Leftist Dems Silent on Cuban Cry for Freedom

Biden’s behavior has made it obvious that the driving force behind the ruling Democratic Party is its leftmost contingent. Its vanguard comprises Democrats affiliated with the Democratic Socialists of America. Let’s hear what they have to say about the cries for freedom arising from the miserable communist slave state 90 miles off our coast:

[New York Rep Alexandria] Ocasio-Cortez, Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib, New York Rep. Jamaal Bowman and Missouri Rep. Cori Bush make up the four DSA members in Congress. All four members have yet to speak out about the ongoing protests in Cuba and none of their offices returned Fox News’ requests for comment by press time.

AOC and Rashida Tlaib, both with their mouths shut. Treasure this rare moment in history.

As for the DSA itself,

The DSA International Committee on Monday declared its solidarity with the “Revolution” – the term used by the communist regime – “in this moment of unrest.” The DSA’s national arm also echoed Cuba’s president in blaming America’s trade embargo with the communist regime for the unrest.

If Democrats have their way, the wicked regime that reduced prosperous Cuba to the wretched country that it is currently will be a role model for America’s future.

Let’s hope that those who escaped from Cuba to freedom in Florida kept the innertubes some of them used to cross the shark-infested waters. If Marxists are overthrown in Cuba but continue to prevail in the USA, they may have to make a return journey.

Brooklyn Principal Urges Staff to Support Hamas

There is no moral nuance in the terror campaign Hamas recently inflicted on Israeli citizens. It would be hard to imagine a more straightforward confrontation between good and evil. The moonbats who run public schools in New York City can be expected to join many Democrats by siding with evil:

In an email sent amid the since-suspended fighting between Israel and Hamas terrorists, Principal Amanda Bueno told staffers at MS 136, “If you have been watching the news in absolute horror, you are not alone.”

“You can take action today by protesting, attending a vigil, making a public commitment to Palestinian Liberation, signing a petition, or calling your government officials to place sanctions on Isreal (sic),” she wrote Wednesday morning.

These days, you can’t expect educrats to be able to spell Israel.

“The time is now to take a stand for those impacted by state-sanctioned violence and crimes against the humanity of the most vulnerable in our world.”

The phrase “most vulnerable” presumably includes both Islamic terrorists and the Arab civilians they use as human shields. It does not include the Israeli civilians Hamas targeted for attack after it became apparent that the Biden Regime, like the Obama Regime before it, will side with the bad guys in the Middle East.

Bueno’s email included a list of links to leftist propaganda articles supporting Islamic terrorists, including one featuring rabidly anti-Israel Squad member Rashida Tlaib (D-MI).

(Inna) Vernikov, the Republican candidate running to succeed crooked ex-City Councilman Chaim Deutsch (D-Brooklyn) said she knew MS 136 teachers with “close family members who live in Israel.”

But she said the educators “are intimidated and afraid to speak out to counter such messages in fear of losing their jobs.”

That’s how things work where leftists have hegemony. Their Hamas allies run Gaza with the same degree of tolerance.

Black Lives Matter Backs Hamas

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.

Dems Begin to Turn Against Jews

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.

Good vs Evil in the Middle East and Elsewhere

It isn’t hard to tell the white hats from the black hats. Everyone knows that if Palestinian terrorists laid down their arms, there would be peace, and if the Israelis laid down their arms, every Jew in the region would be exterminated. Tweets from a couple of actresses sum up the situation.

Israeli actress Gal Gadot prays for peace:

John Sexton reports on the reaction from the left-leaning twittersphere:

You can’t read the comments to that tweet because she locked them. However, there are still about 74k quote tweets responding to this and I’d estimate about 85-90% of those are negative. Actually, calling them negative undersells the kind of responses she is getting. It would be more accurate to call them filled with rage.

Gadot is denounced for her peaceful wishes largely in terms of the postmodern political ideology that prevails in our schools, according to which she is a “colonizer” because she is not of the Third World, and therefore she deserves to be destroyed.

In the opposite corner from Gadot, we have Muslim actress Zahida Malik, a.k.a. Veena Malik:

As Post Millennial reports,

While the quote the actress tweeted Tuesday that she attributed to Hitler appears to be made up, the intent is quite clear. “I would have killed all the Jews of the world…but I kept some to show the world why I killed them.”

Under Democrat rule, the USA is increasingly on Malik’s side. Biden has been shoveling massive amounts of our money at the Palestinians. His support is likely what emboldened the terrorists to launch more than a thousand rockets at Israeli citizens this week.

When Israel struck back in its usual excessively measured fashion, prominent members of the USA’s ruling party accused it without irony of “terrorism” and “human rights violations.”

Screeches Ilhan Omar (D-MN):

Shrieks Rashida Tlaib (D-MI):

The Palestinians who started this deliberately target civilians, including schools. In contrast,

Israelis go to great lengths to minimize civilian casualties. They have notified Gazans of impending attacks and have employed the practice of “roof knocking,” whereby they drop nonexplosive devices on buildings to alert residents that it is about to be targeted by an air strike so they have time to vacate.

