Moment man is DRAGGED out of Hillary Clinton and Democrat Mayoral candidate Sheila Jackson Lee event
[MAIL] A man, who prides himself on catching pedophiles, was dragged out of a Hillary Clinton rally after he bombarded her with questions about Bill Clinton's trips to Epstein island.

Alex Rosen, 23, shared a video of multiple security guards dragging him out of the event where the former US Secretary of State campaigned for Democrat Mayoral candidate Sheila Jackson Lee in Houston, Texas, Friday.

Rosen, an independent journalist and anti-vaccine activist according to his profile, founded Predator Poachers in 2019 to find adults who seek sexual activities with minors.

Rosen can be heard asking loudly in the video: 'Hey, Hillary. Why did your husband visit Epstein Island 26 times?'

Rep. Jamaal Bowman took down emergency exit signs before pulling fire alarm
[NYPOST] Before Rep. Jamaal Firebug Bowman
...sleazy Dem politician and educator, U.S. representative for New York's safe 16th congressional district since 2021. On September 30, 2023, while House Dems were desperately attempting to delay a vote that avoided shutting the government down so they could blame it on the Pubs, Bowman pulled a fire alarm in the Cannon House Office Building, causing the building to be evacuated. Bowman told reporters he thought it was a doorknob or something. Capitol Police released a statement saying they were investigating the fire alarm incident, and maybe a few rubes somewhere expected something to come of it. Republicans introduced a motion to expel Bowman from the House but that evaporated too. Bowman issued a statement saying they were Nazis. Bowman is a member of The Squad, a faction of like-minded subversives...
"accidentally" activated a fire alarm and forced the evacuation of a House office building last month, the far-left politician hastily removed two emergency exit signs from nearby doors, footage released Thursday revealed.

The 47-year-old Bronx and Westchester Democrat then made his way to the alarm on the nearby wall and yanked it before turning on his heel and walking away — still holding one of the signs — rather than trying to go out through the door as he initially claimed.

The video, made public hours after Bowman pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count of falsely pulling a fire alarm, disproves his version of the Sept. 30 debacle.

"I was trying to get to a door. I thought the alarm would open the door, and I pulled the fire alarm to open the door by accident," Bowman said at the time.

"I was just trying to get to my vote and the door that’s usually open wasn’t open, it was closed."

But the footage shows the opposite of Bowman’s version of events. As National Review Online editor Philip Klein put it: "He didn’t pull the fire alarm to open the door; he tried to open the door to sound the fire alarm."

Many politicians, staffers, and news hounds who frequent the Cannon Office Building were puzzled by Bowman’s initial explanation and pointed out that the door he was trying to get through was a clearly marked emergency exit.

"Emergency Exit Only!" the signs taken down by Bowman read. "Push until alarm sounds (3 seconds). Door will unlock in 30 seconds."

Critics were quick to mock Bowman over the new video, with Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) chiding on X: "This is what lawyers would call ’intent.'"

Rep. George Santos pleads not guilty to campaign finance fraud charges
[NYPOST] Lying Long Island Republican Rep. George Santos pleaded not guilty to 10 additional campaign finance fraud charges on Friday during an arraignment hearing in Long Island federal court.

Santos faces a maximum sentence of 22 years in prison if convicted.

On the eve of his appearance, the 35-year-old said he would not resign and was “entitled to due process and not a predetermined outcome as some are seeking.”

The rep from New York’s Third District was likely referring to a resolution to expel him from Congress that fellow Long Island GOP Rep. Anthony D’Esposito introduced on Thursday, along with four other Empire State Republican co-sponsors.

“The superseding indictment that he is going to court tomorrow for is based on his treasurer’s guilty plea,” Rep. Mike Lawler, one of the co-sponsors, told reporters. “So you have now a conviction in this case that very clearly lays out what he did and how he did it.”

The resolution also lists the whoppers Santos told about his personal and professional history, including that his grandparents escaped the Holocaust and his mother narrowly survived the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

It could be voted on as soon as next week.

Biden-appointed U.S. Attorney declined to prosecute Hunter for tax crimes because he was too 'short-staffed'
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] A top Biden-appointed U.S. Attorney has confirmed he declined to prosecute Hunter Biden for tax crimes, bizarrely claiming he was 'resource-strapped' and didn't have enough lawyers to handle the case.

DailyMail.com reviewed the transcript of a closed-door House Judiciary Committee interview with Martin Estrada, the U.S. Attorney for the Central District of Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, which was conducted on Tuesday.

Estrada detailed a phone call he had in October 2022 with David Weiss, the U.S. Attorney in Delaware, who is leading the criminal investigation into Hunter Biden's alleged gun and tax offences.

During the call Weiss asked Estrada to partner with him on the Hunter Biden case - but he declined.

When asked by congressional Sherlocks why he did not pursue charges against the president's son, Estrada said that he was short-staffed.

He said: 'I was down 40 AUSAs (Assistant U.S. Attorneys) at the time, so we were very resource-strapped.

'We were trying to hire as much as possible and had very limited resources. And every attorney you assign to a case means you can't do another case.'

Estrada added: 'And it seemed he (Weiss) didn't push back when I told him the situation, that we wouldn't be co-counseling, but he did express appreciation when I offered administrative support.'

#2  Might want to take a look at priorities if you're "short-stafffed." Or maybe he has, and prosecuting someone whose last name is Biden is very, very low on the priority list.

Young Dems Threaten To Withhold Support For Biden Over His Israel Stance
Brilliant idea! Y’all do that. And remember the old Democrat Machine saying: vote early, vote often.
[DAILYCALLER] Young members of the Democratic party are threatening to withhold their vote from President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. ‘This Is A Man ThatDoes Not Seem Demented’...
ahead of the 2024 election over his support for Israel during their war with the terrorist organization Hamas
...not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
, according to The New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
(NYT).

Since Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel, Biden has pledged the United States’ support to the country, even using an Oval Office address to introduce an aid package that would send funds to Israel. Biden’s unwavering support for Israel may cost him votes in the upcoming presidential election among young Americans who believe the president should have more sympathy for the Paleostinian cause, according to The NYT. (RELATED: Biden Says It Would Be ’Big Mistake’ For Israel To Occupy Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
, Hamas Doesn’t Represent Paleostinians
Given that the residents of Gaza elected Hamas to the Palestinian parliament, Hamas does indeed represent the Palestinians. )
"I feel very betrayed by Biden," Angela Balya, a 28-year-old who was attending a pro-Paleostine protest in Manhattan, told The NYT. "I definitely will not be voting for him again."

The Sunrise Movement, a climate activist group that worked to garner support for Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign, is "raising questions" about whether the organization and other young voters will back the president in his reelection bid, the group’s political director told The NYT.

"If the Democratic Party
...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
and President Biden continue to send weapons and military support to Israel, it threatens to lose our generation, and that’s a very dangerous choice to make ahead of a critical election year," Michele Weindling, the Sunrise Movement’s political director, told the outlet.

#2  The Dems are an amalgamation of issue tribes with conflicting agendas. The globalist plan is dunk our society into a deep frier caldron of conflict so that they can install totalitarian rule. The emerging conflict between blacks and freeloading illegals is an example result of their schizophrenic policy. This will make producing excess Dem votes in the inner city very difficult. People worry about Biden canceling elections, but we had an election in the middle of the Civil War when we were in the midst of self slaughter.
