What a Leftist Means by 'Freedom'
Posted By: Mercedes44, 9/25/2024 10:57:09 AM
Any Leftist, any Democrat, will tell you they believe in freedom. Of course they do. Even the Chinese believe in “freedom.” It’s the Donald (“Hitler”) Trumps who are trying to destroy our “freedom” and “democracy.” Everybody else believes in freedom. And that can be confusing. The conundrum is, a Leftist doesn’t mean by “freedom” what traditional, God-fearing Americans mean by “freedom.” If you talk to a Leftist about “freedom,” you will probably both use the same word. And that Leftist will almost surely say that “Trump will destroy our freedom!” But unless you understand what Lefty means by the word “freedom,”

The federal five-count indictment of New York Mayor Eric Adams is on its face a damning document of alleged public corruption. The government is alleging that Turkish officials saw Adams as a rising star in the Democratic Party and started to groom him for influence.
However, once beyond the details of the opulent rooms and flight upgrades, there may be less here than meets the eye in some of these charges.
The campaign-contribution violations raise serious problems for Adams in the alleged solicitation of unlawful foreign contributions. Yet the counts must be read with caution.
Two more in Mayor Eric Adams’ inner circle are expected to be named among others in a historic indictment set to be unsealed Thursday morning, The Post has learned.
Brianna Suggs, the key fundraiser during Adams’ 2021 mayoral campaign, and Winnie Greco, his director of Asian affairs, are expected to be named in the indictment.
It was unclear whether Suggs and Greco would be charged or just named.
At least three others are also expected to be charged, though The Post could not immediately confirm their identities.
From New York to Chicago and the Denver suburbs, migrant gangs are mugging, raping, robbing stores, running brothels next door to elementary schools, and threatening apartment dwellers with guns to take over residential buildings, all without fear of being deported. The gangs are turning neighborhoods into hellholes.
Blame insane "sanctuary" laws.
The word "sanctuary" sounds charitable. Don't be fooled. It doesn't mean welcoming the downtrodden. It actually bars police from sharing arrest information with Immigration and Customs Enforcement so that the agency can take illegals arrested for violent crimes into custody and deport them.

He’s the NYPD’s oldest retired gumshoe, still plays the harmonica and remembers the day he met famed bank robber Willie Sutton — who happened to be half-naked at the time.
Howard Bach, who turned 100 in July, joined the police force in 1948 after serving as a US sailor for four years on the USS Mississippi in the Pacific during World War II. He retired from the NYPD in 1978 after 30 years on the job.
“It was quite an experience,” Bach told The Post of his NYPD career.
Lindsay Graham Travels To Nebraska To Convince Lawmakers To Revert To Winner-Take-All Electoral System by: Sterling Mosley 09.19.2024 On Wednesday, Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-SC) traveled to Nebraska to convince Republican legislators that the state should revert to a winner-take-all system rather than the current system that allocates electors via the popular vote and congressional districts. Graham's visit to the state is the latest attempt by Republicans to give Trump a slight advantage in the 2024 race by giving him one more electoral college vote that could win him the White House.
The Palestinian cause is a top priority for Saudi Arabia, and we reiterate the kingdom’s rejection and strong condemnation of the crimes committed by the Israeli occupation authorities against the Palestinian people, in disregard of international and humanitarian law in a new and bitter chapter of suffering,” he said. We extend our thanks to the countries that recognised the Palestinian state in embodiment of international legitimacy, and we urge the rest of the countries to take similar steps,” he said.
The crown prince, known by his initials MBS, made his remarks in his annual address to the Consultative Assembly of Saudi Arabia, more commonly called the Shura Council.
When I was a young man fresh into my teens, I was still in the thrall of the various left-wing philosophies, including the pro-choice movement. I even marched through the streets of my city in a pro-choice protest, shouting, "Women have died because of Hyde!" This, of course, was in reference to the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits federal funding for abortions except in cases of rape or incest or if the abortion is needed to save the life of the mother. I was young, indoctrinated, and confident that I stood on the moral high ground. I firmly believed that I was supporting women's rights and reproductive freedom.
Former Navy SEAL Johnathan Gilliam appeared on FOX News to discuss the latest assassination attempts against the life of President Trump.
After outlining the reality of President Trump’s perimeter proximity not being secured by Secret Service, Mr Gilliam expands the conversation to ask if this is continual mistakes or whether a systemic security issue exists. Gilliam notes the rhetoric of the Democrat Party over the last several years that support the contention that “democrats want President Trump dead,” Fox News host Stuart Varney gets upset calling such a perspective “a conspiracy theory.” Immediately thereafter the interview was ended.
O]ne of the key fronts in this war is not in the Middle East. It's in the United States.
[T]he political battle over the war in Gaza has been going pretty much the way the terrorists wanted it to. That's reflected in Mashaal's confidence, as well as Hamas's negotiating tactics and its strategy in Gaza. After Oct. 7, the terrorists have been doing nothing but playing for time. And they expected that the time they needed to outlast the Israeli offensive would be provided to them by Israel's closest ally.
But No Boycotts on Russia, China or Iran:

[T]he UK government announced that it is imposing an "immediate" weapons embargo against Israel. The statement followed almost a year of relentless attacks on Israel, not only by Iran's proxies -- Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis -- but by Iran itself, and probably several tons of unverified propaganda by Hamas that Israel is supposedly committing "war crimes."
Even South Africa is seeking to extend the deadline for presenting evidence against Israel at the International Court of Justice, for lack of evidence of its allegations of genocide. So far, all evidence points to Israel being "the world's most moral army." Meanwhile, the same cannot be said for the entities attacking it.

