A story of fraud is beginning to stink up the air in Minneapolis.
We have all heard all the rhetoric surrounding the recent government shutdown where kids were going to starve because Chuck Schumer (D-NY) was shutting down the government to prove his bona fides to the extremists on the left. What the truth of that matter is difficult to ascertain.
However, what has been going in in Minneapolis is not difficult to understand. This was outright fraud. It was stealing money that was supposed to bring meals to kids. I am indebted to Ken Blackwell for bringing this out into the open. God knows that Big Media outlets like the NYTimes do not want to touch this with a ten-foot pole.
Ken Blackwell:
A Somalian-owned restaurant called Safari pulled in a staggering $12 million in federal dollars meant to feed hungry children.
They filed paperwork claiming they were serving between 4,000 and 6,000 kids every single day.
But when the FBI quietly set up cameras overlooking the building on Lake Street, they didn’t see thousands of kids lining up for meals.
They saw an average of forty people in six weeks.
Forty.
The feds eventually installed twelve surveillance cameras across multiple locations tied to this scheme because the numbers were so unbelievable.
One of those cameras was placed at a deli in Saint Paul registered under defendant Salim Sayyed.
He reported serving 1,800 meals per day.
The camera footage shown to the jury? An average of twenty-three people walking in and out daily.
As the trial continued, jurors were shown mountains of invoices, meal count sheets, and emails seized from the headquarters of Feeding Our Future in Saint Anthony.
Some of those documents even included links to websites that randomly generated children’s names and ages… all to create fake rosters so they could keep cashing in federal money meant for kids who never existed.
Didn’t anyone notice? How could this have reached the size that it did? Who was signing off on these payments?
And here’s where it becomes infuriating.
Minnesota’s own Department of Education had seen the red flags long ago!
Reimbursement requests skyrocketed overnight.
Meal counts were literally impossible.
But they approved the paperwork anyway.
Rubber-stamped it like nothing was wrong.
Were the people who approved this DEI-hires or were they in on it as well? How far does this fraud reach? If this was a Republican state administration, Big Media would be trumpeting this failure to properly manage public funds all over the country. But, of course, it is not. This is a state government run by Democratic Socialists. And Tim Walz, our erstwhile VP candidate, is at the top of the heap.
And now, a new audit confirms what people have been shouting — this wasn’t just fraud. It was failure from the top down.
If the governor’s own office can’t keep track of its receipts, how can he demand integrity from his agencies?
Inflated invoices, fake names, no oversight, no accountability… all of it on his watch.
Tim Walz knew.
He did nothing.
So where is the accountability now?
