Michigan Dem Senate Hopeful Abdul El-Sayed: Because Nothing Says 'Electable' Like Calling Border Agents 'White Supremacists'

Oh, the joys of Democratic primary season in Michigan. Enter Abdul El-Sayed, the progressive darling gunning for that open Senate seat in 2026, who's apparently decided that the best way to win hearts and minds is by channeling his inner AOC on steroids. 

In a post that's now vanished faster than a Hunter Biden stash, El-Sayed decided to drop some real wisdom on the border crisis: labeling U.S. Border Patrol agents as "white supremacists" while pinning the blame for illegal immigration square on Uncle Sam's shoulders. Interesting strategy that tends to cater to the kids.

Flash back to September 24, 2021, when El-Sayed took to X (back when it was still Twitter and free speech wasn't yet a punchline) to rant about a photo that had all the hallmarks of a viral hoax. You know the one: the "whipping" incident with Haitian migrants, where a mounted agent was accused of playing cowboy with a lash. [Spoiler: It was just a rein, and it was only being used on the horses.] Investigations cleared the agents quicker than you can say "fake news," but that didn't stop our hero from saddling up his high horse.

"Blaming horses for the dudes riding them to whip Haitian refugees is like blaming Haiti for the fact they're coming," El-Sayed wrote. "How about asking how our policies decimate Caribbean & Central American (and so many other) countries—and why we allow white supremacists to police our borders?"

Nothing screams "I'm ready for prime time" like equating hardworking federal agents with the ghosts of the Klan while ignoring the actual pull factors drawing folks north: jobs, safety, and the American dream that libs like El-Sayed pretend is just a mirage cooked up by colonial ghosts.

This gem surfaced right on the heels of El-Sayed getting roasted for scrubbing other social media landmines where he peddled the "defund the police" gospel. 

Remember that fever dream from 2020-2021, the one where torching precincts was "mostly peaceful" and cops were the real villains? Yeah, that toxic sludge has curdled into electoral kryptonite for Democrats, and El-Sayed's border bromides aren't exactly a palate cleanser. The Comedy News Network, of all outlets, clocked the deletions on Monday, because even the legacy media can't ignore a self-own this epic.

But let's get real for a second, or as real as El-Sayed allows reality to enter the arena. He loves to finger-wag at "bad U.S. policy" for the migrant flood, but the numbers laugh in his face. Federal surveys paint a picture straight out of Economics 101: Immigrants, documented or not, flock here for the greenbacks and the lack of cartel drive-bys back home. Central America's a hot mess of violence and poverty, sure, but it's the stars-and-stripes beacon of opportunity that's the magnet, not some CIA plot from the School of the Americas playbook.

That's why voters have been demanding tougher borders louder than an antifa riot in LA. We're talking assimilation overload, too many arrivals, too fast, and the system's creaking like an old pickup on I-75. In Michigan, no less, where nearly 20% of voters last year pegged immigration as their top beef, per the Associated Press. And don't forget: That hawkish vibe was the secret sauce in Trump's 2024 Michigan magic, as an AP poll confirms. Blue-collar folks aren't buying the "open borders or bust" schtick; they want security with their sanctuary cities.

El-Sayed, bless his activist heart, has been slinging shade at Trump since the announcement, whining that the ex-prez's moves are "destroy[ing] the rule of law" and siccing ICE on folks to "terrorize neighborhoods." Cute. But calling border guards "white supremacists"? That's not just extreme; it's the kind of unhinged that makes even his Squad mates blush. If this is the Left's idea of a swing-state savior, pass the popcorn—2026's gonna be a clown show for the ages.

Memory Lane: Mamdani promised to "disband" key police unit that handles mass shootings

Picture the scene: New York City is still shaking after a psycho gunman, Shane Tamura, stormed a Midtown office building, unloading a hail of bullets that left four dead, including an NYPD cop, before shooting himself in the chest. Blood on the pavement, chaos in the streets, and now the city is staring down the barrel of a mayoral race where the Democratic nominee, Zohran Mamdani, is catching heat for some wild anti-cop promises that sound like they were cooked up in a thug's fever dream.

Mamdani, who is currently off in Uganda tying the knot while the city mourns, has been flapping his gums about gutting the NYPD's Strategic Response Group (SRG). This isn’t some desk-jockey unit, the SRG’s the heavy hitters, the ones who roll out when riots, shootings, or straight-up anarchy hit the streets. 

According to the NYPD's own site, these guys are "highly trained personnel" with "specialized equipment," tasked with handling "citywide mobilizations, civil disorders, and major events." They're the ones you call when the city's burning, or when crime spikes and you need boots on the ground to lock it down. They're also the crew that shows up for "shootings, bank robberies, missing persons, demonstrations, or other significant incidents." You know, the kind of stuff that just went down at 345 Park Ave, where Tamura turned a Monday into a slaughterhouse.

But Zohran Mamdani has a bone to pick. Back in December 2024, while already running for mayor, he took to X and swore he would "disband" the SRG. Why? He posted on X that they were out there to "harass + arrest striking @teamsters," and that they’ve "cost taxpayers millions in lawsuit settlements + brutalized countless New Yorkers exercising their first amendment rights." 

Yeah, that’s his pitch: torch a unit that is literally built to stop the kind of chaos we just saw, all because this communist has a vendetta against cops. This is the same guy who’s been screaming "defund the police" for years, though he's tried to dial it back to a whisper now that he's got his eyes on City Hall. 

Fast-forward to Monday's carnage. Tamura, an apparent psychi with a grudge against the NFL, something about CTE and too many hits to the head which can only be diagnosed post mortem, walks into the tower at 345 Park Ave, home to big companies like Blackstone Inc. and the NFL. He opens fire, dropping NYPD Officer Didarul Islam, Blackstone exec Wesley LePatner, security guard Aland Etienne, and Rudin Management associate Julia Hyman. 

