}}The '''United States Marine Corps''' (USMC) is a branch of the [[United States]] armed forces. Resolutions of the [[Continental Congress]] established the United States Marine Corps on November 10, 1775. The official mission of the U.S. Marine Corps was established in the National Security Act of 1947, amended in 1952.<ref>{{cite web |title=United States Marine Corps (USMC) Mission and Organization Fundamentals |url=http://www.lejeune.usmc.mil/2dfssg/med/files/103.htm |publisher=Camp Lejeune |author=USMC |date= |accessdate= }}</ref><ref>Unclassified National Security Act of 1947. [http://intelligence.senate.gov/nsaact1947.pdf (PDF)],</ref> Marines are trained, organized and equipped for offensive amphibious employment and as a "force in readiness." The Marine Corps motto is ''[[Semper Fidelis]] ("always faithful")''.<ref>{{cite web |title=Marine Corps Motto |url=http://www.usmcpress.com/heritage/marine_corps_motto.htm |publisher=USMC Heritage |author=USMC Press |date= |accessdate= }}</ref> The U.S. Marine Corps operates under the United States [[Department of the Navy]], alongside the [[U.S. Navy]].

Concerned almost exclusively with shipboard security service and amphibious warfare in its formative years, the U.S. Marine Corps has evolved with war-tested, enhanced military strategies and [[American foreign policy]]; the Marines fill a unique, multi-purpose role within the modern United States [[military]]. By the early 20th century, the United States Marine Corps had become one of the most elite military forces in the world used for amphibious warfare. Its ability to rapidly respond to regional crises continues to make it an important body in the implementation and execution of [[American]] [[foreign policy]].

Each year, the Marine Corps marks November 10 with a [[celebration]] of the brave spirit which compelled these men and thousands since to defend the [[country]] as United States Marines.

== History ==
=== Founding of the Marine Corps ===

During the [[American Revolution]], some of the most important political discussions took place in the inns and taverns of [[Philadelphia]]. To support the 13 colonies in the struggle for [[independence]], a committee of the [[Continental Congress]] met at [[Tun Tavern]] to draft a resolution calling for two battalions of Marines able to fight for independence at sea and on shore. The resolution was approved on November 10, 1775, officially forming the Continental Marines.<ref>http://www.usmcpress.com/heritage/usmc_heritage.htm</ref>

Samuel Nicholas became Commandant of the newly formed Marines, and Tun Tavern’s owner and popular [[patriot]], Robert Mullan, became his first captain and recruiter. They began recruiting to gather support and were ready for action by early 1776. Since then, the Marine Corps has been winning battles and defending the [[United States of America]].

=== American Revolution ===

In the fall of 1775, the British were occupying [[Boston]] and the young Continental Army was holed up in Cambridge, extremely short on arms and ammunition. At the [[Battle of Bunker Hill]], Washington's troops had been so low on gunpowder that they were ordered "not to fire until you see the whites of their eyes." In October, a merchant ship called The Black Prince returned to Philadelphia from a voyage to [[England]]. On board were private letters to the Second [[Continental Congress]] that informed them that the British government was sending two ships to America loaded with arms and gunpowder for the [[British]] troops.

Congress decided that [[General Washington]] needed those arms more than [[General Howe]]. A plan was hatched to capture the British cargo ships. They authorized the creation of a Continental Navy, starting with four ships. The frigate that carried the information from England, the Black Prince, was one of the four. It was purchased, converted to a man-of-war, and renamed to Alfred. To accompany the Navy on their first mission, Congress also authorized the mustering of five companies of Marines. The Alfred and its sailors and marines went on to achieve some of the most notable victories of the [[American Revolution]].

What's most patriotic about this story is of the symbols some of the Marines were seen with before and during these crucial battles: the [[Gadsden Flag]].<ref>Cpl. Scott Schmidt. [http://marinesmagazine.dodlive.mil/2010/06/28/the-gadsden-flag-’don’t-tread-on-me’/ The Gadsden Flag: ’Don’t Tread on Me’], ''Marines Magazine'', June 28, 2010, (Accessed January 25, 2012).</ref> The symbol of this flag serves as a warning and sign, first seen against an overbearing - and increasingly hostile - Federal government. By 1775, the snake symbol wasn't just being printed in newspapers. It was appearing all over the colonies; it appeared on uniform buttons, on paper money, and of course, on banners and flags. At the birth of the [[U.S. Navy]] and the U.S. Marine Corps, what's particularly interesting for American history, is that some of the Marines that enlisted the very first month in Philadelphia were carrying drums painted yellow, emblazoned with a fierce rattlesnake, coiled and ready to strike, with thirteen rattles, and sporting the motto "Don't Tread on Me."<ref>Chris Whitten. [http://www.foundingfathers.info/stories/gadsden.html#birth The birth of the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Marine Corps], FoundingFathers.info, July 05, 2001, updated September 2002.</ref><ref>http://www.worldwar2history.info/Marines/</ref><ref>[http://www.gadsden.info/history.html Gadsden Flag History]</ref>

=== Famous Battles ===
==== The First Amphibious Raid ====
In 1776, just weeks after banding together, the Continental Marines successfully executed their first amphibious landing on a hostile shore. The [[British]] had stored large supplies of [[gunpowder]] at Fort Nassau in the [[Bahamas]] for later use against the thirteen colonies; Captain Samuel Nicholas and 234 Marines sailed with the Continental Navy on a mission to capture the supply. Within minutes of the Marines arrival, the British troops were outmatched and quickly surrendered. Captain Nicholas successfully acquired cannons and other military equipment, and the newly organized Marines completed their first amphibious raid.

==== To The Shores of Tripoli ====
In 1805, the United States government refused to meet the monetary demands of Barbary Coast [[pirates]] - a threat made by the pirates to refrain from raiding American merchant ships. Negotiations for a treaty failed. Thus, President [[Thomas Jefferson]] assembled an expeditionary force of Marines to respond. Lieutenant Presley O'Bannon led his Marines across 600 miles of the Libyan Desert and successfully stormed the fortified Tripolitan city of Derna. Notably recalled in the first verse of the Marines Hymn, "From the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli; we fight our country’s battles in the air, on land and sea,"<ref>{{cite web |title=The Marines Hymn |url=http://www.tricitymarines.com/hymn.htm }}</ref> the Battle of Derna was the Marines first battle on foreign soil and is a legendary expedition.

==== The Halls of Montezuma ====
The [[Mexican-American War]] played a critical role in defining the border between the two nations that remains in place today.

In 1847, the Marines strategically chose to capture [[Mexico|Mexico's]] "Palacio Nacional," knowing that a takeover would greatly disarm the Mexican army. Now known as the Battle of Chapultepec, the Marines stormed the enemy fortress during a 48-hour battle. After two days of continued fighting, the Marines gained control of the castle - better known as the "Halls of Montezuma." Victory at the Halls of Montezuma remains a part of Marine Corps [[tradition]], immortalized in the Marines Hymn.

==== Battle of Belleau Wood ====
During World War I, 1918, the Marine Corps fought relentlessly against German soldiers located deep in Belleau Wood, just outside of [[Paris]]. Four days into battle, Marines had suffered heavy casualties and were pinned down by machine-gun fire.
<blockquote>
'''"Come on, you sons of bitches! Do you want to live forever?"''' - GySgt. Daniel J. "Dan" Daly, USMC; near Lucy-`le-Bocage as he led the 5th Marines' attack into Belleau Wood, 6 June 1918.
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
'''"I have only two men out of my company and 20 out of some other company. We need support, but it is almost suicide to try to get it here as we are swept by machine gun fire and a constant barrage is on us. I have no one on my left and only a few on my right. I will hold."''' - 1stLt. Clifton B. Cates, USMC; in Belleau Wood, 19 July 1918.
</blockquote>
On 7 June 1918, with few grenades and no signal flares left, Marine forces launched an assault with fixed bayonets, seizing enemy positions. After 20 days of intense fighting, the Marines had won the Battle of Belleau Wood. Marine riflemen demonstrated their firing skills and resolve during the continuous oncoming of German troops. After the battle, the exhausted and wounded German survivors gave a fitting nickname to their relentless opponent: Teufelhunden (meaning, "Devil Dogs").<ref>{{cite web |title=The Relentless "Devil Dogs" |url=http://www.marines.com/main/index/winning_battles/history/missions/belleau_wood |publisher=marines.com }}</ref>

==== Battle of Iwo Jima ====
In 1945, the United States sent the Marines to capture the Japanese airfields at Iwo Jima. Fortified in a defensive maze of tunnels and steel bunkers, Japanese soldiers had turned the island into a trap.<ref>{{cite web |title=Battle of Iwo Jima |url=http://www.marines.com/main/index/winning_battles/history/missions/iwo_jima |publisher=marines.com }}</ref> The Battle of Iwo Jima lasted 36 days with heavy casualties before the Marines secured the island. Only four days into the battle, however, a team of Marines and one Navy Corpsman managed to reach the top of the summit and raised the [[Flag of the United States of America|American Flag]] to encourage troops below. A photo of the moment was taken, and since then the flag raising at Iwo Jima has become iconic with the Marine Corps showing their courage and determination.

==== Inchon Landing ====
In 1950, [[communist]] North Korea invaded South Korea. In return, in a surprise attack and amphibious assault, the Marines were sent in and landed behind enemy lines on the heavily defended shores of Inchon. Within hours, the Marines cleared the beach and began moving toward [[Seoul]]. In two weeks, they reclaimed the capital and put the North Korean army on the run.<ref>{{cite web |title=Inchon Landing |url=http://www.marines.com/main/index/winning_battles/history/missions/inchon_landing |publisher=marines.com }}</ref>

===Biden regime===
{{See also|Biden junta}}
[[File:Stuart Scheller.JPG|right|250px|thumb|Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller, the only officer relieved of command in the Afgan debacle because he criticized the Biden regime's lack of accountability for failure.]]
130 retired generals and admirals demanded the resignations of Joint Chiefs Chair [[Mark Milley]] and DoD Sec. [[Lloyd Austin]] “based on negligence in performing their duties primarily involving events surrounding the disastrous withdrawal from [[Afghanistan]]....The consequences of this disaster are enormous and will reverberate for decades beginning with the safety of Americans and Afghans who are unable to move safely to evacuation points; therefore, being de facto [[hostage]]s of the [[Taliban]] at this time. The death and [[torture]] of Afghans has already begun....The loss of billions of dollars in advanced military equipment and supplies falling into the hands of our enemies is catastrophic. The damage to the reputation of the United States is indescribable. We are now seen....as an unreliable partner in any multinational agreement or operation. Trust in the United States is irreparably damaged....our adversaries are emboldened to move against America...China benefits the most followed by Russia, Pakistan, Iran, North Korea and others. [[Terrorist]]s around the world are emboldened and able to [[Biden border crisis|pass freely into our country]] through our [[open border]] with Mexico....there are leadership, training, and morale reasons for resignations...it has become clear that top leaders in our military are placing mandatory emphasis on PC “[[woke]]ness” related training which is extremely divisive and harmful to unit cohesion, readiness, and war fighting capability."<ref>https://www.dailywire.com/news/130-retired-generals-admirals-demand-resignations-from-milley-austin-over-afghanistan-disaster</ref>

USMC Battalion Commander, Lt. Col. [[Stuart Scheller]], was relieved of command for criticizing Austin and Milley's decision to [[Bagram|close Bagram AFB in Afghanistan]] before evacuating American civilians and soldiers. Lt. Col Scheller made a public [[Facebook]] post criticizing the decisions that led to the deaths of 13 U.S. Marines and 170 other non-combatants. “Did any of you throw your rank on the table and say, ‘Hey, it’s a bad idea to evacuate Bagram Airfield, a strategic airbase, before we evacuate everyone’? Did anyone do that? And when you didn’t think to do that, did anyone raise their hand and say, ‘We completely messed this up’?”<ref>https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2021/08/27/marine-battalion-commander-lt-col-stuart-scheller-relieved-of-duty-for-criticizing-pentagon-decision-on-bagram-afb/</ref> Scheller stated,<ref>https://youtu.be/TOrjiUnsaiw</ref> “Because it appears to me that no general officers are willing to hold each other accountable, I am submitting charges against Gen. McKenzie for his bad assumptions – not because I’m vindictive, but because the senior leaders need to be held accountable to the same standard as us.” Scheller vowed to file the charges through his chain of command and directly to “the former Raytheon board director, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin.” He also said he would file a complaint with the Department of Defense Inspector General’s Office.<ref>https://taskandpurpose.com/pentagon-run-down/marine-corps-stuart-scheller-charge-general-afghanistan/</ref> For demanding accountability of the regime, Scheller was sent to the brig and was the only person disciplined following the Afghan debacle.<ref>https://thepoliticalinsider.com/marine-who-criticized-militarys-afghanistan-withdrawal-has-reportedly-been-jailed/</ref>

== Size ==
The U.S. Marine Corps, with 186,500 active duty and 40,000 reserve Marines as of 2007, is the smallest of the United States' armed forces in the Department of Defense (the [[United States Coast Guard]], about 1/5th the size of the Marine Corps, is under the [[Department of Homeland Security]]). The Corps is nonetheless larger than the entire armed forces of many significant military powers.{{fact}}

'''Addison Mitchell "Mitch" McConnell, Jr.''', born February 20, 1942 (age {{age|1942|2|20}}), is the senior [[Republican]] United States Senator from [[Kentucky]] and the current Senate [[Minority Leader]]. Although his voting record has been rated as [[conservative]] by some,<ref>[https://www.ontheissues.org/Senate/Mitch_McConnell.htm Mitch McConnell on the Issues]</ref> McConnell is an establishment [[RINO Backer]] who has blocked [[pro-life]] legislation ([[Mitch McConnell#Blocking_Graham-Cassidy_bill|see below]]), pushed for [[pro-abortion]] nominees to the courts, and who sometimes rams through [[liberal]]-favored deals to increase the [[debt ceiling]].<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2017/08/21/mitch-mcconnell-zero-chance-vote-freeze-debt-limit/ Mitch McConnell Vows to Raise U.S. Debt Ceiling]</ref> McConnell is an enemy of [[free speech]] by [[Donald Trump]] and more than 74 million of his supporters.

Fischer]]'' (D.C. Cir. Apr. 7, 2023).

In August 2023, McConnell was heckled at a farm fair in [[Kentucky]], his home state, and [[Trump]] tweeted on his social platform his agreement with the hecklers.<ref>https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/mcconnell-heckled-calls-retire-speech-kentucky-rcna98495</ref> In the [[2026 GOP Senate primaries]], McConnell is expected to retire rather than face defeat in his own primary by one of several popular [[conservative populism|conservative populist]] Kentucky politicians who could challenge him.

On November 16, 2022, a remarkable total of 10 [[Republican]] senators voted against reelecting McConnell as their leader, and he prevailed by a vote of only 37-10 when usually those votes are unanimous.<ref>https://www.ksl.com/article/50519296/mitch-mcconnell-reelected-senate-gop-leader-rick-scotts-bid-rejected</ref> This substantial number of senators who disapprove of McConnell indicates he has become merely a [[lame duck]]. The next day McConnell gushed in praise of [[Leftist]] [[Nancy Pelosi]] as she ended her reign of [[tyranny]] in the [[House]] that included publicly ripping up [[Trump]]'s state-of-the-union address one year, by McConnell praising “her historic tenure” and her “consequential and path-breaking career.”<ref>https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/3741221-mcconnell-congratulates-pelosi-on-historic-tenure-and-path-breaking-career/</ref>

A [[globalist]] clueless about the views of ordinary [[American]]s, McConnell rushed to congratulate [[Joe Biden]] on his stolen election result in December 2020. He also attempted to silence all Republican senators from objecting to the purported Biden victory, despite a 36-page report of pervasive [[election fraud]] that was "more than sufficient" to steal it from [[Trump]].<ref>https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/peter-navarro-releases-36-page-report-alleging-election-fraud-more-than-sufficient-to-swing-victory-to-trump/ar-BB1c0YR8</ref> McConnell falsely accused President Trump of inciting protesters to do harm, refused to attend Trump's ceremonial departure on January 20th, and encouraged a baseless, unconstitutional [[impeachment and removal]] trial of Trump. Playing both sides, McConnell voted to acquit Trump but then ranted against him. Perhaps paranoid and/or delusional, McConnell thought the inauguration of [[Biden]] might be disrupted by retired military leaders.<ref>https://www.politico.com/news/2022/12/24/mcconnell-team-raised-worries-about-attack-on-biden-inauguration-ex-nsa-obrien-told-jan-6-committee-00075581</ref>

McConnell's second wife is [[Elaine Chao]], married since 1993. Chao is from a wealthy [[Taiwan]] family that profits from international trade, and her sister Angela is the second wife of billionaire Jim Breyer, who invests heavily in [[Communist]] [[China]] and has been photographed smiling with its Chairman [[Xi Jinping]]. Chao served in Trump's [[Cabinet]] but stepped down a few weeks before the expiration of the term. Like her husband, the ungrateful Chao lambasted Trump at the end of her service.

In light of the impeachment coup against President Trump, McConnell called the House vote "unprecedented" and said that the Senate will "provide stability."<ref>[https://www.axios.com/trump-impeachment-mitch-mcconnell-senate-40bad0f8-9eeb-44ee-87bb-8b5e58814952.html McConnell on Trump impeachment: "The Senate exists for moments like this"]</ref> McConnell failed to call any witnesses at the impeachment trial, such as scandal-ridden [[Hunter Biden]] whose testimony could have ended [[Joe Biden]]'s presidential bid, and McConnell rushed through a vote of acquittal of Trump which proved to be merely a pyrrhic victory.

McConnell was arguably the least effective [[Majority Leader]] ever during the 115th U.S. Congress (2017-2019), accomplishing remarkably little in the two years of [[Republican]] control of both the [[White House]] and [[Congress]] under President [[Donald Trump]]. While credited with confirming some appellate judges, not all of whom are [[conservative]], McConnell has made less progress in confirming Trump's nominees to district court judgeships. He did, however, confirm [[Trump]]-appointed Justice [[Amy Coney Barrett]] in near-record time before the 2020 presidential election to fill the seat vacated by the death of [[Ruth Bader Ginsburg]].

In 2018 and again in 2020, McConnell worked overtime to try to keep his critic [[Roy Moore]] from being elected to the [[U.S. Senate]] from [[Alabama]], preferring instead that the deeply [[Republican]] state elect a [[Democrat]] or a pro-[[Deep State]] Republican.

==Early life==
McConnell was born in Tuscumbia, [[Alabama]], to Julia Shockley and Addison Mitchell McConnell, Sr., and reared in south [[Louisville]], Kentucky, he attended DuPont Manual High School and graduated from the [[University of Louisville]] College of Arts and Sciences with honors in 1964, where he was student body president and member of Phi Kappa Tau. He graduated in 1967 from the [[University of Kentucky]] College of Law, where he was elected president of the Student Bar Association. McConnell gained experience on Capitol Hill as an intern under [[RINO]] Senator [[John Sherman Cooper]], later as an assistant to Senator [[Marlow Cook]], and was a Deputy Assistant Attorney General under President [[Gerald R. Ford]].

==U.S. Senate==
McConnell was elected to the Senate in 1984 when he defeated two-term [[Democratic]] Senator [[Walter Huddleston]]. Since then he has been re-elected six times. After the 2006 elections, he was unanimously elected Senate Minority Leader, previously serving as Majority Whip. He is married to former Secretary of Labor [[Elaine Chao]], who is from a wealthy family profiting off foreign trade. McConnell has been very involved in Republican party politics. He was chairman of the [[National Republican Senatorial Committee]] during the 1998 and 2000 election cycles. In both, Republicans maintained control of the [[Senate]]. McConnell is viewed as a [[conservative]] on nearly all issues, receiving an 89% lifetime rating from the [[American Conservative Union]].<ref>http://www.acuratings.org/2008all.htm#KY</ref> However, he was one of just three Senate Republicans who voted against a Constitutional ban on [[Flag Desecration Amendment|flag desecration]].<ref>https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=109&session=2&vote=00189</ref>

====Oil drilling====
McConnell offered offshore [[oil]] drilling resolutions on the Senate floor in July 2008. He was intent on setting a trigger to initiate drilling if the price exceeds a certain mark. First, he offered to drill if gasoline prices hit $4.50 a gallon. This was rejected by Democrats. Then he offered a trigger at $5.50 a gallon, $7.50 a gallon and $10 per gallon, with Democrats rejecting each offer.<ref>[http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=27826 Breaking: Dems like $10 per Gallon Gasoline] Human Events, July 31, 2008</ref>

===Obama era===
Mitch McConnell managed to hold onto his Senate seat in the 2008 elections, which saw a Democratic surge, just short of a supermajority. Mitch McConnell was widely regarded within the Republican Party as an adept Minority Leader. The filibuster strategy used by the Democrats was first pushed by McConnell.

====Gun control filibuster====
McConnell said he would join the [[gun control]] filibuster against Democrat anti-[[second amendment]] bills.<ref>https://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2013/04/09/mitch-mcconnell-yeah-im-joining-this-gun-control-filibuster-n1562143</ref>

====2014 Senate election====
In 2014, McConnell faced [[Tea Party]] challenger [[Matt Bevin]] in his primary for re-election, and held on only by heavily outspending his [[conservative]] rival. McConnell then defeated Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes in the heavily Republican Kentucky in the general election.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/elections/2014/kentucky-elections Kentucky Election Results]</ref>

McConnell became the [[Senate Majority Leader]] in 2015 after the GOP retook the Senate. Since being elected, McConnell and others in the Republican establishment have not sought to keep their promises.

===Trump era===
====Blocking Graham-Cassidy bill====
The Graham-Cassidy healthcare bill, a measure to repeal [[ObamaCare]] that was [[pro-life]] enough to elicit [[liberal media]] opposition,<ref>Two references:
*[https://www.bustle.com/p/would-graham-cassidy-defund-planned-parenthood-it-decimates-womens-health-care-access-2419003 Would Graham-Cassidy Defund Planned Parenthood? It Decimates Women's Health Care Access]

*[https://townhall.com/tipsheet/christinerousselle/2017/09/26/grahamcassidy-is-dead-n2386858 The Graham-Cassidy Bill is Dead; Senate Will Not Vote]</ref>

====2018 Omnibus====
In 2018, McConnell has worked overtime in making sure to garner enough support within his party line to pass a fiscally reckless $1.3 trillion omnibus spending bill.<ref>[https://www.politico.com/story/2018/03/22/rand-paul-senate-omnibus-480553 McConnell secures budget deal with ‘begging, pleading and cajoling’]</ref> While the legislation would raise wages for armed forces members and allocate money to help fight the [[opioid]] crisis, negotiation with [[open border]]-supporting [[Democrats]] on the bill only provided 641 million dollars for the [[border wall]] rather than $25 billion that [[Donald Trump]] had sought to fund border security.<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2018/03/21/paul-ryan-and-mitch-mcconnell-work-to-sell-omnibus-spending-to-donald-trump-at-the-white-house/ Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell Work to Sell Omnibus Spending to Donald Trump at the White House]</ref>

====Amy Coney Barrett====
After successfully helping to confirm [[Amy Coney Barrett]] to the [[United States Supreme Court]] to fill the vacancy left upon the death of [[Ruth Bader Ginsburg]], McConnell joked: "It was a wonderful birthday present for Hillary Clinton to confirm Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court Monday night on her birthday. Oh, I’m sure she was so grateful."<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/10/cocaine-mitch-wonderful-birthday-present-hillary-clinton-confirm-amy-coney-barrett-supreme-court-monday-video/ Cocaine Mitch: “It Was a Wonderful Birthday Present For Hillary Clinton to Confirm Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court on Monday” (VIDEO)]</ref>

==Broken promises==
McConnell, like many Republicans, has promised that if a Senate majority could be reached, they would work toward passing an actual budget instead of stop-gap spending measures.<ref>[https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/206309-gop-well-pass-budget-every-year- Senate GOP: We’ll pass a budget every year]</ref>

While McConnell had promised to make the Senate less dysfunctional, it had only gotten worse by 2018.<ref>Wallner, James (March 29, 2018). [https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/mitch-mcconnell-promised-to-fix-the-broken-senate-instead-its-only-gotten-worse Mitch McConnell promised to fix the broken Senate. Instead, it's only gotten worse.] ''Washington Examiner''. Retrieved March 29, 2018.</ref>

==Controversies==
In 2013, it was reported that McConnell said that he wanted to "punch [[Tea Party]] bullies in the nose".<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2013/11/22/exclusive-mcconnell-tea-party-a-bunch-of-bullies-who-me-and-karl-rove-are-going-to-punch-in-the-nose/ Exclusive - McConnell: Tea Party 'Bullies' Who Need Punch in Nose], [[Breitbart.com]]</ref> A further examination by [[The Blaze]] indicated the plausibility that McConnell was probably talking about the [[Senate Conservatives Fund]], which is known for supporting more conservative candidates over [[Establishment]]-preferred candidates.<ref>[https://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/11/22/rumor-check-did-mitch-mcconnell-say-he-wants-to-punch-tea-party-bullies-in-the-nose/ Rumor Check: Did Mitch McConnell Say He Wants to Punch Tea Party ‘Bullies’ in the Nose?] '''(Note: link is broken)</ref>

It was leaked in mid-April 2020 that McConnell secretly had a strong disdain for [[Donald Trump]] behind the his back despite a public appearance of cooperation and concurrence.<ref>Two references:

==Personal life==
McConnell is married to [[Elaine Chao]], the current [[United States Secretary of Transportation]]. He is a [[Southern Baptist]] but was married to Sherrill Redmon from 1968 to 1980 before divorcing.<ref>[https://www.cnn.com/2014/11/13/us/mitch-mcconnell-fast-facts/ Mitch McConnell Fast Facts]</ref>

===Declining health===
McConnell, now 81, has exhibited signs of cognitive decline, especially throughout 2023. This was first marked in early March 2023, when he had tripped and fell during a D.C. dinner event, resulting in him being hospitalized for five days followed by a month and a half absence from the Senate.<ref>[https://www.npr.org/2023/03/13/1163232163/ Sen. Mitch McConnell's health issues spotlight Kentucky's succession process]</ref>

On July 26, 2023, McConnell froze up mid-speech in Capitol Hill, unable to finish his statement, during a press conference and was promptly escorted away from the podium by his aides.<ref>[https://www.theblaze.com/news/mitch-mcconnell-freezes-during-briefing Mitch McConnell freezes mid-sentence during press conference and is escorted away from podium]</ref>

Once more on August 30, 2023, only one month later, McConnell froze up for more than 30 seconds upon being asked if he would run for re-election in 2026 before he was led away by aides in Covington, Kentucky.<ref>[https://www.theblaze.com/news/mitch-mcconnell-second-freeze-up Alarming video shows Mitch McConnell, 81, freeze up a second time while speaking to reporters]</ref> In both incidents, McConnell claimed he felt "lightheaded".

==Liberal opposition==
:''See also: [[Moscow Mitch syndrome]] and [[Left-wing violence in the Trump era]]''
McConnell has been subject to multiple liberal smears and attacks after the 2016 election. In one case, he was confronted by an unhinged liberal while dining with his wife.<ref>[https://www.westernjournal.com/watch-mitch-mcconnell-attacked-dining-wife/ Watch: Mitch McConnell Attacked While Dining with His Wife]</ref> In another instance, protestors outside his home called for violence against the senator.<ref>[https://townhall.com/tipsheet/timothymeads/2019/08/06/protester-outside-mitch-mcconnells-home-says-stab-the-motherfcker-in-the-heart-n2551245 Protester Outside Mitch McConnell's Home Says 'Stab The Motherf*cker In The Heart']</ref> After blocking two partisan "election security" bills, he has been labeled as "Moscow Mitch" by communist-supporting [[Liberal hypocrisy|liberal hypocrites]].<ref>[https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/455570-kentucky-democrats-sell-moscow-mitch-gear-after-mcconnell Kentucky Democrats sell 'Moscow Mitch' gear after McConnell blocks election security bills]</ref>

Covenant School shooting

[[File:Trans activists have since posted footage and photos.jpg|right|300px|thumb|]]
The '''Covenant School shooting''' occurred on March 28, 2023 in [[Nashville, Tennessee]]. A [[transgender]] woman, [[Audrey Hale]], a woman wishing to be a male, entered the Presbyterian Covenant School which she had attended, and murdered three children and three adults. The massacre occurred during the week of the Trans Day of Vengeance.<ref>[https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11915513/Controversial-group-Trans-Day-Vengeance-raised-money-firearms-training.html Controversial group behind 'Trans Day of Vengeance' raised money for firearms training], By EMMA JAMES FOR DAILYMAIL.COM , 29 March 2023.</ref>

==Aftermath==
===White House response===
In the immediate aftermath, socialist premier [[Joe Biden]] addressed the American people from the [[White House]] to joke about the killings.<ref>[https://youtu.be/3YziKqS72YY Sky News Australia host slams Joe Biden's response after horrific school shooting], Sky News Australia, Mar 27, 2023.</ref> [[Biden regime]] chief [[propagandist]] [[Karine Jean-Pierre]] declared from the White House press briefing room after the trans killer was shot dead by police, "Our hearts go out to the trans community, as they are under attack right now."<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/03/our-hearts-go-out-to-the-trans-community-as-they-are-under-attack-right-now-karine-jean-pierre-after-transgender-terrorist-murders-christians-video/ "Our Hearts Go Out to the Trans Community as They Are Under Attack Right Now” – Karine Jean-Pierre After Transgender Terrorist Murders Christians], By Cristina Laila, ''[[Gatewaypundit]]'', Mar. 30, 2023.</ref>

===Public response===
In the days following the school shooting, left-wing protestors stormed the [[Tennessee State Capitol]] with some citing the shooter as a victim, holding up 7 fingers to commemmorate the shooter herself along with the children and staff she had murdered. Rallying cries of the protestors included "our blood, your hands!".<ref>{{Cite web|title=Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸 on Twitter: "When the protesters decided to hold a moment of silence, there was a disagreement over how many victims the Nashville shooting had.

By Memorial Day Weekend 2021, Biden continued stoking racial hatred between Americans, traveling to [[Tulsa, Oklahoma]] to commemorate a race riot that took place in 1921. One speaker at the ceremonies said,
{{quotebox-float|“Black people will kill everything white in sight,” because of “all what you’ve done to us, all of what you’re done in the 6,000 year span and killing 600 million of us and 408 years in particular.

In face of 2022 eliminating Palestinian Islamic-jihadi ([[PIJ]]) terrorists<ref>[https://www.fdd.org/in_the_news/2022/08/05/israel-targets-pij-commander-in-gaza/ Israel Targets Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) Commander in Gaza], ''FDD'', Aug 5, 2022.<blockquote>
Latest Developments:
An Israeli strike has killed Taysir al-Jabari, the Gaza commander of Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), which the U.S. Department of State designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) in 1997. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said Jabari “was responsible for multiple terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians.”
PIJ had threatened to attack Israeli targets after the arrest earlier this week of senior PIJ figure Bassam al-Saadi. Israel’s internal security service, Shabak, said Saadi was the PIJ leader in the West Bank and was behind the “building of a significant military force.” Shabak added that Saadi “was a significant factor in the radicalization of the organization’s operatives in the field.”

PIJ Profile:
Founded in 1981, PIJ is the second-largest militant group in Gaza after Hamas. In the 1990s and again during the Second Intifada from 2000 to 2005, PIJ targeted Israeli civilians with suicide bombings, including the Netanya mall bombing in December 2005, which killed five Israelis and wounded fifty.

Dependent on Iran:
PIJ is the Palestinian militant group closest to Iran, on which it depends for financial and military support. Thanks to Iran, PIJ in Gaza has acquired military-grade weapons that range from small arms to man-portable air-defense systems (MANPADS), rockets, anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs), and explosive-laden unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). PIJ fighters have also trained inside Iran.

Remotely Led:
PIJ has a local leadership structure in Gaza, although its senior leaders reside in Syria, Lebanon, and other countries in the region. Unlike Hamas, PIJ does not compete in elections, employ civilian front organizations, or govern any part of Gaza. When weighing the risks of attacking Israel, it therefore has less need to consider the impact of a potential military response. Ziyad al-Nakhlaheh, Khaled al-Batsh, Hader Adnan, and Muhammed al-Hindi are among PIJ’s most visible leaders and spokesmen.

Independent from Hamas:
Despite PIJ’s cooperation with Hamas, which also has close ties to Iran, PIJ has launched attacks on Israel at times when Hamas would have preferred not to escalate. These attacks seek to demonstrate that PIJ is the most militant organization in Gaza and can act independently.

History of Clashes with IDF:
In November 2019, an IDF strike killed Jabari’s predecessor, Bahaa Abu al-Atta, resulting in several days of clashes between PIJ and the IDF. In February 2020, the IDF conducted strikes against PIJ militant infrastructure in both the Gaza Strip and Syria.
There has been a sharp increase in PIJ casualties over the last year and half, with numerous militants killed during engagements with Israeli personnel during counter-terrorism operations. Coupled with the establishment of PIJ fighting units, or “katibat,” in several West Bank cities, the increase in violence suggests an organized PIJ effort to expand its military capabilities in the West Bank.

Expert Analysis from FDD’s Joe Truzman: “Israel likely felt an attack by Palestinian Islamic Jihad was imminent and reacted first. The history of conflict with the PIJ suggests a high likelihood of an armed response in the coming days by PIJ and the other militant groups that belong to Palestinian Joint Operations Room, including Hamas.”</blockquote></ref> and Jihadists failed launched rockets,<ref>Mariella Marsden, [https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-714165 Islamic Jihad rockets killed more civilians in Gaza than IDF airstrikes], ''JPost'', Aug 8, 2022.

Operation Breaking Dawn lasted for 66 hours in which the IDF struck 170 targets, killing several high-ranking Islamic Jihad operatives and destroying much of the terrorist organization’s military capabilities, terrorist attack tunnels and weapon storage facilities. For its final action on Sunday night, the IDF destroyed three warehouses storing a variety of weapons.

The president has two faces. Here's one paragraph:

''My support for Israel’s security is long-standing and unwavering—including its right to defend itself against attacks. Over these recent days, Israel has defended its people from indiscriminate rocket attacks launched by the terrorist group Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and the United States is proud of our support for Israel’s Iron-Dome, which intercepted hundreds of rockets and saved countless lives. I commend Prime Minister Yair Lapid and his government’s steady leadership throughout the crisis.''

Here's the next one:

''The reports of civilian casualties in Gaza are a tragedy, whether by Israeli strikes against Islamic Jihad positions or the dozens of Islamic Jihad rockets that reportedly fell inside Gaza. My Administration supports a timely and thorough investigation into all of these reports, and we also call on all parties to fully implement the ceasefire, and to ensure fuel and humanitarian supplies are flowing into Gaza as the fighting subsides.''</blockquote></ref>

Doocy pointed to Psaki’s claim, made a short time earlier in Thursday’s White House press briefing, that economists were predicting that inflation would begin to resolve by the end of the year — and he noted that the Biden administration had been claiming that inflation would be “transitory” or “temporary” since spring of 2021, only to reach record levels at the end of the year.</blockquote></ref>

The Biden administration has just added to this shameful spectacle by retroactively reducing the plea-bargained sentence in one of the most high-profile of those crimes, in which two white-shoe lawyers in Brooklyn threw a Molotov cocktail into a police car.

Colinford Mattis and Urooj Rahman were well-compensated attorneys in their early thirties when they joined the protesting mob in May 2020. Rahman was caught on tape throwing the firebomb into an unoccupied police car, and Mattis was arrested with more such improvised explosives in his car and was videotaped trying to hand them out to others. These are gravely serious crimes, more so than those committed by all but a tiny handful (at most) of the people charged in connection with January 6. An unapologetic Rahman told reporters later, “The only way they hear us is through violence.”</blockquote></ref>
Reducing their decades sentence to just less than two years.<ref>[https://freebeacon.com/biden-administration/how-the-left-learned-to-stop-worrying-and-love-domestic-terrorism/ How the Left Learned To Stop Worrying and Love Domestic Terrorism], ''Washington Free Beacon'', June 7, 2022.<blockquote>
On the cusp of nonstop, around-the-clock (primetime!) coverage of the Jan. 6 committee hearings, a couple of domestic terrorists are actually getting their day in court, and it is informative to see how Merrick Garland’s Justice Department is handling their prosecution.
Recall Garland’s breathless declaration, during his confirmation hearings, that “150 years after the Department’s founding, battling extremist attacks on our democratic institutions also remains central to its mission.”
Colinford Mattis and Urooj Rahman were arrested in the “mostly peaceful” protests following George Floyd’s murder. The two lawyers handed out Molotov cocktails to the crowd, and Rahman tossed one into a police car before fleeing the scene in Mattis’s van. They reached a plea deal with federal prosecutors in October 2020 that wiped out six of the seven charges against them. Those prosecutors, nonetheless, sought a maximum 10-year sentence and argued that the incident qualified for a so-called terrorism enhancement that would turbocharge sentencing—a determination with which the U.S. Probation Office concurred.
Ginning herself up to distribute explosives to the crowd, Rahman gave a video interview in which she declared, “This shit won’t ever stop until we fuckin’ take it all down,” adding that “the only way [the police] hear us is through violence.”
Then, Garland and the U.S. attorney for New York’s Eastern District, Breon Peace, who’s handling the prosecution, took office, and you won’t believe what happened next!
In mid-May, the same career DOJ prosecutors who argued for that 10-year sentence were back in court withdrawing their plea deal and entering a new one that allowed the defendants to cop to the lesser charge of conspiracy. It tosses out the terrorism enhancement entirely.
The new charge carries a five-year maximum sentence, but the prosecutors are urging the judge to go below that, asking for just 18 to 24 months on account of the “history and personal characteristics of the defendants” and the “aberrational nature of the defendants’ conduct.”…</blockquote></ref>

“There’s total chaos: People can’t travel to Namibia, Zimbabwe [or] Mozambique, yet they have zero cases. So I don’t believe I was the one being disrespectful.

Parents Defending Education, an advocacy organization, obtained emails through the [[Freedom of Information Act]] showing that National School Board Association (NSBA) and officials were in contact with [[White House]] staffers before the NSBA sent a letter to [[Biden]] requesting that federal [[law enforcement]] officials address unruly behavior, including threats, directed toward public education officials. One email explains that White House staffers “requested additional information on some of the specific threats.”<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2021/10/21/nsba-biden-white-house-letter-domestic-terrorists/</ref> Garland told the House Judiciary Committee under oath that the NSBA’s letter was the pretext for his instructions to [[Department of Justice-National Security Division]], US Attorney's, and [[FBI]] five days later.

The NSBA retracted its letter two weeks later, however Garland refused to retract his instructions to federal prosecutors and investigators.

