Always remember that Tim Walz modified the Minnesota state flag to resemble the flag of Somalia.
That is so shameful.

Minnesota created its personal mega welfare system through the pandemic, stored increasing on the state stage, it grew from $15 billion in 2022-23 to $21 billion in 2024-25, and is predicted to succeed in $23 billion subsequent fiscal 12 months. $42 of each $100 new spending goes to the state welfare system. The bulk goes to HHS.
I mentioned the prevalent fraud inside the Somalian-run Feeding Our Future program, the place over $300 million meant to feed needy kids wound up within the palms of criminals. Former Appearing U.S. Lawyer Joseph Thompson mentioned the investigation unveiled “schemed stacked upon schemes” that stole tens of tens of millions from Medicaid. “It feels unending,” Thompson mentioned in September, when saying that eight folks had been charged with defrauding the housing stabilization providers program of round $8.4 million in whole. “I have spent my career as a fraud prosecutor and the depth of the fraud in Minnesota takes my breath away. The fraud have to be stopped.”
The story worsens at each flip. The FBI first reported that Somalia was recruiting males from Minnesota to take part in terrorist coaching camps. “We actually received a wake-up name in 2010-11,” Former Hennepin County Sheriff Wealthy Stanek mentioned. “Younger folks have been going again to Somalia to take part in terrorist coaching camps and terrorist actions once they had no clear ties again to their tradition. They have been born right here within the U.S. however felt a necessity or have been radicalized to return.” The crime has been missed by state lawmakers, resulting in a widening community.
Somalians concerned in these social program scams have despatched a bulk of the cash again to Somalia via Hawala. Hawala is an off-the-cuff, trust-based system for transferring worth that operates exterior formal banks. It’s prime grounds for sanction evasion and cash laundering. This system is prominently used inside the African group, who can ship funds to a neighborhood hawaladar, together with a fee, who then sends the transaction particulars and code to a different recipient. The recipient then supplies the code to a counterpart dealer and receives the funds of their native foreign money. There isn’t a buyer identification, information, or licensing, and it’s a shock that the federal government has permitted such a program to function.
At my path, @USTreasury is investigating allegations that underneath the feckless mismanagement of the Biden Administration and Governor Tim Walz, hardworking Minnesotans’ tax {dollars} could have been diverted to the terrorist group Al-Shabaab.

An unknown sum stolen from the state was despatched on to Al-Shabaab, a Somali-based terrorist group. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is investigating the ties, as it’s believed $1 billion from Minnesota was despatched abroad.
Once more, the case continues to worsen because the investigations proceed. Minnesota reported a large rise in autism instances on the similar time that new autism facilities started rising. Actually, the reporting fee grew so considerably that it brought about the nationwide fee of autism to extend.
Prices for autism facilities and repair suppliers elevated 700% prior to now 5 years. The state had round 41 suppliers in 2018, however that determine has multiplied to 328. The quantity these suppliers obtained additionally multiplied over the identical five-year span by 3,000% from $6 million to $192 million.
Asha Farhan Hassan, a 28-year-old Minneapolis girl, pocketed almost half one million {dollars} from the scheme and labored with different members of her group to defraud the state $14 million underneath the premise of treating kids with autism. She was charged wire fraud for sending lots of of tens of millions to Africa. She additionally bought actual property in Kenya with taxpayer funds. Hasaan billed Medicaid for pretend remedy session, utilizing untrained workers with no medical backing. She paid off mother and father between $300 and $1,500 monthly to maintain their youngsters enrolled within the pretend program.
State politicians profited from the fraud as effectively. A former Minneapolis mayoral aide, Abdi Nur Salah, pleaded responsible to stealing taxpayer funds. Democratic lawmakers obtained over $50,000 from criminals concerned within the Feeding Our Future rip-off. AG Keith Ellison, his councilman son, mayor Jacob Frey, and Consultant Ilhan Omar all obtained donations from the fraudsters. Ellison has obtained tens of 1000’s in donations from fraudsters for his re-election marketing campaign, and naturally, has not investigated the fraud. Minnesota State Senator Omar Fateh obtained $11,000 in donations from defendants. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey obtained political donations from 9 defendants within the case as effectively.
Individuals with deep pockets have protected these criminals from prosecution. Throughout one trial investigating $41 million in lacking funds, a stranger delivered a bag to a juror containing $120,000 in money. The nameless girl who dropped off the bag warned that extra money can be accessible if the juror voted to acquit the defendants. The juror reported the incident to the authorities, main the decide to order all jurors to show their telephones over to the FBI to find out who had been paid off, however “Juror 52,” the one individual of coloration on the jury, was the one one focused. The FBI later charged three defendants on the case of gathering $200,000 in funds to blackmail folks related to the case.
The criminals had hoped the juror would purchase into id politics. Rep. Ilhan Omar believes she is above the legislation and insists any investigation into Somali-led crime is racist. “My reply was the US authorities will do what we inform the US authorities to do. We, as Somalis, ought to have that confidence in ourselves. We stay on this nation. We pay taxes on this nation. It’s a rustic the place one among your personal sits in Congress … The girl you despatched to Congress is conscious of you and has the identical curiosity as you,” she mentioned throughout a 2024 interview.
The Minnesota Metropolis Council additionally deemed investigations “racist.” These politicians are utilizing id politics to fuel mild the general public and shield criminals who’re stealing from all Individuals. Trump revoked Short-term Protecting Standing from Somalians for a motive. Individuals from tribal communities usually are not capable of simply assimilate into American tradition. These fraud schemes have taken funds away from US taxpayers and despatched them abroad to help terrorism. Then we have now US representatives like Omar who don’t symbolize US pursuits. All of this occurred underneath Tim Walz who has constructed his total political profession on id politics.
