Cori Bush Defeated!

A foreign lobbying group is trying to oust progressives and get Trump back in. Israel is becoming not only a burden but a downright threat to our democracy. Cori Bush, the controversial Democratic lawmaker was ousted by Wesley Bell.

Democrats still have this issue. 

President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz better do something about this country. Russia, China and Iran are not meddling in the U.S. elections. It is one country and it's been like this for years.

Israel once again interfered in U.S. elections and it comes as no surprise that foreign operatives from AIPAC and Democratic Majority for Israel have made a jackass like Wesley Bell win.

It also is smack to the face for the supporters who wanted police reform and an end to genocide in Gaza. This will be the ten year anniversary of Michael Brown, Jonathan Crawford III, Tamir Rice and Eric Garner's deaths at the hands of police.

I am so frustrated with the Democrats siding with the apartheid ethnostate of Israel.

Bell and George Latimer are disgraceful and I hope they taste karma.

Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) despite all the theatrics and the bluster had delivered for St. Louis and St. Louis County. The Republicans and big money once again ousted a member of The Squad.

“This is only the beginning,” Bush told the AP before primary day. “Because if they can unseat me, then they’re going to continue to come after more Democrats.”

Bush, a second-term lawmaker, was bested in the Democratic race for Missouri’s 1st District by St. Louis prosecuting attorney Bell, who was backed by a major pro-Israel group. The race was the second most expensive House primary in U.S. history, taking a back seat only to the contest earlier this year for Rep. Jamaal Bowman’s Bronx-area seat, according to the group ad impact. 

From Shontel Brown to Wesley Bell, the Israeli lobby has recruited nobodies to oust progressives.

Bell sought to frame Bush as out of touch with her constituents throughout the monthslong race and highlighted the multiple investigations into her campaign finances. But Bush’s criticism of the Israeli government, more than any other factor, came to define the campaign.  

A registered nurse and activist, Bush was the first member of Congress to call for a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas, nine days after Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel. Since then, she has remained a steadfast critic of Israel’s handling of the war and accused Israeli officials of committing genocide.

The United Democracy Project, a super PAC aligned with The American Israel Public Affairs Committee, poured more than $8 million into the contest to boost Bell’s campaign to replace Bush in the halls of Congress. Justice Democrats, a PAC that has knocked U.S. aid to Israel, meanwhile, said it spent more than $2 million in support of Bush. 

The St. Louis primary isn’t the first race where AIPAC has played a role in 2024. The group has put its weight behind an array of candidates challenging some of the most vocal Democratic lawmakers criticizing Israel’s handling of the war in Gaza. 

I am disappointed in Rep. Shontel Brown (D-OH), Rep. Emilia Sykes (D-OH), Rep. Nikema Williams (D-GA), Rep. Lauren Underwood (D-IL), Rep. Lucy McBath (D-GA), Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-OH) and Rep. Grace Meng (D-NY). They can't claim to be progressive if they're on their knees giving in to Israel and its minions. 

Israel is a threat to the world. 

Biden will hopefully be the last U.S. president to back Israel.

It will be a setback to lose Bush and Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY). Their antics did amount to being a headache in the Biden agenda. They're votes against the infrastructure law was used by the Israeli lobby to paint them as obstacles.

AIPAC has backed lawmakers who refuse to certify the 2020 election. The lawmakers who participated in trying to free insurrectionists. The group backs Trump.

Holding these lawmakers accountable is not just a pledge, but a promise. You need to learn who represents your community. Your local community member, your school board member, your mayor, your state representative, your state senator, your governor, your U.S. Representative, your U.S. Senator and the president need to be held accountable for their actions. 

Israel must be held accountable for war crimes and the U.S. must end its aid. Our taxpayer money should not help Israel any further.

They are feeling it. Democrats know the risk of supporters being turned off by their policies. They know that Biden is under extreme pressure to do something. Arab Americans, Muslim and young voters have vowed to never back Biden and now Harris putting her election chances in danger.

The call number to the White House and U.S. Capitol is now going to be used. This is the official White House numbers 202-456-1111 and 202-456-1414. This is the Congress official phone number, 202-224-3121. Please be respectful to operators, staff members and elected leaders. Your calls are monitored by the U.S. Secret Service and U.S. Capitol Police. 

Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence. Let them know that we are tired of police officers using immunity when committing death of suspects in custody. Let them know that you are tired of private equity firms getting away with destroying small businesses and long established companies. Let them know that you are tired of your taxpayer money going to foreign nations like Israel. You are tired of hearing about "Israel having a right to..." and the bogus claims of being anti-semitic or in support of terrorism. You want an immediate ceasefire and accountability for war crimes done by Israel. You want no more foreign influence in American elections. You also want to make sure future presidents and lawmakers avoid influence from lobbyists.

End the status quo of American politics. Enough of the noise. Enough of the dehumanizing of people. Enough of the "Us versus Them" bullshit. 

Focus on the issues.

I don't care about the culture wars and partisan banter. I don't my taxpayer money funding border walls, Israel or lawmakers' travel expenses.
