One More Road To Cross!

It ain't over until April and November.

Analilia Mejia is now officially the Democratic nominee for the open congressional seat in New Jersey. Her top opponent former congressman Tom Malinowski conceded this morning.

The Midway Wrap Up in May.

With 97% of the vote, Mejia can finally celebrate.

With the backing of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Meija won over Malinowski and former New Jersey lieutenant governor Tahesha Way. 

Malinowsky and Way were pro Israel Democrats. 

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) had invested millions into this race. The group United Democracy Project is responsible for sinking former House members Cori Bush, Jamaal Bowman and Marie Newman. The group denied Nina Turner, Jen Perleman, Jessica Cisneros, India Walton and Antonio Delgado opportunities to change the status quo.

I came to realize that I owe Nina Turner and Jen Perelman apologies. 

Had I known how Reps. Shontel Brown (D-OH) and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) were knee deep in the shit, I would have devoted my time to anti-establishment postings. 

At the time, I was satisfied with Brown. She was focused primarily on Cleveland, Ohio issues. The Oct. 7th Act of Resistance exposed how evil Israel was. She id literally parroting pro Israel talking points. 

She ignored the concerns from pro Palestinian protesters.

Brown had her "I'm speaking" moment like former vice president Kamala Harris.

In the beginning, many felt sympathetic to the Israelis. But when you hear the rhetoric of these scumbags, these politicians and both Donald J. Trump and Joe Biden, I come to realize that the U.S. alliance with Israel is the cause of the problems in the world.

If you see a genocide, then it is a genocide.

What is controversial?

Watching the junk food media, social media influencers, celebrities, President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, his administration, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), House and Senate members, the Democratic Party and Republican Party claim its not a genocide.

What should be an issue?

All of this endless support, aid and cover to the apartheid ethnostate of Israel. 

Why our federal and state leaders going to Israel to kiss a damn brick wall?

Why can't Americans have a safety net?

Why can't Americans have affordable healthcare?

Why can't Americans have a vacation that is affordable?

Why can't Americans have the right to protest our taxpayer funds going to Israel?

Did you that 36 states have an anti-BDS (boycott, divestment and sanctions) law which requires Americans to not boycott Israel? 

If you are applying for state contracts, state jobs, college tuition, disaster relief, victim's compensation or financial aid, some states incorporate a rule that you cannot support groups associated with designated foreign terrorist groups.

Even though its free speech, you can be fired from your job if you criticize Jews. However, Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, Sheikhs, Satanists, Scientologists, Mormons, Catholics and Unitarians are criticized without being fired.

Why are Jews calling themselves a race? 

These are taboo questions which often become fodder for pro Israel groups to target critics. They often show more concern for words and not actions. There is no violence in words. 
AIPAC will start backing Republican Joe Hathaway.

When these racists call Black people racial slurs, it's vile but protected speech. As long as they don't become white terrorists like the Charleston and Buffalo shooters, they can speak their vile hateful words. Ignoring them is the best defense, 

Because Black America is staying out of most of the drama.

Oh, these I am not helping because they voted against Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

Tell me: 

What would a second term of Biden or a first term of Harris do differently?

Cause Biden was the catalyst to the Democrats collapsing in 2024. His refusal to step aside because of cancer, his age and some of his verbal fumbles. His stupid Catholic beliefs. His failure to focus on the domestic issues despite turning things around post pandemic. His failure to pass meaningful legislation like the Build Back Better Act, the George Floyd Policing Act, the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the codifation of the Roe decision. He allowed Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema and Sen. John Fetterman (I-PA) roll over him. He gave Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu everything he wanted and yet, that coward secretly plotted with Trump to depress turnout for him and eventually Harris.

Biden's full fledged support of Israel cost the Democrats big time. Harris sticking with the former president doomed her bid too. 

So for all the "we tried to warn you" crowd, you better understand that the "we ain't playing" crowd is serious. If you don't want your opinion, our concerns or our vote, good luck on the Midterms.

Malinowski on Tuesday conceded the special Democratic primary for New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill's old district in Congress, with progressive activist Analilia Mejia leading the vote count for the seat.

