MUSLIM ILHAN OMAR'S INGRATITUDE TO AMERICAN KNOWS NO BOUNDS

The Washington Free Beacon reported Saturday that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN)’s congressional campaign paid over $500,000 in 2019 to a firm run by her alleged boyfriend, political consultant Timothy Mynett.
The Free Beacon, citing FEC campaign filings, noted that Omar’s campaign apparently paid the E Street Group $215,000 in the fourth quarter of 2019, bringing the total paid to the firm to $525,000 last year.
The expenses cover services such as “Digital Communications Consulting” and “Digital Advertising.”
Omar filed for divorce in October from her husband, Ahmed Hirsi, after reports of the affair surfaced. Her filing, the Washington Post reported, did not mention an affair. But divorce filings from Mynett’s wife did allege an affair, though both Omar and Mynett denied the allegations, the Post reported.

As Breitbart News noted in October, the UK Daily Mail reported last fall that Omar and Mynett had been spotted together.
Omar’s marriage to Hirsi was already the subject of controversy. A state ethics board investigating campaign finance violations found that Omar had filed taxes jointly in 2014 and 2015 with Hirsi while legally married to another man, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi. She claimed that she married Hirsi in a religious ceremony in 2002, and the two have children together, though they never married legally until after she divorced Elmi.
David Sternberg alleged at the Powerline blog last year that Elmi is Omar’s brother, and that she was brought to the U.S. as a refugee by another family, using their surname instead of her own.
Reports have circulated in the media that the FBI is investigating Omar’s first marriage.
Omar is a member of the so-called “Squad,” a diverse left-wing group of first-term women in Congress that has clashed both with party leadership and President Donald Trump.
She endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) for president last year, declaring that he would fight against “western imperialism.” She also backs radical boycotts of Israel and triggered a political crisis last year with several antisemitic comments.

The bombshell investigatory blockbuster Profiles in Corruption: Abuse of Power by America’s Progressive Elite has hit number one on the New York Times bestseller list.

Profiles in Corruption, based on over a year and a half of research by Breitbart News senior contributor and Government Accountability Institute (GAI) President Peter Schweizer and his team of investigators, details the past conduct and little-known ties of several prominent progressive leaders. Those include former Vice President Joe Biden, Mayor Eric Garcetti, and Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Cory Booker (D-NJ), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Kamala Harris (D-CA) and Sherrod Brown (D-OH).

The revelations in Schweizer’s investigative work are backed by 1,126 endnotes, totaling 83 pages of source material. Some of those revelations include:

Profiles in Corruption edged out A Very Stable Genius on the New York Times bestseller list, which was penned by two Washington Post reporters.
Establishment media TV outlets have largely ignored the findings exposed in Profiles in Corruption and have failed to question the presidential candidates covered in the book on their past conduct.



Ilhan Omar's ingratitude to the country that gave her refuge knows no bounds

By Andrea Widburg


America took in Ilhan Omar and her family after they first escaped tribal and religious warfare in their native country of Somalia and then spent several years in a refugee camp.  Once here, Omar's father eventually worked for the government. Omar herself attended public schools, worked at a public institution, and then was elected to one of the highest offices in the land.
Given all those truly inestimable blessings, one would think Omar would feel at least a modicum of gratitude to the United States.  Anyone thinking that would be wrong.
A video has emerged of Omar speaking at a Democracy Now! and Rising Majority event held in Washington, D.C. on Friday.  The video picks up with Omar talking about American foreign policy.  Her point during the four-minute video is that Americans are so selfish that they fail to realize that everything they do has a negative effect on the rest of the world:
Omar begins by acknowledging that most people, when they see refugees, think something bad must have happened to those people in their homeland, leading them to take refuge in America.  But we're wrong in thinking that way.  Instead, she says, we must ask ourselves, "What American policy made them come over here?"  As Omar continues, it's clear that she's not talking about policies that make America a magnet for everyone in the world who seeks success.  Instead, she's blaming America for all the world's ills.
Whenever people become refugees because the Earth's climate changes, Omar says it's America's fault:
When you see flooding happening in a country abroad and you are urgently raising money for these lives to be saved, you don't think about, 'How have I contributed to the climate warming that has led to these floodings and these catastrophes that are taking place abroad?
If local foreign wars result in dead civilians, that's America's fault, too.  In those cases, we must "think about people who are using the weapons that are created in this country to take the lives of innocent children and women and men abroad."
Even international trade is toxic when America is involved:
She also argued that Americans should worry about jobs going overseas not because that reduces employment opportunities for them, but rather because it means people in countries such as Mexico will be subjected to the exploitative practices of American corporations.
Omar doesn't just bite the hand that feeds her; she gnaws up the arm, sinks her teeth into the jugular, and feasts on the blood.  It's easy to come up with theories about her hatred for the land that gave her succor, but the reason doesn't matter.  The fact is that she hates this country and is in a position of power and influence to effect change (all negative) in America.
Thankfully, there is an option if people in her district will get out and vote.  Dalia al-Aqidi is another Muslim woman who was forced out of her war-torn homeland (in her case, Iraq) and found refuge in America.  Al-Aqidi, however, is cut from very different cloth.  She loves America.  She loves its freedoms and cherishes its institutions.
Al-Aqidi kicked off her campaign with a powerful video showing how important America is to her and how she hopes to serve it in Congress — sitting in the seat that Omar has used to lob attacks against the nation that rescued her:
