[FoxNews] Abdirashid Ismail Said allegedly ran multiple Medicaid-funded agencies despite being barred after a prior fraud conviction
A man accused of orchestrating an $11 million Medicaid fraud scheme in Minnesota skipped a scheduled court appearance this week, prompting a warrant for his arrest, authorities said.
Abdirashid Ismail Said, 50, failed to appear for a pretrial hearing in Hennepin County, forfeiting his bond, according FOX 9, citing the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office.
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said in a statement that his office is working with federal authorities to locate Said.
What odds he absconded for faraway Somalia?
Said posted a $150,000 unconditional bond to avoid stricter conditions, including surrendering his passport, while a $50,000 conditional bond would have required it, according to FOX 9. Investigators also raised concerns about Said’s potential to flee, citing family ties abroad, according to FOX 9.
Prosecutors charged Said with racketeering and multiple counts of aiding and abetting theft by swindle in an alleged scheme that defrauded Minnesota’s Medicaid program of nearly $11 million, according to a criminal complaint.
The complaint alleges Said carried out the scheme from 2019 through 2023 by secretly operating multiple Medicaid-funded home health care agencies despite being barred from working with such programs after a prior fraud conviction.
Prior? That sounds like a pattern that could have been predicted, had Minnesota cared about predicting such things.
Authorities said Said and his co-conspirators billed Medicaid for services that were never provided, weren’t properly recorded or were backed by fake paperwork. Investigators also allege the group billed for services that weren’t eligible for payment and charged more than they should have.
According to court documents, the scheme involved millions of dollars in fraudulent billing, including more than $4.6 million paid to one agency based on falsified documentation. Investigators also found nearly $1 million was billed for clients who denied receiving services, along with more than $300,000 in overbilling and more than $5.8 million in claims that were not documented or were fraudulently documented.
Court records show Said was convicted of Medicaid fraud in 2022, ordered to pay $77,000 and barred from working with any Medicaid-funded agency, a restriction prosecutors allege he later violated.
The case has raised new concerns about oversight of taxpayer-funded programs, as state leaders, including Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison, have faced mounting criticism over their handling of fraud in Minnesota.
The development comes amid broader concerns over fraud in Minnesota, including the sprawling Feeding Our Future case, in which prosecutors allege defendants created fake meal programs and fraudulently claimed more than $250 million in federal funds.
Former acting U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson has suggested fraud across some programs could total billions of dollars, potentially reaching $9 billion.
State officials have faced ongoing questions about oversight of taxpayer-funded programs, with critics pointing to additional fraud cases involving Medicaid and welfare spending.
So does the Trump administration. In fact, wasn’t Health and Human Services going to cut Minnesota off until the fraudsters were caught and made to cough up their ill-gotten gains, or something like that?

Netanyahu's aide did the same thing, fleeing abroad after being caught in a routine sting operation in Las Vegas. He was trying to meet a little girl for sex and had condoms on him. Why? children can't get pregnant and don't have venereal disease because they're virgins.
A federal judge released him and gave him his passport back, which is nearly never done due to the extreme flight risk. The other suspects caught in the same sting are still in jail, including a Christian pastor.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] At least three elderly people were injured in a stabbing spree by a man who claimed to be 'Lucifer' inside tourist-heavy Grand Central Terminal in Midtown Manhattan.
Two men aged 65 and 85, who were not identified, were taken to the hospital in critical condition by the fire department after being slashed in the head on Saturday morning.
A third person, a 70-year-old woman, was also attacked.
Officers fatally shot machete-wielding Anthony Griffen, 44, while he was repeatedly shouting that he was 'Lucifer,' police commissioner Jessica Tisch said at a press conference Saturday afternoon.
He was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
He has three prior arrests, according to Tisch. It is unclear what for.
Three train lines - the 4, 5, and 6 - were disrupted in the aftermath and not stopping at the popular station, which is one of the busiest stations in the US.
Tisch said officers found Griffen on the platform, acting 'erratically' and refusing to drop his machete. Police ordered the man to drop the weapon at least 20 times, the commissioner added.
'Officers also tried to deescalate and offer assistance, saying: "We are going to get you help,"' Tisch said.
Griffen then 'advanced toward the officers with the knife extended,' causing one officer to fire two shots toward the criminal.
Griffen initially entered the subway system in Queens at Vernon Boulevard station, where he took the 7 train to Grand Central.
After arriving to the Midtown Manhattan station, he slashed one person on the 7 train before going upstairs to the 4/5/6 platform and harmed two more people, Tisch said.
The 85-year-old victim suffered serious laceration to the head and face on the 7 train platform. The 65-year-old man suffered a skull fracture on the 4/5/6 platform, authorities said.
