-Lurid Crime Tales-
Dr. Oz and Jim O'Neill discovered Minnesota factory converted into 400 fraudulant Medicaid businesses, generating $500 million dollars
[X] obscene level of fraud and brazen dishonesty-shocking level of corruption
In Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota. Everywhere they look, they find more fraud — I find it tremendously hopeful for the near future.

#1  This is obviously organized crime. Anyone in MPLS or Minnesota government who facilitated this can be charged under RICO, even if what they did would not be illegal otherwise, as long as they know crime is being committed. Use the same rules the DEMs used when they went after Trumps legal teams challenging the 2020 illection.

#2  Thinking about the closed factory as a metaphor? What has replaced the derelict factory in the local economy? It has been replaced by 400 fake businesses that generate $500M of fraudulent economic activity.

90% of the Dem political support for these immigrant communities is the block voting, but 10% is the false perception that they have transformed a struggling local economy into a vibrant business zone. The block voting is real; whichever Dem candidate is supported by immigrant community that was deliver Amazon style by Christian affiliated NGOs will be the winner of the Dem primary. The politicians also gush about the positive economic impact of these newly arrived Americans. That’s all fake. It’s the 400 businesses in this factory that bring in fraud dollars.

Once the spigot is shut off, reality will return. The factory will still be closed. The immigrants will be a big drain on the state once they aren’t eligible for Fed programs. Christian NGOs will not bridge the gap. Instead they will disappear as their staffs, previously bloated by Fed grants, will now be reduced to a much lower level of support by private donors that no longer trust them.

#3  I’ve been to Jim O’Neill’s house for dinner. Odd bird.

#4  That building was owned by a client of mine, Keith Haarstad. Hell of a sharp business man. I've been through it. Normally the rental rate runs 40-60 percent vacant.

The current rental rate there is $25-26 per square foot. So guess who else rents there?

Minnesota Department of Human Rights
Services. Minnesota Public Defenders
Services and the Minnesota State Arts Board.

Now it's owned by the Griggs Midway Building Corp. and managed by Progressive Management Investments Inc. There is no way in hell they didn't know what was going on.

Registered Agent on file for Progressive Management is Annelle Mcclung of Annelle McClung Realty. In the Griggs building! Talk about who else was involved in the scam.

#5  Big problems: there isn’t enough jail space to house all these people, there aren’t enough prosecutor hours available for the cases and you can’t staff up on prosecutors because all the lawyers are representing the bad guys.

-Signs, Portents, and the Weather-
Paul Ryan refuses comment on his former boss, Donald Trump
[Rebel News] Paul Ryan wasn't interested in talking to independent journalists on the streets of Davos; instead, the former congressman reserved his answers for establishment outlets.

Former Republican Speaker of the House and vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan is a regular attendee of the World Economic Forum's annual summit in Davos, Switzerland.

But despite his lengthy political history, Ryan is not fond of interviews — or at least unscripted ones from independent journalists.

#1  Based on his position at FOX shouldn’t hard hitting interviews be his peanut butter and jelly sandwich?
Posted by: Super Hose || 01/25/2026 7:11 Comments || Top||

#2  Peanut butter and jelly versus bread and butter...I'll take P&J any day.
Posted by: DooDahMan || 01/25/2026 8:54 Comments || Top||

#3  Ryan strikes me as more of a Lunchable eater rather than being a true Uncrustable connoisseur.
Posted by: Super Hose || 01/25/2026 10:09 Comments || Top||

#4  What the hell was Ryan doing there in the first place? I guess being a deep state RINO pays off.
Posted by: Woodrow || 01/25/2026 14:38 Comments || Top||

#5  I am surprised the deep state squish didn't pile on. He must sense the political winds are going the wrong way for that.
