This week, the lingering allegations over the marital history of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) took an ominous step when Border Tsar Tom Homan publicly acknowledged that the government is looking into the matter. Rep. Omar has long denied that she married her brother to gain his entry into the United States, but the allegation has continued to rage on the Internet and among her critics. The question is whether this is a substantive case of fraud or defamation.
Homan stated that he was investigating whether Omar committed immigration fraud, but also noted that the statute of limitations has been an issue. In his comment to Newsmax, Homan stated:
“I just got advised by a fraud investigator the other day on that. I asked the question, can we review the files? You know, there was immigration fraud involved. The statute of limitation became an issue in the last four years when this was first brought up…Pulling the records now, pulling the files, and we’re looking at it. But this fraud investigator, who I know personally, one of the best fraud investigators in HSI, Homeland Security Investigations, said there’s no doubt he’d review the file. So, I’m running that down this week as a matter of fact, and we’ll see.”
According to her congressional biography, Omar came to the United States with her family in the 1990s. As I have previously noted, the election of a young immigrant to Congress is genuinely remarkable and commendable.
The questions arose regarding her marriage to Ahmed Elmi in 2009. Elmi was back in the news this week with postings highlighting his lifestyle as a “dirty dandy.” Critics charged that he is actually her brother. The couple divorced in 2017, and no DNA evidence has been offered to support the claim that they are siblings.
President Donald Trump and others have been ratcheting up the rhetoric against Omar and the Somali population in Minnesota. Many of us have objected to some of the attacks on Omar as offensive. As I have previously written, the call for foreign-born U.S. citizens to “go back to their own country” has been made for decades against foreign-born U.S. citizens. However, such attacks are generally protected speech.
The allegation against Rep. Omar is not opinion, but a statement of fact. Many news organizations have referred to the allegation as “debunked” and “unsupported.”
In defamation, truth is a defense. The truth of the matter, however, has never been easy to establish. In fairness to Rep. Omar, a person should not be in a position of having to “prove a negative.” It is not her obligation to prove that she is not a fraud or that she did not marry her brother. Her critics have never produced compelling evidence to support the claim.
Despite years of such statements by various people, Omar has never sued for defamation. It is a curious omission, since a successful lawsuit would dramatically reduce such claims, and even as a public official she could likely show actual malice in many of her critics.
Conversely, such litigation would also expose Omar to a lengthy discovery process regarding her family’s immigration history and related family issues.
I have taught defamation for over three decades, and it is rare for such an allegation to linger without some legal action by the subject. On its face, this would be a strong defamation case if the allegation is false.
The allegation would fall into one of the “per se” categories of defamation. Under the common law, these per se categories of defamation allow for presumed damages and include: (1) disparaging a person’s professional character or standing; (2) alleging a person is unchaste; (3) alleging that a person has committed a criminal act or act of moral turpitude; (4) alleging a person has a sexual or loathsome disease; and (5) attacking a person’s business or professional reputation. The language differs among the states, but the Omar allegation would constitute a criminal act as well as an attack on her character and reputation.
As a threshold matter, Omar would face a higher standard of proof due to her status as a public official. In New York Times v. Sullivan, the Supreme Court established the actual malice standard, requiring public officials to shoulder the higher burden of proving defamation. Under that standard, an official would have to show either actual knowledge of its falsity or a reckless disregard of the truth. That standard was later extended to public figures.
Many critics are calling the “allegations” worthy of investigation. That is certainly protected. However, it is common to see people on television claim that she married her brother as a factual statement.
The publication of DNA results would disprove these allegations. (There are no allegations of an adopted status for the brother).
If such evidence exists, it would not just be conclusive but compelling for a jury. The question is why Omar has not elected to bring such a case, given the vast array of choices of potential defendants within the statute of limitations. It is a target-rich environment for a defamation lawyer.
As for the president, he has continued to raise the allegation: “If I married my sister to get my citizenship, do you think I’d last for about two hours or something less than that? She married her brother to get in. Therefore, she’s here illegally. She should get the hell out.”
However, he would not be a good target for such an action. The Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2680(h), expressly bars libel, slander, or defamation claims against the United States or a federal employee acting within the scope of their employment. It is possible to sue a government employee acting outside of the scope of their employment. However, the Westfall Act protects federal employees from personal lawsuits for torts committed within the scope of their employment and substitutes the U.S. government as the defendant under the FTCA. Since the FTCA bars liability, it works to force dismissal in cases.
Moreover, this is not just another federal employee. The President also has immunity under Article II and prevailing Supreme Court caselaw. In 1982, the Supreme Court handed down Nixon v. Fitzgerald, holding that former President Richard Nixon was immune from civil suits concerning actions within the “outer perimeter” of his official duties. In 1997, the Court ruled in Clinton v. Jones that President Bill Clinton was not immune from a civil suit filed by Paula Jones — who had accused Clinton of sexual harassment — because the case involved unofficial conduct on the part of the president.
This issue is still being litigated in the case of E. Jean Carroll, who won a significant civil award against the President in New York. The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit rejected the applicability of the 2024 Supreme Court ruling recognizing broad criminal immunity for former presidents as inapplicable to the civil case.
These are statements being made during a presidency and can be claimed as privileged and immune by President Trump.
The same cannot be said for a myriad of pundits and commentators who have stated this allegation as fact. Indeed, as if to drive home the point, today there is an article entitled “Yes, Ilhan Omar Married Her Brother.” You can’t get more clear than that and there is no statute of limitations problem or other legal barrier to a lawsuit. So why has not Omar sued anyone despite books and articles saying that she committed marital and immigration fraud?
In the end, such litigation would come down to truth as a defense. These critics are saying that Omar did marry her brother. Even if they did not have a good-faith basis for the assertion, proof that it was indeed true would still be a complete defense.
On the other hand, a defamation lawsuit could offer a dispositive judgment of a court on this lingering question. The question is now whether Rep. Omar will sue.
Speaking of fraud, perhaps we should look at Melania Trump’s own immigration fraud. She was modeling in NY before she had a work visa. There are missing records of when exactly was she working and when did she acquire a work visa. Maybe there should be fresh look at that and determine if the First Lady committed fraud. Her status as a citizen could be in question since naturalized citizens are being scrutinized with a fine tooth comb.
If Homan is using some no name “investigator” which seems more like an excuse to spread false rumors that have been going on for years without evidence. I guess the DOJ or DHS have not learned their lesson with all their fumbling and screw ups in court.
Mystery deepens as to why it took FBI nearly 5 years to finally bust the suspected J6 pipe bomber
https://nypost.com/2025/12/07/opinion/mystery-deepens-as-to-why-it-took-fbi-over-5-years-to-finally-bust-the-suspected-j6-pipe-bomber/
Because Trump accidentally pardoned him.
Proof of your dumb claim ANON?? Posting lies as usual BOZO!
This has been adressed before – If Cole was under indictment at the time the pardon was granted then he is covered.
He wasn’t.
The pardon does not cover people who were not charged with anything at the time the pardon was granted.
Upstate, I’ll bet Melania was the real bomber.
He’s autistic-like. By whom was the man child tricked into such a crime? Everyone knows a 16 year old couldn’t do that!
The dems are truly like 5th graders. 5th graders gone wild. Most tragic
Upstate – I think it will turn out that while they might prove intent, that the devices will turn out to have been entirely non-functional, copied from what are shown on TV. It might also have been easier if over 1000 people hadn’t also required investigation after attacking police and breaking into the Capitol building and doing damage inside of it.
The pardon included no time limit – the gating action is indictment. If he’s indicted he’a eligible for pardon under Trump’s executive order.
Yeah, but she’s an American, a “free white person.”
“Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That any Alien being a free white person…may be admitted to become a citizen thereof….”
X – she came to the US on a legal travel Visa in 1996.
Paolo Zampolli hired her and sponsored her immigration to the United States in 1996 and got her and H1B visa within weeks of her arriving.
She MAY have signed a modeling contract before the H1B Visa was issued – but it does not appear that she did the work until after the Visa was issued.
Regardless there was no fraud. She came to the US to work – the H1B request was filed BEFORE she left.
But anyone who is a citizen of the EU can get a 90 day travel visa to the US at a US embassy
The process is pretty much the same as anyone who comes to the US for a job.
The fraud is mainly for the EB1 that allowed Melania the fast-track to citizenship.
We get stuff like this all the time here – naked claims – no actual argument and no supporting evidence.
So how was there fraud related to Melania’s EB1, – you say there was but you do not explain it or support that claim.
Most here have gotten used to claims like that and learned they pretty much always are BS.
Poor george.
Still throwing the same junk at the wall. Hoping something will stick.
You failed again george.
Speaking of fraud, perhaps we should look at Melania Trump’s own immigration fraud.
Let’s speak about why George X lies like a Biden and then disappears into the Democrat Borg’s sewer before appearing again hours later or the next day. George hates her because she makes Big Mike Moochelle Obama look like a sack of potatoes in a dress. One with what looks like male junk pushing forward at the front of her/his/its dresses. The Democrats long ago gave up on fraudulently claiming she didn’t have a proper EB-1 visa.
Obama said he always wanted to be balled by a man before he met Big Mike. Perhaps he got his wish!

The whole diatribe against Omar is on the news only because Trump latched on to a new shiny object to distract his MAGA fans from the fact that they are still paying through the nose for everyday things. The economy is not improving, the DOJ is grossly incompetent. Kilmar Abrego Garcia is winning, Comey, and James are winning and his secretary of defense is killing innocent people because they are still a threat for clinging to debris from a boat.
Trump is griping that “affordability” is a hoax. That’s quite a thing for a billionaire to say. His own economic advisors are also billionaires. If they can afford everything it must mean everyone else can.
Homan is just acting tough and threatening Rep. Omar because she’s a foreigner who got elected to congress. We can’t have those kinds of dirty people sullying our hallowed halls of government can we?
‘Opposite Of What Happened Under Biden’: Steve Moore Shares What He Likes Most About New Jobs Report
“What I really liked about that jobs report, Larry, was the wage growth. I just don’t get the left’s obsession about affordability and a loss of buying power,” Moore told host Larry Kudlow.
Moore pointed to five consecutive months where wage growth ran ahead of inflation.
https://dailycaller.com/2025/11/20/steve-moore-jobs-report/
And, of course, Congress has no power to operate or regulate an enterprise, create jobs, enhance affordability, or otherwise manipulate any aspect, facet, or degree of free market commercial activity per Article 1, Section 8. Statistics and “job reports” are done by private firms operating in the private financial industry. You might familiarize yourself with the severe limits and restrictions placed on Congress, or government, by that portion of the Constitution. If it is done in America, it is to be done by private parties through private enterprise in private industries in the free markets of the private sector. You may have heard that America is the home of the free.
