of Teachers Against Genocide who a DC judge ordered to pay a rabbi for falsely accusing him of a crime because he prayed outside the Israeli embassy.
Minority-contracting laws have enriched a class of white D.C. insiders who helm defense contractors who get billions by being "Alaskan native." ASRC Federal announced $153 billion in contracts last month alone! Its CEO is a Dem donor in a Virginia mansion. Natives live in huts.
CEO Jennifer Felix, a donor to Elect Dems Now and Pro-Choice Majority, lives in a 14,000sf home in Loudoun with its own private movie theater. This is the theater in Alaska's North Slope, the "disadvantage" of whose minorities gives Felix's company no-bid contracts.
The Pentagon paid Alaska native firms $45 billion over the last 5 years, for work that was most commonly done in Virginia, not Alaska. The Alaskan scam has been evident for decades.
When DOGE went to audit the African Development Foundation, its CFO locked them out. The move was heralded by Democrats and the media as heroic.
Turns out, when people resist audits, it's because they have something to hide. Today the agency's CFO admitted taking bribes.
Mathieu Zahui, CFO of the USAID-style federal agency, admitted to doing exactly what the Trump team suspected was common in foreign aid. Money was sent to his friend in Africa as a "pass-through," it then came back to him ($12k in bribes) and others in D.C.
Some details are redacted in court papers, so you'll have to get them from @realdailywire, which broke this story last May. Incredibly, *after* we revealed Zahui's bribery scheme, left-wing attorneys pushed a judge for an injunction that would put Zahui in charge of the agency.
DOD paid $19M to a homeless lady's "woman-owned business." She found a white man to do the work, and kept a cut. When I asked her about it, she ranted about "evil Jews" and "male dominated competitive evil war profiteers."
This is why @SecWar is cleaning up minority contracting
Rhonda Valles was eligible for minority contracting because one grandparent was from Spain (the country in Europe).
"She said ‘I got this government contract, do you know anyone with a factory who can help me perform it?’ She was literally living in her car."
She simply made other people do all the work, and had them sign a contract saying they would never try to find out how much money she was skimming as a middle-woman, and would never blow her cover as a mere pass-through. This is what much of 8(a) contracting is, in black+white:
One of the protesters who took over a church service and screamed "shut it down" works for Minneapolis's local prosecutor, is married to a St. Paul councilwoman, is running for state Senate, and runs HOMES FOR HOMIES taking Section 8 money and steering it to black criminals.
Don Lemon interviewed Jamael Lundy from the crowd at random and asked him about how the crowd was "grassroots." But Lundy is the Intergovernmental Affairs Coordinator for Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty, handling the prosecutor's communications with federal officials.
@HarmeetKDhillon is already investigating Moriarty for taking "racial identity" into account when making charging decisions, and HUD is investigating Minneapolis for giving minorities preference when it comes to housing subsidies. Lundy is involved in both.
A Rhodes scholar took a job at a Historically Black University, only to find that its president was running a "criminal enterprise" stealing federal funds, he said in a lawsuit. The college retaliated by firing his PhDs and falsely blaming Trump.
The vice provost, 3 professors, and director of HR have all made similar allegations about the University of Maryland Eastern Shore. One calls it a "private looting opportunity," where bribes were paid, and illiterate students were milked for student loans.
Are HBCUs any different from UCSD, where we recently learned a large portion of students were doing math at a middle school level?
Professors say the Maryland HBCU graduated "students" who didn't even attend class, and looked the other way at plagiarism, to sustain the fiction.
