_WHAT’S HAPPENING_

Minnesota State Senator Omar Fateh, a democratic socialist, clinched the official endorsement of the state’s Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) Party in the race for Minneapolis mayor.

The endorsement, announced Saturday night, followed a chaotic party convention where Fateh won over 60 percent of delegate support, defeating incumbent Democrat Mayor Jacob Frey.

_THE FACTS_

  • The DFL endorsement came after a chaotic convention where Frey supporters walked out in protest, leaving mostly Fateh supporters left for the vote.

  • This endorsement is important because it provides progressive credibility and exclusive access to the party’s voter database.

  • Frey’s campaign has vowed to appeal the decision, citing problems with the voting process during the convention.

  • Frey’s tenure included the 2020 BLM riots following George Floyd's death; the riots cost the city approximately $55 million in damages.

  • Fateh, born in Washington, DC to Somali immigrants, won his state Senate seat in 2020.

  • His platform includes rent stabilization to take on “price gouging” and diverting resources away from law enforcement to “non-police responders.”

  • Fateh has vowed to prohibit Minneapolis police from cooperating with ICE under any circumstances.

  • A video from 2023 shows Fateh suggesting his GOP colleagues were akin to white supremacists who represent the nation’s "greatest domestic threat."

  • However, Jacob Frey previously won the general elections in 2017 and 2021 without the DFL’s endorsement.

Thank your local Marxist indoctrination system (K-12) for brainwashing their useful idiots that Socialism CAN Work! They'll get Exactly what they vote for, while those who can will leave en masse.

The complete failure of our K-12 and beyond education system was the first thing that came to my mind also. We can thank the teachers unions and parental apathy for this abysmal state of affairs.

With a mass exodus, maybe we would see Minneapolis go the way of Los Angeles or Oakland. What a mess.

It's a liberal city where they teach that Stalin and Lenin were good men. They never show them how their country turned out. If we don't stop this, we will be next...

Just so! The NEA accomplishes its goal, and the voters reap the disaster the NEA sowed.

Radical Islamists are attempting to take over our country and it’s infuriating. The message from our administration should be loud and clear: YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE

It’s sad to learn that first generation children of immigrants want the USA to become like the 3rd world countries that their parents escaped from. I’m old enough to remember the before immigration from countries such as Somalia to the after immigration from countries such as Somalia. The before USA was much safer than the USA we live in today.

I respectfully disagree with your conclusion where you say Mamdani has "a far greater likelihood to become mayor than Fateh." Mamdani has to convince a major of voters that do not share virtually anything with him except maybe his socialism ideas. Fateh is a Somali candidate in a Somali city that desperately wants one of their own.

The city's massive Somali population (up to 50,000) could certainly help push Fateh over the edge - but the incumbent mayor has so far won 2 elections. We'll see!

I think both Mamdani and Fateh would not be anywhere without funding from radical Islamic groups. And those groups are watching how this works out. It will not be favorable for America.

I make of it that Democrats have fully removed their masks and exposed themselves for the Marxist Leftists that they are. Given that Socialism has literally failed everywhere it has been tried, it is clear that Democrat voters have learned nothing from history.

I don't mind so much "Socialists" as MUSLIMS!!! Muslims came to the West OPENLY proclaiming that they are coming to conquest it. And I keep seeing more and more muslims everywhere. We should NOT ALLOW THEM IN!!! They mean to exterminate us! They say it openly and they mean it. And no one, absolutely no one is going to make them change their minds. Because it is allah's mandate and they intend to do it.

Is the how the no-go zones in France started? The Somali in congress is a real piece of work, and works against America by her own words.

I think any candidate that agrees with socialism or communism should be automatically disqualified. This country is not about that and anyone going against our values instead of enhancing our values is not fit to run anything in our government. C'mon people !!! We are not going to turn into these other failing countries.

It is apparent that over the last few years these men have been inserted into the Federal government and local governments with little fanfare. This is just like the WOKE doctrine and one day it was just there. I believe this is a planned voter execution that probably started in the Obama era just as the struggle between color raised it's ugly head.

Gad Saad documented this happening to Canada. It's happening here. Suicidal empathy will be the downfall of the West if we don't purge illegal immigrants, who are voting in these kinds of far-left candidates. Their values are incompatible with the West and the U.S. and they should not be serving in U.S. government.

It needs to be said... They also hate capitalism and white people and keep calling any opposition "white supremacy." This is a lever... they simply want to take what we have, we we've built in the West and the U.S. ... We are voting ourselves into oblivion. People need to wake the F up before our entire country looks like the trash-ridden, backwards third world countries these candidates come from.

The worse thing is to see AMERICANS voting for these people! Don't they know what their intent is????? Too many Americans are completely ignorant of what a muslim man is and what he intends to do to the West....as demanded by their god.

I'm not buying it for a second and all I see from the likes of Fateh and Mamdani are two radical Islamist's who the D.S. is trying to present as "popular" so they can install them in another rigged election outcome. We've seen this movie and how it played out in 2020. So the question is when are we going to make it clear to all Americans that these types of parasite candidates have no place in our elections let alone in our country in general. To be honest, I think the mass populace would agree. This is how infiltration from within happened and continues to happen. We need to have a zero tolerance policy on the types of individuals allowed to run let alone hold office. In short (Socialists, Commies and Marxist's) need not apply. We need to stop playing nice with individuals and groups who want nothing more than to turn the US into a banana republic 3rd World shit show. It's time to bring down and destroy the "fundamental" change Obama initiated in this country when installed..

This is like a virus going through our country. Once a communist is in you can’t get them out. In Washington the state we have all mail in voting and now we have everything Democrat and we are communist. Amazon left, Blowing left, except a couple of plants. Google and Microsoft are laying off. Many people are moving out of state including soon to be me.

If these leftist socialist get elected, that is start of a downward spiral. The left media is all for this. Wake up people. I lived in a Muslim country in the 90’s. Trust me Americans don’t want to follow Muslims.