=====Loudoun County transgender rape case=====

[[Scott Smith]], a parent, was at a [[Loudoun County, Virginia]] school board meeting on June 22, 2021 because his daughter had been [[rape]]d by a [[transgender]] boy in the girls’ bathroom on May 28, 2021 at Stone Bridge High School.<ref>https://www.foxnews.com/politics/loudoun-county-father-school-cover-up-bathroom-assault-daughter</ref> The school told Smith his daughter had been assaulted but didn't call police. Smith reported the assault to the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office (LCSO) and rape kit evidence collected. Prior to the June 22 meeting, When Smith showed up at the school to complain about what had happened, they accused him of lying and called the police.<ref>https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2021/10/12/loudoun-county-virginia-school-board-covered-up-student-rape-and-had-father-of-victim-arrested-to-keep-him-quiet-national-school-board-association-then-labeled-the-father-a-domestic-terrorist</ref>
[[File:Loudon-County-1.jpg|left|300px|thumb|Parent arrested at Loudoun County, Virginia school board meeting after his daughter was raped in a [[public school]] transgender bathroom.]]
Moments before Smith’s arrest Superintendent Scott Ziegler of the county’s schools “said the school hadn’t had any incidents involving a transgender student in bathrooms and declared that ‘the predator transgender student or person simply does not exist.'” <ref>https://nypost.com/2021/10/13/parents-demand-superintendent-be-fired-for-alleged-sex-assault-cover-up/</ref> An [[Antifa]] activist at the meeting claimed his daughter was lying. When an argument ensued, police grabbed his arm. When he pulled his arm away, he was assaulted and thrown to the ground, handcuffed, and removed from the room.<ref>https://uncoverdc.com/2021/10/14/family-of-young-rape-victim-files-lawsuit-against-loudoun-county-schools/</ref> A damning email proved the board had been informed of the rape on the day the rape occurred.<ref>https://www.dailywire.com/news/loudoun-school-board-was-informed-of-alleged-sexual-assault-the-day-it-happened-report</ref>

And while the [[far-left]] prosecutor’s office, which would eventually try to throw the book at Smith over his arrest at the school board meeting, insisted they were taking the rape case seriously, the same boy was transferred to another school in the district. On October 6, 2021, the same boy was alleged to have committed another rape. A sheriff's office press release stated, "A teenager from Ashburn has been charged with sexual battery and abduction of a fellow student at Broad Run High School."<ref>https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10083783/Loudoun-County-father-arrested-school-meeting-says-daughter-raped-boy-girls-bathroom.html</ref>

The National School Board Association (NSBA) sent a letter to Joe Biden complaining about parents speaking out at school board meetings. The letter specifically cited the June 22, 2021 Loudoun County, Virginia incident as an example.<ref>https://nsba.org/-/media/NSBA/File/nsba-letter-to-president-biden-concerning-threats-to-public-schools-and-school-board-members-92921.pdf</ref> The NSBA letter states that parents’ protests and speeches at school board meetings “could be equivalent to a form of domestic terrorism.” Biden handed the letter to Garland. Garland issued a memo directing the FBI and numerous other federal and state agencies to take “measures designed to address the rise in criminal conduct directed toward school personnel,” a clear example of the politicization of the [[Department of Justice]]. A liberal advocacy group sent the Office of the President a letter; Merrick Garland dutifully turned that letter into DOJ policy.

Smith’s case was used in [[Merrick Garland]]'s October 2021 memo warning of “domestic terrorism” at school board meetings.<ref>https://redstate.com/bonchie/2021/10/11/horror-in-loudoun-county-implicates-local-and-federal-officials-n455371</ref> The memo's intent is to intimidate parents to not speak out at school board meetings against [[critical race theory]].

The Biden regime prepared to initiate hostile actions against the American electorate to protect the fraudulent results of the 2020 election. The U.S. Department of Justice was activated along with the Federal Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Intelligence Community and elements of the U.S. Department of Defense. In addition, the Democrat National Committee,<ref>https://www.politico.com/news/2021/07/12/biden-covid-vaccination-campaign-499278</ref> the [[Lawfare group|Lawfare alliance]], activist groups, the U.S. media and Big Tech social media platform control agents were enlisted. Big Tech oligarchs, aligned with the interests of the Chinese Communist Party, also provided hundreds-of-millions in defense of their own interests which are tied directly to the Biden junta. D.C. politicians under the control of [[multinational corporation]]s were instructed to push the “domestic extremist” narrative. Any organized and articulate sources outside the mainstream fake news media the regime considers subversive. Approximately 100 million American voters are considered dissidents.

Evidence of election fraud was labeled “domestic extremism”,<ref>https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/17/politics/domestic-violent-extremism-threat-assessment/index.html</ref> and any entity that aligned with the objective to review or audit any election outcome was targeted as an enemy of the installed regime. <ref>https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2021/07/14/house-democrats-launch-investigation-into-maricopa-county-audit/</ref>

Don’t ask questions, just give them their citizenship.

The majority of them were not interpreters, had no visas, and no basis for entering the country. Despite that, they were rapidly brought here with virtually no vetting, dropped off at military bases, and then put through the resettlement process across the United States.
There’s no one problem.
At last count around 36,000 Afghans or 40% of the “refugees” had no legal basis for being evacuated even after the Biden administration and its congressional allies, both Democrat and Republican, watered down standards for applying for SIV visas so much so that virtually any Afghan employed in any capacity by any contractors, charities, or even the media qualified.
The vast majority of Afghans in the evacuation were not visa recipients, but the evacuees got past Taliban checkpoints even while Americans and visa holders were being turned back.
Many of them have no paperwork and no legitimate basis for even claiming political asylum.</ref>

[[File:Clinton-Tweet-300x406.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Hillary Clinton and Biden [[National Security Advisor]] Jake Sullivan peddled deliberately false national security information.]]
Under the junta, the most important national security issue is the protection of transgenderism in the [[military]]. This was affirmed in presidential Executive Order No.14004 signed five days after the seizure of power. The White House’s 2021 “Interim National Security Strategic Guidance,” instead of offering guidance on Russian, Iranian and Chinese aggression, the document was laden with PC nonsense. In its 24 pages, the ‘Guidance’ mentions climate change more than a dozen times, as well as racial justice and LGBTQI+ rights.<ref>https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/mar/30/bidens-woke-military/</ref>

On January 29, 2021, four days after Biden’s transgender executive order, defense minister [[Lloyd Austin]] followed with a military-wide order that all restrictions on transgenderism would be lifted pending a review of the issue which radical leftists consider crucial to America’s national security.<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2021/02/15/barr-the-strange-priorities-of-bidens-department-of-defense/</ref> Biden signed an Executive Order on January 25, 2021 mandating taxpayers to pay for gender reassignment surgery for active military personnel and veterans, with some treatments costing upward of $200,000.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/military-transgender-surgery-free</ref>

The Biden budget increased defense spending only 1.6%. Adjusted for inflation, it’s a cut.<ref>https://www.thefiscaltimes.com/2021/05/28/Bidens-First-Budget-Numbers-You-Need-Know</ref> Meantime CCP state media called for increases in the PRC nuclear weapons.<ref>https://thepoliticalinsider.com/china-state-media-warns-of-intense-showdown-with-america-advocates-more-nuclear-weapons/</ref> Pentagon analysts project the CCP military to match and overtake the U.S. military in strength in 5 to 10 years. Pentagon spending was rotated out for other domestic vote-buying schemes, such as the Green New Deal disguised as infrastructure, and supposed slave reparations including people of mixed race and immigrants who not need to prove they are descendants of American slaves (ADOS).

Under Lloyd Austin, the Pentagon canceled a $10-billion ‘JEDI’ cloud-computing contract with [[Microsoft]] in July 2021 and handed it back to tech giant [[Amazon]], which had sued after [[President Trump]] took it away from Amazon in 2019.<ref>https://www.zerohedge.com/political/pentagon-cancels-10-billion-jedi-cloud-deal-awarded-microsoft</ref> Weeks earlier, [[Speaker Nancy Pelosi]]'s husband, who handles the families finances, bought $1 million in Amazon call options.<ref>https://www.zerohedge.com/political/pelosis-husband-bought-amazon-stock-pentagon-jedi-shakeup-sent-shares-soaring</ref>

====The Great Purge====

Another of Austin's first actions was to order a 60 day nationwide stand down across all service branches to root out Trump voters, euphemistically referred to as "extremists".<ref>https://greenwald.substack.com/p/the-new-domestic-war-on-terror-is</ref> The junta attempted to identify military personnel who exercised their [[First Amendment]] right to peacefully assemble on January 6, 2020. In a Pentagon briefing with reporters, Ramón "CZ" Colón-López, the senior enlisted adviser to the chairman of the [[Joint Chiefs of Staff]], said that some troops have asked, when the January 6, 2021 riot is brought up, "How come you're not looking at the situation that was going on in [[Seattle]] prior to that?" "This is coming from every echelon that we're talking to," he added.<ref>https://www.military.com/daily-news/2021/03/19/some-troops-see-capitol-riot-blm-protests-similar-threats-top-enlisted-leader-says.html</ref>

{{quotebox-float|The question for the American people is, ''Are we willing to go to war with Russia on behalf of Ukraine?'' We need to understand that such a war would come at a cost beyond anything that we can really imagine. This is something that will directly impact every single one of your viewers and all of our loved ones. This is a war that is not a game. It's a war in which there are no winners. Russia has thousands of nuclear weapons aimed towards us that could hit any town or city in America in less than 30 minutes and exact a cost upon every one of us that would result in excruciating death and suffering beyond comprehension. Hundreds of millions of people dying and suffering, seeing their flesh being burned from their bones. This is something you know you can't really even imagine. And it's a cost that we will all pay.

Why in the world would we ever contemplate going to war with Russia? Honestly, it is one that we should not do for those very reasons. If you look at the impacts of what a [[nuclear war]] brings it, really brings about the end of the world as we know it. And our leaders should understand this consequence and take it seriously. And this is why President Biden, instead of continuing to escalate tensions and continuing this new Cold War between the United States and Russia, he needs to de-escalate these tensions and actually focus on bringing an end to this new Cold War because if he doesn't, then it's not a question of if we go to war with Russia if this war ends up with a nuclear holocaust, it really is then just a question of when. And if we continue down this path that we are on it's something that could happen a lot sooner than any of us think.}}

Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova reported that ten thousand NATO soldiers, including four thousand Americans, were already stationed and active in Ukraine. Drones and Stingers have been provided and used in eastern Ukraine.<ref>https://tass.com/world/1376191</ref> In light of all the threatening activity on its border, on December 17, 2021 President Putin presented two treaties to be signed, one with the US<ref>https://mid.ru/ru/foreign_policy/rso/nato/1790818/?lang=en</ref> the other with NATO,<ref>https://mid.ru/ru/foreign_policy/rso/nato/1790803/?lang=en&clear_cache=Y</ref> the essence of which is that [[the West]] pledges not to threaten Russia's borders by offering membership to Ukraine or by arming and basing missiles in Ukraine. Putin stated, "You are on our doorstep. We cannot back down." Putin promised a response if the NATO powers do not stop their offensive actions. NATO General Secretary [[Jens Stoltenberg]] rejected them out of hand. Russia's deputy foreign minister Alexander Grushko said on December 18, 2021 that NATO has been living in a fantasy world and that Europeans must think about whether they mean to turn their continent into a field of military confrontation.

Former U.S. ambassador to Russia Jack Matlock wrote in ''Krasno Analysis'' on December 14, 2021 that interference by the U.S. and its NATO allies in Ukraine's civil struggle has exacerbated the crisis within NATO and raised the specter a possible conflict between the nuclear powers. Russia is extremely sensitive about foreign military activity adjacent to its borders, as any other country would be, and as the United States has always been. Russia has signaled repeatedly that it will stop at nothing to prevent NATO membership for Ukraine. Ukraine's friends in Europe and America should help them understand, rather than Ukraine is pursuing what could easily turn out to be a suicidal course. He concluded, "back in October 1962 it was the U.S. southern border that was being approached closely by [[Soviet]] soldiers and missiles in [[Cuba]] which threatened the devastating first strike. Today it is the relentless march of NATO, closer and closer to Russia's borders. 60 years ago [[President John F. Kennedy]] said. "within the past week unmistakable evidence has established the fact that a series of offensive missile sites is now in preparation on that imprisoned island," and he said that "this is in an area well known to have a special and historical relationship to the U.S. and is a deliberately provocative and unjustified change in the status quo which cannot be accepted by this country." President Kennedy demanded that the Soviet Union remove and never again try to place nuclear-capable missiles and aircraft virtually on the U.S. border and in an area with a special and historical relationship to the U.S.<ref>https://ccisf.org/ambassador-jack-matlock-ukraine-tragedy-of-a-nation-divided/</ref>

President Putin's agreement proposed to Biden on December 7, 2021 was that the United States ensure that Ukraine would not join NATO and thereby have U.S. and NATO forces and missiles of various types placed right on Russia's border and in an area with a special and historical relationship to Russia.

{{quotebox-float|"Since the day that Donald Trump became president, Democrats in Washington have told you it's your patriotic duty to hate Vladimir Putin. It's not a suggestion. It's a mandate. Anything less than hatred for Putin is treason.

Many Americans have obeyed this directive. They now dutifully hate Vladimir Putin. Maybe you're one of them. Hating Putin has become the central purpose of America's [[foreign policy]]. It's the main thing that we talk about. Entire cable channels are now devoted to it. Very soon, that hatred of Vladimir Putin could bring the United States into a conflict in [[Eastern Europe]].

Before that happens, it might be worth asking yourself, since it is getting pretty serious: What is this really about? Why do I hate Putin so much? Has Putin ever called me a [[racist]]? Has he threatened to get me fired for disagreeing with him? Has he shipped every [[middle-class]] job in my town to Russia? Did he manufacture a [[CCP pandemic|worldwide pandemic]] that wrecked my business and kept me indoors for two years? Is he teaching my children to embrace [[Critical race theory|racial discrimination]]? Is he making [[fentanyl]]? Is he trying to snuff out [[Christianity]]? Does he [[Atheists and dog meat eating|eat dogs]]?

These are fair questions, and the answer to all of them is no. Vladimir Putin didn't do any of that. So why does permanent Washington hate him so much?

If you've been watching the news, you know that Putin is having a border dispute with a nation called Ukraine. Now, the main thing to know about Ukraine for our purposes is that its leaders once sent millions of dollars to [[Biden family corruption|Joe Biden's family]]. Not surprisingly, Ukraine is now one of Biden's favorite countries. Biden has pledged to defend Ukraine's borders even as he [[Biden border crisis|opens our borders]] to the world. That's how it works. Invading America is called [[equity]]. Invading Ukraine is a war crime.

So with every day, we move closer to some kind of conflict with Russia, a conflict that could easily spin out of control given that the people running us have no fine motor skills, the administration assures us this has nothing at all to do with ripping Joe Biden's personal debts to Ukrainian [[oligarch]]s. Not at all. It's completely and totally unrelated.

The point here is to defend democracy, not that Ukraine is a [[democracy]]. It is not a democracy. Ukraine's president has arrested his main political opponent. He has shut down newspapers and television stations that have dared to criticize him. So in American terms, you would call Ukraine a [[tyranny]]. But Joe Biden likes Ukraine. So Putin bad, [[war]] good. How will this conflict affect you?

Will affect you quite a bit, actually. Energy prices in the United States are about to go way up, and that means that everything you buy will become much more expensive, from the food you eat to the car you drive to the tickets you need to take your family on vacation this summer, assuming you can still afford a vacation by then. You're about to become measurably poorer. That's not a guess. Joe Biden has admitted this.

On the other hand, you're going to win an important moral victory against dastardly old Vladimir Putin, who is much, much worse than [[Justin Trudeau]]. Just so you know. So you can feel good about that because…because…let's see, come to think of it, why would you feel good about that? It seems like a pretty terrible deal for you and for the United States. [[Hunter Biden]] gets a million dollars a year from Ukraine, but you can no longer afford to go out to dinner. That's not a bargain.

So what are we missing here? What we're missing is the big picture, and that's why Joe Biden has dispatched [[Kamala Harris]] to explain that picture to us. Kamala Harris’ old job was to open America's border. She did that. Her new job is to keep Ukraine's borders closed.<ref>https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/tucker-carlson-hate-putin-americans-suffer</ref>}}

A few seconds later, he began picking his teeth with his thumbnail, and then grins a bit vacantly before the video mercifully runs out. Amid all the wrong choices, erroneous policies, abject failures, and stupid missteps of this disastrous administration, it was a trivial moment, but it was a telling one.</blockquote></ref> On April 14, 2022, a ''[[Bloomberg News]]'' op-ed stated:
{{quotebox-float|"Joe Biden never planned for a war like this. The assumption was that Russia would quickly conquer much of the country, so the U.S. would be supporting a simmering, low-intensity Ukrainian insurgency. Instead, Ukraine’s successful resistance has led to an ongoing, high-intensity conventional fight, with prodigious consumption of munitions and intense attrition of key military assets. Pentagon officials say that Kyiv is blowing through a week’s worth of deliveries of antitank munitions every day. It is also running short of usable aircraft as Russian airstrikes and combat losses take their toll. Ammunition has become scarce in [[Mariupol]] and other areas.”

For the same reason, the war in Ukraine is a sobering preview of the problems the U.S. itself would face in a conflict against Russia or China. If forced to go to war in [[Eastern Europe]] or the Western Pacific, Washington would spend down its stockpiles of missiles, precision-guided munitions and other critical capabilities in days or weeks. It would probably suffer severe losses of tanks, planes, ships and other assets that are sophisticated, costly and hard to replace.”<ref>https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2022-04-14/russia-ukraine-war-u-s-is-running-out-of-weapons-aiding-kyiv</ref>}}

======Decision to arm Ukraine with offensive weapons======
On June 1, 2022 Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov told ''RIA Novosti'' news that Biden's decision to arm Ukraine with [[HIMAR]] missile launchers increases the risk of direct confrontation between Russia and the United States. Foreign secretary [[Blinken]] said the weapons, which have a precision range of up to 300 kilometers, were given on the pretext of a promise by Zelensky not to use the HIMARs against Russian territory. However Zelensky's transgender chief propagandist [[Alexei Arestovich]] immediately threatened, "Crimea is ours…It belongs to Ukraine…And they know it…Therefore, it will fly to Crimea double-time."<ref>https://www.sott.net/article/468500-US-to-allow-Ukraine-to-decide-range-of-missiles-Kiev-threatens-to-strike-Crimea-should-the-need-arise?</ref> Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council [[Dmitry Medvedev]] retorted, “If those types of weapons are used against the territory of Russia, the armed forces of our country will have no other choice but to strike decision-making centers...It is obvious what those decision-making centers are: the defense ministry, the general staff and so on...But it should be understood that, in this case, the ultimate decision-making centers are regretfully not even on the territory of Kiev." <ref>https://tass.com/politics/1459891</ref>

''The Washington Post'' reported on June 17, 2022,
{{quotebox-float|"Biden administration officials had discussed the possibility of a protracted conflict with global spillover effects even before February [2022], as U.S. intelligence suggested Putin was preparing to invade.

The Biden administration hopes that the new weaponry, in addition to successive waves of sanctions and Russia’s diplomatic isolation, will make a difference in an eventual negotiated conclusion to the war, potentially diminishing Putin’s willingness to keep up the fight, the official said.

Even if that reality does not materialize immediately, officials have described the stakes of ensuring Russia cannot swallow up Ukraine — an outcome officials believe could embolden Putin to invade other neighbors or even strike out at NATO members — as so high that the administration is willing to countenance even a global [[recession]] and mounting [[hunger]]."<ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/06/17/long-war-ukraine/</ref>}}

=====Bucha massacre=====
[[File:Safari.PNG|left|300px|thumb|Ukraine Special Forces SAFARI was sent into Bucha after the Russian withdrawal to hunt down so-called "collaborators", for example, people who accepted Russian humanitarian relief.<ref>https://youtu.be/9vGUJXuYQZQ?t=686</ref>]]
{{See also|Bucha massacre}}
Joe Lauria of Consortium News reported that on March 30, 2022, according to the Russian Defense Ministry, all Russian forces left Bucha. This was confirmed on March 31 Bucha mayor Anatolii Fedoruk in a video on the Bucha City Council official Facebook page. The translated post accompanying the video says:
{{quotebox-float|“March 31 – the day of the liberation of Bucha. This was announced by Bucha Mayor Anatolii Fedoruk. This day will go down in the glorious history of Bucha and the entire Bucha community as a day of liberation by the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the Russian occupiers."<ref>https://youtu.be/BL8R6K5VdtI?t=519</ref>}}
There was no mention of a massacre of hundreds of civilians littering the streets. Evidence of crimes appeared only on the fourth day after the Security Service of Ukraine and representatives of Ukrainian media arrived in the town.<ref>https://consortiumnews.com/2022/04/04/questions-abound-about-bucha-massacre/</ref>
[[File:SBU actions in Bucha April 2, 2022.PNG|right|300px|thumb|[[SBU]] special forces with Cyrillic '''СБУ''' acronym brutalizing civilians, April 2, 2022.<ref>https://twitter.com/NG_Strategy/status/1511921181259022343</ref>]]
''The New York Times'' was in Bucha on April 2, 2022 and did not report a massacre. Instead, the ''Times'' confirmed the Russian withdrawal was completed two days after the mayor of Bucha said it was, and that the Russians left “behind them dead soldiers and burned vehicles, according to witnesses, Ukrainian officials, satellite images and military analysts.” The ''Times'' said reporters found the bodies of six civilians. “It was unclear under what circumstances they had died, but the discarded packaging of a Russian military ration was lying beside one man who had been shot in the head,” the paper said. In Bucha, the ''Times'' was close to the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion, whose soldiers appear in the newspaper’s photographs. The ''Times'' suggests that Azov Nazis may be responsible for the killings:
{{quotebox-float|“Something very interesting then happens on [Saturday] 2 April, hours before a massacre is brought to the attention of the national and international media. The US and EU-funded Gorshenin Institute online [Ukrainian language] site Left Bank announced that:

:''‘Special forces have begun a clearing operation in the city of Bucha in the Kyiv region, which has been liberated by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The city is being cleared from saboteurs and accomplices of Russian forces.’''<ref>https://en.lb.ua/news/2022/04/02/12441_special_forces_regiment_safari.html</ref>

The Russian military has by now completely left the city, so this sounds for all the world like reprisals. The state authorities would be going through the city searching for ‘saboteurs’ and ‘accomplices of Russian forces.’ Only the day before [Friday], Ekaterina Ukraintsiva, representing the town council authority, appeared on an information video on the Bucha Live Telegram page wearing military fatigues and seated in front of a Ukrainian flag to announce ‘the cleansing of the city.’ She informed residents that the arrival of the Azov battalion did not mean that liberation was complete (but it was, the Russians had fully withdrawn), and that a ‘complete sweep’ had to be performed.”}}
According to War On Fakes, "the first unit of the Ukrainian armed forces to enter Bucha was the special forces of the National Guard of Ukraine. The official Telegram channel of the National Guard posted a video, filmed by the fighters of this detachment themselves. We can see on this video that the Ukrainian military calmly pass through the streets of the city—and no ‘mountains of corpses’ are visible on these streets.” War On Fakes then asks, “So where did the corpses on the streets of Bucha come from. And who are these people?
The answer may lie in the video of the Territorial Defense of Ukraine, which clearly states the question ‘Can I shoot at them if there are no blue armbands?’ To which a positive response follows. The video was originally posted by the leader of the [[Territorial Defense]] Sergey ‘Botsman’ Korotkikh.”<ref>https://mronline.org/2022/04/07/staged-massacre-in-bucha/</ref> Sergey ‘Botsman’ Korotkikh later makes startling postings about the disappearance of Chilean/American journalist [[Gonzalo Lira]] from [[Kharkiv]]<ref>Sergey ‘Botsman’ Korotkikh</ref>

On April 3, 2022 when the story broke, Russia immediately requested a meeting if the [[UN Security Council]] for the following Monday, April. The [[United Kingdom]], another permanent member of the Security Council, [[veto]]ed holding a Security Council meeting in the matter.<ref>https://www.sott.net/article/466326-Britain-blocking-UN-investigation-into-Bucha-massacre-in-Ukraine-Russia</ref>
Russian UN Ambassador said in a statement:

The [[Pentagon]] refused to confirm the Ukrainian government's claim that Russians were responsible for the massacre. <ref>https://www.reuters.com/world/pentagon-cant-independently-confirm-atrocities-ukraines-bucha-official-says-2022-04-04/</ref><ref>https://www.reuters.com/world/pentagon-cant-independently-confirm-atrocities-ukraines-bucha-official-says-2022-04-04/</ref><ref>https://www.moonofalabama.org/2022/04/us-military-intelligence-official-refutes-russian-atrocities-claims/comments/page/5/</ref>

Former leader of the Socialist Party of Ukraine, Ilya Kiva said that the story in Bucha was planned and prepared in advance by the [[counterintelligence]] of Ukraine, with the assistance of the British [[MI6]]. Kiva said,
{{quotebox-float|"The whole story in Bucha was prepared and planned in advance by the SBU and [[MI6]]. They arrived early in the morning, cordoned off the area, scattered the corpses and then sent [[journalist]]s there. That's why that clown Zelensky even came back.

But it didn't happen."<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ot894JsANM</ref>}}
All the corpses wore white arm bands which were distributed by the Russian military to identify civilian non-combatants, who then became the victims of Ukrainian security forces as collaborators in reprisal actions. Some alleged corpses sat up after television cameras filmed them.<ref>https://rumble.com/vzl3qf-evidence-of-bucha-false-flag.html</ref><ref>https://southfront.org/leaked-recording-allegedly-confirms-massacre-in-bucha-was-staged-by-ukrainian-militants/</ref> Ukrainian television showed footage of Ukrainian security forces dragging corpses into place for the TV cameras.

======Western coverup======
Western media and the NATO allies [[coverup]] came unglued by their own investigation. A team of forensic investigators from Kyiv reported that dozens of civilians who died in the city of Bucha were killed by tiny metal arrows from shells fired by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) artillery.

Pathologists and coroners who are carrying out postmortems on bodies found in mass graves in the region north of Kyiv said they found small metal darts, called fléchettes, embedded in people’s heads and chests. “We found several really thin, nail-like objects in the bodies of men and women and so did others of my colleagues in the region,” Vladyslav Pirovskyi, a Ukrainian forensic doctor, told ''[[The Guardian]]''. “It is very hard to find those in the body, they are too thin. The majority of these bodies come from the Bucha-Irpin region.”

Independent weapons experts who reviewed pictures of the metal arrows found in the bodies confirmed that they were fléchettes, an anti-personnel weapon widely used during the first world war. These small metal darts are contained in tank or field gun shells. Each shell can contain up to 8,000 fléchettes. Once fired, shells burst when a timed fuse detonates and explodes above the ground.

“According to a number of witnesses in Bucha, fléchette rounds were fired by artillery a few days before Russian forces withdrew from the area at the end of March”, – ''The Guardian'' reported.<ref>https://youtu.be/MpSM-aiaxK4</ref> The same fléchettes were used by the AFU in 2014 in the [[Lugansk Peoples Republic]] (LPR) at the start of the Donbas war.

Fléchettes were not widely used during the [[Second World War]], but were brough back by the US during the [[Vietnam war]]. “Fléchettes are an anti-personnel weapon designed to penetrate dense vegetation and to strike a large number of enemy soldiers,” according to Amnesty International. “They should never be used in built-up civilian areas.”<ref>https://southfront.org/bucha-investigation-contradicts-itself-confirms-afus-atrocities/</ref>

A team of 18 experts from the forensic department of France’s national gendarmerie, alongside a team of forensic investigators from Kyiv, have started documenting the situation after the re-occupation of Bucha by the SBU Safari force. “We are seeing a lot mutilated (disfigured) bodies,” said Pirovsky. “A lot of them had their hands tied behind their backs and shots in the back of their heads. There were also cases with automatic gunfire, like six to eight holes on the back of victims. And we have several cases of cluster bombs’ elements embedded in the bodies of the victims.”

Evidence collected by experts during a visit to Bucha, Hostomel and Borodianka, and reviewed by independent weapons experts, showed that cluster munitions and powerful unguided bombs were used in the region. They killed a large number of civilians and destroyed at least eight buildings. These types of weapons are banned by the Ottawa Convention, which Ukraine is party to. Illegal cluster munitions were discovered in Ukrainian weapons storage depots.

=====Expropriation of grain stocks=====
Biden called for the expropriation of 20 million tonnes of Ukrainian grain stocks to alleviate price increases caused by American and European sanctions.<ref>https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2022/05/11/remarks-by-president-biden-on-supporting-farmers-and-american-families/</ref>

=====NYT turns on Biden's war policy=====
On May 19, 2022, after NATO's humiliating defeat in the [[Battle of Mariupol]], the ''New York Times'' editorial board turned on Biden's war policy which was having a disastrous effect on the US economy and causing the senseless destruction of lives and property in Ukraine:
{{quotebox-float|"Recent bellicose statements from Washington — President Biden’s assertion that Mr. Putin “cannot remain in power,” Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s comment that Russia must be “weakened” and the pledge by the House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, that the United States would support Ukraine “until victory is won” — may be rousing proclamations of support, but they do not bring negotiations any closer.

In the end, it is the Ukrainians who must make the hard decisions: They are the ones fighting, dying and losing their homes....Biden should also make clear to President Volodymyr Zelensky and his people that there is a limit to how far the United States and NATO will go to confront Russia, and limits to the arms, money and political support they can muster. It is imperative that the Ukrainian government’s decisions be based on a realistic assessment of its means and how much more destruction Ukraine can sustain.

Confronting this reality may be painful, but it is not appeasement. This is what governments are duty bound to do, not chase after an illusory “win.”<ref>Editorial,

The press exited quickly and quietly. Videocameras were disassembled from tripods and still photographers stopped shooting. Portable lights came down from retractable poles. No one spoke and no one lingered. Putin pulled the plug, stole Biden's audience, and rendered him speechless. Putin and the Russian delegation sat motionless as their American counterparts realized the rug had been pulled out underneath Biden's feet.

Gabriel Noronha, who served for two years in former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s Iran Action Group on Biden's deal (Mar/2022):<ref>Gabriel Noronha, "[https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/this-isnt-obamas-iran-deal-its-much-much-worse This Isn’t Obama’s Iran Deal. It’s Much, Much Worse]", ''Tablet'', March 7, 2022.<blockquote>
Anyone seeking to gauge the imminent outcome of the international talks over Iran’s nuclear program being held in Vienna should take a look at reports from late January that three top U.S. diplomats had quit—largely in protest over the direction set by U.S. Special Envoy for Iran Robert Malley, who serves as the U.S. government’s chief negotiator.

Having served for two years in former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s Iran Action Group, I knew that this development was tantamount to a public cry for an intervention. Such resignations—not of conservative dissenters, but of career staff and President Joe Biden’s own political appointees—should have been cause for Biden or Secretary Antony Blinken to recall Malley and investigate. Their failure to do so is a sign either of a troubling lack of attention to the talks, or else the possibility that Malley—who served in the same capacity under President Barack Obama when the first Iran deal, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), was originally negotiated and signed—has been given a free hand to negotiate whatever he wants, as long as he gets Iran to sign.

Evidence for the latter view can be gleaned from the fact that Blinken has reneged on his pledge that his Iran negotiating team would have “a diversity of views.” Instead, he has let Malley continue to concede issue after issue in Vienna. Multiple career officials view these capitulations as so detrimental to U.S. national security that they contacted me requesting that I rapidly share details of these concessions with Congress and the public in an effort to stop them.

Reports out of Vienna indicate that a deal could occur within the next few days. While some issues are still being ironed out—such as whether the United States will grant Russia immunity from any economic sanctions relating to Iran, as Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has publicly demanded—the details that follow have been conveyed to me as finalized. My subsequent discussions with foreign diplomats—including those directly involved and those outside but close to the negotiations—confirmed their claims. Ambassador Mikhail Ulyanov, who led negotiations on behalf of Russia, has crowed that “Iran got much more than it could expect. Much more,” and bragged about how Russia teamed up with China and Iran to get dozens of wins over the United States and European negotiating positions.

The list of concessions that follows is long, detailed, disturbing, but also somewhat technical. But this much is clear to me: The deal being negotiated in Vienna is dangerous to U.S. national security, to the stability of the Middle East, and to the Iranian people who suffer most under that brutal regime. The lack of evidence to justify a removal of U.S. sanctions is illegal, and the deal that will be foisted upon the world without the support of Congress will be illegitimate. This deal will not serve U.S. interests in either the short or long term.
With Robert Malley in the lead, the United States has promised to lift sanction...</blockquote></ref><blockquote>This isn’t Obama’s Iran deal. It’s much, much worse.</blockquote>
And:<blockquote>
Iran is set to get access to a massive windfall of cash: My latest estimate (derived from figures declassified during my tenure at the State Department) is $90 billion in access to foreign exchange reserves, and then a further $50-$55 billion in extra revenue each year from higher oil and petrochemical exports, with no restrictions on how or where the money can be spent.
Personally, the most troubling transfer of funds will be the $7 billion ransom payment the United States is preparing to pay for the release of four Americans from an Iranian jail. Now, let me be clear: I would be extremely glad to bring these Americans back home safely as quickly as possible. They are innocent victims who, along with their families, have suffered unjustly for far too long.

=====Illicit oil=====
Iran’s illicit oil sales help fuel mass military buildup. Biden admin’s lax sanctions enforcement drives Iranian military spending.<ref>[https://freebeacon.com/national-security/irans-illicit-oil-sales-help-fuel-mass-military-buildup/ Iran’s Illicit Oil Sales Help Fuel Mass Military Buildup], ''Free Beacon'', Oct 11, 2022.
<blockquote>Biden admin’s lax sanctions enforcement drives Iranian military spending.

The Biden administration’s lax enforcement of sanctions on Iran’s illicit oil trade has allowed the hardline regime to infuse more than $15 billion into its military and terrorist proxies during the past two years, according to analysis by a watchdog group.
Iranian military spending significantly jumped in 2022 as the regime got more access to cash through its multibillion-dollar trade in illicit oil—cash that made its way to the regime as a result of the Biden administration’s decision not to enforce U.S. sanctions, according to United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI), a watchdog group that tracks the regime’s oil sales and military spending.
Iran, according to a report by UANI and an open source military spending database, has allocated $10.5 billion this year for its military and Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), a paramilitary fighting force that backs terrorist groups across the region. That number, which jumped from $4.5 billion in 2021, comes after the regime took in some $43 billion in funds from illicit oil sales, primarily to China. This cash is fueling Iran’s regional terror enterprise, as well as its crackdown at home on a growing protest movement that threatens to topple the hardline regime.</blockquote></ref>

The "Palestinian people" have spoken. Will Biden listen to them?

"In the name of Allah, the merciful and compassionate," said Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas, “we would like to welcome Secretary Clinton.”
“Blinken,” someone corrected him.

“Sorry, Blinken,” said the 86-year-old Islamic terrorist leader.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken had to travel thousands of miles to find a leader even more unpopular and out of it than the one he had left behind at the White House.
That was last year. This year, Abbas got Blinken’s name right, but not much else.

In 17 years (and just one election), Abbas has seen a lot of secretaries of state come and go to get their pictures taken with him before sending him a few hundred million dollars.

Last year, Abbas told Blinken that he had “postponed the elections” because of Israel and that the moment he gets his paws on Jerusalem, “we will hold them immediately and without any delay, because ultimately what we’re interested in is to establish democracy throughout Palestine.” This year they can’t be held either, because Abbas still doesn’t have Jerusalem.

The last Palestinian Authority presidential election was in 2005. Abbas won. The last parliamentary election was in 2006. Hamas won. The presidential and parliamentary elections have been postponed since then but are expected to resume any time now. If not, blame Israel.

Since elections won’t be happening anytime soon, a recent poll reveals that 73% of the “Palestinians” occupying the West Bank and Gaza Strip want Abbas to resign.
If elections were somehow held today, the Hamas presidential candidate would win 54% of the vote while Abbas would only get 38%. So you can see why there will be no elections.

Sixty-one percent want to tear up all agreements with Israel (since they haven’t kept them, that would be a technicality), 70% don’t want to negotiate with Israel and 64% don’t even want to negotiate with Biden. Fifty-eight percent oppose the “two-state solution” that is the touchstone of the entire peace process.

Seventy-three percent believe that the Koran predicts that Israel will be destroyed, but only 32% believe it will happen in 2022.
Under these circumstances, the last thing the Biden administration wants is democracy for the quarreling foreign jihadist tribes who invaded Israel over the last few centuries and were rebranded with the name of the European colonists known as the Philistines.

Blinken is fine with Abbas postponing the elections forever, because otherwise the terror clans will do what they did the last time that Bush naively allowed elections and vote for Hamas.

And that would be inconvenient because Hamas won’t pretend that they aren’t terrorists.

Four Israelis were murdered last week by a Muslim terrorist attack at a mall in Beersheva.

Despite the terrorist’s Islamic State membership, a Hamas spokesman praised “the executor of the heroic operation” and promised more “heroic operations: stabbings, ramming and shooting” like the car-ramming and stabbing spree that killed a rabbi who ran a soup kitchen and two mothers of three. So much for the claim that Hamas will inhibit the rise of the “extremists” of ISIS.
P.A. media also hailed the terrorist, Muhammad Abu al-Kiyan, who was shot and killed by an Israeli bus driver who chased him down on foot, as a “martyr.” If the P.A. follows its usual “Pay to Slay” policy in this case, it won’t just be financially supporting the usual stable of PLO, Hamas and Islamic Jihad families, but also an ISIS terrorist’s family.

And that will mean American taxpayers will end up subsidizing ISIS terrorism in Israel, as the Biden administration explores ways to bypass the Taylor Force Act’s ban on terror funding.

At a joint press conference on Sunday with Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, Blinken gave a speech mostly blaming Israel for future violence during Passover and Ramadan. That speech was followed by another ISIS attack in which two heavily armed terrorists opened fire on a bus. The Islamic terrorists were taken down by cops who had been eating nearby, but not before they killed two officers.

Hamas celebrated the “valor and courage” of the ISIS terrorists, as did Islamic Jihad.
Hezbollah, backed by Iran, praised the ISIS attack as an “important and most effective practical response to the infamous and treacherous normalization meetings that some Arab regimes are carrying out with the enemy entity,” referring to the anti-Iran summit in Israel with the foreign ministers of Bahrain, UAE, Morocco and Egypt.

Iran’s pro-Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps outlet, too, praised it as a “martyrdom operation.” When it comes to Israel, Iran and ISIS are on the same side. Much as Al-Qaeda and Iran were on the same side when it came to the terrorist attacks of September 11.

Blinken meanwhile used the visit to pitch Israelis on a Biden plan to remove the IRGC, Iran’s terror hub, from the list of foreign terrorist organizations, claiming it would be “symbolic.”

He failed to condemn the terrorist attack as an ISIS attack, calling it “senseless” violence.

