It ranks highest in the state in things like poverty, and lack of education. It is a puppy mill of minorities.

Here are the actual demographics; Note Minnesota comprises eight districts:
Minnesota 5th District

If you were to explore the business district during business hours, you would never expect those numbers. After hours, though, the workers retreat to their remote suburbs, and the natives rush back in.

I've talked to a couple of different vets that were in that fire fight. They said they would have been happy to have not shot so many Somalis that day. But the Somalis wouldn't stop shooting at them so they shot back...

For those who don't understand what you've just said, it's called Defending Yourself.


We are told not to judge all Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but are told to judge all gunowners by the actions of a few.

Don't forget about the Somalis in MN that also left the US and went back to fight for their terrorist organizations and then came back and forth to/from the US several times.......not much about that in the news today. But, just look it up - it was documented multiple times. We soon forget......

I wonder how Rep Omar and her constituents would react if someone were to publicly insult the "prophet" Mohammed the way she insulted the person of Jesus Christ. Somehow I don't think they would be so kind in their respect for another's right to freedom of speech.

I don't suggest that gives anyone an excuse to suppress their right to free speech. But we certainly have just cause to be offended, disgusted, and insulted by her and her comments.

Rep. Andre Carson of Indiana is another Muslim in congress. I used to live in his district until I moved out of Indiancrapolis. He announced that he had converted to Islam about two months AFTER he was elected to Congress. He doesn't have as much of a big fat mouth like this Omar does. But they are birds of a feather, that's for sure.


What from Christ that soul can sever,
Bound by everlasting bands?
None shall take thee
From the Strength of Israel's hands.

"Never surrender" book by Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin is another good book on that fire fight. He was the leader of Delta then(he was actually one if the first Delta operators)

Remember when Hillary said the attack on Benghazi was retaliation for insulting and demeaning the prophet Mohammed? Later was learned that it had nothing to do with that. But, she considered that as justification at the time. Where are these people when a fool like Omar insults Jesus Christ? Hear that? It's the sound of silence...……..

1,000s of Somalis killed by Americans that day ??

That's a new one on me, since all the MH-60K SOA Blackhawks were all built/prepped and flown out of the same assembly line/hangar where I was assigned to the H-53E program.

One night, we had about a dozen, dozen and a half L model Blackhawks, maybe some A's too... anyhow they were flown in around 2200 hrs and had the blades pulled [main and I believe tail...] for the sake of having erosion protection applied on the leading edges of the blades, also armor floors were installed.

I remember looking at the personal, young men and yes, a couple of women too... and everyone had a very serious expression.
Once they all left when the work they came in for was completed, I found an ARMY cap with a Sargent emblem - actually - a pin - mounted on the front dead center.

I kept it, and to this day I always wondered if that individual made it back alive... as there was no name in it.

And that's my point: these (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) politicians should be forced to see what our troops have to endure during these kinds of conflicts and also their kids should have to serve as well.

If anyone is interested, here is the ARMY database for all aviation incidents which costed someone's life.
I have it set to the BLACKHAWK and if you scroll down, you'll find the SOA 60K's that were shot down in Somilia

http://armyaircrews.com/blackhawk.html

*of interest, tail number #13-20624 which went down in Florida on 10 MAR 15 was my aircraft once I became an inspector, and I gained 25 lbs while agonizing over the pictures of the lost personal on board, praying to God that I did not miss something - as that was a new aircraft when it crashed - and it turned out to be weather conditions which brought that particular aircraft down.

Speaking of which, off to the plant I go now.....

But that data base is really good - all kinds of info there - on all kinds of Army aircraft, going all the way back past Vietnam.....

I'd be real concerned about her security clearances, due to which committees she would be part of.

Throngs of central American immigrants are going to be a much bigger problem.

Omar is definitely Un-American. So are a few ideas on here.
