Harris campaign dishes out six-figure donations to groups who support defunding police, reparations

 Andrew Mark Miller , Cameron Cawthorne Fox News   Then Senator Kamala Harris speaks in support of 'defund the police' during 2020 radio interview

"The Harris campaign cut multiple six-figure checks last month for left-leaning groups that have been vocal about defunding the police, reparations, and are tied to radical activists who have supported notorious antisemite Louis Farrakhan.

"The Harris campaign gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to a handful of Black advocacy groups who are mobilizing Black voters ahead of November's election next week, according to FEC filings released last week.

"Black Voters Matters Fund, which received $150,000 from the Harris campaign on Sept. 19, has repeatedly called for defunding the police and has been vocal about pushing for reparations. 

"The answer to police violence against communities of color is not more money for police," the group wrote in February 2023. "It's time to defund the police and redirect those resources into building strong, healthy communities."

"In 2020, the group also tweeted, "We are proud to be partner in the #DemocracyFrontlinesFund, created to leverage millions of new dollars to fund Black-led organizers fighting for free and fair elections, and working to defund prisons and police."

" 'There are more than 3,000 sheriffs in the US, nearly all are elected, the group said in another post. "We are working to defund sheriffs and build voter power. Reimagining the system also comes with taking action!"

"The group's co-founder Latosha Brown, who has been a frequent visitor to the Biden-Harris White House, has repeatedly posted about the group's reparations push and said in a 2021 X post that she has been working on the issue for 27 years." . . .


If Trump Is Such a Nazi, Why Do 80 Percent of Orthodox Jews Support Him?

Dov Fischer; American Spectator   "It denigrates what Jews faced when Democrats leverage our Shoah tragedy for their hoped-for gain"

I am an Orthodox Jew. I am voting for Trump, as are 95 percent of the people I know in my community. I assure you that we are not voting for death camps, gas chambers, and crematoria. We simply are voting to make America great again and to fix what Harris broke during the past four years." 


"No one in the world knows more about identifying a Hitler — or any other Nazi — than do Orthodox Jews.

"Hitler ultimately went after all Jews and also homosexuals and Romani people (“Gypsies”). But he and his Nazi crew particularly went after Orthodox Jews. Before they proceeded with the death camps, they loved spotting Orthodox Jews walking in the street and bloodying them, pummeling them to the ground and kicking them senseless. They made a sport of photographing themselves forcibly cutting Orthodox Jews’ beards and extended sideburns (payot). They attacked Jewish religious symbols particularly dear to and associated with Orthodox Jews. In their Nazi propaganda organ, Der StΓΌrmer, political race cartoons depicted Jews regularly in the form of Haredi Orthodox Jews.

"If Puerto Ricans were angered by that stupid “joke” spoken by an idiot “comedian” at the recent Trump Madison Square Garden event, how do you imagine Orthodox Jews feel when cynically despicable Democrats like Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, and Tim Walz throw around terms like “Hitler” and “Nazi,” essentially leveraging those absolutely most evil of images, hoping for cynical political gain? (READ MORE: A Jackass of a ‘Comedian’ in Madison Square Garden)  "We are ever so deeply outraged.

"It denigrates what Jews (and homosexuals and Romani people) faced during the 1940s when the most evil of Democrats without souls leverage our Shoah tragedy for their hoped-for gain. It is hard to find a parallel for such cynical political exploitation of a people’s grief and tragedy.

"In southern California, there is a congressional district in Glendale, California, with a very large Armenian-American population. Can you imagine if local elections there all centered around each side calling the other side by the names of the most evil Turkish perpetrators of the Medz Yeghern, the Armenian genocide? Just trying to grab a few votes here and there in Glendale by regularly telling voters, “This candidate will cause a new Medz Yeghern.” Or, “He will be a return to Enver Pasha and April 24, 1915!” Or, “No, it is my opponent who is the true Talaat Pasha!” Imagine that. Ask Armenian-Americans how that would play in Glendale.

"For that matter, how about if American candidates for office regularly would campaign on such similar themes, repeating over and over and over:

" 'If you vote for Rashida Tlaib, you are voting for a Hamas terrorist who will turn America into a country where babies are burned, women are raped without limit, even dead women are similarly defiled, and random civilians are beheaded. So a vote for Tlaib is a vote for rape, beheading, and burning people. Don’t let her bring Hamas into our District.' ” . . .

New York Gov’s commission cowers while Jewish workers in New York are forced to pay dues to a union that hates them.

"New York law says I must accept the union’s representation anyway — even if its leaders overlook or aid those seeking to drive me from campus."

"When New York Gov. Kathy Hochul commissioned a report on the City University of New York’s rampant antisemitism, I was hopeful that, after my years of warnings about Jew-hatred on campus, its perpetrators were about to be held accountable.

"Imagine my disappointment when the report, released in late September, never mentioned one of the biggest proponents of anti-Jewish sentiment at CUNY: the faculty union that claims to represent me.

