UN Security Council Presidency Draws Scrutiny Over Ambassador’s Past Ties to Sanctioned Medicaid Provider

The rotating presidency of the United Nations Security Council may change every month, but the standards represented by those who hold the position should not.

Leadership of the world’s most powerful international security body carries symbolic weight and sends a message about the values the United Nations claims to uphold: accountability, transparency, and respect for the rule of law.

That is why recent scrutiny surrounding the background of the current presiding ambassador from Somalia, Abukar Dahir Osman, deserves serious attention.

Public reporting indicates that before entering diplomatic service, the official was associated with the leadership of a U.S.-based healthcare company funded by Medicaid that later faced serious regulatory and compliance problems, including exclusion from federal healthcare programs. While there is no verified public record of a criminal conviction against the individual, the documented issues tied to the company itself are not disputed.

WOW: Trump Shares Video Questioning if Tim Walz Ordered the Assassination of Minnesota Lawmaker Melissa Hortman to Cover Up Somali Fraud Scheme

President Donald Trump has shared a video questioning whether Minnesota Governor Tim Walz was involved in ordering the assassination of State Representative Melissa Hortman to cover up the Somali fraud scheme.

The post, which Trump shared on his Truth Social platform, suggests Hortman’s murder may have been tied to her efforts to expose a multi-billion-dollar money laundering operation funneling funds to illegal immigrants, particularly Somalis, through corrupt government rackets in childcare and healthcare.

Last summer, Hortman and her husband, Mark Hortman, were gunned down in their home by a man posing as a police officer. Democrat State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette Hoffman, were also targeted in a separate incident at their residence on the same night. Miraculously, the Hoffmans survived.

Vance Boelter, a 57-year-old man who was later arrested for the shootings and indicted on six federal charges, including stalking and murder.

According to a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the District of Minnesota, Boelter conducted “extensive research and planning” before embarking on a “murderous rampage targeting Minnesota’s elected officials and their families.”

It was soon revealed that Boelter was appointed to the Governor’s Workforce Development Board by Walz, and in his confession, he claimed he was ordered to do the assassinations by the governor himself.

The post Trump shared, originally from X user @LightOnLiberty, asks, “Was Minnesota State Rep Melissa Hortman murdered because she voted against and was exposing a multi-billion dollar money laundering fraud going to illegal immigrants in Minnesota?!”

Tampon Tim Walz DROPS OUT of Minnesota Governor’s Race Following Massive Somali Fraud Scandal

The ongiong Somali fraud scandal has brought an end to Givenror Tim Walz’s political carrer in Minnesota.

He has announced he will not seek a third term this morning.

Here is Walz’s full statement via KTTC:

In September, I announced that I would run for a historic third term as Minnesota’s Governor. And I have every confidence that, if I gave it my all, I would succeed in that effort.

But as I reflected on this moment with my family and my team over the holidays, I came to the conclusion that I can’t give a political campaign my all. Every minute I spend defending my own political interests would be a minute I can’t spend defending the people of Minnesota against the criminals who prey on our generosity and the cynics who prey on our differences.

So I’ve decided to step out of the race and let others worry about the election while I focus on the work.

I know this news may come as a surprise. But I’m passing on the race with zero sadness and zero regret. After all, I didn’t run for this job so I could have this job. I ran for this job so I could do this job. Minnesota faces an enormous challenge this year. And I refuse to spend even one minute of 2026 doing anything other than rising to meet the moment. Minnesota has to come first – always.

Axios reports that Senator Amy Klobuchar and Attorney General Keith Ellison could now jump in the race.

Somali fraudsters got luxury digs, beachside resort, rented Rolls Royce and Lamborghini with stolen funds

These are the lifestyles of the rich and shameless.

The Somali fraudsters convicted in the Feeding Our Future scandal flaunted government-funded lifestyles and robust real estate portfolios with the millions of dollars they bilked from the federal government.

Brazen scammers stole hundreds of millions of dollars of federal COVID relief funds — spending their loot on tony condos, expensive cars, and real estate projects in Kenya — including a four-story apartment building and luxury resort, according to court documents.

Minny insiders marveled this week to The Post at their sheer chutzpah.

Liban Yasin Alishire, 43, who pleaded guilty in 2023 to wire fraud and money laundering, spent $350,000 from his pilfered payouts on a luxury resort.

