FROM THE TCI WIRE:

A lot to cover today. Let's start with Jamaal Bowman.

I don't know Jamaal Bowman. I'm sure he's a wonderful person. But watching the attempts to save his seat in Congress? Bewilderment.

Who was this sitting member of Congress and why should I care?

Tomorrow night US President Joe Biden is scheduled to debate Convicted Felon and well known liar Donald Trump. I hope we don't see the behavior on that stage from Joe, hope this is some new Democratic Party fad passed off as 'framing' or whatever.

Jamal is probably a nice person.

But watching the nonsense that I watched -- as a nonvoter (I don't live in his state, let alone district) -- I kept waiting for a coherent story as to why he mattered and I never got that.

Beggars can't be choosers, agreed. And in a fight like this -- a Democratic Party primary -- he needed and probably took any support he could get.

That's fine for the voting booth, that's not good for get out the vote.

So the first mistake his campaign made was in the selection of some of the mouth boxes they threw in front of the cameras.

Here's tip one: Voters don't usually go for painted up whores. If you're a member of Congress trying to support another member of Congress, minimize the make up. That's especially true if you're wearing false eye lashes and even more so if those lashes are opening and closing repeatedly every time you speak. Do you think anyone's listening to you when you can't stop batting your eyes with those two to three inch eye lashes on? They're not. They're laughing at you at worst. The kinder ones are just distracted and maybe wondering if thick false eye lashes make it harder for you keep your eyes open.

Here's tip two (and see Marica's "The bald idiot needs to let someone else speak publicly"), you are trying to get them on the side of the person you're supporting. Stop yelling at them. It's one thing to be enraged about possible policy ramifications if the candidate you're supporting doesn't win. But you push people away when you're just yelling or hectoring. Nobody wants a big mouth trying to tell them what to do.

In fact, we could go on and on but we have a lot to cover so let's just sum the tips above and about 15 more I had as: Watch what Ayanna Pressley did and don't do that. Any member of The Squad could have done a better job than Pressley did.

Ilhan Omar, for example, invites you into a conversation when she's advocating for someone or some issue. Pressley, from the opening, leaves you off put.

Again, I don't know Jamaal. More importantly, after weeks of his defenders taking to the media and YOUTUBE (I'm not referring to podcasters offering analysis, I'm referring to guests on those shows who were supposedly advocating on his behalf), I still don't know him.

AIPAC is awful and shouldn't be allowed to be involved in US races. No foreign money should be allowed period. And that's something people could have supported. Israel sticking its nose in a US district election? No one wants that anymore than they want France or China or even the UK flooding our 'home' elections.

So you could have made that a strategy. When AIPAC was raised, I understood what they were getting at but don't think most listening would. They needed to make that a strong point and they needed to make it an easy to understand point.

But they failed at that.

Just like they failed to tell us his record and failed to let us know his plans for the future.

AIPAC defined him as unworthy and all his supporters that spoke to the media did was say, "Oh, but he's a good guy."

That's not how you fight.

Andrew Solender (AXIOS) notes:

AIPAC spent at least $14.5 million on anti-Bowman ads through its PAC, United Democracy Project, as of June 20, according to Federal Election Commission filings.
Much of the spending came after a poll in March from pro-Israel group Democratic Majority for Israel showed Bowman trailing by 17 points.
Bowman has emerged as one of Congress' most vocal critics of Israel in recent years, with Latimer running as a pro-Israel alternative in the heavily Jewish, affluent suburban district.

Now with all the money that was spent to defeat Jamaal, there's a good chance it wouldn't have mattered what he or his supporters did.

And the AXIOS article notes, "Said another Democrat more bluntly: 'AIPAC didn't pull a fire alarm. AIPAC didn't speculate about 9/11'." Yeah, he had baggage.

