Since I began my first term in Congress, I have sought to speak openly and honestly about the scale of the issues our country faces whether it is ending the crippling burden of student debt, tackling the existential threat of climate change or making sure no one in one of the richest countries in the world dies from lack of health care. As a survivor of war and a refugee, I have also sought to have an honest conversation about U.S. foreign policy, militarism and our role in the world.
This question of how the United States engages in conflict abroad is deeply personal to me. I fled my home country of Somalia when I was 8 years old from a conflict that the United States later engaged in. I spent the next four years in a refugee camp in Kenya, where I experienced and witnessed unspeakable suffering from those who, like me, had lost everything because of war.

The first part is background info, but, the second part is not needed. I am sure it fits the insane agenda of blaming the USA for something.
Just keeps growing and growing...
This is a member of the U.S. Congress !!!! smh
These press folks need to come down off their altars... we're NOT worshiping liberals or their ‘values’... or their 'chosen ones'...
Peace in our time, under Sharia Law...
No, they aren't.
Applying "universal values" like "Peace" and "Respect" to all nations is naive, stupid and dangerous.
Leftists of all stripes (like this turd) seem to think that if we treat people the way we want to be treated, that they will reciprocate and treat us the same way.
Nothing could be further from the truth, and is one of the foundational elements of Leftism that is so dangerously wrong that it borders on suicidal.
Leftists believe that if you combat PID (Poverty, Ignorance, and Disease) that the ship will be self righting and stable, and that people who might be bad will become good, and that everyone will get along.
They believe that there are no bad people, only things like Poverty, Ignorance, and Disease that made them bad.
Believing this is a repudiation of human nature, dangerous and suidical.
One of the things that has made the United States such a successful experiment is the knowledge of this aspect of human nature by our founders and the framers of the Constitution, who designed our government in such a way as to take this unsavory aspect of human behavior into account instead of thinking is is an abnormal condition caused by the environment that people live in.
From what I have seen of her religion, "universal values" that result in Peace, Respect, and Harmony just happen to be in the Koran as a basic tenet of Islam, but that only happens when everyone lives under "Dar al-Islam" or "The House of Peace".
That sounds great and wonderful, until you realize that that only happens in three ways: Everyone converts to Islam, those that don't convert to Islam are subjugated to a lesser status highlighted by loss of opportunity and the mandatory payment of a dhimmi tax, or are outright destroyed.
I couldn't give a crap if Leftists want to believe this crap from someone like her, if it only affected them.
But it doesn't, and the Leftists want to subjugate conservatives in much the same way that Islamists want to subjugate and destroy "unbelievers": We must become part of their hive mentality, become lesser citizens, or be destroyed.
Many on the Left don't realize two things: First, that the core of this religion "universal values" this woman observes is very similar to the Left's own war against conservatives or other political apostates or unbelievers, and Second, that when the time comes, those very Leftists who fought against their countrymen to incorporate these same values, will in turn, have those "universal values" turned against them by the very people they regard as allies.
My universal value says, “You kill one of mine and I will kill 10 of yours.”
If she acted out like this “back home” she’d be toast already. Same with tlaib-ia too.
Oh how special. The Bezoz blog is giving special consideration to anti-Semitism and hatred.
Their motto is their goal: Democracy Dies in Darkness.
Dear strange mohammedan,
I am an American. I do not proscribe to any
Otherworldly notion, such as universal anything. I hold American values, which as a transient, cannot understand. I believe that MY country is the greatest on the planet, bar none. I believe it is the INDIVIDUAL, that is above all government, amd INDIVIDUAL rights are paramount, above any political, or religious organizations’ rules, regulations, or say so. You do not.
You are on fire this morning!
Bill Kristol's heart is all aflutter
Shut your face you filthy Somali whore!
Honest conversation is not part of this creep's capabilities.
Omar has no respect for our Constitution....bringing her own problems to the USA....
But I do wonder if this Somali whore has ever committed adultery. IIRC it's said that she married her brother so he could get a Green Card.I wonder how that "marriage" went.
Anti-semitism is a universal value?
I really don't like that our Empire has become the Klingons! (flame away)
Remember 9/11
I think being on fire due to this is a good thing, so I will say “thank you”!
Of all the things the Left does that anger me, it is this infantile belief that all people are inherently good and treating them with kindness and respect will result in Utopia.
Here is my analogy:
Let’s say you share a house with a Leftist in a crime infested dangerous area populated by people who want to do you harm.
The authorities have informed people that the common element in the last 100 assaults, rapes, and murders was that the criminal knocked on the door claiming to have a medical problem before committing violence.
You have had arguments with your Leftist roommate about checking first to see who knocks on the door before opening it, to the point he has labeled you mean, intolerant, ignorant, a xenophobe, and heartless. He insists that all people are the same, they love their children too, and want to be loved by others, and your attitudes are destructive to harmonious living with those around you.
One night, there is a knock on the door, and your Leftist roommate hears the person outside saying “I think my friend is having a heart attack-can you please help me?” and then your roommate unreservedly and without hesitation opens the door to allow the person in. After which you are both violently assaulted, robbed, raped, and even murdered.
If your Leftist roommate lived there alone, it would be unfortunate, but when you heard about it you would shake your head and say “Hey, he was warned. I warned him, the cops warned him, and the superindendent warned him.”
But if you lived in the house with him and were there at that time, you would pay the same penalty for his naivety and stupidity.
That is how it is with Leftists, Crime, Aggression and warfare all are viewed the same by them, and it is as if they have never read a history book or even met other people by whose behavior they might draw a valuable conclusion.
If she saw violence, misery, and mistreatment of people “back home”, she didn’t have a brain in her head to draw the correct conclusions from it.
