New in PJ Media:
Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu) recently raised some eyebrows even more than she usually does, when she delivered a speech to Somalis in Minneapolis in which she more than once gave the impression that her loyalty was not to the government in Washington, but to the one in Mogadishu. Her friends and supporters among the far-left cognoscenti, however, rushed to dismiss any concerns about her dual loyalty (or her single loyalty to Somalia) by claiming that she was simply talking about serving her constituents in Minnesota. Sure. A new video, however, came to light Friday, that will be harder for Omar and her minions to wave away.
Dr. Salman Caaro has the goods on Omar this time, and it’s understandable that he would have an axe to grind against her. Caaro describes himself on his X page as a “Journalist | Doctor | Father | PhD in psychology and a proud Somalilander American.” Somaliland is a former province of Somalia that has declared its independence; Omar raised the ire of Somalilanders in her first dual-loyalty speech by vowing that Somalia would win back its lost territory, which would mean the obliteration of Somaliland as an independent entity.
Now Caaro has found footage of Omar from 2022, once again speaking in Somali to a Somali audience as she was in the video that began the present controversy (which is, of course, all on the right). She begins by saying: “We must fix our roads.” Nothing wrong with that, except that she isn’t talking about the roads in her congressional district. She is talking about roads in Somalia.
Omar continues:
I am an American migrant in the U.S. Congress. But I am a Somali girl, a girl with your lineage, a girl with your language, a girl with your religion, that was a young child taken from her country, that misses her country and wishes to live there, and share with its people. I am hopeful in the future that me and my children will be able to raise our kids in this land, where I was born and raised. To make that possible, there is a lot that we need to work on together to make our land a more stable and prosperous place. That is felt by all.
If this translation is accurate, and there is no reason to believe that it isn’t since Caaro knows his own native language, Omar is envisioning returning to Somalia with her children and staying, as she says that both she and her children will raise their children there.
So Ilhan Omar is thinking about growing old and playing with her grandchildren in a cozy compound in Mogadishu, but she doesn’t say anything about her current husband, Tim Mynett, to whose political consulting firm Omar paid nearly $2,800,000 (remember, the rules only apply to “MAGA Republicans” and “right-wing extremists,” not to privileged members of the leftist elite).
There is more. Read the rest here.

In this case it just shows that the US legislation is naive to make immigrants eligible for office.
Whether or not she and her brothers have entered the US legally is a other matter. In this case it is about implementation of the US laws which are actually passed.
The US is self destructing.
FYI says
What the Left loves to do is say that criticism of ilhan omar is somehow racist but that won’t work with Somali critics of Ilhan omar will it?
Any criticism of islam is “islamophobic”{There is no such thing!}
Religious cults are not above criticism….except islam.
If Omar hates the West so much then she should go back to Somalia where she seems to prefer to be.She probably would not have a political career. there.
FYI says
That astonishing video we saw of Omar being booed by thousands of Somalis?
Are Somalis being racist{of course not}but they do seem to be tired by Omar’s political incompetence.
Some might think that Ilhan Omar has “trafficked in hate{and deception} all her life”
It is like she can’t believe she is getting away with it.
It seems thousands of Somalis do see through that.
T.jefferson says
“ but I am a Somali girl who misses my country”
Good…. Then go back!!!!!!!
GE says
+?‼️
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Yeah, what’s stopping her? Is she really waiting for Mogadishu to become Minneapolis before she makes such a move?
maria says
Yes, you and the whole clans must be immediately sent to Somalia
deze MN bee says
I’m just a material Somali girl,
Not for the very first time.
Pick it up,
Pick it up,
I’m a burden!
I’m a burden!
Not for the very first time!

“Why should she spend even one more minute so far away from the land of her dreams?”
Furthermore, why should she be allowed to spend one more penny of the thousands she has been paid to represent all citizens of the district which selected her, but worked only for those like her?
As Gov. Ron DeSantis said, boot her from Congress all the way back to *her* country.
Do it now. She came to the country through fraud….her name is really ilhan elmi….not omar.
Omar was a name on a list which b. clinton was using to allow people into this country when he was president. Elmi was a name forbidden entry. So ilhan’s terrorist daddy used fraud to enter, by claiming his name was Omar.
Send her where she wishes to go.
Question: do her children already have children? How old are her children that she wants to “raise” in somalia?
How do her American born children feel about going to live in somalia? Since she came by way of fraud, how does that affect her children’s claims to be American?
And when she returns, will the mozlums there accept that she married an infidel?
John Smith says
Somehistory, I wondered why you called her Elmi and not Omar.
somehistory says
John, I’m glad you know now. Hope things are going well for you and your family.
John Smith says
Thank you Somehistory everything is going so well for me and my family, I have had a stress full few months were I could of lost a considerable amount of money in a property investment I made (and I’m not a rich man) but fortunately everything has worked out in my favour, but I could of lost a lot.
Hope you and your family are OK
Kristen says
I will personally help her pack up her shit and drive her sleazy jihadi ass to the nearest airport. GTFOH!
Keith O says
Lets see her little minded sycophant enablers talk their way around this little gem.
They will probably claim it as being done with AI.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
I just hope a future Trump administration recognizes Somaliland as an independent country. It’ll be hilarious to watch our “Somali girl” howl w/ rage ?

“Congresswoman Asserts That Criticism Directed at Rep. Ilhan Omar is Simply Rooted in Racism”

Well, if she returns: GOOD RIDDANCE! THE SOONER THE BETTER! No problem with that!
joanofark06 says
It’s not like she doesn’t have the thousands of dollars it would take to fly there, with her AND her children (and “husband”?), with all the money she makes in her cushiony job!
davidafoot says
The infiltration of Marxism and Islam in ALL the West is incredible and all pervasive, this is just like the House of Commons in England! Plain treason! What are we doing? Are we ALL tired of life?
OLD GUY says
The American people are all too busy, working, cell phoning, X boxing, watching TV, following sports to pay attention to the political non-sense that will destroy their lives if left unchecked. Way to many of our political leaders are bought and paid for by special interest groups that only promote what is profitable for their donors.
The political contribution laws and rules need to limit all contributions equally from individuals and any group or special interest to the same amount,. We need to limit campaign spending by individuals and parties as well as introducing term limits across the board for all political positions and agency heads/directors of government positions. Mat not cure all of our problems but would sure be a step in the right direction for America.

““A few days ago, we heard the news about some people claiming to be Somalis getting into an agreement with Ethiopia,” Omar said.
(“some people”…are these the same kind of “people” who “did something”?)
“I got calls from a lot of people saying, ‘Ilhan, you need to talk to the U.S. government; what is the government of the U.S. doing?’ My answer to their question was that the U.S. government will do what we tell them to do about it. We need to be confident in ourselves.”
“We live in this country; it is the country that we pay tax to, and it is the country that one of your daughters is in. As long as I am in the U.S. Congress, no one will take a way in the Somali sea or water. And I will not support the U.S. government in supporting other people to rob us. Rest assured that it will not happen, Minnesota. The lady that you sent to Congress knows about you, and she feels your interest like you all do,” she said.
Omar expressed gratitude to Somali President Hassan Sheikh for “reminding everyone that even if Somalia is in crisis, we are people of talent who know their country and whose country cannot be put in danger.”
“I want to congratulate the Somalis in Minnesota and the Somalis everywhere on how you all are united and how you all supported our President, who needs our support,” she said. “Somalia is Somalia, and Somalis are all one; we are all brothers and sisters. No one can divide our land; we are missing land, and we will search for it soon. No one will divide whatever land that we have now.”
when she says “our president”….is she referring to biden or the somalia president?
