The Democratic Party is rapidly moving further to the political left, and adjectives like socialist, once derogatory, are
no longer being avoided. Some of the candidates who are being enthusiastically promoted by the party are indistinguishable from communists. For
years, the Democratic Party platform has been completely out of sync with the American mainstream,
even though it has the reliable support of the national news media. But some of the newcomers have ideas that are really odious.
One symptom of this is the introduction of the risible "Green New Deal," which is an amalgamation of pie-in-the-sky
utopian fantasies, none of which will ever be implemented in any country in the world. Yet the left-wing extremists
among the Socialist Democrats are openly in favor of adopting it as part of their platform.
The poster child for this lunacy is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a newly-elected U.S. Representative from New York.
She had already begun to build a reputation as an airhead before the "Green New Deal" hit the internet in the first week
of February. Now, her enthusiastic support of this flimflam will allow all of us to dismiss any ideas she has in the
future. Her understanding of the way the real world works is so badly flawed, it makes one wonder how she could
graduate from college with such an inadequate education.
The way things are in the real world isn't perfect by any means, with the military-industrial complex, the Establishment,
and the Deep State pulling all the strings in Washington DC, but we can learn to live with it. Conversely, if any part
of the Green New Deal were to be implemented, the U.S. economy would soon collapse.
Moreover, the whole point of the Green New Deal is the elimination of carbon dioxide emissions, under the mistaken notion
that CO2 is a pollutant, which it is not, and
that global warming is going to reach a thermal runaway state (any day now!)
and quickly destroy all of civilization. These ideas are peddled in
the publicschools, in an effort to get tomorrow's voters to expand
and strengthen the already-overgrown federal government. Global warming hysteria is based entirely
on flawed computer models,
dishonest record keeping,
and inaccurate measurements.
The biased
and incompetent news media spread disinformation
continually, because there is a lot of money and political power at stake.
The long list of ways to reduce CO2 emissions (embedded in the Green New Deal) is ridiculous, especially when you consider that
every other country in the world will be using coal and petroleum and natural gas like they always have. The communists in
the Democratic Party may eliminate internal combustion engines and air travel and coal consumption, but no other country in the
world is going to follow suit. And no harebrained scheme will stop the emission of carbon dioxide
from volcanos, termites, swamps, and the other seven billion
people on this planet.
The Green New Deal is a solution for which we do not have a problem.
Enemy
of Freedom: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. A former bartender and activist,
Ocasio-Cortez was elected to Congress in 2018 at the age of 29 after defeating 10-term incumbent
Rep. Joe Crowley (D., N.Y.) in the Democratic primary. Before that, she worked as an
intern for Sen. Ted Kennedy (D., Mass.), one of the most notorious sex pests in the history of
American politics. [...] Ocasio-Cortez is a socialist, but only so long as it doesn't interfere
with her glamorous lifestyle. She just wants everyone else to suffer under her preferred
policies, because the cruelty is the point. She's the kind of socialist who wears a "Tax the
Rich" dress to the Met Gala, pals around with anti-Semites, and parks her $50,000 Tesla wherever
[...] she wants. Claim to shame: Ocasio-Cortez co-sponsored "Green New Deal"
legislation that would eliminate "every combustion-engine vehicle" in the country, eradicate air
travel, and abolish "farting cows." The bill also purported to solve climate change by
providing "economic security" to those "unwilling to work," and addressing "historic oppression"
via reparation payments to "vulnerable communities." Even then-House speaker Nancy Pelosi
(D., Calif.) thought it was too extreme, calling it the "green dream."
The
Democratic Party's Hard Left Turn. The modern resurgence of socialism in American
politics traces back to the 2018 surprise primary victory of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), a
member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). Her win marked a turning
point — when Marxist-inspired rhetoric and a radical agenda, once confined to fringe
academic circles and activist ecosystems, became the driving force behind the Democratic Party's
agenda. AOC's win — amplified by social media and a fawning press —
mainstreamed ideas that would have been politically radioactive just a decade earlier.
Policies like open borders, mass legalization of illegal immigrants, wealth redistribution, and a
Green New Deal-style government-mandated economic restructuring quickly became normalized among
party leaders.
AOC
[is] Seen as [the] 'Face' of [the] Democratic Party. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is
seen as the "face" of the Democratic Party according to new polling. In a Co/efficient survey conducted
from May 7 to May 9 among 1,462 likely voters, 26% identified Ocasio-Cortez as the face of the
Democratic Party. Another 26% said there is no one currently leading the party, while 22% chose
"other." Ocasio-Cortez was far ahead of other listed Democrats. Coming in a distant
second was close ally Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). The pair recently went to various states
with their Fighting Oligarchy tour. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) placed third in the
survey with 8%.
Yikes:
AOC Threatens Trump Officials If They Arrest House Dems Over Newark ICE Facility
Incident. The Democrats are not only getting themselves into political trouble with
their embrace of illegal aliens, but they're also getting themselves into potential legal trouble
as well. The Department of Homeland Security is investigating last Friday's actions at the
ICE detention facility in Newark. They said they have not ruled out making more
arrests. Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested for trespassing during the chaos on Friday when
he, the other Democrats, and protesters tried to get into the facility. Three House
Democrats, Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman, Rob Menendez Jr, and LaMonica McIver were involved in
the chaos. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) threw a fit about the possibility that
the House Democrats might face arrest. AOC claimed DHS was "using public intimidation"
because "they know that they cannot come for us all."
For
the Left, Power Isn't a Tool, It's the Goal. [Scroll down] Consider
Airhead-Cortez. She sees weakness at the top of the DemonRats in the Senate and is almost
certainly planning a primary challenge to steal control of Schumer's seat. Broadening our
view, we see that a large volume of the political class exists for the sole purpose of advancing up
the ladder without regard for the "general welfare" of America. The repetitive query of "What
has XXXX done for you in Congress?" with particular emphasis on the Democrat party, shows
this in spades. Very few CongressCritters seem to actually work for us. MTG, Jim
Jordan, and Ron Johnson are conspicuous exceptions. The Democrats march in lockstep, and I
can't name a single one who actually works to improve America. The obvious question must be,
"Now that they've caught the delivery truck, what do they want to do with it?"
Jasmine
Crockett Hinting at Bid for Job AOC Wants. Texas Dem Rep. Jasmine Crockett has
been making a name for herself in recent months, but for all the wrong reasons. She mocked
her home-state governor Greg Abbott's use of a wheelchair, even though he was tragically
semi-paralyzed when a tree fell on him in his 20s. She's made racist and inflammatory
remarks, even threatening Sen. Ted Cruz. She uses different accents depending on her
audience. In other words, she's "special." The deluded congresswoman, however, thinks
she's worthy of the top Democrat spot on the Oversight Committee, saying she's "made for the
moment." This could set up an epic battle between far-left lawmakers, as Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez once ran for the job (and lost badly) and is rumored to be thinking about trying
again. But Jasmine has reportedly started lobbying hard for the position.
As
predicted, AOC is clearly running for president. AOC's appeal to the left is
obvious: She's female, glib, telegenic, well-recognized, vaguely Hispanic, antisemitic, and a
truly leftist ideologue. Bernie Sanders rightly sees her as the bridge between his
old-fashioned class warfare and the new multi-culti warfare, both vehicles for the Marxist
overthrow of the West. That's why the two of them have been appearing in venues across
America to rally the true believers. The fact that AOC's sole life experience before politics
has been as a bartender/waitress is irrelevant (although it exceeds Bernie's pre-political life
experience). That this might not prepare her for managing the vast enterprise that is the
United States government, dealing with foreign leaders, or having any wisdom at all fades into
insignificance compared to her leftist virtues.
Eco-warriors
AOC, Bernie Sanders took $15K-per-hour private jet to attend 'Fighting Oligarchy' rally.
Far-left New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was spotted exiting a private jet with her
comrade in arms, Sen. Bernie Sanders, after shuttling between stops for a campaign dedicated
to denouncing the wealthy. Video from Fox News shows AOC and Sanders exiting a Bombardier
Challenger 604 — despite both railing against flying private planes and the people who
own them — a luxury aircraft with a lofty $5 million to $7 million price tag
and costing an eye-watering $15,000 per hour to charter. The duo hopped the swanky ride to
attend a series of Sanders' "Fighting Oligarchy" rallies, which aim to "have real discussions
across America," and take on "the oligarchs and corporate interests who have so much power and
influence in this country," the official website for the campaign states.
Bernie
and AOC [are] Crisscrossing Country on Private Jets — On Earth Day, No Less!
Nothing says "FIGHT THE OLIGARCHY" quite like flying a private jet to rally the Brownshirts with an
aging millionaire. AOC sure knows how to fight "The Man!" [Advertisement]
[Tweet with video clip] No doubt you are aware that AOC is bucking to become Bernie
Sanders' — that aging millionaire who has spent his life ranting about socialism while
enjoying a nice life on the taxpayers' dime — protege and successor. She is
looking to inherit the Bernie! movement, which has twice been denied the Democratic Party's
nomination through questionable political maneuvering designed to deny party activists their choice
for candidate. Poor Bernie. The Obama/Clinton clique screwed him, and then the
brain-dead Bidens, but he soldiers on. And with good reason. Just as the Republican
Party has taken a populist turn, the Democratic Party base has as well, longing for a socialist to
lead them to the promised land. Bernie is now, if anything, just a tich to the right of the
Democratic Party base.
How
AOC Can Win the Democratic Nomination and Become the Next U.S. President. Perhaps
this Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez person is perfectly content where she is — in a "safe
space" Democratic district that'll rubber-stamp her reelection bids — allowing her to
play "House" for the next 30 or 40 years. (It's a little girl's dream come true!)
But I don't think so. Most of the time, when someone runs for congress — and
wins! — while still in his or her twenties, it's a [...] lot more likely they're more
ambitious than your average bear.
Meet
the Man Who Murdered the Democratic Party. [Scroll down] Liberals are
demanding to be represented by a fighter. Among Democratic voters, an overwhelming
majority — 72% — want someone "more aggressive" to battle Trump. Less
than a third (28%) sought a "moderate" approach. The liberal base will choose the most
aggressive, fiery liberal candidate. Moderates need not apply. AOC's electoral strength
has reached the point where she could snuff out Sen. Schumer's career if she wanted to.
According to a recent poll, in a potential primary battle, she has a 19-point lead over the top
Democrat in the state! Again, this isn't normal behavior.
AOC
flies first-class to Bernie Sanders' 'Fight Oligarchy' rally. Socialist
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was photographed flying first-class to a Bernie Sanders event
last month — with critics saying it shows how she battles inequality one "mimosa at a
time." An incredulous passenger snapped AOC (D-NY) getting comfy in the roomy first-class
cabin of JetBlue Flight 511 on March 19 that departed from JFK Airport in Queens for Las
Vegas, where she spoke at a Sanders rally titled "Fighting Oligarchy." The next day, the
equality-spouting darling of the far left rallied along with her socialist comrade,
Sen. Sanders (I-Vt.), in North Vegas and at Arizona State University in Tempe. "Nothing
says, 'Power to the people' like ignoring voters looking to say hello and reclining in first class
while tweeting about income inequality," the flier who took the photo told The Post —
claiming that AOC did not respond to friendly comments once she sat down.
Chuck
Schumer's Political Career Could Be in Jeopardy. Ever since Senate Majority Leader
Chuck Schumer voted for the House-passed continuing resolution (CR) last month, the backlash has
been severe, and many on the left have been calling on socialist firebrand Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
to challenge Schumer for his Senate seat. Taking on a sitting member of party leadership is
no small feat. Most of the time, these challenges come from fringe candidates with little
name recognition and even less chance of winning. But a stunning new poll flips that script
entirely — AOC leads Schumer by a jaw-dropping 19 points in a hypothetical
Democratic primary. According to the Data for Progress survey, AOC pulls in 55% support,
while the longtime incumbent trails far behind at just 36%.
Poll:
AOC leads Schumer in head-to-head New York primary matchup by double digits.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is leading Chuck Schumer by double digits in a new head-to-head poll of
the 2028 New York primary. The survey by the liberal firm Data for Progress, first shared
with POLITICO, found that 55 percent of Democratic likely voters said they supported or leaned
toward supporting Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, while 36 percent backed or leaned toward backing
Sen. Schumer. Nine percent were undecided.
Bernie
Sanders Ducks Question About AOC Running for Senate. We may well be witnessing the
passing of a torch just now in the Democratic Party. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the former
bartender from New York, and Bernie Sanders, the daffy old Bolshevik from Vermont, have been making
some appearances together. We may well presume that the "daffy Bolshevik" torch is being
handed off, from a failed carpenter to a failed bartender. Or, at least, we might have
thought that, until Bernie appeared on ABC's "This Week" and, when asked if he thought AOC should
run for the Senate, appeared about to storm out of the room, calling it a "nonsense
question." Now why would he do that?
Former
Clinton Pollster Warns AOC Challenging Chuck Schumer Could Be Final Blow For Democrats.
Former Clinton pollster Mark Penn warned Thursday that Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez challenging Democratic New York Sen. Chuck Schumer in 2028 could deal a
devastating blow to the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party's favorability plunged to a
record low of 29%, according to a Sunday CNN/SSRS poll conducted March 6-9. Penn, on "The
Story with Martha MacCallum," said the poll indicates that the Democratic Party has retained its
"left base" while "moderates" are fleeing in droves. "I don't think she's going to challenge
Schumer, but if she does, I mean, already the Democratic ratings are down to 29%. I've never seen
anything like it," Penn said. "That means the left base is with the Democratic Party and the
moderates are all leaving the party. So AOC taking off Schumer, wow, that could finish this
party off. This could put it into the wilderness the way the Labour Party was for a decade."
The Editor says...
If AOC can bring down Senator Schumer, and especially if she can (further) collapse the Socialist
Democrat Party, she can expect a lot of quiet support from the political right. Yes, we would be
stuck with her in the Senate for six years, but her voting record would be nearly the same as Schumer's.
And the GOP would take great advantage of this high-profile laughingstock
Cult
of the mask: Bernie, AOC urge base to break out face diapers at town halls.
Barack Obama once famously accused working class white voters of bitterly clinging to their guns
and religion, the same could be said about today's Democrats and their fixation on the face masks
that symbolized their COVID tyranny. Years after the end of the Biden regime's authoritarian
pandemic response that nearly destroyed America, the party's top two marquee progressives,
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) are urging their
supporters to put the face diapers on for their upcoming "Fighting Oligarchy" rally in Denver next
week. On Friday, conservative influencer and podcaster Stephen Miller shared a notice about
the rally that was sent to him by a friend in which the crooked curmudgeon encouraged attendees at
next Friday's outdoor event in the Mile High City to mask up. [Tweet]
AOC,
Sanders tell supporters to mask up for West Coast town halls. Sen. Bernie
Sanders, I-Vt., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., are taking the "Fighting Oligarchy"
rallies out West next week — and advising supporters to mask up to participate.
Five years after the COVID-19 pandemic, Fox News Digital can confirm that the RSVP for the events
in Denver and Las Vegas includes guidance that "masks are advised for all attendees of this event."
A post shared by conservative podcaster Stephen L. Miller on Friday about the Denver event had many
wondering why masks would be advised for an outdoor event in 2025.
AOC
Runs Mouth Too Fast and Incriminates Herself While Trying to Do Exact Opposite. New
York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez cannot help but make a fool of herself. On
Tuesday, the New York Post reported watchdog group Americans for Public Trust filed an ethics
complaint against AOC, alleging the congresswoman used tax dollars from the Member Representational
Allowance for dancing lessons. Although the Post states it's not clear who "Juan D Gonzalez"
is — he received $3,700 for these apparent lessons — AOC also paid $850 to
"Bombazo Dance Co Inc," a Bronx youth dance organization in December. She also allegedly
spent an eye-popping $3,384.74 at a taco restaurant, to boot.
AOC
Hit With Ethics Complaint for 'Troubling' Improper Use of Taxpayer Funds to Pay Dance Company.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has been hit with an ethics complaint from a nonprofit
government accountability project over expenses involving "training." The best part is that
AOC might have initiated the call for a probe into her spending activity by spouting off about it
on social media. Americans for Public Trust sent a letter to the Office of Congressional
Ethics (OCE) on Tuesday pointing to two specific expenditures made on December 13th last
year. One was for "Bombazo Dance Co Inc." for $850, and another for "Juan D Gonzalez" for
$3,700. The charges were first revealed on X by conservative commentator Paul Szypula, who
accused the congresswoman of "wasting tax dollars so she can dance and throw parties."
AOC
has been caught with her hand in the cookie jar. Congresswoman Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez has been secretly charging taxpayers thousands of dollars for dance lessons and
lavish parties at Mexican restaurants. The popular X account Paul A. Syzpula did some digging
into AOC's expenses and found that she spent $850 on "training" from a dance company and $3384 at a
Mexican restaurant in Virginia. [Tweet] Syzpula also established that AOC had at least
22 people working for her between October and December 2024, at a cost of nearly half a
million dollars.
¡Adiós!
AOC Aide, an Illegal Immigrant, Self-Deports to Colombia. An illegal immigrant who
served as deputy communications director for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) has fled
the United States for Colombia, saying he finally has "freedom of movement." Diego de la Vega,
who arrived in the United States from Ecuador at age seven and overstayed his visitor's visa, began
working for Ocasio-Cortez in October 2022, according to his LinkedIn. Last December, de
la Vega left the United States and relocated to Bogotá with his wife, another illegal
immigrant, the Substack "Migrant Insider" reported. Ocasio-Cortez praised her former aide on
Wednesday, saying he was "amazing" and that "we love him."
Former
illegal immigrant aide to AOC self-deports to Colombia amid questions about employment: report.
An illegal immigrant who once served as an aide to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., has
reportedly self-deported to Colombia, praising the "freedom of movement" in the South American
nation after working in Congress despite being in the country illegally. Diego de la Vega was
born in Ecuador and immigrated to the United States as a 7-year-old in 2001 on a visitor's visa
that he overstayed, Migrant Insider reported. The news raises thorny questions about his
employment status for the Queens-based congresswoman.
Panicked
AOC Sends Desperate Letter to AG Pam Bondi, Begging to Know if She's Under Investigation.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), the firebrand socialist darling of the radical left, is sweating
bullets. And who's got her running scared? None other than America's no-nonsense "Border
Czar," Tom Homan, who's vowed to hold her accountable. In a frantic letter to Attorney General
Pam Bondi, the New York congresswoman is scrambling to find out if the Department of Justice (DOJ) is
investigating her for coaching illegal aliens on how to evade ICE. The controversy erupted when
Tom Homan openly criticized Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, accusing her of leveraging her
platform to obstruct immigration enforcement efforts. This accusation follows his statement
on February 13, 2025, where Homan revealed his request to the Deputy Attorney General to
initiate a probe into AOC's activities, ominously noting that she would be "in trouble now."
AOC
Wants To Know If She's Actually Being Investigated For Coaching Illegal Aliens To Dodge Immigration
Raids. Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is asking the
Department of Justice (DOJ) to clarify whether she is actually under investigation for potentially
obstructing the Trump administration's immigration agenda. Ocasio-Cortez wrote a letter on
Thursday to Attorney General Pam Bondi to inquire whether the DOJ has initiated an investigation
into her on the grounds that her office held a webinar meeting meant to help illegal aliens try to
avoid deportations. "Border czar" Tom Homan has repeatedly suggested that the "Know Your Rights"
virtual meeting violated federal law and amounts to an effort to impede the Trump administration's
immigration policies, and he also contacted the deputy attorney general requesting a review of
Ocasio-Cortez's webinar.
Border
Czar Homan takes his case against AOC to the DOJ. The theme of President Trump's next
term is accountability. Gone are the days when the left and the uniparty could run amok,
doing whatever [...] they pleased — whether it was coddling criminals, protecting
illegals (same difference, really), while throwing hardworking Americans under the bus. And
that brings us to this latest story involving AOC, who has completely abandoned her American
constituents and is now pouring all her energy into helping illegals evade capture —
which goes against everything the American people voted for in 2024. She actually had the
audacity to put together a webinar for them. [Screenshots]
Border
czar Tom Homan slams AOC over webinar to help illegal immigrants avoid arrest. Border
czar Tom Homan suggested on Friday [2/14/2025] that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez may be
"impeding" federal immigration authorities from arresting and deporting criminal illegal
immigrants. Homan took issue with a webinar hosted by Ocasio-Cortez's office earlier this
week explaining the tactics Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) authorities have been using
in New York to arrest illegal immigrants — in an apparent effort to help migrants avoid
deportation. "I sent an email today to the deputy attorney general. At what level is that
impediment? Is that impediment?" Homan said of the webinar in an interview with Fox News host
Laura Ingraham. "Is that impeding our law enforcement efforts? If so, what are we going
to do about it?" Homan said he asked the Justice Department. "Maybe AOC is going to be in
trouble now," he continued, arguing that "Impediment is impediment, in my opinion.
ICE
Director Tom Homan Announces He Has Referred Rep. Ocasio-Cortez to the Department of Justice
for Investigation. On Thursday night ICE Director Tom Homan joined Laura Ingraham on
The Ingraham Angle on FOX News. During their discussion Homan announced that he had referred
socialist open-borders Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez to the Department of Justice. This
comes after AOC proudly announced that she was holding webinars to teach illegal aliens how to
avoid ICE agents in New York City. Homan is not playing around. It's about time the
immigration laws were followed in America — especially by elected lawmakers.
No
Big Surprise: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Office Helping Illegal Aliens Evade ICE Repatriation
Efforts. You've got to hand it to New York's bartender-turned-Congresswoman,
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: She's consistent. Every time she opens her mouth —
which she does a lot — something stupid comes out. On Thursday, though, we
learned that it wasn't a statement from the congresswoman herself that was stupid, but rather an act
from her office. It seems her Congressional office has hosted a seminar advising illegal aliens on
how to evade repatriation: [...] If a person is here illegally, they can be sent back from whence they
came. Consider for a moment that Homeland Security and border czar Tom "The Hammer" Homan are
focusing their efforts on gang members and criminals, and think about the implications of AOC's
office in light of that. She is literally trying to aid criminals and gang members in their
efforts to evade capture. Now, perhaps AOC didn't take part in the seminar directly, although
since it came from her office, she must have approved it, and presumably was aware of what was being
presented ahead of time. But her Instagram account has also — separately —
presented tips and tricks for people in the country illegally to evade capture.
AOC
Takes Home Gold in the Projection Olympics, Mocks Elon Musk's Intellect: 'Dude Is Not
Smart'. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who should probably ask for a
refund from Boston University for leading her astray on an education, slammed Elon Musk as "one of
the most unintelligent billionaires" she has ever met. AOC's comments were part of a
90-minute-long conversation with fans on Instagram. What really launched New York's most
prominent socialist into a flurry of dizzying projection are Musk's ongoing efforts to clean up an
out-of-control bureaucracy through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team. "This
dude is probably one of the most unintelligent billionaires I have ever met, or seen, or witnessed,"
she whinnied. "Which, you know, you can probably even glean that from watching these people
on TV." "Anyways, all of that is to say, is that they don't do their homework. Clearly,
like, they're putting 19-year-olds in with the Treasury," she continued. "This dude is not
smart." [Tweet with video clip]
AOC
Urges Civil Disobedience Against Trump's Executive Orders: 'We Don't Have to Listen to
Him'. Far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) is urging civil disobedience
against Donald Trump's slew of executive orders. Since taking office on Monday, Trump has
signed a slew of executive orders targeting everything from immigration and the border all the way
through to ending DEI and dismantling the deep state. In one of her regular live stream
videos in which she lays out the roadmap to a socialist America, the New York Congresswoman urged
people to simply ignore or disobey executive orders signed by the president.
Ocasio-Cortez
says she refused to attend Trump's inauguration because she doesn't 'celebrate rapists'.
Democratic Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York released a video expressing why
she refused to attend the second inauguration of President Donald Trump on Monday.
Ocasio-Cortez implied in her statement that she believed accusations of rape against Trump, leading
many online to call on the president to file a lawsuit for defamation against her.
AOC
has laid the foundation for Trump to sue her for defamation. I'm sure that all of you
remember how ABC and George Stephanopoulos entered into a $15 million settlement with Donald
Trump, plus providing an apology, after George S repeatedly called Donald Trump a
"rapist." Trump was never tried or found guilty of rape, and calling him a "rapist" was and
is pure defamation. (And that's entirely separate from the peculiarities in E. Jean
Carroll's narrative.) It seems, though, that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ("AOC")
missed out on that whole $15 million dollars thing. On Sunday, in one of a series of
anti-Trump rants, AOC explicitly called Trump a rapist. Many instantly noted what she'd done
and reminded Trump that he should sue her: [Tweet with video clip]
Violence
and the Left. On the left, everything is violent except violence. We see this
often in the context of speech, but Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez extended the universe of violence to
include denial of health insurance coverage: [...] Ocasio-Cortez is an unusually dull-witted
person, but even she should understand that shooting someone in the back is violent. Turning
down an insurance claim might be correct or incorrect under the terms of the policy — in
all probability it is correct — but in any case, it is not violent. An insurance
policy is a contract. Under any insurance policy some things are covered, and other things
are not. Insurance companies, not just health insurance companies, turn down claims when the
claim does not fall within the coverage of the policy. If the policy holder thinks the
insurance company is wrong, he has legal recourse. And insurance is a heavily regulated
industry in every state.
Nancy
Pelosi trying to 'tank' AOC's House Oversight Committee bid: report. Former House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi has reportedly launched a behind-the-scenes effort to thwart
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's bid to serve as the top Democrat on the House Oversight
Committee. Pelosi (D-Calif.), 84, would rather see Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) serve as
ranking member on the high-profile panel and is "actively working to tank" AOC's bid, according to
Punchbowl News. The former House speaker has been "making calls" urging Democrats to support
Connolly, 74, over Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), 35, the outlet reported Thursday.
Trans-logical?
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) recently derided a new policy banning men from women's
restrooms on U.S. Capitol grounds, claiming that those who support the policy are "endangering
girls of all kinds." This is not true. In fact, it is the opposite of true. First
of all, there is no such thing as "girls of all kinds" in the sense that she meant it, meaning
girls of the boy kind, or 'trans women.' Secondly, the new policy does not "endanger"
anyone, but protects the vast majority of actual females from being uncomfortable or feeling
unsafe. If I identify as a Dallas Cowboy, it doesn't "endanger" me if I can't use the team's
bathroom or locker-room. Period. The same holds true were I to identify as a New York
Yankee, Boston Celtic, or Chicago Blackhawk. The difference is, it wouldn't potentially
endanger them if I did. Similarly, if I identify as a flathead catfish it doesn't
"endanger" me if I can't swim in the river with them. If I identify as a Radio City Music
Hall Rockette, it doesn't "endanger" me if I'm not allowed to dance across the stage with them.
Neither physically nor mentally. If I believe it will "endanger" me mentally to be
unable to do so, it simply shows I am already in desperate need of help. Period.
AOC
Has Got to Go. Of all the neighborhoods in Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's
district, one stood out on Election Day as a considerable surprise. The left-wing
congresswoman represents a very diverse population ranging from struggling immigrants in Queens and
a piece of The Bronx to young professionals gentrifying areas right across the river from
Manhattan. New York's 14th Congressional District just reelected her and went for Kamala
Harris, but Donald Trump's share of its vote rose by 50% over 2020. And the heavily Latino
enclave of Corona provided Trump's strongest support there. Why would that be? New York
magazine asked questions and found answers.
Too
Many Democrats Still Operate In the Old Way and It Highlights How Abusive They've
Been. The mainstream media's ability to push lies has been severely reduced[,] yet
the Democrats can't seem to give up the ghost of the power they once held. Case in point,
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a perfect example of how Democrats can't seem to let it go. AOC
is one of the youngest members in congress, yet she still operates by the old ways of Democrat
propagandizing. She gets on corporate media news programs and tells blatant lies in full
belief that the media will then carry that message to the people, and her lie will be repeated so
many times that it will eventually become the truth. Here she is on Joy Reid's show last week
saying, with a straight face, that the problem with Tulsi Gabbard is that she's "pro-war." She's
not, as Tulsi has demonstrated how against war she actually is by wanting to stop helping fund the
proxy war with Russia in Ukraine. Joy Reid also repeated the Hillary Clinton lie that Gabbard
was a Russian asset. "A Tulsi Gabbard nomination is a pro-war nomination globally," said AOC.
"Point blank, period." [Tweet with video clip] [...] Her lie died on X the moment it was
uttered. It was shot down by the citizenry itself. People of all stripes stepped forward
and offered proof that what AOC was saying was false.
What
Now? There Are Things Trump Can Do Both Now And After The Inauguration.
[Scroll down] Getting elected should not be a feather bed. People like Chuck
Schumer, Mitch McConnell, and other federal fungi should not exist. But unlike the
presidency, these positions do not have term limits. My home state of Florida is flourishing
under term limits. We seem to get tax cuts and bigger surpluses every year, with hundreds of
thousands of people U-Hauling their cats and squirrels south every year. The same medicine
should be good for Congress. Why should AOC be a multimillionaire after a handful of terms in
Congress? She makes less than $200k per year and was broke when she arrived. Rinse and
repeat for dozens of others. The answer is simple: term limits. But Congress won't
exercise its Article V option to propose a term limits Amendment because that would cut off its
gravy train.
AOC
Condemns 'Israel's Pager Attack' in Lebanon; Fails to Mention Hezbollah.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) condemned Israel for a pager attack that killed 12 and
wounded nearly 3,000 in Lebanon on Tuesday, most of whom were officials within or connected to the
Hezbollah terrorist organization. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), AOC blamed Israel (which
has not formally claimed responsibility) for the attack, and said it had killed and injured
civilians. She did not mention Hezbollah, or the fact that terrorists were targeted. [Tweet]
A
Night At the Opera: Day One of the Democratic National Convention.
[Scroll down] Biden himself did not get to talk till after 11:00 p.m. on the East
Coast, though, way past his bedtime, and when most viewers have gone to sleep. It had its
purpose, though: In this way, Harris would be able to separate herself from unpopular Biden
policies, which late into the night, in a long extended speech, Biden rattled off ad nauseam.
The short six-minute speech by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez earlier, though, demonstrated her charisma
and she delivered a talk that brought the audience to its feet. Sadly, it was full of falsehoods
and platitudes and missed realities. Her speech was short on detail but it indicated that for
Democrats, the unifying issue will be abortion.
AOC
Announces Plans to Boycott 'War Criminal' Netanyahu's Speech Before Congress.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) announced she is planning to boycott "war criminal"
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech before Congress on Wednesday. In a post on
X, Ocasio-Cortez described Netanyahu being invited to speak before a joint meeting of House and
Senate members as being "a dark day" in the history of the United States. Netanyahu landed in
the United States Monday evening ahead of his speech on Wednesday.
Democratic
Socialists of America throw AOC under the bus. Once upon a time, not too long ago,
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was the darling of the Democratic Socialists of America
(DSA). Now, the firebrand socialist finds herself in a bit of a pickle with DSA leadership, who
have determined she isn't radical enough for their liking. [...] Interestingly, the DSA seems to
take the most umbrage with AOC's wishy-washy approach to the Israeli-Hamas conflict because the DSA
is "committed to ensuring that all of our elected officials are unabashed in their support for
Palestinian freedom." Question: What does Palestinian freedom have to do with promoting
domestic socialism? Answer: Nothing. This goes to show that the DSA is not
actually devoted to pushing socialist policies in America; rather, it is the haven for neo-Marxism.
AOC
wants to impeach two Supreme Court justices. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) has led
the charge to impeach U.S. Supreme Court justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel J. Alito, Jr. on
grounds of alleged failure to report gifts and for political views that AOC asserts compromise
their ethical obligation toward impartiality. In particular, AOC is enraged that Justice
Thomas has questioned the legitimacy of the 2020 elections and the Democrat narrative regarding the
events of January 6, 2021, and that Justice Alito's wife passionately supported Donald Trump
through the so-called insurrection and displayed flags AOC connects to extremism. The
impeachment resolutions attempt to dismantle the SCOTUS — not by depoliticizing it, but
by hyper-politicizing it (like everything else in social justice America) into a one-party
ideological apparatus. Co-sponsors of AOC's Court impeachment coup include the usual extremist
suspects Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Jamaal Bowman, but equally revealing is the resolutions'
"endorsers," a hodgepodge of dodgy socialist NGOs and radically progressive cultural Marxists.
AOC
introduces articles of impeachment against Justices Thomas and Alito. "Squad"
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and multiple progressive allies unveiled articles of impeachment
against Supreme Court Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas on Wednesday [7/10/2024].
Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), 34, lambasted the two conservative justices over their "pattern of refusal to
recuse" themselves from key cases and "failure to disclose" certain gifts. "These failures
alone would amount to a deep transgression worthy of standard removal in any lower court, and would
disqualify any nominee to the highest court from confirmation in the first place," she said in a
statement. "Given the court's demonstrated inability to preserve its own legitimate conduct,
it is incumbent upon Congress to contain the threat this poses to our democracy," she went on.
"Congress has a legal, moral, and democratic obligation to impeach."
AOC
threatens to file impeachment articles following Supreme Court immunity ruling.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) plans to draft articles of impeachment after the Supreme
Court ruled former President Donald Trump may have some immunity from prosecution related to
actions he took in the aftermath of the 2020 election. "The Supreme Court has become consumed by
a corruption crisis beyond its control," Ocasio-Cortez said in a post to X on Monday. "Today's
ruling represents an assault on American democracy. It is up to Congress to defend our nation
from this authoritarian capture."
The Editor says...
That would be well worth watching: Legal scholar AOC takes on a couple of Supreme Court justices,
second-guessing their reasoning. I'd like to see that, especially if she would raise the
stakes: I mean, she's threatening their continued employment, so let her wager her own
job on the outcome, just to make it fair.
AOC
Wants to Impeach Justices. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., threatened to
bring articles of impeachment against the Supreme Court after Monday's immunity ruling regarding
former President Trump. "The Supreme Court has become consumed by a corruption crisis beyond its
control," Ocasio-Cortez wrote on X. "Today's ruling represents an assault on American
democracy. It is up to Congress to defend our nation from this authoritarian capture. I
intend on filing articles of impeachment upon our return." She's very upset about Donald
Trump's presidential immunity and the decision by SCOTUS to uphold it. What high crime and
misdemeanor did the Justices commit? Disagreeing with her? This dingbat got 82% of the
vote in her district.
AOC
draws Biden-sized crowd. If AOC drew an attendee for every headline the media posted
about her rally in New York, she would have had more people than the ones who showed up for her ...
and Bernie Sanders. It was a rally for Fire Alarm-Pulling Jamaal Bowman who likely will lose
today's Democrat primary for his congressional seat. Michael Elgort tweeted a picture to his
11,000 followers and said, "From this angle performance of AOC on the stage in front of
50 people half of whom are journalists is even funnier." The picture was taken at the
height of AOC's performance. Maybe that was why she was hopping and bopping like the
Crocodile Rock. Or maybe she skipped her meds at breakfast. Another video showed
hundreds flanking the stage on the other sides. AOC claimed 1,200 people
attended — in a city of 8 million people. The barmaid's popularity is
past peak. Ask Madonna how that works.
AOC
goes bonkers at Bronx Bowman rally, breaking out into black English. Is
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez going off the deep end? Sure seems like it, given her
manic campaign appearance before a New York City crowd on behalf of beleaguered pro-Hamas
congressman Jamaal Bowman, who's running for reelection, following a string of disgraceful
incidents in Congress, such as being caught pulling a fire alarm in an apparent bid to disrupt
Congressional proceedings. [Two tweets with video clips] Her mania can be seen
here, too: [Advertisement] [Tweet with video clip] [Advertisement]
She not only got out of control, bouncing up and down and waving her arms, she fell into speaking
black English, complete with 'yalls' and other words and phrases that Democrats think will appeal
to blacks in front of black audiences. Hillary Clinton did this, Kamala Harris did this, and
so did many others. None of them has any sort of down-home black background, it's pure
cosplay for them.
I
Don't Know About Y'all, But I'm Kinda Enjoying It. By "it" I mean the freak out that
has been ramping up for months now that even the far left in the media are questioning Biden's
mental state and the realization Joe's about to set the democrat party on fire if he loses to DJT
in Nov. It's beginning to take on a dark, even for dems, surreal atmosphere of a landscape
most people I know don't recognize. One aspect it has spawned is the utter ridiculous fatal
hyperbole that has at least given us something to laugh at. Like Sandy actually saying she's
going to prison. LOL! [E]xcerpts from Breitbart: ["]'Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Fears Trump Will Throw Her in Jail if He Wins.' She voiced her concern to Kara Swisher on her
podcast On with Kara Swisher.["] Anyone know who this Kara Swisher chick with a

