Nation Relocates Kids Of Dictator Who Massacred 200,000 To Ohio, Then Routes $1.8 Million In Medicare Their Way

COLUMBUS, OH - In another triumph of compassion, screening, and paperwork, the children of Somali dictator Siad Barre have been living quietly in Ohio for decades after their father was overthrown in 1991. 

Barre's regime is alleged to be responsible for killing as many as 200,000 people. A family-linked home health company later collected more than $1.8 million in Medicare funding. 

Ayanle Mohamed Siad and his sister, Deka Mohamed Siad, settled in Columbus after the family dictatorship collapsed. Deka and her late husband, former Somali ambassador Abdikarim Ali Omar, ran Vanguard Home Health Care, a company that received more than $1.8 million in Medicare funding, according to the New York Post. The company closed after Omar's death in 2021. 

Officials have not explained which box on the immigration form covers "child of the man who ran a 21-year slaughterhouse." They have explained that the billing looked fine.

Barre seized power in Somalia for roughly 21 years before being overthrown. Ayanle has been accused of serving as head of Barre's administration in the final years of the dictatorship. He currently lives in a $350,000 house with his wife and son, and his presence has left many in the Somali community outraged.

Survivors of the old regime now live in the same metro area as the old regime's children, which immigration planners apparently filed under "diversity."

“Siad Barre and his men committed so many war crimes so I was shocked to see his son [Ayanle] in the mosque enjoying his freedom,” one Somali, Ali-Guban Mohamed, told the New York Post. “My family were rounded up in a small township called Agabur and executed. Their bodies were put into a well, and that was happening across the board.”

“It was a 21-year military dictatorship, one man rule and a bunch of his men. Siad Barre dictated where you could go, where you could live, where you can travel,” he continued. 

Mohammad, who came to the US after Barre ordered the massacre of civilians in the Isaaq clan, said that “not a single person had been held accountable for the genocide that took place,” under Barre’s rule. “It feels very bad to know Ayanle is here. Others are scared to speak out but I don’t care. People need to know the truth. He was supposed to be the one who took over from his father, like Saddam Hussein’s son.”

American taxpayers, meanwhile, were held accountable right on schedule. Medicare sent the money. The house got bought. The mosque visits continued. The genocide file stayed in the "not our department" cabinet. 

Despite his atrocities, Barre is celebrated by the Somali Museum of Ohio, which has referred to him as its “honorable grandfather.” 

And let's also remember, AOC and Zohran Mamdani laughed out freaking loud at the 911 Memorial event. Of course, this has nothing to do with this story, but I had to mention it.

Taco Bell Introduces Authentic "Runs for the Border" Experience, CDC Confirms It Was Perhaps Too Authentic

ATLANTA, AP, Taco Bell customers across five states have reportedly discovered that the chain's slogan now comes with a stopwatch after federal health officials confirmed that lettuce from Mexico was the source of a widespread cyclospora outbreak.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identified shredded iceberg lettuce served at Taco Bell locations in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and West Virginia as the culprit behind an outbreak that turned drive thru visits into drive by emergencies.

The CDC warned consumers not to eat the lettuce, while countless customers admitted that warning would have been much more helpful before lunch.

A Food and Drug Administration investigation traced the lettuce to a single supplier, whose identity remains secret, presumably because witness protection now extends to produce distributors.

"FDA is working with the supplier of iceberg lettuce to determine if potentially contaminated shredded iceberg lettuce remains on the market," including in other states, the CDC said. "Taco Bell has committed to stop using any lettuce from the supplier identified by FDA's traceback investigation."

Translation, somewhere in America, a warehouse full of lettuce is being interrogated under a bright lamp.

Federal investigators have been tracking the outbreak alongside public health officials as infections continue climbing. More than 30 states have reported cases this year, pushing totals beyond the previous U.S. record of roughly 4,700 infections set in 2019.

Public health experts insist the illness is usually not life threatening, a comforting message delivered to people currently memorizing every restroom location between home and work.

Earlier this week Taco Bell announced it had "voluntarily and temporarily removed limited ingredients at select restaurants as a precautionary measure. We will continue to closely monitor the situation and follow the guidance of public health authorities."

Translation again, the lettuce has been placed on administrative leave pending further investigation.

Cyclospora is a microscopic parasite that causes watery diarrhea "with frequent and sometimes explosive bowel movements," according to the CDC, making it perhaps the only government description that requires no embellishment whatsoever.

Officials say the parasite spreads through food contaminated by fecal matter, often from irrigation water. Somehow this fact still failed to convince people that ordering "extra lettuce" might not be the healthiest life choice.

Experts attribute the growing number of cases to climate change and improved detection methods, because in modern America every story must eventually arrive at climate change, even if it first makes several urgent stops at the restroom. Meanwhile, ordinary Americans have developed a simpler theory, perhaps restaurants should ensure the lettuce is not imported with complimentary parasites.

Patriots Heroically Liberate American City Square From Somali Flag After Woke Officials Cancel July 4 Fireworks To Make Room For Foreign Pride

BUFFALO, NY — In a shocking act of domestic terrorism that Mayor Sean Ryan is already calling "the greatest threat to democracy since mean tweets," unknown patriots cut down the Somali flag flying in Niagara Square late Wednesday night. The daring flag retrieval occurred just one day after city officials axed Buffalo’s Fourth of July fireworks because, apparently, celebrating America’s 250th birthday is problematic but honoring Somalia’s independence is essential civic duty.

