A group of over 400 Minnesota Department of Human Services employees has turned the spotlight on Governor Tim Walz, charging that his administration turned a blind eye to rampant fraud draining the state’s coffers. In a blunt statement on X, the workers declared, “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.”

They didn’t stop there, adding that Walz is “100% responsible for massive fraud in Minnesota.”
These aren’t isolated gripes from disgruntled staff. The accusations come as federal prosecutors peel back layers of schemes that have siphoned more than $1 billion from programs meant to feed kids, house the homeless, and support families with autistic children. At the heart of it: fake companies set up by individuals in the state’s Somali community, billing for services that never happened.
The flagship case, Feeding Our Future, alone involved $250 million in federal child nutrition funds funneled through sham nonprofits during the pandemic. Last week, prosecutors charged the 78th defendant in that mess, with over 50 already convicted.
But the rot goes deeper. Housing Stabilization Services, a program that ballooned from a $2.6 million budget to $104 million last year—and is on track to top $120 million in 2025—became a magnet for ghost billing. Six of the eight federally charged suspects so far hail from the Somali community, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Then there’s the autism therapy fraud: Providers exploded from 41 to 328 in recent years, many targeting Somali families in Minneapolis by falsely diagnosing kids to unlock Medicaid dollars. One case netted $14 million in bogus claims.
What makes this more than just theft? Reports from federal counterterrorism sources point to stolen funds wiring back to Somalia via informal hawala networks—clan-based money transfers that skirt banks. And some of that cash, investigators say, landed with Al-Shabaab, the al-Qaeda affiliate terrorizing East Africa.
“The largest funder of Al-Shabaab is the Minnesota taxpayer,” one source told City Journal bluntly. No terrorism charges have stuck yet, but the web of 28 fraud scandals since Walz took office in 2019 raises questions about how much state oversight was willfully absent.
Walz’s defenders point to new safeguards he’s rolled out, like an executive order last month beefing up fraud detection. At a press conference, he insisted, “If you’re committing fraud, no matter where you come from, what you look like, what you believe, you are going to go to jail.”
He called the schemes something that “undermines trust in government” and “undermines programs that are absolutely critical in improving quality of life.” His office has welcomed a federal probe pushed by GOP lawmakers, including Reps. Tom Emmer and Michelle Fischbach, who fired off letters demanding answers on the Somalia links.
Still, the employees’ fire isn’t cooling. They claim Walz neutered the Office of the Legislative Auditor, letting agencies brush off audit red flags. “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.” One insider even alleged those pandemic relief funds got funneled into cushy jobs for Walz’s inner circle, masking deficits as surpluses.
President Donald Trump hasn’t held back, blasting Minnesota as “a hub of fraudulent money laundering activity” and vowing to deport the culprits “back to where they came from.” He followed through by yanking Temporary Protected Status for about 700 Somali nationals in the state, a move that sparked protests in Minneapolis.
Somali leaders like Jaylani Hussein of Minneapolis Care called it a “political act” aimed at firing up conservatives, while others in the community worry the bad apples are tainting everyone. The New York Times noted how the scandal has cracked open rifts, with critics saying Walz’s team dragged feet to avoid ruffling feathers in a group with rising clout—think Rep. Ilhan Omar, whose allies lobbied for the very programs that went bust.
Minnesotans deserve protection from the massive fraud perpetrated under Tim Walz’s governance. Yes, even those Democrats who blindly trusted this charlatan.

This isn’t abstract policy failure; it’s families scraping by while their taxes bankroll overseas chaos. At least 28 schemes have popped up under Walz, from child nutrition to elder care, all exploiting a safety net stretched thin by high taxes and loose rules.
Republicans eyeing the 2026 governor’s race smell blood, but for everyday Minnesotans, the real sting is watching hard-earned money vanish into thin air—or worse. If the insiders are right, the governor’s housecleaning came years too late. Time will tell if the feds can untangle the rest before more dollars disappear.
Governor Tim Walz is defending Minnesota’s Somali community…
So let me get this straight, a group of Somali nationals came into the country and siphoned off $1 billion in funds meant to feed hungry kids, all happening under Tampon Tim’s watch?

