America Faces No Greater Threat Than Joe Biden and the Democrat Party. Their Assault to Our Borders Is As Great As Their Assault to Free Speech and Free Elections

BLACK MAYOR OF NEW YORK CITY HANDS MILLIONS OVER TO THE RACIST BLACK TERRORIST HOAX OF BLACK LIVES MATTER - BLM Rioters Get $6M Because Cops Didn’t Wear Face Masks The largest payout to rioters and protesters in American history.
The grimly hilarious reason New York is paying BLM rioters over $6M
New York never fails to amuse me. We are all familiar with Saturday Night Live, an NBC production that, in its early years and with its original stellar cast, was the comedic highlight of the week as it came to us "live from New York." Even if its laugh-provoking talent has diminished since the days of John Belushi and Gilda Radner, it can still produce at least an occasional chuckle from this fossilized cynic. Additionally, the comedy routines of the Cuomo brothers, much like the brothers Marx, have me in stitches when I view them. But lately, both the city and state of New York have outdone themselves in providing smiles for citizens outside their borders.
It is widely believed and statistically demonstrated that New Yorkers live in a generous welfare state. Full benefits in New York can garner a welfare recipient the pre-tax amount of $43,700 annually, or an hourly rate of $21.01. At the same time, a Floridian in similar circumstances would receive $12,600, or $6.06 per hour. If you think that benefits in the sums available to New Yorkers are not a disincentive to being employed, you are delusional. The citizens who do get up each day and go to work are paying for those welfare benefits through their exorbitant tax bills. They find those figures laughable but not at all humorous. Is it any wonder that so many New Yorkers, at least those willing to work, are heading south to the Sunshine State? The Floridian sense of humor does not include laughing at the poor guy forced to support freeloaders.
Everyone remembers the damage done throughout the nation by the BLM riots of 2021. In New York City alone, at least 450 businesses were damaged by "protesters" angry about the drug overdose death of career criminal George Floyd. A large number of those businesses were of the mom-and-pop variety and were unable to recoup their losses. They remain closed to this day. The courts awarded each business a maximum of $10,000 to rebuild the business and its owners' lives.
Recently, however, in contrast to the minimal relief offered to those unfortunate business-owners, the BLM class-action lawsuits have awarded the largest payouts for mass arrests in American history. Each of the so-called protesters in New York will receive $21,500 for a total in excess of $6 million from the city and state of New York because "police officers responding to protests frequently failed to wear masks or to assist detained protestors in covering their noses and mouths, and on occasion even forcibly removed protestors' masks, exposing them to a heightened risk of contracting Covid-19."
The best comedy writers in the world could not have come up with this. Thugs, intent on burning and looting, were found to be more sympathetic and deserving to the courts of New York than the victims of their mayhem. It seems that crime does pay, at least in New York. I wonder if the Cuomos get a cut. Or Tony "masked man" Fauci. I guess I should be ROFL (rolling on the floor laughing), and I would be if I weren't SDD (so damned disgusted).
Saturday Night Live could have a field day with this. It's likely that John Belushi and Gilda Radner are spinning in their graves.

The Black Lives Matter race riots in New York City were among the worst in the country. Racist mobs injured hundreds of police officers, started fires, looted stores and vandalized parks and statues. At least 450 businesses, many of them small and family owned, were damaged or looted by the rioters who claimed to be angry over the drug overdose death of George Floyd: a vicious career criminal who had previously robbed a woman by putting a gun to her stomach.
While Black Lives Matter was swimming in hundreds of millions of dollars, funneled to it by radical nonprofits, major corporations and Hollywood celebrities, family businesses in New York City looted by those rioters were offered a maximum of $10,000 to rebuild their shattered lives.
One small business owner in the Bronx complained that it would hardly even begin to cover the $200,000 in damages to her store after rioters “smashed glass display cases and medical equipment”. But participants in an extremist group’s Bronx protest are getting a much better deal. New York City will be paying $21,500 to each of the “protesters” in the Bronx for a total of as much as $6 million. And none of that money will be going to the looted businesses.
This has been described as the largest payout for mass arrests in American history.
