The Democrat rat Party of anti Semites and Black supremacists
Biden DOJ Nominee Conceals Ties To Anti-Semitic Professor
Kristen Clarke edited a journal alongside poet who blamed Jews for 9/11
Archived copies of a scholarly journal show Justice Department nominee Kristen Clarke listed on the masthead alongside an anti-Semitic writer with whom she claimed under oath she has never collaborated.
The revelation could prompt charges that she gave inaccurate answers to the Senate Judiciary Committee. Clarke told lawmakers that she has never worked with Amiri Baraka, the Marxist and anti-Semitic black nationalist who accused Israel of having advanced knowledge of 9/11 in a 2002 poem. Both Clarke and Baraka are listed as editors of the journal Souls at least eight times over two years.
While Clarke's denial may not technically amount to perjury, less-than-candid responses have proved fatal for other nominees of both parties. Ryan Bounds, a Trump judicial nominee, withdrew from consideration for a vacancy on the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals after Democrats charged that he tried to conceal bombastic writings from his college years. Goodwin Liu, an Obama nominee for the same court, withdrew after he failed to disclose dozens of speeches and articles.
In a written supplement to Clarke's April 14 confirmation hearing, Sen. Mike Lee (R., Utah) asked Clarke a series of questions about Baraka and an article he wrote comparing police officers and judges to the Ku Klux Klan. The article is called "Mumia, Lynch Law, and Imperialism." "Mumia" refers to Mumia Abu-Jamal, who is serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole for murdering a police officer in 1981.
Lee asked Clarke whether she served "on the editorial staff of a journal with Amiri Baraka." She answered "no."
The Washington Free Beacon reviewed eight editions of the journal in question, Souls, A Critical Journal of Black Politics, Culture, and Society, on Taylor & Francis, the international publisher of scholarly journals. The editions were published quarterly in 1999 and 2000. In each edition, Clarke is listed on the masthead as an assistant editor while Baraka is listed as a contributing editor.
Baraka is 1 of about 20 contributing editors listed on the masthead. A contributing editorship is sometimes an honorary title that does not indicate substantive involvement in an editorial process.
Baraka, who died in 2014, was a black nationalist poet, playwright, and teacher who wrote on cultural and political topics. His style is intentionally provocative and confrontational. In his 1965 poem "Black Art," he wrote that ideal poems are "Assassin poems … that wrestle cops into alleys / And take their weapons leaving them dead / With tongues pulled out and sent to Ireland." His legacy is controversial among black scholars.
Much of his work is shot through with anti-Semitism. "Black Art" calls for "dagger poems in the slimy bellies / Of the owner-jews."
Although Baraka acknowledged and rebuked the anti-Semitism of his early publications in a 1980 Village Voice piece titled "Confessions of a Former Anti-Semite," Jew-baiting continued to appear in his later works. His most notorious poem accused Israel of having advanced knowledge of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
"Who knew the World Trade Center was gonna get bombed / Who told 4000 Israeli workers at the Twin Towers / To stay home that day / Why did Sharon stay away? / Who? Who? Who?" Baraka wrote in the 2002 poem "Who Blew Up America?"
In a 2004 NPR interview, Baraka said he did not regret writing the poem. In the same interview, Baraka called then-Newark mayor Cory Booker "backward" and lamented that "merely getting rid of the white folks in Newark" was not sufficient to achieve the goals of black nationalists.
Clarke is facing criticism for other potential misrepresentations to the committee. As a Harvard student, Clarke wrote a letter to the editor promoting the pseudo-scientific "melanin theory" of black racial superiority. Asked about the piece during the April hearing, Clarke said it was satirical and that contemporaneous reporting from the campus newspaper proved as much.
Reporting in the campus paper, the Harvard Crimson, indicates no such thing, however. The Crimson editors called on Clarke to retract her claims in an editorial entitled "Clarke Should Retract Statements." The editorial argues that there's little evidence of irony in the letter and that Clarke's subsequent statements about the piece hardly amount to a disavowal of its contents.
The White House did not respond to a request for comment about Clarke and Baraka.
Fostering abuse: It's for the money
Newark woman arrested after foster child found chained to a fan
A New Jersey woman was arrested Wednesday after police found her 12-year-old foster child chained to a fan inside her home, authorities said.
The boy was found in a bedroom at his foster home in Newark by police conducting a wellness check at about 10:10 a.m., according to authorities.
He was tethered to a fan by chains and padlocks, Newark Department of Public Safety said in a Thursday press release.
The foster mother, 66-year-old Wanser Brown, is facing two counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
The boy was placed in the custody of the New Jersey Department of Child Protection and Permanency.

