If Democrat hardliners are all as crazy and dumb as the personified future of their party, there may yet be hope that the country will be spared Biden’s reckless socialist spending blowout. Watch Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez explain to her fellow moonbats why she will not compromise one bit, despite compromise being necessary for politicians to get anything done in a democratic republic:

Her only coherent statement was, “I’m from the Bronx.” Characteristically, this is an easily disprovable lie. AOC grew up in the well-to-do Westchester suburb Yorktown Heights before attending outlandishly expensive Boston University.

No matter how much they have to inflate US currency, there is no limit to how much money moonbats like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will fling to four winds — so long as none of it goes to protecting Israeli civilians from terrorist rockets. Seeing money spent on this purpose reduced the normally fiery Marxist to tears:

The 420-9 vote was an overwhelming rebuke of House progressives who Wednesday held up Democrats’ continuing resolution because Iron Dome funding was included in the legislation.

Those who so adamantly side with terrorists against Israel that they would rather defund their own bloated government than support the Iron Dome include the usual suspects — namely, squad members Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley, and Cori Bush and their radical left allies.

AOC herself, needing Jewish support to maintain power in New York and possibly to acquire still more by taking Chuck Schumer’s Senate seat, changed her “no” vote to “present” at the last moment. However, she made her feelings clear by weeping the way spoilt children do on the rare occasions that they do not get their way.

No doubt Jews will vote for her anyway, despite her open hatred of Israel. After all, white people voted for Biden, who despite being white himself has been making his vociferous hostility toward Caucasians obvious for years.

Well-to-do Marxist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s stunt of wearing a “Tax the Rich” dress to the limousine leftist Met Gala was all the more hypocritical in that the designer of her gaudy dress, Aurora James, is a wealthy tax deadbeat:

Most of luxe-living James’ arrears center on Cultural Brokerage Agency, an LLC she formed in 2011 to serve as the parent company of her fashion brand, which today is known as Brother Vellies. …

The company racked up three open tax warrants in New York state for failing to withhold income taxes from employees’ paychecks totaling $14,798, the state Department of Taxation and Finance told The Post. … The company has been hit with 15 warrants in total since 2015. …

Between April 2018 and April 2019, the Internal Revenue Service placed six federal liens on Cultural Brokerage Agency totaling $103,220.

It has been suggested that James’ company does deduct taxes from paychecks, but neglects to send the money to Uncle Sam.

James doesn’t like paying property taxes either. She owes $2,504 on her new house in posh Hollywood Hills.

When it comes to tax loot, leftists find it is better to receive than to give. Her company raked in $41,666 in pandemic relief.

Despite having largely abandoned economic Marxism for cultural Marxism, even now our liberal elite overlords often pose as champions of the working man. And yet:

In October 2019 the state Worker’s Compensation Board slapped [James’] company with a $17,000 fine for not carrying worker’s-comp insurance between March 2017 and February 2018. The company currently owes $62,722 and no payments have been received to date…

Ex-staffers blasted the operation as a sweatshop that relied on legions of unpaid interns working full-time jobs.

She also has a repeated history of not paying her rent.

But Aurora James isn’t always tight with her money:

She frequently jets off to exclusive locations, her Instagram richly decorated with photos from Jamaica, Morocco, France, Indonesia, Mexico, Italy, the United Kingdom and The Hamptons.

She also found money to make a $2,700 donation to Hillary Clinton in 2016.

AOC describes her friend Aurora as “working class” and a “Black woman immigrant designer.” James was born in Toronto, but technically yes, she is an immigrant. But then, technically, AOC is an American.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal confirms that air travel will eventually have to be abolished for the sake of the climate. It calls for high-speed rail — presumably powered by sustainable pixie dust — “at a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary.”

