What confuses me is changelings, people who work with oppressors against their own kind / people. Another word is collaborators. The LGBTQ+ has the Log Cabin Republicans and Peter Thiel, the blacks have people like Candis Owens, Tim Scott, Burgess Owens to name a few. Some claim they like the tax cuts, some are as racist against immigrants as the white Republicans, and some are grifters. I never understood why poor people vote for the party that works against them to help the wealthy. Hugs
Pennsylvania Republican Senate candidate Kathy Barnette marched with members of a right-wing extremist group prior to the violence at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, according to footage recently unearthed on social media.
The photos and video showing Barnette marching alongside the Proud Boys originally surfaced on Sunday via writer Chad Loder’s Twitter account. On Monday, the photos were verified by NBC News.
Barnette has been a prominent promoter of election conspiracy theories, including organizing buses to attend the “Stop the Steal” rally that preceded the violence at the Capitol.
Well, first of all, allow me to correct you. I was not with the Proud Boys. I was out there because I wanted to hear what the president had to say.
I was also out there because, I’m sure your listeners will understand, the first five rights in the First Amendment—freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom to petition your government with grievances and freedom to assemble, as well as freedom of the press.
And so, as a law-abiding American citizen, I had every right to go to a rally in support of my president.
Just read an interview with 10 Republicans from Georgia, Pennsylvania and Ohio in the NYT. Unbelievably divorced from historical reality. Disheartening that these, our fellow citizens, most of whom were able to form complete sentences, want to give the “businessman” another shot.
We must show up in November. These people are nuts. And they’ll put Trump back in office if they have their way.
I don’t know why she’s trying to distance herself from the Proud Boys. She agrees with them on most things, right? Apart from that tiny little detail about skin color, but that part is so small she¨s fine with ignoring it. So why the distancing?
Probably the ‘optics’ of the court cases – especially the ones where PBs have been pleading guilty. She’s happy saying the quiet part out loud much of the time, but not being dragged into potential judicial proceedings.
She looks so fucking nice and normal. If I was a low information voter who didn’t follow politics closely, as a Dem, I might vote for her just based on her appearance, but hopefully they are watching her TV ads with the sound on because she’s as crazy as a bedbug and as evil as Cruella deVille..
Hopefully folks are paying attention in PA. Hard to imagine they wouldn’t be..
A white supremacist teenager recently shot and killed 10 people, almost all of them Black, in a Buffalo, New York supermarket. The gunman provides insights into his motivations from a self-published manifesto that was posted online days before he committed the shooting.
“A teenage gunman entranced by a white supremacist ideology known as replacement theory opened fire at a supermarket in Buffalo on Saturday, methodically shooting and killing 10 people and injuring three more, almost all of them Black, in one of the deadliest racist massacres in recent American history.”
The white supremacist gunman who just killed 10 people, almost all of them Black, provides insights into his motivations from a self-published manifesto that was posted online just before he committed the shooting. He cited 4Chan and the Internet for his rapid white nationalist radicalization, the infamous ‘white replacement theory’, as well as anti-semitic and racist propaganda as reasons for why he wanted to commit the shooting.
“Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), the No. 3 House Republican, and other GOP lawmakers came under scrutiny Sunday for previously echoing the racist “great replacement” theory that apparently inspired an 18-year-old who allegedly killed 10 people while targeting Black people at a supermarket in Buffalo. The baseless conspiracy theory claims that politicians are attempting to wipe out White Americans and their influence by replacing them with non-White immigrants. The theory was cited repeatedly by 18-year-old shooting suspect Payton Gendron in an online document that appeared to have outlined his intention to carry out his planned attack in Buffalo because of its significant population of Black people. Eleven of the 13 people shot at a Tops Friendly Markets store on Saturday were Black, according to police.”
After the Buffalo, New York mass shooting left 10 dead at the hands of the white supremacist shooter, right-wing journalist Glenn Greenwald tried to distract from the event and provide cover for his hate-mongering buddies like Tucker Carlson. Greenwald wrote an entire Substack rant defending how Tucker has made the “white replacement theory” mainstream and more digestible for regular TV viewers by completely ignoring it.
MATT WALSH (HOST): Because although this — I was going to call him a kid but he’s 18 years-old — this man’s ideology is a mess — he’s, again, a lunatic — all over the place, he does mention the so-called great replacement theory.
And this is what they’re trying to hang around the neck of Tucker Carlson, Fox News, really any conservative, myself included.
Because Tucker Carlson and other conservatives have in the past pointed out that the Democrats have been very open about the fact that, you know, they want to minimize what they call whiteness in America.
And they want to bring in voters, you know, from other countries. They don’t want voter ID laws, you know, they want to be able to bring in the voters and have them vote because they know they’re going to be voting Democrat.
