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.

Listen To What Your Candidates Are Saying

On Monday, Scott Johnson at Power Line Blog posted an article about a recent statement by Michigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed.

The article reports:

The story of the day is uncomfortably close to a literal “bomshell.” Alana Goodman has obtained a copy of what I call the Sad in Dearborn tapes. They derive from Michigan’s radical left-wing Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed. Alana’s story is “‘There Are a Lot of People in Dearborn Who Are Sad’: Democratic Senate Hopeful Abdul El-Sayed Said He Needed To Stay Silent on Khamenei Killing Because Many of Michigan’s Muslim Voters ‘Are Sad.’”

Alana reports:

Michigan’s left-wing Democratic Senate candidate, Abdul El-Sayed, told staffers he wanted to avoid making a public statement about the assassination of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei—or taking any public position on it at all—because “there are a lot of people in Dearborn who are sad” about his death, according to audio from a private campaign strategy call obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

But, ah, the uses of Jeffrey Epstein:

If reporters pressed him to take a position, he said, he would change the subject to Donald Trump’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. “I’m just gonna go straight to pedophilia, frankly,” El-Sayed said. “I’ll just be like, ‘Pedophile president decides that he doesn’t like the front page news, so he decides to take us into another war.’”

The article also notes that the El-Sayed campaign is trying to keep the recording suppressed.

The article concludes:

Here in one story we see the trouble with immigration that has transformed Dearborn into what it is today. We see the deep trouble with the Democratic Party today. We also see the Democrats’ use of Jeffrey Epstein for pretextual purposes. Cry Jeffrey Epstein!

Note the real purpose of mentioning Jeffrey Epstein.

Quotable quote: “‘I also want to remind you guys that there are a lot of people in Dearborn who are sad today. So, like, I just don’t want to comment on Khamenei at all. Like, I don’t think it’s worth even touching that,’ El-Sayed told his campaign team.”

Because assimilation is no longer a part of immigration, Dearborn would have no problem electing a candidate that supported Khamenei. It’s time to send people who choose not to assimilate to a country where they are more compatible with the local culture.
