Aimee Bock's new home

Thursday morning, Aimee Bock got a new home. The mastermind behind the Feeding Our Future grift was sentenced to 41+ years in federal prison. Which prison she's heading to is anyone's guess. Still, it's guaranteed to feature striped sunlight windows. Barring a presidential pardon or commutation, she'll have a few decades to get used to the new sunlight feature. One thing she won't get used to is the $243,000,000 in restitution she's been ordered to pay as part of her sentence.

When given the opportunity to address the court, Bock is quoted as saying "I just want to tell everyone how sorry I am that this happened. I understand the situation I’m in. I understand the jury’s verdict. I understand that I failed. It was not something I ever set out to do."

That's a pile of malarkey. You just accidentally steal $250,000,000 by giving the federal government thousands of fictitious names of kids you're supposedly feeding? Why would I buy that BS? Speaking of buying BS, Aimee Bock's defense attorney is full of it, too:

Her defense attorney said that Bock didn't gain from her fraud. Seriously? Why, then, did they sentence her to 41+ years in prison and order her to pay $243,000,000 in restitution?
The Feeding Our Future scandal gets its name from the nonprofit Bock led, which acted as a sponsor organization for food distribution sites across the state. Many of the individuals who ran those sites have been charged or convicted as well.

"Disabling Aimee Bock from ever meaningfully participating in society again is the only just outcome. The state of Minnesota will never be the same because of Aimee Bock," Assistant U.S. Attorney Rebecca Kline said Thursday.

The scheme involved 91 million meals at 300 sites, "the overwhelming majority of which were never served," she added.

That sounds like a nice recipe for making a fortune.

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

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...

Minnesota Department of Education admits it's corrupt

I couldn't help but smile when I read the headline to this article . The title is "BREAKING: Minnesota Department of Education to strengthen hiring practices — after Alpha News reports." Thank God for well-run government agencies. Under DFL management, the Minnesota Department of Education, aka MDE, has turned inot an embarassment. Thank God Alpha News takes oversight seriously. Alpha News reports that "The Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) says it will now require criminal background checks for “all new hires” and is working to adopt tougher hiring policies—after Alpha News’ exclusive reporting on a convicted sex offender’s employment in a high-level state role." The article continues, saying "The department announced the changes in a letter to Rep. Kristin Robbins, R-Maple Grove, following widespread concern over its hiring of Wilson Tindi, a Kenyan national on the state’s predatory offender registry who was earning $145,000 a year as Director of I...
