Squad member Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) pushed back on remarks that she was not "cute" or "attractive enough" to ignore her constituents, claiming the comment reminded her of former President Donald Trump. Omar claimed the rhetoric, which was used by her Democratic primary challenger, Don Samuels, earlier this month, was unbecoming of someone seeking elected office.

Montgomery County, Maryland teacher and union official Angela Wolf / LinkedIn / Montgomery County Education Association ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A Maryland teacher is on leave while the school system investigates her for a string of anti-Semitic social media posts that included creating a list of wealthy Jews in her county, claiming they horde wealth while contributing nothing to society, and calling for “class war.” Angela Wolf is head of the English Language Development department, which caters to immigrant children, at Takoma Park Middle School, in the most leftist enclave of liberal Montgomery County. Though she was temporarily removed from school, she remains...

The pro-Palestinian, pro-Hamas movement in the U.S. is a “real danger” and could be “bigger” than Black Lives Matter (BLM), Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said during an appearance on Breitbart News Saturday, walking listeners through her decision to file a resolution to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), whom she claims led an “insurrection.” Greene spoke about the pro-Palestinian, pro-Hamas movement growing in the states and identified it as a “real danger,” predicting that it could become bigger than BLM. “The one I have my eyes on right now is the free Palestine, pro-Palestinian, pro-Hamas movement, which is turning into...

The US House of Representatives on Wednesday overwhelmingly approved a resolution expressing support for Israel in its war against Hamas. The resolution, titled “Standing with Israel as it defends itself against the barbaric war launched by Hamas and other terrorists”, passed by a majority of 412 to 10. Nine of the ten “no” votes were by Democrats: Reps. Cori Bush, Jamaal Bowman, Andre Carson, Al Green, Summer Lee, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Delia Ramirez and Rashida Tlaib. The lone Republican no vote was from Rep. Thomas Massie. The resolution states that the House of Representatives “stands with Israel as it...

Last week, we covered how Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA), a lesser known member of the Squad, is facing a primary challenger for her response to Hamas' attack on Israel earlier this month. As has been the case with other Squad members, her response to the terrorist attack certainly leaves something to be desired. Her response to the situation hasn't gotten much better, especially since she partook in a Squad press conference last Friday to demand a "ceasefire." Lee's response may not just affect her own race, but next year's Pennsylvania Senate race where vulnerable Democratic incumbent Bob Casey, Jr. is...

'What is wrong with you?' Omar asked of Biden Brandon Gillespie By Brandon Gillespie Fox NewsRep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., broke down in a fit of rage Friday aimed at President Biden and Democrat leadership over their support for Israel amid the war with Hamas. Her angry comments came during a press conference held outside the U.S. Capitol alongside a few fellow members of the far-left "Squad" calling for a ceasefire in the war. "How is it that we have a president who is talking about releasing hostages, who is talking about getting American citizens out of Israel, but could not...

In a surprising segment on ABC’s “The View” this week, the normally far-left hosts put the brakes on anti-Israel commentary, blasting Rep. Ilhan Omar and other ‘Squad’ members for shameful rhetoric. Granted, it was the show’s token so-called conservative, Alyssa Farah Griffin, who raked Omar, Rep. Rashida Tlaib, and Democrat colleagues over the coals, but her co-hosts did not shut her down as she called out the rush to judgment after Israel was blamed for an airstrike on a hospital in Gaza. Reports that Israel had launched an airstrike that took out the al-Ahli hospital in Gaza were rebutted by...

The British media body, which on the day of the attack on the hospital in Gaza presented the claim of Hamas, published a correction • "This does not represent our coverage", they said in their message • The CNN network investigated and determined: "The explosion - did not result from an Israeli attack"

Claimed victims in image were killed by IDF, but they really were victims of Syria’s dictator Ilhan Omar, the Democrat representative in Congress for a suburban district in Minneapolis, long has insisted that “disinformation” be struck from the conversations Americans have about issues. Apparently that would be, however, only “disinformation” with which she disagrees. That’s apparent because she was caught over the weekend spreading “disinformation,” or a lie, about the war that the Hamas terrorists launched against Israel a week ago. In that initial assault, the terrorists broke into Israeli territory and killed an estimated 1,200 individuals immediately, including babies...

HAMAS terrorists massacred at least 40 babies and kids in a sickening rampage in one town - with some found beheaded, Israel claimed. Israeli soldiers discovered scenes of unimaginable horror in Kfar Aza - a village close to the Gaza border that was captured for two days by the Hamas militants. Entire families were gunned down by Hamas militants in Kfar Aza - a village close to the Gaza border

As one of the first orders of business after the House of Representatives selects a new Speaker and additional military and humanitarian aid is approved for Israel, the House should at minimum vote to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) and take away her committee assignments. Rep. Tlaib, the first Palestinian-American sworn into Congress, reacted to the Hamas terrorists’ horrific massacre and abduction of Israeli civilians by condemning Israel’s “occupation” and “apartheid” policies. Not one word of condemnation for the atrocities the terrorists committed after invading Israel and rampaging through the streets and into Israeli homes, slaughtering men, women, and children...

