Ilhan Omar
The FBI, ICE and the Department of Education’s Inspector General are all looking into Democrat Muslima Rep. Ilhan Omar, according to investigative reporter David Steinberg.
Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is under heavy fire from the conservative media over her many scandals including marrying her own brother to defraud US immigration, tax fraud, identity fraud and more recently an affair with a married man.
Ilhan Omar refuses to answer questions about her fraudulent marriage to her own brother and accuses anyone asking questions of bigotry and Islamophobia.
Omar also dodges any questions about her affair with a married man even though her campaign paid over $200,000 to her married lover.
David Steinberg’s impeccable investigative reporting on Ilhan Omar over the last few years has revealed she may have committed the “worst crime spree in Congressional history.”
There is overwhelming evidence that Ilhan Omar married her own brother to defraud US immigration, then lied about it under oath in her divorce papers.
Finally, at least three government agencies are now looking into Ilhan Omar’s case.

BIG Ilhan Omar update: Federal investigators finally seem to be reviewing the overwhelming evidence against @IlhanMN. And at least THREE agencies are considering her case: 1. The @FBI,
2. The DofEd. Inspector General,

Steinberg handed the FBI his evidence against Ilhan Omar and they found it compelling enough to share with the other two agencies.
“The DofEd. IG is considering evidence that Ilhan married a UK citizen in ’09 perhaps to commit student loan fraud, or other education fraud,” Steinberg said.
The DofEd. IG is considering evidence that Ilhan married a UK citizen in '09 perhaps to commit student loan fraud, or other education fraud. She attended @NDSU from '09-Jun '11. The marriage only lasted from '09-Jun '11. She still lived w/ her 1st husband throughout. (3/x) — David Steinberg (@realDSteinberg) January 16, 2020
ICE is considering evidence that Ilhan Omar married a UK citizen (who was also her own brother) to commit immigration fraud.

AMANDA MAKKI: Iran’s Chernobyl Moment

The 1986 nuclear disaster at Chernobyl did not merely kill dozens of people and poison hundreds more with deadly levels of radiation .
It also exposed just how bankrupt , corrupt , and incompetent the Soviet regime really was , setting in motion a crisis of legitimacy from which the regime never recovered .
Just five years later , the mighty Soviet Union had disappeared .
Some may have been surprised at the mass demonstrations that have rocked Iran since the regime admitted to having accidentally shot down a Ukrainian airliner , killing all 176 civilians aboard .
I was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in 1979 as an infant with my family because of the regime ’ s brutality and intolerance , I understood all too well what has enraged the Iranian people .
The downing of the Ukrainian airliner could prove to be the mullah ’ s own Chernobyl moment .
The downing of Ukraine Airlines Flight 752 exposed the secrecy , brutality and incompetence of Iran ’ s government .
Initially , Iran said that a technical program caused the crash .
But because of Canadian intelligence , just three days later , Iran ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mistakenly shot down the Ukrainian airliner .
Moreover , it was obvious that the regime knew all along what the real cause of the crash was , and tried to cover it up—just like the Soviets at Chernobyl .
Iran ’ s people are tired of living under a government whose entire claim to legitimacy is religious intolerance .
They are sick of living under thugs and terrorists .
President Trump ’ s decision to eliminate General Qassem Soleimani , the country ’ s second most powerful powers , was a heroic and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ most of all .
President Trump ’ s message of support for the people of Iran stands in stark contrast to the indifference of President Barack Obama when an earlier generation of Iranians looked to America for support .
In 2009 , after Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won a rigged presidential election , there was a huge uprising and Iran ’ s Green Movement began .
But President Barack Obama squandered any hope that the Iranian youth who are pro-American and pro-democracy , may have had for assistance from the U.S .
Many felt abandoned @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Green Movement , many Iranians put their hopes in economic sanctions to put pressure on the regime to finally open up .
Instead , President Obama reached a nuclear deal with the mullahs that lifted the economic pressure .
In effect , he gave the regime a lifeline , and billions of dollars to use for terrorism .

The Iranian people aspire for democracy and to have the support of a nation like the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ American of Iranian heritage , I am thankful for the bold actions of President Trump over the last two weeks .
Of all the years of witnessing statements by President Obama who tried to turn Iran ’ s ruling clerics from foe to friend , I never saw a tweet or a message directed to the brave Iranian people .