The Labor Department is irrefutably unconstitutional—Congress has no power to regulate so-called “labor,” whatever the —- that is—and the Employment Situation Summary produced by the Bureau of Labor Statistics as part of the Labor Department is similarly unconstitutional.
The whole —-ing thing is a massive and egregious violation of Article 1, Section 8.
The Omnipotent Juristocracy, as the Supreme Court, has “interpreted” the Constitution out of existence.
Of course there is wage growth… they added 40% more dollar supply during Covid… hence the inflation… without wage growth and low inflation for a very long time… the system will break.
How much did Obama’s quantitative easing add Einstein?
QE was bad – but the combined Trump Biden Covid Stimulus and other massive spending and the printng money to support it was far worse.
Considering Obama’s quantitative easing avoided a massive recession, it was worth it.
Upstate. If 99% of the workers see no wage growth and the top 1% ($1M and up in salary) see a 20% wage growth, then, on average everyone has wage growth. But people aren’t paid “on average,” they are paid what they are paid and if they aren’t paid more, then it isn’t growth.
What the report says:
“Real average hourly earnings for all employees were unchanged from August to September” and
“Real average weekly earnings decreased 0.1 percent over the month due to no change in real average
hourly earnings combined with no change in the average workweek. ”
While there have been some trivial gains, it looks like buying a coffee or having a physician co-pay will wipe that out for most people.

The high price of eggs, a popular reference, had nothing to do with President Biden and everything to do with a combination of profit taking by egg producers and some loss of the flocks to bird flu. No economic policy can deal with that.
Nice try george
There has been talk about her for years.
Hey every one, take a look at anonymous answer to george’s 12:39 post. Usually when someone puts him in his place he disappears for several hours and we can get some relief from his attempts to strike out like a wounded croc.
well, he is a crock I guess. Crock full of nuts,
Is that your compelling contribution to an edifying civil debate?
Somewhere in your family is an illegal; time to shut up and leave.
If you aint fromm the OG 13. youre the foreigner. Us real americans dont like you frauds in our country. Get out
In London there are an unusually high number of muslin babies being born with birth defects. First cousins marrying first cousins. You bring in third world, you get third world.
Sounds like exposure to radioactivity.
“The economy is not improving,”
The FED disagrees. Q4 growth 3.8% – Q4 projected 4%. 2025 Projected YTY growth 3%.
“the DOJ is grossly incompetent.”
That would be why Trump has a 98% record with SCOTUS ?
“Kilmar Abrego Garcia is winning,”
No he is headed to TN for his criminal trial. Judge Xinis just took her last meaningless opportunity to say something snarky.
In TN he will be out of her jurisdiction and it is unlikely we will hear from her again.
“Comey, and James are winning”
ROFL
“secretary of defense is killing innocent people”
Right – innocent people drive boatloads of Fentanyl at nearly 100MPH in initernational waters.
Polling has almost 80% of amercians supporting this.
“Homan is just acting tough and threatening Rep. Omar because she’s a foreigner who got elected to congress.”
No because she is linked to atleast 1B in fraud in MN.
She might be actually innocent – thus far the evidence against her is “guilt by association” – but it is an awful lot of association.
Regardless, lots of people are going down because of the Fraud in MN.
Omar may be one – we will have to see whether Omars links go beyond Lots of interactions with Fraudsters into actual conspiring with them.
“We can’t have those kinds of dirty people sullying our hallowed halls of government can we?”
The relevant questions are did Omar participate in the $1+B Somali fraud in MN, and did she marry her brother in order to conduct immigration fraud. Right now that is being investigated. Omar is entitled to the presumption of innocence in court.
So far the evidence known does not meet the beyond a reasonable doubt standard.
But it does meet the court of public opinion “stinks to high heaven” standard.
Regardless this is proving to be very bad for Somali communities accross the US – we are finding that only a tiny portion of recent Somali immigrants are gainfully employed. Most are living off govenrment benefits and large numbers were participating in Frauds.
Trump has allowed Somali TPS to expired and there will be lots of deportations.
John Say,
The economy, for the wealthy, is getting better. Better returns on stock purchases, more dividends, large salary increases.
For the lower and middle class? Nada. Nothing. It’s not getting better for them.
“Right – innocent people drive boatloads of Fentanyl at nearly 100MPH in initernational waters.”
Aside from an inability to spell words, you miss that there is no evidence it was fentanyl, a primarily Mexican sourced drug, rather than the active opposite, cocaine, a native product from Central America.
Unless the US adopts the death penalty for drug trafficking, and it has not, killing the drug traffickers is not allowed per US laws.
“The economy, for the wealthy, is getting better. Better returns on stock purchases, more dividends, large salary increases.
For the lower and middle class? Nada. Nothing. It’s not getting better for them.”
The Feds wage growth tracker has that at 4.1% through all of 2025 – that pretty much disproves your claim.
People working for a wage rather than investing are doing SLIGHTLY better than investors.
That is actually highly unusual.
That said ultimately it does not matter.
Do you give a schiff is Elon Musk’s net worth changed from $400B to $4T – if your standard of living doubles or tripples.
It is close to inevitable that in a free market investors will do better that wage earners – and that SHOULD be the case.
It is investment that causes the economy to grow.
If you make a living getting paid for your labor – your wages should NOT increase unless YOU become more productive.
If your wages increase without YOUR productivity increasing the same amount – your receiving charity from someone.
The primary driver of productivity is not workers improving their individual productivuity.
If you are doing a job – the same job over and over – it is likely you reach peak productivity quickly and improve very little after that.
Most productivity gains are the consequence of capital investments – automation, improved tools better machines, better quality control.
Nearly all of that is the result of Capital not labor.
Right now under Trump we are seeing SLIGHLTY more growth in wages than in the economy over all.
That means that investors are NOT being fully compensated for the benefits of their investment.
So the reality is the exact opposite of your claim.
“Aside from an inability to spell words,”
When you pay me for posting I MAY waste the time on spelling and gramar.
Until then I could care less about what you have to say about them.
“you miss that there is no evidence it was fentanyl”
Right – AGAIN you have seen the video of these boats – 3-4 huge outbords, top speeds of nearly 110mph.
Traveling in international waters miles from shore.
Yeah, their just innocent people engaged in water skiing. Right.
If DoD was killing innocent people out in the middle of the carribean in pleasure boats – after the FIRST boat was blown up – people would stop.
People do not fish from speed boats.
They do not water ski 15miles out into the ocean.
People do not risk being blown to smitherines as well as all the other dangers of traveling in an open boat in miles from sight of land for a little pleasure. They STOP.
Separately DoD has claimed they have Intelligence on the boats and their contents BEFORE they leave the docks.
They are surveiling the drugs as they travel in the country from the production facitilites to the docks get loaded into the boats and head out into the ocean.
“a primarily Mexican sourced drug”
The primary source for the precursors to Fentanyl is China. Those are shipped from china all over the world.
Including Mexico and Venezuela.
In fact if you wish you can order the precursors yourself from china and have them delivered to the US and start a Fentanyl lab in your house. The supplies are extremely cheap and the profits enormous.
But it is much harder to import that stuff in Bulk into the US.
Separately – is it going to change anything if it is just Cocaine ?
Most drugs enter the US from Mexico, but that does not mean they are all produced there.
The primary production of Fentanyl is Mexico. But it is not the only producers.
Cocaine which aslo comes primarily through mexico – is not produced in Mexico.
Mexico is working with the US to reduce Drug trafficing – while they could do better – Venezeuala is not cooperating at all
and worse still the MAduro regime is actively involved in and profits from Drug Trafficking.
“rather than the active opposite, cocaine, a native product from Central America.”
And that would change WHAT ? BTW nearly all cocaine enters the US from Mexico too.
“Unless the US adopts the death penalty for drug trafficking, and it has not, killing the drug traffickers is not allowed per US laws.”
US laws do not apply outside the US. Pretending they do is idiocy.
This is a stupid argument – presidents order people killed all the time.
Biden killed absolutely innocent people in Afghanistan with drones – aide workers delivering water.
Obama killed a US Citizen and his 15yr old son also a US citizen in Yemen.
Under Clinton Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden absolutely innocent people have been killed all over the world by order of the president as collateral damage for targeting alleged terrorists
Every single time the US millitary is actively involved in ANYTHING – they KILL PEOPLE – that is their job.
US Forces in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Nigeria – KILL PEOPLE – sometimes completely innocent people.
The economy, for the wealthy, is getting better… For the lower and middle class? Nada. Nothing. It’s not getting better for them.
The long winded communist Democrat version Anonymous Antifa/George X’s version of The Anti-Semitic Socialist Sisterhood’s war cry “The Evil Rich Don’t Pay We Commies Our Fair Share”.
Straight out of George X’s ignorant, moronic and sophomoric class warfare BS: “Nobody in the lower or middle class is doing any better. Because just where 401K retirement plans alone are concerned, nobody in either Marx’s lower or middle class has retirement plan that benefits from their plan’s stock purchases or dividends.
Those Democrat supporting unions and their Democrat workers don’t have the slightest problem with their pension plans engaging in stock purchases and funding from dividends.
Garcia is winning? Most likely not in God’s eyes, perhaps? He is meek on the otherhand.
“The whole diatribe . . .”
There’s your daily, slimy fallacy: ad hominem, psychologizing. Ignore the argument. Attack the person with mad speculations about his alleged motivations.
Your intellectual dishonesty pollutes this blog far more than does our morning drive-by-shooter.
The whole diatribe against Omar is on the news only because Trump…
Omar is in the news AGAIN and has George X lying AGAIN in deflecting defense because:
– Omar is the Boss Hog in a Democrat district where she represents Somalia and Somalian criminals, not America and Americans.
– Omar is in the news due to being implicated before, during and after the fact where her district’s Somalian illegal and legal Aliens stole over 1 BILLION from American taxpayers.
– Omar is in the news still because she was, just like Biden, either legally or illegally willingly engaged in incest, or committing massive immigration fraud.
George X is here Lyin’ Like A Biden because…. BBBBUUUTTTT…. MUH TRUMPPP!!!! I WANT JOE “INCEST” BIDEN BACKKKK!!!!!
Which is why George X normally only stops briefly to squat and defecate his filth – then swiftly runs for the hills before popping up later to discharge more feces from that extra anus in the middle of his face.
Omar’s mother died when she was 2.
Elmi is three years younger than Omar.
Do the math.
