(DC Pundit) – For years, anyone who dared raise questions about Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) immigration history was swiftly branded a bigot, a conspiracy theorist, or some knuckle-dragging right-winger with nothing better to do.

Well, it turns out the federal government has something better to do, and it involves a Freedom of Information Act request, a federal law-enforcement exemption, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement refusing to hand over records because doing so could interfere with active “enforcement proceedings.”

President Trump shared the bombshell report on his Truth Social account Sunday evening.

The long-standing allegations center on claims that Omar entered into a fraudulent marriage with Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, who some allege is her biological brother, in order to help him secure legal status in the United States. Omar has repeatedly denied the accusation, calling it a “bigoted lie,” and insisting she committed no crime.

But here’s the thing, ICE isn’t exactly taking her word for it.

When Just the News filed a FOIA request in January seeking documents related to any ICE investigation into the alleged fraud, the agency invoked 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(7)(A), the exemption that protects law-enforcement records when disclosure could compromise an active investigation or proceeding. “Disclosure of any responsive records at this time could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings,” ICE wrote.

That’s the clearest official signal yet that federal scrutiny of Omar is very much alive.

Trump’s Border Czar Tom Homan had already confirmed in December that he’d ordered Omar’s immigration records pulled for review. “We’re pulling the records, we’re pulling the files, and we’re looking at it,” Homan said, adding that an experienced Homeland Security fraud investigator had previously reviewed the file and raised serious concerns.

Then in March, Vice President JD Vance poured fuel on the fire when he revealed the White House fraud task force was examining the allegations. “We actually think that Ilhan Omar definitely committed immigration fraud against the United States of America,” Vance said flatly. Two months later, Vance confirmed the Justice Department had also joined the review, though he was careful to add: “If we think that there’s a crime, we’re going to prosecute that crime.”

Omar, who was born in Somalia, came to the U.S. in 1995 and became a citizen in 2000. She legally married Elmi in 2009 and divorced him in 2017. No DNA evidence or court ruling has conclusively established the alleged biological relationship.

What has been established, however, is this: the Trump administration isn’t buying the “right-wing conspiracy theory” defense, and neither, apparently, is ICE.

(DC Pundit) – As Bill Clinton marked his 80th birthday on August 19th, a report from RadarOnline has raised fresh questions about the former president’s health, claiming that Hillary Clinton has begun making arrangements for an eventual funeral service, while Bill himself is reportedly reviewing his estate and potentially updating a will said to be worth $120 million.

The report relies on unnamed insiders, and it is worth noting upfront that funeral planning for former presidents is not necessarily an indicator of imminent medical crisis. A Washington National Cathedral spokesperson confirmed to Radar that all living former presidents have state funeral plans under development.

That said, the context surrounding these reports makes them difficult to dismiss entirely.

According to Radar, Hillary’s tentative plans include a traditional funeral service at Washington National Cathedral, followed by burial at or near the William J. Clinton Presidential Library and Museum in Little Rock, Arkansas. One presidential historian cited by the outlet suggested Clinton could even request to be buried near the library’s rooftop garden, described as one of his favorite personal retreats.

Clinton’s public appearances in recent years have drawn increasing concern. Even People magazine has acknowledged that the former president has appeared “more visibly frail” in recent years. During a June 2025 book-signing event, Clinton appeared unsteady, at one point grabbing a pole to stabilize himself as he approached the building. Just two months later, his entourage was observed carrying a Propaq MD medical bag, containing a portable patient monitor and defibrillator, as Bill and Hillary departed the Hamptons. That sighting renewed questions about his cardiac health that have followed him for decades.

Clinton’s medical history is extensive and well-documented. He underwent quadruple-bypass surgery in 2004 after doctors discovered significant arterial blockages. He had a second operation in 2005 for a partially collapsed lung, and received two coronary stents in 2010. In October 2021, he spent nearly a week at UC Irvine Medical Center after a urinary tract infection spread to his bloodstream. In December 2024, he was admitted to MedStar Georgetown University Hospital after developing a fever, though he was released the following day after treatment for the flu.

