Every time we turn around these days, there is another Democrat calling to pack the U.S. Supreme Court. They think this is a perfectly reasonable way to make the court more leftist.

Apparently, they don’t like it when this tactic is used against them.

In Brooklyn, the Democratic Party is trying to pack their executive committee because they want more voting members. And yet, Mayor Mamdani opposes this move, claiming that it subverts the will of the people. Oh really?

FOX News reports:

Mamdani jumps into Democratic Party feud, alleging boss seeking to subvert ‘will of voters’

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is opposing a last-minute push to overhaul Brooklyn Democratic Party rules, arguing the proposed changes would undermine voters after reformers made gains in the June primary.

“I very much oppose these proposed changes, by the current Brooklyn Democratic Party chair,” Mamdani said. “I oppose them because they are an attempt to circumnavigate the will of voters.”

The proposals from Brooklyn Democratic Party chair Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn would add more than two dozen voting members to the party’s executive committee, which will choose the party chair this fall, after a slate of reformers won 22 district leader seats in the June primary, according to the City Reporter.

The newly elected district leaders will not take their seats until the fall, and Bichotte Hermelyn and her supporters still hold a majority as current district leaders prepare to vote on the proposed changes Tuesday night, according to the outlet.

Bichotte Hermelyn has described the changes as an effort to broaden participation in the party.

“We want to create a perception of inclusiveness,” she told NY1. In a video released by the Brooklyn Democratic organization, she said the proposals would “expand leadership” and “expand representation.”

What’ the problem, Mr. Mayor? Your party is always telling us that packing bodies like this is a good thing.

Suddenly, when his power is threatened, we have to respect the will of the voters?

Is that how this works?

Barack Obama Elementary School in Virginia has been closed indefinitely due to an infestation of mold and rodents. You could not make this up.

All of the other schools in the area are open for business. The school that is named for former President Obama is the only one with this issue.

At least one parent in the video report below claims that this is the second time that mold has closed the school.

CBS 6 in Richmond reports:

Mold forces indefinite closure of Barack Obama Elementary as new school year begins

Barack Obama Elementary School will not open this week due to mold, and students will temporarily relocate to Clark Springs Elementary School while remediation continues.

Richmond Public Schools Superintendent Jason Kamras said in a message to families Monday that teachers and staff setting up classrooms discovered “additional areas of mold growth (for example, behind bulletin board paper),” prompting the district to send everyone home for additional cleaning and testing.

“All of this is realistically going to take several days. So we will not be returning to the Obama building this week. Our goal is to do so by Monday,” Kamras wrote. “In the interim, we are working to get Clark Springs Elementary School ready as a temporary space. We’ll have more information about that by tomorrow. For now, school is closed on Tuesday.”

“Roller coaster is a good word,” said Samieh, a parent of students at the school for the past seven years, of the past five days. “The information keeps kind of cascading of ‘This is what’s going to happen. Oh, actually, it’s not what’s going to happen. Oh, we’re good. Oh, we’re not good.’.”

The district had already pushed back Barack Obama Elementary’s first day from Monday, Aug. 24, after air quality tests showed elevated mold spore levels inside the building.

Kamras said the mold growth stemmed from an HVAC outage that caused mold to spread in the school’s basement and on some furniture. The district also received reports of rodents in several rooms.

Here’s the video report:

Why isn’t Obama down there raising hell and making sure that the school that bears his name is cleaned up?

Could it be that he really doesn’t care?

Abdul El-Sayed, the radical DSA type candidate running for U.S. Senate in Michigan, went on the Jesse Watters show on FOX News tonight. It did not go well for him.

Watters kept attempting to ask El-Sayed legitimate questions and instead of answering, he just kept trying to filibuster his way through it and offer his own campaign talking points.

If the goal here was to make El-Sayed seem more appealing as a candidate, it was a failure.

Transcript via Overton News:

JESSE WATTERS: “I don’t want you guys to blow the country up. Do you know how much the federal budget is now?”

