July, 2026, Political Class Insanity, Part 3: A Cocaine Peddling Massachusetts Government Employee, Chicago Spends Almost $700 Million On Illegal Immigrants, and Walz Protects A Child Rapist

We have spent a lot of our recent posts about which state or city will go bankrupt first and the massive fraud that has been going on relative to government programs. But that does not mean that the potential class has not been up to its traditional incompetence, insanity, and screw ups. So, let’s catch up with the shenanigans that continue to plague the country:

1)Government fraud is not only done by criminals outside of the the government but sometimes government employees also do the stealing of taxpayer wealth:

According to reporting by the Blabberbuzz website, a former senior employee of Massachusetts governor, Maura Healey, has been charged for allegedly operating a "major cocaine trafficking ring” out of his taxpayer funded workplace office.
LaMarr Cook served as deputy director of Healey's Western Massachusetts office.
State police allegedly intercepted eight kilograms of cocaine that Cook tried unsuccessfully to ship to his government office.
However, despite the seriousness of his crime, he was given a token bail of only $25,000.
But the Boston Herald then reported that he vacationed in Disneyworld using Federal government SNAP food allocations.
I guess being arrested for being a major cocaine supplier does not invalid you from getting Federal government food support.
But it gets worse: after his arrest, the Healey administration gave him $31,000 of taxpayer wealth that the government had been "mistakenly paid out.”
No word if the mistaken payout was corrected and the money clawed back.

Government fraud and insane wasting of taxpayer funds comes from all directions including fraud associated with alleged cocaine peddling government employees.

2)There are a lot of Americans suffering in the city of Chicago today:

There are about 58,000 homeless Americans currently in the city.
There were 835 drug overdose deaths in the city last year so there has to be thousands of city residents that need drug addiction treatment.
There have been 686 shootings in the city this year, a 4% increase over last year at this time and a total of 858 shooting victims.
In June alone, there were 139 shootings and 43 homicides.
Over 500,000 residents, about 25% of the population, are living with food insecurity.

Obviously, a load of city residents are indeed of support and care. So what have the politicians of the city been spending a lot of money on over the past few years in spite of their residents’ suffering:

According to reporting by the Chicago Sun times, the city inspector general recently did a deep dive into city finances and accounting to see how money was being spent relative to the thousands and thousands of illegal immigrants that had come to the sanctuary city of Chicago over the past few years.
He was investigating whether proper accounting procedures had been followed in funding illegal immigrant support but the numbers he compiled are amazing and disgusting relative to illegal immigrants.
Chicago politicians spent a whopping $639.6 million for the support of illegal immigrants during the first 18 months of Mayor Brandon Johnson's term.
Before Biden let millions of illegal immigrants into the country, thousands of which headed toward the sanctuary city of Chicago, the city had only 3,000 beds for homeless folks.
The city had to open up 38 emergency shelters just to handle the flood of illegal immigrants.
But that was not enough and the city had to put up temporary shelters in police stations and the two main city airports.

It was amazing how fast city politicians were able to mobilize and get free housing, free food, free medical care and other free services for illegal immigrants and spend $639.6 million in the process. And yet, there are still hundreds of thousands of city residents who are homeless, hungry, and in need medical attention even after the $639.6 million of taxpayer money was spent on non-Americans:

If you do the math, that $639.6 million could have given every food-stressed American in the city three nutritious meals a day for about 14 months but yet, 500,000 city residents are food insecure today.
According to the government's Drug Abuse website, it costs on average about $6,600 to provide an annual methadone treatment for opioid addiction per person.
Thus, theoretically, that $639.6 million could have provided a year's opioid addiction support and treatment for just under 100,00 city residents and possibly reduced the 835 drug addiction deaths last year in the city.
The $639.6 million could have gotten the 58,000 homeless city residents about two months in moderately priced hotel rooms (assuming $200 a night) during the cold Chicago winters and kept them safe for at least a little while.
How many more police officers and district attorneys could have been hired with that $640.6 million to reduce the violence and homicides in the city?

Thus, despite spending $639.6 million the residents of Chicago are still suffering.

