You’ll never guess who Brandon Johnson, the mayor of Chicago, is blaming for his city’s problems.
AOC is really dumb.
And the Great Replacement theory is no longer a white supremacist conspiracy theory.
Dumbass of the Day
109 people were shot this weekend with 19 killed including an 8-year-old boy.
She’s So Dumb
According to ABC News:
New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has introduced articles of impeachment against Supreme Court Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas.
Ocasio-Cortez has long criticized multiple conservative members of the Supreme Court, but the rhetoric of impeachment was amped up in the wake of recent rulings, including the court’s decision on presidential immunity.
“The unchecked corruption crisis on the Supreme Court has now spiraled into a Constitutional crisis threatening American democracy writ large,” Ocasio-Cortez said in a statement. “Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito’s pattern of refusal to recuse from consequential matters before the court in which they hold widely documented financial and personal entanglements constitutes a grave threat to American rule of law, the integrity of our democracy, and one of the clearest cases for which the tool of impeachment was designed.”
Ocasio-Cortez specifically criticized gifts Thomas received from his friend, billionaire Harlan Crow.
“Clarence Thomas, in his conduct as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, engaged in high crimes and misdemeanors, by refusing to report the source, description, and value of gifts, and by failing to report of real estate property,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote in the articles, going on to list gifts he did not reportedly reveal.
Thomas acknowledged in his latest annual financial report, released in June, that he had “inadvertently omitted” reimbursement for food and lodging expenses for the July 2019 travel.
More Bad Policies
According to the National Review:
House Republicans and a handful of Democrats passed legislation on Wednesday requiring proof of U.S. citizenship in order to vote, a top GOP priority that Democratic leadership strongly opposed.
The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act was supported by 216 Republicans and five Democrats, with 198 Democratic lawmakers opposing the bill. It is unlikely to go anywhere in the Democratic-controlled Senate.
The SAVE Act would require voters to provide proof of citizenship including a valid photo ID and documentation such as a birth certificate.
Republicans have warned of illegal immigrants potentially registering to vote and casting ballots in national elections this year. Although documentary proof of citizenship is not required for federal voter registration forms, it is illegal to falsely claim oneself to be a U.S. citizen.
Noncitizen voting is not a widely documented phenomenon, but some deep-blue locales have passed laws permitting it. The left-wing Brennan Center found 30 suspected cases of noncitizen voting out of 23.5 million votes across 42 jurisdictions in the 2016 election.
“Over the past four years, Joe Biden has welcomed millions upon millions of illegals into the country knowing that noncitizens only have to check a box to vote in a federal election,” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R., La.) said in a statement.
The Democrats fought hard to stop this thing from passing.

Frigging Perverts
According to the Post Millennial:
Legislation increasing penalties for people who solicit, agree to engage in, or engage in any act of commercial sex with a minor is being opposed by a group of activists, claiming that it disproportionately harms minorities and the LGBTQ community. The bill has also been watered down from its original punitive measures.
Activists opposed the legislation that would make a felony to purchase or solicit children for sex, claiming during public testimony on the legislation that “SB 1414 takes an overly punitive approach that fails to address the root causes of these issues and will not effectively stop sexual violence.”
Senate Bill 1414 passed a vote in the Public Safety Committee last week. State Sen. Shannon Grove originally proposed making it a felony for someone to solicit teenagers 17 and younger, however, the bill was watered down by the committee to exclude those ages 16 and 17.
The committee later revised the bill to include 16- and 17-year-olds, but with the caveat that prosecutors now must prove that the 16- or 17-year-olds were not only solicited for sex but also are victims of sex trafficking.
Grove told KCRA 3 that the change to put 16 and 17-year-olds back in the bill is just political showmanship. “I think Kevin McCarty is looking for a way to put 16- and 17-year-olds back in the bill and say he was successful, but he only damaged them further.” The question still remains as to what form the bill will ultimately pass.
