AOC Meltdown: Power-Mad Commie Has Online Tantrum After Pelosi Caves on Passing Clean Senate Border Crisis Bill

The revolution may not be televised, but its tantrums will be tweeted. Communist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) went off on Twitter Thursday, demanding the Senate cancel its 4th of July recess and stay in D.C. to pass an emergency border crisis funding bill that she approves of–and then wailing when Speaker Pelosi (D-CA) caved and agreed to pass the (84-8 bipartisan) Senate bill without input from AOC and her band of House revolutionaries.

Mitch McConnell killed the House border $ over “poison pill riders.”

What are the “poison pills” he’s talking about?

Protections for kids & punishment for inhumane facility co’s.

The GOP is heightening children‘s pain for political gain. It’s horrifying.https://t.co/TBoPu3bW1d

His Senate bill is a militarization bill. McConnell killed the House Bill & dropped this one right before recess to force passage.

Well, too bad. This is our job. Cancel vacation, fly the Senate in. Pass a clean humanitarian bill & stop trying to squeeze crises for more pain.

— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) June 27, 2019

This President will not lift a finger to save these kids.

It is well within his power, but he & Mitch McConnell would rather cast blame than do anything.

They need to get on board w/ a clean humanitarian bill. We can’t write no-strings blank checks to abusive facilities.

— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) June 27, 2019

In meeting I asked “Why can the president take money from other agencies to build his little wall, but can’t move money to get kids toothpaste?”

It’s bc his “nat’l emergency” is ONLY to build his wall.

But he won’t declare an emergency to save these kids & get them help.

— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) June 27, 2019

Under no circumstances should the House vote for a McConnell-only bill w/ no negotiation with Democrats. Hell no.

That’s an abdication of power we should refuse to accept. They will keep hurting kids if we do.

— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) June 27, 2019

0 negotiation with the House. We offered crucial amendments to protect children and families – none are even being considered.

A minority is different than a majority. And while the Senate has to deal with its lack of power there, a House majority should have a seat @ the table.

— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) June 27, 2019

We have time. We can stay in town. We can at LEAST add some amendments to this Senate bill. But to pass it completely unamended with no House input? That seems a bridge too far.

— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) June 27, 2019

This Senate Bill will have us write a $4.6 Billion blank check (incl military $) for the border w NO accountability – just a verbal pinky promise.

Trump is not to be trusted with protecting our immigrants. Why must that even be stated? We need hard lines of protection, in ink. https://t.co/xFci23pFo6

Human Rights Organization Calls For Congress to Investigate Genocide in China

WASHINGTON—A leading human rights organization is calling on Congress to investigate whether the forced organ harvesting practiced in China constitutes genocide.

“The systematic, large-scale forced organ harvesting of prisoners of conscience in China has to be addressed. A genocide is not an ‘internal affair’ of a single country, but a ‘global affair’ of humankind,” said Dr. Torsten Trey, Executive Director of Doctors Against Forced Organ Harvesting (DAFOH), in justifying the call for a congressional investigation.

The issue of organ harvesting in China has been given prominence by the final judgment issued by the Independent Tribunal into Forced Organ Harvesting from Prisoners of Conscience in China on June 17 in London. Dozens of media outlets around the world reported on this judgment.

The Tribunal was formed to address a gap in the ongoing investigations into organ harvesting in China.

“Parliamentary hearings in several countries have heard evidence on the issue, and some have passed legislation in response,” says the Tribunal’s website. “To date however, there has been no investigation into to what if any crimes have been committed by such forced organ harvesting by the Chinese State or state-approved bodies.”

The Tribunal found that the killing of detainees in China for their organs has continued since it was first revealed by witnesses from China in 2006.

The tribunal’s findings recognize elements of genocide are “clearly established” in the practice of organ harvesting in China and explicitly invites further investigation concerning genocide.

“DAFOH echoes the Tribunal’s call for further investigations and urges Congress to launch formal proceedings to determine the extent of the practice and the degree to which it constitutes genocide,” reads a DAFOH news release.

North Korea Threatens US After State Department Exposes Sex Trafficking Details

North Korea threatened the U.S. with military action Thursday after the State Department exposed details of sex trafficking in the country.

The North Korean foreign ministry called a June U.S. State Department report slanderous.

