CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

"Monkey Business"
Someone reminded me that a certain kind of monkey business could end your political career once upon a time.
Now, it's just table stakes.

The Obama gorilla pics speak more to the primate status of the describer than they do to Obama.
"Monkey business" means pranks or messing around. Maximizing funds from a business by selling it, downsizing it, dividing it into pieces, etc. is financial monkey business. They could be inventing products or services that make our lives better, creating works of art or beauty, etc. Instead they create "nothing" to squeeze more nickels out of it. Contemptible.

After Washington,
If a politician isn’t good enough to cover-up an affair, the politics game ain’t for him, unless he’s rich then all bets are off.

James Comer launches investigation into Ilhan Omar’s husband’s business dealings
In a Wednesday letter to Timothy Mynett, Comer, the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, connected the inquiry to recent investigations into fraud among the Somali community in Minneapolis. He cited the immense amount of money Mynett's companies have made in recent years as justifying the investigation. Comer pointed out that eStCru and Rose Lake Capital, which Mynett holds ownership stakes in, shot from $51,000 to around $30 million in value from 2023 to 2024.

Hey, Comer referred to alleged crimes that happened in the same state as Ilhan Omar.

$30 million. Hah! Peanuts. I know someone who increased their worth by nearly $4 billion in roughly the same time frame. I assume Mr. Comer will investigate that guy as well?
As Jim said, there's a danger that 'unknown individuals may be investing to gain influence'. Hey, it sounds like he's maybe already on the case.

Cops investigate crimes. Congress investigates whatever it feels like.

From said link:
“In a Wednesday letter to Timothy Mynett, Comer, the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, connected the inquiry to recent investigations into fraud among the Somali community in Minneapolis. He cited the immense amount of money Mynett's companies have made in recent years as justifying the investigation. Comer pointed out that eStCru and Rose Lake Capital, which Mynett holds ownership stakes in, shot from $51,000 to around $30 million in value from 2023 to 2024.”
Somalis have (allegedly) “committed-fraud” so this private company which seems to be owned by (other?) Somalis, gets the magnifying-glass from Comer?
But wait, theys more!
”Given that these companies do not publicly list their investors or where their money comes from, this sudden jump in value raises concerns that unknown individuals may be investing to gain influence with your wife,” he [Comer] wrote. "Media reports further suggest that you may have raised money from investors using misleading information, meaning some of those funds may have been obtained improperly."
“There are serious public concerns about how your businesses increased so dramatically in value only a year after reporting very limited assets,” Comer added. "Further, after these reports about financial trouble and alleged fraud, the Committee has serious questions about how eStCru’s valuation increased by up to $5 million in a single year."
He also voiced suspicions about the company's opacity, taking issue with the lack of publicly available information about it.
A company plays the Capitalism-game and does alright for itself is “suspect”?
A “private company” doesn’t have much presence in the regulatory-apparatus of our Fair Land?
Well, they’re obviously “up to something”. ~$30M, so far!
