Jul 8, 2024 ~ Senator Marco Rubio points out that the Biden Administration has turned Americans into suckers. "They've worked here their entire lives. They retire. They get $800, $900, a $1,000 a month from Social Security. Somebody who just got here from Cuba 3 months ago is given $1,500 a month." "So imagine if you've been working here for 40 years and your Social Security check is smaller than the benefits going to a 28 year old, able-body person who just got here. That's real. That happens.

"In the now current fiscal year, New York passed a $237 billion state budget, while Florida passed a budget less than half the size at $116.5 billion -- even though Florida now has millions more residents than New York."
"Florida, which now spends $9,130 per student, consistently scores above the national average on 4th and 8th grade reading and math. New York, which spends $29,893 per student, ranks around 46th in 8th grade reading and below average in most other categories."
"Even more striking: New York’s per-student spending rose by about 50% between 2012 and 2022, reaching nearly twice the national average, while its NAEP scores have barely moved. Florida’s scores, meanwhile, have steadily climbed. In fact, from 2003 to 2022, Florida improved its average composite score more than any large state in the country." [Education, Entitlements]

"Medicaid spending will still grow during the budget window, but will just grow a little less than it otherwise would have." "It’s arguable even to call these cuts."

Nov 23, 2025 ~ "‘Send Them Back’: Trump Is Done With Somali Migrants In Minnesota"
"Somali migrants are reportedly involved in a massive welfare fraud that has funneled money to a terrorist group."
"President Donald Trump announced on Friday night that he will end Temporary Protected Status (TPS Program) for Somali migrants in Minnesota, who’ve been connected to a massive welfare fraud."
Trump said, "Minnesota, under Governor Waltz, is a hub of fraudulent money laundering activity. I am, as President of the United States, hereby terminating, effective immediately, the Temporary Protected Status (TPS Program) for Somalis in Minnesota. Somali gangs are terrorizing the people of that great State, and BILLIONS of Dollars are missing. Send them back to where they came from. It’s OVER!"
"During the tenure of Democrat Gov. Tim Walz, billions of taxpayer dollars have been stolen, reportedly funneled through fake nonprofits and shell companies, and — alarmingly — some of that money has ended up in the hands of the al-Qaeda-linked terrorist group Al-Shabaab." “The largest funder of Al-Shabaab is the Minnesota taxpayer,” one law-enforcement source said.
"Much of the fraud has been traced to Minnesota’s Somali community, where politically connected fraudsters have allegedly exploited numerous loopholes in the state’s welfare system. The Medicaid Housing Stabilization Services (HSS) program, designed to help seniors, addicts, and the disabled secure housing, quickly became a cash cow for fake providers. Payments soared from $2.6 million to more than $104 million in just a few years. Operators often ran companies out of dilapidated storefronts, billing for services they never intended to provide."
“What we see are schemes stacked upon schemes, draining resources meant for those in need. It feels never-ending,” U.S. Attorney Joseph Thompson said. “I have spent my career as a fraud prosecutor and the depth of the fraud in Minnesota takes my breath away.” [Entitlements, Immigration, Trump Win]
Nov 23, 2025 ~ 'Minnesota Welfare Fraud: Some Funds Went to Al-Shabaab'
"Minnesota is drowning in fraud. Billions in taxpayer dollars have been stolen during the administration of Governor Tim Walz alone. Democratic state officials, overseeing one of the most generous welfare regimes in the country, are asleep at the switch. And the media, duty-bound by progressive pieties, refuse to connect the dots. In many cases, the fraud has allegedly been perpetrated by members of Minnesota’s sizeable Somali community. Federal counterterrorism sources confirm that millions of dollars in stolen funds have been sent back to Somalia, where they ultimately landed in the hands of the terror group Al-Shabaab. As one confidential source put it: 'The largest funder of Al-Shabaab is the Minnesota taxpayer.'"
This is a long insane story of billions stolen from taxpayers, directed to Somali immigrants, Somalia itself and actual Islamic terrorist organizations. Right under Tim Waltz's nose. A total disgrace that Trump is shutting down and is deporting a lot of the culprits back to Somalia. [Entitlements, Immigration, Islam, Terrorism, Trump Win]
Dec 6, 2025 ~ 'What Did Ilhan Omar Know And When Did She Know It?'
"When the fraud is this big, it seems almost impossible not to have elected officials who knew about it."
"US Rep. Ilhan Omar’s close ties to the $1 billion welfare scam in her Minnesota congressional district are being uncovered. Omar (D-Minn.) held parties at one of the key restaurants named in the fraud, knew one of its now-convicted owners, and one of her own staffers has also been convicted — both for stealing millions. Omar even introduced the bill that led to $250 million in fraud. Yet she claims to have been completely unaware of it." [Ben Shapiro, Entitlements, Omar, Politics]
Dec 8, 2025 ~ 'Minnesota Proves that Politics is a Spoils System'
Very insightful article that shows "every mass movement ends up as a racket." Many government programs had noble beginnings but have turned into major grift. Federal pensions turned into benefits that have ballooned higher than the private sector. Civil rights (non-discrimination) turned into affirmative action and then DIE quotas and discrimination. The desire to help the truly needy turned into a disgraceful 44 million people on SNAP benefits with an insane amount of fraud. The desire to have clean air, water and environment turned into climate change alarmism and grift. On and on. Sad but true...
