Some immigrants come to the United States eager to adopt the American way. They assimilate into our culture, take pride in their citizenship, and contribute to society. Others, however, come with the exact opposite set of intentions. They infiltrate our nation planning to overthrow it.

In no other population is this more obvious than in Muslim migrants. Even though most enter and reside in the U.S. legally, keep low profiles, and work and raise families, they pose perhaps an even greater threat than non-Muslim illegal immigrants.

Sara Gonzales, BlazeTV host of “Come and Take It,” warns that this Muslim takeover is “a quiet infiltration.”

“This is a long game that Islam is playing,” she says.

The recent election of Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani as New York City’s next mayor is one result of this silent coup.

“Look at the amount of foreign-born nationals … who voted for him specifically,” Sara says. “By the way, I’m not even talking about any sort of potential illegal alien voter fraud. I’m talking about the people who came here legally, who quietly became naturalized citizens, and now they are voting for a Muslim communist for mayor.”

Their support for Mamdani, she argues, is evidence that “they don’t want to assimilate. … They don’t want to share your values. … They didn’t come here for the American way of life. They came here to take over.”

While the Big Apple’s fate was newsworthy, there are silent pockets of Islamic takeover sprouting up all over our country — perhaps most dangerously in Sara’s home state of Texas.

“If you think that this is isolated to New York City, you are sorely mistaken,” Sara says.

Across the country, but especially in Texas, Muslims are “saying the quiet part out loud.”

“They are very, very clear: They are coming to take over; they are coming to out populate us; and they are coming to conquer the West,” she says.

Take Sheikh Uthman ibn Farooq as an example. A Pakistan-born U.S. citizen who currently resides in Texas, Farooq regularly pushes extremist views. Sara plays several disturbing clips of him saying things that should get him banned from the country, like he’s already been banned in the U.K.

“Islam will enter every house — every house. Don’t worry about the Islamophobes. They can yap all they want. Their children will be Muslim,” he spat in one video.

In another clip, he lauded Islam for its barbaric punishments. “You believe in that Islam that be chopping off hands? Yeah, I do. I think it’s better than what you believe in,” he said.

A third clip shows Farooq vowing to fight any and all enemies of Islam: “You could be from my enemy tribe. You could be from somebody I hate. But if you’re a Mu’min, if you’re a Muslim, you are my brother. You are beloved to me. You could be my own father. If you fight Islam, I will fight you. This is the way a Muslim has to be.”

Sara also plays a video of Palestinian-American Nihad Awad — the current national executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Just last year, he made the following bone-chilling statement at the East Plano Islamic Center in Plano, Texas: “Five years from now, we will have 4,000 journalists, 4,000 filmmakers, 4,000 lawyers, 4,000 political scientists and analysts, and 4,000 students of history that can be teachers of history. In 12 years, if we are consistent, the Muslim community will have 50,000 of each. In the year 2050, imagine the Muslim community will have 100,000 of each. Then we will tell our own story.”

EPIC, Sara reminds, is the same organization trying to build a Muslim city in Texas, complete with residential units, a mosque, K-12 faith-based school, community college, retail shops, parks, and recreational areas.

But the Muslim infiltration of the Lone Star State goes even deeper. Houston is now the home of the nation’s first Ismaili Center — a Muslim cultural embassy advancing the global influence of the Aga Khan, the billionaire imam of 15 million Ismaili Shia Muslims.

“[Texans] are looking at New York City, and they’re like, ‘You guys are screwed,’” Sara says. “Are you joking? We need to be looking in our own backyard because it is still happening right here.”

For months, Silicon Valley insisted the artificial-intelligence boom wasn’t another government-fueled bubble. Now the same companies are begging Washington for “help” while pretending it isn’t a bailout.

Any technology that truly meets consumer demand doesn’t need taxpayer favors to survive and thrive — least of all trillion-dollar corporations. Yet the entire AI buildout depends on subsidies, tax breaks, and cheap credit. The push to cover America’s landscape with power-hungry data centers has never been viable in a free market. And the industry knows it.

The AI bubble isn’t about innovation — it’s about insulation. The same elites who inflated the market with easy money are now preparing to dump the risk on taxpayers.

Last week, OpenAI chief financial officer Sarah Friar let the truth slip. In a CNBC interview, she admitted the company needs a “backstop” — a government-supported guarantee — to secure the massive loans propping up its data-center empire.

“We’re looking for an ecosystem of banks, private equity, maybe even governmental … the ways governments can come to bear,” Friar said. When asked whether that meant a federal subsidy, she added, “The guarantee that allows the financing to happen … that can drop the cost of financing, increase the loan-to-value … an equity portion for some federal backstop. Exactly, and I think we’re seeing that. I think the U.S. government in particular has been incredibly forward-leaning.”