Hamas terrorists fired rockets into towns, shot at civilians from paragliders, and kidnapped women and children from their homes. Grandmothers at gunpoint, loaded onto golf carts, to be held hostage or killed by twisted, depraved thugs — supported by soulless New York City progressives. Yes, in Times Square on Sunday, the Democratic Socialists of America will host an “All Out for Palestine” rally. Wear a mask so you’re not recognized, the organizers say. Best to just let the swastikas do the talking. “Never mind the hundreds of Israeli civilians and children who have been murdered, wounded, abducted, and terrorized. Their...

Rep. Ilhan Omar elicited outrage Monday with a public entreaty for the US to shift from giving Israel “unconditional weapons sales and military aid” to diplomacy. Omar (D-Minn.) — a member of the so-called “Squad” — also harped on the plight of the Palestinians and suggested that Israel’s retaliation against terrorist group Hamas might be a “war crime.” “The Israeli Defense Minister has called Palestinians ‘human animals’ and promised to cut off all electricity, all food, and all fuel to civilians in Gaza,” Omar wrote in a lengthy threat on X, formerly Twitter. “This is collective punishment, a war crime,...

A counter-protest has erupted in New York City's Times Square after pro-Palestinian groups gathered to rally - just one day after terrorist organization Hamas attacked Israel, leaving hundreds of civilians dead. Demonstrators waving Israeli flags clashed with placard-clad protesters - who rallied together at 1pm on Sunday in Manhattan's Midtown. New York is the city with the largest Jewish population in the world. 'How can you support this! ******* murderers!' one man screamed - as a raucous group of around 300 people chanted 'free Palestine' during the demo. As the Palestinian faction in Times Square swelled, a group of Israeli...

Donald Trump said Hamas' bloody attack on Israel is an 'act of savagery that must be crushed' and blamed Joe Biden for being a weak and ineffective leader. The former president, speaking at his presidential rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa on Saturday, condemned the attacks and used it as an opportunity to once again whack his political rival. 'The terror invasion of Israeli territory and the murder of Israeli soldiers and citizens is an act of savagery that must be, and will be, crushed and avenged,' he said.

Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib, an outspoken critic of Israel, has finally broken her silence on the unprecedented Hamas terrorist attack on Israel that has killed at least 600 Israelis and prompted Israel to officially declare war for the first time since 1973. Tlaib's office released a statement to the Detroit News on Sunday, more than 24 hours after Hamas launched thousands of rockets at southern Israel. "I grieve the Palestinian and Israeli lives lost yesterday, today, and every day," the statement reads. "As long as our country provides billions in unconditional funding to support the apartheid government, this heartbreaking cycle...

Rep. Ilhan Omar shockingly called for international protections and support for Palestinians after their fundamentalist terrorist group Hamas carried out a brutal terrorist attack on Israel. The progressive Minnesota congresswoman expressed her compassion for the people in the Palestinian enclave of the Gaza Strip amid widespread criticism for her and her colleagues' response to the violence. 'Reminder, Gaza doesn't have shelters or an iron dome and to please pray for them,' Omar wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. 'May peace prevail in the region and move us towards a moral awakening to care about the human suffering we are...

U.S. Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN) shared a post in which media personality Mehdi Hasan warned against indiscriminate killing in Gaza after Hamas launched a brutal terrorist attack against Israel, sending rockets, killing hundreds, destroying buildings and taking hostages. Rep. Omar issued a “reminder” — as the world rallies around Israel — that Gaza, from which the Hamas attacks were launched “doesn't have shelters or an iron dome” to protect civilians and, anticipating the Israel’s powerful response, she asks people to “Please pray for them.” Drawing vituperative rebuke in the comments, Omar writes: “Palestinians are human beings who have been in...

It pays to be married to the "Squad." As Democratic Reps. Ayanna Pressley (Mass.), Ilhan Omar (Minn.), and Cori Bush (Mo.) rage against capitalism from within the halls of Congress, their husbands bring home the bacon, raking in millions through consulting firms, vineyards, and private security operations. The husbands of the "Squad," who appear to be friends in their own right, have seen their financial fortunes rise in line with their wives' political stardom. Here's how they did it. Mr. Ayanna Pressley Three days before Pressley took office in January 2019, her husband, Conan Harris, left his $92,500-per-year position as...

A Democrat-led bill condemning Israel’s so-called military occupation of Palestinian lands relies on research from an Israeli-designated terrorist organization. Rep. Betty McCollum (D., Minn.), along with nearly 30 of her Democrat colleagues, introduced earlier this year the "Defending the Human Rights of Palestinian Children and Families Living Under Israeli Military Occupation Act." The legislation accuses Israel of wrongfully detaining Palestinian children and subjecting them to interrogation and imprisonment. But the bill relies heavily on research and statistics produced by Defense for Children International-Palestine (DCIP), a nonprofit group that Israel designated in 2022 as a terrorist organization. The Israeli government says...
