Anti-Israel Rep. Jamaal Bowman Loses Democratic Primary
The Squad loses a member.
Bye bye, Rep. Jamaal Bowman!
The Squad is so going to blame the Jews.
The rabid anti-Israel representative lost his primary to George Latimer, a Westchester County executive, in the NY-16 Democrat primary.
The dude even went off on a profanity filled rant this past weekend.
The level of profanity here is so shocking as to be unbecoming of a Member of Congress.
There is nothing in Jamaal Bowman’s unhinged tirade that remotely resembles the decency of the people I know and represent in the South Bronx. pic.twitter.com/IZZtgyffTv

Bowman denied Hamas raped women and beheaded babies on October 7.
In October, cameras caught Bowman pulling the fire alarm before the House voted on the stopgap bill.
Breitbart News also learned that Bowman “ripped down two signs warning a second-floor door in the Cannon House Office Building was for emergency use only before pulling the fire alarm and running out through a different door on a different floor.”

LOL. THE JEWS!
It's instructive to see how centrist liberals are trying to minimize what AIPAC is doing in the Bowman-Latimer race, where the lobby group has spent more than $14 million to make this the most expensive house primary in history. Denial is a big part of their ideology.

Regardless of your opinion on Bowman, you shouldn't celebrate an interest group, in this case AIPAC and its big donors, spending a historic $14.5 million in a primary race. Probably not the best thing for democracy.

AIPAC spent nearly $15 million to defeat Jamaal Bowman in this race. It's insane a foreign interest would spend that much money in one House race https://t.co/kdI5WwZ7ln

These facts are not in dispute: AIPAC’s purpose is to benefit a foreign country. If Jamaal Bowman loses today because AIPAC spent $14.5 million against him, everyone in Congress will be scared to death of AIPAC. They will all then serve Israel’s interests to make AIPAC happy.

AIPAC bought another member of Congress.

Anyone who blames protesters for Bowman's defeat is a bad faith moron.
He was defeated by AIPAC & Israel's lobby and the centrist democratic party machine. A few protestors at a last minute GOTV rally really don't move the needle at all.
Keep your eye on the ball.

