Chicago On The Mississippi
Fearless prediction: Minnesota isn’t done with corruption scandals: We’re nowhere near the bottom of this barrel. When someone – the US DOJ, or a hypothetical future Republican governor – finally starts looking at where the bodies are buried in Minnesota’s non-profit/industrial complex, “Feeding Our Future” will just be the appetizer.

As The DFL…
…votes down the proposed Inspector General’s office – not so much a “MN DOGE” as a someone empowered to go after things like systemic fraud – this happened: They may not have been quite ready to file the next round of charges, but were forced into action Sunday when they learned one woman they are…

Ellison Meets Meatgrinder
The House Fraud committee got a chance to ask Attorney General Ellison two hours worth of questions yesterday. It didn’t go well for the Attorney General: To recap – the top lawyers in the state was working against his client, on behalf of peole who were giving him and his son a ton of money. …

It Ain’t Over
Even as the “Feeding Our Future” scandal appears to shift into a new gear with the release of the recording of Keith Ellison appearing to: put the lie to several of his statements about when he did or didn’t know about the fraud scandal tell some future defendants that the Attorney General’s Office (AGO) could…

Ellison On Tape
In the six years Tim Walz has governed Minnesota, and especially in the two years the DFL, the state’s bespoke version of the Democratic Party, has had unfettered control of the state’s government, Minnesota has become something of a hotbed of corruption. The marquee case, so far, is “Feeding Our Future”, named after a non-profit…

A Cold Chicago, Part I
So – why are the DFL playing hooky from office? Because fraud is a way of life under DFL governance. No, literally – they said it out loud: They literally admitted it. And the GOP caught that. And like “Feeding Our Future”, its’ just the tip of the iceberg: The GOP was scheduled to hold…

This Didn’t Age Well
The DFL, 20-odd months ago: Unless they’re Hunter Biden (starting just before “The Big Guy” started getting his cut from Burisma, and ending midnight Sunday). Or Nicole Mitchell. Or Judd Hoff. Or Julie Blaha. Or a whole lot of “Feeding our Future”, Childcare or Medicare fraudsters. Other than them, nobody’s above the law. And Keith…

Pounce On PIglet
It’s always the food photos with Governor Klink. Only this time it’s not Pronto Pups: Huh. For the past two years, we’ve been told Minnesota’s economy is boooooooming. Now that a Republican is president-elect, the GOP will own Congress, and the DFL trifecta is dead…well, you see how this works. So let’s translate this from…

Just Another Day In Tim Walz’s Minnesota
Every day is an opportunity for some new kind of social services fraud. Medicare? Food? Childcare? Old hat! Now it’s “Autism treatment centers“: Autism centers are – this beggars the imagination – not licensed in Minnesota, a state that requires a license to braid hair. But unlike hair braiding (as far as I know), there’s…

I Heard It On The NARN
Check out Bill Glahn’s reporting on Feeding Our Future. Today’s music list:

One Vibraaaaaasant Minnesota!
It has become an iron clad fact that the only actual “reporting” going on in Twin Cities media is from the “alternative” media. And while I riff on the “MN Reformer” – which is paid for by leftists with deep pockets – I’ll include them as well. “Bags of Cash” allegedly offered to “Feeding Our…

The Machine
Think back on all the financial corruption scandals in recent Minnesota history. The non-profit scandals that edged a couple of Minneapolis DFLers out of office ten-ish years ago. The DHS Daycare fraud case – involving hundreds of millions of dollars. “Feeding our Future” – $250M at least, probably more like $500M. What do they all…

Thoughtcrime
Minnesota is getting its thoughtcrime registry. First, some credit where it’s due. I actually found a relatively fair, well-balanced story on the subject. Of course, I had to go to Grand Forks to do it. The piece covers the registry’s background – including some of the fairly inspired quesistoning by Republicans Harry Niska and Walter…

Why I’m Voting GOP Tomorrow – Part I
I think I voted for some Democrats in the 1982 midterms, when I was 20 and still fighting with my Democrat upbringing. The last Democrat I know I voted for was 26 years ago – because she was unopposed, and her constituent services person worked wonders (she actually went on to be one of the…

Feeding Our Benefactors
Legitimate (as far as we know) food non-profits are concerned that the Feeding our Future scandal will make it harder for them to fundraise. I can see why. If it became harder to launder money through non-profits, the DFL would have nothing but “progressive” billionaires to fund them. Speaking of laundering money, Bill Glahn –…

From The Horse’s Mouth
No reporter in Minnesota has covered the Feeding Our Future scandal like Bill Glahn. (Few have tried, but that’s another issue all together). With that in mind, rather than trying to recap all the facts we know, I’m just going to attach this video of Glahn talking with John Hinderaker at the Center of the…

Feeding Our Supporters
The “Feeding Our Future” (FOF) scandal just keeps getting better and better. Let’s sum up where we are so far: 48 people were indicted on Thursday by the Feds. Governor Walz claimed that Ramsey County Judge John Guthman, had ordered the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) – on pain of a contempt charge and potential…

The DFL’s No Good, Very Bad Day (Part III): Follow The Money
Perhaps the biggest story of all dropped last. US Attorney Andy Lugar released indictments against 47 (and later, 48) suspects in the Feeding Our Future scandal – the scam funneling $250 million in federal COVID relief into, it’s alleged, the pockets of a series of local non-profits. he 48th indictment was allegedly a woman who…
