Ilhan Omar has been much in evidence this past week — Dec. 14 to 20 — in Washington. During the impeachment hearings, when Congressman Kevin McCarthy, at the podium on December 18, quoted, as an example of the level of discourse to which some of his opponents had sunk, Rashida Tlaib’s call to “impeach the motherf—–,” Omar immediately began, and continued repeatedly, to scream out from the back of the chamber, “Stop it! Stop it!,” even though McCarthy had not repeated the phrase, but gone on to other matters. Apparently Ilhan Omar didn’t think that Congressman McCarthy had a right to remind the American people of the crudity to which Rashida Tlaib routinely sinks, and to protect her BFF, tried to shout down, in the House of Representatives itself, the freedom of speech of a fellow Congressman. McCarthy, of course, was not maligning Tlaib, only quoting her verbatim – but that was enough to spur Ilhan Omar into hysterical action.
In another example of Omar’s making her indelible mark in Washington, she joined 16 other Congressmen in a letter deploring the Trump Administration’s sanctions on Iran as “economic warfare.” But why is that wrong? That’s exactly what those sanctions are meant to be – “economic warfare” – in order to persuade the Iranians to modify their aggressive behavior, across the Middle East (in Yemen, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon), and to slow down their pursuit of nuclear weapons. Why should the Trump Administration not be heartened by the effectiveness of those sanctions rather than, as Ilhan Omar and her 16 colleagues seem to think, be apologetic for their effect? The Administration’s reimposition of sanctions have reduced Iranian oil sales by 90%, from 2.46 mbd to .26 mbd. This has made it harder for the mullahcracy to continue to support the terrorist group Hezbollah in Lebanon; Hezbollah has had to greatly reduce salaries for its members as a result of Iran’s cutting of aid. Nor can Iran offer its previous level of financial support to the Shi’a militias in Iraq. The Iranian rial has sunk in value; Iran’s GDP has actually decreased, the price of gas has had to be increased to raise government revenues; Iran’s people have suffered – that’s exactly what economic sanctions are intended to do.The letter Ilhan signed claims that the sanctions have increased anti-American feeling in Iran. There is no evidence for this; the popular protests in Iran have been directed solely at the Iranian government itself, for its mismanagement, choice of spending priorities, and corruption. Ilhan Omar and her colleagues apparently want those sanctions, that are working so well, to be dramatically reduced, but they offer nothing to take their place. What alternative way to modify the Islamic Republic’s behavior would Ilhan Omar suggest? How would she prevent Iran from producing nuclear weapons? Or keep Iran from its foreign aggression?
The report on the letter Ilhan Omar signed is here:
In a letter issued on Tuesday to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, the lawmakers wrote that the hefty sanctions the US has imposed on the country was tantamount to “economic warfare.”
The sanctions put in place by this Administration against Iran are nothing less than economic warfare. After years of improving relations between the United States and Iran, the sanctions have devastated that country’s middle class, increased hostility toward the United States, and led to a humanitarian catastrophe. One dire effect has been an entirely preventable shortage of lifesaving medicine.
“This Administration must answer for their attacks on Iranians’ basic human right to affordable medicine,” Rep. Omar said in a statement.
The letter explains that while Iran manufactures 97% of its medicine domestically, the country relies on obtaining the rest through foreign imports.
First, Iran itself makes 97% of all the medicine it needs. That hardly suggests that there is a “humanitarian catastrophe” because of a lack of medicine, unless the remaining 3%, that must be imported, includes medicines that are absolutely critical to the survival of patients, and can be obtained nowhere else. We are not told what those medicines are that need to be imported. Nor is there evidence presented that those imports cannot be obtained from countries other than the U.S., including the U.K., France, Germany, Russia, and China. Ilhan Omar’s letter does not address these other potential sources for these imports. But finally, the main point of the letter – that there is a supposed “humanitarian catastrophe” because of that 3% of Iran’s medicines that the U.S. withholds – is fatally vitiated by the fact that the Department of the Treasury on October 25, 2019 announced a new “humanitarian mechanism” to allow medicine imports into Iran. That didn’t stop Ilhan Omar and her colleagues, nearly two months later, to send their letter to Secretary Mnuchin, ignoring the Treasury’s October 25 announcement. The signatories didn’t want anyone to be confused with facts. Their minds were made up, that “economic warfare” against Iran is a Bad Thing, and they were willing to continue to complain about the withholding of medicine that, if it had ever occurred, now occurred no longer.
The third event of Ilhan Omar’s Washington week in review didn’t require her presence, but she was indispensable to the story. I am thinking of the proceedings in the divorce court, where Dr. Beth Jordan, the wife of her political consultant and lover Tim Mynett, obtained her final decree. The story is here:
