SICK: DE BLASIO CALLS ABORTION A ‘SACRED CHOICE’

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio made a very disgusting comment while appearing on Fox News last week. He called abortion a “sacred choice” for women, showing how the act of murder has become a religious sacrament to modern godless liberals.

De Blasio also refused to answer questions about Virginia Governor Ralph ‘Coonman’ Northam’s infamous comments endorsing infanticide. He denies the truth that these are the type of abominations that occur inside abortion clinics, but pro-life activist and NewsMax commentator Maria McFadden Maffucci is correcting de Blasio’s lies.

“I wrote about one such baby here, Melissa Ohden, who in 1977 survived a saline abortion, and was left on the table to die — but an attending nurse couldn’t stand watching her gasp for breath and rushed her to the NICU,” she wrote.

“Those who deny the humanity of babies are the ones desperately putting up smokescreens,” she added.

Under de Blasio’s rule over NYC, he has allowed abortions to skyrocket to epidemic levels. There are now four times as many abortions as there are homicides in the city. De Blasio’s leftist legacy as NYC Mayor will be defined, in part, by inhumane cruelty toward the unborn.

JEFFREY EPSTEIN FOUND DEAD IN NYC JAIL CELL

Convicted sex predator Jeffrey Epstein was found dead on Saturday morning in his jail cell in what the fake news media is calling a suicide, but many skeptical observers are calling a homicide.

The coroner’s report released on Thursday indicated that broken bones were found in Epstein’s neck, which would be very unlikely if he hanged himself. That type of trauma is far more likely to happen during a strangulation, however, it is possible to be caused by suicide.

President Donald Trump and Attorney General William Barr are calling for a full investigation into Epstein’s mysterious death and claim that justice will still be served for Epstein’s victims despite his mysterious demise.

“Mr. Epstein’s death raises serious questions that must be answered. In addition to the FBI’s investigation, I have consulted with the Inspector General who is opening an investigation into the circumstances of Mr. Epstein’s death,” Barr said in a press release this weekend.

“Basically what we’re saying is we want an investigation. I want a full investigation, and that’s what I absolutely am demanding. That’s what our attorney general, our great attorney general is doing. He’s doing a full investigation,” Trump said to reporters in New Jersey on Tuesday.

I do not necessarily believe in conspiracy theories and I certainly support Attorney General Barr’s call for an investigation into Epstein’s death. The circumstances surrounding Epstein’s death indicate clearly that mistakes were made and only an investigation will resolve the questions.

PRESIDENT TRUMP EYES GREENLAND FOR ‘AMERICA FIRST’ REAL ESTATE COUP

 President Donald Trump is looking to expand the real estate holdings of the United States by acquiring Greenland.

Trump is looking to use his real estate acumen to add to America’s greatness, similar to founding father Thomas Jefferson when he secured the Louisiana Purchase. Greenland is considered an autonomous territory of Denmark, but Trump intends to make the Danes an offer they cannot refuse.

He has talked about the idea frequently with lawmakers, and is apparently serious about making an effort to make the deal happen. He has White House aides currently exploring the possibility of an acquisition right now.

“What do you guys think about that?” Trump reportedly asked a room full of his close associates last year regarding the purchase of Greenland, according to the Wall Street Journal. “Do you think it would work?”

Previously, former administrations had wanted to get a hold of Greenland, often called the Hamptons of the arctic circle. Under President Harry Truman, the U.S. tried to buy Greenland in 1946 but failed, and Secretary of State William Seward had inquired about the possibility all the way back in 1867.

They may have lacked the ability to pull it off, but things may be different for the master negotiator in the White House right now. The dealmaker-in-chief has the will and the talent to make history, bringing Greenland and its tremendous natural resources into the U.S. sphere of influence where it belongs.

HANNITY BLASTS DE BLASIO IN FACE-TO-FACE SMACKDOWN

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, in a desperate attempt to buoy his flailing presidential candidacy, squared off head-to-head with Sean Hannity on Fox News Wednesday night.

“I’m never going to agree with you. You drive me crazy!” Hannity yelled at the spectacularly unpopular public official.

