Ocasio-Cortez Can’t Answer on How She Will Pay for Her $40 Trillion Price Tag in Government Programs

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was unable to answer on Sunday on how she will pay for her progressive agenda in which some think tanks have estimated would come at a cost of $40 trillion.

"Various new programs including Medicare for all, housing is a federal right, federal jobs guaranteed, tuition free public college, canceling all student loan debt. According to nonpartisan and left leaning, tax policy center, the overall price tag is more than $40 trillion in the next decade," CNN "State of the Union" host Jake Tapper said. "You recently said in an interview increasing taxes on the very wealthy, increased corporate tax rate would make $2 trillion over the next ten years. Where is the other $38 trillion going to come from?"

Ocasio-Cortez responded by stating Medicare for all would end up saving the country money.

"One of the things we need to realize when we look at something like Medicare for all, Medicare for all would save the American people. A very large amount of money," the democratic socialist said. "The United Kingdom has a form of single payer health care, Canada, France, Germany. We need to realize that these investments are better and they are good for our future."

"These are generational investments so that they are not but they are really profound decisions about who we want to be as a nation and how we want to act as the wealthiest nation in the history of the world," Ocasio-Cortez added.

"But the price tag for everything that you laid out in your campaign is $40 trillion over the next ten years. I understand that Medicare for all would cost more to some wealthier people and to the government and to taxpayers, while also reducing individual health care expenditures," Tapper said. "Forty trillion is quite a bit of money. And the tacks that you talked about raising to pay for this, to pay for your agenda, only count for two. We’re going by left-leaning analysts."

Ocasio-Cortez didn’t address Tapper’s question about the concern and instead told a personal anecdote when she talked to a group of citizens that none had health insurance due to it being too expensive. She continued on how millennials are unable to buy homes and cars comes at a cost to the overall economy.

"I guess I won’t get an answer for the other $38 trillion. We’ll have you back and go over that," Tapper concluded.

In an earlier interview, Ocasio-Cortez struggled to explain on how she would pay for her agenda.

School District Takes Defiant Stand, Will Proudly Display ‘In God We Trust’ for All To See


A school district in Alabama will be proudly displaying the nation’s motto, “In God We Trust,” despite the constant assaults on Christianity and American history from the left.

The Cullman County school board last week unanimously approved a resolution to display “In God We Trust” in county schools, according to WVTM-TV.

The motto will greet students when they walk into the front office of all schools in the county’s system.

This is a bold act by any local government in a time when liberals are trying everything they can to separate school children from any semblance of Christianity.

This attack on Christianity is probably best symbolized by Engel v. Vitale court case, the 1962 Supreme Court decision that eliminated prayer from public school unless it was voluntary or student led.

But in the present day, even prayer sessions that seem to be compliant with the strict laws are under attack.

In February, an Ohio school district ceased prayer sessions before football games because they were challenged by a far-left atheist nonprofit called Freedom From Religion Foundation, according to the Alliance, Ohio, paper The Alliance Review.

However, the phrase “In God We Trust” also has deep historical meaning outside of its religious connotations. According to the Treasury Department, it first appeared on U.S. two-cent coins in 1864 — while the Civil War was raging. Its use on currency was sporadic after that until, in 1956, it was declared the national motto by a joint resolution of Congress. It has been on U.S. currency since 1957.

Cullman County Superintendent Shane Barnette stressed the importance of the motto’s historical meaning.

Do you agree with the school district’s decision to display the U.S. motto?

“Some people may disagree with it, but the Legislature voted to allow it,” Barnette said according to The Cullman Times. “I think it’s important for students to know the history and how this came about in our nation’s early years.”

The motto is heavily ingrained in our country. In addition to it being the official motto, it also appear on coinage, some state license plates, and in government buildings.

Unfortunately, the prevalence of the motto doesn’t mean the left hasn’t tried attacking it in the past.

In August, the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Paul, Minnesota rejected an appeal from atheist groups claiming the motto is unconstitutional, according to Reuters.

One of the lawyers involved in making the appeal, Michael Newdow, had also unsuccessfully challenged the U.S. Pledge of Allegiance for using the phrase “under God.”

