“The first Somalis arrived in 1992, and there are now about 100,000 of them in Minnesota. They have extremely high rates of dependency on government programs and high rates of fraud and other crime.
In arguing that they are beneficial contributors, state websites note Somalis pay $67 million in state taxes annually, but Somali public benefits fraud in Minnesota exceeds $9 billion, more than all the state taxes — sales tax, property taxes and state income tax — that Somalis in Minnesota will pay for the next 130 years, and that number does not include the extensive costs associated with education, housing support, law enforcement and criminal justice that the heavily-dependent Somali population imposes on the state.
Nonetheless, the Somalis, many of whom are barely literate, have been pushed through the citizenship process and are now a reliable Democratic voting bloc, electing one of the most antisemitic and anti-American members of Congress in American history and nearly getting a socialist Somali elected mayor on a platform of increasing public benefits for Somalis.
It is impossible to persuasively argue that these migrants have been beneficial for Minnesota or that the state has been made better in any way by their presence. This is the kind of thing we have to stop if we want to keep our country.”

Once again, X has the real story, while the MSM runs cover for Walz and cimpany.
“Here is the full 42 minutes of my crew and I exposing Minnesota fraud, this might be my most important work yet. We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day. Like it and share it around like wildfire! Its time to hold these corrupt politicians and fraudsters accountable
We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening, the fraud must be stopped.”
“Nick Shirley’s 42-minute-long video exposing the massive fraud scheme in Minnesota has surpassed 30M views on X in just the past 24 hours. Combined with views from clips shared on X, total views are well over 100 million.
Zero mentions in the New York Times. Zero mentions in the Washington Post. Zero mentions on CNN’s website.”
Maybe there’s very little coverage of this because it might not exist. I’m not going to investigate myself but every time I read posts about Minnesota fraud, the numbers don’t make sense. The story seems to be a right wing echo chamber where people cite each other in a circle.
And lets face it, there’s far more interesting news — Venezuela, Epstein, etc
I’m not sure why people think Somalis are so all powerful in Minnesota and Minneapolis. A quick check tells me that African Americans are about 17% of the population, even if they are all Somali (which is doubtful) this isn’t enough to be omnipresent in the political process. And only about 4% speak Somali as their first language, which means we are into in second and third generation Americans here.
As for Omar — her district while having the most immigrants and being the most “diverse” is only 16% immigrant and only 3% are Somali. The stories appear to be nothing more than fear mongering.
The percentage of the population doesn’t tell anyone the whole story, otherwise billions would not have been stolen. Somalis, in the long run, are like all other people–sinners in need of a Savior.
Islamism must be pushed back against, just like Marxism must be. When they join together (and evil is glad to join hands) they become stronger and also must be pushed back.
At least a decade ago, I saw a movie extolling Islam played in a public venue with hundreds of school children. Not sure when I saw that for Christianity. I have no problem with students learning about all kinds of religions and cultures. I do have a problem with people who move here and then insist their culture or religion takes precedence over ours and that we must change to accommodate them.
We are a nation of immigrants and there have been laws for decades. Never has it been that people come here, do not learn the language, do not learn to support themselves, do not assimilate.
That is not true of all who are Somali, either. Even Somalis can hate what is happening in MN.
Frankly, the whole Epstein thing is far less important to most people. Should there be others prosecuted? Probably. We all know scads of people who should have been prosecuted and actually sentenced to far more punishment than they have ever gotten for molestation and/or using women and children. Thank God for those who fight for it. I doubt that is what is going on with all the talk about this case, however. One day we will all stand before God, though, and he is no respecter of persons.
“The Minnesota story got me thinking…this seems weird!”

ActBlue is the dem money laundering op, and it’s all tied in. Money goes to scam child care places that don’t really exist, then they launder it back to dems thru ActBlue donations, all made under the name of folks who never donated it.
Oh look The Crown Act in PA… fear no more of those crazy “perceptions” that others will discriminate due to your ethnic hairstyles. Glory be free at last
Shapiro claimed the new law was essential for basic decency. He said, “Real freedom means being respected for who you are — no matter what you look like, where you come from, who you love, or who you pray to.” The Governor added that “too long, many Pennsylvanians have faced discrimination simply for hairstyles that reflect their identity and culture — that ends today.”
Democrat lawmakers said the motivations were deeply personal. House Speaker Joanna McClinton claimed, “I never wore braids from law school to being a public defender for seven years in this city, because I always had a perception that it would not be respected.” She added that now, “They will not look at your hair and say you cannot work here.”
Meanwhile our President is securing our borders keeping drugs from our shores and rounding up criminals.
For those so obsessed with Epstein it could be some type of voyeur inclination or so it may seem… rather telling…😳
My point on the Somali comments is simple. The demographics don’t support the claims. A population which is roughly 5-10% of city somehow controls the city and state, doesn’t pass any sort of rational belief.
The continued hit pieces directed towards Minnesota are deliberate. Its in the top 5 US states run by a governor who dared run against Trump. I went through before how the math just doesn’t add up in their claims and the same is happening again.
