Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sounded off on the U.S.’s approach to crime at a press conference in New York City Thursday.
She argued that the best way to address escalating crime rates was through better mental health care, not through more incarceration.
“It is not acceptable for us to use jails as garbage bins for human beings,” said the Congresswoman (D-NY) to a round of applause.
Can we build special mental hospitals and lock them in against their will? Because that worked before.
Are America’s Republican Party and GOP elected officials living in a current state of Normalcy Bias, or have they truly given up?
Is our Republican leadership still so stunned that socialist Democrats have swept all three branches of government that they feel as though all their efforts are for naught?
From the outside looking in, this is what it certainly seems like. Minority leader Kevin McCarthy occasionally does a short presser and tosses out a bit of chum, but otherwise, nothing is really being done to bring the political atrocities to the American people.
When the Democrats got Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene removed from all of her committee assignments they thought they had silenced her. But that is not the case. Without committees eating away at her time, she is free to go on whatever crusade she wishes. Her most current one is against AOC whom she accuses of being a terrorist who is responsible for the violent attacks against Jews in this country.
U.S. President Joe Biden hasn’t had any serious issues with his enemies so far, but he’s running into serious complications with his friends.
Russia and China, the two biggest threats to the United States’ place in the world, are behaving normally. China wants to take over the world, but might invade Taiwan first. Russian President Vladimir Putin is creating as much external disruption as possible to distract from his problems at home. Neither is easy to handle, but the threats they present are hardly new.
Maher pointed out the fact that a number of countries throughout the world had tried communism, adding, “But millennials think that doesn’t count because they weren’t alive when it happened. But it did happen, and there are people around who remember it.”
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has said President Joe Biden’s first 100 days ‘have been impressive’ and ‘exceeded’ the expectations of Democrat progressives.
The New York congresswoman said during a virtual town hall meeting: ‘The Biden administration and President Biden have definitely exceeded expectations that progressives had.
‘I’ll be frank, I think a lot of us expected a much more conservative administration.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi unloaded on ‘the Squad’ when talking about the progressive cohort to author Susan Page, whose book ‘Madam Speaker: Nancy Pelosi and the Lessons of Power’ come out next week.
“Low-IQ race-baiter”
“Who cares what she thinks”
“She’s a racist, like, openly”
“Someone whose opinion you really shouldn’t care about”
Leftists’ absurd excuse: climate change. The real problem: socialism.
To understand the illegal immigration problem on our southern border, we must first understand what is happening in Latin America. Why have millions of people left their homes, possessions, and families and endured hardships and perils of every sort in a bid to make a life for themselves elsewhere? Ask a South American refugee, and he’ll likely tell you the problem is socialism.
The hashtag, #LetKidsPlay, is being used by left-wing activists online to suggest that the conservative effort to protect the integrity of women’s sports and the safety of its participants is preventing some children from being able to play.
The Democratic firebrand blasted the police department’s four-legged ‘Digidog’ in a succession of Thursday tweets, two days after the cyber hound was filmed responding to a home invasion in her home borough of the Bronx.
On Wednesday, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) took a swipe at Texas political leaders, propounding that the suffering Texans are experiencing because of the freezing cold and concomitant power outages could have been addressed by her “Green New Deal.”
For years, they’ve been taking money under the table from China, Qatar, and elsewhere.
American universities are awash in foreign money, with at least $12 billion in gifts and contracts reported from 2013 through June 2019. Research by Congress and the Department of Education (DoE) demonstrates that no one knows exactly how much foreign support academe has received or to what ends it has been used. Acting in concert, the Biden administration and Congress could end this influx of dark money by requiring universities to be transparent in their reporting of any foreign support.
Instead, Joe Biden has just ensured that Americans will remain in the dark regarding a major source of those funds: China.
“I just want to let you know how proud I am of each and every single one of you for putting yourselves and your bodies on the line!…It is so incredibly important” she exclaims to the new leftist occupiers of Pelosi’s office in 2016.