Four lives senselessly ended, and the city’s left picking up the pieces. 

Mamdani, from halfway across the globe, chimes in with the standard politician's lament: "I’m heartbroken to learn of the horrific shooting in midtown and I am holding the victims, their families, and the NYPD officer in critical condition in my thoughts." Oh, and suddenly he's "grateful for all of our first responders on the ground." This butt-munch will say anything for votes but when it comes to what he'll do if elected, New York will become the Wild, Wild East.

Real noble, Zohran, but maybe check your own playbook, you freaking promised to gut the unit those first responders rely on.

Meanwhile, Mayor Eric Adams, who's running for re-election as an independent and doesn't shy away from swinging back, isn't letting this slide. He's ordered all city flags to half-staff "as a mark of respect for the memory of NYPD Officer Didarul Islam who died in the line of duty and the multiple victims of the mass shooting in Midtown Manhattan at 345 Park Avenue yesterday." 

Adams didn’t mince words on X either: "Officer Didarul Islam died as he lived, a hero and protector of New York City. We will never forget you." That’s the kind of gut-punch clarity you get from a guy who's been in the trenches, not some ivory-tower type dreaming up ways to kneecap the NYPD.

So here’s the deal: NYC is bleeding, and Mamdani is out here playing revolutionary, vowing to dismantle the very units that keep the city from spiraling into a free-for-all. Does that sound like a guy ready to lead, or someone who’s gonna let the streets burn while he’s tweeting from a wedding in Uganda? 

Hey fellow patriots, if you enjoy my content, I hope you'll consider supporting Brain Flushings with a small donation to Buy Me a Coffee. It keeps me going and fuels my late-night writing sessions with fresh ideas. Let's keep the good vibes brewing!

Progressive who called for defunding cops requests cops to protect him at home

Rep. Greg Casar, a leftist lawmaker who voted to defund the Austin PD as a city council member [and we all know the street definition of 'member'] is a hypocrite for requesting heightened police protection outside his home. The frightened flower sent the request to the United States Capitol Police who then passed it along to the Austin PD, which Casar voted to defund.

Casar's office responded to the media: "Our office has not been in communication with the Austin Police Department on this matter because these issues are handled by the United States Sergeant at Arms, who then works with U.S. Capitol Police and local law enforcement agencies,” the statement said. But if the Capitol Police Dept. made the request to the Austin Police Dept. then naturally Casar's office did not do the communicating, so they didn't lie, sort of.

The Austin Police Retired Officers Association called the request “the height of hypocrisy.” And it's also kind of the height of wimpy.

"It’s come to our attention that Anti police king of the defund movement in Austin @GregCasar who only last week called APD an agency with racist practices has requested enhanced patrols around his house for the next week," the group said on X. "We want everyone in Austin to feel safe. But this seems to us as the height of hypocrisy from the congressman. Maybe he should hire private security like his fellow squad members do. Sure seems like he wants the police in his neighborhood just not yours."

Gosh, a Democrat who is also a hypocrite. Whoda thunk?

In addition to his call to defund the police, just last week the leftist hypocrite wrote to the Department of Justice about the Austin PD, calling for "systemic reforms to the Department's policies and practices of excessive and lethal use of force, racial discrimination, and discrimination against people with mental health conditions."

But since he wants the Austin PD to protect him, it's probable that he really never meant it and only wanted to score points with Putin and Soros.

The proverbial chickens come home in Austin, TX

The Austin PD is hundreds of cops short of a safe city as crime rises to dramatic heights. Of course, this was predictable after the city had undergone and felt the aftershocks of the  "Defund the Police" movement which predictably created staff shortages and thus leaving 911 callers on hold. 

Thomas Villarreal, president of the Austin Police Association, says the city council is to blame as they neglected law enforcement in the name of wokeness. On Monday, Villarreal told "Fox & Friends" the alleged screwups have created a larger problem.

"We just continue to have a city council that doesn't show its police officers that cares about them," he explained.

"Back in December 2017, we had a city council vote down a police contract for the first time in the history of negotiating contracts. And, you know, we pushed forward to 2018, tried to get back under contract. Our city decided to go through what they called reimagining police oversight. And then, you know, we got back under contract."

Well residents of Austin can now reimagine a knife held to their throat or their stores being mob-robbed.

That was before the 2020 summer riots that followed the death of the sainted thug George Floyd, Villarreal noted, adding that 20 officers were then indicted for "doing their jobs" during the chaos.

Fox News' Steve Doocy reported that WalletHub data shows Austin as 15th in the nation of the most homicides in the U.S. and notes that more than 800 cops left the force in the last six years. The hemorrhaging of officers also came as the Austin PD suffered $150 million budget cut – roughly a third – in 2020.

"We just have a backward slide. You know, we're we're a growing city, a city that should be up around 2,000 officers and growing right now," Villarreal said.

"I've got about 1,475 officers in our police department and, you know, we're moving in the wrong direction. There's less and less and less resources to go out and do the job. I've got detectives who are pulled away from their caseload to just help answer 911 calls because we just don't have the resources to adequately police the city."

Democratic Mayor of Austin Kirk Watson said last month that the city was suspending its partnership with the Texas Department of Safety, an agency whose officers respond to emergency calls to assist the police. To a visitor from another planet, this has all the trappings of a person who wants his city to fail. 

Well, at least the city has finally gotten what they voted for and they got it good and hard.

