PERHAPS THE REAL CRIMINAL CO-CONSPIRATORA ARE THE "SOFT ON CRIME" PROSECUTORS

Cj davis

Amazing! Memphis Police Chief Cerelyn “CJ” Davis is complaining about her city’s rampant crime wave.

Speaking with NBC affiliate WMC-TV’s Action News 5, the Police Chief of Memphis, Tennessee said, “I don’t care if we have the entire United States Army here in the city of Memphis. If
we continue to see the same individuals committing crimes, you know, arresting our way out of this isn’t possible.”

Even a casual observer would see that the root cause of the Memphis crime wave is not law enforcement but the relaxed progressive communist democrat policies on the prosecution and incarceration of violent and repeat offenders.

Does anybody see the problem here?

ABOUT MEMPHIS POLICE CHIEF CERELYN “CJ” DAVIS

Memphis Police Chief Cerelyn “CJ” Davis has over 35 years of experience in the law enforcement profession. Being focused on holistic interagency wraparound services and transformational policing for crime reduction, Davis’ research-driven work is strongly influenced by the practical application of the latest tools in technology, predictive policing, leadership development, and all-important community engagement.

She began her career with the City of Atlanta Police Department where she learned the importance of forging relationships with Atlanta’s diverse community. She was assigned to a variety of specialized assignments as a young patrol officer and quickly moved through the ranks working as an Investigator in Licenses & Permits, supervisor in Background & Recruitment, Special Victims, Executive Officer to the Chief, Public Affairs, Homeland Security & Organized Crime. As a Commander, she led the Special Operations Section, which included SWAT, Mounted Patrol, Motors, Helicopter Unit, Vice & Narcotics, REDDOG Unit, all Federal Task Force Officers, HIDTA Task Force, Cyber Crimes, Gangs & Guns, and the Surveillance Unit. In addition, she was the Internal Affairs Commander, Airport Section Asst. Commander, and served on Executive Loan as a Project Manager to the Mayor’s Office. After her promotion to Deputy Chief, she led the Strategies & Special Projects Division, overseeing the Department’s new Video Integration Center (VIC), a real-time crime center where she ensured more than 3000 public and private sector cameras were included in the citywide network. Also, under her leadership were Planning & Research, Accreditation (CALEA), the Atlanta Police Leadership Institute (APLI), capital projects, facility improvements, and more. Davis retired in June 2016 to accept the position of Chief of Police for the City of Durham, NC.

As the Chief of Police, Davis made great strides towards improving the Durham Police Department’s outreach and crime reduction efforts by building trust between citizens and law enforcement and fostering sustainable partnerships with key stakeholders.

In April of 2021, Chief Davis was selected by Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland as the first female police chief for the Memphis Police Department. Memphis City Council later confirmed her in May and began her career as the Chief of Police for the Memphis Police Department on June 14, 2021.

Chief Davis is a graduate of the 225th Session of the National FBI Academy and completed senior management training at the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF) in Boston, MA. Chief Davis has experienced training opportunities abroad at the Emergency Preparedness College in York, England, and as a participant in a leadership exchange session with the Israel National Police.

She is a past President of the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE), and recently testified before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee on the matter of Police Reform, in the aftermath of the killing of George Floyd. She has since been featured on Good Morning America, CNN, and other networks as a subject matter expert on this important topic.

She serves on the Board of Directors for the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) and was appointed to North Carolina Governor, Roy Cooper’s Racial Equity in Criminal Justice Task Force. <Source>

Throughout her career, she has received numerous awards and commendations, including Atlanta Police Supervisor of the Year, and featured in OPRAH’ O’ Magazine as the winner of the “Women Rule” competition, where she was recognized for establishing a women’s mentoring initiative entitled, “Sisters-In-Law.” In 2013, she was featured in Atlanta’s Women Looking Ahead Magazine as one of Georgia’s 100 Most Influential Women.

Davis has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Criminal Justice and a Master’s degree in General Administration. She is the proud wife of a supportive husband (retired law enforcement) for 27 years, and a mother of one daughter.

It appears that the police chief is a ticket-punching politician more concerned with optics, public relations, and self-promotion than lobbying for reform within the woke progressive communist democrats.

Chief Davis has repeatedly said that the MPD would focus on the small minority responsible for a high percentage of the crime. Unfortunately, the problem lies outside police jurisdiction.

Another Soros soft-on-crime progressive communist democrat prosecutor?

