New in PJ Media:
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu) is a premier member of the leftist establishment, and so she is unlikely to suffer any serious penalties for her misdeeds, but the evidence for those misdeeds is piling ever higher. Omar has not handled this very well, responding “Not to my knowledge” when asked if she actually married her brother in order to commit immigration fraud and playing her torn and frayed “racism” and “Islamophobia” cards against other allegations, and now she has gone even farther in her efforts to project a serene and untroubled business-as-usual front. This time, however, her gambit could easily backfire.
Fox News reported Monday that the marginally embattled Somalia-First congresswoman “is set to share the stage with far-left streamer Hasan Piker on Monday night despite mounting opposition from fellow Minnesota Democrats, some of whom have publicly urged the congresswoman to cancel the appearance just eight days before the midterm elections.”
Indeed. Some Democrats are getting quite nervous: “Rep. Angie Craig, D-Minn., has called Piker’s rhetoric ‘polarizing and dangerous’ and said embracing him is ‘a mistake,’ while Sen. Amy Klobuchar’s gubernatorial campaign called a number of his past statements ‘reckless and unacceptable.’ Other Democratic officials and party groups have gone further, calling on Omar and state Sen. Omar Fateh, who is hosting the sold-out Minneapolis event, to cancel the appearance.”
Yet it looks as if the event is going to go on, and it’s easy to see why. From the standpoint of the two-tier justice system, brazen-it-out far left, Omar’s critics are being small-minded and unimaginative. They look at Piker’s remarks about how America deserved 9/11, his open support for Hamas, his support for lynching black people, his claim that the U.S. is more murderous than al-Qaeda and all the rest of it, and they see political suicide. Ilhan Omar, however, sees political redemption.
How can that possibly be? Omar is testing the limits of what the leftist establishment will put up with from her, and betting that there aren’t actually any limits at all. The establishment needs her, and she knows that very well. To throw a black Muslim female congresswoman under the bus, well, that’s what Republicans would do, but not the party of Ted Kennedy and Robert Byrd and Al Sharpton and the rest of the rogues gallery.
Omar must know how much trouble Piker has caused Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, who has nevertheless steadfastly refused to disavow one of his most influential supporters, and she has doubtless noticed that El-Sayed still has a very good chance of becoming the first Marxist Sharia-adherent Muslim in the United States Senate. She sees how top Democrats are sticking with El-Sayed, knowing that to abandon the party’s most energized, determined vanguard would be tantamount to political suicide.
There is more. Read the rest here.

With strong support from Democrats, Islam’s Muslims will continue their deceptions with confidence to ultimately conquer Non-Muslims, “by their own hands” as the Muslim Brotherhood has said, using Muslim deceit, discrimination, segregation, theft, violence, and terrorism as taught in Islamic Law and in Islam’s Qur’an(Qur’an 9:5, 29, 41, 111; 49:15, etc.). The Qur’an teaches that Allah is a deceiver, a great deceiver, as are Islam’s Muslims(Qur’an 3:28, 54; 7:99; 8:30, etc.). Allah in Qur’an 3:54 says, “And they deceived, and Allah deceived. And Allah is the best deceiver.” Allah in Qur’an 8:30 says, “…And Allah is the best deceiver.” Allah in Qur’an 13:42 says, “And indeed, those before them deceived, so to Allah all the deception…”.
