Minnesota is on top of everyone’s mind once again for all of the wrong reasons. The Somali fraud crisis is being reported as up to $1 billion, but that is just the fraud that is being charged right now. Minnesota U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson has already said that our fraud problem breaks into the billions of dollars, and whistleblowers within the Minnesota Department of Human Services predict the fraud will reach up to $6.5 billion just in the time that Tim Walz has been in office. (snip) They pass these laws, their friends get rich, and when you call it out, you are labeled a racist. .
Amid reports of a federal crackdown targeting Somali immigrants, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey on Wednesday issued an executive order prohibiting law enforcement from using city-owned parking lots for immigration operations. (snip) “This property is owned and/or controlled by the City of Minneapolis. The City of Minneapolis does not authorize this property to be used, and it may not be used, by any federal, state, or local government entity or personnel as a staging area, processing location, operations base, or any other similar use for civil immigration enforcement operations.”

Twin Cities leaders spoke out against the Trump administration Tuesday after The New York Times reported federal officials are planning an alleged "crackdown" on Somali immigration in Minnesota.
A source familiar with the alleged operation told The Times the plan will target dozens of Somali immigrants throughout the Twin Cities region. (snip) Frey first spoke directly to Minnesota's Somali immigrant population, saying, "We love you and we stand with you. That commitment is rock solid."
Two uniformed military personnel, appearing to be National Guardsmen, have been shot in downtown Washington just blocks from the White House, according to two sources familiar with the ongoing situation.
The Metropolitan Police Department said it is on the scene of a shooting at 17th and I streets.
"Please avoid the area as MPD and our partners work to secure the scene," the MPD wrote on X.

Rep. Walter Hudson, R-Albertville, joined Liz Collin on her podcast. He is a member of the Minnesota House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Policy Committee and spoke about the massive amount of fraud in Minnesota. (snip) Collin pointed out how Hudson wasn’t just talking about fraud in Minnesota, but trying to do something about it, and how Hudson called on U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to take action. Hudson said Bondi should buy a second residence in Minnesota because she would “never run out of people to prosecute” here.
The mother of a 12-year-old girl who was raped by a Somali migrant has said her family has received death threats from the Somali community, according to a memo written by state prosecutors.
Earlier this year, Qalinle Ibrahim Dirie was found guilty of first-degree sexual assault after being charged for raping a 12-year-old girl who was playing in her backyard.
The $250 million ‘Feeding Our Future’ free food fraud in which Somali groups stole a quarter of a billion dollars while claiming to feed hundreds of thousands of children who never existed seemed like the biggest case of welfare fraud in Minnesota, but it may be just the beginning.
Somali autism fraud, partly linked to the ‘Feeding Our Future’ scam, may be even bigger and after the FBI raids of autism clinics last December, the scale of it is still being put together.
The Minneapolis Police Department confirmed an active shooter allegedly opened fire at a church on the south side of Minneapolis Wednesday.

The Minnesota DFL vacated its endorsement of State Sen. Omar Fateh for Minneapolis mayor after a review panel found glaring flaws in the voting process.
A flurry of challenges were submitted to the state DFL in the wake of last month’s Minneapolis DFL Convention, pointing out issues with the electronic voting system and questioning whether a quorum was present for the final ballot that clinched Fateh’s endorsement over incumbent Jacob Frey.

Local, state and federal agencies are investigating a cyberattack against the City of St. Paul.
Governor Tim Walz on Tuesday announced he has activated the Minnesota National Guard to assist in the response to the attack, at the city’s request.
According to the Governor’s Office, “the magnitude and complexity of the cybersecurity incident have exceeded the city’s response capacity.”
Acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Minnesota, Joe Thompson, told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS his office has prosecuted half a billion dollars in government fraud over the past couple of years.
Thompson also said that when current investigations are prosecuted and finished, the scope of fraud in Minnesota government programs could exceed $1 billion.
“It’s an extraordinary problem, the fraud that’s pervasive in this state,” said Thompson. (snip) So far, the feds have recouped $60 million in the Feeding Our Future scam..

The unspeakable tragedy that has been visited upon the family of Rob Reiner has likely left all parents in shock.
Given what has been available to read about Nick Reiner these past several days, since the murder of his parents, it has shed a little light on what that family has endured since their son Nick was eight years old, maybe even before that.
He was apparently a difficult child long before he became a drug user.
His parents tried to help him way back then after he disrupted their yoga sessions.
They hired their trainer to work specifically with Nick, thinking yoga would help him

