Folks, you don’t have to like it, but some people are just racist a**holes. Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott is one of them.
So it should come as no surprise that he would join MSNBC’s resident racist Joy Reid in telling us how he really feel about white people. Both Reid and Scott intimated that when white people criticize the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Marxist religion what they really want to say is the N-word.
Scott then went on to say that his “purpose in life” is to make white people “afraid.”
“Me being at my position means that their way of thinking, their way of life, of being comfortable while everyone else suffers is going to be at risk, and they should be afraid because that's my purpose in life,” black supremacist Mayor Scott said.

Just a question here, and excuse me for using logic, but how can one claim victimhood while simultaneously also claiming to be an aggressor towards a segment of people based on the color of their skin who you say are your oppressors?
Only Marxist activists, like Scott, can come up with that level of dumb-assery and believe it makes sense.
One thing we know for sure, if you’re white in Baltimore, get out. Your mayor wants you to live in fear.
BLACKS ARE THE MOST VIOLENT SUBCULTURE IN THE WORLD. LETTING THEM OUT OF JAILS AND PRISON TO BE NICEY-NICE WILL NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE.
Jamaal Bowman Endorsed a Gen Z Group Calling To End Cash Bail, While Results of the Policy Plague His District
Yonkers residents were found dismembered, and the suspects were released without bail
April 5, 2024
Two months ago, blood and human flesh were found in the pipes and toilets of a Long Island home, the inhabitants of which were arrested and charged with evidence tampering after the dismembered body parts of two Yonkers, N.Y., residents were discovered in a nearby park. Within a week, the suspects were back on the streets after being released on cashless bail, a move that prompted fear and criticism from the Yonkers community.
The town's representative in Congress, Jamaal Bowman (D.), did not comment on the grisly crime—or the fact that the suspects were released without bail. He did, however, praise a progressive youth group lobbying against cash bail in a Sunday video. Bowman encouraged Voters of Tomorrow to grow "to the millions" in order to tackle pressing issues for young people. Abolishing cash bail is a main priority for the group, according to their "Gen Z Agenda."
"We got to grow our numbers. Voters of Tomorrow needs to grow to millions of people from across the country at the table making legislation, organizing communities, holding local elected officials accountable, and ensuring that the resources go where they need to go. Young people have been revolutionaries throughout American history. We need it again right now because we got people in power that ain’t really doing the job," Bowman said.
"If the ‘justice’ system has policies or laws in place that have a monetary value tied to them, then those policies only apply to low-income people. No one should have to remain in prison for the duration of their case just because they do not have the financial means to pay their bail. Cash bail only applies to low-income people and we need equal justice," the group wrote in their "Gen Z Agenda."
Voters of Tomorrow did not return a request for comment.
The "Squad" member’s embrace of the progressive group reflects his commitment to far-left policies amid a contentious primary battle with Westchester county executive George Latimer. Bowman, for example, has spearheaded the progressive wing of the Democratic Party’s movement against Israel amid their war with Hamas. Latimer is a pro-Israel Democrat whom local rabbis encouraged to run, citing Bowman's hostility toward the Jewish state. In the wake of Hamas's Oct. 7 attack, Bowman has accused Israel of "mass murder," "genocide," and "ethnic cleansing."
One man assaulted a police officer in Yonkers, N.Y.—Bowman’s hometown—in September and was released shortly after without bail. Johnny McCray, a repeat felon out on parole for attempted robbery, broke the nose of a police officer who responded to a medical emergency involving McCray. McCray was charged with felony second degree assault on a police officer and other charges, but was released after his bail hearing after apologizing to the county judge for his crime.
Yonkers mayor Mike Spano, a Democrat, was baffled by the judge’s decision to release the repeat felon back into society unpunished.
"The justice system is consistently bailing out criminal offenders," Spano said. "This Officer is now out on leave and not able to do his job, while this offender is able to continue to make a living. How can any reasonable person expect that we can protect the public if we can’t even protect our Police Officers?"
Those who have "proven to hurt and plague the community" belong in jail "period," Spano added.
The two slain Yonkers residents were found in February dismembered in nearby Babylon, N.Y. The four suspects, Steven Brown, Jeffrey Mackey, Amanda Wallace, and Alexis Nieves, who were charged with concealment of a corpse, tampering with physical evidence, and hindering prosecution, were released without bail. Three of the four suspects admitted to living in a home deemed "uninhabitable" with blood and flesh stuffed in the drains, pipes, and shower. They surrendered their passports and were fit with GPS monitoring.
