Despite AOC and Bernie Sanders attempting to rally support for New York Congressman Jamaal Bowman, his rabid support for Hamas and toxic progressive behavior was rebuked by his constituents in New York City.
The election was not even close. Jamaal Bowman lost by almost 20 points. It should be noted, the Clinton machine supported his challenger, George Latimer. Pictured below is a screengrab from the super-cringeworthy video Bowman and AOC made last weekend.
[POLITICO] – […] Moderate Democrat George Latimer bested Bowman on Tuesday by 17 points with 88 percent of the vote in, making Bowman the first member of the Squad to lose an election since the far-left group formed in 2018.
Latimer, a challenger who ran like an incumbent, benefited from an unprecedented flood of outside cash in a primary fueled by allegations of racism and the party’s sharp divide over the Israel-Hamas war.
A leading pro-Israel group spent more than $14 million on TV ads to unseat him. And as the results rolled in, it became clear that AIPAC and its super PAC United Democracy Project had succeeded in making an example of the two-term member of Congress for routinely criticizing the Israeli offensive in Gaza.
Latimer, speaking less than an hour after the polls closed, credited his victory to building a broad coalition in the district.
“Tonight we turn a page and we say we believe in inclusion of everybody in our representation — that you are included no matter what your demographic is,” he told a crowd of roughly 500, flanked by former Gov. David Paterson and other supporters. (read more)

Most of the time Fox News builds in plausible deniability; however, this time the notorious Fox News pollster Daron Shaw has gone full bananas on behalf of those who pay him to create polling narratives.
Daron Shaw should be well known to CTH readers {Go Deep}. Shaw has been the Fox News poll manipulator and narrative engineer for over a decade. Knowing the Trump v Biden debate was coming, we knew Fox News would arrange some anti-Trumpism media narrative to capitalize on the predictable corporate theme. However, to see the Fox team make “Threats To Democracy” the #1 concern of voters, is just a talking point too far.
Fox News creating/promoting the “Trump is a Danger to Democracy” narrative via polling, is as predictable as Megyn Kelly and her 2015 “Trump is a sexist” debate narrative. Keep in mind, in order to see the strings on the marionettes you first have to stop pretending the performance is real life. Far too many people are comfortable pretending.
FOX NEWS – […] “The underlying demographic tendencies that have defined the race remain in place,” says Republican pollster Daron Shaw, who conducts Fox News surveys with Democrat Chris Anderson. “Biden has improved slightly with women and seniors, which keeps him afloat despite significant reductions from 2020 in support from younger voters and African Americans.” […] The top two issues to voters are the future of American democracy and the economy. Next, stability and normalcy, followed by immigration and health care. Nearly half say abortion and guns will be extremely important to their vote, while closer to one-third feel that way about standing up to elite interests, climate change, and the Israel-Hamas war.

Funnily enough, President Trump can see exactly what they are doing.
One of the Bidenary impacts to economic analysis and/or economic outcome review has been the inability of any government statistical data to make any sense.
Quite frankly, almost every financial pundit in mainstream media pretends the data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) or the Dept of Commerce is accurate. It’s not, and we all know it.
Just like every other institution in Washington DC, the systems of economic tracking have lost all their credibility.
That said, even with all the pretending intended to prop-up the Biden administration, eventually the results on Main Street are so obvious the data manipulators have to quietly attempt to smooth the disconnect. This story below is about one small part of that operation.
WASHINGTON DC – […] Job growth was overestimated by more than 770,000 last year. Put differently, about 1 in 4 jobs that were supposedly added last year never existed. That’s like eliminating all of the jobs gained in three whole months of 2023.
Overly optimistic employment estimates help explain why polling of people’s perceptions of the economy has been so terrible yet the official data from the Biden administration has looked so robust, at least in terms of the number of jobs. Much of the other data has been downright rotten.
With prices rising faster than earnings, the average worker’s weekly paycheck buys 4.4% less today than when President Biden took office. Homeownership affordability has plummeted because the monthly mortgage payment on a median-price home has more than doubled. Three-quarters of Americans now view fast food as a luxury they can’t afford. Gasoline prices are up 46%.
And now, even the job numbers have lost their luster, especially when you consider that millions of those added jobs are from double counting. Whenever someone who is already employed has to get a second — or even a third — job just to help make ends meet, that increases the number of payrolls, without increasing the number of people employed.

To give you an idea of the scale of the problem, here’s a reminder of SEC Chairman Gensler from last year.
This is the Security and Exchange Commission Chairman.

