Scum’s Gonna Scum...

     ...and while there are plenty of scummy types on Capitol Hill, some definitely “outperform” the rest.

     It’s generally known that Ilhan Omar is in Congress solely because of the large population of Somali immigrants in Minnesota’s 5th Congressional district. Omar herself is a Somali immigrant. Given the state of affairs in that African sewer, one might reasonably imagine that Omar would be grateful to have been admitted to this country. However, when it comes to the behavior of a Muslim, reason seldom has a place at the explanatory table.

     The rumors about Omar having married her own brother to commit an immigration fraud have been circulating for some time. They’ve just acquired lots of additional substance:

  • that he will not go to jail for Omar;


     Interesting, no? The hard-left Minneapolis Star-Tribune, which has treated Omar with unconcealed adulation up to now, is suddenly on the case:






     The response from Omar? It’s all right-wing plotting and Islamophobia:

     Omar spokesman Jeremy Slevin issued a statement Friday asserting that the questions about her personal life are illegitimate:



     Imagine any Republican – imagine any white male Christian — attempting to deflect such serious and well-substantiated accusations in a comparable fashion. Imagine what would become of him.

     There’s been a lot of talk about a two-tiered justice system in this country: the powerful skate on even the most serious offenses, while the little guy suffers the full weight of the law. It’s demonstrably that way as regards the coup attempt against President Trump orchestrated from within the FBI and CIA. What underlines the scurrility is the likely success of the attempt by Omar to evade scrutiny for crimes that would get an ordinary immigrant deported. She’ll receive all the protective cover her Democrat colleagues can contrive.

     The Democrats always do that for one of “their own.” Look at the cover they’ve provided Charles Rangel. Look at how they attempted to protect Anthony Weiner. And do I really need to mention Ted Kennedy? Power is what matters to the Democrats. Indeed, nothing else does.

     Worse, the Republicans almost always yield to it. They can’t bring themselves to confront such arrant lawlessness. The press might say something unflattering about them. Not that the press won’t do so anyway. But the typical GOP public official has his spine surgically removed before taking office. Whether his conscience is left in place remains unclear.

     Yet there are still people who demand to know “how we could have elected Donald Trump.” How dare we choose a man from outside the political elite! How dare we opt for one known for brashness of statement and daring in action! How dare he defy all precedent by working to fulfill his campaign promises – and how dare we stand loyally by him as the rest of the mortally offended ruling class labors to bring him down! It is to laugh...hollowly, and with many a tear.



Sorry for the shouting, but....

TOO DAMNED MANY in the GOP are more concerned with being invited to the "beautiful people" cocktail parties, having laudatory articles in the enemedia about how they've "grown in office" and fawning pieces at the end of their career / obituaries, and feathering their own nests.

Let's face it the self anointed have decided they know best for this country's future and they see Somalia as their role model.
