New legislation from Senator Bill Hagerty (R-TN) would shut down numerous loopholes that allow foreign nationals to sway American politics, according to election integrity experts.  A bill introduced by Hagerty last week would ban foreign nationals from funding ballot initiative proposal campaigns, voter registration activity, ballot collection, voter identification, and other get-out-the-vote activity. Experts with Americans for Public Trust and the Honest Elections Project told The Daily Wire that Hagerty’s bill would provide much-needed guardrails for the American election system.  Both groups for years have warned about a loophole in federal law that allows foreign nationals to fund state-level ballot measure campaigns, which include policy debates on issues from abortion to marijuana. At least nine states have closed the loophole at the state level, but no action has been taken at the federal level.  Caitlin Sutherland, the executive director of Americans for Public Trust, said that the issue of foreigners impacting American politics goes beyond ballot campaigns.  “It doesn’t just stop at ballot issues, but it goes a little bit further because everywhere we look, we see that foreign nationals are bankrolling these advocacy campaigns and policy fights in the United States,” she said. “They can give, and they can influence these whole host of other electoral tools that really matter up to and including on election day, like voter education drives, [get-out-the vote] campaigns, ballot issues.” Recently, Americans for Public Trust put out a report documenting how five foreign charities have given around $2 billion to American climate groups engaged in policy fights, litigation, research, and lobbying. These groups include Quadrature Climate Foundation ($530 million), KR Foundation ($36 million), Oak Foundation ($750 million), Laudes Foundation ($20 million), and Children’s Investment Fund Foundation ($553 million). For example, the British-based Quadrature Climate Foundation gave $147 million to the San Francisco-based Climate Works Foundation, including $6 million “for financial regulation advocacy to address climate risk,” according to the report. The Denmark-based KR Foundation gave almost $400,000 to the Conservation Law Foundation for “expanding climate accountability litigation,” the report found.  Hagerty’s bill would also address the massive amounts of funding pumped by leftist Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss into American politics. Wyss has given $280 million to the SixteenThirty Fund, a leftist dark money fund that has pumped $130 million into ballot election issues.  “Foreign nationals have no business playing any role in American elections and our lawmaking process,” Snead said. “But for years, Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss has bankrolled ballot issue campaigns across the country through his prolific giving to the left-wing Sixteen Thirty Fund. And under current law, nothing prevents individuals from foreign adversaries like China, Russia, or Iran from doing the same thing.”

The Department of Justice launched a “full investigation” into the leftist demonstrations that took place outside of a Turning Point USA event at the University of California, Berkeley, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced on Tuesday. Bondi said that Antifa was behind “violent riots” at UC Berkeley on Monday after leftist agitators showed up at the venue hours before the TPUSA event began on campus, harassing conservative attendees as they lined up for the event. The investigation is being led by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force, which focuses on international and domestic terrorism. “Antifa is an existential threat to our nation. The violent riots at UC Berkeley last night are under full investigation by the FBI-led Joint Terrorism Task Force. We will continue to spare no expense unmasking all who commit and orchestrate acts of political violence,” Bondi wrote in a post on X. “Under President Trump’s leadership, and pursuant to his Executive Order designating Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization, the Department of Justice and our law-enforcement partners are dismantling violent networks that seek to intimidate Americans and suppress their free expression and First Amendment rights.” Two people were arrested after a fistfight broke out between one of the agitators and a man wearing a red Turning Point USA t-shirt. One person was charged with battery, but it’s unclear if the person who was charged was one of the two men who were seen fighting.

Some of the agitators lit flares and shouted at the conservative attendees as they waited to enter the building, and when they left after the TPUSA event ended. The event, which was the last stop on the “This is the Turning Point” tour, went on as planned, capping off a tour that was started by TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk on September 10 at Utah Valley University, when he was assassinated while speaking to college students. The DOJ’s Civil Rights division is also probing the leftist demonstrations at UC Berkeley, according to Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon. “We saw all of this at Berkeley back in 2017. @UCBerkeley was sued, and settled the case. The @CivilRights will investigate what happened here, and I see several issues of serious concern regarding campus and local security and Antifa’s ability to operate with impunity in CA,” Dhillon wrote on X. UC Berkeley, which has long been one of the most liberal universities in the United States, was at the center of violent demonstrations when leftist groups protested right-wing commentator Milo Yiannopoulos’ planned speech in 2017. Dhillon brought some of the legal challenges against the university that same year over the free speech case. “In America, we do not allow citizens to be attacked by violent thugs and shrug and turn our backs,” Dhillon added. “Been there, done that, not on our watch.” President Donald Trump designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization in September, calling it “a militarist, anarchist enterprise that explicitly calls for the overthrow of the United States Government, law enforcement authorities, and our system of law.”

