House Republican Majority Whip Tom Emmer of Minnesota accused the state’s Democratic Governor Tim Walz and leftist Attorney General Keith Ellison of covering up massive fraud committed by Somali immigrants so that they could retain that community’s vote in future elections. In an interview with The Daily Wire’s “Morning Wire” on Wednesday, Emmer said that the best way to address rampant fraud in Minnesota would be to remove Walz, Ellison, and Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar from office. He argued that under Walz, the state government would continue to cover up fraud, a large percentage of which is allegedly committed by...

One of the daycares has received $4 million in state funds, according to the video.In his first social media post addressing the latest allegations, Gov.

This is a very good expose' on the fraud in Minnesota and what's been done about it so far. It was published to YouTube 2 months ago and also has an interview with head fraudster Tim Waltz. 'What the Fraud?': A 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS special report

Blue Zone political culture is empty. There’s nothing in it. They don’t make anything, they don’t do anything, they aren’t trying to do anything. Let’s bracket a great piece of journalism with more details and some context. By now, I assume most readers here have seen the magnificent work of the independent journalist Nick Shirley in Minnesota, showing widespread Somali fraud in government-funded programs by simply walking up to the front doors of daycare centers and healthcare organizations and inquiring about their services. Daycare centers with millions of dollars in government funding and no children inside, and neighbors who say...

Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz “turned a blind eye” to repeated warnings that taxpayer-funded day care providers in the state may be engaging in fraud, according to a Republican state lawmaker. State Rep. Kristin Robbins (R-Maple Grove), chairwoman of the Minnesota Fraud Committee and a GOP candidate for governor, told The Post she informed the Walz administration about her suspicions after running a hearing on day care fraud in February 2024 — but it fell on deaf ears. “I gave the Department of Human Services a list of day care providers getting over $1 million in the previous year from...

A Minneapolis child care center has become the unlikely focus of social media speculation and regulatory scrutiny this week after digital sleuths discovered its public contact information led directly to the office of Governor Tim Walz.The facility, identified as Sweet Angel Child Care, went viral on Monday when users on X (formerly Twitter) noted that the phone number listed for the business on Google Maps connected callers to the governor's administration rather than the day care itself. The anomaly surfaced shortly after YouTuber Nick Shirley featured the location in a video investigation released Friday, which sought to verify the legitimacy...

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

In a blistering video, former Fox News contributor and Newsmax TV host Dennis Michael Lynch didn’t hold back, issuing a stark ultimatum to the Trump administration.Lynch’s outrage stems from the massive Somali-led fraud scandals in Minnesota, which have exposed billions in stolen taxpayer dollars under Democrat Gov. Tim Walz’s watch.“This is going to be the shortest video I’ve ever done in my life, based on what we’ve all seen in Minnesota,” Lynch begins in a clip posted on X.“If tens of thousands of Somalians are not deported back to their third-world country, and if government officials like Tim Walz and...

A video exposing childcare centers in Minnesota that were allegedly involved in fraud has caused leftist Gov. Tim Walz’s (D) officials to go on defense. A spokesperson for his office defended him and claimed the governor has long worked to stop fraud, Fox News reported Sunday. “The governor has worked for years to crack down on fraud and ask the state legislature for more authority to take aggressive action. He has strengthened oversight — including launching investigations into these specific facilities, one of which was already closed,” the official said, adding Walz “hired an outside firm to audit payments to...

The Gateway Pundit reported on journalist Nick Shirley’s shocking report exposing millions of dollars of fraud involving Somali daycare centers in Minnesota. Rather than address the fleecing of taxpayers in his state, Governor Tim Walz attacked Shirley instead, calling him a “White supremacist” for daring to expose the fraud. Shirley shared clips of his investigation, including footage of the door being slammed in his face while he asked a Minnesota Childcare Center that claims to care for 102 children, which appeared empty. Shirley released the full 42-minute video of his investigation noting, “We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day. Like...