Until enough high-speed rail projects along the line of California’s failed boondoggle are in place, we will still be able to fly, so long as we wear our Covid masks and the plane is powered by sustainable alternative jet fuels:

The Biden administration announced a goal Thursday of replacing all jet fuel with sustainable alternatives by 2050, setting forth a plan to dramatically boost production of fuels made from waste or plants to drive down the environmental cost of flying. …

Aviation accounts for about 3 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions.

There is zero chance that eliminating air travel altogether would result in a perceptible change in the weather. But this is about ideology, not reality, so Biden is willing to print any amount of money to finance politically correct green jet fuel.

Currently, the alternative fuels have to be combined with conventional jet fuel, and eliminating fuel made from crude oil would require technological breakthroughs to allow engines to run entirely on the alternatives.

No problem; just mandate that all jet fuel has to be made entirely out of crabgrass. The technological breakthroughs will have to happen if they are mandatory.

Like the auto industry, airlines go along with green idiocy so as to receive carrots from Big Government instead of the stick. Biden’s budget calls for a $2/gallon tax credit for using fuels that reduce harmless carbon emissions.

The industry has also called for grants and loan programs to support investments in production facilities.

Until Biden issues the executive order mandating crabgrass fuel, “sustainable” aviation fuel will continue to consist of waste fat, oil, and grease mixed with real fuel from crude oil. Like more efficient normal fuel, it produces CO2 emissions.

The emissions savings come from either growing sources of carbon — which pulls carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere — or using waste as an ingredient. Determining the benefits requires a complicated analysis known as a life cycle assessment.

According to Nikita Pavlenko, a fuels researcher at the International Council on Clean Transportation, some sustainable jet fuel could actually produce higher emissions. But since emissions don’t do any harm anyway, it’s only the intention that counts.

Before the pandemic scrambled the industry, airlines paid about $2 per gallon for jet fuel. Airlines for America says the alternative fuels can cost at least three times as much.

That’s okay. We can just print the money:

Government subsidies could help bridge the gap.

Even with lavish subsidies financed through inflation, green fuel will make flying more expensive. Eventually, only the ruling elites will have the mobility and thereby the freedom enabled by air travel. That is the objective.

On a tip from Mr. Freemarket.

People who acknowledge that there is such a thing as a woman had a good laugh when Future of the Democratic Party Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recoiled from the word in favor of the more politically correct terms “people who do give birth,” and “any menstruating person.” Characteristically, instead of admitting that she has yet again made a fool of herself, AOC belligerently doubles down:

According to the moonbat religion, women who say they are not women but rather “trans men,” “non-binary people,” “two-spirit,” et cetera are not women. Yet they might still be able to give birth. Therefore, logic dictates that you don’t have to be a woman to give birth — or to abort your baby, as AOC would prefer.

It is tempting to laugh even harder, but she has the Experts on her side:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), for example, provided an update for coronavirus vaccinations for pregnant women on August 11, although the federal health agency repeatedly used the phrase “pregnant people,” despite the fact that there are only two biological sexes and only females can become pregnant with a child.

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky has also used the phrase.

The political hacks running the CDC know more about liberal doctrine than they do about basic biology. However, they speak with authority — the authority of the federal government.

The Biden administration, too, has welcomed the broad terms, replacing the word “mothers” with “birthing people” in a budget proposal over the summer.

Like Indians, women face erasure in the name of political correctness.

Discarding even the pretense of trustworthiness, Democrats are going all out on behalf of election fraud, which helped them to power and serves as the keystone of their political gameplan. Listen to what Biden’s handlers put on his teleprompter:

During a Tuesday speech in Philadelphia, Biden slammed Republicans for their attempts to pass voter integrity laws.

“The assault on free and fair elections is just such a threat — literally. I’ve said it before. We’re facing the most significant test of our democracy since the Civil War. It’s not hyperbole — since the Civil War. Confederates, back then, never breached the Capitol as insurrectionists did on January 6. I’m not saying this to alarm you. I’m saying this because you should be alarmed,” Biden said.

