Have the Somalis got a sponsor do you figure or is all of their own making?

I dunno. I moved out of Minnesota years ago.

I had somebody, MAGA I believe, dissing me on X because I did not take their gospel that someone in the States, American, was training Somalians for this. They called me retarded as an opening line on both their tweets.

This article is about the long tradition of crime and corruption in Minneapolis and Saint Paul and the cover-up of that history. I suggest reading the books I referenced in the article especially Marda Liggett Woodbury’s book, “Stopping the Presses” if you want to understand the role of political parties in corruption there.

I was a little surprised by your article. I shall try and track down that book.

WOW! What an interesting post! With all the news of the corruption in that state with the Somali situation, it underlines the corruption that has always been a part of American politics and culture. Keep up the good work!
