Minnesota Democrats on the House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Committee circled the wagons to protect one of their own, blocking a subpoena for Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-5) on Tuesday. The action, or lack thereof, prevents deeper scrutiny into the congresswoman's alleged ties to the massive Feeding Our Future scandal. Despite Republican control of the committee, the measure fell one vote short of the required two-thirds supermajority. Democrats, who claim they are actively rooting out fraud in the North Star State (they're not), uniformly opposed efforts to compel the Squad member to turn over documents and answer questions...

ILHAN OMAR: “The last time the Alien Enemies Act was invoked was during World War ELEVEN.” Yep, that’s what she said. WORLD WAR ELEVEN. Why are we giving US citizenship to third worlders with subzero IQs??! THIS HAS TO END!

A California winery co-owned by Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar’s husband, Tim Mynett, has shut its doors for good amid scrutiny of the congresswoman’s family wealth. The winery ceased business operations on April 4, two months after Republicans sent a letter demanding answers into the discrepancies between Omar’s congressional financial disclosures for 2024 and the one she filed just one year earlier, according to California business records. In a February letter to Mynett, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) said financial disclosures filed by his wife Omar “show eStCru LLC and Rose Lake Capital LLC, which you hold ownership stakes...

The Justice Department has identified 384 foreign-born Americans whose citizenship it intends to revoke, marking a significant expansion of denaturalization efforts as part of the Trump administration's broader immigration crackdown. Senior DOJ officials told colleagues during a meeting last week that civil litigators in 39 U.S. attorneys' offices would soon be assigned to file cases against the individuals, an unnamed source told The New York Times. The newspaper reported on Thursday that two others familiar with the plans confirmed the initiative, but they did not immediately make it clear what led officials to target the 384 individuals. Under federal law,...

FIRST ON FOX: A Minnesota Republican lawmaker is demanding answers from Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., after the Democrat failed to appear at a state hearing examining her potential connections to the sprawling pandemic-era fraud scandal. State Rep. Kristin Robbins, chair of the House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Committee, sent a formal letter to Omar on April 22 criticizing her absence from a scheduled committee hearing she was invited to and requesting extensive documentation related to the "Feeding Our Future" investigation that has gained national attention in recent months. "Minnesotans and the Members of the House Fraud Prevention &...

Ilhan Omar is claiming the $30 million “error” on her congressional financial disclosures was a simple mistake — but lawmakers aren’t buying it. They point to the Democratic firebrand and her current husband’s curious history of making money conveniently appear and disappear when it suits them, at least on paper. House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) said Omar could be hit with felony charges if she is found to have lied about the cash. Minnesota Rep. Omar’s financial disclosures for 2024, filed last year, initially valued her husband Tim Mynett’s businesses at between $6 million and $30 million. This...

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is attributing her alleged inflated net worth to an accounting mistake. Earlier this year, reports showed that Ms. Omar had accumulated significant wealth, with a net worth in the millions, which raised questions about possible fraud. Subsequently, Nick Shirley’s investigation into a web of Somali-led scams brought new attention to her financial dealings. If that’s a true accounting error, then I’m Somali, too. Are you kidding me, lady? There was an error that inflated your assets to $30 million? Please, also, one of the ventures that The Washington Free Beacon investigated in January, a winery, is...

WASHINGTON — Far-left Rep. Ilhan Omar blew up at a reporter this week for asking questions about accounting “discrepancies” the Democrat blamed for overstating her net worth by millions of dollars on financial disclosure forms. In May last year, Omar (D-Minn.) claimed she and her husband, Tim Mynett, held assets worth between $6 million and $30 million. However, an amended filing reported by the Wall Street Journal last week put the couple’s wealth at between $18,004 and $95,000. The lawmaker claimed the initial filing was riddled with accounting errors. “Congresswoman Omar, the last time I spoke to you, you said...

A simmering feud between Reps. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) and Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) has roared back up to a boil, escalating to tit-for-tat threats of expulsion as each lawmaker publicly lobs attacks on the other’s character. Mace on Monday filed a resolution to expel Mills, citing allegations of dating violence and campaign finance laws — a move that comes amid renewed scrutiny of sexual misconduct by House members after Reps. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) and Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) resigned last week. “Cory, your days are numbered. Start packing,” Mace said in a statement announcing the expulsion resolution.But Mills is pointing the finger...

