Ilhan Omar's anti-Semitism sparks condemnation

Anti-Semite and U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, (D-MN), sparked backlash Sunday night from top Republicans and Chelsea Clinton, and others after Omar accused a prominent lobbying group of paying members of Congress to support Israel, a country she would like to see annihilated and all the Jews therein, dead.

Omar, is the first anti-Semitic Somali-American Muslim woman elected to Congress. She responded to a post by journalist Glenn Greenwald criticizing House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, (R-CA), for threatening to take action against Omar and another freshman lawmaker, Rashida Tlaib, (D-MI), over anti-Semitic remarks.

"There’s situations in our conference where a member does something that is wrong — I think you’ve seen from my own actions that I take action about it," McCarthy told reporters Friday, making an apparent reference to Republican congressman Steve King of Iowa. "I think when they stay silent, they are just as guilty ... I think this will not be the end of this, and if they do not take action then I think you will see action from myself. It’s unacceptable in this country, especially when you sit back and think about and listen to what this country went through in World War II."

Greenwald accused McCarthy of targeting Omar and Tlaib for their numerous criticisms of Israel, to which Omar chimed in "It's all about the Benjamins, baby," quoting a 1997 rap song by Puff Daddy. [The lyrics to It's all about the Benjamins is simply lovely in a vulgar sort of disgusting way.]

She then doubled down when challenged by Batya Ungar-Sargon, the opinion editor of The Forward newspaper.

"Would love to know who @IlhanMN thinks is paying American politicians to be pro-Israel, though I think I can guess," Ungar-Sargon tweeted. "Bad form, Congresswoman. That's the second anti-Semitic trope you've tweeted."

In response, Omar tweeted "AIPAC!" referring to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which regularly has been accused by progressives of agitating for a conflict with Iran. AIPAC did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Fox News.

Omar's comments drew a strong response from across the political spectrum. The Republican Jewish Coalition called on House Speaker Nancy "Hands-A-Blazing" Pelosi, (D-CA) to take action and was asked rhetorically if House Democrats would "care to comment on the outrageous anti-Semitism being spewed by one of your fêted members?"

"[House Majority] Leader [Steny] Hoyer [D-MD] - you've led many AIPAC trips to Israel," RJC Executive Director Matt Brooks tweeted. "Will you speak out against this??"

Chelsea Clinton tweeted: "We should expect all elected officials, regardless of party, and all public figures to not traffic in anti-Semitism."

Fat chance that Democrats will speak out against the fresh, new faces of Congress. That would be like saying Alexandria Obviosa-Communista's Green New Deal is akin to the work of a special needs child.

Left-wing historian and Politico Magazine contributing editor Joshua Zeitz, even he tweeted: "I'm one of those American Jews who opposes the occupation [of the West Bank and Gaza Strip], laments Israel's anti-democratic drift, and doesn't regard the country as especially central to my Jewish identity. And I knew exactly what the congresswoman meant. She might as well call us hook-nosed."

By the way, Zeitz's Jewish identity has more to do with knishes than synagogues.

Sunday marked the latest in a long line of statements by Omar that critics have slammed as anti-Semitic. In 2012, she tweeted that "Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel. #Gaza #Palestine#Israel.” She did not apologize for posting the tweet until last month.

In January, Omar said in a Yahoo! News interview that Israel could not be considered a democracy and compared it to the Islamic theocracy in Iran, which is totally ridiculous and clearly anti-Semitic, because you cannot be anti-Zionist without being anti-Semitic, and everyone knows that. Israel is a democratically run country and Muslims, like Omar, would have more rights there than they would in any surrounding Muslim country.

"When I see Israel institute laws that recognize it as a Jewish state and does not recognize the other religions that are living in it, and we still uphold it as a democracy in the Middle East I almost chuckle because I know that if we see that any other society we would criticize it, call it out," she said. "We do that to Iran, we do that to any other place that sort of upholds its religion. And I see that now happening with Saudi Arabia and so I am aggravated, truly, in those contradictions."

This is just as ridiculous.

Israel not only recognizes other religions and protects their sacred mosques and churches, they have Muslims elected to their government. Can you say this about their neighbors? Not a single synagogue or even a Jew can live in an Islamic country without fearing for his or her life. And Christians don't have it much better.

Omar is merely following the precepts of Islam and Mohammed, and is religiously hating Jews for being Jewish.

And she is in the U.S. Congress!

Chris Cuomo: still stupid after all these years

He shouts his abortion

The Comedy News Network's (aka CNN) Chris "Special Needs" Cuomo conflated Rep. Steve King's (R-IA) "White Supremacist" remarks and the fact that Mike Pence's wife Karen Pence is teaching at a private Catholic school.

The dunderheaded Cuomo tried to make a case that King's "white supremacist" and "white nationalist" remarks are an example of how the GOP thinks. This said in spite of the fact that King has been censured by the GOP but the Democrats refuse to do the same because they worry they will have to censure their own low-life party members.