When we talked about the rise of Somali clan warfare in American politics the other day, admittedly, the evidence was mostly anecdotal. There were a few reports and social media posts claiming that thousands of Somalis in Minneapolis had rejected Omar Fateh, the Somali mayoral candidate, because he belonged to the Darood clan. You see, according to these social media posts, many Somalis in Minneapolis are members of the rival Hawiye clan, and they’d rather abstain — or even vote for Jacob Frey, a white guy — rather than betray their clan’s honor and support Omar Fateh. That’s how deep these clan loyalties supposedly go. If all of this is true, it may be the clearest sign yet — among many, many others — that all migration from Somalia needs to be terminated immediately. Additionally, Somalia’s “temporary protected status,” which has shielded Somalis from deportation for decades for no discernible reason whatsoever, must be revoked as well. Whatever your position on immigration policy may be, no reasonable person can seriously suggest that we should import full-on tribal warfare to our streets. But again, it’s critically important to determine whether this story is true — whether it’s accurate to say that foreign blood feuds are indeed influencing elections in this country, causing civil disturbance, and so on. And indeed, just 24 hours later, all doubt has been removed. Ilhan Omar, probably the single most vocal and resentful Somali in all of U.S. politics, has just delivered a speech in which she attacks Somali voters who didn’t support Omar Fateh. Specifically, she calls for Somalis who didn’t support Omar Fateh — including Somalis who rejected him because of his clan affiliation — to be “expelled” from the country. She wants the traitorous Somalis in the Hawiye clan to be forcibly removed from Minneapolis, as quickly as possible. In other words, in a somewhat unexpected turn of events, Somalis are now the foremost advocates for Somali deportation in this country. Ilhan Omar is to the Right of Tom Homan on this one. ICE is saying they want to prioritize the removal of illegal aliens who commit serious crimes. Meanwhile, Ilhan Omar and the “Darood clan” are essentially out here calling for predawn raids at the local Somali preschool, family separations, and everything. They’ll be front row at the next Trump rally, chanting “send them back” in a language that no one can understand. Who said tribal politics can’t be entertaining? Here is a small portion of Omar’s full remarks as reported by Andy Ngo, since Omar is subtitled because she can’t be bothered to speak in English. Watch: Congresswoman Ilhan Omar lectured and lashed out at Somali American voters who didn’t support Omar Fateh in the Minneapolis mayoral election. Some analysts believe inter-tribal disputes among Somalis divided the vote. pic.twitter.com/YkNFUz1VdG — Andy Ngo (@MrAndyNgo) November 10, 2025 Credit: @MrAndyNgo/X.com Later on in this footage, according to the translation, Ilhan Omar attacks Somalis who translate her speeches into English. She claims those Somalis are misrepresenting her words and trying to get her in trouble (or even arrested). Or at least, I think that’s what Ilhan Omar is saying, based on the translation that was done by translators she’s attacking. For all I know, the translators are messing with her, in a very meta way. That said, Omar has challenged these kinds of translations in the past, with little success. As you might remember, about two years ago, there was a dispute about what Ilhan Omar said during one of these speeches — specifically, there was a dispute about whether she really said that she wants to use her position in Congress to advance Somalia’s interests. Omar disputed the translation that was making the rounds online. In response, The Daily Wire commissioned a professional, independent translation of Omar’s remarks and found that the online translation was mostly accurate. So we’ll assume — especially since Omar’s team hasn’t pushed back on this latest video in any way — that the remarks above are mostly accurate as well. That would mean that, indeed, all of the TikToks and social media posts coming from Somalis in Minneapolis are accurate. Somalis are at each other’s throats because of clan warfare, to the point that they’re influencing elections in this country, as many of these posts are saying. Here are just a few examples where various Somalis reference qabiil, or inter tribal conflict, playing a key role in the race.

