Westchester County Executive George Latimer has broad support among the residents of lower Westchester County who have known him to be a tireless advocate for decades. They have adorned their lawns with signs showing their support in his congressional race in New York’s 16th Congressional District which has a Democratic primary on June 25.
But the Latimer signs keep disappearing.
All over White Plains, people are taking down signs for George Latimer, whether they are one feet or ten feet from the curb.
Residents have been taking pictures using cameras as well as capturing stills from video surveillance of people climbing onto lawns and pulling out signs. Seemingly, some of the people removing signs have been from the White Plains Code of Enforcement.
According to a representative in the department, they remove signs when they are located in the city’s “right of way” which can be up to eight feet from the curb.
But the city is doing this very selectively, leaving non-political signs up while taking away George Latimer signs.

Some Latimer supporters have had signs taken multiple times and are resorting to nailing their signs onto trees.

The White Plains Code of Enforcement (914) 422-1208, said that they placed all of the removed Latimer signs in the Recycling Center at 85 Gedney Way, but they would not explain why they left so many other non-political signs in place.
Are Jamaal Bowman’s supporters robbing constituents of their free speech rights and stealing Latimer signs? Bowman has long proven himself to be an embarrassment and unfit to serve in Congress and his actions continue to draw the ire of the people in the district. Bowman’s supporters are further fueling anger against the unhinged incumbent.
The uptick in antisemitic hate crimes in the United States is at all-time terrifying highs. Since the October 7, 2023 brutal slaughter by Palestinian Arabs from Gaza of roughly 1,200 people in Israel, radical Muslim and far-left socialists have been celebrating the torture of Jews and promising to bring the “intifada” to the streets and campuses of the U.S.
The heinous antisemitism is promoted and supported by alt-left Muslim women in congress like Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) who has called Jews the sinister plotters “behind the curtains” that kill Black and Brown people “from Gaza to Detroit,” and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) who says that there are only two types of Jews: “pro-genocide or anti-genocide.” But The New York Times is trying to defend its own rather than cover the news, so is sticking with a narrative that antisemitism only exists among Republicans.
On the front page of the May 12, 2024 paper, The Times published an article titled “The Antisemitic Tropes Echoed by Republicans.” It continued on with a full two-page spread inside, complete with charts and graphics under the banner “How Republicans Echo Antisemitic Tropes.” Both headlines had sub-headers that were clear that the “declared support for Jews” was a ruse to get their votes.
For good measure, the paper added another article about the Orthodox Jewish governor of Pennsylvania. It made sure to add that he’s “A Rising Pro-Israel Democrat” in the headline.
The Times has long promoted the idea that only White people can really be racists and antisemitic, as other minorities are simply “punching up” and trying to succeed. If a Black preacher like Louis Farrakhan shouts clearly vile antisemitic things, the Democratic establishment says nothing and the Times buries the story, lest Black Americans turn on the party.
Antisemitism is not limited to the Democratic Party but it has become deeply embedded in the left flank “Squad.” Mainstream media is worried that Jews will abandon their comrades in an election year, so is spinning narratives that Jews must stay loyal to the party despite the rot, and keep lunatics like Jamaal Bowman in office.
Jewish Americans see and feel the hatred, as well as the poorly constructed cover-ups by left-wing anti-Jewish and anti-Israel media.
The defenders of free speech on campus are out in force. Far-left members of congress like Ilhan Omar and Jamaal Bowman defend the right of agitators to yell for the genocide of Jews and destruction of the Jewish State as a matter of “uncomfortable speech” that should be allowed. Lawyers debate what crosses the line when calling for killing a group of people generally as being protected speech in public spaces but similar language directed at individuals and/or what could be considered an immediate call for violence, which would be prohibited speech.

One would therefore imagine the free speech advocates easily standing alongside students drawing the Islamic prophet Mohammed on placards around campus, and most definitely, showing Mohammed in art classes, much the way paintings and statues of Jesus, Moses and David are discussed.
But the opposite has been the case.
Professors are being fired or intimidated to not show artwork with Muhammed. In Minnesota, Erika López Prater was fired from her position at Hamline University for showing a 14th-century painting depicting the Prophet Muhammad in a lesson on Islamic art. A student complained that she was upset and that it was blasphemous to show a depiction of the Islamic prophet and got the school to fire the professor. The professor had zero malicious intent and was simply reviewing artwork of religious figures but was nonetheless terminated.
The French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo often lampoons religions and has made cartoons of the Islamic prophet as well. Jihadi radicals were incensed when their prophet was the subject matter, and shot up the company’s offices in 2015. The Islamic killers then shot up a kosher supermarket which had nothing to do with the magazine, simply to kill Jews.
