Does Ilhan Omar represent the Fifth Congressional District of Minnesota?  That's her official job.  But buried in the back of her mind, ready to spring out in unguarded or stressful moments, seems to be the notion that her real country is Somalia. Streiff of Red State notes that there is a pattern of her speaking of Somalia, which she left at about age 8, as her country, not the nation from which she draws a substantial salary and whose constitution she is sworn to protect. Chris Berg on Twitter spotted a Freudian slip that Omar quickly caught, when she returned to MSP Airport...

Media outlets scrambled to prove false the accusation that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) married her brother after President Donald Trump mentioned it, but none have been able to definitively reach an answer, largely due to Omar's unwillingness to provide information... "What's really made it hard is that she's been unwilling to address any of these questions,"

Somali-Canadian journalist Hodan Nalayeh returned to Somalia in May to document what life is like in the African country. Her goal was simple: she wanted to show the world that Somalia wasn't as dangerous as everyone thought, despite the country's struggle with war and terrorist attacks. Nalayeh took to Instagram to share her excitement, saying for the first time in 30 years she was living in Somalia. But fast forward eight weeks later and Nalayeh is dead. According to CNN, Nalayeh died when a terrorist attack took place in Kismayo, about 300 miles south of Mogadish, the capital. A suicide...

Commentary: The Congresswoman Representing Somalia July 18, 2019 Minnesota Sun Staff BY GEORGE S. BARDMESSER I am an immigrant. I want Representative Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu) to go back to the shithole country she came from. And I want her to stay there. I spent some time on the Internet looking for even one positive thing that Omar has said about America—but my search was in vain. Omar hates and despises her adoptive country unequivocally and unconditionally. She hates everything about America today, and she hates everything about the America of yesterday. Omar hates white people. Omar hates Jews—and she is...

Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar has allegedly been uncooperative with her hometown paper’s efforts to get to the bottom of accusations that she committed marriage fraud, the paper’s political editor said. Omar’s brief congressional career has been dogged by accusations — which she has denied — that she married a male relative, possibly her brother. Omar and her current husband, Ahmed Hirsi, filed joint tax returns while Omar was married to another man, Ahmed Elmi, Minnesota campaign finance officials said. Omar and her family have made it difficult for journalists to find out the truth about her marriage, Minnesota Star-Tribune...

High-profile Democrats are decrying a controversial resolution from Rep. Ilhan Omar affirming the right to boycott Israel, even as they rally behind her and three other first-term congresswomen attacked by President Trump. Omar, D-Minn., proposed the resolution earlier this week in a bid to push back against U.S. laws banning the Israel boycotts. The text of the measure affirms the right of Americans to organize boycotts of foreign countries. While the resolution doesn’t explicitly name Israel or the pro-Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, she told media outlets that the resolution concerns the Jewish state. 'We are introducing a...

Earlier this week a Somali American patriot reached out to The Gateway Pundit to share some more on Ilhan’s radical past... As one of their fellow clansmen who has moved to America... She doesn’t espouse our beliefs nor our love for our adopted country. She has more loyalty to Somalia and our clan than she has towards this great country. We left a country where we were indoctrinated to believe things like Northern Somalis are Jewish and should be exterminated... That same extreme ideology and anti-Semitism that Ilhan displays, is what led to the genocide in Somaliland and Al-Shabab taking...

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar was greeted at the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport by more than a hundred supporters -- constituents, organizers and well-wishers, carrying homemade "stand with Ilhan" signs welcoming her back to Minneapolis... [snip] "It sure feels good to be home!" she said to cheers, ahead of a Medicare-for-All town hall event with progressive Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash. Omar was defiant, criticizing Trump’s "fascist" policies, and promised to continue standing up for her beliefs, pointing to her Medicare-for-All town hall this evening. "Everybody is talking about that he is threatened because we criticize him," she said. "But the reality is that...

I've seen this before.. DemonRat operatives infiltrating conservative rallies, protests, etc., and starting trouble. Then, the media is ready to POUNCE because the entire fiasco had been scripted even before the event started. Was the "send her back" chant started by a small group of Democrat insurgents allowed into Trump's rally?