Shelby County ousts Amy Weirich, elects progressive prosecutor in Steve Mulroy

The Office of the Shelby County District Attorney General is poised for what could be a dramatic change after voters decided to replace incumbent Amy Weirich, a Republican, with Democratic challenger Steve Mulroy.

Promising reform in the district attorney’s office, Mulroy ran on a progressive platform, often targeting Weirich for past prosecutorial misconduct and for her failure to lower crime rates in Shelby County.

While campaigning earlier Thursday, Mulroy said his first priorities if elected would include diversifying the office, beginning a conviction review unit and taking a second look at bail policies.

“I think people need to understand that I’m not anti-police, I don’t want to defund anything,” Mulroy said, responding to some of Weirich’s advertisements during the campaign. “In fact I want to spend more on police, hire more police, train them better, pay them better and refocus on violent crime, because it’s got to be our number one priority.”

Mulroy drew support from high-profile national figures, including EGOT winner John Legend, rapper and actor Common and civil rights attorney Ben Crump. And, he was joined at a luncheon by family members of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Jacob Blake, Black men and women whose stories spread nationwide after they were killed or severely injured by police. <Source>

[ OCS: Steven J. Mulroy is the District Attorney for Shelby County, Tennessee. He was elected DA in August 2022. DA Mulroy oversees a total staff of 238, including more than 110 prosecutors. High-profile attorney Ben Crump has been rewarded handsomely for helicoptering into prominent police abuse cases, making untrue or outlandish claims, and then walking away with multi-million dollar settlements, many unjustified by the facts.]

Bottom line…

It’s not gun control and the necessity to disarm law-abiding citizens to prevent them from self-defense against criminals, crazies, and terrorists. It’s holding everybody accountable for their actions, regardless of politics, identity, class, color, gender, or affiliations. It’s recognizing that it is not disparate impacts if the color of criminals does not mirror the color’s representation in the general population – a ludicrous claim when you have crime clustered in predominant minority inner cities.

Above all, it is the progressive communist democrats trying to destroy the system within and pandering to minority members of their coalition that is the root cause of today’s crime wave.

We are so screwed.

HOW EVIL ARE THE PROGRESSIVE COMMUNIST DEMOCRATS?

Protest

Look closely at those “spontaneous” Palestinian protests in the United States, and something ugly emerges…

Behind some of the largest protests, you will find organizers, agitators, and activists from the progressive movement. Some claim that the Palestinian cause is their cause.

How can this be? How can any rational human being support terrorists who behead babies, mutilate children in front of their parents, urn people alive, and call home to celebrate that they just killed other human beings with their bare hands? Taking pictures of the butchery as souvenirs of “good times?”

The answer is simple: if you follow radical progressive, intersectional theology, which divides humanity into classes, colors, sexes, and other politically useful categories on the path to power.

Radical intersectional theology, with its roots in feminist theory, is an academic's way of considering how various social identities (e.g., race, gender, class, sexuality, and other identity markers) combine to warp power to create systemic oppression.

And that one must understand this intersectionality to analyze current corrupt political systems to promote a more inclusive and fair understanding of social justice.

Proponents demand that one must highlight the experiences of marginalized groups to challenge traditional political narratives that contribute to inequality.

  • If you claim that Palestinians are poor and ill-educated and Israelis are wealthy,  successful, and well-educated, the Palestinians must be oppressed.

  • If you define the Palestinians as “people of color” and Israelis are white, they must be oppressed.

  • If you claim that others ruled over so-called Palestinian lands, you can argue that the rulers were the colonialists and those ruled were the colonialized; the Palestinians must be oppressed.

  • Likewise, with the interchangeable words occupier and occupied, if the Palestinian land is occupied (which it isn't), the Palestinians must be oppressed.  

So, it is logical that those communists who want to support chaos to bring about their desired revolution would naturally use the “Palestinian” cause to further their agenda by claiming to stand “in solidarity” with those they deem oppressed.

An academic bastardization of history…

Arabs, since the term "Palestinian” was artificially crafted by a New York public relations agency, are considered Semitic people. The term "Semitic" originally referred to a language family that includes Arabic, Hebrew, Aramaic, and several other languages. Over time, the term has been extended to encompass the ethnic and cultural groups associated with these languages.

Arabs, who primarily inhabit the Arab world in the Middle East and North Africa, are Semitic people. The Arabic language belongs to the Semitic language family, and Arabs share linguistic, cultural, and historical connections with other Semitic-speaking groups. It's important to note that being Semitic is primarily a linguistic and cultural classification and does not imply a specific racial or genetic identity.

