thepoliticalinsider--2020-04-28--Democrats And China Virtually Working Together To Defeat President Trump

A vote for Biden is a vote for China ?
The GOP may not be that blatant in the fall .
But the presidential campaign narratives are coming down to two options : Do you believe the Chinese and the Democrats that the coronavirus outbreak in America was made worse by the incompetence of Donald Trump ( both groups are using that as their main message right now and will probably continue it into the fall ) , or do you believe Donald Trump that the Chinese are largely to blame for the virus hitting America as badly as it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ again at his Monday press conference .
While the Democrats are extremely unlikely to make an open alliance with the communist Chinese , they may work by the old adage that my enemy ’ s enemy is my friend .
It wouldn ’ t be the first time they would conspire with communists to defeat an American president .
LifeZette recently posted an article by this analyst on a famous Democrat , Alger Hiss , who was working for Soviet Intelligence while working in both the F.D .
Roosevelt and Truman Democrat administrations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Senator Ted Kennedy , Democrat of Massachusetts , in 1983 secretly implored the help of the Soviets in defeating the reelection of GOP President Ronald Reagan , dispatching fellow Senator John Tunney ( D-CA ) to Moscow to relay the plea .
KGB archives confirm the incident .
Brit Hume of Fox News agrees on the Chinese/Democrat connection , saying , “ I think it comes down to…whether people end up believing that Trump lied and people died or more people believe China lied and people died… It just depends on which narrative @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they ’ re going to continue to say that he [ Trump ] was responsible.
” So will China .
Thus they are at least acting with the same message as the Democrats , if not much more deeply involved with them .

Attorney General William Barr is following through on his warning that he’d be looking at whether state or local governments have been infringing on their constituents’ fundamental and constitutional rights.
On Monday, Barr ordered federal prosecutors with the Department of Justice (DOJ) to start taking action against localities that are infringing on American’s civil liberties in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
It is a welcome sign of sanity in a sea of over-reaction.
The Memo
A memo to U.S. attorneys directs them to be on the lookout for any state or local ordinance that “crosses the line from an appropriate exercise of authority to stop the spread of COVID-19 into an overbearing infringement of constitutional and statutory protections.”
Those infringements, it reads, will be addressed in federal court.
Barr didn’t restrict this action to religious entities, something he has warned governors against targeting in the past.
“The legal restrictions on state and local authority are not limited to discrimination against religious institutions and religious believers,” hew rote.
“For example, the Constitution also forbids, in certain circumstances, discrimination against disfavored speech and undue interference with the national economy.”

“He wants to make sure people have their rights and they maintain their rights.”

Americans have a right to earn a living and feed their family.
So, while somebody like New York governor Andrew Cuomo is mocking people out of work by saying, “You want to go to work? Go take a job as an essential worker,” the AG is operating with guidance through the Commerce Clause of the Constitution.

“ She ’ s out of touch to tell people who are desperate for food that they shouldn ’ t go back to work .
How out of touch can you be ?
” RELATED : AOC Only House Democrat To Vote Against Funding American Businesses , Hospitals Remarkable as it may seem , Caruso-Cabrera is correct – AOC did tell people they should refuse to go back to work .
While most of the nation is clamoring to get back to their jobs , she urged Americans to boycott @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ When we have this discussion about going back or reopening , I think a lot people should just say ‘ no ’ - we ’ re not going back to that , ” she suggested .
AOC wants you to struggle .
She wants businesses to fail because she thinks they ’ re owned by greedy people .
And , like any good socialist , she wants the economy to collapse allowing for a complete government takeover .
“ Always dividing , never uniting , ” Caruso-Cabrera wrote .
“ [ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” RELATED : AOC Tells Struggling Americans They Should Refuse To Go Back To Work Even the socialist-friendly New York Daily News could not sympathize with AOC over her ‘ no ’ vote , calling her an “ Enemy of the Good.
” They blasted Ocasio-Cortez , calling her lone dissenting vote “ terribly wrong ” and “ not the kind of distinction a rising star legislator should be proud of.
” The News argued against AOC ’ s constant complaints that legislation or action in Congress isn ’ t as extreme as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Yeah : The first aid bill didn ’ t go far enough , ” the editorial reads .
“ Nor did the second .