Despite these challenges, Clinton has continued making public appearances, including attending the Obama Presidential Center dedication in June.

Radar also reported that Clinton may have made changes to his $120 million will, with the suggestion that there could be “surprises” regarding its beneficiaries, though no specifics were provided.

Whatever one’s views of Bill Clinton’s presidency or his party, the reality of a former president’s declining years is a serious issue. We wish the former president well.

(DC Pundit) – Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs has been cleared of criminal charges by the state’s Democratic Attorney General in a pay-to-play investigation involving hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations from a major state contractor, and if you’re shocked by that outcome, you haven’t been paying attention to how Democrats protect their own.

Attorney General Kris Mayes announced Friday that her office would not bring criminal charges against Hobbs over her administration’s dealings with Sunshine Residential Homes. Let’s walk through the numbers, because they are genuinely staggering.

Sunshine donated $200,000 to the Arizona Democratic Party ahead of Hobbs’ contested 2022 victory over Republican Kari Lake. The company then contributed $100,000 to Hobbs’ inaugural fund and another $100,000 to the state Democratic Party in August 2023. Company founder Simon Kottoor and his wife also donated a combined $10,000 directly to Hobbs’ gubernatorial campaigns. Total donations to Democratic causes and Hobbs specifically: $410,000.

What did Sunshine get in return? After the company’s initial requests for a rate increase were rejected, it received a 30 percent reimbursement hike in May 2023, less than six months after Hobbs took office, taking its payment from $149 to $195 per foster-care bed. Sunshine was one of only two providers granted an increase during that entire contracting period.

More evidence Kris Mayes and Katie Hobbs are corrupt.

They actually found MORE evidence of Pay-to-play in the investigation and refused to do anything. https://t.co/8kkQahyxl4

— Tyler Bowyer (@tylerbowyer) August 21, 2026

Hobbs has denied any wrongdoing and claims she played no role in approving the rate increase. She declined to sit for an interview with investigators, choosing instead to submit written statements through her attorneys.

Mayes insists the evidence did not meet the threshold for bribery. “After two years of investigation, consisting of multiple interviews, reviews of campaign-finance records, procurement records, bank documents, and State emails and chats, totaling over one terabyte of data, including more than 100,000 documents, the investigation has not uncovered any evidence of the necessary quid pro quo to support a bribery charge,” she said in a statement.

A Democratic attorney general investigated a Democratic governor and found no evidence of wrongdoing. What a shock.

The story does not end here, however. A separate investigation involving Republican Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell and Arizona’s auditor general remains active and ongoing. That investigation operates outside the protective umbrella of a Democratic AG’s office, which means the scrutiny on Hobbs is not finished.

Hobbs is running for a second four-year term as governor and will face Republican Representative Andy Biggs in November.

(DC Pundit) – Jill Biden has a new theory about what happened during the June 2024 presidential debate that effectively ended her husband’s political career and sent the Democratic Party into a full-blown panic spiral. And it is something else.

During a recent podcast interview with host Jamie Kern Lima, the former First Lady entertained the possibility that Joe Biden may have been drugged before his catastrophic debate performance against Donald Trump, the debate so bad that Democrats and their media allies immediately began calling for Biden to abandon his reelection campaign.

Lima asked Jill Biden whether doctors had ruled out a stroke on the night of the debate. Jill’s response was telling. “Well, they did. They said, I mean, I didn’t say to them, when I was writing my book, I was reflecting, but I didn’t say, ‘God, did Joe have a stroke?’ I just said, ‘Is he OK? Is he OK?'” she said.

When Lima pressed her on what her gut told her happened that night, Jill said she simply did not know. “I mean, there’s all kinds of theories, you know, he had been traveling,” she said. “I know he was tired, he didn’t feel well that day, when I saw him, but there was nothing definitive that I could point to. And I had been on the road for two weeks up until that moment. So, I wasn’t with him. I didn’t see him days before, weeks before. I saw him maybe one hour before.”

Then Lima asked the question that produced the most stunning response of the interview: “There’s no way anyone could have, God forbid, laced his drink or something?”

Jill Biden’s answer: “Who knows? Who knows?”

