Ilhan Omar’s Juneteenth Fumble: Deletes Post After Somalia Slavery Backlash

It looks like repulsive Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) stepped in it again on X, and this time it’s a Juneteenth mess that’s got her scrambling. 

The congresswoman, no stranger to catching flak for her anti-American, anti-Semitic vibes, was forced to yank a post celebrating Juneteenth after users hammered her over the inconvenient truth of modern-day slavery in her native Somalia. 

Talk about a self-own.

Here’s what Omar originally posted from her official account: “160 years ago on June 19, 1865, slavery ended in this country. Today, we celebrate Black freedom, resilience, and achievement, and continue the work to root out systematic racism from our policies and institutions.” 

Sounds noble except X users weren’t having it. One reply, from Gunther Eagleman, went viral: “Somalia still has slaves. Ilhan should go fight to free her own people.” 

Ouch. That hit hard enough to make Omar’s post vanish faster than a politician’s principles during election season.

Eagleman has a point. According to a 2023 Walk Free report, Somalia’s got a staggering 98,000 people trapped in modern slavery: 6.2 per 1,000 folks. The country scores a dismal 18/100 on government response to the crisis, while racking up a near-perfect 98/100 for vulnerability to enslavement. Those are numbers that don’t lie, even if Omar’s post tried to dodge them like she dodged the country of her birth to eventually flee to a country that she hates.

So, what does Omar do? She slaps up a new Juneteenth post, this time tiptoeing around the slavery bit. “On Juneteenth, we remember that freedom is not always swift but it is always worth the fight. It’s a powerful reminder of how long justice can take to reach those who deserve it most,” she writes, before recycling the same “celebrate Black freedom” line from her deleted post. 

Smooth move, Ilhan, except the X crowd’s still lighting her up, reminding her that Somalia’s slave markets aren’t exactly a distant memory.

This isn’t just an X kerfuffle, either. Omar’s been pushing the reparations angle hard, teaming up with her Squad pals last month to sponsor a bill on the issue, following a similar co-sponsorship in February. She’s all in on the “systemic racism” fight here, but apparently less eager to tackle the systemic slavery back in Somalia. Funny how that works.

For context, Juneteenth became a federal holiday in June 2021, when Congress passed bipartisan legislation commemorating the day in 1865 when the last enslaved people in the Confederacy, down in Galveston, Texas, finally got word of Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, two-and-a-half years late. It was a rare moment of unity, but leave it to then-President Joe Biden to turn the signing ceremony into a political rant about “voting rights under attack.” Because nothing screams “bipartisan” like a good ol’ partisan jab, right Joe? Joe . . . are you there Joe?

Hey guys, if you like my blog,  feel free to toss a virtual coffee my way on Buy Me a Coffee  It’s like a high-five with caffeine, and coffee keeps me focused, albeit somewhat hyper. No pressure, it's your call.

Omar’s latest X flop is just another reminder: when you’re pointing fingers at America’s past, make sure your own backyard isn’t a moral cesspool. 

The congresswoman’s got some explaining to do, but don’t hold your breath—she’s already moved on to the next post.

Kamala Harris: 10 issues she may have "Trumpified"

With Kamala Harris having to walk back most everything she believes that will hurt her presidential chances, most of us wouldn't be surprised if she sleeps with Stormy Daniels and dyes her hair just to give the illusion she's like Trump only black and a woman.

Harris has walked back on so many issues, it's hard to take her seriously. I suspect if she wins the presidency, she will do exactly what she wants, and that's to follow her estranged father's socialist philosophy and Make America Ache.

1. She was outspoken about banning fracking during her 2020 short-lived campaign that ended up getting her zero primary votes. But now she pretends her stance has changed and no longer supports a ban. Some people will believe her and others will be happy if it does change back to the ban. Kamala is now getting in line with the more centrist Democrats in her fake approach to energy policy and tut-tuts global warming, at least until the second week in November. 

Do you trust her?

2. She has also proposed a smaller increase in long-term capital gains tax rate compared to what Biden suggested. This is a change from her former stance of taxing the wealthy. And now while supporting an increase in corporate tax, she sees how unpopular it is, and has suggested a lower tax hike than previously discussed.

3. In a move to kick the Second Amendment in the butt, she supported mandatory buy-back programs for "assault weapons" but her new 'elect me, guys' stance is less aggressive because she has no other political philosophy than to get elected by any means necessary. Her current stance focuses more on background checks and other less controversial measures. But it isn't background check improvement that's so needed, it's the enforcement of the laws that are already in place.