A couple of months later in 2015, Pamela Geller held a “Draw Muhammed contest” in Texas, and two Muslim extremists shot up the event but were themselves killed. Both the Geller and Charlie Hebdo events were lampooning religion and Islam specifically, but covered under American and French ideals of free speech.
It will be an interesting spectacle to watch campuses with anti-Israel protests have counter-protests with Mohammed featured prominently on their placards with such statements like “Would Muhammed endorse Hamas’s rape of women?” and “What would Muhammed say about Hamas’s shooting the elderly?” Will Ilhan Omar rise to the defense of actual peace advocates the way she defends supporters of genocide?
On May 1, 2024, a lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern Division of Virginia by a group of victims of the October 7 Palestinian Arab heinous terrorist attack, against American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) and National Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJP). The suit asserts that AMP and NSJP work in the United States as collaborators and propagandists for Hamas, a US foreign terrorist organization.
Far-left extremist Congressman Jamaal Bowman of New York’s 16th District thought that the date was an ideal time to leave his district, and go to Virginia to solicit support and money from those same terrorist supporters.
Through NSJP, AMP uses propaganda to intimidate, convince, and recruit uninformed, misguided, and impressionable college students to serve as foot soldiers for Hamas on campus and beyond. – Lawsuit filed May 1, 2024 against NSJP and AMP
So why would Bowman have supporters of Hamas terrorism headline a fundraiser? Why did Bowman leave his constituents in New York and fundraise in Virginia? Is this connected to Bowman’s refusal to attend a single event in a synagogue in Westchester since the October 7 massacre? Is it part of the rationale for his absence from attending the scene of an antisemitic hate crime in Scarsdale where his challenger Westchester County Executive George Latimer came and loudly rebuked antisemitism?
Through threats, violence, and vocal support for “globalizing” attacks against Jews and anyone who dares to support them, AMP and NSJP have intentionally instigated a mass culture of fear, threats, violence, and overt hatred to intimidate politicians and institutions for Hamas’s substantial benefit. – Lawsuit filed May 1, 2024 against NSJP and AMP
Bowman has decided to wear his Hamas shield proudly and fundraise from terrorist supporters outside of his district, while Americans and Israelis fight and sue for justice against the genocidal group.
One of the major primaries being discussed in the media is the race in New York’s 16th Congressional District between Rep. Jamaal Bowman of the far-left “squad” and Westchester County Executive George Latimer, a seasoned progressive. The media has portrayed this as a “microcosm of party split over Israel-Hamas conflict,” but that misses the mark.
This is about NY-16 being redistricted from a mix of northern Bronx and some of lower Westchester in 2020, to a predominantly Westchester district with a nub of the Bronx in Co-op City in 2024.
Bowman won the seat in 2020 securing the seat with many votes from the Bronx and some liberals in Westchester looking for a change and progressive voice. When the 2020 census moved NY-16 into more of a Westchester-focused population in 2022, two Westchester Democratic contenders fought to challenge Bowman, Westchester County Legislature Catherine Parker and Westchester County Legislature Vedat Gashi. Parker and Gashi split the anti-Bowman vote who had proven himself to be a radical with his chant to “Defund the Police” and vote against the Infrastructure Bill and then lying to his constituents that he actually supported it.
As soon as Bowman won the 2022 Democratic primary, people in Westchester started planning on who to run against him. This website, PrimaryBowman.com, posted ideas and articles including Beating Bowman, which called for finding a popular Westchester politician EARLY, to avoid splitting the vote again.
THAT WAS IN SEPTEMBER 2022.
Many local people in Westchester got involved to draft George Latimer to run against Bowman. It was not AIPAC, Democratic Majority for Israel or any other group. It was a grassroot effort of people who thought that Latimer had years of providing quality service to Westchester constituents, and while a liberal, appealed to the more centrist District 16 residents than the extremist Bowman.
The conversations with Latimer began in earnest in April of 2023 and people expected him to make a decision by June. Being a methodical politician, Latimer spent time canvassing the district to see if there was broad support for ousting a sitting Democrat, especially a Black man since Latimer is White. The responses were nearly universal: Bowman is detested in wide swaths of Westchester and politicians and the local Democratic establishment were going to back Latimer.
All of this was months before the barbaric October 7 Hamas attacks against Israel.
Latimer was quick to raise lots of money from inside Westchester, which is more affluent than the Bronx former-constituents who had voted for Bowman in 2020. Latimer raised almost twice as much money as Bowman in both the fourth quarter of 2023 and the first quarter of 2024. Even more telling, Bowman did not even have 10% of his donations from inside the district.
