Celebrating Independence Day Weekend

​It has been a week since this writer posted anything about anything. A well-deserved vacation to recharge the batteries was needed, even though much activity was occurring over the last few days, including the celebration of 250 years of our Glorious Independence and Liberty.

The world went on as usual, with the same pluses and minuses as it always has. And, by the way, the anticipation of the wedding of the year spectacular is also finally behind us. T and T FINALLY got married. Thank God, we could not take any more of PAGE SIX.

Iran is still acting like a belligerent tyrant during this period of ceasefire while rattling its destroyed weapons. And is still murdering innocent civilians, who only want water and lights, all while the occupiers blaspheme God. 

In New York City, Socialist (Communist) Mayor Mamdani continues to push his anti-American agenda even harder since his candidates beat traditional Democrats in the recent primary. 

And has the audacity to sit behind George Washington’s desk denigrating this country as he mocked Independence Day calling out the “powerful” who treat American ideals as a given only for the “select few.”   But he forgot to mention the sacrifices made by so many who made this country great.

“We see a city of contradictions within a nation of contradictions,” he intoned. “We see the wealthiest nation in the history of the world, one where children go to sleep hungry while the world’s first trillionaire hungers for more. We see monopolies that dominate every industry and oligarchs who buy elections.”

Spoken like a true Socialist, born with a Communist spoon in his mouth.

But enough about him. Instead, we can remember that we still live in a country where we can say anything, even when we disagree, knowing that no other country has that same freedom. And can condemn same without fear of reprisal.

God Bless America, Land that I Love.

Another Reason For the SAVE America Act

​

When someone says there is no “Election Fraud” committed by anyone, point them to this. It is rampant, even in a school board election.

A Long Island school clerk overseeing board of education elections tore up ballots and threw them in a dumpster to rig the election for a local DJ, a newly revealed internal probe found.

Hempstead Union Free School District Clerk April Keys allegedly rigged the May 19 trustee election by smuggling official ballots out of her office and handing absentee ballots to incumbent candidate Victor Pratt so he could trash them, according to a 51-page petition filed by the district with the state Education Department.

Keys could now face criminal charges as the district is looking to overturn Pratt’s razor-thin win. Pratt is a third-term trustee and former school board president who moonlights as a local DJ under the stage name DJ Vic-Lover, according to his social media.

“The Board of Education Trustee election must be overturned because widespread irregularities affected the outcome of the election and were so pervasive that they vitiated the electoral process,” the filing, from the Hempstead school district’s attorneys, said. “The Board of Education Trustee election must be overturned because widespread irregularities affected the outcome of the election and were so pervasive that they vitiated the electoral process,” the filing, from the Hempstead school district’s attorneys, said.

The filing, which was submitted June 15 but emerged Thursday,  asks state Education Department Commissioner Betty Rosa to order a new one election, with a replacement clerk and oversight by the state Attorney General’s Civil Rights office.

The district launched an internal investigation after it discovered major irregularities in its election for the unpaid trustee seats.

What a surprise! NOT!!

And here is another little tidbit, friends. Pratt won by just 81 votes, boosted by a suspiciously large number of absentee and early mail ballots that boosted him to the win even though he only came in third on machine voting, the probe found.

Pratt racked up 87% of absentee votes and 55% of early mail votes, compared to just 27% of in-person machine votes, while other trustee candidates received fewer than 100 absentee and early mail ballots combined, the probe found. 

If this can happen for a local school board election, with only two people involved, one can only extrapolate that with many more people at state and federal levels counting absentee and mail-in ballots, greater fraud is probable. Especially when there are no fail-safe checkpoints like cameras installed in the rooms where ballots are counted.

Eighty percent of ALL Americans want election integrity in our elections. It seems that forty-five Democrats, two Independents and several Republicans keep voting to allow fraud in our elections by voting against the SAVE America Act.

It is well beyond time to finally pass and enact this bill.

Krazy Kat’s Embarrassing Big Fail

​In an effort to inspire the crowd which attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Buffalo Bills stadium, Governor Krazy Kat received a tepid response from the crowd for her Biden-like cheering antics.

The Buffalo native, clad in a Bills hat and a blue-and-white blazer and shirt combo, enthusiastically took the stage at the newly completed Highmark Stadium Tuesday, kicking off her remarks with a fervent “alright let’s get this party started, let’s go!” to a response of what could charitably be called a trickle of applause.

Undeterred, the fired-up governor belted out an earnest chant of “Buffalo, let’s go!”, attempting to get the audience to join in the call-and-response, and even pointing to either side of the crowd to give them their cue.

“Alright, seriously? You want to win a championship season with that kind of enthusiasm? Men and women of labor you know what I’m talking about,” before, improbably, again trying to rouse the audience from their slumber with another botched chant attempt.

