James Comer Says Massive Fraud Uncovered in Minnesota is Just the ‘Tip of the Iceberg’ – Will Look at Other States

Congressman James Comer of Kentucky is the chair of the House Oversight Committee. During a recent appearance on FOX News, Comer described the massive fraud uncovered in Minnesota as just the ‘tip of the iceberg.’

Comer indicated that other blue states will be investigated for similar problems.

This is likely the reason why so many blue states have been so reluctant to turn over their SNAP data to Trump Agriculture Secretary Brook Rollins. They know that any examination of this data is likely to uncover huge amounts of fraud and abuse.

If things were this bad in Minnesota, just imagine what’s going on in places like California and New York.

Partial transcript via NewsBusters:

The massive fraud being exposed in Minnesota is just “the tip of the iceberg,” when it comes to social program scams in states run by Democrat governors, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) said Wednesday.

Democrat governors like Minnesota’s Tim Walz insist on pouring tax money into social programs where fraud is pervasive – even when they’re alerted to the fraud by whistleblowers, Comer said in an interview with Fox News:

“The fraud entailed a whole menu of government programs – social programs. And that’s the kind of the mojo for the Democrat Party now: they want to sink more and more money into social programs, but yet they refuse to accept responsibility for any type of waste, fraud and abuse.”…

“This is the tip of the iceberg and I think this investigation could lead to many more investigations in other states and, hopefully finally, some savings of taxpayer dollars.”

What Rep. Ilhan Omar Likely Knew of the $1 Billion Welfare Fraud in Minnesota

The massive $1 billion in welfare fraud in Minnesota is causing many to ask what Democrat Representative Ilhan Omar knew and when she knew it about the fraud committed right under her nose by the Somali community in Minnesota.

Reports say that Omar has many close ties to organizations, businesses, and individuals named in the various cases that have uncovered massive fraud of Minnesota’s overly generous welfare schemes, cases that total up to more than a billion dollars in stolen taxpayer money.

For example, Omar has held events and parties at the Minneapolis eatery named Safari Restaurant, an establishment that has been named in some of the investigations looking into the fraud. The owners of this restaurant, Salim Said and Aimee Bock, have already been convicted in the Feeding Our Future case that defrauded $250 million from the state in child food aid.

Omar was reportedly very close to these business owners. The congresswoman held her 2018 congressional victory party at the restaurant with the full participation of its owners and introduced the bill that led to the fraud that enriched them, yet Omar has claimed to know nothing about any of it, Chadwick Moore reported for the New York Post.

Said was found guilty in August of ripping off the state for $12 million in funds that were supposed to be earmarked to feed needy children. The money was stolen from the 2020 MEALS Act, which Omar introduced and saw passed with bipartisan support.

Indeed, Omar was seen on a video recorded in that very restaurant as she touted the program.

That isn’t all. One of Omar’s own campaign officials has also pleaded guilty in one of these cases.

Omar campaign official Guhaad Hashi Said, who is also a Democrat activist, pleaded guilty to running a fake food aid organization called Advance Youth Athletic Development. He claimed to have helped feed 5,000 children with the organization and pulled in $3.2 million in fraudulently awarded funding.

Said worked for Omar from 2018 to 2020 and one of his duties was to turn out the vote in the Somali community. He was a constant presence around Omar throughout that time.

Omar also received donations from several of those involved in these cases. In 2022, she returned $7,400 in direct donations from these convicted fraudsters.

Yet, she maintains she knew nothing, saw nothing, and had no part in the fraud.

Indeed, Omar recently sponsored an op ed in the New York Times published under her name and insisting that Trump’s focus on the massive theft of tax dollars by Minnesota’s Somali community is just “bigotry.”

Ireland’s Globalist Deputy Prime Minister Finally Admits Mass Migration Exacerbating Housing Crisis

Ireland’s deeply entrenched political establishment is facing uncomfortable questions after Deputy Prime Minister Simon Harris finally admitted what ordinary citizens have been saying for years: mass migration has exacerbated—and continues to exacerbate— the country’s housing crisis.

His comments, genuine or not, mark a sharp departure from the government’s usual attempts to downplay the crisis.