Jill Biden won't rule out Joe's drink being "laced" before his debate with Trump:

"Who knows, right? Who knows."

She's really still doing this. pic.twitter.com/5w4GADfJ5D

Who knows? The former First Lady of the United States is publicly entertaining the possibility that her husband was poisoned before a nationally televised debate rather than acknowledging what tens of millions of Americans watched with their own eyes for 90 minutes.

Here is what is far more likely: Joe Biden performed the way he did because his cognitive decline, the same decline that Jill Biden has since acknowledged in interviews while laughing about covering it up, had progressed to the point where he could no longer function effectively in a high-pressure, unscripted environment. The man who shuffled across debate stages, lost his train of thought mid-sentence, and stared blankly into the distance was not the victim of a poisoning. He was an elderly man whose mental acuity had been deteriorating for years while his wife and the Democratic Party machine worked to keep that fact hidden from the American public.

The drugging theory is not just implausible, it is an insult to the intelligence of every American who watched that debate and knew exactly what they were seeing. Jill Biden helped put that man on that stage. “Who knows?” is not an acceptable answer.

(DC Pundit) – Picture this: you have just spent years preparing your child for college. You load the car, make the drive, and pull up to the university housing, only to find rows of tents, mountains of trash, and a sprawling homeless encampment directly behind where your kid is going to be living for the next year.

That is exactly what happened to one California mother when she dropped her son off at UC Berkeley, and she made sure the world knew about it.

TV reporter and mom Lyanne Melendez pulled out her phone and documented what she found along the 1150 block of Harrison Street, near student housing and businesses frequented by students, less than three miles from the university’s main campus. She then posted the video directly to X, tagging the city and the university.

“I just dropped my son off at @UCBerkeley housing and as we were approaching we saw this behind his apartments. Shame on @CityofBerkeley @CityofAlbanyCA @UCBerkeleyNews,” Melendez wrote.

— Lyanne Melendez (@LyanneMelendez) August 19, 2026

The California Post visited the area and confirmed what the video showed, numerous tents and makeshift shelters packed closely together near a Tesla service facility, surrounded by significant amounts of personal belongings and debris. Some areas had so little open space that pedestrians had difficulty passing through. Tarps and materials were spread throughout the encampment in every direction.

Out-of-state tuition at UC Berkeley runs approximately $50,000 per year with room and board. Fifty thousand dollars a year, and the university cannot be bothered to ensure that students arriving for their first day of college are not greeted by a scene that looks like a third-world disaster zone.

Berkeley is no stranger to this problem. The city has been engaged in a long-running legal battle over homeless encampments, including a dispute specifically involving the intersection of Harrison Street and Eighth Street, the very area where Melendez filmed her video. The encampment has been a known issue. The city and university have simply chosen not to resolve it.

This is what decades of progressive governance produces. California has poured billions of dollars into homelessness programs. With what results to show for it? Meanwhile, universities like Berkeley continue raising tuition, expanding their administrative bureaucracies, and promoting radical left-wing ideology, while parents paying $50,000 a year drop their children off next to tent cities.

College enrollment is declining nationally as more Americans question whether the return on investment justifies the cost. UC Berkeley is making that question very easy to answer.

(DC Pundit) – Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf has established himself as one of the most dogged law enforcement officials in Michigan when it comes to investigating election integrity. On Sunday evening, after speaking with a whistleblower from inside the Michigan Secretary of State’s office, he dropped a bombshell that every Republican senator sitting on the fence about the SAVE Act needs to hear immediately.

According to Sheriff Leaf, a confidential informant who works for the Michigan Secretary of State’s office came forward with a disturbing account of how non-citizens are ending up on Michigan’s voter rolls, and why it is nearly impossible to catch or remove them once they get there.

Here is what the whistleblower allegedly revealed: non-citizens are being automatically registered to vote when they change their address through the state’s customer and automotive records system. Even more remarkably, that same system is apparently programmed to congratulate those non-citizens and inform them that they have been registered to vote. When the informant brought proof of this to a supervisor, the supervisor claimed county clerks would catch and remove ineligible registrants. Sheriff Leaf says that explanation does not hold up, as clerks only receive access to the Qualified Voter File after the Secretary of State has already registered the person, and the QVF itself does not flag citizenship status. By the time anyone could theoretically catch the error, the non-citizen is already on the rolls.

