I’m most proud of this @IlhanMN find:

Not long after Ilhan swore 8 times in her divorce filing that she had no idea how to contact Ahmed, I proved — via the source code of the website for her sister Sahra Noor’s company 😎 — that he was working for Sahra, and quite easy to contact.

It’s really fascinating to me how quickly Hayes (and every other media figure who has ever bothered to cover this story) moves on from the topic of who exactly Omar’s second husband was.

Hayes asks Omar “who was this man that was your husband?” Notably, Omar doesn’t answer! She doesn’t say how they met or got married, or why she left her first husband to be with him (only to return to that husband three years later). In particular, she doesn’t explain the bizarre discrepancies between her legal marriages and her faith-based ones: Supposedly, she had a non-legal Islamic marriage with her first husband, then Islamically divorced him to legally marry her second husband, whom she remained legally married to for six years after reconciling with and Islamically remarrying her first husband. Then in 2018 she finally legally divorced the second husband to legally marry the first, but then legally divorced him the next year.

It’s a very weird personal history that, to my knowledge, has gone totally unexplained. That, more than anything, is why the brother marriage story has refused to die. Yet the mainstream press treats it all as totally uninteresting! I wonder why.

@willchamberlain This is how you conduct an interview. Completely unbiased. Totally straightforward. No preamble. And that’s why everyone trusts the media so much.

@SenWarren My grandfather built McCormick Spices from nothing after your ancestors tomahawked his wife and kids. I'll be damned if you take another scalp from my family fortune!

This guy, who apparently works for The Bulwark, wrote an article saying that he was baffled about why Shane Gillis was allowed to host SNL, since previous outings were ranked dead last for each season. I found this surprising because I’d assumed that a comic as popular as Gillis would get high ratings.

I clicked through and it turns out that the rankings he was talking about weren’t ratings, but HIS personal rankings of each season. So his entire rationale for why it’s bad when Gillis hosts the show is that he doesn’t like it when Gillis hosts the show.

She should just say “I’ll circle back” for every question that she doesn’t want to answer.

You’re accidentally proving our point.

When Somalis are 1.5% of Minnesota’s population, but contribute & account for:

-87% of fraud convictions

-84% welfare use rate

-An outsized percentage of juvenile violent crime

-Are planning mass casualty terrorist attacks with direct ties to Al-Shabaab and ISIS

That is a takeover of your state.

🚨 BREAKING: Keith Ellison was just EXPOSED by CNN for taking lavish overseas trips paid for by corporate lobbyists.

- Five-star hotels
- First-class flights
- African safari tours
- AND MORE

Ellison appears visibly upset that they’re even asking about the trips. He abruptly ends the interview while staring down the reporter.

Earlier this week, he attacked Ron Schutz for simply owning stocks. Meanwhile, Ellison is accepting lavish trips funded by the very companies he’s suing.

WOW!

Minnesota literally funds a program to help immigrants BUY HOMES with taxpayer dollars.

Up to $18,500 for down payments and closing costs.

Zero interest. Loans that can be forgiven.

The immigrant targeting is explicit. Minnesota Housing’s own 2026 report says Three Rivers Community Action:

“targets their downpayment assistance to households of color and immigrant households.”

That’s the state’s own description of where this homebuying assistance is directed.

The program covers 20 Minnesota counties.

There’s also a documented Somali connection.

A historical case study published by a funder names Somali Community Resettlement Services as one of the organizations that referred clients to Three Rivers for help becoming homeowners.

In December 2025, Minnesota approved another award for the program: $370,500 to help finance 19 home purchases.

The program’s website now says it has run out of funds.

Here are 4 of the Central Park 5—who indisputably raped a jogger within an inch of her life—on stage with Sharpton near the climax of 2024’s DNC. One of them—the one who confessedly beat the jogger in the head with a pipe—is on the NYC council now. Dems only care about fake rapes

CNBC's Joe Kernen straight up calls out Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna

Kernen: "While we have you here, so I asked you about all your trading… It's all in a trust, right?"

Khanna: "I've said let's have a ban on all trading."

Kernen: "What would happen if they banned all trading to all of your trading that you do?"

Khanna: "I don't trade."

Kernen: "You don't mean you - you mean your trust. It's all in a trust in your wife's name."

In 2025 Khanna's family trust reportedly had over 5,000 trades and up to $165 million in trading volume.