Sensing his vulnerability, Bowman latched onto the fundraising of Rep. Rashida Tlaib who is hauling in money from pro-Palestinian groups. Running unopposed, she funnels the excess money to Bowman, essentially buying a district hundreds of miles and four states away from her district in Michigan, cashing another anti-Israel vote.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib and her tool, Jamaal Bowman
Bowman is faithfully serving his Palestinian money master. He had anti-Zionists at his launch party, voted against Israel in all congressional votes, defended Tlaib’s gross antisemitism on the floor of congress, and refused to loudly condemn antisemitism on college campuses at a congressional hearing. Further, he would not attend a rally when antisemitic graffiti showed up on Jewish stores in his district, nor would he attend Jewish rallies in synagogues.
Latimer attended all of them.

Do Westchester Jews favor Latimer over Bowman because of Israel? Absolutely, but not solely. Bowman has years of earning his disrespect, including collecting a bipartisan censure from congress for pulling a fire alarm.
Bowman’s calling Westchester Jews “racist” for backing a White challenger is offensive and yet another sign of his moral failures. District 16 Jews support neighboring NY-15’s Rep. Ritchie Torres, a Black-Latino gay politician, for standing up the mob destroying property at Columbia University and for inciting violence against Jews, while Bowman supports the anarchists. Lower Westchester elected Mondaire Jones, a Black gay progressive in 2020 when the district lines put lower Westchester into NY-17.

New York’s 16th Congressional District has sought to replace Bowman as their representative since lines were redrawn to cover most of lower Westchester in 2022. Bowman’s latest anti-Israel antics are disgusting appeals to get money from anti-Zionists outside of the district. Even if October 7 never happened, lower Westchester would still rally to unseat the unpopular extremist Bowman.
The situation for Jews on American college campuses is terrible. While Jews have always been much more likely to suffer a hate crime than any other group including Blacks, gays, Muslims or people with handicaps, the spike in harassment since the jihadi Palestinian attacks on October 7 have been terrifying everywhere, and especially on college campuses.
Congress took notice and held a hearing about antisemitism on campuses with the heads of MIT, Harvard and University of Pennsylvania, and brought in Columbia University on April 17, 2024 for its own hearing. The incidents at Columbia have been plentiful, including from professors glorifying the barbarous attacks on Jewish civilians on October 7, student groups calling to “globalize the intifada (terrorism against Jews)”, “F**k Jews”, swastikas drawn on college property, Jewish mezuzahs torn off student housing and more.
The chair of the committee, Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC) showed a video (12:22) of some of the recent events to help frame the discussion, including showing masked people in keffiyehs threatening to make life for Jews “a nightmare.”
While the issue of antisemitism is immediate, horrible and indisputable, three members of congress decided that Jews really didn’t need protection or a special review. They included Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY16), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN5) and Rep. Bobby Scott (D-VA3).
Jamaal Bowman
Bowman spoke after a short recess and his remarks can be seen in the video at 2:23:22. He asked three questions of the panel, starting with Columbia’s president Minouche Shafik, none of which related to the terrible situation of Jews being targeted on college campuses. The first question asked whether all discussions regarding the Gaza War were necessarily antisemitic. The second was asking about Islamophobia on campus. The last was whether there was action taken for a “chemical attack” against pro-Palestinian person on campus.
Zero questions about the welfare of Jews.
Rep. Jamaal Bowman, representing one of the most heavily Jewish districts in the country, would not ask a single question about the welfare of Jews on a panel specifically on the issue of antisemitism at Columbia University
Ilhan Omar
Omar spoke at 2:34:20 and rattled off a series of quick questions to Shafik about the welfare of Muslims, Arabs and Palestinians. When she asked whether Shafik had seen protests against Jews, she incorrectly stated that she had not seen any, and later modified her remarks upon cross-examination (2:54:00) that while protests were not specifically about Jews, there were many antisemitic comments made at various protests.
Omar continued to pepper the panel about a supposed “toxic chemical substance” against pro-Palestinian students which was actually a foul odor skunk spray. She pushed for what actions were taken about doxxing of students and Israeli professor Shai Davidi complaining about the administration, professors and students.
When Columbia’s president said that six pro-Palestinian students were suspended for the “very serious case” of those students “inviting people inciting violence” against Jews, Omar shut down the response and moved on to the well-being of the suspended students and said absolutely nothing about students threatening violence against Jews.
She did not ask anything about the welfare of Jewish students under threat of attack.
