My latest in PJ Media:
As her Squadmates Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar grow progressively more notorious with each passing anti-Semitic comment, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s star has somewhat faded in the Leftist firmament. However, vindication has come at last for AOC. The Independent reported Tuesday that Islamic State (ISIS) jihadists had “rigged cows with explosives in an attack on Iraqi security forces, in what is thought to be the first time the group has weaponised cattle.” When I read that, the first thing I thought was Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was right all along. How, oh how, could we ever have doubted the socialist wunderkind?
“The two cows,” reported the Independent, “were strapped with explosives belts and were heading towards a military checkpoint in Diyala province when Iraqi soldiers opened fire and ‘blew them up.’”
AOC (D-N.Y.) was buried under an avalanche of ridicule when she unveiled her “Green New Deal” program. And it certainly seemed well-deserved at the time. The FAQ provided by Ocasio-Cortez’s office spoke of the United States providing “economic security for all,” including not just those who were “unable,” but also those who were “unwilling” to work. Who could object? Surely The Rich will cheerfully pony up to support these contemplatives in the manner to which they have become accustomed – and if they don’t, they’ll have to face the consequences with which socialists have always rewarded dissenters.
AOC’s plan also promised that the United States would become able within the next few years “to fully get rid of farting cows and airplanes.” Everyone laughed. Get rid of “farting cows”? But now we see how far-seeing the Green New Deal plan really is: no cows, no ISIS explosives. No ISIS explosives and peace will reign throughout the world.
There is much more. Read the rest here.
