In Ocasio-Cortez’s District, MS-13 Kills While She Calls To Disband ICE

The Federalist

Ocasio-Cortez's deeply unserious call to abolish ICE is an invitation for more murder and crime in her own backyard. 

"Last Sunday, a stunning murder on a subway platform occurred in Elmhurst, Queens. The shooting, captured on video, was committed by members of the MS-13 gang, against members of the 18th Street gang. Both gangs, though created decades ago in Los Angeles, have deep roots in Central America. Police announced this week that the shooter, who is in custody, is in the United States illegally, and had prior arrests.

"One would assume that lawmakers in the neighborhood would want to crack down on these violent gangs, but its most famous legislator, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, seems far more interested in destroying Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), one of the agencies charged with deporting dangerous criminals such as Sunday’s shooter.

. . . 

"Amid all of this, Ocasio-Cortez should have the good sense to realize that her deeply unserious calls to abolish ICE are doing far more harm than good in battling her district’s problems. If ICE really is involved in widespread human rights abuses, the proper course is congressional oversight, not abolition.

"Furthermore, Ocasio-Cortez has been completely unclear about what she would replace ICE with or whether a new organization should be in place when ICE is abolished. This is madness. Federal authorities have not only the right, but also, the responsibility to control our borders and to investigate multi-state criminal syndicates." . . .

The Return of Ancient Prejudices

Victor Davis Hanson

This time, the bias is more subtle, and it can be harder to address than traditional racism against non-white populations.

. . . "The stereotyped hatreds were battled by the melting-pot forces of assimilation, integration, and intermarriage. Civil-rights legislation and broad education programs gradually convinced the country to judge all Americans on the content of their characters rather than the color of their skins or their religious beliefs. And over the last half century, the effort to end institutional bias against African Americans largely succeeded.

"But recently, other ancient prejudices have been insidiously returning. And this time, the bias is more subtle, and it can be harder to address than traditional racism against non-white populations. The new venom, for example, is often spread by left-wing groups that claim victim status themselves and thus, by their logic, should not be seen as victimizers." . . . . . 

"The Democratic senators who questioned the morality of judicial nominees’ religion likely would not treat a Muslim nominee in the same manner — although one could make the argument that contemporary Islam has had as many or more problems with gender equity than Western Catholicism has.

"Calling any other ethnic group other than Jews “termites” might have earned Representative Johnson congressional censure. And if professional football and basketball franchises turned away talented but “over-represented” African-American athletes to ensure greater diversity in the same manner that universities now systematically discriminate against Asian Americans, there would be a national outcry." . . .

Ocasio-Cortez releases outline for 'Green New Deal'  . . . " 'Special attention" will have to be paid to just about everyone because everyone will be "disproportionately affected by massive economic transitions." In short this loony scheme will impoverish us all."
. . . 

"Ocasio-Cortez is setting herself up to be a commissar - or whatever the Democratic party equivalent would be once we become a one party state and the guillotine  is set up at the Washington mall to deal with the "rich." 

"Needless to say, Ocasio-Cortez is not a climate scientist. She has a kindergartner's understanding of the economy. Shouldn't that disqualify her from proposing to spend tens of trillions of dollars that has the potential to not only destroy the US economy, but the economy of the entire planet?" . . .

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez fails miserably at dissociating her socialism from Venezuela's  . . . "New York 'it girl' and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has always carried one great big piece of political designer baggage with her: Socialism, with all its ghastly train of ruin, which she is trying to repackage as something fresh and new and fashionable. So all eyes were on her as she got a big condemnation of socialism right in her face from President Trump at his State of the Union speech the other night, with the president denouncing its horrors in Venezuela and declaring "America will never be a socialist country." Seventy-six percent of Americans approved of the speech." . . .

Kimmel, Fallon AVOID Ralph Northam Controversy, Both Have Histories Using BLACKFACE

Socio-Political-Journal..  "Despite the controversy surrounding Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam dominating the news cycle for days, late-night hosts Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon avoided the subject in their monologues on Monday night.

On Friday, Northam’s yearbook page from the East Virginia Medical school in 1984 went viral because it included an image of someone in blackface and another in a KKK robe. After apologizing and taking responsibility that night, Northam changed course the following morning, claiming he wasn’t either of the two people in the photo. He did, however, admit to wearing blackface when entering a dance competition as Michael Jackson that same year.

"While Northam’s racist yearbook page and bizarre press conference led national news and were mocked by several late-night hosts, they were left unmentioned by Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon, both of whom have worn blackface on comedy skits." . . .

Is she “the next Obama”? Why is the mainstream media working so hard to promote Kamala Harris?

It is inaccurate to refer to Harris as "African American" or "black" even though she supports Black Lives Matter. Her father was Jamaican and her mother Indian. But as with Elizabeth Warren, I'm sure she gets advantage from this status and is certainly black enough for Democrats. TD

Intellihub  "It seems like virtually every major Democratic politician in the entire country is at least considering running for president, and a bunch of them have already officially entered the race, so why is the mainstream media pushing Kamala Harris so hard?  According to Real Clear Politics, Kamala Harris has not gotten more than single-digit support in any of the 11 major polls for the Democratic nomination that have been conducted so far.  And at this point, her average of just 5.0 percent support in those polls puts her in fourth place in this race.  But if you listen to the mainstream media, they are constantly using terms such as “leading contender” and “frontrunner” to describe her.  In recent days she has been getting more media attention than all of the other declared Democratic candidates combined, and that makes one wonder what is really going on behind the scenes.
"On Monday, I was doing some research on the Internet when I noticed an ad for a CNN town hall featuring Kamala Harris.
"I thought that it was very early in the process to be doing a town hall, and I thought that it was quite odd that only one of the candidates was being featured.  So curiosity got the best of me and I clicked on the ad.
"And sure enough, CNN had given Kamala Harris her very own town hall in a prime time slot, and they had left all of the other candidates out." . . .
