Conquered Faribault, Minnesota Shows the Way to America’s Fundamentally Transformed Future

Just recently, Faribault, Minnesota [pop. 23,352] was a nice place. But crime rates have been rocketing upward as the town becomes unrecognizable. Daniel Greenfield investigates its transformation:

In 1990, it was even 98% white. Or as the Minnesota Post described it, with a shudder, “an almost entirely homogeneous white community, not much different from many towns across Minnesota.” But Faribault was an hour away from Minneapolis at a time when it was being overtaken by Somali mass migration, and it had a meat processing plant, now partly shut down, which is always a draw for illegal aliens and migrants.

By now Somali colonists have discovered more lucrative pursuits than taking low-level jobs from Americans.

Faribault was the epicenter of a $2.6 million Somali Medicaid ride fraud scam in which 8 Somalis, two of them named Mohammed, stole hundreds of names to bill taxpayers for rides, interpreters and acupuncture services that never happened.

It was also part of the $250 million Somali meal scam that first broke open Somali fraud.

Somali fraud in Minnesota has likely cost taxpayers more than $9 BILLION.

The fraud also penetrated the Faribault public school system as investigators are also trying to figure out where $1 million in grant money to stop Somali drug abuse solicited by Lul Bashir Ali, initially identified only as a Somali mother, went.

Whites are down to 65% of the population and sinking fast.

By 2018, minority students made up a majority of the school system. Today, 60% of the school district is minority and only 36% white.

Not only whites are becoming minoritized in their own country but Americans in general.

The Faribault School Board has recently been debating teaching science, health and social studies in Somali. As of 2022, there were over 900 Faribault students who didn’t speak English.

Somalis have complained about the possibility of their offspring becoming “English-dominant” so that “parents and children no longer shared a common language, weakening communication and cultural connections within families.”

Yet again we see that as a rule, Somalis lack even the willingness to assimilate. That’s why Democrats import them.

Faribault might as well teach the students in Somali because state test proficiency scores showed that math proficiency was at 13.7%, science was at 16.1% and reading was at 29.8%. Test scores, graduation rates, attendance and every possible metric are below state standards.

Faribault represents new standards that are fully compliant with the liberal agenda.

Faribault school statistics show that students for whom English is their native language perform over three times better on math, science and more than twice as well on reading. Students who aren’t on welfare perform four times as well on math and science.

Welfare dependence among Somali colonists is stratospheric.

“Faribault has become our city,” a Somali interviewed by the Minnesota Post bragged.

The objective is to multiply Faribault times every town in America. Then Democrats won’t even have to cheat to win every election. That’s why they demonize ICE.

Moonbats Running Providence Shut Down Iryna Zarutska Tribute

Iryna Zarutska was from Ukraine, but she came to personify innocent Americans who are killed for being Caucasian by violent sociopaths unleased at our throats by the liberal establishment — which won’t even allow us to commemorate our dead.

Via Fox News:

The mayor of Rhode Island’s capital city is calling for a mural reportedly backed by Elon Musk to honor Iryna Zarutska —the Ukrainian woman whose brutal murder while riding a North Carolina train prompted calls for harsher punishment for career criminals — to be taken down.

Artist Ian Gaudreau said he did not intend the tribute to be political. But moonbattery is a totalitarian ideology; all things must either advance it or be suppressed.

Providence Mayor Brett Smiley squeaks that “the misguided, isolating intent of those funding murals like this across the country is divisive and does not represent Providence.”

Smiley is getting his way. Via WJAR:

The owners of The Dark Lady, the downtown gay club where the mural is located, released a statement to the community apologizing for the controversy:

“We are deeply and sincerely sorry for everything that has taken place over the past week. After reflecting and learning, we have made the decision to discontinue this project and will move forward with removal as soon as possible. We remain committed to fostering unity, safety, and care for all members of our community, and we will continue to listen, learn, and act with those values at the forefront.”

More from WJAR:

If they succeed in vaporizing Iryna Zaruska, all the more innocent victims will share her fate.

In contrast, they want us to remember a career criminal who died of a fentanyl overdose while resisting arrest. The city even painted a noisy and deliberately divisive Black Lives Matter mural on Washington Street:

Moonbats Demand Easter Potatoes Instead of Eggs

It is not enough to purge Easter of Jesus, negating the purpose of the holiday. Being traditional, even Easter eggs will be eradicated if moonbats prevail.

