I’ll continue adding in the next few days as I find things.




NEVER EVER FORGET THIS PICTURE AND WHAT IT MEANS:

NOTE THIS WELL:

This woman even refused to applaud the @ICEgov agent who saved more than 300 girls and woman from coyote smugglers. @AOC is a Marxist who couldn’t care less about other women. pic.twitter.com/agO1asVtWY

— Sebastian Gorka DrG (@SebGorka) February 6, 2019

I applaud the few Democrats willing to applaud, um, unmitigatedly good economic news. #SOTU

— Kimberley Strassel (@KimStrassel) February 6, 2019




AOC's guest for the #StateOfTheUnion is Ana Maria Archila, who screamed at Jeff Flake in an elevator before the Kavanaugh vote.@AOC has not said a single word about about Lt. Gov. Fairfax, whose accusations are almost exactly the same as Kavanaugh: totally uncorroborated pic.twitter.com/qfVRZuwpTT

— Caleb Hull (@CalebJHull) February 6, 2019

Anyone else wondering if Pelosi's giant cards are in fact notes about when is, or is not, allowed to stand and clap? #SOTU

— Kimberley Strassel (@KimStrassel) February 6, 2019

President Donald Trump highlights the all-time low unemployment rate for Americans with disabilities.

Democrats refuse to stand or clap. pic.twitter.com/mPLOwVxghW

— Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) February 6, 2019

Democrats refuse to stand up when President Trump says he wants America to choose greatness. Okay. #SOTU

— Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) February 6, 2019

Don't get me wrong, I'm all into the strong-woman applause going on, but it has to be said that it is a little sad that the first thing House female Democrats really chose to celebrate here tonight was .. . themselves.

— Kimberley Strassel (@KimStrassel) February 6, 2019

The biggest AOC death stare of the night was when Trump recognized an immigrant ICE agent who leads a task force to break up sex trafficking.

Oh man.

AOC was glaring at the ICE agent in the gallery.

Holy smokes

— Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) February 6, 2019

“Wealthy politicians and donors push for open borders while living their lives behind walls and gates and guards,” @realDonaldTrump so true #SOTU

— Sara A. Carter (@SaraCarterDC) February 6, 2019

Wow. That is quite the message. Democrats, including all those women in white, sit motionless at the call to restrict late-term abortion–which polls show 70-80% of public disapproves. Who is out of step with the country? #SOTU

— Kimberley Strassel (@KimStrassel) February 6, 2019

This is the greatest feat of mental & political jiujitsu @realDonaldTrump has EVER performed.

He graciously recognizes that under his Presidency we have a more women in Congress than ever.

And they start chanting HIS campaign chant: “USA, USA!”@TheDemocrats owned.
Literally. pic.twitter.com/3uW5R47p7a

— Sebastian Gorka DrG (@SebGorka) February 6, 2019

OMG! Did Democrats just sit through the socialism question? Really? They are on public record for overthrowing capitalism as the American system? I hope someone is taking names and notes…. #SOTU

— Kimberley Strassel (@KimStrassel) February 6, 2019

They stand and high-five each other when it’s about them prospering in the workplace. But since they see a child as getting in the way of that, this is how they respond when they’re told they can’t murder children. #SOTU pic.twitter.com/PrhjrdWmEL

NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS IN MY LFE

Holocaust & Tree of Life Synagogue shooting survivor Judah Samet recognized by Trump. It’s his 81st B-day.

The entire chamber – R & D – sang him a hearty happy birthday. The little old man yells “THANK YOU!”

A BEAUTIFUL AMERICAN MOMENT

— Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) February 6, 2019

Trump calls for a law prohibiting killing a baby when the baby can “feel pain.”

“All children – born and unborn- are made in the holy image of God,” Trump said.

I’ve been in the gallery all night.

NEVER was there a more solid block of Dems frowning, not clapping, looking angry

— Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) February 6, 2019

Private Herman Zeitchick helped save Joshua from Hitler’s death-camp of Dachua and @realDonaldTrump recognized both men tonight in his address to America.

Any person – journalist or not – who calls him a racist, bigot, or Anti-Semite is simply EVIL. pic.twitter.com/ybCGfqZzGn

— Sebastian Gorka DrG (@SebGorka) February 6, 2019

Every woman in white tonight refused to protect children who can’t defend themselves.

This is the Democratic Party!

