DOJ sues states over illegal-alien tuition bias; Hoover Building shuttered as FBI moves to Reagan—architecture as policy; arrests surge post-Biden; WSJ misses genius behind DOJ’s DEI fraud squeeze.
Thank you so much for your insights. I have learned so much reading your submissions. I would recommend Hillsdale's free online Constitutuion 101 Course for anyone interested in better understanding our Constitution and the origins and machinations of the administrative state.
And I would further recommend that anyone interested in familiarizing themselves with the deepest, most compelling examination of the most criminal takeover by any deep state in history (the truest, most accurate account of the metastasizing of Russia into the Soviet Union) to read Alexandre Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago which won the Nobel Prize in literature in 1973.
So painful to read I had to take occasional breaks and read something else, something lighter. But I felt like I had an obligation to humanity to finish it, and I did. It is burned into my consciousness.
I just mentioned in another comment that I wasn't as enthralled by his historical books. The first Circle and Cancer Ward are my other favorites.
I would venture to say that in many ways Jeff Childers work is on a par with Solzhenitsyn's and perhaps one day Jeff will publish a book condensing this newsletter
I also read One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, in high school, and The First Circle. After that I read Khrushchev's memoirs. What got me started on him was a great book called Who Killed Kirov? by Amy Knight. She argues that Stalin arranged his murder as an excuse to start the Purge. Fantastic murder mystery, who woulda thunk it? It made me wonder how Khrushchev survived all of that and rose to the top.
One of my favorite books ever was one I was assigned to read for a class on the Soviet Union in the 1920s and 30s. It is called Journey Into the Whirlwind by Eugenia Ginzburg. It’s a fascinating account of how she, as an intellectual and fervent supporter of the revolution and Leninism, became caught up in the Stalinist purges and ended up getting arrested and sent to Siberia.
I should have mentioned that when a gifted author has firsthand LIVED the experiences depicted, its Truth pierces deep into our Soul ... The point about Gulag is how searingly it reminds of of what is occuring here and now: Change the characters, place, and year, and the story is us.
Jeffrey and Lydia. I was fortunate to get to make a missions trip to Russia, Mosco and Perm, in 2002, as a dentist with 4 other dentists and 15 associated team members. We took the Trans Siberian Railway from Mosco to Perm, a 12 hour, overnight journey through 6 or 7 time zones. That trip was an amazing cultural experience in itself. We set up a mobile dental clinic in the largest and fastest growing Evangelical church in Russia. We took our mobile clinic north for 2 days to a Russian prison and worked on staff and inmates. Rather intimidating. I was so impacted by the trip, when I returned I started studying the Russian language and reading many books on Russian history. It was a very enlightening period in my life. Challenging but very rewarding.
What an excellent approach, John...to immerse yourself in another culture in an effort to 'reach' them for the Gospel...in a practical way. Dentistry is an often maligned field of medicine - but so important to our overall good health.
These should ALL be required reading for high schoolers:
-Gulag Archipelago by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
-Warning to the West by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
-Cuba: An American History by Ada Ferrer
-The Politically Incorrect Guide to Socialism by Kevin Williamson: Covers the grim history of socialist failures, famines, and wars, linking fascism as a socialist variant.
-Socialism Is Evil: The Moral Case Against Marx's Radical Dream: Focuses on the moral arguments against Marxism.
Unfortunately, with teachers' unions and corrupted progressive school board in command in so many school districts--the VOICES OF FREEDOM are smothered and forgotten by our young people. That's why colleges like HILLSDALE are "beacons of light" to our 'educated' youth!
In a documentary on Solzhenitsyn they interviewed a (then young) author. She had just written the book Purge. It is a riveting book expressing truth through fiction. It goes through an old woman's experience in Estonia of pre-Soviet occupation to post occupation with the ensuing exploitation of women. Reading the book, reports that in former Soviet countries women are being held hostage becoming human surrogates is no surprise.
They have a KGB museum in the Lubyanka (middle of Moscow) where you can see Powers' gear and the pick axe used to murder Trotsky. Such and many other mementos of the Soviet days... Lubyanka was originally an insurance company building, believe it or not!
(Powers was the U2 pilot shot down spying over the Soviet Union that Eisenhower at first claimed didn't happen)
And for those who want to investigate his other books, some of which are much more accessible, I would highly recommend The first Circle, and Cancer Ward. Another favorite is his speech to Harvard University in the mid 1970s called A Warning to the West. After he delivered that speech he basically became canceled by American media.
I read this as a teenager - and the amount of torture and deprivation that he knew in the Soviet gulags is beyond comprehension--and he LIVED to see his journaling distributed AROUND THE WORLD. What a miracle that is!
We imagine that the Russians under communism suffered more than we do. The gulag in our place and time is the industrial medical complex which exterminates ruthlessly without most of its victims even knowing that it's happening
I am an ardent supporter of Hillsdale - I speak of their freedom-honoring programs to every young person that I know and meet when 'out and about'. One of their frequent contributors in their newsletter, VICTOR DAVIS HANSON, is undergoing serious surgery right now - he announced it on his podcast recently. Pray for a God miracle for this courageous, conservative clarion crier who has written and spoken prolifically over his lifetime against the suffocating policies of the powerful 'progressive' voices in our culture.
Thanks Sharon, he has my prayers. At Hillsdale I sponsor a memorial fund for my late husband, a patriot and conservative. My only ask is that the student pursues a degree in political science. What better place? :)
Since you brought up Hillsdale College I wanted to let Mr. Childers know that Hillsdale actually signed a contract with the federal government not too long ago to produce a massive library of videos and other free content that is going to be released as part of the July 4 celebrations next year.
To hear Larry Arn (the president of Hillsdale College) say it, the contract was for zero dollars and gave both parties the free right to distribute all of the content created. I believe it’s the only contract Hillsdale college has ever signed with the federal government.
Yet another one of the unique accomplishments of the Trump administration….
Good morning C&C! Traveling back home from the land of somali fraud to my home in the west. I request prayers for safe travels. May Our Lord bless you all.
Unbelievable. He was on Rumble last night with Donald Trump Jr for an excellent interview. He said he will be coming out with even more information about all this.
I would love to know how much each one of us have given to foreigners for free in state tuition, room and board, food stamps, health care and everything else you can think of. Imagine the refund check amounts we would get if it was all tallied up and paid back to us. I am so sick of these foreigners getting everything for nothing and making fools of US citizens. Makes me not want to pay my federal taxes this year. No tax money, foreigners receive squat.
I lived in the burbs of St. Paul, MN while working on a transit rail project in downtown St. Paul for 1.5 years. Being a Texan, I was astonished at all the social programs. It seemed like every other building was some kind of welfare "business." I loved pheasant, duck, and goose hunting and the fishing, but I was glad to see Manysnowtah in my rear view mirror.
I'm totally surprised that Youtube hasn't banned it yet. At the very least indirectly labeled it as misinformation with a link to the "truth" on Wikipedia.
and on Fox news(Jesse W) last night, Charlie Hurt in place, they had a video of a black lady from Columbus, Ohio announcing that the EXACT same thing is happening there!
Imagine the extensive corruption, likely in any spot in the US where they have accumulated.
Grew up in small town Minnesota. It was a Tom Sawyer life hunting, fishing, swimming, baseball. Sledding and skating in the winter. My schools were good and life was pretty good even though we were poor by todays standards. Everyone was poorer then so it didn't matter. Still have a cabin up there but my summer time up there will be coming to an end soon. Minneapolis has changed and the state changed with it. So sad.
I have cousins who live in the southern part of the state, near the Wisconsin border. It is farming country and they are all quite conservative. The northern part of the state, away from the Duluth area enclave of Democrats is also quite conservative. Just like Michigan with Detroit, Illinois with Chicago, Wisconsin with Milwaukee, the Left has infiltrated Minneapolis, turning large cities blue, and further ruining, people looking the other way, into sanctuaries for illegal immigrants, mostly from Muslim countries. These states were once home to some of the most burgeoning industries. People got along, no matter their political persuasion, and the cities were just places of industry. Industry left and the cities rotted from welfare and the nanny state.
Jesus presented another parable to them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went away. But when the wheat sprouted and bore grain, then the tares became evident also. The slaves of the landowner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ And he said to them, ‘An enemy has done this!’ The slaves said to him, ‘Do you want us, then, to go and gather them up?’ But he said, ‘No; for while you are gathering up the tares, you may uproot the wheat with them. Allow both to grow together until the harvest; and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather up the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them up; but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”
HE paid the death penalty for sin but there are still consequences. We still have to humble ourselves, acknowledge our sins asking forgiveness and repent
It burns me up that we are focused on small fish when the real grifters continue to fleece us for 100s of billions every year - the "defense" industry and the Federal Reserve.
That is all fine and dandy but that does not help the average American with their needs or their families needs. These foreigners have to be exported and quickly.
"It burns me we are focused on small fish" certainly implies that the small fish aren't worth it, or you wouldn't be burned. But have it your way. Go ahead and mansplain to your little hear's content. And wring your hands. There, there.
1,000% agree! Completely agree. You’re spot on. The federal reserve and central banking as a whole is built on physical enslavement us, so we have to give our time and attention just to live.
Agreed, until there is some limit on debt spending and money printing nothing will change with the corrupt uniparty federal government. It is corruption by design. They focus on this fraud over here and another will pop up over there. At $38 trillion in unaccounted for debt and rising rapidly it is the fraud of our federal government that needs to be stopped for things to change. Do you think the government has the ability to fix itself? I’m not holding my breath.
The desire and ability of any branch of the US federal government to reform itself would appear nil. Neither political party, no bureaucrat, no federal judge has the humility or nobility of purpose to the power, prestige and wealth that attends their position. The miracle of the founders of the nation is that they did so.
Lifetime appointment of federal judges and Supreme Court Justices.
40 + careers of congressmen and senators.
The continued meddling of former presidents ( e.g. Clinton and Obama in particular) in the executive branch.
The revolving door of federal regulator/ employee/ NGO contractor/ lobbyist complex.
All much too rewarding to the participants of all stripes.
Expect no conservative revolution in the streets. Street violence and anarchy are the skills of Marxists and ANTIFA adherents. I can sympathize with the attraction of these groups to younger generations who are well aware that the $38 trillion national debt is there future sold to fund the current kleptocracy.
I suspect there will be an authoritarian regime in the US within 25 years. Either leftest/ Marxist through agitation and rebellion or right wing as a reaction to leftest revolutionary violence.
What seems very clear is that the present tax/ borrow/ spend to preserve the present state of dysfunction cannot be sustained , even with violent repression.
In response to a post I read above, I saw a post (that I believe may have been on X) wherein it was noted by someone who took the time to figure it out, that of the $6 billion (known amount of fraud at that time) exposed, it equated to approximately $1,580 per American citizen getting "hosed." And now we find that the fraud numbers are even higher. When is Walz going to be indicted?
