AOC Opposes Abolishing Senate Because She Still Needs Somewhere To Call Everything 'Jim Crow': here's some facts of which she is oblivious

Not our brightest or best

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez clarified Thursday that she does not support her fellow Democratic Socialists' plan to abolish the U.S. Senate, explaining that it would be far too difficult to eliminate an institution before first accusing it of every historical crime ever committed.

Speaking with reporters on Capitol Hill, the New York congresswoman declined to endorse the Democratic Socialists of America's latest wish list, which includes abolishing the Senate, replacing the presidency with a prime minister, restructuring the judiciary, and apparently seeing how many pages of the Constitution can be fed into a paper shredder before lunch.

"That is, of course, a constitutional question," Ms. Ocasio-Cortez told reporters, acknowledging that even revolutionary manifestos occasionally run into inconvenient details like the Constitution.

While stopping short of supporting the Senate's elimination, Ocasio-Cortez made it clear she still considers the chamber historically suspect.

"We've all got our complaints," she said. "I don't support the filibuster. I don't support elements of this institution that we know were founded on Jim Crow."

[The term 'Jim Crow' comes from a 19th century minstrel show character, Thomas Dartmouth "Daddy" Rice. He performed in blackface [see also Jimmy Kimmel, and Justin Trudeau] singing to "Jump Jim Crow," where he portrayed a stereotypical buffoonish Black man. Thus, the name "Jim Crow" became a derogatory slur for Black people, and by the end of the 19th century it was even applied to the segregation laws. 

After the Civil War and the 13th Amendment ended slavery (1865) Democratic Southern states continued to limit the freedoms of Black people by passing Jim Crow laws (1870s - 1960s). 

When federal troops withdrew from the South in 1877 (as part of the Compromise of 1877 that ended Reconstruction), Southern Democrats regained full control and systematically rolled back Black political and civil rights gained during Reconstruction. By the 1880s to the 1890s the South went nuclear with Jim Crow laws. Public transportation, restaurants, schools, parks, hospitals and restrooms, were segregated. Interracial marriages were outlawed and there were poll taxes, literacy tests, grandfather clauses, and additional roadblocks to disenfranchise Black voters [until they started voting for Democrats].

But by the mid-20th  century, Jim Crow laws began crumbling. In 1954 Brown v. Board of Education was the start, followed by the Montgomery Bus Boycott ignited by Rosa Parks, the sit-ins of the 1960s; the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which banned public segregation and employment discrimination; and finally the 1965 Voting Rights Act that outlawed discriminatory voting practices.

During the entire Jim Crow era, (approximately 1877 to the mid-1960s) it was the Democratic Party's Southern wing that was responsible for creating, passing, defending and enforcing Jim Crow laws.

For example, President Wilson, a Democrat, segregated the federal workforce in 1913. And the Southern Democrats dominated Congress for decades and used seniority and the filibuster to block civil rights legislation; not the Republicans who fought against it. By 1948, Southern Democrats broke away from the Dixiecrat party in order to defend segregation. 

Meanwhile, Republicans were generally supportive of civil rights at this period. So Black voters in the South overwhelmingly supported the GOP in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as national Republicans overwhelmingly opposed Jim Crow measures. 

When the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965 were signed by Democrat Lyndon B. Johnson, it faced strong opposition from Southern Democrats in Congress and it was the Republicans that provided the crucial votes to overcome filibusters. However, this realigned the two parties as the Democrats took credit for both Acts and Black voters in the South, began voting Democratic. 

Bottom line: Jim Crow was a Southern Democratic project. While not every Democrat supported it (especially many Northern ones later on), the political machinery that built and maintained the system was overwhelmingly in Democratic hands in the South for nearly a century.]

Historians reportedly spent several hours trying to determine exactly how Congress, an institution created in 1789 managed to be "founded on Jim Crow," which emerged nearly a century later, before concluding that modern political rhetoric no longer observes the constraints of linear time.