The third victim suffered a shoulder laceration, also on the 4/5/6 platform.
'Their injuries are not believe to be life-threatening at this time,' Tisch said.
The incident comes after Mayor Zohran Mamdani, a Democratic Socialist, said last week that the Big Apple had a gun violence problem after a seven-month-old baby was fatally shot in the head in Brooklyn.
'We cannot accept it as normal in our city. We cannot grow numb to this pain,' he said. 'Today is a devastating reminder of just how much more work there is to be done to combat gun violence across the city.
'Too many children have never grown up into becoming adults. Too many parents who’ve had to bury those they love most.'
Kaori Patterson-Moore was shot dead while parents Jamari Patterson, 22, and Lianna Moore, 20, and brother, Kaizen, were strolling through Brooklyn on April 1.
The parents had been taking their kids to buy baby supplies when the shooting happened around 1.20pm.
They had originally thought someone had set off fireworks, which had caused her son to hop out of the stroller.
The family fled into a nearby bodega before Moore noticed her daughter's head was bleeding, surveillance footage obtained by the New York Post showed.
She was later pronounced dead at a nearby hospital after her father ran her there.
Despite the two violent incidents, statistics show that crime is down 5.7 percent in NYC.
However, shooting victims are up 2.3 percent and shooting incidents are up 1.4 percent compared to last year, NYPD statistics showed.
Governor Kathy Hochul said she has been briefed on Saturday's stabbing, calling it a 'senseless act of violence.'
'I’m grateful to our brave officers who acted quickly to stop the suspect,' she wrote on X. 'We’re working closely with the NYPD as the investigation unfolds.'
Mamdani echoed a similar statement, writing on X: 'I’m grateful to the NYPD for their quick response and for preventing additional violence.'
The mayor said NYPD will be releasing bodycam footage later after the investigation is concluded.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] An alleged California arsonist who filmed himself setting a warehouse full of people on fire compared himself to Luigi Mangione after starting the blaze, according to court documents.
Chamel Abdulkarim, 29, allegedly posted a first-person video on Instagram on April 7 igniting multiple pallets at the Kimberly-Clark warehouse in Ontario, per a criminal complaint filed Thursday in the US District Court for the Central District of California viewed by the Daily Mail.
'If you're not going to pay us enough to f***ing live or afford to live, at least pay us enough not to do this s***,' Abdulkarim said, according to the complaint.
The footage then allegedly showed his hand holding a lighter as he added, 'Should have paid us enough to f***ing live.'
'You know, we may not get paid enough to f***ing live,' Abdulkarim said, per the legal filing. 'But these b****es dirt cheap.'
He also said that the '1% is a f***ing joke' and claimed that he 'didn't see the share holders picking up a shift,' the complaint added.
During a call with an unidentified witness, Abdulkarim allegedly said his motivation for starting the fire was 'f***ing eight hours, six days … stuck paying rent on a bulls*** a** apartment that I can't afford to f***ing live.'
He added that 'a lot of people are going to understand' and compared his actions to when 'Luigi popped that mutherf***er [sic],' referring to the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December 2024.
During that same call, Abdulkarim also allegedly mentioned gripes with 'pedophiles out here f***ing children, profiting off … f***ing wars.'
Abdulkarim's motivations were further described in a spate of text messages sent to a coworker around 1.33am, per the complaint.
The alleged messages included 'Billionaires profiting off of war…' and 'All you had to do was pay us enough to live.'
'Pay us more of the value WE bring,' Abdulkarim allegedly texted his coworker. 'Not corporate.'
Abdulkarim has been charged with arson of a building used in interstate and foreign commerce and used in activities affecting interstate and foreign commerce.
If convicted, he faces a mandatory minimum of five years in federal prison and a maximum of up to 20 years behind bars.
After setting the fire, Abdulkarim allegedly bragged about how he 'just cost these motherf***ers billions.'
The 1.2 million-square-foot warehouse was fully engulfed in flames by around 1.15am, according to the complaint, causing about $500 million worth of damage.
'There goes your inventory,' Abdulkarim allegedly said in the last shot of his Instagram video.
The warehouse Abdulkarim allegedly set on fire was operated by NFI Industries, a third-party distribution company for Kimberly-Clark products.
Abdulkarim worked at NFI Industries, according to the Ontario Fire Department, but the nature or duration of his job was unclear.
Eighteen employees were inside the building at the time and they were all evacuated safely with no injuries reported.
As the fire spread, Ontario Police Department officers arrived at the scene looking for Abdulkarim.
Officers found him about two miles away walking along a sidewalk, and he allegedly told them that he was 'turning himself in.'
