Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) would likely be a performance artist in a far-left club in New York if she weren’t involved in politics. She seems to need constant attention but doesn’t do anything consequential.

AOC reported to Bloomberg News that she was thinking about selling her Tesla after Elon Musk teased her online.

He is a billionaire. Ocasio-Cortez, a progressive Democrat, said that he could not care less about his views when asked about his support for the GOP.

Ocasio-Cortez bought her Model 3 to travel between Washington and her Bronx-Queens district after Covid-19 hit in 2020. Now, the New York representative wants to ditch it for an electric vehicle made by unionized workers. “At the time, it was the only EV that could get me from New York to Washington on like one, or one-and-a-half charges,” she said. “I would love to switch.”

It’s funny because she cares about him and whines. Did she know that it wasn’t made by unionized workers? She claims to believe in socialist principles.

She claimed it was the only electric car that could get her from New York to Washington, D.C. in less than one hour. This endorsement is both praises for the car and criticism of the practicality of electric cars. She doesn’t seem to be able to understand that. Musk should make this an advertisement.

Elon Musk replied to her remarks with a funny response. He then asked which Americans were more trusted: billionaires or politicians.

The overwhelming support of billionaires was enough to end her socialist despair.

A colleague offered to help her, and she got the same result. AOC is out of luck.

See, how amusing Twitter can be at times.

A federal report this week warned that China’s determination for self-sufficiency and resolution of its food security problems could place the United States in Beijing’s crosshairs. The U.S. China Economic and Security Review Commission (USCC), released a report warning that China’s attempts to bolster its agriculture sector pose a security threat and an economic challenge.

China has turned to the United States to purchase farmland, livestock and intellectual property, sometimes through theft, because it cannot secure sufficient domestic production to feed its massive population.

It would be a good idea to increase Beijing’s seed stocks. This will not only reduce the country’s dependence on the U.S. but also make Beijing a significant competitor in the global marketplace.

According to the USCC report, $1.62 billion was exported by the United States in 2020 of seeds. These included vegetables, corn, soybeans, and grasses.

China was the largest exporter of seeds in 2021 with $173.9 Million. This equates to approximately 15% of global exports.

As China looks to reduce its dependence on foreign resources, Xi Jinping, the Chinese President, has ordered China’s agricultural industry to increase its seed collection.

Instead of directing its resources to research and development in domestic seed innovations, spying is now a key tool for the agriculture industry.

The report concluded that China has found a way to acquire U.S. trade secrets via agricultural espionage, which is a convenient way to increase its agricultural output and compete in global markets. Chinese agribusinesses could steal agricultural IP to compete on international seed markets with the U.S.

Beyond the economic woes Beijing could cause the U.S., there is a more serious threat to U.S. food production.

By reducing the risk of pests, droughts, and other unpredictable realities that the agricultural industry is faced with every season, genetically engineered seeds can help you to avoid them.

Although genetically altering a crop can save you a season of farming, it can also help to create targeted crops.

Glenn Thompson, House Agriculture Committee Ranking Member, stated to Fox News that food security is national security and that the USCC report indicated the need to adopt tougher stances in order to protect intellectual property and the agricultural sector.

China expressed concern about bioterrorism after the terrorist attacks of 2001. Biosecurity was made a top priority.

China has always been reluctant to import genetically modified animals or plants.

The report did note that Beijing had “increasingly recognized the strategic benefits [of] genetically altered organisms” and could use Western imports to further develop its technology and gain global agricultural dominance.

According to the USCC, the intelligence community should work with the United States Department of Agriculture in order to protect and develop the U.S. agriculture industry and better guard it against foreign adversaries such as China.

In an exclusive statement, Jessica Anderson, Executive Director of Heritage Action for America, told Breitbart News on Friday that the left “plays politics” with Americans’ healthcare by trying to conceal the “true price” of Obamacare.

Biden and his Democrat majority passed the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan last year, which was the Democrats’ coronavirus assistance bill. The bill included Obamacare subsidies that were higher than the ACA’s subsidy threshold of 400 percent of the poverty level. The enhanced subsidies will expire because Democrats have not passed a reconciliation bill that can be passed across party lines to continue funding the American Rescue Plan provision.

Given the inability of Democrats to pass a reconciliation bill that includes a provision to extend the Obamacare subsidies, approximately 13 million Americans could be subject to higher premiums in October, just before the crucial 2022 congressional midterms.

Charles Gaba, a Healthcare Policy Analyst, stated to Business Insider that “there’s no denying” that they could be extended if they don’t.

Anderson blamed the Left for creating an unsustainable situation that will only make Americans’ life worse, as many families continue to be affected by inflation.