Translation: OpenAI’s debt-to-revenue ratio looks like a Ponzi scheme, and the government is already “forward-leaning” in keeping it afloat. Oracle — one of OpenAI’s key partners — carries a debt-to-equity ratio of 453%. Both companies want to privatize profits and socialize losses.

After public backlash, Friar tried to walk it back, claiming “backstop” was the wrong word. Then on LinkedIn, she used different words to describe the same thing: “American strength in technology will come from building real industrial capacity, which requires the private sector and government playing their part.”

When government “plays its part,” taxpayers pay the bill. Yet no one remembers the federal government “doing its part” for Apple or Motorola when the smartphone revolution took off — because those products sold just fine without subsidies.

The denials keep coming

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman quickly followed with a 1,500-word denial: “We do not have or want government guarantees for OpenAI datacenters.” Then he conceded they’re seeking loan guarantees for infrastructure — just not for software.

That distinction exposes the scam. Software revolutions scale cheaply. Data-center revolutions depend on state-sponsored power, water, and land. If this industry were self-sustaining, Trump wouldn’t need to tout Stargate — his administration’s marquee AI-infrastructure initiative — as a national project. Federal involvement is baked in, from subsidized energy to public land giveaways.

Altman’s own words confirm it. In an October interview with podcaster Tyler Cowen, released a day before his denial, Altman said, “When something gets sufficiently huge … the federal government is kind of the insurer of last resort.” He wasn’t talking about nuclear policy — he meant the financial side.

The coming crash

Anyone paying attention can see the rot. Nvidia, OpenAI, Oracle, and Meta are all entangled in a debt-driven accounting loop that would make Enron blush. This speculative bubble is inflating not because AI is transforming productivity, but because Wall Street and Washington are colluding to prop up stock prices and GDP growth.

When the crash comes — and it will — Washington will step in, exactly as it did with the banks in 2008 and the automakers in 2009. The “insurer of last resort” is already on standby.

The smoking gun

A leaked 11-page letter from OpenAI to the White House makes the scheme explicit. In the October 27 document addressed to the Office of Science and Technology Policy, Christopher Lehane, OpenAI’s chief global affairs officer, urged the government to provide “grants, cost-sharing agreements, loans, or loan guarantees” to help build America’s AI industrial base — all “to compete with China.”

Altman can tweet denials all he wants — his own company’s correspondence tells a different story. The pitch mirrors China’s state-capitalist model, except Beijing at least owns its industrial output. In America’s version, taxpayers absorb the risk while private firms pocket the reward.

Meanwhile, the data-center race is driving up electricity and water costs nationwide. The United States is building roughly 10 times as many hyper-scale data centers as China — and footing the bill through inflated utility rates and public subsidies.

Privatized profits, socialized losses

When investor Brad Gerstner recently asked Altman how a company with $13 billion in revenue could possibly afford $1.4 trillion in commitments, Altman sneered, “Happy to find a buyer for your shares.” He can afford that arrogance because he knows who the buyer of last resort will be: the federal government.

The AI bubble isn’t about innovation — it’s about insulation. The same elites who inflated the market with easy money are now preparing to dump the risk on taxpayers.

And when the collapse comes, they’ll call it “national security.”

When Christian soccer player Elizabeth Eddy wrote that only women should play in the National Women’s Soccer League, her teammates called her transphobic and racist — but all she did was explain that men and women are different.

The professional soccer player for Angel City FC had her op-ed published in the New York Post, where she wrote, “I’m concerned that without clarity about who the league is for, it will lose its identity and its momentum.”

Eddy proposed specific testing methods to verify players’ eligibility, asking the NWSL to adopt a clear standard, using the example that perhaps all players should be born with ovaries as a requirement.

Another option she pointed out was SRY gene tests, which are used in boxing to determine eligibility to compete among women.

The player also cited stats from the NIH, which show measurable differences between men and women when it comes to muscle mass, bone density, and cardiovascular capacity, which directly affect competitive outcomes.

“It’s so stupid that we even have to say this,” BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey comments on “Relatable.”

“The production of testosterone is what makes the difference, not only in puberty but also in utero. So their bone density, their muscle mass, their aerobic and anaerobic capacity. Even if they go on cross-sex hormones, it is insurmountable. A woman just cannot overcome that,” Stuckey says.

“And so, she is speaking the scientific truth about this in an op-ed. Like, she didn’t even bring up any ideological argument. She brought up a scientific argument. She is a Christian. Christians are very clear on this,” she continues.

Despite her scientific argument, her teammates still went public to make sure everyone knew they vehemently disagreed.

