Always remember that Tim Walz modified the Minnesota state flag to resemble the flag of Somalia.
That is so shameful.

Minnesota created its personal mega welfare system throughout the pandemic, saved increasing on the state degree, it grew from $15 billion in 2022-23 to $21 billion in 2024-25, and is predicted to succeed in $23 billion subsequent fiscal yr. $42 of each $100 new spending goes to the state welfare system. The bulk goes to HHS.
I mentioned the prevalent fraud inside the Somalian-run Feeding Our Future program, the place over $300 million meant to feed needy kids wound up within the palms of criminals. Former Appearing U.S. Legal professional Joseph Thompson stated the investigation unveiled “schemed stacked upon schemes” that stole tens of tens of millions from Medicaid. “It feels endless,” Thompson stated in September, when asserting that eight individuals had been charged with defrauding the housing stabilization companies program of round $8.4 million in complete. “I have spent my career as a fraud prosecutor and the depth of the fraud in Minnesota takes my breath away. The fraud have to be stopped.”
The story worsens at each flip. The FBI first reported that Somalia was recruiting males from Minnesota to take part in terrorist coaching camps. “We actually bought a wake-up name in 2010-11,” Former Hennepin County Sheriff Wealthy Stanek stated. “Younger individuals have been going again to Somalia to take part in terrorist coaching camps and terrorist actions once they had no clear ties again to their tradition. They have been born right here within the U.S. however felt a necessity or have been radicalized to return.” The crime has been missed by state lawmakers, resulting in a widening community.
Somalians concerned in these social program scams have despatched a bulk of the cash again to Somalia by means of Hawala. Hawala is a casual, trust-based system for transferring worth that operates outdoors formal banks. It’s prime grounds for sanction evasion and cash laundering. This system is prominently used inside the African group, who can ship funds to a neighborhood hawaladar, together with a fee, who then sends the transaction particulars and code to a different recipient. The recipient then offers the code to a counterpart dealer and receives the funds of their native foreign money. There isn’t a buyer identification, information, or licensing, and it’s a shock that the federal government has permitted such a program to function.
At my route, @USTreasury is investigating allegations that below the feckless mismanagement of the Biden Administration and Governor Tim Walz, hardworking Minnesotans’ tax {dollars} could have been diverted to the terrorist group Al-Shabaab.

An unknown sum stolen from the state was despatched on to Al-Shabaab, a Somali-based terrorist group. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is investigating the ties, as it’s believed $1 billion from Minnesota was despatched abroad.
Once more, the case continues to worsen because the investigations proceed. Minnesota reported an enormous rise in autism circumstances on the similar time that new autism facilities started rising. In truth, the reporting price grew so considerably that it brought on the nationwide price of autism to extend.
Prices for autism facilities and repair suppliers elevated 700% previously 5 years. The state had round 41 suppliers in 2018, however that determine has multiplied to 328. The quantity these suppliers acquired additionally multiplied over the identical five-year span by 3,000% from $6 million to $192 million.
Asha Farhan Hassan, a 28-year-old Minneapolis lady, pocketed practically half one million {dollars} from the scheme and labored with different members of her group to defraud the state $14 million below the premise of treating kids with autism. She was charged wire fraud for sending tons of of tens of millions to Africa. She additionally bought actual property in Kenya with taxpayer funds. Hasaan billed Medicaid for faux remedy session, utilizing untrained workers with no medical backing. She paid off mother and father between $300 and $1,500 monthly to maintain their children enrolled within the faux program.
State politicians profited from the fraud as effectively. A former Minneapolis mayoral aide, Abdi Nur Salah, pleaded responsible to stealing taxpayer funds. Democratic lawmakers acquired over $50,000 from criminals concerned within the Feeding Our Future rip-off. AG Keith Ellison, his councilman son, mayor Jacob Frey, and Consultant Ilhan Omar all acquired donations from the fraudsters. Ellison has acquired tens of 1000’s in donations from fraudsters for his re-election marketing campaign, and naturally, has not investigated the fraud. Minnesota State Senator Omar Fateh acquired $11,000 in donations from defendants. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey acquired political donations from 9 defendants within the case as effectively.
Individuals with deep pockets have protected these criminals from prosecution. Throughout one trial investigating $41 million in lacking funds, a stranger delivered a bag to a juror containing $120,000 in money. The nameless lady who dropped off the bag warned that extra money can be obtainable if the juror voted to acquit the defendants. The juror reported the incident to the authorities, main the choose to order all jurors to show their telephones over to the FBI to find out who had been paid off, however “Juror 52,” the one particular person of coloration on the jury, was the one one focused. The FBI later charged three defendants on the case of gathering $200,000 in funds to blackmail individuals related to the case.
The criminals had hoped the juror would purchase into id politics. Rep. Ilhan Omar believes she is above the regulation and insists any investigation into Somali-led crime is racist. “My reply was the US authorities will do what we inform the US authorities to do. We, as Somalis, ought to have that confidence in ourselves. We dwell on this nation. We pay taxes on this nation. It’s a rustic the place certainly one of your personal sits in Congress … The lady you despatched to Congress is conscious of you and has the identical curiosity as you,” she stated throughout a 2024 interview.
The Minnesota Metropolis Council additionally deemed investigations “racist.” These politicians are utilizing id politics to gasoline gentle the general public and shield criminals who’re stealing from all People. Trump revoked Short-term Protecting Standing from Somalians for a motive. Individuals from tribal communities usually are not capable of simply assimilate into American tradition. These fraud schemes have taken funds away from US taxpayers and despatched them abroad to assist terrorism. Then we now have US representatives like Omar who don’t symbolize US pursuits. All of this occurred below Tim Walz who has constructed his whole political profession on id politics.
