TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME: The Wire Creator Calls Trump a Racist
By Jose Nino
David Simon, the brains behind the HBO series “The Wire”, lashed out at President Trump by calling him an “empty-suit, race-hating fraud” for his comments about Congressman Elijah Cummings and the district he represents.
Simon specifically said, “If this empty-suit, race-hating fraud had to actually visit West Baltimore for five minutes and meet any of the American citizens who endure there, he’d wet himself.”
The creator of “The Wire” added that the “president is ‘literally’ a simplistic, racist moron.”
The HBO series was set in Baltimore and gave a lurid portrayal of inner-city life in one America’s most dangerous urban centers.
Simon said in a tweet, “I am ‘literally’ the guy writing stuff about the last century of U.S. policy, about the drug war and mass incarceration, about Brown v. and white flight, about all of modern U.S. history to which your kind stays mute.”
The show creator’s attacks against Trump came right after the president described Cummings’s district as “dangerous” and a “rodent infested mess.”
Trump tweeted, “Cummings has been a brutal bully, shouting and screaming at the great men & women of Border Patrol about conditions at the Southern Border, when actually his Baltimore district is FAR WORSE and more dangerous.”
Additionally, the President called Cummings’s district the “Worst in the USA”. He expanded:
His district is considered the Worst in the USA as proven last week during a Congressional tour, the Border is clean, efficient & well run, just very crowded. Cumming District is a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess. If he spent more time in Baltimore, maybe he could help clean up this very dangerous & filthy place.
Various Democratic lawmakers, criticized Trump’s comments as racist. Cummings, the House Oversight and Reform Committee chairman, responded to Trump’s attacks by detailing his role as a lawmaker.
Cummings wrote, “Mr. President, I go home to my district daily. Each morning, I wake up, and I go and fight for my neighbors. It is my constitutional duty to conduct oversight of the Executive Branch. But, it is my moral duty to fight for my constituents.”
The Maryland Congressman has been a strong critic of President Donald Trump.
He labeled the Trump administration’s treatment of migrant children at the southern border as “government-sponsored child abuse.”
Maryland is a state with some of the worst gun control laws in the nation. It is ranked 44th according to Guns & Ammo magazine.
This has not helped cities like Baltimore, which has some of the highest murder ratesin the country.
No matter how much the media try to shame him, Trump always finds a way to expose his critics.
(BALTIMORE HAS A RAT PROBLEM, HERE IS OUR PROBLEM IN CHICAGO) – Satan Disciples member fatally shot man, dog in Back of the Yards after mistaking him for member of rival Latin Saints gang: prosecutors
Jamil Al Shaubi and his dog were killed in 2016 after he was mistaken for a member of the Latin Saints while walking in Back of the Yards.
By Matthew Hendrickson
A 19-year-old member of the Satan Disciples street gang has been accused of fatally shooting a man walking his dogs in Back of the Yards after mistaking his target for a member of the Latin Saints.
Hector Aguirre faces a charge of first-degree murder in the death of 25-year-old Jamil Al Shaubi, who had no gang affiliation, but happened to be walking in Latin Saints territory on Dec. 26, 2016, Cook County prosecutors said at a hearing last week.
The shooting is believed to be retaliation for a Satan Disciples member killed by the Latin Saints earlier that month, according to prosecutors.
Aguirre, believing Shaubi was a Latin Saints member, got out of a stolen Jeep Commander as Shaubi walked with two dogs in the 4400 block of South Hermitage; Aguirre then fired 16 shots with an assault-style rifle, prosecutors said at the hearing Thursday.
Shaubi was struck three times, including in his chest; one dog also was killed, prosecutors said.
After the shooting, captured by video surveillance, Aguirre got back in the Jeep and fled. The SUV was found burning an hour later in the 5100 block of South Hoyne.
In addition to the surveillance footage, a witness identified Aguirre as the gunman and another witness allegedly heard Aguirre talk about shooting a man with his dogs in front of a convenience store in the block.
Prosecutors said the rifle used in the shooting had been recovered from the home of another Satan Disciples member, who is believed to have driven the Jeep the night of the shooting.
At the time he was charged with Shaubi’s murder, Aguirre was serving a 10-year sentence at the downstate Pickneyville Correctional Center for aggravated battery with a firearm in a separate shooting he was found guilty of last year, according to prosecutors and state records.
Judge Susana Ortiz denied Aguirre bail at the hearing on the new charge and scheduled his next court date for Aug. 13.

Trump Was Right: Orkin Lists Baltimore as One of Most Rat-Infested US Cities
By Jim Hoft
On Saturday President Trump took to twitter to demand an investigation of Rep. Elijah Cummings and his corrupt and “rat infested” Maryland district.
