Chickens For KFC

Just like Chickens voting for KFC, Jewish Democrats voting for Abdul El-Sayed have yet to realize that denial is not just a river in Africa. 

From the "Vote Blue No Matter Who" types (Query does that include Hitler?  it did include a man with a Nazi tattoo until the Dems figured out he wasn't going to win so....); to the "He's just anti-Israel not anti-Jewish types"; to  the "He doesn't really mean it, and hey Medicare for all";  to the "Better an Islamist than a Republican" types;  the Jews that vote for El-Sayed and his ilk are badly deluded at best or complicit at worst. 

Op ed writier Nikki Vinkier is one of them:

The Detroit Free Press: I voted for Abdul El-Sayed. He needs to cut ties with Hasan Piker | Opinion

I voted for Abdul El-Sayed. I wanted him to win. And when he did, I was thrilled. I was relieved. And almost immediately, I was scared. Because while I was celebrating, I was hearing from Jewish friends, family and community members who felt angry and betrayed. Many said they would never vote for him in November.

Yep, unlike Nikki some Jewish Democrats actually read his statements, viewed his actions, and who he associates with, and used their brains and will not vote blue no matter who.  That this is what Nikki is scared of, rathert than the clear threat posed by El-Sayed and his ilk is just precious.

But worry not, her op-ed gets worse. 

I watched criticism of the Israeli government repeatedly become conflated with hatred of Jewish people. I also watched legitimate fears about antisemitism become tangled in political rhetoric and, at times, dismissed altogether. As a result, many Jewish Democratic Michiganders are entering the general election feeling as though they cannot even consider supporting El-Sayed.

Those people doing the conflation are El-Sayed and his key supporters and main voting block, yet you voted for him Nikki.

It also requires an honest conversation about El-Sayed’s response to the attack on Temple Israel in West Bloomfield.

To be clear, El-Sayed unequivocally condemned the attack.

Except he did not, Nikki, even as you yourself note: 

He called it heinous and evil, said antisemitism has no place in our communities and affirmed the right of Jewish people to worship safely. He repeatedly said there was no justification for what happened. But he also repeated the phrase “hurt people hurt people” and drew a direct line from the deaths of the attacker’s relatives in Lebanon to his decision to target a synagogue.

He condemned and did not condemn it at the same time and blamed the "cycle of violence" for it and his "hurt people hurt people" bit to excuse it. 

Sayed also willfully held back on discussing the Iranian dictator's death due to it upsetting his Islamic constituents and supporters - which would be a concern about him to most people, but you gloss right over that.   

Anyhoo, Nikki keeps on trying to  drum up support for El-Sayed and figures out the solution: he should dump Hasan Piker with his America deserved 9/11 and his multiple antisemitic and anti-American rants, that'll do it:

There is one more barrier El-Sayed must address: His continued association with Hasan Piker.

I do not believe being seen with someone means automatically endorsing everything that person has ever said. But many Jewish friends I have spoken with felt El-Sayed’s response to their concerns about campaigning with Piker was insufficient. Then they watched Piker livestream from El-Sayed’s election-night party.

At some point, continued association becomes a choice. If El-Sayed wants to earn the trust of Jewish voters who are not with him yet, he must be willing to hear why that relationship concerns them, and show them where his own boundaries are.

Good luck with that one there, kapo. 

Abdul campaigned alongside Piker, he agrees with Piker, he's not going to give him up because he and Piker are in lockstep.  He needs Piker, no matter how much you'd like to delude yourself otherwise. He's not just seen with Piker, Piker campaigns for him and he's on the stage holding hands with Piker because they believe in the same things:  Hating America, Hating Jews, and Hating Capitalism even as they both get rich from it.

Thank goodness some Democrat Jews are finally realizing  the Progressive Islamic Nazi-fest the Democratic Party has become.  Meanwhile people like Nikki still don't get it - or even worse they do and still choose to give up their birthright for a progressive mess of pottage.

