No one called 911. “I’m a single mom. I don’t get out much, so I just wanted to go celebrate my friend’s birthday and let loose for a couple hours and, you know, total innocent fun with all of us. I tried to break up a fight, and then I got attacked myself.” “There were a hundred people there that night. I was the only one who jumped in to try and save him because that was the right thing to do.” “Not one person called 911 but they film these heinous crimes and attempted murder, because that is what it is, no matter what they label it. It was attempted murder.”

Holly tells me the Cincinnati Mayor has not contacted her. The Cincinnati Police Chief has not contacted her. The Cincinnati Police officers who responded to her attempted murder did not try to help her or even take down her information.

[Democrat, of course] Congresswoman: 'I Am a Proud Guatemalan' –

 HotAir  

"In the view of the "decolonizers," America and the West are lands to be plundered, not homelands to become a part of."

It's becoming a trend among Democrats. 

"As immigrants from third-world countries have started getting elected in the woke areas, they freely admit that their political priorities are not about improving America, but instead are focused on their fellow countrymen in this and their home countries. 

"Ilhan Omar regularly speaks in Somali to transplanted Somali migrants. Omar Fateh, the Democratic-Farmer-Labor (Minnesota Democrats) candidate for Minneapolis Mayor, declared his allegiance to Somalia and Somalis, and now Representative Delia Ramirez of Illinois declares that she is a Guatemalan before she is American. 

"She was born here, by the way, but obviously is not a fan of the country that placed her in Congress. " . . .

. . . "I'm pretty certain that Ramirez couldn't be denaturalized and deported--that is hyperbole--because she was born in Chicago. Moreover, I wouldn't support deporting a natural-born American citizen for making such an insane remark. 

"But kicking her off the Homeland Security Committee? Of course, that should happen. She has declared that her loyalty is to another country. How on Earth can Congress have a representative charged with defending the "homeland" (I hate that term!) whose allegiance is not to the United States? 

"Only in America, I suppose. What a country!"

Rep. Delia Ramirez declares her loyalty to Guatemala first at a Mexican leftist gathering - American Thinker   . . . "If Congress could kick Rep. George Santos out of office for an inflated resume, then it certainly can expel someone who proclaims her loyalty to Guatemala first.

"She has taken to defending herself by declaring anyone criticizing her loyalty problems as a 'white supremacist authoritarians."

"Not a hint of apology for what she said. No clarification. No declaration of any loyalty to the U.S." 

Dems furious at Texas redistricting need to look in the mirror

 

Texas Dems Flee the State | The American Spectator

Rich Lowry; NY Post  . . . "In the meantime, the partisan effect of the new Texas lines before the 2026 midterms is unmistakable: If Republicans were likely to lose five seats from this redistricting, there’s no doubt that the state’s Republican governor and Republican legislature wouldn’t be undertaking it. 

"Drawing district lines is an inherently political enterprise, and parties tend to give themselves the best of it.

"When Democrats controlled the Texas Legislature, they maintained congressional lines in their favor.

"It wasn’t until 2002, when Republicans won the statehouse for the first time since Reconstruction, that the GOP could redraw the congressional map — and Republicans subsequently won a majority of Texas congressional seats in 2004, also for the first time since Reconstruction. 

"Since Democrats gerrymander too, they have limited options  for retaliating against Texas.

Pritzker says he may redraw his state’s lines, but this would require gerrymandering on top of  this current gerrymander."

Guess Who's Paying for the Runaway Texas Democrats' Attempt to Block GOP Redistricting – Twitchy    "Aside from the "we're saving democracy by trying to stop the democratic process from playing out in the state legislature" lunacy from many Texas Democrats, they're also making it clear they also don't believe all their "existential threat from climate change" warnings: . . ."

Go Time: Texas AG Ken Paxton Prepares to Vacate the Seats of Democrats Who Fled to Stop Redistricting – RedState   . . . "Further, a ballot initiative doing away with the quorum requirement should be proposed to stop this once and for all. Gerrymandering exists for a reason, and we can't have a system where Democrat-led states like Illinois, Maryland, California, and others get to push things to the max while Texas doesn't. The way you stop congressional gerrymandering is by winning state-level elections. Texas Democrats should try it sometime." 

