AOC's war against racist Pelosi, racist Republicans, racist America, racist white people, racist ... Oh! And even racist Beto O'Rourke, as he said himself. He said that. That's what he said.

But wait! Can it be racist to own an Alexa voice assistant?

The Trump campaign responded in a tweet, writing: "Rep. @AOC spent weeks comparing Americans in ICE uniforms to Nazi concentration camp guards, and then Antifa carried out a terrorist attack against ICE. She refuses to condemn the attack."


Democrats who call Republicans racist need to learn their history  . . . "First, it is instructive of what real racism looks like.  Real racism isn't disagreeing with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez or Ilhan Omar (if that in fact is her real name).  It isn't calling for lower taxes and smaller government.  It isn't stating that reparations are unwarranted and unworkable.  It's not calling for border security or voter ID." . . .



The Todd Starnes Comprehensive List of All Things Racist



"The following [is] a comprehensive list of people and things the Left considers to be racist:"
The list is at the link but they did forget to include this jewel:


"Owning pets if you’re a white male is racist and here’s why"...because it's one step removed from slavery"

'Squad' drama frustrating some House Democrats

CNN, of all sources!  "House Democrats were united in their vote to condemn President Donald Trump's racist tweets this week, but some Democratic lawmakers are quietly expressing concern that far-left progressives have outsized influence in their caucus.

"Several Democrats -- from across the ideological spectrum -- are growing tired of the repeated headlines involving four progressive congresswomen as the caucus tries to push its agenda. In conversations that took place before the President hosted a rally in North Carolina Wednesday night where the crowds chanted "send her home" in reference to Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Democrats said they want to keep the spotlight on the issues that got them elected, not a fight with the President.

" 'The President's words and actions speak for themselves. We need to focus on the issues that got (Democrats) here: jobs, health care ... instead of the issues the President brings up deliberately," said one House Democratic lawmaker, who asked for anonymity to speak freely. "Anything that takes away from bread-and-butter issues is playing into his hands."

" 'The President won this one," said another House Democratic lawmaker of the showdown. "What the President has done is politically brilliant. Pelosi was trying to marginalize these folks, and the President has now identified the entire party with them." . . .
And there will be plenty of provocations from the President, whose attacks on the "squad" only appear to be escalating. . . .
Off the record, House Dems tell CNN's Tapper that Trump was 'brilliant' snookering Dems into letting The Squad become their symbol
. . . "Kudos to Tapper for getting the truth out of the Dems, and for publishing it on Twitter.  It takes some guts for an employee of Jeff Zucker's CNN to tell the public things that don't support The Narrative that the Left continues to peddle." . . .

BUSTED! Twitchy Uncovers #DeportMelania Used by Known Democrats and Journalists  "Twitchy has uncovered massive fraud being perpetrated on America right now. Apparently, no one thought #DeportMelania was racist or deplorable when it was being used by verified Democrats and journalists (is there a difference?) on Twitter just a short time ago." . . .
First Lady, Melania Trump
. . . 
"Isn't it interesting how Democrats can say whatever they want and no one accuses them of racism? This is even worse than what Trump said because he suggested "#TheInsufferableSquad leave voluntarily. In the case of #DeportMelania, it seems that these verified Democrats were asking for ICE to step in. Of course, that’s what I would say if I were a humorless moron, but clearly, they were joking.

"It’s telling that the right can tell a joke when they see one and let it go while the left calls for heads to roll and even charges brought for fictitious crimes like Joy Behar, who thinks she's already living outside America, demanding that law enforcement charge Trump with “hate speech” crimes. LOL"  . . .

False Racism Accusations Don’t Excuse the Real Thing

Our leaders use and abuse race for their own purposes.


"On a high wall overlooking the central court of the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C., the words of novelist James Baldwin are etched in stone: “The great force of history comes from the fact that we carry it within us, are unconsciously controlled by it. . . . History is literally present in all that we do.”

"Baldwin’s words are particularly apt this week, as our leaders, for the millionth time, use and abuse race for their own purposes, committing sins against the past and the present. 

"Before Mr. Trump entered the fray, the Democrats were engaged in the sort of tussle that couldn’t help but bring a smile to the lips of their opponents. Nancy Pelosi was attempting to corral her wayward members — the so-called “Squad” of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Alyssa Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, and Ilhan Omar. Pelosi, clearly worried that four extremists were becoming the face of the Democratic party, thus diminishing the likelihood of Democratic success in 2020, had rapped their knuckles in a closed-door session last week. Pelosi warned the newcomers not to tweet against fellow Democrats, and added, “All these people have their public whatever and their Twitter world. But they didn’t have any following. They’re four people and that’s how many votes they got.” Zing.

"In a different era, the smack of the speaker’s ruler would have cowed the upstarts. Speakers could determine what committees members sat on, whether projects were funded in their districts, and indirectly how much money they could raise. But in the Internet age, parties and leaders have lost influence. Social media allows members to reach their niche audiences and keep the money flowing. The more performative they are on Twitter, the more secure. 

"And so, the freshmen did what progressives so often do — they reached for the accusation of racism. " . . .
