President AOC? Yes, it’s a real possibility.

Sunday is a “clearing the spindle” day, and one of the things on my spindle has been Nate Silver’s prediction last week that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, aka AOC, is currently the most likely person to be the Democrat party’s 2028 presidential candidate. Frankly, I think he’s right. She’s telegenic, has name recognition, and manages to make the same politics that killed tens of millions of people in the 20th century seem user-friendly. She’s also Bernie Sanders’ anointed heir, and he missed the nomination in 2016 and 2020 only because the Democrat party panicked. Last week, Nate Silver, while acknowledging that it’s early days yet, said he still thinks that it’s possible

Are a high enough percentage of American voters stupid enough to elect this vapid woman? Yes. We'd better work hard. Pondscum also rises to the surface.

I say no way. America saw how stupid Cammy is and other than the Bernie wing of the wacko leftist party, she will get shivved by the party elites (Clinton, Obama’s, etc).

No. It is not a possibility. She runs from an extreme left NY district. She can't win anywhere that isn't extreme left and unwilling to ignore her idiocy.

Anything is possible. Is she likely to become president? No, she might be dumber than kamala. It's funny how she and bernie are trying to do the Trump thing with their astroturf rallies. MAGA is grassroots; what they're doing is more fakery from the left.

She's no where near as flawed as FJB, she can walk and talk. And Joe Biden was elected, legality notwithstanding. And she's every bit the demagogue old Joe is, no less shameless. If elected she'd go insane in short order and THAT can easily be covered up. Black is white, up is down is the new normal.

#2, I did not blink an eye at anybody on your list. Yes, the left is that crazy. People burning cars, attacking them on the highway, raising money for murderers and spray painting everything in sight does not indicate functioning brains. The majority rejected kamala but there were enough sympathizers out there to raise one billion dollars for her. We laugh at AOC but some people are willing to gather into crowds and voluntarily hear her and Commie Bernie speak nonsense.

Oregon pushes trans track 6 replies
Posted by Hazymac 4/21/2025 5:36:20 PM Post Reply
The Trans Superiority Narrative (TSN) tells us men pretending to be women are special. They’re mystically in touch with a higher reality, a higher morality, a more authentic version of their humanity, their true selves. This exalted, superhuman status means they have “trans rights,” which cancel the actual constitutional rights of everyone else. The old axiom: “my right to swing my fist ends where another’s nose begins” doesn’t apply to trans, particularly not trans boys/men who want to beat girls/women in sports. Normal Americans expected to accept this bizarre interpretation of rights and to fully accept the TSN and laud the “stunning bravery” of trans have long questioned their

Earlier this month, 17-year-old high school student Austin Metcalf was stabbed to death at a track meet in Frisco, Texas. Metcalf died in his twin brother’s arms. As an educator who lives just down the road, I know too well how our system failed to keep Metcalf out of harm’s way. Karmelo Anthony, also 17, has been charged with first-degree murder in the fatal stabbing. They had never met before the track meet, according a witness. Anthony brought a knife to the track meet and sat under another team’s tent. When asked to move, he reportedly refused and became aggressive. Metcalf stepped in to ask him to move again, to which

Joe Biden has been back in the news, but if he was hoping to rebuild his tarnished legacy, he is achieving the opposite result as his gaffe-filled appearances have merely reminded us of why he was not fit to be president and was forced to step down from his reelection campaign. At his first major speech since Donald Trump took office, Biden on Tuesday began before the music stopped (which meant no one could hear him), rambled on about “colored” kids, tried to fear-monger that Trump wants to take away your Social Security—which he weirdly called a “psychic calm,”

Can you imagine what would have happened if President Donald Trump 45 had the kind of people in his cabinet in the 2020 Summer of Love that he has now? I often think about this. When I hear of another of another Tesla bomber being busted by the feds, however, it gives us a pretty good idea of what those days might have been like. Trump didn’t make it to the White House in 2020. The overwhelming majority of those violent rioters who torched multiple U.S. cities, destroyed other peoples’ property, did billions of dollars in damage, and were responsible for the injuries and deaths of innocent people never did

It seems clear to me that the broad scope and speed of the administration’s actions have knocked the sense out of the media, the Democrats and, alas, the judiciary.