Liberalism is a mental disorder.
Liberal reporter David Leavitt went berserk on Friday and called the police on a young female store manager for Target because she wouldn’t sell him an Oral B electric toothbrush for 1 penny.
The Target store apparently had mislabeled the price of the toothbrush and David Leavitt, who describes himself as an “award-winning multimedia journalist” with bylines at CBS and Yahoo News, demanded the manager ‘honor’ the 1 cent price on display.
When the manager refused to sell the toothbrush for 1 cent, David Leavitt called the police on her and said he will be suing Target.

He called the cops on the young woman.
I did not call 911. I called the business number for the police and told them it was not an emergency and they could take their time and explained the situation. — David Leavitt (@David_Leavitt) January 17, 2020
So now he’s dragging the poor woman into court.
Corporations like @target are not above the law. The police officer told me they’d testify that they saw the price and that the manager wouldn’t sell me the item for the price listed. — David Leavitt (@David_Leavitt) January 17, 2020
David Leavitt can’t afford to go to the dentist but he can afford to file a baseless lawsuit.
I have not been able to afford to go to a dentist in over three years. So yes I wanted a good toothbrush and was thrilled to see such an amazing prize on an @OralB but @target refused to honor it and now I have to take them to court — David Leavitt (@David_Leavitt) January 17, 2020