RELATED: Texas State Board of Education Votes To Erase Hillary Clinton From History Curriculum

The left isn’t limited to erasing mottos and phrases. They also attempt to topple statutes representing pieces of American History.

For example, a left-wing group in New Orleans seeks to topple statues of Henry Clay and President Andrew Jackson, according to WVUE-DT.

And liberals will probably not be happy with the Cullman County school board’s decision either.

The Cullman County school district is taking a bold stance by proudly displaying the phrase “In God We Trust.”

The Deep State, Obama, and Destroying America


On April 22, national security adviser John Bolton said, “It’s Open Season for Foreign Influence Operations.  It’s not just Vladimir Putin’s Kremlin that is trying to influence our elections.  So are communist China and sharia-supremacist Iran.”


Vitriolic hatred of President Trump has sprung America into an Afghanistan-like “state of collapse, civil conflict, ethnic and disintegration locked in a self-perpetuating cycle that may be simply beyond outside resolution.”  An example is California versus America over energy.  California has chosen 100% renewable energy by 2045 when it’s proven that renewable energy doesn’t work on a scalable, affordable basis now or in the coming decades without immense fossil fuel backup and billions in taxpayer subsidies.



Thankfully, the United States embraced fracking, allowing the U.S. to overtake Russia and Saudi Arabia as the world’s number-one oil producer.  Meanwhile, California dooms its economy to poverty for its citizens with higher energy prices and depressed job growth.


This example illustrates that America’s democratic process is under attack, but it’s against each other and not from foreign interference.  Why?  Because if the Democrats take Congress, they will impeach President Trump and don’t have a plan to actually govern.  This is now Venezuelan-style socialism that only wants power.  These people – mostly unserious Democrats – “are vile, disgusting people.  There is no lie they won’t tell, no person they won’t smear to advance their agenda,” as evidenced by the Judge Brett Kavanaugh hearings.


They will return America back to the anemic growth it endured under Obama, and our enemies will only grow more emboldened.  America will go the way of California-type leaders like Tom Steyer and Gavin Newsom plus the lies coming from the #Resistance and #NeverTrump crowd.  Seemingly, this is exactly what the Deep State, the Democrats, establishment Republicans, and President Obama want.


According to Dr. Victor Davis Hanson, the Robert Mueller investigation is a mockery of justice full of Democratic partisans.  It was never intended to root out Russian collusion; instead, it is to take down the duly elected president, his family, and anyone associated with his past life.  Ask yourself, would this sham collusion narrative be happening if Hillary were in the White House?  Of course not.  Hanson is correct when he writes:


No President has ever faced impeachment for supposed wrongdoings alleged to have taken place before he took office.  With effort to go back years, if not decades, into Trump’s business and personal life, we are now in uncharted territory.


We will have a shooting, civil war on our hands if Trump is impeached over an investigation that has never proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump colluded with Russia.  The Democratic Party of Truman, Kennedy, FDR, Scoop Jackson, and Governor Pat Brown is gone.  Back then, Democrats wanted a thriving middle class, single-family homes, great schools to achieve upward mobility, and world-class infrastructure.  Now it’s spying on your political enemies through the unelected intelligence fiefdoms of the Deep State that Trump is trying to destroy.


Issues have come to light revealing the extent of Obama’s troubled presidency and former top officials reckless disregard for unlawfully spying on Trump and thousands of Americans that is destroying America.  Moreover, Obama’s glee at making a nuclear deal with Iran has unleashed Hell on the Middle East by creating a hegemonic Iran.  To illustrate, Politico did an extensive investigative report titled “The Secret Backstory of How Obama Let Hezbollah off the Hook,” because “[a]n ambitious U.S. task force targeting Hezbollah’s billion-dollar criminal enterprise ran headlong into the White House’s desire for a nuclear deal with Iran.”


