Tucker Carlson said there's 'no place on Earth' that AOC 'would be recognized' as a 'woman of color'
Tucker Carlson Said AOC Is an 'Entitled White Lady' (businessinsider.com)
"Tucker Carlson on Friday derided Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, saying she's not a woman of color.
"Carlson made the remarks on his Fox News' show "Tucker Carlson Tonight" after he aired a clip showing the progressive lawmaker giving her social-media fans a makeup tutorial. In the clip, Ocasio-Cortez referred to herself as a woman of color.
""No one ever dares to challenge that description, but every honest person knows it is hilariously absurd," Carlson said, calling it "funny."
""There is no place on Earth outside of American colleges and newsrooms where Sandy Cortez would be recognized as a quote, woman of color, because she's not," he added.
"Carlson often calls the New York lawmaker "Sandy Cortez," media watchdog Mediaite noted. Ocasio-Cortez used the nickname "Sandy" while in high school, Vox previously reported.
"Ocasio-Cortez's mother is from Puerto Rico, and she has called herself a woman of color multiple times.
"But Carlson on Friday said: "She's a rich entitled white lady."
" 'She's the pampered obnoxious ski bunny in the matching snowsuit who tells you to pull up your mask while you're standing in the lift line at Jackson Hole," he added. "They're all the same. It doesn't matter what shade they are.' ". . .

When Asked Why Putin Would Invade Under Biden, Not Trump
Because the whole thing about Trump being a Putin stooge was just so much nonsense. Biden, and Obama before him, are the ones who have bent over for Putin at every turn, and he knows that he can just walk all over them and they wouldn’t respond. Biden keeps showing that again and again. But, folks on the left don’t want to deal with that reality. When you show weakness as Biden constantly does, people will have you for lunch.
"Watching the Biden Administration do foreign policy, particularly in the middle of a crisis, is like watching a slow train wreck. You know they’re going to hit that car that’s lying up ahead in the tracks, but they just keep speeding headlong into it.
"Unfortunately, we saw what a horrible debacle that turned into in Afghanistan — and it doesn’t seem like they learned anything from that with the way they are responding to the Russian threat on Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has been begging for the West, and specifically the United States, to put in pre-emptive sanctions to back Russia off. While Joe Biden has claimed that an invasion is imminent, he has refused to do that, which makes no sense — unless what he wants is war.
"Blinken reiterated that approach on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday, saying they wouldn’t impose sanctions until “the tanks are actually moving, the planes are actually flying, the bombs are actually dropping.”. . .
Does the Rise of Black Conservatives Signal a Turning Point for the GOP?
"It has often been said that the Republican Party is the “party of old white men.” Indeed, when one looks at the party’s makeup, one can easily see why this moniker has persisted for so many decades. However, there are signs that times are a-changing, and the conservative movement is beginning to look a little different.
"Newsweek’s Steve Friess wrote an article titled “GOP Bets on Black Conservatives As Key to Victory: ‘We Change or We Die,’” in which he detailed the increasing prevalence of black conservatives running for office as Republicans.
Ten years after its “autopsy” of Mitt Romney’s 2012 loss to Barack Obama concluded that the Republican Party’s biggest problem was its failure to appeal to voters of color, 2022 is shaping up as a breakthrough year for the GOP on at least one diversity front: Black candidates.
"The author noted that in several recent races, black Republican candidates “drew slightly larger, potentially decisive shares of Black votes compared to the white Republicans running alongside them for other offices in their states.” This could be an indicator that the GOP might finally realize they can win when running black candidates. Even further, Republican leadership seems to be coming around to the idea that the party can increase its share of black votes, if they put forth a genuine effort.". . .