The Democratic Socialists' platform also calls for replacing the presidency with a parliamentary system, making the judiciary subordinate to Congress, ending American support for Israel, and prosecuting U.S. and Israeli leaders for what it describes as "genocide in Gaza." Political observers noted that the platform appears to have been assembled by asking, "What if Reddit moderated the Federalist Papers?"

Constitutional scholars pointed out that abolishing the Senate would require an amendment approved by two thirds of Congress and ratified by three quarters of the states, making the proposal only slightly more realistic than getting every member of Congress to voluntarily delete their social media accounts.

Although Ocasio-Cortez has been floated as a potential 2028 presidential candidate with support from the DSA, she insisted she is not currently running for another office.

"I could run for dog catcher," she said with a chuckle. "So I think any situation is hypothetical."

Sources confirmed that within minutes, several progressive activists demanded the office of dog catcher also be abolished because golden retrievers have historically benefited from systemic privilege.

AOC Drops History-Altering Bombshell: "Black Americans Created Democracy From Nothing," Podcast Host Enthusiastically Agrees Before Realizing He Still Has to Pay Taxes

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a lot of things, but she is definitely no Victor Davis Hanson when it comes to American history, or much else, for that matter.

In a revelation that has left ancient Greeks, Enlightenment philosophers, and every Founding Father collectively facepalming from beyond the grave, America's foremost revisionist historian and occasional bartender, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), dropped a bombshell on the country the other day.

She informed us all that it was black Americans who created democracy: "I think about the Civil Rights and voting rights movement, and how black Americans really created democracy in this country . . . black Americans created democracy. They built something from nothing."

I had no idea. I was under the naive impression that it was the ancient Greeks and our Founding Fathers who conjured such a thing, but clearly I was the last to know. Even the podcast host she was enlightening nodded along in vigorous agreement: “Yes, YES.” Where have I been all these years? Probably busy not rewriting history to own the libs.

There you have it, folks. The 1619 Project rides again like a participation trophy on steroids. History has been rewritten, you’ve been lied to your entire life, and James Madison was apparently mixed. Unless, of course, AOC hit her head falling out of a coconut tree and is simply, resoundingly, and spectacularly wrong.

Democracy literally comes from the ancient Greek word dēmokratia: “rule by the people,” from dēmos meaning “the people” or “citizen-body,” and kratos for “power” or “rule.” By the people, for the people. Sound familiar? It describes a system in which citizens hold the power to make decisions, either directly or through their elected representatives.

In 508-507 BC, the true “Father of Democracy,” Cleisthenes, a suspiciously non-diverse Greek aristocrat, shifted power away from hereditary elites and toward the demos. He reorganized citizens into tribes based on residence rather than bloodline, introduced equality under the law, and reformed governance through popular voting.

Long after his death, the historian Thucydides praised the system: “Its administration favors the many instead of the few; this is why it is called a democracy.”

Credit for the creation of democracy goes to white, ancient Greek aristocrats wearing bedsheets. My apologies, Congresswoman. Next you'll tell us Socrates invented the filibuster.

If AOC means American democracy specifically, she’s no less mistaken. American democracy wasn’t “built from nothing” by any single group or era. It was deliberately engineered as a constitutional republic with robust democratic features during the late 18th century by a bunch of powdered-wigged guys who definitely didn't look like they just invented hip-hop. Drawing on ancient Athens and Rome, English common law, and Enlightenment thinkers including John Locke, Montesquieu, and Blackstone, our Founders designed a republic specifically intended to avoid the pitfalls of pure direct democracy. As Madison argued in Federalist No. 10, this often resulted in mob rule and instability—like, say, Twitter in 2021.

In its place, they built representative government, separation of powers, checks and balances, and federalism, all to protect individual liberty. The Miracle at Philadelphia wasn't exactly a community organizing session.

Just as it would be inaccurate to say women alone created American democracy, it is equally inaccurate to say black Americans did because it is simply not true. Unless Washington and the Founders were applying considerably more face powder than the portraits suggest. Spoiler: They weren't.

