Ilhan Omar’s Father Was a Colonel Loyal to Brutal Somali Dictator, Served as Senior Officer During Genocide of Isaaq People – Then ‘Misrepresented Himself as a Refugee’
October 14, 2026

We now know why Ilhan Omar and her family lied on immigration forms and changed their name when they entered the United States.

Between 1981 and 1991, the Somali military in which Colonel Nur Omar Mohamed, Ilhan Omar’s father served as a senior officer, executed a brutal and systematic campaign of genocide targeting the Isaaq people of the modern day Republic of Somaliland.

This was first reported back in July 2025 at the Somaliland Chronicle in July 2025 but received little attention.

The Somaliland Chronicle reported:

This dark chapter in Africa’s history, which was known as the Isaaq Genocide, was a merciless military campaign that resulted in the killing of over 200,000 Isaaq civilians. It also involved widespread forced displacement, scorched‑earth destruction of the second and third largest cities (Hargeisa and Burao), aerial bombardement of almost every other single city, town and village in Somaliland, and two decades of large‑scale red-terror style tactics against the civilian population of Somaliland…

…At the heart of this brutal military regime was Colonel Nur Omar Mohamed, Ilhan Omar’s father. His rank, authority, membership of the regime Daarood clan, and 10+ years of having climbed the hierarchy in Somalia military to the rank of Colonel, placed him squarely in the Somali military’s command hierarchy during and at the height of its Isaaq genocide campaign. Based on his position, loyalty to the regime, and his role in the military, it is virtually certain that he had intimate knowledge of and involvement in the planning, conception, direction and execution of the genocide.

Today the children of former Somali dictator Mohamed Siad Barre, whose brutal regime has been linked to the deaths of as many as 200,000 people, are reportedly living quiet suburban lives in Columbus, Ohio.

According to an investigation by the New York Post, Barre’s son, Ayanle Mohamed Siad, and daughter, Deka Mohamed Siad, settled in the United States after their father was overthrown in 1991. Ilhan Omar’s father was a colonel in his regime.

As Alpha News reported in 2021:

Previous ponderings about the life of Omar’s father in communist Somalia have earned the ire of self-described “fact-checkers” like the people at Snopes, who criticized those drawing connections between Nur Omar Mohamed and Barre’s dictatorship in 2019. Since then, however, new facts (chiefly the account Faraton gave to Sahan Journal) have emerged, strengthening this connection.

The Gateway Pundit has repeatedly documented how poorly vetted Somali networks from the same clan-and-regime ecosystem have exploited American welfare and healthcare systems.

We previously reported that Rep. Ilhan Omar’s father, Nur Said Elmi Mohamed, served as a high-ranking official under the same Barre regime before changing names and entering the United States. Omar’s family story and her district’s massive Feeding Our Future and daycare scandals are part of the same pattern of failed refugee vetting and clan patronage transplanted onto U.S. soil.

Far Left Communist Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar’s father and other Somalian war crimes perpetrators are currently living illegally in the United States.

The Gateway Pundit has obtained information that is damning for Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.

Omar’s father, Nur Omar Mohamed (aka Nur Said Elmi Mohamed), is connected to the former dictator in Somalia, Said Barre.  Nur and other former Barre accomplices are living in the US illegally.

Omar’s father Mohamed, is living in the US.  He and other Somalians like Yusuf Abdi Ali, who killed thousands for Barre, escaped to the West and were not vetted properly before entering the country.  Barre was a dictator and was connected to Cuban dictator Fidel Castro as well as other dictators around the globe.

Ali is a convicted war criminal who did the killing himself.  Ali has been located in the US working as security at Dulles International Airport and driving for Uber in 2019.  He reportedly lived at one time in Alexandria, Virginia.  Ali was a Colonel in the Somalian Army’s 5th Mechanized Brigade in 1987 and was a graduate of the Pentegon’s Program for Foreign Officers in 1986.  He’s also a war criminal in response to his actions in Somalia.

