My latest in PJ Media:
As her Squadmates Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar grow progressively more notorious with each passing anti-Semitic comment, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s star has somewhat faded in the Leftist firmament. However, vindication has come at last for AOC. The Independent reported Tuesday that Islamic State (ISIS) jihadists had “rigged cows with explosives in an attack on Iraqi security forces, in what is thought to be the first time the group has weaponised cattle.” When I read that, the first thing I thought was Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was right all along. How, oh how, could we ever have doubted the socialist wunderkind?
“The two cows,” reported the Independent, “were strapped with explosives belts and were heading towards a military checkpoint in Diyala province when Iraqi soldiers opened fire and ‘blew them up.’”
AOC (D-N.Y.) was buried under an avalanche of ridicule when she unveiled her “Green New Deal” program. And it certainly seemed well-deserved at the time. The FAQ provided by Ocasio-Cortez’s office spoke of the United States providing “economic security for all,” including not just those who were “unable,” but also those who were “unwilling” to work. Who could object? Surely The Rich will cheerfully pony up to support these contemplatives in the manner to which they have become accustomed – and if they don’t, they’ll have to face the consequences with which socialists have always rewarded dissenters.
AOC’s plan also promised that the United States would become able within the next few years “to fully get rid of farting cows and airplanes.” Everyone laughed. Get rid of “farting cows”? But now we see how far-seeing the Green New Deal plan really is: no cows, no ISIS explosives. No ISIS explosives and peace will reign throughout the world.
There is much more. Read the rest here.

Same old long lived …story……”STUPID PEOPLE DO AND SAY STUPID THINGS”
This woman has no business being in congress…same thing for her coherent….but and there Is always a BUT, the people who put them in office have to take a big the blame for their antics.
Angemon says
As Nancy Pelosi noted, even a glass of water with a D next to it would win AOC’s district. As long as the Democrats believe going far left is the way forward (and they seem to be doubling down on it, with many presidential candidates supporting giving free healthcare to illegals), AOC and the rest of the squad are not going anywhere.
Leslie Fish says
Just “cows” or all cattle? Does that include bulls and steers? Abominable!
Jap says
She is just walking in the footsteps of the last prophet, teetering between insanity and hypocrisy. If she was a member of the public she would by now either be in a mental health facility or jail.
But no, she is a mouthpiece for a twisted side of your country. It’s no wonder the US is in deep trouble.
tgusa says
What does she have against farting cows? I heard she is quite the room clearer herself. However, we are facing a sticky issue with poop on the sidewalk in dem run cities. I have always believed that if you bring in farting cows and get rid of democrats the air quality (and the environment) will improve considerably. After all, we only have 12 years of clean sidewalks left.

They use cows? We’ll use pigs. It’s time to bring out those “flying pigs” we’ve heard so much about.

Does the A-10 Warthog count as a pig? ISIS really hates them.

tim gallagher says
I realise that people can have still photos taken of them where they are trapped with embarrassing types of expression on their faces, but there seem to be so many images of this politician where she looks extraordinarily over the top in her facial expressions that it is amazing. I suppose her supporters would say she is just showing passion, but she often seems to look a bit unhinged. But, as you point out, Robert, she turns out not to be nuts but, rather, brilliant, with her plan to get rid of farting cows and put those devils from ISIS out of business and give us world peace. She’ll probably win the Nobel Peace Prize. Imagine the insane, over the top expression she’ll have on her face when she goes up to receive her Nobel Peace Prize. But seriously, I’m in Australia and don’t really know much about her, so I’d ask the Americans on Jihad Watch, is she a bit unhinged, because she certainly often looks that way.
tgusa says
“is she a bit unhinged”
Quite a bit.
“The United States is running concentration camps on the southern border. And that is exactly what they are. They are concentration camps,” she said. “And if that doesn’t bother you, I don’t, I got nothing. Like we can have — I wanna talk to the people who are concerned enough with humanity and that never again means something” AOC
tim gallagher says
Thanks for the comments, tgusa and Trevor. What you mention about her saying about the “concentration camps” on the US border isn’t all that different to the attitudes that the Greens and the left wingers in the Australian Labor party have to our government, when it stops illegal boat arrivals from staying in Australia. Here, they are sent to islands (Nauru and Christmas island) off the coast and the lefties cry foul. Actually, I should say they were sent there, because we’ve had few illegals arriving on boats in recent years. I don’t think anyone has actually said they were “concentration camps”, but they are very critical of the government stopping the illegal arrivals. I imagine there must be the same thing in Europe, which is being invaded. People like the Pope seem to say, hey, let them all in. But with Ocasio-Cortez, it is the over the top facial expressions that strike me. Our lefties say idiotic garbage (well, in my opinion) but they don’t look as crazy as Ocasio-Cortez does when they are saying them. The words you quote Ocasio-Cortez as saying certainly show her to be inarticulate.
tgusa says
Welcome.
The Greens and the left wingers crying foul, same here.
They want to bring in illegals, showering them with all our amenities, increasing their and our carbon footprint, to save the planet, or something???
I have to step away for a few, got a virgin waiting to be sacrificed to the local Volcano, to save the planet, gotta do my part you know.

