NYPD Sergeants Union ‘Declaring War’ on de Blasio: ‘We Do Not Respect You’

Legal Insurrection
“NYPD cops have been assassinated because of you. This isn’t over, Game on!”

"The NYPD’s Sergeants Benevolent Association (SBA) tweeted to NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio that the cops are “declaring war” on him after a man tried to assassinate two cops.
"Robert Williams faces charges of attempted murder, criminal possession of a weapon, and resisting arrest. Williams allegedly injured 41 Precinct Lt. Jose Gautreaux on Saturday night as he sat with another officer in a marked patrol van.
"Williams opened fire on the 41st Precinct on Sunday morning. He injured Officer Paul Stroffolino. Williams only surrendered when he ran out of bullets.
"De Blasio tweeted out praise for the police and scorn for the gunmen. But if you know the history between them it sounds like he said it just because he had to say something. (I listed the topics we previously covered with de Blasio and the NYPD)
"Obviously the union did not fall for it." . . .
President Donald Trump reacted to the shootings with a tweet that criticized New York leadership overall. The SBA agreed with Trump, which likely irritated de Blasio.

Jewish Democrat Dov Hikind booted from Rashida Tlaib event: 'What about your anti-Semitism?'

Mr. Hikind, who is Jewish, then yells at Ms. Tlaib, “What about your anti-Semitism? What about your blood libel against Israel?”

Washington Times



"Former Democratic New York state assemblyman Dov Hikind was escorted by police out of an event featuring Rep. Rashida Tlaib after he shouted a question about anti-Semitism.
"Ms. Tlaib, Michigan Democrat, was the guest speaker at an event Saturday at Rutgers University, titled “A Global Crisis: Refugees, Migrants, and Asylum Seekers — Lessons from the Prophet Muhammad,” which was organized by the group Muslims4Peace, Fox News reported Monday.
"Mr. Hikind tweeted a video of the moment when he interrupted Ms. Tlaib’s speech and was immediately manhandled by an attendee and eventually escorted out of the room by police.
"In the clip, Mr. Hikind is able to stand up and say, “What about your—,” before a man comes up from behind and forcefully grabs him.
. . ."University police officers then approach Mr. Hikind and the crowd breaks into a “Rashida” chant. Mr. Hikind continues yelling but is drowned out by the chants as the officers escort him out of the room." . . .

Those 'stuffy' Americans

Charlotte Cushman  "On Saturday, February 8, 2020,  Jennifer Lopez defended the recent Super Bowl halftime performance with Shakira which has been criticized for being sexually inappropriate. Here is her defense: “a celebration of women and the Latino culture.”
      “ 'The message of standing up for yourself, being a women -- that’s what I want to pass on to little girls -- everything about you -- be proud of it,” she said. “I’m very proud of the performance that night.”
Take your child to work day.

     "I would like to know what she was standing up for that night and what exactly she wants to pass on to little girls.  Does being a woman mean being a stripper, grabbing your crotch, and spreading your legs to an audience? That is standing up for oneself as a woman? Is the message to little girls that the essence of being female is their vagina?  Imagine the uproar if men had the same message about their intimate body part.
     "There has been some discussion about this issue on Facebook. Americans have been called “stuffy” and “white centrist” for criticizing the show.  One person said that we still have a long way to go in the acceptance of different cultures. Lopez said it is a celebration of the Latino culture.
     "I don’t buy the “Well, it is just their culture so we should accept it” argument.  That is multiculturalism, which holds that all cultures are equal.  I don’t agree. Some cultures are better than others, some are worse. Some are wicked:  Some cultures kill homosexuals, some chop off heads, some treat women as less than human.  Are we to regard those cultures as equal to ours? 
     "I resent the idea that we, Americans, are to bend over backwards to understand other cultures that are coming into our country, but they don’t have to understand us.  How about some understanding and sensitivity towards our culture? Sex is a value in our culture (or it was). Taking the sacred act of sex, and dragging it through the muck is offensive to people who value sex, but those of us who find aberrant sexual behavior offensive are not supposed to complain, and are accused of being white-centric and stuffy. 
     "Gyrating one’s groin in public in order to imitate the sex act is not okay when done by anyone of any sex in any culture. If you want a civilized society where men and women respect each other as humans with brains, instead of just groins, then it is time to re-evaluate those behaviors no matter what the culture of the participants.
     "A culture doesn’t deteriorate overnight, it happens step by step.  What was considered outrageous years ago, is considered normal today because the people who objected didn’t say anything.  As time goes on things continue to spiral downwards until you have an immoral culture.  That is happening to us.  Multiculturalism has paved the way for Americans to back away from sticking up for western culture."

Remember this from 2017: Bernie Sanders to Traditional Christians: Your Beliefs Are Indefensibly Hateful and Insulting, and Not What This Country Is Supposed to Be About

The Gospel Coalition     "An exchange between Senator Bernie Sanders and the potential deputy White House budget director, Russell Vought, who is an evangelical Christian.