Brian Blase was a Special Assistant to Donald Trump on Economic Policy at the National Economic Council. He explained in this week’s op-ed why Congress should allow the Obamacare subsidies from American Rescue Plan to expire.

Blase concluded his article by pointing out that Obamacare’s enhanced subsidies will only try to mask the systemic problems of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Blase stated that Congress must reform the ACA’s regulatory structure. This has limited Americans’ healthcare options and lowered quality health insurance.

Recently, President Biden stated that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine was backfiring and that the Russian dictator had “NATOized Europe” with his brutal war.

Biden delivered the remarks at the Commencement Ceremony of the United States. Naval Academy Classes 2022: In response to the Ukraine War Sweden and Finland applied for membership in North Atlantic Treat Organization.

Many western countries joined the United States when it imposed severe sanctions against Russia. Europe is united against Putin’s expansionism, and is moving towards NATO or the U.S.

After the war, the most important step towards NATO membership was made by Sweden and Finland. This is a sign of countries joining forces against Russia’s treaty.

Texas Governor. Greg Abbott cancelled his plans to attend the National Rifle Association annual meeting this weekend. Instead, he will appear via video and visit Uvalde, Texas. This is after a school shooting that left 21 people dead.
Abbott was originally scheduled to attend the convention at Houston, where prominent Republicans such as Sen. Ted Cruz or former President Donald Trump are scheduled to speak.

Numerous high-profile figures including Don McLean and Larry Gatlin have cancelled their appearances at this year’s NRA conference. This was after Salvador Ramos, 18, entered Robb Elementary School in Uvalde Texas on Tuesday, and shot 19 children and two teachers.

Trump stated Wednesday that he will keep his promise to attend the event.

Daniel Defense, a gun manufacturer, announced Thursday that it had canceled plans for promoting products at the event.

The NRA expects that tens of thousands will attend the annual meeting. This is the first large gathering of NRA members for three years after a hiatus in the aftermath of the pandemic. It follows decades of hosting the annual event.

According to a Nature editorial, the long-respected scientific journal Nature seems to be awakening. It states that Nature journals have raised the bar for gender reporting in research. Authors will be asked to give details about how sex was considered in study design.

The editorial mentions that certain journals have “encouraged” reporting about sex/gender “for years”, but they cited insufficient data reporting on both sex/gender — as though the two were different.

The editorial continues under the heading “Accounting to sex and gender makes science better”:

The participants will be required to give data that is gender- and sex-disaggregated, and they will be informed of their consent to share and report individual-level data. These changes will apply to studies that involve human participants, other vertebrates, or cell lines in which sex is a relevant consideration.

A further four journals, Nature Communications, Nature Medicine, Nature Communications and Nature Metabolism, will raise awareness about the new recommendations starting in June. This is done to increase understanding of how gender and sex reporting are already part of research design, data collection, and analysis in journals that publish them. Journals will also assess the reception of changes by authors and reviewers so that we can improve upon them as we gain experience.

The editorial mentions drug studies and even admits to the narrative of gender identity activists when it says that those studies have different effects on men and women.

Debra Soh is a sex neuroscientist and host of The Dr. Debra Soh Podcast. She also wrote The End of Gender: Debunking Myths About Sex and Identity in Our Society.

Nature said that studies should recognize sex and sex, and that sex is a biological attribute and gender is socially constructed. Some intersex people and transgender people identify more with opposite sex than their birth sexuality. However, this is due to biological influences such as prenatal hormonal exposure. Why can’t transgender people feel comfortable in their birth sex if gender is a social construct?

While being open to minorities’ concerns is a good thing, it doesn’t make any sense to rewrite science to include 0.8% of the population. Scientists are being hampered by activists’ ideologies that seperate gender and sex.

Soh said that she was “saddened by academia being “debased”, putting “threats, deceit” above “knowledge, understanding” and that science cannot be regained once trust is lost.

Elon Musk, the world’s wealthiest man, is trolling liberals online again with his tweets. His latest tweets were a poke at liberal politicians like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), who believe billionaires are a curse to society and should be taxed heavily.

An eccentric billionaire and Tesla CEO, who is also the potential future owner of Twitter, created a Twitter poll to ask his 95.3 million followers if they trust billionaires more than politicians.

Musk tweeted, “Who do trust less?” Real question.” He offered the choices of “Politicians”, or “Billionaires”. The poll had gathered over 3,000,000 votes as of Friday afternoon. 75.7% selected “Politicians”, while 24.3% chose “Billionaires” as the person they trust least.

Musk poked fun at one politician and her progressive fans, and responded to his poll by asking that the congresswoman do one for her supporters.

Musk tweeted: “. Musk tweeted, “.

