Mayor of Chicago calls Gaza war ‘genocidal’ ahead of DNC

2024-08-19

[ALJAZEERA] Brandon Johnson

...Hizzonner da Mare of Chicago. He was elected in April 2023 to replace the disastrous Lori Lightfoot and immediately set about out-Richtering her. A member of the Democratic Party (naturally), Johnson previously worked as a social studies teacher in the city's stellar public schools system. He helped organize the 2012 teachers strike. Prior to becoming Da Mare, he served on the Cook County Board of Boodlng Commissioners from 2018 to 2023...
, the mayor of 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…
, has referred to Israel's war on Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
as ''genocidal'' in an interview with Mother Jones magazine, ahead of the Democratic National Convention, which begins in Chicago on Monday.

A vain attempt to mollify the ravening horde. Do enjoy your little political convention, my dear.

''What's happening right now is not only egregious, it is genocidal,'' Johnson, a progressive Democrat, said.

''We have to acknowledge and name it for what it is and have the moral courage to exercise our authority.''

US Democratic Presidential candidate Kamala Harris
It is time for us to do what we have been doing. And that time is every day
is expected to face antiwar protests during the convention, including from delegates from the ''uncommitted'' movement.

Harris, Walz lies prove it's a working-class election

2024-08-13

The stealing class has figured out that it's a working-class election.

You can tell by what they pilfer.

By ''stealing class,'' I mean the Harris-Walz campaign in particular, and the party of big government in general.

They exist, and flourish, not by creating new wealth and ideas, but by stealing the produce of others.

In Harris' case, that means shamelessly stealing Donald Trump
...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
's ''no taxes on tips'' proposal and floating it as if it were her idea, something made less plausible by Kamala's lifelong history of not having original ideas.

But it's meant to show that she cares about the working class.

In Walz's case, what he stole was valor, posing as a combat soldier when he never was, and claiming he retired as a Command Sergeant Major when he didn't actually do so.

Instead he abandoned his unit, taking early retirement rather than deploy, an act that caused even his old unit's chaplain to call him ''cowardly.''

That's a working-class issue because most of our combat soldiers share a working-class background, and Walz was pretending a solidarity with them that he never actually earned.

Well, hypocrisy is the tribute that vice pays to virtue, and by pretending to care about working-class people, the 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...
are telling us that they think it's a working-class election.

The press — which decades ago was filled with working-class news hounds but is now stocked with elite journalists — is focused on issues like trans rights, ~~child sacrifice~~ abortion, gun control and the like.

And those issues do matter to the college-educated Karens who are the biggest consumers of news media today — but the working class is busy working, or trying to, and has been doing much worse ever since 2020.

Trump's four years in the White House were the first time the working class made gains since the early 2000s, and while the press and its audience may not care, you can bet that working-class people do.

The working class has also been most affected by various foreign wars and disasters, like Biden's humiliating skedaddle from Afghanistan. It's been most affected by the urban riots and crime waves spread by Democrats' woke policies.

By suddenly starting to take account of working-class issues, even if they have to steal to do so, the Harris-Walz campaign is telling us that they know that.

And they're not the only ones.

As Ruy Teixeira wrote in these pages not long ago, ''Working-class (non-college) voters will likely determine the outcome of the 2024 election.''

Teixeira estimated they will comprise about two-thirds of eligible voters in November, and even higher in all the key swing states — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Worse yet for the Dems, many of the minority voters they expected would produce their ''new Democratic majority'' — a term coined by Teixeira in the 1990s before reality set in — are not only unmoved, but are positively repelled, by woke issues like trans rights, ~~child sacrifice~~ abortion, defunding the police and more.

But hey, if Harris takes your kid away from you because you won't let him or her be surgically mutilated, at least she won't make you pay taxes on your tips.

The problem for the Democrats is that they haven't been the party of the working class for a long while.

They're now the party of billionaires, well-off college-educated whites, especially unmarried white women, and their poor client groups — though even those clients are getting a bit restive.

It's the Republicans who are now a multiracial party of the working class. Which is especially a problem for Dems in a working-class election.

It's not all bad news for the Democrats: They retain the political equivalent of air superiority via their control of the legacy media, which since Kamala was selected has reached new levels of obsequiousness, and of most social-media platforms.

It'll be fun to watch places like Mother Jones and Rolling Stone, which mocked Trump's no-tax-on-tips proposal as a ''lame political stunt'' and the like, spin on a dime and praise Kamala's genius in helping out America's oppressed waitresses.

