Welfare Fraud In Blue Cities: How Pervasive Is The Kleptocracy?

“…The Times piece appears to have given the cue to the rest of the liberal establishment that it was now OK to break the omertà previously in effect against covering the Minnesota scandal. Suddenly the story is everywhere.

Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of the Minnesota story has been the revelation of total abdication by the state’s Governor (Tim Walz) and Attorney General (Keith Ellison) of any role in catching or prosecuting the fraudsters. The frauds occurred in programs largely funded by the federal government, but administered by the State of Minnesota. The State is the one that actually paid the checks to the crooks. Yet all of the investigations and prosecutions have been done by the Minnesota U.S. Attorney’s office. It appears that Walz and Ellison could not have been less interested in prosecuting.

One might ask whether allowing fraud like this to fester is actually part of the business model of Walz and Ellison, and of the Democrat-Farmer-Labor Party (as the Democratic Party is known in Minnesota). Somalis are a key voting bloc for Minnesota’s DFL. Of the billion plus dollars of government money going to the fraudsters, might any of it have been diverted to fund DFL electoral activities? Although I haven’t seen specific reporting on this aspect, it is hard to imagine that none of it did…”

The end of the climate cult

“…It has been a long, lucrative ride. Predicting the eco-apocalypse has always been a profitable business, spawning subsidies, salaries, consulting fees, air miles, best-sellers and research grants. Different themes took turns as the scare du jour: overpopulation, oil spills, pollution, desertification, mass extinction, acid rain, the ozone layer, nuclear winter, falling sperm counts. Each faded as the evidence became more equivocal, the public grew bored or, in some cases, the problem was resolved by a change in the law or practice.

But no scare grew as big or lasted as long as global warming. I first wrote a doom-laden article for the Economist about carbon dioxide emissions trapping heat in the air in 1987, nearly 40 years ago. I soon realized the effect was real but the alarm was overdone, that feedback effects were exaggerated in the models. The greenhouse effect was likely to be a moderate inconvenience rather than an existential threat. For this blasphemy I was abused, canceled, blacklisted, called a “denier” and generally deemed evil…

…The activists who took over the climate debate, often with minimal understanding of climate science, competed for attention by painting ever more catastrophic pictures of future global warming. They changed the name to “climate change” so they could blame it for blizzards as well as heat waves. Then they inflated the language to “climate emergency” and “climate crisis,” even as projections of future warming came down…”