It took all of fifteen minutes, but Rep. Ilhan Omar was slammed as an adulteress in a Washington, DC, divorce court on Dec. 19 as her political consultant/alleged lover formally split from his wife, a report said.
Dr. Beth Jordan accused the Minnesota Democrat of having an affair with her now-ex-husband, political consultant Tim Mynett, during a 16-minute hearing before a judge cut her off, the Daily Mail reported.
“I have a statement to make,” Jordan, 55, said, adding that Mynett “had an affair with Ilhan Omar.”
The allegation was first reported by The Post in August, when Jordan claimed in a divorce filing that Mynett confessed to the affair in a “shocking declaration of love” for Omar in April before ditching his wife.
Mynett, 38, a DC-based political consultant who has worked for Omar’s campaign, laughed and clapped his hands with glee as his left the court on Thursday but was tight-lipped when confronted by media.
So her lover “laughed and clapped his hands with glee.” He left his wife and his child for Ilhan Omar, the outspokenly anti-Israel antisemitic Congresswoman, who famously described 9/11 as a place where “some people did something,” who is in all kinds of trouble with the law for failing to correctly report her campaign contributions, and may or may not have married her brother in order to ensure that he could enter the U.S. and receive student loans.
As for Tim Mynett, his relationship with Omar has been disturbing in every sense. She has paid him, as a political consultant, between January and mid-October of 2019, a “consulting fee” of $310,000. That’s $34,444 a month. He must be a very good consultant. The unusually large amounts he has received from her campaign have raised questions, given Omar’s extramarital affair with him, that remain to be answered.
When Beth Jordan charged Ilhan Omar for being an “adulteress,” it seems not to have fazed Omar. Has she, the great Defender of Islam, forgotten what would happen were she living in a Muslim country such as Iran and Saudi Arabia, where the Sharia is fully enforced, and convicted of adultery? One hundred lashes, then death by lapidation. Does she approve? It would be nice if some reporter were to ask her that very question. Consistency is not her strong suit.
There has always been so much going on in Omar’s busy life.
There’s still the question of her brother, as mentioned above. Omar is credibly accused of marrying her brother, Nur Said Elmi, in order to commit immigration and student-loan fraud, and even filed fraudulent tax returns. While married to Elmi, she filed a joint return with another man, Ahmed Hirsi, to whom she was not married at the time.
She is also accused of using campaign money not for political purposes, but on personal travel with Tim Mynett. This is still being investigated by the FEC.
She has already been required by the Minnesota Campaign Board to reimburse her own campaign for money she spent on personal matters, including travel and lawyer’s fees, and to pay a fine as well.
There’s much for an intrepid investigative team to look into.
But just now, let’s limit ourselves to summing up Ilhan Omar’s Washington Week in Review.
She’s been accused of being an adulteress by the wife of her lover and “political consultant” Tim Mynett, to whom she has given unusually large sums from her campaign funds. On the floor of the House, she tried to drown out, by shouting “Stop It! Stop It!,” a Congressman trying to be heard – there is no “free speech” as far as Ilhan Omar is concerned — all because he did nothing more than repeat verbatim a crude remark by her ally and fellow Muslim, Rashida Tlaib. Finally, she signed a letter denouncing the Administration for its “economic warfare” against Iran, deploring the very thing that most of us agree has been a smashing success both in curbing Iranian aggression through proxies (Houthis, Hezbollah, Shi’a militias), and in weakening popular support in Iran for the monstrous regime in Tehran. She thus joined in deploring a supposed “humanitarian catastrophe” in Iran because, although that country produces domestically 97% of all the medicines it needs, that remaining 3% was, the letter falsely implied, cannot be obtained except from the U.S. But even if that were true, two months before Omar’s letter was sent, the Treasury had already announced that it was ending all sanctions on medicine for Iran. It was no longer an issue. But what do facts matter when it’s such fun to bash the Administration?
That was Ilhan Omar’s Washington Week In Review. Let’s hope there are not too many more such weeks featuring the deplorable Omar and her cast of characters – those two Somali husbands, one a possible brother, the consultant/ lover who may yet become her third husband – all part of her scandalous entourage. We can’t take too much more of this. Minnesotans, next November, you will be able to right this wrong. Don’t miss the chance. Do your stuff.
SKA says
And not just having any old affair but with an infidel who may not even be circumcised. We don’t need Shari’ah to know that she is a whore
FYI says
And an infidel who is..White.
Isn’t omar always giving out stink about white folk?
That is ironic given that muhammed,her arab “prophet” is famously depicted in islamic sources as being the whitest man that ever lived and the owner,buyer and seller of black African slaves.
But of course we know that muslims never get Irony:and don’t they stone women to death for adultery in the islamic world?She is lucky she has the privilege of living in the West:some might call it ‘muslim privilege’.

