    “The fraud of your taxpayer money is happening nationwide and is liberally applied to attract illegal (and some legal) immigrants who will reliably vote Democrat.

    The more you look, the more you find. And you don’t need to be a world-class detective to figure it out. This is brazen, daylight robbery.”

    “Ohio attorney Mehek Cooke CONFIRMS MASSIVE fraud in Ohio, another hotbed for Somalis

    They run fake “home health” and bill $250,000 PER YEAR, per FAMILY, when no work is actually being done

    She says it also happens in PENNSYLVANIA

    “Audit America. Audit Ohio now. And I’m pushing for that in every single state!”

    “The state will, as long as the doctor has approved it, continue to pay you. It could be for 10 hours, 12 hours, up to 24 when it’s critical care.”

    “So you could sit at home without caring for an elderly parent who really doesn’t need it, make about $75,000 to $90,000 a year. Now you add two parents, that’s $180,000. Now you add your in-laws $250,000.”

    “You continue to add this and you wonder what are the services being provided? So a lot of providers came and said fraud is occurring because we said we weren’t going to rubber stamp this paperwork.”

    “So they went to other providers, their home health care networks saying we’ll make it worth your while. Well, sounds like a kickback to me.”

    “So we really need to investigate the Medicaid system and how much it’s increased since the Somalian population came and who really needs critical care because that’s meant for our disabled, our elderly and people who really need it, not to just live off our system.”

    “And that’s what’s happening in Ohio. I think it’s ridiculous. I think it’s despicable, but authorities are now looking at it from the Attorney General’s office to the U.S. Attorney’s office.”

    “I flagged them all because this is Ohio tax dollars and we have to take it seriously. I’m tired of people telling me, well, this is the way it’s always been. It’s subjective and we can’t really check. No, you can.”

  2. But muh narrative….

    “ICE, the federal agency tasked with interior immigration enforcement and deportations, revealed that 70%, or about 416,000, have ‘criminal convictions or pending criminal charges just in the U.S.,’ an agency spokesperson said in a statement.” Quite a batting avg, per these stats:”

    #EXCLUSIVE — The large majority of illegal immigrant arrests by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement are criminals who have been convicted or those with pending charges for criminal offenses, according to new data provided to the Washington Examiner.

    “Another Somalia Immigrant scam uncovered by Nick Shirley in Minnesota

    Somalians are creating fake transportation companies. They pretend to take people to and from appointments, but not a single one ever has a passenger

    🚨 THERE ARE OVER 800 of these Somali owned in Minnesota

    “I started to see all these transportation companies going around and it was always a Somali driver — but they never had a passenger, never ever once.

    — So then I found out that in Minnesota, they have something called non-emergency medical transportation. So this is going to the dentist office, therapy, whatever it might be — and the research came back that there are 1,020 of them, and more than 800 of them are Somali-owned

    Nobody from the state of Minnesota ever cross-checks to see if any rides were ever actually provided.

    All they did was write the check.”

    “Every 4 years the President celebrates the fact that their term has slowed the damage from the last term….

    But somehow we’re still $38T in debt

    Somehow we still have 30-40M non citizens here

    Somehow our dollar is only worth 5% of its original value

    Somehow we’re still funding overseas wars

    Somehow we’re still the ones forced to pay taxes on our $600 Venmo transaction when trillions from government goes completely unaccounted for

    Somehow Palantir has still set up the infrastructure for the most advanced surveillance state the world has ever knownSomehow wages have NEVER caught up with inflation

    Somehow it’s still legal to butcher the genitals off of children

    Somehow NO deep state arrests have taken place

    Somehow the letter agencies are stronger than ever

    Celebrate? Celebrate what?!!? Millennials & gen Z still can’t afford houses

    Our schools are still teaching that men can be women, and women can be men

    You want me to believe in a better future? Start arresting and prosecuting the corrupt government officials who have laundered so much of our tax dollars, dismantle the IRS, make taxes completely voluntary, then let’s see how much support you REALLY have

    You steal and waste our money, and spend more of it to prosecute the working man than they ever could have paid off their salary.

    It’s never been about paying their fair share, it’s about keeping the masses in line.”

  6. Looks like the dems who run Washington state have a Somali fraud problem too, which said dems are also doing their best to hide.

    “There are 539 childcare centers in Washington state that list Somali as the primary language. Most don’t even give a street address.

    I don’t know how many of these are submitting fraudulent claims for state grants and subsidies, but I have a strong hunch the number is not zero.”

  8. “If you’ve been tracking Democrat talking points over the past few years, you’ll notice an outsized emphasis on “free child care” from every wing of the party at all levels of government.

    What they mean by “free” is taxpayer-funded subsidies sent to daycare centers.

    Like ActBlue, USAID, and Obamacare subsidies, most of these centers are just massive vehicle for fraud.”

  9. From yesterday —

    NJ — About 25 years ago, I placed my daughter in daycare. I had to phone ahead and make an appointment. Once I arrived, I had to buzz and identify myself before I was allowed in and of course I had my daughter with me. A random middle aged man isn’t going to be let in. And this was pre-internet; now even a public school asks prospective parents to pre-register online before confirming an appointment to see the school and then they have to buzz the office and sign in before anything happens and normally a child is with them. Random middle aged men are not granted access especially if they are banging on the window.

