[NY Post] Sooo much wrong. Hard to contain that much stoopid
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez likens Palestinians to Jesus while describing Israel as a violent occupying force in an online Christmas post, prompting critics to slam what they call her blatant "Jew hate."
In her Instagram story on Christmas Eve, the lefty New York Democrat shared a photo of a child in rubble in the Gaza Strip and said she is praying "for the peace and protection of the innocent in Gaza and the occupied territories.
"In the story of Christmas, Christ was born in modern-day Palestine under the threat of a government engaged in a massacre of innocents," she wrote.
"He was part of a targeted population being indiscriminately killed to protect an unjust leader’s power. Mary and Joseph, displaced by violence and forced to flee, became refugees in Egypt with a newborn waiting to one day return home.
"Thousands of years later, right-wing forces are violently occupying Bethlehem as similar stories unfold for today’s Palestinians, so much so that the Christian community in Bethlehem has canceled this year’s Christmas Eve celebrations out of both [fear for their] safety and respect," Ocasio-Cortez wrote.
"And yet, also today, holy children are still being born in a place of unspeakable violence — for every child born, of any identity and from any place, is sacred. Especially the children of Gaza," AOC said.
"The entire story of Christmas and Christ himself is about standing with the poor and powerless, the marginalized and maligned, the refugees and immigrants, the outcast and misunderstood without exception," she wrote.
"This high Christian holiday is about honoring the precious sanctity of a family that, if the story were to unfold today, would be Jewish Palestinians," the Democrat said.
"Merry Christmas. May there be peace on Earth, amen."
"AOC describes Israel as a ’violent, right wing occupying force’ in [a] Christmas post," he wrote. "No mention of Hamas terror, [or] the victims of [the] Oct. 7 attack."
[Epoch Times] The U.S. Supreme Court "has to smack this down very quickly," Mr. Barr told Fox News last week, responding to the decision.
And Mr. Barr—who served in the Trump administration but has become a frequent critic of President Trump after leaving office and has disputed claims about 2020 election fraud—added that "the legal argument here for it is ridiculous."
"Even more importantly, it is highly destructive, and it’s exactly the kind of tactics by the left that created Donald Trump in the first place," he said.

No smart person accepts a single word that Barr says at face value. Parsing his words and dissecting the possible angles Barr might be playing, like he is dishing Willy Mosconi trick shots, is a waste of time and energy. Bill is only useful in negating the person who he is speaking to and the venue that provides him a platform to lie. Any entity that facilitates Bill Barr disinformation is handing you an invaded razor blade.

If Trump had come out and said "Leave. Go Home," the actual moment the protesters assembled, the left would still say he fomented it.
Fuck them.

WASHINGTON (AP) — As the Senate wrapped up its work for the year, Sen. Michael Bennet took to the floor of the nearly empty chamber and made a late-night plea for Congress to redouble support for Ukraine: "Understand the stakes at this moment."
It was the third time in recent months the Colorado Democrat has kept the Senate working late by holding up unrelated legislation in a bid to cajole lawmakers to approve tens of billions of dollars in weaponry and economic aid for Ukraine. During a nearly hour-long, emotional speech, he called on senators to see the nearly 2-year-old conflict as a defining clash of authoritarianism against democracy and implored them to consider what it means "to be fighting on that freezing front line and not know whether we’re going to come through with the ammunition."
Yet Congress broke for the holidays and is not expected to return for two weeks while continued aid for Ukraine has nearly been exhausted. The Biden administration is planning to send one more aid package before the new year, but says it will be the last unless Congress approves more money.
With support slipping in Congress even as conflicts and unrest rattle global security, the United States is once again struggling to assert its role in the world. Under the influence of Donald Trump, the former president who is now the Republican Party front-runner, GOP lawmakers have increasingly taken a skeptical stance toward U.S. involvement abroad, particularly when it comes to aid to Ukraine.

I see very few Ukrainian flags these days. Ukrainian support has very heavy in the Cleveland area initially, but it has become more selective. If there is Palestinian support in NE Ohio, it must be exclusive to college campuses.

...I'm sure if you send out a crack news team from the major networks they could find a 'sea' of flags.
[Townhall] Former Chicago alderman and prominent Democrat Edward Burke was convicted on 13 federal corruption charges, including racketeering, bribery, and attempted extortion. "Chicago - The City That Works" Burke was found guilty of 13 out of 14 charges following a six-week trial. The case against the Democrat involved corrupt transactions where he used his political position for bribes and kickbacks. He was indicted for using his position to bring business from private developers to his own law firm. According to the New York Post, Burke targeted the developer 601W Companies LLC of New York, working on a $600 million renovation to Chicago’s Old Post Office, a Burger King restaurant, and the liquor store chain Benny’s Beverage Depot.
Burke faces a minimum sentence of 110 years in federal prison. His developer, Charles Cui, and Peter Andrews, Burke’s political aide, were also tried alongside Burke. Andrews was found not guilty of all charges, while Cui was guilty of bribery.
[Red State] Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's GOP presidential campaign has been sitting in Nowheresville ever since his longshot run for our nation's highest office breached began back in June.
Dubbed by one prominent conservative media commentator as the "kamikaze" candidate, Christie's polling numbers have remained at basement levels outside of New Hampshire, a primary basket where Christie is laying all of his eggs and where his campaign has admitted that they welcome crossover votes from Democrat voters who are looking to help Christie play spoiler in his bid to keep former President Donald Trump from winning the nomination.
On Thursday, though, Christie received some bad news from a Maine court, which rejected his appeal to get on the Maine presidential primary ballot:
The RNC just continues flush itself down the toilet. And this Nikki Haley. And to think Trump appointed her to be UN Ambassador. Trump can sure pick 'em (assuming he really had a choice).

Nikki was appointed as a lying envoy to a conclave of thieves. She had no power. Leaving Nikki and Krispy out of the power mix were a few of the smart personnel choices Trump made.

His campaign was floating belly up from the beginning.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