The prior post ends with this:
“I certainly hope The Pro-Israel, Pro-American Backlash Is Coming. Time is running out.”
Bowman going down, though small, is a step in the right direction.
If anyone on the left thought he had a chance they could easily have matched AIPAC. That he was down 17 pts before AIPAC started their drive against him showed what was going to happen. That he held an unhinged rally outside is district a few days ago and when losing went right to race and those evil Jews shows how farcical his belated “I love Israel” media tour was.
All of The Hamas Squad is just like him
good blame the j ews!!!
I hope the j ewss were responsible for this now let them see that only trump will send in the troops to help protect them
and they better get armed b/c the pos lefty is on the rampage
If you’re talking about sending US troops to defend Israel, Israel doesn’t want that.
They don’t have said so repeatedly. Send them the equipment and they can handle the job themselves. I don’ recall Trump ever saying he would send any troops over to Israel but maybe he did at some time. I do know we have had troops in there on a regular basis training for decades. Hell, I was there in the 80’s. I also know we have boots on the ground courtesy of Brandon in Gaza right now and not to rescue the Americans held hostage but to rescue that silly pier that washed ashore with a couple of ships,
your cute attempt to evade censors with that space so you can spew you hatred of jews isn’t needed on this site. Go ahead and say Jews if you want unless you just cant bring yourself to type it.
I think you’re misunderstanding “destroycommunism”. Which isn’t difficult since he is mostly incoherent. If this were Disqus I would have blocked him a long time ago.
I understand him fine. Spaces, misspelled words and inserting characters for letters is a common tactic. One space is a typo. 2 identical spaces in one post on the same word is intentional. Rail against Jews but make a coherent argument.
Bye. 15 Minutes…….
Now Bowman can pursue an exciting new career as a fire alarm tester. Good times!
Perhaps he can go back to ruining the hearts and minds of New York children as an educator or a principal. DIE all the way.
At least the democrats can rejoice that they have gotten rid of a stupid moron who doesn’t know how a door alarm works, when every school in America has the same setup.
Now they just need to rid themselves of the moronic bartender who doesn’t know how a garbage disposal works.
Or a sumo wrestler.
They never had a member. They’re chicks … even though the female character of some is a bit questionable.
Bowman was just a cheerleader for the girls, or something like that. They let him tag along for a bit.
He was an “ally.”
(Nobody tell what that word really MEANS — boy, would he be pissed at how he got snookered.)
They are like all the beta males hanging with the Kufiyah Karens hoping to get a piece. Not as smart, not as committed and happy to let women take the lead.
Bowman got excited every time one of the front holes handed him his balls from their purse.
He was squad adjacent.. something like that. Good riddance.
He was in the House, right?
OK, I understand his function now.
He is a walking, talking example of a SIMP. A useful idiot to a bunch of front holes* who hate America and men.
*Since the left coined the term front hole so they didn’t have to refer to a cervix, I will forever refer to leftist Womynx as front holes.
But sometimes I just have to channel Karl Urban / Billy Butcher.
It’s a crack in the squad and a message that the democrats better pull back from becoming the party of anti Jewish hate before it’s too late.
But, but, but, isn’t it racist that a black member of the Howze of Representin’ lost to a white male because of the (shhhhh, whisper the following) Jooooooz?
It always amazes me, but I don’t know why, that the left always refers to Jews and the use of their $$$$$$$ to ruin a society.
Adolph and his merry band of murderers used it quite frequently to gin up hatred toward that population almost 100 years ago.
Funny
Good.
He didn’t just lose, he got his ass kicked.
Now for the rest of the Squad.
Neither Cori Bush nor AOC her ownself are safe.
New Yorkers were stupid enough to reelect AOC. They must want to date that skipping and dancing hyena!!!
She won’t win another term, IMO.
Of course she will. The D primaries are over, and she is the D candidate for a seat that a literal rat with a D after its name would win.
I see that she won her primary with 82% of the vote, against a “moderate” Democrat.
She will clearly win this term. I still don’t think she wins her next primary.
Nancy Pelosi literally said on tv that “that glass of water would win in that congressional district” if received the democrat nomination.
2 years ago the Republicans had one or two decent candidates in AOC’s district. I kept “telling” them (via random internet posts, but I may have sent emails too) to primary AOC instead.
There is no point to be a R candidate in that district. The Dem primary is the election. I was in the city yesterday and I can tell you, subway traffic was way above normal. Big turnout for the big decision day for all local races: the D primary.
And this is why I am registered to vote as a D. The only time I have ever voted for a D at a general election was in 2009, for Bill Thompson against Michael Bloomberg. But occasionally there’s a DINO running in the primary, or at least a slightly less-insane D with a chance of winning, so being allowed to vote in their primary is useful.
More like a dancing donkey!
AOC won hers and Bowman overwhelmingly took the Bronx vote so I guess NYC isn’t entirely done with the stupid quite yet.
Another few months of Hamassholes rampaging may change their minds.
Maybe if she takes the Bowman route and goes full Nazi screaming JOOOOOOOOSSSSSS, ITS THE JOOOOOOOSSSSSS.
Yeah, well he is right. When you alienate a giant chunk of your constituents and they are the ones who will show up to vote you have quite a problem on your hands.
As for AOC…it’s a long ways to Chicago and a hot summer to get there. The rumblings of people sick of illegals burning, looting and pillaging their neighborhoods is getting louder. Add in the freaks in scarfs and masks destroying crap at random while shouting Death to America and the Jews. Could be the breaking point for the Dem NYC Machine
“Could be the breaking point for the Dem NYC Machine”
From your lips to God’s ears.
Her district doesn’t have many Jews.
Not so sure.
Like the Mafia, they spread some of their chips around.
To purchase loyalty. (Or at least neutrality)
Indeed, if Bowman only lost by 10%, it’s a very bad sign. But we have bad sign after bad sign. In the words of #44, America has fundamentally changed.
A NY jury managed to convict a major political candidate of “felonies” that a generation ago would have been laughed out of court as obvious and irrelevant political gamesmanship. 12/12 voted for some version of the charges being true (not all the same version apparently). The judge couldn’t force them to do that (he did try but he could not force them), but they did vote to convict, every single one of them. That speaks to “who we are”. Derek Chauvin and all 3 Arbery defendants, also convicted by unanimous verdicts. That’s what Americans do these days. That is now who we are. There are exceptions, but they’re just that.
We are not the old country anymore. We can do our best until we’re overwhelmed with demographic and cultural destruction. Maybe Biden makes the left look bad and staves off the decline a bit, even as he imports more decline like Venezuela’s prison population. Trump appointed some good and not-bad SCOTUS justices. But juries tell the story. We have, or we are, a failed population.
“We are not the old country anymore.”
Worse, now we’re the old old country. A single nation on paper, where Serb defendants don’t dare get brought up in front of Croat courtrooms.
Brilliant point. Now we ARE the old country, but what other good place is there for people to flee to? What is the next America?