Earlier in the day Republican Kimberly Klacik was on FOX and Friends to talk about her video of rat-infested neighborhoods in Baltimore.
Trump was watching — And tweeted out about it.
Democrats were outraged at President Trump for daring to call Baltimore a rat-infested city.
Of course, they said it was racist.
But is Orkin racist?
According to the pest control company Baltimore, Maryland is one of the “rattiest cities” in the United States.
Patch.com reported:
Charm City is once again among America’s “Rattiest Cities,” according to a new report from pest control company Orkin, although it has shown progress in each of the past two years. Baltimore comes in at No. 9 on the company’s 2018 rankings released Monday.
This is the fourth year that Orkin has compiled the rankings, which are based on the number of rodent treatments the company performed from Sept. 15, 2017 to Sept. 15, 2018. It includes both residential and commercial treatments.
Baltimore dropped one slot from last year, when it was ranked eighth; two years ago it was No. 6 on the Orkin list. The city has undertaken several rat control measures, including the issuance of municipal garbage cans to contain waste.
Congratulations Democrats! You just defended the putrid and insanitaryconditions in Baltimore.
(CHICAGO HAS YOU BEAT) – At Least 5 Shot, 3 Killed, Saturday in Gun-Controlled Baltimore
By AWR Hawkins
At least five people were shot, three fatally, Saturday in gun-controlled Baltimore, Maryland.
WJZ reports the first shooting, which proved fatal, occurred around shortly after 1 pm. Officers rushed to the scene and “found a man with gunshot wounds to his body.” He was taken to a hospital, where he died.
Fox 5 News reports that two double shootings occurred minutes apart later in the day.
The first of the two occurred at 10:47 pm, leaving a 26-year-old male dead and a second individual injured. The second of double shootings occurred at 10:56 pm, fatally wounding a 19-year-old male. A 17-year-old was “shot in the back” during the shooting as well.
On July 25, 2019, Breitbart News reported eight persons were shot in one night of violence in Baltimore. One of the shooting victims died from his wounds.
In mid-June 2019 Breitbart News reported Balitmore’s shootings were on track to surpass last year’s numbers, which were up considerably over prior years. The Baltimore Sun’s Justin Fenton reported the shootings in Baltimore were up nearly 80 percent in 2018, compared to figures from 2014. And shootings in 2019 are at a pace to surpass 2018.
Baltimore, like the whole of Maryland, has a confiscatory Red Flag Law, an “assault weapons” ban, a “high capacity” magazine ban, and registration/fingerprint requirements for handgun purchasers.
Outrage Olympics! Another Democrat Freakout After Trump Calls Out Cummings ’Disgusting and Racist’ But! Don’t Dispute Baltimore’s Spiraling Crime, Poverty
By Simon Kent
Democrats flicked the switch to hyperbolic outrage Sunday as they struggled to outdo each other in condemning President Trump for calling Rep. Elijah Cummings a “brutal bully” to border patrol officials and suggesting he should help fix the city of Baltimore.
Trump added the congressman’s district should be investigated for all of the federal money invested there despite its being a “corrupt mess.”
First off was Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT on CNN’s “State of the Union” who said:
It’s unbelievable that we have a President of the United States who attacks American cities, who attacks Americans, who attacks somebody who is a friend of mine, Elijah Cummings is one of the most decent and outstanding members of the House of Representatives. He fights every day to improve life in his community.
Then came Judiciary Committee chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY). He called President Donald Trump’s attacks on both Cummings and Baltimore “disgusting” and “racist.” Nadler told ABC’s “This Week,”:
Well, the president is as he usually is often is disgusting and racist. They’re designed to distract attention from the very serious allegations about his conduct that came from the committee hearings this week. The fact is, the president accepted help from the Russians to attack our election. His campaign worked with the Russians, that’s undisputed, and he works hard to cover up to cover those crimes and committed more crimes. He’s trying to change the subject.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) also went to bat for Cummings, decrying the president as “racist.”
“@RepCummings is a champion in the Congress and the country for civil rights and economic justice, a beloved leader in Baltimore, and deeply valued colleague,” she tweeted. “We all reject racist attacks against him and support his steadfast leadership.”
Next up on the Twitter parade of hurt feelings was Joe Biden.
Cory Booker was also quick to add his take, revealing he felt pain, so much pain:
Jay Inslee weighed in with his considered response:
Billionaire environmental activist and 2020 Democratic hopeful Tom Steyer was sad:
PELOSI LECTURES TRUMP ON BALTIMORE POVERTY — FROM 5-STAR HOTEL IN ITALY!