Bobby Scott
As a ranking chair of the education committee, Scott got to speak twice on the panel, at the opening and the close. To start (4:35) and close (3:19:50) Scott devoted his time to the antisemitic incidents at the University of Virginia in 2017 from the alt-right, making it sound like antisemitism is solely a far-right phenomenon, a theme falsely aired by the left. He then said that all students need protection including Muslims and gays so there was no real reason to have this specialized investigation for antisemitism.
Rep. Foxx reacted to Scott’s comments (10:11) that the UVA incident did not involve university students or faculty, while the persistent matters of Jew-hatred are systemic in Columbia from the student groups, to professors, to the administration.
Scott was concerned for Jews but only in the general context of being worried about the welfare of all students, even though Jews are by far the most targeted.
While this was happening in Washington, people at Columbia University were shouting “we are all Hamas,” the genocidal maniacs who commited the October 7 massacre of 1,200 people and sworn to killing of Jews and destroying the Jewish state.
The far-left squad again showed that it cannot find any empathy for American Jews suffering attacks and threats of violence, even young Jewish adults on college campuses just seeking an education. That is a lesson for all Americans to internalize.

On April 14, 2024, The Islamic Republic of Iran fired hundreds of missiles and drones at the State of Israel. It was the first time Iran fired upon Israel from its own territory, as it had historically used its proxies of Hezbollah in Lebanon, Houthis in Yemen, Hamas in Gaza and the government of Syria to attack the Jewish State.
The United States has labeled Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism since 1984. The State Department highlights Iran supplying “weapons to Hizballah, Iran’s primary terrorist proxy group,” as well as “providing weapons systems and other support to Hamas and other U.S.-designated Palestinian terrorist groups, including Palestine Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command. These groups were behind numerous deadly attacks originating in Gaza and the West Bank.”
Iran and its proxies have been responsible for the deaths of thousands of Israelis; on October 7, 2023 as well as since and before that date. It is the root cause of instability and war in the region, and for the deaths of thousands outside of Israel as well.
These are well established facts and known to anyone with passing knowledge of the region. It is terrifying that a sitting member of congress is either too ignorant to know this or more frighteningly, chooses to ignore reality to conjure a fantasy which falsely inverts cause-and-effect to act as a protector of the axis of evil of Iran-Russia-Syria and their proxies.
Rep. Jamaal Bowman, is such a disgrace. At best he can be called a fool and at worst, a man dedicated to the destruction of Israel and America.
Rep. Jamaal Bowman tweet after Iran fired hundreds of missiles at America’s ally of Israel
Bowman said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu caused the “escalation” via his “warmongering.” He charged Netanyahu as being a “madman” who is “willing to endanger the lives of millions just to draw the US deeper into a conflict.”
Not only does Bowman fail to comprehend that Iran is behind the entire war apparatus in “Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Iraq”, he falsely asserted that Israel is not only not being defensive, but outrageously claimed that Israel is offensive just to draw America into the war.
Vote on H.R. 6408 on April 15, 2024 to terminate tax-exempt status for terrorist supporting organizations passed with almost complete support – except for the far-left extremists of the “Squad” including Jamaal Bowman
The Obama Doctrine of placating Iran with billions of dollars and leaving its nuclear program intact is bearing fruit a decade later in Israeli kibbutzim and on American streets. Political anarchists like Bowman, who shout “defund the police” and “defund Israel” are seeking to set the Western world aflame.

Members of the far-left “squad” in congress like to portray themselves as for the working people in a grassroots movement fighting against the rich and corporations.
The data of where some of them rake in the money tells a different story.
According to collection records assembled by the non-partisan group OpenSecrets, only two members of the squad did not take most of their contributions from large donors, Ilhan Omar (42.2% from large donors) and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (25.6% from large donors). All of the rest went for the big donor checks.
Summer Lee took in the vast majority of her fundraising – a whopping 71.5% – from large contributions. Rashida Tlaib was just behind her at 69.2% and Jamaal Bowman at 64.4%.
It is interesting to look at the overall fundraising for the candidates as well. AOC continues to be the major fundraiser as she’s been for years. However, this year, Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar are close behind, likely because of Democrats funding the two Muslim members of congress who are upset about the destruction in Gaza (rather than disgust for Hamas). Cori Bush and Ayanna Pressley have barely been able to raise any money.
Taking the two charts together points to a frightening realization about Summer Lee and Jamaal Bowman: they’ve raised a small amount of money and it’s mostly coming from major donors. They are essentially “owned” by a few big contributors. For Bowman it’s worse, as most of the contributors are from out of his district.