    Looking at what was posted today, I left wondering why the constant attack on fraud and Somalis. A post mentions Ohio as a Somali hotspot — there are very few Somalis in Ohio; less than 1% of the state is Muslim let alone Somali. Medicare fraud is very real in the US (its one of the problems in a mixed private-public system) but its corporate where the real problem lie.

  10. From yesterday

    Epstein — Its interesting the files were a right wing populists concern less than a year ago and now barely mentioned while the left has latched on to it. Personally I don’t think it makes a difference in Trump’s political fortunes but the files do have relevance.

    A political party which has made law and order its brand and claimed to protect vulnerable women and girls from transgender men has collective shrugged their shoulders at these files and what they have revealed. Similar to how the files have revealed the police to be on the side of the rich and powerful, the Republican party has clearly sided with the rich and powerful and revealed their true political agenda — side with the rich and powerful. I’m not sure if there’s a statute of limitations in these cases but shouldn’t people be advocating for justice for these girls as opposed to redacting the rich and powerful?

    And given the people involved — corporate and political elite (from all sides of the political aisle) — the US (and probably the UK among others) should investigate if there’s been any risk to the security and political interests of the country. Was there and is there still political blackmail — at the very least Israel, Russia and Saudi Arabia all seem to be connected to the files.

    As for Trump — when he wandered into teenage girls’ dressing rooms, groped women, and had an affair with Stormy Daniels, he was not a young scoundrel, he was in his late 50s and married to Melania. As I said above, I don’t think these latest revelations will change people’s minds but lets not fool ourselves, he’s a sexual predator.

  12. Oh and one more thing (props to Columbo!)

    At our schools there are front desks. At daycares in large there are the same. Intercoms are used locked doors and security. And I don’t believe age discrimination is appropriate in defending a daycare not allowing admittance … there are a lot of older parents and custodial grandparents out there!!

    Defend if you must the Somali invader fraudsters in OUR country… we will gladly send them to YOURS!!!

  13. NJ — Its not about defending any particular ethnic group (most Somalis are now 2nd or 3rd generation Americans by now anyway); its about the plausibility of the story. It’s extremely doubtful anyone would be given access to a daycare centre without an appointment and filing out an online form. Despite being discriminatory, a middle aged man appearing without a child demanding to be allowed in would be barred from the premise and treated with suspicion. Even if he appeared as a grandparent to a child in the center, his name would be in the online registration and the parent would have to email or phone that day. Simply put his behaviour was suspicious and the daycare acted accordingly. Their story is more plausible than his.

  14. Although the Epstein list is somewhat interesting — on the basis of diversity alone, its not the takeaway I get from the current controversy.

    First, its obvious that the police and FBI sided with the rich and powerful men instead of with the victims. Another indication that the current critique of the police as an instrument of the ruling class. The Republican behaviour is also similar — more concern has been expressed about the reputation of the men as opposed to the need for justice. The Republican party here has identified itself on the side of the rich and powerful contrary to the image they have tried to communicate in the last decade.

    Second, it’s quite possible that blackmail has been involved. Although some of this is straight financial — Epstein has new wealth management clients, there’s an indication that political blackmail is involved. It needs to be addressed whether there has been a compromise to the political system and national security.

    The oligarchs from authoritarian corrupt regimes have tried to corrupt the democracies through money and corporate ties. Its not beyond the realm of possibility that the Epstein files are involved here. Israeli, Saudi, and UK politicians and royalty were involved — were they compromised or did they compromise the Americans involved.

    Beyond the simple need to bring justice for the girls, these questions have to addressed.

    As for Trump, he’s in the group along with Clinton, Dershowitz and a host of others across the political spectrum. It doesn’t really matter unless my second concern is involved. As for Stormy Daniels — it happened and he paid her, that’s been established by the courts and he hasn’t appealed it.

  16. I wouldn’t blame all the Somali’s just as I wouldn’t blame all of any other group of people. I also would not refuse to let the clues go where they lead.

    I have a close relative who works in daycare. At her daycare in MN, you just ring a buzzer, and you can talk to an administrator. There’s plenty of evidence that it is a daycare. Every daycare I know of has some type of outdoor play area, for example.

  17. Attorney General Pam Bondi says investigators have uncovered widespread fraud in Minnesota, crediting investigative reporting for exposing its scale. The Justice Department has been probing the case for months, charging 98 people so far—most of Somali descent—with over 60 already convicted. More prosecutions are coming, and she warns lawmakers to “buckle up.”

    A single Minneapolis restaurant exposes the scale of Minnesota’s fraud scandal

    A Minneapolis restaurant with 35 seats claimed it was serving 18,000 meals a day to hungry children — and the federal government paid for every single one.

    This is just one piece of what’s now being described as a $9 BILLION Medicaid fraud operation, the largest in U.S. history.

  19. UST IN : Nick Shirley’s 42-minute video exposing the massive fraud in Minnesota has passed 30 MILLION views on X in just 24 hours. Factor in the clips being shared and reposted, the total reach is well over 100 million views — organically, no gatekeepers, no filters.

    And here’s the part that tells you everything you need to know: no mentions from The New York Times, The Washington Post, and CNN. When a story reaches nine figures in views and the legacy media pretends it doesn’t exist, that silence is not by accident, it’s the story.
