Jasmine Crockett Just Got Caught in Another Scandal

 Townhall

"The lawmaker is known not only for lying about Jeffrey Epstein, but also crime. She claimed that white supremacists are responsible for most of the crime in the United States." 

Rich Terrell

"When Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) isn’t busy trying to deceive the public about Jeffrey Epstein’s donations to Republicans, she’s dodging bills.

"The lawmaker reportedly refuses to pay for her luxury home in Dallas, according to a Fox News Digital report.

Progressive firebrand and rumored Senate candidate Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, has had an unpaid lien balance of over $3,000 against her luxury condo in Dallas for over a year, according to county records reviewed by Fox News Digital.

A notice of a lien filed on April 11, 2024, which is publicly available on the Dallas County Clerk’s website, shows that Crockett owes the Westside Condominium Association a total of $3,047.79.

The notice said that Crockett "is in default in her obligation for payment of assessments and has failed and refused and continues to fail and refuse, despite demand upon her, to pay the Association assessments and related charges properly levied against the Property." . . .  More...

 . . . "The report notes that Crockett bought the condominium in May 2014. The HOA fees are between $222 and $403. 

"This news comes after Crockett’s suspicious campaign expenses were exposed. Her campaign spent over $25,000 on high-end hotels and limousine services in 2025. She also spent almost $50,000 on security expenses." . . .

"Made you look!

"Over the last two weeks, parts of the coastal Northeast have experienced sub-freezing temperatures, well before such readings are typical.

"In contrast with the occasional 60-degree day one might experience in New York City in January, such uncharacteristically cool temperatures have failed to give rise to plaintive headlines and think pieces decrying the “new normal” of an increasingly frigid planet.

"And yet oddly warm winter days will often prompt just that — everything from interviews with young people expressing guilt over enjoying a pleasant winter’s day in Central Park (which I recall seeing in New York media several years ago), to 3,000-word essays explicating in laborious detail how a warmer world will impact (among other things) migration flows, geopolitics, and food prices.

"Whether under the cover of straight reporting or in the form of the dreaded “news analysis” increasingly popular in many publications, media outlets often cannot resist stretching an anodyne, anecdotal experience (in this example, the weather) into a tendentious line of reasoning designed to drive a predetermined narrative.

"Such ideologically infused reporting elides how the events comprising the human experience tend to sit along a bell curve of probability. To label a weather event a “hundred-year storm” is to correctly acknowledge the difference between infrequency and unprecedentedness; by contrast, citing some outlying, five standard deviations from the mean occurrence as proof of durable “change” insults one’s intelligence.

"The “news analysis” format in particular is rife with shaky extrapolations of discrete events into larger patterns of meaning. Publications offering only straight reporting and an opinion/commentary section draw sufficiently clear lines between what is provable fact (or can be reasonably inferred) on the one hand, and the opinions or conclusions which one might draw from such reporting on the other. What “news analysis” pieces — whether anecdotally derived or otherwise — do is short circuit the process by which the reader educates himself and forms an opinion; rather, it presents information — which need not even be particularly compelling, as is often the case with anecdotal experience — and instructs the audience as to how to interpret it."  . . .

DHS to increase operations in Twin Cities region as Somali fraud becomes unignorable

Cooper Williamson  

"As deportation operations continue to clean up sanctuary cities across the country, the Department of Homeland Security is focusing on another hub of problematic immigration: the Minneapolis-St. Paul region of Minnesota.

 'The Washington Examiner reported that Tom Homan, the Trump administration's border czar, hinted at an immigration enforcement surge there as soon as this week.

 'In a Fox News appearance on Tuesday, Homan suggested that plans were already in the works to increase resources in the Twin Cities in particular.

“ 'I can tell you, the focus is there. It's coming, but I don't want to give a lot. I can't tell you how many people are on the ground now, and how many people are going to be on the ground. I'll leave that to the secretary of homeland security, but focus is on those Twin Cities more because of the criminal activities there that've been uncovered by DOJ and DHS,” Homan said in the interview.

Citing an anonymous source familiar with the operations, the New York Times reported that the operation will target Somalis with final deportation orders in the Minneapolis-St. Paul region.

"Roughly 100 ICE agents have been called in for the operation, according to NYT.