4. Harris and health care are a fiscal joke. She once supported Medicare For All and a single-payer health care system, which would end private health insurance, remove people's choices for health care, and destroy thousands of jobs. Suddenly, her campaign claims she no longer supports this, but Harris herself has not stated this openly. 

Do you trust her?

5. For Harris, the ability for mothers to kill their babies in the womb has always been a soft spot in her heart. While she still believes women have the right to do this right up to the baby's crowning she is now emphasizing these rights as a large focal point of her campaign. 

6. Back when she was first running for president, she wanted to decriminalize illegal border crossings. But with Trump going full-on border defense, Harris believes she has evolved and suddenly supports stronger border controls and enforcement, at least for now. Maybe even a wall on the southern border. 

Do you trust her?

7. She had, but no longer has, a federal jobs guarantee initiative that was part of her Green New Deal proposal. Harris loves her some Green New Deal--it's what daddy would have wanted, although he's nowhere to be found. 

8. In an effort to kick capitalism in the symbolic nuts, Harris was for a mandate for automakers to build only electric and hydrogen vehicles by 2035. While it's not certain whether she is still for it or against the idea, once she's in office [heaven forfend] anything is possible.

Do you trust her?

9. Slavery reparations were also big for the giggling Vice President. In this case too, her position is unclear and since she wasn't asked in the only powder puff interview she had [for 16 minutes] it's likely she's still for it. Who knows where she stands since she hides from the disinterested media.

10. But the most important issue she was dead set to impose on the American people was the banning of plastic straws to save the environment. Never mind that plastic bags, plastic pens, and so on, are not being banned, but Axios recently reported that Kamala Hahahaharris is no longer for the ban.

Sip away.

U of Florida is ditching all their DEI staff

The University of Florida will be getting rid of their Marxist-based Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) employees. The school has effectively removed their collective heads from their collective nether regions and saw the light of day: hiring people based on the melanin level of their skin makes as much sense as giving a mouse a tennis racket. 

The important aspect to take into account when hiring is--wait for it--qualifications! 

Wow. What a concept.

According to a memo released on Friday, University of Florida officials confirmed that the Office of the Chief Diversity Officer has shut down permanently and all the useless DEI positions and administrative hires have been dissolved with outside vendors.

Overall, 13 DEI positions were made gone, and 15 administrative positions for faculty were halted.

Charlie Kirk, the Turning Point USA founder called the news "massive," and said that "[C]onservatives are finally fighting back. Every red state must follow suit as soon as humanly possible. This is the way.”

The $5 million that was previously allocated to DEI initiatives [e.g., teaching that White men are oppressors and Black people are the oppressed, so give them reparations] will be reallocated into a faculty recruitment fund as the DEI budget was a joke

Woman demands reparations then cops arrive and situation deteriorates for her

Everybody wants something for free just because of who they are, not because they deserve it. The nation has talked about "reparations" for the injustices suffered by other people paid for people who didn't make the others suffer. Just what's the real injustice here?

The reparations for both real and perceived injustices to black people is probably familiar to many of you, and now we see that it isn't only related to slavery that had been abolished in the Nineteenth Century by the sacrifices made by hundreds of thousands of white folk who fought and died to end it. And while there are no reparations for the 2,000 British sailors who fought the African slave trade, this isn't about reparations for their white families either.

Reparations knows no limits in spite of no antebellum slave still being alive today.

In a report on Tuesday in the New York Post, a 'Karen' named Karen Ivery was 'reparationing' at a Target store last October, The incident occurred in Blue Ash, Ohio, a suburb of Cincinnati where Ivery demanded $1,000 in merchandise free of charge for "reparations". She was placed under arrest after a loss prevention officer at the store physically confronted her.

CCTV footage showed the Target security employee punching her in the snot-box after she repeatedly talked to the cashier about those dandy "reparations" regarding her bill.

After what was described in the police report as a brief encounter, a manager approached Ivery and the cashier. The report then said that Ivery began "aggressively" walking in the direction of the manager, who was born a white woman.

“Ivery kept berating her about reparations and her privileged life,” the report said. [By 'privileged', did she mean that the woman had a job?]

According to the report, Zach Cotter, the store’s loss prevention officer, then stepped in and told Ivery to 1) chill out and 2) leave the store.

