Omar: 'Jews call us anti-Semitic because we're Muslim'

Actually no, you are called anti-Semites because you hate Jews.

Rep. Ilhan Omar is widely known as an anti-Semite, not because she is a Muslim but because she openly hates Israel, hangs out with known terrorism supporters, doesn't believe in a two-state solution and says anti-Semitic things. Her being a Muslim has nothing to do with her mental status.

Omar has been widely slammed for a crap-load of anti-Semitic tweets but tries to deflect her hatred by claiming those who point out, you know, those "Jooze," are the problem because they only make those claims because she is a Muslim. Omar seems to apologize every other day about her anti-Semitic statements--she can't help herself.

“A lot of our Jewish colleagues . . . think that everything we say about Israel is anti-Semitic because we are Muslim,” claimed fresh face fascist Omar at a “Progressive Issues Town Hall” in Washington, D.C., referring to herself and Palestinian-American congresswoman Rashida Tlaib. the latter who referred to President Donald Trump as a "motherf***er" as her young son stood by her side and her sycophants cheered.

Tlaib also called Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) a racist because at the House hearing with Michael Cohen he brought a black Trump employee in to attest to her belief that President Trump is not a racist. She referred to the black woman as a "prop," and Meadows pointed out that to call her that is itself racist and that he has family members of color. It was also noted that he and House Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings are best friends [Cummings is black and it was Cummings, a Democrat, who made this fact known.]

Tlaib then claimed she was not calling Meadows a racist after she called him a racist.

Omar claimed people [especially those Jooze] who point out her obvious anti-Semitism are merely attempting to “end the debate,” a tactic she uses when pressed by opposition opinion.

This is a common accusation by anti-Israel, anti-Semitic bloviators when they are called out for mixing in tropes of Jew-hatred with criticism of the Jewish state.

Omar has been dogged by anti-Semitism accusations based on tweets in which she said that “evil Israel” had “hypnotiz[ed] the world,” that Israel is an “apartheid” state, and that pro-Israel voices in Congress are paid shills of AIPAC.

She has also called upon Allah to intervene on behalf of her anti-Semitism, which might explain the conflation of her thinking that Jews only see her as anti-Semitic because she is on a jihad to "kill them wherever [you] find them."

Trump walks from talks

Unlike naive presidents before him, President Trump abruptly walked away from negotiations with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Hanoi, Vietnam. He is now headed back to Washington on Thursday afternoon.

Trump said the U.S. is unwilling to meet Kim's demand of lifting all sanctions on the North Korea regime without first securing a meaningful commitment to denuclearization, not of the Korean peninsula, but of North Korea itself.

Trump said the U.S. asked Kim Jong Un to do more regarding his intentions to denuclearize and “he was unprepared to do that,” which should remove all doubt that "Rocket Man" will continue to develop nuclear weapons. At least Trump isn't being fooled like Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.

“Sometimes you have to walk,” Trump said, taking a page from his book "The Art of the Deal."

The president said that the summit crashed after the North demanded a full removal of U.S.-led international sanctions in exchange for the shuttering of the North's Yongbyon nuclear facility. 

Not to be tricked, Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told reporters that the United States wasn't willing to make a deal without Kim committing to giving up the North's secretive nuclear facilities outside Yongbyon as well as its missile and warheads program.

CNN's Jim "Dear Diary" Acosta was secretly pleased over the failure to come to an agreement. Leftists would rather see Trump fail than have peace in the world.

According to Mike Pompeo, while the talks ended, still things were accomplished and explained that the process is slow.

The president told reporters that Kim promised he would not resume nuclear and missile testing and Trump said he was taking Kim’s word for it, but Kim may have crossed his fingers behind his back. 

Trump added that the current U.S. sanctions were still in place and sadly grass will remain a salad staple in North Korea until Kim comes around to honor the terms the U.S. has put forward regarding denuclearization.

The second face-to-face meeting between Trump and Kim wrapped up much earlier than expected, and the White House announced ahead of the news conference that no agreement had been reached between the two leaders. There was to be a signing ceremony but it has been called off.

Regardless, Sarah Sanders described the meetings between Trump and Kim as “very good and constructive.”

As for a potential third summit, Trump remained noncommittal.

Kim had signaled during an earlier, unprecedented question-and-answer session with reporters that he is "ready to denuclearize," reaffirming a commitment long sought by the Trump administration and the international community.

“If I’m not willing to do that, I won’t be here right now,” Kim said through an interpreter.

"That's a good answer," Trump replied sophomorically.

A working lunch consisting of cheeseburgers and fries was supposed to get underway between Trump and Kim on Thursday afternoon, but it never happened.

On what appears to be a positive note, history may have been made when Kim answered questions from a foreign journalist -- almost certainly for the first time ever "in the history of the world," Trump said.

Asked by a member of the White House press pool about his outlook for Thursday's summit, Kim said: "It's too early to say. I won't make predictions. But I instinctively feel that a good outcome will be produced."

South Korea's Unification Ministry, which deals in affairs with North Korea, couldn't confirm whether it was the first time Kim answered a question from a foreign journalist.

Meanwhile, the left is scrambling to find talking points to discredit Trump's efforts to make peace with North Korea. With so many media outlets in the mix, there should be no doubting that they will come up with something soon. 

The Michael Cohen testimony apparently did little or nothing to hurt President Trump, and in some ways has exonerated him, but for the left at least, it served as a distraction to much more important news. That's the point.

BREAKING: Va. Gov's wife handed cotton to black students: 'imagine being enslaved'

He may have worn blackface or dressed in a KKK outfit, or maybe he just sanctioned the photo in his medical school yearbook, but Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam got in a little trouble over this but the press used their goldfish-like attention span when it comes to Democrats, and focused on the evil yellow haired person in the White House. The press never delved into Northam's agreeing to infanticide, a new low for his party. It was "take down Trump" time again.

But now Northam's wife, Pam, is a little bit of trouble that the press will likely minimize or distract the public from what she allegedly did.

Northam's wife allegedly handed raw cotton to black students during a tour of the governor's mansion last week and told them to imagine being slaves and being forced to pick the cotton.

But the press will say that at least she didn't have them sing a round of "I'm Gonna Jump Down Turn Around and Pick a Bail o' Cotton."

