Democrat Rep. Jim Clyburn blames mainstream media for party’s cratering support

Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) is blaming the mainstream media for the Democratic Party’s cratering national support.

In an interview Friday on MSNBC’s The Last Word, Clyburn claimed the media was distorting political narratives– and that Dems are losing ground not because of the exceedingly leftward tilt of their message – but because the press isn’t properly telling its story.

“I think the message coming from the Democratic Party is a good message,” Clyburn said.

“The problem we’ve got is that we have to depend upon the media to deliver it.”

….

“If we have The Washington Post, for instance, caving to this wannabe dictator and we’ve got other media entities that seem to rather push a narrative that will bring eyes to their newspapers or to their television sets and not really give a fair hearing or reporting to what we’re doing,” Clyburn whined.

“A little bit alarming, but something people will understand if they hear it.”

The veteran lawmaker reserved praise for uber left-leaning MSNBC and Velshi’s coverage, calling it one of the few platforms offering substance over spin.

“That’s why I like coming on your shows on the weekends,” he said.

Clyburn ended with a shot at outlets that, in his view, let lies spread unchecked.

HAHAHAHAHA:

“That’s what’s killing us as Democrats,” he said.

“We don’t have a stomach for just lying.”

His vacation plan was … ill-advised

This week, FBI chief Kash Patel and Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that they had arrested and charged a college student for bombing two Tesla Cybertrucks and destroying two Tesla charging stations in Missouri. It’s the second case this week in which a firebomber has been hit with federal crimes for his acts of political violence, which are being prosecuted under Trump 47. 

A college student was arrested by federal authorities in Boston after allegedly launching a Molotov cocktail at a Tesla dealership in Missouri while home on spring break.

Owen McIntire, 19, of Kansas City, was arrested and made an initial court appearance Friday in U.S. District Court in Massachusetts.

McIntire, a college student in Boston, was charged with unlawful possession of an unregistered destructive device and malicious damage by fire of any property used in interstate commerce, according to court documents filed in the Western District of Missouri.

A Kansas City Missouri Police Department officer who was near the Kansas City Tesla Center March 17 saw smoke rising from a Cybertruck parked in the parking lot.

The officer also found a Molotov cocktail that was still in tact [sic] near the burning Cybertruck just before midnight, according to an affidavit.

Kansas City Fire Department crews responded to extinguish the fire, which had spread from the Cybertruck to a second vehicle in the lot, according to court documents. The Cybertrucks had sale prices of $105,485 and $107,485. 

Two Tesla charging stations were also damaged by the fire, each with an approximate value of $550.

Agents and forensic experts from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) recovered and analyzed key evidence, including Molotov cocktails allegedly used in the arson.

Authorities later found video footage of a person who they believe to be McIntire, wearing a large hat, lighting the devices and throwing them at the Cybertrucks before walking away.

The hat was later found by authorities near the dealership, with DNA evidence confirming it matched that of a man.

"Let me be extremely clear to anyone who still wants to firebomb a Tesla property: You will not evade us," U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi said in a statement. "You will be arrested. You will be prosecuted. You will spend decades behind bars. It is not worth it."

FBI Director Kash Patel said the arrest was the second of the week for crimes targeting Tesla.

Free legal advice to college students intending to cut loose next vacation: if what you’re planning might attract the attention of both the head of the FBI and the U.S. Attorney General, you may want to rethink the project, and perhaps head down to a southern beach riot nstead.

(In Owen’s favor: he used a Brag Organic Apple Cider Vinegar bottle in the commission of the crime; if he’s lucky enough to have his case heard by an old, nostalgic hippie, he might get off.)

But wait, there’s more!

Another Alleged Tesla Bomber Is Charged—Aaaaand He Looks Like a Girl

Go figure: Miss Owen makes the fourth trannie to get caught firebombing Teslas — why is that?

In this case, a witness who got cellphone footage of the fire-bombings thought the person was female, because he was wearing a dress and a woman's hat. 

According to the FBI affidavit, the witness driving by saw the suspicious activity and slowed down to grab cell phone video. The witness “stated he slowed down and grabbed his phone and then noticed an individual in a black dress with black clothing underneath. They said the individual in black was tall, skinny, lanky and appeared to be a woman because of the long hair.”

….

McIntire is believed to have driven his relatives’ car, equipped with an electronic license plate reader, which was picked up on surveillance gear. And cops also tracked his cellphone with location tools. 

One of the charges McIntire faces could land him in prison for 20 years. Attorney General Bondi says there will be no plea bargaining down the charges. 

Why do so many of these Trantifa types engage in political violence? Is it basic mental illness, suggestibility, drinking the woke Kool Aid, or all of the above? 

“But is he a father? We’ll want to know that before initiating deportation proceedings.” Sen. Chris Van Hollen

Tren de Aragua gangbanger sobs to Florida cops after crew gets busted in $30K liquor store robbery run

A “violent” Tren de Aragua gangbanger broke down in hysterics after he and his buddies were busted for robbing a string of Florida liquor stores, cops said.

