Paying for our own destruction? Now it's 10 Somali migrants elected to office in Minnesota

by Eric Utter 

There are now 10 Somali elected officials in Minnesota, including the inimitable Rep. Ilhan Omar.

Count them, ten.

The latest one is Abdi Daisane, whose daycare (learing?) center was the beneficiary of $7.2 million in taxpayer money, despite repeated violations. Daisane’s wife is reported to have said of her arrival in the U.S., “I smuggled myself and jumped over the wall.”

As with everything else fraudulent and illegal these days, no one really cared. 

🇺🇸🇸🇴 Imagine how things are going in Minnesota that a Somali daycare owner just flipped a Republican seat and gave his victory speech in Somali 😳 Abdi Daisane won Minnesota House District 14A. The crowd at his celebration was almost entirely Somali, and the speech itself stayed in Somali rather than English. INSANE! Writer: Lucas https://t.co/ThZ8s5CZvM

Actually, it’s worse than that. Turns out taxpayers have also been funding a Somali-led organization that trains Somalis to run for political office.

Great. If we are going to be forced to pay to train Somalis, couldn’t it be to train them in, say, the Judeo-Christian work ethic? 

The organization in question is Ayada Leads, a 501(c)(3) non-profit which has been funded by taxpayers through the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, or MDEED. (I suggest rebranding MDEED as “MISDEED.”)

Ayada Leads trains Somali Muslim candidates in “campaign planning & strategizing,” “fundraising,” “endorsements,” and other aspects of obtaining power.Its own site states that, “Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is the first woman Ayada Leads recruited to run for office.”

Ayada has also taken credit for the election of State Sen. Zaynab Mohamed, State Rep. Hodan Hassan, and Mayor Nadia Mohamed of St. Louis Park, Minnesota, among others. 

This seems a bit problematic to me. The IRS website states of 501(c)(3) organizations being banned from political campaign intervention: “It is a requirement imposed by Congress for the privilege of being recognized as exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. For an organization to be tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) it cannot ‘participate in, or intervene in (including the publishing or distributing of statements) any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for public office.’” Hmm.

Ayada is a Somali word, apparently meaning “her.” As in, “I’m with her,” Hillary Clinton’s moronic 2016 campaign slogan. Come to think of it, Hillary might have done better if she had worn a niqab and hijab.

Should taxpayers — wittingly or unwittingly -- be made to fund a political training and advocacy program? One specifically for the advancement of Somali candidates? There will be more than 100 avowed Muslims in public office in the U.S. by the time every 2026 midterm race has been called. There will be over 250 Democratic Socialists of America in public office in these formerly United States at that time, as well. (Emphasis on socialists.) Far more than ever before.

We are, once again, sowing the seeds of our own destruction. That seems to be what we do best at this point. We used to do things like protect our families and communities, conquer the Wild West, defeat our enemies, and invent, well, everything. Now we appear hell bent … on surrendering to Marxists and Muslims.

Remarkable turnaround. It’s almost as if we have been fundamentally transformed.
