During an interview with ‘Desus and Mero’ on Showtime, AOC goes deep.
Because if you’re just flying under the radar, just trying to get your check, not rock the boat, then what’s the point of being in politics?” she asked. “What is the point of doing things if you’re just trying to maintain the status quo that doesn’t help people?” Ocasio-Cortez called all the memes she gets thrown at her in her timeline “so weak,” wondering, “How do you have a computer that runs both Windows ‘95 and Twitter at the same time?”
When AOC opens her fat mouth, I get memories of Michelle Obama and her clothes. History rhymes?
Allegedly from her Instagram yesterday:
“This idea that I’ve been working on this for x-amount of years, um, it’s like not good enough. 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.
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?
Financially, because people are graduating $20-, $30-, a $100,000-worth of student loan debt, so they can’t even afford to have kids in a house. Also this basic moral question, what do we do?”

After all, the transgender man and gay rights activist had received threats after having a banner year in this conservative town.
In the prior six months, he helped open the city’s first gay community center, organized the first gay festival and, after 18 years of failed attempts, helped lead a bruising battle for an ordinance that prohibits discrimination against gays.
For his efforts, a local paper named him the Citizen of the Year.

Mr. Gokhale said, “Information regarding the location of training camps in Pakistan and PoJK has been provided to Pakistan from time to time. Pakistan, however, denies their existence. The existence of such massive training facilities capable of training hundreds of Jihadis could not have functioned without the knowledge of Pakistan authorities.”
Next, Mr. Gokhale referred to the fact that the strike was pre-emptive and necessitated by the “credible intelligence” that the JeM was planning, at its training camp, more such attacks on India, where “fidayeen jihadis” were being trained. This indicates that the government did not intend the strike as just a “revenge operation”, but one carried out in self-defence, led by intelligence.

Yet these are the same people who love to virtue signal and morally shame others.
It used to be if an infant successfully navigated the birth canal and entered the world they enjoyed the same protection as any U.S citizen. How far are they willing to go with this?

Not overly surprising. There are a ton of comics with political figures. Obama had over a dozen titles about him, including a few appearances in mainstream comics. Devils Due is about a third string company, not terribly low, but not great, they’ve lost a lot of readership since losing several major licenses so I see this as a weak grasp at relevancy. Biden and Bernie have also had comics in the past. The President also has a few comics, most of which are attacking him (though one seems to be just a fun lighthearted read without any malice).

Sultan Knish writes what CW always says. The TRIBALISM of the media…
“The Covington Catholic story in particular was not newsworthy by any rational definition of the term. The media insisted on making it news because it perfectly encapsulated the tribal prejudices of its base of urban and suburban lefties by pitting anti-abortion kids in MAGA hats against saintly minorities.
Prime Time Sports, a small sports memorabilia store in a Colorado Springs mall, announced that it was going out of business. Malls are emptying out across the country and there was no reason why the closing of a mall shop selling Cubs t-shirts and Patriots mini-helmets should have ended up in hundreds of papers around the country. But the reason why its closing ended up in major papers and news networks, including CNN. says a great deal about the malicious nature of political tribalism on the Left.
“A Colorado store that boycotted Nike after its Kaepernick ad will close,” the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette gloated about the misfortune of a mall store 1,400 miles away.
“He stopped selling Nike products because of Colin Kaepernick,” the Washington Post breathlessly reported. “Now his store is closing.”
The fate of a 2,000 square foot hole in the wall placeholder in a dying mall had somehow become of crucial interest to the opinion-shapers and policymakers of the nation’s capital. But when Kermit Gosnell, the abortion doctor suspected of hundreds of cases of infanticide, was on trial, the Post dismissed it as a “local crime” story. Those are the same tribal priorities that led the media to be outraged that Governor Northam wore blackface 34 years ago, but not that he now backed infanticide.
Stand up to our social justice mega-corps and we will destroy you. And then dance on your grave.”
The headlines sum up why the national media found the closing of a mall shop so newsworthy. The owner had dared to buck the media’s tribal message that Colin Kaepernick was a civil rights hero. Going out of business was his punishment. It was a story of just deserts. A moral lesson for America.
Stand up to our social justice mega-corps and we will destroy you. And then dance on your grave.
Stories of ordinary people punished for their political views have slowly become a staple of the media. These often focus on some random person caught on video in what can be spun as a politically incorrect moment during a confrontation, and then being followed around by the cameras as their lives are destroyed. The Covington Catholic case is the most famous of these types of tribal humiliation stories.
Their existence says everything about where the media, its parent leftist movement and America are.
In a liberal society, people from different tribes can agree to disagree because they recognize their mutual humanity. In a tribal society, the ‘other’ is less than human. Tribal narratives are about the superiority of ‘our’ people to ‘their’ people. Outrage at selective incidents is used to dehumanize the ‘other’ tribe, to call for violence against them, and then to urge their utter destruction.

