Nothing but downsides to the Jersey City kosher market murders

Rashida Tlaib: Blames Jersey City Terror on ‘White Supremacy’ Before Deleting Tweet  . . . "Tlaib deleted the tweet, but not before a number of quick-eyed reporters had caught screenshots of the faux pas.
"The Congresswoman was photographed this past January with Abbas Hamideh, a supporter of the Hezbollah terrorist organization. Just three months ago she also posed for a photo with the Palestine Youth Movement, which advocates violence against Israel and strongly supports the Boycott, Divest and Sanctions (BDS) economic war against the Jewish State." . . .This profane video was made while the victims still lay in their own blood

Another person said to the Jewish support representative, “It was your kind that did it here, right? … Four of ya’ll dead, right? Four of your people that were dead, right? That’s great. If they was dead, they got shot dead. That’s great. Get them damn Jews the f****k out of here. Get these f*****g Jews. Get the Jews out of Jersey City.”

 How many Muslims were among the Black bystanders blaming Jews for the attack on a Kosher deli where three Jews were deliberately shot dead?

Black Nationalist Hate Group Praised by Media Shot Up Kosher Market

. . . "The odd accent to city life in Jersey City came amid a hail of bullets as two members of the racist black nationalist hate group opened fire in the JC Supermarket. Despite initial claims by the media and the authorities that the Jewish market had not been targeted, David Anderson and Francine Graham ignored passerby on Martin Luther King Dr, to get to the store and kill as many Jewish people as they could.

"When the shooting had ended, Moshe Hersh Deutsch, a yeshiva student who was known for helping distribute food packages to the needy, Mrs Leah Mindel Ferencz, a mother of 3 who helped her husband run the grocery store, and Miguel Jason Rodriguez, the father of an 11-year-old daughter and a parishioner at an Assemblies of God church, were all dead."

. . . "The media whitewash of the racist Black Israelites had come during the Covington Catholic case when the Washington Post, among other papers, had falsely blamed the pro-life students for a confrontation that actually began when members of the nationalist hate group had begun calling them, “crackers,” “faggots,” and “pedophiles.” An African-American pro-life student was called the ‘n-word’.

"Rep. Ilhan Omar, who has her own history of racism and anti-Semitism, falsely claimed that the Covington Catholic students were “taunting 5 black men.' ” . . .

Trump Wins His First State — Judge Rules South Carolina Can Cancel Its 2020 Primary

Analyzing America

"On Wednesday, the South Carolina Republican Party’s conclusion to not hold a 2020 Presidential primary has been confirmed and upheld.
"This will make it even more difficult for less prominent candidates who are pushing to win against Trump.
"The resolution was upheld by Circuit Judge Jocelyn Newman, who said the law “does not give Plaintiffs a legal right to a presidential preference primary, and the Court will not substitute its own judgment for that of the General Assembly or the SCGOP.”
"Bob Inglis, former South Carolina congressmen sued state Republicans, claiming this decision to skip the primary, strips him and other likely candidates “of the ability to vote for the candidate of their choice in South Carolina’s famous (and particularly influential) ‘First in the South’ primary.”

SEE IT: Street Artist Sabo Trolls Impeachment Hoaxes: ‘Adam Schiff Is Cancer’

Daily Wire
                                            Original sign:

The Street Artist returns  "Street artist Sabo has returned to troll the Democrats with an anti-smoking-themed poster illustrating the absurdity at the heart of whatever impeachment hoax the party chooses to make the cause celebre of the moment. Take a look:

"Erected at the corner of Santa Monica Blvd and Kelton near the 405 freeway in Los Angeles, California, Sabo and his merry band of trolls appropriated an American Lung Association billboard displaying the number of smoking-related deaths this year. As the photos will show, the original sign read, “Smoking Deaths This Year: 415, 949 and counting”; once Sabo had his way with it, however, the sign then read, “Impeachment Hoaxes This Year: 415, 949 and counting,” which was then followed by the explosive caption, “Adam Schiff is cancer.” . . .

"I sat through those hearings. Brett Kavanaugh lied to the U.S. Senate and most importantly to the American people. He was put on the Court through a sham process and his place on the Court is an insult to the pursuit of truth and justice."

