Ilhan Omar Knew About $250 Million Somali Fraud Scheme, Convicted Mastermind Claims in Explosive Jailhouse Interview

Aimee Bock, the convicted mastermind behind the massive $250 million Feeding Our Future COVID meal fraud scandal, has dropped a bombshell from jail, saying she believes Rep. Ilhan Omar knew exactly what was going on and actively helped keep the fraudulent program alive.

Bock, the founder of Feeding Our Future, spoke to the New York Post this week from Sherburne County Jail, where she is awaiting sentencing after her March 2025 conviction on conspiracy, bribery, and wire fraud charges.

Dozens of individuals, mostly from Minnesota’s Somali community, have been convicted in the scheme that fraudulently billed the federal government for tens of millions of meals that were never served to low-income children during the pandemic.

“I struggle to believe that she wouldn’t have known,” Bock said of Omar.

Bock alleged that Omar’s office repeatedly stepped in to help secure and extend USDA waivers that dramatically loosened oversight of the child nutrition programs.

Those waivers eliminated the requirement for site inspections and allowed restaurants and other non-school entities to participate, opening the floodgates to massive fraud.

Omar personally introduced the Maintaining Essential Access to Lunch for Students (MEALS) Act in March 2020, which gave the USDA authority to issue those waivers during the pandemic.

Bock claimed there were multiple gaps when waivers were set to expire, and Omar’s office helped bridge them so the fraudulent billing could continue uninterrupted.

“There had been a couple times early on that there were some gaps – a waiver would be set to expire on maybe the 15th of a month, and then the renewal didn’t kick in until the 1st,” Bock told the paper. “Because of course this was supposed to be a short-term thing . . . we were supposed to be home for two weeks.”

Omar’s name appeared at least six times in emails and text messages entered as evidence during Bock’s federal trial.

“A lot of the sites were working directly with her, being that a lot of the operators were from the same Somali community,” Bock said. “There were a lot of people that had been reaching out to her office and staff — and I presume her personally — to work through some of those gaps with the waivers.”

The congresswoman herself filmed a promotional video in May 2020 at the Safari Restaurant in Minneapolis, a key site in the fraud.

In the video, Omar claimed the restaurant was providing 2,300 meals a day to children and families.

Congress Rejected Biden's Demand for $50 Billion in Extra Spending for Medicaid Programs. On His Own Tyrannical Authority, Biden "Authorized" $46.5 Billion of That Spending Anyway

I Am The Great Cornolio! I Cornhole Americans, and Then Make Them Lick My Bunghole! 

Bunghole!

Congress Rejected Biden's Demand for $50 Billion in Extra Spending for Medicaid Programs.

On His Own Tyrannical Authority, Biden "Authorized" $46.5 Billion of That Spending Anyway

It just so happens the money he spent on his own authority is exactly the money currently being looted from the American taxpayer by Democrat parasite groups.

The Biden administration may have failed to convince Congress to double Medicaid spending on home healthcare in 2021, but the funding increase occurred anyway.

"Home healthcare" is that very (deliberately) exploitable form of "medical spending" that people sign up for. Like if you cook a dinner for your parents -- you can charge the taxpayers for "elder care."

GO READ THE WHOLE THING.

Biden Loyalist and Registered Democrat Eric Ciaramella Perjured Himself in Denying Coordination with Adam Schiff Before Launching ImpeachmentGate 1.0

 I'm Telling The Trust, I Swear

Biden Loyalist and Registered Democrat Eric Ciaramella Perjured Himself in Denying Coordination with Adam Schiff Before Launching ImpeachmentGate 1.0

A former inspector general who fast-tracked a "whistleblower" complaint that led to the first impeachment of President Trump in 2019 knew the whistleblower was a registered Democrat and Joe Biden loyalist yet still determined his complaint was "a matter of urgent concern that appeared credible," according to newly declassified documents.

The documents also reveal the anonymous whistleblower secretly met with the Democratic staff of former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff prior to submitting his complaint in August 2019.

Yet under direct questioning, the whistleblower -- later identified by RealClearInvestigations as intelligence analyst Eric Ciaramella -- failed to disclose those contacts in interviews with IG investigators or on whistleblower forms, according to more than 350 pages of intel briefings Schiff classified as secret and locked up in a Capitol vault.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rick Crawford released the papers Monday morning after National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard declassified them late last week. Justice Department insiders say the documents factor into an ongoing grand jury investigation into an alleged "grand conspiracy" by former Obama and Biden officials to illegally target Trump in political espionage activities.

Nonetheless, IG Michael Atkinson, then the intelligence community's top watchdog, did not question the whistleblower's political motivations, truthfulness or credibility.

