AOC proves 'fact checkers' wrong about illegals getting stimulus checks

 Thomas Lifson:

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is having a rough week with Senator Ted Cruz.  Her vastly inflated opinion of her own intelligence has once again led her out on a limb that Cruz is only too willing and able to saw off for her.

In case you missed it, do take a look at her attempt to denigrate the Texas senator that ended disastrously for her.  This time, she was not aiming at Cruz, but rather, in her boasting about herself, she provided evidence that incriminated Democrat Senator Dick Durbin and assorted media "fact-checkers" for lying about Cruz.

AOC released a video in which she bragged about getting stimulus money to "huge amounts" of illegals.

We fought tooth and nail for the inclusion of undocumented people in relief packages, stimulus checks, FEMA assistance. And we've actually helped huge amounts of undocumented families in our district get federal relief that many others were trying to lock them out of.

...

 When he saw this video, the senator "pounced," as the Washington Post likes to say when conservatives reveal progressives' hypocrisy:


In fact, a year ago, when Senator Cruz first brought up the problem that illegals (not to mention prison inmates) were going to get stimulus money, he was viciously attacked, as these tweets demonstrate....

...

There is more.

In a contest of wits with Ted Cruz AOC appears disarmed.   So are the alleged "fact-checkers" who act as defense counsel for liberals in the media.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