Remarkable as it may seem, Caruso-Cabrera is correct – AOC did tell people they should refuse to go back to work.
While most of the nation is clamoring to get back to their jobs, she urged Americans to boycott their employers when the coronavirus crisis clears.
“When we have this discussion about going back or reopening, I think a lot people should just say ‘no’- we’re not going back to that,” she suggested.
AOC wants you to struggle. She wants businesses to fail because she thinks they’re owned by greedy people. And, like any good socialist, she wants the economy to collapse allowing for a complete government takeover.
“Always dividing, never uniting,” Caruso-Cabrera wrote. “[AOC] is wrong for the times.”
.@AOC statements are focused on bolstering her celebrity status. Meantime she abandons the working people of the Bronx & Queens. NYers have lost their livelihoods & confidence in govt. She is wrong for NY & wrong for the times. #ny14 @msnbc @maddow @MaddowBlog pic.twitter.com/JgeqmhvKG4 — Michelle Caruso-Cabrera (@MCaruso_Cabrera) April 22, 2020

Liberal Newspaper Whacks Her
Even the socialist-friendly New York Daily News could not sympathize with AOC over her ‘no’ vote, calling her an “Enemy of the Good.”
They blasted Ocasio-Cortez, calling her lone dissenting vote “terribly wrong” and “not the kind of distinction a rising star legislator should be proud of.”

The News argued against AOC’s constant complaints that legislation or action in Congress isn’t as extreme as she thinks it should be.
“Yeah: The first aid bill didn’t go far enough,” the editorial reads. “Nor did the second. Nor did the third. The fourth didn’t get there either, but the response to crises happen in steps.”
“If everyone said no to each massive package because it didn’t go all the way, we’d all be even deader in the water.”

Tim Robbins Launches Vile Attack On America: Calls Nation A ‘Death Cult Run By Sociopaths And Fueled By Racist Self-Interested Citizens’

Hollywood star Tim Robbins launched a truly vile attack on the United States as he went after the American people and the nation as a whole .
Robbins of “ The Shawshank Redemption ” fame unraveled over the news that states across America , including three run by Democrat governors , are going to gradually start reopening this week after weeks of lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic .
“ My heart hurts .
This is an outrage .
But hey , reopen the economy because I need poor people to cut my hair , cut my nails , watch @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Robbins wrote in a tweet that has since been deleted , according to Breitbart News .
“ We have become a death cult run by sociopaths [ and ] fueled by racist self-interested citizens with no sense of shared responsibility.

Trump has been an outspoken supporter of the country reopening as soon as possible , which is also undauntedly why Robbins is so against this happening .

thepoliticalinsider--2020-04-29--Democrats Refuse To Disavow Anti-Semitic Candidates

One of the most disgusting parts of the modern Democrat agenda is their toleration of hate-filled anti-Semites in their party .
Along with the rest of the hard-left agenda , a loathing for Israel , an oasis of democracy in a sea of authoritarian regimes , has taken its place in their long lamentable list of pathologies .
The Washington Free Beacon reports that Linda Sarsour , a venomous wretch of anti-American and anti-Western bile , is actively working with other Democrats to defeat a Democrat who swims against the prog tide when it comes to Israel .
But national @ @ @ @ @ @ @ little more .
They invite her to freely take her place on their platforms to spew her rank bigotry .
So much for the party of tolerance and inclusion .
Oh , you can be tolerated and included alright , as long as you comport to the hate .
The Free Beacon reports , “ Andom Ghebreghiorgis , an anti-Israel activist , co-hosted a virtual town hall with Sarsour to attack [ Elliot ] Engel , the chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee .

” The report continues : “ [ Engel ] has said that conditioning military aid to Israel is one of the stupidest things ever .
To me , that is just a wild statement , ” Ghebreghiorgis said .
‘ Those are actually integral parts of our campaign , ending military aid to not just Israel and Egypt but also Saudi Arabia , UAE , [ and ] the Philippines . '
” What do all those nations have in common ?
They @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , “ Sarsour lavished praise for the leftist challenger , telling viewers that ‘ the kids loved him ’ while he taught overseas .
The controversial activist , who has faced accusations of anti-Semitism , also sharply criticized Engel ’ s pro-Israel stance as ‘ not acceptable for any member of Congress ’ …Ghebreghiorgis is not the only anti-Israel candidate seeking to dethrone Engel .

One of the most disgusting parts of the modern Democrat agenda is their toleration of hate-filled anti-Semites in their party. Along with the rest of the hard-left agenda, a loathing for Israel, an oasis of democracy in a sea of authoritarian regimes, has taken its place in their long lamentable list of pathologies.
The Washington Free Beacon reports that Linda Sarsour, a venomous wretch of anti-American and anti-Western bile, is actively working with other Democrats to defeat a Democrat who swims against the prog tide when it comes to Israel. But national Democrats say nothing about Sarsour and do little more. They invite her to freely take her place on their platforms to spew her rank bigotry. So much for the party of tolerance and inclusion. Oh, you can be tolerated and included alright, as long as you comport to the hate.
The Free Beacon reports, “Andom Ghebreghiorgis, an anti-Israel activist, co-hosted a virtual town hall with Sarsour to attack [Elliot] Engel, the chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Engel has been a consistent defender of Israel during his 27-year tenure in Congress—a policy record that his left-wing primary challengers see as a vulnerability.”
The report continues: “[Engel] has said that conditioning military aid to Israel is one of the stupidest things ever. To me, that is just a wild statement,” Ghebreghiorgis said. ‘Those are actually integral parts of our campaign, ending military aid to not just Israel and Egypt but also Saudi Arabia, UAE, [and] the Philippines.'”
What do all those nations have in common? They are American allies.
The report concludes, “Sarsour lavished praise for the leftist challenger, telling viewers that ‘the kids loved him’ while he taught overseas. The controversial activist, who has faced accusations of anti-Semitism, also sharply criticized Engel’s pro-Israel stance as ‘not acceptable for any member of Congress’…Ghebreghiorgis is not the only anti-Israel candidate seeking to dethrone Engel. Jamaal Bowman, another progressive candidate running against Engel, has also vowed to cut all military aid to Israel. Bowman currently leads Ghebreghiorgis in fundraising, hauling in $540,000 this cycle while Ghebreghiorgis has raised $202,000, according to election filings.”

thepoliticalinsider--2020-04-29--Bill de Blasio Lambasted For Tweets Attacking Jewish Community

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has come under fire for singling out the Jewish community in a series of tweets in which he slammed them for not obeying lockdown procedures .
He then refused to apologize for the tweets .
De Blasio personally went with police to the dispersal of a funeral of Rabbi Chaim Mertz in the Williamsburg area of Brooklyn , where hundreds of mourners attended .
In a series of tweets following the funeral , de Blasio said that the gathering was “ absolutely unacceptable.
” “ My message to the Jewish community , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the time for warnings has passed , ” de Blasio continued .
“ 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.
” De Blasio said he understood “ the instinct to gather to mourn , ” but that “ large gatherings ” would only lead to more deaths and “ more families in morning.
” The Mayor said he would “ not allow this , ” and that he and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” against further gatherings .
De Blasio was then slammed online for specifically outlining the Jewish community , especially when it was only one specific section of the Jewish religious community who attended the funerals .
Others pointed out that de Blasio did not put forward a similar tweet when large crowds gathered on Tuesday in order to watch a flyover salute from the Navy and Air Force on Tuesday for first responders .
In a statement , De Blasio stuck by his guns , saying that “ members of the Jewish community @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in danger : Now , if I see it in any other committee , I ’ ll call that out equally .
So again , if in my passion and in my emotion , I said something that in any way was hurtful , I ’ m sorry about that .
That was not my intention .
But I also want to be clear : I have no regrets about calling out this danger and saying we ’ re going to deal with it very , very aggressively .
How absolutely hypocritical from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was caught flouting social distancing measures himself !
De Blasio and his wife travelled to a park in Brooklyn , 11 miles from their home , which a Twitter user who videoed the pair described as “ the epitome of non-essential travel.
” If he ’ s going to call people out for flouting lockdown rules , maybe he should start with himself !

