Ringleader Behind the Somali Fraud Scandal Says There's No Way that Tim Walz and Jihadi AG Keith Ellison Didn't Know She Was Stealing a Quarter Billion Dollars

That's what I say, too.

HOLY SHIT: Amiee Bock, the mastermind behind the $250 MILLION Somali fraud scandal in Minnesota, claims that top state officials, including Governor Tim Walz and AG Keith Ellison, KNEW about the fraud but did nothing to stop it.pic.twitter.com/kjlqf0FNR9

Jihadi antifa punk Keith Ellison says you can't trust a fraudster. Fair enough -- I trust my own common sense. There's no way you didn't know, dude.

A quarter. Of a Billion. Dollars.

You didn't know?

You seemed on top of the facts when the Somalis stealing this quarter of a billion dollars asked you to run interference for them in exchange for donations and political support:

BOMBSHELL AUDIO: Democrat AG Keith Ellison bragged about helping indict fraudsters who stole $250 million from a federal child nutrition program.

Fox Business News reporter Elizabeth MacDonald reports on -- get this -- "problems" in the paperwork regarding Ilhan Omar's and her "husband's" sudden $30 million overnight fortune.

Elizabeth MacDonald
@LizMacDonaldFOX

NEWS Major problems discovered in how Ilhan Omar and her husband went from just $16K net worth to suddenly skyrocketing to up to $30M in *just one year.* 1st, there are no SEC records that either her husband, his partner, or their investment firm are registered with the SEC as investment advisers.
The names "Rose Lake Capital" or "Rose Lake Capital LLC" and the names "Tim Mynett" and "Will Hailer" do not show up listed as registered investment advisers with the SEC. Major reporting also doesn't mention any SEC adviser registrations.

Mynett and his partner Hailer have little to no Wall Street experience. They co-founded a political consultancy in DC, E Street Group, and Mynett was a major Democrat fundraiser in Washington, D.C. for about 15 years, where he helped raise more than $100M for Democrats and worked on Omar's 2019 re-election.
Hailer spent nearly two decades in U.S. politics, especially within Democratic Party leadership, including as a senior advisor to the DNC chair.
Mynett's firm would typically be required to file Form ADV and register with the SEC. The reason there could be no SEC forms here may be because, to stay below reporting thresholds, it only advises a small number of high-net-worth or institutional clients, or it advises only VC firms, or it does not use leverage like hedge funds.

That all means his firm is pretty limited in scope-meaning, it still looks more to be a political advisory firm. Which begs the question: How did his limited firm go from little to no assets to $30M AUM in just one year? How did their net worth rocket from just $16K to $30M in just one year?

First, the winery. In 2020, Omar's husband Tim Mynett and his partner Will Hailer launched their California winery, eStCru. Ilhan Omar first disclosed that winery in her government financial disclosures in 2021, where she valued it at between $15K-$50K. She reported the same valuations for 2022 and 2023.

>b>In 2022, Mynett and Hailer then launched Rose Lake Capital, a venture capital management firm, aiming to do "global financial dealmaking." Documents show there is very little to no information about its actual clients, investments and deal history.

Omar valued Rose Lake at only between just one dollar to $1K in her 2022 filings. Omar reported the same valuation range in her 2023 government disclosures.

But then Omar suddenly reported valuations that rocketed higher in just one year, in 2024. Omar reported Rose Lake's value at between $5M--$25M and the winery between $1M--$5M -- contributing to a combined household asset range of $6M--$30M in Omar's 2025 filings.

37 Gosh this is OT, too good not to share before I get distracted. I just woke up with this thought rumbling through my head:

I have to wonder what is next for China. I think it possible that they will have forced "labor" camps. Think about it -- they have billionaires using USA surrogacy to create "mega-families" of 100's of children (emulating Genghis Kahn!) at very high cost. Those babies become USA citizens.

So now you take those children (male or female) and make them parents of more babies! By force! An entire parallel American population seeded by surrogacy, bred by force, and raised in China. Ready to move in and take over. What is to stop them?

The battle of USA dominance may come down to Chinese drone army v. muslim rat army.

