[‘Socialism is good for you.’  Now we have Crazy Bernie and Pocahontas claiming that the USSR, China, Cuba, … weren’t really real socialist countries; that they were ruled by tyrants instead of the finely fashioned fettle of fearless führers that they would become.  Someone should ask them to name a single socialist country that didn’t quickly descend into the tyrannical cesspools that recent history has shown us over and over again.  But the Dems are betting, after having screwed up America’s education system sufficiently, that today none of our younger generation have a clue about the various flavors and evolutions of collectivism, and of the hundreds of millions of their own people that what started out as socialism wound up killing over the last 100 years.  gjr]

    The littlest commie congresscritters doppelganger –
    “Hello, like, I’m AOC, because I can’t spell Alexandria Ocasio Cortez. So, it turns out socialism is not short for social media,” Martinez said, while wearing lipstick and glasses similar to the real Ocasio-Cortez.
    “I should have known it wasn’t short for social media because the only other socialist is a 93-year-old man from Vermont,” she said, referring to Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. “There’s no way Bernie’s Instagram is lit.”
    “AOC in 2023!” one slogan read, apparently implying that Ocasio-Cortez wouldn’t know when the next midterm election would occur.
    In Tuesday’s video, “Mini AOC” said she’d finally realized how bad socialism was, asking, “Who would anyone want the government running their life?”
    “I work in government and like, I had to get a new computer because my old one had so much white-out on the screen. Would you want me running your life?” she asked.
    In another video posted in April, Martinez took aim at Ocasio-Cortez’s stance on climate change. “Like, in July, the climate was 96 degrees and in February the climate was 36 degrees. OMG, like that’s a huge change in the climate,” she said.

    MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota campaign finance officials said last week that U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar misused campaign funds in violation of state rules. They also revealed that she had filed joint tax returns with her husband years before they were legally married and at a time when she was married to another man.
    The revelation put the freshman representative under more scrutiny from critics who have taken issue with her marital past.

    I’ll put Paul’s latest “rope-a-doping” in with his past delusions, including his claims before November ’16 that the problem after the election would be the reeducation of GOP voters to bring them back to being able to function in society after their world was torn apart.
    Instead, progressive snowflakes spent days in bed moping that their world was not what they thought.
    This time Paul was not only claiming Trump was illiterate and innumerate, but that he (Paul) was more literate than Trump.

    https://www.foxnews.com/politics/jon-stewart-blasts-congress-over-9-11-fund-hearing-drove-me-nuts-there-were-empty-seats
    “Jon Stewart called on lawmakers to back up their words with actions on the 9/11 victims’ compensation fund and help American heroes who are still suffering today.
    Stewart made the comments in an interview Tuesday on “Shepard Smith Reporting,” telling host Shepard Smith 9/11 first responders and victims should be viewed as a priority beyond tweets and well-wishes.
    “That drove me nuts,” the comedian said after being asked by Smith about the empty seats he saw on the Hill. “They kept saying it’s a ‘sub-subcommittee’. There’s still people on the sub-subcommittee that aren’t here.
    “Either 9/11 was a priority or it wasn’t. But, your deeds have to at some point match your tweets and your words. Today it didn’t.”

    Oh, Punchy just drops by to show us he ain’t as dead as he looks. Saying he is more literate than Trump….well, where to you go from there? Guess the only direction is up.
    The morning after the 2016 election, Punchy runs over here and the first thing out of his pie hole is “Nevada County is Blue. Yes it is!” That how he takes disappointing news…a big loss for the chap. He needed something to lift his spirits now that Trump was President-elect. Then, as soon as the recent special election results came in, the first thing he did was run over here and say, “Nevada County is Blue. Yes it is!”
    When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Good boy.
    Punchy kind of disappointed me with this latest mental episode of his. Maybe he did not open the Time Warp Machine door all the way or something. First came the ole “Nevada County is Blue.” Then came pot. Pot this, pot, pot, pot. Herb. Grass. Nevada County growers. Nevada City pot shops. Haha, Nevada County is dope country!
    Ok, but that’s only two out of three. That’s all Punchy has talked about for years…and I mean years….besides the consistent hate Bush, hate Trump. Where were the Punchy Polls? It just ain’t the same without the polls. Pot, polls, and Nevada County is Pulsating Blue. Its his safe spot in his disintegrating mind. When all else fails, when storm clouds gather on the horizon, reach out to the safe spot in your melon and say three times, “Nevada County is Blue”. Then click your heels together, and dream of marijuana and favorable polling. Life is good once again.
    It is a waste of time asking Punchy to submit ideas or solutions. He has none. He runs on hate. Sad. Sadder still is he sunk to a new level of mental degradation. Painful to watch. “I am more literate than Trump.” Well, as the song goes, “A man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.” Its a pretty sight. I take no pleasure in his suffering.

