Schumer’s strategy unravels
American Thinker ^ | 29 Jun, 2026 | Bill Ponton

The remaining Old Guard Democrats should understand that the forces that they have paired with not only seek our destruction, but theirs too.

Other than self-loathsome, what would you call Chuck Schumer who coddles Ilhan Omar and courts Zohran Mamdami while both call for the eradication of Israel? The contempt that the youth wing of the Democrat party and the whole of the DSA show for Israel is no longer hidden. It is out in the open—huge and hideous. Yet Schumer and others in his party think that they can ignore, or even co-opt the beast. Of all the Democrats, only Fetterman is willing to state the obvious, that feeding the crocodile has not made it go away. In fact, appeasement has emboldened it.

A good example of that is what happened to Congressman Dan Goldman recently. I am not referring to him losing his congressional primary election to DSA commie, Brad Lander. I am referring to Goldman being savaged by Parviz Mukhamadkulov, the owner of the Poetica coffee shops in Brooklyn, after he stopped into Poetica so his 7-yr-old daughter could use the bathroom. In a tweet subsequently removed, Parviz wrote, “[W]e don’t serve racists, fascists, homophobes, genocide enablers. or anyone in between.. Too bad we didn’t recognize you right away, or we would have turned you away.”

The Poetica website proudly speaks of the Uzbek tradition of its founder that carries obligations. The website states, “When a guest arrives, the entire neighborhood organizes. Tea and bread before questions. A seat before an invitation. The guest is sacred because the act of welcoming is how a community keeps itself intact.” Apparently that Uzbek tradition of showing hospitality toward a guest is trumped by a more deeply rooted Muslim tradition of hating the Jew.

But like Schumer, Goldman is not

Did Schumer think he would escape the revolution he stoked?

Schumer has been feeding the monsters, hoping they will eat him last.

So, it’s definitely going to be an evil party where straight whites are not allowed. So be it.

There was a thread the other day titled FR LINK: James Carville calls for formal Democratic party divide after far-left Mamdani-backed candidates sweep primaries and I posted this:
It’s too late, you stupid douche canoe.

Wow.

The irony is that if they ever do get their rat-claws on the levers of power (which is possible) when they line knuckle-dragging conservative nose breathers up for either a ticket to the Gulag or a bullet to the neck which your family will get a bill for, you just skipped to the front of the line.

Like their Muslim pals, there is nobody they wish to disappear faster, and with more prejudice than an apostate. Us, they will make us wait. Heck, that’s half the fun for them.

But you? First class ticket to the front of the line!

And as they drag you away, you will be kicking your legs and screaming at the top of your lungs: “Why are you doing this? I’m on your side!”

As you said, they stoked this. They fed that hateful coal into that hopper that spit out douchebags like AOC and all these other Marxist candidates. They wanted to ride that tiger to power and control.

The only problem with riding a tiger is that you can never get off of its back, lest it eat you as well. Welcome to that conundrum, Shmuckie.

Daniel Sachs Goldman (born February 26, 1976) is an American politician and lawyer serving as the U.S. representative for New York’s 10th congressional district since 2023. He is a member of the Democratic Party.

Goldman was first elected to Congress in 2022. In 2019, he served as lead majority counsel in the first impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump, and lead counsel to House Managers in Trump’s impeachment trial. He was reelected in 2024. In 2026, Goldman lost re-nomination in the Democratic primary to former New York City comptroller Brad Lander.

Goldman was born in Washington, D.C., to Susan (née Sachs) and Richard W. Goldman. His father was a federal prosecutor in Washington, D.C., who died when Goldman was a child. His paternal grandparents were Rhoda Haas Goldman and Richard Goldman; his great-grandfather was Walter A. Haas, president of Levi Strauss & Co. His great-great-grandfather was Abraham Haas, the founder of the Smart & Final chain of food stores.

Goldman attended Sidwell Friends School in Washington D.C, where his mother previously served as chair of the board. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in history from Yale University in 1998 and a Juris Doctor degree with distinction from Stanford Law School in 2005.

From 2007 to 2017, Goldman was an assistant United States attorney in the Southern District of New York under Preet Bharara. He prosecuted Russian organized crime, Genovese crime family mobsters, including Fotios Geas, who murdered Whitey Bulger while in prison, and a variety of white-collar crime and securities fraud.