As many as 750,000 were killed in the Civil War, but that was no big deal compared to a rowdy mob exploiting the lack of security to trespass in the People’s House.

Only one person died by violence on January 6; Ashli Babbitt, shot evidently without cause by an officially unnamed Capitol Police officer. Her death was no big deal either; our rulers say it did not even warrant a continued investigation.

However, a deplorable person sat without authorization at Nancy Pelosi’s desk. The situation was so terrifying that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has required psychiatric therapy to help her deal with it, even though she was not in the building at the time.

The strategy is to dupe idiots into thinking January 6 was a cataclysmic event, a misperception that the media has been pushing ad nauseam at the cost of its last dregs of credibility. Since the trespassers were angry about election fraud, all complaints on this topic can be linked to the demonized mob. The media/Democrat Party narrative is that anyone who wants free and fair elections is a dangerous insurrectionist.

Such people are also racist. None of this has anything to do with race, but anyone Democrats want to destroy gets called a racist so as to scare off potential defenders, because the increasingly meaningless word still instills terror of cancelation.

Biden’s hyperbole comes heavily laced with irony:

Before his “not-hyperbole,” Biden said that “bullies and merchants of fear and peddlers of lies are threatening the very foundation of our country,” in reference to the GOP.

Here’s why the speech was made in Pennsylvania:

Two days after Pennsylvania state senator Doug Mastriano announced that the committee he heads was preparing a forensic audit of the 2020 presidential election, the White House announced a trip to Pennsylvania by President Biden “to deliver remarks on actions to protect the sacred constitutional right to vote.”

The point of the visit was to encourage local officials not to cooperate with the investigation. If honest officials are able to conduct an effective inquiry despite resistance from Democrats, the information produced will undermine the ongoing attempt to seize federal control of elections so as to institutionalize fraud and guarantee Democrat dominance.

The absurd spectacle of Texas Democrat legislators leaving their state to prevent a law from being passed to help reduce voter fraud serves the same objective. The law will pass eventually anyway, but that isn’t the real issue. Democrats want to gin up support for the ultimate power grab, whether they call it the “For the People Act” or the “John Lewis Voting Rights Act.”

A political party seizing control of elections at the federal level is so blatantly unconstitutional that even liberals on the Supreme Court would be forced to strike it down. This will require packing the court with shameless apparatchiks of Merrick Garland’s caliber. That will leave us with a choice between Soviet-style tyranny and a second civil war.

On tips from Mr. Freemarket and ABC of the ANC.

The Future of the Democrat Party, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, succinctly sums up why it is so important to her party to pass the Orwellian “For the People Act” (a.k.a. HR1/S1), which would federalize elections in brazen violation of the Constitution and effectively institutionalize election fraud:

“…if Senate Democrats are not going to pass … HR1, we cannot rely solely on a wish of winning elections.”

Whereas if they do ram it through, and then pack the Supreme Court (see here, here, here, here, and here) to prevent it from being overturned, Democrats’ every wish is the nation’s command. The United States will no longer be a constitutional republic in any meaningful sense.

Hat tip: Not the Bee.

Limousine Leninist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — who grew up in tony Yorktown Heights in New York’s Westchester County, attended outlandishly expensive Boston University, currently drives a pricey Tesla (which she recently parked illegally outside a Whole Foods in a posh DC neighborhood), rents two apartments, wears $3,500 outfits, and can easily exploit her fame to acquire even more money — blames Donald Trump of all people for not helping her impoverished grandmother. Being too clueless to understand shame, she has doubled down in the face of the ensuing ridicule.

Try not to gag on this:

When Matt Walsh pointed out the shame of a rich and powerful woman allowing her grandmother to live in squalor, AOC squirted the familiar “It’s a Third World thing; you white people wouldn’t understand” BS, confirming that she has made no effort to help her grandmother. Then came more socialism, and of course a denunciation of the USA’s colonialism:

That is Marxism in a nutshell. The individual grandmother with the collapsing roof only matters to the extent that she can be exploited for propaganda purposes. What really matters is transforming the entire system so that everyone except members of the government is poor. Then we will have equity.

