The notion of victimization is at the heart of progressive politics, regardless of the facts of any particular situation. The current darlings of the progs are the four female freshmen House members called The Squad, all of whom claim to be racial minorities – “people of color” in that odd expression that relegates Caucasians to transparency or colorlessness. And half of the Squad, Reps Ocasio-Cortez and Tlaib, have skin color lighter than many Italians, Jews, and others who for some reason are not allowed to claim special status as inherently victimized “people of color.” So, clearly, dishonest fantasy and...

Ayanna Pressley of the Squad says she doesn't want any more black faces who don't speak with a black voice. Well, here's a patriotic black lady who takes affront to this and gives Ayanna a little advice about hanging around with three bottom feeding foreign socialist/communists who in reality hate her because she (Ayanna) is the only true black American on the useful idiot puppet squad. Priceless video. I pray it goes viral (even with a little salty language). Video at source.

Short video: Comedian Terrence K. Williams is straight up indignant about accusations of racism directed at the President by the "Squad" of freshmen congresswomen: AOC, Omar, Tlaib and Pressley.

MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell faces criticism for saying none of Dem 'squad,' including AOC, are 'socialists' MSNBC anchor Andrea Mitchell is facing criticism on Thursday over her declaration that none of the four progressive congresswomen of "The Squad," including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-NY, are "socialists." Amid a bitter feud, President Trump attacked the freshman lawmakers during his rally on Wednesday and labeled them as "socialists." But it was in reaction to remarks from House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, D-Calif, who also referred to the "squad" as "socialist Democrats" that Mitchell wanted to fact-check. "None of these members of Congress are socialists,...

House Democrats on Thursday called for increased security in response to the “Send her back” chants that got hurled at Rep. Ilhan Omar during President Trump’s rally in North Carolina. “It’s crystal clear to me that [Omar’s] life is in imminent danger,” said Democratic Illinois Rep. Bobby Rush in a statement. “[Trump] has threatened the safety of a member of Congress,” he added. “That takes this to a whole different level.” Congressman Al Green (D-Texas) announced plans Thursday — while speaking on the House floor — to introduce legislation for more enhanced security measures. “Leadership has adequate security,” he said....

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar was greeted at the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport by more than a hundred supporters -- constituents, organizers and well-wishers, carrying homemade "stand with Ilhan" signs welcoming her back to Minneapolis... [snip] "It sure feels good to be home!" she said to cheers, ahead of a Medicare-for-All town hall event with progressive Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash. Omar was defiant, criticizing Trump’s "fascist" policies, and promised to continue standing up for her beliefs, pointing to her Medicare-for-All town hall this evening. "Everybody is talking about that he is threatened because we criticize him," she said. "But the reality is that...

Thousands of Britons, including dozens of members of Parliament, London Mayor Sadiq Khan and Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, have signed a letter in support of four liberal Democratic congresswomen after President Donald Trump wrote in a series of tweets that they should "go back" to the countries they came from. The letter, from British the anti-racism and anti-fascism group Hope not Hate, was addressed to Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). Signatories said they were "disgusted" by Trump's attacks on the congresswomen and that they stood in solidarity...

US Rep. Ilhan Omar proposed a resolution this week supporting the right to boycott Israel, likening the boycott of the Jewish state to boycotts of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. Omar’s resolution seeks to push back against US laws banning the boycott of Israel and affirms the right of Americans to organize boycotts of foreign countries if they wish. While the resolution doesn’t explicitly name Israel or the pro-Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, she told media outlets that the resolution concerns the Jewish state. “We are introducing a resolution … to really speak about the American values...

GREENVILLE, N.C./WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump stepped up his vilification of four liberal lawmakers as un-American at a raucous rally on Wednesday, underscoring that the attacks will form a key part of his strategy for winning re-election in 2020.Despite criticism from Democrats that his comments about the four minority congresswomen are racist, Trump went on an extended diatribe about the lawmakers, saying they were welcome to leave the country if they did not like his policies on issues such as immigration and defending Israel. “So these Congresswomen, their comments are helping to fuel the rise of a dangerous, militant...

