Here’s a striking statistic: A third of all Washington, D.C., district judges (known for anti-Trump rulings) are foreign-born. Does this matter?It certainly may if they’re anything like hard-left representative Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.). She said in Spanish at a recent Mexico City summit, “I’m a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American.”Then there’s Representative Deqa Dhalac (D-Maine), who was the first female Somali-born mayor in the U.S. In a resurfaced video clip, she can be heard saying, while wearing her hijab, that she wants to “help our country” (referencing Somalia). She did catch herself and follow the quoted phrase with, “our former...

In many of the countries we’re drawing migrants from, women are treated like second-class citizens, like objects to be used, abused, and discarded at some man’s will. These are not just isolated attitudes; they’re deep-seated cultural norms. And yet, we continue to welcome this disgusting mindset into our country under the left-wing banner of “tolerance and diversity.” This isn’t just reckless behavior; it’s dangerous and deadly, to boot. ... The latest case out of Minnesota proves that yet again. A 42-year-old Somali man was convicted of raping a 12-year-old girl. That’s horrifying enough on its own. But what’s even more...

Staff. July 25, 2025 Ilhan Omar’s Father and the Isaaq Genocide: The Truth Revealed. Between 1987 and 1989, the Somali military in which Colonel Nur Omar Mohamed, Ilhan Omar’s father, served as a senior officer executed a brutal and systematic campaign of genocide targeting the Isaaq people of the modern day Republic of Somaliland. This dark chapter in Africa’s history, which was known as the Isaaq Genocide, was a merciless military campaign that resulted in the killing of over 200,000 Isaaq civilians. It also involved widespread forced displacement, scorched‑earth destruction of the second and third largest cities (Hargeisa and Burao),...

Something big is happening up in Minneapolis, folks. There’s this fellow, Omar Fateh, who’s looking to become the next mayor. Now, he’s not your regular candidate. He’s a Somali American who calls himself a democratic socialist, and he’s got some unusual plans for the city. Fateh wants Minneapolis to resist Donald Trump and become a “safe haven” for transgender surgeries. He’s got ideas like cracking down on police and making sure the city stays a sanctuary for illegal immigrants and things like abortions and transgender healthcare. And he’s planning to spend a lot of taxpayer money to do it. This...

Somali gangs have become a serious and growing threat to public safety in Minnesota, with most of them being involved in violent crimes, drug trafficking, and disrupting neighborhoods, putting countless families at risk. However, left-wing politicians seem more interested in protecting politically correct narratives than reporting the hard truth. House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) highlighted the growing trend of Somali gangs wreaking havoc in his state. "Unfortunately, the failing press in Minnesota, especially in the Twin Cities, is not. These Somali gangs are incredibly dangerous," Emmer said. "We had an attack at a high school basketball game last spring...

A candidate running for mayor of Minneapolis has called Somalia his “home” despite being born in America and running for American office. Omar Fateh, a current Minnesota state senator and mayoral candidate, was born in Washington, D.C., to Somali immigrants. Yet, during his state Senate campaign, he repeatedly referred to Somalia as his “home.” “I understand that our Somali communities are all connected to each other, here in Minnesota and back home, and I ask for your support. There’s always been a link between our community here as well as back home and I’m running to bridge that gap and...

FBI agents are out executing search warrants at eight locations around the Twin Cities in yet another massive state benefit fraud case involving — I’m just going to say it — Somali perpetrators. This [July 16, 2025] is day one of the case going public. I have embedded one of the eight unsealed search warrant affidavits below via Scribd — all 81 pages of it. What January 20, 2021 was to the Feeding Our Future case, July 16, 2025 is to this case. No charges have yet been brought. Today the authorities are gathering physical evidence.The state of Minnesota was...

Did you guess correctly? VIDEO AT LINK................... . . . . . .. . . Yep. This was a celebration of Somalian independence in Minneapolis. If you question this, you are immediately labeled a bigot. Some thoughts: Oh, remember how Minnesota changed its flag to look more like the Somali one? Minnesota: Somalia: The future wars between the Balkans of America are going to be interesting!