And never will be. The Bronx is largely lower working class black & Caribbean. Many projects.

THE DEMS ARE THE KKK THE NAZIS THE COMMUNISTS THE BLMPLO

Good riddance to bad rubbish!
The fire engine finally came and took it out?
A pretty big red flag for me to ignore everything someone has to say is when they try to denigrate centrists.
There are no centrists
While $15 million is a big number for a primary race in a CD where 45K votes were cast anyone trying to pin this loss on AIPAC political spending is foolish. Did the ad money help? Yes absolutely but what were the ads about? Bowman’s own actions, his unwavering support for Hamas propaganda, his denunciation of Israel and his ignoring/downplaying the seriousness of the violent protests. His arrogance and galactic stupidity PO the voters in his CD and they threw the bum out.
AIPAC went after a loud anti=semite. Good for them IMO
But yeah, until I see AIPAC manufacturing votes, the people ultimately made the choice and AIPAC just got them the info on how bad this guy was.
Now, his opponent isn’t much better.
That a pro Israel group representing a large number of like minded people in a district went after someone who just last week blamed Israel for Oct 7 and accused them of committing genocide is not surprising. I know the Dems are trying to make AIPAC the bad guys but the fact is that a very substantial majority of Americans are not antisemites and like Israel while hating massacres, hostage taking and terrorists.
Until I see AIPAC manufacturing votes, I’ll think we aren’t trying hard enough. We have to do what they do, better. To hell with principle, that agreement is gone. They have no principles, so we can’t afford the old ones anymore.
He was down 17 pts before AIPAC stepped in. The left wasn’t going to throw money down that rathole for loser like him.
And he lost by only 10 afterward. How much cheating happened, hm I wonder. If they count votes in private and drive away anyone who might interrupt them, cheating is so easy.
The final score according to NBC:
Latimer 58.4%
Bowman 41.6%
Regardless of your opinion on Bowman, you shouldn’t celebrate an interest group, in this case AIPAC and its big donors, spending a historic $14.5 million in a primary race. Probably not the best thing for democracy.

