Kweisi Mfume’s Return to Congress
https://cms.frontpagemag.com/fpm/2020/02/kweisi-mfumes-return-congress-discover-networks
A leftist radical prepares to replace the late Elijah Cummings.
Last week, Kweisi Mfume
-- who served as a Democratic member of Congress from 1987-96, and as president
of the NAACP from 1996-2004 -- defeated 23 opponents in a special primary
to determine who will represent the Democratic Party in the upcoming general election
on April 28, when the voters in Maryland’s Seventh Congressional District will
pick someone to serve out the remaining months of the late Elijah Cummings’
uncompleted term in the House of Representatives. In his acceptance speech,
Mfume dedicated his
victory to the memory of his longtime friend, Mr. Cummings: “This is for him.
This is for him!”
In light of the fact that the population of District Seven is overwhelmingly Democratic, Mfume’s victory in the general election is all but assured. And that triumph will represent the closing of a circle: Cummings filled Mfume’s vacated congressional seat when Mfume resigned from the House in 1996, and now Mfume, nearly a quarter-century later, has come back to succeed Mr. Cummings in that very same seat. Embracing a political orientation that he describes as “very, very progressive,” Mfume is prepared to promote the same leftist policies that Rep. Cummings advanced for 23 years – policies that helped turn Maryland’s Seventh District into a high-crime, high-poverty basket case.

During his first go-round
in the U.S. House, Mfume was a highly prominent member of the Congressional Black
Caucus (CBC), where he served a stint as chairman. A highly
noteworthy tidbit about the CBC is the close relationship it has long had with
the legendary Jew-hater Louis Farrakhan,
leader of the Nation of Islam (NOI).
In September 1993, Mfume, in his role as CBC chairman, proudly announced that
his Caucus was entering into a “sacred covenant” with Farrakhan’s NOI, meaning
that the two organizations would consult with one another on legislative
issues and political strategies.
In the years since then, CBC and NOI have further cemented the bonds of their friendship and political alliance on many occasions. For example:
In the years since then, CBC and NOI have further cemented the bonds of their friendship and political alliance on many occasions. For example:
·
For a full decade, from 1995 through 2005, Keith Ellison,
who would eventually join the CBC after his election to Congress in 2006,
worked actively on behalf of Farrakhan and NOI – not only by participating in
the Million Man March and other NOI rallies, but also by defending Farrakhan in
articles which he wrote under pseudonyms like Keith Hakim and Keith X Ellison.
·
In August 2002, Farrakhan, as a “special guest” of CBC
members John Conyers and
Earl Hilliard, spoke at the CBC's 32nd annual legislative conference,
where, according to the NOI publication The
Final Call, he “held capacity
audiences spellbound.” Farrakhan also “attended the CBC banquet at the
conclusion of the convention and was mobbed by celebrities, supporters and
members of Congress,” The Final Call added.
·
On July 20, 2005, nearly all of the CBC's 43 members attended a
CBC meeting on Capitol Hill where Final
Call photographer Kenneth Muhammad took a group photo of
Farrakhan surrounded by approximately 20 of those members. One of those in
attendance was John Lewis,
who described himself as “a strong supporter” of Farrakhan and stated: “I’m
glad that Minister Farrakhan and his contingency were received with open arms
by the Congressional Black Caucus.”
·
In January 2006, Farrakhan met with several CBC members in New
Orleans and said to them: “Tell me how I can be of service.”
·
At an event in 2011, CBC member James Clyburn shared
a stage with
Farrakhan, who discussed the NOI book The
Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews, which purports to
provide “irrefutable evidence that the most prominent of the Jewish pilgrim
fathers [sic] used kidnapped Black Africans disproportionately more than any
other ethnic or religious group in New World history.” After Farrakhan had
finished speaking, Clyburn said: “I
want to thank Minister Farrakhan for offering up a number of precepts that we
ought to adhere to.” When some Jewish organizations subsequently scolded
Clyburn for having appeared at an event with Farrakhan, the
congressman told The Final Call that he was “not
bothered in the least bit” by the criticisms.
·
In 2013, CBC members Keith Ellison and Gregory Meeks joined
Farrakhan in attending a meeting convened by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani.