How are the boot bottoms tasting these days Willing? It doesn't matter what happens, Trump could literally burn the flag in the middle of the street and piss on it and you would call it 4d chess.
Well whose fault is it then? Is it someone else continuing to spend like a drunken sailor and engage in wars across the globe? Who should I point the finger at?
You really “strain out the gnats while swallowing the camel”
You ignore that demonicRATS have been in charge for decades. Your willing blindness has affected your spirit and soul……it will, at the end, affect your body.
Considering the interest on our debt alone is over $1T, yes, 9 billion is small fish. If we want to solve our problems we have to quit this tiny tinkering around the edges and pretending it is a solution.
This is the one my son went through… He is a CNC machinist and is doing very well. Makes good money. Two years to get his associates while working three days a week and going to school for two days a week. His co-op paid for his schooling.
Exactly Dr. Linda. If that don't piss me off. I had to pay a lot of money to attain my professional degree and had to pay out of state fees. I am sick and tired of this and they need to shut down all funding and let these foreigners leave when their meal tickets stop.
Dr Linda—I agree. Out-of-state tuition rates are feeding the beast that is higher ed. The resulting student loan debt is criminal. When illegals get to go for free, the crime is compounded as the schools have to make up the shortfall by charging the oaying students more. 😖
Yes… I’m paying right now for 1 kid now, next year I’ll be paying for two. Even in state tuition is not affordable for some. I thanked my parents for paying for my college education and they laughed and said well it was affordable back then. We’re not sure how you’re doing it now!
It's almost like SOMEONE SHOWED THEM HOW TO COMMIT FRAUD shortly after they arrived. I would be looking at the advocacy groups and re-settlement groups.
They do only have one commerce in their country! Theft/ piracy but we expect different behavior here 🙄 the problem when we hand out free crap and don’t have any expectation of assimilation. Americans are the fools here. We need to be less tolerant
What fools we are really stings. Like we’ve put out the message; ‘come rape and pillage us.’ Our women are loose fools and the men are gutless wonders.
It's that the Somalis are in large part a willing and eager Democrat Party operative community, weaponized and organized to perpetrate the fraud. Which to Dem-Prog-Socialists isn't fraud at all, rather an opportunity to exploit the Enemy; Western Society with its Capitalism, Christianish culture, and democracy
I just included a gato quote on another comment a minute ago. His articles about how a society founded on the Golden Rule is incompatible with cultures that have the opposite worldview or religion (specifically Islam) are spot-on.
And how the defense for the daycares was “well Somalis have a LOT of kids, they need them”. Funny how none of that lot of kids are there. And while their lot of kids is excessive it’s not for American enrichment but to takeover in the future.
Saw a couple notes indicating that the parents would show up at some of these places, check-in, leave with the kids, then go somewhere _else_ to check-in, leave with kids, repeat. The centers had "attendance" and the parents ... got a cut of that govt assistance.
Well their IQ was evident from listing Tim Walz’ phone number as one facility’s contact number. 🤣 🤣 And thinking all they had to do was set up offices in windowless buildings and have no kids or services. They didn’t even try to be convincing. The Democrat representatives were shielding them so they didn’t think they had to. Maybe if federal funds weren’t involved it would have worked long term …
Well, they set up the offices and were approved by the govt, survived whatever "inspections" were necessary, and kept going. I think Nick had a note indicating that one business was closed by the state - and opened up the very next day with an "LLC" tacked on to the name with the same people and everything. :(
In Minnesota there are 6 designated international airports - DLH, RST, BDE, WWD, INL and MSP. Five flights a day from each would see the problem dealt with in just over a week.
While I appreciate the sentiment -- of the airports you cite only two, Duluth and Minneapolis/St Paul, are capable of handling transatlantic flights. International Falls and Baudette are only 'international airports' because they have Customs agents on site due to the fact they are physically located on the Canadian border. Rochester's longest runway is 9000 feet, which is a little too short for an Airbus 32x or Boeing 73 or 75. And I dunno where you got KWWD from -- that is the old Wildwood military field in Cape May NJ.
(1) I'm a she, not a he. (2) I'm not only a pilot, I am an FAA certificated ground instructor -- I literally *cannot stop myself* from correcting people about their most insignificant and meaningless errors if they have anything to do with aviation.
Yes, Dearborn’s imported residents need to be investigated too. The illegal aliens there know how to work the system to their advantage. Saw an SUV parked next door filled to the roof with cases of cigarettes (likely brought in from another state?) to be sold in their party stores. Pretty sure there was a crime there.
Current flights are selling at $1370 from Minneapolis to Mogadishu. Assuming no discount could be negotiated for bulk, and charter rates are the same as retail price, this gives 108,000 at $1370 a total cost (for Minnesota alone) of under $150m. Just sayin'
I think the passenger carrying capacity is a lot less. And if you believe that Government does things cheaper than the private sector, I have a few acres of Florida swampland (waterfront, natch) I’m sure you’d be interested in buying.
Not when they are smashed in there like sardines. The pictures we saw show a hell of a lot more were in those planes than a typical airplane could carry.
Illegals have been raking in the cash since they arrived….they either pay or get shipped to GITMO at the cheapest cost of transportation available. And if they can’t get “home” from GITMO that’s their problem.
@Susan- apparently their IQs are very high since they've bilked the American government for billions. It's how life is lived in Somalia. That's where they learned it.
"It's how life is lived in Somalia."... Exactly. It's not IQ. It's morality and their morality is informed by a war-torn culture, sans any Biblical morality, where violence is the modus operandi for getting ahead and protecting your tribe.
Violence is the basis of their culture right down to the family unit which is enforced through the violence of genital mutilation of girls. Yet we tolerate their "cultural preferences" instead of enforcing laws against the physical mutilation of children. Why? Because we now practice the same here in America where children who are not old enough to make such decisions are medically mutilated, both chemically and physically, in the name of "gender care"!
Can we still be called a "Christian culture"? Before you answer, consider that "abortion", the medical murder of babies IN THE WOMB of mothers, had been legal in America for 50 years which has resulted in the murder of roughly 70 MILLION babies since we enshrined this murder in law in 1973. And we wonder why medical doctors lost their moral compass during the "Covid" Plandemic!
They came for the defenseless first - the babies - and then they came for us.
Unlike the cultural development of the 19th century when everyone coming here wanted to be an "American", I'm afraid that like in the US is going to become increasingly "tribal" with the goal of making "white Christian" very much a minority.
@Phil- that is their intention. But we can include those in the early 20th C too, like my father and my mother's mother. Shoot, even my BIL and his family escaped Cuba in 1963 and immediately became productive American citizens.
Bet you I could figure out a much cheaper way than flight to get them gone. It would involve cargo ships. I’m betting if you pack the bastards in tight, you could squeeze 10k on each ship. Beats the catapults.
It’s an interesting thought - converted liners could take some thousands. But it adds a lot of logistical links in the chain. Conversion costs. Transport to the relevant port. A very long distance by sea. Logistics at the other end. Also, some rather uncomfortable historic allusions to when ships came to the US bearing a human cargo, albeit not from East Africa.
If the numbers that are now emerging are anything like correct, the RoI on a remigration like this is off the chart. Keep your miles - I’m sure you’ve paid enough tax.
I wasn’t making anything other than a logistical analysis. So I’m not commenting on 'parachutes' or religion. To get these sorts of things done, it is best to do them quickly, efficiently and humanely. If the USA wishes to regain moral ascendancy as well as societal and economic harmony, that is.
There’s probably more of a logistical issue at the other end - Somalia apparently has four international airports, so the Government there, if there is one, may require some assistance in processing 8 flights per diem. Even so.
Or, if by ship, a cute little pool noodle. Get however close you can to shore without running aground. Give ‘em a noodle and let them make their way back to their own tribe.
Not our problem. It’s their problem. They’re illegals who came illegally into our country. As far as I’m concerned they can be dropped into the nearest ocean.
Interesting.... Minnesota and Ohio have the bulk of the Somalis. Florida doesn't even register on the chart.
Identifying, locating and physically deporting over 200,000 people, assuming that is not understated, is a social and logistical nightmare. But that's just the tip of the pyramid. There are estimated to be 50+ million legal aliens and 55+ illegal aliens in this country... almost a third of the country! I have serious doubts the USG will try to deport even the illegals. It's a logistical nightmare. Perhaps the USG will deploy the military to try to accomplish this? That's a big question.
Hubby and I were watching an old Concentration rerun from the early 80’s. One of the contestants, when asked his occupation, replied that he was a “consultant for the high speed rail project currently being built in California.” Before it was newscums, it was Feinstein, Pelosi’s, Brown’s etc rail project to nowhere. Money laundering at its finest.
On the bureaucratic end, the best they've done thus far is find a corrupt Wisconsin judge guilty of federal obstruction, but even that is a ruse. Last I checked she's at home enjoying full pay and working up an appeal. (Fact check me, please). Apparently, there's not enough evidence against any of the heavy hitting administrative scum to go after. (Merrick Garland, et al.....Bueller?) I wonder why Bogino is retiring after a year? No retribution in sight for the Overlords of the Establishment. The whole system is a joke. There's a government you see and a government you don't see who answer to no one. Everyone's on a leash of varying lengths. There's a different set of rules for the top tier....if rules exist at all.
Bongino goes where he is needed. He helped to set up the infrastructure necessary to support a return to a lawful sustainable FBI, and now he returns to his most important role of information dissemination and as a captain for truth. It is the warriors like Nick Shirley out in the battlefield who need his support. We are at a juncture where Bongino’s national voice and influence is critical to taking down the various internal criminal factions. The longtime attack by globalists against the American way of life will be won through trench warfare.
No way they're going to let him reveal everything he's seen. I’m certain he’ll be hamstringed by being forced to sign an NDA. Personally, I don't buy that he was only going to stick around to set up shop. There wasn't anyone else on the planet to handle that? I do agree that he will be more useful back on radio and other media. In retrospect he never should have left.
Bongino may have saved Trump from another assassination attempt. The Secret Service was in shambles long before Butler. Bongino is more than an influential media personality, but professionally capable due to his work with the Secret Service, and his background as a former police officer in NYC.
I'm fully aware of his credentials. To say that he may have saved Trump from an assassination attempt is purely speculation. Surely there were other worthy candidates who could have fulfilled his role equally as well? I think Dan, like first term Trump, got a serious dose of reality....but, then I too speculate. I appreciate your comments. 😁
He worked for Bush and Obama, traveling the world protecting our presidents. He knows American and international law, are you suggesting he needed a JD degree to be Deputy Director? You’ve got to be imagining then. Sheesh you aren’t getting the fact that we had Biden’s educated idiots that almost caused Trump to be killed in Butler, PA. Bongino saw it coming.
Eric, this is my worry as well. Any chance Trump shares this concern and part of his long game is to go after that "government you don't see"?
