Why Bernie’s Call For 60% Tax On Billionaires’ Wealth Is A Bad Idea
by Shifra on August 11, 2020Confiscating, er, taxing 60% of the wealth of U.S. billionaires is really dumb. Unless you are a total ‘economics – illiterate,’ or an old Communist, er, Socialist Senator from Vermont. But I repeat myself. Via Issues & Insights. Senator and former presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has another bright socialist idea: A 60% wealth tax on billionaires to pay for nationalized health care for a year. Such nuttiness would be easy to ignore were it not for the fact he’s now the driving intellectual force behind Joe Biden’s basement-based presidential campaign. As any economist worth his salt will tell you, a wealth tax is perhaps the most pernicious tax, since it punishes people retroactively for their hard work, thrift and smart...

USA Today Update: ‘Inconclusive’ If American Eagle on Trump Shirt Is Nazi Symbol
by Shifra on July 17, 2020Update: USA Today is so tied up in knots with Trump Derangement Syndrome that they have lost all credibility. They have made fools of themselves twice, first for claiming the American Eagle is a ‘Nazi symbol,’ and now they can’t admit their error. The claim: Trump campaign shirts feature imperial eagle, a Nazi symbol Our ruling: True https://t.co/3eCiYdgQvK — USA TODAY (@USATODAY) July 12, 2020 Update: The rating on this article has been changed to inconclusive. It was updated to reflect further reporting and analysis. — USA TODAY (@USATODAY) July 15, 2020 This is why whenever I go to a hotel and find USA Today under my door it goes in the garbage unopened Not the recycle bin.

Jewish Group To Eric Swalwell: Apologize for Comparing Ric Grenell to Nazi
by Shifra on June 4, 2020Looks like Eric Swalwell didn’t get the memo from Pelosi yesterday: In her little dramatic photo op, she held a Bible and lectured us that this is a time for healing. And no, Eric, there was no “gassing” of protestors before President Trump walked to the church across from the WH. Another unfortunate and disgusting Nazi reference. Someone needs to send him a copy of “Things That Offend The Jewish Community…For Dummies.” Or something. Via Free Beacon. The Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) called on Rep. Eric Swalwell (D., Calif.) to apologize for comparing Richard Grenell, the former U.S. ambassador to Germany, to Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels. After Grenell tweeted about the National Park Service’s denial of using tear gas...

AOC Whines About Having To Choose From 66 Gold-Level Health Plans
by Shifra on December 17, 2019Little Sandy just admitted the gubmint doesn’t do such a great job running health care…so let’s all vote for her Socialist pal Bernie, who would totally control our health care. Via Washington Examiner. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wants to nationalize and control the healthcare of every person in the nation, yet she cannot fathom choosing her own taxpayer-subsidized insurance plan from the 66 generous gold plans offered by the United States Congress. Members of Congress also have to buy their plans off the exchange. They are Gold plans that are partially subsidized. That means I get to “choose” btwn 66 complex financial products. This is absurd. No person should go without healthcare, &no one should go through this, either. pic.twitter.com/bIeD71CD5g —...

Streisand Calls Electoral College ‘An Assault On Our Democratic Principles’
by Shifra on September 8, 2019Barbra Streisand, Trump Derangement Syndrome moonbat, er, noted constitutional scholar, weighs in on why she thinks the Electoral College needs to be abolished. Shorter Streisand: I’m furious that Hillary lost, so let’s change the rules. Via Breitbart. Pop icon Barbra Streisand has declared that the Electoral College, a system widely seen as the bedrock of the U.S constitution and its democratic principles, represents an “assault on our democratic principles.” Speaking to The Washington Post for an article on what the U.S. Constitution represents to herself as well as other progressive figures such as Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Streisand described the system as “antiquated” and advocated replacing it with a system that allows the winner of the popular...

Ocasio-Cortez: Diseases Could Escape From Glaciers Because… Climate Change!
by Shifra on August 28, 2019Apparently, little Sandy lives by the statement widely attributed to P.T. Barnum: “I don’t care what the newspapers say about me as long as they spell my name right.” It doesn’t really seem to matter much to her if her comments are dumb and ridiculous, because the point is to get media attention. Via Daily Caller. Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told fans on a live stream Tuesday that if climate change isn’t stopped, glaciers could melt and expose humans to diseases tens of thousands of years old. “There are a lot of diseases that are frozen in some of these glaciers that scientists fear that there is a potential that a lot of diseases could escape these melted...

Bernie Tries To Praise Communist China, Accidentally Promotes… Capitalism
by Shifra on August 28, 2019Hey Bernie, next: praise the United States of America. We’re waiting… Maybe Bernie favors China because, as reported by Free Beacon: In China, the Communist Party requires all religions to pledge ultimate loyalty to President Xi Jinping, who is atop a one-party system that does not allow political opposition. Via Daily Wire. Socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders…attempted to praise communist China on Tuesday during an interview with The Hill and accidentally ended up promoting capitalism. “China is a country that is moving unfortunately in a more authoritarian way in a number of directions,” Sanders told Hill.TV’s Krystal Ball. “But what we have to say about China in fairness to China and it’s leadership is if I’m not mistaken they have made...

