I cannot possibly imagine why US troops are in a place like this. Bring them home. This world policing to keep the swamp’s military/industrial complex flowing with cash needs to end.

Not sure those answers work together in this case. One is “No” and other is “Yes”.

Let’s send Ilan Omar and her family back to Somalia and see how that works out for them.

Somalia faces a tense election season that begins in the next few weeks to decide the presidency and parliament>>>>>>>

Send Ilhan Omar back to Somalia, she obtained her green card under false pretenses.

She is needed there and I am sure she can sort them all out in short order.( sarc.)

I always suspected she has a knife or gun under that hood. The smell must be overpowering.

I think the author is: Kim Du’toit. At least I found this and other essays on the location below.

This has been my opinion of Africa for about two decades. There is nothing we can do for them and to bring them here is to bring in more BLM and ANTIFA violence.

The Muslims I have known here were equally tribal and antiAmerican. They hate other Muslims as much as Americans. Basically, we should limit visas and migration to similar Christian or Christian derived cultures. Otherwise, we are gifting huge problems to our children and their children from here on out.

I am reminded of an event in a Florida restaurant. Two black women were in the booth behind me. They were discussing the trip one had taken to Africa to “find my roots.” In essence the conversation went like this. Oh, my God do those people hate us! They can tell what tribe you are from based on how you look and they hate everybody not in their tribe. If it weren’t for the guard with us, we’d all be dead. And prejudice? Holly $hit! You have never seen prejudice. I am never leaving here again.

The upcoming Somali elections may prove fairer and select a better set of rulers. That would be sooo ironic.

Somalia is a dump. There is nothing there for the US. It is good to get out of there. China wants it....they can have it.

Have the CIA and Ilhan ship some of those Ratmatic machines over there and they can fix up that election just fine. /s

I think the question these days is, “Does the Pope s—t in the woods?”

Send Ilhan Omar back. They need her there. The policies she favors will straighten out the country.

“Can SAVAGES run a country fairly?”

Run it into the ground. It takes a collective to raze a village/country.

Civilization

Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage’s whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men.

The precondition of a civilized society is the barring of physical force from social relationships—thus establishing the principle that if men wish to deal with one another, they may do so only by means of reason: by discussion, persuasion and voluntary, uncoerced agreement.

The necessary consequence of man’s right to life is his right to self-defense. In a civilized society, force may be used only in retaliation and only against those who initiate its use.

Ayn Rand