I don't have a great track record on political predictions, and this election — complete with an liquidation attempt the press has done its best to erase from memory — defies all experience.

But the press hype is all about atmospherics and vibes, and while Democrats are hoping for a ''vibe'' election, there's a certain vibe when the utility bill arrives, too.

That may stick more with voters than the natterings of pundits.

Election Deniers Are Overseeing Elections in 17 States

2023-09-18

[RollingStone] FULLY ONE-THIRD OF U.S. states have election deniers in some of the highest positions overseeing elections. That’s according to a new report from States United Democracy Center highlighted by Mother Jones.

Although many election deniers lost their races in the 2022 midterms, States United, a non-partisan organization, found that a total of 23 election deniers now hold statewide office positions that give them influential oversight over elections in 17 different states. This includes seven governors, five secretaries of state, and 11 attorneys general.

In the state of Alabama, election deniers hold all three of those powerful positions. Gov. Kay Ivey has claimed the left "stole" the 2020 election from Donald Trump, and Attorney Gen. Steve Marshall has refused to acknowledge that Joe Biden was "duly" elected. Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen has perpetuated false claims of voter fraud and supported Marshall’s endorsement of a suit filed by Texas claiming widespread voting irregularities in the 2020 election.

"From inside the halls of government, these Election Deniers are using their powers to weaken free and fair elections," the center wrote in its report.

Many of these election deniers used election lies, including false claims of widespread voter fraud, to fundraise for their campaigns. Nine states have removed themselves from the Electronic Registration Information Center, which was designed to ensure the accuracy of voter rolls. Some election deniers have used their power to limit donations to fund election administration, while others have created or expanded units that prosecute election crimes, despite voter fraud being exceedingly rare. Others have denied the election more subtly, including claims that the indictments against Donald Trump are some form of election interference.

The center defined election deniers as candidates who falsely claimed Trump won in 2020 or attempted to undermine the integrity of the 2020 election, who refused to concede an election themselves or supported another candidate who refused to concede, who called on or pressured election officials not to certify results of the 2020 election or a subsequent race, or who spread election-related conspiracies and lies about 2020 or later elections.

Biden's new appointee to Intelligence Advisory Board suffered ‘acute mental health crisis' and was unable ‘to get out of bed'

2023-02-02

[American Thinker] Is it wise public policy to appoint someone like this to an ultra-sensitive intelligence advisory board? The apparent motives behind this move are as questionable as the appointment itself.

Joe Biden’s handlers are attempting to sell the public on the absurd notion that, as he reportedly said yesterday, global warming "is the single most existential threat to humanity we have ever faced, including nuclear weapons." There is no scientific proof at all that CO2 controls the climate, only flawed models of the admittedly far more complex climate that do not work to predict what actually happened, when retroactively applied to data from the past.

Meanwhile, the US is escalating the conflict in Ukraine by supplying more sophisticated weapons, risking nuclear retaliation by Russia, followed by escalation into nuclear Armageddon. Even the lefty Union of Concerned Scientists is alarmed to the point of advancing its doomsday clock closer to midnight than it ever has been.

The desire to sell climate hysteria and distract from reckless warmongering may have something to do with the appointment of a woman to his Intelligence Advisory Board, who, in my opinion, already is hysterical on the subject of climate, so much so that she has been unable to handle ordinary life functions by her own confession, something that is part of the definition of mental illness, colloquially known as being a head case.

Collin Anderson reports for the Free Beacon:

Biden on Thursday tapped Brown University climate scientist Kim Cobb to serve on the President's Intelligence Advisory Board, the White House announced in a press release. While past presidents have used the board to probe high-profile national security threats and intelligence failures, it's unclear whether Cobb will be able to stomach such sensitive and unsettling information.

That's because the mere news of Trump's upset win in 2016 sent Cobb into "an acute mental health crisis" that for weeks saw her unable to "get out of bed, despite having four children to tend to," the climate scientist told Mother Jones in 2019. "I could not see a way forward," Cobb recalled at the time. "My most resounding thought was, how could my country do this? I had to face the fact that there was a veritable tidal wave of people who don't care about climate change and who put personal interest above the body of scientific information I had contributed to."

Professor Cobb (Twitter via the Free Beacon)

I am not a psychiatrist, but being unable to care for her 4 children sounds like a severe mental breakdown, one that had serious potential risks to the welfare of the children. That this was occasioned by election news that she didn’t like raises grave questions about her ability to handle information that she finds stressful. I suspect that members of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board see highly disturbing information. What if Professor Cobb learns of a threat greater than the presidency of Donald Trump? Will she be able to function? Will she be able to protect classified information?

