Wasserman Schultz rejects NY Times report on voters seeing Democrats as ''slow'' and ''passive''

2025-05-28

[NYPOST] Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz
...Congresswoman from Florida, the abrasive chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee. She has been a politician since 1992, and prior to that was in training as a political science major. Her primary accomplishment seems to be that she's Jewish...

...which still proudly claims Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
report that included research comparing the Democratic Party to ''slow'' and ''passive'' animals, telling CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
on Tuesday that she was worried about ''human beings.''

'''Republicans are seen as apex predators like lions, tigers and sharks, beasts that take what they want when they want it. Democrats

...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...

''And then a little bit later there was a respondee who said the Democrats are like deer in headlights. How is it that you think that the Democratic Party has earned these descriptions?''

''I'm not focused on the animals that some New York Times news hound compares the political parties to. My constituents are human beings, and the human beings that I represent are facing devastating health care cuts, the most significant health care cuts that have been ever handed down by any administration,'' Schultz responded.

A Democratic man from Georgia who participated in the focus group and was the one who described the Democratic Party as a ''deer in headlights'' went further to describe the state of the party.

Victims of random punchings in NYC blast NYPD response

2025-05-28

The watchamacallum game is fashionable again? Joy.

[NYPOST] Victims of ~~violent~~ mostly peaceful random sucker punching assaults in the city say they are being left gobsmacked a second time by the NYPD's response to them.

Four people who suffered random attacks told The Post they didn't feel police took their cases seriously — even though two resulted in arrests.

Last Wednesday author and influencer, Kindra Hall, 44, got punched in the head by a person she did not know on the Upper East Side.

She managed to get iPhone footage of the ~~violent~~ mostly peaceful brute walking away and called cops, but maintained it took officers took more than 30 minutes to arrive. She also claimed they appeared disinterested when they got to her.

“Even after showing the video with the guy shouting threats, [NYPD] acted like it wasn’t a big deal. I remember saying, ‘So since I’m not bleeding, a punch to the head is ok?!’” she wrote on Instagram.

Officers were thankfully able to track down and arrest the man who allegedly punched her, later IDed by police as 43-year-old Yao Reed. Police told The Post officers were under duress at the time and responding to multiple calls, including shots fired.

Others who’ve endured irrational attacks have not fared so well in terms of resolution.

Sarah Harvard, a 31-year-old stand-up comic and writer, was walking on Delancey Street in her Lower East Side neighborhood. Then, “All of a sudden, I felt a huge whack to the back of my skull. Obviously, it hurt. My brain felt rattled.”

The 2024 incident happened in front of Mt. Sinai Hospital and, after filing a police report, Harvard asked the responding detective to obtain footage of the assault.

“He said, ‘Well, it’s going to be a huge process; we’ll have to get a warrant,’” Harvard recalled to The Post. “Then they were hard to get a hold of. A couple weeks later, or a month later, I got a call from the District Attorney’s office. They said they caught the guy and wanted me to testify.”

VDH - About The So-Called Trump-Ramaphosa 'Ambush'

2025-05-27

[ZERO] Nothing highlights the poverty of the media-Democratic mind than its weary use of echo-chamber buzzwords.

Once Pravda-like instructions are sent out from DNC operatives, mindless media anchors mouth them in lockstep as gospel.

So, it was with the supposed "ambush" when South African President Cyril Ramaphosa met Donald Trump. Trump indeed pressed his guest on a number of issues, from the decades-long targeted killing of white agriculturalists on their farms by black hit teams that have totaled somewhere between 1,500 and 3,500, depending on how one defines such targeted killings.

Trump further wanted an explanation from Ramaphosa on his government’s new legislation aimed at land confiscation without compensation, and the de facto vanishing number of Boer farmers.

Trump was further bewildered by Ramaphosa’s assertion that the new law would not be used to take private property without paying for it ("No, no, no, no. Nobody can take land"), when in fact that was the very purpose of the new legislation in the first place.

Trump also showed Ramaphosa videos highlighting a resurgence of South African extremism of the tired "Kill the Boer" sort.

The dictionaries define "ambush" roughly as "a surprise attack by people lying in wait in a hidden or concealed position."

Ramaphosa’s visit was no surprise. He, not Trump, requested it. Ramaphosa spoke openly to the media before the meeting that he was planning to convince Trump that there were neither widespread killings of white farmers nor arbitrary confiscation of land.

Donald Trump shares shocking theory about Clinton 'assassinations'

2025-05-19

Shitposting, amirite? Troll level: whatever.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] President Donald Trump has shared a shocking conspiracy theory linking Bill and Hillary Clinton to a series of high-profile deaths.