The actual fight in the Middle East…

Believe it or not, the fight is not between Israel and the surrounding Arab nations. It is between 12th-century Islam and the modern Western culture.

The struggle between Islam and modern Western culture is said to be a complex and multifaceted issue involving a clash of religious, cultural, political, and social values. It encompasses debates over issues such as secularism, individual rights, gender equality, freedom of expression, and the role of religion in public life. If you do not submit to Islam, you are to be killed or enslaved, whereas the Western culture is tolerant and more welcoming. 

If the State of Israel did not exist, the Middle East would be consumed by the war between the Sunnis and Shia.

The historical conflict between Sunni and Shia Muslims has deep roots in the early history of Islam and continues to influence current geopolitical dynamics. The primary source of the division lies in a disagreement over the rightful leadership and succession after the death of the Prophet Muhammad in the 7th century.

Yes, the communists are here!

Pro-Palestinian protesters block bridges in Boston, San Francisco during rush hour to call for cease-fire in Gaza.

American Jewish group ‘IfNotNow’ calls for a cease-fire in the Middle East, shutting down the bridge near Boston University.

Pro-Palestinian protesters blocked traffic on bridges in Boston and San Francisco during rush hour Thursday morning to call for a cease-fire in Gaza as Israel continues to target Hamas leadership more than a month after the militant group’s deadly incursion into Israel.

On the Boston University bridge, the group IfNotNow, which says it represents members of Boston’s Jewish community, chanted “Cease-fire now!” and demanded that Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., support an immediate cease-fire and use her influence to stop the Israeli government’s military action in Gaza. 

The protest slowed traffic to a trickle on the bridge, which connects Boston and Cambridge, as the group held signs that said, “Let Gaza Live,” and unfurled a banner across the roadway that read, “Jews say: Ceasefire now.” 

“We care about Palestinian lives; we only want to hurt Hamas,” one protester on the bridge told NBC Boston, while another said, “There can’t be peace for Jews unless there is peace for Palestinians.” <Source>

Who is IfNotNow, and how are they funded? 

According to their IRS 990 tax return, their mission is “To effect change in the American Jewish Community to end support for the occupation of Palestine. And to stand for freedom  and dignity for all Israelis and Palestinians.”

IfNotNow is a far-left organization that protests Israel’s control of the West Bank, its policies in the Gaza Strip, and Israeli policy towards Arabs.

IfNotNow has drawn criticism from within the Jewish community over its tactics and its stances. Among the criticisms is that IfNotNow is more interested in getting publicity through its protests than engaging in a dialogue with the leadership of the Jewish community.

IfNotNow was formed in 2014 following Operation Protective Edge, a campaign by the Israeli military against Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip to combat Hamas rocket attacks on Israelis. The organization demanded that American Jewish organizations end their support for or neutrality toward Israeli control of the West Bank.

IfNotNow’s founders and leaders are Yonah Lieberman, Kara Segal, Max Berger, and Simone Zimmerman. Zimmerman worked for the 2016 presidential campaign of U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT). Sanders fired Zimmerman after a profanity-laced Facebook post criticizing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came to light.

It received a $20,000 grant from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, which has funded BDS-supporting groups like Jewish Voice for Peace.

It received an undisclosed grant from the Foundation for Middle East Peace. <Source>

The other group involved in Wednesday’s protest, IfNotNow, was founded during the 2014 Gaza War by young Jews “angered by the overwhelmingly hawkish response of American Jewish institutions” to the 2014 Gaza War.

Soros’s Open Society gave $400,000 to IfNotNow in 2019 and 2021, according to the Free Beacon.

The group’s total income in fiscal year 2020–2021 was $396,226. According to NGO monitor, the group received $160,000 from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund between 2017 and 2023 and $45,000 from the Tides Foundation. IfNotNow has also received thousands of dollars from the New Israel Fund’s Progressive Jewish Fund and the Foundation for Middle East Peace.

The group stages protests and sit-ins at the headquarters of American Jewish communal organizations and runs “small, weekend-long orientation trainings on our movement DNA – our collective strategy, story, and structure.”

It has also run training seminars for summer camp counselors to “develop programming introducing Palestinian narratives and…’the moral costs of occupation.’”

During a series of Passover “liberation Seders” in 2016, members were arrested for trespassing and disorderly conduct. Members in Boston were arrested when they chained themselves inside the Boston AIPAC lobby in 2016.

