Guarantee you when newsom runs in 2028 C n n will not report that the california governor is responsible for the same frauds
Further, They will never bring up his billion dollar boondocker. For masks, nor will they compound his interest in being President and the number one executive for law enforcement during COVID. Shut it down everything and going to dinner for a $20000 meal. At the french laundry
This hip piece is nothing more than an acknowledgmeant that the kamela harris and Tim Walz candidacy for president is doomed
CNN has a new CEO. He appears to be making an effort at being more fair. A lot of their talking heads are still biased, but I think the new management is more focused on trying to get back some of the more centrist audience they’ve chased away over the years.
And this.
First Somali Refugee to Run Public Housing Admits to Stealing Millions

1 in 3 Minneapolis Public Housing residents are Somalis... Glass ceilings get broken, then wallets get stolen. Only in America? No. Only in Gov. Walz’s Minnesota. But first, let’s pause to celebrate the incredible historic moment of the first Somali refugee to run a public housing agency.
Sharmarke Issa was confirmed by the Minneapolis City Council to chair Minneapolis Public Housing Authority (MPHA). Issa is the first immigrant and first East African to serve as chair of the MPHA Board of Commissioners. “Having grown up in in Minneapolis public housing after coming to our city as a refugee, Sharmarke’s story of success highlights public housing as vital asset in Minneapolis,” said Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey. “Sharmarke’s life experience and background in urban planning are especially important to MPHA’s mission. At a time when the federal government continues to shortchange housing funding, he will be a skilled steward of our public housing infrastructure who understands and centers the needs of residents.”
Approximately one-third of Minneapolis Public Housing residents are members of the East-African community. One third. 1 in 3 are Somalis. Just one of those little factoids about diversity being our strength. Kinda like Issa’s stewardship. An Edina man who chaired the board of the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority pleaded guilty Wednesday to federal wire fraud charges for his role in the Feeding Our Future nutrition program fraud scheme.
That was a $250 million social welfare fraud to help the Somali community.Sharmarke Issa, 42, admitted to running entities that laundered federal funding for the scheme,
including Wacan Restaurant LLC and a nonprofit called Minnesota’s Somali Community. Issa was responsible for $7.6 million of the $50 million in fraud scheme money that the federal government says it lost, Issa claimed to serve 2.3 million meals to children at his food sites. He admitted that some of the fraud scheme money instead went to properties he purchased in Edina, Minneapolis and elsewhere.
Everyone is now pretending to be shocked and outraged at water being wet. When Sharmarke’s name first surfaced in 2022 as part of the case, Frey said the allegations against him were “appalling” and “run counter to the values that we are entrusted to uphold in the City of Minneapolis.”
Jennings has been wonderful. And the panel (usually) let’s him talk pretty much uninterrupted.
“SHE IS WITHOUT ANY DIMOCRAT WHO HAS INTEGRITY.”
LOL! “Dimocrat” (Dem) in the same sentence as “integrity”.

Ilhan Omar by her own public admission
<><>copped to being to be a Somali foreign agent,
<><>alleged to have committed immigration fraud by marrying her brother,
<><>dismissed 9/11 as “some people doing something”......
<><>just gave away her game....
“I am an American migrant in US Congress. But I am a Somali girl. A girl with your lineage, a girl with your language, a girl with your religion. That was a young child taken from her country and wishes to live there and share with its people. I am hopeful that in the future me and my children will be able to raise our kids in this land, where I was born and raised. To make that possible there is a lot that WE need [sic] work on together to make our land a more stable and prosperous place.”
She’s a Somali girl, in the Somali world.....in Congress?
American Somali and journalist Dr. Caaro translated the above clip.
Omar doesn’t even have dual loyalties! She has ONE loyalty. She is loyal to Somalia and not the United States. Her butt needs to go. Yesterday!
“So they’ll chance another Trump term. Lord knows they tied him up pretty well the first time.”
” They’ve done it once. They’ll do it again, only harder this time.”
The only possible way this could be defeated would be if Trump went all shock-and-awe, medieval on the obvious criminals on Day One. Maybe he learned his lesson by letting Hillary skate the first time around.
In 1-21-25 turn them over to AG Mike Davis (🙏) and then let ‘er rip. There must be at least 20 traitors to get him started — pols and MSM included. Got to cut off the head of the snake immediately.

House Republicans have voted to remove Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee, citing past controversial comments she made about Israel and concerns over her objectivity. The vote was 218-211 along party lines.
In her first term, Omar drew criticism from Republicans and Democrats alike for tweets that invoked antisemitic tropes. She apologized for those tweets but has remained outspoken about the influence of Israel and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, a powerful pro-Israel lobby, on U.S. politics.
The resolution, introduced by Rep. Max Miller, R-Ohio, stated that Omar “has disqualified herself from serving on the Committee on Foreign Affairs, a panel that is viewed by nations around the world as speaking for Congress on matters of international importance and national security.” -—snip
$200M Somali Welfare Fraud Paid for Trips to Mecca,overseas property, high end autos, luxury items
Rep. Ilhan Omar’s favorite restaurant claimed to be feeding 6,000 kids a day