SLUT comes to mind. Why isn’t this woman being censured? I hope Nancy is praying for her too.
Patti Pickerd says
You’re sure right about that, we don’t need any law in America, except the American Law!
Or Else! says
The corrupt, left-propagandist media refuses to report the ugly truth about the Dems. The bogus impeachment railroad, the refusal to look into the REAL election meddling (Obama administration, Clinton), the Biden-corruption (quid-pro-quo Joe on video) in the Ukraine and elsewhere, the rise (and acceptance) of anti-Israeli (i.e anti-Jewish) rhetoric from Oman, Tlaib, et al, and the willful ignorance/lies about Islam’s political goals.
Pelosi waving around the Constitution when everybody knows she and her party are trashing it.
It took a guy like Trump to unmask it. Let’s hope Durham/Barr meticulously, irrefutably lay it bare.
Or Else! says
Omar….not Oman. Apologies.
Brian Hoff says
There is pretty of evidence that trump commit hight crimes in office.

Y’know, “Brian Hoff”–really, “DefenderofIslam”–might just be onto something with those “hight crimes”! I bet there’s “pretty” of evidence there.
FYI says
yes,it’s called…Height speech…
I wonder is the wearing of high heels in islam a Height Crime?
Westman says
It seems strange that the letter was given to the US Treasury rather than the US State Department. Were they expecting the Treasury to go into deep-state-rogue rebellion? When did the Treasury acquire the ability to determine executive policy?
Watching Iran’s leaders run to every dictator for support is a sure sign that the sanctions are working. The Persians deserve a better future; one with opportunity that retrograde Islam can never provide. The end of mullah rule can’t happen quickly enough.

mortimer says
Adultress Ilhan Omar (who married her brother to get him into the US) is one of sleaziest of corrupt politicians in the US. How can Congress have failed to try her and suspend her from that honorable institution?
Does Congress have no standards now? Ilhan Omar obviously has no respect for the laws of the dirty kufaar and she has no respect for the freedom of expression for which so many Americans gave their lives.
mortimer says
Ilhan Omar is the perfect example of the DOUBLE STANDARDS that the American Left has normalized.
Their attitude is basically this: “It isn’t ‘corruption’ when WE do it.”
Chris D says
This is just remarkable. She’s actually pushing for action that would put OUR country in danger, while providing support for Iran’s ruling Mullahs to finance more terrorism.
She really is the enemy inside.
How is it that she’s not going down for Corruption with her campaign spending?
This reflects so poorly on Minneapolis.
4dmin says
In an interview Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” British radical Muslim activist Anjem Choudary made clear what he and his Islamist brothers have planned for the West. “We do believe, as Muslims, the East and the West will one day be governed by the Shariah,” he said. “Indeed, we believe that one day, the flag of Islam will fly over the White House.” He then quoted a hadith, or saying of Muhammad, as related by 10th-century Muslim scholar Al-Tabarani, that “the final hour will not come until Muslims conquer the White House.” Another version of the saying goes, “A small portion of Muslims will rise and conquer the White House.”

