A new poll has revealed growing disapproval of Donald Trump, with a surprising number of voters favoring another impeachment. Trump remains the only U.S. president in history to be impeached twice\u2014first in 2019 over his phone call with Ukraine\u2019s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and again in 2021 for inciting the January 6 Capitol riots. Though acquitted both times, his controversies continue to divide the nation.<\/p>\n
According to a\u00a0Lake Research Partners poll<\/strong>\u00a0commissioned by\u00a0Free Speech For People<\/em>,\u00a046% of likely voters in swing Congressional districts support impeaching Trump again<\/strong>, with 45% expressing \u201cstrong support.\u201d In addition,\u00a0<\/p>\n Constitutional attorneys leading the\u00a0Impeach Trump Again<\/p>\n <\/em>\u00a0campaign have outlined\u00a0<\/p>\n With swing-district voters increasingly dissatisfied, the poll highlights growing momentum behind renewed impeachment calls.<\/p>\n Federal officials announced this week that nearly half of all immigrants in the greater Minneapolis area were found to have committed some form of immigration fraud.<\/p>\n The findings came during a September enforcement sweep and included cases involving sham marriages, falsified death certificates, and other schemes, according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Joseph Edley.<\/p>\n \u201cBut the revelation was no great surprise to those of us who have followed the settlement of some 100,000 Somali immigrants in Minnesota over the past three decades,\u201d writes Scott Johnson for the\u00a0New York Post.<\/p>\n In 2008, the State Department temporarily suspended a family reunification program used by Somali immigrants after DNA testing revealed that about 80 percent of claimed family relationships were not valid.<\/p>\n Officials have cited the episode as an example of persistent concerns over immigration fraud within the community.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd when it comes to \u201cbizarre schemes,\u201d Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) serves as Exhibit A,\u201d Johnson noted.<\/p>\n Omar (D-Minn.) has faced longstanding allegations that she married her brother in order to help him obtain legal status in the United States, accusations she has not directly addressed, Johnson added.<\/p>\n In 2016, while Omar was running for the Minnesota state legislature, questions surfaced on a local Somali discussion board suggesting that she had a religious, but not legal, marriage with Ahmed Hirsi, the father of her children.<\/p>\n Public records, however, showed that in 2009 she had legally married Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, whom several members of the Somali community identified online as her brother. Omar remained legally married to Elmi during her 2016 campaign, though her campaign website listed Hirsi as her husband and made no mention of Elmi.<\/p>\n It appeared that Omar had married her brother for some fraudulent purpose.<\/em><\/p>\n As if to put an exclamation point on the scam, the Omar-Elmi marriage license was executed by Wilecia Harris, a Christian minister, despite the couple\u2019s Muslim faith.<\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n When I asked the Omar campaign about her marriages, a criminal defense attorney responded with a message accusing me of bigotry \u2014 and failing to respond to my questions.<\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n This has been Omar\u2019s modus operandi ever since.<\/em><\/p>\n To this day, the reason for her marriage to Elmi \u2014 from whom, she says, she separated in 2011, but which didn\u2019t officially end until 2017 \u2014 remains unclear.<\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n One Somali source told the Daily Mail that Omar claimed she was trying to help her brother get US student loans.<\/em><\/p>\n Other Somalis in Minneapolis told me that Elmi had been living an openly gay lifestyle in London, as amply depicted in then-public social media posts.<\/em><\/p>\n The marriage, they believed, was a family ploy to remove him from his life in London (to which he later returned).<\/em><\/p>\n In 2018, Omar was elected to Congress. Midway through her first term, documents from a state campaign finance investigation revealed that she had filed joint tax returns with Ahmed Hirsi while she was still legally married to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi. Internal campaign records also showed aides debating how to address questions about her marital history.<\/p>\n Campaign consultant Ben Goldfarb privately noted that the situation was difficult to explain without making it more confusing.<\/p>\n Omar has consistently denied that Elmi is her brother, calling the allegations \u201cbaseless.\u201d However, investigators who have reviewed available records have said they found no evidence supporting her denials, pointing instead to public documents, photographs, and social media posts that indicate a sibling relationship.<\/p>\n When the Minneapolis Star Tribune assigned two reporters to investigate the matter in 2019, they requested interviews with Omar and her family members. She declined, Johnson noted.<\/p>\n Immigration violations are only part of the legal issues involving members of Minnesota\u2019s Somali community. Several local Somali residents were implicated in the Feeding Our Future case, the largest COVID-19 fraud uncovered in the United States, with losses to taxpayers exceeding $250 million, he wrote.<\/p>\n Acting U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson, who has overseen the two Feeding Our Future trials to date, has also described broader Medicaid fraud schemes involving Somali defendants. Thompson has estimated that those cases could ultimately amount to billions of dollars in losses.<\/p>\n After days of anxiety and fear, a missing girl was discovered in a remote forest\u2014only for the situation to take a shocking turn. The child, who had vanished nearly a week earlier without a trace, was located by search teams in a dense, secluded area, weak and terrified but miraculously alive. While her discovery initially brought relief, the celebration turned to horror when investigators revealed an unsettling truth: her mother had played a role in her disappearance.