2 Big Stories Not on DU

[Texacon]

There are 2 big stories I keep waiting to see something about on DU and so far it has been crickets.  If any of you see a mention of these stories can you bring a link over?

1.)  The 315,000 votes that were illegally counted in GA.

2.)  These fraud claims that are popping up all over MN and it looks like it's moving into OH now.

I haven't seen anything on either of those stories.  I'm guessing they haven't gotten their spin/talking points yet, on how to talk to the "little people" about it, and explain how both of those are actually good things.

Viral video alleging day care fraud in Minnesota draws FBI response
A viral video allegedly showing abandoned day cares in Minnesota drew the attention of the FBI and Vice President JD Vance, the latest in a wave of scrutiny on the state amid an ongoing fraud investigation targeting social services.

The video by online conservative influencer Nick Shirley shows him visiting multiple day care centers in Minnesota that appear to be abandoned despite being licensed to serve dozens of children and receiving public funds.

Since being posted on Dec. 26, Shirley's 42-minute long video has racked up over 100 million views on X. Vance applauded the video, writing on social media, "This dude has done far more useful journalism than any of the winners of the 2024 @pulitzercenter prizes."

On Dec. 28, FBI Director Kash Patel weighed in, saying the bureau is "aware of recent social media reports in Minnesota," adding that the FBI has already "surged" investigative resources to the state to probe the alleged fraud.

If there's fraud going on it should be dealt with. If you think this will distract from folks who will soon see their health insurance rates go up you have your head up your ass.

I'm going to pile them up in here as I find them.  If you find one, just post it in here.

I'm guessing the DUmmies are for the fraud in MN?

As happened in England, calling out crimes by minorities risk being canned a racist. There, hundreds of girls got raped or groomed and abused. In MN, OH, and ME (and possibly WA?), it was "just" 10s of billions in fraud.

The thread, at the moment, has just 2 Replies. Here's one with what I expected:

1. Exactly, instead of dealing with the fraud they want to attack people for their race, religion, etc

But we know right wingers only get upset if certain people are committing fraud or other crimes. They puck their own to be President .

I guess dealing with massive multi-state fraud with arrests and calling out the grossly obvious ethnic pattern is somehow racism. Do DU-folk really believe that were the fraudsters Finnish instead of Somalis Trump's FBI would ignore a grossly obvious pattern?

BTW, pointing out the grossly obvious pattern is different from saying, "All Somalis are ______."

I'd offer another possible explanation, which is that the left is so self-righteous that they aren't going to bother addressing these stories. It's their way of saying "Yeah? What are you going to do about it?".

These new videos coming out by that young guy who is an independent journalist, are really starting to stir the pot.  They are getting big air and it's going to be hard for them to turn a blind eye to.  Tim Walz is in deep with this one.  Interestingly enough, while all this has gone on under his watch, AND whistle blowers warned him of it ... he evidently didn't take any money for himself, or he's done a very good job of hiding it.