So the Democrats pull this stunt with a congenital liar and undercut the President of the United States while he is on foreign soil. If the Republicans did this to Obama the Dems and the MSM would be hysterical.

Armstrong Q and A.
QUESTION: Are you aware that the climate change crowd is trying to force companies to expose the fact that whatever they produce is damaging the environment and investors should sell their shares to drive them into bankruptcy?
ANSWER: Yes, the latest fashionable demand is to force companies to make “climate disclosures” that reflect their skewed research. This occurs when corporations are required to made disclosures according to their highly unlikely climate-risk scenarios. The objective is to scare investors and increase their cost of capital to these firms to drive them out of business and create massive unemployment. This new strategy is supported by AOC (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez). The idea that finance or investor pressure could provide a solution to global warming is absurd.
The strategy is to create demonization of electrical utilities and force a low-carbon transition whereby we would no longer be able to manufacture steel or plastic. This would eliminate airplanes and it would really destroy Western civilization.

As for Alan Colmes – fuck him, I’ll dance on his grave. People want to remember him as a ‘nice’ liberal. But I remember when he blamed Trig Palin’s Down’s Syndrome on lack of prenatal care. When he got pounded for it, he wiped it from his website and DENIED HE SAID IT. Yeah, wayback machine. He never owned up, he never apologized. Scum.

