My latest in PJ Media:
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-East Berlin) made a startling claim during the Democrats’ January 6 cringefest Thursday: those terrifying insurrectionists targeted him with possibly murderous intent, crying out, “There’s the big Jew. Let’s get him.” You see now? You see how evil and anti-Semitic those Trump supporters are?
Schumer said: “A police officer in a big flak jacket and large rifle grabbed me firmly by the collar, like this. I’ll never forget that grip. He said to me, ‘Senator, we got to get out of here. You’re in danger.’ We walked out the Senate chamber door, made a right turn, went through another door.” But he still wasn’t out of danger: “I was within 30 feet of these nasty, racist, bigoted insurrectionists. Had someone had a gun, had two of them blocked off the door, who knows what would have happened? I was told later that one of them reportedly said, ‘There’s the big Jew. Let’s get him.’ Bigotry against one is bigotry against all. And I saw something that I had been told later never happened before — the Confederate flag flying in this dear Capitol. That’s just one of many searing, grotesque images of that unimaginable, most un-American day.”
Harrowing indeed, but it’s noteworthy that the first mention of this tale didn’t come until over two months after the alleged insurrection. On March 9, 2021, the New York Times asserted that “as rioters prowled the halls hunting for top lawmakers — Mr. Schumer, Democrat of New York, later heard that one had been looking for his desk, saying, ‘Where’s the big Jew?’ — he was being evacuated with other leaders to a safe room at an undisclosed location.”
Who told Schumer this story? Is there any source for it other than Schumer himself? Why did it not come to light until over eight weeks after it happened? That is not proof positive that it didn’t happen, but it is yet another instance in which it’s a shame that we have so few real journalists today. A journalist worthy of the name would notice that the story fits neatly into the larger efforts of Schumer and the entire Democrat establishment to portray supporters of the former president as an unsavory gang of white supremacists, racists, anti-Semites, and enemies of all that it’s good.
Here again, that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen, but the story could bear a bit of investigating to see if it really happened or if it’s just Schumer reinforcing his vicious caricature of Trump and his supporters. In reality, the claim that Trump and/or those who voted for him are anti-Semitic is one of the Left’s most absurd charges in a veritable sea of absurdity. Donald Trump was the most pro-Israel American president since the founding of the modern state of Israel. He made good on a promise that his three immediate predecessors had made and broken, moving the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. He recognized Israel’s annexation of the Golan Heights, which is essential for its security. He cut aid to the Palestinian Authority, becoming the first and only president to hold the Palestinians accountable for their genocidal intransigence. And he oversaw the conclusion of the Abraham Accords, remarkable and unprecedented agreements between Israel and several previously hostile Muslim Arab states.
There is more. Read the rest here.

2022 is a terribly important electoral year during which the American people have a chance to protect themselves by achieving an exact match of the parties in the Senate.

not so Clive…we can also vote and donate, as well as pray.

By 2024 the Democrats will have implemented “vote by phone.”

I’m a Jew. Cheesy Chuck (You) Schumer would play the part of George Soros in a series about WWII. He would LOVE to collect the property of Jews prior to their being exterminated. He’s a piece of filth. In WNY where I hail, we refer to Cheesy as “kapo Chuck”.
Linde Barrera says
To notnolib- Like you, I live in NY.
Like you, I have become very leery of Charles Schumer. He is a bitter disappointment to me because he seems to embrace socialism and not care about free enterprise. A candidate called Diane Sare is running against Schumer. I am not getting any $ or personal benefits from the Diane Sare campaign or any other candidate. But we must vote Schumer out of office when his term expires. In my opinion, he will be the death of the great state of NY if he gets re-elected.
BexarKat says
This big-mouthed prick is a primary reason anti-Semitism exists. His machinations include faux allegations of a man who is and while in office was, Israel’s greatest supporter of all those whoever occupied the White House. Typically he condemns falsities of anti-Semitic acts while supporting (and thereby encouraging more) anti-Semitism in the Congress. He is a cheap fraud.
WPM says
“I was told later one of them said” who told you what was said and when? “Had someone had a gun” what if they did not have a gun what if they had a nuclear device or knife ? or a nerfgun a lot of what if speculation when you are guarded by men with guns being lead to safety. Maybe when President Trump who want the national guard there before the rally started his idea was shot down by the democratic mayor of Washington DC and the democratic majority speaker of the house maybe you you take up your issues for your safety with them. With all of the evidence recorded on surveillance cameras and personal cell phones why was this not captured on anyone,s cell phone or cameras? No men with big guns who protected Schumer willing to come forward as witnesses months or even a year after the Jan.6 “attack”?
somehistory says
“I was told later one of them said” This statement would not be allowed in a Court of law. It is total hearsay at the very least, and probably just a big fat lie from the arrogant fool.