Residents near Babylon expressed concern about the presence of the suspects in their community.
"No bail, no nothing ... I'm aggravated. I can't even believe this is happening," said Carol Maier, a resident of Babylon.
"I mean, when I grew up, you were innocent until proven guilty. I don't know what they have on these people. If they think they might have done it, I think they should be locked up," said local business owner James Litrenta.
Westchester County resident and New York City restaurant owner Alan Rosen lamented the cashless bail laws and said he and his employees feel "uneasy and unsafe."
"[Cashless bail] gives judges the discretion to put people back in jail. We're letting a few bad apples spoil the bunch," Rosen said.
'When did it become OK to shoplift a pharmacy? In what society is that OK? People shouldn't be able to shoplift at CVS," Rosen added. "Enough! There are no consequences. That's part of the problem."
Bowman, who did not return a request for comment, embraced progressive public safety solutions as recently as this year. He held a January press conference with a group called Journey for Justice Alliance, a progressive group working to defund the police. The two-term congressman unveiled his "Equity for All Resolution," legislation which endorses Journey for Justice Alliance and its platform, "Equity or Else," which demands lawmakers "reallocate/divest police budgets" and "institute policing-free schooling with no school resource officers."
Bowman during the press conference said he takes "marching orders" from the anti-police group. He also lauded the group and other activist groups for making his job "easy," saying he can merely adopt their proposals rather than craft his own.

DA: Man Who Allegedly Shot 6 on Easter in Tennessee Was Convicted Felon, Should Not Have Been Released
The man who allegedly shot and killed one person and wounded five others on Easter in Tennessee should have never been released, according to the Rutherford County district attorney.
WSMV 4 noted that 33-year-old Allen Beachem was shot and killed at a restaurant on Easter morning after 46-year-old Anton Rucker allegedly became frustrated over personal space issues and opened fire.
Beachem’s wife and cousins were among the five people injured but not killed.
The Tennessee Star reported that Rucker was arrested Tuesday in Kentucky. He is a convicted felon who was out on a $50,000 bond.
Rutherford County, Tennessee, District Attorney Jennings H. Jones indicated Rucker should have never been released on bond.
Jones said, “It would have been my druthers that he be denied bond or that the bond be set very high.”
Since his arrest, Rucker has been “charged with aggravated assault, illegal possession of a weapon, and three felony drug charges.”

Anti-Israel Squad Member Jamaal Bowman Down 17 Points in Primary Poll
April 4, 2024
A new poll this week shows Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D., N.Y.), a "Squad" member known for his anti-Israel stance, is down 17 points in his bid for a third House term.
Westchester County executive George Latimer (D.) is leading Bowman 52 percent to 35 percent among Democratic primary voters in New York’s 16th Congressional District, according to the Wednesday poll conducted by Democratic pollster Mark Mellman.
Latimer’s lead over Bowman widens among more politically active Democratic voters, with the county executive leading the incumbent 56 percent to 35 percent among Democrats who voted in at least three of the last four primaries and 60 percent to 34 percent among those who say they know both candidates.
The poll also finds Bowman trails Latimer in job performance ratings. While the county executive, who has served in multiple capacities in the district since the 1980s, has an approval rate of 68 percent and a disapproval rate of 18 percent, Bowman’s performance is viewed positively by only 36 percent and negatively by 55 percent of Democrats in the district.
"Latimer does 32 points better on the positive side, while Bowman’s negatives are a massive 37 points higher than Latimer’s. Very few unindicted elected officials receive such strongly negative ratings from their co-partisans," pollster Mellman said, adding that "the data are clear: With a robust campaign, the well-known and highly regarded Latimer is in a strong position to unseat the now unpopular Bowman."
Bowman spokesman Bill Neidhardt dismissed Mellman’s poll, claiming that "[Mellman] doesn’t have an ounce of credibility here, and his junk numbers back that up."
Bowman, one of the eight progressive "Squad" members in Congress, has been vocal in his criticism of Israel. In November, he denounced Israel as an "apartheid" state while dismissing reports of Hamas terrorists killing babies and raping women on Oct. 7 as "propaganda."