The bird cage liner known as The Washington Post reported that the allegation came from a Virginia state employee who said that "her eighth-grade daughter was upset during a tour of the historic governor’s residence when first lady Pam Northam handed raw cotton to her and another African American child and asked them to imagine being enslaved and having to pick the crop."

Un-freaking-believable!

"The Governor and Mrs. Northam have asked the residents of the Commonwealth to forgive them for their racially insensitive past actions," said Leah Dozier Walker, the Director of Equity and Engagement at Virginia's Education Department, in a letter to lawmakers on Monday. 

"But the actions of Mrs. Northam, just last week, do not lead me to believe that this Governor’s office has taken seriously the harm and hurt they have caused African Americans in Virginia or that they are deserving of our forgiveness," she added.

Virginia's first couple are blithering idiots with the semitic sensitivity of Louis Farrakhan. 

"But at least she didn't do the 'Moon Walk,'" the press will say [unlike Ralph who was ready to do just that at a press conference when his wife stopped him.]

The tour, which took place last Thursday, involved a "traditional gathering of about 100 young people who had served as pages during the state Senate session."

Northam took groups of pages to an area that served as a kitchen and held up raw cotton in front of over a dozen pages and described the slaves who were forced to pick the cotton.

"Mrs. Northam then asked these three pages [the only black pages in attendance] if they could imagine what it must have been like to pick cotton all day," Walker said in her letter. "I can not for the life of me understand why the first lady would single out the African American pages for this — or — why she would ask them such an insensitive question."

Perhaps she's simply simple. Yeah, that's the ticket.

On a positive note, at least the Northam's share the same values, the press will say.

TN guy dips his badoodles in customer's salsa

A Tennessee cretin was arrested for allegedly dipping his "boys" into a restaurant customer's salsa, giving a whole new meaning to the term "double-dipping."

Howard Webb, 31, was with a driver for Dinner Delivered, a food delivery service, on Jan. 12 when he allegedly put his peludo bolas in an order of salsa that a customer had ordered from a Mexican restaurant in Maryville, according to WBIR-TV.

Webb, in a video published by the news station, is seen seemingly putting "frick and frack" in a cup of salsa. Someone else in the vehicle, identified as the delivery driver, is heard giggling and saying: "This is what you get when you give an 89-cents tip for an almost-30-minute drive."

Question: if the food had not yet been delivered, how did he know the customer would leave an 89-cent tip? Or was it because a previous customer stiffed him? [No pun intended]

"Oh, it feels good on my [testicles,]" Webb replies delightfully.

Dinner Delivered addressed the video on Facebook, writing that the driver Webb was with was a "rogue independent contractor," and in no way does putting one's "wedding tackle" in our salsa a practice we condone.

The unidentified food delivery driver engaged in criminal behavior that has resulted in indecent acts performed to customer orders, as well as unverified claims of inserting poisonous substances inside customer drinks," the company said.

The delivery service wrote that it reported the driver to law enforcement authorities.

Webb was busted [no pun intended] on Friday and charged with adulteration of food, liquids or pharmaceuticals, according to the WBIR-TV.

Thankfully, the customer did not order bechamel sauce for the shrimp.

Anti-Semite Corbyn and his party oppose ban on Hezbollah

Jeremy "Crap-Weasel" Corbyn's, Labour Party see no need to take any action to ban the internationally recognized terrorist group Hezbollah in spite of their reputation. The British Labour Party opposes plans by the government to ban the Iranian-backed terrorist organization Hezbollah in its entirety.

The Anti-Semitic Labour Party charged that Home Secretary Sajid Javid has failed to produce “any clear evidence” why the group should be outlawed, The Jewish Chronicle reported.

Instead, a Labour spokesperson asserted that Hezbollah is “part of the democratically elected Lebanese government” and charged the decision was motivated by Javid’s “leadership ambitions,” rather than the blatant anti-Zionist, anti-Semitism of the Party.

Crap Weasel Jeremy Corbyn, the head of the British Labour Party, infamously once referred to Hezbollah as his “friends” and marched with Hezbollah sympathizers on Al Quds Day in London because he cannot prove the degree to which he sucks and has a large following of fellow suckers.

At a time when London has been bending over backwards to accommodate the demands of their Muslim population, anti-Semitic hate crimes in the U.K. are at an all-time high.

In a move that infuriated Labour lawmakers, Corbyn imposed only a one-line whip on the vote that takes place in parliament Tuesday night, meaning that lawmakers – including Corbyn – are under no obligation to vote on the order proscribing Hezbollah in its entirety.

Word on the street has it that Corbyn is a secret sex slave of Hassan Nasrallah, but this is just rumor and there is no indication that this is true or, on the other hand, false.

Labour’s statement comes after Javid announced on Monday that the whole of Hezbollah is to become a banned terrorist group in Britain. Parts of the Lebanese-based organization have been proscribed since 2001, with its military wing banned since 2008. The changes are expected to take effect on Friday.

In its explanation of the decision, the Home Office said it can no longer distinguish between the group’s military and political wings. It said Hezbollah “continues to amass weapons in direct contravention of UN Security Council Resolutions, putting the security of the region at risk.”

Another rumor has it that Corbyn has already made plans and has his "go-bag" packed should the winds of change blow toward Mecca. He is also planning to get circumcised, just to be on the safe side.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo praised the British decision and said on Twitter that it showed “international unity to confront Iran’s regime continues to grow.

“This Iran-sponsored terrorist group has American blood on its hands & continues to plot & carry out attacks in the Mideast, Europe & around the world,” he added.

Israel’s foreign minister also commented on the move and [laughingly] called upon the United Nations to follow suit. “I would like to praise the British government on the decision to recognize the entire Hezbollah organization as a terrorist organization,” Israel Katz posted on Twitter.

The chances of the UN following suit to ban Hezbollah is as likely as a transgender woman from Idaho being hit by a meteor in Times Square while cashing in a winning Power Ball ticket at 3:12 p.m. on a Tuesday in January.

Kamala Harris wants to decriminalize prostitution

Sen. Kamala Harris knows a thing or two about sex for pay--she made her way on up from prosecutor to the Senate by having a sexual relationship with a married politician, Willie Brown--now she wants to decriminalize prostitution. This is her way of using smoke and mirrors to distract from her past as a prosecutor, a profession seen as more repugnant than prostitution.

