Ilhan Omar says she was unaware of ‘tropes about Jews and money’
Rep. Ilhan Omar is drawing heat again — this time for claiming that she was unaware there are “tropes about Jews and money,” leaving an aide to Sen. Ted Cruz to declare: “Give me a break.”
Omar (D-Minn.), whom House Speaker Kevin McCarthy removed from the House Foreign Affairs Committee, was trying to defend herself in a CNN interview Sunday, from accusations that she has made anti-Semitic comments in the past.
”I certainly did not or was not aware that the word ‘hypnotized’ was a trope. I wasn’t aware of the fact that there are tropes about Jews and money. That has been very enlightening part of this journey,” Omar said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
“To insinuate that I knowingly said these things when people have read into my comments to make it sound as if I have something against the Jewish community is so wrong,” she continued.
Omar, the first Somali-American and one of the first Muslims elected to Congress, once compared the Jewish state to terrorist organizations like Hamas and the Taliban, and said the relationship between Israel and the United States is “all about the Benjamins.”
Omar’s explanation didn’t go over well with Twitter users.
“Ilhan Omar employed one antisemitic trope in 2012, after which she said learned all about antisemitism ‘from Jewish orgs. She then employed another one in 2019,” Avi Mayer, the former managing director of public affairs and senior spokesperson for the American Jewish Committee, said on the social media site.
“But she didn’t know there are tropes about Jews and money?” he said, linking to her appearance on CNN.
Steve Guest, special advisor for communications for Cruz, was incredulous.
“Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar claims on CNN that she was ‘not aware that the word “hypnotized” was a trope’ and ’wasn’t aware of the fact that there are tropes about Jews and money.’ Give me a break. That’s BS,” he said on Twitter.
In 2012, Omar tweeted that “Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel. #Gaza #Palestine #Israel.”
Hananya Naftali, a human rights activist, accused Omar of lying.
“Democrat Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is not only an anti-Semite but also a bad liar. ‘I didn’t know there were stereotypes about Jews and money.’ Spare me,” he said.
Dov Hikind, the former state assemblyman from Brooklyn, also spoke out against Omar.
“Ilhan Omar definitely learned a LOT about antisemitic tropes … Omar discovered that if she focuses on ‘Israel’ and ‘Zionists’ instead of ‘Jews’ she can promote the same blood libels and get away with it without looking like an overt neo-Nazi à la Kanye,” he said.
Along with Omar, McCarthy removed Reps. Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell, both Democrats from California, from their spots on the House Intelligence Committee.
First sign of breast cancer: Women unaware that breast density is an increased risk factor
Dense breast tissue poses up to four times higher risk of developing breast cancer. However, a new study has shown that many women are unaware of the risks of breast density.
Dense breasts refers to breasts that are composed of more fibrous and glandular tissue compared to fatty tissue, and can be detected while undergoing a mammogram.
The study, which was published in Jama Network Open on 23 January, surveyed 1,858 women ages 40 to 76 years from 2019 to 2020 who had recently undergone mammography, had no history of breast cancer, and had heard of breast density.
It assessed women’s understanding of breast density as a significant breast cancer risk compared to other well known risk factors, such as having a relative with breast cancer, being overweight or obese, drinking more than one alcoholic beverage per day, never having children, and having a prior breast biopsy.
Despite breast density being associated with a 1.2 to four times higher risk of developing breast cancer, according to the study, few women perceived breast density to be a strong personal risk factor. Instead, 93 per cent of women saw family history as posing the greatest risk, followed by 65 per cent of women who said that being overweight or obese was a greater risk than breast density.
Of the 61 women who were interviewed, only six of them described breast density as contributing to breast cancer risk. Although, most women did correctly note that breast density could make mammograms harder to read.
When asked about what they could take to reduce their breast cancer risk, roughly one-third of women said that they weren’t sure if it was possible to reduce their breast cancer risk, or they were unaware of what actions they could take.
However, there are many actions people can take to reduce their risk of developing breast cancer. A breast screening, also known as a mammogram, is an x-ray picture of the breast used to check for breast cancer in women. A mammogram can detect otherwise invisible signs or symptoms of breast cancer that cannot be felt, or can check for breast cancer after a lump or other signs of breast cancer has been detected.
The American Cancer Society recommends women between the ages 45 to 54 should get a mammogram every year. Women between 40 and 44 also have the option to start early screening, and those who are 55 and older can switch to a mammogram every other year if they choose to do so.
Nearly half of all women who are 40 and older who get mammograms are found to have dense breasts, per the National Cancer Institute. Breast density is often inherited, but it can also be found in women who are younger, are taking hormone replacement therapy, or have a lower body weight.
While breast density can make it more difficult to interpret a mammogram, a newer type of mammogram called digital breast tomosynthesis – or 3D mammography – has recently appeared to be more helpful in women with dense breasts.
Other studies have shown that imaging tests like an ultrasound or a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can help find some breast cancers that can’t be seen on mammograms. Experts have not yet firmly suggested women with dense breasts should receive additional screening, according to the Recommendation Statement on Breast Cancer Screening by the US Preventive Services Task Force.
People who have dense breasts should talk to their health care provider about personal risks of developing breast cancer.