The group has been involved in numerous controversies, including in May 2017, when members organized a protest against Jerusalem Day and the March of the Flags outside of Damascus Gate, in which several protesters were arrested by Israeli police and in February 2017, when activists were arrested for interrupting the Senate Foreign Relations Committee during confirmation hearings for David Friedman and his nomination as US Ambassador to Israel. In June 2017, members were expelled from the National Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia after creating a “pop-up exhibit about 50 years of Occupation.”

IfNotNow was also behind a June 2018 publicity stunt in which its members crashed a Birthright trip and encouraged participants to instead join a Breaking the Silence tour. IfNotNow members also harassed Birthright participants while they waited to board a flight from Israel to New York, shouting that “Birthright goes against Jewish morals.”

In May 2021, IfNotNow released a list of names of individuals killed in the fighting and urged people to recite the Jewish Mourner’s Prayer. However, more than 40 individuals on the list were Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists, according to NGO Monitor.

It wasn’t the first time the group had offered its condolences for terrorists. In May 2019, after terrorist groups fired more than 600 rockets and mortars toward Israel, IfNotNow called the death of Imad Mohammad Nseir, a member of a rocket launching unit of the Kataeb Humat al-Aqsa organization, “devastating.”

After the October 7 terrorist attacks, IfNotNow said it “cannot and will not say today’s actions by Palestinian militants are unprovoked.”

“Every day under Israel’s system of apartheid is a provocation. The strangling siege on Gaza is a provocation,” the statement added.

The group claimed the blood of those killed in the attack “is on the hands of the Israeli government, the US government which funds and excuses their recklessness, and every international leader who continues to turn a blind eye to decades of Palestinian oppression, endangering both Palestinian and Israelis.” <Source>

Bottom line…

Hamas faces an existential threat at the hands of the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) and desperately needs a cease-fire to escape, re-group, and re-arm. The communists are trying desperately to keep the conflict alive.

It is disgusting that several nations, organizations, and individuals are exacerbating and exploiting the suffering of fellow human beings for their own self-interests, be they power, profits, recognition, or the gratification of warped minds bent on destruction.

The claim the matter is complex, diverse, and nuanced is utter nonsense. Those who claim there is a need for an ongoing dialogue and negotiation toward understanding and cooperation are disingenuous.

There can be no compromise between good and evil. And if you do not consider beheading or mutilating babies or burning babies alive in kitchen ovens while celebrating and documenting your behavior – you are evil and beyond redemption. You deserve to be eradicated from the face of the Earth.

There has never been a more colonizing religion than Islam. To claim there is intersectionality between Islam and queer and transgender people is to ignore the fact that these people will be killed in Islamic countries. -- yet these fools support Hamas. 

We are so screwed.

Remarks by President Biden on Actions to Address the Climate Crisis

Q.    What are the possibilities in San Francisco, Mr. President?  
Q.    Sir, (inaudible) with your meeting with Xi tomorrow, sir? And do you — what — how would you define success with your meeting with President Xi?

THE PRESIDENT:  To get back on a normal course of corresponding: being able to pick up the phone and talk to one another when there’s a crisis, being able to make sure our militaries still have contact with one another.
We can’t take — as I told you, we’re not trying to decouple from China, but we’re — what we’re trying to do is change the relationship for the better. From my perspective, if in fact the Chinese people are in trouble right now economically — if the average homeowner or — the “homeowner” — if the average citizen in China was able to have a decent-paying job, that benefits them and it benefits all of us. But I’m not going to continue to sustain the support for positions where if you want to invest in China, we have to turn over all our trade secrets. 

[OCS: Given three years of Biden’s domestic policies, it sounds to me that Biden may be more interested in the average citizen in China than the average citizen in America.]

Thank you.

With Xi Jinping, the President of the People’s Republic of China, arriving at the 30th Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in San Francisco at a time of weakness, when China is beset with major economic woes and facing massive unrest in China,  what is likely on the Agenda – and will his handlers instruct President Biden to press the U.S. advantage?

AGENDA
Miracle: San Francisco progressive communist democrats shake their magic wand and solve the problems of homelessness, open drug use, and rampant crime.

To impress communist dictator Xi Jinping, the politicians have created a clean, safe space that will serve as a Potemkin Village for the visiting dignitaries and international media. Pissing off the long-suffering San Francisco residents and business community who are asking will these same politico’s allow the area to relapse into a cesspool once Xi Jinping’s jet leaves for China—bemoaning the use of their tax dollars to create an acceptable photo-op background.

Even the former San Francisco Mayor and California Governor says the quiet part out loud when he answers his own question.

