RFK Jr. announces independent presidential
run, decries ‘tribal thinking’
Posted By: Beardo, 10/9/2023 2:52:05 PM
He’s ditched the Dems. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. officially announced Monday that he would run for president in 2024 as an independent, urging Americans to embrace “freedom from the reflex of having to take sides.” The 69-year-old announced in Philadelphia that he would bow out of the Democratic primary, where polls showed him badly trailing President Biden despite going as high as 20% in some surveys. Launching an independent candidacy, the environmental lawyer and anti-vaccination advocate said, would allow him to pursue an agenda that “puts peace and diplomacy first,” would “close the loopholes that bloat our budget” and “rescue debtors instead of the banks.”

Hamas Attacks 3 replies
A New York City law firm has rescinded an employment offer for a New York University Law School student who issued a public statement in support of Hamas.
Ryna Workman, the president of the NYU Student Bar Association, issued a statement in response to the Hamas attack, explicitly placing blame on Israel and praising Hamas. (snip) “I will not condemn Palestinian resistance,” Workman wrote.

The American Library Association (ALA) president said Sept. 2 at the Socialism 2023 Conference in Chicago that libraries and public schools need to be sites of socialist organizing.
Emily Drabinski, who also is an associate professor at Queens College, got in line at the microphone (snip) “I think your point that public education needs to be a site of socialist organizing,” Drabinski added. “I think libraries really do too ... I haven’t seen that working in libraries. But I think there’s real opportunity here”
The latest attack on Israel by the militant group Hamas was a failure of Israel's huge surveillance and defense systems, a retired US general told CNN. (snip) "What Hamas did, what their leadership did, was apparently they moved off of the normal modern communications links that we take for granted every day, and went back to what you did in the 19th century: face-to-face meetings, they went and used couriers instead of going in and using the telephone or the cell phone," he said. (snip) Leighton said that Hamas launched missiles with a short, lower trajectory, making them harder for Israel to shoot down.
The Washington Post plans to offer buyouts to employees to reduce its workforce by 240 people, interim CEO Patty Stonesifer told employees in a memo Tuesday. Calling it “difficult news,” Stonesifer said that in consultation with senior leadership, the brass have decided that “prior projections for traffic, subscriptions, and advertising growth for the past two years – and into 2024 – have been overly optimistic and we are working to find ways to return our business to a healthier place in the coming year.” (snip) Two hundred and forty employees represents about 10 percent of the company’s staff,
Former baseball star Steve Garvey announced Tuesday that he will run for the late Dianne Feinstein’s U.S. Senate seat as a Republican. (snip) “I like to think of myself as a concerned citizen. I started seeing a severe dysfunction in Washington. Career politicians were focusing on the business of politics and not the people,” he told the outlet. (snip) Democratic California Reps. Adam Schiff, Katie Porter and Barbara Lee will likely be running for the competitive seat.
Pope Francis Blames America First
26 replies
When I was growing up and attending Catholic schools, I was taught that the pope is infallible.
But then I read Pope Francis’ updated encyclical letter last week, and now I can only conclude that at least this pope is fallible. In fact, the declaration is so filled with anti-Christian fallacies that one has to wonder whether we have a pope that is actually Catholic. (snip) the U.S. has more emissions and uses more energy than many other nations, but that is because we produce far more output per capita than all other nations except China. It’s the reason the United States is the breadbasket of the world.
Several international women’s rights organizations have remained silent as terrorists killed and sexually assaulted numerous Israeli women in an attack over the weekend, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation review of their social media platforms and websites. (snip) Equality Now, a human rights organization that targets violence and abuse of women around the world, has not released a statement regarding the attack (snip) The Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) and the Global Fund for Women (GFW), have similarly not mentioned the violence in Israel. (snip) The MeToo Movement (snip) last posted on Oct. 5 about South Asian domestic abuse survivors in the U.S.
Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a bill into law that permits children as young as 12 to reside in government-funded “residential shelter services” to undergo mental health treatment or counseling for their gender identity without parental consent or even being informed by doctors. (snip)
California lawmakers justify this imposition into parental authority by claiming children identifying as LGBT often face parental rejection, harassment in school, or wider societal stigma, therefore, “obtaining parental consent for a youth who needs support is complicated by the parent or caretakers’ beliefs and stigma about mental health care.”
DOJ mysteriously pulls invite for Iran-backed
Iraqi judge who issued warrant for Trump’s arrest 11 replies
Iraqi judge who issued warrant for Trump’s arrest 11 replies
The DOJ was reportedly set to host an Iranian-backed Iraqi judge who had previously issued a warrant for former President Trump’s arrest before backtracking concerning the meeting. The confab was reportedly set to take place this month. The warrant was issued against Trump because he ordered the assassination of global terrorist Iranian Qassem Soleimani who was responsible for the killing of over 600 American military personnel. (snip) This is what DOJ does when not persecuting pro-life advocates.
Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., told CNN on Tuesday (sic) that she has no regrets over her recent comments comparing the United States and Israel to terrorist groups Hamas and the Taliban, and went so far as to blame her Jewish colleagues for taking issue with the remark. (snip) "Do you regret these comments?" Tapper asked.
"I don't," Omar replied plainly." (snip) Omar then proceeded to blame Jewish lawmakers who find her history of anti-Israel remarks offensive, telling Tapper, "I've welcomed any time my colleagues asked to have a conversation to learn from them, for them to learn from me."
When it was first revealed that the so-called “Inflation Reduction Act” provided funding for 87,000 new IRS agents, Biden administration officials told Americans not to worry. They promised at every turn that these agents would only be set upon those earning over $400,000 a year. (snip) That broken promise comes as no surprise. Earlier this year, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen was cornered into admitting that 90 percent of new audits would affect those earning less than $400,000. The new IG report confirms what Yellen was forced under oath to admit, and what many in Congress knew when they voted for the Inflation Reduction Act.

