Flotsam and Jetsam - A Sunday Assortment

Lots of new material on the wrack line, but not a lot of originality.

Not a high bar, but I still doubt it, at ADN America, Joe Biden: I “Know More than the Vast Majority of People” And he's losing more every day. RNC Research@RNCResearch "Q: "You talk about fighting for the soul of America, but...hate crimes are on the rise, random acts of gun violence, women are under attack—" Biden's staffer interrupts, but he answers anyway by starting to say "we can't let Obama" be president again." I agree. At Twitchy a WaPo fact-check on ‘GOP mystery allegation against Biden’ gets Community Notes alerted, "Republicans pounce". Ben Whedon at JTN, IRS whistleblower to share allegations of DOJ cover-up in Hunter Biden case with Congress: attorney. "Missouri Rep. Jason Smith "has identified that their committee on House Ways and Means is committed to thoroughly hearing these allegations, and so we look forward to a process." NYPo, Biden declares son Hunter ‘has done nothing wrong’ ahead of potential federal charges and at ET, Biden Says Son Hunter ‘Has Done Nothing Wrong’ Amid Rumors of Federal Charges. And how would he know that if he never discussed the family business with Hunter, as he claims?  At Breitbart a Report: Plans Advance for a Hunter Biden Legal Defense Fund.

Charlotte Hazard at JTN reports the British public sours on Biden after coronation snub, says former Thatcher aide "There's been a lot of condemnation in the U.K. of Biden's decision not to attend" Charles' coronation, said Nile Gardiner. I would say he's becoming a very unpopular president in the eyes of the British public. I think this is just the latest snub of America's closest friend and ally." At NYPo, Joe Biden fumbled a century’s worth of coronation precedent by sending Jill Biden in his stead: historian. Not my biggest gripe with Sleazy Joe, but would it have hurt him much to go to a couple of banquets?

'Bonchie' at Red State claims Stephanie Ruhle's Behavior in Biden Interview Was Absolutely Shameless, even by current 'standards.' At Town Hall, Sarah Arnold, Biden and Harris Mocked for Ridiculous 'Clown Car' Selfie "The cringe hurts," Tactical Wisdom's Joe Dolio said, adding, "Mr. Environment is taking a full 30-car motorcade to Subway."

Hat Hair's KT finds it outrageous that Mayorkas claims “The border is not open, it has not been open..." but it's not exactly airtight. At Da Caller, ‘No Question’: Former Clinton Pollster Says Biden Admin Is Racing To ‘Clean’ Up Border Chaos Before 2024 Election “Well, look, obviously whether it’s open or closed, it’s porous,” Mark Penn, chairman of the Harris Poll, told Fox News host Martha MacCallum. “People are pouring through the border and I think the American public knows that. That’s why there’s about a 60% disapproval of the administration’s policy. It’s why it’s after the economy, the number one issue.”

At WUWT, Eric Worrall explains Biden and the Bank Crash – Why Biden’s Green Energy Push is Driving US Banks into Insolvency "Why do I think this is Biden’s fault? The reason is Biden’s attack on fossil fuel and reckless borrowing to push forward the green transition is a major driver of inflation." But there's so much good green graft to be made! Anxious anxiously prays GOP moderates privately panic over debt ceiling deal. 

Mediaite finds Megyn Kelly Tells Tucker Carlson to ‘Walk Away’ From Fox Contract & ‘Forfeit Pay’: ‘Let Fox Take Him to Court’. I do think he could pull it off and come out even or ahead. From ET, ‘Manufactured’ Media Lies Can End Democracy: Tucker Carlson Makes First In-Person Speech After Departing From Fox. “When I accepted this speech … I didn’t realize how much free time I would have.” The Lofton Party explores Media Matters for America vs. Tucker Carlson. So far, their attacks have been duds. 

The Victory Girls find it hysterical that Hillary Clinton Wants “Enforceable Code Of Ethics” For Supreme Court. From Da Caller, Here Are The Times Liberal Justices Had Political Entanglements That Were Largely Ignored By Democrats. David Harsanyi thinks Instead of Smearing Justices, Senators Should Be Asking Them For Ethics Lessons. 

Althouse, The enigmatic, paradoxical rhetoric of Ramaswamy.