The BLM riot era class action lawsuit claimed, among other things that the, “police officers responding to protests frequently failed to wear masks or to assist detained protesters in covering their noses and mouths, and on occasion even forcibly removed protesters’ masks, exposing protesters to a heightened risk of contracting COVID-19.”
Family businesses lost everything and cops and civilians were badly wounded during the BLM riots, but the police officers didn’t always wear masks when trying to control those riots.
Mott Haven, the Bronx neighborhood where the protest took place, was described as “mostly black and brown” and the police intervention as “racist terror.” Mott Haven is actually mostly Hispanic and while the lead plaintiff in the case is black, most of the protesters on video appear to be white hipsters wearing glasses. After the protest was controlled by the police, local business owners sent a message thanking the NYPD for protecting their livelihoods.
The media and leftist lawfare activists claimed that the Bronx protest was “peaceful and non-violent”. In reality, it was organized by a group known as FTP which stands for ‘F__ the Police” and was promoted with a flier featuring a burning police car.
Afterward a press release was put out describing how “the FTP formation launched #FTP4, the fourth in a series of militant actions exposing the every day brutality of the U.S. police state” and boasted that they “had to risk direct confrontation with the most powerful police state in the world to earn recognition of the human rights violations done by the U.S.”
This was as good as an admission that they had set out to provoke a confrontation with the police so as to be able to claim that they were the victims of police brutality.
Furthermore the press release stated that “we denounce any attempt to divide us from protestors who are non-peaceful or who liberate the ill gotten gains and excesses of capitalism.”
This was an endorsement and a defense of BLM rioting and looting.
A previous FTP manual contained not only an image of a burning police car, something BLM rioters repeatedly did, but included a section on “How to Shut Down a City” with a list of items like “Bolt Cutters”, “Bricks”, “Fire”, “Glass Bottles” and “Nails”. It urged “Sabotage Everywhere”.
But the police didn’t wear masks so these very fine people, who may have possibly been exposed to COVID while they were fighting police, get millions while the people whose lives have been ruined get a few thousand or nothing. That’s what a leftist justice system looks like.
None of the media coverage mentions anything about FTP, what it stands for or its manual and its defense of violence and looting. As was its habit during the BLM riots, it describes them in generic terms as “protesters” and the events as “racial justice protests”. These lies by omission have continued for years after the riots devastated communities and claimed so many lives.
FTP’s actions were linked to Decolonize This Place, a movement co-founded by Muslim NYU Professor Amin Husain. A previous FTP event, FTP III, had tried to shut down subways, engaged in vandalism, staged confrontations and used a manual promoting sabotage. The NYPD’s overwhelming response to FTP4 becomes much more understandable within that context. It’s a context that the media carefully fails to provide in its news coverage.
Amin Husain has declared, “I’m fighting for Palestine by fighting here.” He spread images promoting Hamas and the PFLP terrorist group and boasted of having fought in Israel, “I was throwing rocks, Molotov cocktails, the like.” Decolonize This Place had tweeted, “Find targets nearby, Find where these zionist fools live, and where there offices are, and act!”
“Nothing says “peaceful and nonviolent” like calling for an antisemitic purge of Jews.
But not all of the NYPD officers wore face masks while grappling with members of what looks a lot like a terrorist group with foreign enemy links. And so food will be taken out of the mouths of hungry children and millions will be reappropriated to the leftists who waged war on New York.
And the looted businesses will be on the hook to provide that money to their destroyers.

Rapper Travis Scott Reportedly Punched Sound Engineer and Damaged Recording Equipment
Rapper Travis Scott is reportedly being sought by the New York Police Department after he was accused of assaulting a sound engineer and destroying equipment at the Midtown Manhattan nightclub Nebula on Wednesday at around 3 a.m.
The NYPD says Scott, 31, is alleged to have punched the sound engineer in the left side of his face and damaging around $12,000 of sound equipment, TMZ reported.
Video of Scott at the club that morning appears to show the rapper having words with another man and pushing him away while another video claims to show the damage the “Astroworld” rapper perpetrated on the club’s equipment.
According to reports, the sound engineer was not seriously injured and had no visible injuries after the encounter.