At his joint press conference with Abbas, Blinken also failed to condemn terrorism or to note that ISIS, with the tacit support of his PLO hosts in Ramallah and of Hamas in Gaza, was planting its flag in Israel. Instead, Blinken once again condemned Jewish Israeli “settler violence.”

Like Undersecretary of State Victoria Nuland’s previous visit, the formula of Biden administration officials condemning Israeli “settler violence” while promising to “strengthen” the terrorists of the P.A. is as familiar as it is evil. The P.A. is an unwanted institution whose leader 73% of the people he rules over want to see out of office.
And 49% want to dissolve the Palestinian Authority.

Considering the decades of failure, misery and terrorism wrought by the failed Clinton initiative to create a Palestinian state, it’s long past time for everyone to turn the page on this disaster.

Neither Arab Muslims nor Israelis want Abbas or the P.A. Only diplomats like Blinken and Nuland insist on keeping the senile tyrant of Ramallah in office until he dies.

In a final statistic, the poll asked who was “most deserving of representing and leading the Palestinian people.” Thirty-one percent picked Hamas, 29% chose Abbas’ P.A., and 33% chose none of the above. Eighty-four percent believe the P.A. is corrupt and 70% believe Hamas is dirty.
The “Palestinian people” have spoken. Will Biden listen to them?

The root source of the corruption is the hundreds of millions of dollars Blinken came bearing last year for the regime of a corrupt, senile autocrat who didn’t even know whom he was talking to. There’s more money coming this year to prop up the terrorist regime.

All in the name of a peace which doesn’t exist and that the majority of “Palestinians” don’t want.

The United States has gone from using its foreign aid to the P.A. to prop up PLO, Islamic Jihad and Hamas terrorism against Israel to subsidizing ISIS terrorism.
Will ISIS be a final red line for the corrupt farce of a two-state solution and a peace process?</blockquote></ref>

===Qatar===

In Jan 2022, Biden told [[Qatar]]’s emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, earlier this month that the Gulf country is to be designated as a major non-NATO ally, a significant upgrade in relations between the two countries. Yet the designation comes despite concerns over Qatar’s backing of Islamist groups throughout the region, including Hamas.
Experts add:<ref>Ariel Ben Solomon, "[https://www.jns.org/with-major-non-nato-designation-america-seems-to-court-terror-supporting-qatar/ With major non-NATO designation, America seems to court terror-supporting Qatar]", ''JNS'', Feb 18, 2022.</ref><blockquote>
“For decades, Qatar has provided financial and political support, directly and indirectly, to virtually every anti-American Islamic terrorist organization,” noted Carmon.

This list includes the terror-based Muslim Brotherhood, Al-Qaeda and even organizations affiliated with ISIS, he claimed.

Senior Muslim cleric and Muslim Brotherhood leader Sheikh Yusef al-Qaradawi, a prominent Islamist known for his vicious anti-Semitism and justification of the Holocaust, has been operating for years from Qatar under its protection, said Carmon. “In addition, Qatar has provided shelter to several other jihadi leaders.”
For example, according to testimony in 2003 before a committee in the U.S. House of Representatives, the Qatar Charitable Society is linked to top levels of the Qatari government and played a significant role in funding jihadi groups, including Al-Qaeda... In addition, the “charity” organization was first named as funding Al-Qaeda during the trial proceedings of the 1998 bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.
“If it weren’t for Qatar, the September 11 attacks might not have taken place,” he continued.

“In 1996, terrorist mastermind Khalid Sheikh Muhammad had been under Qatari protection in Doha. When the U.S. government notified the Qatari emir that they were coming to arrest KSM for his involvement in terrorist plots, KSM disappeared within hours, only to reappear in 2001 as the mastermind behind 9/11.”
Jonathan Schanzer, senior vice president at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told JNS, “the Biden decision was driven in part by the looming energy crisis. Qatar is a major global gas producer and provider.”
“With Russia set to invade Ukraine and potentially cut off gas to Europe, the administration needs alternatives. So, some of this may link back to our large air-force base at Al Udeid,” he said.
“But don’t ignore the looming energy crisis. It accounts for quite a bit right now,” he added.

Qatar has ruled out normalizing relations with Israel

... the official Qatari-owned TV channel, Al Jazeera, functions as a mouthpiece for jihadi terror organizations. “It has praised Osama bin Laden and broadcasted his speeches and allowed a sheikh to pledge allegiance to ISIS on air.”
“The Qatari-based channel has also aired calls for terror attacks against American oil installations,” he said. “It even hosted a birthday party—complete with a large cake, fireworks and a band—for released terrorist Samir Al-Kuntar,” a Lebanese Druze member of the Palestine Liberation Front and Hezbollah “who brutally murdered a 4-year-old [Israeli] girl and her father in 1979.”

Qatar’s duplicity regarding the United States is manifest in its diplomacy, too. “Qatar funded the Taliban throughout America’s presence in Afghanistan, yet the American administration is eagerly thanking Qatar for its ‘help’ in preventing an even greater disaster during the withdrawal last August.”
According to an exclusive report by Axios last week, Qatar arranged with the Taliban to resume evacuation flights with Qatar Airways to allow American and other countries to evacuate thousands of their citizens.

Another Axios report, also last week, said that Qatar ruled out normalizing relations with Israel. Al Thani said that while Qatar continues to have a “working relationship” with Israel to help the Palestinians, he does not envision the country joining the Abraham Accords “in the absence of a real commitment to a two-state solution.”
The country has been involved in ensuring that Israel helps move aid and reconstruction supplies to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and has transferred hundreds of millions of dollars of aid to Hamas, which rules the coastal enclave with an iron fist.

Moreover, the United States acts like it is indebted to Qatar for hosting the Al Udeid Air Base and U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) headquarters, which Qatar built at the cost of $2 billion, stated Carmon.
There was another option: Both the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia had offered to host the CENTCOM base in Qatar’s stead, but America rejected their offers.
He said “the Qataris should be thanking the U.S. for guaranteeing their security, but instead, Qatar has been strengthening security relations with countries like China and telling the Iranians that ‘only countries along the coast [of the Persian Gulf] should keep security in the region.’ ”</blockquote>

Former Obama Ambassador to Afghanistan Ryan Crocker said,<ref>The Atlantic (2011).

{{quotebox-float|“We’re going to pay for that for a long time to come, and that’s why it is insane – just idiotic – to think that we can tell the Taliban that if they don’t stop taking over territory and play nice, the international community will withhold recognition and support. The Taliban really doesn’t care, because they’ve got something far more valuable.”

“We have seen this movie before. This would be the Taliban of the 1990s that gave safe haven to al-Qaida, except they’re meaner and tougher than they were then because of what they’ve been through.”

“But even with all of that, I’m afraid a lot of people are going to die. As the Taliban moves into different cities and towns, they’ve got their hit list. So it’s going to be messy, it’s going to be incomplete and more people are going to die, but we’ve got to make our best possible effort.”

{{quotebox-float|“Joe Biden’s handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal was condemned as “catastrophic” and “shameful” on Wednesday as the [[Houses of Parliament]] delivered an unprecedented rebuke to a US president. MPs and peers from across the political spectrum, including [[Boris Johnson]], put some blame for the Taliban’s takeover and the chaos that followed on Britain’s closest ally. Mr Biden was accused of “throwing us and everybody else to the fire” by pulling out US troops, and was called “dishonourable” for criticising Afghan forces for not having the will to fight. Former defence chiefs who led British troops in the Middle East were among those to speak out, while there were warnings that the West’s withdrawal would embolden Russia and China.

[…] Labour MP Chris Bryant called Mr Biden’s remarks about Afghan soldiers “some of the most shameful comments ever from an American president”. Khalid Mahmood, a Labour MP and former defence minister, said: “The Biden government have just come in and, without looking at what is happening on the ground, have taken a unilateral decision, throwing us and everybody else to the fire.” <ref>[https://archive.is/YkOPb#selection-517.0-535.24 Parliament holds Joe Biden in contempt over Afghanistan], By Ben Riley-Smith, ''The Telegraph'', 18 August 2021.</ref>}}

The Taliban regime that the Biden junta facilitated to power contained several leaders on the [[FBI]]'s Most Wanted List. Biden's abandonment of $83 billion in military equipment made the United States, bar far, the world's largest state-sponsor of terror.

====Taliban threatens to send 2000 suicide bombers to DC====
The Taliban told the United States that if America wants 2,000 soldiers to guard its embassy in Kabul, the Taliban too will deploy a similar number of [[suicide bomber]]s at the Afghan embassy in Washington D.C. On December 11, 2021, a tweet by Maulvi Mohammad Yaqoob Mujahid, the son of the late Afghan Taliban founder Mullah Mohammad Omar Mujahid and now the acting defense minister of Afghanistan under the Taliban regime, stated: “If America wants 2,000 English [i.e., American] troops at its embassy in Afghanistan, we also want 2,000 Fidayeen Mujahideen [i.e., suicide bombers] from the Fateh Force at the embassy of Afghanistan in America.” The tweet is the first indication that the U.S. is seeking to deploy 2,000 troops to open its embassy in Kabul, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).<ref>https://www.memri.org/jttm/afghan-taliban-defense-minister-maulvi-mohammad-yaqoob-mujahid-if-america-wants-2000-english-ie#_edn1</ref>

Fidayeen is another term used by jihadi groups for their suicide bombers. “Fateh Force,” or “victorious force,” is a “martyrdom force” within the Badri 313 unit of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. Badri 313 is named after the Ghazwa-e-Badr, the first Islamic battle led by Islam’s founder Muhammad in which 313 Muslims defeated thousands of non-Muslim tribesmen.

====Looting Afghanistan's central reserves====
On February 11, 2022 Joe Biden signed an executive order which splits Afghanistan's $7 billion in foreign reserves between 9/11 victims and aid to Afghans. <ref>https://foreignpolicy.com/2022/02/11/biden-afghanistan-currency-taliban/</ref>

====Alleged killing of Zawahiri====
In August 2022 Biden announced the alleged killing of former al-Qaeda leader [[Ayman al-Zawahiri]], who was reported dead in November 2020. Zawahiri was allegedly killed by violating international airspace with an experimental weapon prohibited by the Geneva Convention. Hours later, the U.S. State Department issued a travel alert for the heightened probability of retaliatory terrorist attacks against U.S. citizens.

=====Taiwan provocations=====
In August 2022, in retaliation for provocative acts by the Biden regime against Taiwan and in the Taiwan Straits, China passed numerous sanctions against the United States, American citizens and their families. The Chinese Defense Ministry released a list of areas in which there will no longer be communication between Chinese and American officials, that includes working meetings between defense departments, maritime security consultation, cooperation on illegal migration, judicial assistance, transnational crime, drug control, and [[climate change]], and a planned phone call between senior military commanders of the two nations was canceled.

Tara Reade is a former aide to Senator Joseph R. Biden.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmVUQ7ii3_4</ref> Reade filed sexual penetration and assault charges against Biden.<ref>https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-woman-who-accused-biden-of-sexual-assault-files-criminal-complaint-with-police/</ref> Biden, a supposed [[women's rights]] advocate and author of the [[Violence Against Women Act]] which the [[Supreme Court]] found unconstitutional, is the original founder of the 'Believe All Women' movement when in 1991 he hastily arranged the [[racial]]ly-motivated [[Anita Hill]] hearings to against [[Justice Clarence Thomas]].

Reade has been trying to tell her story since it happened in 1993. It's a story about sexual assault, digital penetration which is [[rape]], retaliation, and silencing.

Then in January 2020 Reade tried to come forward again. This time she contacted Times Up Now, the sexual harassment organization. Ryan Grim at ''The Intercept'' reported the organization claimed they could not help her because Joe Biden was a candidate for federal office and supporting a case against him could jeopardize their nonprofit status.<ref>https://theintercept.com/2020/03/24/joe-biden-metoo-times-up/</ref> They also pointed out that the public relations firm that works on behalf of the Times Up Now Legal Defense Fund is SKD Knickerbocker, and SKDKnickerbocker managing director is former [[Obama]] [[White House]] Communication's director, the notorious [[Maoist]] and [[liberal]] apologist for [[mass murder]], [[Anita Dunn]].<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14tfnIkQ-qU</ref> Dunn is the top adviser to Joe Biden.<ref>https://legalinsurrection.com/2019/04/back-to-the-future-biden-hires-anita-dunn-former-obama-adviser-who-praised-mao/</ref>

In other words, Times Up Now, an alleged women's support group, and Anita Dunn will take political dirt on their enemies, and give a heads up to their allies. In the case of Tara Reade, Dunn used Reade to vault herself into Biden's inner orbit and a cushy job in the future Biden administration. It was no surprise when Biden appointed Dunn his chief advisor in January 2020 before the [[2020 New Hampshire Democratic primary]], since Dunn now had the goods on Biden. Given Biden's mental incapacity questions have surged as to who really is in charge. Anita Dunn, the woman who considers the greatest mass murderer the planet has ever known as her "favorite philosopher', appears to hold that trusted position.

Leaked document reveals Biden’s Afghan failures:<ref>Jonathan Swan, Hans Nichols, [https://www.axios.com/leaked-document-reveals-bidens-afghan-failures-c27d790c-3a50-4734-8543-7db710898bb2.html Scoop: Leaked document reveals Biden’s Afghan failures], Axios, February 1, 2022</ref><blockquote>
Hours before the Taliban seized control of Afghanistan's capital on Aug. 15, 2021, senior Biden administration officials were still discussing and assigning basic actions involved in a mass civilian evacuation.
Outsiders were frustrated and suspicious the administration was having plenty of meetings but was stuck in bureaucratic inertia and lacked urgency until the last minute.
While the word "immediately" peppers the document, it's clear officials were still scrambling to finalize their plans — on the afternoon of Aug. 14.
For example, they'd just decided they needed to notify local Afghan staff "to begin to register their interest in relocation to the United States," the document says.
And they were still determining which countries could serve as transit points for evacuees.
The big picture: President Biden was determined to end the country's involvement in its longest war, and last April he announced his plans to withdraw all U.S. forces from Afghanistan by Sept. 11, 2021.
President Trump had previously cut a deal for a U.S. withdrawal by May 2021

==Facebook collusion==

The Biden family has a long relationship with Facebook dating back to 2010, and the ability to get critics banned. There also has been a revolving door of employees between the Obama and Biden regimes, campaign organizations, consultants, and Biden family enterprises.

On October 10, 2010, Hunter Biden emailed Arlene Busch, a partner at Rosemont Seneca, the firm set up to sell access and influence to Vice President Joe Biden. The subject of the email was his relationship with [[Chris Kelly]], Mark Zuckerberg's right-hand-man.
[[File:Chris is worth about $350 MILLION. He remains Mark Zuckerberg’s closest adviser.png|right|350px|thumb|"Chris is worth about $350 MILLION. He remains Mark Zuckerberg’s closest adviser....He is more tied to Silicon Valley money than anyone I know and is looking for places to put his money."]]
{{quotebox-float|"I brought Chris Kelly to lunch. We can talk in more detail tomorrow about the meeting, but just to be clear– Chris is worth about $350 MILLION. He remains [[Mark Zuckerberg]]’s closest adviser and was the first person outside of programers Facebook hired.

Kelly just dumped $10 million of his own money in a failed primary contest against Kamala Harris for Attorney General of California. Days later, a Kelly flunky emailed Hunter asking what favor he could do. Hunter wanted a critic's account on Facebook taken down.
{{quotebox-float|“Hi Mr. Biden, Chris Kelly forwarded me your message about a Facebook profile that you’re trying to get shut down?”

To which Hunter Biden replied:

“Thanks Adam—I will get info to you ASAP.”

Adam replied, saying, “Thank you”.<ref>https://loomered.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/image-8.png</ref>}}
Two days later the Facebook flunky confirmed the hit against a third party had been carried out.
{{quotebox-float|“Mr. Biden,

In 2012 Eric Schwerin, who formally headed up the partnership with Chinese Communists, devised a scheme to milk money out of Facebook and other Silicon Valley Democrats for then Delaware Attorney General [[Beau Biden]]:
{{quotebox-float|“Does it make sense to reach out to Chris Kelly (maybe in an email from Hunter) and ask him to suggest a number of Silicon Valley Dem Types that we should invite to Beau’s party? I am sure he would encourage them to come and giving him some ownership of that group might not be a bad idea.

“Any complications vis a vis [[Kamala Harris]] and Chris? I assume they are all good?”<ref>Kamala Harris and Chris Kelly had opposed each other in 2010 California Attorney General Democratic primary. https://ballotpedia.org/California_Attorney_General_election,_2010#Democratic_primary</ref>

Hunter Biden replied to this email saying, “Very good idea”.

Schwerin replied, saying, :

“Great. I’ll draft an email and send it from Hunter. Hunter, if you want to see it first, let me know. Otherwise, we’ll send it off tomorrow.”<ref>https://loomered.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/image-11.png</ref>}}
[[File:Klain rigged elections.jpg|right|350px|thumb|Biden [[chief of staff]] [[Ron Klain]] publicly agrees that elections are rigged.]]
Shortly after Hunter got on the payroll of Burisma, Secretary of State John Kerry's [[chief-of-staff]] gave Schwerin a heads up that ''Wall Street Journal'' reporters were poking around in the deal:
{{quotebox-float|“FYI, at David Wade’s<ref>https://loomered.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Screen-Shot-2020-12-17-at-10.09.47-PM-525x1024.png</ref> urging I spoke to the WSJ [Wall Street Journal] on background tonight. They were about to run with a story that said Rosemont Seneca had invested in Burisma. Told them that was not the case. Didn’t say much else. Not sure what else they were going with but they were apparently asking questions about ownership as well. Probably going to run tonight. Didn’t seem too concerning to me.”<ref>https://loomered.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/image-13-1024x576.png</ref>}}
David Wade at the time was Kerry's chief-of-staff. Wade previously was Joe Biden press secretary during the [[2008 presidential campaign]]. In 2017 Wade became a PR consultant for Rosemont Seneca and Hunter Biden to handle all the negative publicity regarding Joe and Hunter Biden raking off $166,000 per month in [[kickback]]s from Burisma. In the 2020 election cycle Wade went to work for Facebook.

The same day as the Schwerin email about Wade and the ''Wall Street Journal'', other members of the Washington press corp were probing the issue of the Biden family's conflict of interest and influence peddling, as well. At the State Department, junior propagandist Jen Psaki was asked by Matt Lee of the ''[[Associated Press]]'':
{{quotebox-float|Lee: “Does this building diplomatically have any concerns about potential perceptions of conflict or [[cronyism]] – which is what you’ve often accused the Russians of doing?” Paski: “No, he’s a private citizen."<ref>https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4819961/hunter-biden-ukraine-joe-biden-conflict-interest-13-2014</ref>}}
On October 14, 2020, three weeks before the 2020 presidential election, Twitter and Facebook locked the account of the ''[[New York Post]]'' and limited their ability to share and post news stories after the ''New York Post'' published a bombshell report detailing some of Hunter Biden’s emails proving that Hunter Biden introduced his father, Joe Biden, to a top Ukranian energy firm executive from [[Burisma]] while Joe Biden was [[vice president]]. This was evidence Joe Biden used his influence as vice president to enrich his family through lucrative business deals with foreign nations like Ukraine and China, compromising the integrity of the vice presidency, as well as US [[national security]]. Facebook’s Policy Communication’s Director [[Andy Stone]] said,
{{quotebox-float|“While I will intentionally not link to the New York Post, I want to be clear that this story is eligible to be fact-checked by Facebook’s third-party fact-checking partners. This is part our standard process to reduce the spread of misinformation. We temporarily reduce distribution pending fact-checker review.”<ref>https://twitter.com/andymstone/status/1316395902479872000</ref>}}
Before working for Facebook, Andy Stone worked for the Democrat’s House Majority PAC as well at the [[Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee]] (DCCC), which is a clear [[conflict of interest]] during an election year. Facebook and their executives made the pre-emptive decision to label the ''New York Post''‘s Hunter Biden story as factually incorrect and limited the publishing ability of the ''New York Post''’s account before they even “fact checked” the already factually correct article.<ref>https://loomered.com/2020/12/17/exclusive-hunter-biden-emails-reveal-founder-of-facebooks-dc-office-banned-accounts-at-bidens-request-as-family-made-millions-from-silicon-valley-dems/</ref>

The probability of mail-in voter fraud creating chaos after Election Day, November 3, 2020, is very real. Some states may force residents to use mail-in ballots during the current health emergency. Voting by mail makes it easier to commit [[fraud]], intimidate voters, and destroy the protections of the secret ballot. Without the oversight of election and polling officials, mail-in ballots are the ballots most vulnerable to being altered, stolen, or forged. Fraud by duplicate voting can occur, once by absentee or mail-in ballot, and then again in person. Employees of private companies hired to contact and register voters have been known to change party affiliations of voters and forge signatures on voter registration forms, among other things.

When Democrats want to tilt elections in their favor outside the ballot box, [[Marc Elias]] of [[Perkins Coie]] is the go-to guy. Perkins Coie is the Democratic law firm, paid by [[2016 Hillary Clinton campaign|the Hillary Clinton campaign]], that hired [[Fusion GPS]] to dig up dirt on Donald Trump in 2016. They failed, but still compiled the ''[[Steele dossier]]'' full of foreign-solicited lies about Trump and Russia, which was leaked by Obama intelligence officials to try to sabotage the new president’s administration, sow doubt in his election victory, and invalidate the votes of 63 million Americans. From [[Wisconsin]] to [[Nevada]], to [[California]], Marc Elias and the Democrats pushed lawsuits disguised as “election reform” to water down important election safeguards and increase the opportunity for fraud, abuse, and corruption. In August 2020 ''[[Politico]]'' reported,
{{quotebox|[[File:Early morning ballot dumps Nov. 4, 2020.png|right|350px|thumb|Four highly anomalous ballot dumps highlighted in yellow account for the "win" in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Georgia and represent forty-two electoral votes.<ref>https://votepatternanalysis.substack.com/p/voting-anomalies-2020</ref>]][[Coronavirus]] has turned the Democratic Party’s voter contact program, one operative said, into something more like a tech support operation than a traditional door-knocking effort.....[[Priorities USA]], the Democratic super PAC, is spending $24 million on voter mobilization, which includes vote-by-mail education. Fair Fight, a group founded by [[Stacey Abrams]], has rolled out voter protection programs in 17 states....

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump’s recent attacks on the USPS and on mail-voting is raising concern among voters, operatives say.

“We've seen such an increase from young people in terms of concern about their ballot casting,” said Jared DeLoof, the states director of [[NextGen America]], which targets younger voters. “They want to vote, they want to make sure that that vote is going to count.” [...]

Democrats believe they will also have to follow up with some voters after their ballot has been cast, in an effort to help them fix ballots that have been rejected for technical reasons. State rules vary widely on if or how voters can correct their ballots, and the time windows to do so can be short.

While Democrat campaigns and groups navigate the patchwork of state rules governing mail ballots to encourage turnout, Democrat election attorney Marc Elias is trying to change many of those rules.
[[File:2020-11-04.jpg|left|300px|thumb|]]
This is the other half of the party’s vote-by-mail efforts: a sprawling legal effort that spans every battleground state and is costing tens of millions of dollars. Priorities USA, just one of Elias’ clients, has expanded its voting litigation budget to $32 million.

“One of the features of vote by mail is that between the point that the voter cast the ballot and the point that the ballot is counted, several things have to go right,” Elias said in an interview. “One is that the ballot has to be received by the election officials in time. ... And the second is that the ballot needs to be verified and accepted.”

Elias, who was the lead attorney in former Sen. [[Al Franken]]’s (D-Minn.) 2008 recount victory and the general counsel for [[Hillary Clinton]] and John Kerry’s presidential campaigns, is pursuing what he calls “four pillars” of legal changes to election laws during coronavirus. The first, that mail ballots should include paid postage with them, has some cross-partisan support.

The other three do not, locking Elias in a wide-range legal fight with Republicans all over the country, including the Republican National Committee and its legal budget of at least $20 million. Those fights are over Elias’ push to mandate that states count ballots postmarked by Election Day but received after the fact; overhauling signature matching laws, which Elias derides as based on pseudoscience; and allowing for third parties to collect and turn in voters’ sealed absentee ballots, which Democrats call “community collection” and Republicans largely deride as “[[ballot harvesting]].”

“One thing you do is you make sure that people whose ballot is being challenged based on signature matching, that the people that are doing that have been trained, are applying uniform non-discriminatory standards. And most importantly, the voter is notified and has an opportunity to cure,” Elias said of his legal strategy. (A cure process mandates that a state contacts voters whose ballots have been rejected to give them the ability to fix — or cure — their ballot.)

Several Democrat-backed lawsuits have also pushed to expand who can cast absentee ballots. In 44 states, any voter can, at a minimum, request an absentee ballot if they choose to do so, and some states have changed that requirement as a response to the pandemic. [...]

Republicans argue that allowing for outside parties to collect and deliver ballots could lead to coercion or fraud. [...]

Depending on how close the races for the White House and battleground Senate seats are, "we could be headed for a ''[[Bush v. Gore]]'' situation in every battleground state, depending how close the results are."<ref>https://www.politico.com/news/2020/08/21/democrats-vote-by-mail-plan-399671</ref>}}
The RNC and the Trump campaign pushed back against the Democrats’ assault on the integrity of elections. All across the country, Democrats tried to use coronavirus and the courts to legalize ballot harvesting, implement a nationwide mail-in ballot system, and eliminate nearly every safeguard in our elections.

One in five mail in ballots have been rejected in several 2020 elections. Nearly two-thirds (62%) say there is fraud in U.S. elections, and that fraud would concern them under Democrats’ nationwide mail-in ballot system. Americans overwhelmingly approve of the safeguards Democrats are suing to eliminate like signature matching (84%), voter identification (80%), and a ballot receipt deadline of election day (83%). Voters also oppose (67%) allowing campaign workers to collect mail-in ballots, also known as ballot harvesting.<ref>https://www.protectthevote.com/</ref>

According to Durham, Neustar’s chief technology officer, Rodney Joffe, accessed sensitive web traffic data that the company maintained on behalf of the White House executive office in order to collect "derogatory" information about Donald Trump. Joffe allegedly provided the information to Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer [[Michael Sussmann]], who in turn gave it to the CIA.<ref>https://technofog.substack.com/p/the-unstated-scandal-the-cia-collected</ref> Durham alleged that Joffe and his associates "mined" Trump White House traffic data "for the purpose of gathering derogatory information about Donald Trump."

At 2:30 AM EDT of the 4th of November 2020, TV broadcasts reported that Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Nevada and Georgia decided to cease vote counting operations and would continue the following day.

This allowed for more time to manufacture fraudulent ballots.

An independent forensic audit of Dominion Voting Systems machines used in [[Michigan]] concluded:
{{quotebox-float|“The Dominion Voting System is intentionally and purposefully designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud and influence election results. ...The intentional errors lead to bulk adjudication of ballots with no oversight, transparency, and no audit trail.

Vice President [[Joe Biden]] oversaw the disbursement of $1 billion allocated by the U.S. to the new government of Ukraine. In 2014, Biden's son Hunter Biden, was appointed to the board of directors of Burisma Holdings, the largest oil and gas company in Ukraine. Hunter Biden was hired by [[Mykola Zlochevsky]], who served as Ukraine's ecology minister in the previous administration. Hunter Biden was paid $166,000 per month. The money was split with the nephew of [[Whitey Bulger]].

Zlochevsky came under investigation by the new administration for alleged embezzlement of $5 billion while ecology minister. The prosecutor traced payments made to Hunter Biden. Vice President Biden threatened the new Ukrainian administration to withhold $1 billion in U.S. allocated funds unless the prosecutor investigating Hunter Biden was fired.<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/09/world/europe/corruption-ukraine-joe-biden-son-hunter-biden-ties.html</ref>

Biden bragged about having caused the firing of the Ukraine prosecutor to a [[CFR]] conference.

U.S. banking records show Hunter Biden's firm, Rosemont Seneca Partners LLC, received regular transfers — usually more than $166,000 a month — from Burisma from spring 2014 through fall 2015, during a period when Joe Biden was the main U.S. official dealing with Ukraine. Biden threatened Ukrainian President [[Petro Poroshenko]] that the [[Obama administration]] would pull $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees, sending Ukraine toward insolvency, if it didn't immediately fire Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin who was investigating his son, Hunter. Biden recounted,
{{quotebox-float|"'You’re not getting the billion'. I’m going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: ‘I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money'...Well, [SOB], he got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time."<ref name="thehill.com">https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/436816-joe-bidens-2020-ukrainian-nightmare-a-closed-probe-is-revived</ref><ref>https://www.cfr.org/event/foreign-affairs-issue-launch-former-vice-president-joe-biden</ref>}}
Yuriy Lutsenko, who replaced Shokin as the prosecutor looking into Burisma, said the evidence in the Burisma case he'd like to present to [[William Barr]], particularly the vice president's intervention.

Between April 2014 and October 2015, more than $3 million was paid out by Burisma to an account linked to Biden's and [[Devon Archer]]'s Rosemont Seneca firm, according to the financial records placed in a federal court file in Manhattan in another case against Archer. The bank records show that, on most months when Burisma money flowed, two-wire transfers of $83,333.33 each were sent to the Rosemont Seneca–connected account on the same day. The same Rosemont Seneca–linked account typically then paid Hunter Biden one or more payments ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 each. Ukrainian prosecutors reviewed internal company documents and wanted to interview Hunter Biden and Archer about why they had received such payments, but couldn't because of Joe Biden's intervention. In a text message from Hunter Biden to his daughter Naomi, Hunter said their father, "Pop", takes 50% of his salary.<ref>https://www.redstate.com/scotthounsell/2020/10/15/october-surprise-giuliani-reveals-texts-from-hunter-saying-biden-got-half-of-his-contracts/</ref><ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/10/rudy-giuliani-releases-text-message-hunter-biden-daughter-naomi-unlike-pop-joe-biden-wont-make-give-half-salary-video/</ref>

===Russian collusion===

In 2014 Hunter Biden colluded with, and received $3.5 million in payment from the widow of former Moscow and the richest woman in Russia. The $3.5 million payment from [[Elena Baturina]] was for helping to establish a bank account in the United States for her.<ref>https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/missionquestfpb/shock-man-who-had-hunter-biden-s-laptop-suggests-t-t10669-s2420.html</ref> Baturina eventually laundered $39 million through American banks, with the help of [[Rosemont Seneca]], of funds stolen from contractors while her husband Yury Luzhkov was mayor of Moscow. In late 2019 Baturina was declared a fugitive from justice by a Russian court.<ref>https://www.rferl.org/a/russian-court-declares-late-moscow-mayor-s-widow-wanted-after-failure-to-appear/30348065.html</ref>

The families of Navy Seal Team 6 blame Vice President Biden for revealing the identity of the Navy Seal Team that killed [[Osama bin Laden]].<ref>https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/03/bidens_betrayal_of_seals_should_doom_presidential_run.html</ref> Seal Team 6 is a covert action force, and all its members are sworn to secrecy to never reveal the actions they participate in. The government likewise is bound to protect their identities against reprisals. In boasting of the killing, Biden named Seal Team 6 by name as the unit that found bin Laden.

On August 6, 2011, the Taliban ambushed a Chinook helicopter carrying 30 U.S. service members — including 15 SEAL Team 6 members — in [[Afghanistan]].<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2013/05/09/military-families-allege-muslim-cleric-damned-dead-navy-seals-at-ceremony/</ref> Everyone on board was killed.<ref>https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/jun/7/the-betrayal-of-the-navys-seal-team-6/</ref> In a show of [[multiculturalism]], the [[Obama administration]] insisted a [[Muslim]] cleric be present when the bodies were recovered.<ref>http://joemiller.us/2013/05/seal-team-6-press-conference-obama-at-fault-muslim-cleric-prayed-at-funeral-damned-them-to-hell/</ref>

====Bowe Bergdahl swap====
:{{See also|Obama war crimes}}
When [[Barack Obama]] released five Taliban commanders from the [[Guantanamo Bay]] prison in exchange for American deserter Bowe Bergdahl in 2014, he assured Americans that the enemy combatants would not be allowed to return to Afghanistan. 6 American soldiers lives were lost searching for the American deserter.<ref>https://nypost.com/2014/06/02/six-soldiers-died-searching-for-deserter-pow-fueling-backlash/</ref> Upon Bergdahl's return, Obama celebrated Bergdahl as a heroic “POW,” a designation the Pentagon never gave him. Khairullah Khairkhwa, one of the five released from Guantanamo, sat across the table from Joe Biden’s personal representative in [[Moscow]] in the spring of 2021, where Mullah Khairkhwa was part of the Taliban delegation that negotiated the terms of the US withdrawal. Mullah Khairkhwa is the mastermind of the Taliban takeover, even though the Pentagon classified Khairkhwa as too dangerous to release.

Khairkhwa assured the Biden junta that the Taliban would not retaliate against Afghans who worked with the US military or the US-backed government in Kabul. However, reports out of Kandahar and Kabul soon after the fall of Afghanistan indicate the Taliban was going door to door with a kill list to wipe out their enemies. Mullah Khairkhwa previously served as the Taliban’s interior minister prior to 2002, where he oversaw Islamist punishments, including beheadings and stonings.<ref> https://nypost.com/2021/08/16/taliban-leader-was-freed-from-guantanamo-in-2014-swap-by-obama/</ref>

{{quotebox-float|“Liberals have rejected common sense. Anybody who has studied the area knows that we don't have a workable rehabilitation program. Yet we continue to insist that the function of prison is to rehabilitate, not punish.

George Wallace praised Biden as "one of the outstanding young politicians of America."<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/joe-biden-once-said-democrats-needed-a-liberal-george-wallace</ref> Wallace is famous for coining the slogan in a gubernatorial inaugural address,

The same year Biden authored an amendment to gut Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. ''[[Politico]]'' writes of the whole sordid affair, {{quotebox-float|Biden morphed into a leading anti-busing crusader—all the while continuing to insist that he supported the goal of school desegregation, he only opposed busing as the means to achieve that end. This stance, which many of Biden’s liberal and moderate colleagues also held, was clever but disingenuous. It enabled Biden to choose votes over principles, while acting as if he was not doing so....In a seminal moment, the Senate thus turned against desegregation. The Senate had supported the 1964 Civil Rights Act, [[1965 Voting Rights Act]] and 1968 Fair Housing Act....the Senate remained the last bastion for those who supported strong integration policies.

Sen. James Abourezk of [[South Dakota]] related how Biden reacted when Abrourezek tried to block the amendment:
{{quotebox-float|‘Abourezk, you **********, if I ever vote for another one of your bills, it'll be a cold day in hell.'

‘Calm down, Joe,' I told him, ‘You're eventually gonna thank me for doing this.'

‘Like hell I will you dirty *******.'

A few days later, Biden came into the scheduled committee meeting, this time with a broad, friendly grin aimed directly at me.

‘Jesus, Abourezk, you were right,' he said. ‘I am gonna thank you. You should see the Delaware newspapers—big front-page headlines saying, ‘Biden Battles Liberals in Washington.' He was unabashedly elated. ‘They love me back home, how did you know this would happen?'<ref>https://freebeacon.com/politics/biden-exploded-at-dem-colleague-over-busing-called-him-dirty-bastard/</ref>}}
''The New York Times'' published a lengthy story on Biden's advocacy of segregation. In a 1977 congressional hearing related to anti-desegregation orders, Biden emphasized,
{{quotebox-float|"Unless we do something about this, my children are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle."<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/15/us/politics/biden-busing.html</ref>}}

Republican Sen. [[Edward Brooke]], the first black senator ever to be popularly elected, called Biden's amendment “the greatest symbolic defeat for [[civil rights]] since 1964.” Brooke accused Biden of leading an assault on integration.

Prof. Ronnie Dunn said opposition to busing was motivated by [[racism]] and that without the court-ordered policy Biden probably would not have become vice president in 2009. “What I find ironic is that [Biden] was the vice president under a president who, if it hadn’t been for the social interaction that occurred during the era of busing, I argue we likely would not have seen the election of Barack Obama." Dunn, an Urban Studies professor at Cleveland State University and author of the book ''Boycotts, Busing, & Beyond'', said Biden made the case in favor of maintaining segregation. "That was an argument against desegregation.” Dunn said Biden must address the issue if he runs for president. “People have to be held accountable."<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/joe-biden-embraced-segregation-in-1975-claiming-it-was-a-matter-of-black-pride</ref>

Biden's opposition to integration didn't stop there. ''HuffPo'' reported:

When Biden announced his candidacy ''Politico'' attempted to poo-poo and explain away Biden and liberal Democrat racism with a back-handed slap at [[school vouchers]] for minority students, which liberal elites have strenuously opposed ever since the Biden Amendment passed:
{{quotebox-float|School desegregation, as part of a broader suite of civil rights reforms, was once as a vital component of the Democratic Party platform. Yet since the 1970s, Democrats, in the face of concerted white backlash, have largely accommodated themselves to increasing segregation in public schools across the nation. Party leaders, even the most progressive among them, rarely propose serious solutions to this vexing problem. A sincere critique of Biden’s busing record would require a broader reckoning of the Democratic Party’s—and by extension the nation’s—abandonment of this central goal of the [[civil rights movement]].

{{quotebox-float|The day the Bidens took over Paradigm Global Advisors was a memorable one.

After the firing, the two large men escorted the fund’s president out of the firm’s midtown [[Manhattan]] office, and James Biden laid out his vision for the fund’s future. “Don’t worry about investors,” he said, according to the executive, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, citing fear of retaliation. “We've got people all around the world who want to invest in Joe Biden.”

Biden told Jill that if she ever was concerned for her safety, she should fire a [[shotgun]] from the porch which in most states could be considered reckless use of a firearm:

Bidens’ dog Major was responsible for numerous biting incidents of Secret Service personnel. One email notes that “at the current rate an Agent or Officer has been bitten every day this week."