"As an openly Zionist Jew, I’ve attracted my share of hostility from radical faculty members who are leveraging the union’s power over professors like me to advance their warped political agenda.

"And the problem starts at the very top." . . .

North Texas mayor born in Puerto Rico reiterates support for Trump after divisive joke at New York rally. But first, Biden calls Trump supporters "garbage"!

First this:  Biden's 'Garbage' Reference to Trump Supporters Has White House Scrambling  "President Joe Biden appeared to call Trump supporters "garbage" in a video that quickly went viral, stirring a furious backlash among conservatives and forcing the White House to issue a clarifying statement.

"The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters ... his his his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable and it's un-American," Biden said in the video, denouncing a comedian's joke at a rally for former President Donald Trump that referred to Puerto Rico as a "floating island of garbage." . . .

 WFAA-TV, DFW  

"[City of] Keller has emerged as a GOP stronghold and the school board there voted to require teachers to use pronouns consistent with the biological sex listed on a student's birth certificate."


"North Texas mayor who was born in Puerto Rico says a comedian’s joke about the U.S. territory at a rally for former President Donald Trump this weekend hasn’t eroded his support for Trump.

"Texas-based comedian and podcaster Tony Hinchcliffe, speaking at a rally for Trump at Madison Square Garden in New York this weekend, referred to Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage.”

"Hinchcliffe’s other jokes Sunday ranged from the birth rates of Latinos to the debunked "eating dogs and cats" controversy in Ohio and to a swipe at the island nation of Puerto Rico.

"The comments were quickly condemned, including by some Hispanic Republicans, Vice President and Democratic nominee for president Kamala Harris, a Dallas comedian who says he was the target of similar rhetoric during an encounter with Hinchcliffe in 2021, and the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny and Ricky Martin.

" 'It is absolutely something that is intended to and is fanning the fuel of trying to divide our country," Harris said.

"But Keller Mayor Armin Mizani, an attorney who was elected mayor of the Tarrant County city in 2020 and says he was born and raised in Puerto Rico, took to social media Monday to explain his continued support for Trump.

“For Latinos, faith, family, and economic opportunity motivates us – not some bad joke by a comedian,” Mizani wrote. “Under the Biden and Harris administration, Americans have seen record inflation, an open southern border, increased crime, the weakening of the family structure, and the taking away of God from our daily lives. In contrast, under President Trump, Americans saw secured borders, economic prosperity, a respect for people of faith, and a respect for American values.' ” . . .

Remember that Democrats are not merely "Roast Comedians" having a misguided laugh; they affect the nation of Israel, under attack by those who want all Jews murdered; only because they are Jews. TD

Democratic Party Unites Under Banner of Silence on Gaza Genocide 

 Progressives and moderates came together to support Kamala Harris by largely ignoring the most pressing moral issue of our time.

Democratic Socialists reject censure of AOC – The Forward   . . ."Rep. Jamaal Bowman, another New York Democrat and outspoken critic of Israel, let his membership in the DSA lapse last year over a dispute over funding for Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system.

"But while the chapter chose not to tighten its anti-Zionist requirement for endorsement seekers this weekend, it passed a resolution strengthening its own commitment to Palestinians and rejection of Israel.

"The measure reaffirms the chapter’s commitment to the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, calls for “political, economic, and social equality between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea,” and proposes treating candidates’ financial backing from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee like funding from the National Rifle Association, of which mainstream Democrats widely disapprove.

"The unsuccessful effort to fortify the chapter’s anti-Zionist demands of its endorsees ahead of the November election and next year’s citywide Democratic primaries infuriated some DSA members.

Who was Amon GΓΆth? The antagonist of Schindler's List

The Holocaust  "Amon GΓΆth, portrayed as the antagonist in the film Schindler's List, was a notorious Austrian SS officer during World War II. He served as the commandant of the Plaszow concentration camp in Nazi-occupied Poland. GΓΆth's role in the Holocaust was marked by his brutal and sadistic treatment of prisoners, earning him a fearsome reputation among those he oppressed. His character in the film embodies the cruelty and inhumanity of the Nazi regime.

"Born in Vienna in 1908, GΓΆth joined the Nazi Party and the SS in the 1930s, quickly rising through the ranks due to his commitment to the party's ideals. As commandant of Plaszow, he oversaw the forced labor of thousands of Jews and other prisoners, subjecting them to inhumane conditions and arbitrary executions. GΓΆth was known for his ruthless efficiency and personal involvement in the atrocities committed at the camp, often personally shooting prisoners from his balcony for sport. "GΓΆth's actions during the Holocaust were eventually brought to justice after the war. He was arrested by the Allies in 1945, tried for his crimes, and executed by hanging in 1946. His portrayal in Schindler's List serves as a powerful reminder of the horrors of the Holocaust and the depths of human cruelty, contrasting sharply with the heroism of Oskar Schindler, who saved the lives of over a thousand Jews."