Speaking with The Root, the sex-for-advancement senator said she supports the decriminalization of prostitution, while adding a few additional qualifiers.

"There is an ecosystem around that includes crimes that harm people, and for those issues, I do not believe that anybody who hurts another human being or profits off of their exploitation should be free of criminal prosecution," the pay for play senator said. "But when you’re talking about consenting adults, we should consider that we can’t criminalize consensual behavior."

According to HuffPost, Harris' comments are in response to the prostitution community accusing her of conflating whoring with sex trafficking. 

In her 2009 book, "Smart on Crime," Harris even said that prostitutes should be arrested. "Smart always starts with enforcing the law ― we must arrest the prostitutes as well as the pimps and the johns," she wrote at the time. But now that she's a 2020 presidential hopeful, she is prostituting her ideals to pander to a slimier audience.

"There are lots of good reasons to root for Kamala Harris," wrote Melissa Petro, a former prostitute who labels herself a 'sex worker,' in The Establishment in 2017. "But the fact that Harris was an active force behind a campaign that endangered the lives of sex workers makes it understandably difficult for people with experiences in the sex trades to throw her our support."

Sen. Harris recently voted in support of the Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act, a piece of legislation that some prostitutes said unfairly confused their behavior with that of sex traffickers.

Kristen DiAngelo, executive director of the Sex Workers Outreach Project, told HuffPost that Kamala Harris' supposed shift on the decriminalization of sex workers is an empty promise.

"My take on it is that we are actually starting to do some damage to her campaign ... so she had to change her stance," DiAngelo said. "But do I think she believes it? No."

It is believed that Harris, in the course of her race for the 2020 presidential nomination for the Democrat Party, has actually told the truth on two occasions: when she said that she smoked pot, and when she admitted that she inhaled.

"Even her laughter is bumpaclots," said Mahbone Bakala, a former rap artist and radio icon for WBSHT. "She say she listen to Tupac and Snoop Dog in college, mon, but dey not be dewin rap till later den," he told Brain Flushing's Vinny Boombots.

Harris has been working tirelessly, perhaps even to her detriment, to distance herself from her prosecution roots. Writing at The New York Times, Lara Bazelon criticized her for falsely portraying herself as a "progressive prosecutor."

"She's more like a progressive prostituter," someone once said. "She'll pander to anyone who'll bite."

As San Francisco’s district attorney from 2004 to 2011, Harris was criticized in for withholding information about a police laboratory technician who had been accused of "intentionally sabotaging" her work and stealing drugs from the lab. After a memo surfaced showing that Harris’s deputies knew about the technician’s wrongdoing and recent conviction, but failed to alert defense lawyers, a judge condemned Ms. Harris’s indifference to the systemic violation of the defendants’ constitutional rights.

Otherwise, aside from being a dishonest, panderer and sex trade worker for career advancement, she's fine.

Bernie's campaign is experiencing 'shrinkage'

Socialist Bernard Sanders' presidential campaign is undergoing shrinking pains after several top advisers are abandoning ship, merely one week after the Brooklyn bawn Vermont senator launched his second attempt for the White House.

The high level staff who previously helped the old socialist move forward in his 2016 presidential bid are: Tad Devine [no relation to Andy Devine who you "Boomers" may remember played Jingles in "The Adventures of Wild Bill Hickok"], Julian Mulvey and Mark Longabaugh, according to the campaign.

Sanders 2020 campaign manager Faiz Shakir said in a statement to Fox News that "the campaign appreciates all the good work DML has done and wishes them well." DML is the name of the political consulting firm headed up by Devine, Mulvey and Longabaugh.

"The entire firm has stepped away. We're leaving the campaign … We just didn't have a meeting of the minds,” Longabaugh told NBC News. What he may have meant was that Sanders' love of socialism, his refusal to call for Venezuela's dictator Nicolas Maduro to step down, and the fact that he is going along with the left's latest infanticide craze, is just too crazy even for them.

Devine, a veteran political strategist who was a top adviser to the presidential campaigns of then-Vice President Al "Fahrenheit Rising" Gore in 2000 and then-Sen. John "Hair Plugs" Kerry in 2004, served as Sanders’ chief strategist and leading surrogate in 2016.

Sanders was a long shot for the 2016 Democratic nomination, but he buried Hillary "Bleach Bit" Clinton by 22 percentage points in the New Hampshire Democratic primary. The win launched the Marxist maven into a marathon battle with the the nation's worst eventual nominee that didn’t end until after the primary and caucus calendar concluded. After that point, Sanders went on to kiss the large butt of Mrs. Clinton as he traveled the country singer her praise in his Brooklyn accent.

On Monday, Sanders’ campaign sought to demonstrate the enthusiasm for his campaign by reporting that 1 million people had already signed up to volunteer. As of Monday, six days after his campaign launch, the socialist cum Commie also had raised a staggering $10 million from almost 360,000 donors. Those numbers put him far ahead of his rivals for the nomination in the race for campaign cash.

Not bad for a guy who never worked a real job in his life.

But Sanders drew the ire of the shrew, Hillary Clinton, She leaked details about Sanders' use of private jets in 2016 to attend campaign rallies on her behalf. How very sweet of her.

That provoked Sanders’ 2016 campaign spokesman, Michael Briggs, to tell Politico that Clinton’s staff are the "biggest a**holes in American politics," adding that Clinton is “one of the most disliked politicians in America.”

Exactly so.

Dems block 'born alive' bill that would provide care to babies of failed murder attempts

I honestly don't know how some people can live with themselves. One day society is going to look back at our history and see us as savages who would murder our own children. Most animals don't do that, particularly animals with a fully developed frontal cortex, but we do. At least the far-left does.

Senate Democrats on Monday blocked a Republican bill that would have called for prison time for abortion doctors who don't attempt life saving procedures of infants born alive during failed attempts at murdering them.

How is this appealing to leftist voters?

All prominent Democratic 2020 presidential animals in the Senate voted down the measure, including socialist Bernie Sanders of Vermont, Kamala "I Slept My Way On Up" Harris of California, Cory "Spartacus" Booker of New Jersey, Kirsten "I Go All Ways" Gillibrand of New York, Amy "Wash This" Klobuchar of Minnesota and Elizabeth "Dances With Bull" Warren of Massachusetts. The final vote was 53-44 to end Democratic delaying tactics -- seven votes short of the 60 needed.

