Ilhan Omar lied about becoming citizen as a minor through her father—she was 18: report | The Post Millennial– thepostmillennial.com

“I became a citizen actually before I turned 18. My father became a citizen and so I got my citizenship through that process,” Omar has claimed.

A former Congressional candidate in Minnesota has raised concerns about Rep Ilhan Omar’s naturalization to the US, saying that the Democrat lawmaker lied about her birth year.

Speaking with Alpha News’ Liz Collin, AJ Kern said that in 2019, “I was looking at something about Ilhan Omar on the internet, and it occurred to me to look at her birth year. I don’t know why, or birthday, and so I used an age calculator and found out that she was actually 18 in the year 2000 when her father became eligible to apply for citizenship. She claimed that she became a citizen at the age of 17.

Will the House GOP Health Care Plan Survive?– www.dailysignal.com

House Republican leadership is hoping to pass a health care plan this week. But it could hit some major speed bumps along the way.

Going into the last week in session before Christmas break, House Republicans are in a rush to pass premium-slashing legislation to counter Democrat-led efforts to extend enhanced premium tax credit levels set in place under President Joe Biden.

Republicans, arguing that these tax credits are expensive, prone to fraud, and inflationary, are now trying to advance their policy alternative as the credits are set to expire at the end of the year.

Trial Begins for Wisconsin Activist Judge Accused of Helping Illegal Alien Evade ICE Arrest– slaynews.com

The federal trial of Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan begins today, as prosecutors allege she helped an illegal alien escape arrest by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) earlier this year.

Dugan is charged with obstruction of federal proceedings and concealing a person from arrest over her alleged actions involving Eduardo Flores-Ruiz.

Flores-Ruiz is an illegal alien who has since pled guilty to re-entering the U.S. and no contest to one count of battery.

According to court filings cited by Reuters, Dugan became “visibly angry” when she learned that ICE agents were waiting outside her courtroom to arrest Flores-Ruiz.

Media’s Latest Attempt at Dragging ‘Appeal to Heaven’ Flag Through the Mud Does Not Go Well – RedState– redstate.com

The mainstream media just loves manufacturing nontroversies, something we saw, for instance, in the New York Times hit pieces in 2024 on Justice Samuel Alito’s wife, Martha, over her once briefly flying the U.S. flag upside down at their home, and for flying the “Appeal to Heaven” flag at their beach home in New Jersey in the summer of 2023.

In the “Appeal to Heaven” flag article, the authors made sure to do the same thing they did in the inverted flag stories: to “link” it to the events of January 6, 2021, and Christian nationalism.

“Also known as the Pine Tree flag, it dates back to the Revolutionary War, but largely fell into obscurity until recent years,” the Times proclaimed, “and is now a symbol of support for former President Donald J. Trump, for a religious strand of the ‘Stop the Steal’ campaign and for a push to remake American government in Christian terms.”

Student arrested over ‘mass murder plot’ on Christmas market | World | News– www.express.co.uk

The student, named only by officials as Mateusz W., is believed to be attending the Catholic University of Lublin and wanted to commit an attack using explosives and planned to join a terrorist organisation, Jacek Dobrzynski, a spokesperson for Poland’s special services, said on Tuesday.

He prepared, gathered information on how to construct explosives, and his goal was to kill and intimidate Poles,” Mr Dobrzyński said at a press conference. According to the Internal Security Agency (ABW), on November 30, officers of the Internal Security Agency (ABW) conducted searches and detained the student.

Progressive Podcast Host Says Charlie Kirk ‘Justified’ His Death Because He Supported Gun Rights– townhall.com

Blurb:

Progressive podcast host, Jennifer Wlech, claimed on Saturday on her “I’ve Had It” podcast that Charlie Kirk “justified” his own assassination because he supported the Second Amendment.

She made her claims while reacting to a clip of Erika Kirk condemning those who had supported, mocked, or justified her husband’s assassination.

“The person that I heard that justified his death was him,” Welch said. “He’s the one that said on tape that if school kids die, but it means he gets to have a Second Amendment, then that’s what it’s going to be. He’s the one that justified it.”