The daycare claims are weird — just saw a video of some guy trying to gain entry into a daycare. He wanted to count the children and to establish if it was a real daycare. When they refused to let him in — as they should — he claimed they were hiding something and weren’t a real daycare. He’s lucky he wasn’t arrested and placed on a sex offender list.
As the tweet suggested, it’s the Bari Weiss effect. CBS has lost any claim to credibility when they spiked the 60 Minutes story. The rationale — the Trump admin didn’t supply comment — now allows the Trump admin to kill any story by simply not commenting. They were given a chance to comment, the story should’ve proceeded once they were given a chance.
I’m not a liberal — I’m a socialist. I’m generally sceptical of any news network — after all it’s owned by the corporate elite and has to sell advertising. However, the right wing echo chamber is the issue here. CBS is killing the Colbert show. Trump mutters threats whenever a story doesn’t go his way. It’s obvious the media is threatened and some, including CBS, are bending over.
The Epstein story is interesting for a few reasons — and not for what is in the files. I have no interest in reading the files; a few parts have entered my news feed and I scan the story not the files. Reminds of rubber necking at a highway accident — I really don’t want to see it.
If Trump’s behaviour in the last half century hasn’t stopped you from voting for him, I doubt the files will change your mind. After bragging about wandering through teenage dressing rooms, grabbing and coping feels of adult women, found liable in court, etc and people aren’t still convince he’s a sexual predator, I doubt anything will change people’s minds.
However, that doesn’t mean the files and story aren’t relevant. A pertinent aspect is how many times these girls reached out to police for help and were ignored. The deference police and the justice system paid to the elite indicate who they really work for and its not the victims, its for the elite.
Blackmail is another question that has been raised. It’s not been determined whether Epstein became successful before or after the Lolita Express was established but there’s at least a correlation between his guests and the wealth he managed, that is, he managed the money of the people who were on his island. Did he blackmail them into becoming his clients?
That raises the question — were the political leaders blackmailed? Prince Andrew, Israeli PMs, Clinton, and Trump were all there and were photographed (and probably videoed). Was this used to blackmail them and for whose benefit? Was American security and interest compromised by it? Did a foreign power benefit – Israel or Russia or even Saudi Arabia? Maxwell’s father was associated with Mossad whereas some of Epstein’s clients had connections to Russia and the Saudi family. Perhaps this is speculation, but the air needs to be cleared.
Then there’s the actual release of the documents — again the DOJ/FBI protested that it would implicate or injure wealthy and powerful men — strange that they should have any consideration. Again the consideration the elite receive from the justice department. Once released the amount redacted was over the top and obviously they interpreted the need to protect liberally.
And then there was the actual redaction. People soon discovered that the DOJ/FBI used the free version of Abode to do the redacting. Apparently DOGE decided paying over $4 million in subscription fees was a waste of money. In the free version you can black out portions but anyone reading it can copy and paste it into a Word document to “unredact” the document. People were copy and pasting, posting and taking screen shots. A complete failure at the DOJ.
To compound this failure, if you search for “Trump” in the files, you get zero entries but if you search “Trump ” (with the space) you get 600 entries. Complete amateur hour at the DOJ. Given all this, one would hope Congress reviews what happened when these files were released. We don’t really need to hear what’s in the files (the police should get to work though) but what happened in the process of releasing the files — that’s the real story for Congress and the American political system.
Actually, the guy asked if he could enroll a child in the daycare. Daycares are careful who they allow in, but you can certainly talk to someone about enrolling a child. If there is no one around on an average day, it tells you a lot. The whole video was telling, however, and not just about the fake daycare.
Not sure who’s video I saw — perhaps the daycare security but it didn’t look good for the guy. I’m sure both groups have edited the video carefully.
Not sure how things work in Minneapolis, but here its unusual to just show up asking to enrol your kid. Normally, you would phone and set up an appointment. You might have to sign up for the appointment so the daycare had a record of you before you arrived and even fill out an application to pre-screen you. If you simply arrived at the front door to inquire, you would probably not be allowed in. The daycare’s refusal to allow him in is entirely plausible for a legitimate daycare.
Look, we could do an exhaustive research on all past Presidents and find plenty of skeletons in closets. Some are known and some unknown. let’s say Trump was a scoundrel playboy in his younger days…doesn’t make it right but let’s just give you that. He has been married 20 years to Melania and it seems he has become a better man for it…I know I know you want to bring up her past but let’s not for now. They seem to be a rather stable couple and I haven’t heard scandalous words nor behavior like what is being harped upon.
Epstein seems to be fixated upon by the left…if they had something on our President it would have hit the front pages before you could say jack spratt! It’s a deflection of what is being exposed … the unlawful acts of the Democrats and their ilk.
I don’t know about Canada but here in the ol’ US you most certainly can drive to a daycare and inquire about enrolling a child. There are safety measures taken to protect the children in the center. A front desk, locked door, cameras…so let’s not go on a witch hunt with the guy exposing fraud of Somalians…k?
