Vice chair of Minnesota Democrat Party who advocated for dismantling police gets violently beaten and carjacked

 The Post Millennial | thepostmillennial.com

In June of 2020, Sathanandan wrote in a post on Facebook: "We are going to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department. Say it with me. DISMANTLE The Minneapolis Police Department."

"A far-left Minneapolis activist was the victim of a brutal armed car-jacking that occurred in the driveway of her home on Tuesday evening.

"Shivanthi Sathanandan, a radical leftist and second vice chairwoman of the Democratic Farmer Labor party in Minneapolis, who was left bruised and bloodied during the incident, is calling for "accountability" despite her past history of being a notable "defund the police" agitator.

"Sathanandan said in a Facebook post that she suffered a broken leg, deep lacerations to her head, and cuts and bruises all over her body when four armed juveniles allegedly beat her to the ground in front of her children and then stole her vehicle in broad daylight, according to KSTP.

"Look at my face. REMEMBER ME when you are thinking about supporting letting juveniles and young people out of custody to roam our streets instead of HOLDING THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS. You could have been reading the obituary for me and my children today," Sathanandan wrote.

‘The Squad’ Introduces Bill To Defund Police And Provide Reparations | News | BET 

. . .Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) and Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) are the two main sponsors of the BREATHE Act, which they announced during a Zoom call. The bill has not yet been officially introduced.

“ 'We can start to envision through this bill a new version for public safety — a new vision for public safety, one that protects and affirms Black lives,” Tlaib said on the call. Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) are also members of The Squad, however they weren’t announced as backers of the bill.

"It will be tough for the BREATHE Act to even pass the Democratic-held House as many leaders on the left do not support defunding police. A recently passed police reform bill from June came under fire from House Republicans for not curbing the power of police unions that shield officers from being fired." . . .

View in browser Kamala can win; The deep state loves her

Don Surber

Biden ran three times for president and didn’t make it past the Iowa caucuses. The only reason that he made it that third time was Obama paid off the frontrunners, who quit the race. The skids were greased for Biden just as they were Vaselined in 2016 for Hillary.

 "Democrats and RINOs fear Kamala is a lost cause for the presidency. I disagree. She certainly can win and the same way that the dumb, old, plagiarizing, crooked, perverted Biden won: fixing the election.

"But Nikki Haley attacked her, saying, “I think that we can all be very clear and say with a matter of fact that if you vote for Joe Biden you really are counting on a President Harris, because the idea that he would make it until 86 years old is not something that I think is likely.”

"In that interview, she said, “But really, are we willing to say we’re OK with a President Kamala Harris? Is that what we’re looking at? Because that’s the reason we’ve got a country to save.”

DeSantis made the same case, saying, “We’re running to win and to deliver, and that’s really the only reason to run, and I feel compelled to do it, because I think that if we, if we muff this one and Biden gets in again — heck you may end up with Kamala as president.”

"The press once hailed her as historic and accomplished.

"Now it says Kamala is a dud." . . .

Kevin McCarthy May Be in Danger of Losing House Speaker Position: Report

 Kevin McCarthy May Be in Danger of Losing House Speaker Position: Report (resistthemainstream.com)

"Trending Politics reports House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s position as speaker of the House may be in jeopardy.

"Sources close to the situation report that McCarthy is viewed by GOP Party leaders as floundering — owing to his slim majority vote to assume the speaker role and his bowing to President Joe Biden on several financial issues.

"Reportedly, concessions were made with the White House to avert a government shutdown — due to begin on October 1 if government leaders do not strike a budget agreement.

"Weakened by weeks of whipping up support just to win his first speakership at the start of the year, McCarthy has only floundered in the eyes of conservatives who feel he caved to Biden during the last government shutdown funding bill. With another funding measure due by the end of September, conservatives have begun an all-out push to win concessions in exchange for their support including the launch of impeachment proceedings against Biden.

"Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) expressed frustration with McCarthy, telling Axios: “I think it’s [motion to vacate] in the back of everybody’s mind … If somebody brings that it wouldn’t take much, you know, it just takes a couple of votes.' ” . . .

If you don't want to wear a mask, don't wear it. But if President Biden tries to mandate mask-wearings, I think he needs to call a press conference, throw away the teleprompter, come armed with the science, and explain to the American people. 

"But I don't think they'll believe it. Because the polls tell me most Americans right now don't trust President Biden to make Hamburger Helper. And I wish I didn't have to say that but he's brought this on himself." . . .