The NYPD is attempting to contact Scott or his representatives, but it appears that this has not yet been achieved.
According to the New York Post, Scott was agitated from the minute he walked into the place.
“Travis came in angry and intoxicated and progressively went postal,” a source said, the paper reported. “His shirt said ‘Back the f–k up.’ It’s like he was poised for battle. It was foreshadowing.”
The Post added claims from a witness who insisted that Scott was upset because the sound system was “blasting and distorted.”
“Travis then walks over to the soundman yelling aggressively in his face on why he lowered the sound, then he smacks the soundman right across the face,” the source said. It reportedly caused a “big commotion” between Scott’s people and the club’s security.
“He was upset about the sound. He punched one of the speakers and dented it, that’s how hard it was,” another source said.
Scott’s attorney, Mitchell Schuster, told TMZ it was all a “misunderstanding.”

“While this is clearly a misunderstanding being blown out of proportion by clickbait and misinformation, we are actively working with the venue and law enforcement to resolve and set the record straight. We are confident our client will be cleared of any wrongdoing,” TMZ reported.
Also, Richie Romero, the managing partner of Club Nebula, also waved off any concerns. “This is blown completely out of proportion. It was a great night,” Romero said, according to TMZ.
Scott is still under a cloud after ten fans were killed in 2021 during his Astroworld Music Festival in Houston, Texas, in Nov. of that year.
The rapper was still seeing performances canceled as late as last July over the incident for 2021. He also lost several sponsors.
A 17-year-old student who continued to viciously beat his high school teacher after he knocked her unconscious for taking his Nintendo Switch will be tried as an adult.
Brendan Depa, 17, will be tried as an adult for the brutal beating of Joan Naydich, 57, at Palm Coast, Florida’s Mantanzas High School.
The vicious and deeply disturbing assault was captured on security camera footage, which shows a student pushing a teacher to the ground and knocking her unconscious before going on to punch and stomp on her as she lies motionless and defenseless. The mother of two was struck at least 15 times in the back of the head.
Depa, who faces a felony aggravated battery charge, had been arrested for battery on three separate occasions in 2019. Now, Florida’s Seventh District Court has ruled that the six-foot-six, 270 pound student will be held on a $1 million bond and face up to 30 years in prison.
Depa, who has been ordered by the court to refrain from contacting the teaching assistant, will appear for his arraignment on March 6.
“This student is just six months shy of age 18, and it was also a brutal attack on this teacher. Fortunately, this didn’t result in a fatality.” Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly said, noting the severity of the savage attack. “This could be a homicide we are talking about,” he went on to add.
Naydich, who has a son at the high school and a daughter who graduated in 2013, has since been released from the hospital and is recovering at home.

Anti-Semitism is First and Utmost a Danger to America and its Values
At a summit held by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) in November, FBI Director Christopher Wray spoke about “the tragic reality that the Jewish community uniquely ends up on the receiving end of hate-fueled attacks from all sides.” He referenced the white supremacist attacks in recent years in Poway and Pittsburgh, and the 2022 attack at the synagogue in Colleyville, Texas, motivated by “violent Jihad”. But it’s not just white supremacists and radical Muslims.
There are myriad of groups espousing Jews-hatred – the far-right, the far-left, radical Muslims, and black supremacists, such as Louis Farrakhan, to name a few. The reality is that these groups and their individual members and supporters pose a danger not only to the Jewish community, but to all Americans. Antisemites target Jews first, as they see the Jewish people as easy prey, but what they are really after is changing America beyond recognition, according to their distorted and extreme ideologies.
The tragic reality is that America as a whole is on the receiving end of hate-fueled attacks from all the radical elements of society. The fabric of America is disintegrating in front of our eyes at the hands of the sworn enemies of the American and the Jewish people.
The Mounting Threat for Jewish Americans
In recent years, the threat against American Jews, and consequently the American people, has been mounting. Per FBI Director Wray, “A full 63% of religious hate crimes are motivated by antisemitism—targeting a group that makes up just 2.4% of our population.”