You never heard of a half sibling? You need to get out more.
The allegation is that Elmi is Omar’s BROTHER, not her HALF-brother. You need to masturbate to Trump pictures less.
ANON needs to GTH!!
SOUNDS MORE LIKE ANON DOES WITH TRUMPS PICTURES!! LOSER!!
The allegation is that Elmi is Omar’s BROTHER, not her HALF-brother.
You need to quit doing your Toobin displays here in defense of your lust for Biden Incest Power. Balling your daughter, brother, etc is generally considered sickening here in the civilized world.
Incest Statutes and Their Application
Incest statutes regulate prohibited familial relationships, including those involving half siblings. These laws, rooted in concerns about genetic risks and social taboos, vary significantly across jurisdictions. Generally, incest laws prevent marriages and sexual relationships between close relatives to address genetic implications and uphold societal norms.
Courts generally do not recognize these unions, and any subsequent legal rights or obligations—such as spousal support or property rights—are unenforceable. Marriages between half siblings can result in criminal and civil consequences. Criminal charges may include fines and imprisonment, reflecting the seriousness with which these laws are enforced.
Less of that infamous Bribery Biden incest porn is what you really need to have any hope of being a normal human being.
ATS – if only you were a credible reporter of ANYTHING
Why should we beleive something just because you type it ?
You are wrong so often.
Here is an interesting set of facts for consideration.
Trump’s father, Fred, was formally diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at age 86.
Family members have publicly stated that they had noticed his decline for a number of years starting in his late 70’s, but he refused to be tested for Alzheimer’s until he was 86.
People who are a first degree relative of someone with Alzheimer’s have a very high risk of developing the disease.
One of the best treatments for early signs of Alzheimer’s is Leqembi, which is administered by intravenous infusion.
This medication requires regular MRI scans to check for potentially severe side effects of brain swelling and hemorrhages.
Other side effects include increased susceptibility to bruising, as well as unusual tiredness and fatigue during the day.
Does any of this sound familiar ????????????
Social Justice Gone Wild: Oklahoma BLM Leader Indicted On Fraud, Money Laundering Charges

So Hunter Biden is in real trouble. Trump on the other hand shows no signs of dementia.
Not sure if you are trying to be funny or are just playing the fool
Hunter Biden has been Pardoned – to my knowledge he is in no trouble at all – unless he has done something new.
His big problem will be making a living now that his meal ticket is out of power.
Joe Biden clearly has some form of cognitive impairment and is also in physical decline.
It was a crime for left wing nut idiots to push him into office. He needs care.
Joe is mostly irrelvant now. He is unfit to stand trial no one is going after him for the fraud that he committed.
But those of you on the left are damned by your cover up of that Fraud.
Trump does not show signs of cognative impariment – he has had normal MOCA’s
He does not have Alzheimers – but even if he did – Alzheimers proceeds very slowly – he would maintain normal cognative functioning to the end of his presidency. If you want to claim Trump is in rapid cognative decline – you need evidence and you need a cause that actually moves quickly.
“Trump does not show signs of cognative impariment – he has had normal MOCA’s
He does not have Alzheimers – but even if he did – Alzheimers proceeds very slowly – he would maintain normal cognative functioning to the end of his presidency”
Seriously? Trump has been showing signs of cognitive decline for a while now. Just because you want ignore it doesn’t mean it is not happening.
Trump may even be experiencing mild dementia. He rarely makes sense when he goes on his usual rants on truth social or at his now rare rallies.
Biden has never been proven to have committed fraud or been bribed. Ever. That is just a fact.
Trump’s economy is getting worse and the only thing keeping it up is the AI bubble which won’t last long. His poll numbers are underwater even in red states.
X, you may not like Donald Trump. That’s Ok. But for a guy his age he’s doing pretty dam good. Every day he’s talking to the press, whether it’s on Air Force One or on the ground. Please, he’s an easy guy to dislike but not for those reasons.
“ Every day he’s talking to the press, whether it’s on Air Force One or on the ground. Please, he’s an easy guy to dislike but not for those reasons.”
Talking nonsense and ranting about things that have no relevance to the question.
He’s not doing good. He’s getting worse.
X – his poll numbers have risen 4pts in the last week.
Regardless the point that Trump appears MASSIVELY more than Biden, and is questioned MASSIVELY more than any other president – in fact he seems to love to take questions – even from hostile left wing nuts.
We have MASSIVE amounts of evidence of Trump’s cognative state.
Absolutely he occasionally says stupid things – every person on the planet does.
But there is ZERO evidence of any trend with respect to his remarks
Except possibly that left wing nuts hate him more than ever.
There’s guys in the park who can talk for hours to anyone who comes close. They make no more sense than Trump does, but at least they aren’t trying to cripple America.
Clearly you have not actually listened to Trump very much.
Wishful thinking from left wing nuts is NOT signs of Alzheimers.
Disagreement with left wing nuts is not signs of cognative imparement.
You can play video of Trump from 2015, or even from the 20th century – from the 1980’s.
He is no different then than now in his speech. Frankly he has been saying much the same things in the same way his entire life.
BTW you can not fool or fake or cheat on a MOCA test.
“Biden has never been proven to have committed fraud or been bribed.”
ROFL
That would be because he had the US govenrment hiding things – The FBI has found 3 different CHS’s and multiple reports confirming the “$5M for Joe $5M for Hunter” Burisma deal.
There is much much much more.
And unless you live under a rock you know that.
But keep lying.
No one is going after Joe because he is impotent, and incompetent.
He is not capable of defending himself.
Alzheimers which is likely what he has, proceeds slowly and takes a long time to kill you – but Biden is more than a decade into it.
He likely will die soon.
Even if he doesn’t it is unlikely he will remember who he is soon.
That is very sad.
Biden should have gone into care in 2020 or before – not the WH.
What YOU left wing nuts did to him was cruel.
What you did to the country was worse.
“Trump’s economy is getting worse and the only thing keeping it up is the AI bubble which won’t last long.”
False – you can get the subcomponent data from the FED too.
BTW another idiot tried to argue that it was all in investment – yet Wages are rising faster than GDP.
That BTW disproves BOTH your claim and theirs. AI is massivly capital intense. AI’s contribution to Wages is miniscule.
“His poll numbers are underwater even in red states.”
His polls numbers are higher than Obama’s at this point in his 2nd term, Higher than Bushes at this point in his 2nd term and higher than Bidens at this point in his first term. Pretty sure they are also higher than Bush and Obama at this point in their first term.
Rassmussen has Trump rising and at 47%.
There are also now TWO polls showing that Republicans lead on the Generic Ballot – those are still outliers, but the number of outliers is growing and the Democrat Generic Ballot Trend is eroding.
Seriously? Trump has been showing signs of cognitive decline for a while now.
Seriously: the only person whose mental facilities and degree of insanity is in question is yours, Mad King George X.
And you’ve never proven that your sole purpose here is something other than what it looks like: covering the lies, corruption, and felonies of Obama and Biden.
Ever. That is just a fact.
If Trump’s Alzheimer’s started today, it would be no big deal, but he’s been going off the deep end for a long time now, making wild statements and so on. He keeps wandering off into the weeds, sometimes unable to recognize that there is a limousine parked at the bottom of the stairs of Air Force 1 for him to directly enter, but off he toddles across the concrete apron as if to enter the terminal via the cargo dock.
What a self-attack – If Joe Biden was so stricken, how did he so easily defeat Trump? Don’t say “handlers” because Trump has even more money to hire even better handlers.
ATS – no one places any value in claims like Wild statements from idiots who bought he collusion delusion or any of the myriads of ACTUAL bogus left wing nut conspiracy theories of the past decade.
Few people care what YOU think is a “wild statement”.
“If Joe Biden was so stricken, how did he so easily defeat Trump?”
There is a Time Magazine article written by Democrats gloating over how they defeated Trump in 2020.
There are many parts to it – most are arguably illegal. They openly admit rigging election laws as an example.
But NOWHERE in that playbook was Biden going toe to toe on anything intellectual.
They debated – Trump had Covid during one debate – and had the media been honest – Trump wiped the floor with Biden anyway.
Biden lied over and over about his own corruption – and YOU allowed him to get away with it.
If you wish to celebrate Biden being the better liar – Go for it.
” Don’t say “handlers” because Trump has even more money to hire even better handlers.”
I did not say “handlers”. Regardless Trump was outspent by 50% in 2016. 2020, and 2024.
No Trump did NOT have more money.
He spent his money more wisely.
I would further note that Biden was already Behind Trump in the polls BEFORE the debate revealed that he was non-compis mentis.
I would further note that debate was only two years ago – No one was saying “oh My god Trump is a vegetable” after that debate.
Frankly the debate went even worse form Biden because Trump substantially softened his attacks.
He could see that Biden was coming apart in front of the world and that he did not need to do anything and that going in for the kill would be counter productive.
Trump was ahead before the debate – DESPITE all the lawfare against him (or possibly because of it).
Regardless we have had two head to head contests between Trump and Biden.
Biden lost the 2nd the same way he would have lost the first – Except that in the 2nd the press had a come to jesus moment and was just no longer able to credibly lie to the american people.
Anonymous at 3:07 you have been blabbering all night long. You started after midnight and haven’t stopped since.
= IF you are employed on a night shift, should you be fired?
\=If you are on your own time, why do you show up so late (EST) even after midnight (PST)==are you hoping people will read your rantings the next day before they are discovered and dismissed for their nonsense?
Yes, left wing nut have been making claims like this for a decade.
There is no such thing as an Alzheimers test. Short of an autopsy it can not be confirmed with certainty.
Trump has taken the MOCA on several occasions. If you have a score of 26 or above you have no cognative decline.
I beleive Trump’s last MOCA score was 31.
Even Assuming that Trump has Alzheimers – with a MOCA score of 31 he has YEARS before there will be a noticeable decline.
Anyone claiming signs of cognative imparament in a person with a MOCA score of 31 is just an idiot.
My guess is that If Biden was given a MOCA test today – he would get about a 16.
I would also bet that he has been given MOCA Tests and they have not been reported.
The MOCA is available on line – you can test yourself if you wish.
See if you can score a 16 – or anything above 26.
If you are so vile a creature as to Hope that Trump becomes demented – Alzheimers will not get you there.
The decline from Alzheimers takes decades. The rate of cognative decline is slow, and if Trump had early Alzheimers now- he would still have normal cognative abilities to the end of his presidency.
Rapid cognative decline is caused by things like Vascular Dimensia – basically the destruction of the brain by frequent min-strokes.
My father had that he went from a normal MOCA to half that score in 3 years.
