DECEMBER 15 2025: Asha Hassan has confessed to defrauding Minnesota Autism Services of more than $14 million in taxpayer funds.

So, About Those MN Somalis Who Assaulted Nick Sortor and Took His Camera ... Just GUESS Where They Work

Nick Sortor has been on the ground in Minneapolis reporting on the insanity there for quite a while now, and no matter how many times he's attacked, he stays because, like us, he realizes the mainstream media will not report the truth about what is happening there.

They robbed him this time.

Watch:

So, originally, there was a post above Sortor's that gave the information on the license plate and individuals who appear to have assaulted and robbed Sortor, but X has since removed it and claimed it went against X's rules.

Luckily, we all saw it before it was deleted:


AI Overview

Recent investigations in Minnesota have uncovered massive, multi-million dollar fraud schemes targeting state-funded autism services (EIDBI - Early Intensive Developmental and Behavioral Intervention). These investigations, which stem from the broader "Feeding Our Future" scandal, have led to federal charges against several individuals, with prosecutors estimating the total fraud could exceed $1 billion across various programs

. 

Key Aspects of the Minnesota Autism Fraud Scheme

  • Massive Overbilling & Fictitious Services: Providers are accused of billing for intensive autism therapy services that were never provided, or were provided by unqualified individuals.

  • "Recruiting" and Bribing Parents: Operators allegedly bribed parents to enroll their children in centers, with some children allegedly not having autism, while others were brought to centers simply to facilitate billing.

  • Kickbacks and Fraudulent Billing: Owners reportedly paid kickbacks to families to keep them in their programs and used transportation drivers—who were also on the center's payroll—to transport children, billing the state for these services as well.

  • $14 Million Scheme (Smart Therapy): Asha Farhan Hassan, owner of Smart Therapy, was charged and pleaded guilty to a $14 million Medicaid fraud scheme. She was also implicated in the "Feeding Our Future" scheme.

  • Connection to Other Frauds: Many involved in the autism fraud were previously tied to the $250 million "Feeding Our Future" food aid program, indicating a network of individuals exploiting multiple government systems. 

Impact on the System

  • Rapid Growth and Lack of Oversight: Funding for Minnesota autism centers increased from roughly $2.2 million in 2018 to $228 million in 2024, with the number of providers jumping from 41 to 439.

An Army of Nightmares: Virginia Democrats Unleash a Torrent of Horrific Legislation for 2026

It’s a list so long that it’s better to just direct readers to the link rather than provide samples here. Spoiler alert: it includes every wet dream of every Democrat nationwide, and a foretaste of what’s looming on the horizon come next election.

All as promised this past November 5th after Virgina’s Democrats regained control:

ELECTION 2025: Democrats dramatically expand control over General Assembly

Democrats flipped 13 House of Delegates seats through the statewide election on Nov. 4. The party came out of the night with an impending trifecta — only several seats shy of a supermajority.

Before Election Day, Democrats held 51 seats in the House compared to Republicans’ 49, a slim margin. Democrats now hold 64 seats compared to Republicans’ 36 — the best position the party has held in decades.

The new cast of the General Assembly reflects Democrats’ statewide ticket: Abigail Spanberger, Ghazala Hashmi and Jay Jones — who just became the first female governor of Virginia, first Muslim woman to hold statewide office and first Black attorney general of Virginia respectively. 

Much of Democrats’ legislation did not pass the General Assembly under Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin, who set a record number of vetoes during his third year in office, opposing 201 bills, according to The Virginia Public Access Project. 

With Youngkin out and Spanberger in, some lawmakers and lobbyists are already preparing to introduce more ambitious legislation during the next session in January.

And for the country?

Schumer reveals 'bipartisan' plans to reverse DOGE cuts as lawmakers work through funding push

House Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said he would press to restore funding cut by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and even add to the original amounts.

Schumer made the comments when he was asked Thursday if he would work to replenish funding for the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) at a forum held by the Center for American Progress.

"If you look at the budget we’re working on right now, we restore most of the cuts. And even go higher than previous years on many of the programs that DOGE slashed," Schumer said.

The Republicans have done nothing to prevent or even delay this because the trillions of waste and fraud in our social welfare economy stick to their pockets and keep them in power every much as the benefits accrue to their allies across the aisle.

So what's up with this? Anyone know?

