    Ilhan Omar Hits Rock Bottom With Her Dumbest Remarks Yet As Trump Delivers His Best Speech Ever


    One of the universal experiences of parenthood is that, sooner rather than later, your child will say something that’s simultaneously very dumb, but also endearing because it reflects a view of the world that no adult could possibly have.

    A child might assume that his teacher lives at school, for example. And then he’ll express utter shock and horror when he sees one of his teachers at the supermarket. Or maybe he’ll wonder why the moon is following him around at night, or why people don’t just use ATMs to withdraw unlimited amounts of money. Unless you’re a chronic marijuana user, these aren’t the kind of thoughts you typically have as an adult. It’s a simplistic and off-kilter way of thinking, but you give it a pass, and even find it charming, when it’s coming from your five-year-old.

    When you’re scrolling through videos on your phone and you hear something like this from a sitting member of Congress, on the other hand, all of the charm is lost. You see, in order to be a member of the House of Representatives, you have to be 25 years old at a minimum. Your frontal cortex has to be relatively well-developed, at least in theory. We have this restriction — as minimal as it is — because we don’t want legislators introducing bills that guarantee, I don’t know, mandatory birthday parties every month. And we also don’t want members of Congress to stand in front of a podium, and deliver moments like this one, live on national television.

    The phrase “jaw-dropping” is overused these days, but there’s really no better way to describe this footage. She tells us, without hesitating at all, that this particular law hasn’t been invoked since World War Eleven. Yes, World War Eleven. Whoever wrote this script for Ilhan Omar, needless to say, badly overestimated her intelligence, in at least two different ways. First of all, of course, she read the Roman Numeral “II” as “eleven,” which means she somehow has no familiarity with the concept of a Roman Numeral. We can deduce that she’s never opened a history book at any point in her life, or watched a movie sequel, or read an outline, or paid any attention to the Super Bowl, or seen one of those old-fashioned clock faces, or met anyone who’s named after his father, or anything like that.

    But even if, for some reason, you’re inclined to give Ilhan Omar a pass for not understanding Roman Numerals, there’s an even bigger problem here, which is that she thinks it’s plausible that there were eleven different World Wars. That’s one of those moments that, no matter how much you want to give someone the benefit of the doubt, is simply impossible to defend. The words “World War Eleven” should not come out of your mouth, under any circumstances. Instinctively, you should know something’s wrong at that point, and you should hit the brakes before you say anything. People are giving her credit for catching her mistake a couple seconds later, but this is one of those errors that just shouldn’t happen to begin with. The brain needs to intercept this particular thought immediately, and neutralize it.

    I’m the first to admit that someone who speaks publicly all the time might commit a flub here or there, a gaffe, mispronounce a name on occasion — or in my case, mispronounce basically every name, every time. These things are understandable. But the term “world war eleven” is so jarring, so wrong, so divorced from reality, that it simply should not leave your lips. If it does, then that’s evidence of much deeper intellectual deficiencies.

    So in this case, we can assume one of two things. The first possibility — which admittedly is very remote — is that Ilhan Omar might have an extremely low IQ, and she’s spent a non-zero amount of time after watching “The Godfather Part II” wondering where the other 10 Godfather movies are. She knows she can’t find them on Netflix, but she’s pretty sure they’re out there, somewhere. Or maybe she’s done the same thing with “Back to the Future Part II” or “Star Wars Episode II” or “Rocky II.” That would be the worst-case scenario, by far —  at least for Ilhan Omar.

    The other possibility is that she’s right, and everyone else is wrong. Maybe there really have been 11 world wars, and we’ve just been undercounting this whole time. And if that’s the case, then effective immediately, I’m calling for one more World War. Now look, I’m as skeptical of foreign intervention as anyone else. And yes, there would be a lot of casualties in World War 12. But if there’s already been eleven world wars, then I think we might as well do one more and make it an even dozen. Frankly, eleven is just a weird number to end on. We’re so close to a nice round number. And it’s about time our leaders did something for the benefit of the OCD community.

    All things considered though, Occam’s Razor probably wins here. And that’s a sobering realization. As I said on X, our founding fathers never even considered the possibility that illiterate, moronic third-world women would one day be shipped into this country — and then elected to Congress. We are discovering a method of national suicide that never entered the minds of the founders. Or at least, to the extent that it did enter their minds, they warned us, repeatedly, not to succumb to it. And they didn’t mince words. More on that in a second.

