Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Who Is Behind The Braying Ass? The Story Of Alexandria Ocasio-CortezThere's an interesting video below the fold that speaks to the defensible suggestion that AOC (Alexandria Donkey-Chompers to her friends) is a figurehead who was chosen (almost literally) from central casting to be the face of some very bad people. Whether the gentleman in the video is correct seems to be of less importance than the reality that dear old Donkey-Chompers is spewing socialist pablum rechewed for our current crop of poorly educated idiots. Don't be fooled by your visceral dislike for her. She is relatively attractive, speaks the language of the college-graduate barrista, and affects the image of a young and earnest "community activist" who is being attacked by the entrenched interests that want nothing of her unicorns and rainbows world. It doesn't matter whose words they are...she may be (and probably is) an empty-headed retard without an original thought in her entire body, but so what? Marshall McLuhan said, "The medium is the message," and they have a good one in Donkey-Chompers! After you watch the video (there will be a test on Tuesday), here's an assignment: There are some words that are clear tip-offs to the logic-free manipulation that the progressives are so good at...."mobilization" is my favorite, "justice" is a classic, but there are dozens that make my ears tingle and my fists clench.... How about you? What are the left's buzzwords that really get under your skin?Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

I can't watch it; I have such a visceral dislike of her views, but it wouldn't surprise me at all that she was recruited to run by a cabal, because where did she get the money for the really nice clothes and apartment on a bartenders salary as a young person in her 20's?. She's intended to be the new feminine Obama. I expect Steyer or Soros is behind her as well as the crooked Indian guy who's her campaign manager who's a raging leftist .

And as for words I dislike-"intersectionality" I even read it in a Lenten devotional this week-"Jesus was an intersectional figure. The only figure of his kind to be both man and God." Whatever feels about Christian theology, intersectional is a stupid word, stupidly applied to people because of Identity politics. I really dislike the term and the idea of identity politics. Why can't we get to know people as individuals instead of ranking them as to where they rank on the identity board. This where you might peel off people who have been Democrat voters for years because the older white people in my congregation really do not like the idea that white people are responsible for every evil in the world, and even people who are "liberal" as opposed to leftist hate identity politics and during our Bible study today mentioned that they are appalled by the young people newly in Congress including Sandy 0-C and Ilhan Omar and loathe the anti semetism.

Reagan spent years learning and refining his understanding of conservatism. By the time he won he could debate anyone based on the depth of his knowledge. AOC has no idea what the words coming out of her mouth mean. She's a star as long as she is in front of a friendly audience which is pretty much the only place she will go. If she was ever challenged, and she will be if she wants to go to the next level, she would fall apart in a heartbeat. Posted by: JackStraw at March 10, 2019 02:46 PM (/tuJf) 89

I want to ask them, at what point in the history of the Earth's climate was it NOT changing? Change is what climate does. If climate didn't change, you're left with stasis and maybe mass extinctions. It's deceptive, because "climate change" is being used as a synonym for "catastrophic manmade climate change" Also the phrase "climate denier". Really? So we're denying there's any such thing as climate? Add to that the intentional evocation of "Holocaust denier". Posted by: Hands at March 10, 2019 02:47 PM (786Ro) 98

Adding any adjective to "justice" sets my teeth on edge. It's no longer justice if it's been defined down to a narrow range.
Posted by: Jeff Weimer It's worse than that. In this case, prepending an adjective actually reverses the meaning of the noun. For example, "social justice" is not justice at all, but rather blatant favoritism for loser groups. Posted by: Deplorable Jay Guevara at March 10, 2019 02:52 PM (YqDXo) 120

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is not really the congresswoman of NY fourteenth congressional district. She is, essentially, an actress. She's merely playing the part of a NY congresswoman.
In 2017 a group called the Justice Democrats held auditions for potential congressional candidates that they would run on their platform for various congressional seat throughout the country.

This came up in last night's ONT.
My reaction is meh, on top of skepticism about the premise. She's from a one-party district. The incumbent was a typical, though lazier than usual, seat-warming incumbent-for-life. The district has changed to become "more vibrant" in the current lingo. Apparently the incumbent didn't even bother to do the normal machine-oiling stuff these creatures usually do. She received 16K votes - in a congressional district. The primary is the election (as it is in most races in the US). She could have become Rep. Steven King between primary and general, and won by the same margin. We're talking robotic, tribal, ID-driven, inertia-soaked typical congressional voting here. "our current crop of poorly educated idiots" - THAT is where our problem lies, not in shadowy evil figures. I just wonder about the need to always find sinister unseen forces behind mundane, if disastrous, trends in our society. It's like being in a discussion with Arabs in the Middle East (most). Nothing but exotic 1,456-dimensional conspiracy explanations for almost everything. Reality is a lot simpler, and in this case, a lot worse, than a B-movie plot about unseen forces.

