   Wow!
   I was actually about to research this because Babylon Bee has an article on this exact topic that had my head spinning.

     It’s mind boggling. I haven’t had time to assemble a post about the push for post-birth abortion, but that is what a few Democrats have basically said in recent weeks. There are a few states (VT, NM) that are drafting extreme pro-choice legislation in addition to what NY has already done.

     When the Babylon Bee started a few years ago, I thought it was brilliant. I still do. But what is unreal is how it is getting more and more difficult to separate truth from snark regarding the Democrat Party because they have taken on so many insane positions over the past year.

     It is going to be very interesting to see what their platform is for 2020. They already removed God from their platform the last time around. This time? I can’t even imagine what all their intersectionality is going to demand.

     The excuses the Democrats are making for a grown woman are embarrassing. Omar must have been laughing it up with her friends last night because she has completely played the Democrat leadership. Pelosi and the like are scared to death of these new Reps who are Far Left women of color and/or minorities. If I was a Democrat Representative from a purple district who campaigned on actual middle-of-the-road issues and getting things done for the average American, I would be sincerely concerned about what I had gotten myself into.

     Ilhan Omar knows EXACTLY what she is doing. She has been in this country something like 27 years. She’s almost 40, I believe. That they are making excuses for her is simply unbelievable. That’s why I started with her tweet from 2012. This is not some new accident of misspeaking because she’s some starry-eyed Freshman Rep who doesn’t know better. Give me a break. Everything she does is intentional.

     I’m really not that stupid and I hope enough of America is smart enough to see through this as well.

   This entire piece is really good.

   Here’s a snippet:

   Before such “arguments”—they are really assertions of victimhood to intimidate critics—Nancy Pelosi shudders. She’s supposed to be this Iron Lady, returned to power after exile, ruling her caucus with a vise-like grip. But her hands are covered in Palmolive. She’s spent the first weeks of Congress doing little more than responding to the various insanities of Omar and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan. Pelosi will condemn Omar one minute, before appearing with her on the cover of Rolling Stone the next. She’s lost a step. She can’t hold her caucus together when Republicans call for motions to recommit on the House floor. The policies her candidates ran on in swing districts vanished under the solar-powered glare of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal. We’re not talking about covering preexisting conditions, we’re pledging to rid the world once and for all of the scourges of air travel and cow flatulence. Pelosi’s trigger-happy committee chairmen, firing their subpoena cannons into the air at random, look like goofballs desperate to impeach President Trump.

   Whatever control Pelosi had over her majority vanished the second she delayed the resolution condemning Omar. It then became undeniable that AOC & co. is in charge. Identity politics has rendered the Democrats incapable of criticizing anti-Semitism so long as it dons the wardrobe of intersectionality. It’s nothing short of incredible that three women from three different cities—New York, Detroit, and Minneapolis—can run roughshod over 233 other House Democrats with a little help from social media, woke 24-year-olds in the digital press, and the Congressional Black Caucus. If you’re Ocasio-Cortez right now, you must love life from the comfort of the test kitchen in your luxury D.C. apartment building. What’s next for this trio—two of whom are members of the Democratic Socialists of America, two of whom support the Boycott Divestment Sanctions movement that seeks Israel’s destruction, and all three of whom combine radical anti-American politics with radical self-regard—finding a candidate to primary pro-Israel Democrat Eliot Engel, chairman of the House Foreign Relations Committee on which Omar sits? Challenging Chuck Schumer in the Democratic primary when he’s up for reelection in 2022?

   This post is very interesting to revisit given what has transpired in the past six years, especially regarding anti-semitism and related topics.