Democrats Love Illegals So Much

They will even pardon convicted pedophile rapists to stop them from being deported.

Yes, really. 

The Daily Mail:   Minnesota's Democrat Governor Tim Walz pardons illegal migrant PEDOPHILE who raped girl aged 10 to stop the predator from being deported

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has pardoned an illegal immigrant who was convicted of raping a ten-year-old child to stop him from being deported. 

The Democrat was part of a three-person panel that granted clemency to Tou Lue Vang, 42, who was set to be sent back to Laos due to his horrific child sex crimes. 

Vang admitted to repeatedly sexually abusing the child for four years when he pleaded guilty to first-degree criminal sexual conduct in 2006, and at the time he justified his actions by claiming it is a 'cultural thing' to 'marry and have sex with girls as young as 12.' 

 This gets even worse as the scumbag had been given a reduced sentence and no jail time on the condition that he was to be deported. 

His plea deal allowed him to avoid jail time but face deportation, a fate he has now been spared by Walz and the other two members of the panel, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and Minnesota's Chief Supreme Court Justice, Natalie Hudson.  

Yep, they really did it, and let a pedophile walk.

AG Keith Ellison even defended it and compared the pardon to those made by Trump - which is quite the what-aboutism. The reaosning seems to be since Trump pardons people, Ellison can pardon pedophiles.  Quite an argument, that.

So yep, the Party that keeps yelling "Epstein"-- even when it is clear that had Trump been in the files having done anything criminal it would have been leaked by Democrats long ago now, seems to have no problem pardoning pedos.

Funny, that. 

Juneteenth

As much as Democrats made Juneteenth a national holiday in order to attempt to maintain America's racial wounds and keep Blacks on the Democrat plantation by pandering to the grievance mongers, we should instead celebrate it in line with its original intent:

Juneteenth commemorates Republicans taking action and freeing slaves from their Democrat masters.

Democrats have been mad at Republicans ever since. 

Democrats Becoming The Party Of Terrorism?

Jane's Law says it well: “The devotees of the party in power are smug and arrogant. The devotees of the party out of power are insane.” 

When five out of eight arrested terrorists in a single case are not just progressives but full fledged members of the Democratic party, it certainly constitutes evidence that the Democrats, the party out of power, has indeed gone insane, or at least back to their historic roots.  

The Detroit News: 5 UM threat case suspects were Democratic Party members, ex-chair says

Yes, Democrat party members are the majority of the terrorist suspects. Five Democrat party members, and one of them not just a member but a paid campaign staffer for US Senate Candidate Abdul El-Sayed. 

Well, Democrats are currently busy supporting Hamas, Hezbollah, the Mullahs of Iran, BLM, and any other anti-American group they can find so it's really not a reach for the party membership to get hands-on, now is it?

BCBS Insurance Change Major Threat To Michigan Mental Health Care

Right when we need more mental health treatment in this state, Blue Cross Blue Shield is about to serious mess up insurance and thus the provision for mental health services in this state.

Click on Detroit: ‘Devastating’: Michigan mental health care workers concerned BCBSM billing change could cut access to counselors

BCBS is the big dog in Michigan health insurance coverage, and they run the vast majority of insurance coverage for people in this state.  This change to mental health billing and in essence not covering therapy by limited license practitioners is going to massively reduce the number of eligible practitioners to be able to be provide treatment ,and prevent limited license practitioners from getting paid for hours they do in practice before they are fully licensed. And they can't ever get fully licensed without doing a ton of direct patient hours.

We already have a mental health crisis in this state and not enough practitioners to handle the load, and this is going to make it worse. 

More mentally ill people and everyday people in crisis not getting covered treatment and thus not getting treatment - what could possibly go wrong?

One would think the government might intervene in such decisions,  given BCBS' almost monopoly power in this state, but given the governor we have, don't count on it.