AOC
Worries Donald Trump Will Imprison Her Should He Win Re-Election..
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., recently expressed concern that if former President
Trump were to win the November election, he might seek retribution against her by imprisoning
her. Ocasio-Cortez shared her apprehensions during an interview with podcast host Kara
Swisher for "On with Kara Swisher," which was published on Thursday. During their
conversation, they covered various topics including the influence of technology corporations,
Ocasio-Cortez's previous clashes with Amazon, conservative fundraising by tech moguls, Israel,
artificial intelligence, and the upcoming presidential election. Reflecting on Trump's past
rhetoric, particularly his rallying cry of "lock her up" during his first campaign, Ocasio-Cortez
remarked, "I mean, it sounds nuts, but I wouldn't be surprised if this guy threw me in jail.
He's out of his mind. I mean, he did his whole first campaign around 'lock her up.' This is
his motto."
The Editor says...
"Lock her up" was not Trump's motto, nor is it now, but rather a spontaneous chant from some
of the crowds at his rallies, and it referred to Hillary Clinton, not AOC.
AOC
and Bernie Sanders have teamed up for a new green housing deal. AOC says the bill
would invest up to $234 billion over a decade into "weatherizing, electrifying, and
modernizing our public housing". The real goal is [to make the voters believe that] everyone has
a right to affordable housing. Don't kid yourself, the whole policy would cost many trillions
of dollars of which $234 billion is not even a down payment. Once you issue guarantees
with government involved costs soar out of sight. Even most Democrats recognize this.
The bill is so idiotic that it only gathered support 7 Senate advocates and 42 House advocates.

AOC
Has a Mental Breakdown After Bobulinski Runs Circles Around Her. Hunter Biden
demanded a hearing on Capitol Hill and then didn't show up. Perhaps he should have, because
his allies in the Democratic caucus aren't handling things well. In the gift that just keeps
on giving, Tony Bobulinski's testimony once again produced a must-see moment, this time involving
the esteemed Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The congresswoman tried to pin the witness
down on noting "specific crimes" he witnessed Hunter and Joe Biden commit. I guess she wasn't
expecting him to be ready with an actual answer because he triggered her harder than a long day at
the range. [Tweet]
Wall
Street banker Marty Dolan, 66, launches primary bid to unseat AOC. Congresswoman
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has a challenger in the Democratic primary for the New York 14th
Congressional District seat. Wall Street veteran Marty Dolan launched a long-shot bid to
unseat the progressive lawmaker who represents a district that includes parts of Queens and the
Bronx in New York City. Dolan has called for the Democratic party to 're-center' and argues
the 'Radicals' influence on the party is overweight.
AOC
district neighborhood labeled 'Third World' as migrants clog streets and prostitutes overrun every
block. An area in Squad member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's district is being described
as looking more like a Third World country as opposed to a thriving American neighborhood, as
desperate migrants block up sidewalks selling food and shilling clothing items while prostitutes
openly solicit sex from passersby — reportedly including teens. The neighborhoods
of Corona, Jackson Heights and Elmhurst — a once-vibrant community in northwestern
Queens — has now essentially deteriorated into a large flea market with trash
overflowing on street corners, leading to unsavory and unhygienic conditions, as video obtained by
Fox News Digital shows. Meanwhile, the neighborhood's main strip along Roosevelt Avenue has
become so renowned for its prostitution that locals have nicknamed the area "the market
of sweethearts," and viral online videos advise prospective johns on how to make use of sex
workers' services there. [...] The neighborhood is often touted as the most diverse in Queens and
has long been a melting pot for migrants, but a portion of the migrant population there are
reportedly in the U.S. illegally and don't have permits to work, leaving them with no choice but to
take to the streets to make ends meet, residents say.
Ex-banker
challenging Ocasio-Cortez in Democratic primary. The election of Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., to Congress in 2018 created massive political upheaval after she unseated
veteran congressman Joe Crowley, who had at one point been tapped to replace Nancy Pelosi as
Democratic leader of the House. This summer, a former Wall Street banker is looking to do to
Ocasio-Cortez what she did to Crowley, Marty Dolan, 66, who spent 30 years working for
Jefferies Financial Group Inc., Morgan Stanley and other financial firms, is challenging
Ocasio-Cortez for her 14th Congressional District seat in New York, a position she has safely held
for the last six years, representing a district Dolan says she has done little to help
improve. Should he be successful, it would be an earth-shattering blow to the Democratic
Socialists of America, who have a large foothold in the city, including in the Bronx and
northern Queens, which the District 14 seat covers. But Dolan says Ocasio-Cortez and her
fellow socialists have gone too far, blasting their approach to the economy, crime and the illegal
migrant crisis.
AOC
slammed for reaction to NYPD dance crew performance: 'Useless, harmful politician'.
Lefty Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is getting bashed for lashing out at a recent TV
performance by the NYPD's dance team — with foes saying her criticism only highlights
the failures of her own party. The Democratic congresswoman from New York City —
who supported the "Defund the police" movement — was among those to take aim at the
police department after its dance troupe performed on PIX11 late last week. "How many school
music programs got defunded for this," Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) tweeted Monday alongside a clip of the
female cop dance group — which is not funded by taxpayer money.
AOC
openly smears Clarence Thomas and his wife without presenting a shred of evidence — but
a CNN host doesn't question it. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) smeared
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and his wife on Monday to argue that Thomas should recuse
himself from a forthcoming case involving Donald Trump. Last week, the Supreme Court agreed
to hear Trump's appeal of the Colorado Supreme Court ruling that he is constitutionally
disqualified for the presidency. If Thomas rules in the case, Ocasio-Cortez argued on CNN
that it would be a "scandal." "I think it's very clear Clarence Thomas, and, rather, his wife,
Ginni, participated in the events of Jan. 6," Ocasio-Cortez told CNN anchor Anderson Cooper
without evidence. "And now what is likely going before the Supreme Court is a judgment as to
whether an event that his wife participated in, that his wife has been investigated by, in the
Jan. 6 committee in, qualifies as an insurrection," she continued. "And Clarence Thomas'
decision on that one way or another, and overall the court's decision on that, would directly
implicate his wife.
AOC's
Solution to the Border Crisis May Be the Dumbest Thing I've Ever Heard. While
appearing on "The Daily Show," a journalistic bastion if there ever was one, Ocasio-Cortez decided
to let it be known that the real way to "fix" the border is to "document people."
[Tweet] [Tweet with video clip] According to the esteemed congresswoman, the issue
of millions of people flooding over the border illegally can be easily solved by simply handing out
documented status. Isn't that what we are already doing, though? Joe Biden's
catch-and-release policy allows illegal immigrants to enter the interior of the country. Some
outlets have even reported that work authorizations are being given out. Regardless of the
specifics, Ocasio-Cortez's suggestion still makes no sense. It's like saying you are going to
fix your toilet by burning down your house. I mean, I guess your toilet ceases to be a
problem at that point, but now you've got no house. If you start giving legal work
authorization to every illegal immigrant who crosses the border, then you are ceding the idea of
having a border at all, which is exactly what Democrats want.
Ocasio-Cortez
Goes from Mixologist to Congressional Millionaire in Less than Five Years. It took
34-year-old Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez just a little over four years to go from a
Bartender to a verified Millionaire. Cortez, or Sandy as she went by in her days at Boston
University, graduated in 2011 and had significant debt from four years of overpriced study on
Boylston Street. She started a career as a Mixologist until she was elected to Congress in
2018 to represent the good folks of the Bronx and Queens. She lives in a luxury apartment in
D.C., drives a Tesla, travels extensively, and makes $174,000 yearly as a Congresswoman. On
her current trajectory, it is estimated Miss Cortez will break the Million Dollar ceiling by age
38. She attributes her growing savings account balance to good budgeting. Not bad for a
self-proclaimed Socialist. I think it may be more a case of campaign funds finding their way
into her personal accounts. I have no proof, but she has been investigated more than once for
misappropriation of campaign donations.
AOC
Goes Defcon 10 on AIPAC. The Democratic Party is undergoing a civil war over Gaza and
Israel. Traditional Democrats like Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are
pro-Israel. Possibly this has something to do with the fact that American Jews contribute a
large portion — last time I saw the numbers, more than half — of all campaign
funds for Democratic candidates. To be fair, however, it may also reflect basic human
decency. But the newer generation of Democrats, represented by the Squad, is not
impressed. They hate Israel and don't much like Jews. And the Squad speaks for lots of
Democrats: Joe Biden's approval ratings have fallen among Democrats, apparently because many
object to the pro-Israel stance he has taken in connection with the Gazan massacres.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, never a team player, weighed in yesterday with an over-the-top attack on
AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. AIPAC is a grass roots and lobbying
organization that supports Israel.