. . . "Kelly Mehlenbacher, a state operations director with the Harris campaign wrote in her November 11th resignation letter that was obtained by the New York Times, “…the treatment of the staff over the last two weeks was the final straw in this very difficult decision.”
. . . "Mehlenbacher said the Harris campaign encouraged people to move to the Washington, D.C./Baltimore area and then laid them off without notice and without thoughtful consideration of their personal consequences or the consequences of their absence on the staff who remained with the campaign."

Kamala Harris‏Verified account 

I sat through those hearings. Brett Kavanaugh lied to the U.S. Senate and most importantly to the American people. He was put on the Court through a sham process and his place on the Court is an insult to the pursuit of truth and justice. He must be impeached.

"Harris isn’t the only Mean Girl in search of the Oval Office.
"Remember Amy Klobuchar’s staffer who claimed that she mistreats her staff? . . .The story goes that the airline which Klobuchar was traveling did not have any utensils on board, so the resourceful senator ate her salad with her own comb. Ick! After she finished eating her salad, she ordered the staffer to clean off the comb.
"Employees spoke on the condition of anonymity about the toxic environment at Klobuchar’s offices, which included demeaning emails, throwing office supplies and requesting staff to perform degrading personal chores for the senator. In fact, she is so mean to the people who work for her that even former senate majority leader Harry Reid (D-NV) had to rebuke Klobuchar for the mistreatment of her staff. You know Klobuchar’s behavior had to be bad when someone as nasty as Reid had to give her a talking to."

She had to get a niceness tutorial from Harry Reid?

The Democrats’ Bad Poker Faces

Power Line  Everyone who plays poker is familiar with the “tell,” that is, a nervous tic or subtle mannerism that betrays when a player has a strong or bluff hand. I think the Democrats’ behavior this week includes several “tells” that their impeachment hand is weak, and might cause them to lose the whole political pot next year.
"The first is the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) that John notes immediately below. It was a big surprise Tuesday when Speaker Pelosi said the House was now ready to take up and presumably approve the new agreement, after months of delay. It may be true that the Trump Administration has made significant concessions for various special interests to gain support, but its passage will still be a large political win for Trump heading into the election campaign.
"The second “tell” of the week are the two articles of impeachment themselves. As Andy McCarthy notes, they are exceedingly weak: an improper use of power in his Ukraine phone call, and obstruction of the congressional investigation. That’s it? That’s all they got? Why only two? Why not throw in the obstruction of justice vibe of the Mueller Report? Why not an emoluments allegation, or something else? Previous presidential impeachment drives (Nixon and Clinton) involved at least four possible articles.
"My hunch is that additional articles of impeachment would allow for more House Democrats from marginal districts to cover themselves by voting against one or two or them, and Pelosi needs to hold her caucus together to get a successful vote. There are several House Democrats who have indicated their lack of enthusiasm for the whole thing, and some calling for a mere resolution of censure instead. (The Constitution does not provide for censure against another branch, however, though it still might be politically effective for Democrats to charge next fall that Trump is “the only president ever censured by Congress.” Also, it should be added that the Judiciary Committee didn’t really devote sufficient time to backing up additional charges: they’re putting all their impeachment eggs into the Ukraine basket.)

Is Trump the Only Adult in the Room?

Victor Davis Hanson

The common denominator of all this petulance from Trump’s enemies is exasperation over the inability to derail him.

"Donald Trump certainly is mercurial at times. He can be uncouth.
"But then again, no president in modern memory has been on the receiving end of such overwhelmingly negative media coverage and a three-year effort to abort his presidency, beginning the day after his election.
"Do we remember the effort to subvert the Electoral College to prevent Trump from assuming office?
"The first impeachment try during his initial week in office?
"Attempts to remove Trump using the ossified Logan Act or the emoluments clause of the Constitution?"
"The idea of declaring Trump unhinged, subject to removal by invoking the 25th Amendment?
"Special counsel Robert Mueller’s 22-month, $35 million investigation, which failed to find Trump guilty of collusion with Russia in the 2016 election and failed to find actionable obstruction of justice pertaining to the non-crime of collusion?"
"The constant endeavors to subpoena Trump’s tax returns and to investigate his family, lawyers and friends?" . . .