That's because BCBS has Governor Whitmer in their back pocket.  Indeed, that would be an understatement.  Her father was the former CEO of Blue Cross, and that's not the least of the ties.

Heck, she was practically installed as governor by BCBS.

Detroit Metro Times: Blue Cross has given more cash to Whitmer than any Michigan gov candidate in past decade

The Intercept: A Blue Cross CEO Encouraged a Michigan Woman to Get Into Politics. Now She’s Running for Governor and Says Single Payer Is Unrealistic

Don't expect the governor to step in against this destructive coverage decision anytime soon.

When it comes to the Gov's claims about being for "the people" of this state, the people sure take a back seat to the largest insurance company in the state. 

A Brief Medical Question For The Experts Out There

In 2024, if you were suspecting someone was having a stroke, was the medical protocol in place at the time to immediately take them to a Waffle House?

Asking for a doctor.

Compare And Contrast The Response To "Teen Takeovers"

CBS News: Detroit Mayor Mary Sheffield says city will address downtown teen takeovers:

 After several incidents in which large groups of teenagers took over  downtown Detroit, city leaders say they are developing a plan to address it.     

. . . 

While there is some perception that Detroit officials and the Detroit Police Department have been somewhat silent on the issue of these downtown takeovers, since these events began, Detroit Mayor Mary Sheffield says a lot is happening behind the scenes to ensure that these takeovers don't get out of control. 

"It's a comprehensive, interdepartmental, all-hands-on-deck approach to assure that we're addressing the needs of our young people," Sheffield said. 

In a one-on-one interview with CBS News Detroit on Wednesday at DPD headquarters, Sheffield says the social media trend is top-of-mind with city officials, police and community intervention groups. Sheffield says the city is taking a holistic approach to addressing the issue and believes it's also an opportunity to serve the youth. 

"We didn't experience what other cities did as far as safety," Sheffield said. "Kids came out; they wanted to hang out; they wanted a place for something to do. So we're trying to make sure that we're addressing that need of making sure that young people have a safe space to be occupied and engaged throughout the upcoming summer months." 

The response from the teens in addition to continued takeovers, some fights and a shooting clearly has taken this strong and unambiguous message to heart: 

Deandrae Morgan said he plans to continue organizing Detroit "teen takeovers," despite Detroit police officers asking him last week to remove social media posts calling for young people to congregate downtown during a weekend that saw one peaceful gathering and another marred by a nonfatal shooting and brawls involving hundreds of combatants. 

Compare Detroit's wishy-washy response to that of Mayor of Pontiac and Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard when a  Teen Takeover was threatened for Pontiac: 

ClickonDetroit: Teen takeover gatherings spread to Pontiac, prompting safety warnings following Detroit chaos 

Similar unpermitted gatherings are now being advertised on social media in Pontiac.

Mayor Mike McGuinness said Pontiac officials and the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office moved quickly after seeing one such event promoted online Friday.

“If folks are looking to get crazy or act up, Pontiac, Michigan, ain’t the place,” McGuinness said.

McGuinness said deputies were stationed “at every major intersection in downtown Pontiac” as a precaution this past Friday. 

Result:  No teen takeover and no mass teen violence in Pontiac. 

Funny how enforcing the law and not putting up with disorder and crime works.

Jocelyn Benson And The Democrats Claim There's No Issues With Elections They Run

But, at the same time, they can't manage to run their own candidates' election without some serious problems that call into question if the winners actually won - including voters' votes not counting, and people voting who were not supposed to vote.

Then again, those are rather typical issues that crop up in Democrat-run elections, innit? 

The Detroit News: Mystery lingers if some Michigan Democratic convention votes counted

Ten Michigan Democrats said initial records from the party's April 19 convention inaccurately reflected what they thought their votes were, raising new questions about the system used to nominate candidates for attorney general and secretary of state.

... 

