What I'm Reading: Ilhan Omar and No One is Above the Law

By Rich Kozlovich

I said once Trump took office and his Justice Department started investigating the corruption promulgated by Democrats, the Biden administration and Hillary's cabal, the words, "no one is above the law" would never be uttered by another Democrat for the next four years, and possibly more depending on who's elected in 2028.  

However, now its the Republican's turn, and the Democrats who chanted unendingly that “No One Is Above The Law” are outraged ....outraged I tell you!   How dare the DOJ come after a Democrat.   As you review their outrageous claims it reinforces the fact they accuse others of doing the very things they embrace and have done in the past or are doing right now.  Its called projection.  Its a primary tool of the criminal mind.  And now the one thing that almost never happens is happening now, Omar got raided by the cops, and look at who's defending her.

1.  House Democrat Leadership Defends Ilhan Omar After Raid: ‘Deeply Disturbing’ that Trump’s ‘Violent Mass Deportation Machine’ Raided Her Home - House Democrats defended Somali-born Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) after the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) conducted a pre-dawn raid of her home.....
2.  Hakeem Jeffries’ Attempt to Defend Ilhan Omar Implodes When His Own Words Get Used Against Him - Hakeem Jefferies really had it coming — and he got it.  The House minority leader has apparently gotten so used to the double standard Democratic politicians enjoy from the establishment media that he’s forgotten any other standards exist.  But when the New York Democrat issued a statement Monday supporting Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar in the face of a raid on her Washington home by federal agents, he got some brutal reminders that the rest of the country has a better memory.......
3. The Media Had a Total Meltdown Over the Ilhan Omar Raid - On Monday, Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) home was raided by federal agents. It has to do with her immigration status. Some documents are reportedly out of whack, and the timeline matters because it played a role in her naturalization process. It must be significant since a judge picked by D.C. Democrats signed off on the warrants. And raiding the home of a sitting member of Congress is a high bar, with most judges not wanting such legal tangles coming across their desks...... 
4. Unindicted Terror Co-Conspirator Groups “Stands in Solidarity” With Ilhan Omar - After decades of wildly flouting every kind of law and regulation, the law may finally be coming down on Rep. Ilhan Omar. And the Somali Islamist’s core base is standing with her. By that I mean the mainstream media and unindicted terror funding co-conspirators.
5.  Bill Kristol Urges ‘All Good Men’ to Defend Ilhan Omar - Americans should rise up in defense of Somali immigrant Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) after federal officials searched her house, says Bill Kristol, the former neoconservative and current NeverTrump leader............. 

Her defenders are radical far left Democrats, the Pravda media, a terrorist organization and worst of all, a faux conservative commentator who has lost his way and is now in the same camp as radical leftists and terrorists.  

So, is this just a political stunt, or is it as leftists are prone to say when caught up in corruption, "move on there's nothing to see here"?  Well, given her family's shady history there may well be a lot to investigate, as Glen Beck claims you don’t take her on unless you have it, and in spite of her claim of innocence saying she's being targeted because she's one of Trump's politics enemies and she's the real victim here, this investigation wasn't like the corrupt investigations by the Biden DOJ or a clever political scheme that just now popped up in some bureaucrats head.  According to Tom Homan this has been an ongoing investigation over some time, and there's a lot of smoke.  If there's a lot of smoke, there must be a fire, indicating something is seriously amiss.  

Daniel Greenfield writes there’s almost too many things to investigate Rep. Ilhan Omar for saying this was a long overdue investigation involving immigration and the amassing of a multimillion dollar fortune almost overnight.

1.  Flashback: Ilhan Omar’s Sister Incorporated Her $20 Million USAID-Linked Consulting Firm to EXACT ADDRESS as “Feeding Our Future” Somali Scammer’s Address

As this story grows even the Pravda media is backing off, admitting it's likely the DOJ has evidence of criminal fraud.  Here was Eric Utter's take on this investigation and the raid on Omar's home:

A message to the dumbocrat socialists of America, Omar should be deported. There was a signed warrant from a judge, consistent with an ongoing investigation, in this case a legitimate one, into various aspects of alleged fraud. But for far-left Democrat punks' information, the Democrats actually did raid President Trump's home, on trumped up charges. And, apparently, rifled through Melania's lingerie drawer. 

I doubt these HSI folks rifled through Ilhan's lingerie drawer -- and if they did -- I hope they were wearing hazmat suits. Moreover, President Trump did not come to this country illegally, under false pretenses. Nor did he marry a sibling. He has not been pictured with half a dozen folks involved in the most massive fraud scandal in a state's history, ala Ilhan Omar.

 He did not claim to have allegiance to Somalia and wish he could return there.   Contrast that record with the Democrat thugocracy that has lied, cheated, hoaxed, gaslit, and projected in an uninterrupted and insane attempt to depose Trump, a duly elected president twice over (remember, this is a “democracy”), every day for the last decade.

The question is can she be found guilty in today's vile system of justice that allows the worst of the worst to be found innocent of the vilest crimes and set free, or will World War Eleven Omar end up in jail, deported or both?   

Update, 10/14/26: 

1. Ilhan’s staff scrambles to change her official birthdate. - Rep. Ilhan Omar’s staff helped get her birthdate changed in public records once the Minnesota Democrat was elected to Congress in 2018, a switch that has since spurred frenzied accusations that she misrepresented her age to secure US citizenship. The alteration could offer a big clue as to what federal immigration agents were searching for when they raided her DC home Monday: If the congresswoman is actually one year older than she’s claimed to be, that would mean she couldn’t have legally become a US citizen in 2000, critics contend............
2. Nancy Mace is 100% correct about Ilhan. - All those who celebrated the raid of Mar-a-Lago don’t get to cry over the raid at Ilhan Omar’s home. Trump‘s political enemy raided his home. Democrats set the precedent.....
3. Ilhan Omar’s Father Served as a Loyal Colonel for Somalia’s Brutal Dictator and Misrepresented Himself as a “Refugee”- Federal agents from Homeland Security Investigations raided Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Washington-area home early Monday as part of an ongoing criminal fraud investigation. Sources told Fox News the probe centers on immigration paperwork filled out by her late father when she was a child. Omar called it political intimidation. The timing is ugly for her preferred story. For years she has sold America the clean version. Her father, Nur Omar Mohamed, was an educator. The family fled Somalia’s civil war with the rest of the refugees and arrived in 1995. Her 2020 memoir paints the same picture of ordinary people escaping chaos. An exclusive in the New York Post now says that version is false........
4. Ilhan Omar’s Staff Got Her Birthdate Changed Officially AFTER Being Elected to Congress -  Rep. Ilhan Omar’s staff helped get her birthdate changed in public records once the Minnesota Democrat was elected to Congress in 2018, a switch that has since spurred frenzied accusations that she misrepresented her age to secure US citizenship..........Conspiracy’ to Cover-Up Ilhan Omar’s Immigration Status Comes Up Throughout the Warrant.
5.  Not Just Immigration: Pirro Opens Probe Into Ilhan Omar’s Financial Disclosures One Day After Raid - Fox News reported that Pirro told “America Reports” her team is examining the filings that showed businesses tied to Omar’s husband, Tim Mynett, leaping from a combined high of roughly $51,000 in 2023 to as much as $30 million in 2024. The California winery eStCru LLC jumped from the $15,000–$50,000 range to $1–5 million. Rose Lake Capital LLC, the Washington venture firm, went from $1–$1,000 to $5–25 million.

