Democrats appear to be on a[nother] suicide mission, determined to pass trillions in new spending and embracing an undependable electric truckload of far-left positions on issues despite warnings that this will surely cost them control of Congress. One might expect Democrats to be more careful considering the shellacking that's been laid on them in response to similarly aggressive pursuits of left-wing legislation in recent past midterms. Given consequential historic defeat and loss of congressional seats during the Clinton and Obama Administrations, why would Dems risk their narrow majorities with a far more robust cornucopia of extreme leftist policies now??

Why Democrats Embrace Suicide Missions

There Was A Time People Like This Would Be Ostracized and Resoundingly Told To Go To Hell
This is the full context of the comments of an important writer with the NYT Editorial Board, @MaraGay, that are well worth listening to given how pervasive these views have become rather quickly in elite media circles: https://t.co/IGDq5A5fMu

This made me think of Katha Pollit's famous reaction to flag displays after the 9/11 attacks. Here: "Put Out No Flags" (The Nation, September 20, 2001):
"My daughter, who goes to Stuyvesant High School only blocks from the World Trade Center, thinks we should fly an American flag out our window. Definitely not, I say: The flag stands for jingoism and vengeance and war. She tells me I’m wrong–the flag means standing together and honoring the dead and saying no to terrorism......."
"It seems impossible to explain to a 13-year-old, for whom the war in Vietnam might as well be the War of Jenkins’s Ear, the connection between waving the flag and bombing ordinary people half a world away back to the proverbial stone age. I tell her she can buy a flag with her own money and fly it out her bedroom window, because that’s hers, but the living room is off-limits."

Mother Jones Whines People Keep Stealing the Language of Wokeness
"So it goes with any message of social transformation. Wokeness becomes synonymous with oppression itself. Black Lives Matter is spun into “blue lives matter.” “I can’t breathe” is adopted by anti-maskers as their smirking slogan. The mantras and catchwords of movements that challenge the status quo are co-opted by reactionaries who want to quash those efforts. Perhaps no phrase has undergone this type of distortion more prominently than the phrase “Black Lives Matter.” The “all lives matter” rhetoric was just the beginning of the co-optation.
Today, at any right-wing gathering, you can find supporters of the “blue lives matter” cause (supposedly in support of police officers) and “babies’ lives matter” (for the anti-abortion movement). They’re flipped on their head, turned inside out, repurposed to sneer at the people they were meant to rally, and generally made to seem comical and ridiculous—a rhetorical minstrel act, essentially, whose theme is the old American standby that there’s no greater racist than the anti-racist, no greatest tyrant than the slave who wants to be free."

If Bernie Fails, He Can Always Run For Mayor of Havana
But one place that had glowing praise for comrade Sanders' kind words about the mass murderers who ran the Cuban Revolution was the official voice of the Cuban Communist Party, the newspaper Granma, who thought Bernie's comments were just top shelf.
Granma wrote, “his comments sparked the anger of the most extremist sector of Cuban-Americans in South Florida, who oppose any rapprochement with the Caribbean island.” Cuban exiles and Cuban Americans took to the tweeter and pointed out that the literacy program carried out by Castro after coming to power was highly politicized and were actually just a communist reeducation propaganda program to control the masses.
Bernie could have given a mea culpa. He might have taken the opportunity on 60 Minutes to apologize for his past praise of commie dictatorships and thugs like Fidel Castro. Instead, he went full bore commie and dared people to vote against him for it. This they are going to do with relish. If Bernie really thinks his views on communism don't matter, then he's a fool and deserves to lose.

I Must Apologize To Bernie Sanders
I must humble myself and apologize to Senator Bernie Sanders and the 'Bernie Bros of America' for my spreading of misinformation. I have stated here in previous post that Bernie Sanders, in his long career in Congress dating back to 1990 has never distinguished himself as a member and has only two pieces of legislation he personally sponsored to ever be signed into law. One being a cost of living raise for veterans in 2013, and the other renaming of a Post Office building. I was wrong. It turns out he got a second Post Office renamed.

Well Look At You! Lil' Greta Gets a High Honor
Scientists have named a newly identified species of bug after teen climate alarmist Greta Thunberg. Seems appropriate.
Dubbed Nelloptodes gretae, the bug and Greta share many of the same attributes: both are tiny, both have protrusions from the head, the bug has no wings and Greta refuses to fly, the bug is blind and Greta is blinded to the truth.
Michael Darby, a researcher from the Natural History Museum in London, who described the new beetle in the journal Entomologist's Monthly Magazine, said he settled on the name as a way to pay tribute to Thunberg, who began skipping school on Fridays to protest outside Swedish parliament last year.
For scientists, naming a newly discovered species after themselves is simply not done, which means they need to be a bit more creative. And some have a wicked sense of humor. This is how we now have a parasite named after Bob Marley, Gnathia marleyi, a spider called Spintharus leonardodicaprioi. Even a humorously named golden-haired fly named after Beyonce - Scaptia beyonceae.
Of course, in Kenya they’ve been aware of this bug for thousands of years, and probably have a name for it, but that doesn’t count for anything. Because science is all about White Supremacy.