Nur, Representative Omar’s father, appears to have been a party propagandist under the dictator and was responsible for ‘ideological’ aspects of the Red-Green revolution.  (He worked for the Marxist/Stalinist regime under dictator Baare as a teacher of teachers.) This could have included providing the ideological/political justification for the massacres of the late eighties.

It is not a secret that Ilhan Omar’s father illegally entered the United States.

The Nur family was well connected in the country led by the Marxist regime.  Young Omar went to kindergarten at age four, their family lived in a secure compound in Mogadishu.  When the regime was overtaken, the family caught a plane to escape the country.  The average GDP per capita in Somalia was only $187 dollars in 2010 twenty years after they fled the country when the regime fell. Obviously, Nur’s family was a privileged family.

https://twitter.com/MaxamuudAar/status/1150906290480267264

According to a 2016 article on Omar, when the Marxist regime was being overtaken the secure compound that the family lived in was under attack by 20 armed men, somehow the family escaped.  It is not clear how.  Either the family had superior armed guards within their compound or they bribed the attackers and sent them on their way (or the story is a complete fabrication).

Both Ali and Nur escaped Somalia after the fall of Barre.  Because they were no longer safe there and would have been put on trial and shot if caught, they exited the country. Both ended up in the US and both hid the fact that they worked for a totalitarian regime. Both lied on their Form N-400, Application for Naturalization about their communist background.  (They had to or they wouldn’t be here.)

As you can see below:

The Immigration and Nationality Act (I.N.A.) contains a prohibition on naturalization for anyone involved, within the last ten years, with a group that advocates or teaches opposition to all organized government; or involved with the Communist Party or any other totalitarian party of the U.S. or any foreign state; or who advocates world communism or totalitarian dictatorship even without formal group membership. (See I.N.A. Section 313).”

Both Nur and Yusuf should be disqualified from permanent US residency and a revocation of their US citizenship should take place.

Representative Omar reportedly lied after she married her brother in order to assist him in obtaining US citizenship.

This would obviously disqualify Omar and her brother from legal citizenship.

It looks like illegal citizenship is all in the family for Omar and her family.  Like father, like daughter (like son).

Why Europe Depends on the U.S. for Intelligence

Why Europe Depends on the U.S. for Intelligence

Why Europe Depends on the U.S. for Intelligence
October 14, 2026

Europe depends on U.S. intelligence because it lacks comparable satellite, surveillance, and collection capabilities, while European replacements remain years away.

Europe depends on the United States for intelligence because it never built the systems the U.S. operates. It has no missile early-warning satellites, few reconnaissance satellites, and no EU-level intelligence service capable of collecting intelligence. It relies on U.S.-built AWACS aircraft and surveillance drones, along with a U.S.-sponsored NATO fusion centre. Funded European replacements are not expected to become operational until 2029 or the early 2030s.

On the evening of October 12, Russia fired five Iskander-M ballistic missiles at Kyiv from its Bryansk region, according to the Ukrainian Air Force. The missiles hit civilian infrastructure. In a Facebook post, Zelensky said, “There was no warning from our partners regarding this strike.” He did not identify the partner involved.

Air Force spokesman Yurii Ihnat said Ukraine receives intelligence from partners on Russian strategic aviation, ships in the Black and Caspian Seas, and ballistic missile launches from Russia’s northern regions and occupied Crimea. He said this information sometimes fails to reach Ukraine, cited technical issues, and noted that this was not the first such instance. The Air Force is investigating why it received no launch information.

The EU’s Institute for Security Studies reported that U.S. satellites provide round-the-clock intelligence across the entire front line. It concluded that Europe’s ability to match the quality and quantity of that intelligence is limited.

Europe’s own defense also relies on American support. NATO’s Intelligence Fusion Centre, which provides all-source intelligence to the alliance, is a U.S.-sponsored organization.