Additionally, The Atlantic reported that Obama and former high-ranking intelligence officials knew that Iran and al-Qaeda were working together (Hazma, Osama bin Laden’s son, got married in Iran), and more damning was a 19-page document from the 2011 raid in Abbottabad, Pakistan that killed bin Laden, showing that “al-Qaeda and the Iranian Revolutionary Guards in Tehran touched on funding and arming the Sunni terror outfit so it could strike at American targets.”  Former CIA director Mike Pompeo “suggested” that this al-Qaeda-Iran pact was an “open secret during the Obama administration.”  Maybe these revelations are why the Deep State, Obama, Democrats, and negligent Republicans are trying to destroy Trump and the Rule of Law. It can certainly justify why Trump de-certified the Iran nuclear deal.


Unfortunately, “Obama did spy on Trump,” according to former CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson.  She was also illegally spied on by the Obama administration for writing unflattering stories.  Ms. Attkisson then credibly alleges, “It means U.S. intelligence agencies secretly surveilled at least a half dozen Trump associates.  And those are just the ones we know about.”


Former senior-level Obama officials Susan Rice, James Clapper, John Brennan, Sally Yates, and Samantha Power all admitted to reviewing or “unmasking” political figures.  Obama intel agencies were caught “secretly monitoring Congressional conversations while the Obama administration negotiated the Iran nuclear deal.”  Brennan and Clapper were both found lying to Congress in 2013 and 2014.  And Ms. Attkisson is still fighting the Justice Department in a federal lawsuit over hacking her CBS computer, causing CBS to publicly announce:


Correspondent Sharyl Attkisson’s computer was hacked by “an unauthorized, external, unknown party on multiple occasions,” confirming Attkisson’s previous revelation of the hacking.


Global intelligence firm Stratfor verified this claim in a September 21, 2010 email:


John Brennan [then an Obama Homeland Security adviser] is behind the witch hunts of investigative journalists learning information from inside the beltway sources.


This Deep State behavior grew when the intelligence community “expanded its authority in 2011 so it can monitor innocent U.S. citizens.”  Then, in January 2016, a top-secret inspector general report “found the NSA violated the very laws designed to prevent abuse.”  Also in 2016, Obama officials “searched through intelligence on U.S. citizens a record 30,000 times up from 9,500 in 2013″ during an election year.  Two weeks before the 2016 presidential election, NSA officials before a FISA court hearing overseeing government surveillance “confessed they’d violated privacy safeguards with much greater frequency” than previously admitted.  The presiding judge accused the NSA of “institutional lack of candor and a very serious Fourth Amendment issue.”


If it weren’t for Congressman Devin Nunes, chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence the public would be in the dark “about the unethical and often illegal behavior of the FBI, CIA, National Security Agency and Department of Justice” under the former administration.  Chairman Nunes also exposed the politicized leak of former NSC director Michael Flynn’s contact with the Russian ambassador in a January 2017 Washington Post column.  Nunes’s investigation further uncovered that Clinton’s campaign paid for an unverified dossier in 2016 from former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele that was used by Obama’s FBI and Justice Department to obtain a warrant from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) for illegal surveillance on former Trump campaign aide Carter Page.


What Brennan, Clapper, Rice, and others have done is “monetize access” to classified intelligence for political and private financial gain.  Obama intelligence chiefs – and now the Deep State – weaponized intelligence.  Past and present high-ranking intelligence officials believe that it was correct to revoke Brennan’s security clearances and that others should follow.  These Obama-era officials and current Deep State employees are pursuing political agendas via the anti-Trump media, with the U.S. Department of Justice standing back and doing nothing while America is destroying Trump, the office of the president and the freest, greatest country in the history of mankind.

Liberal Lunacy: Gillibrand Says She Never Meant To Abolish ICE When She Called To Abolish ICE

Liberal Lunacy: Gillibrand Says She Never Meant To Abolish ICE When She Called To Abolish ICE

Sen. Kristen Gillibrand, D-New York, speaks during a Commerce Committee hearing July 11 on Capitol Hill in Washington.Aaron P. Bernstein / Getty ImagesSen.

Now that the “abolish ICE” movement has about as much momentum as Vanilla Ice’s musical career at the moment, it’s difficult to remember that just a few short months ago liberals were discussing it seriously. Kirsten Gillibrand wants to pretend she was never one of them.