“I really want to start off by saying that that article does not speak for this team in this locker room. I’ve had a lot of convos with my teammates in the past few days, and they are hurt, and they are harmed by the article. And also, they are disgusted by some of the things that were said in the article,” one teammate said during a press conference.

“It’s really important for me to say that. And we don’t agree with the things written for a plethora of reasons, but mostly the undertones come across as transphobic and racist as well,” she continued, pointing out that the article calls for genetic testing and has a photo of an African player featured by the headline.

“That’s very harmful, and to me it’s inherently racist because to single out this community based on them looking or being different is absolutely a problem,” she added.

Stuckey is disturbed by the teammate’s reaction, saying, “I just cannot. Racist because they dared use a picture of a black woman.”

“This sister in Christ stood up for what is good, right, and true, and protection of women and girls, and she is getting blasted for it in the comments. She’s getting blasted from her own teammates. She’s being called things that are just not true,” Stuckey says.

“They are maligning her character because she spoke to what is biologically a fact,” she adds.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Trump administration’s request to extend the pause of an order to fully fund food aid benefits for a few days.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson previously granted the emergency pause on an order from U.S. District Judge John McConnell from Rhode Island for the government to fully fund the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Many on the left excoriated her for what they perceived as a pro-Trump order.

‘The only way to end this crisis — which the executive is adamant to end — is for Congress to reopen the government.’

Solicitor General John Sauer argued in the emergency appeal on behalf of the government.

“The core power of Congress is that of the purse, while the executive is tasked with allocating limited resources across competing priorities,” he said.

“But here, the court below took the current shutdown as effective license to declare a federal bankruptcy and appoint itself the trustee,” Sauer contined, “charged with picking winners and losers among those seeking some part of the limited pool of remaining federal funds.”

While the Trump administration had agreed to partially fund the program by about 65%, McConnell’s order called the government to use a separate pool of funding to fully support the program.

“The only way to end this crisis — which the executive is adamant to end — is for Congress to reopen the government,” Sauer said.

That effort to end the government shutdown appeared to be successful after Democrats caved to Republicans demands.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi thanked the court for the ruling.

“Our @TheJusticeDept attorneys just secured a further administrative stay through Thursday at midnight at the Supreme Court to prevent further judicial upheaval for the SNAP and Child Nutrition programs,” she wrote. “Thank you to the Court for allowing Congress to continue its swift progress to end the shutdown WITHOUT last-ditch disruption from lower courts. We will continue fighting and winning to protect President Trump’s agenda from meritless judicial activism.”

Critics of the SNAP program point to examples on social media of recipients proudly admitting to abusing the program. In on case, a woman said she had been on SNAP for nearly three decades, though that report did not indicate whether she was suffering from disabilities.

“The first thing I did was grab my phone and call, and when I heard ‘zero dollars,’ my chest went into my throat!” said Maggie Aragon of New Mexico to KOAT-TV. “I have depended on those benefits since the 1990s, and it’s detrimental to my life if I don’t get them.”

About 42 million people rely on SNAP benefits.

A large-scale criminal investigation into alleged corruption among officials of a Ukrainian state-run energy company reportedly pointed to a former business associate of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, according to a source familiar with the probe.

Seven people were charged in the alleged $100 million kickback scheme, including Energoatom, a nuclear energy agency, according to Ukrainian officials.

Ukraine is under pressure to stamp out corruption as a part of its bid to join the European Union.

The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine said that five of the seven were arrested, but none were named publicly. NABU officials said they conducted 70 searches over 15 months of the investigation.

A Reuters report cited a source familiar with the matter that said Timur Mindich was among those charged. Mindich and Zelenskyy are longtime friends and business associates.

NABU said only that two of those charged were “a businessman who is the head of the criminal organization” and “a former adviser to the Minister of Energy.”

Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko said an urgent audit of Energoatom would be conducted after the agency’s supervisory board was dismissed.

“We expect the audit results as soon as possible,” Svyrydenko wrote on Telegram. “The data will be handed over to law enforcement and anti-corruption bodies.”

Reuters said Mindich did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Ukraine is under pressure to stamp out corruption as a part of its bid to join the European Union.

On Monday, Zelenskyy said in a video address that the integrity of the energy agency is a priority.

“Everyone who has built corrupt schemes must face a clear procedural response,” the president said. “There must be convictions. And government officials must work together with NABU and law enforcement bodies — and do it in a way that delivers real results.”

Critics of the ongoing U.S. support for Ukraine against the Russian invasion have pointed to accusations of corruption to bolster their calls to end military aid to the beleaguered nation.

The allegations of corruption in the energy sector would enrage many Ukrainians who are suffering widespread electricity blackouts as the bitter winter edges closer. Russian missile and drone attacks on the energy grid have also worsened the situation.
