Not since slave-loving Democrats provoked the succession of Southern states from the Union have Democrats demonstrated such hatred for America, but that is exactly what is happening today in Minnesota and Minneapolis.
Led by Gov. “Tampon” Tim Walz and Boy Toy Mayor Jacob Frey, Minnesota and Minneapolis are now havens for thousands of violent criminals, including rapists, murderers, and pedophiles—many of them already convicted of their violent crimes.
And let’s not forget the 100,000 or so Somalis who have settled in Minneapolis and who brought their corrupt customs and traditions with them, while eschewing assimilation in our country.

The numbers tell the story. Instead of working, the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) reports that:
- 89% of Somali immigrant households with children use some welfare, with 86% on Medicaid (vs. 28% for native households).
- 81% of Somali-headed households on welfare overall; 80% after 10 years in the U.S.
- 73% on Medicaid, 54% on food stamps (SNAP), 27% on cash welfare (vs. 18%, 7%, 6% for native-born Americans).
Then there’s the fraud committed by Minnesota’s Somali population. That has apparently hit at least $9 billion, and federal investigators in the IRS, the Treasury Department, the FBI, the Department of Agriculture, and DHS say that number could go higher.
But hey, just as Confederate Democrats in 1861 went to war to keep their slaves, Tampon Tim and Boy Toy Frey are going to war to keep violent criminals in Minnesota.
Why? You might ask. Because those violent criminals and those America-hating Somali fraudsters are Democrat voters, and the last thing Walz and Frey want is ICE, Border Patrol, and DHS agents arresting and deporting these “model hard-working citizens” from the U.S.
I wonder, however, how many resident Minnesotans really agree with Walz and Frey in opposing federal agents enforcing federal law? I wonder how many hard-working Minnesotans are happy with Somalis who are still gorging themselves at the public trough and who have been pilfering taxpayer money to buy luxury homes and cars, as well as money laundering and remittances, with some allegedly diverted overseas to the Islamic terrorist group al-Shabaab.

I would wager not many traditional Minnesotans are happy about the criminals, the fraud, and the unhinged opposition to the enforcement of federal immigration law that permeates today’s state.
A look at Minnesota’s history might provide some insight.
Early settlement in Minnesota followed the U.S. acquisition of the territory in 1803 via the Louisiana Purchase, with a heavy Scandinavian influx peaking mid-19-century due to land availability and farming opportunities. Minnesota was primarily settled in the 19th century by immigrants, particularly from Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Germany. Minnesota became the 32nd U.S. state on May 11, 1858.
These Scandinavian groups transformed areas like Minneapolis’s Cedar-Riverside neighborhood from European immigrant enclaves into established communities before later demographic shifts. Northern and Central Europeans in the 19th century worked, socialized, and farmed in ways similar to those of later migrants, helping to shape the state’s cultural Scandinavian landscape.

I know this from personal experience because my great-grandparents left Denmark and became successful farmers in the state. In other words, they assimilated and turned Minnesota into a prosperous state, grounded in honesty and hard work.
Nary a Somali pirate was in sight.
Nor were there any Venezuelan Tren de Aragua, Colombian, or Mexican cartel thugs—the kind of immigrants far removed from the hard-working Scandinavian farmers and business owners who made Minnesota the successful state it is today.
Those early Scandinavian settlers must be looking down on Minnesota with disappointment, if not downright anger.
They must be wondering what in the hell happened to honest and steadfast leadership. They must be asking why the state’s governor and Boy Toy Mayor Frey looked the other way when whistleblowers consistently reported fraud perpetrated by the Somali community.
Instead of investigating whistleblower depositions, corrupt Minnesota officials covered up the crimes to harvest Somali votes—and possibly kickbacks, say DOJ sources.
Meanwhile, in Minnesota’s Feeding Our Future COVID fraud case (2020-2022), 70 people have been charged so far. Nearly all (69) were Somali Americans or Somali nationals, according to DOJ indictments and court records.

A further breakdown of Somali fraud schemes thus far reveals the following:
- 47 charged with wire fraud/conspiracy, 23 more in related probes; 52 convicted/guilty pleas by 2025, including leader Aimee Bock and Somali figures like Abdikadir Nur and Mohamed Jama Ismail.
- Separate $250 million Medicaid fraud ring: 20+ Somali defendants charged, 14 convicted.
- Overall, 100+ Somali-linked defendants across schemes currently totaling $1.4B, according to the state Attorney General and FBI data.
But to listen to Tampon Tim and Boy Toy Frey, there is nothing to see here. They want the world to focus on ICE, FBI, and DHS agents who are currently surging in Minneapolis and St. Paul, rounding up criminal illegal migrants while under constant harassment by Soros-paid “protestors.”
Both Walz and Frey are caterwauling about “abusive” ICE agents, federal “kidnappings” of illegal migrants, and the shooting death of Renee Good by an ICE agent. Good hit the ICE agent with her car during an attempt to block ICE agents from departing a neighborhood where they had captured criminal migrants. He fired his handgun three times. One bullet passed through the windshield, while two others entered through the driver’s side window.

Both Walz and Frey are using the shooting to incite violence and harassment against ICE agents, and on January 12, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, along with the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, filed a lawsuit against DHS Secretary Kristi Noem seeking to block the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement raids in the Twin Cities.
The suit alleges unconstitutional targeting, racial profiling, warrantless arrests, and interference with local authorities. Defendants include Noem, Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons, Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino, DHS, ICE, and CBP. Ellison cited the shooting of Good and “militarized raids” at schools and hospitals as violations of federal law and the Constitution.
Legal experts say the suit has little merit, and even if it gets to court, it will most likely go nowhere—especially as it concerns federal law and the Constitution. Some say the suit might result in preliminary injunctions, but if so, it will face federal supremacy challenges that the Supreme Court will most certainly uphold.
Meanwhile, Minnesota’s war with America continues.
The biggest question I have is what a majority of Minnesotans think about the thousands of violent criminals and illegal migrants who have invaded their state and the unhinged mobs of people who, along with Walz and Frey, want to protect the reprobates from federal arrest and deportation.
But like the hundreds of thousands of ambitious and hardworking Scandinavians who first settled Minnesota 150 years ago, the vast majority of today’s Minnesotans are too busy earning their livings, paying their taxes, and caring for their families to harass and pursue federal ICE agents.
And I bet very few want their state to go to war with America.