<\/p>\n Authorities explained that the case began as a standard missing persons investigation, prompting an extensive search involving volunteers, police, and aerial teams scouring the rugged terrain day and night. The breakthrough came when a group of searchers stumbled upon the girl, hidden under leaves and trembling. Her tearful statements led detectives to a heartbreaking conclusion\u2014her own mother had orchestrated the ordeal.<\/p>\n Shortly after the girl\u2019s rescue, police arrested her mother. While the investigation continues, early reports suggest the abduction may have been linked to personal struggles or mental health concerns. Officials are now working with child welfare and medical experts to provide the girl with care and stability. The community remains shaken by the revelation that the person who should have protected her instead put her in danger.<\/p>\n As the girl begins her recovery, an outpouring of support has emerged, with vigils and messages of hope arriving from across the nation. Though the emotional wounds will linger, her survival has become a symbol of strength. Authorities have pledged to seek justice while ensuring she receives the safety and healing she deserves\u2014far removed from the dark woods where her nightmare unfolded.<\/p>\n But when your neighbors are constantly destroying your fence, it might be time to reconsider your fence strategy.<\/p>\n That\u2019s precisely what one father decided to do after his unruly neighbors repeatedly damaged his fence.<\/p>\n The story was shared by his daughter on Reddit, revealing that the problematic neighbors were, in fact, distant relatives.<\/p>\n \u201cWe live in a small private neighborhood, and the neighbors are related to us in a distant way,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n \u201cEveryone here is a bit of a nutjob, and they were constantly arguing over property lines for decades, even before my brother and I were born.\u201d<\/p>\n Initially, the family had allowed their neighbors to use a small part of their land to navigate the road more safely without damaging their property.<\/p>\n The daughter illustrated the situation, explaining that their property line formed a square surrounded by roads on two sides.<\/p>\n We let our neighbors use one square meter of our land so they could use the road more safely and avoid damaging our property,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n The neighbors continually ran over the lawn, refusing to acknowledge the fence built to delineate the property line.<\/p>\n Despite the family\u2019s efforts to maintain their property, the neighbors acted as if the fence didn\u2019t exist, driving over it repeatedly.<\/p>\n The breaking point came when the family installed some hedges, only to have a massive truck, ordered by the neighbors, destroy them.<\/p>\n \u201cThe truck driver ran over our fence. No one wanted to pay for the damage, and we had to replant the plants and replace part of the metal fence. This was the third time it happened, and that\u2019s when my father decided to take revenge.\u201d<\/p>\n He dug up the property line marker and filled the disputed area with rock-filled barrels, much to the neighbors\u2019 dismay.<\/p>\n The neighbors were furious and threatened to call the police\u2014a move that didn\u2019t exactly intimidate him, given his profession.<\/p>\n They even brandished an ax at him, although details on this incident were scant.<\/p>\n Sure enough, the neighbors continued driving over the property, but now they were damaging their own cars in the process.<\/p>\n In the first six hours alone, three cars hit the barrels, sustaining significant damage.<\/p>\n Despite this, the neighbors didn\u2019t seem to learn their lesson.<\/p>\n Over the course of a year, the barrels took such a beating that they eventually became worthless.<\/p>\n However, the father had another plan to escalate his revenge.<\/p>\n \u201cOne peaceful afternoon, my father and I cemented that whole part of the land and placed some lovely flowers on top.<\/p>\n Now, when they hit the concrete, they can smell our flowers of victory and defeat.\u201d<\/p>\n The Texas Supreme Court has rejected Governor Greg Abbott\u2019s request for an immediate ruling on whether Democratic lawmakers who fled the state can be removed from office, opting instead for a longer review process.<\/p>\n Abbott had urged the court to act within 48 hours after House Democrats left Texas in early August to prevent a quorum and stall a vote on new congressional maps. But instead of a fast-track decision, justices gave both sides three weeks to file briefs, with responses due by September 4 \u2014 well after the current special session is expected to end, according to the\u00a0Texas Tribune<\/em>.<\/p>\n Despite the delay, Abbott framed the move as progress, saying the briefing schedule moves Democratic leaders \u201ccloser to consequences.\u201d His lawsuit targets Rep. Gene Wu of Houston, chair of the House Democratic Caucus, while a separate suit from Attorney General Ken Paxton seeks to remove Wu and 12 additional Democrats.<\/p>\n Though Abbott and Paxton initially clashed over who had the authority to pursue the case, Paxton has since said he looks forward to working alongside the governor to \u201chold these lawmakers accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n On August 3, dozens of Democratic members left the state, denying the House enough members to conduct business. The walkout was intended to block passage of the GOP\u2019s proposed redistricting plan, which was introduced after pressure from former President Donald Trump. Trump has called for maps that would give Republicans up to five additional seats in Congress, bolstering the party\u2019s narrow majority ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.<\/p>\n Democrats argue the redistricting push is a partisan attempt to cement Republican control, while critics note that Democratic-led states have employed similar gerrymandering strategies in the past.<\/p>\n No Texas legislator has ever been forcibly removed from office for breaking quorum. The Supreme Court\u2019s eventual ruling could set a precedent with major implications for both parties \u2014 particularly as redistricting battles intensify nationwide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A new poll has revealed growing disapproval of Donald Trump, with a surprising number of voters favoring another impeachment.
