SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – AT 11:47 P.M. ET: 

IDIOTS – FROM THE HILL:   Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Tom Perez said Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez represents the “future of our party” on Tuesday."I have three kids. Two of them are daughters — one just graduated college, one who is in college. And they were both texting me about their excitement over Alexandria because she really — she represents the future of our party," Perez said on "The Bill Press Show."  Ocasio-Cortez, a 28-year-old self-proclaimed democratic socialist and organizer with Sen. Bernie Sanders's (I-Vt.) presidential campaign, rose to fame after defeating incumbent Rep. Joseph Crowley (D) in a stunning primary upset last week.  Ocasio-Cortez ran as a socialist, a polite term these days for a Marxist.  She won the Democratic Party nomination for Congress with the support of fewer than 10% of her district's Democrats, not exactly a national revolution.  She's a professional Israel hater.  Scratch her down deep, I think you'll find plenty of hatred for America as well. 

MR. PERFECT HAS A PROBLEM – FROM THE NEW YORK POST:    Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been accused of groping a reporter eighteen years ago — but claims he doesn’t recall any ‘negative interactions’ from that day, reports said.  At a fundraiser to support avalanche safety in 2000, Trudeau, then 28, was accused of “groping” and “inappropriately handling” a young female reporter who was covering the event for the Creston Valley Advance, CBC News reported.  The woman, who was not named in the article, is believed to have written an editorial about the alleged incident after the event, which is the only record of it, the outlet reported. The editorial suggested the woman felt “blatantly disrespected” but did not provide specific details about what occurred.  Valeria Bourne, who was the publisher of the paper at the time, remembered the event and said the reporter was “distressed” by her contact with Trudeau but would not consider it sexual assault.  Trudeau is always lecturing us from his perch as a superior human.  Let's see how he gets out of this. 

FOR THOSE WHO LOVE SOCIALISM – FROM BREITBART:   Local residents in Venezuela staged further protests on Monday as the failed socialist country now appears to be running out of clean water. Multiple groups of demonstrators blocked highways around the capital of Caracas to protest the lack of clean water supplies.  On the Avenida Baralt in central Caracas, protesters complained that they had not received water for two days and, as a result  Elsewhere in Caracas, locals blocked a highway outside the Concresa shopping mall in the Baruta neighborhood to protest the lack of water, as well as the recently elevated price of public transport. A recent report by the Venezuelan National Federation of Communal Councils and Communes found that 90 percent of ground transportation in the country is broken or out of service.  Welcome to socialism.  Trendy Hollywood stars can send their contributions to any Venezuelan charity.
