I’m posting two days in a row because I’m making a quick trip up to Tennessee to see my mom and sister, and wanted to get a mid-week column in before I leave.
Today I’d like to point out two of my least favorite, most ungrateful immigrants. The first is Ilhan Omar. If you’ve been following the news, you already know that she’s pretty terrible. She hates the Jews (unexpectedly!), and she’s not too fond of Americans; she often refers to Somalis and Somalia as “my people” and “our country” in her speeches, which are often delivered in Somali. (Yay, assimilation!)
She also pretty clearly married her brother in order to facilitate his fraudulently immigrating to this country, which has been an open “secret” in Minnesota for many years, and is now well known throughout America. So can someone explain to me why she has not yet been charged with that crime?
I’m no law-talkin’ guy (Lionel Hutz reference for $100, Alex), but I think that she and her brother would be pretty easy to convict on that charge. Especially since her only valid defense might be to insist that no, no, she really did want to bang her brother, conjugally speaking. And once such a conviction was secured, couldn’t she and her brother both be denaturalized, and then deported back to the land toward which she apparently has the kind of patriotic feelings that she clearly doesn’t have toward America?
If any of my regular readers are lawyers, please comment on whether denaturalization would be an option in her case.
The latest infuriating Ilhan-ian news involves the massive Somali-immigrant-driven billion-dollar fraud against American taxpayers that is only starting to be investigated. This scandal has everything: scamming housing funds; scamming Medicaid funds; scamming food program funds; making up fake autism claims that are then treated by fake therapists during non-existent therapy sessions.
And the rancid cherry on this malfeasance sundae is that at least some of the stolen funds were sent overseas to fund the barbaric Somali terror group Al-Shabaab. It’s a perfect storm of terribleness all the way around. And Omar was up to her neck in the scandal. Because of course she was.
She’s been in smiling photographs with many of the bad actors who had prominent roles in the fraud, and she held multiple parties at a restaurant owned by one of the lead scammers, who has since been convicted for stealing millions. As has one of her own staffers. In fact, she introduced the bill that led to $250 million of the $1 billion (and counting) fraud.
Her specific bill set up a program to provide meals – phantom meals, as it turned out – to schoolchildren during covid, and which has continued since. (Is there ANYTHING that went wrong in America in the last 5 years that didn’t owe at least some debt to the blossoming scams involved in covid?)
Imagine her surprise when, during an interview with normally-Democrat-boot-licking Jake Tapper, Tapper stumbled into a moment of accidental journalism. He actually asked a straightforward question: “Why did fraud in Minnesota get so out of control?”
Poor Ilhan must have been struck in the cranium with a 2-by-4 shortly before the interview, because she gave an answer that was half Que Mala Harris and half Karl Childers (the slow main character from Sling Blade): “I think what happened, um, is that, you know, when you have these, kind of, new programs that are, um, designed to, uh, help people you are often times relying on third parties to be able to facilitate, and I just think that a lot of the COVID programs…were set up so quickly that a lot of the guardrails did not get created.”
Got that? “The guardrails” were not created, because Omar’s cronies were in such a big hurry to start turning fake meals into real cash that could be used to buy machetes for Al-Kabong, or whatever those Somali jihadists call themselves.
If you’ll allow me to engage my Sam Kinison filter… [begin Kinison] “Gee, Ilhan, you know who probably should have created some guardrails before proposing a bill? YOU! YOU WROTE A DEFECTIVE, GUARD-RAIL-LESS BILL, YOU BROTHER-BANGING FRAUDSTER!! OH! OHHHH!!” [end Kinison]
Good lord! If Tapper had more than one good question per year in him, he could have followed up by asking why we didn’t see that scale of fraud in any other state, perpetrated by any other group. But alas, Tapper tapped out.
But it’s not like we can’t see through her lame answer. She is basically victim-blaming the taxpayers of Minnesota for being too gullible, and too easy for crooked Somalis like Ilhan and her friends to rip-off. The Feds better put Omar on the hot seat in their investigation of this massive fraud, and they better charge her with her own immigration fraud, at least!
Speaking of hateful ingrates in America, you’ve probably never even heard of Wajahat Ali before. And if that’s the case, lucky you.
He’s a Pakistani-American leftist Muslim, and he really hates white people, America, and American culture.
Unexpectedly!
Ali is sort of a male, Muslim version of Joy(less) Reid. In fact, it was on Ali’s Substack podcast that Joy Reid famously said that white folks, “Made this country into a slave hell. They can’t originally invent anything more than they were ever able to invent good music.” (Shhhh, don’t tell Joy this, but every slave brought into this country was bought from a black slave trader in the slave hell of Africa. Or that Beethoven, Mozart, Handel, Bach, the Beatles and Tom Petty are all as white as Liz Warren.) (#wemustneverstopmockingher)
But that’s Joy; she’s room-temperature-IQ stupid. She’s stupid enough that even the other mouth-breathers at MSNBC finally said, “Wow! She is too stupid for this network.”
And it turns out that ol’ Wajahat is not a lot smarter. I mean, he’s smart enough to have an evil plan, but not smart enough to keep his evil mouth shut about it. He’s dumb enough to say the racist part out loud! In a recent podcast, it was as if he were trying to embody very ugly stereotype of hateful, racist, entitled immigrants, even though his parents were the immigrants – and criminals convicted of fraud, it turns out – and he was born in California.
Lest you think I am exaggerating, here are some excerpts from his podcast, none of which I am making up: “You [white people] lost. The mistake that you made is you let us [brown people] in in the first place [in 1965]. There’s a bunch of us, and we breed. We’re a breeding people.”
He brags about chain migration, and returns to the theme that when America let people like his parents in, we lost, because we are culturally inferior. “Your story is a sh*tty story filled with misery….Your music sucks.. All your culture sucks.”
As creepy as Wajahat is, we can still learn something from him. Because as the old saying goes, “even an evil moron is right twice a day.”
No, wait. That’s supposed to be a broken clock. Because even a broken clock can be an ungrateful, hate-filled moron.
Oh never mind. The point is, Wajahat is not completely wrong. Because it was a mistake to invite in millions of people like his parents starting in the mid-1960s, and an even bigger mistake to elect the late Joe Biden to let in many millions more in just 4 years.
Not for the racist reasons that Ali cites. Because he’s a racist a-hole. But for cultural, political, and economic reasons. By now the folly of opening our borders (and our welfare system) to millions of people who don’t want to assimilate, and who bring with them the dysfunction and incompatible cultures of their home countries is abundantly clear.
And though we shouldn’t need a brainless hater like Ali to broadcast this folly far and wide, we should make sure his message gets out there, to the revulsion of average American voters.
And if you travel in our country a lot, and if you should ever meet Ali in person, and he says, “I’m Wajahat,” you should ignore him.
Because if he is honestly trying to start a conversation with you, you should snub him because of what an awful racist troll he is.
If, on the other hand, he is trying to indicate that he is choking on something – probably his own bile – you should not intervene.
Instead, kneel down in front of him, while he continues to choke out “wajahat…wajahat” and say, “I would do the Heimlich on you and save your life, except that I want to respect your political and religious hatreds. And since Henry Heimlich was an American, and a white guy, and Jewish, I know you despise him, and wouldn’t want to be saved by any of our sucky white American culture.”
“So…bye bye, Wajjie!”
Hamas (and Trantifa) delenda est!
