Man, we've been talking about the Bronx, but this Omar needs to go, or at the very least be removed from any committees of consequence.
Omar: "Answer the question yes or no."
Witness: "No!"
Omar: "I will take that as a yes."
That's the way the do it in ragistan - not the US.

Omar needs to stay, at least for the rest of her term. She is a good example of a 2019 Democrat, and should be the public face of the party. Anyone who voted Democrat deserves her special brand of leadership.

Actually I'll subscribe to your newsletter.
Anyways, it appears she (and the others) are giving Pelosi fits.

How did she get so far in US politics questioning both Jewish influence on our policies and US sponsored regime changes?
She will get crushed by the left and the right.

Interesting that she doesn't appear to understand that American-trained troops are not American troops, and do not operate under American command or American law.
Also interesting that she can't pronounce "February." (I think that's becoming one of my new tests for functional illiteracy.)
-
Could it be AOC and Omar are secretly on our side and have been implanted to destroy the Democrats from the inside :laugh:
I’ve heard it said we should be thankful for our enemies, I’m starting to understand what that might mean.
The right needs to hang them two around the necks of the Democratic leadership so they don’t look moderate in comparison. One big happy diverse family.

I think Trump needs to have his phone taken away whenever it is time to tweet about the new democratic jihadis. Let them talk on every news channel. Never interrupt your enemy when he(did you just assume enemy gender) is making a mistake.

It appears that she is a typical, liberal hypocrite. She wears a hijab (when it's convenient, but there are photos of her without it) and appears to portray herself as a strict Muslim. However --- she had her first two children out of wedlock. She then married a different guy, split from him, and had her third child by the same guy who fathered the first two children while she was still married to the husband.
Both pre-marital sex and adultery are major sins in Islam.

I've read that Moslem women on airliners in the Middle East start stripping off their burkas, chadors, and hijabs as soon as the aircraft leaves the airspace of a Moslem nation. It seems Allah's eyes are blind to what happens in infidel nations and infidel airspace.

Turns out Allah is a *expletive deleted*it god, constrained by magic lines on a map. Who'd have thunk it?
That said, Omar can stay, she's a useful idiot. Her and Cortez should be given the mic any time it's possible. The US needs to know who the batshit crazies are.

Yup.
Put AOC in front of a mic with a prepared and practiced statement and she *expletive deleted*ing kills it. And the libs eat that up. The blinders go on when she says something really dumb off the cuff.
My cohorts were worshipping her for her statement during the shutdown. Not a peep from them when she voted against *expletive deleted*ing paying us.

Now she is questioning why she has to pledge allegiance to Israel as a US Congresswoman.
The Dems are preparing a response to her tweet condemning anti-semitism.
The coalition of the fringes continues to fray :)
Silly woman, who does she think she is messing with?
In America you never name the Jew/Israel as a concern. They are to be held above reproach.
She is toast, there will be 100% bipartisan condemnation of her.
Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends, we’re so glad you could attend, step inside, step inside.
-
"the Jew"?
-
Is someone asking her to pledge Allegiance to Israel?
-
"the Jew"?
Yea, “naming the Jew” is what the anti-zionists call it when they point out Jewish “control” of institutions etc.
Of course the flip side is completely ignoring the influence of leftist Jews on our nation.
For some reason folks have a hard time wrapping their head around the concept that “the Jews” aren’t a monolithic group any more than the “whites”.
If we effectively attack the left you better believe it will be an act of anti-semitism to the left.
Even Trump, who has half his family in the tribe, is friends with Bibi, is popular in Israel and made much of his money in New York real estate, a market that is purported to be heavily dominated by Jewish money is regularly called anti Jewish and a Nazi.
The Jews (esp on the left) are a protected class much like blacks and the sexually disordered. You aren’t allowed to notice and if you do you better shut up about it.
-
Is someone asking her to pledge Allegiance to Israel?
There are a few quotes - none of them are "pledge allegiance" exactly.
I should not be expected to have allegiance/pledge support to a foreign country in order to serve my country in Congress or serve on committee.
I want to talk about the political influence in this country that says it is okay for people to push for allegiance to a foreign country.
What's the problem? She's just saying "America First!" ;)
-
Is someone asking her to pledge Allegiance to Israel?
They are teaching her and others how to play ball in Congress as well as who cannot be criticized.
It might have something to do with Congress voting that no US government business will be conducted with groups boycotting Israel.
The vote was unanimous IIRC
-
I am getting more and more positive that we have neglected our duty of eternal vigilance for the last 70 or so years.
-
"the Jew"?
Yeah, like in Romans 1:16: "... first to the Jew, then to the Gentile."
-
I sincerely hope the Democrats continue with their blatting...in fact I hope they ramp it up. Half of America might not participate in elections muchly...except when one side demonizes the other. America goes for the underdog. The more they demonize Trump, capitalism, Israel, the Constitution and BoR, guns, and everything think else that is good about America, one more usual non voter comes out and votes against the D's. Remember Clinton's 2nd win?

Conspiracy co-worker informs me that Omar is working for AIPAC, in a bid to I guess criminalize anti-Israeli speech or something? I often avoid asking him to elaborate, as it just eggs him on. He likes to sneer at people for caring about politics, because "it's all such an obvious game," or whatever, but if you get him started on politics, he doesn't like to stop blathering.
-
I just wanted to take a moment to say diversity is our strength.
-
There is much good to emulate regarding Israel.
Strong border control including a big beautiful wall.
Strong national identity along with strict immigration policies.
A strong Israel first foreign policy.
A strong Israel first policy in relation to economic policies.
Hopefully President Trump will be able to institutionalize these principles in his time as president here in the USA.
A large percentage of the diaspora Jewish American population seem to reject all of these above policies for us here in the USA, funny that.
Especially considering that a strong USA is a better guarantor of the nation of Israel’s security.
I don’t know anything about Jewish factions but it’s obvious they aren’t completely monolithic. There is a real strong Jewish influence in the Trump administration and there hasn’t been such an overtly nationalist pro-America president as President Trump in my lifetime. We need to encourage and strengthen the nationalist Jewish American faction. They need to supplant the Marxist leftist Jewish groups that most folks identify as typical of American Jews.
Now let’s build the damn wall.

