PBS Coverage Ignores Islamic Connection in Australia Hanukkah Massacre.

Dec. 17, 2025 . Clay Waters
On Sunday PBS acted like the good liberal news channel it is by whitewashing the obvious Islamic roots behind the massacre of Jews at an outdoor Hannukah party at Bondi Beach in Australia anti-Semitism to instead discuss wholly unrelated incidents in America, like the decade-old Charlottesville, ignoring that even more virulent anti-Semitism was on display in every march in Australia and even in America for over two years now.

Give your dna, Ilhan. And open your banking files to show how you suddenly got rich along with impoverished Somalis arriving here with only a dream of life in America.

‘Unbelievable’ assisted-living Somali tax fraud scheme reached $10 billion
includes indicted figure still getting tax dollars state pay.

A key question is how a bunch of dumbass Somali pirates from a hellhole country knew how to navigate the intricacies of US funding laws. The thieves apparently had expert help.....perhaps even “Congressional” help.


A widespread fraud scandal in Minnesota involves the theft of over $1 billion in federal
and state social service funds, including money for housing and healthcare assistance programs.

The majority of the 87 people charged in the various schemes are of Somali descent, leading
to the schemes often being publicly referred to as the “Somali assisted living fraud”.

The Somali fraud is not a single scheme but a network of Somali thievery that exploited Minnesota’s robust social safety net programs.

Key elements include Diverse Schemes:
<><>Somali frauds involved stealing from multiple programs,
<><>the largest one known as “Feeding Our Future” (a child meal program during the pandemic),
<><>as well as Somali thievery related to housing assistance, behavioral health, and autism services.
<><>thieving Somalis submitting fraudulent invoices and claims for services
<><>Somali thieves outright lied using “ghost billing” to steal
<><>and falsely certifying Somali individuals as eligible for care.

Federal prosecutors have charged 87 individuals in the past three years, with 61 already convicted. The total amount stolen is estimated to be over a billion dollars, much of which Somali thieves spent on luxury goods like cars and international travel, and real estate here and abroad.

Somali Terrorism Ties: Investigative reports suggest that some of the Somali thievery may have been funneled overseas through informal cash-transfer networks (hawalas) and potentially reached the terrorist group al-Shabaab......in Somalia.
Prosecutors have also stated the primary motive appeared to be Somalis personal enrichment.

The Somali thieving scandal has generated significant political controversy in Minnesota and nationally. Critics of the state government claim officials were slow to act on red flags for fear of being accused of “racism” which the thieves used as a calculated MO to mitigate the thievery.

The scandal has been a focus of the Trump administration, which has ramped up investigations targeting the community. The story continues to develop, with ongoing federal investigations and new charges expected.

Liz, the reported number today has soared WAY PAST $1 billion.

THE FRAUD THIS TIME…
By Scott Johnson
December 17, 2025
Powerline Blog

First Assistanted United States Attorney Joe Thompson held press conference at the federal courthouse in downtown Minneapolis today. Powerline has been closely following the "Mountains O’ Fraud" committed by a large cast of almost exclusively Somali perpetrators under the averted gaze of Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison.

Mr. Thompson announced charges against six defendants in cases arising from fraud on Minnesota’s “waivered” Medicaid programs. The best is yet to come, so to speak, as the United States Attorney continues to investigate frauds that he estimates may total half of the $18 billion spent on these programs since 2018.

NINE BILLION of fraud in Minneapolis since 2018!

I have a great idea.
Let’s have Ilhan Omar and Milfy Taylor-Greene provide their last 5 years financial statements at the same time.
Kinda one of them... “I’ll show you mine if you show me yours” deal.
Make BOTH sides happy, yeah?

That is just Minneapolis. Tons more across the nation.

We are not suppose to pay attention to that, we are suppose to look at the mean tweets by President Trump instead.

Trump is crass, makes jokes like he’s in a gym locker room, he spews personal insults, and uses colorful metaphors at times, BUT he’s almost always right.

They can complain about the form all day long.

But the function, the substance, is probably true.

She probably married her brother and broke immigration law to become a citizen and now sits in Congress because of course a bunch of non-racist Muslims and Somali’s will vote for her merely on the basis of religion and national origin.

As a matter of fact, it’s hard to picture Ilhan crying.

She sneers.

She smirks.

She rolls her eyes over people stupid enough to criticize her or support Trump.

She laughs inappropriately (as: “they should have (laughing) had some guardrails (laughing) if they expected to stop the money being taken.) While discussion taxpayer losses of billions to creepy Somalian con artists.

A little more of that and we'll be talking about some real money. (nod to Sen. Everett Dirksen (1896-1969)).

It wasn't THAT kind of a marriage. She wanted her gay brother safe in the USA. She “married” him, for immigration not for incest. Get a grip. This story is 8 years old.

Hey Maddog, I know that you are a fraud because we don't use
that kind of language here on FR. Most Freepers are intelligent and have quite developed vocabularies. So take you C and pack it in.

If you reply to me with your vile, you will get blocked from here.