Trump does not have that – it would be obvious.
Frankly despite your idiocy about people seeing cognative issues – Trump answers questions from the press nearly every day.
He often spends hours taking questions or on camera any patern of decline would be obvious.
Just as Biden’s decline was obvious every one of the few times they allowed him in public.
There were signs in Biden for more than a decade – Biden could not have gotten a normal MOCA score in 2015 – based on the tapes of his interview with his biographer.
MOCA does not dignose Alzheimers, it diagnoses Cognative imparement from any cause.
John Say, that is quite a lot of words to deny Trump is suffering from cognitive decline. If he’s fine why does he keep taking these tests? MRI’s, strange blotches on his hands, slurring speech, and inability to remember things, a LOT.
You must be suffering from the same problem democrats did when joe biden was in office. Denial. It’s hard to admit it but Trump is definitely not running on all 4 cylinders.
hey X, are ya gonna respond to AnonyMous to your 12:39 comment. SIlence is golden.
Falling asleep in meetings.
Yes, the big guy did doz off during meetings. That’s why he didn’t have many of them. Trump is answering media questions everyday. You may not like his answers, but he’s out there engaging the press everyday.
Trump used to be a sharp and nasty piece of work. All that remains is the nasty part.
“John Say, that is quite a lot of words to deny Trump is suffering from cognitive decline.”
X – have you stopped beating your wife ?
Really do not care about these idiotic arguments by you that merely by pointing out how incredibly stupid you are somehow that proves you right.
” If he’s fine why does he keep taking these tests? ”
He is having less than the normal amount of medical testing for a 79 year old.
“MRI’s, strange blotches on his hands, slurring speech, and inability to remember things, a LOT.”
Nope. First – why should anyone treat you as a credible source ? You have lied so much.
You have lied repeatedly today.
The 2025 economy is not doing as well as Trump promised.
But it is significantly better than the 21st century average.
It is absolutely an improving economy.
But here today you have repeatedly LIED about that.
Stupid lies.
Lies that were trivial to disprove.
That on top of YEARS of history lying stupidly here.
I would check to be sure if you said the sun rose this morning – you lie that much.
Trump is 79 – he is in incredible health for a 79 year old. He is probably in better health than most 69 year olds and many 59 year olds.
But he is still 79.
it is near certain tat he will have some ACTUAL health issues before the end of his term.
Just as it is near certain that I will – even though I am in excellent health.
But I am not 50 anymore.
I would expect that Trump’s doctors are testing the crap out of him. Just because he is 79.
“You must be suffering from the same problem democrats did when joe biden was in office.”
Nope.
As I said above – it is near certain that Trump will have some health issues before the end of his term.
It is even possible he will die. The odds are he wont. But those are not the odds of a healthy 50 year old.
He is not showing signs of Alzheimers – as desparate as you wish for that.
Further even if he was just starting to develop Alzheimers right now – he would have a MOCA score over 26 for the rest of his presidency – Alzheimers is slow. Biden has had it for atleast a decade.
There are other potential ways Trump could develop Cognative issues – there is zero evidence of any of those, and most – like vascular dimensia come VERY FAST – there is zero evidence of fast moving decline. in anything.
“Denial. It’s hard to admit it but Trump is definitely not running on all 4 cylinders.”
You said that in 2015. Trump has run rings arround you.
No he is not running on 4 cylinders – he is running on 12 or 16 while you are running on a lawnmower engine with poor compression.
Trump is doing far better in his 2nd term than his first. What that means is that he has LEARNED alot.
He has far better people. In his first term nearly all major accomplisments came from the WH – such as the Abraham accord.
This term every day there is something being done towards Trump’s agenda in a significant way in one agency or another.
There is far more being accomplished.
Trump is facing massive lawfare – but he has the people in place to deal with that and ultimately most of these cases will FAIL
So all they are is a delaying tactic
Based on John Say’s spelling skills, he’s batting a 28 on that test.
Nice try doc. Remember Prez Trump doesn’t drink either.
But his diet consists of fast food, and Diet Coke. When has that ever been a healthy diet?
Get a LIFE ANON!! TDS posts many times DAILY!!! ha ha ha ha ha
Since Bill Clinton was in the White House.
Leqembi is administered every two weeks for one and a half years.
Please provide evidence of Trump being treated every two weeks.
Show us where he was able to fit that in with his extremely heavy and diverse schedule.
Starting dosage of Leqembi is every two weeks; maintenance is every 4 weeks intravenous or every week subcutaneous. There need to be MRIs before the doses.
It may not be that – Trump seems unable to recall why he was in for medical imaging.
His heavy and diverse schedule is tied to a large amount of golfing. In November he golfed 9 days out of 30, missing only one weekend. I think he’s got time for a treatment.
you did not answer the question or the request. You substituted your dislike or hatred of trump to justify your slander.
little twit, you have no knowledge of his personal health or medicines other than that stated by his physicians.
Yes for BIDEN!!!
“Does any of this sound familiar ????????????”
YES it does.
Trump doesn’t just imagine he is President, like Joe Biden did.
Trump KNOWS he’s president, and means it.
Does any of this sound familiar ????????????
Sounds like The Oval Office House Plant’s expert mental health professionals and puppeteers should have been doing their homework… about twelve years ago.
But with all the drugs and kiddy fondling Bribery Biden brought to the White House… they were occupied with other fun and games instead.
Boy isn’t JT so smart and open. BS
He gives Ilhan Omar all sorts of leeway and then says, but gee, all she has to do is take a DNA test to prove her case and file litigation against all those who maligned her. No. BS. She can file a law suite if she pleases or not, up to her, not JT, or anyone else.
By running this this storry, JT is part of the disgusting group of peoplle that just love to malign those they disagree with. Shame on you JT, SHAME.
Glad you got all that poop out of your pants. It was really weighing you down.
I love headlines – “Trump posts 21 times in 7 minutes immediately after release of new Epstein photos”
Distraction much?
Poor Dementia Don. But look at the bright side. Now you, with an IQ of 60, can look up to someone and say that if a person that dumb can become president, so can I.

NATO Chief Rutte warns: “We need to be ready… Russia has brought war back to Europe, and we must be prepared for the scale of war our grandparents and great-grandparents endured.” pic.twitter.com/STEvo8y3Zr
— Disclose.tv (@disclosetv) December 11, 2025
We must be ready for war . . . and get behind the Americans . . .
I am sorry UF – but when this conflict ends there is going to be no consequential war involving Russia for a long time.
The damage to the Russian military, to its economy, and to its energy infrastructure is too great.
Further Russia has proven itself barely able to go beyond a stalemate with Ukraine with 1/5th the population.
Any two consequential NAT countries would obliterate Russia – any nation with a functional Airforce would Obliterate Russia in Combat.
I absolutely agree that Europe should take far more responsibility for their own defense.
They are more than capable of countering a Russian conventional threat without the aid of the US.
The US should remain in NATO – but we should substantially diminish our role in NATO and our funding.
Europe needs the US almost entirely to counter the Russian Nuclear threat – that is all.
John Say,
Oh, I am not saying there is going to be a WWIII. Only pointing out how the warmongers in the EU are trying to escalate this fearmongering. And, of course, expect America to shoulder the majority of the burden/losses. We are going on how many years of the UK/RU war and this is how far Russia has advanced? That is it? Yet these warmongers would have everyone believe the Russian army will march across all of the EU like a tidal wave. So I say, “No.” No American troops on the front lines. Let it be the EU countries shouldering the burden they got us into. We provide logistical support and reserves . . . which I am sure they would need as the cheese eating surrender monkeys retreat.
I do not care much about the EU.
I have argued repeatedly – that the EU is increasingly irrelevant to US interests.
I am not going to list everything here now – I have done that before.
If the EU really wanted Russia defeated – they could have sent troops to Ukraine
They did not.
I do beleive and expect that the EU is going to become more serious about its own military.
it is going to need to – the US role in Europe, the Mideast and AFrica is going to decline rapidly
Those parts of the world are just not important to the US any more.
More and more they will be europes problem.
I absolutely agree with you that the defense of Europe from Russian agression is primarly a European problem
it is also one they can already manage.
But Russia is NOT sweeping accross Europe.
They are not doing anything consequential for another decade atleast.
John Say, Russian demographics. When this war started there were 8 million young men between the ages of 20 and 30. One million have already been conscripted. One million have left the country so they won’t be involved in the war. At most that leaves them 6 million left. And in that 6 million a lot of them are not good candidates to be soldiers. This is Russias last war.
Agreed
Where the —- were NATO Chief Dastardly Idiot Rutte and the entire EU on February 24, 2022; they should have rolled that day.
if a person that dumb can become president, so can I . . .
You’re talking about Carmela. But she lost to the much smarter Donald Trump. And you are even stupider than Carmela, so no, you can’t.
“Quiet, Quiet PIggy” as he points his finger in the face of a female reporter.
Yep, takes real genious to act that way.
He put a rude reporter what was pushing her collegues arround in her place – quite effectively.
She had her question and follow up. It was not her turn any more. This was not an interview.
He previously said women let him grab them by the pussy and everyone was outraged that he said the quiet part out loud. Now if he does something else with his finger it’s a terrible insult to a female. It’s like one person gets a fly in their soup (or vice versa) and now everyone wants it.
“It Shattered My Life”: Former Joe Biden Staffer Tara Reade Says He Sexually Assaulted Her in 1993
“He had his hands underneath my clothes and it happened all at once,” Reade continued.
The reporterette should have been home cooking dinner and having babies…lots and lots of babies! What the —- is a country with no babies?
Anon, you missed the point of his pointed finger:
Did you sniff it? his finger
Isn’t trump the guy that went bankrupt running a casino? A casinno!
Give me a break, how dumb is that? The house always wins. Except if DJT is running the house. What an idiot, Went bankrupt running a casino! Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeesh.
Trump has fixed the border crisis, resolved eight wars, brought energy prices down, made progress in getting men out of women’s sports, and dismantled the government-social-media censorship complex. What do you offer? Men invading girls’ locker rooms and showers. 20 million unvetted illegal immigrants. Defund the police. No cash bail. Bidenflation. Close down LNG exports. Close down domestic energy production. Billions in “renewable” subsidies for Biden/Obama cronies, for money-losing energy projects. Government-social-media censorship complex. Ministry of Truth with Scary Poppins. Lawfare and two-tiered justice system. Embracing Islamic terrorists on college campuses. Botched Afghan pullout leaving 13 service members dead. Assassination chic culture. Trying to assassinate the nominee of the other party, twice. Destruction of once-great cities like San Francisco. But you care about “quiet piggy”? That’s your shiny object to try and distract from Trump’s successes? Pffffft, GFY, moron, we won’t be distracted by your garbage.
