As Serious As A Heart Attack

(CNN)Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, along with progressive freshmen Reps. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, are endorsing Sen. Bernie Sanders for president, several sources told CNN on Wednesday.

Ocasio-Cortez's plan to endorse Sanders was first reported in The Washington Post.

Conniving Occasional-Cortex is doubtless hoping that the geriatric will tap her as his running mate and somehow win the election. Then, three or four months into a Bernie presidency, he'll drop dead, vaulting her into the office.

Her endorsement comes as no surprise, given that she worked on Bernie's 2016 campaign.

 

Kansas City Felony

Who knew that insanity is so contagious?

A 12-year-old Overland Park girl formed a gun with her fingers, pointed at four of her Westridge Middle School classmates one at a time, and then turned the pretend weapon toward herself.

Police hauled her out of school in handcuffs, arrested her and charged the child with a felony for threatening.

Maybe they thought it was a fully-loaded semi-automatic finger.

This country isn't going down the tubes, it's gone down them.

As one person observed:

Note: Kansas State Law on Sexual Battery - The touching must be committed with the intent to arouse or satisfy the sexual desires of the offender or another person. Sexual battery in Kansas is a class A person misdemeanor and carries up to one year in jail and a $2,500 fine if convicted.
But pretending to shoot people with a Finger Pistol = Felony?

Sad.

Lieowtha Strikes Again

Much like she did in the questionable ancestry claim, Warren is proving to be just as stubborn in standing by her tale of woe that she was fired from teaching children with special needs after becoming “visibly pregnant.”

Adding to Warren’s problem is that the Washington Free Beacon obtained the minutes of an April 21, 1971, Riverdale Board of Education meeting that showed the board voted unanimously on a motion to extend Warren a “2nd year” contract for a two-days-per-week teaching job.

“That job is similar to the one she held the previous year, her first year of teaching. Minutes from a board meeting held two months later, on June 16, 1971, indicate that Warren’s resignation was ‘accepted with regret,'” the Free Beacon reported.

Yet, Warren insisted in an interview Monday with CBS News that she lost the job due to sexual discrimination.

She faked her Indian heritage, not just to benefit personally from an affirmative action slot against actual Native Americans for whom the Ivy League law slots were intended, but also to browbeat whites about racial discrimination from her ancestors' supposed racially mixed marriage.  That never happened in her home state of Oklahoma, where whites and Native Americans intermarry more frequently than any other state in the country and most longtime Oklahomans actually can claim some Native American ancestry, although, as Warren's case shows, not all of them.  

Time and again, Warren has this worldview that is premised on the lefty idea of everybody being a victim.  She's using that a lot on herself, claiming to be a victim in two instances now, as a means of advancing, and she's used phony victimhood in research to advance her career in a third.

Why anyone pays attention to her remains a mystery.

She lies about everything, as she's repeatedly demonstrated.

 

 

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

PULLMAN, Wash. — The City of Pullman has been fined $2,700 for violations stemming from its rescue efforts during the city's historic April flood.

The fire department rescued 22 people, including an infant, during the flooding, according to Pullman Mayor and Fire Department spokesman Glenn Johnson.

The fines stem from safety violations while crews used a front-end loader to rescue people.

Apparently, the state bureaucrats feel it would have been better to just let the folks drown.

The first violation occurred when the fire department used a front-end loader carrying three firefighters at four different locations during the flood. The second fine came from allowing firefighters wearing their gear to be unsecured in the bucket of the front-end loader without personal flotation devices or a helmet appropriate for water rescues. The last fine was due to the city not providing and requiring "the use of appropriate safety devices and safeguards, including allowing an employee to ride unsecured" in the front-end loader.

There were no injuries during the rescue operations.

Not that it matters.

"Emergency situation, my foot! We got rules here, buddy. You follow them or else!"

 

California Shocker: Deriminalize Crime - Get More Crime

VACAVILLE (CBS13) — You’ve likely seen the videos on social media or the local news: groups of people rushing into a store, grabbing armfuls of merchandise. The brazen crimes are on the rise and CBS13 has learned, in most cases, the crooks get away from authorities. 

After searching police reports and arrest records, CBS13 found that while the rate of these grab and dash crimes is on the rise, the rate of arrest is down. We turned to law enforcement and the retail industry for answers. Both blame a California law intended to make “neighborhoods safe.”

The law of unintended consequences is hard at work.

They've since passed another law that makes organized grab and dash involvement a felony. There's just one problem:

cops have to be able to catch them.

 

Washington State Gun Control

Violent crime in Tacoma is up significantly, with 22 people killed in the city so far this year. It’s gang violence. Their average is 16 a year. And there's still a ways to go, this year.

