At least $9B billed across 14 Medicaid services in Minnesota may be fraudulent, top prosecutor says

Tim Walz and the Minnesota grifters!

SELLC · CERTIFIED POST WHORE

And yet another grifter in with walls is Omar -- who at the time has this going

AI Overview

Rep.

Ilhan Omar set up programs, including the MEALS Act (Modifying Essential Access to Lunch for Students Act) during the COVID-19 pandemic, which were intended to provide child nutrition but were later exploited in a massive fraud scheme.

Key details regarding the programs and associated issues:

MEALS Act: This legislation, championed by Rep. Omar, waived certain rules, regulations, and safeguards for the distribution of school meals to quickly provide aid during the pandemic.
Fraud Allegations: The lack of oversight created by the waivers allegedly enabled what is considered the largest pandemic relief fraud scheme in the United States, totaling at least $250 million (some reports indicate up to $1 billion).
Individuals Charged: At least 78 individuals have been charged in connection with the scheme, including a former campaign staffer and associates of a restaurant where Omar held a victory party.
Omar's Response: When questioned about the fraud, Omar stated that the programs were set up quickly and "a lot of the guardrails did not get created," leading to reliance on third parties.
Investigations: A sweeping federal investigation has been launched into the fraud, and the House Oversight Committee has opened its own investigation into the handling of the funds.

Beyond the MEALS Act, Omar has introduced or co-sponsored many other pieces of legislation related to housing, healthcare, immigration, and climate change, such as the Homes for All Act and the Medicare for All Act, though few have become law.

Key points regarding the situation:

The Fraud Scheme: Dozens of individuals in Minnesota, most of Somali descent, have been charged and many convicted for stealing federal funds meant to feed children during the COVID-19 pandemic. The primary non-profit at the center of the $250 million scheme was called "Feeding Our Future".
Ties to Omar:
- Individuals charged in the scheme made donations to Rep. Omar's campaign, which she says have since been returned.
- One convicted individual, Salim Said, worked on her 2018 and 2020 campaigns.
- Omar's office reportedly backed the program and its staff allegedly dismissed concerns as bureaucratic overreach. Omar has stated the fraud also impacts the Somali community, who are taxpayers and potential beneficiaries of the program.
Oversight Under Walz:
- The fraud grew significantly due to federal rule waivers during the pandemic and a lack of state oversight, with critics accusing the Walz administration of ignoring red flags.
- Whistleblowers claimed that staff who raised internal concerns were ignored or retaliated against by the state's Department of Human Services.
- Gov. Walz has denied intentionally turning a blind eye and stated that anyone who commits fraud will go to prison, regardless of background. He has also created a task force to pursue fraud cases and improve state processes.
Investigations: The U.S. House Oversight Committee has launched an investigation into the matter and Gov. Walz's administration's role in the oversight failures.

Did you vote for Walz? You can tell us, you don't have to be embarrassed -- we're all friends here.

Ummm... this has been going on for over two years!

At some point you're just going to have to wake up from that woke mentality, PowerStroker!

Initial estimates put the total over $2B (Billion) and if you divide by the 80,000 Somalis living there it equals a haul of about $25,000 each for every Man, Woman and Child!

PowerStroker · UNSTOPPABLE!

I believe there were white people involved too, and lots of Somali-American's who weren't. If you're trying to spin this as another one of your brown people conspiracies it just won't work.

White people like who? Tim Walz? America dodged a bullet by keeping that loon out of the White House!

And with regards to your race baiting comment -- nobody is listening to that BS anymore! Obama maxed out bankrupted the race card! I seen him in South Chicago at a predominantly black school singing and dancing... it would be nice if he could care enough to visit downtrodden white schools in the city too -- but he is the biggest racist of them all!

I keep trying to tell you it's not Kosher to marry your brother! Ask you Mom what she thinks about people marrying their own brothers or sisters! While you're at it, ask her thoughts on child sex change operations and genital mutilations.

I'm curious which one of your parents you got this mentality from.

PowerStroker · UNSTOPPABLE!

Where in that marriage license does it say that they are siblings?

Both of my parents are/were conservatives. In my mom's case it's religious based, and she has started using her Christianity to justify bigotry... Especially now that she is retired and has nothing to do but spend her day thinking about gays. Which is strange since there is no record of Jesus ever speaking on the issue. In my late father's case, it was economics, he didn't like paying taxes, though I've never once heard him say anything bigoted.

For me, I believe in the evidence based scientific reasons why siblings should not marry, and I believe Congresswoman Omar when she says she didn't marry a sibling.

One thing my mother and I both agree on is that female genital mutilation is horrific and rightly illegal in this country.

We also agree that child sex change operations shouldn't happen, and as far as I know, they aren't happening. There are pharmaceutical puberty blockers available for trans gender children, and such medical decisions are made by parents before the age of 18 unless a court intervenes.

There is no section on a marriage certificate that asks what your relationship with the other person is because everyone knows you don't marry family!

By evidence based scientific reasons I assume you're referring to how majority of Somalis who inbreed have heads that look alien?

It's nice to know your parents weren't libtards -- but it begs the question, were you switched at birth or something? lol

With regards to sex changes -- there should be absolutely no allowable reason to let a child (read that as under the age of 21) mess with their sexuality! They are just too young and have enough hormones running thru them!

With regards to your link from Yahoo -- it clearly states that over 90% of the scammers are Somalian!

SELLC · CERTIFIED POST WHORE

Oh wait! LOL, I stand corrected!

There is a section on that marriage certificate that clearly asks if either person is blood related to one another!

So technically she lied on her marriage certificate!

I'd avoid making claims that can't be proven, If Fox "News" and the president can both be sued for defamation, anybody can.