It is a very strange dynamic to watch the G7 leaders assemble in Italy this year, against a political backdrop there they have essentially been rebuked by the citizens of the nations they are supposed to represent. It’s a very odd dynamic indeed.
PICTURED: German Chancellor Olaf Schulz just lost his election and now exists in the minority within his country. French President Emmanuel Macron just lost an election, quickly cancelled parliament and called for a snap election because he was crushed in the results. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has a minority government, the lowest approval rating ever, and is tenuously clinging to his position. U.K Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is just a few weeks away from leading his party to a total wipe out in the British election; the only question in Great Britain is how badly Sunak will lose. Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has led his country into a position of lengthy economic stagnation, massive inflation and his approval numbers are the lowest in history….. Then there’s Joe Biden, sitting in an even worse position without a literal clue about where he is.
The two European reps, President Ursula von der Leyen (far right above) and Council President Charles Michel (far left above) are not even elected by EU citizens and represent nothing but a bureaucracy of insufferable leftist pontification.
This is what’s called “the G7” and supposed to represent the assembly of the largest industrial economies in the world, which isn’t even accurate any longer. The Russian economy is now larger than Germany, which makes Putin’s economy bigger than any EU nation. It’s a very sad state of affairs and considering the COVID “Build Back Better” agenda the G7 followed, they did this entirely to themselves.
With Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Iran now part of the BRICS+ group, and with dozens of countries wanting to join Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, the G7 is barely relevant as a shrinking majority economic bloc.
Not coincidentally, this G7 assembly is also the group of nations who organized the economic sanctions against Russia.

The Rule of Law has been torn to pieces. The entire Justice System in the United States is rapidly becoming a joke internationally as we border on becoming indistinguishable from the Banana Republic, where the pretense of law is only the self-interest of those in power. In Plato’s classic work, you will find the debate between Thraysmachus and Socrates. More than 2000 years ago, Thrasymachus observed what we see going on right now. JUSTICE is the same in every form of government, be it dictatorship, monarchy, or pretend democracy. JUSTICE is always the self-interest of those in power, and NOTHING has ever changed.
Once power is handed to the government, they will expand that power until they terminate all LIBERTY. That is what the CBDCs are all about – total control. If you protest, your bank account will be seized, and you will starve to death, just as they did to the truckers in Canada. This passage from Thraymachus established beyond a shadow of a doubt that HISTORY REPEATS over and over again, BECAUSE human nature never changes.
It was this very Biden administration that has thrown Trump’s advisors in prison in contempt for asserting Executive Privilege, as in the case of Steve Bannon. Bannon was convicted of contempt of Congress in 2022 after failing to provide documents and testimony to the House Select Committee that investigated the January 6th, 2021, US Capitol attack. He was sentenced to four months in prison. The two MOST corrupt courts in the nation are New York and Washington, DC. They have their own agenda and will never apply the law fairly.
While the Justice Department (DOJ) has turned over transcripts and notes from the interview, The House has maintained that they need the tapes to verify the transcript’s accuracy and to confirm that Mr. Hur’s observation was justified. Attorney General Garland of the Department of Justice will not release the actual video and audio tape because transcripts never give the nuances of human speech. A lawyer will always tell you never to joke in court. If you said yes, I killed JFK as well. When read in a transcript, those words appear to be a confession. Without the audio/video, you would not know if it was a joke or not.
Martin Luther King said, “I have a Dream.” He is not the only one to DREAM. This brings tears to my eyes, for the once great nation, the founders’ DREAM, is crumbling to dust before my eyes, and I fear what I will leave behind for my grandchildren. There was a time when men rose against oppression, and their voices resounded in history. Their words were inviting and hopeful of a new land of honor built upon that DREAM of freedom and liberty.
There was a time when honor was paramount, one’s word was your bond, and the vision of the future was exciting. We have reached a time when it all has gone wrong, bribed by money and only the DREAMS of the elite of endless power above the people. The generations before us fought for that DREAM in a time long gone by, when hope was everything and life was worth living in pursuit of happiness, and they had been enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and then the Bill of Rights.
I studied history and the evolution of law, and I once naively believed that this DREAM of liberty and freedom would never die. We embossed our currency with the phrase In God We Trust and once believed in a merciful and forgiving God who has no longer been worthy of a place in our society. Those DREAMS of the founders we may attribute to a young nation naive with hope, standing unafraid on the battlefield against oppression and tyranny. Those days of noble DREAMS are now only relegated to the unread pages of history books. Our currency is to be relegated to digital entries on a smartphone. There was no reason for one to use the pretense of inclusion and equality to strip the rights of individuals behind the facade of caring for some minority. That unity that produced a nation has been torn apart, pitting one group against another to ensure that by dividing the people, they can conquer the cycle of time and seek to retain perpetual power unassailed forevermore.
Freedom of thought, philosophy, and religion was to be carved on a Stella that stood tall and made of white marble for eternity. But that Stella has been discolored, stained with time, and toppled to the ground ignored by those with power. Its edifice no longer shines or glistens in the sunlight. The Age of Wisdom has been overshadowed by the Age of Darkness, engulfed in corruption, and the thirst for ultimate power has ensured that history will complete its wheel of revolution. There are DREAMS of the perfect land that simply can never be.
Law has no value anymore. As Thrasymachus said long ago, it is only the self-interest of those in power. Such is the fate of all civilizations, for they are all buried in a common grave. Garland is an absolute disgrace to the United States. To even argue that voter ID is not necessary when they are secretly pushing for total control with Digital Currencies and IDs so the elite can defeat the wheel of time.

