"Creepy"

[H2O Man]

"I don't know if I like communism, and I don't know if I like socialism. But I know that the Breakfast for Children Program feeds my kids. And if you put your hands on that Breakfast for Children Program …..”
Fred Hampton (8-30-48 to 12-4-69)

If I had one recommendation for young people today, it would be to study Fred Hampton. In 1967, the FBI deemed him a radical threat to the country. Note that in Chicago, he had created the Rainbow Coalition, a multi-racial group that recognized fascism and economic warfare as the primary threat to low-income and middle class communities. Thus, law enforcement brutally murdered him on this date in 1969.

Hampton recognized that positive actions needed to accompany bold speaking. Thus, he knew the Breakfast for Children Program was essential. Thus, I think his legacy should serve as food for thought for all of us. This is not because, as an old man, I am stuck in the past. The exact opposite, because there are children without enough food for a healthy diet, I am focused upon the future.


“They are doing something to you because they feel threatened in some way by your existence.”
Nur Omar Mohamad to his daughter Ilhan Omar

The above quote was a father's understanding of why some individuals were cruel to his daughter in school. His daughter went on to become an advocate for children having nutritious food in her state. She became more politically active. At a precinct caucus she organized in 2014, she was assaulted by a group of five people, suffering a concussion. It required her going to the hospital.

Then she became a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. Since then, she has become a favorite target of the felon and his cult. I think her description of the felon's obsession with her as “creepy” is right on target. The Social Science Research Council has stated that Rep. Omar is the primary target in DC for internet hate speech. The brain-dead are convinced she is trying to impose Shariah law in this country, failing to grasp their hero is both lawless and sending federal troops to American cities to inflict fear and injuries to the public.

Two maga-ites running in her district said Rep. Omar should be hung. There have been people arrested for threats against her life. In recent days, the felon has been stirring the pot of ignorance and hatred, resulting in yet another increase in threats. He wants someone – or group – to kill her. My concern is less with the idiots who make threats on the telephone and/or internet, than with the quiet, capable, extremely sick individuals who might think it their duty to their president.

Thus, if you have a couple bucks, I encourage you to donate to Rep. Omar, as she has to pay for increased security at this tense time.

1. Ilhan Omar is my rep. In her first term she was a bit politically clumsy and I had some doubts,

but now she's found her footing and has been showing great courage standing up to MAGA. Brava for her. She deserves the support of all Democrats.

And, by the way, the Somali community in my city contributes positively in many ways, and they are no more "criminal" than any other group. There is something of a local scandal arising from the fraudulent use of government covid-relief funds intended for a children's charity, and many of the participants in the fraud were Somali (though the mastermind was a White woman). But you don't condemn an entire group (about 80,000 people) for the bad acts of a couple dozen. And it's pretty damn ballsy for Trump to complain about this scam considering that his own family foundation was fined and banned from doing business in NY for disbursing money to the family and the campaign that was supposed to be paid to charities. And the claim that Somali criminal gangs are terrorizing Minneapolis is a bald-faced lie. I see Somali people every day, doing regular things, going about their business, taking their kids to school. Trump's racist remarks were outrageous. But what else is new?

3. Absolutely!

I think that "a bit politically clumsy" is accurate. There were unforced errors. No question about that. I do think that she has learned from such mistakes, and recognizes that the corporate media will pounce on such things. As she has taken to the roles she plays -- a non-white female who is both articulate and elegant -- some will appreciate her, while others will listen to a president that I am convinced eats cats and dogs. I think the felon actually ate a rabid road-kill canine, and that explains his current behavior.

Exactly as you said, this racist crap is nothing new for the felon. He is the most dangerous criminal in the US today.

7. Thank you!

I think we need to step up and make a statement & take action when one of our own is being threatened by low-lifes. And that is what the felon-in-chief is: a cowardly low-life. A scum. Yet there are jackals that follow his call.

8. Trump thrills at the thought of people acting on his words. He delights in it. He's a dangerous man.

As are his followers.

9. I remember

The murder of Fred Hampton. What an end to a bloody decade.
Yes I will donate to Rep Omar’s security.
