Undercover tabbies, Monday fantasy …
Rep. Ilhan Omar: “When I think about Stephen Miller and his white supremacist rhetoric, it reminds me of the way the Nazis described Jewish people in Germany.” pic.twitter.com/mMAemr7NQL

Ed: Stephen Miller is Jewish. Also, given Omar’s support for the pro-Hamas wing of the Left and her remarks about it being “all about the Benjamins, baby,” she should really take this opportunity to sit down and STFU. She’s trying to deflect attention from her potential involvement in a fraud that allegedly sent a lot of money to the radical Islamist terrorists in Somalia, too.

Mark Steyn: We generally report such stories under the headline “The Shame of England“. For a decade, the overwhelming reaction of our American readers and viewers has been along the lines of “This would never happen in America, Steyn”, augmented by a few random observations on Euro-pussies more generally.
Well, it turns out it is happening in America, or at least in Minnesota: exactly the same collision and collusion between progressive “anti-racist” pieties and the sacrifice of your womenfolk to certain “communities” (dread word). Meet “Minnesota man” Abdimahat Bille Mohamed:
On December 12, 2017, Mohamed and two others kidnapped and raped a 15-year-old girl (Minor Victim 1). Minor Victim 1 met Mohamed online, on the social media platform Snapchat. Mohamed agreed to give Minor Victim 1 a ride and picked her up in St. Paul. Instead of driving her to her requested location, Mohamed drove Minor Victim 1 to Minneapolis against her will. Mohamed parked his car in Minneapolis. Suddenly, two more men got in the car. One of them was holding a short-barreled silver revolver. The man pointed the gun at Minor Victim 1’s head and said, “give my brother some head or I’ll blow your head off.”
Just hold it there for a moment – and let me ask you as one man of the world to another: when you’re at home of an evening and thinking you’d rather go out for a gang-rape than a meatball sub, do you take along your brother? or your cousin? or your uncle? Or would that make conversation round the Thanksgiving table a little icky?
Ed: I suspect it happens elsewhere too, perhaps in Dearbornistan, but we have already seen it on college campuses to a lesser degree. Harvard just hired someone who assaulted a Jewish student for his religious identity as an instructor. They literally rewarded a hate crime rather than uphold the law. It’s just a matter of degree.

Enough with the Fake News sob stories over the illegal Somalis in Minnesota.
“I would describe Abdi as the friendliest guy that I know.”

He was “convicted of stealing a vehicle, shoplifting, and other offenses…”
Time to go home, Abdi! pic.twitter.com/x7GODIdeb8

Bill Glahn at Power Line: Alarms? What alarms? Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) appeared on CBS Face the Nation this morning (full video here). Her evasions on the subject of Somali fraud take up the bulk of the 9-minute appearance, with the ritual Trump-bashing closing out the segment.
The big news coming out of her CBS interview begins at th 8:05 mark, when Omar calls Trump advisor Stephen Miller, who is Jewish, a Nazi (8:16).
As for the fraud, I mentioned to Laura Ingraham on Fox News the other night, Ilhan Omar filmed a video (still available) inside the largest free-food scam location in Minneapolis, promoting the food scam, while the scam was occurring.
Ed: She was defending this even after federal prosecutors started racking up convictions. Let’s hope US Attorney Joe Thompson is ‘following the money,’ because with this much fraud, everyone connected to it had to be getting their beaks wet.

Bill Maher and Ana Kasparian clashed in a sharp on air exchange after Kasparian suggested Middle East instability was driven by Western intervention. Maher pressed her on whether Islamic norms, not “whitey,” restricted women’s freedoms, repeatedly circling back to whether she… pic.twitter.com/t1RLnI0U0S

Ed: This is the idiocy of the colonizer/colonized worldview as applied to Israel specifically, and more generally to the West. Islam has been around a very long time, and its most fundamental adherents have imposed 7th-century restrictions wherever they take power – largely through colonization and oppression. That has nothing to do with European civilization or caucasians, except to the extent they keep justifying it as a means to “deconstruct” the West.