Fox, Ted Cruz challenger said it would've been 'better' if Second Amendment 'had not been written', 'Would it be better if it had not been written? Of course,' Rep. Colin Allred, D-Texas, said. 'But there’s no chance that we’re going to repeal any of the Bill of Rights amendments' Did he just make himself unelectable?

At PM, Biden's DOJ continues prosecution of Trump by going after LIV Golf documents. "The DOJ has subpoenaed the Trump Organization for documents related to Trump’s dealings with the Saudi-backed LIV Golf." Just continued legal harassment. 

Althouse is fascinated by "One Twitter user dubbed the woman 'Insurrection Eva Braun'.... Someone called her 'fascist Matilda'..." ""... and several users made jokes about her being a character from a Wes Anderson movie. 'Emily in-carceration,' read one of the joke tweets referring to the show 'Emily in Paris.' There were a couple of comparisons to April Ludgate, the character played by Aubrey Plaza in NBC’s 'Parks and Recreation.' . . . From "Jan. 6 rioter in pink beret identified after ex spotted her in a viral FBI tweet/'It’s just going to be one of those things for me. I dated this girl that was on the FBI’s most wanted list" (NBC News).

At PM, Man pleads guilty in Seattle to fatal shooting of special needs teen at 2020 CHAZ, "A witness said the shooter looked at the person on the ground and shot him twice describing it as "…one shot low at the victim then the shooter raised his gun slightly and fired again.”" A Democrat approved riot.

Am Great's Lloyd Billingsley is connecting the dots  From Nashville to San Bernardino, and "Karine, Kamala and the killers."

Dan Chaitin at Da Wire reports how Jordan’s House Panel Takes Aim At WEF-Backed Scheme To Censor ‘Harmful’ Online Content. Rand Paul at Town Hall, The RESTRICT Act Gives Up Nearly All Notions of Checks and Balances.  From ET, Sen. Rand Paul Warns RESTRICT Act Would Allow Feds to Nullify First Amendment. Hat Hair's Jazz Shaw thinks We should talk about just how bad the RESTRICT Act is. Congress has a knack for making things worse rather than better. That way, they can save us later from the problems they create (and make new ones in the process). At Da Caller, Rep. Mast Demands Taxpayer-Funded Voice Of America Stop ‘Carrying Water For The Left’ and Elizabeth Warren’s Censorship Demand To Amazon Is Constitutional, Federal Court Rules. At the National Post (CA), CRTC considering banning Fox News from Canadian cable packages. "An LGBTQ rights group asked the CRTC to ban Fox News over 'false and horrifying claims' made by host Tucker Carlson regarding transgender individuals."  At SLAY, Megyn Kelly Gives Fox News Hilarious New Nickname: ‘Foxweiser’. Not my idea of hilarious, but mildly amusing. At NewsBusters, CNN's Jim Acosta Lets Lefty Journalist Accuse Fox of Inciting Trigger-Happy Whites. At NewsBusters,  Scathing Report Shows Bing’s Leftist Bias Just as Awful as Google’s. Thom Nichols at Front Page, The Gestapo Woke AP Stylebook "When a style-control evolves into thought-control." You can't say that. At Da Fed, Elle Purnell, Conservatives Won The Word ‘Woke.’ Now It’s Time To Reclaim Accurate Language Everywhere. Matt Taibbi has A Good Catch by a Reader, Regarding the Break from the "Pentagon Papers Principle"

It’s the basic rhetorical trick of the censorship age: raise a fuss about a foreign threat, using it as a battering ram to get everyone from congress to the tech companies to submit to increased regulation and surveillance. Then, slowly, adjust your aim to domestic targets. You can see the subtlety: the original Stanford piece tries to stick to railing against “disinformation” and information from “foreign adversaries,” but the later paper circulated by Aspen slips in, ever so slightly, a new category of dubious source: “foreign or other adversarial entities.”
. . .
As reader O’Neill correctly pointed out, “they are now getting close to being explicit about the fact that their motivation for suppressing news is to fight domestic political adversaries.”

Ed Driscoll at Insty, 21st CENTURY HEADLINES: New conservative AI chatbot drops, named after President Reagan. "ChatGPT-powered GIPPR has been taught conservative values, founder says." It would be amusing to pit them against each other in a debate.Hat Hair;s Jazz Shaw says God help us. Veep to tackle AI challenge. 