I was reminded of all this just last night at an Independent Women’s event, where extraordinary women gathered to celebrate and defend exactly this history instead of turning it into a corporate DEI seminar. That’s the spirit we need more of: women, Americans of all backgrounds, who know what this country is built on and aren’t afraid to say so. We should be teaching this, not erasing it like a bad tweet.

To be uncharacteristically charitable to AOC, one could argue that she means that black Americans, through the crucible of slavery, Reconstruction, Jim Crow, and the Civil Rights Movement, helped make the promise of democracy real rather than merely rhetorical. Indeed, black Americans’ contributions to expanding rights were immense and undeniable, but “expanding and perfecting democracy” is a very different claim from “creating it from nothing,” and conflating the two isn’t empowerment, it’s historical erasure with a side of coconut.

Meanwhile, that very democracy she claims was created by black Americans is being thwarted by her and her fellow Democrats in Washington, D.C., who treat the Constitution like an annoying Terms of Service agreement they keep clicking "Ignore." Barack Obama wants to strip away the voting rights of Republicans of all color, and they’ve promised that when they regain power, they will pack the Supreme Court, enable mass mail-in-ballots, throw away voter ID, and nuke the filibuster to add four more blue senate seats. Very "created democracy" behavior.These are not the actions of people who revere democratic institutions. They’re the actions of people who revere power—and really good campaign donors.

The danger of letting the Left rewrite history and promote fallacious ideas is not abstract. When young people and useful idiots are taught a distorted version of the past by a backward education system and p(regressive) leadership, they have no framework to defend what is true. That's the whole point. Gutting civics and history education was not an accident; it was a strategy, like replacing math with "equity."

Our Founders studied history with rigor, absorbed its lessons, and built something incredible and new: a durable, liberty-focused republic that has endured for nearly 250 years. Its genius lay not in perfection but in self-correction through elections, courts, and amendments, not reinvention via executive order and vibes.

Don’t fall for the lies: communism has failed everywhere it has been tried, Capitalism harnesses human self-interest to drive innovation, growth, and prosperity like no other, and our constitutional republic is a miraculous achievement, conceived by a very pale founding bunch and hardened over generations by Americans of different color and circumstance, bound under one creed.

That’s not an uncomfortable fact; that’s a beautiful one, and as we approach our 250th birthday, it is one worth defending clearly and without apology, or a trigger warning.

Want to shovel snow? 5 forms of ID please. Want to vote? No problem.

Snowcialism has officially arrived in the Big Apple, folks. Comrade Mayor Zohran Mamdani, is dead set against requiring ID to vote because apparently that's racist or a poll tax or Jim Crow 2.0 or whatever the talking point is this week. But when it comes to signing up to shovel snow for the city during a monster blizzard? Oh, then he wants no less than five forms of identification. 

Welcome to peak progressive logic.

The NYC Sanitation Department website lays it out clear as day: to register as an emergency snow shoveler, you need two small photos (1-1.5 square inches), two original forms of ID plus copies, and your Social Security card. That's right, multiple layers of paperwork just to pick up a shovel and earn some extra cash clearing sidewalks and hydrants. 

Soon they'll be asking us to provide fingerprints, a DNA sample, and an Xray to prove our right to shovel snow.

Mamdani, ever the helpful socialist cum communist, hit a presser Saturday and urged New Yorkers to step up. "For those who want to do more to help your neighbors and earn some extra cash, you too can become an emergency snow shoveler. Just show up at your local sanitation garage… with your paperwork which is accessible online," Hizzoner said at a presser Saturday.

The gig pays $19.14 an hour, jumping to $28.71 after the first 40 hours in a week. Not bad for some side hustle, but good luck if you don't have your ID portfolio ready to go.

