BEYOND PARODY: Craigslist Ad From a Daycare Center in Minneapolis Seeks to Hire 20 Child Actors

This is just too funny to be real. A post on Craigslist in the city of Minneapolis is supposedly from a daycare center that is looking to hire up to twenty child actors.

Since anyone can post something on the marketplace/message board website, it could be from anyone, but given the intellect of the Minneapolis fraudsters we have seen in recent weeks, it may very well be real.

In their defense, they are at least offering good money for the actors they seek to hire.

PJ Media reported:

Is a Minneapolis ‘Daycare’ Trying to Hire Child Actors on Craigslist?

Either a Minneapolis fake daycare is actually trying to hire child actors to restart taxpayer funding or someone is playing a truly extraordinary practical joke on Craigslist users.

A listing posted several days ago on Craigslist from “Help Us Daycare” actually advertises a desire to hire “child actors for 3 day contract (Ventura Village).”. The listing claims the daycare lost state funding due to “white supremacy” and asserts that it needs to hire 20 child actors for a few days to show up to the fake daycare because the “ENTIRE client base has already found new daycare services.” So when the state investigators arrive, the listing explains, kids need to be on site. The listing seems too insane to be sincere. On the other hand, when you consider the craziness uncovered in the Minnesota Somali daycare fraud investigation, perhaps this entry warrants a little government scrutiny…

The Craigslist listing rambles, “Due to this insane poor decision clear in white supremacy, we had to close our doors immediately. We must prove we are a function day care to get the funding back. The issue is, the ENTIRE client base has already found new daycare services so we need to find new clients base quickly.” I would feel more confidence in the alleged functionality of the daycare if the person composing this could actually write English.

The crazy listing continues, “To help hurry this state vetting processes, we are looking to hire 20 child actors for 3 days, while state is present on site. We pay up to $1500 actor, per day. If you are interest, please send your child’s age and a note of what makes your child a special actor. Submit phone number as well, as we will be doing quick phone interviews as part of hire process.” The tone is certainly rather desperate.

Mary Moriarty threatens prosecutions over ‘hateful’ messages to Somali community

Amid national attention on fraud in Minnesota, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty has warned that people who send “hateful” messages to the Somali community could face prosecution.

Meanwhile, it was recently revealed that a Somali national who pleaded guilty in two separate sexual assault cases avoided prison under a plea deal negotiated by Moriarty’s office.

Last year, Abdimahat Mohamed received a three-year prison sentence that was stayed and served no time in prison after pleading guilty in two separate sexual assault cases — one involving the rape of a 15-year-old girl in 2017 and another involving an adult woman in 2024.

In both cases, the most serious criminal sexual conduct charges were dropped. Moriarty’s office defended the plea deal after national attention followed, saying it had lost key witnesses and that the case was “substantially weakened.”

According to a later FBI affidavit tied to federal kidnapping charges, Moriarty’s office also agreed not to charge Mohamed for a third sexual assault from 2018 as part of the plea agreement.

Now, Moriarty has issued a public statement warning that her office is receiving “a large number of reports” of members of the Somali community being sent “hateful, threatening, and disturbing messages.”

The statement blamed “far-right propagandists” for “demonizing an entire group of people” and urged the public to report such messages to law enforcement so cases could be reviewed for prosecution.

Moriarty’s statement included contact information for advocacy organizations and pledged the office would “do everything in our power to keep each other safe.”

HHS: Biden-Era Loophole “Invited Abuse,” Funneled Billions to Childcare Centers Without Verifying Attendance

President Donald Trump’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced on Monday that it is closing a Biden-era loophole that required states to pay childcare centers before verifying attendance. 

The department is initiating the change as fallout from allegations of widespread fraud at Minnesota Somali-run daycare centers continues. According to HHS, the Biden administration’s rule required states to base payments to childcare centers on enrollment instead of verified attendance, and payment was provided in advance of services. 

“Paying providers upfront based on paper enrollment instead of actual attendance invites abuse,” HHS Deputy Secretary Jim O’Neill said in a statement. “In Minnesota, we’ve seen credible and widespread allegations of fraudulent daycare providers who were not caring for children at all. The reforms we are enacting will make fraud harder to perpetrate.”

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.

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.”

5 States Cut SNAP Benefits for Unhealthy Food as Part of ‘MAHA’ Agenda

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), otherwise known as food stamps, has begun enforcing new healthy standards for recipients in five states as part of the Trump administration’s “Make America Healthy Again” agenda.

Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, Utah, and West Virginia have cut SNAP benefits off for soda, candy, and other junk foods as the first wave of at least 18 states that are transitioning to stricter standards for what can be purchased using food stamps, the Daily Nonpareil reported.

The move has been championed by Health Sec. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Agriculture Sec. Brooke Rollins.

“Thank you to the 18 governors who are leading the charge on SNAP reform to restore the health of Americans—especially our kids. Their courageous leadership is exactly what we need to Make America Healthy Again,” Kennedy said in December. “We cannot continue a system that forces taxpayers to fund programs that make people sick and then pay a second time to treat the illnesses those very programs help create.”

“President Trump has made it clear: we are restoring SNAP to its true purpose – nutrition,” added Rollins. “Under the MAHA initiative, we are taking bold, historic steps to reverse the chronic diseases epidemic that has taken root in this country for far too long.”

