It is to laugh - the Democraps are taxing their businesses out of the state to continue The Somali Walz. 10:58 long

Federal prosecutors want to take several homes, vehicles, luxury goods and large amounts of cash from Feeding Our Future co-conspirator Salim Ahmed Said to pay toward a proposed $7.8 million judgment. Said was found guilty of 21 crimes, including wire fraud and federal programs bribery, in March 2025. He was an alleged accomplice of Feeding Our Future ringleader Aimee Bock and was the co-owner of Safari Restaurant on Lake Street, where thousands of meals were supposed to be distributed. Prosecutors argue Said’s property is connected to his crimes, which allows federal officials to seize it, according to a proposed order...

Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar posted on X to suggest that President Donald Trump should be executed. She shared a clip of an interview with Trump on Fox News with the caption "The leader of the Pedophile Protection Party is trying to deflect attention from his name being all over the Epstein files. At least in Somalia they execute pedophiles not elect them." In the video, Trump was asked about the rampant fraud in the Somali community in Minnesota, which has been the subject of DOJ investigations going back into the Biden administration. Dozens have been arrested and convicted, including primarily...

Kiros entered the United States legally as a child after her family won the Diversity Visa Lottery. The modern immigrant-activist position is simple: America is good enough to take from, but not good enough to govern itself. Her campaign materials and public statements outline that position without qualification.

EDINA, MN — An alarming new study of Minnesota schools revealed that the average Somali high school senior is only committing fraud at a 5th-grade level. While Minnesota's numbers still lead the nation, education experts said that the statistic was "a bad sign" for a state traditionally well-recognized for its students' fraud aptitude. "It's quite worrisome — the average fraud level of Minnesota's Somali seniors has been slowly declining," warned Kaylee McCaulkins, who works for Minnesota's Department of Education. "We've been throwing everything we've got at them, short of opening daycares and learing centers for them ourselves, but it's so...

It's a roughly 6-7 minute video summarizing recent congressional testimony. Republican state representative Kristin Robbins (chair of Minnesota's House Fraud Prevention Committee) testified before a Senate Judiciary Subcommittee about large-scale fraud in Minnesota's public assistance programs, particularly: Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) — fraud dating back to 2011, escalating under Gov. Tim Walz's administration, with millions allegedly funneled as cash to Somalia (some reports linking it to terrorism funding via groups like Al-Shabaab). Feeding Our Future nutrition program scandal — enabled by pandemic-era waivers (including the "Meals Act" tied to Rep. Ilhan Omar in 2020), involving fake meal claims for...

A Somali American woman who went viral for describing her identity as "bananas and rice" was one of 16 people arrested in Minneapolis and accused of participating in a riot as federal authorities escalated enforcement after clashes with protesters. The woman, Nasra Ahmed, 23, of Minnesota, rose to national prominence after remarks she made during a Jan. 21 news conference comparing Somali American identity to a cultural mix she described as "bananas and rice," a phrase that quickly spread across social media. "It’s kind of like bananas and rice," Ahmed said. "People don’t think you can eat bananas with rice,...

A man seated in the front row sprayed Omar’s chest with a syringe-like device lunging at her from his seat before being detained by law enforcement. Forensic investigators determined the substance was apple cider vinegar in the following hours, according to KARE, a local Minneapolis outlet. Omar’s office said in a statement the lawmaker “is okay” and continued her town hall “because she doesn’t let bullies win.” Authorities took the man into

🚨 BREAKING: Nasra Ahmed, the “bananas and rice” Somali, has been ARRESTED by DHS at the direction of Pam Bondi for obstructing ICE operations This is just too perfect 🤣 Ahmed LIED about being brutalized by ICE. Notice how the band-aid is gone and there’s no wound! Loser!

A police officer shot a 16-year-old boy when he refused to drop the broomstick he was holding in Salt Lake City last night. The officer was responding to an unrelated call in the Utah capital at 8.15pm when his team spotted two teenagers arguing with a man, according to the Salt Lake Tribune. Surrounding them, police allegedly told the boy to drop what he was holding - part of a broomstick. When he did not, 'shots were fired'. The boy was hit in the chest and the stomach.

