Here in the People’s Republic of California, particularly in Venice, California, a beach community that has become a warm-weather resort for the homeless, addicts, and the mentally ill, we find a 29-year-old bartender from the Bronx (New York), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez introducing the old communist Bernie Sanders and disparaging America.
And Bernie went on to say …
Of course, Cuba, Venezuela, China, Russia, and even North Korea come to mind … where the socialist/communist leadership is absolutely corrupt, and people who disagree with the political elite are killed in the name of the people.
How can this happen in America?
The Democrat Party has been infiltrated by socialists and communists who found that they could buy politicians to say what they want – and the media who gladly parroted the party line as if they were the public relations department of the Democratic National Committee.
For many, “Che Chic” has replaced commonsense. People whose only knowledge of Che Guevara, a murderous rapist, is the fashionable posters on the wall, the tee-shirts worn by the ignorant, and the slogans that are devoid of the horrible reality of mass murder and the enslavement of people.
Yes, the Democrats have radically changed. Even to the point of electing a Manchurian Candidate such as Barack Hussein Obama to the Presidency of the United States.
From unprecedented corruption and scandal, the Obama Administration and their cadre of Democrat politicians and mainstream media sycophants did change America. Perhaps the only promise Barack Obama intended to keep. Here is an individual who presided over the radical transformation of our functioning healthcare system with a program named the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. An Act that was supposed to control medical expenses insures those who were unable or could not afford coverage and lower the insurance costs of obtaining quality care. Of course, premiums skyrocketed, deductibles skyrocketed, and the quality of care declined proportionally to people added to the system without a corresponding increase in physicians, facilities, diagnostic devices, and support personnel. Of course, the government expanded Medicaid, the government-subsidized welfare program where those uninsured or underinsured individuals found a home.
All capped by Obama’s big lie on June 6, 2009: "If you like the plan you have, you can keep it. If you like the doctor you have, you can keep your doctor, too. The only change you’ll see are falling costs as our reforms take hold." What was unsaid is that the plan was to destroy the healthcare system, eliminate insurance companies except as facilitators, and make the government the sole determinant of your healthcare under a “single-payer system.” The very system being proposed by the Democrats from their 2020 election campaigns.
Then there was the subversion and politicization of the main government agencies, among them: the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of State, the Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Education, the Environmental Protection Agency and so on.
And, we all saw the rapid deterioration of our economy, which the media spun as “the new normal.”
Bottom line…
We cannot continue moving left into socialism. The Democrat Party, the anti-civil-rights party of racism, segregation, and Jim Crow must be reformed if America is to grow and maintain its status as an exceptional nation. It should surprise nobody that the refugee flow is always towards America. That “hateful” dysfunctional place that people are willing to risk their lives to enter.
If we continue allowing Democrats to run the show, we are screwed.

California CEO and Seven Others Charged in Multi-Million Dollar Conduit Campaign Contribution Case
Earlier today, an indictment was unsealed against the CEO of an online payment processing company, and seven others, charging them with conspiring to make and conceal conduit and excessive campaign contributions, and related offenses, during the U.S. presidential election in 2016 and thereafter.
A federal grand jury in the District of Columbia indicted Ahmad “Andy” Khawaja, 48, of Los Angeles, California, on Nov. 7, 2019, along with George Nader, Roy Boulos, Rudy Dekermenjian, Mohammad “Moe” Diab, Rani El-Saadi, Stevan Hill and Thayne Whipple. The 53 count indictment charges Khawaja with two counts of conspiracy, three counts of making conduit contributions, three counts of causing excessive contributions, 13 counts of making false statements, 13 counts of causing false records to be filed, and one count of obstruction of a federal grand jury investigation. Nader is charged with conspiring with Khawaja to make conduit campaign contributions, and related offenses. Boulos, Dekermenjian, Diab, El-Saadi, Hill, and Whipple are charged with conspiring with Khawaja and each other to make conduit campaign contributions and conceal excessive contributions, and related offenses. <Source>
Among the donation recipients we find: Hillary Clinton, Adam Schiff, Cory Booker, Amy Klobuchar, and many of the major Democrat organizations and campaigns. <Source>
It should be noted that George Nader is already in custody. “George Nader, who was a key witness in special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe, is charged in a new federal indictment with transporting a 14-year-old boy for sex, child pornography and carrying obscene materials. Mueller’s report says Nader helped arrange a January 2017 meeting between Erik Prince and the head of Russia’s sovereign wealth fund, who reported directly to Vladimir Putin, as part of a purported Russian effort to build a link with President Donald Trump’s new administration. <Source>
I can just imagine what the rats will say to save their sorry Democrat asses.
