The Minnesota Fraud Squad

A vintage honky-tonk country satire about the Minnesota fraud scandal, involving alleged Somali fraud rings, billions in COVID relief money, daycare and school lunch scams, and Feeding Our Future. Told with baritone vocals, chicken-pickin guitar, and a 1950s country sound, this song takes aim at corruption, whistleblowers, and political fallout in Minnesota. Here’s more from Puppetgate.

Inside The Somali Fraud Rings

New reporting  from Christopher Rufo and Ryan Thorpe provides evidence that Minnesota taxpayer dollars are being funneled by Somali immigrants to Al Shabaab, the East African branches of Al Qaeda. The Rufo and Thorpe report appears in the latest newsletter from City Journal.

The Acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Minnesota, Joe Thompson, has now indicted eight individuals on fraud charges. Six of the eight indictments named Somali nationals.

In addition to funneling money to Al Shabaab, these Somalians were buying luxury properties in Kenya and Turkey.“What we see are schemes stacked upon schemes, draining resources meant for those in need. It feels never ending,” Thompson said. “I have spent my career as a fraud prosecutor and the depth of the fraud in Minnesota takes my breath away.”

Providing cover for these criminals — and refusing to conduct any serious investigation into the fraud — was Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota. He’s the chump the Democrats ran to become U.S. Vice President, under Kamala Harris.

Glenn Beck reviews how these massive scams, involving the theft of billions of dollars, have worked and what we can do to stop them.