Update, 10/15/26/:

1. Liberal Lawyer Obliterates the Dem Narrative That the Omar Immigration Probe Is Political- Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is in serious trouble. A judge signed off on a search warrant for her D.C. home as part of the ongoing investigation into her immigration status, which is looking fugazi: her staff falsified her date of birth, and her father lied about his refugee status — no judge signs these warrants unless the evidence is damning.   The initial liberal talking points came out strong but quickly died when we learned that the judge is a Democrat and was selected by D.C. Democrats. So, if this police action is politically motivated and fascist, it’s a bipartisan one. Also, as Jonathan Turley, a liberal law professor at George Washington Law School, pointed out, this probe into Omar’s immigration status started under Joe Biden:.......
2. Raid on Ilhan Omar's Home Spurs Renewed Effort by Dems to Abolish ICE - House Democrats are launching a renewed campaign to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) Washington, DC, home was raided this week by federal agents as part of a probe into whether or not the Somali-born congresswoman committed immigration fraud......
3. CNN Just Wrecked the Dems' Ilhan Omar Defense - The Ilhan Omar immigration story and the raid on her D.C. home didn't make the cut for some of the major networks Monday night, and we know why: there’s nothing they can use against the Trump White House. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is in serious trouble: her staff falsified her date of birth for naturalization purposes in 2018, and her father wasn’t actually a refugee.......

Update, 10/16/26:

1. CNN’s Jake Tapper Admits Ilhan Omar Should Have Turned Herself in to Biden DOJ, Legal Analyst Says Biden-Era Investigation “Undermines” Claims of Political Motivation - Tapper then suggested that Omar should have turned herself in long ago, when the Biden Administration opened an investigation into her, in order to receive a slap on the wrist.........“It’s an important point of all this: There was some investigation… that was started under the Biden administration, reopened under the Trump administration,”.......
2. 'Ilhan Omar hates America': Report claims investigation aims to denaturalize, deport lawmaker - A report is charging that the federal government's investigation of Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Somali native representing a Somali immigrant-dominated district in Minnesota, has as its goal to denaturalize and deport her. WND has reported that the Department of Justice has gone to court to revoke the citizenship of about 40 "Americans" over just the last six weeks, as authorities race toward their goal of filing 250 such cases by the end of the month.  The surge more than doubles the number of such cases that have been filed since President Donald Trump returned to office in January 2025.....
3. Biden Admin Shut Down Investigation Into Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Immigration Fraud - The corruption is even worse than we thought.   Here’s one in the Wall Street Journal’s story on the investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar’s alleged immigration fraud. Officials at Homeland Security Investigations looked into a similar tip under the Biden administration, according to people familiar with those efforts, but they decided not to move forward because they lacked evidence of fraud.  Uh-huh. Same administration that decided to aggressively pursue Trump and even track everyone who had bought a red cap........
4.  Clues - Steve Hayward’s friend David Deeble turned President Trump into Columbo and me into a clue in the curious case of Ilhan Omar. Just one more thing......."One more thing... If Ilhan Omar didn't marry her own brother then why doesn't she sue Scot Johnson for libel?".......

 Update, 10/17/26:

1. Things get tougher for Omar - Omar can’t hide behind the statute of limitations. Homeland Defense Secretary Markwayne Mullin has spoken out on a topic that has been making the rounds on social media in recent days: whether or not the statute of limitations has run on Ilhan Omar’s various offenses.   It’s a legit question on the face of it.  Omar became a “citizen,” I believe the technical term is, in 2000. So a quarter-century has elapsed, and the statute of limitations for false swearing, which I think covers it, is only five years. But it seems to me that a representative, like any other government official, repeats the claim of citizenship every time they’re sworn into office, which would effectively turn the clock back to zero. But Mullin has pretty clearly laid any such fears to rest. Along with promising that Omar will face a grand jury, he also points out that
2. Missing Ilhan’s missing defense - More dogs not barking. The Congresswoman from Minnesota hasn’t been seen in public since her DC-area home was raided by the feds back on Monday (Columbus Day). Her legal defense has also been mostly missing in action........So, Ilhan’s lawyers have seen the search warrant. At least so far, they are only challenging.......[Omar defender at the Minneapolis Star Tribune’s Rochelle Olson, says].....Trump just upped his targeting of Ilhan Omar. Now let’s see the warrant.  Olson hasn’t seen the warrant, but you know who has? Omar and her lawyers.  They aren’t, so far, demanding it be unsealed........
3. Former CIA Advisor: “The Omar Raid Is Just the Beginning” - On October 12th, federal agents raided the Washington, D.C. home of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. They came with a warrant signed by a judge. And according to Fox News, they walked out with her cellphone. But here’s what I find fascinating… The Justice Department has long followed an unwritten rule:  No big moves against a candidate in the last 60 days before an election........He says Omar won’t be the last........ 
4. BOMBSHELL: Federal Agents Went DUMPSTER DIVING to Get DNA from Ilhan Omar and Her Family Prior to Raid – Investigation Extends FAR Beyond Immigration Fraud – Likely Coming Indictments Will Be “Stunning” - Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and members of her family may be completely cooked as more shocking details have come to light following Monday’s raid on her DC home. On Friday night, NewsNation’s Leland Vittert dropped an equally big bombshell. He revealed that federal agents earlier this week literally went dumpster diving to collect DNA from Omar and her family members........