Of course, this comes from the same guy who's tied to the New York chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America. The DSA hates voter ID laws with a passion, calling them out as "racist voter ID laws and secret poll taxes like the ‘SAVE America Act.'" Their website proudly declares, "Our candidates for office stand firm against racist voter ID laws and secret poll taxes like the ‘SAVE America Act.'"

So what is it called when people must produce 5 forms of ID to shovel snow?

Social media lit up with ice-cold mockery over the glaring hypocrisy. Fox News host Jimmy Failla quipped on X, "This is Jim SNOW 2.0." X user Casey Cook posted, "No joke. To register to shovel snow in Mamdani’s NYC….for the impending snowstorm, you need two types of identification. Can’t make this up." 

Another user piled on with a Greta Thunberg gif, captioning it, "Mamdani's snow shovelers must be 'Eligible to work in the United States,'" followed by her famous "how dare you."

A City Hall spokesperson tried to clean it up for The Post, explaining, "As with any employer, the City of New York has a legal obligation under federal law to verify work authorization and maintain proper documentation before issuing payment. We are not legally permitted to hand out checks without completing that process."

Fair enough on the federal I-9 rules, but try telling that to the left when the same logic applies to election integrity. Suddenly it's suppression.

Meanwhile, Gotham is staring down a beast of a blizzard, with up to 24 inches possible across the East Coast Sunday and Monday. Wind gusts could hit 60 mph, and snow might pile up one to three inches per hour. If Mamdani's voters want to help dig out the city, they'll need more ID than it takes to cast a ballot. Classic.

Possible pro-Biden group seen with Nazi flags by Disney World

Democratic legislator, Anna Eskamani of the Florida House of Representatives posted video clips and photos on Saturday showing a group of people obviously attempting to make presidential candidate and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis appear to be supported by the American Nazi a-hole party. The group was composed of likely socialists, anarchists and Democrats [but I repeat myself] holding Nazi flags and fascist symbols outside Walt Disney World in Orlando. 

Conveniently located nearby was a banner touting the presidential campaign of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, in case you needed to know who not to  vote for . . . if you actually believe that DeSantis would ever sanction this crap.

Eskamani called the display "absolutely disgusting" and she's right--but who are they kidding? 

Shannon Watts, another leftist and anti-gun activist, also posted an image which appeared to show the same group of protesters holding up anti-LGBTQ signs.

The only person missing from the event was Ray Epps. 

“Two dozen white supremacists are outside the main Disney World entrance in Orlando right now, marching with signs featuring Gov DeSantis’s face, swastikas, the n-word and homophobic slurs,” Watts tweeted.

“This is the 2023 Republican Party.”

And if you believe that those butt munchers are Republicans, you probably only watch CNN or MSNBC and think that Joy Behar is kind of hot. In fact, it isn't known which organization the protesters were affiliated with, but they sure as hell are not Republicans because we don't think that way. 

However, the Party of Bull Connor, the KKK, Jim Crow, George Wallace, Robert Byrd, and Joe Biden do think that way, and while they have no policies that help the nation, they do have the market cornered on virtue signaling, victimhood, identity politics, and Marxist ideology.

Again, if you believe those morons with Nazi flags represents the GOP, you aren't reading this in the first place.

White House Plant says he'd "strongly support" moving MLB All-Star game due to Georgia's voting changes

Our barely sentient President Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. will "strongly support" moving the Major League All-Star game out of Atlanta because of better regulated voting laws the state has passed. The house plant said on ESPN Wednesday that the new voting restrictions are "just not right."

The nation's figure head said "This is Jim Crow on steroids, what they are doing in Georgia and 40 other states. What it's all about — imagine passing a law saying you cant provide water or food for someone standing in a line to vote. Can't do that. Come on? Or you close a polling place at 5 o'clock when working people just get off?

"This is all about keeping working folks and ordinary folks that I grew up with from being able to vote. Come on," he lied, using his signature 'come on' without the 'man' at the end.

