As The World’s Smallest Violin Plays The World’s Saddest Song
According to a writer for the ever-simpering Brit Independent, no politician has ever been treated as scabrously as… …Mitt Romney? Brett Kavanaugh? No, no no no! It’s Ilhan Omar! She’s got a sinecure seat in a district no less one-party than East Berlin in 1974. She’s politically bulletproof; she could shoot down an Israeli airliner…

Sovereign
Joe Biden, reacting to Israel’s decision to deny entry to people who advocate its destruction, said:“I have always been a stalwart supporter of Israel—a vital partner that shares our democratic values. No democracy should deny entry to visitors based on the content of their ideas—even ideas they strongly object to. And no leader of the…

Minnesota’s Intellectual Titan Strikes Again
Former Miss Iraq Sarah Idan lights up Rep. Ilhan Omar – and Muslim extremism: “Omar does not represent me as a Muslim, (she) does not represent millions of Muslims in the Middle East. You know like in Arab countries we call her the Muslim Brotherhood,” Idan, 29, said on the podcast The Sara Carter Show on…

Kicking And Screaming
The Star Tribune, motivated (I’d suspect) by the very real spectre of being made to look like an in-the-bag PR flak for the DFL (perish the thought) by mushrooming coverage from out-of-town and national media, finally reports on Ilhan Omar’s alleged marital “irregularities” New investigative documents released by a state agency have given fresh life…

Virtue-Hitchiking
Who knew – Berg’s Seventh Law covers intra-left squabbles as well. Cultural appropriation is bad – unless, apparently, you’re appropriating it from other junctions in the intersectional map. And Kira Davis has having nothing to do wtih it: Since the “Broad Squad” came on the scene we have been incessantly barraged with rage rants about…

Squad Level Tactics
SQUAD: “America is a racist, place, built around institutionalizing white supremacy and victimizing women, people of color and the poor, and is controlled by Jewish money”. NON-SQUAD: “So it sounds like you don’t care much for America?” SQUAD: “RACIST!”

The Strib Is Ilhan Omar’s PR Flack
This hit twitter yesterday; Ilhan Omar’s spin doctor, Ben Goldfarb, caught in the emailed act of trying to fix media and pundit coverage of the perennially-scabrous Ilhan Omar: My God. Props to @bloisolson for sharing. From @IlhanMN’s crisis manager Ben Goldfarb: “Does anyone in the team have a relationship with Blois? Someone should probably reach…

Minnesota’s Ongoing Humiliation
Ilhan Omar on the little matter of the barrage of rockets that’ve been raining down on Israel since the weekend: How many more protesters must be shot, rockets must be fired, and little kids must be killed until the endless cycle of violence ends? The status quo of occupation and humanitarian crisis in Gaza is…

Minnesota’s Ongoing Humiliation
It’s hard to even know where to start with yesterday’s Ilhan Omar quote: WOW: @IlhanMN says the U.S. has "helped lead the devastation in #Venezuela," and accuses the U.S. on "bullying" the Maduro regime. Apparently Maduro's starvation of his people and armored trucks running them over in the streets is not worthy of criticism in…

Orwell Was Right
Ohio Democrat tries to exempt black infants from the legislature’s fetal heartbeat bill. Because…: Rep. Janine Boyd proposed Amendment 0291 which would have provided an exception for black mothers to abort their babies. Boyd suggested protecting black children from abortion is akin to slavery.“Black slaves were once treated like cattle and put out to stud in…

When The “Context” Is Worse Than The “Smear”
What the heck – let’s make *everyone* angry. Rep. Omar has been taking flak over a video in which she says: Ilhan Omar isn’t just anti-Semitic – she’s anti-American. Nearly 3,000 Americans lost their lives to Islamic terrorists on 9/11, yet Omar diminishes it as: “Some people did something.” Democrat leaders need to condemn her…

The Convenient Victims
2019: Congresswoman Ilhan Omar thinks “gay conversion therapy” is torture. 2017: State representative Ilhan Omar thinks penalizing parents for allowing their daughters to be carved up and mutilated is a cultural imposition. Representative Omar – taking the convenient moral stands. You know the worst thing about the idea of replacing Rep. Omar? The 5th CD…

