[Free Beacon] The far-left members of the Democratic "Squad" have fallen largely silent on the Boston rabbi who was stabbed eight times outside of a Jewish school.
Aside from Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D., Mass.),
...who said the things she ought, even if she doesn’t believe a word of it...
who represents the district where 24-year-old Khaled Awad
...Egyptian known wolf who has been in the U.S. for four years, possibly legally...
nearly murdered Rabbi Shlomo Noginski, none of the Squad members have condemned the anti-Semitic attack. The Washington Free Beacon contacted each of the House Democrats associated with the Squad—Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.), Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.), Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.), Jamaal Bowman (D., N.Y.), Cori Bush (D., Mo.), and Pressley—none of whom responded to requests for comment about the attack.
The attack comes as liberals like Bowman call for members to be more outspoken about "hateful" rhetoric. The New York representative shared footage of a group of Israelis participating in an anti-Arab chant and challenged his colleagues to "disavow" racism wherever it exists. "I represent many within the Jewish community who disavow and condemn this hateful language," Bowman wrote on Twitter. "So why does only a small portion of our Congress?"
The Squad members are largely silent as Democrats face yet another reckoning on anti-Semitism in their ranks. Omar was criticized by a dozen of her Jewish colleagues after she compared America and Israel to terrorist groups. Omar on CNN this week lambasted her Jewish colleagues for criticizing her, saying they were not "partners in justice."
The group of far-left Democrats rarely issues statements when Jews are victims of crime in America, even though FBI statistics routinely rank Jews as a top victim of hate crimes in America. They are far more likely to take to social media when victims appear to be from different targeted groups. Hours after reports emerged that actor Jussie Smollett was allegedly attacked on the streets of Chicago, for example, Ocasio-Cortez labeled it a "racist and homophobic attack."
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] Democratic reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel... Mayor Lori Lightfoot ...the diminutive and vacuous Heronner da Mare of Chicago. When the corpse count rises she blames the guns, which are banned anyway. A racist to the bone, Lori sez that people with the same skin tone all think alike, not quite getting the implications for a city with a population less than thirty percent black... said complaints of her having an ill-temperament is "about 99 percent" due to the fact that she's a black woman, according to Chicago Tribune.During an interview on Wednesday, a news hound asked Mayor Lightfoot how many of the complaints regarding her temperament were due to the color of her skin.
"About 99 percent," Lightfoot replied.
"Look at my predecessors. Did people say that Rich Daley held tea sessions with people that he disagreed with? Rahm Emanuel was a polite guy who was a uniter? No," Lightfoot said, according to the Chicago Tribune. "Women and people of color are always held to a different standard. I understand that, I've known that my whole life."
[NYPOST] Mayor Comrade Bill de Blasio ...cryptocommie mayor of New York and for some reason a Dem candidate for president in 2020. Corrupt and incompetent, his qualifications for office seem to consist of being married to a black woman, with whom he honeymooned in Cuba. He has a preppy-looking son named Dante, whose Divine Comedy involved getting his back hair up when a police car drove past him slowly. New Yorkers voted for him, so they deserve him... doubled down Friday on his controversial decision not to hire more cops even amid the Big Apple’s surging crime wave and after President Joe Biden ...... 46th president of the U.S., who gives the geriatric a bad name...... provided federal funds for the move.
When asked about The Post’s coverage of his decision not to bring on more coppers after receiving $6 billion in federal COVID-19 relief — which President Biden explicitly said could be used for tackling crime issues — the mayor told WNYC radio’s Brian Lehrer, "That’s not the whole reality.
"The money that the president focused was for certain cities that were dealing with much more profound gun-violence problems than New York is," de Blasio claimed during his weekly appearance on Lehrer’s show.
"We have a problem, Brian. I’m not trying to minimize it. We have a lot of work to do to turn around. But a number of other American cities unfortunately are going through much, much worse, and that’s where that money was targeted," de Blasio said.
The mayor had falsely claimed Thursday that Biden was talking about other cities when the president said federal coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... funding could be used to pay for more cops.
A White House source had told The Post that de Blasio was "incorrect.
"Cities like New York that are experiencing a spike in gun violence as a result of the pandemic are eligible to use [the] money to hire additional coppers above a pre-pandemic baseline level to help address that," the source said.

[photo caption at the link] Mayor Bill de Blasio said that “a lot of pieces are going to start coming together” that he expects will lead to fewer shootings across the city.

