She actually said this today!:

Wednesday at the NAACP town hall, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said Miami has only a few years left on this planet.

Ocasio-Cortez said, "When it comes to c*****e c****e, what is not realistic is not responding with a solution on the scale of the crisis — because what's not realistic is Miami not existing in a few years, So we need to be realistic about the problem."

Does anyone know what she's talking about? Manhattan and Boston also have the same sea levels. Is it only Miami?

Does using the word "realistic" make it more "real"?? Apparently she thinks so.

Is game over for Republicans???....It will be if Republicans in Texas won't show up!!!...I do not believe that will happen though..You know why???.....People in Texas are pro-2nd Amend!!!......Nuff said!! ......As much as it's important to reelect President Trump its as important if not more to take Congress back and keep the Senate...Why Congress???Because think about it, if God forbid we will lose Presidency, Congress can give hard time to the new President,exactly what these DumboRats are doing to this President!!!

MIAMI, FL—A spare empty podium and microphone set up backstage at the Democratic debate this evening is projected to win the event "hands down" according to experts.

"This spare podium and microphone won't say anything stupid, won't vow to take more of your money away, and won't promise v**ers to meddle in your lives," said one commentator. "The podium's policy positions are hard to argue with. You don't have to deal with Warren's r********ns, Biden's empty promise to cure cancer, or Bernie's plan to cancel all student debt."

"In a lot of ways, the empty podium may win over everybody tonight," the commentator continued. "I know it has my v**e."

Should the podium win the Democratic primaries, it will face Donald Trump in the general e******n. While Trump has had some success in the White House, experts believe that the empty podium, consisting of nobody at all, is likely to beat out Trump as the ideal leader of our nation.

Over a Million Households Climbed to Middle Class Under Trump, Census Data Shows
Petr Svab ~ September 12, 2019
More than 1.2 million American households moved to above $50,000 in annual income between 2016 and 2018, according to Census Bureau data released on Sept. 10, a sign of a growing middle class.

The data is a boon to President Donald Trump, whose platform is centered on a strong economy and promises of increased prosperity.

While in 2016, some 58.5 percent of households enjoyed more than $50,000 in total money income, the share rose to more than 60 percent in 2018. The median household income, meanwhile, rose by nearly 2.3 percent—with all figures adjusted for inflation.

The comparison isn’t quite apples-to-apples, since the bureau implemented a new methodology in its latest report that somewhat influenced the results for both 2018 and 2017.

Still, the data bears out a middle-class expansion unseen since the 1960s. Nearly 30 percent of households pulled in between $50,000 and $99,999 in 2018. That’s up from less than 29 percent the year before—the fastest increase since 1968.

Middle Class Woes
America has done a decent job of lifting up its poor, with the number of households earning less than $25,000 a year dropping by about 20 percent since 1968. The improvement is more significant when taking into account that the average household size has decreased from about 3.2 people to 2.5 people in the same period.

Furthermore, the country multiplied its rich (those with households earning over $200,000 year) more than eightfold, to 8.5 percent in 2018 from just 1 percent in 1968.

The middle class, however, had shrunk considerably. While in 1968, over 38 percent of households earned over $50,000 and under $100,000, the percentage dropped to 28.6 by 2014.

Signs of Change
In many respects, 2018 was a significant year for the middle class.

In the first months of 2018, the unemployment rate remained stuck at 4.1 percent, seemingly confirming forecasts of some economists that the 4 percent barrier signifies full employment. But the economy kept adding jobs. By the year’s end, unemployment fell to 3.7 percent, the lowest since 1969. Despite some ups and downs, the rate still stood at 3.7 percent in August 2019.

The progress has been even more apparent for b***k A******ns, whose unemployment rate dropped below 7 percent for the first time in December 2017 and in May 2018 fell further to 5.9 percent. That record held for more than a year until it was also shattered in August as the rate hit 5.5 percent.

Money in Pockets
Another shift happened in wage growth.

In early 2018, it was high-wage industries that had the fastest growth (about 3 percent). But by the year’s end and into 2019, annual growth has been strongest in low-wage industries—about 4.7 percent—according to an Aug. 2 data analysis by Martha Gimbel, research director at job-seeking site Indeed.

It was also those with the lowest education enjoying the fastest wage growth, a July report from the Congressional Research Service showed (pdf).

Less Welfare
Meanwhile, Americans have been weaning themselves off dependency on government programs.