In an interview with the Glens Falls, New York, Post-Star, the Democrat junior senator from New York claimed her statement that “we need to abolish ICE,” uttered back in June, didn’t actually mean she wanted to abolish the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.

“Gillibrand, D-N.Y., attracted controversy when she was quoted in June as supporting the elimination of the agency,” the Post-Star reported in an article published Wednesday.

“The agency is responsible for catching criminals smuggling drugs, guns and people, but Gillibrand said that mission has been overshadowed by the Trump administration’s crackdown on people crossing the border — many of whom are fleeing gang violence and strife in their home countries.”

“Local law enforcement will not work with them. Local elected officials aren’t working with them,” Gillibrand told the newspaper’s editorial board.

And of course, what everyone got wrong is that abolishing ICE doesn’t really mean that at all.

“Gillibrand said commentators have taken her words out of context by just focusing on abolishing ICE and not on replacing it with a reformed agency,” the Post-Star reported.

“Give it a new name and a new directive,” she said.

Except that’s not what she said at all back in June.

“We need to abolish ICE,” Gillibrand said on Facebook.

“ICE has become a cruel deportation force. This agency has carried out the Trump administration’s ‘zero tolerance’ immigration policy, including separating children and parents. People are coming to the United States seeking asylum and a better life for their families — and President Trump is slamming the door on them.

“ICE is meant to provide security and enforcement. But it has morphed into something much more by conducting raids and deporting people who’ve lived in and contributed to this country for many years.

“Congress needs to abolish ICE, and we need to start over, separating the criminal justice and immigration roles. Together, we can build a better system that is humane, just and recognizes that immigration adds to America’s strength and security.”

That’s not giving it a “new name.” You could say that “separating the criminal justice and immigration roles” is giving it “a new directive,” except I’m not even sure what that would entail or what it would do.

The great irony here is that Gillibrand was originally an immigration hawk, which is part of what prompted her shift far to the left; she is, after all, one of that select group of Democrats who can’t be mentioned without the words “potential 2020 presidential candidate” being uttered.

And now that the “abolish ICE” thing is no longer a thing, Gillibrand has to back away as quickly as possible and assure everyone she didn’t really mean what she said and everyone took it out of context. That sort of opportunism shouldn’t come as a surprise to anybody. It should make for an interesting 2020 campaign cycle, however.

JUST DID IT: Mississippi Law Enforcement Agency Drops Nike Over Kaepernick Ad


JUST DID IT: Mississippi Law Enforcement Agency Drops Nike Over Kaepernick Ad


by Aleister
September 15, 2018

This is perfectly understandable. Why would any law enforcement agency want to be associated with Colin Kaepernick? He once wore socks (see the image above) which depicted police officers as pigs.

Nike can do what it wants, but that doesn’t mean people have to embrace it. They knew this was going to be a controversial decision and they can deal with the fallout.

The Hill reports:

Mississippi law enforcement agency says it will no longer buy Nike brand following Kaepernick ad

Mississippi’s public safety commissioner said on Saturday that it will no longer buy products from Nike in response to its new “Just Do It” ad campaign featuring former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

“As commissioner of the Department of Public Safety, I will not support vendors who do not support law enforcement and our military,” Commissioner Marshall Fisher told The Associated Press.

Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant (R) also expressed support for the move in a statement to the AP.

“I support the commissioner’s decision,” Bryant said, adding that the commissioner has the right to choose from which brands his department buys. “[A]nd it’s not going to be a company that pays an individual who has slandered our fine men and women in law enforcement,” he said.

The ACLU attacked the decision, naturally:

Fisher has drawn criticism for the move, however, with the Mississippi chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union slamming the decision in a statement on Twitter.

“These are the people that are representing all Mississippians,” the ACLU chapter’s Twitter account wrote. “These are the people that are creating policy that impact all of our lives. These are the people that took an oath to uphold the Constitution. Yet they refuse to understand what equality, justice, and accountability means. This petty decision is just another show of racism, discrimination, stupidity, inequity, and divisive politics.”

So the police are being divisive but not the NFL players who kneel during our national anthem? Please.