ABDUL EL-SAYED: “No. Neither do I. Pete Hegseth –”

JESSE WATTERS: “Answer the question. Do you know what the federal budget is for?”

ABDUL EL-SAYED: “I just want to talk about this. You want to talk about budgets. I’m happy to do that. The guy who used to work on your channel, I think he was the sixth host on that five. He wanted to raise our military budget to $1.5 trillion, and you don’t seem to be upset about that. So we can fight we don’t know how to get out of to raise our gas prices five dollars a gallon? That doesn’t make sense to me, Jesse.”

From there the ad hominens started coming in.

JESSE WATTERS “I have a feeling, Abdul, you don’t even know how much money the government spends every year. Do you know?”

ABDUL EL-SAYED: “Look, the question, Jesse, to me –”

JESSE WATTERS: “Alright, so you don’t know. Let me tell you what it is. It’s $7 trillion a year, and your plan to take over the health care system is four trillion.”

ABDUL-EL SAYED: “To exactly your point –”

JESSE WATTERS: “I’m not very good at math, I don’t think you’re very good at math either. Go ahead.”

ABDUL EL-SAYED: “Clearly. Clearly you don’t. And you don’t seem to care, but I don’t think most Americans want to spend that much money on military escapades so that the folks stranded on the USS Abraham Lincoln can even get a sausage for breakfast, because I just think that we could do a whole lot better with our money. And I think that’s where you and I –”

JESSE WATTERS: “Yeah, I disagree. I think if you spend $4 trillion, everything else is going to get really expensive.”

Here’s the video:

Abdul El-Sayed doesn’t even know what the federal budget is, yet he wants to spend 4 TRILLION DOLLARS on medicare-for-all.

This moment about the transing of kids was rather surreal:

El-Sayed: “Are you circumcised?”

The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) union, the largest union of its kind in America, is now urging parents not to buy back-to-school supplies at Target because in the union’s opinion, the retail chain has not been loud enough in the left’s battle against ICE.

What does this have to do with schools or educating children? Nothing, in fact. It’s just left wing activism because that’s what teacher unions do now.

The teacher unions are nothing more than an extension of the Democrat Party.

FOX News reports:

American Federation of Teachers launches boycott against Target, claims retailer ‘remained silent’ on ICE

American Federation of Teachers (AFT) President Randi Weingarten promoted a nationwide back-to-school boycott of retail giant Target over the weekend because the company had not condemned ICE operations in Minnesota — the location of its headquarters — prompting criticism from education advocates and a call for federal scrutiny.

“We gave Target ample time to stand with the communities in which they operate and help their neighbors, but its silence about federal immigration abuses has been deafening,” Weingarten said in a statement.

“The issue could not be more pressing: Seven months since the murders of Alex Pretti and Renée Good, masked ICE agents are still in our streets, our schools and our communities, terrorizing families in the name of Donald Trump’s illegal and immoral assault on immigrants striving for their American Dream,” she continued. “That’s why we’re urging our members to avoid Target and patronize more ethical shopping alternatives this back-to-school season.”

Here’s more from the AFT press release:

AFT Launches ‘Shop Smart, Not Target’ Campaign for Back-to-School

As teachers and families head back to school, the AFT has launched a nationwide campaign to urge them to shop at retailers other than Target for their school supplies. The “Shop Smart, Support Working Families” campaign was created in response to Target’s refusal to condemn the unlawful Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity that continues to roil communities around the country. A new website, ShopSmart.AFT.org, along with an associated digital and print ad initiative, helps educators and families shop for school supplies at local stores and outlets that respect labor rights, instead of at Target.

The AFT’s 1.875 million members spend an average of $895 of their own money on school supplies each year and hold billions in Target stock via their pension accounts. In March, the union passed a resolution demanding the Minneapolis-based business speak up against the ICE atrocities in their own backyard and called for a comprehensive back-to-school campaign if it failed to take meaningful action.

