The left-wing candidate in the Democratic primary for Michigan's open Senate seat, Abdul El-Sayed, compared a move to ban Sharia law in Oklahoma to the Trail of Tears. "You can't understand a Sharia ban without understanding the Trail of Tears," El-Sayed told the Oklahoma chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in October of 2022. "You cannot understand the challenges we face today without understanding white supremacy." El-Sayed, whose remarks have not been previously reported, was commenting on a 2010 Oklahoma ballot measure that prohibited judges from considering Islamic and international law in their rulings. He described the initiative as a part of the "history of racism" in Oklahoma

Abdul El-Sayed The people of Michigan should by reason of sanity only read the name on the ballot in order to vote for someone else. He says he will take on Trump and Musk, but won't oppose Schumer without knowing the alternative. ---That came from Politico. The last thing we need in the senate of the United States is a Muslim. It should be illegal for him to even be a candidate.

Yet, so-called ''journalists'' fail to ask him the obvious question. ''So, you are in favor of imposing Islamic religious laws in the United States?''

Islam is anathema to freedom and a democratic republic. There is a reason Islamic countries are ruled by dictators, monarchs and clerics. Islam means submission to Allah and the submission is controlled by the brutality and inhuman restrictions of sharia law. The goal of Islam is total dominance; It is not a religion and certainly not peaceful.

Islam does not believe in (i) Right of other faiths to exist. (ii) Separation of Church and State as embodied in a modern pluralistic society's laws and governance. It is obvious they have no intention of peacefully co-existing wherever they go. Any publicly organized practice of this system of belief should be summarily banned.

I voted in that election. Sharia Law was voted down big time. Then, two weeks later, I saw a small article in the paper that said some judge had rescinded that vote and reinstated Sharia Law. Then nothing. No one said anything more.

its important to find out where sharia is moving in on yr state. here's the example we received several years ago-to the extent memory serves accurately-: pelosi created a secret compound in northern new mexico for psychopaths to train children to become muslim terrorists for sale. these animals starved raped battered terrorised and murdered the children; they were finally exposed. we were then told: pelosi packed nm with HER lowlife judges; none of the local folk would co-operate. iirc, [maybe not] the baddies actually were released ROR by the pelousy fake-o ''jurist''. she had the whole compound bull-dozed and obliterated. be aware: many texans don't know there are mosques and sharia courts in texas. ...cared for by gov abbot and company. confront all these sneak thieves giving money and land to radical killers. we've all heard seen the reports of dads and brothers killing their sisters for ''honour'' there should be no way ok votes down sharia--only to be re-instated illegally, on the sly, by a wacko judge

The Somali-dominated Democratic political machine in Minnesota successfully silenced hundreds of government experts who tracked the huge flow of taxpayer funds through Somali-run businesses, a top Minnesota Republican told a House hearing on Wednesday. Up to 1,000 government auditors, accountants, and program managers were silenced by Democratic threats, Minnesota House Rep. Marion Rarick told a House hearing: The most severe ones was that they would be fired with cause so they couldn’t have unemployment insurance, that they would be blacklisted from all state agencies… [including] Hennepin County, Ramsey County. As you know, those are Democrat-run. Many government experts, non-government professionals, and Republicans detected many of the frauds, but their voices were muffled

Federal officials have begun investigating the long-ignored shipping of at least $700 million in U.S. cash by Somalis in air travel luggage out of Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport. Witnesses say that the cash was legally flown out to Somalia and other countries and that TSA routinely flagged the money to their superiors. The cash, in bundles of $1 million or more, were packed in passenger luggage and shown to airport security officials by migrants flying back to Somalia-area airports, as well as other African countries and places in the Middle East. Biden’s officials did not try to investigate any of these massive cash transfers during his term in office.

YouTuber Nick Shirley released a video Monday alleging that Minnesota’s medical transport system is riddled with fraud. In December, Shirley posted video showing several purported Somali-run daycare centers in Minnesota — including one that reportedly received $4 million in taxpayer funds — with no children present on site. In a video posted on his channel, Shirley said his yearlong review identified roughly 1,200 medical transportation outfits operating across the state. This was an investigation he conducted together with David, who he says played an important role in helping to expose large-scale fraud in Minnesota. Shirley says David contributed research, documentation, and firsthand insight. “And so to have that many non-emergency medical transportation

A federal jury last month found Dugan guilty on the obstruction charge for the April 18 incident in which the leftist judge escorted Eduardo Flores-Ruiz and his attorney to the “jury door,” allowing the illegal alien to briefly flee from Department of Homeland Security agents.

President Donald Trump has expanded his regulatory curbs on migration to 39 countries, and the new rules could slash the inflow of Islamic migrants by 40 percent, according to the pro-migration Cato Institute. Yet pro-migration advocates have been almost silent about the dramatic new rules, even though they staged frenzied 2017 protests against a “Muslim travel ban” when Trump imposed softer curbs in his first year in office. For example, the National Immigration Law Center issued a mere three-sentence condemnation when the new rules were first announced. The progressive passivity is notable, said Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies. “No question, and [the 2026 rule] is much broader too,”

But Shoffner spent years working as a left-wing activist—and hired a marketing firm to build a "new brand" as "FarmHerHallie," a Washington Free Beacon review found. Shoffner has centered her campaign against Republican incumbent Tom Cotton on her farming background. "My whole life, I've been a rice and soybean farmer," Shoffner said in a November campaign video.

Following an investigation, Byrd was cleared of any wrongdoing, although questions remain about the escalation to lethal force without attempts to subdue or detain Babbitt.

Dramatic video purportedly shows the moment an ICE agent opened fire and killed a 37-year-old woman who attempted to barrel her SUV into the officer’s path in Minneapolis Wednesday morning — as the mayor furiously demanded the agency “get the f–k out” of the city. In the footage being widely circulated on social media from varying angles, ICE officers approach a plum-colored Honda Pilot and order the driver out of the vehicle after she blocked the path of their truck. As one of the agents attempts to open the door, she quickly throws the car into reverse before trying to speed forward in the direction of another agent in her path.

In a private online support group leaked exclusively to the Daily Mail, one service member raged against the double standard, writing: 'You mean your guys can't focus on the mission without trying to stick it in... not my problem.'

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said Monday an American takeover of Greenland would amount to the end of the NATO military alliance. Her comments came in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s renewed call for the strategic, mineral-rich Arctic island to come under U.S. control in the aftermath of the weekend military operation in Venezuela. The dead-of-night operation by U.S. forces in Caracas to capture leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife early Saturday left the world stunned, and heightened concerns in Denmark and Greenland, which is a semiautonomous territory of the Danish kingdom and thus part of NATO.

Goldman, a two-term congressman who officially kicked off his re-election campaign Tuesday, is vulnerable because of his support of Israel, while many primary-voting Dems have turned on the Jewish state over the war in Gaza.