Well it is Christmas time isn’t it,a time the muslim followers of al LAH{“the BEST of deceivers”k3:54},their Arab god, a time of year they don’t like as members of that religion of “peace” that bears ill-will to all infidels:

Charlie, supporting Islamic savagery and undermining the civilized Infidel world is mainstream Islam. That Ilhan Omar is doing this from inside our own government makes her all the more dangerous.

Quazgaa says
She needs one more guy and she’ll be the first muslim woman with 4 husbands, of sort..
Infidel says
Two more, since the marriage to her brother was more a case of immigration fraud, rather than incest. Only thing – Islam allows men to have 4 wives at the same time, but the most she’s had is 2. If she can concurrently have affairs w/ not just Tim Mynett but also 3 other men and marry them by 4 different ceremonies – one civil, one Muslim, one Christian and one more, then she’d have hit your milestone
Quazgaa says
Reminds me of that joke, young woman goes to church to confess, priest says, how many?
Well, she replies, 12-13, something like that.
Hmm, goes the priest punching on a calculator, you gotta do two more. Sorry, it just comes out with a decimal on my math here.
Walter Sieruk says
it’s well worth taking the time to reiterate that this subversive Muslim politician ,Ilhan Omar , after her election to Congress she was thus was given a seat on the House of Foreign Affairs Committee where she has much influence to promote her Un-American Islamic ideas ,politics and polices upon America .
Omar with her foreign Islamic agenda she desire to impose on America which are in strong contrast to American ideas , values , politic and polices are a matter of concern .
With this type of insidious Islamic infiltration in the US government the wisdom of the former US President, Theodore Roosevelt, very much applies to this serious situation.
For in a speech President Roosevelt, rightly, declared “There can be no fifty-fifty Americanism in this country. There is room here for only one hundred percent Americanism, only for those who are Americans and nothing else.”

Northern Virginiastan says
whoops! I meant apartment.
Infidel says
I’m all for women marrying younger men, or men marrying younger women, within a radius of 10 years. Beyond that is asking for trouble. Dr Jordan should have known that she was asking for trouble when she married a man 17 years younger.
As for Tim Mynett, there’s no accounting for taste, or what he saw in Ilhan Omar. But hey, if his bedroom activities could inspire her to hand him $310,000, he is a genius! That’s more than what most boardroom execs make working for Wall Street consulting companies, like McKenzie, Bear Stearnes, et al. In short, he’s getting what’s presumably great sex, and being paid for it!

Minnesotans, next November, you will be able to right this wrong.

umm-m-m, no. she represents the 5th congressional district, which includes all of minneapolistan, an independent somalian islamic banlieue. she could livestream sex with satan, and she would still be re-elected, because of all the somalians living there. they may not approve of her “unislamic” practices, but because she is using them to baffle the infidel, it’s all good, and she’ll be re-elected.
gravenimage says
b.a. freeman, there are about 150,000 Muslim in all of Minnesota–Minneapolis alone has a population of over 422,000. Bad as it is, let’s not exaggerate how large the Mohammedan population is.
The problem is also that all too many clueless Leftists voted for this Muslim thug, absurdly believing her to be “progressive”.
John says
He was engaged to The Rose of Lebanon after aclaiming on bended knee “Is this the face that launched a thousand ships?’ (“Actually five thousand” ,she replied;”heavy duty”).. But then, in a cold sweat, he was prodded awake by his 56 year old wife. Reassured of reality he fell into blissful dream where he and The Other One were smothered by a gigantic slimy white wedding cake that looked exactly like the White House. “White!”, he cried. “Oh yes, yes,white,white house”, she echoed; “John, John…John, isn’t it?”.