Goldman was hired as Senior Advisor and Director of Investigations for the House Intelligence Committee in February 2019 and later became the lead counsel for the first impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump.

On November 16, 2021, Goldman announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for attorney general of New York in the 2022 election. When incumbent Letitia James ended her campaign for governor in December and opted to run for reelection, Goldman withdrew and endorsed James.

On June 1, 2022, Goldman announced his candidacy for United States Congress in New York’s 10th district. A July 14 poll by Data for Progress indicated Goldman had 12% of support, behind Councilwoman Carlina Rivera’s 17% and Assemblywoman Yuh-Line Niou’s 14% in the crowded Democratic primary, which also included incumbent congressman Mondaire Jones and former congresswoman Elizabeth Holtzman. An internal poll conducted between July 22 and 26 showed Goldman leading the race with 18% of support, followed by Niou with 16% and Rivera with 14%.

Goldman’s financial disclosures indicate he has a line of credit from Goldman Sachs worth up to $50 million in addition to investments in weapons manufacturer Sturm, Ruger & Co., defense contractors Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman, oil companies Chevron, ExxonMobil and Halliburton, and Rupert Murdoch’s Fox Corporation and News Corp. Goldman’s campaign said he will put his assets into a blind trust if elected and that he is no longer invested in Sturm, Ruger & Co. He narrowly won the Democratic nomination in the crowded primary, receiving 16,686 votes (25.8%). He won the general election against Republican nominee Benine Hamdan with 83.9% of the vote.

Goldman ran for reelection in 2024. He won renomination in the Democratic primary with 66.1% of the vote against Evan Hutchison and Bruno Grandsard.

He was reelected in the general election against Republican Alex Dodenhoff with 82.3% of the vote.

On June 23, Lander defeated Goldman in a landslide in the Democratic primary for the 10th district. Goldman retained the support of House leadership, governor Kathy Hochul, and labor, but Lander was endorsed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, U.S. Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, and many local elected officials. Lander criticized Goldman’s position on the Gaza war and his refusal to call it a genocide, as well as his relationship with AIPAC, the pro-Israel lobbying organization that also backs conservative Republicans.

Goldman has said he believes abortion is a health-care decision that “should be made between an individual and their doctor”. He drew significant backlash and criticism when he revealed support for abortion restrictions, and said he would not object to a state law barring abortion after a fetus is considered viable. He said in the same interview that his personal views on abortion are secondary to the right of a woman to choose.

In June 2023, Goldman and Congresswoman Judy Chu led more than 50 lawmakers in pressing Walmart, Costco, Kroger, and other major American pharmacies to sell the abortion pill, mifepristone. In July, Goldman called the Supreme Court decision Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade, “one of the very worst opinions that the Supreme Court has ever issued on both a legal and factual basis”.

Goldman accused the President Donald Trump of “inflammatory rhetoric”, and stated that Trump is “destructive to democracy” and “has to be eliminated”. After backlash from conservatives, Goldman said “eliminate” was a wrong term

Goldman supports increasing the national minimum wage, universal child care, and paid family leave. He supports promoting business development, and requiring corporations to pay their fair share to “increase opportunity for all Americans”.

Goldman said that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine threatens Ukraine’s sovereignty, international order, and democracy globally. He is in favor of U.S. aid to Ukraine and sanctions on Russia.

In 2023, Goldman voted against H.Con.Res. 21, which directed President Joe Biden to remove U.S. troops from Syria within 180 days.

In 2026, he said, “I think I have a very progressive approach to Israel, and to my support for the U.S.-Israel relationship.” Goldman has said he supports a two-state solution to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.

Goldman opposes the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, calling it a “thinly-veiled demonstration of antisemitism”. He voted to support Israel after the October 7 attacks. Goldman voted to censure Representative Rashida Tlaib for her use of the phrase “from the river to the sea”. In 2024, he signed an open letter expressing “disgust” at South Africa’s case at the International Court of Justice charging Israel with intent to commit genocide in Gaza. He has refused to call Israel’s actions in Gaza a genocide, and does not support the Block the Bombs Act.

In 2025, Goldman did not endorse Democratic nominee for Mayor of New York Zohran Mamdani or any of his opponents. Goldman said Mamdani never “fully got there” in regard to denouncing antisemitism.