"This surge in law enforcement comes as the federal government expands its investigations into massive COVID-era fraud schemes. Over 75 indictments have already been issued, and Governor Tim Walz has been accused of obstruction in the case." . . .More...l

Why Are There So Many Women Blocking ICE Agents from Doing Their Jobs?

 Phyllis Chesler

"Why are these women also flying Palestine flags and wearing keffiyehs? Who is paying them to do this? Or are they actually stupid enough to do this pro bono?

"For that matter, why are so many young women in NYC so dressed up as they line up to catch a glimpse of their heartthrob, killer Luigi Mangione, who is on trial for murdering an insurance company executive?

"Might as well ask: Why do women write to male serial killers who have killed women? And why do they marry them as well? I once joked that they do so because they have delusions of omnipotence--that they alone can tame the savage beast, but there’s more. They can always be sure where “their” man is; there can be no other woman with him; and, most of all, these brides do not have to cook, do laundry, or clean up for these male killers who might actually appreciate their visits, including the conjugal visits.

"What is wrong with this picture? Practically everything. And the real and radical feminist movement is nowhere in sight. We’ve been marginalized, disappeared, our most important ideas forgotten.

"Oh yes: There are so many women in hijabs attacking pro-Israel activists, individual Jews, both Jewish students and teachers...I could go on. I have ideas about this but will share them a bit later."

Walz’s welfare wonderland

 Walz’s welfare wonderland   

"An X thread from Vigilant Fox captures the outrage: “Every trail leads directly to Governor Tim Walz,” with insiders decrying political pressure and buried evidence." 

Rich Terrell

"Minnesota’s Governor Tim Walz — Kamala Harris’s former aw-shucks VP sidekick — now faces a scandal so colossal it could swallow the state budget whole. Over 480 Department of Human Services (DHS) employees have blown the whistle, accusing Walz of masterminding a cover-up for a Somali immigrant-led fraud ring that siphoned more than $1 billion from social programs.

"That’s billion with a B — stolen through COVID relief scams, fake autism diagnoses, and Medicaid kickbacks, with funds funneled overseas, including to Al-Shabaab terrorists. One standout grifter, 29-year-old Asha Farhan Hassan, allegedly pocketed $14 million alone from programs meant for vulnerable kids. Federal prosecutors have nailed 59 perps so far, but 80% of the loot remains unrecovered, leaving Minnesotans footing the bill for everything from phantom child-feeding initiatives to juror bribes.

"Whistleblowers paint a chilling picture: They signaled red flags early — loophole-riddled programs in housing, behavioral health, and disability services designed without safeguards to “extract more funding.” Walz’s response? Crickets, followed by a crackdown. Staff endured email surveillance, reassignments, family threats, and repression to bury reports and avoid “demonizing entire communities.” . . .

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz: Staggeringly incompetent Somali fraud apologist

. . . "So, the staggering fraud, grift, graft, and deception isn’t just among Somalis? Walz is admitting it goes much deeper than that? Is every state government entity, “charity” organization, and minority group involved in fraudulently bilking the North Star state citizen-taxpayer out of his or her money?! At this point, it wouldn’t surprise many.

"Minnesota is no longer prosperous or well-run, explicitly because of Walz’s leadership … or lack thereof. And I very much doubt that criminals care much about its soon-to-be-former AAA bond rating." . . .

"All one can hope in the wake of this monstrosity is that a whole lot of lowlife and their governor find their way to jail, and their ill-gotten gains are somehow recovered. As the Times notes, this scandal threatens the Minnesota "way of life", meaning, why Minnesota can't have nice things. What a revolting scandal. Walz is a corrupt clod who needs to go down for this."

Treasury Launches Probe into Allegations Somali Fraud Rings in Minnesota Ripped off Taxpayers and Diverted Funds to Terrorists   

Meanwhile, a recording of a December 2021 meeting between Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and key figures in the Feeding Our Future scandal emerged earlier this year.

Ellison, the state’s chief law enforcement officer, was caught on tape pledging support to a group of Somalis “who would soon become his family’s campaign donors and later Feeding Our Future criminal defendants.”

