September,2018, Part 6, Political Class Insanity: Ocasio-Cortez' Faux Socialism, Kamala Harris' Lie, and Illegal Immigrants Voting In North Carolina

It is another month which means it is again time to review the latest political class insanity from Washington and around the world. Political class insanity takes many forms including the wasting of taxpayer wealth, criminal fraud within government programs, inane and stupid political quotes and actions, the inability to create and implement effective and efficient government programs, stupid and ill performing economic policies and strategies, and other forms of insanity that continue to evolve and surprise and shock us.

Let’s get started:

1) Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a Democratic candidate for Congress in a NYC Congressional district. She has been a gaffe and idiocy machine of quotes since becoming a candidate. Rather than review all of her stupid quotes and positions, just type in her name in the search box above to get a listing of past blog posts that went over her insanity.

But it is not just her quotes that make her look foolish. She is a Democrat in name but really is a socialist that wants to impose freedom restricting socialist tenets on the country. But as what happens in all socialistic countries around the world, those ruling those countries always seem to make out better than the oppressed people they rule over. Ocasio-Cortez was recently at a photo-op with a group of construction workers. Nothing special there, all politicians look for good photo ops. 

But in this case, Ocasio-Cortez’s reputation of being a supporter of the poor and less fortunate took a big hit. She showed up at the photo-op dressed in a designer set of clothes worth about $3,500:

• Gabriela Hearst - $1,990
• Gabriela Hearst pants - $625
• Monolo Blahnik shoes - $625

One outfit worth $3,500, how many other high end expensive clothes does this “socialist” have at home? If one of her constituents was earning $15 an hour, the minimum wage that she is pushing, then her jacket alone is worth more than three weeks of wages. At less than $15 an hour, then we are probably looking at a month’s worth of wages just for the jacket.

People were not happy:

• A Reddit user said: “This so pisses me off. Bugs the shit out of me that she wants to raise taxes, pretending to champion the poor….in a $3k outfit.”
• Another Reddit user: “I’ve never met a socialist who had the faintest idea of redistributing a penny of their own money. They’re all about taking all the time.” 
• It continued: “As a barmaid she took all $500 of the tips after a holiday night at the bar, stiffing the waitresses with only $50. She is only a socialist if she can take as much as she wants and leave the scraps for everyone else.”

Tough to claim you are a supporter of the poor, working class folks when you are parading away in a $3,500 designer outfit. But that is what socialists do, the leaders take what the want and “leave the scraps for everyone else.”

2) In our previous political class insanity post we discussed how blatantly politicians lie. We documented the many lies and/or exaggerations of Ocasio-Cortez and Dianne Feinstein. But rather than let them outdo her, Senator Kamala Harris at the recent Senate hearings on the Kavanaugh nomination for the Supreme Court gave lying her best shot:

• Harris accused Kavanaugh of evading answering her question on whether or not he had spoken with Trump’s law firm about the Mueller investigation.
• Kavanaugh replied that he had no idea what she was talking about.
• He said that he did know every lawyer at the law firm, Kasowitz Benson Torres, a large law firm of 300 lawyers.
• This set Harris off who then ranted and raved for 10 minutes.
• But ranting and raving cannot compete with facts and realities, neither of which Harris had, her behavior was all lies and theatrics.
• Plus, Kasowitz came out and officially stated that Kavanaugh had never talked with someone at the firm about Mueller.

Another day, another lie, really gets tiring after a while.

3) It is one thing when U.S. citizens try to corrupt the voting processes in this country. It is quite another when illegal immigrants try to corrupt our voting processes:

• A North Carolina Federal grand jury recently indicted 19 illegal immigrants with voting violations.
• Some were charged with falsely claiming to be U.S. citizens.
• They each face up to six years in prison and $350,000 in fines if convicted.
• But some face worse consequences: Mexican Diana Patricia Franco-Rodriguez, was charged with fraud, voting by a non-citizen, and misuse of visas, permits and other official documents and faces up to 26 years in prison.
• This follows the conviction of another North Carolina illegal immigrant who illegallyl voted in both the 2012 and 2016.

So, please, do not try to tell me that there is no serious corruption in our voting processes. Go back to previous posts we had done in 2013 that showed back then we already had a voting fraud issue:

When citizens in a democracy lose faith in the integrity of the voting process, that democracy will cease to exist invery short order.

That will do it for today’s insanity: gross hypocrisy from a socialist politician, lying from yet another Senator, and voting fraud continues to poison our democracy. More insanity to follow.
