Omar, He's Making Eyes at Me
SteynonLine ^ | July 21, 2025 | Mark Steyn

~Ladies and gentlemen, the next mayor of Minneapolis...

Mogadishu?

Nope - Minneapolis victory party of Omar Fateh after he won the MN Democratic endorsement pic.twitter.com/QzBwVWPbC2 — End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) July 20, 2025

Minnesota Nice is looking more and more like Minnesota Suicidal. Whatever else may be said of it, in Mogadishu it would be considered weird - and kind of pathetic - to make, say, Garrison Keillor the mayor. In that sense, notwithstanding an IQ down at Congressional-approval level, Somalis are smarter than western progressives.

Which brings me to our regular, if increasingly obnoxious, "As I was saying twenty years ago..." feature. This is from my boffo demographic bestseller of 2006 and was prompted by a melancholy visit to the final resting place (in St Denis) of Charles Martel, hammer of the Mohammedans at the Battle of Tours/Poitiers in 732:

Poitiers was the high-water point of the Muslim tide in western Europe. It was an opportunistic raid by the Moors, but, if they'd won, they'd have found it hard to resist pushing on to Paris, to the Rhine and beyond. 'Perhaps,' wrote Edward Gibbon in The Decline And Fall Of The Roman Empire, 'the interpretation of the Koran would now be taught in the schools of Oxford...'

Hold that thought. A millennium-and-a-third later, "the interpretation of the Koran" is being taught in the schools of Oxford.

Read Camp of The Saints - 50 yrs. ago a novel, or motr likely a prophecy, of the fall of the West by third world invaders. The subtitle was “a chilling novel about the end of the white world”. Chilling to say the least and beginning to come true across the West. May the Second Coming be upon us soon.

Does the DFL endorsement mean that Frey can’t run as DFL?

“Does the DFL endorsement mean that Frey can’t run as DFL?”

Frey can still run as a DFL’er and trust me, he will.

His campaign is well-organized and he has lots of money - especially from the downtown crowd that doesn’t want a Somali Socialist sitting in the mayor’s office.

The city is heavily DFL but there are are enough Independents, mainstream Democrats and Republicans who, though they don’t like Frey, will not vote for Omar Fateh.

Good one

I’d say “brothers of different mothers.” But in the case of Somalis, I believe the expression is, “brothers of different mothers who are married to their brothers.”

I found Steyn’s 2006 bestseller accurate and depressing. Now it’s being fulfilled.

But the right to bear arms should prevent the Islamic takeover. I’m not too confident about Europe.
