Ilhan Omar’s 30 Million Dollars Have Vanished Into Thin Air, and She Doesn’t Want to Talk About It

Talk about bad luck. But the winsome and patriotic Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu) is handling it with her customary equanimity and grace, and in doing so, is giving all of us a lesson in how to deal with adversity.

It seems, you see, that Ilhan Omar had $30 million, and now she doesn’t have it, but she doesn’t seem to be particularly concerned about where it went. Easy come, easy go, right? Allah giveth and Allah taketh away. And sometimes Allah moveth Ilhan Omar and her accountants, under the cloud of possible ethics charges, to try to explain away the disappearance of $30 million as a simple clerical error, the sort of thing anybody could do, you know, when you forget to carry the two or something. Truly, Allah’s ways are most wondrous, and mysterious to the eyes of mere mortals.

And it may be because of her overflowing piety that Omar simply doesn’t want to talk about the missing $30 million. She has more important things to do, after all. Above all, she has to serve her constituents. Omar has won praise from a former Somali prime minister for making her highest priority not “the interest of Minnesota, nor is it the interest of the American people, the interest of Ilhan is that of the Somali people and Somalia.”

The good folks of Somalia need honest, energetic representation, and that’s what Ilhan Omar is in Washington for. How can this selfless public servant be expected to turn her attention from the well-being of the Somali people to some piddling, impertinent questions about a few missing millions?

And so it was altogether fitting and proper that Omar should stonewall some insolent kuffar who tried to make a mountain out of this particular molehill. Fox News reported Thursday that Omar “refused to address her revised financial disclosures that could imply she has a negative net worth after the progressive lawmaker dramatically reduced the reported value of assets tied to her husband’s business ventures.”

The audacious infidel from Fox News Digital, no doubt a “white supremacist” as well as an “Islamophobe,” dared to ask Omar: “Can you tell us if your husband still has the consulting business and the wine business?” This was an important question for both Omar and her husband Tim Mynett (no, this one’s not her brother; that was an earlier husband). As Fox explains, “in Omar’s 2024 financial disclosure records, Mynett’s share in his winery was valued between $1 million and $5 million, and his share at the venture capital advisory firm was valued between $5 million and $25 million. Now, his equity interests are both listed at $0.”

Interesting development among some Western Islamic apologists in their shame over the Aisha hadith: they're now denying the reliability of the Bukhari ahadith saying she was a child when Muhammad married her, hence calling into question the reliability of Bukhari as whole. (1/5)
This is an EXTREMELY risky game, for though there is a small number of Qur'an-only Muslims, traditional Islam does not and cannot exist without the Hadith, which supplies the asbab an-nuzul (occasion of revelation), thus explaining much of the Qur'an that is, (2/5)
in Ibn Warraq's words, "gnomic, allusive, elusive," and well-nigh incomprehensible on its own. Not only do the Qur'an's repeated exhortations to obey the messenger become impossible to obey without the Hadith, but much of Islamic practice is based on Hadith, not Qur'an. (3/5)

They're trying to draw a false equivalence between Hinduism and Islam. Islamic jihadis have committed 37000 jihad terror attacks worldwide since 9/11. If Hindus commit 37000 terror attacks, then they might have a case.
They're blaspheming Hinduism because of ongoing blasphemy of Islam, proclaiming themselves to free speech absolutists. Very well. I also am a free speech absolutist. There should be no criminal penalties anywhere for blasphemy against any religion. But they're missing the point.
People are blaspheming Islam in order to show that they will not submit to the violent intimidation and threats that some Muslims issue to those who criticize Islam. People need to stand for free speech on that point because that is where it is challenged. But people aren't...

Far-Left fascist "journalist" @lukeobrien is whining that he was supposedly threatened in comments on an article exposing his unethical behavior. Yet the comments on his own @huffpost piece on @amymek contain numerous threats against her, including:
William MunnyDid she do something illegal? ..... Or are you saying she should be disappeared to some sort of Soviet style Gulag?

I'd say there are ways to deal with the AmyMeks of the world. All of them are done, by whatever means necessary, with extreme prejudice.

Hi @KFILE! I’m doing a story about you. Please answer a few questions: 1) How did you decide that foes of jihad mass murder and Sharia oppression of gays, women, etc were worse than jihad mass murderers themselves?
2) Why didn’t you ask me for comment on this piece defaming me? Did you ask the other people you defamed for comment?
3) Did you get paid by any individual or group other than CNN to write this story? If so, who?
4) Are you aware that there have been over 30,000 jihad attacks around the world and an even greater casualty count? Do you really think in light of that fact that “Islamophobia” is a worse problem than jihad terror?