Update, 10/19/26:

1. Obama's Comments on the Ilhan Omar Situation Are Absolutely Insane - "It is a basic principle of American democracy that the government can’t selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs or what they say," Obama said on social media. "But that’s exactly what the Trump Administration is doing to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota."  Seemingly lost on Obama when he released that statement was the litany of activities his administration took to target conservatives and the Trump campaign when he was in power..........Liberal commentators are sure to dismiss the hypocrisy as (D)ifferent....... 

Update, 10/20/26:

• Is Ilhan Omar a Muslim of convenience? - Yes, and she is also an American of convenience.........Omar is clearly a Muslim of convenience. She plays to the Muslim crowd—which is her power base—by practicing adherence to Islamic principles when needed but dismissing them when it is inconvenient for her to do so in conducting her private life.  She is also an American of convenience. Despite the mandate to represent all residents within her district equally, in 2024 she proclaimed to her Somali base that her “top priority is to put Somalia first and expand its territory.” She later claimed her comment, which was conveyed in Somali, was misinterpreted; however, the Somali community got the tone of her message. ............
•  Ex-Congressional Candidate AJ Kern Claims She Holds DHS “Certificate of Non-Existence of Record” Showing NO Naturalization Records for Ilhan Omar’s Father Ever Becoming a U.S. Citizen - Former Minnesota congressional candidate AJ Kern says she possesses a Certificate of Non-Existence of Record from the Department of Homeland Security confirming that federal databases contain no naturalization records for Rep. Ilhan Omar’s late father, Nur Omar Mohamed (also referenced with variants such as Nur Said Elmi Mohamed).......

 

Ilhan Omar Met With Al Qaeda Allies on Trip Funded by Islamic Terror States

By Daniel Greenfield August 24, 2023  @ Sultan Knish Blog 

“It’s all about the benjamins,” Rep. Ilhan Omar had explained America’s support for Israel.

What’s the explanation for Omar’s support for Islamic terrorists? Considering her alleged adulterous affair with her non-Muslim chief fundraiser that broke up her marriage (he has since married her and converted to Islam) that led her father to ban her from his deathbed, it’s not as if the Somali Muslim politician from Minnesota is, despite her ritual hijab, all that devout.

Rep. Omar’s hatred for America and Jews is no doubt sincere and commonplace in her part of the world, but recent revelations have raised questions about whether ‘benjamins’ are involved.

Last year the terrorist sympathizer and her new husband jetted off to Doha for the World Cup games where she shared pictures of them posing with soccer star David Beckham and an unknown man in a burnoose. Omar offered scant further details on the trip where she was seen in the stadium with a good view of the games, but in her financial disclosure she was forced to reveal that the Qatari regime paid for her meals and hotel room.

And that a trip to Pakistan had been paid for by the Pakistani government.

Both Qatar and Pakistan are state sponsors of Islamic terrorism. Both had ties to Al Qaeda and the attacks of 9/11 which Rep. Omar had dismissed as “some people did something”.

The Pakistani government had harbored Osama bin Laden in one of its military towns and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of 9/11, had been a Qatari government employee.

During her visit, Omar met with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif who had initiated negotiations with Al Qaeda and offered to “reestablish normal relations as long as they do not conduct operations in Punjab”. Pakistan’s former ambassador to the United States had claimed that Osama bin Laden had backed Sharif’s brother. Rep. Omar also met with former Prime Minister Imran Khan, nicknamed ‘Taliban Khan’, who had referred to Bin Laden as a “martyr”.

Omar’s Qatari trip also took her into the heartland of Islamic terrorism.

The 9/11 Commission Report revealed that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed had evaded capture after the World Trade Center bombing due to the intervention of a prominent Qatari official allowing him to continue the terror plots that led to the September 11 attacks. A Times story claimed the “government of Qatar is paying millions of pounds a year to Al-Qaeda”.

Qatar hosts the Muslim Brotherhood, along with the Taliban negotiations that convinced the United States to allow the Jihadists to take over Afghanistan, and is allied with Iran. It’s also a backer of Hamas: the Muslim Brotherhood terror group responsible for the murder of Israelis.

Rep. Omar had previously been accused of serving as a Qatari asset in a Florida court case against a member of Qatar’s ruling Al-Thani family who had, according to a lawsuit, ordered murders on American soil. During the case a Kuwait-born businessman had submitted a deposition claiming that Qatari officials “recruited Ilhan Omar from even way before she thought about becoming a government official… They groomed her and arranged the foundation, the grounds, for her to get into politics way before she even showed interest.”

The politician’s office had denied the reports claiming that the “only people Rep. Omar represents in Washington are the people of Minnesota’s 5th District”.

But Minnesota’s 5th District is a long way from Qatar or Pakistan.

While Omar’s trip to Qatar was controversial because the World Cup depended on slave labor, her visit to Pakistan was even more disturbing and was condemned by India’s government.

During Rep. Omar’s trip funded by the Pakistani terrorist state, she visited parts of India’s Kashmir territory illegally occupied by the Islamic nation. India’s foreign ministry responded by accusing the radical congresswoman of “violating our territorial integrity and sovereignty.” Omar would later announce a boycott of Indian Prime Minister Modi’s speech to Congress while claiming that the leader was cracking down on the Muslims occupying India’s Kashmir area.

She met with Taliban and Al Qaeda allies in Pakistan’s political establishment and took the terror state’s side in its demands on Kashmir. According to official reports, she described her fight against “Islamophobia” with former Prime Minister Imran Khan who had utilized blasphemy laws to persecute Christians. Prime Minister Sharif, who had sought to negotiate with Al Qaeda, celebrated Omar’s “courage of convictions and her political struggle.”

Omar traveled with Tahir Javed, a Pakistani Democrat donor and deputy finance chairman of the Democratic National Committee, who is closely involved in both American and Pakistani politics, and has met with politicians from both countries including Joe Biden.

Javed, who at one point explored a congressional bid, is a supporter of Imran Khan, who had hailed Osama bin Laden as a martyr. The Pakistani businessman had hosted a fundraiser for Omar and donated to her campaign. One photo shows Javed meeting with Rep. Omar, Rep. Maxine Waters and Senator Chris Van Hollen to lobby for more aid money for Pakistan.

