Is this Tim Walz's system of deceit?

Is it just speculation that Gov. Tim Walz told House DFL legislators to kill the Senate OIG bill? Is it speculation that Speaker Demuth didn't work with DFL legislators in getting the bill into the final budget package? Both things have gotten rumored at the Capitol. I don't find the Demuth speculation credible. With a gubernatorial bid hanging on the horizon, she had too much to lose.

Gov. Tim Walz, though, has incentive to look the opposite direction, starting with the people purportedly involved in the fraud. While it wasn't known that Somalis were behind the Medicaid fraud, it was known that some of the first people indicted in the Feeding Our Future Fraud were Somalis. This year, a weakened Tim Walz will need a big turnout of Somalis to get re-elected.

John Phelan's article digs into this question a little further. The title for his article is "Did Gov. Walz tell House DFLers to squash the bill creating a fraud investigator?"

The part that causes me to question Gov. Walz is when it was reported "The bill, passed Thursday in a bipartisan vote of 60 to 7, has made 11 committee stops since being first introduced. At almost every committee hearing, the bill was co-presented by Senator Michael Kreun (R-Blaine) who served as the lead Republican co-author on the proposal." Let's remember that the DFL had a 34-33 majority in the Senate at the time. Nothing passed with that big of a bipartisan majority last year. The bill was sailing through the House after Senate passage. Then, a new provision was put into the bill, a provision that would've given the IG the authority to prosecute people. After that, the DFL stopped with the bipartisan niceties.

In this interview, late Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman told KARE11 that the bill wouldn't be part of the special session:

At the time, Hortman said the DFL dropped the bill because "it would cost $9,000,000." In a $60,000,000,000+ biennial budget, $9,000,000 isn't even a rounding error. In 2023, the DFL Trifecta raised spending from $57,000,000,000 to $72,000,000,000.

I'm finished with being polite or diplomatic. Tim Walz isn't trustworthy. He can't be trusted. Gov. Stolen Valor has a history of not telling the whole truth. It's a well-documented history.

Minnesota fraud gets national attention

Image
The Walz administration is getting nationwide attention, though it isn't the type of attention political administrations typically seek. Sohrab Ahmari didn't bury the lede when he wrote "There is no whitewashing this scandal: segments of the Somali community in Minneapolis have been engaged in systematic welfare fraud, and used some of the proceeds to fund the Al-Shabaab terror group in their homeland." Imagine the Outrage If... Imagine the outrage if "Hassan and her alleged co-conspirators recruited Somali parents’ children into autism therapy services — even if a child did not have an autism diagnosis — facilitating fraudulent claims. Parents reportedly received monthly kickbacks ranging from $300 to $1,500 per child, with some allegedly threatening to go to other fraud networks unless their rates were increased." It doesn't end there: Sure enough, both the number of autism providers and the rate of diagnosis have ballooned, with Somali activists insi...

Jaylani Hussein's phobia of whites?

A frequent reader of this blog sent me a picture showing gubernatorial candidate Jeff Johnson surrounded by Somalis following a November 2017 St. Cloud City Council meeting. This is that picture: Recently, a different frequent reader of this blog sent me a letter highlighting Jaylani Hussein's paranoia of white people: We are asking every member of our community to stay vigilant. If you see threats, harassment, or hateful content online, especially targeting Somali or Muslim communities in Minnesota, please report them immediately to CAIR-Minnesota and local authorities. We are tracking these developments closely. What’s happening: Our community is under coordinated attack In the last 48 hours, former President Donald Trump announced that he will immediately end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Somali immigrants in Minnesota, a move that could tear families apart and send people back to a country they haven’t seen in decades. He justified this dangerous decision using false, I...

Proof that Tim Walz doesn't care about fraud or other crime

Image
Anyone that thinks that Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL governor, doesn't care about preventing crime or fraud hasn't read this article . Alpha News is reporting that "The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) has confirmed that Dylan Adams, the fiscal policy analyst caught on video vandalizing Teslas in Minneapolis, is still employed by the state — meaning Minnesota taxpayers are footing the bill for his salary. In response to Alpha News inquiries, a DHS spokesperson said: "Dylan Adams is a current employee." Apparently, the Walz administration doesn't care that it's employing a vandal in its Department of Human Services. As for whether Adams "has faced consequences for racking up more than $21,000 in damage during work hours , the agency offered little transparency. 'No public data exists with respect to disciplinary action,' the spokesperson said." This reminds me of the old phrase I coined, which says 'It's impossible to...
