Cincinnati City Leader Caught Publicly Cheering for Vicious Beating of Whites, Wrote They Had It Coming

Quote by Councilwoman Victoria Parks: “They begged for that beat down! I am grateful for the whole story,” 1. It appears the after an night of drinking, a white man insulted some black people using racial epithets and the group turned into a mob and beat the man managed to escape the beating but a middle aged woman who tried to stop the violence was sucker punched by a man who would have none of it. This brave warrior knocked "Holly" out with one vicious punch. Hooray for black supremacy!

I do not mean to be flippant. "The flames were stoked through the deaths of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, and George Floyd." 2. Is this behavior to get even with years of oppression and the deaths of many black men at the hands of whites? I fear that this is so and I fear that many black people have not forgotten and do not want to get along as Martin Luther King professed.

I am appalled by the attitude of Councilwoman Parks as she revels in the beatdown of her constituents. Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't it the job of the City Council to protect and defend their constituents? One might say she did just that by glorifying the beatdown of whites who may have voted for her.

 

The response from the Police Chief of Cincinnati regarding the mayhem was pathetic. The Chief blamed Social Media (not the lack of almost 200 officers.) 3. The Chief also complained that they got only one phone call about the fighting.  " Prosecutor Connie Pillich lets off lowlifes with $400 bail, Rep. Greg Landsman silent & posting about Ukraine, City Council member blames the victim." 4. To say that Cincinnati has problems is an understatement.

 

Rumor has it that Parks will step down at the end of her term. Apparently, the heat from the people is too much to bear so she is leaving the shambles of her city for others to deal with.

Current Events: Who Is Really Interfering With Food Shipment to Gaza?

THIS shocking footage released by the Israeli military appears to show gun-toting Hamas militants looting an aid truck in Gaza.

The Legacy Media claims that Israel is holding up food shipments to Gaza. Have a look at the picture at the top of this article. Those are Hamas killers taking control of this truckload of food provided by Israel and other countries for the people of Gaza. 1.

Please, loyal readers, remember why this is happening. Israel was attacked on October 7th, 2023 on the Sabbath during The Holliday, Simchas Torah. (Celebrating the giving of the Torah from G-d to the Israelites.) Hamas poured into Southern Israel and slaughtered thousands of Jews, men, women and children. The burned babies in a microwave. They raped women, the beheaded and dismembered others. These beasts are not warriors. They are worse than the wildest of animas. They laughed and enjoyed the carnage.

Now the Media would have you believe the Jews are deliberately starving the children of Gaza. We all know this is a lie promulgated by Hamas to make Israel look bad. I may be making a mistake. Some of you may think the Israelis are starving the children. How about this for my argument? Do you hear about or see any undernourished men in Gaza? Not only no, but Hell no! You can be certain the men of Gaza are not going hungry. They my not be dining as they have been used to in the past but the first food goes to the men.

The starving children of Gaza is a propaganda measure to stave off the Israelis annihilating Hamas and turning Gaza over to the resident who need relief from the terror.

If you will go to the SUN news site you will read much more about this travesty. At least look at the pictures. They tell a tale.

Current Events: How Barack Obama, the Media and the Democrat Party Tried to Stop Trump's Presidency.

In my opinion, Donald Trump has released the dogs of the Russia Collusion Case and Barack Obama's involvement to deflect from the Epstein Case. In order to substantiate my assessment I will list in the resources of at least two differing media opinions about this matter.

"The witch hunt that you should be talking about is (that) they caught President Obama, absolutely cold," Trump said. 

Minutes later, Trump said Obama "was trying to lead a coup, and it was with Hillary Clinton, with all these other people, but Obama headed it up." Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee, lost to Trump in that election. 1.

In the above quote we see Donald Trump calling out Barack Obama for leading the attempted coup to oust Trump from the Presidency by green lighting the media, Congress and anyone else that feared or hated Donald Trump. Politifact, a well known lefty online Publication comes to Obama's rescue, but the facts say otherwise.

