Last week, my colleague Ryan Thorpe and I broke a story about widespread fraud committed by Somalis in Minnesota. Members of the state’s Somali community allegedly participated in complex schemes related to autism services, food programs, and housing, which prosecutors estimate have stolen billions of taxpayer dollars. Even worse, some of the cash has ended up in the hands of Al-Shabaab, a terrorist organization in Somalia.

The story quickly reached the White House. Within days, President Trump announced that he was revoking the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for all Somali migrants in Minnesota.

Progressives have suggested that our reporting and the subsequent policy change were “racist.” While many of those indicted in these schemes are Somali, these critics argue, the federal government should not hold Minnesota’s Somali community corporately responsible for the actions of individuals.

This criticism is superficially appealing, but it isn’t persuasive on closer inspection.

First, a description of the facts should not be measured as “racist or not racist,” but rather as “true or not true.” And in this case, the truth is that numerous members of a relatively small community participated in a scheme that stole billions in funds. This is a legitimate consideration for American immigration policy, which is organized around nation of origin and, for more than 30 years, has favorably treated Somalis relative to other groups. It is more than fair to ask whether that policy has served the national interest. The fraud story suggests that the answer is “no.”

Second, the fact that Somalis are black is incidental. If Norwegian immigrants were perpetrating fraud at the same alleged scale and had the same employment and income statistics as Somalis, it would be perfectly reasonable to make the same criticism and enact the same policy response. It would not be “racist” against Norwegians to do so.

Further, Somalis have enormously high unemployment rates, and federal law enforcement have long considered Minneapolis’s Little Mogadishu neighborhood a hotspot for terrorism recruitment. We should condemn that behavior without regard to skin color.

The underlying question—which, until now, Americans have been loath to address directly—is that of different behaviors and outcomes between different groups. Americans tend to avoid this question, rely on euphemisms, and let these distinctions remain implied rather than spoken aloud. Yet it seems increasingly untenable to maintain this Anglo-American courtesy when the Left has spent decades insisting that we conceptualize our national life in terms of group identity.

The reality is that different groups have different cultural characteristics. The national culture of Somalia is different from the national culture of Norway. Somalis and Norwegians therefore tend to think differently, behave differently, and organize themselves differently, which leads to different group outcomes. Norwegians in Minnesota behave similarly to Norwegians in Norway; Somalis in Minnesota behave similarly to Somalis in Somalia. Many cultural patterns from Somalia—particularly clan networks, informal economies, and distrust of state institutions—travel with the diaspora and have shown up in Minnesota as well. In the absence of strong assimilation pressures, the fraud networks aren’t so surprising; they reflect the extension of Somali institutional norms into a new environment with weak enforcement and poorly designed incentives.

The beauty of America is that we had a system that thoughtfully balanced individual and group considerations. We recognized that all men, whatever their background, have a natural right to life, liberty, property, and equal treatment under the law. We also recognized that group averages can be a basis for judgment—especially in immigration, where they can help determine which potential immigrant groups are most suitable and advantageous for America.

These principles are in tension but not in contradiction. As a sociological matter, a policy of equal rights for all individuals will result in unequal outcomes among groups. This is not a sign of injustice per se; it is an inevitability. No two groups are the same, and therefore, no two groups will have the same outcomes in a system of individual liberty and equality.

The firestorm around the Somali fraud story was so intense precisely because it forced this question into the spotlight. For decades, America has given Somali immigrants special privileges through TPS. We have expected Somalis to play by the rules, contribute to the country, and assimilate into the culture. Some individuals have certainly done so, but as the fraud story suggests, many others have not. A rational government would amend its policies accordingly.

We can see the same process playing out in other parts of the world. In the United Kingdom, mass immigration from incompatible cultures is creating a civilizational crisis. Rather than replicate the policies of our sister country, we should accept reality and adopt a more thoughtful policy, which recognizes cultural norms as a reasonable measure of capacity to assimilate and to contribute.

The president should stand firm. Little Mogadishu in Minneapolis has a real problem, and it is about time that our government began facing it.

Liberal judges who decide not to jail violent career criminals and sadistic psychopaths ought to be held liable when the felons attack innocent citizens.

Two horrendous, unprovoked attacks on helpless young women on public transit in recent weeks would never have happened if the legal system had done what it’s designed to do.

Instead, BLM-inspired reparatory justice has endangered the most vulnerable among us — women, children, the elderly and disabled. We pay police and judges to keep evil and dangerous predators away from weak and defenseless innocents. Yet radical Democrats who have taken over blue cities are hellbent on a destructive ideological crusade to defund the police, close the jails and install obedient judges who side with the perpetrator over the victim.

And yet law-abiding citizens who dare to try to defend themselves — or gallantly protect others, as in the case of good Samaritan Daniel Penny — are the ones arrested, prosecuted and even sent to jail. Queens senior citizen Charles Foehner has just been sentenced to four years in jail for gun offenses after shooting dead his mugger.

