Ilhan Omar is dumb, but shouldn’t her
staff be smarter?
Posted By: ConservativeYankee, 7/6/2026 10:49:37 PM
Nobody is going to argue that Ilhan Omar is a great thinker or speaker. She’s not. And we get it, she’s from another country, and English is her second language, but that’s not an excuse for a sitting member of Congress to sound like an ignorant dolt, especially when she has a taxpayer-funded staff that’s supposed to be helping her. Ilhan’s latest mishap came on Independence Day, when she not once, but twice, was unable to properly pronounce the word patriotism. She says it, “paytreeism.” You might think we’re being petty and nitpicking her accent. But it goes way beyond that. This is part of a pattern with this woman

President Donald Trump posted a photo of a $100 bill bearing his signature on Truth Social on July 3, presenting the first paper currency to be signed by a living president.
Trump didn’t add a comment to the post, but the Treasury Department chimed in.
“Under President Trump’s leadership, we are on a path toward unprecedented economic growth, lasting dollar dominance, and fiscal strength and stability,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent posted on X on July 4.
“There is no more powerful way to recognize the historic achievements of our great country and President Donald J. Trump than U.S dollar bills bearing his signature, and it is only appropriate that this historic currency

The Texas Stock Exchange (TXSE) began production, quoting, and trading operations on Monday, kicking off a phased rollout as a new national securities exchange based in Dallas.
The launch marks a significant milestone for the Dallas-headquartered startup, which aims to challenge the longstanding dominance of the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ. TXSE started with limited test symbols for approved members, with broader symbol availability planned throughout July.
The exchange will operate under the market center identifier “F.”
Trading hours include a pre-market session from 8:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., regular market hours from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and a post-market session from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
President Trump rang the opening bell for the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq in the Oval Office on Monday to mark the launch of his administration’s tax-advantaged accounts for kids, with the commander in chief vowing “to make young children, born with no money in many cases, rich.”
Trump was joined in the Oval Office by corporate executives who have contributed to the funds, as well as a group of nine children who jumped up and cheered as the president pulled on a rope to signal the start of Wall Street’s trading day.
Monday marked the second time a sitting president has

Retail giants Walmart and Sam's Club on Monday announced sweeping summer discounts on thousands of everyday essentials and seasonal items, a move that quickly drew political attention after President Donald Trump said the retailer acted at his administration's request. In a news release Monday, Walmart and Sam's Club said they are introducing nationwide price cuts to help families stretch their dollars during backyard barbecues, vacations and weekly grocery trips.
The savings span several categories, including groceries, household essentials, outdoor living, toys and apparel.
Senator Mitch McConnell has been hospitalized for three weeks. His wife, Elaine Chao, appeared in China just days after his hospitalization to meet with high-ranking Chinese officials. The trip was planned before Mitch’s hospitalization. Desiree Townsend, an independent journalist who works on Capitol Hill, expressed concerns about national security. “If Senator McConnell has been unable to independently perform his duties, what safeguards exist to ensure classified intelligence briefings, defense appropriations information, or other sensitive congressional matters could not be accessed, discussed, or shared by individuals operating behind the scenes? And given the timing of Chao’s meeting with China’s vice president, what exactly was discussed?"
Another front in the language war that Muslims are fighting everywhere can be found here: a Muslim police officer is now enraged that the terms “Islamist” and “jihadist” are being used to label terrorists. “U.K. Muslim Police Association Urged End to ‘Islamist’ and ‘Jihadist’ Labels,” by Jules Gomes, Middle East Forum, June 25, 2026:
Britain’s official representative body for Muslim police officers has sparked outrage after a policy paper published on its website proposed scrapping terms like “Islamist” and “jihadist” to label “terrorists with Islamic affiliations.”
The National Association of Muslim Police (NAMP) has deleted the 39-page paper titled “From Past Prejudices to Present Policies: Confronting anti-Muslim hatred and Promoting Human Rights,”
Solar-powered black boxes have been installed in communities across the U.S. under the guise of “public safety.” Yet, in true American fashion, resistance is rising against what can only be described as the arrival of a full-fledged surveillance state.
Flock Safety cameras, the most prominent brand in this AI surveillance space, are automated license plate readers (ALPRs) that capture high-resolution images of every passing vehicle. Flock and similar systems now operate in thousands of communities, with over 110,000 cameras mapped nationwide, according to DeFlock, an open-source project mapping license plate readers. Thanks to recent tech upgrades like Leonardo’s SignalTrace, these cameras do more than just read license plates and record your
Students will no longer be able to take out federal loans to pay for degree programs that fail to provide them a return on investment, thanks to a new federal policy that went into effect on July 1.
And it’s about time.
It’s a response to a shocking fact: Graduates of more than 800 college programs across the country — including at institutions like the University of South California and New York City’s New School — make less than the average high-school grad four years after getting a degree, despite all that time, effort and tuition money.
Now the American government will have no part in propping up degree programs
Sen. Mitch McConnell remains hospitalized, his office said in a statement Thursday — without offering details about a recent medical episode that has renewed concern about the health of the former Republican majority leader.
McConnell “continues his recovery in the hospital” and “continues to improve,” his office said. “Senator McConnell appreciates the outpouring of support he’s receiving while he continues his recovery in the hospital,” the statement said. “The Senator continues to improve, and is working closely with his staff on Kentucky and Senate matters while the Senate is out of session.”
The statement did not explain why he was hospitalized last month.