“If anyone dares to trample over our sovereignty and the right to existence, we will never hesitate to pull a muscle-flexing trigger in order to defend ourselves,” the foreign ministry said, according to U.S. News & World Report.

The State Department’s human trafficking report released on June 20 ranks North Korea as a “Tier 3” country along with China and various African and Middle Eastern nations. Tier 3 is the category the State Department says warrants the most concern.

“The Government of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK or North Korea) does not fully meet the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking and is not making significant efforts to do so,” the trafficking report said.

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo recommended Sunday that North Korea remain under 80% sanctions — a decision not highly regarded by Kim Jong Un, the North Korean dictator, U.S. News reported.

The State Department also alleges government officials are part of sex exploitation in the dictatorship.

“North Koreans, including potential trafficking victims, forcibly returned by Chinese authorities were sent to interrogation centers, where the government subjected them to forced labor, torture, forced abortions, and sexual abuse by prison guards and were potentially sent on to prison camps,” the trafficking report details.

“Many of the North Korean refugees and asylum seekers living illegally in China are particularly vulnerable to trafficking, and traffickers lure, drug, detain, or kidnap some North Korean women upon their arrival,” the State Department adds.

The report details a web of sex abuse that bounces between the two Communist nations and often results in forced marriages and prostitution among other abuses.

The oppressive nation also received failing scores in a 2018 State Department religious liberty report. Almost all religious expression is prohibited in the nation, according to the report.

U.S. President Donald Trump headed to the G20 summit Thursday in Japan and will be reportedly speaking with North Korea, Iran and China, among others.

Police Labor Union: De Blasio’s Public Remarks On Race Contributed To Assassination Of Three Officers

NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio has come under fire throughout the years from NYPD officers.

The Police Benevolent Association (PBA) told the Daily Caller News Foundation that de Blasio’s rhetoric about police is partially to blame for the assassination of three of their officers.

The New York City PBA live-tweeted during the 2020 Democratic debate and called out de Blasio for his “hypocritical” comments.

A police labor union called New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s comments during the first 2020 Democratic debate Wednesday evening “hypocritical” and said his rhetoric has sparked hate against police officers.

De Blasio stirred tensions with comments Wednesday night that he tells his black son to be wary when interacting with officers because of racial discrimination and violence.

“His public remarks about his son only inflamed the false narrative being pushed by race baiters that was based upon lies,” a Police Benevolent Association (PBA) spokesperson told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “We believe that his contribution to the false narrative resulted in the assassination of three of our members, Police Officer[s] [Wenjian] Liu, [Raphael] Ramos and [Miosotis] Familia.”

“They were all murdered by violent people who bought into the false rhetoric that police are intentionally killing black men for no reason. They were executed because they wore the blue uniform of a NYC police officer,” the spokesperson continued.

History repeats itself. @BilldeBlasio said he wants to bring cops and community together. Ask any cop on the street what impact his divisive rhetoric has had #DemDebate https://t.co/taSPVfDVKB

— NYC PBA (@NYCPBA) June 27, 2019

Racial tensions in America, particularly with police, has been a hot topic with the 2020 Democratic presidential candidates. The politicians who make demonizing comments about the police are “not helpful at all,” Dennis Slocumb, director of Legislative Affairs for the International Union of Police Associations (IUPA), told the DCNF.

“I can just speak in generalities that politicians who make political hay demeaning to the police … are just not helpful at all,” Slocumb told the DCNF. “I think it emboldens people to resist arrest. These guys [cops] aren’t driving down the streets saying, ‘Let’s go pick a fight with somebody.'”

The New York City PBA live-tweeted the debate, calling out de Blasio every time he commented on something it called “hypocritical.”

Raising wages and putting money back into the working people’s hands? You have refused to give @NYCPBA members #FairMarketPay, cut our health benefits. You gave yourself a 15% raise. More hypocritical statements from @BilldeBlasio #DemDebate

— NYC PBA (@NYCPBA) June 27, 2019

“He has offered NYC police officers who earn on average 30% less than other law enforcement personnel with whom we work patch to patch (State Troopers, Port Authority Police, [Metropolitan Transport Authority] police and others) raises that are less than inflation and he wants to reduce health benefits at the same time,” the PBA spokesperson said to the DCNF. “He has done the same to other NYC employees as well.”