GOP overwhelmingly stands with US ally:
2023 poll 23 replies
More Democrats in the United States support Palestinians living in Gaza and the West Bank than Israel, the closest U.S. ally in the Middle East, according to a 2023 poll. Democratic sympathies for Palestinians has increased over the last decade, and a Gallup poll published in March 2023 found their affinity toward the Palestinians finally eclipsed their support of Israel, 49% to 38%.
The attitudes from March reflected a continued decline in Israeli support, from 40% to 38% and an 11-point surge of support for Palestinian people, from 38% to 49%.
The 38% support for Israel was a historic low
Babies beheaded, grandparents slain and families torn apart – the full horror of 'Israel's 9/11' was starting to emerge last night.
Hamas gunmen massacred 40 children in one farm settlement alone, their small bodies lying in their rooms riddled with bullets.
And as shellshocked survivors told their stories, one bereaved grandson, Shmuel Harel, told me: 'They are the new Nazis. This was a holocaust, pure and simple.' He said his terrified 90-year-old grandmother's last moments were being dragged into her living room and shot twice in the head.
A sobbing Israeli woman said she had to listen in helpless horror as her 12-year-old autistic daughter was kidnapped
The pipe dream of some Black women in California for the last three years has been getting one of their number into the United States Senate. Black women have been there before, in the persons of Carole Moseley Braun of Illinois, who served from 1993 to 1999, and California’s own Kamala Harris from 2016 until elected vice president in 2020. But for almost four years after Harris’ accession to the nation’s nominal No. 2 political job, there were none. That left a void Gov. Gavin Newsom three years ago vowed to fill if another vacancy arose in a California Senate
The families of four American citizens who are missing and may be hostages after last weekend’s terrorist attacks in Israel are calling on the U.S. leaders to take action to locate their loved ones and to work for their release.
Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, Nahar Neta, whose 66-year-old California-born mother Adriene Neta was hauled off by Hamas terrorists on Saturday, said that President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken are “responsible to bring the U.S. citizens back home safe and sound. We expect nothing less from the U.S. administration.”

Behar Ties Hamas Attack to Trump/Putin Alliance 19 replies
Racist decolonizer Sunny Hostin was back on ABC’s The View on Tuesday spewing more anti-Israel hate as they were in the process of defending themselves from Hamas terrorists. She bloviated about how she found Israeli “anger” “terrifying” and asserted they were going to kill the 2.2. million civilians in Gaza. Sprinkling in some ridiculous conspiracy theories, co-host Joy Behar baselessly suggested the attack was the result of former President Trump’s 2018 Helsinki meeting with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.
Global renewable energy funds saw record outflows of money in the third quarter of 2023 as stocks of wind and solar developers and suppliers crashed amid rising costs, higher interest rates, and supply-chain challenges. Renewable energy exchange traded funds (ETFs), tracking the performance of clean energy companies, suffered a total of $1.4 billion of outflows in the third quarter, the highest outflows of any previous quarter, according to data from LSEG Lipper cited by Reuters.
October 7 was a national nightmare for Israel. The day was marked by a catastrophic terrorist attack that left hundreds of Israelis dead—a shock to the national psyche. This day was Israel’s 9/11, Tet Offensive, and Pearl Harbor rolled up into one. Thanks to assistance and training from Iran, this attack by Hamas, which was several weeks in the making, began with a hellacious rocket barrage that provided cover for a sophisticated land, air, and sea assault along the Gaza border. Around 1,000 terrorists invaded Southern Israel, which led to hours of slaughter, rape, and kidnappings.
Hamas took at least 100 Israelis hostage. The images and videos were ghastly.
President Joe Biden sat down for two days for an interview with Robert K. Hur, the special counsel investigating his handling of classified documents from his time as vice president that were found in his possession.
White House spokesman Ian Sams said the “voluntary interview” concluded Monday.Sams said in a statement:
The voluntary interview was conducted at the White House over two days, Sunday and Monday, and concluded Monday. As we have said from the beginning, the president and the White House are cooperating with this investigation, and as it has been appropriate, we have provided relevant updates publicly, being as transparent as we can
The American Library Association (ALA) president said Sept. 2 at the Socialism 2023 Conference in Chicago that libraries and public schools need to be sites of socialist organizing.

The heady rush of bloodlust that fueled Hamas terrorists on Saturday has begun to wane now that Israel has hung out the “Open for Business” sign. As Robert reported yesterday, Hamas now wants a truce, even while the dead in Israel are still being buried and people there come to terms with those who were murdered, raped, and taken hostage. As the news cycle continues, every hour brings another story of the atrocities committed by Hamas, which have been cheered by people across the world.