Typical Democrat hypocrisy on full display
July 28, 2019
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had some choice words Saturday for President Trump over his remarks about Baltimore’s squalid conditions under the failed leadership of Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) — from a luxury hotel in Venice.
“@RepCummings is a champion in the Congress and the country for civil rights and economic justice, a beloved leader in Baltimore, and deeply valued colleague,” Pelosi tweeted Saturday. “We all reject racist attacks against him and support his steadfast leadership. #ElijahCummingsIsAPatriot.”
Notably, Politico pointed out that Pelosi had been spotted at a 5-star restaurant at Hotel Danieli, in Venice, Italy, that same day.
Pelosi would never spend a second in the declining parts of Baltimore any more than Cummings would, but that won’t stop them from lecturing Trump about how racist he is for daring to point out the decrepit conditions of the middle-class while the Democrat elite bask in luxury.
Just this week, reports emerged that Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign spent over $12,000 on paellaalone, and $300,000 on private jet travel.
As we reported, videos from Cummings’ own district shows an epidemic of poverty, filth, and squalor plaguing the once-vibrant city of Baltimore, consistent with Trump’s criticisms.
But Democrats won’t let a pesky thing like facts get in the way of their destroy-Trump campaign heading into 2020.
NEW VIDEO SHOWS COPS BEING ‘WATER BOMBED’ IN ATLANTA
Trend appears to be spreading
JULY 26, 2019
The disturbing lawless trend of police officers being ‘water bombed’ by large gangs of young people appears to be continuing with a video out of Atlanta showing a cop getting completely doused.
The video shows dozens of people with water guns aimed at a police officer who tries to retreat to his squad car for safety.
The officer is massively outnumbered and visibly agitated as the mob surrounds him.
Earlier this week, we highlighted other examples of the same trend in Harlem and Brooklyn, where cops were doused with water and one had a bucket thrown at his head.
The fad serves to illustrate how there is a growing sense of lawlessness and a total lack of respect for police officers in major cities.
Following the incidents in New York, NYPD sources blamed Mayor Bill de Blasio for creating a climate that is soft on crime.
President Trump then waded into the debate, calling the incidents a “total disgrace” on calling on de Blasio to take action.
The Mayor responded by tweeting, “Crime’s gone down year after year in New York City and it’s not just because you finally left town.”
How long it will be before those figures start to rise given the seemingly rampant disrespect for police in New York remains to be seen.
FREUDIAN SLIP: Reporter Refers to Brutal Beating of White Man as ‘Terrific Attack’
A reporter referred to an attack on two men by over a dozen youths as a “terrific attack”.
By Tom Pappert
In what may represent a stunning display of horrific race relations in the mainstream media, an African American reporter for Fox 5 DC referred to an attack on a white man as a “terrific attack” on live television, and the news station uploaded the video to its website.
“A massive beat down caught on camera in the district,” said one Fox 5 reporter, before another added “More than a dozen teens carrying out the attack near a D.C. hotel, Fox 5’s Ike Ejiochi is on top of the story for us tonight, he’s live in Northwest with the details.”
The video then turns to a live feed of Ejiochi on the ground at the scene of the horrific attack.
“Jim, this was a terrific attack,” says Ejiochi. Big League Politics edited the clip for brevity, but Ejiochi did not correct himself, or use another adjective to describe the beating. Full video is available at Fox 5’s website.
WATCH:
According to Fox 5’s own reporting, it was a truly disgusting attack. Over 12 African American teens, who may be as young as 13 or 14, are scene punching, kicking, pushing, and spitting on two white men in video captured on local security cameras.
It is not currently known whether the attack was racially motivated.
Video of the incident captured by a surveillance camera shows the two men being surrounded while walking toward the doors of the hotel. One of the victims was able to get inside of the lobby while the other victim was punched and pushed to the ground after being swarmed by several of the attackers.
Police say the suspects could be as young as 13 or 14 years old. The man who is seen on the video being struck, kicked and even spit on was transported to a nearby hospital. He suffered injuries to the head and left eye socket.
The second victim suffered a swollen left eye and was also admitted to the hospital. He told police that before the attack began, one of the suspects screamed “That’s him,” and pointed to the man he was with.
The D.C. Police Department is currently seeking “the public’s assistance in identifying suspects in reference to an Aggravated Assault offense” related to the incident.
The police department posted a Tweet about the incident, and included a YouTube video of the horrific attack:
Big League Politics contacted Fox 5 D.C. to see if they intended to describe the terrible attack as “terrific” and did not receive an immediate response.