UPDATED: About That Puerto Rico Slur….

Alicia Colon: About That Puerto Rico Slur….  . . ."Naturally, Puerto Rican Democrats like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are chomping at the bit to capitalize this racist gaffe for their own flagging campaigns and I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that they knew beforehand this would occur.

"Trump and other Republicans have rightly condemned the comments made by this ersatz comedian but they need to emphasize the distinction between legal and illegal immigration and offer plans to improve the government's legal immigration process, which takes forever.

It is no secret that minorities like Blacks and Hispanics are waking up to the lies and fake policies of the Democrat party which historically has blatant ties to racism which go ignored by the lamestream media." . . .

 Harris Releases Television Ad Highlighting Racist Comments About Puerto Rico Said During Trump Rally at Madison Square Garden


 . . ."Mr. Hinchcliffe, a Texas comedian who is close with Joe Rogan, described Puerto Rico as “a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean” during his opening set at the Garden, just hours before the former president took the stage. Other cracks included a remark about Black people “carving watermelons” for Halloween and the sexual proclivities of Latinos. 

"The ad, which the Harris campaign released on Monday afternoon, opens with a video of Mr. Hinchcliffe’s comments as he is standing behind a Trump–Vance 2024 placard. Ms. Harris then speaks to the camera as photos of a devastated Puerto Rico post-Hurricane Maria in 2017 roll across the screen." . . . 

 'Garbage': Why they hate Trump supporters  . . ."Meanwhile, it appears the Harris campaign may have roped in Joe Biden to defend them.

"But that may not be true.

"Axios recently reported that Harris is distancing herself from Biden because of his unpopularity and that it reminds people of the past. An unnamed insider called it a 'slow-moving break-up' between Harris and Biden.
Perhaps Biden voluntarily decided to help out.
Biden raged against Hinchcliffe’s joke about Puerto Rico being a “floating island of garbage” by claiming “the only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters....”

. . ."According to the RealClearPolitics national polling average, Trump is ahead of   Harris by 0.1 percentage points, which means the race is within the margin of error. So when I witness a colossal blunder within days of Nov. 5, I shake my head.
"Last week, Harris was losing moral ground when she accused Trump of being a “fascist,” but this week, even Trump supporters have to consider this unforced error and wonder: Where’s the discipline? Where’s the decency?"   Debra J. Saunders 

UPDATE: Biden and WH Desperately Try - and Fail - to Clarify His CommentsCalling Trump Supporters Garbage  "Joe Biden might just have formally ended Kamala Harris' campaign on Tuesday night. The Democrats were trying to go all in attacking the Trump rally at Madison Square Garden, demonizing it as a "Nazi rally" and criticizing what a comedian said there about Puerto Rico. But then Biden blew all that away in his criticism by calling Trump supporters "garbage," as we reported earlier. Politico then tried to spin what he actually said but was caught because video was released showing what he actually said.  '

 

The Battle of Unrwa: America Could Be Forced To Choose Between Defending Israel or Backing the United Nations.

NY Sun  Tensions over the UN’s agency for dealing with the Palestinian Arabs have become increasingly hostile.   

"Anti-Unrwa sentiments have gained steam in Israel as agency employees in Gaza actively participated in the October 7, 2003 atrocities. Unrwa installations serve a double duty as terrorist headquarters, and abet the digging of war tunnels"


"Who will the next president and Congress side with in a brewing, increasingly hostile battle between the United Nations and Israel?

"On Monday the Knesset enacted by a sweeping majority a law that in 90 days will bar the United Nations Relief and Works Agency from operating in Israel, Gaza, and West Bank. The act is raising a global backlash.

"Leading European countries are condemning the law. The Palestinian Arab observer at the UN, Riyad Mansour, is protesting that Israel is “sitting among us.” The Biden administration is urging the Jewish state to reconsider.

"In March Congress suspended all Unrwa payments for a year after Israel exposed Hamas’ control of the agency in Gaza. On Tuesday the American ambassador at the UN, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, said however that America is “deeply concerned” over the Knesset legislation. 

" 'Instead of speaking at one another, Israel and the UN must speak to one another, to address the fears that led to the Knesset legislation and to ensure that Unrwa can fulfill its critical mandate,” Ms. Thomas-Greenfield told the UN Security Council Tuesday.   

"Unrwa was founded in 1949 to aid Arab refugees from Israel’s war of independence. Israelis have long argued that instead, it has enlisted in a Palestinian battle to eventually end Israel’s character as a Jewish state. 

"In 1949 the family of a Christian Arab diplomat who currently serves as Israel’s ambassador to Azerbaijan, George Deek, was listed by Unrwa as refugees. Now he laments the agency’s efforts to perpetuate Palestinian status as stateless refugees in Arab countries. " . . .