Interestingly, this hate is one of the sole common threads between far-right, far-left, radical Muslim, and black supremacist ideologies. These groups are united by familiar antisemitic tropes of a nefarious and powerful Jewish or “Zionist” cabal that allegedly seeks to dominate and subjugate individuals, societies, and nations through behind-the-scenes scheming.
More and more, these hate groups, who at their core are enemies to each other, are coalescing and cooperating in their hatred of the Jewish people and the Jewish State.
How did we arrive to this point, and is Antisemism just a Jewish problem?
The Threat from the Far Right
Jew hatred from the far-right has grown in recent years with the popularization of the Great Replacement conspiracy theory, in which Jews are commonly held responsible for a plot to subjugate if not eliminate the white race through promotion of non-white mass immigration, feminism, transgenderism, and other supposedly devious schemes.
Hence, at the notorious white supremacist “Unite the Right” rally held in Charlottesville, Virginia in August 2017, marchers feverishly chanted, “Jews will not replace us”.
Within the year, this unfolded into real world violence against Jews. In March 2018, 46-year-old white supremacist Robert Gregory Bowers killed 11 Jews at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania during Shabbat services, the deadliest attack on Jews in America’s history. Blaming the Jews for mass migration to the U.S., Bowers posted on social media before the attack, “I can’t sit by and watch my people get slaughtered. Screw your optics, I’m going in.”
A little over a year later in April 2019, 19-year-old John Timothy Earnest burst into the Chabad of Poway synagogue outside San Diego, killing one congregant in a burst of gunfire, again during Sabbath services. In his manifesto, Earnest wrote, “Every Jew is responsible for the meticulously planned genocide of the European race. They act as a unit, and every Jew plays his part to enslave the other races around him—whether consciously or subconsciously.”
As I’ve warned, the Jews were just the first, most attractive target. Soon these attacks spread to the rest of America. In August 2019, a far-right shooter targeted Latinos in an El Paso, Texas Walmart, killing 23. In May 2022, a far-right shooter targeted black Americans at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, killing 10. Both cited the “Great Replacement” theory as motivations for their attacks.
The Threat from Black Nationalists
Jew hatred doesn’t only come from white nationalists, but also from black nationalists, who since the 1960’s have been advocating for a major national influence through the Nation of Islam (NOI) and their co-hordes through race pride for African Americans and black separatism.
Hatred of Jews has long been brewing in the black community. Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the antisemitic Nation of Islam (NOI), has been a prominent voice in the community for decades.
Farrakhan spews hateful venom at Jews, alleging that the Jewish people were responsible for the slave trade and that they conspire to control the government, the media and Hollywood, as well as various black individuals and organizations. He frequently denies the legitimacy of Judaism – or the Jewish claim to the Land of Israel – arguing that “Judaism is nothing more than a ‘deceptive lie’ and a ‘theological error’ promoted by Jews to further their ‘control’ over America’s government and economy.”
The severity of this problem burst onto the national scene in December 2019, with a spate of attacks against the Jewish community in the New York metropolitan area. On December 10, two heavily armed individuals connected to the Black Hebrew Israelite (BHI) movement murdered three people at a kosher supermarket in Jersey City, New Jersey. Weeks later, on December 28, a BHI-inspired individual attacked a Hanukkah gathering in Monsey, New York with a large knife, killing 72-year-old Rabbi Josef Neumann.
Once again, this hate then reared its head from Jews to the rest of society. In November 2021, Darrell Brooks, a black nationalist drove his SUV into a crowd of Christmas parade attendees in Waukesha, Wisconsin, killing six people and wounding dozens. In April 2022, another black nationalist Frank Robert James perpetrated a mass shooting on the New York City subway during rush hour, injuring 29. James’s online incitement and bigotry included antisemitic diatribes.
Farrakhan’s views are echoed in the recent antisemitic outbursts of famed rapper Kanye West, who now goes by “Ye”. Kanye is now claiming, “Somehow our country has been taken over by, you know, maybe about 300 Zionists.” Farrakhan and Kanye have actually been publicly connected for years, with West referring to him as “sensei” in one of his songs.
When Kanye talks about blacks being the real Jews, he mimics the beliefs of the Black Hebrew Israelites (BHI). While white supremacists say “Jews will not replace us”, BHI followers say they are us. Just this past month, a group of BHI marchers in Brooklyn ominously chanted, “we are the real Jews”.
