Just in case you weren’t sure what was coming next, here is a salutary reminder.
“Anti-Israel activists deface WWI and Civil War memorials, burn US flag,” by Michael Starr, Jerusalem Post, May 8, 2024:
Anti-Israel activists vandalized American memorials to veterans of the First World War and a Union Civil War general and burned an American flag during the New York City Day of Rage protest that coincided with Holocaust Remembrance Day on Monday.
The One Hundred Seventh Infantry Memorial in Central Park, dedicated to US infantry who fell in battle during the war, was desecrated with stickers and graffiti that proclaimed “free Gaza” or “free Palestine,” according to photographs published by NYPD Deputy Commissioner Operations Kaz Daughtry.
The statue was also tagged with a red triangle, a symbol used in Hamas propaganda to denote a target. A protester set the United States flag on fire at the base of the statue, according to the New York Post.
The Grand Army Plaza Sherman Memorial honoring Union General William Tecumseh Sherman was also vandalized with similar graffiti as the infantry memorial, one “free Gaza” scrawl including the Anarchist “A” in the spelling of the Palestinian territory.
“F**K Empire,” read the graffiti. “NYPD equals KKK (Ku Klux Klan).”
Mayor Eric Adams gave a press conference in front of the Central Park memorial on Tuesday, in which he severely reprimanded the “cowards” who vandalized the statue.
“I want to be extremely clear, despite the unpopular notion that people don’t want to say, I want to say it: I love America,” said Adams. “And I’m proud to be a citizen of America. And the reason that we are here is because of men and women like this statue behind us, and we cannot remain silent when our symbols of freedom are desecrated by people who hate our country and hate our way of life.”…

Here’s the worst of it: Many in the Democratic Party of the USA are perfectly fine with this.
My God, what will it take for the realization that remaining a Democrat is remaining a traitor to America? Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democratic Congresswoman from Hawaii, reveals this quite clearly with the title of her book just released this year, “For Love of Country: Leave the Democratic Party Behind.”
No way one can still claim to be a patriot and a Democrat. They have become (didn’t used to be) mutually exclusive.

Wellington my friend, please say Democrat party instead of Democratic party-nothing democratic about them
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Fully agree. Actually, the term “Democrat” today means commie, just like during the Cold War, East Germany, North Korea, South Yemen were all known as German Democratic Republic, People’s Democratic Republic of Korea and People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen
Not to mention that a democracy is 3 wolves and a sheep voting over what’s for lunch
Ray Jarman says
You are correct and it absolutely is an oxymoron for there is no freedom the concepts that you mentioned.
Ian Senior says
I’m from Yorkshire UK and perhaps its best I have no authority or control If I did I’d remove those ethnics who dislike America, Britain and Western Civilisation and plant them in Gaza or a nice Muslim Country Following close behind would be a collection of mosques boxed up and shipped out to be rebuilt in Islamic countries where they belong along with their followers.
Grannya says
You are welcome to do it anyway! But I would start in the UK. Both countries need Leaders to stand up for their citizens.

And the so-called “progressive dems” and the squatter’s “squad’ are, as the report said, “taking a victory lap” due to biden freezing military supplies to Israel, with members of the enemies in the House, giving the credit for that to the “campus protestors” and telling them to keep going with the protests.
They have told the “student protestors”….at least half of them in one State are not students…that ‘it’s working’ and to keep it going.
Tony Rice says
Round them up and ship back to their home country, are a danger to host countries.

Computer issues as I attempted to post the exact words of one…the snake…and the link to the story.
“”This is what young people across the country were protesting for and finally the needle has moved in a significant way. I hope we see more progress, but don’t ever let people tell you that your voices are meaningless and your actions are worthless. The arc of what is possible is always within us to bend,” Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., wrote on X, formerly Twitter, along with a portion of Biden’s CNN interview warning Israel not to invade Rafah.”
And another snake…
“Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., said on X, “We have to keep standing for what is right. Organizing is working. Protesting is working.”
We can expect to see more vandalism, flag and other burnings, and possibly worse. If anyone dies due to this kind of thing, egged on by elmi and bowman, they should be brought up on charges.

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and “Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y.:
Both “proud” members of the House “Terror Caucus”.
Actual enemies of the state.
somehistory says
Yes, James, they are enemies inside the People’s House.
And the hiss is constant. The country needs a Rikki Tikki Tavi. Or two.

So what is the fine American city New York or the Patriotic citizens going to do about it make empty tough talk meaningless speech’s
The patriotic citizens demand something be done and go back to sports on t v
rather than get involved
As an ex cop back in the 60s and 70s
people who complain the most about the problems in their neighborhood never wanted to get involved so they just fussed
Still that way

So the Arab and Islamic empires are bad?

That’s different! Until white Christian males revert (their word, not mind) to the RoP the left will never see the evil in it!

muslims think allah{of the kaaba cult} and islam will take over the world.
But allah is NOT the Biblical God
Authentic Christianity is due back Matthew24 v 30{False versions of Christianity will disappear}
Jerusalem stands Zechariah 14
All evil Globalist elites are doomed{Book of Daniel 7 v 23-27
hamas are a terror cult.
The Biblical God is also…the God of Israel{“MY LAND”} Jeremiah 2:7
There are promises about Jerusalem Zechariah 12 v 9

“Opinion | Hamas Goes to the United Nations”
“Memo to those seeking the privileges of statehood at the United Nations: Start with a massacre of civilians, help to mobilize American college protests, and finish with an end run around the U.N. Security Council. That’s the strategy now playing out as Palestinians seek a U.N. General Assembly vote Friday to elevate their status.”

They didn’t manage to replace Old Glory w/ that Jordan-minus-the-star lookalike flag?
OLD GUY says
Peaceful protest is awesome and legal, but it won’t get the media attention. Our justice system is overwhelmed with criminal cases already.
Our jails and prisons are full so what will our Political leaders do?
1. Defund the POLICE.
2. Open the border to millions of more people.
3. Ignore minor offenses of the laws.
4. No bail release of offenders.
5. Early release of violent offenders.
6. Our society teaches and promotes the ME ideology with NO respect for others people or their property.
Rough Road Ahead. Anybody see any new Federal or State Prisons being built?
James Lincoln says
OLD GUY,
To your point, the United States needs more prisons – and mental institutions.
And “tough on crime” DAs.