===Denied communion===
At the 2021 G-7 meeting in Cornwall, UK, Jill had to scold Joe to “pay attention” while they were speaking to U.S. troops at Mildenhall,<ref>https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2021/06/09/jill-biden-scolds-her-husband-to-pay-attention-as-media-cleans-up-his-stumbling-speech-n394316</ref> and then had to lead him away like a child as he stumbled around in front of the press and got lost.<ref>https://twitter.com/itvnews/status/1403083935618318338</ref> While in Europe Biden requested a meeting with [[Pope Francis I]] and was denied.<ref>https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/247997/update-meeting-between-pope-francis-and-president-biden-did-not-happen</ref> Francis did not want to administer [[Eucharist|Catholic communion]] to Biden because of Biden's advocacy of murder of unborn children.<ref>https://www.catholicworldreport.com/2021/04/13/abp-naumann-pres-biden-and-the-ongoing-clash-over-holy-communion/</ref>

===Family life===

According to Ashley Biden's diary, verified by the FBI and the US Attorney of the Southern District of New York, as a young child Ashley took showers with her father which she, writing in her diary, described as "probably not appropriate." As an adult Ashley intimated in her diary why she was over-sexualized, ruminating that it began at an early age.<ref>https://noqreport.com/2021/11/05/the-doj-just-confirmed-authenticity-of-ashley-bidens-diary-by-raiding-project-veritas-and-we-have-questions/</ref> She speculates that because her mother, Jill, was "emotionally distant," she learned from her father, Joe, that she could "get love from men."<ref>https://www.bizpacreview.com/2021/11/06/owens-points-out-bidens-daughter-is-second-person-in-family-to-make-incest-allegations-after-diary-entry-1159250/</ref>
[[File:Image cefc 2016 05 05.png|right|350px|thumb|CEFC China Energy chairman [[Ye Jianming]], the former deputy secretary of the [[People's Liberation Army]] General Political Department International Liaison Department, formed a business partnership with the [[Biden family corruption|Biden family]]. In 2017 [[Hunter Biden]] told friends, "I am the managing director of CEFC."<ref>https://thenationalpulse.com/news/hunter-biden-cefc-managing-director/</ref>]]
Emails from Hunter Biden's laptop reveal Joe and Hunter shared bank accounts and paid each other's bills. Emails between Hunter and Eric Schwerin, Hunter's business partner at Rosemont Seneca, show Schwerin was working on Joe Biden's taxes. Hunter complained that 'half' of his salary went to paying his father's bills while he was VP, casting doubt on Joe's previous claims that he's never benefited from his son's business dealings. In December 2020 Hunter admitted in a public statement that he was under federal investigation over his tax affairs. The FBI and [[IRS]] probe is reportedly also looking into Hunter's foreign business relationships and the potential for money laundering charges. The Senate Homeland Security Committee issued a report raising fears that the Chinese government was attempting to influence the White House through a billion-dollar business deal between Hunter's company he co-founded with Schwerin, Rosemont Seneca, and Chinese oil giant CEFC. The Biden's were offered $30 million for introductions.<ref>https://nypost.com/2021/11/28/chinese-titan-lavished-hunter-biden-with-3-carat-gem-offer-of-30-million/</ref>

In yet more evidence of the deep commercial relationship between Hunter's firm and the Vice President's office during JoeBiden's tenure, Rosemont Seneca received special favors from the White House while Joe Biden was in office, including dozens of tickets to exclusive White House events and private tours for Rosemont Seneca clients or associates. When an aide to Sen. [[Robert Menendez]] requested VP Biden host the U.S.-Spain Council's 2010 annual meeting at his official Naval Observatory residence in Washington DC, they contacted Schwerin rather than Biden's White House office.

Hunter and Schwerin then privately discussed the potential to ingratiate themselves with 'CEOs of the major banks' if they helped arrange the request. Schwerin was also involved in the process of gifting Biden's senate papers to the University of Delaware. A member of the VP's office, Katherina Oyama, wrote to Schwerin in March 2010 detailing the restrictions Joe's White House attorney was recommending over the public release of the papers.

Schwerin made repeated references to Joe and Hunter paying each other's bills, in emails on Hunter's laptop. On June 5, 2010 he wrote: 'FYI, there are a few outstanding bills that need to be paid and I am not sure which ones are a priority and which should get paid out of 'my' account and which should be put on hold or paid out of the 'Wilmington Trust Social Security Check Account. In June 2010 he wrote: 'Mike Christopher [builder] is hassling me so I am paying a couple of the smaller things since I haven't heard from your Dad. Know he's busy — so it's OK. There is about $2,000 extra in 'my' account beyond what is used for monthly expenses.' Later that month he wrote: 'Mike Christopher [a construction worker Joe hired] is hassling me so I am paying a couple of the smaller things since I haven't heard from your Dad. Know he's busy — so it's OK.

===Shared bank accounts with Hunter===
Biden's son Hunter is known for his prolific use of the "n" word<ref>https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9661781/Hunter-Biden-used-n-word-multiple-times-casual-conversation-text-messages-show.html</ref> and boasts of smoking crack with ex-D.C. mayor [[Marion Barry]].<ref>https://therightscoop.com/listen-media-darling-hunter-biden-laughing-it-up-about-racism-and-mlk-smoking-crack-with-marion-barry/</ref> Barry was arrested while smoking crack as D.C. mayor in 1991. Hunter Biden used a racial slur to refer to [[Asian]]s in text messages with his cousin Caroline Biden, who asked if he preferred "foreign or domestic" women. Hunter referred to Asians with the offensive term "yellow."<ref>https://thepostmillennial.com/revealed-hunter-biden-used-asian-slur-when-discussing-his-sex-life</ref>
[[File:BidenRobSavage.PNG|right|300px|thumb|Hunter Biden used a joint bank account with Joe Biden to pay a Russian escort service.<ref>https://redstate.com/shipwreckedcrew/2021/06/23/new-book-about-hunter-bidens-laptop-joe-paid-for-the-hookers-and-blow-n401169</ref>]]
One night in May 2018, Hunter attempted to pay a Russian escort service $8000 for an extended bender at the Chateau Marmont on Sunset Boulevard in Beverly Hills with a debit card. The transaction didn't go through. So Hunter tried two more times with two other debit cards, one being a joint account with his father, Joe. The transactions he thought failed eventually went through, one after the other. The first $8,000 is recorded leaving his account at 10:22 a.m. At 10:50 a.m., $2,000 leaves a different account. At 10:59 a.m., $3,500 vanishes. At 11 a.m., another $8,000. At 11:03 a.m., another $3,500. About $25,000 moved in under an hour. Another $3,500 was scheduled to transfer out later that afternoon but was delayed. The head of the Los Angeles Secret Service field office, who according to news reports allegedly was retired at the time, showed up at the hotel with Deputy Assistant Director of the Secret Service Dale Pupillo who headed up Joe Biden's protection detail. Hunter was told that one of the cards he used was linked to “Celtic’s account.” “Celtic” was the Secret Service’s code name for Joe Biden.<ref>https://nypost.com/2021/06/22/did-joe-inadvertently-pay-for-hunter-bidens-wild-night-at-chateau-marmont/</ref>

Hunter had another laptop stolen in the summer of 2018 by a group of Russians he was partying with. In January 2019, Hunter left the camera rolling after filming himself having sex with a prostitute, he recounted a [[Las Vegas]] bender in which he spent ‘18 days going round from penthouse suite to penthouse suite,’ sometimes costing $10,000 a night. The video captured Hunter telling the story that during the summer of 2018 he had nearly overdosed while partying with his drug dealer and two other guys. When he came to later, he discovered his laptop was missing. “I think he’s the one that stole my computer. I think the three of them, the three guys that were like a little group. The dealer and his two guys, I took them everywhere. They have videos of me doing this....My computer, I had taken tons of like, just left like that cam on, and somebody stole it during that period of time.” The prostitute then asked Hunter if he worried the Russian thieves would try to “blackmail” him. “Yeah, in some way yeah,” Hunter replied, noting his father is “running for president,” and that “I talk about it all the time.” Joe Biden announced his candidacy just two months after the first laptop went missing. When ''The New York Post'' reported on the contents of the Hunter Biden MacBook in Octobeer 2020, “50 former senior intelligence officials,” led by former [[Director of National Intelligence]] [[James Clapper]], “signed on to a letter outlining their belief that the recent disclosure of emails allegedly belonging to Joe Biden’s son ‘has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.’” Either U.S. intelligence knew of the theft of the first laptop or they didn’t. Either way, both scenarios are damning. The FBI had been in possession of Hunter's MacBook seized at tyhe Deleware repair shop since December 2019. In both instances of the two missing laptops, the intelligence community lied to cover up the scandal.<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2021/08/13/hunter-bidens-russian-prostitute-videos-indict-both-his-father-and-u-s-intelligence-agencies/</ref>

In a March 2, 2019, conversation with an employee from Chateau Marmont Hunter recommended prostitutes should unionize. “You organize without even organizing in any traditional way. If you want to advertise legally you go through the unions [of which] you’re a member. Your dues are the fees that you pay for advertising. Whomever does this first will be running the largest union in the country.” Biden added that the people who need these unions the most are the “typical traditionally uneducated minority....It’s like any other job. There are parts of it that really suck. They’re tiring. There are clients that are complete pains in the ass. There’s management that can be really horrible...There’s really bad situations, of course. It’s like any other job. But they dance because they love it.” Biden added that he has been “telling strippers for 25 years that they should unionize.”<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/hunter-biden-prostitutes-form-union</ref>

As Democrats attempted to destroy American citizens' constitutional rights to bear arms and seize weapons, it was discovered Joe Biden's drug-addicted son, Hunter lied on a background check document in 2018 when he purchased a gun. Hunter lied about his narcotics use, and the [[Secret Service]] then illegally intervened in a criminal investigation by attempting to seize the documentation before local police and the [[ATF]] could find it.<ref>https://www.politico.com/news/2021/03/25/sources-secret-service-inserted-itself-into-case-of-hunter-bidens-gun-477879</ref>

One text message between Joseph R. Biden and Hunter Biden found on the laptop reads:
{{quotebox-float|'''Joe Biden:''' This is [name of 14-year-old girl redacted] right

==Legacy==
:{{See also|Civil Rights in the Biden era}}
[[File:You ain't Black.jpeg|right|350px|thumb|Throughout Biden's half-century career Biden never saw or felt shame for belittling Blacks to their faces with racist and insensitive remarks.<ref>https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/499214-african-american-figures-slam-biden-on-you-aint-black-comments</ref>]]
The [[Civil Rights movement]] in the Biden era took a daunting turn for the worse. Under the leadership of Senator and later Democrat president Joseph Biden, the civil rights movement suffered many heartbreaking setbacks. Beginning with Biden's attack on school desegregation and the Civil Rights Act of 1965, later the mass incarceration of a generation of American American youth, and as president, the setting up of [[concentration camp]]s for immigrant children,<ref>https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/297967</ref> Biden re-established what many consider the Democrat party's birthright to dominate and control minorities.

Biden's "you ain't black" comment targeted at African American [[freethinker]]s was [[voter intimidation]] and summed up his 47 year career as a Democrat plantation [[Massa|master]]. [[Black Entertainment Television]] (BET) co-founder Bob Johnson noted,
{{quotebox-float|"This proves unequivocally that the Democratic nominee believes that black people owe him their vote without question; even though we as black people know it is exactly the opposite. He should spend the rest of his campaign apologizing to every black person he meets."<ref>https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2020/05/25/joe-biden-you-aint-black-racism-trump-column/5254434002/</ref>}}
Biden's most enduring legacy, however, was bringing 7th century terrorists into the 21st century and equipping them with the most state-of-the-art weaponry to be used against the taxpayers and citizens who paid for and developed those same weapons to protect their civilization. Some believe Biden's ccomplishment was a warped or distorted form of "progressivism", but Biden, ever the "social engineer", considered it "leveling the playing field" and "[[equity]]." Republican [[George W. Bush]] liberated millions of Afghan women and girls from abuse and captivity,<ref>https://2001-2009.state.gov/g/drl/rls/6185.htm</ref> and was reviled by leftists; Democrat Joseph R.

Disinformation Governance Board

2022-09-07T05:21:17Z

'''John Cornyn, III''' (born February 2, 1952, in [[Houston, Texas]]) is the [[Moderate Republican]] senior [[United States Senator]] from [[Texas]]. He is considered a leader in the [[RINO]] wing of his party in contrast to his more [[conservative]] colleague, [[Ted Cruz]]. Despite being a globalist [[RINO Backer]], he was not a [[Never Trumper]], with [[FiveThirtyEight]] claiming that he was in line with the president over 90% of the time.<ref>[https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/congress-trump-score/john-cornyn/ Tracking Congress In The Age Of Trump]. ''FiveThirtyEight''</ref>

==Early life==
John Cornyn III was born in 1952 to John Cornyn II and Atholene Dale Cornyn. His father was an air force officer, and he attended a high school in Japan at a U.S. base after his family moved there.<ref>[https://www.britannica.com/biography/John-Cornyn John Cornyn]</ref>

Cornyn is a graduate of Trinity University and St. Mary's School of Law (both in [[San Antonio]] in Bexar County) and earned a Masters of Law from the [[University of Virginia]] Law School in Charlottesville. He was a state district court judge in Bexar County from 1985 to 1991.

==Political career==
In 1990, Cornyn was elected to the Texas Supreme Court. In 1998, he was elected state attorney general. After Republican Senator Phil Gramm announced his retirement Cornyn entered the race to succeed him, and defeated the Democratic nominee, [[Mayor]] Ron Kirk of [[Dallas]], a liberal [[African-American]]. He was overwhelmingly re-elected in 2008 and in 2014, defeated conservatives [[Steve Stockman]] and [[Dwayne Stovall]] in the Republican senatorial primary for his third six-year term. Cornyn serves on the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry, Budget Committee, Finance Committee, and Judiciary Committee.

In 2017, Cornyn was named to the No. 2 position in the U.S. Senate, called the "Majority Whip." His Senate seat was once held by [[Lyndon B. Johnson]], Johnson's permanent successor, [[John Tower]], the first Republican senator from Texas since [[Reconstruction]], and [[Phil Gramm]], Cornyn's predecessor from 1985 to 2002.

===RINO leanings===
Although somewhat conservative in his first term,<ref>In 2006, ''The National Journal'' ranked Cornyn as the fourth most conservative Senator. [http://nationaljournal.com/voteratings/sen/lib_cons.htm?o1=con_composite&o2=desc]</ref> Cornyn today is believed to be largely controlled by Republican Party moderates and liberals. However, his voting record indicates that he and his colleague from [[Texas]], [[Ted Cruz]] (who, unlike Cornyn, is not considered a [[RINO]]), tend to vote the same way.

====Todd Akin====
:''See also: [[RINO Backers]]''
As the chairman of the [[National Republican Senatorial Committee]] in 2012, Senator Cornyn pulled $5 million in spending out of the toss-up [[Missouri]] race because the embattled [[pro-life]] nominee, [[Todd Akin]], spoke out too much for the [[unborn]].

====Russell Voight====
In October 2017, Cornyn announced he would block the confirmation of Russ Vought, a strong conservative, to the important position of Deputy Director of the Office of Management and Budget because he wanted the federal government to appropriate even more money than it already had for the state of Texas after a hurricane.<ref>Wegmann, Philip (October 20, 2017).

''Breitbart News''. Retrieved October 23, 2017.</ref>

===Embracing Amnesty===
In 2020, after the Supreme Court upheld Obama-era amnesty program for immigrants in the USA illegally, Cornyn tweeted a statement saying that "DACA recipients deserve a permanent, legislative solution. We must take action and pass a law that will unequivocally allow these young men and women to stay in the only home they’ve ever known. They deserve nothing less." <ref>Waltens, Branden (June 18, 2020). [https://texasscorecard.com/federal/cornyn-embraces-amnesty-after-supreme-court-ruling/ Cornyn embraces amnesty after supreme court ruling]. Retrieved March 10, 2021.</ref>

===2020 U.S. Senate election in Texas===
In the primary held on March 3, 2020, Cornyn polled 1,481,357 unofficial votes (76 percent) and defeated four intra-party opponents. In the Republican primary was a 2014 primary candidate, [[Dwayne Stovall]], school board member from Cleveland in Liberty County, who finished second in 2020 with 231,294 votes (12 percent). Stovall polled 10.7 percent against Cornyn in the earlier 2014 primary. Also in the Republican primary was [[Mark Yancey]], a largely unknown grass-roots candidate from [[Dallas]], who claimed to have been uncommitted to special interest groups and called himself a "Common Sense Republican".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://voteformark.com/meet-mark/|title=Meet Mark Yancey|date=December 27, 2019}}</ref> Yancey polled 118,362 votes (6.1 percent). Both Stovall and Yancey faced a herculean task because of Cornyn's high name recognition among voters.

The Democrat primary went to a July 2020 runoff between [[MJ Hegar|Mary "M.J." Hegar]], who polled 412,897 votes (22.3 percent) and veteran state Senator Royce West, an [[African-American]] from [[Houston, Texas|Houston]], who drew 269,028 (14.5 percent). Narrowly edged out of the Democratic runoff was the Hispanic activist Cristina Tzintzan Ramirez, who received 244,705 votes (13.2 percent). Hegar won the Democrat runoff.

Turnout in the Democrat Senate primary was 1,853,323 votes; all of the Republican Senate candidates received a total of 1,926,477 votes, or 73,000 more than the field of Democrat candidates.

Cornyn defeated [[Democrat]] challenger Hegar in the November 3rd general election by about ten points.<ref>[https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-elections/texas-senate-results Texas Senate Election Results 2020], NBC News, November 3, 2020.</ref>

==Senate career==
In 2021, Cornyn seemed skeptical of the second impeachment of President Donald Trump by the Democrat-controlled U.S. House, saying it would encourage Republicans to impeach former Democrat Presidents in the future.<ref>Mena, Bryan. [https://www.texastribune.org/2021/01/25/ted-cruz-john-cornyn-impeachment-trial-donald-trump/ Ted Cruz, John Cornyn come out against Donald Trump's second impeachment trial], ''Texas Tribune'', January 25, 2021.</ref> He also pointed out an article by law professor Alan Dershowitz which stated that Trump could not be tried because he is no longer in office.

Joe Biden's cognitive decline

2022-06-06T03:06:20Z

[[File:Biden 2013.jpg|thumbnail|201px|[[Joe Biden]] in 2013.]]
[[Joseph Biden|Joseph Robinette "Joe" Biden, Jr.]] (born November 20, 1942) is turning 80 in November 2022. He will be 82 years old by the end of the first term of his presidency, the oldest yet of any sitting U.S. president. Biden hasn't disclosed his medical history since 2008, when physicians found he had an irregular heartbeat.<ref>[https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/bidens-eye-fills-with-blood-during-cnn-climate-town-hall Biden's eye fills with blood during CNN climate town hall], Washington Examiner</ref> Biden has long been troubled by health issues.<ref>[https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaigns/surgeon-who-operated-on-joe-biden-hes-better-now-than-before-brain-surgery Surgeon who operated on Biden: He's better now than before brain surgery], Washington Examiner, 2019</ref><ref>[https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/bidens-eye-fills-with-blood-during-cnn-climate-town-hall Biden's eye fills with blood during CNN climate town hall], Washington Examiner</ref> Biden has promised to release his medical records in the next several months.<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/as-joe-biden-proves-a-durable-candidate-opponents-delicately-raise-his-age/2019/09/13/f64eb484-d633-11e9-9610-fb56c5522e1c_story.html?noredirect=on As Joe Biden proves a durable candidate, opponents delicately raise his age], Washington Post</ref> (See also: [[Biden's age]])

According to the ''British Medical Journal'', "The brain’s capacity for memory, reasoning and comprehension skills (cognitive function) can start to deteriorate from age 45, finds research published on bmj.com today."<ref>[https://www.bmj.com/press-releases/2012/01/05/cognitive-decline-can-begin-early-age-45-warn-experts Cognitive decline can begin as early as age 45, warn experts], British Medical Journal press release</ref>

According to [[Politico]]:
{{Cquote|The [[New York Times]], the [[Washington Post]], Politico, [[CNN]], the Atlantic, the [[Associated Press]], Slate and just about every other.. outlet you can name has crossed the ageism line to ask the “too old” question in recent articles about Joe Biden, age 76, often in the headline itself.

...after tallying Biden’s repeated stumbles, miscues and mental lapses, journalists tend to retreat from calling Biden too infirm to run the White House. The greater press taboo, it seems, isn’t asking the question about Biden but answering it.<ref>[https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2019/08/02/joe-biden-age-media-227499 Is Joe Biden Too Old?]</ref>}}

Matthew Walther, a national correspondent for ''The Week'', wrote about Biden's age:
{{Cquote|These days, Biden is confused about everything and everyone virtually all the time... He routinely says things that are absolute gibberish... These are not ordinary slips of the tongue. They are signs of cognitive decline that will be familiar to anyone who, like me, spends a good deal of time in the company of people who are roughly Biden's age."<ref>[https://theweek.com/articles/858498/what-take-democratic-establishment-abandon-biden What will it take for the Democratic establishment to abandon Biden?] by Matthew Walther, The Week</ref>}}

The columnist Michael Goodwin wrote about Biden's performance during the [[Democrat]]s’ third presidential primary debate: "Nearly all his efforts to make a point were swamped by a sudden change of direction mid-sentence, and then another change a few words later as a random thought popped into his head and out his mouth. None of his rivals needed to interrupt him — he did it to himself."<ref>[https://nypost.com/2019/09/13/goodwin-trump-the-real-winner-as-biden-again-proves-hes-not-cut-out-to-be-nominee/ Goodwin: Trump the real winner as Biden again proves he’s not cut out to be nominee ], ''New York Post''</ref>

After Biden's poor performance in Iowa, a Democratic county chair told ''The New York Times'', "He’s pressing against Father Time, who is a very tough competitor."<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/09/us/politics/biden-iowa-2020.html Can Anyone Catch Joe Biden?] by Lisa Lerer, Sydney Ember and Reid J.

The ''New York Times'' stated:

===Cognitive decline===
[[File:Biden dementia.png|right|300px|thumb|]]
This really happened in August 2020, verbatim:
{{quotebox|'''Interviewer:''' Have you taken a cognitive.... 
'''Biden:''' No I haven't taken the test. Why the hell would I take a test? C'mon, man....That's like saying you, you know, before you got in this program if you take a test were you're taking cocaine or not. What do you think? Huh? Are you a junkie? (laughs) 
'''Interviewer:''' What do you say to President Trump who brags about his test and makes your mental state an issue for voters? 
'''Biden:''' (laughs) Well, if he can't figure out the difference between an elephant and a lion, I don't know what the hell he's talking about. Did you watch that? Look, c'mon, man....I know you're trying to goad me. But I mean, I'm so forward-looking to have an opportunity to sit with the President, or stand with the President, and debates. There can be plenty of time. And by the way, as I joke with him, you know, I shouldn't say it, I'm going to say something, I don't, I probably shouldn't say. Anyway, I am, uh, I am very willing to let the American public judge my physical mental phyl...my physical as well as my mental fil... fitness.<ref>https://youtu.be/Woeu5qCqY9k</ref>}}

According to Biden at a speech in [[Michigan]] on September 9, 2020, Trump somehow caused a rise in the cost of "prescription jugs".<ref>Two references:

'''Incels''' (derived from the term "involuntarily celibate") are people, generally though not always [[men]], who are frustrated at the fact that they are systematically denied the opportunity for physical intimacy.

'''Daniel Reed Crenshaw''', known as '''Dan Crenshaw''' (born March 14, 1984), is the [[Moderate Republican]] [[U.S. Representative]] for [[Texas]]' 2nd congressional district seat, based in his native [[Houston, Texas|Houston]] metro area, and a former lieutenant commander in the [[United States Navy]] SEALS and a national security authority, He holds the seat vacated by the more conservative [[Republican Party|Republican]] Ted Poe, who retired.<ref name=hchronicle>{{cite web|url=https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/politics/texas/article/Is-Houston-s-Dan-Crenshaw-the-secret-weapon-for-12943989.php|title=Is Houston's Dan Crenshaw the secret weapon for GOP with Millenials?|publisher='The Houston Chronicle''|date=May 25, 2018|author=Jeremy Wallace|accessdate=May 26, 2018}}</ref>

==Military life==
Crenshaw lived in various parts of the world, including [[Ecuador]] and [[Colombia]], because his father, Jim Crenshaw, was employed in the Texas [[oil]] and [[natural gas]] industry. He graduated in 2006 from Tufts University in Medford, [[Massachusetts]], at which he obtained his Navy officer commission through the Reserve Officer Training Corps. He reported for SEAL training in Coronado, [[California]], where a few months later he met his future wife, the former Tara Blake. After successful SEAL training, Crenshaw deployed to [[Fallujah]], [[Iraq]], for the first of five overseas deployments. On his third deployment in 2012, six months into combat, he was struck by a blast during a mission in Helmand Province, [[Afghanistan]]. He was evacuated and awoke from a medically-induced coma to learn that his right eye over which he since had to wear a black eyepatch had been destroyed, and his remaining left eye was badly damaged. Doctors said that they did not believe he would ever see again. Tara, who comes from a career Navy family, prayed repeatedly that [[God]] would restore your young husband's sight. After several difficult surgeries, he regained sight in his left eye, which was considered a medical miracle. He was then deployed twice more to the [[Middle East]] in 2014 and [[South Korea]] in 2016,. when he was medically retired from the SEALS.<ref name=aboutdan>{{cite web|url=https://crenshawforcongress.com/about/|title=About Dan|publisher=Crenshawforcongress.com|accessdate=May 26, 2018}}</ref>

Crenshaw won two [[Bronze Star]]s (one with Valor), the [[Purple Heart]], and the Navy Commendation Medal with Valor. In September 2017, he completed his Master in Public Administration degree from [[Harvard University]]'s Kennedy School of Government in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Soon he was back in Houston and volunteered in the Katy area to help victims of Hurricane Harvey. He saw Texan grit and resilience emerge from the terrible losses that his neighbors sustained.<ref name=aboutdan/>

==Elections==
In the Republican primary for House District 2 on March 6, Crenshaw trailed veteran legislator Kevin Roberts by a significant margin. Roberts had said that Crenshaw lacked "real world experience", with his background being military; However Crenshaw turned the tables in the May 22 runoff contest with a large victory for his party's nomination. Crenshaw received 20,322 votes (69.9 percent) to Roberts' 6,263 (30.1 percent).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://enrpages.sos.state.tx.us/public/may22_326_state.htm?x=0&y=63&id=178|title=Election Returns (Republican Runoff)|date=May 22, 2018|publisher=Texas Secretary of State|accessdate=May 26, 2018}}</ref>Crenshaw said that his runoff victory occurred because "if anybody had done any less work, went to bed a little earlier, we wouldn't be here."<ref name=hchronicle/> Crenshaw carried important endorsements too, including [[U.S. Senator]] [[Tom Cotton]] of Arkansas, who also came to [[Washington, D.C.]], from a military background. [[Michael Reagan]], adopted son of [[U.S. President]] [[Ronald W. Reagan]], also endorsed Crenshaw.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/CrenshawforCongress/|title=Dan Crenshaw|publisher=[[Facebook]]|accessdate=May 26, 2018}}</ref>

Crenshaw attributed his strength in part to the support of younger voters in their twenties and thirties. Conservative [[radio]] host Michael Berry of Houston said that Crenshaw has star power because of his personal story, but he is perceived as a cerebral guy who oozes authenticity. Berry said that the GOP needs an authentic, young conservative voice with real-world experience and not just another suit who was a college student body president. Crenshaw was for a time the youngest member of the Texas House delegation. He also speaks [[Spanish]].<ref name=hchronicle/>.

In the November 6, 2018, [[general election]], he defeated the [[Democrat]] Todd Litton, an [[attorney]], 138,502 votes (53 percent) to 118,570 (45.4 percent). Another 2,363 votes (.9 percent) went to the [[Libertarian]] Patrick Gunnels<ref>{{cite web|url=https://enrpages.sos.state.tx.us/public/nov06_331_state.htm?x=0&y=0&id=545|title=Election Returns|date=November 6, 2018|publisher=Texas Secretary of State|accessdate=November 7, 2018}}</ref>.

On the weekend before the general election, [[NBC]]'s ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' aired an attack on "unusually looking" Republican candidates. Liberal comedian Pete Davidson placed on the screen the photo of the one-eyed Crenshaw amid much laughter. Davidson said in his remarks that Crenshaw had lost the eye in war. Crenshaw, who did not see the live broadcast, said any apology that might come from ''Saturday Night Live'' would be insincere and therefore unacceptable. Instead, he urged the program to donate $1 million to veterans' causes.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://people.com/tv/republican-candidate-veteran-dan-crenshaw-pete-davidson-apology-joke-kenan-thompson-reacts/|title=Veteran Dan Crenshaw Says Pete Davidson Shouldn't Apologize for Joke — But SNL Costar Disagrees|publisher=People.com|date=November 5, 2018|author=Jodi Guglielmi|accessdate=November 6, 2018}}</ref> Then on the Saturday after his election to Congress, Crenshaw accepted an invitation from Pete Davidson to appear on ''Saturday Night Live'' to roast the comedian. On the program, Crenshaw repeated his call that Americans respect military veterans: "When you say ‘never forget,’ you are implying that as an American you are in it with them, not separated by a barrier between civilians and veterans. ... Never forget those we lost in war, and never forget those we lost on [[9/11]], like Pete's father.”<ref>{{cite web|url=https://ew.com/tv/2018/11/11/snl-pete-davidson-dan-crenshaw/|title=SNL brings on wounded veteran politician to get revenge on Pete Davidson|publisher=Ew.com|date=November 11, 2018}}</ref>

Despite Crenshaw's increasing liberal policy positions, Crenshaw ran unopposed in the Republican congressional primary on March 3, 2020. Crenshaw was reelected in the 2020 general election by defeating Democratic nominee Sima Ladjevardian with 55.61% of the vote to Ladjevardian's 42.79%.<ref>[https://results.texas-election.com/contestdetails?officeID=2010&officeName=U.%20S.%20REPRESENTATIVE%20DISTRICT%202&officeType=FEDERAL%20OFFICES&from=race Texas Election Results, Congressional District #2], Texas Secretary of State, November 3, 2020.

Liberal comedian Pete Davidson placed on the screen the photo of the one-eyed Crenshaw amid much laughter. Davidson said in his remarks that Crenshaw had lost the eye in war. Crenshaw, who did not see the live broadcast, said any apology that might come from ''Saturday Night Live'' would be insincere and therefore unacceptable. Instead, he urged the program to donate $1 million to veterans' causes.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://people.com/tv/republican-candidate-veteran-dan-crenshaw-pete-davidson-apology-joke-kenan-thompson-reacts/|title=Veteran Dan Crenshaw Says Pete Davidson Shouldn't Apologize for Joke — But SNL Costar Disagrees|publisher=People.com|date=November 5, 2018|author=Jodi Guglielmi|accessdate=November 6, 2018}}</ref> Then on the Saturday after his election to Congress, Crenshaw accepted an invitation from Pete Davidson to appear on ''Saturday Night Live'' to roast the comedian. On the program, Crenshaw repeated his call that Americans respect military veterans: "When you say ‘never forget,’ you are implying that as an American you are in it with them, not separated by a barrier between civilians and veterans. ... Never forget those we lost in war, and never forget those we lost on [[9/11]], like Pete's father.”<ref>{{cite web|url=https://ew.com/tv/2018/11/11/snl-pete-davidson-dan-crenshaw/|title=SNL brings on wounded veteran politician to get revenge on Pete Davidson|publisher=Ew.com|date=November 11, 2018}}</ref>

==Possible 2024 Presidential Campaign==
DeSantis is seen by many mainstream conservatives as a potential candidate for the [[United States presidential election, 2024|2024 presidential election]]. This has allegedly led to behind-the-scenes tensions between him and [[President Trump]], though this is probably just a claim fueled by the MSM in an effort to drive division between the two. Some have stated that DeSantis would be the [[Establishment]] choice for 2024, as he poses less of a threat to the system than President Trump, and his governance as president would likely be that of another generic Republican.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrFzdHbvCpw</ref>

In November 2021, former Trump campaign advisor and [[lobbyist]] [[Roger Stone]] publicly accused DeSantis of political posturing to set up a possible run in 2024, and threatened to sabotage DeSantis' gubernatorial re-election campaign by running as a third-party candidate for Florida governor unless DeSantis pledged not to run against Trump.<ref>https://www.businessinsider.com/roger-stone-run-governor-desantis-pledges-not-to-run-president-2021-11</ref><ref>https://t.me/RogerStoneJr/1470</ref> DeSantis supposedly privately mocking Stone's status as a convicted felon, despite evidence that Stone's prosecution was the result of a [[Deep State]] smear campaign and the fact that he had been pardoned by Trump. Those remarks were supposedly made behind closed doors, as DeSantis probably knew that making them public would potentially end his political career. Stone in turn responded by demanding that DeSantis apologize for those remarks.<ref>https://www.politico.com/newsletters/florida-playbook/2021/11/10/stone-desantis-owes-me-an-apology-495042</ref> As of January 2022, DeSantis had not issued such an apology. Stone also insulted DeSantis, calling him a "Yale Harvard fat boy" who "can't get out of his own way" and slanderously accused DeSantis having an affair with former [[Newsmax]] reporter Emerald Robinson while he had been out of the public eye, despite the fact that DeSantis had been helping his wife Casey during her struggle with breast cancer during that time.<ref>https://www.orlandoweekly.com/news/roger-stone-calls-ron-desantis-yale-harvard-fat-boy-after-reports-of-rift-between-florida-gov-donald-trump-30657050</ref>

In January 2022, more rumors of tensions between Trump and DeSantis were spread after Trump called Republican politicians "gutless" for refusing to reveal whether or not they received a vaccine booster, a remark many perceived to be directed at DeSantis<ref>https://www.cnbc.com/2022/01/12/trump-calls-politicians-who-refuse-to-say-they-received-covid-boosters-gutless.html</ref>.

On May 9, 2022, as part of DeSantis' education agenda, DeSantis signed a bill, HB 395, into law which designates November 7th as "Victims of Communism Day",<ref>[https://www.myfloridahouse.gov/Sections/Bills/billsdetail.aspx?BillId=73664 CS/HB 395 - "Victims of Communism Day"] ''www.myfloridahouse.gov''.

==Possible 2024 Presidential Campaign==
DeSantis is seen by many mainstream conservatives as a potential candidate for the [[United States presidential election, 2024|2024 presidential election]]. This has allegedly led to behind-the-scenes tensions between him and [[President Trump]], though this is probably just a claim fueled by the MSM in an effort to drive division between the two. Some have stated that DeSantis would be the [[Establishment]] choice for 2024, as he poses less of a threat to the system than President Trump, and his governance as president would likely be that of another generic Republican.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrFzdHbvCpw</ref>

In November 2021, former Trump campaign advisor and [[lobbyist]] [[Roger Stone]] publicly accused DeSantis of political posturing to set up a possible run in 2024, and threatened to sabotage DeSantis' gubernatorial re-election campaign by running as a third-party candidate for Florida governor unless DeSantis pledged not to run against Trump.<ref>https://www.businessinsider.com/roger-stone-run-governor-desantis-pledges-not-to-run-president-2021-11</ref><ref>https://t.me/RogerStoneJr/1470</ref> DeSantis supposedly privately mocking Stone's status as a convicted felon, despite evidence that Stone's prosecution was the result of a [[Deep State]] smear campaign and the fact that he had been pardoned by Trump. Those remarks were supposedly made behind closed doors, as DeSantis probably knew that making them public would potentially end his political career. Stone in turn responded by demanding that DeSantis apologize for those remarks.<ref>https://www.politico.com/newsletters/florida-playbook/2021/11/10/stone-desantis-owes-me-an-apology-495042</ref> As of January 2022, DeSantis had not issued such an apology. Stone also insulted DeSantis, calling him a "Yale Harvard fat boy" who "can't get out of his own way" and slanderously accused DeSantis having an affair with former [[Newsmax]] reporter Emerald Robinson while he had been out of the public eye, despite the fact that DeSantis had been helping his wife Casey during her struggle with breast cancer during that time.<ref>https://www.orlandoweekly.com/news/roger-stone-calls-ron-desantis-yale-harvard-fat-boy-after-reports-of-rift-between-florida-gov-donald-trump-30657050</ref>

In January 2022, more rumors of tensions between Trump and DeSantis were spread after Trump called Republican politicians "gutless" for refusing to reveal whether or not they received a vaccine booster, a remark many perceived to be directed at DeSantis<ref>https://www.cnbc.com/2022/01/12/trump-calls-politicians-who-refuse-to-say-they-received-covid-boosters-gutless.html</ref>. DeSantis also stated that one of his "biggest regrets" as governor was not speaking up more against Trump's early COVID lockdown policies, which were strongly influenced by the advice of people like Anthony Fauci.<ref>https://www.marketwatch.com/story/desantis-viewed-as-target-of-trump-remark-about-gutless-politicians-not-admitting-to-receiving-booster-shots-01642031351][https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1481355199121960971</ref><ref>https://www.forbes.com/sites/nicholasreimann/2022/01/14/desantis-says-he-regrets-not-opposing-trump-administrations-lockdown-calls-as-tensions-grow-with-ex-president/?sh=c8d7c2a46c20]</ref><ref>https://ruthlesspodcast.com/episodes/ron-desantis-gets-ruthless</ref>

'''Nina Jankowicz''' (born 1988–1989) is an American author and propagandist for the [[Biden junta]].<ref>[https://thenationalpulse.com/2022/04/28/ministry-of-truth-joe-bidens-new-disinformation-board-director-is-a-ukrainian-govt-advisor-who-was-pleased-by-the-censorship-of-hunter-bidens-hard-drive/ Ministry of Truth: Joe Biden’s New ‘Disinformation Board’ Director is a Ukrainian Govt Advisor Who Was ‘Pleased’ By The Censorship Of Hunter Biden’s Hard Drive.] Natalie Winters and Raheem Kassam, ''National Pulse'', April 28, 2022.</ref>

==Background and career==
On 27 April 2022, Jankowicz was appointed as the Executive Director of the [[Disinformation Governance Board]] for the [[Department of Homeland Security]], a Biden administration "Ministry of Truth"-esque board as written in [[George Orwell]]'s ''[[1984]]''.<ref>Cacciatore, Luca (27 April 2022).

Retrieved April 30, 2022.</ref>

This appointment was viewed as hypocritical by the right, as Jakowicz is a purporter of disinformation herself. Jankowicz has falsely claimed that the [[Steele dossier]] was real, and dismissed [[Hunter Biden#FBI investigation|Hunter Biden’s laptop]] as a "Trump campaign product".<ref>Dunleavy, Jerry (28 April, 2022). [https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/bidens-disinformation-chief-is-trump-dossier-author-fan-and-hunter-laptop-doubter Biden ‘disinformation’ chief a Trump dossier author fan and Hunter Biden laptop doubter]. ''Washington Examiner''. Retrieved April 30, 2022.</ref> In addition, Jankowicz has often called on [[Facebook]] to censor right-wing media sources, such as [[Breitbart]]<ref>Pollak, Joel (29 April, 2022). [https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/2022/04/29/bidens-minister-of-truth-nina-jankowicz-called-for-facebook-to-censor-breitbart/ Biden’s ‘Minister of Truth’ Nina Jankowicz Called for Facebook to Censor Breitbart]. ''Breitbart News''. Retrieved April 30, 2022.</ref>. She had previously served as a disinformation fellow at the Wilson Center and former advisor to the corrupt government of [[Ukraine]].<ref>Carlson, Tucker (28 April, 2022).

Retrieved April 30, 2022.</ref>


In the late 2000s, Jankowicz created a band with her friend Lauren Fairweather called “The Moaning Myrtles", where they sang songs in intricate detail about dead child sex with the fictional character Harry Potter and secretly catching “peep shows” in bathrooms.<ref>Pollak, Joel (29 April, 2022).

