Somali Looting Spree Not Limited to Minnesota
Somali grifters have looted taxpayers for as much as $9 billion in Minnesota. If only that were the extent of it.
Via LifeZette:
An independent journalist in Ohio has released a video investigation alleging extensive fraud schemes involving the misuse of Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) benefits within parts of the state’s Somali community, adding to broader scrutiny of welfare programs and oversight failures.
A favorite scam involves connecting restaurants to grocery stores.
According to the journalist, these grocery stores are able to process EBT transactions for bulk food purchases, which are then used to supply the adjacent restaurants.
Then the grocery stores — which do their business in cash — report large losses that can be used to claim tax write-offs.
Muslim polygamous marriages also increase access to entitlement moola. Multiple wives get paid to be single mothers while working low-wage jobs as they displace the American population by squirting out staggering quantities of offspring.

He says Nakia was absolutely right. Hear from this Columbus resident here.
Meanwhile, in Washington State:
There are 539 childcare centers in Washington state that list Somali as the primary language. Most don’t even give a street address.
I don’t know how many of these are submitting fraudulent claims for state grants and subsidies, but I have a strong hunch the number is not zero. pic.twitter.com/FoUQiFNqM6

At the Daily Signal, Jarrett Stepman sums up the liberal mentality that produced this situation:
This toxic, civilizationally suicidal impulse of misguided, self-destructive “empathy” mixed with self-loathing is costing us far more than the billions of dollars already pillaged from state coffers. In the end, it may cost us everything.
Combine the welfare state with open borders and you get a looting spree that will bleed America to death. Due to relative reproduction rates, the problem will continue to get increasingly severe even if Democrats do not open the immigration floodgates all the way — and once they get the opportunity, they will.

Watch Tim Walz Brag About Enabling Childcare Racket
The looting spree by grifters imported from Somalia to transmogrify the demographics of Minnesota has reportedly reached $9 billion. A typical example of Somali fraud is child-free childcare centers. Despite often having heads shaped like light bulbs, Somalis are not known to be bright. How did they come up with such a lucrative scam?
Maybe their enabler Tim Walz gave them the idea during the 2024 vice presidential debate. Watch him brag about making it easier to set up these operations and then get them financed on a coercive basis by taxpayers:
During the VP debate last year Tim Walz bragged about making it easier for people to get into the childcare business.
Walz: "We have to make it easier for folks to be able to get into that business and then to make sure that folks are able to pay for that. We were able to do it… pic.twitter.com/hXGun6e6fe

Somali Child-Free Childcare Center
Moonbats like Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan gush obsequiously over how Somalis enrich Minnesota. One example of how they have done this is by introducing the concept of child-free childcare centers.
From the New York Post:
A YouTuber found no children inside a Minnesota daycare that has received $4 million in state funding — and couldn’t even spell “learning” correctly on its own front door.
The Somalis in charge cleverly saved on lettering by spelling it “learing.”
The apparent revelation comes amid the exploding welfare scandal involving the state’s Somali community, which the feds have said could top $9 million.
In a state run by moonbats like Tim Walz, Keith Ellison, and Flanagan, massive graft is so easy, Somalis can do it. In a possibly related story, Ilhan Omar’s net worth just rose by 3,500% in 1 year.
Hopefully Nick Shirley’s ears are not still ringing from the shrill shrieks of a moonbat who apparently mistook him for immigration enforcement:

The Quality Learing [sic] Center did have children at one time:
The Quality Learning Center has collected a staggering 95 violations from the state human services agency between 2019 and 2023, according to St. Paul’s ABC affiliate.
The violations include not having any records for more than a dozen listed children, and failure to keep hazardous items away from kids.
Maybe it is for the best if parents no longer send their kids there. But we can assume taxpayers still send their money.

Minnesota Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan Wears Hijab While Pandering to Somalis
Michelle Wu is not the only Democrat pol who panders obsequiously to the moochers and grifters liberals have imported from Somalia to displace the native population. Minnesota Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan even does it while submissively wearing Islamic garb.
The New York Post reports:
“I am incredibly clear that the Somali community is part of the fabric of the state of Minnesota,” Flanagan said at Karmel Mall in Minneapolis alongside local officials in a video released by Somali TV of Minnesota on Thursday.
We have seen Somali-pandering at Karmel Mall before. The native population might be wise to avoid the place.
According to Flanagan, Somalis pour into our country only to be victimized:
“I am here shopping today and just encourage other folks to show up, support our Somali businesses, support our immigrant neighbors, and I know that things are scary right now,” added Flanagan, a Catholic, while wearing the Islamic head covering.
By scary, she means scary for the Somali invaders. Racists might oppress them by complaining about their high crime rate, disinclination to assimilate, and conspicuous predilection for welfare parasitism. Those in the country illegally might even be sent home by ICE.
Watch and cringe:

Regarding her friend Nimco Ahmed, she is Minnesota State Director of the ultraleft Democratic Farmer Labor Party.
Ahmed has been quoted in Time magazine and Minnesota Public Radio articles as a “friend” and acquaintance of Somali men who returned to their native country in the 2010s to join al-Shabaab — a terror group that later received millions of the state’s welfare dollars due to the fraud scheme.
Nimco’s fellow Somali colonists in Minnesota may have looted over $9 BILLION from taxpayers through entitlement fraud. A significant percentage of the stolen money likely went to fund Islamic terrorism.
Speaking of terrorism, Flanagan has spoken publicly wearing a t-shirt that appears to call for violence against those who fail to affirm transsexualism. Violence by transsexuals has reached epidemic proportions.
Peggy Flanagan is now running for US Senate. If Mark Kelly and Chris Van Hollen can be senators, why not Peggy Flanagan?