It was pitiful.

She was met with such deafening silence she aborted the effort and called them out for their lethargy.

If this is the response her hometown is giving her, perhaps she should rethink her ambition to run for another term. The rest of the state’s residents don’t have the same tepid feelings for her. She is blinded by her own conceit.

Oh, and by the way, the $2.1 billion, 60,000-seat stadium, which her husband was intimately involved with developing, will be the home of the NFL franchise for the next 30 years. 

Ultimately, it was yet another big fail for Krazy Kat.

Socialism Has Finally Reared Its Ugly Head

“Socialism only works in two places: Heaven where they don't need it, and hell where they already have it." Ronald Reagan  

​The death knell for the Democrat Party in New York City yesterday as the DSA (no relation to the traditional Democrat Party) won several key contests ousting several key Democrats from their Congressional seats. Several were previously considered untouchable.

Shades of Joe Crowley when AOC surprised him and us in 2018.

“The roof is collapsing on the Democratic Party establishment tonight,” progressive political activist and CNN commentator Van Jones told Kaitlan Collins as election results rolled in.

“And you can’t write off New York City because this … is a power center for the establishment and the insurgency. And they’re going head to head tonight,” he said.

“And right now, this is no longer a movement. This is a movement and a machine at the same time. And there’s just no way to sugarcoat this: if Mamdani pulls off a hat trick this is a new era in Democratic Party politics.”

He is not wrong. This has been long-coming since AOC became the darling of the media and the left.

And what was once considered the loony fringe of the Democrats, is now rolling to become its voice.

Even Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) whose independent streak has rankled his own party since his own surprise victory in 2022, didn’t hold back in voicing his consternation about Tuesday’s results when speaking to Fox News’ Sean Hannity.

“This has become the dancing days of the dirtbag left,” he said.

“Some of these candidates are outrageous. You have candidates, they [want to] abolish ICE, abolish police, abolish the border. She even said ‘f Kamala Harris’ and more of these outrageous kinds of things,” the senator said, referencing a deleted, expletive-laced social media post by Chevalier in 2021.

He said the slate of candidates who won their races represent the “full pro-Hamas wing” of the party who have declared “war on regular Democrats.”

As well, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) suffered a blow Tuesday night after far-left congressional hopefuls defeated his preferred candidates.

Wins by socialists Darializa Avila Chevalier and Claire Valdez in the Empire State’s 13th and 7th congressional districts, respectively, along with left Israel-critic Brad Lander’s victory in New York’s 10th District, could complicate Jeffries’ path to retaining the Democratic leadership post, and potentially the speakership, after the November midterms.

Jeffries endorsed defeated incumbent Reps. Dan Goldman (D-NY) and Adriano Espaillat (D-NY) for re-election in the 10th and 13th districts – both of whom had pledged to fall in line behind Jeffries if Democrats reclaimed the majority.

The once-revered party of JFK and Truman  is crumbling rapidly before our eyes, at least in New York.

Reagan’s quote about socialism is now alive and well in New York City, too. God Help Us All.

The Mayor Leads the Hate

​If you are wondering why there has been a severe increase in anti-Semitism in this country, look no further than New York City, home of the largest number of Jews outside Israel, where Mayor Zohran Mamdani regularly expresses his Jew-hate, unabashedly.

Hizzoner took aim at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee [AIPAC] last week during a campaign rally with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), saying “these monsters take many forms today.”

Mamdani on Monday stood by the characterization as he was pressed repeatedly on if he regretted the word choice.

“I used the term to describe all those who are preventing the birth of a new world, not solely a PAC, but frankly, super PACs at large, who are spending millions of dollars in deceptive and misleading ads that are blanketing airwaves,” he told reporters in City Hall Rotunda Monday morning at an unrelated presser.

Mamdani stood by his rant at the Kings Theatre, where he shamelessly railed against AIPAC and Israel. 

“In AIPAC, for whom the only thing more frightening than democracy being allowed to run its course is an end to genocide and Netanyahu’s wars,” the mayor continued at the Kings Theatre in Brooklyn.

This has prompted Parviz Mukhamadkulov, founder of Poetica Coffee in Park Slope,  to regularly engage in comment threads under posts about Israel or the horrors committed by Hamas, in which he justifies the terror group’s atrocities on October 7, 2023.

The radical leftist owner of the woke Brooklyn coffee shop boasts about discriminating against pro-Israel Jewish customers on social media and has a history of deranged anti-Israel LinkedIn posts, including accusing the Jewish state of genocide and compares it to Nazi Germany.

And this week, Poetica Coffee stirred up controversy when it publicly banned pro-Israel NY congressman Dan Goldman after he stopped by the shop for a cup of coffee.