Three Democrats supported the Republican bill -- Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Bob Casey of Pennsylvania and Doug Jones or Alabama. Three Republicans did not vote, due to scheduling conflicts and plane flight delays: Kevin Cramer of North Dakota, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Tim Scott of South Carolina.

The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act would have required that "any health care practitioner present" at the time of a birth "exercise the same degree of professional skill, care, and diligence to preserve the life and health of the child as a reasonably diligent and conscientious health care practitioner would render to any other child born alive at the same gestational age."

It's a baby. A child is born and you don't stand there and allow he or she to die.

President Trump tweeted:

Senate Democrats just voted against legislation to prevent the killing of newborn infant children. The Democrat position on abortion is now so extreme that they don’t mind executing babies AFTER birth.... 

....This will be remembered as one of the most shocking votes in the history of Congress. If there is one thing we should all agree on, it’s protecting the lives of innocent babies.

Yes, we're talking about innocent babies. There is simply no excuse for not passing this bill. None, because it isn't tied into another bill, it stands alone.

The bill, which exempted the mother involved in the birth from prosecution, also would have required practitioners to "ensure that the child born alive is immediately transported and admitted to a hospital." 

The bill prescribed a possible term of imprisonment of up to five years for violations, not including penalties for first-degree murder that could have applied.

Aside from Trump, other Republicans also couldn't believe the Democrat's refusal to agree to these terms. "I want to ask each and every one of my colleagues whether or not we're OK with infanticide," said the bill's chief sponsor, Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE).

Sasse spoke to Fox News' "The Story" after the vote, saying that he was "surprised" at each vote against the bill, and charged that opponents had lied "constantly" with "blatant nonsense" about the legislation -- specifically, by claiming the bill "would end abortion" entirely.

"This is about the most simple thing you can say, which is that a baby is a baby, and they have dignity and worth," Sasse said. "And it's not because they're powerful. It's because they're babies. Today is a sad day in the United States Senate."

Sasse added, "This shouldn't be about politics. ... This should be about having heart."

A panel of people who survived abortions

This should be about having even a modicum of morality.

Other pro-life activists called on the 44 senators who voted against Sasse's bill to resign immediately.

“Senators who could not bring themselves to vote to pass the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act should reconsider whether or not they have what it takes to serve," March for Life President Jeanne Mancini said in an understatement. 

"Senator Sasse’s common sense bill would merely require doctors assist a newborn struggling to survive after a failed attempt on her life. Anyone who lacks the basic level of human compassion needed to vote in favor of this should quickly find another job. We look forward to a vote in the House of Representatives so that Chamber can get on record as well.”

Opponents, noting the rarity of such births and citing laws already making it a crime to kill newborn babies, said the bill was unnecessary. But they still refused to sign it anyway.

They said it was part of a push by abortion opponents to curb access to the procedure and intimidate doctors who perform it, and said late-term abortions generally occur when the infant is considered incapable of surviving after birth.

“This bill is just another line of attack in the ongoing war on women’s health,” New Hampshire Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen said on the Senate floor.

Women's health? How? That's nonsense and a lie.

Sasse introduced the legislation after Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, (D) endorsed post-birth abortions while discussing The Repeal Act, a state bill which sought to repeal restrictions on third-trimester abortions. Northam made headlines when his medical school yearbook had a photo of him in either blackface of a KKK outfit, which he apologized for then later denied.

Virginia Democratic Del. Kathy Tran, a cold blooded sponsor of that post-birth abortion bill, was asked at a hearing if a woman about to give birth and dilating could still request an abortion.

"My bill would allow that, yes,” Tran said. Northam, in a later interview with a radio station, backed up Tran. Both Northam and Tran clearly have the morals of mother crabs which eats their babies.

"When we talk about third-trimester abortions, these are done with the consent of, obviously, the mother, with the consent of the physicians, more than one physician, by the way," Northam said, referring to abortion doctors who get paid to kill babies. "And, it's done in cases where there may be severe deformities, there may be a fetus that's non-viable." 

Or just for the hell of it.

Northam continued: "So, in this particular example, if a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen. The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that's what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother. So, I think this was really blown out of proportion."

It's so thoughtful to keep the INFANT comfortable before you kill it.

If you don't think this is evil, then I am at a loss for words.

UPDATE: Jorge Ramos of Univision and his team detained then released in Venezuela

UPDATE: The Univision team along with Jorge Ramos has been released and later released.

Daniel Coronell, president of news for Univision in the U.S., tweeted just prior to 9 p.m. ET on Monday that Ramos and his team were released, but their technical equipment, along with interview material that dictator Maduro disliked, were confiscated.

The State Department confirmed on Twitter that Ramos and his team "are being held against their will at Miraflores Palace by Nicolas Maduro," and urged him to immediately release them.

Ramos, according to Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., was seemingly able to call Univision to explain what was happening "when the phone was taken from him & the call ended."



Univision anchor Jorge Ramos and his media team have been detained in Caracas, Venezuela. According to the network's Monday night tweet, Ramos was interviewing disputed President Nicolas Maduro and the dictator evidently "didn't like the questions" Ramos was asking during the interview."

Ramos and other members of the Univision crew were "arbitrarily detained at the Miraflores Palace," officials wrote online. It was not immediately clear how many others were detained with the Trump foe, Ramos. According to the network, the crew's technical equipment was confiscated.

The State Department confirmed on Twitter that Ramos and his team "are being held against their will at Miraflores Palace by Nicolas Maduro."

Kimberly Breier of the State Department tweeted:

.@StateDept has received word the journalist @jorgeramosnews and his team are being held against their will at Miraflores Palace by Nicolas Maduro. We insist on their immediate release; the world is watching. #Venezuela

Ramos, according to Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) was apparently able to phone Univision to tell them what was going on "when the phone was taken from him and the call ended."

Rubio visited the Colombia border city of Cucuta last week and warned Venezuelan soldiers that they would commit a "crime against humanity" if they blocked the entry of U.S. aid being channeled through rivals of Maduro.