“And I believe at the time of shooting, he was talking about gun violence at the time. That’s wild to me, number one. And then for her — I want to get your opinion on this as a Black man — for her to say that people are dehumanizing Charlie Kirk,” Welch told former CNN host Don Lemon.

Lemon agreed with Welch’s comments.

“Everyone I know prefaces it the same way that you do — he should still be alive. The man should not be dead. However, it is true he promoted guns, he did not want sensible gun legislation, and he said that you have to have a certain amount of casualties, so to speak, in order to have a Second Amendment. He did say that. And he happened to die that way. That’s fact,” he said.

But look, as someone who’s been in grief before, you know, I don’t know. You don’t know how someone’s going to react. But if people of color and members of the LGBTQ-plus community feel a certain kind of way about Charlie Kirk, I understand it because he was not kind to us. As someone who happens to be members of both of those, LGBTQ and a Black person, he wasn’t kind. His thoughts weren’t kind. His words weren’t kind.

 

“I’m not happy that he died at all. But I also did not like what he stood for when he was alive. And I think it’s okay to say that,” he added.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) on Monday set new January deposition dates for former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, warning that continued refusal to testify in Congress’s Jeffrey Epstein investigation will trigger immediate contempt of Congress proceedings.

In a sharply worded letter sent to the Clintons’ attorney, David Kendall of Williams & Connolly, Comer rejected arguments that the former officials should be excused from appearing and accused their legal team of mischaracterizing the scope of the investigation while obstructing efforts to schedule testimony.

“The Committee has chosen the date of January 13, 2026, for the deposition of President Clinton and January 14, 2026, for the deposition of Secretary Clinton,” Comer wrote. “If your clients do not comply with these new dates, the Committee will move immediately to contempt proceedings.”

Here is a recap of the president’s Dec. 15 mañanera.

Sheinbaum: Shift to the right won’t happen in Mexico

Sheinbaum responded that the situation in “each country” would need to be analyzed to determine why voters in some Latin American nations have recently supported right-wing candidates and parties in large numbers.

Authorities Reveal Gunmen Who Killed 15 At Bondi Beach Were Previously Monitored By Intelligence Agency– wltreport.com

More details have emerged regarding the the gunmen who killed 15 people at an Australia beach.

In the new reports,  the police commissioner of New South Wales revealed the father and son who were behind the brutal shooting were allegedly motivated by ISIS.

A separate report from authorities in Australia revealed the son was previously under surveillance by an Australian intelligence agency.

The Guardian reported more on the new reports:

The father and son duo allegedly behind the Bondi attacked appear to have been inspired by Islamic State, the Australian prime minister says, as police confirmed they were investigating why the pair travelled to the Philippines last month.

The New South Wales police commissioner, Mal Lanyon, on Tuesday alleged Naveed Akram, 24, and his 50-year-old father, Sajid, had recently travelled to the Philippines.

Lanyon also alleged that IEDs and two homemade IS flags were found in a car registered to Naveed that was parked at the scene of Sunday’s shooting.

Trump’s Post on Rob Reiner’s Death Was a Massive Misstep, While the Vast Majority of MAGA Posts Got It Exactly Right– www.westernjournal.com

Blurb:

I’ve often written for this site that the monstrous, prickly caricature of President Donald Trump usually portrayed by the media is a wild-eyed ruse.

His touching and humane response to finding out about the news of Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s passing in 2020 has always been a moment that I’ve referenced as showing just how magnanimous Trump can be when his ideological foes perish.

Why, oh, why, couldn’t that Donald Trump have been present when famed Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife were allegedly murdered by their son in their California home on Sunday?

Instead, we got this version of Trump:

“A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood,” the president posted to Truth Social on Monday morning. “Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS. He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before. May Rob and Michele rest in peace!”

I mean this with zero exaggeration: That message should’ve literally been just the first line and last line, period.

Everything else is a disservice to anyone who’s ever defended Trump’s character from the relentless smears of the left and establishment media.

You simply do not speak ill of the dead, barring someone truly heinous (like, if you wanted to crack a Hitler joke hours after he offed himself, have at it).

The daughter of one of the victims of Sunday’s Bondi Beach terror attack told CBS News on Monday that her father was “shot dead for being Jewish,” and she now believes Australia is not a safe home for Jewish people.