Omar, Tlaib Push ‘Boycott Israel!’… Yet Are Using Israeli Technology On Their Websites
by Shifra on July 23, 2019Yes, looks like Israel really “hypnotized” these two into using their technology 🙂 But if Omar and Tlaib want to be consistent in their hatred of Israel and their calls to boycott the Jewish state, they need to start by throwing out their iPhones because, yes, Apple uses an Israeli-developed chip. They also need to immediately stop texting, because, yep, SMS technology was developed in Israel. They should also remove all anti-virus software and personal firewalls from their computers because… Israel! And they should definitely check out this list: So You Want to Boycott Israel? Here’s A List of Products and Services You Need to Start With HT Twitchy. The awkward moment when the anti Zionist @IlhanMN notices that her...

‘Baffling Errors:’ Lib NY Daily News: ‘John Glenn’ Was First Man On ‘Planet’ Moon
by Shifra on July 16, 2019Seems that the NYDN writer follows the ‘Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Journalistic Standard:’ More important to be “morally right” than “factually correct.” Or something. Via Free Beacon. New York Daily News made a series of baffling errors in a retrospective article on the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission…. “Four days later John Glenn would step onto the only other planet we have ever walked on, and uttered the famous words ‘on [sic] small step for a man, one giant step for mankind.'” Not including the typo, that sentence contained several glaring errors. Most obviously, Neil Armstrong was the first man to step foot on the moon. John Glenn was the first American to orbit the Earth, but he played no...

Mazie Hirono Was Asked About ‘New NAFTA’ USMCA. She Responds: “The What?”
by Shifra on July 14, 2019Sen. Mazie Hirono needs to put down her “I hate Trump” megaphone, and start brushing up on some basic reading. Perhaps “Issues Congress May Have To Vote On…For Dummies” would be a good start. Via Daily Caller. Hawaii Democratic Sen. Mazie Hirono did not know what the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) was when asked by a reporter Thursday if she would be for moving forward with the replacement to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The USMCA, a change from NAFTA, is a bipartisan trade agreement that some think could benefit America’s farmers, ranchers, businesses, and workers. Once approved by Congress, the USMCA is supposed to help longstanding trade problems by giving American businesses more freedom to sell their...

Video: Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters Spews Anti-Israel Hatred in Bizarre Rant
by Shifra on May 17, 2019It would be easy to dismiss Waters’ rant as just unhinged babbling from an aging rocker who might have taken too many drugs over the years, or maybe needs medical attention. However, Waters is a prominent spokesperson for the anti-Israel BDS movement – Boycott, Divest, Sanction – which claims they are not anti-Semitic, even though he and his buddies, including UK Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn – routinely praise Hamas for their terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians. This clip exposes what the BDS movement really stands for: Denial that Jews have a legitimate claim to the land of Israel. His face is twisted with rage because Israel is hosting the Eurovision song contest this weekend. And what brings him “joy” ?...

ICYMI: Ocasio-Cortez At SXSW Conference Compares Herself To… MLK
by Shifra on March 12, 2019Yes, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has quickly become a legend…in her own mind. So here’s a little reality check for her: As reported by the New York Post, more than 80% of eligible voters stayed home on Election Day, and only about 13 percent of registered Democrats turned out to vote in her district; out of all active registered Democratic voters in the district — 214,750 — only 27,744 voted, and Ocasio-Cortez won by more than 4,000 votes. Sounds like an underwhelming victory. Via American Mirror. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez genuinely believes her election victory in arguably the most liberal district in America makes her story comparable to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr…. The conversation began when host Briahna Gray asked about the...

Progressives Panic: Ocasio-Cortez’s Ignorance Will Hand Trump A 2020 Win
by Shifra on February 18, 2019Did Alexandria major in economics? Because after the NYC-Amazon debacle, it looks like she majored in Lunch. She actually celebrated the loss of 25,000 jobs in NYC. And suggested that the $3B in tax credits that NYC was planning to give to Amazon should be invested in her district. Could someone please explain to Alexandria that a future tax credit is not the same thing as a pile o’ cash? Via Free Beacon. MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” broke away from its daily grievances with President Donald Trump Friday to accuse Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) of economic illiteracy and helping reelect the president. For seven minutes Friday morning, the show’s hosts and guests worried that the self-proclaimed Democratic-socialist was flaunting her...

Ocasio-Cortez Flip-Flops On ‘Massive Gov’t Intervention,’ Gaffe-Plagued Plan Taken Offline
by Shifra on February 8, 2019As expected, Ocasio-Cortez’s New Green Deal was met with mocking on social media; FBN’s Dagen Mcdowell noted on Twitter: In the South this kind of “Green Dream” brilliance could be explained by too many Jell-O shots; while @texasroofclean commented: If this were Jeopardy the question would be: Things a 10 year old that attends public school would say. And WSJ’s Kimberley Strassel, in a series of tweets: ‘I Was Laughing So Hard I Nearly Cried’ But as Tammy noted earlier this week, before this disastrous roll-out, via Fox News: Tammy Bruce: ‘New Green Deal’ = New Green Hoax Here’s a scoop for you: The so-called “Green New Deal,” onto which 70 leading Democrats have signed, doesn’t exist.

Cortez: “We’re Like, World Ending In 12 Years” Because… Climate Change
by Shifra on January 22, 2019I would send her a copy of Climate Alarm: Failed Prognostications but like, “prognostications” is a big word for, like, a twelve year old. And maybe she picked “twelve” years because the number “ten” was already used…when Al Gore, in January 2006, predicted the world would end in ten years, because of ‘Climate Change.’ Or something. Via Fox News. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., spoke out on Monday about the urgency to take on climate change, comparing it to World War II. Speaking at an event commemorating Martin Luther King Day, Ocasio-Cortez expressed how the issue of climate change is a “generational” issue that younger people are more focused on. “Millennials and people, you know, Gen Z and all these folks...
