Minnesota’s Somali settlement is a case of compassion without a standard. It is failing and we are at a critical moment. It is what happens when a low-education refugee population from a clan-based, low-trust society is settled in one metro, given immediate access to a generous welfare state, and told that maintaining a separate culture is the goal. There are about 80,000 to 110,000 people, most already citizens, concentrated in Minneapolis, Hennepin, Ramsey, and St. Cloud with new enclaves and concentrations building in neighboring counties. There are too many to undo and that is not a legal option as well so let’s look for real solutions. We need to stop feeding the problem. **What has failed** Equal rules were dropped. Students see Somali classmates skip the punishments everyone else gets. About 12 gangs, roughly 300 kids with an additional Halo of perhaps 1000 more young men and thousands that will not cross them. There are a known 14 homicides and 100-plus shootings in two years, plus incredible amounts of carjackings, ongoing fights and physical altercations, and mall robberies. Welfare is the norm. About half the children in poverty, weak English after a decade, food stamps and Medicaid in most households. (79% are on some form of welfare. Fraud used the same nonprofits that did the welcoming. Meal, autism, and housing cases were overwhelmingly this network. No Western country with a dense Somali population has closed the gap. Sweden is worse. ** Send them back is not a real option.** Most are US-born or naturalized. Citizens cannot be deported for failed integration. Some are removable, non-citizens after serious convictions, status fraud, and the few thousand who never naturalized. That is a slice and not a realistic solution. **What would work** Same offense, same consequence in schools and courts. No racial suspension targets. Federal gun charges, adult charging for carjacking, trespass bans, witness support. English and work required for cash and food aid. Contract bans after fraud convictions. Stop new placements and chain migration into Minnesota. Deport the removable slice. Offer paid exit to anyone who will take it. Do not pretend the citizens are leaving. Churches: quit the resettlement pipeline, back one standard, help individuals who will live by it. Stop the feel good compassion that is actually hurting not helping. In the Muslim community, Imams need to stop making an apology from leaders naming Somalis a condition for helping. They must stop defending the wrongdoing otherwise they are a veto to any progress. Electing new leaders that will not allow the corruption to continue. Holding all of our elected leaders, principles, administrators, and religious leaders accountable. Many of our current leaders are in on the grift and cover up and it’s time for this to end. Others live in fear of retribution for breaking with the ranks. ** If there’s a model we can follow, it’s Denmark, not Sweden. ** Denmark already has done the version people called cruel: lower benefits, temporary status, breakup of the enclaves, mandatory early learning of Danish. They cut the inflow of Somalis. It did not remove the citizens. Minnesota has not done even the mild version of that. “Minnesota Nice” is the perfect environment for the problem to continue, we need to toughen up. If not, the neighborhoods and the schools are in huge trouble. It’s way past time to take this problem seriously and we need everyone to work together to turn things around in Minnesota.

Hallelujah … FINALLY someone in Congress stepping forward and acting like the adult in the room! Rep. Anna Paulina Luna: “Today I referred any and every criminal found guilty of fraud regarding Minnesota fraud scheme to be denaturalized and sent for detainment in El Salvador’s high security prison CECOT.” “U.S. citizenship is a privilege not a right, and according to legal statute any person found guilty of fraud within the first ten years of being naturalized can be legally denaturalized.” “I take defrauding the American people VERY seriously. This is a ZERO tolerance policy."

Tonight, I attended the Edina community session held in the wake of the most recent Somali gang shootings. People are upset. People want results. People want something done. My message to folks that approached me and thanked me for showing up and supporting them was that Lisa and I hear you loud and clear and change will come fast. Lisa will make Minnesota safer. Lisa has a real plan that will get real results.

Listening from Liz’ feed (thanks Liz…) This is CODE. (And BS) The code is “gun violence is a public HEALTH challenge” This is legal wording with which to gain access to millions of dollars of federal money after the burning of Minneapolis. This is why Hennepin county declared “racism a public health emergency” that declaration unlocked untold millions. I know… it sounds crazy… but this is how it works. Like the moment POTUS would “declare a state of emergency” or “declare a natural disaster” then FEMA money pours in. It’s verbiage that is linked to MONEY… And that money- just last week in an audit- was deemed “at high risk” for fraud. Are you seeing it yet?

Let me get this straight... you invade our country, then turn it into a 3rd world shithole with skyrocketing crime rates, then you want to shred our Constitution to "solve" the problems you created? Here's an idea... GFY!

