Shocking absolutely nobody other than CNN, which deeply investigated Somali fraud in Minnesota by calling the fraudsters and asking whether they were guilty, the crooks who ran the Quality Learing Center in Minnesota were charged with stealing millions from taxpayers.

I am not joking about CNN’s deep reporting on the issue. They were very proud of their journalisming.
The CNN “reporter” on the phone in the hotel wasn’t even interested in the fraud — she was interested in investigating Nick Shirley and “his claims.”
She was hoping to discredit Shirley. It was utterly pathetic.
So, on brand for CNN.pic.twitter.com/VS86CuTnbY https://t.co/xjzWyZUODx

Brilliant! I wish I could pick up a phone like that.
By now, it shouldn’t surprise us that nobody in the establishment wants the fraud uncovered. The politicians profit off the fraud, the bureaucrats think rooting it out is too much work and are afraid that the politicians will punish them, and the media exists to act as Pravda for the Democrats.
And Democratic voters? They like things the way they are. A lot of them work for the NGOs that have created an industry around perpetrating fraud themselves, and need Democrats to keep the money flowing.
Look man I know you’re a republican grifter but the journalists did their job and asked them if they were committing crimes. They said no. How were they supposed to know they were lying? I’m tired of the right denigrating CNN because they don’t get it right 100% of the time.

After being shamed into prosecuting a few of the fraudsters at the state level, Attorney General Keith Ellison, who facilitated the fraud in the first place, is now giving out sweetheart deals to the perpetrators; almost no jail time, no requirement for actual restitution, and fines that leave them in possession of most of the ill-gotten money.
That’s why federal prosecutions are the only way.
The defendants convicted of Medicaid fraud in Minnesota are not paying back the restitution they were ordered to pay

– Fraudsters have paid back less than $2.5 million (Less than 18%)
Fraudsters are already getting out of prison and skipping all payments
Here’s just one example
Ali Ismail Warsame was convicted of Medicaid fraud in 2022 and ordered to pay back $667,719 in restitution
The judge ordered him to make monthly payments of $300 once he was released from custody
Ali Ismail Warsame got out of prison in May of ’24, but still has not made a single payment
The crazy thing is these foreign criminals are getting granted early probation and getting let out of the prison
They steal our money, get released early, then pay nothing back
Mass deport them all. Why are they even still here

This isn’t incompetence. It’s not indifference. The State of Minnesota, as with many states, is part of an organized crime ring stealing tens of billions or more from taxpayers every year.

How interested in the Pravda Media? Our local TV stations are finally picking it up, seeing ratings gold, although they have yet to point the finger at the governor and the Attorney General as part of the scam.
🚨 NOW: ANOTHER fraud scandal is erupting in Tim Walz’s Minnesota, with a nonprofit being accused of $6.5 MILLION in fraud, using the funds for luxury cars and lavish trips
Imagine how many more BILLIONS they haven’t even begun to prosecute
Tim Walz and AG Ellison must resign! pic.twitter.com/KUNFlAfEt8

But our local newspaper, the Star Tribune, is nearly silent. If you only read them for your news, you would have zero idea that anything is wrong aside from a bad apple or two. Their coverage isn’t pathetic; it is practically nonexistent. After all, the publisher worked for Tim Walz as a Commissioner before taking the job at the Star Tribune.
Minnesota may appear to be the epicenter of the fraud scandals, but that is hardly true. Someday soon, it will come out that these scams are as common as fleas on a stray dog.
But don’t worry. CNN has more phone calls from its “journalists” to track down the fraudsters.