Harris, a member of the globalist Fine Gael party, told reporters in Dublin that a growing population and a relentless stream of migration “correlates” with mounting pressure on limited housing stock. For most ordinary Irish citizens, this was merely an acknowledgment of what’s been obvious to them for many years.

Again, stating the obvious, he warned that Ireland risks damaging “social cohesion” if it continues importing more people than the system can sustain. Citizens struggling to find shelter naturally see these remarks as long overdue.

For years, the ruling globalist coalition argued that migration played only a minor role in the housing crisis, if any at all. Housing Minister James Browne claimed last autumn that it accounted for only a “small part” of the problem.

That phony narrative is collapsing as rent costs soar, homelessness climbs, and thousands of newly arrived, unvetted migrants are placed in hotels and in homes while Irish families remain on waiting lists. As is the case so often these days, the lived experience of voters contradicts official talking points.

Harris felt as if had to qualify his statements by insisting he was not endorsing anti-immigration arguments, but he noted that even he could not ignore the blatantly obvious strain on housing and public services. His attempt at nuance, however, did little to calm a public exhausted by spiraling costs.

He argued that Ireland’s deeper issue is the government’s inability to build infrastructure despite a booming economy. Many see this as an indictment of a political class long distracted by global agendas rather than national priorities.

Ireland has the money for expansionary budgets, according to Harris, but somehow cannot provide basic necessities like water systems, energy capacity, and housing. For citizens on decade-long waiting lists, this contradiction feels like a betrayal.

He said the “centre” must deliver faster to preserve public trust. But critics argue the so-called “centre” has long lost credibility the moment it embraced never-ending mass migration without planning for—or having any regard for—its consequences.

Germany’s Globalist Regime Has Spent $14.2 Billion on ‘Asylum-Seeking Minors’ Since 2015

In what critics on the populist right and left decry as a profound betrayal of its working and middle-class citizens, Germany’s globalist governments have been revealed to have shelled out billions of dollars into supporting welfare-dependent asylum seekers and illegal migrants, even as everyday Germans grapple with skyrocketing living costs, crumbling infrastructure, and eroding public services.

Newly released figures, reported by German portal NIUS, underscore the scale of the expenditure. Since 2015—the start of a decade marked by large-scale migration to Europe and Germany from the Middle East and Africa—unaccompanied minor asylum seekers have cost German taxpayers at least €12.2 billion ($14.2 billion).

Nationalist-conservative lawmakers warn that the astonishing figure is likely an undercount, with several federal states withholding or providing incomplete data, hindering full transparency and oversight.

Over the past decade, nearly 190,000 such ‘minors’ have been registered, with their care proving far costlier than for adults due to specialized needs like housing, medical services, language courses, education, and youth welfare. In some regions, annual costs per minor soar to nearly €100,000 ($116,000), while even conservative estimates hover above €80,000 ($93,000)—figures that have stunned taxpayers witnessing cuts social programs that benefit actual citizens.

“This isn’t just about numbers; it’s about priorities,” said one opposition lawmaker, who spoke on condition of anonymity. “While pensioners and low-income families see their safety nets fray, the government has essentially created a lavish parallel welfare system for newcomers, leaving many Germans feeling abandoned.”

The bulk of these unaccompanied minors are teenage boys from places like Afghanistan, Syria, and Iraq, comprising over 85% of arrivals in certain states.

Compounding the financial strain is chain migration, where recognized minors can sponsor family members, extending costs well beyond initial outlays. State youth offices have expanded into vast networks reliant on ongoing migrant inflows, sustaining taxpayer-funded jobs in sectors tied to migration management.

AfD lawmaker René Springer blasted the situation, arguing that the government’s failure to provide complete figures on unaccompanied minor arrivals is “nothing short of a scandal.” He said taxpayers deserve full transparency, especially when more than €12 billion has already been spent.

Springer also pointed to the unusually high number of minors claiming birthdays on January 1st or December 31st, calling it a pattern that “naturally raises questions about intentional misrepresentation.”

Germany: Over 1,100 teachers sign explosive letter stating many schoolchildren cannot tie their shoes or use toilet paper anymore

More than 1,000 teachers in the German state of Hesse have called for comprehensive changes in an incendiary letter, which has been delivered to the state’s Ministry of Culture. In the letter, they state that many elementary school children are not able to complete simple tasks such as tying their shoes or use toilet paper.