Chicago Mayor-elect makes excuses for rampaging youths as the city circles the bowl

Chicago's Democrat Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson couldn't get an entire first paragraph out about the teen takeover riots that terrorized the Windy City, destroying property, and wrecking violence as hundreds of youths descended upon the downtown area for two consecutive nights, without making excuses for their wild behavior.

On one side of his mouth, Johnson condemned the rioting, and on the other side said that condemning them is "not constructive." But he doesn't offer any alternative and condemning them following up with consequences for their violence and destruction, seems like it might make them, or other young people, think before they rampage. 

Attacking innocent bystanders, destroying property, firing guns in the streets should be vilified, should have consequences.

Two teenage males, 16 and 17, were shot while hanging out in a crowd during the rioting on Saturday night. They were taken to the hospital and listed in fair condition.

Hundreds of teens smashed cars, fought in the streets and blocked traffic. Johnson responded to the rioting in a statement Sunday:

"In no way do I condone the destructive activity we saw in the Loop and lakefront this weekend. It is unacceptable and has no place in our city. However, it is not constructive to demonize youth who have otherwise been starved of opportunities in their own communities. 

"Our city must work together to create spaces for youth to gather safely and responsibly, under adult guidance and supervision, to ensure that every part of our city remains welcome for both residents and visitors."

Chicago police arrested nine adults and six juveniles in connection with the rampage, which was advertised on social media. A 16-year-old boy was charged with unlawful use of a weapon, while two other suspects were charged with possession of a stolen vehicle. Most of the other arrests were for reckless conduct.

Current Mayor and loser in the recent election, Lori Lightfoot, condemned the "reckless, disrespectful and unlawful behavior" on display over the weekend. She blamed the parents but, like Johnson, had no solutions other than to point fingers.

"As I have said before, we as a city cannot and will not allow any of our public spaces to become a platform for criminal conduct," Lightfoot said in a statement. "Most importantly, parents and guardians must know where their children are and be responsible for their actions. Instilling the important values of respect for people and property must begin at home."

But they, as a city, allowed their public spaces to become a platform for criminal conduct. So what the hell is she talking about? What is the city going to do about it? Blame parents, when the real problem isn't the one parent raising these kids, it's the lack of fathers in the home, the disrespect the left constantly displays for law enforcement and even the law itself?

Johnson has caught backlash from the centrist wing of the Democratic Party during the mayoral run over his history of support for defunding the police by giving funds earmarked for them to other social services. Just another position he had to walk back until now.

Johnson had proposed to fund social workers, not cops, in 2020, calling it an "actual, real political goal." But when he ran for mayor, he changed his tune and walked it back with what sounded like a Kamala Harris excuse for lying in a debate ["It was a debate, hahahaha. It was a hahahaha, debate."] Johnson said, "I said it was a political goal. I never said it was mine." 

In other words, political goals are simply goals to get elected and don't need to represent what you're really going to do.

Johnson also wants to raise taxes on financial transactions, and increase large company head tax from $1 to $4 per company employee, and raise $98 million in jet fuel tax. All this in order to provide all kinds of services to illegal aliens and even allow them to vote in school board elections. 

What is also very important to him is to protect the right to kill the unborn and punish those who misgender people disguised as members of their opposite sex.

So don't expect much of a difference between Lori Lightfoot and Brandon Johnson when it comes to crime and leftist values.

San Francisco spvr. Hillary Ronan called for defunding police in 2020, now begs for more cops

San Francisco district supervisor Hillary Ronen, a Democrat of course, had called for the defunding of the police back in 2020 at a time when the city was running amok with crime but the George Floyd riots with its looting, destruction of property, and violence was not seen as a problem for the left. So little of a problem that CNN referred to the fires burning on screen behind reporters, referred to the chaos as "mostly peaceful protests."

Now Ronen, who represents District 9 on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, is belting out another tune, practically begging to add more cops to the Mission District, which she misrepresents.

The humbled Democrat attacked San Francisco's police chief for spending a large amount of overtime on an anti-retail theft program in lieu of prioritizing a heavier police presence in her district.

"I've been begging this department to give the Mission what it deserves in terms of police presence all year long," Ronen admitted. "And I have been told time and time and time and time again there are no officers that we can send to Mission." Wow, three time and time[s] she said, so it must be serious.

"It hurts. And I feel betrayed by the department. I feel betrayed by the mayor. I feel betrayed by the priorities of the city," the woke Ronen added.

But back in the day, you know, the day a thug named George Floyd tried to pass a counterfeit twenty at a store and ended up dead, partially due to the pharmacy he had going inside his system, and partly due to the cop who had his knee on his neck for over 8 minutes, was when Ronan sat back and watched her city and much of the Democrat-run cities, riot and burn. 

But it was mostly a peaceful riot and burning.

Back in 2020 Ronan wrote:

"I want to make it clear that I believe strongly in defunding the police and reducing the number of officers on our force. For decades we’ve had an imbalance in our city’s budget, with hundreds of millions of dollars going to SFPD to have them do work they are not qualified to do."

She believes strongly, that she needs to tell the public that she believes strongly in anything that keeps her in office. Other than that, she doesn't believe very strongly in anything else.

In 2020, Mayor London Breed redirected $120 million from law enforcement, which is just another way of saying defunding the police. Instead, she took the money to fund other city ventures, causing crime to explode in the city that year compared to 2019. Homicides increased by 17% in 2021 compared to the previous year. 

Even Paul Pelosi was attacked and assaulted more recently. It took cops several minutes to respond, which for important people is considered quite slow.

By December 2021, Breed, realizing she was a screwed up, made an emergency request to the Board of Supervisors to add more funds to the city's police department.

The SFPD has struggled due to the Democrat's policies which created a lack of staffing so bad that in February, cops took over 15 hours to respond to a 911 call regarding a burglary. It sure would have helped if it was Pelosi who got burgled.