    But first, it’s important to underscore the extent of the contrast between what Ilhan Omar represents, on the one hand, and the “America First” leadership that currently sits in the White House on the other. What Ilhan Omar represents, although she’s too dumb to realize it, is the notion that America is a “propositional nation” — which is to say, a nation that’s nothing more than a set of ideas. In particular, she represents the fiction that America is open to everyone, that “diversity is our strength,” and that everyone who sets foot inside our borders is just as American as anyone else.

    Yesterday, Donald Trump hosted King Charles III at the White House — or as Ilhan Omar calls him, King Charles one-hundred-and-eleven. And Trump delivered one of the best speeches of his political career, without question. It wasn’t just a rejection of Democrat Party orthodoxy, or the suggestion that America is a propositional nation. We’re not defined by any Supreme Court decision or even the Constitution. Instead, Trump made it clear that America is defined by shared culture, religion, language, territory, and ancestry. One cannot simply “identify” as an American. As a country, we’re successful because of our Anglo-Saxon heritage.

    “The American patriots who pledged their lives to independence in 1776 were the heirs to this majestic inheritance, their veins ran with Anglo-Saxon courage.”

    Every single time they say Trump is equivalent to Hitler, and every single time they call MAGA supporters “Nazis,” they’re trying to de-program you so that you don’t think along these lines. They’re trying to imply that, if you think heritage matters, then you must be a horrible human being. But the truth is, there’s nothing hateful or genocidal or authoritarian about believing something that happens to be true. And it’s true — demonstrably so — that your heritage matters. Your genetics matter. Your culture matters. The reason Somalia looks the way it does — and we all know it — has nothing to do with “systemic racism” or oppression or colonialism. There are plenty of other formerly-colonized countries, from South Korea to Botswana, that aren’t anywhere near as dysfunctional. For decades in Somalia, they’ve been fighting among themselves. Believe it or not, they just passed a law making sexual assault a crime a few years ago. That’s the kind of thing that happens when you don’t have any common law tradition, or a basic sense of morality.

    At the state dinner last night, Trump hammered the same point.

    He’s making the point that, contrary to what many historians want you to think, the American Revolution wasn’t actually a seismic split from Europe. It wasn’t a complete reset. It wasn’t a “new order of the ages,” at least not initially. Really, it was a continuation of a common tradition and heritage in many ways. And that’s why we were successful.

    Does anyone seriously doubt that, if Somalians had somehow descended from the British and Germanic tribes, Somalia would be in a much better place today? Well, unfortunately, the answer is — yes, people do doubt that. The reason we’re in so much trouble right now is that, indeed, millions of people genuinely believe that Somalia would look exactly the same if it had been a product of Anglo-Saxon tradition. One such “true believer,” we can surmise, is King Charles himself.

    Watch what he told Congress yesterday afternoon:

    Source: @overton_news/X.com

    Somehow all the Democrats who had a problem with “Kings” — to the point that they literally attended rallies where they called for “No Kings” — were applauding throughout this speech. Really makes you wonder.

    In any event, the important part of that clip was: “They declared independence by balancing contending forces, and in drawing strength in diversity, they united 13 disparate colonies to forge a nation on the revolutionary idea of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”

    Ironically, during the Revolutionary War, the British Army hired between 20,000 and 100,000 Africans and African-Americans. They really did put their money where their mouth was, in terms of the whole “diversity is our strength” argument. And it didn’t work out for them, to put it mildly. But the King doesn’t want you to ponder any of this. He just repeats the mantra from the modern-day HR Department, which is that diversity is our strength, and that the American colonists believed the same mantra.

