Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) Director Dr. Mehmet Oz and Deputy Director for Health and Human Services, Jim O’Neill, just released a stunning video from Minnesota. They discuss a former linen factory that was transformed into 400 Medicaid businesses that generated almost $380 million in billing to CMS.
It doesn’t make sense. One industrial building housing almost 400 individual Medicaid businesses that cost taxpayers $380 million in payments for services that are now under investigation. It is almost guaranteed these complex houses fraudulent fake businesses. Director Oz dropped the video on his X account.
You’d never believe the kinds of fraud schemes happening in Minnesota. @HHS_Jim and I were taken aback to say the least.

“Why did no one in the state figure out this was a concern? Perplexingly to me, in a place of this nature, an industrial complex that people would not come to for child care or autism care or transportation support, how is it possible this could come up like an abscess in the heart of Minneapolis and nobody was watching?!”
“They generated about $380 million of billing that you, the taxpayer, were putting up. That means roughly each business had a million dollars of billing.” … “It’s an industrial area. There’s no reason that you have a mother bring her child.”
“You can’t imagine getting extra business support. An autistic child probably wouldn’t want to come here. You hear the noise. It’s just not a hospitable place.”
“The question is, how is it possible 400 businesses billing almost $400 million were able to thrive here?!”
“I think it’s because they weren’t looking. They didn’t want to know that this problem was happening here.”
“We’re here to figure out why these folks are being defrauded. Why the people who live in Minnesota aren’t getting access to the care they deserve because it’s been stolen.”
Ask the right questions is apparent in this situation. Our premier law agency the FBI knew nothing about this?
It being above their pay grade might be funny if the implications wasn’t so dire.
To add to your question…
There were millions being taken through MSP airport and flagged by TSA.
Did nobody in TSA investigate those flags? Did they not investigate where the money was going? Did they not investigate where it was coming from?
So far much of the focus is on how state officials either knew of, participated in or ignored this massive fraud.
Where were the feds in any of this? TSA? HSI? DHS? HHS? FBI? HUD? BigEd?
Really good question. Why do these things take so long to figure out? And when will the indictments finally come?
You are the optimist thinking indictments will ever come.
TSA agents telling Myorkas that Somalis were stealing billions and flying the cash back to Africa would get them fired because Myorkas brought the Somalis to Minneapolis for that very reason! 🤔
The FBI has jurisdiction over airports do they not?
Because it’s staffed predominantly by Somali origin people. They know it, and are probably a part of it.
Sadly, I think we know.
From what I’ve read…. Most if not all the airport staff and officials were Somalian so there clan mentality and criminal instincts would encourage the fraud and theft.
They were focused on the terrorists buying bibles and going to school meetings. /s
And what judge should they get to sign an arrest warrant? While we worked, raised our children, paid taxes and went to church, the left stole every the schools, the legal system, the medical system and every agencies in DC.
No wonder they wanted Tim Walz to be the VP !!
The man is an actual expert on robbing money from the government (from the taxpayers)- he might be the best one on the whole country- which is precisely why they wanted him for his expertise.
Don’t forget AG Ellison.
Those two Minnesota morons are puppies in the theft of federal taxpayer money. Look at the ridiculous leftist blue states suing the Feds over not releasing the SNAP data. Just saw how proud the Attorney General from the communist State of Washington is to have sued the Feds to keep the SNAP recipient data ” confidential “. In other words, that communist state is happy as little kids at a birthday party to keep right on feeding illegals with SNAP.
If it’s a public expenditure, it should be public information.
Democrats never have been big supporters of ‘Thou Shalt Not Steal” Nor of “Thou Shalt Not Covet:.
They only rule they follow is that power is the means and the end.
This was not done without government coaching.
I agree 💯, Unc
Facilitators.

Wait until they start looking in California.
Nick Shirley on a podcast said he was heading to CA in the near future. That boy has grit…
He does but he is not getting the backup and support he should be getting from our leaders.
The interpersonal grit and love may have been developed by going door to door to visit with people as part of a mission when an elder teen.
[ one meets a lot of diverse people that way and gets a loving thick skin ( fortitude, reverance, etc) ]
Imho
They have started.
I read of one guy being arrested for fraud in a food for homeless business. He provided ramen and a microwave and pocketed the rest to the tune of $23 million.