Stacey Abrams was co-chair of org that awarded thousands to defund the cops

Georgia gubernatorial Democratic nominee and self-declared Georgia governor Stacey Abrams was a co-chair of a racial justice organization that greased the palms of activists whose goal was to defund and abolish the police.

Abrams was first announced as co-chair of the racist Black Voices for Black Justice Fund (BVBJ) in April 2021 and said in a press release that she was "excited" and "honored" to join the organization. She said it "puts Black leaders in the driver’s seat – with Black activists on the ground who understand how racism plays out in their community defining both the problem and the solutions." 

But the Black activists on the ground better stay out of the road when the Black activists in the driver's seat go driving by. 

The BVBJ gave out $20,000 awards to dozens of Black activists across the country to  "use in whatever way they believe, based on their lived experience, will do the most good advancing racial justice in their communities at this pivotal time," the organization said. 

Sharhonda Bossier, CEO of Education Leaders of Color (EdLoC) was awarded $20,000. Bossier had called for defunding the police during the mostly peaceful violent protests for thug George Floyd.

"It means nothing that these elected officials are expressing support for ‘peaceful protests,’" Bossier tweeted on May 30, 2020. "Their support doesn’t protect you. The police DGAF. The only support that matters is when they stand up to police unions, refuse to agree to contracts that provide more protections for police than the public they’re supposed to serve & defund the police/reallocate those resources. Demand action. Demand change."

"We can live in a country where the police do not kill people - especially children," Bossier tweeted in April 2021. "We spend SO MUCH money on officer training, etc. If we cannot expect that police can respond to incidents without killing people we should... DEFUND & ABOLISH THE POLICE."

Abolishing the police makes as much sense as screwing for abstinence. In both cases all that happens is you get screwed.

In May 2022, the BVBJ announced its fourth round of awardees, which included Kei Williams and William Jackson, among others.

Williams is a founding member of the Black Lives Matter Global Network, which repeatedly posted in favor of defunding and abolishing the police and prisons during the George Floyd unrest of 2020.

Jackson, another 2022 BVBJ awardee, founded the North Carolina-based nonprofit Village of Wisdom, which is aimed at helping Black students "navigate systemic racism," has also described himself as an abolitionist.

"I'm for abolishing police," Jackson tweeted in November 2020.

Yes, abolishing the police will help law abiding Black youth when the not-so law abiding youth shoot up the neighborhoods and crime, especially among the poor who cannot afford private security, surges.

"Stacey Abrams does not and never has supported defunding the police," Abrams campaign spokesman Michael Holloman lied in a statement Monday to Fox News Digital.

San Francisco defunded police: oops, the mayor does a double-reverse

Since the death of thug George Floyd in Minnesota and the following riots across the country that saw billions of dollars in damage and lives lost to BLM and Antifa, Democrat-run cities, and leftist politicians have called for the defunding of police departments at a time when police were needed the most.

San Francisco Mayor London Breed was one of the loudest and obnoxious voices to call for the defunding as she joined the cretin communists in a cry to divert funds from the police that summer until the proverbial poo hit the fan and she reversed course. She did so not because it was the proper course of action, but because it was politically to her advantage.

[H/T FOX News Digital]

"We will redirect $120 million from law enforcement to support these priorities over the next two years," Breed said in her announcement on July 31, 2020. In an attempt to sound Biden-like she said: "Let me repeat that. This is 120 million dollars." 

She spoke as if this was her plan all along, but some on the right side of the aisle saw the hypocrisy in her latest epiphany.

Breed's plan redirected $120 million in funds from both the police and sheriff’s departments in San Francisco over two years to fund initiatives for Black Americans in the burned out city. She had originally described the defunding as "a gesture of reparations for decades of city policymaking that have created or exacerbated deep inequities for San Francisco’s African American residents." [As opposed to policing those who were breaking the law.]

Along with Breed came others across the country who put the criminals ahead of the victims. Among them is Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) who supported calls from anarchists for funds to be taken from police departments to divest to other initiatives such as mental health and youth services.

Predictably, crime in San Francisco and the other Democratic-run cities soared. In San Francisco homicides increased by 20% in 2020 compared to 2019, and by another 17% in 2021 compared to 2020. Although rape and robbery decreased on 2020, burglaries shot up 47% that year when compared to the three previous years. Smash-and-grab crimes also climbed, especially in the holiday season and this carried into 2022.

Drug overdose accidental deaths also climbed in 2020 and that outpaced the COVID-19 deaths that year. San Francisco residents reported that their quality of life decreased that year as well. 

Data on homicides in San Francisco mirrored the national trend from 2020. Murders, according to FBI statistics, shot up by almost 30%, the largest single-year increase in killings since the FBI began tracking crimes.

"Certainly, the protests and riots mid-2020 after the death of George Floyd followed a pattern of spiking violence that we've seen following past viral police incidents, such as the deaths of Michael Brown and Freddie Gray. This pattern has been termed the ‘Ferguson Effect’: police pull back while violent crime spikes precipitously," Hannah Meyers, director of the policing and public safety initiative at the Manhattan Institute, told FOX News Digital earlier this year of the national murder increases in 2020.

Police departments became demoralized, understaffed and faced difficulty recruiting new officers. Law enforcement leaders pointed to the defund movement and anti-police sentiment as the cause for this dilemma. After all, who in their right mind would want to work at a job where you are hated and even targeted? 

This had become a national trend to the delight of the Left like Ilhan Omar and the so-called squad. Even Vice President Kamala Harris called for the defunding but now sings a different tune, pretending she never called for it in the first place.