The Trump administration and other nations have demanded Maduro step down and have Juan Guaido, the recognized opposition leader, take over as rightful leader. Maduro had begun his second term as dictator in January, and is not recognized as legitimate.

Hopefully, President Trump and his people will be able to convince Maduro to let our people go--so that Ramos can return home and be Trump's pain in the butt once again.

AOC: Like people maybe kinda shouldn't reproduce onnaconna the climate and stuff

Socialist for the Democratic Party Rep. Alexandria Obviously-Communist (D-NY) while cooking veggies on Instagram suggested that due to the global climate crisis in the world, [in which she declared herself the boss in handling it], should maybe not, like, have children "onnaconna because there is, like, a 'scientific consensus' that life will be too hard for kids if they go outside to play."

The low-information millennial pontificated and bloviated while cutting up a head of some sort of veggie with a knife that looked like it came from the movie
"Psycho," and said:

"Our planet is going to hit disaster if we don't turn this ship around and so it's basically like, there's a scientific consensus that the lives of children are going to be very difficult, And it does lead, I think, young people to have a legitimate question, you know, 'Is it okay to still have children?'"

This coming from a person whose college degree was in economics and still doesn't understand how a tax deferment works, among other things. And let's remember, she's willing to kill babies right before they're born, maybe even after.

Unable to take any level of criticism, Obviously-Communist then took a shot at Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) over an incident that happened in Feinstein's office on Friday when a far-left fringe group tried to pressure Feinstein into supporting the Green New Deal. Actually, many people who saw those kids may have thought that she was amongst them, or was the teacher who was using them as props.

"You know what’s interesting about this group?" Feinstein told the group on Friday, in response to the group storming into her office. "I’ve been doing this for 30 years. I know what I’m doing."

"You come in here, and you say it has to be my way or the highway. I don’t respond to that," Feinstein continued. "I’ve gotten elected, I just ran. I was elected by almost a million-vote plurality. And I know what I’m doing. So you know, maybe people should listen a little bit."

Obviously-Communist said Feinstein's response was "like not good enough" because the legislation that the Democrats support is "frankly going to kill us," she said nonchalantly as she like butchered a head of something.

"This idea that 'I've been working on this for x-amount of years,' um, it's like not good enough," the idiot in lipstick said. "Like, we need a universal sense of urgency, and people are like trying to introduce watered-down proposals that are frankly going to kill us. A lack of urgency is going to kill us."

"The issue has gotten worse," the rich, power-hungry socialist blubbered. "So I don't think that working on an issue for 30 years alone is what qualifies as, as what someone qualified to solve an issue."

But being a 29-year-old former bartender, with no other real life experience other than living with her mother for the previous two years or so, and who obviously has a bad relationship with facts, numbers and morality, knows what's best for us: her being the boss and having the power to save the world from a climate that will kill us all in twelve years.

Guys run faster than girls, even when they think they're 'girls'

A male with long hair

High school boys Terry Miller and Andraya Yearwood took first and second place respectively in the state open indoor track championships Feb. 16,

Both Miller and Yearwood are boys who believe they are girls so it's okay to beat them in sports.

One of their competitors, high school junior Selina Soule, told the AP it was unfair to force female runners to compete against male runners, which of course, is true. Males are biologically faster and stronger than girls in general and have an advantage in competitive sports such as track and field.

“We all know the outcome of the race before it even starts; it’s demoralizing,” said Soule. “I fully support and am happy for these athletes for being true to themselves. They should have the right to express themselves in school, but athletics have always had extra rules to keep the competition fair.”

I also fully support their delusions--well, maybe not support their delusions but understand that for them, their delusions feel real. But let's not pretend that transgenderism is normal. It isn't statistically normal nor is it normal in terms of mental health. If it was, the suicide rates and attempted suicides would not be as disproportionally higher than the norm.

Miller is the third-faster runner in the country in the girls’ 55-meter dash. Yearwood is close behind, tied for seventh nationally. This is due to the fact that they are fast, and they are not girls.

Miller and Yearwood’s success is just the latest instance of male athletes, who identify as transgender, excelling in women’s sports. 

Because they aren't women.

What's next? Will Rachel Dolezal compete in the Miss Black America Competition? Will Snoop Dog enter the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show?

A sympathetic segment on ABC’s “Good Morning America” in June 2018 described the two runners as “dominating the competition” at the outdoor state championships earlier that month.

In that interview, Miller argued that female runners should work harder, rather than complaining about unfairness, when forced to compete against male athletes who identify as transgender. He really has a big set on him to say that. How does he do when running against his fellow male runners?

Yearwood acknowledged being stronger than female runners to the AP, but compared it to advantages other athletes might have from perfecting their form or doing extra training sessions, which is an unfair comparison because in his case, he's born with the advantage, in the other case, the advantage is worked at.

The country has evidently lost its collective mind with being "woke."

Kamala Harris not concerned about our money for GND cost

Democratic presidential Kamala Harris is not concerned about your money when it comes to funding the Green New Deal and "Medicare-for-all." It isn't her money and as far as she's concerned, white folks can fork it over and even pay reparations to black Americans for "200 years of slavery," Harris said, as if it was still going on.

The estimated costs for all the crazy proposals, including getting rid of farting cows, gas-driven cars and planes, and our use of all fossil fuels in the next ten years, are estimated to be in the neighborhood of trillions of dollars for each unprecedented proposal, as determined by a nonpartisan study.

Harris, (D-CA) joined Sens. Elizabeth Warren, (D-MA), and Cory Booker, (D-NJ) to co-sponsor the Green New Deal resolution earlier this month. 

The resolution's botched rollout included the release of an official document by New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's [aka Alexandria Occasionally Coherent-Commie] office that promised economic security even for those "unwilling to work," as well as the elimination of "farting cows" and air travel.

Brilliant.

"There's no question we have to be practical. But being practical also recognizes that climate change is an existential threat to us as human beings," Harris bloviated. "Being practical recognizes that greenhouse gas emissions are threat to our air, and threatening our planet. And that it is well within our capacity as human beings to change our behaviors in a way that we can reduce its effect. That's practical. Of course we can afford it."

So we're back to considering Ocasio-Cortez's farting cows because they release methane, a greenhouse gas.