Mansions, vacation home in Greece, $125,000 Land Rover, designer clothes.
It’s already out that California makes Minnesota’s fraud look like peanuts.
The people benefiting from this fraud were given the day off today. They pinged and got paid as they marched in the frigid Minneapolis street.
My sister in PA says her pastor is going to Minneapolis to join some protest. I think she said his trip was funded by the group that invited him.
Not meaning any disrespect to you or your sister but if she has a grain of self-respect she should be looking for a new pastor (as should the rest of the church members).
Apologies, did not mean to step on you comment.
Tell her he’s an apostate, a fraud and an unbeliever.
Time to find a new church/pastor.
There’s an entity on YouTube called “The Wire.” Yesterday he did a comprehensive breakdown of the groups involved in organizing and funding the “protests.” Most of the funding traces back to numerous NGOs that people don’t want to expose, largely because of their influential donors. Check it out.
I’m sure that if they were triple-amputee veterans the FBI would have been all over them.
I’m sorry but am I wrong to think that Trump needs to come home and bring the hammer down on all these scams, and especially the church invasion. His own country needs the attention – there is plenty of time to get around to all the other stuff after he finishes fixing OUR COUNTRY! This is getting to be just too much. I know, I know, he is solving wars and crises in other countries but I really don’t care about other countries.
47 is a builder. No worries!
God’s in Control
The other countries care about you and your losses which is their gain. Biden’s total lack of strength in the world left us sinking.
This fork has multiple tines… you need them all.
He is home.
Trump is resetting our economy onto solid ground. This is the priority.
It takes time for this to flow through to us, but undoing the humongous damage Biden inflicted will not be done overnight.
Here is an analogy:
Trump 1.0= taking a sliver out of a patient’s finger and now it fuctions and feels better quickly.
Trump2.0= getting the very ill patient into the ICU to be stabilized prior to restoring to health.
This is my perspective: things have actually stalled from a downward trajectory and are beginning to gather strength to return to prosperity.
This includes national security concerns.
100% of what he is doing is for domestic peace and prosperity. Notice which word comes first.
He is able to walk and chew gum at the same time. I have little doubt he is on top of the insurrection at home. There are many factors to consider.
A key ingredient in ensuring home prospers and is at peace, is keeping and hopefully expanding the House majority, and keeping the Senate majority in 2026. There are many potential obstacles , including voters on any point of right of center, not voting. As SD has said, not voting is not an option.
BTW, Reform California put out an alert that there are 60 legislative seats at state and federal levels for which there are NO Republican candidates. The deadline for candidacy is in about 6-7 weeks. So this state is even more doomed.
Alas, part of his job description involves foreign affairs. Frankly, if he appointed a more competent, less compromised Attorney General it would go a long way toward keeping the ball rolling.
Boggles the mind. We the people must express our disgust & outrage. This has to end, now! If nothing comes of it, we have no one but ourselves to blame. Thinking of Jack Smith. Why hasn’t he gotten the 3 AM wake-up knock? The Dems bring knives & guns to a fist fight, as usual.
I wonder if Biden got 10%
If “the Big Guy” got his 10%, how much did Hunter get?
I’m gonna say that at least 50% of the MN government and all Minneapolis officials are dirty on this game.
Every election all Minnesota counties are supposed to set up an Absentee Ballot Board that MUST be made up of 1/2 Republicans and 1/2 Democrats (and other political parties if they have a big enough percent of voters that year).
Instead of Minneapolis/Hennepin County looking for and finding Republicans to be on that board — which is part of their job — they instead have, for years/decades, been paying laid-off union workers to do the jobs.
125 Absentee Ballot Board members for Minneapolis and all were union workers who were not paid the going amount of $16 an hour like regular folks, but instead were paid whatever their average pay was when they were working for the union.
So if a welder made $50 an hour when working, he made $50 to be an Absentee Ballot Board member.
And there were no Republicans to be found up until the last election when those “in charge” were sued to do the right thing.
Here’s a thought, how about taking those 87,000 IRS agents that Biden hired to audit billionaires and reassign them to auditing fraud in government welfare programs?
Those agents were hired to track down online sellers who were paid $600+ a year.