Abdi Gelle Mohamed’s appearance on ICE’s ‘Worst of the Worst’ list for Minnesota is only the beginning of the real story. And hopefully the end of it. “Before we arrested Somali criminal alien Abdi Gelle Mohamed in Minnesota, he was convicted of sexually abusing a child,” ICE tweeted. What ICE didn’t mention was that it was in 1998 and we’ve been trying to deport him ever since. Mohamed illegally entered the United States in 1998, claimed that he was mentally ill and had been persecuted in Somalia (one Somali cure for mental illness is to lock the patient in a...

A Minnesota-based nonprofit focused on aiding Somalis and other East Africans is hiring someone to follow immigration agents and prevent them from making arrests. The Awood Center, named after the Somali word for “power,” released a job posting on Facebook Jan. 14 seeking an employee to assist in “rapid response,” a term activists use to describe following or recording suspected Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) actions in-person. The group’s rapid response program will “reach hundreds of Somali residents within days,” “prevent unlawful or coercive detentions” and conduct outreach at relevant facilities such as mosques, the job posting says. The Awood...

Minnesota’s Post-Assimilation RealityOur country requires a common culture.What is unfolding in Minnesota cannot be understood without first confronting a difficult truth: some cultures arrive intact. They do not dissolve on contact with modern society, nor do they gently adapt—they replicate.Somali society is organized around the clan. Loyalty is not abstract, nor is it civic. It is biological and binding. The individual exists only insofar as he serves the group. Protection, marriage, honor, silence, and punishment are governed by this code. Obligations flow inward, sanctions flow downward. The clan precedes the individual and outlives him.This structure is pre-modern, but it is...

A new video from a Walmart in Minneapolis exposes the Minnesota Somali community’s incompatibility with America by showing that they can’t understand or speak English and are unable to provide services to contribute to the economy. Conservative content creator Kevin Posobiec and Quincy Franklin, aka the Black Conservative Preacher, made a stop at Walmart to find some hand warmers, and their encounters with the non-assimilated Somali workers were hilarious. When they asked one woman for hand warmers, she responded with inaudible nonsense, adding, “I don’t know hand, hand– chicken?” The next woman they asked was visibly confused, then began shouting...

LEWISTON, Maine (NewsNation) — Survivors and families of victims from Maine’s deadliest mass shooting say they were promised 100% of donations would go to them, but discovered a year later that nearly $2 million was instead distributed to 29 nonprofits, including organizations serving immigrant communities and one facing fraud allegations. In a network exclusive, NewsNation dug into the bait and switch that has left the community outraged. The Maine Community Foundation established the Lewiston-Auburn Area Response Fund after an October 2023 shooting at a bowling alley left 18 people dead and 13 wounded. Victims and family members say they were...

Active shooter situation with multiple injuries at multiple locations in Lewiston, Maine

BREAKING - A Somalian in Minneapolis, Mubashir Hussen, claims he is suffering from “life altering” PTSD after being detained by ICE and has started a GoFundMe asking for $50,000 to help with the “trauma.” Their daycares have been turned off, so now they are scamming liberals.

Every year, the U.S. Census Bureau publishes the Annual Survey of State and Local Government Finances. This is the country’s only source for state and local spending data, allowing a detailed state-by-state comparison. The survey also divides spending data into categories, making it possible to analyze which public services states prioritize. Overall, public welfare is the largest expenditure for most states. However, the level at which states prioritize assistance programs over other public services, such as roads and police, differs. Minnesota, for instance, has a massive welfare system, dedicating a larger share of its revenue to assistance programs than most...

President Donald Trump on Sunday blasted Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-5) for her criticisms of Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) operations in Minnesota. “There is 19 Billion Dollars in Minnesota Somalia Fraud,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “Fake ‘Congresswoman’ Ilhan Omar, a constant complainer who hates the USA, knows everything there is to know. She should be in jail, or even a worse punishment, sent back to Somalia, considered one of the absolutely worst countries in the World. She could help to MAKE SOMALIA GREAT AGAIN!” In a prior post, Trump said ICE “is removing some of...

Just five days before the election of 2008, which would catapult him into the presidency, candidate Barack Obama gave a speech in which he made what is now one of his infamous statements: “We are just five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.” In typical fashion, the press was too busy making goo-goo eyes at Obama to parse out what he meant by that statement, much less ask why a “fundamental transformation” of America would be necessary or desirable. Bestselling author and commentator Mark Levin asked what is perhaps the most salient question when he said,...