Biden might look like Banjo Boy from "Deliverance," or Walter, Jeff Dunham's cute old man dummy, but don't be fooled. Biden is now a tool of the far-left and he may not even realize it.

Biden's statement came as a backlash against the new limits grew.

So let's examine the new "limits" as noted by the Governor of Georgia, Brian Kemp (R) who spoke on Fox News and not the mainstream left media, and unlike Biden, he was able to do so without written notes or a teleprompter. Kemp called Biden's rhetoric disingenuous and completely false. In other words, the cute old Banjo Boy lied.

Kemp explained that SB 202 does the following:

First, it actually expands access to early voting across Georgia by requiring 2 mandatory Saturdays and allowing local election officials the option of up to two Sundays during early voting. This applies to all 159 counties in the state for the first time and this increases the voting result hundreds of hours of more early voting opportunities across the state--the opposite of voter suppression and nothing to do with Jim Crow laws the Democrats had implemented and for which they don't like to take credit.

SB 202 requires all voters to provide a driver’s license or a free state ID card number to request and submit an absentee ballot. This replaces the cumbersome signature match process, thereby significantly streamlining – and securing – absentee ballot verification and tabulation. 

Every Georgia voter must already present some form of photo ID to vote in-person and the GOP refuses to infantilize any group of voter by suggesting they cannot obtain identification as the Democrats constantly imply.

For the first time ballot drop boxes – which were not available to Georgia voters prior to the COVID-19 pandemic – are mandated in every county, while also ensuring all drop boxes are secured around the clock. It's probably the latter part in which the drop boxes would be secured that disturbs the Democrats because it helps to eliminate tampering with the ballots inside.

 

SB 202 also protects polling locations from electioneering by private individuals, a common measure taken throughout the country in every state. If a person who is in line to vote is within 150 feet, election officials may provide water at stations. Beyond 150 feet, as previous Georgia law allowed, private individuals can provide water, pizza or anything else they wish to hand out in their effort to campaign for the vote of those waiting to do so. 

Biden lied by saying that people in line would not be able to receive water if thirsty. That's almost as bad as throwing an infant over the southern border wall. 

In addition, SB 202  requires local election officials to continue tabulating votes until counting is complete and mandates the use of security paper to ensure complete authentication of ballots. Democrats don't like that idea because it may result in results that favor Republicans.

The reforms obviously have zero to do with "voter suppression" or "Jim Crow" as Biden claims they do. Liars believe the people they lie to are not bright enough to know they are being lied to, and sometimes liars are correct. Those people who believe lies without checking the facts are most often people on the far-left and the far-right. But the left would even have you believe that everyone in the Republican Party is on the far-right, which is nonsense.

The Election Integrity Act makes it significantly easier to vote by expanding access to the polls and harder to cheat by ensuring the security of the ballot box. It's the cheating part that bothers the left.

If Major League Baseball allows politics to dictate their decision as to where the All-Star game is to be played, then it's no longer America's pastime as far as this writer is concerned.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: We must honor states that kill black unborn babies

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar used to be a great basketball player. He could dribble and shoot and slam-dunk like nobody else. He also used to be a somewhat "normal liberal" to the extent that liberals can actually be normal. But now he has gone over to the dark side.

Abdul-Jabbar is calling for Americans to support the slaughter of babies, especially black, undocumented American babies right up to the moment of delivery from the birth canal, as if passing through that opening is what makes them officially human.

The former basketball player wants Americans to boycott states such as Georgia and Alabama for passing laws prohibiting the killing of babies whose heartbeats can be detected audibly.

He may have been a good basketball player, but he needs some work at being a moral human being.

In an op-ed for The Hollywood Reporter, Abdul-Jabbar argues that new laws in states like Alabama or Georgia are a throwback to times where "pretty much everyone who wasn’t a straight, white Christian male was considered a second-class citizen whose rights and future depended on the patriarchs’ whims and largesse."