Stacy McCain on Fake Indian Syndrome

Kay LeClaire started making a public spectacle of herself as an indigenous activist around 2017, claiming to have various ancestral claims to Native American identity, until some anonymous person on the Internet began researching her genealogy and determined that, in fact, LeClaire’s ancestry is German, Swedish and French Canadian. And, as I say, such “pretendians” are a proliferating phenomenon in academia, especially in Canada: Professor Carrie Bourassa (University of Saskatchewan), President Vianne Timmons (Memorial University of Newfoundland), and Gina Adams (Emily Carr University), among others, prompting a very obvious inquiry: “Why so many Canadians pretend to be indigenous.”

Breitbart reports Former MMA Champ Issues Challenge to the ’10 Toughest Trans Men in the World,’ One Trans Wrestler Agrees to Fight.

From Twitchy, Dee Snider responds to being booted from San Francisco Pride Parade for opposing the genital mutilation of children. Oh, the honor of it. Also, Florida Republicans dance in the aisles after passing anti-trans legislation (not). At Not The Bee, DeSantis interrupts woke reporter to demolish the press for their use of euphemisms like "gender-affirming healthcare"

WATCH: DeSantis interrupts reporter on sex transition for minors

"Seriously? ... I know people in your industry will dress it up with a euphemism, and they'll say it's 'healthcare' to cut off the private parts of a 14 or 15-year-old. That is not healthcare, that is mutilation." pic.twitter.com/Nok2YuYmbk

At the Star, Massachusetts Middle School Doubles Down on Censoring 12-Year-Old’s ‘Two Genders’ Shirt. Chris Queen at PJM reports The Washington Post Did a Poll on the Trans Narrative, and It Didn't Like the Results "The poll proved that a considerable majority of Americans don’t agree with allowing kids to go down the transgender path. A whopping 70% think transing kids is bad, while 60% don’t agree with transing teens. Moreover, a majority of those surveyed believe that elementary and middle school kids don’t need to hear transgender propaganda in schools."

Hat Hair's Capt. Ed notes The Left and Right agree: Boycott Bud. My boycott against the weak, bland beer continues. Nick Arama at Red State sees that Bud Light Trips Over Former Statement With New Action, Gets Wrecked by Right and Left. Remember the first rule of holes. Stop digging. At WJ, the    Agency Behind Mulvaney Bud Light Can Just Got Devastating News. You're fired. From the Babylon Bee, In Major Effort To Attract New Recruits, Navy Offering Unlimited Bud Light. "This offer will entice exactly the type of recruits we're looking for," said Rear Admiral Alexis "Lex" Walker, who runs Navy Recruiting Command. "With drag queens serving as the face of Navy recruitment and Bud Light serving as our official recruitment beverage, we'll be narrowing our efforts to a very specific segment of the population... if you know what I mean," he said with a wink."

Breitbart reports, Take That, Florida: F1 Champion Lewis Hamilton Rips Parental Rights in Education Law. At Am Great, Eric Lendrum hears Colorado Teachers’ Union Pass Resolution Declaring that Capitalism ‘Inherently Exploits Children.’ From the Martin Center, A Florida Bill to Promote Fairness on Campus. "HB 931 will improve campus debates and ban flagrantly ideological hiring."

At PM, Denver councilwoman says white-owned businesses should pay higher taxes and excess revenue should go to black-owned businesses. That's one way to encourage white-owned businesses to leave town.

Herr Professor Jacobsen at LI, “You may not be interested in culture war, but culture war is interested in you.” "If you are unwilling to fight against the culture war on truth and sanity being forced upon you, despite your desire to just be left alone, then you have surrendered."

Guy who writes dime store potboilers about psychokillers not interested in why our society produces young people who want to kill children? Those triggers don't pull themselves.

Anyway you're million$ into death porn, not clear to me where you get off on moralizing abt anything.

Flotsam and Jetsam - Sleepy Joe, Talking Tucker

Yeah, we're still talking Tucker. At the Wombats, In The Mailbox: 04.28.23 Am Con's  Bradley Devlin describes A Last Supper with Tucker Carlson, "Did Fox News strike after Tucker Carlson spoke about God at the Heritage Foundation’s 50th Anniversary Gala?" It's long, but a good read IMHO.  Also from the Wombat, Da Fed's Auguste Meyrat says Tucker Carlson’s Fox Departure Signals The End For Corporate Media. If only. Also at Da Fed, Stella Morbata reports I Taped A Show With Tucker On Censorship Right Before He Was Fired. 