Ocasio-Cortez Suggests Americans Must Be Ready to Import Palestinians.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), a leading voice of the Democrat Party's far-left wing,
is suggesting Americans must be ready to bring Palestinians to their communities. During an
interview on CNN, Ocasio-Cortez was asked whether Arab countries in the Middle East ought to open
their borders to Palestinians rather than the United States. In response, Ocasio-Cortez
suggested she would support such Arab countries taking in Palestinians, but Americans would also
need to be open to refugee resettlement.
AOC
says 'anti-Semitic' Christian fundamentalism in the US is partially to blame for the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York is
naming Christian fundamentalism as a key driver of the ongoing conflict between Israel and
Palestine, pointing to recent US actions in the region. Speaking on local New York radio
station Hot 97/WQHT on Thursday morning, the progressive Democratic congresswoman argued that the
conflict was not simply the result of Islamic fundamentalism and Israeli extremism. "It's not
just Islamic, it's not just Jewish, it is also Christian," said Ocasio-Cortez. "In the United
States of America, Christian fundamentalism and nationalism — which has also been
extremely anti-Semitic — has also aligned itself with some of the most right-wing and
authoritarian and inflammatory powers in the region."
AOC
finally breaks ranks with Hateful Eight Squad members and condemns appalling anti-Semitic rallies
in NYC and across the US. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has broken with members of her
far-left 'squad' of Democrat lawmakers to condemn the 'unacceptable' Pro-Palestine rallies in NYC.
'It should not be hard to shut down hatred and antisemitism where we see it,' AOC said in a
statement Monday. 'That is a core tenet of solidarity. The bigotry and callousness
expressed in Times Square on Sunday were unacceptable and harmful in this devastating moment.' A
pro-Palestinian mob took over Times Square on Sunday, just one day after terrorist organization
Hamas launched its assault on Israel that has left more than 1,000 people dead.
AOC's
call for higher taxes on New York's 'top 5%' would hit households earning more than $250K, analysis
shows. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's recent call to raise taxes on New York's
highest-earning 5 percent would hit households making $250,000 or more, according to a new
analysis. The firebrand Democrat signed on to a statement issued last month by the New York
City Democratic Socialists, calling on the city and state to 'fund resources for all New Yorkers'
by raising taxes on the top 5 percent. In an analysis on Monday for the Wall Street Journal,
Tim Hoefer, the CEO of conservative think tank Empire Center for Public Policy, accused the
congresswoman of attempting to redefine the term 'rich'.
AOC
leaps to the defense of Jamaal Bowman claiming he pulled fire alarm in a 'moment of panic' at
government shutdown vote. Progressive Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has
leapt to the defense of fellow New York representative Jamaal Bowman as he faces criticism for
pulling a fire alarm in the Capitol on Saturday. AOC told CNN's Jake Tapper on Sunday that
Bowman's actions occurred in a 'moment of panic,' exacerbated by the pressure and chaos of
attempting to avert a government shutdown — which Congress successfully did late on Saturday.
'I think there's something to be said that the government's about to shut down, there's a vote
clock that's going down, the exits that are normally open in that building were suddenly closed,'
said Ocasio-Cortez.
Rep.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: The ridiculous specter of a socialist explaining a socialist
hellhole. The border is in crisis, with a record-setting 304,162 migrants from more
than 100 countries crossing into the U.S. in August alone. Experts are somewhat baffled as to
why the surge is suddenly so strong now. But not Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who has
her answer to why it's happening: U.S. sanctions on Venezuela. She spoke to Face the
Nation's Margaret Brennan yesterday, and on the transcript, you can see she started out kind of
Kamala Harris-ish, repeating herself and stating the obvious: [Transcripts, video clip]
It was drivel straight from the Chavista propaganda playbook, whose priority is keeping the Maduro
dictatorship and all its cronies billionaires. Of course the Maduro regime doesn't like
sanctions. They've got arms to trade and cocaine to deal and cronies to enrich.
AOC Gets
Brutally Fact-Checked By Witness During Climate Hearing. Congresswoman Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) weathered a bruising fact check from Kathleen Sgamma the president of the
Western Energy Alliance during a hearing of the House Natural Resources Committee on Tuesday.
Sgamma dismissed her claims on U.S. production of greenhouse gases as "complete falsehood." At
the outset of the hearing, the New York Democrat began by stating a long-debunked claim that the
oil and natural gas production that takes place in U.S. federal accounts for 25% of the nation's
total emissions, a figure that seems absurd on its face, and declared this to be her justification
for her economically disastrous 'Green New Deal' policies. Sgamma however, quickly worked to
disabuse the hearing of these counterfactual notions. She pointed out that AOC's claim had
already been withdrawn by the Department of the Interior and was rooted in a fundamental (and
possibly deliberate) misreading of the statistics around greenhouse gas production.
Markey,
Ocasio-Cortez ask Biden to create Civilian Climate Corps by executive order.
Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), two of Congress's
most vocal proponents for aggressive climate action, on Monday called for President Biden to
establish a Civilian Climate Corps (CCC). The CCC had been a key element in early versions of
the Build Back Better Act, the sweeping environmental and infrastructure bill. It was not
ultimately included in the slimmed-down Inflation Reduction Act, which nonetheless was the largest
climate bill in U.S. history. Biden was a vocal backer of the CCC early in his presidency,
comparing it to the Civilian Conservation Corps introduced during the presidency of Franklin Delano
Roosevelt. The original legislation called for $10 billion to launch the program.
New
Yorkers Aren't Buying It. New York has long been a "sanctuary city," but when
busloads of illegal immigrants began showing up, that changed rapidly. Mayor Eric Adams says
that the presence of 58,000 or so illegal immigrants threatens to destroy the city, and blames the
Biden administration. He's right about that. A group of New York pols that included
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Gerald Nadler, and others toured the Roosevelt Hotel, epicenter of the
fiasco, and held a press conference afterward. It did not go well. They were shouted
down by normal New Yorkers who want their city back. AOC offered the universal Democrat
solution — more money from the federal government, borrowed from our
children! — but the crowd wasn't having it.
AOC's
constituents slam her claim inflation is propaganda: 'Is she crazy?'. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez might want her followers to believe inflation is "propaganda" — but her
constituents aren't buying it. The firebrand Democratic congresswoman used her Instagram
stories to share a video from New Zealand's left-wing Aotearoa Liberation League in which an
activist claimed the "propaganda" surrounding inflation was designed to protect "greedy
shareholders," who are truly to blame for the rising cost of living. But when The [New York]
Post visited Ocasio-Cortez's constituents in the 14th district, which comprises areas in both
Queens and in the southeastern part of the Bronx, all of them reported economic pain and many said
the Biden administration should not be left off the hook.
The
splooting squirrel: a true picture of climate change alarmists. By the turn of the
21st century, the American people were already afflicted with climate grievance hustlers. It
would be laughable to hear AOC tell us that the world has only twelve years left if she didn't have
so much influence in the world of politics. It would be beyond hysterically funny to see
Greta Thunberg hiding from her prediction in 2018 that the world would end in five years if we
didn't stop using fossil fuels — except that this disturbed girl is worshiped all over
the world in the church of climate change. It's worth noting that both these women enjoy very
posh lives. AOC wears designer clothes worth more than I make in a month when she goes to
functions where tickets cost more than I make in a year. She doesn't pay for these
things. She just gets them from people who adore her. Greta Thunberg travels the world
in a luxury yacht because she refuses to fly. She didn't work to earn the yacht. It's
just supplied to her with a crew. The crew flies to get to the yacht when Greta gets
wanderlust, and they fly home when she's done traveling. That's a lot of carbon emissions to
support Greta's carbon-free traveling, but I digress.
How
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Plans to Limit the Power of the Supreme Court. It's easy to
take potshots at Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) because the New York Democrat makes it
incomprehensibly easy. It's as if she knows her views and statements will elicit the wrath of
conservative America; some are justified, while others you could brush off. It would be wise
to use her as a barometer on the pulse of the Left because she has a handle on it. Her
outrageous statements about almost subject are what progressive America believes. Right now,
the Supreme Court, the third branch of government, has been added to the hit list. That never
was the case until Donald Trump decided to fill three vacancies, sending the Left into a
tailspin. So, are we shocked that Ms. Ocasio-Cortez wants to go to war with the
institution that, by design, is impervious to what she thinks keeps it accountable?
AOC
proposes subpoenas and impeachment to limit SCOTUS justices' power following landmark
decisions. Democratic "Squad" member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.,
slammed the U.S. Supreme Court for what she called an "abuse of power" Sunday, following landmark
decisions this past week rejecting affirmative action and Biden's student loan debt plan. She
proposed impeachment and subpoenas be put into play in order to limit the justices' power. "The
Supreme Court is far overreaching their authority," Ocasio-Cortez said on CNN's "State of the
Union." "And I believe, frankly, that we really need to be having conversations about
judicial review as a check on the courts as well," she added.
Ocasio-Cortez
nailed with backlash over bizarre response to Supreme Court decision on affirmative action: 'Absolute
gibberish'. Socialist Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York was
lambasted over her bizarre response to the decision Thursday by the Supreme Court against
affirmative action in higher education. Ocasio-Cortez added her voice to the bitter, angry
chorus of liberals decrying the decision, but she added her own interpretation that many found
lacking online. "If SCOTUS was serious about their ludicrous 'colorblindness' claims, they
would have abolished legacy admissions, aka affirmative action for the privileged," Ocasio-Cortez
tweeted. "70% of Harvard's legacy applicants are white. SCOTUS didn't touch that —
which would have impacted them and their patrons," she added. Critics of the far-left activist
pointed out that it would have been impossible for the Supreme Court to abolish legacy admissions
without a current case opposing the policy going before the court.
The Green
New Deal is full of holes, with AOC leading the charge to fall into them. The New
York congresswoman plans to drastically "cut carbon emissions across the economy from electricity
generation to transportation to agriculture," to "create jobs" and "boost the economy."
Revealing the truth, her chief of staff stated the Green New Deal "wasn't originally a climate
thing at all," rather, "we really think of it as how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing,"
"moving the U.S. economy entirely away from fossil fuels within 10 years, while simultaneously
providing federal jobs and health care guarantee," advancing "social, economic, racial, regional
and gender-based justice and equality and cooperative — and public ownership." So,
the Green New Deal is simply a Marxist-Leninist plan to destroy the U.S. economy and transform
America into a full-fledged socialist nation costing $93 trillion in new government spending
over a decade, while 2022 U.S. GDP was only $25 trillion.
Shocker:
96% of U.S. climate data is corrupted. You probably heard how AOC was quick to blame
the clouds of smoke wafting down from the Canadian wildfires last week on climate change. As
you likely expected without even needing to check, that turns out to be nonsense. But the
underlying facts that prove its nonsensical nature turn out to be well rooted in science. [...] You
should check out the work of veteran meteorologist Anthony Watts of the Heartland Institute.
He's been studying the weather and the climate in general for a very long time. He travels
around the country inspecting meteorological equipment and studies historical weather data from
around the world. One of the first findings he would like the public to be aware of is that
not only are wildfires common in many parts of North America, but the reality is that in the 21st
century, they have actually been less numerous than they were in the past. They're just
getting more attention from the press and on social media.
AOC
Is One Election Away From Chairing Committee In Charge of US Oil and Gas Drilling on Public
Lands. In an interesting turn of events, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the Democratic
Representative who is recognized for her role in pushing the controversial Green New Deal into
mainstream dialogue, finds herself on the cusp of chairing the House subcommittee overseeing
America's oil and gas drilling on public lands, as reported by E&E News on Tuesday.
Currently, Ocasio-Cortez is the ranking member of the Energy and Mineral Resources Subcommittee,
thereby positioning her as a likely candidate for leading the committee. If the Democrats
manage to secure control over the House in 2024, she could use this platform to propel an
assertively progressive climate agenda.
Mock them
till they cry. The big news this week is Elon Musk retweeted a tweet by an account
called "Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Press Release (parody)." [...] The parody account also tweeted,
"Printing money is the only way out of inflation." And, "If Congress would've passed my
93 trillion dollar Green New Deal, inflation would be 0.00% right now." And, "If we don't
move to 100% green energy soon — car emissions will kill off the human race just like it
did the Dinosaurs." [...] Snopes swooped in to tell the world that a parody account's tweets are a
parody. It said, "No, AOC Didn't Say 'Printing Money Is the Only Way Out of Inflation.'"
Snopes is fact-checking jokes. I await its declaration that the chicken did not cross the road
and that Who really isn't playing first base. Politico — which never fact-checked
RussiaGate — announced, "No, that isn't the real AOC you may have seen on Twitter.
"An account impersonating the New York congresswoman cropped up over the weekend, going viral and
catching the attention of Twitter's owner and the lawmaker herself." Reuters routinely Fact
Checks conservative jokes, hoaxes and mistakes — but never lefty ones such as the
J6 insurrection (it was a protest).
NYC
town hall descends into chaos as foul-mouthed hecklers hurl abuse at AOC. A town hall
meeting held by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in Queens on Friday night descended into farce
as the firebrand was called [names] and berated for her views on Ukraine, migrants, drag
queen story hours and the debt ceiling. The meeting was held in the Corona neighborhood,
AOC's constituency. Her constituents were not in welcoming mood, especially when the town
hall moved to to the question and answer stage. 'American citizens before migrants,' one
heckler yelled. Others chanted: 'America first.'
AOC's
call for trucker boycott of Florida an embarrassing flop. Representative Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez has humiliated herself, apparently in the false belief that truckers care what she
thinks. She took to Twitter to call for a trucker boycott of shipments to Florida because of
what she terms "anti-immigrant" policies of Governor Ron DeSantis, deliberately conflating legal
with illegal immigration, the target of DeSantis's recent bill. [...] But as Jake Welch of The
National Pulse points out, there has been no discernable effect, despite media lies to the contrary: [...]
AOC
former aide now leader of New York Communist Party. A former aide to
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is now a senior official within the New York State
Communist Party. Records, first reported on by The New York Post, show 33-year-old Justine
Medina worked for Ocasio-Cortez's campaign for much of 2020, earning around $35,000. After
working for the congresswoman, Medina was named "Co-chair of the New York Communist League" by the
People's World, a publication of the Communist Party. The publication now lists Medina as
serving on the Executive Committee of the New York State Communist Party who is also active in the
Amazon Labor Union at JFK8. As an aide to Ocasio-Cortez, Medina said she was responsible for
"organizing and writing policy language with Anti-War Veterans & the Peace Movement."
Medina's years-old tweets highlighted by The Post show her unapologetically proclaiming her
alignment with communism.
Liberals
sure like dead black men. [Scroll down] No, this column is about black men
killed by non-liberal white people or in the case of George Zimmerman, a Hispanic. AOC used
the death in a subway train of Jordan Neely to create a new saint for the church of black
victimhood. A violent man, he went crazy in a subway train last Thursday afternoon. The
transit police were unavailable. Passengers subdued him. He died after being held in
what we are told was a chokehold. AOC went on a tweet rant based on few facts and many
emotions. Judge, jury and executioner, she tweeted, "Jordan Neely was murdered. But
because Jordan was houseless and crying for food in a time when the city is raising rents and
stripping services to militarize itself while many in power demonize the poor, the murderer gets
protected with passive headlines and no charges. It's disgusting." Houseless has
replaced homeless which replaced bum.
In
a World Gone Mad, the Jordan Neelys Rule. Jordan Neely was a mentally ill homeless
man who had terrorized the citizens of New York — especially subway passengers —
for many years. He had been arrested at least 40 times for crimes ranging from assault to
disorderly conduct and fare evasion. And on the day of his death, several eyewitnesses report
that Neely had made repeated threats to the well-being of passengers, "stating his willingness to
'hurt anyone' and saying that he was unbothered by the prospect of returning to jail or being killed,"
according to NRO. [Tweet] Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says Jordan Neely was
"murdered" because he "was houseless and crying for food in a time when the city is raising rents
and stripping services to militarize itself." So passengers and bystanders are just supposed
to allow Mr. Neely to terrorize and assault them with no thought of defending themselves?
You picked the wrong hobby horse to ride, AOC. [Tweet] AOC also didn't mention this
attack on the gay community. [Tweet]
You may also find this informative, in regard to Mr. Neely: Video
Of Jordan Neely Defecating In A Subway Station, Then Walking Around Naked (NSFW).
A video of a schizophrenic homeless man, Jordan Neely, [defecating] and then walking around naked in a
NYC subway station has surfaced. The media and BLM have done their best to portray Neely as a
friendly Micheal Jackson impersonator when in reality he was a dangerous individual with a long,
violent arrest record with little regard for the law. [Video clip]
After
years of violence on the streets, AOC pretends to care about incitement again. The
First Amendment is one of several foundational pillars that make the United States unique in its
almost-unwavering written protection of religion, protest, and most importantly of all,
speech. But like all freedoms, there are exceptions. When it comes to speech, for
example, there are categories of expression that fall outside the protections of the First
Amendment, including obscenity, child pornography, and speech that incites violence —
and it's the latter that stands as an opportunity for authoritarian, would-be fascists among us to
silence their enemies. According to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), media
companies should be held accountable for "incitement of violence." And by media companies,
she means Fox News.
AOC
admits 'massive' scale of Green New Deal, says climate change will be even worse.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., defended her reintroduction of the Green New Deal on
Sunday, admitting the bill was "massive," but saying the threat of climate change is even
greater. Ocasio-Cortez made the comments during a Sunday interview with MSNBC host Jen
Psaki. The divisive lawmaker introduced her Green New Deal for the second time last week,
arguing that it is time to "aggressively" transform the American workforce. "You just
reintroduced the Green New Deal," Psaki began. "When you talk about big, expensive new
programs, that's where you sometimes hit resistance, I think. How do you convince those
people, people who believe climate change is real, it is a crisis, but they're concerned that some
of these proposed solutions are too grand?" "It is important to acknowledge that the scale
and the scope of what we are proposing is massive, but the scale and the scope of the climate
crisis is even bigger," Ocasio-Cortez responded.
The Editor says...
Let me put this several different ways: There is no climate crisis. There is no urgency.
No action is required to deal with the gradually-changing climate. Carbon dioxide is not a
pollutant. Any money spent on "fighting climate change" is money down the drain.
AOC
accuses Tucker Carlson of 'very, very clearly' inciting violence, flaunts her stunning ignorance of
government regulation. It will surprise absolutely no one who reads American Thinker
to learn that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is utterly ignorant on a topic she discussed in an
interview with Jen Psaki on MSNBC and that she flung baseless serious charges at a leading
conservative while offering no evidence whatsoever. Pam Key of Breitbart took one for the
team and watched the entire 17-and-a-half-minute interview, so you don't have to endure the flaming
idiocy. [...] Ocasio-Cortez said, "I believe that when it comes to broadcast television, like Fox
News, these are subject to federal law, federal regulation in terms of what's allowed on air and
what isn't. When you look at what Tucker Carlson and some of these others folks on Fox do, it
is very, very clearly incitement of violence, very clearly incitement of violence. That is
the line that I think we have to be willing to contend with." As a lawmaker, Ocasio-Cortez
ought to know that Fox News is not broadcast television. It is distributed via cable,
satellite, and streaming services. It has no FCC licenses the way that terrestrial broadcast
stations, such as those carrying NBC programming, do. This is elementary and fundamental to
understanding the video business and has been the case since the dawn of cable television.
AOC
Targets Tucker Carlson With Grossly Authoritarian Threat. Democrats constantly talk
about how much they want to protect "democracy." It's become parodic at this point, with every
single thing the left doesn't like being described as a threat to democratic governance. When
you take a step back, though, it becomes obvious who the real threat is. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez illustrated that perfectly in an interview that aired Sunday. While on MSNBC,
the New York congresswoman spoke to Jen Psaki, which just rounds out the absurdity of the entire
scene. The former press secretary for Joe Biden, one of the biggest political hacks in
existence, is now cosplaying as an unbiased journalist, but I digress. The conversation moved
to the supposed danger that Tucker Carlson poses to the general public, with Ocasio-Cortez accusing
the top-rated host of "incitement to violence." She also called for government regulations that
would remove Carlson and others she disagrees with from the air.
Democrats
tell us to ignore the Constitution again. A federal judge in Texas recently ruled
that the Food and Drug Administration's initial authorization of the abortion pill Mifepristone was
improper and has therefore suspended the pill's approval. This caused unhinged leftists like
Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) to clutch their
pearls — and beg "The Big Guy" to once again ignore the Constitution. After the
Texas judge issued his decision, Wyden tweeted: "...the Biden administration can and must ignore
the judge and keep mifepristone on the market and this medication available for every woman in
America." AOC parroted much the same notion to CNN's Anderson Cooper, flatly telling him: "the
Biden Administration should ignore this ruling," after which she appeared on Dana Bash's CNN
program and said the same thing.
Democrats
Seek to Remove the only Black Male from the Supreme Court. The Democrat News-Media
Complex (the DNC) has "discovered" another intolerable crisis that they hope may enable them to
impeach the only black male, Clarence Thomas, on the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) in
order to remove him from that position. That's so that Joe Biden can put perhaps another
black woman on the court who doesn't know what a woman is, because that, not expertise in the
Constitution, is the primary qualification for a SCOTUS seat by the Biden administration.
AOC, given her zeal for "social justice" [that is, injustice], says she is willing to file the
articles of impeachment herself. One might normally think that removing the only black male
on the Court is a clear case of racism, but it is not because AOC is a Democrat and socialist and
Justice Thomas is a Republican. Anyone who disagrees is a racist.
Law
Professor Slaps Down AOC's Calls to Impeach Clarence Thomas. The left is still
melting down after the latest "scandal" involving Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas broke last
week, prompting Democrats to call for his impeachment and replacement. Socialist
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who is mired in a number of ethics investigations, joined
impeachment calls and claimed trips Thomas has taken with a wealthy friend for twenty years are
unethical. [Tweet] Not surprisingly, she appears not to know what she's talking about and
is being taken to school by George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley. [Tweet]
Should
AOC Be Removed From Congress? I pose that question based not upon my standards, but
hers. Given the attention being paid to the expulsion of lawmakers over the last week —
my overall thoughts on the Tennessee kerfuffle are [elsew]here — it's a relevant topic
these days. Many on the Left have been hyping a ProPublica report that leaves a
distinct impression of unethical impropriety on the part of US Supreme Court Clarence Thomas,
whom they've been smearing since his confirmation hearings decades ago. At The
Federalist, David Harsanyi assesses the allegations: [...] One of those 'usual suspects' is the
easily-excitable and perpetually outraged Democratic Congresswoman from New York, Alexandria Ocasio
Cortez. Having read the ProPublica story, or perhaps just tweets about it, she decided
that its subject must be impeached and removed from the Court. It didn't matter that, as
others have noted, "Thomas was not required to disclose the gifts under the rules at the time."
AOC was absolutely certain — and she's never anything other than absolutely certain —
that Justice Thomas must go: [Tweet]
AOC
Calls On Biden To 'Ignore' Texas Judge's Abortion Pill Ruling In Unprecedented Move.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) called for President Joe Biden to "ignore" a Texas
judge's ruling which stopped the approval of an abortion pill. On Friday, U.S. District Judge
Matthew Kacsmaryk ordered the FDA not to approve mifepristone due to an ongoing lawsuit challenging
the safety of the abortive pill. Despite the Biden administration announcing plans to appeal
Kacsmaryk's decision, Democrats like AOC have called on the president to merely ignore the
decision. "The interesting thing when it comes to a ruling is that it relies on enforcement.
And it is up to the Biden administration to enforce, to choose whether or not to enforce a ruling,"
AOC told CNN.
Democrats
Launch Into Apoplectic Rage Over Abortion Ruling, AOC Makes Insurrectionist Call on
CNN. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who I'm assured is very concerned about
democracy, called to undermine the US system of government on Friday evening. While appearing
with CNN's Anderson Cooper, the far-left congresswoman said that the Biden administration should
outright ignore a recent federal court ruling staying FDA approval of an abortion drug. The
decision, which also came down on Friday evening, set the left into an apoplectic rage.
Democrat politicians and commentators alike slammed the judge, suggesting that he was illegitimate
and that unborn babies are not, in fact, human.
AOC
Issues Nasty and Possibly Violent Threat to Republicans Following Expulsion of Two Radical
Tennessee Democrats. Rep. Alexandria-Ocasio Cortez (AOC) threatened Republicans
yesterday following the expulsion of two radical Tennessee House Democrats after they helped lead
an insurrection last week inside the State Capitol. The Gateway Pundit previously reported
Rep. Justin Jones and Rep. Justin Pearson were booted from the Tennessee State
legislature for helping lead an insurrection inside the Tennessee State Capitol. This was the
first time in the state's history that a partisan expulsion happened. Unfortunately,
Rep. Johnson survived being expelled by one vote.
Libs
Of TikTok Confronts AOC For Violating Committee Ethics Rules — Her Response Is
Predictable. Whenever leftists are confronted by facts and evidence, their go-to
response is always to accuse their opponents of some kind of "phobia" rather than address the
issues at hand. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez does not disappoint in that regard when faced with
an ethics violation delivered by Libs Of TikTok founder Chaya Raichik. [Tweet] AOC accused
Libs Of TikTok of posting false information on Boston Children's Hospital engaged in gender
affirmation surgeries and inciting a bomb threat to the facility. The Boston Children's
Hospital did in fact erase references on their website to such surgeries available to 17-year-olds
after the Libs Of TikTok exposure. Studies at the same hospital also show it approved
gender-affirming chest surgeries for individuals over 15 years old and genital surgeries for those
over 17 years of age.
Move
Over, Pierre Delecto: It Looks as If AOC Has a Burner Account, and It's a Doozy. A
burner account, kids, is an anonymous account that a person, often a public figure, uses in order
to have the freedom to say things that the public figure in question wouldn't dare say if they
could be attributed to him or her. One of the most notorious burner accounts was Mitt
Romney's Pierre Delecto, which he used to champion the last principled, upright politician in the
land, a chap named Mitt Romney. Now, however, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been unmasked as
the operator of a burner account that gives old Pierre a run for his money. AOC has
apparently even used it to wish death on at least one person. What? You thought
Leftists were as sweet, loving, and tolerant as they claim to be? The account, @zazasmoka,
"zaza demon," has now been deleted, but screenshots abound, and there is evidence a-plenty that it
was AOC's account. First, the name: "Zaza" can be a short form of "Alexander" or, of course,
"Alexandria." But that's not what tied the account to AOC; the congresswoman did that herself
by replying as AOC on the zaza demon account, forgetting to switch back to her main account.
TikTok Shows
How Easy It Is to Buy Congress. There was a time when Americans used to sneer at
corrupt third worlders whose entire governments had a hand out. There was corruption in
America, but it was mostly internal and foreigners couldn't just walk in and bribe half the
government. Abscam was a shock to the system and then by the time the Clintons began renting
out the Lincoln Bedroom, followed by Harry Reid, the Bushes and then the Bidens getting into bed
with the Chinese, we've become not just corrupt, but laughably easy for the Chinese to buy up like
a dollar store. [...] Some say this explains AOC's newfound enthusiasm for TikTok. Either
way, it's absurdly easy for a foreign company operating under an enemy government to just show up
and start handing out cash to congressional groups with no apparent legal recourse. Remember
when Dems and the media were warning about foreign influence operations? Suddenly they don't
seem as interested in common sense reforms like preventing foreign companies from buying influence
in Congress.
Massive
Donations Come To Light After AOC Defends TikTok From Possible Ban. An organization
that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is a member of has accepted sizable donations from
ByteDance, the Chinese parent company of the social media platform TikTok, which the democratic
socialist recently defended from a possible nationwide ban. Jake Denton, a technology policy
expert at the Heritage Foundation, noted that Ocasio-Cortez is a member of the advisory council for
the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute, a nonprofit entity that received $150,000 at the end
of last year from ByteDance, according to a lobbying contribution report. "What a
coincidence," Denton said on social media. Ocasio-Cortez recently remarked on TikTok that a
ban of the platform over national security and privacy concerns would be "unprecedented" and said
that such a move does not "really address the core of the issue, which is the fact that major
social media companies are allowed to collect troves of deeply personal data about you that you do
not know about." She added that lawmakers should instead pass a broader data privacy bill for
social media firms.
AOC
[is] roasted over calling Republican parents' rights bill 'fascism:' 'Clown show every time she
talks'. U.S. House Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., was criticized by
conservatives on social media Thursday after she alleged that the Republican-sponsored Parents Bill
of Rights being considered in Congress is "fascist." The bill seeks to strengthen parents'
knowledge of and involvement in their children's education. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy
described the purpose of the bill as follows: "The Parents Bill of Rights has 5 pillars to ensure
parents have the right to have a voice in their kids' education: Right to know what's being taught
in schools and to see reading material; Right to be heard; Right to see school budget and spending;
Right to protect their child's privacy; [and] Right to be updated on any violent activity at
school." Ocasio-Cortez, however, slammed it as targeting LGBT youth and censoring racial
content, telling Republicans to "keep the culture wars out of classrooms."
The Editor says...
Who brought the culture wars into the classrooms? The far left. People who think like AOC.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez hadn't been paying the help. [Scroll down] She's got quite a
track record of not paying the help based on her appearance at the Met Gala last year, according to
revelations from the congressional ethics investigation on her. She not only took "gifts"
(really big gifts, which started with the $35,000 price of the ticket), but failed to pay in any
timely manner the staff who fluffed her up in her famous "Tax the Rich" gown that got her so much
fawning publicity. [...] This is an amazingly crummy way of treating tradespeople, who no doubt
gave their all to make Ocasio-Cortez look like a million bucks for the other Beautiful People at
that Vogue-sponsored gala. Ocasio-Cortez makes a six-figure congressional salary, so we know
she had the means to pay. She just didn't want to, and had there not been a congressional
ethics investigation, she might not have. Most of these people who went unpaid for months
weren't high-paid workers, as Nicole Gelinas wrote in her excellent description of the scandal for
the New York Post.
AOC:
Tax the Rich, Except For Me. In socialist countries, the political elites nobly and
selflessly refrain from enjoying the fruits of the workers' paradise they create. Instead of
living in soulless apartment blocks, eating stale and unpalatable scraps, and toiling all day at
state-owned factories for the sole benefit of the state itself, they luxuriate in magnificent
dwellings and feast on lobster and caviar. The rules are for those who actually believe in
the socialist propaganda or who have no choice but to comply. Those who actually make the
rules in the dictatorship of the proletariat don't feel any obligation to live as if they really
were proletarians. It works the same way among socialists in the U.S., as has been made
abundantly clear in the congressional ethics investigation of one of the nation's foremost
spokespeople for the workers, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Swizzle Stick).
AOC
begged to go to exclusive Met Gala, even if it meant breaking the rules. So AOC came
by the biggest part of her Met Gala grift the old-fashioned way: trading off of the elected
position with which Bronx and Queens voters entrusted her. AOC snagged two free tickets
(after much prodding by her campaign staffer) by cozying up to Vogue's Anna Wintour, who runs this
show for the Met. AOC's written invitation specifically informed her that she and her
boyfriend were "guests of Vogue." Little problem: members of Congress can't take
near-seven-figure gifts from companies that employ lobbyists. Vogue is part of a sprawling
media firm, including the firm that owns a big piece of Spectrum, our highly regulated internet provider.
Ocasio-Cortez
mocked on Twitter for bragging about killing thousands of Amazon jobs: 'Resign in disgrace'.
Proud of her efforts that resulted in the potential loss of tens of thousands of jobs, Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., recently bragged about dissuading Amazon from building another headquarters in New
York City. She also slammed the naysayers who she claimed never apologized for criticizing her over
it. Critics came back to knock the "Squad" member on social media for the post, claiming she doesn't
"deserve an apology" and should "resign."
AOC
blames staffer for not paying 2021 Met Gala expenses amid House probe into improperly accepted
gifts. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., blamed a member of her staff for
not paying the "several thousands of dollars' worth of goods and services" for her attendance at
the 2021 Met Gala. The House Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) opened an investigation
into whether Ocasio-Cortez violated House rules by improperly accepting gifts at the Met Gala, but
the congresswoman claimed she was unaware and proceeded to let a staff member take the blame.
While speaking to investigators, Ocasio-Cortez said that she was unaware of unpaid expenses related
to the dress she wore and stylists that helped her get ready for the Met Gala in 2021. "I just
never, ever, ever would have allowed that to happen knowing what I have learned," she said. "But I
wasn't privy to the invoices, wasn't privy to the ones that had been sent."
AOC likely
violated federal law by receiving 'impermissible gifts' for Met Gala appearance, House ethics office
says. A nonpartisan congressional agency found "substantial reason to believe" New
York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez broke federal law by receiving "impermissible
gifts" associated with her appearance at the Met Gala in 2021. The House Office of
Congressional Ethics declared on Thursday that AOC "may have accepted impermissible gifts
associated with her attendance at the Met Gala in 2021." "Rep. Ocasio-Cortez received a
series of goods and services which she did not pay for until the OCE opened this review," the House
Office of Congressional Ethics proclaimed in its report.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez Rips Pro-Christian Super Bowl Ads as 'Fascist'. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)
said Sunday she did not believe Jesus would support pro-Christian Super Bowl commercials because they make fascism "look
benign." The Christian group "He Gets Us" spent some $20 million on two advertisements that aired during Sunday's
Super Bowl portraying Jesus Christ as loving "the people we hate."
AOC
serves up disinformation about Hunter Biden — and us. "I believe that political operatives who
sought to inject explosive disinformation with the Washington Post couldn't get away with it — and now
they're livid," railed Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in Wednesday's hearings about Twitter censoring the Hunter Biden
story. First off, Congresswoman, we're the New York Post. We understand how you can get confused
since you don't spent much time in the city that elected you. But that's the least of your problems. For
someone who claims to be an opponent of "disinformation," you sure shovel enough horse manure to fill an MSNBC
studio. The Hunter Biden laptop was indeed "explosive" but not fake. If you don't believe us, you can read
the confirmations and follow-up reporting in countless other publications, including the Washington Post. Or you
can believe Hunter Biden, who admitted it was his laptop in legal letters last week.
AOC
loses battle to slow GOP push to expand new oil, natural gas leases on federal land. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez on Tuesday failed to slow down the House Republican push for new oil and gas leases on federal land after
GOP lawmakers shot down her attempt to require further study of the public health impacts of energy extraction.
The House Natural Resources Committee met Tuesday to adopt its work plan for the new Congress. Included in that
plan is language that says the Biden administration has leased fewer federal acres for oil and gas development than "any
presidential administration" since the end of World War II. "The Committee will examine the lack of oil and
natural gas leasing on federal lands in the western United States, including focusing on administrative actions that
have created permitting delays and disincentivized production on federal lands," the committee's plan said.
The
New #2 Dem on House Oversight Committee Paid Thousands to Chinese Foreign Agent. According to a review of
campaign finance documents, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), who was recently named the number two Democrat
on the House Oversight Committee, was among four House members who paid thousands of dollars to a Chinese foreign agent
last year. Sing Tao U.S., a subsidiary of the Hong Kong-based Sing Tao News Corporation Ltd., was paid nearly
$1,500 in advertising expenses during the midterm election cycle. The payments were made after Sing Tao U.S. was
compelled to register as a foreign agent by the Department of Justice, which determined it was engaging in foreign
political activity.
Keywords: Lobbyists, echo chamber, talking points. The
Creepy Cult Surrounding the Gas Stove Panic Gets Exposed. If you've been on social media the last day or
so, you've probably noticed there's a moral panic occurring over gas stoves. According to Democrats far and wide,
they are dangerous, cause asthma, and must be banned by the federal government. As RedState reported,
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez pushed that line on Tuesday, resulting in much mockery given she herself has a gas
stove. But what's astonishing is that amidst her absolute certainty on the topic, she had never even mentioned the
issue prior. [Tweet] In other words, in the span of just 24 hours, Ocasio-Cortez saw some questionable
study, promoted it on the internet, gained legions of supporters for her position, and then tried to pretend that
everyone else had been ignoring her desperate calls. As Charles W. Cook notes, it's cultish behavior.
Is there anything the New York congresswoman could say that her army of simps wouldn't agree with? And none of
them even gave a second thought as to whether what she was saying was true or made any sense. It wasn't just
Ocasio-Cortez, though. Other Democrats lined up to preach the dangers of gas stoves, having all suddenly
become experts on the matter. [Tweet]
Consumer
Safety Commission Walks Back Gas-Stove Threat amid Backlash. U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
chairman Alexander D. Hoehn-Saric issued a statement Wednesday assuring the public that his agency has no intention
of banning gas stoves after a commission official drew the ire of the cooking public by suggesting the appliances might
be banned in the near future due to the alleged health threat they pose to Americans. "Over the past several days,
there has been a lot of attention paid to gas stove emissions and to the Consumer Product Safety Commission,"
Hoehn-Saric wrote in an official statement released Wednesday. "To be clear, I am not looking to ban gas stoves and the
CPSC has no proceeding to do so." Commissioner Richard Trumka Jr. had originally told Bloomberg News that fears
over air quality caused by gas stoves was creating "a hidden hazard." "Any option is on the table. Products
that can't be made safe can be banned," Trumka Jr. insisted. The comments came following Senator Cory Booker
(D., N.J.) and Representative Don Beyer (D., Va.) urging the federal agency to investigate the issue due to its
allegedly disproportionate impact on black, Latino, and low-income households.

