I snapped* this one myself.
Under this recent post about a Minnesota MentalCaseRep named Kozlowski, commenter Alarmist brought up the controversy regarding the newest version of the Minnesota State flag. Some States do change designs fairly regularly. Some don't.
The Minnesotans, being mostly very nice, nice people but without a whole lot of long-term experience with diversity, decided that they'd be glad to import thousands, no, 10's of thousands (64 thousand living there last count) of people from far-off Somalia. These people are of a different religion, with a much different culture, with much different genetics, but if "we" welcome them warmly, don'tcha know, they'll settle in nicely. You betcha!
But, but, as a group, they don't WANT to fit in. They want to live like black Moslem, non-Minnesotan Somalians. It's whom they are! With that many around, they may as well get involved in the government. The odious traitorous, hopefully soon-de
This one should remind all of us of exactly how much a traitor to the US Ilhan Omar is. She reckons nobody outside her Somalian contingent supporters speaks the language, but... computers!
You'll be incensed at this, I warn you:
She does mention our President though, at least. I'll give her that. We ARE talking about Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, right? (I figured he'd taken over from old senile Brandon or something - I don't watch TV, so ...)
(Note: All flags in this post stripped of some material but especially this one to show the center pictorial.)
Back to the Minnesota flag controversy. Well the problem is, you can't show an Indian riding horseback while a White man is there working hard taking care of the land. (It looks like he's running a roto-tiller, but it might be a mower - don't want to open another can of worms.) No, to be Woke, or at the very least politically correct, you are better off wiping out all the history to be proud of completely off the flag. Just put some stars and stripes and Minnesota colors on it, and be done with it.
Minnesota had a competition for the most favorite new flag. This is where the big controversy came in, as per the website of one Sara** Carter, we read from December of '23 about Outrage over Minnesota’s new flag looking just like Ilhan Omar’s home flag of Somalia. You've got to look there to see a VERY CLOSE resemblance, not to Somalia's flag itself but to Omar's home State there of Puntland. (Yeah, her family punted and then left the field.) This is important because if you're gonna get your say in the design of the flag of your "new homeland" you need to base it on the right old homeland. There's a war there and all - that's important for Americans!
Besides the navy blue near the pole, the suggested new MN flag had the very same light blue, white, and green stripes as the Puntland, Somalia flag. The star, though, had/has 8 points vs. 5.
“Minnesota is home to the largest Somali population in the West. Rep. Ilhan Omar (Minnesota) is from Puntland. Minnesota just unveiled their new flag. I’m sure this is just a coincidence.”What a coincidence! It could have brought people close together.
The Western Journal reported the new flag, an ” abstract shape of the state with an eight-pointed white North Star,” still could be altered by officials. However, it has “come under a searing microscope” because of the online references to the similarities between the new design and “the flag of a state within the historically impoverished African nation of Somalia.”
This did not fly, thankfully! (Perhaps an uprising was feared. Can Minnesotans get mad? I don't know.)
There is no more proud Minnesota history on the State flag, but at least they got away, for now, without one that represents only their newcomer Somalians, the ones from Puntland, of course, not those Splitters! from Bumfuckistan East.
Thanks to Americans that voted in Donald Trump, America has gotten away without the Tubman Twenty too ... for at least a while.
While looking for my older images - I had this post in mind after reading Sara Carter's article when it was published - I came across a couple of other oldies that involve Somalians in Minnesota. Here's an old tweet. There's been trouble on the light rail, it seems. Now, THAT's not nice! Who are these troublemakers? Where'd they come from, Maple Valley, Edina, Eagan, maybe some of those bad, bad kids out of Mankato, don'tcha know?
Yeah, and then, to excuse any possible bad behavior on the part of our still-not-quite-settled-in Somalian guests, they had to come to Minnesota, cause... yeah, that Climate Calamity™ deal. It's really hot down there in Somalia and the newspaper says "Climate change is turbo-charging Somalia’s problems - but there's still hope." Our guests will be able to cool down up here in the great
* How do you "snap" a picture these days? It's just a computer making whatever noises you want.
** I'd thought that SARA, as part of a nice logo, was the acronym for some organization. Nope, it's just Sara Carter.

Somalians, not Samoans. Sorry. That’s what I get for posting during the groggy middle of the night. And besides, I should know the difference because for one group spam is the top-of-pyramid primary food while for the other it is a nono food. Anyway, those Covid airport pics reminded me of an infuriating page-one
WSJ column written when air travel was 5% of what it had been. The writer’s characterization was that it was “a slump.”

