Well I am always open to being better informed Catherine, how about you, can you make sensible judgments based on facts? Can you change you position on issues when new information comes to light or will you just doggedly stick to a position regardless of evidence to the contrary.Be honest with yourself, I think we both know the truth Catherine you are so indoctrinated that you cannot see that Walz is at best an incompetent fool who has overseen the worst case of fraud in US history, but most likely a criminal who benefited for said fraud. You have been informed but you just cannot take the truth. Let go of woke insanity it's over and will only bring you unhappiness
The fraud found was found during the Biden administration and in cooperation with state officials. This only thing Trump has done is use the information to fool his base.
The only criminals are the ones roaming the streets cosplaying as law enforcement. The others, are the ones that support our democracy and freedom being stripped of us. “God Bless Trump” you say. Lmao. Clearly you’re not Christian and trust me, you have to go as south of heaven to know who’s blessing Trump. Another Radical Right Lunatic parroting right wing conspiracies of Somali criminals. Look no further than the Republican Party and the felon in the White House. How’s Louisiana’s waste fraud and abuse going? Oh I forgot, Trump dropped that lawsuit. God bless everyone fighting for kindness and our children. The only thing the Republicans and their brainwashed voters fight for is corruption and hiding the biggest pedo ring in the world and sadly you’re one of them.
Oh dear Becky...are you forgetting the tampons in boys toilets? The billions of dollars lost to Somalian fraudsters on his watch? Be serious you don't really believe that he would made a good VP you just want to scream a President Trump because he has washed away the nonsense that made you feel special. Diddums
You’ve been deceived, Tom. There was an interview on TV tonight with the (white, American citizen) woman who was convicted of beginning the conspiracy that cost those millions (not billions, Tom). She’s in jail for an estimated 30 years. Remember: white, American woman. Not Somali).
I admit that it did feel special to finally see working people getting medical attention for accurate diagnoses and appropriate treatments for the first time in their adult lives when my state finally expanded Medicaid. It doesn’t feel special to see the end to programs that we developed in this state to support social determinants of health that also lowered net cost per person receiving Medicaid health insurance and created jobs in the areas the pilot ran for a positive economic impact of $189 million—all our investments and gains lost because of Trump’s HR 1-OBBBA. No, that feels pretty stupid.
Here’s the facts on the Healthy Opportunities Pilots: (not on TV, produced by our DHHS under direction of our Republican controlled gerrymandered government)
“Evidence of Savings:
Monthly Reductions: Early analyses found an average of $85 less in healthcare spending per person per month for HOP participants compared to non-participants.
Significant Impact: One study noted up to $1,020 in annual savings per participant by preventing complications.
Reduced ED Visits: A differential decrease of 6 fewer ED visits per 1,000 person-months was observed for HOP enrollees”
Now I am sure that you will agree that you can always find examples to support your case when it comes to something as vast as healthcare and you can certainly commission studies to support your position,whatever it is. Trump's assertion that Americans have been paying too much for drugs compared to other countries is also true and the insurance companies seem to have been inflating their profits and great cost to the American taxpayer under Obamacare so reform seems to be a good idea, it's a very complicated debate and not actually what we were discussing. Walz allowed billions of dollars to stolen by Somali criminals, money that could have been spent on people who needed it, he would have made a terrible VP.
No, I don’t agree with your implication that these studies were “commissioned” by anyone. And it is directly related to what we were discussing.
The data collected was part of the pilot that was an investment of NC tax dollars planned and budgeted by bipartisan government over years when our General Assembly had either a slim majority of opposing parties in each chamber or a slim Republican majority in both chambers with a Democrat as Governor. The pandemic delayed the selection of the areas of the state in which the pilot would operate and the start of the program. Businesses and non-profits had assembled partners and plans for applications over years between the announcement of the pilot and the awarding of the funds. No small endeavor. The Governor was only a small part of that effort. Governors are not solely responsible for great things that are accomplished or for bad things that crooks are able to finagle.
There are always fraudsters in any complicated massive system of payment. It’s difficult to detect the truth in patterns observable from population data. One must have knowledge from the local level accountability of a multitude of one-on-one relationships to really find the truth. The Healthy Opportunities Pilot was based on developing those local relationships for better service, at a lower cost, and with better accountability.
Government oversight includes departments to notice and investigate the uncertain and possibly false trends in population data and to follow up on tips from local sources.
In my state, the FBI recently raided offices of a suspected Medicaid fraudster operating in cities that were not part of the pilot program. From news reports:
“The scheme allegedly paid people to recruit Medicaid beneficiaries by providing free or discounted temporary housing, a meal, payment, or other benefits in exchange for their Medicaid identification numbers. The people involved in the scheme then submitted Medicaid claims using that information without providing any services, the records allege.”
“The FBI filings allege that Dean’s company billed Medicaid for $14.5 million, with almost $9 million of that reimbursed from Medicaid between September 2024 and June 2025.”
“In an answer to the civil forfeiture complaint, Dean denies involvement in healthcare fraud violations. Dean’s attorneys claim that the government’s seizure of Dean’s property was done “through incorrect, misleading or incomplete allegations.”
Before the raid, no criminal charges had been filed. It’s an ongoing investigation. No one is blaming the Governor that there are crooks in the state trying to steal Medicaid funds without delivering services.