That Biden law was so odious the admin had the IRS postpone enforcement twice. I hope it got rescinded in the BBB.
Not rescinded, but it’s now $20,000 or more.
Where’s all the people in the IRS especially forensic accountants who can track and trace all of the billions stolen ?
And the secret service that also tracks our Dollars globally
Dr Oz has been excellent in this role.
One would like to think he and his peers have underlings who can run with this — in fact who were already running with it and alerted him to the situation.
There has to be more than a few 10s of thousands of Somalis in Minnesota. Why aren’t the normal citizens who are paying taxes and being ripped off by this corruption and fraud up in arms about this?
Supposedly there’s around 100,000. There is one Somali that is talking about it:
https://alphanews.org/ngos-really-want-to-use-you-a-somali-american-speaks-out-on-fraud-facing-threats/
Somali American Abdi Nor Iftin is a naturalized U.S. citizen and the author of a memoir titled “Call Me American.” Iftin has also been outspoken about Somali fraud — and facing threats from the Somali community.
Need a huge prison to house the 99,999 others.
I’d rather have a bunch of prison ships to send them back to their motherland.
Rather lock them away to keep them from breeding.
We should not send them back until they serve prison sentences. They are sending their stolen money back to Somalia, so sending them back just means they can live like kings back home.
The question is how many normies in Minnesota even know the half of it?
The agitprop with the Anti-ICE activities serves as both useful distraction and impediment to investigations into the matter with varying levels of success.
When the critical mass is hit, everyone will know.
we are but the media has not reported on it for weeks due to all the ice coverage. This was the plan. The media with the exception of a couple like American Experiment and Alpha news ignore any malfeasance by the dems unless they have to.
If leaders in Blue states and cities can’t find these levels of welfare fraud, just imagine the levels of election fraud they “can’t” find.
If all the people who are not supposed to be voting are removed i bet the outcomes in elections would be much much different, even more so if the invisible voters are purged.
I would beg to differ.
All those illegible voters and fraudulent voter records exist to backfill for the ballot fraud where the counts are made and elections decided.
It is only concealment for the scale of stolen elections. Consider all the efforts to impede any auditing whatsoever of all the databases and tabulation machines.
I saw a post on X discussing an immigrant getting a denial for naturalization because they were registered to vote automatically when they got a drivers license.
Seems someone is also looking at drivers license data when looking at naturalization applications.
Repost this please 🎯

The charges have not been dropped. They’re just not being held in jail until the next hearing.
That slap on the wrist will show them!
SD needs to investigate how the African Methodist Episcopal Church AME infiltrated the US District Court Clerk’s Offices in Democrat Cities like he did with the county elections offices in Wisconsin.
It’s the same Black women who are RANDOMLY ASSIGNING federal judges that manufacture the ballots to steal elections!
Compare this to J6.
How did this go unnoticed?
Is no one “minding the store”?
Are they all thieves?
I want repayment with interest!
I want federal prosecutions and lengthy prison sentences.
I get it.
These people not only stole from Minnesotans (and I want my money back!), they stole from the Federal Government.
They stole your money, too.
Minnesota: Land of 10,000 Illegitimate Somali Businesses
It seems the new flavor of the Democrats is to ensure a Liberal/Democrat Judge get’s the case and disallows the DOJ to prosecute…The latest cure-all strategy for corrupt Democrats.
This Wizard Of Oz does not hide behind a curtain. Go get ’em, man.
Griggs-Midway Building had been a staple in St. Paul on University Avenue from the time my mom was a little girl (1930s) and lived less than a mile away. Her parents home was razed in the 1970s to put up the Seal Hi-Rise on Raymond Ave.
When my mom was a little girl her neighborhood was pretty rough, with lots of industrial buildings around, and many are still there.
In the 1980s I volunteered in the Griggs Building at Friend’s of the Blind typing books in braille. University Avenue was busy back then, and safe during the day. Since the light rail was brought in it took a big turn for the worse.
If Griggs-Midway is now full of mostly muslim businesses — with muslim men hanging around outside — I’m sure no sane adult takes their child there.
Yes. Glad to see you helping to clarify that the building isn’t the issue. It’s been home to offices for generations. And crazy as it seems there’s a school just to the east of that building. And the city will tell you there’s even a city park running alongside the sidewalk there.