AOC beat Joe Crowley, who was a Pelosi acolyte and in line to be speaker one day.
Joe seriously fucked up by losing a light turn out primary in what was meant to be a safe district for him. The district has white enclaves of Italians and Irish which were meant to be a buffer. But they became Trumpsters and stayed home. And the district became 50% Hispanic -- it actually has few blacks. And Millenials moved into the QUeens part.

Time will tell, and my confidence in/respect for the American electorate has been nil for some years, but I am baffled by all the fear/excitement about this one bimbo. Her "ideas" aren't ideas, and in any case don't travel well outside young/dumb/racist/race-grievance-driven territory. Witness the scorn heaped on the Green New Deal, and the response of most established Dems (running from the camera, being caught mocking it in private).
AOC is not on my radar as a problem. Of course, not much room on the screen for her. Constitutional unraveling, a judiciary that has just about taken over key executive functions, a GOP that was/remains almost entirely useless and in fact dangerous, the complete disappearance of anything resembling a real press (with all the implications for an open representative form of guvamint), collapse of the rule of law (not just the literally unbelievable rot in the DOJ and FBI and intel community, but the "sanctuary" nonsense), and ..... well, that's it, the screen is full.

The buzzphrase "progressive values" is one that grates on me like you have no idea. "Progressive values" are diametrically opposed to everything that we Americans stand for. This is one of those things that's almost too simple to explain: if they're uttering that phrase, they aren't promoting American values. Her Heinous described herself as "a proud Progressive" as opposed to "a proud American." They're not even trying to hide their mysterious hatred of their country that has given them (and the rest of the world) so many good things. If you want an example, the Kavanaugh hearings was an excellent one. We were to automatically believe all accusers just because they are accusers. The idea of "innocent until proven guilty" did not apply, and the idea that if a rape did occur, to report it to the police immediately got totally ignored. Progressives are filthy communists who happen to call themselves Americans. They are nothing of the sort, for they do not believe in American values such as the ones pointed out above, nor do they believe in personal and individual responsibility. They don't believe in self-control which is why they're all pretty much sex-crazed animals. Progressives are mentally ill control freaks and are a real and present danger to all of us. We need to find them, root them out and make certain they never gain power. If we fail to do that, we will all regret it. #PurgeProgressives Posted by: BackwardsBoy at March 10, 2019 03:17 PM (HaL55) 239

I think women voting for handsome male candidates is a much bigger problem than men voting for attractive female candidates. Mainly because the latter are pretty rare. Sarah Palin and Christine O'Donnell were outliers as far as female politicians go.
There was a young woman who ran for a local office as a progressive a few years ago. She was easy on the eyes, and quite seductive when she talked to me.

There was a young woman who ran for a local office as a progressive a few years ago. She was easy on the eyes, and quite seductive when she talked to me. But I wanted no part of her platform, so I didn't vote for her. I would have fucked her, though. She wanted to fuck you too, just not the way you think.

The saving grace of AOC might ironically be her own
stupidity and vanity. A cabal might intend to use her as a puppet, but she shows signs of having an ego that will not submit docilely to others' orders. She already feels the need to chime in about just about every subject under the sun. Her "I'm the boss" attitude can very easily flip to "you're not the boss of me" when her puppet-masters tell her to zip it. Posted by: DonnaV. at March 10, 2019 03:23 PM (d6Ksn) +++This is very true.

AOC didn't have a lot invested in running. No years of sucking up, to climb the greasy pole, at risk if she bucks the D establishment. Instead, she was cast by insurgents to fill a role, but now she has it. She'll play the Crazy Progressive Socialist, because it builds her brand. Nancy can't control her. She hurts the Ds actually. But she'll burn out in COngress. If she's smart, she'll run for NYC mayor after DiBlasio gets termed out in three years. Posted by: Ignoramus at March 10, 2019 03:29 PM (1UZdv) 289

Uigur sounds like a US-born native, assume he is. Funny that his name is also the name of the (oppressed) Islamic minority in western China.
And speaking of deportation, in this week's Judicial Lawlessness Round-up, we have a panel of the 9th just brushing aside the entire purpose, history, constitutional basis, and text of settled law to give deportation cases the right of judicial review. Likely to be over-turned (hmm, well, maybe I shouldn't be so breezy about such things any more), another circuit came down the other way on a similar case, but still. It's already ridiculously difficult to deport most people. Far, far more difficult and time-consuming than it was just a few years back (for no good reason, of course). Now this.

