On October 9, 2023, the Sydney Opera House was supposed to be the scene of a Jewish solidarity rally with the victims of the Oct 7 Islamic massacres in Israel. Muslim mobs instead took over, waving terrorist flags and screaming, “Where are the Jews” and F___ the Jews” while the authorities did nothing. Despite the widespread availability of videos and eyewitness accounts, the authorities and the media vocally denied it ever happened. Arson attacks at two synagogues, one of which was set on fire during the Shabbat while congregants were inside, a restaurant and other Jewish community areas followed. The Iranian who set fire to a synagogue on the Sabbath claimed that he didn’t know it was a synagogue (despite the giant Star of David outside) and blamed mental illness. He was sentenced to time served and released with the magistrate claiming that locking up the arsonist was “disgraceful.” On the 11th anniversary of the Lindt Cafe siege (another Muslim terrorist attack blamed on ‘mental i...

“Somali Immigrants Are Revitalizing Main Street America,” NBC News claimed. A barrage of similar stories hailed Somalis and other Muslim migrants for ‘transforming’ Middle America. After President Trump’s criticism of Somali abuse, triggered by reporting of massive $1B plus frauds conducted by the David Horowitz Freedom Center and other conservative media outlets, the media has rushed out more of these same stories about Somali accomplishments. But let’s look at some of the facts. Somalis are the second largest foreign-born population in Minnesota after Mexicans. 42% of Somalis fall below the poverty line. This is far worse than the 21% poverty rate for African-Americans or any Christian African immigrant population such as Ethiopians (18%) or Nigerians (8%). 45% of Nigerians own homes, so do 27% of African-Americans, but only 12% of Somali settlers in America do. Somali ‘exceptionalism’ is not racial or immigrant: it’s cultural. 40.6% of Somalis settlers in Minnesota don’t even have a...

When Dana Williamson, Newsom’s chief of staff, came under FBI investigation, the governor did not disclose the investigation. Instead, Gov. Gavin Newsom put her on leave and praised “her insight, tenacity, and big heart.” Why did Newsom cover up the investigation? Because it was really an investigation of him. Williamson’s lawyer said that the FBI had been conducting a probe into Newsom and someone close to the former chief-of-staff claimed that “federal investigators tried to pressure Williamson into implicating Newsom.” They didn’t describe what it is Newsom might have been doing. While his chief of staff was being arrested as part of a raid, Newsom had disappeared into the Brazilian rainforest after attending the UN’s COP30 conference in Brazil and to see the ‘effects of climate change’ in person while his spokesperson issued a statement claiming that Williamson “no longer serves in this administration” even though the alleged crimes were committed while she did, and implying that ...

Even as many Republicans were preparing to paint Democrats as the ‘Party of Mamdani’, President Trump’s staffers invited Zohran Mamdani for a high-profile chat with Trump. Vice President J.D. Vance, who had previously mocked Mamdani, now calls him “fascinating”. “Obviously, I’m not a communist, and I think he is,” Vance argued, “but the fact that he focuses so aggressively on the affordability question in New York City, which does have one of the worst affordability crises anywhere in the world, is smart, and he’s at least listening to people.” “Most politicians, it’s a very low bar, but they don’t even listen to people. I would put Mamdani, Bernie and Ro Khanna in the category of those who, at least sometimes, they are.” “I’ve always been fascinated by Bernie,” Vance also claimed, saying that if he repeated what the Vermont socialist had told him, “it would probably really hurt me on both the left and the right.” Naive comments like these show how institutional knowledge of Communism...

The most extraordinary thing about the confrontation that wrongly sent Ian Cranston, an unassuming young man in glasses, to prison for a decade, is that there was very little argument over the facts because they’re amply documented and were caught on video. The prosecution admitted that Cranston was assaulted by Barry Washington Jr: a violent criminal who had been harassing his fiancée. The assault by Washington was severe enough that Cranston looks battered in his booking photo, suffered a brain injury, and had to be taken to the hospital for evaluation. Before Ian Cranston shot Washington in self-defense, the drunken violent criminal had not only attacked him, but also his fiancée, and had punched another of Cranston’s friends in the nose. The only reason a case that normally should never have even come to trial not only did, but led to an innocent man being locked up for ten years was due to the deadliest three letter acronym. BLM. The shooting happened in Oregon in 2021. And BLM r...

Sexual assaults are up 5% in Minnesota. Statistics from the Hennepin County prosecutor’s office, which includes Minneapolis and its Somali population, shows that the number of sexual assault cases is up 62% from 2018. Cedar-Riverside, the neighborhood commonly known as ‘Little Mogadishu’ for its Somali population, has some of the worst crime rates in Minneapolis. To what extent does the state’s Somali settler population contribute to its sexual assault crisis? While there are no firm numbers, I tracked some of the offenders with the most common Muslim name Mohamed (after the prophet of Islam, whom the Koran described as a serial sex offender, assaulting captured women and in the process legalizing the sexual assault of non-Muslim women under Sharia Islamic law) and what I found was not only a pattern of offenses, but of complicity by local authorities who have allowed Somali Muslim sex predators to reoffend. Take the recent case of Abdimahat Bille Mohamed, a Somali Muslim, who was arre...