Instead of chilling she began turning her Karen-esque entitlement on Cotter — then, when he retreated, followed him back to his office. When he tried to shut the door, she kept him from doing so by force and, according to Cotter’s own words on the police bodycam video, cornered him “in an enclosed space.”

“And I hit her in the face,” he told police. 

Don't you wish you could have been there? While I don't usually approve of violence, it was totally justified in this case. So check out the Twitter link below and enjoy:

When the police officer asked Ivery, who was in the office, if she was all right, she responded, “Physically I am OK. Emotionally I am very, very angry.”

She is also very, very delusional to think she's entitled for an establishment to pay for her items based on her melanin level.

According to the U.K.’s Daily Mail, the reparations incident got stranger from there.

The report said the full police bodycam footage shows that when the officer told her to stop talking, Ivery responded, “Do you know who I am? Clearly, you don’t know who I am.”

Does anyone up to this point know who she is?

When the officer asked about the incident, she described it thusly: “I was asking the cashier to reach out to her manager so we could have a larger conversation about how money works, and how provision works, and how it’s been working in our community in a very wrong way.

Ivery later called it “my Rosa Parks moment.”

More like her Jussie Smollett moment.

The police were disagreed. The report  “determined that Ivery was the aggressor.” She eventually was sentenced to a day in jail and $110 in fines for disorderly conduct.

 But she only received 20% of what Smollett got for his "This is Trump Territory" fake mugging.

Biden admin may ask Blacks on census if they're descended from slaves

"It was right on the tip of my, uh, that thing in my mouth"

The Biden handler[s] are considering asking Black Americans on the census and other government forms, whether their ancestors were slaves [mostly of the Democrats in the South] which is a ploy to lay the groundwork for a federal reparation distribution system.

The solution to this may be having everyone identify as Black and put that in all government forms asking that question and answer it in the affirmative. If Rachel Dolezal can say she's Black, Jessica Krug, a professor at George Washington University say she's Black, and Elizabeth Warren say she's a Native American, we can all say we're Black. In fact, here's a list of White liberals who said they were Black. If they can do it, we all can do it. Reparations for all!

The Biden administration is asking for public input on how to differentiate blacks descended from slaves in America from those who have emigrated from places like Africa and the Caribbean, the Wall Street Journal reported. Of course by asking people the question and knowing that if they say they're descended from slaves that they'll hit the jackpot, they just might not be totally truthful.

The White House is also torn between labeling the former group "American Descendants of Slavery," "American Freedmen," or "Foundational Black Americans." Questions about African Americans' ancestry would appear on forms including home and student loan applications.

There has been no talk about reparations for the families of the 2,000 British sailors who died on the high seas fighting against the slave traders, nor the families of the hundreds of thousands of Civil War Union soldiers who died fighting against the Democrat South. 

This move is obviously political and targeted to buy the Black vote forever because the Democratic Party has nothing to offer besides handouts, promises, and identity politics that has divided this country even before Barack Obama pushed it over the cliff.

The move is part of a push among Democrat politicians across the country to consider paying reparations to Black citizens. San Francisco this month moved to create a $50 million office that could pay out a proposed $5 million payment to each Black resident simply based on their skin color or whether they identified as Black for at least 10 years. One reparations committee member, Daniel Landry, suggested a $500 million payment per person because destroying the American economy is no big deal when you don't understand economics and consequences.

Economists advising a California state reparations panel said last week that California taxpayers who never owned slaves somehow owes Black residents, who were never slaves, at least $800 billion, nearly triple the state’s annual budget. Makes perfect sense if you're a Marxist.

'Elizabeth "Spouting Bull' Warren's policies total over $3.7 googols

Jackson, Mississippi -- Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) promoted a few of her signature proposals at a town hall event Monday night -- which, all told, could cost a combined $3.7 googols [not to be confused with Google, which is where I learned that a googol has 100 zeros after the number], according to recent estimates. 

The policies she has in mind are the Green New Deal, "free" [LOL] universal child care administered by pediatricians at the point of a gun, and slavery reparations paid for by Americans for people who held slaves in the past but for whom they are likely not related. Even if your family came to America after the abolition of slavery, you still are guilty of being white, if you are white. Even Robert O'Rourke apologized for being white, so reparations is the left's way of doing so, and is a great virtue signal for them.

The 2020 Democratic hopeful told the crowd that the Green New Deal represents a way forward for the country, Venezuela style.