The DNC deputy finance chair had also hosted Hamza Yusuf, an Islamist who had defended the blind terror sheikh linked to the World Trade Center bombing. “I am a citizen of this country not by choice but by birth. I reside in this country not by choice but by conviction in attempting to spread the message of Islam in this country,” Yusuf had previously declared.

Rep. Omar is not an outlier, she’s a symptom of the subversion of her political party.

The revelation that the Pakistani government had funded Omar’s anti-India trip to a terror state and that she had been accompanied by a major donor has more than a whiff of ‘the benjamins’.

As does her glamorous trip to what critics had called the ‘World Cup of Shame’.

Supporting Islamic terrorism and undermining America comes with hotels and meals included.

Rep. Omar had dismissed the 9/11 Islamic attacks on America as “some people did something.” As revelations about terror state funding of her foreign trips continue to emerge, it seems that some people not only did something… they also paid for someone.

Daniel Greenfield Unleashed

By Rich Kozlovich 

Daniel Greenfield is a prolific writer with a keen instinct for getting to the heart of a story, and there's are reason why.  He understands clearly the left isn't just wrong, it's evil.  He understands the Democrat party is now no longer an America political party, and is called the party of treason for a reason.  He clearly understands there's a reason the Republican party is called the stupid party.  He understands clearly Islam is not a religion, it's a criminal political movement masquerading as a religion. Once all that's understood, everything else is easy to understand. Here's my latest offering of

Biden Admin Allows Chine to Fly Spy Balloon Over Montana - Two Air Force F-22 fighters scrambled before the administration decided not to shoot it down.  China knows what it’s doing. It pushes harder and harder because it knows that western nations are weak and will back down. And we never disappoint.........But don’t worry, Biden sent a strong message..........“We will be very angry. And then we will write a letter telling you how angry we are.”............

Mohamed Rapes 2 Little Girls in Minnesota, Gets Less Than a Year in Prison - He will not be required to register as a sex offender.  Technically not one of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s constituents, but just another of the gifts that resettling Minnesota with the best that Somalia has to offer has gifted America with.............At some point, the plea deal was upgraded to 176 days in prison. Or a good deal less...........

Under Islam, 7-year-olds are considered fair game, but 4-5 year olds might be a bit much, even for Mohammed, the original one, (PBUH – Pedophilia Be Upon Him) even though one account describes the  pedophile warlord marrying a little girl who played with dolls, still Mohamed, this one, has a Somali name and Somalia is the country with the tenth highest child marriage rate.  The decision to import large numbers of Somalis means we end up playing by their rules............

After FrontPageMag Report, Florida Investigates ADL’s Curriculum - The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is taking a hard look at “No Place for Hate”. In December, Front Page Magazine published an exclusive investigation of the ADL’s curriculum. “The ADL’s Racist School Curriculum Violates Florida Law,” went viral and was credited by many with helping unlock the organization’s descent into wokeness..........Now, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement has reportedly begun investigating the ADL’s “No Place for Hate” curriculum...............

Dems Embrace Omar as GOP Votes to Boot Her Over Antisemitism - “Some people did something”   After some back and forth, the House GOP voted to remove Rep. Ilhan Omar over her anti-American and antisemitic statements. The resolution mentioned Omar’s repeated smears of Jews and Israel, as well as her infamous “some people did something” response to 9/11, and her statement, “We must have the same level of accountability and justice for all victims of crimes against humanity. We have seen unthinkable atrocities committed by the U.S., Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan, and the Taliban”. Omar has made no secret of hating America and Jews. Brief efforts by moderate Dems to condemn her were quickly sidelined. And in the face of the House GOP vote, Democrats embraced her as never before. The media refused to cover Omar’s history of antisemitism and instead rebroadcast claims that sanctioning her over antisemitism is racist and Islamophobic............

Biden’s Afghan Weapons in Hands of Terror Group That Plotted U.S. Attacks - They scouted the Capitol building and killed Americans, now they have our guns.  Lashkar-e-Taiba caught the world’s attention during the Mumbai massacre in 2008 when terrorists trained by the Jihadist group funded by Osama bin Laden unleashed a wave of violence across the Indian city that killed over 150 people including six Americans. After murdering Americans and scouting potential targets in the United States, including a chemical plant and the Capitol Building, harboring the 1993 World Trade Center bombing operative and a terrorist who opened fire at CIA headquarters, the Islamic terror group is now arming its men with the weapons that Biden abandoned to the Taliban in Afghanistan...............

 

Rep. Omar Wants to Replace July 4th With Muslim Heritage Month

Daniel Greenfield  August 08, 2021 @ Sultan Knish Blog

July is when families load up screaming kids into a minivan for a road trip, when water parks overflow with the smells of cotton candy and chlorine, and Chicago shootings reach highs only previously witnessed in minor South American wars. Sprinklers rotate over dying lawns and glorious fireworks rise into the sky over a American million cities, towns and villages.

But Rep. Ilhan Omar, Rep. Rashida Tlaib, and a bunch of other leftists would like to turn July into Muslim American Heritage Month.

“As we continue to see an uptick in anti-Muslim hate, it is important we recognize the resiliency and accomplishments of Muslim Americans with a formal resolution,” Rep. Omar claimed.

Except that July was already designated the National French-American Heritage Month.

I’m not clear on what Muslim accomplishment in America took place in July (another month later in the year comes to mind), but we celebrate our revolution on July 4th and the French celebrate theirs on July 14th. The French supported our revolution and we supported theirs (at least until it turned into the orgy of social justice killings and insane decrees that leftist revolutions always degenerate into whether it’s on college campuses or in countries).

"Muslim-Americans have played a major role in shaping our nation for centuries," Rep. Andre Carson, insists. "Designating July as Muslim-American Heritage Month is a wonderful opportunity to honor the trailblazers who came before us."

Muslims played little role in America until the 1970s with the embrace of Islam by black nationalist opponents of the United States and the onset of violent terrorist attacks like the Hanafi Siege in D.C. While the next phase of the 1619 Project will no doubt produce its alternative history which will reveal that Alexander Hamilton bowed to Mecca and Dolly Madison wore a burka, there’s little doubt among sane historians that the French were here first.

There are 12 million Americans of French descent and while the last time a congressional resolution on French-American Heritage Month was passed was back in 2002, that’s because Franco-Americans are much less vocal about occupying cultural territory than Omar and Tlaib. The resolution noted that the French had established parts of the United States, that Lafayette had fought for American independence, Tocqueville had explained America, and L'Enfant had laid out Washington D.C. (3 out of 4 ain't bad). The French were here first.