Given the unfolding scandal of Biden’s mishandling of classified material, appointing someone with self-reported mental issues seems an unwise risk.

Rep. George Santos, has stepped down from the House committees he was on

2023-02-01

He strikes me as a gregarious sort, who wouldn’t enjoy being shunned by his new colleagues.

[PUBLISH.TWITTER]

JUST IN: Rep. George Santos, the New York Republican whose falsehoods about his background have drawn interest from both prosecutors and late night comedians, has stepped down from the House committees he was on. https://t.co/ePp6HDvWlZ
— HuffPost (@HuffPost) January 31, 2023

Rep. George Santos, the New York Republican whose falsehoods about his background have drawn interest from both prosecutors and late night comedians, has stepped down from the House committees he was on.

"We just got out of conference and George has voluntarily removed himself from committees as he goes through this process, but ultimately voters decide," said House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.).

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy
...the GOP house majority whip. He replaces Eric Cantor, who got whupped because his politix are like Kevin McCarthy's...
(R-Calif.) told news hounds Santos’ move was an appropriate one "until he can clear everything up."

Santos was appointed to two of the lowest-profile House committees, the Science, Space and Technology panel and the Small Business Committee.

The news comes only days after the Department of Justice had signaled it was likely pursuing a criminal investigation of Santos by asking the Federal Election Commission to hold off on its own probe. Mother Jones magazine has also reported the names or addresses of more than a dozen of Santos’ biggest listed campaign donors could not be confirmed.

The possible campaign finance violations join a long list of things Santos appears to have been untruthful about, including much of his self-described background. Santos’ troubles with truth telling have become fodder for late night comedians including Stephen Colbert, who on Monday night made fun of his singing ability.

The move also came as House Republicans are mulling how to keep a Democratic House member, Rep. Ilhan Omar

...Somali-American Dem representative from Minnesota. She was apparently married to her brother and may be her own grandmaw on her mother's side...
(D-Minn.), from joining the House Foreign Affairs Committee, where she served last Congress.

Republicans have said Omar should not be seated because of what they say are anti-Semitic comments in her past, but Democrats see it as payback for them not allowing two Republican 2020 election deniers to join the House panel that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

Is Sidney Powell Secretly Funding the Oath Keepers' Lawyers? The Feds Want to Know.

2022-06-23

[Daily Beast] Federal prosecutors in the nation’s capital are trying to drag several lawyers representing indicted Oath Keepers before a judge to make them explain how exactly they’re getting paid, citing a concern that conspiracy theorist Sidney Powell is actually covering the legal tab.
And...so? Is that illegal? Is it even unseemly? They should be told to pound sand
On Wednesday, the Department of Justice asked a federal judge to intervene to ensure that members of the armed, anti-government paramilitary group have "competent and conflict-free" attorneys.

They cited recent reports in Mother Jones and BuzzFeed News that laid out how Powell’s political group, Defending the Republic, has quietly funded several defense lawyers.

Candace Owens scandalizes house candidacy of Klacik

2021-07-23

By Orland Avendano

[ElAmerican] A small Twitter feud turned into multiple, heavy accusations. Former Republican Party candidate for Congress for Maryland’s 7th Congressional District, Kimberly Klacik, is facing strong accusations about her past and possible fraud with campaign funds. The accusations are being leveled by none other than influential conservative personality and Daily Wire’s host, Candace Owens.

The struggle over the representativeness of black community support generated tensions between conservative commentator Candace Owens and Kimberly Klacik, who consolidated herself as a conservative influencer in social media despite her unsuccessful congressional bid. Finally, the tension manifested itself in a disagreement over President Biden’s recognition of Juneteenth as a national holiday.

Because of the disagreement, which escalated, Candace Owens claimed she had found out “incredible” information about Kimberly Klacik and would soon reveal it. This Tuesday, June 22, Candace Owens took the plunge: she revealed, after investigating, that Klacik allegedly has a foundation that functions as a front, was a stripper, used campaign money for personal expenses, and committed donation fraud.

Klacik, meanwhile, denied Owens’ allegations. Her lawyers, she explained, will act against Owens and The Daily Wire. The former candidate blocked Owens from her social media. She also disabled comments on her Instagram and Twitter posts.

Newspaper Colludes With Dems to Doxx, Run Hit Piece Against Opponent of Critical Race Theory

2021-07-02

There are few things more exciting to local news journalists than when their coverage area serves as a topic of national discussion. Whether it’s positive or negative, local newspapers and news channels often jump at the opportunity to use their personal connections to participate in the story. It’s natural.

