Did you know that Minnesota is still funneling money to a Feeding Our Future fraudster who is awaiting trial from stealing millions of dollars?

I bet you didn’t, nor would you have suspected it. He is able to do that because in addition to stealing money from a program that was supposed to feed children during the COVID pandemic, his shell company also owns assisted living facilities that are fraudulently taking money from Medicaid. 





A man awaiting trial for his alleged role in the nation’s largest COVID scam is to this day billing the government millions for dubious services.

The man indicted in the Feeding Our Future scandal, in which Somali nationals billed the government to provide millions of non-existent meals for the needy, is currently operating multiple assisted living homes in which adults live and receive on-demand services at taxpayer expense. That’s according to Minnesota lawmaker Kristin Robbins, a Republican who chairs the House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Policy Committee, which was set up in response to more than a billion dollars of fraud in roughly the last six years.

The person is Gandi Yusuf Mohamed, who later changed his name to Gandi Abdi Kediye. “In February 2024, this person was indicted and charged for $1.1 million in money laundering in Feeding Our Future,” Robbins said at a hearing. “This person was paid an additional $49 million for other state programs between 2019 and 2024. This person will have their trial in 2026.”

The suspected fraudster donated the maximum permitted campaign contribution of $2,500 to Minnesota’s Democrat attorney general Keith Ellison, according to a 2024 Minnesota Reformer article. That article quoted a Republican lawmaker explicitly calling on state authorities to review his contracts, yet he continued to operate. The federal Department of Justice said that Mohamed’s brother was also part of the Feeding Our Future scheme.





As insane as this sounds, it really shouldn’t surprise us, given the fact that the fraud is not limited to one or two of the welfare programs in the state (or in other states, for that matter); every single program is set up to ensure that fraud is easy, and the politicians in charge are determined to keep the money flowing at all costs. 

We all know exactly why keeping the money flowing is important: it helps fund Democratic Party candidates throughout the nation, both with contributions we see on the books, and through “smurfing” operations that funnel money using the identities of “donors” who have no idea that their names are being used by others to hide the actual source of the money. 

Smurfing is another scam that nobody in the media wants to touch, despite everybody knowing that it happens on a massive scale. Reporting on it would hurt the Democrats, so it is a non-issue. 

Pravda. 

When you steal $10 billion, the money doesn’t just go into your pockets. Some of it flows to Somalia, where remittances from abroad account for somewhere between 30% and 45% of GDP, and some flows to candidates who keep the scams going. 





There is much that is infuriating here, but one is the fact that it is only getting attention now. Most people think that big revelations are coming out, but some legislators and others have been working to expose the issue for years. Last year the Republicans created a fraud committee that has been systematically investigating the fraud, and the local media, with some exceptions, have spent an enormous amount of effort “debunking” claims rather than investigating them. 

To give credit where credit is due, some reporters DID try to blow the whistle, but their colleagues buried the story.

Their source? The governor and his cronies. Who are you going to believe, the US Attorney, who says half of all Medicaid spending is fraudulent and that the system was set up to allow fraud, the Republicans, or the people accused of arranging it? 

The fraudsters, of course. Look away, nothing to see here. Governor Walz says so. Now let’s go eat some Somali food and campaign in Somali. 





I don’t know why Nick Shirley’s video created the firestorm at this time, although I am thrilled that it finally broke through. Republicans have known about this for years, and some have tried to fight it, while others shrug and give up. I know one legislative staffer who said, “Nobody cares about fraud” when a legislator tried to make it a central issue. 

At the time, they were right, unfortunately. There is no excuse for giving up, but they spent their bandwidth elsewhere. 

Shirley’s video shows the power of X. Careful investigations, prosecutions, and press conferences from the US Attorney and legislative hearings had zero effect. As the hearings were taking place, Tim Walz ran for Vice President, and NOBODY in the media covered the allegations. They covered up instead. 





The evidence was there. Far from being isolated, the scale of the fraud is staggering. Literally in the billions of dollars, and the money is still flowing. And no doubt flowing into national Democrats’ coffers. 

When a fraudster under indictment is still getting millions of dollars from the state for “adult day care” after it’s clear that he participated in the largest (so far) COVID fraud in the country, you know that the people writing the checks want the money to keep flowing. 

Yet the media tells us that all the allegations are bunk. Jurors are bribed, judges throw out cases despite jury verdicts of “Guilty,” and the only cases that seem to go anywhere are federal. 

It’s hard to conclude that this is anything but a massive conspiracy that is still going on, and that Democrat-aligned Pravda Media are doing their best to keep it going. 

Just as they did with USAID. 





The largest funder of the Democratic Party will likely turn out to be government fraud, funneled through programs like Medicaid. 

When CBS does an “investigation” into allegations that amount to “Tim Walz’s administration told us that everything is OK, you know that journalism isn’t being done. The reporters are in on the cover-up.

“It didn’t happen. The accused said so!” As if Walz and company would say anything else. 

We need to wrap our heads around the fact that every single program is exploited to fund the NGO-Democrat-organized crime triangle. That is what they exist to do, with funding some legitimate facilities as a cost of doing business. 

Have you ever wondered why billions of dollars are spent on homelessness with no results? Same thing. It’s a scam. 

It is all scams, all the way down.
