AOC, like all Leftists, sees racism everywhere. There are over 100,000 Afghans newly arrived in the United States to show she’s wrong.
“AOC says US should be treating all refugees the way the world is treating Ukrainian refugees,” by Sarah Al-Arshani, Business Insider, March 2, 2022:
Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said the US should be treating all refugees in the same way Ukrainian refugees are being treated worldwide.
“I think the world is watching and many immigrants and refugees are watching, and how the world treats Ukraine and Ukrainian refugees should be how we are treating all refugees in the United States,” Ocasio-Cortez told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow on Tuesday night.
Ocasio-Cortez said there was a stark difference between the treatment of Ukrainian refugees compared to how Syrian refugees were treated not that long ago.
“The way the world treated Syrian refugees versus the way the world is greeting Ukrainian refugees is a very stark contrast. I think the way we are looking at immediate granting of TPS (temporary protected status) which is what we need to be doing, as well as many others, is something that we need to keep in mind,” she said….
PRCS says
So, dear clueless twit, how many Ukrainians want to impose a theocracy upon the entire world?

Robert Frankling says
RACIST DEMS ! Now EVERYONE is a racist … even the Diktokrats too.
Looks like AOC wants to form her own party. The Diktokrats aren’t wok enough.
Let’s go, Brandon!
Let’s go AOC.
Time for the AOC PARTY.
Infidel says
I watched Rashida Tlaib’s address last night. Didn’t get the point of it, since she too was backing the ‘build back better’ agenda, and didn’t draw any differences b/w her ‘Working Family’s Party’ and the Democrats. And given how she had nothing to say against all the vaccine mandates or school CRT policies and so on, there’s no way her new party represents real working families at all
But yeah, I do hope that after November, a full scale civil war breaks out in the Democrat Party

Spot on, PRCS.
Westman says
Ukranians want to go back home to live, not for vacation.
john smith says
Agreed PRCS, and this clueless twit also fails to see the difference in gender of the Ukrainian and the Syrian refugee.
Ukrainian refugees, women and children.
Syrian refugees (I mean invaders) mostly young men.
PRCS says
She fails to see much.

Well stated, PRCS!

Greetings:
God, these Progressives !!! Searching every incident for a nano-second of agenda pushing.
My current favorite for the Ukraine hostilities came from Mark Owen off the France24 English language broadcast who announced (in one sentence) that persons of color were having trouble getting into Poland.
No reference to any sources what so ever. The BBC mentioned it Tuesday in a paragraph perhaps including the African Union as the source of the information.
Perhaps needless to say, but nothing further since.
Eleanor says
I have noticed that too — nothing else mentioned about Poland being racist — suddently gone very quiet. It doesn’t come under “racism” but I wouldn’t blame Poland for not taking any muslim refugees — let muslim countries play their part and take them in.
Westman says
I remember reading that minorities were complaining about a “Ukranians First” policy while leaving Ukraine at the border. AOC would call it racist because to a race hustler, everything is racist.
somehistory says
This know-it-all idiot should read the latest by Mr. Daniel Greenfield. He has written about the *special* “afghan act”…I believe it has the word “refugee” between afghan and act…but I read it very early today and I’ve done stuff since then.
Anyway, there is movement by some…probably the likes of this ugly fool…who want to just allow nearly 40,000 afghans who do not have any special reasons for being here….no work with the military, or other Americans doing interpreting for anyone, etc. no special VISA’s or any papers at all; the group that the wonderful taliban members gave the go-ahead to get on the planes and come straight here…they didn’t stop in some other country and they have not been vetted…not even a little bit….
but this “act” being written esp for them, would make them eligible to become citizens right away…no waiting for two years..
She has her physical eyes wide open…she thinks it makes her look wise…but her mental eyes, her understanding, her comprehension, and esp her desire to do the ***right*** thing are all shut tight and held with a rusty lock.. Lost key might be found behind the bar.
The so-called ‘syrians” poured in from everywhere….from Africa, from other ME countries….all claiming to be syrian and fleeing a war….in which many would have probably been fighting against the government and in favor of the terror groups such as al queda and pretending to be teenagers, while pushing fifty and needing all kinds of dental work that would prove their age…and it did, but that fact was called a “phobia.” and the fifty-year-old teens were allowed to stay and get “schooling” with the young girls and be paid a welfare check and given nice places to live, while old citizens were kicked to the curb by their governments.
But, this lying idiot doesn’t know the truth, doesn’t care about truth and evidently, “can’t handle (any) the truth.”.
Wellington says
Prediction, somehistory: This silly bint will never learn. She will keep pushing her nonsense about climate, racism, how horrible America is, et al. for the rest of her life. She is beyond redemption and I hold out no hope for this poor excuse for a human being ever becoming something substantive.
But she is not the main problem, not even close. The main problem is all the ignoramuses out there who admire this vapid and clueless nothing.
Freedom survives best with as much of an informed public as possible. Right now, this is a declining percentage in America and thus only aids the fool who is AOC.
Fluid times, no doubt. And a reversal of such “fluidity” had better occur soon in a very opposite direction lest monumental nothings like AOC, a pompous, clueless twit, gets her way (which tragically could happen, principally because the Democratic Party and the MSM have lost their collective mind).
Man often times is an idiot. AOC in microcosm demonstrates this par excellence. Oh yeah, better prepare because—like, you know—the Earth is going to end in 12 years, now I believe down to 9 since this idiot first moronically opined about this. Time for a beer.