— Ben Ferguson (@benfergusonshow) February 6, 2019

Walls don’t work, except at:

Bezos’ mansion

Pelosi’s mansion

Hillary’s mansion

Obama’s mansion

Waters’ mansion

Feinstein’s mansion

Oprah’s mansion

Zuckerberg’s mansion

Madonna's mansion

🤔#SOTU

— Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) February 6, 2019

This picture is why we worked tirelessly to elect @realDonaldTrump pic.twitter.com/3bpdRmb1DS

— Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) February 6, 2019

As the first act in a two act set of SOTUs to this Congress with its new Democratic Majority in the House, @realDonaldTrump succeeded quite well in setting the table for a speech next year about the joint accomplishments he proposed in 2019, or the D obstructionism blocking them.

What's up w/ Sen Mazie Hirono? She sat on her rear instead of cheering a little girl fighting cancer or supporting the effort to fight cancer. Hawaii is a beautiful state w/ great ppl. They can surely find someone who finds delight in a child kicking cancer!

— Ambassador Mike Huckabee (@GovMikeHuckabee) February 6, 2019

Stopping late term abortions where the child can feel pain. They sat down real quick. pic.twitter.com/yR7EeHInRw

— Dave Rubin (@RubinReport) February 6, 2019

Killing late term unborn human beings is the new partisan divide?

— Tom Fitton (@TomFitton) February 6, 2019

Trump is terrible at being an anti-Semite.

— Dave Rubin (@RubinReport) February 6, 2019

🔥🔥🔥 https://t.co/NAVE5OJF0A

— Dave Rubin (@RubinReport) February 6, 2019

This is a Congresswoman responding to a high school student, BTW. She’s telling him to be afraid of her. Seriously.

Hi @TheCJPearson, I'm not "the woman sitting next to her". @AOC and I — and millions like us — are the future of this country. And you're right to be afraid of us.

But you should learn my name. https://t.co/frL8ikNDcV

— Nydia M Velázquez (@ReElectNydia) February 6, 2019

And here we have a congresswoman telling a teen that he should fear her.

Sorry @ReElectNydia, this one’s a bit too late to abort I’m afraid. https://t.co/TwM7rdKLWV

— Lauren Chen (@TheLaurenChen) February 6, 2019

Ocasio-Cortez on Trump's speech: "I think that the president was unprepared. I don't think that he did his homework"

76% of Americans approved of Trump's speech

AOC repeatedly refused to stand and applaud, including when Trump called for a crackdown on child sex trafficking pic.twitter.com/Cd1lGdSpvN

— Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) February 6, 2019

Newspapers used to reserve their opinions for the editorial pages. Now they put them in the lead headline. pic.twitter.com/BVpRVI7HVo

— Brit Hume (@brithume) February 6, 2019

You know, it's not really a "fact check" if what he said was correct and you're just making some partisan point. https://t.co/h5Fgxygfvv

How fitting they cheered for themselves and nothing else.

Modern feminism in a nutshell. https://t.co/Nlv1o5hAi2

— Ashe Short (@AsheSchow) February 6, 2019

I had a similar line of thinking last night. I’m not going to celebrate women whose views are the complete opposite of my own.

I guess I'm supposed to well up with tears of pride because a bunch of women were elected to Congress. Sorry, no. Most of the new congresswomen are self-obsessed, infanticidal, socialist radicals. The fact that they happen to have two X chromosomes is no consolation.

— Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) February 6, 2019

I think I’m going to have to start an ongoing post of just AOC stuff.

WORDS. FAIL.

Why should I be “spirited and warm” for this embarrassment of a #SOTU?

Tonight was an unsettling night for our country. The president failed to offer any plan, any vision at all, for our future.

We’re flying without a pilot. And I‘m not here to comfort anyone about that fact. https://t.co/7bu3QXFMnC

— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) February 6, 2019

#Democrats define #narcissism pic.twitter.com/TfypZJEWVx

— James Woods (@RealJamesWoods) February 7, 2019

This is the same woman who asked for leniency for a man convicted of attempting to join ISIS.

A little prep might have helped with this skit… https://t.co/Pfhvn40WIR

— James Woods (@RealJamesWoods) February 7, 2019

This is the best comment under there.

My goodness. There are actual people with actual lives and actual issues counting on this woman to represent them in Congress.

    For that final tweet, by Ocasio-Cortez, I believe the proper response is: “Nice try.”

    The truth is that Trump did offer a vision–and a choice.

    She’s trying to conceal that vision and that choice from her Twitter followers who haven’t heard Trump’s speech.

      There is a part of the country who will never hear anything Trump has to say. People joke about it, but Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a real thing. Trump could single-handedly rescue ten puppies from a burning building and they would STILL find fault with him for carrying them the wrong way or whatever.

      He did offer a very clear vision and a choice. The problem is that for people like Ocasio-Cortez who despise our country and feel compelled to make it over into their socialist vision of utopia, they can’t even understand what he is saying.

      I’d like to know what percentage of her Twitter followers are real, which are fake, and which are people following her for eye-rolling content/humor.