“Scott and icy franz awarded for outstanding community service”

Two of Greenwich’s most generous supporters — giving both fiscal and personal service — were greatly responsible for establishing the Teen Center 25 years ago and have continued their involvement in the enterprise over the decades. They are also staunch supporters (and friends, I believe) of Fred Camillo, so I’m curious what’s happening here, and whether the Franz’s are on board with the Teen Center’s closing.

I have no idea what’s going on, so I’m asking.

Teen Center Files Lockout Lawsuit against Town of Greenwich in Housing Court 

The Arch Street Teen Center has operated at 100 Arch Street by Roger Sherman Baldwin Park for decades. Despite a $1.00-a-year lease for the historic building located right off I95 exit 3 – adjacent to both the town ferry docks a Parks Dept building, and of course, Greenwich Harbor – extensive fundraising was required for the non-profit to maintain the building, its mechanicals and pay for utilities.

The Teen Center now operates out of Crush Table Tennis space at 255 Field Point Road where activity revolves around ping pong and DJ events.

The teen center opened in October 1991 inside the 1870 building at 100 Arch Street, originally a horse barn for the Bruce Family estate.

In 2016, the non-profit celebrated its 25th anniversary. To mark the milestone, the Greenwich Library Oral History Project published “Arch Street Teen Center – 25th Anniversary 1991-2016,” a collection of interviews with former State Senator Scott Frantz; board member Judith Donahue and director Kyle Silver who talked about  the longest running teen center in America.  At the time Mr. Silver estimated there were about 15,000 teens visits a year and dances often sold out.

This week a lawsuit  filed in housing court pits plaintiff, the Teen Center against the defendant, the Town of Greenwich.

A “Verified Lockout Complaint” was filed in judicial District Housing session at Stamford saying the plaintiff, “Greenwich Teen Center, Inc.” has been in possession of premises at 100 Arch Street since October 1991 and alleging that on or about January 5, 2026, the defendant entered the premises and locked the plaintiff out by padlocking the door, changing the locks and, “The defendant put metal brackets on every door of the building. The defendant opened the plaintiff’s boxes and possessions including their safe and have denied the plaintiff access to the property.”

Further, the complaint alleges the defendant prevented the plaintiff from occupying the premises since Jan 5, 2026.

Lastly, the application for temporary injunction asserts, “The plaintiff, a non-profit teen center, is a longstanding tenant of the Town of Greenwich which operates a teen center including a recording studio and theatrical space. The plaintiff’s lease expired December 31, 2025. On January 5, 2026 the defendant locked the plaintiff out of the premises, including from its sound equipment, lighting equipment, business records, personal property, etc.”

Cryptic Message from Freddie:

On Friday, First Selectman Fred Camillo said in his weekly e-blast that he planned to make an official announcement about a new task force to determine the best future use of the historic building at 100 Arch Street.

“For the past 36 years, the Greenwich community has enjoyed having the longest running teen center in the entire country,” he wrote, adding gratitude to Scott and Icy Frantz  for starting the Arch Street Teen Center all those years ago, along with the many board members who volunteered to keep the teen center going.

“Sadly, the time has now come for the next phase for this beautiful building on Arch Street, right by Greenwich Harbor,” Camillo continued, adding that the new task force would develop an RFP so the town can immediately start to look at the best possible use for the building.

Neera Tanden Fooled by AI Video Featuring Viking in Bathtub on Wheels Escaping Pursuing ICE Agents

On Sunday, former Biden Administration advisor Neera Tanden* quickly deleted a repost of a fairly obvious AI video of a Viking in a bathtub being chased by ICE agents. How did she fall for something so fake? The answer is TDS, of course.

(Not the actor, but someone with the same name and even worse politics, if that’s possible)

*Not being a complete political junkie, I’d never heard of the lady and had to look her up. Turns out, she was a top player in the Clinton, Obama, and Biden administrations and now heads up the Center for American Progress, a dark money leftist org funded by George Soros, Apple, Wells Fargo, the UAE, and a variety of undisclosed, big-money donors.

Yale Law graduate, of course.

Maine Secretary of State refuses to issue new federal license plates amid ICE activity concerns

According to Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, the BMV recently received a request from U.S. Customs and Border Protection [and the U.S. Marshall’s Service] for undercover Maine plates. That request comes as rumors swirl about possible U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity in Maine and amid concerns about federal law enforcement activity in other states.

Bellows says the state has not revoked any plates already in use but has paused new ones until officials can be assured Maine plates won’t be used for what she calls “lawless purposes.”

