In Munich, Democrats pledge a return to wealth taxes and climate hysteria
The Hill ^ | 14 Feb 2026 | Jonathan Turley

This week, California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) joined the many Californians now seeking their fortune elsewhere. The difference is that Newsom is planning to come back to California, even as billionaires, investors, and companies flee his state for greener pastures.

Newsom and Democrats such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) were selling a brave new world that looked a lot like the broken old world. It was an ironic moment. They were addressing countries at the Munich Security Conference that had previously destroyed their economies through socialist and far-left policies.

The rush of liberal Democratic officeholders to Europe was telling. A new poll shows that a record 58 percent of voters believe their party is “too liberal.” But Newsom and Ocasio-Cortez found a welcoming audience in Europe.

The global elite gushed over Ocasio-Cortez and sat enraptured as she rattled off socialist platitudes. That included New York Times correspondent Katrin Bennhold, who thrilled the audience by treating it as a given that Ocasio-Cortez will run for president.

Both Newsom and Ocasio-Cortez spoke of returning the U.S. to the good graces of the global elite. Newsom assured the Europeans that Trump’s reign is temporary, and that the U.S. will soon enough dismantle the “wrecking ball” that the administration has taken to the EU.

Isn't interesting that they go to Europe to do this? Are they maneuvering for positions in the EU bureaucracy?! I mean really, geopolitically Europe has become all but irrelevant.

To be fair, this isn’t the first time that an anti-democratic regime has used Munich as the launching point to create a “new world order” with, alas, quite European values.

“...The democrats have never heard of Nicolae Ceaușescu?...”

IF they don’t, they certainly need to....it’s getting that close.

“Romanian term limits” are coming?..

The way things are going these days, it would NOT be the least bit surprising.
Hey, if it was good enough for the UHC CEO, Charlie Kirk, and President Trump, certainly it would be good enough for a few of those evil basstids....
Their AWFLs and ghettopotomai can go cry me a river should it happen. I STILL WOULDN’T CARE at this point..
