$250 Million Dollar Scam Enabled by Fear of Being Called Names

Seems like I've heard this story before. More on that later, but first from The Other McCain: The $250,000,000 Scandal That’s Wrecking Minnesota Democrats

A group of non-profits, aided by government lackeys who turned a blind eye, stole $250 million from a COVID program that was supposed to feed poor kids. Instead of feeding children, they made themselves rich.

In defending themselves against accusations of administrative negligence, Walz and the state department of education say they tried to cut off payment to Feeding Our Future, but that the non-profit responded with a lawsuit falsely claiming racial discrimination.

Wait a minute — Democrats admitting that false cries of “racism” are used to exploit the system? Wow, it’s a new day in America.

It was a gift to the Somali community in Minnesota from the Democrats running the state to ensure that they kept getting the votes from that community.

“Let’s give millions of dollars in taxpayer money to Somalis” — that’s what this “child nutrition” program was really about, and which party do you think this political payola was meant to benefit? The problem was that the corruption was just too blatant, what with the “luxury cars, houses, jewelry, and coastal resort property,” to say nothing of the “ornamental cart laden with gold,” and at some point somebody at Minnesota’s department of education got worried about it. Eventually, they tipped the feds to their concerns and tried to halt the payments to Aimee Bock’s organization, but when this was answered by a racial discrimination lawsuit, they restarted the payments, and the “child nutrition” bonanza continued right up until the feds raided Bock.

Now the governor's race in Minnesota is close, but I don't expect the Republican to win, because whatever else the people of Minnesota want, they want, above all else, for the world to know that they are Progressive. And you don't signal your Progressive Credentials in Minnesota by voting for the Republicans.

There is more if you click thru, including a link to the DOJ webpage where a news release detailing the indictment is posted.

As for the "fear of being called racist," and what it does to law enforcement and politicians, you should look up the UK's 40 year history with grooming gangs. The cops ignored 100s of young girls being raped and trafficked because they didn't want to seem racist for investigating gangs of men who were predominantly Muslim. Law enforcement didn't enforce the law for fear of being called names. The future is stupid.