——————————-
My opinion is that it was a good thing that bowman went down in flames. He’s part of a hate group called democrats who want to institute “democracy” for the evil doers in this country.
https://thenewamerican.com/us/culture/history/
Koch was exposed to communism by precept as well as by experience, thanks to the unflagging evangelism of Jerome Livshitz, his handler during his time in the Soviet Union. Livshitz, like many elite Russian revolutionaries, was well educated and eager to debate the alleged merits of the Soviet system with his captive American audience. “In the months I traveled with [Livshitz] he gave me a liberal education in Communist techniques and methods,” Koch recalled:
He told me how the Communists were going to infiltrate the U.S.A. in the schools, universities, churches, labor unions, government, armed forces, and to use his words, “We will make you rotten to the core.” I believe that due to his American experience he was one of the original architects of the Communist plan of subversion of the U.S.A.
But Livshitz — whose life had once been saved by capitalists who plucked him from beneath an automobile — suffered a no less indecorous end than many of Koch’s other Soviet associates; he was liquidated by Stalin in 1936.
“Regardless of your opinion on Bowman, you shouldn’t celebrate an interest group, in this case AIPAC and its big donors, spending a historic $14.5 million in a primary race. Probably not the best thing for democracy.”
Thanks, Ali. Now do Arizona’s Reuben Gallego (D-NY-CA-MA-DC) who gets over 75% of his campaign contributions from those other four places.
One campaign finance reform I could get behind would be to limit out of the CD donations to 20% of the the total. Same for statewide offices, limit out of State donations to 20% of the total. If some candidate wants a huge donation from one of those out of State/out of CD donors they gotta ramp up total donations within the geographic boundaries of the CD or State to accommodate it. This isn’t directly preventing the donation just making it conditional and we already have all sorts of conditions to be met under our campaign finance system.
That would violate the 1st amendment. As far as I know AIPAC did not donate one cent to Latimer’s campaign. It ran its own campaign for him, or against Bowman, which the first amendment guarantees it the right to do, without any limits at all. Every American has that same right to do all that is in his power to influence any election anywhere in the USA.
People who live in the district can’t be privileged over other Americans. Their opinions are not more valuable than those of others.
Meh, maybe, maybe not. It would all depend upon the composition of SCOTUS at the time the test case was argued. If a particular iteration of SCOTUS says yes then until an opposing majority is formed on the CT and another relevant case is heard to challenge the status quo then that’s what we gotta live with.
Applying the your logic to 2A we see that a Citizen from one CD in a Red State exercising their rights to travel to another CD in a Blue State say Alabama to NY would encounter different interpretations of his US Constitutional rights to keep and bear arms not only at his NY destination but within each State along his route.
That attitude violates federalism entirely. “Other Americans” have zero right to a say in who represents some state they don’t live in. (I’m talking about the Gallego case where they are, in fact, direct campaign contributions.)
But they have the unlimited and unalienable right to do all they can to persuade those who do have a say.
Who represents every district affects every American equally, because that person will be voting on the laws and taxes that will control every American. It is ridiculous to claim that it’s none of your business if some voters in Berkeley wish to elect a communist who will vote to enslave you. It’s very much your business, and the first amendment protects your right to communicate with them and try to convince them that they’re making a mistake.
Regulation even of direct campaign contributions violates the freedom of speech, and the Supreme Court has allowed it only because it passes strict scrutiny, i.e. there is a compelling government interest (preventing bribery) that can’t be satisfied any other way. Thus it must be narrowly tailored to that interest; any regulation that isn’t necessary to prevent bribery is invalid. If that bribery could have been prevented by some less restrictive means, it must be, and the broader method is invalid.
If people are making < $2000 donations to Gallego's campaign, they are no more likely to be bribing him if they live outside his district than if they live in it, so a regulation that makes such a distinction would be invalid.
Even if you were to catch a supreme court at the right moment to approve what you suggest, it would still be just as wrong, a violation of the fundamental freedom of speech with which we are all endowed from birth by our Creator. Just as is the case with the ban on foreigners making campaign donations; US courts may have no jurisdiction to enforce their rights against the US government, but those rights are just as real.
Sadly, any limits on campaign donations increases the influence of the leftist media.
And spawn simple but effective strategies for masking the actual source of donations.
There’s no question that we have laws written to ban non-resident foreigners from donating to US campaigns… but here in Arizona, the cartels evade that easily with convoluted real-estate transactions.
Wajahat Ali’s idea of “democracy” is the worst thing for the country. Think of all those lefty talking heads on TV parroting the same garbage about “our democracy”.