In Minnesota there is an ongoing investigation of Medicaid fraud. The Governor is a well-known political opponent of the President. People paid to detect and investigate have recognized a problem where checks and balances have been evaded. Tim Walz withdrew from the political campaign for the 2026 race to focus on his responsibilities as governor now, with the evidence of fraud within the system there. He is taking that seriously and working to find the perpetrators and correct the system to avoid it happening again. One of the main FBI federal attorneys involved in that investigation, with knowledge of the facts and the perpetrators, just resigned along with others in that department over the DOJs directive to them on the investigation of the killing of Renee Good.
Tim Walz would have been a good Vice President because he exhibits leadership skills and knows how to put his state and nation above his personal ambitions. Traits that our current President and Vice President lack.
Ha ha you have had help with that one Becky, which NGO published that lot of nonsense . He did nothing about the massive fraud of billions of dollars by Somalian criminals and others, indeed he did all that he could to silence whistle blowers, until the Trump administration exposed it. He has dropped out of the next election because he knows he has absolutely no chance of winning, and he will be lucky if he avoids jail for corruption . He is a best an incompetent fool.
That is not what happens Peter, if the President uses the insurection clause then the national guard will come under his direct control, and you can be sure that they will be happy to do so, Walz and Frey are idiots they should be allowing local police to support ICE as they are around the country making the US a safer place for all who are here legally, illegal immigrants know that the game is up and the sensible ones are leaving under their own steam.
Furthermore, blue states should put a temporary hold on all federal tax payments. Why support a federal government that not only doesn’t support support you but openly antagonizes. If California and New York alone did this, the federal government would be broke within six months.
What’s striking here isn’t the rhetoric, it’s the choreography. Federal chaos depends on states looking incapable. Walz calling the Guard early is less defiance than refusing to play the assigned role. That’s not escalation, it’s interruption.
Excellent word: interruption! More peaceful interruption like this is needed across the country... It's like pulling out a plug, or tripping a circuit breaker...
As a Canadian, this article gives me hope that Americans will eventually take their country back, with the help of the many good leadership throughout the country. The world needs you all to succeed.
What and have a banker/ globalist leader like you have in Canada ? President Trump puts the people of the United States first....who do you think your banker leader puts first? By honest with yourself,who do you think he puts first, a banker ?
More than likely, he's sending them via polar route. Question: Will they be sent to Russian gulags or to Greenland, where the three airports have no to limited roads exiting said airports? Malcom Nance has interesting views.
t doesn’t care about any rules, regulations, laws or winning a popularity contest. He just wants what he wants when he wants it. He never actually “makes sense”
Perfect! Since Governor Walz activated the Guard under State authority, they can arrest any federal agents— including I.C.E.— who violate the law!! (Title 32)
Trump must not be removed by the 25th Amendment. He committed treason. The release of the transcript of Jack Smith’s testimony to the Judiciary Committee confirms “beyond a reasonable doubt” that Donald Trump tried to overthrow the government on January 6, 2021–a blatant act of treason.
Trump, is intellectually, cognitively, legally, ethically and morally unfit to perform the duties of the president. Americans reject his ICE deployments, they reject his treasonous attempts to overthrow the U. S. Government, they reject his invasion of Venezuela, they reject his sexual predations, his fraudulent financial dealings, his pardoning of criminal oligarchs, his murders on the high seas, his deployments of the U.S. military against the American people, and his compulsive and continual lying.
Opposition to Trump’s presidency continues to grow. Revealed by the October 18th “NO KINGS” protests, followed by the total rejection of MAGA Republicans in the November 4th elections, the Trump presidency—as reported by Fox News on November 18—was approved by only 38% of Americans; 60% disapproved.
Trump’s approval continues to fall. Every aspect of Trump’s Presidency is rejected by the majority of the American people. This majority will not rest until the convicted criminal Donald Trump, and his Neo-Nazi enablers, are removed from office, prosecuted and convicted for treason, and punished as dictated by the Constitution.
Sounds like a lot of wishful thinking Donovan, mid terms are mid terms there will be another republican President after Trump probably the VP the democrats are a total mess no one wants the country to go back to all of that insanity.
Malcolm Nance of special intelligence has a post saying the troops deployed are being held there to go up and over MN to Greenland. He is someone I trust. Ive restocked his post more than once. Hes even going to the area to check it out. Please read his post.
quite frankly, there should be no respect or quarter for even one of these paratroopers if they do Trump’s bidding…say no, resign yr commission and take the consequences like a decent human
This is just dumb shit, going after a state in the union, from a guy who bankrupted two casinos. he’s not a tactician or a negotiator he’s just a tiny man/knucklehead.
Who just happens to have power!!
If he wasn’t president he would be laughed at like he was his entire life!!
I was wondering when Blue States would wake up and use their National Guard troops to check the lawlessness of Federal ICE agents.
Always knew Tim Waltz had balls.
He would have been an awesome VP!!!
Yeah think of the amount of money we would have given to Somalian criminals!!! Don't be ridiculous, President Trump has saved us from these loons
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What a silly rabbit! 🐰
Drumpf is the looney tune....I wouldn't insult loons, very beautiful birds.
You might want to become better informed....
I wonder who or what Tom really is, but I don’t wonder enough to care about seeing another one of Plunkett’s B.S.posts. Throw in the sponge, Tom.