(@DrewPavlou) November 7, 2025 Credit: @DrewPavlou/X.com Tribal differences are such a major part of life in Minnesota that the state’s Department of Health has published guidance on the topic: “Clans are a very sensitive topic for many Somalis. Enduring tension between rival clans has been a major factor in the ongoing conflict in Somalia. Clinicians should avoid discussing clans with Somali patients as many may find it disrespectful or offensive.” So if you’re a doctor, it’s apparently dangerous to even broach the topic of a Somali’s clan identity. You might get roughed up, I guess. That’s how important these affiliations are to these people. To be clear, it’s not just last Tuesday’s vote in Minneapolis that was influenced — and probably decided by — these various clan differences among Somalis. This phenomenon is far more widespread than that. In fact, Somalis have brought their tribal disputes all the way to Maine, where less than 10,000 Somalis reportedly live. This is an analysis from Steve Robinson, an editor of the Maine Wire, one of the top news outlets in the entire state: A Somali source in Maine offers this explainer on the clan dynamics unfolding in Maine/U.S. politics:  The Darood clan dominates Somali political representation in Maine but by population, other clans have massive presence but for some reasons the Darood LOVE power. People including figures like Ilhan Omar, Deqa Dhalac, Yusuf Yusuf, Omar Fateh, Safiya Khalid, Abdullahi Ali are from the same sub-clans of Darood (Ogaden and Majeeteen). In Somalia, however, the Darood are just one of the four major clans—alongside Hawiye, Rahanweyn, and Dir—without overall dominance. Before we continue with Steve Robinson’s post, it probably goes without saying that, from the perspective of actual Americans, none of these geographical differences or clan affiliations really matter. All of these people need to go back to Somalia, without exception. The Somali legislators in Maine sound exactly like the Somali legislators in Minnesota. They’re all talking about the importance of representing Somalia, and not America. Watch: Maine State Rep says her priority is Somalia.pic.twitter.com/Q44BbwQ7FC — (news) DOGE (@DOGE__news) June 19, 2025 Credit: @DOGE_news/X.com When Americans see clips like this, we don’t exactly think of the “Hawiye” or the “Darood clan” (which, as far as I know, is completely unrelated to the song “Sandstorm.”). We just think of Somalis, and we want them out of the country. And that’s the appropriate response. But as Steve Robinson reports, there’s a lot more going on under the hood: Somali immigrants from these other clans, particularly in Minnesota’s large diaspora, have grown resentful of Darood’s rising influence in U.S. politics. For instance, when Nasri Warsame (non-Darood) ran for office in Minneapolis back in 2021, Darood-aligned groups reportedly blocked him and supported an Indian-born woman instead, preferring a non-Somali over someone from a rival clan.  This intra-clan rivalry has led Hawiye, Rahanweyn, and Dir members—including those from Somaliland (which flies its own flag and seeks independence from Somalia)—to back non-Somali candidates. They supported Jewish incumbent Jacob Frey for mayor over a Somali opponent from a different clan, prioritizing clan loyalty over ethnic or religious solidarity. Not that I doubt Steve Robinson’s reporting in any way, but I wanted to look into the case of “Nasri Warsame” to see the details of how a “non-Darood” politician might be shut out by “Darood-aligned groups.” Just out of a morbid sense of curiosity, I wanted to get a sense of what happened here. And I came across this video, which again, is subtitled. This is former Minneapolis City Council candidate Nasri Warsame’s version of events. Watch: ? Former Somalian Minneapolis City Council candidate Nasri Warsame explains how Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and her clansmen blocked him from ever seeking the DFL endorsement because of clan rivalry. Instead, they supported an ethnically Pakistani woman Aisha Chughtai. “They… pic.twitter.com/qaZDHywQvg — ✨ CheckMate ✨Bilicsan ?? (@Checkmatedsl) November 9, 2025 Credit: @Checkmatesl/X.com Nasri Warsame — the “non-Darood” — is explaining how Ilhan Omar and her clan blocked him from ever getting the Democrat Party’s endorsement. Instead of backing Warsame, the Democrats backed an ethnically Pakistani woman named Aisha Chughtai: “They shouldn’t be teaming up to block me from ever getting the party’s endorsement, simply because I come from Mogadishu,” says Warsame. And apparently, people from Mogadishu belong to a separate clan from the Darood, known as the Hawiye. The official story is that the state Democratic Party (known