Here's a good summary-

I wonder how much they received in PPP loans

[DBCowboy]

How did Rep. Ilhan Omar go from a net worth of 200K to 30 million in one year?

[Vermilion]

There’s nothing to believe in, it’s not fantasy,  it’s actually happening.   I’m sure I’d be asking to much if I said do the research?   I don’t know where they’re at monetarily but they’ve cut millions and he wants to cut millions more by getting us out of the bogus UN and other international money scams we’ve been funding.  

Your last paragraph doesn’t make much sense but from what I can tell, silly assumption nonetheless.  I couldn’t care less about those that are over here f’n us for everything we got, they can go back and rot in Somalia for all I care.  

85% of Somalians are on some sort of government welfare and they own businesses that they’ve gotten through taxpayer dollars.   We don’t need people like that here, we’ve our own trash to deal with here.   

Has nothing to do with having a heart or not,  it has to do with morals and ethics which most of them seem to be short on.  Are you going to be their fool?   Because I guarantee you that’s what they think of you.

Well said.

RE: Fraud in Minnesota

I’m not sure that most Americans understand that in large swathes of humanity, there is no actual concept of “fraud,” particularly fraud against the government. Instead, there is a belief in the virtue of getting away with what you can to help yourself and your tribe.

I spent a lot of my life in the Middle East and Central Asia, working closely with foreign contractors and foreign governments to provide support to American military operations. As a US Army officer with a big checkbook courtesy of Uncle Sam, I can’t really count the sheer number of times I was offered bribes to award a contract, or falsify records to do things like create larger (fake) headcounts at places like dining facilities, or to just simply be on the take for future illegal requests.

Of course I had enough sense to never comply with such requests. Moreover, they were never explicitly structured as “bribes”; instead it was usually along the lines of “Here I have these Rolexes as gifts for you and your wife to show our friendship.” (Unfortunately, too many US officers and NCOs succumbed to this siren song and ended up breaking rocks in Leavenworth.)

The weird thing about this to me was that whenever I turned down such an offering, it was treated as a grave insult. I was the one in the wrong, and not the fraudster trying to bribe me. They considered it rude that I was in their country and refused to accept how things got done. After all, why did I not want to help my tribe by helping their tribe?

Let me repeat: in these cultures, FRAUD IS NOT EVEN A CONCEPT. There is only what helps your tribe.

Such thought processes are so alien to Americans and much of the West. We are raised on the presumption that our institutions are valid, that the rule of law always prevails, and that integrity is universal. We need these presumptions to have working governments and economies, and without those presumptions—without the mental barrier that causes us not to accept outright fraud—our nation would quickly descend into the economic and social hellscape of countries like…. ummm… you know…. SOMALIA!

So when we import people en masse from cultures that accept bribery and fraud as routine, acceptable ways to advance one’s tribe, we should not be surprised that things like the $8 BILLION fraud schemes of the Somali population in Minnesota happen so easily.

Introducing a fraud-based culture based on tribalism into America is like introducing some sort of lethal virus into a population that has no natural immunity. The virus will spread and grow, unchecked, because it is so alien to the host. Similarly, a culture of fraud is anathema to American thinking, and it must be cut out before it consumes the host.

So when you see and hear patriotic Americans decrying what is happening in Minnesota or elsewhere, and when they seek deportation of the offenders, it is not “racism,” it is not “bigotry,” it is not “xenophobia”; instead, it is preserving the American tradition of responsible institutions and national integrity.

So a couple of brave souls go to a few Somali day care centers that are receiving over 2 million a year from government subsidies ... The said they wanted to enroll their child into the daycare but were told the child care was fully booked. Even though there are no children to ever be seen there.. 

I hope DOGE and the DOJ gets some teeth and the deep state of corruption is seriously taken apart with people going to jail or worse.

How did Rep. Ilhan Omar go from a net worth of 200K to 30 million in one year?

Family in the daycare business in Minnesota?

[quintessentone]

Thoughts? 

We have a sizable population. Over 15k in the county... 9k in a single neighborhood. It is not the highest crime area, but certainly far from the lowest. Sizeable Eritrean and Ethiopian numbers mixed in too. 

And as a privilleged inherently racist white devil I can look at them through stereotypes and think: 

"You know, what's really amazing is how they can all come to California and become Uber drivers with a base model Prius."

That's the California scam, I think. Who needs welfare fraud when you can do legal gig work? 

"Why are you going this way?" 

"This is the way you take to the airport. "

"Dude, I ****ing live here, and you just got on the busier inland freeway that adds 4 miles and 20 minutes. Your phone was even telling you to stay on the freeway we're on and you physically selected the other route." 

And then they get argumentative...

And I am just sitting there thinking, "I dont want to be racist, I dont like that i think this, but why the hell does every one of "you guys" do this? Are you culturally all natural used car salesmen or something?" 

And then you police yourself that "THEY ARE NOT representative of the East African immigrant community, but the Uber Driver community, and you've just been biased by the ones YOU'VE interacted with."

And I wish I could say I had greater interaction with them to change that opinion.

One or two that are rotten always spoil the entire barrel. That is the prevailing winds coming from Trump and his joyriding bandwagon will never question it.

WOW  MSNBC is broadcasting to all of America that the Somalian fraud in Minnesota is made up by Donald Trump

MSNBC is actually saying the FBI and DOJ are lying about the fraud

The mainstream media is organized crime against the United States and should be prosecuted

“The politicization of the DOJ and the FBI is undeniable. So whether they are reliable narrators is the big question,

and this is what happens when you weaponize and politicize federal agencies that are not meant to be politicized,

and I think the American people are right to ask the question. Well, can we trust you?

— The Somali population in Minnesota
— Those people are being scapegoated and that community is being scapegoated
in a way that certainly serves the far right.”

[UltraBudgie]

It's obvious that with the scale and reaction to this, that there is political corruption.

After the fraud scandal in Minnesota,
a TikToker decided to investigate daycare centers in Ohio,
which has the country’s second-largest Somali population.

By plugging the addresses into Google Maps, he discovered

that many of the buildings didn’t look like typical childcare facilities—lacking playgrounds, proper signage,
and even having blacked-out windows.

Even more striking, he found that several of these daycare centers had donated money
to the same Somali congressmen.

The fraud is Minnesota is just a tip of the iceberg.

The fraud taking place in this country is so much worse than anyone can even imagine. Pure rot.

There are 5,000 child care facilities in Washington state.

Over 500 of them are Somali run with:
- No physical address
- No hours of operation or 24 hours
- Subsidy participation

Minnesota was just the tip of the iceberg.

This goes nationwide. h/t:

 BREAKING: Tim Walz’s new taxpayer funded 20 PAID WEEKS OFF for “family bonding” for Somalis, illegals, etc includes a WORKAROUND that DOESN’T REQUIRE the person to have a job in order to collect the funds, per
@GrageDustin
It’s time to cut off ALL FEDERAL FUNDS to Minnesota. We are SICK of paying for this crap. Per a veteran Minnesota lawmaker, “the way the law is written, there is a workaround where you can collect this benefit without actually having a job.” This new welfare program goes into effect on January 1, 2026. DEFUND MINNESOTA, AND DEFUND TIM WALZ!