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz bragged about making it easier for people to get into the child care business during last year’s vice presidential debate with JD Vance, awkward resurfaced footage shows — as the state’s Somali immigrant community has been accused of bilking millions of dollars in aid meant for day care centers. “We have to make it easier for folks to be able to get into [the child care] business and then to make sure that folks are able to pay for that. We were able to do it in Minnesota,” Walz said on stage as he proposed a...

The big question on everyone’s mind right now must be, “When will Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) face indictment for the fraud that didn’t merely take place on his watch, but was allegedly allowed to continue unchecked?" It’s a fair question to ask, given the circumstances. The political ground beneath Walz is looking increasingly shaky. Between mounting scrutiny and unresolved allegations, things are not breaking in his favor. As PJ Media previously reported, independent journalist Nick Shirley and his crew hit the streets, sniffing out over $110 million in fraud in a single day. They targeted outfits posing as child care...

Independent journalist Nick Shirley released a viral video on December 26, 2025, documenting visits to several state-funded daycare centers in Minneapolis. These centers, many catering to the Somali immigrant community, were found empty during operational hours, with no children present and signs of disuse, despite receiving substantial public funding through Minnesota’s Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP). Shirley’s investigation has uncovered over $110 million in suspicious payments in a single day, building on prior scandals like the Feeding Our Future fraud. The revelations have fueled criticism of Democratic Governor Tim Walz, with Republicans like Rep. Tom Emmer demanding answers and linking...

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz pushed back against the ever-growing fraud allegations levied against him in the disastrous aftermath of a viral video where an independent journalist cracked open a crucial part of the alleged Somali aid scheme. A spokesperson for Walz, a Democrat who frequently provokes President Trump’s ire, addressed a bombshell video posted by conservative YouTuber Nick Shirley. “The governor has worked for years to crack down on fraud and ask the state legislature for more authority to take aggressive action. He has strengthened oversight — including launching investigations into these specific facilities, one of which was already closed,”...

MINNEAPOLIS (KMSP) - For five months, Fox 9 has been investigating what appears to be rampant fraud in a massive state program. This fraud is suspected of costing Minnesota taxpayers as much as $100 million a year…… ……These sources have a deep fear, and there is evidence to support their concerns, that some of that public money is ending up in the hands of terrorists…… … Sources in the Somali community told Fox 9 it is an open secret that starting a daycare center is a license to make money

What angers me most about the Minnesota situation is not even the fraud, but the sheer ingratitude behind it. I just spent several weeks in Vietnam, a country where people genuinely love America. History makes that fact almost surreal, but it is absolutely true. For so many people, their greatest dream is to see the United States, not even to immigrate, just to visit. Take the night watch guy at the studio I rent in Saigon. Every night he sat there reading English books. But he was not studying English. He had already mastered that. He was studying American history,...

Minnesota Fraud Is STILL Happening — And the Proof Is On Camera Despite months of headlines, hearings, and promises from Governor Tim Walz, massive fraud allegations in Minnesota appear to be ongoing. In this video, we break down explosive on-the-ground reporting from Nick Shirley, a YouTuber known for man-on-the-street investigations and real-world documentation. Nick went directly to childcare centers, healthcare providers, and welfare-funded facilities across Minnesota — and what he found raises serious questions. 👉 Empty daycare buildings licensed for dozens of children 👉 Millions of taxpayer dollars still being paid out 👉 Multiple businesses registered at the same addresses...

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...

At a Tuesday press conference in Minnesota, scandal-plagued Gov. Tim Walz erupted into what can only be described as an anti-white screed, accusing the Trump administration and Vice President JD Vance of unleashing “white supremacy” across the heartland. Yes, really. Enforcing the law and rejecting divisive racial ideology, according to Walz, now qualifies as racist. The governor’s rant came in response to federal immigration enforcement operations in Minnesota — routine ICE actions targeting illegal immigrants — which Walz framed as a “war” on local communities. “This is what happens when your own federal government wages war against you,” he fumed....
