Ilhan Omar Was 37 When She Entered Congress. Soon, She Became 36.

Leftists are amazing people. They can transform burly men not only into women, but into champion female athletes. They can make at least some people think that Old Joe Biden was a competent president and that Kamala Harris remains an appealing presidential candidate. They can sell gargantuan nanny state government and control over the minutest details of your life as the little guy finally getting justice and a fair shake. Is there anything they can’t do?

Apparently there isn’t. Now it has come to light that they can even turn back the clock and make people younger — if not everyone, then at least their leading apparatchiks. The New York Post reported Tuesday that the embattled Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu) was 37 when she entered the House of Representatives, but soon afterward, became 36.

It’s a neat trick. But don’t try it at home. It seems that “Omar’s staff helped get her birthdate changed in public records once the Minnesota Democrat was elected to Congress in 2018, a switch that has since spurred frenzied accusations that she misrepresented her age to secure US citizenship.” Omar became a year younger, you see, because she has stated publicly that she entered the U.S. as a minor, under the guardianship of her father, but if she was actually 18 when she entered the country, she was not actually a minor at all.

That’s why this change of her birthdate may play a significant role in her immigration fraud case: “The alteration could offer a big clue as to what federal immigration agents were searching for when they raided her DC home Monday: If the congresswoman is actually one year older than she’s claimed to be, that would mean she couldn’t have legally become a US citizen in 2000, critics contend.”

James Talarico Mental Breakdown Report Highlights The Deteriorating State Of Independent Journalism

After decades of legacy media becoming the proverbial Orwellian boot stomping out the face of the truth, a faint glimmer of hope glinted in the eyes of audiences trying to see through the propaganda constantly saturating their view. That optimism arose following a paradigm shift leading to greater decentralization of media, in which independent journalism was finally given the ground to flourish following the takeover of Twitter by Elon Musk from the hands of technocratic oligarchs that used the platform as a mechanism for mass censorship and to curate approved narratives. In the few years since Twitter rebranded itself as X under the mission of trying to replace the system ushered in by the legacy media, the trajectory of that endeavor has taken a dismal turn in which it appears to have done more to replicate that framework to put its control under its own hegemony. With that, independent journalists find themselves fighting the same struggle, as their calls for the pursuit of the truth continue to be drowned out by a cacophony of unearnest reporting from their peers that rivals that of the mainstream media machine they hoped they had finally dismantled.

The latest bombshell “report” from right-wing independent journalist Nick Sortor serves as a case study of how the new media paradigm has quickly devolved into the same problematic echo chamber it sought to sever itself from. On Sunday, Sortor teased a revelatory report that postured itself as tilting the scales of the contentious race for the junior senate seat for the state of Texas between Democrat James Talarico and Republican Ken Paxton. Once the dust settled, the report that was teased as bringing the unceremonious end to the Talarico campaign instead proved itself to be more of a damning indictment of the state of independent media.

DOJ Issues Grand Jury Subpoenas in Federal Criminal Investigation Into Ilhan Omar

Grand Jury subpoenas have been issued in the federal criminal investigation into Ilhan Omar, according to The New York Times.

As previously reported, federal agents raided the DC-area residence of far-left Democrat Muslima Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) early Monday morning as part of an ongoing criminal investigation into her immigration paperwork.

Federal HSI agents arrived at Ilhan Omar’s home at 6 am and removed boxes of evidence.

The Justice Department secured a search warrant for Ilhan Omar’s home amid a years-long investigation into her immigration fraud.

Federal investigators have been probing the immigration paperwork filed by Ilhan Omar’s father.

However, the scope of the federal criminal investigation is much wider than previously reported.

On Monday, the Associated Press and NBC News reported that according to sources, federal investigators were also probing Ilhan Omar’s financial records.

Missouri Judge LOCKS UP Two Children in Juvenile Detention After They Refuse to Go with Their Mother — Federal Appeals Court Strips His Immunity Defense: “Judges Do Not Do Double Duty as Jailers”

A Missouri judge who ordered two children locked inside juvenile detention cells because they refused to leave a courthouse with their mother has been dealt a humiliating defeat in federal court.

On Tuesday, October 13, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit ruled against Missouri Circuit Judge Eric Eighmy, concluding that his outrageous handling of a family custody dispute violated the children’s clearly established constitutional rights.

The decision, written by Circuit Judge David Stras, upheld a jury’s $10,000 damages award to the children, along with a staggering $326,637.22 in attorney fees and costs.

And the reason for the children’s detention? They simply refused to leave with their mother following a custody hearing.

The parents and their attorneys reached a temporary agreement allowing the children to stay with their mother. However, Kadan and Brooklyn Rockett, who advanced to the semifinals of America’s Got Talent in 2016 with their jaw-dropping magic act and have appeared in Hollywood films, wanted to remain with their father to avoid disrupting their budding entertainment careers.

They were never parties to the case and never entered the courtroom. After the hearing, they argued with their mother in the courthouse hallway.