IRAN ROUNDUP for January 13th thru 17th : ‘ Khamenei Is Panicked ” – Protests Continue Across Country – Regime Continues to Brutalize Iranians , As US Democrats Turn their Backs on Them By Editors of The Free Iran Herald Since Tuesday , when the House Democrats blocked the vote on a resolution to support anti-regime protesters in Iran , Iranians have taken to Twitter to show their frustration and irritation .
Even worse , Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi attempted to dismiss the protests by saying that the demonstrators were only “ students ” angry about their friends who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Iranian activists responded to this shameful lie by launching a Twitter campaign called # NancyPelosiFakeNews In response to the bombastic Al-Jazeera presenter Mehdi Hassan ’ s bizarre Twitter rant about the president ’ s racism and bigotry , one Iranian activist wrote : The most recent episode of nationwide protests across Iran , that began on Saturday in response to the regime ’ s admission that its Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps had shot down a civilian international airliner , continued into this week .
The IRGC , and its Basij paramilitary , ferociously @ @ @ @ @ @ @ populace , as is their custom , and many examples of brutal violations of human rights were recorded and posted online .
Monday , January 13th , saw demonstrations continuing in multiple Iranian cities .
Here , students at Tehran ’ s Sharif University of Technology repeated their chant of “ They killed our geniuses and replaced them with clerics !
” In other spots , the people confronted the regime forces sent out to disperse them and clashes erupted .
In Dezful , in the south-western province of Khuzestan , crowds went @ @ @ @ @ @ @ base , while in the northern city of Semnan , people , led by women , burned down the office of supreme leader Ali Khamenei ’ s local representative .
Tuesday , January 14th , brought more protests .
Students at Tehran University began to demonstrate , and masses of ordinary citizens joined them , into the evening .
The IRGC responded heavily , and scenes of Guardsmen beating people were recorded , before the regime cut off Internet and mobile phone access .
Universities were raided , and intense gunfire was heard @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the heavy crackdown .
Wednesday , in Esfahan , the funeral of some of the victims who died when the Ukrainian airliner was brought down erupted into an anti-regime protest .
Tehran University students , meanwhile , held a sit-down strike on Thursday to protest in support of their colleagues who were arrested and detained .
In Mahabad , at the funeral of one of the victims , family members pulled off the Khomeinist flag from the victim ’ s coffin , saying it is an illegitimate flag .
Large protests also occurred @ @ @ @ @ @ @ US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and his staff have continued to express their support for the Iranian people , calling out the Khomeinist regime for its tyranny .
In an interview with Israel ’ s i24TV , Iman Foroutan , leader of the Iran Liberation Congress , showed the video above of protestors in Dezful attacking the Basij base , and said that “ it ’ s very significant .
It shows the people are fighting back.
” Foroutan then discussed the preparations Khamenei is making for the Friday prayers he has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the first time in years , a sign that implies , in Foroutan ’ s view , that Khamenei knows how hated he is and is doing everything to rally his last supporters together .
Foroutan then mentioned the disappointment that Iranians felt when Nancy Pelosi blocked the resolution in support of their protests , pointing out that a similar resolution to support demonstrations in Hong Kong passed Congress a few weeks ago with a wide bipartisan vote .
According to reports from Iran , the regime is silencing families of those @ @ @ @ @ @ @ banning them from talking to reports or holding public mourning ceremonies .
Family members have also been informed that they will not receive the remains of their loved ones if they violate these rules .
This development comes after the mother of an Iranian-Canadian publicly called on Canadian government officials to help her obtain justice .
Despite this harassment , Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau did not rebuke the regime for its behavior towards the Canadian citizens and residents he is charged with protecting , but instead , in an interview on Monday @ @ @ @ @ @ @ situation at the feet of the United States .
Trudeau bizarrely claimed that the plane would not have been shot down had it not been for the Trump administration placing sanctions on Tehran .
Iranian-Canadians have long been disappointed by Justin Trudeau ’ s willingness to appease the Khomeinist regime .
It is worth noting that while many Iranian filmmakers are banned from either making films or traveling abroad , Justin Trudeau ’ s brother Alexandre ( Sacha ) has collaborated with Islamic regime ’ s PressTV in producing a documentary whitewashing Tehran @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s Crown Prince to the American People : The Iranian People are “ Asking for Your Support ” On Thursday , January 15th , the well-regarded American think tank the Hudson Institute hosted a Q & A discussion between Iran ’ s Crown Prince , Reza Pahlavi , and Hudson scholar Dr. Michael Doran .
In this hour-long talk , Pahlavi , whose name is the one most chanted by protestors on the streets of Iran , made several key points .
He gave a brief outline of the regime ’ s four-decade @ @ @ @ @ @ @ noting that “ this regime…has never been transparent .
It has never been honest .
It has proven time and again that it ’ s willing to sacrifice the lives of millions of Iranian people just to maintain itself in power.
” Pahlavi went into much detail regarding how close the Khomeinist regime is to imploding , and that the Iranian opposition has been working on a transition plan to move Iran from theocracy to democracy in a fast and peaceful manner once the regime is gone .
However , this final push @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from the Western democracies .
“ We are very close to getting there , but we need every ounce of encouragement and support .
The people of Iran need to know that there is light at the end of the tunnel .
They need to have hope that they won ’ t be abandoned because they have already braved and risked their lives with no support whatsoever .
Imagine what they can do if they start having real support for a change beyond rhetoric – beyond rhetoric.
” The Crown Prince also reprimanded @ @ @ @ @ @ @ same coverage to Iranian protests as they have to protests in places such as Venezuela and Hong Kong , while gently reminded his listeners that the cause of Iranian freedom should be a moral issue , one not subject to partisan politics .
“ I think that the most important thing for all of us Iranians is that Iran should not be a matter of partisan politics .
It is about freedom .
It is about human rights .
And it is not an exclusive privilege of the Democratic or Republican Party to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ why we expect Americans , regardless of which side of the aisle they are in their own domestic politics , not to make Iran an issue of partisan politics .
That ’ s the first thing we expect as a nation.
” Michael Doran retorted to that statement by asking , “ Did you hear that , Democrats ?
”

The most recent episode of nationwide protests across Iran, that began on Saturday in response to the regime’s admission that its Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps had shot down a civilian international airliner, continued into this week. The IRGC, and its Basij paramilitary, ferociously attacked the mass manifestations of the Iranian populace, as is their custom, and many examples of brutal violations of human rights were recorded and posted online.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and his staff have continued to express their support for the Iranian people, calling out the Khomeinist regime for its tyranny.