Actually, Trump‘s frauds add up to a whole lot more. Look it up.

Get serious. Saved? From what? Too many sambusas?
He should have been our Vice President. Gosh, think of it. We could have had someone who knows how to strategize and lead for the good of everyone.

What an intellectual giant you are Andrew.😉
Our good wishes are with the citizens of Minnesota. Keep the peace. Boycott people and all businesses supporting Don’s nonsense here and abroad.
Congress must cut the ICE Budget in the upcoming Budget talks!!
CUT THE ICE BUDGET!
CUT THE ICE BUDGET!
CUT THE ICE BUDGET!
Yes, this is mandatory.
And impeach ICE Barbie!
Not going to happen, lots more criminals to be deported.
You’re one that should be deported.
Bye Felicia.
I think every blue state should be ready and have their National guards ready. Right! Now!
100%, especially those with Blue Govenirs and Blue State houses.
Furthermore, blue states should put a temporary hold on all federal tax payments. Why support a federal government that not only doesn’t support support you but openly antagonizes. If California and New York alone did this, the federal government would be broke within six months.
Agree absolutely 💯
Exactly and each State should lend National Guards to neighbor states BLUE STATES !
Protect our own. Very sad
What’s striking here isn’t the rhetoric, it’s the choreography. Federal chaos depends on states looking incapable. Walz calling the Guard early is less defiance than refusing to play the assigned role. That’s not escalation, it’s interruption.
I think Walz's timing was probably spot on.

Bye Becky.
“Operation Metro Surge”. He thinks it’s a game. And from the warm, secret service protected comfort of wherever he parks his fat ass, no wonder.
The same applies to his cabinet. The broligarchs, and corporate funders/leeches.
IMHO- I think the ICE “agents” are mostly video gamers from their mom’s basements that ALSO think terrorizing humans is “just a game”. 🤬
It’s the ones who fought in real wars who concern me. Policing a neighborhood is way different than killing an enemy.
More than likely, he's sending them via polar route. Question: Will they be sent to Russian gulags or to Greenland, where the three airports have no to limited roads exiting said airports? Malcom Nance has interesting views.
Clearly they are not ,what are you talking about,they are out risking their lives to make our streets safer.
No.
They are LITERALLY MURDERING US CITIZENS.
They fit their own DHS definition of “Domestic Terrorists”.
Stop trolling. It makes you look absolutely ignorant.
You know very well that that is not true Ellyn, why is there so many women with severe TDS,?
Yes, what would he be without his contingent of bodyguards? Dead most likely....
Yes he would, as we have seen with Charlie Kirk the indoctrinated left wing are unhinged and violent.
t doesn’t care about any rules, regulations, laws or winning a popularity contest. He just wants what he wants when he wants it. He never actually “makes sense”

There are rumors that the Alaska paratroopers could be for Greenland but they ARE rumors

I hope they stay in Alaska myself.