Wait, is this a solution to global warming, air pollution, asthma, or access/equity/fairness/racism?
AOC
helped stuff omnibus bill with pork before voting no. New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez pushed for spending pork in the House's omnibus appropriations bill before voting "no" on the package due
to its increase in homeland security funding. The House passed the massive $1.7 trillion package Friday, with the
national debt sitting well above $31 trillion, before leaving Washington for Christmas break. Ocasio-Cortez
was the lone Democrat to vote against the 4,000-page bill, citing her campaign promise to "oppose additional expansion
and funding" of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Migrant
shelters are overflowing and a border crisis is about to explode - but AOC is AWOL. It's lights, camera,
action on America's southern border. But progressive hero, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is nowhere to be seen.
That's curious. Usually, she can't resist a close-up. This Sunday, every major network news was laser-focused
on a humanitarian crisis primed to explode along the U.S. Mexico border, as the last remaining shred of President Donald
Trump's illegal immigration policies are about to be scrapped.
AOC's
Climate-change Documentary Flops at Box Office. If you hadn't heard that far-Left Congresswoman Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) had produced and starred in a new film about her fight for a "Green New Deal," you're not alone.
Released in 120 theaters last Friday, AOC's new film, To the End, took in less than $10,000 in its
opening weekend — a paltry $80 per theater. The schoolgirl congresswoman first came to relevance in
2018 when she won a House seat in the Democratic stronghold known as New York's 14th District by ousting long-term
Democrat Joe Crowley in a primary upset. AOC quickly made climate change her signature issue, having famously
quipped, "The world is gonna end in 12 years if we don't address climate change."
AOC
Under Investigation By House Ethics Committee. According to a statement released Wednesday,
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is under investigation by the House Ethics Committee. While the
statement was vague about the reason behind the investigation, it did announce that the Office of Congressional Ethics
forwarded an inquiry regarding Ocasio-Cortez to the Ethics Committee on June 23, 2022. The inquiry suggested
that Ocasio-Cortez had violated the House Ethics rules. [...] While the Committee's statement did not say specifically
what the focus of the investigation is, several ethics watchdog organizations filed complaints against Ocasio-Cortez due
to her attendance at the Met Gala last year. the organizations claim that Ocasio-Cortez received "an impermissible gift"
when she attended the 2021 Met Gala for free, while tickets were reportedly between $35,000 and $50,000.
AOC
under Investigation by House Ethics Committee. The House Committee on Ethics said Wednesday it is investigating
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.). The panel released a statement saying the Office of Congressional Ethics
forwarded its inquiry into the progressive congresswoman to the panel in June, which typically suggests the office believes
an ethics law was violated. It was not immediately clear what the investigation was about.
Guess
Who's Trying To Cause Problems With The Railroad Tentative Agreement? This morning, in the post on Biden
wanting Congress to vote to approve the Tentative Agreement, I ended with ["][Biden] also wants, again,
zero changes. No adding this or that or the other from Democrats or Republicans. Who's your bet on the first
to attempt to attach ryders to the bill? I'm going with Squad members.["] This didn't take long
[Tweets from the Squad!]
AOC
thinks free speech literally means you don't have to pay for it. This is a real thing that a real United
States congressperson actually tweeted. The honorable Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sent this "zinger" out last night
to try and roast Elon Musk and his plan to charge an $8 subscription fee for a blue checkmark on Twitter.
[Tweet] Yes, AOC thinks "free speech" means you don't have to pay money to post things in certain places.
This is so, so close to a Babylon Bee prophecy.
Permissible
and Impermissible Incendiary Speech? United States Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) hit
the airwaves to connect the recent assault on Paul Pelosi with "fascism" and "white nationalism." She insists that both
are now ubiquitous. And both prompt increasing politically motivated violence. (Ocasio-Cortez remains oblivious to
the greatest sustained political violence in our recent history; the 120 days of Black Lives Matter and Antifa-fueled
rioting, arson, looting, and mayhem of summer and fall 2020 — often cheered on or defended by public
officials and social media.)
AOC:
Vast Majority of Domestic Terror Comes From White Nationalism. According to Representative Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez, the vast majority domestic terror incidents comes from so-called "white nationalism" because "American
apartheid" has never fully healed. AOC made the comments on MSNBC's "All In" while discussing the attack on Nancy
Pelosi's husband at his San Francisco home early Friday morning. [Video clip]
AOC
Was Humiliated Again At A Town Hall In Her Backyard Last Night. Just a few days ago, far-left
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez from New York was heckled by activists during a town hall event and last night things
got even worse! Yesterday at a town hall meeting, AOC was again confronted by protestors who chanted in chorus "AOC
has got to go!" In response, she runs out of the room as the lights go out and then comes back and acts like a
gangster to calm things down!
AOC
Appears to Have a Nervous Breakdown When Confronted by Protesters at Town Hall. It sure seems like AOC is
a person who isn't used to getting pushback. After all, she's perhaps the most over-hyped and pampered politician
in Washington, at least compared to what she contributes. Far from the working-class persona that she attempts to
cling to, she's settled in nicely among the elite. Somewhat ironically, the only reason AOC was at that town hall
to get heckled and jeered was that she skipped a debate with her general election opponent, Tina Forte.
The
Democrat Party Is Crumbling. [Scroll down] Let's take a look at what was and what is,
and how the truth is oozing out and killing the Democrats: [...] AOC was a media darling who walked on
water. She was recently gloriously outed by her followers as the fraud she is. She has never been anything
more than an "attractive-in-a-horsey way" communist looking to fill her pockets while forcing us to eat bugs, and now
her own fans are catching on. [Video clip]
AOC Confronted
by Angry Constituents at Town Hall. The United States has given more than $65 billion in aid to Ukraine
since Russia invaded the country in February, and there is no end in sight to taxpayers funding this war.
President Biden recently pledged to continue sending aid "for as long as it takes." As a result, the war looks
interminable and has brought the world closer to the brink of nuclear "Armageddon" (in Biden's words) than it has been
since the Cuban Missile Crisis.
AOC
viciously and falsely attacks a Republican representative. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a vapid,
histrionic, and hysterical leftist who has developed a cult following because she's photogenic, nobody dares criticize a
leftist woman nowadays, and her supporters are equally vapid, histrionic, and hysterical. This adulation has gone
to her head. On Thursday, Ocasio-Cortez was so hopped up on her own arrogance that she defamed a congressman twice
her age for allegedly yelling at a witness when, in fact, the witness yelled at him. Ocasio-Cortez is way too big
for her britches and is due a serious comeuppance. It started when Raya Salter appeared before the House Oversight
Committee for a hearing the Democrats had called regarding Big Oil's many sins regarding the "climate crisis" that
justifies so many Democrat excesses and abuses. Salter is a typical leftist. The tell is that she thinks she
is a plural ("she/they"), which already tips you off that you're dealing with someone who, rather than learning how to
cope with life's difficulties, identifies as a member of a protected class.
AOC
Is Afraid She Won't Live Through September Because You Hate Women. In a loving interview topped with
lavish glamor shots of the rising political star, a teary-eyed AOC revealed that there is such a tidal wave of misogyny
in the evil, MAGA-ridden United States today that she isn't even sure she will live through the month of
September. After all, you see all the far-Left Congresswomen being systematically picked off, right? You
don't? Remember: it's racist to judge Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez by the standards of actual reality. The
world-class fantasist, who thrilled us last year with her fears that the Jan. 6 "insurrectionists" were going to kill
her and worse, painted a grim picture of life in the oppressive police state where the only thing a poor Hispanic
girl from the Bronx has to look forward to is growing up to be a congresswoman and prospective presidential candidate
and posing for glamor shots for GQ.
The
Next Time You're Ready to ROFL at AOC. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, known to most as AOC, is personally
responsible for a cottage industry of funny memes, video parodies, and ROFL (i.e., rolling on the floor laughing) jokes, all
at her expense. Would you expect anything different from a beautiful woman who, with a sense of authority, speaks
gibberish about serious issues facing the United States? When laughing at the memes, though, remember that in the last
century two others were initially mocked when they first came onto the political scene. In their rise to power, both
Adolph Hitler and Benito Mussolini seemed more like comic-strip villains than diabolical dictators. From Hitler's wacky
mustache to Mussolini's smirk and from Hitler's effeminate speaking mannerisms to Mussolini's standing with outstretched arms
on his large hips, imagine all the funny memes and ROFL emojis had the internet been around in the 1930s.
AOC
Is Really Bad At Pretending To Be A Criminal. [Scroll down] On Wednesday [7/20/2022], she joined several
other congressional clowns to participate in a pro-abortion rally in Washington D.C. before being arrested for "Crowding,
Obstructing or Incommoding" by Capitol Police. As she was being led away by the cops, she put her hands behind her back
as if she was handcuffed. But she clearly wasn't because only moments after beginning her walk with the officer, she
raised her right hand to wave to the crowd before quickly putting it back in place again.
AOC
Appears to Fake Having Handcuffs On While Being Removed by Police. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is known
for her overt political grandstanding. That being said, even for the New York Democrat, Tuesday's demonstration was a
bit over-the-top. AOC and other members of the so-called squad of progressive congresswomen were arrested for
participating in an illegal pro-abortion protest at the Supreme Court. While being led away by a Capitol police
officer, she put her hands behind her back as if handcuffed.
AOC
and Ilhan Omar Busted Pretending to Be Handcuffed During Protest Outside SCOTUS. Reportedly "arrested" for
"civil disobedience" — that is, blocking traffic — outside the Supreme Court in protest of the recent
Dobbs decision, more than 30 radical Democrats, including several lawmakers, took their antics a bit too far beyond
the point of believability.
AOC
fakes being handcuffed after arrest at abortion rights protest. Far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was
roundly mocked on social media Tuesday after she put her arms behind her back to imitate being handcuffed following her
arrest at a pro-abortion demonstration outside the Supreme Court. The Bronx and Queens Democratic lawmaker was gently
escorted away by a Capitol Police officer — along with fellow city Rep. Carolyn Maloney — after
blocking traffic outside the court building.
AOC's
amateur-hour publicity stunt. Yesterday, most mainstream media outlets reported that a number of Democrat
representatives — including "Squad" members — were arrested outside the Supreme Court following
protests against the Court's recent decision to overturn Roe v Wade. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
(D-NY), AKA AOC, was among those arrested for blocking traffic. Reps. Barbara Lee of California, Rashida Tlaib of
Michigan, Cori Bush of Missouri, Jan Schakowsky of Illinois, Nydia Velazquez of New York, Madeleine Dean of Pennsylvania, and
Andy Levin of Michigan were among the other legislators arrested. The Capitol Police said they had arrested 35 people,
including 17 members of Congress, for "crowding, obstructing or incommoding." Law enforcement officials said that the
group had, despite warnings, refused to vacate the street, so they took action.
AOC
laments 'insane' cost of being congresswoman despite $174,000 salary. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)
lamented the cost of working as a member of Congress in an Instagram post despite her substantial congressional salary.
Members of Congress are required to occupy one residence in Washington, D.C., as well as one in the state from which they are
representing, according to the New York Democrat. This leads to "class dynamics" within Congress and causes economic
strains for those who struggle to afford two residences, she argued. "It's insanely expensive, there is no stipend or
per diem for it, and you're not allowed to write it off even though your job forces you to have it. This creates real
class dynamics in the House," she wrote in a post on her Instagram story. "Many sleep in their offices, but if you are
caught, it could get bad for many reasons, including violations."
The Editor says...
If your life as a U.S. Representative is so tough, you don't have to run for re-election. In fact, you can resign at any time.
Angry
AOC Admits Capitol Police Held the Doors Wide Open on January 6. Earlier Thursday, The Gateway Pundit reported
that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) had an epic meltdown after she was heckled by comedian Alex Stein on the
Capitol steps. Ocasio-Cortez wrote that she wanted to "deck" Stein. Later she spoke to a reporter and posted a
streaming video about the incident where she accused Capitol Police officers of conspiring with the January 6th
rioters. Ocasio-Cortez argued to Wu, saying police rousted Stein after pressure from her and House (Democrat)
leadership, "FYI we had to escalate to House leadership to get them to stop him and run his info. They did not until
members intervened and pressed them to." [Tweets] Ocasio-Cortez spoke to a liberal reporter about the incident,
accusing Capitol Police of working with the January 6th rioters. In the video, AOC just made a confession saying
that the Capitol Police opened the door wide on January 6.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez Seeks to Strip the Supreme Court of Its Constitutional Role. It is utterly unsurprising that
Ocasio-Cortez and cohorts have concocted this naked power trap to suit their satanic plans. While this doesn't stand a
chance of getting through even the House, let alone the Senate, it stands as a stark warning that modern liberalism is as
drunk on the notion of seizing all power to itself as it is intent on murdering children.
The
Mass Psychosis of Liberals. Liberals have mastered the art of wanting to believe in a false reality,
constructing a Bizarro Universe, while at the same time, excusing themselves for committing the very same transgressions
against society and nature that they accuse others of doing. [... For example,] The Rich Don't Pay Their "Fair Share":
This one is especially risible, because it's so easily disproved with just the barest minimum of effort. The top 1% of
earners collect 21% of all the income earned in the country, yet they pay an astonishing 40% of all the income taxes paid in
America. As the most ridiculous of Squad members adorns herself in a designer dress costing several thousand dollars
brandishing the words "Tax the Rich," she doesn't even realize that the rich already pay far more than their fair share, nor
does she make the connection that her congressional salary puts her squarely in the "rich" category she so fervently
disparages.
AOC
sees fines pile up for 5-year-old unpaid tax warrant. Fines are piling up for Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) over her failure to resolve a New York state tax warrant filed against her defunct business five years
ago. New York state filed a tax warrant against Brook Avenue Press, a children-focused publishing house Ocasio-Cortez
founded in 2012, on July 6, 2017, to collect $1,618 in unpaid corporate taxes. Ocasio-Cortez has yet to pay a penny of
her overdue corporate taxes, causing the current balance of the tax warrant to swell by 52% to $2,461 as of Wednesday afternoon.
Living in a world of meaningless psycho-babble: 'There Is No
Act Too Small': AOC Does Her Nails As Act Of 'Resistance'. Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New
York took to Instagram Friday to tell followers that she will be getting a manicure as a form of "resistance" in the wake of
the recent Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade. Representative Ocasio-Cortez explained that "personal
acts of reclamation" can serve as personal forms of political protest even though people may feel powerless in light of the
recent ruling, according to a tweet that reposted the New York congresswoman's story: [Tweet]
AOC
gets nails done as a 'personal act of reclamation' in 'resistance' to SCOTUS. Democrat Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez's fiery rhetoric over the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v Wade has given way to her
tendency to make everything about herself and her "personal act of reclamation" to protest the historic ruling was to have
her nails done. On Friday, the socialist diva took to Instagram to share a video with her avid fans claiming that even
something as mundane as getting a manicure could be an act of resistance, quite possibly her most loopy statement yet but one
which will serve to inspire her demoralized followers and satisfy her narcissistic craving for constant attention.
AOC
Says it is Responsibility of Executive Branch and Legislative Branch "to put the supreme court in check". In
exactly 22 seconds during a late-night television appearance, Democrat Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez showcased her
lack of understanding how the United States government works. Ms. AOC literally gets the construct of our
government reversed. According to AOC it is "the responsibility of the president and congress to put the Supreme Court
in check." Exactly the opposite is true. It is the literal role and responsibility of the Supreme Court to check
the constitutional validity of the legislative and executive branch. The supreme court exists, almost exclusively, to
keep the president and congress in check. [Video clip]
AOC
Wants to Abolish the Supreme Court 'for the Sake of the Planet'. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)
stated the Supreme Court should undergo "reforms" or be abolished "for the sake of the planet." Moments after President
Joe Biden announced in Europe that he supports a carveout to codify Roe v. Wade, a tactic that Sen. Joe
Manchin (D-WV) has opposed, Ocasio-Cortez stated a "filibuster carveout is not enough." "We need to reform or do away with
the whole thing, for the sake of the planet," she claimed, retweeting a Thursday ruling by the Supreme Court that reduces the
Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) scope of authority to regulate emissions.
AOC objects to the predominance
of men in Congress. Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York issued a tweet on Wednesday in
which she apparently took issue with the proportion of men in the nation's legislature. "Quick reminder that the US
Congress is 73% male and that's the lowest it's ever been, in case you want 1 small contributing glimpse as to why Roe hasn't
been treated w/ the urgency it deserved for ~50 years. (And why our politics are so gross towards women & LGBT+ people
overall)," the progressive congresswoman tweeted.
Late-Night Comedy
Shows Went from Star-Studded Fun to Scripted Political Ads. Watch, if you can, this moment from New York
Congresscritter Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez while on the "Late Show with Stephen Colbert" as she talks about the supreme court's
"overreach." Pay attention to her demeanor, cadence of speech, hand gestures, and body language. [Tweet] Now, watch
this back and forth between two late-night legends, Jay Leno and Johnny Carson. Notice the framing of the two stars,
how they sit, where they frame their shoulders and even their hand gestures. [Video clip] Right off the bat,
you'll likely notice some major differences. Carson and Leno are relaxed and engaged with one another. They're
having fun. Despite being on-air, they're not on the job. [...] AOC is not relaxed. She is on the job.
She's addressing the audience directly, only giving Colbert mere moments before returning her full frame to the
audience. She has her palms together, pointing all of her fingers at the audience. Her cadence gives away the
fact that she's not answering a question improvisationally or engaging in random conversation, she's saying something she's
practiced beforehand.
Ocasio-Cortez
backs Warren, progressive call for Biden to consider abortion clinics on federal land. Democrat
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is backed a call by the her party's progressive wing, of which she is a member, to ask
President Biden to consider opening abortion clinics on federal land, following the Supreme Court ruling days earlier that
ended women's constitutional right to seek an abortion in every U.S. state. "We have many ideas," the New York
congresswoman said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press." "We have some ideas coming from Senator Warren's signed letter along
with 25 other Democratic senators asking President Biden to explore opening health care clinics on federal lands in red
states in order to help people access the health care and abortion. Services that they need." Moments after the
Supreme Court of Friday ruled on a Mississippi abortion law that struck down the court's decades-old decision on Roe
v. Wade that gave women the constitutional right for an abortion, Massachusetts Democrat Sen. Elizabeth Warren
announced her idea about using federal land.

