“Imagine what it would do for our country and those who live here if we were to take the ethos behind the original G.I. Bill and apply it to everybody — canceling all student debt and making public colleges, universities, and vocational schools tuition-free,” she tweeted Thursday

Rep. Rashida Tlaib said she and Rep. Ilhan Omar had to hold hands at points during President Trump's State of the Union address to comfort each other. "It think was a huge struggle for me because I don't think people realize its worse in - when you're actually there," the Michigan Democrat said at an event with Rep. Ilhan Omar about listening to the address. "No, it really is, it actually - there was moments of triggering, and I kept holding your hand," Tlaib said, looking at Omar. "And we intentionally sat next to each other to support each other."...

Rep. Ilhan Omar is once again sparking questions of why she is serving in the United States Congress and being paid by American taxpayers. The Minnesota Democrat was trashing the U.S., to enthusiastic applause, at a Democracy Now! and Rising Majority event in Washington, D.C. on Friday. **SNIP** The two progressive members of the so-called “squad” blamed America for all of the world’s ills and the far-left activists in the audience ate it all up. “We’re having a conversation about cross-border negotiations happening for workers because all of our destinies are tied together. When you see a Somali refugee, or...

Rep. Ilhan Omar’s ex-husband learned of her alleged affair with her chief fundraiser when he walked in on the two lounging around her apartment in pajamas — and the jilted hubby will be paid tens of thousands of dollars to stay silent, according to a report. Ahmed Hirsi made the shocking discovery last spring, during a surprise visit to his then-wife’s Washington, DC apartment from Minnesota, where he was living with their three children, the Daily Mail reported. “It’s wasn’t that he actually caught them in bed,” a source told the Mail of Hirsi walking in on Omar and her...

Rep. Ilhan Omar is a “sex maniac” who is “very weak when it comes to money and sex,” according to a Canadian businessman and Qatari insider who swore in an affidavit that the Minnesota congresswoman is a paid Qatari asset. We are here to report the facts that were put out and to report that Ilhan Omar denied the allegations. Bender indicated that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is a paid Qatari agent, and that she can be easily bribed with sex and money, so much so that described her as a “sex maniac” and “very weak when it comes to...

by Sheri Urban According to a new bombshell report, Omar’s campaign has been paying $250,000 to her ex, Ahmed Hirsi, for his silence on her affair with D.C. political consultant Tim Mynett. Federal Election Commissions records also show that Omar’s campaign has paid Tim Mynett’s fundraising company $500,000 in the last year alone. This is NOT the kind of scrutiny Omar wants, since the FBI announced it was investigating criminal allegations against her.

Ilhan Omar has not been very forthcoming about her marriages or her love life. This is understandable for any politician. But for Omar, questions continue to swirl around not only her ex-husband, Ahmed Hirsi, but also her lover, Tim Mynett. This is especially relevant after Omar paid Mynett's consulting company half a million dollars in 2019. According to the Daily Mail, Mynett had been married to a 55-year-old woman before divorcing her in August 2019. In divorce papers filed by Dr. Beth Mynett, she claimed the 38-year-old Mynett informed her in April of his affair and moved out the next...

Rep. Ilhan Omar, whose family secrets are more closely guarded than the president's nuclear codes, will apparently go to extraordinary lengths to keep the truth about her marriages from the national press and her constituents. The Daily Mail reports that someone has finally come forward to confirm what others -- including PJ Media's own David Steinberg -- have been reporting for years: that Omar married her brother in order to pull a scam on immigration authorities. It's complicated, but the bottom line is that someone who knows is talking on the record. Abdihakim Osman is the first person to go...

In 2004, the Chicago Tribune referred to her as “the most watched TV reporter nobody in America has seen,” and this turn-of-phrase seemed stunningly apt. Baghdad-born Dalia al-Aqidi was 36, and a fixture of Middle East media. In sharp contrast to programming on Qatar’s popular Al-Jazeera, Dalia was a leading voice on Alhurra, an American-sponsored television channel broadcasting in the Middle East and delivering a strongly pro-America message. ... Following her escape from Iraq, al-Aqidi traveled throughout the Middle East with her mother and infant brother, doing an eclectic mix of paid media stints, including hosting children’s shows, reporting news,...

One of at least eight candidates aiming to unseat U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., gave a brief reply this week after Omar posted six ways that she identifies herself. “I am an American,” wrote Republican Dalia al-Aqidi, a former Iraqi refugee who hopes to replace Omar in representing Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District. “That’s why I’m running for Congress,” al-Aqidi added. The response came shortly after Omar’s Twitter message late Sunday, in which the freshman congresswoman listed ways that she describes herself. “I am, Hijabi, Muslim, Black, Foreign born, Refugee, Somali,” Omar wrote. Then, appearing to provoke her critics, Omar added,...