Though perhaps Rep. Carson can explain more of the “major role” that Muslims played “in shaping our nation for centuries” and how it exceeds that of the role played by the French.

If it weren’t bad enough that Omar, Tlaib, and Carson were spitting in the faces of 12 million French-Americans, they’re also hijacking Disability Pride Month. The Hamas Caucus could try to move Muslim Heritage Month to June, but that’s already Gay Pride Month. And when Islam and gay people meet, the latter tend to get thrown off tall buildings and then stoned to death.

August however is pretty clear aside from being National Immunization Awareness Month.

But, much like the Ground Zero Mosque had to be near the site of the greatest impact Islam has had on shaping American history, Muslim Heritage Month has to take over July.

No other month will do.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib had already introduced a resolution for April as Arab Heritage Month where it displaced Scottish American Heritage Month. (But what contribution have the Scots ever made to America compared to the centuries of Omar and Tlaib’s shaping of the country?)

Does Tlaib really need two months or a sixth of the calendar year? Heritage months are generally ethnic, not religious. But the Hamas Caucus wants two months to start with. Having seized one month from the Scots, they’d like to hijack another one from the French.

One of them has to be about violating the separation of church and state by promoting a religion.

And hating America.

July means fireworks, barbeques, and patriotic songs. But Rep. Rashida Tlaib would like it to be about honoring "the achievements, contributions and sacrifices of Muslim Americans in the face of rising anti-Muslim hate." Or, according to Tlaib, it will “provide an opportunity to foster religious tolerance nationwide and combat misinformation directed at the Muslim community.”

Like every theme month lately, this seems destined to be another ‘America Sucks’ month. But it will come packaged with an extra share of Dawah or Islamic missionary activity while informing us that Islam has nothing to do with terrorism and anyone who disagrees should be beheaded.

Los Angeles, which rushes wokely where angels fear to tread, is already celebrating Muslim Heritage Month through its libraries with Linda Sarsour’s biography and Rep. Omar’s biography. Don’t just think of Muslim Heritage Month as displacing July 4th when it’s also a great gimmick for selling otherwise unsellable books. And even as the Taliban retake Afghanistan and prepare to put those women who took off their burkas and hijabs in their place, Muslim Heritage Month is being used to promote The Proudest Blue: A Story of Hijab and Family to small children.

Indeed, the resolution itself promotes the hijab by insisting that "women who wear the hijab, or headscarf" are discriminated against in America. The resolution then goes on to celebrate accused domestic abuser Keith Ellison and then, after appropriating July, tries to also appropriate the ice cream cone. It’s one thing to hijack the Fourth, but ice cream cones too?

“Whereas Syrian immigrant Ernest Hamwi’s invention of the ice cream cone is a practical confection with a near ubiquitous presence in American life,” the resolution falsely claims.

While the ice cream cone is indeed a most ubiquitous and practical confection, the ice cream cone was invented and patented by Italo Marchiony: an Italian-American immigrant.

First, Omar and Tlaib displaced the French and the Scots, and then the Italians.

Ernest Hamwi, a Syrian immigrant, did play a role in the ice cream business, and he patented his own cone decades later in the twenties, but he was Christian, not Muslim. Ernest was one of the many Syrian-Lebanese Christians who fled Muslim persecution and a famine to come to the United States in the beginning of the twentieth century. He married into a local American family and was buried in Valhalla Cemetery. His stepson, Arthur C. McGuffin, took over his company.

As July wanes and Omar and Tlaib try to appropriate the month and even its ice cream, replacing swimsuits with hijabs and the Declaration of Independence with the demonization of America as a racist Islamophobic society that only has two months to celebrate their heritage, instead of twelve, let’s remember the heroic American patriots who fought to keep us free.

The only heritage month we truly need is the heritage of our freedom from all tyrannies.

Including the one American soldiers were fighting from the “shores of Tripoli” in the First Barbary War of 1801 to the one that they are still fighting today against terror in our homeland.

Ilhan Omar Equates US and Israel with Hamas and Taliban. Here’s why she’s wrong.

June 9, 2021 By Robert Spencer

The fiercely patriotic and morally scrupulous Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Hypocrisy) showed yet again Monday that she is a master at appealing to the Democratic Party’s core constituency. She tweeted:

“We must have the same level of accountability and justice for all victims of crimes against humanity. We have seen unthinkable atrocities committed by the U.S., Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan, and the Taliban. I asked [Secretary of State Antony Blinken] where people are supposed to go for justice.” 

Yes, that’s right: she equated the United States and Israel, both of which go out of their way to avoid civilian casualties, with jihad terror groups that target civilians and use them as human shields. Where are people supposed to go for justice? Not to Ilhan Omar.

While it is entirely within the realm of possibility that the forces of the United States and Israel may at various times have committed “unthinkable atrocities,” there is one immediate difference between them and Hamas and the Taliban: in the U.S. and Israel, those who commit “unthinkable atrocities,” such as intentionally targeting civilians out of pure malice and hatred, with no conceivable military objective, are arrested and tried, and dishonorably discharged from the military if found guilty. 

Hamas and the Taliban, by contrast, celebrate people who target civilians among those who are considered the “enemy” as heroes. Go to Gaza, and you’ll find posters on walls celebrating jihad terrorists who murdered Israeli civilians, and streets and city squares named after the murderers.............To Read More...

Rep. Omar Ignores Her Homeland’s Crisis as UN Expresses Deep Concern

Omar’s conduct can be described in one Somalian word: Ceebta (Shameful)!

Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar is the first Somali American and African refugee in the United States Congress. She was born in Somalia’s capital Mogadishu. After spending four years in a Kenyan refugee camp to which Ilhan Omar and her family fled as Somalia descended into civil war, she and her family moved to America. They settled in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood in downtown Minneapolis, which is nicknamed “Little Mogadishu” because of its high concentration of Somali American residents. Ilhan Omar became a U.S. citizen in 2000 and was first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2018. She was re-elected in 2020.

Omar made the Palestinian issue a cornerstone of her congressional activism

Omar is a member of the House Foreign Relations Committee and has recently been named Vice Chair of the House Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health and Global Human Rights. Rather than use her prominent congressional platform to speak out on behalf of the suffering Somalian people who are not as lucky as she was to live the American dream, Omar has singled out Israel with a barrage of anti-Semitic remarks. Omar has also turned her ire here at home on America’s political and socio-economic system...........To Read More....