The Revolution won't happen with guns, rather it will happen incrementally, year by year, generation by generation. We will gradually infiltrate their educational institutions and their political offices, transforming them slowly into Marxist entities as we move toward universal egalitarianism.

It's the combination of Justice Democrats and Brand New Congress, both organizations created by Saikat Chakrabarti.
All of the information, aside from the guy's melodrama, is out there in various recent news articles and from their websites (unless they've been recently edited). There's also an AOC documentary about her campaign that Netflix bought for $10 million, so I assume those clips included in the Mr. Reagan vid are from that. So, Chakrabarti and his fellow Bernie friends are quite proud about what they've done, and their spokesman, Walid Shahid openly announced their plans to take control of the Democrats, and Congress in The Nation last month. Can't be a conspiracy theory when the players are announcing what they've done, will do. Posted by: Lizzy at March 10, 2019 03:55 PM (W+vEI) 373

"if the NY DNC snuffs out OC by primary or simple gerrymandering her district out of existence."
AOC has star power because Media gives her oxygen. Media can't help themselves, because AOC is a school bus on fire. "oh no she didn't!" Because she has star power she won't lose a primary in 2020. No one else can contend in a district that's 50% Hispanic (mostly Puerto Rican) and only 12% black. Nor can you gerrymander her out by redistricting.

Quote from R. A. Torrey, God the Bible and You:
The God of the Bible is to be clearly distinguished, not merely from the God of the pantheists, who has no existence separate from His creation, but also from the God of the deists, who has created the world, put into it all the necessary powers of self-government and development, set it going, and left it to go by itself. The God of the Bible is a God who is personally and actively present in the affairs of the universe today. He sustains, governs, and cares for the world He has created; He shapes the whole present history of the world. He has a present, personal interest and an active hand in the concerns of people, and it is He who is behind all the events that are occurring today. He reigns and makes even the wrath of men to praise Him, and the remainder of wrath He restrains (Psalm 76:10). Armies may clash, force and violence and outrage may seem victorious for the passing hour, but God stand triumphant over all. Through all the confusion and the discord and the turmoil and the agony and the ruin, through all the outrageous atrocities that are making men's hearts stand still with horror, He is carrying out His own purposes of love and making all things work together for good to those who love Him (Romans 8:2.

Posted by: Mark Andrew Edwards ---------- Oh, I agree. This did not just all fall into place. It is not as if one day AOC thought to herself, "Oh, I think I'll run for Congress". Hardly. But the strategy they used was at minimal cost, and calculated for likely outcome, which might be the case for any political run, but in this one, it was to circumvent any serious opposition. When the Cornell Law Professor appeared as a surrogate for her on TuCar, a million alarms went off in my head. Posted by: Mike Hammer, etc, etc. at March 10, 2019 04:52 PM (CDGwz) 451

Aoc is being given the same publicity by right media that trump was given by left media. Over on du nra attack on aoc only makes left support her more as attacks on trump did the same for right. Right is lucky she is not old enough to run for president. Liberals in 2016 couldn't understand why anyone could vote for trump because they were not populists/social conservatives. Aoc when she runs for president won't need conservative votes either and she is a bernie sanders type populist.

Some of the words that IMMEDIATELY tilt me into red-curtain-of-blood
mode are: Community (NO I am not part of, you are not part of, NOBODY is part of, a group of identitcal snap-in Lego-people) Conversation ("You NEED to have that conversation with your kids" is better-conveyed as "tell your children about the dangers of -" whatever crise-du-jour they're harping on.) Reach out to (as a verb meaning "contact"; why not use the simpler "talk to"?) Dialog (though it seems to be dying out in usage, since everybody now mentally translates it, appropriately, as "harangue".) Invest (when it's being used as a synonym for "useless spending to benefit a Progressive cause"; note that an actual "investment" expects a return of the principal invested, plus some amount of profit.) Discriminate/ discrimination (to "discriminate" is to discern the difference between one thing and another <often with the assumption that one of the things being evaluated is preferable in some way>. To *not* discriminate is to accept that the objects being observed are identical, interchangeable, and of equal value. Part of the evil of socialism and/or totalitarianism is the insistence on regarding human beings as "the masses"; as NPC's: as non-specific "things" with no individual value, useful only if they can be manipulated in large groups for their votes or their labor/productivity.)

405 AOC will look like a genius when she says that Trump cheated the public out of tax revenues.
Interestingly, Ms Cortez may have a tax liability of her own. It seems that a publishing venture that she started right after she graduated from college went bust. The venture never took off, and she owes about $1800 to the state of New York.