During his 2022 campaign, Goldman said that he believes healthcare is a fundamental right and supported a public option in addition to private health insurance, while opposing Medicare for All. Later in 2023, he co-sponsored the Medicare for All Act in Congress.

Goldman supports “public–private partnerships” to combat New York City’s lack of affordable housing. He supports construction by private real estate developers, fully funding NYCHA, and allocating federal dollars for private firms to update and manage properties NYCHA owns.

Goldman opposes expanding the Supreme Court of the United States.

Goldman supports passing the Equality Act to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity. In response to a questionnaire from the Jim Owles Liberal Democratic Club, he said he had never, until 2022, marched in an LGBTQ Pride parade because his work as a federal prosecutor prevented him from doing so.

Goldman has married twice. In 2002, he married Olympic diver and lawyer Anne Montminy; she is from Montreal. They divorced in 2008,[89] after having two children. In 2013, he married Corinne Goldman (née Levy); they have three children. Goldman and Corrine met at an AIPAC event in 2012.

Goldman is among the wealthiest members of Congress, with an estimated personal net worth of up to $253 million according to financial disclosure forms.

Lander earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Chicago in 1991, where he received a Harry S. Truman Scholarship and joined the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).

From 1993 to 2003, Lander was the executive director of the Fifth Avenue Committee (FAC), a Park Slope nonprofit organization that develops and manages affordable housing.

Lander’s work in 2003–2005 on Greenpoint-Williamsburg rezoning led to the first New York City inclusionary housing program to create affordable housing in new development outside Manhattan. Lander served on a mayoral taskforce that recommended reforms to the 421-a tax exemption for luxury housing and required that new development in certain areas of the city set aside affordable housing units.

In 2022, Lander called for ending 421a, a program that provided tax incentives for developers of market-rate apartments who also added below-market rentals. According to the New York Times, at the time it was “the most generous property tax break in the city, costing New York City about $1.77 billion annually in lost tax revenue”. Lander and other critics described it as a subsidy for developers in exchange for few low-income units

In June 2025, as Donald Trump increased deportations of immigrants, Lander began accompanying defendants to immigration hearings. On June 17, Lander was arrested and handcuffed by masked Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials at an immigration court while linking arms with a person ICE was trying to detain. The reason given for the arrest was “assaulting law enforcement and impeding a federal officer”, according to Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin. Lander was released and said he “certainly did not” assault an officer. The arrest was quickly condemned by an array of Democratic politicians from the state, including New York State Governor Kathy Hochul, who called it “bullshit”, NYS Attorney General Letitia James, who called it a “shocking abuse of power” and “grotesque escalation of tensions”, and U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who called it “political intimidation”.

Lander was arrested by DHS again on September 18, along with State Senators Jabari Brisport, Gustavo Rivera and Julia Salazar, and Assemblymembers Robert Carroll, Emily Gallagher, Jessica González-Rojas, Marcela Mitaynes, Steven Raga, Tony Simone, and Claire Valdez, while trying to access ICE detention cells and protest the detentions at the Jacob K. Javits Federal Building. In a two-day bench trial in June 2026, Lander was found not guilty of obstructing officers’ access to an elevator.

In July 2024, Lander announced he would challenge incumbent Mayor Eric Adams in the 2025 New York City mayoral election

On June 12, 2025, The New York Times Opinion panel chose Lander as its top choice for the Democratic primary for mayor.

As part of the #TooHotToLearn campaign, Lander led the push to secure air conditioning for all New York City Public Schools classrooms, shining a spotlight on the 25 percent of classrooms that lacked it.

Since 2019, Lander has drawn criticism and, in his words, “anger” and “suspicion”, for vocally supporting contracts for two homeless shelters in particular. Opponents of the shelters claimed that the contracts contain up to $89 million of unexplained cost compared to contracts for equivalent shelters, and that costs were too high at $10,557 per unit per month.

Democrats seem to always end up eating their own. Note to Republicans: Never interfere with an enemy who is in the process of destroying himself.

Reminds me of the old Commie bosses like Trotsky who were later hunted down and executed by later Commies. Ditto for the leaders of the French Revolution and in Indonesia as well.

Turned on by the party he helped to create:

84043-E84-6-D1-A-4-E55-BEBB-C30-EB28-B468-E

"Senator Chuck Schumer got a rude awakening Sunday at the New York City LGBTQ Pride parade when the far-left crowd turned on him, with a loud chorus of boos."