“Keeping order, recognizing and adhering to rules, using the toilet independently,“ are all listed as tasks students cannot do in the new resolution, which includes using toilet paper themselves.

Students can also no longer “cut, glue, sit (upright), or tie their shoes,“ the report reads, which was reported widely in the German media, including Welt.

Citing the letter, Junge Freiheit also reports that “independent personal hygiene is not always a given – colleagues even reported students who did not know how to use toilet paper.”

The letter also states that the children feature serious attention deficits, with the teachers writing: “Many children are no longer able to listen or follow instructions for long periods of time.”

The damning letter comes at a time when Hesse is experiencing unprecedented mass immigration, including into its school system. Already in 2022, the Ministry of Social Affairs and Integration reported that an estimated 50 percent of all children under the age of 6 were foreigners or had a foreign background. In the last three years since the report, many of these children have entered the elementary school system.

Teachers also report in the letter that they need to spend an enormous amount of time teaching children simple skills, many that were once taken for granted.

What’s happening in MN? Now, a Somali-run election scam is BREAKING on local news…

Something is very wrong in Minnesota. First it was the massive welfare/medicare scam where organized networks siphoned tens of millions of taxpayer dollars through loopholes that never should have existed. Then came the reports that “retarded” Governor Tim Walz allegedly knew far more than he ever admitted and that whistleblowers were shut down instead of heard.

President Trump has been hammering Walz for a while now, and rightfully so. Walz’s response was to blame Trump for the fraud in his state.

Owen Gregorian:

Tim Walz blames Trump for Somali fraud in Minnesota, complains about being called ‘seriously retarded’ | Hayden Cunningham, The Post Millenial

On Saturday, the Minnesota Department of Human Services Employees accused Walz of being “100% responsible for massive fraud” in the state.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz responded to President Donald Trump’s recent criticism of his handling of crimes committed by immigrants in the state, expressing outrage after Trump referred to him as “retarded.”

Trump, in a lengthy Thanksgiving post on Truth Social, commented on multiple issues involving immigration. He claimed an immigrant earning $30,000 with a green card would receive “roughly $50,000 in yearly benefits for their family,” calling the “refugee burden” the leading cause of social dysfunction in America. He highlighted Minnesota, which has received a heavy influx of Somali refugees, describing Somali gangs as “roving the streets looking for ‘prey’ as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone.”

“The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both,” Trump wrote.

On NBC’s Meet the Press with Kristen Welker, Walz criticized the president’s language, calling the term “damaging” and accusing Trump of “normalizing hateful behavior” and trying to “distract from his incompetency.”

“We cannot allow this to be normalized,” Walz said. “You can use that language, but you shouldn’t.”

Walz, who has previously commented about hoping to hear news one day that Trump had died, accused the president of having “demonized” the Somali community. He also said Trump’s use of the word “retarded” was an effort to “demonize our children.”

The exchange comes as numerous reports have highlighted widespread fraud in Minnesota involving Somali-run organizations. The Trump administration announced last month that 44 percent of immigrants in Minneapolis were committing immigration fraud, and billions in taxpayer dollars have reportedly been stolen during Walz’s administration by members of the Somali community. Last weekend, Trump announced he would end Temporary Protected Status for Somalis in Minnesota, calling the state a “hub of fraudulent money laundering activity.”

Concerns over fraud have also been raised by state employees. On Saturday, the Minnesota Department of Human Services Employees account on X, representing more than 480 department staff members, accused Walz of being “100% responsible for massive fraud” in the state.

“We let Tim Walz know of fraud early on, hoping for a partnership in stopping fraud but no, we got the opposite response. Tim Walz systematically retaliated against whistleblowers using monitoring, threats, repression, and did his best to discredit fraud reports,” the group said. “In addition to retaliating against whistleblower[s], Tim Walz disempowered the Office of the Legislative Auditor, allowing agencies to disregard their audit findings and guidance.”

Is Ireland About to Erupt Into a Civil War Over ‘Illegal Immigration’?

Official details surrounding the alleged rape of a 10-year-old Irish girl by a 26-year-old “asylum seeker” are murky due to a system that protects not only the victim, but also the alleged predator.