But that could have been defeated or at least strongly challenged and it wasn't. I have no idea what he plans next. He could run as an independent in this cycle. And he could win. I never would have thought when Ned Lamont defeated the awful Joe Lieberman in the Democratic Party that this country would have to endure Lieberman in the Senate again. But he managed to pull off a miracle. Bowman could do the same. If he's planning that or if anyone else is being targeted by AIPAC, they need to make AIPAC the target.

"I'm trying to work for you" is the appeal to the voters "while this mega rich lobbyist group wants me out to install someone who will work on behalf of a foreign government. Local politics does not translate as 'whatever Israel wants'."

In terms of Thursday night, Joe Biden better explain what needs to be done and better stress that it's about making America all it can be for all Americans. He better bring us into the dream he has for this country. The media spokespeople Bowman had did not do that for Jamaal.

Jake Johnson (COMMON DREAMS) notes:

Progressive Rep. Jamaal Bowman lost his reelection bid in New York's 16th Congressional District on Tuesday to an establishment-backed county official whose campaign was propelled by nearly $15 million in spending by AIPAC's Republican-funded super PAC.

The United Democracy Project's (UDP) spending made the Democratic primary contest the most expensive House race in U.S. history. According to a Sludgeanalysis of independent election expenditures dating back to 2001, UDP's $14.5 million onslaught to oust Bowman was "more than any other group besides those affiliated with a political party has ever spent on a House election."

The investment paid off, with Westchester County Executive George Latimer leading Bowman by a margin of 58% to 42% with close to 90% of the vote counted in the 16th District, which was redrawn ahead of the 2022 midterms to include more of suburban Westchester County and less of the Bronx.

Bowman, a former Bronx middle school principal who won his House seat in 2020 by defeating AIPAC favorite Eliot Engel, said in his concession speech late Tuesday that "we should be outraged when a super PAC of dark money can spend $20 million to brainwash people into believing something that isn't true."

Hunter Biden can't stop disgracing the country or his father

BULLY BOY PRESS & CEDRIC'S BIG MIX & THOMAS FRIEDMAN IS A GREAT MAN & ANN'S MEGA DUB & THE WORLD TODAY JUST NUTS & THE COMMON ILLS -- THE KOOL AID TABLE

FIRST FELON HUNTER BIDEN CONTINUES TO EMBARRASS HIS FAMILY AND THE COUNTRY. EARLIER THIS MONTH, THE JUNIOR BIDEN WAS IN COURT AND ENDED UP CONVICTED ON THREE GUN COUNTS -- ALL FELONIES. INSTEAD OF TAKING HIS MEDICINE, HUNTER HAS PROVEN TO BE AS IMMATURE AND SPOILED AS HE'S BEEN FOR HIS PREVIOUS 50 YEARS.

HE'S CONVICTED. IN A COURT OF LAW. BY A JURY OF HIS PEERS.

INSTEAD OF ACCEPTING HIS PUNISHMENT, THE DRUG ADDICT -- WHO HOPEFULLY IS NOT CURRENTLY ACTIVE IN HIS DISEASE -- REFUSES TO TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY. HUNTER IS NOW ATTEMPTING TO ARGUE THAT HE'S A GUN RIGHTS NUT AND HIS GUN RIGHTS WERE ABUSED AND MOLESTED.

REACHED FOR COMMENT, HUNTER TOLD THESE REPORTERS -- MUST CREDIT BULLY BOY PRESS & CEDRIC'S BIG MIX & THOMAS FRIEDMAN IS A GREAT MAN & ANN'S MEGA DUB & THE WORLD TODAY JUST NUTS & THE COMMON ILLS -- THE KOOL AID TABLE -- THAT HE DIDN'T "CARE ABOUT WHAT THIS DOES TO MY FATHER OR TO HIS ELECTION CHANCES. IT'S ALL ABOUT ME, ALWAYS. ALWAYS ABOUT HUNTER. NO ONE MATTERS MORE THAN ME -- NOT THE COUNTRY, NOT MY FATHER, NO ONE. AND IF DADDY DOESN'T LET ME HAVE MY WAY -- WITH ANOTHER TRIAL OR A PRESIDENTIAL PARDON -- I'M GOING TO THROW THE BIGGEST SCREAMING TANTRUM ANYONE HAS EVER SEEN. I'LL TAKE DOWN THE ENTIRE GOVERNMENT. I WILL. I WILL. I PROMISE."