‘Barbaric’

Two cases in the last three months illustrate the moral inversion of law and order that Democrats have instituted under the cover of COVID and the anti-cop George Floyd protests of 2020.

Bethany MaGee, 26, was severely burned on her face and body when she was doused in gasoline and set on fire on Chicago’s L train last week in a what authorities have called a “barbaric and premeditated” attack by a repeat felon who had 72 arrests on his rap sheet, including aggravated arson and multiple felony battery convictions.

The suspect, Lawrence Reed, 50, reportedly yelled, “Burn alive, bitch!” as he set MaGee alight.

Reed had been deemed too dangerous to stay in the locked psychiatric wing of a Chicago hospital where he allegedly attacked a social worker and knocked her unconscious, causing a severe concussion, an eye injury and a broken tooth.

So Cook County Judge Teresa Molina-Gonzalez let him out on the streets in August with an ankle monitor, trusting him to abide by the curfew she set.

Of course he didn’t.

According to court transcripts obtained by Chicago crime website CWBChicago, the prosecutor objected to releasing Reed, warning that electronic monitoring would not protect “the [social worker] victim or the community from another vicious, random, and spontaneous attack.”

But Molina-Gonzalez blithely replied: “I can’t keep everybody in jail because the state’s attorney wants me to.”

According to CWBChicago, at the time he allegedly set MaGee ablaze, Reed had already violated his curfew for 12 hours — with impunity, as he had done multiple times previously.

Now he’s been charged with terrorism offenses, but it’s too late for MaGee.

An animal lover and churchgoer, she is from a close family in small-town Indiana who have requested privacy while she remains gravely ill in the hospital. Her social media posts show a young, pretty woman with long, sun-kissed hair, cuddling a cat, and smiling in family photos alongside her two brothers.

Her life will never be the same.

The attack comes just three months after a similar unprovoked murder on public transit in Charlotte, NC, when a violent repeat felon slashed the throat of Iryna Zarutska, a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee on her way home from her job in a pizza shop.

Just like Reed, the suspect, Decarlos Brown Jr., 34, is a career criminal with a long rap sheet, including assault and armed robbery. Like Reed, he has been diagnosed with severe mental illness.

Like Reed, he was treated with kid gloves by a Democrat-controlled legal system determined to make up for past injustices against blacks by applying racial considerations to incarceration.

Since COVID and the BLM anti-cop riots of 2020, “decarceration” is the fad in every blue state and city — a term most people had never heard of outside academic circles.

It means the policy of releasing people already in jail, diverting people away from incarceration, and closing prisons and jails or blocking new ones.

Just as deinstitutionalization led to crazy homeless people everywhere, decarceration is the next logical step.

It means violent predators are free to roam, no matter what danger they pose.
Federal legislation eyed

During recent years, the supply of violent felons has far outstripped our will to jail them.

To make matters worse, Joe Biden ushered in millions of illegal migrants, among them the worst of the Third World’s criminals, released from jails in their homelands to wreak havoc in ours.

As the supply of criminals skyrocketed, Democrats reduced the jail population, congratulating themselves on their enlightened ways, while America’s underprivileged had to compete for welfare and low-wage jobs with a new slave class, whose exploitation is only feasible because their medical care, housing and education are subsidized by the American taxpayer.

So America’s homegrown underclass grew larger and angrier and more neglected, while our criminal class ballooned and jails were emptied.

In North Carolina, after Zarutska’s murder, moves are afoot by lawmakers to start holding judges accountable when they allow dangerous repeat offenders to walk free despite knowing the risks, and someone gets hurt or killed.

Federal legislation is also being considered.

It’s about time.

You sell them to somebody else who will use them for food. I'm sure a lot of them will trade for straight 1/1 cash value and the ones handing the currency out still make out on that deal because there is no sales tax when using SNAP. It wouldn't matter in my state because on almost all food there isn't a sales tax, but that's not the case at all in many states.

Even if they sold off SNAP for 20 cents on the dollar (because they didn't even need it in the first place, who cares right?), it's probably worth the risk for them if they've got enough scam accounts... or at least they thought it was and maybe doing something that stupid and really expanding their scheme to seriously unavoidable heights once that hubris kicked in finally took them down

Heard the same thing from my old man earlier today, but there was more to the story, or so I've heard...

He said that he heard Trump says the entire Somali refugee program is coming to an abrupt end. But I don't know what that even means. Are we kicking out every one of them? Or are we going to let anywhere from 500,000 to 1 Million Somalians who don't belong here just stay?

This has been going on since Jimmy Carter passed the Refugee Act and gave the sitting President to have exclusive decision-making of how many refugees we let in per year and from which countries, or in other words, it's been going on every single day of my life, no matter which party has been in charge.

We, The People, have never had a vote on any of this. Not even a referendum. No American citizen in the last 45 years ever voted on whether or not to flood our countries with literally over 30 MILLION people that don't belong here.

And even between the years of 2017 and 2024, we've since let more than 60,000 additional Somalis in. There are now estimated between 100,000 and 150,000 Somalis in Minneapolis and St. Paul alone.