“That’s how we build a future. And I’ll add one little piece to it and say when you take a look at the Green New Deal, understand this is about building the infrastructure for the 21st century, for a sustainable world,” Spouting Bull said, forgetting to mention that since the GND has been proposed by a congressional eco major, she has been hoarding toilet paper, canned food and gold, "just in case."

“We do these things together because you can’t start a little business and at the same time try to build the road out front of your house. [WTF?] ... What’s happened in America is we have cut back on those infrastructure investments. Right now, we are spending about six-tenths of one percent on our infrastructure. China, by comparison, is spending about five percent of its GDP on infrastructure.” [Yeah but their stuff falls apart in a week.]

Can you picture bridges crashing down and roads with potholes the size of Death Valley if we go with Fauxcahontas?

Creator of GND in red crayon

The sweeping proposal put forward by bug-eyed Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, (D-NY), could cost as much as $93 trillion, or approximately $600,000 per household, according to a January study co-authored by the former director of the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. This should scare anyone with a functioning cortex.

The unprecedented quite stupid plan doesn't come cheap, American Action Forum president Douglas Holtz-Eakin and his co-authors wrote in the study.

"The Green New Deal is clearly very expensive," the study concluded. "Its further expansion of the federal government’s role in some of the most basic decisions of daily life, however, would likely have a more lasting and damaging impact than its enormous price tag." And it's freaking socialism! It will not work, it never has and it never will because it's a flawed ideology that goes against human nature and freedom.

During her town hall, Warren also voiced support for reparations and said she would back the creation of a useless, overpaid panel “to examine slavery and discrimination in the colonies and the United States from 1619 to the present and recommend appropriate remedies,” rather than simply asking Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden what was it like back then.

"I believe it's time to start the national, full-blown conversation about reparations," Warren said on CNN, before adding: “ignoring the problem is not working.”

“We get a 2 percent tax on the 75,000 richest families in this country, we would have enough money to provide universal childcare, universal pre-k, universal pre-pre-k for every child in America and still have $2 trillion left over. Let’s make it happen.”

In other words, take the money away from the rich, those who took risks investing their capital in a business or some venture, and give it to people who have more melanin in their skin because they might be related to someone who was a slave that had nothing to do with the rich person from whom you are stealing.

This is why socialism and Communism are immoral.

I hope you'll follow Brain Flushings and have a few laughs while you get a conservative viewpoint. Politics is the new NFL without the mindless kneeling and this blog will both inform you and hopefully entertain you bigly.

Maxine Waters wants white folks to pay black folks reparation

If Democrats win the House in this year's midterms, crazy Maxine Waters promises that white people will pay black people for being black people. It's called reparations but it doesn't repair anything, but it certainly does make everyone angry and divided.

And I suspect Waters has a plan to pocket some of those nice reparations all for herself. After all, she had been named  one of the most corrupt members of Congress by  Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. 

Waters appeared in Selma, Alabama on Saturday with CNN commie Angela Rye. She attacked President Trump, which is her main political platform, saying: "He's a bully--he has a bully mentality." Of course, she never gave specifics but that usually doesn't matter when you're preaching to the choir.

"We need someone in the presidency who not only has good sense, but understands diplomacy and understands what we need to do to have peace in this world so we can all look forward to the possibility that we're someday going to have a world that's about peace and justice and respect for individual liberty," she said, not mentioning how that can be done when the world still has North Korea, China, Russia, Iran and other dictatorships that would like to destroy us.

Comrade Rye asked the raving lunatic "Is that your stump speech for 2020?" 

Waters giggled like a little confused child as the crowd applauded. Rye went on, "Is she running? Is she running?"

Oh, I hope so, but Waters didn't answer due to a low hearing aide battery, perhaps.

The an attendee pushed Waters to call for reparations and take up a bill John Conyers sponsored in this House previously.

Waters said she would call for reparations. "I'd be happy to do that. That's no problem," she shouted through her dentures.

"In order to get where we need to go on this issue and other issues, we really got to understand that 2018 is important in taking back the House and taking back the Senate," she said, adding, "And of course, we've got to get the White House back."

She ended her bloviating by criticizing HUD Secretary Dr. Ben Carson. She told the crazed audience that she was going to "take care" of him, which sounds either like a threat or a sexual innuendo.

Hopefully for Dr. Carson's sake, it's the former.