Marxists redistribute other people’s wealth, not their own. They are power-mad looters with zero redeeming value.

No matter how much you dislike AOC now, you will dislike her still more the next time she opens her mouth. DNC chair Tom Perez was right; she personifies what the Democratic Party is becoming.

Merriam-Webster defines terror as “violence or the threat of violence used as a weapon of intimidation or coercion.” That makes Black Lives Matter a terrorist organization, because it has employed many hundreds of riots and the explicit threat of more to impose a radical leftward shift in American politics. Unsurprisingly, BLM aligns itself with other terrorists who share similar objectives — i.e., Hamas:

To translate from the critical theory rhetoric into plain English, “ending settler colonialism” means eradicating racial groups they hate. This entails supporting the stated Hamas objective of ridding Israel of Jews. By now readers will have figured out for themselves what it means for Caucasians in North America.

As Fox News reports,

The announcement prompted a “thank you” tweet from the controversial Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, or BDS, which has for years called for an economic embargo of Israel.

“Thank you for your solidarity,” the left-wing group tweeted in response. “From Ferguson to Palestine, our struggles against racism, white supremacy and for a just world are united!”

Black Lives Matter rioters and Palestinian terrorists are fighting the same war. Consisting of savages, both could easily be crushed by the civilization they strive to destroy — if not for the fifth column. In the USA, this enemy within runs the federal government. Just as the Democratic Party sides with Black Lives Matter rioters against the police and property owners, it sides with Hamas in its war of extermination against Israel. Daniel Greenfield has explained how this alliance works, and why it was inevitable that Hamas would launch a new terror campaign against Israeli citizens soon after Biden took power.

In Congress, a growing number of Democrats are straightforward in their defense of Hamas terrorists. Examples include Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib, as well as Cori Bush (D-MO):

“The fight for Black lives and the fight for Palestinian liberation are interconnected. We oppose our money going to fund militarized policing, occupation, and systems of violent oppression and trauma. We are anti-war. We are anti-occupation. And we are anti-apartheid. Period,” Bush tweeted, citing her own House floor speech on the matter.

Israel does not occupy Gaza. Being “anti-occupation” in this context means being opposed to Jews living in Israel. The “apartheid” rhetoric implies that Israel should suffer the same fate as South Africa, a First World country that was reduced to poverty and tyranny. This is to be accomplished by demographic warfare, flooding the country with Arabs the way the Biden Regime has been flooding the USA with vast numbers of needy Third Worlders from Central America.

Meanwhile, the war in Israel continues to spread in the USA. The pogrom we saw in Los Angeles is also occurring across the country in New York:

There is no moral equivalence between Israel and the terrorists laying siege to it — or between patriotic Americans and Black Lives Matter supporters. We are not fighting naive kooks when we push back against Democrats. We are fighting evil.

On tips from Bluto, TCS III, and ABC of the ANC.

Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) has called for the eradication of all Jews in Israel. She supports the anti-Israel BDS movement, and barks about “apartheid.” Her current task is to shepherd Joe Biden toward the extreme left on the topic of Israel:

Biden and the Palestinian-American congresswoman engaged in what appeared at times to be a tense eight-minute chat on the tarmac of Detroit’s airport before he praised her at a nearby Ford facility…

“Rashid Tlaib — where’s Rashid? I’ll tell you what, Rashid, I want to say to you that I admire your intellect, I admire your passion and I admire your concern for so many other people,” Biden said.

No one expects Biden to get her name right, just so long as he keeps all dials turned all the way left.

“You are a fighter and God thank you for being a fighter.”

Biden croaked this complement in the context of Tlaib’s fellow Palestinians waging a terror war against the civilian population of the USA’s ally Israel. Moral clarity is not his forte.