somehistory says
Wellington,
Her kind, the likes of pelosi, schumer, biden, “bo,” and the rest, make me think they didn’t get enough time out behind the wood shed. Neither were they made to work for stuff. And tending bar, in the case of this fool, doesn’t count because she, didn’t do it long enough, and began with an elevated opinion of herself.
Last night, I listened to Glenn Beck and a bunch of guys talking about biden’s boring lies in his “sotu” speech.
Pat…cant recall his last name…said that he doesn’t “hate” anyone because he thinks it’s wrong to hate. But, when it comes to biden, he “dislikes him with the intensity of …(I believe he said 100) suns.”
That about sizes it up for me with this woman and her ilk.
As for “liking” the likes of her, I know this may sound crazy, but I believe a large part of that is propaganda.
I watched a program once where people were in a room, sitting at desks, waiting for a speaker or some such, but it was an experiment and only one man was out of the loop.
While they sat, smoke began pouring under the door. No one seemed to notice anything…except the one guy who was out of the loop. He got a really worried look on his face and was looking around the room, anxiety building because no one else was looking at the building smoke.
Another part of the program had another guy out of the loop in a room where the participants were asked a question. Someone raised a hand and gave an obvious wrong answer. the “instructor” asked if others agreed and, everyone he asked, agreed with the wrong answer. The out of the loop guy wanted to say it was wrong, but was afraid to. Just like the guy in the room with the smoke.
People are afraid to step out of line and call attention to the wrong because propaganda says this idiot knows what she is doing and if they point out that she is a fool, a narcissist, an evil creature, they’ll be attacked.
Enjoy your drink. I have iced tea. It’s been a long day for me.
Doomer says
The latest about Ukraine is that( according to Russian journalist Boris Karpov):
The peace talks seem to be successful and Zelensky would agree to:
1. Recognize CRIMEA as part of Russia
2. Recognize the independence of the Republics of Lugansk and Donetsk
3. Get rid of the AZOV regiment,the 4,000 Nazi group that is part of the Ukrainian governement.
And Putin would agree to let Ukraine become a member of the EUROPEAN UNION, but on condition it be demilitarized.
Here stupid Biden is interfering, telling Zelensky NOT to accept any peace till the Russians leave Ukraine.
Karpov also says:
1. Zelensky has said 16,000 foreign volunteers are about to join the Ukrainian army to fight, they will receive 3 days of training, a kalashnikov and then off to the killing fields.
2. Zelensky also said the FRENCH FOREIGN LEGION will join his army.
gravenimage says
Doomer, thinking that occupation by Russia means “peace” for Ukraine is mistaken. It actually would mean conquest.
Doomer says
I have talked to 2 Ukrainian women,and somebody I know also repeated the same thing,saying he heard it in a video,and I have searched but it seems it has been erased by the mainstream press and it is this:
Just before the war ,Zelensky had publicly said that he wanted to make Ukraine a member of NATO AND to have Ukraine get nuclear bombs.
The two Ukrainian women told me they were surprised he made that declaration,and that it was the excuse Putin needed to invade. They said they don’t know what Zelensky was thinking of when he said it, with 170,000 Russian soldiers at the border.
gravenimage says
Doomer, if Zelensky had really been stumping for developing nukes in order to bomb Moscow it would not be possible to scrub all references from the internet. I can find no such reference. That two random Ukrainian women say this is so is not exactly proof.
Then, even if this unsubstantiated claim was accurate, if this was grounds for war then we would have invaded the Soviet Union and Iran many times over.
So far, Putin has said he invaded because of Russian-speaking Ukrainians–never mind that Zelensky himself is a Russian-speaker; that he had to take out the tiny neo-Nazi “Azov Battalion” (estimated at a few hundred at most); the Ukraine might join NATO at some point, even though she has made no move to even apply for many years now; or, now, that Ukraine somehow has nukes, despite getting rid of them all 30 years ago. I’ve even heard the bizarre claim that he is going in to prevent Ukraine from allying with Communists–not sure who they’d be, though…
Of course, Russia has always considered Ukraine a vassel state–and now believed that the West–the US especially–was weak enough to say nothing if he invaded. This last seems most likely the reason.
Doomer says
a. Some of those 16,000 are now known to be mercenaries, like what happened in IRAK, hired killers. Those mercenaries are from the following American companies:
« Academy », « Kubik » and « Dean Corporation ».
b. The US and Western Europe is sending specialized equipment to Ukraine, that can only be handled by trained people,in other words the mercenaries, men who only fight for high pay.
c. Putin has said it will NOT consider those mercenaries to be prisoners of war, they will be EXECUTED if captured.
Wellington says
Sorry, Doomer, but I think you are functioning in La-La land. Anything Putin promises means NOTHING. His word is as good as Hitler’s was. Oh yes, give me the Sudetenland and that will be my last demand of territory in Europe. Oh yes, acknowledge Crimea as part of Russia, demilitarize, blah, blah, blah, and I will behave.
Really, Doomer, are you truly this simplistic? You are echoing the stupidity of Chamberlain and not the wisdom of Churchill.
Doomer says
No, Putin is not the same as Hitler. If he were the head of a communist Soviet Union then yes,the parallel would be appropriate.
Or a better parallel would be STALIN and how how conquered eastern Europe after the war.
If Putin were a Hitler or Stalin he would have already used the atomic bomb.Stalin,if he had had the atomic bomb,would have 100% used it against Germany.
Or if Stalin had the bomb and the US never did,Stalin would have used it.
Zelensky has said a group of 400 mercenaries was sent by Putin to kill him, but it was destroyed.He said he was warned by a Russian military source.
He hasn’t shown any evidence.More likely it was a propaganda trick by Putin. Zelensky was told it was true,but nothing was done, psychological warfare.
Or maybe it is all an invention of Zelensky.
Wellington says
You really are more and more functioning in fantasy land, Doomer. Frankly, I’m beginning to get tired of you.
gravenimage says
Agreed, Wellington.