Maybe going after them takes more than 11 months? A Trump style move would be that the early prosecutions are more for the people in the government you don't see rather than for us, namely, some prosecutions that tell them "hey I'm trying to look serious for the People", thereby assuring the Deep Staters that he's no real threat to them. Then the real prosecutions begin. We can hope!
The Trumpster has a plan. He always has a plan. The fraud issue is probably one of many that will be unleashed before the midterms. Jeff said the same thing. He's got the Dems on the wrong side of the fraud issue and it's hitting peoples pockets. I'm waiting for his debt reduction plan. He thinks big so it's going to be a doozy.
Our Colorado former Rep. Chair Dick Wadhams spouting off all over media yet again today how Trump sucks, misguided, Unaffiliated voters are victimized by conspiracy-kook Republicans, everything is Trump's fault, Colorado is only fully run by Dems due to hateful rightwinger Republicans who make everyone vote Democrat.
Thank you Jeff for sharing your knowledge, wit, and expertise, over the past year, Many including I look forward to reading your column each day. May God Bless you, your family, and loved ones with peace, hope, health, and joy, in the New Year.
Will the many millions of military age men who came in illegally, and will soon be cut off from their SNAP, housing, healthcare and so many other freebies...
Go away quietly?
Or are a large number of them still serving the countries of our adversaries... and ready to begin kinetic sabotage and terror operations when ordered?
Can we handle hundreds of simultaneous infrastructure attacks, especially on our water supplies and power grids?
To add some fuel to the Minnesota Somali fraud dumpster fire, here are some guys mocking us all about it (“it’s just a joke” 🙄 Oh sure… 🙄 It’s absolutely hilarious when taxpayers are bilked out of billions of dollars meant to help struggling American citizens, in order to pay for luxury homes and cars expensive jewelry, and give money to foreign warlords 🙄😑).
I'm glad the current admin is happy to keep funneling money to the warlords in Ukraine. How about it all stops and we keep our money here (that is borrowed and we don't actually have)
Suffering children? Really? They come here or are anchor-baby born here, receive free WIC, SNAP, CHIP (medical coverage), subsidized housing, free education, etc. The "funds" were absurd frosting on the cake of full welfare benefits in order to ensure their parasite parents would vote for Democrats. Why are they suffering? There is no video to be made.
Believe it or not, there are children born to families who have been in Minnesota for generations who could use more resources. It's those children who are the theft victims here. I'm not a big fan of the expansive welfare state under any circumstances, but if we're going to have one it should be understood as a safety net for the bottom tier of Americans who have fallen on hard times, not a piggy bank for every Third World grifter who manages to talk some Lutheran NGO into forking over a plane ticket.
Perhaps I misunderstood. The immigrant children and their parents are exactly who those daycare programs were established to benefit. But Minnesota is a welfare state that rivals the Scandinavian countries. Its poverty rate is lower than the national average, and the state has an immense safety net. That is why so many Somalians were sent there in the first place, so I wonder how many non-Somalian children are actually suffering. It is interesting that Minnesota counts African-Americans and Somalians as one subgroup, when obviously their situations are very different. The native black people in Minnesota, especially Minneapolis, seem to have been shuttled aside.
Those fake daycare programs were designed to defraud the taxpayers and enrich the fraudsters. These centers were never intended to actually have children there. Daycare programs helped out by federal government funding are are least ostensibly there to help low income working people make ends meet. This includes non immigrant people. But I agree with you that the Somalis were attracted to the state because of the generous benefits and programs, they’ve said as much. However, that doesn’t negate the fact that the money for these programs (whether daycare, autism-related or lunch programs) was intended to be used to give additional help and resources to those who truly need it. My interpretation of the comment you responded to is that the person was referring to those kids who never got the help they needed because of the fraud. I hope this clarifies what I was trying to say in my other comment. And all of your points are well taken, I don’t disagree with you that the Somalians intended to use and abuse the programs for themselves.
Shouldn't the people who want the government to help *insert group of people* be the angriest at fraud perpetrated against the American taxpayer, since the $ they entrusted the government to spend on fixing problems is not, in fact, going to fixing those problems?
I don’t think they can, because then they’d have to look at every single program, and they’re all rife with fraud. I read ‘Sanfransicko’ by Michael shellenberger a few years ago and it really opened my eyes to the corrupt process of these groups.
Yes! I had the same thought about the children's services fraud stories: none of those stories talk about the children who left without any of the help we paid for. Or, if the story mentioned it, it was one throw-away line in the story.
Over at Samizdata.net, a commenter suggested we set up charity funds to pay for all the welfare. If someone thinks more should be spent, they can contribute more. When the contributed funds are spent, no more benefits can be paid. But shut down all government funded welfare!
The free market always outperforms government action, including charitable endeavors. I know a few nonprofits that actually helped the people they claimed to help, did it mostly with volunteers, only paid their staff reasonable salaries, and chased down their own funding sources by writing grant proposals or appealing to the sources by showing the work they were actually doing in the communities they were helping, and proposing what they would do with more funding.
I served on the board of a non-profit here in Portland OR, ( I know…), Komak. Our mission and purpose is to support people who have just received a cancer diagnosis and don’t have the financial ability to take off the 2 months of time needed for treatment as they’re half or more of the family income. We help with establishing a budget and pay the rent and utilities directly for the first month while family and other sources of help get into place. On average it costs about $2000 per client to halt a family’s fall off the ladder of stability. We help over 100 clients a year in a five county area around us. We raise funds through grants and fundraising/donations. We have two events a year. We are happy to report that grants pay our modest running costs, meaning all donations go to clients. Other than the bookkeeper, it is all unpaid volunteers. Lean and effective. It can be done. ✨🙏
Exactly. We’re even “ecumenical”, Catholic, Protestant, and B’hai Brith. 😊
Komak is a Persian word for care. Begun to carry out the wishes of a man who had resources during his cancer diagnosis, who saw others struggling with basic needs during those first shocking weeks of cancer treatment. He asked his friends to help and Komak Persian dinner parties were born. His legacy of caring has carried on for nearly 20 years. May he rest in peace✨🙏
I live in a town around 4,000 population, in the poorest county in a wealthy blue state. When all the fuss erupted during the government shutdown about SNAP running out, the churches here coordinated a community food bank surge that was on top of their regular services, such that we could have fed everyone in the county for six months. Of course it came to nothing; first the state said they would cover SNAP for the duration out of surplus funds (which somehow are never 'surplus' when the issue of tax cuts comes up) and then the shutdown ended before anyone had time to even think about being hungry.
Unless the grant proposals are written to retain funds from a foundation. The foundations themselves might be miles away ideologically from the original founders’ intentions and values, but sometimes to money actually does go to worthy causes.
The Panera’s near me had a very short experiment several years ago. They put up a sign that you could pay whatever you wanted for their food. Those who were able should pay extra to help those who couldn’t afford the full price.
Who ever told you our tax dollars were meant to “fix problems?” Geez! Being taxed the way we are IS the problem! Search your memory, my dear. Boston harbor comes to mind, right?
Forgive me, but I copy/pasted this. I thought it was quite interesting when talking about all of the Somali fraud.
“RE: Fraud in Minnesota
I’m not sure that most Americans understand that in large swathes of humanity, there is no actual concept of ‘fraud,’ particularly fraud against the government. Instead, there is a belief in the virtue of getting away with what you can to help yourself and your tribe.
I spent a lot of my life in the Middle East and Central Asia, working closely with foreign contractors and foreign governments to provide support to American military operations. As a US Army officer with a big checkbook courtesy of Uncle Sam, I can’t really count the sheer number of times I was offered bribes to award a contract, or falsify records to do things like create larger (fake) headcounts at places like dining facilities, or to just simply be on the take for future illegal requests.
Of course I had enough sense to never comply with such requests. Moreover, they were never explicitly structured as ‘bribes’; instead it was usually along the lines of ‘Here I have these Rolexes as gifts for you and your wife to show our friendship.’ (Unfortunately, too many US officers and NCOs succumbed to this siren song and ended up breaking rocks in Leavenworth.)
The weird thing about this to me was that whenever I turned down such an offering, it was treated as a grave insult. I was the one in the wrong, and not the fraudster trying to bribe me. They considered it rude that I was in their country and refused to accept how things got done. After all, why did I not want to help my tribe by helping their tribe?
Let me repeat: in these cultures, FRAUD IS NOT EVEN A CONCEPT. There is only what helps your tribe.
Such thought processes are so alien to Americans and much of the West. We are raised on the presumption that our institutions are valid, that the rule of law always prevails, and that integrity is universal. We need these presumptions to have working governments and economies, and without those presumptions—without the mental barrier that causes us not to accept outright fraud—our nation would quickly descend into the economic and social hellscape of countries like…. ummm… you know…. SOMALIA!
So when we import people en masse from cultures that accept bribery and fraud as routine, acceptable ways to advance one’s tribe, we should not be surprised that things like the $8 BILLION fraud schemes of the Somali population in Minnesota happen so easily.
Introducing a fraud-based culture based on tribalism into America is like introducing some sort of lethal virus into a population that has no natural immunity. The virus will spread and grow, unchecked, because it is so alien to the host. Similarly, a culture of fraud is anathema to American thinking, and it must be cut out before it consumes the host.
So when you see and hear patriotic Americans decrying what is happening in Minnesota or elsewhere, and when they seek deportation of the offenders, it is not ‘racism,’ it is not ‘bigotry,’ it is not ‘xenophobia’; instead, it is preserving the American tradition of responsible institutions and national integrity.”
- Cynical Publius, retired United States Army officer who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan with the 82nd Airborne Division
💯 correct. It’s the same in Liberia. What we see as fraud, as criminal, they see as honor and survival. It’s difficult to wrap your head around. But this is America, and in America, it’s FRAUD. And that is something they need to understand. Their cultural norms have no standing here.
This truth has been a “weak” spot in American government since its inception, because our government is based on God … our rights coming from God, etc. And clearly, the Bible from Genesis to Revelation points out that things won’t go well for liars. Think Ananias and Sephira, Revelation 21:8. Hence, lying is ostensibly frowned upon in America. I say ostensibly because we all know corruption is endemic. In many, many countries, lying is commonly done and completely accepted as you describe, in order to survive, and in so doing, to defraud their governments. A friend who spent his career in the Merchant Marines told me that much of the world considers America quaint and naive in its belief that the rest of the world shares its titular “stance” on honesty and transparency. For a while he was married to a Peruvian woman but she lied constantly, as she grew up in a culture of lying, and could never understand why he kept trying to get her to stop.
Excellent synopsis! While I wasn't in combat, I've been a fan of military books and movies, especially the Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts. (and Somalia) These cultures have a completely different reality than ours. To send our troops overseas to import our lifestyle and form of government is ridiculous, and to transplant their people into our culture is a lunatic idea and suicidal to us.
As John Adams said; "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
Towards the tail end of this interview your exact points are made. Our constitution and form of governent established with Judeo-Christian morals make it a high trust environment. We are wholly incompatible with a low trust environment where getting ahead by any means is a way of life. The entire interview is good.
