McIver’s ICE blame, Abrams’ egotistical fantasy – Latest News
Diary of disturbing disinformation and harmful delusions
This assertion:
“ICE agents created an unnecessary and unsafe confrontation when they chose to arrest Mayor Baraka.” — Rep. LaMonica McIver, Monday
We say: BZZZZZ. Wrong: ICE brokers did their jobs.
It was Newark Mayor Ras Baraka and Rep. McIver who created “an unnecessary and unsafe confrontation” when they tried to storm the Delaney Hall detention heart with a horde of protesters, leaving federal law-enforcement officers with no alternative however to detain them.
And then McIver shoved and elbowed brokers, which is why she’s now going through felony costs for assaulting, resisting, and impeding federal officers. She has no one in charge however herself.

“[Republicans] are mad at me for proving that democracy can deliver.” — Stacey Abrams, Saturday
We say: Deliver what, precisely? Abrams’ pathetic political profession has included two failed runs for Georgia’s governorship and . . . not a lot else.
She parlayed her baseless claims that the 2018 election was stolen from her into quasi-celeb standing on the left; “Star Trek: Discovery” eye-rollingly solid her because the far-future “president of Earth.”
Greenie nonprofit Power Forward Communities apparently used its ties to her to win a $2 billion grant from the Biden administration.

If anybody “attacked” Mayor Johnson’s metropolis, it was President Biden, who allowed tens of millions of unlawful immigrants to overwhelm blue cities throughout the nation, then ignored native pols’ pleas for help.
Border states have been drowning long earlier than Abbott began delivery migrants elsewhere.

“If Donald Trump doesn’t want Andrew Cuomo as mayor, you do.” — Andrew Cuomo marketing campaign advert, Wednesday
We say: The spin of the century! The Justice Department launched an investigation into the previous governor for allegedly mendacity to Congress about nursing-home deaths during COVID, and Cuo is attempting to make use of it as marketing campaign fodder.
He may as nicely say: Yes, my choices killed a few grandmas, however have you considered the truth that Trump doesn’t like me? It’s past ghoulish.
Cuomo’s document — the poisonous climate law, crime-exploding bail reform and horrific mismanagement of the pandemic — is so unhealthy he’s resorted to the preferred (and lazy) Democratic fallback: being the “anti-Trump” candidate.