Ramon Jesus Carpintero-Luna, 26, sobbed like a baby to investigators with his hands cuffed behind his back upon realizing his alleged life of crime had finally caught up with him, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office said Thursday.

The illegal Venezuelan immigrant even dropped to his hands and knees and pleaded for his freedom when cops came knocking.

….

Carpintero-Luna was allegedly part of a four-person gang that had been pillaging more than three dozen liquor stores across central Florida — a violent scheme that raked in upwards of $30,000.

The  bandits would often rob the stores of their “scotch and high-end liquor,” at gunpoint,” cops said.

Samuel Oglis David Anthony Charle, 25, and Alexis Jose Rodriguez-Benavides, 27, are known Tren De Argua gang members, while Carpintero-Luna, Ildemaro Miguel Escalona Mendoza, 26, and Darwins Smith Vasquez Leon, 28, are considered associates, cops said.

All five illegally crossed the border and descended into a life of crime, making no pretense at finding honest work, according to Judd.

In early March, the group allegedly stormed a Sam’s Club in north Lakeland and stocked a shopping cart with 14 cases of liquor valued at $3,200 and made straight for the exit.

They rammed the cart into an employee who tried to stop them, before grabbing two cases of liquor and escaping into a silver Ford Focus, cops alleged.

The crew of alleged thugs didn’t make it far — their truck became disabled when they tried to drive it over a concrete curb in the parking lot.

The quintet ditched the car and ordered an Uber, affording themselves just a few more days of freedom.

Samuel Charle and Escalona Mendoza were arrested in nearby Osceola County for a different robbery, while the other three were cuffed April 17 after Polk officials obtained arrest warrants.

Because they are all illegal immigrants, they have been placed in ICE detainers.

The suspects have criminal histories including immigration violations, thefts, robbery, drug possession, resisting arrest, fraudulent use of and possession of personal identification, false reports to law enforcement, robbery with a firearm, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, domestic violence (listed as armed and dangerous), and driver’s license offenses, cops said.

Judd is pushing for the scotch bandits to be deported, a just punishment for the alleged gangbangers, he said referring to the picture of a tearful Carpintero-Luna.

Greenwich police: Man shot at windows of cars and homes with BB gun [or possibly a .22 rifle — Ed] in Putnam Hill area


GREENWICH — Greenwich police say they arrested a man who was shooting at the windows of cars and residences in the Putnam Hill and Putnam Park are with a BB gun.

Christopher Link, 58, was charged Monday with two counts of first-degree reckless endangerment, two counts of illegal discharge of a firearm and two counts of third-degree criminal mischief….

Police said they received multiple reports regarding damage to residential windows, vehicles and property that seemed to have been caused by BBs or other small caliber projectiles.

41% to 34% — Muslims finally take Vienna

Muslim students outnumber Christians in Vienna elementary schools

  • 41.2% of students identify as Muslim, 34.5% as Christian

  • Teachers quitting, exodus of ethnic Austrian families in Vienna

For the first time in Vienna’s history, ethnic Austrians are poised to become a minority in the city’s elementary schools, with new figures revealing that Muslim pupils now outnumber all other religious groups.

According to official data from the city's school council, 41.2 per cent of students in Vienna’s elementary schools identify as Muslim, compared to 34.5 per cent identifying as Christian.

The statistics, which also show German is increasingly a second language in many classrooms, have ignited heated political debate and raised concerns about integration, language barriers, and educational standards.

The data, by the office of Vienna’s City Councillor for Education Bettina Emmerling (Neos), covers around 112,600 children across primary, secondary, special education, and polytechnic schools.

According to the Austrian website The Local, While the proportion of Muslim students has grown, Christian faiths now account for a combined 34.5 per cent, including 17.5 per cent Roman Catholic and 14.5 per cent Orthodox.

A further 23 per cent of pupils declare no religious affiliation at all. Smaller groups include Buddhists (0.2 per cent), Jews (0.1 per cent), and other faiths (0.9 per cent).]

Austria’s largest opposition party, the right-wing Freedom Party (FP), has sharply criticized the development. “41.2% Muslim pupils — it's no longer a minority, it's becoming the new majority. This isn't immigration anymore, it's displacement,” said Max Weinzierl, head of the FP’s youth wing, in a statement shared widely on social media.

FP security policy spokesman Hannes Amesbauer echoed those concerns, warning, “Austrians will soon be strangers in their own country.”

Educators and parent organisations are also voicing frustration, claiming the rapid demographic shift has created major difficulties in classrooms. Evelyn Kometter, president of the Austrian Parents' Association, described a chaotic learning environment: “The teacher has to repeat every sentence 10 to 12 times before it is understood.”

Reports suggest that a growing number of teachers are quitting posts, and an exodus of ethnic Austrian families from Vienna to rural areas is underway, with many seeking schools where German remains the dominant language and incidents of classroom violence are low.

