Six GOP idiots only complicate Malinowski’s role in sex-offender bill

By Rubashov

Isn’t it humorous when politicians try to weasel out of something instead of an honest and forthright defense?  Congressman Tom Malinowski is currently playing the weasel – and it is entirely his own doing.
Reporting on a “controversial television ad saying that Rep. Tom Malinowski (D-Ringoes) lobbied on behalf of sex offenders,” David Wildstein of the New Jersey Globe writes: 

The ad alleges that Malinowski opposed a section of the 2006 crime bill creating a national sex offender registry while heading the Washington office of Human Rights Watch.   Malinowski has vehemently denied any role and one of his colleagues corroborated that…
 
In testimony prepared for Congress, Human Rights Watch suggesting that while sex offender registration was warranted, there was “no legitimate community safety justification for the provisions in this legislation that require offenders to register for the rest of their lives, regardless of whether they have lived offense free for decades.”

In a New Jersey Globe debate with his Republican opponent, Senate Minority Leader Tom Kean, Jr. on Sunday, Malinowski insisted that he had nothing to do with the crime bill when it came up fourteen years ago.

“I did not play any such role,” Malinowski said.
 
Former Assistant U.S. Attorney General Jennifer Daskal, who worked at Human Right Watch in 2006, told the New Jersey Globe in August that she handled the crime bill and Malinowski did not attended any meetings on the legislation.

This mirrors the b.s. served up by Janet Rosenzweig, Chris Christie’s nominee to head the NJ Department of Children and Families.  Rosenzweig tried the “I knew nothing” scam too when confronted about her former job as executive director of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality.  In the end, the Democrats on the Judiciary Committee didn’t buy it and she didn’t get the job.
 
In Tom Malinowski’s case, the guy has often bragged about how much he saved the world when he was at Human Rights Watch.  Now Tom is doing a Sgt. Schultz.

But a quick check of the group’s website during 2006 clearly lists him as the head of advocacy at the Washington, DC office.

Tom Malinowski was one of the top dogs at Human Rights Watch, the 15th name on a long list of the organization’s staffers.  Jennifer Daskal, who is obligingly taking the fall for her elected friend, is mentioned all the way down the list as the 151st name listed.  Does Tom really want us to think that he, the Washington Advocacy Director, had nothing to do with one of the group’s top issues in Washington, DC?  Was he incompetent?  Just a pretty face?
 
Looking at the circa 2006 website of the organization of which Tom Malinowski was a part, we see sentiments like these…
 
“Banishment is not the answer (regarding a four-time sex offender)… Communities will be safer when sex offenders are able to re-integrate, receive support for behavior change, establish new adult relationships… (sex offender) registries become vehicles for the vicious ostracism and pointless torment of the men and women identified on them.”
 
“Some crimes—like the recent highly publicized cases of children murdered by registered sex offenders—test our capacity to envision clear-headed and effective responses. But these are exactly the kinds of responses we need. Stripping offenders of their dignity and casting them out might make us feel better, but it diverts us from developing policies that would make our children safer.”
 
There are dozens and dozens and dozens more like them.
 
So how can Tom Malinowski now claim to have missed the fact that his organization had serious issues with sex offender registries like those in Megan’s Law?  Was he unfamiliar with his group’s own website?  Was Malinowski, as the group’s top lobbyist in Washington, oblivious to its point of view as expressed in everything from press releases to policy papers?  It doesn’t seem likely.
 
Now for the six GOP idiots who have tried to virtue-signal their way into the limelight.  They issued a statement, reported in the New Jersey Globe, that was sickening in its saccharine insincerity:
 
“…the ad plays into and amplifies a dangerous current of fear in our politics, which is turning Americans against one another and distracting us from the real challenges our country faces… there should be agreement that the debate should be based on facts and focus on issues. We want to hear where the candidates stand and how they differ on important issues like the economy, health care, the environment, public safety, and national security.”
 
