Democrat convention star: Wikileaks emails

=&0=&=&1=&

You can’t dress up an email and have it dance around a guarded walled off stage but if you could…
Hillary Clinton certainly wouldn’t but had to live with it even as she appeared on 60 minutes over the weekend denying any knowledge about the Wikileaks DNC emails.

The email revelations or at least some of them began appearing on a Bernie Sanders Reddit page from among approximately 20,000. Staffers contemplated using Sanders religion or was it his alleged lack of belief to southern Democrats among other less than comforting political strategies to see him undone. Read More...

Dem convention theme song scratches, “Wiki Wiki Wiki, Wiki Wiki Wiki Wiki”

Wikileaks releases thousands of emails obtained in a hack of the Democratic National Committee

As the conventions are running quite literally back to back, Philadelphia will be the epicenter of the Democrat’s convention which is literally being walled off from the hordes of Bernie Sanders protesters who made an appearance there in a peaceful march yesterday.

The march saw a now familiar refrain saying of the pending Democrat nominee, “Lock her up!”

That’s only the beginning of what many reports are saying is a pivot from the carefully staged coronation as more problems surface in thousands of stolen emails released and obtained in a hack from the Democratic National Committee (DNC). Read More...

Going suicide bomber in Cleveland

So there’s a national convention going on and the concerns about violence to Cleveland have failed to materialize. To this point, only a single communist burned an American flag leading to minor pushing and shoving. Oh and there was some fringe religious group who mixed it up with Black Lives Matter members with reports of bags of urine flung around.

Last night, Ted Cruz took to the stage and blew himself up in a pique of political ambition. It will be remembered and discussed in political science classes for some time under the chapter, how to commit political suicide on national television. One of the unique aspects to this election cycle is the revelations on both the system and the political characters who seek to uphold the status quo. It’s been quite revealing. You just have to pay attention, a little.  Here’s Ted Cruz getting booed off the stage.

Earlier Laura Ingraham gave a speech and tweaked “the boys” who can’t get over themselves.
It was quite predictive and she was certainly well received by the convention attendees. Read More...

Mister Carmelo & the Feds

Since the summer of 2013, he’s been trying to find a path to a pot of gold after a contract in the Hoboken Housing Authority was terminated. He accepted the loot that came with an early termination option in the contract and promptly cashed the check.

Then he came back hungry for more. This time it’s the regurgitation of his “Ethnic Cleaning” civil suit in federal court.

Based on yesterday’s report on Grafix Avenger, strike up the old Elton John tune “Bennie and the Jets” and insert “Carmelo and the Feds.” Many have been awaiting action by a different federal agency. Read More...

Some good news on pending Park Avenue Bridge construction

Via twitter, Mayor Dawn Zimmer yesterday wrote when the work resumes on the Park Avenue Bridge, the impact will be lessened on Hoboken.

Talking Ed Note: New Jersey has suspended infrastructure projects around the state. A push to raise taxes surprisingly deadlocked bringing an order to halt.

Rest assured, soon enough taxes will be raised, gas being one target and normalcy with the Soprano State sitting atop as one of the highest taxed in states in the country assured.

“I swear to God I love this city but I wonder if this city loves me.”

Not long before his murder yesterday in Baton Rouge, police officer Montrell Jackson wrote on his Facebook page, “I swear to God I love this city but I wonder if this city loves me.” Yesterday his life was taken by alleged suspect Gavin Long, who killed two other police officers and injured several more before he himself was killed.

A press conference held in Baton Rouge with local, state and law enforcement officials asked for the nation’s prayers.

Montrell Jackson, a Baton Rouge police officer who had his life
taken yesterday recently wrote, “If you need a hug, I got you.”
He is survived by his wife and four children.

The alleged murderer is a former Nation of Islam member and in a video talked about his “principles” and said of the murders committed by Micah Johnson in Dallas, “It’s justice. You know what I’m saying.”

Others are celebrating online and justifying the murders such as a ThinkProgress editor saying it’s “no surprise” some are “taking justice into their own hands.”

Both major party conventions are set for this week and next.  There’s been reports leading up to the Republican convention in Cleveland this week there’s thousands of “protestors” paid to descend on the city.  Read More...

Sizing up the showdown

Some have said the mayoral election set for next year is already underway. While not visible to the public, there’s some validity to the mid-summer assessment.

At least two candidates appear ready to lock horns Hoboken style for the big chair on the second floor at City Hall.

One candidate has been in perpetual motion since winning a third term as Hudson County freeholder and the incumbent is poised to go all in for ride number three in the big chair.

It’s an end of the week MSV Premium in the works. Read More...