San Francisco DA Boudin Denounces SFPD Use of Sexual Assault Victim DNA in Crime Investigations – CBS San Francisco (cbslocal.com) "San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin on Monday denounced the use of rape kit DNA as crime evidence against sexual assault victims, reportedly in connection with a recent SFPD investigation.
"Boudin’s office said that the district attorney has learned that a law enforcement database with DNA collected from sexual assault victims was currently being used to searched for and identify possible suspects in other crimes. Boudin condemned the practice.
“ 'Rapes and sexual assault are violent, dehumanizing, and traumatic. I am disturbed that victims who have the courage to undergo an invasive examination to help identify their perpetrators are being treated like criminals rather than supported as crime victims,” Boudin said in the release. “We should encourage survivors to come forward — not collect evidence to use against them in the future. This practice treats victims like evidence, not human beings. This is legally and ethically wrong.”
"According to a report published in the San Francisco Chronicle, Boudin’s criticism stems from a case he learned about last week where San Francisco police linking a woman to a recent property crime by using DNA from a years-old rape kit.". . .
When Fascism Comes To America, It Will Look Like Justin Trudeau’s Canada (UPDATED)
Trudeau’s dangerous not just because he’s abusing Canadians, but because he is providing the wish list for crackdowns by Democrats in the U.S.: “every single bank, credit union, investment broker and insurance provider in the country has been deputized to figure out if they have a blockader as a client, and to immediately freeze their accounts if so.”
"If Justin Trudeau had merely removed trucks from blocking a bridge in protest of vaccine mandates, it would be no big deal. Protesters for various causes routinely get removed from blocking traffic.
"But that’s not all Justin Trudeau did. He suspended civil liberties in Canada, targeting peaceful protesters and anyone who supports them. Not because those supporters committed a crime, but because they supported the political opposition to Trudeau’s government.
"Trudeau ordered all financial institutions to freeze the assets of his political opposition without court order and with full immunity from liability, and no financial asset was spared.
“The names of both individuals and entities as well as crypto wallets have been shared by the RCMP with financial institutions and accounts have been frozen and more accounts will be frozen.”. . .
Here We Go: Some Emergency Measures in Canada Will Not End – PJ Media "How predictable was this? On Thursday, I wrote an article comparing Trudeau’s Emergencies Act to Adolf Hitler’s Enabling Act that established his dictatorship and pointed out that while Hitler’s Act was supposed to be temporary, when it came up for renewal, his opponents had all been outlawed, imprisoned, or killed, and there was no one left to raise a dissenting voice. Trudeau’s invocation of the Emergencies Act was supposed to be temporary as well, but on Friday, Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland announced the Trudeau regime’s intention to make some of their new authoritarian powers permanent. This, my friend, is how democracies die.". . .

OMG this man is hot as a pistol and nailed this situation perfectly. As a Canadian, I must thank our American neighbors and press coverage like this to argue on behalf of the truckers. Our media is co-opted and completely dishonest in most cases and fully propagandizes on behalf of the govt

Pastor Artur Pawlowski's family say he has been treated poorly in prison and is fasting to seek answer from God
"Supporters of a Canadian pastor who has spent the past week in Calgary Remand Centre after speaking to members of the Freedom Convoy have organized vigils at various Canadian consulates in the United States to protest his treatment Tuesday.
"Pastor Artur Pawlowski, who remains in solitary confinement for 23 hours per day, according to his lawyer, was arrested last Monday after he spoke to members of the trucker blockade along the U.S.-Canada border in Coutts, Alberta, on Feb. 3.
"During a 20-minute speech to the truckers, the pastor urged them to "hold the line" against government overreach without resorting to violence. They had reportedly reached an agreement to abandon their blockade of the U.S. border and travel to Edmonton until changing their minds following Pawlowski's address.

"Pawlowski also recounted to them the parallels he sees between the Freedom Convoy and Poland's Solidarity movement in the 1980s that ultimately led to the liberation of his native country, despite a crackdown from its communist government.
‘We don’t fight with guns and swords'
"Pawlowski's most recent arrest marked his fifth since the pandemic. He first made international headlines last April when he threw armed police out of his sanctuary when they attempted to inspect it for COVID-19 compliance during an Easter service.". . .
The police have been persecuted way too much in America; I hate for this misuse of our guardians to provide propaganda to the left. TD
Trudeau Is Now an Authoritarian - The American Spectator | USA News and Politics The liberties guaranteed by the Canadian Constitution are now subject to his veto.

The profound constitutionalist John Selden reflected on this shortly after the king’s execution and before the eventual restoration of the constitution after Oliver Cromwell’s death: . . ."

