I DON'T KNOW THAT I'VE EVER AGREED WITH NANCY PELOSI ON ANYTHING, but she was right to mock Alexandria Ocasio Cortez's 'Green New Deal'.

Mother Hen is going to have trouble with her new "chick-lets".
THE GREEN NEW DEAL IS INSPIRING ... laughter. Rolling on the floor with tears in your eyes laughter.
By the end of the Green New Deal resolution (and accompanying fact sheet) I was laughing so hard I nearly cried. If a bunch of GOPers plotted to forge a fake Democratic bill showing how bonkers the party is, they could not have done a better job.
The tweet by Kim Strassel is the first of 6 or 7; check out the rest here.

Their fact fantasy sheet is here in the tulip garden, surrounded by a herd of unicorns.

And then there's the cost. For the sake of argument, let's assume that the Green New Deal is possible within the proposed time frame (Stop laughing!). Further, assume that money is just ink on paper (Dammit, I said stop laughing!). I seriously doubt there are enough trees in the U.S. to make the paper to print the money needed.

But other than that....
HEH: "[W]hat are the odds there’s a yearbook somewhere with a picture of Liz [Warren] in blackface?" I don't know about blackface, but warpaint?
THERE'S THAT HISTORY THING AGAIN: the return of ancient prejudices.
IF YOU ARE A SOCIAL JUSTICE WARRIOR, go pound sand.
SO WHEN IS SHE GOING TO BE KICKED OFF 'THE VIEW'? Photo of Joy Behar in blackface resurfaces.

UPDATE: Joy Behar faces the Victory Girls.
INSTAPUNDIT'S GLENN REYNOLDS bashes the Washington Post editorial staff for their Northam hypocrisy.
Hey, WaPo editorial board — remember how you pushed Northam as some sort of racial healer, while gleefully spreading the bullshit claims that longtime milquetoast GOP pol Ed Gillespie was some sort of Stormfront stalking horse? Maybe you should resign, too, hacks. Don’t try to pretend this is just about the rottenness of Virginia’s Democratic Party. You’re part of the rot yourselves.
PowerLine links to the Post editorial itself; I can't won't because I refuse to open my adblocker to them for tracking (though perhaps I should; they might learn something by following my links...).
SOCIAL JUSTICE IS NEITHER.

It's time again for that double-edged sword thingy; I'm old enough to remember when "The Moral Majority is Neither" was the catch phrase the Liberals used to diss conservatives, particularly Christian conservatives, back in my day.

Keep in mind, Millennials, that history can will be used against you if you persist in ignoring it.
THE RISE OF PEOPLE who actually say (and do) things. Unfortunately these folks are mostly on the Right side of the political spectrum. Now if only those on the Left would catch on, something* might actually get accomplished.

*I was going to write 'something useful' but that's probably a pipe dream....
POWERLINE CATCHES Nancy Pelosi 'coaching' her millennial twits. She would better serve America by throwing them under Hillary's bus....
PAVLOV'S CAT(S): We have six....

Update: I don't wear bunny slippers. Or suspenders. Otherwise the cartoon is accurate.
