Fox News is carrying a story on the House vote on a resolution condemning anti-Semitism, following recent comments by U.S. Rep Ilhan Omar, D-Minn. The measure has been delayed, as Democrats scramble to rewrite the motion to include all forms of prejudice and progressives like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez come to the defense of their embattled colleague.
The declaration – which doesn’t mention Omar by name – was initially set to be introduced Wednesday. It was to set out the history of anti-Semitism and other bigotry in America and provide examples of anti-Jewish tropes about divided loyalties.
It was also supposed to say the House “rejects anti-Semitism as hateful expressions of intolerance that are contradictory to the values that define the people of the United States.” Full article here
90 of the top 100 most polluted cities are in China and India, and 90% of the trash being dumped into the oceans comes from China, India, and Africa, but you think an American “Green New Deal” will cause meaningful change. So answer me this……..
I for one am glad to see this happen. It stands for reason that once you start slicing and dicing society up into victim groups, sooner or later there will be preferred victim groups. Checkmate Nancy, you loose.
Bill de Blasio’s wife Chirlane McCray cannot explain where $850million given to the mental health program she champions has gone, according to reports.
In the three years it has been running, organizers at ThriveNYC have largely failed to keep records of the initiative’s achievements – and data that has been collected shows it lagging well behind targets.
Despite that, the program has been granted an even bigger budget going forward and is now on track to spend $1billion over five years.
Former Attorney General Loretta Lynch told Congressional lawmakers in closed door testimony that despite the DOJ having approved the FBI warrant and renewals to spy on Carter Page, she did not recall the applications, did not remember the details contained in the applications or the circumstances surrounding conversations about the warrant, according to testimony reviewed by SaraACarter.com.
Fox News is running with the story abut the FEC complaint asserting that Chakrabarti established two PACs, the Brand New Congress PAC and Justice Democrats PAC, and then systematically transfered more than $885,000 in contributions received by those PACs to the Brand New Campaign LLC and the Brand New Congress LLC — companies that, unlike PACs, are exempt from reporting all of their significant expenditures. The PACs claimed the payments were for “strategic consulting.”
That didn’t take long!
Imagine a government so hypocritical that it requires it’s citizens to prove they have health insurance, but not that they prove they are citizens.
Now compound that idiocy by implementing a policy that says if you refuse, are unable to, or are actually not a citizen then you will receive free health insurance paid for by those who are citizens and are forced to by the insurance because they are citizens.
The only way you could dream up such a ridiculous policy is if you actually wanted to slap citizens around and overwhelm the system.
“If they say to you, ‘Where did you come from?’, say to them, ‘We came from the light, the place where the light came into being on its own accord and established itself and became manifest through their image.’ If they say to you, ‘Is it you?’, say, ‘We are its children, we are the elect of the living father.’ If they ask you, ‘What is the sign of your father in you?’, say to them, ‘It is movement and repose.'”
50th Saying in The Gospel of Thomas
Who are ‘they’? Who are the ‘they’ that can understand the answer to their first question? Who are the ‘they’ that can formulate such questions and understand the so very esoteric answers? Are ‘they’ the common man as he existed 2000 years ago? Are ‘they’ some type of being between this world and the next? Who needs to know the signs of my father within me?
