[WASHINGTONTIMES] An employee at the University of California, Berkeley, is facing backlash after expressing glee online at the news that conservative activist Hayden Williams was attacked on campus earlier this week.
Yuvi Panda, who works as a DevOps architect for Berkeley’s Data Science Education Program, tweeted Wednesday night that the reported attack against a Leadership Institute employee on campus made him feel “so much better.”

[Townhall] On Friday, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) earned the adoration of some prominent conservatives for pretty much telling a bunch of kids and their parents to pretty much go shove it when it comes to the Green New Deal. Yes, the parents were using their kids as pawns and the group who confronted the California Democrat, the Sunrise Movement, who are pushing lawmakers to back Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) ruinously expensive Green New Deal.
It will cost trillions based on raw estimates, which is the reason why the plan doesn’t have a price tag or tax increase projections. It calls for updating ALL U.S. buildings to be energy efficient, knocking down those, which cannot be saved, transitioning away from fossil fuels within ten years, and culling farting cows. Oh, and the plan includes economic security for those who are "unwilling to work." It’s a whacky left-wing adventure that is nothing but a recipe to destroy the country. Even labor unions aren’t too keen on it. So, how did this confrontation go down? Well, from Sunrise’s perspective, the senator told them to get lost, portraying her as an establishment snob. It’s quite hilarious, though. And folks you’d thought would never like anything Feinstein does, Erick Erickson and Ben Shapiro, became "fans" overnight (via USA Today):
[Breitbart] Friday on MSNBC’s "Andrea Mitchell Reports," former CIA Director John Brennan said President Donald Trump was "not fit to serve as president of the United States."
Discussing an open letter published in The Washington Post, by Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), Brennan said, "I think Adam Schiff captured it well. Mr. Trump is a deeply flawed individual who I think has demonstrated that he is not fit to serve as president of the United States."
He added, "Adam and others, including myself, have been very dismayed at the Republican leaders of Congress and the members of the Republican party who have been reluctant to call Mr. Trump what he is, which is an individual who has demonstrated the lack of ethics, principles, as well as competence. And so I’m hoping that the Republicans are going to be speaking out against him."

Sorry you leftest, Deep State, Klingon POS, your puppet Hildebeest somehow lost the election. You, Clapper, Comey, Soetoro, and the rest of your evil, smegma lipped insurrectionists need to get over it.

How did someone with judgement so bad that he actually voted for the American communist party ever worm his way into the intestines of Washington. How did he get into the CIA? Some people should be fired for that.
[Lifezette] One of the 2020 presidential hopefuls, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), expanded on an already-radical proposal on Friday, telling reporters that Native-Americans should be "part of the conversation" on reparations for African-Americans ‐ a move that threatens to bring back her own history with Native-Americans.
Taking questions from reporters ahead of a Democratic Party fundraiser in Manchester, New Hampshire, Warren said America has an "ugly history of racism" and outlined her ways to tackle it ‐ including the possibility of reparations.
"We need to confront it head on and we need to talk about the right away to address it and make change," she said.
Warren had said in a statement to The New York Times this week that "we must confront the dark history of slavery and government-sanctioned discrimination in this country that has had many consequences, including undermining the ability of black families to build wealth in America for generations."
"We need systemic, structural changes to address that," she said.
On Friday, asked whether she would include Native-Americans in her support for reparations, Warren answered, "I think it’s a part of the conversation. It’s an important part of the conversation."
Her fellow 2020 hopefuls Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and former San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro have come out in favor of reparations for African-Americans but have so far not gone as far as Warren in opening the door to reparations for Native-Americans. Shouldn't the descendants of Custer's men get reparations from the Sioux?
#7
If there are reparations, somebody will have to manage their distribution. And who is better then a woman who is both a Native American and one of USA's leading legal scholars?
#8
Part of the conversation? Go ahead, dumbass. Talk about it all you want. See how far it gets you.

Actually federal courts have been dealing with just this issue for many decades. It seems the more knowledgeable tribes have been bringing up the issue with respect to treaties the USA madewith various tribes over the centuries, treaties the USA then gratuitously failed to honor. These old disputes are slowly & surely being litigated, money is being appropriated, and checks have been & will be sent out to tribal descendants of those who were basically robbed and cheated so long ago. Circa 2007 my sister & brother each got $12500 from court awards with respect to treaties dating back to 1837. Awards were tax free. I got zero due to red tape. Mother was on the list of recipients, but she died before the awards were finally made & so got zero. Tribes don't call these payments "reparations", but their just due for misfeasance, malfeasance and nonfeasance by the feds.

I am opposed to negotiating with the tribes as if they were actually nations because their people all have American citizenship and pass through the US without going through customs or immigration. If they are independent, act like they are independent. Oh, and we didn't need to honor our treaties. We invaded and annexed their countries, thus making the treaties invalid. There is no honor or legality in national expansion, and there doesn't need to be.

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
United States Constitution (Article VI, Clause 2) Oh, and we didn't need to honor our treaties. We invaded and annexed their countries, thus making the treaties invalid. Go tell that to the judges.

Treat them as separate nations. Revoke their citizenship, then declare war and take the rest from them once and for all. They can either be citizens of the United States or they can be a footnote in history books.

Does she think she's getting a cut of these 'reparations', being a fake Cherokee and all of that?
Senator Warren recently admitted that she is not now, nor has ever been, a legal member of any Indian tribe, so she therefore would not be entitled to reparations. Whether grateful tribe members might choose to donate to her campaign fund, a favourite charity, or hire a close friend or relation in some capacity which they are actually capable of fulfilling is an altogether different question.
[DailyWire] During her segment, Ocasio-Cortez talked about the Green New Deal, and explained her support for a marginal tax rate of 70% on individuals making more than $10 million a year:
If you make more than $10 million in one year, which is a pretty good year ... your ten millionth and one dollar gets taxed at 70%, which, by the way, we used to have marginal tax rates under Republican presidents of 90%, and it was when we experienced some of the largest rates of economic [growth in the United States].
...It really comes down to the question of, isn’t $10 million enough? Like, when does it stop, right? At what point is it immoral that we’re building Jeff Bezos a helipad when we have the most amount of homeless people in New York City?

So where's the incentive to earn those highly taxed extra dollars? I'd imagine the accountants among the commenters are chortling softly to themselves.

And all the pro athletes are cheering her on....or not.

There's reports she doesn't live in her district. We should keep one liberal around to show everyone how crazy they are. I vote for her to be on display in the capital in a glass jar.

There's reports she doesn't live in her district.
Per Silentbrick, this from today’s New York Post (actually from late yestreday, but it would have appeared in print this morning):
She may be America’s most famous freshman congresswoman, but in New York, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a virtual ghost.
She has no district office and no local phone number, unlike the state’s three other freshman members.
And it’s unclear whether the 29-year-old lawmaker, who represents the Bronx and Queens, actually still lives in the Parkchester neighborhood that has been so closely tied to her rise — even though she won her upset victory over fellow Democrat Rep. Joe Crowley with accusations that his home in Virginia made him too Washington-focused to serve his district.
Ocasio-Cortez has used her deceased father’s Bronx condo on her voter registration since 2012, and even posed in the one-bedroom Bronx flat for celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz in a Vogue magazine profile after her stunning November election. But The Post could find little indication she continues to live there.

There is nothing stopping any liberal multi millionaire earner from donating their money to the great cause of big GIVERNMENT. OBama, Oprah, Buffett, Gates... can be the first to donate.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