In February, Bowman condemned an Israeli rescue mission that brought two Hamas-held hostages home. Earlier that month, he also defended his decision as a middle school principal years ago to feature a prominent anti-Semite and two cop killers on the school’s "Wall of Honor."
Bowman and Latimer are set to square off in the primary on June 25.

Jamaal Bowman Called Reports of Hamas Rapes 'Propaganda'
March 26, 2024
Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D., N.Y.) in November dismissed reports of Hamas terrorists raping Israelis during the Oct. 7 attacks as "propaganda," according to a video uncovered by Politico. He backtracked from the remarks after the outlet reached out for comment on Thursday.
"There was propaganda used in the beginning of the siege. There’s still no evidence of beheaded babies or raped women. But they still keep using that lie [for] propaganda," Bowman said at a Nov. 17 pro-Palestinian rally, according to Politico reporter Daniel Lippman on Tuesday, who found a TikTok video showing the rally.
Bowman in a Thursday statement walked back his dismissal of Israel’s rape allegations against Hamas. "The U.N. confirmed that Hamas committed rape and sexual violence, a reprehensible fact that I condemn entirely," Bowman said, referring to a United Nations report on March 4 confirming Hamas’s sexual violence. The New York Democrat had earlier on Thursday declined to address his November remarks when asked by Politico in person.
In the U.N. report, Pramila Patten, the organization’s special representative on sexual violence in conflict, wrote, "There are reasonable grounds to believe that multiple incidents of sexual violence took place with victims being subjected to rape and/or gang rape and then killed or killed while being raped."
The U.N. team also reported evidence of similar sexual crimes against Israeli hostages after the Oct. 7 terrorist attack, noting there is "clear and convincing information that sexual violence, including rape, sexualized torture, cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment has been committed against hostages."
The incident is not the first time Bowman had to walk back his public remarks. In late January, Bowman said he should not have engaged in conspiracy theories about the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in years-old blog posts. "It’s obvious to everyone, especially the far-right MAGA Republicans I take on every day in Congress, that I will always stand up and fight against misinformation and harmful conspiracy theories," the New York Democrat told CNN.

They Denounced a Bill to 'End Jew Hatred.' Now, Jamaal Bowman Says He's 'Honored To Have Their Endorsement.'
Indivisible Brooklyn called anti-Semitism resolution 'dangerous' and 'a total farce'
March 21, 2024
New York Democratic congressman Jamaal Bowman is touting an endorsement from a left-wing group that denounced a resolution commemorating "End Jew Hatred Day" in New York City. That resolution was "dangerous" and "a farce," the group said.
In a Monday tweet, Bowman heaped praise on Indivisible Brooklyn, calling their work "crucial in ensuring that everyday people are actually represented in our democracy."
"I am honored to have their endorsement and continue working with them," Bowman said.
Roughly one year prior, in June 2023, Indivisible Brooklyn blasted a bipartisan New York City Council resolution that established an "End Jew Hatred Day" in an attempt to combat rising anti-Semitism in the city. "That 'End Jew Hatred' bill was a total farce and is dangerous," the group said, adding that one of the two Brooklyn Democrats who voted against the resolution "was right to oppose it." The resolution passed with 41 yes votes.
Bowman's praise for Indivisible Brooklyn comes as the lawmaker faces a difficult primary challenge from Westchester County executive George Latimer, a pro-Israel Democrat whom local rabbis encouraged to run, citing Bowman's hostility toward the Jewish state. In the wake of Hamas's Oct. 7 attack, the two-term congressman has accused Israel of "mass murder," "genocide," and "ethnic cleansing."
"Many of us tried to engage the congressman early in his term, seeking constructive dialogue about the damaging positions he took—especially on matters related to America's relationship with Israel," the rabbis wrote in an October letter. "Regrettably, Congressman Bowman disregarded our outreach and doubled down on his anti-Israel policy positions and messaging."
Neither Bowman nor Indivisible Brooklyn responded to requests for comment.
The "End Jew Hatred Day" resolution, which was sponsored by Republican councilwoman Inna Vernikov, came as New York led the nation in anti-Semitic incidents and experienced a record number of anti-Semitic assaults, according to data from the Anti-Defamation League. In 2022, 72 anti-Semitic assaults were reported in the state, the highest on record at the time. That number represented 65 percent of all anti-Semitic assaults reported in the United States.
