The recent $1 billion fraud allegations coming out of the Somali community in Minnesota are a perfect example of how the “Democratic mind” views fraud: “[The Democrats create a federal program. They put people in it to run it. Those people have friends and contractor companies that do business with it. No one’s salary is dependent on whether they do a good or bad job. They’re there for life.
“When you look at the Democratic reaction to this, they’re not angry,” argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:”

There is no longer any doubt that their Party of Slavery is just as evil today as it was 165 years ago when they killed 700,000 Americans in their depraved attempt to preserve human slavery.
Buying votes.
Remember, they HAD TO branch out into social services fraud when they were stopped from buying votes with free drinks and cash
Don’t forget the exodus of millions in cash being flown out of the country from Minneapolis to Somalia and El Shabob on a weekly basis.
As a LEGAL immigrant my family struggled to learn the language of our gratefully adopted country.Our goal was to assimilate and live the American dream and we have! Now immigrants don't even bother to learn our language English. Expect anD receive welfare and other "gimmi" programs. As a society why are we surprised when the immigrants never strive to get off welfare and or cheat the system with rampant fraud.
As usual your right on the point thanks keep up the good work!
a major source of inflation is unearned spending funded by government fraud as if the government doesn't have a bad enough reputation for inflation already
must be black hat day, better go get mine1
They believe everyone is honest and truthful. They, themselves, are not that way so why should all others be like that.
It takes a lot of gall to come to America and talk our system and culture down. Don’t like how we are, then don;’t come, stay home!
It was Biden’s intention to print more money and keep the economy going, so who was getting and spending the free money was no big deal! In this instance it was a Somali Community.
The fraud is the point. Read about the "Cloward-Piven" plan, but try to find the old explanation of the plan, not the whitewashed versions shown on Wikipedia and Google's AI. This plan was published by Francis Fox Piven and Richard Cloward, who were socialist activists in the 60's. The plan encouraged people to defraud America's welfare system to the point that it caused an economic collapse, which they hoped would be followed by a socialist revolution. Other plans involve other things we have seen, such as destroying America's values and morals by the normalization of aberrant behaviors, or the legalization/decriminalization of drugs, which would result in another form of social collapse. None of what is going on now is an accident.
Criminality is a "state of mind" not merely the actions of a criminal. Actions can be hidden, but the attitude of a "criminal state of mind" eventually reveals itself. Arrogance never sees why it should hide it's attitude or behaviors.
If we think it's wrong to judge people, then how do we identify and stop criminals? We are to assess the 'bad', bring it to the attention of the justice system, but we must allow Western rule of law to prosecute and condemn the criminal. But, if this is true, what to do with decades of criminality and corruption in our government, justice system and military? Trump decided to do something about decades of criminality and corruption in these areas and is now called a dictator. Are Westerners now that naive? That "willfully blind" to truth, reality and evidence? Apparently so.
Only Leftist Westerners will discuss their own demise to death! Literally. As is the case of some on the Right, but not typically the 'collective' Right. But, it's really both the 'collective' Left and Leftist individuals who seems, today, to try to make good look bad and bad look good. A man like Trump doesn't work their way so he's hated by the "virtue signalling" Left. Trump sees a problem and wants to immediately resolve it. He might be bombastic and a bit clownish, but anyone who is willing to take on the Criminal Shadow Government gets a bit of a pass from me. It's NOT something I'd want to do, though I like to throw my opinions in the the right regardless 🙂
Trump is just an identifiable body to hate … someone the Left can hone into and persuade via indoctrination and propaganda that he's a "bad man", so the herd mentality takes that on. Whereas, the real hatred of the Left is for Jesus Christ and the Holy Bible, White Christendom, White Christianity, and anyone (of any persuasion, who is basically good and decent), who would resist a Leftist 'corrupt' government, a Leftist justice system of "dear leaders" (e.g. Communist Atheism) and "tribal chiefs" (e.g. Islamic Paganism) and a Leftist military filled with "prancing X dressers, deviants, the degenerate, and the severely immature.".
Atheism "God's not the boss of me … I am!" teenager arrogance and rebellion against authority, especially toward their Creator Savior. No moral standards, each Atheist decides for himself or herself. No grasp of the spiritual realm, stuck in the physical and psychological realms.
Paganism "superstition", the collective seldom properly educated and, for the most part, Anti Christ, Anti Bible, etc. Spiritual, yes, but their 'little gods' are demonic, not from the Creator Savior. Voodooism is the most clear cut and severe example of Paganism.
