Why did the New York Times claim in an obituary for Rep. Ilhan Omar's father that he was "was a teacher in Somalia" when the Somali Sahan Journal reported instead that he was a prestigious colonel in the Somali Army of genocidal dictator Siad Barre?

sahanjournal.com/remembering-mi…
Although Rep. Ilhan Omar tells reporters her father was "a teacher of teachers" back home, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports that his nickname among Somalis in the Twin Cities was "Colonel."

startribune.com/nur-omar-moham…
Presumably, this smokescreen is all tied into the long-running scandal over whether Rep. Ilhan Omar's ex-husband is her brother. She claims her father was a teacher named "Nur Omar Mohamed" but he was more likely "Colonel Nur Said Elmi."

theblaze.com/op-ed/ilhan-om…
Rep. Ilhan Omar's late father is reported to have served as a colonel in Somalia's war of aggression in 1977 and defense in 1982, both against Ethiopia.

Whether or not he engaged in internal war crimes, such as the Isaaq Genocide of 1987-1989, is currently unknown.
Rep. Ilhan Omar recounts that when her family's mentor, the genocidal Somali dictator Siad Barre, fell in 1991, 20 armed men shot up their compound, causing them to flee Somalia. Evidently, the family had done enough things that lots of their neighbors wanted to kill them.
In general, we are indoctrinated to imagine that refugees are always innocent victims. But, some of the time, refugees were bully boys back home who had to flee when they lost the whip hand and the loved ones of their victims came for vengeance.

@nntaleb You should inform the World Bank that their "Harmonized Learning Outcomes" database of national school achievement test scores, which correlate spectacularly with earlier national IQ test score databases must be Fake News because reasons:

@nntaleb Here's my essay explaining the World Bank's Harmonized Learning Outcomes" database for 174 countries, which correlates closely with the various national IQ score databases assembled by Lynn and Vanhanen plus others:

@nntaleb Here is the top third of my graph of World Bank Harmonized Learning Outcome test scores on an SAT-like 200 to 800 scale with, unsurprisingly, Singapore in the lead: Image

How dare the Trump Administration deport somebody with such kindly, innocent eyes back to Jamaica where he spent his first 23 years of his life just because he kidnapped somebody during his first year in the United States? Image
Look at what an unfashionable meal this convicted kidnapper is forced to have with his family back in Jamaica! It's a Human Rights Violation that's he's not eating sushi at Sushi Noz in Manhattan. Image
That living room paint job color the convicted kidnapper must endure back home with his family in Jamaica is a War Crime: Image

The single most useful thing Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson could do to get liberals back on a more realistic track would be to publicly point out what they privately know: "The race gap in intelligence? It's real, and we have no clue how to eliminate it, but we can live with it."
"What we can probably do is improve schooling somewhat for all races, but that would almost certainly boost Asians and whites as much as blacks and Hispanics. But that's okay. If everybody got better educated, that would make America better."
"And, we need to publicly admit that the race gap in crime rate isn't going away in this century. Asians are always going to be less crime-prone than blacks. What we can do, however, is lower everybody's crime rate. They did it in NYC by being tough on crime."

@burrrgers @wolfstrength I was a 6 year old at Heathrow Airport in 1965 when a young man with hair down to his collar, the average length in 1972, walked in. "Look, it's a Beatle!" screamed a girl.

The jet-setters surged toward him.

It turned out to be Peter Noone of Herman and the Hermits. Image
@burrrgers @wolfstrength I don't know anything about women's hairstyles, but I suspect men's hairstyles haven't been changing as fast anymore as they did between 1964 and 1974.
@burrrgers @wolfstrength The amount that people _cared_ about male hair length in the late 1960s sounds crazy to 21st Century people.

Democrats need to realize that they became so egregiously hate-filled toward whites, men, straights etc. during the Great Awokening that they are now paying the price by having a lot of their sinecures and grants taken away by the normally nice people whom they demonized.
Most normies we're tolerant of a moderate amount of discreet affirmative action, useless NGO spending, and soft-major nonsense until beginning in 2013 and peaking in the "racial reckoning" of 2020-2023, the left went nuts with overt racist, sexist, and genderist hatred.
It turned out that a big problem for the left with their controlling the media is that the New York Times wouldn't tell its subscribers that their racist anti-white hate and other vices were getting out of control until it was too late.

@Paracelsus1092 The idea that Sutton Hoo was the burial site of Anglo-Saxon heroes rich from fighting Persia for Byzantium fits with the Pirenne Thesis that the real Dark Ages in northern Europe began with the rise of Islam that cut off Europe from the advanced civilizations of the Near East.
@Paracelsus1092 Shortly after the death of the Prophet in 632 AD, Islam ripped into the exhausted Byzantine and Persian empires who had bankrupted themselves fighting a long war. Perhaps the wealth of Constantinople had been paid out to mercenaries from as far as Sutton Hoo in England?
@Paracelsus1092 The Pirenne Thesis is that Europe would have bumped along after the barbarian invasions without a truly disastrous Dark Ages except that the rise of Islam cut it off from the wealthy lands of Spain, North Africa, and the Near East.