 

On July 17, Gabbard declassified government emails and reports that she said showed Obama officials "manipulated and withheld" intelligence information. Gabbard’s office said July 18, "Obama and his national security cabinet members manufactured and politicized intelligence to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President Trump." 2.

 

On the other side of this question we have an article in PJ Media by Matt Margolis.

 

As PJ Media previously reported, the Obama administration manufactured intelligence to create the 2016 Russian election interference narrative, and the conspiracy went all the way to the top. 

And by “the top,” that means then-President Barack Obama.

When he spoke to the media on December 16, 2016, a week after receiving a classified intelligence assessment that Russian interference had no impact on the election outcome, Obama stepped before the press to quietly plant the seeds of what would become the Russia collusion hoax. With carefully chosen words and insinuations, he laid the groundwork for Democrats, the media, and the intelligence bureaucracy to spend the next four years undermining a duly elected president. 3.

 

President Donald Trump meets with Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., in the Oval Office of the White House, July 22, 2025, in Washington. (AP)

Margolis, who is praised by Mark Levin, “He’s a great columnist. I think he’s terrific.”, goes on to make the case that Obama was the one who gathered the troupes and provided them with enough false and misleading information to get the ball rolling to tarnish Trumps' image by claiming he got help from Vladimir Putin to win the election of 2016.

If this subject interests you I recommend you read both articles and make up your own mind as to who is telling the truth, Obama or Trump.

As for my premise that Trump has released this information early to take the Epstein matter off the headlines; what do you think about that?

Current Events: Proof That Protestors Are Being Paid

Advocacy group CEO claims he was offered $20 million to recruit protesters for anti-Trump demonstrations

For years we have heard that protestors have been paid. Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and a host of others activists have caused damage, fires and bodily harm. The Liberal Press, media and the Democrat Party have claimed these protests are spontaneous incidents that are not planned and paid for by doners, and oligarchs like George Soros.

Fox News has put out a piece documenting what this is like and I have chosen to post the article here. Read on for the info.

CEO admits rejecting offer because demonstrations would 'make us all look bad' as 1,500 events planned across country

 

The CEO of an advocacy group said his organization turned down an offer that he said would have been worth around $20 million to help recruit for a national rally against President Donald Trump. 

"Interests aligned with the organizers of the July 17th movement have approached us and, in fact, we rejected an offer that probably is worth around $20 million dollars," Adam Swart, the CEO and founder of Crowds on Demand, told NewsNation’s Brian Entin in an interview that aired on Tuesday. 

 

On Thursday, protests around the country are being planned against Trump, spearheaded by Good Trouble Lives On, a group that calls itself a peaceful and nonviolent protest and social change organization. They are planning to oppose Trump and what they call on their website "the most brazen rollback of civil rights in generations."

The protests planned for Thursday also take place on the fifth anniversary of the death of former Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., a civil rights leader who routinely referred to protests as

"President Trump’s America is so successful that blue-haired basement dwellers are paid to stage fake protests against the administration’s remarkable achievements," Harrison Fields, special assistant to the President and principal deputy press secretary, said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "Paid agitators should find real jobs instead of selling out for gift cards and meager paychecks that aim to divide the nation and obstruct America’s greatest comeback. Nothing screams a party in disarray more than one that clearly lacks organic support and is forced to astroturf everything."

Left-wing riots in Los Angeles resulting in violence, including the burning of the American flag and the assault of law enforcement officers, as well as the "No Kings Day" protests across the country, have recently made headlines. 1.

Alan Dershowitz Alleges Epstein List is Being Withheld Amid DOJ Denials; ‘I Know the Names’

We all know something is fishy about the Epstein Case. A cursory look at what happened on the night Jeffery Epstein died alerts us that the facts do not say suicide. The facts smack of murder and in the most obvious way; as though the perpetrators didn't care what the scene looked like. The killer/killers knew they would never be caught.

