Squad Member Takes 'Defund the Police' to a Terrifying New Level

 PJ Media

"Even as the Joe Biden White House tries to accuse Republicans of “defunding the police,” some Democrats want to slash funding not only for cops on the beat but also for officers at the border — in the middle of a border crisis! Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), one of the members of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s infamous “squad,” called for the effective elimination of Customs and Border Patrol (CBP), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the entire Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

“ 'We must eliminate funding for CPB [sic], ICE, and their parent organization, DHS,” Tlaib said. “Time after time, we have seen it… that these agencies are inept at humanely guiding migrants through our immigration system. Instead, they further continue to terrorize migrant communities located within our communities.”. . . 

"Tlaib further suggested that CBP, ICE, and DHS are “targeting communities of color, in a way that… very much violates human rights,” an echo of the accusation that police forces are infected with “institutional racism.”

"In calling for the “elimination of funding” to not just ICE and CBP but DHS, Tlaib demanded that the federal government effectively dismantle the agency in charge of all federal law enforcement — from border agents to DEA agents who focus on cartels to the officers who protect the federal courthouse in Portland.

"Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) suggested that Tlaib and her fellow Democrats “want to turn America into a sanctuary country for all illegal aliens from around the world.”

“ 'It would be interesting to me if Rashida Tlaib would explain exactly who she thinks should be excluded from our country when they show up at our border… or who should be deported,” Cotton mused. “Maybe her answer would be conservatives or Republicans or anyone who voted for Trump last year.”. . . 

To find those who hate this nation and her people, look no further than Democrats. We see the hate in their eyes and recognize their anger from the War Between the States and the Ku Klux Klan.

The Glorious Death of American Legacy Media, and What Comes Next

As Ace of Spades noted, Stelter is incapable of holding an audience for an hour unless he can demonize and complain about a high-profile conservative target. And without Donald Trump as a viable target, it’s clear he and his producers have decided [Tucker] Carlson is the best thing going.

 The American Spectator

The public doesn’t trust our corporate media talking heads, and almost nobody is paying attention to them anymore.

"There was, over the weekend amid a cacophony of media resistance to the formerly unifying celebration of America’s Independence Day, one of the most amateurish and ridiculous cartoons ever produced.

"It came courtesy of Communist China’s Xinhua News Agency, a propaganda shop with its rhetorical guns aimed at the American people and the ideas of our founding. The cartoon depicted a pair of white guys in suits clinking glasses together with “TO FREEDOM” in a quote bubble above their heads, and just to their right a crazed lunatic in a ski hat held a pistol in one hand and an AR-15 style rifle in the other with “OF SHOOTING” in a quote bubble above his. The mass shooter, as he’s clearly supposed to be, is standing over a gravestone upon which is written “DEATH FROM FIREARM.”

"And in the text of the tweet in which the cartoon appears, the Chinese communist apparatchiks at Xinhua said, “How a gun-happy nation spends its #FourthofJuly weekend.”

"The first obvious reaction to this is best expressed not verbally but with a middle finger at a murderous, tyrannical, psychotic regime that has literally killed more human beings than any other in the 100 years since it was birthed into the world as a revolutionary political party. But beyond that is something else, namely gleeful ridicule of the hilariously gawky and ignorant use of the English language by the Xinhua flacks attempting the cartoon."

The news media is just one more cultural institution in America that the Left — not just the liberals, who have run the news media in America almost from the very beginning, but the Left, as in the Marxists of cultural and other bents — has utterly destroyed.

Poll: Most Americans Believe Biden Not Running the Show at the White House The discussion this morning on the ClayAndBuck show had Bill O'Reilly who claimed the country was being run by the Obamas through their friends such as Ron Klain and Susan Rice.

"Americans have watched for the last six months as Biden struggles to pronounce words and form sentences. The same media that told us to be worried about Trump’s cognitive state now" cheers when Biden is able to order ice cream."

Majority Of Americans Believe That ‘Others,’ Not Biden, Are Calling The Shots In The White House: Poll – "31.7% of Democrat voters do not believe that President Biden is fully executing the duties of his office, while 58.6% believe he is directing all policy and agenda"

WestExec represented major corporations throughout the Trump years. Now it’s in the White House.   . . . " The pipeline has produced a dominance of WestExec alums throughout the administration, installed in senior roles as influential as director of national intelligence and secretary of state.

"Who the Hell Is in Charge?" asks Kurt Schlichter  . . . "Over in Europe, America is giving the farm away to Putin, who used to be the worst guy ever but now gets the thumbs-up for a big gas pipeline to Germany. Oh, and Ukraine’s lethal aid to defend itself from Russia is held up – wait, didn’t we impeach someone for not giving Ukrainians aid? And in Geneva, someone is negotiating with the mullahs, by which I mean begging them to enter into an agreement where they pretend to not be making the Bomb anymore." . . .

The Left’s Critical Race Theory Is Ruining U.S. Public Education

Issues & Insights  "A radical teachers’ union has a message for parents: We control your children, not you. And it means to prove it by shoving Marxist Critical Race Theory (CRT) down your kids’ throats, part of the union’s ongoing effort to “fundamentally change” America. If you want the best for your children’s education, you’ll say “hell, no!” to this pernicious, anti-American ideology.

"Unfortunately, many centrist and conservative parents have looked the other way as our nation’s once-superior public schools have been taken over by leftist unions and their “educator” allies, using race-based Marxist CRT as their tool. It’s a pity.

"Just last weekend, the 3-million-strong National Education Association, the largest labor union in America, stated its outright opposition to parents’ groups and state legislatures seeking to end CRT’s baleful influence on a whole generation of school kids.

"Doubling down, the NEA announced not just its support for CRT, but also said it would encourage teachers to hold a “national day of action” each year on martyr George Floyd’s birthday to “teach lessons about structural racism and oppression.”

"No parents needed. In fact, teachers are actively opposing parents who don’t like what they’re doing. The NEA last week, for instance, also voted to “research” (that is, spy on and politically attack) groups that oppose CRT in our nation’s schools.

“NEA will research the organizations attacking educators doing anti-racist work and/or use the research already done and put together a list of resources and recommendations for state affiliates, locals, and individual educators,” the union threatened." . . .

Foreign Reporters Shred Biden as a 'Barely Cogent,' 'Bizarre' 'Human Corpse'

The free world is run by a bloke who most probably couldn't find his way home after dark'

. . . "Also on Monday, fellow Sky News Australia host Andrew Bolt of “The Bolt Report” played footage of Biden struggling to answer a reporter’s question about Russian hacking during a trip to a Michigan farm store.

"Biden paused for a ponderously long time before taking out note cards to read the answer someone had prepared for him.

“ 'If Putin sees this footage, and I’m sure he will, what will he conclude about the guy leading the world’s biggest superpower?” Bolt asked Michael Costa, the former treasurer of New South Wales and a member of the Labor Party.

“ 'I believe he realizes he isn’t leading the superpower,” replied Costa.

“ 'We can rest assured that the American political establishment has some degree of control over policy; I don’t think Joe Biden does.”

"That dovetails with the views of the majority of U.S. citizens.

"A new poll from the Trafalgar Group found that “56.5% of American voters do not believe that President Biden is fully executing the duties of his office.”

“ 'If Trump was doing this, it would be everywhere — all over the press,” Costa said." 

NYT: Why Are All These Racist Losers So Angry?

 Ann Coulter

For someone worried about the erosion of "democratic norms," maybe Edsall shouldn't be referring to the outcome of a free and fair U.S. presidential election as a "right-wing takeover of the federal government." We had an election, pal.

. . . "Specific policy decisions were made to import an endless stream of low-skilled workers. Employers got boatloads of cheap labor, while ordinary Americans saw their wages plummet.

"Oh, and if we're pretending to care about "democratic norms," Americans have voted for less immigration over and over and over again. If anyone in the establishment gives a crap about "democratic norms," then why do they keep foisting more immigration on us?

"Specific policy decisions were made to explicitly discriminate against white men in order to give jobs to women, simply because they were women.

"I give you Kamala Harris (Biden's one job requirement for his VP: must be a woman of color); every police chief in the nation (save a couple of black men); and Kara Hultgreen, (who died when she crashed a $38 million F-14 after being continuously promoted despite repeated training failures, because the Navy wanted a female fighter pilot).

"Americans don't care about "the gender pay gap," climate change or international institutions. They deserve what's coming to them!"

Good grief, Joe even lies about baseball!

In reality, Joe went zero for two at bats in his second congressional baseball game – one strike-out and a ground-out.

 Dianny

"Is there nothing Joe Biden won’t lie about? He lied about his acts of derring-do in Afghanistan while pinning a medal on a soldier under enemy fire. He lied about being a college professor at the University of Pennsylvania. He lied about getting arrested by South African police while trying to visit Nelson Mandela, for crap’s sake. And now he’s lying about what a great baseball player he is.

"I mean, is there nothing sacred? Does Joe Biden even have to ruin baseball with his lies?

"Of course the biggest and most consequential lie Joe told was last August when he asked Pennsylvania voters “Do I look like a radical socialist with a soft spot for crime?” But technically, that wasn’t the lie. It’s the fact that he expected the answer to be “No, not at all, Joe” that was a bald-faced lie — as we well enough know today." . . .

. . . "I was super busy yesterday trying to catch up on chores, so I missed this particular story until I saw it this morning over at Ace of Spades. I love Ace. Here’s how he titled it “Grampa Cottonhead Claims That He Hit a 368 Foot Shot in Major League Baseball Stadium.”

“Grampa Cottonhead.” God bless Ace. He’s hilarious.

"See, Joe played host to the Los Angeles Dodgers last week. And since those guys are a baseball team, Joe had a tailor-made baseball lie just for the occasion."...More...

Celebrities push Biden to oppose controversial Minnesota pipeline

The Hill  "Celebrities including Leonardo DiCaprio, Katy Perry and Mark Ruffalo are trying to push the Biden administration to oppose the controversial Line 3 pipeline in Minnesota, highlighting concerns about Indigenous rights and climate change."

“Construction of the project is an unfolding human rights crisis. Operating it over its lifetime would significantly exacerbate the climate crisis. It fails any reasonable test of climate justice,” reads a Wednesday letter, which was signed by a total of 200 people, including Jane Fonda, Amy Schumer, Orlando Bloom, Danny Glover, Joaquin Phoenix and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Tom Steyer. 

"Enbridge's Line 3 vessel has spurred significant protests, as well as court challenges. 

"Its opponents say the project will negatively impact land and water where tribes hunt, fish and gather wild rice. Many have also objected to the fact that it would carry carbon-intensive tar sands oil from Canada. 

"In a press conference on Wednesday, Ruffalo argued that Biden should try to put a stop to the pipeline for the communities that came out to vote for him." . . .

Exclusive: Sen. John Barrasso – Republicans Must Unite in 2022 to Stop Joe Biden’s ‘Freight Train to Socialism’

 Breitbart Politics

"CODY, Wyoming — Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) called for Republicans to unite during the 2022 midterms in order to stop President Joe Biden’s agenda.

“ 'It’s the freight train to socialism,” he said. “They have the possibility with Schumer, Pelosi, and Biden — together the three of them, we as a nation are always at risk.”

"First elected as a U.S. in 2007, Barrasso has risen in the ranks of Republican leadership to the position of chairman of the party conference, the third-ranking member in Senate.

"During the 4th of July holiday, Barrasso appeared at a parade in Cody, Wyoming and a celebration of freedom and America’s veterans before he spoke about the current political climate with Breitbart News." . . .

Comment to the above by crudbud: 

Senator, you should have united from 2016 to 2020 but you didn't and YOU in particular did not unite with Trump.

You and many of your fellow Republican Senators united but it was to elect Biden in 2020. Of the 53 republican senators only a handful openly supported Trump during his term, while many were silent and at least 5-10 were openly supporting Biden.

There should have been a wall but you didn't support that. There should have been higher taxes on people like Buffett and Soros but you didn't support that. There should have been repeal of Obamacare but your pal John McCain opposed that despite promising his voters he would vote to repeal it. You didn't speak out for Trump while he was lynched in 2 impeachments and the Mueller fiasco. You didn't speak out when there was clear evidence of Biden's family corruption. You didn't speak out when Trump's family, friends and business associates were harassed and vilified. You didn't speak out when Trump, his family and business associates were illegally spied on.

I tell you what I will do. I will remember what you and your fellow republican senators did to black implementation of Trump's policies.

Sorry Senator but I will not unite around you. 

If what he does now is the smart thing to have done then, you would have supported Barrasso. So support him now. He is the man with one eye in the land of the blind. TD

Biden Official Challenges Reporter During Press Briefing, Doesn’t Go Well

Let's do pushups! C'mon man!

Daily Wire   "State Department spokesman Ned Price challenged a reporter with The Associated Press during a Tuesday press briefing and quickly had his dignity handed back to him when the reporter was able to easily refute Price’s spin.

"Associated Press reporter Matt Lee pressed Price on the notion that the Biden administration was helpless to reverse course on things that the prior administration did. The exchange came in the context of talking about the U.S. removing its forces from Afghanistan.

" 'This administration inherited plenty from the previous administration that it absolutely reversed,” Lee said. “Are you saying that you’re not – you have a – you’re not confident in your negotiating skills that you could have renegotiated with – that you couldn’t have renegotiated a deal with the Taliban and that the – and are you saying that the President, in fact, didn’t want to take troops out, didn’t want to withdraw?”

AOC influence in question after Eric Adams defeats her picks for NYC mayor

Fox News   

"AOC is popular in her district, but mayoral primary results indicate other parts of NY may not feel the same"

Candidate for Congress Desi Cuellar rips AOC for minimizing crime wave

. .  . "While Ocasio-Cortez remains wildly popular in her district, the mayoral race indicates that her influence may not extend far beyond that. Her congressional district is located in areas of the Bronx and Queens. According to a map of unofficial results from the first round of voting published by Gothamist, the Bronx overwhelmingly supported Adams, and while Wiley fared better in Queens her support was largely limited to the western part of the borough while the rest was mainly split among Adams, Garcia and Andrew Yang.

"It remains to be seen whether the failure to draw voters to her progressive cause in her own boroughs – let alone New York City as a whole – could impact Ocasio-Cortez's decision on where her career could take her next." . . .

Associated Press Declares Eric Adams Winner of NYC Democratic Mayoral Primary "Adams is considered a moderate as far as NYC politicians go so this should be interesting."  Next to de Blasio I'm sure he is, but lets hope he isn't another David Dinkins.

. . . "Adams is considered a moderate, who supports Israel and received Jewish support. He’s also a former police officer. Garcia is not as far-left as other candidates, but she is a career politician within NYC.

"I have a feeling the progressives and far-left do not like him.

"Who knows. It would not shock me if Garcia launches a recount or contests the vote." . . .