But when the topic of discussion is one that is ideologically opposed to the newsroom in general — and in much of America, that newsroom ideology is often leftist — activist journalists tend to "defend their territory" by being adamantly opposed to the point of contention. In the case of The News Tribune, a local Tacoma-area newspaper, they felt the need to collude with local Democrats to attack conservative journalist Christopher Rufo.

Their hit piece attacking Rufo and defending Critical Race Theory is rife with inaccuracies. First and foremost, the very notion the CRT "is a legal doctrine, encountered mostly at the graduate level" is ludicrous prima facie. One does not need to be a top-notch investigative journalist to know that CRT is spreading across the country and being taught in grade schools on up. It takes the highest degrees of gaslighting skill to claim anything otherwise with a straight face.

As for their perspectives on Rufo being the "architect of the campaign" attacking Critical Race Theory, they’re doing what a few leftist publications have done. They want to isolate and attack a singular messenger rather than address the message itself. Rufo is a great journalist and has been on top of this from the beginning, but to call him the architect of the campaign to suppress the Neo-Marxist ideologies taught through Critical Race Theory would be like calling CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
’s Jake Tapper the architect of the Russian-collusion story. Yes, both have been loud about their particular pet projects but neither can be considered the architect.

The article goes on to "doxx" Rufo as a local Gig Harbor citizen. This is dangerous, especially when we consider the radical progressive activity in the area that has caused physical harm to conservative journalists in the past. But they didn’t just "doxx" him. They pulled in local Democrats to demonize him. From the article:

"A white guy working out of a home studio in Gig Harbor is behind all the scripted talking points and drama you hear about CRT," wrote Justin Camarata, a former Tacoma city council member and chair of the 27th District Democrats, on his Twitter feed.

"It was certainly surprising," said Jennifer Butler, a Peninsula School Board candidate. "It was a very fascinating article, and when I got to the part where it said Gig Harbor, I went, ’Whoa, well there you go. ... These conversations are happening all over the country."

The twin stories painted Rufo, who moved to Gig Harbor from Seattle last year, as a conservative criminal mastermind who has nearly single-handedly convinced millions of alarmed Americans — including former President Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
— that children are being taught their country is irredeemably evil and racist, and that white people should feel guilt and shame about their race.

This is worse than bad activist journalism or dangerous doxxing. This is a series of lies used to perpetuate a blatantly false narrative while building a bogeyman to attack along the way. The News Tribune should retract this harmful story immediately.

Mass Shooters Aren't Disproportionately White

2021-03-24

In which a deep dive into the statistics is committed. The key one:

[Slate] In this bigger data set, the proportion of white mass shooters drops down to 56 percent, by my count. Judging by those newer numbers, and the most current census estimate that 76.9 percent of Americans are white, the whites-are-overrepresented-among-mass-shooters meme appears even less accurate. Perpetrators that Mother Jones classifies as Asian make up 7.4 percent of the data set, versus an estimated 5.7 percent of the population, while those MoJo identifies as black represent 17.0 percent of the mass shooters in the database versus an estimated 13.3 percent of the population. According to this data set, then, Asians and black Americans are overrepresented among mass shooters by about the same proportion (a bit more than one-fourth) that whites are underrepresented. This means the population rate of mass shootings by whites (at least according to the tiny sample measured in the MoJo database) is 0.021 per 100,000 people, while the corresponding rate of mass shootings by blacks is 1.7 times higher, at 0.037.

This disparity, which could be thought of as the statistical non-whiteness of mass shootings, is much smaller in magnitude than the one for killings nationwide. Overall murder rates among black Americans are 6.3 times higher than they are for whites, according to a report from the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Another report suggests white offenders made up just 45.3 percent of everyone who committed homicides between 1980 and 2008.* In other words, white Americans may be somewhat underrepresented among mass shooters, but they’re even more underrepresented among all killers.

Democrats Have Objected to Electoral Vote Certification For the Last 3 GOP Presidents

2021-01-02

[PJMedia] Democrats are outraged that Republicans are planning on objecting to the certification of electoral votes. It’s "conspiracy and fantasy," says 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 45.07573 years. Senate minority leader as of 2017...
"The effort by the sitting President of the United States to overturn the results is patently undemocratic," the New York Democrat said. "The effort by others to amplify and burnish his ludicrous claims of fraud is equally revolting."

"This is America. We have elections. We have results. We make arguments based on the fact and reason—not conspiracy and fantasy," he added.