Among the topics of discussion was the nuclear deal which the Obama
Administration was in the midst of negotiating with Tehran.
·
In May 2013 in Detroit, CBC member John Conyers attended an
event where Farrakhan made a number of crude references to “Satanic Jews”
and the “synagogue of Satan.”
·
Five months later, Farrakhan was invited to
a Detroit event honoring Conyers for his 50 years of service in Congress.
·
In his annual Savior’s Day address in February 2014,
Farrakhan publicly recognized Conyers
for his efforts to help “move black people forward.”
·
Two months after that, Farrakhan and Conyers greeted each
other warmly at a Chicago conference on
slave reparations, where they both served as guest speakers.
·
In October 2015, CBC member Danny Davis was
a guest speaker at a “Justice or Else” rally keynoted by Farrakhan -- an event
lamenting the “widespread death, rising racism, mob
attacks,... police brutality,... economic deprivation and stark poverty”
afflicting the African American community. Said Davis
to the crowd: “I want to commend and congratulate minister Louis Farrakhan for
his visionary leadership.”
·
In February 2018, the Daily
Caller contacted the 21 CBC members who had been part of the Caucus
ever since its aforementioned July 2005 meeting with Farrakhan, and asked each
of them if they would be willing to publicly denounce the
NOI leader for the racist and anti-Semitic rhetoric that had long been his
hallmark. Not a single one agreed to issue any comment toward that end.
·
In February 2018 as well, CBC member Danny Davis lauded
Farrakhan as “an outstanding human being who commands a following of
individuals who are learned and articulate, and [who] plays a big role in the
lives of thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of people.”
·
The following month, Davis again praised Farrakhan,
saying: “He does outstanding things for, especially for blacks who are
unsure about themselves, people who’ve been in prison.”
And now Kweisi Mfume
prepares for his imminent return to the House of Representatives, where he will
once again join the Farrakhan-loving Congressional Black Caucus and regain the
lofty legislative platform from which he can promote the same brand of
corrosive, destructive governance that the voters in Maryland’s Seventh
District have been choosing for decades.

Similarly, the
statistical fact that African-Americans commit murder at a vastly higher per
capita rate than do white Americans is not something you are supposed to
mention in the press, but at least dissidents in the comments can cite a PDF issued by
the federal Bureau of Justice Statistic s back in
2011 that found that blacks were, per capita, 7.4 times as likely to be murder
offenders as whites, with whites, curiously, including almost all Hispanics.

IN AMERICA - Is it the world’s most violent subculture?
"Dr. Williams comments on another
reality: that the rate of black homicide and armed robbery as well as
other violent crimes are as is as much as 15–30 times more than
whites."
So, we
have local black gang associates posting terror threats on social media --
threats of murder, by burning, directed at the women and children family
members of white police employees -- immediately before the murder, by
burning, of the white teenage daughter of a local police department
employee. Plus, the killing took place only minutes after the victim was
seen on video at the same location as the husband or boyfriend of the
person who posted the threats, as he was filling a handheld can with
gasoline.

Black Nationalist Hate Group Praised by Media Shot Up Kosher
Market
https://cms.frontpagemag.com/fpm/2019/12/black-nationalist-hate-group-praised-media-shot-daniel-greenfield
Rep. Ilhan Omar and the New York Times’ favorite hate group
targets Jews.
December
12, 2019
Daniel
Greenfield
Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom
Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left
and Islamic terrorism.
The New
York Times called them "sidewalk ministers" who practice
"tough love." The paper quoted Heidi Beirich of the Southern Poverty
Law Center who described them as victims of racism and claimed that they were
non-violent.
The Washington
Post, in its own puff piece on the Black Hebrew Israelites, also
falsely described them as non-violent, and concluded that, "Israelite street
preaching in parts of D.C., Philadelphia and New York is commonplace, a
familiar if odd accent to city life."
The
odd accent to city life in Jersey City came amid a hail of bullets as two
members of the racist black nationalist hate group opened fire in the JC
Supermarket. Despite initial claims by the media and the authorities
that the Jewish market had not been targeted, David Anderson and Francine
Graham ignored passerby on Martin Luther King Dr, to get to the store and kill
as many Jewish people as they could.