3)Let’s stay with the illegal immigrant problem Biden created and much like the idiocy the Chicago politicians spending over $600 million on illegal immigrants, consider the idiocy of the Minnesota governor relative to a dangerous illegal immigrant:

Tou Lue Vang was an illegal immigrant from Laos.
He was convicted of repeatedly raping a young American girl over several years in Minnesota in 2006.
He had illegally entered the country in 1994 and yet decades later he was still in the country.
The victim was only 10 years old when the raping began, raping that continued for four years.
Recently the governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, gave Vang clemency.
Fortunately, the Federal government stepped in and deported Vang back to Laos, as described by Secretary of State Marco Rubio: “Under President Trump, criminal illegal aliens who rape children will be found, arrested, and removed — and Democrat politicians will not stand in the way.”
But somehow Walz freaked out when the Feds deported this child rapist even though he called Vang’s actions “horrific.”
Lauren Bis, acting assistant secretary in the Department of Homeland Security, was having none of Walz.’s craziness: “Governor Tim Walz’s decision to pardon an illegal alien convicted child rapist so he can remain in our country is disgusting. These are the criminal illegal aliens he and his Minnesota sanctuary politicians are protecting.”

The insanity with this governor is strong. An illegal immigrant who repeatedly raped an American ten year old and continued the raping for four years is some how shown compassion by a failed governor.

But yet another example where illegal immigrants,including rapists, are more important to Democrats and liberals than the American citizen victims.

Enough insanity for today: protecting a child raping illegal immigrant, lightning fast response to help illegal immigrants in a sanctuary city while Americans in the same sanctuary city suffer and get nothing, and an alleged cocaine peddling state employee in Massachusetts who gets a $35,000 taxpayer funded exit gift.

Government Taxpayer Fraud and Corruption, Part 9: More Fraud In Minnesota, Massachusetts Medicaid Transportation Fraud, and Florida Goes Fraud Busting

We are going to spend a lot of discussion time in the coming posts to review the massive amount of criminal fraud that has infected government programs for many, many years. The outstanding investigations recently done, and still being done, by independent journalist, Nick Shirley, has started a cascading identification of the numerous fraud instances at all levels of government across the country.

It is unbelievable how many billions of dollars have been wasted and are currently being wasted and siphoned off by all types of criminal activities. And while it is amazing how much taxpayer wealth has been wasted and lost, possibly even more amazing is the reality that through the decades the political class and the government entities they overlook were unable or unwilling to stop the fraud.

1)It seems that in every government program fraud discussion we somehow end up in Minnesota:

The FBI recently raided 22 suspected fraudulent day care centers in the state.
It is believed that billions of taxpayer dollars were given to social service operations that in many cases provided little or no social services to the needy Americans they were supposed to be serving.
These programs ranged from government funded day care centers to food assistance programs to senior care services.
Vice President JD Vance and the FBI also recently announced that they possibly uncovered a bogus Medicaid scheme in Ohio that stole as much as $1 billion.
And rather than helping in uncovering taxpayer frauds, many politicians are actually working to make the identification of fraud harder, not easier, to find and prosecute.
In California, politicians recently passed the “Stop Nick Shirley Act” that would make it harder for journalists to investigate and uncover the criminal activity involved in government programs.
This law is obviously a violation of the First Amendment of the Constitution and will eventually be killed off but it gives you an idea that rather than helping in identifying fraud, these California lawmakers are looking to cover it up and thus, enable it.
Which raises the obvious question: do these politicians looking to cover up fraud doing it because they are profiting from it?
Washington state politicians are looking to pass the same First Amendment type law to protect criminal fraudsters in that state.
Oregon politicians tried to pass a law that would restrict public access to government meetings and communications which would help cover up fraud in that state.

The good news is that Vance, the FBI, and other government entities are finally fighting back and trying to eliminate government fraud. The bad news is that some politicians at the state level are going the opposite way and covering up the fraud, which again, raises the question of whether they are actually benefitting from the defrauding of the American taxpayer.