Son of Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison Accused Of Collecting Six-Figure City Salary Despite Harvard Fellowship In Massachusetts

Minnesota city council member and son of radical AG Keith Ellison is accused of “accepting a full time accepting a full-time fellowship at Harvard University while continuing to collect his six-figure taxpayer salary.”

This was recently reported by Campus Reform.

Minnesota, sadly, seems to be a focus of corruption right now.

Jeremiah “Ellison, the son of Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, told The Minnesota Star Tribune that he is splitting time between Minneapolis and Cambridge, Massachusetts, during the final months of his term.”

“The fellowship requires him to be in Massachusetts, meaning Ellison has already stepped back from the Business, Housing, and Zoning Committee and the Public Health and Safety Committee.”

Minneapolis city council members like Ellison are given a salary of close to $110,000.

Ellison was first elected in 2017, representing North Minneapolis.

“Council Member LaTrisha Vetaw, the only other member representing the North Side, blasted the move, calling it unacceptable that her constituents will now have “zero” representation in the city’s most consequential committees.”

Ellison argues he can attend virtually the city’s year-end budget vote.

“Minneapolis rules do not allow council members to vote remotely, raising questions about how effective his virtual participation will be.”

“Council President Elliott Payne admitted that the arrangement was largely made on the advice of the city clerk and said the full council will revisit the issue in the coming weeks.”

Some other members are already calling for Ellison’s seat to be filled.

A council member named Jamal Osman is calling for a replacement during the transition.

“Concerns about the arrangement have been dismissed by Ellison, who told KSTP-TV that he “will be present for most full city council meetings,” and that nothing remarkable is actually happening.”

Fortunately for his city, Ellison will not be running for reelection.

His father is previously known for his pro Antifa and support of CAIR, the Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated group.

Trump judges blast peers for letting California impose ‘state-sanctioned groupthink’ in medicine

The federal government’s refusal to register a supposedly offensive trademark for the Asian-American rock band The Slants prompted the Supreme Court to issue a sweeping precedent that protected First Amendment rights from the government-speech doctrine.

Now eight years later, that ruling is center stage again as the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals extended the doctrine that steamrolls individual speech under the banner of government speech to validate California medical training. And some dissenting judges nominated by President Donald Trump on that court are raising deep concerns.

A majority of the full appeals court, whose jurisdiction stretches from the Pacific to the Rockies, refused to rehear a challenge to California’s imposition of “implicit bias” training in continuing medical education, which doctors must receive to keep their licenses, leaving intact a three-judge panel’s ruling that deemed the private courses to be government speech.

The 9th Circuit has become less liberal with Trump’s 11 nominees but Democrat nominees still dominate the largest federal appeals court, which has 29 active judges. The rehearing denial doesn’t specify the vote count.

“A proper analysis—as prescribed by the Supreme Court, our own court’s prior cases, and our sister circuits—reveals that California’s prior CME regulations did not meaningfully express or shape messages through CME courses” before the Golden State made implicit-bias training a statutory requirement in 2019, the first dissent from refusal to rehear said.

Physicians in CME courses would also be “unlikely to perceive the instructor’s message as the government’s” and the Medical Board of California’s “regulations otherwise exert very little control over CME instructors’ messages,” Judge Lawrence VanDyke wrote.

He was joined by Judges Patrick Bumatay and Eric Tung, the latter only confirmed in November.

The Trump appointees blasted the “improperly anemic governmental speech analysis” by the panel, which relied on the “mere scope of California’s regulatory scheme” to conclude that “CME attendees perceive instructors as relaying the government’s views,” at odds with the “well-pleaded allegations” of the challengers.

Tung also wrote a dissent, joined by VanDyke and Bumatay, that scolded the panel for rebranding private instructors as government agents and sidestepping the scientific debate over the validity of implicit bias, which the California law asserts with no evidence is responsible for healthcare “outcome disparities” by race and sex.

Leftist Nonprofit Cashed in at Taxpayers’ Expense in the Waning Days of the Biden Administration

One of the things that President Donald Trump is focused on in his second term is eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse within the federal government. Elon Musk and DOGE went a long way to revealing just how large the scope of ridiculous things Americans’ tax dollars were being spent on. Currently, in Minnesota, even more fraud and squandering of tax dollars is being revealed. But now we are learning more about how little regard the Biden administration had for hard-working Americans’ tax dollars, and where that money went in the year before Donald Trump returned to the White House.