The New York Post reports:

In a letter to First Lady Melania Trump, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) proposed rebranding the annual White House Easter Egg Roll — which dates back to 1878 — into a “Make America Great Easter Potato Roll,” complete with dyed spuds, sack races and “hot potato” games.

They left the “Again” out of MAGA, possibly because they agree with Andrew Cuomo that America was never that great. Maybe it will be one day, if it completely succumbs to moonbattery. Easter potatoes would be a step in that direction.

Scolds PETA’s Ingrid Newkirk:

“Easter fun doesn’t have to come at a hen’s expense.”

In Liberal Land, an unborn baby is just a clot of cells to be disposed of. But every egg laid by a chicken must be allowed to hatch, or a crime has been committed against the hen.

In a separate letter, Elisa Allen, PETA’s vice president of programs in the UK, claimed potato-rolling would “reduce animal suffering, teach children empathy and kindness, help the planet and support British potato farmers.”

Allen went on to claim that chickens are “inquisitive, intelligent individuals who form complex social bonds.”

Whether there are any intelligent individuals in PETA is another question.

Obama Judge Rules It Is Unconstitutional Not to Coercively Fund Leftist Propaganda Platforms

The liberal activists Obama and Biden appointed as judges need not have bothered obtaining their law degrees. They can apply a simple test to determine constitutionality. Does it impede leftism? If so, it is unconstitutional.

Americans have been enraged for years about being forced — ultimately at gunpoint — to fund the corrosive propaganda excreted by PBS and NPR. Under Trump, coercive financing of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting finally stopped — until moonbats restore it.

Via Zeale:

A federal judge on March 31 permanently blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order directing all federal agencies to cut funding to NPR and PBS, ruling the order violated the First Amendment.

The logic that free people are not forced to buy a megaphone for their enemies is turned on its head. PBS and NPR can help themselves to our money not despite being biased, but explicitly because they are biased in a way that our elected representatives do not like:

U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia wrote that the President’s order amounted to unlawful viewpoint discrimination – the government using its financial power to punish speech it disagrees with.

By the same logic, we should be forced to pay for propaganda platforms to promote the ideology of the regime in Iran.

Moss was appointed by Obama, who inflicted damage on this country that will continue to fold for years to come.

So much for liberals defending Our Democracy. Trump won the Electoral College, every swing state, and the popular vote. But he has been overruled:

Trump signed Executive Order 14290, titled “Ending Taxpayer Subsidization of Biased Media,” on May 1, 2025, directing agencies to “cut off any and all funding” to both broadcasters.

Congress has been overruled too:

Separate from the executive order, Congress passed the Rescissions Act of 2025 in July 2025, clawing back $1.1 billion in public broadcasting funding through fiscal year 2027.

It doesn’t matter who we vote for or what the Constitution says if liberals control the courts.

MAID Offered as First-Line Treatment for Back Pain

Great news. Canada’s socialist healthcare system has found a cure for backpain. It’s permanent.

The New York Post reports:

Miriam Lancaster visited an emergency room in Vancouver in April 2025 [in] Canada after waking up with serious back pain…

That’s when a doctor offered Lancaster Medical Assistance in Dying, the country’s voluntary euthanasia program, before any other treatment.

Good thing she didn’t let herself be pressured into it:

Lancaster said she was a month in the hospital, came home and “recuperated nicely enough that I could take some trips … just recently, I was in Mexico and Guatemala.”

Medical Assistance in Dying has been offered as a cure for poverty, mental illness, and needing a wheelchair lift. To this list we can now add backpain.

Wall Street Begins to Vacate New York

What they did to our formerly wealthiest city Detroit, moonbats are now inflicting on New York. The death of Wall Street is already underway.

The New York Post reports:

Apollo Global Management, a $900 billion asset manager, is plotting a second US headquarters in the Sunbelt…

Apollo expects most of its future hiring to be in the second hub rather than Manhattan, according to a statement from the firm.

The new location will probably be in either Texas or Florida.

Florida has already lured heavyweights like Citadel and Elliott Management, while Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan are hunkering down in Texas.

Here’s why Apollo is ready to move on:

[Mamdani] has pushed Gov. Kathy Hochul and state lawmakers to increase the corporate tax and hike taxes on rich — and he’s even threatened to up the city property taxes 9.5% if the state doesn’t act.

Mamdani’s “warmth of collectivism” will be cold comfort to those left behind in New York when there is no wealth left to confiscate.

On the positive side, Manhattan real estate will become more affordable. You can buy a house for $50 in some parts of Detroit.