Gavin Newsom admits he is cleaning San Francisco ahead of APEC: 'It's true'

"I know folks say, 'Oh, they're just cleaning up this place because all those fancy leaders are coming into town,' That's true, because it's true." <Source>

Bottom line…

Can we trust President Biden, so demonstrably vulnerable to Chinese and Ukrainian extortion, to set U.S. policy concerning China and Ukraine?

Will Biden, once again, embarrass America with his gaffes or behavior?

We are so screwed when we cannot be sure that the President of the United States represents America.

BIDEN: HERE'S THE DEAL

Sane

It is a certainty that President Joe Biden is unfit to hold the Office of the Presidency and the position of Commander-in-Chief, now and in the future.

Few believe that Biden, who can barely speak coherently for more than a few minutes, even using assistive devices such as a teleprompter, and who appears lost without someone at his elbow, can make the political and military decisions in this increasingly dangerous world.

Even the progressive communist democrats and their propagandists in the legacy mainstream media are concerned enough to start criticizing Biden-- if only to preserve their credibility in time for the 2024 presidential election.

Joe Biden is not above the law; he is legally beyond the law…

There is little or no chance that Joe Biden will face a criminal trial for massive criminal-level corruption or treason or as a foreign agent selling out America to her enemies.

Biden is not above the law; he is beyond the law. His lack of competency to stand trial renders him immune to prosecution. The legal requirement for individuals facing criminal charges is that they must be able to assist in their own defense. His get-out-of-jail card is his inability to recall specific events without lying, understand detailed documentation, and assist in his own defense.

This standard was established in 1960 by the U.S. Supreme Court in Dusky v. United States. It describes the test for competency as whether a defendant has “sufficient present ability to consult with his lawyer with a reasonable degree of rational understanding—and whether he has a rational as well as factual understanding of the proceedings against him.”

See Dusky v. United States, 362 U.S. 402 (1960).

The Court found that a defendant must understand the charges against them and the defendant must have the ability to aid their attorney in their own defense.

It appears “the deal, you know ‘the thing’” may be done and close to being announced…

Considering Occam’s razor, the simplest explanation with the fewest assumptions is often likely to be correct; it stands to reason that the progressive communist democrats and their Republican cohorts will allow President Joe Biden to pardon himself, his family members, and perhaps key political actors, in return for withdrawing his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election. He would remain President lest another incompetent, incomprehensible fool, Vice President Kamala Harris, become the President.

The timing?

The scheme will probably kick off after the primary season when the candidate of choice will be selected at the Democratic National Convention to be held in Chicago between August 19 and August 22, ironically one of America's most politically corrupt cities. Bypassing any opportunity for citizen democrats to engage in the process.

The media's response...

Here’s How Biden Can Turn It Around

Just under one year before the presidential election, Democrats should be concerned but not panicked about President Biden’s standing.

2024 will be an extraordinary election, and it demands extraordinary measures.

That’s in part for reasons Biden refuses to accept: his capacity to do the job. The oldest president in history when he first took the oath, Biden will not be able to govern and campaign in the manner of previous incumbents. He simply does not have the capacity to do it, and his staff doesn’t trust him to even try, as they make clear by blocking him from the press. Biden’s bid will give new meaning to a Rose Garden campaign, and it requires accommodation to that unavoidable fact of life. <Source>

Biden and the Obamacons: the face of treason...

Considering Iran's long history as a state sponsor of terrorism, including Hamas, Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Houthis, Asaib Ahl al Haq, Ansar Allah, and many others -- and the barbarous terrorist attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, it is inconceivable that any rational national leader would further fund this terrorist regime. Yet, we find the progressive communist democrats from Obama to Biden facilitating the flow of billions of dollars into Iran's terror machine.

Biden Admin Considering Giving Iran Access to Another $10 Billion

The Biden administration — through the State Department specifically — is reportedly considering issuing a waiver to Iran that would allow access to another $10 billion worth of previously frozen cash, this time held in Iraq.

This alarming development comes after the Biden administration — in the days before Iran-backed Hamas terrorists launched their October 7 slaughter of Israelis — unfroze billions of dollars for Iran as part of a questionable prisoner swap arrangement. Since that deal was made, Iranian proxies have continued to launch attacks at Israel as well as U.S. troops in the Middle East, wounding dozens of American service members.

If the Biden administration thinks that the way to get Iran and its proxies to stop attacking American service members in Syria and elsewhere in the Middle East is a bribe payment, they might just be the worst policymakers to traipse D.C.'s corridors of power.If anything, it shows that Biden is unserious about preventing Iran's malign actions and influence and seemingly wants to see current hostilities in the region devolve into wider war.