Ocasio-Cortez Chants SCOTUS Dobbs Ruling Is 'Illegitimate'. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) joined
pro-abortion activists outside the Supreme Court Friday to protest the historic overturning of Roe v Wade by
the nation's highest court. Ocasio-Cortez can be seen chanting the word "illegitimate" in reference to the decision
alongside activists, according to video footage shared by TPUSA contributor Drew Hernandez. The New York Democrat was
also seen shouting "into the streets," in an apparent call for Americans to partake in public demonstrations against the ruling.
AOC:
$174,000 Congressional Salary Difficult on 'Working and Middle Class' Lawmakers. The $174,000 congressional
salary is difficult on "working and middle class" lawmakers, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) asserted this week on
Instagram. "Only 10 women in the history of the United States have ever given birth while serving in Congress. 10,"
Ocasio-Cortez wrote in a story posted to her Instagram, referring to the U.S. House of Representatives as a "hostile place to
have a baby," as vote schedules "pretty much" assume that no one has a family, as they change often and require frequent travel.
You can have "your truth" and select whatever pronouns you like, but you must use my adjectives! AOC rips
Dem lawmakers who refuse to use term 'Latinx'. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez slammed fellow Democrats who won't use the
umbrella term "Latinx" to refer to Hispanic people and Latin Americans. The New York Democrat said those in and out of her party who
question the validity of the term are making other peoples' self-identification about themselves.
AOC
Recalls 'Awakening' to Her Indigenous Roots, an Absurd Claim from the Puerto Rican 'Squad' Member who Is Not Native
American. On Saturday, infamous "Squad" member and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said her connection
to her "indigenous heritage" was awakened while protesting the Dakota Access pipeline at Standing Rock Indian
Reservation. Ocasio-Cortez made the comments in a reply on Instagram on Saturday. The Congresswoman said she wanted
to connect more with the ancestral roots of the Taíno Indians and that American Indian tribes welcomed her as family.
The Editor says...
I doubt if anyone welcomed her "as family." They more likely welcomed her as a politician bearing government handouts.
Is
the American Postmodern Left a Fascist Movement? For my work in corporate social responsibility, I was recently
reading The Great Transformation, Karl Polanyi's critique of capitalism, when something he wrote gave me one of those
really uncomfortable "Aha" moments. Polanyi was discussing the alternatives to capitalism — left socialism
and right socialism (which we call "Fascism"). His point was that these two socialisms were created to undo the
disruptions of capitalism which had privileged "money power" to degrade human sociality into atomic individualism driven by
self-seeking greed. When I read his observation that the Fascist phase of anti-capitalism brought about "Irrational
philosophies, racialist aesthetics, anti-capitalist demagogy, heterodox currency views, criticism of the party system,
widespread disparagement of the 'regime'," I thought "How odd, that sounds just like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the
postmodern Left."

Defense Expert AOC Says US Should Be More 'Climate Defense Based'. Welp, now that the left's "Defund the

AOC
says January 6 riot was a 'trial run' and claims 'they're going to come back' if Republicans retake the House.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has said that the US Capitol riot last January was a 'trial run' and that Congress could
come under attack again if Republicans regain a majority. 'If we lose the House, this is no joke — January 6
was a trial run and a lot of people don't seem to understand that,' the New York Democrat said at a town hall in Queens on
Wednesday [4/20/2022]. 'It was a trial run, and they're going to come back if they win the House,' she continued.
'The only reason it wasn't worse is because Democrats had the House, and they didn't have the votes.'
The Editor says...
Whenever a Republican makes such an outlandish claim, the phrase without evidence is included somewhere in the
news reports. But if a Socialist Democrat makes an unsubstantiated claim, no questions arise.
AOC,
other progressives urged MTA not to hire new cops in 2019 letter. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and
several fellow progressives vehemently opposed an MTA plan to hire 500 new cops to patrol the subways. The 2019 letter
from the lefty group has come under new scrutiny after a shooting rampage in a Brooklyn subway left at least 30 injured and
caused mass panic. "In our view desperately needed resources would be better invested in subway, bus, maintenance and
service improvements," the letter read. "We are urging the MTA to divest from this current model of criminalization."
The letter warned of the "historic racial disparities in enforcement" and claimed that "communities of color" would be
unfairly targeted by the new officers.
Amazon
Union Organizers Say AOC Abandoned Them as She Celebrates Their Victory. Workers at an Amazon warehouse in
Staten Island voted to unionize last week, and some of them say Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) abandoned
them. The facility has made headlines since 2020, when workers first began to complain of conditions. Christian
Smalls, who attempted to start a union, was fired. In February, he was arrested after he was asked to leave the
facility. Last Friday, the Amazon Labor Union he helped found reported workers voted 1518 to 1154 to unionize.
Ocasio-Cortez, whom union organizers have said had their support before abandoning them, celebrated on Twitter.
AOC
stands exposed, once again. Most people remember last year's Met Gala, which the New York Times called "the
party of the year" not only for the ostentatious display but for the blatant hypocrisy displayed by myriad Democrat
attendees. A perfect example of this band of hypocrites is the leader of 'The Squad', Congresswoman Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez. During the day she pontificates about the dire need to uplift the poor, the downtrodden, minorities, and
her favorite illegal immigrants. AOC relentlessly whines about income inequality and the need for draconian tax
measures against the affluent. The issues she stands for always have three-word slogans such as 'Tax the Rich, 'Defund
the Police' etc. AOC even pulled a Smollett when she exaggerated her "traumatic experience" from the Capitol protests,
claiming Trump supporters were hunting for her and that she feared rape. Later, facts emerged that she was not at the
site, but at a nearby office building. She also has an inflated opinion of herself.
We
Also Are at War as LGBTQ and Other Extremist Cultural Enemies Seek to Destroy Our Way of Life. Our culture and
history are not assured. Colleges successfully destroy so many. With almost all liberal-arts department
chairmanships and social-sciences tenured professorships locked two decades and more for the Campus Left, a generation has
been decimated. [...] AOC is not merely an idiot but a metaphor for her generation, reflecting a four-year "education"
costing $160,000 to $200,000 — graduating cum laude in economics — yet not understanding
civics, how math works, nor core aspects of American history. Nor economics. [...] As for AOC-as-Metaphor, she boldly asserts:
[#1] The 22nd Amendment passed Congress in 1947 and was ratified in 1951 to stop FDR, who died in 1945,
from seeking a fifth term in 1952.
[#2] American ICE agents providing shelter, food, and medicines to undocumented aliens at our Southern border
are akin to WWII Nazis, and the shelters are equivalent to Dachau and Auschwitz.
[#3] Our planet will end in nine years. Democracy in America will end in ten years.
[#4] The surge in crime — including Chicago Saturday night drive-bys, Los Angeles homeless randomly
stabbing store clerks to death in fashion boutiques, and New Yorkers pushed off subway station platforms — all directly
are the result of a child-care tax benefit ending, requiring parents to pay for baby formula. [...]
FEC
two-year probe finds AOC and her former chief of staff didn't 'properly' disclose at least $1M in campaign
expenses. The Federal Election Commission's investigation into Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's campaign
found that it and her former chief of staff did not 'properly' disclose about $1 million in expenses — but a
bipartisan panel voted to give them a pass, according to filings. The National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC), a
conservative watchdog group, had alleged in 2019 that Ocasio-Cortez's former chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti, funneled
more than $1 million in contributions to Democrats through two PACs he controlled during her run for Congress in 2018.
While the FEC found that Chakrabarti did, in fact, fail to 'properly disclose the purpose of the disbursements' made to the
Brand New Congress and Justice Democrats PACs, a panel of three Democrats and three Republicans decided to dismiss the NLPC's
complaint, according to filings made public this week.
Former
Clarence Thomas Clerk: Judges Are Never Asked To Recuse Themselves Over Political Views. It's so
predictable. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has now threatened Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to resign or
else face impeachment. Leftists in Congress and the media hyperventilate over every tidbit showing that Justice
Thomas's wife, Ginni, is involved in national conservative politics — most recently, that she pushed for integrity
in the 2020 election. This isn't news, and it has nothing to do with Justice Thomas's ability to be a fair and
impartial jurist. Yet the Left breathlessly deploys false and double standards because they are desperate to attack the
justice who has been faithful to the United States Constitution they are constantly trying to hijack for their own political
agenda. In a country based on self-government, citizens must be informed about what their government is doing.
Because the media won't report this nonstory accurately, here are the facts. [...]
No,
AOC, Humans Are Not Killing the Earth. By 2050, there will be nearly ten billion human beings on the planet.
[...] From an environmental perspective, 10 billion humans seems an unacceptable number. For radicals like AOC, here
are two solutions. One is to drastically reduce the carbon footprint of every human being on the planet. This
could be accomplished by mandating electric vehicles or no car at all, and by using taxation and zoning to force humans into
smaller, more efficient apartments. But housing and transportation would not be enough. It would be necessary to
slash electricity and other utility usages, since power plants are the largest source of man-made greenhouse gas emissions,
and to outlaw animal products such as meat, eggs, and dairy. It would also be necessary to limit travel and restrict
land use so as to return land to its state of nature. All of these "solutions" have been proposed, and in some places
implemented, but alone, they will not reduce carbon emissions to any perceptible extent, since humans will go on requiring
food, shelter, heat, electricity, and other services that produce emissions. If you believe that carbon poses an
existential threat to life on Earth, you must consider option #2. That option is to reduce the number of human beings
on Earth, be it by forced sterilization, birth control, abortion, or voluntary or mandatory euthanasia.
Government
watchdog group sues over AOC fundraising complaint dismissal. A government watchdog group is suing the Federal
Election Commission after the agency dismissed its 2019 complaint alleging that Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio
Cortez's campaign failed to disclose hundreds of thousand in fundraising expenses and violated campaign contribution
limits. The National Legal and Policy Center filed its lawsuit Friday against the federal agency in Washington DC
federal court, blasting a six-member investigations panel — made up of three Democrats and three
Republicans — for not providing a reason for its dismissal of the complaint. The 36-page March 4, 2019
complaint filed against Ocasio Cortez, campaign treasurer Frank Llewellyn and former chief of staff Chaikat Sakrabarti, among

child tax credit is a ruse. The firebrand congressional Squad leader known on the streets as AOC recently said,
"Gee, the child-tax credit just ran out on December 31, and now people are stealing baby formula." She said this in
response to the NYPD announcing the arrest of twelve known shoplifters with a combined 23 outstanding warrants for stealing
formula, diapers, and other items they easily resold on the streets. It's a false flag — the expired child
tax credit has nothing to do with shoplifting in New York City. There was no cash advance child tax credit in 2020, and
shoplifting offenses declined 9% from the prior year. However, in 2021, when parents were paid by the Biden
administration for their progeny, shoplifting in New York increased by 6%. If AOC were intellectually honest and used
her student loan-funded elite eastern college degree in economics, she would see there is no correlation or causation between
the CTC and shoplifting.

Whispers to Her Followers That Most People Don't Know What Capitalism Is. Democratic Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez of New York suggested in a recent social media post that most people "don't really know what capitalism is."
In a Thursday Instagram story, the progressive congresswoman whispered a "secret" to her followers. "Let me tell you
a secret," Ocasio-Cortez said in a whisper. "Most people don't really know what capitalism is. Most people don't
even know what socialism is. But most people are not capitalists, because they don't have capitalist money.
They're not billionaires." "The label doesn't matter as much as talking about policies," she continued, still
whispering. "That's easier to understand. Do you think people should die because they can't afford insulin?
Do you think that fossil fuel CEOs should decide whether the planet gets set on fire? Me neither."

Goes off the Deep End of Crazy Conspiracies, Links Fossil Fuel Extraction Sites to Kidnapping Indigenous Women.
Every time this woman speaks she seems to make her last dimwitted idea seem less dumb compared to the new one she says.
Now she's trying to go after the fossil fuel companies by insinuating they're part of the kidnapping problem among indigenous
women and women of color. There are moments when you have to wonder if the people who are creating the laws in this
country are all as dumb as this bartender turned politician via a casting call. [Video clip]
AOC
plays victim card with student loans while living large. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) has often
spotlighted her own student loans since entering Congress, personalizing a hot-button issue to decry a system that saddles
millions of people with debt coming out of school. However, unlike most Americans struggling to pay off student loans,
Ocasio-Cortez, 32, has spent her money lavishly and appears to be in a position to pay off her full debt at any time,
according to a review of her student loan history. As of 2020, Ocasio-Cortez owed between $15,001 and $50,000 in
federal student loans, according to her most recent personal financial disclosure report, which was filed in August 2021.
That debt was incurred from August 2007 to May 2011. Student loans are often paid off under a 10-year plan. In
December, however, Ocasio-Cortez said she had "over $17,000" in student loan debt.
AOC
calls Biden's SOTU speech a 'lost opportunity' for failing to promote renewable energy. U.S. Rep Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez said President Joe Biden's State of the Union address 'left a little to be desired' for Democrats because he
did not push issues like renewable energy, student loan debt, education or immigration. The New York Democrat said
Biden's speech on Tuesday, where he focused on COVID recovery and the conflict in the Ukraine, failed to capitalize on moving
away from Russian oil by committing to green energy. 'I think it was a lost opportunity,' Ocasio-Cortez, 32, told MSNBC.
'There is profound bipartisan support to a long-term shift away from fossil fuels.' She added that Biden had glossed
over issues of 'crisis in education,' student loan debt and immigration, key issues that she said deserved the Democratic
party's focus.
Left-wing
Ignorance On Display: AOC's Juvenile Visions of Capitalism and Socialism. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (AOC),
US Representative (14th district of New York) holds that capitalism, the economic system in our United States that people
from all over the world risk life and limb to enter any way they can, is "irredeemable." [...] For AOC, capitalism is
"essentially" about greed and dictatorship over the workers. By contrast, socialism is not concerned with anything so
mundane is attempting to make working conditions cleaner, safer or better paying. Socialists are concerned about
something much grander, namely, a "transformation," almost like the miraculous transformation from caterpillar to butterfly,
from the mundane real world in which we live into a completely new and better world in which wealth and creativity spring up
like mushrooms from the fertile socialist soil.
AOC
suggestion to rename Queens post office angers LGBTQ leaders. A proposal by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
to consider renaming a Queens post office that honors LGBTQ rights pioneers is sparking outrage among local activists.
Ocasio-Cortez (D-Queens, Bronx) is soliciting suggestions for the Jeanne and Jules Manford Post Office Building in Jackson
Heights, a representative for the congresswoman's office told Community Board 3 in Queens last week. Jeanne Manford is
considered to have been the first parent to march with their child in an LGBTQ parade a half century ago. She went on
to found PFLAG, the country's first LGBTQ group designed to build solidarity between parents and LGBTQ children, with support
from her husband, Jules. A name change would "erase our history," fumed former City Councilman Daniel Dromm (D-Queens),
who worked with AOC's predecessor Joseph Crowley to name the post office for the Manfords five years ago.
The Editor says...
There's only one acceptable solution in this case: Build another post office across the street from the Manford Post Office
Building. And paint it pink. And light it up with rainbow colors at night. And fly some obscure variation of a
rainbow flag next to the U.S. flag — or instead of it. Then make sure that all the window clerks are
outlandishly non-standard, non-binary transvestites.
AOC
slams NYPD for arresting 12 shoplifters. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez lashed out at the NYPD and her colleagues in
Congress over the arrests of 12 shoplifters for stealing diapers and baby formula in the Bronx, saying the removal of the
child tax credit by the federal government was to blame for the crime. The shoplifters stole $1,800 worth of diapers,
baby wipes, laundry detergent and other household goods which are easy to resell on the streets. In a response from a
tweet from NYPD announcing the arrets, Ocasio-Cortez fired back at cops: 'It's much easier to frame people who steal baby
formula and medicine as monsters to be jailed than acknowledge our politics and economic priorities create conditions where
people steal baby formula to survive.'
The
12 shoplifters AOC defended after they stole diapers and formula are repeat offenders. The accused New York
City shoplifters that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez defended as struggling families forced into a life of crime due to
lack of federal support are actually repeat offenders who have lengthy rap sheets. After a string of shoplifting thefts
of retail stories in the Bronx, NYPD officers in the 44th Precinct arrested a dozen people on February 8, 9, 11 and 12.
Police touted the arrest on Twitter with photos of the arresting officers and the $1,800 worth of household goods, including
diapers, recovered. In response, Ocasio-Cortez, who represents the upper middle class Long Island City neighborhood in
Queens and portions of the Bronx, cast doubt on the legitimacy of the arrests, suggesting that police had gone after
impoverished people who were stealing to supply their own babies with diapers and formula.
The Editor says...
If all the defendants did was steal diapers and baby formula, they might get light sentences at their criminal trials.
That's what juries are for. But at that point, the prosecutor can tell the jury about the tattoos, cigarettes, cell phones,
and other items the defendants have recently purchased. And please tell the jury about that poor baby of yours who needs
$1,800 worth of diapers.

says capitalism does not benefit the vast majority of Americans and is a system run by a wealthy minority. U.S.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said capitalism is 'not a redeemable system' for Americans and represents a 'pursuit of
profit' with disregard for any human, environment and social consequences run by an elite minority. The New York
democratic socialist slammed the US economy during an interview with Yahoo Finance's Andy Serwer on Thursday, explaining that
it was controlled by a small group of capitalists who make money and 'don't have to work.' 'They can control our
labor. They can control massive markets that they dictate and can capture governments,' Ocasio-Cortez, 32, said.
These
Woke Pols Want Student Loans Forgiven — Including Their Own. Many of the woke politicians who have
pushed for student-loan cancellation are themselves hip-deep in school debt, federal records reviewed by The [New York] Post
show. Most members of "The Squad" — the coterie of socialist legislators led by Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) — fall into this category. Collectively, they owe between $180,004 and $400,000 in
student loans, the records show. Rep. Ocasio-Cortez had a balance of between $15,001 and $50,000 in federal
student loans as of 2020, according to her most recent personal financial disclosure. Despite her $174,000 annual
salary, the economics major hasn't paid off her balance, despite a zero percent interest rate and no payments due since March 2020.

according to Dick Morris, a former Clinton adviser, it's going to get worse: Morris thinks 2024 is going to feature a

likes Old Joe, who will be about 120 years old if he even makes it to 2024, and Kamala Harris has failed spectacularly at one

Caught In Miami Beach As New York City Hits Record Coronavirus Cases, Report Says. Democrat
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY) was reportedly caught in Miami Beach on Thursday evening as New York City was
decimated by a record number of coronavirus cases. National Review reported that, according to photographs obtained by
the publication, Ocasio-Cortez was "seated outside Doraku Sushi and Izakaya in Miami Beach Thursday afternoon, raising a
cocktail in one hand and checking her phone in another." [...] Ocasio-Cortez's decision to hangout in the red state of
Florida amid the historic number of coronavirus cases in the city that she represents comes after she repeatedly attacked
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for briefly going to Cancun, Mexico, earlier this year as the state of Texas dealt with a storm
crisis.

Freaks Out Over Criticism of Her Vacationing in Florida. Democrats will rarely tell you the truth, but they
will usually show you who they are with their actions. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a perfect example of that as she
currently vacations in the free state of Florida during her home state of New York's biggest COVID wave of the pandemic.
Again, the elites are nowhere near as scared of COVID as they demand you be. As RedState reported this morning, pictures
surfaced of the Democrat congresswoman kicking back in Miami with her boyfriend. But while that wouldn't necessarily be
noteworthy on its own, AOC's past statements have made it so because, as it turns out, she's a raging hypocrite.

Omicron Rages in NYC, AOC Caught Dining Maskless in DeSantis's Florida. New York Democratic
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez fell into a delicious trap set by herself and other Democrats who are criticizing Florida
Governor Ron DeSantis of being "MIA" amid the surge in Covid cases in the Sunshine State. Unfortunately for the
Democrats, even with the spike in positive tests, fewer people are actually dying, which kind of puts a crimp in their
"DeSantis wants to kill people" narrative.

shared a drink and a laugh with an unknown dining guest at Doraku Sushi and Izakaya, according to photos shared by the
National Review. Ocasio-Cortez was dragged on Twitter by conservatives joking about her strict stance on COVID
protocols, including a Twitter account devoted to and endorsed by Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, which invited her to
'enjoy a taste of freedom' in the Sunshine State.

She is directly confronting her party's leader on the House, someone whose own daughter has warned of her ability to exact
revenge ("she'll cut your head off"). Speaker Pelosi, for her part, has seen her husband accumulate a large fortune
while she engaged in what is laughably called "public service."

Says Dems Can't Win in 2022 if They Don't Prioritize Student Debt, Other Progressive Items. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said that Democrats must focus on progressive priorities such as ending the filibuster and canceling
student debt and that members of her party are "delusional" if they think they can win in 2022 without addressing these
issues. The congresswoman claimed Friday in a Twitter thread that Democrats would have a poor showing in next year's
midterm elections if they do not push progressive agenda items including student debt cancelations, ending the filibuster,
passing the Build Back Better Act, allowing the child tax credit to expire and offering a path to citizenship.
AOC
blasted for doubting 'smash-and-grab' heists; retail org. says she 'has no idea what she's talking about'.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is being criticized after she appeared to suggest that so-called "smash-and-grab"
robberies, which have been on the increase across the country but especially in California, were not really occurring.
"A lot of these allegations of organized retail theft are not actually panning out," the self-described Democratic socialist
from New York said in an interview with The Washington Times last week. "I believe it's a Walgreens in California who
cited it, but the data didn't back it up," she went on to claim. Videos of the robberies have frequently gone viral on
social media.
Fifty years ago, before surveillance cameras (and the internet) were everywhere, she might have gotten away with this gaslighting: GOP,
businesses slam AOC for doubting existence of smash-and-grab robberies: 'Tone-deaf and offensive'. New York Rep.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was slammed by Republicans and business leaders following an interview where she cast doubt on whether
rampant smash-and-grabs are actually occurring. "A lot of these allegations of organized retail theft are not actually
panning out," Ocasio-Cortez said in an interview with The Washington Times last week. "I believe it's a Walgreens in
California cited it, but the data didn't back it up," she added. The comments sparked pushback from retail leaders and
Republican lawmakers, including from Walgreens.