How Gerrymandering Began in the US

History   "In March 1812, the Boston Gazette ran a political cartoon depicting “a new species of monster”: “The Gerry-mander.” The forked-tongue creature was shaped like a contorted Massachusetts voting district that the state’s Jeffersonian Republicans had drawn to benefit their own party. Governor (and future vice president) Elbridge Gerry signed off on his party’s redistricting plan in February, unwittingly cementing his place in the United States lexicon of underhanded political tricks."

"Federalist newspapers in Massachusetts reprinted the cartoon with its portmanteau of “Gerry” and “salamander,” helping the new word to take off. Although the pronunciation has changed over time—Gerry’s name is pronounced like “Gary,” but Americans now pronounce the word bearing his name like “Jerry”-mander—the meaning has mostly remained the same: gerrymandering is when politicians redraw voting districts to benefit their political party." . . .  Full article...

Why a ceasefire before totally destroying Hamas would be a disaster for Israel

 BARE NAKED ISLAM  "Senior Hamas member Ghazi Hamad admitted live on TV exactly what Hamas’ plan is: They will stop at NOTHING to destroy Israel, and they don’t care how many Gazan ‘martyrs’ die to make it happen.

'We love you and miss you': Bibas family remembers Ariel on his sixth birthday

"The family shared a post on Instagram to mark his birthday: “Ariel was a mischievous child full of love with a smile that immediately melted everyone he met,” the post read." Then Hamas....

The two boys were four years old and nine months old, respectively, at the time of their abduction on October 7, 2023.

"The IDF confirmed through intelligence and forensic evidence from the identification process that the two children were brutally murdered in captivity by Hamas in November 2023, just a month after their abduction, and were not killed by an IAF strike, as Hamas originally claimed.

"Kfir Bibas was murdered at 10 months old. Ariel was murdered at four years old.

"Their bodies were returned to Israel along with hostage Oded Lifshitz, after 503 days in Hamas captivity in February. 

"Shiri’s body was returned two days later, after Hamas misidentified her remains, sending another woman’s body in a locked coffin with keys that did not match, according to extensive testing by the L. Greenberg Institute of Forensic Medicine at Abu Kabir." . . .

Democrats and Jews: Perhaps this is all Parody but too terrifying to laugh at"

 Democrats Announce 2028 Campaign Slogan: 'We Hate Capitalism, Hot Chicks, And The Jews' | Babylon Bee

U.S. — As preparations geared up for the 2028 presidential election, the Democratic Party unveiled its new campaign slogan of "We Hate Capitalism, Hot Chicks, and the Jews."

"The party expressed belief that the new slogan would convey a clear message about the party's values while broadening its appeal to new groups of potential voters.

" 'We were looking for a slogan that would communicate our agenda of abolishing capitalism, Jewish people, and objectively attractive women," one Democrat source said. "This new slogan couldn't be more perfect."

"Party leaders reportedly scrapped other suggestions to return their platform and slogan to a more patriotic, America-loving tone in favor of embracing messaging that more accurately captured the hatred of economic success, Jews, and natural beauty.

" 'Beautiful women and Jews, much like capitalism, cannot be the future of this country," said Senator Bernie Sanders, who was given input to keep him from running again. "Personally, I'm for Justin Trudeau, but they tell me he's not qualified or something because he's 'Canadian.' Whatever that means."

"Insiders said that creating a broad platform based on hating money, hot chicks, and Jews would be the key to building a strong coalition of voters for the next election cycle. "It's a perfect mixture of the people who vote for us," said one Democrat. "Once we find the right candidate who embodies all of those things, we'll have the election wrapped up."

"At publishing time, former Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg reportedly had an early advantage to land the party's nomination due to finding attractive women 'icky.' "

Didn't Mayor de Blasio teach New York all it needed to know about this kind of candidate?

Sister Toljah   

"The news angered some residents in NYC, with one declaring, "He’s a liar. Point-blank, period. We don’t need a lying mayor or a mayor that says he’s black so he can get black people to vote for him."