Cardinal Pell at a Melbourne court last year / via NYTimes
Cardinal George Pell, formerly the Pope’s right-hand man for Vatican finances and the face of the Catholic Church in Australia, has been convicted of abusing two choir boys when he was Archbishop of Melbourne in the 1990s. He will almost certainly serve time in jail.
Pell has vehemently denied the allegations. His lawyers say that he is going to appeal the verdict.
This is a terrible blow to the prestige of the Catholic Church around the world. It strikes at the authority of Pope Francis, for whom Pell was a close adviser and prefect of the Holy See’s Secretariat for the Economy. It is bound to erode the confidence of ordinary Catholics in the holiness of their Faith and the integrity of their pastors.
But there are sound reasons to doubt the verdict. True, the forms of due process were observed. But this time they did not deliver justice.
First, are the allegations credible?
It is alleged that the Archbishop of Melbourne molested two boys inside the Cathedral sacristy in the second half of December 1996. After a Sunday solemn Mass Pell surprised two 13-year-old choirboys who had been swigging some of the altar wine and sexually assaulted them in a most brutal fashion.
The prosecution’s case is based on the testimony of only one of the boys, now aged 35. The other died of a heroin overdose in 2014. He had previously denied being abused by a priest. Neither of them mentioned anything about the incident at the time. The complainant also accused Pell of molesting him on another occasion.
Pell has been accused of many things, but never stupidity. He was actively involved in creating a response to the sexual abuse crisis in 1996 despite criticism from some Australian bishops that he should wait — precisely because he thought the issue was so important. He was also being targeted by gay protesters around this time. It defies belief that a man as self-controlled as Pell would be so impetuous as to do his dirty work where he could be so easily discovered. As his lawyer told the court, “Only a madman would attempt to rape two boys in the priests’ sacristy immediately after Sunday solemn mass.”
Nor is abuse this vile consistent with Pell’s character. It is easier to believe that this tall, burly, blunt man clobbered a recalcitrant priest than that he was so sly and sacrilegious as to molest boys inside a church.
Bear in mind that this was the second time that Pell has been tried for the same crime. The first trial ended with a hung jury, which was reportedly split 10 to 2 in favour of acquitting him. Anything is possible, including Pell’s alleged crime, but the previous jury wasn’t persuaded of his guilt.
Second, was Pell’s trial fair?
Pell’s profile in Australia is probably unmatched by any cleric, of any faith, other than the Pope himself. Apart from serving in the Vatican and as Archbishop of Melbourne and Archbishop of Sydney, the two largest cities in Australia, he was a prolific newspaper columnist, a frequent guest on radio and TV, a delegate to the Australian Constitutional Convention, at which he was an ardent republican (ie, not a monarchist); a climate change sceptic, and a staunch defender of traditional Christian values.
Within the Church he unswervingly backed the Pope and orthodoxy. This made him many enemies amongst progressive Catholics. At the same time, he was an impressively effective and far-sighted manager who stepped on many toes.
In short, he is one of the most controversial Australians of his generation. Everyone, but everyone, has an opinion on George Pell. Putting him on trial in Melbourne, Pell-phobia Central, is like putting Hillary Clinton on trial in Texas where three-quarters of the population would be baying to lock her up.
For reasons which cannot be fathomed, the Victorian Police have pursued Pell with extraordinary – and disgraceful — vigour. In 2013 they set up a task force to search for complaints against Pell — before they had received any. No one came forward for a whole year. In 2016 a sexual abuse taskforce interviewed Pell in Rome. The police force leaked like a sieve.
The Victorian Police have been plagued with corruption scandals. In the latest, it was revealed that they had persuaded a criminal barrister to inform on her clients and as a result, the convictions of hundreds of criminals could be overturned. The High Court of Australia said in December that “Victoria Police were guilty of reprehensible conduct … in sanctioning atrocious breaches of the sworn duty of every police officer to discharge all duties imposed on them faithfully and according to law without favour or affection, malice or ill-will.”
This is not to say that all of them are corrupt. But more faith is required to believe in the incorruptibility of Victorian police than in the incorrupt body of Padre Pio.
On top of all this, early last year an implacable enemy of Pell, journalist Louise Milligan, published Cardinal: the Rise and Fall of George Pell. Widely read and publicised, it was the source of some of the lurid allegations in his trial.
So, for two years, at least, the air of Melbourne has been full of mischievous sniggering and venomous commentary about Pell and the Catholic Church. Empanelling an impartial jury must have been like finding twelve good men and true who had not breathed for the past two years. In the end the case set the word of the complainant against the word of the Cardinal. Given the hostile atmosphere of Melbourne, it’s easy to see why the jury found the former more credible.
The legal system must be respected. If His Eminence George Cardinal Pell has committed crimes, especially sexual abuse, he deserves no less than any other criminal. But there is more than enough reason to believe that he has not received a fair trial and that he has a blameless conscience before his God.
Show trials over preposterous crimes used to be the lot of religious figures under Communism, like Hungary’s József Mindszenty and Croatia’s Cardinal Aloysius Stepinac, both now on a path to being declared saints. Pell’s trial shows how easy it is to succeed in an era of aggressive secularism. The late Cardinal Francis George, of Chicago, once said, “I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square.” His prediction seems to be coming true on the other side of the world.
The Vatican should not get spooked by the verdict. There will be calls for him to be stripped of his honours, even to be laicised. It should bat them aside, ignore the jeers and mockery, and wait for the outcome of appeals made by Pell’s legal team. Until proven guilty beyond all reasonable doubt after an appeal, Cardinal Pell must be considered an innocent man.

