New in PJ Media:
Hakeem Jeffries is shocked! — shocked! — that it has come to this. After the fanatical leftist Elias Rodriguez murdered two Israeli Embassy staffers outside the Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. and then screamed “Free Palestine,” Jeffries issued a statement saying all the expected things about how much he deplored this wanton act of violence. But really, in light of his other statements, can this be taken seriously? And Jeffries isn’t the only one who looks hypocritical in the wake of this latest outbreak of leftist bloodlust.
Jeffries (D-Orange Man Bad) released a statement Thursday that was packed with everything the staffer who wrote it knew was supposed to be said on such occasions:
I am horrified by the deadly act of antisemitic violence at an event at the Capital Jewish Museum. As we await additional details, it is clear that too many of our Jewish brothers and sisters legitimately fear for their safety in this country simply as a result of their faith. Antisemitism has no place in our nation, and its rise must be urgently crushed by people of goodwill across America and throughout the world. We strongly support the loved ones of the Israeli embassy staff murdered, and our prayers are with the victims and all those affected by this tragic attack. America will stand firmly with the Jewish community during this great hour of need.
Hey, really, Hakeem, that’s swell. But it does raise some questions. After all, back on April 8, 2024, Jeffries was among the multitudes who were (as many still are) taking Hamas’ casualty figures and claims of Israeli atrocities at face value. His statement on that day was an appalling exercise in equivocation: “Hamas must be decisively defeated so that the atrocities that occurred on October 7 never happen again and the hostages are safely returned home. At the same time, it is critically important that Israel prosecute the war against Hamas with surgical precision in a manner that substantially mitigates the possibility that innocent Palestinian civilians and humanitarian relief workers are killed or harmed in any way. The death of thousands of Palestinian women, children and civilians over the last six months is heartbreaking and deeply disturbing. The IDF must conduct itself at all times in strict adherence to the international rules of war.” That neatly left the impression that it wasn’t already doing so.
Jeffries also notoriously said this not too long ago regarding the “extreme MAGA Republican agenda”: “We are going to fight it legislatively. We are going to fight it in the courts. We’re going to fight it in the streets.” Would he want his minions to fight in the streets against Israel’s alleged violations of the international rules of war? It certainly wouldn’t have been difficult for any of his admirers to get that idea.
There is more. Read the rest here.

The goons say all those things they don’t really mean about innocent people being murdered….and they say all those things about the violence they do want and of which they approve, but when those who are different say things like “fight” they get all hot with anger and say it’s a call for violence.
Two-faced goons.
And, what is more, every person is *affected* one way or another by the murders of the two young people in D.C. If I was directly affected, if it had been my family member, a friend, a loved-one, I’d tell jefferies and the others to **keep your prayers.***
Their god is not my God, and I wouldn’t want anything to do with what their god is doing.

This man, Jeffries is nothing but a twisted, two-bit bribe-taking pervert. A criminal. INVESTIGATE his links and connections! And if you who are in charge now do not, you are part of it, no more excuses and no where left to run and hide, for by this shall we know you too are just part of the world wide cabal of criminalities. Put up! Or shut up! And just take your bribes till Christ returns! And Jesus IS RETURNING! God will deal very harshly with Elite Globalist, Marxist, AND Islam! Hell will be their eternal fiefdoms of torments- this nightmare taunts them too! Heaven is true and hell will be real, for Jesus Christ is God returning to reign!