When a police officer asked Abdulkarim where he worked, he allegedly replied, 'That fire s*** right there.'
'I'm confessing,' Abdulkarim added, per the complaint.
At that point, he was cuffed and officers found a lighter with FC Bayern Munich branding on him, which was the same one seen in the first-person footage of the fire.
After he was taken into custody, an officer asked Abdulkarim if his name was Chamel, to which he said, 'Yes, that is the name on my wallet.'
Then, he allegedly refused to continue speaking to law enforcement.
'I don't answer questions,' Abdulkarim told police after his arrest, per the complaint.
Abdulkarim is being held at West Valley Detention Center without bail.
NEW: Disgruntled employee starts massive fire at a 1.2 million square foot warehouse in Ontario, California.
29-year-old Chamel Abdulkarim was arrested on arson charges for setting a Kimberly-Clark warehouse on fire.
Digging a little deeper and looking into what the media may have avoided.
The name "Abdulkarim" is a compound Arabic name formed from 'Abd al-Karim,' where 'abd' means 'servant' or 'slave of,' a common theophoric element denoting devotion. 'Al-Karim' is one of the 99 Names of Allah in Islam, translating to 'the Most Generous,' 'the Bountiful,' or 'the Munificent,' emphasizing divine attributes of boundless generosity and kindness."
So was this just another nut job?
Or a Terrorist trying to kill 500 people?
President Donald Trump was greeted by a packed crowd at UFC 327 in Miami Saturday night during the president's first appearance at a sporting event since the start of the Iran war. Fans in attendance erupted into raucous applause as Trump walked into the venue.
Trump made his way out with UFC CEO and president Dana White and went around to the announcers and had an exchange with Joe Rogan, who was sitting at the announcers’ table.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio was standing nearby the seats right before Trump walked out, then leaned in to Trump and started whispering very closely to the president, cupping his hands over his mouth and they each exchanged a few words. Trump then turned around, pumping his fist to those sitting behind him, smiling and waving, then pointed a few times to the crowd.
Trump has been a frequent fixture at UFC and other combat sports events during his presidency and 2024 campaign and even dating back to his first term.
[PJ] Cardinal Robert Sarah, the 80-year-old former prefect of the Roman Catholic Church’s Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, has issued a sobering warning for people in Europe and North America. In doing so, he may have put himself in dutch with his boss.
Pope Leo said it back in Dec. 2025: Christians and Muslims should be "working together" on "dialogue and friendship between Muslims and Christians." He called upon Christians to be "less afraid" of Islam, and said that Christians and Muslims should be "living together" in "friendship" in Europe. He added: "Perhaps we should be a little less fearful and look for ways to promote authentic dialogue and respect. I know that, in practice, this has not always been the case. I know that fears persist in Europe."
At the bottom of those fears, the pope intimated, was an ugly xenophobia, "often fueled by people opposed to immigration who seek to exclude those who come from another country, another religion, or another ethnic background." He said all this as he was returning from a visit to Lebanon, and he invoked that country as an indication of the amity that he said was possible: "I think that one of the great lessons that Lebanon can offer the world is to show a country where Islam and Christianity are present and respected, and where it is possible to live together, to be friends."
In sharp contrast to these irenic hopes, Cardinal Sarah recently stated: "Wake up. Islam is a danger. If Christians don’t start caring about our faith, Islam will take over the West. They’ll impose their laws and culture. They’ll grow massively in number. And we will decline." Emphasis added.

This article investigates the potential association between modified mRNA (modRNA) COVID-19 vaccinations and the development of haematopoietic cancers. We present a case involving a healthy, young, athletic woman who developed acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) and lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL) following her second dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine (Comirnaty®). This case is part of an expanding body of literature documenting similar occurrences after modRNA vaccinations, which we critically examine. Emerging evidence suggests that the biodistribution and persistence of modRNA, facilitated by lipid nanoparticles, can affect various tissues and organs, including the bone marrow and other blood-forming organs. Notably, modRNA vaccines exhibit a particular affinity for the bone marrow, potentially influencing the immune system at multiple levels and triggering both autoimmune disorders and neoplastic processes. In this article, we assess the risk of developing haematopoietic cancers post-modRNA vaccination based on current scientific literature and explore the reported potential genetic and molecular mechanisms involved in disease pathogenesis. By integrating clinical observations and current research, we aim to provide valuable insights into the potential carcinogenic outcomes associated with modRNA vaccination.