Hannity forced de Blasio into defending socialist policies like massive new tax hikes and government benefits for illegal immigrants.

“Do you think right now your viewers feel that it’s OK that the wealthy have as much as they have and pay as little in taxes as they do?” de Blasio said about his proposal to hike taxes.

“I want everybody who’s here (in New York) to get health care because what’s happening right now? Folks go to the emergency room because they don’t have a doctor, and who’s paying for it? The same taxpayers,” said de Blasio of his support for subsidized health care for illegals.

Many liberals are not happy that de Blasio was willing to sit down with Hannity, and the interview did not likely do him any favors with his party’s radicalized base.

“Millions and millions of Americans are watching and we shouldn’t stereotype them,” de Blasio said on Monday. “A lot of those folks watching are working people who are listening to change in one form or another. And I think it’s important to challenge those right-wing voices. And while we’re having a presidential election, we have to speak to all of America.”

The risk may have been worth it for de Blasio, as there was nothing to lose. Polling at zero percent, there is nowhere to go but up for the nation’s worst mayor.

SPEAKER HEASTIE IS SENDING THE WRONG MESSAGE WHEN HE WON’T BACK FELONY CHARGES FOR POLICE ATTACKS

 The Speaker of the Assembly said this week that he didn’t think adding new penalties and laws on offenders was the right solution for the current trend of throwing water on law enforcement officers.  The NYS Assembly’s reputation has always been one of leniency toward criminals. This year they eliminated cash bail for non-violent offenders and supported drivers’ licenses for illegal immigrants and passed the DREAM Act that uses tax-payers money to fund aid to illegal immigrants for college.   With this history, it any wonder that the leader of the Assembly would not stand up for the men and women who put their lives on the line every day in order to keep every person safe?

It appears that Speaker Heastie and the democratic controlled Assembly would prefer to coddle criminals than the men and woman who risk their lives to keep New York City safe.

Assemblyman Mike LiPetri, who appeared on America’s Newsroom this morning, is right when he states this is  common sense legislation. When the Speaker said adding new penalties and laws wasn’t the right solution, essentially he gave the thugs carte blanche to continue – and possibly escalate – the attacks on NY” s Finest.

GOVERNOR CUOMO’S POPULARITY RATING FALLS TO NEW LOW

The people of New York must be getting sick of the nanny state, if the approval rating of Governor Andrew Cuomo is any indicator.

Siena College released a poll on Tuesday showing that Cuomo’s approval rating is the lowest it has been since he was elected Governor in 2011. Only 34 percent of voters believe that he is doing a good or excellent job while a stunning 64 percent of voters rated his job performance as poor or fair.

Some of Cuomo’s worst hits as Governor from this year alone include giving drivers licenses to illegal immigrants, eliminating religious exemptions for vaccinations, banning the use of single-use plastic bags, and mandatory socialist benefits for farm workers.

Cuomo is particularly unpopular with Republicans, independents and residents of upstate New York. Basically, anyone in the state of New York who can’t stand the tax-and-spend Controller-in-chief
at this point.

MAN BEATEN IN NYC FOR WEARING MAGA HAT

As the liberal media and Democratic Party officials try to manufacture an epidemic of right-wing racism, the real threat is coming from the Left as extremism rises sharply amongst their ranks.

Another example of this epidemic happened on Tuesday in New York City where a minority Trump supporter was viciously beaten for wearing a MAGA hat. 42-year-old John Turan reported that he was ambushed by a mob while on Canal Street.

“I love President Trump. I think he’s doing a great job,” Turan said.

About 15 youths cursed out Trump as they stomped on Turan’s face, causing a cheek fracture and an extremely swollen eye. He will likely never wear the MAGA hat publicly ever again because of the terrorist intimidation against him.

“It’s sad to get beat up for wearing this hat. This is America,” Turan said.

It won’t be America for much longer if the militant Left can regain control of the country in 2020. While most hate crimes reported by the Left turn out to be phony ala Jussie Smollett, the epidemic of terrorism inflicted on conservatives and Trump supporters is all too real.