The Bronx Congresswoman has repeatedly mentioned taxing the wealthy, and even wore a dress with a “Tax the Rich” logo to the Met Gala. In an interview, she also stated that she would love to sell her Tesla after her CEO made fun of her on Twitter.

Musk seemed to be interested in seeing who her supporters trust less.

Many liberal blue-checks came together to comment on the provocative series. While some made observations, others were more uptight.

Nina Burleigh, a journalist, was not amused by Musk’s inability to stop focusing on the Uvalde school shooting in Texas. She tweeted: “Wouldn’t it be remarkable and admirable if @elonmusk used its enormous platform to speak against loose gun laws which enable massacres?”

Cenk Uygur, Young Turks host, corrected Musk by tweeting: “This is a trick query. Our politicians are suckers because they serve the wealthy. They do everything for their donors. They accept legalized bribes, and they do what is asked of them. The reason politicians are so corrupt is that they were bought by billionaires.

“The worst billionaires are those who think they are politicians @elonmusk. Not that I have any names in particular… @BillGates,” tweeted conservative YouTuber Viva Frei.

Jenna Ellis, a former Trump lawyer, commented on Musk’s tweet tweeting that “Billionaires invest their own money.” My money goes to politicians.”

“Guard the public liberty with jealous attention. “Suspect anyone who comes close to that precious jewel,” tweeted Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch.

Gad Saad, a psychiatrist and author, got very technical in his assessment of the poll. He tweeted, “Politicians, multicellular parasites.” They are a net loss to society. Many billionaires are net beneficiaries, even though they have high levels of scamming.

Brigitte Gabriel, founder of ACT for America, offered a more nuanced perspective by tweeting, “I believe you, but I don’t trust Bill Gates.”

Brandon Herrera, a YouTuber, came out to support billionaires. He tweeted, “Billionaires often had to grind at an opportunity for their money. Politicians must find ways to make their money.

Nina Turner, former Ohio State Senator, tweeted: “Trick question. The politicians are bought and work for the wealthy. They’re synonymous.”

Trump has yet to announce whether he will run for the presidency in 2024. It is widely believed that Trump will announce his decision after the 2022 midterm elections.

According to sources within Trump’s inner circle, one name is most likely to be his vice presidential nominee: Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.

CNN was told multiple times by sources that Stefanik is interested and that “conversations regarding including Stefanik in a future Trump ticket”.

CNN reports that Trump is “interviewing close friends, allies on their opinions about Stefanik. One of the many Republican women he might be interested in for the potential slot to become VP. However, he hasn’t ruled out other male candidates. ”

One Trump advisor said, “Trump is fond of Elise Stefanik. There is a part of Trump who thinks he needs a female VP. He definitely likes her, likely because of how effusive she is to him”.

Stefanik’s group currently denies the idea of joining an international party.

Alex DeGrasse, a senior advisor to Stefanik, stated that Congresswoman Stefanik is 100% dedicated to serving New York City’s 21st Congressional District. She is also the House Republican Conference Chair and leads the effort to retake Congress in 2022 in order to fire Nancy Pelosi.

Trump, who was born in New York and has lived there his whole life, moved to Florida in 2019 to be with a running partner. But is Stefanik capable of balancing the ticket adequately? I’m not sure. However, Trump has plenty of options and time to think about it.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Wednesday blocked a bill to improve school safety that Republicans are shaming.

Sen. Ron Johnson (Republican from Wisconsin) requested unanimous consent to pass the Luke and Alex School Safety Act after the massacre at Uvalde Elementary School in Texas that resulted in the deaths of 19 children and 2 teachers.

Named after Parkland shooting victims Alex Schachter and Luke Hoyer, the bill would require that the Department of Homeland Security establish a Federal Clearinghouse on School Safety Best Practices for state and local education and law enforcement agencies, institutions of higher learning, health professionals, as well as the general public. It would also require DHS to collect data analytics from the clearinghouse and user feedback about the implementation of the best practices and recommendations. Also, any evaluations based on these best practices or recommendations will be required.

With the passage of the bill, the clearinghouse, which is already accessible at SchoolSafety.gov would be codified in law.

Schumer opposed Johnson’s request and claimed on Twitter that the bill could see “more guns in schools”.

Schumer tweeted, “The truth is that there were officers at the Texas school.” They were able to get past the shooter. We need real solutions. We will vote for gun legislation, starting with the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act.

Schumer stated that the legislation could be considered on the Senate floor if Republicans agreed to debate the domestic terrorist bill. According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Johnson said it was “a sad day” for the United States Senate.

Johnson tweeted later: “It’s not surprising that the Democrat leader would lie to us about the bill he blocked, which Parkland parents have been trying for years. The Dems don’t want solutions. They want wedge issues to keep them in power. Sick.”