As the left-wing extremists launch a “Protect the Squad” campaign with appeals for money, keep in mind that Summer Lee and Jamaal Bowman are the embodiment of unpopular, big money politicians who pretend to have the backs and backing of their constituents.

Incumbent Rep. Jamaal Bowman of New York’s 16th District is so deeply unpopular that almost every single local Democratic committee has come out in support of his popular opponent in the Democratic primary, Westchester County Executive George Latimer. Bowman’s histrionics, lies, hypocrisy and race-baiting have long made him unpopular among his constituents.
Bowman has continued to ratchet up his insanity, and is now calling his opponent(s) ‘the devil.’
I kid you not.
In an April 6 X/tweet he was proud to post as he walked the streets of Westchester, Bowman screamed at full volume (0:33) “Always remember this. The devil’s a liar!! And will always be a liar!”
Is Bowman accusing mild-mannered, hard-working, progressive Latimer of being the devil? The thousands of people backing Latimer?
Jamaal Bowman is proving every day that he is an unhinged madman who should be removed from public office – and away from children – as quickly as possible. Volunteer and donate to George Latimer here.
The alt-right and White Supremacists have long vilified wealthy Jews as out to destroy the world for their own selfish profit. It was one theme of Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf and some right-wingers condemnation of Jewish billionaire George Soros today. The alt-left and Radical Muslims are doing the same, mostly around the Jewish State.
The Palestinian political-terrorist group Hamas led the charge. In its foundational 1988 charter, the militant jihadists lied that Jews started global wars to amass huge wealth in Article 22. It added to the antisemitic point in Article 32, that Jews’ greed will make them want to steal land throughout the Middle East like they did in Palestine.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), who considers herself a Palestinian-American, echoed these sentiments and took the slander to the shores of the United States. In a speech delivered to the Democratic Socialists of America in 2021, she said that Jews “exploit the rest of us, for their own profit,” and do it everywhere “from Gaza to Detroit… [as a] way to control people, to oppress people.” To be clear, that this is a global Jewish conspiracy, she added “open the curtain andlook behind the curtain, it’s the same people who make money and—yes they do—off of racism.”
The money and oppression theme of the extreme left and radical jihadists has started to identify specific names instead of generic Jews and Zionists. The current primary targets are Jared Kushner, former President Donald Trump’s Jewish son-in-law, and AIPAC which backs pro-Israel policies and Democratic and Republican politicians supporting those policies.
Kushner worked with Trump in creating the Abraham Accords which brought normalization agreements between Israel and four Muslim-majority countries. He also put forward an extensively thought-out plan to resolve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict which went nowhere. His views on the current Hamas war from Gaza were therefore sought out at the Harvard Kennedy School as part of a series of talks with people with a wide range of views on the current war.
Kushner commented that Biden spent no time on the region until now and bemoaned the fact that Hamas used the last seventeen years to invest in a battlefield infrastructure with hundreds of miles of underground tunnels rather than build a functioning economy. He noted that there was no reason that Gaza could not have become beautiful luxury waterfront had its leaders had more peaceful intentions. Unfortunately, Israel now needs to rid the region of the evil extremists and Kushner thought that maybe to protect Gaza’s civilians during the war, Israel should allocate a section of Israel’s Negev as a safe haven where they could be relocated until Hamas was defeated.
The alt-left chose to deliberately cherry-pick parts of Kushner’s comments to suggest that he was in favor of ethnically cleansing Gaza, killing every Arab and then putting up luxury condos with Trump’s name on top. It was a classic ‘Rothschild’ smear in which Jews advocate for war against non-Jews to steal and make money. Cenk Uygur, an alt-woke candidate for president who runs a site called The Young Turks, said that Kushner was “salivating over ethnic cleansing opportunities,” to get rich. Seemingly knowing that his comments reeked of antisemitism he added that you couldn’t call him an antisemite because Jews are like “the boy who cried wolf.”
AIPAC is the accompanying bogeyman for the extremist left and militant jihadists. The left-wing fringe group Justice Democrats launched a campaign called ‘Reject AIPAC’ in which they demonize AIPAC as a shady organization launched by Zionists and billionaires to ethnically cleanse Gaza.
The radical politicians backed by Justice Democrats echo the evil Jewish money-theme, that rich Jews are targeting American minorities so Zionists can go on killing and stealing.
The alt-left attempts to invert the narrative when Jews point out the antisemitism, declaring that Zionists are Islamophobic in yet another disgusting smear attempt.
Antisemites have always come in a variety of political stripes and colors but are always easy to identify by their ‘Rothschild’-vitriol against Jews as foreign, racist meddlers in local matters who are consumed by unquenched greed.