Though Mejia is very likely going to win the contest, NBC News has not yet projected her as the winner. The NBC News Decision Desk is waiting to evaluate the later-arriving mail and provisional ballots that still must be reported.

She had 29.1% of the Democratic primary vote to 27.7% for Malinowski by Tuesday morning.

Mejia ran with support from prominent progressive leaders including Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, raising her profile in a crowded field of 11 Democratic candidates in the Thursday primary.

Malinowski conceded to Mejia in a statement five days later, as the party prepares to take on Republican Joe Hathaway, the mayor of Randolph Township, in an April 16 special general election for the blue district.

Mejia, a former Sanders staffer, rallied in January with the Vermont senator, who called her a “great organizer” and said Washington is in need of officials who are prepared to “stand up and fight” like her.

In one of Mejia's digital ads, she said, "I am not the candidate with the political machine," adding, "I am an organizer. We have an opportunity to send a message: We resist machine politics that tell us to settle."

Tom Malinowski blames AIPAC for splitting the vote allowing Meija to coast through.

On the airwaves, the primary was defined in part by millions of dollars of attack ads Malinowski faced from United Democracy Project, the super PAC aligned with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the well-known pro-Israel advocacy group. The super PAC’s ads implied that Malinowski supported current federal immigration enforcement operations that he has publicly denounced.

But the reason for the ads was about Israel. The group told The New York Times it was because Malinowski had spoken in support of putting conditions on U.S. aid to the country.

Yet in cutting down Malinowski, the group’s ads helped give an opening to Mejia, who has been critical of Israel, saying it had committed genocide in the Gaza Strip.

In his concession statement, Malinowski congratulated Mejia and gave her "unequivocal praise and credit for running a positive campaign." Malinowski then criticized AIPAC, saying its "dishonest ads" prompted voters to ask him if he was "MAGA" in the closing days of the campaign.

"My convictions — including my support for Israel as a democratic and Jewish state — don't change because of who supports or opposes me," Malinowski continued. "But our Democratic Party should have nothing to do with a pro-Trump organization that demands absolute fealty to positions that are outside the mainstream of the American pro-Israel community, and then smears those who don't fall in line."

Had Tahesha Way denounced Israel, she would have been the nominee.

Malinowski added that he will work to oppose any candidate backed by AIPAC in the regularly scheduled June primary for a full term in this district.

Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Mejia credited her win to a powerful ground operation but also decried AIPAC's influence on the primary.

"I think it is horrendous what AIPAC attempted to do in this race. I think that it is part of their brand to take — to misconstrue facts, to confuse voters and to try to create division," Mejia said, later adding that "while they did play a role in this race," she was "sure what they didn’t do was win this for us."

Mejia was also endorsed by the Working Families Party, which spent $194,000 supporting her campaign. The former Sanders staffer also won support from two local chapters of the Service Employees International Union and the local chapter of Communications Workers of America.

In the election’s final days, Mejia posted a flurry of videos of support from national progressives including Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Rep. Pramila Jayapal of Washington. Rep. Ro Khanna of California took a train from Washington, D.C., to attend an event for Mejia.

The Bern'ing sensation.

Sherrill, a Democratic moderate, represented the 11th District from 2019 until she resigned in November after winning the governorship. She was highly popular, carrying the district by 15 points during her House re-election campaign in 2024.

Affordability was the top issue in the special primary, with the candidates also using that issue to express their opposition to President Donald Trump, who has been a major factor in many other special elections since he took office for a second term.

Opposition to the president became a local issue in the district’s bedroom communities after the Trump administration canceled funding for the Gateway tunnel project, which would provide new commuter connections between Newark, New Jersey, and New York City.

It was the first highly competitive Democratic primary in the recent history of the 11th District, which was held by Republican Rodney Frelinghuysen for more than two decades before Sherrill won the district in 2018.

The special general election to fill the seat for the remainder of Sherrill’s term is April 16. The seat will then be up for grabs later this year as part of the regular midterm elections.