After 9/11, there was a lot of talk about ‘radical Islam.’ There is no ‘radical Islam’ or ‘moderate Islam’, but lately there is more of a trend of middle class white women becoming radicalized on social media, supporting Islamic terrorists and sometimes converting to Islam. To some degree this is just BLM 2.0 or Transgender 3.0 with bored empty people becoming caught up in social media contagion. But it’s also an entry point for the enemies of our country who are happy enough to recruit these useful idiots.
A middle-class upstate New York mom has been charged with allegedly supporting an Islamic terrorist organization after donating $30,000 in cryptocurrency to
The Trump administration has officially ended the federal government's decades-old paper retirement processing system, replacing a notoriously slow, manual operation housed inside a former Pennsylvania limestone mine with a fully digital process. The milestone, dubbed the "Last Day of Paper" by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), marks one of the Department of Government Efficiency's biggest victories after years of failed reform efforts. Located more than 230 feet underground in Boyers, Pennsylvania, the OPM retirement processing center stored more than 400 million paper records and manually processed roughly 10,000 federal retirement applications every month. Strangely though, for decades, retirement paperwork was physically mailed between agencies before arriving

Congress, all Americans to address nearly
$40T national debt 18 replies
Former U.S. Comptroller General David Walker is joining the call for President Trump, Congress – and essentially all Americans – to reign in the national debt that is now nearing $40 trillion, saying its creating an inevitable collapse of the U.S. economy that will ultimately lead to a global depression.
"One of the things that we clearly have to have is we need a constitutional amendment, because only a constitutional amendment can bind the Congress to return to fiscal sanity and sustainability," Walker said last week on the Just the News, No Noise TV show.
The View co-host Sunny Hostin has complained that seeing American flags in her community makes her feel “unsafe.”
During Monday’s episode of the flagship ABC political talk show, Hostin weighed in on the July 4th march by the white nationalist group Patriot Front.
Hostin ranted:
You know, I think unfortunately in this country, people have different lived experiences. So while some may have a lived experience like this, it is the best country in the world. (Snip) When I walk into a community and I see American flags all over the community and I suddenly feel unsafe
James Gunn was supposed to revamp and revitalize DC Studios at Warner Bros. (snip) Friday grosses dropped an astonishing 80.4% from opening day on June 26 to just $3.6 million. Saturday estimates are for just $2.6 million, another 77% drop, despite the Independence Day holiday. (snip) Lazy, uninteresting stories made by people who obviously despise their audiences is a recipe for disaster. That's exactly what "Supergirl" is, a disaster.
A mad horde of teens pummeled a pair of South Carolina cops in a wild brawl after the officers tried to break up a dangerous Fourth of July celebration that included gunshots and fireworks launched at cars, police said.
The shocking attack unfolded when officers attempted to shut down an Independence Day celebration in the North Charleston nabe of Chicora-Cherokee around 8:30 p.m., the North Charleston Police Department said.
“We need some help,” North Charleston Police Chief Ron Camacho pleaded with the public. “We really do. We need some help from the community. Because stuff like this is getting dangerous.”
