Federal prosecutors have identified Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., in a court filing as "Ilhan Nur Said Elmi," listing the name the Minnesota Democrat uses publicly as an alias. The name renews scrutiny of long-running claims about her past marriage. The filing, submitted Wednesday in Washington's federal court by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro's office, refers to her as "Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar." It asks a judge to keep a search warrant for Omar's home sealed until agents finish executing it, after The New York Times and other outlets sought its release. Fox News Digital first reported, citing...

If Jesse Watters has his way, you’ll never have to hear about Fox News’ The Five discussing the WNBA ever again. Talk about a win-win. During Wednesday’s episode of the daily talk show, the panel discussed the latest chapter in the eye-rolling saga between former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom and the WNBA. Kanter has previously made headlines for claiming he should be allowed to play in the league as part of an anti-transgender athlete publicity stunt, even getting into a verbal altercation with a player before being removed from the arena. Earlier on Wednesday, Kanter said he received a...

Nearly $2 million dollars donated to the victims of Maine’s biggest mass shooting didn’t go to the victims and instead went into the hands of Muslim groups and left-wing migrant activist groups, according to a new report. After the mass shooting that claimed the lives of 18 innocent people in Lewiston, Maine, in October of 2023, the state’s Democrat Governor, Janet Mills, promoted an organization called the Maine Community Foundation that began taking donations from the public to benefit the survivors of the rampage. Mills endorsed the organization as the only trustworthy place to send donations to help the victims....

Spencer Pratt lost his home in the Palisades Fire. Then he ran for mayor on one message: Karen Bass failed the Palisades. More than 200,000 voters believed him. Now the mayor’s political life is in their hands. Pratt didn’t mince words. He accused city leaders of “criminal negligence.” He said they “let us burn.” On the debate stage he called Bass “an incredible liar,” and afterward he described standing next to her as being near “a real life monster.” SNIP The new California Post survey, conducted Oct. 15-18 by McLaughlin & Associates among 400 likely voters, has the headline numbers...

**SNIP** Agents with U.S. Homeland Security Investigations, a branch of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, searched Omar's home before dawn Oct. 12 under a sealed warrant listing conspiracy, false statements on immigration paperwork, and immigration fraud as potential crimes, a person familiar with the case told Reuters. Investigators are examining whether Omar or her late father lied about her age when she became a citizen in 2000, CNN reported. As of Thursday, Omar has denied wrongdoing and has not been charged. Dershowitz said the warrant itself tells a story. Of search warrants, he said, "usually they're issued pretty easily, but not...

Data from this fall’s early balloting and interviews with officials and voters suggests Americans, particularly Democrats, are moving away from mailing ballots and toward in-person voting and drop boxes, following President Donald Trump’s relentless attack on voting by mail.Requests for mail ballots are down compared with the last midterm election in six of eight states analyzed by Michael McDonald, a University of Florida professor who is the leading authority on early voting data. In Georgia, he found, requests for mail ballots are down 40 percent, while in-person early voting is “through the roof.” In Wisconsin, mail voting is down compared...

A man who has “transitioned” into a “woman”—it’s legitimately hard to even write that with a straight face—claims that not Jesus, not salvation, not even anything remotely related to God’s word, but his “transgenderism” is actually the bread given to him by God. What is he talking about, you ask? This man, who is now ordained in the Church of England and goes by “Rev. Sarah Hobbs,” speaking at the 2026 “Love Wins Conference” last week, references Matthew 7:9—“if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone?” Hobbs explains that he had been praying and asking God to...

The majority of the 40 defendants federally prosecuted for their roles in Oregon SNAP fraud schemes are illegal immigrants, the US Attorney's Office for the District of Oregon confirmed to The Post Millennial. The schemes involved numerous organized interstate crime rings that have defrauded the federal government of more than $3 million since at least 2024. The fraudsters stole EBT card data, mainly through skimming devices, to procure SNAP-eligible goods and sell them on the black market for personal gain, according to court documents. At least 11 individuals have been indicted since last month, Oregon US Attorney Scott Bradford announced...

Republican Rick Jackson is sounding the alarm over sluggish early voting across deep-red rural Georgia, warning that complacency in GOP strongholds could jeopardize his bid for governor. At a campaign stop Tuesday night in Calhoun, the billionaire nominee was surprisingly candid about his party’s struggles. “I’m concerned,” he said. “I am concerned that rural Georgia still thinks we’re red and therefore they look at somebody like myself and my opponent and just say, ‘Well, there’s no comparison.’” His worry is that reliable Republican voters are taking victory over Democrat Keisha Lance Bottoms for granted. Democratic-leaning areas are far outpacing GOP-leaning...

A judge and the state AG say Facebook didn’t block enough political speech.Can one state regulate speech for the other 49? We’re about to find out after a New Mexico judge on Wednesday ordered Meta to pay $25 billion for supposedly misleading the public about its privacy and content moderation policies. Its real offense is not doing more to censor speech that progressives dislike.The $25 billion penalty ranks among the largest court judgments against a single company in U.S. history.

Western governments have put themselves in mortal danger. They are actively doing things that are destroying their countries: (1) replacing their native citizens with unassimilable foreigners; (2) centralizing government power in unelected and unaccountable bureaucracies; (3) censoring and criminalizing public dissent; (4) offshoring industrial and manufacturing jobs; (5) exacerbating energy costs and general inflation by demonizing hydrocarbons and pushing “global warming” delusions; (6) increasing taxes, government spending, and public welfare in unsustainable ways; (7) demolishing their nations’ historical identities, traditions, beliefs, and common cultures; (8) providing foreigners with “free” homes, food, and educations, while accusing native citizens of being “racists,”...