Did Minnesota AG Keith Ellison Help Somali Non-Profits Defraud State Taxpayers?   . . . "But the rot and corruption didn't stop there. It now appears that Minnesota's Attorney General Keith Ellison not only helped Somali non-profit groups continue to get funding, despite the numerous red flags popping up, but that he allegedly received campaign donations after doing so.

"We'll start with audio that reportedly shows Ellison promising to help Somali groups in exchange for campaign donations." . . .

"Yesterday, Townhall reported that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz was not only aware of the massive fraud taking place in his state — fraud that not only bilked Minnesota taxpayers of billions, but led to the death of at least one vulnerable Minnesota man and helped to fund Islamic terrorism in Somalia — but he was punishing whistleblowers who reported on the fraud."

How Minneapolis-Saint Paul became the Medicaid fraud capital of the USA. .

. ""The fraud spread so widely and quickly that it appeared to have no real architect. Word of the Feeding Our Future money galloped through the Somali community, which kept the secret from non-Somali Minnesota with ironclad discipline. The clan system acted as both pathway and protection for the fraud. One Twin Cities Somali alleged to me that most of the Feeding Our Future scammers were from the Hawiye clan, while a similar fraud, run through a group called Partners in Nutrition, was a Darod grift. Upon hearing this description of the frauds, another source alleged that while the vast majority of FOF scammers were in fact Darod, most of those prosecuted have been Hawiye. It is difficult to assess such claims, though they speak to the endurance of the clans as the chief organizing social framework for Somalis 35 years into the community’s arrival in free and democratic America, as well as the ease with which the clan can become a vector of corruption." . . .

Kamala is Very Sorry Not Sorry for Your Loss

American Greatness    "Kamala is very sorry for Alexis Nungaray’s loss. Kamala is very sorry Alexis’ 12-year-old daughter was strangled to death and discarded in a creek near her home.

. . . "And to the families of anyone who ends up being harmed by the Colombian gang leader the Biden-Harris regime invited into this country, Kamala will be very sorry for your loss and/or feel awful for what one of your children and your family experienced.

"In other words, if you are offended by the death and exploitation wrought by her open border policies, Kamala is very sorry. Not responsible. Just sorry.

"Yet, an expression of apology without the acceptance of responsibility is a sorry not sorry. Kamala’s attempt to blame-shift eliminates even the possibility of genuine empathy.

Tampons To Stop Talking About Fraud Scandal

"I was on Australian television tonight, and one of the topics was Tim Walz and the Minnesota fraud scandal. What was striking to me is that Walz has become an international laughingstock. His ineptitude is recognized around the globe.

"And yet, there is nothing new in the revelations of the past week or two. Bill Glahn of my organization has been writing about Feeding Our Future and the related Walz administration scandals for nearly four years. The fraud story is so far from being new, that in Feeding Our Future alone, the U.S. Attorney’s office has charged 78 defendants, two criminal trials have been held, resulting in convictions, and more than 50 defendants have pleaded guilty. Power Line readers have known about the scandal for a long time, but it is nice to see the rest of the country finally taking notice.

Afghan terror and Somalia fraud shows why Trump is right on migrants

 Douglas Murray

  "But at least the president’s Somalia and Afghan orders, and his tough move against the Muslim Brotherhood, shows that we are least starting to try. Not a moment too soon."

"You have to be careful with a country. Even a nation as vast in size and huge in population as the United States cannot be endlessly experimented upon. You cannot just leave borders open, or allow in large numbers of people with totally different value systems from your own.

"That is the mistake many European countries have committed in recent years. They have opened their homes up to people from almost every part of the world where there is civil strife, war or just a lower standard of living.

"The results can be seen everywhere. It is the reason why a country like Sweden — that used to be such a placid, decent place — has become one of the most violent countries in the world not actually at war. Grenade attacks, gang-warfare: these things were recently alien to Sweden. Not anymore.

"It is the same here in the United States — though here the effects are more dispersed, so the problem can be covered up for longer.

"But two things have happened in the past week that ought to allow any American reflect on how carefully we should treat the future of this country.

"The first is the discovery — reported first in City Journal — of vast amounts of welfare and charitable fraud being carried out by the Somali residents of Minnesota.

"Somalia has been in a state of war and collapse for more than three decades. As a result many Western countries — including America — were persuaded to give asylum to large numbers of Somalis." . . . More...