Moliere's play TARTUFFE (1666) is the great denunciation of HYPOCRISY — aka FRAUD — wherein a priest cons a dad, seduces the mom, destroying the family from within, and is only exposed by the down-to-earth commonsense of the family maid. this is the West at its best: exposing the rot in its native institutions without pointing fingers abroad.
"African Friends and Money Matters" should be required reading for anyone thinking about 'helping', or even just doing business with, another culture. It's not that you can't, but knowledge is powerful and will save you a ton of frustration, nevermind the resources saved.
They know the difference between right and wrong. And anyone that tries to bribe should be kicked in the balls and bent over and kicked to the curb. I don't care what country anyone is in or from. Tribalism my ass. They are degenerates with criminal minds and immoral lifestyles and know exactly what they are doing.
I disagree and agree with your sentiments; I don't think they have the same idea of right and wrong, but I do agree with your idea of how to resolve it. Even animals understand force; it's a wholly universal language. How do you think they built their framework of beliefs? It's the Law of the Jungle.
I see where you are going with this, but I was figuring I'd reach more people walking around in a T-shirt than inviting them over to use my bathroom. Oh, you mean walking around handing out individual sheets! Yes, agreed, they would certainly go further, but I'm trying to gauge my own reaction to someone walking up and offering me a sheet of toilet paper--even if it contained the phrase "Legal Tender."
Unrelated to this post. I just want to thank you for mentioning the Bear app a few posts ago. Game changer for organizing notes and writing newsletter posts. I do a lot of research for my articles and am already loving the Bear app for keeping everything organized and searchable. Not to mention I could write my entire formatted post in the Bear app. I was using Apple Notes before to capture thoughts and research on the fly.
Mr. Childers
Thank you so much for your insights. I have learned so much reading your submissions. I would recommend Hillsdale's free online Constitutuion 101 Course for anyone interested in better understanding our Constitution and the origins and machinations of the administrative state.
And I would further recommend that anyone interested in familiarizing themselves with the deepest, most compelling examination of the most criminal takeover by any deep state in history (the truest, most accurate account of the metastasizing of Russia into the Soviet Union) to read Alexandre Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago which won the Nobel Prize in literature in 1973.
So painful to read I had to take occasional breaks and read something else, something lighter. But I felt like I had an obligation to humanity to finish it, and I did. It is burned into my consciousness.
His other books are blockbusters as well. All of them.
I’ve read two other books by him. Both left their mark, in many ways.
If I understood Russian history, I might have been able to make it through The Red Wheel. As it is, the title is the story.
I just mentioned in another comment that I wasn't as enthralled by his historical books. The first Circle and Cancer Ward are my other favorites.
I would venture to say that in many ways Jeff Childers work is on a par with Solzhenitsyn's and perhaps one day Jeff will publish a book condensing this newsletter
He should.
Childers is funnier than ol' A.S., though... and maybe just a tad more cheery.
I hope that day is not far away--we SO need all of the "Thomas Paines" that our sickened culture can muster!!
I also read One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, in high school, and The First Circle. After that I read Khrushchev's memoirs. What got me started on him was a great book called Who Killed Kirov? by Amy Knight. She argues that Stalin arranged his murder as an excuse to start the Purge. Fantastic murder mystery, who woulda thunk it? It made me wonder how Khrushchev survived all of that and rose to the top.
One of my favorite books ever was one I was assigned to read for a class on the Soviet Union in the 1920s and 30s. It is called Journey Into the Whirlwind by Eugenia Ginzburg. It’s a fascinating account of how she, as an intellectual and fervent supporter of the revolution and Leninism, became caught up in the Stalinist purges and ended up getting arrested and sent to Siberia.
Lydia, have you heard of the one by Ivan Awfulitch? Scratch that one up to the Russians!
Same here, Lydia. Heavy reading.
yep, but I don't believe I ever did finish it. . .
I should have mentioned that when a gifted author has firsthand LIVED the experiences depicted, its Truth pierces deep into our Soul ... The point about Gulag is how searingly it reminds of of what is occuring here and now: Change the characters, place, and year, and the story is us.
A absolute required read!
Jeffrey and Lydia. I was fortunate to get to make a missions trip to Russia, Mosco and Perm, in 2002, as a dentist with 4 other dentists and 15 associated team members. We took the Trans Siberian Railway from Mosco to Perm, a 12 hour, overnight journey through 6 or 7 time zones. That trip was an amazing cultural experience in itself. We set up a mobile dental clinic in the largest and fastest growing Evangelical church in Russia. We took our mobile clinic north for 2 days to a Russian prison and worked on staff and inmates. Rather intimidating. I was so impacted by the trip, when I returned I started studying the Russian language and reading many books on Russian history. It was a very enlightening period in my life. Challenging but very rewarding.
What an excellent approach, John...to immerse yourself in another culture in an effort to 'reach' them for the Gospel...in a practical way. Dentistry is an often maligned field of medicine - but so important to our overall good health.
These should ALL be required reading for high schoolers:
-Gulag Archipelago by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
-Warning to the West by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
-Cuba: An American History by Ada Ferrer
-The Politically Incorrect Guide to Socialism by Kevin Williamson: Covers the grim history of socialist failures, famines, and wars, linking fascism as a socialist variant.
-Socialism Is Evil: The Moral Case Against Marx's Radical Dream: Focuses on the moral arguments against Marxism.
Always funded from outside the country. Slavery, famine, plunder.
Power to the people alrighty.
Unfortunately, with teachers' unions and corrupted progressive school board in command in so many school districts--the VOICES OF FREEDOM are smothered and forgotten by our young people. That's why colleges like HILLSDALE are "beacons of light" to our 'educated' youth!
In a documentary on Solzhenitsyn they interviewed a (then young) author. She had just written the book Purge. It is a riveting book expressing truth through fiction. It goes through an old woman's experience in Estonia of pre-Soviet occupation to post occupation with the ensuing exploitation of women. Reading the book, reports that in former Soviet countries women are being held hostage becoming human surrogates is no surprise.
A very long time ago I read a book titled Lubyanka, I don't think I could handle another horrifying Soviet story.
They have a KGB museum in the Lubyanka (middle of Moscow) where you can see Powers' gear and the pick axe used to murder Trotsky. Such and many other mementos of the Soviet days... Lubyanka was originally an insurance company building, believe it or not!
(Powers was the U2 pilot shot down spying over the Soviet Union that Eisenhower at first claimed didn't happen)
The story of how the pick axe got back to Russia from Mexico sounds like a book in and of itself. Is Lubyanka where they executed Beria?
Probably, but don't know for sure. A lot of people got executed there.
And for those who want to investigate his other books, some of which are much more accessible, I would highly recommend The first Circle, and Cancer Ward. Another favorite is his speech to Harvard University in the mid 1970s called A Warning to the West. After he delivered that speech he basically became canceled by American media.
I read this as a teenager - and the amount of torture and deprivation that he knew in the Soviet gulags is beyond comprehension--and he LIVED to see his journaling distributed AROUND THE WORLD. What a miracle that is!
He was a deeply committed Christian. He lived to receive God's earthly reward.
Thus...the "miracle"!!
Yes!
I forgot to mention that, at the end of 1999, Time magazine enumerated the various top achievements of the 20th Century:
In that article, Gulag Archipelago was awarded the accolade as the most important work of non fiction of the century.
Put THAT in your pipe and smoke it.
(Such magazines in those days still actually enjoyed a fair modicum of credibility)
We imagine that the Russians under communism suffered more than we do. The gulag in our place and time is the industrial medical complex which exterminates ruthlessly without most of its victims even knowing that it's happening
I should go through this again. I have it on audiobook, and it is an exhaustive read. There is a lot of despair in the reading of this.
Try reading The First Circle or Cancer Ward. They are much shorter in length and include a great deal of wry humor to boot.
I will look this one up.
If only.
Anyone who hasn’t read Orwell’s “1984” really must!
We’ve been living it since at least 2020.
Excellent book
Hillsdale offers wonderful classes and all for free. I have taken 15 so far!
I am an ardent supporter of Hillsdale - I speak of their freedom-honoring programs to every young person that I know and meet when 'out and about'. One of their frequent contributors in their newsletter, VICTOR DAVIS HANSON, is undergoing serious surgery right now - he announced it on his podcast recently. Pray for a God miracle for this courageous, conservative clarion crier who has written and spoken prolifically over his lifetime against the suffocating policies of the powerful 'progressive' voices in our culture.
Thanks Sharon, he has my prayers. At Hillsdale I sponsor a memorial fund for my late husband, a patriot and conservative. My only ask is that the student pursues a degree in political science. What better place? :)
What an excellent way to memorialize your beloved, Carol!
He just called out Mitt Romney for the stupid virtue signaling of “I should pay more taxes”’
https://twitchy.com/warren-squire/2025/12/28/victor-davis-hanson-mitt-romney-pay-money-to-government-n2423277?
May YAHWEH preserve Mr. Hanson's life - we need more of his ilk!!
🙌 Amen! ❤🙏✝️🙏❤
🙏 for Victor!
Just said a prayer for Victor’s surgery outcome and recovery. ❤️🩹
AMEN!
I had missed this announcement. Will be praying for him! We need his voice of wisdom and clear thinking!
AMEN and AMEN

Long time reader… First time poster…
Since you brought up Hillsdale College I wanted to let Mr. Childers know that Hillsdale actually signed a contract with the federal government not too long ago to produce a massive library of videos and other free content that is going to be released as part of the July 4 celebrations next year.
To hear Larry Arn (the president of Hillsdale College) say it, the contract was for zero dollars and gave both parties the free right to distribute all of the content created. I believe it’s the only contract Hillsdale college has ever signed with the federal government.
Yet another one of the unique accomplishments of the Trump administration….
Love this! One more reason to be mystified how anyone can dismiss this administration.
I want to take that coarse.
It definitely exceeded my expectations!
Good to know and thank you!
Good morning C&C! Traveling back home from the land of somali fraud to my home in the west. I request prayers for safe travels. May Our Lord bless you all.
Watched Nick Shirley's video last night on the fraud there. Pretty jaw-dropping.
https://youtu.be/r8AulCA1aOQ?si=5XcYd3YJ8R-X_Bf3
Unbelievable. He was on Rumble last night with Donald Trump Jr for an excellent interview. He said he will be coming out with even more information about all this.
I would love to know how much each one of us have given to foreigners for free in state tuition, room and board, food stamps, health care and everything else you can think of. Imagine the refund check amounts we would get if it was all tallied up and paid back to us. I am so sick of these foreigners getting everything for nothing and making fools of US citizens. Makes me not want to pay my federal taxes this year. No tax money, foreigners receive squat.
Plus, here in Minnesota, free transgender surgery & abortions up to full term. Hard to fathom!
