In Omar\u2019s video, she is seen saying, \u201cSomalia is our home. It is our heart. We always think about Somalia.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe should go back!\u201d Trump posted on Truth Social.<\/p>\n
Omar is a naturalized citizen, and Minnesota, where she represents, has become the residence of tens of thousands of Somalians due to resettlement.<\/p>\n
The far-left lawmaker herself has long faced accusations of dual loyalty to Somalia and the U.S.<\/p>\n
Conservative pundit Clay Travis has told Minnesota Democratic Rep.\u00a0Ilhan Omar\u00a0to \u201cgo back to\u00a0Somalia\u201d following her recent scathing criticism of the United States under President\u00a0Donald Trump\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n
Travis, co-founder of the Fox-owned sports and political commentary website OutKick, appeared on\u00a0Sean Hannity\u2019s\u00a0Fox News\u00a0show Tuesday evening and reacted angrily to footage of the congresswoman being interviewed by\u00a0Democracy Now!\u00a0and saying the U.S. was becoming \u201cone of the worst countries\u201d in the world under Trump.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I see a clip like that, Sean, presumably Ilhan Omar is a citizen of two different countries,\u201d Travis fumed.<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (TNND) \u2014\u00a0<\/span>President Donald Trump posted to Truth Social, writing that Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar should return to Somalia. The post was a response to Omar\u2019s video declaring Somalia her home while speaking in Somali.<\/p>\n He continued: \u201cIf I hated the country that I was in and I had dual citizenship, wouldn\u2019t you go to the other one? I mean, I don\u2019t give Rosie O\u2019Donnell a lot of credit for anything, but she decided she didn\u2019t like the United States anymore and she left and went to Ireland.\u201d<\/p>\n The conversation then pivoted to mockery of O\u2019Donnell, the chat show host and actress who recently\u00a0relocated to the Republic of Ireland\u00a0rather than endure four more years of Trump.<\/p>\n The Independent has contacted the congresswoman for comment.<\/p>\n Omar made the remarks that so infuriated the right-wing duo in response to Trump\u2019s crackdown on\u00a0anti-ICE protests\u00a0in\u00a0Los Angeles, which saw the president send in the National Guard and Marines to support local law enforcement, against the wishes of California Gov.\u00a0Gavin Newsom\u00a0and L.A. Mayor Karen Bass.<\/p>\n \u201cI grew up in a dictatorship and I don\u2019t even remember ever witnessing anything like that,\u201d Omar said, alluding to her early years in Somalia before she arrived in the U.S. as an asylum seeker aged 12.<\/p>\n \u201cTo have a democracy, a beacon of hope for the world, to now be turned into one of the, you know, one of the worst countries, where the military are in our streets without any regard for people\u2019s constitutional rights, while our president\u2019s spending millions of dollars propping himself up like a failed dictator with a military parade, it is really shocking.<\/p>\n Rep. Omar has often been a lightning rod for conservative abuse (AP)<\/p>\n \u201cAnd it should be a wake up call for all Americans to say this is not the country we were born in, this is not the country we believe in, this is not the country our founding fathers imagined, and this is not the country that is supported by our Constitution, our ideals, our values, and we should all collectively be out in the streets rejecting what is taking place this week.\u201d<\/p>\n Kentucky Republican Senator Rand Paul previously offered to buy Omar \u201ca ticket to go visit Somalia\u201d back in 2019, suggesting that \u201cmaybe after she\u2019s visited Somalia for a while, she might come back and appreciate America more.\u201d<\/p>\n The progressive congresswoman has long been a hate figure to conservatives, who have often targeted her over her willingness to criticise Israeli lobbying interests in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n Travis, for his part, describes himself as a \u201cradical moderate\u201d and claims to have been a lifelong Democrat until Trump appeared on the scene a decade ago.<\/p>\n He co-hosts the talk radio program The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, which replaced Rush Limbaugh\u2019s long-running broadcast in 2021, a huge influence on the emergence of the present populist American media environment dominated by Trump, MAGA, and Fox.<\/p>\n \u201cMy Mother Didn\u2019t Raise a Fool.\u201d \u2014 Senator John Kennedy Humiliates AOC After Exposing Her Real Motive Behind the Government Shutdown What began as a tense Capitol Hill hearing turned into one of the most viral political showdowns of the year. During a fiery debate on the government shutdown, Rep.<\/p>\n Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) accused the Senate of \u201cserving corporate greed.\u201d But Senator John Kennedy \u2014 known for his sharp wit and Southern composure \u2014 calmly fired back: \u201cCongresswoman, do you actually know what\u2019s in the bill you\u2019re protesting, or is this just another performance for Twitter?\u201d The room went silent. When AOC replied that the bill was \u201cwritten by lobbyists,\u201d Kennedy leaned in and said, \u201cWell, ma\u2019am, my mother didn\u2019t raise a fool \u2014 and she sure didn\u2019t raise a liar. So let\u2019s talk about what\u2019s actually in this bill.