Wow! Color me SHOCKED that Yahoo News picked up this story from the Louisville Courier Journal... Sen. Rand Paul offers Rep. Ilhan Omar a trip back to Somalia to 'appreciate America more' Republican Sen. Rand Paul is offering to buy Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar a plane ticket to visit her home country of Somalia to learn to be more grateful for living in the United States. Omar is one of four congresswomen — known as "The Squad" — who President Donald Trump told to “go back" to their ancestors' countries instead of criticizing U.S. policies. A few days later, Trump held a campaign rally in North Carolina where the crowd chanted "send her back" when the president spoke of Omar, a Somalian refugee who came to the U.S. as a child. Trump condemned the chant when later asked by reporters but then called those who attended the rally "patriots" in subsequent comments. "I'm not saying we forcibly send her anywhere," Paul said in an interview last week with Breitbart News, a conservative-leaning outlet. "I’m willing to contribute to buy her a ticket to go visit Somalia. I think she can look and maybe learn a little bit about the disaster that is Somalia." Sen. Mitch McConnell: President Donald Trump 'is not a racist' The Kentucky Republican then criticized the East African country for having "no capitalism" or "God-given rights" under in a constitution. He said Omar "might come back and appreciate America more" after visiting Somalia. An Omar spokesperson could not be reached for comment. Omar said in a recent op-ed to the New York Times that the "send her back" chant "will be a defining moment in American history." She added that this marks a "fight for the soul of our nation." “Throughout history, demagogues have used state power to target minority communities and political enemies, often culminating in state violence,” Omar said in the op-ed. "Today, we face that threat in our own country, where the president of the United States is using the influence of our highest office to mount racist attacks on communities across the land.” Paul, who ran against Trump for president in 2016, has defended the president against charges of racism in the past. A year ago, when Trump reportedly referred to African nations as "s---hole countries" Kentucky's junior senator said the comments weren't constructive, but that it was "unfair" to label the president a racist. Paul has a budding relationship with the president and was recently tapped to help with negotiations with Iran. He has defended Trump over the tweets aimed at the congresswomen, which include Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York; Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts; and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan. Also: Gov. Matt Bevin rubs elbow with President Donald Trump at private event in West Virginia The senator told Breitbart that in the city of Bowling Green, where he lives, there are many immigrants and refugees who are great citizens, but that those people are thankful to be in America. "Then I hear Rep. Omar say, 'Oh, America is a terrible place, there is no justice here,'" Paul said. “Well, she came here and we fed her, we clothed her, she got welfare, she got school, she got healthcare, and then, lo and behold, she has the honor of actually winning a seat in Congress, and she says we’re a terrible country? I think that’s about as ungrateful as you can get." Paul's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Reporter Phillip M.

I think this video, filmed at Mall of America, may help illustrate how much the Minneapolis area has changed over the past 20 years. I was astonished. No wonder Omar won the election. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6fQI_qB1JE | |||

They do seem to like to "hang out" in those places. Despite the fact that they are less than 2% of the state's population, they make an oversized observable presence in the Twin Cities area. | |||

I think many of us in rural MN would be perfectly fine with being annexed by the Dakotas. I doubt Canada wants the metro area either. OTOH: If Omar's BS helps flip 10 Electoral votes to Trump next year... https://www.foxnews.com/opinio...trump-justin-haskins | |||

https://www.breitbart.com/poli...air-with-ilhan-omar/ The wife of a Democrat consultant alleges her husband engaged in an extramarital affair with freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) in recent months The New York Post, citing divorce filings obtained by the newspaper, reports Dr. Beth Jordan Mynett said her husband Tim Mynett admitted to having an affair with Omar in April. Dr. Mynett also alleges her spouse dropped a “shocking declaration of love” for the far-left lawmaker and dumped her soon after, state filings submitted to the Superior Court of the District of Columbia on Tuesday ... here is the crazy part: The development comes after a Daily Mail report stating Omar is no longer living with her husband, Ahmed Hirsi, who she fired as a policy advisor Before Hirsi, the Minnesota Democrat was married to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi. Omar has faced scrutiny stemming from a joint tax return she filed with Hirsi in 2014 and 2015 — before they were actually married and while Omar was legally wed to another man. Omar has claimed that she married Hirsi, who then went by Ahmed Aden, in an Islamic ceremony in 2002, though never married legally The pair split up 2008 and she married Elmi, legally, the next year. Even though the lawmaker split from Elmi in 2011, she remained married to him while she filed tax returns with Hirsi. Records show she divorced Elmi before marrying Hirsi. Elmi has faced allegations that he is Omar’s brother, a claim that Omar has denied. | |||

Wonder if those mall folks have a job or if they are living on all the free stuff and social security benefits the misguided government gives them at our expense? ****************************************************W5SCM "We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution" - Abraham Lincoln "I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go" - Abraham Lincoln | |||

If it can be substantiated, it will die regardless. She is a leftist. That means she is a hypocrite. The leftist media will give it the tiniest minimum of coverage to claim they’re not ignoring it and promptly ignore it. Business as usual.

I'm a furriner, and have no dog in this race, except to say that I would happily send $10 to a Fund-me that sent ANYONE unhappy with the place they are now living back to the unarguable sh*thole that they came from. In fact, I'm amazed that the airline sales desks are not filled to cramming with the vast numbers of dissatisfied 'New Americans' who are disillusioned by having food every day, somewhere to sleep every night that isn't different from the last night, a police force that doesn't graduate the amount of 'peace' they keep depending on how much you can pay them, the right to worship whatever deity they might dream up, and all the things that other Americans seem to take for granted. | |||

Tac, our nation has reached a stage where education has become simple indoctrination. Gubbermint provides some 40% of the population with their means to live without worry or work, or responsibility. Not to mention that our so-called education consists of nothing but brain washing. I have not read Alinsky's contribution but from what I have heard what we are seeing now is right out of his preaching. Our nation is in serious danger. In the past, I have heard that the way to destroy a nation was to destroy its religious systems, education systems, and the rest follows naturally. Seems like we are there. Elk There has never been an occasion where a people gave up their weapons in the interest of peace that didn't end in their massacre. (Louis L'Amour) "To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors, is sinful and tyrannical.