FROM THE TCI WIRE:

Starting with children, Edward Carver (COMMON DREAMS) reports:

A 42-year-old white woman has been charged with attempted murder and injury to a child following her attempt to drown a 3-year-old Palestinian-American in the pool of a Euless, Texas apartment complex last month, according toCNN and other media outlets.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the largest civil rights and advocacy group in the United States, called for a hate crime investigation at a press conference Saturday and warned that the incident was part of an alarming increase in anti-Muslim hate since the war in Gaza began in October.

"My country is facing a war, and we are facing that hate here," the 3-year-old's mother, identified only as Mrs. H. due to safety concerns, said in a statement from CAIR's Texas chapter. "My daughter is traumatized. Whenever I open the apartment door, she runs away and hides, telling me she is afraid the lady will come and immerse her head in the water again."

According to CAIR's account and media reports of the May 19 incident, Elizabeth Wolf, a 42-year-old white woman, allegedly approached Mrs. H. making racist interrogations about what country the family was from and the foreign language they were speaking. Mrs. H., a 32-year-old Palestinian-American woman, was wearing a hijab as she watched her two children play in the shallow end of the pool.

Wolf jumped into the pool and tried to drag the two children to the deep end. The elder of the two escaped, but Wolf allegedly held the 3-year-old child's head underwater. When Mrs. H. tried to intercede, Wolf allegedly took the hijab and tried to beat Mrs. H. with it, and also kicked her to keep her away as she attacked the child. A man then rescued the child.

Wolf was initially arrested for public intoxication and was released on bond the next day. She has since been charged with attempted murder and injury to a child, according toCNN. Wolf has again been released on bail after paying at least $40,000 in bond fees.

Staying on the topic of children, this morning the aid charity Save The Children notes:

At least 10,000 people are reported missing under the rubble, presumed dead. Children are reported to make up 43% of total casualties in this devastating war.

So, it’s reasonable to estimate that at least 5,160 children are dead under the rubble.

As of February, an estimated 17,000 children were unaccompanied and separated from their families. This number is likely much higher now, with our team in Gaza finding more unaccompanied children every day.

Furthermore, the bodies of children have been among those recently found in mass graves with many showing signs of torture.

The UN has also raised the alarm about the mass detention of possibly thousands of people, including children, reporting cases of ill-treatment in detention by Israeli forces.

On the topic of children, in Thursday's "Iraq snapshot," we noted Jonathan S. Tobin's lie that children were not starving in Gaza -- a lie that THE NEW YORK POST attempted to multiply on Friday. Sunday, ALJAZEERA noted, "Two more babies have died from malnutrition at Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, bringing the known death toll from hunger and thirst to 31, health officials say." But these children apparently never existed in the eyes of Tobin or THE NEW YORK POST. In the real world, NDTV notes:

Gaza's hunger crisis is also a product of war. The Israeli military invaded the Strip in response to the Oct. 7 cross-border assault by Hamas on Israel. More than 37,000 Palestinians and nearly 1,500 Israelis have been killed since then, Gazan and Israeli tallies show.

The Israeli assault has destroyed swathes of Gazan farmland. In the early days of the war, Israel imposed a total blockade on Gaza. It later allowed some humanitarian supplies to enter but is still facing international calls to let in more.

The International Criminal Court's prosecutor, in seeking arrest warrants for Israeli and Hamas leaders, last month accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Yoav Gallant of using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare, among other alleged crimes. Netanyahu, calling that move "a moral outrage of historic proportions," said Israel is fighting in full compliance with international law and taking unprecedented measures to ensure aid reaches those in need.
