Thursday sound bites

First up…let’s talk about the Democrat Congressman Dan Goldman (Manhattan/Queens area. Am I the only one who hears the old “Old El Paso” cows bawling “Noo Yawk City” in  my head?)

Mr. Goldman had to interject during a hearing on the impact of illegals on law enforcement, especially Nassau County police.

“Can’t say I’m going to miss that when the chairman is not going to be with us next term.”

Goldman proceeded to repeatedly cut off some of the law enforcement officials testifying during his questioning. In one instance, Goldman shouted, “It’s my time sir,” when Jonathan Thompson, executive director of the National Sheriffs’ Association, attempted to finish answering a question.

D’Esposito, who represents Nassau County in Congress, pointed out during the hearing that Goldman, who has a net worth of $253 million and is heir to the Levi Strauss & Co. jeans company, owns a summer home in the county and is one of the residents kept safe by Nassau officers. Fox News

Yeah, he’s tired of it. Bet the police are a lot more tired of it, and don’t have a quarter-billion to hide behind.  Guess that shows how old I am – I used to wear Levis, before they started supporting gun-control groups and sent this jerk to Congress. Read the linked article. I was a lot nicer than its author.

The UK is advertising internships to work in the intelligence services.

MI5, MI6 and GCHQ are offering students the opportunity of a paid internship next summer, promising that the opportunity represents the “first steps towards an exciting full-time career”.

It says that summer interns will not “just be sitting on the sidelines – this is your opportunity to get unique access to our operations, gain experience, and make key contributions to real projects”.

Oh – as long as they aren’t white No whites need apply.

The advert goes on to explain that the 10-11 week “intelligence internship” is only open to students from a “Black, Asian, mixed heritage or ethnic minority” as well as those from a “socially or economically disadvantaged” background.

But any white British students from a socially deprived family would not be considered for the internships which could lead to a career as a spy.

The advert explains that they are “confining the applications for this internship to those within this demographic due to a current underrepresentation in our workforce”.

The advert states the internship is open to applications from “white other” groups such as Romany Gypsy, Scottish or Irish Travellers.  The Telegraph

So if you’re a Mick, I guess you need to buy a trailer (‘caravan’). Otherwise I guess you are too white. How to they deal with Black Irish, I wonder?

Last, but not least, one of our favorite folks is off the hook. Al Sharpton, head of the National Action Network (NAN) drew criticism for the major funding given it by the Harris campaign.

Amid the fawning coverage of Vice President Kamala Harris’ 10-figure presidential campaign were reports of large sums of cash being doled out to high-profile supporters. Among the recipients was MSNBC host and activist Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network over which concern from the National Black Church Initiative evaporated over the weekend.

The National Black Church Initiative (NCBI) originally called for Sharpton to be investigated by MSNBC over the reputed undisclosed $500,000 he and NAN received. However, NBCI announced last week:

After further research, we have found no evidence that any candidate paid for support or endorsements, nor that NBC was engaged in any partisan political activities related to Vice President Harris’ appearance on PoliticsNation,” he continued. “Furthermore, we understand that Vice President Harris has made previous appearances on PoliticsNations with Rev. Al Sharpton over the years.”

“As a result, NBCI is formally retracting its call for Rev. Sharpton to be suspended from MSNBC. This call was inappropriate, and we regret the misstep,” said Evans.  USSA News

Not a site with which I am familiar,  but some of the commenters seem to suspect that a goodly portion of that half-mill being transferred from NAN to NBCI probably lubricated THAT U-turn.
