So, Who Wants To Bet That The Media Never Asks Ilhan Omar About Her White People Remarks
Matt Vespa | @mvespa1 | July 25, 2019
Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-N) controversial past keeps getting dug up. Her tweets about how Israel had hypnotized the world to its evil and appearing to side with the Somali militias who engaged our troops in Somalia in the early 1990s have been unearthed. She also trivialized the 9/11 attacks as an event “where some people did something.” Now, we have this old interview on Al-Jazeera where she said that Americans have more to fear from white people than radical Islamic terrorism (via Fox News):

Go ahead and expand on that thought. But first let me grab a beer because I know this should be entertaining.
She’s a big mouth like Trump but of course she’s factually correct about the white people vs jihadis comment...or can’t you count, Joe? Truth hurts, don’t it, white boy?So, Who Wants To Bet That The Media Never Asks Ilhan Omar About Her White People Remarks

Per capita or overall?
What does that mean, in this context? Obviously, we Americans are more likely to suffer random murder at the hands of other white Americans than at the hands of jihadis. Or can't you count, either?
Aren't you a scientist? I've seen your graphs.

Report: Ilhan Omar has split from her husband
JOHN SEXTON Posted at 3:21 pm on July 26, 2019
This comes from the Daily Mail which has labeled it an exclusive. The big caveat here is that there’s no confirmation of this claim from Omar, from her husband, or from her office. The Daily Mail is basing this on Omar apparent change in living arrangements:
ADVERTISEMENT
Former MSNBC host Krystal Ball: MSNBC's Russiagate conspiracies have done major damage to the left
Omar has now dumped her current husband Ahmed Hirsi – who she first married in a religious ceremony in 2002 and divorced in 2008 – and moved into a penthouse apartment in one of Minneapolis’s trendiest neighborhoods, DailyMail.com has learned exclusively.
But Hirsi, is also spending time at the apartment, which is just a block from the Mississippi River in the Mill District sector of Minnesota’s largest city, when she is out of town.
‘Wow,’ said Hirsi, when approached about the split by DailyMail.com outside the complex. ‘I can’t comment on that…
‘He only goes there when Ilhan is in DC,’ one family friend told DailyMail.com. ‘When she’s in Minneapolis he sleeps at his house.’
That’s about the extent of the confirmation in this report. The husband and Omar’s office won’t deny it and an anonymous source says they are living apart. The DM headline mentions them heading for divorce but there’s nothing in the story to support that. It seems to be an inference based on the current living arrangements. But there could be other explanations. Maybe this is a temporary separation?
ADVERTISEMENT
Obviously, the reason this is news, assuming it proves to be accurate, is that Omar has already been under a fair amount of scrutiny for her unusual marital history. She originally married her current husband Ahmed Hirsi in 2002 but that marriage was religious and not legal. In 2008 they separated and the following year she married Ahmed Elmi, this time legally. However, Elmi apparently left in 2011 and Omar got back together with Hirsi. They had their 3rd child in 2012 while she was still legally married to Elmi. In 2017, Omar legally divorced Elmi and then married Hirsi legally in 2018.
ADVERTISEMENT
Adding to the confusion is that fact that Omar filed joint tax returns with Hirsi in at least two years, 2014 and 2015, while she was still legally married to Elmi. That’s illegal under state law and it’s not clear if there were other years where she did the same. But Omar has remained completely mum about all of this, including the rumors that her marriage to Elmi was some sort of sham for immigration purposes.
ADVERTISEMENT
While some have been eager to dismiss this as nothing more than the product of the right-wing fever swamp, actual attempts to investigate the story have been inconclusive. Here’s Politifact, definitely not a right-wing outlet, talking to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune politics editor about the fact that his paper couldn’t resolve this story one way or the other, mostly because Omar and her family won’t talk about it.
ADVERTISEMENT
Earlier this week, Judicial Watch filed a House Ethics complaint alleging, among other things, marriage fraud. So while it’s probably too early to say for sure what’s happening with Omar’s current marriage based on this one report, given her unusual marital history and her determined refusal to talk about it, it could be a while before we know anything for certain.

It’s not a foreign concept to him, quite the opposite actually.
What kind of people stand up for anti American towel heads?
She’s correct. Is that a problem for you?
Sheriff Joe

Correct about what?
Lost the plot, did ya? She’s correct when she says that Americans need to be more afraid of white men than Muslim terrorists.
Obviously, the numbers of corpses bear out her claim. She’s 100% right, as you know. And thanks for mentioning it!

Pete Buttigieg livin’ large on the campaign trail
By Thomas Lifson
So much for the urgency of the Green New Deal that Peter Buttigieg is backing. Let other people take the bus, Peter is chartering private jets like no other Democrat running for president. Bryan Slodysko reports for AP:
Pete Buttigieg has spent roughly $300,000 on private jet travel this year, more than any other Democrat running for the White House, according to an analysis of campaign finance data.
The expenditures have enabled the South Bend, Indiana, mayor to keep up an aggressive schedule, shuttling from his campaign headquarters in his hometown to fundraisers and political events across the country. But his reliance on charter flights contrasts sharply with his image as a Rust Belt mayor who embodies frugality and Midwestern modesty.
Peter’s hardly the first candidate to push a bogus image. But it’s more than just that; the claimed urgency of global warming means that he is killing the planet for political gain – if you buy the warmist fraud. The GND tells us that we have to sacrifice our comfort, our transportation and our livelihoods because the disaster is so imminent. Anyone who really believes that would never charter a jet.
But private jets aren’t the only way Peter is livin’ large:
His campaign spent about $110,000 at a Hilton hotel in downtown Miami during the first round of Democratic debates last month . Buttigieg’s campaign says the expenditures covered a large block of conference rooms and rooms for campaign staff, though records show it’s drastically more than any other top contender paid for lodging that week.
He also spent about $20,000 at other Hilton hotels, $14,000 on car and limousine services and $4,100 at the Avalon in Beverly Hills, which bills itself as a hotel that “sets the tone for hip repose.”
The campaign can afford all of this, of course because:
He led the field of Democratic candidates in fundraising during the second quarter, raking in $24.8 million .
One thing that you almost never hear or read in the MSM is that the reason Buttigieg’s fundraising is so robust that lots of homosexuals see his candidacy as a turning point. As the first openly gay presidential contender, Buttigieg is breaking down a barrier to acceptance. Vanity Fair is one of the few publications to acknowledge this, perhaps because it believes its readership is sympathetic to the cause.
But voters in unfashionable neighborhoods without closets full of designer duds might not be as happy with the notion that gay money is pushing a homosexual candidate.

Especially one that throws around money on luxuries.
