Somalis Stage Walkout at Amazon Fulfillment Center in Minnesota

The brief walkout occurred earlier this month in Shakopee, Minnesota, but the news appeared in my alerts today in a story at Workers World.
Workers World is the newspaper of the Communist Party in the US—the Workers World Party—and it’s good to read their spin on things from time to time.
I had a chuckle over the sign the workers held for a facebook picture.

Corporate decision makers dilemma! Shall we put up with workers who walk out and put their fists in the air, or get more robots?

Syrian Sob Stories Help Explain Fraudulent Use of Refugee Status

I’ve only said this about a million times (exaggerating of course!): To be a legitimate refugee one must claim that he or she would be persecuted for one of several reasons if the refugee claimant should return (or be forced to return) to his or her home country.
The wannabe refugee makes that claim and is then processed by the UN which arranges resettlement to a third country!
 

Syrian border crossing
The border between Jordan and Syria is open and ‘refugees’ are popping back and forth!

 
Imagine my surprise to see this news that gives me the rare opportunity to praise the United Nations!

Ahmed (26) followed up by calling the station and saying (among other things) in a lengthy interview,

“I’ve already been convicted in public. They already see me as the guilty Muslim terrorist that needs to be sent back to her country, that doesn’t belong here.”

See what else she told Valley News Live!

Minnesota Rep: We aren't going to make Food Stamp recipients work!

Egads!  What is going on in Minnesota?  It’s not just MN Rep. Ilhan Omar making news, but now we see that Democrat Rep. Collin Peterson—the dean of the Minnesota delegation!—is making news by telling Trump:

“I’ll guarantee you it’s not going to happen.” 

Collin Peterson
Peterson is Chairman of the House Agriculture Committee which means he must have received the Nancy Pelosi stamp of approval!

He is referring to the Trump initiative to tell states they must enforce work requirements for able-bodied adults receiving food stamps!
Peterson’s district is considered the most Republican in the state, but obviously not Republican enough or they wouldn’t have re-elected him to represent them since 2007.
The district has a growing Somali population due to BIG MEAT/POULTRY wanting the cheap refugee labor.