Omar, Tlaib and AOC Demand Facebook Remove 100% of 'Anti-Muslim Content'

Daniel Greenfield December 22, 2020

Two of the most notorious bigots in the House of Representatives signed a letter to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg demanding that he “eradicate anti-Muslim bigotry from Facebook”.

The three-page letter signed by Rep. Ilhan Omar, Rep. Rashida Tlaib, as well as 28 other left-wing House members, spends a great deal of time demanding the removal of what it calls "anti-Muslim content" without ever specifically defining it. That's convenient considering Omar and Tlaib's own history of racism and antisemitism, and support for the sorts of Islamic bigotry and violence that groups like CAIR, which supports the letter, have become known for.

The letter spotlights one violent incident, but then goes on to call for a ban on "anti-Muslim content", "anti-Muslim animus", "anti-Muslim bigotry", and finally, "anti-Muslim content and organizing" on the platform, without ever explaining what exactly they want to ban.

Considering the letter’s call for, "100 percent proactive detection and removal of anti-Muslim content", the safe assumption would be that they want to ban everything critical of Islam.

That's a disturbing attack on the First Amendment coming from 30 House members.

Democrats have repeatedly pressured Facebook and other social media companies to remove speech they politically disapprove of, whether by President Trump or other conservatives, eroding the thin line between private companies acting on their own initiative and government officials conspiring to violate the First Amendment by banning certain kinds of political speech.

After multiple hearings, legal proposals, and legislative threats, it’s no longer possible to view Facebook’s censorship of political speech as anything other than government censorship. When enough pressure by government officials has been applied to a company to censor certain kinds of speech, the company’s decision to censor speech becomes government censorship...........To Read More.....

Police Defunding, Like Communism, Can’t Fail

Daniel Greenfield December 20, 2020 @ Sultan Knish Blog

 “I guess you can use a snappy slogan, like ‘defund the police.’ But, you know, you lost a big audience the minute you say it," Barack Obama complained.

Obama was pretending that there had never been a serious push to get rid of the police, and after spending eight years mainstreaming black nationalism and the pro-crime politics of police defunding was trying to pretend it was just an edgy slogan calling for “criminal justice reform”.

That would have come as news to Minneapolis residents, the birthplace of the third wave of Black Lives Matter riots, where the city council had embraced police defunding, before backing off as the city tottered under an unprecedented wave of murders, assaults, and robberies.

"It’s not a slogan but a policy demand," Rep. Ilhan Omar, the antisemitic Islamist adultress accused of marrying her brother, snapped.

“With all due respect, Mr. President—let’s talk about losing people," Rep. Cori Bush, the latest member of the socialist squad, ranted. "It’s not a slogan. It’s a mandate for keeping our people alive. Defund the police.”

The year isn’t over yet, but murders in Minneapolis are up 62%, twice as many people, over 500, have been shot this year as in 2019, and the city is on track for 5,000 violent crimes.

A women’s shelter opposed police defunding proposals and described women sleeping with their feet to the windows out of fear that a stray bullet will strike them in the head.

“I have relived that night many times, hearing the sounds of the bullets hitting my radiator and drywall spraying everywhere,” a South Minneapolis resident told councilmembers at a hearing, and called police defunding a, “sociology experiment that obviously doesn’t work.”

But you can say the same thing about virtually any left policy from soda taxes to Communism.

Councilman Jeremiah Bey Ellison, the son of Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, argued that police defunding wasn’t working because it had never been tried. His father had previously suggested that police shouldn’t respond to rape calls. But police defunding has indeed never been properly tried because the Minneapolis City Council failed to formulate any kind of plan.

Ellison blamed the huge surge in crime, including a 537% increase in carjackings in the birthplace of police defunding, on “conventional wisdom” and the “century-long failure to create a public safety system that is not police-only.” The public safety system isn’t ‘police only’. It already includes a huge component of social services. The reason we have the police is that the billions that are already thrown at social services rarely stop crime. Billions more won’t fix it.

The obvious problem with police defunding or abolition is that its proponents have no plan for dealing with crime beyond telling victims to suck it up and offering the perps social services.

Real police defunding calls for getting rid of the police, prosecutors, and prisons, before replacing them with therapy sessions for criminals under the name ‘restorative justice’. When the godmother of police defunding tried it out with a Black Lives Matter rapist, he kept on raping.

When CNN’s Wolf Blitzer asked Minneapolis City Council President Lisa Bender who would respond to an active shooter, after repeatedly talking about replacing the police, she and her colleague responded that it would be the job of the police. There’s still no better answer.

Police defunders insist that crime is caused by an unjust society and will go away when enough money is invested into the welfare state, affirmative action, and critical race theory training.

Minneapolis Democrats can’t answer who would deal with an active shooter because their ideology tells them that active shooters won’t exist once they finish reforming society. This is a familiar enough argument from leftists explaining how Communism was going to function. Those same theoreticians would then go on to explain that real Communism had never been tried.

The Soviet Union, Castro’s Cuba, and Maoist China, were never true Communism.

The advocates of police defunding will go on holding up their imaginary utopia as an ideal while claiming that like Communism, it never failed because it had never been properly implemented.

Even if some city is insane enough to actually abolish the police and prisons, and put the entire budget into social services, it still won’t be enough because the entire system will still be centering whiteness. Get rid of all the white people and there’ll be internalized whiteness.

And defunding advocates, like Omar, Tlaib, and Bush, will go on arguing that it was never tried.

But no city will go that far. There are police union contracts and chambers of commerce to contend with. Instead police budgets will be cut leading to limited enforcement and crime spikes. That’s already underway in Minneapolis and in cities across the country. The police will keep their heads down until, as in Minneapolis, public outrage leads politicians to ask for their help.

America has been living on this policy seesaw for seventy years, as cities switched between permissive pro-crime policies to crackdowns on criminals without learning from the past. Once crime is under control, the pro-crime arguments about brutal police and the cost of mass incarceration start sounding reasonable to people who forgot what living with crime is like.

But the idea that crime springs from an unjust society, instead of a tainted mind, will never die.

Police defunding shows why a fundamentally stupid idea that is at the root of our social problems won’t go away because, like most utopian nonsense, it can’t be disproven. Or at least it can’t be disproven to the satisfaction of the sorts of lefties who look at millions dead in Russia and China, or a double-digit rise in homicide rates in major American cities, and shrug.

