ABC News hammered for making it look like AOC, Omar were handcuffed at abortion rally

 ABC News hammered for making it look like AOC, Omar were handcuffed at abortion rally | Fox News

'How are you not humiliated?,' conservative author Carmine Sabia asked the news outlet

The photos featured in the report, along with others shared on the network’s Twitter account, depicted AOC and Omar standing facing the camera with police behind them. Both lawmakers had their hands behind their backs, giving casual readers the impression that both were handcuffed and being escorted by police. 

But that didn’t stop AOC and her staff from trumpeting the arrest as though she were heading to Gitmo. Her response to people noting her pretending to be in handcuffs? She claimed it was a Republican conspiracy theory."

AOC Reacts to Mockery Over Viral Video of Her Being Escorted by Police Officer (conservativefighters.co) 

 . . ."Footage of AOC and fellow “Squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) walking away with their arms behind their back — in Omar’s case, with no officer near her — drew scorn from Republicans and conservatives.

“The ‘just wants attention’ assumption is often a deeply false and misogynistic one that people readily adopt about women quickly and without much critical thought,” AOC insisted on Instagram Wednesday. “Why would a woman ‘just want attention’ if doing so hurts herself and her career?”

Soros to Beto's rescue

 Silvio Canto, Jr.

"How do you convince Texas voters that you are the new Beto? Do you accept a $1 million campaign donation from George Soros?  This is the story:    

Democratic mega-donor George Soros and an Austin-area couple each gave $1 million to Beto O'Rourke's campaign to unseat Gov. Greg Abbott. While Texans gave $14.5 million to the Democrat's campaign, nearly half of O'Rourke's record-breaking $27.6 million fundraising haul came from out-of-state donors.

"Out of state like George Soros?

"Money is money and every campaign is looking for it, but Soros money comes with a certain reputation.  In other words, Soros is usually supporting primary challenges to centrist Democrats. Just ask Rep. Henry Cuellar, who survived a primary challenge because a guy named George supported his opponent. Soros money is going to support a lot if leftist candidates, as we see in this report:   

Ahead of the 2022 midterms, Democracy PAC has already cut big checks to two major Democratic super PACs aligned with the party’s congressional leadership: $2.5 million to Senate Majority PAC and $1 million to House Majority PAC.". . .

‘Biden Was Warned About This’: DeSantis Wrecks POTUS On ‘Bidenflation,’ Predicts More Pain By Admin’s Actions

 


‘Biden Was Warned About This’: DeSantis Wrecks POTUS On ‘Bidenflation,’ Predicts More Pain By Admin’s Actions | The Daily Wire  . . ."Speaking of ANWR (Arctic National Wildlife Refuge), Alaska, DeSantis said “there’s more oil and gas up there than in Saudi Arabia. It’s a massive, massive opportunity and basically from the time Biden’s come in, he said, ‘No, no, no.'”
"'Well, of course that’s going to cause [inflation], and it’s not just fuel prices,” the Republican explained. “When energy prices are going up the way they are, that permeates the entire economy. It’s more [expensive] to transport … goods … everything is permeated by that, and it helps contribute to rising prices.”
"“Let’s do what we can at the federal level to reverse some of the policies that have caused this,” DeSantis said. “And let’s try to give people relief throughout our economy, and if they did that it would make a really significant difference.  But they have not shown an inclination to do that.”. . .

Biden’s Response To Inflation Is Getting ‘More Erratic’ | Project Patriot  . . ."Since getting into the White House, Joe Biden has created an inflation crisis that is quite literally crippling the lives of the American people.
"Thanks to Biden’s spending packages, stimulus checks, etc., inflation is at a high that has not been seen in nearly four decades. To add insult to injury, the wages earned by the average American are not even coming close to keeping up with inflation.
"Meanwhile, as prices naturally rise due to inflation, interest rates are also climbing. The uptick in inherent rates is a maneuver by the federal government to offset inflation. However, this only serves to squeeze the American public further.
"Biden, for his part, has been all over the place when it comes to inflation. First, he said inflation wouldn’t be an issue. Then, Biden claimed inflation would be nothing more than “transitory.' ”. . .

Biden's war on domestic energy is a factor in this inflation at the food markets.  Fertilizer is a byproduct of domestic energy production and it is another reason the Biden "energy transition" policy is counterproductive.  Then there is the additional cost of getting the food to market.
 

'Ohio Man' Rapes 10-Year-Old

 Ann Coulter

There's no question that the national media would never have breathed a word about the Fuentes case -- but for the doubters. So a big shoutout to the feminists for putting abortion-on-demand above open borders. If only politicians cared as much about our country as pro-choicers do about abortion.
"I, for one, am tickled pink that our ruling class has finally come out against child rape. This is something new. For several decades now, the position of government officials, both political parties, think tanks, the Bush family, district attorneys and the entire media has been: 
We're going to foist primitive, peasant cultures on America and then lie to the public about how this is changing our country.

"We recently found out abou
t one big way that third-world immigrants are enriching us. Soon after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the media began talking nonstop about a "10-year-old rape victim" who couldn't get an abortion in Ohio and had to travel to Indiana. The "10-year-old rape victim" was discussed on a loop on MSNBC and even made it into a speech by President Joe Biden.
"But then, a bunch of spoilsports started questioning whether "10-year-old rape victim" existed. The attorney general of Ohio said on July 12 he had no evidence of a 10-year-old rape victim, despite the reporting of such a crime being mandatory.
"With their backs against the wall, the pro-abortion crowd broke longstanding strictures against mentioning the rapey-ness of our "New Americans" by producing the rapist: Gerson Fuentes, 27, an illegal alien from Guatemala.
"The abortion ladies thought they could get away with revealing the child rape victim, while refusing to reveal the child rape perpetrator. When that failed, they wantonly defied the rest of their coalition and told the truth about one of the Democrats' pets, an illegal immigrant.". . .