\u201d He then read sections funding veterans\u2019 healthcare, small business aid, and public safety programs, exposing how the shutdown hurt working families more than the wealthy. \u201cYou say you\u2019re fighting for the people,\u201d he said, \u201cbut the only thing you\u2019re feeding is chaos.<\/p>\n \u201d When AOC tried to interrupt, Kennedy added, \u201cWhen moral stands become political theater, that\u2019s not moral \u2014 that\u2019s manipulation. And before you call that \u2018mansplaining,\u2019 this isn\u2019t about gender, it\u2019s about governing.\u201d The exchange exploded online \u2014 clips went viral under hashtags like\u00a0<\/p>\n #KennedyVsAOC\u00a0and\u00a0#MyMotherDidntRaiseAFool, gaining millions of views within hours. Kennedy\u2019s calm, fact-based approach won praise across the spectrum, while AOC\u2019s defenders accused him of \u201cSouthern condescension.\u201d But things escalated when Kennedy\u2019s office revealed internal documents suggesting some progressives backed the shutdown as a 2028 political strategy, not a moral stance. Kennedy later told reporters, \u201cThis was never about conscience \u2014 it was about control. Some folks would rather burn down the government if it means they stand tallest in the ashes.<\/p>\n \u201d AOC clapped back on X, saying, \u201cWhat\u2019s truly immoral is a government that works for billionaires while Americans go hungry.\u201d Kennedy\u2019s reply? \u201cMa\u2019am, I don\u2019t argue with people looking for applause. I work for people looking for paychecks.\u201d Analysts called the clash \u201ca defining moment of the post-shutdown narrative.\u201d Georgetown\u2019s Dr. Allison Monroe noted, \u201cKennedy weaponized calmness. AOC weaponized outrage. Both performed for different audiences \u2014 and both succeeded.\u201d In the days that followed, Kennedy appeared on major networks, insisting, \u201cShutting down the government to make a point is like burning down your house to protest the rent.\u201d Even critics admitted his remarks \u201cstripped away theater and revealed motive.\u201d For Kennedy, \u201cMy mother didn\u2019t raise a fool\u201d wasn\u2019t just a clever line \u2014 it was a message against political posturing. Asked later if he regretted his tone, Kennedy smiled and said, \u201cI don\u2019t mind being unpopular for telling the truth. My job isn\u2019t to win popularity contests \u2014 it\u2019s to keep this country from becoming a circus.\u201d And in a week of shutdowns and showdowns, those words became the line America couldn\u2019t stop replaying.<\/p>\n But amid all the internet-fueled speculation, there\u2019s one important fact being overlooked: Trump\u2019s most recent medical evaluation gave him a clean bill of health.<\/p>\n Captain Sean Barbabella, Trump\u2019s personal physician, confirmed earlier this year that the president passed an extensive physical at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. The five-hour exam included blood tests, cardiac screening, and a neurological evaluation\u2014specifically, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, on which Trump reportedly scored a perfect 30 out of 30. At the time, Dr. Barbabella stated that Trump was in top form, both mentally and physically.<\/p>\n In recent weeks, Trump has maintained a packed public schedule. After spending the weekend at Camp David, he returned to Washington and was photographed inspecting construction work on the White House lawn, standing confidently on a wooden plank laid over the grass while chatting with workers.<\/p>\n While critics and online commentators continue to dissect every wrinkle in his suit and every angle of every photo, Trump\u2019s official medical records\u2014and his energetic campaign trail appearances\u2014tell a far less dramatic story.<\/p>\n Bad things happen to us all throughout life. But all of a sudden our faith in humanity is restored when we hear stories about compassionate people who do good to others.<\/strong>\u00a0To many of us it seems like people are getting worse in general, especially to those who were hurt in the past, but there are still people who are always there to offer a helping hand.<\/strong><\/p>\n What happened on a Highway under a bridge on Interstate 696 in Huntington Woods, Michigan, left everyone in awe and hopefulness. People got really angry, as we all know how it feels like to be stuck on a highway without moving a single inch for hours, but when they found out the reason why 13 trailer trucks were placed in line under a bridge blocking the entire road, they weren\u2019t rushing anymore\u2026<\/p>\n Initially, the truck drivers gathered to help State trooper Michael Shaw who got an emergency call about a person trying to commit suicide by jumping off the bridge.<\/p>\n Shaw got a great idea, but for the idea to came to its fruition, he needed additional help. He rushed to call a traffic cop and asked him to redirect the traffic elsewhere to avoid even bigger mess. The truck drivers were more than happy to assist!<\/p>\n By parking under the bridge, as seen in the picture, they lowered the height of the jump so the man could survive with less injuries which would otherwise be a fatal fall. What\u2019s even better, there\u2019s a happy ending of this story because after four hours of negotiation the man was taken off the bridge and offered psychological help.<\/p>\n The day was saved, thanks to State trooper Michael Shaw, the heroic truck drivers and all the people who assisted to save this person\u2019s life. We are thankful that there are still people out there like these kindhearted drivers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In Omar\u2019s video, she is seen saying, \u201cSomalia is our home.
