HHS Deputy Secretary Jim O’Neill confirmed that UN Somalia Ambassador Abukar Dahir Osman, who also serves as the UN Security Council president, has ties to a home health agency in Cincinnati, OH, that faced accusations of Medicare fraud.
Oh, boy:
I can confirm public speculation that Ambassador Abukar Dahir Osman, Permanent Representative of Somalia to the UN and President of the Security Council, is in fact associated with Progressive Health Care Services, a home health agency in Cincinnati.
HHS has previously taken action against Progressive in response to a conviction for Medicaid fraud.
More to come.

Rumors of Osman’s involvement swirled last week when people started investigating Somali daycares in Columbus, OH, since the city has the second-largest Somali population.
LibsofTikTok, run by Chaya Raichik, posted the information on Twitter.
I do not know why Raichik decided to investigate Osman, or if someone dropped her a hint, but here we are!
Omg wait till you hear this
Somalia’s Ambassador to the UN Abukar Dahir Osman was a healthcare administrator in Ohio. There is another healthcare company in the SAME SUITE as his with a different name, and multiple others at the same address, all with Somali names
Of course… pic.twitter.com/sHv1aX1e5J

Yes, the company is still active, and Osman has other connections. From Fox News:
State records show the company remains an active Ohio corporation, though its listed contact information did not connect Fox News Digital with a verified representative. A message left for a number linked to Osman was not returned.
Osman was a supervisor within the Franklin County, Ohio, Department of Job & Family Services Adult Medicaid unit from 2007 to 2012, according to his official UN biography.
He also founded a company called Beacon Educational Services sometime between 1999 and 2005, according to the UN. He was also educated in the U.S., graduating from Illinois State University in 1986 before earning a master’s degree in Ohio and another in Wisconsin.
The New York Post called the number affiliated with Progressive Health Care Services. I’m even more suspicious:
A private citizen who said he was not affiliated with the shady company answered the phone and complained to The Post when the phone number listed for Progressive Health Care Services in public records was contacted.
“You’re like the hundredth person to call looking for Progressive Health Care Services,” the person told The Post, demanding to know where his personal contact information is listed.
“I’m thinking about changing my number now,” he said.
My head is spinning.

Kick them out. Kick them all out. Permanently. We have too much fraud being committed by American citizens. They don’t need third world competition.
The democrats would say this is crime the local citizens are too unwilling to do,
There is no need to slam Somalians. What do you expect them to do, stay in their own country after they ruined it?
And by the way, not all Somalis are bad. I heard from a reliable source that there is one good Somali somewhere or other—maybe it was a legend
“The Ghost of Ko.”
Aayan Hirsi Ali.
Sir, you did indeed find the “at least one” good Somali. She seems to fit that bill.
Agreed, but the only way to end all the fraud associated with the program is to END THE PROGRAM entirely.
The government should not be involved in the first place. Those who want such programs should voluntarily contribute their own funds to non-government programs with similar goals.
It’s really an indictment of government welfare programs when a single generation of sub-Saharans can so easily and successfully figure out how to swarm them and exploit them.
Yes and not just the welfare system. All our programs operate as if we were still in 1954 and Ike was President. The current culture is drastically different. We are no longer a high trust society where the public can generally trust the bureaucracy to be diligent stewards of our tax dollars. Nor can antiquated systems reliant upon any ‘honor system’ operate effectively b/c a large segment of the public isn’t trustworthy. See voter registration and voting processes in many States without meaningful checks or in most States a near complete lack of proactive fraud investigations, audits of process to ensure compliance (Fulton Co GA counted 315K ballots without following chain of custody in ’20 which should have voided those ballots). Until we put bureaucrats and officials who refuse to follow their statutory duty into prison, until we are willing to put voters with ineligible registration in prison, until we put scammers and those who turn a blind eye in prison we are all pissing into the wind.
Not true. The chain of custody on the ballots was not compromised. The printouts from early voting were not signed, but we know they were accurate because all ballots in the state were then hand-counted and that confirmed the machine count.
No, there was no fraud in the counting. All the ballots in the system were counted correctly. What that doesn’t tell us is how many of those ballots were cast fraudulently and therefore shouldn’t have been in the count in the first place. Those are the fraudulent votes that Trump asked Raffensperger to look for.
This is not an uncommon phenomenon with “ refugees “ from oppressive countries. The people who make it big in those countries are usually aligned with the ruling class of politicians and are well trained in the art of taking. When they get displaced, kicked out or for whatever reason come here it is their first nature to look to the government for their businesses and scams.
Well, they had help from the Biden* administration, with the EO to not require enrollment checks to justify the money being handed out.
can’t kick them out!
where would all politicos who brought them here get their “contributions”
Tou can;t arrest him but you can kick him out, Kick him out.
I would actually like to see him grabbed in the middle of a security council meeting and frog marched out in cuffs to the airport and the first available plane out to….. anywhere, Probably can’t do that tthough.
The U.S. can force a diplomat with immunity to leave by declaring them “persona non grata” (PNG), which requires their home country to recall them. After 72 hours they can snatch them up and ship them out.
Given his history he probably can’t find Somalia on the map anymore. which would make deporting him there even better.
Something tells me if he was deported he would just end up in Minnesota.
Earlier reports about his being named to run the Security Council strongly suggested that “home” for him is in fact the US, and he has tenuous official roots in Somalia at best, I can’t vouch for their correctness
Which makes it all the better to declare him persona non grata and send him to Somalia.
Of course if we didn’t allow the idiotic policy of dual citizenship, this wouldn’t be a problem.
GWB, we have no choice about dual citizenship. We do require people who are naturalizing to renounce all foreign allegiances, but even there we can’t make the other countries drop their claims.
More importantly, if someone is born with two citizenships, or is born a US citizen and is then naturalized in another country, there’s nothing we can do about it. The constitution protects his right to his US citizenship, and the only way for him to lose it is to renounce it voluntarily. To change that would require a constitutional amendment.
He isn’t a plain Joe. He is acting as an official of another country. That’s a bit different but probably not illegal.
ztakddot, it’s actually a common practice for countries that want some sort of diplomatic presence in a city, but don’t want to pay for a full-blown consulate, to appoint some resident of the host country — often a citizen of the host country — as honorary consul. That person has diplomatic immunity only for acts performed while exercising consular functions.
The smart Somalis organize it and the more numerous mass of Somalis live off the grift. It only works in an advanced country, otherwise it would just go into third world poverty all around
No matter what, Somalia should NEVER receive any US funding. We should also recover our money, and if not turn the place into a wasteland. That would fix the piracy problem.
turn the place into a wasteland
Too late.
hey but dont say we allll vote dem
dont say we all are involved in crime and welfare and freebies and blmplo blah blah fn blah
just wait until those mn juries dont convict them
so is mn part of the usa or is
it a foreign land that just happens to be geographically located nearby???
its too bad about the somalian rep osman as we had high hopes that he was going to turn the un around and start voting a pro israel /usa agenda
and prove that the infection that blmplo has spread the world over was going to be stopped by his leadership
The culture of Somalia is not compatible with western civilization.
so true
I’d be laughing if.. no, I’m laughing. The UN is a bad joke that should have been disbanded years ago.
We should start calling it the League of Nations instead of the UN.
Seems like Somalia’s entire national budget is based on defrauding the US.
And high seas piracy. Apparently, they are running rampant again.
Trump should recognize Somaliland.