$100,000 to $300,000
The cost of a bone marrow transplant can vary significantly based on several factors, including the type of hospital and its location. Generally, costs can range from $100,000 to $300,000 or more, depending on the specific circumstances of the transplant. Factors influencing the cost include the type of transplant (autologous vs. allogeneic), the patient's insurance coverage, and additional medical expenses related to pre- and post-transplant care.

[Regnum] A flight to Mars and back, with current technology, is almost guaranteed to cause radiation sickness in astronauts. This was announced on April 11 by Dmitry Bakanov, CEO of the Roscosmos State Corporation.
"The human body, passing through radiation belts and heavy charged particles, will most likely develop radiation sickness on the way to Mars and back," Bakanov said live on Channel One.
The Director General of Roscosmos noted that Russia will test deep-space flight technologies on the Moon. In the coming years, an orbital station for imaging the Moon, landers for exploring its surface, and modules with nuclear power plants to power scientific spacecraft will be launched, he added.
Rosatom CEO Alexey Likhachev previously announced plans to deliver a nuclear power plant with a minimum capacity of 5 kW, capable of operating for up to 10 years, to the Moon by the mid-2030s. The project is being developed jointly with Roscosmos and the Kurchatov Institute.
In June 2025, Mikhail Kovalchuk, president of the Kurchatov Institute, stated that the country that would be the first to develop the Moon would be the one that would establish a nuclear power plant there, as it is the only reliable source of energy for the long term.
Russian President Vladimir Putin also pointed out that the development of nuclear power plants in space will open up opportunities for long-term autonomous operation on other celestial bodies.
It would be advisable to first develop technologies for exploring other celestial bodies on the Moon. Dmitry Bakanov, CEO of the Roscosmos State Corporation, stated this on April 11.
Bakanov: Technologies for exploring other planets should first be tested on the Moon
“Everyone agreed that, to begin with, the technology of multi-planetary development and the development of infrastructure for other celestial bodies and planets would be most pragmatically and profitably implemented on the Moon,” he said on Channel One.
According to Bakanov, creating infrastructure, for example on Mars, requires significant expenditures and is associated with serious technological difficulties.
The head of Roscosmos noted that Russia has its own lunar program, which consists of several stages. The first stage involves a lunar flyby and remote observation with optical imaging of the surface. Next, the plan is to land spacecraft on the Moon, followed by the deployment of infrastructure, primarily energy infrastructure.
Russia has previously announced plans to create such infrastructure. In March, Rosatom CEO Alexey Likhachev announced plans to deliver a nuclear power plant with a capacity of at least 5 kW, capable of operating for up to 10 years, to the Moon by the mid-2030s. The project is being developed jointly with Roscosmos and the Kurchatov Institute.

[MalayMail] Mongolia emerges as end-of-life market for Japan’s ageing hybrids and their toxic batteries
Mongolia’s love affair with the Toyota Prius is turning into an environmental headache as thousands of ageing hybrid batteries pile up with nowhere to go.
“If you throw a rock in Mongolia, chances are you’ll hit a Prius,” a Mongolian taxi driver told Singapore-based news outlet CNA in a recent report.
Cheap, second-hand Priuses imported from Japan now dominate roads from the capital to the remote steppe, prized for their durability and fuel savings.
Hybrid vehicles make up about 45 per cent of the country’s 1.5 million vehicles, with most arriving already heavily used.
Many come with batteries nearing the end of their lifespan, which fail even faster in Mongolia’s extreme cold and rough terrain.
When they do, disposal becomes a problem.
“We are now facing serious challenges concerning hazardous waste, specifically how to dispose of, collect and store the batteries used in these vehicles,“ Mongolia’s Transport Ministry official Munkhnasan Enkhtaivan told CNA.
With no proper recycling system, used batteries are often dumped, stored in open areas or handled informally.
“In Mongolia today, a discarded high-voltage battery might be sitting outside someone’s ger, in an open yard, where a child could easily be playing next to it,” Enkhtaivan was quoted as saying.
Some collectors have stepped in to fill the gap, gathering thousands of depleted batteries across the country.
“In Ulaanbaatar, I am confident I collect every single battery,” said one collector, who now holds tens of thousands of units.
But a recent ban on exporting hazardous waste has left such operations stranded, with stockpiles growing.
“So these batteries – this waste – remain inside the country. It is all in Mongolia,” Enkhtaivan was quoted as saying.
The situation highlights a stark irony as hybrids were promoted as a cleaner solution to cut pollution in the capital.
Environmental experts now warn Mongolia risks becoming a dumping ground for ageing “green” technology from richer countries.
According to CNA, efforts to build recycling capacity are underway, but facilities for hybrid batteries remain limited.
Officials say the country is racing to catch up before a wider wave of electric vehicles creates an even bigger waste problem.