A Wisconsin judge accused of concealing an undocumented man to prevent his arrest by immigration authorities was found guilty of felony obstruction, according to ABC Milwaukee affiliate WISN, which was in the courtroom for the trial.
Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan was charged in a two-count federal indictment that alleges she obstructed official Department of Homeland Security removal proceedings and knowingly concealed the man from immigration authorities at a courthouse in April.
Dugan was found guilty of obstructing federal agents and not guilty of concealing an undocumented immigrant from arrest during an April courthouse incident.
Half of $18 billion in federal welfare funds, which supports 14 Minnesota-run programs since 2018, has been lost to fraud, Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Thompson said during a press conference Thursday.
People come from all over the world to steal millions from U.S. government Medicaid, housing, and other programs, he added. “Minnesota has become a magnet for fraud, so much so that we have developed a fraud tourism industry — people coming to our state purely to exploit and defraud its programs,” Thompson said. “This is a deeply unsettling reality that all Minnesotans should understand.”
A murder spree from hell

The man suspected of carrying out two murderous attacks — one at Brown University that killed two students and wounded nine more, and another that killed the MIT professor in his Brookline home — was found dead in a storage unit in Salem, New Hampshire last night. The murderer apparently took the coward’s way out.
Listening to the Providence press conference last night — it was followed by one featuring United States Attorney Leah Foley speaking about the murder of MIT Professor Nuno F.G. Loureiro — we learned that a witness who had confronted the murderer on the Brown campus provided the key to the breaking of the case
GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik unexpectedly dropped her bid to become New York’s next governor Friday.
“While spending precious time with my family this Christmas season, I have made the decision to suspend my campaign for Governor and will not seek re-election to Congress. I did not come to this decision lightly for our family,” she posted on X.
“While we would have overwhelmingly won this primary, it is not an effective use of our time or your generous resources to spend the first half of next year in an unnecessary and protracted Republican primary, especially in a challenging state like New York.”
Democrats are sinking like a stone, and the new Quinnipiac poll makes it official: their congressional approval rating has hit a historic low of just 18%, with a brutal 73% disapproving. That's the worst number Quinnipiac has recorded since they started asking the question back in 2009. Even CNN's chief data analyst, Harry Enten, couldn't hide his shock, declaring that "Democrats, in the minds of the American public, are lower than the Dead Sea."
The real kicker? Democrats are turning on their own party. Only 42% of Democratic voters approve of how their representatives in Congress are performing, while 48% disapprove.

She Blasts Handsy TSA Agents, Floats Radical Solution 19 replies
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s pregnant daughter had a bad travel experience Thursday morning, and she’s letting everyone know about it on social media by blasting the TSA and their “rude,” handsy ways. In her tweets, she described the frustration that so many of us feel when we are forced to go through the annoying, often dehumanizing ritual of emptying our bags, taking off our shoes, or possibly even being pulled over for a pat-down.[snip]
Yes, I bet all of us have had the experience of rude, power-drunk agents barking orders at you and treating you as if you’ve somehow committed a crime.
Writing this in December as I am you might be tempted to think I’m something of a money-grubbing Scrooge, but let me assure you in this first sentence I’m nothing of the sort. In fact, when it comes to tipping good service, I’m renowned for being generous, and was going twenty percent years before it was standard.
My formula for a tip is this. When I enter an establishment, the wait staff is at twenty percent, perhaps even a little more. The tip is built into my tipping psyche. At that point, it’s up to the wait staff to begin working their way down.
A Georgia State Election Board investigation substantiated that Fulton County violated election rules in 2020 by failing to have poll workers sign required tabulation tapes for early votes in 36 out of 37 advanced voting precincts, affecting approximately 315,000 ballots. These unsigned tapes broke the chain-of-custody and certification requirements under Georgia law, which mandates signed tapes as the sole legal proof of authentic vote totals.
During a board meeting on December 9th, Ann Brumbaugh, attorney for the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections, contends that Fulton County does “not dispute that the tapes were not signed.”
Oof.

Over Epstein Files Release, Offers Pathetic Defense 15 replies
And now, readers, we return to the story that won’t go away, the Jeffrey Epstein saga. The deceased pedophile continues to dominate headlines over six years after his death, mostly because there are rumors that high-profile individuals were involved with his exploits, and if their enemies can prove it, they can be ruined.
There are also countless victims who have never received justice.
Already this Friday afternoon/evening, news broke that today was the deadline Congress had established for the DOJ to release the files, and the department was doing just that. As our Ward Clark reported, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche announced that the investigation had
Kamala's Idea of "normal" is abnormal

Kamala Harris appeared on Jimmy Kimmel’s alleged comedy show and waxed moronic about how “abnormal” Trump and his administration and followers are. She sneered, curled her lips around her disdain, and told the hyper fancritters in the live audience that “Nothing about this is normal and should not be normalized.” (Pick it up at 04:33.)
“Wrong, corrupt, and cowardly” were some words she used to describe the Trump administration and its leader, Donald J. Trump.
Investigators have revealed that the gunman responsible for killing two students at Brown University also killed a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor two days later.
The motives of 48-year-old Claudio Manuel Neves Valente for both attacks remains unclear, but federal prosecutors on Thursday disclosed an interesting detail about the relationship of the killer to one of his victims.
Nuno F.G. Loureiro, the 47-year-old MIT professor, was fatally shot at his home in the Boston suburb of Brookline by his former classmate.