Wow, these Republican fools sound very much like the website (circa 2006) of the group Tom Malinowski worked for…

“Public officials and the public they serve should focus more on promoting programs that make sex offenders accountable to their communities instead of pandering to fear and public hysteria by pushing them into dangerous margins.”
 
Did these Republican donkeys forget that our political process mirrors our legal process in that it is adversarial?  There’s a lawyer or two among those six.  And since when is Megan’s Law and protecting children from sexual assault and murder not an “important issue”?  Are any of these fools contemplating re-election?      
 
Even worse for these Republican office holders is that right in big bold letters on that group’s annual report is the name of the man who funded such sentiments… George Soros.  And it’s almost funny when you consider that some of these jackasses actually used the same issue against their opponents when they were candidates and actually expanded upon it when they got into office…
 
The township moved closer to restricting convicted sex offenders from living near schools and parks when it re-introduced an ordinance that would expand the provisions set by Megan’s Law… The ordinance would make it illegal for any Tier 2 and Tier 3 sex offender to live within 2,500 feet of any school or public park.  Tier 2 and 3 sex offenders are those determined by the state to pose a moderate or relatively high risk of re-offense respectively… The new ordinance identifies by name the restricted areas including all township schools, parks, and the Board of Education administration building. The proposed restrictions also apply to recreation areas in private developments... The proposed ordinance builds on the state and federal law, which only requires that communities be made aware of the presence of convicted sex offenders.
 
Tom Malinowski’s group would not be in favor of this, no way.
 
While Malinowski hides from his past and his Republican donkeys piss down their own legs, Tom Moran of the Star-Ledger attempted to examine the issue itself in detail.  Of course, he did get a bit too emotional about it, a bit too personal, for some reason.  We certainly don’t think Tom Moran really believes that Human Rights Watch favors sex offender registries, because they don’t.
 
And that’s okay.     
 
Lots of people on both the Left and the Right have honest philosophical reservations about sex offender registries.  Scott Garrett, as a member of the New Jersey Legislature, voted against provisions of Megan’s Law because he had philosophical misgivings about it. 
 
Nobody needs to run from having an intelligent discussion about sex offender registries.  Nobody needs to call anyone a liar for raising the issue or, as those six Republican jackasses did, suggest that it is not a proper subject for discussion. 
 
An honest defense by Malinowski of his group’s philosophical position would have actually advanced the public’s understanding of the policy.  At their best, that’s what political campaigns are supposed to do.  And that’s what the media is supposed to assist them in doing.  But instead, we have ducking and hiding, and hysterics and screaming and stupidity.  What a pity.    
 
And finally, Tom Moran calls Human Rights Watch “a globally respected organization that won the Nobel Peace Prize”.  Well, Aung San Suu Kyi – Malinowski’s gal – was once “globally respected”.  That was before she became known as the “handmaiden to genocide.”  Bernie Madoff was “globally respected” once-upon-a-time.  Harvey Weinstein was a "globally respected" film producer who was awarded a CBE from Queen Elizabeth II.  The terrorist Yasser Arafat won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994.  Murdered a great many people, won the Nobel Peace Prize.  Fritz Haber, the inventor of that wartime favorite – chlorine gas – also picked up a Nobel Prize.  Thousands died, many blinded, but he got a prize.  Even Adolf Hitler was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize, and he was Time Magazine's "Man of the Year".  No kidding. 

Ideas and reputations either withstand scrutiny or they do not.  Pointing to credentials instead of arguing your point is the last refuge of the incompetent.

Polling numbers for so-called “Jihad Squad” suck/ Why do Democrat candidates embrace them?

Democrat internal polling released over the summer showed that members of the so-called “Jihad Squad” were so unpopular that it could have an effect on the 2020 presidential race. The Axios organization reported that Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was recognized by 74 percent of voters in the poll – but just 22 percent had a favorable view of her. Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN) was recognized by 53 percent of voters, with just 9% having a favorable view.