===Trump-Russia===
{{See also|Ukrainian collusion}}
The Trump-Russia collusion hoax was actually a Clinton-Ukraine disinformation operation. The effort to portray an unholy alliance between [[Donald Trump]] and Russia in American media was the product of an unholy alliance between the government of [[Ukraine]] and the [[Democratic National Committee]] (DNC).<ref>[https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/440730-how-the-obama-white-house-engaged-ukraine-to-give-russia-collusion/ How the Obama White House engaged Ukraine to give Russia collusion narrative an early boost], John Solomon, ''The Hill'', 04/25/19 </ref> Ukrainian intelligence services and Ukrainian hackers colluded with the DNC and [[2016 Clinton campaign]] to create a false narrative of "foreign interference" by Russia in American elections, when in fact [[Democrat]] operatives colluded with Ukrainian hackers and intelligence services to target and demonize their number one enemy, Russia, and attempt to influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election in favor of Ukraine's preferred candidate.

According to George Eliason,<ref>https://creativedestructionmedia.com/analysis/2022/04/30/is-nina-jankowicz-still-working-for-ukraine/</ref> Jankowicz was the strategic communications expert for the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Relations (MFA) spokesperson beginning in 2015 after the U.S.-backed [[Maidan coup]].

Jankowicz worked with the Ministry of Information Policy (MIP) [[Kristina Dobrovolska]] who in turn managed the [[InformNapalm]] hacking and open-source intelligence information operation (OSINT-IO) combined teams consisting of [[Shaltai Boltai]] (of DNC hacking fame according to the [[Mueller report]]), RUH8 which worked under the umbrella of Ukraine Cyber Alliance, and Cyber Hunta.

These are the groups that physically created the [[Manafort]] [[black ledger]],<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/12/world/europe/ukraine-paul-manafort.html Ukraine Court Rules Manafort Disclosure Caused 'Meddling' in U.S. Election], ''[[The New York Times]]'', December 12, 2018. National Anti-Corruption Bureau Director '''[[Artem Sytnyk]]''' and legislator '''[[Serhiy Leshchenko]]''' broke the law by revealing [[Manafort]]'s name. The disclosure “led to interference in the electoral processes of the [[United States]] in 2016 and harmed the interests of Ukraine as a state,” the court said. https://www.theepochtimes.com/ties-to-ukrainian-national-a-unifying-theme-in-early-attacks-on-trump_2872609.html In October 2019, an audiotape of Sytnyk was released discussing his efforts to help Hillary during the 2016 election. He and Leschenko were responsible for publishing the Black Ledger which forced Paul Manafort to resign from Trump’s campaign. https://www.dailywire.com/news/bombshell-audio-email-evidence-shows-dnc-colluded-with-ukraine-to-boost-hillary-by-harming-trump-report-says</ref> ''[[Steele Dossier]]'', DNC hacks, [[Trump-Russia]] narrative, and so on.

Jankowicz and Ukrainian MIP manager Kristina Dobrovolska, who was also an Obama-Biden State Department go-between with the Ukrainian government, handled all the so-called Intel and information coming out of Ukraine to destroy the [[2016 Trump campaign]] and followed through by working to destroy the Trump presidency after.

I would like to upload the picture at https://www.canadianatheists.ca/profile/randolf-richardson.png to the new article I created at https://www.conservapedia.com/Randolf_Richardson so that I can make it match the format of the article about David Silverman at https://www.conservapedia.com/David_Silverman (I want to add more to this article as I dig up more dirt about him because he was very rude about Jesus to one of my friends who was in tears, so his bad deeds needs to be exposed once I have evidence that can be checked and verified).

:::Thank you DavidB4! Just curious though, how come there is extraneous space in the picture? I just added the file to the page about [[Jenean Hampton]], and due to the function set for images in officeholder templates, the image appears small and right of center. --[[User:Liberaltears|Liberaltears]]'''''[[User talk:Liberaltears|Your reminder that Biden committed quid pro joe]]''''' 14:57, 6 April 2020 (EDT)
::::That's a good question. It sounds like a problem we would need to troubleshoot in the template code. You could try inserting other images just to test, and see if they have the same issue. I suppose it is possible that a different image shape could work around this problem. --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 18:45, 7 April 2020 (EDT)

:::::I don't think it's the template code that's the problem. Because the image you uploaded had empty space on both the left and the right and there was more space on the left, it appears (on the [[Jenean Hampton|content page]] in the template) to be small and right of center. Do you suppose you can re-upload the image without the extraneous space? I was not initially aware that there was the empty space in the original file in the source linked.
:::::Also, out of topic, but is the image in public domain? It wasn't specified in the website, and it says "Official Portrait" and looks like it's most likely a government picture. In addition, the image was apparently used [https://www.wdrb.com/bevin-and-hampton---official-portraits-ky-gov-jpg/image_1e9418a4-8642-11e9-946a-0fca1d07d828.html here] and the file was attributed to ky.gov, which would be a government website. Thank you DavidB4! --[[User:Liberaltears|Liberaltears]]'''''[[User talk:Liberaltears|Your reminder that Biden committed quid pro joe]]''''' 19:00, 7 April 2020 (EDT)

::::::Oh wow. I should have noticed that blank space--thanks for pointing it out! I think I've fixed it. In regard to licensing, images made by the U.S. federal government are in the public domain. However, individual states and towns sometimes make copyright claims on their materials. Whether Kentucky does that I do not know, but without researching KY law, I didn't dare list it as PD. If you find out that they do release to the PD, feel free to update it.

:Sorry for the long wait.
:[[Beetroot]] is a near duplicate of [[Beet]], which already has an image. I don't know if we should merge these pages, or not. I know your page is speaking specifically about the root, rather than the plant overall. Additionally, beet greens are another form of food. Since both of these articles are so small, though, I tend to favor merging them. What do you think?

==Article: Patrick Connick==
The article won't come up; its says "Create the page "Patrick Connick" on this wiki!", but the page has already been created. Please check on this. [[User:BHathorn|BHathorn]] ([[User talk:BHathorn|talk]]) 15:42, 15 April 2020 (EDT)

:I'm not exactly sure what the issue is, but here's a speculation. Most of the time, when a CP page is created, the URL for it is just conservapedia.com/(article_title), with the spaces in the title replaced with underscores, non-alphanumerical symbols replaced with etc. etc. For instance, the URL for the CP page [[Democrat Party]] is conservapedia.com/Democrat_Party, the URL for the CP page [[Vladimir Putin]] is conservapedia.com/Vladimir_Putin, etc. However, for the Patrick Connick content page, the URL is conservapedia.com/Patrick_Connick%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B, not conservapedia.com/Patrick_Connick. --[[User:Liberaltears|Liberaltears]]'''''[[User talk:Liberaltears|Your reminder that Biden committed quid pro joe]]''''' 15:58, 15 April 2020 (EDT)

::Something else interesting: I entered "Patrick_Connick%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B" into the search, but the article did not pop up, and no results popped up either. --[[User:Liberaltears|Liberaltears]]'''''[[User talk:Liberaltears|Your reminder that Biden committed quid pro joe]]''''' 16:02, 15 April 2020 (EDT)

Correct, the article name was literally: "Patrick_Connick%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B". This can happen when you copy-and-paste text. There are special, invisible characters on some pages which will be unintentionally copied along with the text you are trying to get (in this case, the name "Patrick Connick"). They cannot show as invisible in a URL though, so they are encoded with "%" and the two-digit character ID. In this case, there were 6 special characters. I have removed these special characters from the page name, so it should work correctly now. For best results in the future, try to type in the text manually, rather than copying it. --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 16:47, 15 April 2020 (EDT)

:If the article name was "Patrick_Connick%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B", then how come no results show up when I enter it into the search bar? --[[User:Liberaltears|Liberaltears]]'''''[[User talk:Liberaltears|Your reminder that Biden committed quid pro joe]]''''' 17:02, 15 April 2020 (EDT)

::Technically, the article name contains the special characters themselves, not the encoded version of them. These are not [https://perishablepress.com/url-character-codes/ common special characters] I can look up easily, but I assume they are blank characters. So if you use a [https://www.url-encode-decode.com/ URI decoder], the decoded output of "Patrick_Connick%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B" will appear to be simply "Patrick_Connick". However, if you copy the output from that decoding into the CP search box, it will take you to the bad article name (which is now a redirect to the correct one). These characters are invisible, and the only way we can see them in this case is when they are encoded into the URL. If you want to find the page with this bad name, you need to search for the article name with those actual special characters after it, since the wiki software does not do URI encoding. I was trying to keep it simple, though, which is why I generalized by saying that the page name is "Patrick_Connick%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B" --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 18:18, 15 April 2020 (EDT)

:::Okay, thank you DavidB4! Unfortunately, I'm not an expert on the topic and the way such works, but your explanation does kind of help explain it. --[[User:Liberaltears|Liberaltears]]'''''[[User talk:Liberaltears|Your reminder that Biden committed quid pro joe]]''''' 18:25, 15 April 2020 (EDT)

::::You're welcome...I probably didn't do a great job explaining it, but web browsers use what is called "URI encoding," sometimes called "percent encoding". If you are interested, you might be able to find some materials on the topic, such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding this]. --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 18:51, 15 April 2020 (EDT)

Christian Flag

2022-02-12T14:49:53Z

Carsten: WIP

The '''Christian Flag''' is a flag designed as part of a wider [[Ecumenical Movement|ecumenical movement]] to represent [[Christianity]] and [[Christendom]].

==History==
The concept of a Christian flag was first thought of at the Brighton Chapel in Coney Island, New York on September 26, 1897, by Charles C. Overton. During a Sunday school lecture, Overton saw the [[Flag of the United States of America|Flag of the United States]] in the chapel and used the flag as inspiration, after which Overton asked the students what a flag representing Christianity should look like. In 1907, Overton and Ralph Diffendorfer, a clergyman, designed and began promoting the flag.<ref>[https://www.americanflags.com/blog/post/history-christian-flag The History of the Christian Flag]</ref>

==Design and symbolism==
The flag consists of a white field with a red Latin Cross charged on a blue canton. The red represents the blood of Christ, while the white field represents purity and peace, and the blue representing fidelity, faithfulness, and loyalty.

The flag is unique in the sense that the proportions of the flag, canton, and colours have no official specifications.

Garden of Eden

2022-02-11T02:25:05Z

Carsten:

[[Image:Hieronymus Bosch - The Garden of Earthly Delights.jpg|right|thumb|"The Earthly Paradise" (ca. 1490–95), representing the Garden of Eden; left panel of the triptych painting ''The Garden of Earthly Delights'' by Hieronymus Bosch.]]
The '''Garden of Eden''' (Hebrew: גַּן עֵדֶן ''`edhen''; "delight") was the dwelling place for the first two humans [[God]] created - [[Adam]] and [[Eve]] - according to the [[Bible|biblical]] book of [[Genesis]]. The Garden was a paradise of [[infinity|infinite]] happiness where [[Adam and Eve]] would never suffer any [[scarcity]], illness or death. However, Adam and Eve defied the will of God by eating the [[forbidden fruit]] (the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil) at the center of the Garden, and God cast them out of the Garden so that they would no longer live forever. Genesis says that a [[cherub]] ([[angel]]) with a flaming sword then guarded the Garden of Eden to prevent humans from returning.

The Garden of Eden has inspired great literature:
*[[Shakespeare]]'s [[Hamlet]], perhaps the greatest play ever, imitates the temptation and fall in the Garden of Eden.<ref>https://www.bartleby.com/essay/Hamlet-And-The-Garden-Of-Eden-FJEYNJFW9X6</ref>
*the famous novel and movie ''[[East of Eden]]'', by [[John Steinbeck]] and starring [[James Dean]], is named after the banishment of [[Cain]] eastward from the Garden of Eden.

==Description==
Genesis describes the Garden as being "in the east, in Eden" (Gen 2:8). In the Assyrian inscriptions ''idinu'' (Accadian: ''edin'') means "plain" and it is from this that the Biblical word is probably derived. The Garden is described as having "all kinds" of trees growing in it, and two are specifically named: the [[Tree of Life]], and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, the latter being in the center of the Garden (Gen 2:9). It was from this tree that Adam was told that he was forbidden to eat from (Gen 2:17). The vegetation was luxurious (Gen 2:9) and the fig tree indigenous (Gen 3:7), and where it was watered by four rivers which flowed from Eden:

:''And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.''
:''The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;''
:''And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.''
:''And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.''
:''And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.''
::(''Genesis 2:10-14; King James Version'')

Biblical scholars have determined the last two rivers mentioned to be the existing Tigris and Euphrates rivers, which have their headwaters in the Zagros Mountains of Iran; the other two - the Pison and Gihon rivers - were more problematic.

All kinds of animals, including cattle, beasts of the field and birds, were found there (Gen 2:19,20). Moreover, the climate was such that clothing was not needed for warmth. It is not surprising, therefore, that the plural of the word has the meaning "delights," and that Eden has been supposed to mean the land of delights, and that the word became a synonym for Paradise.

==Other Locations==
As with many passages in Genesis, there is debate among [[Christians]] whether or not the story of the Garden of Eden should be taken literally or metaphorically. If taken literally, there is debate over its location, whether in the area of eastern Turkey/northern Iran, in southern Iraq, or elsewhere in the world.

In [[Dante]]'s ''[[Divine Comedy]]'', the Garden of Eden (or Earthly Paradise) is situated at the top of the Mountain of [[Purgatory]] in the southern hemisphere, where we now know [[Antarctica]] to be. Those who have been through Purgatory pass through the tranquil garden before they enter [[Heaven]].

====Central Asia====
[[File:Edenmap2.png|right|200px|thumb|Claimed locations for the Garden of Eden in the Middle East]]
During his explorations to the [[South America]]n mainland [[Christopher Columbus]] made the assumption that the [[Orinoco River]] was fed by waters which came down from the Garden of Eden, despite his own thoughts that he had found the eastern coast of the Asian continent. The traditions of its location somewhere in central Asia are numerous and persistent, and naturalists have in the past pretty generally fixed upon the portion of Central Asia stretching east from the Himalayas - often referred to as the roof of the world and from which flow four great rivers: the Indus, the Tarim, the Sur Daria (Jaxartes), and the Ainu Daria (Oxus) - as the original cradle of mankind. Usually, explanations for the central Asia hypothesis involve a touch of racial superiority, i.e. mankind's ancestors were of Aryan stock. Professor S.H. Buchanan, a Biblical scholar during the late 19th century, was one of those believers, who put down in his work ''The World and the Book'':
:''“Thus everything invites us to place the Eden of the Semites (Aryans) in the mountains of Belurtag, at the point where this chain unites with the Himalaya, toward the Plateau of Pamir... We are conducted to the same point, according to Brunoff, by the most ancient and authentic texts of the Zend-Avesta. The Hindu traditions also contained in the Mahabbarata and the Puranas, converge to the same region. There is the true Meru (Ararat) (of the Hindus), the true Albordj (of the Persians), the true river Arvanda, from which all rivers take their source, according to Persian tradition. There, according to the opinions of almost all the populations of Asia, is the central point of the world, the umbilici, the gate of the universe. There is the Uttarakura; ‘the country of happiness,’ of which Magesthanes writes. There is, finally the point of common attachment of the primitive geography, both of the Semitic and the Indo-European races.”'' [http://www.israelect.com/reference/WillieMartin/The_Garden_of_Eden.htm]
The Jewish historian [[Flavius Josephus]] also hinted that the Garden of Eden had a central Asian location, having written down that the land was "watered by one river, which ran around the whole earth, and was parted into four parts, and Phison, which denotes a Multitude, running from India, makes its exit into the sea, and is by the Greeks called Ganges. Euphrates also, as well as Tigris, goes into the Red Sea... and Geon runs through Egypt, and denotes what arises from the East, which the Greeks call Nile." (''Antiquities of the Jews'', Book I:I:3.)

====North Pole====
Also as the 19th century ended Dr. William F. Warren created a theory which attempted to prove that Eden was located near the North Pole. What was in support of his theory was evidence in the fossil and geological records of several lands north of the Arctic Circle of a warm climate. However, as later discoveries were to prove, the North Pole was merely an [[Arctic Ocean|ocean]] overlaid with an icecap, the nearest land hundreds of miles away. [http://www.viewzone.com/edenpole.html]

====Mesopotamia and the Persian Gulf====
[[File:Adam h2.jpg|right|200px|thumb|The "Adam and Eve" seal (British Museum)]]
[[File:Dubai-2005 1117794540 dsc02266.jpg|right|200px|thumb|The "Tree of Life", Bahrain]]
Two theories locate Eden in the Euphrates valley. Of these the first place it near the head of the Persian Gulf where the Tigris and Euphrates rivers meet in the junction called the Shatt el-'Arab waterway, which once formed a point of conflict between Iraq and Iran. Recent authorities suggest that Gihon and Pishon are represented by the Karum and the Kerkhah rivers which come into the Shatt el-'Arab from the east. The most plausible objection to this theory is that the Biblical account represents all these branches as down stream from the main river, whereas this theory supposes that two of them at least are up stream. This objection has been ingeniously met by calling attention to the fact that 2,000 years before Christ the Persian Gulf extended up as far as Eridu, 100 miles above the present mouth of the river, and that the Tigris and the Euphrates then entered the head of the Gulf through separate channels, with the enormous amount of silt brought down by the streams during the centuries since havinf created the dry land which exists today. In consequence of the tides which extend up to the head of the Gulf, the current of all these streams would be turned up stream periodically, and so account for the Biblical statement. In this case the river (''nahar'') would be represented by the Persian Gulf itself, which was once called by the Babylonians ''nar marratum'', "the bitter river." This theory is further supported by the fact that according to the cuneiform inscriptions Eridu was reputed to have in its neighborhood a garden, "a holy place," in which there grew a sacred palm tree. This "tree of life" appears frequently upon the inscriptions with two guardian spirits standing on either side.

The other theory, postulated by Friedrich Delitzsch, places Eden just above the site of ancient Babylon, where the Tigris and Euphrates approach to within a short distance of one another and where the country is intersected by numerous irrigating streams which put off from the Euphrates and flow into the Tigris, whose level is here considerably lower than that of the Euphrates. Delitzsch assumed the Shatt el-Nil, which flows eastward into the Tigris, to be the Gihon, and the Pallacopas, flowing on the West side of the Euphrates through a region producing gold, to be the Pishon. The chief difficulties attending this theory pertain to the identification of the Pishon with the Pallacopas, and the location of Havilah on its banks. The difficulty in these theories is the identification of Cush ([[Ethiopia]]), later associated with the country on the horn of Africa, thus giving countenance to the belief of Josephus and many others that that river represented the Gihon.

In the island nation of [[Bahrain]] stands the Shajarat al-Hayah, the Tree of Life. A major tourist attraction in the smallest Arab country, this tree stands alone in the middle of a desert with no known source of water feeding it, and comparrisons to the tree of Eden have been made.

==David Rohl==
[[File:RohlsEden.jpg|right|260px|thumb|Location of the Garden of Eden, as proposed by David Rohl]]
British archaeologist and anthropologist David Rohl claimed to have found the precise location of the Garden of Eden after over a decade of studying ancient documents, including the Sumerian tablets held at the Museum of the Orient in Istanbul, Turkey. His conclusion is that the location conforms to an area northwest of Teheran, Iran, in a valley watered by a small river in which the locals call ''Adji Chay'' ("walled garden"); indeed, the entire valley is surrounded by mountains, with the dormant volcano Mt. Sahand sutuated on the southwest corner. On the northside of the valley rises ''Kusheh Daugh'' (mountain of Kush), which Rohl claims to be the source for the "land of Cush" (i.e. Ethiopia) of the Genesis account.

To help establish this belief, Rohl turned to an ancient source, the Sumerian cuneiform epic ''Enmerkar and the Lord of Aratta,'' which was written possibly 5,000 years ago by an emissary of the Sumerian priest-king of Uruk [http://etcsl.orinst.ox.ac.uk/section1/tr1823.htm]. Gold and lapus lazuli were needed to build a temple, and an emissary was dispatched to Aratta "on the plain of ''Edin''" - as the Sumerians referred to the area - to retrieve them. The two rivers scholars had a problem with - the Pison and Gihon - were identified with the Araxes and Uizhun rivers, which puts the headwaters of all four rivers into his Eden. Further, Rohl's equivalent to the Pishon - the Araxes - which the Bible identifies with gold, flows between ancient cold and lapus lazuli mines, and is known locally as the Golden River.

To strengthen his claim, Rohl identified the area to the east of his Eden valley as the "land of Nod", to which Cain fled to after he killed his brother Abel (Gen 4:1-16)[http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%204:1-16;]; the locals call it "Noqdi" today.

[[File:Kanye West.jpg|right|250px]]
'''Kanye West''' is an American entertainer and [[entrepreneur]], [[hip hop]] musician and record producer. He is one of the most successful and popular of recent times. His records have won nine [[Grammy]] awards. He converted to Christianity during his career.<ref>Woodson, Robert L. (November 27, 2019). [https://thehill.com/opinion/civil-rights/472091-kanye-west-a-welcomed-disruptive-voice Kanye West is a welcomed disruptive voice]. ''The Hill''. Retrieved November 27, 2019.</ref> In July 2020, West announced his candidacy of the [[2020 presidential election]].

West began writing [[poetry]] at the age of five.<ref>{{cite news|title=Kanye and His Mom Shared Special Bond|url=http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2007-11-13/news/0711130488_1_chicago-state-university-degree-from-auburn-university-kanye-west|work=[[Chicago Tribune]]|date=November 13, 2007|accessdate=}}</ref> West has been labeled [[illiterate]] by [[racist]] [[liberal]]s and [[Democrat]]s.<ref>https://youtu.be/Etvn37wekw8</ref> According to [[CNN]], West is an example of "what happens when negroes don't read"<ref>
https://www.thewrap.com/don-lemon-laughs-as-cnn-panel-mocks-kanye-west-as-token-negro-video/</ref> by a fellow black American on [[CNN]].

==2020 Presidential campaign==
West declared his candidacy for President on July 4, 2020. West is [[pro-life]], stating "[[Planned Parenthood]]'s have been placed inside cities by [[white supremacist]]s to do the devil's work." More black babies are [[aborted]] in New York than live Black births.<ref>https://www.lifenews.com/2018/12/21/more-african-american-babies-are-aborted-than-born-alive-in-new-york-city/</ref> West entered the race after Biden's "you ain't black" comment. West said,
{{quotebox|"that is a form of racism and [[white supremacy]] and white control, to say that all black people need to be Democrat, and to assume that me running is me splitting the vote. All of that information is being charged up on [[social media]] platforms by Democrats. And Democrats used to tell me the same. Democrats have threatened me. The reason why this is, the first day I registered to vote is because I was scared. I was told that if I voted on Trump, my music career would be over. I was threatened into being in one party. I was threatened as a celebrity into being in one party. I was threatened as a black man into the [[Democratic Party]]. And that's what the Democrats are doing emotionally to my
people, threatening them to the point where this [[white]] man can tell a black man, 'if you don't vote for me you're not black.'"<ref>https://www.forbes.com/sites/randalllane/2020/07/08/kanye-west-says-hes-done-with-trump-opens-up-about-white-house-bid-damaging-biden-and-everything-in-between/#6ef37cf147aa</ref>}}

West was supported by [[Elon Musk]]. The racist Democrat machine of [[Michigan]] stole all Kanye West votes in the [[2020 presidential election]] and switched the votes to Democrat segregationist [[Joe Biden]].<ref>https://youtu.be/eGx4SXwxlGI</ref>

===Democrat voter suppression and disenfranchisement===
As Kanye West’s presidential campaign raced to get on the ballot before deadlines, Democrat lawyer [[Marc Elias]] was fighting to disenfranchise voters, specifically targeting [[voter suppression]] of Black voters. Elias involvement affirms the belief that Democrats are concerned that having Kanye West on the ballot, especially in swing states, could siphon Black votes away from Democratic nominee Joe Biden.<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/02/former-lawyer-for-hillary-clinton-kamala-harris-is-working-to-push-kanye-off-the-ballot/</ref> West made ballot status in Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Vermont, Tennessee, Minnesota, Idaho, and Iowa.

Elias, chair of [[Perkins Coie]]’s Political Law Group, hired [[FusionGPS]] to write bogus information on the [[2016 Trump campaign]] and pass it off to the FBI in an effort rig the outcome and destroy American democracy. Elias now works for Kamala Harris and previously [[John Kerry]]. Now Elias is the counsel in a suit to keep Kanye West off the ballot in [[Virginia]]. The suit asked for immediate court intervention as deadlines approach for printing and mailing absentee ballots.

Secretary of State Frank LaRose under the guidance of Ohio GOP Governor [[Mike DeWine]] fought hard to keep Kanye off ballot. On a technicality, Kanye was denied ballot access. This decision would face additional legal scrutiny. LaRose fought against Kanye's inclusion at the [[Ohio]] Supreme Court, and won. <ref>[https://www.news5cleveland.com/news/election-2020/ohio-supreme-court-ruling-keeps-kanye-west-off-ohio-presidential-ballot Ohio Supreme Court ruling keeps Kanye West off Ohio presidential ballot, News 5, September 10, 2020]</ref>

==''Jesus is King''==
In November 2019 West performed a surprise concert of his album ''Jesus is King'' for 200 male inmates at Harris County jail in [[Houston]], [[Texas]]. West later performed for a smaller crowd of female inmates. According to [[CNN]]. the concert left many inmates in tears, and West said his purpose was “a mission, not a show.” Texas governor [[Greg Abbott]] praised West's actions saying in a [[tweet]], “What @kanyewest does to inspire the incarcerated is transformative. Saving one soul at a time.”<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2019/11/16/abbott-texas-kanye-jail/?utm_source=&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=10953</ref>

Kanye West says that parents need to protect their children from being ‘indoctrinated’ into embracing lives of vapid meaninglessness by the media and the entertainment industry. Speaking to an audience at [[Joel Osteen]]’s church in [[Houston]] West pointed out that many famous people are in service to Satan and not God because they value money and power above all else.
:“You start to feel like Satan is the most powerful and you start to feel that if you service God in life it means you will not prosper and the only way to prosper is in service to fame,” said Kanye. ...Satan stole all the best producers. Satan stole all the best musicians. Satan stole all the best designers. Hollywood puts images and symbolism in movies and tv shows to indoctrinate your kids into lives of emptiness, service to self, and feeding the eye..."

Kanye reassured the audience that a shift was happening and that his conversion to Christianity is a major part of that shift. “Jesus has won the victory because now the greatest artist that [[God]] has ever created is working for him…All of that arrogance and confidence and cockiness y’all seen me use before, God is now using for Him.” West turned his attention to [[Cultural Marxism|cultural degeneracy]], telling the crowd; “We have our own daughters and we’re still rapping about trying to hook up with somebody’s daughter.” He went on to urge parents about the necessity of “protecting your kids from the indoctrination of the media, the thousands of thousands of images that are fed to children by the age of 6 or 7.”<ref>https://summit.news/2019/11/18/kanye-protect-your-kids-from-being-indoctrinated-by-hollywood-the-media/</ref>

In a publicly televised [[Oval Office]] meeting with [[President Trump]], Kanye proposed moving Adidas shoe manufacturers from overseas to the South Side of [[Chicago]] to create jobs and alleviate minority [[unemployment]]. [[Racist]] liberals and [[Democrat]]s called West mentally ill, a minstrel show, and an illiterate token Negro for challenging [[globalism]]. He continued to express support for Trump.<ref>Gage, John (October 24, 2019).

Prior to President Trump's election, in 2015 Kanye West announced that he would be running for [[President of the United States of America]] in 2020. Many people have joked about his announcement, however, 2016 [[Republican]] front-runner [[Donald Trump]] responded positively to the announcement saying, "He's actually a different kind of a person than people think, he's a nice guy. I hope to run against him some day."

== Personal life ==
Kanye West's mother Donda, a former chair of the English department at Chicago State University who acted as Kanye's manager, died Nov 10, 2007 following a cosmetic surgery procedure. She was 58 years old.<ref>http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20159597,00.html</ref> West is engaged to be married to Alexis Phifer.<ref>http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20037945,00.html</ref> His father, Ray West, a [[sociology]] professor and former member of the [[Black Panther Party]] <ref>http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/5241</ref><ref>[http://www.contactmusic.com/new/xmlfeed.nsf/mndwebpages/kanyes%20dad%20lashes%20out%20at%20sons%20lyrics_27_01_2006]</ref>

In 2016 West was hospitalized after an emotional break, which led him to cancel a then-ongoing tour. After the incident he began to study Christianity, finally announcing his conversion in 2019. In October 2019 he released [[Jesus Is King (album)|''Jesus Is King'']], an album of religious material. Despite secular media basically criticizing the album, it set ''Billboard'' records in topping 22 different charts, holding down all top 10 spots on two charts (actually holding down the #11 spot as well on the Hot Gospel Songs chart), and having all 11 songs debut on the Hot 100 chart. West required those working on the album to practice a sexually-pure lifestyle.<ref>Mendez, Marisa (October 24, 2019).

== Criticism==
Kanye attracted considerable media attention in September 2005, when he appeared on a television fundraiser for [[Hurricane Katrina]] victims and famously stated "[[George W. Bush|George Bush]] doesn't care about black people." He later said he made that statement because of a "welfare mentality."<ref>Nelson, Steven (October 11, 2018).

''Washington Examiner''. Retrieved October 11, 2018.</ref>

West was again the subject of controversy at the 2009 [[MTV]] Video Music Awards, where he took the microphone from pop music singer [[Taylor Swift]] while she was about to give an acceptance speech and said that she did not deserve it as much as [[Beyonce Knowles]]. This upset the then 19 year old Swift and caused backlash against West from many notable celebrities and President [[Barack Hussein Obama]]. It was also speculated that this interaction was spurred by anti-white [[racism]], as previously demonstrated in his 2005 Bush comment.

He also created a stir when he posed for the cover of the February 2006 ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' magazine portraying [[Jesus Christ]], wearing a crown of thorns on his head with blood running down his face.<ref>http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11009059/</ref>

Desmond Tutu

2022-01-17T08:59:39Z

Carsten:

Archbishop '''Desmond Tutu''' was born in 1931 and was a [[South Africa]]n cleric and activist who won worldwide fame in the 1980s as an opponent to [[apartheid]]. He called for boycotts of his own country in response to the racism in [[Africa]].

Tutu was the first black South African to be elected to be the [[Anglican]] Archbishop of Cape Town in South Africa. Tutu was also the primate of the Church of Province of South Africa. In 1984 Tutu was awarded the [[Nobel Peace Prize]]. He also was the recipient of the Albert Schweitzer Prize for Humanitarianism. On top of all this, he also got the Magubela Prize for liberty in 1986.

Desmond often reminisced about how he enjoyed it when white British policemen addressed him or his wife as Sir or Madam [http://www.kcl.ac.uk/phpnews/wmview.php?ArtID=533], not what he was used to in South Africa.

Bishop Tutu had criticized the schism in the Anglican Communion over the role of homosexuals in the church. At a 2006 conference in Nairobi he was quoted as being "deeply disturbed that in the face of some of the most horrendous problems facing Africa, we concentrate on 'what do I do in bed with whom'".

==Controversies==
===Comment following Pietersburg fight===
On April 22, 1986, a National Party meeting to be addressed by then Minister of Foreign Affairs Roelof "Pik" Botha in the Transvaal town of Pietersburg (now Polokwane) was disrupted by 5,000 White rightwingers (including the [[AWB]]). In response, Tutu was reported to have said "if they [apartheid supporters] can turn on each other now, that means our battles are going to be less horrendous".

===Bomb threat===
In 1989, Desmond Tutu's eldest son, Trevor Tutu, made a bomb threat at the East London Airport<ref>[https://www.deseret.com/1989/10/9/18827041/tutu-s-son-faces-charge-in-bomb-threat TUTU'S SON FACES CHARGE IN BOMB THREAT]</ref> and in 1991, was given a jail sentence for contravening the Civil Aviation Act. In 2010, during an interview with the far-left media outlet, ''[[The New York Times]]'', Desmond Tutu reflected on the incident by making excuses for his son, referring to him as a "gifted person", later commenting that "when he's not under the influence, he's incredibly wonderful, he really is, and it makes you weep to see how he then is almost intent on destroying himself".<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/07/magazine/07fob-q4-t.html The Priest]</ref>

On April 22, 1986, a National Party meeting to be addressed by then Minister of Foreign Affairs Roelof "Pik" Botha in the Transvaal town of Pietersburg (now Polokwane) was disrupted by 5,000 White rightwingers (including the [[AWB]]). In response, Tutu was reported to have said "if they [apartheid supporters] can turn on each other now, that means our battles are going to be less horrendous".

===Bomb threat===
In 1989, Desmond Tutu's eldest son, Trevor Tutu, made a bomb threat at the East London Airport<ref>[https://www.deseret.com/1989/10/9/18827041/tutu-s-son-faces-charge-in-bomb-threat TUTU'S SON FACES CHARGE IN BOMB THREAT]</ref> and in 1991, was sentenced to a jail sentence for contravening the Civil Aviation Act. In 2010 during an interview with the far-left media outlet, [[The New York Times]], Desmond Tutu reflected on the incident by making excuses for his son, referring to him as a "gifted person", later commenting that "when he's not under the influence, he's incredibly wonderful, he really is, and it makes you weep to see how he then is almost intent on destroying himself"<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/07/magazine/07fob-q4-t.html The Priest]</ref>.

'''Alexandria "AOC" Ocasio-Cortez''' (born October 13, 1989<ref>Biography.com editors (June 27, 2018). [https://www.biography.com/people/alexandria-ocasio-cortez "Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Biography"]. The Biography.com website (A&E Television Networks, February 8, 2019 ed.)</ref>), is a [[racist]] and [[fascist]] [[Democrat]] representative from [[New York]]'s 14th congressional district. At 28 years old she is the youngest menstruating person ever elected to Congress and is a member of the [[Congressional Progressive Caucus]]. Ocasio-Cortez is an vociferous proponent of the [[democide|murderous]] ideology of [[Socialism]].

AOC has been criticized for her heavy use of [[Marxist]] clichés and racist comments about "token blacks."<ref>https://www.dailywire.com/news/44137/ugly-racist-tweet-ocasio-cortez-slammed-promoting-ryan-saavedra</ref> In 2018, Ocasio-Cortez led a group of insurrectionists in a takeover of [[Speaker Nancy Pelosi]]'s office inside the [[U.S. Capitol]] building.<ref>https://www.westernjournal.com/ocasio-cortez-activists-occupy-nancy-pelosis-office-demand-green-new-deal/</ref> After the [[2020 presidential election]], Ocasio-Cortez incited people to participate in protests:

A leading [[anti-Semite]] and rabble-rouser in the House of Representatives, Ocasio-Cortez refused to tour the [[Auschwitz]] concentration camp with Holocaust survivor Ed Mosberg and slandered those who invited her as "far-right"; Mosberg has called for her removal from Congress.<ref>Two references:

==Background==
Ocasio-Cortez is a [[cultural Marxist]] reared to believe the [[dialectical materialism|dialectical materialist]] view that [[capitalism]] is a transitory phase to socialism in which the planet will be ruled by an enlightened elite of [[anti-democratic]] [[technocrat]]s, should it survive a climate crisis. She believes the Marxist notion that capitalism is an [[ideology]], and not a simple paradigm of fundamental [[economic]] laws. A descendant of [[white]] [[Europe]]ans during the [[Conquistador|Spanish Conquest (''La Conquista'')]] of the [[Western Hemisphere]] who imposed [[colonialism|colonial]] rule and [[cultural hegemony]] over [[Native American]]s and trafficked in the [[Africa]]n slave trade, Ocasio-Cortez now thinks she is an oppressed woman of color.

===Education===
Ocasio-Cortez, who is said to hold degrees in economics and international relations ''cum laude'' from Boston University, is fond of quoting the "the famous economist, Milton Keynes."<ref>https://twitter.com/andurudottext/status/1226270913240256512?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw</ref>

AOC found her first encounter with a garbage disposal baffling.<ref>https://www.tmz.com/2019/05/07/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-garbage-disposal-apartment-scared-blown-away-funny/</ref>

===Rich kid===
Although Ocasio-Cortez pretends to speak for and come from [[poverty]], she grew up in the [[white privilege]]d suburb of Westchester County with a median household income of $83,000 and net worth of $1.2 million – one of the highest in the country. Westchester County is the home of the [[Clinton]] and [[Rockefeller]] estates.<ref>https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5905247/amp/Girl-Bronx-Alexandria-Ocasio-Cortez-actually-grew-wealthy-Westchester-County.html</ref>

Ocasio-Cortez founded Brook Avenue Press in 2012 which never published any books.<ref>https://youtu.be/-pFAayEMqDM</ref> The state Taxation Department dissolved the company in 2016 and issued a warrant for thousands of dollars in unpaid taxes.<ref>https://nypost.com/2019/03/09/company-founded-by-ocasio-cortez-in-2012-still-owes-1870-in-taxes/</ref>

In 2018 Ocasio-Cortez's mother fled New York for [[Florida]] because of high [[tax]]es. She told reporters: {{quotebox|"I was paying $10,000 a year in real estate taxes up north. I'm paying $600 a year in Florida. It's stress-free down here."<ref>https://freebeacon.com/politics/ocasio-cortezs-mom-left-new-york-because-of-high-taxes/</ref>}}

After her election to Congress, Ocasio-Cortez moved into a luxury apartment that does not offer affordable housing – despite the fact that affordable housing was an important part of her campaign platform.<ref>Goodman, Alana (February 19, 2019).

