The Conservative Cave

Federal agents searched Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Washington, D.C., home as part of a criminal fraud investigation reportedly examining immigration paperwork connected to the Minnesota Democrat. The inquiry has reportedly continued for years and now appears focused on documents completed when Omar was a teenager.

A Department of Justice spokesperson said Homeland Security Investigations executed a judicially authorized search warrant in the Washington, D.C., area. The spokesperson described the enforcement action as part of an ongoing federal investigation.

The inquiry appears to concern whether Omar and her late father provided false information on immigration paperwork. The statute of limitations connected to allegations that Omar married her brother has already expired.
...
A former immigration official told the New York Post that if Omar’s father lied on citizenship documents and Omar participated in that lie, it “would wipe her out from naturalization.” The potential consequences outlined by another immigration official were equally severe.

“If there’s enough evidence that she or [her father] lied on her immigration application to become a United States citizen, whether it was one time or several times, the Trump administration could initiate a denaturalization process that would strip her of her citizenship,” a top immigration official told the Post.

MS Now’s Ken Dilanian acknowledged that investigators had to present evidence before obtaining judicial search warrants. That concession put the legal threshold for the raid squarely into the network’s coverage, despite its far-left posture.

Dilanian said, “The Department of Homeland Security, which carried out the search, had to present evidence to a judge, suggesting that there was evidence of a crime at this location at Representative Omar’s home in Washington, D.C., or at least that there was probable cause to believe that there was such evidence.”

According to Dilanian, federal investigators are trying to determine whether Omar was 18 when she obtained citizenship in 2000. Omar claims she was born on October 4, 1982.

We can't go on this way.

We have come to a crossroads now that we've connected the fact that behind the soaring number of Data Centers is the devious plan to control people by controlling the information they hear. It's a process that began decades ago when the Fairness Doctrine ended, followed by the Robert's Court ruling on Citizens United. In two steps, they weakened the media's obligation to properly inform the public, and they gave those with deep pockets more power to attack their opponents using vile lies. Plainly, in a country where there is no controls over the quality of speech, billionaires have succeeded in controlling speech.

Now enters the era of the Data Centers. We already know the damage they can do because of what happened when Zelensky neutralized the Data Centers in Russia. Those foreign bot farms disseminated false information with the intention of triggering the US conservative voters. Sadly, their racist tropes worked, because racism exists in this country. So, essentially, a foreign country, with the blessing of conservative leaders in this country, intentionally keeps us divided. And we all know, a house divided cannot stand.

Now the really bad news: We have to face the fact that there are already enough Data Centers under construction in the US to affect the course of the next general election. There is only one way to neutralize them and that's to bring back some leveling regulation to deter those who are intentionally spreading false, political information. Off the top of my head, we could start by passing the Fairness Doctrine 2.0. But, where there is a criminal attempt to spread false information, like in Texas where they claimed that Talarico had been in a mental institution, there should be stiffer penalties to deter them, and others, from doing it again.

Frankly, I see this as a critical necessity and it should be taking all of our focus. I don't see why, in a country where you can identify a legal cause, there isn't a movement to look for legal remedies. The Supreme Court erred by turning us into second class citizens when they gave billionaires the power to buy airways and politicians. Our words and opinions have been diluted because of it. We have lost our freedom of Speech because of the conservative's malicious long game. But what we can plainly see today, is that if you can't magnify your voice, you lose your voice.

As soon as we make changes to the Supreme Court, the first order of business should involve filing lawsuits to help change the laws to control the data that is coming from those Data Centers. It would be a start in removing the power that billionaires now have to buy elections and politicians.

6. Gee, we used to have JOURNALISTS who be working now to identify the judge

Democrats in New York have no interest in keeping their communities safe. After their meltdown over the weekend following an ICE-involved shooting of a criminal illegal alien with gang ties, we're learning the Big Apple and the state have rejected thousands of ICE detainers, keeping at least 16,000 illegal aliens in your neighborhood. These ICE detainers cover illegal aliens who have been accused of or committed more than 50,000 crimes.

The Department of Homeland Security said the municipalities across the Dem-driven state have refused to comply with its detainment requests 16,070 times since President Trump re-entered office fewer than two years ago — refusing to hand over criminal migrants suspected or convicted of everything from murder to kidnapping and sexual assault.

“While sanctuary politicians continue to release dangerous criminals onto their streets, our brave law enforcement officers will continue to risk their lives to arrest these heinous criminals and make America safe again. Illegal aliens have no sanctuary in America,” DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin told The Post.