Space-based missile launch warnings for Ukraine and NATO come from American satellites. The U.S. Space Force has launched 12 satellites carrying SBIRS or STSS missile-warning payloads. Its replacement constellation, Next Gen OPIR, will add five more. Allies receive the data through the Shared Early Warning System, a U.S.-only program that distributes American missile-warning data to select foreign nations.

Europe has no operational equivalent. The EU’s space-based early-warning program, ODIN’S EYE, began in 2021 as a €7.5 million EU-funded study, followed by a €90 million design-phase contract in 2023. Germany and France have since signed an agreement to implement the system. Their joint JEWEL framework targets initial capability in the early 2030s.

NATO’s airborne surveillance fleet is also American-built. The alliance’s 14 AWACS aircraft are Boeing E-3 Sentries. NATO chose the Boeing E-7 as their replacement in 2023 but abandoned the plan after the U.S. Air Force withdrew in July 2025.

In July 2026, NATO selected Saab’s GlobalEye, with replacement aircraft due by 2035. NATO also collectively owns five U.S.-built RQ-4D ground surveillance drones, based on the U.S. Air Force’s Global Hawk.

European countries operate reconnaissance satellites, but in small numbers. France operates three CSO optical satellites and three CERES signals intelligence satellites.

Germany’s military operates the three-satellite SARah radar system alongside five older SAR-Lupe satellites. SARah’s satellites were launched on SpaceX Falcon 9 rockets, illustrating dependence on American launch services. Germany’s foreign intelligence service, the BND, has no satellite system of its own and depends on commercial satellite operators.

Much of the commercial imagery available to the West is purchased through Washington. In May 2022, the National Reconnaissance Office awarded imagery contracts to Maxar, Planet and BlackSky, with options extending through 2032. Maxar’s contract is worth up to $3.24 billion and BlackSky’s up to $1.02 billion, according to company filings. The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency separately awarded Maxar a contract worth up to $192 million to supply imagery to unidentified allied nations.

European governments also purchase imagery directly from American companies. In January 2025, the Netherlands Ministry of Defense awarded Maxar a €13.6 million contract for four years of platform access, including the ability to task its satellites. Ukraine could still buy commercial imagery directly during the March 2025 suspension of its access to the U.S. government portal.

The main European commercial alternative is Finland’s ICEYE. Germany funded additional ICEYE radar imagery for Ukraine through a contract with Rheinmetall.

The intelligence spending gap between the U.S. and Europe is enormous. For fiscal year 2026, the U.S. requested $81.9 billion for the National Intelligence Program and $33.6 billion for the Military Intelligence Program, totaling $115.5 billion. That compares with about £4.6 billion for Britain’s agencies, €1.51 billion for Germany’s BND, and €1.3 billion for France’s DGSE and DRSD. The fiscal year 2027 U.S. military intelligence request rose to $50 billion.

The EU has no intelligence-collection service or budget of its own to close that gap. Its civilian intelligence body, the EU Intelligence and Situation Centre (INTCEN), has no collection capability and no separate budget; its staff and funding come from the European External Action Service. INTCEN analyzes only the intelligence that member states voluntarily provide.

An earlier attempt by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to establish an EU intelligence-collection service was blocked by national governments. The EU Satellite Centre, the EU’s geospatial intelligence agency, operated on an overall budget of €34 million (approximately $38 million) with 141 staff in 2018.

The core signals intelligence partnership also excludes continental Europe. Five Eyes is an intelligence alliance comprising Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States. Its members share signals intelligence: information collected by intercepting communications and electronic emissions, including radio, radar and telecommunications traffic. France and Germany are not members.

NATO’s shared budget does not cover these capabilities. The alliance’s common-funded budgets total up to €5.3 billion (approximately $5.93 billion) for 2026. The U.S. share is 14.9 percent, the same as Germany’s. NATO states that national contributions are the largest component of its funding. The American satellites, early-warning network, and intelligence agencies on which the alliance relies are funded through U.S. national budgets.

