It dawned on me that we really, really need to thank Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer for lighting the fuse (the shutdown) that brought this to light not quite 45 days later.

Had it not been for that, the cockroaches would have stayed in the dark, but instead, out come the EBT scammers whining about how they won’t be scamming taxpayers any more.

Next thing we know, scams on scams on scams are discovered.

So thanks Jeffries and Schumer for blowing the biggest DNC grift out of the water.

PS: note who isn’t in the media spotlight right now? Temu Obama and Stupid Shit Schumer.

The government has way too much of Our money on every level.

Has anyone looked at the size of that hole? One side clearly follows the stud, the next stud would be 16” (actually less) about where the drywall mud is. Did someone bring their 3rd grade kid to infiltrate this center? This among all the other tells, says BS.

Everyone forgets, Elon is South African. This is going to go extremely poorly for the Somalis.

I wish I had heard the exact numbers, but someone compared the number of Somali women unemployed and drawing welfare to the number of daycares. Basically, with so many not working they should not be needing that many daycares since the mothers are at home.

Are there any good stories about who/how/why the migration to Minnesota went down?

I don’t have any linked stories, but the history of it deals with the Somalia-Eriteria-Ethiopia (Horn of Africa) conflicts of the 1990s. Such wars, along with droughts, and other problems created the “refugee crisis” that was broadcast by the mainstream news media.

Various non-governmental organizations (NGOs) got involved in relief operations, and then pressure was applied to start up relocation efforts to Europe and USA.

At the core of these efforts were various church groups, most notably the Roman Catholic Charities and the Lutheran Church. These religious organizations received funds from the USA government, and then the real scams began.

It’s the old “Follow the Money” trail story.

Tim Walz expected to drop out of Minnesota governor race amid Somali fraud scandal, report claims

By MELISSA KOENIG, US REPORTER
PUBLISHED: 02:46 EST, 5 January 2026 | UPDATED: 04:32 EST, 5 January 2026

Tim Walz was expected to drop out of his reelection bid for Minnesota governor amid backlash to the wide-reaching Somali fraud scandal.

The former vice presidential nominee announced that he will be holding a news conference on Monday morning to 'discuss [the] news of the day.'

State officials are being tight-lipped about what Walz may say. But the news conference comes as he faces calls from Republican lawmakers in his state to resign or drop his bid for a third term in office.

Minnesota political insider Blois Olson said that Walz was likely to drop out of the race, with a possible replacement being the state's current Democratic senator Amy Klobuchar.

Olson said the Walz and Klobuchar met on Sunday to discuss their plans.

A growing number of elected officials inside Walz's party also express concerns about the viability of him winning the gubernatorial election, the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Nearly a dozen Democrats who have spoken to the newspaper in recent weeks said they thought Walz should not seek re-election - with some even comparing his run for a third term to former President Joe Biden's doomed 2024 campaign.

'There's always sort of gossip and rumblings,' State Sen. Jen McEwan admitted, though she claimed: 'I'm not a part of the group that's talking actively about this.'

The push to ouster Walz comes amid the fallout over a federal investigation found that dozens of Minnesota residents, predominantly Somali refugees, defrauded the federal government potentially of billions of dollars.

The scandal erupted after independent journalist Nick Shirley uncovered an apparently empty daycare in Hennepin County, which allegedly received $4 million in taxpayers' money.

The shocking film sparked an immediate federal response including by FBI Director Kash Patel and Department of Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem who then announced investigations into the loans.

Prosecutors now say at least 57 people connected with the Feeding Our Future program billed the federal government $250 million, claiming to buy meals for children during the COVID pandemic.

Instead, the defendants allegedly used the stolen money to buy Lamborghinis, Porsche SUVs, beachfront property in Kenya and private villas in the Maldives. The vast majority of those convicted in the case are Somali.

Investigators then found that around $9 billion in federal Medicaid funds supporting 14 Minnesota programs since 2018 may have been stolen, US Attorney Joe Thompson announced on December 18.

Eighty-two of the 92 defendants in the child nutrition, housing services and autism program scams are Somali, prosecutors say.