The San Francisco Police Department has reported more of the same situation as the national trend. As of this month, the department is down about 300 officers, while in July alone, 50 cops left the department, with only eight to 10 recruits ready to fill their gumshoes. 

Between April 2020 and April 2021, resignations increased by 18% and retirements by 45%, Mission Local reported this year.

But in spite of their obvious incompetence and their leftist identity politics, people still vote for Democrats and believe the promises they make, which brings to mind an Albert Einstein quote: "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."

It's good to see that Mayor Breed has changed course, but look at how much damage was caused along the way.

UPDATE: More people killed in Chicago over weekend than last 2 years in Afghanistan war

Thirty-five people were shot, five of them fatally, over the Fourth of July weekend in Chicago. That's more people shot and killed in Chicago than our military troops the last 2 years in Afghanistan.

One fatal victim was a 24-year-old woman. She was killed Friday night during a shootout between two men in Chicago's Chinatown district, where one of the shooters and two others were wounded in the incident, according to ABC 7. The woman was taken to Stroger Hospital where she died of her injuries.

[H/T Fox News]

Four more were wounded on Friday night in West Garfield Park when a man opened fire on the group of people because he had a bad day.

A 30-year-old man was fatally shot in the head on the city's South Side early Saturday, with police saying they had no suspects in custody. 

A 90-year-old man suffered a gunshot wound to the abdomen and was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in critical condition. Cops have a person of interest in the shooting.

Useless Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot held a press conference to condemn the shootings and for once, expressed appreciation for the city's police officers, after she and dozens of Democratic mayors in major cities did what they could to defund the police.

"We need to remember every single day on every single watch, our brave men and women of the Chicago Police Department are out there literally risking their lives for our safety," two-faced Lightfoot said during a Friday press conference, reminding residents to "say thank you" to officers.

Chicago Police Department (CPD) Superintendent David Brown joined Lightfoot, and said the July 4 holiday would be a difficult weekend for police as city residents use gunfire in place of fireworks to celebrate the holiday.

"There's no reason why everyone can't enjoy the holiday and every event safety. Parents, please, please know where your children are," he said. "Don't leave them to government to be the parents of your kids. We need you, parents, please, to help us make sure your young people are safe."

The list of wounded and killed goes on as fatherless men lock and load.

And the idiots in power think more gun control is the answer.

UPDATE: The total number of casualties as of this writing 10:45 a.m., in Chicago is now up to 54 with 7 fatalities. The youngest is a 10-year-old boy who was in his bedroom when he was shot. Also, there have been attacks on police with fists and fireworks being aimed at police. It looks as if the Windy City really blows.

Alexandria Obviously-Commie demanded defunding transit cops--oops

With all the crime in New York above ground, the below ground criminals may have gotten jealous and have gone on a spree that is becoming a serious problem.

Just recently, a black man dressed in what appeared to be a transit worker's vest threw smoke canisters and then began randomly shooting people in a Brooklyn subway stop resulting in dozens of injuries and fortunately, no deaths. In days of yore, there were transit cops patrolling the trains and crime was down--thank you Rudi Giuliani. 

Then Rep. Alexandria Obviously-Commie (Democratic Socialist-NY) came along and in 2019 along with her equally ditzy colleagues and railed [no pun intended] against the presence of law enforcement and called for defunding the police. 

AOC doesn't ride the subway but her constituents do and they will still mindlessly vote for her, not for her policy ideas [which are stupid] but for her looks and her Instagram cooking and dancing shows. "Oh looo mama, she so cool."

Breitbart News tweeted about her and her sidekicks' brilliant idea:

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her progressive colleagues from New York argued against increasing the police presence in New York City’s subway system in a 2019 letter. https://t.co/6g9egsuHUj

— Breitbart News (@BreitbartNews)

This group of overachievers [aka Democrats] wrote a letter saying the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) shouldn't focus on security but on other issues because they see criminals as the victims and the actual victims as nothing special.

In the letter AOC and her fellow progressives sent to disgraced former governor Andrew Cuomo (D), and recommended the MTA not put money toward safety and security, but instead use it to invest in bus and subway services and maintenance to improve them. 

Obviously-Commie even shared a tweet, featuring the letter, to show her followers what she was trying to accomplish.

Punishing the poor does not create a safer environment. Instead it threatens the very foundation of our community. That is why my New York colleagues and I wrote a letter to @NYGovCuomo asking him to help put an end to MTA's dangerous policing policy. Check it out here: pic.twitter.com/g1AOWHA7Lh

— Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@RepAOC) December 17, 2019

By 'dangerous policing policy' AOC is referring to policing the subways to make them safe. But when cretins like AOC and her gal pals even view certain words as 'dangerous,' you cannot reason with them.

Several other low IQ Democrats, including Rep. Jerry "I Ate The Whole Thing" Nadler (D-NY), State Senators Jessica Ramos, Alessandra Biaggi, Michael Gianaris, Julia Salazar, Luis Sepulveda, and former Representative Jose Serrano, also signed the letter calling for the defunding of the police.

So crime rose and now they're scared or too stupid to be scared.

Due to their poverty of ideas, the letter alleged racial disparities in law enforcement at the same time they say that increasing police presence would only harm minorities. BECAUSE STATISTICALLY, THAT'S WHO TEND TO BREAK THE LAW AND END UP GETTING ARRESTED. IT'S DISPROPORTIONAL BUT A FACT.

Sad, but true.

Cori Bush, defund the police advocate, hired police as private security--guess what happened

Freshman Marxist Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) is a former Black Lives Matter riot enthusiast and strong advocate for the defund the police movement. Not surprisingly, the far-Left-lard-butt lunatic hired private security to protect herself because she claims that she's more important than regular folks, and she hired two sheriff's deputies to do the job.