Europe has begun funding replacements, but delivery remains years away. The EU’s IRIS² secure communications constellation has a €10.6 billion budget (approximately $11.86 billion), with deployment scheduled for 2029–2030.

Germany plans SATCOMBw4, a network of about 200 military satellites valued at €10 billion. The first approximately 40 satellites could enter service from 2029, as part of €35 billion in German space security spending planned through 2030. France has contracted a successor to CERES, due by 2032. Until these systems become operational, Europe will remain dependent on U.S. intelligence and face significant gaps if Washington restricts access.

BRUTAL SHOWDOWN: Republican Bruce Blakeman TORCHES Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul in Fiery New York Debate

BRUTAL SHOWDOWN: Republican Bruce Blakeman TORCHES Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul in Fiery New York Debate

BRUTAL SHOWDOWN: Republican Bruce Blakeman TORCHES Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul in Fiery New York Debate
October 14, 2026

Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman came loaded for bear Tuesday night and left New York’s disastrous Democrat Governor Kathy Hochul on defense for the full hour of their only gubernatorial debate.

With the race tightening into a dead heat and early voting weeks away, Blakeman repeatedly forced Hochul to answer for her sanctuary-state policies, sky-high costs, and record of failure while she defaulted to blaming President Trump and refusing accountability.

A Pollfinity survey released the day of the debate showed Hochul clinging to a razor-thin 47%–44% lead, with the rest undecided or supporting others.

One of Blakeman’s strongest moments came when he confronted Hochul over the crushing financial burden facing New York families.

The Republican pointed to the dramatic differences between neighboring Pennsylvania and New York, arguing that the Empire State’s energy policies have left residents paying the price.

“On the Pennsylvania side of the border, people are driving around in brand-new Cadillac Escalades,” Blakeman said.

He contrasted those vehicles with the aging, rusted trucks he said New Yorkers were driving because of Hochul’s policies.

The exchange highlighted a central argument of Blakeman’s campaign: New Yorkers are being squeezed by high taxes, soaring utility bills, and an increasingly expensive cost of living.

Hochul defended her administration’s record while attempting to blame President Trump for utility bills.

“Kathy, Donald Trump didn’t raise utility rates 48 times. You did! Donald Trump didn’t increase our utility bills by 50% since you became governor. You did!” Blakeman fired back.

WATCH:

Blakeman: “I’ve said it many times, so I’ll repeat it. When you look at your energy bill, get your energy bill out tonight. Only about 30% of your payment actually goes for energy. The rest goes for taxes. Yes, Kathy Hochul taxes your energy bill as well, and excessive delivery costs that are merely trying to masquerade rate hikes and her slush fund, where she collects money every month from you, billions of dollars, and invests in science projects like wind turbines in the middle of the ocean or solar farms in upstate New York that are taking away our rich farmland, which, by the way, are covered under snow three months out of the year.

“It’s very expensive. She’s paying billions of dollars to foreign corporations for these. And guess what? That’s why we’re in an energy crisis.

“I would extract the natural gas from the Marcellus Shale. We’ll get rid of that green energy scam of Kathy Hochul, and I will cut utility bills in half, just like they did in Pennsylvania.”

WATCH:

The most devastating exchange came when Blakeman confronted Hochul over the human cost of her sanctuary policies. He listed specific cases enabled by her refusal to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement:

  • A 14-year-old girl raped in New York by an illegal migrant.
  • Four Irondequoit residents killed recently by an illegal migrant, including two children under the age of five.
  • Two Nassau County women in their 30s killed by an illegal migrant.

Blakeman asked point-blank: “Will you apologize to that 14-year-old girl, whose life is forever changed and her family, and the families of those who were killed? The ones that’ll never get to sit another Thanksgiving dinner, never be able to open their presents under the Christmas tree? Will you apologize to them, and will you please return Sheridan Gorman’s parents’ calls to talk to you about your sanctuary policy?”

