In a bizarre and disturbing message late Tuesday night, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, who is already under public scrutiny, warned Jewish New Yorkers to stop gathering due to coronavirus guidelines.
Not taking into account the Constitution and its principles regarding religious liberties, de Blasio seems to think he’s the high court of New York, making up legislation and throwing away constitutional rights at his whim.
He also clearly didn’t take into account the history of anti-Semitism and the dangerous language he used that sounded rather, to put it mildly, authoritarian.
My message to the Jewish community, and all communities, is this simple: the time for warnings has passed. I have instructed the NYPD to proceed immediately to summons or even arrest those who gather in large groups. This is about stopping this disease and saving lives. Period. — Mayor Bill de Blasio (@NYCMayor) April 29, 2020
In his typical foot-in-mouth fashion, Mayor de Blasio tried to patch things up in a second, related message on his Twitter account that missed the mark, trying to spin his horrible remarks into a battle-cry to save lives:
We have lost so many these last two months + I understand the instinct to gather to mourn. But large gatherings will only lead to more deaths + more families in mourning. We will not allow this. I have instructed the NYPD to have one standard for this whole city: zero tolerance. — Mayor Bill de Blasio (@NYCMayor) April 29, 2020
Let me make this clear. For de Blasio, this is not about saving lives, this is about being in control. The NYC mayor heard that a group of people (he mustn’t respect very much) were gathering for a funeral and he got angry. How dare they not obey me! Democrats love a good crisis when it gives them power.
A real leader could have taken action to disperse the crowd if necessary, and could have easily done so with a shred of decency and respect. Grocery stores are full. How about we have a logical, science-based discussion about religious gatherings, funerals, and other important services.
As political commentator and talk show host Dave Rubin aptly puts it, de Blasio is a lunatic:
You’re an awful human being. And for the record I was ahead of the curve on it. Also, my sister and her family just moved out of what was once the greatest city in the world. Mazel tov. (Thats Jew talk.) pic.twitter.com/o7XLR7YBSc — Dave Rubin (@RubinReport) April 29, 2020
Mayor Bill de Blasio would do himself a favor to leave the hissy fits off of Twitter.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-04-29--Hollywood Stars Lose Their Minds Over VP Mike Pence Not Wearing Mask During Mayo Clinic Visit

The liberal elites of Hollywood went into full meltdown mode once again after Vice President Mike Pence did not wear a face mask while visiting the Mayo Clinic on Tuesday to thank healthcare workers for all that they ’ re doing and to learn more about a new coronavirus testing initiative .
Pence toured the Mayo Clinic in an attempt to shine light on the new testing efforts of the famous hospital amidst the COVID-19 pandemic .
The facility has teamed up with the University of Minnesota and the state to increase Minnesota ’ s capacity to 20,000 tests a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hollywood stars , however , completely ignored all of these positives in favor of allowing them to be overshadowed by backlash over Pence not wearing a mask .
While the clinic has a policy in place calling on visitors to wear masks , Pence explained to reporters that he is tested regularly and does not have the coronavirus , according to Breitbart News .
Of course , this did nothing to stop Hollywood stars from grabbing their pitchforks and attacking Pence with everything they have .
“ Pence was warned to wear a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Clinic and refused , ” actress and singer Barbra Streisand tweeted .
“ Do he and Trump think they ’ re invincible or is Pence afraid of Trump ?
What terrible role models for our nation.
” Hollywood filmmaker Judd Apatow was also enraged , questioning , “ What person sees this and isn ’ t disgusted ?

