From [HERE] Incumbent progressive Rep. Cori Bush lost the Democratic primary in Missouri against a well-funded challenger backed by pro-Israel group Aipac.

Bush’s loss to St. Louis County prosecuting attorney Wesley Bell, age 49, is a major electoral win for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which has targeted members of Congress who criticized Israel on the national stage. The congresswoman is the second member of the left-leaning House “Squad” to lose a Democratic primary this summer, after Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D., N.Y.) was defeated in June.

With 99% of the vote counted, Bell had 51.2% to Bush’s 45.6%, according to the Associated Press projection.

Bush, age 48, spent the summer on the campaign trail fundraising and fending off accusations that she had broken too often with her party. 

Voters in St. Louis faced a barrage of advertisements over the past few months in a $19 million primary that tested the power of Aipac and other pro-Israel groups to target Democrats who have criticized Israel over how it is conducting the war in Gaza. [MORE]

An army of thousands of black elected and [s]elected officials (borgs) at all levels of government are not a reflection of “black power.” Rather, they are representatives of a powerless people – powerless to prevent racists from practicing racism against them and powerless to solve their own problems. So-called “black” leaders, such as Eric Adams, Barak Obama, Kamala Harris or Lori Lightfoot, are not engaged in “black politics” nor do they espouse any “black” political philosophy, or do they have any articulable “Black agenda.” These highly controlled individuals function as straw bosses, black wards, rolebots and puppeticians who literally ‘perform leadership’ to Blacks on behalf of wealthy white interests and serve as their “human resources.” The individual political successes of black elected and [s]elected officials has not translated into power for the Black masses much in the same way that successful Black athletes and entertainers also do not tangibly empower Blacks- as they enrich the pockets of wealthy whites who own and control the sports and “enterstainment” industries. Showcase Blacks and puppeticians alike derive and maintain their success, relevance and prestige from their usefulness and allegiance to elite white liberals.