I expect to hear that they're hiring BLM activists as cops any day now.
[NYPOST] It’s a travesty, not a triumph: Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance’s long-running investigation (with New York Attorney General Letitia James) into the Trump Organization just produced ... indictments for minor offenses that almost never bring criminal charges.
But this is Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and whatever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... (well, his company), so normal standards didn’t apply.
The company’s chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg, walked in on his own — yet the prosecutors made a show of handcuffing him and walking him down a hall crowded with news hounds.
Vance acquired years of Trump Organization tax records, yet all he’s found is an alleged failure to pay proper taxes on corporate perks like cars, tuition and apartments. Any other company and it’s a civil suit, an audit, perhaps a hefty fine.
If Vance had any evidence suggesting serious fraud (as press leaks long suggested), he’d have included them already. MSNBC hosts and blue-checked Twitter are slobbering that the CFO will cut a deal and reveal the real crimes. Why hasn’t he flipped yet, they yell. Maybe because there’s nothing to flip on?
When it comes to Trump, liberals are giving Wile E. Coyote a bad name. We’ll get him this time! Just you wait!

Derek Chauvin's conviction is a travesty of justice. The murder trial of the guy in Texas who shot a BLM threatening him with AK-47, is a a travesty of justice.
Trump Organization indictments are a fart in a glass of water.

So Trump does business for decades with the New York-New Jersey construction industry -- which I understand is not operated by the Little Sisters of the Poor -- and this is what four years of investigation by a highly motivated federal prosecutor turns up? Trump must be entitled to some sort of merit badge for being the most thoroughly investigated man in history.

Definite scraping of the barrel's bottom; if multiple tax jurisdictions missed an extremely minor tax matter (de minimus / taxable fringe benefits), this is a chickenshit indictment.
[NYPOST] This week, White House press secretary Jen Psaki ...a valley girl who woke up one morning and found she was spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of State under Obama. A new American success story, under Biden she became spokeswoman for the whole administration, and she was even able to get her sister a job... unsheathed one of the most transparently ridiculous political talking points in memory, arguing that Republicans were the ones defunding the police because they failed to support the Democrats’ $1.9 trillion boondoggle COVID "rescue" package earlier this year. For starters, voting against a supplementary federal spending package isn’t the same as proactively cutting law enforcement funding or redirecting existing money — which is what progressives who support "defund the police" movement advocate.
Indeed, not a single dollar of the American Rescue Plan was ever reserved for law enforcement spending. State and local officials could, if they chose, allocate some of the relief funding towards law enforcement, but they there was no mandate to do so.
If Congress had written a bill that solely focused on increasing law-enforcement manpower — let’s call it the "Fund the Police Act" — very few, if any, Democrats would have voted for it.

Thereisn’t a poll in existence that shows even significant support for the Defund the Police movement among conservatives. A national poll by USA Today/Ipsos from earlier this year found that 34 percent of Democrats supported the effort — even though many believed it was a straight cut in funding. Sixty-seven percent of Democrats support redistributing portions of police budgets towards social programs, compared with only 16 percent of Republicans.
On the other hand, plenty of local and national progressives have openly called for defunding the cops. When Barack Obama observed “defund the police” tends to hurt Democrats, Rep. Ilhan Omar pushed back, asserting that it was “not a slogan but a policy demand.” Democrats like Cori Bush, Kamala Harris, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and, yes, Joe Biden — who, when asked, “Do we agree that we can redirect some of the funding?” answered, “Yes, absolutely” — all backed defund police efforts to some extent.

Given the nano-second attention span of this new generation that is limited to what is on their smart phone/table/CRT screen as they decide.

When Barack Obama observed “defund the police” tends to hurt Democrats, Rep. Ilhan Omar pushed back, asserting that it was “not a slogan but a policy demand.”
A policy demand is even more negative than mere hypocritical sloganizing. But Representative Omar is one of those with more hair than brains.

The Ministry of Truth has dropped the old narrative down the Memory Hole. It never happened. Forget all those videos and news articles that you read stating otherwise. Put them out of your mind. This is the narrative now and you will accept it if you know what's good for you.

Fukk off, you mendacious disgusting assholes
"Defund the police" was YOUR lunatic formula.
You own it. Man up and admit your stupidity... for once
[FREEBEACON] President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. The very model of probity.... has a problem, and her name is Kámala Harris Former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's former mistress, then a senatrix from California, and then a former 2020 Dem presidential hopeful. She dropped out because she was polling in negative numbers because of racism. Her father is a Marxist professor emeritus at Stanford and her mother is an Indian of the Hindoo tribe. She is reputedly the proud descendant of a long line of women. Joe Biden picked her for her skin tone, feeling she could also bring in the Native American, women's and bimbo votes. She's displaying her level of competence in her handling of the Biden Border Surge . The vice president has become a comic figure in today’s Washington—a politician given to missteps and unforced errors who inspires neither loyalty nor trust within her inner circle. She might have been Biden’s safest pick for running mate. But now she’s a liability for both the president and the Democratic Party.It’s not just that Harris is unpopular. Her unique combination of falsity and incompetence generates negative press and endangers her dreams of succeeding Biden. For Harris, the month of June has been an extended replay of highlights from Veep, the HBO comedy starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus as a clueless and floundering politician on the make. Only Harris isn’t laughing.