As we've been reporting, most Americans are all-in, celebrating and enjoying America 250. We recognize the great gift we have been given with this nation and the principles it espouses. But even as celebrations are ongoing, you see folks on the left going all-in to attack it because of their Trump hatred or their hatred of America in general. We saw the Mayor of New York City deliver an ugly speech, for example. That was taken down with pointed responses from people like Elon Musk and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. But if there was a real sign of how far the Democrats have gone off the leftist cliff,
The controversial group Patriot Front always picks very high-profile moments to crawl out from under its rock and make a big splash. You hardly see these masked guys any other time of the year, but when a big event is underway, you can always count on them showing up and giving the mainstream media the headlines it needs to remind the country, and the world, how “systemically racist” America is and how dangerous “white men” are to precious democracy.This is just one of the reasons why so many people believe Patriot Front is an “SPLC-style” stunt. It feels very well-timed and performative, and as you likely know, it’s been proven
The heat was Frank-ly unbearable.
A semi-truck leaked a whopping 40,000 pounds of sticky Frank’s RedHot sauce onto an Ohio highway amid a brutal heatwave last week.
The truck carrying loads of the popular condiment began leaking while traveling north on Interstate 71 in Delaware County on Thursday, leaving a trail of the spicy sauce on the roadbed before its driver realized, the Columbus Dispatch reported.
The driver eventually pulled into a truck stop as fire crews followed the trail of the bright-red mystery fluid to find its source.
“Our crews were out on the highway trying to track it down and actually were able to follow the trail to the Pilot,”

Graham Platner, the scandal-plagued progressive military veteran, said Monday he is reflecting on the best path forward for his Maine Senate campaign after another allegation of sexual misconduct was raised against the troubled Democrat.
Platner’s announcement comes after he canceled several events over the July 4 weekend as rumors spread that a “very damaging allegation” would be coming out against the already troubled candidate.
On Monday, Politico reported on allegations made by Platner’s former girlfriend that he “forced
Casual sports observers often wonder why the sport of Soccer has never been successful in the United States. This story is a big picture example of exactly whyThe country of Belgium is filing an appeal with FIFA World Cup organizers to stop the United States from playing the game of soccer with their best players. You just cannot make this stuff up, folks.
Only in the sport of EU soccer can a bureaucratic agency file a parliamentary objection with the intent to force the official bureaucratic agents of the soccer administration, FIFA, to block a team from fielding their best players – because the business of the bureaucracy is more important
Conservative activist Laura Loomer and journalist Desiree Townsend both claimed Monday that Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has been declared “brain dead,” citing unnamed sources.
Loomer wrote on X that, according to a senior source she said was close to the White House, McConnell had been declared brain dead and was not expected to recover.
“High level source close to the White House tells me Mitch McConnell is officially brain dead. He’s not coming back,” Loomer posted. [Tweet]
Townsend later reposted Loomer’s post, saying she had heard the same information from her own sources. She also claimed McConnell’s Capitol Police detail was still at the hospital.
“Turning to something much more serious that happened yesterday,” Bash said as if the demonstration was a deadly massacre, “several 100 masked men belonging to the white nationalist group, the Patriot Front, marched with Confederate flags, and they did it through neighborhoods in the US Capitol, at least near the Capitol, and they chanted ‘Reclaim America.'”
“There’s a widely circulated photograph, I’m sure you’ve seen it, taken by Reuters of an African American woman on a subway surrounded by members of this group. Are you concerned about this?” she continued.