The Tides Center is a social justice fiscal sponsor of and is associated with the Tides Foundation. In 2024, tax records show that the Tides Center received a total of $37,810,397 of taxpayer money. It is the largest amount of government funding in a decade (up from $13,030,345 in 2014). The money came largely in the form of government grants, and because it was doled out during the Biden administration, you can guess the left-wing causes it went to.

During Joe Biden’s last year in office, the Tides Center gave money to groups that worked on issues like expanding access to abortion, affirmative action, and helping illegal immigrants get out of detention facilities. They have also lent a fiscal hand to a group called the “Anti-Police Terror Project,” and provided information on sex-change procedures. However, a big chunk of those taxpayer dollars, $21.9 million, went to the Tides Foundation, and something called Tides Advocacy, which describes itself as a 501(c)(4) “social welfare organization.” Tides Advocacy claims its mission is to provide:

“fiscal sponsorship and essential services, including financial, legal and personnel services, to nonprofit organizations that promote shared prosperity and social justice.”

They also claim to manage roughly “140 projects and activities.” 

So, what other areas of “social justice” has the Tides Center felt it important to donate funds to in 2024? There was the $25,000 donated to the Alliance for Global Justice (AFGJ). In 2021, Discover Card cut ties with the AFGJ after it was learned that they had ties to a Marxist terrorist group called the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). AFGJ also fiscally sponsored a pro-Iran activist whom the Treasury Department sanctioned in October of 2024 for fundraising for PFLP terrorists.

Judge Who Helped Illegal Migrant Escape ICE Resigns

A Wisconsin judge who helped an illegal alien escape from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials announced she would be resigning from her position in response to “unprecedented federal legal proceedings” brought against her.

Matt Smith, the political director with WISN 12 News, shared a letter addressed to Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) from Milwaukee Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan on X. In her letter, Dugan expressed that the citizens of Wisconsin “deserve to start the year with a judge on the bench in Milwaukee County Branch 31.”

“As you know, I am the subject of unprecedented federal legal proceedings, which are far from concluded but which present immense and complex challenges that threaten the independence of our judiciary,” Dugan said. “I am pursuing this fight for myself and for our independent judiciary. However, the Wisconsin citizens that I cherish deserve to start the year with a judge on the bench in Milwaukee County Branch 31 rather than have the fate of that Court rest in a partisan fight in the state legislature.”

Dugan continued on to state that it was “with a heavy heart” that she was submitting “this letter of resignation.”

“My faith in God and in our legal system leads me to trust that in the long run justice will be served for our independent judiciary and for me,” Dugan added.

Maine Democrat Gov. Janet Mills’ Administration Gave No-Bid State Contracts to Somali NGO That Allegedly “Registered Migrants to Vote” — Organization Later Caught in Medicaid Fraud Scandal

The walls are closing in on Maine’s migrant-industrial complex — and the trail leads straight back to Democrat Governor Janet Mills and her administration.

According to reporting from The Maine Wire, dozens of federal agents with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) swarmed multiple locations in Lewiston this week tied to Somali-run nonprofits, Medicaid billing operations, and political operatives with deep connections to Maine Democrats.

HSI confirmed it is “actively conducting audits of businesses in Maine to protect America from fraud & ensure businesses only employ legal workers,” adding that hiring unauthorized workers “undermines national security.”

Trump SBA SUSPENDS Nearly 7,000 Minnesota Borrowers Amid Suspected PPP and EIDL Fraud

The Trump administration’s Small Business Administration announced Thursday that it has suspended 6,900 Minnesota borrowers after uncovering a widespread suspected fraud tied to COVID-19 relief programs.

According to the agency, an internal review of Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) approvals in Minnesota revealed nearly $400 million in potentially fraudulent loans—money that was supposed to keep small businesses afloat and American workers employed during the pandemic.

SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler said the agency reviewed thousands of pandemic-era loans approved in Minnesota and identified 7,900 PPP and EIDL loans connected to the suspended borrowers.

In a blunt statement posted to X, Loeffler laid out the scope of the action:

“Over the last week, SBA has reviewed thousands of potentially fraudulent pandemic-era PPP and EIDL loans approved in Minnesota.

Today, our agency took action to suspend 6,900 Minnesota borrowers amid suspected fraudulent activity. In total, these borrowers were approved for 7,900 PPP and EIDL loans worth approximately $400M.

These individuals will be banned from all SBA loan programs, including disaster loans, going forward. We will also refer every case, where appropriate, to federal law enforcement for prosecution and repayment.

After years, the American people will finally begin to see the criminals who stole from law-abiding taxpayers held accountable – and this is just the first state.”