Comedian Billy Eichner kept things simple by talking about the amount of “ hate ” he has for Pence , and seemingly for the rest of “ these people ” in Donald Trump ’ s administration .
“ Star Trek ” star George Takei took this opportunity to make what appears to be a bizarre sexual joke .
Finally , actress Mia Farrow tweeted ( then deleted ) the false claim that Pence had forced the Mayo Clinic to delete an earlier post about wearing masks .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ VP Pence made the Mayo delete their tweet saying that the ‘ Mayo Clinic had informed @ VP of their masking policy prior to his arrival , ' ” she wrote , pushing the unsubstantiated claim .

thepoliticalinsider--2020-04-29--Liberal Media Smears Keep Coming – President Trump Keeps Honoring His Oath

No politician in America has faced more unjustified criticism from the liberal-dominated “ mainstream ” media than President Donald Trump .
But despite enduring a constant barrage of smears , baseless attacks , and blatant lies from the moment he entered the political arena , our president has never wavered .
According to the newly-disclosed footnotes from the Justice Department ’ s report on the FBI surveillance of the Trump campaign in 2016 , the infamous Steele dossier —a document that was at the heart of the manufactured Russia collusion narrative— contained…Russian disinformation .
To make matters worse , some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s ties to Russian oligarchs , but those concerns were never shared with the unit that was assigned to investigate Donald Trump ’ s associates .
It turns out that President Trump was right all along—there was a “ witch hunt ” conducted against him , both before and after the 2016 election .
But you will never hear an apology from the liberal media who treated the Steele Dossier as the sacred scripture of the anti-Trump # resistance .
And worse , we now know , because of the # resistance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , there is danger of permanent erosion of civil liberties and due process for all Americans .
What is truly remarkable is that President Trump never allowed the mainstream media to distract him from accomplishing his policy objectives , no matter how preposterous their smears became over time .
During his first year in office , the president passed historic tax cuts , saving American workers an average of $ 1,400 on their annual federal income taxes .
The following year , he signed the most extensive bipartisan prison reform legislation in U.S. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Even the hyper-partisan Democrat impeachment campaign didn ’ t stop the president from fighting for American workers—Donald Trump whipped up bipartisan support for his groundbreaking United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement so effectively that it passed with negligible opposition just one day after the House of Representatives approved articles of impeachment without a single Republican vote .
That ’ s not even close to being an exhaustive list of this president ’ s extensive record of promises kept—his administration has also secured the border , deregulated the economy , fixed the VA , appointed reliably conservative @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rest of the federal judiciary , and much more .
Throughout it all , he has had to aggressively defend his integrity in the public square , relentlessly pushing back against the fake news media ’ s assault on the truth .
We ’ ve have never seen a man who is as patient , determined , and focused under fire as President Trump—and that is exactly the kind of leadership that our country needs more than ever right now .
The sad thing is , our president probably could have achieved even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ didn ’ t have to deal with the slings and arrows of partisan media outlets .
Liberal journalists have launched brand new attacks , often using Orwellian doublespeak , against the White House in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic , treating this once-in-a-lifetime public health crisis as just another opportunity to advance their biased narrative in preparation for the November elections .
Their fabricated storyline is predictable and unimaginative , baselessly claiming the White House botched its response to the coronavirus outbreak , and the Trump administration is still not doing enough @ @ @ @ @ @ @ disease .
The facts are clear and immutable .
The White House acted swiftly and responsibly .
No matter how hard the media try , they will never be able to change history .