The Somali flag had been proudly flapping in the square for the past four years on July 1, because nothing says "Welcome to America" like turning public spaces into mini embassies for countries whose citizens fled them.

“Buffalo is a proud, diverse city,” Mayor Ryan lectured reporters, “and our administration remains committed to honoring and celebrating the many cultures that make our community stronger—especially the ones that aren’t, you know, this one.”

Local residents pointed out the minor optics issue of hoisting a foreign flag right before Independence Day while simultaneously canceling the actual Independence Day celebration. Erie County GOP Chairman Michael Kracker summed it up perfectly: “City Hall canceled downtown fireworks, leaving Buffalo as one of the only cities in Western New York without a public Fourth of July event, and instead raised the flag of Somalia outside City Hall. But sure, no one is questioning immigrant contributions. This week just belongs to all of us Americans... except when it doesn’t.”

Mayor Ryan had briefly teased reviving the patriotic fireworks display for America’s big 250th, but after “exploring potential locations,” somehow no safe, accessible spot could be found in an entire American city. Tragic. Meanwhile, locating and installing a Somali flag pole? Piece of cake.Buffalo isn’t alone in this bold new trend of American mayors treating July 1 like it’s more important than July 4. Columbus, Ohio—home to the second-largest Somali population in the U.S.—also planned to hoist the flag before quietly memory-holing the announcement the second anyone noticed.

At press time, Buffalo police were conducting a full investigation into the flag theft, while sources confirm the Somali flag has been safely returned to its natural habitat: a storage closet where it can’t offend anyone who actually likes this country.

Cleveland Clinic Agrees To Stop Chopping Off Kids' Twigs And Berries After DOJ Finally Notices It's Illegal

The Department of Justice announced another resolution arising from its ongoing national investigation into violations of federal law in connection with sex-rejecting procedures on minors.

The Cleveland Clinic Foundation has entered into agreements with the Department and the Ohio Attorney General that include a decades-long commitment to not perform or offer sex-rejecting procedures—which include the administration of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones—for minors.

Cleveland Clinic has also agreed to pay a monetary penalty and, in a landmark commitment, dedicate additional millions to help provide essential medical care for individuals living with the harmful consequences of such misguided medical interventions performed on them as children and adolescents who are called “detransitioners”.

“The Department of Justice is steadfastly committed to protecting America’s children,” said Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward. “Just as the resolution with Texas Children’s, today’s resolution with Cleveland Clinic furthers that commitment and puts these providers on notice that this Department will vigorously enforce federal law where children are put at risk.”According to the terms of the agreements, which the Department reached in coordination with Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, Cleveland Clinic - a partner in other Administration priority initiatives - will pay $308,000 to resolve allegations regarding false billings submitted to public and private payors to secure insurance coverage for sex-rejecting procedures on minors.

As part of the resolution, Cleveland Clinic has committed $2 million to provide restorative care for de-transitioners, the very victims of these predatory and dangerous practices - regardless of their insured status or ability to pay.

The agreements come less than a month after the Justice Department announced its resolution with Texas Children’s Hospital, which the Department secured through a partnership with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. As previously announced, Texas Children’s agreed to pay a $10 million penalty and, much like Cleveland Clinic’s commitment today, create the first-of-its-kind clinic dedicated to treating de-transitioners. Texas Children’s also agreed to permanently cease providing any sex-rejecting procedures to minors.

These historic commitments pair the cessation of these dangerous practices masquerading as medical treatment with substantial investments in remediating the destruction they cause and restoring the health of the victims.

In working towards this settlement, the United States acknowledged that Cleveland Clinic took significant steps entitling it to credit for cooperation with the Department in its investigation. At all times during the investigation, Cleveland Clinic remained cooperative, proactive, and solution-driven, as highlighted by its multi-million dollar commitment to providing care to the victims who most need it.

“I am grateful that institutions like Cleveland Clinic and Texas Children’s have decided to be part of the solution, not part of the problem,” said Brett Shumate, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Division. “Cleveland Clinic’s commitment to providing millions of dollars towards care for de-transitioners is emblematic of just that. I am grateful for this resolution with Cleveland Clinic, but our work is far from over, and our division will continue to work tirelessly to protect America’s children and hold accountable those that have preyed on vulnerable children, whether they be pharmaceutical companies or medical providers.”

These matters and the investigations into sex-rejecting procedures on minors are being led by the Justice Department’s Civil Division Enforcement and Affirmative Litigation Branch and Commercial Litigation Branch, Fraud Section.

The claims resolved by the United States in the settlements are allegations only, and there has been no determination of liability. Cleveland Clinic has denied all allegations.

In a stunning turn of events, one of America's most prestigious hospitals has discovered that chemically castrating and surgically mutilating confused middle-schoolers might not actually be "healthcare." Sources say the clinic's doctors are shocked - shocked! - to learn that handing out experimental hormones like candy and billing insurance for it could draw federal scrutiny.

"Look, we were just following the science," said a visibly sweating hospital administrator who definitely does not want his name used. "The science that said puberty is a disease and every tomboy secretly needs a fake penis. How were we supposed to know the DOJ would get all weird about it?"

Experts remain divided on whether this sudden burst of sanity will spread to other elite medical institutions, or if they'll just wait for the next administration to green-light turning playgrounds into gender assembly lines again. For now, de-transitioners finally have a little help picking up the pieces after the medical establishment's greatest "oopsie" since lobotomies were considered progressive.
