In June, Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez backed a candidate primarying Stephanie Murphy for her seat in the House repoing the #FL07.

Murphy is the first Vietnamese woman to be elected to the House.

Her politics align with her district.

It’s... umm... not close.
Regardless of your personal politics, there’s no denying that the “farther left wins anywhere” narrative has been pummeled into the ground since AOC’s win in a D+29 district.

Also undeniable AOC isn’t a kingmaker.

Neither made sense then. No shock they haven’t proven true.
p.s. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez endorsed one other House candidate in today’s Florida primaries.

Michael Hepburn.

He pulled 6% of the vote.

AOC’s Justice Dems went 0-for-3 in contested primaries. None of their candidates were competitive.

Trump is the least important person in the shutdown battle.

Schumer and Pelosi aren’t really battling him - though he very much thinks they are.

That’s the funny part.

He thinks he’s the towering general locked in a war against the leaders of the opposing army...

1/
In reality, Chuck and Nancy are using Trump’s battlefield incompetence to not just win this battle but also break his control of his forces.

Trump is a buffoonish despot but he hasn’t truly lost a battle of wills with Democrats decisively.

He hasn’t gotten routed.

2/
Even when Trump hasn’t gotten his way, the cost to individual Republicans has been far less than the cost would have been if they had bucked Trump’s will and invited his wrath.

Trump thinks he’s waging a war of will. He thinks his refusal to yield will ultimately prevail.

Just to take this one step further...

Worth noting that federal prosecutors chose to make public an indictment which has little prosecutorial value on its face (since Veselnitskaya is out of reach).

There’s a method to this madness and it may well be...

1/
1) Shining a spotlight on the Trump Tower meeting about “adoptions”

2) Putting into the public domain evidence that Junior, et al, were indeed meeting with the Kremlin by proxy

3) Providing corroboration of the criminal quid pro quo alluded to in Paul Manafort’s mtg notes

2/
4) Establishing that all attendees fully knew what the Russian objectives were in supporting the Trump Campaign

5) Providing a supporting indictment of the foreign actor in the Trump Tower meeting in advance of Mueller indicting Junior for lying to Congress about the mtg.

Soooo, about this...

You’re going to like the punchline.

The Russian lawyer at the infamous Trump Tower meeting... the one who offered dirt on Clinton...

She just got indicted for money laundering and other charges in a separate case demonstrating she was a Kremlin operative.

Thread:
Another little history lesson for the socialist-democrats admirers of Bernie Sanders and Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez.
There isn't a single day I don't read their comments on Tweeter about how THEIR new socialism isn't what MY old socialism, the socialism I survived was.
They self appoint themselves as advocates for the working class, wrapping themselves in the red mantle of anti-capitalist fighters for the benefit of the proletariat. Which is quite ironic, because 99.9% of them never had a steady job nor worked with their hands in their lives
Being a college student pursuing a major in Gender Studies or Sexual Intersectionalism doesn't qualify one as a member of the working class. Nor being an aging hippy commune dweller turned politician like Bernie. Or a part-time bar tender turned congress-chick like Ocasio Cortez

Thread: On the Academic Elite

1. Seemingly, not a day goes by without some kind of horror being exposed in Academia. Whether it’s Antifa’s authoritarian suppression of conservative voices, an affirmative action-related scandal, the rampant gender politics, or something else.
2. Or the decline in academic standards, the suppression of teaching the history of Western civ, the insertion of Marxist American history textbooks (ala Howard Zinn) in public schools, and the general curtailing of academic freedom in pursuit of the Left’s agenda.
3. A really excellent discussion of “the ideology behind safe spaces, micro-aggressions, and trigger warnings” on college campuses was held at the Manhattan Institute in 2017. It shows how far things have deteriorated in Academia.

Thread: On the Existential Struggles of Our Time, Part II

1. Part I examined the first of three main existential struggles ongoing in the Age of Trump: globalism vs. nationalism. In Part II, we will look at individualism vs. collectivism.
2. For background and context purposes, I suggest scanning Part I before continuing with this thread:
3. What is collectivism? It can be defined as “a cultural value that is characterized by emphasis on cohesiveness among individuals and prioritization of the group over self.” Ayn Rand, the great Russian philosopher, has my favorite definition:

1) Excellent article by @LarrySchweikart The Democrats, MSM, Deep State, FBI, DOJ etc. think they can run out the clock hoping and praying that they can flip the House are in for a reality check come November 6th. It absolutely isn’t going to happen!

2) From the article linked above:

A shocking Wall Street Journal poll appeared in the past few days in which a mere one-third of Americans thought the Democrats were “in the mainstream.” In other words, two-thirds of Americans viewed the Democrat Party as radical.

For those
3) paying attention at all, of course, this number probably seems low. This is truly the party of Bernie Sanders and the newest socialist on the scene, Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez from New York.

Of the approximately 34 total truly competitive seats, just on the basis of those I

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez - the New York City progressive whose upset defeat of incumbent US House Rep. Crowley drew national attention - is visiting Michigan to help Abdul El-Sayed, a Democratic candidate for governor who has been struggling in the polls: washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost…
Abdul El-Sayed has been running as a progressive and voice for people of color, but has struggled to connect with voters in places like Detroit, a 90% minority city. Latest poll has El-Sayed at only 16% in Detroit, well behind Shri Thanedar at 55%.

Statewide, El-Sayed is in 3rd.
NYC progressive Congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is coming to Michigan to rally the weekend of July 28-29 for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Abdul El-Sayed in Grand Rapids, Flint, Detroit.

Press release from El-Sayed:

politico.com/story/2018/06/… Sorry, but skeptical that a woman defeating a man who was looking to replace Pelosi is a sign that Democratic voters cannot wait to push out the first female Speaker of the House.
Sorry about the delete. Fixing wording for accuracy. (Edit button, @jack!) Anyway, to add to this: While DSA is silly, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s win shows that voters like progressive women. And while Pelosi is not 100% perfect, she is progressive and a woman.
The eagerness to write Ocasio-Cortez’s as some kind of defeat of the country’s most famous progressive female leader is….a stretch.
