JD Vance: California's Fraud Dwarfs Minnesota's

He says it totals $7 billion which is less than the number we've heard regarding Minnesota -- $9 billion.

Maybe Minnesota's $9 billion in fraud is what we speculate we'll ultimately find, while the current known fraud is, what, a billion? He seems to mean we know California is defrauding the US for $7 billion and the ultimate tally will be much higher.

Vice President JD Vance revealed that about $7 billion worth of fraud has been discovered in California.
"I think we have a fraud problem that is much worse than California than it is in Minnesota," Vance said in an interview Thursday, noting the head of US Small Business Administration gave him the shocking news.
"This is unfortunately a problem that is much bigger than Minnesota."
The vice president also said efforts to block immigration enforcement were a uniquely blue-state phenomenon, adding that some Democratic-led states are engaged in a "small-scale civil war" with the federal government over immigration.
...
The Trump administration has also paused federal child care funding to Minnesota, blaming alleged fraud in daycare programs, and has imposed new documentation requirements -- including attendance records and receipts -- before releasing payments to any state, CBS reported.
...
Vance pointed to Don Lemon and other protestors storming a church in Minnesota as well as the killing of Renee Goode, saying "a small band of very far-left people" are trying to make ICE "the ultimate enemy," including through assaults on officers and raids on churches.
"It's absurd," he said. "It's added a lot of chaos."

The Democrat Party is causing the chaos, to create an argument for returning them to power-- "We'll stop the chaos."

But you're the ones causing the chaos.

It's like the old bit about the man who murders his parents, and then pleads for the mercy of the court, saying that he's an orphan.

The Democrat Party has created a huge block of voters dependent on their enabling of fraud at an industrial scale. Looters are now a huge political constituency.

And to make that point: You can't cover stories in Minneapolis without fraudulent Somali "day cares" and "patient transport services" in the background of your photos.

You can’t show a random video from the streets of Minneapolis without capturing a 7 figure Somali fraud operation. https://t.co/1NQvSxlsGn pic.twitter.com/nuHNb9OX0o

Minneapolis's primary industry is government fraud.

Can't wait to see what California's doing.

Meanwhile: Democrats rush to give illegals the vote.

Look, I'm not a mind reader. I have to infer intentions from patterns like everyone else. But there's virtually no daylight between the behavior you'd expect from a party that wants illegal immigrants to vote and the behavior of the Democratic Party. https://t.co/llS1pdELkB

35 From Fox,
"Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino, the face of the Trump administration's campaign to arrest and deport criminal illegal immigrants, will be leaving Minnesota, along with some border agents, amid violent, and sometimes deadly, clashes between federal authorities and anti-ICE agitators.

Bovino and an unspecified number of U.S. Border Patrol agents will be leaving the state as soon as Tuesday, multiple federal sources told Fox News.

The news came the same day that President Donald Trump announced that he would be deploying border czar Tom Homan to take point in Minnesota. "

So Bovino is not being removed as head of Border Patrol but rather reassigned from control of the MN situation while Homan takes over.

44 There is a worse problem here.

Several blue states are functionally bankrupt. A big part of the reason is they have promised unsustainable spending. They decided to keep their foolish promises by getting more and more federal funding. The state gets a "cut" of those dollars, so to the extent there are 500 Quality Learing Centers, spending $500 million, the state can siphon of $50 million.

I believe this is WHY the COVID crises was prolonged - special COVID spending kept these states afloat. So, keeping things closed reduced their spending, at the same time they got more funds.

Functional bankruptcy is driving a lot of this.

46 The most common scam in California is this:

Average adult. Not disabled, not crazy,. not blind, totally able-bodied. Has live-in sex/life partner, married or otherwise, also not disabled.

One of the couple goes to a crooked psych doctor (but they all are) and after one session of self-diagnosis, gets a bogus (but offcial) Rx diagnosis of some jive-ass mental disorder, like ADHD or Disassociated Identity Disorder (a.k.a. Multiple Personality Disorder), or dyslexia or autism or some shit.

With this official dignosis in hand, they then go to the state and get officially classified as "disabled." As a result, get a massive truckload of benefits -- cash, privileges, deferments, free stuff -- you name it.

But that's just the beginning. The setup for the real scam.

You see, the goal is to get "in-home support," in whcih the state pays for a full-time caretaker for you, the disabled person. And if you know the system, you are allowed to specify whom you want to be your in-home nurse. And guess whom they choose?

Their live-in partner.

Who then becomes annointed as a full-time "caretaker," and is paid a full-time salary by the state for doing so.

55 Keep in mind, all this fraud requires increases in government workers to administer all of it.

Say, for every new $5 million spent, that requires a new worker.
$9 billion in fraud means you could estimate that 1,800 MN state employees are the ones hired solely to administer the fraud.

MN Dept. of Health is 1500 to 2000.
MN Dept of Human Services is 7,100.

Almost 20% of the staff of those two combined ....
100% reliable Dem voters.
The median salary of MN DHS is $71k.
$127 million* every year, minimum, in fraud-admin salaries.

That's how bonkers off-the-charts the fraud is--it is EVERYTHING to the MN Democrats.