When
the shooting had ended, Moshe Hersh Deutsch, a yeshiva student who was known for
helping distribute food packages to the needy, Mrs Leah Mindel Ferencz, a mother of 3 who
helped her husband run the grocery store, and Miguel Jason Rodriguez, the
father of an 11-year-old daughter and a parishioner at an Assemblies of God
church, were all dead.
Anderson,
who left behind anti-Semitic and anti-police writings, had also killed Detective Joseph Seals, a father of 5, and wounded Officer Ray
Sanchez and Officer Ferenella Fernandez.
The black nationalist terrorist had hated cops and Jews. He
managed to kill both.
The
media whitewash of the racist Black Israelites had come during the Covington
Catholic case when the Washington Post, among other papers, had
falsely blamed the pro-life students for a confrontation that actually began
when members of the nationalist hate group had begun calling them, “crackers,”
“faggots,” and “pedophiles.” An African-American pro-life student was called
the ‘n-word’.
Rep.
Ilhan Omar, who has her own history of racism and anti-Semitism, falsely claimed that the Covington Catholic students
were “taunting 5 black men.”
The New
York Times equivocated that members of the hate group “use blunt and
sometimes offensive language, and gamely engage in arguments”. The typical
“offensive language” and argumentative style of the Times’ second
favorite racist hate group involves shouting racist and anti-Semitic slurs at
people.
David
Anderson, the Kosher supermarket shooter, had a whole YouTube playlist of such
ugly incidents. In one video, a Black Israelite preacher shouts, “Satan is in
you” at a Jewish man. “You stole our history. You are pretending to be us. The
messiah, who is a black man, is going to kill you.”
Gamely
indeed.
In
another video, a Black Israelite preacher calls a Jewish teen a member of the
“Synagogue of Satan”. “We want our book back and we want our land back,” the
preacher demands. “Go back to Russia.”
You
can see why Rep. Ilhan Omar might have felt called to defend the racist hate
group.
“They
move you all over the earth, but we know who you are. You are part of the
Zionist deception. You go among the earth to spread Zionism, which is really
Catholicism,” he rants. “Witchcraft and sorcery.”
Such
statements may seem deranged, but they’re typical of the supremacist theology
of the hate group.
Previous
incidents involving the hate group have been even uglier with a video that
doesn’t appear on Anderson’s playlist showcasing a Black Israelite preacher shouting,
"The Holocaust is a damn joke! Heil Hitler!" A documentary shows
another preacher standing on a prone white man and declaiming, "We're
coming for you, white boys. Negroes are the real Jews. Get ready for war.”
It’s
no wonder that Tom Metzger a KKK leader and the founder of the White Aryan Resistance, had described them, as "the black counterparts of
us".
And
yet, the New York Times concluded its whitewash of the hate
group with a closing quote by Todd Boyd, a professor of race and culture at
UCLA, which claimed that, "To many black people, Hebrew Israelites are a
harmless part of their communities."
No
doubt to many white people the KKK are a harmless part of their communities.
Racist hate groups are the bigger problem for people who aren’t a member of
their race.
"More
alarming to many African Americans," the UCLA professor of race had
argued, is "seeing a white guy in a ‘Make America Great Again’ hat."
The
dead at the JC Supermarket would have liked to have seen a MAGA had instead of
black coats.
The whitewash
of the Black Israelite hate group was the work of John Eligon, a reporter hired by the New
York Times to report on race, who had previously defended Rep. Ilhan Omar’s anti-Semitism, and
had injected black nationalist sympathies into his writing. The Washington
Post’s whitewash of the hate group was the work of Sam Kestenbaum, a
contributing editor at the radical leftist The Forward. The
anti-Jewish paper has a long history of whitewashing and defending anti-Semitism
by its political allies.
But
the problem is much bigger than just the media’s whitewash of the Black
Israelites.
The
FBI’s warning about the threat of “black identity extremism” was met with a
wave of attacks by the media. A New York Times op-ed warned
of "The F.B.I.’s Dangerous Crackdown on ‘Black Identity
Extremists’" The Intercept, a notorious radical hate site
funded by Franco-Persian eBay billionaire Pierre Omidyar, joined in. "Why
the FBI's "Black Identity Extremist" Classification Is Dangerous," Teen
Vogue had argued. The Nation had warned of a
"Coming War on 'Black Nationalists'".
