Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the "Parents Bill of Rights"

Above, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez 2019 official portrait.

From Fox News:

U.S. House Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., was criticized by conservatives on social media Thursday after she alleged that the Republican-sponsored Parents Bill of Rights being considered in Congress is "fascist." The bill seeks to strengthen parents' knowledge of and involvement in their children's education. 

This is what wacko AOC calls "fascist":

The Parents Bill of Rights:

1. Right to know what’s being taught in schools and see reading materials.

2. Right to be heard.

3. Right to see school budgets and spending.

4. Right to protect your child’s privacy.

5. Right to be notified of any violent activity at school.

I guess we have to just consider the source.  

Alexandria Ocasio-Smollett

From the Daily Caller:

• “Alexandria Ocasio Smollett” and “AOC Lied” trended on Twitter amidst backlash over Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s tale of her experiences during the Capitol Riot.
• The New York Democrat has repeatedly said she feared for her life, describing how she hid in her office bathroom after hearing loud banging and shouting on Jan. 6 before a Capitol Police officer burst into her office.
• Critics pointed out that her office is not in the United States Capitol building, which rioters stormed that day, but in the Cannon office building down the street.

Biden and Media: Gaslighting Clowns

 

Gaslighting, technique of deception and psychological manipulation intended to make the victim dependent on the deceiver in thoughts or feelings. - Britannica.com.

There is more hypocrisy being presented by Biden and the media.

KTLA reported:

President-elect Joe Biden says it’s time for America to “unite” and to “heal.”

Biden said in a statement Saturday, “With the campaign over, it’s time to put the anger and the harsh rhetoric behind us and come together as a nation.”

“We are the United States of America,” he wrote. “And there’s nothing we can’t do, if we do it together.”

Biden made no mention of his opponent, President Donald Trump, who has not conceded the race.

It is funny. The Democrats never accepted the results of the 2016 election and spent four years trying to undo that election with the Russian collusion hoax, Ukraine, impeachment and other chicanery. Now they and their media lapdogs expect this country to unite?! They're whistling in the wind!

While Biden is talking about "unity" and "healing", Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other leftist Democrats are promoting their "Trump Accountability Project" to identify and "punish" Trump supporters. That's right out of the Bolshevik playbook! That's going to promote "unity" and "healing"?

Former talk show host David Gold posted on Facebook:

Gold is right, we're being fed a bunch of nonsense by Biden and the media. Gaslighting is a favored technique of narcissists and totalitarian propaganda machines.

Democrats Compiling "Enemies List" To Punish Trump Supporters

The Looney Left Report

I first saw the story about how some far left Democrats want to compile an "enemies list" of Trump supporters. This was posted on Facebook by Breitbart.

They are calling it the "Trump Accountability Project".

From Opindia:

Enthusiastic supporters of AOC [Alexandia Ocasio-Cortez] have come up with a plan to ensure that no ‘Trump sycophant’ goes unpunished. A ‘Trump Accountability Project’ (TAP) has been established to document the names of every administration staffer, campaign staffer bundler and lawyer who worked for US President Donald Trump. In the prevailing political climate in the USA, it’s hard not to see it as a hitlist for radical leftists. 

The objective of TAP is “to make sure anyone who took a paycheck to help Trump undermine America is held responsible for what they did.” If this gives readers the uneasy feeling that the whole thing could soon devolve into totalitarian nightmare, they have every reason to believe so. What’s astonishing is that no one is even pretending to hide their sinister agenda.

Jennifer Rubin, a prominent supporter of Joe Biden and Washington Post and MSNBC columnist, asserted that any Republican “now promoting rejection of an election or calling to not to follow the will of voters or making baseless allegations of fraud should never serve in office, join a corporate board, find a faculty position or be accepted into “polite” society. We have a list.” This is after Democrats en masse refused to recognise the results of the 2016 presidential elections and blamed Russia for Trump’s victory.

Mark Levin reposted this Tweet by Alexandia Ocasio-Cortez several minutes ago:

Sound like a threat to me. This is what fascists and communists do.

If something should happen, God forbid, I hope they sue the crap out of anyone who put them on their list.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's "Anguish" Staged

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is getting a lot of heat over some old photos of her supposed crying in anguish at a chain-link fence over migrant children in a detention center in Texas.

New photos have turned up with different angles showing that what was on the other side were not children, but cars in a parking lot or a road.

According to Fox News:

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was called out on social media over photographs near a migrant detention center that critics said appeared to be staged during her 2018 campaign, a charge that her office denied. 

The "previously unpublished" pictures came to light when a photographer, Ivan Pierre Aguirre, posted them on his Twitter account. He said that they were taken last year in Tornillo, Texas.

