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.

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.
