NYC Mayor Eric Adams says migrants should be housed in 'private residences' as many buildings have spare rooms
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Mayor Eric Adams has suggested putting migrants in 'private residences' to deal with the influx of economic dependents seekers in the Big Apple.

The statement came while Adams announced a partnership with New York houses of worship to give migrants a place to stay across the city.

'It is my vision to take the next step to this faith-based locales and then move to a private residence... They have spare rooms,' Adams said Monday afternoon.

Adams said when the church-based program is fully operational, they hope to be able to host up to 1,000 asylum seekers at a time.

Since April 2022, more than 70,000 migrants have arrived in NYC after governors from Republican states like Texas and Florida sent buses to the liberal-led city.

-Short Attention Span Theater-
Supreme Court to Decide If Trump Insult Can Be Trademarked
[Epoch Times] The expression "Trump Too Small" was inspired by a crude joke that Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) made during the 2016 Republican presidential primary season. Then-presidential candidate Rubio mocked fellow candidate Trump by saying he had "small hands."

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled in August 2022 that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) was wrong to deny the trademark application of progressive activist and lawyer Steve Elster for "Trump Too Small."

The Supreme Court decided on June 5 to consider whether a progressive can trademark a belittling phrase targeting former President Donald Trump for use on T-shirts.

The ruling puts the administration of President Joe Biden, a Democrat, in the unusual position of defending the interests of Trump.

CNN's Bakari Sellers calls Nikki Haley 'white governor' after town hall
[NYPOST] A CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
political analyst falsely referred to Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley
...Trump administration's former ambassador to the UN. First woman to serve as Governor of South Carolina, and the second Indian-American governor in the country, after Bobby Jindal of Louisiana. At the age of 39, Haley was the youngest governor in the U.S., a distinction formerly held by Jindal. She is a Republican, which really grates on the Dems...
as "a white governor from the Deep South"
...actually, she is the child of Sikh immigrants from Amritsar, Punjab, in India — her birth name is Nimarata Nikki Randhawa. Despite appearing well within the white spectrum, she is by definition brown, just like AOC...
Sunday night while criticizing her handling of racial tensions in South Carolina following the 2015 massacre of nine black parishioners at a Charleston church by a white supremacist.
That was Dylann Roof at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church on June 17, 2015. Mr. Roof was a drug and alcohol using high school dropout from a broken home, so the odds that he would end up a successful member of the middle class were against him. It sounds like he had some anxiety/depression issues, but I’ve not seen anything definitive.
"One of the major elements of the Nikki Haley story is Charleston," Bakari Sellers, a former Democratic politician from the Palmetto State, said following CNN’s town hall event with Haley.

"Nikki Haley did not take down the Confederate flag," Sellers added, attacking the 51-year-old governor for not ordering the Stars and Bars removed earlier in her tenure. "That bothers me when she alludes to it or people state that, because that’s incorrect. Nine people died so that the Confederate flag could come down."

"But there also has to be some credit given to a white governor from the deep South being able to go to nine funerals because I saw the exhaustion on her face — being a leader during that time and being able to bridge people together," Sellers also said.

CNN anchor Kaitlin Collins jumped in to correct the record shortly after Sellers finished, saying, "She is the first woman of color that is running in this."

"Did @Bakari_Sellers just call Nikki Haley a ’white governor’? What a joke," tweeted Haley’s communications director, Nachama Soloveichik, adding later in a statement that the former ambassador to the United Nations
...boodling on the grand scale...
"won’t cave to the liberal talking heads, and that’s what voters love about her."

#1  From Wiki,which is usually very circumspect when it comes to Democrat bios.
Bakari T. Sellers (born September 18, 1984) is a racist [!!] American attorney, political commentator, and politician. He served in the South Carolina House of Representatives for the 90th District from 2006 to 2014.

#4  Just did an archives search of Mr. Sellers — it didn’t occur to me to look for a minor CNN analyst last night. Results added at the bottom of the post. Thank you, Tarzan Grolump8219.

#5  CNN coverage of a candidate that is on the periphery of my radar is generally a low priority for me, but here is my comment, for what it is worth:
For Bakari and his ilk, in my opinion, Nikki’s background would be “white adjacent.” I have little interest in her actual upbringing because I don’t consider her trustworthy, but I believe my characterization of Bakari’s attitude is correct. He would group Korean Americans and Cuban Americans in the same way. Bakari, in his mind, is allowed to gatekeep groups and people out of what he considers to be true minority status. There becomes an arcane quasi science within liberal racism that disqualifies Ted Cruz then Nikki Haley and finally Tim Scott. This new thinking is akin to the Belgians dividing the Hutus from the Tutsis and issuing licenses to hate. Were Indians not oppressed by the white man? Why is she white?
Unlike Bakari I don’t care for identity politics, so Nikki’s character is important to me. For Bakari, race is all important so he needs so extra special ideas like “white adjacent” that allows him to value people using his true underlying calculus which is leftism. It is like an astrologist beginning with a diagnosis and working back through all the celestial influences to build a rationale. BLM similarly is leftism under a veneer of race politics.

#6  Within the "black community," there's more distinctions on skin hue than the Eskimos natives of the North allegedly have words for snow.

And if you don't think there's some discriminatory baggage there, you ain't paying attention.

#9  I live (and lived then) in SC and don't recall any inflammation of racial tensions after the Charleston shootings. In fact, a black church the very next day invited "all" to a prayer meeting, which my wife and I attended.

Blinken slams settlements, says ties with Arab world can’t replace peace with Palestinians
[IsraelTimes] ... in a speech to the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee in Washington.
Because the Obama Biden administration loves and supports Israel.

#1  Can't wait for some Russian minister to retort, ties with the world can't replace peace with Trumpsters.

#2  If we successfully rid ourselves of the Biden that is clogging our political toilet, it will be satisfying to Blinken, Buttigieg and all the rest spin around and clear the bowl behind him.

#5  Ref #2 above
Sometimes words create a powerful, visual image, and that one was well crafted, and fitting.

#6  Based on Blinken’s performance our national politic has consumed adequate iron.