For all the talk about the security risks of Muslim “refugees” coming from Syria, little is said about another refugee program that has been delivering thousands of Muslims annually to U.S. cities for 33 years. That country is Somalia, which, just like Syria, is a hotbed of Sunni jihad terrorism and warring factions of Shariah-compliant tribal clans. Every president since Ronald Reagan has his fingerprints on the Somali refugee program, but it really found its footing under President Clinton and hasn’t slowed down since.

The story begins in 1950, when Italian Somaliland (southern Somalia) became a UN trust territory under Italian administration. Renamed Somalia six years later, the country was granted internal autonomy and subsequently held its first elections, won by the Somali Youth League. In July 1960, both British and Italian Somaliland were granted independence, uniting to form the independent Republic of Somalia. Aden Abdullah Osman Daar became the first president, but the new country's borders were not clearly defined, and there were border skirmishes and hostilities with Kenya and Ethiopia throughout the 1960s. Somalian prime minister Abdurashid Ali Shermarke with the Somalian...

Trump says he disagrees with 'send her back' chant President Trump on Thursday said he disagrees with the "send her back" chant that rang throughout his North Carolina rally when he attacked Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.). “I was not happy with it,” Trump told reporters at the White House. “I disagree with it.” The president has attacked Omar and three of her colleagues for days after saying they should “go back” to their home countries, even though they are all U.S. citizens. Only Omar, who came to the U.S. a refugee from Somalia, was born outside the country.

An incendiary photo purports to show Donald Trump's sworn enemy Ilhan Omar with two of her husbands - one allegedly her brother - at the same event. Trump caused uproar yesterday when he repeated the suggestion that the Democrat Congresswoman had married her own brother. The explosive rumor first appeared during her election campaign in 2016 and prompted a furious response with Omar calling it an Islamophobic slur. However, her conjugal arrangements are baffling in large part because she has failed to fully explain an apparent overlap in her unions to Ahmed Abdisalan Hirsi (her first and current husband) and...

According to a Washington Post report published Saturday, the Somali-Canadian journalist had returned to the country of her birth to tell “uplifting” stories of how people lived there. However, her homecoming ended in tragedy. By the time Trump unleashed his nativistic tirade against Omar, Nalayeh had been dead for two days.

President Trump, at a fiery "Make America Great Again" campaign rally Wednesday night in Greenville, North Carolina, blasted four progressive congresswomen, Reps. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, with whom he continues to spar after an ongoing feud over comments he made against them that critics deemed "racist." "Let 'em leave... they're always telling us how to run it, how to do this, how to do that. You know what? If they don't love it, tell 'em to leave it," Trump said of the congresswomen, doubling down on...

On July 12, al-Shabaab Islamic terrorists attacked a hotel in the Somali seaport of Kismayo. They detonated a suicide car bomb, and then gunmen shot their way into the hotel. The attack left 33 human beings dead and injured at least 50. Do events like this in anarchic Somalia matter beyond the immediate region? Let's consider some uncomfortable history. In April 1992, the UN Operation in Somalia (UNOSOM I) deployed to feed and protect 5 million threatened people. In December 1992, American military forces arrived to assist Operation Restore Hope. In October 1993, U.S. Army Rangers fought militants hand to...

House Democrats today rallied around a resolution to condemn President Donald Trump’s racist tweets against four high-profile freshmen congresswomen. But at least one of those congresswomen — Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota — is about to drop her own resolution that may not go over so well with Democratic leadership. Her resolution would defend the pro-Palestinian boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel. “We are introducing a resolution … to really speak about the American values that support and believe in our ability to exercise our first amendment rights in regard to boycotting,” Omar told Al-Monitor. “And it is...

Most people’s worldviews are heavily influenced during their formative years. Those influences, and their roots, are important to discern among our national leaders. The election of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is often seen as a celebration of diversity: An immigrant from the wasteland of Somalia, and one of the first two Muslim women, elected to the United States Congress. Omar personifies the Red-Green Axis: an ideological and political combination of Marxism-Leninism and Islamism. A look at Omar’s upbringing is a key to identifying her extremism, and where she wants to take the country that took in her and her family....
