‘The Man Is Brilliant’: Mandela Barnes Praised Rev. Jeremiah Wright After Speech Accusing Israel of ‘Ethnic Cleansing’

Screen-Shot-2022-10-07-at-10.19.01-AM-736x538.png


Mandela Barnes, the Wisconsin Democratic Senate candidate, praised anti-Semitic pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright as "brilliant" after attending a speech in which the controversial preacher accused Israel of "ethnic cleansing" and the United States of committing "war crimes."

Barnes posted an Instagram photo of himself shaking hands with Wright at a small group dinner in Milwaukee in 2013. "What's for certain is that the man is brilliant. It was amazing to hear Dr. Jeremiah Wright speak this evening," Barnes, who was then serving as a state representative, wrote in the caption.

Barnes's comments could add to perceptions that the lieutenant governor holds radical views that are out of step with state voters. Barnes's applause for Wright came years after Wright's former congregant, Barack Obama, famously cut ties with Wright in 2008 due to the preacher's inflammatory anti-American remarks. Wright went on a public rant blaming "them Jews" for his fallout with Obama. Wright previously compared the United States to al Qaeda and claimed that the U.S. government invented HIV to kill black people.

Democrats constantly running Abortion Ads in Swing States won't work while the Republicans pummel candidates on crime and the cost of living, Clinton advisor James Carville says

  • 'You've got to be more aggressive than just yelling abortion every other word'
Democratic strategist and Clinton advisor James Carville is warning his party against laser-focus on abortion in the run-up to the November midterm elections.

'A lot of these consultants think if all we do is run abortion spots that will win for us. I don't think so,' the famed strategist told the Associated Press. 'It's a good issue. But if you just sit there and they're pummeling you on crime and pummeling you on the cost of living, you've got to be more aggressive than just yelling abortion every other word.'

Democratic candidates, the party's campaign arm the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) and affiliated super PACS have spent over $18 million airing more than 100 abortion-focus broadcast TC ads in four dozen battleground regions, according to data from media tracking firm AdImpact obtained by Politico.

Anybody catch the Ryan-Vance debate earlier tonight? I only caught the last half or so of it, but it was pretty feisty.

Jen Psaki Admits Mandela Barnes Is Disconnected From Wisconsin Voters

Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki appeared on NBC’s “Meet The Press,” and one of the topics discussed was the midterm election. When talking about Friday’s Wisconsin Senate debate between Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) and Democrat challenger Mandela Barnes, Psaki said:


“When [Mandela Barnes] talked about the insurrection, I think that was a little disconnected from what people in Wisconsin are feeling. I mean, crime is up in Milwaukee.”​

The democrats are leaving Wisconsin as we expected. The 1980's moving van is misfiring on the way out.

SEE IT: Fetterman Uses Computer To Understand Reporter's Questions

NBC News agreed to allow the use of a computer monitor for Pennsylvania Senate hopeful Lt. Gov. John Fetterman to read the questions he was asked because of difficulties with his health.

Fetterman spoke with correspondent Dasha Burns in what was billed as the Democrat's first TV interview since he had a stroke in May. In a preview of their interview, which will air Tuesday evening, Burns said the interview was "very different" than when they last spoke before his stroke months ago. A clip from that exchange shows Fetterman reading the transcription of the reporter's questions on an Apple computer at his home, and there is a chyron informing viewers that the interview was performed using closed captioning.

"He is still suffering from auditory processing issues, which means he has a hard time understanding what he’s hearing, so NBC News agreed to closed captioning during this interview," Burns told anchor Katy Tur on MSNBC.

Watchdog Calls for IRS Audit of Warnock Church

Ebenezer Baptist Church secretly owns an apartment building that is serving poor residents with eviction notices

2022-king-holiday-observance-beloved-community-commemorative-service-736x491.jpg


Sen. Raphael Warnock's (D., Ga.) church should face an IRS audit for concealing its ownership of a low-income apartment building that tried to evict disadvantaged residents, a watchdog group charged in a complaint filed Wednesday.

The complaint follows a Washington Free Beacon report that Ebenezer Baptist Church, where Warnock serves as a senior pastor, owns 99 percent of the Columbia Tower at MLK Village in downtown Atlanta. The church's charity, Ebenezer Building Foundation, did not disclose on its Form 990 tax returns that it owns the building through a network of shell organizations. Experts say the omission violates IRS reporting rules.

Lordy, Johnson is a total POS a-hole. A total softball AFTER his opponent had said nice things about him, and he completely flubs it.