In the first 29 months under Trump, food-stamp enrollment dropped by nearly 6.7 million. That compares with the less than 3.8 million drop under the last 29 months of the Obama presidency, which included a sudden drop of more than 770,000 in April 2016, when work requirements for able-bodied adults came into effect. Prior to that, the requirements were waived by most states, due to the 2008 recession.

Enrollment in Medicaid and CHIP, government-sponsored health insurance for children and the poor, also declined under Trump by more than 2.9 million between January 2017 and June 2019.

Push on China
Trump has benefited from entering office during a period of expansion, yet the economy has also been boosted by his cutting of taxes and regulations. By fostering a pro-business climate, he also sparked optimism for investment.

The economic strength and the resilience of the labor market, in particular, have given Trump room to mount unprecedented economic pressure on China, whose c*******t regime has long been hurting the United States with unfair trade practices such as forced technology t***sfer, theft of intellectual property, and currency manipulation.

While negotiations with the regime continue, Trump has been raising tariffs on an increasing share of imports from China and plans to add still more.

The United States has collected tens of billions on the tariffs, though they’ve also led to increased prices of some products for Americans.

Chick-fil-A’s future relies on the results of a brand new lawsuit

Democrats want nothing more than to take down Chick-fil-A.

They are furious that the company is willing to stand by their Christian beliefs.

And now Chick-fil-A’s future relies on the results of a brand new lawsuit.

Earlier this year, the city of San Antonio, TX took a major swipe at Chick-fil-A denying them the ability to open up in their local airport.

The city council cites the company’s Christian beliefs, specifically their opposition to gay marriage.

But now a group of Chick-fil-A fans in Texas are fighting back, filing a lawsuit against the city demanding they reverse course.

The group cites a June law signed by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, which prevents the government from taking unfavorable action against a person or company due to their religious contributions.

Fox News reports:

Five Texas fans of Chick-fil-A have filed a lawsuit against the city of San Antonio for its decision to ban the chicken-centric chain from opening up shop in the local airport. In March, city council officials rejected the restaurant’s bid to open a new location in San Antonio International Airport due to the company’s alleged “legacy of anti-L***Q behavior.”

On Sept. 5, plaintiffs Patrick Von Dohlen, Brian Greco, Kevin Jason Khattar, Michael Knuffke and Daniel Petri filed suit against the city under S.B. 1978, otherwise known as the “Save Chick-fil-A Bill.”

Supporters of the bill argue that the provision, signed by Gov. Greg Abbott in June, defends the fast-food restaurant and protects religious freedoms, while opponents say it discriminates against the L***Q community.

The new law stops the government from taking unfavorable action against a business or person for contributing to religious organizations.

“The continued religious ban on Chick-fil-A by the San Antonio City Council has left citizens with no choice but to take this case to court,” Jonathan Saenz, president of conservative group Texas Values Action said of the lawsuit in a statement on Monday, as per The Texas Tribune. “Any other vendor that tries to replace Chick-fil-A at the airport will be doing so under a major cloud of long and costly litigation with the city.”

This lawsuit will test the new Texas law.

And, if the city wins against Chick-fil-A, it will show other Left-wing cities they can fight back against Christian business owners.

Chick-fil-A is the top-rated fast food chain in America.

So the Left’s only bet to stop their success is using their power within the government.

Do you think the Left should leave Chick-fil-A alone?

Chick-filA does not discriminate when hiring or serving customers and this evil harassment should be stopped immediate and compensation in the millions paid to Chick Fil A for the years of harassment.

Actually there are a few pertinent aspects of subsidies that are relevant...

...they are actually benefiting the biggest farm corporations, not the smaller farmers. The small farmers are getting token amounts that are not helping them.
...they are being horribly poorly administrated
...farmers are being hit with other failures such as weather that affect crops
...storing unsold crops isn't working

How long will subsidies be kept up when sales are down for years if not decades? Somehow I can see Trump not being re elected and the problems he created will come home to roost as a democrat problem.

Personally I think subsidies should be geared for only the smaller farmers, they do not have the extra profit margins that are inherently built into large scale farming. Small scale farmers could be getting enough to make a difference while the larger ones will survive just fine without any. At least 80% of the subsidies are going to large farm corporations, cut those subsidies and gear a way smaller amount to the farmers that need it.

This guy decided to make it perfectly clear who did what to whom on 9/11. He obviously was very offended at what Omar said. And no matter how much she tried to walk it back - she cannot unsay the words she's already said (scroll down for video - if sound is not on, click the little speaker icon at bottom left of video screen):