NASA methane in the atmosphere: 

Methane is a hydrocarbon gas that is produced via natural sources and human activities, including the decomposition of wastes in landfills, agriculture, and especially rice cultivation as well as ruminant digestion and manure management associated with domestic livestock. On a molecule-for-molecule basis, methane is a far more active greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, but also one which is much less abundant in the atmosphere. [My italics]

But if the U.S. only accounts for 15 percent of global emissions while India and China account for a much larger amount, then we must consider bombing the crap out of their coal mines to save the planet. 

And let us not forget the reserves in the other top oil producing countries: Saudi Arabia, Russia, Canada, China, Iran, Iraq, the UAE, Brazil and Kuwait. If we stop producing oil, these other nations will fill the vacuum to grow their economies. We need to bomb the crap out of them lest America take a back seat to the world economy. 

Okay, maybe not Canada, eh, but the others for sure. After all, Harris and AOC know that we have a mere twelve years before the world comes to an end and we want to enjoy the two years left if we can implement the GND.

The Comedy News Network's John King asked Harris, the former California prosecutor who screwed her way to the Senate, for her response to conservative arguments that progressive proposals could end up doing more harm than good, by crippling the U.S. economy.

According to the Mercatus Center at George Washington University, for example, the economically illiterate Ocasio-Cortez's plan for universal Medicare would end up costing more than $30 trillion, even after factoring in the sweeping tax hikes that would offset the expense by only roughly $2 trillion. 

Charles Blahous, a senior strategist at the Mercatus Center and an author of the study, later explained that AOC had wildly misinterpreted his study to try to argue that "Medicare-for-all" would save money, because she is better at mixing a Manhattan than representing Queens and the Bronx.

"One of the things that I admire and respect is the measurement that is captured in three letters: ROI," Harris said. "What's the return on investment? People in the private sector understand this really well. It's not about a cost. It's about an investment. And then the question should be, is it worth the cost in terms of the investment potential? Are we going to get back more than we put in?"

You can't invest more than what you have. We'd end up printing more money or borrowing. If you increase the national debt to the degree necessary to even begin to consider this ridiculous idea, we would GND ourselves in a totally bankrupt economy. No country would honor our money or want to do business with us.

The Green New Deal push has seen resistance not only from Republicans, but also some key Democrats. Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI), was asked about the plan to replace planes with high-speed rail and did not seem impressed.

“That would be pretty hard for Hawaii,” she laughed, because it's a stupidly naive idea.

House Speaker Nancy "Dancing Hands" Pelosi similarly appeared to dismiss the plan because Californians live in their cars.

“It will be one of several or maybe many suggestions that we receive,” Pelosi told Politico. “The green dream, or whatever they call it, nobody knows what it is, but they’re for it, right?”

"The Green New Deal? I see it as aspirational. I see it as a jump-start," Amy "Ranch Dressing" Klobuchar said on "Special Report with Bret Baier" earlier this month. "So I would vote yes [on the Green New Deal resolution], but I would also -- if it got down to the nitty-gritty of an actual legislation, as opposed to, 'Oh, here's some goals we have' -- uh, that would be different for me."

In other words, Klobuchar doesn't want to commit to anything and will dance around most issues and chose the issue most popular at the moment if she choses at all.

But Harris said she was looking forward to hashing out the dispute with her rivals in public, during one of the 12 planned Democratic primary debates. Harris added that she enjoys hashing out issues almost as much as she enjoys hash and listening to Snoop Dog and Tupac.

"I look forward to that debate on the debate stage," Harris said. "I look forward to it very much."

In terms of the 2020 debate, the White House hopes that socialism will be the main issue for the Democrats with their call for higher minimum wage and universal benefits, perhaps even for those who refuse to work. 

But Harris emphasizes that her main concern is the concerns of everyday Americans, excluding white people, who she says should have to pay black people for being black and victimized several hundred years ago by not them. 

The big question is: will former President Obama have to pay his black self reparations by his white self? Will most Americans, those whose families have come to America after slavery still have to pay black Americans whose ancestors had not come to America before slavery? 

The whole question is immoral when you are made to pay for the crimes you didn't personally commit. But let's face it, the whole idea is vote-fodder for the greedy who believe it's okay.

Anti-gun 'Marxist' arrested for allegedly threatening to shoot cops

A self-proclaimed Marxist punk was arrested in Washington state on charges of violently threatening law enforcement officers on social media, a brilliant act of covert bravery. In fact, according to Newsweek  Jaydin Ledford, 23, "also claims to speak to the trees"

Ledford posted several messages targeting Washington police, and one included a death threat to Spokane Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich. "Ozzie Knezovich is gonna get a bullet in his skull," Ledford's FB post stated.

The fine, young, communist posted multiple death threats against police after members of the force publicly denounced gun control bill (I-1639) which expands background checks and prohibits anyone under 21 from purchasing a semi-automatic rifle, among other prohibitions. The NRA has filed a lawsuit against the law claiming it's unconstitutional [which it is].

"I=1639 is law. [S]heriffs that are non compliant will be shot. By me," Ledford wrote on Facebook, possibly unaware that NOT shooting law enforcement officials is also the law.

The lad also posted "I really want to kill a police officer."

Sheriff Knezovich said he found the threats "ironic."

"This is an individual who wants to ban guns -- except he wants to kill people," Knezovich said, possibly forgetting that the guy talks to trees.

Anyway, Ledford was arrested on federal charges of cyberstalking.

Newsweek writes:

“According to the statute, cyberstalking includes 'any course of conduct or series of acts taken by the perpetrator on the Internet that place the victim in reasonable fear of death or serious bodily injury, or causes, attempts to cause, or would be reasonably expected to cause substantial emotional distress to the victim or the victim’s immediate family.'"

Sheriff Tony Hawley that Ledford was also charged with harassment and the threats were made known to the sheriff's office by a "concerned citizen."

On Feb. 4, Grant County Sheriff Tom Jones joined more than a dozen of his counterparts from around the state declining to enforce the initiative [of I-1639] until it’s cleared at the federal level.

“I am instructing my deputies not to enforce Initiative 1639 in Grant County while the constitutional validity remains in argument at the federal courts level,” he stated in a release. “I swore an oath to defend our citizens and their constitutionally protected rights. I do not believe the popular vote overrules that.”

