The worst of course are muslims: their holy book instructs followers to conquer infidels around the world — the koran has more than 100 verses promoting violence as part of the faith. Another strategy that has become more common is hijrah — immigration for the propagation of belief in Islam.

Along with the conquering comes the idea of Islamic superiority even though their societies are basket cases.

Omar seems to share the attitude of superiority, apparent in her disrespect for western law and culture. Born in Somalia, she lived with her family in a Kenya camp until the US rescued them as refugees in the mid-1990s, although there is evidence she entered by claiming relation to persons who were not her family. She apparently married her brother so he could scam his way into America. After so much generosity, Omar complains about the nation that rescued her and says living here is “an everyday assault.”

She can’t even be bothered to follow the laws of the Congress to which she was elected — unimportant infidel details, she may think.

Tucker Carlson investigated the latest news about Omar which concerns campaign finance violations that may have occurred during her affair with a married consultant:

TUCKER CARLSON: Congressman Ilhan Omar is back in the news again. In newly released divorce papers, a claim has made that she has had a long term affair with a political consultant — her political consultant named Tim Mynett.

A new complaint says Omar’s involvement with Mynett may have violated campaign finance laws. Peter Flaherty is Chairman of the National Legal and Policy Center, and he joins us tonight. Peter, thanks very much for coming on.

PETER FLAHERTY: Good evening.

CARLSON: So typically, we don’t jump into people personal lives because, it’s kind of no one’s business, I think. But in this specific case, you have an allegation that a relationship like this could violate the law. How would that work?

FLAHERTY: Well, the problem here is that private actions may have resulted in violations of the law, the Federal Election Campaign Act. And in this case, you have Representative Ilhan Omar’s campaign paying for the travel of a political consultant with which it’s alleged that Representative Omar is having an affair.

Now, that opens the possibility that campaign funds are being used for personal purposes, which is strictly prohibited. And it has ended the careers of many of a politician.

You know, Representative Duncan Hunter, Republican from San Diego, he may be on his way to jail for using campaign funds for personal uses, including facilitating extramarital affairs.

CARLSON: Interesting. So what would you need to show that?

FLAHERTY: Well, we’ve asked for an investigation by the Federal Election Commission. These are violations of Election Law. If they’re willful, it’s possible it could trigger an investigation by the Justice Department and we do hope that takes place.

But in our complaint, we cited two things. Number one, the failure to itemize travel by this consultant named Tim Mynett. The Federal Election Commission regulations are very specific about travel. If you have to report as individual disbursements any amount over $200 in the aggregate, you know, your hotel, your airfare, whatever.

But Omar on a report simply reported lump sum payments to an LLC owned by Mynett, which is a clear violation. Now that sounds technical, and it sounds a little nitpicking, but as an ethics group, we always look for technical violations in hopes of finding out the more serious improper activity that they are calculated to conceal.

CARLSON: Sure. The stuff hangs on technicalities. I mean, that’s what it is. It’s an accumulation of technical violations. So, Omar, in addition to being I would say, ideologically on the wrong side, seems very sleazy.

I mean, every time you press a little bit into her personal life, you can’t get a straight answer. There seems to be quite a bit of deception. That may not even be your real name. She may have married her brother. Then you have this? Has she shed any light on this at all? Has she responded to questions — your questions about it?

FLAHERTY: Well, I understand today that she denied everything. And that was curious to us because the violations about reporting the travel, they are straightforward, unambiguous violations and any election law expert would tell you that.

Now the more serious matter of whether she was having an affair with Tim Mynett, and used campaign funds to facilitate his traveling around the country with her. Well, we can’t state that we know that conclusively. But we’re saying that there’s enough circumstantial evidence for the FEC to launch an investigation, and we hope they do.

CARLSON: We’ll see. Peter Flaherty, thank you very much for joining us tonight.

Somali Diversity Reaches US House of Representatives https://www.limitstogrowth.org/articles/2018/11/07/somali-diversity-reaches-us-house-of-representatives/ Thu, 08 Nov 2018 01:13:06 +0000 https://www.limitstogrowth.org/?p=17131 As we know, the Democrats have taken control of the House, and the usual liberal platitudes were used to celebrate the occasion.

The 2019 Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, used election night to congratulate the “dynamic diverse incredible candidates who have taken back the House for the American people.”

How diverse? In some instances: very.

Certainly eye-catching for traditional Americans would be the earlier shenanigans of the first ever Somali woman elected to the House, Ilhan Omar. She started getting attention in 2016 when she won a state House seat in Minnesota to represent an area now know as Little Mogadishu. A one-time refugee, Omar arrived in the Twin Cities in the 1990s.

But Omar’s backstory may have included a diverse marriage arrangement that is definitely non-kosher for American law: she apparently married her brother to ease her entrance to the United States because spouses are normally given preference in immigration cases.

As Scott Johnson wrote recently:

ILHAN OMAR: CURIOUSER AND CURIOUSER, Powerlineblog.org, November 5, 2018

Ilhan Omar will be elected to succeed Keith Ellison representing Minnesota’s Fifth District. It appears increasingly likely that she married her brother Ahmed Nur Said Elmi for dishonest purposes in 2009 and didn’t get around to dissolving the marriage until 2017, all the while living with the man she advertised as her lawful husband and father of her children. You’d never know it, however, if you get your news from the Star Tribune, as many Fifth District voters do (not that it would necessarily matter to them).

I came to this conclusion two years ago for reasons set forth in “The curious case of Ilhan Omar,” but I say it appears increasingly likely because of the work this campaign season of PJ Media’s David Steinberg. Building on my own work and especially that of Preya Samsundar, Steinberg has now published a four-part series of columns investigating Omar.

We have covered each of Steinberg’s three previous installments. Today he returns with “New Photos Corroborate Perjury Claims Against Rep. Ilhan Omar, as She Deletes Social Media Evidence.”

PJMedia included snaps of the alleged couple:

This is the diversity that Nancy Pelosi and Democrats celebrate — but to many Americans, such behavior shows how Somali immigration frequently brings crime and a vastly different culture that often resists assimilation.
