   Aw shit, that makes too much sense to survive the creatures –
   “We need to modernize our higher-education system to make it more affordable, flexible and outcomes-oriented, so all Americans, young and old, can learn the skills they need to secure and retain good-paying jobs,” Ivanka Trump said on a call with reporters.
   A primary goal of the proposal is to curb the growth of college tuition rates and reduce the nation’s student debt load, which has reached nearly $1.5 trillion and has more than tripled since 2003.
   The White House’s proposed solution is to cap federal loan programs available to students’ parents and to graduate students. The plan doesn’t propose specific limits, but officials suggested it could vary based on academic program.

   My, things have changed in just two short months. Day of the thin skin Rage, day two.
   “When ‘centrists’ care more about the GOP base than the Dem base, bigotry gets legitimized,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote in response to a tweet on her ratings. “This is the playbook. GOP does it w/ virtually every Dem figure who isn’t a white male: otherize, demonize + splinter. It’s vital that we adapt & dismantle this approach, not cow to it.”
   “We can’t gloss over it, or quietly consider that the ‘shrewd’ thing to do is nominate someone who won’t be subject to bigoted attacks,” Ocasio-Cortez continued. “Morally, we can’t give a pass to this dangerous tactic. But even politically, the Dem base is all the people you demoralize by not standing up.”
   Replies:
   -“No—this is your playbook,” Allie Beth Stuckey tweeted. “You constantly & falsely claim the only grounds on which anyone in the GOP criticizes you is bigotry. In reality, you ignore their calls for policy convo/debate to avoid proving what we know: you’re not prepared to be publicly challenged on anything.”
   -“She really likes nailing herself to the cross, doesn’t she?” Derek Hunter tweeted. “You aren’t the victim; you’re the perp.”
   -“Or the drop in approval numbers is a reflection that 15,000 votes in one district’s primary doesn’t make you, “the boss” of the rest of the country,” Duane Patterson tweeted.

    The Leftinista march towards Tryanny continues.
    1) Stacking the court with more Justices. Recycling more of FDR’s ideas. The Left claims they believe in our institutions but the reality is they do not. No way. The Left has always replied on SCOTOS to get through their agenda instead of going through Congress. They have no faith in Congress or our institutions. Their faith is in SCOTUS to force their will on the all.

    2) Eliminate the Electoral College.
    The Electoral College worked exactly as our genius founders designed it in 2016. Exactly. Perfect. Now they are trying an end run around the Amendment process. Suppose in your state, the people vote for Candidate B. Candidate A wins the popular vote and suddenly all your state’s votes are nullified and the votes given to Candidate A.
    Talk about massive disenfranchisement of voters on a statewide scale! Mob rule. Death of the Republic.

    Nice to see the court at the text of the statue/law passed by Congress and signed by a President.
    “The court also ruled the government maintains broad discretion to decide who would represent a danger to the community in deciding who to release or detain.”
    “Associate Justice Samuel Alito wrote the majority opinion, stating that “neither the statute’s text nor its structure” supported the immigrants’ argument. The court’s conservative justices sided with the Trump administration, which argued as the Obama administration did, against hearings for those convicted of crimes and affected by the law.”

    Braying jackass: “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. Obviously, my right-wing colleagues here want to paint that as authoritarianism and communism and Venezuela, and that’s nonsense.” —Sen. Bernie Sanders
    Alpha Jackass: “Words have consequences, like saying we have an invasion on our border and talking about people as though they were different in some fatal way. I think that the public discourse from the president on down is a factor in some of these actions [such as the New Zealand shooting].” —Sen. Richard Blumenthal
    Oops: “I’m told I get criticized by the new left. I have the most progressive record for anybody running for the — of anybody who would run. … I didn’t mean it.” —Joe Biden
    Braying Jenny: “I disagree with most of what the vice president stands for, when he makes decisions about our LGBTQ community in a way that doesn’t understand that they should be entitled to full equality and all rights under the law as any other American. I disagree with him when he suggests it’s not possible to have meetings with women alone by himself. I think that’s ridiculous — the idea that you would deny a professional woman the opportunity to have a meeting with the vice president of the United States is outrageous.” —Sen. Kamala Harris
    Non Compos Mentis: “Islamophobia is real. White supremacy is real. Hatred is real. From New Zealand to the U.S. or no matter where you live, we deserve better — we all deserve to live free from fear and violence.” —Planned Parenthood Action (Genocide of the unborn is real.)