Did he try pulling the fire alarm?
Yes. He did. But all of his supporters exited the building.
It was next to the Jews Only water fountain so he refused to touch it
That loon still received 45% of the votes. Those Dems sure love their socialists!
the Bronx has a lot of black people and that is all it takes to get their votes. I bet if you asked them about anything to do with Bowman they would have no idea.
“I jus’ voted for him because he black!”
–Informed 19th Amendment Voter on Jimmy Kimmel “Man in The Street” Segment
So, let me get this straight. The candidate doesn’t matter at all, just the money spent. And the fact that Bowman is a bigoted imbecile is less important than who spent money against him?
Have people forgotten how Bowman was elected to his congressional seat? In 2020, he primaried another Democrat, Elliot Engel. If it is a sin to primary another Democrat, why did Bowman primary Engel?
Meh. Jamaal Bowman was a douche bag long before October 7.
“Genocidal Racist Democrat Bowman….”
I guess someone hasn’t yet pulled the alarm, but it sure is within reach and just needs a bit of signage adjustment.
Good riddance to this vile, bigoted, Jew-hating, Islamofascist-sympathizing POS and demagogue.
The margin of victory should have been fifty-plus percent. Shows what dark times we live in.
Now, it’s time to get rid of the rest of his wretched, Dhimmi-crat ilk.
I see these media tools complaining that American Jews are agitating to influence election outcomes.
As if CAIR and its Muslim members don’t do anything along those lines.
They’;re all American citizens, and are fully entitled to influence American elections. There’s nothing sinister about it, it’s a core constitutional right.
Sure Milquetoast. It’s all a core Constitutional right.
But the left is the only group that wants to remove that right.
But that’s OK. It’s a core Constitutional right.
It is a core constitutional right, which means it doesn’t matter what the left wants. Violating it is inherently wrong.
Why are we talking about right and wrong? All that matters now is what works. Rinos are people who will still talk about principle and stutter about how shocking everything is. DJT Jr. is an example here. He never proposes workable solutions, just acts shocked, shocked. Gets people angry and frustrated. That is the wrong frame of mind!
But workable solutions would be too mean and unprincipled for that loser and others who do the same.
Good news for Jamaal — Fire Marshal Bill is hiring!
Reminder that his stunt with the fire alarm not only didn’t affect the vote then happening over in the House, there was no way it could have affected it, which means that the idea that that was his purpose is nothing but stupid speculation. I have no idea why he did it, but I am 100% confident it wasn’t that.
(His own explanation made even less sense than the speculation from the right, and was obviously false. So that’s no use in answering the question. I think it will always remain a mystery. Maybe he was just being stupid, like the teenagers he used to be in charge of as a teacher and a principal. At that last campaign rally he certainly spoke like a juvenile delinquent.)
I disagree. I don’t think he is the smartest and probably thought delaying it was going to help some last minute maneuvering to stop the bill.
He did. Otherwise, you’d have to believe it was just one giant coincidence that a sitting Congressman would commit a felony in one of the most secure buildings in the country at the exact same time a vote was to occur.
1. It wasn’t a felony.
2. The vote wasn’t “was to occur”. It was occurring. There was no way it could possibly have been affected by the fire alarm, and indeed it wasn’t. Nobody in the Capitol even knew the alarm was happening. Why would they?
Therefore the fact that it happened at the same time was a coincidence.
I didn’t ask why he would want to delay the vote. That’s not the issue. The issue is that there is no way pulling the alarm could have delayed the vote. How could he have imagined it would? As I said, it had no effect whatsoever, and there was never any chance it could. So what was he thinking?
How could he imagine that Jews are segregationist and that sending kids to Jewish schools causes Black antisemitism? Or the things he imagines about AIPAC? How could people imagine that Israel training American cops in detecting and responding to terrorist incidents (NOT arrest techniques or crowd control) leads to supposed high rates of racially inspired police shootings and brutal arrrests?
We have seen the imagination can be ferfetched and the phenomenon is ferflung.
All of those are things supposedly being done somewhere else, far away, by other people. They’re not facts in his life. Pulling a fire alarm is something he did, so if we’re speculating about why he did it we must limit ourselves to reasons that would have made sense to him in his own personal experience. Did he do it to fly to the moon? That’s unlikely. Did he think it would cause the drought to break in wherever was having a drought at that time? Again unlikely. And it’s just as unlikely that he thought pulling a fire alarm in one building would disrupt something happening in entirely different building, across a road and several hundred yards away. He surely had enough experience with fire alarms in his life to know how they work, and how far their disruption spreads.
I didn’t say there was a way to delay it. I said he wasn’t bright enough to know that and probably thought it would.
You remind everyone every time. How can we forget? I don’t know why you are so obsessed.
Occam’s Razor is my response (again).