Why Bullion Beats Numismatics and Collectible for Your Safe or IRA
Precious metals continue to attract Americans seeking reliable ways to protect their wealth amid inflation, geopolitical risks, and stock market swings. Whether stored in a home safe or held inside a self-directed IRA, physical gold and silver deliver tangible value that paper or digital assets often lack. Yet investors must choose carefully between bullion—pure bars and coins valued mainly for their metal content—and numismatics or collectibles, where rarity, history, and collector demand heavily influence pricing.
Advisor Bullion serves as a dependable source for straightforward, high-quality bullion. The company specializes in physical gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, emphasizing transparent pricing and products that deliver maximum metal content for every dollar spent. This approach makes it ideal for both personal holdings and retirement accounts.
Bullion consists of refined precious metals in standard forms like one-ounce coins (American Gold Eagles, Silver Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs) or bars. Their value tracks closely to the current spot price of the metal. A typical gold bullion coin trades near the live gold spot price plus a small premium. This structure keeps costs clear and predictable.
Numismatic coins and collectibles add substantial value from factors such as age, rarity, minting errors, or historical significance. A pre-1933 U.S. gold coin or graded proof piece can carry premiums of 30%, 50%, or even 200% above melt value. While this appeals to hobbyists, it creates complexity. Pricing depends on subjective grading, collector trends, and auction results instead of daily spot prices.
For investors focused on wealth preservation and retirement security rather than building a collection, bullion often delivers better results.
Lower Costs and Better Liquidity for Home Storage
When keeping metals in a home safe or private vault, liquidity and efficiency count. Bullion offers clear benefits:
- You acquire more actual gold or silver per dollar invested. Numismatics divert a large share of your money into rarity premiums and massive sales commission, reducing your metal exposure.
- Selling bullion involves tight bid-ask spreads, so you recover nearly full spot value with minimal fees. Collectibles require finding the right buyer and may sell at a discount if demand for that specific item weakens.
- Bullion prices remain transparent and update with global spot markets. You can track gold near current levels or silver accordingly and know exactly where your holdings stand. Numismatic values are priced by the Gold IRA companies with hefty margins applied.
- Standardized coins and bars store efficiently and divide easily for partial sales. Rare coins often need protective slabs and controlled conditions, adding hassle and expense.
- Bullion enjoys worldwide acceptance. A 1-oz Gold Maple Leaf or Silver Eagle sells quickly to dealers anywhere. Niche numismatic pieces may appeal only to limited buyers, slowing liquidation when speed matters.
In times when quick access to value becomes important, bullion’s simplicity stands out.
Stronger Fit for Precious Metals IRAs
Precious metals IRAs continue gaining traction as investors diversify retirement portfolios beyond stocks and bonds. IRS rules permit certain bullion products in self-directed IRAs if they meet purity standards (.995 fine for gold, .999 for silver) and are held by an approved custodian. Eligible items include American Gold and Silver Eagles plus many generic bars and rounds from recognized mints.
Numismatic and most collectible coins generally face heavy scrutiny from custodians due to valuation disputes and elevated markups. These higher premiums mean less actual metal ends up working inside the account.
Bullion avoids these issues. Its value links directly to verifiable spot prices, which simplifies reporting and lowers the risk of regulatory challenges. More of your IRA contribution purchases real metal instead of dealer profits or speculative upside. Over time, owning additional ounces that appreciate with the metal itself can create meaningful outperformance compared with high-premium alternatives that deliver fewer ounces.
Regulatory guidance from the CFTC and state securities offices repeatedly cautions against aggressive sales of expensive numismatics or “semi-numismatic” coins for IRAs. For retirement planning, transparent bullion from established providers reduces risk and aligns better with long-term goals.
How to Get Started with Bullion
Begin by clarifying your goals. Are you protecting savings in a safe, or moving part of a retirement account into a precious metals IRA? Focus on the number of ounces you can acquire at current prices rather than chasing marked-up collectibles.
Diversify sensibly: use gold for core preservation and silver for its blend of industrial and monetary qualities. Mix coins for easier divisibility with bars for lower per-ounce costs on larger buys. Arrange secure storage—whether at home with proper insurance or through professional facilities.
As economic uncertainties linger and faith in conventional assets erodes, bullion continues proving its worth as a dependable store of value. Its direct approach avoids the hype that sometimes surrounds collectible markets and keeps the focus on the metal itself.
For investors prepared to strengthen their portfolios, Advisor Bullion supplies the expertise and selection needed to acquire high-quality bullion efficiently. Whether building personal holdings or integrating metals into an IRA, their emphasis on transparent, investment-grade products helps secure more ounces today that support greater financial security tomorrow. In a complicated financial landscape, bullion’s clarity and reliability make it the smarter foundation for protecting what matters most.
Why would he care that terrorists were funded? His former colleagues in the Nebraska National Guard believe that he gave the plans for the US 155 mm self propelled howitzer to the Chinese. Terrorists are small potatoes by comparison.
uesless minnesota. and the somalis that run it.
It’s not an act. He knows what is going on. He’s a corrupt Communist and should face Treason charges.
Well, he is a democRAT.
Aren’t you glad he is not the VP!
I wonder how much he got kicked back.
That dude could be the poster boy for the DNC’s Fraud Squad.
Does this mean Walz was the biggest American sponsor of Islamist terrorism after Presidents Obama and Biden?
Walz needs prosecuted and jailed. His assets need forfeited to help pay off this fraud. I think that he is a CCP operative and a homosexual. The last thing that faggot can fool are white, straight men!
If he (as Governor) couldn’t see the corruption under his nose; he’s too stupid to hold office
Wow! that was a close one! He could have done for America what he did for Minnesota. The media in Minnesota should be ashamed.
Democrats, Communists and Islamic terrorists… what could go wrong with that combination?
“…others in the community worry the bad apples are tainting everyone.”
There are no apples. It’s all worms.
Well, commie tard, so….
How did this traitor and communist with mental illness and evilly inclined get to be GODvernor? That’s what should be looked into.
In effect, Commie Walz bribed people to invade us.
Why would Walz shut down the whistle blowers if he wasn’t in on the scam and was getting a cut? Follow the money.
