Air Force In Somalia
It is being reported that a USAF AC130 has swung into action in Somalia, firing on al Qaeda fighters who apparently have been cornered by Somali and Ethiopian troops. Austin Bay has analysis and updates as they become available. UPDATE: The AP has more: Citing Pentagon officials, CBS said the targets included the senior al-Qaida leader in East Africa and an al-Qaida operative wanted for his involvement in the 1998 »
More Good News From Somalia
The last stronghold of the Islamist rebels in Somalia, the town of Kismayo, has fallen. The victory may yield an unexpected prize: three Islamic terrorists who are believed to be responsible for the embassy bombings of 1998. Prime Minister Ali Mohamed Gedi says, “If we capture them alive we will hand them over to the United States.” Islamist rebels are fleeing, and the government of Somalia is calling on the »
Ethiopia Enters Somalia Conflct
The situation in Somalia is very dire, with Islamic militants controlling Mogadishu and much of the country. Ehiopia has now joined the fighting: Fighting escalated in Somalia Sunday as Ethiopian planes and helicopter gun ships attacked Islamist targets in several central provinces. One area that came under heavy attack was the town of Baledweyn, 220 miles south of the capital Mogadishu… In Addis Ababa, Ethiopia’s information minister said his country »
Feeding our fraud goes to trial
I went to federal court in downtown Minneapolis yesterday morning for the opening statements in tbe first Feeding Our Future fraud trial. When it comes to Covid fraud, we’re number 1. The case features a cast of “diverse” defendants without much diversity. They are almost all Somali, I am sorry to say. By the same token, I believe that one of my Somali friends helped expose the fraud and assist »
The Daily Chart: Immigration and Crime in Europe
From MSN: Report Shows Higher Conviction Rates for Muslim Immigrants in Denmark Compared to Natives Recent revelations based on data from Statistics Denmark shed light on a concerning trend: immigrants and their descendants in Denmark were convicted of violent crimes at a significantly higher rate than individuals of Danish origin between 2010 and 2021. The statistics paint a stark picture, particularly for young men from predominantly Muslim nations in the »
Who’s Leaving Where?
We have written about the Great Sort many times, but frankly you can’t emphasize it enough. Americans are deserting blue states and cities in favor of red zones. Liberalism has proved to be a failure by the most reliable measure: fewer and fewer people want to live under liberal regimes. Here are two examples. First, the City of New York, which was thought doomed to dystopia in the 1970s, rallied »
Thoughts from the ammo line
Ammo Grrrll fires off PART 3: LIES WE ARE FORCED TO BELIEVE – AND TO REPEAT. She writes: There is no way that we can possibly cover ALL the Orwellian lies and woke absurdities that we are forced to swallow daily AND repeat if we want to sit with the Cool Kids in the Lunchroom. Or have a job or a bank account. Most lies have been addressed by others, »
Omar the Magnificent
Suppose you are a House Democrat who has been in office for 15 or 20 years, dutifully working your way up the ladder as a chair of a subcommittee, raising money for the caucus, etc., and you heart that Ihlan Omar is booked on one of the premier Sunday morning network news shows. Look, even Nancy Pelosi can’t stand Omar and the rest of the squalid “Squad.” And then you »
Thoughts from the ammo line
Ammo Grrrll reflects on GRATITUDE, INGRATITUDE and SHAME. She writes: As I may have said here before – sometimes I feel like in 10 years I’ve said EVERYTHING here before – Thanksgiving is at least tied with 4th of July for my favorite holiday. First of all, the menu is hard to beat – Turkey, Gravy, Mashed Potatoes, Gravy, Cornbread/Hot Sausage Stuffing, Gravy, Squash, Cranberries, Scalloped Corn, Biscuits, and Gravy. »
The View from Budapest, on Ukraine, China, and the U.S.
BUDAPEST, September 25: I’ve been so overbooked in Budapest that I haven’t had time to file any foreign dispatches, and I have a lot to catch up on. I spent most of Saturday at a small roundtable convened by the Hungarian Institute of International Affairs, which was devoted to exploring American and Hungarian perspectives on a variety of issues. The meeting was off-the-record and under Chatham House rules, so I »
Triggered
There I was, placidly reading Michael Barone’s excellent column “The Proximal Origin of a Scientific Fraud.” Referring to the recently released emails that reveal the “Proximal Origins” deceit, Barone concludes: I found the cynicism revealed in these emails shocking, even though I have written critically, in July 2021 and March 2023, about government scientists’ attempts to discredit the lab leak theory. I note that statistics guru Nate Silver, not a »
Why Do We Tolerate Crime?
I wrote yesterday about the appalling murder–call it what it was–of five young Somali women by a career criminal named Derrick Thompson. Derrick is the son of John Thompson, a former DFL legislator who is best known as an anti-police activist, and who also has a considerable criminal record, largely related to traffic violations. Derrick Thompson was clocked at 95 to 100 mph on Highway 35W, probably the Twin Cities’ »
Five Dead, Democrats to Blame [Updated]
John Thompson was a Democratic member of the Minnesota House of Representatives. In August 2020, while a candidate, he led a BLM “protest” at the home of Bob Kroll, who then was the head of the police union in the City of Minneapolis. We wrote about that here and elsewhere. Thompson, a disgusting individual, led a crowd in obscene chants and threatened violence against those associated with the Minneapolis Police »
“Gentlemen, there is no fighting in here…”
Minneapolis’s Ward 10 bisects Lake Bde Maka Spa, formerly known as Lake Calhoun. It includes the Uptown neighborhood running up to the lake as well as the Whittier neighborhood running from Lake Street to Franklin Avenue. It is, you might say in the current lingo, “diverse,” insofar as such diversity is understood to be consistent with one-party rule. Minneapolis’s one party called a convention to endorse a candidate for the »
Steven Crowder Deserves Cancellation for Despicable Take on Down Syndrome Barbie
In collaboration with the National Down Syndrome Society, toy manufacturing company Mattel added a Down Syndrome Barbie to their product line on Tuesday. Typically, I turn off when I hear the word “inclusion,” but in this case, I think Mattel has done a very caring and lovely thing. Citing data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Associated Press reported that Down syndrome “is the most common chromosomal »
Feeding Our Future: Bill Glahn’s update
Minnesota’s Feeding Our Future fraud is astounding. When it comes to Covid fraud, we’re number 1. The fraud is massive and the indictments are still coming. One of my Somali friends previewed the fraud in a Facebook video he posted just before the FBI unsealed search warrants reflecting its investigation in January 2022. We have sought to follow the story since then. The indictments have now reached 60 in number. »
Feeding Our Future fraud goes to the laundromat
Jack Prelutsky has a good poem titled “A wolf is at the laundromat.” Attending yesterday’s press conference on the charges brought against ten new defendants in Minnesota’s massive Feeding Our Future fraud, I thought “a thief is at the laundromat.” United States Attorney Andrew Luger held the press conference to announce the unsealing of charges against 10 new defendants in Minnesota’s very own massive Feeding Our Future fraud late yesterday »