I lived in the burbs of St. Paul, MN while working on a transit rail project in downtown St. Paul for 1.5 years. Being a Texan, I was astonished at all the social programs. It seemed like every other building was some kind of welfare "business." I loved pheasant, duck, and goose hunting and the fishing, but I was glad to see Manysnowtah in my rear view mirror.
Dave if I was to move from Minnesnowta down to Texas, where approximately would you guide me?
Spring and The Woodlands made top two places in Texas for retirees to relocate and live.
Yes, in the rearview (apt description) mirror!
What needs to be aborted in Minnesota are the positions of lunatics in Minnesota government, starting with Tampon Timmy.
Is corrupt Democrat one word?
DemonicRAT covers it.
No, it's the same word - it's a word duplication error - Shame spell-check doesn't highlight this in text
Perhaps. It is certainly overstating the case, and an oxymoron.
Ugh. All our money wasted.
Happy New Year Merry!
See Alex Berensen's article today on Medicare fraud.
https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/its-not-just-minnesota-or-just-daycares
I’m glad Alex is joining in on this! He has a large audience!
So much fraud, it's hard to keep up! Which raises the question: https://aynsrants.substack.com/p/should-i-open-a-daycare
My dream of protest: NO LAW ABIDING CITIZEN PAYS 2025 taxes in protest for how the government has wasted our money
Agreed! How do we stop the taxation? Until we stop feeding the monster that is trying to destroy us
And voilá, a place from where you can get an answer. IMO, genius.
A few minutes ago I got this from a commenter on The Conservative Treehouse.
https://youfundthis.com/
I'm kind of scared to look at this, I know it is going to enrage me.
Hopefully DOGE is becoming a permanent department to investigate more fraud - Bring Elon back for another 6 months
That’s a number I’d like to see as well.
What they don’t get they steal?
I'm totally surprised that Youtube hasn't banned it yet. At the very least indirectly labeled it as misinformation with a link to the "truth" on Wikipedia.
I think as stated, it is too big to cover up, not that they won't try.
and on Fox news(Jesse W) last night, Charlie Hurt in place, they had a video of a black lady from Columbus, Ohio announcing that the EXACT same thing is happening there!
Imagine the extensive corruption, likely in any spot in the US where they have accumulated.
Also, looks like Seattle & Maine
Huge Somali population in Kent!
I watched it as well! And it's just the very tippy top of the proverbial iceberg.
Saved!
Just had prayer. May the Good Lord bless and keep you!
Thank you!
😇🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks Phillip!!
You got 'em. Good luck.
Thanks Jeff!
Did you have to take one of those scrub showers like they do after nuclear exposure? Just asking for a friend.
I use well water, not touching that Minnesota piped in stuff. . .
Haha!
What would ever prompt you to step foot into minnesota, a den of iniquity?
And of course, safe travels!
Grew up in small town Minnesota. It was a Tom Sawyer life hunting, fishing, swimming, baseball. Sledding and skating in the winter. My schools were good and life was pretty good even though we were poor by todays standards. Everyone was poorer then so it didn't matter. Still have a cabin up there but my summer time up there will be coming to an end soon. Minneapolis has changed and the state changed with it. So sad.
A formerly beautiful state destroyed. By DemonRATS!
The left destroys everything they touch.
Like many other states they've ruined.
Yes, immensely sad but time to move on for one's sanity, safety and health.
I have cousins who live in the southern part of the state, near the Wisconsin border. It is farming country and they are all quite conservative. The northern part of the state, away from the Duluth area enclave of Democrats is also quite conservative. Just like Michigan with Detroit, Illinois with Chicago, Wisconsin with Milwaukee, the Left has infiltrated Minneapolis, turning large cities blue, and further ruining, people looking the other way, into sanctuaries for illegal immigrants, mostly from Muslim countries. These states were once home to some of the most burgeoning industries. People got along, no matter their political persuasion, and the cities were just places of industry. Industry left and the cities rotted from welfare and the nanny state.
Family for holidays. Thank you!
May they stay safe and sane in that state. All the best to them.
I have family that lives in St. Paul, and they are good people.
🙏
Amen

Jesus presented another parable to them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went away. But when the wheat sprouted and bore grain, then the tares became evident also. The slaves of the landowner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ And he said to them, ‘An enemy has done this!’ The slaves said to him, ‘Do you want us, then, to go and gather them up?’ But he said, ‘No; for while you are gathering up the tares, you may uproot the wheat with them. Allow both to grow together until the harvest; and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather up the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them up; but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”
— Matthew 13:24-30 NAS95
✝️✝️✝️
Thanks, Janice. A reminder that God “will repay each person according to what they have done.”
Romans 2:6
But to those who believe in the substitutionary sacrificial atonement of Jesus the Christ, mercy and grace. 🙌🏽
HE paid the death penalty for sin but there are still consequences. We still have to humble ourselves, acknowledge our sins asking forgiveness and repent
Praise God for the gospel!
Amen.
And the evil ones will think they are getting away with it… until they are gathered.
Every knee will bow . . .
It burns me up to realize that out of country, illegal immigrants get in state tuition when Americans have to pay exorbitant out of state tuition
It burns me up that we are focused on small fish when the real grifters continue to fleece us for 100s of billions every year - the "defense" industry and the Federal Reserve.
Johnny, if I may, from illegal immigration to the Federal Reserve, there’s always going to a fish to fry and realistically we can’t get to them all.
What we can do is be the best human we can be: to ourselves and each other. This makes the biggest world of difference.
All of our issues have been here decades before us and probably will be here after. But our life and the impact we make, ripples after we’re gone.
Here’s a piece on how we can be the best humans we can be if anyone’s interested: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/11-truths-you-must-embrace-to-survive
That is all fine and dandy but that does not help the average American with their needs or their families needs. These foreigners have to be exported and quickly.
Thanks Franklin, but I think this is all by design to keep the real criminals far from our hands and us in servitude to debt and war.
Oh. So because the Fed and the Pentagon are well known grifters/thieves, we shouldn't do anything about what happened in Minnesota.
I don't recall saying that Lydia - because I didn't. Perhaps make a relevant comment....
Your implication is clear: No good deed goes unappreciated by black-pilled complainers.
Have a nice day - if you are capable of it.
"It burns me we are focused on small fish" certainly implies that the small fish aren't worth it, or you wouldn't be burned. But have it your way. Go ahead and mansplain to your little hear's content. And wring your hands. There, there.
1,000% agree! Completely agree. You’re spot on. The federal reserve and central banking as a whole is built on physical enslavement us, so we have to give our time and attention just to live.
You’re so spot on and I’ve written about financial liberation which I think you may enjoy: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/the-unorthodoxy-way-to-handle-your
But again, totally on the same page. Our history has been set for our enslavement. This is a reality of our world.
stop paying taxes. that is financial liberation.
How? How do you stop paying?
Agreed, until there is some limit on debt spending and money printing nothing will change with the corrupt uniparty federal government. It is corruption by design. They focus on this fraud over here and another will pop up over there. At $38 trillion in unaccounted for debt and rising rapidly it is the fraud of our federal government that needs to be stopped for things to change. Do you think the government has the ability to fix itself? I’m not holding my breath.
Great insight, this is the key problem.
The desire and ability of any branch of the US federal government to reform itself would appear nil. Neither political party, no bureaucrat, no federal judge has the humility or nobility of purpose to the power, prestige and wealth that attends their position. The miracle of the founders of the nation is that they did so.
Lifetime appointment of federal judges and Supreme Court Justices.
40 + careers of congressmen and senators.
The continued meddling of former presidents ( e.g. Clinton and Obama in particular) in the executive branch.
The revolving door of federal regulator/ employee/ NGO contractor/ lobbyist complex.
All much too rewarding to the participants of all stripes.
Expect no conservative revolution in the streets. Street violence and anarchy are the skills of Marxists and ANTIFA adherents. I can sympathize with the attraction of these groups to younger generations who are well aware that the $38 trillion national debt is there future sold to fund the current kleptocracy.
I suspect there will be an authoritarian regime in the US within 25 years. Either leftest/ Marxist through agitation and rebellion or right wing as a reaction to leftest revolutionary violence.
What seems very clear is that the present tax/ borrow/ spend to preserve the present state of dysfunction cannot be sustained , even with violent repression.
I wouldn’t classify 9 billion as small fish. And that’s just the tip…
In response to a post I read above, I saw a post (that I believe may have been on X) wherein it was noted by someone who took the time to figure it out, that of the $6 billion (known amount of fraud at that time) exposed, it equated to approximately $1,580 per American citizen getting "hosed." And now we find that the fraud numbers are even higher. When is Walz going to be indicted?
AND Omar!
Not soon enough…
Johnny’s glass is always half-full and it is Trump’s fault!!!!!!
his is not even 1/2 full and his glass is full of shite.
O Johnny’s motivations on here are highly suspect for several years now.
How are the boot bottoms tasting these days Willing? It doesn't matter what happens, Trump could literally burn the flag in the middle of the street and piss on it and you would call it 4d chess.
Well whose fault is it then? Is it someone else continuing to spend like a drunken sailor and engage in wars across the globe? Who should I point the finger at?
You really “strain out the gnats while swallowing the camel”
You ignore that demonicRATS have been in charge for decades. Your willing blindness has affected your spirit and soul……it will, at the end, affect your body.
Considering the interest on our debt alone is over $1T, yes, 9 billion is small fish. If we want to solve our problems we have to quit this tiny tinkering around the edges and pretending it is a solution.
I agree.
That’s what I was thinking, while American kids can’t afford tuition! 😡
No problem. They can still go to college. Simply take out some soul crushing student loan debt and pay it back with interest over the next 30 years.
They can learn a trade for little or nothing.
They need to get a co-op… Calhoun community college in Tanner. Alabama has a wonderful co-op program for blue collar.
FAME program…
https://calhoun.edu/programs-training/explore-academic-programs/technologies/alabama-fame-amt-program/
AMP program…
https://calhoun.edu/programs-training/explore-academic-programs/technologies/alliance-for-machining-professionals-amp/
This is the one my son went through… He is a CNC machinist and is doing very well. Makes good money. Two years to get his associates while working three days a week and going to school for two days a week. His co-op paid for his schooling.
EPIC program…
https://calhoun.edu/programs-training/explore-academic-programs/technologies/excellence-in-process-industrial-controls-epic/
Or as AutoPen said to the coal miners….”Learn to code.”
AutoPen wasn't much into trades. Dems don't like working folk, too icky.
Exactly Dr. Linda. If that don't piss me off. I had to pay a lot of money to attain my professional degree and had to pay out of state fees. I am sick and tired of this and they need to shut down all funding and let these foreigners leave when their meal tickets stop.
Saw that in CA with my son vs. his classmates.