Candidates have already contended that more than 200 people cast votes from outside the convention hall when, according to party rules, they were supposed to be there in person to participate. 

Ironically enough, numerous Democrat party personalities such as Dana Nessel are calling for an audit of the voting process for the candidate seleciton, which they otherwise shy away from.  Funny, that. 

The voting irregularities may have led to progressive Karen Macdonald losing the Attorney General selection to the even more progressive Eli Savit, as it is possible that enough votes to tip the balance seem to be shown to not having been voted at all - when voters believed they had done so.

Michigan Democrats can't even conduct their own internal election without major irregularities, but we are told they can definitively run the state's upcoming elections in a free and fair manner.  And certainly, you better not even ask for an audit of the election results.

Gov Whitmer's Pal Procrastinatingly Prosecuted

As a Michigan Democrat, you can steal from the state, but you're not supposed to be overly blatant about it, or even worse, show highly conspicuous and gauche taste in doing so.

I mean, for Democrats, it's one thing to steal $20 million from the state as a non-profit, but to spend $4,500 of it on a coffee maker and $40,000 for personal furniture? How very déclassée! 

The facts have been known for over two years now, but only now is Fay Beydoun, a prominent Democrat and Governor Whitmer's friend and fundraiser, to whom the governor steered the grant,  getting prosecuted.

Michigan Department of Atotrney General: AG Nessel Charges Fay Beydoun with 16 Felonies for Stealing Global Link International Grant Funding

The Detroit News: Fay Beydoun hit with 16 criminal charges in $20M earmark scandal

The two year delay likely was done to further protect Whitmer from her role in arranging for the $20 million grant, and there are some cracks in the current Michigan Democratic coalition between the progressive-Islamic and the left-but-sane factions that are allowing some of this to bubble up.  

Given how the Beydouns are a clan with ties and sympathies with Hezbollah, it'll be an interesting question as to how much of the stolen money went back to Lebanon or was used for propaganda purposes here in addition to Democrat graft.

Interesting political times for Democrats in Michigan.

Not What A Rainy Day Fund Is For

Michigan Democrats are indeed profligate spenders.

The state's budget and spending has increased by 50% just under Governor Whitmer's term to date alone.

But that's still not enough spending for Michigan's Democrats.

Instead they want to increase it, and to do so have to tap into the state's emergency fund to do so.

The Detroit News: Michigan Senate dips into rainy day fund for $88B budget plan.

Everyday budgeting is not what a rainy day fund is for, but the Democrats see a pool of money and want to spend it now rather than wait for an actual revenue shortfall where the funds would be needed. 

That means under this budget state government spending is around $8,800 for  each and every resident of Michigan. If asked I don't believe most residents of Michigan would say they're getting their money's worth under this plan - especially those actually paying the taxes to cover it.

The 19 Democrats in the Senate voted for this increase, and 18 Republicans were opposed, so yet again the headline is a tad misleading.  It wasn't the Senate, but the Democrats in the Senate pushing this through.

The House has not approved this yet, so there's still hope that some responsible budgeting may yet prevail.

Convenient And Interesting Timing On CNN's Part

So, what faction of the Democratic Party wants Mallory McMorrow out of the US Senate race for Michigan that they had CNN run with the dirt it found on her?

CNN: ‘Make me miss California’: In deleted tweets, Senate candidate Mallory McMorrow disparaged Middle America

 MSN: Mallory McMorrow campaign hit with resurfaced tweets showing progressive views

Not to mention the tweets show her clear disdain of Michigan, which is not a good look when you're running as the Democrat candidate for US Senate from Michigan. 

So, after the Michigan Democratic Party endorsed progressive pro-Hamas Defund ICEr Abdul El-Sayed as their preferred candidate, the two remaining opponents in the race for the Dem Primary were Mallory McMorrow who is essentially progessive-lite, and Haley Stevens, who is a mainstream-ish Democrat, with Mallory trailing in the polls right behind Abdul.