So can we expect them to also included anti-Christian, anti-Buddhist, etc.?
Again, I have indeed changed my mind about "needs to go" because this stuff from her and the other new kids is going sway moderates, and not in the way these people want. It's like capitulating to five year olds having temper tantrums at the Walmart. I now encourage them to keep this crap up.

One of the things that is hurtful about the extent to which reprimand is sought of Ilhan is that no one seeks this level of reprimand when members make statements about Latinx + other communities (during the shutdown, a GOP member yelled “Go back to Puerto Rico!” on the floor). https://t.co/MwrRN4v4DG

Antisemitism was always there and will likely always be there. It was just pushed out of the public discourse because of the social stigma from the Holocaust. That stigma is falling away with time.

If she really wants to ruffle feathers she should try and get legislation that requires US Congressman to renounce and legally terminate their dual citizenship to another nation.

When asked if Omar should apologize, Pelosi said, “It’s up to her to explain. I do not believe she understood the full weight of the words.”
She continued, “When you’re a congressman you are an advocate out there, who I was. I appreciate all the enthusiasm. I told you that before. That was me pushing a stroller and carrying those signs. I understand how advocates come in with their enthusiasms. But when you cross that threshold in the Congress, your words weigh much more than when you’re shouting at somebody outside. And I feel confident that her words were not based on any antisemitic attitude. But that she didn’t have a full appreciation of how they landed on other people where these words have a history and a cultural impact that might have been unknown to her.”

House resolution to condemn anti-Semitism delayed indefinitely
Congressman James Clyburn, D-S.C., defended freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., Wednesday by saying her experience was "more personal" than Jews whose parents survived the Holocaust.
Clyburn argued Omar's experience "is much more empirical -- and powerful -- than that of people who are generations removed from the Holocaust, Japanese internment camps during WWII and the other violent episodes that have marked history," according to a report in The Hill.
“I’m serious about that. There are people who tell me, ‘Well, my parents are Holocaust survivors.’ ‘My parents did this.’ It’s more personal with her,” Clyburn said.

Excuse me, Mr. Clyburn? Can you explain to me what it is that the Jews did to her that gives her such a more authentic experience that makes her hate Jews?
I would be surprised to learn that the Somali Jewish population (all two of them) was busy committing genocide and throwing people out of their homes, turning Ms. Omar into a refugee.

Antisemitism was always there and will likely always be there. It was just pushed out of the public discourse because of the social stigma from the Holocaust. That stigma is falling away with time.
While that statement is probably accurate, I was referring to more than that... basically with respect to fundamental civil rights (and on more than just 2A matters) versus the authority of the government.
As I've said before, it is the core function of any government, anywhere, anytime, to progressively limit rights --that is, to make laws to limit what you can and can't do (or be).
The problem is we haven't been diligent or "vigilant" enough to yank the leash when government gets too casual and heavy-handed about our freedoms and rights.
So now we have situations where, e.g., "no knock" searches and helmet laws are perceived as OK, since they only affect them damned hippie crackheads and those leather-jacketed motorcycle ruffians.
Without many of us seeing the inherent danger in those laws (and judicial decisions). So we devolve into a bunch of compliant little good citizens who can no longer "fight city hall." Yes, forcing people to cross major urban streets at designated and controlled crosswalks is in general a good thing for overall traffic flow, but ultimately we get persons in power who think they can limit the sizes and contents of soft drinks.
Nobody yanked the leash between those two things, so it got to the point where one of our Leaders could actually and seriously suggest regulating soft drinks. It was only then that our vigilance got alerted and the leash got yanked.

I've been with Israel-loving Christians all my life and I've never heard of that one either.
Honestly, I'm fairly certain the vast majority of Evangelical Christians think our backing of Israel is preventing the beginnings of the end times. Not hastening it. And that the disappearance of the United States/withdrawal of its support for Israel may well precipitate it.
(Of course, we also know that nothing we do will interfere with the Lord's timeline, so we are simply choosing to do what is right, regardless.)

That sort of rhetoric seems to be common in some circles these days, but the dehumanizing stuff bothers me. You can justify a lot of otherwise terrible actions if you tell yourself they aren't real people. I don't want drag this too far afield, but people sometimes wonder how Govt sanctioned mass murder happens, well that is how it happens. I am sure most who use that rhetoric aren't thinking anything as bad as that, but it bothers me anyway.

I don't see many people really wanting to de-escalate.
“42 percent of the people in each party view the opposition as ‘downright evil.’” A stunning 20 percent of Democrats and 16 percent of Republicans believe “we’d be better off as a country if large numbers of the opposing party in the public today just died.” And if the opposing party wins the 2020 election, 18 percent of Democrats and 13 percent of Republicans “feel violence would be justified.”
We hear quite a bit about “dehumanizing rhetoric” in American public life. Well, it appears that tens of millions of Americans now have dehumanizing beliefs. “One out of five Republicans and Democrats agree with the statement that their political adversaries ‘lack the traits to be considered fully human — they behave like animals.’”

This is abhorrent and inhumane.
It's without a doubt a reflection of what white nationalism is doing to our country. As a country, we have to acknowledge that this is how people are being treated here and decide that we are better and we must do better. https://t.co/5YNAJFNZo7