“Absolutely Unacceptable”
De Blasio personally went with police to the dispersal of a funeral of Rabbi Chaim Mertz in the Williamsburg area of Brooklyn, where hundreds of mourners attended. In a series of tweets following the funeral, de Blasio said that the gathering was “absolutely unacceptable.”
Something absolutely unacceptable happened in Williamsburg tonite: a large funeral gathering in the middle of this pandemic. When I heard, I went there myself to ensure the crowd was dispersed. And what I saw WILL NOT be tolerated so long as we are fighting the Coronavirus — Mayor Bill de Blasio (@NYCMayor) April 29, 2020
“My message to the Jewish community, and all communities, is this simple: the time for warnings has passed,” de Blasio continued. “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.”

De Blasio said he understood “the instinct to gather to mourn,” but that “large gatherings” would only lead to more deaths and “more families in morning.” The Mayor said he would “not allow this,” and that he and the NYPD would have “zero tolerance” against further gatherings.
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
De Blasio Is A Hypocrite!
De Blasio was then slammed online for specifically outlining the Jewish community, especially when it was only one specific section of the Jewish religious community who attended the funerals.
Two things are true at same time:@NYCMayor YOU need to apologize for your DANGEROUS singling out of an entire “Jewish community” rather than ALL individual rule-benders!

That was not my intention. But I also want to be clear: I have no regrets about calling out this danger and saying we’re going to deal with it very, very aggressively.
How absolutely hypocritical from de Blasio. Only this weekend he was caught flouting social distancing measures himself! De Blasio and his wife travelled to a park in Brooklyn, 11 miles from their home, which a Twitter user who videoed the pair described as “the epitome of non-essential travel.” If he’s going to call people out for flouting lockdown rules, maybe he should start with himself!


thepoliticalinsider--2020-04-29--Founder Of #MeToo Movement Says Biden Can Be ‘Accountable And Electable’

One of the founders of the # MeToo movement has said that Joe Biden can be both “ accountable and electable , ” despite the accusations against him .
Tarana Burke , one of the most prominent activists who founded the # MeToo movement back in 2018 , spoke on social media that despite the accusations by Tara Reade against Joe Biden , she was still going to be endorsing him for President .
“ The inconvenient truth is that this story is impacting us differently because it hits at the heart of one of the most important elections of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ disappoint you but I don ’ t really have easy answers , ” Burke said .
Burke argued that there are “ no perfect survivors , ” seemingly dismissing the claims put forward by Reade , a scrutiny of the alleged victim we have not seen before from the # MeToo movement .
“ Tara Reade has been afforded the opportunity to speak her truth through mainstream media reporting on her claims and ongoing investigative journalism , ” Burke argued , even though most mainstream news sources have dismissed her allegations .
RELATED @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Is ‘ Inaccurately ’ Claiming They Said Sexual Assault ‘ Did Not Happen ’ She proceeded to offer Biden a way out from the allegations , claiming that he could “ demonstrate what it looks like to be both accountable and electable.
” And what does that mean , you ask ?
“ At minimum , [ Biden should acknowledge ] that his demonstrated learning curve around boundaries with women , at the very least , left him open to the plausibility of these claims , ” Burke continued .
So he doesn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Reade specifically , but just say that he regrets being creepy around women !
What a joke .
This is a huge “ have your cake and eat it too ” moment from the # MeToo activists .
When the accusations came out against now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearings from Christine Blasey Ford , that were nowhere near as credible as those put forward by Reade , everyone in the # MeToo movement was clamoring for Kavanaugh ’ s blood .
But now , when the single viable opponent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , they start to waver and ask for people to be reasonable .
Now you can see the hypocrisy within the movement .
It was never about protecting women , but about pushing an agenda .
Do not forget this the next time they start speaking up .