Battlefield 2042 Players Join XP Farm, Unaware They’re The XP
So the new Battlefield has this mode called Portal that’s like a great big sandbox, where players can customise games to basically be whatever the hell they want. And at the moment, because we live in the world we live in, a lot of those games are XP farms.
Yes, as shocked as you might be to read this, a lot of players are forsaking using their imaginations in favour of building custom games where they can just cruise around slaughtering bots and earning loads of XP, which allows them to level up faster and thus unlock better gear faster. Some of the most shameless examples of this don’t even arm the bots with firearms, they just send them out onto the battlefield with knives to meet a swift death.
Which, fine, whatever. XP farming is nothing new. What makes this particular example of XP farming fantastic is that because of the way that Battlefield 2042 populates its matches with bots, there are actual humans who are searching for stuff like “XP farm” in server lists and winding up joining in these games.
But not as the XP farmers. As the XP. PC Gamer’s Tyler Wilde spent the weekend messing around in these servers and found loads of people “joining XP farming servers only to discover that they’re the crops”, entering games with nothing but a knife, alongside scores of bots, and wondering why a tiny team of human players armed to the teeth are just ploughing through them.
Even better:
What’s really funny is that not everyone leaves after discovering that only a handful of players in the server are XP farming and they aren’t one of them. I’ve stuck around and watched players desperately run at their tormentors with knives over and over. Somewhere along the line, a rumor must’ve started that typing “/switch” or “/swapteam” into chat puts you on the other team, because there’s a lot of that. It does not work. I’ve also seen strings of players type “/gun,” apparently hoping that the command will give them a gun. It does not.
G/O Media may get a commission
Please read the whole thing here, it’s very, very funny. In response, DICE made a complimentary set of changes that not only “impacts the effectiveness of XP Farming Servers”, but also works to “free up more servers for Portal”, so that there are less XP farms and more unique and interesting ways to play the game.
Tiger Woods was unaware of ‘how gravely he was injured’ immediately after wreck, deputy says
Tiger Woods crashed his vehicle in a Los Angeles neighborhood early Tuesday morning and was conscious and “calm” but was unaware of the extent of his injuries, a county sheriff’s deputy who was one of the first on the scene said Wednesday.
Carlos Gonzalez, a deputy with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, told NBC News’ “Today” show that the legendary golfer was able to identify himself immediately after the wreck but wasn’t “aware” of the severity of his injuries.
TIGER WOODS CRASH REVERBERATES ACROSS THE SPORTS WORLD: ‘SICK TO MY STOMACH’
“Mr. Woods seemed calm,” Gonzalez recalled. “I don’t think he was aware of how gravely he was injured at the time. It could be a mixture of adrenaline. It could have been shock… I don’t know if he had time to fully assess his injuries.”
He continued: “I ask him, ‘Can you tell me your first name?’ He looked at me and said, ‘Tiger.’ It took me a half-second, but I saw his face and I thought, ‘Oh, yeah, you’re Tiger Woods.’”
Gonzalez noted that Woods did not seem like he was in distress so he waited for the fire department to come and safely remove him from the wreck.

Woods, 45, suffered “multiple leg injuries” after being involved in a “single vehicle roll-over” collision on the border of Rolling Hills Estates and Rancho Palos Verdes at around 7:12 a.m. local time.
His team released a statement early Wednesday morning that detailed the extent of those injuries.
“Comminuted open fractures affecting both the upper and lower portions of the tibia and fibula bones were stabilized by inserting a rod into the tibia,” Dr. Anish Mahajan, chief medical officer and interim CEO of Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, was quoted as saying. “Additional injuries to the bones of the foot and ankle were stabilized with a combination of screws and pins.”

While law enforcement did not rule out speed as a contributing factor, Gonzalez said the road where the crash took place is a “hotspot” for wrecks.
“That specific stretch of roadway is one of our trouble spots,” he said during a press conference on Tuesday. “Our locals in Ranchos Palos Verdes and Rolling Hills Estates know that it’s a hotspot for traffic collisions as well as speed. In my experience as a deputy … I have seen many collisions. The nature of his vehicle, the fact that he was wearing a seatbelt, I would say that it greatly increased the likelihood that it saved his life.”
Gonzalez continued: “I’ve seen fatal traffic collisions so I will say that it is very fortunate that Mr. Woods was able to come out of this alive.”