So, was this timely drop the progressive pro-El Sayed faction trying to get her eliminated to clear the progressive space on the ballot?

Or, was this the more centrist and less insane pro-Stevens faction that figured hopefully correctly, that Michigan really wasn't ready for an Islamist Progressive Marxist candidate that hangs out with the guy that calls for murdering his political opponents and that America deserved 9/11?

So, anyone got K-Files to retrieve El-Sayed's deleted tweets yet, as his existing ones are bad enough? 

The New York Times Whistles Past The Trend Of Leftist Political Violence

Today, in The New York Times The Morning Newsletter, the paper decided to discuss the attempted assassination of President Trump yesterday with this lovely example of willfully avoiding a discussion of Leftist violence.

The guests at the dinner included many whose lives had previously been affected by gun violence, including Trump, Erika Kirk and Representative Steve Scalise, who was shot at a congressional baseball game practice in 2017.

The New York Times blithely ignores the common theme in all of these acts of "gun violence" - the perpetrator in question was a leftist in each and every one:

President Trump's current attempted assassin was a progressive leftist from California, spouting Democrat talking points. The prior one in September 2024  in Florida was also from a  registered Democrat. The one before that in July 2024 in Butler, PA was yet another progressive.

Erika Kirk - Charlie Kirk, her husband, was, you guessed it, killed by a leftist.

Steve Scalise - shot by a Bernie Bro. 

Funny how the New York Times fails to both notice and not comment on this trend, but just waves it away with the canard of  "gun violence".

Remember When

The Democrats were all against "Stochastic Terrorism" and political violence?

Good times, those.  These days, not so much: 

Yes, that is an official County-level Democratic Party post lamenting that the latest leftist assassination attempt against President Trump failed. 

Beer Street Journal: Minocqua Brewing Is Going Viral. Not For Their Beer.

On Saturday night, authorities say 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen stormed the lobby of the Washington Hilton armed with guns and knives and opened fire before being subdued by Secret Service agents. Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and several cabinet members were evacuated from the venue. 

Hours later, Minocqua Brewing Company of Minocqua, Wisconsin posted to its Facebook page: “Well, we almost got #freebeerday. Either a brother or sister in the Resistance needs to work on their marksmanship or he faked another assassination to get a positive news cycle. We’ll never know. Regardless, we stand at the ready to pour free beer the day it happens.”

The owner of  Minocqua Brewing Company is a Democrat operative and former state-level candidate and runs a Democrat state-level PAC.

Yahoo News:   Kimmel calls Melania Trump an ‘expectant widow’ before White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel mocked President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump in a White House Correspondents' Dinner parody this week, calling her "an expectant widow" and joking about her marriage, just days before the dinner was disrupted by a shooting. 

MSN.com: The left's rising new star Hasan Piker endorses terrorism, violence and suggested the president should be assassinated

The Democrats have continued their tantrum and refusal to accept democratic norms since losing the election, and have continued to advocate for violence against their opponents ever since. 

The Democrats sure are Sowing the Wind, and it is more than high time that they stopped before this gets out of hand. 

When There Are Insufficient White Racist Extremists Available

The SPLC allegedly paid millions to create them.

US DOJ:  Federal Grand Jury Charges Southern Poverty Law Center for Wire Fraud, False Statements, and Conspiracy to Commit Money Laundering

Between 2014 and 2023, the SPLC secretly funneled more than $3 million in donated funds to individuals who were associated with various violent extremist groups including the Ku Klux Klan, Aryan Nations, and National Socialist Party of America

A Grand Jury in Montgomery, Alabama, today returned an indictment charging the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) with 11 counts of wire fraud, false statements to a federally insured bank, and conspiracy to commit concealment money laundering.  The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Alabama Northern Division filed two forfeiture actions to recover alleged proceeds of the organization’s fraud scheme. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) investigated this case with assistance from the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI).