And the hits just keep on coming…
DJT in an interview with Politico…
“I want to run the United States. I don’t want to run Europe,” he said.
“I’m involved in Europe very much. NATO calls me daddy,”
Yep, Daddy trump
Sheeeeeeeeeeeesh
Yeah, and now NATO countries are now spending the money they were supposed to on defense rather then relying on us Americans to do all the fighting for them. Trump did that. He put his foot down and they got the message. Now, with the recent comments by the NATO chief in Berlin, “We need to be ready… Russia has brought war back to Europe, and we must be prepared for the scale of war our grandparents and great-grandparents endured.” about dang time! Just took a strong leader, Trump, to get them there. And if the UK, France, and Germany want to get us into WWIII, okay . . . American forces should provide logistical support and station troops in a reserve capacity. Let their sons and daughters lead the charge. It is their turf.
I do hope the KoolAide tastes good.
It is not KookAide when it is the truth.
Try again.
OldManFromKS,
It is a question of knowing what is actually important, and what is a deflection or distraction. If anyone actually watched the press conference, you clearly see that reported was hogging up time with questions and tried to take over the press conference. Yes, I would address her in the same way as she was disrespecting her peers. But the annoy moron tries to equate it with some kind of anti-woman slant whereas we all know Trump has been doing everything he can to protect women in sports, in locker rooms, in bathrooms.
You think this is the only dig against a woman? Get a life.
Wasn’t DJT found liable for sexual abuse of a woman? How much was he told to pay her?
How many reporters has he called ugly, stupid, or any number of other slurs?
Yea, DJT the stable genius that had to have 3, count them, 1, 2, 3, (you can count that high can’t you?) cognition tests. Ya think doctors are worried?
And yet she could not name the date or even the year Trump supposedly abused her. No police report. She wore a dress, posed with it on, on the front cover of a magazine she claimed she was wearing when Trump abused her. But that dress was not made until years after the alleged abuse.
Yeah, anyone with any degree of intelligence he is setting a base line of his “cognition” vs the previous WH admin, WH potted plant Biden, who needed cheat sheets to include pictures of the reporters who would be asking him questions. Trump has impromptu press conferences whereas Biden could not. Trump is establishing he is not the WH potted plant Biden was.
Get a life.
Plus a bunch of other casinos went bust. Funny you never say that.
How many bankruptcies has trump declared?
How many lawyers working for trump have lost their law license for the manner in which they tried to defend trump?
Strategic bankruptcies for effect, Einstein.
Lets stop, us real Americans from the original 13, we know the truth about trumpy.
“Us real Americans from” August 19, 1607, before “the original 13” were conceived, know the truth about endeavor, freedom, and self-reliance—the good, the bad, and the ugly—the enterprise, the dynamics, and the strategies.
I know that you are really unaware of how Development works but it is a high risk game. Being high risk, Developers often establish Limited Liability Corporations to conduct business for a particular project. Bank funding is through the LLC where often a member has to personally guarantee the loan. Bankruptcy in a losing project is a common practice and the Bank holds the tangible property regardless. Often the project may belly up, the infrastructure has been installed, the Contractor may or may not get paid but rest assured, the lawyers and the Bankers always get their money.
How many lawyers working for trump have lost their law license for the manner in which they tried to defend trump?
Disbarred for the crime of providing Trump with legal counsel. Democrat police state fascists inevitably say the quiet part out loud.
How many Obama and Biden lawyers who repeatedly perjured themselves in FISA courts were ever, to any extent, subjected to disciplinary action from the same bar associations who disbarred Trump lawyers for daring to provide him with legal counsel?
Lots of casinos have gone BK.
OldManFromKS,
Well said. Harris blew what? $1.5 billion, BILLION, in about three months and still lost. Just like H. Clinton, no amount of spin, no amount of biased MSM coverage, even resorting to a fake Beyonce concert to get people to show up to a campaign rally, she just was not relatable, likable and electable to the general public.
Unburdened Word Salad Harris knows how to advance in her career—just axe Brotha Brown Willie (typo).
So far, Trump has only beaten two women.
And Kameltoe was so much smarter than Potato Joe.
You do love beating a dead horse. A real sign of stupidity.
The low estimates of Trump’s IQ are arround 135. It is likely his IQ is higher than that.
No one succeeds as frequently as he does without a very high IQ.
failing upwards is very common. never had a dumb boss? and if you didn’t hate to tell you, but it might have been you
“failing upwards is very common.”
In government – absolutely.
In middle management – undeniably.
In Business owners – NO AT ALL
“never had a dumb boss? and if you didn’t hate to tell you, but it might have been you”
Lots of people hate their bosses, lots more think they are smarter than their bosses.
If you were – you would be the boss.
Not even slightly interested in what you have to say about Prior bosses.
Business owner’s do fail up. Nor do they survive long if they are not smart.
“Likely”? What BS. You have no idea what Trump’s IQ is. Nobody does.
Trump’s success has nothing to do with IQ. He’s also a narcissistic manipulator with plenty of help. Having millions inherited and given to him by his father allowed him to buy smart people. He doesn’t do the hard work. He takes credit for the hard work of others.
“What BS. You have no idea what Trump’s IQ is. Nobody does.”
Of course they do – one of the strongest correletations of any human attribute that we have is between IQ and success.
While all smart people do not succeed. All successful people are smart.
People who succeed multiple times are incredibly smart.
Absolutely you can accurately guage IQ from success.
“Trump’s success has nothing to do with IQ.”
Of course it does.
That is the strongest correlation we have in human attributes.
“He’s also a narcissistic manipulator”
I am not sure that is true – but it is true that a larger than normal percent of successful people are narciscists and sociopaths.
There are also stupid narcists and sociopaths. There is not a very strong correlation between narciscims and success.
There is a strong correlation between IQ and success.
“Having millions inherited and given to him by his father allowed him to buy smart people.”
Starting with money gives you a leg up – but there are large numbers of people with even more inherited wealth that Trump that have failed miserably. In fact the 2nd generation success of Trump is what is very rare. 2nd generations nearly always underperform the first.
Yes wealthy people can hire smart people but just knowing which smart people to hire – requires a great deal of intelligence.
There are not many (none) successful people with an IQ of 100 who succeeded by hiring smart people.
” He doesn’t do the hard work.”
If you tried to keep up with him for a month – you would be dead.
“He takes credit for the hard work of others.”
He does – he is the boss – that is how that works.
But he also gives them alot of credit too.
Regardless – hard work is important – people do not succeed without hard work – but intelligence is more important for success.
All of this is well known., This is one of the most will studied and measured areas of psychology that there is.
OT, Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado is crediting President Donald Trump for helping sustain Venezuela’s pro-democracy movement while dedicating her Nobel Peace Prize to him.
“I am absolutely grateful to President Trump for every gesture, every signal and every moment that he has stood with the Venezuelan people. I have watched it very closely, and I know what it has meant for those who are fighting to reclaim democracy and freedom in our country,” she stated.
This will lead to TDS sufferers breaking down in sobs and being committed to psychiatric institutions. Because how can Trump be pro-democracy when he is a threat to “our democracy” — unless “our democracy” is leftist code for “our effort to establish a socialist dictatorship here in America.” Yes, Trump is indeed a threat to tyrants and dictators, especially in America.
“Our democracy” stands in stark contrast to the American system envisioned by Ben Franklin and the Founders—a system they described as ‘a republic, if you can keep it.’ That republic was anchored in the Constitution and in the long-standing principle of self-governance dating back to Greece: a restricted and clearly defined electorate.”
oldman
This is nothing more than a case of the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Nothing more, nothing less.
It means absolutely nothing.
Machado was on the run and in hiding from an arrest warrant. She acknowledged that the US helped in her escape by flying fighters as air cover along the path of her boat journey from Venezuela to Curacao.
What would you expect her to say under the circumstances.
It means nothing.
Thanks for providing Exhibit A in support of my comment. Here we have living proof that TDS sufferers are psychotic, totally deluded, totally detached from reality. Maduro is a Stalinesque dictator who is only in power because he fraudulently claimed to have won elections that he lost badly. He therefore silenced the voice of the people, a course of action that would be opposed by any person who truly supported the democratic process, bud is endorsed by American progressives like Sean Penn. But now, the TDS addled brain credits an arrest warrant from the someone who is similar to Stalin or Hitler. The garbage commenter always comments anonymously, but of course. And the TDS sufferer downplays the full meaning and intent of what the Nobel Peace Prize winner actually said (which the TDS sufferer did not even bother to read). This is the kind of garbage comment you get from psychotic people whose sole reason for living is to hate Trump. And as noted, they always post their garbage comments anonymously.
OldManFromKS,
I am an acquaintance of a guy who lives in Venezuela. You summed it up quite well.
ATS – Honestly you trust anything from the Maduro government ?
Of Course Machado was on the run and in hiding from an arrest warrant.
Maduro jails anyone who opposes him.
During the election she was moving trough the country hiding from the Maduro government that would have arressted her just for running against him – and did arrest others.
Once again “Socialism” fails everywhere it is tried – and fails the most where it is tried the most.
Yes Machado was helped by Trump. And absolutely that is a reason for her to express gratitude.
It was GOOD thing for Trump to help Machado, and Machado responded with decency by crediting Trump
Credit that he earned.
It is likely that Machado will return to Venezuela soon enough.
We are likely witnessing the last days of Maduro.
That is good for the US, it is Good for the Venezuellan people, it is good for the world.
Venezuella can rebuild. Before Chavez it had the highest standard of living in south america.
Trump has often said we should not be accepting refugees from $hithole countries.
Today he is seeking to end a failed regime that has resorted to narco terrorism and driven the best of its own people out.
We can hope that Venezuella will soon cease being a $hithole country.
That it will be a place that Venezuellan immigrants want to return to.
That it will return to being a productive and prosperous country.
It is likely that Machado will be the leader that replaces Maduro.
We will have to see how that goes – often the freedom fighters who challenge tyranical socialist prove not to be the best people to govern after. Maybe that will not be true. Regardless that is up to the Venezuellan people once they are rid of Maduro.
“ Maduro jails anyone who opposes him.”
So does Kim Jung Un, and Putin. Trump is really chummy with them and admires their ability to jail their political enemies. Just like Trump wants to do here. He opposes Maduro because he has access to a vast reserve of oil.
Once again X proves his ignorance of reality.