There is just too much coincidence for us to believe that Epstein killed himself. Come on man! The guards were asleep, the cameras did not work, no on checked on him. The public is not that stupid. We know this is murder and a cover-up. The perp/perps didn't even do a good job of covering up their dastardly deed. The whole scene reeks of fake!

This is not to say that Epstein did not deserve his day in court. He did, as evil as he was. Something else is going on here and we all know it. Even with Kash Patel and Dan Bongino first saying that there was no client list and then having second thoughts, and threatening to resign.

Here is my take on it:

 

In my opinion, the client list exposes some very high ranking doners , congressmen, senators, and other high ranking officials who would lose their jobs, reputations, and face jailtime if the evidence got out. Let's not forget high ranking officials from other countries. Some names have been floated as to who they are. There is so much political will and power afoot here that the pressure to suppress is unbelievable. The big guys have circled the wagons and everyone has gone underground. Now Pam Bondi is sitting there with all the goods to incarcerate the bad guys and she is caught between a rock and a hard place. 

 

Here is Alan Dershowitz's word on this:

Alan Dershowitz has come forward with claims that sensitive documents are being kept from the public in an effort to protect powerful individuals. 

In a recent interview with Sean Spicer, Dershowitz, a legal expert, said he has personally reviewed Epstein-related files and alleged that certain names are being shielded.

“Documents are being suppressed to protect individuals,” he said. “I know the names of the individuals.” 

“I know why they’re being suppressed. I know who’s suppressing them. But I’m bound by confidentiality.”

Dershowitz’s comments follow a statement from the FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ), which insisted that no Epstein “client list” exists.

A recently issued memo by both agencies claimed there is no record of Epstein maintaining such a list and reaffirmed that there is no credible evidence of blackmail or coercion involving elite figures.

Federal officials also reiterated that Epstein’s death in 2019 was ruled a suicide and that the case, while deeply troubling, has not uncovered any systemic efforts to hide wrongdoing by public figures.

Despite those assurances, public skepticism remains high. 

Many Americans have long questioned whether critical information about Epstein’s connections has been deliberately concealed. 

Dershowitz’s remarks have only intensified those concerns, according to Trending Politics.

At a White House press briefing earlier this week, press secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed growing questions about the supposed client list. 

She defended the actions of the FBI and DOJ, calling the administration’s efforts the most aggressive pursuit of Epstein-related accountability to date, as Resist the Mainstream reported on Tuesday.

Leavitt also clarified remarks made by Attorney General Pam Bondi, who previously said that the client list was “sitting on her desk.” 

According to Leavitt, that statement referred to the broader collection of case files, not a specific list of names. 

She added that some documents remain unreleased due to their disturbing content, including child exploitation materials deemed unsuitable for public release.

Although the DOJ memo attempted to close the door on speculation surrounding a client list, many critics are unconvinced. 

Advocacy groups, journalists and members of the public continue to demand greater transparency. 

They argue that the official narrative conflicts with multiple witness accounts and reporting that suggest a more extensive network of high-profile individuals may have been involved in Epstein’s activities.

Dershowitz, who has himself been tangentially linked to the Epstein scandal but denies wrongdoing, has consistently pushed for the full disclosure of documents related to the investigation. 

His latest claims, while made under confidentiality constraints, have added weight to public suspicion that the federal government is withholding key details.

The Trump administration has emphasized that ongoing reviews of the Epstein case are underway and that all non-sensitive files will be made available when appropriate. 

FBI Director Kash Patel and Bondi have both expressed their commitment to completing a full review of the materials.

As debate continues over what information should be made public, legal observers caution that a lack of transparency could further erode public trust. 1.