It hasn’t really been tried. Not properly. This time it’ll work.

Criminal justice is one of those areas where there’s a fundamental philosophical difference about the nature of humanity that translates into completely incompatible policies. The fundamental question here is the familiar one of free will. Are criminals free agents or victims?

Asking Minneapolis Democrats who supported police defunding what they plan to do about an active shooter is a meaningless question within their ideological frame of reference because it presupposes that the active shooter has free will and can be stopped by direct intervention. In their holistic view of society, violence causes violence, and the active shooter only exists because we have armed police, fight wars, and let little boys play ‘cops and robbers’.

But that’s much the same answer you get when asking a leftist why there’s alcoholism, wars, or hurricanes. The messianic response in all cases is that these are problems caused by society that will go away when lefties are given enough power to fundamentally transform society.

You don’t give political power to people who think that way or ask them to solve any problems.

Abolishing the police, like abolishing rent, student loans, free speech, religion, and private property, all ideas currently being advocated by the American Left, is just another way of saying that all of our problems are caused by society and will go away when our society goes away.

Police defunding, like Soviet collective farms or socialized medicine, is only the latest lunatic leftist proposal to run aground on the shores of reality while being defended as untested.

The police can never be defunded. They must exist, if only to arrest people who erase Black Lives Matter graffiti or fill in ponds on their own property, and their existence keeps police defunding alive as an enlightened ideal that has never been truly implemented. Like abolishing private property, its absurd impossibility makes it compelling, and keeps the nightmare alive.

Every now and then another attempt will be made to defund the police, leading to hundreds and thousands of deaths, and more assaults, robberies, and rapes than even the FBI can count. Like the Soviet Union or the Minneapolis City Council, the whole thing will fall apart on its own, but its memory will linger as an inspiration to the next bunch of radicals who will try it again.

And the bodies of the people sacrificed to that experiment will linger, forgotten, in cemeteries.

AOC, Omar, and Squad Want to Free 500,000 Fat Criminals

Daniel Greenfield   December 15, 2020  @ Sultan Knish Blog 

Obese rapists, insane serial killers, and child molesters over 55 years old could be on the loose in your neighbrohood if the Squad’s latest social justice bill becomes law.

The bill to free all the fat criminals, sponsored by Rep. Tlaib, Rep. Lee, and Rep. Pressley, and co-sponsored by Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, Rep. Omar, and eight other Democrats, and endorsed by Black Lives Matter, calls for a mass jailbreak to protect criminals from the coronavirus.

The existing wave of coronavirus criminal releases already helped boost crime rates in major cities with double digit increases in homicides. Robberies have shot up like a rocket with criminals stealing cars and looting businesses while knowing they won’t be jailed.

But that’s not enough for the Squad. They want to free all the criminals. Especially the fat ones.

The Dismantle Mass Incarceration for Public Health Act, introduced by Rep Tlaib, would “require States and units of local government to certify a commitment to release certain individuals from jails and prisons” and their list includes anyone who’s over 55 years old, unhealthy, or obese.

Or as the bill puts it, has been “diagnosed with obesity”.

According to the Department of Health and Human Services, anyone with a body mass index (BMI) of 30.0 qualifies as obese. That means a 5'6 rapist who weighs 187 pounds, a 5'8 mugger who clocks in at 200 pounds, or one of those fabled 6'0 and 225 pound gentle giants specializing in home invasions would all be considered obese and in need of immediate release.

The official obese ranking doesn’t actually mean fat. The criminals that Tlaib, AOC, Omar, Lee, and Pressley want to unleash on communities already swimming in a wave of horrifying crimes are above a recommended healthy height to weight ratio. But maybe a good exercise regimen of muggings, carjackings, and sexual assaults will get them back to their fighting weight.

How many criminals would this actually set loose?

DOJ statistics show that about half of federal and state inmates have some sort of chronic condition: 15% have asthma, 10% have heart problems, and 9% have diabetes. All of these conditions are on the Squad’s jailbreak bill’s release list. With over 2 million prison inmates, if these statistics hold up, between 200,000 to 680,000 criminals could be set loose.

But wait.

The majority of prisoners, 74%, were overweight, obese, or morbidly obese. Over a quarter hit the obese BMI numbers. That would mean freeing at least half a million fat criminals.

In addition to freeing fat criminals, Squad members also want to free “seniors”. And by “seniors” they mean any criminal who has at least reached the tender age of 55 years old.

The unabomber, the BTK killer, and the Son of Sam, all of whom are still in prison today, and over the age of 55, would qualify. Sadly Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, and Jeffrey Dahmer are no longer alive to take advantage of Tlaib, AOC, and Pressley’s generous offer to free them all.

Even those serial killers who aren’t over 55 could take advantage of the mentally ill clause.

Fat rapists and pedophiles in their fifties are supposedly more at risk from the virus, but why are depressed muggers, anxious con artists, and schizophrenic serial killers more at risk?

This isn’t about saving criminals from an imaginary threat. Socialists like freeing criminals. Stealing private property and terrorizing the public is just socialism by another name.

In addition to freeing all fat criminals, any criminal over the age of 55, and crazy criminals, the Tlaib, Pressley, and Lee bill would also free any criminals who have moderate asthma or diabetes, or can be considered diabled. Since the disabled category covers everything from back injuries to depression to irritable bowel syndrome to dermatitis, that’s a free pass.

Some 30% of criminals in federal and state prisons reported hypertension. That alone would release 600,000 criminals from prison. At this rate a criminal would have to work not to be freed.

The Squad bill also provides for freeing any criminal whom a review board determines is "unlikely to pose a substantial risk of causing bodily injury or using violent force against another individual". That would cover any inmates who weren’t convicted of physical assault.

And that would free all the thieves, robbers, drug dealers, and looters.

Countless criminals have already been freed under this category to protect them from the virus leading to plenty of violent assaults even though the criminals were said to be low risk. Not to mention massive amounts of robberies, car thefts, and the wave of Black Lives Matter looting.

Even the most modest estimates of the criminal population released would be a million.

The Dismantle Mass Incarceration for Public Health Act would also free all illegal aliens being held on an ICE detainer because not all criminals can be considered free until the violent illegal aliens being held for deportation are also released to rob, beat, and kill Americans.

How long would AOC, Omar, and Tlaib like the country's criminals to be roaming the street? The bill would apply until the President declares the "end of the COVID-19 national emergency".