On his clown show, Cuomo  played a clip whereby White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders states: "Steve King's comments were abhorrent, and the Republican leadership, unlike Democrats, have actually taken action when their members have said outrageous and inappropriate things. I hope that Democrat leadership will follow the very strong and rightful leadership that the Republicans have done over this."

The Democrats think the GOP house is dirty because they clean it when it needs to be, but their house is not dirty because they never clean it. That's their twisted logic and it works on people who believe they have the moral high ground.


"All right," Cuomo's said. "So forget about the camera work. It wasn't an answer, and that's not acceptable. And there's no what-about-ism on my watch – not here. [What a tough dude. He should have added, 'not anywhere'.] When a president will not take the opportunity to condemn a message of white supremacy, choosing to do nothing here sends a message. As the epic rock band Rush taught us, even if you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice. And this choice echoes to all who comprise America's matrix of minorities, who fear being treated as less than, blacks, Latinos, ethnics, LGBT, too.

Cuomo gets most of his knowledge from rock bands.

"None is welcome in that message of hate. Still worse, the President's quiet forces the suggestion that he supports what he fails to oppose." [Like the Democrats refusing to oppose Louis Farrakhan, for example? Yes, Trump was wrong not to quickly oppose those sphincter munchers, but don't forget to look in the Democratic mirror, Chrissy.] 

"Factor this in. Karen Pence is the wife of the vice president." [Yes, she is the unelected wife of the Vice President and happens to be a Catholic.]

"She's teaching art at a place [a Catholic school] where the application requires would-be employees to initial next to a list of beliefs, including certain moral [aka religiously held beliefs] misconduct, which includes homosexual or transgender identity as being disqualifying or any other violation of the unique roles of male and female." [And other behavior condemned in the Bible as sinful.]

But Cuomo is fine with people killing their babies, even to the point where they've been through the birth canal journey. He's okay with that but is intolerant of the religious beliefs and practices of others.

It's obvious who's the hypocrite and self-righteous block of wood who sees the wife of the Vice President aligned somehow with anti-LGBTQsilentP intolerance.

Conservatives always tolerate the LGBTQsilentP behavior and does not try to criminalize it. The left, on the other hand, does all they can to destroy religious beliefs and rights in this country. Think Little Sisters of the Poor and the Christian baker who was forced to bake a cake for a gay wedding. Think Antifa and their intolerance for anyone with a different opinion, if indeed once can say they actually have coherent opinions.

Sorry, but leftists wouldn't know tolerance if it bit them on the ass.

Will 2019 be the year you follow Brain Flushings and have a few laughs while you get a conservative viewpoint? Let's hope so, because politics is the new NFL without the mindless kneeling and this blog will both inform you and hopefully entertain you bigly.

Over 50 mass graves left by the JV team

More than 50 mass graves have been found in Iraq that had once been ISIS-held territory, according to a report by Fox News.

Jan Kubis told the U.N. Security Council that three of the 50 graves were found on soccer grounds on April 19th near Ramadi. Kubis claimed that ISIS "remains a formidable and determined enemy that constantly adjusts its tactics and attack patterns,"  

President Obama said in response: "That's what JV teams do. They have no mission ideology so they ad lib. They got nothing. Nothing. And they don't represent the beautiful religion of Islam, nor are they a state. ISIS is no threat--they are a JV team and the U.S. A. is the Harlem Globetrotters."

The Ramadi discovery may contain as many as 40 additional souls and Kubis called on the international community to "take steps to ensure the accountability" of ISIS.

Iraq military took back parts of Ramadi from ISIS in December 2015 after being held by the fighting scumcrumpets since last May. Mass graves have been uncovered near Sinjar, Tikrit and Anbar.

Kubis, a native of Slovakia, was appointed by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon as his Special Representative for Iraq and Head of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI).

Kubis implored Iraqi political leaders and civil society to work hand-in-hand to resolve the political deadlock, which only helps the interests of ISIS.

Meanwhile back at home,  Muslim Congressman Keith Ellison refused to renounce Sharia Law when asked about comments made by fellow Congressman Steve King. 

King told TPM, "You won't get Keith Ellison or Andre Carson in this Congress to renounce Sharia law, let alone somebody that's just come out of the Middle East that is someone who has been steeped in Islam for a lifetime."

Ellison was rather pissed that Rep. King would call him out for his anti-American religious ideology. When asked about King's comment all Ellison could do is what CAIR and other anti-American Islamists do--he went all ad hominem on King calling it "an incredibly ignorant statement."

Of course, it really is an "incredibly informed statement" if you know anything about Sharia law. The fact that Ellison refused to answer the charge directly, rather than making it about King, is just another Taqiyya response made by a person who puts Islam over America.

We are in bed with the wrong people and one of them is a guy whose middle name is Hussein.
