Black Hawk Down: Little Mogadishu is Coming to a Main Street Near You

Minnesota’s mess–fraud, immigration policy, divided loyalties, and voting blocs–should matter to every single American.
Look, nobody enjoys being the bearer of bad news, but somebody has to say it: what’s happening in Minnesota right now isn’t just a “Midwest problem.” It’s a preview. The billion-plus dollars in taxpayer money that vanished into fake meal programs, ghost autism clinics, and suitcases full of cash headed to Somalia? That money didn’t come from some magical Minnesota money tree.

It came from you—whether you live in Texas, Florida, Idaho, or Maine.

Here’s the part that should keep every conservative (and every commonsense American) awake at night: the ingredients that cooked up this disaster are already simmering in dozens of other states.

  1. Federal dollars + weak oversight = an open invitation to fraud
    The Feeding Our Future scandal, the autism-therapy explosion, the housing-stabilization grift—these weren’t clever one-offs. They were predictable once Washington started flinging hundreds of billions in pandemic aid with almost no strings attached. Minnesota just happened to have the perfect mix of generous state benefits, nonprofit middlemen, and political hesitation to shut it down. Copy-paste that recipe into any state with a big refugee-resettlement industry (Georgia, Ohio, Washington, Texas) and you’ll get the same result. Your tax dollars are already subsidizing the next scandal.
  2. Chain migration + secondary migration = instant voting blocs
    Somalis didn’t accidentally end up concentrated in Minneapolis. Cheap housing, factory jobs, generous welfare, and an established network pulled them in like gravity. Once the first few thousand arrived, family reunification and word-of-mouth did the rest. Today one city ward can swing a congressional primary because of clan-based turnout. That same dynamic is playing out with Afghans in northern Virginia, Venezuelans in south Florida, and Congolese in Columbus. Ten years from now those wards will decide close House races—and therefore control of Congress.
  3. Divided loyalties aren’t exceptions; they’re policy
    When a sitting U.S. congresswoman gives a speech (in Somali) that gets translated—accurately or not—as “Somalia first, America… whenever we get around to it,” people notice. When police recruits brag on video that they’re really there to serve “our own people,” trust erodes. Most immigrants are grateful and law-abiding, but it only takes a visible minority with foreign-first attitudes to poison the well for everyone. That loss of social cohesion doesn’t stay inside Hennepin County; it fuels national backlash, makes assimilation harder, and hands ammunition to our enemies.
  4. No accountability, no deterrent
    Whistleblowers in Minnesota’s DHS say they were threatened and monitored when they raised red flags. The governor’s office–Tim Walz the left’s recent VP candidate– slow-walked investigations for years, terrified of being called racist.  Result: the fraud grew from millions to billions. When politicians refuse to enforce basic rules because they’re afraid of losing a key ethnic bloc, the message to every grifter in America is crystal clear: go west (or east, or south) and set up shop. 79 of the 87 people under indictment right now are Somalian but you couldn’t notice that or say that for fear of retribution. The next Feeding Our Future won’t be in Minneapolis; it’ll be wherever the oversight is weakest and the voting bloc is strongest.
  5. It’s one country, one budget
    Conservatives have been saying this forever: there is no such thing as “other people’s money” in a federal system. The dollars looted in Minnesota were FEMA money, USDA money, HHS money—your money. Our one big collective budget, sent our tax dollars to Al-Shabaab terror network. The “melting pot” …the “diversity is our strength” is a myth. We aren’t melting together. We are being conquered. The congressional seats flipped by concentrated enclaves affect your gun rights, your taxes, your kids’ schools. Hey, Texas! Wanna add anything here about your exclusive Islamic communities?
  6. Postcards from the left = these are not anomalies within the Democratic party. They are norms that are finally being allowed to see the light of day. Immigration? NGO corruption? Open borders? Identity politics? Ideology overriding common sense? Control via political correctness? This wide scale fraud isn’t the singular bad fruit, it is the intended fruit of their rotten Marxist roots.

 

How in the world did Tim Walz get on a ticket?

 

All of this was known. Kamala (with her missing campaign billion) and Walz were arguably the least competent pair ever put before the American public. You have to ask how and why they were elevated so unnecessarily and quickly…why have they been shielded from any sincere questioning or metric of merit? Because they must serve a purpose.

I can’t think of any that aren’t nefarious.

The people at the top of this pyramid scheme aren’t trying to build a well-functioning system.

They’re trying to preserve and expand their own power, wealth, and safety. Competent people are a threat to that goal; useful idiots are an asset.In short: incompetence in subordinates isn’t a bug for certain types of leaders—it’s a feature. Mayday! Mayday! Black hawk down, indeed. 
The good news? This doesn’t have to be permanent.
Secure the border, switch to merit-based immigration, require real oversight on every dollar that leaves Washington, and expect—yes, expect—new citizens to put America first. Do that, and the Minnesota mess stays an embarrassing footnote instead of a national epidemic.
Because if we don’t fix the incentives that created Little Mogadishu’s billion-dollar heist, the next one won’t be in Minnesota. It’ll be in your state. And by then, the tab will be even higher.
