Jan 18, 2026 ~ 'Telling the Truth Is Not Racist'   "One of the great advantages the left has is that every time a conservative speaks an uncomfortable truth, it sounds...racist. The facts on the ground make certain groups look better as a class, while others look decidedly worse. We can argue about whether the correlations between violent crime and race have much to do with race itself or whether there is another factor involved, but the raw facts show that black men are more likely to be violent criminals than any other class of people."   72% of Somali immigrants are on welfare. And worse, "Somalis make up about 0.07% of the US population, but the percentage of welfare fraud they commit is astronomical... Even Somali government officials are in on the fraud. The UN Security Council president is Somali, and he owns a government-funded healthcare company in Ohio. A Somali Member of Parliament has a company getting money from the State of Minnesota. Somali fraud is everywhere around the country, apparently, even where almost no Somalis live."   "Democrats are defending this fraud complex as they always defend the indefensible: calling it 'white supremacy.' Apparently, not wanting to get ripped off is a white value, not a basic human need."   "This is the template. You see this all the time. The left will tell a lie. The media will report the lie or not report when the truth comes out. Then when you tell the truth, they call you racist. It's as old as time. We see it all the time."   "Cries of 'racism' are nothing but a weapon being used against anybody who is willing to tell the truth. Nobody is going after Somali fraud because it is SOMALI fraud, but because it is fraud, and corruption corrodes the very foundation of any society."   “Minneapolis paid a Somalian restaurant $12 MILLION in federal child meal funds after it claimed to feed 4,000–6,000 kids a day.” The FBI watched the restaurant for 6 WEEKS. An average of 40 people showed up. [Entitlements, Fake Racism, Politics]
Jan 18, 2026 ~ 'Trump Freezes All Immigration From Somalia Amid Massive Fraud Scandal'   "The State Department is freezing all immigration from Somalia after an internal investigation found that the 'vast majority of Somali migrants take welfare once present in the United States.'"   "The Somali community, especially in Minnesota, has been under fire following a report that accused some of stealing millions in taxpayer funds through fraud schemes."   "The State Department will freeze immigration from approximately 75 countries, including Somalia, on Jan. 21." Its is beyond moronic to import people to put them on welfare, especially when the "vast majority" will got on welfare. Only Trump would be ending this idiocy. The Democrats would have continued it and expanded it.     [Entitlements, Immigration, Trump Win]
Jan 14, 2026 ~ Federal prosecutors just blew the lid off a $7 MILLION SNAP fraud scheme in Boston. Two Haitian nationals have been charged for running so-called “ghost stores” — tiny shops with barely any inventory that were somehow cashing $540,000 a MONTH in EBT. Let that sink in. That’s SIX TIMES the SNAP volume of a real, fully stocked supermarket. The stores were allegedly used to trade EBT for cash and illegal items, draining taxpayer funds at an insane scale. This wasn’t a corner store hustle. This was industrial-level fraud. And people still wonder where the money goes. [Entitlements]
Jan 5, 2026 ~ 'Pam Bondi: 85 Somalis Charged, 60 People Guilty in Minnesota Fraud'   The Somali fraud scandal is really blowing up; so much so that Tim Walz has dropped out of the race for governor. Bondi says, "“We have more prosecutions coming." [Crime, Entitlements, Politics]
Jan 2, 2026 ~ 'Politico reporter seemingly suggests Somalis have a right to shoot citizen journalists for asking too many questions about daycare scandal'   Senior legal affairs reporter Josh Gerstein was upset that amateur YouTuber Nick Shirley was doing his job by actually investigating a story that the #FakeNews would never investigate. Josh said, "At some point, the amateur effort to knock on doors of home daycares intersects with robust stand-your-ground laws."   Gerstein was implying that the Somali fraudsters would somehow be justified in shooting journalists who are asking questions and doing an investigation. This line of thinking only makes sense to leftists for whom violence is an always available tool and threat. [Entitlements, Fake News, Loathsome Left, Violent Left]
Jan 1, 2026 ~ 'Someone Forgot To Send Tim Walz The Memo. Blaming Whitey Doesn’t Work Anymore'   Walz is getting desperate enough to try old tricks. Tens of billions of dollars of fraud are being discovered right under his nose. In the best case he was unaware. In the worst, he was complicit. So now he tries to distract by demonizing white people. (Hey, it used to work...)   "There’s a lot of white men who should be holding a lot of white men accountable for the crimes they have committed." He then unhelpfully points out that "of course the majority being [is] committed by white men." Of course the majority of crime in MN is committed by the majority race. "White people make up almost 80% of the state’s population and charted 50% of arrests in 2024, according to Minnesota’s own crime data. Not bad, white people."   On the other hand, black people make up 5% of the population and commit about 28% of the crime. Worse, "more than 90% of the people charged in the major fraud cases announced before today were of Somali descent." So Tim Walz's deflection cannot cover up the fact that certain groups are committing crime at far FAR higher rates than other groups and white people are below average in this regard, not above.

