It isn't a secret that Minnesota is considered Ground Zero for fraud. That's why members of the Trump administration held a news conference in St. Cloud, MN Friday afternoon. Vice President Vance was first scheduled to head the administration's delegation but he didn't come for some undisclosed reason. Instead, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, FBI Director Kash Patel, CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz and FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson led the delegation. The delegation came to "St. Cloud to announce new arrests, federal investigations and an intensified crackdown on schemes siphoning taxpayer dollars from government programs." According to the article, the Trump administration's message was clear: Minnesota’s fraud problem has reached extraordinary proportions, and Washington is no longer looking the other way." Implied is the thought that a) the Biden administration turned a blind eye to the fraud and b) the Walz-Flanagan had ignored the problem until...

Since Tuesday, the people of St. Cloud have known that V.P. J.D. Vance would be visiting St. Cloud. Speculation ran rampant that V.P. Vance's visit would be a campaign visit but that was squashed when it was announced that V.P. Vance's trip was to announce new fraud indictments. Again, speculation ran rampant as to who the indictments might be against, with most speculation focusing on Abdi Daisane, who is running for a seat in the Minnesota House of Representatives. After reading this Alpha News article , it's a fairly safe bet that Daisane will be one of the indictments. The Alpha article reports that "For months, DFL candidate Abdi Daisane has been busy running for a seat in the Minnesota House of Representatives. On paper, his St. Cloud daycare has been pretty busy, too. Blooming Kids Child Care Center was first opened in 2018. The facility is licensed to serve up to 113 children and is scheduled for a license renewal in December." According to the article...

Wednesday morning, Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth held a press availability to essentially expose U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar's work to stop fraud in Minnesota. Specifically, it was held to highlight what wasn't done to prevent the Feeding Our Future fraud and the various types of Medicaid fraud. According to this WDAY article , "Minnesota House Speaker and gubernatorial candidate Lisa Demuth sharply criticized Sen. Amy Klobuchar’s oversight record on state fraud issues during a press conference held eight days before the Nov. 3 election, according to an Oct. 26, 2026 campaign press release titled 'Lisa Demuth exposes Klobuchar’s abysmal, non-existent record of fighting fraud.'" Speaker Demuth has a strong case to prosecute. Sen. Klobuchar's record is more a case of what she SAID than what she did. Speaker Demuth said that "Klobuchar released 1,085 press releases between the initial federal raids and arrests in 2022 and the conclusion of 2025 withou...

It's clear that Michele Tafoya is THE RISING STAR in the Republican Party of Minnesota. Further, it's obvious that it won't take long for Tafoya to overtake Sen. Klobuchar as THE STAR in Minnesota politics. According to this article , "Tony Dungy is backing Michele Tafoya in Minnesota’s Senate race, but he has no plans to enter politics himself. Less than two weeks after telling Sage Steele, 'I don’t think there’s a chance. But never say never,' Dungy’s endorsement became part of Tafoya’s campaign as the November 3 election approaches." According to this tweet , Michele Tafoya said "Tony Dungy is a man of integrity I’ve known for over 30 years, a Hall of Fame coach and Super Bowl champion who got his start right here in Minnesota. I’m honored to have him on our team in this election. Join our team next Tuesday, November 3rd, and let’s bring hope back to Minnesota!" Most endorsements don't get noticed. Either that or they have little effect....

People that didn't think that the Hasan Piker-Ilhan Omar-Omar Fateh get together would be a festival of hating the U.S.A. must've been braindead or worse. This Alpha News article captures the highlights (lowlights?) of the event. Alpha reports that "Piker accused Republicans of being 'terrorists' who are 'terrorizing our neighborhoods,' calling them 'the most un-American force in this country.'" That's pretty rich coming from a guy who was born in New Jersey but who grew up in Turkey, specifically in Istanbul and Ankara. What would he know about being an American? Further, he shared the stage with Ilhan Omar, aka Ilhan Nur Said Elmi and State Sen. Omar Fateh, a pair of Somali politicians who hate the U.S.A. Alpha also reported that the DFL is badly divided, saying "Piker’s own history of inflammatory remarks — including that he would choose Hamas over Israel “every single time” and referred to Orthodox Jews as “inbred” — had already ...

Amy Klobuchar has another credibility problem. Two weeks ago, Sen. Klobuchar filmed this campaign ad in which she said "When I ran the state's largest prosecutor's office, we went after violent crime, fraud and corruption. We even put a powerful judge behind bars because he broke the law. I did my job without fear or favor." That was the Amy Klobuchar of 20+ years ago. Today's Sen. Klobuchar is significantly different. Today's Amy Klobuchar treads lightly when Education Minnesota ISSUES ITS DEMANDS ! Tim Walz is a slave to EdMinn. That's why it isn't surprising that Walz "said he will not enroll Minnesota in a federal program that could provide hundreds of millions of dollars to Minnesota students." Equally unsurprising is the fact that "Sen. Amy Klobuchar, the DFL's nominee for governor, has not said where she stands on the issue." TRANSLATION: Amy won't announce her allegiance to EdMinn until after the election . Once ...