So, they want to replace, especially white male voters, with voters who they think are going to be beholden to them.
Now, this isn’t a conspiracy theory. There’s nothing wild or speculative about it. It’s just a fact. And one of the ways you know that it’s a fact is the left and the media — The New York Times, CNN — they’ve been very open about it, many times.
So if it is a theory — if the great replacement theory is a theory, then it’s a theory propagated by the left. They’re the ones who go around talking about this supposed scourge of whiteness. What’re we going to do to minimize whiteness?
And how are we going to fight against whiteness? So they say all of that and then on the right, if we notice that they’ve said that and we point out that, oh, they said these things, then we’re the ones somehow responsible for a conspiracy theory.
Walsh last appeared on JMG when he declared that lesbians will cease to exist over the next 30 years.
Before that, he appeared here when he called for banning adoption by LGBT people. And before that, he appeared here when he called for dissolving the United States.
Walsh also claims that shooting people “is not against the law.” Early this year, Walsh declared that “everybody would be happier” if arranged marriages were mandatory.
If we're reading this lunatic's "manifesto" and taking it seriously then what about the part where he says he was radicalized from spending all his time online during the COVID lockdowns? I guess we're just glossing over that part. Not the conversation the media wants to have.
It’s sort of funny that Shapiro is the one to give these people a platform. Like… does he think that they’re not antisemites? Or does he just think that they’ll never get into power? Or that they’ll leave him alone because he’s ‘one of the good ones’? Fucking come on you dim little shite.
The alt-right/great replacement slogan is literally ‘Jews will not replace us,’ how can that possibly be spun as anything other than antisemitism? Even by republicans!
The only reason the “Pro-Israel” Party exist now, is that they need the State of Israel to exist, along with a certain number of Jews to be there, in order for them to fulfill “The Rapture”!!! Otherwise, they are the SAME Anti-Semites, that they were before, they realized the “need”!!!
Sure it was the lockdowns that radicalized him, not the RWNJ sites that he visited on social media and online and would have still used whether covid happened or not.
“He’s an Azov, he’s a gay guy, he’s got all these insignias. He comes across – he says he’s a left-wing authoritarian, an eco authoritarian. It’s in the manifesto, which they won’t release. I don’t know, just release it, it’s not gonna warp people’s mind. People can make decisions, parents got to be on top of stuff. Why are the parents that – is this kid going to church? Is he in church?” – Steve Bannon, inventing things that nobody else who have actually read the shooter’s manifesto have reported.

“Let’s just put a lot of crazy shit out there that the left and media will spend time responding to so they don’t focus as much on the fact that we 100% enabled, encouraged, and applauded the mass murderer terrorist.”
I am so tired of the daily batshittery, pull whatever out of your ass, “news.”
Smear the Queer… Find someone whose done a horrendous act and smear them as being gay soas to smear the gay community as harbingers of evil. Ties in well with his anti-woke and his don’t say gay support.
“It’s in the manifesto, which they won’t release.”
If they won’t release it, how do you know it’s in it. I’ve seen other people on the right claiming he’s a Bernie supporter. They’re desperate to shift the blame.
Hear that, folks? He wasn’t motivated by the stuff you’ve been hearing on my radio show like he said. It was really something about the environment all along, or some kind of fаggot shit like that. Yeah…that’s it.
Now that we’ve settled that, back to how the Jews are using the blacks to overwhelm and replace the poor, embattled white race.
About the author: Musa al-Gharbi is a Paul F. Lazarsfeld Fellow in sociology at Columbia University.
Isaac “Ike” Lambert was a decorated detective who had served more than 24 years in the Chicago Police Department. In 2017, an off-duty officer shot a teenager named Ricardo Hayes, who had autism and whose caregivers had reported him missing hours before. Some officers, according to Lambert, then tried to charge Hayes with assault on the basis of a distorted police report. Lambert noticed that his colleague’s official narrative of the encounter was sharply at odds with eyewitness accounts and other evidence (including video of the incident). Lambert declined to press charges against Hayes, then repeatedly refused to sign off on the officers’ fraudulent report—despite higher-ups insisting he help bury the incident. For this, Lambert asserted in a whistleblower lawsuit, he was promptly “dumped” to patrol duty.
In a case like this, an understandable inclination would be to focus on the victim, an unarmed autistic kid who had committed no crime, or on punishing the police officer who assaulted him. (Officer Khalil Muhammad received a mere six-month suspension for shooting Hayes.) Lost in the discussion are principled officers like Lambert, who resisted attempted malfeasance by his colleagues and paid a price for it.