It's not difficult to understand: Iran needs money to fund its terrorist proxies. When there isn't money, they can't support the likes of Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, or the Houthis in Yemen and the ability to carry out attacks is diminished. But when they're flush with cash, terrorism naturally increases as Tehran can send more funds to those bloodthirsty terrorists which happily put the investment to work killing Israelis, Americans, and other free people in the Middle East and even elsewhere around the world.

Instead of waiving sanctions on billions of dollars for Iran, the Biden administration should be snapping back the Trump administration's "maximum pressure" campaign on Iran, clamping down on Iran's illicit oil sales, and certainly not allowing sanctions on Iran's weapons programs to expire. <Source>

Amazing the support for a nation that screams, "Death to America." 

Biden wants to give aid and comfort to a country that directly supports the terrorists who HOLD AMERICAN CITIZENS. 

Where is the call for Hamas to surrender and withdraw from the hospitals, allow humanitarian aid to reach the hospital without theft, and allow Israel to evacuate the most vulnerable patients?

Vh-1

Bottom line…

Our nation is navigating perilous waters and operating extremely close to unmarked shoals. While former President Obama is no longer the captain, it is his progressive communist democrat acolytes who are whispering in Biden’s ear, writing his notecards, and creating his teleprompter scripts.

With incompetent individuals like National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland creating policies that put the United States further at risk for catastrophic encounters with hostile foreign actors, we are in deep trouble.

Incompetence alone cannot explain the actions of Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, Attorney General  Merrick Garland, FBI Director Christopher Wray, and others who willfully ignore the U.S. Constitution and federal laws. They are getting their marching orders from somewhere, and it isn’t President Joe Biden,

To say we are screwed is an understatement.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH CHRIS VAN HOLLEN (D-HAMAS)

Why do Western cultures assume that everybody thinks as they do? Wants what they want? And values what they value? And refuses to listen to our enemies who are not shy about their goals?

More specifically, why do politicians refuse to accept the fact that the goal of intolerant Islam is to kill or enslave infidels? Deceiving themselves to avoid unpleasant truths, to maintain a positive self-image, to generate positive media attention, and to pander to members of their coalition.

Why do fools like Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) ignore the severe costs and risks of supporting terrorist regimes that have been proven to be toxic to America and Americans?

Vanh

Israel

Here is a progressive communist democrat fool who spreads Hamas propaganda, ignoring the fact that Hamas does not care about, and actually welcomes, civilian deaths.

  • Hamas hides terrorists and weapons in private homes, schools, hospitals, and Mosques.

  • Hamas has large stockpiles of food, fuel, and medicine for itself while demanding that it is the duty of the United Nations and the “occupiers” to take care of Gazan civilians.

  • Hamas interdicts humanitarian aid for itself and prevents civilians from seeking shelter away from hostilities.

  • Gazan civilians elected Hamas as their governing body, cheered as Hamas butchered Israelis and many civilians participated in the atrocities directed at Israel.
  • Israel is being held to restrictions that no other country has imposed on its military.

This is not the first time that Van Hollen sided with terrorists... 
In July 2006, Van Hollen urged the Bush administration to support a ceasefire supported by a peacekeeping force that would end the 2006 Lebanon War. He was criticized by elements of the Jewish and pro-Israel community, a large part of his constituency, for criticizing U.S. and Israeli policy in the Lebanon conflict.

Van Hollen has a suspect history...

Van Hollen was born in Karachi, Pakistan, the eldest of three children of American parents, Edith Eliza and Christopher Van Hollen. His father was a Foreign Service officer who served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs (1969–1972) and U.S. Ambassador to Sri Lanka and the Maldives (1972–1976);[7] his mother worked in the Central Intelligence Agency and the State Department, where she served as chief of the intelligence bureau for South Asia. He spent parts of his early life in Pakistan, Turkey, India, and Sri Lanka.

Letter to Biden...

As you prepare to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel, we urge that every effort be made to avoid civilian harm and to allow access to humanitarian aid for those in need, including but not limited to:

Restoring access to food, electricity, water, fuel, and medicine for the approximately two million Palestinian civilians living in Gaza, including more than one million children, who are victims themselves of Hamas’ oppressive rule;
Establishing a humanitarian corridor immediately to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza and safe passage for U.S. citizens who seek safety outside Gaza; and
Mitigating the destruction of Palestinian homes in Gaza from which they are being urged to flee so they may return to live when hostilities end, as well as other civilian infrastructure. <Source>

Bottom line...

