 My son has narrated the last book I wrote.
Please consider listening to it and encouraging others to do so too. (Click on Book Cover) World & Nation Obama admin first launched the investigation into Ilhan Omar's alleged brother marriage A Biden-appointed US Attorney in Minnesota shut down the investigation in 2021 before Trump revived it The investigation into whether Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., married her brother in an alleged immigration fraud scheme in 2009 began under former President Barack Obama in 2016, Fox News Digital has confirmed. A U.S. Attorney in Minnesota, appointed by then-President Joe Biden, eventually shut down the probe in 2021, a source familiar with the matter told Fox News Digital. Now, the issue has been thrust back into the spotlight as part of a new federal investigation into the Somali-born congresswoman, part of which centers on whether she or her father committed immigration fraud on her application to become a U.S. citizen. Sources previously told Fox News Digital that Omar's "real name" is Ilhan Nur Said Elmi. In a federal court document, she was called "Ilhan Omar Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Omar." In 2009, Omar, then a U.S. citizen, legally married a man with that surname, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi. The pair officially split in 2017. Feds found evidence Ilhan Omar was in sham marriage with her ‘brother’ during 2016 probe Federal investigators found evidence that Rep. Ilhan Omar had entered into a sham marriage with a man believed to be her brother during a 2016 investigation by the FBI and Department of Homeland Security, but the case against the Minnesota Democrat stalled after prosecutors concluded that any potential crime occurred outside the five-year statute of limitations. The 2016 investigation into Omar’s marraige to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi was first reported by the New York Times and confirmed by The Post, with a source familiar with the probe claiming the “Biden US Attorney in Minnesota shut it down” shortly after taking office in 2021. It is not immediately clear what specific evidence was uncovered about Omar’s marriage to Elmi. Hegseth fires top Pentagon strategist accused of leaking classified Iran, Ukraine war information Lt Gen Brett Sylvia is accused of disclosing sensitive information to journalists about the Iran and Ukraine wars War Secretary Pete Hegseth fired one of the Pentagon’s senior strategic planners amid an investigation into allegations he leaked classified information to journalists about the Iran war, Russia’s war in Ukraine and other sensitive matters, a Department of War official told Fox News. The official said Lt. Gen. Brett Sylvia failed three polygraph examinations related to alleged disclosures of classified information. The investigation has been referred to the Justice Department. Sylvia is also accused of meeting journalists outside the Pentagon with the alleged intention of leaking classified material after Hegseth imposed new media restrictions requiring reporters to be escorted inside the building. CNN Poll: Dems Leading in Texas, Michigan Senate Races Democrat candidates lead in closely watched U.S. Senate races in Texas and Michigan less than a week before the midterm elections, according to CNN polls released Thursday. In Texas, Democrat James Talarico leads Republican Ken Paxton by 6 percentage points, 49% to 43%, while Democrat Abdul El-Sayed holds a 7-point advantage over Republican Mike Rogers in Michigan, 49% to 42%. The surveys, conducted by SSRS for CNN from Oct. 20-27, highlight the challenges facing Republicans as they fight to maintain control of the Senate amid concerns about the economy, the Iran war, and President Donald Trump's declining approval ratings.
Abdul El-Sayed’s dad sits on board of Islamic charity accused of funneling cash to Saddam Hussein Michigan Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed’s father sits on the board of an Islamic charity that was previously accused of funneling cash to late Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein’s regime. Imam Dr. Mohammed El-Sayed is currently a board member of Life for Relief and Development, a charity he’s worked with since at least 2020, according to tax forms. In 2004, the US military and FBI raided Life for Relief and Development’s Baghdad facilities, confiscating 20 boxes and 12 computers amid suspicions that the charity had been aiding insurgents, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. Alaska Gov. Orders Probe Into Peltola Senate Scheme Alaska's governor ordered an investigation into whether Democrat Mary Peltola's U.S. Senate campaign should face criminal or civil charges over allegations it recruited candidates to draw votes from Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan. Republican Gov. Mike Dunleavy announced Wednesday night that he directed the Alaska Department of Public Safety to investigate allegations that Peltola's campaign helped recruit a retired teacher named Daniel J. Sullivan to confuse voters and undermine the incumbent senator in Tuesday's election. The announcement followed a New York Times investigation detailing the campaign's alleged involvement in recruiting the candidate, who shares the Republican senator's first and last names.
