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.”

US Sen Joanie Ernst told Fox News that Rep Omar’s “earmark” was presented to Congress as Omar’s do-good effort...... tax dollars for a phony Somali-invented “substance abuse clinic,”
Ernst then determined Omar perpetrated yet another funding fraud on the Congress
<><>the Somali organization was housed in a Minnesota restaurant
<><>run by three individuals who “share” the same residential Minnesota address.
Reality Check
A congressman who earmarks tax dollars for a phony cause faces severe legal and ethical penalties,
<><>including imprisonment,
<><>heavy fines,
<><>and expulsion from Congress.
This conduct falls under various federal laws related to fraud, embezzlement, false statements, and Criminal Penalties
The specific charges and penalties depend on the nature and scope of the fraud, but may include:
<><>Embezzlement/Misuse of Public Funds: Federal law prohibits the willful misapplication or embezzlement of funds that are the subject of a government grant or contract. A conviction can result in significant fines and imprisonment for up to 10 years, depending on the value of the funds.
<><>Fraud and False Statements: A congressman who makes materially false or fraudulent statements to government officials or during congressional proceedings can be charged under 18 U.S.C. § 1001, which carries a penalty of up to 5 years in prison.
<><>False Claims Act: The government can pursue civil action under the False Claims Act to recover up to three times the amount of damages sustained, plus civil penalties per false claim.
<><>Public Corruption: Abusing a position for personal gain is considered public corruption, and convicted officials may face lengthy prison sentences and Congressional Disciplinary Actions.
In addition to criminal prosecution by the DoJ, the House can take internal disciplinary actions:
Reprimand or Censure: A formal statement of disapproval requiring a majority vote.
Expulsion: The most severe punishment, requiring a two-thirds majority vote in the relevant chamber (House or Senate).
Examples of Past Action
Earmarks have been historically linked to corruption cases that resulted in jail time for members of Congress. For example, one former U.S. congressman was sentenced to 10 years in prison for orchestrating a scheme to defraud charitable donors and funneling proceeds for personal use and illegal campaign financing.
The legal and ethical consequences for such a breach of public trust are severe and can end a political career, result in substantial financial penalties, and lead to imprisonment.

Based on a February 2026 House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform letter, financial disclosures indicate that companies affiliated with Ilhan Omar’s husband, Tim Mynett (eStCru LLC and Rose Lake Capital LLC), reportedly saw a valuation jump from as much as $51,000 in 2023 to as much as $30 million in 2024, prompting fraud concerns House.gov.
Key details regarding this situation include:
Rapid Valuation Increase: The disclosed value of Mynett’s ownership stakes in eStCru LLC and Rose Lake Capital LLC, which are associated with a California winery, allegedly soared from a maximum of $51,000 to $30 million in one year House.gov.
Investigation and Concerns: The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is investigating this “sudden jump in value,” citing concerns about potential, undisclosed investors seeking to influence Representative Omar.
These developments follow previous scrutiny regarding Mynett’s firm, E Street Group, which was paid roughly $3 million by Omar’s campaign in 2020 before she severed financial ties, as reported by the Minnesota Reformer.
Despite allegations of financial issues mentioned in earlier reports, business partner Will Hailer had previously defended the potential for large returns, notes the Rhode Island Current.
Pure insanity.
Will this be enough for the leftards to finally understand what a disaster this is???
God only knows what Gov Walz will do now that Somalia is “part of” Minnesota.
As of early 2026, Governor Tim Walz has faced severe political fallout and mounting pressure due to a massive fraud investigation in Minnesota, prompting him to announce he will not seek a third term.
Based on recent developments and polling Walz’s Departure from the 2026 Race was unsurprising:
Walz announced on January 5, 2026, that he would not seek re-election, following intense scrutiny over a fraud scandal involving state child care programs, which critics argued represented a significant failure in his administration.
Before his announcement to drop out, polls showed his approval rating hit a new low of 45%, with 51% of Minnesotans disapproving of his job performance.
Some in the media—have highlighted the fraud scandal as a defining, “disastrous” element of Walz’s tenure, with some calling for his resignation before he left the race.
Following his withdrawal, the political landscape in Minnesota remains heavily focused on the ongoing fallout from these controversies, with the 2026 gubernatorial election shaping up to be highly competitive.
The decision to step down from the 2026 race marked a significant pivot for the former 2024 Democratic vice-presidential candidate, responding to a situation described by opponents as a “total failure” in oversight and management.
Predictable 👈 As I told Senator Amy Klobachar: Minnesota is a failed state! ❌ Either send in the military or build a wall and let them have it. Cut off all federal programs except Soc. Sec.
Okay, then we can send a bill to Somalia for all public services, etc.
I’m too old to be an ICE agent any suggestions?
THank you liz!
I keep the Insurrection act handy. Here’s the entire document. President Abraham Lincoln invoked the Insurrection Act at the start of the Civil War in 1861.
https://policy.defense.gov/portals/11/documents/hdasa/references/insurrection_act.pdf
Insurrection Act
10 U.S.C. §§ 331-335
Sec. 331. Federal aid for State governments
Whenever there is an insurrections in any State against its government, the President
may, upon the request of its legislature or of its governor if the legislature cannot be
convened, call into Federal service such of the militia of the other States, in the number
requested by that State, and use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary to
suppress the insurrection.
Sec. 332. Use of militia and armed forces to enforce Federal authority
Whenever the President considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or
assemblages, or rebellion against the authority of the United States, make it impracticable
to enforce the laws of the United States in any State by the ordinary course of judicial
proceedings, he may call into Federal service such of the militia of any State, and use
such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary to enforce those laws or to suppress
the rebellion.
Sec. 333. Interference with State and Federal law
The President, by using the militia or the armed forces, or both, or by any other means,
shall take such measures as he considers necessary to suppress, in a State, any
insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy, if it—
(1) so hinders the execution of the laws of that State, and of the United States
within the State, that any part or class of its people is deprived of a right, privilege,
immunity, or protection named in the Constitution and secured by law, and the
constituted authorities of that State are unable, fail, or refuse to protect that right,
privilege, or immunity, or to give that protection; or
(2) opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes
the course of justice under those laws.
In any situation covered by clause (1), the State shall be considered to have denied the
equal protection of the laws secured by the Constitution.
Sec. 334. Proclamation to disperse
Whenever the President considers it necessary to use the militia or the armed forces under
this chapter, he shall, by proclamation, immediately order the insurgents or those
obstructing the enforcement of the laws to disperse and retire peaceably to their abodes
within a limited time.
Thx
Might start by supporting the actions of this administration which DOES support our ICE and Border patrol agents! Might start by positive comments looking at glass half full vs. half empty.