‘We’re in danger of forgetting’: congressman’s warning 80 years after Japanese American incarceration
Congressman Mark Takano, whose family was forced into camps, calls for vigilance amid ‘nefarious nostalgia
"Eighty years ago, as anti-Japanese fervor gripped the US, the parents and grandparents of the California congressman Mark Takano were among 120,000 Japanese Americans forcibly removed from their homes and sent to desolate camps scattered across the west.
They were allowed to take only what they could carry. Everything else was sold, stored or left behind. Confined by barbed wire fences and armed military guards, their only offense was looking like the enemy.
“ 'They were incarcerated without any due process of law, never accused of a crime, never convicted of a crime but in an internment camp strictly because of their racial characteristics,” Takano told the Guardian.
"Two-thirds of those interned were American citizens, like Takano’s maternal grandparents and paternal grandmother. Many were American-born children, like his parents, far too young to pose a threat to national security, as was the spurious claim.
"What is remembered as one of the darkest chapters in American history was set in motion on 19 February 1942, 74 days after Japan attacked on Pearl Harbor, when Franklin Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066.
"On the 80th anniversary of Roosevelt’s order, an occasion marked by events from Hawaii to Idaho that will include many witnesses, Takano is worried.
“What I fear we’re in now is a moment of forgetting,” he said.". . .
Jean-Luc Brunel, held on suspicion of supplying girls to Epstein, found hanged
Former model agency boss accused of rape and suspected of trafficking minors has died in prison
"The former boss of a French model agency accused of rape and under investigation on suspicion of supplying underage girls to the late American financier Jeffrey Epstein has been found dead in prison.
"The body of Jean-Luc Brunel, 75, was reportedly found hanging in his cell in the early hours of Saturday. The French prosecutors’ office confirmed the report and said an inquiry had been opened into the exact cause of death, but early indications pointed to suicide.
"Brunel was arrested in December 2020 at Charles de Gaulle airport before boarding a plane for Dakar in Senegal where he told police he was going on holiday.
"He was officially put under investigation on allegations of the alleged rape of a minor and sexual harassment shortly after his arrest, and was put under a second investigation for the rape of a minor in June last year." . . .

In Texas, New Law Is Stopping the Steal
In Texas, New Law Is Stopping the Steal (townhall.com)
"Voter integrity is essential. It's popular. It's why for all the Democrats' yelling about how this, that, and the other is racist regarding new voter laws, these laws aren't going anywhere. Election security withstood an onslaught from Democrats' allies in the media. Then, it dawned on Democrats—gee, voter ID laws are popular.
"Yeah, they are—and always have been, fellas. Across the board, Americans support voter ID. This isn't new. The gaslighting began when Democrats, resigned to defeat, tried to say they always supported such measures. Wrong.
" 'Voter integrity laws is Jim Crow 2.0." "The GOP is racist."
"These tired and stale talking points are just noise that caused normal people to either shrug, change channels, or simply take some Advil and move on with their day. It's over. The Democrats' "Hail Mary" pass was to get their federal elections takeover bill through the Senate, which failed because they needed to nuke the filibuster. They didn't have the votes.
"With their primaries being held on March 1, Texas' new law is already stopping those who would steal elections. Scores of mail-in ballots are being rejected for not meeting voter ID requirements (via NPR): Weeks ahead of the state's March 1 primary, local election officials in Texas are sending mail-in ballots back to thousands of voters who had turned them in, citing issues with ID requirements created by the state's controversial new voting law. In Harris County — Texas' largest county, which is home to Houston — election officials said they'd received 6,548 mail-in ballots as of Saturday and had returned almost 2,500 — nearly 38% — for correction because of an incorrect ID. That's a far higher rejection rate than is typical. . . .
. . ."The high rejection rate should raise eyebrows. How many invalid ballots were counted in 2020? Who knows? Democrats have destroyed that evidence, but the real steal centered on the battleground states where Democratic secretaries of state unilaterally and illegally altered the voting laws without the consent of the state legislatures. Michigan and Pennsylvania specifically saw this occur in 2020. Are we shocked to learn that the state legislatures there are majority Republican? No way would these tweaks be passed, so Democrats did what they do best—cheat.
Biden Takes Questions From Reporters On Pre-Approved List…
Since 2021: Biden Using a Pre-approved List of Reporters to Call on Has Critics Asking One Question (townhall.com) . . ."While this is far from the first time he’s relied on a pre-approved list of reporters to take questions from, and he makes no effort to hide it (in Geneva, for example, during a visit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Biden said “as usual, folks, they gave me a list of the people I’m going to call on”), the tactic is raising the question among critics of who’s really in charge.
"Who is calling the shots behind the curtain?" tweeted Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN).Others wondered the same."
Biden has "BINDERS" of reporters apparently . . ." Were there no “binders full of women” in the Harvard Law Review offices when The One was president there?"