Trump shared an explosive video on his Truth Social account on Saturday accusing the powerful political couple of eliminating several enemies and potential threats over the decades.

Titled 'THE VIDEO HILLARY CLINTON DOES NOT WANT YOU TO SEE', the footage attempts to connect the former First Lady and her husband President Bill Clinton, to a string of deaths including those of John F. Kennedy Jr., DNC staffer Seth Rich, and former White House lawyer Vince Foster.

Trump didn't offer any comment of his own to accompany the bizarre post.

The controversial footage pushes the 'Clinton Body Bags' conspiracy theory that has circulated since the 1990s.

The video shockingly claims that Hillary Clinton was somehow involved in JFK Jr.'s fatal 1999 plane crash because he was allegedly a 'frontrunner' for the New York Senate seat she would later win.

‘Remember John F Kennedy Jr? He was declared the front runner for the New York Senate seat back in 1999 days later, his plane crashed into the Atlantic Ocean, and his rival Hillary Clinton was elected senator,’ the video begins.

Blue-haired NYC perv with long rap sheet busted for groping women

2025-05-01

[NYPOST] A deranged blue-haired brute went on a sick crime spree in Manhattan this week, groping four women — one of them blind — and lighting another unsuspecting victim's hair on fire, police and prosecutors said.

Edwin Page — a 28-year-old from Harlem with at least 10 prior arrests and more than a dozen mental health outbursts, according to sources — is now charged with sex abuse, forcible touching and assault as a hate crime in the rash of broad-daylight attacks across Chelsea and Midtown South.

''He stands before the court charged with five separate incidents involving five different strangers,'' Assistant District Attorney Shara Safer said in Manhattan Criminal Court Wednesday, adding the incidents were captured on surveillance video.

Martha MacCallum Obliterates Condescending Teacher Union Boss Randi Weingarten During Segment on America’s Failing Schools

2025-04-23

[THEGATEWAYPUNDIT] One of America's biggest villains received an epic beating on Fox News today when she tried to defend the indefensible and insulted her interviewer.

Randi Weingarten, the President of the American Federation of Teachers, is the chief proponent of trapping everyone in failing public schools and refusing to hold crooked school authority figures accountable.

She was also arguably the loudest advocate for shutting down schools during the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused irreparable harm to the cognitive development of many children across the country.

Weingarten was invited on Fox News's ''The Story with Martha MacCallum'' to discuss the ongoing public school failures and pornographic books prevalent throughout school libraries.

Things got heated quickly when MacCallum lit up Weingarten for slamming school choice and for saying we should throw more money at the problem.

''So, if we can find other areas around the country where the proficiency levels are also ABYSMAL and should be embarrassing to every education organization, then we can start making assessments and say it's because of (school) choice or money,'' MacCallum said. ''We know that money does not equate to a better outcome.''

MacCallum cited an example from New Jersey that proves her astute point. Upon hearing this, Weingarten lost her patience and attempted to patronize the Fox News anchor.

''Martha, Martha, sweetheart,'' she began before an angry MacCallum cut her off.

''Don't call me sweetheart!'' MacCallum fired back.

Russia-linked hackers targeting European diplomats with invites to bogus wine tasting events

2025-04-17

[FoxNews] APT29 hacking group is believed to be connected to Russian intelligence services

A Russia-linked hacking group unleashed a new "advanced phishing campaign" targeting European diplomats with invites to fake wine tasting events, according to a report.

Check Point Research said the APT29 group is trying to "impersonate a major European Ministry of Foreign Affairs to send out invitations to wine tasting events, prompting targets to click a web link leading to the deployment of a new backdoor [malware] called GRAPELOADER."

"This campaign appears to be focused on targeting European diplomatic entities, including non-European countries’ embassies located in Europe," the cybersecurity firm said in an advisory, noting that the emails with malicious links included subject lines such as "Wine tasting event (update date)," "For Ambassador’s Calendar" and "Diplomatic dinner."

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency said last year that APT29, which also goes by the names of Midnight Blizzard, the Dukes, or Cozy Bear, is "a cyber espionage group, almost certainly part of the SVR, an element of the Russian intelligence services."

MoveOn.....NO!

2025-04-15

[News With Views] Americans have become accustomed to "going-along to get-along," but there are some things that we just can’t move-on from without confronting the issue and fixing what was broken. In a nation focused on precedence rather than the rule of law, we cannot allow bad precedence to stand.

