Life at the tippy-top sure does increase the old carbon footprint. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the dim-witted freshman Democrat from the Bronx, or somewhere, took incoming fire from the leering press over the weekend when it was revealed that she isnt exactly walking her Global Church of Climate Change talking points.
Fresh off of saying Climate Change is a national emergency that mandates the elimination of gasoline-powered cars and proclaiming that Were like, The world is going to end in 12 years if we dont address climate change. And, like, this is the war; this is our World War II, it turns out that the ex- and possibly future-bartender has been guzzling the gas at pretty much the same rate as all of her high-carbon-footprint colleagues. The New York Post reported over the weekend that her campaign ran up bills on gas-powered cars totaling almost $30,000 even though her campaign headquarters was just 138 feet from the nearest New York Subway station.
Even more puzzling, her campaign racked up 66 airline flights totaling more than $25,000 even though she was running in a very geographically-compact district. Where were all these people flying to and from, and what campaign-related mission were the accomplishing?
Ocasio-Cortez responded to the report on her Twitter account because of course she did thusly:
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ✔ @AOC I also fly ✈️ & use A/C
Living in the world as it is isnt an argument against working towards a better future.
The Green New Deal is about putting a LOT of people to work in developing new technologies, building new infrastructure, and getting us to 100% renewable energy.

Life at the tippy-top is good, and her plans involve putting a lot of people to work to force YOU to reduce YOUR carbon footprint they have nothing to do with how the elite that she is now a part of would continue to live once they have banished those of you who survive the economic disaster they create to live in your new 19th-century existence.
One things for sure: It didnt take her long to memorize those Al Gore/Leonardo DiCaprio talking points.
Now for something completely gross. Heres something in everyones future if Ocasio-Cortez and her society-destroying minions have their way: A company in Spain is now manufacturing pukey-looking vegan steaks with a 3-D printer. Stock up on the ribeyes and briskets while you still can, folks, because this is where these lunatics want to force us all to go. There is not enough ketchup on earth to cover up the after-taste of that slop.
Hey, another 1-percenter enters the race. Ex-Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper, a former oil and gas geologist who made his fortune as a pioneer of Colorados micro-brewery industry, announced really, really early this morning that hes going to run for the 2020 Democrat presidential nomination. Because, you know, if Jay Inslee (who?) and this Pete Buttigieg (wut?) guy can run, why not a guy with a chain of beer pubs?
Makes perfect sense to me.
They were just kiddin about that whole Russia Collusion thing. If you thought that the end of the Robert Mueller witch hunt would mean the Democrats would allow the nation to return to some sense of normalcy and regular order in its national politics, well, I want a double shot of whatever it is youve been drinking.
The end of the Witch Hunt over the Russia Collusion fantasy concocted by the DOJ/FBI cabal only means that the Democrats in congress move onto the next phase of their 4-year effort to deconstruct this President and presidency. Thus, the House Judiciary Committee chaired by despicable New York congressman Jerrold Nadler will issue no fewer than 60 subpoenas seeking documents and testimony in its own Witch Hunt, which will attempt to dummy up a claim of obstruction of justice by President Donald Trump.
Nevermind that Mueller has already spent months trying to create that case and failed, nevermind that the whole fantasy is based on the Presidents firing of Teenage Drama Queen James Comey, a man who every Democrat in Washington had publicly advocated firing none of those things matter. What matters to the Democrats is keeping up the appearance of chaos in Washington, because they know it is literally their only hope of beating Trump in the 2020 election.
If they allow a return to normal order, this President would plow his way to a landslide victory over whichever candidate emerges from the Democrats field of miscreants, hacks, fake Indians, ageing punk rockers and beta-males that would rival Reagans thrashing of Walter Mondale in 1984. So there will be no normal order in Washington, folks. Instead, there will be 18 months of subpoenas, kangaroo courts and disgraceful displays of demagoguery, all of which will be treated seriously by the Democrat lapdogs who infest our nations fake news media.
Theres nothing any of us out here in Flyover Country can do about it, other than to be sure to turn out to vote for Trump in 2020, so you might as well just sit back and enjoy the spectacle.
Some of you have wondered why it is that I like to say that I never tire of typing the three glorious words President Donald Trump. Well, this is why. This exact thing. He has quite literally driven the entire Democrat Party stark, raving mad. Dont misunderstand Democrats were nuts long before Donald Trump ever thought about running for president. But in the past they felt the need to at least put up a pretense of normalcy. They werent anything like you and me, but they felt the need to make like they were in order to attract your votes, which is why people who were otherwise good and decent and fairly intelligent could justify voting for Democrats.
But now the mask is completely off. The pretense is gone. The Democrat Party, over just the past 30 days, has happily revealed itself to be the party of killing babies, the party of open borders, the party of socialist fascism, the party that is perfectly willing to do everything it can to protect woman abusers and guys nicknamed CoonMan if they hold elective office with a D next to their name.
It is no longer possible for good and decent people to cast their votes for Democrats. As Ronald Reagan famously said, the time for choosing is upon us, and there is no longer any place to hide.
Glorious.
That is all.

America’s time of choosing will come. Not by CO2, but by innocent blood being spilled, and by pulling its very own Towers of Babel to provoke the wrath of God.
After this choice the next choice is whether to pick up a rifle or not.
I agree, without a massive national revival we are headed for violent conflict. The Left will not stop, so they will have to be stoped.
They think we aren’t serious, and nothing will happen to them regardless of their actions. So far, they are correct.
After this choice the next choice is whether to pick up a rifle or not.
Make sure the ones you already have are properly zeroed.
Then practice, practice, practice.
All the guns and ammunition in the world are useless without the skill to use them properly.
Good luck.

I really do find that my hatred, disgust and disdain for democRATs increases, exponentially, on a daily basis.
These “people” are the Domestic Enemies that our Founding Fathers warned us about and deserve to be treated accordingly.
Before anything like that can or will happen, the conservative republicans will need to become united...
The liberal/socialist democrats are and have been united for a long time because of “groupthink”...
The conservative republicans have always been individual thinkers, as it should be, but this is becoming a hindrance to defeating the democrats...
One outstanding essay here and have to love the exposure of Sandy Ocasio-Cortex-Castro.
She’s one arrogant fool but Leftist are happy to have that prop.
“...All the guns and ammunition in the world are useless without the skill to use them properly...”
I would say “the will” instead of “the skill”, but you are correct as well.
I would say the will instead of the skill, but you are correct as well.
As are you.
Good luck.

The Democrats live in small, high population density enclaves that ignores other points of view. Coupled with the essential monopoly of the media that reflects the far left political views creates isolated bubbles that cause the Democrats to charge off in crazy directions. This is good and should be encouraged. The result will be an unelectable Presidential candidate coming out of the Democrat Convention.
Mondale redux times 10.
As a life long bookkeeper/accounting person, I would certainly challenge 66 flights for a person campaigning in downtown NYC.
I have audited plenty of expense accounts in my lifetime, and that would NEVER get past me.
Yea, but youre not a rat accountant.
True both.
We will be on the same side this time.
