(The Center Square) – A whistleblower has raised serious allegations against Washington state's Community Reinvestment Program, which, among other things, aims to support homeownership for minorities by providing grants and funding to programs that assist low-income households. Independent journalist and “unDivided” podcast host Brandi Kruse on Monday published an article based on a months-long investigation into information obtained by real estate agent Corey Orvold, which points to the program becoming a fund for personal enrichment of those charged with distributing the funds.

Portland has become ground zero for a movement the media calls “just an idea.” In this episode, I unpack what Antifa really is—its roots, tactics, and why weak leadership and non-prosecution policies have turned cities like Portland into safe harbors for chaos. Journalist Brandi Kruse joins me to share first-hand reporting (including a recent assault while on the job), expose media spin and political cowardice, and talk about what it will take to restore order. We'll challenge Christians to pray, vote, defend what's good, and support honest journalism.

The “Sheriff” Refused to Remove Him.We must first address, in prayer, the latest child who murdered other children at her school. We will then talk about the lawlessness that was in the show title, a man succeeding in stealing a woman's home. And there to me is a direct connection, broken world, broken circumstances. Episode Links:pagliacci the hated broke the story details on the school murdersKatie Couric and Jessica Tarlov admit Republicans sending illegals to blue cities worked. Call it the “smartest thing they ever did.” Correct. The only way to make left-wingers change is to have them suffer the results of their own policies.Early Friday morning, the King County Sheriff's Office(@kingcosoPIO) moved in to evict Steve Hickey from a Ravensdale house. A judge ruled he was illegally squatting inside Katrina Freitag's property and had to vacate the premises immediately. But last minute, Hickey's attorney convinced the deputies on scene to contact their supervisor, who in turn told them to stand down for now.Earlier this year, Steve Hickey told Brandi Kruse he would move out of the Ravensdale house he was staying in if the judge ruled against him. Well the judge ruled against him, effectively making him a criminal squatter in the eyes of the court since he's now trespassing. Katrina Freitag is the rightful owner of this house. But Hickey is still refusing to vacate the property and a showdown with law enforcement is now inevitable. Somebody help this man come to his senses. He's now starting to believe his own lies.But in this recent video, Hickey boasts about making tons of cash as a social media influencer through social media revenue, sponsorships, and licensing deals with tv stations. By my estimate, Hickey likely clears more than $200K a year.
