Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) abandoned his ludicrous quest for a third term on Jan. 5. He has angrily refused to resign from office. Whenever he departs, whether upon his resignation some time this year or the expiration of his term early next year, we can say this much with certainty: Like former President Joe Biden, he has become a dispensable inconvenience to Democrats, in this case, Minnesota Democrats facing the 2026 elections at all levels of state government, and, like Biden, he will leave office in disgrace.To say that Walz is the worst governor in Minnesota history does not come...

When the mainstream “journalists” can’t find a legitimate Somali-run business, it must be bad. The Somali fraud scandal that slow-burned for nearly a decade has exploded with the force of the Pacific Palisades wildfire. Ironically in both events, Democrat politicians laid the ground work for the disaster and left the burning embers that are now consuming them. Indeed, if followed to its logical conclusion, it will be found Minneapolis is just a typical blue city built on a model of fraud that’s been replicated elsewhere: legal and illegal immigration that has allowed them to electorally take over states they would...

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is expected to announce his withdrawal from the 2026 re-election campaign amid increasing scrutiny over fraud allegations, particularly concerning Medicaid programs and Covid-related relief efforts. This decision follows a meeting with Senator Amy Klobuchar and comes in the wake of intensified criticism from Republican lawmakers, who have called for his resignation due to claims of significant fraudulent activity. Federal action has also been triggered, with the SBA suspending thousands of loans linked to suspected fraud in Minnesota. As Walz prepares to address his political future, the implications of these controversies could reshape Minnesota's political landscape moving...

Christmas week was rather a slow week, with the big news being the further unraveling of the corruption in Minnesota, Washington state, California, and other Democrat redoubts. But like George Washington crossing the Delaware to beat the Hessians as they rested on Christmas, the U.S. pulled off an incredible military operation capturing Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro in his pajamas and bringing him back here to answer to criminal charges. The Venezuelan military was largely on Christmas leave and Maduro’s international protectors --- the Chinese and Russian forces in Venezuela -- were caught flatfooted, diminishing their credibility in the Western Hemisphere. The...

These are the lifestyles of the rich and shameless. The Somali fraudsters convicted in the Feeding Our Future scandal flaunted government-funded lifestyles and robust real estate portfolios with the millions of dollars they bilked from the federal government. Brazen scammers stole hundreds of millions of dollars of federal COVID relief funds — spending their loot on tony condos, expensive cars, and real estate projects in Kenya — including a four-story apartment building and luxury resort, according to court documents. Minny insiders marveled this week to The Post at their sheer chutzpah. Liban Yasin Alishire, 43, who pleaded guilty in 2023...

Not the Bee has been summoned. If you handed this in as a plot in a script, the studio would send it back because it just feels too unbelievable. But it’s real and radicalizing stuff. https://t.co/2t4RwNj7Tb— Robby Starbuck (@robbystarbuck) January 1, 2026Imagine Seth Dillon and Kyle Mann huddled around a table with the writers of The Babylon Bee. "How can we top this?" they ask. You can't! Satire can no longer compete with reality! Here's more links for the naysayers: LINKS AT SITE..............

More than one billion Swedish kronor (€92.4 million) in taxpayer funds intended for preschools and schools have been siphoned off through an Islamist-affiliated welfare fraud network in Sweden. A recent probe found that funds meant to support Sweden’s education system were diverted through a network of independent schools allegedly linked to radical Islamist activity. The findings followed a police raid on an apartment in Gävle, north of Stockholm, where several individuals connected to a radical and violent Islamist extremist group were staying. Police were searching for Rabie Karam, described as “one of the main actors” in a network of schools...

MINNEAPOLIS, MN — According to sources, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar gently broke the news to her brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, that it was time for them to start seeing other siblings. Elmi, who married Omar in 2009 to enter the United States before later divorcing to pursue a "familial" relationship, was reportedly dumbfounded to learn he couldn't keep planning family get-togethers with his wife-sister. "I love you, I do," Omar told her brother. "But there's a lot of heat on me because of this day care fraud, and I think it's best that we take a break. There are plenty...

A federal jury in Minneapolis Wednesday convicted Feeding Our Future founder Aimee Bock and former restaurant owner Salim Said on charges of wire fraud and bribery in a trial that followed a lengthy investigation into an alleged scheme to fleece taxpayers out of $250 million by exploiting government child nutrition programs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Jurors deliberated about five hours before finding Bock, 44, guilty on all seven counts. They convicted Said, 36, of all 21 charges, which also included five counts of money laundering. U.S. District Judge Nancy Brasel ordered Bock and Said jailed and did not set a...

