UPDATED: Co-Founder of Greenpeace RIPS Ocasio-Cortez: “Pompous Little Twit… You Would Bring About Mass Death”

Update: Rick Moran's commentary on "Former Greenpeace Canada President: AOC is a 'pompous little twit'"  . . . "All of that is true. The former bartender turned congresswoman knows no more about the climate than your average 12 year old - maybe less. She is parroting talking points she gets from people who are pushing a political agenda, not science. Like many ignorant people, she has adopted the extreme rhetoric of global warming hysterics because she believes it makes her sound important and smart. She is neither.

"Because of her position in the Democratic party (she gets more press than any other Democrat) she is extraordinarily dangerous. She is pushing her party off a cliff and, like lemmings, many are following her. They believe they can ride global warming hysteria to power and riches - a misplaced hope based on their belief they can scare voters into electing them.

"Thankfully, most voters are far more skeptical than your average Democrat. But surveying the political landscape today, you have to wonder what tomorrow will bring."
on millennials and social media: "We’re, like, the world is going to end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change" "We're like"?

The Gateway Pundit   "Finally someone says what we’ve all been thinking…
"Patrick Moore, the co-founder of Greenpeace, lectured Democrat darling and chatterbox "Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on the rules of life.

Moore opened up with the best line of the week… “Pompous little twit.” Then he went on to explain the impossibility of heating homes without fossil fuels."
"I must have slept through that event, thankfully, I’m still here. Global Warming zealots have been predicting doom for years, the latest being that we now have only 12 years left.
"But, back in 1989, we were told we have only 11 years left, till the year 2000. If we didn’t act, “entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels“.

"That date came and went. Yet here we are again, with the same old doom-mongering. 



When America gives up on Afghanistan, its women will pay

But we cannot stay forever; what can be done with these women short of regime change, which has not worked out well for America in the past? What if we bring about a liberal government and some Democrat like Obama gives it all back to the Taliban? TD
No, America’s departure will be a monumental tragedy for Afghan girls and women. The moment the last boot-on-the-ground departs,the Taliban and assorted paramilitary groups will torch every existing shelter for battered women and school for girls. Unrelenting fear will become the order of the day.

Phyllis Chesler  "President Trump’s call for a withdrawal from Afgahanistan raises a troubling question: Is the West morally obliged to persist in a struggle that can’t be won? How much blood and treasure must we spend to save the victims of barbarism?
"No one, after all, has ever been able to conquer or transform Afghanistan. It’s a losing game. But once the United States leaves, young girls and women will be at the mercy of ruthless religious fanatics.

"I should know: I was once a bride, trapped in Kabul in the early 1960s. I saw great natural beauty there and experienced uncommon graciousness. But I also saw gender and religious apartheid up close.
"Although I lived in fairly posh purdah (seclusion) in a home with servants, I’d entered a medieval world of women in burqas, polygamy, child marriage, honor-based violence, honor killing, epidemic but denied pederasty, heartbreaking poverty, infidel-hatred and religious fanaticism. Back then, despite some extraordinary books about Afghanistan, Westerners knew virtually nothing about the country’s warrior culture, continuous feuds, vigilantism and woman-hatred.
"With the rise of the Taliban, particularly after 9/11, Americans learned that Afghan women were publicly beaten if their burqas slipped and an ankle or a strand of hair showed and stoned to death for alleged adultery when raped." . . .

The man plays great chess.' ” . . .

Spike Lee’s Disservice to Black America


Lloyd Marcus

While 90% of blacks voted for Obama, blacks are only 12% of the U.S. population.  The fact that white America gave horrible black president Obama two terms and the fact that Trump has ushered in an unprecedented new era of prosperity for blacks means nothing to Spike Lee, Samuel L. Jackson, and Oprah.  . . .
"I stopped stomaching the Academy Awards TV show years ago.  I caught Spike Lee’s hate-filled Oscar acceptance speech on YouTube.  I am a black man who is a grateful and proud American.  One could argue that Spike Lee has achieved his $40-million net worth at the expense of his fellow blacks, selling them the lie that America is a hellhole of racism against them.  Lies about America are furthered in most of Lee’s movies: blacks will never be treated fairly; cops shoot blacks on sight; and whitey schemes 24/7, conceiving roadblocks to keep blacks down.

"In his speech, Lee cited that slavery in America began 400 years ago.  And yet, while standing on stage, receiving an Oscar, Lee, a black man, acts as if slavery continues today.  Lee said his grandmother funded his college education.  He said his grandmother was the daughter of a slave and a college graduate.  Doesn’t Spike Lee’s and his grandmother’s success confirm the truth that America is the greatest land of opportunity on the planet for all who choose to go for it?" . . .

I’ve had a problem with Spike Lee’s thinking ever since his breakout movie, Do the Right Thing.  Lee’s movie ends with blacks burning down the business of a white small business–owner in their neighborhood.  The movie implies that this is justified.  I thought, this is wrong.  That white business-owner served that black community.  In his Oscar speech, Lee senselessly told America to “do the right thing” by voting out racist president Trump in 2020 — the best presidential friend of black Americans since Lincoln.

Pastor Darrell Scott Praises President Trump for Making Black History  . . . "Barely reported in the mainstream media (shocking, no?), the president touted the achievements of his administration that benefit all Americans — especially black and Latino Americans, who are experiencing the lowest unemployment rates ever recorded." . . .

                                 
"If you believe the news, today's America is plagued by an epidemic of violent hate crimes.

"But is that really true?

"In Hate Crime Hoax, Professor Wilfred Reilly examines over one hundred widely publicized incidents of so-called hate crimes that never actually happened. With a critical eye and attention to detail, Reilly debunks these fabricated incidents—many of them alleged to have happened on college campuses—and explores why so many Americans are driven to fake hate crimes. We're not experiencing an epidemic of hate crimes, Reilly concludes—but we might be experiencing an unprecedented epidemic of hate crime hoaxes."
