In Their Own Words

It’s still July, and the mid-term elections are already heating up. This mid-term will determine the direction of the country for the next six years. Do you want to spend the next two years watching President Trump be impeached? That’s what a Democrat Congress will spend their time on. Or do you want to spend the next two years watching policies originate in Washington that make it easier to start a small business and will eventually bring inflation under control? That’s what a Republican Congress will bring you. That is the bottom line on the mid-terms. The mid-terms will determine who becomes President in 2028.

On Tuesday, The Independent Sentinel posted an article about three of the candidates running for office in November. The article simply quotes their own statements. You can draw your own conclusions.

The first–Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed.

The article reports:

Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed wants to eliminate fossil fuels and take away jobs from hardworking Michiganders: “We continue to rely on fossil fuels for our energy, we need to get to 100% renewable energy…”

…”I’m looking forward to the conversation about how we…pass Medicare for All.”

Next–James Talarico.

The article reports:

James Talarico — who said he “hates Christianity” — praised Islam for inspiring his religious beliefs: “I’ve learned as much about my faith from Salman’s tradition, from the Islamic mystics, from poets like Rumi, as much as I have from Christian authors…”

…James Talarico: “Prison is violence.” “It’s hard to imagine a world without prisons. Just because it’s hard to imagine, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t.” How very DSA of him.

Finally–NJ House candidate Adam Hamawy.

The article notes:

Adam Hamawy has stated, “Healthcare is not a free-market issue, it is a core responsibility of government.”

How does that align with the Tenth Amendment and the Oath of Office he would have to take swearing to uphold the U.S. Constitution?

One other note about Adam Hamawy (source here):

Adam Hamawy, a Princeton plastic surgeon, is a frontrunner in a crowded Democratic primary to replace retiring Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D.) in New Jersey’s deep-blue 12th Congressional District—despite his years-long friendship with Omar Abdel-Rahman, the Muslim extremist cleric who was sentenced to life in prison for his role in the 1993 bombing.

These are three of the people the Democrats are putting up for election. There is a good chance that at least two will be elected.

It Really Is Up To The Voters

On Monday, The Washington Free Beacon posted an article about Adam Hamawy, who is running for Congress from New Jersey. Dr. Hamawy is the son of Egyptian migrants.

The article notes:

Victims and survivors of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing reacted with shock and horror at the possibility—if not likelihood—that a close associate of the “Blind Sheikh” terrorist mastermind who inspired the attack may soon be a member of Congress.

Adam Hamawy, a Princeton plastic surgeon, is a frontrunner in a crowded Democratic primary to replace retiring Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D.) in New Jersey’s deep-blue 12th Congressional District—despite his years-long friendship with Omar Abdel-Rahman, the Muslim extremist cleric who was sentenced to life in prison for his role in the 1993 bombing.

In 1995 one of the charges against Omar Abdel-Rahman was conspiring to assassinate Egyptian President Hasni Mubarak. He was also charged with solicitation to attack a U.S. military installation, and conspiracy to conduct bombings. Dr. Hamawy testified as a defense witness in that trial.

The article notes:

Hamawy’s Democratic opponents in the race have so far treated the scandal gingerly—though there are signs that is beginning to change as the race heads into the final two weeks before the primary, which will almost certainly crown the winner of the general election.

“You are known by the company you keep. In the mid 1990s when Adam Hamawy indicated he was an interpreter for [the Blind Sheikh], who was convicted of acts against this country, he sat in a ride and developed amnesia about what transpired on that very long road trip,” Plainfield, N.J., mayor Adrian Mapp (D.) told InsiderNJ Thursday.

“You can’t describe Adam Hamawy as a progressive,” Mapp went on. “He is what you would call a radical extremist. Individuals associating with clearly anti-American views like the convicted Sheikh call into question people like Dr. Hamawy.”

Reps for Hamawy did not respond to requests for comment from the Free Beacon.

Dr. Hamawy is endorsed by Bernie Sanders, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and Ro Khanna.
