@nytimes@TheAthletic The only thing truly problematic about America is the number of self-hating dipshits who refuse to appreciate its greatness.

🚨 BREAKING: Sen. Josh Hawley just pushed for a CRIMINAL INDICTMENT against Minnesota AG Keith Ellison because he tried HELPING fraudster avoid being caught
"You took $10,000 from them 9 days after the meeting!"
"YOU helped fraudsters defraud the state of $9B, and you got a FAT campaign contribution out of it! You ought to be INDICTED!"
"They BEGGED you to help them — and YOU AGREED TO IT! It's ALL ON TAPE."
"You said: send me the names of these folks investigating them. YOU SAID IT. 'I'll take the list, call the person at Education, and say, what's going on?!'"
"They CAME to you asking for help getting investigators off their backs!"
"Why'd you do it, why'd you help them?!"
ELLISON: "I didn't do it!"
HAWLEY: "That's not you? Is that a ventriloquist?! BS!"
He's right, Ellison MUST be held accountable!
BREAKING: Jim Jordan just EXPOSED the massive Feeding Our Future fraud in today's House Oversight hearing.
Convicted ringleaders Aimee Bock and Salim Said ran a $250M scam stealing taxpayer money meant for feeding kids, all the while no kids got fed.
Minnesota Dems suspended payments in 2021 over clear fraud flags from whistleblowers.
But after threats of lawsuits accusing racism, and a recorded meeting where AG Keith Ellison promised to "fight" state agencies to keep the money flowing, payments resumed.
Weeks later, Ellison's campaign got donations from people in that very meeting.
This wasn't oversight failure, it was active assistance, political payoffs, and playing the race card to cover billions shaken from federal programs. Dems didn't just ignore the fraud. They helped it along for votes and cash.
Now Walz and Ellison are called to testify next month. Accountability is coming.

My Venezuela experience as head of trading in the region for Cargill.
Cargill was/is the leading producer of critical staple ingredients such as flour, pasta, vegetable oil, and rice in VZ. I am not saying I agree with grabbing the dictator, but I did have a front row seat to the damage a kleptocracy did to innocent people.
1. The government took over our "minute rice" facility at gunpoint because we were "gouging" the nation's poor. The government was never able to run the plant. It never ran again. It was returned years later with no equipment inside
2. There are 1000's of generals in the army. They are each given a slice of the economy to loot. The large number of generals made it difficult to organize a coup against the regime.
3. The government opened grocery stores and sold staples below the cost we sold them to the government. In theory they used petro oil money to lower grocery prices. Our regular grocery outlets were forced out of business. When the government demanded we sell them products below cost we simply had to shut down. The populous became ever more dependent on the government handouts. (PS this is the mayor of New York City's proposal.
4. Dollars- We needed dollars to go buy raw materials like wheat from places like the US and Canada. The government would periodically allocate us some dollars that could only be spent for raw materials and freight. Eventually only the local companies that can and would pay bribes got dollar allocations. We had several facilities closed for lack of raw material
5. My employees liked working for Cargill. The office was an armed compound with access to a gym, high speed internet, global communications, and a weekly box of basic staples. Cargill provided a safe and secure environment if only for the working hours.
6. Employees became very close to others inside the apartment building. Going out on the street with a desperate population was not advisable.
7. I needed wood pallets for feed. We tried to export wood pallets to swap for grain. We refused to pay the bribes it would take to export the pallets
8. I once tried to set up a closed loop wheat planting to flour mill supply chain. A. They came and stole all the seed wheat for food. When we tried to ship in seed wheat in containers via US donors there was no way to get it out of the port without it being stolen
9. Livestock- Our feed business completely collapsed. Even if you could raise a pig, you couldn't defend it from being stolen. People with guns were hungry.
10. Employees- In the end my highly skilled team alone with other highly educated people chose to leave. Cargill often found jobs for them in other Latin countries. The regime was more than happy to see the well-educated leave the country. Setting these employees up with high quality stable jobs after fleeing remains one of the best things I ever did in my career. No one remembers millions in trading earnings.
This is a short list. In my opinion the first money spent needs to happen now and it needs to be food. The US is already on the clock. The current regime does not care if it starves the population. The orgy of theft will actually accelerate if they believe their days are numbered. VZ should be an outstanding customer of US grown ag products. Rice, bread wheat, veg oil ect. Feed the people first.

NEW: Man explains exactly how he stumbled upon an alleged multi-billion dollar fraud scheme in Minnesota to @nickshirleyy.
"I would see these childcare centers, I said, 'Well, there aren't any kids there. It's the middle of the day.'"
"I started to see all these transportation companies going around, and it was always a Somali driver ... But they never had a passenger, never ever once."
"There's one building that has 14 Somali health care companies at the same address. There's another building in St. Paul that has 22 Somali health care businesses at the same address."
"What has happened is that the Somali community is a very closed... They will not speak to anyone outside the community..."
Insane.

🚨 Here is the full 42 minutes of my crew and I exposing Minnesota fraud, this might be my most important work yet. We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day. Like it and share it around like wildfire! Its time to hold these corrupt politicians and fraudsters accountable
We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening, the fraud must be stopped.
A doozy of a press conference by First Assistant U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson just pegged the cost of the Medicaid programs scrutinized for fraud in Minnesota at $18 billion with the possibility half is fraudulent. More to come….