Joe Rogan visibly shaken by doctor's bombshell claims about the pandemic: 'They were euthanized'

Joe Rogan was visibly shaken by Dr Mary Talley Bowden's claims that COVID-19 patients were 'often' euthanized during the pandemic by medical staff who thought 'they're going to die anyway'

Graces Schrara was an avid Elvis Prestly fan. She it pictuered here at Graceland in 2017

The claims by Dr. Bowden are shocking and astounding. It is exreamly hard to get your head around what was done durning Covid to treat so many sick patients. We know about New York City and what governor Andrew Cuomo did with the elderly and the nursing homes. That was bad enough. Dr. Bowden blows the lid off a terrible miscarrige of US health services. I have reprinted an article posted in the Daily Mail so you can read about it.

 

Joe Rogan was visibly shaken after a controversial doctor claimed that healthcare workers were secretly euthanizing critically ill patients during the COVID pandemic.

Dr Mary Talley Bowden alleged on the June 10 episode of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast that hospital staff throughout the US gave COVID-19 patients morphine and insulin in order to end their lives quickly. 

According to Dr Bowden, a board-certified ear, nose, and throat doctor in Houston, Texas, said this was a 'common' practice and was done to clear bed space in hospitals for other patients with a better chance of surviving COVID.

 

Dr Bowden has drawn widespread criticism for her previous claims about vaccines causing health problems and unproven COVID treatments, but her new allegations focused on an actual wrongful death case in Wisconsin that has just gone to trial.

The family of Grace Schara, 19, is claiming that their daughter, who also had Down Syndrome, died of a fatal morphine injection on October 13, 2021 after being taken to St Elizabeth Hospital in Appleton with COVID-19.

Moreover, the family claims that hospital staff placed a 'Do Not Resuscitate' order (DNR) on Grace's medical chart without their consent before giving her a lethal dose of morphine.

'Wait, wait, wait. So they were in the hospital with COVID and they gave them something to kill them?' a shocked Rogan asked.

'Yeah. That happened often. I'm sorry, but I mean, that happened... They basically euthanized her,' Dr Bowden replied.

 

The doctor in charge of Grace's care has denied in court that he ever placed a DNR on the teen's medical chart without consent. 

Dr Bowden said she studied several medical charts like Schara's during the pandemic, and cited another severe COVID case involving a man who was struggling to breathe but had no symptoms of physical pain.

On a scale of zero to 10 in terms of his pain, the man replied zero, but was allegedly given morphine anyway by a doctor.

Dr Bowden then told Rogan the patient was given a dose of insulin despite having normal blood sugar readings.

Insulin is a hormone used to lower blood sugar (glucose), which the brain and body rely on to function.

It can be deadly if given in excessive amounts, especially to someone with normal or low blood sugar because it causes severe hypoglycemia (dangerously low blood sugar). Dr Bowden note that three minutes later, the man was dead.

The podcast guest claimed she found evidence of improper treatment and reported the responsible doctor to that state's medical board.

'They didn't do anything. But yeah, it definitely went on during COVID,' the doctor revealed.

'That is such a terrifying thought that someone would just decide so many people are dying. This guy's definitely going to die,' a stunned Rogan replied.

 

Dr Bowden did not provide any details regarding where this incident took place or who allegedly administered the fatal injections.

The otolaryngologist has repeatedly questioned the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, particularly mRNA vaccines, and has claimed that the shots actually led to more injuries and illnesses among vaccinated individuals.

She also has promoted controversial COVID treatments like ivermectin, which Rogan admitted that he took during the pandemic.

The Texas Medical Board filed a complaint against Dr Bowden in June 2023 for standard of care violations, unprofessional conduct, and promoting disproven treatments.

Her claims that euthanasia was a common occurrence in hospitals overwhelmed by COVID patients were boosted when the Schara family's case went before a judge this month.

Grace's family is suing Ascension Health, one of the largest non-profit healthcare systems in the US, for medical battery and negligence.