“Hey Congressman Dan Goldman, we see that you stopped by our shop today for a coffee. Do you see how it doesn’t taste like genocide juice? Or are you still having a hard time telling the difference?” the coffee shop wrote on its Facebook page.

The problem is that some believe free speech permits hate speech. And when elected politicians succumb to this unacceptable behavior, it gives rise to increased levels of this expression of hate.

This is not the first time Mayor Mamdani has ginned up the Jew-hate which pervades so many in the City. But as he grows more comfortable in his position as Mayor, any shred of his mask will finally erode, revealing his blatant anti-Semitism, and give fire to more anti-Jewish elements who thrive on their own hate.

Believing that the Mayor, by his own words and deeds, has their backs.

Why are Democrats Afraid to Pass the SAVE Act?

​

CNN, the most untrusted source of news, except for MS NOW, is reporting that the Trump administration is threatening to withhold tens of millions of dollars in federal homeland security funds from states unless they adopt a sweeping set of election changes. 

The move, says CNN, is part of President Donald Trump’s campaign to root out alleged voter fraud, despite studies showing it is far rarer than he claims, and exert more federal influence over how elections are run. It comes as multiple states have passed laws that seek to prevent the Federal Government from interfering with elections.

Once again, CNN, which is part of the Democrat Party press department, is spouting off the traditionally false Democrat Party talking points.

This flies in the face of the Democrat objections to the Safeguard American Voter Elegibilty (SAVE America) Act, where people would be required to prove citizenship to vote in FEDERAL elections and to provide  an acceptable photo ID, such as a driver's license, passport, or other government approved ID.

But these same Democrats find no objection when a photo ID is REQUIRED to open a bank account or stock account, collect a welfare check or EBT card, buy cigarettes, beer and alcohol, pick up a prescription, travel via ship or plane, rent age-restricted videos including online, rent a car, getting a document notarized, applying for a gun license, hunting license or passport, apply for job, apply for a loan and cash a check at a bank or check/ cashing facility. Yet, asking for a photo ID is deemed discriminatory to vote.

This begs the question, why? Are the Democrats trying to cheat? 

For years, the DHS grants, which states apply for, have required that at least 3% of the funds be spent broadly on election security. But the new guidelines, which CNN obtained and are expected to go out to states later this month, impose a set of mandatory reforms and steep penalties for noncompliance. States that refuse would lose 20% of the grant money, potentially millions of dollars in security funds.

“No changes to grant requirements or funding distributions are official until they are formally announced and published through proper, authorized agency channels,” a DHS spokesperson said in a statement, adding that the administration considers election security to be a core national security priority.

“Any recipient of federal funding should expect accountability for how taxpayer dollars are spent,” the spokesperson added.

Until now, while the House has passed the SAVE America Act, the Senate, due to the sixty-vote filibuster, has refused to even bring it up for discussion. And Leader(less) Thune is afraid to kill the filibuster, even though, even a four-year-old knows the Democrats will kill it when they regain the majority in the Senate.

It is time to pass the SAVE America Act NOW!

Exit Keir Starmer

​

Over the last several months, things have become quite difficult for British PM Keir Starmer, to put it mildly. First, he tried to flex his minuscule muscles at President Trump by denying any support in the first days of the Iran War 

He refused the US Air Force to land at Diego Garcia, which caused a rift in the “Special Relationship” which King Charles finally repaired. Somewhat.

Then, protests broke out against the continued illegal immigration policies which he ignored. Then, reports of rapes and beatings by Muslim men hit  the wires, which caused more outrage when he continued to ignore it.

Last month, the Reform Party, led by Nigel Farage, made huge gains in Parliament by winning over 1,000 seats.

Now,  Prime Minister Keir Starmer is reportedly set to resign Monday, though sources close to him contend he’s focused on the job.

Starmer is said to be discussing his political future with his wife, Victoria, before laying out a timetable for his departure from 10 Downing Street next week, according to The Observer.

The news comes after Starmer rival Andy Burnham won a seat in parliament in a special election in Greater Manchester.

Burnham, who has made two previous runs at heading the Labour Party, is said to have the support of over half the Labour MPs to mount a leadership challenge to Starmer, the outlet reported. 

The two are set to meet next week.

“Keir has realised the game is up and it’s got to be a graceful exit,” a senior Labour figure told Reuters The Observer. 

“What he rightly wants to avoid is humiliation, but the worst humiliation for Keir personally would be if he stands in a leadership election and is heavily beaten.”

His popularity polls are in the sewer. His most recent polls show him with only a 23% approval rating, while he is rated at 69% disapproval. Even the British recognize a failure when they see it.

The longer he he clings to power, the more frustrated Brits are becoming. Even Neville Chamberlain never was hated by so many as Starmer is.

And if he stays, he will drag the UK into the toilet with him.
