Yet, as Democrats shuttered the government, almost all the media spewed were intentional lies about how Republicans wanted to take health care away from the poor, and premiums would rise substantially for them.<\/p>\n<p>The media didn\u2019t have much interest when an enterprising young reporter found massive fraud in daycare centers in Minnesota. They also didn\u2019t have any concern when we learned Governor Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison knew about the fraud for a long time and instead of going after the criminals, sought to destroy the whistleblowers.<\/p>\n<p>Here is how PBS reported on the story:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>This week, the Trump administration dispatched federal officers to Minnesota amid concerns over fraud. The deployment comes after a right-wing influencer posted a video claiming, without proof, that daycare centers operated by Somali residents in Minneapolis had misappropriated more than $100 million.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Hospice fraud in California is massive. Where is the endless reporting by the media? Why aren\u2019t they concerned that Governor Newsom and other officials did little to nothing about it? They also don\u2019t seem interested in how many millions of taxpayer dollars flow to entities associated with Newsom\u2019s wife. Instead, they attack the Justice Department for investigating the obvious.<\/p>\n<p>A huge amount of fraud was found with a small sample of SNAP recipients, yet this news piece seems aggravated at The Trump administration for doing something about it:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>The USDA says 700,000 were removed from SNAP. Here\u2019s what counts as fraud.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Multiple studies have found that SNAP fraud is rare, yet the Trump administration continues to place heavy focus on the issue.<\/p>\n<p>In May, Rollins told Fox News that her department had found around 700,000 people fraudulently using SNAP rolls since February 2025 and arrested 895 people in the past year for fraud. She said 244,000 fraudsters used dead people\u2019s social security numbers and 500,000 collected benefits in multiple states.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Here is a story that got little coverage about health care fraud schemes. You would think that with all the worries about Medicare survival that an arrest of around 450 people in 45 states would get extensive coverage, but it doesn\u2019t.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/interstatelogisticshubs.com\/?p=2250\">\u2018Citizen Vigilante\u2019 is the wake-up call Western civilization needs<\/a><\/p>\n<p>New: Record Healthcare Fraud Bust: 450 Defendants Now Charged by Trump DOJ<\/p>\n<p>How often is this happening throughout the country?<\/p>\n<p>What about this?<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Michigan childcare provider collected $1.1M in taxpayer funds despite no visible signs of operating<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Where are the administrators we pay for verifying that daycare providers do in fact qualify for the money?<\/p>\n<p>The media clearly has little interest in reporting on fraud perpetrated by illegals:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Illegal Alien Gets 8 Years in Prison for $89 Million Payroll Scheme Employing Illegal Alien Construction Workers<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I bet few people saw this story about all the money funneled out during COVID:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>NC Tax Preparer Pleads Guilty in $13.9M COVID-19 Fraud Scheme<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Seven other return preparers have already pleaded guilty to their roles in the same scheme.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The media is working hard not to avoid the story about how we chased down a Somalian fraudster after he fled the country:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>$250 Million Minnesota Fraudster Finally Nabbed \u2014 in Mogadishu\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Every once in a while, the media and other Democrats claim to care about debts and deficits, but they clearly don\u2019t when they refuse to help going after fraud and treat every cut or freeze in government spending programs as a disaster.<\/p>\n<p>The only time they really care about deficits is when they falsely claim that Republican tax cuts cost the government trillions of dollars.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the truth about federal income and spending:<\/p>\n<p>Individual income taxes collected FY 2017 $1.5 trillion. By FY 2025, they were up to $2.66 trillion\u2014up more than double the 35% inflation rate for that period. Corporate income taxes in FY 2017 were $297 billion and in FY 2025, they were $452 billion (or up 52%).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, spending went up from $3.98 trillion to $7.20 trillion\u2014up 77%, which is more than double the rate of inflation. Uncontrolled spending including massive fraud is clearly the problem.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/interstatelogisticshubs.com\/?p=2247\">Equipping Schoolchildren for a Better America<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Is our media on it?