He is far from alone. Police officers in the United States engage in all manner of bad behavior, such as excessive force, sexual misconduct, financial impropriety, and the manipulation of evidence. Holding them to account criminally, civilly, or professionally is extremely difficult, even in cases involving blatant malpractice and misconduct. Yet, even as bad cops evade punishment for wrongdoing, those who stand up to corruption, report negligence or abuse, or decline to comply with bad orders are frequently marginalized, demoted, or outright fired.
In May 2016, Stephen Mader, a police officer in Weirton, West Virginia, responded to a call by a distraught woman who said that her boyfriend, R. J. Williams, was threatening to harm himself with a knife. According to subsequent reporting on the case by ProPublica, she mentioned that Williams had a gun, but that it was unloaded, and she urged the police to intervene to save his life. When he arrived at the scene, Mader, a former marine, quickly surmised that Williams was not a threat and was trying to commit “suicide by cop.” He tried to talk Williams down, and was making progress—that is, until two other officers arrived on the scene and quickly shot Williams in the head. When officers inspected Williams’s gun, they found it was unloaded, as was indicated in the call to dispatch. Rather than sanctioning the other officers for using unnecessary force against someone with a weapon that they had been told was unloaded—for killing the very person they had been called upon to help—Weirton police fired Mader for exercising restraint.By failing to immediately shoot Williams, his superiors argued, he’d jeopardized his own life as well as the lives of his peers and any civilian bystanders. Mader sued for wrongful termination and ultimately settled for $175,000. However, he was not able to get his job back. He worked for a while as a truck driver before joining the National Guard, where he is now a military police officer.
In 2013, police officers in Auburn, Alabama, were assigned by their supervisor to a monthly quota of 100 “contacts”—that is, arrests, traffic tickets, warnings, and so on. Officer Justin Hanners spoke out against the policy, arguing that cops should interfere with people’s daily lives as little as possible, and only when they were needed. He insisted that the role of police should be to serve and protect, not to shake down civilians for money. According to the libertarian magazine Reason, Hanners was fired for expressing his opposition to quotas and refusing to comply with them. (Auburn police officials insisted they had imposed no quota, but Hanners produced recordings that appeared to back up his contentions.) Hanners filed a wrongful-termination lawsuit against the city of Auburn; it was dismissed partly on the grounds that, as a municipal employee, his whistleblowing actions were not covered by Alabama’s State Employee Protection Act. In the aftermath, unable to pay the bills, Hanners was forced to spend most of his retirement savings on keeping his family afloat. They ultimately lost their home to foreclosure and had to move in with relatives.
By 2006, Officer Cariol Horne had put in 19 years for the Buffalo Police Department. Shortly before her scheduled retirement, she arrived at a crime scene to find a fellow officer choking a handcuffed Black man while her fellow cops stood idly by. By her account, she urged the offending officer, Gregory Kwiatkowski, to stand down, because the situation was under control and the suspect was not a threat. Her pleas were ignored. Worried that Kwiatkowski, who is white, was about to kill the man, she pulled her colleague’s arm from around the suspect’s neck. In a rage, Kwiatkowski punched Horne in the face, damaging her teeth, she contended. The suspect was taken into custody. Afterward, rather than punishing Kwiatkowski for choking a handcuffed man and then assaulting another officer, Buffalo police fired Horne for obstructing justice, media reports indicate. (No other officer backed up her account, and Kwiatkowski successfully sued her for defamation.) She was denied her pension, and has been unable to retire. Instead, to pay the bills for herself and her three sons, she has been working as a driver—of semis, school buses, rideshares. She has often struggled to pay rent, and even had to live in a shelter for a while.
Suddenly, Buffalo police practices are under new scrutiny—after two officers were filmed pushing an elderly protester to the ground in June—and city lawmakers have requested another review of Horne’s case. Buffalo’s earlier decision to punish Horne, not Kwiatkowski, proved fateful. According to ABC7 Buffalo, he would go on choke another officer on the job, and in a separate incident, punch still another officer while off duty. Yet he remained on the force. In 2009, he was caught slamming four Black teenagers into the ground, then punching them and berating them as “savage dogs.” Once again, his victims were already handcuffed. Kwiatkowski eventually pleaded guilty to using excessive force in this incident. According to The Buffalo News, during his trial Kwiatkowski also admitted to having “lied several times in the past about using excessive force, including under oath in both a civil trial and an Internal Affairs investigation.” He was ultimately sentenced to a mere four months in jail for his crimes—roughly a decade after the 2009 incident. Unlike Cariol Horne, he was allowed to retire from the force and keep his pension.
