People don't think of Minnesota as a destination spot for Muslim immigrants--and with good reason. Why would any sane person from an equatorial/desert region, as most Minnesota Muslims are, come to a region known for its Siberia-like climate?

There is a reason: money. And lots of it. Minnesota has long prided itself as a haven for refugees, and the largest population of Somalis outside of Somalia lives in Minnesota. 

There is a part of Minneapolis we call "Little Mogadishu" both because of the large concentration of Somali refugees and because it is about as lawless as Mogadishu. It is not quite the "no-go" zone you find in European cities, but it is a good place to avoid if you don't belong there. 

Somalis and Muslims, in general, have become a significant political force in Minnesota, which explains why Ilhan Omar can easily walk away with her primary and general elections. As the Somali population exploded, they started displacing long-term incumbents. In one of the great ironies of Minnesota politics, Phyllis Kahn, a Jewish legislator of longstanding, was kicked out by a coalition of Somalis, leading her to complain about noncitizen voting. 

Since Minnesota makes voter fraud impossible to discover--intentionally--she was hoisted by her own petard. Her Somali opponent urged people to "vote the old Jewish lady out." And they did. 

The Democrat-Farmer-Labor Party--our version of the Democrat Party--has long accommodated itself to the political power of Somalis and Muslims in general and has funneled hundreds of millions of dollars into the community both legally and illegally. The largest COVID fraud case in the country is here in Minnesota, in which the Minnesota Department of Education handed $250 million in school lunch aid money to fraudulent Somali charities to feed school children during the pandemic. 

The irony? The organization that Walz funneled all this money to is called "Feeding our Future." Perfect Walz, using lunch money for kids to scam the taxpayers of hundreds of millions of dollars. When you see that photo of Walz hugged by children just know that the money went to fraudsters, not kids. 

It was a scam, and everybody knew it, including the Minnesota Department of Education. The FBI eventually closed it down because the DFL wasn't going to interrupt the flow of taxpayer money to the scammers who were Democrats. Some of that money would flow back into the coffers of the party and the Democrat candidates, after all. A quarter of a billion dollars is a small price to pay for owning a state. 

It is in that context that you have to understand Governor Tim Walz's close ties to the Islamists who support Hitler and al Qaeda--he has funneled money to supporters of both and highly praised them.

We've already covered Walz's promotion of a Hitler-promoting Imam as a "Master Teacher" in an earlier post, so let's look at another case. As with the earlier story, this one was dug up by Gabe Kaminsky of The Washington Examiner. 

BREAKING: Under Gov. Tim Walz, the State of Minnesota awarded $2 million to an Islamic group fundraising for a charity that—just recently—worked with a terrorist organization sanctioned by the United States for funding al Qaeda, @dcexaminer has confirmedhttps://t.co/3zgJu0EhSA

Politics often comes down to throwing money at people from whom you want support, and this case is no different. 

As the Muslim community gained numbers and, hence, power, the DFL/Democrats started tossing cash at them in huge quantities and cozying up to them as a particularly useful demographic. Somalis, as has been shown by the sheer scale of multiple 9-figure fraud cases, are very comfortable with a particularly lawless form of politics, and the DFL has used their willingness to shamelessly and illegally steal money and toss it around to get more of it.

Walz understands this very well and has enthusiastically played the money-for-power game. And while no doubt Tim Walz is not himself a supporter of the Nazis or al Qaeda, he seems perfectly willing to play ball with those who do. You scratch my back and I will scratch yours. 

EXCLUSIVE — Under Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), the state of Minnesota awarded over $2 million to an Islamic group that fundraises for a charity linked to an al Qaeda affiliate, according to funding records reviewed by the Washington Examiner.

The Islamic Association of North America, the recipient of the state grants from 2019 to 2024, is fundraising after Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel last year for Rahma Worldwide, a Michigan-based charity that says it is shipping humanitarian aid to Gaza, according to flyers. In a since-deleted Facebook post in October 2023, Rahma Worldwide President Shadi Zaza revealed his charity was collaborating on an aid initiative with the Islamic Heritage Revival Society of Kuwait, a terrorist group sanctioned by the U.S. government for funding al Qaeda.

News of the Walz administration’s grants to the IANA comes as the Democratic vice presidential candidate faces backlash after a series of Washington Examiner reports revealed his ties to Muslim cleric Asad Zaman. As Minnesota’s governor, Walz has repeatedly hosted Zaman, who shared a pro-Adolf Hitler movie on social media and defended the Oct. 7 attack. Moreover, according to unearthed footage, Walz referred to Zaman as a “master teacher” at a 2018 event held by the Zaman-led Muslim American Society of Minnesota, which partners with the IANA.

Nobody in Minnesota politics would be shocked by any of this, not that our local news media has had any interest in it. When the school lunch program scandal hit, the local newspaper, the Star Tribune, hardly covered it. Bill Glahn, at our local conservative think tank, American Experiment, did extensive work on it, which the Star Tribune refused to do. They, too, are part of the Democrat fraud complex--the paper's CEO is a former Commissioner of Employment and Economic Development, which explains why the paper is so kind to him. 

The corruption runs deep in this state. 

Walz's deep ties to the antisemitic and anti-American Islamists has little to do with any ideological love of their politics. At least, I hope not. He seems to prefer the Chinese communists to the Islamist terrorists. 

But like any good leftist he is willing to ally with anyone as long as he can reap the benefits. Nazis, Islamists, fraudsters...who cares?

Not Tim Walz. He is in it for the power.
