The Ohio Fraud Story that Just Won’t Go Away

The Somalian community childcare, health care/transportation and other government services fraud is a story that just won’t go away. It is percolating under the surface like a ticking time bomb.

After the independent journalists’ reports on the Minneapolis massive fraud in the Somalian community of Greater Minneapolis by Nick Shirley, attention quickly turned to the second-largest Somalian community in America, Columbus, Ohio.

Quickly, independent investigative journalists began knocking on doors and doing a search of addresses where money from state government was sent for the purposes of childcare, health care, and transportation services. The shocking reports revealed that these were empty offices. The childcare facilities had few or no children coming or going, and yet these entities received hundreds of thousands, and in some cases, millions of dollars from state and federal government.

This did not escape the attention of some state officials who began doing their own investigations into the allegations and whistleblower reports. State Auditor Keith Faber and his staff are working to secure more records for review. State Attorney General Dave Yost stood in a press conference with State Rep. Josh Williams, supporting legislation that would grant more overseeing authority of these programs by the state legislature and State Auditor’s office. Forty-two House members co-signed the legislation.

One has to wonder, where is this all going? It is obviously a story that is not going away, as more information comes to light. A word of warning to those in government who are hiding the truth and that are culpable – to hide a crime is a crime. Thank you for listening to News in Focus.

President's Day - History with Bill Federer of The American Minute

George Washington was born on February 22nd. Americans wanting to celebrate his legacy and memory sought to have a specific day on the calendar to celebrate George Washington. Later, Abraham Lincoln was added, as his birthday was February 12th. In 1971, The Uniform Monday Holiday Act, moved it to a Monday in February for All President's Day. Tune in and listen as Bill Federer gives the history of the man we know as our first President, George Washington, and our 16th President, Abraham Lincoln, who saved the Union and ended slavery.

Don Lemon arrested by the FBI in the Cities Church Attack in St. Paul

A grand jury has indicted former CNN host Don Lemon in the Cities Church St. Paul protest attack. Federal authorities arrested Don Lemon last night at his hotel in Los Angeles. The Justice Department had been turned down by a federal judge for additional arrests in the Cities Church protest attack, but a grand jury has issued indictments for Mr. Don Lemon and three other co-defendants, bringing the total number of arrests of participants in the Cities Church protest attack to seven. Joining me to discuss the charges through the FACE Act is pro-life activist Mark Harrington, President of Created Equal. We discuss the climate on college campuses and universities in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's assassination. Conservative student groups are repositioning themselves to engage on the issues with their fellow students as they are confronted with a new climate of fear and potential violence.

A Statement from the Christian Alliance of America and the Ohio Christian Alliance on the Attack at the Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota.

On Sunday, January 18th, at Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, a large group of protesters barged into the sanctuary during the Sunday morning worship service, yelling and screaming at the congregants. The small congregation was terrified by the large group of protesters that overcame their church flock. The pastor tried to reason with the protestors, to no avail. They continued shouting and screaming. The protest rioters were led by disgraced CNN journalist Don Lemmon, who took the opportunity to live-stream the event on social media. Reports from the church show that children, youth, and older congregants were terrified. The radical agitators that barged into the church, disrupting the Christian worship service, were obviously violating the First Amendment rights of these Minnesotans.

President Trump announced last May during the National Day of Prayer observance that he was opening a Faith Office in the Whitehouse to address religious freedom.

That is why today, we are calling on the federal authorities to swiftly move and arrest those who violated the rights of these Christian believers. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. stated, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” It is imperative that state and federal public officials act swiftly to bring these violators to justice. Today, we are calling on Governor DeWine, our U.S. Senators, and members of Congress to make statements condemning the actions of those militant protestors that violated the First Amendment rights of our fellow Christians. The Ohio Christian Alliance will be monitoring the statements from public officials and reporting back to our church network statewide.

Ohio Christian Alliance, in 2021, spoke out against a similar church attack in downtown Columbus at St. Joseph’s Catholic Cathedral, when a group of leftist radicals entered the church and disrupted the Mass, terrorizing congregants. On the following Sunday, OCA President Chris Long with Attorney General Dave Yost attended morning services at St. Joseph’s Cathedral to show solidarity and support for the congregation and to urge the city officials to take action against the criminal violators. Law enforcement did respond, tracked down and arrested those responsible for the attack on St. Joseph’s Cathedral. Joining me on the broadcast is Pastor Bob Hess of Fresh Faith Community Church.