The New York Democrat tweeted out the post, writing that she'll "never forget this, because it was the moment I saw with my own eyes that the America I love was becoming a nation that steals refugee children from their parents,& caged them. More kids died after this. To date, no one has been held accountable. We need to save these kids.” 

The tweet was, however, called out by some on social media who claimed that the pictures near a chain-linked fence appeared to be "staged." There's one image of Ocasio-Cortez apparently bent over in anguish and there's another with her hands covering her face. 

"Did the cars cause all that pain and anguish?” a social media user wrote in a tweet, sharing pictures from the protest showing that the Democrat, on the far left, looking at an empty road with a few cars.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Baseball Video Flap

Above, a 1980 Reagan campaign poster.

A Memorial Day tribute video that was played at a Fresno Grizzlies minor league baseball game on a jumbotron raised more than a few eyebrows.

According to Fox News:

A Washington Nationals minor league affiliate apologized Monday for a Memorial Day tribute video that appeared to show an image of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., between dictators Kim Jong Un and Fidel Castro while former President Ronald Reagan spoke of the “enemies of freedom.” 

Fresno Grizzlies team president, Derek Franks, told KSEE-TV playing the video was “truly an oversight.” The team also released a statement apologizing for playing the clip.

Here's the video:




The video was non-controversial until the last 30 seconds.

And what was the reaction by Rep. Alexandrai Ocasio-Cortez?

She Tweeted:

What people don’t (maybe do) realize is when orgs air these hateful messages, my life changes bc of the flood of death threats they inspire. I‘ve had mornings where I wake up & the 1st thing I do w/ my coffee is review photos of the men (it’s always men) who want to kill me.

Well, it seems that the video unintentionally spoke the truth and touched a nerve or two. Maybe Reagan reached out from the grave to take a poke at Ocasio-Cortez for insinuating he was "racist" last March through the video.

Gov. Grisham and Democrat Leftists Pass "Green New Deal" Law In Near-Secret

New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham and her Democrat legislative majority in Santa Fe have snuck in a version of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's "Green New Deal" into law with little or no public input.

Daniel Turner of Power The Future wrote an opinion piece for Fox News. It is titled, "Daniel Turner: Stealth AOC ‘Green New Deal’ now the law in New Mexico, voters be damned".

He begins with:

By now, the public is well aware of the “Green New Deal” proposed by freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.  They have not responded well to calls for forced veganism and banning airplanes, let alone giving up the American way of life made possible by cheap energy.  

But while Ocasio-Cortez has taken the brunt of the media focus, environmental groups have developed a new strategy to get their way: pass a type of “Green New Deal” state by state.

It’s a smart tactic. They get friendly, left-leaning state legislators and governors, most of whom they financially backed in the past election, to do their dirty work.  While the media is watching AOC marveling over garbage disposals and rejecting the racism of cauliflower, no one is reporting about bad laws taking shape in secret. 

That’s exactly how radical green groups want it. 

Their latest attempt was in New Mexico, and unfortunately, it succeeded. Newly-elected Democrat Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham signed the “Energy Transition Act” in March. This law requires that New Mexico move to 100 percent carbon-free energy – the same long-term goal as the “Green New Deal.” 

This destructive law is essentially a hidden carbon tax and will threaten the jobs of thousands of energy workers, raise utility rates, cut state revenue, and make green energy companies rich at the taxpayers’ expense. 

Green groups have effectively rebranded “carbon tax” as “renewable energy mandates” and to get the same results: the end of fossil fuels.  Force the elimination of low-cost energy sources and mandate high-cost renewables.  Send the bill to customers.  Say it’s “for the earth” and voilà, green energy companies get rich.

But no matter what you call it, it’s a tax, plain and simple.  Economists agree. The University of Chicago, for example, recently released a report detailing how renewable mandates increase energy prices by 17 percent. The Heritage Foundation believes it might be even worse and could double electric bills on families.

Unless the Republican Party of New Mexico gets on board with a referendum on the ballot for voters to rescind this disastrous law, the New Mexico people are screwed.

Petitions are already being circulated.

From the Deming Headlight:

SANTA FE - More laws passed this year by the Democratic-controlled Legislature and signed into law by Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham are being targeted for repeal by self-described "patriot" groups from around New Mexico. 

Five new referendum petitions aimed at bills such as an approved increase in New Mexico's $7.50-per-hour minimum wage, a landmark renewable energy law and a framework for having certain criminal records expunged from public view were filed last week with Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver's office.

Pelosi Rejects Socialism

This is sure to not make AOC and other Democrat socialists happy!

Doctor Appointment and Eyeglasses Problem

Above, without my glasses, AOC looks like this (well, she looks like this anyway).

Today, for the most part, was a a busy day.