Trump Announces Flawless Joint US-Nigeria Raid Eliminated ISIS Global No. 2 Abu-Bilal al-Minuki – ‘He Will No Longer Terrorize the People of Africa or Help Plan Attacks on Americans’

Tonight, at my direction, brave American forces and the Armed Forces of Nigeria flawlessly executed a meticulously planned and very complex mission to eliminate the most active terrorist in the world from the battlefield. Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, second in command of ISIS globally, thought he could hide in Africa, but little did he know we had sources who kept us informed on what he was doing. He will no longer terrorize the people of Africa, or help plan operations to target Americans. With his removal, ISIS’s global operation is greatly diminished. Thank you to the Government of Nigeria for your partnership on this operation. GOD BLESS AMERICA! President DONALD J. TRUMP

California Mayor Suing State Over Sanctuary Law, Argues it Endangers Kids and Forces Cops to Violate Federal Immigration Statutes

California Mayor Suing State Over Sanctuary Law, Argues it Endangers Kids and Forces Cops to Violate Federal Immigration Statutes

Republican Mayor Bill Wells and the City of El Cajon have filed a lawsuit against California Attorney General Rob Bonta and the state itself, arguing that its sanctuary law actively encourages illegal immigration in violation of federal criminal statutes.

The lawsuit targets Senate Bill 54, which severely restricts state and local law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration authorities.

The city, backed by the America First Policy Institute (AFPI), contends that California’s entire sanctuary regime, including driver’s licenses, in-state tuition, workplace protections, and limits on ICE cooperation, amounts to illegal “encouragement or inducement” of aliens to reside in the United States, a federal felony under 8 U.S.C. § 1324.

The lawsuit was sparked when Homeland Security officials alerted El Cajon police about approximately 52 undocumented children potentially living in unsafe conditions alongside illegal alien adults, raising serious concerns about sex trafficking and exploitation.

When city officials asked the California Attorney General’s office whether officers could conduct basic welfare checks on these children, the response was effectively “no,” as doing so would violate SB 54.    

When city officials asked the California Attorney General’s office whether officers could conduct basic welfare checks on these children, the response was effectively “no,” as doing so would violate SB 54.      

A few months ago, the federal Department of Homeland Security contacted our city with a list of names and addresses of children who may be living unsupervised in unsafe conditions alongside illegal alien adults. Knowing the prevalence of human trafficking in this region, we were gravely concerned about the wellbeing of these kids. We asked the attorney general’s office a simple question: could El Cajon police conduct welfare checks on these children who are potentially in danger? The answer from the Attorney General’s office was essentially “no”– not if our officers wanted to remain compliant with California law. The AG’s office told us that doing those welfare checks would violate Senate Bill 54, the state’s sanctuary law. 

Mayor Wells explained in a Fox News op-ed:

But it's not just kids who are endangered.

In many cases it is the poor teachers who have to teach the immigrants:

"This Is a Coup": CIA Invades Tulsi Gabbard's Office - In The Executive Branch of Government - and Hauls Out Files on MKUltra, UFO's, and JFK Assassination

I think Tim Pool's take on this story is the only reasonable take I have heard.

Wait, Luna says, it didn't happen:

Luna pushes back on claims she said CIA raided Tulsi Gabbard’s office

WASHINGTON — Rep. Anna Paulina Luna pushed back Thursday against claims that she had accused the CIA of raiding the office of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, calling the narrative false and suggesting it was being orchestrated by critics.

In a post on X, Luna said large accounts were falsely stating that she claimed a raid had occurred.

“This is completely false. There is no clip or statement that exists,” she wrote. “Why is there an orchestrated push for this narrative? Not one account can post a clip of me saying that cause it never happened.”

Luna included the video from her appearance on NewsNation in which she discussed a whistleblower’s claims and documents related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and the CIA’s MKUltra program. In the interview, she described the CIA taking boxes of documents from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

“Yeah so we were actually just notified that the CIA went in and took documents out of ODNI. Multiple boxes pertaining to the JFK files as well as MKUltra,” Luna said. She noted an executive order from President Donald Trump directing full declassification of the files.

“The reason why this is troubling is A) there was an executive order that the president had directed the full declassification of JFK, but then also to the MKUltra files,” she continued. “CIA famously has said that all documents were released and other documents had been destroyed. So these are allegedly those documents that apparently never existed and so very troubling.”

Luna said she had spoken with House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and that her office was sending a document preservation request to the CIA. She also mentioned contacting the White House and the CIA director.

In the X post, Luna emphasized that Congress has a responsibility to follow up when notified of conflicting narratives from agencies.

“When Congress is notified of conflicting narratives from different agencies, i.e., the CIA and ODNI, it is our job to follow through to ensure documents are preserved and not destroyed,” she wrote. “This is not an issue with Ratcliffe or Gabbard. For people to act like the CIA doesn’t have a history of destroying documents is BIZARO-WORLD.”

The controversy erupted after Luna’s initial comments sparked headlines and social media claims of a “raid,” including segments on other networks that used the term. Critics accused her of overstating events or creating unnecessary drama while Trump was abroad in China. Supporters defended her focus on document preservation.

So, I guess what she's saying is, she never said there was a raid. She said they "took" documents.

That's a fine point, isn't it. 

AND THEN THERE'S THIS FROM FOX NEWS:

A spokesperson for the Director of National Intelligence disputed the report that the CIA raided the office of the director of national intelligence. Olivia Coleman, press secretary for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, responded to a now-deleted post, saying, "This is false - the CIA did not raid the DNI’s office."
