Summary

Massive Welfare Fraud in Minnesota Funding Terrorism
- Allegations that Minnesota taxpayers indirectly funded the terrorist group Al-Shabab through fraudulent welfare programs.
- Fraud reportedly involved members of the Somali community, with billions of dollars stolen and millions sent to Somalia, some ending up with Al-Shabaab.
- The program cited is Minnesota’s Medicaid Housing Stabilization Services (HHS), which ballooned from an estimated $2.6 million to over $104 million annually before being scrapped.
- Criminal indictments have been announced, but the commentary criticizes lack of media coverage and political accountability.
University of Minnesota’s “Whiteness Pandemic” Concept
- The university published material describing “whiteness” as a cultural pandemic driving racism.
- Family systems perpetuate whiteness and calls for self-reflection and re-education for white individuals.
- The commentary strongly condemns this as Marxist, anti-family, and anti-American ideology, framing it as indoctrination in higher education.
Texas Designates Muslim Brotherhood and CARE as Terrorist Organizations
- Texas Governor Greg Abbott declared CARE (Council on American-Islamic Relations) and the Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist and transnational criminal organizations.
- This move prevents these groups from acquiring land in Texas.
- The discussion highlights CARE’s alleged financial support for anti-Israel campus protests and the broader legislative push to federally designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization.
- Mentions bipartisan efforts in Congress (Senators Ted Cruz and John Fetterman) and resistance from the State Department.