 Congressman Vows to Sue If Biden Slaps On New Mask Mandates (townhall.com)

Rep. Massie Says He'll Refile Lawsuit if Biden CDC Tries to Bring Back Travel Mask Mandate – RedState   . . ."In March 2022, Massie and sixteen other Republican Congressmen filed a lawsuit to end the Biden administration's mask mandate. 

"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention does not have the legal authority to force people traveling on commercial airlines to wear masks," Massie said at the time. "Congress never passed a law requiring masks on commercial flights. This lawsuit targets the faceless bureaucrats who are behind the CDC's unscientific regulation so that this illegal mask mandate can be brought to a permanent end."

On April 19, 2022, the mandate was struck down by U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, but later vacated after President Biden declared the pandemic was over. 

"Now, Rep. Massie says he will refile the Republicans' suit "immediately," if the CDC moves to reimpose masking on public transportation and inside federal buildings: . . ."

Utah Special Election Results Put Mitt Romney on Notice for 2024

The Western Journal

"A pro-Trump candidate won a three-way Republican primary in a special election Tuesday to fill a soon-to-be vacant congressional seat in Utah.

"Celeste Maloy, a proponent of former President Donald Trump, defeated former state Rep. Becky Edwards, winning 38 percent of the vote in the race for Utah’s 2nd Congressional District.

" But perhaps the nail in Edwards’ election coffin was that she voted for Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential race, a move she said she regretted." . . .

"The results of the special election should serve as a wakeup call for Sen. Mitt Romney, whose anti-Trump rhetoric has put him at odds with many Utah Republicans.

"The senator, who often angers conservatives by working with Democrats, voted to convict Trump in both of his impeachment trials.

"Romney, a supporter of the race-baiting, anti-police Black Lives Matter movement, is up for election in 2024.

Has the regime finally given the green light to get rid of Biden?

Has the regime finally given the green light to get rid of Biden? - Revolver News   " The Biden administration is clearly on some very shaky ground right now. The popular theory is that Dems are using Republicans as a tool to take down Biden. They realize that winning in 2024 with Biden at the top of the ticket, even with another wave of sketchy mail-in ballots, is a long shot. The latest scandal is a big one. According to National Archives, Biden sent over 5,400 emails using secret accounts during his vice-presidential tenure, apparently to facilitate he and Hunter’s foreign money hustle. Now, a new very intriguing rumor is making the rounds in the Swamp that could be the ultimate downfall for the Biden Boys. According to Newsmax, there’s evidence that confirms Biden’s guilt beyond any reasonable doubt. Greg Kelly says there’s a video that will end Biden’s 2024 campaign. So, as these scandals continue to pile up the question on everyone’s mind is: have Dems finally given Republicans the green light to oust Biden?

"Here’s what Collin Rugg, the co-founder of Trending Politics had to say about this recent development:

BREAKING: Newsmax host Greg Kelly claims an audio tape containing “incontrovertible evidence of Joe Biden’s corruption” exists and will be released to the public in the coming weeks.

Big if true.

Kelly claimed the audio tape is so explosive that it will force President Biden to drop out of the 2024 race.

“I am told by people in the know… that there is incontrovertible evidence of Joe Biden’s corruption that is about to be made public,” Kelly stated.

“He will not be able to remain a candidate for the presidency for reelection. It will be over and done with.”

“They’re worried about it right now at the White House.”

"Newsom on deck?"

Biden Claims He Doesn’t Have Time to Visit E. Palestine after Being on Vacation for 40% of Term – enVolve (en-volve.com)  . . .Biden claimed on March 2 that he would visit the site “at some point.”  It’s been 184 days since then. Guess that “point” never came up because he still hasn’t shown up. But he sure has had time for vacations! . . .

The New York Post reported on Saturday, “As of last Sunday, Biden has spent all or part of 382 of his presidency’s 957 days – or 40% — on personal overnight trips away from the White House, putting him on pace to become America’s most idle commander-in-chief, according to data calculated by the Republican National Committee and confirmed by The Post using White House reports of Biden’s movements.”

The report found Biden’s record vacation time beats out George H.W. Bush – who spent 36% of his presidency on personal trips away from Washington. Meanwhile, Donald Trump was at 26%, Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama at 11%, and Jimmy Carter at 5% away from the White House. 

Florida Surgeon General Calls on American Public to ‘Refuse to Participate’ in Mask Mandates

  enVolve (en-volve.com)

"Florida’s surgeon general Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo is calling on mass civil disobedience if public health “experts” once again try to impose mask mandates, despite those non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) having failed spectacularly to stop the spread of Covid-19 in the United States and throughout the world.

Specifically, Florida’s chief health officer has urged the public to oppose the “terrible policies” surrounding mask mandates and advised Americans to not abide by renewed masking requirements.

