Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar blamed an accounting “discrepancy” for errors in a financial disclosure that listed her net worth at up to $30 million – while doubling down that she is not a millionaire, a report said. The lefty “Squad” lawmaker – facing fraud probe calls from President Trump – insisted the initial figures in a disclosure filed last May were completely off-base, as an amended filing now shows shared assets with her husband of up to just $95,000, according to The Wall Street Journal. “The amended disclosure confirms what we’ve said all along: The congresswoman is not a millionaire,”...

In Minnesota, Scott Dexter, who worked as an investigator at the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) from 2013 to 2019, drew attention to widespread fraud in the Minnesota welfare system, saying "the very first daycare that we investigated had received about $3.75 million in one year, and so it was obvious that they were committing fraud. Daycare centers were operating out of commercial spaces with windows covered, no visible play areas, and very few children ever present. We documented patterns of over-billing, nonexistent attendance, and children being signed in for hours they were never actually at the center." "Unfortunately,...

Could Marco Rubio be the one to take down the woke and seemingly untouchable Rep. Ilhan Omar? He seems to think that $40 million fortune of hers came from something different than wine sales from her winery. [X post at link] Which is shockingly direct. Usually, they don't state things so directly. But if it's true that Omar ran a pay-to-play refugee operation, it would surely be illegal. And who would be in a position to know this better than Rubio who runs the Department of State and all its adjacents? With a confident tweet like that, it seems likely...

After official confirmation that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) did, in fact, commit immigration fraud, the Republic of Somaliland — which has good reason to be bitter at the crimes of Omar and her Somali family — offered to be the hammer of justice if the United States would extradite Omar there. The tantalizing offer comes after Vice President Vance confirmed on Benny Johnson’s show what many of us have thought of Omar for a long time — there is, in fact, solid evidence that the radical Islamist member of Congress committed immigration fraud. “We actually think that Ilhan Omar definitely...

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.

Far-left “Squad” Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) were among dozens of House Democrats this week that voted against reaffirming Iran as the “largest state sponsor of terrorism.” The resolution, introduced by Rep. Brian Mast (R-Fla.), passed in a 372-53 vote Thursday, with only Democrats opposing the nonbinding measure – which also declared that Iran “provides substantial financial and military support to groups including Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis.” Lefty Reps. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), Summer Lee (D-Pa.), Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) and Al Green (D-Texas), along with New York’s Yvette Clarke and Nydia Velázquez, were among...

In his state of the union speech, President Trump asked members of Congress to stand to show their support for the concept that "the first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens." While the Republican contingent had no qualms about acknowledging this responsibility, not a single Democrat did. In the Democratic response delivered by Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D-Va), she pointed out that "American citizens are among the wealthiest in the world. They are capable of protecting themselves. There are billions of folks in other countries who need America's help. Former President Biden invited tens of millions of...

Representative Ilhan Omar has criticized the Trump administration over concerns that it may attack Iran during Ramadan, the ninth and holiest month of the Islamic lunar calendar.

Certainly by now there must be one or more summaries published, applicable to Rep. Ilhan Omar, of allegations that could lead to Omar's de-naturalization with regard to citizenship. We are looking for such summaries. We believe the allegation that Ilhan Omar and a blood brother of hers did apply for a marriage license and did follow through with a filing of a certificate of marriage, and that they did so to commit immigration fraud, allowing Ilhan a residence status in the United States. So, marrying her own brother for the purpose of committing immigration fraud would be one item in...

WASHINGTON — Aliyah Rahman, a Minnesota woman whom Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., took as her guest to the State of the Union address Tuesday, needed hospital treatment after she was arrested during the speech, Rahman and Omar said. Rahman silently stood up during the part of President Donald Trump’s speech in which he called on Democrats to restore funding for the Department of Homeland Security. The people around her remained seated. When U.S. Capitol Police approached and asked Rahman to sit down, she refused. During her conversation with Capitol Police officers, the crowd around her gave a standing ovation, which...

President Donald Trump unleashed on Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), after they heckled him in his State of the Union address, saying they should be institutionalized or deported. Omar and Tlaib were two of the most outspoken members of the audience during the State of the Union, throwing curses and insults at the president throughout. Trump responded directly in a colorful post on Truth Social, deriding their performance and calling for harsh action against them. “When you watch Low IQ Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, as they screamed uncontrollably last night at the very elegant State of...

Muslima Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN) shouted at President Trump during his State of the Union Address on Tuesday evening. The camera panned over to Ilhan Omar as President Trump called out Somali pirates and fraud rings in Minnesota. Omar was on the verge of tears as President Trump called out Somalia for its corruption. “If you agree with this statement, stand up to show your support: The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens,” Trump said. Republicans stood up and cheered while many Democrats remained seated. President Trump lambasted the Democrats for refusing...

Democratic “squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar needs to be investigated for filing “misleading disclosures” to Congress regarding her husband’s $30 million net worth, according to a government watchdog. The National Legal and Policy Center, a conservative nonprofit based in Virginia, wants the Office of Congressional Conduct to “immediately” investigate Omar’s disclosures which showed her third husband Tim Mynett’s assets explode in worth from 2023 to 2024, according to the complaint. According to paperwork she filed to Congress, Mynett went from being worth just over $51,000 one year to nearly $30 million the next. “The information in Omar’s financial disclosures, and her...

Besides scrutiny from the feds, Rep. Ilhan Omar’s husband’s winery could land the embattled power couple in hot water with imams too. Political consultant Tim Mynett converted to Islam to marry Omar, a practicing Muslim — but selling booze is strictly banned in Islamic law, which considers anything to do with alcohol sinful — or “haram.” “I assure you that they got married in accordance with Islam and the law, and Ilhan’s husband converted to Islam,” a spokesperson for Omar’s office told BBC Somalia at the time of the 2020 wedding. It was Mynett’s California-based wine company eStCru, together with...

A man charged with assaulting U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar at a town hall meeting will remain in custody, following a ruling from a federal judge on Tuesday. Anthony Kazmierczak, 55, was charged last week with allegedly approaching Omar while she was speaking during a town hall and spraying her with liquid from a syringe. A lab analysis found it was likely apple cider vinegar, though that wasn’t known at the time of the incident. Court documents allege that Kazmierczak has a history of social media posts critical of Omar. In a hearing before a federal judge Tuesday, prosecutors with Minnesota’s...

A man seated in the front row sprayed Omar’s chest with a syringe-like device lunging at her from his seat before being detained by law enforcement. Forensic investigators determined the substance was apple cider vinegar in the following hours, according to KARE, a local Minneapolis outlet. Omar’s office said in a statement the lawmaker “is okay” and continued her town hall “because she doesn’t let bullies win.” Authorities took the man into
