'Vandals' Tear Down Buffalo, NY Flag Celebrating Somali Independence
Townhall.com ^ | 3 July A.D. 2026 | Joseph Chalfant

Hours after Buffalo officials raised a foreign flag over U.S. soil to commemorate Somali independence, an unknown individual jumped into action and removed it.

A report from Buffalo Mayor Sean Ryan claims that “vandals broke the [flag pole] access panel, cut the cable and removed the Somali flag during the overnight hours.”

Ryan has set the Buffalo Police Department onto the case to find and prosecute the “vandals,” claiming that his city is “diverse” and “committed to honoring and celebrating the many cultures that make [Buffalo] stronger.”

If you believed that might include a celebration for American independence, you would be wildly incorrect. The Democrat mayor claimed that the city had canceled their plans for an Independence Day fireworks show out of safety concerns, claiming that the fireworks would have to be launched from the local river. A local reporter pressed Ryan as to whether or not the city was unable to accomplish such a herculean task, to which Ryan responded that he “didn’t want to do it on a barge in the river because we’re already doing it on August 2nd on a barge in the river.”

Who tore down that disgusting foreign flag? I really don’t know.

But it might have been one of these guys.

Somalians are like termites, like ticks, like liver flukes.

A friend of mine teaches at a big-city high school. The school has a good number of immigrant Somali students.

She tells me that the black American students despise the Somali students. And that’s because the Somalis are arrogant and very filthy. And they have no desire to change.

Thanks, George W. Bush.
Thanks, Barack Obama.
Thanks, Joe Biden.

Thanks for nothing.

I will happily contribute to this patriot Vandal’s defense fund, should he or she be apprehended and indicted.