====Why the worst get on top====
[[File:Instructions to japanese.png|right|200px|thumb|FDR interned American citizens in mass incarceration camps based on their racial origin.]]
Economist [[F.A. Hayek]] explained the rise of figures such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in a chapter of the ''[[The Road to Serfdom]]'':
{{quotebox|If a numerous group is needed, strong enough to impose their views on the values of life on all the rest, it will never be those with highly differentiated and developed tastes it will be those who form the "mass" in the derogatory sense of the term, the least original and independent, who will be able to put the weight of their numbers behind their particular ideals. ... he[/she] will be able to obtain the support of all the docile and gullible, who have no strong convictions of their own but are prepared to accept a ready-made system of values if it is only drummed into their ears sufficiently loudly and frequently. It will be those whose vague and imperfectly formed ideas are easily swayed and whose passions and emotions are readily aroused who will thus swell the ranks of the [[single party control|totalitarian party]]. It is in connection with the deliberate effort of the skillful [[demagogue]] to weld together a closely coherent and homogeneous body of supporters that the third and perhaps most important negative element of selection enters. It seems to be almost a law of human nature that it is easier for people to agree on a negative programme, on the hatred of an enemy, on the [[envy]] of those better off, than on any positive task. The contrast between the "we" and the "they", the common fight against those outside the group, seems to be an essential ingredient in any creed which will solidly knit together a group for common action. It is consequently always employed by those who seek, not merely support of a policy, but the unreserved allegiance of huge masses. From their point of view it has the great advantage of leaving them greater freedom of action than almost any positive programme. The enemy, whether he be internal like the "[[Jew]]" or the "[[Kulak]]", or external, seems to be an indispensable requisite in the armoury of a totalitarian leader. That in Germany it was the Jew who became the enemy till his place was taken by the "[[Plutocracy|plutocracies]]" was no less a result of the anti-capitalist resentment on which the whole movement was based than the selection of the Kulak in [[Russia]]. In [[Germany]] and [[Austria]] the Jew had come to be regarded as the representative of [[capitalism]] because a traditional dislike of large classes of the population for commercial pursuits had left these more readily accessible to a group that was practically excluded from the more highly esteemed occupations.<ref>https://fee.org/resources/the-road-to-serfdom-chapter-10-why-the-worst-get-on-top/</ref>}}
AOC wants to turn the Democratic party into "the party of [[FDR]]," who threw [[Japan]]ese-American [[citizen]]s, born in America, guilty of nothing, into concentration camps and opposed the Republican-backed [[Anti-lynching law]].<ref>https://dcdirtylaundry.com/what-is-she-smokin-aoc-wants-to-bring-the-dems-back-to-fdr-days-complete-with-internment-camps/</ref> A ''[[Wall Street Journal]]'' op-ed noted that Ocasio-Cortez
{{quotebox|leads a generation of young people to take pride in their ignorance—of the laws of nature, of history, of the Constitution, of the eternal battle for freedom—and still succeed.}}
Like many other leftwing cultists who glorify the accomplishments of New Dealers in the 1940s, few realize the boys who [[Normandy Invasion|stormed the beaches at Normandy]] to defend democracy and defeat fascism were virtually all [[heterosexual]] white men - whom liberals demonize today - as the U.S. Armed Services were segregated by race and blacks denied frontline combat roles until 1947, and [[homosexual]]s were banned until 1993.

During the communist induced [[coronavirus]] [[pandemic]] while America was on lockdown Ocasio-Cortez uploaded to [[Instagram]] a video demonstrating how to mix a Margarita alcoholic drink while lecturing her followers about how the federal government needs to do more. Video transcript:
{{quotebox-float|We need to be really blowing up our elected officials offices and demanding relief because they want to continue to get away with doing far too little. And this in this moment. There's no such thing as doing too much. I mean honestly, have you ever had a place in your life where the federal government did too much for you? Where they gave you too much? Never happened to me. I've never seen that in my life. But anyways, okay... so we got two ounces of lime juice... just putting that in here and filled it up with some rice. And here's my little ingredient for Margaritas that I like. You know, put a little stank on it. I use some pineapple juice and some triple sec.

===Racism===
A Black man approached Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez indicating he’d like his picture taken with her. She was all smiles and eager to oblige when he claimed to have driven an hour to see her, and posed for a picture with him. When the Black man informed her that he was a journalist with ''[[Project Veritas]]''” the words barely escaped his lips when she jumped back and her handlers swooped in.<ref>https://twitter.com/Cernovich/status/1420570005393924103</ref>

AOC claimed the [[Deep State coup 2.0|impeachment of Donald Trump]] was the only issue uniting Democrats in Congress, putting aside the differences between radical socialists and alleged moderates, and that's why uniformly they chose to do a [[kamikaze]] dive.<ref>https://news.yahoo.com/aoc-says-impeachment-necessary-unite-142706386.html</ref>

===Smash and grab===
AOC denied that the Democrat crime wave of the Biden era was happening, despite homicide being at a 30 year high. Democrat no-cash bail policies released criminal offenders back on the street to re-offend. Democrat prosecutors in Democrat cities refused to prosecute crime, unless the resulting press coverage could further their career ambitions.

===Green New Deal===

{{See also|Marxism|Global warming}}
The [[junk science]] behind the [[Green New Deal]] was embraced by virtually all [[2020 presidential election|2020 Democratic presidential candidates]]. For example, that Medicare for All, a guaranteed income and minimum wage increase, unionization, killing all cows and destroying the airline and automotive industries would save the planet from final destruction before the year 2030.

Ocasio-Cortez was not named by Speaker Pelosi to her brainchild, the [[House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis]], which was negotiated in exchange for Ocasio-Cortez not voting against Pelosi for Speaker. The new committee is responsible for creating a plan with draft legislation by January 1, 2020. Its scope and mandate makes clear its vision:
{{quotebox-float|"The select committee shall have authority to develop a detailed national, industrial, economic mobilization plan for the transition of the United States economy to become greenhouse gas emissions neutral and to significantly draw down greenhouse gases from the atmosphere and oceans and to promote economic and [[environmental justice]] and equality."}} The Green New Deal advances non-environmental projects, such as,
{{quotebox-float|"social, economic, [[racial]], regional and gender-based justice."<ref>https://news.grabien.com/story-ocasio-cortezs-green-new-deal-radical-mandate-government-con</ref>}}
Ocasio-Cortez's claims it will eliminate [[poverty]]:
{{quotebox-float|"The Plan for a Green New Deal (and the draft legislation) shall recognize that a national, industrial, economic mobilization of this scope and scale is a historic opportunity to virtually eliminate poverty in the [[United States]] and to make prosperity, wealth and economic security available to everyone participating in the transformation."}}

The Green New Deal was introduced as H.Res.109 on February 7, 2019, by Ocasio-Cortez,<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20190208215631/https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5729035/Green-New-Deal-FAQ.pdf</ref> leading many to believe she is really a Republican plant seeking to discredit the [[progressive movement]]. The bill says nothing about wildfire management and National Parks maintenance.

Separately, Ocasio-Cortez has claimed that an effective climate plan would have to cost at least $10 trillion.<ref>Elis, Niv (June 5, 2019).

====If you like lockdown, you'll love the Green New Deal====
{{See also|CCP global pandemic}}
In an editorial published by the ''Washington Examiner'' entitled "If you like the pandemic lockdown, you're going to love the 'Green New Deal'", the editors wrote:
[[File:JD Sunrise GND Rez 84H11SCoSponsors Announce 1200x1200 021318.png|right|350px|thumb|84 House Democrats and 11 Democrat Senators sponsored the New Green Deal; the proposal killed 25,000 jobs the first week.<ref>https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/14/politics/amazon-aoc-democrats-future/index.html</ref>]]
{{quotebox-float|When socialist darling Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez first floated her “Green New Deal,” it was an intangible vision for [[society]] rather than a concrete policy proposal. Even after the New York Democrat and her acolytes added details (including a ban on airplanes and flatulent cows) in a voluminous range of policies costing an astounding $93 trillion, the idea of running the economy without fossil fuels seemed unthinkable.

Now, however, thanks to the [[pandemic]] lockdown of society, the public is in a position to judge what the “Green New Deal” revolution would look like. It's like redoing this global pandemic and economic slump every year.

Environmental activists say the silver lining of the lockdown is that carbon emissions will drop by nearly 6% globally this year because of reduced travel and industrial emissions. Climate hawks such as Ocasio-Cortez call for this level of reduction every year. The United Nations Environment Programme goes even further, demanding 7.6% each year to stave off climate change.

“This is what ‘rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society’ looks like,” prominent climate activist Eric Holthaus wrote on Twitter. “We're doing it. It's possible!”

“That's the whole point of a Green New Deal,” he continued. “We can build a better world for everyone out of the ashes of the old one.”

Ocasio-Cortez, incorrectly pointing to falling oil prices as a boon to green energy, agrees that the coronavirus shutdown reflects her vision of a climate change solution.

This is intellectually unimpressive, but at least it's honest. The socialist greens acknowledge that the meltdown and shutdown we're enduring (with gritted teeth) is what their climate agenda entails. They're right.

A whopping 26 million people have filed for unemployment benefits in the past five weeks. The economy is in free fall. People are miserable. Domestic abuse and [[mental health]] indicators are getting worse. But hey, at least we're almost getting the carbon reductions the green extremists say we need.

Obviously, Ocasio-Cortez and other green dreamers don't want people dead or depressed, but these are the implications of their carbon-free agenda. It entails suffering that gets worse as time goes by. Voters who weren't instantly repelled by the plan's fiscal obscenity and rejection of [[freedom]] are now getting a taste of what the militant socialist agenda would actually mean.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/editorials/if-you-like-the-pandemic-lockdown-youre-going-to-love-the-green-new-deal</ref>}}

====De-industrialization====

Ocasio-Cortez's plan calls for, within 10 years a
{{Quotebox|
*national, energy-efficient, smart grid;
*Upgrading every residential and industrial building for state-of-the-art energy efficiency, comfort and safety;
*Eliminating greenhouse gas emissions from the manufacturing, agricultural and other industries as well as from America’s transportation and infrastructure network, the sort of legislation that provoked the [[Yellow Vest movement]];
*Funding "massive investment" in reducing existing greenhouse gasses.}}

The new committee will have total oversight of American industry, with a mandate for pushing union membership. Under “Scope of the Plan,” a section on labor states the committee's final plan shall:
{{quotebox|"Require strong enforcement of labor, workplace safety, and wage standards that recognize the rights of workers to organize and unionize free of coercion, intimidation, and harassment, and creation of meaningful, quality, career employment."}}

====Free money====
:{{See also|Nanny state|Welfare state}}
The plan calls for "economic security for all who are unable or unwilling to work." [[Abraham Lincoln]] defined [[slavery]] in this way: “You work; I’ll eat.” In his Chicago speech of July 10, 1858, Lincoln put it slightly differently, “You toil and I will enjoy the fruits of it.”

The plan calls for creating a national jobs force to help people participate in this "transition." The Green New Deal shall
{{quotebox|"provide all members of our society, across all regions and all communities, the opportunity, training and education to be a full and equal participant in the transition, including through a job guarantee program to assure a living wage job to every person who wants one."}}

====War on Cow Flatulence====

The dirty little secret about the [[global warming hoax]] is that it's not [[Dick Cheney]], [[Halliburton]] and [[capitalism]] destroying the planet with carbon emissions, but rather American's beef-eating habits and reliance on dairy products. As population grows, dairy cow and slaughter beef herds get bigger. One cow gives off more methane gas daily than an automobile at a [[McDonald's]] drive thru.<ref>https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/should-plant-based-meat-replace-beef-completely</ref> Ocasio-Cortez wants to do away with factory farms in favor of a [[collective]].

{{quotebox|"Totally overhaul transportation by massively expanding electric vehicle manufacturing, build charging stations everywhere, build out high-speed rail at a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary, create affordable public transit available to all, with goal to replace every combustion-engine vehicle}} while at the same time :
{{quotebox|"A Green New Deal ... would not include creating new nuclear plants. It’s unclear if we will be able to decommission every nuclear plant within 10 years, but the plan is to transition off of nuclear and all fossil fuels as soon as possible,"}} essentially "build charging stations everywhere" without a power source while looking to decommission existing power sources.
The Congressional Research Service says automobile electrification will disrupt the automotive parts supply chain,.<ref>https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/IF11101.pdf</ref>
The proposal doesn't spell out if "massively expanding electric vehicle manufacturing" supports President Trump's trade war with oversees automobile manufacturers, or if the jobs will go to [[China]] to achieve the Democrats' plan to create "a job for anyone who wants one."

====Corporate greed====
Green New Deal advocates claimed their first victory by killing [[Amazon.com|Amazon]]'s plan to bring its main headquarters to New York and create 25,000 jobs with wages averaging $150,000. Elizabeth Warren and Ocasio-Cortez took credit for killing the deal. Rep. [[Carolyn Maloney]] of New York, who supports the Green New Deal, was livid with her fellow [[communist]]s.<ref>https://youtu.be/nnVS-Zah54k</ref>

[[CNN]] reported the fight over Amazon is the fight for the future of the [[Democratic Party]].<ref>https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/14/politics/amazon-aoc-democrats-future/index.html</ref> Ocasio-Cortez tweeted:
{{quotebox|"Anything is possible: today was the day a group of dedicated, everyday New Yorkers & their neighbors defeated Amazon's corporate [[greed]], its worker exploitation, and the power of the richest man in the world."}}
Amazon was promised up to $1.5 billion in tax abatements in exchange for the promise of creating 25,000 jobs averaging $150,000 per year. Ocasio-Cortez believes a tax abatement is a bucket of cash the government can spend on subways or teachers.

====Ignores Paygo provision====
[[File:010318venezuela.jpg|right|300px|thumb|'''Venezualans eating garbage.''' Venezuela, a once prosperous country with oil surpluses, adopted free healthcare as a "right" in 1999.]]
The Green New Deal would be paid for by the [[Federal Reserve]] printing more money which Ocasio-Cortez claims is "[[morality|morally right]]".
{{Quotebox-float|"The Federal Reserve can extend credit to power these projects and investments, new public banks can be created (as in [[WWII]]) to extend credit and a combination of various taxation tools (including taxes on carbon and other emissions and progressive wealth taxes) can be employed."}}
This proposal violates the House [[Paygo]] provision, which mandates all new spending proposals must carry with them cuts in programs for existing constituencies, or proposals for tax increases to offset added spending. Ocasio-Cortez's Medicare for All proposal, which Bernie Sanders and Nancy Pelosi both claim to support, adds spending more than two times America's Gross Domestic Product,<ref>https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-07-30/study-medicare-for-all-bill-estimated-at-32-6-trillion</ref> making the Medicare for All provision a fantasy, Ocasio-Cortez a simpleton, and Pelosi and Sanders bald face liars to stupid people. Paygo is Pelosi's own rule that she herself formulated as [[Speaker of the House]]. Pelosi later tried to back away from the lip service she paid to portions of the Green New Deal to get elected Speaker, "The green dream or whatever they call it, nobody knows what it is, but they’re for it, right?’"

Former Federal Reserve chairman [[Alan Greenspan]], who nurtured two of the longest economic recoveries in American history, thinks Ocasio-Cortez's plan for a 70% tax rate is a "terrible idea."<ref>https://www.cnbc.com/2019/01/07/alan-greenspan-thinks-the-ocasio-cortez-70percent-tax-plan-is-a-terrible-idea.html</ref>

====Committee subpoena power====
Select committees typically have [[subpoena]] power. Members could presumably wield subpoenas to investigate oil and gas companies. No sooner than the vote for Speaker was taken, Pelosi's flunky [[Steny Hoyer]] moved to strip the new select committee's subpoena power. Hoyer has accepted more than a quarter of a million dollars from the fossil fuel industry.

====Environmentalist reaction====

[[Patrick Moore]], co-founder of [[Greenpeace]], said of Ocasio-Cortez and the plan:
{{Quotebox-float|Pompous little twit. You don’t have a plan to grow food for 8 billion people without fossil fuels, or get the [[food]] into the cities. Horses?

====Confrontation by Marjorie Taylor Greene====
On May 12, 2021, Georgia Republican representative [[Marjorie Taylor Greene]] confronted Ocasio-Cortez outside the House chamber over the latter's refusal to debate Greene about the Green New Deal, as well as calling Ocasio-Cortez out for her support of Antifa and other terrorist groups. Ocasio-Cortez refused to talk to Greene and walked away, after which Greene accused her of cowardice and called her a chicken for not wanting to debate her.<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/05/marjorie-taylor-greene-confronts-chicken-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-outside-house-chamber-aoc-spox-calls-congress-safe-space-mtg/ Marjorie Taylor Greene Confronts “Chicken” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Outside House Chamber, AOC Spox Calls for Congress to Be a’ Safe Space’ from MTG] at the Gateway Pundit</ref> In response, liberals went into [[snowflake]] mode on Greene as some on Twitter defended Ocasio-Cortez, accusing Greene of "...(creating) a hostile work environment" and making other outlandish and false accusations against her, while Nancy Pelosi called for an ethics investigation of Greene based on specious claims of "verbal assault and abuse" and falsely claimed that Greene's peaceful confrontation of AOC was a "cause for trauma and fear among Members" and also falsely accused her of being "...a belligerent person not in control of themselves",<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/05/pelosi-calls-ethics-investigation-marjorie-taylor-greene-verbal-assault-abuse-aoc-cause-trauma-fear-among-members/ Pelosi Calls for Ethics Investigation of Marjorie Taylor Greene for ‘Verbal Assault and Abuse of AOC’, a ‘Cause of Trauma and Fear Among Members’] at the Gateway Pundit</ref><ref name="Bartender AOC">[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/05/bartender-aoc-mtg-kinds-people-threw-bars-time/ Bartender AOC on MTG: “These Are the Kinds of People That I Threw Out of Bars All the Time”] at the Gateway Pundit</ref> and Ocasio-Cortez herself tried to save face when speaking with reporters following the incident by claiming in a bravado-filled statement that in her bartending days, Greene was "...the (kind) of people that I threw out of bars all the time", then played the race card by falsely accusing Greene of being a "white supremacist";<ref name="Bartender AOC"/> Greene responded to AOC's comments by likening her to a child in how she handled the situation.

:{{Main article|116th United States Congress}}
Upon election, Ocasio-Cortez began [[panhandling]] the public claiming that she did not have enough cash to meet personal living expenses.<ref>https://amp.usatoday.com/amp/1940870002</ref> Two months later, the Democrat leadership assigned her to the Financial Services Committee.

Before being "inaugurated" (her words) Ocasio-Cortez tweeted "Next time we have a gov shutdown, Congressional salaries should be furloughed as well. It’s completely unacceptable that members of Congress can force a government shutdown on [[partisan]] lines & then have Congressional salaries exempt from that decision." After being sworn in during a shutdown, Ocasio-Cortez gleefully collected her paycheck.

Ocasio-Cortez raised $1.8 million in a district where she received 78% of the vote, meaning she has plenty of cash to dole out to other Democrat House members to buy their support, loyalty, and favors.<ref>https://www.opensecrets.org/races/summary?cycle=2018&id=NY14</ref> Her Republican opponent spent $1935 on the election.

After her outrageous demagoguery over [[concentration camp]]s and support for antisemitism, Ocasio-Cortez then claimed illegal migrants were forced to drink toilet water to drum up more personal attention. Ironically, Ocasio-Cortez voted against a Democrat-sponsored bill that would have provided humanitarian relief for the border crisis which Democrats claimed was manufactured, then threw a fit when the Senate rejected the bill she herself voted against.<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2019/06/28/ocasio-cortez-senate-mcconnell-house-border-bill-tapper/</ref>

'''NeverNancy movement'''

Ocasio-Cortez took part in the Dump Pelosi Movement and led protests into Pelosi's Capitol Hill office where 150 people were arrested. In exchange for her vote for Pelosi as Speaker, Pelosi threw the progressives a bone by promising the establishment of a new select committee on a [[Green New Deal]], a plan to radically transform the economy.

At the very moment [[California]] was consumed by the worst wildfires in history, Ocasio-Cortez led a mob of [[tree hugger]]s in a takeover of Speaker Nancy Pelosi's Capitol Hill office.

The wildfires killed scores of people and left tens of thousands homeless. The fires were fueled by bad forestry management and a failure to remove dead trees.

===2018 primary===
Ocasio-Cortez defeated [[incumbent]] Democrat Joe Crowley in the 2018 nominating [[primary]] for [[New York]]'s 14th congressional district carrying 56% of the vote with a 12% turnout. Primary victory is tantamount to general election victory in this district, meaning less than 17,000 people voted for her in district of over 700,000 inhabitants, yet the media proclaimed her as representative of a generation.<ref>https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2018/07/19/opinions/democrats-need-reform-new-york-primary-weaver/index.html</ref> Rep.

Crowley had been the leading contender to succeed [[Nancy Pelosi]] as Speaker.<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2018/07/30/soros-uygur-ocasio-cortez/</ref> Having defeated Pelosi's successor, the Democrats had no one to succeed Pelosi and Pelosi stayed on for another term.

===Ethics violations and abuse of power===
Before taking office, Ocasio-Cortez was embroiled in allegations of violating House Ethics Rules and federal law. Ocasio-Cortez threatened a private citizen and political opponent with [[subpoena]]s and investigation. The House Rules Manual states, {{quotebox|“Members…are not to take or withhold any official action on the basis of the campaign contributions or support of the involved individuals, or their partisan affiliation. Members and staff are likewise prohibited from threatening punitive action on the basis of such considerations.”<ref>[https://ethics.house.gov/sites/ethics.house.gov/files/documents/2008_House_Ethics_Manual.pdf Page 150]</ref>}} What's more, Ocasio-Cortez may have violated 42 [[U.S. Code]] § 1983 – Civil action for deprivation of rights: {{quotebox|"Every person who, under color of any [[statute]], ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage, of any State or Territory or the [[District of Columbia]], subjects, or causes to be subjected, any [[citizen]] of the United States or other person within the jurisdiction thereof to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the [[Constitution]] and [[law]]s, shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law, suit in equity, or other proper proceeding for redress, except that in any action brought against a judicial officer for an act or omission taken in such officer’s judicial capacity, injunctive relief shall not be granted unless a declaratory decree was violated or declaratory relief was unavailable. For the purposes of this section, any Act of Congress applicable exclusively to the District of Columbia shall be considered to be a statute of the District of Columbia." (R.S. § 1979; Pub. L. 96–170, § 1, Dec. 29, 1979, 93 Stat. 1284; Pub. L. 104–317, title III, § 309(c), Oct. 19, 1996, 110 Stat. 3853.)<ref>https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/42/1983</ref>}}

Ocasio-Cortez made protecting the working class and the poor her top priority. A week after being sworn in ("inaugurated" in her words), it was reported that her campaign had been fined for failure to pay state-mandated workers compensation coverage for campaign workers. She paid a $1500 fine, which of course was less than the cost of complying with the law.<ref>https://www.syracuse.com/politics/2019/01/ny-fines-ocasio-cortezs-campaign-for-failing-to-carry-workers-comp-coverage.html Even though a fine can equal the cost of back payments, it does not include interest and penalties or the labor cost of accounting and legal fees to insure compliance.</ref>

The Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT) filed a complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics over Ocasio-Cortez' use of taxpayer dollars to raise campaign funds.<ref> C. White, [https://dailycaller.com/2019/03/06/aoc-twitter-violations/ Scoop: Ethics Group To File House Complaint On Ocasio-Cortez’s Twitter Use], DC, Mar 6, 2019</ref>

====Justice Democrats====
[[File:The face of socialism.jpg|right|300px|thumb|AOC: The Face of Socialism.<ref>https://www.yourcentralvalley.com/news/local-news/this-is-the-face-of-socialism-elizabeth-hengs-new-pac-ad-targets-ocasio-cortez/</ref>]]
Ocasio-Cortez and her [[chief of staff]] Saikat Chakrabarti obtained majority control of [[Justice Democrats|Justice Democrats PAC]] in December 2017. Justice Democrats PAC raised more than $1.8 million before her June 2018 primary. Ocasio-Cortez never reported to the [[Federal Election Commission]] that she and Chakrabarti, who served as her campaign chair, controlled the PAC while it paid money to her 2018 campaign committee.

Justice Democrats stated on its website from December 2017 until late February 2019 that Ocasio-Cortez and Chakrabarti held “legal control” of Justice Democrats PAC,<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20171225015602/https://www.justicedemocrats.com/about Justice Democrats: Democrats that Represent the People] (2017)</ref> and the two still serve on the three-member board of Justice Democrats.

Ocasio-Cortez's campaign and Justice Democrats raised a combined $4.6 million during the [[2018 midterm election]] cycle,

[[Armenian genocide|Armenian holocaust]] denier [[Cenk Uygur]] was forced from the board of Justice Democrats for what Chakrabarti called “extremely disturbing [[sexist]] and [[racist]] statements" in December 2017,<ref>https://twitter.com/justicedems/status/944356205476106240/photo/1</ref><ref>https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/justice-democrats-ousts-cenk-uygur_us_5a3eb4d1e4b025f99e178181</ref> followed by Kyle Kulinski of the ''Young Turks'' who quit the same month. Justice Democrats then reported that Ocasio-Cortez and Chakrabarti were “governors” of the organization in a document submitted to the Washington, D.C., Department of Consumer & Regulatory Affairs on March 28, 2018. A third listed governor was the PAC's treasurer, Nasim Thompson.<ref>https://dailycaller.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Justice-Democrats-two-year-report-March-28-2018.jpg</ref>

====Brand New Congress====
A [[Federal Election Commission]] complaint was filed alleging money laundering campaign donations to her boyfriend. Early on, her website was a redirect page for the group [[Brand New Congress]], archives in the [[Wayback Machine]] show.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20170828110100/https://ocasio2018.com/ Brand New Congress home page via ocasio2018 .com]</ref>

Brand New Congress paid Ocasio-Cortez's live-in boyfriend money in excess of campaign contribution limits.<ref>https://www.dailywire.com/news/44095/ocasio-cortez-hit-fec-complaint-alleging-she-ryan-saavedra</ref> Ocasio-Cortez had her boyfriend on her Congressional payroll staff after she took office.

Ocasio-Cortez' boyfriend, Riley Roberts, worked in home improvements and has no record or knowledge of working on a campaign. As Ocasio-Cortez' live-in boyfriend, the circular flow of cash from donors to Brand New Congress PAC, to Brand New Congress LLC, to Riley Roberts - a cohabitator with Ocasio-Cortez - appears to be a conversion of campaign finances for personal use and gain.<ref>https://pjmedia.com/trending/ocasio-cortez-boyfriend-troubles-reveal-the-corruption-at-the-heart-of-her-campaign/</ref> She appears to have emolumated herself with progressive donor's cash.

====Fundraising====
Ocasio-Cortez is a case study in what is wrong with campaign finance laws. Cortez sits in a safe district, meaning she was virtually elected in the primary. The [[liberal media]] turned her into a fundraising magnet - for money she didn't need in a district she ran in virtually unopposed.

Campaign "war chests," as they are called, are not to be used for the candidate's personal enrichment. Some candidates raise more money than they need, others have difficulty attracting donations even in their own districts, let alone from outside [[lobbyist]]s in [[Washington]]. Under existing regulations, candidates and members are free to donate to each other. Congresspeople become laundry machines for disguised donors. Instead of a member taking bribes from outside interests, they are "owned" by a fellow member, where any pretense of equality between the people's elected representatives is a charade. At 29 years old, Ocasio-Cortez was already barnstorming across the country raising nearly $900,000 and helping other Democrats get elected,<ref>https://m.newstimes.com/news/article/Democratic-socialists-are-conquering-the-left-13146775.php</ref> for which they are indebted to her, before she was even elected.<ref>https://www.politico.com/story/2019/01/16/justice-democrats-primary-challenges-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-1106911</ref>

A Daily Caller News Foundation analysis of FEC records found only 10 people who live in her district were recorded making donations to her reelection campaign in 2019.<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2019/08/13/ocasio-cortez-district-fec/</ref>

====Saikat Chakrabarti====
[[Saikat Chakrabarti]] is Rep. Ocasio-Cortez's chief of staff and managed her 2018 campaign. Chakrabarti regularly can be seen posing in a T-shirt emblazoned with the image of a [[Nazi]] collaborator from [[India]] who fought with the Germans against [[colonialism]] in the [[British Empire]].

Chakrabarti and Ocasio-Cortez held majority control of Justice Democrats up to February 2019. Justice Democrats appears to be a [[money-laundering]] operation for illegal campaign donations.

Additionally, Chakrabarti has been accused of funneling $1 million to two companies he controlled in a complaint filed by the National Legal and Policy Center with the FEC. According to the Brand New Congress website, the PAC would build a "unified campaign" infrastructure including fundraising, organizing, rallies, and advertising progressive congressional candidates across the country could "plug into," saving the individual campaigns time and money.

In 2016 and 2017, Chakrabarti's PACs raised about $3.3 million for the project, primarily from small donors. During this time, the committees transferred over $1 million to two shell companies controlled by Chakrabarti with names similar to one of the PACs, Brand New Campaign LLC and Brand New Congress LLC, according to federal election filings.

A few weeks after starting the Brand New Congress PAC, Chakrabarti formed one of the companies, Brand New Campaign LLC, in Delaware, using a registered agent service and mailbox-only address.

Over the next seven months, as small-dollar political donations poured into the PAC from progressives across the country, the committee transferred over $200,000, 82 percent of the contributions, to the company Brand New Campaign LLC. The payments were for "strategic consulting," according to federal election filings. They were sent to an apartment address listed for Chakrabarti in the Greenwich Village area of Manhattan.

In 2017, Brand New Congress PAC transferred another $240,000 to Brand New Congress LLC, also for "strategic consulting." Another PAC co-founded by Chakrabarti that year, Justice Democrats, transferred an additional $605,000 to Brand New Congress LLC in 2017.

Brand New Congress LLC does not appear to be registered in any state, according to state government records available online.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/ocasio-cortezs-chief-of-staff-ran-1m-slush-fund-by-diverting-campaign-cash-to-his-own-companies</ref>

Chakrabarti's ideas are basically to replicate a European-style party system in America, eliminate [[grassroots]] politics, and dole out cash from a central authority to candidates who meet an ideological litmus test - pro-[[infanticide]], [[2nd Amendment]] repeal, a communist single-payer healthcare system, [[transgenderism]], print money for a guaranteed income, [[inflation]], eliminate factory farming and promote [[veganism]], etc.

Chakrabarti accused fellow Democrats and moderates of being racists, tweeting "They certainly seem hell-bent to do to black and brown people today what the old Southern Democrats did in the 40s.”<ref>https://twitter.com/mattdizwhitlock/status/1144387728831909889</ref>

Two weeks after former Obama Chief of Staff and Chicago Mayor [[Rahm Emanuel]] referred to Chakrabarti as "a snot nosed punk" for posting on Twitter racist comments about Rep.[[Sharice Davids]], the first [[Native American]] woman elected to Congress, Chakrabarti resigned under a cloud of federal investigations.<ref>https://lauraloomer.us/2019/08/04/ocasio-cortezs-chief-of-staff-faces-federal-investigation-amid-sudden-resignation/</ref> AOC's press staff announced he resigned to work with the [[fascist]] organization [[New Consensus]].<ref>https://theintercept.com/2019/08/02/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-saikat-chakrabarti-corbin-trent/</ref>

====Living wage rule====
Ocasio-Cortez capped her office salaries at $80,000 which disguises her chief of staff and senior employees outside income and protects them from complying public transparency laws that require disclosure of all sources of income, gifts, and stock trading activity. Called a “living wage” rule, she pays staff members a minimum of $52,000 a year ($1000 per week) and a maximum of $80,000 a year ($1500 per week).

Under federal law, congressional employees who earn more than $126,000 a year — which includes most chiefs of staff — must submit public financial disclosure forms that detail outside income they earn, stock investments, debt, and gifts or paid trips that they are given by outside sources.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/aoc-living-wage-rules-allow-her-staff-to-dodge-financial-disclosure-laws</ref>

====[[Dark money]] scam====
While [[Bernie Sanders]] was still competing in the Democratic primaries during the Spring of 2016, Brand New Congress was set up to continue the nationwide fundraising effort from small donors beyond the 2016 election. The stated goal was to collect money at a central collection point, recruit candidates nationwide who adhere to a socialist/communist litmus test and provide the resources necessary to conduct congressional campaigns. The recruits would concentrate on miming Marxist talking points and be relieved of the all legal, financial, promotional, and public relations details that grassroots candidates traditionally had to master.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvGtVu8gmtg</ref>

These small money donations collected by the non-profit Brand New Congress organization, and later Justice Democrats, were then paid to private for-profit Limited Liability Companies owned by Saikat Chakrabarti as "strategic consulting fees." Being private entities, Chakrabarti's private companies are not subject to reporting requirements to the FEC on how the money is spent. In one such incident, Ocasio-Cortez's live-in boyfriend was paid and later given a staff position in her Congressional office.

The districts targeted were held by incumbent Democrats who lacked the [[cultural Marxist]] ideological purity Democratic Socialists demand. The main goal of Justice Democrats and Brand New Congress is an extremist and [[far left]] take over of the Democratic party.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1h5iv6sECGU</ref>

Economist [[Thomas Sowell]], in response to Ocasio-Cortez, said:
{{quotebox-float|"The only way anyone can have a right to something that has to be produced, is to force someone else to produce it for him.

The quantity of grain taken by the state was so great, however, that in most cases, after fulfilling their deliveries and stocking their funds, the collective farms had no surplus."

Given all existing facts and circumstances, that is the only way the "richest country in the world" could afford to provide free healthcare, tuition, and housing for all Americans.

====On the issues====
:{{See also|Race baiting}}
Ocasio-Cortez is a staunch proponent of unlimited [[public debt]] and [[bankrupt]]ing the public treasury. Her advocacy of [[Medicare for All]], free college tuition and housing would cost $42 Trillion, more than two times America's total output by labor, or [[GDP]], experts say.<ref>https://www.vox.com/platform/amp/the-big-idea/2018/8/7/17658574/democratic-socialism-cost-medicare-college-sanders-deficits-taxes</ref> Her solution to cover the lack of resources to fulfill her program is for the Federal Reserve Board to print more currency. She has proposed a universal [[basic income]] (UBI) for those, in her words, "unwilling to work."
[[File:Trump-jr.-ocasio-cortez.jpg|right|300px|thumb|It's no joke.

The [[United States]] has the world's largest economic output at $19 Trillion with 6% of the [[planet]]'s population producing 25% of the planet's total economic output by labor. In an interview with Chris Cuomo of [[CNN]], Ocasio-Cortez gave no indication of understanding or proposals on how to increase total U.S. GDP by over 200%. Neither did she address the doubling rate of increased [[Greenhouse gas|carbon emission]]s necessary to produce the $42 Trillion to fulfill any of her proposals. She has proposed increasing the tax rate for high-earning Americans to 70%, a rate that is even higher than in modern socialist countries.<ref>Morabito, Angela (January 9, 2019).

The question of what other people would live on – the people who are not beneficiaries of Ocasio-Cortez's proposals, was never addressed.<ref>She did, however, question the reported figures of the cost of U.S. [[healthcare]], claiming the numbers do not include the funeral costs of the uninsured. https://www.dailywire.com/news/34265/ocasio-cortez-socialized-medicine-cheap-people-ryan-saavedra?amp Ocasio-Cortez did not explain how a deceased person would be a recurring cost to the U.S. healthcare system either. In addition to a deceased person voting, a deceased retiree theoretically could remain a cost burden to the [[Social Security]] system. https://www.aarp.org/retirement/social-security/questions-answers/report-death-to-social-security/ If survivors or heirs hold a Social Security recipient's debit card and pin number, that deceased person could continue for decades voting and drawing [[entitlement]] benefits.

Ocasio-Cortez advocates banning single-use plastic but has remained silent on government hand-outs of condoms and syringes.

Historically, Democrats always passed minimum wage increases in tandem with their own pay increases, a not very new or transformational idea that Ocasio-Cortez made her own upon taking office.

Ocasio-Cortez is proud of the fact that New York City parents do not have to feed their children.<ref>[https://nalert.blogspot.com/2019/08/video-aoc-proud-of-fact-that-new-york.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+blogspot%2FwHtV+%28Newsalert%29 AOC Proud of the Fact That New York City Parents Don't have to Provide Breakfast and Lunch For Their Children].</ref>

Ocasio-Cortez, who hails from a state with 8th highest ''per capita'' income in the United States, wants to disenfranchise voters of the other 42 states with less income by abolishing the [[electoral college]].

====Apocalyptic premonitions====

<center><big>{{days until|2029|12|31}} Days Until Final Destruction of the Planet'''</big></center>
Ocasio-Cortez is an Apostle of cataclysmic destruction of the [[planet]] in the year 2030. The impending doom is necessitated, she claims, by [[climate change]]. To fight climate change, Ocasio-Cortez has proposed [[illegal immigration]] and [[Medicare for All]], which would necessitate a doubling of [[greenhouse gases|carbon emission]]s to produce the economic output to meet the price tag. Ocasio-Cortez has yet to reconcile why Medicare for All would be necessary for a planet with only twelve years left to live, or that a near doubling of GDP output and carbon emissions to pay for Medicare for All would likely shorten the time remaining for the survival of planet [[Earth]].
[[File:AOC-Dunleavy.PNG|right|300px|thumb|AOC says the purpose of the Green New Deal is to end civilization as we know it.]]
Another conundrum facing Ocasio-Cortez was surviving on a waitress's salary until her $174,000 a year Congressional salary kicked in. The situation was compounded by a government shutdown when no government workers were paid. Ocasio-Cortez told an interviewer during the shutdown, "[[Millennial]]s and [[Gen Z]] and all these folks that come after us are looking up, and we're like, 'The world is going to end in 12 years if we don't address climate change, and your biggest issue is how are we gonna pay for it?' This is our [[World War II]]."<ref>https://nypost.com/2019/01/27/what-science-could-teach-ocastio-cortez-about-climate-change/</ref>

Ocasio-Cortez prophesied the imminent destruction of the city of [[Miami]], [[Florida]], saying “When it comes to climate change, what is not realistic is not responding … with a solution on the scale of the crisis—because what’s not realistic is Miami not existing in a few years. That’s not realistic. So we need to be realistic about the problem.”<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2019/09/13/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-miami-wont-exist/</ref>

In July 2019 the [[BBC]] reduced the time left to save the planet to 18 months,<ref>https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-48964736</ref> or roughly Inauguration Day 2021.

====Colonialist ''Conquistador''====
:{{See also|Colonialism}}
Ocasio-Cortez, who is of European [[Spanish]] descent, thinks the Spanish descendants of [[Christopher Columbus]] (the ''[[Conquistadors]]''), are "colonized people". Ocasio-Cortez really believes, what in Spanish is known are ''La Conquista'', or ''The Conquest of North and South America'', that she and her ancestral European "conquerors" are "victims of colonization" and that European Spanish descendants, such as herself, are "indigenous peoples".<ref>https://twitter.com/tomselliott/status/1182692870010093569?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw</ref>

Actually, Ocasio-Cortez is a Spanish racist who abhors "Angelos". In Spanish, the term "Angelo", which means "English", is a label given to [[German]]s, [[Slav]]s, and all other Nordic and Slavic European groups. The term ''Angelo'' applies racial animosity and collective guilt on all Northern Europeans for the loss of the glory days of the Spanish Empire by the British Navy.<ref>See: [[Spanish Armada]] and [[Elizabethan Age]].</ref>

In truth of fact, Ocasio-Cortez's European ancestors were [[slave]] traders of Africans who conquered and colonized indigenous peoples of the Americas; [[Puerto Rico]] is a Spanish European colony, and its inhabitants, black or white, are not "indigenous peoples". The implication that Puerto Rico has been "colonized" by Angelo-speaking citizens of the United States is not only false, it is a an unmitigated racist sentiment and statement.