If it does pass the federal threshold, Jones said he would partner with his prosecutor’s office “to ensure the best plan moving forward.”

“As long as I am Chief of Police, no Republic police officer will infringe on a citizen’s right to keep and bear arms,” said Republic Police Chief Loren Culp.

AOC plays 'hide-and-seek' with New Yorkers

As Ben Shapiro says about the fresh face of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez [aka Alexandria Obviously-Communist] "so fresh . . . so face." But where is that face of the far-left living in New York? Only the Shadow knows, and perhaps Bernie Sanders.

AOC has no district office and no local phone number, unlike the state’s three other freshman members. She represents the Bronx and Queens but does she still live in the tony Parkchester neighborhood that has been tied to her coming to fame? After all, when she defeated fellow Democrat Rep. Joe Crowley, she accused him of being too "Washington-focused" because he lived in Virginia, but it appears as if she might be doing the same.

Hard to believe a Democrat would be hypocritical--condemning one thing and then doing exactly that which they condemn.

Just kidding. They do it all the time--the Trump wall is the latest example of that after Democrats like Schumer, Obama and Clinton, previously voted for a wall along the southern border and now refuse funding for it or call a wall "immoral."

The New York Post attempted to find out where AOC's New York digs are located but came up empty even after contacting her spokesman, Corbin Trent, four times with specific questions, all of which were ignored. The newspaper did say, however, that AOC had used her deceased father's Bronx condo on her voter registration since 2012, but there's no indication she still lives there.

On Saturday, The Post finally reached Trent by phone.

“We will not be commenting,” he said. Among the queries he refused to answer: Where does the congresswoman live?

On Saturday night, a staffer promised a Post reporter that the socialist congresswoman would talk to him after a speaking event in Corona where she spoke in an annoying voice and said the word "and" as if it had two syllables to make herself sound more important.

“Come downstairs, I have to take a picture quick,” AOC then told the reporter after the event, instructing him to wait for her. Twenty minutes later, she ducked out a back door, jumped into a chauffeured SUV, and quickly drove off.

Ocasio-Cortez was in New York City last weekend and this weekend, with appearances in Queens on both Saturdays — yet she was not seen coming or going from her Parkchester pad either day.

Her apartment’s next-door neighbor said she had never seen Ocasio-Cortez. Another neighbor, who has lived down the hall from the congresswoman’s apartment for the last 40 years, said he’d never seen her or her boyfriend, Riley Roberts, who has claimed the address as his own since last spring.

Could it be that socialists lie?

“I would have remembered,” said the neighbor when shown a photograph of the over-lipsticked Ocasio-Cortez.

Workers at Jerry’s Pizzeria, less than a block from her building, and at the local grocery store said she had never patronized their businesses — and a server at a nearby taqueria said the congresswoman had only come in to be filmed by news crews and pretending to be a local.

A postal worker who delivers mail to the building said that in the last 10 years he has only seen Ocasio-Cortez intermittently, and that several months’ worth of mail regularly accumulates in the mailbox before anyone bothers to collect it. The worker said that Ocasio-Cortez and Roberts were the only ones getting mail at the address.

“Just because their names are on the box doesn’t mean they live there,” he said.

In 2017, when she first filed paperwork to become a congressional candidate, she didn’t even know what district she lived in, mistakenly declaring plans to run for neighboring District 15 before correcting the error days later, but ask her how to mix a Rusty Nail and she'll spit it out like it's second nature.

However, in Washington, D.C.,  the "Princess of Sharing What's Yours" has rented a pad in a deluxe building in the ritzy Navy Yard neighborhood, where studios start at $1,840 a month, according to the Washington Examiner.

Her apartment feature gold-plated amenities like a rooftop infinity pool, a cycling studio with a dozen pricey Pelotons, men’s and women’s saunas, and a golf simulation lounge — but no affordable units for low-income residents, in spite of a local law that requires them, the news site reported. Hopefully, she'll get on the case and make the owners get those low-rentals in.

Since AOC's Trumpian-like defeat over the long-serving Crowley in June’s Democratic primary — a victory that all but guaranteed a general election win in the heavily Democratic District 14 — the expensively dressed congresswoman has failed to open a local office, likely being too busy measuring levels of cow farts and calculating ways to implement her Green New Deal and eliminate progress.

Ocasio-Cortez has made four trips to the city since she was inducted to Congress on Jan. 3, according to a Post review of published reports and social media. Those excursions featured five public events in her district — and three high-profile Manhattan appearances, including a Jan. 21 guest slot on “The Late Show with [former comedian] Stephen Colbert.”

Hopefully, AOC will be a one-term congresswoman along with her anti-Semitic girlfriends, Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. But it's obvious she will run again because for her, socialism pays.

BREAKING: R. Kelly set at $1 Million: charged with 10 counts of criminal sexual assault

Photo: Chicago PD

Chicago -- R. Kelly [aka Robert Kelly] was charged with 10 counts of criminal sexual abuse with at least three underage victims. This comes after rumors and allegations that Kelly was abusing underage girls for decades.

Kelly has denied these allegations and his attorney, Steve Greenberg, told the media "I think all the women are lying." [This will probably not sit well with the Me Too movement.] Greenberg continued, "Mr. Kelly is strong, [he overpowered them?] he's got a lot of support and he's going to be vindicated on all these charges--one by one if it has to be."

Kelly, who allegedly sings songs,  turned himself in Friday night. He arrived at the Central District police station in Chicago in a large, black van and wearing a hoodie and a bright blue coat.

Apparently not only does Jussie Smollett lie, but all the women in Chicago do as well, if you believe Kelly's lawyer.

Kelly is one of the top-selling recording artists of all time. He has won multiple Grammys, including for his hit song "I Believe I Can Fly." It isn't known if he wrote that song while high.

This story is still developing but check back in at Brain Flushings later.

More big names in sex bust announced along with Kraft's

As Sen. Bernie Sanders might say, "It isn't faih that millionaihs and billionaihs of Wawl Shtreet get awl the breaks and get to spend theih money lavishly." He might as well be referring to the latest news cycle [there's one every fifteen minutes, it seems] in which NFL New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and others got caught up in a prostitution bust.

Other big names that we knew existed have now come out in the open from the sex sting. Wall Street financier John Childs, and a former Citigroup president along with a president of a Florida Boys and Girls Club, according to reports.