    We briefly talked about this kind of thinking when we dismantled Ken Burns’ documentary on the American Revolution a few months ago. No, the Founders did not draw on “strength in diversity,” as Leftists love to use that word today. The colonists were overwhelmingly white and British. Some were Dutch or German. That’s an indisputable fact. The colonists spoke the same language and shared similar ancestry. What King Charles is implying is that the “diversity” of the colonists was comparable, in some way, to the “diversity” that the Left talks about today. But it wasn’t remotely comparable. The “diversity” of 2026 means that we get Somali daycare centers in Minneapolis where they can’t even spell the word “Learning” on the sign. It means we get hordes of Hispanic gang members in Los Angeles waving the Mexican flag as they set fire to police cars and Waymos and small businesses the moment the federal government attempts to enforce immigration law. It means the descendants of Kenyans who score in the 50th percentile on the SAT can walk into Harvard, no questions asked. That’s the “diversity” we’re told to celebrate today. And it’s a sick joke to compare this practice, in any way, to the unification of the 13 colonies to create the United States of America. The colonies were created by men with a shared heritage. Modern proponents of diversity explicitly want to destroy that heritage.

    That’s why, when he announced that he was running for president seven years ago, Joe Biden read a script in which he declared that “America is an idea.” This is the same video where he repeated the Charlottesville “very fine people” hoax. 

    Watch:

    Source: Joe Biden/YouTube.com

    America “guarantees that everyone is treated with dignity.” America “gives hope to the most desperate people on earth.” He’s not simply repeating vapid slogans here, although he’s certainly doing that. Really, Joe Biden (and his handlers) are trying to do the exact same thing they did with gender. They want to destroy the entire concept by making it completely subjective. There’s no limiting principle here. Joe Biden’s definition of America is meaningless. We have no identity, no objective characteristics whatsoever. We’re simply a concept — the concept that foreigners should never, under any circumstances, have to think bad thoughts, or feel bad feelings.

    At the White House, with King Charles watching, Donald Trump went out of his way to reject this orthodoxy. He called it out by name.

    It’s worth keeping in mind, once again, how different this scene would look, if Kamala Harris had been elected president. It would be the exact opposite. She’d turn the 250th anniversary of this country’s founding into an apology tour. And she certainly wouldn’t affirm that America is the product of Anglo-Saxon tradition. She’d tell us that Somalis and Haitian gangbangers built this country. Whenever we’re frustrated with this administration — and there are plenty of reasons to be frustrated — it helps to remind yourself of that alternative universe that we’ve avoided, at least for now.

    The other thing you have to keep in mind is that, before the Left used Donald Trump as a pretext to lose their minds, none of this used to be controversial. The Founding Fathers went out of their way to criticize foreigners, and to emphasize American exceptionalism. Ben Franklin famously called Germans “swarthy.” Thomas Jefferson warned of the dangers of mass migration, saying he preferred the population to grow naturally. Alexander Hamilton emphasized the importance of a “common national sentiment” and cautioned against “corrupting the national spirit” by importing a population with divided loyalties. And that view was consistent well into the 20th century — Louisiana was hit hard by English-language-only laws, for example. And during World War I, the government stripped citizenship from thousands of people.

    More recently, it’s hardly been controversial to highlight the importance of our shared heritage. Here’s Antonin Scalia in 2006, explaining that, as an Italian-American, he was surprised when he visited Britain for the first time and felt like he was at home. He didn’t recognize the influence of Britain and the Anglo-Saxon tradition on the United States until that moment.

    You used to be able to make observations like this, in public, without having your life destroyed. And just to illustrate that point a little more — remember when everyone lost their minds over the “Appeal to Heaven”/Pine Tree flag that was flying outside of Samuel Alito’s house? It was a whole news cycle. Leftists said that Samuel Alito was an insurrectionist because he was flying the same flag as the protesters on January 6th. And then, when conservatives pointed out that the “Appeal to Heaven” flag is actually a well-established part of American history, and that liberals used to celebrate the flag themselves — the state of California flew the flag outside of government buildings, and it was featured in the intro to HBO’s “John Adams” miniseries — the whole story completely died. It was an embarrassing saga — one that clearly exposed the ignorance, and the insane paranoia, of the modern Left.

    Something similar is happening with the Anglo-Saxon rhetoric that Trump used. Here’s a clip from that same John Adams miniseries from HBO.

    It’s an adaptation of remarks that John Adams actually made, in real life, when he met King George after America’s independence.

    Watch:

    Source: @PrebyInn/X.com

    “Who, though separated by an ocean, and under different governments, have the same language, a similar religion, and kindred blood.”

