Lisa Demuth's brash statement

Apparently, Speaker Lisa Demuth's gubernastorial campaign will be long on brash statements and short on transparency. In Speaker Demuth's latest fundraising appeal, she said "What is Governor Walz hiding and why is he hiding it? Last week a story broke that Tim Walz is refusing to turn over records of Medicaid providers under investigation for fraud to the media and the public. Tim Walz knows there is a law that makes this data public, but his Department of Human Services is refusing to turn it over to the media. I have been clear - when I am governor, the fraud will stop on day one. And on DAY ONE, I will order the release of the fraud files that Tim Walz refuses to release.

That'd be quite the trick. Stopping rampant fraud statewide on DAY ONE isn't possible. Speaker Demuth knows it. She just wants to sound tough. I don't want a governore who sounds tough. I want a governor who is solutions-oriented and who knows he doesn't have to sound tough.

I want a governor who's already absorbed the shots of legislative battle -- and won! As a St. Cloud City Councilman, Jeff Johnson took on CAIR-MN, Lutheran Social Services, aka LSS, the entire St. Cloud City Council, Mayor Kleis and the Stearns County Commissioners to find out what the federal government planned on doing with regard to primary refugee resettlement. It took time but he eventually won. Jeff's already learned what Speaker Demuth apparently still needs to learn.

As a result of Jeff's persistence, he eventually won the fight. He got invited to the planning meetings for refugee resettlement. Jeff had a say in what happened. Can Speaker Demuth say that she's had a say in the rampant fraud running free throughout Minnesota? BTW, after winning the fight on primry refugee resettlement, Jeff Johnson was invited by the Center for Immmigration Studies in Washington, DC, to particcippate in a roundtable discussion. Here's Jeff's presentation before the Q and A session:

THAT'S what accountability looks like.

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...
