Leftists Love To Tout Sweden As ‘Utopia,’ But Omit Its Darker Side
by Shifra on October 6, 2019Did you know, as the following report indicates, that Sweden carried out forced sterilization on some of its citizens until 1976? And that government agents made weekly inspections of government-owned housing to ensure that windows were opened at certain times of the day, that no one wore shoes inside, and to check if everyone bathed, at least once a week? Bernie Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez and their fellow leftists point to Sweden as a model for transforming the U.S. into a ‘Utopia.’ But a new book by Swedish author Elisabeth Asbrink, “Made in Sweden,” highlights the darker side of the Swedish welfare state. Via NY Post. When Elisabeth Asbrink invites you to visit her in Stockholm, Sweden, be sure to wear your...

Why Are We Spending Taxpayer Money On ‘Celebrating’ Che Guevara ?
by Shifra on October 2, 2019I am always shocked when I see “progressive” parents trotting out their little kiddies who sport “Che” t-shirts. Either totally clueless about history, are just stupidly “celebrating revolution.” Or something. And why are we spending taxpayer dollars on celebrating Che Guevara, a ruthless psychopathic mass murderer who sadistically tortured his victims? Time to defund the National Endowment for the Arts. Let “Babs” Streisand and her Hollywood pals shell out their own money. Via Washington Examiner. Florida Sens. Marco Rubio and Rick Scott cosigned a letter to the National Endowment for the Arts sharply criticizing them for their support of works that feature communist revolutionary and suspected mass murderer Ernesto “Ché” Guevara. The GOP senators cited a Texas museum that had...

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...

Iowa College Removes ‘I Am Antifa’ Prof Who Wanted To ‘Bash’ POTUS With Bat
by Shifra on August 26, 2019Remember when anyone who openly announced support for a domestic terrorist organization, stated they wanted to bash the President of the United States with a baseball bat, and publicly shared a “poem” about Christians that reads “Kill them all, and bury them deep into the ground, Before millions more are tortured to death”… was placed in a 72-hour psychiatric hold pending further evaluation?

Rep. Ted Lieu Deletes Tweet Accusing Jewish U.S. Ambassador Of ‘Dual Loyalty’
by Shifra on August 16, 2019Let’s assume Rep. Ted Lieu is really so dumb that he did not understand how accusing a Jewish American citizen of “dual loyalty” is an ancient anti-Semitic trope. It dates back to the 4th century BC. In the ‘Book of Esther,’ Haman attempts to turn Ahasuerus, King of the Persian Empire, against the Jews by claiming: There is a certain people, scattered and dispersed among the other peoples in all the provinces of your realm, whose laws are different from those of any other people and who do not obey the king’s laws; and it is not in Your Majesty’s interest to tolerate them. But hey, great job, Democrats, for normalizing these malicious Jew-hating comments. Via Free Beacon. Rep. Ted...

CA Curriculum Praising Omar, Tlaib As ‘Important Leaders’ Will Be Redrafted
by Shifra on August 14, 2019History would be replaced by “hxrstories,” cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal and convicted Puerto Rican terrorists would be elevated to status of “heroes,” praising the anti-Israel BDS movement and referring to Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) as “important leaders”? Yeah, no. Via WSJ: California Wants to Teach Your Kids That Capitalism Is Racist ….Capitalism is described as a “form of power and oppression,” alongside “patriarchy,” “racism,” “white supremacy” and “ableism.” Capitalism and capitalists appear as villains several times in the document…. Teachers are encouraged to cite the biographies of “potentially significant figures” such as Angela Davis, Frantz Fanon and Bobby Seale. Convicted cop-killers Mumia Abu-Jamal and Assata Shakur are also on the list….The Latino section’s people of significance include...

Mayor de Blasio Violated Rules, Had NYPD Help His Daughter Move
by Shifra on August 12, 2019Nice going, Mayor Bill “Worst-Mayor-Ever-In-The-History-of-NYC” de Blasio, using your personal security detail from the NYPD to move your daughter’s furniture back to Gracie Mansion. Because apparently, rules are for the ‘Little People,’ not for the Elite. Via NYDN. City conflict of interest rules clearly bar Mayor de Blasio and his family from ordering police detectives to help move Chiara de Blasio out of an apartment in Brooklyn, ethics experts told the Daily News. City law says it is a violation of the city charter “for any public servant to use City letterhead, personnel, equipment, resources, or supplies for any non-City purpose.” A former high-ranking official with the city Conflicts of Interest board batted down the excuse de Blasio spokeswoman Freddi...

AOC Chief of Staff: ‘Green New Deal’ Not About Climate Change, It’s To Change Economy
by Shifra on July 11, 2019Well, we knew that all along, but thanks for admitting that your “boss,” little Sandy Ocasio-Cortez, lied when she said the world will end in twelve years if we don’t address ‘Climate Change.’ Or something… Via Free Beacon. Saikat Chakrabarti, chief of staff for New York representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D.), said that the Green New Deal was not about the climate, but rather about tearing down the economy and building a new one, according to a report from The Washington Post. “The interesting thing about the Green New Deal is it wasn’t originally a climate thing at all,” Chakrabarti said, according to the Post. “Do you guys think of it as a climate thing? Because we really think of it...

