SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – OVERNIGHT

MADNESS STRIKES AGAIN – FROM FOX OVERNIGHT:   Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., blamed police for the recent rise in crime in Minneapolis, accusing the city's officers of not fulfilling their oath of office.
"What we must also recognize is that the reduction in policing currently in our city and the lawlessness that is happening is due to two things," Omar said during a town hall event Saturday in Minneapolis.  One of them, she said, is that "the police have chosen to not fulfill their oath of office and to provide the public safety they are owed to the citizens they serve."  The lawmaker's comments come as violent crime has surged in Minnesota over the last year, rising 17% in total while setting records for murders.  Omar's approach to crime includes backing a Nov. 2 ballot measure to replace the entire Minneapolis police department with a "Department of Public Safety." The measure would remove the requirement that the city have a minimum number of officers based on the city's population.  This woman, an immgrant from Somalia, had a chance to go to Congress and become a role model.  Instead, she turned against the country that gave her safety, and has become a disgrace.  She is the queen of the "defund the police," movement, she makes anti-American speeches, and is openly anti-Semitic.  Not exactly a model citizen, yet she's in Congress.
