The ongoing Somali fraud scandal has brought an end to Governor Tim Walz’s political career in Minnesota.
He announced this morning that he will not seek a third term.
Here is Walz’s full statement via KTTC:
“In September, I announced that I would run for a historic third term as Minnesota’s Governor. And I have every confidence that, if I gave it my all, I would succeed in that effort.
But as I reflected on this moment with my family and my team over the holidays, I came to the conclusion that I can’t give a political campaign my all. Every minute I spend defending my own political interests would be a minute I can’t spend defending the people of Minnesota against the criminals who prey on our generosity and the cynics who prey on our differences.
So I’ve decided to step out of the race and let others worry about the election while I focus on the work.
I know this news may come as a surprise. But I’m passing on the race with zero sadness and zero regret. After all, I didn’t run for this job so I could have this job. I ran for this job so I could do this job. Minnesota faces an enormous challenge this year. And I refuse to spend even one minute of 2026 doing anything other than rising to meet the moment. Minnesota has to come first – always.”
……..The Gateway Pundit reported on independent journalist Nick Shirley’s explosive exclusive on Somali fraud, which exposed millions of dollars in fraud involving Somali daycare centers in Minnesota.
Shirley shared clips of his investigation on X, including footage of the door being slammed in his face while he asked a Minnesota Childcare Center that claims to care for 102 children, which appeared empty.
Shirley released the full 42-minute video of his investigation, noting, “We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day.”
Thanks to Nick Shirley, this fraud was on full display to the public.
It takes good independent journalism to expose the corruption. James O’Keefe led the way.
Muckrakers like O’Keefe and Shirley do the job of the media conglomerate because they refuse to do theirs.
The Somali criminal enterprise in Minnesota has raked in billions. They had help. Ilhan Omar has profited from the import of Somalis. She’s ass deep in this.
Welfare fraud in the Somali enclave is funding the Al-Shabaab terrorist group. The ‘free lunch’ Feeding Our Future tactic ended up with charges of fraud against 48 defendants in six indictments.
Somali scammers stole enough Medicaid funds to match Somalia’s GDP.
There’s no question that Walz knew about this. He, Omar, and the rest of the fraudsters belong in prison.