At the same time, WPEC-TV reported Friday that the probe also nabbed three former law enforcement officers in Indian River County.
"Mugshot for billionaire John Childs, was charged with soliciting a prostitute by the Vero Beach Police Department. "

Childs, another old fart at 77, is the founder of Boston private equity firm J.W. Childs Associates. He was charged with soliciting a prostitute by the Vero Beach Police Department, Bloomberg News reported Friday. He was one of 165 charged in Vero Beach as part of the multi-jurisdiction criminal investigation into Florida "massage" parlors.

Childs, who has a home in Vero Beach, hasn’t been arrested. "I have received no contact by the police department about this charge,” he told Bloomberg via phone. “The accusation of solicitation of prostitution is totally false. I have retained a lawyer.”

Bloomberg News named John Havens, Citigroup’s former president and chief operation officer, in another report, as one of those caught up in the prostitution probe in Palm Beach County.

The names of Havens and Kraft were on a list of 25 men facing charges of soliciting prostitution at a Jupiter, FL, "massage" parlor called Orchids of Asia, according to the news outlet.

The list released by police matches Havens’ date of birth, the news outlet reported.

Havens, 62, resigned as Citigroup president in 2012 after a brief tenure. He is now chairman of Citigroup’s former hedge-fund arm, Napier Park Global Capital, and serves on the board of Money360, a commercial real estate lender, Bloomberg reported. He is not considered a serious stud.

Kraft is facing charges of soliciting a prostitute after he was twice videotaped in a sex act at Orchids of Asia, police said.  He denied any wrongdoing. "Those aren't my parts. That isn't me," Kraft said. "That's my brother, Bill."

Also busted in the lengthy "massage" parlor probe in three Florida counties was Kenneth Wessel, the 75-year-old president of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Indian River County and the John’s Island Foundation, Treasure Coast Newspapers reported Friday.

Wessel, of Vero Beach, was arrested Wednesday on a soliciting prostitution charge and released on $1,000 bond, which he happened to have in his hip pocket.

He was one of 173 people nabbed in the prostitution probe in Indian River County.


Treasure Coast newspapers reported seeking comment from the Indian River County Boys and Girls Club, which provides after-school activities for children and the John’s Island Foundation, which provides grants to local nonprofits.

Court records accuse Wessel of engaging in a sex act with a woman at a place called East Spa in Vero Beach on Dec. 2, 2018. Well, at least she was a woman and not a girl . . . or a guy who identifies as a woman.

"We will be entering a plea of not guilty in this matter," Andrew Metcalf, Wessel's lawyer, told Fox News Saturday. "I would caution officials and media to allow the justice system to take its course and not forget about the fundamental right to the presumption of innocence which has been ignored up to this point."

Hopefully the media will have learned its lesson after the Jussie Smollett hoax, but probably not.

The three former law enforcement officers who are facing charges in the sex probe are Scott ("Tissues") Taylor, 70, a former deputy with the Indian River County Sheriff's Office, Charles ("Chuckles") Thompson, 67, a former Vero Beach cop and Vito ("You Wanna Piece Of Me") Gioia, 54, a former Sebastian cop, WPEC reported.

Based on the ages of those who were caught, perhaps they shouldn't have called it a "massage" parlor but rather a chiropractic office.

5 House Dems blow $60K on a trip to S.Africa for Beyonce concert

There's no better way to advocate for the poor than to stick your privilege in their face, and five Democratic Congressional Black Caucus did just that--they took a $60,000 trip to see Beyoncé and other stars perform in concert in South Africa late last year, according to congressional disclosure records.

The Democrat lawmakers were U.S. Reps. Gregory Meeks of New York, Barbara Lee of California, Bobby Rush of Illinois, Terri Sewell of Alabama and Hank Johnson of Georgia, according to the data.

You sure showed those poor folk how it would be if they could live off of other people's money. Bet you inspired them in their future endeavors.

The lawmakers attended the “Global Citizen Mandela 100” concert from Dec. 1-3 to celebrate the centenary birth of the late Nelson Mandela, [a guy whose supporters used "necklacing" to oppose apartheid] and to raise awareness of global poverty. Beyond Beyoncé, other musical acts included her husband the very talented and foul-mouth Jay Z, Ed Sheeran, Pharrell Williams and Chris Martin.

The hardly Rev. Al Sharptongue also attended the event made possible from money he received race-baiting and lying.

The trip was paid for by Global Citizen, a nonprofit that lobbies for anti-poverty programs around the world, the Washington Examiner reported. The group said the presence of members of Congress at the concert would “showcase America’s ongoing commitment [to] health equality and global human rights.” It also showcases what it means to have the means to fly across the globe to hear people sing and virtue signal.

Other celebrities at the event included Oprah Winfrey and “Daily Show” host Trevor Noah.

The National Legal and Policy Center, a watchdog group, called the trip a “mockery.” [Actually, it was more of an insult to the poor than a mockery, but I can agree with that categorization too.]

"These members of Congress that were given an all-expense paid vacation to party with Oprah, Jay Z, and Beyoncé in South Africa are claiming with a straight face this was needed to help poor children around the world live better lives," Thomas Anderson, president of the NLPC's Government Integrity Project, told the Examiner. "This was in fact, a mockery of House ethics rules on gifts and travel, the truly poor, and all Americans that expect members of Congress to live not only by the letter of the law but by the spirit and intentions of the rules of the House of Representatives."

Yeah, fat chance.

A representative for Sewell said her travel "was pre-approved by the House Ethics Committee [which, if true, tells us something about the "Ethics" Committee] and was not paid for at taxpayer expense" and that "Rep. Sewell and several other members attended the Global Citizen Mandela 100 Festival, a platform for world leaders to speak out against racial injustice and inequity, and voice their support for international assistance for underprivileged populations."

According to the travel itinerary, the congressional members were in South Africa for one full day and used two partial days for travel. The booze list has not been made available.

In January, a group of Democrats was criticized for flying to Puerto Rico for the Congressional Hispanic Caucus BOLD PAC gathering in San Juan, where they also attended a special performance of the Broadway play "Hamilton."

This really is what socialism is like--the people in power stealing from the masses all while claiming moral superiority.
