thepoliticalinsider--2020-07-21--High Ranking Biden Campaign Aide Blasted For Sexist Tweets

Fox News reported on Tuesday afternoon that “ Joe Biden ’ s head of strategic communications , Kamau M. Marshall , has repeatedly posted sexist messages on social media over the past decade.
” The campaign with third wave feminist gorgons like Elizabeth Warren and Ilhan Omar in it ’ s midst also sports a top aide whose words , now quickly scrubbed from Twitter but saved by Fox News , sound like the unintentionally hilarious ramblings of a confused love guru circa 1974 .
Among the gems are a Christmas Eve 2011 tweet in which Marshall expressed his affection @ @ @ @ @ @ @ long as she “ know [ s ] her place ” and he can “ where [ sic ] the pants.
” “ Where.
” And this guy is head of strategic communications .
Then in 2012 , Marshall asked : “ Are all women crazy ?
?
?
?
Lol no offense ijs [ I ’ m just saying ] .
” The next year Marshall noted , “ It ’ s unattractive when a girl doesn ’ t act classy & does not know how to control her feelings.
” He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ @ kimberlyjaneece I disagree-I try not look at __or impress__Personally speaking-I enjoy the challenge & I only look & talk to CLASSY Women.
” And he topped it off with , “ sour , angry women ” to “ Keep your distance…Don ’ t take it out on the next man.
” The Biden campaign refuses comment on the issue , hoping the left-wing lapdog press will hardly cover it and it will go away .
But some of their allies in the crazy feminist faction won ’ t let it go @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and his hard left that much worse .
Another Biden staffer does not like law enforcement and wants to defund the whole lot .
But Joe and his campaign say no such thing…in public .
Sara Pearl , a campaign videographer , not only called for defunding the police but then tweeted a meme saying police are worse than “ pigs.
” The meme facetiously asked people to stop calling the police “ pigs , ” but only because pigs are “ highly intelligent and empathetic animals who would never racially profile you.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ sweet , intelligent and compassionate , ” and law enforcement are “ monsters ” who “ don ’ t deserve to be called pigs.
” That is the level of maturity in the Biden campaign .
What was that we recently opined on “ toxic femininity ” ?
Trump stalwart Richard Grenell hit back and called Biden to task : “ Joe Biden can ’ t stand up to his supporters or staff who are calling to Defund the Police .
The Biden campaign didn ’ t respond to when given the chance… @ @ @ @ @ @ @ immediately say ‘ of course we don ’ t support this !
’ ?
?
!
” But Grenell knows why and is amusing himself .
It is because Biden is damned if he does and damned if he doesn ’ t .
If he throws Marshall or Pearl under the bus , many spoiled hard-left campaign staffers will feel threatened .
Also , Marshall is black and Pearl is female .
So those grievance lobbies would be up in arms .
But let them stay after those words and it holds Biden @ @ @ @ @ @ @ makes the president ’ s case that Biden is held hostage by the hard left .
Nasty little quandary , eh Joe ?

A judge has ordered the release of a multitude of documents in a lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell, including the infamous Epstein flight logs.
Huge Release Of Documents Inbound!
Maxwell was arrested at her New Hampshire address at the start of the month by federal agents. She is currently being held in prison, charged with multiple sex trafficking and sexual assault offenses, along with two counts of perjury. It is alleged that not only did she provide underage girls for Jeffrey Epstein to assault and rape, but that she participated in the abuse herself.
Loretta Preska, a US District Judge in Manhattan, ruled that the vast majority of more than 80 documents from a 2015 lawsuit against Maxwell by Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre should be released. Her team argued that the documents contained “extremely personal” material that could be “embarrassing or annoying” if they were unsealed.
However, Preska said that the right of the public to know what was in the documents completely outweighed Maxwell’s demands to keep them closed.
The documents included testimony from Maxwell from 2016, police reports from Florida, and, most importantly, flight logs from Epstein’s jet, the Lolita Express, of which Bill Clinton was a famous guest.

Maxwell was denied bail earlier this month, after Judge Alison Nathan deemed her to be a “substantial flight risk.”
“There will be no trial for the victims if the defendant is afforded the opportunity to flee the jurisdiction, and there is every reason to think that is exactly what she will do if she is released,” prosecutors argued in a court filing.
Really, the risk now isn’t that Maxwell will flee, but that she will suffer the same fate as Epstein, who “committed suicide” in his own prison cell. The release of the flight logs of the Lolita Express may cause some people to act irrationally – perhaps now she is most at risk.

Liz Cheney Should Step Down

On Tuesday , Representative Liz Cheney ( R-WY ) – the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney and the third-ranking Republican in House leadership – came under fire from conservatives in a closed-door meeting on the Hill .
Criticism intensified when President Trump joined into the pile on , saying on Twitter : The main stream media and NeverTrumpers have attempted to paint Ms. Cheney as the victim of a party purge – only being hounded by her critics because she is not sufficiently loyal to President Trump .

Let’s be completely clear. This isn’t about Liz Cheney’s loyalty to the President. It’s about Liz Cheney’s willingness to do anything to derail efforts to bring our brave men and women home from war zones like Afghanistan.
Establishment Republicans were quick to jump to Cheney’s defense. Rich Lowry, writing in Politico, said:
“Whatever you think of Cheney’s views on national security, she has a well-thought-out worldview that she defends resolutely and thoughtfully.”
That’s fine and dandy and Liz Cheney is certainly entitled to her opinion. And, the Republican Party tent is big enough to include those who support an America First foreign policy and the handful of neocons who still believe in endless wars.