He fails to see the irony of who mostly becomes the victims of infanticide in the womb--for example, more black babies are aborted in New York City than are permitted to be born there. He also fails to acknowledge the fact that Planned Parenthood was founded by a racist eugenicist, Margaret Sanger. 

Somehow, in Abdul-Jabbar's worldview, the people trying to encourage more black babies to be born are the racist ones.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar goes on to blame the anti-abortion laws in those states on the Trump administration, which he says has returned entitled whites to "their rapidly eroding privileged status."

Except when it comes down to an observable analysis, rather than Trump Derangement Syndrome, it's Abdul-Jabbar who's the racist against his own people.

"Right now the stains include Georgia, Alabama, Missouri and other states passing restrictive abortion legislation that reduces women to baby incubators," writes the former tall basketball player. "The time has come for Americans to defend the principles of the Constitution ... For now, one of the best ways to do that is through boycotting the offending states."

So defending the Constitution means that life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness doesn't include babies, those human beings who cannot speak up for themselves and somehow because they haven't passed through the birth canal. They have no rights because . . . why?

Abdul-Jabbar tried to compare the boycott to civil rights activist Rosa Parks, who refused to sit in the back of the bus for Jim Crow. There is no comparison and if Parks was alive today, I believe she might agree that black babies in the womb have the rights she was fighting for, not the deaths Abdul-Jabbar welcomes.

And why aren't Democratic women telling him to shut the hell up? After all, he's a man and shouldn't have a say in the matter, to use their terms--he should keep his opinions to himself as they see it.

It's only when leftists agree with them that gender doesn't matter.

My guess, and it's only a guess, is that Abdul-Jabbar had to, in the past, call for abortion for his personal convenience. 

Lucky for him that he has already been born.

Biden claims Trump and GOP are bringing back Jim Crow

Former Vice President Joseph "Gleaming Dentures" Biden claimed on Saturday that Jim Crow is "sneaking back in" when he spoke about voting rights in South Carolina. This time, however, he did not claim that Trump was "gonna put y'all back in chains" as he spoke to a largely black audience. This was the idiot's first campaign stop in his quest to lose another bid for the White House.

In criticizing Republican efforts to adopt more stringent voting rules, including identification requirements and curtailing early voting hours, Biden recalled the racial segregation laws of the past.

"You've got Jim Crow sneaking back in," he claimed, referring to the era before the civil rights movement. "You know what happens when you have an equal right to vote? They lose." By "they" he means the Party of Lincoln, implying that the actual party of Jim Crow, the Democrats, are the ones who are going to free them from oppression. He's counting on the idea that black people have short memories, which is akin to "the soft bigotry of low expectations," a phrase coined by Michael Gerson. 

The former Obama VP appears to be totally out of ideas. When he was asked about a campaign slogan he stole the idea from President Trump saying "Let's make America moral again."

Biden seems to thinks that his background is pure while his son's involvement in an app for the Chinese to track Muslims, in which he was also intimately involved, is totally moral.

Biden centered much of his trip around the need to restore decency to the White House. "Your state motto is, 'While I breathe, I hope,'" he said at the rally after continuing his full-throated denunciation of President Donald Trump. "It's not a joke. We're breathing, but God, we have got to have hope." He didn't mention that when his son Hunter Biden breathes, he snorts dope.

He who is free from sin, cast the first stone.

He kept up that theme at a private evening fundraiser, telling several dozen donors that he expects a nasty race from President Trump, something he would never do himself.

"This guy is going to go after me and family," Biden predicted. It isn't as if he doesn't know the drill [see paragraph 1 above regarding black folks and chains.]

He recalled his grandchildren telling him before his announcement that they expect Trump and others to bring up family details including his son Hunter Biden's divorce, but left out the cocaine thingy and his history of making racial statements about Indians and others.

Biden said there "are so many nicknames I want to give this guy," and he drew laughter when he joked that he'd "start with clown." But he added that he doesn't want to respond in kind, which he just did when he mentioned clown, because he thinks his audience is gullible.