Jason Rantz reports for MyNorthwest.com that Loretta Cool, spokesperson for the Tacoma Police Department, told the Tacoma News Tribune that “gang violence has not increased.” However, gang members are involved.

The mental gymnastics are fantastic on this spin:

“What we’re seeing is people who are identified as gang members are some of the people who are committing crimes,” Cool insisted, “but the crimes are more interpersonal relationship related or just that individual that’s committing a crime and though that person may be identified as a gang member, that doesn’t mean that it’s a gang-related crime.”

 That's all very PC and all, but it doesn't accomplish much, Loretta.

 

We May Not Have To Fall Into The Pacific

Just over half of California’s registered voters have considered leaving the state, with soaring housing costs cited as the most common reason for wanting to move, according to a new poll. Young voters were especially likely to cite unaffordable housing as a reason for leaving, according to the latest latest UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll conducted for the Los Angeles Times. But a different group, conservatives, also frequently suggested they wanted to leave — and for a very different reason: They feel alienated from the state’s political culture.

One in five Californians pay more than 50% of their income for housing, according to the state Department of Finance.

The Berkeley IGS poll found that 82% of the 18- to 29-year-olds considering leaving the state cited housing costs as a reason, as did nearly 80% of 30- to 39-year-olds. The poll suggests some “real threats” to California should those voters actually leave. “That impacts the young workforce. The old folks are growing in number, and you can’t have the young folks shrinking in number.”

California's just not as attractive as it seemed to be in the 60s. But Oregon's not very far behind: in Portland, the city's latest "ban plan" to promote "gender neutrality" and demonstrate how "progressive" they are involves -

Yep.

So to make things gender-neutral, the most radically left-wing city in America has reportedly banned urinals from its most iconic building, the Portland Municipal Services Building.

Standing 15 stories high in downtown Portland, Oregon, the building is currently being remodeled, and part of the remodeling involves making its bathrooms gender-neutral.

And it just so happens that in a gender-neutral world, urinals simply cannot exist.

“The City of Portland banned urinals in the remodeled Portland Building,” local station KGW reported last week, adding that this means urinals must be banned “even in the men’s room.”

The Chief Administrative Officer Tom Rinehart wrote to employees,

“I am convinced that this is the right way to ensure success as your employer, remove arbitrary barriers in our community, and provide leadership that is reflective of our shared values."

Well, I don't "share" Tom's "values". And so if I have to visit a city building, one of the first things to happen will involve me peeing on a wall - where the urinals used to be.

Really? Whatever happened to media editors?

 

The Farce Wears On

Thunberg made headlines for sailing to New York on a yacht, a trip that was a little more harmful to the environment than she likes to let on. She came to New York to speak about climate change. Her speech was applauded by leftists, but it sounded more like a teenager just coming up with an excuse not to go to school.

“This is all wrong. I shouldn’t be up here. I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean. Yet you have come to us young people for hope. How dare you? You have stolen my dreams, my childhood with your empty words,” she said.

The 16-year-old, whose name is Greta Thunberg, suffers from Asperger Syndrome, a condition on the autism spectrum. One wouldn’t normally expect someone with Asperger’s to be chosen as the spokesperson for a global movement, given that sufferers from that condition are characteristically lacking in nonverbal communication, struggle with empathy, are typically very uncomfortable around large crowds, obsess pathologically about subjects not under their control, and often engage in long rants without consideration for how they will be received. Thunberg appears to be a more serious case, suffering from depression so severe she once went two months without eating and had to be pulled out of school.

The eco-fascists have now turned to terrorizing and mentally abusing their own children as a tactic for social influence. Greta Thunberg — the hysterical 16-year-old girl who has been rolled out by her Antifa-linked parents to lecture the world about the climate change hoax —  is apparently a prisoner of a torturous brainwashing / indoctrination scheme that has terrorized the poor girl into believing she will literally die if global warming isn’t stopped.

Thunberg has a myriad of mental health issues. She is autistic, has obsessive-compulsive disorder, and suffers from Asperger syndrome and the left is pushing her out onto the world stage and exploiting her.

It sure pays well:

Greta Thunberg, the 16-year-old Swedish girl the left has turned into their poster child for climate change fear-mongering, has been awarded one million kronor ($103,000) for her climate change activism.

"How dare you", indeed.

 

Smoke Break?

Federal prosecutors in California are conducting a criminal probe into e-cigarette maker Juul Labs Inc., according to people familiar with the matter, escalating law-enforcement scrutiny of the startup.

Altria, the maker of Marlboro cigarettes, recently invested almost $13 billion in e-cigarette company Juul. Some experts say in its early days Juul mirrored the tobacco industry’s promotional playbook in an effort to hook young people.

Come to where the flavor is.