By the way, let's stop calling that group of angry leftists, who blame America for everything bad, while praising communist countries and dictatorships, the "squad." That's much too cool for these anti-American scumwafers. Let's call them the "Economics 101 Dropouts" because they obviously know nothing about the subject. If you have another term you like, feel free to send it.

A recent report revealed the Economics 101 Dropout hired two deputies and spent tens of thousands of dollars while she was calling for the defunding [aka abolition] of law enforcement in order to facilitate the ability of the proletariat to confiscate "free stuff from 'the man'," and allow criminals to roam free.

Big Bush was caught with the deputies on surveillance camera footage while touring multiple St. Louis jails, News 4 reported.

The deputies, Tylance Jackson and Maurice Thompson, were terminated from the police department after the report was published. This was not their first rodeo working for Bush as St. Louis Sheriff Vernon Betts explained to News 4. Not only did the deputies get a warning about working for Bush multiple times before and were told not to do so and were given multiple warnings.

Sheriff Betts also noted that these former deputies did not have the proper licensing to work as security in St. Louis.

Jackson said he believed the firing was unfair but other than using the word 'plethora,' couldn't provide a reasonable explanation regarding his claim.

"I do feel that the hand that was dealt to us was unfair and unjust," Jackson said, using a gambling analogy the same way he took the gamble to work for Bush. "You let us go, but you still have a plethora of individuals doing that but you don't say anything."

An abundance of deputies doing the same thing? Who makes up this plethora? Name names.

Bush, for her part, said that she needs private security because she still has "too much work to do" in Congress, implying that the scope of her job is beyond her capabilities as it's 'too much.'

"They would rather I die?" Bush asked, using the left's favorite ploy that if you don't agree with her having private security then you want her to die. It's the same ploy that if you don't want your child to wear a mask for the 8-hour school day, that means you want children to die. If you don't believe in Black Lives Matter that means you hate black people.

Sadly, some people believe this twisted logic and semantic overload.

 "You would rather me die? Is that what you want to see?" Bush said. "You want to see me die? You know because that could be the alternative."

So does Bush want innocent people to die who would not have police protection, and cannot afford private security, if she had her way? Is she okay with people being killed in Democratic-run cities throughout the country because she wants to defund their police?

She can't have it both ways--using her logic, that's exactly what she's implying--she's just more important than you and me and the children being shot in Chicago. And worse, she would also take away your guns and the right to defend yourself once law enforcement is defunded.

Sorry Bush--all lives matter, and that is not a racist statement--black, white, brown, Asian, and yes, the unborn--they all matter.

Psaki claims GOP wants to "defund the police" after their slogan fails

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki is paid to lie and gaslight us on behalf of the Democratic Party. She actually attempted to claim Monday that it's Republicans who are calling for the defunding of the police. This comes after the 2020 "Defund the Police" rallying cry by progressive meatballs damaged the Democrats with independent and moderate voters with functional eyes and ears.

Republicans voted against Co-President House Plant's $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, which was signed in March, even though it included $350 billion for state and local governments that could be used for local police.

"Something one of the advisers said this weekend, Cedric Richmond, he said Republicans defunded the police by not supporting the American Rescue Plan," Fox News' Peter Doocy asked Jen Psaki on Monday. "But how is it that that is an argument to be made when the president never mentioned needing money for police to stop a crime wave when he was selling the American Rescue Plan?" [H/T Fox News]

"Well, the president did mention that the American Rescue Plan, the state and local funding, something that was supported by the president, a lot of Democrats who supported and voted for the bill, could help ensure local cops were kept on the beat in communities across the country. As you know, [it] didn't receive a single Republican vote. That funding has been used to keep cops on the beat," the ginger responded.

"At the time, it was sold that local police departments might have pandemic-related budget shortfalls, not we need to keep cops on the beat because there's a crime wave," Doocy said.

"I think that any local department would argue that keeping cops on the beat to keep communities safe when they had to, because of budget shortfalls, fire police is something that helped them address crime in their local communities," Psaki said, later adding that "it was a pretty good bill and piece of legislation."

Actually, it was a piece of something else.

Consider that every member of the so-called squad, [aka "The Anti-American Commie Coalition"] called to defund the police. They said the money could be better spent for other things in the community at a time when crime is spiking nationally.

Even President Biden has flip-flopped on his stance regarding defunding the police as the left anxiously tries to claim Republicans are calling for it. 

Co-President Kamala Harris wants us to "reimagine" public safety by putting more money into the community. So if you imagined more police and their resources don't add to public safety, you need to imagine again that it isn't true. Less police and better schools and money in the pockets of people who didn't work for it will decrease the dangers of thugs with illegal guns.

The left is counting on you to have a short memory or to be too stupid to believe what they said about defunding the police. Certainly Jen Psaki is counting on it.

Hopefully, independent and moderate voters will see through the gaslighting and put the adults back in charge of Congress next year. But don't count on it--you have to make the change, not the lady with 45 cats who lives down the street.

Car Mah? "Defund the Police" supporter gets his car stolen in broad daylight by children

Atlanta, GA -- They say that karma is a bitch, but that just gives female dogs a bad name. But karma was exactly what happened to Atlanta city councilman Antonio Brown on Wednesday.

Brown was at a ribbon-cutting ceremony around noon when about four children jumped into his car and gleefully took off, leaving him to wonder what the hell is going on?

"You don’t immediately think, ‘Oh, these kids are going to steal my car,’" Brown said, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The operant words for Brown are: 'You don't immediately think.'

Brown, who has a winning smile and no car, joined the city's mayoral race less than three weeks ago, is running on a campaign of "reimagining public safety," the newspaper reported.