Iranian Opposition Figure: “Khamenei Is Panicked”
In an interview with Israel’s i24TV, Iman Foroutan, leader of the Iran Liberation Congress, showed the video above of protestors in Dezful attacking the Basij base, and said that “it’s very significant. It shows the people are fighting back.” Foroutan then discussed the preparations Khamenei is making for the Friday prayers he has announced he will lead this week, for the first time in years, a sign that implies, in Foroutan’s view, that Khamenei knows how hated he is and is doing everything to rally his last supporters together.
Foroutan then mentioned the disappointment that Iranians felt when Nancy Pelosi blocked the resolution in support of their protests, pointing out that a similar resolution to support demonstrations in Hong Kong passed Congress a few weeks ago with a wide bipartisan vote.
Regime Harassing Plane Crash Victims Families , but Canada gives Tehran a Pass
According to reports from Iran, the regime is silencing families of those killed in the Ukrainian airliner crash, banning them from talking to reports or holding public mourning ceremonies. Family members have also been informed that they will not receive the remains of their loved ones if they violate these rules. This development comes after the mother of an Iranian-Canadian publicly called on Canadian government officials to help her obtain justice.

Despite this harassment, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau did not rebuke the regime for its behavior towards the Canadian citizens and residents he is charged with protecting, but instead, in an interview on Monday, lay the blame for the entire situation at the feet of the United States. Trudeau bizarrely claimed that the plane would not have been shot down had it not been for the Trump administration placing sanctions on Tehran. Iranian-Canadians have long been disappointed by Justin Trudeau’s willingness to appease the Khomeinist regime.

It is worth noting that while many Iranian filmmakers are banned from either making films or traveling abroad, Justin Trudeau’s brother Alexandre (Sacha) has collaborated with Islamic regime’s PressTV in producing a documentary whitewashing Tehran’s nuclear program.
Iran’s Crown Prince to the American People: The Iranian People are “Asking for Your Support”
On Thursday, January 15th, the well-regarded American think tank the Hudson Institute hosted a Q&A discussion between Iran’s Crown Prince, Reza Pahlavi, and Hudson scholar Dr. Michael Doran. In this hour-long talk, Pahlavi, whose name is the one most chanted by protestors on the streets of Iran, made several key points.
He gave a brief outline of the regime’s four-decade long history of terrorism and tyranny, noting that “this regime…has never been transparent. It has never been honest. It has proven time and again that it’s willing to sacrifice the lives of millions of Iranian people just to maintain itself in power.”
Pahlavi went into much detail regarding how close the Khomeinist regime is to imploding, and that the Iranian opposition has been working on a transition plan to move Iran from theocracy to democracy in a fast and peaceful manner once the regime is gone. However, this final push to bring it down will require help from the Western democracies. “We are very close to getting there, but we need every ounce of encouragement and support. The people of Iran need to know that there is light at the end of the tunnel. They need to have hope that they won’t be abandoned because they have already braved and risked their lives with no support whatsoever. Imagine what they can do if they start having real support for a change beyond rhetoric – beyond rhetoric.”
The Crown Prince also reprimanded the international media for not giving the same coverage to Iranian protests as they have to protests in places such as Venezuela and Hong Kong, while gently reminded his listeners that the cause of Iranian freedom should be a moral issue, one not subject to partisan politics. “I think that the most important thing for all of us Iranians is that Iran should not be a matter of partisan politics. It is about freedom. It is about human rights. And it is not an exclusive privilege of the Democratic or Republican Party to opine on that. That’s why we expect Americans, regardless of which side of the aisle they are in their own domestic politics, not to make Iran an issue of partisan politics. That’s the first thing we expect as a nation.”
Michael Doran retorted to that statement by asking, “Did you hear that, Democrats?”