Democrats see "only a handful of defections"

Andrew Thomas blogs at Dark Angel Politics

Althouse  "The news isn't "only a handful" — it's that there are defections."
. . . "So... Politico says "no more than a half-dozen" and WaPo has 2 sources who say that and one who says "could be higher.' " . . .

House Democrats brace for some defections among moderates on impeachment of Trump   . . . "The House Judiciary Committee is poised to vote Thursday on one article charging Trump with abuse of power for pressuring Ukraine to help his reelection chances in 2020 and another on obstruction of Congress for blocking testimony from witnesses and ignoring requests for documents in the impeachment inquiry.
The full House would vote next week.
“I’m still thinking it over,” said Rep. Susie Lee, a centrist who hails from a GOP-leaning Nevada district Trump carried in 2016. “This is a very grave decision. . . . I’m hearing all sides of it. . . . It’s mixed, it’s very mixed.' ” . . .

Lloyd Marcus: Our Outrage Over the Dems' Impeachment Farce  . . . "This whole impeachment scam reminds me of the 1938 Disney movie, Snow White. As a child, I could not understand why the wicked queen's hatred for Snow White was so great that she was willing to sacrifice her beauty and even her life to destroy Snow White. We are witnessing the same obsession with Democrats irrationally moving forward with impeaching Trump." . . .

Dem Rep. Says Country Should Impeach Trump Because He Benefited From Slavery

“ 'I’m concerned that if we don’t impeach this president, he will get reelected,” Green said in an interview in May of this year.

Lawrence Richard  "Democratic Congressman Al Green wants to impeach President Trump due to him benefitting from what Green is calling the “original sin” — slavery.
"On Saturday, the Texas Democrat appeared on MSNBC where he said his party ought to charge the president and remove him from office because “slavery was the thing that put all of what President Trump has done lately into motion.”
“ 'I do believe, ma’am, that we have to deal with the original sin,” Green said to host Alex Witt, the Washington Examiner reports. “We have to deal with slavery. Slavery was the thing that put all of what President Trump has done lately into motion. It’s [the] insidious scion of racism. The president has played on racism, and he’s used that as a weapon to galvanize a base of support to mobilize people.”
"Green has a consistent record on wanting to impeach President Trump since he first was sworn into office in 2017, long before the accusation of benefiting from slavery or anything to do with Ukraine. His desire to impeach the president stems from his own admitted belief that if Trump is able to run for re-election, he’ll win.
“ 'I’m concerned that if we don’t impeach this president, he will get reelected,” Green said in an interview in May of this year.

"The Washington Examiner reports it was Green who also initiated the idea of a perpetual impeachment, or voting multiple times to remove Trump until the Senate acts on the issue:" . . .

How ironic that slavery was the Democrat's "original sin" and today it is their hope for reelection. TD

 VIDEO: College Republican President Attacked at Sacramento State

. . . Sacramento State student appears to slap former College Republicans president on video   Video here

"A video has emerged online of a Sacramento State student appearing to slap the former president of the College Republicans repeatedly on Friday — and police said they’re investigating.

"Their scuffle was said to have originated with an online Facebook argument over a mutual friend’s anti-abortion post the previous day, the Sacramento Bee reported." . . .

This all stemmed from a Facebook thread yesterday where Keaton wished death on a child with cancer because their family member was pro-life.

"This deranged leftist and LGBT activist named Keaton Hill assaulted and threatened to kill @FJtheDeuce, a black conservative at Sacramento State. This is reportedly the 2nd time Keaton has violently attacked college Republicans at @sacstate."

Who's Doing the Raping? Don't Ask 'Law & Order: SVU'

"The hallmark of civilized cultures is to arrest and imprison child rapists. But the brain-dead writers of “Law & Order: SVU” invent little stories to demoralize the defenders of civilization, so we can let the incest and child rape flow!"

Ann Coulter  " 'With the impeachment nonsense making TV news unwatchable, I’ve been catching up on “Law & Order: SVU” recently.

"The scripts involve the sort of real-life crimes that are a lot more common since our country has become “diverse,” such as child rape and incest. But the child-rapists are never diverse, as they are in real life. No, the perps are always blond, blue-eyed American men.

