Whoopsie for those mayors running for President. Hm. So they look at how you run your city? Not fair, huh?


Count Cory Booker in the former mayor running for President. He resided over Newark NJ, not exactly a garden spot on the east coast and according to this article a mixed perception on what and why he accomplished what he did during his term.

"Since O'Neill was dispatched to a 'suspicious person' call, his lights and sirens were not activated in order to avoid scaring off the individual, officials say.

O'Neill told investigators he saw person whose body was half-outside a Hondra CRV in the apartment complex parking lot. That's when he reportedly got out of his squad car and asked the person if he was the vehicle owner. The person, later identified as Eric J. Logan, responded he was the owner.

Sgt. O'Neill also noticed the man had a purse wedged in his clothing and was holding a 6-8 in.-long knife in his right hand. This is when O'Neill told investigators he retreated and told the man several times to drop the weapon.

The man allegedly refused, approaching the officer while raising the knife. Sgt. O'Neill told detectives he was nearly backed up against his squad car, roughly 7.5 feet away from the man, when he fired two gunshots. One went through the Honda CRV while the other hit Eric Logan in the abdomen.

When the shooting happened, O'Neill told police Logan remained standing. The officer said he was then cut by the knife Logan had been holding. Prosecutor Cotter said it's unclear if Logan intentionally threw the knife or if he released it due to being shot.

Cotter further said the knife found at the shooting was taken from a vehicle on Taylor Street. The owner of the tactical knife has identified it as his.

The purse was taken from a different vehicle and also was identified by its owner.

I wonder how much of this discontent with Buttigieg is due to the black community’s turning on to Trump?

“...Others asked, “Are you a racist?”...”

Being asked that, in a room full of racists.

One has to chuckle...

It is difficult to pander to people who will always have their hands out for more.

Very True. The hardcore black Democrat base has a bone deep (and totally unwarranted) sense of entitlement and doesn't want to work for a living. They go around with a chip on their shoulders the size of Texas and are constantly looking for something to be offended by. It's impossible to please these people because no matter what they're given they always want more. So the answer is to give them nothing and tell them to get stuffed. Something no Democrat politician is ever going to do.

According to OH Representative Marcia Black, Mayor Pete has a “Fudge problem”

B*ttplug looked like the typical 90 pound weakling cowering behind a microphone, the exact opposite of being presidential.

Mean Little Pete will not recover from this. The Black Lives Matter thugs are out to get him and they will win.

I will be standing by for the POTUS, Trump comments on “Twitter” on Wednesday and Thursday evenings.

That should be a hoot.

Do you know whether Mayor Pete will be in the “kiddie table” debate or did he make it to the main one?

But these competitions for victimology status often do not end well.

So true. if the Americans could only stay upwind of the propagandist's fanned flames of victimology of the collective.

Sounds like Mr. Logan was a walking crime spree.

Still, too bad about the gunshot which struck the innocent Honda CRV . . .

Too late. Already been derailed. Traditionally, they don’t like gays anyway.

The report at WNDU says it was a “Hondra” CRV, very rare...

So I think it might be accurate to say the Mayor is a little light in the loafers.