2)Florida is one state in which the political class is actually and actively rooting out fraud and corruption in government services:

Apparently south Florida has a long history of government program fraud.
But that is changing as the government in the state has figured out how the Medicaid fraudsters operate: fake/bogus health care clinics are set up in rented office space, they apply to receive government subsidies to provide medical care via Medicaid, they move in and decorate the rented space, neighbors watch the space get used for a week or so, enough time to register with Medicaid for funding, and then the physical operation address is abandoned.
But the schemers continue to bill for phantom medical services that are never provided.
This type of scam has been happening for a long time.
Way back in 2007, the U.S. attorney serving Miami showed an analysis that nearly one third of the randomly selected Medicare business, 481 locations, did not exist physically but were still collecting government checks.
These ghost.phantom medical services companies collected almost a quarter billion dollars in a single year back then but provided absolutely no medical services.
However, the current governor, Ron DeSantis, has said enough is enough: "For far too long, we've relied on a pay and chase model where fraudulent claims are paid first, and then investigated years later. That approach is costly, that approach is inefficient, and ultimately it's not fair to taxpayers."
Under his guidance the state is offering a three step approach for identifying and stopping fraud.
Step One: the state government is partnering with Sentilink, an identity fraud company, to screen potential providers BEFORE they receive a single taxpayer dollar.
Step Two: the state government has frozen new service enrollments in the two worst fraud categories, medical equipment and adult day care providers, until the proper screening is done.
Step Three: every Medicaid provider in Florida will be required to prove they are actually providing legit medical services every 12-24 months or they will be cut off from funding.
These steps appear to be working since in just two years the state has shut down 3,200 companies and clawed back $136 million in funds that these bogus companies had stolen.

Partly as a result of these steps, the state government of Florida has reduced its budget for four straight years, grown its rainy day fund by four fold, and reduced its debt by 50%, things that politicians in Minnesota, Washington, and Oregon should be doing. Instead,they continue to enable the fraud and the wasting of billions of taxpayer dollars.

Maybe they should take the advice of DeSantis: "Buckle up. Some of these guys [bogus medical service companies] that aren't behaving well? They're going to have a lot more to deal with."

3)Sometime the fraud is so easy to spot and yet nothing is done about it, especially in Minnesota:

Senator Joni Ernst identified a potential fraud going on in Minnesota back in a January interview.
According to the Senator, it involves a questionable earmark included in the Federal government budget that was allegedly pushed by Minnesota Congresswoman, Ilhab Omar.
According to Ms. Enest, the earmark request was for more than $1 million in funding for a substance abuse clinic in Minnesota that allegedly shared the same physical address with a Minnesota restaurant.
Her and a fellow Senator, Mike Lee, sent a letter to the Department of Justice requesting an investigation into what looks like what could be a shady operation.
Eventually the earmark of the combo restaurant/clinic was dropped and never got funded, possibly because it was bogus and would be uncovered.

You at least have to give Minnesota credit for this unique potential combination: a restaurant/medical clinic sharing the same address, almost as good as the California combo where a combination burrito stand and autism center shared the same address.

4)Let’s go to a different state for a change and leave Minnesota, at least for a short side trip:

The Open the Books organization obtained Medicaid records from the Centers For Medicare and Medicaid services relative to Massachusetts from 2018 to 2024.
They analyzed non-emergency medical transportation claims from companies operating transportation services, services that cost the taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars a year.
Their analysis uncovered two fraud schemes operating within this transportation program.
A Waltham, Massachusetts company, JBM Health and Educational Services, was supposed to be providing rides to and from methadone clinics.
But according to Open The Books’ work, the company collected over $770,000 from Medicaid to pay for 16.907 methadone clinic rides that never happened.
Almost 100 of the bogus trips that were billed were for transporting patients that had already died.
Fortunately the leader of this company and scheme was finally arrested in early 2026 but not before the culprit had funneled this Medicaid fraud payments into real estate and investment accounts and had sent some of the taxpayer money to Uganda.
Less than a year later, another bogus Massachusetts transportation company, Instant transportation LLC, was indicted on 17 counts including Medicaid fraud, larceny, patient abuse, identity fraud, money laundering and witness intimidation.
In a five year period, this bogus company had billed the state's Medicaid program over $3 million for transportation services that were never provided.
Thus, in five years just two fraudsters had stolen almost $3.8 million of Medicaid funds without being caught.
The Open The Books analysis showed that just in Massachusetts, the number o f Medicaid funded transportation claims rose a whopping 403%, from 4,417 in 2018 to 22,228 rides in 2023, a jump that should have been a red flag fraud warning signal well before five years expired.

Unbelievable that such massive fraud did not trip warning signals long before two fraudsters were caught providing no service whatsoever and yet collecting millions of dollars.

Fraud in Minnesota and Massachusetts. Protecting the fraudsters in California, Washington and Oregon. At least the Florida political class is finally going after the crooks with some common sense fraud busting precautions.