As the Irish Times reports, police “have been unable to speak to a 10-year-old girl, who was allegedly sexually assaulted in west Dublin last month, ‘due to medical advice,’ a court has heard.”

On top of that, the alleged perpetrator in the case “cannot be identified due to the nature of the charge.” The unidentified man is accused of sexual assault of the girl on Oct. 20, 2025, “after the girl went missing from care.” 

It has been reported that the young girl was under the care of Tusla, Ireland’s Child and Family Agency. She had gone missing during a supervised field trip to the city center before the assault occurred somewhere near the Citywest Hotel in Dublin, one of the facilities used to house asylum seekers.

Most of the details in the case that have been officially revealed are procedural ones, like court dates, sanity tests for the accused, and physical and mental health assessments for the victim. 

The public reaction to the rape, however, provides a little more context, given that the Irish citizenry is reacting to what they know even if authorities aren’t releasing confirmed details. 

Within 48 hours of the crime and for several nights, violent protests flared up around the City West Hotel, which is a large former hotel that has been transformed into a migrant center housing 2,000 illegal migrants. 

Fox News reported that the perpetrator is “an illegal migrant — who had deportation orders standing against him — is accused of attacking the girl.” According to that report, police said their officers who responded to the situation were attacked as “they tried to cordon off the building” and protect the migrants inside. Roughly 300 officers responded. 

Protesters waved green, white, and orange Irish national flags. Some chanted, “Get them out, get them out,” which Fox News reported was centered on the shelter’s residents. The protesters threw empty glass bottles and bricks. They discharged fireworks. They pointed lasers into the cockpit of a police helicopter. And two protesters on horseback tried to breach the police line. 

The local police commissioner, Justin Kelly, apparently unaware that the American media redefined what a “peaceful protest” is during the Black Lives Matter unrest in America in 2020, said, “This was obviously not a peaceful protest…The actions this evening can only be described as thuggery. This was a mob intent on violence against Gardaí (Irish police).” 

The Irish news media has reported that the suspect in the rape case arrived in Ireland six years ago from Africa. He failed his application to the European Union (EU) for international protection in 2024 and was ordered to be deported in March. 

Against this backdrop, a group calling itself the “New Republican Movement” has popped up with a foreboding video it posted online, calling out those in power in Ireland who they accuse of facilitating mass immigration and indoctrination of children in schools.

Pro-Migration Activist: Democrats’ Welcome for Migrants Requires Cruelty

Pro-migration Democrats must be cruel to many more future migrants if they want to avoid another migration crisis that allowed the election of President Donald Trump, says a pro-migration professor at George Mason University.

“We might decide to let in more migrants, but still we will end up being cruel to the would-be migrants” who don’t quite reach the criteria for being allowed into the United States, Tyler Cowen wrote in an article for The Free Press.  “And as demand to migrate continues to rise, we have to be increasingly coercive over time.”

The article was headlined “Why ‘Humane’ Immigration Policy Ends in Cruelty.”

Cowen outlined the strategic problem the Democratic Party faces:

The dilemma: Due to the ever-rising numbers of migration to the United States, the [politically vital] enforcement of immigration restrictions has to become more oppressive and more unpleasant as time passes. The alternative course, which is equally unpleasant, is that [uncontrolled] immigration increases to levels that voters find unacceptable, and we fall under the rule of anti-immigrant parties—which are illiberal on many other issues as well.

The news gets worse. The more pro-immigration you are and the more you allow some foreigners to enter this country, the more others on the outside will wish to come too. Unless you are going to open the border entirely (not a good idea), you will end up having to impose increasingly harsh measures on illegal arrivals, and tougher and tougher restrictions on potentially legal applicants. The liberals in essence become the illiberals.

“There are … few ways to keep people out that do not involve the extensive presence of coercive police, border arrests, imprisonment, and other unpleasant measures,” he wrote. “We have to be increasingly coercive over time,” said Cowen.

That tail-wagging-the-dog process played out during President Joe Biden’s four years, when his progressive deputies invented reasons to welcome roughly 15 million migrants — including 10 million “inadmissible” southern migrants — despite rising public opposition.