Sen. Bernie Sanders, 77, really is just as curmudugeonly as you’d expect.
According to a leaked campaign rider from his 2020 presidential campaign obtained by The Smoking Gun, the Democratic socialist from Vermont demands that his hotel rooms be cold and his bathrooms not have slow flushing toilets.
Called the “Senator Comfort Memo” — marked “Confidential: For Campaign Staff Use Only” — the document instructs the exact arrangements that must be met for Sanders’ hotels, food, drink, family and staff.
“After a hard day of campaigning, Senator Bernie Sanders likes to settle down in a frigid hotel suite with a cozy down comforter and a bathroom that has been checked for “leaky faucets, slow flushing toilets, slow draining bathtubs,” according to a tour rider prepared by the candidate’s staff,” The Gun wrote.
The Sanders rider advocates the poaching of “mini honey bottles or single honey packs” encountered at hotels. “Stock up!” campaign aides are told, wrote The Gun.
For Sanders, who is referred to as “SBS” in the memo, a “small junior suite” is ideal. “We have no need for a large suite–please avoid this upgrade as much as possible,” the memo states. The candidate also seeks a “Bathtub, if the hotel has that option” and a room thermostat set at 60 degrees. “ALWAYS TEST, SET, AND RUN THE THERMOSTAT BEFORE ARRIVAL,” the memo advises advance team personnel. As for the location of Sanders’s suite, it should not be “near elevators, ice machines, or other high foot traffic spots.” Additionally, hotel management should be asked “if any other groups are staying at the hotel and adjust floor placement as necessary to ensure a quiet stay.” If any of Sanders’s seven grandchildren are traveling with him, campaign workers are advised to secure a room for them adjoining Sanders’s suite. An aide to Sanders’s wife Jane should also be apprised if the hotel has a pool and/or hot tub since, “This is particularly important if the grandchildren are accompanying SBS and Jane.”
But Bernie doesn’t sleep cold. He demands a king-size bed with a down comforter. If no comforters are available, then lots of blankets will do.
And you know those annoying pamphlets and booklets that are all over hotel rooms? Yeah, none of those for Bernie.
“As part of ‘QUALITY CONTROL BEFORE ARRIVAL,’ Sanders aides must remove any ‘hotel pamphlets/signage from bed and side-tables.’ They must also test the room’s lights, TV, keys, and ‘Check for any leaky faucets, slow flushing toilets, slow draining bathtubs, hot water, etc..’ ”
Notes The Gun: ‘T]he Democratic candidate appears to share the current president’s concern about the insufficient flushing power of today’s toilets.”
The senator who prefers socialism over capitalism also makes these demands each day: Green tea with honey (saving any excess honey packets), English breakfast tea, a low sugar drink, one small bottle of red Gatorade, one bottle of Smart water, clementines and a small can of unsalted cashews/walnuts/almonds.
Oh, and on departure, he makes one final demand: “Shred any documents left behind.”

Trump Calls Out Dems ’ Plan to Rig Election Against Bernie Sanders….and Pelosi is Involved The Democrats are once again rigging the election against Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and this time Nancy Pelosi is involved in the scheme .
For several weeks , power-hungry Nancy Pelosi refused to deliver the impeachment articles to the Senate .
Pelosi is a dirty , calculating politician and she held on to the articles for several reasons .
President Trump called out the Dems and said their plan to delay the impeachment trial was to make sure Bernie Sanders , as a Senator , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ during the Iowa caucuses .
Bernie is surging in Iowa polls so dirty Pelosi made sure she slowed him down and gave Joe Biden an edge .
“ They are rigging the election again against Bernie Sanders , just like last time , only even more obviously .
They are bringing him out of so important Iowa in order that , as a Senator , he sit through the Impeachment Hoax Trial , ” Trump said .
“ Crazy Nancy thereby gives the strong edge to Sleepy Joe Biden , and Bernie is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but that ’ s the way the Democrats play the game .
Anyway , it ’ s a lot of fun to watch !
” he added .
Leaked emails in 2016 revealed Hillary Clinton secretly financially took over the DNC and rigged the nomination process in her favor .
The emails were leaked right around the time of the Democrat National convention in the summer of 2016 and created a wedge between Bernie supporters and Hillary supporters .
Hillary ’ s camp was essentially holding onto all of the money raised by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so the organization could only pay its basic expenses .
Bernie Sanders was shut out in 2016 because of Hillary Clinton and it looks like the Democrats are up to their old tricks this time around because Joe Biden , just like Hillary , needs to be propped up by the elitists running the show .

The emails were leaked right around the time of the Democrat National convention in the summer of 2016 and created a wedge between Bernie supporters and Hillary supporters.
Hillary’s camp was essentially holding onto all of the money raised by individual states, effectively starving the DNC so the organization could only pay its basic expenses.

Trump Impeachment Attorney : Democrats Are Going to Have a Hard Time Getting 67 Votes on Articles of Impeachment So Weak They Don ’ t Even Include a Crime ( VIDEO ) Jordan Sekulow , a member of President Trump ’ s legal team , joined FOX and Friends on Friday morning to discuss the next steps by the Trump team in the impeachment process .