    If he heard that line today, Jake Tapper would accuse John Adams of being a Nazi. The women of “The View” would never recover. But it was an uncontroversial line when John Adams said it. And it was an uncontroversial line when HBO made that miniseries in 2008. Only in the last decade or so, did it become “outrageous” to talk about the benefits of our shared heritage with the British and the Anglo-Saxons.

    And that brings up an important point. Yes, we should recognize that we’re the product of an Anglo-Saxon culture, and yes, we should recognize that this heritage is unique and valuable. But we should also recognize that we’re not best defined as “descendants of the Anglo-Saxons” anymore. We’re something distinct. We have our own identity. We don’t have to define ourselves exclusively as the descendants of Germans, or Britons, or Irishmen, or anyone else. Every nationality and ethnic group began when it achieved terminal velocity, and became a distinct identity from the ones that preceded it. And Americans have reached that point. We are a distinct culture. We are a distinct nation. We’re a distinct ethnicity. We have our own shared traditions and heritage, and none of it’s captured — at least not fully — by describing us as “Italian-Americans” or “German-Americans” or “Anglo-Saxons” or anything else. We’re Americans.

    This is a post on X that I want to highlight, because it captures exactly this idea:

    America must be understood as its own ethnos. You’re not a mutt, you’re not English-Irish-French-Italian-Polish-Scottish-German because you’ve got fractions and percents of each. You belong to your own ethnic group unique to this continent, distinct from all others. Theodore Roosevelt understood this well. ‘The children and grandchildren of the men who came here from England, Ireland, Germany, France, Scandinavia, and the rest of Europe have become Americans—a new race, with a new ethnic type, and they are no more Englishmen or Germans or Scandinavians than the descendants of the Norman invaders of England are Frenchmen. The frontier conditions made a new race. The stern struggle with the wilderness and with wild men welded together the descendants of many European stocks into one people—the American. Out of the crucible of the wilderness came a new ethnic type, hardy, self-reliant, democratic in instinct, and with a continent for its inheritance.’

    If you doubt any of that, just look around today. We’re the only country on the planet that still respects the freedom of speech, even as countries like Britain and Germany have abandoned it. They arrest comedians in Britain, like Graham Linehan, for offending the cult of transgenderism. We don’t do that here. We also have a unique system of government, and a unique way of electing our head of state. We create all of the movies and television shows worth watching, with very few exceptions. We make the most vitally important technology products that everyone in the world uses or benefits from — from the phone to the search engine to the self-driving car to the reusable rocket. We innovate. And in general, we’re civilized — to a much greater degree than most of the world.

    Just as one example to illustrate this point: there has been a lot of talk, especially in recent years, about pollution in the ocean. A few years ago we went through the great Plastic Straw Panic, where every restaurant in the country switched over to paper straws that melt in your Diet Coke while you’re trying to use them. But, as I said at the time, this panic was always totally absurd. At least in our country. Almost none of the pollution in the ocean is from the United States. Why? Because in the United States, for the most part, we don’t dump our trash into the rivers, which then ferry it like a conveyor belt into the ocean. No, that is done in Africa and Asia, which is why 95% of the plastic pollution in the Ocean comes from those two continents.

    That leaves only 5% of the ocean’s plastic debris to be split between the continents of Europe, North America, South America, and Australia. Brazil is the worst plastic offender outside of Asia and Africa. Twenty-three European countries, collectively, are 18th on the list. The United States comes in 20th. America, with its population of 330 million, is dwarfed on the plastic pollutant list by countries like Sri Lanka with 310 million fewer people.

    We could collect all of the straws in North America, bundle them together and shoot them into the Sun, and the state of the ocean would hardly be improved at all. Indeed, we could stop using plastic altogether and it would barely make a dent in the problem. That’s because, again, we are a civilized country, and we don’t dump our trash into our rivers.

    But that’s exactly what they do all across Asia and Africa. In fact, the problem is so bad in the most contaminated river in the world, the River Salween in south east Asia, that local fishermen have abandoned fishing for actual fish and instead fish for glass and plastic, which they can then sell. Fishermen are now catching trash in the river rather than fish. Basic things like waste disposal and hygiene are not practiced across wide swaths of the globe. That’s the point.

     Americans don’t tolerate dysfunction like this. Yes, there are cities within the United States — which are overrun with people who aren’t Americans — that are dysfunctional. But cities and towns that are run by Americans are a different matter entirely. And if we want to eliminate any dysfunction for good, we have no choice but to ensure that America is ruled by, and for, Americans — and no one else.