Claims Those Organized Smash and Grabs on Stores You're Seeing Aren't Real. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

was a truly mind-bending departure from reality. AOC told the Washington Times that "a lot of these allegations of
organized retail theft are not actually panning out." "I believe it's a Walgreens in California cited it, but the data
didn't back it up," she said. Now, she says this in the face of numerous videos and reports of smash and grabs in
Democratic cities across the country, in particular a spurt of such criminal actions in California. So, it's fantasy to
deny them.

Why Progressives
Ruin Democrats. Earlier this year, Democratic Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez went, unmasked, to
the swanky Met Gala, wearing a dress emblazoned with the words, "Tax the Rich," and surrounded by masked help, including a
man subserviently holding the dress train. Progressive "fact checkers" pointed out that somebody else paid for
Ocasio-Cortez's $35,000 ticket, as though that made her behavior less elitist.
Must
see TV: When pressed to explain what she means by 'the occupation of Palestine' AOC admits that she doesn't
know. Despite graduating from Boston University cum laude, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is
eternally sophomoric, always confident in the wisdom of her views notwithstanding serious limitations to her knowledge
base. The word "sophomoric" derives from the tendency of college students with just a bit of education — an
introduction to higher learning, but no advanced courses yet — to presume they know everything. They learn
the theories before they learn their limitations. The woman formerly known as Sandy Cortez, when she worked as a
barmaid before entering Congress, apparently rarely gets challenged to back up her assertions. [...] I am rather certain that
when she was pouring drinks, her male customers rarely if ever challenged her to back up what she might have said about the world
beyond the watering hole. That's why it is so entertaining to watch her grapple with being asked to back up one of
her sweeping statements, in this case a cliché about purported Palestinian oppression, by Margaret Hoover on a PBS set.
Did
AOC just accuse her fellow lawmakers of endangering her safety? [Scroll down] Perhaps she thinks this is
the best way to excuse her own vote, which she changed at the very last minute to "present" to avoid having to take a
legislative stand on the issue one way or the other. Or maybe Ocasio-Cortez is trying to pin the blame on her fellow
lawmakers, almost all of whom opposed the "Squad's" attempt at derailing the funding package. Given Ocasio-Cortez's
affinity for performative self-victimization, she's probably trying to do both. She doesn't want to own up to the fact
that she caved to political pressure. She wants everyone to believe the rest of Congress, including members of her own
party, are out to get her. It's always everyone else's fault, never hers. She needs to grow up. Not one
person's safety was put at risk during that vote. What did happen is that she and some of her other buddies who opposed
the Iron Dome funding were rightly called out for peddling antisemitic rhetoric. And if she can't handle some
well-placed criticism, she ought to consider whether she's in the right profession.
AOC
calls for release of all Rikers inmates amid 'inhumane' jail conditions. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and
three other House Democrats from New York called on Mayor de Blasio and Gov. Hochul Tuesday to release all inmates held
on Rikers Island, citing a long-running pattern of "human right violations" at the jail. Ocasio-Cortez made the
extraordinary demand in a letter to de Blasio and Hochul issued jointly with Reps. Jamaal Bowman, Nydia Velazquez and
Jerrold Nadler, who chairs the powerful House Judiciary Committee. In addition to freeing the roughly 6,000 inmates on
the island, the four lawmakers wrote that the jail itself should be "immediately" shuttered and federal funding for its
operations seized.

Leans Into Champagne Socialism. "Tax the rich" reads a dress worn by a socialist congresswoman at an exclusive
New York City gala that typically costs $35,000 to get into. The now infamous dress worn by Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., who appears not to understand the irony or really even the definition of irony, was made by a company
deep in tax debt in three states (in part for not paying out workers' compensation insurance to employees). Being
aligned with socialists in 2021 apparently means looking like the decadent elite in "The Hunger Games," dodging taxes, and
stiffing workers. In response to criticism, Ocasio-Cortez said that politicians have to attend the event "due to our
responsibilities in overseeing our city's cultural institutions that serve the public." She added that the criticisms
are just the latest example of how her body is "policed from all corners politically." We're to believe that
Ocasio-Cortez's appearance at the Met Gala was just being done for you, the people. And by the way, anyone who
criticizes this decision is a sexist.

heart. The 37-year-old fashionista who made waves at the Met Gala with Democratic-Socialist AOC last week is a
notorious tax deadbeat with unpaid debts dogging her in multiple states, records show. Most of luxe-living James'
arrears center on Cultural Brokerage Agency, an LLC she formed in 2011 to serve as the parent company of her fashion brand,
which today is known as Brother Vellies. [...] The company racked up three open tax warrants in New York state for failing to
withhold income taxes from employees' paychecks totaling $14,798, the state Department of Taxation and Finance told The [New

Gala has been accused of avoiding paying taxes her business owes, and has debts in multiple states. Aurora James said
the dress sent a 'powerful message' but her own delinquent tax bills appear to show she didn't take it to heart. The
successful designer's debts are mostly owed by an LLC she formed in 2011 — Cultural Brokerage Agency — to serve as the parent
company of her fashion brand, Brother Vellies. According to the New York Post, as Beyonce, Rihanna and Meghan Markle
became fan favorites of James's luxury brand, the company racked up three open tax warrants in New York state for for failing
to withhold income taxes from employees' paychecks totaling $14,798.
Sadly,
There is No Cure For Stupid. To AOC, who thought it would be a good idea by making herself the center of
attention wearing a deprecating gown to the Met Gala, Looking like a Chic-Fil-A take-out bag. Her white dress with the
red lettering telling all to "Tax the Rich" was a popular target of the Paparazzi. AOC was eating up the attention
until she learned that she enjoyed the night right into an ethics violation. AOC and her date were comped the $35.000
tickets, which is what triggered the outrage. Now she gets to defend this #70,000 gift, and maybe at the same time, she
can explain why none of the Rich and Famous needed a mask while the servers' faces were masked. To AOC, You are
Welcome. Your violation highlights just how tone-deaf you are, and you will still get re-elected.
Masks
for waiters and servants — but not for AOC and the rest. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
(D-Moscow) may be so dumb she hadn't heard of John Maynard Keynes's famous (-ly wrong) prophecy about a 15-hour work week
until years after graduating college with an economics degree (and also thought his name was "Milton Keynes"), but she is in
a class of her own when she's doing her job, which is getting people to look at her. In a room full of dimwit divas at
Fifth Avenue's annual irony-free version of the Zoolander walk-off, Ocasio-Cortez easily bested them all. During the
Met Costume Gala, the sole object is to get looked at by the most people, and AOC's Tax the Rich dress was probably looked at
by more people than all the others combined. [...] Lost in all the marveling at AOC's cheek and/or cheeks was that the peons
at the event (which required vaccinations) were wearing masks, but the celebrities got to schmooze and kiss and hug and clink
glasses without ever smearing their makeup on face masks. Does the Delta variant care if you were once on the cover of
Vogue or had a hit song?
AOC is a hot glue-gun
mess. [Scroll down] How noble of AOC to volunteer to be a social-media punching bag for what she
considers a good cause. Never mind that most of her constituents, who comprise some of the poorest parts of the city,
have probably never even been to the Met, let alone heard of its annual gala. In an interview from the red carpet that
evening, AOC declared that the dress, you see, draws attention to 'what it means to be working-class women of color at the
Met.' Like most huddled and downtrodden working class women of color, AOC has 12.7 million Twitter followers and was
speaking to a reporter from Vogue. 'We can't just play along, we need to challenge some of the institutions,' she
continued. It wasn't the text that made the outfit so cringe-inducing. It was the dress itself: dingy chiffon
hot-glued to the bottom of some two-tone crinoline satin slip. The edges weren't pressed down and they puckered.
It fit like an old sock, but AOC didn't see any of that.

about a socialist politician gleefully participating in the most vulgar tribute to capitalism and social inequality to emerge
since the walled-off galas thrown by the French aristocracy at the Palace of Versailles. [...] Fortunately, many of AOC's most
devoted socialist supporters stepped forth with passionate defenses of their leader. As they pointed out, AOC had painted
onto the back of her pristine white gown — in perfectly proportioned and tastefully scrolled red ink highlighting
the stunning virtues of the designer dress' silhouette — a leftist phrase, Tax the Rich, that not only
assaulted the Biden-supporting liberal celebrities in attendance but made them feel endangered in their own habitat, as if
their wealth and privilege were being imperiled not from afar but from one of their own, from within.

Woman
of the people: The cost of AOC's Met Gala shoes could have fed an American family for a month. New York
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made her fashion debut this week in a dazzling appearance at the annual Met Gala, wowing
attendees of the $30,000-per-ticket event with a stunning gown that called for the government to "tax the rich." [Tweet]
Though the self-declared socialist has taken a lot of heat for wearing the bespoke Brother Vellies dress to the event, little
attention has been paid to her shoe ensemble, which, according to Vogue, consisted of "a pair of red shoes from Brother
Vellies, with long laces and bright flowers along the heel." [Photo] Those really pop! Judging from Brother
Vellies's website, the company's line of ribbon-adorned high-heeled shoes hover around $615. Assuming that the
representative's footwear for the evening did not rise above that baseline, that mean's Ocasio-Cortez's shoes for the Met
event cost significantly more than the low end of an American husband and wife's average monthly food budget, according to
the USDA.

Met Gala, where she wore a custom gown that said "Tax the Rich." The self-declared socialist congresswoman drew broad
social media scorn for partying at the elite, $35,000-per-ticket event while presenting herself as their rabble-rousing
foe. Thomas Jones, founder of the American Accountability Foundation, wrote in an ethics complaint that he believes
Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who represents parts of the Bronx and Queens, broke House rules by accepting "an impermissible gift" of
free tickets to attend the annual gala, which also was attended by fellow New York Democratic Rep. Carolyn
Maloney. Although House rules allow members to accept free tickets to charity events directly from event organizers, Jones
argues that the Met Gala doesn't count because the guest list is curated by a private company, media giant Condé Nast.
'Tax
The Rich' AOC Wore $450 Earrings, $600 Shoes To Met Gala: Report. Rep. Alexandria-Cortez may have
worn a dress emblazoned "Tax the Rich" to Monday's Met Gala, but she was also wearing earrings reputedly valued at $450 and
shoes reportedly valued at roughly $614. The "Tax the Rich" dress designed by Aurora James was worth hundreds of
thousands of dollars, the Daily Mail noted, adding that the 14-karat designer Mejuri jewelry gold hoop earrings were listed
as worth $450 and the open-toed red shoes from James' Brother Vellies fashion line were valued at roughly $614.
Ocasio-Cortez also carried a James purse that also featured the "Tax the Rich" mantra.
AOC
Hit with Ethics Complaint for Free Tickets to NYC's Ultra-Elite Met Gala. Far-left Congresswoman Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez was slapped with an ethics complaint this week for allegedly violating Congressional guidelines by accepting
free tickets to New York City's ultra-exclusive Met Gala soiree. "A conservative group is asking the Office of
Congressional Ethics to launch an investigation of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for accepting free tickets to Monday's
Met Gala, where she wore a custom gown that said 'Tax the Rich," reports the NY Post.
AOC's
Glorious 'Animal Farm' Moment At The Met Gala. Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez showed
her true colors, and her complete lack of self-awareness, at Monday night's Met Gala. Ocasio-Cortez thought it was a
brave and stunning idea to wear a dress emblazoned with the slogan "Tax the Rich" at an event where a single ticket costs
$30,000 and a table will run you around $275,000. The designer of the dress, Aurora James, is romantically involved with
Benjamin Bronfman, a member of the Lehman family and whose net worth is estimated at over $100 million. As an added
bonus, all but a small portion of Ocasio-Cortez's Gala ticket is tax deductible. While partying away the conspicuously
maskless hours hobnobbing with the ultra-rich, Ocasio-Cortez took a moment to reflect on why she had chosen to make such a
stunning and brave statement at a party attended almost exclusively by supporters of the Democratic Party.
AOC
Just Bought Herself More Trouble With Her Attendance at Met Gala and 'Tax the Rich' Dress. We reported earlier
on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) wearing a designer dress that said "Tax the Rich" at the Met Gala, where a
ticket to attend costs at least $30,000. She was called out for her hypocrisy by people like Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)
and Donald Trump, Jr. because she and the other guests flouted the masks required for the indoor event, while the "help" all
had to be masked, and because she was partying with the rich who she was attacking. [Tweets] If there is any clearer
picture of hypocrisy, I don't know what it would be as we watch the socialist, trying to make a point attacking the rich,
while partying with them, going to an elite event and being waited on.
AOC is absolutely
full of [it]. The truth is that Cortez is just another phony using her "tax the rich" theme as an excuse for
her to cruise shoulder to shoulder among the bourgeoise. Her single most notable achievement was to ward off 25,000
Amazon jobs from her district. Now she's a celebrity and she is enjoying every second of Hollywood type attention while
thinking she's fooling us all.
The
full Versailles: Met Gala ruling class pour on the hypocrisy — led by Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez. In the decrepit, doddering Joe Biden era, the odor of decay, decadence, and borrowed glory from
the entitled ruling class is the order of the day based on what was seen at last night's Met Gala, "the party of the year"
according to the New York Times. Nobody embodied that better than Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who wore a
custom-designed white evening gown graffitied with 'Tax the Rich' in red spray paint on the back of it, just perfect for an
event brimming with the superrich. She knows they like that 'beat me, beat me' vibe and blathered to a credulous press
about being there to show 'what it means to be working-class women of color at the Met.' Maybe she could have consulted
the dark-skinned women at the sidelines, forced to wear masks as she was not about that one.
AOC
is slammed as a hypocrite for donning a custom Aurora James dress to the Met Gala where tickets cost $30,000
each. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez has been slammed for attending the ultra exclusive, elitist Met Gala on Monday
night [9/13/2021] in a dress with the words 'tax the rich' plastered on them [sic], in what she claims was a political
statement but what others say is yet another example of her tone-deaf hypocrisy. The 31-year-old socialist firebrand
attended the event with her boyfriend Riley Roberts after getting ready at The Carlyle Hotel on the Upper East Side.
She claims she went for free to the event, where tables can cost upwards of $200,000, and that it was her responsibility to
do so as an elected official.
The Editor says...
Nothing is free, especially in New York. Somebody paid for AOC's admission to the event. Who was it?
Here's the answer: Museum
comped AOC, her boyfriend, NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio, his wife and son tickets together worth up to $175K for their Met Gala
appearance. The Office of Congressional Ethics was asked by a conservative group to launch an investigation of
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for accepting free tickets to Monday's Met Gala, where she wore a custom gown that said
'Tax the Rich.' Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez attended the the ultra-elitist, $35,000-a-head Met Gala as guests of
the Metropolitan Museum of Art, DailyMail.com can confirm. In an ethics complaint, Thomas Jones, founder of the
American Accountability Foundation, said he believes Ocasio-Cortez, who represents parts of the Bronx and Queens, broke House
rules by accepting 'an impermissible gift' of free tickets to attend the annual gala.
Did
AOC Break the Law with Her Met Gala Stunt? As Matt covered earlier, socialist Congresswoman Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez made an appearance at the Met Gala in New York City Monday night [9/13/2021]. She wore a white dress with
large red letters on the back reading, "Tax The Rich." [Tweet] A ticket to the Met Gala costs $30,000. A table
nabs $275,000. So, how did she get in? Here's her explanation. [Tweet] But there are questions about the
legality of her attendance, especially when it comes to election laws, donations and what she may owe to the IRS if her
ticket was a gift. [Tweet]
AOC
calls fellow Dem Joe Manchin 'patronizing' for referring to her as 'young lady'. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez has called Senator Joe Manchin 'patronizing' for referring to her as a 'young lady' as the two Democrats spar
over his objections to the party's massive spending bill. Manchin appeared on CNN's State of the Union on Sunday to
explain his concerns with President Joe Biden's $3.5 trillion plan for social and environmental spending, denying
Ocasio-Cortez's allegation that he has 'weekly huddles' with Exxon executives. 'I don't know that young lady that well,
I really don't. I met her one time between sets here, but that's it. We've not had any conversations. She's
speculating and saying things,' Manchin said.
AOC's
dumbest tweet ever gives conservatives a field day holding her to her rhetoric. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's
problem is not that she is so stupid, but that she thinks of herself as far smarter and more knowledgeable than is the actual
case. The ancient Greeks understood well that hubris, false pride, is one key to humans' tendency to screw themselves
up — often with tragic consequences. So far, the young congresswoman from Westchester County who represents
parts of the Bronx and Queens, has avoided tragedy, but then again, she has not yet had much direct access to the levers of
power. [...] On Wednesday [9/1/2021], she made an utter fool of herself by tweeting out a nice-sounding bit of rhetoric that
she failed to understand knocks out any legitimacy for affirmative action and any of the other racial double standards that
the left insists on.
AOC Says Trump's 'Racist' Policies
Are to Blame for Debacle in Afghanistan. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez became the latest member of
Congress to blame the still-unfolding evacuation catastrophe in Afghanistan on former President Donald Trump though he
managed to defeat ISIS during his first year in office, created stability in the country for the past year and has not been
in office for seven months. In an interview with MSNBC's Joy Reid, who often refers to conservatives and those who
disagree with her politically as racists, the self-declared democratic socialist from New York pointed the finger of blame
for Thursday's deadly attack on U.S. forces outside the international airport at Kabul on the previous president and his
administration. Two separate attacks killed 11 Marines, two U.S. Army soldiers, and a Navy corpsman while wounding 17 others.
AOC
demands Biden resettle a minimum of 200,000 Afghanis in U.S. as quickly as possible. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez is demanding that the Biden administration take in hundreds of thousands of Aghan refugees even as the U.S.
military struggling to get all Americans out of the war-torn country ahead of an Aug. 31 deadline. The New York leftist
told The Independent that Biden should set, as a minimum, the acceptance of 200,000 Afghans into the U.S. as the country
exits its longest war. She added those refugees should be permanently resettled and eventually granted naturalized
American citizenship. "I believe we need to move and the administration needs to move as quickly as possible and as
expansively as possible ensuring that we are raising the amount of refugee visas to whatever amount is necessary," she told
the outlet.
AOC,
in middle of a packed crowd, dons a mask when the cameras start rolling. It's mask theatre time again, as the
latest attempt to panic the public into accepting limits on our freedom and an experimental gene therapy gathers steam.
In countless locations, Americans are being hectored to wear face masks, and don't you dare point out that most of them are
useless in preventing the transmission of microscopic droplets of the COVID virus. How is Nancy Pelosi supposed be able
to color coordinate her outfits with an N94 mask, after all? But Democrats and nearly all the media go along with the
charade, even when it is blatantly obvious none of them believe the masks are effective. Consider the case of
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Yesterday, she was there in front of the US Capitol, demonstrating with a densely-packed
crowd to demand an extension of the eviction moratorium on tenants who don't pay their rent. Until she knew she was
going to be photographed, she was perfectly okay with being unmasked in the midst of the crowd. But when she thought
the cameras were about roll, she hastily put on a mask.
'Defund
Police' Advocate AOC Paid Thousands for Her Own Security. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), the
radical leftist who has been spouting off for more than a year about "defunding the police," has had her campaign paying
thousands for her own personal security. When NYC moved to cut $1 billion from the NYPD, she said that wasn't
enough. "Defunding police means defunding police," she said. She'll "defund" your police, but she's going to keep
her own special, personal protection. Too bad that you might not have the ability to pay for the protection that her
campaign does. [...] Her campaign paid private security and consultants $34,000 in the first half of 2021. At least
$4,636 of that was paid to Tullis Worldwide Protection for security services between January and June of this year per FEC
records, according to the New York Post. The company is owned by a former Blackwater contractor, Devin Tullis. [...]
Folks on the left have absolute conniption fits over Blackwater, and many of their conspiracy theories involve some
demonizing aspect of Blackwater. So it's very funny that she's hired a former Blackwater guy [...]
AOC
has spent thousands on security, including $4k-plus to ex-Blackwater contractor. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez paid thousands for personal security to a former Blackwater contractor, a review of Federal Election Commission
records shows. AOC's campaign dropped at least $4,636 at Tullis Worldwide Protection for "security services" between
January and June of this year according to the filings. The Franconia, Virginia-based company is owned by Devin Tullis,
whose other clients include the royal families of both Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, according to his
website. AOC has been among the most vocal proponents of the defund the police movement since coming to Congress, and
has insisted the idea would turn blighted communities into suburban paradises.
AOC
Says She Thought She Was Going to Be Raped on Jan. 6 — She Was Never in Capitol Building. Democratic
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York claimed she was worried she would be "raped" during the Jan. 6 Capitol
incursion in an unaired CNN interview, and she's being reminded online that she was not even in the building. Project
Veritas reported Tuesday it had obtained an interview with AOC from an undisclosed CNN source. The interview shows CNN
anchor Dana Bash asking the New York Democrat softball questions, and the conversation inevitably ended up on the Capitol
incursion. But in one segment, which was highlighted and shared on Twitter by conservative commentator Matt Walsh, AOC
implied that white and conservative election integrity activists converged on Washington, D.C., in January for more than a protest.
In
leaked CNN interview, AOC says she thought she faced rape at Capitol riot. Clips of a leaked CNN interview
published by Project Veritas show Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez saying she thought she was going to
be raped at the Capitol Riot. In the video clip published by Project Veritas Tuesday, Ocasio-Cortez told CNN's Dana
Bash that she is a survivor of sexual assault, noting that she has not "told many people that." Project Veritas' source
believed CNN would air the interview in August, spokesman Mario Balaban told the Daily Caller News Foundation. The New
York Democrat previously announced in February to her nine million Instagram followers that she is a survivor of sexual
assault, arguing that those who say it is time to move on from the Capitol Riot are "using the same tactics of every other
abuser who just tells you to move on."
AOC Illegally Parks [her]
Tesla Near Whole Foods AGAIN. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) continues to defy Washington, D.C.,
traffic regulations by illegally parking her Tesla near the Whole Foods in her posh neighborhood. Video obtained by the
Washington Free Beacon shows the socialist congresswoman packing her Tesla on Sunday while the luxury sports car was
parked in a clearly marked restricted area. Perhaps most disturbingly, Ocasio-Cortez was seen transporting her
belongings on a hotel dolly, which some experts have identified as a symbol of white supremacy and income inequality.
The video suggests Ocasio-Cortez was not chastened by the Free Beacon's groundbreaking exposé on her illegal
parking habits. Our publication of photos taken on May 14, which showed the congresswoman's Tesla in brazen
contravention of the district's parking rules, took the political world by storm.
AOC
Tries To Explain Why She Only Blames The US Embargo For What's Happening In Cuba. New York Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez and three other House Democrats affiliated with the far-left Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) have so far
remained silent while the DSA appears to back Cuba's communist regime against protesters demanding freedom.
Ocasio-Cortez, Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib, New York Rep. Jamaal Bowman, and Missouri Rep. Cori Bush make up
the four DSA members in Congress. All four members have yet to speak out about the ongoing protests in Cuba. AOC
tried to explain why she only blames the US embargo for what's happening in Cuba[.] The result was catastrophic!
AOC
Discovers That Republicans Want Cuba's Communist Dictatorship to Fall. The precocious tween who occupies a
congressional seat from New York has suddenly discovered that Republicans aren't fans of the brutal communist regime in Cuba
and want that government to be changed. What a revelation! [...] Regime change in Cuba has enjoyed bipartisan support
until the radicalization of the Democrats in recent years. Presidents of both parties wanted the murderous,
long-winded, weird-bearded communist thug Fidel Castro gone. President John F. Kennedy, a Democrat, even launched an
invasion led by Cuban exiles to topple Castro, in April 1961. The Bay of Pigs invasion failed and Castro remained in
power until he couldn't hold on anymore, at which point he passed power sideways to his brother, Raul. Castro died a
near-billionaire, which was quite a feat for a communist who was supposed to share wealth with the people. It never
ever works out that way. [...] But AOC blames America first because that's so on-brand for her. It's her go-to move.
Ocasio-Cortez
Defends $58 Sweatshirts Because 'Transactions Aren't Capitalism'. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
responded to growing criticism on social media Monday night after Reuters reported the Democratic Socialist spent $1.4
million on 'Tax the Rich' themed merchandise for her web store. "Not sure if you know this Sean, but transactions
aren't capitalism. Capitalism is a system that prioritizes profit at any & all human/enviro cost. But [for what
it's worth] our shop is unionized, doesn't operate for profit,& funds projects like free tutoring, food programs,& local
organizing," fired-back the lawmaker to former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer. [Tweet] "Her campaign
paid political merchandise firm Financial Innovations, which operates her online store and supplies merchandise, more than
$1.4 million in the first six months of 2021, according to campaign disclosures to the Federal Election Commission late
last week," reports the Reuters News Agency. [Tweet]
Former
Florida Dem Congresswoman Scolds AOC for Blaming Cuba Crisis on U.S.. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
(D., N.Y.) drew the ire of a former Florida Democratic congresswoman after she suggested that the U.S. is partially
responsible for the the deprivation that has led to civil unrest in Cuba in recent days. "We also must name the U.S
contribution to Cuban suffering: our sixty-year-old embargo," Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. "I outright reject the Biden
administration's defense of the embargo. It is never acceptable for us to use cruelty as a point of leverage against
every day people."
AOC
Urges Illegals to Apply for Welfare in New York. The conscience of the American left, Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio Cortez, told illegals how to apply for welfare in a recent video. AOC told illegal aliens, "Do not count
yourself out," as she urged them to sign up for their government benefits. AOC has been pushing welfare for illegal
aliens for years now. It is also widely known that most U.S. families headed by illegal immigrants use taxpayer-funded
welfare programs on behalf of their American-born anchor babies.
Secret
Service Arrested Dozens of Extremists at U.S. Capitol — But Nobody in the Media Cared. The U.S.
Capitol was the site of a gathering of hundreds of extremists earlier this week. Protesters held aloft picket signs
blaring 'No Compromise!' Blockades were erected at entrances. Secret Service agents made dozens of arrests. The
media completely ignored it. All extremists may be equal, but some extremists are more equal than others. These
were climate extremists demanding that President Biden take authoritarian action to keep the climate from changing.
Therefore, just as with Black Lives Matter torching cities and looting communities, and Antifa violently attacking civilians,
they can be 'safely' ignored. The radical activists were led once again by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, who had been
the inciter of an 'insurrection' before. In 2018, the notorious AOC had actually staged a sit-in at Nancy Pelosi's office.
AOC
is 'All Out Crazy', Nothing But a 'Sanctimonious Hypocrite' on Public Safety. New York Mayoral Candidate Curtis
Sliwa ripped the city's Democratic leadership on 'Hannity' Monday night [6/28/2021] where he slammed AOC, a.k.a All Out
Crazy, for having armed security guards while denying public safety to average people. "You have dedicated decades of
your life to fighting crime... This city now, New Yorkers want to be safe, but are there enough of them?" asked
Hannity. "You're right. AOC — All Out Crazy — who has armed security officers with her at
all times. Just like the rest of her Democrat Socialists of America and Social Justice Warriors, who are all
sanctimonious hypocrites. They deny public safety to average people by putting handcuffs on the police instead of the
criminals!" said Sliwa.
AOC
Is Incoherent On Crime And Gun Control. While many Democrats are worried that the rising crime rate in most
U.S. cities could hurt them at the ballot box this year, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appears to be more concerned that
people are getting "hysterical" about the crime spike, and she certainly doesn't want to see politicians do anything rash
like, say, spending more money on policing. [...] On today's Bearing Arms' Cam & Co we're exploring the inconsistent and
incoherent positions of AOC, who seems troubled over the idea of more policing as a response to violent crime but has also
embraced the idea of creating new federal gun offense that will be policed by armed law enforcement agents.
Rep.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warns of 'hysteria' on soaring violent crime incidents. Violent crimes are soaring in
places like New York City. The left has called for defunding the police, and as leftist politicians bow down to them,
police are retiring in droves. What does the queen of the far left have to say now that the news is getting out?
All that far-left socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez can offer is this: Don't be hysterical.
Pelosi's
select committee on wealth inequality sparks controversy. The House Democrats' new select committee on wealth
inequality is sparking controversy. The select committee was created in January of this year, but its seats remained
empty until this week. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) announced eight members this week to make up the
committee, which is officially called the Select Committee on Economic Disparity and Fairness in Growth. [...] Pelosi sparked
backlash, though, for adding to the committee one of Congress' more controversial members: Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.). She has a history of incendiary comments that have drawn widespread opposition from
Republicans. Ocasio-Cortez has openly embraced Democratic socialism and proposed legislation along those lines,
including a massive Green New Deal package that would pay those "unwilling to work." Recently, she took fire in the
aftermath of fighting between Israel and the terrorist group Hamas for comments her critics called anti-semitic.
AOC
says she's 'inclined' to call on Justice Breyer, 82, to step down so Biden can name a younger liberal to the Supreme
Court. House Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says she is 'inclined to say yes' when asked if Justice Stephen
Breyer should retire so that President Joe Biden can appoint a younger liberal judge to the Supreme Court. 'You know,
it's something I think about, but I would probably lean towards yes,' Ocasio-Cortez told CNN on Sunday [6/13/2021] when asked
if she thought the 82-year-old Breyer should step down at the conclusion of this Supreme Court term. 'I would give more
thought to it, but I'm inclined to say yes.'
The Editor says...
[#1] Justice Breyer isn't much old than Joe Biden, but AOC hasn't complained about Biden yet. [#2] If a vacancy on the Supreme Court
materializes during Biden's first and only term, the selection of a SCOTUS nominee will not be made by Biden himself, but rather by the anonymous
committee that pulls his strings. [#3] It would be hilarious to see AOC herself nominated to the Supreme Court, just to see her grilled by some
of the most competent and experienced lawyers in the Senate. Unfortunately, there is a greater-than-zero risk that she might actually be confirmed!
AOC's
aunt says Trump is NOT to blame for lack of aid to the struggling island. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's angry
tweet about her grandmother's damaged home in Puerto Rico and accusations about 'blocked' Hurricane Maria aid sparked a new
storm — with one right-wing commentator starting a GoFundMe page that raised $104,000 to help her 'abuela'.
But the fiery congresswoman might not have the unequivocal support of one member of her family for her online outburst.
Conservative
commentator Matt Walsh raises $104,000 for AOC's Puerto Rican grandmother. A conservative commentator raised more than
$104,000 to help repair the Puerto Rico home of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's grandmother, but the Democratic congresswoman and 'Squad'
leader is refusing to accept it. She had posted images on social media earlier this week showing the severely damaged
house — with a falling-in ceiling — which she blamed on former President Trump, who she said had blocked aid
to the hurricane-ravaged island and US territory. Commentator Matt Walsh said it was rich that someone who made $174,000 a year
as a congresswoman — and drove a Tesla — would be begging on Twitter for help; he organized the GoFundMe
campaign that had raised $104,000 by Saturday morning [6/5/2021].
Conservatives
raise more than $65,000 for ... AOC's grandmother. No, this isn't an act of Christian charity. I mean, it
is. But that wasn't the motive. The motive was to own the libs. One lib in particular. Makes
you wonder why more nonprofits haven't followed a PR strategy of asking people to donate to good causes out of sheer spite
for one's political opponents. "Want to see progressives humiliated? Then give us your money."
Is
Kamala the best feminism can do? Prior to Kamala, the darling of the left was, and in many ways still is,
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Her greatest contribution to the political landscape was convincing the Democrat
establishment to take seriously a nonsensical, prohibitively expensive "Green New Deal." The fact that the least
accomplished member of Congress had that much pull on the left's platform speaks to the party's detachment from actual
Americans' priorities. AOC's insistent socialist ideology helped cost Speaker Pelosi a sizable advantage in the
congressional races this past election cycle. But who can forget Rep. Ocasio-Cortez's Oscar-worthy performance at
the southern border, when she shed crocodile tears for the detained migrant children? She is now absent at the same
border, where even more migrant children are held now that Biden is in the White House.
AOC
steps on a rake trying to score points against Trump using her grandmother in Puerto Rico as an example.
Socialist leaders love to get rich while spending other people's money. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez thought she
had a real zinger of a point to use against former President Trump, blaming him for her grandmother's plight in Puerto Rico
almost four full years after Hurricane Maria hit the island. But she unconsciously revealed her selfishness in a
Twitter thread showing her abuela's (grandmother's) home, complete with leaking and damaged roof. [Numerous tweets]
Critics
slam 'Learjet liberal' AOC for not 'helping' her grandmother after she posted photos of her Puerto Rican home.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was slammed on Twitter Wednesday for not helping her grandmother and instead posting images of her
dilapidated home in Puerto Rico and blaming Trump for not sending aid after Hurricane Maria. Critics were quick to jump
on the post questioning why the progressive congresswoman, who makes $174,000 and drives a Tesla, isn't sending money to help
her grandmother. 'Just over a week ago, my abuela fell ill. I went to Puerto Rico to see her- my 1st time in a year+
bc of COVID,' Ocasio-Cortez wrote on Twitter.
AOC
reveals she's in therapy and then insults combat veterans by comparing serving in Congress on 1/6 to having effectively
'served in war'. Something is deeply wrong with the mind of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. [...] Now, she
is claiming that the trauma she experienced because someone was banging on her office door has her in therapy. And she
has the unbelievable gall to liken what she and other members of Congress experienced that day to having effectively "served
in war." She did so in an interview with Maria Hinohosa of Latino US that lasted almost three-quarters of an hour.
AOC
In Therapy, Claims 1/6 Was Akin To War Service. The nation's most emotionally fragile Congresscritter
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez or AOC gave an interview to Latino USA host Maria Hinojosa. In the interview, she likened the
January 6 Capitol breach to service in a war and revealed she is in therapy. Call the wambulance. AOC has proven
to be emotionally fragile and uses that fragility as a politically manipulative tactic. Who could ever forget her fake
crying in an empty parking lot when she was trying to drag President Donald Trump for putting kids in cages at the
border? Sandy Ocasio-Cortez sobbed during the Congressional testimony of a migrant mother whose 19 month old daughter
died of a lung infection weeks after the child's release from the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (I.C.E.).
The video is [elsew]here. Miss Ocasio-Cortez has certainly used the January 6, 2020 Capitol breach to her political
advantage. She wasn't actually in the Capitol building at the time of the riot, she was in her office blocks
away. But, she encountered a law enforcement officer and was traumatized.
AOC
Gets Wrecked for Making a Ridiculous Claim About 'Serving in War'. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, who
lied about where she was on January 6 in order to ramp up a story of victimhood, is now arguing being on the U.S. Capitol
grounds the day of the riot is equal to "serving in war." "Speaking to the weekly public radio show Latino USA on
Friday, Ms Ocasio-Cortez said members of Congress effectively 'served in war' during the traumatising event that had "deeply
affected lawmaking" and impacted the legislative process," the Independent reports. Former U.S. Army Green Beret and
Congressman Michael Waltz has taken notice and is blasting his colleague for the comparison.