With all that manic enthusiasm, perhaps she will have a post-congress job selling OxyClean?
Wellington says
One of her strengths like, other than the fools that still back her, is that she, like, makes so many idiotic comments, like, that this plethora of idiocy, like, by AOC is hard, like, to keep up with—like.
In other words, her massive deficiencies are, like, so numerous that by the time you, like, answer one of them she has moved, like, on to a new idiocy and it is hard, like, to keep pace.
OMG, is she, like, awful. But she is indeed, like, “supremely awful” and herein lies, like, not only her greatest weakness, like, but her greatest advantage, like, because there are tons of the millennial generation, like, who, like, agree with her.
tim gallagher says
Yes, Wellington, the quote from her that tgusa included up above, “I don’t, I got nothing. Like we can have…,” and so on, is appalling and, if she is often that inarticulate, I wonder how she was elected to her position. Because I knew nothing about her, I glanced at her Wikipedia info and it says she graduated cum laude in international studies and economics, I think it was, from Boston University. However, it is mainly the crazed look she often seems to have which strikes me. I want to add that I enjoy many of your very knowledgeable contributions here at Jihad Watch.
Westman says
It is rare that outstanding memory and outstanding logic are found in the same person. In AOC’s case it’s all memory and terrible logic. Everything she says is, more or less, coupled sentences from memory, a kind of endless store of memorized propaganda. If her academics were in STEM subjects, where memory is not enough, I would be impressed.
Her handler, Saikat Chakrabarti, apparently had enough of her and moved on. To hear her side, of course, she was the brains and sent him packing. He is now busy trying to find other potential DEM candidates that might unseat current GOP congressmen.
She is passionate, as are most manic-depressives, and the facial expressions are not unusual for mania.
tim gallagher says
Thanks for the comment, Westman. I think you’ve probably summed her up perfectly. It is alarming that such people can be elected. I was thinking that candidates need to make speeches when they are campaigning for election and I would have thought AOC would have been too inarticulate to be elected. Not that smooth speech making should be all that important, ( to me, Obama always seemed like a very smooth, silver-tongued salesman with no real content) but she does seem to lack the ability to put forward arguments cogently. I’m sure you are right about how she simply comes out with memorised propaganda, etc. I’m sure you are right about the over the top facial expressions as well. Good, like, one, like, Paul J.

The facile, flippant fool AOC doesn’t know that her Muslim allies eat TWICE AS MUCH MEAT than she ever did … read on … MUSLIMS are causing per capita DOUBLE THE GLOBAL WARNING as others.
– Muslims consume TWICE as much meat as most other humans due to yearly animal sacrifices and a meat-eating culture. If average meat consumption per Muslim household is 2000 servings per year, with 200 M households the yearly global meat consumption of Muslims is 400 B servings equal to 100 servings per animal for estimated total of 4 B animals killed for Muslims alone per year. Meat production for Muslims is thus a significant contributor to global warming due to flatulence of animals and overuse of environment, water, vegetation, transportation fuel, etc.
-Note: Muslim households spend $31 per week on halal meat products. This is almost double the average North American household meat expenditure of $17 per week.
-Note: there are 20 billion head of livestock on earth, 5 times more than the number of people. According to the Worldwatch Institute, global livestock population has increased 60 percent since 1961, and the number of fowl being raised for food has nearly quadrupled in the same time period, from 4.2 billion to 15.7 billion.
-Note: more damaging than vehicle emissions – methane production from animals is 18% of greenhouse gases = destruction of ozone.
-CRUELTY: In 2003, the Farm Animal Welfare Council [FAWC], an independent advisory group, concluded that the way halal and kosher meat is produced causes severe suffering to animals and should be banned immediately. FAWC argued that cattle required up to two minutes to bleed to death when such means are employed. The Chairperson of FAWC at the time, Judy MacArthur Clark, added, “this is a major incision into the animal and to say that it doesn’t suffer is quite ridiculous.”

