Somali fraud scandal

I don't care.

Except that it came from him and it's not speculation from elsewhere.

That's how I look for evidence too, from the actual person telling an independent investigative reporter, not from a second or third party from X.

Here's an interesting piece on the political targeting of an entire community for the illegal acts of a few:

"From Refuge to Home: Somali Resettlement in Minnesota and the Human Cost of Political Targeting"

"“I’ve never been to Somalia,” she says. “But when politicians talk, suddenly I’m not American enough.”
 She describes constantly being asked to condemn things she has no connection to—foreign conflicts, crimes she didn’t commit, stereotypes she didn’t create.
 
“We are tired of proving we belong,” Layla says. “No one asks that of other Americans.”"

"The message from the community is consistent and simple:“We are not guests. We are Americans.”
And like every chapter of American history where a minority community was tested by suspicion and scapegoating, the outcome will say far more about the nation than about the people being targeted."

We also know how to identify an opinion vs facts from evidence, which some others here do as well. So there is hope.

This is true.

Then when people were posting there was 100s of millions in fraud already discovered. Or posting about the Minnesota fraud in general, you were giving false assurances it was less than 10 million.

When people knew that sources were reporting Walz was going to not run again, you tried to run interference until you couldn’t ignore the truth any longer.

The Minnesota corruption cost Walz from running again.  Sources are now reporting Walz will resign before his current term is up.

Here's a lesson to be learned. Don't believe dumb assed MAGA podcasters.

"Investigators last week visited all of the child care centers accused of fraud in the video, and all were operating as expected, state officials say.
 The state’s initial findings cast doubt on the claims of fraud articulated in the viral video. Still, investigations into alleged wrongdoing are ongoing."

"In his Monday statement announcing the end of his reelection campaign, Walz acknowledged the controversy over fraud contributed to his decision. But he defended his record and said Republicans “are playing politics with the future of our state.”
 “For the last several years, an organized group of criminals have sought to take advantage of our state’s generosity,” Walz said. “And even as we make progress in the fight against the fraudsters, we now see an organized group of political actors seeking to take advantage of the crisis.”"

Yes, indeed...a sad state of affairs.

Unless every child and employee were also verified on the spot, along with auditing records, anything from MN officials is not believable. As fast as you can get a flash mob you can get a seemingly working business.

It's disturbing that you don't even believe your own government has the ability to know the difference or investigate properly.  Wait...they could be that stupid.

So you're for discrimination.

Obviously.

Nice to have it recorded.