Jan 1, 2026 ~ "Trump Admin Freezes ‘All Child Care Payments’ To Minnesota Amid Daycare Fraud Scandal"   After it was discovered that half of the $18B medicaid money being sent to Minnesota was being stolen with fraud, Trump smartly cuts it off.   "The state of Minnesota has funneled millions of taxpayer dollars to fraudulent daycares across Minnesota." "We have turned off the money spigot and we are finding the fraud." [Entitlements, Trump Win]
Jan 1, 2026 ~ 'About half of Medicaid's $18 billion in claims paid to Minnesota programs may be fraudulent, official says - Los Angeles Times'   The level of fraud is off the charts! 50% is being stolen. “What we see in Minnesota is not a handful of bad actors committing crimes. It’s staggering, industrial-scale fraud.” “Every day, we look under a rock and find a new $50-million fraud scheme,” Thompson said.   Hundreds of millions of dollars in Somali 'daycare' fraud was exposed in one day by one youtuber. [Entitlements]
Dec 28, 2025 ~ 'Vance Praises YouTuber Nick Shirley Reporting on Minnesota Fraud'   "Here is the full 42 minutes of my crew and I exposing Minnesota fraud, this might be my most important work yet," Shirley wrote. "We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day."   JD Vance exposed the uselessness and bias of the #FakeNews who is totally silent on this story except as usual for FoxNews. "This dude has done far more useful journalism than any of the winners of the 2024 @pulitzercenter prizes." [Entitlements, Fake News, Omar, Politics]
Dec 27, 2025 ~ 'The Somali Experiment Failed, It’s Time to Change Course' "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." "To put it plainly, it has become clear that the Somali experiment in America has failed, just like the failed state of Somalia, and we must begin reversing course." "Many are familiar with Feeding Our Future, the nation’s single largest COVID fraud scheme that defrauded a quarter billion dollars from taxpayers. But the Somali fraud problem actually started with the Minnesota Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) in 2013. Surveillance videos of these Somali-run daycare centers showed children showing up for minutes, then leaving with envelopes of kickbacks while charging for a full day’s worth of child care. Everyone seemed to be in on the fraud, not just a few bad apples collecting millions. Oftentimes, children did not show up at all. The program was defrauded of millions of dollars, with money being transferred to the United Arab Emirates." "We are talking about millions of dollars in cash being stuffed into carry-on suitcases and making its way to the Horn of Africa, all made possible by the Minnesota taxpayer. This phenomenon had begun just as Tim Walz entered office." "This was the blueprint that worked for Minnesota Somali fraudsters. It became an open secret that starting a daycare center was a license to print money. So when COVID hit in 2020, that same blueprint ballooned to the tune of billions. Feeding Our Future alone accounted for at least $250 million, and you guessed it, they used the exact same blueprint as CCAP. This fraud expanded across numerous other agencies. Fake billing, even fake names and birthdates, all to defraud the same taxpayers who extended a helping hand to war-torn refugees seeking a better life in America. And get this, many Somali politicians helped facilitate it, or are likely in on the fraud themselves. U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-MN, introduced the legislation that ultimately allowed Feeding Our Future to fleece millions from taxpayers. She later argued that a lack of guardrails was to blame, even though she introduced the legislation herself." "The fraud on its face is bad enough, but now let us look at the hard numbers behind the Somali community in Minnesota: - Poverty: 58%
- Food stamps: 42%
- Unemployed: 40%
- No high school education: 41%" "Roughly one-third of Somalia’s GDP is produced through remittance payments from the United States." [Entitlements, Immigration, Western Civilization]
Dec 18, 2025 ~ 'The $7 Million Grocery Ghost: How Two Haitian Immigrants Ran A Massive SNAP Fraud Ring'   "Federal prosecutors in Massachusetts have charged two Haitian immigrants with orchestrating a nearly $7 million food stamp fraud operation, exposing yet another glaring failure in America’s welfare oversight and raising familiar questions about how large-scale schemes thrive inside government programs billed as humanitarian."   "While the alleged Haitian SNAP fraud is far smaller in scale, the pattern is disturbingly similar: small storefronts, minimal services, lax state oversight, and political resistance to federal scrutiny — all enabling fraud networks to thrive. Together, the cases highlight a systemic problem: massive welfare programs with weak controls, administered by states unwilling to cooperate with enforcement, become magnets for abuse. Meanwhile, taxpayers foot the bill, and legitimate recipients are left under suspicion as politicians and media downplay the scale of the fraud. As SNAP spending approaches $100 billion annually, these cases raise an unavoidable question: how many more schemes remain hidden — and who is protecting the system that allows them to continue?" [Entitlements, Immigration]