Feeding Our Future, the Minnesota food charity sponsor whose offices have been raided by the FBI over allegations of massive fraud that some estimates have placed in the hundreds of millions of dollars, claimed that it wants to make “the world a better place for all”.
10 members of FOF’s staff boast of speaking Somali, others of Arabic and related languages often spoken by Muslim minorities, but only 3 speak Spanish and only 1 knows Chinese. The organization’s Manager of Operations, Food Program Coordinators Manager, Food Program Support Manager, and multiple administrators, all appear to be Somali.
The contact page is decorated with a photo of a woman in a hijab chowing down on a burger.
The pandemic destroyed lives, hundreds of thousands died, millions lost their businesses and jobs, but a great river of government money flowed to those who knew how to play the game.
As The Counter notes, “In the early months of the pandemic, the Department of Agriculture (USDA) acted quickly to loosen rules governing how child nutrition programs had to operate. Gone were the strict nutrition guidelines, the group dining requirements, and the in-person inspections. Instead, the agency focused on cutting red tape as part of a broad effort to keep snacks and meals accessible to hungry families while mitigating the spread of Covid-19.”
In 2019, Feeding Our Future distributed $3.4 million in taxpayer food aid funds to the non-profits it was sponsoring, In 2020, that shot up to $42 million and then up to $197 million in 2021. These were impressive numbers for a charity that seemed to focus just on Somalis in Minnesota.
While there may be some hungry Somali Muslim kids in the Gopher State, $197 million would buy them all meals at five-star steakhouses before jetting them away from the snow to Vegas. According to a lawyer for Aimee Bock, FOF’s founder, who isn’t Somali, but whose lawyer previously represented a Somali ISIS recruit, “all Ms. Bock did was feed children.”
When over 200 FBI agents converged on the offices of various non-profits, their search warrants claimed that the Somali aid groups received “tens of millions of dollars” but that “almost none of this money was used to feed children.” The FOF’s Minneapolis offices were near the Somali Abu Huraira mosque and not far from a multitude of Somali community organizations.
Some of the money allegedly went to Bock and her boyfriend, Empress Malcolm Watson Jr., apparently a bail bondsman tracking wanted fugitives, who had previously been arrested for domestic violence, and whose construction company received $600,000 from her non-profit. The only client listed on its site has the first name, “Aimee”.
Bill Glahn, a reporter for American Experiment who has been investigating the case, noted that Empress Malcolm Watson, Jr. “has an impressively long list of encounters with local law enforcement. 4 felony convictions, one for theft by swindle and one for domestic assault” which is even bigger than the rap sheet of his revered father, Empress Malcolm Watson, Sr. From there it gets quite complicated.
Abdikerm Abdelahi Eidleh, a Feeding Our Future employee, according to the FBI documents, controlled multiple target premises, opened over 20 bank accounts in the name of his various entities, and “solicited and received kickbacks” from the groups receiving child nutrition cash.
According to Feeding Our Future, the organization’s “extensive knowledge of the USDA Child and Adult Care Food Program” helped “child and adult care programs maximize their reimbursement”. These were the groups on whose behalf it acted as a sponsor. Feeding Our Future was getting a 10% administrative fee off the top. But that wasn’t enough.
Safari Restaurant, which boasts “traditional Somali cuisine” like french fries and safari chicken quesadilla, where Rep. Ilhan Omar had celebrated her victory party, applied to participate in the Federal Child Nutrition program. When the money was denied, Feeding Our Future complained that “minority-owned businesses serving almost exclusively economically disadvantaged children of color” were being denied the right to serve “culturally relevant foods” to “youth” during a “national emergency”.
Crying racism worked and at its peak Safari claimed to be feeding 6,000 children a day. That’s a lot of children. Documents note that the Somali eatery claimed to be serving a comparable number of meals to “the entire St. Paul public school district.”
Safari was just one of the many providers who claimed to be feeding thousands of children. Glahn in American Experiment found that, “Feeding Our Future had 312 authorized sites for the program, approved for a maximum of 126,000 children.” That’s a lot of hungry Somali kids.-—— snip

Part of me can’t help but wonder if the deep state wants a Trump win. Realizing that after 4 years all the chickens are coming home to roost. Deficit time bomb, war everywhere, illegal immigration invasion, recession….. if Trump wins the past 4 years will be memory holed and everything bad that happens will be blamed on Trump.
Maybe this is a stretch, deep state giving up any power even as a strategic move would be difficult for them, but it lingers in my mind
Shapiro is a do0uchenozzle too. They all are.
I'm sure the New York Times and Washington Post are all over this story as we type... /s
Hairy/Balz has as many SCANDALS as THE CLINTONS and BIDENS!!
And isnt it amazing these Third World refugees had “extensive knowledge of the inner workings of the USDA Child and Adult Care Food Program”.......insider knowledge that helped maximize their fraud?
Must have helped to have “someone” in Congress aiding and abetting the massive fraud.
…” misappropriation of state funds led to what the Department of Justice called “the single largest COVID-19 fraud scheme in the nation.” “ …
Well I didn’t see any mention of prosecution of these crimes.
Thanks for posting. BUMP!
Safari Restaurant boasts serving “traditional Somali cuisine”
and is where Rep. Ilhan Omar celebrated her victory party.
Safari applied to participate in the Federal Child Nutrition program
but was denied.......then was apparently cued in to cry “racism.”
Safari complained they were a ...snx...“minority-owned businesses that served
<><>almost all economically disadvantaged “children of color”
<><>were being denied the right to serve “culturally relevant foods” to “youths”
<><>during a “national emergency”.
The pandemic destroyed lives, hundreds of thousands died, millions lost their businesses and jobs,
but a great river of govt tax dollars money flowed to those “who were prepped knew to play the game.”
Crying racism worked and at its peak Safari claimed to be feeding .......
wait for it..... “6,000 children a day”......via falsified documents
To put it in perspective.....the Somali eatery claimed to be serving numbers of
meals in one day....... comparable to feeding “the entire St. Paul public school district.”
Safari was just one of the 312 fraudulent applicants.