    So in the spirit of our Founding Fathers, I humbly present my proposal for a “Heritage American Bill of Rights.” This is a series of rules that, if enforced, would ensure the future survival of the United States of America, by protecting the culture and shared heritage that our president has correctly identified as fundamental to our existence as a nation.

    Rule #1:

    First-generation immigrants aren’t permitted to serve in Congress at all, especially illiterate Somali ones. But also in general. If you just got here, then you have no business telling Americans how to live their lives. You have no business spending their money. You certainly have no business complaining all the time, or defaming millions of people. It’s the height of humiliation for Americans to have to listen to a member of Congress talk about “World War Eleven.” No self-respecting country would tolerate this. We shouldn’t either. We already require that the president must be a natural born citizen. That requirement should simply be extended to congress as well, for all of the same reasons that we apply it to the presidency.

    Rule #2:

    Foreigners who can’t speak English, or who cost taxpayers money, have to go home. Anyone who doesn’t speak our language is not an American. They can’t participate in our society. They can’t assimilate. They can only wall themselves off into ethnic enclaves, which breed resentment and fraud and poverty. And obviously, if these people are drawing welfare benefits, the situation is even less sustainable. If you come to this country, and you become a net drain on society, then you need to go back. We can’t afford any other outcome. Even if we wanted to feed and educate and pay the medical bills for all of these people, the money simply isn’t there.

    Rule #3:

    I’ve been very open that I think we should drastically curtail the right to vote. You should have some actual stake in this country, at a minimum, if you want to vote. There has to be some legacy you want to protect. And we can’t measure this stake solely through property ownership, especially since foreigners (mainly from China) are buying a lot of our property. We also can’t measure this stake solely through the number of children you have, since foreigners are having children at far higher rates than the native population. I think a very moderate and extremely generous proposal is that immigrants are not allowed to vote in our elections until they’ve been legal citizens in this country for ten years. So you have to become a legal citizen and then wait another ten years before you can vote. Voting is not, or shouldn’t be, a universal right granted to everyone. We already have some minimal standards for voting. You have to be 18. Most states have restrictions on felons voting. Our Founding Fathers obviously intended for the parameters to be much stricter. We can’t prevent people from voting based on race, and we shouldn’t, and no one is suggesting that. But we can protect our institutions by taking basic steps to make sure that voters are actual adult citizens of the country who are assimilated into the culture and invested in it. I also think all voters should be required to complete and pass a 5th grade civics exam, and we should disenfranchise everyone on welfare. But let’s start with the 10 year voting moratorium for new citizens, and go from there.

    Now, will any of these proposals become law? Will any of them ever be enforced? It’s easy to conclude that, no, they won’t. “Nothing ever happens,” as the saying goes.

    But if that’s your attitude, consider this: Donald Trump, yesterday, became the first president in probably a half-century to mention our Anglo-Saxon tradition in a positive light. He did something that no other president dared to do. And he did it, multiple times, while standing right next to King Charles, who was busy muttering about how “diversity is our strength.”

    As far as contrasts go, it was pretty stark. It was a bit like watching a member of Congress who thinks there were 11 World Wars, and then listening to a president who understands what it takes to prevent World War III. Who are we, exactly? We’re the product of a distinct heritage. We’re the best innovators, lawmakers, scientists, artists, athletes, thinkers, and fighters in the entire world. We’re not a “melting pot” or a mish-mash of inferior, squabbling cultures. We’re just Americans. And as soon as we evict anti-American invaders, like Ilhan Omar, from this country, we will become exactly what our Founding Fathers were 250 years ago: An unstoppable force advancing the interests of civilization, without apology.

    All of the Left’s propaganda over the past few decades, and all of their slander, have been designed to prevent that outcome from becoming reality. But on Tuesday, with this message delivered by our president directly to the face of King Charles, for the first time in memory, these enemies of Western Civilization finally have an enemy of their own. Americans who understand their heritage, and who take pride in their ethnicity, are the single greatest imaginable threat to Leftism and all of its objectives. And yesterday, in a couple of speeches that could’ve been merely ceremonial, those Americans were given their marching orders.