PS: That's one of my favorite road trip songs, SafeNow, or favorite oldies period. I get to travel around quite a bit SafeNow, not always on my dime. I can't say I've been anything but THROUGH St. Paul, on that I-94, both eastbound and westbound.
However, I've been to Minneapolis on a road trip long ago - too early to have seen what goes on now, but through the airport and around that local area a lot. I wrote a bunch of posts - not from direct experience though - 5 years back. This one "Snow Town is now Bro Town"
https://www.peakstupidity.com/index.php?post=1485
has lots of other links to mostly Peak Stupidity posts.
I've got some graphs of trends in "The Demographics of Snow Bro Town"

That's about blacks in general up there. Of course, our commenter G. Anderson is from the area so he has chimed in under many of the posts. You can look up Ganderson on TUR for his comments there, though he doesn't comment that often.
Anyway, I wrote the previous as I was trying to find this one, written when in this nice observation deck at MSP, "Pictures from the end of America?" during the deepest depths of the Kung Flu PanicFest.

Ohhh, Somoans, not Somalians?? Ha, I don't know where they hang out - California somewheres? To get back to the subject, what pisses me off is seeing the usual TSA anti-Amendment-IV security theater going on, as mostly run by Somalians. It's not really that I think any of them there are up to no good, but if ANYONE were, it ain't the nice Minnesota lady who's grandson the TSA must feel up to check for bombs. Also, the ramp areas - the loading of planes, filling up of fluids - Jet-A, potable water, blue juice, all that has loads of Somalians working the job too.
It's almost as if it's all designed to humiliate us with blatant hypocritical stupidity. [/Sailer construct]

Because the Samoans are now here, maybe one should visit a Samoan community, to observe and understand the highways and byways and Aargh!-ways. (St. Paul is the biggie, although it would be sad to see what has become of “I can still recall, The wheat fields of St. Paul”. (“Dog Named Boo” lyric). But how to measure the cost and benefit of making the trip?? Here Mr. Moderator’s test could come to the rescue. If memory serves…Facing that question in the case of his road-trip to the Georgia Guidestones (sort of a Mini-stonehenge), Mr. Moderator posited quantitative guidance: Yes, do the Guidestones, if it entails less than a 100-mile trip. This has stuck with me because it conveys the bottom line in objective —butsuccinct — engineering terms, and is fun. So, how far should one drive to see the Samoans? I propose 10 miles. To have lunch with Ron Unz….100 miles. To have a meeting with a guy who can and will reveal who killed JFK? 250 miles(sorry, Ron).
I’m sorry

I’m baaaaack….
Nothing like a peak stupidity post to get my home sickness going! As our beloved moderator has pointed out, I am a Saint Paul boy born and bred; brought up in the Irish Catholic ghetto that was the Saint Paul of my youth.. I use the term ghetto somewhat snarlkily, but Saint Paul in the 1960s and 70s was largely run by the Irish. There wasn’t much of it would be considered “ghetto.” today.
As implied by your post, Ilhan Omar is a national disgrace. I think her high profile might have something to do with the fact that she’s pretty; if she looked like aunt Esther from Sanford and Son she’d be taken less seriously.
There is a group of high-rise apartment buildings that were built on the West Bank of the Mississippi just off the University of Minnesota West Bank campus back in the 70s. * They were designed mostly to be student housing. I’m not sure when this happened, probably the 90s ,but that area is now referred to as “little Mogadishu“. Not a lot of guys named Sven and Ole live there anymore. (Actually, and this is germane to the discussion. there never were a lot of guys named Sven and Ole living in Cedar Square West; the huge numbers of us square heads (like my grandparents ) who came to MN between 1870 and 1920 were all fully assimilated by 1970- long before that in fact . The Cedar Square complex today is , basically, an African slum. However, Minnesotans ,like their Scandinavian cousins ,don’t want to talk about it. I guess they figure if they wait long enough,those Somalis will be playing hockey and eating Swedish potato sausage.
The story of Cedar Square, West, the story of George Floyd, and the story of the renaming of Lake Calhoun are the sad facts of decline of one of the nicest big cities in America to live.
* Cedar Avenue, which runs next to Cedar Square West is a major north South artery in South Minneapolis. So many Scandinavians lived along that route that it was referred to as “ Snoose Blvd.” Also, if you drive a few blocks south on Cedar down to E 35th St., you’ll come to Matt‘s Bar, original home of the Juicy Lucy which is a hamburger or rather a cheeseburger, with the cheese on the inside ! Delicious!
Just in case any of you were wondering, I’m still a regular reader, but I don’t comment as much, mostly because most of you say what I would have said anyway and I don’t wanna be filed in the department of redundancy department! Also too, I’ve recently been diagnosed with Michael J. Fox disease, so typing has become a little more taxing , not impossible but a little more difficult so I tend to keep my commenting to a manageable level. Still enjoy you all ‘s comments though.
