Ilhan Omar

Arrested in Mogadishu

Featured image It would seem that Minnesota leads the nation in the production of international fugitives from justice. From the FBI’s Minneapolis field office, Our Burnsville Man was apprehended in Mogadishu, Somalia, after more than four years on the run from federal fraud charges. There is probably a Netflix miniseries embedded in that last sentence. Eidleh is Defendant No. 2 (out of 80) in the sprawling Feeding Our Future scandal, and is »

Omar Changes Her Mind

Featured image A year ago, Ilhan Omar’s official ethics filings showed a meteoric rise in her net worth, from close to zero to as much as $30 million. Her husband, she explained, was a high-flying investor through his company Rose Lake Capital, and a winery owner. But now the mighty have fallen. Omar’s net worth is back down to less than zero and husband Tim Mynett is more or less unemployable: Scandal-scarred »

The word from Aimee Bock

Featured image As I have noted a time or two before, Aimee Bock will be sentenced by Judge Nancy Brasel this Thursday. Bock is the convicted ringleader of the massive Feeding Our Future fraud. Awaiting sentencing, Bock is cooling her heels at present in the Sherburne County Jail. The Star Tribune’s Jeffrey Meitrodt caught up with Bock for this past Sunday’s disgraceful “new documents” story. The New York Post has joined in »

The Ilhan Omar dodge

Session Daily reports, A rarely used legislative tactic will not occur in the final 12 days of this year’s session.

Omar’s whinery

Featured image I am more familiar with Ilhan Omar’s whinery than her winery, or her former winery. Her whinery is a permanent feature. I recently quoted my close encounter with it in the Washington Free Beacon column “Yes, Ilhan Omar married her brother.” To adapt the lyrics of the old blues song, she’s the whinin’ girl, don’t you deny her name. As for the winery, the New York Post covers the story »

A tough week for Ilhan Omar

Featured image It all began to unravel last Friday (April 17), when the Wall Street Journal reported that the Minnesota congresswoman’s net worth had plummeted in less than a year from as much as $30 million to less than $100,000. Oof. On Monday, the Journal followed up on their news item with an opinion piece. On Tuesday, Rep. Omar had a much-reported-on run-in with a reporter in the hallway in Congress. Also »

Ilhan Omar’s rags to riches to rags story

Featured image We were hoping that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MPLS) would have made an appearance at yesterday’s meeting of the Minnesota state House Fraud prevention committee. The timing would have been fantastic, as the story of her 3,500 percent “accounting error” that reduced her net worth from $30 million to a mere $95,000 continues to reverberate. She had been invited to attend, but did not respond and did not appear or send »

All the news that’s fit to bury

Featured image Would you click on a story with this headline? Rep. Ilhan Omar updates financial disclosure form, citing accounting error. Financial disclosure, accounting error…I’ve already fallen asleep before I get to the first sentence, which reads, Rep. Ilhan Omar has amended her financial disclosure forms to show she does not have as much money as previously suggested in recent congressional filings. It’s only later that the Minneanpolis Star Tribune manages to »

TMZ reports on Ilhan Omar’s non riches

Featured image No, really! The celebrity gossip platform TMZ took notice of Ilhan Omar’s ridiculous 3,500 percent accounting error under the headline, My Accountant Made Me Rich on Accident!!! As you will recall, the Wall Street Journal first reported on the story where the Minnesota congresswoman blames her accountants for reporting that she and her (third) husband, Tim Mynett, were worth up to $30,000,000, when their combined net worth tops out at »

Poor little rich girl

Featured image Ilhan Omar was never really a multi-millionaire, you see. It was all just an accounting error, you understand. Instead of her household (including her third and current husband) being worth between $8 million and $30 million, they are worth a mere $18,o00 to $95,000. On the high end, that’s an estimate off by 99.7%. I say those accountants should be fired. Then again, no one truly worth less than $100,000 »

What is Vance talking about?

Featured image Responding to a question about Ilhan Omar’s marriage to her brother, Vice President Vance announced that he “definitely” believes Omar committed immigration fraud and that the administration is actively looking into legal remedies: So we actually think that Ilhan Omar definitely committed immigration fraud against the United States of America,” Vance said. “And I talked to [White House deputy chief of staff] Stephen Miller about this actually recently.

Proof

Featured image Star Tribune Washington reporter Sydney Kashiwagi reported in the paper’s March 17 Morning Hot Dish newsletter: Zeroing in on Omar once again. Trump especially fixated on Omar during his announcement [of a fraud task force], elevating the unproven claim that she married her brother and committed immigration fraud and is thus “here illegally and she’s a congresswoman.” Trump urged Vance and members of the task force to look into the »

Today in Minnesota Fraud

Featured image Yes, it’s back in the headlines. From Fox News, Minnesota Fraud Exposed New audit exposes flawed system critics say let Minnesota fraud slip through cracks: ‘Didn’t act for years’ Long story short: the state’s Dept. of Human Services refused to investigate reports of kickbacks to “client” families paid by vendors in the state’s billion-dollar autism therapy program because…reasons.

The Left Betrays Iran, and the United States

Featured image There are not words violent enough to express my disdain for the liberals (and handful of purported conservatives) who care nothing for the security of the United States, let alone the future of the Iranian people or the prospect of peace in the Middle East. They care only about their own political power and their obsessive hatred of President Trump. So I am going to post this tweet by an »

Something happening here

Featured image The Trump administration is looking at the issues implicated in Ilhan Omar’s naturalization. That is what is to be inferred from Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon’s comments in the video clip below: “It’s a truism of immigration law that if you commit fraud in the course of obtaining your citizenship…if you lie about your marriage status on which your citizenship depends or you’re familial status or what have you, if »