Hochul dodged, offering only generic platitudes: “You know, any crime is heartbreaking. There’s a family left with a huge hole in their heart. And I abhor all crimes, regardless of the perpetrator…”

She never apologized or addressed the specific victims or the parents whose calls she had not returned. Blakeman also noted she had spent roughly $8 billion on illegal migrants while giving them more benefits than many New Yorkers receive.

Blakeman has long said he rejected sanctuary policies in Nassau County and would end them statewide.

Bruce Blakeman: “We have an epidemic of crime from these illegal migrants. There are 16,000 detainers out there for people who committed 52,000 crimes in our state, and you won’t let local law enforcement cooperate with ICE to pick them up and get them out of this state. This never would have happened, Kathy, if it weren’t for your policies.”

“You have invited criminals to come into our state and prey on our communities. And now you won’t let local law enforcement cooperate with ICE in an orderly way like we did in my county. We didn’t have any incidents in my county because we were allowed to cooperate with local law enforcement. But you took that tool away. The reason why that happened is because of you, Kathy Hochul, and your immigration policies where you actually invite people into our state, give them free everything, and you don’t care whether they’re criminals or not.”

WATCH:

Blakeman also challenged Hochul over state spending on migrants, contrasting the cost of migrant assistance with funding for law enforcement.

The Nassau County executive defended his public safety record and said his administration provides police officers with the resources necessary to protect residents.

Blakeman: “U.S. News & World Report says I have the safest county in America. So I back law enforcement, and I back the laws of both our federal government and our state government. And I give our law enforcement professionals the tools they need to keep us safe. But you say you spent $4 billion on law enforcement. Well, you spent $8 billion on illegal migrants and gave them more benefits than New Yorkers get. How does that make any sense?”

WATCH:

Another fiery moment came when Blakeman confronted Hochul over New York’s criminal justice laws, retail theft, and her handling of the state’s prison staffing crisis.

Blakeman: “Well, first of all, she’ll never give Donald Trump any accolades for sealing our borders. Maybe that’s why the shootings are down. Maybe that’s why all the fentanyl deaths are down. Not by anything that you did. But let me say this about crime.

“If you walk into any CVS or Walgreens and you want to buy a bottle of shampoo, in Kathy Hochul’s world, you got to ring a buzzer. A store clerk has to come out, unlock a glass door for you to buy a bottle of shampoo in New York State. It’s because we have a revolving door of criminality: cashless bail, Raise the Age, the HALT Act. And you talk about militias? You’re the only one on this stage that has a militia.

”You have two: the National Guard and the State Guard. And you have the National Guard at the cost of $1 billion a year to the taxpayers because you fired corrections officers who said, ‘These prisons are not only unsafe for corrections officers, they’re not safe for the prisoners.’ And you fired them and put the National Guard in there. You’re the one that used the militia, not me.”

WATCH:

Blakeman also hammered Hochul over the dropped “Cornell 7” sexual assault case. As an ex-officio trustee of Cornell and the governor who oversees roughly $150 million in annual state funding to the university, she failed to demand an independent investigation after the local district attorney dropped the charges.

“Kathy Hochul has already prejudged this case… Where were you? What did you do for the trustee of Cornell University?” Blakeman charged. “You were the governor of the state. You funded Cornell University to the tune of $150 million a year. As a partner of the state of New York and as a trustee and as governor, you didn’t call for an independent investigation. When you find out that the district attorney was dropping the case… Shame on you.”

Hochul’s response fell flat: “That’s pretty pathetic to blame me for what happened in a fraternity.” Blakeman pressed: “Why didn’t you call the investigation afterwards? Do you deny that you were a trustee there?”

