Heinous crime or horrible smear?

Either way... this certainly bears further investigation...

Minnesota state Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-60B) has stated that she did marry "British citizen" Ahmed Nur Said Elmi in 2009, though the allegation that he is her brother is "absurd and offensive." Exclusive new evidence -- from official archived high school records and corroborating sources -- strongly supports the claim that Ahmed Nur Said Elmi is indeed her brother.

The motivation for the marriage remains unclear. However, the totality of the evidence points to possible immigration fraud and student loan fraud.

As this implicates Rep. Omar in multiple state and federal felonies, I have contacted the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Minnesota to submit all other information uncovered during our investigation.

UPDATE:   Now there's a DNA test 

RELATED:   Let's ask local journalists...

The timing of Omar’s 2009 marriage to Elmi nearly coincides with the 2007-2008 scandal surrounding the Somalian community in which the FBI revealed that many young Somali men were leaving the U.S. to fight for the terrorist organization al-Shabaab.

An additional scandal rocked the Somalian community in Minnesota in 2008 when the U.S. Department of State discovered widespread fraud in one of its largest programs for admissions to America, the so-called P-3 family reunification program.

There have been at least 29 homicides in long-term care homes in Ontario in the past six years, a health-care advocacy group said Monday. “The level of homicide in Ontario’s long-term care facilities is higher than virtually anywhere else in our society,” Ontario Health Coalition executive director Natalie Mehra said.

When considering those statistics in the context of Ontario having about 80,000 people living in long-term care homes, that’s a homicide rate four times the city of Toronto.

Take note that they're actually shading these numbers...

"The actual total of long-term care homicides is higher than the 29 found in the coroner’s data, Mehra said, because they don’t include the 8 victims of nurse Elizabeth Wettlaufer."

By Saturday evening the death toll from Friday’s blaze had risen to 73, with another 74 people injured and dozens more were missing.

A second pipeline burst into flames Friday in the neighboring state of Queretaro as a result of another illegal tap.

The tragedy came just three weeks after President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador launched an offensive against fuel theft gangs that have drilled dangerous, illegal taps into pipelines an astounding 12,581 times in the first 10 months of 2018.