After sweeping through much of the Hapsburg empire, slaughtering civilians by the tens of thousands as the came, Turks were finally stopped and defeated at the gates of Vienna on September 11, 1683;

This time, the inhabitants have surrendered.

The Brooklyn woman accused of leaving a brick scrawled with a swastika and the word “Nazi” on a parked Tesla is a super-woke family therapist who was involved in criminal justice diversion programs — and blamed Elon Musk for her heinous actions as she was taken into custody.

Natasha Cohen was released on her own recognizance following her arraignment on hate-crime charges Saturday night, according to prosecutors.

Cohen, 46, has a private practice, working with children, adolescents and their families for more than two decades.

She has advanced training in maternal mental health, according to an online profile, and currently sells different therapy worksheets and resources online for parents of children with ADHD, body dysmorphia issues, and anxiety.

Several of Cohen’s social media posts are critical of President Trump. Recently, she posted a meme claiming President’s Day was canceled “until we get a real one.” The day after Trump’s victory, she posted a photo of a memorial candle.

Cops have alleged Cohen not only left the brick on the windshield of a Cybertruck parked on Ditmas Avenue, in what is largely a Jewish neighborhood, but she also dumped a bag of trash on the car.

Surveillance cameras caught Cohen in the act, police said. 

“Every time I see those cars, I see Elon Musk saluting the country as a Nazi,” Cohen told police at the time of her April 12 arrest, according to a copy of the criminal complaint, obtained by The Post. 

“I made a mistake because I’m basically living in terror every day that the country is turning into Nazi Germany,” Cohen continued, according to cops. “I’m truly terrified because Elon was unelected and they’re deporting migrants without a trial.”

Cohen’s neighbors were shocked by the allegations.

“That’s crazy,” said one, asking to remain anonymous. “I feel like the world needs less of that crap right now.”

Said another neighbor: “Who does something like that?”

She should have her therapist license suspended until a board certifies that she’s been successfully treated for and cured of TDS; unfortunately, this is New York, so instead, she’ll get a commendation on her permanent record, noting her civic involvement and courageous stand against tyranny.

The New (unmasked would be a better term) face of the Democrat Party? Let's hope so.

Quality time with an illegal, wife beating, sex-trafficking gang member — The democrats have found a man to follow

What's truth got to do with it?

A typical bullshit story, as David Strom shows in this article, but it’s his conclusion that resonates, because he’s exactly right about what’s going on.

…. [T]here actually is a point to piling up these absurd stories. It's not that the propagandists expect that you will buy that a kindly Social Security worker really died of a heart attack because Donald Trump is mean, or that a mother drowned her child because of his immigration policies. Few people will. 

But the piling up of these stories is supposed to create a stink, and pound the idea that Trump's cruelty is an established fact and that if only he were kinder, bad things would happen less often. 

Where there is smoke, there's fire. The storytellers are creating the smoke, but once people hear enough stories like this, a gestalt is created. The facts don't add up, but a feeling is being created in people susceptible to such things. It's about changing the Overton Window, not convincing people about any one case. 

The same strategy is used all the time. Think of the "climate change is causing wildfires" narrative. Even if you prove EVERY wildfire has an easily explained origin in bad maintenance of power lines or outright arson, that California's forest management is horrific, that LA was unprepared for an easily predicted event, the accumulation of stories creates an impression on the impressionable. 

The facts are irrelevant. The accumulated feelings stick. 

The infuriating thing is that it works. Millions of Americans are suddenly furious that a wife-beating MS 13 gang member with a deportation order got...deported. Not because they know anything about the particulars, but because propaganda arsonists started a fire that spread in people's minds. 

Even a lot of liberty-minded conservatives are incensed over technicalities that would never have occurred to them because the propaganda worked. PROVE that he was a human trafficker. PROVE that he beat his wife. PROVE that he was a gang member. As if that is the standard for deporting an illegal immigrant credibly suspected of all these things, with boatloads of evidence. 

Honestly, you can read the harrowing accounts from his wife about being beaten, and people are still incensed. Tren de Aragua is suddenly the Boy Scouts, too. 

It's absurd, but the fact is that the accumulation of individually absurd stories does have an effect, and that is the point, not making you believe any one story. People get primed for outrage. 

It's sickening.

Venezuelan migrant arrested in sanctuary city for 6th time in 13 months days after prosecutors drop charges

A Venezuelan migrant has been arrested for the sixth time in the past year for allegedly robbing a woman at gunpoint, just days after prosecutors in an Illinois sanctuary city dropped additional charges against him. 

Edmonds Peraza Cortez, 25, is facing one felony count of armed robbery with a firearm, according to the Chicago Police Department.

Cortez allegedly was riding a bike on April 11 when he approached a 41-year-old woman, brandishing a gun and yelling, "Money! Money!" 

Cortez allegedly demanded the woman hand over her cellphone, wallet and electric scooter. 

Police located and arrested Cortez less than an hour after the alleged robbery. The incident was caught on surveillance footage, CWB Chicago reported. 

Cortez has been arrested six times in just 13 months, with prosecutors dropping four of the cases against him.
