No, WaPo, Abraham Lincoln Was Not ‘Into’ Karl Marx, Was Not A Socialist
by Shifra on August 8, 2019This Washington Post article is absurd and laughable. You know who was into Karl Marx? No, not AOC. Abraham Lincoln. https://t.co/p7uG2JtEWx — The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) July 27, 2019 But it caught the eye of the Dayton mass-murderer, who took it seriously. HT Heavy. Connor Betts, the Dayton, Ohio mass shooter, was a self-described “leftist,” who wrote that he would happily vote for Democrat Elizabeth Warren, praised Satan, was upset about the 2016 presidential election results, and added, “I want socialism, and i’ll not wait for the idiots to finally come round to understanding.”…. Via Federalist. The Washington Post has seen better days. The newspaper that once brought us Watergate published an article last week titled “You know who was...

ICYMI: Dem Socialist Whine-Fest: Sensory Overload, Gender Pronouns
by Shifra on August 7, 2019No, this is not from The Onion. Because really, you can’t make this stuff up. Personally, er, I mean Quick Point of Personal Privilege: I do believe that a few weeks in Marine Boot Camp would cure these Kindergartners (with apologies to actual five-year-olds) of their self-absorbed whimpering. Via Fox News. The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) National Convention in Georgia this weekend came to a screeching halt when one delegate formally complained of “sensory overload” from “guys” whispering in the room — prompting another “comrade” to grab the microphone to angrily demand an immediate end to the use of “gendered language.” The back-to-back moments of impassioned hypersensitivity at the gathering of the largest socialist organization in the United States...

It’s Official: AOC-Backed Socialist Candidate Concedes Defeat in Queens Primary
by Shifra on August 7, 2019Tiffany Cabán earned the endorsement of Ocasio-Cortez, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and the NYT.

Caban also vowed not to prosecute “low-level crimes.” Her election loss is a clear win for the NYC borough of Queens. Via NY Post.

by Shifra on July 31, 2019Because nothing quite says ‘hypocrisy’ and ‘We live in an irony-free elitist bubble’ than shrieking about the “impending doom” of Global Warming while spewing 100,000 kilograms of CO2 into the air. Have these elites never heard of Skype? GoToMeeting.com ? Via NY Post.

Elizabeth Warren Adds Her Preferred Gender Pronouns ‘She/Hers’ To Twitter Bio
by Shifra on July 19, 2019Ok, good to know that Warren is indeed a cisgender woman, just in case anyone was wondering about that. But “Native American” seems to be missing from her bio. Oh wait… Via Free Beacon. As Democratic presidential candidates are beginning to ramp up to the second Democratic debate, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) has added her preferred gender pronouns to her Twitter account. “U.S. Senator, former teacher, and candidate for president. Wife, mom (Amelia, Alex, Bailey, @CFPB), grandmother, and Okie. She/hers. Official campaign account,” her bio now reads. Warren thus clarified that she identifies as a cisgender woman….

Lib Magazine: Deodorant Is A Tool Of The Patriarchy
by Shifra on June 24, 2019This is not from The Onion…It’s from Slate. So now deodorant is a social construct? Who knew? Via PJ Media. ….The article was chock-full of enough Third Wave Feminist nonsense to make you bring up dinner. For example: …We don’t need aluminum-free deodorant, but the social implications of products that allow women to sweat are good anyway. Deodorants were first sold in the late 1800s, with antiperspirants following shortly thereafter. But it took a bit of time for the concept of masking and/or stopping sweat to take off. Early marketing campaigns, as journalist Sarah Everts has reported, were designed to make women—and they were first marketed just to women—embarrassed about the entire concept of perspiration. A few years ago, Everts...

Virginia Tech Held Ten Separate Cultural Graduation Achievement Ceremonies
by Shifra on June 11, 2019Virginia Tech held separate cultural graduation achievement ceremonies for ten different groups of graduates.

Pennsylvania School Bars Principal From Saying ‘God Bless America’
by Shifra on May 9, 2019Tammy notes, in her latest Washington Times column, How the left targets American history, statues and heroes: In the recent past, attempts to erase American history manifested as protests to remove and vandalizing statues commemorating Confederate generals and Southern Civil War dead. But our past is a fact, one that reminds us how far we have come. We absolutely should have conversations about our history, as being an American is like practicing medicine — you must work at it every day. But becoming a better people and nation requires knowing and understanding your past. Toppling statues and erasing people from paintings and pictures accomplishes one thing — making it impossible to understand who we are….. And erasing beloved patriotic sayings....

College Students Demand Free Laundry Detergent and Fabric Softener Because… Racism
by Shifra on March 13, 2019The “Diaspora Coalition” students at Sarah Lawrence College are also demanding, among a laundry list of freebies: unlimited access to therapy sessions.

Cory Booker: U.S. Is Not ‘Top Country’ To Be Born In
by Shifra on February 27, 2019If the USA is not the “top country” in which to be born, why do so many people around the world dream of coming here? And why do so many risk everything to become part of the American Dream ? Last time I checked, no one was trying to sneak over the border to Iceland. Or Somalia. But since Booker has decided to pander to the Hate-America crowd, here’s a suggestion for his campaign slogan: Make America ‘Meh’ Again Via Free Beacon. Sen. Cory Booker (D., N.J.) questioned the veracity of the American Dream on Tuesday, saying the United States is not necessarily “the top country” to be born today. Booker appeared on the “Pitchfork Economics” podcast with co-hosts Nick...

Ocasio-Cortez: Probably Time To Stop Having Kids Because… Climate Change!
by Shifra on February 25, 2019Now that Alexandria has established herself as “the boss,” she can’t stop babbling like a twelve-year-old, er, warning us of the impending dangers of climate change, or something. Which is just fine, because…Trump 2020 🙂 Via Daily Wire. Democratic socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) suggested on Sunday night that people should consider not having children due to climate change because there is a “scientific consensus” that life will be hard for kids. “Our planet is going to hit disaster if we don’t turn this ship around and so it’s basically like, there’s a scientific consensus that the lives of children are going to be very difficult,” Ocasio-Cortez said while chopping up food in her kitchen during an Instagram live video....

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.

Anti-Trump Climate Change Alarmists To Freezing USA: ‘Cooling Is Warming’
by Shifra on January 31, 2019John Nolte gets this perfectly right: The Trump-hating Climate Change hoaxsters fell all over themselves, beclowning themselves with howling hysteria. Because irony is somehow lost on the leftist MSM mob. Via Breitbart. America enjoys a winter filled with tons of snow and frigid cold weather and out pops the Climate Hoaxsters to assure this kind of weather only further proves our planet is getting, uhm… warmer. This current Climate Hoaxster freak out is largely in reaction to President Trump’s tweet earlier this week mocking the Climate Hoaxsters…. In the beautiful Midwest, windchill temperatures are reaching minus 60 degrees, the coldest ever recorded. In coming days, expected to get even colder. People can’t last outside even for minutes.
