Will No One Think of the Somalis Getting Free Food?

By

Maybe Ilhan Omar can help.

You know whom this government shutdown has hit hardest? Somalis. Like ‘refugees’ in Arizona.

Beginning November 1, refugees in Arizona will no longer be eligible for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly known as food stamps.

Once the application is submitted, it takes an average of 12.5 months to receive the card, according to Meheria Habibi, the deputy director of programs at Tucson’s International Rescue Committee.

She spoke at last Tuesday’s Pima County Board of Supervisors meeting, where her client Sumaya Ahmed, who is from Somalia, addressed the board.

“SNAP made sure there was food on our table when we were learning how to navigate life in here. It gave us the ability and dignity. It allowed us to focus on getting jobs and going to school and building new lives here,” Ahmed said.

By SNAP, Ahmed means American taxpayers. It’s not just Arizona. Life is hard in Somalia without as much American free stuff.

Real risk of famine in Somalia due to aid cuts: ‘We don’t know where support will come from’

Maybe Rep. Ilhan Omar? Her current net worth is looking pretty good. Maybe Somalia’s first daughter can bail it out.

Omar reported in her latest financial disclosure that she and her husband, former political consultant Tim Mynett, accumulated a net worth at the end of 2024 ranging from at least $6 million to $30 million.

$30 million ought to buy quite a few hamburgers. But of course that defeats the whole purpose of looting us.

  1. That’s one bright spot about the government shutdown. Although I thought USAID going away took care of all that money to Somalia. Also, what are Somalian refugees doing in Arizona – is Somalia full? Anyway, since we are in deportation mode, deport all the Somalians if not there, to countries like Yemen right next door. Where they can feel at home

    On the government shutdown, aside from the military and law enforcement, it’s an opportunity not only to terminate non-essential workers, but also privatize programs we think of as essential, such as SNAP or TSA. Let TSA be an autonomous body funded by local governments in their cities/countries, or even state, rather than the Feds. Same thing for SNAP: let state/local governments determine what level of support they wanna give to residents in their neighborhoods

    • I read that Virginia is going to help those living there without the snap aid….those who have been receiving. it.

      • As per the Tenth Amendment, that’s exactly how it should be. Let Minnesota or Arizona handle these, rather than Uncle Sam

      • Are you happy with allowing a local organization like a mechanics shop to handle how safe your plane is at 30,000 feet ? TSA is national security. Maybe we should have police as private companies. During a national emergency won’t that be fun coordinating all these different groups? Do you have children? Think of them when you break down national security into pieces at 30,000 feet.

      • shosh

        How do you think the Internet runs? Is there a government agency managing all the telecom gear and central offices throughout the country? It’s done by various companies, using standards that have been meticulously developed over the decades by Special Interest Groups, as well as IEEE, IETF, ICANN/IANA and so on. Granted, some of them were birthed at DARPA/DoD, but their evolution and maintenance have been w/ autonomous entities

        Same thing can happen here. Cities/Counties can own the airports, but all the operations can be done by other entities, just like FedEx and UPS manage their operations. Airlines can contract their security, passport control and other outsourcable operations to other companies whose main job it would be to do just that

        My point: if the federal government is at the mercy of 40+ senators shutting it down, then it should have fewer, rather than more responsibilities

  2. There has been a lot of stuff on the web about the *reason* for the shutdown. The reason given: the dems want to give medical insurance to illegals. They deny it, of course.

    Illegals….from somalia or otherwise…whine and complain, and yet, if they were still in somalia, they wouldn’t be getting snap or free healthcare or housing assistance.

    Take a poll and how many *real* American citizens would say they willingly give money so somalians, afghans, gazans, etc. can be here, living on welfare?

    • I think the Tuesday results will give the Dems their answer on whether or not to continue w/ the shutdown. If they get a drubbing in Virginia and New Jersey, they may fold

      Other than that, I do think that the GOP should do one of 2 things:
      ⮞ Abolish all the non-essential programs and send them down to the states, who can then decide whether or not to keep them
      ⮞ Pull the “nuclear option”, shut down the filibuster and simply declare that 51 votes is all that’s needed to keep the government open. I do doubt that they have the votes for that, given Collins, Murkowski, McConnell and Graham

      Try doing the first before the latter

      • Infidel,

        Regarding the filibuster:

        As I understand it, the Senate’s filibuster rule enables 41 out of 100 senators to block any bill from coming up for a debate or vote, giving the current Democrat minority party veto power over legislation.

        Interestingly, Democrats who sought to weaken the filibuster when Joe Biden was the pretend president, are using it for leverage in their shutdown fight.

        Democrats have blocked a stopgap spending bill the bill more than a dozen times, saying they won’t provide the votes to reopen until Republicans negotiate a deal to extend enhanced health-insurance subsidies.

        Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R., Ala.) has an interesting idea, saying that he would be open to lowering the threshold from 60 to 55.

        Other Republican ideas include forcing senators to revive “talking filibusters” or making spending bills immune to filibustering.

        Obviously, something needs to be done. At the very least, spending bills for “essential” government services, i.e. Homeland Security, military, air traffic controllers, SNAP benefits, etc., need to be immune to filibustering. And perhaps Sen. Turberville’s idea of lowering the threshold may be a good compromise. But I’m not sure that I would totally get rid of the filibuster as, at some point, this “shoe will be on the other foot” with Democrats in control (ouch!).

      • James

        That’s a good idea from Tommy Tuberville – reducing the threshold from 60 to 55. After all, we’re talking about budgets here, not a constitutional amendment

  3. Somalis. Cant take care of themselves without assistance back home. Cant take care of themselves without assistance here. I see a pattern in this.

  4. We can thank Bill and Hillary Clinton (the couple from hell) for Somalis in Minnesota. We can also give a shout out to George W Bush and Barry Hussein. All four have been a menace to the USA.

    • I believe the thanks can go to George HW Bush and Bill Clinton, before we go to George W Bush and Barry Hussein

      • 1992 was the beginning. The end of HWs presidency. George was busy with Saddam and Iraq (the first time). And Panama (1979). It only took ten years for us to have to invade Panama (1989) after Carter gave it away. Do-overs and fixing bad decisions are all DC is capable of doing. It is like Deja Vu all over again (Yogi Berra).

  7. The establishment has acknowledged white male superiority by denying us any type of assistance throughout our lives. Yes, they did that.

  8. Wer eine Vollversorgung haben will, sollte nach Hause gehen.
    Die illegale Masseneinwanderung in Deutschland findet fast zu 100 % in die Sozialsysteme statt.
    Das heißt, kostenlose Unterkunft, kostenlose Krankenversicherung, Kindergeld, Bürgergeld, Übernahme der Kosten für Heizung und Energie, kostenlose Beförderung mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln und diverse Steuerbefreiungen für den ÖRF. Wer kann solch ein Angebot schon ablehnen?
    Bei euch sind es die Somalier, die sich auf Kosten der Einheimischen durchschmarotzen. Bei uns sind es die Syrer, Afghanen, Iraker und Afrikaner, die unser Land mit Kriminalität, Vandalismus, Massenvergewaltigungen und Messerstechereien bereichern.

    • In a sane world, her job would have been Somalian ambassador to America

  10. WHERE do you suppose Ilhan Omar’s estimated $30,000,000.00 Net Worth since coming to America should go???

  11. Somalians getting free food should only come after all American citizens get theirs.
