AOC "knows so much that isn't so"

"The trouble with our Liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so."  Ronald Reagan

Sky News  "Sky News host Rita Panahi says Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has gone “full blown nincompoop” for suggesting the use of the word “surge” when it comes to the crisis at the border is attempting to invoke a “militaristic frame".

“They want to say ‘but what about the surge?’” she told her millions of Instagram followers.

“First of all, just gut check, stop. Anyone who's using the term ‘surge’ around you consciously is trying to invoke a militaristic frame. “And that's a problem because this is not a surge, these are children and they are not insurgents and we are not being invaded, which by the way is a white supremacist idea-philosophy, the idea that if another is coming in the population that this is an invasion of who we are.”

Burnt Out Portland Police Officers Are Fleeing the City in Droves

The end of the noble experiment called America, poisoned by the sheer silliness of leftism that is mocked even by communist countries, TD

Legal Insurrection

“The city council are raging idiots, in addition to being stupid. Additionally, the mayor and council ignore actual facts on crime and policing in favor of radical leftist and anarchist fantasy.” 

 

 

. . . "Edmund DeMarche reports at FOX News:

Portland police look for exit, say they’re ‘burned out’: report

Late last year, Portland’s police department said it received an “unprecedented” number of officers leaving their jobs midcareer to take lower-paying jobs elsewhere — and on Sunday the city’s main newspaper published an article offering a glimpse into the reasons why many decided to leave.

The Oregonian reported that a total of 115 officers have left the department since July 1, 2020, representing “one of the biggest waves of departures in recent memory.”

The paper said it reviewed 31 exit interview statements from these officers that showed a certain level of disillusion with the job. A retiring detective reportedly wrote in one that the community showed officers “zero support.”

“The city council are raging idiots, in addition to being stupid. Additionally, the mayor and council ignore actual facts on crime and policing in favor of radical leftist and anarchist fantasy. What’s worse is ppb command (lt. and above) is arrogantly incompetent and cowardly.” . . .More...

It's a lot more than a game

 Silvio Canto, Jr.  . . . "Down in Atlanta, the commissioner's decision is going to hurt big time, as we see in this report:

Opponents of MLB's decision Monday to move the 2021 All-Star Game to Denver because of Georgia's new voting law suggest the move could end up hurting Atlanta's Black residents rather than helping them.

They note the move will deal an economic blow to Atlanta, which is 51% Black, and provide a boost to Colorado's capital, which is only 9% Black, according to U.S. Census figures.

"Yes, the restaurants, the hotels, the activities around town.

"And let's not forget that Atlanta was going to honor Hank Aaron, who passed away earlier this year.  I'm sure that other places can honor Aaron, but it would have been different in Atlanta, where he hit his historic home runs, from #500 to #715, to break Babe Ruth's record.

"Bad move by Commissioner Rob Manfred, who has not had a press conference to tell the world just what he found so wrong about the law."

Biden adds stupidity to his lies about Georgia’s voting laws

. . . "If you step back from the hysteria and look at what Democrats are actually saying it’s this: Blacks are too stupid to get an ID."  . . .

Andrea Widburg  "If Biden were merely senile, I’d fear for America, but perhaps summon up some sympathy for him. But he’s not merely senile. He’s a vicious, creepy, stupid man, and his non-stop attacks on Georgia are Exhibit A in the case against him. In his latest pronouncements, not only did Biden continue to lie about the Georgia law, but he implied that the Masters Tournament should move from Augusta, Georgia, where it’s been held since 1934 as if golf courses are fungible, not unique." . . .

President Biden is asked if he supports moving the Masters out of Georgia:

 Biden’s Lies About Voter Law Cost Georgia The All-Star Game

President Biden and White House press secretary Jen Psaki continued to make false claims about Georgia’s voting law even after they were debunked. Within 48 hours of Biden’s ESPN interview, MLB announced they were pulling the All-Star game.

. . . "Just a few days later, Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler – who is no friend to Republicans – wrote a detailed fact check debunking Biden’s repeated claims about Georgia voting hours:

One could understand a flub in a news conference. But then this same claim popped up in an official presidential statement. Not a single expert we consulted who has studied the law understood why Biden made this claim, as this was the section of law that expanded early voting for many Georgians.

Somehow Biden managed to turn that expansion into a restriction aimed at working people, calling it “among the outrageous parts” of the law. There’s no evidence that is the case. The president earns Four Pinocchios.

Nobody can fake intense sincerity like Joe. The key for our national leaders is sincerity; if you can fake that you've got it made. TD

On the way out the door, CNN’s Brooke Baldwin disses her employer of 13 years

. . . you finish this journey of holding space with women like Gloria Steinem, and Stacey Abrams, and Megan Rapinoe, and Indigenous women fighting, you know, for the planet, or the women cofounders of Black Lives Matter. . .(Wokeness 101)

Peter Barry Chowka     . . . "In fact, things are bad at CNN – and getting worse. After a bump in the ratings between last November’s election and early this year, things have returned to normal with CNN way back in second or third place, far behind the traditional cable news leader Fox News. Meanwhile, as the scandals involving Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) continue to roil, his brother Chris’s role as the governor’s #1 cheerleader on CNN have hardly enhanced the network’s flagging reputation for credibility." . . .

. . . "Interestingly, it is Fox News – a favorite target of CNN news and opinion shows – that features far more women in prominent hosting, reporting, and contributing roles than CNN ever has. Meanwhile, the CEO of Fox News is Suzanne Scott – the first woman to run a cable news channel. Prominent on-air personalities on Fox include Laura Ingraham, Shannon Bream, Harris Faulkner, and Martha MacCallum (who co-anchors the channel’s special programming with Bret Baier), and contributors or frequent guests Kayleigh McEnany, Candace Owens, Mollie Hemingway, and many others."
