Listen up, folks, because if you thought the swamp in D.C. was bad, wait until you hear about the cesspool Tim Walz has been presiding over in Minnesota. This guy’s supposed to be running a state, but instead, he’s turned it into a free-for-all for fraudsters, with billions vanishing into thin air—or worse, straight into the pockets of jihadists. We’re talking about a massive scam where welfare dollars meant for Americans ended up funding Al-Shabaab, the Somali terror outfit that’s basically Al-Qaeda’s evil twin, dreaming up another 9/11. And all this under Walz’s nose, while he plays the folksy Midwestern dad act. America First means protecting our borders and our wallets, not handing out blank checks to ingrates who bite the hand that feeds them. Let’s break this down, because it’s time to wake up and smell the corruption.
The Feeding Our Future Feeding Frenzy: $250 Million Vanished
It all kicked off during the COVID chaos in 2020, when federal funds poured in to feed hungry kids through child nutrition programs. In Minnesota, a nonprofit called Feeding Our Future was supposed to oversee meal distributions, but instead, it became the epicenter of the largest pandemic fraud scheme in the country. Over 70 people, mostly from the Somali community, got charged with ripping off $250 million. They set up fake food sites, claimed to serve millions of meals that never happened, and pocketed the cash for luxury cars, mansions, and trips. One crew even tried to bribe a juror with $120,000 in cash left in a bag at her door—straight out of a bad mob movie.
By 2022, the feds had shut it down, but the damage was done. Trials wrapped up in 2025 with guilty verdicts across the board, including five convictions in March after a retrial. Walz’s Department of Education got slammed in a June 2024 audit for “inadequate oversight” and “actions and inactions” that basically rolled out the red carpet for the thieves. They ignored red flags like skyrocketing meal claims—up 400% in one year—and kept the money flowing. Why? Because calling it out might have been “insensitive.” Meanwhile, real Minnesotans footing the bill got stiffed.
Beyond Feeding: Billions in Broader Fraud Under Walz
But Feeding Our Future was just the appetizer. Since Walz took office in 2019, Minnesota has seen over $1 billion in total fraud across multiple programs. Take the autism services scam: Fraudsters billed the state for fake treatments, raking in $14 million through phony diagnoses and kickbacks. Then there’s the Housing Stabilization Services program, shut down on October 31, 2025, after rampant abuse—six of eight charged were Somali descent, funneling millions meant for housing aid into personal slush funds.
Walz’s administration claims they’re cracking down, proposing a $39 million anti-fraud plan in March 2025 to centralize investigations at the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. But that’s after the horse bolted. In October 2025, Walz blamed “organized crime” for the mess, admitting fraud is still happening. Too little, too late, Governor. This isn’t incompetence; it’s a pattern of turning a blind eye while taxpayer dollars disappear.
The Terror Twist: Welfare Bucks to Al-Shabaab
Here’s where it gets downright treasonous. Revelations on November 20, 2025, exposed how untold millions from these schemes didn’t just buy Lamborghinis—they funded terror. Somali fraudsters laundered the cash through “hawalas,” informal money transfer networks, shipping it back to Somalia. A chunk landed with Al-Shabaab, the Islamist group that’s killed thousands, including Americans, and is plotting attacks on U.S. soil. Law enforcement sources confirmed the link: Welfare from Minnesota’s Department of Human Services became jihad jet fuel.
Think about it—Al-Shabaab, allied with Al-Qaeda, using American tax dollars to arm up for another catastrophe. This isn’t some distant threat; it’s our money enabling enemies who hate everything we stand for. Walz’s lax oversight let this happen, importing problems from failed states and then subsidizing them. America First demands we stop this insanity: No more rewarding those who exploit our generosity to fund our destruction.
How It All Went Down: Open Borders Meet Welfare Wonderland
Minnesota’s Somali population, the largest in the U.S. at over 100,000, exploded thanks to refugee resettlements starting in the 1990s. Many are hardworking, but a subset saw the welfare system as an ATM. Under Walz, programs ballooned without checks—COVID waivers ditched site visits and audits, turning oversight into a joke. Fraudsters exploited clan networks, faking documents and inflating claims. By 2021, meal reimbursements hit absurd levels: One site claimed to feed 2,500 kids daily in a town of 1,200.
Walz’s team ignored warnings. A 2024 legislative audit blasted the Department of Education for not acting on fraud alerts as early as 2020. Instead, they sued to keep paying Feeding Our Future, even after red flags. Why? Politics. Accusing a minority community of fraud might ruffle progressive feathers. So, billions evaporated, and now we’re learning some fueled terror camps in Somalia.
Stopping the Bleed: Real Solutions for an America First Future
Enough with the hand-wringing—here’s how we fix this mess and prevent it nationwide. First, overhaul oversight: Mandate real-time audits, AI-flagged anomalies, and mandatory site inspections for all welfare programs. No more rubber-stamping claims. Second, crack down on hawalas: Regulate these shadowy transfers like banks, requiring tracking to cut off terror pipelines.
Third, reform immigration: America First means vetting refugees rigorously and limiting chain migration that overwhelms communities. Tie welfare eligibility to citizenship and work requirements—end the free ride that breeds fraud. Fourth, prosecute aggressively: Walz’s $39 million plan is a start, but expand it with federal task forces targeting ethnic fraud networks. And impeach officials who fail—Walz should face heat for this debacle.
Finally, empower whistleblowers and cut bureaucratic bloat. Minnesota’s fraud exploded because liberals prioritized “equity” over accountability. Time to put Americans first, secure our systems, and stop funding our enemies. If Walz won’t do it, voters will—because this isn’t just theft; it’s a betrayal of everything that makes this country great. Wake up, Minnesota, before the next scam hits.