Read Bellows full statement below:

“The Maine Bureau of Motor Vehicles received a request for confidential, undercover Maine license plates from U.S. Customs and Border Protection. These requests in light of rumors of ICE deployment to Maine and abuses of power in Minnesota and elsewhere raise concerns. We have not revoked existing plates but have paused issuance of new plates. We want to be assured that Maine plates will not be used for lawless purposes.”

Enforcement of federal immigration laws is not laless: interference with the execution of those laws is. Bellows is the same person who tried unsuccessfully to keep Donald Trump off the Republican primary ballot, sued to stop the turnover of voter registration data to the DOJ, and this week order all employees to immediately report any signs of ICE presence or activities around state offices, including DMV sites.

An ambitious darling of the left, s announced her candidacy for Governor last summer.

1/19/26: Additional details:

Ryan Guay, a supervisory deputy U.S. Marshal for the U.S. Marshals Service District of Maine, said he went Friday to register the agency’s fleet of vehicles via email with the secretary of state’s office and was told the state is not offering “covert status” for federal agencies.

In the past, Guay said the Marshals Service has been able to obtain undercover plates in order to carry out law enforcement operations. The marshals service is a federal agency that supports the judicial branch, including by executing federal court orders, providing security for the judiciary, managing federal prisoners and apprehending criminals.

Guay said he was surprised to learn of the change and was not told it is temporary. He said he was not given a specific reason for the change and said it poses a safety risk for the marshals service.

“This is a drastic change from historical precedent that gives us great concern,” he said. “We often do sensitive investigations or deal with protected persons, and we don’t want to advertise that they’re affiliated with us.”

Guay said Saturday that he was trying to figure out next steps for his agency.

“I’m engaged with our national office and offices around the country to kind of figure out what to do, as this is not a common occurrence at all,” he said.

UPDATE from New Mexico:

The pathetic state of the Episcopal Church today

From NPR  (where else?)

Bishop Rob Hirschfeld [image below] was one of several community and faith leaders gathered in Concord, N.H., for a vigil for Renee Macklin Good just days after she was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Minneapolis.

“I’ve asked [clergy] to get their affairs in order to make sure they have their wills written,” he said, “because it may be that now is no longer the time for statements, but for us with our bodies to stand between the powers of this world and the most vulnerable.”

Those of a certain age may remember a far different Episcopal Church, which came to being as an offshoot of the Church of England. When this blogger was a boy the Episcopal Church was the society church. The church of presidents and captains of industry. The church to which half the signers of the Declaration of Independence belonged. The church once described by a wit as “the Republican party at prayer.” [And by Mark Twain as “rich Catholics” — ED]

Those days are long gone. The Episcopal Church over the last 50 years has mutated into a shallow political institution that embraces every left-wing cause that sprouts up, particularly those that have found favor with the media and well-placed members of the radical left. It should therefore come as no surprise the church’s membership has dropped every one of those last fifty years and continues to drop.

NPR, however, is taken in by dolts like the Right Reverend Hirschfeld, who personifies the contemporary Episcopalian when, with exquisite self-importance, urges on his colleagues the proposperous suggestion they”write their wills,” in the expectation of their coming martyrdom. It’s not at all a stretch to imagine those idiots seeing themselves as 21st century equivalents of the early Christian martyrs. Regardless their motives though, they exemplify the elitist institution claiming to be church, at which fewer than one percent of American church goers belong.

The question is, will "Broiler Pan Sue" come out of retirement and join them on the barricades?

NYC socialists mustering army of 4,000 anti-ICE activists to bring Minnesota tactics to Big Apple

New York City socialists are mustering an army of more than 4,000 anti-ICE activists to form “rapid response” battalions and obstruct the feds in an expected imminent crackdown on illegal migrants in the Big Apple.

Mayor Mamdani’s comrades with the DSA outlined the mission Thursday at a monthly meeting of their Immigrant Justice Working Group in the swanky Midtown digs of the Chinese Communist Party-linked People’s Forum, where photos of communist idols Fidel Castro and Che Guevara decorate the walls.

“As we’ve seen in other cities, we still do anticipate a big wave of federal immigration enforcement,” a DSA leader who only identified herself as Marina told the crowd of more than 100 members.

The NYC chapter is training 2,000 DSA members and another 2,000 non-members, along with activating 50 additional trainers.