Sanaa Amenhotep was found dead after a three-week search.Sharif Malik Amenhotep Facebook
The kidnapped 15-year-old daughter of a Newark, New Jersey, anti-violence activist has been found dead in South Carolina, according to her family and the local sheriff.
Sanaa Amenhotep — the daughter of Brick City Peace Collective member Sharif Malik Amenhotep — was found Thursday after a three-week search, officials announced.
“My first heir Sanaa Mahari Amenhotep I can’t believe she gone from us,” her father wrote on Facebook alongside a series of family images.
“You shattered the hearts of my entire family the pain I will never be the same,” wrote Amenhotep
“I’m sorry Princess I didn’t protect u,” he also wrote. “I promise u will never ever leave my heart or mind … I would lay down my life for u … I love u so much,” he wrote.
Amenhotep — whose group aims to “reduce violence and strengthen relationships between law enforcement” in Newark — had traveled to South Carolina to help in the search and put up a $10,000 reward.
His teen daughter was last seen April 5 when she left her house in Columbia with another teen girl and two males, Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott said.
She is believed to have gone with them voluntarily but “once she was with them it then turned into a kidnapping,” Lott said.
Lott said deputies believe the girl left voluntarily with the group to begin with, “but at that point once she was with them it then turned into a kidnapping.”
The sheriff said the kidnapping and death was believed to be linked to gang activity, but did not elaborate.
A 17-year-old boy was arrested and faces charges of kidnapping, officials said. He is being held at the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center and it is not clear if he has an attorney who could speak on his behalf.
The sheriff’s office appealed for help in finding another suspect, 18-year-old Treveon Jamar Nelson, who is expected to face the same charges upon his arrest.
“I told the parents we would bring her home and we’ve done that,” the sheriff said. “Unfortunately, we didn’t bring her home the way that we all prayed and wished that we could.”
Newark Mayor Ras Baraka sent the grieving activist “sincere condolences” from “the people of Newark” over “the tragic loss of his beautiful and intelligent Black daughter, Sanaa Amenhotep, who was kidnapped and murdered in South Carolina.”
“No parent should ever have to bury their child. It is an inexplicable loss that defies imagination,” Baraka said.
“Our entire city is joining with the Amenhotep family in their grief and pain,” he said.
He praised the activist for “tirelessly” working to “increase justice and reduce violence in our neighborhoods … helping us to re-imagine public safety and prevent tragedies such as this from taking place in our very own community.”

Another BLM hero
Suspect fatally shot as he dragged Illinois cops at gas station, video shows
Cops in Illinois fatally shot a man who stole a car at a gas station and tried to drive away — slamming the vehicle into reverse and dragging officers with him, police bodycam video shows.
The footage, released Wednesday, shows DeShawn Tatum, 25, first running through an alley in Rock Island before stealing a bystander’s car at a Chicken Shack gas station and dragging two officers as he crashes into a building on April 1.
“Get out of the f–king car!” one officer yells just before Tatum slams into reverse. The cops then open fire as one officer opens the driver’s door as Tatum tries to drive off, according to the footage.
“Gun, gun!” one officer yells.
Tatum tries to grab one officer’s weapon as the car is in reverse and the weapon fires, shattering the passenger’s window and grazing another cop’s head, according to the Quad City Times.
Tatum, who had outstanding felony warrants, had been earlier spotted running through a nearby cemetery and ignored commands to stop and to “drop the gun” he had been carrying, the clip shows.
One officer also picked up a bag Tatum had dropped during the foot chase. The backpack had a Glock 9mm magazine, 9mm Luger cartridges, other ammo, suspected marijuana and unidentified pills, according to a report by State’s Attorney Dora Villarreal.
A loaded Glock 9mm with an extended magazine was recovered by cops that Tatum dropped during the foot chase prior to arriving at the gas station, Villarreal said.
Tatum later died at a hospital from gunshot wounds to the head and chest, the Quad City Times reported.
The four officers involved in the shooting, who were put on administrative leave following the incident, will not face criminal charges, Villarreal said.
“Mr. Tatum was in a vehicle, a weapon capable of causing great bodily harm or death,” she wrote. “The fact that he just dragged several officers to the ground while grabbing the gun of another suggested that he intended to use it in a deadly manner and that he may have been planning to use it.”
The race issue is merely cover for the left wing power grab.

Minnesota man fined $12 million for police station fire at George Floyd protest
Dylan Shakespeare Robinson was also sentenced to four years in prison
A Minnesota man has been fined $12 million for helping set fire to a police station during a protest last summer following the death of George Floyd.