====Authoritarianism====
Ocasio-Cortez responded to critics of her totalitarian Green New Deal agenda: {{Quotebox|"So people are like, 'Oh it's unrealistic. Oh it's vague. Oh it doesn't address this little minute thing.' And I'm like, 'You try. You do it. Cuz you're not. Cuz you're not. So, until you do it, I'm the boss.' How about that?' If you don’t like the #GreenNewDeal, then come up with your own ambitious, on-scale proposal to address the global climate crisis. Until then, we’re in charge - and you’re just shouting from the cheap seats."<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/aoc-to-critics-of-green-new-deal-im-the-boss-until-you-try</ref><ref>https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2019/02/24/ocasio-cortez-tried-to-hit-back-at-her-critics-with-this-i-am-the-boss-moment-n2542116</ref>}}

====WikiLeaks====
Ocasio-Cortez has come to the defense of gender-confused former Army soldier [[Chelsea Manning]]. Manning had been sentenced to 35 years in prison for disclosures to [[WikiLeaks]]. WikiLeaks, according to [[Robert Mueller]], [[James Comey]] and [[John Brennan]], is a "front for [[Russia]]n intelligence" which seeks to destroy American democracy. Ocasio-Cortez tweeted {{Quotebox| "Chelsea Manning has been trapped in solitary confinement for refusing to answer questions before a grand jury. Solitary confinement is torture. Chelsea is being tortured for whistleblowing, she should be released on bail, and we should ban extended solitary in the U.S.”}} Manning had spent a few weeks in solitary confinement. Ocasio-Cortez called for ending the barbarous treatment of [[Paul Manafort]], a 68-year-old man who was never accused of colluding with Wikileaks by the [[Mueller Team]] and saw his health deteriorate under the inhumane conditions.<ref>https://www.politico.com/story/2019/06/05/ocasio-cortez-solitary-confinement-paul-manafort-1353641</ref>

====2020 primary election====
[[File:Badrun-Khan.png|250px|right|thumb|Displeased with the quality of representation the people of the New York's 14th district received from AOC, Queens Council member Badrun Khan filed papers in July 2019 to challenge AOC in the 2020 Democratic primary.]]
Many Democrats in her home district, not just nationwide, were fed up with Ocasio-Cortez long before her freshman year expired. Badrun Khan, who serves on Queens Community Board 2, offered a [[primary election]] challenge for the Democratic nomination to represent New York's 14th district.<ref>https://badrunforcongress.com/</ref> The [[Communist]] mainstream media, which claims a person's private life is nobody's business in the cases of [[Bill Clinton]] and Democrat donor [[Jeffrey Epstein]], published this garbage about another Democrat primary challenger:
{{quotebox|Michelle Caruso-Cabrera holds the title of Chief International Correspondent at [[CNBC]] television. She started appearing regularly on Power Lunch in 2009 in an analyst capacity, as a part of CNBC's extensive market coverage. Before that, she co-hosted the World Exchange program alongside Christine Tan in Asia and Ross Westgate in Europe. She also worked as a reporter for WTSP-TV in St. Petersburg, Florida.
She won an [[Emmy Award]] for a five-part series on children with [[AIDS]]. She also received a Broadcaster of the Year (2004) award from the National Association of Hispanic Journalists. She was married in 1999 and later divorced. She again became engaged in 2015....

Michelle personal life and her career are totally opposite looking towards her bio. There is not any stability of her relationship and married life looking towards her bio and she has not been found successful in her married life. In the college days as well her affair and boyfriends did not have any healthy relationship with her.

This also made her sad and heartbroken. Similarly, after divorce from her husband Paulo Lima she was some sadder and irritated with the issues regarding the matter of relationship. They were married after having a long-term of affair this spouse right after their marriage with regular fights and disputes led them to get a divorce.

Currently, she is living a single life and the rumor about her present boyfriend and their lists and always denied by herself. She mentioned that she is no more interested in the relationship and makes her feel sad all the time.<ref>[https://articlebio.com/michelle-caruso-cabrera Google translation from Spanish]</ref>}}
This personal attack on a well qualified Democratic opponent and graduate of Wellesley College by [[mainstream media]] allies of Ocasio-Cortez must be considered underhanded and [[sexist]], at a minimum.

====Refusal to compromise====
When Republican Senator [[Ted Cruz]] attempted to compromise with the Democrats by agreeing with Ocasio-Cortez on a recent populist uprising by small business investors, Ocasio-Cortez reacted badly to Cruz, falsely accusing him of "attempted murder" because of his challenge of [[Democrat election fraud]] and demanding that he resign his Senate seat, then following that with falsely accusing him of being responsible for the recent suicide of a [[Capitol Police]] officer in the wake of the [[2021 Capitol riot]].<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/01/wow-ted-cruz-reaches-hand-across-aisle-agree-ocasio-cortez-populist-investor-uprising-aoc-bites-off-head-accuses-attempted-murder-tells-resign/ WOW!

====Congressional failure====
Ocasio-Cortez was recently ranked as one of the least effective Democrat lawmakers in Congress in a report by the Center for Effective Lawmaking, which rated her 230th out of 240 House Democrats as well as last among the 19 Democrat lawmakers from New York.<ref>[https://www.oann.com/rep-ocasio-cortez-ranked-one-of-the-least-effective-dem-lawmakers/ Rep. Ocasio-Cortez Ranked One Of The Least Effective Dem Lawmakers]</ref> According to the report, out of 21 bills introduced by AOC during her first congressional term, none of them saw any action in committees or were voted on.

====Reparations====
[[File:Medicare for All.png|right|250px|thumb|The chart brings into perspective the comparative cost of Medicare for All.]]
:{{See also|Nanny state|Welfare state}}
Ocasio-Cortez sees this plan as being a vehicle through which social equality might finally be realized through the use of [[reparations]] to right historical injustices. The final Green New Deal will
{{quotebox-float|"mitigate deeply entrenched racial, regional and gender-based inequalities in income and wealth (including, without limitation, ensuring that federal and other investment will be equitably distributed to historically impoverished, low income, deindustrialized or other marginalized communities in such a way that builds wealth and ownership at the community level)."}}

The plan includes universal income and Medicare for All: The plan, it says, shall
{{quotebox-float|"include additional measures such as [[basic income]] programs, universal health care programs and any others as the select committee may deem appropriate to promote economic security, labor market flexibility and entrepreneurism."}}

The plan also imagines creating governmental support for "transitioning" minority communities. The deal shall:
{{quotebox|"ensure a 'just transition' for all workers, low-income communities, communities of color, indigenous communities, rural and urban communities and the front-line communities most affected by climate change, pollution and other environmental harm including by ensuring that local implementation of the transition is led from the community level."}}

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) has 600 comrades in the [[Twin Cities]] who work closely with Antifa aligned groups. On May 27, 2020 the Twin Cities DSA issued a call on [[Twitter]] asking comrades for supplies at the same intersection where the Auto Zone was burned to the ground kicking off the nationwide riots. Later that evening the [[Marxist]]s tweeted,
{{quotebox-float|"Want to help out your comrades protesting at the 3rd precinct? Here's a good list of much needed supplies."<ref>https://twitter.com/TwinCitiesDSA/status/1265774113693372417</ref>}}
The folks on the ground attached a list and included medical supplies, plywood for shields, anything else useful for shielding from the cops. Private cars were later requested. The tweet read,
{{quotebox-float|"Another big need: if you have a car, some folks may need a quick ride out of the area."}}
The Minneapolis Police 3rd precinct building was evacuated and burnt down that evening. The Twin Cities DSA Ecosocialists Working Group tweeted to comrades,
{{quotebox-float|"Support the ongoing mass [[working-class]] uprising!"}}
On May 28, 2020 the DSA National Political Committee issued a statement in support of the rioters:
{{quotebox|"We the National Political Committee of the Democratic Socialists of America condemn the public execution of [[George Floyd]] at the hands of the Minneapolis Police.

In [[Marxist–Leninist]] and [[Maoist]] theory, a [[United front]] is a [[coalition]] of [[leftist]] organizations that [[collude]] for the purpose of taking over a [[government]]. In the [[116th Congress]], the [[Committees of Correspondence for Democratic Socialism]], Democratic Socialists of America, [[Liberation Road]] (formerly Freedom Road Socialist Organization), and Communist Party of the United States formally created a united front of the nation's four largest Communist organizations to take over the [[Democratic Party]].<ref>https://m.theepochtimes.com/how-57000-socialists-and-communists-plan-to-take-over-the-democratic-party_2654589.html</ref> As of 2018 the umbrella group is known as the [[Left Inside/Outside Project]] (“One foot in the institutions, one foot in the streets.”<ref>https://dsabuild.org/r9-establishing-a-national-antifascist-and-direct-action-working-group</ref>) consisted of 57,000 [[community organizer]]s.<ref>https://organizingupgrade.com/the-left-we-want/</ref> At its August 2019 convention the DSA passed a resolution to form a

Law enforcement authorities found evidence of pre-planning. The ''Minneapolis Star/Tribune'' reported:
{{quotebox-float|state officials said several caches of flammable materials were found both in neighborhoods where there have already been fires and “in cars we’ve stopped as recently as this morning,” said John Harrington, state public safety commissioner. Some of the caches look like they may have been planted days ago and some only in the last 24 hours or so, he said.

Police are also finding stolen vehicles with plates removed that are being used to transport the flammable materials. Looted goods and weapons also have been found in the stolen cars, he said.<ref>https://www.startribune.com/police-arrest-150-driver-who-barreled-into-crowd-held/570908442/?refresh=true</ref>}}
The [[Sunrise Movement]], with established groups in several major cities, has heavily recruited activists from the DSA and Liberation Road affiliated groups, such as the Pennsylvania Student Power Network. Sunrise founding activists are all current trainers with Momentum Community, which is a training workshop funded by millionaires and billionaires to “incubate” supposed "[[grassroots]]" organizations such as Sunrise and the Movimiento Cosecha (Harvest Movement). Democrat millionaire donor and former [[2020 presidential election]] candidate [[Tom Steyer]]'s [[NextGen America]] is also tied to the Sunrise Movement, and according to the ''New York Times'', the two groups “strategize” together.<ref>https://archive.fo/ytfYT</ref>

The DSA itself as of 2020 has 66,000 members nationwide and locals in almost every state. Other communist groups such as Communist Party USA, Liberation Road, [[Socialist Alternative]], Workers World Party, Party for Socialism and Liberation, [[Socialist Unity Party]], and Revolutionary Communist Party and their allies in Black Lives Matter and [[Antifa]] can mobilize tens of thousands of militants and organizing cadre at short notice.

===Cuban oppression===

At the ''[[Cuba#2021_Liberdad_movement|Libertad Movement]]'', AOC blamed [[Cuba]]ns' suffering on the US.<ref>[https://www.nrsc.org/press-releases/val-demings-refuses-to-call-out-the-squad-on-cuba-2021-07-16/ Val Demings Refuses to Call Out the Squad on Cuba], July 16, 2021.
<blockquote>
Washington, D.C – The radical Left is determined to not let up in their outrageous claims that the United States is responsible for the suffering of the Cuban people.

Yesterday, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took to Twitter to point blame at the U.S. and demand an end to the embargo. Former Florida Democrat Congresswoman Debbie Mucarsel-Powell clapped back at AOC and her radical colleagues stating that the plight of the Cuban people is solely the fault of the “failed policies of a communist regime that has violated human rights, imprisoned & killed dissidents.”

But where is Val Demings? She’s nowhere to be found. Demings refuses to call out the radical Left and her Squad pals, even as other Florida Democrats are speaking up.

Statement from NRSC Spokeswoman Priscilla Ivasco: “Once again, when an opportunity to call out the crazies in her own party arises, Congresswoman Val Demings is nowhere to be found. The Squad is blaming America for the plight of the Cuban people and Democrats across Florida are pushing back, except Washington’s favorite Florida Democrat, Val Demings. Does she agree with Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that the United States is to blame for the suffering of the Cuban people? Florida’s Cuban community deserves to know.</blockquote></ref>

===Attitudes towards crimes===
With rising violent crimes under Biden/Harris administration, AOC and other radicals proposed to abolish prisons.<ref>"[https://www.nrcc.org/2021/07/27/kim-sherrill-and-aoc-team-abolish-prisons/ Kim, Sherrill, and AOC: Team Abolish Prisons]." S. Bullock, NRCC, July 27, 2021.</ref>

With rising smash-and-grab wave in Nov, 2021, AOC lyingly said:<ref>Nick Arama, [https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2021/12/05/aoc-claims-those-organized-smash-and-grabs-on-stores-youre-seeing-arent-real-n486985 AOC Claims Those Organized Smash and Grabs on Stores You're Seeing Aren't Real], Red State.com, Dec 5, 2021.<blockquote>
AOC told the Washington Times that “a lot of these allegations of organized retail theft are not actually panning out.” “I believe it’s a Walgreens in California cited it, but the data didn’t back it up,” she said.
Now, she says this in the face of numerous videos and reports of smash and grabs in Democratic cities across the country, in particular a spurt of such criminal actions in California. So, it’s fantasy to deny them.
Republican lawmakers and retailers blasted AOC for denying the obvious.</blockquote ></ref> "Those organized smash and grabs on stores you're seeing aren't real."

==Florida trip==
During the highest record of confirmed cases of the CCP virus, which rose up to nearly 44,000 cases in [[New York]], AOC decided to ignore her constituents and instead took a trip with her boyfriend to [[Miami]]. AOC was spotted dining in Miami Beach, Flo., on Thursday 30 December 2021, the same day that her native New York City reported a record number of COVID-19 cases. Photos obtained by National Review show Ocasio-Cortez seated outside Doraku Sushi and Izakaya in Miami Beach Thursday afternoon, raising a cocktail in one and checking her phone in another without a mask. Hypocritically, she is one who demanded Texas Senator [[Ted Cruz]] to resignation after his trip to Cancun in Mexico during winter disaster in February.<ref>[https://www.nationalreview.com/news/aoc-spotted-in-miami-beach-as-nyc-reports-record-covid-cases/ EXCLUSIVE: AOC Spotted in Miami Beach as NYC Reports Record Covid Cases]</ref> AOC doesn't care for her district, with the majority of her constituents consisting of black and brown people as she cares to please her white boyfriend.

*AOC's habit of failing to engage her brain prior to opening her mouth extends to a difficultly with English language [[idiom]]s. Ocasio-Cortez sarcastically attacked Republicans when she said, "it is impossible to pull oneself up by their bootstraps." A "bootstrap" refers to mounting a horse without assistance. Prior to the invention of metal stirrups, "bootstraps" were made of leather, hence the name "bootstrap". Mounting a horse unassisted is problematic, requiring both shoulder and leg strength, which is how the phrase, "pull yourself up by the bootsraps" came into usage centuries ago. There is an added risk of the horse moving or running away while the rider is in mid-air attempting to mount. Receiving assistance to mount a horse is referred to as "a leg up". The assistant can "extend a hand" while holding the horse's bridle with the other hand to prevent the horse from moving. In the late 20th century the "bootstrap" idiom was shortened to "boot" and borrowed by computer engineers to describe the process of a computer operating system starting on its own after a manual input command, without a "jump start" from another computer, which is now commonly known as "booting" or "boot up."

'''Alexandria "AOC" Ocasio-Cortez''' (born October 13, 1989<ref>Biography.com editors (June 27, 2018). [https://www.biography.com/people/alexandria-ocasio-cortez "Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Biography"]. The Biography.com website (A&E Television Networks, February 8, 2019 ed.)</ref>), is a [[racist]] and [[fascist]] [[Democrat]] representative from [[New York]]'s 14th congressional district. At 28 years old she is the youngest menstruating person ever elected to Congress and is a member of the [[Congressional Progressive Caucus]]. Ocasio-Cortez is an vociferous proponent of the [[democide|murderous]] ideology of [[Socialism]].

AOC has been criticized for her heavy use of [[Marxist]] clichés and racist comments about "token blacks."<ref>https://www.dailywire.com/news/44137/ugly-racist-tweet-ocasio-cortez-slammed-promoting-ryan-saavedra</ref> In 2018, Ocasio-Cortez led a group of insurrectionists in a takeover of [[Speaker Nancy Pelosi]]'s office inside the [[U.S. Capitol]] building.<ref>https://www.westernjournal.com/ocasio-cortez-activists-occupy-nancy-pelosis-office-demand-green-new-deal/</ref> After the [[2020 presidential election]], Ocasio-Cortez incited people to participate in protests:

A leading [[anti-Semite]] and rabble-rouser in the House of Representatives, Ocasio-Cortez refused to tour the [[Auschwitz]] concentration camp with Holocaust survivor Ed Mosberg and slandered those who invited her as "far-right"; Mosberg has called for her removal from Congress.<ref>Two references:

==Background==
Ocasio-Cortez is a [[cultural Marxist]] reared to believe the [[dialectical materialism|dialectical materialist]] view that [[capitalism]] is a transitory phase to socialism in which the planet will be ruled by an enlightened elite of [[anti-democratic]] [[technocrat]]s, should it survive a climate crisis. She believes the Marxist notion that capitalism is an [[ideology]], and not a simple paradigm of fundamental [[economic]] laws. A descendant of [[white]] [[Europe]]ans during the [[Conquistador|Spanish Conquest (''La Conquista'')]] of the [[Western Hemisphere]] who imposed [[colonialism|colonial]] rule and [[cultural hegemony]] over [[Native American]]s and trafficked in the [[Africa]]n slave trade, Ocasio-Cortez now thinks she is an oppressed woman of color.

===Education===
Ocasio-Cortez, who is said to hold degrees in economics and international relations ''cum laude'' from Boston University, is fond of quoting the "the famous economist, Milton Keynes."<ref>https://twitter.com/andurudottext/status/1226270913240256512?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw</ref>

AOC found her first encounter with a garbage disposal baffling.<ref>https://www.tmz.com/2019/05/07/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-garbage-disposal-apartment-scared-blown-away-funny/</ref>

===Rich kid===
Although Ocasio-Cortez pretends to speak for and come from [[poverty]], she grew up in the [[white privilege]]d suburb of Westchester County with a median household income of $83,000 and net worth of $1.2 million – one of the highest in the country. Westchester County is the home of the [[Clinton]] and [[Rockefeller]] estates.<ref>https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5905247/amp/Girl-Bronx-Alexandria-Ocasio-Cortez-actually-grew-wealthy-Westchester-County.html</ref>

Ocasio-Cortez founded Brook Avenue Press in 2012 which never published any books.<ref>https://youtu.be/-pFAayEMqDM</ref> The state Taxation Department dissolved the company in 2016 and issued a warrant for thousands of dollars in unpaid taxes.<ref>https://nypost.com/2019/03/09/company-founded-by-ocasio-cortez-in-2012-still-owes-1870-in-taxes/</ref>

In 2018 Ocasio-Cortez's mother fled New York for [[Florida]] because of high [[tax]]es. She told reporters: {{quotebox|"I was paying $10,000 a year in real estate taxes up north. I'm paying $600 a year in Florida. It's stress-free down here."<ref>https://freebeacon.com/politics/ocasio-cortezs-mom-left-new-york-because-of-high-taxes/</ref>}}

After her election to Congress, Ocasio-Cortez moved into a luxury apartment that does not offer affordable housing – despite the fact that affordable housing was an important part of her campaign platform.<ref>Goodman, Alana (February 19, 2019).

====Why the worst get on top====
[[File:Instructions to japanese.png|right|200px|thumb|FDR interned American citizens in mass incarceration camps based on their racial origin.]]
Economist [[F.A. Hayek]] explained the rise of figures such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in a chapter of the ''[[The Road to Serfdom]]'':
{{quotebox|If a numerous group is needed, strong enough to impose their views on the values of life on all the rest, it will never be those with highly differentiated and developed tastes it will be those who form the "mass" in the derogatory sense of the term, the least original and independent, who will be able to put the weight of their numbers behind their particular ideals. ... he[/she] will be able to obtain the support of all the docile and gullible, who have no strong convictions of their own but are prepared to accept a ready-made system of values if it is only drummed into their ears sufficiently loudly and frequently. It will be those whose vague and imperfectly formed ideas are easily swayed and whose passions and emotions are readily aroused who will thus swell the ranks of the [[single party control|totalitarian party]]. It is in connection with the deliberate effort of the skillful [[demagogue]] to weld together a closely coherent and homogeneous body of supporters that the third and perhaps most important negative element of selection enters. It seems to be almost a law of human nature that it is easier for people to agree on a negative programme, on the hatred of an enemy, on the [[envy]] of those better off, than on any positive task. The contrast between the "we" and the "they", the common fight against those outside the group, seems to be an essential ingredient in any creed which will solidly knit together a group for common action. It is consequently always employed by those who seek, not merely support of a policy, but the unreserved allegiance of huge masses. From their point of view it has the great advantage of leaving them greater freedom of action than almost any positive programme. The enemy, whether he be internal like the "[[Jew]]" or the "[[Kulak]]", or external, seems to be an indispensable requisite in the armoury of a totalitarian leader. That in Germany it was the Jew who became the enemy till his place was taken by the "[[Plutocracy|plutocracies]]" was no less a result of the anti-capitalist resentment on which the whole movement was based than the selection of the Kulak in [[Russia]]. In [[Germany]] and [[Austria]] the Jew had come to be regarded as the representative of [[capitalism]] because a traditional dislike of large classes of the population for commercial pursuits had left these more readily accessible to a group that was practically excluded from the more highly esteemed occupations.<ref>https://fee.org/resources/the-road-to-serfdom-chapter-10-why-the-worst-get-on-top/</ref>}}
AOC wants to turn the Democratic party into "the party of [[FDR]]," who threw [[Japan]]ese-American [[citizen]]s, born in America, guilty of nothing, into concentration camps and opposed the Republican-backed [[Anti-lynching law]].<ref>https://dcdirtylaundry.com/what-is-she-smokin-aoc-wants-to-bring-the-dems-back-to-fdr-days-complete-with-internment-camps/</ref> A ''[[Wall Street Journal]]'' op-ed noted that Ocasio-Cortez
{{quotebox|leads a generation of young people to take pride in their ignorance—of the laws of nature, of history, of the Constitution, of the eternal battle for freedom—and still succeed.}}
Like many other leftwing cultists who glorify the accomplishments of New Dealers in the 1940s, few realize the boys who [[Normandy Invasion|stormed the beaches at Normandy]] to defend democracy and defeat fascism were virtually all [[heterosexual]] white men - whom liberals demonize today - as the U.S. Armed Services were segregated by race and blacks denied frontline combat roles until 1947, and [[homosexual]]s were banned until 1993.

====Liberal elitism====
[[File:Aoc-margarita-mix-instagram-video.jpg|right|200px|thumb|AOC describes the U.S. as a "brutal, barbarian society" while teaching her online Instagram followers how to mix a Margarita.<ref>https://www.newsweek.com/aoc-calls-us-brutal-society-video-while-making-margarita-conservative-critics-mock-1496145</ref>]]
During the communist induced [[coronavirus]] [[pandemic]] while America was on lockdown Ocasio-Cortez uploaded to [[Instagram]] a video demonstrating how to mix a Margarita alcoholic drink while lecturing her followers about how the federal government needs to do more. Video transcript:
{{quotebox-float|We need to be really blowing up our elected officials offices and demanding relief because they want to continue to get away with doing far too little. And this in this moment. There's no such thing as doing too much. I mean honestly, have you ever had a place in your life where the federal government did too much for you? Where they gave you too much? Never happened to me. I've never seen that in my life. But anyways, okay... so we got two ounces of lime juice... just putting that in here and filled it up with some rice. And here's my little ingredient for Margaritas that I like. You know, put a little stank on it. I use some pineapple juice and some triple sec.

===Racism===
A Black man approached Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez indicating he’d like his picture taken with her. She was all smiles and eager to oblige when he claimed to have driven an hour to see her, and posed for a picture with him. When the Black man informed her that he was a journalist with ''[[Project Veritas]]''” the words barely escaped his lips when she jumped back and her handlers swooped in.<ref>https://twitter.com/Cernovich/status/1420570005393924103</ref>

==117th Congress==

{{See also|117th Congress}}
AOC claimed the [[Deep State coup 2.0|impeachment of Donald Trump]] was the only issue uniting Democrats in Congress, putting aside the differences between radical socialists and alleged moderates, and that's why uniformly they chose to do a [[kamikaze]] dive.<ref>https://news.yahoo.com/aoc-says-impeachment-necessary-unite-142706386.html</ref>

===Smash and grab===
AOC denied that the Democrat crime wave of the Biden era was happening, despite homicide being at a 30 year high. Democrat no-cash bail policies released criminal offenders back on the street to re-offend. Democrat prosecutors in Democrat cities refused to prosecute crime, unless the resulting press coverage could further their career ambitions.

===Green New Deal===

{{See also|Marxism|Global warming}}
The [[junk science]] behind the [[Green New Deal]] was embraced by virtually all [[2020 presidential election|2020 Democratic presidential candidates]]. For example, that Medicare for All, a guaranteed income and minimum wage increase, unionization, killing all cows and destroying the airline and automotive industries would save the planet from final destruction before the year 2030.

Ocasio-Cortez was not named by Speaker Pelosi to her brainchild, the [[House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis]], which was negotiated in exchange for Ocasio-Cortez not voting against Pelosi for Speaker. The new committee is responsible for creating a plan with draft legislation by January 1, 2020. Its scope and mandate makes clear its vision:
{{quotebox-float|"The select committee shall have authority to develop a detailed national, industrial, economic mobilization plan for the transition of the United States economy to become greenhouse gas emissions neutral and to significantly draw down greenhouse gases from the atmosphere and oceans and to promote economic and [[environmental justice]] and equality."}} The Green New Deal advances non-environmental projects, such as,
{{quotebox-float|"social, economic, [[racial]], regional and gender-based justice."<ref>https://news.grabien.com/story-ocasio-cortezs-green-new-deal-radical-mandate-government-con</ref>}}
Ocasio-Cortez's claims it will eliminate [[poverty]]:
{{quotebox-float|"The Plan for a Green New Deal (and the draft legislation) shall recognize that a national, industrial, economic mobilization of this scope and scale is a historic opportunity to virtually eliminate poverty in the [[United States]] and to make prosperity, wealth and economic security available to everyone participating in the transformation."}}

The Green New Deal was introduced as H.Res.109 on February 7, 2019, by Ocasio-Cortez,<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20190208215631/https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5729035/Green-New-Deal-FAQ.pdf</ref> leading many to believe she is really a Republican plant seeking to discredit the [[progressive movement]]. The bill says nothing about wildfire management and National Parks maintenance.

Separately, Ocasio-Cortez has claimed that an effective climate plan would have to cost at least $10 trillion.<ref>Elis, Niv (June 5, 2019). [https://thehill.com/policy/finance/447077-ocasio-cortez-10-trillion-needed-for-effective-climate-plan Ocasio-Cortez: $10 trillion needed for effective climate plan]. ''The Hill''. Retrieved June 5, 2019.</ref>

====If you like lockdown, you'll love the Green New Deal====
{{See also|CCP global pandemic}}
In an editorial published by the ''Washington Examiner'' entitled "If you like the pandemic lockdown, you're going to love the 'Green New Deal'", the editors wrote:
[[File:JD Sunrise GND Rez 84H11SCoSponsors Announce 1200x1200 021318.png|right|350px|thumb|84 House Democrats and 11 Democrat Senators sponsored the New Green Deal; the proposal killed 25,000 jobs the first week.<ref>https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/14/politics/amazon-aoc-democrats-future/index.html</ref>]]
{{quotebox-float|When socialist darling Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez first floated her “Green New Deal,” it was an intangible vision for [[society]] rather than a concrete policy proposal. Even after the New York Democrat and her acolytes added details (including a ban on airplanes and flatulent cows) in a voluminous range of policies costing an astounding $93 trillion, the idea of running the economy without fossil fuels seemed unthinkable.

Now, however, thanks to the [[pandemic]] lockdown of society, the public is in a position to judge what the “Green New Deal” revolution would look like. It's like redoing this global pandemic and economic slump every year.

Environmental activists say the silver lining of the lockdown is that carbon emissions will drop by nearly 6% globally this year because of reduced travel and industrial emissions. Climate hawks such as Ocasio-Cortez call for this level of reduction every year. The United Nations Environment Programme goes even further, demanding 7.6% each year to stave off climate change.

“This is what ‘rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society’ looks like,” prominent climate activist Eric Holthaus wrote on Twitter. “We're doing it. It's possible!”

“That's the whole point of a Green New Deal,” he continued. “We can build a better world for everyone out of the ashes of the old one.”

Ocasio-Cortez, incorrectly pointing to falling oil prices as a boon to green energy, agrees that the coronavirus shutdown reflects her vision of a climate change solution.

This is intellectually unimpressive, but at least it's honest. The socialist greens acknowledge that the meltdown and shutdown we're enduring (with gritted teeth) is what their climate agenda entails. They're right.

A whopping 26 million people have filed for unemployment benefits in the past five weeks. The economy is in free fall. People are miserable. Domestic abuse and [[mental health]] indicators are getting worse. But hey, at least we're almost getting the carbon reductions the green extremists say we need.

Obviously, Ocasio-Cortez and other green dreamers don't want people dead or depressed, but these are the implications of their carbon-free agenda. It entails suffering that gets worse as time goes by. Voters who weren't instantly repelled by the plan's fiscal obscenity and rejection of [[freedom]] are now getting a taste of what the militant socialist agenda would actually mean.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/editorials/if-you-like-the-pandemic-lockdown-youre-going-to-love-the-green-new-deal</ref>}}

====De-industrialization====

Ocasio-Cortez's plan calls for, within 10 years a
{{Quotebox|
*national, energy-efficient, smart grid;
*Upgrading every residential and industrial building for state-of-the-art energy efficiency, comfort and safety;
*Eliminating greenhouse gas emissions from the manufacturing, agricultural and other industries as well as from America’s transportation and infrastructure network, the sort of legislation that provoked the [[Yellow Vest movement]];
*Funding "massive investment" in reducing existing greenhouse gasses.}}

The new committee will have total oversight of American industry, with a mandate for pushing union membership. Under “Scope of the Plan,” a section on labor states the committee's final plan shall:
{{quotebox|"Require strong enforcement of labor, workplace safety, and wage standards that recognize the rights of workers to organize and unionize free of coercion, intimidation, and harassment, and creation of meaningful, quality, career employment."}}

====Free money====
:{{See also|Nanny state|Welfare state}}
The plan calls for "economic security for all who are unable or unwilling to work." [[Abraham Lincoln]] defined [[slavery]] in this way: “You work; I’ll eat.” In his Chicago speech of July 10, 1858, Lincoln put it slightly differently, “You toil and I will enjoy the fruits of it.”

The plan calls for creating a national jobs force to help people participate in this "transition." The Green New Deal shall
{{quotebox|"provide all members of our society, across all regions and all communities, the opportunity, training and education to be a full and equal participant in the transition, including through a job guarantee program to assure a living wage job to every person who wants one."}}

The dirty little secret about the [[global warming hoax]] is that it's not [[Dick Cheney]], [[Halliburton]] and [[capitalism]] destroying the planet with carbon emissions, but rather American's beef-eating habits and reliance on dairy products. As population grows, dairy cow and slaughter beef herds get bigger. One cow gives off more methane gas daily than an automobile at a [[McDonald's]] drive thru.<ref>https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/should-plant-based-meat-replace-beef-completely</ref> Ocasio-Cortez wants to do away with factory farms in favor of a [[collective]].

A [[vegan]] couple from [[Florida]] who were weaning their four young children off of [[beef]] on a strict diet of raw [[vegetable]]s and [[fruit]] were charged with [[manslaughter]] and child neglect charges for allegedly starving their 18-month-old son to death. At 18-months-old their son was the weight of an average 7-month-old.<ref>https://www.news-press.com/story/news/crime/2019/11/12/malnourished-toddler-weighed-17-lbs-time-death-family-vegan-sheila-oleary-ryan-oleary-cape-coral/2577087001/</ref>

====Eliminate cars====
The plan calls for :
{{quotebox|"Totally overhaul transportation by massively expanding electric vehicle manufacturing, build charging stations everywhere, build out high-speed rail at a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary, create affordable public transit available to all, with goal to replace every combustion-engine vehicle}} while at the same time :
{{quotebox|"A Green New Deal ... would not include creating new nuclear plants. It’s unclear if we will be able to decommission every nuclear plant within 10 years, but the plan is to transition off of nuclear and all fossil fuels as soon as possible,"}} essentially "build charging stations everywhere" without a power source while looking to decommission existing power sources.
The Congressional Research Service says automobile electrification will disrupt the automotive parts supply chain,.<ref>https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/IF11101.pdf</ref>
The proposal doesn't spell out if "massively expanding electric vehicle manufacturing" supports President Trump's trade war with oversees automobile manufacturers, or if the jobs will go to [[China]] to achieve the Democrats' plan to create "a job for anyone who wants one."

====Corporate greed====
Green New Deal advocates claimed their first victory by killing [[Amazon.com|Amazon]]'s plan to bring its main headquarters to New York and create 25,000 jobs with wages averaging $150,000. Elizabeth Warren and Ocasio-Cortez took credit for killing the deal. Rep. [[Carolyn Maloney]] of New York, who supports the Green New Deal, was livid with her fellow [[communist]]s.<ref>https://youtu.be/nnVS-Zah54k</ref>

[[CNN]] reported the fight over Amazon is the fight for the future of the [[Democratic Party]].<ref>https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/14/politics/amazon-aoc-democrats-future/index.html</ref> Ocasio-Cortez tweeted:
{{quotebox|"Anything is possible: today was the day a group of dedicated, everyday New Yorkers & their neighbors defeated Amazon's corporate [[greed]], its worker exploitation, and the power of the richest man in the world."}}
Amazon was promised up to $1.5 billion in tax abatements in exchange for the promise of creating 25,000 jobs averaging $150,000 per year. Ocasio-Cortez believes a tax abatement is a bucket of cash the government can spend on subways or teachers.

====Ignores Paygo provision====
[[File:010318venezuela.jpg|right|300px|thumb|'''Venezualans eating garbage.''' Venezuela, a once prosperous country with oil surpluses, adopted free healthcare as a "right" in 1999.]]
The Green New Deal would be paid for by the [[Federal Reserve]] printing more money which Ocasio-Cortez claims is "[[morality|morally right]]".
{{Quotebox-float|"The Federal Reserve can extend credit to power these projects and investments, new public banks can be created (as in [[WWII]]) to extend credit and a combination of various taxation tools (including taxes on carbon and other emissions and progressive wealth taxes) can be employed."}}
This proposal violates the House [[Paygo]] provision, which mandates all new spending proposals must carry with them cuts in programs for existing constituencies, or proposals for tax increases to offset added spending. Ocasio-Cortez's Medicare for All proposal, which Bernie Sanders and Nancy Pelosi both claim to support, adds spending more than two times America's Gross Domestic Product,<ref>https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-07-30/study-medicare-for-all-bill-estimated-at-32-6-trillion</ref> making the Medicare for All provision a fantasy, Ocasio-Cortez a simpleton, and Pelosi and Sanders bald face liars to stupid people. Paygo is Pelosi's own rule that she herself formulated as [[Speaker of the House]]. Pelosi later tried to back away from the lip service she paid to portions of the Green New Deal to get elected Speaker, "The green dream or whatever they call it, nobody knows what it is, but they’re for it, right?’"

Former Federal Reserve chairman [[Alan Greenspan]], who nurtured two of the longest economic recoveries in American history, thinks Ocasio-Cortez's plan for a 70% tax rate is a "terrible idea."<ref>https://www.cnbc.com/2019/01/07/alan-greenspan-thinks-the-ocasio-cortez-70percent-tax-plan-is-a-terrible-idea.html</ref>

====Committee subpoena power====
Select committees typically have [[subpoena]] power. Members could presumably wield subpoenas to investigate oil and gas companies. No sooner than the vote for Speaker was taken, Pelosi's flunky [[Steny Hoyer]] moved to strip the new select committee's subpoena power. Hoyer has accepted more than a quarter of a million dollars from the fossil fuel industry.

====Environmentalist reaction====

[[Patrick Moore]], co-founder of [[Greenpeace]], said of Ocasio-Cortez and the plan:
{{Quotebox-float|Pompous little twit. You don’t have a plan to grow food for 8 billion people without fossil fuels, or get the [[food]] into the cities. Horses?

====Confrontation by Marjorie Taylor Greene====
On May 12, 2021, Georgia Republican representative [[Marjorie Taylor Greene]] confronted Ocasio-Cortez outside the House chamber over the latter's refusal to debate Greene about the Green New Deal, as well as calling Ocasio-Cortez out for her support of Antifa and other terrorist groups. Ocasio-Cortez refused to talk to Greene and walked away, after which Greene accused her of cowardice and called her a chicken for not wanting to debate her.<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/05/marjorie-taylor-greene-confronts-chicken-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-outside-house-chamber-aoc-spox-calls-congress-safe-space-mtg/ Marjorie Taylor Greene Confronts “Chicken” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Outside House Chamber, AOC Spox Calls for Congress to Be a’ Safe Space’ from MTG] at the Gateway Pundit</ref> In response, liberals went into [[snowflake]] mode on Greene as some on Twitter defended Ocasio-Cortez, accusing Greene of "...(creating) a hostile work environment" and making other outlandish and false accusations against her, while Nancy Pelosi called for an ethics investigation of Greene based on specious claims of "verbal assault and abuse" and falsely claimed that Greene's peaceful confrontation of AOC was a "cause for trauma and fear among Members" and also falsely accused her of being "...a belligerent person not in control of themselves",<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/05/pelosi-calls-ethics-investigation-marjorie-taylor-greene-verbal-assault-abuse-aoc-cause-trauma-fear-among-members/ Pelosi Calls for Ethics Investigation of Marjorie Taylor Greene for ‘Verbal Assault and Abuse of AOC’, a ‘Cause of Trauma and Fear Among Members’] at the Gateway Pundit</ref><ref name="Bartender AOC">[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/05/bartender-aoc-mtg-kinds-people-threw-bars-time/ Bartender AOC on MTG: “These Are the Kinds of People That I Threw Out of Bars All the Time”] at the Gateway Pundit</ref> and Ocasio-Cortez herself tried to save face when speaking with reporters following the incident by claiming in a bravado-filled statement that in her bartending days, Greene was "...the (kind) of people that I threw out of bars all the time", then played the race card by falsely accusing Greene of being a "white supremacist";<ref name="Bartender AOC"/> Greene responded to AOC's comments by likening her to a child in how she handled the situation.

:{{Main article|116th United States Congress}}
Upon election, Ocasio-Cortez began [[panhandling]] the public claiming that she did not have enough cash to meet personal living expenses.<ref>https://amp.usatoday.com/amp/1940870002</ref> Two months later, the Democrat leadership assigned her to the Financial Services Committee.

Before being "inaugurated" (her words) Ocasio-Cortez tweeted "Next time we have a gov shutdown, Congressional salaries should be furloughed as well. It’s completely unacceptable that members of Congress can force a government shutdown on [[partisan]] lines & then have Congressional salaries exempt from that decision." After being sworn in during a shutdown, Ocasio-Cortez gleefully collected her paycheck.