It was later revealed that Walz had connections with at least some of the refugees charged in the fraudulent scheme.

He was previously once with Abdul Dahir Ibrahim, who has now been taken into Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody

Ibrahim had previously been convicted in Canada of asylum and welfare fraud, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

White House officials then declared that Somali refugees in Minnesota had committed the 'biggest theft of taxpayer dollars in US history' and that local Democratic officials were 'fully complicit.'

On social media, President Donald Trump further called Minnesota a 'hub of fraudulent laundering activity' as he ended the Temporary Protected Status for Somali refugees.

US Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller also said authorities 'believe the state government is fully complicit in this scheme, and we believe that what we uncover is going to shock the American people.'

'We believe that we've only scratched the very top of the surface of how deep this goes,' Miller told Fox News' Sean Hannity.

As the backlash over the scandal continued, Republican Minnesota gubernatorial candidate Dr. Scott Jensen went on television and said the scandal reminded him of Watergate - which eventually led to former President Nixon's resignation.

However, this time in Minnesota 'could be even worse,' Jensen claimed to Fox News.

'Because it's possible that there's something far more nefarious than simply covering something up,' he said. 'It could be a pay to play scheme that involves elected officials.'

The GOP candidate then claimed that Walz and the state's Department of Education 'knew in 2020 that there was a problem' but did not involve federal investigators until the following year.

'And yet they've made claims that as soon as they learned about it, they got the FBI involved,' Jensen told Fox News. 'That's not true.'

Walz has said he is taking strong actions against the alleged fraudsters.

'The governor has worked for years to crack down on fraud and ask the state legislature for more authority to take aggressive action,' a spokesperson for Walz told Fox News last week.

'He has strengthened oversight - including launching investigations into these specific facilities, one of which was already closed.'

Walz also 'hired an outside firm to audit payments to high-risk programs, shut down the Housing Stabilization Services program entirely, announced a new statewide program integrity director, and supported criminal prosecutions.'

Meanwhile, Walz has tried to position himself as a major Trump opponent in his bid for re-election.

He last appeared before reporters on December 23 for an event warning about the fallout from the continuing immigration efforts in Minnesota.

On Saturday, Walz also hit out at Trump for blaming the murder of Democratic lawmaker Melissa Hortman on the Somali fraud scandal.

The president had shared a post to his Truth Social page suggesting that Hortman was killed because she voted to repeal eligibility for undocumented adults to access MinnesotaCare.

After seeing the post, which was liked more than 14,300 times on the president's platform, Walz said it was 'dangerous, depraved behavior from the sitting president of the United States.'

'In covering for an actual serial killer, he is going to get more innocent people killed,' the one-time Democratic vice presidential candidate continued.

'America is better than this.'

Per Fox, Tampon Timmy Taps.

The ones running against him would rip him to pieces and air all his dirty laundry.

His replacement may be harder to beat, but I'm still glad we'll be rid of his vile face lecturing us.

And the Democrats chose this lying, corrupt asshole to be their VP nominee.

Democrats are the party of liars, cheats, thieves, morally bankrupt idiots without an ounce of integrity or decency, willing to sacrifice the entire country for unyielding power.

And yet, that's the claim Dems make against Republicans. It's fascinating, and I see it in my area every work day.

"I ended Tim Walz" - Nick Shirley

Well that's an an arrogant statement to make! A 23 year old kid with an iPhone taking down the man the Democrats tried to prop up to be the most powerful man in America? Well, I can't think of anyone else who deserves more credit. Congrats Nick, thanks for exposing the fraud. take your victory lap, and please go uncover some more.

Yep, I called it. Good riddance to this lying spastic fool and his batshit crazy wife.

How's that for "turning the page" you whacko twat?

The narrative section is quite good as well.

For his part, Walz is not only tainted by the scandal, but his response to it has been laughably incompetent. One way for a politician, especially a Democrat, to survive a scandal is to manage it well. Voters are willing to forgive a well-managed scandal. What they can’t forgive is a bumbler, and Walz is a bumbler.