Rep.
Karen Bass, a militant anti-Israel Democrat, despite representing a partially
Jewish district, attacked former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the FBI, and other
officials over the BIE category. This was after the murder of 4 Dallas
police officers by Micah X. Johnson and Kori Ali Muhammad's targeted
killing of three white men in Fresno.
“I
don’t believe black identity extremists exist, and I believe the FBI should
retract the document and send out a document throughout law enforcement saying
that black identity extremists do not exist,” Bass had ranted.
This
year, under pressure, the FBI jettisoned the BIE term. Just in time for the
Kosher market shooting.
The
FBI report helps police officers prepare for coming threats. By undermining the
warnings about black nationalist violence, Rep. Bass, the New York
Times, the Washington Post, and every media activist and
politician who went to bat for black nationalist racists sabotaged police
preparedness.
And
they have blood on their hands.
The
media is already embracing the familiar narrative about lone wolves and
individual instability. That’s the same story we hear after acts of violence by
members of a movement that it is politically allied with.
Hate
groups, whether it’s the KKK or the Black Israelites, or campus hate groups
like the Groypers or SJP, should be exposed with clear and honest facts about
who they are and what they believe.
When
political activists and media whitewashes cover up the truth for partisan
reasons, people can die.
A
father of five with a badge, a mother of three running a grocery store, a man
working to support his daughter, another man delivering food packages, did not
have to die. If the truth had been told about the Black Israelites, they might
still be alive today. Instead the media lied and they are gone.
Truly
standing up against racism and anti-Semitism means jettisoning partisan agendas
for the truth.
Rep.
Karen Bass, the New York Times, The Intercept, the
ACLU, and others colluded to tie the hands of the FBI and local police because
they see black nationalists like Anderson as allies in their cause.
After
the attack, a representative from Americans
Against Anti-Semitism, an
organization which, unlike the ADL, actually opposes hate wherever it comes
from, took a camera to record local reactions.
"I
blame the Jews. We never had a shooting like this until they came," one
resident bellows. “My children are stuck at school because of Jew shenanigans.”
"Four
of y'all are dead right? That's great. If they was there, they got shot dead,
that's great," a man says.
"Get
the Jews out of Jersey City," someone else shouts.
There’s
nothing extraordinary about this. It’s the everyday hate that we can’t talk
about. The hate that the media is quick to cover up. If you want to understand
why children are beaten on Brooklyn streets and why a Kosher supermarket was
shot up, it’s because we aren’t allowed to talk about it.
Evil
needs silence and complicity. The media and Democrat politicians are guilty of
both.
The
Ferencz family, Moishe and Leah, opened a small market on Martin Luther King
Dr. They filled the narrow aisles with bread, juice, candy, milk, and the
household staples you need when time is short.
They
worked late hours.
And
then, while Moishe was praying next door, the black nationalist bigots whom
the New York Times, the Washington Post, Rep. Ilhan
Omar, and Rep. Karen Bass had defended, killed her husband.
That
is the story that the media won’t tell. But it must be told.
WINDOW INTO THE DEPRAVED BLACK SUBCULTURE
Heather Mac Donald
Public safety
The Social Order
As for
interracial violence generally, blacks disproportionately commit it.
Between 2012 and 2015, there were 631,830 violent interracial victimizations,
excluding homicide, between blacks
and whites,
according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Blacks, who make up 13
percent of the U.S. population, committed 85.5 percent of
those victimizations, or 540,360 felonious assaults on
whites, while
whites, 61 percent of the population, committed 14.4 percent, or 91,470
felonious assaults on blacks. Regarding threats to blacks from
the police, a police officer is 18.5 times more likely to be killed
by a black male than an unarmed black male is to be killed by a police
officer.
Anti-cop
activist Shaun King says that his involvement in the campaign around the
Jazmine Barnes murder was not driven by reports that a white man had killed the
seven-year-old girl, who was gunned down in Houston on December 30. According
to Barnes’s mother and 15-year-old sister, the white driver of a pickup truck
had pulled up next to the family’s car before opening fire. The accusation set
off a frenzy of hate-crime allegations and blanket coverage by the New York
Times. King offered a $100,000 reward to anyone who located the suspect.