False Christianity "false gospel, false theology, worldly and fleshly institutions", which leads people to "lifeless" religion, not to the person of the "resurrected and living" Jesus Christ.
New Testament Christianity leads only to Jesus. Only Jesus. Not religion. Not superstition. Not our own opinions.
Satanism is simply preferring our 'self' to the Risen Savior and Creator, Who gave us life and an earth to exist so we can learn certain things necessary to find our way into Heaven, rather than end up perishing (non-existence) or punishment (Hell). As long as we have more faith in our mortal human self rather than in an immortal God, we're bowing to Satan, even if we don't know it.
Its my damn tax dollar, im tired of loosing my money!
The whole damn democrat party is a culture of government parasitism. They see our tax money as income. It's not that the culture has flaws, it's a flawed culture.
The democrats are using immigrants to expand their voting base because people are fleeing the demcratic party in droves. Under Bidens watch, they essentially tried to add millions of new democratic voters from across the border without any checks and balances. It is no surprise that a republican administration would react the way that they have
I call this the "how not to wear a hat" episode.
Texas has embraced Hispanic and Tejano culture as part of our own, because it IS part of our culture.
VDH is a super optimistic
"no one's salary is dependent on whether they do a good or bad job." sounds like the philosophy at many public schools
Fraud. USAID too
I can deal with the propaganda you spew and chin on hand, but what's up with the silly hats?
It’s tough when a hard working, tax paying American in Minneapolis sees groups of Somalians driving new cars, getting free food, free housing, free healthcare and knowing 85% of them don’t work
While I agree with VDH, Dems are leading the midterm projections… by ALOT. I don't get it. Most voters are in the "what have you done for me lately" camp… which i also don't get.
Idea that government money given to people is productive to the society, disregards the SOURCE ( yours and My TAXES) of the money and the OVERHEAD ( cost of collecting, distributing and administration of the program).It is a negative result in the overall. unsustainable. Downward spiral. diminishing returns.
I call the democratic party the party of no accountability. NYC has no punishment if you steal up to $1,000, do graffiti, jump the turnstile, hit a cop, do drugs in the streets, allow fraud etc.
These people are still saying the Russion Collusion is real and Hunter's laptops weren't!😂😂😂😂
Word of the day is “assimilate!” As in AMERICA 1st or “Take your “a$$” back to wherever, “I’m late” cause there are too many people in our “sanctuary” cities…. You’re just here for the handouts!!!
Here is how the fraud worked. For over 10 years MN has some state employees in several state agencies that intentionally allowed billions of dollars to be stolen by fraud. These state employees were radicalized bureaucrats. The Governor, the Attorney General, and the Lieutenant Governor were told or warned about the fraud by other state employees AND DID NOTHING. No one was ever fired. State employees who voiced concerns were threatened and called racists. The billions of dollars went mostly to some Mpls groups who in turn donated back to Minnesota's predominant political party and MORE IMPORTANTLY guaranteed that party a voting block of tens of thousands of votes. All to keep that party in power. That’s how it worked.
VDH, as usual is exactly right!
I've always detested arrogance, lying, corruption, and people who are criminal minded. These are human flaws that Democrats embrace and are shameless about it. These are subhumans that are intolerable to me. If I could, I would eradicate them all.
I really don't think Democrats consider the fraud to be wrong – the issue for them is that it did the thing they want to do (distribute tax funds to their favored constituencies) against Rules that they deem arbitrary or discriminatory or at least arbitrary and discriminatory against the broader context of "historic injustices and oppression and colonialism and white supremacy."
How Democrats justify criminality in general: "If actor any shade of brown, then – No Crime Committed. If actor white, then – mere presence is criminal." Glad I could help.
You cant get rid of democrats but there actions are making them not so dug in after all a reason to believe.
Taxpayer's must revolt because it's their money. If they did revolt, the Government would do something. As long as the money keeps rolling in to the Government coffers, the criminals will keep doing the same thing.
Same problem here in Canada, liberals like spending other people's money.
Fraud is so blatant, broad, and commonplace in American culture that it is not only accepted, but expected as a function of government.
Listen to what Michelle Bachman has to say about the long history she experienced of fraud in Minnesota. She is very knowledgeable about the subject. She'd be an awesome person to talk to.
I do think Democrats justify fraud. It's basically postmodern ethics.
We need to bring honor back. There’s too much it’s-fine-if-I-get-away-with-it. From Wall Street to executive compensation to the media to fraud.
The left is morally bankrupt while congratulating itself for being morally superior.
The US somehow managed to produce obese "poor" people.
It’s all part of the Democrat MAGA (Make America Go Away 🤗).