Shipwreckedcrew: I used to tell young agents to not get too caught up in trying to make every puzzle piece fit because many people who commit crimes are often not the most rational thinkers or careful planners. “Why would he do that? questions were often responded to by me with “Don’t waste time searching for rationality in the decisions of an irrational person.”
Many of the details laid out in the Affidavit in Support of the Criminal Complaint against Brian Cole Jr., last week don’t make much sense if you were looking for an individual aggrieved over the Jan 6 protest in D.C. — on either side.
But the pieces to the puzzle that are assembled in the details of the Affidavit do lead to one over-arching and unanswered question — given what is known, why did it take 1,798 days to announce the arrest of Brian Cole?
Ed: Read it all. This makes no sense at all, except that it might have served the Biden Regency’s purposes to make this look like an offshoot of the January 6 riot rather than anything else. Cole’s arrest has made it pretty clear that he’s a loner and a crank with a grudge against the first Trump administration and its aggressive immigration enforcement, which created a financial problem for his father’s businesses.

Could not stomach reading this story on @JoeBiden immigration policy this AM, for fear I would be depressed, angry, or both. Just read it now and hope my blood will stop boiling by bedtime. Every D needs to read and take a long look in the mirror. https://t.co/crE3iUtvaD

Ed: Dan Turrentine partners up with Sean Spicer and Mark Halperin on podcasts. He’s a center-Left Democrat. David wrote more about this example of the “now it can be told” genre.

Free Beacon: New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s (D.) transition team includes a man whose organization is under congressional investigation for allegedly teaching illegal aliens how to evade ICE officers, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.
Mamdani named Wayne Ho, who has served as president and CEO of the Chinese-American Planning Council (CPC) nonprofit since 2017, to his Committee on Social Services last month. The House Committee on Homeland Security opened an investigation into CPC in April based on a video showing a member of CPC’s leadership “explaining strategies for avoiding and potentially impeding immigration officials during a seminar in New York,” according to a letter from then-committee chairman and former congressman Mark Green (R., Tenn.).
Green wrote that the committee was “deeply concerned that CPC and other NGOs that receive taxpayer dollars may be advising or training illegal aliens on strategies to avoid cooperation with immigration officials.” Though Green no longer leads the committee, a staff member confirmed to the Free Beacon that the investigation is ongoing.
Ed: Quelle surprise. I suspect this is a feature rather than a bug for voters in New York City who put Mamdani in office, however.

The progressive version of “justice” means more Americans have to get hurt or killed as collateral damage so illegal aliens can stay protected. https://t.co/FagPQSJV74

Ed: That’s only part of the problem. The bigger issue is that we treat violent American criminals like we treat illegal aliens … we let them out to keep offending, until someone ends up seriously wounded or worse.

Newsbusters: CBS News remained in the headlines last week vis-à-vis comings and goings as editor-in-chief Bari Weiss further having a look under the proverbial hood. This time, we saw a date for the expected departure of CBS Evening News co-anchor Maurice DuBois and a reported desire to sign CBS Mornings co-host Tony Dokoupil to the PM chair, but most notable was a questionable decision to bring over longtime ABC correspondent Matt Gutman.
Yes, the same Gutman who said the texts between the suspect in Charlie Kirk’s assassination and his transgender lover were “heartbreaking,” “intimate” and “touching” (which he was forced to offer a mea culpa one day later) …
Earlier this year, he whined about the actions of Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) in California, defended Los Angeles rioters, and carried water for Harvard in its fight against the Trump administration.
Thus, it has to be asked: What in the world is Bari thinking?
Ed: I’m prepared to give Bari some leeway in hires. She’s not a conservative, after all, but does insist that she is focused on credible reporting. This hire cuts directly against that mission.

Short answer- no. https://t.co/le5dw4y9N2

Ringside at the Reckoning: But Van Epps ended up winning by nine. CNN could still spin this as a good night for the Democrats, but to me it seemed more like a case of “all dressed up with nowhere to go.”
Sure, the gap between Van Epps’ margin and those of the Republicans named above was large. But Trump, Blackburn, and Green were known quantities. Van Epps, not so much.
Moreover, this was a special election in an off year. With the Democrats riled up at President Trump and Republicans less focused on partisan politics than in big election years, one would expect a better performance from a Democrat in such a contest than in a true election year.
Thus, although Republicans could take no great comfort in this result, the Democrats couldn’t take much, either.
Ed: I see it as a wash, too. The district reverted to form. If the GOP and Trump learn a lesson about engagement and economic messaging, it might turn out to be a valuable wash.

Sadly, this is the first year at the commemoration ceremony at Pearl Harbor that no Pearl Harbor survivor has attended. We have lost so many over the past few years and as few as 12 remain living today. From one generation to the next. Remember Pearl Harbor. Remember those lost.… pic.twitter.com/8Oxegt9qHF