Last year, when he still had a car, he voted in support of an ordinance to withhold $73 million from the budget of the Atlanta Police Department. The ordinance was narrowly voted down, proving not every progressive is totally oblivious to reality; just most of them.

Brown said the thieves jumped in his car Wednesday after he got out to speak with community leader Ben Norman. He mentioned that his white Mercedes-Benz coupe has keyless push-to-start ignition and he failed to realize it had been started by the kids as they drove off, hoping to travel to places near and far.

The councilman described the kids as being between ages 6 and 12, FOX 5 reported. It was likely that the 12-year-old was able to reach the gas pedal while the others had recently finished their toilet training.

"One kid was in the driver’s seat. Ben attempted to open the door to get him out of the car. He fought with Ben. I then engaged and tried to get him out of the car. The three other kids were trying to figure out how to get in the car or stay out of the car. He started to hit on the gas," Brown said.

Brown added that he held on to the car in an attempt to stop them and was dragged about a block down the road before letting go. 

It was like a comedy about a seedy politician who was the arch enemy of the local police and one day became the victim of a crime perpetrated by children.

"As he started to speed up, and I knew that if I had not let go, I knew I probably could have killed myself because he was going so fast, I would have started to tumble. And I would have hurt him," the councilman said, sounding a bit like Joe Biden. [How would his tumbling hurt the driver?]

"I'm trading this in for the real thing"

Brown doesn't plan on filing charges against the kids, who he says, reading their young minds, acted out of desperation. Atlanta's WSB-TV reported. 

"This is a generational poverty issue. These kids, it’s 12:30 in the afternoon. Why aren’t they in school? Why aren’t we enforcing systems to ensure that if they are not in school, they’re in recreational centers?" he asked naively. 

One possibility as to why they're not in school is the probability they come from fatherless homes with no supervision--just a guess.

Atlanta police, who were not defunded yet, are investigating.

By the way, Brown is under indictment on federal fraud charges related to alleged incidents that occurred several years prior to him winning the council seat in 2019, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. No wonder he wants to defund the police.

This perhaps also explains his Mercedes Benz. 

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot Determines Who Interviews Her Based On Race, Local Reporters Claim

Local media reporters in Chicago are alleging that Democrat Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is selecting who gets to do one-on-one interviews with her based on the race of the interviewer.

NBC 5 political reporter Mary Ann Ahern made the initial allegation on Twitter, writing: “As ⁦ @chicagosmayor ⁩ reaches her two year midway point as mayor, her spokeswoman says Lightfoot is granting 1 on 1 interviews – only to Black or Brown journalists.”

Chicago PBS news anchor Paris Schultz responded: “I was told the same thing.”


I was told the same thing.

Chicago PBS political reporter said that she could “confirm” what Ahern was alleging.


I can confirm, alderman

Lightfoot’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Daily Wire or Fox News.

Australian political commentator Rita Panahi responded to the allegations by writing on Twitter: “More ‘anti-racist’ racism. Almost amusing how regressive race-obsession is celebrated among the Left.”

“Racism in the name of wokeism is still racism,” another commentator said. Another added, “So wouldn’t that make her a racist?”

Progressive writer Zaid Jilani wrote: “Is she going to do some kinda DNA test to assure she upholds this rule?”

“It is unclear when such a practice was enacted and if it only applies to local reporters, particularly after her MSNBC appearance with Stephanie Ruhle on Monday,” Fox News reported. “During her MSNBC interview, Lightfoot told Ruhle she would ‘encourage’ Chicago residents to continue wearing masks despite the new CDC guidance allowing those with the coronavirus vaccine to go without them.”

“I know for me personally, I’m going to continue to wear a mask in public and I’m going to encourage others to do so,” Lightfoot told Ruhle. “We’ve got to make sure that people are continuing to follow the public health guidance that has gotten us this far, and masks, I think, are a big and important part of that.”

Lightfoot said on Tuesday afternoon that her decision to continue to encourage people to wear masks was not based on distrust of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

“But I think their guidance last week regarding masks has people confused…We need clarification,” Lightfoot said. “We still have a long way to go to hit the critical mass (of vaccinations) or herd immunity. I don’t want people to have false confidence.”

“To say, ‘If you’re vaccinated, you don’t have to wear a mask,’ that’s great. But what about all of the other people who are out there that aren’t vaccinated?” Lightfoot added. “There’s no way to know that. So I think for the time being, most people are gonna continue to wear masks outside of their homes.”

Atlanta 'defund the police' backer has car stolen -- by kids in broad daylight: reports

Biden's DOJ nominee supports ditching the police

"No justice, no police." That seems to be the cry from some on the Lunatic Left.

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) warned in a statement Thursday night that Vanita Gupta would make the country less safe for citizens and more safe for criminals based on her far-left policy of defunding the police.

“Vanita Gupta, President Biden’s nominee for Associate Attorney General, would make America less safe. She must be stopped,” Cotton tweeted on social media. “More than 83k Americans died from drug overdoses last year, but Gupta wants to ‘decriminalize’ possession of ALL drugs, even fentanyl. Opioids are already ravaging our communities—we shouldn’t give fentanyl, heroin, or cocaine dealers get-out-of-jail-free cards.”

“As recently as last summer, Vanita Gupta called to defund the police,” Cotton continued. “Her allies in the jailbreak industry—who are clamoring for access to the Biden DOJ—are now trying to deny what she said. But see for yourself where Vanita Gupta stands on defunding the police.”

Sen. Cotton included a statement that Gupta made to the U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary last summer. Her statements were made concurrent to the Antifa and BLM riots that were perpetrated across the country in the aftermath of the death of George Floyd, who likely died of a drug overdose while being arrested for a different crime.