There’s only one problem with Chucky’s "argument based on fact and reason." Democrats have been challenging the electoral vote certification for 2 decades.

The last three times a Republican has been elected president — Trump in 2016 and George W. Bush in both 2000 and 2004 — Democrats in the House have brought objections to the electoral votes in states the GOP nominee won. In early 2005 specifically, Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., along with Rep. Stephanie Tubbs, D-Ohio, objected to Bush’s 2004 electoral votes in Ohio.

In fact, the Ohio electoral vote challenge was only the beginning. Rumors and conspiracy theories swirled around the outcome on election night that saw Bush winning Ohio by a close, but the surprisingly comfortable margin of 120,000 votes. So why are so many of these headlines familiar to us today?

‘Destroy Trump Ballots' Demands NYT, Atlantic Mag Writer

2020-11-02

[AnationalPulse] Jon Schwarz, who is also published at mainstream outlets including The New York Times and The Atlantic, also advocates for illegal immigrants to vote repeatedly in presidential elections.

Schwarz identifies himself as an alum of filmmaker Michael Moore’s Dog Eat Dog Films and "a research producer for Moore’s "Capitalism: A Love Story."

"He’s contributed to many publications, including the New Yorker, the New York Times, The Atlantic, the Wall Street Journal, Mother Jones, and Slate, as well as NPR and "Saturday Night Live," his bio also claims.

Schwarz’s Twitter account, however, contains a litany of tweets advocating for the destruction of "Trump ballots" dating all the way back to 2016.

In response to a user insisting he visited a voting site "to fake IDs & assist in ferrying illegals from polling station to polling station," Schwarz responded "let’s not rest on our laurels though, everyone’s needed in Wisconsin to destroy Trump ballots during the recount" in December of 2016.

let's not rest on our laurels though, everyone's needed in Wisconsin to destroy Trump ballots during the recount

— Jon 👻🎃👻 Schwarz (@schwarz) December 7, 2016

Schwarz also reacted to a Huffington Post Editor tweeting: "i love my job working at a voting site in washington dc destroying trump ballots," which prompted a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) probe, by insisting he "want[ed] to emphasize to the FBI that, while @nickbaumann was joking, I was completely serious. I am not kidding."

He appears to be referencing his countless tweets supporting the destruction of pro-Trump ballots.

Boasting he has "destroyed 1000s of ballots", Schwarz added, "it’s weird the FBI is investigating Nick for jokes when I’m the one who destroyed 1000s of ballots."

it's weird the FBI is investigating Nick for jokes when I'm the one who destroyed 1000s of ballots

— Jon 👻🎃👻 Schwarz (@schwarz) December 7, 2016

What’s more, Schwarz added that he felt "at least 75% of the MSM, including me, has a side job destroying Trump ballots" just days before the 2016 election.

My guess is that at least 75% of the MSM, including me, has a side job destroying Trump ballots pic.twitter.com/8kg5VYNSQB

— Jon 👻🎃👻 Schwarz (@schwarz) November 1, 2016

Schwarz continued, tweeting an acknowledgment that "lots more people want [Trump] to be president," adding "but that’s why we destroy the ballots, otherwise wouldn’t bother."

well lots more people want him to be president but that's why we destroy the ballots, otherwise wouldn't bother

— Jon 👻🎃👻 Schwarz (@schwarz) November 1, 2016

Schwarz also tweeted "it’s not a felony, it’s legal to destroy Trump ballots" and "no, the constitution says you can destroy trump ballots."

Schwarz’s more recently social media activity includes sharing an article entitled: "The Election Isn’t Over Until Trump’s Gone," which furthers the suggestions made by groups like the Transition Integrity Project, which called for "street fights" in the wake of a Trump victory.

Appeals court halts arbitrary extension of ballot-counting deadline by a federal judge

2020-09-29

[American Thinker] The arbitrary rewriting of election laws and rules by partisan judges is but one of many tricks that Democrats are using to steal the election. Federal judges in Wisconsin and Georgia and the state Supreme Court of Pennsylvania have all extended the deadlines for receiving and counting mailed in ballots for the November election, while a New York federal judge extended the deadline for a primary election in that state.

The game is to give enough time to discover how many ballots are needed and then provide them by hook or by crook, as is already being done in Minneapolis by the Ilhan Omar machine.

In essence, the judges in the above cases have decided that they don't like the law, so they will change it to suit their own preferences.

Fortunately, in the case of Wisconsin, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals (on which Judge Coney Barret currently sits) has issued a stay. Dan Friedman of Mother Jones sadly reports:
