Why the designated color for Democrats should NOT have been anything other than RED

Dark Angel Politics

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." . . .

Ocasio-Cortez’s “Green New Deal” Is Light On Specifics, But Plans To Eliminate “Cow Farts”   . . . "Build everything, everywhere:

"Eliminate cow farts:

Here's the link to her plan.

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." . . .

Hey, Commander! Start Commanding!

Ann Coulter  "It’s great that members of Congress have located specific legislative language permitting the president to build a border wall, but I’m wondering: Has anybody read the Constitution?

"It says:

“The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States.” “(The president) shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.”

"With millions of foreigners illegally pouring across our border, it sure looks like the laws are not being “faithfully executed.” I wonder if the COMMANDER IN CHIEF has any authority to stop it.

"The Constitution was expressly designed to make it difficult to do what our military does all the time — fight wars around the globe — and easy to do what our military never does — defend our own country.

"Congress was given power to “declare war,” but not to “make war,” for the precise purpose of stalling the march to war. It was a selling point that the legislative branch takes forever to do anything.

"But we had a country to protect, so the Constitution gave the energetic, fast-moving president the authority to deploy the military defensively.

"As Duke University constitutional law professor H. Jefferson Powell put it in his 2002 book, The President’s Authority over Foreign Affairs: “(T)he president has a constitutional responsibility, independent of any act of Congress … to preserve the physical safety … of the United States against foreign threat.' ” . . .

Undercover investigative journalist dismisses Sen. Harris' 2020 White House bid

One America News  "Controversy is swirling over Senator Kamala* Harris’ past criminal justice record. Undercover video journalist and pro-life advocate David Daleiden claims Harris once sent a SWAT team to raid his home when she was attorney general of California.

"One America’s Neil W. McCabe spoke to him about the situation."

*Rhymes with Pamela, sorta. Actually it is Kah-ma-la. Just so the left won't ridicule our intelligence. TD

The Case of Ralph Northam

Cartoons added by TD

The American Spectator  "Whatever is to be the ultimate fate of the wretched Governor Ralph Northam of the great commonwealth of Virginia, I wonder what he now thinks about those who use the term racism as loosely as he did in his race with Ed Gillespie. In his rabble-rousing 2017 campaign he actually rebuked Gillespie for Gillespie’s non-existent “racist rhetoric and fearmongering.” I do not recall his apologizing for that false charge in his apology-laden press conference over the weekend. Nor do I recall any apology from him about statements he made about long-term abortion during the past week. In his press conference he was apologizing for various recreations of his that occurred some 35 years ago.
"As everyone doubtless now knows, over three decades ago a picture appeared in Northam’s medical school yearbook portraying two people, one dressed in blackface, another dressed in the gothic paraphernalia of a Klansman, on his page. Claims were made that one of these bigots was Northam. The governor at first apologized for the picture. Then he denied it was he, though his apologies became even more fervent when he admitted to appearing on another occasion wearing “black shoe polish” on his face and mimicking Michael Jackson doing Jackson’s famed “moonwalk.” The roof caved in on Northam, with Republicans and Democrats in a lather to outdo each other in calling for his scalp — if I might still use the term. If I have committed an offense I, of course, apologize and that is a profuse apology, before Pocahontas gets into the act." . . .

Before Northam, Democrats Didn’t Just Dress Up as Klansmen   Shouldn't the Democrat Party be the ones to pay any reparations to Sharpton, Auntie Maxine, and Farrakhan?

President Trump Slams Socialism: 'America Was Founded on Liberty And Independence'

Never let 'em see you sweat, Bernie.

Beth Baumann  "One of the most defining moments of President Donald Trump's State of the Union address was when he slammed socialism, a clear reference to freshmen members of Congress who have called for higher taxes and Medicare For All. "Here in the United States, we are alarmed by the new calls to adopt socialism in our country. America was founded on liberty and Independence and not government coercion, domination, and control. We are born free, and we will stay free," Trump said.

"He also defended the principles America was founded on.

" 'America was founded on liberty and Independence and not government coercion, domination, and control. We are born free and we will stay free," he explained. "America will never be a socialist country.' " . . .

POLL STUNNERS: Both CBS and CNN Polls: 76 Percent of Viewers Approve President Trump’s State of the Union Speech; CBS: 72 Percent Approve His Immigration Ideas

"CBS News and CNN released instant polls taken immediately after President Trump’s State of the Union address with both polls finding 76 percent of those who watched approved of the speech. The CBS poll 72 percent approved of Trump’s immigration proposals while the CNN poll showed 76 percent approval with 59 percent “very positive.” (Tweet) CBS Evening News anchor Jeff Glor reported on the poll results. (Tweet) Pro-Trump CNN commenter Steve Cortes posted CNN’s results of 76 percent approval and 59 percent “very positive”. (Tweet Posted By:JoniTx )

The Gateway Pundit. . .  "Peggy Noonan, a former speech writer for President Reagan and no fan of President Trump, praised his speech tonight, saying, “This has been a deeply adept speech in terms of policy. He cut to the muscle on legal and illegal immigration, on abortion and infanticide, on foreign wars. His vow on socialism will be remembered. Great heroes in the balcony, a real American panoply. 1…And good natured with the white jackets, who I see some on twitter are calling the straight jackets. AOC had a rare bad night, looking not spirited, warm and original as usual but sullen, teenaged and at a loss. 2.' ” . . .

Because when people get to actually hear the President and he's not filtered by #FAKENEWS, they like what he says and what he's accomplished FOR US ALL!

Trump's SOTU reveals the angry ladies of the left

. . . It was a pathetic, un-American spectacle, those women.  In the end, they are about one thing, one thing only: rage. Rage at whom and what?  Who knows?  But it cannot be the country.  Look at where they are, the success they've attained.  Each of them is an example of the opportunity, freedom, and equality that only this nation provides, and still they are angry.  They still want to abort fully formed infants, tax the rich into oblivion, and impose Venezuelan-style socialism on us all. . . .

Patricia McCarthy . . . "The only part of the speech they sincerely applauded was themselves – more women in Congress.  For most of the rest of the speech, they sat on their hands, looking mad (Mazie Hirono), glum (all of them), petulant and dismissive (Kamala Harris), bored and studiously disinterested (Nancy Pelosi).  Pelosi, along with Schumer, the rudest person in Congress ever, seemed to be masticating something throughout the entire speech.  Her bizarre mouth movements are as annoying as they are distracting. 

"These angry women could not have better demonstrated who and what the Democratic Party is today." . . .

. . . "The magic moment, among many in the speech, was when Trump said, "This will never be a socialist country."  The applause was the loudest of the evening, which was a relief.  The socialists in Congress are a noisy bunch, but they are a decided minority who will never win the rest of us over.  But the ladies in white could not stand." . . .

Trump’s bizarrely brilliant State of the Union speech  . . . "Then Trump advised them to stay standing because they were going to like the next sentence — a sentence about how there were more women in Congress than ever before. To which they and their fellow Democrats began chanting “USA! USA!” — in the middle of a Trump speech! And the president looked down upon these people for whom the word “impeachment” is a mantra … and smiled." . . .

Democrats Just Can't Stop Playing Their 'Woman Card'

" . . . And if a candidate who truly believes in it happens to wear a lipstick, so be it, she may count on my vote just as much as a candidate who wears a tie. But until the Democrats come to their senses and quit adopting unnatural and purely dangerous socialist rhetoric and policies, no number of beautiful ladies on the stage can change my mind."  . . .

Veronika Kyrylenko  . . . “I started the campaign knowing that I would have to work extra hard to make women and men feel comfortable with the idea of a woman president,” Mrs. Clinton told CBS’s Jane Pauley, when reflecting on the causes of her defeat.
"Many feminists agree that it was a rampant sexism of voters that cost her the presidency. “What actually happened to Hillary Clinton reeks of misogyny,” wrote Rachael Revesz in The Independent. “It reeks so badly that you can smell it stronger than a sniffer dog can suss out crack cocaine.” Later, Hillary complained that women don’t support each other as much as ethnic minorities do – which allowed for Obama’s election, but not hers. The other problem, as indicated by Mrs. Clinton, was that women let themselves be pushed around by their husbands, fathers, boyfriends and male bosses “not to vote for the ‘girl’.”

"Hillary, who deliberately emphasized her gender during the campaign and positioned herself as a champion of women’s rights and vigorously played the “woman card,” found herself a victim of negative gender stereotypes. 
. . . 
Thus, it wasn’t Hillary being a “girl” that made her lose, even despite her outraising and outspending her opponent by hundreds of millions of dollars and having commercial airwaves practically all for herself – it was her being a deeply corrupt and power-hungry Beltway insider. She lost as a candidate, not as a woman-candidate. Americans, those pitiful deplorables, were wiser than Hillary thought of them and saw her through.

Mary Poppins is branded racist by US academic over famous rooftop scene because when she gets covered in soot she 'gamely powders her nose and cheeks and gets even blacker'

I'm afraid to ask how much sillier things can get. TD

UK Daily Mail

"Dame Julie Andrews’s performance as Mary Poppins is racist, says a US academic who accuses her of ‘blacking up’ when her face is covered with soot as she dances with chimney sweeps.

"The scene in which Poppins joins Dick Van Dyke’s Bert and his fellow sweeps on a rooftop for the song Step In Time is one of the best-loved moments in the 1964 Disney classic.

"But writing in the New York Times under the headline ‘Mary Poppins, and a Nanny’s Shameful Flirting With Blackface,’ Professor Daniel Pollack-Pelzner attacks the scene. Not surprisingly, the film’s legions of devoted fans have reacted with disbelief.

Racist photo!

"The literature professor acknowledges that Poppins’s face is covered with soot because she has gone up the chimney with her charges, Michael and Jane Banks." . . .

. . . "Fans online have reacted with fury to the professor’s views. One derided the piece as ‘a candidate for the stupidest New York Times article for some time’.

"Another said: ‘Mary Poppins wasn’t flirting with black face! It was soot in their faces from being up a chimney!!!! Stop spreading racism claims on non-racist things like this.’ A third wrote: ‘Come on now, leave Mary Poppins out of this! Chimney sweeps in London DID have coal dust on their faces. Didn’t make them, or Mary for that matter, racist.’ " . . .

Will the racism never stop?