If these “businesses” are claiming to be offering at home services then a low-rent office space is not a sure sign of fraud. However, any person with an ounce of sense knows that the types of personal services being alleged are not likely to concentrate in any one culture. Be real. Norwegians for example, no matter how long they’ve lived here and no matter how leftist they claim to be, will not be comfortable entrusting their children’s special service needs to people one step off the pirate boat. They just won’t. For one demographic group, ANY group, to dominate this type of service is prima facie evidence that there is fraud.
My Swedish ancestry hairdresser claims you can always tell a Norwegian, but you can’t tell him much.
My pastor of Norwegian descent jokingly says that Norwegians were mentioned in the Old Testament: “a stiff-necked people.”
(And yes, ShadowKnows, your point is a good one. This is just for a little humor amidst the outrage.)
Oh people noticed. They noticed for the sake of determining their cut.
If these are all Federal tax dollars what is the persons name and position responsible for auditing this? When are the auditors and others aiding and enabling these frauds which have been going on for years going to jail?
Emphasis: “No one in [State or(!) Federal] oversight ‘wanted to know,'” because every single one of them was in on the ‘take!’
I am not actually being “cynical” when I begin to seriously ask: “How much of our ‘stupendous national debt’ has been … stolen?!”
You can’t tell me that “no one in State or Local Government” could have ever “put two and two together.” If they “miraculously” never, ever, did so, then there is only 💰 one 💰 reason.
But, unfortunately, you can’t stop there. You have to extend to Federal, as well. And, once again: “Only One Reason.”
Therefore, I repeat my original question. How much?
You will have to bring the army in to end this much fraud and theft.
Refreshing to see people in the govt. agencies stepping up; and even better seeing Dr. Oz and Mr. O’Neil stepping up and being the face of these exposures, especially Dr. Oz given his inside knowledge of how the system works from the actual medical provider side and now these men are in position to do actual change.
Another item to add to the Win column.
Riots in MN? Gee, I wonder why…?
I’m thinking about this irresponsible management of tax payer dollars. If we, the taxpayers, don’t pay taxes, there is an immediate consequence (or so I hear). But if the government willingly tosses our money into a black hole of fraud there seems to be little consequence. I’m calling this the “too big to sin” paradigm.
Has anyone on this thread heard of a practical approach for taxpayers to respond and hold government officials accountable? Waiting till election time isn’t working.
This is how they are funding the massive amount of mosque building.
Let’s put it this way…the administration has only uncovered the tip the iceberg of national Democrat-sponsored corruption. What’s happening in Minnesota is amateur hour compared to what they will find in California.
As I’ve posted before, the Democrat party today is the largest organized crime organization the country has ever seen, and it has Republican branches. This is why they oppose Trump so ferociously, because the corruption is so massive and the President is not in the club so all he could ever do is uncover it. And Donald Trump’s personality dictated that, given enough time, he would uncover it and move against it.
If anyone had doubts before, there should be none now – it’s war. And it’s a war that, with God’s help, we must win.

Y’all go download my friend Natasha’s … new song. She is best known for her hit ” Trump Won ( And You Know It). @RobSchneider just shared this, too! It’s awesome !

As a musician, it bugs the hell out of me that this is not in 3/4 time. Funny song, though.
Lol. All the kids are “learing”

There was a video the other day shared in a Presidential of a citizen journalist going through a building with “business” after “business”, almost all in the late stage illness business sprinkled with elderly day care centers that nobody answered the doors of and from which no sounds were emanating.
The state knew about it.
They were in on it.
The answer to Waltz, Frey, and the anti-ICE protestors is a question.
Where’s the money Timmy and Jacob? Where’s the money?
They whine about ICE, we ask where’s the money?
Brings new meaning to the term Business Incubator.
“………..a former linen factory that was transformed into 400 Medicaid businesses that generated almost $380 million in billing to CMS.”
That’s only one building. In one state. Tell me again why I have to pay more and more in taxes each year, and yet we always seem to have this huge deficit…….
Watch your back Mehmet.
For 18yrs the DC cop who killed Ashley Babbit and wife have run a day care out of their home and received hundreds of millions of dollars.
