Andrea Widburg:
“…From the moment Ilhan Omar emerged on the national political scene, rumors followed that she had married her own brother as part of a fraudulent immigration and education scheme. Eventually, intrepid bloggers tracked down enough documentary evidence to justify an FBI investigation. And now, at long last, a witness has emerged from the shadows to flesh out the story.
Scott Johnson, at PowerLine, and David Steinberg, writing at both PJ Media and The Blaze, have relentlessly teased out the facts behind Omar’s complicated marriage and family life. While Steinberg has been on the trail of documents, Johnson, a Minneapolis resident, met people in the Minneapolis Somali community. Steinberg found enough documentary evidence of marital and immigration fraud to set the FBI on Omar. Meanwhile, Johnson filled out the narrative.
Over the years, members of the Somali community began to trust Johnson with the inside story of Omar’s escapades. On Thursday, Abdihaikim Osman Nur (aka Abdihakim Osman) one of those sources finally went public with the story of how Omar first married Ahmed Hirsi in a Muslim ceremony, without a marriage license, and then married her flaky, effeminate, British-based brother Ahmed Elmi in a Christian ceremony (which would have been meaningless to both of them), this time with a marriage license.
Omar and her brother/husband Elmi attended North Dakota State using student loans – even as Omar and Hirsi were living together as husband and wife with their two children. Omar and Elmi only divorced in 2017, at which point she had a formal civil ceremony with Hirsi, right before her election.
Omar than moved from the criminal to the scandalous. Although now legally married to Hirsi, the father of her three children, Omar began to have an affair with Tim Mynett, a married father-of-one who was her chief fundraiser. Omar’s campaign sent him more than a half-million dollars in business in 2019 alone.
In November, Omar and Hirsi divorced, with Omar finding $250,000 to buy him out of the marriage. Then, in December, Mynett and his wife divorced, with the judge refusing to allow Mynett’s wife to make a statement in court about Mynett’s affair with Omar…
…Omar’s peccadillos and possible criminal conduct matter. Since her election to the House, she has become one of the faces of the modern Democrat party. Along with her cronies Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib, as well as tag-a-long Ayanna Pressley, these four women represent everything that separates the modern Democrat party from the party of John F. Kennedy.
It’s not just that these women want open borders, socialized medicine, high taxes, and the end of Donald Trump’s presidency that makes them newsworthy and, indeed, important. It’s that these are congresspeople who are open about their hatred and contempt for Americans, as well as open about their anti-Semitism…
…Ilhan Omar and her posse, however, are the Id – they are the deep, immature, demanding forces behind leftism that have now been given leave to lead the Democrat party. That’s why Ilhan Omar matters – she’s one of the toddlers in the driver’s seat of our nation and the fact that she is utterly unprincipled and will do anything she wants to achieve her goals should frighten us all…”
She also came to this country illegally under a false name. The MSM is not interested in the story. I wonder why?
MATT TAIBBI:
“…What a catastrophe Wednesday night was for Mike Bloomberg. The New York plutocrat was kicked in the teeth by Elizabeth Warren in the first minutes — she denounced him as a Trump-like “arrogant billionaire” who called women “horse-faced lesbians” — and never made it back to his feet.
Bloomberg stood in mute fury as his $400 million campaign investment went up in smoke. His contempt for democracy and sense of entitlement surpass even Donald Trump, who at least likes crowds — Bloomberg’s joyless imperiousness makes Trump seem like Robin Williams.
That Bloomberg has been touted as a potential Democratic Party savior across the top ranks of politics and media is an extraordinary indictment of that group of people…”
Fire the lot and replace with new.

I&I Editorial
“…It is extremely difficult if not impossible to defeat an incumbent president when the economy is doing well. Just ask 1984 Democratic nominee Fritz Mondale, or 1996 Republican nominee Bob Dole.
