"Bronx Democrats are counterprogramming Trump's rally with a demonstration of their own at the other end of Crotona Park...."

"Jasmine Harris, the Biden campaign's Black media outreach director, called Trump's rally 'a halfhearted attempt ... to pander for Black and Latino votes,' adding he 'stepped into public life by falsely accusing the Central Park 5 [and] taking the racist birther movement mainstream.'... 10,000 people had signed up to attend the [Trump] rally, a person involved in organizing the event said this week. The Trump campaign has filed a permit for 3,500 people."

I hope it will be a delightful day in the park for people at both ends.

That's a big risk for the Dems, who have so far been unable to generate any excitement. Certainly nothing on the Trump scale.

stepped into public life by falsely accusing the Central Park 5 [and] taking the racist birther movement mainstream.

Four lies in 17 words. Not bad, but with a little effort I think they can do better.

Pretty much says it all, doesn't it.

What better way to do that than organize a massive, stress-releasing "Wall of Death" in the middle?

Party members activating their blackshirt street paramilitary to intimidate, attack, assault and annihilate their political opponents. Communists have been doing this for over a hundred years now.

..."....media outreach director, called Trump's rally 'a halfhearted attempt ... to pander for Black and Latino votes...."

Harris continued, ' now if you compare this to our world-class, full-on pandering goin' on, Joe Biden has spent billions of dollars paying solid money to our students to pull that loan monkey off their back. That's how you pander, if you're going to pander, go all the way and straight-up buy that damn vote!

We know what Biden’s 2016 rallies looked like.

Go get ‘em, P0TATUS Biden. You got this!

mezzrow said...

I guess Trump also has a Black media outreach director, but has the good sense to not use that kind of titular distinction because he would most assuredly be called to task for that kind of racially manipulative focus.

Rally on. Be nice.

Any odds on the counter-protest wandering to the original planned protest to create a riot that can be blamed on Trump?

Original Mike said...

Bronx Democrats will start a big fight and it will be Trump's fault.

Leland: "Any odds on the counter-protest wandering to the original planned protest to create a riot that can be blamed on Trump?"

I'd put those odds at approximately 100% with the probability of an FBI/DOJ directed appearance of the "Proud Boys" (wink wink) at around 75%. The dems desperately need a new Charlottesville "fine people" hoax.

Desperately.

Not all fish can swim in the same aquarium at the same time. Corona Park appears to be the home of the 1964 World's Fair. Someone tell me if I'm wrong about the location.

Mrs. X said...

It’s thunderstorming here in NYC right now. I don’t know how hardy the ralliers or the protestors are. Of course, it could clear up by show time.

Jimmy said...

That classic political phrase, optics comes to my mind. A large Trump crowd, peaceful, happy, and loud, would be terrible PR for the Dems in deep blue NYC.
How many FBI agents should be sent, under what cover, to keep things 'safe' like Jan 6?
Or will it be like 2016,2020, with leftists throwing eggs, or chairs or ? at Trump supporters as they arrive, or leave.
The pro Hamas group is fit and ready to take part I'm sure, and they have become a reliable part of Democrat tactics.

Money Manger said...

Please don’t confuse Crotona Park with Corona. As Paul Simon said, most listeners outside of New York thought Rosie, the Queen of Corona, was just a big fan or the Mexican beer.

Levi Starks said...

None of Bidens pandering to black and Latino voters will be halfhearted.

Howard said...

I'm sure the FBI is going to call off their planned false flag riot operation after they saw that Drago sniffed them out.

Dude1394 said...

Any gathering involving democrats will end in violence instigated by democrats. Democrats are fascist and we now find out Nazis as well.

Darkisland said...

I can't find it now but earlier today I saw a story that said our President Emeritus had held something like 20 rallies/campaign events so far in 24.

In 20 at this point it was over 100

Seems like the lawfare is working. At least to keep his appearances down. Doesn't seem to be hurting his poll numbers.

I'm going to be interested to see how he does in South Bronx.

Nope.

All 7 floors of the FBI building are chock full of W Mark Felts with seemingly unlimited corrupted legacy media contacts so, as with the burying of the obviously legit Hunter Laptop story in 2020, Wray's gaslighting corruptocrats will continue to move forward regardless of what the general populace thinks/believes/knows.

Similar to you Howard in that you are more than happy to toss out obvious serial lies regardless of how much debunking has occurred. The examples are endless.

They are in Crotona Park...Corona Park is indeed the location of the wold's fair but it is in Queens. Now it makes sense...

If most of the media weren't Democratic stenographers, they would ask AOC something like "Do you think that the Trump supporters in your district have a right to support their candidate openly?"

I wonder if our President Emeritus could put Alejandra O'Casey-Cortez seat in play? That would be cool.

Even if he can't win it, make her defend it and work for it.

Jupiter said...

Just remember, to the Central Park Five, a "delightful day in the park" involves assault, robbery and rape.

RMc said...

a halfhearted attempt ... to pander for Black and Latino votes

It must be annoying to watch the opposition pander for Black and Latino votes when you're trying pander for Black and Latino votes.