Prior to President Donald Trump authorizing targeted strikes against Iranian nuclear sites on Saturday, federal agents and Texas Department of Public Safety troopers have been arresting Iranian nationals, nearly all men, in the U.S. illegally. In the last few months, federal prosecutors have also brought terrorism charges against Iranians, including those in the U.S. working for the Iranian government. Iran is a designated state sponsor of terrorism. Iranian nationals illegally in the country are considered “special interest aliens” under federal law. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security on Sunday issued a warning to all Americans to be on a heightened...

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has had a rough time on X lately, as she's been called out for her anti-American sentiments in various posts and social media hits. On Thursday, she was actually forced to delete a post in honor of Juneteenth, after she was called out for the slavery still going on in her home country of Somalia. "160 years ago on June 19, 1865, slavery ended in this country. Today, we celebrate Black freedom, resilience, and achievement, and continue the work to root out systematic racism from our policies and institutions," read Omar's since deleted post from her...

A South Dakota newspaper that failed to report on the case of a Somali man convicted of trying to molest a severely handicapped woman, changed gears Wednesday after being outed by WND and decided to publish a story about the crime. The story ran on page three of the Aberdeen American News under the headline “Sentencing later this month for a man convicted of attempted sexual contact.” But the newspaper left out an important detail. The convicted sex criminal, 39-year-old Liban Mohamed, was a recently arrived refugee brought to the state from Somalia at the invitation of the U.S. government....

WASHINGTON—President Trump has signed a sweeping travel ban on 12 countries and introduced more-limited travel restrictions on seven others, the White House announced, reintroducing a controversial immigration policy that came to define the early days of his first term.

Radical Islam in Latin America By Chris Zambelis In the wake of the September 11 attacks, the possibility of al-Qaeda infiltrating Latin America became a priority for U.S. intelligence and law enforcement officials. However, the most publicized incidents of radical Islamist activity in Latin America have not been linked to al-Qaeda but instead to the Lebanese Shi’ite Hezbollah, which is ideologically and politically close to Iran. These include the March 1992 bombing of the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires, Argentina and the July 1994 attack against the Argentine-Israeli Mutual Association (AIMA), also in the Argentine capital, allegedly in retaliation for...

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) told a Daily Caller News Foundation reporter to “f*** off” after asking her a question about Democrats traveling to El Salvador to advocate on behalf of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. “I think you should f*** off,” Omar responded to the question. “You should f*** off,” she emphasized. “Who should?” reporter Myles Morell asked. “You!” she answered.

Somali clans proliferate. Sometimes the disputes are about long-standing competition for resources such as grazing land or access to wells for camels and other livestock. But even minor issues can sometimes spark a deadly feud - for example a remark by a politician in the capital. When Geedi reached his small village outside Warsheikh, in the Middle Shabelle region, he did not know that tensions between two Abgal sub-clans were about to boil over. The 45-year-old was shot dead outside his home in November by armed men as part of this long-standing inter-family feud. No-one has been arrested for his...

Jihadists are murdering, raping, torturing, kidnapping, enslaving, and, in some instances, burning people alive — across Africa, and now in Syria. Local jihadist organizations go by different names, but the ideology that drives them is the same: Every one of them deeply believes that Allah wants him to wipe the world clean of the kuffar (infidels). More than 16.2 million Christians in Sub-Saharan Africa have been driven from their homes by jihadi violence and conflict, reports the human rights organization Open Doors. Women and girls are abducted, forced into "marriage," forced to convert to Islam, raped, and subjected to forced...

Last week we went to Somalia as American tourists. We stayed only a night, but that was plenty of time to wander unescorted through the local market, explore town in a battered Toyota station wagon, and even head out into the desert to admire some ancient cave paintings. It might seem an odd choice of vacation spot, given that Somalia, so long synonymous with "failed state," appears to be growing ever more dangerous. The insurgency against the American-backed Ethiopian occupation persists, and just last week it was reported that a particularly radical group has launched a campaign to murder relief...
