Bombshell: Ilhan Omar’s Winery Goes from Nothing to $5 MILLION in a Year – No Vines, No Bottles, Bar
« on: January 27, 2026, 08:13:22 am »
Excerpt:
You know that sinking feeling when the numbers don’t add up, and the more you dig, the more it smells like fraud? That’s the bombshell dropped by investigative journalist Benny Johnson, exposing Rep. Ilhan Omar’s mysterious winery asset “eStCru LLC” that exploded from a $15,000 valuation in 2023 to a staggering $5 million in 2024—despite having no physical winery, no phone line, no active social media, no bottles of wine, and a barely functional website. This isn’t just suspicious; it’s a glaring red flag screaming corruption, and it’s time for real accountability.




She’s a theft and a criminal - this should be plenty of evidence to lock her up.

Forget about it. She's got an airtight Defense.

With that light-bulb shaped head of her's. you'd think she has a bright future.

In Islam, alcohol is haram (forbidden), primarily because it is intoxicating.  The prohibition is based on clear rulings from the Quran and Hadith.

Quranic Evidence:

Surah Al-Ma'idah (5:90-91) states: "Intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone alters [to other than Allah], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan. So avoid it that you may be successful."
Surah Al-Baqarah (2:219) acknowledges some benefits of alcohol but emphasizes that "the sin of them is greater than their benefit."
Hadith Evidence:

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: "Every intoxicant is khamr, and every khamr is haram."
Another narration states: "Whoever drinks alcohol in this worldly life and does not repent, it will be forbidden for him in the Hereafter."
Key Islamic Ruling:

Any substance that can cause intoxication is haram, even in small amounts.
The prohibition applies regardless of the source (grapes, dates, grains, etc.) or the form (beer, wine, spirits).
Even non-intoxicating traces of alcohol in food or medicine are permitted if they are not derived from khamr and do not cause intoxication.

More to the point, they are forbidden to even sell alcohol:  https://www.islamweb.net/amp/en/fatwa/85347/

Thus, owning an asset that is directly or indirectly involved with the business of making or selling alcohol is forbidden. 

One wonders if this has been made clear to her supporters in Little Somalia?

Yeah, that a Muslim supposedly was producing or selling wine immediately struck me as odd.

Oh, Ilhan, which wine would you serve with a ham sammich? Pinot Noir or something white?

But no alcohol is being produced. It's just a front for the fraudbucks, and lying to the infidels is just fine. So, no foul.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The company eStCru LLC had a Maryland direct wine shippers permit, DW-80316, which was issued in 2021 and expired in 2023.  The MD govt website currently shows the permit status as “closed”.

It also indicates that the company was at 1160 Hopper Ave, Santa Rosa, CA 95403-1651

The LLC itself was formed in CA in 2020 according to the CA secretary of states website. The current registered agent is Lucas Noble.  As of 2022, the managers were William Hailer and Timothy Mynett, with contact addresses at 400 Capitol Mall, Floor 8, Sacramento, CA 95814, and the claimed type of business was “winery”.

The CA entity number is 202018810577

According to the federal Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, the LLC has a wine producers permit number CA-W-23874, and a listed address of 1160 Hopper Ave, Santa Rosa, CA 95403. 

In CA, the company was licensed by the Alcohol Beverage Control department, but the license appears to have automatically expired in 2024.  License number is 619701.  Hailer and Mynett are listed as the officers.

Mynett and Hailer appear to have been previously involved in accusations of investor fraud.

Maybe it's just a "framework" of a winery.

If any of them actually ever produced wine, can you imagine how awful that swill would taste?
