Morning Larry...52 on the way to 70...oh what a difference a day makes
Amazing when I look at it...
The author said that time and time again, people adopt willful ignorance regarding socialism’s track record around the world.
The silver lining is that we finally have a way to make Hillary Clinton pay for her crimes. Trump has to appoint her to his Cabinet. Then we'll see the entire American press corps chanting, "Lock her up!"
Brilliant
Arizona GOP Sen. Martha McSally says she was 'preyed upon and then raped' in Air Force by superior officer
Gregg Re By Gregg Re | Fox News
Sen. Martha McSally, the first female fighter pilot to fly in combat, disclosed during an emotional Senate hearing on Wednesday she was "preyed upon and then raped" in the Air Force by a superior officer.
The Arizona Republican, who served 26 years in the Air Force, made the disclosure during a Senate hearing on sexual assault allegations in the military. McSally said she didn't report the assault because she didn't trust the system, and was ashamed and confused.
“My drive to fight against sexual assault in the ranks is not from the outside looking in," McSally began. "And it is deeply personal."
McSally said that during her miitary career, she was "greatly privileged to prepare and then lead my amazing Airmen in combat, which is the apex responsibility of any warrior leader."
But, McSally added that she had also "witnessed so many weaknesses in the processes involving sexual assault prevention, investigation, and adjudication," which motivated her "to make recommendations to Air Force leaders, shaped my approach as a commander, and informed my advocacy for change while I remained in the military and since I have been in Congress."
Then McSally revealed her own experience with abuse -- as she said she would use her "voice and unique experience to work on this mission to stop military sexual assault for good."
"I am so inspired by the many survivors who found the strength to share their stories, report their assaults, and demand accountability, justice, and change," McSally said. "It is because of you that a light has been shined on this silent epidemic and so many improvements have been made—including more than 100 legislative actions over the last decade—on all aspects of military sexual assault."
"So, like you, I also am a military sexual assault survivor, but unlike so many brave survivors, I didn’t report being sexually assaulted," she continued. "Like so many women and men, I didn’t trust the system at the time. I blamed myself. I was ashamed and confused. I thought I was strong but felt powerless. The perpetrators abused their position of power in profound ways. In one case I was preyed upon and raped by a superior officer."
McSally did not name the officer, but said she shares in the disgust of the failures of the military system and many commanders to address sexual violence. She said that's why the public must demand that higher-ranking officials be part of the solution.
"Like many victims, I felt like the system was raping me all over again."
— Arizona GOP Sen. Martha McSally
"I stayed silent for many years, but later in my career, as the military grappled with the scandals, and their wholly inadequate responses, I felt the need to let some people know I too was a survivor," she said, choking up as she detailed what had happened to her. "I was horrified at how my attempt to share generally my experiences was handled. I almost separated from the Air Force at 18 years of service over my despair. Like many victims, I felt like the system was raping me all over again."
But, McSally said, "I didn’t quit. I decided to stay and continue to serve and fight and lead. To be a voice from within the ranks for women -- and then in the House and now the Senate."

The revelation came just weeks after Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, came forward in January with her story of being raped by a former boyfriend, saying she decided to do so after details of her divorce were made public.
McSally's disclosure also comes at a time of increased awareness over the problem of harassment and assault in the armed forces. Reports of sexual assaults across the military jumped nearly 10 percent in 2017 — a year that also saw an online nude-photo sharing scandal rock the Defense Department.
McSally was defeated by Democrat Kyrsten Sinema in the 2018 Senate election by 2 percentage points. Interim Sen. Jon Kyl then announced he would resign as Arizona's other senator, and Republican Gov. Doug Ducey chose McSally to replace Kyl.

ICE arrests 20 illegal alien criminals released due to NY city sanctuary policies
By Rick Moran
It just gets better...now just waiting for a tweet from the twat...you don't need bail money...just do like me...change your name to maybe Juan??
Officials from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency arrested more than 20 illegal aliens in New York city who had been released from custody in accordance with their sanctuary policies.
New York authorities refused an ICE request to "hold" the illegals until they could be picked up. But ICE followed through and arrested the illegals anyway.
Daily Wire:
“The sanctuary city politics of this city continue to put the safety of New York residents at risk,” Thomas R. Decker, field office director for ERO NY, said in the press release. “We need our elected officials to stop the rhetoric. The fact remains that ICE makes this city safer by removing criminal aliens and public threats off the street so they are unable to reoffend, victimizing our city residents.”
The agency listed 12 examples of the crimes the illegal immigrants committed, many including violent acts. A Guyanese national was arrested in the Bronx for “Assault 2nd, Assault 3rd, Reckless Endangerment, Menacing, and Criminal Possession of a Weapon.” A Mexican national was arrested for robbery. A Spanish national was arrested for assault, harassment, menacing, and possession of stolen property. Another Mexican national was arrested in Manhattan for assault and “criminal obstruction of breathing or blood circulation.” Another Mexican national was arrested in Kew Gardens for assault, injuring an 11-year-old, and harassment. A Colombian national was arrested in Kew Gardens for strangulation, assault, and harassment. A Guatemalan national was arrested in Spring Valley for rape. A Salvadoran national, associated with the violent MS-13 gang, was arrested for DWI (flashback to when Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey said illegal aliens shouldn’t be deported for driving while intoxicated). Another Colombian national was arrested for assault and intent to cause serious physical injury.
Other examples include drug and tax fraud crimes.
If you look closely at these cases, you will probably find that this was not the first brush with the law these people experienced. Many are violent criminals who should be, at the very least, locked up. The fact that they are in the US illegally and are given a get out of jail free card is unconscionable.
The bottom line is that local law enforcement believes they have better things to do than look after criminal illegal aliens in jail until ICE can pick them up. And the politicians don't want them deported at all. This is the basis of all sanctuary policies at the state and local level.
Looking at the charges against the illegals picked up by ICE, they are not "serious" offenses by themselves. But crimes against people and property by illegals should always be considered serious because they are totally unnecessary. No one should be hurt by someone who has no right being here in the first place.

