“On the Holmes Front,” by Frank Holmes
It’s not exactly news that the Democrats have become deranged in their vendetta against Donald Trump and his “deplorable” followers… but Rep. Ilhan Omar just cranked the hate up to 11.
She just retweeted a message from washed up, D-list Hollywood star Tom Arnold, who praised Senator Rand Paul’s neighbor for beating the senator up.
Arnold, whose only claim to fame is being married to Roseanne Barr back in the Nineties, said living next door to the senator must be so terrible that it’s “no wonder (his neighbor) ripped his toupee off.”
Imagine being Rand Paul's next door neighbor and having to deal with @RandPaul lying cowardly circular whiney bullcrap about lawn clippings. No wonder he ripped his toupee off.

The senator’s neighbor, Rene Boucher didn’t just mess up Paul’s curly hair in November 2017. He beat the senator so bad that he broke five of Paul’s ribs, and the conservative later developed pneumonia.
Still, the Left kept whipping up hatred against him, even in his hospital ward.
Sen. Paul’s wife, Kelley, said she feels so unsafe now that “I now keep a loaded gun by my bed.”
Boucher got off easy after serving a measly 30 days in jail—so easy that federal prosecutors were in court this Wednesday asking the judge to give Boucher 21 more months in the slammer.
Do you really think it was a coincidence that just two days earlier, Omar was on Twitter supporting him? After all, this was a woman who asked a judge to let 9 ISIS traitors off the hook.
Conservatives are constantly living in the threat of left-wing violence, from Andy Ngo to Steve Scalise.
Praising violence against conservatives is disgusting—and, one day, maybe just deadly—enough on its own. But it’s also the hugest act of hypocrisy in American politics.
This is the same Ilhan Omar who is constantly accusing her opponents of putting her life in danger… every time they criticize her.
And they don’t have to cozy up to bullies or make any real threats: All they have to do is quote her own words!
After Donald Trump tweeted out a video of her saying that 9/11 was just a day when “some people did something,” Omar acted as if he’d personally taken out a mob hit on her.

“Since the President’s tweet Friday evening, I have experienced an increase in direct threats on my life ― many directly referencing or replying to the President’s video,” she said.
“Violent rhetoric and all forms of hate speech have no place in our society, much less from our country’s Commander in Chief,” Omar said. “This is endangering lives. It has to stop.”
Omar thinks someone quoting own words is hate speech!? That’s rich.
Still, the entire Democratic Party lined up to back Omar—and to accuse the president of trying to have her whacked.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Trump was “absolutely” inciting violence against Omar with his tweet by creating “a huge environment of suggestion.”
Her fellow Squad member, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib from Detroit, kicked it up a notch and accused President Trump of genocide.
And she demanded her followers start a “revolution that we can create to push back against this kind of hate.”
Her fellow extreme left-wingers danced to Omar’s tune, but it wasn’t just the Squad—the whole Democratic Party ran defense for her.
Presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke called the president’s tweet “an incitement to violence against Congresswoman Omar, against our fellow Americans who happen to be Muslim.”
The leftist “Nation” magazine wrote that “he’s going to keep inciting violence until someone gets killed.”
Even Speaker Nancy Pelosi—who isn’t Omar’s biggest fan—announced that she forced the Capitol Police to conduct “a security assessment to safeguard Congresswoman (Ilhan) Omar, her family, and her staff.”
Trump tweeted a video of Omar talking — and everyone who watched the Fake News media would have thought he signed her death warrant.
Well, where were all these left-wing peaceniks when Omar praises someone who actually committed violence?!
The same place they were when Kamala Harris threatened to kill Donald Trump — and Eric Swalwell threatened to nuke every gun owner in America.
Someone needs to cut off this real incitement to violence before somebody gets killed.