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) is offering a first glimpse at her forthcoming memoir, which she promises will include details of her "disappointments, failures, successes, sacrifices [and] surprises." The book's publisher, Dey Street Books, called the upcoming release an "inspiring coming of age story of a refugee." Omar, the first Somali American member of Congress, came to the U.S. as a refugee at the age of 12. The 38-year-old lawmaker is also one of the first two Muslim women to serve in Congress, along with Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.). "This is What America Looks Like" is poised to be released on...

'Squad' congresswoman Ilhan Omar told friends years ago that the man who went on to become her second husband was in fact her brother, DailyMail.com can confirm. And now for the first time one of those friends has come forward to reveal exactly how Omar and Ahmed Elmi scandalized the Somali community in Minneapolis. Abdihakim Osman is the first person to go on record to speak of how Omar said she wanted to get her brother papers so he could stay in the United States, at a time when she was married to her first husband Ahmed Hirsi. But hardly...

WASHINGTON, DC — The Federal Bureau of Investigation is reviewing claims Rep. Ilhan Omar married her brother, The Post has learned. Two FBI agents held an hours-long meeting in Minnesota in mid-October with a concerned party who handed over a trove of documents regarding Omar’s 2009 marriage to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, a source with knowledge of the event said. At the meeting, first reported by website The Blaze, the agents discussed concerns the Somali-born Democrat married Elmi, a British citizen rumored to be her brother, so he could obtain a green card and study in America, the source said.

Former DOJ official David Kris was picked Friday to oversee the FBI’s reforms of its surveillance procedures in the wake of a damning inspector general’s report. Kris was an ardent defender of the FBI’s surveillance of Carter Page. He was also a vocal critic of Republicans who suggested the FBI misled the surveillance court in its applications to wiretap Page. In one essay, Kris endorsed a suggestion that Rep. Devin Nunes should face obstruction of justice charges. Nunes told the Daily Caller News Foundation the choice of Kris is “shocking and inexplicable.” former Justice Department official picked Friday to oversee...

A teenager has spoken about the sickening sexual abuse she suffered at the hands of her dad from the age of just six-years-old. Shannon Clifton was raped by the man who was supposed to protect her and has had his baby but now she wants to help others see "the light at the end of the tunnel". Her evil dad Shane Ray Clifton sexually abused and raped her for eight years until she was 14, sometimes up to four times a day, reports Derbyshire Live. At the age of 13 Shannon, who grew up in Chaddesden, gave birth to his...

The idea of 2020 hopefuls Joe Biden or Pete Buttigieg facing off against President Trump next November would be a tragedy as the Democratic party continues to forge ahead without a true frontrunner, Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., said during a Thursday interview with The Intercept’s “Deconstructed” podcast. Omar was asked about the field of 2020 candidates and whether she preferred Biden or Buttigieg. She answered, “None,” before characterizing their hypothetical nominations as “tragic.” Host Mehdi Hasan asked.“But if you had to pick one? If one of them is the candidate for your party, who would you rather it be?” Omar...

The legal husband of U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and the father of her three children, Ahmed Hirsi, has confirmed to friends that the congresswoman married her brother in a fraudulent immigration scheme, according to sources who spoke to Powerline blogger Scott Johnson. Hirsi has said, however, that he did not know at the time that Omar was married to her brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, Johnson wrote Tuesday.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Friday the U.S.-Israel relationship can withstand the “weakness” of President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who shook diplomatic norms this week in barring two members of Congress from visiting the country. Pelosi told The Associated Press that the “weakness of Netanyahu and the weakness of Donald Trump combined” into a policy that’s “a no.” “We have a deep relationship and long-standing relationship with Israel that can withstand Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu,” Pelosi said. “We cannot let their weaknesses stand in the way of our ongoing relationship.” She said the U.S. commitment to...

Trans and LGBTQIAP activists will tell you that you have no right to question their ideology or actions. They are the keepers of the new and unassailable religion. Their religion is called Queer Theory and it’s adherents are radical misogynistic zealots that have created their own queer caliphate. Their god is perversity, transgender “women” are their high priestesses, and drag queens are their temple dancers. At their unholy altar of misogyny they sacrifice the dignity of women and sexualize children in their pedophilic fantasies. American women need to wake up and realize that Queer-Marxists are doing everything they can to...

The Democratic Party press is desperately trying to cover up for Ilhan Omar. Perhaps the most laughable example is the New York Times, whose “fact check” I intend to write about later, when I have time. But the coverup is, I think, hopeless. Hundreds of thousands of people have read the post we did yesterday morning authored by David Steinberg. It is everywhere on Twitter and Facebook and has been linked by any number of popular web sites, most recently Real Clear Politics. The Democratic Party press is averting its eyes, but they can’t keep the secret. Last night, Tucker...