NOW...I'm waiting for the meek response...
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tries to 'rebrand' rule of law at the border as 'racist'
By Monica Showalter
you can read her tweets in the link...she is very dangerous
In some remarkable rubberizing backflips, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is busy trying to "change the narrative" about border enforcement, to claim that it's entirely the work of racism.
As if asking everyone to be follow the same set of rules in the name of one rule of law for everyone, is now 'racist.' Get a load of her tweets:
Comade Ocasio-Cortez is still thinking about her "list."
The border crisis of mass illegal crossings isn't a matter of Latinos being dangerous, (although cartel members who rape women who pay them to take them across and who have zero fear of the long arm of U.S. law would involve some good candidates). It's about rule of law. Shall we have an open border or shall we vet people who want to come here and allow them in through a legal process? Congress is the U.S. branch of government that sets legal immigration quotas, what I want to know is why she isn't working to expand them instead of encouraging break-ins as an immigration policy. Anyone who would break into a house would be called a burglar. How is that different from someone who breaks into another country and expects free stuff handed to them on a platter? It's as if Ocasio-Cortez wants the burglars, and anyone crossing her on this is a racist.
This is truly twisted logic.

The Left? Seething with apoplectic rage. The right? Happy and optimistic.
By Patricia McCarthy
We better watch our azz in 2020...NOT a sure thing...
Among the many, many things that starkly define the differences between the Left and the right, none is more wretched than the difference in how they approach life. Leftists, even when they are in power, are generally miserable, discontent with America as it was founded and as it is, always banging their heads against some perceived wall. The right, on the other hand, is characterized by general good-natured love of country and the quest to save America from the radical left's reprehensible appropriation of the culture, academia, the media, and entertainment. Conservative people revel in their families, work, and self-reliance and their good fortune to be Americans. They are grateful people.
Leftists, since the administration of Woodrow Wilson, when they first called themselves "progressives," have been regressive ever since. They crave the socially stratified societies of the Middle Ages, with an elite ruling class that garners all the wealth and wields the power to tell everyone else how to live. California has pretty much re-created exactly that today, as have New York and D.C. and its environs. Even so, all those rich, intolerant liberals are always angry and unhappy. Since Trump was elected, they are well and truly forlorn.
There are countless "studies" that claim that such differences are genetic, but most have been conducted by partisans with one bias or another and are unreliable. We know that for at least the last forty years, academia has been run by tenured radicals bent on indoctrination, not education. When they were busy reformulating American history standards, they effectively deleted Washington and Lincoln in favor of heretofore lesser known persons of color. Why couldn't they just add people like Harriet Tubman to the standards without virtually erasing the Founders? Because they loathe those dead white males who sacrificed so much to see the Constitution drafted and a new nation forged. The new standards focused only on the negative aspects of American history. The message? America is an illegitimate country.
And now? Because they lost an election and the voters elected an unabashed patriot, the Democrats have deemed Trump an illegitimate president.
The Left hates people who love this country. Leftists are pounding their fists with fury that their hundred-year progressive campaign led to a Trump presidency. Nixon was bad, the Bushes were bad, but Trump! He is the black swan they never saw swimming their way, and he has rendered them disconsolate.
So morose is the Left at the possibility that Mueller's report will not prove Trump's collusion with Russia, an entirely Democrat-conceived hoax, that the contemptible Jerrold Nadler and the pitiable Adam Schiff have decided to go fishing for some crime among Trump associates by requesting documents from eighty-one people! They have no hint of crime, despite their assurances that they do. Schiff, the most oleaginous leaker in Congress, would have leaked any proof long ago if it existed. If this does not qualify as a gross abuse of power, what does?
So infuriated by Trump's victory and his many successes in office, these people are willing to become Stalinist thugs and hope no one notices. Nadler and Schiff are among the most distressed Democrats in Congress. They need mental health help. They are spinning themselves into oblivion. The American people are not nearly as stupid as they think. As it happens, there is an increasing number of people in Congress who actually are very stupid, shockingly ignorant of the Constitution and American history, and they are getting the most attention of late.
The Left, wallowing in its misery and acting out, is bringing about its own demise. Yes, leftists retain a radical, vicious base, those people who are triggered by red hats to violence. So virulent is this crowd that its members advocate for the absurd Green New Deal offered up by the benighted Ocasio-Cortez, which, if ever implemented, would effectively destroy the economy of the U.S. As Patrick Moore, the founder of Greenpeace, tweeted, "Pompous little twit. You don’t have a plan to grow food for 8 billion people without fossil fuels, or get food into the cities. Horses? If fossil fuels were banned every tree in the world would be cut down for fuel for cooking and heating. You would bring about mass death." Indeed.
They also want "Medicare for All, " an obvious scheme to ration health care, to control the health of us peons.
The Left wants people to suffer; that is its goal. That is how incandescent leftists are with hatred for the American people, especially those who voted for Trump and are still happy they did. The cheerless Left has troubled its own house and will inherit the wind. The people of the right, and those who have since realized that joy is a good thing, are thrilled by what Trump has accomplished in two years and will re-elect the man with ease.
