Is Ilhan Omar a professional liar?

Ilhan Omar was on CBS's Face the Nation yesterday. During her interview, she said "It is just creating fear. What they are doing is creating confusion, chaos, trying to intimidate people from being able to exercise their regular normal activities that they would. There is no justification in any of the things that they say." She continued, saying "The 87 people that you’ve described as being investigated, many of them adjudicated, all happened under the Biden Administration. There is no justification for the surge. We know that ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] has the ability to conduct raids. There is no reason to have over 2,000 people coming into our city and creating the level of terror that they have created."

This is BS. First, finding fraud is different than finding illegal aliens. Next, the Feeding Our Future fraud happened during the Biden administration but that's just the starting point. Next, the U.S. Attorney and his investigators started noticing names that repeated from one program to another. In that respect, Feeding Our Future was just the starting point. It's worth noting that Feading Our Future was administered by Minnesota's Department of Education, aka MDE. What they found while prepping for the Feeding Our Future trial led to another set of frauds. Those frauds involved Medicaid programs. Medicaid is administered by Minnesota's Department of Human Services. First Assistant U.S. Attorney for Minnesota Joseph Thompson stated that it's impossible to prosecute their way out of these frauds. In fact, he said that he could keep many more prosecutors busy if he had them.

Rep. Omar is being deceptive in that the prosecutions and most of the investigations were done by the feds. The feds got some help from whistleblowers working within Minnesota's Department of Human Services. State prosecutors have said that they helped build the cases but, for the most part, the cases were built by whistleblowers. Based on last week's testimony to the House Oversight Committee, I'd bet that asignificant portion of the information in the fraud trials and fraud plea deals came from whistleblowers. Why should the Minnesota AG's office get credit for that? That's a rhetorical question. Watch Ilhan Omar obfuscate on this question:

It's fun getting reminded "Independent journalist Nick Shirley released a 42-minute video showing him visiting various day care centers throughout the Minneapolis area, one of which misspelled the word “Learning” on a banner, prompting a media firestorm. Omar dismissed Shirley’s reporting, claiming he visited the centers when they were not open." Ilhan Omar is apparently allergic to telling the truth.

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?

Image
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...