Biden last week defended Israel when Defense Forces launched airstrikes on Gaza in response to rockets fired at Jerusalem and Tel Aviv by the Islamic fundamentalist groups. But on Monday, he urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to pursue a ceasefire – which Republican critics denounced as a break with Israel.

Postmodernism is the foundation not only of critical race theory, but of all contemporary liberal ideology. Its application here determines that the USA should side with Palestinian terrorists because they are “oppressed” — i.e., less civilized.

Given his embrace of leftist radicalism since taking office, Biden can be expected to move in the direction Rashida Tlaib and others like her desire. Biden has no moral or intellectual rudder, and consequently drifts wherever party winds push him. These winds have not been blowing in favor of Israel or Jews.

Tlaib’s fellow Squad members Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) have been over the top in their rhetoric supporting Palestinian terrorists. They are among the Democrats attempting to block an arms sale to Israel.

Facebook is in effect a wing of the Democratic Party. It censored a sitting Republican president and suppressed a bombshell story on behalf of his opponent. Now it has shut down Jerusalem Prayer Team, a pro-Israel page with more than 75 million followers, following a campaign against it by Islamists.

Meanwhile, a pogrom has been underway in Los Angeles, with Jews attacked at a restaurant and chased down the street.

Many Jews will have to decide if they are Jews first or moonbats first as the Israeli–Palestinian conflict takes firmer root in US soil and the Democratic Party veers ever further to the left.

Our Democrat rulers take gaslighting to extremes so surreal, they would give Rod Serling a chill. With Mother’s Day coming up, Future of the Democratic Party Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez praises Planned Parenthood for the many babies’ lives it has saved.

After denouncing the legal system for executing murderers even if they are black and hospitals for not being completely run by Big Government, AOC barks,

“Let’s talk about how many lives Planned Parenthood has saved and how many babies have been born because of the prenatal care provided by Planned Parenthood.”

No, let’s talk about how many babies have been killed by this lavishly taxpayer-subsidized abortion mill, which serves as a money laundering service by channeling $millions of its government subsidies back into the Democratic Party. According to its 2019–2020 annual report, PP provided 8,626 prenatal services and 354,871 abortion services — a ratio of over 41:1.

Either our rulers despise us enough that they think we will believe that abortion mills save babies’ lives rather than snuffing them out, or these maniacs are so insane that they believe it themselves. It’s hard to say which is more frightening.

On a tip from Mr. Freemarket.

The Future of the Democratic Party has arrived:

Congressional Democrats, led by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.), reintroduced the Green New Deal on Tuesday, a sweeping progressive legislative agenda designed to fundamentally transform the U.S. economy to end capitalism while promoting so-called racial, economic, and climate “justice.”

Some think of Biden’s multi-$trillion “infrastructure” blowout as the New Green Deal in disguise. Actually, it only represents a small down payment. Leftists don’t plan to cripple the country. They plan to destroy it. Utopia will be constructed on its ruins, just like in Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge. You might call the current regime the Khmer Vert.

Markey’s name has been in the news lately because he leads the Democrat charge in the Senate to pack the Supreme Court so that the Constitution will no longer be a hindrance to their plans to remake America as a totally different country.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez personifies the ultraleft vanguard in the House. She squeaks:

“We’re going to transition to a 100% carbon-free economy that is more unionized, more just, more dignified and that guarantees more health care and housing than we’ve ever had before.”

Enjoy your First World standard of living while you can. It won’t be for long. A “carbon-free economy” would entail total economic collapse, followed by mass starvation. It is simply not possible for windmill and solar panel boondoggles to provide more than a tiny fraction of the energy needed to sustain the economy. This is not a bug but a feature. Liberals believe there are too many of us.

Ocasio-Cortez first introduced the Green New Deal in 2019 as a nonbinding resolution in the House that broadly outlined a Democratic legislative agenda to remake the economy. The plan sets a goal of “net-zero greenhouse gas emissions” which will be met after a “10-year national mobilization” that would restructure government social programs, vastly expand government power to centrally plan the economy, and dramatically increase federal taxes and spending to fund it all.