"As RedState reported, Sen. Elizabeth "Pocahontas" Warren (D-MA) stood shoulder to shoulder with Democrat New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani during a campaign stop on Monday in the Big Apple, revealing that Mamdani's socialist message is "the Democratic message."

"During the event, an animated Warren lavished Mamdani with compliments, stating, “When someone stands up and says, ‘I will lead this city by making it more affordable, and here are my plans, real plans ... We’re going to experiment. We’re going to try things on groceries.’ That is the Democratic message.”

"It was something else about their powwow, however, that caught the attention of the editors at the New York Post." . . .

. . . "Warren, as we've noted before, has a history of not being honest about her past, including her false claims of a Native American heritage, her false statement that her children only went to public school, and her highly questionable story about allegedly being let go from a teaching job because she was pregnant.

"As for Mamdani, the New York Times revealed in early July that he had checked certain ethnic boxes on an application for Columbia University back in 2009. 

"The New York Assemblyman, they noted, claimed that he was “Black or African-American” and "Asian" on a 2009 Columbia University student application. The information was important to know, as the Times pointed out, because "Reporting that his race was Black or African American in addition to Asian could have given an advantage to Mr. Mamdani, who was born in Uganda and spent his earliest years there." . . .

Jasmine Crackpot: among Democrats best and brightest?

 Democrat Darling Jasmine Crockett: 'Donald Trump Is a Piece of Sh*t'

Only a racist would call this a Nazi salute!

Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett believes violence doesn't come from the left side of the political aisle and insisted the men who tried to carry out assassination attempts against the President last year were actually "Trump supporters."   

. . . "On the same day that Crockett suggested violence does not come from her side of the political aisle, another man was arrested for threatening to kill Trump, Attorney General Pamela Bondi, and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller.

"With Crockett as their party's face, the Democrats may not be exclusively responsible for violence, but they sure have a stranglehold on dumbing down the political discourse in this country."

Jasmine Crockett Joins Dems Who Fled Texas, Says Republicans Are ‘Weak’ and ‘We About to Beat You Down’   . . ."Narrator: Nobody expects you to be the "nice guys," especially when a recent study has shown the left is embracing an "assassination culture."

"Paging House Republicans - When are we going to have enough of Crockett and her street threats before we censure her for them? Are we waiting for the actual violence again, like in 2020?

"This is the same woman who claims violence doesn't come from the left side of the political aisle.

" 'The violence doesn't come from Democrats, just to be clear," she told comedian Hasan Minhaj. "I mean, obviously, anyone can be a criminal, but, um, it is MAGA. It's specifically MAGA faction."

"Violence doesn't come from Democrats, oh, and also ... "We about to beat you down."

"Aside from Crockett's violent language, several other prominent Democratic figures engaged in similar rhetoric. Rep. Julie Johnson (D-TX) called the matter of fleeing to avoid a vote “an all-out war" while California Governor Gavin Newsom said the resistance party was prepared to "fight fire with fire."

"Considering their party's rhetoric has led to multiple assassination attempts on the President, it should be taken seriously. That said, listening to them shout in defense of their colleagues who are currently hiding and dispersed throughout the country so they can avoid doing their jobs is utterly hilarious.

"This is like running three blocks away from a street fight and then yelling back to your opponent, "I’m gonna kick your a**," all while shaking a fist in the air.

"Crockett, who has mocked Abbott, a man in a wheelchair, as "Governor Hot Wheels," is making these threats with the backdrop that her own party conducted a $20 million study to find out voters view them as "weak." . . .

Texas House Passes Motion to Issue Arrest Warrants for Dems Who Fled State › American Greatness   . . . "During an appearance on CNN, Monday afternoon, Texas Republican state Rep. Brian Harrison accused his Democrat colleagues of hypocrisy for protesting the GOP’s redistricting plan, pointing out that Democrats are notorious for their redistricting shenanigans.

"Holding up the Democrats’ ... gerrymandered map, he exclaimed: “The HYPOCRISY and dishonesty of what he’s saying. I’m going to hold this up. Can you see this? Do you see this? Did CNN have [JB Pritzker] on to explain Illinois 13 – this pinky finger that goes across the ENTIRE STATE – that was 100 percent drawn for partisan political purposes!”