“What do you call re-imposing mask policies that have been proven ineffective or restarting lockdowns that are known to cause harm?” Ladapo questioned on Twitter/X. “You don’t call it sanity. These terrible policies only work with your cooperation. How about refusing to participate…”

"Dr. Leanna Wen, a medical contributor for CNN, also shared a moment of honesty on the network."

What Democrats Would Say If They Told the Truth -

 The American Spectator | USA News and Politics

Save Amanda Gorman’s poetry, AOC’s speeches, the demagoguery of equality, entitlement, and populism.

"We believe that the individual is an aberration of nature, selfish, destructive, morally pernicious, and intellectually idiotic. In fact, we believe that voters are fools. That is why we need a great State, so great that it can get into the minds of the people to lead them on the straight and narrow, away from their depravity, individualism, and addiction to money. We are only ones who can afford depravity, individualism, and addiction to money. 

"Everything must be redistributed, starting with stupidity. There are very smart, hard-working people and very dumb, lazy people. Our main threat is the former. We need social justice, because those smart and hard-working people could effectively rebel against the State; in turn, theft, that is, redistribution, will generate hatred between those who pay more taxes and those who benefit from it. Our strategy is to turn both into confused idiots, and, if at all possible, suffering from depression. The only way to prevent intelligent, hard-working individuals from getting together and posing a threat is to divide them.

"We strive for division on all levels and the scalpel we use to guarantee that estrangement is rancor. We need women to hate men, blacks to hate whites, vegans to hate meat-eaters, the poor to hate the rich, the unemployed to hate the employed, singles to hate those with large families, and so on. Our success consists in making the members of each of these categories believe that their counterpart has been taking advantage of them for centuries, mistreating them. Once their frustration is unstoppable, and their personal destruction is complete, to the point they have lost their identity, then the grand Democratic Government will appear ready to save them, to turn them into a victim worthy of protection. 

"All of this costs money. I have a plan. Let’s raise taxes on workers. Let’s invest the proceeds in creating new groups lobotomized by the government, dependent, public aid, and social engineering policy junkies." . . .

The shot seen round the world

"If a picture is worth 1,000 words, how much does that infamous mugshot of Donald Trump rate?"

 Greg Maresca - American Thinker   . . .However, this is not a celebratory photo, no matter what political affiliation you identify with.  Since the advent of the FBI's Most Wanted List, what criminal ever faced so many indictments in different jurisdictions nationwide simultaneously?

Other than those whose eyes fall here, how many folks do you know that truly recognize what this situation represents?  Conservatives understand that their Judeo-Christian culture is under attack and that they are the primary target, with the former president providing cover.

If a parent speaks out at a school board meeting, he is a domestic terrorist.  If a pro-lifer prays while hindering access to an abortion facility, expect an early-morning raid from the FBI.  Declare that only women can get pregnant, and be prepared for a garden variety of backlash.

Meanwhile, the Bidens, Clintons, Barack Obama, and every swamp-dweller gets off scot-free.

Keep electing Democrats, and expect more of the same.  The choice is elementary: either you are for this White House administration that is Obama's de facto third term, or you are not.

The cases against Trump are all scheduled to be heard during the middle of primary season.  If anything, it will showcase the Democrats' duplicity and most of all their hypocrisy.  When will the reality that the nation is drifting toward tyranny cast out the mote out of the leftist's eye?

The left got its prized Trump mug shot.

The question remains: will it backfire?

Age is only a number until you are totally incompetent

 I would add something else to Mr. Stephens' point. President Trump's presidency looks more and more successful every day by comparison. Who wouldn't love to have those gasoline prices back?  What mom wouldn't love to go grocery store shopping and pay Trump prices when putting items in the cart? People were better off under Trump's policies and I have not mentioned China running around the world or Iran making noises or Mexico turning more violent by the week.

Silvio Canto, Jr.- American Thinker   . . ." Over at the New York Times, Bret Stephens tried to explain why Americans are down on Biden.  This is what he wrote:

NYT columnist Bret Stephens first noted the increased price of eggs and white bread. He added that the price of gasoline was "up 63 percent since January 2021, the month Biden became president."

"The news isn’t all that good. Americans are unsettled by things that are not always visible in headlines or statistics but are easy enough to see," Stephens wrote. 

He also added that the White House was obviously not touting those numbers. 

"The inflation ordinary people experience in everyday life is not the one the government prefers to highlight," he wrote. 

Stephens also pointed to "the collapse of public order," the border crisis, concerns about his age and "a humiliating Afghanistan withdrawal." 

