New in PJ Media:
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu) has for some time now been the poster child not only for the legion of ungrateful, America-hating migrants, but for members of the House of Representatives who have become multimillionaires on a $174,000 annual salary.
The latter in particular has brought her unwelcome scrutiny: In February, House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) announced that he was opening an investigation after two companies Omar’s husband owns jumped in value from $51,000 to $30 million in value in a single year. Now, however, Omar is trying to make an end run around the whole investigation, and lessen the suspicion that she is a totally corrupt grifter, by claiming that the whole thing was a mistake. She and her hubby Tim Mynett don’t have $30 million after all. It was all just an “accounting error,” you see.
The Wall Street Journal reported Friday that while “an Omar disclosure filed last year showed she and her husband held assets of between $6 million and $30 million, a massive rise in wealth from her previous annual filing,” now “an amended filing” claims “the couple’s assets to be just $18,004 to $95,000. The forms don’t require exact values, only broad ranges.”
Man, that’s one massive accounting error. James Comer should find the error in itself worth looking into. Is Omar simply trying to cover something up? Or did she really hire the most inept accountants in the history of the world?
The great solon herself was going with the inept accountant theory, and apparently wants us to believe that she has simply been too busy serving the people to concern herself with such mundane matters as a phantom thirty million dollars: “Aides said that Omar looked at the form before it was filed in 2025, but that the error didn’t jump off the page for her because she isn’t involved with her husband’s businesses and she trusted the accuracy of the accountant who provided her husband’s figures.”
Omar spokeswoman Jacklyn Rogers claimed victory, saying: “The amended disclosure confirms what we’ve said all along: The congresswoman is not a millionaire. The congresswoman amended her disclosures voluntarily as soon as the discrepancy was identified.”
Okay, great. She is as honest as the day is long. That’s wonderful. And yet there is more. Back in January, before Comer announced his investigation, the New York Times, which has generally been quite friendly to Omar, reported that “the Justice Department under the Biden administration opened an investigation into Representative Ilhan Omar, Democrat of Minnesota, in 2024 to scrutinize her finances, campaign spending and interactions with a foreign citizen, according to people with knowledge of the matter.”
The Biden administration! When one’s own leftist political allies open an investigation on you, you’re either guilty as sin, beyond all denial and stonewalling, or they’re looking for a way to jettison you without backlash or embarrassment. Either way, not a good look for the patriotic servant of the people from Mogadishu, Minnesota.
There is more. Read the rest here.
Ok to be angry says
The excuse given was that both the winery (isn’t wine out of bounds for Muslims??) and venture capital firm (influence kickback machine) that her husband has a 1/3 interest in, somehow now have massive liabilities that wipe out the $30 million net worth. Right. Anyone can write a $30M iou and pretend that they don’t have any money. It’s just another semi legal trick to manipulate and lie about money and Omar’s ill gotten gains.

If they didn’t have the money, but posted that they did, it could be what those in NY trying to get Trump claimed he was doing; inflating the value of their property in order to get loans.
I personality believe it was part of the medical and food program fraud from her fellow somalians.
OLD GUY says
I’d have to agree with you on her finances, possible tie to fraud.
somehistory says
Thank you, Old Guy.
Huh?!? says
Why is she still here?

The writing from long ago, “Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.”
Firstly, she borrowed money to go to college. She married her brother to help him get into the country and go to college. At that time, she was supposedly broke. (she has not repaid her student loans)
She married her present husband….not one of her relatives previously….and he started some businesses besides the so-called consulting firm which she paid to help her win the election (the buying of ballots was not enough) And even after she married him, she paid his firm for consulting.
When it was first announced that she is a multimillionaire, she denied that it was true; she kept claiming that the claims were false, that she never said she had that much money, and said it was not her money but belonged to the **startups** her husband and his partner owned. She kept saying she didn’t have the money….that it belonged to the businesses.
Now her spokesperson says she **immediately** addressed the issue when it was revealed. “as soon as the discrepancy was identified.”
She should be asked exactly what that means, because this *revealing* of an “accounting error” has come weeks, if not months, after the 30 mil was discovered.
In my opinion, ilhan elmi, alias omar, is a criminal, a crook, a lying scammer and has no business in the halls of Congress, not even as a cleaner. She should be standing before a judge in a court of law, being made to answer for her crimes and then sent back to Africa. and no longer collecting the hundreds of thousands from taxpayers.
Somaliland wants her. They should get what they want.

“Somali-owned Minnesota transportation company calls contract cancellation ‘blatant discrimination'”
“Around 100 people rallied on the Capitol steps on Saturday, April 18, to protest a Missouri company that abruptly ended its contract with a Minnesota Somali-owned business.
Medical Transportation Management, a St. Louis-based manager and broker for managed care organizations across the country, will cancel its contract with Southdale Transportation Services after 20 years. The decision is effective May 8 and could result in the layoffs of 95 workers, most of them East African.
Ahmed shared a copy of the April 6 letter from MTM Manager Melissa Marengo, who confirmed that the broker will terminate its agreement with Southdale without cause. Michele Lucas with MTM said in a statement that MTM ended its contract because Southdale violated their agreement with “potential alleged violations of fraud, waste, and abuse.””
The muzzies were claiming to transport the little kids with autism,,,,,”10,000 trips”….which kids didn’t exist. It’s a very good reason for ending the contract.

“James Comer raises felony questions over Ilhan Omar’s finances after disclosure discrepancy”
“House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer is raising questions about possible felony conduct with Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar’s finances after a glaring discrepancy between an initial disclosure listing up to $30 million in net worth and a revised filing showing less than $100,000.
“Who makes a multimillion-dollar mistake on their financial disclosure form?” Comer asked Monday on “Hannity.”
“Either her accountant went to one of those ‘Quality Learing Centers’ in Minnesota, or she lied about it,” he continued, mocking an allegedly fraudulent Minneapolis daycare whose sign was notoriously misspelled.
“If she lied about it, that’s a felony.”
COMER WARNS WALZ ABSENCE AT MINNESOTA FRAUD HEARING WOULD BE ‘ADMISSION TO GUILT’ BY GOVERNOR
“This isn’t going to go away from her, so we’re going to continue to try to push for answers and see if her name pops up in any of these frauds that Vice President Vance and the House Oversight Committee are detecting in Minnesota,” he added.
House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., criticized Omar as a “complete fraud” over the weekend, amplifying the Republican voices critiquing the development.
“Quite frankly, if she is discovered to be involved in any of this fraud personally, that she benefited from it, even by her actions of promoting it and trying to resist investigations, she should be held accountable to the fullest extent,” he said.”