In the aftermath of George Floyd’s death, many have demanded to know how the other Minneapolis officers captured on camera could have stood around with their hands in their pockets for eight minutes and 46 seconds, while Officer Derek Chauvin knelt on a man’s neck. Cariol Horne’s saga, and others like it, help explain why. The system protects cops like Chauvin, who had at least 17 previous misconduct complaints and had been involved in multiple incidents in which he or another officer used lethal force. However, cops who exercise restraint (in the case of Mader), stop others from engaging in brutality (like Horne), prevent officers from concealing wrongdoing (like Lambert), or blow the whistle on bad police practices (like Hanners)—they are often immediately and severely sanctioned or pushed out, both through formal and informal means. This is perhaps one of the most significant yet largely neglected problems with policing in America: Departments are making an example not of the so-called bad apples, but of the good ones.
Yes, cities and towns need better ways to identify and purge bad cops and should restructure law enforcement to reduce violent encounters. But police departments also need better protections and incentives for those officers who prioritize their sworn duties above loyalty to their peers or their personal well-being. This is underdiscussed, but crucially important. If bad cops are spared any punishment while good cops lose their job, Americans should not be surprised when officers who know of wrongdoing by their colleagues stand aside and let it happen—allowing the bad cops to exert disproportionate influence over how the system functions.
I watch a lot of videos. But this is one of the most important ones on racism and bigotry I want people to watch. It is short, but powerful. This is what really is being taught to young white kids by maga / racist parents. Notice that when the black guy with damage to his door and car tries to talk to the racist white farther of the child, the white man discharges a gun. Can you imagine living next door to them? Notice the open threatening hostility of a child’s birthday cake with a political message that drums into them violence if they don’t get their way even while they are too young to understand it. The cake was for a ten year old. This is happening in the US. This is happening as the Republicans champion racism while decrying that democrats and teacher are grooming / indoctrinating kids because they teach the real racist history of the US and are tolerant of the LGBTQ+ kids who are different from the mainstream. This the part of the US we need to understand has had a real resurgence since tRump an dnow supported activly by the Republican party. Hugs
Any implication or attempt to blame the heinous shooting in Buffalo on the Congresswoman is a new disgusting low for the Left, their Never Trump allies, and the sycophant stenographers in the media. The shooting was an act of evil and the criminal should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Despite sickening and false reporting, the Congresswoman has never advocated for any racist position or made a racist statement.
Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), the No. 3 House Republican, and other GOP lawmakers came under scrutiny Sunday for previously echoing the racist “great replacement” theory that apparently inspired an 18-year-old who allegedly killed 10 people while targeting Black people at a supermarket in Buffalo.
A series of Facebook ads published in September 2021 by Stefanik’s campaign committee that charged that Democrats were allowing undocumented immigrants into the United States as a ploy to outnumber, and eventually silence, Republican voters.
“Radical Democrats are planning their most aggressive move yet: a PERMANENT ELECTION INSURRECTION,” reads one of the ads, which shows a reflection of migrants in sunglasses Biden is wearing. “Their plan to grant amnesty to 11 MILLION illegal immigrants will overthrow our current electorate and create a permanent liberal majority in Washington.”
Did you know: @EliseStefanik pushes white replacement theory? The #3 in the house GOP. @Liz_Cheney got removed for demanding truth. @GOPLeader should be asked about this.

Let’s be clear. #EliseStarvefanik is mad. But she is really mad because she wanted to live in 2worlds. She wanted the benefit of the MAGA/QANON crowd and the respect of the @HarvardIOP cocktail crowd. This last week made her realize she has only the MAGA/Qanon weirdos. 🥴 https://t.co/fR9nTozr4Q
Great Replacement Theory is a vile, racist and false conspiracy theory that the Buffalo murderer relied upon. GOP Rep Elise Stefanik ran ads promoting it.
TEAM ELISE has advanced REPLACEMENT THEORY. She is absolutely responsible, in part for the blood shed. There will be more and she will share in that also because she helped light the fuse. Her rhetoric is purposeful. It is Hitlerism. What’s she is saying was at the ideological https://t.co/BwEjrZi1FB
core of National Socialism. The new version is called NATIONAL CONSERVATISM. It’s called the New Right. @JDVance1 is a leading member also. @VanityFair and @jhensonpogue just wrote about it. The @NEDemocracy is the leading American Institution for Democracy. Perversely,
The twisted young Fascist Congresswoman @EliseStefanik is on the Board. She should be removed immediately or the rest of the Board should resign. It is beyond disgusting that she serves there while spreading the hatred she does. She is no victim. Truly, she is Bloody Elise
The White House, House Dems, & usual pedo grifters are so out of touch with the American people that rather than present ANY PLAN or urgency to address the nationwide baby formula crisis, they double down on sending pallets of formula to the southern border. Joe Biden has NO PLAN
Republican lawmakers are echoing the anti-immigrant rhetoric. An MSNBC political panel joined American Voices with Alicia Menendez to discuss the danger of touting lies about immigrants.