“The SPLC is manufacturing racism to justify its existence,” said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. “Using donor money to allegedly profit off Klansmen cannot go unchecked. This Department of Justice will hold the SPLC and every other fraudulent organization operating with the same deceptive playbook accountable. No entity is above the law.”

$3 million dollars certainly can assist in funding extremists who otherwise would be stuck in their mother's basements, and turn them into much more visible and active boogeymen for fundraising. 

Should be quite the interesting case, and it looks like the Southern Poverty Law Center is going to need some good lawyers.

Michigan Democratic Party Goes Full Progressive Islamist

And you should never go Full Progressive Islamist.

It's a Red-Green alliance all the way now for Michigan's Democratic Party.

The Party voted to have Hasan Makled, a Hezbollah-supporting anti-semite for the Board of Regents at the University of Michigan, removing seated Michigan Jewish Democrat Jordan Acker.

The Detroit News: Finley: Michigan Democrats use convention to embrace antisemitism

Michigan's Democratic Party then went on to endorse Abdul El-Sayed for US Senate - the same Abdul El-Sayed who has Hasan Piker campaigning for him and won;t disavow Piker for saying the USA deserved 9/11, and who didn't want to talk about the death of the dictator Khamenei as it might upset his constituents, and who hand-waved away the attack on Temple Israel by saying, similar to Ilhan Omar's some people did something, that hurt people can hurt people.

The convention, while having a whole bunch of Palestinian flags flying had an almost complete lack of American flags present - the only one seen was being carried by a lone pro-Israel Democrat who had both an American and an Israeli flag. 

Even some Jewish Democrats are finally waking up as to how far the Overton Window has shifted and that the Michgian Democrat Party is now the party of progressive socialism, Islam, and antisemitism:  Lakoom: The only Israel supporters on the Floor.

The Michigan Democratic Party is now outright in support of Hezbollah, Hamas, and Iran.

This ain't your parent's Democratic Party.  Heck, it is not even America's anymore. 

Gun Controller Advocates' Projection

Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax was touted as  a "Gun Safety Champion" and feted by Giffords.   Gun Safety Champion is gun control advocate speak for Gun Banner.

He was the decisive vote for Virginia's Red Flag Law, a law that was touted as reducing violence with firearms by confiscating them from those suspected of potentially being a danger to themselves or others with them - a with a lack of proper due process to boot.

In short, he was a major advocate for gun bans under the guise of gun control.

And he just shot and murdered his wife before killing himself.

Bearing Arms: Former Lt. Governor and Giffords 'Gun Safety Champion' Kills Wife, Self in Northern Virginia

If his murder of his wife wasn't such a stupid and unforgivable criminal waste, one might almost be amused at the irony of his actions. 

Gun banners once again projecting their own homicidal violence onto the law abiding rest of us.

One should note that all of the laws that  Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax passed, every single one of them, did nothing to stop him from murdering his wife and then offing himself.

A Convenient Scandal: Swalwell, The Media, and the California Democratic Shakeout

Democrats and the mainstream media have a rather incestuous relationship, where they benefit and cover for each other.

Now that the Democrats need to whittle down the field of potential Democrats running for governor of California due to the jungle primary system that they created, Eric Swalwell has to go.

You see, California Democrats instituted a jungle primary where the top vote-getters, regardless of party end up on the ballot.

The idea behind the jungle primary was to eliminate Republicans as candidates for office.

However, with such a large field of Democrats running this time, with none of them willing to conceded, this has created the potential for the unthinkable - the two Republican candidates may end up being the sole survivors of the primary with the larges share of the primary vote.

The Democrats can't have that. Would seriously upset the one-party apple cart.

So, the Democratic field of candidates must be reduced and if they won't leave, willingly, conditions must be arranged to make them drop out.