    “President Donald Trump—who boasted over the weekend that his success in life was a result of “being, like, really smart”—communicates at the lowest grade level of the last 15 presidents, according to a new analysis of the speech patterns of presidents going back to Herbert Hoover.
    The analysis assessed the first 30,000 words each president spoke in office, and ranked them on the Flesch-Kincaid grade level scale and more than two dozen other common tests analyzing English-language difficulty levels. Trump clocked in around mid-fourth grade, the worst since Harry Truman, who spoke at nearly a sixth-grade level.
    At the top of the list were Hoover and Jimmy Carter, who were basically at an 11th-grade level, and President Barack Obama, in third place with a high ninth-grade level of communicating with the American people.
    The Flesch-Kincaid scale was developed in 1975 for the U.S. Navy to assess the relative difficulty of training manuals. A database of Trump’s words, compiled by the incomparable factba.se, ran the comparative analysis yesterday, in response to the president’s claim that he is “a genius.”
    So – Trump used to be ‘literally Hitler’ but now he’s been uncovered. “Trump clocked in around mid-fourth grade, the worst since Harry Truman, who spoke at nearly a sixth-grade level.”
    Paul voted for the guy that said we have 57 states and pronounces corpsman as ‘korps-man’.
    Found any Trump internment camps, Paul?
    Hows the employment rate for non-white boys under Trump doing vs Obama?
    Of course Paul only voted for Obama when Obama said marriages were for one boy and one girl. When Obama ‘got educated’ and decided to flip on the issue, Paul wouldn’t vote for Obama no mo’.
    Paul can explain, I’m sure.
    Although it seems he never has explained.
    But he shows up here non-stop to claim victory.

    “While the president became the first foreign leader to meet with the new emperor of Japan, Pelosi announced she would like to see Trump in prison.
    The president then had a widely watched dinner with Queen Elizabeth at Buckingham Palace.
    The meetings with Prime Minister Theresa May and other British government leaders also went well.
    The anti-Trump crowds in London were tiny compared to the massive crowds that used to oppose President Ronald Reagan (of course Russian President Vladimir Putin is not spending the kind of money the Soviet Union used to spend on the so-called peace movement).
    The president’s recitation at Portsmouth of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s prayer on D-Day was stunning and widely replayed in the news.
    Then the president went to Normandy and gave one of the most powerful and moving speeches of his career. When even liberals and anti-Trumpers were comparing his speech to President Reagan’s historic 1984 oration, you know President Trump had achieved an extraordinary impact.
    Shortly after the speech, the president met with French President Emmanuel Macron, who told the news media he and Trump are good friends.
    A brief stop in Ireland to meet with the Irish Prime Minister (and play a little golf) wrapped up the most successful trip so far in the Trump presidency.
    While the president was overseas, he was also orchestrating the first really tough negotiation with Mexico over immigration. Largely because Congress has consistently failed to take control of the border and deal with illegal immigration, the president decided to focus on a strategy of getting Mexico to help control the illegal immigration that pours across its territory.
    The president’s threat to impose harsh tariffs brought Mexico to make historic changes in its approach to controlling illegal immigration. Some 6,000 Mexican troops are being sent to Mexico’s southern border in a first step toward getting control of illegal immigration.
    While there was widespread criticism and opposition to Trump’s threats when he first announced them, within a few days they achieved more progress with Mexico than we had made in years.”
    Yep, Trump is a dummie. 🙂

    Yes, 60% of voters cast a ballot against S. Pfluger, which is where “Keith” erred.
    54% voted GOP
    46% voted DEM
    in the CA Senate primary in Nevada County, which is PURPLE by this result. A more mainstream DEM with an elective office on their resume might have polled over 50% in Nirvana County but strong candidates didn’t bother running in a district where they were guaranteed a loss.
