Ilhan Omar

During the four years of the Biden Administration, he let in (give or take) about 10 million illegal aliens. A majority of American citizens want them deported. All of them. But it turns out that they (the aliens) like it here. They get free stuff and life is better in America than it is back home. They are not willing to go back voluntarily. And Democratic-appointed judges apparently believe that

We live in the stupidest possible timeline. If there are multiple universes, how did we get stuck in this one? The U.S. Attorney for Minnesota issued this press release today, Minnesota Man Charged with Forcibly Assaulting Representative Ilhan Omar while She Engaged in Performance of her Official Duties. No, not that kind of Minnesota Man. The man in question, Anthony James Kazmierczak, age 56, was charged today with assault of

Minnesota Fifth District Rep. Ilhan Omar was sprayed with an unknown substance by a nut with a syringe at a town hall meeting in Minneapolis last night. Security guards subdued and apprehended her attacker, who was booked into the Hennepin County Jail. I’m glad she was unhurt. I especially loathe violence against politicians, law enforcement officers, and public officials. However, I intend to keep spraying Omar with the truth. The

Imprimis is the distinguisued monthly publication of Hillsdale College. It goes out in hard copy to some 7,000,000 free subscribers (subcribe here) and is also posted online. Long-time Imprimis editor Doug Jeffrey invited me to write the January issue for readers who are only vaguely aware of Minnesota’s massive public-programs fraud. In my world Doug is a legendary editor. I was grateful for the opportunity to write for Imprimis and

In June 2019 I obtained the Minnesota Campaign Finance Board’s investigative file on Ilhan Omar’s infractions in her 2016 race for a seat in the state House of Representatives. Inside the file was a trove of documents bearing on Omar’s marriage to her brother and my own role in exposing it in August 2016. I wrote about the documents in a series I called “From the mixed-up files of Rep.

Yesterday we took a look at “Stupid AI” on the matter of Ilhan Omar’s marriage to her brother. By email, our friend Brian Ward quoted my question: “How stupid can artificial intelligence get?” Brian commented: “It’s a parameter we’ve not yet identified. But we do know the New York Times can always exceed it.” Here Brian pointed me to the deep dive into stupidity with New York Times reporters David

The Washington Free Beacon’s Alana Goodman covers a story that hits close to home and that you would be unlikely to find anywhere else: “‘A False Claim That Has Been Repeatedly Debunked’: Top AI Platforms Flatly Deny That Ilhan Omar Married Her Brother, Ignore Strong Evidence She Did” (“The chatbots conceded some points when pressed with specific details”). How stupid can artificial intelligence get? The future is looking grimmer every

For one who began life in a Kenyan refugee camp, Ilhan Omar has done very well. Not only is she a darling of the Left, she is now–suddenly–wealthy. In the space of a year or two, she has gone from having virtually no net worth to having a $30 million fortune. Nice work if you can get it. We wrote about Omar’s sudden wealth here and here. Omar’s financial rise

A cloud of lies, generated largely by Democratic Party politicians, has enveloped the efforts of ICE to enforce federal law in Minnesota. One claim that Democrats have made repeatedly is that ICE agents are not detaining dangerous criminals, but rather are merely harassing our “neighbors.” This short clip from yesterday’s American Experiment podcast, which I expect will be seen a couple million times on social media, takes on that myth:

The North Star State cannot keep itself out of the national headlines. As I’ve written a couple of times today, “managed disorder” is part of the Minnesota Democrats’ governing strategy. If their rank-and-file voters can remain whipped up about Donald Trump (or whatever), then they are less likely to focus on the Democrats’ catastrophic policy and management failures. Unfortunately, this strategy has the unintended (?) side effect of destroying the

If we’re still talking about Minnesota’s epidemic of Somali fraud, and I think we are, we should also be talking about Minnesota Fifth District Rep. Ilhan Omar. Omar is Somali fraud Exhibit A. I took up her case in the December 12 Washington Free Beacon column “Yes, Ilhan Omar married her brother.” Ben Weingarten has conveniently compiled the evidence in the heavily footnoted chapter 11 of American Ingrate: Ilhan Omar

Check this space as we ring out the old year in Minnesota fraud and ring in the new. YouTuber Nick Shirley was back in Minneapolis yesterday, flashing his “Quality Learing” (sic) merch and touting a forthcoming new video. Wednesday evening additions: New York Post: Minnesota Somali-run day care bizarrely reports their documents were stolen in mysterious break-in — but cops tell a different story.

Chuck Warren and Sam Stone host the weekend Breaking Battlegrounds show/podcast. The show is broadcast on Salem affiliates in Phoenix, Sarasota, Tampa, and Orlando. Chuck and Sam invited me to join them this past Friday to discuss Minnesota’s massive public-programs fraud and she who must be flayed — Somali fraud Exhibit A. You know who I’m talking about. I was unfamiliar with Breaking Battlegrounds, but found the segment a greatly

I have revisited the saga of Minnesota Fifth District Rep. Ilhan Omar now that President Trump has tuned into it (again). The Free Beacon headlined my column “Yes, Ilhan Omar married her brother,” but it might well have been Thank you for your attention to this matter! I’ve been covering the story for nearly 10 years. A reader now advises that Polymarket is running a betting pool on the story:

Now that the official price tag for the Minnesota frauds has crossed the $10 billion (with a “b”) mark, it’s past time that the elected officials who looked the other way be held accountable. Gov. Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison, and Congresswoman Ilhan Omar are all documented as having close ties to the fraudsters, taking meetings with them, taking campaign donations from them, and having other interactions with them,

That was just one of the topics I covered in a wide-ranging conversation with Rita Panahi last night. We talked about Susie Wiles’ inexplicable interviews with Vanity Fair, Ilhan Omar’s feud with President Trump, the showdown with Venezuela, Kamala Harris’s political future, and more: Alert readers will notice that my background is not the usual one. I am traveling and did the show from my hotel room.

In an interview with fangirl CBS Minnesota’s Esme Murphy over the weekend, Minnesota Fifth District Rep. Ilhan Omar alleged her son was “racially profiled” and stopped by ICE. According to her, he escaped the clutches of ICE by showing his passport. ICE has now responded: ICE has absolutely ZERO record of its officers or agents pulling over Congresswoman Omar’s son. With no evidence, it is shameful that Congresswoman Omar would