Fools like Van Hollen make it more difficult for Israel to root out and destroy Hamas terrorists. Likewise, they do nothing as criminals, crazies, and terrorists flood over our open Southern Border. Making America less safe and putting Americans at risk -- Pushing for denying Americans the God-given right to self-defense by advocating for the disarming of law-abiding citizens because a minuscule few abuse firearms.

I don't see Van Hollen calling for Hamas to release the hostages or surrender unconditionally, which would stop some civilian deaths.

The greatest cause of Muslim death in the Middle East is other Muslims.

We are so screwed.

WILL TEXAS A&M HIRE A BLACK, MARXIST, LESBIAN TO HEAD THEIR FOOTBALL PROGRAM?

The ATM at Texas A&M must be gushing money…

Texas-am

It is a certainty that football is a big multi-million dollar business at Texas A&M University, a public, land-grant research university in College Station, Texas, founded in 1876 and the flagship institution of the Texas A&M University System.

According to published statistics…

According to Texas A&M University - College Station Athletics Programs (collegefactual.com), the Texas A&M College Station football program paid $40,626,375 in expenses and made $78,052,665 in total revenue. This equates to a net profit of $37,426,290 for the program. It is unknown if multi-million dollar contributions to the football program and other revenue sources were included in these numbers. 

How else could Texas A&M afford to buy out the contract of fired head football coach John James “Jimbo” Fisher Jr. for a reported $76+ million?

It should be noted that the TAMU athletics department receives $0 from student fees and $0 from the university.

You lose, you win big!

According to Texas A&M athletic director Ross Bjork, “After very careful analysis of all the components related to Texas A&M football, I recommended to President Welsh and then Chancellor Sharp that a change in the leadership of the program was necessary in order for Aggie football to reach our full potential and they accepted my decision. We appreciate Coach Fisher’s time here at Texas A&M and we wish him the best in his future endeavors.”

Fisher’s record was 45-25 in six seasons at Texas A&M.

Fisher signed a contract after a well-played negotiation that featured a 10-year contract with $95 million guaranteed in 2021, threatening to leave for another school, LSU, if the terms did not meet his expectations.

Where are the social justice warriors and student activists screaming about racial justice and income inequality?

Why is it that the social justice warriors are afraid to tackle (pun intended) the problem of racial justice and income inequality in school athletics coaching programs?

Could it be that, unlike the academic community filled with timid “go along to get along” wussies, the so-called “warriors” understand big players, beer-drinking fans, and an unsympathetic media would figuratively and literally crush them?

How many Black head coaches are there in college football? All you need to know

The stark absence of diversity in a sport where over half of the players identify as Black remains a topic of great concern among college sports fans. There are currently 5 Black head coaches among the 133 Football Bowl Subdivision teams, accounting for approximately 10.5% of all coaches. <Source>

Bottom line…

It's time for a historic head coach: a black lesbian Marxist who knows little or nothing about football but checks all of the DEI boxes.

We are so screwed.

ANTONY BLINKEN: THE NEVILLE CHAMBERLIN OF OUR TIME

I am convinced that Secretary of State Antony Blinken is former President Obama’s man in the Biden Administration, promoting Obama’s anti-Israel, anti-Semitic, anti-Netanyahu policies of appeasement to the Muslim world.

Totally ignoring the strategic national interests of the United States and the recognition that it is Israel that stands between the intolerant fascist Islamists who want to destroy any vestige of Western culture and any individual who does not believe as they do.

Totally ignoring the fact, as stated openly by the Islamists themselves, that they historically and currently reject a two-state solution and will continue fighting for their Caliphate and, eventually, a world without Jews, Christians, and unbelievers.

Willing weakness...

DOSSecretary of State Antony J. Blinken Remarks to the Press

This marks the last day of what’s now been a nine-day trip of intensive diplomacy throughout the Middle East and now here in the Indo-Pacific.

And along the way and at each stop, in different ways, we’ve sought to advance a number of critical objectives:

  • minimizing harm to Palestinian civilians and maximizing the humanitarian assistance that reaches them;

    [OCS: Not only is it next to impossible to differentiate between Hamas terrorists and other Palestinian Arab civilians, many of whom are used for human shields, but it was the Palestinian Arab population that openly elected Hamas to represent and govern them and openly celebrated the October 7 terrorist atrocities inflicted on Israel. It has been long established that Hamas steals the great majority of humanitarian aid to distribute among its fighters with open disdain for the Palestinian Arab population – leaving their care and feeding to the United Nations and the “occupiers.” ]

  • working to prevent the spread of the conflict;

    [OCS: The spread of any conflict is not in the hands of Hamas, a proxy of Iran, but in the hands of the Mullahs and their Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Unfortunately, both Obama and Biden continue their outrageous negotiations with Iran for little more than a photo-op and worthless piece of paper. Under Obama’s watch, Iran was allowed to move closer to a nuclear weapon, develop ICBMs (InterContinental Ballistic Missiles) capable of reaching the United States, and develop sophisticated weapons of war, which they now export to other countries hostile to the United States. Obama single-handedly rescued Iran’s faltering economy and refused to support a popular uprising that supported regime change. Likewise, President Biden pumped additional billions of dollars into the Iranian economy – full well knowing Iran was killing American citizens.]