Dylan Shakespeare Robinson, 23, pleaded guilty in December to one count of conspiracy to commit arson. He was accused of lighting a Molotov cocktail that another person threw at the Third Precinct headquarters in Minneapolis.
He now faces four years in prison and a whopping fine for the damages to the police station -- a penalty Robinson’s lawyer argues he will never be able to pay.
Would the Biden administration put its thumb on the Census scale?
GOP reps question Biden admin on alleged 'political interference' in census, citing departure from estimates
Republicans cite departures from census estimates in letter to Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo
More than a dozen House Republicans Friday are questioning Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo on whether there "was any political interference" in the final census numbers used to decide how many House members each state will get for the coming decade.
The letter, first obtained by Fox News, is led by Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., the ranking member on the House Oversight Committee.
The Republican House members cited gaps between the number of House seats some right-leaning states were projected to gain -- or some left-leaning states were projected to lose -- and the final results announced this week.
They told Raimondo, overseeing the Census Bureau, that they "have questions about the methodology and the role the Biden White House may have played in releasing these numbers."
Bernie Sanders has always been a despicable human
Did Bernie Sanders' Ex and Son Have to Live on Welfare?
I thought I knew all the horrible Bernie Sanders stories. But this one is new to me.
In 1971, Vermont was debating a tenant's rights bill. One of the testimonials to Vermont's State Senate Judiciary Committee came from one Susan Mott of Burlington, who said the legislation did not go far enough in prohibiting discrimination against single mothers and recipients of welfare benefits. Mott had one child and was on welfare.
That one child, introduced earlier in this essay, was Levi Sanders, Bernie Sanders' son.
Which begs the question, why did Bernie Sanders' (former?) girlfriend and his son have to be on welfare? Where was the University of Chicago graduate's considerable marketable skills? What was 5-year-old Levi's father doing that he couldn't afford to support his own child?
Prior to his election as mayor of Burlington, Sanders' income from a single film and writing was not enough to pay child support. In fact, the $33,800 (roughly $94,000 in today's dollars) salary as mayor was his first real full time employment. He doesn't even remember what type of regular work he did before.
And so, his own child ended up on welfare because his father could not - no, would not - support his child despite having a college degree, which, at that time, was fairly rare.That makes Bernie Sanders a deadbeat dad. Bernie Sanders' infatuation with his own political ambition kept him from supporting his own child.
Is it true?
Bernie Sanders does seem to have a poor relationship with Levi. Sandernistas have used Bernie's refusal to support his son for public office as proof of his ethics and integrity. Nah. Bernie had no problem backing the various ambitions of his stepkids with whom he seems to have a much better relationship.
Mott's relationship with Bernie was quite the whirlwind romance.
On March 17, 1969, according to records, Sanders bought another property, in out-of-the-way Stannard, with a population of fewer than 200 people, in the rural area of Vermont called the Northeast Kingdom. Four days later, Levi Noah Sanders was born, at Brightlook Hospital in St. Johnsbury, Vermont; according to his birth certificate, his mother was a woman named Susan Campbell Mott.
Sanders had met Mott in New York and lived with her there. He lived with her in Stannard, too, but not for long before moving to Burlington, Vermont’s biggest city...
He shared custody of his son in an informal arrangement with Mott, according to people who knew them. “She was around a lot,” Nancy Barnett, a friend who lived nearby, told me. Barnett called Mott “a pretty quiet, private person.” Sanders rented a small brick duplex at 295 1/2 Maple Street that was filled with not much furniture and not much food in the fridge but stacks of checked-out library books and scribbled-on legal pads. His son, who called his father “Bernard,” had an upstairs bedroom.
This whole mess only seems to get more twisted.
Messing said that version of the story is oft-repeated, and has perpetuated a major error: That she, Messing, is the mother of Levi Sanders. In fact, the mother of Sanders’ only biological son is Susan Glaeser. (She is listed on Levi’s birth certificate as both Susan Campbell Mott and Susan Sanders, which was also the name attributed to her in a local newspaper’s birth announcements.)...
After Sanders became mayor in 1981, she saw a news story that mistakenly pegged his first wife as Levi’s mother.
“I noticed that after the mayoral certification,” she said, when she saw a profile on him in the paper. “I wondered about it. It is just really weird,” she said. “And irrelevant. Then suddenly it’s important when you’re running for president.”
VTDigger asked Bernie Sanders’ campaign office for a comment about why Sanders didn’t correct the record at some point over the past 35 years. The campaign did not respond to the request before publication of this story.
There's been speculation that Bernie and his people wanted to bury the out-of-wedlock welfare mom and deadbeat dad angle. At the time that would have been more damaging than it is now.