As the Daily Mail detailed, “Indiana is targeting soft drinks and candy, Utah and West Virginia will block SNAP purchases of soda and soft drinks, and Nebraska will ban soda and energy drinks.”

The state of Iowa has gone the furthest with the new standards, restricting SNAP for taxable foods including soda, candy, and some prepared items.

“This isn’t the usual top-down, one-size-fits-all public health agenda,” Indiana Gov. Mike Braun said in December. “We’re focused on root causes … and taking on the problems in government programs that are contributing to making our communities less healthy.”

Washington State AG Warns Citizen Journalists to Stop Investigating Somali Daycares or Face Potential Hate Crime Charges

The Washington state attorney general released a statement on X Tuesday evening warning independent journalists to stop investigating fraudulent Somali daycare centers or they could be charged with a hate crime.

“My office has received outreach from members of the Somali community after reports of home-based daycare providers being harassed and accused of fraud with little to no fact-checking,” State AG Nick Brown stated. “We are in touch with the state Department of Children, Youth, and Families regarding the claims being pushed online and the harassment reported by daycare providers. Showing up on someone’s porch, threatening, or harassing them isn’t an investigation. Neither is filming minors who may be in the home. This is unsafe and potentially dangerous behavior.”

Harmeet Dhillon, the Assistant Attorney General for Civil rights, issued a warning of her own in reaction to the Washington state AG’s post.

“ANY state official who chills or threatens to chill a journalist’s 1A rights will have some ‘splainin to do,” she wrote on X, Wednesday morning. “[The DOJ Civil Rights Division] takes potential violations of 18 USC § 242 seriously!” Dhillon added.

This statute, known as the Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law, makes it a crime for any person acting under the pretense of law to willfully deprive another individual of rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution or laws of the United States.

The clash of the AGs came after Youtuber Nick Shirley exposed about a dozen Somali-owned, state-funded childcare facilities in Minneapolis, Minnesota, that appeared to be completely deserted.

Shirley produced a 42-minute video, which has been viewed over 131 million times on X since it was posted on December 26,  alleging that Minnesota governor Tim Walz (D.) “knew about the fraud but never reported it.”

Inspired by Shirley’s bombshell report, citizen journalists in multiple states with large Somali populations have launched their own investigations in recent days.

In the Kent, Washington area Tuesday, YouTuber Chris Sims, a self-described “gonzo journalist,” visited seven suspicious Somali childcare sites and reported that they were “very unhappy” to see him.

Sims posted a video of him approaching a private home listed as a childcare facility that appeared to be not as advertised.

“There was no sign of kids or being a Daycare facility,” Sims wrote. “I was told by a few they weren’t Daycares despite receiving tax payer dollars. One yelled ‘Call the police’ behind the door.”

Somalia’s UN Ambassador, Who Previously Oversaw Adult Medicaid, Also Served as CEO at a Company Reportedly Placed on a Federal Fraud Exclusion List and Banned from Receiving Medicaid Funds

While Ohio taxpayers are being told to accept daycare fraud as merely “the cost of doing business,” a stunning new report has surfaced that raises serious questions about who has been operating inside the state’s taxpayer-funded welfare ecosystem and how far those connections now extend onto the global stage.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, RINO Ohio Governor Mike DeWine’s office has brushed off mounting concerns over potential large-scale fraud in taxpayer-funded daycare centers—particularly in Columbus, home to the second-largest Somali population in the United States—as merely “the cost of doing business,” even after two independent journalists uncovered disturbing evidence of potential ghost daycare operations in Columbus, Ohio.

Speaking to the Columbus Dispatch, DeWine spokesman Dan Tierney openly acknowledged that daycare fraud has been “known to the state for decades,” suggesting that outrage from taxpayers is simply the product of naivety.

“If people are out there who could not contemplate that people were trying to defraud the public through day care centers, I understand it’s new to them … but it’s been known to the state for decades,” Tierney said. “So therefore, we have robust anti-fraud measures to try and stop this, this is something that is unfortunately the cost of doing business.”

A new bombshell report now reveals that Somalia’s sitting ambassador to the United Nations once worked inside Ohio’s Medicaid bureaucracy, and later ran or represented a healthcare company reportedly placed on a federal fraud exclusion list.

Abukar Dahir Osman, often referred to by the nickname “Baale,” currently serves as Somalia’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, a post he has held since 2017.

As of this month, Osman holds one of the most powerful rotating positions in global diplomacy: President of the UN Security Council.

In that role, he:

  • Oversees Security Council meetings
  • Sets the Council’s agenda
  • Manages resolutions and presidential statements
  • Speaks for the A3+ bloc (African nations plus Caribbean representation) on issues like Afghanistan and Yemen

But before assuming global authority in New York, Osman spent years embedded inside Ohio’s public welfare system.

Osman relocated to the United States in the late 1980s and built his career in Ohio’s taxpayer-funded social services apparatus.

From 1999 to 2012, he worked at the Franklin County Department of Job and Family Services, serving as:

  • Case Manager
  • Social Program Specialist

Osman was also a supervisor for the Medicaid office in Franklin County, Ohio, from 2007 to 2012.

Mr. Osman also founded Beacon Educational Services, according to his profile on the UN.  He served as a consultant for the organization from 2007 to 2010.

The most alarming revelation involves Progressive Health Care Services Inc., an Ohio-based home healthcare company linked to Osman.