    Sorry George I cannot get beyond what a disgusting person Trump is and I truly believe him to be mentally ill. Remember when the Republican Party made character such a big deal when Pappa Bush ran against Clinton? What happened to that Party George? They were actually right about Clinton because he was a slime but they show no interest in holding Trump to any standards of behavior that a President should maintain at least to be an influence to children and younger generations. I was a kid when Eisenhower was President and I remember feeling that he was a truly good man. What are kids supposed to think about Trump and the standard of behavior he demonstrates? Is that something they should emulate?

    Being a protected class will not protect you if you tell too much of the truth in the federal republic –
    German armed forces commissioner Hans-Peter Bartels agreed on Tuesday with Grenell’s assessment that the new military budget is dangerously now. Bartels cited painful defects in German military hardware and said German soldiers believe their country’s pledge to NATO should be “predictably and reliably implemented.”
    Germans who were critical of Merkel’s open-door refugee policies over the past few years will not be pleased to hear their government cite the soaring cost of refugee services as one of the primary reasons the military budget cannot be increased.
    Grenell responded on Monday to advance word that Germany’s new budget plan calls for defense spending to peak at 1.37 percent of national income in 2020, but then begin declining to 1.25 percent by 2023.
    NATO members are supposed to spend 2 percent on defense, a target the Trump administration has insisted upon much more vigorously than previous administrations. The Germans previously pledged to reach 1.5 percent by 2024, which is still much lower than their NATO commitment.

    FYI, reading the linked story that came up for Eisenhowers, ummm, extramarital doodling, I was fascinated by the babe JFK was passed by the Chairman of the Board himself, Sinatra. Judith Exner was the ex-wife of an actor who had two significant parts in the old Star Trek, William Campbell, who played a Klingon captain and the Squire of Gothos, Trelaine.
    Ms. Exner was also screwing mobster Sam Giancana at the same time as JFK. Neither were full time or exclusive jobs.

    The concertina wire installed under the Trump administration to reinforce the U.S.-Mexico border is now being stolen and used to protect Tijuana residences as the city grapples with a surge in crime, officials confirmed Monday.
    Thieves are stealing and selling the same concertina wire installed in November along the border by the Department of Homeland Security, and 15 to 20 arrests have already been made, city officials said.
    Contractors were seen Monday at a border fence on the U.S. side of the Colonia Libertad neighborhood of Tijuana, replacing some of the stolen wire.
    Some homes in the same area had identical wire installed in front of their homes, as an added layer of protection to their property lines and fences, but residents declined to comment about how they obtained the material.
    “I don’t actually live here in this house, so I have no idea how that wire got here,” said one woman who declined to give her name in Colonia Libertad at a house where the razor wire was visible in front.
    Tijuana was the most violent city in the world in 2018.

    Following the press conference, Acosta accused Enjeti of asking Trump a softball question, but it seems the CNN reporter wasn’t paying close attention because the question was directed at the Brazilian president, as opposed to Trump.
    “The question was asked in a way that really teed it up, like a game of tee-ball here in the Rose Garden. The president was just sort of served up a softball, there, when he was asked whether or not the Democrats are advancing a lot of socialist ideas. You heard Bolsaonaro go off on that as well,” Acosta said on CNN immediately after the press conference.
    Acosta accused Enjeti of lobbing an easy question about socialism to Trump, but the Daily Caller reporter didn’t ask Trump the question about socialism.
    After Enjeti asked Trump a pair of questions about the Supreme Court and social media, he directed his third question to Bolsaonaro.
    “President Bolsaonaro, in another question on the 2020 election, a number of Democrats who are running to replace the president have embraced or considered socialist ideas. You’ve spoken critically of that in the past,” Enjeti said. “If a socialist, or a candidate who embraces socialism were to replace the president, how would it affect your relations with the United States?”
    Bolsaonaro answered that he would respect whoever emerges as the next president but expect Trump to be re-elected. Trump did not respond to Enjeti’s question about socialism despite Acosta’s claim.

    The Daily Caller reported that Ocasio-Cortez, along with chief of staff and former campaign chair Saikat Chakrabarti, have been removed from the board of the political action committee after previously holding “legal control over the entity” in late 2017 and early 2018.
    The Daily Caller had reported earlier this month on Ocasio-Cortez and Chakrabarti’s role with the PAC, noting that the congresswoman never disclosed to the Federal Election Commission that they “controlled the PAC while it was simultaneously supporting her primary campaign.” Former FEC officials said at the time this could represent violations of campaign finance law.
    It was Justice Democrats that helped catapult Ocasio-Cortez from obscurity to an upset primary win over then-Rep. Joe Crowley to an election win in November. The group runs a recruitment program by which activists can nominate grassroots candidates for office to challenge incumbent Democrats, and Ocasio-Cortez gave her support to that push in a video in January. The group has also backed her on issues such as “Medicare-for-all” and the Green New Deal.