🚨 BREAKING: Keith Ellison was just EXPOSED by CNN for taking lavish overseas trips paid for by corporate lobbyists. - Five-star hotels - First-class flights - African safari tours - AND MORE Ellison appears visibly upset that they’re even asking about the trips. He abruptly ends the interview while staring down the reporter. Earlier this week, he attacked Ron Schutz for simply owning stocks. Meanwhile, Ellison is accepting lavish trips funded by the very companies he’s suing. WOW!

Wow. This clip is 🔥🔥 Keith Ellison is, by far, the most influential person in the decline and destruction of Minneapolis. Without question, if he loses, the game changes… And he knows it. And here he is trying to explain that massive corporate interests are funding overseas trips for him to “build partnerships” because “fentanyl”. When he realizes he actually didn’t have a canned answer prepped he immediately went on the offensive “I know how this game is played.” Yes; you do Keith; and studying you was a masterclass. When he finally cuts the interview off he gives a sneer worthy of “cheer moms”. Some “champion of the people” 🙄 Just wow.

A shooting linked to Somali gang violence forced the evacuation of Eden Prairie’s homecoming game. Peggy Flanagan hasn’t said a word. That silence speaks volumes. Minnesotans deserve leaders who will confront violent crime and stand with law enforcement. I’m proud to have the endorsements of Minnesota’s leading law enforcement organizations. In the Senate, I’ll be a voice for safe communities and hold criminals accountable.

He's right. NFL players always scored touchdowns instead of helping their teams run the clock out until betting became more popular. "Anyone who watched football for 30 years knows" Anyway, here's Peyton Manning intentionally falling down against the Raiders in December 2010 👌
Replying to @ReichelRadio
WHEN HAVE WE EVER SEEN PLAYERS DO THIS? FUCKING NEVER! or at least until betting markets expanded to a global scale. Stop cucking for Vegas - anyone who watched football for 30 years knows this is bullshit, so sit the fuck down.

Amy Klobuchar celebrating the Somali community with upside down US flags. Disgusting.
80%+ of Somali households in MN are on welfare. Yet nearly $1 million a day still flies out of MSP in in cash-stuffed suitcases. They drain our state dry and ship what’s left to their failed state. Amy Klobuchar celebrates and enables it. Disqualifying.

There he is, what a cowardly response. Your racist assumption that only white people who live in Eden Prairie are furious about Somali gang violence was stupid and racist. But it’s (D)ifferent, right Mike?
What would the point of debating some random guy in Eden Prairie? I saw your tweet, but I don’t know who you are so I don’t really see any reason to debate you. Where would we debate, anyway? Some caribou coffee in your suburb?

NEW: A Minneapolis imam is responding after the Eden Prairie, Minnesota homecoming shooting, which sources say was related to Somali gang activity. Imam Hassan Jama: “To my community in Minnesota: enough is enough.” “This is gun violence and we must call it what it is.”

Why are Democrats in Minnesota afraid to debate? What are they trying to hide? Is it the FRAUD, Ellison pardoning an illegal who raped a 10 yr old multiple times, or the Somalian gangs at the Eden Prairie football gang?

Minnesota's head coach just launched himself into a mob of his own players at full sprint. P.J. Fleck crowd-surfs after every win, today's was his 100th, and the mania took 15 years to build. It started with the worst thing that can happen to a person. In February 2011, Fleck's infant son Colt died of a heart condition. Fleck was a 30-year-old receivers coach at the time. He came up with a phrase to get himself out of bed. Row the boat. Your back faces the future, you can't see what's coming, all you control is the oar. Two years later Western Michigan made him the youngest head coach in the FBS. He went 1-11 his first season and people laughed at the boat stuff. By 2016 the same program went 13-0 and made the Cotton Bowl. When Minnesota hired him away in 2017, there was a catch. Western Michigan had trademarked "Row the Boat." The school owned the legal rights to the phrase he created for his son. Fleck paid them $50,000 out of his own pocket, structured as a scholarship for a walk-on player, to take the words with him. Nine years of rowing later, today happened. Minnesota beat #24 Michigan 20-14, took back the Little Brown Jug for the first time since 2014, and beat them at home for the first time in 49 years. 51,012 fans stormed the field. So yes, the man flies into that pile looking slightly unhinged. He knows better than anyone in that locker room that you don't get to choose which days are the good ones. You just keep rowing until one shows up.
Minnesota beat Michigan earlier today, and this might the best postgame locker room video I've ever seen 😲😲