"Socialism was viewed favorably by 18% of the voters and unfavorably by 69%," Axios added, whereas "capitalism was 56% favorable; 32% unfavorable."

Meanwhile, a poll from Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez's own district found that she had a more than 2:1 ratio of unfavorable (51 percent) to favorable (21 percent), with 33 percent saying they would be ready to vote against her, and only 13 percent prepared to re-elect her.

Polling figures released by the Hudson Institute indicated that 75 percent of American voters support Israel and say that it is in America’s best interest to have the Jewish State as our closest ally in the Middle East.

60 percent of American voters agreed that anti-Semitism is happening more frequently today than 15 years ago – with most blaming anti-Semitism in the United States on Muslim extremists (37 percent), followed by right-win extremists (28 percent), and then left-wing extremists (22 percent). That’s nearly 60 percent of American voters who disagree with the assessment of Democrat Congressman Tom Malinowksi, who solely blames right-wing extremism for the rise.

A majority of American voters told pollsters that the BDS movement – a central plank in the ideology of the so-called “Jihad Squad” – is anti-Semitic. Most American voters believe the United States should stand with Israel in opposing the BDS movement that is supported by groups like CAIR (the Council on American-Islamic Relations) and their allies, like Linda Sarsour and Action Together.

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) notes: The campaign to delegitimize Israel is being waged across the globe: The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement (BDS), which rejects Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state, is the most prominent effort to undermine Israel’s existence. The BDS campaign is rampant with misinformation and distortion. ADL responds to BDS threats through advocacy and education, and we recently partnered with Reut Institute to develop in-depth analysis and strategic initiatives to marginalize and expose the illegitimacy of the BDS movement.

Advocates of BDS target multinational companies, college communities and well-known institutions, meaning it touches almost everyone. College and university campuses have become battlegrounds.

Some pro-BDS activists have indulged in the most bizarre and repulsive kinds of anti-Semitic propaganda, like the statement pictured above.  And yet, when pro-BDS groups like CAIR and Action Together invade college campuses and meetings of their trustees, those institutions do little to fight back.
 
Americans applaud actions like that taken by the German government earlier this year, which passed a resolution condemning the BDS movement, comparing it to Nazi-era campaigns against Jewish businesses.  So why are we not hearing more about this from Republicans in New Jersey?  Do voters here support the BDS movement?  Are New Jersey voters more anti-Semitic than elsewhere in the United States?  Why are Republicans so unwilling to take up this battle when fighting anti-Semitism is so obviously the right thing to do?

And what’s up with the Democrats?
 
No less than eight Democrats who are running for the New Jersey Legislature this year have been clearly identified as members of the far-Left Action Together New Jersey on the group’s website.  They are Stacey Gunderman, Lisa Mandelblatt, Deana Lykins, Lisa Bhimani, Darcy Draeger, Christine Clark, Laura Fortgang, and Steven Farkas.
 
On February 10, 2018, Action Together New Jersey accepted an award from Linda Sarsour.  Accepting the award was Action Together New Jersey’s Executive Director, Uyen “Winn” Khuong; Action Together New Jersey’s Sussex County Co-Chair, Johannah Hinksmon; and Action Together New Jersey’s Director of Operations, Kim Baron.
 
Linda Sarsour is the controversial Democrat activist who has praised the notoriously anti-Semitic Louis Farrakhan, cop-killer Joanne Chesimard, and the anti-Semitic BDS movement.  In 2017, Sarsour famously called for “Jihad” against the elected government of the United States of America…

The award was in recognition of voter registration drives and other political campaigning done by Action Together New Jersey in coordination with a group called CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Presenting the award was CAIR National Chairwoman, Roula Allouch, and CAIR-NJ Founder, Ahmed Al Shehab.

Due to its apparent ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, one of America’s most important Islamic allies – the United Arab Emirates – has designated CAIR a terrorist organization.

