Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and Rep. Ilhan Omar, Democrats both, protested the Supreme Court’s recent Dobbs decision on abortion, standing in the street in front of the Court building. When they ignored police orders to stop blocking traffic, they received a polite escort away from the scene. Oddly, AOC and Omar both walked with their hands behind behind their backs, as if in handcuffs. Why would dignified Members of Congress mime manacles for a pretend perp walk?

Besides THE BIG LIES what else does the Left, “Fascistic Socialists”/AMERICAN MARXISM have? The answer, NOTHING topped wit3h more NOTHING.
This is the “fundamental transformation nof America.”.
Come see the violence inherent in the system! Help! Help! I’m being repressed!
Anyone beside Scott and I let out a chuckle when Steve mentioned “cool weather Scotch?
Uhh, they are not white.
The radical elements that have hijacked the Democrat Party are children in more ways than one. They do not understand the Law of Diminishing Returns nor the concept of apathy.
They thought that if a little bit of lying and cheating worked well for them, then a whole lot more lying and cheating would work even better.
They thought that if a little bit of political theater helped them into power then a lot of political theater would give them a lock on power.
Neither thing is true. Never has been, never will be. Eventually people either notice you’re lying to them or they just get to a point where they don’t give a damn what you say anymore. Either way, if you’re not careful with your “more is always better” approach to politics you will eventually crash and burn.
You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.*
The children who have managed to gain control of the Democrat Party have yet to learn this lesson.
Perhaps because they didn’t study history. History being too inconveniently true for their purposes no doubt.

In a slightly longer version of that same clip, the insane communist bartender is seen to be raising a fist in solidarity and defiance ….. handcuffs indeed!
“synthetic injustice!” — there is a thread winning phrase right there! Two words that encapsulate the whole CRT, woke, PC, identitarian, communistic Leftist program, narrative, and agenda.
All Republican office holders and candidates should start using that phrase in an appropriate way – but unfortunately some of them don’t have a clue of how well that might work if propounded in unison.
Bill Whittle, “Synthetic Injustice” –
Best definition I have heard!
Makes you wonder when the press got there. Were they told to be there at a certain time to bear witness? Or did they just show up when the “heard” that there were members of congress protesting.
I know which way my bet would go.
Sort of like last fall when a local “journalist” happened to show up at a Youngkin campaign event right as the North American Man Boy Lincoln Project pulled that false flag stunt
Kurt Schlichter had the best nickname for AOC – “Gulag Barbie”
They pull stunts like this becasue they know that their base is stupid enough to believe this and the legacy media is dishonest enough to not give them the ridicule they so richly deserve.
I like Occasional Cortex myself… Klavan’s contribution I think…
In the United States, the biggest health problem in the poorest black communities is obesity. Big picture, that says it all.
Its all about maintaining power. Not about USA and our concerns. Whatever the next election cycle is about…….not what is best for the country.
While the screams to “burn it down” in reference to the Supreme Court are definitely the antithesis of the Republic, it is not the atithesis of democracy. Democracy is, by definition, mob rule. The mob was screaming for the head of Barabbas; fortunately, wiser heads ruled the day.
I may be misunderstanding what you are trying to say about the mob screaming for the head of Barabbas. My bible says the mob was screaming to free Barabbas and crucify Jesus.
No confusion intended.
I just wanted to subtlety highlight the perpetually-confused state of the Left and its mob; they’ve forgotten who’s who and what’s what — reality is alien to them. Barabbas, Jesus, you, me … it matters not to these freaks and their mob-driven evil agendas.
Perhaps my subtlety was too much.
thanks for the update. I really like the postings that you add to the conversation on most of the topics. You have become a regular breath of fresh air and common (uncommon) sense in the crazy world in which we live today. Blessings to you and yours
Thank you, sir. You may be in a minority with that assessment. 🙂
Not being religious, I picked up my religious knowledge via social osmosis. But even as a young child, when I first heard this story, I never understood why the “adults” assigned deicide to the Jews as a group, when it was clear to me that this crowd was made up of perhaps 30 or so people, max, and presumably did not represent the views and feelings of the wider Jewish population.
This is what I visualize when I see either of their smug, smiling faces. I apologize for the external link:

They are evil incarnate.
Aside from the invisible cuffs, one could not help but notice the self-satisfied smirk on AOC’s face and the knowing side glances. Whether or not this gang is capable of shame, they seem to lack the ability to see themselves from the outside. They see themselves as saviors. Most others see them as selfish, foolish, insincere, and amateurish kabuki actors.
Yep, Veruca got what she wanted. Let’s hope it ends for our modern day Veruca as well as it did with Gene Wilder in charge.

Maybe this is where Obama came up with his 57 states?
I am clearly missing some social meme or reference here :-).