Jupiter said...

"He's hosting a rally to try to con people " Ocasio-Cortez said.

And she knows a lot about conning people.

Iman said...

Never lose sight, Howard, that it’s not the destination of the thought that’s important.

It’s the journey. You keep it together, slugger!

Static Ping said...

If you have to counterprogram in your own stronghold, things are not going well.

Michelle Dulak Thomson said...

Yeah, the Central Park Five's actual defense was that they couldn't have done the rape, because they were busy bashing a homeless guy somewhere else in the Park at the time. Seriously.

Not that I think the NYPD exactly shone in that incident!

Are you kidding? That's the first group the democrats invited. They're going to find out that the Bronx is much more aligned with Trump than with Biden.

Black media outreach director

Because the media is always his intended object of outreach.

Joe Smith said...

The 'Birther' thing was started by Hillary's folks.

And the Obabma folks did a terrible job of diffusing it.

I worked every day with the software that was used to produce the alleged birth certificate, and they couldn't have tried to do a worse job or stoke conspiracy theories.

Mason G said...

"Jasmine Harris, the Biden campaign's Black media outreach director, called Trump's rally 'a halfhearted attempt ... to pander for Black and Latino votes,'

The leftist described "black media outreach director" whining about pandering for black votes? The jokes just write themselves. Or, they would, at least, if the leftist dominated media had a sense of humor.

Lucien said...

Is a “black media outreach director” a black person who is directing media outreach, or someone directing outreach to “black media”, or someone directing media outreach to black people?

Stray voltage. As that old author bio showed, Obama was not above playing the exotic foreigner so loved by liberals, before he became a po' black chil' growin' up Kansas.

***********************

It would be......nice......... if you backed up that claim with some evidence. What software?

Which birth certificate , the original short "Certificate of Live Birth" Joe Arpaio kept talking about, released by the White House and downladed from the Internet, or the "long form" Hawaiian officials later produced?

(seems to me it has to be the latter, since the short form dated from 1961 and would have been filled out using a typewriter.)

What graphic evidence can you provide to show how bad the resulting bogus certificate was?

WHO is the specific "they" that created the fake birth certificate?

This is plowing old ground, but you made the claim, so....

Tom T. said...

The Democrats may not have figured on the possibility that reducing Trump's appearances would actually raise his poll numbers. His base is in the bag, and the people crossing over are doing it based on dislike of Biden and memories of better times, not because of anything Trump is currently saying. Letting him talk more may just increase the chance that he'll say something that drives away those new voters.

NKP said...

Charlottesville redux. I hope Trump warns supporters to not take the bait. And, I hope he's arranged for video documentation.

Michael K said...

Troll watch. We all know how badly the Obama people handled that story which was a Hillary invention based on an Obama error in his novel, "Dreams from my father."

JK Brown said...

It is good to see the people of the Bronx get actual effort by the candidates. Bad for Biden to have to spend the cash to defend votes on what Democrats have long considered their own plantation.

In a different area, Powerline had a chart and a comment that the criteria for Biden's student loan transfer to the non-college workers is that the students' loan before a low-economic return field of study, fine arts and education, for example. My thought was, odd the college edumedicated are considered the bulwark of Democrat/Biden support yet here they are having to buy their votes.

We need more of this, not less. Take the fight into their nepotistic ponzied little echo chambers. Make them feel like they're under attack in the very places they've worked for decades to keep power and those seeking legal and fiduciary responsibility out.

Crush your liberals. See them driven before you. And hear the lamentations of the Karens. It is what is best in life.

Tell us more about the 1983 Beirut bombing. You've only mentioned that one about a hundred times...as if the sum total of all your historical recollections revolve around that one event...and no others.

Joe Smith said...

'It would be......nice......... if you backed up that claim with some evidence. What software?'

My job isn't to make your life easier.

PDFs are an Adobe product. If the BC was opened in a professional version of Adobe Illustrator there were multiple layers to the file.

When a page is scanned and saved as a PDF, there is usually a single layer. The file is 'flat.'

My personal opinion is that Obama was born in Hawaii. Whoever scanned the BC did such a terrible job that they invited conspiracy theories by their negligence.

But I also believe that Obama faked and/or lied about his citizenship on college admissions. I think he was enamored with the foreign/exotic Kenyan angle and thought it would give him a leg up in admissions.

There is a reason why he sealed all of his college records as president.

Yancey Ward said...

Howard mentions that all the time because that is where he might have ended up dead had he actually been a marine.

Looked like a decent crowd. Not yuge, but bigger than the counter protest.

"I heard that there was a 3,500 person limit by permit, so it was limited..."

Limited. Unlike the "mostly peaceful" protests held in various places around the country where buildings were burned down and businesses destroyed. I wonder why those events were allowed without a permit or limits.

No, I don't.

In his Bronx speech, Trump emphasized the importance of momentum in business.

He’s demonstrating the importance of momentum in national politics.