St Elizabeth Hospital, five doctors, four unnamed medical providers, two registered nurses, and the Wisconsin Injured Patients and Families Compensation Fund have also been named in the lawsuit by the Schara family.

DailyMail.com has reached out to the Schara family and Ascension Health for comment. 

 

Grace's father, Scott Schara, and the family's attorney, Warner Mendenhall, told the Daily Mail they're barred from commenting on the case until a verdict is reached.

In his opening statement, Mendenhall said: 'Grace Schara was killed by a deadly injection while dozens of clinical personnel stood aside and did nothing.'

Testimony given by the family's medical expert argued that Grace failed to be correctly diagnosed and died from a morphine overdose as a result of the unauthorized DNR order, not COVID-related pneumonia. 

The doctor and registered nurse in charge of Grace's care were among the first witnesses to testify in the wrongful death trial last week.

Dr Gavin Shokar and Hollee McInnis testified that they were in regular contact with the Schara family, with Dr Shokar adding that he 'never unilaterally placed a DNR order on a patient's chart.' The case is expected to continue into late June.

Dr Bowden added that the Schara family's lawsuit is a rare case that may be capable of defeating the PREP Act, a law created in 2005 that protects doctors and hospitals from wrongdoing.

During the COVID pandemic, the law was used to protect healthcare workers and companies making vaccines or treatments from lawsuits over side-effects or mistakes, as long as they followed emergency guidelines.1.

US prepares for long war with China that might hit its bases, homeland: Peter Apps

 

 

 

This is an article sent to me by a freind whi finds information that is relevant to current events. You may or may not want to delve into this subject, however, it will be front page news before long.

LONDON, May 16 (Reuters) - Earlier this month, U.S. Air Force Brigadier General Doug Wickert summoned nearby civic leaders to Edwards Air Force Base in California to warn them that if China attacks Taiwan in the coming years, they should be prepared for their immediate region to suffer potentially massive disruption from the very start.

In a remarkable briefing shared by the base on social media and promoted in a press release, Wickert - one of America's most experienced test pilots now commanding the 412th Test Wing - outlined China's rapid military growth and preparations to fight a major war.

The Reuters Tariff Watch newsletter is your daily guide to the latest global trade and tariff news. Sign up here.

 

Cutting-edge U.S. aircraft manufactured in California’s nearby “Aerospace Valley”, particularly the B-21 “Raider” now replacing the 1990s B-2 stealth bomber, were key to keeping Beijing deterred, he said. However, if deterrence failed that meant China’s would likely strike the U.S. including nearby Northrop Grumman factories where those planes were built.

"If this war happens, it's going to happen here," Wickert told them, suggesting attacks could include a cyber offensive that included long-term disruption to power supplies and other national infrastructure. "It's going to come to us. That is why we are having this conversation... The more ready we are, the more likely to change Chairman Xi’s calculus."

Senior U.S. officials have repeatedly briefed that they believe Chinese President Xi Jinping has ordered his military to be ready to invade Taiwan by 2027, although they say no direct decision appears to have been made yet to order that attack.

As Washington and Beijing square up for that potential fight, their military preparations - now taking place on an industrial scale on both sides in a manner not seen in decades - are themselves becoming a form of posturing and messaging.

Chinese officials deny they are working on a tight specific timeline. However, Beijing has become increasingly assertive in its sovereignty claims over the island where Nationalist leader Chiang Kai-shek set up his government in exile after losing the Chinese Civil War in 1949.

Ever since the 1979 U.S. recognition of the China’s communist government as the country's legitimate rulers, successive administrations have maintained "strategic ambiguity" over whether they would intervene if democratically governed Taiwan was attacked. The Taiwan Relations Act passed the same year, however, commits the U.S. military to having updated plans to prevent any effort from Beijing to change the status quo.

While President Donald Trump has said he will never make a solid commitment one way or another – unlike predecessor Joe Biden who had gone further than any recent president in pledging to fight for Taiwan if it was attacked – a recently leaked official strategy document described deterring a Chinese attack as the Pentagon’s top priority.

