Washington—D.C. police were still searching Thursday for the two women and a man who stabbed and beat a transgender woman in a Northeast laundromat on Sunday, while screaming anti-gay slurs. The 31-year-old victim, Nysia Armstead, spent days in the hospital, but has finally been released. "I got stabbed in my head, where I have 18 stitches right here," Armstead said in an exclusive interview in her Southeast, D.C. apartment. "And I have like 40 stitches in my right arm." Armstead is furious that the three people who attacked her with their fists and a large pocket knife are still at large.

Comments:

Attacks on Transgender-Americans, who usually are black, are done almost 100% by other bLACK people. "Black Trans Lives Matter" is part of the narrative, yet bLACK people are never held to account for the violence, which again makes clear that BLM has no interest whatsoever in stopping the attacks.

f*** ? Fat? Flatulent? Fierce? Friend? Having an “n-word” is stupid enough, but hiding whatever slur some idiots used is not helpful.

The most dangerous person in this country to a black person is another black person. Until they figure that out and stop it, black murders and beatings will continue at the ridiculous rates we already see and rise higher as more cops leave the force or are afraid to engage and enforce the law for fear of being fired, suede or going to jail themselves. BLM/Antifa is the most dangerous organization the Republic has seen since the civil war nearly destroyed the country. These people are terrorists and traitors taking foreign money to destroy our country and should be tried as such.

As usual, the lack of description of the attackers told me all I needed to know about the attackers. Yet another attack by a group of feral Blacks who feel they are able to attack others (Trans, Asian, whoever) because they will face no consequences from the Black community and will be ignored by media. If the attacker had been white, you can be sure the usual race hustlers, BLM, Al Sharpton, ANTIFA, LGBTQ activists, Ben Crump, and all of the rest of the usual crowd would have descended on the laundromat and looted, burned, and rioted in the surrounding area because of the racist, transphobic attacks. The FBI, Joe Biden, Kamala, and Justice Department would all also be announcing their latest investigation into the greatest threat to the country: white supremacy! How about an investigation into the humongous problem of black supremacy and the violent attacks by blacks on just about everyone!

I have a braindead lie-beral neighbor who has a "Black Lives Matter" sign in their yard. Below the BLM, it says "Silence Is Violence". Which is so funny, because, according to FBI statistics, if you are a black person who is killed, 90% of the time it is another black person who killed you. Yet BLM and the Demon-Rats are totally silent on this huge fact!!! But there is no money is addressing black-on-black crime (like the attack in this story), so the silence will remain, and so will the black-on-black violence!!!

A black-on-black (see photos) attack in a laundromat would normally sound like an attempted robbery by non-patrons, though it would not surprise me that the perps also called the victim names if it became obvious she was trans. Bottom line, since they apparently did not leave with one or more loads of laundry, it is unlikely they went to the laundromat looking to commit a hate crime against a member of the own race in a black district (NE).

The dirty secret that the ''Trans Lives Matter'' proponents will not openly admit is that trans murders are usually committed against prostitutes by their lowlife clients. This one is just a case of violent black street thugs.

Looks like one particular protected quota class has no fear of accountability for denying transgender superiority. And its an issue Biden and the fascist will blame on the new boogie man, white supremeist. But then, if liberals don't care about the intercity blacken black slander that has been going on for decades, don't hold your breath they will come to the rescue of transgender blacks attacked by other blacks.

A “transgender woman” is a man. Always was, always will be. They have been known to be beaten up when their pretense is discovered. Many years ago a local doctor of some repute in San Diego was responsible for one of these conversions. The man became a rather attractive, tall, blonde pretend female, but with an unusual voice. Dressed in designer clothes, he frequented Torrey Pines golf course in LaJolla during big name tournaments. Then one day he ended up with two black eyes and any number of other injuries when he was found to a be a he.

Federal prosecutors unsealed charges Tuesday against a woman who ran what they called a “Russian propaganda center” in New York, trying to inject Moscow’s viewpoint into American politics. Elena Branson is charged with acting as an unregistered agent for a foreign power, as well as visa fraud and lying to the FBI. The Justice Department said she left the U.S. for Russia in 2020, and remains at large. Prosecutors said her organization, Russian Center New York, was funded by the Russian government and took direction from high-ranking officials in Moscow. Given those connections, she was supposed to have registered as a foreign lobbyist, the government says.

President Biden’s announcement that the United States will ban imports of Russian oil caused the price of crude to surge on Tuesday morning. However, the pain that Americans are set to feel at the gas pump could eventually be offset if Congress were to pass Biden’s Build Back Better agenda, a new study finds. An analysis released Tuesday by the nonpartisan think tank Energy Innovation finds that the climate change provisions of Biden’s now-defunct proposal, such as tax credits for buying new electric vehicles, would have reduced U.S. oil consumption by 2025 by half of the roughly 200,000 barrels of crude oil from Russia

And so, unfortunately, not all my colleagues yet understand that the way to undercut the power of Russia is to end our dependence on oil and have the world transition to renewable energy.”

Sen.

As gas prices surged to the most expensive ever recorded on Monday, the revelations about Cortez Masto could severely jeopardize her 2022 reelection campaign. Gas prices on Monday soared in Nevada to at least $4.590 per gallon — the second-highest in the nation behind Hawaii — and even as this happened, the Democrat senator has regularly opposed initiatives that would reduce gas prices and increase American energy independence. For instance, Masto has opposed the Keystone Pipeline, drilling on federal lands,