Failed 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton doubled down this week on calling half of former President Donald Trump’s supporters a “basket of deplorables.”
Clinton reflected on the infamous and divisive comment she made during a fundraiser in 2016 in a Washington Post op-ed published on Wednesday, adapted from her new book Something Lost, Something Gained: Reflections on Life, Love, and Liberty. In the article, the former secretary of state recalled a meeting she had with a former white supremacist who now works to deprogram people leaving hate groups as an entry to discuss her “deplorables” comment, and said the term is “too kind a word”

London’s Labour Party Mayor Sadiq Khan is urging Americans not to reelect Donald Trump in what is a clear example of foreign election interference.
Democrats in the United States spent years pushing the idea that foreign election interference from Russia and other international actors got Trump elected in 2016. Where are they now?
Of course, anyone who has looked at what has become of London on Khan’s watch might consider this as a campaign contribution to Trump.

Coca-Cola is facing boycott calls after people on social media revealed that the company was not allowing “Trump 2024” or “Jesus” to be placed on the cans.
While people attempting to personalize cans with messages such as, “Trump 2024” or “Jesus loves you,” have received messages stating that the name is “not approved,” other messages such as “Harris Walz 2024,” “Satan” and “Allah” were reportedly allowed, according to the Daily Mail. Messages supporting Vice President Kamala Harris, satan, and Allah were reportedly allowed prior to the company fixing a “glitch,” according to the outlet.
Hooters - known for its scantily-clad waitresses - is the latest American restaurant chain facing financial problems.
Bosses at the chain are in urgent talks with lenders and advisers as the popular chain tries to address $300 million of debts, Bloomberg reported Wednesday.
Earlier this year, Hooters shuttered around 40 'underperforming' restaurants including locations Florida, Kentucky, Rhode Island, Texas and Virginia as it bid to cut costs. But debts are mounting and more drastic action is needed for the 41-year-old brand.
If Hooters cannot refinance its debt, it would have to consider bankruptcy and more closures.
Some 127 Pizza Hut restaurants across five states in the South and Midwest are at risk of closing for good.
The franchisee who runs them has put them up for sale after filing for bankruptcy in July due to mounting debts..
It is all linked to a major financial bust-up between Pizza Hut's parent company and franchisee EYM Group. Some 15 Pizza Hut locations that EYM ran in Indiana and Ohio were abruptly shuttered at the end of June as a result of the dispute. They remain closed.
EYM has now asked advisory firm National Franchise Sales to help find a buyer for a further 127
On January 6, 2021, nearly five hours passed between the breach of the Capitol perimeter and the arrival of a National Guard contingent ready and waiting to deploy just ten minutes away. Had the National Guard arrived within that first hour, “January 6” would have no more historical resonance than any other day on the calendar.
Any number of people bear the blame for this calamitous security failure, but that list does not include the two most frequently cited scapegoats, the D.C. National Guard or President Donald Trump.
Of the thousands of words of sworn testimony, some of the most revealing came from Colonel Earl Matthews.
A senior Biden-Harris official was reportedly infuriated last week after Israel ignored his advice and launched a series of attacks against Hezbollah.
The Biden-Harris administration has become increasingly concerned that a full-scale war between Israel and Hezbollah is set to erupt, as the two have been locked in a conflict that has grown in both scope and severity over the Israeli-Lebanese border in recent weeks. Biden senior adviser Amos Hochstein in recent months has been serving as an envoy to mediators in the Middle East to try to keep tensions low between Israel and Hezbollah while also negotiating a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas,

A judge on Thursday unsealed a federal indictment against New York Mayor Eric Adams accusing him of taking bribes and illegal campaign contributions from foreign sources. Adams’s residence was searched earlier in the day.
Adams faces five criminal charges, including conspiracy to commit wire fraud, prosecutors said in the indictment. Adams is accused of accepting benefits from foreign businesspeople and a Turkish government official who officials said were trying to influence him.
The mayor, who became the first New York City mayor to be criminally charged while in office, issued a video statement Wednesday denying the prosecutors’ claims. The accusations, he added, are “entirely false” and “based on lies.”

Stephanie Ruhle, Who Admits Harris Didn't
Answer Questions 17 replies
Stephanie Ruhle appeared on Friday on Bill Maher's "Real Time" show and, incredibly, argued that people shouldn't demand or expect answers from Kamala Harris on the issues since she was running against former President Donald Trump. It was a ridiculous position for someone who claimed to be a journalist arguing against the questioning of a presidential candidate because she supported her.
So perhaps it's not surprising that Harris who has given very few interviews then gave Ruhle an interview. Harris no doubt thought she could walk through a softball interview with Ruhle after what Ruhle said. She knew she could count on not being pressed, given what Ruhle said.
WASHINGTON – China sought to cover up the sinking of its newest nuclear-powered submarine, according to a senior US defense official.
The sinking at a shipyard earlier this year was first reported by The Wall Street Journal, which also says that satellite imagery later showed large floating cranes arriving to salvage it.
“It’s not surprising that the PLA Navy would try to conceal the fact that their new first-in-class nuclear-powered attack submarine sank pierside,” the senior US defense official says on condition of anonymity, referring to Beijing’s People’s Liberation Army Navy. "In addition to the obvious questions about training standards and equipment quality, the incident raises deeper questions