Ace hears a rumor from Matt Boyle: Fox Is Trying to Keep Tucker Carlson Off The Air Through the 2024 Election. "We've been hearing this, but Matt Boyle is excellent confirmation. Tucker Carlson hired him out of college to work at the Daily Caller (which Tucker used to own; I think he sold it because Fox forced him to)." PM hears from Newsmax's Carl Higbie that BlackRock played a role in Tucker Carlson's Fox ouster. At 1945, Tucker Carlson To 19FortyFive: I’m Still Employed By Fox “I’m still employed by Fox,” ,"Carlson said in a text message to 19FortyFive. Carlson, however, did not go into detail why he believes his show was cancelled." Hat Hair's Capt. Ed says "That’s likely going to be a very temporary situation. Fox may want to sit on Tucker for as long as possible to keep him from competing, but Tucker could then have a breach-of-contract claim against Fox. I’d guess that attorneys on both sides are crafting an exit agreement that will force Fox to pony up the rest of their contract or let him get on with his work elsewhere. Or a blend of both." PJM's Matt Margolis, The Fox News Feud With Tucker Carlson Is About to Get Ugly, with blackmail rumors.

Flotsam and Jetsam - Trans Day of Rage - Transgunman Kills 3 Kid 3 Adults at Nashville Christian School

Once I woke up from my post anaesthetic nap yesterday, a new school shooting in Nashville was all over news. A gunman had entered a school associated with a Christian school in Nashville TN, killed three children, three adults and was him/herself killed by the police. The news took a while to develop, but when they identified the shooter, it turned out to be a transman (a woman seeking to become a man, for those confused by the lingo), who had left behind a manifesto, which to my knowledge, has yet to be fully revealed to the public. Speculation that he/she went to the school many years before, and was upset by Tennessee's attempt to ban the gender bending of children. This, all after transactivists declared a  Trans Day of Vengence. Stacy McCain, BREAKING NEWS: Nashville School Shooter Is Probably Not a Trump Voter. 

While I always strive to avoid speculation in situations like this, the (allegedly) transgender person known as Audrey (or “Aiden”) Hale does not seem to fit the MAGA profile. It is not yet known if Hale’s motive was political, or if she/“he” was just crazy. Therefore I must withhold judgment on whether this shooting — which killed three children and three adults at a Christian school in the Green Hills neighborhood of Nashville — could be described as transgender terrorism. 

Ace, Update: Transgender Killer Confirmed; Left Behind a "Manifesto". Matt Vespa at Town Hall on Why the Nashville Christian School Shooting Is About to Disappear From the News Cycle. Don Surber, What the media doesn't say about a mass murderer details the MSM attempting dodge the facts. eg. "In a 28-paragraph account, CNN did not mention the transsexualism of the shooter. It did say, “The shooter did not have any known history of mental illness.” But we are not allowed to call transsexualism a mental disorder." 'Bonchie' at Red State thinks the Press Make an Absolutely Horrific Move in Dealing With the Psychotic Transgender Shooter. They're worried about what pronouns to use. Jorge Bonilla@BonillaJL, "IT BEGINS: ABC's Terry Moran ties the Nashville school shooting to Tennessee's recently-passed legislation banning the hormonization and mutilation of minors. The shooter was 28."

Twitchy, Matt Walsh holds NOTHING back in short but BRUTALLY honest thread on left-wing trans extremists Matt Walsh@MattWalshBlog "I have been telling you for a long time that left wing trans extremists are violent, dangerous people who have made been to feel absolutely entitled to say and do whatever they want. The deranged claims of “genocide” are an open invitation to violence. It will get worse from here." Ace, Women's Rights Activist Posie Parker Physically Assaulted by Trans Extremists at a Speech in New Zealand David Strom, Trans activists get "mostly peaceful"

Posie Parker (Kellie-Jay Keene) is a British anti-transgender ideology activist, and she has been on a world tour to make her case. She has been harassed every step along the way, both by the governments in countries she has been visiting and by the thousands of activists who have been mobbing and shutting down her events. She gets “special treatment” (customs harassment) when entering countries and is smeared by the news media as a White supremacist.