Please identify a more likely reason he pulled the fire alarm. Was he just feeling lonely?
Occam’s razor only applies if one answer is more likely than another. I don’t have to identify a reason; the point is that the reason you suppose has absolutely no basis at all, and is no more likely than any other. Thinking that it would affect the vote in some way is no more likely than thinking it would cause him to win the lottery, or that it would make it rain in Oklahoma.
We agree on the meaning of Occam’s Razor. Not on it’s application here.
What a fucking moron. It’s a good thing that you are a Democrat. Low expectations.
And that is a damned lie. How dare you accuse me of that?
If there was an evacuation ordered, it most certainly could have affected what was going on in the House chamber. This is not difficult.
There was an evacuation, and it did not affect the House in any way. You do understand, don’t you, that the alarm he pulled was not in the Capitol but in the Cannon Bulding, which is across the road and several minutes’ walk away from the Capitol? Cannon was evacuated; nobody at the Capitol even knew about it. The vote proceeded without any disturbance at all. And there was no way he could have thought anything else would happen, He could just as easily think that pulling an alarm at his Washington apartment, or at his home in New York, would interfere with a vote in the Capitol.
Oh I didn’t know that. Was it really a different building, is that true?
Yes. It was in the Cannon building. The same building in which AOC ludicrously claimed she was in danger of being raped and killed by the Jan-6 rioters at the Capitol. If you participated in the mockery of that hysterical claim then you should be aware of the incongruity between that and the claim that Bowman was hoping a fire alarm there would disrupt a vote at the Capitol.
If you look at a map of the Capitol Hill area, cast your eyes just south and to the east, across Independence Ave and east of New Jersey Ave. The building bounded by Independence, New Jersey, First Street, and C Street is Cannon. That’s where most House members have their offices, including Bowman and AOC. There’s a tunnel through which members can get to the Capitol without going outside, but it’s a goodish distance either way. Members voting in the Capitol would not even be aware that Cannon was being evacuated for a false fire alarm.
Milhouse: “I have no idea why he did it, but I am 100% confident it wasn’t that.”
If you have “no idea why he did it” how can you be “100% confident it wasn’t that”?
Bad hill to die on.
Still waiting for a good working definition of “religion”. SCOTUS needs your help!
We only need a definition for edge cases. Islam is not an edge case. We may not have the founders’ actual definition, but we know from their own words that any definition that excludes Islam is invalid.
For what it’s worth, Johnson’s dictionary gives:
” 2. A system of divine faith and worship as opposite to others.”
Erk. So according to Johnson’s definition it’s OK to teach the non-theistic religions (eg. Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Shintoism) in the public schools?
No, because we know that the founders thought of Hinduism as a religion. They said so.
Milhouse, What about Confucianism and Shintoism? Your failure to engage in this argument looks like you don’t have an intelligent response.
We don’t have any founders (as far as I know) directly mentioning those, so we don’t know whether they would have recognized them as religions. My guess is that they would, because they have many of the trappings of religion that the founders would recognize, but perhaps not. There’s a reason Bruen said we need to resort to “history and tradition”; it’s not because they bind us, but because they give us a clue to how people 200 years ago would have understood the text they left us. It’s only necessary when we no longer know what the text means.
“which means that the idea that that was his purpose is nothing but stupid speculation.”
Maybe he just didn’t have the brainpower to think it through like you did, Milhouse.
Then how do you know he didn’t do it to fly to the moon? How is that less likely than thinking it would affect a vote in the House?
AIPAC could have spent $145 Million. If Bowman was a well liked and competent Congressman it would not have made any difference. The fact is that he is a fool and anti semite which combined with a large portion of his district having a Jewish population who votes did not work out well for him
Keep in mind that no one is claiming that $145 million was spent to lie about him.
When Democrats spend that kind of money on a race, it’s never to tell the truth about a candidate.
Yes, I’ve noticed that despite the hysterical screeching from the left no one including Bowman has managed to point out one wrong thing in any ad against him. This is the lawyers “if you have no argument pound the table louder” method
The reality is the to whatever extent AIPAC did influence this primary, it was effectively to HELP the Democrat party irrespective if that was their intent…or not. This District is 25+ Democrat, at least. Now, with a more mainstream candidate in the General Election, Republicans don’t have a chance of winning. If Bowman would have prevailed, perhaps there would have been some small chance of a Republican stealing that seat, particularly with Trump surging in NY the way he is. Now, we’ll never know. Lattimer is no moderate. He’s a far-left liberal like Schumer & Jefferies. He’ll own that seat for as long as he wants it and I suspect he’ll be a far more productive legislator for the liberals that the moron Bowman ever was or ever could have been.
