It's frightening that even 1% would consider her to be qualified to be President.

AOC for president. Jasmine Crockett for Senate. The future of the Democratic party. Ridicule it all you like, but this is what's being pushed. By now, we have all seen how easy it is to influence people.

''Among registered Democrats ages 18-22, 30 percent would back Ocasio-Cortez'' I'm willing to bet they couldn't give you 3 reasons why they would vote for her. Maybe they just figure she's just as stupid as they are...which she is.

Yale, if this is the best you can do, any taxpayer funding you receive should be eliminated. Frankly, I support removing any accreditation you have as an institution of learning. Please find some sense, and get some humility to recognize you are in serious need of any knowledge of life.

Biden was the test case for the "perfect Democrat as President" - a figurehead to allow party apparatchiks to dream up whatever wild, leftist policies they want and use the figurehead's autopen to sign for everything they want. AOC is just the next figurehead.

OK, the Cortez twit is the "favorite," but look at the competition. Harris is a laughable loser, followed by Newsie, the "hero" of the Palisades fire. However, Republicans, known for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, have no reason to be complacent or smug.

I think it's a huge mistake to mock the Dems here. They've discovered the power of telegenicsand we'd better pay attention. They realize if a candidate looks good, a certain proportion of voters will just listen and agree. They've also figured out that pitting youth and new ideas against stodgy, old men promoting backroom deals is an easy sell. They've signaled their approach; I hope we're listening and have a plan.

The popularity makes sense when you consider that AOC falls into the same IQ bracket as the teenagers. They are all competing for the same handholds to keep from sliding the rest of the way down the left side of the Bell Curve. Don't be surprised that when Mamdani totally destroys New York City, he will be running for POTUS in 2028. I have already begun my search for a home in Greenland.

Former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg is less popular among black voters than former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke was in 2016, according to a new poll.

Swiss voters have rejected a tax on ultra wealthy residents and turned down a proposal to extend mandatory military service to women, initial poll results showed Sunday. Nearly 85% of voters rejected military or civic service for females, and 79% voted against a 50% inheritance tax for the most wealthy Swiss. The inheritance tax would have imposed the levy on individuals receiving a tax-free amount of 50 million Swiss Francs, or just over $62 million. The proposal, made by the youth wing of the leftist Social Democrats, would have directed the funds toward the nation's climate change mitigation efforts.

ATLANTA (AP) — A federal judge has permanently ordered Georgia’s prison system to keep providing some kinds of gender-affirming care for transgender prisoners, although the state plans to appeal. U.S. District Judge Victoria Marie Calvert last week ruled that a new state law denying hormone therapy to inmates violated their protection against cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. She ordered the state to keep providing hormones to inmates who had been receiving therapy and to allow others medically diagnosed as needing hormone therapy to begin receiving treatment.

Civil war and famine spurred many Somalians to immigrate to the United States in 1991 and settle in Minnesota. That was 34 years ago. Somalians could have assimilated into U.S. culture by now, but American taxpayers have been roped into funding programs that coddle Somalians’ Third-World culture and disincentivize their assimilation. The Somali population explosion has rendered parts of Minneapolis unrecognizable as they impose a decidedly non-American culture on every aspect of the city. Somalis are members of the police force, city council, state legislature, and even Congress, still speaking their own language in those positions and, at times, cutting English speakers out of the loop.

An Australian women’s rights advocate has been ordered to pay a combined total of $95,000 AUD to two trans-identified men, with an additional $40,000 penalty in the case of non-compliance. Kirralie Smith was found guilty by a New South Wales court of “unlawfully vilifying” two trans-identified males who made headlines for participating in women’s sports. Justin “Riley” Dennis and Nicholas “Stephanie” Blanch lodged criminal complaints against Smith for raising public awareness of their inclusion in women’s football.

The latest plunge of the national currency to a historic low is not an accident of market forces, nor the consequence of global instability. It is the inevitable result of decades of plunder, corruption, and ideological fanaticism by a ruling clerical mafia whose survival depends on bleeding the nation dry.

The new Washington Post editorial board continues to be a surprise. I suspect they have posted more right-leaning material in the past 3 months than was published in the paper during Biden's entire term in office. In any case, today the Post makes the case that Obamacare subsidies, the coming expiration of which was the stated reason Democrats shut down the government, should not be extended. Why? Because there is lots of evidence suggesting the program is rife with fraud. On party-line votes in 2021 and 2022, Democrats invoked the pandemic emergency to temporarily expand eligibility for Obamacare insurance subsidies. Preserving these credits, which are due to expire