"The only place he has any confidence is in the mud," Biden said, because the president "doesn't understand how to respond to issues." Biden's confidence is in back of the barn, if you recall. He mentioned that phrase in his speech, but somehow doesn't see the irony.

Biden continues his trip Sunday by worshipping at a black church in Columbia and pandering for votes, as is his wont.

Dummy Debbie compares NRA to terrorist groups

Debbie does illegal 'gun-finger'

Debbie Wasserman Overbite Schultz (Duh-FL) cannot see significant differences between ISIS, Al Qaeda, the Taliban, Al Shabaab, Hamas, Hezbollah and the NRA.

She characterized the NRA as "just shy of a terrorist organization" on Tuesday, in response to the recent appointment of its new president, Oliver North, who contended that the Parkland, Florida students pushing stricter gun-control legislation are engaging in "civil terrorism."

Speaking of shy, Schultz is "just three cards shy of a full deck."

"The NRA is kind of just shy of a terrorist organization," she told HuffPo Tuesday. "They have done everything they can to perpetuate the culture of violence that we have in our country with the spread of assault weapons across the nation."

The blame really lies on the shoulders of our nation's founders who believed that it is a person's God-given right to defend him/herself. In fact, as I write this Friday morning, there is a shooting in Santa Fe, Texas in progress and the one hope I have is that there is someone with a gun to stop the guy with a gun who it is said to have gone into a classroom and shot a young woman. [The story is unfolding this very minute so the facts are fuzzy.]

Oliver North depicted the Parkland survivors as criminals, accusing them as relying on "intimidation and harassment and lawbreaking" in an interview he had May 9th with the Washington Times.

"They call them activists. That's what they're calling themselves. They're not activists--this is civil terrorism," North said.

The congress-cretin took issue with North's rhetoric that the NRA is facing opposition the likes of which has "never been seen against a civil rights organization in America." He also characterized the gun-control activists as reminiscent of "the terrible days of Jim Crow," led by the Dixiecrats.

To compare the NRA, an organization that teaches gun safety as a top priority, and whose members are virtually all law abiding citizens, as "just shy of a terrorist organization," shows just how little she knows about the NRA and terrorist organizations.

The NRA follows the law; terrorist organizations do not. The NRA has never been accused of killing anyone but its members and other gun-carrying citizens have stopped crimes and protected themselves from crimes such as rape and armed assaults. 

Terrorist organizations kill indiscriminately, and to make such a false comparison of them with the NRA merely shows the desperation of the left to discredit decent gun owners and the value of the U.S. Constitution.

It's also fake virtue-signaling. By blaming the gun, the left doesn't need to deal with the real problems we face, such as the breakup of the nuclear family, where having a father in the home, or a man in the life of male teens, makes a huge difference in whether a young man gets involved with crime.

The problem isn't the guns or knives or vans that plow into crowds, it's the person behind those tools. The NRA simply teaches us how to use the first on the list responsibly and safely.

And let's not forget, Debbie has problems with her own shady past.

The Racism of Lowered Expectations

A standard test to vet New York City's potential teachers was struck down by a federal judge because he believed the test illegally discriminated against racial minorities due to their lower scores compared to white applicant test scores.

The judge may have had a good point if he were dealing with the unfair literacy tests of Jim Crow, but this was the city's second Liberal Arts and Science Test (LAST-2) and it simply tested basic high-school-level knowledge of liberal arts and the sciences.

The test is straightforward and should be fairly easy to do reasonably well at, as it relies on factual knowledge and basic academic skills, which should have been acquired by anyone who expects to impart those skills and knowledge on students. 

Reality check: if you're going to teach something, you ought to know it before you teach it.

But since Hispanics and black applicants had a passage rate of about 54 to 75 percent of the passage rate for whites, this had to mean that the test is racist. How can we ever expect minorities to do as well as whites? It just isn't fair to expect that out of them.

Or is it?