Action Together New Jersey is in the forefront of the drive to push the Democrat Party in New Jersey to the far-Left. They have joined CAIR in opposing the bi-partisan efforts of New Jersey Congressman Josh Gottheimer (D-5) to push back on members of the so-called “Jihad Squad” (far-Left Democrats Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib) in their attempt to promote the anti-Semitic BDS movement.

Why are these Democrats in bed with pro-BDS movement members of Congress when opposing BDS is the morally right thing to do? What is wrong with New Jersey Democrats and their failure to recognize the anti-Semitism of their “heroes”?

Opposing BDS and those who support it is the morally right thing to do and the politically sensible thing to do.

Tom Malinowski wants you to be afraid of these guys…

Oh look… white Americans!

These are the kind of people that Leftist “new” Democrats Tom Malinowski, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Ilhan Abdullahi Omar say we need to “worry” about.  They claim that white Americans are the real terrorists.  In fact, Congressman Malinowski wrote an op-ed for the newspaper belonging to the king of the corporate One Percenters, Jeff Bezos, claiming that white Americans are the biggest terrorist threat. 

No, we don’t think somebody took a dump in his brain and forgot to flush it.  Tom Malinowski is just playing a cynical political game – he’s ignoring real terrorist threats (and leaving America vulnerable to another September 11th attack) – while kissing the hindquarters of those fashionable leftist one-percenters who fund his political career.  You know, the kind of people who employ lots of men-with-guns to defend their gated communities, but who want to make it a crime for you to have one to defend your family from the criminals they push out on to the streets (another of their new “fashionable” causes).

And what is worse is that Tom Malinowski stayed silent when volunteer and union firefighters became the latest of fellow Democrat Phil Murphy’s victims.  Tom Malinowski said not a word when Governor Murphy announced that he was stealing more than $33 million in money meant to provide services for firefighters who are old and without sufficient means or who have post-traumatic stress troubles. 

Governor Murphy announced that he was stealing their money so that he and First Lady Tammy Jane Murphy (nee Macbeth) could use it to fund One Percenter fashion statements… like subsidized legal services for undocumented immigrants illegally resident in the United States.  Murphy tried to steal the money and Tom Malinowski gave silent consent. 

Congressman Malinowski is a disgrace.

Democrat Malinowski says White Americans are world’s greatest terrorist threat

America is experiencing another strange wave of paranoia – top down again, as in the 1950’s.  Only this time, it is the far Left who want us to believe that there is a “red” under every bed.  Of course – and as they are the last vestige of the failed ideology of Soviet Marxist Leninism – it is not “reds” that they want us to be afraid of, it is “whites”. 

In an opinion piece published on Saturday, freshman Congressman Tom Malinowski (D-7), argued that “America’s greatest terrorist threat comes from within.”  He attempts to make the point that what he calls “white supremacists” are a growing phenomenon on the terror scene.  To back this up, Malinowski notes several recent incidents – including the attack on a mosque in New Zealand – but for some reason fails to mention the Easter Sunday attacks in Sri Lanka that killed more than 300 human beings. 

Congressman Malinowski needs to be asked directly:  Why the deliberate oversight?  Do the lives of Asian Christians not count?

But Malinowski’s column is flawed in so many more ways that just that.  First, can Tom Malinowski actually argue that the threat of white supremacism is greater today than in, say 1972, when openly racist Governor George Corley Wallace won Democratic Party primaries in Maryland, Michigan, Florida, North Carolina, and Tennessee?  Wallace came in second in Wisconsin, New Mexico, Indiana, West Virginia, Oregon, and Pennsylvania.  In a field of 14 candidates, the Democrat Governor who stood in the school house door to personally block Black students from entering got 3.7 million votes in Democrat primaries – nearly a quarter of all cast – before an assassination attempt paralyzed him and ended his presidential campaign.

Does Congressman Tom Malinowski really believe that there are more “white supremacists” around today than then?  If so, then he seriously needs to take a few years off to study the history of his own party.

