I Prayed have prayed
God, we thank You for using the Trump administration to address this fraud in Minnesota. We pray You would hold any and all responsible parties accountable, and we pray taxpayer dollars would never again be wasted like this.
Reading Time: 2 minutes

A recent investigation revealed in November that Somali fraudsters in Minnesota have been pocketing money set aside for state programs for years. Now, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz is telling Minnesota Governor to fix the fraud or lost federal funding.

From the Daily Caller:

“This is a clear dereliction of duty,” Oz wrote in a statement posted to X. “Everyone from Gov. Tim Walz on down needs to be investigated, because they’ve been asleep at the wheel.”

CMS has already shut down the housing program and frozen provider enrollment in several abused programs. Oz now demands Minnesota provide weekly fraud updates, freeze high-risk provider enrollment for six months, verify all current providers and submit a corrective action plan.

“The message to Walz is clear: either fix this in 60 days or start looking under your couch for spare change, because we’re done footing the bill for your incompetence,” Oz wrote.

You can view this statement in the embedded video below.

Administrator Oz notes that the fraudsters used taxpayer money to buy luxury cars and purchase overseas real estate. Most alarmingly, as IFA covered previously, some taxpayer money even made its way back to Somalia where it ended up in the hands of terrorists.

This revelation of fraud in Minnesota has shaken Washington. President Trump responded to the investigation by ending deportation protections for Somali migrants in the state and sending ICE into Minneapolis. Meanwhile, Representative Ilhan Omar, a Somali lawmaker representing Minnesota’s fifth congressional district, has come under fire over links to the fraudsters.

As the Trump administration works to hold those responsible for this fraud accountable, let’s pray that this level of government waste and abuse would never happen in our nation again.

I am so grateful, Lord, that you have allowed for the American people to be blessed by having the current Administration in office. I applaud the bold stance that Dr. Oz is taking regarding the misguided, wrong, evil actions of the government in the state of Minnesota. I ask You, Lord, that any and all of the corrupt and illegal actions regarding this issue will be exposed and dealt with by the federal government. I also pray that the folks who have been involved in the wrongdoing will be punished to the fullest extent of the law. Thank you Jesus.

Lets get our focus back on God/Jesus Here is a poem I wrote
Happy Birthday Jesus, My Lord and Savior

However you choose to deck the halls,
Whether tinsel and garland or colorful balls.
Please remember the ONE at the celebrations core,
Who was born to die so you could live for evermore.

Satan and Santa have the same letters you see,
So do Present and Serpent – it’s no mystery.
It was well designed to keep you stressed out and tired,
So, Jesus’ Birthday would be totally mired.

 Rushing and busy with all sorts of behavior,
So, there would be no time to consider our SAVIOR.
Remember that he was born to save us from our Sin,
If we would but accept him and for him live.
 
Gathering trees to adorn with colorful baubles,
become our homes focus – pagan idols.
Jeremiah 10 v3 and 4 warn us about doing it,
But because the world does it, we follow suit.

This year why not give Jesus the ultimate Gift,
One of time in his presence while you take time to Pray.
Thanking him for his sacrifice, mercy and grace
Remembering he forgave A debt we could never repay.

Send those fraudsters back to Somali. They apparently are not willing to ‘assimilate’ and become ‘an American’. If you cannot become a true American then you have no business being here !

I don’t think it is so much of what do I think as much as it is that God may be smiling down on His people…….that we are united…….that we are indivisible with liberty and justice for all! Amen!

Dear Heavenly Father, we thank you Lord for Dr. Oz. We thank you for his determination, vigor and strength to combat all of the corruption in Mn. and the rest of the nation. We thank you Lord that you give him continued wisdom, direction and guidance in his endeavors to right the wrongs that have been plaguing our country for decades. We thank you Lord for your protection over him, his staff, his family, home, and friends. We thank you Lord to give him sweet sleep every night and to wake up refreshed.
Thank you Lord for listening and answering this prayer. In the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.

It’s one thing to uncover fraud, it’s another thing to see the perpetrators behind bars and restitution made. We see the headlines now but in a few days we’ll never hear of it again!!! Let’s see some real action!!!!

It’s one thing for the U.S. to receive whomever into the country, BUT this requires wisdom. We MUST not receive all entries because many countries desire to end the U.S., including Somalia.

Washington’s speaking up against MN fraud is more than welcomed from this MN taxpayer. It would have been welcomed years ago. Thank you, Dr. Oz

Yes, we pray that all these people, Walz, Ellison, Omar, and many other, ARE held accountable here in this state of MN. I live here and have been here all of my life, raised my children and now grandchildren, and we are sick over how our state has been run to the ground. There are many here that want to steal, kill, and destroy BUT GOD. He has exposed it and is cleaning up this fraud and filth in the state. I have been declaring for the last couple of years that they will be held accountable and that MN will be saved. Amen and Amen

I’m glad someone is saying something about this. What happens in one state will ultimately happen in all states. Hopefully it will send a message to these “elites” that just because you hold a position in government, or know someone who does, doesn’t mean you can do things that impact the people around you in difficult ways. Kudos, Dr Oz!

Almighty God your eye have seen and we have received this truth of masive fiscal misbehavior.

Politicians a say become accountable, make them accountable.

Counting is over, thief is caught, repayment is double what was taken.
Let it begin. Amen.

Father – Thank You for exposing the lies and plans of the wicked and frustrating their plans. “Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked; do not further their evil plot, or they will be exalted. Psalm 140:8. Let the wicked fall into their own nets. Psalm 141:10