90 50 >>> 30 The DOJ and ICE need to send an I-9 recertification letter to every one of the CEOs that signed that letter:

You have 60 days to recertify all of your employees are legal residents.

Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at January 26, 2026 01:30 PM (HXT0k)

Posted by: Helena Handbasket
======
I-9 forms are submitted by the employee to the employer individually. Have to be retained if a business wants to use safe harbor provisions of Simpson Mazzoli that they checked the id provided. After the employee is hired, then the law does not provide any means to recheck them for employers.

In fact, an employee that was presented with recertification could probably sue the employer for discrimination. Far safer to just fire the employee for other reasons.

How much is fine art worth? Well, whatever you pay for it. So get your target to paint some trash, or just get another friend to sell him actual art at a discount, then you buy it for a much higher amount.

That was my suggestion. Let the supplies go stale, sit out in the cold, the recruited go home to their states.

Let the rebels think they've won.

Come back in a 1-2 weeks. And start it again.

Because ICE has the power to be in the state regardless of Timmy.

Tucker or Bondi, it just is a matter of which one is current for the week of hate

"There was a riotous interlude while posters were ripped from the walls, banners torn to shreds and trampled underfoot. The Spies performed prodigies of activity in clambering over the rooftops and cutting the streamers that fluttered from the chimneys. But within two or three minutes it was all over. The orator, still gripping the neck of the microphone, his shoulders hunched forward, his free hand clawing at the air, had gone straight on with his speech. One minute more, and the feral roars of rage were again bursting from the crowd. The Hate continued exactly as before, except that the target had been changed."

Tuesday night, Figueroa near 7th. I was walking my beat.
Blonde in a red coat stepped out, matched my stride.
I beat her to the corner.
I beat her past the newsstand.
I beat her to the alley.
She stopped. Hands up.
"You're under arrest," I said. "Jaywalking and trying to outrun an officer on his beat."
No fuss. Just the facts.
I beat her back to the car. Side by side.

248 True. Tough case to make, but a subpoena for emails, phone records, personal accounts, etc. should make that pretty easy... if they're guilty.

They are part of a fraud involving electronic communications - which means they can be indicted and tried anywhere wires reach in the United States. That includes EastRedneck, TX, where finding a grand jury to indict them, and a jury to convict those thieving assholes ought not be very difficult.

The idiot woman and Walz were campaigning on stolen funds, hoping that winning the race meant no investigation, and that trouble would be on their doorstep if they lost.

Trump was campaigning, knowing that if he lost, he would be imprisoned.

Not really. Law enforcement, justice, etc. are essential functions so remain in operations. Most of the social services are already funded for FY2026. This will hurt the bureaucrats in DC more than anything and VA elections aren't going to matter in 2026.

By doing the minibus where the House took groups of three regular procedure bills and combined them means that the Democrats will hurt their own more than law enforcement. Education and Health, Transportation, Labor, and Homeland Security. DoJ is funded, so is the DoW.

You read some of that Reddit thread, too? I wouldn't be surprised if AWFL army and DEI army within the DMV are registering foreigners to vote without their knowledge.

If foreigner objects on those grounds, it comes down to a he-said/she-said, and alien's gonna lose every time. His signature is on the form. Too bad you were sold out by insurrectionist Americans. And ts for AWFL and DEI army, losing a vote fraud mechanism.

People have been saying that for a long time but it hasn't happened yet. The filibuster is too valuable to them. As long as they can get Republicans to betray their voters, the Democrats will eventually get what they want.

271 ICE isn't leaving MN, or anywhere else. It's a national agency with field offices in most major metros. None of that changes. Almost surely none of the "surge" of personnel in ICE to MN changes, not now.

CBP and Bureau of Prisons personnel have been surged to Mpls mostly to provide security for ICE doing arrests.

The "deal" as laid out by the WH is comprehensive. Full cooperation WRT illegal alien criminals or suspects in custody or not, meaning turning them over to ICE, which is the norm.

And it's impossible to imagine MplsPD will get/have any role in shooting investigation(s) beyond whatever might have been allowed in the past in other similar situations.

Carry on.