That means ensuring the U.S. is both visibly and genuinely prepared for what might be a long and brutal fight. As one senior U.S. officer put it this columnist this month: “If China attacks Taiwan and we decide to intervene, that is not a war that is likely to be over quickly."

Such a conflict would likely see both casualties and destruction on a scale that would far outstrip anything in the "war on terror" conflicts that followed the September 11, 2001 attacks.

REBUILDING WARTIME AIRSTRIPS

Across the Philippines and western Pacific, U.S. military engineers are now rebuilding sometimes long-unused airstrips dating back to World War Two, intending to deploy small groups of aircraft to many places at once to maximise survivability.

Beijing has invested heavily in what are termed “Anti-Access Area Denial” (A2AD) capabilities, mainly long-range missiles, with an intention of keeping U.S. warships - particularly aircraft carriers - out of its nearby waters. That would make U.S. aircraft flying from bases slightly further out even more important - but Beijing would likely hit those locations too.

Showing Beijing that the U.S. and its regional allies – principally Japan, South Korea, the Philippines and Australia – have both the capacity and willpower to handle those attacks and keep on fighting is now growing part of U.S. messaging.

Images and video from military drills held in recent weeks on the Japanese island of Okinawa – part of the “first island chain” that also includes Taiwan – showed U.S. Air Force combat engineers ready with bulldozers and construction equipment to immediately fix damaged runways and other essential systems.

This month, the Washington Times quoted a senior U.S. defence official saying that the U.S. territory of Guam would be a "major target of Chinese missile strikes" in the opening stages of any war around Taiwan.

The Pentagon has invested more than $7 billion of additional construction work on the territory, with Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth describing the 6,400 U.S. military personnel stationed there as "the tip of the spear" in the Indo Pacific.

"We're going to learn a lot (from the air defence systems on Guam) and apply them to defences on the continental United States," Hegseth told reporters and civic officials, adding that the U.S. would respond to an attack on Guam as it would for any other strike on its territory.

The new Trump administration has made building up missile defence for the continental United States – the so-called “Golden Dome” system – a top priority, designed to intercept both conventional and nuclear long-range weaponry.

Guam Governor Lou Leon Guerrero welcomed Hegseth’s comments, but expressed concern that the territory – which also provides support for other islands and independent territories – was ill-prepared for either major conflict or natural disaster, with its only hospital having less than thirty beds.

Some officials now believe those preparations should extend to being ready to handle the aftermath of one or more limited nuclear strikes from China or North Korea, which they now believe could be a feature of any coming war without wider escalation to a much larger exchange of atomic weapons devastating larger targets such as cities.

That was one of the findings of a recent series of wargames conducted by the Atlantic Council including current and former U.S. officials. The resulting report concluded that there was a growing risk that any Chinese attack against Taiwan might also be accompanied by North Korea moving against the South (or indeed that any war launched by North Korea might be taken by Beijing as an opportunity to move against Taiwan).

THINKING THE UNTHINKABLE

A report to Congress last July examining the risk of simultaneous conflict with Russia, China, North Korea and potentially Iran reached a similar conclusion, warning that the U.S. population was not sufficiently prepared for the disruptions in supplies and services such a conflict might produce, through cyber attacks and interruption of supply chains.

Keeping supplies coming would almost certainly a challenge for both sides. The U.S. Indo Pacific Command has talked repeatedly about using smaller and larger drones, including robot submarines, to create a “Hellscape” in the Taiwan Strait to block Chinese forces.

Still, U.S. commanders acknowledge China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) now has its own hefty ability to target U.S. planes and ships, rendering it vital to forward locate equipment and weapons stocks early in advance – particularly as China’s missile range improves.