*Imagine the size of a corporation that has $127 million in salaries. And this is just one department in one state.
That's how much the burden is on taxpayers.

Set in the period of the Old West, the series follows the adventures of Paladin, played by Boone, a gentleman investigator who also works as a gunfighter for hire. Although Paladin charges steep fees to clients who can afford to hire him, typically $1,000 per job, he provides his services for free to poor people who need his help.

They added a trillion to the federal budget under Obama, TARP spending that became baseline, to prop up all this blue state fraud.

Then they added another trillion baseline under Biden, for Covid, to further prop up all this blue state fraud.

So, basically, two trillion MF'ing dollars every f'ing year of the federal budget is fraud laundered to prop up blue states and Democrats.

But when the people of the western Carolinas were living in tents over the winter ... there was no money to help them.

And it's completely baked-in to how the state operates.

I was contemplating the rather impressive L.A. freeway system recently and how it is now virtually impossible to carry out an infrastructure project of that magnitude now given the widescale graft and corruption at the very heart of how the state functions.

I keep ramming up against this annoying point in every issue. Illegal immigration? There's been illegal immigrants since day one. Nobody gives a shit unless they're forced to give a shit. Going 100% "Arrest Every Illegal" would be a damn trainwreck, but that doesn't mean you can let it become so endemic that it actually starts affecting people's lives tangibly. And you *definitely* can't fucking brag about it.

Look at speed limits. You want to live in a place that has a speed camera every fifteen feet and you get whacked for every one you go past at 0.01 mph over the limit? Hell no. Nobody wants to live in that world.

But we've pushed wayyyyyy way past the bounds of reasonable "prosecutorial discretion" into the world of "There Is No Law, Unless We Just Don't Like You Today", which is basically what they mean by Anarcho-tyranny, isn't it?

136 Or older Paladin usage (trips down internet search lanes are fun) ...

"The Paladins, also called the Twelve Peers (French: Douze Pairs), are twelve legendary knights, the foremost members of Charlemagne's court in the 8th century. They first appear in the medieval (12th century) chanson de geste cycle of the Matter of France, where they play a similar role to the Knights of the Round Table in Arthurian romance.[1] In these romantic portrayals, the chivalric paladins represent Christianity against a Saracen (Muslim) invasion of Europe. The names of the paladins vary between sources, but there are always twelve of them (a number with Christian associations) ...

Modern depictions of paladins are often an individual knight-errant holy warrior or combat healer, influenced by the paladin character class that appeared in Dungeons & Dragons in 1975."

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know.
This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

Refusing tells us what WE already know.

151 How many billions did Newsom openly steal with the high speed rail project which after a decade has laid no rail?

152 > Yep. CARB-compliant gas which is so rarely refined outside of California in the US that it is cheaper to import the fuel from India and South Korea. At least, up until now.

157 My fringe theory that probably isn't correct:

Frey and Walz were "in on" the fraud, but only a tiny bit, only just enough to get the right people in the right rooms and the right names on the right pieces of paper, and they are only just now learning that what they thought was no big deal, a couple bucks on the side, was a massive, gigantic fucking deal.

I think they're a couple of patsies and idiots who have been riding a wave and feathering their nests. I think probably most Dem pols are patsies and idiots riding a wave. They're not masterminds, they probably watch CNN and Fuck Snooze and actually, honestly, truly believe what they see.

You can't rig an election if you have an up to date and reviewed voter list. You can if you don't.
Posted by: 18-1 at January 26, 2026 07:13 PM (sKqQm)

It's Retard Speak, not English. You can't just go assigning the normal meanings to words, here.

Rigging elections means voter suppression, which is the magic word for "Wypipo don' let blakfoke vote don't worry about how". ICE comes in, prints out the voter roles, then erases all the Muhammeds and D'Flannershplorps (damn that was a crap attempt at a Black Name, i'll try better next time) with the shitty eraser off a #2 Ticonderoga, and Ta-Da, you got yourself a Rigged Election. Because once you erase little Omar and Ja'Squonk (eh, better... not great) off that magic paper printout, they no longer exist.

That's what she means.

Currency is just paper now. And credits ... try controlling that. You'd have to try to control something more - real. More tangible.

192 A Shasta County man who had reportedly been active in local right-wing politics was arrested last week with a bunker and large cache of illegal weapons, according to authorities. California Highway Patrol officers arrested Michael Jay Kamfolt, 40, on 11 weapons charges on Thursday, including possession of a stolen firearm and armor-penetrating ammunition, according to a press release. Authorities said they found an underground bunker accessed through a 100-foot-long tunnel and approximately 10,000 rounds of ammunition.

I expressed how much Minneapolis has benefited from our immigrant communities and was clear that my main ask is that Operation Metro Surge needs to end. The president agreed the present situation can’t continue.

I read somewhere within the last day or two that the Minnesota DFL Party had originally wanted to hook Laos' Hmong people in the 70s and 80s as their new "little brown brothers" to swap in for Hispanics, who the DFL saw at that time as wandering off their dependency plantation in the not too distant future. But the Hmong were having none of that, being a proud, forthright and capable people.

So the DFL cast about for a replacement population and eventually latched on to the intellectually challenged Somalis. And the rest is history.