As
it turned out, Jazmine Barnes was killed by two black men, who opened fire on
her mother’s car because they thought that they were targeting enemies of their
gang. King passed along a tip about the real killers to the Houston police, and
now says that he merely “internalized the pain of the family and tried to
search as if it were my own child who was killed.” Race, in other words, had
nothing to do with his activism.
It’s
worth remembering, though, the many other black children who have been victims
of drive-by shootings without leading King to launch a national crusade.
A
sampling: in March 2015, a six-year-old boy was killed in a drive-by shooting
on West Florissant Avenue in St. Louis, as Black Lives Matter protesters were
converging on the Ferguson, Missouri, Police Department to demand the
resignation of the entire department. In August 2015, a nine-year-old girl was
killed by a bullet from a drive-by shooting in Ferguson while doing her
homework in her bedroom, blocks from the Black Lives Matter rioting
thoroughfare. Five children were shot in Cleveland over the 2015 Fourth of July
weekend. A seven-year-old boy was killed in Chicago that same weekend by a
bullet intended for his father. In Cincinnati, in July 2015, a four-year-old
girl was shot in the head and a six-year-old girl was left paralyzed and
partially blind from two separate drive-by shootings. In Cleveland, three
children five and younger were killed in September 2015, leading the black
police chief to break down in tears and ask why the community only protests
shootings of blacks when the perpetrator is a cop. In November 2015, a
nine-year-old in Chicago was lured into an alley and killed by his father’s
gang enemies; the father refused to cooperate with the police. All told, ten
children under the age of ten were killed in Baltimore in 2015; twelve victims
were between the age of ten and seventeen.
In
2016, a three-year-old girl in Baltimore was partially paralyzed by a drive-by
shooting. In Chicago in 2016, two dozen children under the age of 12 were shot
in drive-bys, including a three-year-old boy mowed down on Father’s Day 2016
who is now paralyzed for life and a ten-year-old boy shot in August; his
pancreas, intestines, kidney, and spleen were torn apart. A Jacksonville
22-month-old was shot to death by a passing car last June. In September, three
men killed three-year-old Azalya Anderson in a drive-by in Sacramento, and a
week before Christmas in Bridgeport, a 12-year-old boy was shot and killed on
his way home from the candy store in a drive-by shooting.
Why
did King let these shootings of black children go by without responding as he
did to Jazmine Barnes’s murder? Could it be because the perpetrators were
black? You could end all white shootings of black children tomorrow and it
would have zero effect on the death rate of black children by homicide, because
such white-on-black shootings are extremely rare. Moral abominations, like the
2015 Charleston church massacre by white supremacist Dylann Roof, are
aberrations that belong to the outermost lunatic fringe of American society.
The country’s revulsion at the Charleston carnage was immediate and universal,
resulting in a movement to banish the Confederate flag, embraced by Roof as a
white supremacist symbol, from official sites.
If
Shaun King and other Black Lives Matter activists really want to save black
children from the trauma of urban violence, they should put their efforts into
rebuilding inner-city culture—above all, by revalorizing a married father as
the best gift a mother can give her child. Fantasies about white violence
against “black bodies” are a distraction from what is actually happening on
American streets.

Walter Williams tackles the elephant in the room on crime
Dr. Williams is a well
known conservative economist and longtime John Olin Chair faculty at George
Mason University in eastern Virginia, author of 12 books and syndicated
columnist. In the past, he has been substitute host on the Rush
Limbaugh radio program. He is almost like family to me, and I have
benefited from his essays and books over the years. This past week,
I saw and read his essay on disparities in
crime rates among races that was picked up by Military in its October 2019
issue. What got Dr. Williams going was the article by Matthew
DeLisi of Iowa State U and John Paul Wright of the U of Cincinnati titled
"What Criminologists Don't Say and Why."
Dr. Williams confirms
that the writers are right about the liberal tilt of criminologists — "If
criminologists have the guts to even talk about a race-crime connection, it's
behind closed doors and in guarded language. Any discussion about
race and crime ... can mean the end of one's professional
career."