Tom Steyer Decides to Enter Dem 2020 Race, Will Spend $100M
by Shifra on July 9, 2019Memo to Tom Steyer: Hillary Clinton’s losing campaign cost a record $1.2B. And President Trump is on track to raise $2B. But go ahead and spend your measly $100M. 🙂 Here is a less-than-stellar WSJ “endorsement” of Tom Steyer in a 2017 column: ….Who knows what goes on in the head of somebody like Mr. Steyer? He pays Democratic operatives to tell him what a great guy he is, and they take his money and spend it on Democratic politics as usual. Mr. Steyer is the talking head in an open-collar shirt now seen in a $20 million petition campaign calling on Congress to impeach a cartoon version of Mr. Trump. The ads are running on the national news channels—and...

Liz Warren Staffer Deletes Anti-Israel Tweet Stating He Would Be ‘Friend’ Of Hamas
by Shifra on July 9, 2019Warren staffer Max Berger is an anti-Israel activist who has a long history of spreading lies about Israel and PM Benjamin Netanyahu. And in some recently-deleted tweets, he accused President Trump of “inciting anti-Jewish violence” in the US, and also called Trump’s support of ICE “ethnic cleansing.” Elizabeth Warren is either totally tone-deaf, or she is so desperate for votes that she will pander to just about anyone: Yesterday, she absurdly told a group of anti-Israel activists that if elected president, she would push Israel to end the “occupation” of Palestinians. Someone needs to remind Warren that Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip in 2005 under their unilateral disengagement plan, and Gaza has since become a launching pad for rockets...

Epic Fail: UK Anti-Trump Protest Hoping For 250K Draws Dismal Crowd
by Shifra on June 4, 2019Jeremy Corbyn, leader of Britain’s Labour Party, is a known anti-Semite, having called Hamas and Hezbollah his “friends,” laying a wreath at the cemetery where Muslim terrorists who murdered Israeli athletes in Munich in 1972 are buried, and regularly compares Israel to Nazi Germany. He also wrote the foreword to the reissued JA Hobson’s 1902 work, “Imperialism: A Study,” in which the author, a Jew-hating racist, blamed the world’s problems on “a small group of international financiers, chiefly German in origin and Jewish in race,” going on to say that the stock exchange, the press and even the liquor trade was “in the hands of Jews.” Corbyn praised the book as a “great tome,” “very powerful,” “brilliant,” and “correct and...

Lib Writer Praises Progressives for Misleading Americans On Trump Tax Cuts
by Shifra on April 9, 2019So “Progressive” now means “by any means necessary, including outright lies, to make sure President Trump is taken down” ? Ok, got it. Via Free Beacon. Vox writer Matthew Yglesias praised progressive groups for misleading Americans about their taxes Monday. In a tweet, Yglesias praised the “messaging success” over President Donald Trump’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The president signedthe bill into law in December 2017. At the time, then-Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R., Wis.) said the bill would save families making $73,000 per year more than $2,000. “[P]rogressive groups did a really good job of convincing people that Trump raised their taxes,” Yglesias said. At the time, Democratic Party messaging insisted the bill was a catastrophe for...

Bernie Sanders: I Need To Do A Better Job Explaining Socialism
by Shifra on March 20, 2019Memo to Bernie: Keep praising those bread lines and food rationing. Yep, that’ll work 🙂 Via Breitbart. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is running again to be president of the United States, and although he lost the Democratic nomination in 2016, he hopes to earn the mantle this cycle and bring his brand of socialism to power. One thing he hopes to do better on the road to the White House is to do a “better job” explaining socialism. “I think what we have to do, and I will be doing it, is to do a better job maybe in explaining what we mean by socialism — democratic socialism,” Sanders told National Public Radio’s (NPR) Morning Edition on Monday. “Obviously, my...

Steve Scalise Stops Debate With Ocasio-Cortez After Her Followers Mock His Shooting
by Shifra on January 6, 2019As of this writing, no response from Ocasio-Cortez: Hi @AOC. Happy to continue this debate on the Floor of the People’s House, but it’s clearly not productive to engage here with some of your radical followers. #StayClassy pic.twitter.com/lZCO3oiLUZ — Steve Scalise (@SteveScalise) January 6, 2019 But when a reporter asked her if she was giving up her salary during the shutdown, something she had called for all lawmakers, she stated, “I’ve gotta run!” Will she respond to questioning about this story, or will she, you know, “gotta run” ? Note from Tammy: This matters not for partisan reasons, but we’ve seen this issue on both sides of the aisle– people presenting themselves as one thing and they end up being...

CNN Commentator Uses Anti-Israel Slogan Calling For Elimination Of Jewish State UPDATE: CNN Drops Hill
by Shifra on November 29, 2018For the past one and half years, ever since President Trump took office, we have been assaulted with accusations of “racist dog-whistles.” Almost every utterance from the President, from the GOP, from Trump voters, has been twisted by the Left into charges of “racism.” Now we have a hateful message from a CNN commentator, Marc Lamont Hill, who basically just called for the genocide of over 8 million Israelis. The cry of “free Palestine from the river to sea” was uttered by Hill at a UN conference yesterday. The “river” refers to the Jordan River, the “sea” refers to the Mediterranean. The area from “the river to the sea,” from east to west, is approximately nine miles. When President George...