You need to stop posting fake news. The second round of talks in Gomel broke down
Speaking of which, bad as the Russians are, I find the Belarussians even more despicable. They’ve allowed Russia to use their turf to attack Ukraine, President Lukashenko has said he’d join in the war whenever Moscow asks, and according to some reports today, is planning to invade Moldova, which he can only do by crossing Lviv in West Ukraine. Belarus is a country far smaller than Ukraine, but acting tough against it just to make Moscow happy. I really wish someone would launch an attack on them and take out their military, or President Lukashenko. That might distract the Russians from their desired conquest of Ukraine
raja says
Infidel,
That’s a good proposition. Wish Belarus and other noise-making nations are fixed so the focus can be devoted to Russia.

AOC: ‘Stark contrast’ between treatment of Syrian and Ukrainian refugees
…………
Ukrainians are real refugees, and mean no harm to the people giving them asylum–also, most of them will return to Ukraine if she regains her freedom. Not so with the invading Muslims.
Infidel says
Not to mention, only women and children have been leaving Ukraine, while men have been banned from leaving. Today, I saw a report on Newsmax where a Ukrainian-American (ethnic Ukrainian w/ US passport) dropped his wife and kid in Poland, is getting his father and brother-in-law to join him w/ humanitarian packages as well as arms, and then planning to go back to Ukraine. Their goal clearly is to get back to Ukraine ASAP once the Russians are gone, be it voluntarily or by force
There’s also the small factoid that Poland is right next to Ukraine, and it’s not like Ukrainians are refusing to stop at Poland and insisting on a ticket to the US or Western Europe – the way muslims do
gravenimage says
Also true, Infidel. Mostly the only men leaving are those over 60, and a few who are too disabled to fight.
Infidel says
I see that RS has now started Left Watch, in addition to Jihad Watch. Reminds me of the days when this site had Jihad Watch and Dhimmi Watch.
Shouldn’t ‘Left Watch’ be on the left of the home page?
James Lincoln says
Infidel,
It depends on your perspective.
If I look at a chest x-ray, it is viewed as if the person in the x-ray is facing you.
Think of it as all of those Leftists facing you.
Infidel says
Good point
somehistory says
Because I read from left to right, I would rather the JW be on the left side of the reading page so I see it first. Today, it is opposite and the LW is the first read. Can’t have everything as I wish, however, so I’ll just have to adapt.
Infidel says
I do like the Left Column being… the left column. Seems to make more sense
To this day, though, I’ve had trouble accepting Dems as blue and GOP as red. Since the Cold War, I associated red w/ communist, and even in European countries, say UK, red is the color of the Labour Party while blue is the Tories. That makes more sense than the US standard, where the MSM decided to assign blue to the Dems to pretend that they weren’t the Leftist wackos they always were and are (talking about since 1990)
gravenimage says
This reminds me of when Jihad Watch was split into “Jihad Watch” and “Dhimmi Watch”.
Doomer says
Here is the latest video by Jimmy Dore where he states his case of why he believes it is true neo-Nazis are in Zelensky’s government. It begins with a video with a speech by YEVHEN KARAS,the head of C-14,a paramilitary Nazi group.
Yevhen Karas says his group was the real power that made the Maiden coup of 2014 possible, the one that overthrew the pro-Russian president.
Karas also says now they are fighting the Russians ( the speech was 1 month ago)
Plus about other groups. It seems reasonably solid.
“Ukraine Neo-Nazis Infiltrate EVERY LEVEL Of Military & Government”