The terrorist groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad routinely fire and store rockets in civilian areas. This tactic has naturally put more Palestinians in harm’s way. Indeed, this is part of the strategy, as civilian casualties in Gaza help the groups to gain support among the international community, and on the American left.

Israel vs terrorist savages, right vs left, countermoonbats vs moonbats — all are surface level. The conflict is actually between good and evil.

Profiles in Moonbat Hypocrisy: Ben & Jerry’s

Over the past year, we have come to expect corporations to aggressively, even belligerently promote lunatic left ideology, but Unilever’s Ben & Jerry’s brand was there before the party started, the product having been obnoxiously politicized for years. The official B&J reaction to another lowlife Criminal of Color dying while resisting arrest was predictable:

An accident, probably resulting from poor training and Affirmative Action personnel standards, is proof that we must dismantle police nationwide because “white supremacy.” That #DefundThePolice hashtag will surely put an end to violence on the streets.

One tweeter responded,

This turned out not to be the case:

All woke members of the establishment are hypocrites. The only people who actually mean it when they spout antipolice moonbattery are sociopaths who belong in cages.

Not even Squad kook Rashida Tlaib means it:

When she screeches that she wants to abolish the police, she means that she wants to abolish local police that she cannot directly control from the DC Death Star. With no police at all, who will impose laws to make life miserable for decent people while thieves and maniacs are allowed to run riot?

Already Dems Turn on Each Other

Without their hatred of Donald Trump to unite them, Democrats will inevitably fall at each other’s throats like a gang of thieves fighting over loot. Already a schism has opened between relative moderates and the spittle-spewing Marxist maniacs comprising the Squad, who unsurprisingly play the race card as they jockey for power.

Screams Rep Rashida Tlaib (D-MI):

“Me not being able to speak on behalf of many of my neighbors right now, many of which are Black neighbors, means me being silenced. I can’t be silent.”

You would have to be deaf to imagine Rashida Tlaib silent. However, if everyone doesn’t shut their mouths and bob their heads in compliance while she endlessly shrieks, Tlaib regards it as being silenced.

The more moderate Democrats honk about unity and healing under their dominance. But Squad members don’t feel close enough to victory to have any use for unity.

“We are not interested in unity that asks people to sacrifice their freedom and their rights any longer,” said Tlaib… “And if we truly want to unify our country, we have to really respect every single voice. We say that so willingly when we talk about Trump supporters, but we don’t say that willingly for my Black and brown neighbors and from LGBTQ neighbors or marginalized people.”

So much for trying to convince white suburbanites that they don’t want to start a race war.

Tlaib and other progressive leaders are making it clear there will be no honeymoon for Joe Biden.

Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer get pulled out on limbs by these rabid Harpies. What are the odds befuddled Biden can get them in line?

Squad leader Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez plays the race card too:

“It’s not just like some moral question about how you confront racism in elections, but it is now an existential crisis for the Democratic Party,” Ocasio-Cortez said. The problem, she said, is Democrats don’t want to talk about race. “Anti-racism plays zero percent of a role in Democratic electoral strategy — zero, explicitly, implicitly,” she continued.

“Antiracism” in this context means codifying the race hate toward Caucasians that is a prime motivator for the radical base personified by AOC and Tlaib.

As for outdated notions like bipartisanship and civility,

“We’re always messaging around bipartisanship and how much we love working with Republicans all the time in a lot of these sensitive areas,” [AOC squeaked contemptuously]. “We need to have an unapologetic agenda, have an actual alternative and countermessaging that is distinct from the Republican Party instead of trying to play to notions of civility. … I just really hope that it gets through to a lot of people that this idea that we can win over white voters on a civility argument is like not a reliable strategy.”

Civility is not a serious option for the party that obsequiously embraced Black Lives Matter race rioters.

So long as the Senate holds, it can stall the Dems’ demented agenda for 2 years. Then their inability to keep the radicals who represent their base from projectile-vomiting pea soup at normal people like Linda Blair in The Exorcist will cost them the House. By then Biden will be in a dementia care facility and Harris will be in helplessly over her head.

DC Comics to Feature Leftists Like AOC, Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Back in its day, DC Comics used to promote “truth, justice, and the American way.” Having been subverted by leftist social engineers, it now promotes the opposite. The political hijacking of comics could not be more obvious than this:

“Not all heroes wear capes,” DC Comics announced on its website. “Wonder Woman has been an inspiration for decades, and while not everyone would choose her star-spangled outfit for themselves, her compassion and fairness are worthy of emulation. We’ll be presenting tales of the real-world heroes who take up Diana’s mantle and work in the fields of science, social justice activism, diplomacy and more!”

Just what kids love to read comics about.

