Firing Line PBS Margaret Hoover: Alexandria Ocasio Cortez Steps in It, Called Israel “Occupiers of Palestinian Land” & Says Capitalism Will “Not Always Exist” (VIDEO)
SO THE FUTURE OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY IS A CLUELESS SOCIALIST?
This weekend Alexandria Ocasio Cortez held an interview with Firing Line and Margaret Hoover on PBS. Let’s say it did not go very well. As reported st the Daily Caller, the 27-year old new found darling of the LEFT called Israel occupiers of Palestinian land. When pushed on the comment, Ocasio Cortez mumbled and struggled to give an answer then ultimately admitted that she does not know anything on the issue of what she was talking about. Imagine that? She is a novice who has been thrust into the limelight because the Democrats have nothing. She then, sans a clue, went on to say that that unemployment is low ‘because everyone has two jobs” and “unemployment is low because people are working 60, 70, 80 hours a week, and can barely feed their kids.” Needless to say, this is not how the unemployment rate works, bit what could you expect from a novice, clueless socialist.
Establishment Democrats are in deep worry mode as this far-leftist socialist is becoming the face of the Democrat party and her insane rhetoric is going to be used in political ads for the midterm elections. It has already been said by DNC Chair Tom Perez that she is the future of the Democrat party, yet other Democrats realize she is divisive and tearing the party in half. Americans might want to take this into at when voting for the 2018 midterm elections, the future of the Democrats is socialism.
Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the new darling of the Democratic party. In a recent interview, however, the upstart politico running in a hyper-liberal district in New York did not show command of the issues. Ocasio-Cortez was being interviewed by Margaret Hoover on the PBS show ‘Firing Line.’
Hoover asked very basic, softball questions of the young congressional candidate. In explaining her positions on the economy, Hoover asked Ocasio-Cortez “Do you think that capitalism has failed to deliver for working class Americans?” Hoover cited a currently booming US economy and low unemployment.
“Unemployment is low because everyone has two jobs,” Ocasio-Cortez explained, lamenting that people are employed but having to work long hours, “Capitalism has not always existed in the world and will not always exist in the world,” she continued.
Remember when this socialist touted her economic degree?
In an ironic twist, just two weeks before the bungling interview, Ocasio-Cortez had been bragging on twitter about her economics degree and wondering if her assumed future House colleagues would be able to match her educational prowess. In a tweet, the socialist asked “Wondering: How many other House Democrats have a degree in Economics like I do? Trying to find who out here is going to be in the Gini Coefficient Appreciation Squad.”
Ocasio-Cortez graduated with a bachelor’s degree in economics and international relations from Boston University’s College of Arts and Sciences just a six years ago

President Trump to Declare Jerusalem the Capital of Israel
WHO HONESTLY DOESN’T THINK JERUSALEM SHOULDN’T BE THE CAPITAL?
From ABC News, President Donald Trump is to declare Jerusalem the capital of Israel. The president is expected to officially announce the policy changes in remarks at the White House at 1pm on Wednesday. Trump once again is fulfilling a campaign promise. One that other presidents made before him and failed to follow thru with.
In a momentous shift of United States foreign policy in the Middle East, President Donald Trump is set to officially recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel on Wednesday and initiate the process of relocating the U.S. embassy to the city from Tel Aviv, according to senior administration officials.
The president is expected to officially announce the policy changes in remarks at the White House at 1pm on Wednesday.
A U.S. official and a source close to the White House told ABC News that official recognition of Jerusalem as the capital is expected to be intentionally broad and not meant to preclude the possibility that the Palestinians could claim part of the historic city as a capital of a future Palestinian state. The president does not want to “prejudice” the outcome of any future peace negotiations for a two-state solution, one source familiar with the plan told ABC News.

Barack Hussein Obama Refuses to Call Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu After His Big Victory (Update: Obama Finally Calls, “Reassess” Its options on US-Israel Relations)
THE INCREDIBLY SHRINKING PRESIDENT … JUST HOW SMALL, PETTY AND THIN SKINNED IS BARACK OBAMA.
One needs to look no further to witness the lack of class, the pettiness and the pathetic “smallish” behavior of President Barack Obama than to examine his behavior falling the victory by Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in yesterdays landslide election. Following Benjamin Netanyahu’s huge win, Barack Obama has not called the Israel Prime Minister to congratulate him. Even for Obama, this is small. Really, this is how we treat an ally? But the incredibly shrinking Obama is throwing a temper tantrum because Netanyahu’s big win means an Obama big and embarrassing loss. All of Obama’s attempts to interfere in the Israel election and have Netanyahu ousted were for naught.
But this is the sad state of affairs that the United States sees itself in as a clueless and apathetic electorate have voted this little Napoleon into office, who is the most liberal ideologue, that America has ever had to endure. So I guess the transformation of America is to attack our allies unless they goose-step to Obama’s wishes. 2016 cannot come soon enough.
Really, this president has the audacity to question anyone about using rhetotic in an election. Seriously Barack, you might want to take a look at yourself in the mirror and see just how you conducted yourself in the 2008 and 2012 elections. And the crap you have spewed in between.
UPDATE I: NY Times – Obama May Find It Impossible to Mend Frayed Ties to Netanyahu.