COMMENT: Dear Mr Armstrong, Thanks for your interesting blog and for all you Are doing for all humanity…
Concerning possibility to come to USA, I would Like to emphasize that while from day one of Biden’s presidency, USA south borders are Opened to anyone passing through, with no need to have documents or declare real data, Italians (and I guess european too) that want to come to USA in order to work and live there, still have a lot of limitations and Regulations to adhere (even if “called” from a US Firm… but I am sure you know it! which finally make it Almost impossible to come even if specialized And with clean record. All the best! Have a nice week-end! Daniela
REPLY: I have spent more than $50,000 on lawyers trying to get my overseas staff into the USA. It very frustrating. I intend to file a lawsuit against Homeland Security for DISCRIMINATION and violating civil rights. What you say is correct. They refuse to even issue a visa in Russia, I had a German staff member who boarded a plane and then was pulled off. A British staff member refused to give a visa and refused to explain why, using the standard nonsense that perhaps they would not leave. I told my staff to put on a T-shirt, I voted for Biden and just walked across the Mexican border.
I can tell you I have seen instructions to Homeland Security that if anyone from Ukraine wanted to come to the USA, they MUST have a COVID-19 vaccine. However, if a Ukrainian walked across the Mexican border, no vaccine is required.
This policy is exactly what I encountered trying to negotiate for Hong Kong with the Australian government. It was ONLY about who they would vote for. Australia blocked them because they would vote CONSERVATIVE when the LABOUR government was in power.
I am so sick and tired of this nonsense that people from Asia and Europe cannot come to the USA simply because they would vote Republican. The USA will break up. This is unsustainable. That film scene from the Movie Civil War was really on point – What kind of American are you?
We may have to start doing conferences in Dubai and Mexico. So much for the land of the free.

The rigged judicial system has selected a jury for Hunter Biden’s federal gun trial who are truly a group of his peers. The 54-year-old First Son pleaded not guilty to lying about his crack cocaine abuse when purchasing a firearm. He later had his brother’s ex-wife and former affair partner discard that weapon in public near a school, but she is not facing charges for that simple mistake. Hunter is looking at three felony charges related to this single incident, as no one is prosecuting him for the numerous crimes found on his Laptop From Hell or the blatant misuse of his father’s political standing when conducting business in China and Ukraine.
“Addiction may not be a choice, but lying and buying a gun is a choice,” Hunter’s lawyer stated in his opening comments. “We would not be here today if he was just a drug addict.” There is photographic evidence on his laptop of him using drugs. He wrote a book entitled, “Beautiful Things,” in which he admits to being addicted to crack cocaine during the time he purchased the firearm. There was a voicemail found from his father a few days before Hunter purchased the gun, asking him to get help. The evidence against him is overwhelming.
Who has the liberal justice system appointed to judge Hunter? They all happen to have ties to the liberal party and/or would be extremely sympathetic to anyone facing charges due to drug usage. One juror had a childhood best friend die from a heroin overdose, while another had a brother-in-law die from alcoholism, and the juror believes it is a “disease.” A third juror had a brother arrested for possessing narcotics and his father was shot dead. A fourth juror admitted to having a brother who is addicted to both heroin and PCP. One woman on the jury was actually in the Secret Service, and her husband still serves in the Secret Service. You really cannot make this stuff up. One young juror has a DUI charge, while another said that marijuana use should not prevent someone from owning a firearm. The alternate juror had donated to the Obama campaign.
This gun charge is nothing compared to what Hunter Biden has done regarding state secrets, but those crimes were committed with the help of “the Big Guy” and won’t see the light of day in a courtroom.
Donald Trump has a jury of people who the courts knew would never sympathize with him. He was convicted on 34 separate felony cases related to hush money. Thirty-four charges. We clearly have a two-tiered justice system where those in the establishment are simply above the law.
