RUTHFULLY YOURS

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D. Somalia) exploded on the national political scene in 2018, when she ran for and won a seat in the House of Representatives. Born in Somalia, she and her family had escaped that war-torn country when she was a small child and spent four years in a refugee camp in Kenya. Omar came to America in 1992, when she was 10.

Omar was a perfect candidate to take over the seat that Keith Ellison vacated when he moved on to become Deputy Chair of the Democratic National Committee. As was Ellison, Omar is a Muslim representing Minnesota’s 5^th congressional district – that is, Minneapolis and some suburbs – an area that is politically Progressive and that has a large Muslim population.

Beautiful, poised, articulate, and with impeccable Progressive credentials, Omar was a shoo-in. She also entered Congress at the same time as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib. All young, all leftist, all arrogant, the four women were dubbed “the squad” and proceeded to act as if they owned Congress.

While Ocasio-Cortez burbled Leftist nonsense, Tlaib and Omar got down to the business of denigrating America, Israel, and Jews. They disliked the American military and mourned Soleimani’s death. Despite their puritanical faith, they pushed on America every possible Progressive policy.

The mainstream media were in love with the Squad, especially the exotic Omar. Conservatives had problems, serious problems, with her politics. And a small cadre of dogged conservative journalists, most notably at PJ Media and Power Line, found particularly dismaying Omar’s probable marital and immigration fraud.

If you search for Omar’s name at either of those sites, you’ll find article after article meticulously documenting her marriage to a man almost certainly her brother, which gained him entry into the American education system, while she was simultaneously in a “faith based” marriage to another man with whom she had children and filed taxes. Other research revealed that her entire extended family may have been switching out identities to gain entry to America. Many of those articles reflected meticulous investigation by David Steinberg. (See here, for example.)

The unsavoriness of Omar’s conduct escalated when she dumped her husband and went to live with another man who apparently left his wife for Omar. It turns out that, beneath the modest headgear she wears, Omar is a Jezebel.

In October 2019, the Department of Justice finally assigned an FBI Special Agent in charge to look at Omar’s conduct over an 8 year period. Steinberg has now written another detailed article explaining that these investigations are starting to bear fruit.

The Department of Education Inspector General is examining whether her 2009 marriage to a UK citizen (who may well have been her brother) was meant to defraud the federal student loan system:

Shortly after Omar’s 2009 marriage, the new couple moved to Fargo, North Dakota. Omar enrolled at North Dakota State University in August 2009. Her husband enrolled the following year.

Omar received a degree in June 2011. According to Omar herself, she and her husband then permanently separated in June 2011. The marriage’s start and end coincide with the start and end dates of Omar’s NDSU enrollment.

Incredibly — according to address records, and a statement from Omar herself — she was also still living with her first husband, and their two kids, throughout this second marriage.

This investigation will encompass the fact that, when Omar filed for divorce from that 2009 marriage, she perjured herself eight times in nine questions by claiming she had no contact with her husband, despite evidence strewn across social media that this was a lie.

Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”) is also examining myriad immigration felonies Omar might have committed. No wonder that Omar has been in the forefront of those Progressive politicians demanding that ICE be abolished.

Many criminals fear getting caught and do their best to stay out of the limelight. There is, however, a class of criminal that functions on arrogance. These people believe that, like Yogi Bear, they’re “smarter than the average bear.” Their egos are so big they cannot imagine that they’ll ever be caught.

Jeffrey Epstein was one such person. Michael Avenatti is another. Both would have done well to stay in the shadows rather than to flaunt themselves and their crimes. And now it’s beginning to look as if Ilhan Omar falls into the same category: people whose failed moral compasses allow them to commit crimes, and whose overweening egos compel them to seek the public spotlight.