Doomer says
To read a counterargument check out this by an American Thinker writer:
“About Those ‘Neo-Nazis’ in Ukraine”
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2022/03/about_those_neonazis_in_ukraine.html
The writer says some Azov soldiers are neo-Nazis but it is not the whole group.
a. What is lacking is info there about C-14. Which is undeniably part of the 3rd biggest political party in Ukraine ( though still small,the Svoboda Party).
It was formed in 1991 under the name “Social-National Party of Ukraine” by Oleh Tyahnybok. Now it is called All-Ukrainian Union “Freedom” where Freedom is
«Свобода» ( “Svoboda” )
c. And C-14 or Freedom-14 ( Свобода-14 ) ( Svoboda 14 )and the Ukrainian government work together. And C-14 is the youth wing of the Svoboda party.
d. The 14 is in reference to “The Fourteen Words” (also abbreviated 14 or 14/88) are two fourteen-word white separatist slogans by neo-nazi DAVID LANE.
He is now in prison for terrorism (190 years) and was one of nine founding members of the defunct American domestic terrorist group The Order.
There are sevreal sayings,each containing 14 words,and the most famous is:
“”We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children” ( 14 words)
Another is: “Because the beauty of the White Aryan woman must not perish from the earth”(14 words)
The article doesn’t mention C-14.

The war has given birth to several videos and photos that we now know don’t have credibility or partly-so: the Ghost of Kiev, Russian tank crushing a car ( it turned out to be a Ukrainian tank),
journalist killed in the war, Ukrainian man crying as he left his child,etc.

“the way the world is treating Ukrainian refugees”
Look at a map of where Ukrainian refugees are going. It isn’t the countries of the world.
Cortez has an unhealthy obsession with White people. White people have history of coming to the aid of other White people and she is envious of that. It is extremely rare to see see poc countries taking in refugees or coming to the aid of each other. When the going gets tough poc men go running leaving women and children behind to fend for themselves. She is clueless that she is the poster child of why the people of white countries don’t want to take her kind in. I believe America has been too welcoming and she proves that. There are foreigners that are good for America and foreigners that are bad for America.
White people have a right to self determination without having poc bitches like her constantly hating on them. Why doesn’t the bitch go back to Puerto Rico which has never been a real country in the true sense of the word? The only thing many of these pocs bring to America is divisiveness and that is something Americans don’t need and would be much happier and better off without.
She was elected to support the people of her tiny district in America not to be a critic of international affairs. So do your job you useless oxygen thief.
somehistory says
Yes, it’s getting really tiresome hearing the worthless complain about those who have worked to make life better, as if having a darker skin tone makes them an authority on everything with the *right* to tell other people how to live and behave in every aspect of life.
I’ve known a lot of “poc,” and been friends with many for a long, long time. Some are dear friends and I have in my family, bi-racial individuals whom I love.
But, i don’t need strangers and worthless idiots like this so-called “rep” telling me how to behave toward others. She should just learn…which she probably is incapable of doing…to mind her own business and stop sticking her loud mouth into every conversation. If she stopped talking so much, some might forget how stupid she really is.
Her parents should have taught her the “seen and not heard” rule for those who know less than nothing.
tgusa says
Yep. Really sick and tired of those types.I don’t know why democrats run for office in America when they have so many people in their party who are obviously not Americans.

Another good point, tgusa. Ukrainians are almost entirely fleeing to neighboring countries, not “shopping” for the best welfare deals as Muslim migrants regularly do.