Most neoconservatives also defend the Iraq War, which President Trump has called one of the greatest mistakes in American foreign policy history.
Fellow neoconservative and disgraced former Trump adviser, John Bolton, defended Cheney after the attacks by Republicans this week.
“I know @Liz_Cheney as a principled leader who puts her country first,” Bolton tweeted. “In the coming months, we are going to need lots of leaders to step up, speak their minds, & stand for their beliefs.

It has just been revealed that an illegal alien who allegedly killed a retired police officer and two veterans was out on bail and could have been deported back in 2016, yet he never was.
Ivan Robles Navejas, a 28-year-old illegal alien from Mexico, was arrested by the Kerr County Sheriff’s Office earlier this month on six counts of intoxication assault with a vehicle and three counts of intoxicated vehicular manslaughter. Cops say that Navejas had been driving drunk when he crashed his vehicle into bikers with the Thin Blue Line motorcycle club, which is made up of current and former law enforcement officers as well as active service members and veterans.
The three men who were killed in the crash have been identified as:
48-year-old retired officer Joseph “GT” Paglia of Chicago
74-year-old retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. Jerry “Wings” Harbour of Houston
20-something retired U.S. Army officer Michael “Psycho” White of Chicago
“Please pray for the families of the three wonderful men that lost their lives so tragically and our members that were injured in this senseless and tragic accident. Pray for all of our leadership and members as we grieve with heavy hearts,” Thin Blue Line leaders said in a statement after the horrifying incident.
Court records that were obtained by KENS 5 News have since shown that Navejas is an illegal immigrant with a criminal history that dates back to 2013, when he was arrested for evading arrest, a charge he was later convicted of in 2015.
In 2016, Navejas was arrested for driving while intoxicated, yet this case was never prosecuted. Though the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) came in contact with Navejas, he was deemed to be not enough of a priority to arrest and deport.
Had he been deported four years ago as he should have, these three American heroes would still be alive.
At the time of this month’s crash, Navejas was out on bail for hitting a man with his truck and pinning him against another vehicle in 2018. The illegal alien then bit the man’s ear off, also biting his back. Navejas was freed on $65,000 bail and was out awaiting trial at the time of this month’s crash.
Navejas is in the Kerr County Jail on a $500,000 bail at the time of this writing. Here’s hoping they don’t let him out this time.

Oakland Mayor Turns On Black Lives Matter – Accuses Protesters Of Terrorism After They Vandalize Her Home

The Democrat mayor of Oakland , California just learned the hard way how dangerous Black Lives Matter really is when protesters with the organization vandalized her home .

The vandalism reportedly occurred early Tuesday morning and involved thirty to forty protesters dressed all in black , according to the .

” “ I know there ’ s a lot of unrest and frustration and I sympathize with that , but this was jarring and felt like to another level , ” a neighbor of the mayor ’ s told .
Schaaf responded to the attack in a brief statement released through her spokesman , Justin Berton .
“ This attack designed to intimidate the Mayor and strike fear into her family , will not stop her from advocating for the policies she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of her beloved hometown , ” he said .
“ Like all Oaklanders , she supports passionate protest but does not support tactics meant to harm and terrorize others.
” A message has since been posted on the San Francisco Independent Media Center ’ s website from someone who claimed to be responsible for the vandalism .
“ Last night we sent a wake up call to Libby and a call for action to the whole Bay Area .
We left a note on her garage , and treated her to a nice @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pots and pans and assorted noisemakers , ” the message read .
“ Our message to Libby and other elected officials is simple : You have the power to take the boot off our necks — so we have the duty to struggle against you until that boot is lifted , ” it added .
“ You can ’ t hide from your responsibility !

One day before the attack , Trump had threatened to send federal agents into Oakland , saying that the city “ is a mess .

Rapper Ice Cube Claims Hollywood Owes ‘Reparations’ For ‘All The Damage They’ve Done To Black People’

The rapper Ice Cube , who has over seventy acting credits to his name , is now claiming that Hollywood owes “ reparations ” to black people for all the damage the entertainment industry has allegedly done to them .
During an interview with The Breakfast Club podcast , Ice Cube called on Hollywood studios to fund “ black studios ” to compensate black people for “ stealing our history and giving it to white people.
” “ All the studios who contributed in our narrative , in our pain , in our misrepresentation , in stealing our history and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a 100 years , so I think these studios that we know and love should kick in to a studio that ’ s ran by black people with no outside influences , and whose movies and projects are owned by those black people , ” Ice Cube said .
“ Those black artists , those black directors and writers , and people who put the projects together should own the projects , and any studios they can license — the projects , the movies , or the TV shows or whatever — or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” he added .
“ We can put them on our own streaming services .
I just think it ’ s a form of reparations from the entertainment industry if they all had to invest a certain amount of money into the studio each year as payment for all the damage they ’ ve done to black people.
” This is all part of a broader political manifesto that Ice Cube has called “ Contract with Black America , ” which he plans to propose to “ the parties ” and “ the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ presidential election .
In explaining his plans , Ice Cube demanded that black people be apportioned “ 13.5 percent of the pie ” given their share of the nation ’ s population .
“ Try to do it in [ an ] across the board , broad manner , because…stomping out little fires here and there just ain ’ t gon na cut it , ” he said .

Over the past few weeks, there has been a massive debate in the United States over whether schools should reopen in the fall. Now, at least one health expert has come out firmly in favor of sending children back to school as soon as possible.
Dr. Robert Redfield, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said during an interview with “Good Morning America” that it is “critical” that we get kids back to school as soon as possible, pointing out that there will be health consequences to not sending them back. He feels so confident that schools can open safely that he said he would gladly send his own grandchildren back to school.