The $16.99 “Wonderful Women of History” anthology will feature anti-Constitution Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, anticapitalist Senator Elizabeth Warren, avowed socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, unhinged leftist Rashida Tlaib, and transsexual activist Malcolm Michaels Jr, who now goes by the name Marsha P. Johnson.

The point is not to entertain children, but to indoctrinate them.

Getting kids to read this stuff will not be easy. Like much of American popular culture, comics are dying of contrived social engineering.

From corners the liberal establishment hasn’t thought to seize control of, genuine American culture will reemerge. Kids will seek it out, because it will be vastly more interesting than hagiographies of leftist politicians.

Pallywood Profile: Saleh Aljafarawi

No need to worry about Hollywood deteriorating to the point that the woke crap it excretes is no longer watchable. Pallywood provides an alternative. The career of Saleh Aljafarawi is flourishing:

If you have been on social media platforms like Twitter or TikTok over the past three weeks, chances are pretty good that you’ve seen him.

The anguished. The angry. The triumphant raising of the AK-47. Give the man an Oscar! …

Since hostilities began he now has a whopping 1.5 million followers on Instagram and more than 9,000 subscribers on YouTube.

A sample of Aljafarawi’s oeuvre:

With the liberal media anxious to lap up whatever lies Hamas barfs up in front of them, it’s no surprise Aljafarawi is all smiles:

The rockets they get from Iran with financial assistance from the Biden Administration are useful for indiscriminately showering down upon civilians, but the primary weapon of Palestinian terrorists is propaganda. It is effective only because our ruling class is eager to believe and even propagate it.

If we were all as willfully gullible and morally unmoored as liberal journalists, Democrat pols, and some college students, by now our government would be directly rewarding terrorist atrocities with $100 million bonuses. Oh wait…

Oregon Drops Math and Reading Requirements

If you want to get through life with no effort and have everyone else pay for everything, the Democrat Party is for you, provided you can’t see very far ahead. Under Democrat rule, you don’t have to pay your rent. You may not have to pay your utilities bill. You don’t have to pay your student loans. In Oregon, you don’t even have to learn math or how to read:

Gov. Kate Brown, the Oregon Democrat, signed a bill last month with little fanfare that drops the requirement that high school students prove proficiency in reading, writing or math before graduation, a report said.

“With little fanfare” is putting it mildly. Signing the bill into law was not made public until recently. It’s almost as if even Kate Brown knows enough to be ashamed of what Democrats are doing to the country.

The suspension of requirements is for 3 years, but could last as long as 5 years, at which time it may be extended, if legislators still remember what the word “math” means. As with the moratoriums on paying rent and student loans, Covid was the original pretext.

Charles Boyle, the deputy communications director from Brown’s office … said that the new standards for graduation will help benefit the state’s “Black, Latino, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, Tribal, and students of color.”

Among liberals, you can justify anything by pretending it advantages people who are not hated whites.

The bad news for lazy students is that the communist ChiComs are not suspending their math and reading requirements. Eventually, Americans will have to go to the trouble to learn Chinese, so as to be able to follow orders.

DeSantis Gives Police Bonuses

Backlash against Trump was largely responsible for putting Biden’s handlers in power. This backlash was predictable, considering the 4 years of total war waged against him by the media and Trump’s knack for rubbing people the wrong way. However, personality and excessive spending aside, he was not a bad president. Things were going great before Covid. In contrast, Biden has been a cataclysmically awful president, ham-fistedly forcing through unprecedented wasteful spending and policies that only a kook could fail to be appalled by. After what he is doing to the country sinks in, backlash against the backlash ought to be massive.

The adorant media can prop up Biden’s approval numbers to just over 50%, but not indefinitely. The response to his maliciously anti-American rule will be a tsunami of patriotism. Surfing high atop this wave will be Ron DeSantis.

While the Democrats stampede each other in their hurry to plunge off a cliff into sheer moonbattery, DeSantis moves resolutely in the opposite direction:

DeSantis announced on Wednesday that his administration is giving $1,000 bonuses to all of Florida’s 174,000 first responders, including law enforcement officers, paramedics, emergency medical technicians (EMTs), and firefighters.

The move by DeSantis, a rising star in the Republican Party, comes after far-left Democrats across the U.S. repeatedly called for defunding the police last year, and have this year gone as far as to call for abolishing policing and ending the incarceration system in the United States.

If anyone deserves a bonus, it is police. Due to the propaganda war the mainstream media/Democratic Party axis of evil has been waging against them, they have been forced to deal with no end of crap, not to mention increased threat of death. No wonder there is already a shortage of police.

People will get sick of cities degenerating into jungles because the liberal ruling class sides with criminals against the police. They will get sick of repressive Covid restrictions that serve no sane purpose. They will get sick of taxes shooting through the stratosphere and their savings depleted by inflation so that vast fortunes can be shamelessly wasted. They will get sick of their children being indoctrinated to hate themselves for their race and to hate their country. They will get sick of Democrats and be ready for DeSantis.