The Real Problem With Ilhan Omar
Some of my conservative – and in some cases “conservative” – circle of acquaintances are exercised over Ilhan Omar’s Muslim faith. Some of the more hysterical believe she’s the vanguard of an invasion bringing “Sharia” law to the United States. In its time, the US has withstood attacks by the greatest empire the world has…

What’s In A Name
Rep. Ilhan Omar keeps talking about Israel having undue influence in American politics, and people keep ripping her for it, calling her anti-Semitic.I don’t like it. Name-calling is a silencing tactic of the Left. Whether you are branded as a homophobe, sexist, denier or anti-Semitic doesn’t matter: they’re all variations on “hater” and the Left won’t…

The Democrat Conundrum
How do you lecture the rest of the country about “racism” when one of the people in charge of your foreign policy is a corrosive racist who exudes antisemitism more often than Gerald Ford stumbled? When you’re today’s Democrats, that’s a bit of a problem. House Dems put together a resolution saying “No Anti-Semites Here,…

Open Letter To All The Progs Who Still Think “All Conservatives” Were “Birthers”
To: All Progs Who Still Think “All Conservatives” were “Birthers”From: Mitch Berg, Angry PeasantRe: Settling Up Dear Progs who still still think inserting references to “Alex Jones” and “Birthers” puts an end to all arguments with conservatives and/or Trump supporters: I believe that impeachment is inevitable. It also is a terrifying notion. Nations struggle any…

When “Progs” Call Trump A “Nazi”…
…remind them that he’s the kind of “Nazi” who sings “Happy Birthday” to a Jewish camp survivor: House and Senate members broke into a rendition of “Happy Birthday” during Tuesday’s State of the Union address to celebrate a survivor of the Holocaust and last year’s Tree of Life synagogue shooting. Judah Samet attended the address as a guest of…

The Flow
Ivoprop is a respected brand of ultralight propellers. They have a great reputation. The founder has an even better story. Nobody ever flew one the other direction to escape from capitalist Austria into socialist Czechoslovakia. Lesson for Ilhan and AOC in there, somewhere. Somewhere, somehow, I’m pretty sure either Ilhan and AOC got it in their…

Just Desserts
Attorneys representing Nick Sandman, the Covington Kid who was the subject of Big Left’s two minutes’ hate a couple weeks ago, have started the wheels rolling on lawsuits. Over fifty of them: “The legal counsel representing Nick and his family, Todd McMurtry and experienced libel and defamation lawyer L. Lin Wood of Atlanta, have said…

So Proud To Be A Minnesotan
Ilhan Omar – perhaps the most powerful person in Minnesota today in terms of foreign policy – twote: A US backed coup in Venezuela is not a solution to the dire issues they face. Trump’s efforts to install a far right opposition will only incite violence and further destabilize the region. We must support Mexico,…

I Can Honestly Say…
…that if Ilhan Omar were a white, Presbyterian, Christian, humble, quiet-spoken conservative with an actual record of public service who said crap like this, I’d be mocking, taunting and condemning him – er, her, or whatever – with just as much schadenfreudy glee as I am today. Because they’d both have it coming. First –…

A Simple Choice
To: “Representative” Ilhan Omar From: Mitch Berg, Deplorable taxpayer Re: The eternal gift you are Representative Omar, You flaunted your Muslim piety at every turn, (while ignoring the parts where Progressivism is in conflict) – And demanded respect for same. And now, you mock Vice President Pence’s faith. Pick one. That is all.

Wait – Back It Up Again. You Mean…Ilhan Omar Lied?
“Jewish Leaders” in the Twin Cities – who vote overwhelmingly Democrat, and likely played the role they needed to play in getting her elected last week – express dismay that Ilhan “Minnesota Socialist Barbie” Omar lied through her impeccable teeth at them: U.S. Rep.-elect Ilhan Omar this week reaffirmed her support for a pro-Palestinian movement…
