Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

All based on a “gotcha” video claiming that 3 daycares had no kids. One hadn’t opened yet for the day; one is actually closed. Dude arrived with no I.D. No call ahead. They DIDN’T LET HIM IN!
The fraud they’re referencing was investigated & prosecuted by the Biden DOJ. The ringleader was white.

This is monstrous. He wants to turn the residents of the state against Walz and against the Somali-American population.
BREAKING
The Trump administration says it has frozen all childcare payments to Minnesota in the aftermath of allegations of fraud by some in the Somali community.
Important: allegations along these lines have existed for years, which has resulted in prosecutions starting with the Biden DOJ.

Since folks still want to argue about the election being “stolen” today, I’m going to point you to some raw data.
53% of white women and 69% of white men voted for Trump in 2024. If you think Dearborn, MI, or a small county in PA, proves something that overcomes whiteness, whew do you need a CTJ.