Judge Eighmy, according to the lawsuit and later findings, removed his robe, intervened, lectured the children on the “evils of Hollywood,” and grew frustrated when they stood firm.

Nobel Peace Prize Winner Navi Pillay Accused Of Helping China Target Uyghur Dissidents

Newly named 2026 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Navi Pillay is facing serious allegations that she helped China’s communist government identify Uyghur dissidents during her tenure as the United Nations’ top human rights official.

Uyghur activists and human rights watchdogs raised concerns over the weekend, accusing Pillay, a former U.N. high commissioner for human rights, of overseeing the disclosure of sensitive information about dissidents to Beijing, potentially exposing them and their families to persecution.

Dolkun Isa, former president of the World Uyghur Congress, said the U.N. placed significant obstacles in his organization’s path during Pillay’s leadership.

“I later learned that the office she led had shared information about my participation, and that of other human rights defenders, with the Chinese government without our consent,” Isa said.

He described the disclosure as a betrayal by an institution responsible for protecting human rights.

“A Nobel Peace Prize does not place anyone beyond accountability,” Isa added, demanding answers about who authorized the disclosures.

The accusations surfaced days after the Norwegian Nobel Committee announced Friday that Pillay would receive its 2026 Peace Prize, citing her “commitment to universal legal principles and her firm moral compass.”

U.N. whistleblower Emma Reilly also criticized the decision, alleging that Pillay’s office provided Chinese authorities with the identities of more than 50 dissidents.

Reilly claimed relatives of those activists subsequently faced intimidation, detention, torture and disappearance.

UN Watch Executive Director Hillel Neuer called on the Nobel Committee to address the allegations.

“The Nobel committee owes an explanation to the dissidents whose names were handed to China,” Neuer said.

The controversy comes amid longstanding accusations that Beijing has committed genocide against Uyghurs and other predominantly Muslim minorities in Xinjiang through mass detention, forced sterilization and religious persecution. China denies those accusations.

Sanctuary New York Refuses to Hand Over More than 16K Criminal Illegals Since Trump Took Office

The sanctuary state of New York has refused to hand over more than 16,000 criminal illegal aliens to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) since President Donald Trump took office in January 2025.

On Monday, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials released data showing that from January 20, 2025, through October 8, 2026, the state of New York refused to honor 16,070 ICE detainers placed on illegal aliens charged or convicted of crimes.

“While sanctuary politicians continue to release dangerous criminals onto their streets, our brave law enforcement officers will continue to risk their lives to arrest these heinous criminals and make America safe again,” DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said. “Illegal aliens have no sanctuary in America.”

Of those illegal aliens with ICE detainers whom New York has refused to turn over, there are more than 52,000 criminal charges and convictions — including murder, kidnapping, sex crimes, drunk driving, burglary, robbery, weapons offenses, drug possession, and assault.

“We enforce these laws with no help from Mayor Mamdani and Governor Hochul,” Mullin said. “The Trump administration is committed to protecting the American people in every city and every state, and we won’t let sanctuary politicians stand in our way. If you’re a state or local politician, your best bet is to cooperate with us so we can all make America safe again.”

Last week, two illegal aliens from the Dominican Republic, both released into the United States by the Biden administration, were accused of stabbing an off-duty New York Police Department (NYPD) officer.

DHS officials said both illegal aliens were previously arrested by the NYPD but were released from jail before ICE agents could lodge a detainer against them. The illegal aliens remain at-large.

The Picture They Won’t Keep

I have spent years asking Florida counties for the records that prove they counted your vote correctly. What I got back was fee estimates, exemption letters, a script written by a private lobbying corporation, and, in one hearing, a claim that it would take 18,000 hours to hand over a file that takes under a minute to export.

This is a long one. It has to be, because the officials who run our elections are counting on you not reading the manuals. I read them. Here is what they say, with the receipts.

Your vote is counted from a picture. Not from the paper.

Start with what the vendors say about their own machines, because the whole argument ends right there.

There is not one scanner in use in Florida or California today that reads a mark off the paper. The old machines did. The ES&S Model 100 and the old Diebold and Sequoia units shined infrared light at fixed spots on the sheet and registered whether it bounced back. No picture was ever made. The U.S. Election Assistance Commission’s own glossary draws the line: “Most older optical scan systems use Infrared (IR) scanning technology and ballots with timing marks to accurately scan the ballot. Newer (digital) optical scan systems can also capture images of ballots as they are tabulated.”

Every machine in both states is the newer kind. Florida’s 67 counties run two vendors. The Division of Elections’ own December 2025 map shows 49 counties on ES&S and 18 on Democracy Suite, whose maker the map now lists as “Liberty Vote USA” with a footnote: “formerly Dominion Voting Systems, Inc.” California’s 58 counties, per the Secretary of State’s April 30, 2026 list, run 39 on Liberty Vote (Dominion) ImageCast Central, 13 on Hart Verity, 5 on ES&S, and Los Angeles on its own VSAP Tally system. Every single one is a digital image scanner.