Dr Linda—I agree. Out-of-state tuition rates are feeding the beast that is higher ed. The resulting student loan debt is criminal. When illegals get to go for free, the crime is compounded as the schools have to make up the shortfall by charging the oaying students more. 😖
Yes… I’m paying right now for 1 kid now, next year I’ll be paying for two. Even in state tuition is not affordable for some. I thanked my parents for paying for my college education and they laughed and said well it was affordable back then. We’re not sure how you’re doing it now!
Well they likely get lots of aid to shrink that instate tuition to nothing. The universities have to be in on it too.

It's amazing how a small number of people can cause so much fraud. Almost like it was baked in.
It's almost like SOMEONE SHOWED THEM HOW TO COMMIT FRAUD shortly after they arrived. I would be looking at the advocacy groups and re-settlement groups.
They do only have one commerce in their country! Theft/ piracy but we expect different behavior here 🙄 the problem when we hand out free crap and don’t have any expectation of assimilation. Americans are the fools here. We need to be less tolerant
What fools we are really stings. Like we’ve put out the message; ‘come rape and pillage us.’ Our women are loose fools and the men are gutless wonders.
I agree! It burns. It pushes all my buttons. Anger and being uncomfortable forces people to move and change so use it and do good.
From el gato malo’s Substack on 5/9/25:
the presumption of “people mean well” becomes a desperately expensive luxury belief when surrounded by those who do not.
🎯🎯🎯 along with the usual suspects in the local Dhimmicrat party ...
You don't have to look too far. I'll give you a clue. His nickname is "Tampon ...?
Does that help? And yet, he is only one of many, many, many.
Damn NGOs again!
Pretty much.
It's that the Somalis are in large part a willing and eager Democrat Party operative community, weaponized and organized to perpetrate the fraud. Which to Dem-Prog-Socialists isn't fraud at all, rather an opportunity to exploit the Enemy; Western Society with its Capitalism, Christianish culture, and democracy
"low trust" people introduced into a "high trust" society - they don't mix. See el gato malo's substack for a lot more about this sort of thing. :(
I just included a gato quote on another comment a minute ago. His articles about how a society founded on the Golden Rule is incompatible with cultures that have the opposite worldview or religion (specifically Islam) are spot-on.
Yeah but to the demoncrats that's a feature, not a bug LOL.
oh hellyeah, drug addiction and death, highway injuries/deaths, property and violent crime all part of the DemoCreep Party-Cult Platform
🎯🎯🎯
And how the defense for the daycares was “well Somalis have a LOT of kids, they need them”. Funny how none of that lot of kids are there. And while their lot of kids is excessive it’s not for American enrichment but to takeover in the future.
And they don’t even work to need the day care apparently
Great minds n all…
Saw a couple notes indicating that the parents would show up at some of these places, check-in, leave with the kids, then go somewhere _else_ to check-in, leave with kids, repeat. The centers had "attendance" and the parents ... got a cut of that govt assistance.
And, I’ll bet they were also registered in public schools……
Why do they NEED childcare when THEY DON’T WORK?????
can you imagine the likes of them running anything? what a shitshow that would be.
Well their IQ was evident from listing Tim Walz’ phone number as one facility’s contact number. 🤣 🤣 And thinking all they had to do was set up offices in windowless buildings and have no kids or services. They didn’t even try to be convincing. The Democrat representatives were shielding them so they didn’t think they had to. Maybe if federal funds weren’t involved it would have worked long term …
Well, they set up the offices and were approved by the govt, survived whatever "inspections" were necessary, and kept going. I think Nick had a note indicating that one business was closed by the state - and opened up the very next day with an "LLC" tacked on to the name with the same people and everything. :(
Question is, who taught them how to do this? These are on average 80 IQ people.
Politicians taught them. Mostly Democrats. Probably a few RINOs
RINOS are democRATS.
And so easily dealt with
they are a corrupt people and nation.
Apparently, Somalia is built on deception and fraud. It is part of their environment and DNA to be this way!
In Minnesota there are 6 designated international airports - DLH, RST, BDE, WWD, INL and MSP. Five flights a day from each would see the problem dealt with in just over a week.
While I appreciate the sentiment -- of the airports you cite only two, Duluth and Minneapolis/St Paul, are capable of handling transatlantic flights. International Falls and Baudette are only 'international airports' because they have Customs agents on site due to the fact they are physically located on the Canadian border. Rochester's longest runway is 9000 feet, which is a little too short for an Airbus 32x or Boeing 73 or 75. And I dunno where you got KWWD from -- that is the old Wildwood military field in Cape May NJ.
Then let's use those Custom agents and ship them back as cargo. So what if it's not a non-stop flight.
Your knowledge is greater than mine - I’ve only been to MSP once and found it bloody cold. Shows the limitations of desktop AI research.
Maybe you’re thinking too literal? I don’t know it starts the deportations so let’s do it
we have a fraud crisis from immoral and corrupt somalis and you are pointing out the capability of each airport? your priorities are upside down.
I think she’s thinking literal Laureen.
(1) I'm a she, not a he. (2) I'm not only a pilot, I am an FAA certificated ground instructor -- I literally *cannot stop myself* from correcting people about their most insignificant and meaningless errors if they have anything to do with aviation.
Apology and fixed pronoun- not sure how I would have known either way.
Fix away! I didn’t mind the lesson. It’s quite literal. You do!
I’m very literal too, GG.
It’s not only from Somali, Dearborn is full of Middle East immigrants
It's like there's a common belief system...can't quite put my finger on it though! lol
Don't forget the revolting, big-nose biitch Rashida Tliab!
Who despises America...
Big nosed bitch 🤣 I usually don’t like when someone is picked on for physical features but made me laugh
She and her odoriferous pals deserve all the insults we can come up with...
And a lot more... that nose begs for a fist... and Omar's corrupt ass, for a boot!
:-)
Completely agree with begging for a fist! I can’t watch them praise other countries in a foreign language 🤬
Yes, Dearborn’s imported residents need to be investigated too. The illegal aliens there know how to work the system to their advantage. Saw an SUV parked next door filled to the roof with cases of cigarettes (likely brought in from another state?) to be sold in their party stores. Pretty sure there was a crime there.
Let’s get deportations going NOW! And ship them out as cheaply and quickly as possible. No perks
Current flights are selling at $1370 from Minneapolis to Mogadishu. Assuming no discount could be negotiated for bulk, and charter rates are the same as retail price, this gives 108,000 at $1370 a total cost (for Minnesota alone) of under $150m. Just sayin'
Guess they need to use the military cargo planes like they did for Afghanistan - that will save on costs
I think the passenger carrying capacity is a lot less. And if you believe that Government does things cheaper than the private sector, I have a few acres of Florida swampland (waterfront, natch) I’m sure you’d be interested in buying.
Not when they are smashed in there like sardines. The pictures we saw show a hell of a lot more were in those planes than a typical airplane could carry.
Only I suspect only the best would do for this fine folk.
Pack ‘em in like you would fish. Chained together with diapers on. Armed guards staring them in their sorry faces.
See my previous response.
send the bill to Omar and Tampon Tim
I think we could get seats for both on the plane
I saw tampon Tim’s got a new nick name Tamplexia 🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
Just handcuff them in the cargo bay of a C-130 and rock and roll.
With the bay door open!
Let’s roll!!!
Seems cheap compared to 9Billion
Illegals have been raking in the cash since they arrived….they either pay or get shipped to GITMO at the cheapest cost of transportation available. And if they can’t get “home” from GITMO that’s their problem.
The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.
Although Minneapolis to Mogadishu is about 8300 miles…
We have no obligation to get them back home. Just drop them off to the nearest place outside of the U.S. and let them find their way home!
Who is teaching them this fraud? Because apparently their IQs are very low?
The Democrat politicians and their cohorts teach them how to subvert the system in return for their votes
@Susan- apparently their IQs are very high since they've bilked the American government for billions. It's how life is lived in Somalia. That's where they learned it.
"It's how life is lived in Somalia."... Exactly. It's not IQ. It's morality and their morality is informed by a war-torn culture, sans any Biblical morality, where violence is the modus operandi for getting ahead and protecting your tribe.
Violence is the basis of their culture right down to the family unit which is enforced through the violence of genital mutilation of girls. Yet we tolerate their "cultural preferences" instead of enforcing laws against the physical mutilation of children. Why? Because we now practice the same here in America where children who are not old enough to make such decisions are medically mutilated, both chemically and physically, in the name of "gender care"!
Can we still be called a "Christian culture"? Before you answer, consider that "abortion", the medical murder of babies IN THE WOMB of mothers, had been legal in America for 50 years which has resulted in the murder of roughly 70 MILLION babies since we enshrined this murder in law in 1973. And we wonder why medical doctors lost their moral compass during the "Covid" Plandemic!
They came for the defenseless first - the babies - and then they came for us.
@Politico- and according to one Somali (legal) who was interviewed, Ilhan Omar belongs to one of the more notorious tribes.
Unlike the cultural development of the 19th century when everyone coming here wanted to be an "American", I'm afraid that like in the US is going to become increasingly "tribal" with the goal of making "white Christian" very much a minority.
@Phil- that is their intention. But we can include those in the early 20th C too, like my father and my mother's mother. Shoot, even my BIL and his family escaped Cuba in 1963 and immediately became productive American citizens.
Exactly……..
I read that their average IQs are around 67.
Almost all black groups have that same IQ average.
Explains much, when considering toilet crust like Crockett, Leticia, Fani, Bragg, Whoopie, Joy Reid, and so MANY more...
Er, gimme de bawl.
@Susan- IQ tests only reveal what a person has had the opportunity to learn and retain. They're useless.
They are also very incestuous.
Ilhan marrying her brother…..no one even blinked at that…..
That’s how their own country is run. They believe it is ‘honorable’ for their tribe to lie, cheat, steal, kill to ‘get one over on another tribe’.
It truly is a ‘shi+hole country’
Bet you I could figure out a much cheaper way than flight to get them gone. It would involve cargo ships. I’m betting if you pack the bastards in tight, you could squeeze 10k on each ship. Beats the catapults.
It’s an interesting thought - converted liners could take some thousands. But it adds a lot of logistical links in the chain. Conversion costs. Transport to the relevant port. A very long distance by sea. Logistics at the other end. Also, some rather uncomfortable historic allusions to when ships came to the US bearing a human cargo, albeit not from East Africa.
I have some airline miles I’m willing to donate …
If the numbers that are now emerging are anything like correct, the RoI on a remigration like this is off the chart. Keep your miles - I’m sure you’ve paid enough tax.
Amen!
Plus, they're all Muslims. They don't assimilate or fit.
I wasn’t making anything other than a logistical analysis. So I’m not commenting on 'parachutes' or religion. To get these sorts of things done, it is best to do them quickly, efficiently and humanely. If the USA wishes to regain moral ascendancy as well as societal and economic harmony, that is.
"quickly, efficiently and humanely." Yes. You're really onto something here.
I don't care if it's humane.
They should be treated as they treated our and the British soldiers in Mogadishu.
