Michael Weidner, Faye Bernstein testify of DHS's culture of Medicaid Fraud

Image
It isn't surprising that another form of welfare fraud has been detected. Last week, Michael Weidner, the executive director of the Minnesota Paratransit Providers Association, testified in the Minnesota House . More accurately, he provided lots of explosive testimony to the House Fraud Prevention Committee. For instance, he testified that "Fraud is not new to NEMT. What is new is DHS’ complete lack of any attempt or desire to curb fraud. This DHS apathy is disgusting." Alpha News reported "NEMT rides have decreased by 62% amid increased scrutiny of fraud. 'That’s a 62% reduction in rides. Where did they go? They just vanished,' he said during a meeting of the House fraud committee last week. 'They weren’t picked up by any other nonemergency medical transportation department … It’s sad to say it but it seems like there’s at least 62% of the rides are fraudulent.'" The Minnesota Department of Human Services responded: "The Minnesota Departmen...

Living proof that the DFL machine doesn't care about minorities

Image
It's apparent that the DFL machine doesn't care about minorities. This Liz Collin article/podcast provides the proof. In the article, Michael Healy, Ed Reed's attorney, said "The Minnesota Court of Appeals affirmed a lower court decision in a case related to Ed’s and that’s Cup Foods. The Court of Appeals recently upheld Judge Wahl’s decision from Hennepin County in that case. And we are now appealing to the Minnesota Supreme Court. That petition for review will go in the next three weeks. Those barricades stood in place and when you talk about Cup Foods, it’s a grocery store; when you talk about Ed’s business, Sincere Detailing, it needed vehicles to get there to function for his business to survive in any way, shape or form. So when the city prohibited traffic for more than a year, these businesses got absolutely crippled." This part pisses me of bigtime. Liz Collin reported "In response to immigration enforcement and Operation Metro Surge, Minneapolis bus...

Rand Paul's paranoia gets exposed

Image
Rand Paul and Thomas Massie love hearing the sound of their voices. It's unfortunate that the rest of the nation is subjected to hearing their voices. Tuesday momrning on Mornings With Maria , Sen. Paul couldn't resist talking up his anti-war stupidity . He said "Already, we are behind the eight ball as far as the electoral process. I think if you add in high gas prices, high oil prices, and if we are still bombing Iran with kinetic action — people don’t want to call it war — if there’s still kinetic action that causes oil to be over $100, I think you’re going to see a disastrous election." First, I don't hesitate in calling our war with Iran a war. They've committed so many acts of war against the U.S. that I won't waste your time listing them. Instead, I'll cite Iran's taking over the U.S. Embassy in Tehran on Nov. 4, 1979 as the initial act of war. If Sen. Paul thinks that's too long ago, that's fine. Next, I'll cite Iran's attem...

DFL is pro-illegal immigration, Medicaid fraud

Image
The DFL just voted to prove that they're the pro-illegal immigration party and the pro-Medicaid fraud party. The DFL just voted to not conform with federal law . According to the article, "Democrats in the Minnesota House of Representatives blocked legislation that would clean state Medicaid rolls, remove Medicaid eligibility for noncitizens, and codify Medicaid work requirements. That legislation would bring Minnesota into conformity with federal law." That would likely cause CMS, aka the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, to cut off Medicaid funds to Minnesota. Further, this DFL stunt would likely trigger another intensive investigation into Minnesota's Medicaid programs. Minnesota has been caught defrauding Minnesotans and other federal taxpayers on Medicaid programs. If the Trump administration penalizes Minnesota for not complying with federal law, Minnesotans won't give the DFL the benefit of a doubt. That's gone after throwing away an $18,000,0...

House Oversight Committee exposed Tim Walz, Keith Ellison as partisan liars

Image
Despite having tons of practice, Tim Walz and Keith Ellison aren't skillful liars, disproving the cliche that practice makes perfect. This MPR article highlights Gov. Tim Walz's contentious testimony before the House Oversight Committee. According to the MPR article, "Walz and Ellison defended the state’s response, acknowledging fraud had taken place in state programs and highlighting steps they’d taken to stop it. Republicans countered that not enough was done and fraud blossomed; they issued a report that they said was based on whistleblower reports and other interviews with state officials." Jim Jordan, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, accused Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz "of trying to 'hide behind' a court order to explain why the state resumed payments to Feeding Our Future (FOF), a nonprofit at the center of a massive pandemic-era child nutrition fraud scheme." Lying to Jim Jordan is stupid, which is what Gov. Walz tried to do: This ...

The DFL's unseriousness crisis

It's virtually impossible to take the DFL seriously. According to Walter Hudson's latest legislative update , "The session is now 25 percent complete, and Democrats have wasted every opportunity to do something productive in this body. Seemingly every single bill that they’re presenting in committee hearings is legislation they know can’t pass a tied House and is entirely performative messaging for partisan likes and political purposes." That's SO DFL! As bad as that is, it gets much worse. Rep. Hudson is one of the brightest legislators in Minnesota. He figures things out quickly. For instance, he wrote "In many cases, what the Democrats propose is outright unconstitutional. Whether it’s a plot to force the feds to do something which we, as a state, literally can’t do, or pushing to take all your guns away and turn your father, your grandpa and your uncle into felons for owning what they’ve owned for 20 years." This year, the DFL's agenda is perfor...

Why didn't Tim Walz care about women allegedly killed by illegal aliens?

Image
Tim Walz definitely didn't show his empathetic side during "a House Oversight Committee hearing" this week. During the hearing, "Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert asked Walz " if he was "familiar with the names of two Minnesota women allegedly killed by illegal immigrants." Then Rep. "Boebert asked Walz if he knew who Victoria Eileen Harwell and America Mafalda Thayer were. Walz said he did not believe he was aware of either victim." Why would Tim Walz care about their names? If he admitted that he knew them, he'd have to admit that sanctuary cities aren't safe. If that happened, it'd devastate the DFL. Davastating the DFL is as unforgivable to a DFL politicians as comitting mortal sins is to Catholics. Rep. Boebert didn't stop there. Rep. Bobert then said "These are Minnesota women who were brutally killed by illegal aliens in your state. You don’t know who they are, so I would also assume that you did not attend their vigils...