Ocasio-Cortez reveals she is in therapy after the Capitol riot that she believes was an 'all-out attempted coup'.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has revealed she is in therapy after the Capitol Riot she believes was an 'all-out attempted coup'. The
Squad member told the Latino USA podcast that she is learning to 'slow down' and indicated her colleagues in the House are still too scared to
talk about what happened on January 6. 'Oh yeah, I'm doing therapy but also I've just slowed down. I think the Trump
administration had a lot of us, especially Latino communities, in a very reactive mode,' she said.
The Squad Is Rooting
for Hamas. [Alexandria] Ocasio-Cortez, usually a font of half-baked socialist economic ideas, now regularly
offers thoughts on the Israeli-Palestinian situation to her 12 million Twitter followers. Here is one: [Tweet]
First of all, there are no "expulsions of Palestinians."&Nbsp; Six Palestinian families may be evicted from their homes in the
Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in a property dispute — and the Israeli supreme court has delayed a decision —
over land that was seized from Jewish families by the Jordanian Army after 1948. It's a complicated case, brought to the
judicial system by private citizens and adjudicated in an independent court.
New
York's pro-Israel Dems [are being] bullied into silence by AOC, Jewish activists say. Jewish activists accused
powerful Democrats in the New York congressional delegation of cowering to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other
leftist House members of the "Squad" by failing to forcefully stand up for Israel during its fight with Hamas in the Gaza
strip. "Chuck Schumer? Who?," a frustrated Michael Nussbaum, president of the Queens Council of Jewish
Organizations, said sarcastically of the powerful Senate majority leader who represents New York. "I'm surprised and
disappointed. Members of the New York congressional delegation who have a lot of sway have not spoken out forcefully to
defend Israel, and they have not denounced AOC or corrected her," said Nussbaum.
AOC
says she's going to keep wearing a face mask despite being fully vaccinated. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., told her followers on Instagram that she will keep wearing her mask in "shared indoor public spaces"
even though she is fully vaccinated. "NYC got hit so hard that I think some of us are going to take time adjusting as
we feel comfortable," the New York Democrat wrote on her Instagram story. "Personally I'm going to keep wearing my mask
in shared indoor public spaces like elevators, subway, grocery store, etc.," she said. Ocasio-Cortez told her followers