Balderdash ! Schumer is obviously lying in the claim he made. Many people of the left will with unconscionable liars. In this specific case it was an attempt the smear slander the Pro-Trump Patriots with the stain antisemitism which is an absurd charge to make.
The reason why this is so is President Trump which he in in Office was a good friend and supporter to and of the Jewish Stare of Israel.
It’s the current “president ” pretender Biden who is dislikes Israel . So much so that he’s a friend and supporter of Jewish hating the head of the PA, Mahmoud Abbas. Likewise , its Biden helps fund Hamas in any way he is able to . Joe Biden is the US “”president” who strives the tyrants to give that vicious hostile anti- Israel Islamic regime of Iran everything they want.
Furthermore, Abbas , and the Muslims who make up the PA and Hamas and the those in power in that Islamic regime of Iran are the ones who have the Qu ‘ran based view of Jews as “swine and pigs in human form.”
In addition , if and that really is “If” someone in the Pro-Trump Patriot rally did actually yell out those terrible words that Schumer claimed that he heard , it would have then come from one of those Antifa operatives who had been bused into Washington DC who had infiltrated into that Patriot rally masquerading as a “pro-Trump Patriot ” in an attempt the make the real Donald Trump supporters look bad.
If so that’s an old tactic which is called “the false flag ploy”
Despicable yet nevertheless that’s keeping within the low character of Anfifa.
Walter Sieruk says
The actual , real , ant-Semites are those Communists with their stealth jihadist, Muslims comrades in in their insidious ways has infiltrated the American government. This is called the Red/Green alliance”
One of the many horrible fruits of this was those awful terrible incidents which occurred on January 6th 2021 in Washington DC. Which was a leftists set up . Those pro-Trump patriots had been waved into that federal building by smiling politically correct appointed Capital police. Once inside that building the PC appointed police turned violently on them and even murdered one of them , who was totally non–violent. Likewise those Capital “police”even viciously turned violent on the peaceful patriots outside that building . The PC capital “COP’s” even murdered one young women in a nearby tunnel and they severely beat another young peaceful patriot woman , she even held her heads in surrender yet those so -called”police.,” left wingers just continued to beat her savagely without mercy.
This is outrageous, wrong evil and most heinous, PC Capital “police” are a complete disgrace to all genuine decent police officers.
Furthermore the unconscionable behavior of those leftist thugs in police uniforms , Capital police, in Washington DC are much more similar to the Communist State police of North Korea in how they treat people by ignoring their basic human rights than real American police officers

Ah, poor liar. He’s the fool who threatened the Justices of the Supreme Court and now is lying about his own life being threatened. Who will believe him?
It has already been disclosed that government agencies…those lettered people…were working undercover to cause problems and blame it on the average persons in D.C. who were there just to show support for one that had a different voice.
Now, here we have a Jew who doesn’t usually show concern for other people, pretending that Jew-hatred only comes from those who oppose him, and ;pelosi, biden, etc.
He’s more likely to be in danger from the mozlums who “work”/lounge, lie, lurk, in the same building, getting paid to rep for other mozlums and promote islam, than he is from the average American. He should be paying attention to the staffers for aoc, i elmi alias omar, tlaib, etc. who make their bias known every day.

I’m sure once this useful idiot stops being useful to their radical agenda they will devour him just as they will their other current comrades.
somehistory says
He is against freedom of speech unless he’s the one speaking.
I believe it was early last year…time passes so fast, it’s easy to lose track….he was on the street, speaking to a bunch of *reporters* and a homeless woman confronted him. Instead of speaking to her, or listening to her, he had his security detail force her to move along and leave him alone. that was in violation of the Constitution which he took an oath to uphold.

There are lies, damned lies, and then statements by Chuck Schumer.
Walter Sieruk says
In reality real anti-Semitics are the leftists, in their Red/ Green alliance, who are not only un-American in ideas but vicious cruel brutal and malicious as seen by how they terribly treat the pro- Trump patriots in federal prison denying them the basic US Constitutional l and human rights. They are political prisoners.
As revealed In THE EPOCH TIMES 1/5/22 A1,3. “In a series of allegations that Jan. 6 defendants have been beaten, tortured, and denied food and proper medical care while in federal custody …”
That there are “many instances of physical and psychological abuse, 24- hour solitary confinement , denial of access to legal counsel , destruction of records , and general abuse of rights for prisoners…”
Of those many terrible things, just the one alone about the “destruction of records” shows that there are many illegal, unethical and likewise criminal activities by those in power of else there would be no need to destroy recorded information.
This nation that is called the United States of America is far what this country used to be when the government was “of the people, for the people.” Under that treacherous Joe Biden and those in high power how uphold him in the Office of the Presidency and use him as their stooge for their wicked goals the US is gradually becomes a tyranny , as seen by how those Patriots are so terribly abused.
The horrendous ways the patriots are treated in federal prison is, in many ways, similar to the treatment of the political prisoners held in Communist China and North Korea.
libertyORdeath says
This is a pretty obvious attempt to conflate patriotic Americans with antisemites like Ilhan Omar or Rashida Talib, or more accurately Jeremy Corbin.
The leftists in congress are fully aware that it was rampant antisemitism that brought down their beloved comrades in the British Labour party. As usual, they project their bigotry on their political enemies.
libertyORdeath says
I really think that this issue may be our best weapon against his Fraudulency and the rest of his party. A good case could be made for impeachment or a federation of states based on many issues –
Opening the Souther border to illegal immigrants
Their completely inept and deadly surrender in Afghanistan
Their use of the DOJ as a political weapon
Hunter Biden/Foreign corruption
Etc. Etc.
But the best case seems like old Joe’s support for terrorists. He has been eager to give as much $$$ to the “Palestinian” terrorists as possible, despite the fact that they know the $ will be used to pay terrorists and their families, train new terrorists, launch new terrorist attacks on the people of Israel, and buy rockets to fire at a country that we claim is our closest friend in the region.
As mentioned above, this conduct is a clear violation of U.S. law, including the Talor Force act which SPECIFICALLY makes contributions to a terrorist regime a crime. I sincerely hope that the Republican lead congress in 2023 will do it’s job without fear and prosecute Biden, along with at least a few other leftists like Pelosi (insuder trading), Ilhan Omar (immigration fraud, supporting a terrorist organization) and Rahida Talib (giving aid and comfort to a terrorist organization).

Chuck it with the trash. It seems we have a sanitation problem in Washington D.C. I noticed that where ever you have a garbage heap it draws the vultures, and I’ll be darned if Washington isn’t overrun with money grubbing VULTURES.