Vernikov's resolution aimed to "acknowledge this reality and to express support for this historically victimized community," according to New York GOP chair Ed Cox. Still, in addition to the two Democrats who voted against it, four others voted to abstain. One of those four, Charles Barron, said he did so because the "Jewish community … supported apartheid in racist South Africa and said nothing about African people dying."
A bipartisan group of lawmakers denounced the New York City Democrats who refused to back the bill.
"Antisemitism has a long and ugly history. It has seen a resurgence in NYC with a record number of hate crimes," Rep. Ritchie Torres (D., N.Y.) said at the time. "How can anyone vote against a resolution to end antisemitism?"
Since Latimer's entry into the race in December, Bowman has done little to improve his relationship with his district's Jewish leaders.
During a January panel discussion titled, "Palestine Oct. 7th and After," Bowman glowingly introduced anti-Israel author Norman Finkelstein, who celebrated Hamas's massacre as a "heroic resistance" that "warm[ed] every fiber" of his soul.
"I'm also a bit starstruck, because I watch them all the time on YouTube," Bowman said of Finkelstein and two other anti-Israel panelists. "You have given me the knowledge on YouTube even before coming here."
One month later, Bowman teamed up with fellow anti-Israel House member Cori Bush (D., Mo.) to hold a joint fundraiser in Los Angeles. That fundraiser was hosted by a number of activists who defended Hamas's attack, including one who called it "a desperate act of self-defense," the Washington Free Beacon reported. Bowman also held a joint fundraiser with Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.), during which the lawmakers filmed themselves leading a "Free Palestine" chant.
In addition to Indivisible Brooklyn, Bowman in January touted an endorsement from Jews for Racial and Economic Justice, a left-wing nonprofit that blamed Israel for provoking Hamas's attack. The group has also argued against sending anti-Semitic hate criminals to jail, saying those criminals should be met with "restorative, community-based education and healing," not "a police-driven response with criminal penalties."

9/11 Fire Commissioner Blasts Jamaal Bowman as Imbecile for Peddling Conspiracy Theories
'I've been dealing with these imbeciles for over 20 years now,' Thomas Von Essen says of embattled congressman
February 21, 2024
The New York City fire commissioner who served during the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks is blasting Democratic congressman Jamaal Bowman (N.Y.) for suggesting the attacks were a false flag operation, with the commissioner saying he's dealt with "imbeciles" like Bowman "for over 20 years now."
As a middle school principal, Bowman from 2011 through 2014 maintained a personal blog, which he used to publish a poem that portrayed the Sept. 11 attacks as a false flag operation used by the U.S. government to wage war in the Middle East. The poem has reportedly "infuriated" first responders, including Thomas Von Essen, who served as FDNY fire commissioner from April 1996 to December 2001 and helped evacuate victims from the Twin Towers during the attacks.
"I've been dealing with these imbeciles for over 20 years now, where I've been accused of planting bombs every 10 floors in the Trade Center and things like that," Von Essen told Politico.
The rebuke spells trouble for Bowman, who is embroiled in a difficult primary campaign against Westchester County executive George Latimer. Bowman's poem "all but disqualified" the congressman from receiving endorsements from New York City law enforcement groups, according to Politico.
Other organizations have already dropped their support for Bowman. Left-wing group J Street last month rescinded its endorsement of the congressman, citing Bowman's praise of anti-Israel author Norman Finkelstein, who celebrated Hamas's Oct. 7 attack on the Jewish state as a "heroic resistance." Bowman introduced Finkelstein during a Jan. 14 panel discussion on the attack and spoke of watching the author's YouTube videos.
"I'm also a bit starstruck, because I watch them all the time on YouTube," Bowman said of Finkelstein and other anti-Israel panelists. "You have given me the knowledge on YouTube before even coming here."
Bowman did not return a request for comment. After his Sept. 11 conspiracy poem resurfaced last month, he told the Daily Beast that he "regrets" the blog post, which cites conspiratorial "documentary" videos such as Loose Change and Zeitgeist. The former contends that the U.S. government carried out the Sept. 11 attacks, while the latter posits that a cabal of international bankers control the world.
