Democrats Turn Minneapolis into Fort Sumter
Just as it did one hundred and sixty-five years ago, the Democrat Party appears to be making war against the federal government.

Just as it did one hundred and sixty-five years ago, the Democrat Party appears to be making war against the federal government.
Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Mehmet Oz have identified tens of billions of dollars in welfare fraud flowing through the Democrat-controlled state of Minnesota. President Trump has suggested that the level of Minnesota fraud may top a hundred billion dollars as investigations proceed.
The public is slowly learning that members of the state’s substantial population of Somali immigrants have been abusing state and federal programs to enrich themselves at the expense of American taxpayers. Fraudulent childcare centers were created to siphon federal tax dollars. Fraudulent healthcare clinics were designed to do the same. There are many signs that suggest Minneapolis is home to both a massive money laundering operation and a massive vote fraud scheme.
Because the amount of financial fraud is so high, it is difficult to believe that Somali immigrants orchestrated this massive theft on their own. Minnesota and Minneapolis have government agencies whose sole function is to seek, police, and prevent exactly these kinds of taxpayer thefts. The idea that immigrants from across the world could arrive in Minnesota and figure out how to manipulate the existing bureaucracy to orchestrate large-scale fraud is unconvincing. It seems much more likely that government bureaucrats, elected officials, law enforcement personnel, and perhaps even judges facilitated such complex institutional fraud. If that is the case, then we are not looking at a massive welfare fraud scandal. We are looking at a government-orchestrated criminal syndicate.