Mayors Push Back Against Minnesota Moonbattery
Democrats have not finished displacing the population of Minnesota with grasping savages from Somalia. Maybe there is still time to turn the state around. Mayors across the state are putting up resistance to rule by lunatic leftists like Tampon Tim Walz.
Via Fox News:
A group of 98 Minnesota mayors raised concerns with state leaders in a letter about their state’s fiscal policies, saying they have impacted their cities and residents, noting a disappearing $18 billion surplus and a projected $2.9 billion to $3 billion deficit for the 2028-29 biennium.
From their letter to Tampon Tim and state legislators:
“Fraud, unchecked spending, and inconsistent fiscal management in St. Paul have trickled down to our cities—reducing our capacity to plan responsibly, maintain infrastructure, hire and retain employees, and sustain core services without overburdening local taxpayers.”
Per the letter, symptoms of Democrat rule in Minnesota include…
…workforce shortages, slowed business investment, rising operational and construction costs, and families choosing to leave Minnesota altogether.
Not to mention potential property tax increases resulting from unfunded state mandates.
Not all Minnesota mayors are on the side of sanity. In the video below, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey proclaims that ICE is causing “chaos” by enforcing immigration law and warns that someone will get killed — possibly an ICE agent for defending his country:
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey WARNS that someone is going to get “kilIed” during ICE operations in his state..

For context, Frey’s Chief of Police Brian O’Hara called for people to call 911 on ICE agents with Frey nodding along in the background.
The leftist kooks controlling cities like Minneapolis and state governments like Minnesota’s are on a collision course with the rest of the country.

Speaking Well of ICE in Minnesota High School Could Result in Suspension
In moonbat-ruled Minnesota, speaking positively about the heroes who defend our country from foreign invasion is not just frowned upon — it is forbidden.
Via Post Millennial:
Edina High School principal Paul Paetzel informed parents in an email that the school would impose discipline for language in support of ICE.
Edina is a suburb of the Somalian colony Minneapolis.
The email proclaims that “referencing ICE in ways that cause fear or humiliation is a serious offense.” To cause “fear or humiliation” is to be viewed as offensive by foreign invaders who are championed by Democrats for demographic reasons.
Proclaims Paetzel:
“If this type of behavior occurs, we will honor the discipline policy and move forward with consequences up to and including suspension.”
Good thing they don’t have gulags yet in Minnesota or students who have anything nice to say about ICE would really be in trouble.
Imagine what these kids are being taught in class regarding their nation’s right to preserve itself.
For context:
On Friday, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin announced that ICE had carried out more than 400 arrests since the start of Operation Metro Surge, which included “pedophiles, rapists, and violent thugs.”
No one needs to wonder whose side liberal authorities are on.
As McLaughlin observes,
“Tim Walz and Jacob Frey failed to protect the people of Minnesota. They let these monsters and child predators roam free. Thanks to our brave law enforcement, Minnesota is safer with these thugs off their streets. Instead of thanking our law enforcement for removing criminals from their communities, Tim Walz and Jacob Frey continue to demonize our brave law enforcement.”
To dispute this demonization is thoughtcrime.

Alarming Stats on Welfare Use by Somali Colonists in Minnesota
Minnesota was known as a pleasant place, aside from the climate, with a high standard of living. But then Democrats implemented their strategy of ensuring electoral dominance via demographic engineering. Turns out that importing massive numbers of unassimilable moochers from the most corrupt and arguably the most dysfunctional country on the planet has negative societal effects — not to mention staggering costs for taxpayers.
The Center for Immigration Studies has the stats on what Democrats have accomplished in Minnesota regarding government dependency. Some of the highlights:
• More than half (52 percent) of children in Somali immigrant homes in Minnesota live in poverty, while only 8 percent of children in native-headed homes are in poverty.
• About 39 percent of working-age Somalis have no high school diploma, compared to just 5 percent of natives.
• About 54 percent of Somali-headed households in Minnesota receive food stamps, and 73 percent of Somali households have at least one member on Medicaid. The comparable figures for native households are 7 percent and 18 percent.
• Nearly every Somali household with children (89 percent) receives some form of welfare.
Meanwhile, even in light of the unfolding >$1 billion Somali welfare fraud scandal in Minnesota, Governor Tampon Tim Walz calls for opening the floodgates even wider. Not even the most gullible wokester could be so delusional as to believe that to be in Ameria’s best interests.
What Democrats have been doing to Minnesota demonstrates what they intend to inflict on the country as a whole. The plan is to use mass Third World immigration and the welfare state to force us to finance our own displacement and the deliberate ruination of our country.
