[NYPOST] Mayor Comrade Bill de Blasio ...cryptocommie mayor of New York and for some reason a Dem candidate for president in 2020. Corrupt and incompetent, his qualifications for office seem to consist of being married to a black woman, with whom he honeymooned in Cuba. He has a preppy-looking son named Dante, whose Divine Comedy involved getting his back hair up when a police car drove past him slowly. New Yorkers voted for him, so they deserve him... says he has "no respect" for one of the most outspoken NYPD union presidents, who has repeatedly attacked the mayor — calling him a "disgrace" and a "liar.""The [Sergeants Benevolent Association] has only practiced division, they foment hatred ... they do not try to help us move forward," de Blasio said Thursday during his daily presser.
"They don’t try to create anything good. I have no respect for the leadership of the SBA."
SBA president Ed Mullins has repeatedly blasted the mayor on social media during his tenure, including once declaring "war" on City Hall — which landed him under investigation.
Most recently, Mullins had attacked de Blasio over his handling of the fallout from the George Floyd protests and the uptick in crime over the last few weeks.
Mullins welcomed de Blasio’s Thursday remarks, quipping, "This is the first time since he’s been in office that he’s told the truth."
"The City knows he hates cops and accountability, thank him for finally being honest," the union honcho added.

Why don't you resign and let the adults take charge?
[FoxNews] Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has been undergoing chemotherapy treatment since May because of a recurrence of cancer, the justice said in a statement Friday.
"I have often said I would remain a member of the Court as long as I can do the job full steam," Ginsburg said. "I remain fully able to do that."
The announcement comes after being discharged from the hospital earlier this week for another health issue.
Her hospitalization this week was unrelated to the cancer treatment, the justice said in the statement. Tuesday's hospital stint was to remove gall stones and treat an infection, the court said. She was discharged one day later.
The liberal justice, 87, has faced a slew of health concerns in recent years. She has previously revealed several bouts with cancer including colorectal, pancreatic and lung cancers.
In Friday's statement, Ginsberg said she began chemotherapy this spring after a periodic scan followed by a biopsy revealed lesions on her liver. The chemotherapy is "yielding positive results," she said, after a July 7 scan indicated a significant reduction of the liver lesions and no new disease.
Ginsberg said she will continue to receive bi-weekly cancer treatment but is able to maintain an "active daily routine."
In May, Ginsburg was hospitalized with an infection caused by a gallstone.
In November, she was admitted to Johns Hopkins Hospital after experiencing chills and a fever.
In 2018, she was hospitalized with three fractured ribs after a fall at her office.

Her 'job' is keeping the seat out of Republican hands as long as humanly possible. Pity too, as by all appearances she is a very sick old lady.
[NYPOST] A coalition of police unions and associations across the country is endorsing President Trump’s re-election bid, recognizing his "steadfast and very public support" of law enforcement officers.
The National Association of Police Organizations, which represents more than 1,000 police units and associations nationwide, threw its support behind Trump in a letter released Wednesday acknowledging his "continued strong support" of cops tasked to protect Americans.
"Our endorsement recognizes your steadfast and very public support for our men and women on the front lines, especially during this time of unfair and inaccurate opprobrium being directed at our members by so many," wrote the group’s president, Michael McHale.
The group also praised Trump for directing Attorney General Bill Barr to "aggressively prosecute those who attack our officers," a reference to ongoing nationwide protests against racial injustice in the aftermath of George Floyd’s police-custody death, some of which have included violence against coppers.
The endorsement by the association — which met with Trump on Monday — comes after it did not back a candidate in the 2016 election, Fox News reports. It did, however, support former President Barack Obama That’s just how white folks will do you.... and Vice President Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden ...I had the great honor of being arrested with our UN Ambassador on the streets of Soweto, trying to get to see him on Robbens Island... in both the 2008 and 2012 elections.

They're discovering, like so many Christians have, he's the only thing between them and le déluge.
[Free Beacon] Think this'll get ANY play in MSM?
A former Iranian hostage who was tortured by the oppressive regime slammed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden for abandoning him and other detainees while the Obama administration pursued the landmark nuclear deal with Tehran. Joe: "Listen, Fat! Gotta break a few eggs.. if you wanna make IKEA Furniture."
Nizar Zakka, a Lebanese national who was detained in Iran from 2015 to 2019 on charges he spied for the United States, lashed out on Tuesday at Biden after the former vice president accused President Donald Trump of treating Egyptian president Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi as his "favorite dictator."
"With all due respect Mr. Biden, I don't think you are well-positioned to comment on this subject," Zakka tweeted. "I never comment on politics but this one was too much. You left us behind in Iran. Remember? Tehran?"
Zakka was referring to the Obama administration's decision to refrain from demanding that Iran release hostages during sensitive diplomatic talks that eventually led to the nuclear agreement. The former administration was criticized for avoiding thorny topics like hostages as part of its efforts to court the Islamic Republic.
Biden sought to criticize Trump this week for what he claimed is the administration's close relationship with Egyptian leader Al-Sisi. The comments came after Egypt freed Mohamed Amashah, a medical student who had been detained for more than a year.
"Mohamed Amashah is finally home after 486 days in Egyptian prison for holding a protest sign," Biden tweeted. "Arresting, torturing, and exiling activists like Sarah Hegazy and Mohamed Soltan or threatening their families is unacceptable. No more blank checks for Trump's ‘favorite dictator.'"

[IsraelTimes] Antone Melton-Meaux, one of four challengers in the August 11 Democratic primary, has fundraised nationally in part by rebuking Omar for her anti-Israel stances.
House Speaker Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments... has lent her considerable political weight to the reelection bid of Rep. Ilhan Omar ...Somali-American Dem representative from Minnesota. She was apparently married to her brother and may be her own grandmaw on her mother's side... , who has faced allegations of invoking anti-Semitism.
Meanwhile, ...back at the precinct house, Fat Tony demanded his rosco back. He didn't say please... an opponent in the Democrat primary who has attracted the support of pro-Israel givers nationwide has outraised Omar by millions of dollars.
"Ilhan is a valued and important Member of our Caucus," Pelosi said Tuesday in a statement. "In her first term, Ilhan has already established herself as a leader on a host of issues — from child nutrition to housing to US-Africa relations."
Pelosi was among Democrats in 2019 who joined in criticizing Omar for a number of statements about pro-Israel influence that were seen as anti-Semitic. Omar apologized for some but not all of the statements.
Antone Melton-Meaux,
... a lawyer, husband to a medical professor surgeon, Progressive and pro-immigrant like Ilhan Omar, but unlike her very connected to Progressive African-American politics nationally and locally...
one of four Democrats challenging Omar in the August 11 primary for Minnesota’s 5th congressional district, has fundraised nationally in part by rebuking Omar for her stances on Israel, including support for boycotts of the Jewish state.
The Minneapolis Star Tribune reported Tuesday that Melton-Meaux had raised $3.2 million in the last quarter while Omar had brought in $472,000.
The newspaper said he attracted money from pro-Israel groups like nonpartisan NORPAC, which held a virtual fundraiser for Melton-Meaux in May.

Falling behind in fundraising- yep, when Omar 'the campaign' is funneling $ out of the campaign and to your husband du jour's PR firm, I do believe that would happen.