PJ Media: The Morning Briefing: Eric Swalwell's Gubernatorial Bid Gets Hit By the #MeToo Train

So, and funny how that happens, credible allegations of serious sexual assaults that happened over many years, on the part of Swalwell have suddenly and most conveniently surfaced now. 

It knocks him out and serves as a message pour encourager les autres  that if there's dirt on them and they're not a star of the party, they may want to step back.

So why reference the media?  Because the Democrats and the mainstream media both knew about his activities, and both covered it up so long as he was a party member in good standing:

 

Yep, this reporter is stating Swalwell's behavior towards women was known - since 2013 - yet neither he, nor other reporters, nor the Party, breathed not a word of it or gave it any coverage til now when it is politically convenient to do so. 

Democrats talk about a War on Women and they sure are fighting the War on Women all right - on the women. 

The Dems are cosplaying with Handmaid's outfits while tolerating sexual harassment and outright assaults on women so long as the perpetrators have  (D) behind their name, and the media both covers it --and covers it up -- for them.

Mamdani Bans Times Square Public Celebration of America's 250th Anniversary

meaww.com: Fact Check: Did Zohran Mamdani ban celebrations for America’s 250th anniversary in Times Square?

The answer is yes, yes he did.

The fact that the reason given is that there is insufficient police resources to protect the celebration is most convenient indeed -- considering it is his deliberate budgetary decisions reducing police resources. 

A special Times Square ball drop for America’s 250th birthday will still happen, but most people won’t be able to attend in person. Organizers confirmed that the event will take place at midnight on July 3, even after Mayor Zohran Mamdani introduced an emergency rule that limits many public events during the FIFA World Cup period in New York City. 

Rather pathetic, that.  

Mamdani has over $165 million to spend on funding for legal defense for illegal immigrants, but can't be bothered  and claims the city cannot afford to protect a celebration of America for Americans.

One of America's leading cities, indeed one that considers itself to BE the leading city, will not be holding a public celebration of this nation's 250th Anniversary.

Quite pathetic, but quite in character for Mayor Mamdani. 

Democrats Have Syed Enough

Democrat candidate for US Senate Abdul El-Sayed not only will not discuss the death of Ayatollah Khamenei as it might upset some of his supporters he also won't disavow Hasan Piker, an anti-American and Anti-Semitic piece of garbage - who he is touring with on his campaign.

The Detroit News: Abdul El-Sayed, Hasan Piker target critics, Iran war at Michigan events

Abdul El-Sayed has steadfastly refused to disavow Piker, who has said, among many other things, that the United states "deserved" the 9-11 attack.

Politico: Michigan Senate candidate El-Sayed declines to disavow Hasan Piker’s past comments

 What should have been an easy lay-up to try and lie to voters that he is a moderate, but El-Sayed was having none of it.

In short, he's a Democratic progressive candidate who hates America - but hey, he's claiming to offer free Healthcare, so credulous and traitorous Democrats will love him for it. 

In other news, yet another progressive Michigan Democrat candidate, Amir Makled, running for University of Michigan Board of Regents, was caught extolling terrorist group Hezbollah and making anti-Semitic comments on his Twitter feed:  The Detroit News: University of Michigan regent hopeful deleted posts praising Hezbollah leaders.

Democrats having lost the average American, are having dalliances with decidedly anti-American, anti-liberal and Islamic elements. 

This is a rather bad look for the opposition party to be consorting with supporters of anti-American terrorist groups. It's a sad commentary on how far the Democrats have fallen off the deep end and gone from a party of and for America to one being a home for and supporting the enemies of America.

Justice Sotomayor Must Be Happy That

She is now certifiably not the dumbest justice sitting on the Supreme Court:

 Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson steals that prize from Sotomayor, easily.

The Federalist: Justice Jackson’s ‘Turning Japanese’ Argument Is So Dumb It Stuns

One may hope, but certainly not expect, that the Democrats have learned not to use DEI as a selection criteria for picking Supreme Court justice candidates in the future.
