You've GOT to see this report! According to officials, a meeting was held at a restaurant in Minneapolis... and it's where Somali immigrants announced that a section of Minnesota has been claimed for the government of Somalia.
The dude who made the announcement? A member of the Somalia state in the region of Galmudug.
“This is the definition of an insurrection.”

Why hasn’t Trump rid us of all this garbage yet?
How can you help?
When a nation rejects God, we will continue to see ongoing incidents of our cultural destruction.
And worse will come...
That’s a great bio =:^)

Message: Putting down an insurrection in the United States typically involves a combination of legal, law enforcement, and, in extreme cases, military actions, governed primarily by the Insurrection Act of 1807. The process involves suppressing rebellion, enforcing federal law when local authorities cannot, and restoring public order.
Here is how an insurrection is put down, according to US law and historical precedent:
1. Legal and Law Enforcement Response
Declaring an Unlawful Assembly: Law enforcement first attempts to disperse groups through standard policing methods, declaring assemblies unlawful.
Arrest and Prosecution: Under 18 U.S. Code § 2383, individuals can be prosecuted for inciting, assisting, or engaging in rebellion against the United States, facing fines, imprisonment for up to ten years, and disqualification from holding office.
National Guard Deployment: State governors can deploy their state National Guard to quell riots or domestic violence.
2. The Insurrection Act (Federal Intervention)
If state and local authorities are unable or unwilling to suppress the violence, or if federal law is being obstructed, the President can invoke the Insurrection Act (10 U.S.C. §§ 251–255). This allows for the use of federal military forces (active duty or federalized National Guard) on domestic soil, bypassing the Posse Comitatus Act, which generally prohibits federal troops from engaging in domestic law enforcement.
The Act provides three main scenarios for intervention:
State Request: A state governor or legislature requests federal help to suppress an insurrection against their government (Section 251).
Obstruction of Federal Law: The President acts without a request to address “unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages” that make it “impracticable” to enforce federal laws (Section 252).
Deprivation of Rights: The President acts to suppress an insurrection that hinders the execution of law, depriving citizens of constitutional rights (Section 253).
3. Historical Examples
Civil Rights Era: Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson invoked the Act to enforce school desegregation in the South.
1992 Los Angeles Riots: President George H.W. Bush deployed troops to Los Angeles to restore order after a request from the governor.
Reconstruction: President Grant used the Act to combat the Ku Klux Klan.
4. Constraints and Considerations
Proclamation to Disperse: Before deploying troops, the President is required by law to command the insurgents to disperse peacefully within a limited time.
Not Martial Law: The Insurrection Act does not automatically impose martial law or suspend the Constitution. Troops deployed under this act must still respect First Amendment rights and other civil liberties. Invoking the Act, particularly without a governor’s request, is considered a last resort due to risks of misuse and potential for turning the military against citizens.
“You see, you know how to *take* the land, you just don’t know how to *hold* the land. And that’s really the most important part of the land: the holding. Anybody can just take it.”
At first I thought this was a Babylon Bee article. How about this compromise? They already have a state. Send them back there free of charge!
“ Why hasn’t Trump rid us of all this garbage yet?”
Are you kidding?
I’m a combat vet and I can’t tell my own extended family I don’t want to watch the Olympic snowboarders for their ‘not feeling good about the US” without getting shut down.
I have military wife friends who ‘don’t want to discuss what’s going on in Minnesota’
I have friends in Dallas Texas who are fine with Muslims taking over the entire north side of the city. ‘My Muslim hairstylist is nice’
Americans’ definition of peace is wimpiness.
people turn on Trump for not being wimpy every step he takes.
Regards,
Actually, they have two, now!
Give them the choice of either Somalia or Somaliland!
Regards,
Remember what happened to the last guy who said that “he’s the captain now?”.
This is not a rice and bananas zone it’s a low IQ zone...
This is a moronic setup to deflect the fraud investigations.
I wonder which ‘smalie’ came up with this?
Shut it down... choke off and cut the power and energy, etc., to that area. Easy peasy
“I’m a combat vet and I can’t tell my own extended family I don’t want to watch the Olympic snowboarders for their ‘not feeling good about the US” without getting shut down.”
You don’t have the Supremacy Clause; Trump does.
(But maybe within your family you SHOULD have some type of supremacy clause.)
WHAT “Somali Government”?
Somalia is the very definition of the “Failed State”. Not so much “government” as just who the most powerful Jihadist warlord happens to be at any one moment.
Trump needs the support of the American people. He doesn’t have it yet. But he’ll get it.
“But maybe within your family you SHOULD have some type of supremacy clause.”
That’s a tough one. Bunch of irish New Yorkers. Love of a fight. It’s not all of them. It’s like when Max the producer -Alan Arkin- says to Ben affleck in Argo - you’ve seen the Ayatollah? Try the WGA.
When people get the idea to hate Trump everything including Catholicism going back to the 1,200s goes out the car window.
I have never seen anything like it.
Find the total theft of taxpayer dollars in this area.
Double it and label them tariffs.
When the last dime is found, round them up and bus the to Mexico or Canada
I think that the Somali community is about to receive a federal hemorrhoidectomy.

TDS ... powerful stuff!
Many years ago, Key West seceded from the US, declaring itself the Conch Republic. The government instantly cut off electric power and water and set up passport controls on the only road into the keys. The government reacted with dead seriousness and the rebellion fizzled out.
Below is a Wiki article supposedly about the rebellion and it does not match my memories of actually being there. The article justified the actions. My take is it was a bunch of hippies who thought they could run a better country. The passport control, which I was caught up in, occurred after they rebellion was declared. The article is not correct.