No politician in America has faced more unjustified criticism from the liberal-dominated “mainstream” media than President Donald Trump. But despite enduring a constant barrage of smears, baseless attacks, and blatant lies from the moment he entered the political arena, our president has never wavered.
According to the newly-disclosed footnotes from the Justice Department’s report on the FBI surveillance of the Trump campaign in 2016, the infamous Steele dossier —a document that was at the heart of the manufactured Russia collusion narrative— contained…Russian disinformation. To make matters worse, some FBI officials were concerned about the author’s ties to Russian oligarchs, but those concerns were never shared with the unit that was assigned to investigate Donald Trump’s associates.
It turns out that President Trump was right all along—there was a “witch hunt” conducted against him, both before and after the 2016 election. But you will never hear an apology from the liberal media who treated the Steele Dossier as the sacred scripture of the anti-Trump #resistance. And worse, we now know, because of the #resistance and their push of the false narratives, there is danger of permanent erosion of civil liberties and due process for all Americans.
What is truly remarkable is that President Trump never allowed the mainstream media to distract him from accomplishing his policy objectives, no matter how preposterous their smears became over time.
During his first year in office, the president passed historic tax cuts, saving American workers an average of $1,400 on their annual federal income taxes. The following year, he signed the most extensive bipartisan prison reform legislation in U.S. history, the FIRST STEP Act. Even the hyper-partisan Democrat impeachment campaign didn’t stop the president from fighting for American workers—Donald Trump whipped up bipartisan support for his groundbreaking United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement so effectively that it passed with negligible opposition just one day after the House of Representatives approved articles of impeachment without a single Republican vote.
That’s not even close to being an exhaustive list of this president’s extensive record of promises kept—his administration has also secured the border, deregulated the economy, fixed the VA, appointed reliably conservative justices to the Supreme Court and the rest of the federal judiciary, and much more. Throughout it all, he has had to aggressively defend his integrity in the public square, relentlessly pushing back against the fake news media’s assault on the truth.
We’ve have never seen a man who is as patient, determined, and focused under fire as President Trump—and that is exactly the kind of leadership that our country needs more than ever right now.
The sad thing is, our president probably could have achieved even greater things for the country if he didn’t have to deal with the slings and arrows of partisan media outlets. Liberal journalists have launched brand new attacks, often using Orwellian doublespeak, against the White House in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, treating this once-in-a-lifetime public health crisis as just another opportunity to advance their biased narrative in preparation for the November elections.
Their fabricated storyline is predictable and unimaginative, baselessly claiming the White House botched its response to the coronavirus outbreak, and the Trump administration is still not doing enough to curb the spread of the deadly disease.
The facts are clear and immutable. The White House acted swiftly and responsibly.
No matter how hard the media try, they will never be able to change history. The United States was one of the first countries in the world to implement robust international travel restrictions on coronavirus hot spots—something liberals excoriated President Trump for doing at the time.
While House Speaker Nancy Pelosi contemplated legislation called the “NO BAN” Act to keep borders open as vectors of infection, the president acted to protect the American people by shutting down travel from China and eventually with the EU, Africa, the Middle East and the United Kingdom.
While the Democrats paraded the ever more troubling incompetence of their presidential candidates during their January 29, February 7 and February 19 debates — where there was not a single mention of the Wuhan Coronavirus — the White House was establishing and coordinating a whole-of-government response integrating critical private/industrial sector support, moving material and personnel to meet the challenge head on.
Most significant, contrary to initial projections, our country has avoided a shortage of life-saving ventilators thanks to the president’s effective collaboration with the private sector, and the number of COVID-19 deaths is now expected to be much lower than public health experts first anticipated. And through it all, the Trump administration has made it a priority to support the millions of working families who have been impacted by the current economic lockdown.
Further, the president’s fundamental belief that America must increase manufacturing and self-reliance (especially in critical national security and medical sectors) to preclude foreign reliance during a national crisis has been proven correct, and must be a priority going forward into 2021.
The liberal media have thrown everything in their arsenal at Donald Trump, but they’ve never been able to distract him from fulfilling his obligation to the American people before. The president certainly isn’t going to flinch now as they try to distract him from the most important work of his entire presidency.