I appreciate the generally reasonable perspective of Professor Turley, and I am also happy to see less blind defense of the sadly corrupted MAGA movement over the last week.
Nobody NEEDS to sue to maintain their innocence any more than they need to participate in a duel to preserve their honor.
You are legally correct. Refusing to sue is not the basis for a warrant for her DNA.
But it has raised question – News outlets all over the globe have reported this – If false, Omar has billions in defamation lawsuits that she could file.
The failure to do so – is not proof of guilt in a court of law – but it does not play well in the court of public opinion.
Nobody NEEDS to sue to maintain their innocence any more than they need to participate in a duel to preserve their honor.
When your word and your reputation in your work, or in a business (although you communist Democrats have little experience in that role) is worth absolutely nothing, and people see your presence as the same as having dog shyte on their boots… no, you would have no reputation worth defending.
Defend it or not, your reputation and your word would still remain worth absolutely nothing, and you would still be held in contempt as a nothing if you sued.
Much less back in the day of having to grow a set of stones to be ready to stand behind the weapon of your choice to defend with your life the lies that are your stock in trade.
You’d be a no show there as well – when your word and reputation are worth nothing, why risk the only thing you would have left: your almost as worthless life.
Holman will have no trouble investigating. Her fraud has been exhaustively investigated, documented, and detailed in at least three books and numerous articles and blogs from both sides of the Atlantic. The only people unaware of it, apparently, are those who rely on mainstream media for their news consumption. Professor, that apparently includes you. Any one of these sources could be sued by Omar, in theory, yet she has taken no action other than to call them bigots and pretend to victimhood. Irrefutable evidence of perjury, tax & immigration fraud lie right on the surface. That doesn’t mean she’ll be prosecuted. In fact, she’ll probably be re-elected. The Democrats’ bar for moral turpitude is set very low indeed.
If she truly married her brother she would be criminally liable for prosecution under Minnesota incest laws, for which there is a 9 year statute of limitation (I checked). They were divorced in 2017. Any defense would require that she establish that she had sexual relations beyond the 9 year statute of limitations, that they never had sexual relations, or that her spouse was not her brother. Such a court case would make for great pay per view TV, the proceeds of which could then be dedicated to Minnesota taxpayers in part to recover some of what was recently identified as massive Medicaid fraud.
Immigration fraud is one of the extremely few things that can result in revoking your citizenship, and there is no statute of limitations on that.
We have deported people who claimed they were not Nazi’s 60 years after they entered the US.
Melania Trump is a good target. She worked without a work visa when she came to the U.S.
She could also be stripped of her citizenship and be deported.
“She could also be stripped of her citizenship and be deported.”
She can be stripped and sent to my house anytime!
The American Founders never intended for the likes of Ilhan Omar to be admitted to become a citizen—she/he/they should not be here and wouldn’t be if it weren’t for the treasonous acts of a tyrannical anti-American dictator and fellow traveler of Karl Marx who unconstitutionally imposed martial law and then some.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That any Alien being a free white person, who shall have resided within the limits and under the jurisdiction of the United States for the term of two years, may be admitted to become a citizen thereof….
he/he/they should not be here and wouldn’t be if it weren’t for the treasonous acts of a tyrannical anti-American dictator and fellow traveler of Karl Marx who unconstitutionally imposed martial law and then some.
Confederate Kluxxer George has put his white robed Anonymous persona on to wail that The Unconstitutional Confederate Insurrection was lost and their Darkies are no longer their farm animals.
SCOTUS resolved the Confederate Kluxxer lies when they came bagging as defeated treasonous insurrectionist states. And Chief Justice Renquist slapped down Commie George’s complaints in a lengthy book published about 30 years ago.
George lives in a Confederate world where American law hasn’t changed since 1802 (including further versions of immigration and citizenship law in 1952, 1965, etc).
But then, George/X/Confederate Anonymous are pathetic losers – and that’s just the way they are.
OT
Jasmine Crockett/Snoop Doggy Dog 2028!
In about 5 minutes X, George Costanza aka Mr Opposite, will come here and tell us that marrying your brother to get him into America is a noble and good thing and that Turley and anyone else is wrong to criticize Omar. Or he will claim, without an ounce of proof or evidence or even common sense, that Omar did not marry her brother and anyone that says she did is a fascist.
Or accuse the good professor of racism. The other day when I pointed out how incompetent Justice Jackson is, X reacted by saying that I was racist, even though my comment had nothing to do with race.
OldManFromKS,
I did note that.
Thanks, Upstate, I’m glad someone’s paying attention.
Hullbobby, are you opposed to opposing views? Shocking. There are legitimate counters to Professor Turley’s article. It’s not hard to point out the gratuitous insinuations. What Turley calls “critics” he really means crazy conspiracy theorists. The same racist nut jobs who pushed the Obama is from Kenya BS or the demands for his “real” birth certificate.
The accusations of Omar marrying her brother is just another racist trope from the 4chan and Proud boys type of crowds.
Hurling accusations of fraud by ICE? Turley didn’t bother to mention the disastrous record DHS and DOJ when it comes to accusations of fraud. This is just another case of vindictive prosecution. Trump has been losing these cases in spectacular fashion. Even Kilmar Abrego Garcia successfully argued his case as vindictive prosecution. He was just released yesterday.
AG Letitia James fraud case was dismissed after the third attempt at indictment failed. Turley remains strangely silent about the bad look on the DOJ.
These other facts point out Turley’s article makes a weak argument and seems to rely on innuendo rather than real facts.
X- You seem to not understand basic legal knowledge and BASIC facts regarding litigation, yet why do you throw out these vindictive falsehoods every single day? I fail to see how you have lost such basic reading skills and seem unable to understand two different cases.
This is what you/X said above: “Even Kilmar Abrego Garcia successfully argued his case as vindictive prosecution. He was just released yesterday. ”
NO GEORGE/X, Garcia DID NOT successfully argue any such thing, Indeed, George, the claim of vindictive prosecution has NOTHING to do with his release.
two different judges, george. two different cases.
X you are so eager to slander Turley and some of us that you can’t even get basic facts straight.
The “vindictive prosecution” allegation is pending in Tennessee. That judge (Crenshaw) canceled the hearing on the vindictive prosecution claim after DOJ presented the judge with this:
https://tennesseestar.com/news/judge-cancels-vindictive-prosecution-hearing-for-abrego-garcia-as-defense-stipulates-to-clients-phone-numbers-cited-in-minor-solicitation-claims/tpappert/2025/12/05/
And THAT case (still pending) has NOTHNG TO DO WITH HIS “RELEASE.”
Garcia was released by a different judge in Maryland-
DOJ filed a request on Wednesday (two days ago) for him to be released so that he could appear in Tennessee. So the Maryland Judge (Xinis) released him the very next day (yesterday) but changed the reason to a DOJ failure to provide a legal basis to expel Abrego Garcia from the country.
More game playing, I’m sad to say.
Both judges were appointed by Obama.
PLEEEEE get it together george aNd stop bombarding this blog with retaliatory nonsense.
That’s cute. You actually did some research. However, we all know how DHS is not credible. They have been lying to judges for too long now. The evidence showing DHS and the DOJ’s incompetence is overwhelming. Kilmar’s case will eventually be dismissed.
No it’s not cute george. It is a serious look at your credibility.
“You actually did some research.”
Because you ALWAYS misrepresent anything you claim.
” However, we all know how DHS is not credible.”
Who knows that 750K people have been deported this year so far.
That is alot of judges who beleive DHS.
How many cases have illegal immigrants actually won in court ? Not tactical delays – but actual wins.
That would be ZERO.
DHS is doing pretty good – you however and the left wing nut judges you fawn over are losing 50% of direct appeals and nearly 100% infront of the supreme court.
“They have been lying to judges for too long now.”
So far it is the Judges who keep getting caught lying.
“The evidence showing DHS and the DOJ’s incompetence is overwhelming.”
Then you could present that evidence – in THIS case you got nearly everything wrong.
“Kilmar’s case will eventually be dismissed.”
ROFL.
Lets address some FACTS.
Garcia came to the US illegally in 2010. That is a fact – one he has admitted under oath.
That is pretty much the end of this. Alone it means there is nothing to stop his deportation.
In FACT he WAS already deported and illegally returned.
That allows ICE to pick him up and deport him nearly immediately.
The ONLY due process he is entitled to is Habeaus and the only habeaus claim he is permitted to make is
“I am NOT that Garcia” – only there are fingerprints and DNA.
It is a FACT that prince goerges county MD police testified that Garcia was not merely an MS13 gang banger, but that he was a gang leader. You can despute the claim – but it was made under oath in a legal proceeding that Garcia lost and then fail to appeal
So legally – the finding that Garcia is an MS13 Gang Leader is a matter of legal record that even a friendly judge can not challenge.
Next Garcia was ordered to be deported under Biden – But The court found that it was unsafe to return him to Guatemala,
So he can not be depoerted to Guatamala – yet you left wing nuts claimed his deportation to El Salvador was barred – and I am pretty sure it was Judge Xinis who improperly ruled that his deportation to el salvador was prohibited – but there is no order that he can not be deported to el salvador.
The Biden admin which could have deported him anywhere except Guatamala sat on their hands.
Next Garcia was caught in TN in a car owned by another convicted MS13 gang banger, without a drivers license transporting I beleive it was 7 illegal immigrants, I provided you with ONE of the laws being violated there – he can get 10 years for EACH illegal immigrant in the car. That is a max sentence of 70 years.
And this sleezebag you are defending has a complaint of spousal abuse filed by his wife.
So what is it that you think is going to get dismissed ?
Judge Xinis is playing games.
BTW why is the prosecution of Garcia any more “vindictive” than the deportation of 750K illegals.
Xiis never had proper jurisdiction – SCOTUS said exactly that in several recent cases but not specifically in the Garcia case.
DOJ expected idiot judges like Xinis and Boasberg to drop their cases when SCOTUS said they have no jurisdiction,
But both Judges are trying to play legal games.
I am guessing Guinesses order is one last spiteful remark as Xinis likely loses control of GArgia entirely as he heads for TN.
The moment he leave MD he is now completely out of Xinis’s jurisdiction.
He can be deported immediately.
He can be tried and deported.
He can be Tried convicted and inprisoned and then deported.
No one here has said that you can not post stupid comments.
Your “opposing views” are welcome.
But your idea of free speech is lunatic.
Yesterday you were defending chilling free speech and claiming that free speech can be censored if it is not “Civil”
which is false. There are few very narrow basis for criminalizing or censoring speech – civility is not one of those.
And you made the lunatic claim that ALL restrictions that are time plance and manner restrictions were acceptable – that is FALSE.