The idea is to convert the USA into a Third-World socialist hellhole in the name of improving the weather, even though the weather is the one thing Big Government won’t control.

Ocasio-Cortez said the Democratic initiative must “rectify the injustices of the past” by providing free higher education for all Americans, “affordable, safe, and adequate” housing, free health care, and millions of “union jobs.”

Any difference from communism is a distinction without a difference.

As for the global warming pretext, AOC shrieks:

“It’s not just human-caused, it’s societally-caused. The climate crisis is a crisis born of injustice. And it is a crisis born of the pursuit of profit…

“We must recognize in legislation that the trampling of indigenous rights is a cause of climate change. That the trampling of racial justice is a cause of climate change…”

The climate doesn’t change because that’s what climate always does. It changes because there is resistance to the radical left agenda. Soon this resistance will be crushed. Then the climate will never fluctuate.

As you can see, AOC is unreachably insane:

Our future is in the hands of crazy people who do not mean us well.

On a tip from Varla.

Just a few years ago, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was a ditzy bartender from Westchester. She was plucked from obscurity by the Justice Democrats and made into a prominent member of the ruling oligarchy. Now, she is a person it is dangerous for even other moonbats to criticize. Consider this pair of tweets by podcaster Ryan Wentz:

These earned the underwhelmed Wentz a visit from police:

Wentz told The Grayzone, “The officers said, ‘We got a warning about a sitting member of Congress. And it was because of your tweet, which tagged them in it.’ And then they just wouldn’t back down from this accusation that I threatened to kill her.”

The California Highway Patrol indicated on Twitter that it had acted on a call from Capitol Police.

Good thing the Capitol Police don’t show this kind of diligence when it comes to keeping rowdy mobs out of the Capitol, or the Democrats wouldn’t have the January 6 riot to endlessly milk for propaganda.

AOC has a gift for perceiving nonexistent threats as a means of attacking those alleged to have made them. Following January 6, she accused Ted Cruz of trying to murder her.

Her people deny that they sicced the police on Wentz. Maybe they didn’t have to:

AOC has in the past asked her supporters to report critics to social media censors.

There is no indication that Wentz ever threatened any member of Congress. However, he did tweet a video that exposed AOC as an inarticulate idiot, setting off an avalanche of ridicule. Hurting people’s feelings qualifies as violence according to moonbat ideology. When left-wing podcaster Jimmy Dore criticized her for not pushing hard enough for socialized medicine, AOC squeaked, “That’s not tone, that’s violence.”

Wentz does not provide his actual identity in his profile on Twitter, which apparently handed his personal information over to authorities. Odds appear slim that a warrant was involved.

An official with the Capitol Police says that although Wentz didn’t actually threaten AOC, he was tagged in a now-deleted tweet by someone else that qualified as a threat:

“Obviously as you can imagine, anytime there’s anything that could be a perceived threat, we’re going to talk to everybody involved, whether they’re directly involved or indirectly involved,” the official said.

Obviously.

The police did not drag Wentz off to a basement interrogation chamber and pry off his fingernails. Their visit was for intimidation purposes only. But anyone aware of what goes on in other countries knows where we will end up if we continue to let Democrats make America “more like the rest of the world.”

Assuming the dollar has not yet been inflated to Weimar Republic levels of worthlessness after the next installment of reparations to blacks (I refer to the impending “infrastructure” looting spree), why not pay reparations to illegal aliens too?

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez loves the idea. Tucker Carlson, not so much:

We do have to care what AOC thinks, no matter how conspicuously stupid, crazy, and evil she may be. She is no longer the Future of the Democrat Party. Now, she is the Present of the Democrat Party, personifying its guiding force. Hers is the ruling party, and if HR1 passes, it may soon be the only party.