"2001/Planes used as missiles/Target: The Twin Towers," Bowman wrote in one stanza. "Later in the day/Building 7/Also Collaspsed [sic]/Hmm…/Multiple explosions/Heard before/And during the collapse/Hmm…"
"Allegedly/Two other planes/The Pentagon/Pennsylvania/Hijacked by terrorist/Minimal damage done/Minimal debris found/Hmmm…" Bowman continued. "We blamed Osama/Went to war in Iraq/Captured Saddam/Killed him. Bin Laden is Afghan/So we went to war there too."
This is not Bowman's first fire-department-related conflict.
In September, the Democrat pulled a fire alarm in a House office building while the lower chamber was voting on a bill to avoid a government shutdown. Security camera footage showed Bowman attempting to open a door leading out of the building before removing warning signs that identified the door as an "emergency exit." Bowman then pulled a fire alarm located next to the door and walked away.
In the aftermath of the incident, Bowman's office sent his fellow Democrats a list of talking points to defend him. One suggested Democrats deflect from the ordeal by calling Republicans "Nazis."
"Republicans need to instead focus their energy on the Nazi members of their party before anything else," the guidance said.

Jamaal Bowman Defends Decision To Feature Prominent Anti-Semite, Cop Killers on Middle School ‘Wall of Honor’
Cynthia McKinney, Assata Shakur 'have complicated biographies,' Bowman spokeswoman says
February 8, 2024
New York Democratic congressman Jamaal Bowman is defending his decision to glorify a prominent anti-Semite and two cop killers on a "Wall of Honor" at the middle school he led, with his campaign saying those figures "have complicated biographies" and should still be taught to children.
As principal of Cornerstone Academy for Social Action, Bowman in 2014 curated a "Wall of Honor" that featured former congresswoman Cynthia McKinney (D., Ga.), Assata Shakur, and Mutulu Shakur—all of whom Bowman said "played a major role in moving our society … toward a world of freedom, justice, and equality," according to a HuffPost report. Years before Bowman established the wall, in 2009, McKinney attended a Holocaust denial gathering in London, where she praised anti-Semitic leaders and writers. Assata Shakur was convicted for the first-degree murder of a New Jersey state trooper in 1973, while Mutulu Shakur led a group of armed robbers who killed a guard and two New York police officers in 1981.
Now, Bowman says his inclusion of those figures on his "Wall of Honor" is nothing to criticize, with his campaign even contending that the lives of McKinney, Assata Shakur, and Mutulu Shakur should be taught to American schoolchildren.
"It is correct that many leaders in the Black liberation movement … have complicated biographies," Bowman spokeswoman Sarah Iddrissu told Huffpost. "It is completely baseless, and a rhetorical tool of the far-right, to insinuate educating students on major figures of Black American history is serving to promote hateful or divisive rhetoric or actions."
"Suppressing the education of Black history only serves to enable violence against Black people," she concluded.
The ordeal marks yet another controversy for Bowman, who is facing a difficult primary campaign against Westchester County executive George Latimer.
Bowman in January attended a New York City panel discussion titled, "Palestine Oct. 7th and After." Bowman took the mic at the panel to gushingly introduce Norman Finkelstein, an anti-Israel author who celebrated Hamas's massacre as a "heroic resistance" that "warm[ed] every fiber" of his soul. Bowman said he was "starstruck" by Finkelstein and other anti-Israel panelists "because I watch them all the time on YouTube." After the comment prompted criticism, Bowman said he was "unaware" of Finkelstein's comments.
Just weeks later, the Daily Beast unearthed a poem Bowman published to his personal blog, which suggested the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks were a false flag operation used by the U.S. government to wage war in the Middle East. "Allegedly/Two other planes/The Pentagon/Pennsylvania/Hijacked by terrorist/Minimal damage done/Minimal debris found/Hmmm…" Bowman wrote in one stanza. He also served as principal of Cornerstone Academy at the time.
The poem may explain Bowman's affinity for McKinney, who in 2002 suggested then-president George W. Bush knew about the Sept. 11 attacks in advance and allowed them to happen so his father could make money. McKinney went on to post a photo to social media that blamed Jews for the attacks. Her father similarly blamed Jews when McKinney lost her congressional seat in 2002.
"Jews have bought everybody. Jews. J-E-W-S," he said.
Bowman, who did not return a request for comment, has lagged behind Latimer in fundraising. As of Dec. 31, he holds just $631,000 on hand, compared with Latimer's $1.3 million.
