AOC Criticized For Her Bootstrapping Remarks

Conservatives blasted AOC for her remarks. Here's what started it off.

Important point by @AOC: "It’s a physical impossibility to lift yourself up by a bootstrap."

She's right. 60% of all wealth in America is inherited.

“Pull yourself up by the bootstraps” is a cruel joke. pic.twitter.com/UNmo0ttHwu

Here's her response...

I see that the right is worked up that we pointed out the myth of bootstrapping when 60% of the wealth in this country is *inherited.*

But hey, if you think I’m hopelessly dumb, try listening to MLK talk about “bootstrapping” & the racial wealth gap, too: pic.twitter.com/RHdSfzaJzH

I cannot begin to tell you the amount of internet memes portraying her as being stupid. She's anything but. I'm willing to bet conservatives are trying to get out in front of her over fears in a few years from now she will become age eligible to take a run for president. She already has a lot of supporters. Imagine how many more if she continues gaining momentum. I think this is why they constantly go after her viciously. I really truly wish AOC could face off with Donald Trump in a debate. Now that would be worth watching!

Stupid people don't speak this way...

The way I see it there are those in Washington who don't want to face things she forces them to. I also feel, if it weren't for her age, she'd stand a better chance then the current crop of Democrats in beating Donald Trump come the 2020 elections. She's just the kind of firebrand it takes to defeat Trump's outspoken fact-free mouth.

One last point.
Conservatives not only smear her with accusations of being stupid but label her as having communistic ideologies. No, she believes in something far different having little to nothing to do with what her opponents would rather have you think.





Although AOC is only 30 years old she speaks more intelligently and maturely then half of these old badgers I constantly see on TV currently holding office in Washington. Want to drain the swamp? To me she's the very definition of the person most capable of taking it head-on. Is it any wonder why then some of these swamp lizards speak so ill of her.

About The Iowa Caucus Mess

As of 7:00 AM here's what SLATE.COM SAYS- It’s still not totally clear the full extent of went wrong Monday night when Iowans went to caucus, but after the dust settled on the caucus that wasn’t, here’s what we know (so far)....

I have a far simpler explanation

It seems we in America are seeing ever increasing problems.
This just might be the explanation for them.

Oh boy are Republicans going to have a field day with this. I'm certain to hear something along the lines, "If Democrats can't even run one of their own elections, how are they expected to run the country?"

Who are the idiots that thought transmitting individual caucus results via the internet was a great idea. Jeesh.. talk about stupidity!

Unreal. A precinct secretary was on hold on the hotline for an hour and they took him off hold as he was talking to CNN. He didn't respond fast enough and they hung up on him. pic.twitter.com/hPgKhDge7i

Super Bowl Half Time Show

I'll admit I'm old but... Girls, put on your damn pants!
I'm not amused by all the crotch grabbing, spreading, twerking and ass shaking . I thought women libbers were beyond such things. Neither did the underage girls in cages representing Trump's incarceration escape my attention. Nor the amount of lip-syncing either.

Bruce Springsteen nor the Rolling Stones (to name but two) didn't employ these over produced distractions involving tons of dancers, fireworks and frankly the exploitation of women's body parts.

The whole thing seemed phony to me. Especially the so-called crowd surfing. If you paid close attention you would see only four handlers holding her for a specific time when they returned her to the stage. Not just some random fans. PHONY!

It was estimated the 12 minute show cost about $12 million dollars. If that's the best a million a minute can do may I suggest they host a raffle. How about awarding 12 fans attending the game a million dollars apiece instead? I'm sure attendee sports fans would appreciate this more then only a half of stadium who can see the show which is facing cameras. Those who didn't come or care about a bunch of girls wiggling their asses who were only there to see the game. I'll bet if they eliminated the half time show nobody would miss it except those who pocket the money for it. Am I alone on this?

Magnum At The Playpen Wildwood, NJ

Man does this bring back memories. Every vacation we made "The Playpen" a must stop. In this clip Tommy Zito performed Prince's "Let's Go Crazy".

1985





Unfortunately "The Playpen" on Diamond Beach was torn down and the club relocated to central Wildwood but it would never be the same. The Diamond Beach location had game rooms, multiple bars and a glass enclosed DJ dance area separate from the live concert stage you seen here.

Tommy Zito is still very active. If you're interesting in seeing him HERE'S HIS CONCERT SCHEDULE. He also has a bunch of videos on HIS YOUTUBE CHANNEL. He also maintains HIS OWN HOMEPAGE

Every summer he still returns to Wildwood, NJ. Here's a clip from October 2019 when he performed at "The Boardwalk Bar" where he still manages to excite his fans.