Time place and manner restrictions that result in viewpoint discrimination are violations of the first amendment.
The first amendment does not protect uncontroversial or polite speech – those need no protection.
It protects offensive and inflamatory speech.
Speech like yours. Also speech like that you seek to supress.
“There are legitimate counters to Professor Turley’s article.”
Not really, but you are free to try.
“It’s not hard to point out the gratuitous insinuations.”
incorrect and irrelevant.
“What Turley calls “critics” he really means crazy conspiracy theorists. The same racist nut jobs who pushed the Obama is from Kenya BS or the demands for his “real” birth certificate.”
More fallacious garbage.
This is not an argument.
“The accusations of Omar marrying her brother is just another racist trope from the 4chan and Proud boys type of crowds.”
It is irrelevant where they are from, what matters is whether they are true.
We already know that Omar is a fraud. It is not much of a step to this fraud.
“Hurling accusations of fraud by ICE?”
And many others.
“Turley didn’t bother to mention the disastrous record DHS and DOJ when it comes to accusations of fraud. This is just another case of vindictive prosecution. Trump has been losing these cases in spectacular fashion. Even Kilmar Abrego Garcia successfully argued his case as vindictive prosecution. He was just released yesterday.”
You are constantly citing examples that Prove how corrupt
Garcia was released by Judge Xinis – who has been repeatedly overturned before and who has no juridiction.
Garcia faces charges in Tennesee – over which Xinis has no jurisdiction.
Further Xinis was detained in TX – again where Xinis has no jurisdiction.
SCOTUS quite recently ruled that the only appeal right for a deportation order is a habeuas petition where the standard is “I am not the person being accused”.
There is ZERO doubt that Garcia is the person that multiple deportation orders have been issued against.
Further the criminal case against Garcia in TN remains in effect.
DOJ will appeal Xinis and win AGAIN – Xinis does not have jurisdiction.
There is no such thing as vindictive prosecution with respect to deportation.
Either you are here legally or you are not.
Garcia is not in the US legally.
He entered illegally in 2010.
He admitted he did and was deported.
He returned and was caught.
Once you have been deported once you can be IMMEDIATELY deported if you are caught in the US again.
Garcia successfully argued that it was too dangerous for him to be deported back to Guatemala, and the court ordered that he NOT be deported to Guatemala. Trump deported him to El Salvador.
In the face of an illegal order to return him and a Supreme Court decision that was favorable to Trump but not crystal clear, the US decided to drag him back to face charges in TN and to attempt to deport him in a way that would be beyond question.
Xinis again intervened without jurisdiction – and will with near certainty be told – this is not his case.
Regardless, Garcia will likely be convicted as a human trafficker in TN, and be jailed and then deported or just deported.
All you left wing nuts are doing is wasting massive amounts of time and energy on something that you will lose inevitably on a person who is clearly a criminal.
John Say,
“ Yesterday you were defending chilling free speech and claiming that free speech can be censored if it is not “Civil””
Wrong again. You seem to have the same reading comprehension issues some in the blog suffer from.
Nobody was chilling anything. Reminding school board members that there are laws and rules they are bound to observe as public officials is not chilling free speech. The AG of Texas does it all the time with their ‘warnings’ to school boards about discussing DEI issues.
Telling them to refrain from using inflammatory or derisive statements is not chilling speech. Reminding them that violating student privacy policies IS grounds for removal.
“ There is no such thing as vindictive prosecution with respect to deportation.”
It is when they keep changing their reasons and refusing to even accept Garcia’s deal to be deported to Costa Rica. DHS has made such a mess that it is not likely they will succeed.
“ We already know that Omar is a fraud. It is not much of a step to this fraud.”
“We”? John you don’t know squat. You have zero proof. Accusations are not evidence.
“ What Turley calls “critics” he really means crazy conspiracy theorists. The same racist nut jobs who pushed the Obama is from Kenya BS or the demands for his “real” birth certificate.”
More fallacious garbage.
This is not an argument.”
It’s an inconvenient fact.
“ And you made the lunatic claim that ALL restrictions that are time plance and manner restrictions were acceptable – that is FALSE.
Time place and manner restrictions that result in viewpoint discrimination are violations of the first amendment.”
Nope. I didn’t say ALL. You did. SCOTUS made it a point that speech can be restricted or limited. By time, place, and manner as long as it’s the least restrictive method of all three. You don’t like that it is allowed.
Nope and yup. Another thing georgie picked up from others on this blog. So is diatribe, georgie.
Please look up 8, U.S.C. 1324(a)
Transporting illegal aliens in the US can result in a sentence of up to 10 years for each person transported.
Garcia was caught in a car in TB with I beleive 7 Illegal Aliens.
There is even body cam video. As I recall Garcia did not even have a valid drivers license
“ Garcia was caught in a car in TB with I beleive 7 Illegal Aliens.”
And he was let go. You didn’t know that? The cop let him go. Besides that charge wont fly. Because it was issued after he challenged his deportation and succeeded when DHS was forced to bring him back.
“Letitia James fraud case was dismissed after the third attempt at indictment failed. ”

X it is a real fact that news outlets accross the world have alleged that Omar married her brother to get him into the US.
It is a real fact that Omar has not filed a defamation claim against any of them.
It is a correct matter of law that if the reported claims were false Myriads of news sources have committed Per Se defamation of Omar and the awards would be staggering.
That is not proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
It is probably not sufficient proof to get a warrant for DNA samples, but it is far beyond inuendo.
Homan has opened an investigation – and the facts are sufficient to do so.
Given the mess involving the Somali community in MN and Omar’s extensive ties to all of those we KNOW are guilty of Billions of Fraud in MN, and that she has received campaign contributions from these fraudsters and publicly defended them – it is not much of a stretch to conclude that Omar herself is a fraudster.
Frankly it appears likely that lots of politicians and public officials are going to get indicted over this fraud in MN.
Whether that includes Walz and Omar remains to be seen, but there is no doubt that both are going to be deservedly investigated as at the very best they are innocent patsies.
That is not a really good resume item for a politician.
John Say,
“ X it is a real fact that news outlets accross the world have alleged that Omar married her brother to get him into the US.”
Alleged, meaning they are just repeating unfounded allegations and rumors spread by conspiracy theorists. None of what you stated is evidence. It’s just innuendo and rumors.
‘As I have previously noted, the election of a young immigrant to Congress is genuinely remarkable and commendable.’
Seriously, and certainly no offense intended to anyone, but – what are generational Democrat blinders made out of? Sure. She’s just a young upstart that appeared from out of thin air, well-funded, and at a very convenient time, and then ascended without any discernible effort to speak of. Really? Pfft. And AOC is just a poor Latina from The Bronx with big dreams. And Kamala was ‘the people’s’ choice.
This is just getting silly, and Omar is about as remarkable as water being wet, regardless of this particular issue. 🙄🙄 Open your eyes, folks – you’re being scammed, and you accept it with gusto.
Youre brilliant you should run. Its so easy. Go forth and conquer.
OT, does the Judicial Branch interpret or declare the law? Both. It interprets the words on paper first, then declares the meaning of the law as ascertained through that interpretive exercise. Today, people rarely learn about the declaration part, and yet, the most famous statement of judicial review is:
It is emphatically the province and duty of the judicial department to say what the law is.
That statement comes from Chief Justice Marshall in the landmark case of Marbury v. Madison. But pay attention to the wording: . . . to say what the law is. Saying what the law is, is declaring. It is simply assumed that before the “judicial department” says what the law is, it first interpreted the words on paper. People back then were sufficiently educated to know that, but today, not so much, it seems.
I recently pointed all this out, and then X, who apparently did not read my entire comment, told me I was an idiot for not recognizing that judges have to interpret in order to declare. But that’s precisely what I said. X did not read my full comment, which consisted of like two sentences. X read the first sentence, then immediately reacted to tell me I was an idiot for not recognizing precisely what I actually did say in the second sentence. WTF?
P.S. – if you’re one of those zany commenters who says the Constitution does not authorize the Judicial Branch to interpret, please don’t respond to this. You haven’t thought it through. Just give this one a rest. Thanks in advance.
OldManFromKS,
Thank you for clarifying that with a cited case. Very interesting.
We all learned that case in high school.
“We all” evidently does not include X. X told me I was full of sh!t for saying the judiciary declares the law. But as usual, I was right and X was wrong.
OldManFromKS,
“But as usual, I was right and X was wrong.”
Right!
One would think if the slow and dumb one had an ounce of common sense, he would know better than going up against people with real critical thinking skills, who are actual lawyers with real world experience. Alas, he is not that bright.
Upstate – and X will never admit error. X posts falsehoods all day long, but when caught red handed and shown his error, X just moves on, never says another word, just ignores it.
The same was for the bot formerly known as Dennis McInliar. The bot misinterpreted something the good professor said, and I showed the bot where it went wrong, but the bot refused to acknowledge it even though it was right there in black and white.
As conservatives, our particular curse is that we lack worthy adversaries. We have plenty of worthy allies, but a worthy adversary is just as valuable if not more so, but I have seen no evidence on this comment board that they exist.
OldManFromKS,
Ah, yes. I have noted the times I read your responses to the slow and dumb one, how when proven wrong, he just ignores it or disappears. Sometimes for days. Somewhat surprised he had the guts to show up today after you owned him yesterday.
Dennis, the self-proclaimed genius who got nearly everything wrong. Fani would spank Trump’s fanny and have him in a orange jumpsuit before summer ended. And now over a year after the election, Trump is in the Oval Office, again. At least he had the self-respect to go away as he knew his credibility was ruined. The slow and dumb one, he lacks that kind of self-respect and even self-awareness to even acknowledge when he is wrong. Or lying.
That is why I generally just scroll past the slow and dumb one. He is not a worthy adversary. He is not worthy of even reading his comments. Just scroll past.
Here’s a book about that case: https://www.amazon.com/Great-Decision-Jefferson-Marshall-Supreme/dp/1586488058
An interesting background detail is that John Marshall was in all three branches of government during 1800-01, possibly at the same time. Back then Congress wasn’t in session most of the time and it isn’t clear that he resigned as a U. S. Representative or as Secretary of State before being confirmed as Chief Justice one month before Jefferson took office.
Oldmanfromkansas, you are full of sh!t. Parsing semantics to save face coming from you was hilarious.
A refresher overview is likely beneficial in your case.
The Supreme Court has “interpreted” the right to keep and bear arms almost out of existence; it has been “infringed” nearly to death—try obtaining a gun you want in California when the Framers created it absolute and without qualification.
