First things, first. As reported by The New York Post on Tuesday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has appointed Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Math Wizard) and two of her “Squad” comrades to the powerful House Oversight and Reform Committee, which will give the far-left lawmakers a platform from which to push their radical agenda on Joe Biden.
Joining AOC are Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-TDS) and newcomer Rep. Cori Bush (D-BLM).
As I write, the dust continues to settle on the Georgia Senate runoff elections, with Raphael Warnock (D) the projected winner over incumbent Kelly Loeffler (R), and Jon Ossoff (R) likely to defeat incumbent David Perdue (R). If Ossoff’s lead holds, the Democrats retake control of the U.S. Senate, giving them a clean sweep of the federal government.
So it appears that “it” has finally happened.
Democrats will be in a position to advance their agenda without sufficient Republican opposition to stop them. As reported by Daily Wire on Wednesday, Democrats and leftists have immediately called for radical legislative action that they intend to push Congress to enact and Biden to sign into law. Here’s a sampling:
Leftist Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) called for “transformative change,” “recurring survival checks,” “racial justice,” “climate action,” “repro justice,” and “MUCH more.”
VICTORY in Georgia must lead to transformative change across America!
Recurring survival checks, union jobs that pay a living wage, guaranteed health care, racial justice, voting rights, immigration reform, climate action, repro justice, education, and MUCH more.
It can’t wait!

Left-wing activist Paige Wolf was her usual “pleasant” self. **Strong language**

Another left-wing activist, Walker Bragman had a laundry list of radical demands, as well.
Democrats will have complete control of the federal government for two full years.
They can pack the court.
They can end the wars.
They can cut the (monthly) checks.
They can guarantee healthcare.
They can forgive student and medical debt.
If they don’t, you know who to blame.
Putting the Democrats on notice, are you, Walker?

And how should the Democrats “get ‘er done”? “Eliminate the filibuster, ram through huge relief to everyday people, and ride it to 2022.”
They will have to employ the nuclear option and eliminate the filibuster. But they can do it. And given the GOP’s willingness to throw traditions out the window for power, they should. Eliminate the filibuster, ram through huge relief for everyday people and ride it to 2022.

Brian Fallon, a former aide to Hillary Clinton, tweeted: “Make DC a state. Restore the Voting Rights Act. Eliminate the filibuster. Reform the courts. Revive democracy.” No doubt Hillary wistfully read Fallon’s tweet, thinking to her bitter self, “If only…”
Make DC a state. Restore the Voting Rights Act. Eliminate the filibuster. Reform the courts. Revive democracy.

As reported by The Blaze, Rep. Chris Pappas (D-NH) released a list of top priorities.
Stimulus Checks: House Democrats passed a bill that would provide Americans with $2,000 stimulus checks after President Donald Trump asked for stimulus checks greater than $600. The Republican-controlled Senate, however, squashed the effort.
The Equality Act: “The Equality Act would provide consistent and explicit anti-discrimination protections for LGBTQ people across key areas of life, including employment, housing, credit, education, public spaces and services, federally funded programs, and jury service.”
The DREAM Act: A bill introduced to Congress nearly a dozen times over the last two decades, often with bipartisan sponsors, it would “pathway to legal status for undocumented youth who came to this country as children,” according to American Immigration Council.
Voting Rights Act: Democrats have attempted to legislatively restore a part of the Voting Rights Act that was struck down by the Supreme Court in 2013. With McConnell in charge of the Senate, Democrats have been unsuccessful in their endeavors.
“Climate action.” My favorite, bless their “global warming” hearts.
Flipping the Senate would be huge to get votes on popular bills blocked by Mitch McConnell:
🔹$2k checks
🔹 Equality Act
🔹 Dream Act
🔹 Infrastructure
🔹 Voting Rights Act
🔹 State and local funding
🔹 Climate action… the list goes on, and on, and on. America needs this.

So here we are. Less than a week into 2021. Georgia happened. The leftist demands will keep coming. And as I wrap up this piece, protesters are trying to break down the door into the House chamber, and a woman has reportedly been shot in the process.
Remember a while back when I asked, “Why do I get the feeling that, in reference to 2020, 2021 is about to say “Hold my beer”? Yeah.
“They can end the wars.”
When will Congress be changed to People’s Collective Politboro?
The #1 creditor to student loans happens to be the federal employees retirement funds. If you think the political class is going to take that hit, one would be sadly mistaken.
And people wonder why the Capitol was “stormed”.
I’ll take the 2 grand. It’ll help offset the thousands I lost in the market today.

January 6, 2021.
Recurring survival checks????
Proving that there is just cause for this protest.
That clutch of clowns invading the Capitol building (mysteriously getting past the most security that building has had in its history???) have already been identified as many antifa members.
Somehow I dont think any of this is over.
.
Remember
They got upset at Trump trying to bring our military numbers down in foreign coutries and bringing them back home
Get Elected and get Ultimate Power
Like Democrats have ever been about “ending wars” ... LOL
Waiting to see if the squad will demand that the US embassy in Israel be moved back to Tel Aviv or just torn down and recognition of Israel be rejected.
Trump ushered in an era of peace and prosperity. Obama bombed his way through crisis after crisis and destabilized the entire middle east and nearly all of Africa.
What they AREN’T admitting is they are coming after the guns. Make no mistake.
Pelosi is evil scum.
Second week in April🙄
There will be no more checks.
They do need voters any more they’ll just have the machines spit out the candidates they want.😝
That’s supposed to be don’t Need voters.durn autocorrect.😖
The next time, they will storm armed to the teeth.
BINGO!
