Jim Nobles harshly criticizes Tim Walz

Jim Nobles, the former legislative auditor of Minnesota, is one of the most well-respected public servants in Minnesota history. When Mr. Nobles speaks on the subject of public integrity, people listen. On Monday, the Minnesota Star Tribune published Mr. Nobles op-ed. This morning, Alpha News published this article based on Mr. Nobles' op-ed. The line that IMMEDIATELY jumped out at me was when Mr. Nobles is quoted as saying "Rather than debate and criticize the U.S. Attorney, the governor should give the people of Minnesota an honest explanation of why fraud was allowed to grow under his administration, and he should apologize for his administration’s negligence."

Jim Nobles is a calm, often understated man. For him to say that Gov. Walz "should apologize for his adminitration's negligence" is an eruption of Vesuvial proportions for Mr. Nobles. Recently, Gov. Walz has tried attacking Republicans for not giving him the authority to go after grifters (my word, not Gov. Walz's). Nobles stopped that immediately, saying "All the state needed was to implement standard financial controls and oversight. Why the Walz administration did not do that is still a mystery, and it is disturbing." Check this report out:

Nobles continued, saying, “It is also a mystery and disturbing why Walz is debating the number used to discuss the fraud problem in Minnesota when it is clear the number has grown into a large number and is likely a really large number. Rather than debate and criticize the U.S. Attorney, the governor should give the people of Minnesota an honest explanation of why fraud was allowed to grow under his administration, and he should apologize for his administration’s negligence.

"Finally, it must also be said that the governor’s criticism of the U.S. Attorney’s Office lacks credibility since it is that office — not any state office — that has brought accountability to those who stole money from Minnesota taxpayers and robbed Somali children and families of the services they need," added Nobles.

The mountain of mistakes made by Gov. Walz is epic. The thing is that it isn't that difficult to figure out. Next, while Gov. Walz has taken credit for cvracking down on fraud, it's ESSENTIAL to note that it's been the U.S. Attorney's office that's negotiated the plea agreements and won the verdicts, not Keith Ellison or Tim Walz. Keith Ellison can make as many of those goofy-looking ads as he wants about cracking down on fraud, etc., etc., but the truth is that Joe Thompson is the fraud difference-maker. Period.

Jim Nobles is right. Tim Walz should apologize for being derelict in his responsibilities. The things that've gotten ignored during the Walz administration are game-changers financially for Minnesota, Minnesota's families and taxpayers.

Minnesota fraud gets national attention

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...