Dr. Williams points out
teen black-on-white predatory behavior — chronicled in detail by many,
particularly Colin Flaherty, whose investigative
reports appear frequently (more than 100) at
American Thinker — cannot be reported, mentioned, or considered by the media,
politicians, criminologists, commentators, politicians, even law
enforcement people without risking being called racist, the easy epithet used
to enforce a ban on talking about the realities of racial disparities in crime
and the increasingly violent nature of black violence against whites — the
knockout game, polar bear hunting, flash mob violence against people and
property.
Referencing the Wright
and DeLisi report, Dr. Williams comments on another reality: that the rate of
black homicide and armed robbery as well as other violent crimes are as is as
much as 15–30 times more than whites, for example, and he points out the silliness
of criminologists' claims that mass incarceration rather than criminality has
decimated the black community. He favorably quotes Wright and DeLisi
when they say, "What they [criminals] did, in reality was to prey on their
neighbors."
Dr. Williams returns to a
theme he has explored many times before in this essay and commentary when he
points out that the black family of the past was two parents and stable, even
back to days of slavery, and that the black community was moral and
law-abiding. "The strong character of black people is
responsible for the great progress made from emancipation to today. ...
[T]oday's conduct among black youth wouldn't have been tolerated
yesteryear."
My regret is there aren't
enough Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell types to engage the nutty attitudes of
liberal chatterbox experts.

BLACK
ON BLACK VIOLENCE Data,
of
crime and policing than this weekend’s demonstrations suggest.
The FBI
released its
official crime tally for 2016 today, and the data flies in the face of the
rhetoric that professional athletes rehearsed in revived Black Lives Matter
protests over the weekend. Nearly 900 additional blacks were killed in
2016 compared with 2015, bringing the black homicide-victim total to 7,881.
Those 7,881 “black bodies,” in the parlance of Ta-Nehisi Coates, are 1,305 more
than the number of white victims (which in this case includes most
Hispanics) for the same period, though blacks are only 13 percent of the
nation’s population. The increase in black homicide deaths last year comes on
top of a previous 900-victim increase between 2014 and 2015.
Who is killing these black
victims? Not whites, and not the police, but other blacks. In 2016, the police
fatally shot 233 blacks, the vast majority armed and dangerous, according to the Washington Post.
The Post categorized only 16 black male victims of police
shootings as “unarmed.” That classification masks assaults against officers and
violent resistance to arrest. Contrary to the Black Lives Matter narrative, the
police have much more to fear from black males than black males have to fear
from the police. In 2015, a police officer was 18.5 times more likely to be
killed by a black male than an unarmed black male was to be killed by a police
officer. Black males have made up 42 percent of all cop-killers over the last
decade, though they are only 6 percent of the population. That 18.5 ratio
undoubtedly worsened in 2016, in light of the 53 percent increase in gun
murders of officers—committed vastly and disproportionately by black males.
Among all homicide suspects whose race was known, white killers of blacks
numbered only 243.
Violent crime has now
risen by a significant amount for two consecutive years. The total number of
violent crimes rose 4.1 percent in 2016, and estimated homicides rose 8.6
percent. In 2015, violent crime rose by nearly 4 percent and estimated
homicides by nearly 11 percent. The last time violence rose two years in a row
was 2005–06. The reason for the current increase is what I have called
the Ferguson
Effect. Cops are backing
off of proactive policing in high-crime minority neighborhoods, and criminals
are becoming emboldened. Having been told incessantly by politicians, the
media, and Black Lives Matter activists that they are bigoted for getting out
of their cars and questioning someone loitering on a known drug corner at
2 AM, many officers are instead just driving
by. Such stops are discretionary; cops don’t have to make them. And when
political elites demonize the police for just such proactive policing, we
shouldn’t be surprised when cops get the message and do less of it. Seventy-two
percent of the nation’s officers say that they and their colleagues are now
less willing to stop and question suspicious persons, according to a Pew
Research poll released in January 2016. The reason
is the persistent anti-cop climate.
Four studies came out in
2016 alone rebutting the charge that police shootings are
racially biased. If there is a bias in police shootings, it works in favor of
blacks and against whites. That truth has not stopped the ongoing demonization
of the police—including, now, by many of the country’s ignorant professional
athletes. The toll will be felt, as always, in the inner city, by the thousands
of law-abiding people there who desperately want more police protection.
