Ben Stiller's Attempt to Defend Somalis from Trump Backfires as Social Media Users Offer a Suggestion

Hollywood waded into a very real national debate this week, and it did not go the way one actor hoped.

For years, authorities in multiple states have uncovered astounding levels of fraud in welfare, housing, health care, food assistance, COVID relief, and other taxpayer-funded programs.
 
Much of it has involved members of the Somali community.

The numbers are staggering. The fraud has been so pervasive in Tim Walz's Minnesota that even The New York Times -- rarely eager to highlight failures tied to favored demographics -- was forced to acknowledge it.

“Over the last five years, law enforcement officials say, fraud took root in pockets of Minnesota’s Somali diaspora as scores of individuals made small fortunes by setting up companies that billed state agencies for millions of dollars’ worth of social services that were never provided,” the liberal news outlet reported.
 
The paper even acknowledged that the behavior did not materialize out of nowhere.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.

US F/A-18s Hammer Somalia With Record 100 Airstrikes—Over 1,500 ISIS Fighters Wiped Out

In 2025, the U.S. military launched its most intensive bombing campaign in Somalia in nearly two decades. With airstrikes at a pace unseen since 2007, AFRICOM has conducted 100 strikes—an unprecedented figure. This dramatic shift in U.S. operations represents a change in strategy, escalating the fight against ISIS-Somalia and al-Shabaab. The implications for regional stability, civilian casualties, and future operations remain uncertain.

The escalation in military activity marks a significant change from the previous administration's more restrained approach, reflecting evolving strategic priorities.