And once they are on the rolls, the path to casting a ballot is wide open. The individual can request a mail-in ballot or vote in person with an ID card. Polling places do not verify citizenship. The system, as described, has no meaningful checkpoint to prevent a non-citizen from voting in a federal election.

WOW! 🚨🚨🚨MI SOS @JocelynBenson is more crooked than anyone knew!!!@SheriffLeaf confirms;

A whistleblower has revealed that Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson’s election software is programmed to automatically register non-citizens—including illegal aliens—to vote… pic.twitter.com/3s4mHiZk7G

— PattyMI (@PattyLovesTruth) August 19, 2026

Sheriff Leaf says his office has referred the matter to the U.S. Department of Justice for investigation of possible conspiracy to violate 18 U.S.C. § 611, the federal statute governing unlawful voting by non-citizens, specifically for placing non-citizens on the voter rolls and into the jury pool. He is also calling on the Michigan Legislature to act immediately to stop the practice, and is encouraging anyone with additional evidence to contact his office or their local sheriff. His closing message: “You know this is wrong, it’s time to act.”

All of this context makes the behavior of Michigan’s Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson considerably easier to understand. Benson has been refusing to turn over Michigan’s voter rolls to the DOJ for review and removal of ineligible voters. If the whistleblower’s account is accurate, Benson’s resistance to transparency is not a principled stand, it is a cover-up.

This is precisely why the SAVE Act exists and precisely why Democrats are fighting it with everything they have. If non-citizens cannot be registered to vote, they cannot vote. And if they cannot vote, Democrats lose a reliable source of support they have apparently been quietly cultivating for years.

(DC Pundit) – A new CBS News poll has confirmed what many conservatives have suspected for years: the Democratic Party has moved so far left that a majority of its own members now look favorably upon an economic system that has produced poverty, authoritarianism, and mass suffering everywhere it has ever been implemented.

According to the poll, 58% of Democrats now approve of socialism. The highest levels of support come from Democrats with college degrees, which tells you everything you need to know about what American universities have been doing with four years and tens of thousands of dollars in tuition money.

The poll did find that capitalism remains more popular with Americans overall, which is at least somewhat reassuring. But the numbers within the Democratic Party itself are alarming. Unlike the general public, Democrats view socialism more favorably than capitalism. College-educated Democrats are even more likely than their non-degree counterparts to hold a positive view of socialism, and they are also more likely to perceive a growing gap between the wealthy and the middle class, while being less likely to describe the Democratic Party itself as “effective.” That last part is at least self-aware.

Breaking it down further: younger Democrats more than older ones, and white Democrats more than other racial groups, tend to hold the most favorable views of socialism. Democrats also broadly believe socialism would improve their personal finances and that capitalism, on balance, makes them worse off financially.

That last finding is particularly telling. The United States of America, built on free-market capitalism, has produced the highest standard of living, the most technological innovation, and the greatest individual wealth creation in the history of human civilization. The countries that have embraced socialism have produced Venezuela, Cuba, and North Korea.

But sure, capitalism is the problem.

These CBS numbers are deeply alarming.

Democrats overwhelmingly support socialism and overwhelmingly oppose capitalism.

Socialism results in misery and poverty every time it is tried.

We must never allow the socialists to take power. pic.twitter.com/AuIh3TG5MY

— Tom Cotton (@TomCottonAR) August 17, 2026

The uncomfortable truth is that this is not an accident. Decades of left-wing dominance in American higher education have produced generations of graduates who have been taught to view capitalism with suspicion and socialism with romantic idealism, entirely divorced from its historical record. The Soviet Union. Mao’s China. Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge. Every single implementation of socialist ideology at scale has ended in economic collapse, political repression, or both.

None of that history is being taught with any seriousness in the institutions producing these poll numbers. And the Democratic Party, now home to openly socialist politicians at the city, state, and federal level, has stopped even pretending to push back against it.