Not surprising that the Democrat leader would lie about the bill he blocked that parents of Parkland victims have been trying to pass for years.

Dems aren’t looking for solutions, they want wedge issues that they hope will keep them in power. Sick. https://t.co/f4zbNb03ey

Senator Rick Scott (Republican from Florida), who sponsored the bill, called Schumer “a liar, and a hack”.

This was a bill I worked on with the parents of Parkland victims. It’s named after them. You’re a liar and a hack. https://t.co/WKFMLTjT4x

Senator Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), who also sponsored the bill, tweeted: “The Truth: Schumer blocked the bipartisan bill that makes school safety clearinghouse schoolsafety.gov permanently because radical left-wing activists oppose it.”

The Senate will vote on Thursday on whether to approve the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act. This bill was passed by the House last week following the massacre in Buffalo that left 10 dead.

The bill would require DHS, DOJ, and FBI to report jointly on domestic terrorism. It also creates “an interagency taskforce to analyze and combat white supremacist or neo-Nazi invasion of uniformed services and federal enforcement agencies.”

The legacy media confirms what everyone knew: The Pennsylvania Senate race between Dr. Mehmet Oz, a television personality, and David McCormick (hedge fund CEO and former Undersecretary of the Treasury) will be recounted.

We reported that the race was close on May 17, with McCormick trying to beat Oz. McCormick began to lose ground as more people were counted. He made an antagonistic move, which was reported by our sister site Townhall.

McCormick filed Monday’s lawsuit in an attempt to make Pennsylvania election officials count absentee ballots and mail-in ballots, even if the outer envelope did not bear a date handwritten on it.

This is dangerous territory to tread on, considering the past year-and-a-half. McCormick nevertheless went there.

According to the complaint, Pennsylvania county election boards “refuse” to count ballots if the voter fails to handwrite a date on an envelope, but otherwise comply with all applicable requirements. McCormick also claims that this refusal to count ballots that do not meet Pennsylvania’s requirements “violates the rights to vote under the federal Civil Rights Act as well as the Pennsylvania Constitution.”

McCormick’s play was rejected by the RNC and state GOP, but they allowed the development of Pennsylvania’s electoral rules to continue.

So, here we are.

CNN: After Mehmet Oz, a celebrity heart surgeon, and Dave McCormick, a former hedge fund director, Pennsylvania’s Republican Senate Primary is heading for a recount.

Leigh Chapman, acting secretary of the state of Pennsylvania, made Wednesday’s announcement. She noted that the gap between the candidates was only 902 votes. This is after all counties in Pennsylvania had reported their unofficial results on Tuesday to the state — within the 0.5% threshold for an automatic recount. Chapman reported that Oz had 419,365 votes while McCormick had only 418,463 votes. These totals are not shown on the state’s results page.

Trump’s endorsement of Oz has been controversial. So has his endorsement of Mo Brooks, an Alabama Rep.

Many considered Trump’s retractions fatal, but they ended up giving Brooks’ race new momentum. Brooks was able to keep Katie Britt (former chief of staff to Sen. Richard Shelby) and Mike Durant, from getting to 50 percent. Brooks will face Britt in the runoff election. Britt is calling for a debate prior to the June 21 runoff.

Brooks stated Tuesday night, “My thought was, let’s get at it.” “If you can defend the attack ads that my team has launched against you, I challenge you. You know what? They are lying. I will expose them.”

“And if there are those types of debates, she should bring whatever she likes to be ready for the fight. It’s going to be a fight. There will be no pauses. It will be Muhammad Ali.”

Katie Britt seems to not be open to the idea.

A Wednesday inquiry by the Britt campaign regarding their position on a debate did not receive a response.

Why muddy the waters when so much of Alabama media is carrying Katie Britt’s water and presumptively projecting her victory?

Britt’s victory at Tuesday’s polls may indicate that she doesn’t need to participate in a debate. Although she did not win more than half the votes to avoid the runoff she still received the most votes from 62 of Alabama’s 67 counties. Brooks won Madison County by nearly 2,000 votes, almost 3% more than Britt. Britt was outdistancing Britt by only 34 votes in Limestone County.

Brooks won Britt in a neighboring county by less than 1 percent of the vote. This is Morgan County, where Decatur is located.

Brooks won Shelby County, Birmingham’s metro area, by less than 1 percent and rural Blount County by 141 votes (less than 2%) outside of Birmingham.

Both Senate races can be viewed as indicators of a national trend, as I concluded in Wednesday’s analysis. Although there may be some common electoral patterns, it seems that anything can happen through November. It is not clear that endorsements are important or that candidates who appear to have an edge in a race will win it. It is obvious that voters don’t want to be patronized and pigeonholed. They want to scrutinize the candidates for their own purposes, then make their decisions.

As it should be.