NYC’S RACIAL SCHOOL CURRICULUM ENRAGES PARENTS

New York City continues to crumble under the stewardship of clueless Mayor Bill de Blasio, and the latest disgrace is a race-based school curriculum that injects social justice dogma into public schools to the detriment of all children.

“I think it’s just wrong. I think it’s misguided,” parent Yiatin Chu said to CBS New York.

Maurice Blackmon, a NYC teacher who apparently supports the changes, explained the changes that he is already in the process of implementing.

“What am I teaching, how am I teaching, based on who I’m teaching,” he said

Under the new curriculum, teachers like Blackmon will be teaching their predominantly Latin and African-American students about hip-hop artists in social studies class.

“For instance as a social studies teacher that serves a student body that is primarily Latin and black I have designed curricula around the hip-hop culture,” Blackmon said.

Chu believes that certain communities, including Asian-Americans, are being hurt by this curriculum that is dumbing down and politicizing education for all students.

“The Asian community, specifically the Chinese community, is one of the poorest communities in New York City and I’m disgusted that the mayor treats our group this way – aligning us with white privilege,” Chu said during a contentious meeting in Chinatown.

Children in public schools have become glorified guinea pigs for liberal creeps who want to train a generation of automatons unable to challenge their perverse dogma.

DEMOCRATS CONTINUE TO EMBARRASS WITH THEIR REMARKS

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s presidential ambitions are not gaining any momentum after months of campaigning, and his debate performance on stage in Detroit earlier this week showed why he has no shot at gaining the Democratic Party nomination to face Trump in 2020.

During his opening salvo, de Blasio was heckled by ‘Black Lives Matter’ activists who yelled at him “Fire Pantaleo” – referring to the cop who was involved in the death of Eric Garner. As usual, de Blasio passed the buck and blamed others for his own substandard leadership.

“There is finally going to be justice in the next 30 days in New York,” de Blasio claimed. Making matters worse, de Blasio was embarrassed by ‘Sleepy’ Joe Biden of all people.

“I don’t hear an answer from the vice president,” de Blasio said to Biden regarding former President Obama’s aggressive deportation policies. “Did you say those deportations were a good idea, or did you go to the president and say, ‘This is a mistake, we shouldn’t do it.’ Which one?”

“I was vice president. I am not the president. I keep my recommendation in private. Unlike you. I’d expect you would go ahead and say whatever was said privately,” Biden snapped back to de Blasio.

De Blasio wasn’t the only candidate who disappointed during the week’s debates Even Democratic Party leaders are expressing public concern over how awful the debates were for the Party.

“I think these debates are really silly,” he said. “Just the incessant focus on these relative minor divisions between candidates might make for good TV but I don’t think gives people an accurate portrayal of the stakes of this election,” Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut said.

“If we get all focused on the differences between, say Bernie [Sanders] and Cory [Booker] and Mayor Pete [Buttigieg] and [John] Hickenlooper, we’ll lose sight of the fact that it’s Donald Trump who’s now trying to reduce health care, destroy health care, get it rid for everybody,” New York Sen. Chuck Schumer said. “That’s a trap we shouldn’t fall into.”

“People take sides and then they become hypersensitive and that just makes divisions all over the party and we don’t want that,” she said. “I want every one of our candidates to do well,” Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California said.

Beto O’Rourke, who lives in the border town of El Paso, Texas, in explaining his stance on decriminalizing border crossings by undocumented immigrants, said: “In my administration, after we have waived citizenship fees for green card holders, more than 9 million of our fellow Americans, free Dreamers who many fear of deportation, and stop criminally prosecuting families and children for seeking asylum and refuge, and for-profit detention, and so that no family has to make that 2,000-mile journey, then I expect that people who come here follow our laws and we reserve the right to criminally prosecute them.”

Meanwhile Presidential Candidate Marianne Williamson pledged to reverse Trump’s Golan Recognition: “I would rescind the president’s affirmation of sovereignty of Israel over the Golan Heights,” she said in response to the Council on Foreign Relations. “I understand the occupation of the Golan, but only until there is a stable government in Syria with whom one can negotiate.”

With Democratic Party leaders admitting the perilous nature of their field, things are looking good for Trump’s re-election chances in 2020.