In the case of Donald Trump, the economy isn’t just healthy; it’s reached unprecedented milestones. America is enjoying the longest expansion in history. Unemployment reached and remains near a 50-year low. Nearly 7 million full-time jobs have been generated under Trump, including nearly a half million manufacturing jobs, after two decades of serious manufacturing decline widely viewed as irreversible.
There are two tacks from which to choose in confronting this politically. Democrats can argue that our prosperity is grossly exaggerated. Or they can claim they deserve the credit for the Trump economy.
Which of these strategies, both decidedly dubious in their chances of success, have the Democrats picked?
Both.
House Majority Whip James Clyburn is considered a kingmaker in the upcoming Democratic primary in his home state of South Carolina, where black support is vital. “I talk to African Americans. I go to church with them. And I know they’re not doing better,” Clyburn told ABC on Sunday. “If you go with unemployment numbers to determine people’s status, then you have to say that slaves were in very good shape because they were fully employed,” the House’s number three Democrat added. Later in the week, Clyburn repeated himself to Fox’s Neil Cavuto.
What an insult to more than 19½ million of Clyburn’s fellow blacks currently working, to suggest that they’re not really laboring for themselves and that their jobs are lacking in dignity.
Similar to Clyburn’s contention that employment statistics don’t really have value as an economic indicator, Nobel economics laureate, Bill Clinton economic adviser, and “Third Way” theorist Joseph Stiglitz has actually called for the abandonment of using gross domestic product to measure economic health. Sore losers always blame the rules when their opponents win…”
Trump Wins Another Democratic Debate https://t.co/aWMLR0zbLW

Charles Hurt:
“…Welcome, Mr. Bloomberg, to the 2020 presidential campaign that you are supposed to salvage for Democrats.
It was almost painful to watch all the blows landed on the bewildered Mr. Bloomberg, the savior with the invisible campaign. Last night, Mr. Bloomberg was the Incredible Shrinking Candidate.
Which is a really terrible thing when you already start out so tiny.
The whole debate offers an astonishing indictment of the current Democratic Party that a guy like Mr. Bloomberg can rocket to the top of the heap without a single day of actual campaigning and in spite of his political record.
Just a few elections back, he endorsed former President George W. Bush, a Republican, for reelection. Heck, Mr. Bloomberg himself was a Republican more recently than that.
And in 2012, Mr. Bloomberg only begrudgingly endorsed former President Barack Obama — a Democrat — for reelection just days before the election. Today, of course, Mr. Bloomberg is running tens of millions of dollars worth of ads claiming that he was a crucial right-hand man of Mr. Obama’s during his presidency.
To understand just how devastating this crack-up of the Democratic Party is, consider this: The only candidate other than Mr. Bloomberg who has a shot at the nomination refuses to actually join the Democratic Party. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont is a “Democratic Socialist.”
Even now since Mr. Bloomberg officially switched his party registration to “Democrat,” he is a curious candidate for the party to run against President Trump in November.
First is his towering arrogance. In a memo released by his campaign this week, Mr. Bloomberg’s staff wag their fingers at all the actual Democrats in the race and say they must abandon their own campaigns to make way for Mr. Bloomberg.
Of former Vice President Joe Biden (Mr. Obama’s actual right-hand man during his presidency), Mr. Bloomberg’s campaign officials warned, “his continued presence in the race — along with that of [Pete] Buttigieg, and [Amy] Klobuchar — will siphon votes away from the best performing Sanders-alternative (Mike Bloomberg) and increase the likelihood of a Sanders blowout.”
This from a guy who presently has earned exactly ZERO delegates, lecturing four people who have at least proven they can win a delegate.
And then the first words out of his mouth during his first live appearance on a debate stage, he declared that Mr. Sanders — the odds-on favorite to win the Democratic nomination — will never beat Mr. Trump in the general election.
And then there was the rest of the debate. It was almost like Mr. Bloomberg joined the stage to give Mr. Biden a hand. I mean, next to Mr. Bloomberg, Mr. Biden came off like a brain surgeon.
It was so bad, Joe Biden could actually turn around and win South Carolina next week. All thanks to Mike Bloomberg…”
