AOC Becomes De Facto House Minority Leader

Original Article

Posted By: gaboy, 9/22/2025 1:27:06 AM

Before last Friday’s House vote on a symbolic resolution condemning the assassination of Charlie Kirk and all forms of political violence while honoring his life, the purported leaders of the Democratic Caucus informed its members that they would support the measure. Yet, in a truly vile floor speech prior to the vote, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y) called the resolution “reckless” and claimed Kirk’s “rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.” In the end, less than half of the Democrats voted for the resolution. The rest stood with AOC.

Well, I hold some hope that about half of them refused to jump into AOC's blind hate boat. This is a welcomed change--though surprising. If Erika can forgive the person who murdered her husband, I feel that the least I can do is refuse to hate those democrats who refused to join with the haters within their own party. After all, Charlie wanted us to talk things out, not shoot at each other.

The Dem world is shrinking and factions are battling each other for control of the party. Just let it play out - the winner will simply rule over the ruins of the Dem party.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-umbass) has attracted a following of dimwits like herself to oppose anything good and decent. They all suffer from the same problems of low IQ and lack of common sense, but it's their numbers that count in voting, not their collective intelligence. We need a simple procedure to rid the House of defective representives like herself and Omar to prevent them from multiplying. One requirement should be being able to have accomplished something good in their years of talking like imbeciles and collecting pay and benefits in excess of what they have conributed that is useful to America.

There is "political opposition" and then is pure evil. Political opposition needs to be defeated at the polls. Pure evil requires a different solution.

When I worked for the government, at annual appraisal time, we had to submit a written explanation of any and everything we’d done during the past year to deserve a good appraisal. I think that might be what politicians should have to do. Offer it to the public for scrutiny.

We need a LOT more people in Congress who understand that AOC and Crockett and Omar et al are existential threats to peace in America. These women are not merely stupid and evil. They are funded by multi-billionaires whose nefarious purposes far outstrip the mental midgetry on the women being paid by them. The pay-ers are powerful and have captured most institutions in America including media and the internet. We are in a situation right now that will take a miracle to pull us out of without major bloodshed. And maybe with it.

AOC has a very high opinion of herself and thinks she’s exactly what the Democrat Party needs. Right now the Party is split into those that have decided to openly support Socialism and those that are cringing but too gutless to oppose her. The voters are another matter. While the percentage of Democrats supporting Socialists is rather eye opening it doesn’t come anywhere near close to enough to prevail. That’s not who most of us are. We don’t riot and demonstrate for TV cameras. We vote.

The tragedy in all this is that the progressives have repeated this slander so often that many of them now believe their own lies are true. The best thing we can do is replace them in the next election with people who are rational. It is terrible thing to realize that these politicians hate anyone who doesn’t agree with them to the point they wish they were dead.

The left is in the middle of a full-blown manic response over Jimmy Kimmel's show being indefinitely preempted after a decision by affiliates and ABC. This followed Kimmel's disgraceful remarks alleging MAGA was desperately trying to spin the narrative that Kirk's accused killer wasn't one of them. That flew in the face of facts that the authorities have laid out regarding the case, and frankly, could deceive the public. ABC decided to pull the show after its Nexstar affiliate called the comments "offensive." That sparked a meltdown from Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who blamed Trump.

Generally speaking, when people jump to the conclusion that there was a conspiracy to commit some heinous act, it is a mistake to jump down that rabbit hole without first seeing a lot of evidence that it hides something dangerous. So when people started whispering about a conspiracy to kill Kirk, I thought that it was likely just paranoid musings that led in that direction. After all, lone crazy people do things often enough. But in this case it is beginning to look like this was a Trantifa conspiracy, and the FBI is seriously investigating links between trans activists who explicitly said online things that

Late last week NBC ran a “news” story featuring a dozen disgruntled federal judges whose rulings against various Trump administration policies have been stayed or overturned by the Supreme Court. These lower court judges, none of whom had the courage to allow NBC to name them in the article, bewailed the failure of SCOTUS to provide sufficient justification for ruling against them. It’s blindingly obvious, however, that the real issue they are whining about is the Court’s refusal to countenance their usurpation of the President’s Article II powers and frustrate implementation of his agenda.

Whew, better late than never! That was my first reaction to the news that President Trump intends to give Rudy Giuliani the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The announcement followed the serious weekend car crash in New Hampshire that sent the 81-year-old Giuliani to the hospital. Thankfully, his injuries, said to include a broken vertebrae, are not life-threatening and he has been released from the hospital. A likely result is Trump’s presentation will focus almost exclusively on Giuliani’s greatest achievement: His stellar tenure as New York’s mayor.
Burning Question About Flag Desecration 5 replies

When President Trump signed his August 25th executive order setting guidelines under which burning an American flag can be prosecuted, we quickly learned how ignorant his critics are about the constitutional and cultural implications of desecrating this revered national symbol. Indeed, it appears that very few of these people actually read the President’s EO. It does not, as most Democrats and alleged experts insist, violate the 1989 Supreme Court ruling in Texas v. Johnson that flag burning is protected speech under the First Amendment.

Just eight years ago, in those halcyon days of 2017, millions of women took to the streets in pink “pussy” hats to protest the election of President Donald Trump, who they saw as an affront to women. The Women’s March planted leftists’ enraged flag in the sand — and eight months later they swamped social media and America’s airwaves to excoriate sexual harassment in the workplace. Protecting and believing women was the movement’s clarion call, with the hashtag #MeToo a symbol of women standing together against predators and abusers.And now, in 2025, they have once again taken to the streets to rally around . . . a credibly accused wife-beater.

Death Penalty for Kirk Assassin? Bad Idea 38 replies
Posted by FlyRight 9/23/2025 4:45:22 AM Post Reply
I am not opposed to using the death penalty for specific heinous crimes. Certainly, it was warranted for Timothy McVeigh, and Charlie Kirk’s killing was indeed heinous. However, the alleged assassin is Tyler Robinson and that gives me pause, because there are thousands of Tylers out there ready to make him a martyr. This hate-filled, deluded, brainwashed community has been groomed deliberately by a Machiavellian academia since the 1960s. There was a time when public education institutions were staffed with unbiased professors and educated their students with genuine facts and encouraged independent thought. That was back then.

The order comes after Trump teased slapping a terror label on the radical “anti-fascist” group last week. “I hereby designate Antifa as a ‘domestic terrorist organization,’” read the president’s order. “All relevant executive departments and agencies shall utilize all applicable authorities to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle any and all illegal operations – especially those involving terrorist actions — conducted by Antifa or any person claiming to act on behalf of Antifa, or for which Antifa or any person claiming to act on behalf of Antifa provided material support,

Just as the United Nations was preparing to begin its annual general assembly, which will be headlined by President Donald Trump on Tuesday, the United States Secret Service discovered a "massive hidden telecom network" in New York, with startling implications. According to reports, the now-dismantled system included over 300 servers and 100,000 fake SIM cards that could have been used to overwhelm the 911 network and disable large portions of the city's cell tower network. The dismantled system consisted of over 300 SIM servers and more than 100,000 SIM cards spread within a 35-mile radius of the United Nations headquarters. Investigators say the network could have blacked out

France and Saudi Arabia hope to use this year’s gathering of world leaders at the United Nations General Assembly and the increasingly horrific war in the Gaza Strip to inject new urgency into the quest for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Those efforts include a new road map for eventual Palestinian statehood in territories Israel seized in the 1967 Mideast war, and moves by several Western countries to join a global majority in recognizing such a state before it has been established. Britain, Canada and Australia formally recognized a Palestinian state on Sunday, joining nearly 150 countries that have already done so,
