On July 4, 2026, the 250th birthday of the United States of America, Nadia Mohamed, the Somalian mayor of St. Louis Park, Minnesota, instead of showing a single bit of gratitude to the American nation for welcoming her to the U.S. and electing her to public office, instead chose to spend Independence Day in the palace of the Somalian president.
Who is Nadia Mohamed?
Nadia Mohamed was born in Somalia in 1996 and emigrated to the United States of America at the age of ten, settling in St. Louis Park and becoming a training manager for Minnesota social workers. In 2019, Mohamed was elected to the St. Louis Park city council, becoming mayor in 2023. She almost immediately began a program of radical DEI, community inclusion, and immigrant support; her list of public service works emphasizes these diversity initiatives. It’s clear Mohamed was elected due to the rising Somali population in St. Louis Park, a town that has gone from 88.91 percent white in the 2000 census to just 77.13 percent as of 2020.
A Slap in the Face to the American Nation
It can be said that despite America currently (and unfortunately) being a very diverse country, it was overwhelmingly whites that participated in the festivities and celebration of Americas 250th birthday. And what about Nadia Mohamed, who owes everything to the American nation, do? Does she at least give thanks to the country that let her in and attend a Fourth of July celebration? No! Instead, she traveled all the way to Somalia to meet with its president and talk about the Somalian diaspora, a complete slap in the face to the American nation.
This is not an isolated case, just a very prominent one, and it shows a pattern. During the World Cup, many Scots, Norwegians, Japanese, and other foreigners have visited our country, expressing appreciation and gratefulness for American hospitality. Meanwhile, we have Somalis spending Independence Day in Somalia. At the same time, we have American blacks, who have been in our country for over 400 years, behaving badly, unable to speak English correctly, and refusing to assimilate.
All of this shows that a nation is not just a idea, not just common customs and/or language, but a people too, a people bound by a shared history, culture, language, geography, and genetics. And maybe, just maybe, this means we should bring back the immigration policy that we had up until 1965, which prioritized emigrants from nations most similar to our own.