  • focusing on getting hostages home as well as getting American citizens and other foreign nationals out of Gaza; and

    [OCS: We cannot negotiate with terrorists, and as cruel and heartless as it may seem, alter our national policies to advantage our enemies based on a relatively few hostages.]

  • working to set sustainable, durable conditions for genuinely lasting peace and security for Israelis and Palestinians alike.

    [OCS: Nothing short of the removal of Israel from the region and the death of all Jews will satisfy Hamas. For those who were awake, the last implicit cease-fire was broken by Hamas with the October 7 attack. And all through the preceding period, unguided rockets were hurled at Israel’s civilian areas.]

To that end, I’ve had conversations starting a week ago with the Israeli Government about steps that can be taken to advance each of these objectives. And among those steps that we talked about more than a week ago were humanitarian pauses. These can advance all of the objectives that I just mentioned. We appreciate the fact that, yesterday, Israel announced four-hour pauses with three-hour notice in specific areas, as well as two humanitarian corridors that will allow people to move more safely and freely to get out of harm’s way and also to access assistance. These steps will save lives and will enable more assistance to get to Palestinians in need.

[OCS: In warfare, there is no such thing as a scheduled “humanitarian pause.” Not only is this a time for your enemies to re-group and re-arm, but it is time for terrorists to slip the cordon to be exfiltrated with civilians.]

At the same time, much more needs to be done to protect civilians and to make sure that humanitarian assistance reaches them. Far too many Palestinians have been killed; far too many have suffered these past weeks. And we want to do everything possible to prevent harm to them and to maximize the assistance that gets to them.

[OCS: Does the clueless Blinken understand that any humanitarian aid must flow through the governing body of Gaza – and that body is Hamas?]

To that end, we’ll be continuing to discuss with Israel concrete steps that can be taken to advance these objectives. We’ll continue to focus relentlessly on getting our hostages home. We’ll continue to focus on expanding humanitarian assistance that gets into Gaza and reaches people in effective ways. And we’ll continue to focus on the steps that can be taken now to try to start to set the foundation for durable and lasting peace, which, as we’ve said repeatedly and believe, has to include two states for two peoples. <Source: The Department of State>

[OCS: No! To that end, you should leave it to Israel to manage its own affairs in the region and concentrate your time, energy, and military assets on Iran. Repelling Houthi attacks on our unarmed observation drones flying in international airspace.]

A historical note…

Appeasement is a diplomatic strategy. It involves making concessions to an aggressive foreign power in order to avoid war. It is most commonly associated with British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, in office from 1937 to 1940. In the 1930s, the British government pursued a policy of appeasement towards Nazi Germany. Today, appeasement is usually regarded as a failure because it did not prevent World War II. <Source: United States Holocaust Memorial Museum>

Aiding and abetting our enemies...

Biden Keeps the Billions Flowing to Iran
Choosing not to enforce oil sanctions finances Tehran’s terrorism.

You’d think the Biden Administration would have realized by now that enriching the Iranian regime is a dangerous mistake. You’d be wrong. Relaxed U.S. enforcement of oil sanctions continued through October, refilling Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s coffers even after the Oct. 7 slaughter and the more than 40 attacks on U.S. troops by Iran’s proxies in the weeks since.

The Iranian surge in oil exports since President Biden took over has brought Iran an additional $32 billion to $35 billion, according to the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. The calculations are tricky, but the cause of the Iranian windfall is clear: As part of Mr. Biden’s quiet diplomacy with Iran, the U.S. has curtailed sanctions enforcement. Customers and middlemen have concluded the risk is low and the discount on Iran’s oil is too good to pass up. <Source>

Bottom line…

Biden surrendered Afghanistan and armed fascist Islamists with sophisticated weapons. And now he is attempting to surrender Israel, one of the only forces standing between Western civilization and a 12th-century barbaric culture.

We are so screwed.