That's anywhere from 1/8th to around 1/6th of American-Hating "refugees" making up the population of Minnesota's most populous areas. From zero to that in only a single generation. And a lot of the old ones have American borns underneath their belt that are running for politics and voting for nobody but themselves.

This is a literal takeover of our nation, not just by Somalis, of course. And we're getting to that point where there are enough here they've decided to take it public and are now going to start taking over our Blue cities and the suburbs. They've been biding their time on this for decades now.

What can I say?

You asked for it. You got it. Toyota.

That's the thing that really gets under my skin. I got on the health insurance anywhere from 4 to 8 years before a ton of people who didn't qualify suddenly qualified, post-Covid. Then I get a sickness that I can never recover from and is very expensive to treat. Then the new guy comes in and is going to change the rules so most of those married couples with kids that used to make too much money to qualify for the healthcare get to keep theirs, but because I'm one of those no-good single dudes with no kids I'm a fucking deadbeat and I need to go back to the retail salt mines and eat a shit sandwich every single day.

Not because I need the money, at least any time soon. But because I need the insurance to live. Paying for the treatment out of pocket would bankrupt me very quickly. Buying my own health insurance every year would increase my yearly expenditures to 300% of what they currently are.

They were using their Autism scam to rake in the cash. Opened Fake Autism centers, for only Somali kids, sending $200M to al-shebab in 2024 alone.


In the 29 states which submitted the required data (mostly red states), 186,000 dead people were found to be receiving SNAP. And some were getting SNAP in 6 different states all at once. Wanna bet the 21 Uber Libtard states which refused were even more corrupt, fraudulent, wasteful?
When they get this fixed, they might find funds to give needy like yourself some.

Have you heard about TrumpCare? They are still working out the details (like Rick Scott).
This would have benefitted you years ago, when you were screwed by Obamacare - The Unaffordable Care Act.
However, market forces will be reintroduced back into the current mess, which should drive prices down due to competition, supply and demand. You would have better benefit if having an employer, but the end stage of lower prices - and cost transparency, with you choosing what to purchase - should still help you. The savings are calculated at 70% less than current. But, again, that would include the process of employer payments. Didn't hear clear numbers for unemployed.

Also, incidentally, I've heard some rumors that there are going to be new laws enacted that will severely punish any woman who is found guilty of wrongfully accusing a man of rape, which as I said from the beginning of the MeToo movement was going to be a thing that happens out of sheer necessity when people snapped out of whatever collective spell they were under.

I'm really glad that phrases like "#BeliveAllWomen" are completely out of the public vernacular and a relic of the past in 2025.

That is every bit and equally as stupid as anybody saying Believe All Men.

What are you all? Fuckin' nuts?

#BelieveNoWomen / #BelieveNoMen

While maybe it's unfair and arguably not healthy to be that cynical, you're going to win a lot more than you lose if those are your two hash tags you live with.


Hopefully the American citizens that live beyond me when Republicans take my health insurance away at least can live the rest of their life in more sane times than the first half of the 2020's have been for everyone.

As I have written before, I don’t know whether Rahmanullah Lakanwal, who shot two National Guardsmen in Washington, D.C., killing at least one, is 1) a raving lunatic, 2) a devout Muslim–witnesses said that he shouted “Allahu Akbar” as he murdered Americans–or 3) a sucker who fell for Democratic Party talking points. The fact that it is hard to distinguish among these alternatives is revealing. In all likelihood, at least two of the foregoing categories apply.

More broadly, we can see that the Democrats’ war on law enforcement is succeeding. It has been focused mostly against America’s immigration laws, which Democrats hate but don’t have the votes to repeal. Democrats have viciously attacked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, denouncing its agents as a modern-day “Gestapo,” and trying at every turn to interfere with their work. Most recently, Oregon Governor Tina Kotak has threatened to criminally prosecute ICE employees for doing their jobs. As a legal matter, that threat is absurd. But the real threat lies underneath–the threat that people who are deranged and/or unusually loyal to the Democratic Party will be emboldened to try to kill ICE agents.

That threat is deadly serious:

Assaults on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have skyrocketed 1,150% so far this year compared to the last year of the Biden administration — with nearly 250 attacks recorded since President Trump took office.

The disturbing surge comes amid a climate of heightened danger for immigration authorities, including stalking, death threats, online doxxing and outright assaults, which the Department of Homeland Security says is being encouraged by lefty politicians opposed to Trump’s illegal immigration crackdown.

That is quite a record–a 1,150% increase. Congratulations, Democrats! The same applies to National Guardsmen who have been deployed to bring peace to violent cities, and who have been uniformly denounced by Democratic politicians. We saw the result in the murder of Sarah Beckstrom and the grievous wounding of Andrew Wolfe. When one of America’s two leading parties issues a call for violence (“resistance” to the “Gestapo”), the results are predictable, and surely were both foreseen and intended by leaders of the Democratic Party.

This is where we find ourselves in 2025 America: insurrection has been normalized–we haven’t even gotten to the Seditious Six!–with fatal consequences.