Our Founders knew this day would come... "all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed;" — Declaration of Independence, 1776

The MoveOn.org domain name was registered on September 18, 1998, following the September 11, 1998 release of the Independent Counsel Starr Report. The organization founders were computer entrepreneurs Joan Blades and Wes Boyd, the married co-founders of Berkeley Systems, an entertainment software company based in San Francisco.

It was originally created to oppose the impeachment of then President Bill Clinton, who had been caught sexually abusing a young intern in a room off the Oval Office, lying about it to the American people, and under oath. Clinton was indeed impeached by the House and even convicted by the Senate. But he was not removed from office due to a massive grassroots campaign led by the DNC and folks at MoveOn.org.

Today, that operation is a full-blown extreme left community organizing operation under the new domain front.moveon.org. Along with the DNC ACT BLUE international money laundering scheme, BLM, ANTIFA, the WEF, WHO, Davos Group and UN, and hundreds of Soros NGOs and "non-profits" scattered all over the globe, this is the Obama "community organizing" machine responsible for the ongoing efforts to "fundamentally transform America" into a 3rd world Marxist toilet. It’s also the money machine for every anti-American protest and riot on American soil.

Today, treason from within is as common as the sunrise and despite a lot of political chatter about it, nobody ever seems to face treason charges. It all emanates from these organizations and is deeply embedded throughout the U.S. government, all in the democrat party and some in the republican party, often referred to as "the deep state" or "shadow government" actually running things in America.

Americans need to face the reality that our country is under siege, swamped with immoral and unethical anti-American Marxists and dumbed-down fruitcakes, hanging from the proverbial cliff by our fingernails, and the fight would already be over had we not stopped another stolen election last November.

To be clear, the newly minted Trump administration should have already frozen all related funds pending the outcome of criminal investigations into the anti-American actions of these groups. I don’t know why they haven’t, but it likely has something to do with the following...

At the epicenter of it all in the USA is one Barack Hussein Obama, the American leader of the "cultural revolution" not unlike the revolution that destroyed China many years ago. His entire history is one great big fat fraud.

The utter destruction of the USA since 2009 has been massive. Citizens who remember what America was like before can barely recognize the country today, and they fear for their children and grandchildren’s future.

Obama’s unlawful occupation of our Oval Office isn’t just the biggest fraud ever perpetrated on the American people...it is an overt act of treason.

[NYPOST] CNN contributor Scott Jennings got into a heated back-and-forth with Tiffany Cross on a panel discussion Wednesday night during which the pro-Trump commentator reminded the former MSNBC host that she was let go from her gig at the Comcast-owned cable network.

The tense debate took a personal turn during a segment on ''CNN NewsNight'' when Jennings, who recently signed a lucrative deal to stay at the Warner Bros. Discovery-owned outfit, brought up Cross' abrupt exit from her former network.

''You got fired from your job. How relevant are you?'' Jennings told Cross during the discussion.

Fifth Column

After months of slamming Elon Musk threat, Democrats refuse to say whether their inflammatory rhetoric caused attacks against Tesla owners

2025-04-06

[FoxNews] Rep. Summer Lee, D-Pa., refused to label the attacks as even violent, saying, '"Violence" is against human beings'

Some of the attacks have been against human beings. Deliberately, and recorded by the vehicles in question. Do you now admit to pushing terrorism, O honourable Congresscritter?

After taking to social media to announce he was ditching his Tesla because it was made by an "a--hole" he claimed is damaging the country, Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., refused to say whether Democrats’ inflammatory rhetoric against Elon Musk is to blame for the ongoing spate of attacks against Tesla owners and dealers across the country.

Kelly also refused to say whether the attacks — some of which have involved shooting at and throwing Molotov cocktails into dealerships — qualify as "domestic terrorism."

The Arizona senator admitted that "it’s certainly vandalism and it’s a crime, a significant crime, especially if you firebomb a car or vandalize somebody’s vehicle, or even key somebody’s vehicle, you shouldn’t be doing it."

From the same party that once upon a time winked at the boyish shenanigans of the KKK.

While Kelly said those responsible should be tried and prosecuted, pressed by Fox News Digital on whether the attacks qualify as terrorism, he responded, "I think we've got to tread lightly on the whole ‘terrorist’ word."

"Sometimes trying to expand this thing, it kind of loses its focus," he said. "But when folks are vandalizing people’s vehicles or dealerships, it is wrong and it is dangerous. Somebody’s going to get hurt. For that reason, we should let the full force of law enforcement get to this problem and prosecute it."