Ocasio-Cortez raised $1.8 million in a district where she received 78% of the vote, meaning she has plenty of cash to dole out to other Democrat House members to buy their support, loyalty, and favors.<ref>https://www.opensecrets.org/races/summary?cycle=2018&id=NY14</ref> Her Republican opponent spent $1935 on the election.

After her outrageous demagoguery over [[concentration camp]]s and support for antisemitism, Ocasio-Cortez then claimed illegal migrants were forced to drink toilet water to drum up more personal attention. Ironically, Ocasio-Cortez voted against a Democrat-sponsored bill that would have provided humanitarian relief for the border crisis which Democrats claimed was manufactured, then threw a fit when the Senate rejected the bill she herself voted against.<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2019/06/28/ocasio-cortez-senate-mcconnell-house-border-bill-tapper/</ref>

'''NeverNancy movement'''

Ocasio-Cortez took part in the Dump Pelosi Movement and led protests into Pelosi's Capitol Hill office where 150 people were arrested. In exchange for her vote for Pelosi as Speaker, Pelosi threw the progressives a bone by promising the establishment of a new select committee on a [[Green New Deal]], a plan to radically transform the economy.

At the very moment [[California]] was consumed by the worst wildfires in history, Ocasio-Cortez led a mob of [[tree hugger]]s in a takeover of Speaker Nancy Pelosi's Capitol Hill office.

The wildfires killed scores of people and left tens of thousands homeless. The fires were fueled by bad forestry management and a failure to remove dead trees.

===2018 primary===
Ocasio-Cortez defeated [[incumbent]] Democrat Joe Crowley in the 2018 nominating [[primary]] for [[New York]]'s 14th congressional district carrying 56% of the vote with a 12% turnout. Primary victory is tantamount to general election victory in this district, meaning less than 17,000 people voted for her in district of over 700,000 inhabitants, yet the media proclaimed her as representative of a generation.<ref>https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2018/07/19/opinions/democrats-need-reform-new-york-primary-weaver/index.html</ref> Rep.

Crowley had been the leading contender to succeed [[Nancy Pelosi]] as Speaker.<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2018/07/30/soros-uygur-ocasio-cortez/</ref> Having defeated Pelosi's successor, the Democrats had no one to succeed Pelosi and Pelosi stayed on for another term.

===Ethics violations and abuse of power===
Before taking office, Ocasio-Cortez was embroiled in allegations of violating House Ethics Rules and federal law. Ocasio-Cortez threatened a private citizen and political opponent with [[subpoena]]s and investigation. The House Rules Manual states, {{quotebox|“Members…are not to take or withhold any official action on the basis of the campaign contributions or support of the involved individuals, or their partisan affiliation. Members and staff are likewise prohibited from threatening punitive action on the basis of such considerations.”<ref>[https://ethics.house.gov/sites/ethics.house.gov/files/documents/2008_House_Ethics_Manual.pdf Page 150]</ref>}} What's more, Ocasio-Cortez may have violated 42 [[U.S. Code]] § 1983 – Civil action for deprivation of rights: {{quotebox|"Every person who, under color of any [[statute]], ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage, of any State or Territory or the [[District of Columbia]], subjects, or causes to be subjected, any [[citizen]] of the United States or other person within the jurisdiction thereof to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the [[Constitution]] and [[law]]s, shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law, suit in equity, or other proper proceeding for redress, except that in any action brought against a judicial officer for an act or omission taken in such officer’s judicial capacity, injunctive relief shall not be granted unless a declaratory decree was violated or declaratory relief was unavailable. For the purposes of this section, any Act of Congress applicable exclusively to the District of Columbia shall be considered to be a statute of the District of Columbia." (R.S. § 1979; Pub. L. 96–170, § 1, Dec. 29, 1979, 93 Stat. 1284; Pub. L. 104–317, title III, § 309(c), Oct. 19, 1996, 110 Stat. 3853.)<ref>https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/42/1983</ref>}}

Ocasio-Cortez made protecting the working class and the poor her top priority. A week after being sworn in ("inaugurated" in her words), it was reported that her campaign had been fined for failure to pay state-mandated workers compensation coverage for campaign workers. She paid a $1500 fine, which of course was less than the cost of complying with the law.<ref>https://www.syracuse.com/politics/2019/01/ny-fines-ocasio-cortezs-campaign-for-failing-to-carry-workers-comp-coverage.html Even though a fine can equal the cost of back payments, it does not include interest and penalties or the labor cost of accounting and legal fees to insure compliance.</ref>

The Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT) filed a complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics over Ocasio-Cortez' use of taxpayer dollars to raise campaign funds.<ref> C.

====Justice Democrats====
[[File:The face of socialism.jpg|right|300px|thumb|AOC: The Face of Socialism.<ref>https://www.yourcentralvalley.com/news/local-news/this-is-the-face-of-socialism-elizabeth-hengs-new-pac-ad-targets-ocasio-cortez/</ref>]]
Ocasio-Cortez and her [[chief of staff]] Saikat Chakrabarti obtained majority control of [[Justice Democrats|Justice Democrats PAC]] in December 2017. Justice Democrats PAC raised more than $1.8 million before her June 2018 primary. Ocasio-Cortez never reported to the [[Federal Election Commission]] that she and Chakrabarti, who served as her campaign chair, controlled the PAC while it paid money to her 2018 campaign committee.

Justice Democrats stated on its website from December 2017 until late February 2019 that Ocasio-Cortez and Chakrabarti held “legal control” of Justice Democrats PAC,<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20171225015602/https://www.justicedemocrats.com/about Justice Democrats: Democrats that Represent the People] (2017)</ref> and the two still serve on the three-member board of Justice Democrats.

Ocasio-Cortez's campaign and Justice Democrats raised a combined $4.6 million during the [[2018 midterm election]] cycle,

[[Armenian genocide|Armenian holocaust]] denier [[Cenk Uygur]] was forced from the board of Justice Democrats for what Chakrabarti called “extremely disturbing [[sexist]] and [[racist]] statements" in December 2017,<ref>https://twitter.com/justicedems/status/944356205476106240/photo/1</ref><ref>https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/justice-democrats-ousts-cenk-uygur_us_5a3eb4d1e4b025f99e178181</ref> followed by Kyle Kulinski of the ''Young Turks'' who quit the same month. Justice Democrats then reported that Ocasio-Cortez and Chakrabarti were “governors” of the organization in a document submitted to the Washington, D.C., Department of Consumer & Regulatory Affairs on March 28, 2018. A third listed governor was the PAC's treasurer, Nasim Thompson.<ref>https://dailycaller.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Justice-Democrats-two-year-report-March-28-2018.jpg</ref>

====Brand New Congress====
A [[Federal Election Commission]] complaint was filed alleging money laundering campaign donations to her boyfriend. Early on, her website was a redirect page for the group [[Brand New Congress]], archives in the [[Wayback Machine]] show.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20170828110100/https://ocasio2018.com/ Brand New Congress home page via ocasio2018 .com]</ref>

Brand New Congress paid Ocasio-Cortez's live-in boyfriend money in excess of campaign contribution limits.<ref>https://www.dailywire.com/news/44095/ocasio-cortez-hit-fec-complaint-alleging-she-ryan-saavedra</ref> Ocasio-Cortez had her boyfriend on her Congressional payroll staff after she took office.

Ocasio-Cortez' boyfriend, Riley Roberts, worked in home improvements and has no record or knowledge of working on a campaign. As Ocasio-Cortez' live-in boyfriend, the circular flow of cash from donors to Brand New Congress PAC, to Brand New Congress LLC, to Riley Roberts - a cohabitator with Ocasio-Cortez - appears to be a conversion of campaign finances for personal use and gain.<ref>https://pjmedia.com/trending/ocasio-cortez-boyfriend-troubles-reveal-the-corruption-at-the-heart-of-her-campaign/</ref> She appears to have emolumated herself with progressive donor's cash.

====Fundraising====
Ocasio-Cortez is a case study in what is wrong with campaign finance laws. Cortez sits in a safe district, meaning she was virtually elected in the primary. The [[liberal media]] turned her into a fundraising magnet - for money she didn't need in a district she ran in virtually unopposed.

Campaign "war chests," as they are called, are not to be used for the candidate's personal enrichment. Some candidates raise more money than they need, others have difficulty attracting donations even in their own districts, let alone from outside [[lobbyist]]s in [[Washington]]. Under existing regulations, candidates and members are free to donate to each other. Congresspeople become laundry machines for disguised donors. Instead of a member taking bribes from outside interests, they are "owned" by a fellow member, where any pretense of equality between the people's elected representatives is a charade. At 29 years old, Ocasio-Cortez was already barnstorming across the country raising nearly $900,000 and helping other Democrats get elected,<ref>https://m.newstimes.com/news/article/Democratic-socialists-are-conquering-the-left-13146775.php</ref> for which they are indebted to her, before she was even elected.<ref>https://www.politico.com/story/2019/01/16/justice-democrats-primary-challenges-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-1106911</ref>

A Daily Caller News Foundation analysis of FEC records found only 10 people who live in her district were recorded making donations to her reelection campaign in 2019.<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2019/08/13/ocasio-cortez-district-fec/</ref>

====Saikat Chakrabarti====
[[Saikat Chakrabarti]] is Rep. Ocasio-Cortez's chief of staff and managed her 2018 campaign. Chakrabarti regularly can be seen posing in a T-shirt emblazoned with the image of a [[Nazi]] collaborator from [[India]] who fought with the Germans against [[colonialism]] in the [[British Empire]].

Chakrabarti and Ocasio-Cortez held majority control of Justice Democrats up to February 2019. Justice Democrats appears to be a [[money-laundering]] operation for illegal campaign donations.

Additionally, Chakrabarti has been accused of funneling $1 million to two companies he controlled in a complaint filed by the National Legal and Policy Center with the FEC. According to the Brand New Congress website, the PAC would build a "unified campaign" infrastructure including fundraising, organizing, rallies, and advertising progressive congressional candidates across the country could "plug into," saving the individual campaigns time and money.

In 2016 and 2017, Chakrabarti's PACs raised about $3.3 million for the project, primarily from small donors. During this time, the committees transferred over $1 million to two shell companies controlled by Chakrabarti with names similar to one of the PACs, Brand New Campaign LLC and Brand New Congress LLC, according to federal election filings.

A few weeks after starting the Brand New Congress PAC, Chakrabarti formed one of the companies, Brand New Campaign LLC, in Delaware, using a registered agent service and mailbox-only address.

Over the next seven months, as small-dollar political donations poured into the PAC from progressives across the country, the committee transferred over $200,000, 82 percent of the contributions, to the company Brand New Campaign LLC. The payments were for "strategic consulting," according to federal election filings. They were sent to an apartment address listed for Chakrabarti in the Greenwich Village area of Manhattan.

In 2017, Brand New Congress PAC transferred another $240,000 to Brand New Congress LLC, also for "strategic consulting." Another PAC co-founded by Chakrabarti that year, Justice Democrats, transferred an additional $605,000 to Brand New Congress LLC in 2017.

Brand New Congress LLC does not appear to be registered in any state, according to state government records available online.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/ocasio-cortezs-chief-of-staff-ran-1m-slush-fund-by-diverting-campaign-cash-to-his-own-companies</ref>

Chakrabarti's ideas are basically to replicate a European-style party system in America, eliminate [[grassroots]] politics, and dole out cash from a central authority to candidates who meet an ideological litmus test - pro-[[infanticide]], [[2nd Amendment]] repeal, a communist single-payer healthcare system, [[transgenderism]], print money for a guaranteed income, [[inflation]], eliminate factory farming and promote [[veganism]], etc.

Chakrabarti accused fellow Democrats and moderates of being racists, tweeting "They certainly seem hell-bent to do to black and brown people today what the old Southern Democrats did in the 40s.”<ref>https://twitter.com/mattdizwhitlock/status/1144387728831909889</ref>

Two weeks after former Obama Chief of Staff and Chicago Mayor [[Rahm Emanuel]] referred to Chakrabarti as "a snot nosed punk" for posting on Twitter racist comments about Rep.[[Sharice Davids]], the first [[Native American]] woman elected to Congress, Chakrabarti resigned under a cloud of federal investigations.<ref>https://lauraloomer.us/2019/08/04/ocasio-cortezs-chief-of-staff-faces-federal-investigation-amid-sudden-resignation/</ref> AOC's press staff announced he resigned to work with the [[fascist]] organization [[New Consensus]].<ref>https://theintercept.com/2019/08/02/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-saikat-chakrabarti-corbin-trent/</ref>

====Living wage rule====
Ocasio-Cortez capped her office salaries at $80,000 which disguises her chief of staff and senior employees outside income and protects them from complying public transparency laws that require disclosure of all sources of income, gifts, and stock trading activity. Called a “living wage” rule, she pays staff members a minimum of $52,000 a year ($1000 per week) and a maximum of $80,000 a year ($1500 per week).

Under federal law, congressional employees who earn more than $126,000 a year — which includes most chiefs of staff — must submit public financial disclosure forms that detail outside income they earn, stock investments, debt, and gifts or paid trips that they are given by outside sources.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/aoc-living-wage-rules-allow-her-staff-to-dodge-financial-disclosure-laws</ref>

====[[Dark money]] scam====
While [[Bernie Sanders]] was still competing in the Democratic primaries during the Spring of 2016, Brand New Congress was set up to continue the nationwide fundraising effort from small donors beyond the 2016 election. The stated goal was to collect money at a central collection point, recruit candidates nationwide who adhere to a socialist/communist litmus test and provide the resources necessary to conduct congressional campaigns. The recruits would concentrate on miming Marxist talking points and be relieved of the all legal, financial, promotional, and public relations details that grassroots candidates traditionally had to master.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvGtVu8gmtg</ref>

These small money donations collected by the non-profit Brand New Congress organization, and later Justice Democrats, were then paid to private for-profit Limited Liability Companies owned by Saikat Chakrabarti as "strategic consulting fees." Being private entities, Chakrabarti's private companies are not subject to reporting requirements to the FEC on how the money is spent. In one such incident, Ocasio-Cortez's live-in boyfriend was paid and later given a staff position in her Congressional office.

The districts targeted were held by incumbent Democrats who lacked the [[cultural Marxist]] ideological purity Democratic Socialists demand. The main goal of Justice Democrats and Brand New Congress is an extremist and [[far left]] take over of the Democratic party.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1h5iv6sECGU</ref>

Given all existing facts and circumstances, that is the only way the "richest country in the world" could afford to provide free healthcare, tuition, and housing for all Americans.

====On the issues====
:{{See also|Race baiting}}
Ocasio-Cortez is a staunch proponent of unlimited [[public debt]] and [[bankrupt]]ing the public treasury. Her advocacy of [[Medicare for All]], free college tuition and housing would cost $42 Trillion, more than two times America's total output by labor, or [[GDP]], experts say.<ref>https://www.vox.com/platform/amp/the-big-idea/2018/8/7/17658574/democratic-socialism-cost-medicare-college-sanders-deficits-taxes</ref> Her solution to cover the lack of resources to fulfill her program is for the Federal Reserve Board to print more currency. She has proposed a universal [[basic income]] (UBI) for those, in her words, "unwilling to work."

The [[United States]] has the world's largest economic output at $19 Trillion with 6% of the [[planet]]'s population producing 25% of the planet's total economic output by labor. In an interview with Chris Cuomo of [[CNN]], Ocasio-Cortez gave no indication of understanding or proposals on how to increase total U.S. GDP by over 200%. Neither did she address the doubling rate of increased [[Greenhouse gas|carbon emission]]s necessary to produce the $42 Trillion to fulfill any of her proposals. She has proposed increasing the tax rate for high-earning Americans to 70%, a rate that is even higher than in modern socialist countries.<ref>Morabito, Angela (January 9, 2019).

Historically, Democrats always passed minimum wage increases in tandem with their own pay increases, a not very new or transformational idea that Ocasio-Cortez made her own upon taking office.

====Apocalyptic premonitions====

<center><big>{{days until|2029|12|31}} Days Until Final Destruction of the Planet'''</big></center>
Ocasio-Cortez is an Apostle of cataclysmic destruction of the [[planet]] in the year 2030. The impending doom is necessitated, she claims, by [[climate change]]. To fight climate change, Ocasio-Cortez has proposed [[illegal immigration]] and [[Medicare for All]], which would necessitate a doubling of [[greenhouse gases|carbon emission]]s to produce the economic output to meet the price tag. Ocasio-Cortez has yet to reconcile why Medicare for All would be necessary for a planet with only twelve years left to live, or that a near doubling of GDP output and carbon emissions to pay for Medicare for All would likely shorten the time remaining for the survival of planet [[Earth]].
[[File:AOC-Dunleavy.PNG|right|300px|thumb|AOC says the purpose of the Green New Deal is to end civilization as we know it.]]
Another conundrum facing Ocasio-Cortez was surviving on a waitress's salary until her $174,000 a year Congressional salary kicked in. The situation was compounded by a government shutdown when no government workers were paid. Ocasio-Cortez told an interviewer during the shutdown, "[[Millennial]]s and [[Gen Z]] and all these folks that come after us are looking up, and we're like, 'The world is going to end in 12 years if we don't address climate change, and your biggest issue is how are we gonna pay for it?'

====Colonialist ''Conquistador''====
:{{See also|Colonialism}}
Ocasio-Cortez, who is of European [[Spanish]] descent, thinks the Spanish descendants of [[Christopher Columbus]] (the ''[[Conquistadors]]''), are "colonized people". Ocasio-Cortez really believes, what in Spanish is known are ''La Conquista'', or ''The Conquest of North and South America'', that she and her ancestral European "conquerors" are "victims of colonization" and that European Spanish descendants, such as herself, are "indigenous peoples".<ref>https://twitter.com/tomselliott/status/1182692870010093569?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw</ref>

Actually, Ocasio-Cortez is a Spanish racist who abhors "Angelos". In Spanish, the term "Angelo", which means "English", is a label given to [[German]]s, [[Slav]]s, and all other Nordic and Slavic European groups. The term ''Angelo'' applies racial animosity and collective guilt on all Northern Europeans for the loss of the glory days of the Spanish Empire by the British Navy.<ref>See: [[Spanish Armada]] and [[Elizabethan Age]].</ref>

In truth of fact, Ocasio-Cortez's European ancestors were [[slave]] traders of Africans who conquered and colonized indigenous peoples of the Americas; [[Puerto Rico]] is a Spanish European colony, and its inhabitants, black or white, are not "indigenous peoples". The implication that Puerto Rico has been "colonized" by Angelo-speaking citizens of the United States is not only false, it is a an unmitigated racist sentiment and statement.

====Authoritarianism====
Ocasio-Cortez responded to critics of her totalitarian Green New Deal agenda: {{Quotebox|"So people are like, 'Oh it's unrealistic. Oh it's vague. Oh it doesn't address this little minute thing.' And I'm like, 'You try. You do it. Cuz you're not. Cuz you're not. So, until you do it, I'm the boss.' How about that?'

====WikiLeaks====
Ocasio-Cortez has come to the defense of gender-confused former Army soldier [[Chelsea Manning]]. Manning had been sentenced to 35 years in prison for disclosures to [[WikiLeaks]]. WikiLeaks, according to [[Robert Mueller]], [[James Comey]] and [[John Brennan]], is a "front for [[Russia]]n intelligence" which seeks to destroy American democracy. Ocasio-Cortez tweeted {{Quotebox| "Chelsea Manning has been trapped in solitary confinement for refusing to answer questions before a grand jury. Solitary confinement is torture. Chelsea is being tortured for whistleblowing, she should be released on bail, and we should ban extended solitary in the U.S.”}} Manning had spent a few weeks in solitary confinement. Ocasio-Cortez called for ending the barbarous treatment of [[Paul Manafort]], a 68-year-old man who was never accused of colluding with Wikileaks by the [[Mueller Team]] and saw his health deteriorate under the inhumane conditions.<ref>https://www.politico.com/story/2019/06/05/ocasio-cortez-solitary-confinement-paul-manafort-1353641</ref>

====2020 primary election====

Many Democrats in her home district, not just nationwide, were fed up with Ocasio-Cortez long before her freshman year expired. Badrun Khan, who serves on Queens Community Board 2, offered a [[primary election]] challenge for the Democratic nomination to represent New York's 14th district.<ref>https://badrunforcongress.com/</ref> The [[Communist]] mainstream media, which claims a person's private life is nobody's business in the cases of [[Bill Clinton]] and Democrat donor [[Jeffrey Epstein]], published this garbage about another Democrat primary challenger:
{{quotebox|Michelle Caruso-Cabrera holds the title of Chief International Correspondent at [[CNBC]] television. She started appearing regularly on Power Lunch in 2009 in an analyst capacity, as a part of CNBC's extensive market coverage. Before that, she co-hosted the World Exchange program alongside Christine Tan in Asia and Ross Westgate in Europe. She also worked as a reporter for WTSP-TV in St. Petersburg, Florida.
She won an [[Emmy Award]] for a five-part series on children with [[AIDS]]. She also received a Broadcaster of the Year (2004) award from the National Association of Hispanic Journalists. She was married in 1999 and later divorced. She again became engaged in 2015....

Michelle personal life and her career are totally opposite looking towards her bio. There is not any stability of her relationship and married life looking towards her bio and she has not been found successful in her married life. In the college days as well her affair and boyfriends did not have any healthy relationship with her.

This also made her sad and heartbroken. Similarly, after divorce from her husband Paulo Lima she was some sadder and irritated with the issues regarding the matter of relationship. They were married after having a long-term of affair this spouse right after their marriage with regular fights and disputes led them to get a divorce.

Currently, she is living a single life and the rumor about her present boyfriend and their lists and always denied by herself. She mentioned that she is no more interested in the relationship and makes her feel sad all the time.<ref>[https://articlebio.com/michelle-caruso-cabrera Google translation from Spanish]</ref>}}
This personal attack on a well qualified Democratic opponent and graduate of Wellesley College by [[mainstream media]] allies of Ocasio-Cortez must be considered underhanded and [[sexist]], at a minimum.

====Refusal to compromise====
When Republican Senator [[Ted Cruz]] attempted to compromise with the Democrats by agreeing with Ocasio-Cortez on a recent populist uprising by small business investors, Ocasio-Cortez reacted badly to Cruz, falsely accusing him of "attempted murder" because of his challenge of [[Democrat election fraud]] and demanding that he resign his Senate seat, then following that with falsely accusing him of being responsible for the recent suicide of a [[Capitol Police]] officer in the wake of the [[2021 Capitol riot]].<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/01/wow-ted-cruz-reaches-hand-across-aisle-agree-ocasio-cortez-populist-investor-uprising-aoc-bites-off-head-accuses-attempted-murder-tells-resign/ WOW!

====Congressional failure====
Ocasio-Cortez was recently ranked as one of the least effective Democrat lawmakers in Congress in a report by the Center for Effective Lawmaking, which rated her 230th out of 240 House Democrats as well as last among the 19 Democrat lawmakers from New York.<ref>[https://www.oann.com/rep-ocasio-cortez-ranked-one-of-the-least-effective-dem-lawmakers/ Rep. Ocasio-Cortez Ranked One Of The Least Effective Dem Lawmakers]</ref> According to the report, out of 21 bills introduced by AOC during her first congressional term, none of them saw any action in committees or were voted on.

====Reparations====
[[File:Medicare for All.png|right|250px|thumb|The chart brings into perspective the comparative cost of Medicare for All.]]
:{{See also|Nanny state|Welfare state}}
Ocasio-Cortez sees this plan as being a vehicle through which social equality might finally be realized through the use of [[reparations]] to right historical injustices. The final Green New Deal will
{{quotebox-float|"mitigate deeply entrenched racial, regional and gender-based inequalities in income and wealth (including, without limitation, ensuring that federal and other investment will be equitably distributed to historically impoverished, low income, deindustrialized or other marginalized communities in such a way that builds wealth and ownership at the community level)."}}

The plan includes universal income and Medicare for All: The plan, it says, shall
{{quotebox-float|"include additional measures such as [[basic income]] programs, universal health care programs and any others as the select committee may deem appropriate to promote economic security, labor market flexibility and entrepreneurism."}}

The plan also imagines creating governmental support for "transitioning" minority communities. The deal shall:
{{quotebox|"ensure a 'just transition' for all workers, low-income communities, communities of color, indigenous communities, rural and urban communities and the front-line communities most affected by climate change, pollution and other environmental harm including by ensuring that local implementation of the transition is led from the community level."}}

On May 27, 2020 the Twin Cities DSA issued a call on [[Twitter]] asking comrades for supplies at the same intersection where the Auto Zone was burned to the ground kicking off the nationwide riots. Later that evening the [[Marxist]]s tweeted,
{{quotebox-float|"Want to help out your comrades protesting at the 3rd precinct? Here's a good list of much needed supplies."<ref>https://twitter.com/TwinCitiesDSA/status/1265774113693372417</ref>}}
The folks on the ground attached a list and included medical supplies, plywood for shields, anything else useful for shielding from the cops. Private cars were later requested. The tweet read,
{{quotebox-float|"Another big need: if you have a car, some folks may need a quick ride out of the area."}}
The Minneapolis Police 3rd precinct building was evacuated and burnt down that evening. The Twin Cities DSA Ecosocialists Working Group tweeted to comrades,
{{quotebox-float|"Support the ongoing mass [[working-class]] uprising!"}}
On May 28, 2020 the DSA National Political Committee issued a statement in support of the rioters:
{{quotebox|"We the National Political Committee of the Democratic Socialists of America condemn the public execution of [[George Floyd]] at the hands of the Minneapolis Police.

In [[Marxist–Leninist]] and [[Maoist]] theory, a [[United front]] is a [[coalition]] of [[leftist]] organizations that [[collude]] for the purpose of taking over a [[government]]. In the [[116th Congress]], the [[Committees of Correspondence for Democratic Socialism]], Democratic Socialists of America, [[Liberation Road]] (formerly Freedom Road Socialist Organization), and Communist Party of the United States formally created a united front of the nation's four largest Communist organizations to take over the [[Democratic Party]].<ref>https://m.theepochtimes.com/how-57000-socialists-and-communists-plan-to-take-over-the-democratic-party_2654589.html</ref> As of 2018 the umbrella group is known as the [[Left Inside/Outside Project]] (“One foot in the institutions, one foot in the streets.”<ref>https://dsabuild.org/r9-establishing-a-national-antifascist-and-direct-action-working-group</ref>) consisted of 57,000 [[community organizer]]s.<ref>https://organizingupgrade.com/the-left-we-want/</ref> At its August 2019 convention the DSA passed a resolution to form a

Law enforcement authorities found evidence of pre-planning. The ''Minneapolis Star/Tribune'' reported:
{{quotebox-float|state officials said several caches of flammable materials were found both in neighborhoods where there have already been fires and “in cars we’ve stopped as recently as this morning,” said John Harrington, state public safety commissioner.

Police are also finding stolen vehicles with plates removed that are being used to transport the flammable materials. Looted goods and weapons also have been found in the stolen cars, he said.<ref>https://www.startribune.com/police-arrest-150-driver-who-barreled-into-crowd-held/570908442/?refresh=true</ref>}}
The [[Sunrise Movement]], with established groups in several major cities, has heavily recruited activists from the DSA and Liberation Road affiliated groups, such as the Pennsylvania Student Power Network. Sunrise founding activists are all current trainers with Momentum Community, which is a training workshop funded by millionaires and billionaires to “incubate” supposed "[[grassroots]]" organizations such as Sunrise and the Movimiento Cosecha (Harvest Movement). Democrat millionaire donor and former [[2020 presidential election]] candidate [[Tom Steyer]]'s [[NextGen America]] is also tied to the Sunrise Movement, and according to the ''New York Times'', the two groups “strategize” together.<ref>https://archive.fo/ytfYT</ref>

The DSA itself as of 2020 has 66,000 members nationwide and locals in almost every state. Other communist groups such as Communist Party USA, Liberation Road, [[Socialist Alternative]], Workers World Party, Party for Socialism and Liberation, [[Socialist Unity Party]], and Revolutionary Communist Party and their allies in Black Lives Matter and [[Antifa]] can mobilize tens of thousands of militants and organizing cadre at short notice.

===Cuban oppression===

At the ''[[Cuba#2021_Liberdad_movement|Libertad Movement]]'', AOC blamed [[Cuba]]ns' suffering on the US.<ref>[https://www.nrsc.org/press-releases/val-demings-refuses-to-call-out-the-squad-on-cuba-2021-07-16/ Val Demings Refuses to Call Out the Squad on Cuba], July 16, 2021.
<blockquote>
Washington, D.C – The radical Left is determined to not let up in their outrageous claims that the United States is responsible for the suffering of the Cuban people.

Yesterday, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took to Twitter to point blame at the U.S. and demand an end to the embargo. Former Florida Democrat Congresswoman Debbie Mucarsel-Powell clapped back at AOC and her radical colleagues stating that the plight of the Cuban people is solely the fault of the “failed policies of a communist regime that has violated human rights, imprisoned & killed dissidents.”

But where is Val Demings? She’s nowhere to be found. Demings refuses to call out the radical Left and her Squad pals, even as other Florida Democrats are speaking up.

Statement from NRSC Spokeswoman Priscilla Ivasco: “Once again, when an opportunity to call out the crazies in her own party arises, Congresswoman Val Demings is nowhere to be found. The Squad is blaming America for the plight of the Cuban people and Democrats across Florida are pushing back, except Washington’s favorite Florida Democrat, Val Demings. Does she agree with Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that the United States is to blame for the suffering of the Cuban people? Florida’s Cuban community deserves to know.</blockquote></ref>

===Attitudes towards crimes===
With rising violent crimes under Biden/Harris administration, AOC and other radicals proposed to abolish prisons.<ref>"[https://www.nrcc.org/2021/07/27/kim-sherrill-and-aoc-team-abolish-prisons/ Kim, Sherrill, and AOC: Team Abolish Prisons]." S. Bullock, NRCC, July 27, 2021.</ref>

With rising smash-and-grab wave in Nov, 2021, AOC lyingly said:<ref>Nick Arama, [https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2021/12/05/aoc-claims-those-organized-smash-and-grabs-on-stores-youre-seeing-arent-real-n486985 AOC Claims Those Organized Smash and Grabs on Stores You're Seeing Aren't Real], Red State.com, Dec 5, 2021.<blockquote>
AOC told the Washington Times that “a lot of these allegations of organized retail theft are not actually panning out.” “I believe it’s a Walgreens in California cited it, but the data didn’t back it up,” she said.
Now, she says this in the face of numerous videos and reports of smash and grabs in Democratic cities across the country, in particular a spurt of such criminal actions in California. So, it’s fantasy to deny them.
Republican lawmakers and retailers blasted AOC for denying the obvious.</blockquote ></ref> "Those organized smash and grabs on stores you're seeing aren't real."

*AOC's habit of failing to engage her brain prior to opening her mouth extends to a difficultly with English language [[idiom]]s. Ocasio-Cortez sarcastically attacked Republicans when she said, "it is impossible to pull oneself up by their bootstraps." A "bootstrap" refers to mounting a horse without assistance. Prior to the invention of metal stirrups, "bootstraps" were made of leather, hence the name "bootstrap". Mounting a horse unassisted is problematic, requiring both shoulder and leg strength, which is how the phrase, "pull yourself up by the bootsraps" came into usage centuries ago. There is an added risk of the horse moving or running away while the rider is in mid-air attempting to mount. Receiving assistance to mount a horse is referred to as "a leg up". The assistant can "extend a hand" while holding the horse's bridle with the other hand to prevent the horse from moving. In the late 20th century the "bootstrap" idiom was shortened to "boot" and borrowed by computer engineers to describe the process of a computer operating system starting on its own after a manual input command, without a "jump start" from another computer, which is now commonly known as "booting" or "boot up."

Day of the Vow

2021-12-25T14:55:20Z

Carsten:

The '''Day of the Vow''', or Dingaansdag, was a public and religious holiday in [[South Africa]] that is traditionally celebrated on the 16th of December.

==History==
On December 16, 1838, during the [[Great Trek of the Boers|Great Trek]], 470 Voortrekkers were attacked by at least 10,000 to 15,000 [[Zulus]] at the [[Battle of Blood River]]. In the ensuing victory, only one Voortrekker, Andries Pretorius, was injured. Subsequently, the Voortrekkers prayed and made a daily [[vow]] that if [[God]] gave them protection, they and their descendants would commemorate that day as a [[Sabbath]], and the glory of victory would be given to God.

Every year on 16 December, a ray of sunshine falls on the granite notch in the Voortrekker Monument in [[Pretoria]], which symbolizes God's blessing on the Voortrekkers' lives.

In 1995, the [[African National Congress]] government replaced the religious holiday with Reconciliation Day. However, some of the [[Afrikaner]] population still celebrate the holiday.

==The Vow==
{{cquote|''My brothers and fellow countrymen we stand here now for a moment before a holy God of Heaven and Earth to make a promise to him, if he would give us protection and be with us, and give our enemy into our hands so that we may defeat them we shall pass the day and date each year as an anniversary and a day of Thanksgiving in his honour like a sabbath. And we promise that we shall build a temple to his honour as it shall please him, and that we shall tell this our children so that they may share in this with us to remembrance also for our rising generations so that the glory of his name may be sanctified and the glory and honour of victory shall be given unto him.''<ref>https://battlefieldwanderers.net/africa/blood-river/</ref>}}

Austin, Texas

2021-12-25T08:14:51Z

Carsten:

[[File:View of Austin From Congress Street Bridge.jpg|thumb|right|View of Austin from Congress St. Bridge]]'''Austin''' is the fastest-growing large city in America, located in free-market friendly [[Texas]], where it is the capital city for the state. The Texas state legislature meets in Austin for 5–7 months every two years. Part of Travis County, Austin is home to 790,390 people (as of the 2010 Census).[http://factfinder.census.gov/servlet/GCTTable?_bm=y&-geo_id=04000US48&-_box_head_nbr=GCT-PH1&-ds_name=DEC_2000_SF1_U&-format=ST-7]

The city takes its name from [[Stephen F. Austin]].

==Politics and Government==

Austin is considered to be a very [[liberal]] city. In 2004, residents of the city helped Sen. [[John Kerry]] take Travis County, even though every other county in the Central Texas area went to [[George W. Bush]].

Other examples of [[liberal]] college towns include [[Berkeley]], [[California]]; [[Santa Cruz]], [[California]]; [[Madison]], [[Wisconsin]] and [[Cambridge, Massachusetts|Cambridge]], [[Massachusetts]].

Austin's liberal social and fiscal political atmosphere has also bred considerable [[libertarianism]] in the capital city.

Austin's mayor is Steve Adler, a Democrat in a nonpartisan position.

[[Ralph Yarborough]], an attorney from Austin, was from 1957 to 1971, one of the two [[U.S. Senate|U.S. Senators]] from Texas. He was a leader of the dominant liberal wing of the Democratic Party. He defeated [[George Herbert Walker Bush]] in the 1964 [[general election]] but then was upset in the 1970 Democratic [[primary]] by [[Lloyd Bentsen]], considered a mainstay of moderate Democrats in Texas though he had like Yarborough a mostly liberal voting record in the Senate.

On May Day 2021, a group of communists marched through Austin blocking traffic and singing the praises of [[mass murder]]ers.<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/05/communists-march-austin-texas-praise-mass-murderers-block-intersections-may-day-demonstration-video/ Communists March Through Austin, Texas – Praise Mass Murderers, Block Intersections in May Day Demonstration] at the Gateway Pundit</ref>

The city of Austin has publicly supported the [[Defund the Police]] movement by reducing the Austin Police Department's budget by 33%, the largest of any city in the United States, which has subsequently led to an 87.5% increase in murder rates within the city.<ref>[https://www.foxnews.com/politics/austin-texas-defunded-its-police-department-now-voters-will-decide-if-city-needs-more-officers Austin, Texas, defunded its police department.

During [[Veterans Day]] 2021, the city of Austin's [[authoritarianism|authoritarian]] stance on [[COVID-19]] requirements forced the Austin Veterans Parade Foundation to cancel their annual Veteran's Day parade, and by doing so disrespected [[Veteran|veterans]] who served the nation.<ref>[https://redstate.com/jeffc/2021/11/11/disgrace-city-of-austin-uses-covid-19-as-an-excuse-to-disrespect-veterans-n473754 Disgrace: City of Austin Uses COVID-19 as an Excuse to Disrespect Veterans]</ref> Governor [[Greg Abbott]] later invited the Austin Veterans Parade Foundation to host a rally on the steps of the Texas State Capitol.<ref>https://twitter.com/GregAbbott_TX/status/1458109543171432461/</ref>

==Sports and recreation==
Austin is known as the home of cyclist [[Lance Armstrong]], whose seven [[Tour de France]] championships were stripped of him based on doping allegations, and professional golfers such as [[Tom Kite]].

Austin is the largest city in the country without a team in any of the major sports leagues (the [[National Football League]], [[Major League Baseball]], the [[National Basketball Association]] or the [[National Hockey League]]), but it is home to several minor league teams. The city is also the home to Circuit of the Americas, a recently opened racetrack that hosts [[Formula 1]] racing.

Austin is known as the "live music capital of the world" due to its diverse performance of live music by various musicians.

==Education==
Austin is home to the [[University of Texas at Austin]].

Jussie Smollett assault hoax

The '''Jussie Smollett assault hoax''' refers to the event that actor [[Jussie Smollett]] orchestrated in order to frame Trump supporters of a racially-motivated attack. Two brothers that had previously worked with Smollett as extras on ''Empire'' testified Smollett paid them $3,500 to pose as his attackers.<ref>[https://en-volve.com/2021/11/30/jussie-smollett-now-facing-prison-as-brothers-testify-he-paid-them-to-fake-maga-hate-crime/ Jussie Smollett Now Facing Prison as Brothers Testify He Paid Them to Fake MAGA Hate Crime]</ref> Smollett was found guilty of five out of six counts by a court of justice.

During the trial, it was discovered that Smollett even practiced a "dry run" prior.

Hate crime hoax

2021-12-15T09:01:19Z

Carsten:

A '''hate crime hoax''' is a staged crime intended to gain a [[hate crime]] enhancement, usually for the purposes of gaining victimhood, sympathy, or [[celebrity]] status. It can also occur to assist fundraising efforts for an organization.

A common element in hate crime hoaxes is that no perpetrator is ever arrested. [[Leftist]] [[mainstream media]] often sensationalize hate crime hoaxes as symptomatic of some underlying social condition that only a particular political party or piece of [[legislation]] can address. Another common element of hate crime hoaxes is public shaming of a group outside of a legislatively defined protected group.

Liberals frequently claim that the [[United States]] is a "racist" country, or that it is filled with "racists," but they need to continually fabricate "hate crimes" if they want to make any effort at proving such a claim.<ref>Walsh, Matt (July 24, 2019).