Because she opposes trans ideology. As you can see from the video, she wasn’t just shouted down. She was physically assaulted by a mob. She had to shelter in a police station, and the police escorted her to the airport so that she could escape from New Zealand less than 24 hours after she arrived to speak.

John Sexton at Hat Hair, One of Rand Paul's staffers was 'brutally attacked' in DC over the weekend, was it directed political violence, or random crime? Bad either way.

 Joe Biden didn't exactly cover himself with glory over the Nashville shootings. NYPo, Biden makes ice cream joke in first statement since Nashville shooting. USA Today, Chris Christie says President Biden fumbled Nashville shooting response with ice cream joke. Fox, Nashville school shooting: Biden criticized for joking about ice cream in first statement since attack. But of course, he did use it to plug his "assault weapons" ban. Fox, Biden vows to tank GOP effort to boost energy production "Republican efforts to boost energy production 'would take us backward,'" Backward to warm winters, cool summers and energy independence. A Monmoth poll cited at Hat Hair, Dems want a new presidential nominee, 44/25 ... but ... "Among those who do have a preferred alternative, Vice President Kamala Harris (13%) is the only potential contender who registers above single digits."

CNBC, Deposit drain from smaller banks into financial giants like JPMorgan Chase has slowed, sources say. Capt. Ed, "SVB got caught with its pants down on its bond assets. So did Signature Bank and Credit Suisse, apparently. The next few weeks will be key to seeing just how badly smaller and regional banks prepared for the inevitable rate hikes that followed the beginning of the inflationary wave that started almost exactly two years ago. If the Fed holds off on future interest rate hikes for a while and lets banks tighten money access on their own to stabilize their balance sheets, the worst of this may be behind us."

“Yeah, it’s funny, I mean, I was raised in a traditional ACLU liberal, I believed in free speech all my life. That was one of the things, frankly, that attracted me to the Democratic Party when I was a kid, the idea that we were the party that believed in letting everybody have a say, and we’ll just make a better argument, and that’s how the system works,” Taibbi said.

“Apparently, something very dramatic has changed in politics in America, and there’s been a shift. There’s no question about it anymore, that now the parties have had a complete reversal on how they read these issues.”

For example, Rozado’s data show that on the ISideWith 2023 Political Quiz, ChatGPT absurdly stated the U.S. government should raise taxes on the rich, provide free college for all and provide illegal immigrants with subsidized healthcare, in-state tuition at public colleges and the right to vote. It also answered that the U.S. should abolish the electoral college, that local police funding should instead be spent on social and community programs and that convicted criminals should have the right to vote. ChatGPT is also admittedly pro-choice and favors government funding of Planned Parenthood.

Flotsam and Jetsam - Is The Tide Is Turning Against Big Trans?

It appears that the week's furor over the impending (or not) indictment and arrest of Donald Trump has ended with a whimper, though I'm sure it will heat up again. At NYPo, Jonathon Turley lays out Why Alvin Bragg’s case against Trump is falling apart. The Free Bacon reports an old Democratic Operative Takes Credit for Sparking Trump Hush Money Probe. Former "Special" counsel to President Clinton, Lannie Davis. Democrat hoaxes always seem to point back to the Clintons. Ben Whedon at JTN hears Turley worry about a 'Race to the bottom': Legal experts fear escalation spiral ahead of possible Trump indictment "My concern is that this could trigger a type of tit-for-tat response where Republican prosecutors seek to weaponize criminal charges against Democrats." Game Theory teaches us that a tit-for-tat response minimizes the cheating by making it not pay off.

And Vicky Taft Ray reports Epps' Lawyer Threatens Tucker Carlson: 'You Didn't See What You Saw on J6 Video — or Else' Yeah, good luck with that. WaEx reports Progressive Democrats join MTG to visit Jan. 6 defendants in DC jail  "Freshman Reps. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) and Robert Garcia (D-CA) are planning to join the congressional delegation as they seek to bring an ideological balance to Friday’s visit, according to Axios. The pair emphasized their presence is not meant to be interpreted as supporting Greene’s endeavors to paint Jan. 6 defendants as “political prisoners” but rather to highlight broader matters of incarceration reform." WSJ highlights Dominion’s Weak Case Against Fox. "Victory for the plaintiff would severely weaken the First Amendment protection all news media enjoy" which is the only reason they care.