Gupta said:

While front-end systems changes are important, it is also critical for state and local leaders to heed calls from Black Lives Matter and Movement for Black Lives activists to decrease police budgets and the scope, role, and responsibility of police in our lives. [My emphasis.]

As recently as last summer, Vanita Gupta called to defund the police. Her allies in the jailbreak industry—who are clamoring for access to the Biden DOJ—are now trying to deny what she said.

Cotton continued:

“No wonder Soros prosecutors like Chesa Boudin in San Francisco have endorsed Gupta. Gupta would promote their pro-crime agenda. Soros prosecutors caused a massive spike in crime in major cities across the country by refusing to prosecute criminals. Why would we trust their judgment for the Department of Justice? The Senate should be suspicious of anyone they endorse.”

The senator concluded by encouraging Biden to withdraw Gupta's nomination and select someone who would "uphold the law."

The Washington Free Beacon pointed out that there are potential conflicts of interest with Gupta’s nomination to a top DOJ spot, which she withheld from the U.S. Senate.

“Her father is Rajiv L. Gupta, a chemicals magnate turned Wall Street adviser and board member for Fortune 500 companies,” the report said. “Gupta made no mention of her father’s sprawling corporate network on a Senate Judiciary Committee questionnaire that asked her to identify prospective conflicts, despite the fact that the Justice Department has repeatedly sparred with her father’s businesses in recent years.”

Legal Newsline this week reported that Attorneys General from five states are urging Biden to withdraw Gupta's nomination for associate AG, which is the number three position at the DOJ.

“Ms. Gupta’s past comments and track record have demonstrated her disinterest in meaningful police reform in favor of destructive policies that would defund the police,” the AGs from Indiana, Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas wrote in a March 1 letter to the president. “ Her nomination will further divide our nation instead of implementing policies to protect our communities and support law enforcement.”

The letter said that while some of Gupta’s backers claim she supports police, past comments show that she actually supports defunding the police.

“In fact, she wants to get away from a ‘policing approach’ and has urged Congress to ‘redirect government dollars away from policing practices rooted in the criminal-legal system,’ the AGs wrote. “Calling on Congress to shift resources from police to other priorities is a call for defunding the police, and that is not something Americans support. This is a time when our local law enforcement agencies need additional resources, not fewer.”

The Federalist reported that in September Gupta’s interest group, the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, urged Congress to “redirect government dollars away from policing practices rooted in the criminal-legal system and carceral state and toward practices that reflect a vision of public safety that promotes community health and rebuilds trust.”

Yes, one can safely say that "redirecting" government money away from "policing practices" is the same thing as defunding the police. If you remove my wallet from my back pocket and redirect my money from it, you've defunded me, even if you used that money to buy something for your momma.

In March 2019, Gupta's organization published a 416-page report calling to remove police in all schools, and advocated for “community policing” over “real” policing measures carried out by trained law enforcement.

“Police officers should have no role in student disciplinary matters,” the report posits. “Even leaders who express a commitment to community policing sometimes view it as separate and distinct from ‘real’ law enforcement. Some delegate the task of cultivating community relationships to a handful of officers and assign others to patrolling streets and responding to calls.”

Of course, it all becomes "real" law enforcement the moment the law is broken and violence begins.

While I don't know this as fact and I'm just spitballing, I suspect Gupta's two sons, if they are of school-age, attend private schools with good security. If you know this as fact, or that I'm mistaken, please feel free to comment.

Cop buys groceries for alleged shoplifters

Somerset, MA -- a cop bought groceries for two women who were accused of shoplifting five days before the celebration of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth. 

Police officer Matthew Lima was dispatched to a Stop & Shop grocery store, where two women with their youngsters were being detained for not scanning all of their groceries in the self-checkout aisle,  according to the Somerset Police Department.

"The two children with the women reminded me of my kids, so I had to help them out," Lima said in a  statement Tuesday.

When officer Lima arrived at the Stop & Shop, he spoke with one of the women accused of shoplifting and learned that they had fallen on hard times and did not have enough money to purchase an entire Christmas dinner.

"The woman I talked to, she explained she was working, but the mother of the children was not working and had some other family issues going on and that what she had taken was Christmas dinner for the kids," Lima told local news outlet WJAR.

Lima checked their receipts and saw they had only purchased food.

Store employees asked the two women to return the items they did not scan back onto the shelves and issued them a "Notice Not to Trespass" order. 

Lima, who has two young daughters himself, decided to help the two women. Rather than booking them for shoplifting, he bought them a $250 gift card to cover the full cost of their groceries. 

I have no proof, and I could be mistaken, but I somehow believe that Lima is not a socialist and may even be a Trump supporter.

"Obviously, this family was in need, and I can't imagine having to make the decision to go to Stop & Shop and just only pay for what I can afford -- or do I go there and try to take things for Christmas dinner for the kids?" Lima told station.

He added that the women were "very thankful" and "kind of shocked." It's unknown whether or not they were on the "defund the police" bandwagon prior to this incident, but it's unlikely they are after this incident.

"I just did what I felt was right. It's not about me, I just tried to put myself in that family's shoes and show a little bit of empathy," Officer Lima told WJAR.

The incident was "a true testament of Officer Lima’s great character and decision making," Somerset Police Chief George McNeil said in a statement.

"I would like to personally commend Officer Lima for his actions," McNeil said. "His actions exemplify what it means to protect and serve the members of our community. When faced with a difficult situation in which a family was trying to provide a meal for their kids, he made the generous decision to not press charges and instead ensured that they would have a Christmas dinner they could enjoy."

Democrats are still calling to defund the police, confiscate legal guns, and close down the prisons. 

What could go wrong?

Happy New Year to all!