Rep. Tom Emmer, R-Minn., sharply criticized "Squad" Rep. Ilhan Omar as a "complete fraud" on Saturday, while discussing her criticism of fraud investigations and scrutiny over a major discrepancy in her financial disclosures. "Not only should her accountant be fired, but that girl should be fired and she does not deserve to be in Congress," Emmer told "The Big Weekend Show." "Quite frankly, if she is discovered to be involved in any of this fraud personally, that she benefited from it, even by her actions of promoting it and trying to resist investigations, she should be held accountable to the...

In a stunning performance that would have any stage magician green with envy, the amazing sudden wealth of Democrat Representative Ilhan Omar (MN-05) has evaporated, like dandelion fluff on a windy summer's day.The Squad member claims that the $30 million in wealth supposedly in the hands of her and her husband was just a mistake in accounting records.Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., said she is not a millionaire and blamed a major accounting error after a congressional financial disclosure listing her assets as high as $30 million drew scrutiny from Republicans and a congressional watchdog.An amended filing reviewed by The Wall...

The Republic of Somaliland in the Horn of Africa is once again offering the United States a military base in a strategic area with access to critical minerals, this time reminding the USA that this could be the perfect foothold from which to counter terrorist operations from the Iranian regime and the Houthis. On Monday, the Republic of Somaliland's X account shared a Fox News headline about how a potential U.S. base in the African nation could be crucial in combatting the jihadis who terrorize the area: The Republic of Somaliland is seeking international recognition and is offering the United...

MINNEAPOLIS — Abdirashid Said is the original Personal Care Assistant company fraudster who stole taxpayer money while claiming to operate out of a mailbox at an office on Central Avenue in Northeast Minneapolis. After he was convicted in 2021 and ordered to have nothing to do with companies that receive Medicaid money, other PCA companies took his place at the Central Avenue office. And Said started receiving checks from them. "Were those checks for employment for you, Mr. Said?" former state prosecutor Steve Forrest asked at a probation violation hearing. "No, they were for loans," Said said. Said claimed the...

Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-Minn.) family has a direct connection to genocide in Somaliland. And she herself has proudly fraternized with an architect of that genocide while visiting Somalia. Vice President JD Vance confirmed this week that evidence definitely implicates Omar in immigration fraud. Afterwards, the Republic of Somaliland offered an extradition deal with the United States, so they could help bring her to justice. And if you don’t know the difference between Somaliland and Somalia, or why the former has a grudge against both Omar and her whole family, prepare to be sickened at the sort of murderous trash we...

There are two kinds of people: the kind of people who want to end the Iran War and people who want to win the Iran War. The Victory Option encompasses the goal of the first kind of people because it ends the war, but ending the war is not the proper objective. The proper objective in any war is to win it. Anyone glancing at social media sees people with an absolute commitment to America’s defeat. And defeat comes about only if Donald Trump chooses to quit the war – because the Iranians can’t make us do anything since they...

Bruce Springsteen is the headliner at the flagshiip No Kings rally at the state Capitol in Saint Paul this afternoon. Joan Baez, Jane Fonda, and Bernie Sanders are also primed to appear. Truth in advertising would require the rally to be redesignated Gimme That Old Time Religion or In Search of Lost Time. As the Rolling Stones once trilled, “What a drag it is getting old.” Tim Walz, Keith Ellison, and Ilhan Omar will also be there. They wouldn’t want to miss the chance to rag on the King. Opposing the King has become the lodestone of their careers. Contrary...

Back in late January, we reported on how House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (KY-01) announced that the committee was going to be looking into the sudden wealth of Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-05).It was revealed at the time that her husband, purported venture capitalist Tim Mynett, "went from nearly broke to being worth up to $30 million in just a year, according to her 2024 disclosure forms."Specifically, Comer noted that "There are a lot of questions as to how her husband accumulated so much wealth over the past two years. It’s not possible. It’s not. I’m a money guy....