Probably so. Though if people in the CD get off the couch and out of their ‘we can’t do nothing, my vote doesn’t matter’ mindset and show up to vote and bring their friends and family with them to add their votes in opposition ….it is possible. Lots of these deep blue CD have low/moderate turnout in the general election.NY-16 for example had 45% turnout in 2022. I suspect a large number of non voting but eligible voters are staying home b/c they have given up. Would be a very steep uphill climb for sure but not impossible. Each attempt helps build a foundation for next challenge. It creates local activists, precinct captain, lists of voters to target, persons of influence within the community and most importantly shows there is an alternative even if it is a long shot.
More likely they stay home not because they’ve given up but because they’re happy with the Democrats and know they’re not needed. If there were to be a serious push by Republicans, enough to get them off their couches, they’d probably vote Democrat just to get it over with and get back to their couches.
The way it’s been going, even in that district that includes some of lower Westchester County (Yonkers is hardly better than the Bronx) the Dem candidate automatically wins the general. If it were Bowman (D) vs. Latimer (R) in the general, Bowman would have won. So what you say isn’t right given the realities of that area.
What was Bowman’s position on Federal Reserve strategy?
Bowman’s response:
“Da whut?”
“we need more Federal Reserves to protect more animals”.
This wasn’t just his anti-Semitism.
There is a difference between Democrats who are wrong about everything, fully bought into the narratives because they get their news from outlets like the New York Times who once in awhile read it and say “I wish Republicans paid attention” and Democrats like Jamaal Bowman who would love and cherish it if he got a chance to send us to the gulag.
Wish the rest of the squad would follow him into political oblivion but the fewer Stalins in prominent official positions the better.
AOC next?
Sadly, not today.
But perhaps the upcoming Arab Summer will help people make decision to get off the couch by November.
AOC’s constituency seems to like her. Bowman’s problem is that he had a different constituency. If he were the incumbent in AOC’s district presumably he would have won too, but of course I can’t prove it.
I agree. However, AOC only received a plurality of the voting population in her district.
Perhaps if enough of the couch potatoes stopped watching porn on their smart phones and voted, that could make a difference.
Congress expelled George Santos, but they did nothing about Bowman and the rest of the antisemites.
Democrat.
That’s all we need to know.
Republicans expel Republicans who aren’t pure. Democrats help Republicans expel Republicans who aren’t pure.
Democrats believe that everything they do is Constitutional and for the people. Therefore, they do not expel their ilk.
Ask Milquetoast. He knows all.
Republicans ejected Santos because he was a distraction from The Cathedrals efforts.
Dem’s don’t give a damn about the Constitution or the people as an abstraction. They care only about winning and their friends.
And until we’re the same, they will keep beating us all the time. If we can ever learn and apply what they are showing us, we will win sometimes too but probably not enough to reverse the damage.
How in the world did AOC win her primary?
According to AOC, her shoes. They are now in a museum.
My bet. Knee pads.
All the men in her district want to date her. Just ask her.
Less than 8,000 people voted in the Bronx. Guess it’s a good thing for Latimer that dims in the Bronx are so apathetic.
Time to cancel The Squad for toxic anti-white rhetoric. BLM/CRT is such a fraud.
There will be NO REPARATIONS.
That’s one down, 434 unAmerican traitors left to remove from Congress.
Amusing how repulsed they are about “special interest” money but conveniently ONLY when they lose.
Jamaal: Hamas broke a ceasefire and murdered and kidnapped American citizens.
On October 6, 2023, there was nobody in gaza getting shot or blown up by Israel.
Your friends started this.
Jamaal: Citizens of Israel and other countries are being held by gazans right now. Your friends, the “citizens” of gaza.
Jamaal? Alexandria? Cenk? TommyboyFriedman? Hello there’s at least one 8-year-old girls being held almost 9 months and you blame Israel for lack of a ceasefire? What is wrong with you people?
And Jamaal? Cenk? Alexandria? Friedman? What to do with the rape-babies born to Israeli girls? Hey maybe even to the 8-year-old, such things can happen and she’s older than Fatima right?
And why hasn’t Samantha Power or Michelle Obama weighed in — maybe they just let Jamaal do their talking

If you’re on the side of kidnappers and rapists maybe you’re on the wrong side. FOAD Jamaal. Please.
Maybe in a democracy people are free to vote in socialism, but it costs a lot to vote it out.
Bowman was defeated by his mouth, not AIPAC.
BTW, does anyone know anything about Latimer?
Assume he can’t be worse that “Bow…TO HAMAS…man”.
He’s OK on Israel. He’s a dyed in the wool Dem who would have been too liberal for Westchester County 20 years ago. Now he’s the County Executive, until he wins in November (guaranteed) and moves to DC. He hasn’t been as bad as I feared, but the minute he got into office, he was like Biden. Immediately reversed lots of good conservative and money saving ideas of his predecessor, Rob Astorino. Changed all the construction contracting to re-enable union graft. Immediately workers started sitting around on road construction rather than working hard as they had had to do under Astorino.
