🚨 INFURIATING: Despite the MASSIVE Somali fraud scandal, Tim Walz announces a NEW welfare program for Somalis and other illegals
The taxpayer-funded family and medical leave program gives Somalis up to 20 PAID WEEKS OFF PER YEAR to “bond” with a child
CUT OFF FEDERAL FUNDS!… pic.twitter.com/s1EQ1SFT7d

Ed: YGBFKM. What is Walz trying to buy with this new graft platform? Or what is attempting to hide? This is looking like a payoff or shakedown, and maybe both.

NY Post: A Youtuber found no children inside a Minnesota daycare that has received $4 million in state funding — and couldn’t even spell “learning” correctly on its own front door.
The apparent revelation comes amid the exploding welfare scandal involving the state’s Somali community , which the feds have said could top $9 million.
In a video that went viral this week, Nick Shirley and another man can be seen approaching a Minneapolis building that has a sign that incorrectly reads “Quality Learing [sic] Center.”
Ed: This is too perfect. Quality, eh? Let’s make the question “Is our childrens learing?” Minnesota’s new state slogan.

The only fraud more vile is the media frauds who bury these stories while giving each other pulitzers for their fabrication and fiction. https://t.co/zzgZHqP6Te

Ed: Exactly. Let’s also point out how this applies to the Star Tribune in particular, which has existed as a narrative amplification service to the DFL for decades. It’s one of the worst newspapers in the country, and other than its comics page and its archive of James Lileks’ work, utterly useless.
===
Fox News: The Quality Learning Center also recently made news for collecting 95 violations from the state human services agency between 2019 and 2023, according to St. Paul’s ABC affiliate.
Such violations range from failure to keep hazardous items away from kids to the daycare not having any records for more than a dozen listed children, according to the outlet. Documentation reviewed by Fox News Digital showed the site’s current license does not expire until the end of 2026.
Ed: Isn’t that the Quality Learing Center?
===
4 million dollars of hard earned tax dollars going to and an education center that can’t even spell learning correctly.
Care to explain this one, @tim_walz? https://t.co/mGhS5IP4km

Ed: I’d love to see that question come from the media, especially in the Twin Cities. We’ll be waiting a very long time for that.

Newsmax: Minnesota Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar’s husband’s venture capital firm quietly scrubbed key officer details, including names tied to former Obama officials, as scrutiny grows over the family’s skyrocketing wealth, The New York Post reported Saturday.
Omar’s net worth reportedly surged to tens of millions within two years, coinciding with the emergence of a large fraud scheme in the Somali community in her district. …
After the scheme unfolded, Omar’s husband, Tim Mynett, established Rose Lake Capital in 2022. The firm’s reported value rapidly increased from nearly nothing in 2023 to between $5 million and $25 million within a year, and it claims to manage $60 billion in assets.
Omar’s net worth rose an eye-popping 3,500% in just two years, from about $205,000 in 2023 to nearly $30 million in 2025, according to financial disclosures.
Ed: Where there is scrubbing, there shall we find dirt. And when one turns on the light, the roaches will scatter. Time to track them all down. We are all getting some quality “learing” these days about the corrupt regime in Minnesota.

Minneapolis, Minnesota. The streets are empty. No longer do people come to downtown Minneapolis. People say it’s too dangerous cars get broken into and there’s no reason to come because every business has left.

Ed: That scene is breathtaking. When we moved to the Twin Cities in 1997, the downtown area was vibrant and filled with people at Christmas, even in the cold. The Holidazzle Parade was amazing. Walz and the DFL have turned it into a ghost town.

Jerusalem Post: Hamas is planning to hold internal elections to choose its new political bureau head, Saudi Arabia-based outlet Asharq News reported on Saturday.
The election, which was originally set to be held in early 2025, was ordered by a leadership council that was established after the deaths of Hamas’s previous political bureau heads, Ismail Haniyeh and the mastermind behind Hamas’s October 7 massacre, Yahya Sinwar.
Asharq reported that the decision to hold the election, which will result in the dissolution of the leadership council, was forced by “the appearance of contradictory opinions among the members of the council” regarding Hamas’s future in Gaza and ties with regional allies.
Ed: Hamas is supposed to be disarming as part of the peace process, but is refusing to do so. That makes the winner of this “election” more of a target than anything else. That likely accounts for the long delay in choosing the new leadership.

Ed: It’s amazing that media figures are this dense. Especially Kristof, who really should know better.

Ed: Who knew that proper enforcement would lead to border security? Go figure. Remember when Democrats insisted that it would take new legislation to accomplish this – legislation that would have tolerated 2500 illegal border crossings a day before taking “emergency action”? This is what I voted for. Meanwhile, also on CNN …
===
Crossing the border illegally is a federal criminal offense.
A first-time illegal crossing is a misdemeanor via 8 USC 1325. An illegal entry after deportation is a federal felony via 8 USC 1326.
Overstaying a visa is a civil offense.
All of the above makes one deportable. https://t.co/sdN5v0NoLK

Daily Caller: Democratic New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s rent-stabilized Queens apartment will cost the next tenant $800 more per month than the socialist lawmaker paid.
The one-bedroom Astoria unit is now commanding $3,100 per month, a 35 percent increase from the roughly $2,300 Mamdani paid during his seven-year tenancy, according to the New York Post. …
“Isn’t that just the Democratic Socialists of America’s New York in a nutshell?” NYC Council Minority Leader Joanne Ariola told the NY Post. “A nepo baby leaves his under-market apartment for a mansion, the price gets jacked up for the next guy, and some ill-conceived legislation forces the landlords to make an off-market listing to avoid the fees ‘progressive’ policies shoved down their throats.”
Ed: It’s not just Minnesota that’s corrupt.

600 mostly old men, women, and children were slaughtered while the men were off fighting the Civil War for the Union.
Walz forgot to mention that part.— Shaqir Kabashi (@TwinCities2030) December 27, 2025
Ed: You can see the whole debate at Twitchy. This is a well-known incident in Minnesota history, which has been manipulated to attack Lincoln’s reputation. The men were hanged after a reprisal attack on a settlement that slaughtered hundreds, and originally, more than 300 men were sentenced to death for it. Lincoln commuted all but 38 of those death sentences in 1862, sparing 264 men from the gallows. It is still the largest single execution in American history, but Lincoln’s actions assured that this was justice rather than revenge. Governor Alexander Ramsey warned that Lincoln could lose re-election over it, but Lincoln replied. “I could not afford to hang men for votes.” Walz’ exploitation here is despicable.

This is corrupt AF https://t.co/pYMtCzM7Od

Ed: Exactly. This vouching system has been in place for decades. Supposedly, the ballots cast are considered provisional, but as far as I know, the state has never bothered to follow up to ensure that the people casting the ballots are US citizens or eligible to vote.