Grateful South Dakota Citizens Throw Parade For Gov. Kristi Noem After She Refused To Shut Down Their State

South Dakota Gov .
Kristi Noem ( R ) has been under fire for weeks from the media and deranged leftists all over the country for refusing to issue a state lockdown amidst the COVID-19 crisis .
That ’ s why the people of South Dakota decided to come together on Monday to show her how grateful they really are for standing strong and refusing to buckle to liberal pressure to close their state .
Video posted to her Twitter feed shows Noem being both surprised and visibly touched by the parade , which was carried out while adhering to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with Noem walking outside as emergency sirens blare from a caravan of vehicles that include firetrucks , a pickup , a stock trailer , construction vehicles , and a concrete truck .
As the vehicles revved their engines and honked their horns , the person holding the camera tells a shocked Noem , “ It ’ s a parade for you .
Wave to ’ em !
” Noem then waves over and over as she walks around taking in the scene .
She then puts her hand to her mouth , visibly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for her .
“ I am so blessed to serve the people of the great State of South Dakota .
You folks made my day !
” she tweeted alongside the video .
Noem is among a minority of government leaders in the United States who refused to put the state on lockdown due to COVID-19 .
“ Our Constitution ensures that the citizen ’ s right is protected , ” Noem explained earlier this month , according to The Daily Wire .
“ I agree with the role of our government as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our national Constitution .
I took an oath to uphold these constitutions .
My role with respect to public safety is something I take very seriously.
” “ The people themselves are primarily responsible for their safety , ” she added .

Stacey Abrams Is So Desperate to Be Vice President That She’s Attacking Biden’s Sexual Assault Accuser

Stacey Abrams is parroting a line of defense put out by Joe Biden ’ s campaign to discredit his sexual assault accuser , Tara Reade .
During an interview with CNN Tuesday night , Abrams , who has practically been begging to be selected as Biden ’ s running mate , echoed campaign talking points in her attack .
“ The New York Times did a deep investigation and they found that the accusation was not credible , ” Abrams said .
“ I believe Joe Biden … I know Joe Biden and I think he ’ s telling the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Reade made her accusation during a podcast back in March .
“ His hands were on me and underneath my clothes , ” she recalled , claiming that when the assault was over Biden said , “ C ’ mon man , I heard you liked me.
” Reade filed a criminal complaint with the sexual assault unit of the Washington , DC , Metropolitan Police Department , earlier this month .
There are a few holes , to say the least , in Abrams argument that the New York Times “ deep @ @ @ @ @ @ @ case : • There are , in the end , likely only two people who know the whole truth of the matter – Biden and Reade .
• The Times did not say the accusation “ was not credible , ” instead reporting that they were unable to find a “ pattern of sexual misconduct.
” • Consider the source – The Times also altered the report when Biden ’ s campaign complained and eliminated the remainder of the sentence which originally claimed : There was “ no pattern of sexual misconduct by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ touching that women previously said made them uncomfortable.
” • Since that “ deep investigation ” by the Times , a video has surfaced of her Reade ’ s mother calling into “ Larry King Live ” and discussing her daughter ’ s “ problems ” getting anyone to listen to complaints involving a prominent senator .
• Two women have also said the story matches what they were told by Reade years ago .
It seems relevant to a “ deep investigation.
” Abrams has been desperately auditioning to be Biden ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her comments show she is willingly parroting the campaign as a means to impress .
Biden ’ s team advised surrogates earlier this month to say flat-out that the allegation “ did not happen.
” “ Biden believes that all women have the right to be heard and to have their claims thoroughly reviewed .
In this case , a thorough review by the New York Times has led to the truth : this incident did not happen , ” the talking points read , according to Buzzfeed News .
Almost word-for-word , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
By contrast , in 2018 Abrams said of the specious allegations made by Christine Blasey Ford against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh : Abrams clearly is not supporting Reade or letting her voice be heard , does not care that Biden ’ s nomination is going forward without a thorough investigation , and is willing to peddle lies to get ahead .
Her integrity is about as real as her reign as governor of Georgia .