There have been at least 80 acts of vandalism against Tesla vehicles in the U.S. and Canada, and at least 10 incidents of vandalism and arson against Tesla dealerships, charging stations and properties.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has said the Justice Department is investigating the incidents as "domestic terrorism."

Leading Democrats, however, have been largely silent on the issue, with few being willing to condemn the attacks as acts of terrorism.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., who, in a 2023 CNN interview, accused Republicans who criticized her of engaging in "stochastic terrorism" — that is, incitement of violent political action — also refused to say whether Democrats’ anti-Musk rhetoric should be held responsible for the attacks.

Fox News Digital asked Ocasio-Cortez whether she sees a connection between language against Musk and the violent incidents across the nation.

Cortez began to answer, saying, "Yeah, I mean, again, I’ve seen Republicans call me ‘communist’ and that I ‘hate this country,’" before trailing off.

Meanwhile, Rep. Summer Lee, D-Pa., refused to label the attacks as even violent, saying, "While I have no opinion on what’s been going on, I actually haven’t been following that much, but let’s be precise about our language — ‘violence’ is against human beings."

Asked about Democrats’ rhetoric, Lee said it is important to "recognize the difference between the frustration of people that is maybe organic, but also the language that is coming from people who are in power."

"Donald Trump

...The cad! Twice caught beating wimmin!...
is in power and he’s abusing that and it’s going to harm people and has already," she said. "Because of the rhetoric from the administration, because of the rhetoric from the right, we’re seeing American citizens being picked up, we’re seeing a lot of profiling that’s happening, I think that that’s incredibly dangerous and again those are being perpetrated against people."

Rep. the mealy-mouthed Steny StinkyHoyer
...Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi's second banana, or plaintain, or mango, or whatever he is. Number Two, anyway...
, D-Md., also attempted to turn the question around, saying President Donald Trump "in effect… told people to resort to violence" at his rally on Jan. 6, 2021.

Hoyer said he discourages anyone from resorting to violence but advocated for peaceful ways of telling Trump and Musk "how angry we are."

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, who has been warned by Bondi to "tread lightly" after seeming to threaten Musk by calling for him to be "taken down," refused to answer the question, while her security got into the face of the Fox News Digital reporter.

Republicans, in the meantime, hammered that the attacks are obvious examples of terrorism.

Rep. Addison McDowell, R-N.C., pointed out that "when we boycotted Bud Light over their support over these radical issues, we didn’t just say, ‘We’re going to burn down Bud Light manufacturers.’ We just didn’t buy it."

"What you see these woke, radical liberals doing to a car they used to want championed, is lighting them on fire, destroying property, that’s not how adults behave," McDowell said, adding, "they’re behaving like criminals."

Of Course They Are: Democrats Suing Trump for Trying to Prevent Non-Citizens From Voting — RedState

2025-04-03

[REDSTATE] The Democratic Party has filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump
...The man who was so stupid he beat fourteen professional politicians, a former tech CEO, and a brain surgeon for the Republican nomination in 2016, then beat The Smartest Woman in the World in the general election. Then he beat Kamala while dodging bullets...
over an executive order designed to maintain integrity in federal elections.

Because, of course they are.

The suit, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia on Monday, cites several plaintiffs, including most notably the Democratic National Committee (DNC (If you're white you ain't right!)
<span class=Inverse>DNC</span> (<q>If you're white you ain't right!</q>)

...Democrat National Committee, where all those off-the-wall talking points originate...
), House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
...Senator-for-life from New York, renowned for his love of standing in front of cameras and microphones. Schumer has been a professional politician since 1975, when disco was in flower, which is 49.32405 years. Senate minority leader as of 2017...
(D-NY).

It's nice that Schumer and Jeffries got over their tiff long enough to join forces to stop the President from keeping non-citizens from voting.

"In the United States of America, the President does not get to dictate the rules of our elections," the court filing reads.

The suit's introduction goes on to suggest Trump was trying to "corrupt" the election process. Corrupting the process by ensuring only citizens vote. What a bizarre argument.

"The Framers of our federal Constitution foresaw that self-interested and self-aggrandizing leaders might seek to corrupt our democratic system of government to expand and preserve their own power," they write.

''Although the Order extensively reflects the President's personal grievances, conspiratorial beliefs, and election denialism, nowhere does it (nor could it) identify any legal authority he possesses to impose such sweeping changes upon how Americans vote," they added.

The lawsuit takes particular exception to the portion of Trump's executive order demanding proof of citizenship for registering to vote by mail.
