Ilhan "Omar" Disappears; Husband Asked If She's Fled the Country

I mean her current husband, the one with the wine-label "business" that zoomed up to $5 million in value and then was "corrected" down to six buck twenty, not the brother she married to fraudulently obtain a Green Card for.

Dmitri Bolt at Townhall:

"Hey Tim, there are rumors that the congresswoman left the country, is that true?" a Fox News Digital reporter asked.
"You're annoying the hell out of all the neighbors around here man," Mynett replied.
"No, I just wanted to get your response to everything that's been going on, that's all," the reporter said. "And what the president's saying about the net worth and the investigation. Just giving you a chance to respond."

SPOTTED: Ilhan Omar's husband Tim Mynett snapped at questions surrounding rumors that the congresswoman fled the country following a federal raid by Homeland Security Investigations. He was seen outside their Washington, D.C., home multiple times, but Omar has not been spotted since the raid.

Remember that Ilhan "Omar" isn't just being investigated for immigration fraud -- but for financial fraud as well.

I imagine the "winery" that produces no actual wine is a major part of this investigation.

U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro revealed Tuesday that her office is investigating Rep. Ilhan Omar's financial disclosures, opening a new chapter in the controversy surrounding the Minnesota Democrat's previously reported multimillion-dollar assets.
Speaking on Fox News' "America Reports," Pirro said her office was examining Omar's financial disclosures, which previously showed that the reported value of businesses tied to her husband, Tim Mynett, had surged from as much as $51,000 in 2023 to as much as $30 million in 2024.

As I understand it, the "winery" isn't a winery. What the "business" seems to be is a company that buys wine from actual wineries then slaps its own label on it and resells it.

I cannot say with certainty but this seems very much like Hunter Biden's "watercolor paintings" -- a commodity whose objective price is hard to establish so it could be "sold" for any number of dollars to political donors whose real object, as with Hunter's Watercolors, is just to funnel money to a politician in a way that avoids reporting requirements and donation limits.

Six dollar bottle of wine might "sell" for $1000 because it's got that classy, high-status Mynett-Omar brand attached to it. You can't cry foul because who knows what a bottle of wine is worth?

This is speculation on my part but what other theory fits the facts here?

No, that's exactly what it is. And it's not uncommon, especially with "celebrity" wines. They basically just buy the wine (or other booze) already bottled, slap their label on it, and use their celebrity cred to sell it.

Nothing wrong with this -- but celebrities aren't in positions of governmental power like Omar is. I wonder how many bottles or shares of the company were sold to "buyers" solely looking to curry favor with a House member.

The House tradition is to expel members after conviction, I believe, so don't expect action there until then. Maybe a show vote or two where the handful of GOPe House members who always vote against these things vote against it.

But, what matters ultimately is the legal fight. Everything else is a sideshow.

You are correct.

The massive entity you are referring to is MGP Ingredients (Midwest Grain Products). Located in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, this historic facility is famously known as the ultimate source behind dozens of well-known American whiskey, bourbon, and rye brands.

For years, it operated as the spirits industry's "worst-kept secret," serving as a massive contract distiller. Start-up brands or "Non-Distiller Producers" (NDPs) source aged or unaged liquid from MGP, finish or blend it, and sell it under their own labels

132 There isn't a vineyard within 50 miles of me. Yet, there's a "winery" right down the road. I believe they buy a set amount of grapes, have it pressed into wine, then put their own label on it. It's the same wine as a half dozen other "local" wines, just with a different label.

And they sell it at an inflated price because there's only so many bottles of it. Not because it's good, rare or exceptional...

Omar's winery wasn't likely even doing this minimal effort. It didn't appear like it was a functional winery.

It did appear to launder massive amounts of money however.

Open up a brand in a trendy, vanity-investment space (like a winery) and solicit investments from rich people.

NC progs did turn out big yesterday in relative terms. Higher than the first day of both 2022 and 2024.

However, the pattern shown in other states is quick erosion of the gains in early voting as Republicans keep voting regularly and Democrats run out their loyalists in the first few days.

The GOP target will be a D+7 result in early voting, or close to it, similar to the results at the end of early voting in 2024.

John J Griffin, a 16-year-old from Bend, Oregon, was identified as the suspect in Thursday's shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School that killed four and injured two critically.

John J. Griffin, who was shot dead by a bystander, was identified by NBC News citing three senior law enforcement officials briefed on the matter. Per NBC News, the shotgun that Griffin used for the shooting was purchased by his mother around the 16-year-old's birthday in August.