Brandeis' Girly-Man President and Frazier Glenn Cross

The 73 year old Brandeis University graduate Missouri man, Frazier Glenn Cross, aka Frazier Glenn Miller (not the famous Glen Miller), who allegedly killed 3 people outside a Jewish community center and a retirement community, was brought into custody. It is unclear that he was targeting Jews, because asking people if they were Jewish outside of these Jewish establishments and attempting to shoot Jews in the process is not evidence enough. The fact that he went to a second Jewish establishment where he shot and killed a female (age uncertain) was also not enough to label this a hate crime. The fact that Frazier Glenn Miller has a history with the KKK (a Democratic organization that Democrats pretend is conservative), and has publicly declared his hatred of Jews and blacks, is not enough to call him a racist. It takes more proof than that.

No, it's the GOP who is racist. And the evidence is clear.

When Democrat, Lyndon Johnson signed the 1964 Civil Rights Act, that outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, his landmark decision was so spectacular that he declared: "Now the niggers will vote Democratic for the next 200 years." The GOP had nothing to do with this law--unless you consider how they voted for it in the past but were defeated repeatedly by Democrats.

However, this piece of legislation effectively got rid of the Jim Crow laws. These laws have an interesting origin.

Between 1865 and 1877, federal law protected the US South for freedmen, or African Americans who were previously slaves. In the 1870s, the Democrats regained power in the South and used paramilitary groups to screw up Republican party organizing, and they ran GOP officeholders out of town. In a "show of care" for blacks, Democrats intimidated them and kept them from voting. As we still see examples of this today, voter fraud was rampant--even without the help of the New Black Panthers and Eric Holder's refusal to press charges against them. Democrats knew back then that blacks would vote for the party that actually supported their civil rights--the Republican party.

Increased violence against blacks, perpetrated by white Democrats, continued on from 1868 to 1877. Soon, Southern White Democrats regained political power in every Southern state and they legislated Jim Crow laws which segregated black people from the white population.

In spite of the fact that some blacks were elected to local office in the 1880s, the Democrats in power were passing laws to restrict voter registration and before long, black participation in the voting practice decreased significantly.

But now we see that blacks tend to vote Democratic in spite of what history shows. That's because the Democrats have changed the message and claims that it's the GOP who are the racists. At one university in Ohio, (I forget which one, but you can google it), there is a statute of Lincoln with an inscription that claims he was a Democrat. You cannot make this s**t up.

So like blacks, who show support for their suppressors, there are Jews who show support their haters--the religion of Islam.

The president of Brandeis University, Frederick-Are-They-Gone-Yet-Lawrence, supports the wishes of the Counsel on American-Islamic Relations. This organization is the "Al Sharpton of Islam" and makes their unapologetic support of HAMAS and Hezbollah no secret, while doing the opposite about their relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood.

The only way apologists for Islam can argue against someone quoting Islamic scripture, is by attacking them personally. The way the actual religion has Muslims respond is with killing their opponents. So far the American Muslim population hasn't reached critical mass for that to begin, but when it does, it will.

How Lawrence can be so cowardly by rescinding Ayaan Hirsi-Ali`s honorary degree and speech is quite sad, but it might be further explained by the fact that many US universities receive secret donations from Saudi Arabia. I am only speculating about Brandeis, but the fact that many universities receive oil money is true. Harvard and American University are two such benefactors.

How a university president can compromise his principals can only be explained by the notion that Lawrence has none.

In my latest novel, a New York reporter is taken hostage by terrorists. If POTUS refuses to release 3 Gitmo jihadists, the reporter will die in 24 hours—they will behead him and show it on the Internet. There is only one way out but the clock is ticking . . .

Race Baiter Agitators Are Agitated Tonight

You going down

The race brokers are calling for calm. They did their thing last year when people like Jessie Jackson said that this was a racial case. He said, "There was this feeling that we were beyond racism." He spoke about the mistaken assumption that all of our racial problems were resolved with the election of Obama. To read about this in the LA Times go here.