Blakeman saved some of his sharpest attacks for the final stretch of Tuesday night’s sole New York gubernatorial debate, unloading on Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul’s cozy alliance with radical New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

While Hochul spent most of the hour trying to hang President Trump around Blakeman’s neck, the Republican challenger flipped the script and forced her to answer for embracing a democratic socialist who has made Jewish New Yorkers feel less safe.

Trump-Appointed Judge Hands Fake News CNN, MS NOW, and Politico Indefinite White House Access – Blocks President’s Ban in Preliminary Injunction

Trump-Appointed Judge Hands Fake News CNN, MS NOW, and Politico Indefinite White House Access – Blocks President’s Ban in Preliminary Injunction

Trump-Appointed Judge Hands Fake News CNN, MS NOW, and Politico Indefinite White House Access – Blocks President’s Ban in Preliminary Injunction
October 14, 2026

Judge Timothy J. Kelly

A Trump-appointed federal judge on Tuesday night handed a major victory to the Fake News industrial complex, blocking President Donald Trump’s effort to ban CNN, MS NOW (the rebranded failure formerly known as MSNBC), and Politico from the White House.

U.S. District Judge Timothy J. Kelly, appointed by Trump in 2017, granted a preliminary injunction that indefinitely maintains access for reporters from the three outlets. The order prevents administration officials (except the President himself) from enforcing the September 18, 2026, revocation of their “hard pass” credentials while the lawsuit proceeds. Plaintiffs were required to post a laughable $1 nominal bond.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump announced the ban on Truth Social on September 18, stating he was “proud to announce that, effective immediately,” he was banning the outlets “as a result of their constant ‘reporting’ FAKE NEWS.”

He specifically called out MS NOW’s name change due to “lack of viewership and credibility” and Politico’s “illegal and ridiculous $8 Million Dollar subscription” from the Biden administration—“an All Time Record… to keep them ‘alive.’ Seems like corruption to me!”

Trump warned that “Other Fake News Media Outlets to follow” and argued media should not be allowed to constantly report “FICTION and LIES” about the President, the administration, or the country.

When asked the next day about a “particular reason,” Trump said it was “really just cumulative stories over the last two years” of outlets that “purposely write negative news” to “diminish the Republicans and a Republican administration.” He added he would “love it” if they “could straighten themselves out.”

The outlets sued, alleging Fifth Amendment due process violations and First Amendment retaliation and viewpoint discrimination.

Kelly, who previously ruled in favor of Jim Acosta’s hard pass in 2018, found the plaintiffs likely to succeed on all three claims.

In a 26-page decision, Kelly cited D.C. Circuit precedent (Sherrill v. Knight and Karem v. Trump) holding that hard passes create a protected liberty interest requiring adequate process, including advance notice of standards and sanctions.

The court emphasized Trump’s own statements as evidence of a causal link between the outlets’ negative coverage and the ban.

Kelly wrote that “President Trump likely banned Plaintiffs from the White House because he believes that their reporting is generally inaccurate and biased against him.”

He rejected the administration’s later national security justifications as “post-hoc,” noting Trump’s initial announcement and follow-up comments focused on “Fake News,” negativity, and election coverage rather than classified information.

Even while ruling against the administration, Kelly wrote: “no one should interpret the Court’s decision to suggest that President Trump’s concerns about accuracy and fairness in the media’s reporting are unfounded, or that the government is powerless when its true aim is to protect national security when classified information is unlawfully disclosed.”

This is not the first time Judge Kelly has ruled against the Trump White House in a high-profile press-access dispute.

In November 2018, Kelly ordered the administration to temporarily restore CNN reporter Jim Acosta’s White House press credential after an explosive confrontation during a presidential press conference.

Now, nearly eight years later, Kelly has again intervened in a dispute between Trump and CNN.

As The Gateway Pundit reported on September 24, Kelly previously issued a temporary restraining order restoring White House access to CNN, MS NOW, and Politico.

That order required administration officials, excluding Trump personally, to reinstate press credentials that had been revoked around September 18.

