Tonight we are celebrating because we engaged and empowered our community and we won! exclaimed Ilhan Omar in an August 14 press release. Our campaign staff, our volunteers, and the people of the Fifth Congressional District are the inspiration we need to get up every day and fight for a democracy that guarantees a more just and equitable society. Together, each and every one of us are the inspiration we need to keep fighting for a democracy that gets us closer to the American promise of prosperity for all and the hope for a better tomorrow. The inspiration we need to keep fighting for the America we deserve. Together, we will move our district, our state and our nation forward.
As the first African refugee elected to Congress, Ilhan Omar will bring a unique perspective and new energy to our nations capital. She will fight for working families so they are paid a living wage and have access to affordable housing and healthcare; for students to make college more affordable and debt forgiveness for those struggling to repay education loans; for immigrants and refugees to stop family separations, abolish ICE, and protect DACA. And so on, but theres more to the Somalia-born candidate.
In The Curious Case of Ilhan Omar, Minnesota attorney Scott Johnson noted the fact that she is not legally married to the man she advertises as the husband and the father of her three children. In fact, she is legally married to another manwho may be her brother. A SomaliSpot post charged that Omar had married the man touted as her husband in 2002 before marrying her brother for fraudulent purposes in 2009.
Johnson checked the story through the Minnesota Official Marriage System and found the site reflected Omars 2002 marriage to her advertised husband, Ahmed Aden (later Ahmed Hirsi), and her 2009 marriage to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi (identified in the SomaliSpot post as Omars brother). Ilan Omar refused to be interviewed on the subject, and when Johnson ran it by the campaign, attorney Jean Brandle responded, There are people who do not want an East African, Muslim woman elected to office and who will follow Donald Trumps playbook to prevent it. Ilhan Omars campaign sees your superfluous contentions as one more in a series of attempts to discredit her candidacy. And of course, it was racist bigotry even to inquire.
As Johnson notes, reporter Preya Samsundar found information suggesting that legal husband Ahmed Nur Said Elmi is indeed her brother. Despite a systematic purge of the online evidence, Samsundar tracked down Elmi, who told her in an email he was not affiliated with anyone in your articles and Nor do I recall being married to anyone. At least, from what I remember.
A Mother Jones account said Omar survived a scandal after a conservative blog reported on her two messy marriages. (The part about her marrying her own brother was not true.) She was a fresh new face in politics and wants to make America decent again. For Jaylani Hussein of Minnesotas CAIR chapter, Ilhan Omar shows America can elect a Muslim woman who is everything that this country seems to be pushing away. Shes a symbol of the resistance to this idea that Muslims are a threat.
Ilhan Omar voted against a bill that made it a felony for parents to subject daughters to female genital mutilation. So she doesnt exactly want women to control their own bodies. She has described Israel as an apartheid state and tweeted Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them to see the evil doings of Israel. True to form, CAIR is backing Omar in her congressional race, holding three fundraising events in California. One of her supporters also boasts a curious profile.
In his own campaigns for office, and in his work for Ilhan Omar, Somali immigrant Guhaad Said neglected to note that in 2015 he pleaded guilty to aggravated assault in Ohio. According to the police report, the victims bore multiple cuts and lacerations from being stabbed with a knife. Said is reportedly working closely with Ilhan Omars campaign and enforces the silence on the identity of her official husband.
That business recalls the Quranic injunction against a man divorcing a wife by declaring her to be his mother. Such men should know that their wives are not their mothers. As Richard Grenier observed in The Marrakesh One-Two, there had been a lot of confusion about that until Mohammed cleared it up. Brothers keeper Ilhan Omar seems to have given it a new twist, and for the establishment media it doesnt matter who you love. And for its part, the ACLU has not raised questions about separation of mosque and state.
Meanwhile, leftists Amy Alexander (2006) and Karen Monahan (2016) claimed that CAIR and Farrakhan favorite Keith Ellison abused them. Even so, the Muslim DNC deputy chair won the primary in his quest to become Minnesotas attorney general. Ilhan Omar seeks to replace Ellison in Congress and faces Republican Jennifer Zielinski on November 6.