304 290 Any "withdrawal" from MN would almost surely mean the extra CBP/Bureau of Prisons/etc bodies sent there to provide support will be withdrawn, because they won't be needed. Because local PD/sheriffs will provide normal support.

This would, I think, be a full surrender, a la September 2, 1945 on the USS Missouri, for the vile buffoon Walz. Difficult to imagine he'll do this, but we'll see soon.

Posted by: rhomboid at January 26, 2026 02:05 PM (U/Byj)

If that's the outline, then yes. This is a complete surrender by Walz.

We'll get narrative about TACO and Trump conceding or something, but Minnesota interacting with DHS like Texas does is a win.

319 ICE/CBP/border barriers/etc are I believe funded through 2028 (should remember, just read the language last night).

Rest of DHS, including our beloved TSA, is funded by bills currently under consideration. "Shutdown" would not directly affect immigration enforcement.

A rescission would be needed to "defund" ICE etc. at this point. Ain't happening.

Some day perhaps I will understand how TF a reconciliation bill appropriated $$, which is entirely outside its role in the Budget Act, and how it was used since that Act became law. Or I won't. Just glad it's the case, apparently, in this situation.

But not in government. In government, you just walk through the door and dip your cup in the money river. Hang around long enough, and you can build a lock on it, with a sluice in it that runs straight into your bank account.

381 Thanks, Ace. I haven't told you I loved you yet today, so there it is.

With all this MN fraud the national debt suddenly made sense to me. Not that math is my strong suit whatsoever, but it never made sense. I figured the traditional political pork spending kick backs, that there were huge reasons still missing.

This MN fraud has opened my eyes to what has happened to taxpayer money in all Dim states, maybe others with money laundering abilities to funnel the money back to Somolia as well as dirty US politicians.

To think I used to raise hell about Mexico receiving tax free remittances (in 2024:$62.5-$64.7 billion to Mexico). They only started taxing it this month, as far as I know. I was hollering about this twenty years ago as a key board warrior. Senator Rubio probably knew me by name as I'd report to him, almost to the dollar, what FL households paid for illegals.

This fraud makes a dent in the trillions of debt and explains a lot.

I hope with all my wicked heart that Ellison, Walz, and others are perp walked. Or simply gone.

I pray that this is the beginning of the end of the insurrection and internal war. It is a huge answer to questions.

Status of State Medicaid Expansion Decisions
Published: Jan 14, 2026

The Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) Medicaid expansion expanded Medicaid coverage to nearly all adults with incomes up to 138% of the Federal Poverty Level ($21,597 for an individual in 2025) and provided states with an enhanced federal matching rate (FMAP) for their expansion populations.

To date, 41 states (including DC) have adopted the Medicaid expansion and 10 states have not adopted the expansion. Current status for each state is based on KFF tracking and analysis of state expansion activity.

These data are also available in a table format. The map may be downloaded as a Powerpoint.

Same as Green Nude Eel, Obamacare, etc. And anyone trying to get it reviewed by courts has the problem of a) standing, and b) political question. Basically, Congress can pass whatever bill in whatever format it chooses and previous acts by Congress do not constrain the current Congress from passing bills outside of its framework.

Spending, taxing, and borrowing powers of Congress are plenary and have been since it was ratified.

I am impressed that despite the small majority, Speaker Johnson returned to regular order where the committees marked up the bills, appropriations fixed revenue to recommended spending, etc. And the Biden era baselines will be dead even if the Democrats gain a house or so in 2026.

I saw a photo of Pretti, unsure if photo shopped but if so, "pretty" good! In a hot pink dress walking up stairs. So maybe he was more invested in the "cause" than originally thought as a martyr for VA nurses. I have no idea, but figured I'd mention seeing the photo today.

443 "Dip your cup in the money river" is a decent metaphor.

Take me to the river, dunk me in the water...

So the witches wearing a rag on their heads. Do they ever wash their hair and the nasty rags they wear.

I bet they stink to high heaven.

I'm not positive if it was real, but think Omar protested, so maybe: under that turban the hair is sparse and weird looking. I think that's why she wears the turban (or it made her bald?) vs being cultural cobra.

I know I want her deported along with her gang of fellow Somilians. GET OUT!