John J. Griffin's link to Silver Rail Elementary school is unclear as the investigation into the shooting continues. Griffin used a pump-action shotgun and opened fire around 12:30pm PDT Thursday. Three children - a five-year-old, an eight-year-old and an 11-year-old were killed. A seven-year-old student and a teacher were critically injured.

202 Ilhan Omar's graft has been incredibly sloppy. She reminds me of Bob Menendez, the senator from New Jersey who had stolen Egyptian gold bars (traced by serial numbers to a 2013 heist) and a half-million in cash bribes stashed all over their house. It's as if both Menendez and Omar thought they were somehow untouchable.

But hey, unlike Menendez, Omar hasn't yet been arrested. She might be right. Right now, she's probably lying low in some fancy villa owned by one of her Somalian Learing Center millionaire contacts, waiting for the heat to die down. If it doesn't, there is always Somalia, which doesn't have an extradition treaty with the US.

A sense of moral purpose

Belonging to a community

An outlet for frustration

A feeling of participating in something important

Their hate is essentially interchangeable, just like a fandom or a narcotic. They are currently targeting Israel because it’s fashionable and the most rewarding due to the efforts of the dealers. This may change in an instant (Remember Free Tibet, Save Darfur?).

Gregory wants another state to step in, because Colorado Democrats are a big club which plebs aren't in.

238 Jacobin.com: It Won’t Stop With Ilhan Omar
Usually authoritarians target those on the margins before expanding their repression. That Trump and Vance are going after a sitting congresswoman, Ilhan Omar, with politically motivated deportation means they have bigger ambitions.

Their push to have the 14th amendment reinterpreted and their push to denaturalize citizens is just part of their overall goal: they want to be able to strip citizenship from anyone for any reason and send them to camps outside of the country. Like the Nazis did.

So stop it. Don't let it happen. Have a quick look at France who's students just stormed Blackrock HQ. They don't fuck about with fash.

Relax. Jeffries is "deeply concerned" and thinks all of this is "relatively" unwarranted. No word from Schumer as he is busy working closely with Fetterman and other Republicans to find more American taxpayer funds for Israel.

Where is Schumer with his chants of "we will win! we will win!" when you need him?

The goal was never just to censor one representative; it’s to set a chilling precedent for the entire party.

Yeah I'm always puzzled by this kind of claim. Nobody wants to put anyone in camps, that's expensive and pointless. We just want them shipped out to their home countries.

Because this is far larger than Omar, she is tied into a vast criminal fraud (and perhaps Muslim Brotherhood terrorism ) network bleeding the US and Minnesota dry. Some of those criminal co defendants, like the Mafia, might think it better if she just disappears because someone buried in a construction site can't talk.

Look at what happened to people around the Clinton World network of fraud.

This may be the end of IP as a product. The purpose of a patent or a trademark is to guarantee that new ideas get out to the world in return for a limited period of exclusive control. In the AI world, ideas are still a dime a dozen, just the development and exploitation of them is democratized.
It is also the end of financialization of products, and the end of intentional enshittification - in the future, when anyone can develop an idea, but may not have the skills to make it into a product, the real winners are businesses that can both make quality products, and can make them at scale for the market - which a 3D printer or a CNC mill is not able to do yet.

With character actors, all you have is maybe a few lines, but that builds the character. The guy did some great work with the few lines he had in Raiders and he built a good character with them. It seemed to be at odds with the one portrayed in Last Crusade is all.

THIS was acting. And good writing. It is hard to recognize today.

She almost certainly has contacts and has gotten payments from the big bosses, IMHO.

So, somebody has disappeared her out of the country already or soon to prevent that.

_____________________________

Sadly, that's an easy and obvious one to answer. Who is the richest family in Somalia? Simple... the family that owns Dahabshiil Money Transfer Service. That family is headed by Mohamed Said Duale (Chairman and Founder). Abdirashid Duale (CEO of Foreign Interests).

You will find a Dahabshiil branch and each and every single location on the planet where there are more than a handful of Somalis. Minneapolis has three branches within a 10 block area. Dublin Ohio has a branch. San Diego has a branch. Keep in mind that Dahabshiil is so recent in development that the founder is still active and running the show.

You will find Dahabshiil throughout Europe where you find Somalis. In fact, there is a private Islamic school in Gothenburg, Sweden. Last year is was learned that embezzled funds were ending up in Somalia (most students there are Somali). Rural Gothenburg even had a branch of Dahabshiil.