Creepy Swedish 'Child of the Corn' Is Here to Bring Atmospheric Enlightenment
With her perfectly memorized talking points and shadowy funded Trans-Atlantic yacht trip to New York for the U. N. Climate Summit, the Asperger's afflicted Climate Charlatan, Greta Thunberg, made her first appearance of many I'm sure, on the CBS Morning Show. The sixteen year old will participate in a climate strike outside the White House Friday as part of a six-day visit to bring atmospheric enlightenment to all planet destroying neanderthals .
Greta told the slobbering celebrity star struck hosts that climate change has put the planet “outside its comfort zone.” and World Leaders should panic.
“By ‘panic’ I don’t mean world leaders should literally panic, but that we and they step out of our comfort zone, because the planet is outside its comfort zone. We also need to be outside of our comfort zone to prevent the worst consequences from happening. What I want people to do now is to become aware of the crisis that is here."
"I tell world leaders the science, and how it looks like. It actually had a lot of impact when you speak truth to power and you don’t bother to be polite. We cannot focus on what we can or cannot say; we must speak clearly on what is happening."Will anyone question who is financing her climate alarmist propaganda endeavors? Protesting while a guest in another county is a bit arrogant and rude wouldn't you say? And I'm wondering if she has plans being rude and arrogant in China and India, who’s main domestic product is pollution?
This little girl and her mentally challenged obsession are being used - a poster child for the climate elites who have much to gain monetarily from hyping a natural occurrence as something we caused and is only fixable by them, for a price of course.
I waited for the CBS hosts to ask how is it that CO2 is a greenhouse gas or what courses in thermodynamics she's taken to make her an expert on something as complex as climate studies? Then I remembered I was watching celebrity star struck media talking heads no smarter than she was....

CBC Accuses Commie Front Group of Targeting Black Lawmakers Districts
Members of the Congressional Black Caucus are accusing the Justice Democrats, a far-left group that supports policies like the Green New Deal and Medicare for All, of trying to unseat longtime African-American lawmakers through primaries. Justice Democrats, a commie front group masquerading as political action committee, founded by 'synthetic socialist' Kyle Kulinski and communist Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks, and now controlled by radical Hispanic activist Alexandra Rojas, are perhaps best known for backing Rep. Alexandria Ocashew-Cortex’s primary bid against congressman Joe Crowley, and are now backing primary challengers against 10-term incumbent Rep. Lacy Clay (D-MO) and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), who is viewed to be a potential successor to Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
In the 2018 elections, 7 candidates endorsed by Justice Democrats won in the general election: Raúl Grijalva, Ro Khanna, Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Pramila Jayapal. Look again at those names.
But Justice Democrats may not be stopping there, according to The Hill. Four other black lawmakers could be next:
"And CBC leaders are fretting that Justice Democrats may target other black lawmakers in the coming weeks and months, including Reps. Yvette Clarke(D-N.Y.), Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio), Emanual Cleaver (D-Mo.) and Anthony Brown(D-Md.). Brown said the group has been making calls in his district, actively trying to recruit a challenger to run against him."
"It just seems strange that the social Democrats seem to be targeting members of the Congressional Black Caucus, individuals who have stood and fought to make sure that African Americans are included and part of this process,” Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY) told The Hill."Race has been a hot topic among congressional Democrats this week. Ocasio-Cortez accused Pelosi of picking on “women of color” like herself and Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), and Ayanna Pressley (D-MA). Several members of the CBC defended Pelosi against Ocasio-Cortez’s attacks.
“It does make you wonder what’s going on,” said CBC member Rep. Robin Kelly (D-Ill.). “Some names that have been mentioned all seem to be people of color, and more so CBC members.”Looks like the Caucus of Congressional Black Folks have yet to come to the realization, whether they want to or not, that the more idealistic communist leaning youngsters who don't think their clown show just yelling racism at everything with little to show for their years of pathetic pandering and leaching off the taxpayers, are saying get outta of the way.
It's no longer the homegrown. It's now time for sons and daughters of third world foreign immigrants, with no allegiance to the American Ideal or respect for her heritage, to take the reins of the useless party they have become.