Sheina Gutnick said that her father, Reuven Morrison, a 62-year-old Soviet-born member of the ultra-orthodox Jewish community in Australia, was killed while attempting to stop one of the two gunmen during Sunday’s mass shooting, which Australian authorities have called an antisemitic terror attack.

“From my sources and understanding, he had jumped up the second the shooting started. He managed to throw bricks at the terrorist,” Gutnick told CBS News in Bondi on Monday, referencing an attempt to stop one of the gunmen that was caught on camera during the attack the previous day.

Wisconsin Assistant Attorney General Adrienne Blais did little Monday to challenge the defense’s legal arguments that her agency’s politically motivated fraud case against two attorneys and an aide for the 2020 Trump campaign is built on a prosecution “error.”

Liberal Dane County Judge John Hyland, who refused to recuse himself from the case after explosive allegations that a retired judge was the ghostwriter of Hyland’s earlier order, ruled that prosecutors had provided enough evidence to take the phony “false electors” case to trial.

Why this matters for Egyptian history

The Second Intermediate Period, dated roughly 1782–1550 BCE, has long been understood as a time of political fragmentation, military innovation and shifting power. It saw the introduction of new technologies such as the horse-drawn chariot, multiple competing capitals, and weakened central authority. If this period lasted longer than previously thought, historians must rethink how quickly Egypt recovered from collapse, how long the Hyksos ruled, and how the early New Kingdom developed its military and administrative strength. Just as importantly, the revised dating helps resolve a decades-old problem in Mediterranean archaeology: how Egyptian history lines up with Minoan, Levantine and Aegean chronologies. By placing the Thera eruption firmly before Ahmose’s reign, the study removes one of the most persistent points of chronological tension between Egypt and its neighbours.

The daughter of pro-democracy activist, businessman, former newspaper owner, and Catholic convert Jimmy Lai has spoken out for the first time since her father’s incarceration five years ago as his trial under Hong Kong’s draconian National Security Law (NSL) continues to plod along. 

In an EWTN video interview and in a Washington Post op-ed, Clarie Lai says that her father, who just turned 78 years old, is languishing in prison, “shrinking to nothing. If China fails to act, he’ll be a martyr.”

“My father is suffering from rapidly deteriorating health,” Claire wrote in the Post. “He has diabetes and hypertension, his hearing and vision are failing, he has suffered from months-long infections and is in constant pain that sometimes leaves him struggling even to stand up. But the most visible and alarming sign of his plight is severe weight loss.”

Canada’s euthanasia crisis has now reached inside federal prisons, with new statistics revealing that the government has now begun euthanizing prisoners under the nation’s state-sanctioned “assisted suicide” program.

The new data revealed that at least 15 federal prison inmates were euthanized under Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) scheme since 2018.

The information comes from an Order Paper response showing that Correctional Service Canada approved MAiD deaths for inmates before their sentences were completed.

The finding is raising serious questions about coercion, oversight, and the rapid normalization of euthanasia inside government institutions.

“Those guarantees will not be on the table forever. Those guarantees are on the table right now if there’s a conclusion that’s reached in a good way,” he said.

China Hawks Face Setback With Trump’s Nvidia Deal, National Security Strategy– foreignpolicy.com

U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Monday that he will permit semiconductor giant Nvidia to export its high-end H200 chips to China, potentially handing Beijing a boost in the battle for artificial intelligence supremacy. In characteristic fashion, Trump is insisting on the U.S. government taking a 25 percent cut of the sales.

The H200 isn’t Nvidia’s most advanced chip, but it outclasses the cut-down models that Nvidia had designed especially for the Chinese market. The deal is undoubtedly a product of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s lobbying in Washington, but it also appears designed to curry favor with Chinese President Xi Jinping, with whom Trump hopes to secure a significant trade agreement.

The move comes amid a flurry of conciliatory behavior toward China. Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff for policy, is reportedly tasked with blocking any U.S. government action that could jeopardize a potential trade deal with Beijing. Vice President J.D. Vance has been echoing Chinese rhetoric, and the administration effectively killed legislation that would have required U.S. firms to offer the government first-purchase rights on key chips.