Strange happenings at Nokomis Daycare Center in Minneapolis. Manager Jussie Mohamed claimed that two masked men broke into the Daycare center, stole child enrollment records, employee payroll files, and torn checkbook pages and left a noose while yelling "This is MAGA country!" At least, that's how I read it. The reported timeline goes like this: Timeline and Explanation of the Discrepancy Overnight Dec 29–30, 2025 — Alleged burglary occurs (intruder breaks through a wall sometime after 3 a.m.).6 a.m., Dec 30, 2025 — A cleaner discovers the damage and vandalism, alerts management (including manager Nasrulah Mohamed).Morning of Dec 30 —...

Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud claimed in an interview with Al Jazeera on Wednesday that he has intelligence indicating Somaliland agreed to accept displaced Gazans in exchange for Israeli recognition. According to the president, intelligence sources also suggest that Somaliland has agreed to allow the establishment of an Israeli military base on its territory and to join the Abraham Accords, the normalization agreements between Israel and Arab states. He added that there had already been “some Israeli presence” in Somaliland in the past. Mohamud argued that Israel’s recognition of Somaliland was intended to destabilize Somalia and the region. He noted...

Over the past few years, Minnesota has become ground zero for what federal prosecutors now call “industrial-scale” fraud targeting taxpayer-funded social programs. What began as a single high-profile case exploiting COVID-era child nutrition funds has snowballed into revelations of potentially **$9 billion or more** stolen across multiple programs—mostly Medicaid-funded services. The schemes share common threads: shell entities, fake billing for services never provided, kickbacks, and luxury spending or transfers abroad. Here’s a clear, chronological breakdown of how it started, how it grew, and where things stand today. The Spark: Feeding Our Future and Aimee BockThe scandal traces its public origins...

A Maine health services company recently accused by a whistleblower of bilking taxpayers out of millions in Medicaid funds saw its spigot shut off this week as the state Department of Health moved to halt payments from MaineCare. Gateway Community Services is a Portland company run by a Somali-born man who ran for president – the U.S. equivalent of governor – of Jubaland, Somalia, for what would have been a four-year term beginning in 2024, according to his campaign website. Ali’s campaign manifesto includes a point saying he would create "robust security infrastructure" to counter Al-Shabab, while reports out of...

Somali immigrant living in Minneapolis pushes for Sharia law in the United States, while enjoying American freedoms he fled Somalia to find. Once ICE caught wind of his anti-American agitation, they deported him back to Mogadishu, where Al-Shabaab j1had1sts are now hunting him down.

Here is the campaign video of Ubax Gardheere, who emigrated to the United States at the age of 15 around 1996, which makes her something like 40 now. She represents herself as a "proud single mother" of three children, an immigrant, a Muslim, and a person of color. Here is a transcript of the video, which is pretty much a word salad that might have been written by an algorithm. Hi! I'm Ubax Gardheere. I'm a single black immigrant mother and homeowner in the unincorporated area of Renton, and I'm running for King County council in district 9. I came...

We have quickly gone through the stages of the typical Democrat's response to the Somali fraud story: It's not happening. It's happening, but not much. It's happening, but it's a good thing. Except now, POLITICO's Josh Gerstein has thrown in a new step ... Man, why are so many people on the Left so violent? Not to mention ignorant of gun laws? Note, we realize we're being facetious here.

A case study in how moral blackmail paralyzed government and let organized fraud run free A sprawling Somali welfare fraud scandal has swallowed Minnesota. Somali refugees in Minnesota have committed the 'biggest theft of taxpayer dollars in US history' and local Democratic officials were 'fully complicit' in the scheme, White House officials declared Friday night.Federal authorities announced this week that at least 86 people - mostly within small Somali communities in the state - have stolen more than $1 billion in public funds from programs meant to feed children, assist the homeless and provide autism therapy.The suspects allegedly ran companies...

The looting spree by grifters imported from Somalia to transmogrify the demographics of Minnesota has reportedly reached $9 billion. A typical example of Somali fraud is child-free childcare centers. Despite often having heads shaped like light bulbs, Somalis are not known to be bright. How did they come up with such a lucrative scam? Maybe their enabler Tim Walz gave them the idea during the 2024 vice presidential debate. Watch him brag about making it easier to set up these operations and then get them financed on a coercive basis by taxpayers: video on link
