Minnesota got looted for BILLIONS while Walz, Omar, and Ellison protected the Somali fraud machine for votes. •$250M fake meals → Lambos & Dubai palaces •$400M autism scam → kickbacks & ghost clinics •$300M housing fraud → cash suitcases to Somalia & Al-Shabaab Omar took their dirty money and praised the scams. Ellison slow-walked every probe. Walz signed the waivers and cried “racism” instead of doing his damn job. Trump just killed TPS for the fraudsters. Good. Now arrest the politicians who enabled it. Minnesota deserves better than these vote-chasing cowards.

Share 4 Tweet Pocket 4 Shares Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D., Ill.) defended Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) from charges of anti-Semitism by arguing she should receive some leeway because of her upbringing in Somalia. Her family moved to the United States in 1995 when she was 14 years old. This means that she has been in this country for nearly 25 years. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told CNN that Rep. Omar’s controversial remarks about Israel were “just part of a learning process.” How long does it take her to learn? She got elected because of her views. Her Minnesota district is...

In the wake of news stories about the massive frauds that have been perpetrated in Minnesota–stories that we have been writing about here, for years–President Trump is moving to revoke temporary protected alien status for Somalis in Minnesota: [President Trump's X post] Unfortunately, this action (assuming Trump follows through) will have no practical impact, since there are only a few hundred Somalis on TPS in Minnesota, and fewer than 1,000 across the country. The Somali situation in Minnesota reflects different problems in our immigration laws–specifically, the broad “refugee” entitlement and chain immigration of alleged relatives. The Star Tribune weighed in...

Minnesota, under Governor Waltz, is a hub of fraudulent money laundering activity. I am, as President of the United States, hereby terminating, effective immediately, the Temporary Protected Status (TPS Program) for Somalis in Minnesota. Somali gangs are terrorizing the people of that great State, and BILLIONS of Dollars are missing. Send them back to where they came from. It’s OVER! President DJT

President Donald Trump Friday evening said he was ending deportation protections for Somalis in Minnesota "effective immediately." "Minnesota, under Governor [Tim] Walz, is a hub of fraudulent money laundering activity," Trump posted on Truth Social. He continued, "I am, as President of the United States, hereby terminating, effective immediately, the Temporary Protected Status (TPS Program) for Somalis in Minnesota." Trump claimed that "Somali gangs are terrorizing the people of that great State, and BILLIONS of Dollars are missing. Send them back to where they came from. It’s OVER! President DJT." Minnesota has a sizable Somali population and the TPS program...

Minnesota is drowning in fraud. Billions in taxpayer dollars have been stolen during the administration of Governor Tim Walz alone. Democratic state officials, overseeing one of the most generous welfare regimes in the country, are asleep at the switch. And the media, duty-bound by progressive pieties, refuse to connect the dots. In many cases, the fraud has allegedly been perpetrated by members of Minnesota’s sizeable Somali community. Federal counterterrorism sources confirm that millions of dollars in stolen funds have been sent back to Somalia, where they ultimately landed in the hands of the terror group Al-Shabaab. As one confidential source...

Newly re-elected Minneapolis Democratic Mayor Jacob Frey is facing backlash from conservatives for giving a victory speech in Somali and saying that Minneapolis welcomes Somalians. In a video of the speech posted online, Frey can be seen leading chants in Somali as the crowd responds and applauds. Popular conservative influencer Paul Szypula ripped into the progressive mayor, writing, “The pandering here is insane.” “Mayor Jacob Frey, as he won reelection, spoke almost a minute in Somalia then said Minneapolis belongs to Somalia,” said Szypula. In a second round of nonpartisan ranked-choice voting, Frey narrowly defeated a challenge from socialist Minneapolis...

Trump shares footage of Rep. Ilhan Omar saying “Somalia is our home” during a Minnesota rally, urging her to “go back” to Somalia.US President Donald Trump on Saturday criticized Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), a member of “The Squad” of anti-Israel Democrats, in a post on Truth Social. “She should go back!” Trump wrote, sharing a video of Omar addressing a crowd in Minnesota and saying “Somalia is our home” and referring to the President of Somalia as “our President”. The President has repeatedly suggested Omar should be removed from the country. In September, he told reporters in the Oval Office,...

I have met quite a few nice Somalis. But, beyond doubt, I believe that the admission of hundreds of thousands of Somali refugees has been a terrible mistake. There is no definitive count on the precise number of Somali refugees there are here, which in itself is troubling, but living in a Blue city where they make up a significant voting bloc I can tell you that their influence on our politics has been poisonous. Flashback to when Omar Fateh, Democrat mayoral candidate for Minneapolis, bragged about his involvement with the organization, Feeding Our Future, which was recently found guilty...