These people live like animals. They should be treated as such.
Ok. we can skip the humanity. After all, it's all relative isn't it?
Bravo 👌
Yup. all the libtard states. Better them than us.
There’s probably more of a logistical issue at the other end - Somalia apparently has four international airports, so the Government there, if there is one, may require some assistance in processing 8 flights per diem. Even so.
Each "passenger" gets parachute. Problem solved.
Or, if by ship, a cute little pool noodle. Get however close you can to shore without running aground. Give ‘em a noodle and let them make their way back to their own tribe.
Not our problem. It’s their problem. They’re illegals who came illegally into our country. As far as I’m concerned they can be dropped into the nearest ocean.
Now, how about the Haitians?! 😡
Interesting.... Minnesota and Ohio have the bulk of the Somalis. Florida doesn't even register on the chart.
Identifying, locating and physically deporting over 200,000 people, assuming that is not understated, is a social and logistical nightmare. But that's just the tip of the pyramid. There are estimated to be 50+ million legal aliens and 55+ illegal aliens in this country... almost a third of the country! I have serious doubts the USG will try to deport even the illegals. It's a logistical nightmare. Perhaps the USG will deploy the military to try to accomplish this? That's a big question.
Slaves?
I remember when they were flown into Tennessee during the dead of night
Hubby and I were watching an old Concentration rerun from the early 80’s. One of the contestants, when asked his occupation, replied that he was a “consultant for the high speed rail project currently being built in California.” Before it was newscums, it was Feinstein, Pelosi’s, Brown’s etc rail project to nowhere. Money laundering at its finest.
Don't forget Boston's Big Dig
Yeah, but the Big Dig was actually finished. They are never going to finish the high speed rail as currently designed.
potato potatoe. It still took many more years and multiples of money more than we were told.
And then, when it opened, a piece of concrete fell and killed a woman. They told us that they had used the wrong glue.
Glue? To hold up concrete slabs?
Mrs. RW
Somethings never change.
"unauthorized immigrants". Okay, sure NYT, thank you for the clarification. And good riddance to the J. Edgar Hoover legacy building.
Maybe as they vacate the Hoover building, they will find some more of those super interesting "burn bags!"
The FBI not only needs a change of location but a name change with a complete restructuring.
It’s possible - Department of Defense changed to Department of War.
I can't decide whether to name my toilet the J. Edgar Hoover Building or Washington, D.C.
It’s flush with possibilities
Bowled me over.
😜 Hee hee
🤣
MY current toilet is Dick Cheney's headstone.
Even the Hoover building looks better than BO's library building.
Barry's building is designed to resemble the object he likes to stick up his, er, never mind.
All wonderful news.
On the bureaucratic end, the best they've done thus far is find a corrupt Wisconsin judge guilty of federal obstruction, but even that is a ruse. Last I checked she's at home enjoying full pay and working up an appeal. (Fact check me, please). Apparently, there's not enough evidence against any of the heavy hitting administrative scum to go after. (Merrick Garland, et al.....Bueller?) I wonder why Bogino is retiring after a year? No retribution in sight for the Overlords of the Establishment. The whole system is a joke. There's a government you see and a government you don't see who answer to no one. Everyone's on a leash of varying lengths. There's a different set of rules for the top tier....if rules exist at all.
Bongino goes where he is needed. He helped to set up the infrastructure necessary to support a return to a lawful sustainable FBI, and now he returns to his most important role of information dissemination and as a captain for truth. It is the warriors like Nick Shirley out in the battlefield who need his support. We are at a juncture where Bongino’s national voice and influence is critical to taking down the various internal criminal factions. The longtime attack by globalists against the American way of life will be won through trench warfare.
No way they're going to let him reveal everything he's seen. I’m certain he’ll be hamstringed by being forced to sign an NDA. Personally, I don't buy that he was only going to stick around to set up shop. There wasn't anyone else on the planet to handle that? I do agree that he will be more useful back on radio and other media. In retrospect he never should have left.
Bongino may have saved Trump from another assassination attempt. The Secret Service was in shambles long before Butler. Bongino is more than an influential media personality, but professionally capable due to his work with the Secret Service, and his background as a former police officer in NYC.
I'm fully aware of his credentials. To say that he may have saved Trump from an assassination attempt is purely speculation. Surely there were other worthy candidates who could have fulfilled his role equally as well? I think Dan, like first term Trump, got a serious dose of reality....but, then I too speculate. I appreciate your comments. 😁
He worked for Bush and Obama, traveling the world protecting our presidents. He knows American and international law, are you suggesting he needed a JD degree to be Deputy Director? You’ve got to be imagining then. Sheesh you aren’t getting the fact that we had Biden’s educated idiots that almost caused Trump to be killed in Butler, PA. Bongino saw it coming.
Ok…sheesh, I bow to your wisdom. Relax. 😁
I will be glad to hear his voice again in a regular basis.
Should be quite interesting.
This. That’s exactly how I see it. We need his voice more.
The first time I saw Bongino after he took the Dep FBI director job, I thought, Oh boy, he's frustrated. He's seen the dirt.
and beyond disgusted.
Well shall see... if Danny is a true Patriot that will spill the smelly beans...
Or remain silent about the massive corruption and betrayals.
There may be things he can't talk about because there is still action to be taken.
Eric, this is my worry as well. Any chance Trump shares this concern and part of his long game is to go after that "government you don't see"?
Maybe going after them takes more than 11 months? A Trump style move would be that the early prosecutions are more for the people in the government you don't see rather than for us, namely, some prosecutions that tell them "hey I'm trying to look serious for the People", thereby assuring the Deep Staters that he's no real threat to them. Then the real prosecutions begin. We can hope!
“Maybe going after them takes more than 11 months?”
Are you serious?
The corruption has been building for decades and the cancer runs deep and wide.
You think a few months is all it should take to get it all fixed?
If Trump were a king or a dictator, I suppose he could just knock it all down and rip it all up.
Like a surgeon could just cut it all out. But what benefit, if the surgery kills the patient?
In due time, my friends, in due time.
The Trumpster has a plan. He always has a plan. The fraud issue is probably one of many that will be unleashed before the midterms. Jeff said the same thing. He's got the Dems on the wrong side of the fraud issue and it's hitting peoples pockets. I'm waiting for his debt reduction plan. He thinks big so it's going to be a doozy.
YEESSS
I’m trying to stay hopeful, here, Eric.
I’m always hopeful, but my optics keep beating me into submission. 🤣
"The physical closing of one of the ugliest buildings in the Capital is also a metaphor for the closing of an ignominious chapter in FBI history."
IMO... we are STILL in an ignominious chapter in FBI history.
Ditto the DOJ and CIA.
Like you, I'm still waiting for real accountability. Until then, it's all theater.
I have to suspect that if we were that far gone, we wouldn’t have Trump at all.
“The problem with Democrats is not that they are ungenerous. The problem is that they are so generous with other people’s money.”
signed by a republican governor…
don’t go thinking that this is a one party mess. republicants and rinos have been at the taxpayer slop trough the entire time, too.
Now, Rino Tom Emmer of MN, is trying to act shocked, shocked, I tell you, over the Somali problem that he helped create.
Our Colorado former Rep. Chair Dick Wadhams spouting off all over media yet again today how Trump sucks, misguided, Unaffiliated voters are victimized by conspiracy-kook Republicans, everything is Trump's fault, Colorado is only fully run by Dems due to hateful rightwinger Republicans who make everyone vote Democrat.
Those RINOS were ALWAYS democRATS. DemonicRATS who ran as Republicans, because that’s the only way demons can win……steal, kill and destroy…..
Then, once they win, the vote as RATS. And the voting mechanisms continue counting votes in their favor.
💯
Thank you Jeff for sharing your knowledge, wit, and expertise, over the past year, Many including I look forward to reading your column each day. May God Bless you, your family, and loved ones with peace, hope, health, and joy, in the New Year.
👍😁
Almost a wrap for the year. 2025 was nuts.
Here's hope that 2026 will see us well.
Strap in!
Locked and loaded. Entering with a bang…not creeping around the corner with trepidation…
Yep... will be interesting...
Will the many millions of military age men who came in illegally, and will soon be cut off from their SNAP, housing, healthcare and so many other freebies...
Go away quietly?
Or are a large number of them still serving the countries of our adversaries... and ready to begin kinetic sabotage and terror operations when ordered?
Can we handle hundreds of simultaneous infrastructure attacks, especially on our water supplies and power grids?
To add some fuel to the Minnesota Somali fraud dumpster fire, here are some guys mocking us all about it (“it’s just a joke” 🙄 Oh sure… 🙄 It’s absolutely hilarious when taxpayers are bilked out of billions of dollars meant to help struggling American citizens, in order to pay for luxury homes and cars expensive jewelry, and give money to foreign warlords 🙄😑).
https://twitchy.com/justmindy/2025/12/29/somalian-satire-video-n2423339?
I'm glad the current admin is happy to keep funneling money to the warlords in Ukraine. How about it all stops and we keep our money here (that is borrowed and we don't actually have)
Someone should make a video showing those douchebags alongside a video of the suffering children those funds were intended for.
Suffering children? Really? They come here or are anchor-baby born here, receive free WIC, SNAP, CHIP (medical coverage), subsidized housing, free education, etc. The "funds" were absurd frosting on the cake of full welfare benefits in order to ensure their parasite parents would vote for Democrats. Why are they suffering? There is no video to be made.
Believe it or not, there are children born to families who have been in Minnesota for generations who could use more resources. It's those children who are the theft victims here. I'm not a big fan of the expansive welfare state under any circumstances, but if we're going to have one it should be understood as a safety net for the bottom tier of Americans who have fallen on hard times, not a piggy bank for every Third World grifter who manages to talk some Lutheran NGO into forking over a plane ticket.
Americans are suffering while we are forced to support foreigners. They need to be exported now.
I think you may have misunderstood Greg’s comment. I don’t think he was talking about the immigrant children.
Perhaps I misunderstood. The immigrant children and their parents are exactly who those daycare programs were established to benefit. But Minnesota is a welfare state that rivals the Scandinavian countries. Its poverty rate is lower than the national average, and the state has an immense safety net. That is why so many Somalians were sent there in the first place, so I wonder how many non-Somalian children are actually suffering. It is interesting that Minnesota counts African-Americans and Somalians as one subgroup, when obviously their situations are very different. The native black people in Minnesota, especially Minneapolis, seem to have been shuttled aside.
Those fake daycare programs were designed to defraud the taxpayers and enrich the fraudsters. These centers were never intended to actually have children there. Daycare programs helped out by federal government funding are are least ostensibly there to help low income working people make ends meet. This includes non immigrant people. But I agree with you that the Somalis were attracted to the state because of the generous benefits and programs, they’ve said as much. However, that doesn’t negate the fact that the money for these programs (whether daycare, autism-related or lunch programs) was intended to be used to give additional help and resources to those who truly need it. My interpretation of the comment you responded to is that the person was referring to those kids who never got the help they needed because of the fraud. I hope this clarifies what I was trying to say in my other comment. And all of your points are well taken, I don’t disagree with you that the Somalians intended to use and abuse the programs for themselves.
puke
Right?? 😡
I can't watch this RL. I'll just be so angry. Thanks for posting though.