whoa. This woman, who was introduced to the Trump org by Michael Cohen, has the inside story on what’s going on. She has worked for them for 10 yrs.
4) What many of you may not be aware of is the fact that I can personally confirm that the ONLY reason Michael Cohen “turned on” the President of the United States is because Mueller threatened to throw his wife in jail for up to 30 years. Period. She is the co-guarantor of a $20M personal loan that Mueller discovered Michael secured back in 2015 by falsely inflating the value of his taxi medallions – effectively making her part & parcel to the federal charge of “Making False Statements to a Financial Institution,” to which Cohen ultimately plead guilty. This is also the reason why Cohen’s longtime taxi medallion partner, Evgeny “Gene” Freidman, was granted immunity.
5) Michael Cohen also told me (after they raided his apartment) that the reason why he elected to pay Stormy Daniels $130,000 by using his home equity loan – effectively committing bank fraud – instead of easily using the over $5M+ cash he has sitting in various stateside bank accounts is because his wife controls their finances and he simply did not want her to notice the missing money, as many husbands wouldn’t considering to whom it went. Period. Moreover, he confessed to me that he never imagined in a million years that Donald Trump would actually win the Presidency and that the misappropriation of his home equity loan would ever be exposed, since thousands of Americans misuse this type line of credit to pay for colleges, boats, cars and vacations every single day.
A court of the Kangaroo variety, with the judge asking for the guilty bastard to be escorted in. The whole justice system in the State of Victoria has been corrupt for a good century and a half and totally compromised by the Masonic Temple. Even the NSW justice system with its endemic corruption from convict times to the present pales into insignificance when compared to Victoria. The Viet Nam war ‘Bottom of the Harbour’ scandals of the’ Nuygan Hand’ Royal Commission-trials of the elites and associated criminals, not withstanding. As for senior Police….. whilst NSW State Police were considered corrupt from the 1830s through to the 1960s with Police Commissioner Delany running all of the illegal gambling at Kings Cross, at least they were ‘honest’ bent cops.
The Victorian constabulary were considered ‘stand over merchants’ of the Victorian ‘establishment’ since before the Eureka Stockade. (Australia’s colonies shot at a settler Revolution in the 1800s).Only 10,000 Victorian citizens carrying fiery brands and advancing on the Victorian government buildings at the time , brought the Victorian Worshipful Brothers ‘elites’ to their senses in their Temples. Victoria has been a Masonic cesspool for 150 years and it appears to be getting worse rather than better, rather than emulating their brother stares NSW and Queensland who appear to bettering their past shabby records.
I know George Pell and the man is as straight as an arrow. Alas he’s trodden on toes of the Victorian ‘establishment’ and has ‘cleaned house’ of the Roman Catholic clerical ecclesiastical gay ‘lavender mafia’ in both the Melbourne and Sydney Diocese. Likewise he was well on his way to ‘outing’ the deep endemic financial corruption of the Vatican Bank in Rome (before he was sacked for getting to close to the truth by the Pope), thanks to his employment of professional PwC auditors, to forensically examine the Vatican Bank from top to bottom. He therefore had to be got rid of on trumped up charges, in both cases. The Vatican, of Francis, wanted him gone as did the ‘lavender mafia’ in Victoria and especially the Victoria Masons who had it in for Pell all along.
He’s currently serving his time as a ‘white martyr’ and that will do his soul no end of good when it comes to his Judgement. The one that counts!

Note how the Victorian Police set up a task force to find criminal activity with which to charge George Pell.

what struck me when I read that is that when it was AOC’s turn to question Cohen, she asked him if he was aware that Trump inflated the value of his properties for loans or something.
And Cohen said he was. “People do it all the time”.

They are in the employ of the Victorian ‘establishment’ elites and their Masonic ‘fixers’ as well as the very powerful homosexual and paedophilic ‘lavender mafia’ within the Church that runs interference for both secular as well as clerical sexual criminals who target children. They include a who’s who of ‘establishment ‘ Victoria.
@ eaglesoars:
The Vatican is merely getting a ‘freebie’ by sitting on the coat-tails of the Victorian corrupt justice system who have it in for Pell, and want to protect themselves from Pell’s investigations.

Hes going in as a known rat. Every guy in there knows they will be sold out by him in a heartbeat, hes not a stand up guy. They will plot to get rid of him. Wait, he must have made some kind of deal though, he can’t be that damn stupid can he ? I don’t know if there are bath tubs in club fed or not but when he realizes what he has done, I think he will do a Clemenza . If ya gotta go, might as well make it on your own terms and as painless as possible.
