Minnesota's fraud racket: classic follow the money scheme

This morning, Minnesota's fraud fiasco just got more interesting. I wrote what essentially is Part I to this series. There's more to this than meets the eye in the initial reading. Further, President Trump just put more white gas on this fire last night by revoking Minnesota Somalis' Temporary Protected Status effective immediately. Trump wrote "Minnesota, under Governor Waltz, is a hub of fraudulent money laundering activity. I am, as President of the United States, hereby terminating, effective immediately, the Temporary Protected Status (TPS Program) for Somalis in Minnesota. Somali gangs are terrorizing the people of that great State, and BILLIONS of Dollars are missing. Send them back to where they came from. It’s OVER! President DJT"

That's harsh. Then again, what some Minneapolis Somalis have done is pretty nasty. What should be noted is that 3 figures are consistently interlinked throughout this fiasco: Tim Walz, Jodi Harpstead and Jeff Johnson. At this point, Tim Walz looks disinterested when he should've been highly focused on these programs.

Jodi Harpstead looked mostly interested in the money when she was at Lutheran Social Services, aka LSS. When she became Commissioner of Minnesota's Department of Human Services, with their history of fraud, especially with Medicaid, Harpstead looked less than interested. Gov. Walz issued this in his statement announcing Commissioner Harptead's resignation:

"I want to extend my deepest thanks to Commissioner Harpstead for answering the call of public service five and a half years ago," said Governor Walz. "I am proud of her work running the most complex and wide-ranging agency in state government. I am especially proud of how Commissioner Harpstead supported the enterprise-wide work to separate DHS into three separate agencies, which will make each of them more effective, more accountable, and easier to manage."
Is there another Jodi Harpstead working in Minnesota's Department of Human Services? The Jodi Harpstead I know that worked at Minnesota's Department of Human Services let money fraudulently fly out the door daily. That isn't something to be proud of. That's something to get disgusted with. Here's some Harpstead word salad: Fraud never sounded this good.

Finally, there's St. Cloud City Councilman Jeff Johnson. If you look closely at this picture, you can see the body armor Jeff is wearing to the City Council Meeting:

You have to look closely but the armor is there. That's the length that Jeff, the candidate I manage, went to to push for transparency. Other candidates say that they'll fight for the people. I'm not questioning their sincerity, though I'll question Tim Walz's sincerity. I don't have to question Jeff's sincerity. Jeff's already fought for people in the anonymity of a small-town city council meeting. That says everything for me.

Tim Walz's hostile work environment at DHS

Image
It isn't a secret that Tim Walz is running for a third straight term as Minnesota's governor. What's been a secret up until this tweet appeared is that Tim Walz's Deparment of Human Services is a hostile work environment. According to the tweet, "Tim Walz is utterly dishonest, malicious at heart & has dangerous intent. The 'folksy' public image Tim Walz portrays is not even remotely what he is like to work with. Despite repeated warnings about fraud, Tim Walz opted to ratchet up the retaliation and silence any ethical voices. Besides fraud, Tim Walz has allowed agencies to spend thousands, possibly millions on retaliation efforts to scare, threaten, and silence concerned employees." The tweet continues "Worst of all, despite unprecedented funds awarded or appropriated to DHS, our agency is now a hollow shell of incompetency as our programs have been destroyed & most ethical staff have left." Don't think that this much fraud happ...

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...

Tim Walz doubling down on Gestapo speech

Image
When Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL governor, delivered the commencement address for the University of Minnesota Law school, he didn't deliver the typical commencement speech. He delivered a highly partisan speech instead. Gov. Walz compared "federal law enforcement agents implementing President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown to a Nazi-era political police force." He called ICE agents Gestapo. Let's compare the 2. The Gestapo's mission was to rid Germany of Jews. To the Gestapo, it didn't matter that these Jews were German citizens and had been decades. Thanks to the Aryan Clauses, Jews were considered subhuman and weren't really Germans. That's an awfully racist viewpoint. Is Gov. Walz accusing law enforcement officers of being racists? I.C.E. I.C.E. agents enforce laws that bipartisan majorities in both houses of Congress have passed and that the president has signed. These immigration bills were negotiated between the 2 parties. The Aryan Clau...