President Obama and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel had a poisonous relationship long before Mr. Netanyahu swept to victory on Tuesday night in elections watched minute-by-minute at the White House.
But now that Mr. Netanyahu has won after aggressively campaigning against a Palestinian state and Mr. Obama’s potential nuclear deal with Iran, the question is whether the president and prime minister can ever repair their relationship — and whether Mr. Obama will even try.
On Wednesday, part of the answer seemed to be that the president would not make the effort.
In strikingly strong criticism, the White House called Mr. Netanyahu’s campaign rhetoric, in which he railed against Israeli Arabs because they went out to vote, an attempt to “marginalize Arab-Israeli citizens” and inconsistent with the values that bind Israel and the United States. The White House press secretary, Josh Earnest, told reporters traveling with Mr. Obama on Air Force One on Wednesday that Mr. Netanyahu’s statement was “deeply concerning and it is divisive and I can tell you that these are views the administration intends to communicate directly to the Israelis.”
UPDATE II: Obama calls to congratulate Netanyahu.
Barack Obama finally calls to congratulate Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on his recent victory; however, it was far from friendly or cordial. The thin skinned Obama, still smarting from his guy not winning the Israel election, basically made the following salutations, Congratulations, and by the way, we’re going to re-access our policy with Israel since you won. How big of Obama.
President Barack Obama told Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday that Washington would “reassess” its options on U.S.-Israel relations and Middle East diplomacy after the Israeli prime minister took a position against Palestinian statehood during his re-election campaign, a White House official said.
Obama’s telephone call to Netanyahu followed a television interview in which the Israeli leader backed away from his pre-election declaration that there would be no Palestinian state on his watch, an about-face apparently aimed at quelling U.S. criticism triggered by his comments.
The White House, unmoved by Netanyahu’s effort to backtrack, delivered a fresh rebuke against him on Thursday and signaled that Washington may reconsider its decades-old policy of shielding close ally Israel from international pressure at the United Nations.
Benjamin Netanyahu & the Likud Party Win in a Landslide Victory … Wins 30 Seats in the Knesset
So much for the pundits and polls showing a close race in Israel elections much to the dismay of Barack Obama, the liberal MSM and Iran …
With nearly all of the ballots counted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Likud party have scored a decisive and overwhelming victory over its main left-wing rival, Isaac Herzog and the Zionist Union, in Israeli parliamentary elections. The Likud party was only expected to secure 20 to 22 seats in the Knesset Tuesday night; however, when the dust settled and the votes were counted, it appears Likud won 30 seats. This is a huge victory for Benjamin Netanyahu and as much as the libs don’t want to admit it, a total and complete rejection of Herzog and the Zionist Union. Netanyahu released the following statement, “Against all odds, a great victory for the Likud, for the nationalist camp led by the Likud, and for the people of Israel.”
So much for pre-election and exit polls.
When it comes to elections, Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu is the political equivalent of a scrambling quarterback. During the three-month election campaign that ended Tuesday night, the prime minister fell 20 yards behind the line of scrimmage before evading a savage blitz, escaped a catastrophic sack, then, at the last moment, turned upfield, crossed the line of scrimmage and galloped ahead for a huge gain.
Although Netanyahu’s Likud Party only won about half the number of seats needed to secure a majority in Israel’s parliament, it did so much better than anyone expected (including Bibi) that he seems to have triumphed in the goal he had set for himself last December when he broke up the government he had formed in 2013 and called new elections.
He did that because he wanted to strengthen his own hand and rid himself of two hostile coalition partners at the same time. This was a risky strategy, and it looked for quite a while like a disastrous one.
Throughout the final weeks, polling suggested Likud had fallen behind the center-left opposition, the Zionist Union.
Oh to be a fly on the wall in the White House yesterday to see Barack Obama’s reaction when Benjamin Netanyahu not only won a close race, but it turned out to be a landslide instead. Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Likud Party’s victory is a smashing defeat for Obama, Iran and all that wanted to see America transformed. Even with Obama’s State Department meddling in an election of a US ally, Obama’s fails. In the end Israel voters selected national security and their right to survive as a people.
Likud wins big across Israel, while Zionist Union makes massive gains on Gaza border.
In the capital, Likud won 24.16% of the vote, United Torah Judaism got 12.05% and the Zionist Union just 8.39%. In Tel Aviv, however, Zionist Union won 34.25%, followed by Likud with 18.26% and Meretz with 12.95%. In Haifa, the Zionist Union led the way with 25.28% of the vote, then Likud with 20.74% and Yesh Atid with 11.25%.
In the south, the ongoing threats of mass dismissals were no barrier to a great success by Netanyahu and the Likud. In Be’er Sheva, Likud won 37.69% of the vote while the Zionist Union pulled in just 12.24%. Sderot saw another great victory for the Likud, with 42.85% of the vote, compared to just 11.84% for the Zionist Union.
There was a similar story in Dimona, where the Likud won 41.06% of the vote, with Shas coming second with 12.36%. In Ashdod, the Likud got 31.34% and in Ashkelon 40%. In Eilat, Likud scored 35.21%, compared to 17% for the Zionist Union, and in Arad, 22.48% voted for Likud and just 15.22% for Zionist Union.