That's the thing about defamation and liable laws... if the truth makes someone look bad -- they can't sue! I'm under the impression Trump or one of his pals have found Omar's brother and tested him... I'm also willing to bet someone has lifted a soda can or something similar to obtain Omar's DNA... I highly doubt Trump would make such a claim unless he was damn sure! Because let's face it, if she does sue the burden of proof would be on her! She and her brother would have to submit to thorough testing to PROVE it!

PowerStroker · UNSTOPPABLE!

I doubt very much that any such testing has occurred, or that any judge would sign that warrant.

SELLC · CERTIFIED POST WHORE

Just ask Steele what people will pay for research.

I dont think a Judge would sign a warrant for said testing unless, say someone was suing for an large amount of money in a civil case unless of course it was a corrupt New York court but Minnesota isnt New York.

PowerStroker · UNSTOPPABLE!

Steele put his name on his research and isn't hard to find. With as lawsuit happy as Trump is for everybody else, it's amazing he hasn't sued Steele for defamation...

Unless Trump is terrified about being deposed under oath about the contents of the dossier, and doesn't want to risk a perjury conviction, which is the only explanation I can think of for why Trump isn't suing Steele and never will.

Trump not suing Steele is additional evidence that the dossier might be true. If the dossier is false, Trump should man up and sue Steele right now.

SELLC · CERTIFIED POST WHORE

By that rationale, Omar did marry her brother then?

That's basically what you're saying.

PowerStroker · UNSTOPPABLE!

She would be right in suing any of the original conservative podcasters that made the claim, yes. As well as any news organization that claims to have confirmed it to be true.

Unfortunately Fox has gotten smart enough not to typically confirm these things, they just report that they have heard about them and bring on pundits to discuss the possibility of their truth.

She may have a case against Trump too, but probably has to wait until he leaves office.

Power Stroker is right. There was evil white men involved. of the $9 billion stolen, 98% were Somalian but 2% were those evil "others", lets presume white as PS believes. Walz is white. Good job PS.

That is not exactly true PowerStroker... if you had your kidneys go out, and had to go on dialysis until such time a donor match turned up, the cost would exceed your private insurance and you'd be dumped on Medicaid due to contractual limits in your private insurance.

Furthermore, once you reach a certain age you'll be dumped off on Medicare.

It frustrates me, as someone who pays their EIDL loan religiously and on time -- to know you're going to vote for some guy who would allow $9 billion in fraud to occur on his watch.

If you divide $9 billon by the 80,000 Somalians living there that totals $112,500 for every man, woman and child! This is not money they will pay back -- it's just free money to ensure their people vote a certain way!

Why is this ok to you PowerStroker? Now Walz is already proposing new programs for Somalians to exploit! Just a tiny fraction of this money could pay off my companies loan for COVID relief!

Unlike the many businesses that don't even operate, I have to work -- pretty much every single day and in every single capacity to make ends meet! Meanwhile we have people like you who vote these crooks in office!

United just processes claims, our Union funds the policy. It's like how some car dealer groups fund extended warranties in their name, but the claims are actually administered by a warranty company for a processing fee.

I heard about their CEO getting shot. Minnesota is a great place, albeit far colder in the winter than I would like.

SELLC · CERTIFIED POST WHORE

Minnesota doesn't seem like a great place at all! We have cold winters here in Michigan too, but at least my state isn't a bunch of indoctrinated fools who vote Democrat religiously!

It does not bother you at all that Somalian immigrants have stolen billions of dollars in your state? It doesn't bother you that Tim Walz is a piece of trash who makes you all look like trash?

There are people in your state that made more than you have made in a lifetime working at your little Union shop -- simply by opening a fake day care center!

Why does that not seem to bother you PowerStroker?

With regards to United Healthcare, well... you got to live with them! Or die, depending on how they feel that day!

Yes the fraud bothers me, and I've said already that the people involved should be prosecuted, and I believe that's what's happening.

Walz is already ushering in the next big Somali kick-back vote buying scheme by introducing a 20 week paternity hand-out... You know them Somalians will be breeding like rabbits!

From what I understand so far, it won't even matter if you're working at the time of birth, you'll still get the hand out!

This will overwhelmingly sway in the Somalians favor considering all the white guys like PoweStroker have been brainwashed into self castration or having themselves clipped or pinched.

It's a good thing the Federal Government has cut off aid to Minnesota, this way the people there in Minnesota can have their taxes increased to pay for this insanity on their own!

PowerStroker claims he is bothered by this but I think them are just crocodile tears -- he has already said he voted for Walz and will do so again! Hard to imagine Walz not being in on the grift.

At the very least he looked the other way for a long time!

PowerStroker · UNSTOPPABLE!

That's the part that has you most worried isn't it, brown people breeding.

No, what worries me the most are people like yourself -- who don't breed at all and instead import a bunch of illegals and give them BILLIONS of dollars to take care of their children and have even more little anti-American anchor babies that hate America so that people of your idiotic mentality can survive in politics by buying votes to stay relevant -- true Americans be damned! That is what really worries me!

The Somalis who have self segregated and do not assimilate don't belong here! They need to all go back from where they came because it's clear they have no loyalty to this nation and are only here to bleed our country dry! Then we have some bigoted idiot like yourself who could care less about anyone but himself making racist remarks like the one above to distract from this fact. How many downtrodden Somali's you have living in your home PowerStroker? What sort of outreach are you doing in these Somali communities that require so much taxpayer money to help them see the errors in their ways of marrying and breeding with their sisters, brothers, aunts and uncles -- you know, like rabbits?

The only silver lining here is that your way of thinking will die off with you... the white trash.

Based on my experience here, I don't think we have to worry about white trash dying off anytime soon.

You can thank your lucky stars for that buddy!

You just keep that in mind when voting, or maybe you want a prayer rug and a Somalian step-child?