And now Kanye has united with the far right, bringing white supremacist Nick Fuentes along with him when dining with former President Donald Trump in Mar-a-Lago on November 22.
The “Red-Green” Alliance: The Threat from the Radical Left & Radical Muslims
Not to be outdone, the radical left has been ramping up its Jew hatred for decades, disguising it using hatred for the homeland of the Jewish people, the State of Israel. This radical group new kind of new antisemitism initially gained intellectual currency in universities and other leftist intellectual circles. Today, modern anti-Semitism can be found among members of the radical Left, who are inherently anti-American and see Israel as a symbol of American and Western imperialism, aggressive military rule and the violation of human rights.
Similarly, radical Muslims have long sought Israel’s destruction and promulgated conspiracies of Jewish Zionist global domination. Despite the fact that radical Muslims and leftists are naturally completely misaligned in their belief systems and ideologies, they have joined forces and as the Reut Group warns, “The strategic partnership between the radical left and political Islam, known as the red-green or Islamo-Left alliance, emerged in Europe, but it has migrated to the US in recent years.” Despite their hatred and intolerance to each other they have a shared agenda that is anti-Western, anti-American, and anti-Zionist.
The New Antisemites Report by StopAntisemitism.org and Zachor Legal Institute in which anti-Zionism or hatred of Israel is utilized as an acceptable stand-in for the classical hatred of Jews documents how this contemporary hate, as disseminated by the Islamo-Left so-called “Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions” (BDS) Movement, is negatively influencing large segments of the United States’ population and creating a dangerous environment that normalizes vilification of Jews, as well as inciting violence against Jews, something that history has shown to have deadly consequences.
The radical left have also been promoting Critical Race Theory (CRT) and the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) programs on universities and high schools contributing to antisemitism in the American education system. However, antisemitism is not just a Jewish problem – it is an American problem and while CRT and DEI policies may disproportionately target and harm Jewish students, their agenda ultimately seeks to undermine and replace fundamental American values and replace it with its own radical vision.
The trend of intersectionality has accelerated the Islamo-Left collaboration.
The strange alliance between the radical Left and radical Muslims – two groups that, despite their seemingly incompatible worldviews, happily collaborate against Israel and the Jews, can be explained by the theory of intersectionality adopted by many in the far Left. According to this theory, groups that consider themselves neglected and discriminated against must come together to fight against each of those groups’ supposed enemies.
This new partnership was on full display during the last major conflict between Israel and the Palestinians in May 2021, when terror groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad launched more than 4,000 rockets and mortars at Israeli civilians. Back in America, we witnessed stunning and unprecedented scenes in New York, Los Angeles, and other major progressive urban centers of Jews being assaulted by mobs of anti-Israel activists. This surge of anti-Jewish hate also included harassment, vandalism and online abuse.
Few could have imagined that such a wave of violence against Jews in major American cities would be possible within living memory of the Holocaust. Jews in America often fear walking the streets wearing Jewish symbols, congregating outside Jewish community buildings, or even speaking Hebrew or Yiddish in public. This is a growing threat to American society. Street violence and hate speech is replacing the American principles of reasoned discourse and debate.
Through intersectionality, the Red-Green alliance seeks to replace the universal virtues of tolerance, pluralism, freedom of speech, and rule of law with racialized “anti-racism”, hierarchical critical race theory, discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, intolerant “cancel culture”, and the censorship of “de-platforming”.
Together, those who foremost target Jews – white and black nationalists as well as the Red-Green alliance of the left and Islamists – are a fundamental threat to America and its values. These radical groups are spearheading efforts to erode the core principles that make our country exceptional, replacing America’s commitment to individual rights and equality, meritocracy, rule of law, tolerance, pluralism, due process, freedom of speech, and free-market capitalism with a racialized and violent world steeped in conspiracy theories and political polarization.
The Jewish people have long been portrayed as the sacrificial “canary in the coal mine”, a powerless creature that will warn others of danger through its demise. But here we are, not a canary, but as an eagle, warning Americans of the looming threats on the horizon. Heed our warnings.