SOMALIS STEAL $300 MILLION TAX DOLLARSThe Worst Scandal In Minnesota History?
Center of the American Experiment ^ | May 14, 2018 | John Hinderaker

Fox 9 television uncovers a far-reaching scandal: last year, more than $100 million in cash left the Twin Cities airport in carry-on luggage, bound for the Middle East and Africa: This story begins at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, where mysterious suitcases filled with cash have become a common carry-on. On the morning of March 15, Fox 9 chased a tip about a man who was leaving the country. Sources said he took a carry-on bag through security that was packed with $1 million in cash. Travelers can do that, as long as they fill out the proper government forms. Fox 9 learned that these cloak-and-dagger scenarios now happen almost weekly at MSP. The money is usually headed to the Middle East, Dubai and points beyond. Sources said last year alone, more than $100 million in cash left MSP in carry-on luggage.
Where does the money come from, and where is it going? It was coming from Hawalas, businesses used to courier money to countries that have no official banking system. Some immigrant communities rely on Hawalas to send funds to help impoverished relatives back home. [Former Seattle police detective Glen] Kerns discovered some of the money was being funneled to a Hawala in the region of Somalia that is controlled by the al Shabaab terrorist group.
But the real scandal is where the money came from in the first placewelfare fraud:As Kerns dug deeper, he found that some of the individuals who were sending out tens of thousands of dollars worth of remittance payments happened to be on government assistance in this country. How could they possibly come up with such big bucks to transfer back home? We had sources that told us, Its welfare fraud, its all about the daycare, said Kerns. *** Five years ago the Fox 9 Investigators were first to report that daycare fraud was on the rise in Minnesota, exposing how some businesses were gaming the system to steal millions in government subsidies meant to help low-income families with their childcare expenses.
Its a great way to make some money, Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman said In order for the scheme to work, the daycare centers falsely signed up low income Somali Muslim families that qualify for child care assistance funding.Surveillance videos from a case prosecuted by Hennepin County show parents checking their kids into a center, only to leave with them a few minutes later. Sometimes, no children would show up.
Either way, the center would bill the state for a full day of childcare.Video from that same case shows a man handing out envelopes of what are believed to be kickback payments to parents who are in on the fraud. Evidently welfare fraud in various forms is widespread in Minnesotas Somali immigrant community. This is, I think, generally known, but the scale of fraud disclosed here is astonishing:
We believe that theres a scope of fraud out there that we really need to get our arms around and ensure that those dollars are going to kids that really need them, Acting Commissioner for the Department of Human Services Chuck Johnson said.
He told the Fox 9 Investigators his agency has 10 daycares currently under active investigation for fraud. Fox 9 has learned dozens more are considered suspicious. Search warrants obtained by the Fox 9 Investigators show each one of the suspect centers has received several million dollars in childcare assistance funds.
According to public records and government sources, most are owned by Somali immigrants. *** Sources in the Somali community told Fox 9 it is an open secret that starting a daycare center is a license to make money.
The fraud is so widespread they said, that people buy shares of daycare businesses to get a cut of the huge public subsidies that are pouring in. Government insiders believe this scam is costing the state at least a hundred million dollars a year, half of all child care subsidies.
A friend who saw this news story wrote: This has me more angry than Ive been since the 2011 tax increase on the rich aka, working families. I cant put into words how utterly incompetent you must be to not have a checks and balances in place for tax payer funded programs, the tax payer dollars that people like myself and millions others diligently pay quarterly, leaving our children in childcare to work and provide for our families, pay taxes, only to have this hard work fund bogus programs that somehow are funding the same terrorist activities meant to harm our country?!!! Unbelievable. The commissioner and employees responsible for overseeing this mess should pay, every single one of them they should be fired they didnt do their job.
Her outrage is appropriate, but perhaps misguided. I suspect that many of Minnesotas liberals think that our bureaucrats performed their jobs very well: they siphoned off hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to finance liberal constituenciesthe principal purpose of government, according to our lib friends.
So, how dumb are we? Honestly, I think it is impossible to plumb the depths of our stupidity. We need to totally revamp both our immigration policies and our welfare system to guard against these Somali migrant crooks.

==========================================
It is imperative that we determine (A) her membership in Somali organizations advocating the overthrow of the US govt,
(B) her knowledge of the groups that pulled off the daycare thievery, and, (C) the number of US govt checks she is cashing.
Pin the tail on the Muslim ***.
Nevertheless, the question stands.
And what the heck is going on up in Minnesota?!
She’s gonna be packing, for her move to DC. :/