The Supreme Court has “interpreted” the freedom of speech into substantial abridgement when the Framers created it as absolute and without qualification.
AI Overview
Speech in America is abridged not by outright bans on ideas, but through established legal categories of unprotected speech (like incitement, defamation, obscenity, true threats), time/place/manner restrictions, and limitations on government/student/employee speech, all while balancing robust public debate with public safety, though modern debates often involve cultural/social pressures and digital platforms challenging these boundaries.
The judicial branch has the power to judge, not interpret; it has the power to ensure that actions comport with law, not change law to suit its political agenda.
“Interpret” means capricious and arbitrary modification to the Supreme Court, which has “interpreted” the 1st and 2nd Amendments et al. nearly out of existence—speech has been abridged, and the right to keep arms has been infringed. Then there is the Brandeis Effect.
“BALANCING PRIVATE RIGHTS WITH PUBLIC WELFARE.”
– The Judicial Branch
________________________
The singular American failure is the judicial branch, with emphasis on the Supreme Court.
Rights and freedoms are absolute in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
They are not qualified and are absolute; they are the possessions of American citizens.
The courts have illicitly and antithetically insisted that they have the power to “interpret” law; “interpret” does not exist in the Constitution.
Change is inherent in “interpret,” and the judicial branch has no power to legislate, modify, amend, or modify by “interpretation” fundamental or statutory law.
In the early 20th century, communist justices began “interpreting” private rights, such as the absolute right to private property, to no longer be absolute.
From that point, the Constitution was incrementally nullified by the judicial branch.
The severe limitations and restrictions on government in the enumerated powers in Article 1, Section 8, and the absolute 5th Amendment right to private property have been deeply eroded if not completely destroyed.
The communist American welfare state has been illicitly and unconstitutionally established by the judicial branch.
Below, read that justices like Justice Louis Brandeis “emphasized balancing private rights with public welfare.”
That is not dissimilar and is most similar to Karl Marx’s maxim, “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.”
One of the best examples of the diminution of rights is the decreasing ability of the owner of private property to determine wages, prices, rents, tenants, buyers, customers, services, products, etc.
Another is the corrupt, anti-American, and wholly unconstitutional regulatory state.
___________________________________________________________________________________________
AI Overview
While no single justice definitively declared property rights non-absolute in a famous quote around that time, the evolving understanding, especially with cases like Muller v. Oregon (1908) and New Deal era cases (1930s), saw justices like Justice Louis Brandeis, who often emphasized balancing private rights with public welfare, and Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., who championed judicial restraint and legislative supremacy over economic matters, chipping away at absolute property interpretations in favor of social regulation, though specific quotes on “not absolute” are hard to pinpoint to one person.
Oldmanfromkansas,
No, you tried to make an absurd claim that fell flat on its face. The judicial branch does not declare anything. They only interpret law against the constitution and the meaning of words and phrases and determine whether they meet a definition, intent, or view based on what the constitution says.
You tried to save face by parsing nonsense.
Georgie and anonymous, finish your peanut butter and jelly sandwiches , then your homework is as follows. You are to read this. I want a full essay and report by 0700 tomorrow. It explains how “interpreting” means to DECLARE WHAT THE LAW IS AND WHETHER IT IS CONSTITUTIONAL.
https://legalclarity.org/who-has-the-final-authority-to-interpret-the-constitution/
Anonymous, you’re making a huge deal over a distinction that makes no difference. You’re just making yourself look more and more stupid.
you clown. YOU are the one who tried and failed (over several posts) to tell old man that he was wrong (he is not). This is my first message, and I think I am being pretty clear.
Clown. YOU are the one who has posted several replies telling old man that he is wrong (he is not).
THis is my first, it only takes me one. Instead of admitting that you were wrong, you sniff it off as “makes no difference.” It does make a difference when you try to discredit a long-time respectable lawyer. Man up to it. or woman up to it. You were and are wrong. No wonder others call you out.
Ooo, 0700 tomorrow! You sound so tall and “military”—akin to one of the Dogs of War! I bet you were awarded a vast “fruit salad.” Am I right? I had no idea the Constitution was replaced by the “Legal Clarity Team.” Are you the founder and president? The word “interpret” does not exist in the documents of American fundamental law. It does say, “The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish,” which confers the power to “judge,” or “form an opinion about through careful weighing of evidence and testing of premises,” which leads ultimately to simply ensuring that actions comport with law and not changing the law to meet one’s agenda.
Since many here want to change the subject from the article,
I suggest we discuss the billions of dollars the somali’s stole through fraud.
It was one Somali. But Trump wants to use that to blame all of them. Kind of like blaming all Republicans for Trumps corruption. It wouldn’t be surprising if it turned out to be true.
“It was one Somali.”
Once again, the slow and dumb one thinks he can gaslight us and tell lies that we all know are lies. He does not think we are smart enough to know better. And now we can point to yet another one of his lies. He has no credibility.
A sprawling fraud scandal puts Minnesota’s Somali community in the spotlight
“Massive fraud blamed on dozens of Minnesota residents of Somali descent has jumped to national attention, with House Republicans launching an investigation into how pervasive corruption in the state’s social-services system was allowed to fester under Democratic Gov. Tim Walz’s administration.”
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/a-sprawling-fraud-scandal-puts-minnesota-s-somali-community-in-the-spotlight/ar-AA1RK9Ng
“Federal authorities announced this week that at least 86 people – mostly within small Somali communities in the state – have stolen more than $1 billion in public funds from programs meant to feed children, assist the homeless and provide autism therapy.”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15358599/Somali-fraud-Minnesota-Ilhan-Omar-Tim-Walz.html
These allegations have been around for as long as I’ve known she existed.
Every reasonable person knows that the reason she won’t sue anybody is that she would be exposed, by either testimony or DNA testing, as a liar.
There can be only one conclusion from those facts.
Maybe Homan’s investigation will yield a court-ordered DNA test on both?
I also wonder why any Somali immigrant who truly wants to assimilate and be a real American would choose to stay in that incestuous, criminal cesspool enterprise she leads, with Walz’s blessing.
I say we keep America at 50 states and trade with Canada: Minnesota for Alberta. Alberta is oil rich, and a significant percentage of the residents of Alberta want to become a US state, as they don’t appreciate being dictated to by left-wing Ottawa.
https://radio.foxnews.com/2025/05/12/alberta-canada-eyes-51st-state-offer/
In that deal I’d throw in Wisconsin for Saskatchewan.
Great idea.
Alberta is oil rich, and a significant percentage of the residents of Alberta want to become a US state, as they don’t appreciate being dictated to by left-wing Ottawa.
Emotional populism can put you in bed with provinces that would be the equivalent of discovering the cute Thai girl you crawled into bed with has a pair of balls hanging that he’s going to tell you that you better fondle. Alberta is just as oil and gas rich as it’s neighboring provinces to either side.
And if you believe that a majority of Albertans would sign on if allowed to become a US state, you should probably gut check your emotions by asking yourself why such a supposedly conservative province elects communist Dippers to be the premier of the province and it’s major cities have communist dipper mayors for about the last 20 years at least.
There are a lot of conservative minded Canadians in Alberta, when you get out of the two major cities of Calgary and Edmonton. Both of which have had mayors who could have been inspirations for Mamdami down here to use as inspiration.
BC and Saskatchewan on either side are the same: like our states like Washington, Oregon, etc without the heavy number of voters in the major cities, they would all have conservative governments.
However, nobody pitching this wants to notice that the current Alberta government came out of a backlash of the previous NDP provincial government, led by Rachel Notley.
And if you think Mamdami is a freak show, do a web search on the Dipper party leader poised to get Alberta back for Dipper communism again: former long time Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi, The Purple People Eater.
I have read that the reason she does not sue is that her name is not “Omar”. She smuggled herself into the US as a member of that family , who were given visas. She herself was never a member of that family and did not have a visa. So she committed fraud, but from what the professor writes that fraud is likely past the expiration date. Whether she married her brother to gain his admittance into the US is a separate matter.
“I also wonder why any Somali immigrant who truly wants to assimilate and be a real American would choose to stay in that incestuous, criminal cesspool enterprise she leads, with Walz’s blessing.”
Answer: Because they do not want to assimilate to be an American, never intended to, and because there is no requirement by the Minnesota-nice for them to do so.
Or…. She won’t sue anyone because she’s smart enough to know the allegations are just that allegations.
Homan’s claim of his very good “fraud investigator” seems more sketchy. And, as Turley noted the statute of limitations is a problem. The DOJ and DHS already have a bad reputation of lying to judges.
I’m surprised, not, that Trump’s wife isn’t being investigated for her sketchy arrival on a tourist visa and allegedly not working as a model at the time. She could lose her citizenship under Trump’s rules.
He states, “the election of a young immigrant to Congress is genuinely remarkable and commendable” but not if they don’t assimilate into our country and not if they make statements to the effect that they will put the interests of their home country above the interests of the United States as a representative in Congress.
“… Rep. Omar has long denied that she married her brother to gain his entry into the United States, …”
Down here in the Rio Grande Valley Texas, that’s the norm. A Mexican family sends their Daughter off to the U.S., She wags her tail and attracts an older American Gringo (usually a “Winter Texan”), hooks up, marries, gets Citizenship, then divorces the poor soul, or waits for the guy to croak. Then after an appropriate time, she marries her Brother and together they start the Citizenship naturalization process to get him proper. So here we have an abundance of: Garcia’s, Lopez, Longoria, Martinez, etc. … They have given true meaning to “All in the Family” and “It’s a family affair”.
It’s the Tex-Mex Way!
“It’s the Tex-Mex Way!” —they do that in Arizona and New Mexico too! But they don’t bother with “marrying” relatives to cover up the Border hopping; they just bring in the rest of the family (parents, siblings, cousins), openly. Many of these Hispanics see the borderlands as Aztlan (homeland), and traverse the borders with impunity, as they see the whole of Aztlan (California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas) as theirs. No wonder they raise the Mexican flag so proudly here.
The allegation is she married her brother to get HIM permanent residency, not the other way around.
DNA tests of both would settle it, but might open other cans of worms for her relatives even if she is telling the truth in this instance.
I’m surprised amateur sleuths don’t collect DNA and have it tested. We’re always hearing about cold cases where detectives travel to another state, surveil a suspect, and collect a can or cup the person used in order to compare DNA with crime scene evidence before busting the guy. So hang out with the “dirty dandy” at some South African hotspot and stuff one of his utensils into a baggy, then someone else does the same with Rep. Omar. Another interesting DNA test would be Bill & Chelsea Clinton.