. . . Vought: Absolutely not, Senator. I’m a Christian, and I believe in a Christian set of principles based on my faith. That post, as I stated in the questionnaire to this committee, was to defend my alma mater, Wheaton College, a Christian school that has a statement of faith that includes the centrality of Jesus Christ for salvation, and . . .Sanders: I apologize. Forgive me, we just don’t have a lot of time. Do you believe people in the Muslim religion stand condemned? Is that your view?Vought: Again, Senator, I’m a Christian, and I wrote that piece in accordance with the statement of faith at Wheaton College . . .Sanders: I understand that. I don’t know how many Muslims there are in America. Maybe a couple million. Are you suggesting that all those people stand condemned? What about Jews? Do they stand condemned too?Vought: Senator, I’m a Christian . . .Sanders: I understand you are a Christian! But this country are made of people who are not just — I understand that Christianity is the majority religion, but there are other people of different religions in this country and around the world. In your judgment, do you think that people who are not Christians are going to be condemned?
. . . " Article VI of the US Constitution forbids what Bernie Sanders is doing, declaring that “no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.' ” . . .

Democrats failed the debate question on Qassem Soleimani

Washington Examiner  "At the New Hampshire Democratic presidential primary debate on Friday, Democrats failed when questioned on whether they would have authorized the U.S. military strike that killed Qassem Soleimani.
"Soleimani, commander of the covert action arm of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, was killed in a January U.S. drone strike in Baghdad. President Trump authorized that strike in response to Soleimani's efforts to organize attacks on U.S. interests in Iraq and the broader Middle East, and in the context of the Iranian general's historic role in killing hundreds of U.S. soldiers during the Iraq War.

"But as I say, Democrats were unconvincing".: . . .

. . . "Take just two examples: Russia's 2018 nerve agent assassination attempt on British soil, and Iran's unprovoked 2011 effort to blow up the Saudi ambassador as he dined in a Washington restaurant. Did Vladimir Putin and Qassem Soleimani authorize those actions because the United States had killed someone just before? No, they did so because they believed they could get away with it.
"That speaks to the key point: Effective counterterrorism and the broader stability of international order do not rest on the back of nice rules and polite discussions at the United Nations. They rest on the balancing beam of deterrence and destruction — on nations knowing that they will be held to account for what they do to America, our allies, or to innocent peoples. Absent our ability to position a credible threat at the heart of their calculation, our enemies will try to get away with as much mayhem as possible.
"Dear Democratic 2020 candidates, please stop pretending you have all the answers and that Trump is simply stupid."

If only Soleimani had waited till Democrats ran the government again, he'd still be doing what he does. TD

Elizabeth Warren Vows to Boycott Pro-Israel Conference Obama Attended  . . . "But last year, almost every single Democratic Party candidate for president, including Warren, skipped the AIPAC conference, except for New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) met with AIPAC activists in her Senate office but declined to attend the policy conference itself." . . .

Buttigieg Doubles Down: No Jail Time for Heroin, Meth Possession  Video



. . . "The Buttigieg plan would potentially free 74,000 drug offenders from federal prison, nearly 100 percent of whom are drug traffickers with links to international criminal cartels. Those accused of drug trafficking often plead down to drug possession to secure lesser sentences." . . .

The Once and Future Scandal

When Adam Schiff’s pernicious role in jump-starting the impeachment is finally fully known, he will likely be revealed as the prime schemer, along with minor Obama officials buried within the Trump National Security Council, dreaming up the entire Ukraine caper of the “whistleblower.”
Cartoons by Tony Branco
Victor Davis Hanson  "Now that the four-and-a-half-month-long Ukraine impeachment bookend to the 22-month Mueller charade is over, it clearly accomplished nothing other than substantially raising the polls of both Donald Trump and the Republican Party. The public was reminded that Representative Gerald Nadler (D-N.Y.) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) are every bit as childish, peevish, and absurd as Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.).
"So, we are now back to the existential issue of the entire Trump phenomenon: to what degree did the Hillary Clinton campaign collude with high-ranking Obama officials, and the top echelons of the FBI, CIA, and the national intelligence apparatus, to surveil, defame, and hope to derail Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign by unlawful means?
Who in the federal government then continued Clinton’s efforts after the 2016 election to disrupt and indeed attempt to destroy the Trump transition and presidency?
"Eventually, someone will sort out whether that post-election effort on the part of federal officials to abort the Trump presidency, abetted by the media and #TheResistance, was a simple follow-up to the Clinton-DNC-Perkins Coe-Fusion GPS collusion against candidate Trump—or a sick preemptive attempt of the administrative state to smear Trump as a “Russian asset” because of their worries about the exposure of their own prior criminality and Trump’s iconoclastic agenda.
"But for now, the following statements are irrefutable."
"Donald Trump, in concrete ways, has been far harder on Russia than was the “reset” Obama presidency, and far more helpful to Ukraine than Team Obama ever was. Trump armed the Ukrainians. He upped sanctions against Russia. He ordered lethal retaliation against Russian mercenaries in Syria. He vastly increased U.S. oil and gas production to Russia’s detriment. He jawboned Germany about its fuel dependence on Moscow. He coerced NATO to spend more on defense. He got out of an asymmetrical missile treaty with Russia. He is rebuilding the U.S. military." . . .