How the flying F can this happen and not one person catches it especially the IRS (THEIRS)
And CMS employees knew nothing about all of this ?
From the article: US tax money housed Ashli Babbitt’s Capitol Police shooter By Sharyl Attkisson | January 12, 2023
“The watchdog group Judicial Watch has obtained 31 pages of documents from the Air Force, Joint Base Andrews, MD, that show Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd was housed at taxpayer expense at Joint Base Andrews after he shot and killed Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt, who was unarmed, inside the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.
In addition to Byrd being put up in hotel and having his bills paid, the government also hid his identity from the public.”

From what I understand the Muslin witch doctor banker types where “transfering” cash to settle accounts in Dubai with the cash going on to Somalia. Why can’t a normal bank transfer the funds to Dubai and then the Dubai banks transfer cash to the witch doctors. I understand that would leave a paper trail and hinder the fraud but it makes sense to me.
Keep digging. There’s definitely more fraud, schemes and rackets the democrats are involved in.
Well has anybody thought that just maybe Illian Omar was paid to help the Somalis set all this up? Just a few years ago she reported to ethics that she had no money and now reports 30 million. How is that?
I’m sick of seeing all the destruction to this country, all the crime and even when the thugs are apprehended, some corrupt judge releases them or refuses to sign arrest warrant.
Meanwhile Grassley honors the lunatic pink slip. They don’t impeach judges and they can’t get any nominations because 86 year old Grassley has gotta honor the “traditions”. But let’s just keep sitting back watching this great country being destroyed. Trump only has his administration, MAGA is MIA.
Yes, the Republican branch of the Uni-party does what it can to prop up the dying edifice.
But as you say, Grassley is pretty old (he’s actually 92). The Lord loves righteousness and justice in nations and a person’s age is no shield against His will, but only a cautionary to do the right thing, and get right, in the waning moments of life.

One other way to tell it was coordinated: It happens at scale in MN, ME, WA, that I know of at this time. SO it had to be a Democrat operation. The Democrat Party is a criminal organization especially when you throw in ACTBLUE. Wonder if a lot of the Somali skim was not processed by ACTBLUE?
Notice how actually getting out into the neighborhoods and just looking around finds all kind of stuff. A baseline master class of how to conduct criminal investigations. Makes you wonder what the local police – who patrol these neighborhoods- were doing with their time. No deterrent stops? No suspicious activity reports? Pathetic.
I always wondered why the push to get Medicare for all was important to (former) NC Gov. Roy Cooper. Now I think I understand.
State licensed agencies receive Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement. The Department of Health is responsible for the licensing of those facilities and agencies. Where are the annual audits and on-site reviews as required to retain or initiate a license? Remember “Dr.” Kermit Gosnell of Philadelphia? He is the most prolific serial killer in American history. He was running an abortion mill in Philly and murdering babies who managed to survive his botched abortion. The Department of Health in PA was notified over and over again about the appalling filthy conditions in the facility. Finally, after years of being allowed to “legally” operate under the shield of “state licensed facility”, a woman died. The PA Department of Health was bludgeoned for their gross negligence and the death of at least one woman. Gosnell is doing life in prison for murdering hundreds of babies. I wouldn’t doubt that the MN Department of Health is equally complicit. It must be looking the other way.
All of the checks had to be cashed at a bank or currency exchange. What accounts received the money or what specific currency exchanges were doing the processing?
It isn’t rocket science to look at the back of the check.
WHY is there one RIP of care or concern?
OUR esteemed congress JUST UNDERCUT EVERY DOGE cut made 1Y ago.
EVERY cut.
AND, we continue to FUND these type projects/scams/shenanigans PLUS MORE migrant funding???
I’m supposed to care why?
You can let out all the disgust, surprise, shock or indignation all you please, NOT ONE DAMN THING will EVER be done.
Spot on, this is why i dont feel at all bad about retiring and never contributing a dime to this crooked government ever again and am in fact going to just stick my hand out like everybody else
i’m starting to think this is ALL our money goes toward — fraudulent kickback schemes.
This is one of thousands across the nation. They are not elected, they are SELECTED! All you need to do is watch Colonel McGregor; they are controlled by the Donorclass. Both parties are funded by corporations controlled by State Street, BlackRock, and Vanguard! What else is needed to know?
