CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JANUARY 2, 2026
IN LIGHT OF THE FRAUD IN MINNESOTA THAT CAUSED AMERICAN TAXPAYERS AT LEAST $9 BILLION – PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYS IT WAS MORE LIKE $18 BILLION – WHAT SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT IT? THE MONEY ALLEGEDLY WAS SENT OVERSEAS, SOME OF IT REPORTEDLY TO JIHADI GROUPS. SOME OF IT BENEFITTED THE FRAUDSTERS. IT IS UNLIKELY THE MONEY WILL BE RECOVERED AS IN SO MANY FRAUD CASES.
THERE WILL BE INVESTIGATIONS BUT NO ONE PROMINENT WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE, PROBABLY NOT EVEN MINNESOTA GOVERNOR TIM WALZ WHO IS RUNNING FOR RE-ELECTION IN THE FALL.
I SEE THREE POSSIBLE SCENARIOS. FIRST, ELECT DIFFERENT PEOPLE WHO WILL DO SOMETHING ABOUT FRAUD. SECOND, CONVENE A CONVENTION OF STATES WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TO BALANCE THE BUDGET AND RETURN POWER TO THE PEOPLE.
THIRD, THE MOST RADICAL SUGGESTION OF ALL: A MASSIVE REBELLION AGAINST FEDERAL INCOME TAXES. STOP SENDING WASHINGTON OUR MONEY UNTIL THEY CLEAN UP THEIR ACT.
DEPRIVING POLITICIANS OF MONEY IS LIKE CUTTING-OFF DRACULA’S BLOOD SUPPLY. THAT WILL GET THEIR ATTENTION MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE. WHO WILL LEAD THE REBELLION? MORE ABOUT THIS IN MY COLUMN NEXT WEEK. I’M CAL THOMAS.