Robert Spenser: “AOC’s … ‘No cows’ means no ISIS exploding cows.”
Robert Spencer hits nail on head. Good.
Battle says
If veterinarians OK it, the left is going to just hate how much business they just generated to cut down on all the gas, by increased charcoal capsule production & sales to all the cattlemen, dairy farmers and chicken farmers.
Lord, I love it.
Battle says
I hope the Iraqi courts can keep terrorists in prison longer by also charging captured terrorists with additional charges of felony animal abuse. Two cows, two additional charges.

Abuse of animals is rife in the Muslim world, so I would not count on this, Battle.

I.Q. test for A.O.C.:
Select the answer below that will MOST LIKELY ensure more peace in the world and less violence:
A. Get rid of ISIS
B. Get rid of cows
Her thinking: hmmm, less cows, less meat production better for new green deal, and oh yeah, less cows for isis to blow up! I will choose B! After all, A would be ‘islamophobic,’ and therefore not politically correct, and I need to be PC for the election…
Answer key:
A= Aced test
B= Bombed test
(added irony… ‘bombed’ to indicate more violence and less peace, isis planting bombs in cows, etc…)

No cows means no beef, burgers, cheese, sour cream, yogurt, ice cream, etc. There goes a huge chunk of the food and hospitality industry. Here think no JOBS in production, manufacturing and supplying the final consumer. So now who is going to pay for all the freebies, AOC & Co.? “Brilliant” ideas have consequences.
underbed cat says
I remember reading an article about a good number of cows being sold to Saudi Arabia a few years ago. I was thinking they will be subjected to a halal and found that inhumane, gruesome but to martyr a cow to kill humans is( apostasy) for the loss of faith jihadist , I hope, Only better than using children for their times up faith.
gravenimage says
Saudi Arabia buys a lot of animals on the hoof from Australia specifically so they can slaughter them cruelly.
tim gallagher says
Yes, gravenimage, it is a damned shame that Australia and Australian farmers do need the money that they make from the live export of sheep to revolting, barbaric Muslim countries. I agree with your comment up above about how animal cruelty is such a part of Islam. It is no surprise though, is it. Islam is so barbaric in all regards. Just seems satanically evil in so many ways. This live export situation became a big issue in Australia for a while, when a TV program showed the appalling cruelty the animals went through. However, when the government ended some of this export, quite a lot of farmers had their incomes destroyed immediately. Australia’s economy isn’t going that well with huge debt, etc. I guess it was a case of beggars can’t be choosers. Farmers, trying to raise their families, needed the market. I think there were some improvements made to the conditions of the animals on the ships. Our own societies have people who are extremely cruel to animals as well, which is sickening, but Islam, yet again, is the worst in terms of animal cruelty, as with every aspect of life. Of course, I think it would be wonderful to have nothing to do with Islam at all. If only that were possible.
gravenimage says
I wasn’t blaming the ranchers, Tim, who are just trying to make a living. But this is disgusting, and Australians *should* be outraged over this cruelty.
tim gallagher says
No, I didn’t think you were blaming the farmers, gravenimage. I was sickened by the footage I saw on the TV report of the Muslim treatment of the sheep, but I also thought, well, I guess beggars can’t be choosers and the farmers need the trade. I think they made a few improvements to the conditions on the ships, although I have memories of sadistic, vicious Muslims, once the sheep were off the ships, manhandling the animals in a revolting way. Like quite a lot of people, I tend to be someone who likes animals more than I like many people, maybe most people, so I was appalled. I don’t know, in an ideal world, as I said above, I’d love to have nothing to do with anything Islamic, but, then again, in my ideal world, islam wouldn’t exist at all. It would have disappeared centuries ago the way other primitive, barbaric ideologies have disappeared. As I said above, I don’t think Australia’s economy is great, so maybe this country has to make deals with the devil. I suppose most countries trade with disgusting, very repressive countries. What I wrote above was sort of me having an argument with myself. This issue of the live sheep export trade was quite a while back now (could even be almost 10 years ago) and hasn’t been in the news for years now. I suppose that, in the USA, you have all this halal approved killing of animals at abattoirs, just as here in Australia. Islam’s attitude to everything always seems unnecessarily cruel, that’s for sure. It poisons everything. Mostly, for many years, I have written to our politicians for years calling on them to stop letting Muslims into the country. I don’t specifically campaign about the live sheep exports,etc.
gravenimage says
I think we should isolate Dar-al-Islam as much as possible.
Sami Uddin says
I get so tired of hearing about this bimbo in the media. She isn’t qualified to be in politics since she has no idea what she’s doing. Having 2 degrees in economics and international affairs doesn’t make you an expert since she doesn’t know shit about economics or foreign affairs, which I’m sure her alma mater is ashamed of till this day. She needs to be voted out of office and go back to bar tending, because if she was in office this country would be screwed.