Holes In Abrams Argument
There are a few holes, to say the least, in Abrams argument that the New York Times “deep investigation” is an open and shut case:
There are, in the end, likely only two people who know the whole truth of the matter – Biden and Reade.
The Times did not say the accusation “was not credible,” instead reporting that they were unable to find a “pattern of sexual misconduct.”
Consider the source – The Times also altered the report when Biden’s campaign complained and eliminated the remainder of the sentence which originally claimed: There was “no pattern of sexual misconduct by Biden, beyond hugs, kisses and touching that women previously said made them uncomfortable.”
Since that “deep investigation” by the Times, a video has surfaced of her Reade’s mother calling into “Larry King Live” and discussing her daughter’s “problems” getting anyone to listen to complaints involving a prominent senator.
Two women have also said the story matches what they were told by Reade years ago. It seems relevant to a “deep investigation.”

Desperate For Attention
Abrams has been desperately auditioning to be Biden’s choice for Vice President, and her comments show she is willingly parroting the campaign as a means to impress.
Biden’s team advised surrogates earlier this month to say flat-out that the allegation “did not happen.”
“Biden believes that all women have the right to be heard and to have their claims thoroughly reviewed. In this case, a thorough review by the New York Times has led to the truth: this incident did not happen,” the talking points read, according to Buzzfeed News.
Almost word-for-word, Abrams has attacked Reade as a liar.
By contrast, in 2018 Abrams said of the specious allegations made by Christine Blasey Ford against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh:
After the courageous and compelling testimony from Dr. Christine Blasey Ford yesterday, it is shameful that Kavanaugh’s nomination is being rushed forward. I believe women, and I believe survivors of violence always deserve to be supported and to have their voices heard.
Abrams clearly is not supporting Reade or letting her voice be heard, does not care that Biden’s nomination is going forward without a thorough investigation, and is willing to peddle lies to get ahead.
Her integrity is about as real as her reign as governor of Georgia.

Trump Snaps At Reporter Who Tries To Corner Him With False Data: ‘Nobody Knows Who The Hell You Are!’

A Yahoo News reporter was on the receiving end of a verbal tongue-lashing when he tried to corner the President with false data about coronavirus testing .
President Donald Trump and Dr. Deborah Birx held a joint news conference alongside Florida governor Ron DeSantis when the reporter , Hunter Walker , decided to get confrontational .
“ Overall , South Korea has done five times more tests than the U.S. per capita , ” Walker asked .
“ Why is that ?

They are moving to make their takeover complete by making it official: They have formed a super PAC to compel the Biden campaign toe the ideological line.
A super PAC is a political group that can raise unlimited sums from all sources but legally can’t (ha!) coordinate with the actual campaign they support. That regulation is honored more in the breach than in the observance.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-04-29--Democrat Congressman Thinks Abrams Goes Too Far In Veep Hunger

Failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams recently said on The View , “ I think Vice President Biden is going to make a smart choice , and I appreciate the fact that he has lifted up women as being a necessary partner in this .
I would share your concern about not picking a woman of color ( for vice-president ) because women of color , particularly black women , are the strongest part of the Democratic Party.
” In the veep context , she is likely referring to herself .
Well , such obvious shilling does not sit well @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , donors , and the Biden campaign .
They realize that choosing Abrams would be electoral suicide in the fall election .
Not because she is a woman .
Not because she is black .
But because she is a blithering idiot .
As such , a loyal Democrat apparatchik was deployed to rain on her parade .
Rep. William Lacy Clay , Jr. of Missouri was probably chosen to deliver the message to Abrams because he is black and thus inoculates the Biden campaign from race hustler charges of bigotry .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ somewhat offensive to me , is when you are marketing yourself as a VP candidate , ” Clay said on a recent podcast .
“ For you to be out there marketing and putting on a PR campaign that way , I think it ’ s inappropriate…You know , at the race track , you can not show up at the winner ’ s window with loser ’ s tickets .
You haven ’ t won anything .
You can ’ t show up at the winner ’ s window with loser ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ man has a point .
Abrams brings nothing to the table besides her self-promotion , her gender , and her race .
Sadly , in a party that has jettisoned merit and replaced it with sexism and racism , she will get a hearing .
But , as Clay ’ s broadside shows , she should not confuse a hearing with a nod .

Failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams recently said on The View, “I think Vice President Biden is going to make a smart choice, and I appreciate the fact that he has lifted up women as being a necessary partner in this. I would share your concern about not picking a woman of color (for vice-president) because women of color, particularly black women, are the strongest part of the Democratic Party.”
In the veep context, she is likely referring to herself. Well, such obvious shilling does not sit well with the Democrat party, Democrat pros, donors, and the Biden campaign. They realize that choosing Abrams would be electoral suicide in the fall election. Not because she is a woman. Not because she is black. But because she is a blithering idiot.
As such, a loyal Democrat apparatchik was deployed to rain on her parade. Rep. William Lacy Clay, Jr. of Missouri was probably chosen to deliver the message to Abrams because he is black and thus inoculates the Biden campaign from race hustler charges of bigotry.
“I’ll tell you what is somewhat offensive to me, is when you are marketing yourself as a VP candidate,” Clay said on a recent podcast. “For you to be out there marketing and putting on a PR campaign that way, I think it’s inappropriate…You know, at the race track, you cannot show up at the winner’s window with loser’s tickets. You haven’t won anything. You can’t show up at the winner’s window with loser’s tickets and demand anything.”
The man has a point. Abrams brings nothing to the table besides her self-promotion, her gender, and her race. Sadly, in a party that has jettisoned merit and replaced it with sexism and racism, she will get a hearing. But, as Clay’s broadside shows, she should not confuse a hearing with a nod. Kamala Harris or Michelle Lujan Grisham, call your office.

President Trump Confronts CNN’s Jim Acosta: Your Network ‘Tormented’ General Flynn – I Hope You Report His ‘Total Exoneration’

He has pled guilty to those lies .
It is a shame because his actions during the transition were lawful .
There was nothing to hide !

Chokwe Lumumba , the mayor of Jackson , Mississippi , is facing a lawsuit for putting a total ban on the open carry of firearms during the coronavirus pandemic .
Mississippi AG : “ The Right To Keep And Bear Arms Is A Natural Right ” Following a declaration of a state of emergency by BLANK , the Governor of Mississippi , Mayor Lumumba declared that this gave him the right to ban the open carry of firearms in Jackson .
However , Lumumba was warned by Lynn Fitch , the Attorney General of Mississippi , in a letter that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Governor ’ s Proclamation does not authorize you to suspend the right to open carry , or any other statute or constitutional provision governing firearm possession , ” Lynn wrote in the letter .
“ While the Order seeks to suspend the ‘ open carry of firearms , ’ it does not identify any specific statute or statutes that it seeks to suspend .
The right to keep and bear arms is a natural right , enshrined in the Constitutions of the United States and the State of Mississippi.
” The Attorney @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the order , however , he refused .
‘ A Serious Pandemic Is Not An Opportunity For Unconstitutional Virtue Signalling ’ On Tuesday , after Lumumba did not reverse the order , a lawsuit was filed in federal court by the Mississippi Justice Institute on the behalf of State Representative Dana Chriswell .
“ A serious pandemic is not an opportunity for unconstitutional virtue signaling by grandstanding politicians , ” argued Aaron Rice , the Director of the Mississippi Justice Institute .
“ Mayor Lumumba has exploited the present public health crisis as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who are exercising their constitutional rights.
” Chriswell herself said that she was “ shocked ” by Lumumba ’ s announcement .
“ I take the protection of myself and my family very seriously and believe deeply in the constitutional right to keep and bear arms , ” Chriswell added , arguing that , “ the mayor ’ s attempt to disarm me and deny me the ability of self-defense puts me and my family in danger anytime we are in Jackson.
” The lawsuit seems likely to have the backing of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ state .
I , for one , hope it succeeds , as those who try and crush the Second Amendment in times of crisis need to be shown that they can not get away with their unconstitutional regulations .
