Batshit Crazy Progressive Hypocrites

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , a New York Democrat, and the other members of her progressive “Squad” spent close to $100,000 on private security in the third quarter while championing the defund the police movement, according to Federal Election Commission records.

The campaign for Ocasio-Cortez paid nearly $10,000 for a private police force to keep the representative safe, while Rep. Ayanna Pressley , a Massachusetts Democrat, racked up a private security bill totaling nearly $4,000, records indicate.

“There’s going to be a reckoning,” the historian said on “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”

“I think whether it’s Mexican-American communities on the border or where I live, or soccer moms mad about what’s being taught in schools, it’s not a top down, woke revolution,” he continued. “It’s a grassroots populist revolution. We’re going to see it in the next midterms I think a lot of these institutions are going to rue the positions they’ve taken and the damage they’ve done.”

When is a protester “angry and justified” and when are they a “domestic terrorist”? It all depends on how far left they are.

This week, activists stalked Sen. Krysten Simena into a women’s restroom at Arizona State University, where the senator teaches a class. Angry that she won’t vote for the Democrat’s unprecedented $3.5 trillion reconciliation mega-bill, the protesters filmed her walking into a bathroom stall.

Sorry, but you can’t spend years calling feminists ‘bigots’ and then suddenly claim to care about women’s safety.

If there was a prize for brass neck, the Guardian would win it hands down. After it was revealed that Wayne Couzens’ vile misogynistic behaviour included acts of indecent exposure, the Guardian started wringing its hands over the scourge of flashing and the terrible impact it can have on the women subjected to it. ‘Women face “epidemic” of indecent exposure’, it said in a frontpage splash on Saturday. This is the same Guardian, the very same one, which just a few weeks ago devoted a huge amount of journalistic resources to trying to rubbish an alleged act of indecent exposure. The same Guardian which decided to cast doubt, and aspersions, on a woman of colour who had raised the alarm about a bloke allegedly exposing himself to women and children.

It appears that Portland’s transformational change from friendly, rose-festooned, pine-steeped, beer parlor to woke dystopia is complete.

People who fancy themselves the art experts for the region – don’t ask – decided this week that statues of founders, abolitionists, and the man who helped create the national parks system may not be put on display before the public anymore. The statues were violently ripped from their pedestals, spray-painted, and burned by the Left’s secular Taliban: antifa/BLM.

“Like somehow I’m supposed to be a full-time activist and have zero income from it?”

Micah White, PhD, the co-founder of Occupy Wall Street went to Davos last year to party with the super-rich. He’s been pitching cryptocurrency, including Sparkle: a coin he invented.

“Occupy Wall Street generated tremendous money,” White complained. “This whole idea that activists should do it for free and all that b____t is over. Like somehow I’m supposed to be a full-time activist and have zero income from it? It’s ridiculous.”

When I wrote Escape from Portland, it was a little ahead of the curve. But not by that much.

You’ve got a real problem when a local real estate blog is writing about the “Mass Exodus from Portland.”

The Portland Tribune notes that, “Portland now ranks 66 out of 80 in national commercial real estate markets.”
