EXCLUSIVE When her father died in 2020, it was Ilhan Omar who provided the information for the death certificate. She claimed her father’s name was Nur Omar Mohamed. She also claimed that her paternal grandfather was named Omar Mohamed and that she didn’t know her paternal grandmother’s name. Oddly, his gravestone only includes his first name. It reads, “Aabe [Father] Nur, Son of Awo Yusuf.” “Awo” is a female given name, so Awo Yusuf must have been his mother’s name. It’s strange that her name was considered so important that it was the only one included on the gravestone, yet Ilhan denied even knowing her name. In any case, none of this explains why he was always called Nur Said Elmi by those who knew him, or why Ilhan’s full name is Ilhan Abdullahi Omar. According to Somali naming traditions, if her father’s name was Nur Omar Mohamed, she should be Ilhan Nur. Where does Abdullahi come from? It’s incredible that we let people into our country without confirming their identities, much less grant them citizenship and a seat in Congress.

Matthew Perry has recounted that the first time he prayed, he asked God to make him famous and gave God permission to do whatever He wanted to him. Within weeks, he was cast in Friends, and his wish came true. Although he made a classic deal with the devil—and even called it a “Faustian bargain”—he continued to believe that his struggles with drug addiction that ultimately killed him were the fulfillment of a bargain with God. The second time he prayed, he asked for help fighting his addiction. He felt the presence of God and stayed sober for two years, yet he still believed the same God who helped him had also granted his earlier, misguided wish. How could no one have pointed out to him the obvious error in that perception?

BECERRA: "If you want to know where a leader's going to take you, know where they've come from. I don't know if we've ever had a governor who comes from where I come from." ZAVALA: "Sacramento?" LMAO
What will be the biggest difference between Xavier Becerra and Gavin Newsom if he's elected governor? Becerra immediately pointed out his fluency in Spanish. He also signaled he won't jam the California Legislature:

It’s funny how “diverse” has come to mean “not white.” I recall parents describing an Oakland school that was more than 90% black as “diverse,” while criticizing white parents for favoring a school that had no racial majority. 🤨
I’m proud to have the most talented, hardest-working cabinet in Virginia’s history. They are also the most diverse cabinet Virginia has ever seen. Every single one of our cabinet secretaries were selected because they’re the best of the best in their respective fields. They also bring invaluable perspectives from across the Commonwealth — from Danville, Hampton Roads, Richmond, NOVA, and more. I’m grateful to get to work with these incredibly dedicated, hard-working, and talented cabinet officials to serve the Commonwealth of Virginia. richmond.com/opinion/column/…

One of the victims of the Zizian trans death cult was their elderly landlord. They bashed him on the head and then attacked him with knives and a sword. With barely any strength left, he managed to shoot them, killing one. That deceased Zizian was honored in a U.S. Senate resolution about the "epidemic of violence toward transgender people." It was introduced by Democratic U.S. Sen. Mazie Hirono and other Democrats. nitter.cf/BrandonStraka/status/2…

This is a key point. Some, feminists like J. K. Rowling, oppose Transgenderism because it harms women, and it does. Some oppose it because it harms children, and it does. These are valid critiques. But the core reason to oppose it is that it is FALSE, radically and evidently false. Anyone who tries seriously to defend it or believe it necessarily puts their own soul and reason in direct opposition to truth, and THIS HAS CONSEQUENCES. Falsehood doesn't merely harm other people, although it does do that; it harms the one who takes it into his heart and mind.
Defending trans ideology makes smart people stupid, scrupulous people unscrupulous, and honest people into liars. Once you see it, you can never unsee it -- and you will never not see it, because it is always, without exception, what happens. It cannot be otherwise because defending the most self-evident bullshit ever enshrined into law is beyond the capacities of even the most brilliant person, and there is no way to persist in it without recourse to sophistry and lies. When you tell someone deeply invested in their own goodness that membership in the sorority of the good requires them to defend the worst nonsense of the age, the result is always a scandal of some dimension. This is the most comically picayune of all such scandals, but it shares in common many key aspect of the great ongoing scandals that has left thousands of confused children sexually dysfunctional, sterilized, and on a medical leash for life (in addition to being explicitly aimed at the propagation of that scandal.)

This is true not just about climate hysteria. The entire woke movement is built on some vague sense of collective guilt that can only be relieved by senseless sacrifices.
So much of the climate hysteria is just aimless guilt roaming the earth in search of futile acts of atonement.

San Franciscans dismiss concerns about the horrors on the streets by pointing to neighborhoods that aren’t so bad. But no part of the city should be a no-go zone. Mothers and children should be able to leave their homes and go about their day without stepping over dead bodies.
There’s hundreds of young kids that live in Tenderloin. These kids see dead bodies practically every day and it’s not blurred when they see it. So if they see it and they stomach it I’m quite sure y’all adults who’s asking me to blur it out can stomach it too…

In her memoir, Ilhan Omar recounts how she was taught to lie about who her family was when she was a girl.

Narrator: turning parks and playgrounds into drug encampments is one of the reasons families give up and move away As a result, there won't even be many children to leave the drug encampments to
Think about your childhood, and how a little corner park like this with a basketball hoop and a swing set could be the best place on earth. Now, look at what we leave our children.

Too many Oakland parks either look like this or are gated off and inaccessible to the community to prevent homeless encampments from taking over. Shame on Oakland City Hall for taking victory laps while families can't even enjoy their neighborhood parks.

I'm not the right-wing candidate. I'm the right THING candidate. Store owners pay taxes while illegal vendors steal their business. Nonprofit CEOs make millions while the homeless suffer on our streets. Politicians like Becerra line their pockets while working families struggle to pay rent. In California, people are punished for doing the right thing. In just nine days, we say ENOUGH.

In her memoir, Ilhan Omar’s sister, Sahra Noor, recounts feeling taken aback at the prospect of going to a church to receive charity in the US, given that she had never been near a church because of the severe persecution of Christians in Somalia by Muslims.

They will impose conformity not so much through a centralized government authority—which would violate the Constitution—but by a million little cancellations.
We got into a @lyft after being assaulted & ejected by @ThornsFC . One of our party is disabled w/a walker. The driver started the ride & then asked us if we were "the ones in the news" from the game. One of us said yes, & he immediately stopped the ride 1/n

This has happened to me more than once! So frustrating when someone repeats your reporting and pretends like they’re the first. If you are interested in the full Ilhan Omar story, check out the links here. 👇
The @NYPost is simply re-doing work I did seven years ago and calling it their own work product. The marriage certificate was in a Powerline article I wrote in 2019. Folks, please instead share the list of our 25 original articles from 2016-2020 in my post linked below.

If it weren't for @TracyBethHoeg, I believe America's children would have stayed masked much longer. She and I fought side by side to give children normal school again. Here is who she is and what she did 🧵

In 2026, this is how women are treated for peacefully standing up for their rights. There was no way I was going to leave that stadium of my own free will. We did nothing wrong.

So it turned out that this extremely weird video of Ilhan Nur Said Elmi is sending a message. Read the translation of the background song.