Here is the sequence, and it is the same on all of them. The read head is a contact image sensor, or on Dominion’s central scanner an off-the-shelf Canon document scanner. It photographs both sides of your ballot as the paper moves through. The software then goes to work on the photograph. It finds the timing marks, locates every oval from the election definition, counts the dark pixels inside each oval, and records a vote when the count crosses a threshold that the county set for that election. The vote is derived from the image. There is no second sensor reading the paper.

El-Sayed Tries to Dismiss Inconvenient Truths With Repeated Lies

Abdul El-Sayed’s latest family scandal — I know, it is difficult to keep up with them all — is that his sister has posted multiple times about their family’s long-time connection to the Muslim Brotherhood. And his extremely lame response to this revelation is just to repeat the lie that he is a doctor and whine about “racism.“

Eman Abdelhadi, an assistant professor at the University of Chicago and El-Sayed’s sister, wrote in 2012: “:( 😦 s**]t. My family has long been MB, but I’ve always felt that it has navigated the political sphere poorly/destructively.” In 2013, she posted, “Praying for all my family that supports the #MB in #Egypt. Lie low, stay safe.”

Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin tried to get El-Sayed’s campaign definitively to deny or confirm what Abdelhadi had posted. Without giving a direct denial about Abdelhadi’s posts, campaign spokesperson Roxie Richner griped that all allegations of Muslim Brotherhood ties are “untrue” and “racist.” Maybe she should tell that to the Muslim Brotherhood terrorists who excitedly celebrated El-Sayed’s candidacy.

“Abdul is a dad and a doctor. He has spent his entire career working to keep Michiganders healthy and safe,” Richner asserted. “Independent fact checkers have repeatedly debunked Mike’s lies, but their campaign continues to use bad faith attacks on Abdul’s faith and family. Mike wants to distract from Trump’s agenda that is terrorizing Michigan families at the pump and at the grocery store.” Mike Rogers is El-Sayed’s Republican opponent, and actually he is so incredibly good at revealing El-Sayed’s lies that there is a whole coalition of Democrats supporting him.

So the FBI Did Another Big Raid You Might Have Missed…

Did you hear the one about the FBI investigation in the Baltimore City Board of School Commissioners that caught one of them with his hand in the cookie jar of his own nonprofit?

It’s no joke, but it’s one of those stories of Democrat corruption that somehow [cough, cough] got lost in the shuffle. Let’s bring a little sunshine to it, shall we?

Three years ago, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott appointed longtime social worker and behavioral-health entrepreneur Mujahid Muhammad to the city’s Board of School Commissioners. His primary organization, KEYS — Keep Encouraging Youth to Succeed — since 2009 purportedly was involved it counseling, youth recreation, senior services, workforce training, and “culinary therapy”—using grocery deliveries and cooking lessons with families needing mental-health support.

KEYS took a kind of unconventional approach I’d usually think was noteworthy for all the right reasons.

Purportedly.

Project Baltimore reported last week that it “has been digging into KEYS Empowers financials and found that in federal filings, KEYS reports paying out over $400,000 in salaries to zero employees.”

Then there’s this from the Baltimore Banner: “A nonprofit called KEYS Empowers Inc. that lists the same address as its headquarters and Muhammad as the executive director reported receiving more than $4.7 million in government funds for the 2023 and 2024 tax years, tax filings show. That money made up the entirety of KEYS Empowers revenue for those years.”

Trump-Hating NY AG Letitia James Hit With Bar Complaint for “Flagrant Violation” of Ethics Rules in Cornell 7 Case — “She Must Recuse Herself” or Be Removed

New York Attorney General Letitia James, the hyper-partisan Democrat who built her career targeting President Trump, is now facing a formal bar ethics complaint for publicly prejudging the “Cornell 7” sexual assault case just days before Governor Kathy Hochul appointed her special prosecutor.

According to the New York Post, the National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC), a Washington, D.C.-based watchdog organization, filed a nine-page bar complaint against James with New York’s Attorney Grievance Committee on Friday, October 9.

The complaint accuses James of a clear, incurable conflict of interest and a “flagrant, obvious and therefore shocking” violation of the New York Rules of Professional Conduct after she posted supportive comments about the accuser before any investigation under her authority had even begun.

On September 28, 2026, three days before Hochul’s October 1 executive order naming her special prosecutor, James wrote on X and Facebook:

“What this young woman has been forced to endure is horrific and unacceptable. I’m holding her in my heart and in my prayers. To her, and to all survivors: you’re not alone. We stand with you.”

Legal ethicist Jack Marshall, whose expert report accompanies the complaint, concluded that James has a “serious and incurable conflict of interest.”

He stated she is “ethically and legally obligated to recuse” as special counsel and must be removed if she refuses. Marshall added that her comments raise “suspicion of a rigged, pre-determined and illicit investigation.”

NLPC counsel Paul Kamenar told the New York Post that James “exhibited a clear bias in favor of Jane Doe’s allegations and against the Chi Phi defendants” and “cannot serve as a special prosecutor in this case.”
