Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: A one-woman EMP
By Patricia McCarthy
I might have to start calling her Wilma Flintstone...or maybe Pebbles
The ubiquitous Miss O-C made her big splash yesterday and introduced her Green New Deal, and an amusing prescription it is. If even a fraction of her plans were ever implemented, the U.S. would be transported back to before the Industrial Revolution. No fossil fuels, no airplanes, no cars, no heat, no air conditioning, no meat, no dairy. Every home and building in the country would have to be retrofitted to comply with her ridiculous demands. There would be "charging stations" everywhere; she does not say where the power to those charging stations would come from. She apparently thinks wind (now provides 1.9%) and solar (now provides 0.5%) can fill the bill. She must think the trucking industry that above all others makes our country work can run on wind or solar; it cannot. When asked how to pay for all this, she suggests printing more money! Has this woman ever considered how groceries and all other merchandise in stores get there? Obviously not.
The first time I ever heard the phrase "as dumb as a rock" was years ago. It was a caller to Larry Elder's radio program; the caller was talking about Sean Penn, whom the caller knew. It is an apt phrase, and never more than to describe Miss O-C. Boston U, from where she received a degree in economics, should immediately be de-certified and shuttered. No public person has ever displayed more ignorance, not just on economics, but on practically every topic relevant to the public realm. The fact that the media have made her a celebrity far beyond her ability to speak coherently will most likely be her undoing. They will at some point realize their catastrophic mistake and take her down. If they don't, as the face of the Democratic Party, she will take them down.
An electromagnetic pulse attack, essentially a nuclear device exploded at high altitude above America, would knock out power grids, rendering anything electrical or digital non-functional. Cars, trucks, computers, etc. would be dead (unless still running vehicles from the 1960s). The country would come to a full stop. That is exactly what Miss. O-C is prescribing. She means to send us back to an age her Millennial friends would not recognize. Most of them would be unable to function, as so many are seriously lacking in the skills older generations grew up taking for granted. Most young people would have no idea how to repair anything they own if it broke, least of all their cars. They would be apoplectic if their smartphones were suddenly mute. If Miss O-C were ever to implement any aspect of her Green New Deal, her very own friends would be reduced to the snowflakes they've been raised to be, helpless.
O-C is completely as clueless about energy as Kamala Harris is about health care. Touting her Medicare for All, she suggest we just "do away with all that," meaning paperwork and insurance. Sen. Harris has endorsed O-C's GND. These Democrats are digging their own political graves. The minute Millennials figure out what Miss O-C's plans mean for them, the extinction of the interconnected life they revere and are addicted to, they will drop her like a hot potato. She will become the thing that cannot be named. The media that made her will unmake her.
In reality, her Green New Deal is a joke of comic book proportions. Few Democrats will find anything in it to support. It is not about climate or science; it's just about ending capitalism, redistributing wealth from those who produce to those who produce nothing, and controlling the American population as Chávez and Maduro of Venezuela and all the socialist dictators around the world who preceded them attempted to control their populations. That this benighted young woman is calling the shots for the Democratic Party is a sad commentary.
If there was ever a person who could benefit from a four-year stint at Hillsdale College it is Miss O-C. The future of America hangs in the balance. The appalling ignorance of persons like Miss O-C cannot be allowed to pave the way.

Pelosi and other Democrats caving to border wall funding?
By Taylor Day
Not sure I will like the compromise...we shall see
On Wednesday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told the press that there would "there will not be another shutdown" over the proposed border wall. She also said she will fully support any resolution that the bipartisan committee in charge of the negotiations come up with, even if it includes full wall funding.
Chances are strong that it will. Nancy says that as the negotiations continue, "left to their own devices," an agreement will be reached as early as Friday. Democratic rep from N.Y. Nina Lowey, who leads the conference committee, told reporters negotiations are happening and could be settled in enough time for the House and Senate to vote on new appropriation bills before the February 15 deadline.
In the Washington Post article, Illinois Democrat Dick Durbin, who is also on this committee, said he believes that the "highest funding priority should be technology to intercept drugs at the border — not physical barriers." Durbin also stated that border experts explained in a meeting why a wall is necessary and, technically, itself technology that will stop drugs, but Democrats still want to cling to their idea that it's not.
When reporters asked Lowey whether the "needle was moved" in response to President Trump's successful State of the Union address, she responded with "no comment." Polls showed overwhelming support for the president's SOTU, which included a passionate pitch for a border wall. During his speech, the president made it clear that the wall will be built, one way or another.
Though he really wants to fund the construction through legislation, he has not ruled out using an emergency proclamation to bypass Congress to do so. However, Trump knows that a move like that would instantly be tied up in courts and give Democrats the opportunity to continue to obstruct the process.
With the latest discussions happening, despite Nancy Pelosi's and Chuck Schumer's previous resolve that they wouldn't, Democrats could finally be weighing their optics on the situation. By supporting this barrier build, even if they fought it in the past, Democrats will be able to ride the coattails of its inevitable success.
As an example of their caving while trying to keep up appearances, this CNN headline from Thursday reads, "New Mexico governor withdraws state's National Guard troops from southern border." Yet the actual article exposes the headline as flat-out wrong and more sensationalized clickbait:
"We will deploy our men and women in uniform only where there is a need, and where their presence can make a genuine difference in ensuring public safety and an easing of the humanitarian concerns at our southern border," Lujan Grisham said Tuesday." ... She did direct 11 to 15 National Guard personnel to remain in the southwestern part of the state to help with humanitarian needs.
"I recognize and appreciate the legitimate concerns of residents and officials in southwestern New Mexico, particularly Hidalgo County, who have asked for our assistance, as migrants and asylum-seekers continue to appear at their doorstep," she said.
Half a dozen state police officers will also be temporarily deployed to Hidalgo County to help the local law enforcement.
Hence, Democrats are fully aware that the crisis at the southern border is real even if they use different language to explain it. They just cannot risk being seen looking openhandedly toward the president. They want to be recorded as the party of resistance, but they know that their mantra of "get Trump at any cost" is starting to get too expensive politically.
Expect the resolution that the committee delivers to Congress and the president to be full of earmarks and ridiculous proposals, like granting asylum to anyone within five miles of the border wall or full amnesty for all illegal aliens already here. However, that Democrats are even negotiating is a good sign that they are finally recognizing that resisting the wall is a losing battle. Making their concessions for the wall as quietly as possible helps avoid a public battle that Trump will benefit from if he is forced to use a national emergency to get it done.