Ace, Newly-Revealed Emails Show That Biden's Praetorian Were Successful in Convincing the Media to Refuse to Run Any Negative Stories About the Invalid Candidate, "One aide bragged that she convinced an alleged journalist to "not use" any negative information about the Biden family unless "her editors held a gun to her head." At LI, Leslie Eastman finds a Study that Concludes Nature’s 2020 Endorsement of Biden Hurt Trust in Science "The progressive attempts to push pseudoscience on Americans are reaping some unintended consequences." You're not supposed to trust science, you're supposed to question it intelligently. At Racket, Matt Taibbi says People Can Win. "We've been trained to think that endless rule by tiny minorities of really horrible people is the natural order of things, but that turns out to be just another lie." Neil Patel at Creators makes an interesting link, What's Driving Speech Codes and Bank Failures -- It's All the Same Problem. "The real reason for all the new speech restrictions is a breakdown in trust. The American people have lost trust in their leaders and their institutions."

All of which leaves us with only the "Culture War" section, which is double stuffed because I let it slide yesterday. At Commentary, Abe Greenwald claims The Tide Is Turning Against Big Trans. I'd like to believe that. At Twitchy, NPR roasted for claiming ‘limited scientific evidence’ trans women have a physical advantage. Christina Pushaw@ChristinaPushaw, "NPR is funded by American taxpayers despite zero scientific evidence of any benefit to society. Stacy McCain, says ‘Limited Scientific Evidence’ my ass, or words to that effect. "Are you kidding me with this? What kind of “journalism” is being practiced at NPR? Perhaps the kind in which ordinary common sense is prohibited." vicky Marshall at Da Fed sees Georgia, Iowa Overcome Near-Unanimous Democrat Opposition To Ban Child Mutilation Surgeries.

"As Brandon Morse noted*, what’s significant here is not that somebody got bullied off the internet, but the massive backlash that bullying inspired in not just VTuber fandom, but a lot of people who had just had it up to here with the (alleged) minority of trans activists going around making other peoples’ lives miserable over video games. A lot of trans activists online got jumped on with both boots for not policing their own bad actors, and then 4chan got into the act."

Mulder’s Long Fight for Account Reinstatement@proteinwisdom "Stunning and brave. Not everyone has the balls to stand up for the right to cut them off of children."

On the other hand, UPI, cited by Hat Hair, Kentucky gov vetoes "anti-trans" bill. Kentucky? "The legislation would have banned gender-affirming care for patients under 18, banned transgender students from using the bathroom of their choice, end a requirement that teachers use correct pronouns for students, and also ban lessons on sexual orientation." Beege Wellborn snarks I love how the news service phrases it – “anti-trans” – and as opposed to protecting minors, with nothing about children’s rights. From the Daily Fetched, Pentagon Doctors: 7-Year-Olds Can Consent to Be Injected with Puberty Blockers. At the Free Bacon, Dems Push to Make Oregon a Safe Haven for Child Sex Changes "Dem-backed bill would also allow girls of any age to get abortion without parental consent."

What? A principal was fired over 6th graders seeing a photo of Michelangelo’s David sculpture. "Two parents complained that they were not given advance notice and one parent called the art “not age-appropriate” for the children and pornographic." Yeah, that's a little extreme. 

Regarding the recent Stanford kerfuffle, Mike LaChance at LI points out Alan Dershowitz Says Stanford Law Protest was Orchestrated by Well Known Left Wing Group.  “The disruption was organized by the local chapter of National Lawyers Guild as part of a nationwide effort to suppress conservative speech.” At WSJ (cited at Hat Hair) a Stanford Law professor: Can't ignore the rise of ideological intolerance on campus any longer. Chaz Cooke at NRO (also cited at Hat Hair) thinks Tirien Steinbach doesn't get to judge the "juice" or the "squeeze". Capt. Ed at Hat Hair hears the Stanford DEI dean: We have to start listening!

From Fox, 'Parents Bill of Rights' wins zero votes from Dems who attack it as 'fascism,' 'extreme' attack on schools "The bill is the GOP's response to growing anger about lack of access to school information across the nation" and AOC roasted over calling Republican parents' rights bill 'fascism:' 'Clown show every time she talks' "Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claimed her progressive value is 'freedom over fascism'" 'Bonchie' at Red State, Democrats Blow Their Tops Over New Parental Bill of Rights. Well, their tops are pretty loosely attached.