" 'But I haven’t seen anything that CNN or pretty much any of the other major networks bringing him on or the Democrats in his legislature that drew a map with districts that are FAR more gerrymandered than anything that the House that the Texas maps we’re contemplating look like here today.”

" 'So it’s the rank hypocrisy that’s my problem and the dishonesty and the faux outrage,” Harrison continued. “They’re not mad that states are redistricting for partisan purposes. They’re mad that a Republican state is doing it.” . . .

. . . "In 2021, when Texas Democrats pulled this same stunt, they eventually returned of their own volition to provide the quorum, avoiding arrest. Frankly, if I were Abbott, I wouldn't be that kind this time around. The moment they set foot back in the state, he should have them arrested regardless of whether they are pledging to return to the chamber. The time to make an example of them is now, or this will just keep happening every few years when a contentious issue comes up." . . .  

Save the Democrat Gerrymander!

Trump Should Have Fired McEntarfer Long Ago; The Bureau of Labor Statistics was a dumpster fire during her tenure as commissioner.

 The American Spectator | USA News and Politics 

"As to Erika McEntarfer, most voters had never heard of her until this weekend, and very few will lose sleep because she has become suddenly unemployed. Indeed, most of the people who voted for Trump in 2024 will be thinking, “Why didn’t he fire her in January?' ” 

Broc Smith toon added by TD

"The corporate news media greeted the lackluster jobs report that dropped on August 1 with unabated glee, and savored President Trump’s complaints concerning its accuracy. They were less pleased, however, when he fired Commissioner of Labor Statistics Erika McEntarfer. The coverage of her termination was predictable. CNN, for example, went with the following headline: “Trump fires a senior official over jobs numbers.” In reality, McEntarfer’s termination was long overdue. She was a Biden appointee whose tenure at the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has been characterized by disarray.

"Her leadership of the BLS involved implausibly robust job growth estimates during former President Biden’s final year in office and recurring technical issues. The Washington Post reluctantly ran this story: “The Bureau of Labor Statistics said Wednesday that a technical issue caused delays last week in the scheduled release of jobs data … The episode is at least the third in a series of missteps this year.” McEntarfer’s tenure was also plagued with huge downward revisions in reported job gains. As the New York Times reported in August of 2024:

On Wednesday, the Labor Department said monthly payroll figures overstated job growth by roughly 818,000 in the 12 months that ended in March. That suggests employers added about 174,000 jobs per month during that period, down from the previously reported pace of about 242,000 jobs — a downward revision of about 28 percent … The updated numbers are the latest sign of vulnerability in the job market, which until recently had appeared rock solid despite months of high interest rates and economists’ warnings of an impending recession.

"This gigantic downward revision was not merely the second largest on record, it doesn’t include normal monthly revisions. When those adjustments are added, McEntarfer’s BLS leadership appears either incompetent or corrupt. As the Daily Caller reported at the time, “Including monthly revisions, the Biden administration overstated the number of jobs in the U.S. economy by 1.18 million in the year through March, accounting for approximately 36 percent of the 3.24 million jobs initially claimed.” The legacy media have made much of President Trump’s claim that the job numbers are rigged, but McEntarfer’s record hardly rules it out.

"Inevitably, the soporific Sunday morning news programs highlighted Trump’s skepticism about the accuracy of the BLS report. On Meet the Press, moderator Kristen Welker insisted that White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett produce concrete evidence that the numbers were rigged." . . .

Is The BLS Corrupt, Or Just Hopelessly Incompetent? – Issues & Insights   ..."Even for government work, the BLS has been breathtakingly bad at its job, something we’ve been reporting on this space for years.

• Back in 2023, we noted that the BLS had been vastly overcounting jobs created since Joe Biden took office by as much as 77,000 a month.  

• In the first five months of 2024, the BLS had exaggerated monthly job growth by a cumulative total of 250,000, we noted in July of that year.

• Between January 2023 and October 2024, the BLS’s monthly estimate of jobs created was off by a total of 684,000, we pointed out last November.