This month, head of U.S. Indo Pacific command Admiral Sam Paparo said the “depth and range” of China’s military drills were now increasing fast, including exercises to invade and blockade Taiwan while also striking port and energy facilities.

Beijing is also publicly highlighting its ability to conduct such actions, presenting them as a key part of seizing the island. "If Taiwan loses its maritime supply lines, its domestic resources will quickly be depleted, social order will fall into chaos and people's livelihoods will be severely impacted," said a Chinese military official in one video released by the PLA.

"I remain confident in our deterrence posture, but the trajectory must change," Paparo told congressional officials in April, warning that while his forces currently retained enough superiority to deter a Taiwan invasion, that advantage was being rapidly eroded as China built up forces.

"There are gaps in defence fuelling support points," he said. "Those are the locations where aircraft and warships would load fuel and distribute fuel. There are shortfalls in our tanker fleet and keeping enough fuel in the case of a contingency. And there are gaps in the combat logistics force in order to sustain the force."

U.S. weapons stockpiles are also a growing worry, a concern made worse by months of strikes on Yemen believed to have further depleted stores of critical Tomahawk land attack missiles which the U.S. has been firing faster than it built for several years.

"God forbid, if we were in a short-term conflict, it would be short-term because we don't have enough munitions to sustain a long-term fight," said Republican Representative Tom Cole from Oklahoma, chair of the House Appropriations Committee, at a hearing earlier this week with acting U.S. Chief of Naval Operations James Kilby.

Kilby warned of further shortages of torpedoes and antiship missiles, saying the Pentagon needed to look at other manufacturers who might be able to produce weapons that were not quite as good but which were "more effective than no missile".

"If we go to war with China, it's going to be bloody and there's going to be casualties and it's going to take plenty of munitions," Kilby said. "So our stocks need to be full."

Letitia James' Bad Day Gets Worse as She's Confronted at Town Hall: 'How Does It Feel to Know That You Will Be in Prison?'

Most of us have heard that Letitia James, New York State Attorney General, was confronted about her purchasing a home and lying about the home's value to get a better interest rate. Ironically, this is the same crime she accused Donald Trump of in the now-infamous trial held in New York City.

 

How exactly did this comparison come to light? OK, let's get to it.

 

At a town hall meeting in Albany, New York, James was being questioned about her questionable purchase of the house in Virginia. Here is the quote from The Western Journal...

 

'The real story here, however, involves the hilarious troll who calls himself “doge45_47.”

“Yes, yes, yes,” the man said in a TikTok video. “My question is for Tush James.”

I spit out my water. Tush James? This legend stood up at a town hall, in front of James, and made a reference to her considerable backside?

“Will you apologize to President Trump for wasting millions of dollars and the state of New York, for a witch trial?” he continued 1.

The Democrat sympathisers began booing, but doge45_47 relished the outrage. As doge45_47 began exiting the town hall in leiw of being thrown out, he let fly another arrow...“And how does it feel to know that you will be imprisoned for mortgage fraud?” he added." 2.

When the boos began to intensify, the legend doubled down.

“How does it feel? How does it feel, Tush?” he asked.

Then, the man escorted himself out of the town hall before security had a chance. Why security should have been involved itself remains a mystery.

On his way out, however, the legend got in one more plug for his favorite president. “Trump’28, baby!” he yelled. 3.

This incident was picked up by the national media and Trish James is wincing every time it is aired on TV.

 

doge45_47 shot some sharp zingers into Jame's heart, most of us think she deserves it.

 

Why is it that the Democrats accuse Republicans of doing what they, the Democrats, are doing, but never get caught or called out? What do you think will be James' punishment? Will she go to jail or just get a slap on the wrist?

 

Editor's note: In case you missed it, the questioner, "doge45_47," referred to Trish James as "Tush James," instead of Trish James. The word "tush" is a cute way of saying touchis, a Yiddish term meaning posterior in a joking manner, and in this case, a disrespectful and derogatory way.
