Wait @Uber allows illegal aliens to drive??
Sounds like a pretty big deal…
Perhaps @DHSgov and @USDOT should investigate this
A Texas father who had lived in the U.S. for 25 years with no criminal record was finishing his night shift as an Uber driver when immigration agents detained him.
Without being able to speak to his lawyer or a judge, he was put on a plane and sent first to Ghana, a country where he had no ties. He was then sent to his home country, despite a determination by a U.S. immigration court judge that he could not be deported there due to likely persecution. cbsn.ws/3Ude66r

Ilhan may have staged a hate crime hoax in 2016 that backfired by leading her to file a government report in which she inadvertently admitted to being part of the Elmi family.

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar writes in her memoir, “I was eight years old when civil war broke out in Somalia. One day everything was okay, and the next, there were bullets piercing not only buildings but also people.” While Somalia has suffered several civil wars, the chapter is entitled, “War: 1989-1991, Mogadishu, Somalia.” Mogadishu experienced severe riots in July 1989, including a mass execution that became known as the “Jazeera beach massacre.”
If, in her own words in her own autobiography, Omar was eight when this occurred in 1989, then she was born in 1981, and was 19 years old in the year 2000, when her father purportedly obtained his citizenship, not 1982 as she currently claims.

You might think Hope Walz is stupid.
I don't.
Even though this DEI rant of hers sounds dumb, what she's likely doing is playing slight-of-hand with language. You have to listen closely to catch it. It's actually pretty clever on her part.

Omar's vulnerably may not be a performance. If the rumor I heard is true, she could be facing the prospect of consequences for the first time in her life with no emotional framework for dealing with it.

A guy drove his Tesla Model Y for 3 years.
He drove it. He charged it. He used Autopilot. That was it.
His coworker got in the passenger seat one afternoon and said: “Your car has 150+ voice commands, a built-in security system, a feature that keeps your dog alive while you shop, a camping mode that turns the car into a climate-controlled tent, a dashcam recording 4 camera angles 24/7, an external speaker that plays custom sounds, a scheduled departure that preconditions the cabin and battery, a quiet mode for sleeping kids, waypoint navigation for multi-stop road trips, Grok AI that controls the car by voice with 5 different personalities, Caraoke with real-time scoring, and Easter eggs hidden in a Toybox menu and you’ve used Autopilot and the radio.”
He opened the Toybox that afternoon. He enabled Sentry Mode. He used Dog Mode for the first time. He activated Camp Mode. He scheduled his morning departure. He tried “Hey Grok” with the Unhinged personality.
Same Tesla. Same Model Y. Same 3 years of driving.
“I was driving a spaceship like a Honda Civic with a touchscreen.”
Here are 11 Tesla features most owners have never activated 🧵

Nobody is coming to save you.
You have to save yourself.
But I don't see such will in my fellow Minnesotans. I don't see determination to be free or see justice done.
I see apathy, distraction, delusion, expecting someone else to take care of it.
Prove me wrong.

The world No. 1 in women's tennis, Aryna Sabalenka, unleashes a devastating and unfiltered statement: "It's vital to protect fairness. Biologically, men are much stronger than women. It's not fair. It's not equality. It's not women's sports if we let biological men compete against us." She sides with Sophie Cunningham and sends a clear message: women are not going to keep staying silent while they steal our titles, podiums, and opportunities from us.

🚨 BREAKING: Scott Bessent has ordered GEOTRACKING of the money flowing out of Minneapolis–St. Paul and suddenly the Somalis are in FULL PANIC MODE.
REP. ROBBINS confirms it. “All the cash is now being geotracked where the Somalis live. This will really help. They weren’t tracking it before. Once it got to Dubai, they stopped.”
Read that again. They LET it disappear. Now the lights are on. The pipeline is exposed. The money trail is LIVE. This is how you crush organized fraud. Follow the cash. Lock them up.

This explains why what people call “suicidal empathy” happens.
They don’t want to deal with THIS.
But like one drop of rain ignored… soon the flood is upon you.

Laken Riley had a Garmin smartwatch on when she was attacked.
Her heart rate jumped to 170 bpm which told investigators that was when she was being attacked.
It lasted for 17 minutes then suddenly stopped - that's when the animal finally killed her.
So the next time you want to tell me about how unfair illegal immigrants are being treated I want you to set a timer for 17 minutes and watch it go by so you can understand how long that young woman fought for her life. (text above by @SaltyGoat17)
Peggy Flanagan (candidate for US senate from Minnesota): "The Laken Riley Act strips due process from our immigrant neighbors."

If there was this much smoke around my immigration status, aliases, and financial dealings, I can’t imagine having the hutzpah to run for Congress, man, let alone crap on my host country constantly. Just incredible. She’s either innocent or the most arrogant SOB of all time.

this is such a wild trend:
100% conviction
0% comprehension
it's a magic word cult.
they do not even understand what the words they are speaking mean.
they think they are magic spells that make people have to agree with them and that silence dissent.
this is the sort of empty headed addle brained identity that emerges from years of cosseted cancel culture.
they argue by assertions they cannot even explain, much less defend.
it can only sustain itself by suppressing debate and discussion.
it disintegrates like sugar sculpture in a thunderstorm when challenged or asked to explain itself.
keep pushing.
this is the fun part.

🚨 NOW: Clay Travis says Somali Rep. Ilhan Omar Nur Said Elmi was possibly INSTRUCTED BY LAWYERS to say "not to my knowledge" about marrying her brother because she expects CRIMINAL CHARGES to be handed down
"'Not to my knowledge' sounds to me like a defense from a CHARGE that she is expecting to potentially come down!"
"I do think there will be charges brought against Ilhan Omar, and she will say that she was a victim of fraud, that she did not engage in any illegal knowledge, any illegal acts..."
"'Not to my knowledge' feels like her laying the groundwork for a defense from potential criminal charges that might be coming!" @ClayTravis 💯
Nobody answers "not to my knowledge" when asked if they married their own brother unless their defense attorneys told them to leave wiggle room before an indictment drops!!
I think it's coming.
With HSI seizing over a DOZEN ITEMS from her D.C. home and grand jury subpoenas going out to her relatives, the case is building rapidly!
And to be honest, it's likely been building for MONTHS.
Ilhan cannot escape what's coming. DEPORTATION might be the LEAST of her worries

The second-in-command of Feeding Our Future was in direct contact with Ilhan Omar’s office, and yet Minnesota Democrats couldn’t handle the truth.
Now it’s up to our federal partners to uncover what’s she’s hiding.