Americans get two national emergencies for the price of one. If the coronavirus doesn’t get you, the criminals freed by AOC, Omar, Tlaib, Lee, Pressley, and other House Democrats will.

Democrats and their media have spent the duration of the pandemic shouting that prison inmates were most at risk of catching the virus and had to be freed immediately. If they had dedicated a fraction of the same effort to protecting another vulnerable institutionalized population, nursing home residents, the pandemic death toll would be a fraction of what it is.

Instead, New York, California, and other states freed massive numbers of criminals to protect them from the virus, while forcing nursing homes to take in infected patients resulting in the deaths of tens of thousands of nursing home residents. The Democrats who claimed that keeping inmates locked up would be a death sentence, delivered an actual death sentence.

And the Democrats are still shouting we have to save the criminals before they all die.

“This pandemic should not be a death sentence for anyone,” Rep. Tlaib clamored.

"This virus should not be, and doesn’t have to be, a death sentence for incarcerated individuals," Rep. Lee whined.

So far 149 federal inmates, out of 124,538 total, have died from the virus.

Or as CBS News called the 100th federal prison death back in July, a "grim milestone".

The Los Angeles Times breathlessly reported last month that the 79th prison inmate had died of the virus in California. As of now, the number appears to be up to 88. Another “grim milestone”.

 

The Chicago Sun Times agonized last month that an 8th inmate had died in the Cook County jail from the virus. That’s a weekend’s worth of shootings in Chiraq by the same cast of criminals that Illinois and Cook County had dumped back on the streets to rob, rape, and kill.

More people get shot in Chicago by criminals in one weekend than the total number of criminals who have died of the virus in custody. Since many of the victims are also criminals, if the Democrats were really concerned about keeping them safe, they would keep them locked up.

Criminals are much less likely to die of coronavirus than of a bullet. Keep them safe behind bars.

The entire prison coronavirus hoax has led to countless people being killed, raped, and robbed by a rampaging population of criminals who were set loose to keep them safe from the virus.

AOC, Tlaib, Omar, and the rest of the gang want to multiply that by ten thousand times.

Murder rates are already doubling in some places. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Rep. Omar, Rep. Tlaib, and other Democrats want to see them increase a thousandfold. Even as some Democrats claim that they want to back away from pro-crime policies like police defunding, plenty of Democrats, not just the Squad, are happy to propose freeing a million criminals.

And that’s not going to change until Republicans actually tell the public what’s at stake.

The Democrat Party is Getting Rid of the Jews

Kamala Harris, who defended Omar’s Jew-hate, could sit in the Oval Office.

Daniel Greenfield Aug 13, 2020

The Democrat primaries are sweeping around the nation and leaving behind fewer Jewish Democrats in public office and more antisemitic radicals sitting in the House of Representatives.
Rep. Ilhan Omar and Rep. Rashida Tlaib both survived challenges from better qualified African-Americans because they enjoyed the backing of the Democrat establishment.

Despite her antisemitic rhetoric, a habit that Omar continued during the primary, she got the endorsement of Speaker Pelosi. The top elected Democrat official also endorsed Tlaib.
After Omar’s first round of antisemitic remarks, Senator Kamala Harris defended the racist politician against her Jewish critics by warning “that the spotlight being put on Congresswoman Omar may put her at risk.”

Omar’s antisemitism wasn’t threatening Jews, but Jewish protests were threatening the bigot.
Then Harris insisted that, “there is a difference between criticism of policy... and anti-Semitism."
The California politician didn’t bother to explain how Omar’s antisemitic tropes were mere policy......... To Read More....

It's Not My Fault, It's Not My Fault, It's Not My Fault! It's the Jews!

By Rich Kozlovich 

I love quoting Alfonso Bedoya in the 1948 movie The Treasure of Sierra Madre:

"Badges,  Badges? We ain't got no Badges! We don't need no Badges! I don't have to show you any stinking badges!"

But that line came from the 1927 book of the same name.  The original line was slightly different.  The line is far more crude, for which I apologize, but I think far more appropriate to the views and character of the people outlined in this piece.  Here is the original line:

"Badges, to god-damned hell with badges! We have no badges. In fact, we don't need badges. I don't have to show you any stinking badges, you god-damned cabrón and chinga tu madre!"

On February 22, 2020 Andrea Widburg published an article entitled, For Ilhan Omar, the best defense is always...anti-Semitism saying:

On Thursday, Britain's Daily Mail ran a story that America's media have refused to cover: the strong evidence that Ilhan Omar married her own brother, Ahmed Elmi, in order to commit immigration and student loan fraud. Omar's first response was precisely what everyone expected: she claimed anti-Muslim hate speech.

She went on to say: 

By Friday, though, Omar had escalated her rhetoric, not directly but by proxy. She retweeted a post from Humans 4 Human Rights asserting that any challenge to Omar is a Zionist conspiracy.

But did she do what they said she did?  One of the things none of her supporters want to acknowledge, nor do they want anyone else to ask is this.  Did she do what they claim she did!  Has she illegally gamed the American system?  That's the only issue at stake here.  Period! 

The author goes on to say:

The problem with having Omar in Congress isn't just her socialism, no matter how terrible an idea socialism is. Instead, it's her blatant, unrelenting hatred for America and American values.

One expects a person who was welcomed here as a refugee and reached one of the highest pinnacles in the land to show at least smidgen of gratitude...but not Omar. She's the bad guest who moves in and then tries to burn down the house and then tries to burn down the neighbor's house, too.

This idea that blaming racism or Islamophobia is at the heart of the attack may sound great, but factually disputing these criminal claims would be far more effective.  These kind of leftist excuses, logical fallacies, obfuscations of the facts and justifications are always at the heart of the left's  arguments. Not facts, emotion!    

Do what ever it takes to avoid dealing with the facts!  Divert, dilute, and impute the integrity of others, especially the Jews.   "I'ts not my fault, it's the Jews!  And I don't need no stinking facts." 

Paraphrasing the original quote at the start of this piece is appropriate here:

"Facts, to god-damned hell with facts! We have no facts. In fact, we don't need facts. I don't have to show you any stinking facts, it's the god-damned stinking Jews fault. "

Spewing out anti-Semitic swill doesn’t distract from the presented facts, which at this point clearly show she factually did what they said she did.  And until she and her supporters can come up with a factual refutation, what she did was illegal!

Why is that so hard to grasp?
