If people needed proof that Democrat Angie Craig is a socialist, this article provides that proof. Craig was picked by Nancy Pelosi for a committee looking into income and wealth inequality. Rep. Jim Himes will chair the committee. Other Democrats serving on the committee are AOC, Pramila Jayapal, Marcy Kaptur, Gwen Moore, Vicente González, Angie Craig and Sara Jacobs. It isn't known at this point if Republicans will appoint members to serve on the committee. I'd recommend that Republicans ignore this committee.
During the announcement of the new committee, Ms. Pelosi said "The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself." According to Ms. Pelosi, the statement is "a comment from President Franklin Roosevelt when he established the Temporary National Economic Committee in 1938." That's anti-American because it's anti-Constitution.
The Constitution is unique in that it limits government. The Ninth Amendment states "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." The Tenth Amendment states "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
It's frightening that Pelosi thinks that the democracy is weakened when the individual is strengthened. The Constitution repeatedly states that the individual reigns supreme. Here's the entire frightening press conference:
As I said before, Jim Himes was named the chairman of the committee. He spoke about the district he represents in Connecticut. He said it's possible to go from well-manicured lawns on sprawling estates to tiny apartments of single moms. Socialism doesn't provide for a middle class. It just provides for serfs and all-powerful oligarchs.
David Ignatius wrote this:
“Rust Belt districts harmed by plant shutdowns, urban districts ravaged by racial injustice, rural districts where farmers are suffering from drought, and districts across the country where young people are struggling with debt, low-wage jobs and an uncertain future,” Ignatius wrote as a list of possible examples.
No economy lifts all people. That's never happened anywhere at any time. Milton Friedman schools the Democrats on the strengths of capitalism:
Pelosi's blueprint relies on redistribution of wealth. It doesn't focus on economic growth. Jack Kemp once famously said that a rising tide lifts all ships. Before him, JFK said the same thing. If this newly-formed committee had a similar slogan, it would be 'A slow-growing economy keeps the rich happy and everyone else miserable.' That's what we had for 8 years of Obama and 4 years of George W. Bush. That's what we're heading for with Pelosi's blueprint.
That's why Republicans should refuse to participate in the committee. Nothing good will come of it. Meanwhile, Angie Craig is part of a committee of socialists aiming at redistributing other people's wealth.
If its purpose is to redistribute wealth, it's a socialist committee. With Democrats, the only difference between their moderates and the AOC wing is whether they'll proudly proclaim that they're socialists or if they'll hide their love of redistributionism.
It isn't a secret that Tim Walz is running for a third straight term as Minnesota's governor. What's been a secret up until this tweet appeared is that Tim Walz's Deparment of Human Services is a hostile work environment. According to the tweet, "Tim Walz is utterly dishonest, malicious at heart & has dangerous intent. The 'folksy' public image Tim Walz portrays is not even remotely what he is like to work with. Despite repeated warnings about fraud, Tim Walz opted to ratchet up the retaliation and silence any ethical voices. Besides fraud, Tim Walz has allowed agencies to spend thousands, possibly millions on retaliation efforts to scare, threaten, and silence concerned employees." The tweet continues "Worst of all, despite unprecedented funds awarded or appropriated to DHS, our agency is now a hollow shell of incompetency as our programs have been destroyed & most ethical staff have left." Don't think that this much fraud happ...
The Walz administration is getting nationwide attention, though it isn't the type of attention political administrations typically seek. Sohrab Ahmari didn't bury the lede when he wrote "There is no whitewashing this scandal: segments of the Somali community in Minneapolis have been engaged in systematic welfare fraud, and used some of the proceeds to fund the Al-Shabaab terror group in their homeland." Imagine the Outrage If... Imagine the outrage if "Hassan and her alleged co-conspirators recruited Somali parents’ children into autism therapy services — even if a child did not have an autism diagnosis — facilitating fraudulent claims. Parents reportedly received monthly kickbacks ranging from $300 to $1,500 per child, with some allegedly threatening to go to other fraud networks unless their rates were increased." It doesn't end there: Sure enough, both the number of autism providers and the rate of diagnosis have ballooned, with Somali activists insi...
A frequent reader of this blog sent me a picture showing gubernatorial candidate Jeff Johnson surrounded by Somalis following a November 2017 St. Cloud City Council meeting. This is that picture: Recently, a different frequent reader of this blog sent me a letter highlighting Jaylani Hussein's paranoia of white people: We are asking every member of our community to stay vigilant. If you see threats, harassment, or hateful content online, especially targeting Somali or Muslim communities in Minnesota, please report them immediately to CAIR-Minnesota and local authorities. We are tracking these developments closely. What’s happening: Our community is under coordinated attack In the last 48 hours, former President Donald Trump announced that he will immediately end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Somali immigrants in Minnesota, a move that could tear families apart and send people back to a country they haven’t seen in decades. He justified this dangerous decision using false, I...