These people are political activists who do not care about education.

They just want Democrats in power.

Mara Gay of the New York Time appeared on MSNOW’s Morning Joe today in a blatant attempt to soften the image of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).

It should be noted that Mara Gay is the same idiot who can’t do basic math and was ‘disturbed’ by the sight of American flags on July 4th.

In the segment, she speaks to a voter who just loves the idea of ‘Medicare for All’ and Gay notes that ideas like that are very popular unlike concepts like defunding police and closing prisons.

Transcript via NewsBusters:

WILLIE GEIST: There’s been so much talk about this Democratic Socialist movement that spans from New York City, but now to Michigan, and then, a couple of nights ago in the state of Florida, where Angie Nixon, who we had on the show yesterday, won a double-digit victory over Alexander Vindman. So you talked to some Georgians about how they feel about that movement within the party.

DONNA WATTS-NUN, GEORGIA VOTER: “Socialists,” you know, the word is like a dirty — it’s like a bad word.

MARA GAY, NEW YORK TIMES: To a lot of people, yeah.

WATTS-NUN: To a lot of people. But, yeah, they have some good points. I mean, there are some things that really take care of, you know, some countries that really do have the socialist perspective. They really took care of their citizens.

GAY: So the words “Democratic Socialism,” the phrase doesn’t scare you.

WATTS-NUN: Doesn’t scare me.

GAY: What are some of the ideas that you hear from folks like AOC, for example, or Bernie that you — that you like?

WATTS-NUN: That I like — that we needed this health care piece.

GAY: Medicare for all.

WATTS-NUN: Medicare for — yes, for all. You know, if you’re a citizen, you’re born and raised, you should at least be able to go and say, “I can get my teeth pulled.”

JONATHAN LEMIRE: So, Mara, obviously, we have seen every race is different, every candidate is different, every district is different, whether or not sort of, quote, “socialist” ideas play or not. But here, whether the label is socialism or not, are you seeing an energy there about some of these more sort of progressive concepts, or just sort of like, “Hey, they’re a means to an end. We just need to shake things up.”

Zohran Mamdani’s plan to build city-owned grocery stores in New York has now launched a lawsuit.

Immigrant owned grocery stores are banding together to fight Mamdani’s plan because they know that the city owned stores will have an advantage that they can’t compete with.

If the city owned stores can sell the same products at a much cheaper price with no worries about paying taxes, the privately owned stores will eventually go out of business.

New York Post reports:

Immigrant grocers sue Mamdani over government-owned supermarkets, liken plan to Walmart coming to NYC

Immigrant grocers and bodegas sued Mayor Zohran Mamdani over his plan to open five government-owned supermarkets — likening his plans to the devastating competitive threat that would be posed by Walmart coming to New York City.

The Multicultural Business Coalition, which is comprised of 50 chambers of commerce representing ethnically diverse businesses, filed two lawsuits in New York state court on Monday — one of them a seven-page class-action on behalf of “hundreds” of store owners who are “members of groups historically discriminated against.”

The class-action alleges that the business owners’ civil rights will be violated if the municipal stores are allowed to open, according to court papers.

The second suit — a 13-page filing in New York state Supreme Court — claims that the government-owned stores would present problems similar to those posed by Walmart, which has attempted several times to enter the Big Apple without success.

For years, the Arkansas-based discounter has faced fierce opposition from New York politicians, with legislators and labor unions claiming small businesses would be decimated by the retail giant.

The municipal grocery stores “have pledged to sell food items 30% below the market-rate, a rate that rivals or exceeds Walmart discounts,” according to the second filing.

Here’ a video report from the FOX Business Network:

BREAKING: Immigrant-owned grocers are suing NYC Mayor Mamdani over his government-run grocery stores.

All of this is happening just so that Mamdani can deliver on a stupid promise that he made to supporters during the mayoral campaign.

He could have just made it more attractive for supermarket companies to open more stores in the city but instead, he is doing this.