"In fact, the modern American white male is the least rapey, most gentle, protective, chivalrous creature God has ever created. Get ready for a gigantic I TOLD YOU SO when American women realize that, from 1620 to the day Ted Kennedy’s 1965 immigration act kicked in, they never had it so good.

"I wouldn’t mention it, except for “Law & Order: SVU.” It would be as if the writers portrayed New York City as a sleepy little burg and Dixville Notch, New Hampshire, as a fast-paced metropolis, jam-packed with skyscrapers.

"In one episode titled “Zero Tolerance,” a white American male sells illegal alien girls to other white American men in a sex trafficking scheme that was somehow enabled by Trump ... SEPARATING CHILDREN FROM THEIR PARENTS AT THE BORDER!!!

"(The theory of causation is a little vague, but it was definitely Trump’s fault.)

"Also, according to “Law & Order: SVU,” the main demographic with a sexual fetish for pre-pubescent Hispanic girls is: handsome, married American white men.

Thus, the john having sex with a 9-year-old illegal alien in this episode was a white businessman, married with two sons, who was in New York specifically to have sex with underage girls.

"You have to admire television writers who have taken a vow to never leave their homes, have any human contact or read.

Reviewing my years of research on child sex crimes, I see that this has happened NEVER. It’s kind of the opposite. I ended up with so many immigrant child rape cases for 

" 'Adios, America!” that most of them had to be left on the cutting room floor -- or the book would have been twice as long.

"Since 2013, an average of 34 illegal aliens have been charged in North Carolina with 151 counts of raping or sexually assaulting a child per month -- and that’s based on police data from less than a third of the counties in a single state." . . .

California (California!) Democratic congresswoman says House could impeach Donald Trump AGAIN if he's re-elected and Republicans lose Senate control

UK Daily Mail  "Democratic Congresswoman Karen Bass said members of her party could take another shot at impeaching Donald Trump if he's re-elected and they win control of the Senate in next year's election.
"The Democratic-controlled House is expected to approve next week two articles of impeachment against the president but Trump is expected to survive his trial in the Republican-controlled Senate.

"Bass was asked if Democrats would take another stab at the president should the Senate come under their power after the 2020 contest, assuming Trump won re-election." . . .

"Levin asked her: 'Suppose he gets reelected and you're right and you win back the Senate in a big way. If you did that, would you be inclined to take a second bite at the apple and reintroduce the exact same impeachment articles and then send it through again a second if you have a Democratic Senate on your side?'

" 'So, you know, yes, but I don't think it would be exactly the same and here's why,' Bass replied. 'Because even though we are impeaching him now, there's still a number of court cases, there's a ton of information that could come forward. For example, we could get his bank records and find out that he's owned 100 percent by the Russians.' " . . .

After all, the odds are in their favor because “he probably has other examples of criminal behavior.”

CNN Ignores Opening Statements in Senate Judiciary Hearing on IG Report

Free Beacon

"CNN broke from other major networks Wednesday and did not broadcast opening statements during the Senate Judiciary Committee's hearing on the recently released DOJ inspector general's report.
"The network only showed a brief segment of Sen. Lindsey Graham's (R., S.C.) statement, during which he discussed Russian interference in the 2016 election, and displayed video of the hearing without audio while reporters and pundits discussed the impeachment inquiry. The network did not show any of Sen. Dianne Feinstein's (D., Calif.) opening statement.
"By contrast, MSNBC broadcasted Graham's opening statement for a little more than 20 minutes before cutting to a panel discussion. Fox News aired Graham's entire statement. MSNBC showed Feinstein's whole opening statement, which was significantly shorter than Graham's.
"Both CNN and MSNBC eventually broadcasted Inspector General Michael Horowitz's opening statement.
"Graham in his comments ripped media coverage of the inspector general's report and criticized the FBI's conduct in obtaining permission to surveil a member of Donald Trump's presidential campaign.
"Graham said the media overlooked the FBI's errors because its misconduct did not fit their narrative, focusing instead on the finding that there was no political bias in the investigation. The report faulted the FBI for committing numerous "significant errors or omissions" in its application to surveil Trump aide Carter Page.
"Both CNN and MSNBC previously opted to give full coverage to House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Adam Schiff's (D., Calif.) opening statements during the impeachment hearings held by his committee." . . .
