I thought AOC was 'Rican.

I've always thought Republicans could score a lot of points with Hispanics - there are a lot of shared cultural values: strong emphasis on community, church and family, small business ownership, etc.
 
Flying J, Union Pacific, DEF price increases/future DEF shortages and former members of the Obama WH and current members of the Biden WH in the same piece:

The BlackRock Investment Institute (BII) leverages the firm's expertise and generates proprietary research to provide insights on the global economy, markets, geopolitics and long-term asset allocation – all to help our clients and portfolio managers navigate financial markets.
And:

The Chairman of the BlackRock Investment Institute is Tom Donilon, President Obama’s former National Security Advisor.
Tom Donilon’s brother, Mike Donilon is a Senior Advisor to Joe Biden.
Tom Donilon’s wife, Catherine Russell, is the director of the White House Presidential Personnel Office.
Tom Donilon’s daughter, Sarah Donilon, graduated from college in 2019 and now works on the White House National Security Council.

Union Pacific's largest two shareholders are Vanguard and BlackRock. BlackRock's key figure for strategy and policy is Tom Donilon, President Obama’s former National Security Advisor. Donilon's wife, daughter, and brother work at the Biden White House.
There is no wand to be waved to make the DEF shortage simply disappear. But doing nothing is both reprehensible and indefensible. There is no one better positioned to bring this looming catastrophe to the front burner than two men and two women named Donilon. Yet nothing is exactly what is being done. Why? Well, draw your own conclusions:

She is; but it would help to have someone not a white dude calling out AOCs idiocy.

Yeah the area this lady is from is heavily oil and gas. I’m sure they don’t like the woke stuff, but the lack of safety after blm riots and Covid shut downs of small business I think are the main drivers of the shift. They are the new Italians and I think it’s going to take a lot to move them back to dem
 
Yeah Miami is interesting I know a lot of the Cubans at least 1st 2nd gen are R and Jews mostly dem. But surely the vocal antisemitism of the squad and lack of support for Israel has to lower their support doesn’t it?

We are governed by Twitter[/size]

Sawyer Hackett is not a member of the Biden administration. He holds no official position in the Department of Homeland Security or the Customs and Border Patrol. He hosts a podcast and is a senior advisor to Julián Castro, as well as having a modestly small Twitter following he leveraged to accuse several border agents of “whipping” migrants during a caravan crossing last September. It was a claim quickly debunked by an Associated Press video team on scene, but that doesn’t matter now.

The Biden regime marches to the tune of Twitter optics, thanks to the way-too-online tendencies of White House chief of staff Ron Klain and former press secretary Jen Psaki, who seem to be scouring the social media platform on an hourly basis.

Just revisit the following textbook case: Hackett tweeted out photos of border agents a horse confronting migrants crossing the Rio Grande — and claimed they were holding whips, like slave drivers. “Border patrol is mounted on horseback rounding up Haitian refugees with whips,” he wrote.

US border agents do not carry whips as part of their equipment. Hackett appears to have mistakenly identified horse reins. Yet he never retracted his claim, despite video evidence to the contrary. Again, this doesn’t matter now.

His claim was regurgitated by “reporters” like PBS’s Yamiche Alcindor, who promptly took it to Jen Psaki. The claim was then echoed by several mainstream outlets and reporters. The White House, guided by these interactions, passed the story on to President Biden, who vowed to make the agents pay. A months-long investigation ensued, which culminated in the agents involved being cleared, although the horseback units were abolished. None of this matters either.

Now, per Fox reporter Bill Miselugin, DHS is “preparing to discipline multiple horseback Border Patrol agents who were accused of ‘whipping’ Haitian migrants in Del Rio last summer.”

Melugin went on to state that despite the investigation clearing them, the agents will be charged with “administrative violations.”

Could there be a more crystalline example of the Biden administration setting federal policy according to the whims of Twitter? Perhaps this might partially explain why the person in charge currently sits at a 38.7 approval rating — given that a good majority of the population are not equipped with Twitter accounts.

The Twitter addicts advising the president have made a calculated decision that RTs and courting the good graces of journalists are more important than protecting the agents tasked with the difficult jobs of guarding border communities from bad-faith and evidence-free slights.

Deploying tweets and viral trends to guide policies such as defunding the police has not worked out well for the political left, but it does fuel passion, much as the photos of border agents on horses did.

Even then the truth did not matter to mainstream journalists.

Now border agents who do not carry lariats, as Reuters News Agency claimed, or whips, and did not whip migrants, or trample them or assault them, find themselves disciplined for a series of events that did not happen. But this does not matter to our media — or the Biden administration.

Yeah ruthless podcast covers this kind of thing really well, they even have a segment and song about Ron klain sung to the tune of fame LOL

Moreso even than the Obama admin, you have people with no practical knowledge of how anything gets made in this country, it’s full of people who loathe capitalism and corporations and most of all, ordinary working people who make the food and energy they need to live. They have zero interest in anything but their echo chambers.

If you look at how far left the Dems have gone it started with occupy wall street and culminated when AOC was elected and marched with sunrise movement radicals to occupy Pelosi’s office (but def not an insurrection) even logical Dems allowed themselves to be bullied by a young clueless minority. People so coddled they think emissions and identity stuff are the most important issues

Their policies absolutely suck and that’s why they need to censor opposition, see Gina McCarthy wanting social media to ban people for pointing out the failings of solar and wind

I wonder how much this has changed say Elon Musk voting for a republican for the first time by moving his company to Texas and being around normal hard working people.
 
So a truthful post about Biden’s gas prices hikes is “climate misinformation” on Facebook now