Everyone knows that terrorism is a global phenomenon.  It is not confined to one country and it does not respect national borders.  Everyone knows this – from counter-terrorism experts to average citizens.  Everyone but those “new” Democrats – like New York’s Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Minnesota’s Ilhan Abdullahi Omar, and New Jersey’s Tom Malinowski.  They push a narrative that claims that it is “America” or “Americans” (read: “White Americans”) who constitute the real terror threat.

But of course, the world disagrees with them.  In Saturday’s op-ed, Congressman Malinowski wrote that there were 18 “white supremacist” “hate” groups that were terror threats (and that was just in New Jersey).  Having worked at the State Department, Tom Malinowski knows this is nonsense.  He knows that those groups are not designated as terrorist threats – no matter what their stupid ideology is. 

Wikipedia provides a very good list of the world’s terrorist groups – as designated by individual nations as well as international organizations like the United Nations, NATO, and the European Union.  There are dozens and dozens of terrorist organizations across the globe.  Can anyone find those 18 “hate” groups that Congressman Malinowski and his “new” Democrats would like us to focus our attention on?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_designated_terrorist_groups

Anyone – from an expert on counter-terrorism, to a citizen, or even a “new Democrat” member of Congress – after reading this list of designated terrorist groups would have a pretty good idea of where the threat of terrorism is coming from.  And it isn’t some Alt-Right group that put this list together.  This is from the United Nations, the European Union, and the Obama State Department.  Tom Malinowski should check out just who the Muslim nations of the world think are terrorists.  No, it’s not his 18 “hate” groups, it’s groups like the Muslim Brotherhood.

In his op-ed, Congressman Malinowski brought up the recent attack on a mosque in New Zealand.  Okay, well which groups does the government of New Zealand designate as terrorist groups?  Well, here’s the full list:  Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, al-Qaeda, Al-Shabaab, Ansar Bait al-Maqdis, Ansaru (The Vanguards for the Protection of Muslims in Black Africa), Boku Haram, Communist Party of the Philippines/ New Peoples’ Army, Continuity Irish Republican Army, ETA, Hamas, Harakat Sham al-Islam, Hezbollah (military wing), Indian Mujahideen, Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, Jundallah (Peoples’ Resistance Movement of Iran), Kurdistan Workers’ Party, National Liberation Army, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Real Irish Republican Army, Revolutionary Armed Forces of Columbia, and the Taliban.

Does anyone see those 18 “hate” groups Tom Malinowski is babbling about?  No, you don’t, because mature statesmen understand the true nature of terrorism and understand that to effectively combat it, you have to know what it is.  And it isn’t some mental deficient looking for social media attention.  Every multiple shooting isn’t the work of a terror organization.  Every serial killer isn’t a terrorist.

There’s also the idea of what constitutes “hate” and “hate crime” to consider.  According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Uniform Crime Reports, in 2001, just 10 people died as a result of “hate crimes”.  This sounds a bit short to us… like 2,977 short.  That’s right.  The FBI doesn’t count terrorist attacks like those of September 11, 2001, as “hate crimes.”  Terrorism isn’t counted as “hate”, so why is Tom Malinowski conflating the two?   

If Congressman Malinowski wanted to correct an injustice – and honor the 715 New Jersey residents murdered on September 11, 2001 – he would work to get the FBI to count them as victims of a hate crime.  Instead, Malinowski plays politics by whitewashing the real terrorists in an attempt to smear his political enemies and focus American against American. 

Malinowski’s attempts to silence union workers who complain about job losses due to outsourcing and offshoring are particularly disingenuous.  Calling such workers “anti-Semitic” and likening them to terrorists is way, way over the top. 

Especially as Malinowski’s allies in groups like ANTIFA are, in fact, anti-Semitic and anti-globalist.  Just ask the Government of the State of Israel and its Prime Minister which American political party is the truer friend of the Jewish State?

Of course, Tom Malinowski knows all this, but he deliberately lied in his op-ed anyway.  Malinowski is a divider who seeks to pit American against American, while he and his party willfully ignore the next September 11th attack.