I had to go into Gallup for my regular check-up. Blood pressure, pulse, heart rate, etc. all came out fine.

I have to go in later in the month to get a pneumonia vaccine (they were out of the vaccine). The doctor recommends them of those in my age group. Considering how miserable my "honorary sister" was when she came down with pneumonia recently, I decided that would be a good idea. I should get vaccinated before my cruise to Cuba next month.

While in the lab for a blood test, a screw to my eyeglasses broke and I had to get it taken care of. Fortunately, I keep a spare pair of glasses in The Beast and was able to drive with those. I went to three places to see about getting the eyeglasses fixed. The first one doesn't do glasses. The second place (a block away) tried, but one part was bent, so they recommended Bishop Optical a mile away. That did the trick. They were able to fix it in minutes at no charge!

It is just as well this happened when it did instead of being on a cruise ship. I am currently on a waiting list for an optometrist to get an eye exam. They are booked up through May. I definitely need new glasses!

Democrats Made Their Own Infanticide, Socialist and Anti-Semite Labels

When the Democrats are called out for what they are, they and their media lackeys just can't stand it.

For weeks, Democrats such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Sen. Bernie Sanders and many others came "out of the closet" and proclaimed their socialism and others, such as Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam among many, have supported late-term abortions as well as infanticide after "botched" abortions. Senate Democrats defeated a bill that would allow for medical aid for babies born alive after such botched abortions.

Some Democrats have been openly hostile to the state of Israel and Jews in particular.

The New York Times whined:

WASHINGTON — In the 116th Congress, if you’re a Democrat, you’re either a socialist, a baby killer or an anti-Semite. 

That, at least, is what Republicans want voters to think, as they seek to demonize Democrats well in advance of the 2020 elections by painting them as left-wing crazies who will destroy the American economy, murder newborn babies and turn a blind eye to bigotry against Jews. 

The unusually aggressive assault, which Republican officials and strategists outlined in interviews last week, is meant to strangle the new Democratic majority in its infancy. It was set in motion this month by President Trump, who used his State of the Union address to rail against “new calls to adopt socialism in our country” and mischaracterize legislation backed by Democrats in New York and Virginia as allowing “a baby to be ripped from the mother’s womb moments before birth.” 

Then last week, Republicans amped it up, seizing on a Twitter post by a freshman representative, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, which even some Democrats condemned as anti-Semitic, and ridiculing the “Green New Deal,” an ambitious economic stimulus plan unveiled by Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a self-described democratic socialist. Suddenly even Jewish Democrats were abetting anti-Semitism and moderate Democrats in Republican districts were Trotskyites and Stalinists.

They can't handle it because the Republican attacks are all true! If the shoe fits, wear it! They moved to the far-left since Trump's election.

Now they're complaining, but the funny part of all of this is that they brought it all upon themselves!

The 2020 Election Campaign is gone to be fun!

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Solves Air Pollution

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez demonstrates how to eliminate methane pollutants in the atmosphere.

Like cows, she also gives off "enormous" amounts of methane. But she eliminates that problem by just lighting her farts.

But Cortez isn't alone, others in the Democrat Party signed off on the "Green New Deal", including several presidential candidates. Eliminating, or regulating cow farts is a priority in this wacko proposal.

"Green New Deal" A Socialist Fraud

The new Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez unveiled her "Green New Deal" and a number of Democrats, including several presidential candidates, signed on.

But, as Mark Penn notes, it has more in common with Mao's "Cultural Revolution" than FDR's "New Deal" of the 1930s.

Above, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Penn wrote in Fox News:

The “Green New Deal” is not green at all. If anything it’s a raw, red deal. It calls for a government takeover of our wage, and of our energy, housing, health care and transportation sectors. It has more in common with Mao’s Cultural Revolution than it does FDR’s New Deal, which lifted millions out of the Great Depression. 

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez announced this resolution with Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Ed Marky and a bevy of supporting congressmen.
One wonders if anyone actually read it. 

One section says that in the spirit of democracy that only people from “frontline and vulnerable communities and workers” will “plan, run and administer” all of these massive green deal programs. 

Just as Mao’s Cultural Revolution empowered students over their parents, so this bill sets up identity politics groups as having power over the major sectors of the economy. It even calls for a national “mobilization,“ as Mao did. 

Referencing historical discrimination, this bill in effect does away with one person one vote, or democracy as we know it, since in this resolution, redress of the past requires that only these designated groups would have a say in running this plan, whose administration would in effect be the domestic policy of the country.

After people started examining her plan and picking it apart, Ocasio-Cortez removed it from her website and claimed people were mischaracterizing it. But thanks to The Wayback Machine, she was caught in a blatant lie, as The Federalist Papers notes.