De Blasio and Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren were the only two candidates to raise their hands when asked if they support government health care. This sparked anger from the PBA as well. Government health care would mean “that he [de Blasio] will be able to mistreat federal employees the same way he has mistreated city employees,” the spokesperson told the DCNF.

Will US Elites Give Détente With Russia A Chance?

he Trump-Putin meeting in Japan is crucial for both leaders… and for the world…

Despite determined attempts in Washington to sabotage such a “summit,” as I reported previously, President Trump and Russian President Putin are still scheduled to meet at the G-20 gathering in Japan this week. Iran will be at the top of their agenda. The Trump administration seems determined to wage cold, possibly even hot, war against the Islamic Republic, while for Moscow, as emphasized by the Kremlin’s national security adviser, Nikolai Patrushev, on June 25, “Iran has been and will be an ally and partner of ours.”

Indeed, the importance of Iran (along with China) to Russia can hardly be overstated. Among other reasons, as the West’s military alliance encroaches ever more along Russia’s western borders, Iran is a large, vital non-NATO neighbor. Still more, Teheran has done nothing to incite Russia’s own millions of Muslim citizens against Moscow. Well before Trump, powerful forces in Washington have long sought to project Iran as America’s primary enemy in the Middle East, but for Moscow it is a necessary “ally and partner.”

In normal political circumstances, Trump and Putin could probably diminish any potential US-Russian conflict over Iran—and the one still brewing in Syria as well. But both leaders come to the summit with related political problems at home. For Trump, they are the unproven but persistent allegations of “Russiagate.” For Putin, they are economic.

As I have also previously explained, while there was fairly traditional “meddling,” there was no “Russian attack” on the 2016 American presidential election. But for many mainstream American commentators, including the editorial page editor of The Washington Post, it is an “obvious truth” and likely to happen again in 2020, adding ominously that Trump is still “cozying up to the chief perpetrator, Russian President Vladimir Putin.” A New York Times columnist goes further, insisting that Russia “helped to throw the election” to Trump. Again, there is no evidence whatsoever for these allegations. Also consider the ongoing assault on Attorney General William Barr, whose current investigation into the origins of “Russiagate” threatens to conclude that the scandal originated not with Russia but with US intelligence agencies under President Obama, in particular with the CIA under John Brennan.

We should therefore not be surprised, despite possible positive national security results of the Trump-Putin summit in Japan, if the US president is again widely accused of “treason,” as he so shamefully was following his meeting with Putin in Helsinki in July 2018, and as I protested at that time. Even the Times’ once-dignified columnist pages thundered, “Trump, Treasonous Traitor” and “Putin’s Lackey,” while senior US senators, Democrat and Republican alike, did much the same.

Putin’s domestic problem, on the other hand, is economic and social. Russia’s annual growth rate is barely 2 percent, real wages are declining, popular protests against officialdom’s historically endemic corruption are on the rise, and Putin’s approval rating, while still high, is declining. A public dispute between two of Putin’s advisers has broken out over what to do. On the one side is Alexei Kudrin, the leading monetarist who has long warned against using billions of dollars in Russia’s “rainy day” funds to spur investment and economic growth. On the other is Sergei Glaziev, a kind of Keynesian, FDR New Dealer who has no less persistently urged investing these funds in new domestic infrastructure that would, he argues, result in rapid economic growth.

During his nearly 20 years as Kremlin leader, Putin has generally sided with the “rainy day” monetarists. But on June 20, during his annual television call-in event, he suddenly, and elliptically, remarked that even Kudrin “has been drifting towards” Glaziev. Not surprisingly, many Russian commentators think this means that Putin himself is now “leaning toward Glaziev.” If so, it is another reason why Putin has no interest in waging cold war with the United States—why he wants instead, indeed even needs, a historic, long-term détente.

It seems unlikely that President Trump or any of the advisers currently around him understand this important struggle—and it is a struggle—unfolding in the Russian policy elite. But if Trump wants a major détente (or “cooperation,” as he has termed it) with Russia, anyone who cares about international security and about the well-being of the Russian people should support him in this pursuit. Especially at this moment, when we are told by the director of the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research that “the risks of the use of nuclear weapons…are higher now than at any time since World War Two.”
