In recent months, Israel has been facing a security challenge unlike anything in its modern history. As the country absorbed direct missile strikes from Iran, I found myself thinking not only about the immediate threat, but about something larger: what it will actually take to ensure the strength of Israel’s long-term future.

I have spent more than 30 years as an engineering researcher, and I often tell students and colleagues something that sometimes surprises them: engineering is the modern Zionism. I don’t say this as a rhetorical flourish. Israel’s primary national resource—the engine behind its economic strength, its defense capabilities, its drive to build and its global reputation—is the technical knowledge and ingenuity of its people. For the past two decades, that has been increasingly true. Right now, it is more obvious than ever.

Ah, memories. This is from 2021, when AOC attended the Met Gala. The cost of a ticket was $35,000 and her dress costs about $19,000 with a rental value of about $3000. Pretty hifalutin stuff.

AOC is on a roll. She’s talked about as a candidate for the Senate and even the Presidency. That would be interesting if she had even half a brain but every time she opens her mouth to pontificate nothing sensible comes out. She graduated from Boston University in 2011 with degrees in international relations and economics but never held or even pursued a job in the field of her majors.

Not long ago she gave us all a geography lesson

Then recently came the stream- nay, the torrent of consciousness.

She said that one cannot earn a billion dollars:

So a guy who comes to this country, starts a grocery store, works 80 hours a week providing people what they need grows his business through his efforts and becomes a billionaire didn’t earn it?

Did she “earn” her seat in Congress?

She dug out a thesaurus for this diatribe. What she should have dug out is a history book.

There were no billionaires at the time, but the richest man in the colonies, Robert Morris, helped fund the revolutionary war– for the Americans.

And you know who was another very wealthy man at the time?

George Washington.

The Revolutionary war was about taxation without representation, not aristocracy.

But this is the one that set me off

The Supreme didn’t overturn a map. It overturned an election.”

This right here is why AOC has no business in government. Majority rules- is it that simple?

Let’s play her game.

WHAT IF:

• A majority of America voted to strip away women’s right to vote?
• A majority of America voted to strip the right to vote from blacks or whites or Hispanics or Jews?
• A majority of America voted for all white voting districts?
•  A majority of America voted to deport AOC?

An overwhelming majority on America believes photo ID should be required for voting. Where’s that at?

We are NOT a democracy. We are a Republic and AOC is a big reason for that. We are a Republic to protect the minority from the tyranny of the majority. True democracies inevitably commit suicide.

John Adams on democracy:

“Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide. It is in vain to say that democracy is less vain, less proud, less selfish, less ambitious, or less avaricious than aristocracy or monarchy. It is not true, in fact, and nowhere appears in history. Those passions are the same in all men, under all forms of simple government, and when unchecked, produce the same effects of fraud, violence, and cruelty.”

What Tom Sowell said about democracy applies perfectly to AOC:

In a democracy, we have always had to worry about the ignorance of the uneducated. Today we have to worry about the ignorance of people with y degrees.

What are her ambitions? To change the country.

AOC sounds sincere. She also sounds like an ignorant, hypocritical twit and has no business being a representative in the US Congress.

But vapid or not, don’t underestimate how far she could go on looks alone.