Trump has previously said the case would likely go to appeal because outlets that “only write negatively” and traffic in unnamed sources “shouldn’t be allowed access to the most important Office anywhere in the World.”

Jen Psaki, who lied to the press and the American people about the vegetable in the White House known as Joe Biden for years, had the nerve to raise her obnoxious voice to criticize Trump’s new press secretary Katie Zacharia on her first day, today.

This is the same woman who was allegedly negotiating a deal for her own show on MSNBC while she was still serving as White House press secretary.

This is the same woman who was famous for saying she would ‘circle back’ about a dozen times a day because she didn’t know the answer to a question.

Yet she has the nerve to throw stones.

From Twitchy:

The knives are out today for newly appointed White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia, who held her first press briefing on Tuesday. Some are saying that her career is already over, and she’ll have a shorter tenure than Anthony Scaramucci. As our own Just Mindy reported just a bit ago, CBS News senior White House reporter Jennifer Jacobs has informed us that White House Director of Communications Steven Cheung has moved into Karoline Leavitt’s old office, leaving Zacharia with the small corner office.

Her debut was nothing spectacular, but former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, who made the lateral move to MS NOW host, says the briefing was “basically an SNL skit,” but we have to watch her show tonight for her to circle back to learn more (we won’t be watching).

Here’s Paki’s tweet:

She got an earful from other Twitter/X users.

Here’s a reminder of what Psaki’s tenure as press secretary was like:

She should probably just sit this one out.

WHOA! Republican Mike Collins Drops a Jeffrey Epstein Sized BOMB on Democrat Jon Ossoff in Georgia Senate Debate (VIDEO)

WHOA! Republican Mike Collins Drops a Jeffrey Epstein Sized BOMB on Democrat Jon Ossoff in Georgia Senate Debate (VIDEO)

WHOA! Republican Mike Collins Drops a Jeffrey Epstein Sized BOMB on Democrat Jon Ossoff in Georgia Senate Debate (VIDEO)
October 13, 2026

Screencap of Twitter/X video.

For months now, people on the left have been trying, unsuccessfully, to tie President Trump to the disgraced, deceased, and shady investor Jeffrey Epstein. They have nothing but they keep pushing it because they think it sounds effective.

Tonight, during the Georgia Senate debate between Republican Mike Collins and Democrat Jon Ossoff, Collins dropped a bomb on Ossoff that was all about his ties to Epstein.

One of Ossoff’s biggest donors is billionaire Reid Hoffman, who was a close and personal friend of Jeffrey Epstein. Reid Hoffman is also a major donor to James Talarico in Texas. Funny how you never hear Democrats complaining about this particular billionaire, isn’t it?

This description of the exchange by CBS News doesn’t do it justice:

Both candidates attacked each other over Jeffrey Epstein. Collins brought up that Ossoff’s campaign has drawn support from Silicon Valley investor Reid Hoffman, a major Democratic Party donor who had meetings with Epstein. (Hoffman has said he “only knew Jeffrey Epstein because of a fundraising relationship with MIT, which I very much regret.”)

In response, Ossoff argued that Collins voted to cover up government records on Epstein during his time in Congress, referring to a set of unsuccessful votes to release the Epstein files in the summer of 2025. A bill to release the files ultimately passed late last year by a near-unanimous margin after Mr. Trump backed the legislation…

Collins said that he did vote to release the files, emphasized Ossoff’s connection to Hoffman again and said the “call’s coming from inside the house.”

When pressed by Collins to condemn Hoffman, Ossoff said that Mr. Trump was named “a thousand times in the Epstein files,” and repeated that Collins voted to cover up the files.

Watch the video to get the reality of it. This was a political slam dunk:

Ask yourself this question.

Why is it the job of Mike Collins and not the media, to point out that one of Ossoff’s biggest donors was pals with Jeffrey Epstein?