"It's the economy, stupid, plus Afghanistan and the border too. So much seems to be out of tune, as my high school music teacher used to say. Or to use a baseball analogy, your fastball ain't fast anymore." . . .

Karine Jean-Pierre Gives Laughable Excuse for Biden Walking out of Medal of Honor Ceremony

 

. . ."So let me get this straight. The White House was so worried about Biden possibly passing COVID-19 to those in the room that he couldn't stand there an extra few minutes to hear the closing prayer, but it was fine for him to be there in the first place? And if he didn't want to expose the audience, wouldn't it make more sense for him to let the audience members leave first so he doesn't prance right through the middle of them? I mean, come on. That doesn't begin to make sense. " . . .

"Think about it. If Biden was recently exposed to COVID-19 via his wife, and the administration is of the belief that he could pass the virus to others, then there's no justification to have him in the room at all. Personally, I doubt there was any danger to anyone, and certainly, the discussion of masks between Jean-Pierre and the reporter is hilarious to me, given what we know about their lack of efficacy, but the White House certainly thinks masks work. 

"Given that, wasn't it inappropriate and dangerous for Biden to remove his mask within inches of another elderly gentleman? Isn't that a breach of protocol, especially given Jean-Pierre goes on to claim that the president will be wearing a mask when meeting with world leaders soon? 

"To be frank, I'm not buying any of this. I think Biden simply got confused and left the ceremony earlier because that's exactly the kind of thing he would do. These attempts to backfill an explanation just come across as dumb and unbelievable. ". . .

. . ."Hey, if Joe Biden doesn't want to wear a mask, I'm down with that.  As my colleague Bob Hoge previously explained:

Also, a major February study from the Cochrane Library—which is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH)—showed that wearing a mask was effectively useless in stopping the virus, so why would anyone want to? Not to mention that then-White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha said in December 2022, "There is no study in the world that shows that masks work that well."

"In my personal opinion, masks should be an optional thing, with businesses and medical offices and the like being allowed to set their own rules rather than mandates being put in place by the states/feds to force the issue. 

"The problem is that the federal government's preferred "experts" on the matter, like Dr. Anthony Fauci, keep pushing for their use, and when Fauci says "jump," BidenCo. usually says "How high?' "

Joe Biden Isn't Just Coming Across as Inept, Republicans Are Succeeding in Making Him Toxic – RedState   . . ."Americans don't have far to look for reasons against voting for Joe Biden in 2024. It seems that a significant majority across the policy board think he's done a pretty terrible job. We're now two years out from his disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal, and ever since that moment, Americans by and large haven't really trusted that the best people are in charge of our government."

Larry Sinclair Says He Hooked Up With Barack Obama in Limo; Obama Showed Up For More the Next Day

View for yourself and decide

Tucker Carlson Interviews Obama Accuser Larry Sinclair › American Greatness  “In 2008, it became really clear that Barack Obama had been having sex with men and smoking crack,” he told podcast host Adam Carolla last week. “I talked to Larry Sinclair about it. Definitely it happened.” Carlson acknowledged that Sinclair has a sketchy background and a record of deception, but insisted that his story about Obama is the truth.

“ 'Larry Sinclair has been in and out of prison 40 years ago, he’s got a criminal record by definition and he’s poor, he’s got a disordered life, he’s missing a tooth,” Carlson said. “I think he has a record of deception but this story if you listen to it in detail, is clearly true.”

"He added: “It’s not going to change the world that Barack Obama likes dudes, I think this was well-known." . . .”

 As Bonchie cautioned in his piece Tuesday:

It is important to note that Sinclair's claims are not new. He made the same accusations when then-Senator Obama was running for president in 2008, though the story gained little traction and was roundly dismissed. For further context, Sinclair is a convicted felon and has been in prison for forgery and fraud, among other things. He also tried and failed to run for mayor of a small town in Florida in 2018. Individual viewers will have to decide how Sinclair's past speaks to his credibility or lack thereof.

 . . ."Larry Sinclair Reveals What Happened With Barack Obama in the Back of a Limo

"I had given Barack $250 to pay for [cocaine] ... I start to put a line on a CD tray, and I just happen to notice that he pulls something else out of his pocket, and next thing I know, he's got a little pipe, and he's smoking. So I don't have an issue with it. I mean, some people smoke, some people snort. So, as I'm doing a line, this is the part where you kind of make your move to see where things are going. So I just started rubbing my hand along his thigh to see where it was going, and it went the direction I had intended it to go. So the night became somewhat active, sexually and drug-wise, in the limo."