On The Chris Plante Show today on WMAL Radio, sub Chris Stigall took a call from Victor of Silver Spring, longtime WMAL listener, who gave an acronym for SQUAD: Socialist Queens Unmasking All Democrats. Brilliant, no?

Monday night on the radio, LevinTV host Mark Levin jumped into the fray of the most recent Washington, D.C., high drama over President Donald Trump’s tweets about the gaggle of far-Left House freshmen otherwise known as “the squad”: Democrats Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, N.Y; Rashida Tlaib, Mich; Ilhan Omar, Minn; and Ayanna Pressley, Mass. Levin pointed out that there are “a hell of a lot of Americans who are sick and tired of these freshman members of Congress” and the “horrendous things they’ve said about Jews and the horrendous things they’ve said about our country.” “Their ideology is not garden-variety liberalism; they’re...

President Trump, at a fiery "Make America Great Again" campaign rally Wednesday night in Greenville, North Carolina, blasted four progressive congresswomen, Reps. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, with whom he continues to spar after an ongoing feud over comments he made against them that critics deemed "racist." "Let 'em leave... they're always telling us how to run it, how to do this, how to do that. You know what? If they don't love it, tell 'em to leave it," Trump said of the congresswomen, doubling down on...

Damn, this thread is enjoyable. 2/ "The president won this one," said House Dem 1 of the Trump v Squad (AOC, Tlaib, Omar & Pressley) showdown. "What the president has done is politically brilliant. Pelosi was trying to marginalize these folks and the president has now identified the entire party with them."— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) July 17, 2019 4/ "…instead of the issues the president brings up deliberately. Anything that takes away from bread and butter issues is playing into his hands."— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) July 17, 2019 6/ This perceived selective outrage rankled some Dems. "Everybody was completely...

Ayanna Pressley (of the useful idiot squad) says: We don’t need any more brown faces that don’t want to be a brown voice. We don’t need black faces that don’t want to be a black voice. We don’t need Muslims that don’t want to be a Muslim voice. We don’t need queers that don’t want to be a queer voice. Now I'm wondering why she didn't include white faces or Judeo-Christian faces. I guess in her eyes those of us who don't look like her and her POC cabal are undeserving of a voice?

<p>No, dear idiot squad sisters, Trump did not criticize you race or your gender. It's about your anti-Americanism! Period.</p>

I've been told I need to give a "barf alert" if I have pics of AOC. "Here are some “re-captioned” pics from the last few weeks that I’m pretty didn’t get uploaded. Share with your friends, use to emphasize a point online, or in email. If you want on or off my irregular ping list, please FRmail me.

It’s been decades since Democrats had to confront a genuine challenge from the far left... The cracks in the party were most evident last week after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) casually deployed the race card against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). To be sure, Ocasio-Cortez’s side swipe — implying Pelosi singled her and her progressive allies out for criticism because they are women of color — was bad enough. But the real depth of the challenge Democrats face is better seen by looking at comments from Ocasio-Cortez’s chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti... Observers may wonder why Ocasio-Cortez and her chief...

“The Squad” is selling swag in the midst of its clash with President Trump. The four progressive congresswoman of color told by Trump to “go back” to their countries — New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley, Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar and Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib — began fundraising this week off their oft-used nickname, “the Squad.” Their $25 “We are the Squad” T-shirt, available in black or white, is sold through the progressive small-dollar fundraising platform ActBlue. The $25 splits evenly across all four candidates, with the option to add an additional contribution. “The Squad has never...

President Trump posted a new patriotic video Wednesday with a blunt message at the end tied to his battle with anti-American Democrat freshmen known as “the squad.” The video comes a day after Democrats rallied around the “squad” in a House vote attacking Trump over his criticism of them.