I totally get that 😞
I see tar and feathers in their futures. And then a steel tipped boot to their balls. That should fix them.
F#&K!
I tried to watch this but couldn’t understand a word they said. 😳
Here’s another one saying we should be GRATEFUL to them 🙄🙄🙄😡😡😡
https://twitchy.com/justmindy/2025/12/28/somalians-think-minnesota-should-thank-them-for-being-so-successful-n2423295?
Shouldn't the people who want the government to help *insert group of people* be the angriest at fraud perpetrated against the American taxpayer, since the $ they entrusted the government to spend on fixing problems is not, in fact, going to fixing those problems?
I don’t think they can, because then they’d have to look at every single program, and they’re all rife with fraud. I read ‘Sanfransicko’ by Michael shellenberger a few years ago and it really opened my eyes to the corrupt process of these groups.
San Fran Feces
🤣🤣🤣
Yes! I had the same thought about the children's services fraud stories: none of those stories talk about the children who left without any of the help we paid for. Or, if the story mentioned it, it was one throw-away line in the story.
Over at Samizdata.net, a commenter suggested we set up charity funds to pay for all the welfare. If someone thinks more should be spent, they can contribute more. When the contributed funds are spent, no more benefits can be paid. But shut down all government funded welfare!
The free market always outperforms government action, including charitable endeavors. I know a few nonprofits that actually helped the people they claimed to help, did it mostly with volunteers, only paid their staff reasonable salaries, and chased down their own funding sources by writing grant proposals or appealing to the sources by showing the work they were actually doing in the communities they were helping, and proposing what they would do with more funding.
I served on the board of a non-profit here in Portland OR, ( I know…), Komak. Our mission and purpose is to support people who have just received a cancer diagnosis and don’t have the financial ability to take off the 2 months of time needed for treatment as they’re half or more of the family income. We help with establishing a budget and pay the rent and utilities directly for the first month while family and other sources of help get into place. On average it costs about $2000 per client to halt a family’s fall off the ladder of stability. We help over 100 clients a year in a five county area around us. We raise funds through grants and fundraising/donations. We have two events a year. We are happy to report that grants pay our modest running costs, meaning all donations go to clients. Other than the bookkeeper, it is all unpaid volunteers. Lean and effective. It can be done. ✨🙏
When the stated mission is actually the true purpose of the organization, rather than a hook to draw support, this is how it's done.
Exactly. We’re even “ecumenical”, Catholic, Protestant, and B’hai Brith. 😊
Komak is a Persian word for care. Begun to carry out the wishes of a man who had resources during his cancer diagnosis, who saw others struggling with basic needs during those first shocking weeks of cancer treatment. He asked his friends to help and Komak Persian dinner parties were born. His legacy of caring has carried on for nearly 20 years. May he rest in peace✨🙏
That's great!
I live in a town around 4,000 population, in the poorest county in a wealthy blue state. When all the fuss erupted during the government shutdown about SNAP running out, the churches here coordinated a community food bank surge that was on top of their regular services, such that we could have fed everyone in the county for six months. Of course it came to nothing; first the state said they would cover SNAP for the duration out of surplus funds (which somehow are never 'surplus' when the issue of tax cuts comes up) and then the shutdown ended before anyone had time to even think about being hungry.
Writing grants means snookering the taxpayer usually.
Unless the grant proposals are written to retain funds from a foundation. The foundations themselves might be miles away ideologically from the original founders’ intentions and values, but sometimes to money actually does go to worthy causes.
The Panera’s near me had a very short experiment several years ago. They put up a sign that you could pay whatever you wanted for their food. Those who were able should pay extra to help those who couldn’t afford the full price.
It didn’t last long at all.
More charity for them-2 words and it ain't Happy Birthday.
Never meant to fix problems.
Just to promote banker wars.
Or to simply maintain their own wealth and influence.
Who ever told you our tax dollars were meant to “fix problems?” Geez! Being taxed the way we are IS the problem! Search your memory, my dear. Boston harbor comes to mind, right?
I never said our tax dollars were meant to fix problems. I said that the people who support the government using our tax dollars think that way.
They didn’t want the problems fixed.they wanted cover to steal cash. They got it.
“They,” meaning the politicians and grifters. But they bamboozled their voters into thinking they want the money to “help” people.
When power is the only thing you care about, fixing problems is just an inconvenience
Forgive me, but I copy/pasted this. I thought it was quite interesting when talking about all of the Somali fraud.
“RE: Fraud in Minnesota
I’m not sure that most Americans understand that in large swathes of humanity, there is no actual concept of ‘fraud,’ particularly fraud against the government. Instead, there is a belief in the virtue of getting away with what you can to help yourself and your tribe.
I spent a lot of my life in the Middle East and Central Asia, working closely with foreign contractors and foreign governments to provide support to American military operations. As a US Army officer with a big checkbook courtesy of Uncle Sam, I can’t really count the sheer number of times I was offered bribes to award a contract, or falsify records to do things like create larger (fake) headcounts at places like dining facilities, or to just simply be on the take for future illegal requests.
Of course I had enough sense to never comply with such requests. Moreover, they were never explicitly structured as ‘bribes’; instead it was usually along the lines of ‘Here I have these Rolexes as gifts for you and your wife to show our friendship.’ (Unfortunately, too many US officers and NCOs succumbed to this siren song and ended up breaking rocks in Leavenworth.)
The weird thing about this to me was that whenever I turned down such an offering, it was treated as a grave insult. I was the one in the wrong, and not the fraudster trying to bribe me. They considered it rude that I was in their country and refused to accept how things got done. After all, why did I not want to help my tribe by helping their tribe?
Let me repeat: in these cultures, FRAUD IS NOT EVEN A CONCEPT. There is only what helps your tribe.
Such thought processes are so alien to Americans and much of the West. We are raised on the presumption that our institutions are valid, that the rule of law always prevails, and that integrity is universal. We need these presumptions to have working governments and economies, and without those presumptions—without the mental barrier that causes us not to accept outright fraud—our nation would quickly descend into the economic and social hellscape of countries like…. ummm… you know…. SOMALIA!
So when we import people en masse from cultures that accept bribery and fraud as routine, acceptable ways to advance one’s tribe, we should not be surprised that things like the $8 BILLION fraud schemes of the Somali population in Minnesota happen so easily.
Introducing a fraud-based culture based on tribalism into America is like introducing some sort of lethal virus into a population that has no natural immunity. The virus will spread and grow, unchecked, because it is so alien to the host. Similarly, a culture of fraud is anathema to American thinking, and it must be cut out before it consumes the host.
So when you see and hear patriotic Americans decrying what is happening in Minnesota or elsewhere, and when they seek deportation of the offenders, it is not ‘racism,’ it is not ‘bigotry,’ it is not ‘xenophobia’; instead, it is preserving the American tradition of responsible institutions and national integrity.”

💯 correct. It’s the same in Liberia. What we see as fraud, as criminal, they see as honor and survival. It’s difficult to wrap your head around. But this is America, and in America, it’s FRAUD. And that is something they need to understand. Their cultural norms have no standing here.
This truth has been a “weak” spot in American government since its inception, because our government is based on God … our rights coming from God, etc. And clearly, the Bible from Genesis to Revelation points out that things won’t go well for liars. Think Ananias and Sephira, Revelation 21:8. Hence, lying is ostensibly frowned upon in America. I say ostensibly because we all know corruption is endemic. In many, many countries, lying is commonly done and completely accepted as you describe, in order to survive, and in so doing, to defraud their governments. A friend who spent his career in the Merchant Marines told me that much of the world considers America quaint and naive in its belief that the rest of the world shares its titular “stance” on honesty and transparency. For a while he was married to a Peruvian woman but she lied constantly, as she grew up in a culture of lying, and could never understand why he kept trying to get her to stop.
Excellent synopsis! While I wasn't in combat, I've been a fan of military books and movies, especially the Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts. (and Somalia) These cultures have a completely different reality than ours. To send our troops overseas to import our lifestyle and form of government is ridiculous, and to transplant their people into our culture is a lunatic idea and suicidal to us.
As John Adams said; "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
Towards the tail end of this interview your exact points are made. Our constitution and form of governent established with Judeo-Christian morals make it a high trust environment. We are wholly incompatible with a low trust environment where getting ahead by any means is a way of life. The entire interview is good.

Moliere's play TARTUFFE (1666) is the great denunciation of HYPOCRISY — aka FRAUD — wherein a priest cons a dad, seduces the mom, destroying the family from within, and is only exposed by the down-to-earth commonsense of the family maid. this is the West at its best: exposing the rot in its native institutions without pointing fingers abroad.
666-bad numbers.
haha yeah it's the actual date of the play.
"African Friends and Money Matters" should be required reading for anyone thinking about 'helping', or even just doing business with, another culture. It's not that you can't, but knowledge is powerful and will save you a ton of frustration, nevermind the resources saved.
They know the difference between right and wrong. And anyone that tries to bribe should be kicked in the balls and bent over and kicked to the curb. I don't care what country anyone is in or from. Tribalism my ass. They are degenerates with criminal minds and immoral lifestyles and know exactly what they are doing.
I disagree and agree with your sentiments; I don't think they have the same idea of right and wrong, but I do agree with your idea of how to resolve it. Even animals understand force; it's a wholly universal language. How do you think they built their framework of beliefs? It's the Law of the Jungle.
Great post! Truly, Third-Worlders are not compatible with American civil society.

While I was there I found this Nugget:
"Socialism: Ideas so good they have to be mandatory."
Vistaprint will let you design your own tee shirts.
It should be printed on rolls of toilet paper.
I see where you are going with this, but I was figuring I'd reach more people walking around in a T-shirt than inviting them over to use my bathroom. Oh, you mean walking around handing out individual sheets! Yes, agreed, they would certainly go further, but I'm trying to gauge my own reaction to someone walking up and offering me a sheet of toilet paper--even if it contained the phrase "Legal Tender."
I was handed a sheet of toilet paper in public once. It was labeled, "Marriage Certificate."
with faces of dems we can wipe our arses with.
Unrelated to this post. I just want to thank you for mentioning the Bear app a few posts ago. Game changer for organizing notes and writing newsletter posts. I do a lot of research for my articles and am already loving the Bear app for keeping everything organized and searchable. Not to mention I could write my entire formatted post in the Bear app. I was using Apple Notes before to capture thoughts and research on the fly.
PS- love your work.
I downloaded the Bare app. It's gonna get me in trouble.
I saw what you did there 😜
It was an honest mistake...
Just downloaded…thanks for the tip!