DJIBOUTI, Sep 30, 2002 (AP Online via COMTEX) -- Several dozen American soldiers raise a big green tent and shuffle it across the sand, making room for yet more equipment at a new U.S. military base that is growing larger by the day in this small but strategically located country in the Horn of Africa. While their colleagues rearrange their living quarters, other soldiers in sunglasses and floppy hats keep watch at the entrance to Camp Le Monier from a machine gun-mounted Humvee. The five-month-old U.S. base in this former French colony just miles across the Red Sea from...

From 7/7 to Manchester 2025 – the story they refuse to tellAfter the Manchester synagogue attack, I began tracing two decades of Islamic terrorism in Britain – uncovering a disturbing pattern hidden in plain sight. This is not prejudice. It’s record-keeping – and a warning about policies putting us all at risk.ManchesterI didn’t learn about the Manchester synagogue terrorist attack until I opened my phone after Yom Kippur had ended. I had also missed messages from my cousin, who had witnessed the event and been evacuated from her home by the police.By 7:30 the following morning, I had already traced...

This week, federal officials made an astounding announcement: Nearly half of all immigrants in greater Minneapolis were found to have committed some form of immigration fraud. The fraud, uncovered in a September sweep, came in all kinds — sham marriages, fake death certificates and “other bizarre schemes,” as US Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Joseph Edley put it. But the revelation was no great surprise to those of us who have followed the settlement of some 100,000 Somali immigrants in Minnesota over the past three decades. As far back as 2008, the State Department temporarily suspended one of the family...

It is no longer the 19th century, and so British recognition of a Palestinian state, let alone that of Canada and Australia, means absolutely nothing. Contrary to arguments that Israel “occupies” Gaza, the would-be state has never been a stand-alone entity. Control over disputed territories passed from the Ottomans to the British to the Jordanians and Egyptians. It is telling that neither Jordan nor Egypt recognized the West Bank and Gaza as a Palestinian state. Most Palestinians came from outside the region, as early 20th-century censuses show. If Canberra, Ottawa, and London — the Axis of Pandering — wish to...

The State Department on Thursday said it was monitoring social media accounts of foreign nationals "praising, rationalizing, or making light" of conservative activist Charlie Kirk's fatal shooting. Kirk, 31, was killed Wednesday while speaking at Utah Valley University. His killer remains at large. "In light of yesterday's horrific assassination of a leading political figure, I want to underscore that foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country," Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau said in a post on X. "I have been disgusted to see some on social media praising, rationalizing, or making light of...

After ravaging countries in Africa, the Middle East, and India, swarms of locust have now made their way to Europe as the Italian region of Sardinia recently saw its worst attack in 70 years. Around 30 000 ha (74 000 acres) of crops have been affected in Nuoro City alone, according to the Italian Journalist Agency (AGI). "When the locusts arrived in mid-May, my cabbages were small, it wasn't harvesting time yet, they were all still in the field. Then the swarm came through, started to devour all the leaves, leaving only the stem," a Sardinian farmer named Giovanni said....

Democratic socialist and Minneapolis mayoral candidate Omar Fateh, a Somali American, is being knocked for holding a political rally in a foreign language that appeared entirely devoid of any American flags. This comes as Fateh, who has been likened to socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, lost a critical endorsement from the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL). House Majority Whip Rep. Tom Emmer, R-Minn., commented on the rally, saying in an X post, "This is the least shocking news: There were almost no American flags at a @OmarFatehMN rally. Palestinian stickers were the main focus instead." "That’s what you...

A progressive House "Squad" member is attacking her own state party leadership for going back on its endorsement of a self-described democratic socialist to be mayor of Minneapolis. Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., called out the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL), the Democrats' affiliate group in Minnesota, late on Thursday night after it revoked its endorsement of state Sen. Omar Fateh. DFL leaders cited "substantial failures" in its endorsement convention process. "It is inexcusable to overturn the DFL endorsement from Omar Fateh," Omar wrote on X. "A small group, a majority living outside Minneapolis, met privately to overturn the will of Minneapolis delegates...

Welcome to ... Minnesota? VIDEO AT LINK................... The chyron down at the bottom doesn't help. 👇 The last line may help you to decipher that this is Omar Fateh, the Somalian socialist who is running for mayor of Minneapolis. In this clip, there is some anger that the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (the state's branch of the Democratic Party) retracted its endorsement of Fateh. More from the Minnesota Star-Tribune: Fateh, a democratic socialist challenging Mayor Jacob Frey, won the endorsement at the end of a raucous July convention that prompted dozens of challenges amid delays and miscounted votes. The state party's Constitution,...
