RE: Fraud in Minnesota
I’m not sure that most Americans understand that in large swathes of humanity, there is no actual concept of “fraud,” particularly fraud against the government. Instead, there is a belief in the virtue of getting away with what you can to help yourself and your tribe.
I spent a lot of my life in the Middle East and Central Asia, working closely with foreign contractors and foreign governments to provide support to American military operations. As a US Army officer with a big checkbook courtesy of Uncle Sam, I can’t really count the sheer number of times I was offered bribes to award a contract, or falsify records to do things like create larger (fake) headcounts at places like dining facilities, or to just simply be on the take for future illegal requests.
Of course I had enough sense to never comply with such requests. Moreover, they were never explicitly structured as “bribes”; instead it was usually along the lines of “Here I have these Rolexes as gifts for you and your wife to show our friendship.” (Unfortunately, too many US officers and NCOs succumbed to this siren song and ended up breaking rocks in Leavenworth.)
The weird thing about this to me was that whenever I turned down such an offering, it was treated as a grave insult. I was the one in the wrong, and not the fraudster trying to bribe me. They considered it rude that I was in their country and refused to accept how things got done. After all, why did I not want to help my tribe by helping their tribe?
Let me repeat: in these cultures, FRAUD IS NOT EVEN A CONCEPT. There is only what helps your tribe.
Such thought processes are so alien to Americans and much of the West. We are raised on the presumption that our institutions are valid, that the rule of law always prevails, and that integrity is universal. We need these presumptions to have working governments and economies, and without those presumptions—without the mental barrier that causes us not to accept outright fraud—our nation would quickly descend into the economic and social hellscape of countries like…. ummm… you know…. SOMALIA!
So when we import people en masse from cultures that accept bribery and fraud as routine, acceptable ways to advance one’s tribe, we should not be surprised that things like the $8 BILLION fraud schemes of the Somali population in Minnesota happen so easily.
Introducing a fraud-based culture based on tribalism into America is like introducing some sort of lethal virus into a population that has no natural immunity. The virus will spread and grow, unchecked, because it is so alien to the host. Similarly, a culture of fraud is anathema to American thinking, and it must be cut out before it consumes the host.
So when you see and hear patriotic Americans decrying what is happening in Minnesota or elsewhere, and when they seek deportation of the offenders, it is not “racism,” it is not “bigotry,” it is not “xenophobia”; instead, it is preserving the American tradition of responsible institutions and national integrity.

$8 BILLION is a huge amount. We need to claw back as much of that as we can. And put these scumbags in prison for a long time. Then deport them.
After Black Hawk Down, it’s inconceivable to me that somebody thought it was a good idea to bring these savages into our country.
How many other states is this happening in?
Don’t disagree but our society increasingly is filled with home grown crooks. And democrats have zero respect for institutions and rule of law. This is just making it worse.
We should just kick out CA, OR and WA out of the Union. The Democrats will lose 74 EVs.
Why? Why did democrats want criminals OVER people from other countries who were willing to ‘wait in line’?
Well, because democrats WANTED criminals who would accept the deal - YOU VOTE FOR US for three generations and we’ll let you work under the table while collecting benefits other Americans pay for.
I do find this article amazing. It goes against all the fundamentals I take for granted. I’m clearly not well traveled.
If Ilhan Omar increased her net worth by $30+ million using insider trading, what are the odds she didn’t share that inside info with her terrorist financier friends?
Yet another reason to end the corrupting H-1B work visa.
In China, it’s called “Tea Money.” Bribes are illegal, but kindly, out of the goodness of your heart, paying for an official’s dim-sum is just being kind. Of course, they might reciprocate
I was reading about Ilhan Omar today, she went from broke to $30 million in ONE year! Plus do people know there is a Level 4 no travel advisory against Somalia? Level 4 is the worst. Kidnapping, terrorism, piracy, internet fraud, bombings, armed robbery, and Trump gets bitched at for calling it a garbage country? It IS a garbage country and democrats imported this! and people are surprised we got ripped off? F them!
I think she’s too stupid for insider trading. I think she was involved in all those scams as was Walz.
How many other states is this happening in?
Also known as the Democrat Party
Many, many moons ago, a San Francisco democRAT said this about elections: "If we don't win, we don't eat.
Working, getting up every day and having to earn a wage is anathema to the democRATS.
.
“How many other states is this happening in?”
Every state that has a demoncrat governor.
The party of satan fraudulently rips off the US taxpayers in addition to the citizens of their states. Their elections are totally fraudulent. That’s why they won’t turn in their voter rolls!
Like I said, the demoncrat party as it is now, is ANTI-AMERICAN to the core.
They HATE one nation under God and will destroy it if we let them.
The malodorous POS, Benedict Obama, thought it was a good idea.
Yes - the entire Left Coast...