Yet Biden’s progressive deputies refused anything more than token security measures at the border and instead opened up many more quasi-legal and legal pathways for diverse migrants to settle in American communities, drive down wages, and inflate housing prices. For example, Biden’s pro-migration border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas, repeatedly cited Canada as the example he wanted to follow.  “We look to the north, with Canada,” Mayorkas said in September 20024, adding:

Canada takes a look at its market needs, and it says, “You know what? We need 700,000 foreign workers to address our labor needs domestically.” And, so, they build a visa system for that year to address the current market condition. And they say, “We’re going to bring in a million people.” And it’s market sensitive.

That process killed many thousands of migrants, ensured criminal and sexual attacks on many more migrants, including younger migrants. It also helped to re-elect Donald Trump in 2024.

New Republican Movement to Irish politicians: “We will not sit back any longer and watch our culture and religion destroyed by the people we put in power”

A group calling itself the New Republican Movement has emerged in Ireland, appearing in a video posted on social media on 28 November 2025, threatening elected representatives in the Newry, Mourne and Down area.

The video features three masked men, one of whom appears to hold a handgun, reading a statement that labels local politicians as “legitimate targets” due to their policies on immigration and alleged “sexual indoctrination” of children in schools.

The group says it is protecting Irish culture and religion from a migrant invasion and traitors in power.

Earlier today, Liz Churchill posted the video below on Twitter (now X) with the comment: “It was only a matter of time … The New Republican Movement of Ireland has put a target on anyone ruining the lives of the Irish and who compromise the safety of women and children.”

The statement in the video read:

To the people of Newry, Mourne and Down, we, the New Republican Movement, have watched their councillors, MLAs, over the past 12 months. The level of disrespect shown to the people who put you into power. This cannot be ignored any longer. We are proud men of Ireland. We are patriots. Your policies and decision-making regards to flooding our communities with undocumented, military-aged men is not acceptable.

We will not sit back any longer and watch our culture and religion destroyed by the people we put in power. Also, the sexual indoctrination of our children, schools, has not gone unnoticed either. The New Republican Movement will take immediate action against anyone who threatens our ways of life and the safety of our women and children.

We have your addresses, know your movements; every one of you are legitimate targets as of today. The New Republican Movement, 28/11/25.

NY Times Admits Somalis Are ‘Raised in a Culture of Stealing’ Following Massive Welfare Fraud in Minnesota

Even the far-left New York Times has admitted that Somalians are raised in a culture of widespread theft and graft in their country as the news of massive welfare fraud among the Somali community in Democrat Gov. Tim Walz’s Minnesota grows.

The paper’s opening line for its Nov. 29 article gets straight to the point, reading, “The fraud scandal that rattled Minnesota was staggering in its scale and brazenness.”

There have been an astounding series of cases of hundreds of millions of dollars in fraud in state welfare, housing, healthcare, food, COVID relief and other programs, much of it centered on members of the Somali community.

The fraud has been so endemic in Minnesota that even the usually far-left Times is joining Breitbart News and calling it out. Indeed, the paper even noted that early on many liberals waved off the fraud as a “one-off abuse,” but as each new case rolled out from federal prosecutors the sense of alarm has grown and the blame is undeniable.

“Over the last five years, law enforcement officials say, fraud took root in pockets of Minnesota’s Somali diaspora as scores of individuals made small fortunes by setting up companies that billed state agencies for millions of dollars’ worth of social services that were never provided,” the Times reported.

The paper does not spare exposure of the Somali community.

Macalester College professor Ahmed Samatar, a Somali native, said that the fraud among Minnesota’s Somali migrants should not be surprising. The Times added that “Somali refugees who came to the United States after their country’s civil war were raised in a culture in which stealing from the country’s dysfunctional and corrupt government was widespread.”

The fraud has been so deep that it has undermined all of the state’s welfare programs.

“No one will support these programs if they continue to be riddled with fraud,” federal prosecutor Joseph H. Thompson told the media. “We’re losing our way of life in Minnesota in a very real way.”

One of the first such cases centered around an organization called “Feeding Our Future,” run by a group of Minneapolis-area Somali migrants. Prosecutors say that the organizers bilked $250 million from the state in child food assistance funding.

In a different case, tens of millions were stolen from Minnesota’s autism treatment program, again by Somali migrants. There is also the case of more than $550 million stolen from the state’s coronavirus pandemic relief program.