as the DFL) blocked Warsame because of an altercation at a political convention, and not because of his clan identity. This is from the local Fox affiliate back in 2023: The DFL’s executive committee voted to approve bylaws banning Warsame on Tuesday, after the organization conducted an investigation into the chaos of the Ward 10 convention that concluded Warsame’s campaign was responsible for the conflicts that emerged after his supporters rushed toward the stage when incumbent Aisha Chughtai was about to speak. Here’s what that confrontation looked like: Credit: Wedge LIVE/YouTube.com You can debate whether this altercation is worth banning a candidate from participating in a political party that’s supposedly committed to democracy. But at a minimum, based on this footage, it’s plausible that Warsame has a point. It looks a lot like his supporters feel they were being robbed and mistreated, and that he was taken out in a backroom deal. Certainly, there are Somali news outlets that seem to think these backroom deals are becoming more and more common. This is a report from “Waagacusub Media,” which is obviously a name you can trust: Members of the Hawiye community, who form a significant portion of the Somali population in Minneapolis — originally from Mogadishu, Galmudug, Hirshabelle, South West, and Jubbaland regions — have been emboldened by Jacob Frey’s win and are now vowing to reshape future elections, including the next Congressional race involving Ilhan Omar. Of course, that would be the best possible outcome here, short of mass deportation. Imagine if Somalis are responsible for ousting Ilhan Omar from Congress. How exactly would they spin that outcome on MSNBC or MS NOW or whatever it’s called? And how would Ilhan Omar respond in that scenario? What exactly would the meltdown look like? Courtesy of Ilhan Omar herself, we actually don’t need to guess the answer to that question. Watch: Ilhan Omar said she doesn’t mind being deported. “I’m grown; I can live wherever.” pic.twitter.com/rTWrg9B9xJ — Breaking911 (@Breaking911) November 9, 2025 Credit: @Breaking911/X.com Apparently, she doesn’t mind the idea of being deported in the slightest. She certainly wouldn’t miss anything about this country, which she openly despises. So there’s a real win-win possibility here. All that’s needed is for the Trump administration — or the Somali community, as the case may be — to step up to the plate. And then, once Ilhan Omar is gone, we’d need a lot more deportations all over the country. Somali tribal conflicts aren’t just spilling out into the open in Minnesota and Maine. There’s also a very large Somali presence in Ohio. In fact, the Somali population in Columbus is the second-largest in the entire country. The clans in Columbus include the Darood clan, which is the majority, as well as the Hawiye, the Dir, and so on. So the demographic makeup is a lot like Minneapolis. The same is true in the Seattle Metro area, where tens of thousands of Somalis live. As all of these populations grow, the tribal tensions are going to become more pronounced and more violent. More and more candidates will be elected (or sabotaged) on the basis of their clan, just like we’re seeing in Minneapolis. That’s inevitable. And in return, as Americans, we receive absolutely nothing. For incubating all of this tribal warfare, we’ll be defrauded, humiliated, and discarded the moment we’re not useful to these people. They will either destroy each other, or they’ll destroy us first — there’s no other possible outcome if we allow this to continue. So we shouldn’t allow it to continue. Revoke Somalia’s temporary protected status, which never should have been granted in the first place. We gave the designation to Somalia in the early 1990s because of the collapse of the failed authoritarian regime that Ilhan Omar’s father worked for, and we’ve kept renewing it ever since. That needs to end, and the deportations need to begin. We need to stop pretending that we’re responsible for housing foreigners because they can’t manage their own countries. If we don’t — if we allow this favorable treatment to continue — then we’re all going to get a very detailed, clan-by-clan, up-close-and-personal history lesson as to why exactly countries like Somalia have torn themselves apart. And by that point, once we’ve all learned the lesson, we’ll be left with nothing. And the Somalis — including Ilhan Omar — will have happily moved onto the next country that they will strip-mine, denigrate, and ultimately destroy.

If you are a Taco Bell kind of person, then you’ve likely washed down your meal with a Mountain Dew Baja Blast. The flavor was exclusive to Taco Bell for years and became synonymous with the fast-food chain.