More bad news for Chuck Schumer, survey

Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer notched low favorability among voters in April, according to a poll from The Economist/YouGov released on Wednesday. The survey found that just 23% of voters held a favorable view of Schumer, while 51% of respondents said they viewed the New York Democrat unfavorably. The poll comes after Schumer faced enormous intraparty backlash over his vote to help advance a GOP spending bill backed by President Donald Trump in March. Several Democratic lawmakers have notably called for Schumer to step down in recent weeks, including Democratic Maryland Rep. Glenn Ivey and Democratic Michigan State Sen. Mallory McMorrow.

Stephen A. Smith, the fast-talking ESPN “quick take” guru (and occasional beef jerky salesman) is, in a roundabout way, a colleague of Joe Rogan: They’ve appeared together on ESPN’s UFC telecasts. Rogan, of course, is one of the leading experts in cagefighting. He personally competed in martial arts tournaments throughout his early 20s and was an eyewitness to some of the biggest, most dramatic moments in MMA history. He knows the trainers and the fighters like the back of his (fist); they’re his closest friends. So when Rogan heard Smith saying something stupid and disrespectful about a UFC fighter, he called him out. Here’s a short,

We still don't know. But Byron York at the Washington Examiner thinks the Ukraine angle of Ryan Routh's second attempt in Florida is worth a closer look. He writes: It is remarkable how little we know about the two 2024 attempts on President Donald Trump’s life.

Walz appeared to be making a reference to 29-year-old Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal alien who was deported to El Salvador and is suspected of being a member of the violent MS-13 gang. Democrats have sought for Garcia to be sent back to the United States, claiming that he has been denied due process.

Pope Francis has died aged 88, the Vatican announced today. The Pontiff spent his final weeks in hospital with an infection that developed into pneumonia in both lungs. The Conclave - where cardinals gather in the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican to choose a successor - will not happen for at least 15 days. Francis just yesterday greeted Catholic faithful who had gathered to see him at St Peter's Square on Easter Sunday. He delivered his 'Urbi et Orbi' benediction from a balcony overlooking the square following mass to mark the high holiday.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's personal bag was stolen with $3,000 cash inside during a dinner outing at a Washington, DC, restaurant Sunday. Noem’s bag also contained her driver’s license, passport, DHS badge, makeup, checks, medication, and apartment keys, a spokesperson confirmed to The Post. Security footage reviewed by the Secret Service showed a white man in a surgical mask snatching Noem’s bag before leaving the restaurant. The theft was first reported by CNN. The Secret Service has launched an investigation to trace any use of Noem’s financial instruments. It is not clear whether a suspect has been identified or the extent of Noem’s protective detail during Sunday’s outing.

The twelve-year reign of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Pope Francis, as the head of the Roman Catholic Church began shortly after the strange and still-unexplained resignation of Pope Benedict XVI, and seven weeks into the second term of Barack Obama as president of the United States. It was fitting that Obama was president during the first four years of Francis’ papacy, as Francis was the Barack Obama of popes: just as Obama did as president of the United States, Pope Francis worked to weaken, instead of strengthen, the institution he was leading, and to provide aid and comfort to its enemies, while confusing and maddening its ardent supporters.

Photos of the building made the rounds on social media recently, and the building is receiving harsh criticism, with some suggesting the barren, characterless building looks more like a prison than a library. Biz Pac Review notes that the building, designed by Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects, features an exterior wrapped in granite panels and is one of “numerous buildings on the massive 19-acre Obama Presidential Center campus, which has been priced at about $830 million by the Associated Press.”