Alaska governor orders probe of Mary Peltola Senate campaign over ‘Decoy Dan’ Sullivan scandal Alaska’s Republican governor announced early Thursday he was ordering an investigation into whether members of Democrat Mary Peltola’s Senate campaign should face criminal charges following the revelation that they recruited a candidate with the same name as GOP Sen. Dan Sullivan in a bid to siphon votes away from the incumbent. After the plot was revealed in a Wednesday New York Times report, Gov. Mike Dunleavy described it as “an organized effort to manipulate Alaska’s elections by recruiting candidates—including one with the same name as an incumbent U.S. Senator—to deliberately confuse voters and misdirect their votes.” “I am therefore directing the Department of Public Safety to investigate whether this scheme violated Alaska’s laws and whether criminal charges or civil action are warranted. The evidence will determine what happens next,” Dunleavy added. “Alaskans have a fundamental right to vote for the candidate they actually intend to support. Deliberately tricking voters into casting their ballots for someone else strikes at the integrity of our elections. Anyone or any organization found to have broken the law must be held accountable.” Netanyahu falls short of majority as Israel faces three possible paths to a new government Arab nation denies election meddling allegations as Israeli officials reject claims of widespread voting irregularities Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's governing coalition remained well short of a parliamentary majority Thursday as newly counted ballots showed a dramatic surge in support for Arab parties, potentially giving the opposition enough votes to challenge his control of parliament. With 93.8% of ballots counted as of 4 a.m. ET Thursday (10 a.m. local time in Israel), including votes from the double-envelope count, Netanyahu's right-wing and religious bloc was projected to win 53 seats in Israel's 120-member Knesset, compared with 48 for the opposition bloc led by former military chief Gadi Eisenkot. The two predominantly Arab parties were projected to secure a combined 19 seats, bringing the potential anti-Netanyahu parliamentary majority to 67. The updated figures showed Netanyahu's Likud remaining the largest individual party with 26 seats, followed by Eisenkot's Yashar party with 21 and former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's Beyachad party with 12. The figures remain preliminary.
Jack Smith got draft GOP fundraising emails and Trump donor info, documents show Former special counsel Jack Smith obtained draft fundraising emails and donor information from hundreds of President Trump’s supporters following the 2020 election, according to documents obtained by The Post. The records show that Smith was hoovering up details about potential donors to the Trump Make America Great Again Committee (TMAGAC) by obtaining draft fundraising appeals in which Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) asked for his supporters to contribute as “2020 Election Day Donors.” Smith’s team obtained the materials as part of the FBI’s “Arctic Frost” probe into Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election, an effort that culminated in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. Six Lindsay Clancy jury notes revealed in new court filing as prosecutors ask judge to deny her bid to get charges tossed The jury foreperson at Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial sent out a total of six notes before a judge was forced to declare a mistrial, new court papers revealed. Prosecutors included excerpts of the notes — which confirmed the panel was deadlocked for days before the decision-making process finally ended on Sept. 4 — as they asked a judge to deny Clancy’s bid to have the charges tossed. On Aug. 28, the jurors sent out a missive asking to see the pill bottles and knife the 36-year-old Duxbury, Massachusetts mom used in a suicide attempt after allegedly strangling kids Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months. Hillary Clinton says she regrets not dealing with 'reckless' Jim Comey in 2016 The former secretary of state said she wished she had challenged the FBI director's 'breach of precedent' more forcefully Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton revealed during a podcast discussion on Wednesday that she regretted not confronting former FBI Director James Comey more forcefully ahead of the 2016 presidential election. "I wish somebody had told me that I needed to take on Jim Comey," Clinton said on "High Stakes" alongside Kara Swisher. "I needed to really challenge his breach of precedent, his breaking the Justice Department's norms of not interfering in elections, his deliberate, reckless effort to curry favor with the Republicans. I wish I had taken it on in a very forcefully, frontal way. And I didn’t." Comey, while serving as FBI director in 2016, sent a letter to Congress on Oct. 28, 2016 — exactly 10 years ago Wednesday — informing lawmakers that the FBI would review newly discovered emails potentially related to its investigation into Clinton's use of a private email server. Just two days before the 2016 election, on Nov. 6, Comey informed Congress that the review had not changed the FBI's earlier conclusion that criminal charges against Clinton were not warranted. "Did I want to pick a fight with the director of the FBI? Well, in retrospect, yeah, I did. So, yeah. I wish I had been, you know, really in his face and picked a fight with him in a way," Clinton added. The Islamic Republic only survives on war — don’t give Tehran what it craves By Miad Maleki
“It’s a necessity more important than bread.” That’s how Iran’s rulers regard their drive to acquire nuclear weapons, an activist hard-liner recently declared. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s surprise visit to Israel this week, leaks about US and Israeli military preparations, and remarks by President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suggest Washington and Jerusalem are seriously weighing fresh strikes on Iran — largely to disrupt a nuclear rebuild that Tehran is now openly admitting. The regime’s unbending pursuit of nuclear weapons and its refusal to make peace remind us why it’s so dangerous — and why a new, limited round of military strikes may be necessary. One option reportedly under discussion: dropping the largest conventional bomb in the US arsenal, the GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast bomb — the “mother of all bombs” — to destroy access to Iran’s deeply buried Pickaxe Mountain complex. Democrats tried to trick Alaska voters. Peltola must answer Alaskans deserve better than this kind of chicanery. The Democratic Senate candidate needs to come clean By Jason Chaffetz
The Democratic Party and its U.S. Senate candidate in Alaska owe voters the truth. Not the denials Mary Peltola’s campaign keeps repeating, but the truth The New York Times documented this week. The Times reported that Peltola campaign aides and DSCC staffers worked to recruit additional candidates — including a man named Daniel J. Sullivan — to run and peel votes away from incumbent Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan under ranked-choice voting. Drawing on texts, documents and interviews, the paper reported that Peltola was "definitely aware" of the effort to seek out other people with the same name. The campaign and the DSCC denied involvement in the sham. But notably, none of the parties accused condemned it. |