Dec 14, 2025 ~ 'Whistleblower: Massive Welfare Fraud by Somali Migrants in Ohio'   In our last episode, we found out nearly 90% of Somali immigrants in Minnesota are on welfare in addition to the billion dollar fraud scandal they are involved in and now we see that repeated in Ohio.   "Ohio attorney Mehek Cooke says that the same sort of theft of public funding seen in Minnesota has been occurring in the Buckeye State for more than a decade."   "The Somali scammers in Ohio are exploiting a loophole in the state’s Medicaid program that has doled out as much as $91,000 a year per individual, money that is supposed to be paying to care for elderly or infirm family members in the home. She says that Ohio’s system is the "easiest in the Midwest to game.'" [Crime, Debt, Deficit, Entitlements, Immigration]
Dec 14, 2025 ~ "Minnesota: ‘Nearly Every‘ Somali Household with Children Is on Welfare"   This Somali welfare scandal keeps getting worse and worse. "The data shows that 81 percent of Minnesota households headed by Somali refugees are on one or more forms of welfare, including 27 percent who are on cash welfare, 54 percent who are on food stamps, and 73 percent who are on Medicaid. Compare this massive welfare use to native-born Americans residing in Minnesota, only 21 percent of whom are on one or more forms of welfare, including just 6 percent who are on cash welfare, 7 percent who are on food stamps, and 18 percent who are on Medicaid."   "89 percent of Somali-headed households with children in Minnesota are on one or more forms of welfare, as 86 percent are on Medicaid. About 62 percent of Somali households with children in the state are on food stamps, while 23 percent take cash welfare."   “Nearly every Somali household with children … receives some form of welfare.” "Only about 3-in-10 native Minnesotan households with children take one or more forms of welfare, including only 6 percent on cash welfare, 10 percent on food stamps, and 28 percent on Medicaid."   "Somali refugees in Minnesota also tend to be vastly less educated than their Minnesotan counterparts. While only 5 percent of native-born Americans in Minnesota do not have a high school diploma, almost 40 percent of Somali refugees say the same, including more than 28 percent who have lived in Minnesota for more than 10 years."   What the hell are we doing to ourselves? It makes no sense to bring this group of people into America. [Debt, Deficit, Entitlements, Immigration, Western Civilization]
Dec 14, 2025 ~ 'The unaffordable Affordable Care Act'   "The Affordable Care Act—Obamacare—was passed without a single Republican vote, and since, Democrats have been doing their worst to try to convince the public Republicans are to blame for it. That’s because it was never affordable and has required untold billions to prop it up."   "Americans have eventually tumbled to Obamacare’s reality: the insurance is outlandishly expensive, costs far too much for miserly benefits, and is breaking the taxpayer bank. Now, in a revelation that surprises no one, it’s rife with fraud too." The CBO estimates there is $27 billion in annual Obamacare fraud. [Debt, Deficit, Entitlements, Health Care]
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... [Affirmative Action, Climate Change, CRT DIE Wokeness, Entitlements, Loathsome Left, Politics]
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]
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]
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]
Jul 20, 2025 ~ "Democrats’ Medicaid Meltdown Totally Ignores Inconvenient Facts" "Democrats have slammed the Medicaid provisions in the Republicans’ One Big Beautiful Bill Act as 'draconian,' but a closer look at the policy changes reveals that reforms are far more modest than the rhetoric suggests." Fun Fact: They like like this all the time. "They ignore the explosive surge in Medicaid spending over the past decade and mischaracterize reforms that mainly target a widely exploited funding loophole and nonworking, able-bodied enrollees." "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." [Entitlements, Fake News, Health Care, Loathsome Left, Politics]
Jul 14, 2025 ~ 'A Tale of Two States: How Florida Wins Where New York Bleeds'   "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]

Sep 2, 2024 ~ 'No, illegal immigration does not help the U.S. economy' Article debunks a common Dem talking point. "54% of illegals were receiving handouts vs. 39% of U.S citizens." "Compared to households headed by the U.S.-born, immigrant-headed households have especially high use of food programs (36% vs. 25% for the U.S.-born), Medicaid (37% vs. 25% for the U.S.-born), and the Earned Income Tax Credit (16% vs. 12% for the U.S.-born)."

Aug 10, 2024 ~ '5% of all the global Syrian population now lives in Germany, 53% of them are on the public dole' Why is Europe and other western countries importing large amounts of people who don't share western values and go right on welfare? "Germany’s welfare costs are “exploding” while the German citizens bear the brunt—the article reports that the state spent around €50 billion on migrants during 2023, which was a little over 11% of the total annual budget."

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. That's happening every day. That makes no sense." [Biden, Entitlements, Illegal Immigration]