finally comes out on top! New study finds her to be the most partisan Dem in Congress. Democratic
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York was found to be the least bipartisan member in the House, according to a new
nonpartisan study from the Lugar Center and Georgetown University's McCourt School of Public Policy. Researchers who
performed the study drew primarily from congressional data showing how often members co-sponsored legislation offered by
those of the opposition party. "We sought to develop an objective measure of how well members of opposite parties work
with one another using bill sponsorship and co-sponsorship data. We gravitated toward bill sponsorships and
co-sponsorships for two reasons," a summary of the study notes.
AOC
bizarrely links Gaza conflict to the Southern border crisis. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and members
of the liberal 'Squad' spoke from the House floor on Thursday night [5/13/2021] to blast Israel for what they said was its
escalating of a conflict with Palestine. During her appearance, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez — popularly known as
AOC — compared what Palestinians have experienced in the conflict to that of children at the United States' southern border,
according to the New York Post. Children who have arrived unaccompanied at the border with Mexico have been placed into
shelters. Ocasio-Cortez said that Americans 'are scared to stand up to the incarceration of children in Palestine
because maybe it'll force us to confront the incarceration of children here on our border,' according to the outlet.
Marjorie
Taylor Greene demands of AOC, "Why do you support terrorists?". It's ironic to read about Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez calling for civility in Congress. She has developed a reputation for giving the back of her hand to
Republicans on social media. No one is turning to her for tips on how to conduct themselves in the halls of
Congress. Nonetheless, here we are. Another bomb-thrower, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican,
confronted AOC yesterday [5/12/2021] and a couple of Washington Post reporters witnessed the exchange. It must have
been quite a sight. Taylor Greene repeatedly calling AOC's name to get her attention and then chasing her for a response.
AOC
criticizes Biden statement of support for Israel as siding with 'occupation'. U.S. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., criticized President Biden over his Wednesday statement of support for Israel amid escalating violence
with Hamas, claiming he gave little context for what stoked the tensions and was consequently "siding with occupation."
Biden told reporters Israel has a right to defend itself "when you have thousands of rockets flying into your territory."
Ocasio-Cortez tweeted that Biden had failed to mention the pending evictions of dozens of Palestinians from their homes in
East Jerusalem in favor of Israelis and the Israeli police raid of the Al-Aqsa mosque that left hundreds of worshippers hurt
as an instigator to Hamas' rocket attacks.
AOC
Calls For Creation Of 1.5 Million Member 'Climate Corps' To Enforce Green New Deal. Now that the Biden
administration has embraced the radical ideas of the Democratic party's far-left progressive wing and their Green New Deal
agenda, the government could soon be empowering a legion of enforcers. The idea comes from Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez, who remains the ideological driving force behind the party's embrace of previously unthinkable socialist
ideas, who is now calling for the creation of an army of 1.5 million strong to put boots on the ground in the war against
climate change. AOC is leading a cadre of leftist Democrats who want Joe Biden to commit to founding the Civilian
Climate Corps which will be ostensibly be tasked with maintaining and cleaning up parks and "natural land" but could
conceivably be repurposed as political enforcers similar to those typically seen in some of history's most notorious
oppressive regimes.
Move
over Marine Corps, AOC calls for 1.5 million-strong 'Climate Corps'. Two years after its debut, the Green New
Deal was re-introduced two weeks ago, with Ocasio-Cortez joined by Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass. The lawmakers spoke
about green jobs, social justice, and the Civilian Climate Corps. President Joe Biden included the corps in his
$2 trillion American Jobs Plan, calling for investments in training and $15 per hour union dues-paying jobs with health care
coverage and other benefits like child care and counseling. Fox News reported that the CCC "would fall under the purview of
the Corporation for National and Community Service, an independent government agency that also runs AmeriCorps and other national
service initiatives." Corps members would receive on-the-job training and work to help "reduce carbon emissions, enable a
transition to renewable energy, build healthier and more resilient communities, implement conservation projects with proven climate
benefits, and help communities recover from climate disasters," according to a Markey press release.
The Editor says...
[#1] Creating thousands of busy-work jobs won't change the climate. [#2] Democrats and unions
exchange favors constantly. That's the whole
purpose of programs like this. Unionized workers will be badgered into voting for Democrats, and the
cycle will repeat. [#3] Cleaning up after a storm is not the federal government's responsibility.
[#4] Having this new layer of bureaucracy will not improve the climate in any measurable way.
House
Republicans demand vulnerable Democrats return AOC donations: 'Give back her socialist cash'. The Republican
Party's campaign arm launched a new website this week calling on more than two dozen House Democrats, many from highly
competitive districts, to return campaign contributions from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The
website — named "Socialist Give Back" — lists 26 House Democrats who received donations from
Ocasio-Cortez, accusing them of supporting some of their party's most liberal policies. "Every vulnerable Democrat who
refuses to give back donations from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is complicit in her socialist agenda that wants to defund the
police, open our borders and raise taxes," Michael McAdams, a spokesperson for the National Republican Congressional
Committee, said in a statement to Fox News.
AOC:
Why are we letting nine justices tell Congress what it can and can't do? In all seriousness, there's less to
her comment about letting nine judges boss Congress around than there might appear. She's not suggesting that Congress
should disregard rulings by the Court — I think. And she's not arguing that Marbury v. Madison should
be overturned and the practice of judicial review abandoned — I think. What she's saying, dopily enough, is
that she'd be fine with 13 judges telling America's elected representatives what they can and can't do. Just not nine.
Marjorie
Taylor Greene Challenges AOC To A Debate On The Green New Deal. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene issued a
debate challenge to her colleague, far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), regarding the Democrat's Green New Deal
proposal. Greene (R) issued the challenge via a series of tweets. "AOC I'd like to challenge you to a debate on
the Green New Deal economic policy," she wrote. She suggested a discussion on the merits of the Green New Deal would be
of interest to a national audience and said the pair could even choose their own moderators. Greene advised pitting her
degree in business administration and experience running a company up against Ocasio-Cortez's degree in economics "would be
informative for the American People."
New
Dem Program Inflates Possible 'COVID Deaths' Without Testing. The COVID-19 pandemic is the gift the keeps on
giving for Democrats seeking to cash in on the viral outbreak for every bit of power and political influence it can wring
from it. On Tuesday [4/13/2021], Democrats Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer
discussed a new funeral aid program that would allow posthumous deaths to be recategorized as 'may have' died from COVID.
[...] "So here's what families need to know," she went on. "Your loved one should have Covid on their death
certificate. Anywhere listed on their death certificate, either as the primary or contributing cause of death. In
those early days though we know that so many people — we didn't know what was Covid and what wasn't —
and so there are several options available here, one is that we can go back to the institution that issued the death
certificate, the hospital, the physician, etc., and you can have your death certificate added in retrospect knowing what we
know now about COVID."
The Editor says...
AOC is urging her constituents to retroactively jump aboard the Covid bandwagon, to have them
claim dubious victimhood, for the sake of her power and influence.
Police
Officers Pay Visit to Home of Anti-War Activist Over Harmless Tweet Criticizing AOC. Two plainclothes
California police officers showed up to the home of an anti-war activist over a harmless tweet criticizing Democrat
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The police officers were sent to the Los Angeles home of Ryan Wentz, an anti-war
activist on April 8 on behalf of the Capitol Police. AOC denies any involvement, however many are asking who
initiated the phone call to the Capitol Police.
Study declares
AOC one of the least effective members of Congress. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., was among the
least effective members of the last Congress, according to a new survey from the nonpartisan Center for Effective
Lawmaking — a joint project of Vanderbilt University and the University of Virginia. Ocasio-Cortez
introduced a total of 21 bills that the center defined as "substantive" — but that is where the story ends.
Her legislation received no action in committees, no floor votes, and none ever became law, according to the center, which
takes its data from Congress.gov. "She introduced a lot of bills, but she was not successful at having them receive any
sort of action in committee or beyond committee and if they can't get through committee they cannot pass the House," Alan
Wiseman, a Vanderbilt political scientist and co-director of the center, told The [New York] Post.
Hypocritical,
hilarious AOC says calling border crisis a 'surge' invokes white supremacy. "This is not a surge. These
are children, and they are not insurgents, and we are not being invaded. Which, by the way, is a white supremacist
philosophy. The idea that if another is coming in the population, that this is an invasion of who we are." That's
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's (D-N.Y.) latest WTF moment on Instagram, which is breathtaking even for the same person
who once said during the Trump years that unemployment was low only "because everybody is working two jobs," which isn't how
unemployment numbers are calculated. So let's unpack this latest verbal masterpiece by quoting the most popular member
of Congress (from a social media perspective) in 2019, when a surge decidedly smaller than this one was happening at the
border under the previous administration.
AOC finally
slams Biden's 'barbaric' border conditions, says families deserve reparations. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez on Wednesday night finally slammed the overcrowded conditions for immigrants at the US-Mexican border under
President Biden as "inhumane," "horrifying," "unacceptable" and "barbaric." At one point during her virtual town hall
meeting, the left-wing lawmaker called for "reparations" for some families. And she also blamed decades of US foreign
policy with countries in neighboring Central America for contributing to the perpetual crisis of desperate residents from
poor, violence-torn countries flooding the border. "The fact that this keeps happening is a political failure of both
parties," Ocasio-Cortez said.
The Editor says...
The current situation at the Mexican border is not "a political failure of both parties." The problem wasn't
completely fixed by President Trump due to constant resistance from the Democrats. The immigration flood in the last
three months is entirely the fault of the lying Socialist Democrats.
Rep. Green
slams AOC's 'surge' pushback: 'I'm offended' and border agents should be too. Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn.,
said Wednesday [3/31/2021] on "America Reports" that he was "offended" when he heard Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,
D-N.Y., condemn the use of the term "surge" when discussing the ongoing border crisis. "They wanna say, 'But what about
the surge?'" Ocasio-Cortez said on Tuesday night during an Instagram Live session. "Well, first of all, just gut check,
stop. Anyone who's using the term 'surge' around you consciously is trying to invoke a militaristic frame."&nb
sp;REP. MARK GREEN: ["]If I say cancer is bad, AOC is going to say that I'm a racist. That's
everything that comes out of their mouths these days. It's ridiculous. Those CBP agents, they are there trying to
do their best to take care of those children. It is absolutely insane to say that by their pointing out the fact that there
is a 400-percent increase, it's somehow racist. That's absurd. And it's very clear that Joe Biden's canceling of
policies that Trump put into effect has caused this mass whatever you want to call it. I call it a tragedy.["]
AOC
Displays Weapons-Grade Stupidity on Border Crisis, Biden's Past Comments Only Make Her Rant Worse. Unlike how
vocal and theatrical she was during the Trump years on illegal immigration, Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has been
mostly quiet about the crisis at the southern border. Other than a mild Twitter rant she wrote a little over a month
ago about how keeping kids in cages was "not okay, never has been okay, never will be okay — no matter the
administration or party," AOC has predictably given the Biden administration a pass, for the most part, as new reports are
filed almost daily about the deteriorating conditions at the border as an increasing number of migrants attempt to cross it.
'Cynical,
disgusting': AOC says her 2020 primary challenger was only picked because she's also Latina. AOC's beef with
MCC isn't over yet. New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is alleging that shadowy political forces handpicked
former news anchor Michelle Caruso-Cabrera to challenge her in last year's primary because of her "ethnicity" as part of a
"disgusting" attempt to confuse voters. Ocasio-Cortez made the blistering claim in a wide-ranging interview this week,
charging that "Wall Street" and other unspecified entities selected Caruso-Cabrera for the 2020 primary battle specifically
because she's "also a Latina, down to having a hyphenated last name." "It was just the most cynical, disgusting thing,"
Ocasio-Cortez said in the interview published by the Democratic Socialists of America's magazine.
'Where
is AOC?' Graham Calls Out NY Dem For Being MIA on Border Crisis. During the Trump administration, drama queen
and former bartender Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took a trip to a migrant detention facility in Texas[.] Wearing all
white, she was photographed during a widely publicized border visit in 2018 displaying various emotions — tears,
anguish, frustration, concern, fear — as she peered into a holding area surrounded by a chain-link fence.
But it turned out to be nothing more than political theater: She was busted by other photographers whose wider-angled
shots showed clearly that AOC, as she is known, was not lamenting over migrant children as advertised because there was no
one on the other side. In fact, it was an empty roadway. Now, there is a new crisis on the U.S.-Mexico border,
one of Joe Biden's making. And yet, AOC hasn't found the time yet to and mourn the thousands of newly-detained migrant
children, most of whom are sleeping on floors wrapped by tinfoil-like blankets, if the photos published by Project Veritas
are accurate.
NY
Post: AOC has gone AWOL on the border crisis. Ilhan Omar will travel to the border to see the crisis for
herself, as will fellow House Democrat Joaquin Castro. What about the House Democrat who called detention facilities
"concentration camps" during the Trump administration? The New York Post notices that one high-profile progressive has
gone awfully quiet in this crisis: [...] It's not just that Ocasio-Cortez has gone silent on this particular codel. She
has also gone silent entirely on this issue — after making it a particular priority for the last four years.
It's been a month since Ocasio-Cortez has made any comment at all, the NYP notes, and even that was pretty thin at the time.
Why not $50? AOC:
$15 Minimum Wage a 'Deep, Deep Compromise,' Should Be $24. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Monday
[3/1/2021] criticized certain Democrats for failing to support progressive demands for a $15 minimum wage, contending they
are living in a "dystopian capitalist nightmare" and adding that the minimum wage should actually be $24 an hour. The
New York lawmaker defended the progressive push for a $15 minimum wage during an appearance on The Mehdi Hasan
Show. [Video clip]
Critics
Rip AOC As She Celebrates Frozen Windmills in Texas As Evidence of the Need For a Green New Deal. Criticism was
rampant following comments by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) suggesting power outages in Texas due to a winter
storm and accompanying low temperatures were evidence of why America needs her Green New Deal. "The infrastructure
failures in Texas are quite literally what happens when you *don't* pursue a Green New Deal," she tweeted without evidence.
[...] Former Virginia congressman Denver Riggleman urged Ocasio-Cortez to pursue "facts and analysis" to determine what
happened with the power grid, "not rhetoric." Riggleman also said that AOC's Green New Deal comments were "quite
literally false." [Tweet] Conservative commentator Erick Erickson added, "Yes the snow-covered solar panels and
frozen wind turbines would have been so much more effective by themselves."
Exactly the opposite is true, as usual. Ocasio-Cortez
Slams Texas: That's What Happens 'When You Don't Pursue A Green New Deal'. On Wednesday [2/17/2021],
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) took a swipe at Texas political leaders, propounding that the suffering Texans are
experiencing because of the freezing cold and concomitant power outages could have been addressed by her "Green New Deal."
[...] Critics savaged Ocasio-Cortez's perspective on what went wrong in Texas and her ideas for solving it. Former
Virginia congressman Denver Riggleman fired back: "This is 'quite literally' false. There are many factors that
contributed to the Texas situation, most evident being a winter storm (things like cold and ice) and lack of
preparation. Facts and analysis are the answer, not rhetoric."
The Editor says...
Part of the preparation for cold weather is building plenty of electric power plants that use fuel sources which are
unaffected by cold weather.
AOC
says Biden 'needs' to be pushed on erasing $50,000 in student loan debt: 'We cannot take no for an answer'.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Thursday reiterated her push for President Biden to unilaterally cancel billions of
dollars in student loan debt, warning that whether or not the White House does so "all comes down to public pressure."
The New York Democrat said progressives need to keep pressing the Biden administration to move further left on the matter
after the president indicated he was "unlikely" to use his authority to fully forgive student loan debt for individual
borrowers. "The Biden admin NEEDS to be pushed," Ocasio-Cortez wrote during an Instagram Q&A on Tuesday night.
"They have said they're comfortable with $10K in forgiveness but we NEED at least $50K minimum and there is support for 50K.">/p>
The Editor says...
I was smart enough to out of college before incurring $50,000 in debt, so just send the money directly to me.
AOC
Is Not the Victim. She's the Perp. History has a new greatest monster — move over Hitler, meet
Marjorie Taylor Greene. I don't know much about her, nor do I really care to. [...] If she posted something stupid or
offensive in the past, who cares? I'm more concerned with the morons holding power who are currently working to
undermine the country and individual liberty. All those people have a (D) after their name. One of the most
vocal, if least effective and dumbest, leading that charge is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. When I say "dumb" I don't mean
stupid; she got herself elected to Congress, so the stupid people are those who voted for her. She's dumb in thinking
she can get away with her charade that made her indefinitely. Sooner or later, the piper always demands payment.
Her latest scam is another twist on her default position: claiming victim status. Any criticism she faces is met
with a "You're only saying that because I'm a woman" or a "You're attacking me because I'm Hispanic." When really
desperate, she combines the two.
The
Oprahfication of the House of Representatives. I have a few certainties about January 6:
• First, Trump was not responsible.
• Second, if it's indeed true that the FBI knew in advance that radicals intended to try to enter the Capitol,
and neither the Capitol Hill police nor Pelosi and her team did anything to beef up security, any blood that was spilled is on their hands.
• Third, I am opposed to political violence, whether it comes from the left or the right.
• Fourth, I'm unaware of evidence that any congresspeople were near the Capitol breach nor were they at risk.
• Fifth, AOC's narrative about her experience on January 6 shows either that she entirely lacks both courage [and]
common sense or that she is embroidering her narrative almost to the point of dishonesty.
• Sixth, the Democrats are using what happened on that day as a Reichstag Fire moment — that is, they're taking
an isolated event, crafting an overly broad, false narrative about it, and then using that narrative to destroy their political opponents.
It is profoundly un-American and, indeed, evil.
The latest act in the very public trauma that our nation's Democrat "leaders" suffered occurred on Thursday [2/4/2021], when Nancy Pelosi
granted AOC an hour on the floor so that she and her fellow House members could treat America to their psychic anguish.
The Editor says...
There is simply no room on this web site for merciless derision . . . LIKE THIS: AOC
Is Still the Biggest Lunatic in Congress. Watching the spectacle that is Washington, D.C., play out can often
be interesting and entertaining, a carnival freak show that's fun to view from afar. It's not really giving me the same
detached pleasure that it used to, however. These days it has the feeling of a television drama that has been on the
air one season too long. You know how that goes: the writers run out of ideas and the scripts start really reaching,
becoming more implausible with each episode. [...] The surreal weirdness in all of this is that across the aisle in that very
same House of Representatives one Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is a member in good standing. Let me put this as
clearly as I can: Marjorie Taylor Greene's craziest day on this planet would be AOC's sanest.
Looks Like There Are Still
More Issues With AOC's Capitol Story. Yesterday [2/3/2021] we broke the story about Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez not being in the Capitol building at the time that everything went down on Jan. 6. That was something
people hadn't realized when she told her dramatic Instagram story of what happened that day in her experience. People
assumed that her office was in the Capitol building. [...] But when the knock came on her door, shortly after 1:01, no one
had even breached the Capitol building yet. There was some pushing past an outer perimeter barrier at 12:53 still some
distance from the Capitol building but the breach of the building didn't come until about an hour after the officer knocked
on AOC's door. What she's saying now is with the hindsight of what later occurred, but there was no way of knowing that
people were breaching a building at that point because it hadn't yet happened. "As the Capitol complex was stormed and
people were being killed, none of us knew in the moment what areas were compromised." But that "moment" hadn't actually
happened yet at 1:01 p.m. No one knew any of that. The building hadn't been "compromised" or "stormed"
as of yet.
Are
we not fact-checking evidence-free claims anymore? At what point are journalists going to hold Democratic
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez accountable for her evidence-free conspiracy-mongering? [...] The congresswoman has been
on a roll recently, lobbing serious allegations of wrongdoing. She even claims Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas
"almost" had her "murdered." Perhaps unsurprisingly, few, if any, in the press have bothered to challenge what are by all
objective standards deadly serious and verifiable accusations. Indeed, many journalists seem perfectly content merely
to repeat the charges and leave it at that. And that's the obvious problem here, that there is basically no pushback
against Ocasio-Cortez from the industry that spent the past four years telling us how good it is at holding the powerful to
account. Who is the police officer in the congresswoman's story? What is his take on her version of events?
Will he have a chance to defend himself? Will establishment journalists even bother to uncover his identity? This
is no small thing, accusing a member of the U.S. Capitol police of possibly conspiring with a seditious, murderous mob.
There's
a reason why #AlexandriaOcasioSmollett is trending. In the 2½ years that she's been in the public eye,
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has proven to be a master at crafting sympathetic narratives, invariably with herself as the
heroine. Because they involve her personal mythology (the facts cannot be challenged) or the broader leftist narrative
(and again, the facts cannot be challenged). AOC seems to have gotten cocky enough to abandon the truth about a nationally
reported incident. That's why her video about her alleged near-death experience in the Capitol on January 6 is falling
apart faster than Jussie Smollett's alleged MAGA mugging in Chicago.
AOC
faces backlash as critics point out she wasn't in Capitol building during riots. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is facing criticism over initial claims she made about the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, with many noting that
she wasn't even in the Capitol when it occurred. The controversy erupted after the New York congresswoman posted a
video in which she described a confrontation with Capitol Police at her office, which is located on the larger Capitol
complex. But it is not in the Capitol itself — which includes the dome, the House, and the Senate —
and was where many rioters stormed in and were seen breaking windows. Her office is located in the Cannon building, which
is accessible through underground tunnels connected to the Capitol as well as via a short stroll down a walkway and across the street.
AOC
wasn't in the Capitol Building at the time of the Jan. 6 riot — she was in another building entirely.
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has spoken at length about her experience during the Capitol Hill riot on Jan. 6.
From her live Instagram videos, it has seemed like she was on the front line, facing down Trump supporting rioters in the halls outside
her office. But it turns out, Ocasio-Cortez wasn't in the Capitol at the time of the assault on Congress, she was in her office
[in] another building entirely. Ocasio-Cortez's congressional office is in the Cannon House Office Building, according to her
website, her Washington, DC address is 229 Cannon HOB. The Cannon HOB is accessible to the Capitol via tunnel. On Tuesday,
Ocasio-Cortez spoke to millions of fans on Instragram relaying her past experience of sexual assault, which she said left her
traumatized. This experience, she said, was compounded by her what happened to her during the Capitol Hill riot.
AOC
was not in the U.S. Capitol building during Jan. 6 riot. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) was not in
the U.S. Capitol Building when a mob violently stormed it on January 6 but rather in her Cannon Office Building office.
The second-term congresswoman has since recanted her experience during the deadly siege, which she has described as
"near-death." However, no rioters broke into Cannon, a Wednesday report from the conservative publication RedState
claims. Ocasio-Cortez has since slammed the report as "the latest manipulative take on the right."
AOC
Wasn't Even In Capitol During January Riot. The hashtag "#AlexandriaOcasioSmollett" became a top trend on
Twitter Wednesday as users connected the dots to find that the New York congresswoman wasn't in the Capitol building during
her "near-death experience." Since the attack, the 31-year-old Democrat has only escalated the hysteria surrounding her
own safety, speaking directly to her millions of followers on Instagram and publishing inflammatory posts on Twitter,
contradicting herself along the way. The week after the attack, AOC claimed her Republican colleagues would help the
criminal rioters find and hurt her as the mob stormed the Capitol complex. "I myself did not even feel safe going to
that extraction point," Ocasio-Cortez said of the House bunker harboring lawmakers from the chaos, "because there were QAnon
and white supremacist sympathizers and frankly white supremacist members of Congress in that extraction point."
The Editor says...
If her sweeping generalizations are true, she should be willing to name the "white supremacist members of Congress."
Name them, or retract the statement. Please note that the Democratic Party warmly embraced Robert Byrd — a former
officer in the KKK — for several decades. Democrats invented Jim Crow laws in the 1880s. The KKK's affinity
with the Democrats is well known.

AOC Wasn't Even in the Capitol
Building During Her 'Near Death' Experience. We've reported various aspects of the account of Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) of what happened to her on Jan. 6 during the breach at the Capitol. But there are some very
critical facts that have been missing from her story that I wanted to talk about here. The story, as it was initially
related by AOC, suggested that she was about to be assassinated by rioters in her office in a video that has been viewed over
6 million times. [Tweet with video clip] [...] As it turns out, however, as my colleague Bonchie reported earlier,
AOC said in her Instagram drama that the person who came to her office was a Capitol Police officer. But she denigrated the
officer who came to help, claiming he "didn't feel right" and that he was looking at her "in all of this anger and hostility."
Obsessing
over AOC only boosts her profile and her terrible ideas. [Scroll down] Ocasio-Cortez is pointedly not a
friend of anyone on the right. She is barely even a friend to Democrats. She's in the House to be outraged and to
be outrageous. She's a self-described democratic socialist. Her purpose is to destroy the Ted Cruzes of this
world and everything they stand for. So why is he even bothering? Would Ocasio-Cortez ever go out of her way to
agree with Cruz or any Republican? Of course not. It's a wider problem on the right: We just can't get
enough of the Commie congresswoman from The Bronx. Her real political power is still blessedly minimal, yet the space
she occupies in our conversations is infinite. [...] Dunking on her idiocies is easy, and it's hard to resist doing it.
But those of us who oppose socialism have to stop doing this.
This
wretched witch needs to curb her incendiary rhetoric. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had only been in Congress less
than two months when I realized that this wretched woman isn't "stupid-funny," but "stupid-dangerous." Sure, she might
have started out as stupid-funny. Heaven knows people on the Right have made a cottage industry of lampooning her for
her lack of smarts or common sense. But the truth is, it didn't take long to realize that her stupidity isn't a laughing
matter. She is a deeply dangerous, wretched little witch whose reckless rhetoric brings out the very worst in people.
Chip
Roy demands AOC apologize to Cruz or face 'alternative means' of condemnation. [Scroll down] "It has come
to my attention that Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sent out a tweet a few hours ago in which she accused Senator
Ted Cruz, in essence, of attempted murder," [Rep. Chip] Roy said in his late Thursday [1/28/2021] letter. "As a
member of this body who disagreed with 'objections' to the electors and who has expressed publicly my concerns about the
events leading to January 6th, it is completely unacceptable behavior for a Member of Congress to make this kind of
scurrilous charge against another member in the House or Senate for simply engaging in speech and debate regarding electors
as they interpreted the Constitution. I ask you to call on her to immediately apologize and retract her comments," Roy
said in the letter. He continued: "If Representative Ocasio-Cortez does not apologize immediately, we will be
forced to find alternative means to condemn this regrettable statement," Roy wrote.
AOC:
Ted Cruz 'Almost Had Me Murdered 3 Weeks Ago,' 'Tried to Get Me Killed,' Must RESIGN. Controversial
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez exploded on Senator Ted Cruz on social media Thursday; saying the Republican "almost
had her murdered three weeks ago" during the Capitol Hill incursion. "I am happy to work with Republicans on this issue
where there's common ground, but you almost had me murdered 3 weeks ago so you can sit this one out. Happy to work w/
almost any other GOP that aren't trying to get me killed. In the meantime if you want to help, you can resign," posted
AOC on Twitter.
The Editor says...
At the risk of encouraging AOC by giving her outbursts any notice at all, let me just state the
obvious: If Ted Cruz is a potential murderer, his resignation from the Senate wouldn't make any difference.
AOC: There Are 'Legitimate White
Supremacist Sympathizers' In Republican Caucus. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) accused Republican
lawmakers of being racists again. In fact, she claimed that there are "legitimate white supremacist sympathizers" among
GOP House members. [...] The socialist lawmaker made the comments during an appearance on MSNBC on Wednesday evening
[1/27/2021] during a conversation about her experience with the U.S. Capitol riots. She previously stated that she
chose to hunker down in a less safe area because the more secure area was occupied by Republican lawmakers. AOC
intimated that she was too afraid to hide alongside GOP representatives because she supposedly believed they would harm her
since they are white supremacists who hate brown people.
Another
day, another stunning display of AOC's ignorance. CNN's Chris Cuomo interviewed left-wing darling Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez and naturally asked why she didn't attend Biden's inauguration. Her reason, she said, was that she and
some of her colleagues "don't yet feel safe around other Members of Congress." [...] After all, people have guns there, which
is just unacceptable in the District of Columbia. "For individuals who don't know," she says, "guns are not allowed in
the District of Columbia." We've become accustomed to such displays of pure ignorance from the young bartender/taco
waitress-turned-congresswoman, but there's something in this exchange that seems particularly instructive. First of
all, that "guns are not allowed in the District of Columbia" is a shocking revelation to the people who legally own guns
there. It must be particularly shocking to the people who have concealed carry permits issued in the District of Columbia.
With
Impeachment, Congress [is] Trying to Overturn Future Elections. Truly, these are the most fundamentally
dishonest and unserious people ever to hold elected office. They are a mockery of self-governance and precisely why
Mr. Trump got elected in the first place. You might say House Speaker Nancy Pelosi presides over a circus of
untrained animals and diabolical clowns, but that would be an unkind insult to clowns and penned animals, frantically pacing
back and forth, back and forth inside their confined cages. Speaking to her social media mob, Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez of New York laid out Mr. Trump's impeachable offenses. "A lot of people have drank the poison of
white supremacy and that's what Donald Trump represents," she said. "Just is." That's right. There
is the evidence. There lies the proof. Forget hearings. Forget a trial. "Just is."
AOC
proposes funding to deprogram white supremacists. The federal government needs to fund the de-programming of
white supremacists and conspiracy theorists, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Friday night [1/15/2021]. "The White
supremacist cause is futile, it's nihilist," AOC, a Democrat who represents parts of The Bronx and Queens, said during a
virtual town hall meeting Friday night. "Their world will never exist. That's why we're seeing violence right
now.," she said, speaking in the wake of the violent siege on the US Capitol by radical supporters of President Trump.
"We have to pick up those pieces." Ocasio-Cortez said the House subcommittee on civil rights she serves on has held
hearings over the prior two years on white supremacy and said there are programs to "de-radicalize" brain-washed adherents.
'I
Have Demanded The Resignations' Of Cruz, Hawley, McCarthy: Ocasio-Cortez. Revving up her rhetoric,
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who has been rumored to be considering a run for New York Senator Chuck Schumer's
seat, announced she has issued a "demand" for the resignations of GOP senators Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, and House Minority
leader Kevin McCarthy, among others, in the wake of the breach of the U.S. Capitol on January 6. Ocasio-Cortez intoned,
"What we saw last week was not just a violent coup attempt, but we also saw a dereliction of duty and a betrayal of our
country and a betrayal of the oath that we swear. And that is why I have demanded the resignations of senators (sic)
Ted Cruz, senators (sic) Josh Hawley, Majority Leader, Republican Major-- rather, Republican Minority Leader in the House
McCarthy, Kevon McCarthy, along with many others, because this is not just about political opinion or partisanship.
This was about the abandonment of our sworn oath."
The Editor says...
You're gonna need a lot more than shallow accusations to drive a US Senator out of his office. Starting with
courtroom-quality proof that any of the men named had anything to do with the violent breach of the US Capitol.
Ocasio-Cortez
and Her Media Ministry of Truth. [Scroll down] Let's cut to the chase. The objective here is to
silence the press. As so many people have quickly said, this is straight out of Orwell's 1984 with its "Ministry
of Truth." Yet as unerring as Orwell was with his fiction... it was fiction. But in fact, what AOC is proposing
has been a regular feature of one dictatorship after another over the decades. [...] A United States congresswoman is echoing
not just Orwell's novel about a fascist Ministry of Truth. She is echoing the hard historical reality of
Mussolini's fascist "High Commission for the press" when she says "There's absolutely a commission that's being discussed...
We're going to have to figure out how we rein in our media environment so you can't just spew disinformation and misinformation."
Ocasio-Cortez
Blames Facebook CEO Zuckerberg For Capitol Chaos. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the former bartender
whose ascendance to political stardom is a modern day retelling of the Cinderella fairy tale is accusing Facebook and CEO
Mark Zuckerberg of being partially responsible for the chaos at the U.S. Capitol. AOC who falsely claimed that she was
nearly killed when the building where Americans are sold out on a daily basis was briefly occupied by pro-Trump protesters
and Antifa provocateurs accused Zuckerberg of aiding and abetting what Dems are defining as domestic terrorism. The
narcissistic Twitter diva's stunning remarks came during a virtual town hall with constituents in her New York City
congressional district.
AOC
said she avoided 'extraction points' during Capitol storm because she feared 'white supremacist members of Congress would
disclose her location so she could get hurt or kidnapped'. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) expressed
concern that her own colleagues in Congress might have shared her location to the mob of fanatic Trump supporters while they
were storming the Capitol last Wednesday. Ocasio-Cortez's remarks comes as other Democrats have sounded off on the
possibility that some GOP members of the Congress abetted the rioters as they stormed the building. Lawmakers were
instructed to head for a designated 'extraction point' to seek protection from the chaos, but AOC asserted that that wasn't
really an option 'because there were QAnon and white-supremacist sympathizers and, frankly, white-supremacist members of
Congress in that extraction point who I know and who I have felt would disclose my location and would create opportunities to
allow me to be hurt, kidnapped, et cetera.'
The Editor says...
Actual "white supremacists" are extremely rare in this country. I've known a lot of rednecks, and I've only run across a couple of people who
might have been white supremacists, back in the 20th century. I suspect most people like that are in prison or dead. But if such a person still
exists, he or she generally keeps his feelings private. It is difficult to imagine that an actual white supremacist would be elected to Congress.
Yet, nobody seems to object when AOC claims there are "white-supremacist sympathizers and, frankly, white-supremacist members of Congress."
AOC's
suggestion of commission to 'rein in' media slammed as 'wholly un-American'. Media watchdogs are shocked and
appalled that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said that Congress is looking into media literacy initiatives, including a
commission to help "rein in" misinformation in the wake of last week's deadly breach of the U.S. Capitol — and one
critic slammed AOC's suggestion as "wholly un-American." During a lengthy live stream on Instagram on Tuesday night, the
leader of the so-called "Squad" discussed the aftermath of the Capitol riot, how she feared for her life during the chaos and
what needs to be done going forward. At one point, Ocasio-Cortez read a question from a viewer who asked if there is
discussion in Congress on "truth and reconciliation or media literacy initiatives" to help with healing.
The Editor says...
I'm in favor of "rein(ing) in misinformation," if it means the news media will stop denying
the abundant evidence of wholesale voter fraud in the November 2020 election.
AOC: We need
to 'figure out how we rein in our media environment so that you can't just spew disinformation'.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said this week that she would like to "figure out how we rein in our media environment so
that you can't just spew disinformation and misinformation." When asked on Instagram Live whether or not Congress was
discussing a plan for "federal truth and reconciliation" or "media literacy initiatives to help with healing," Ocasio-Cortez
said it was being discussed and that it was an "interesting concept to explore." "And we're going to have to figure out
how we rein in our media environment so that you can't just spew disinformation and misinformation," the New York Democrat
said. "It's one thing to have differing opinions, but it's another thing entirely to just say things that are
false. And so that's something that we're looking into."
AOC
Says Congress may form commission to "rein' in media after Capital Riot. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
revealed that Congress is looking into creating an investigative commission to "rein in" the media in the wake of the US
Capitol siege. During a lengthy Instagram Live on Tuesday evening where she revealed that she feared for her life
during the siege, the "Squad" member accused the mainstream media of "spewing disinformation" ahead of the deadly riot in
which five people died. "There's absolutely a commission that's being discussed but it seems to be more investigating
in style rather than truth and reconciliation," she said. "I do think that several members of Congress in some of my
discussions have brought up media literacy because that is part of what happened here," Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) went on.
AOC:
Country will heal with the 'actual liberation of southern states' from GOP control. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., took to Instagram on Tuesday night and suggested that the states in the south need to be
"liberated." During an over hour-long livestream about the Capitol Hill riots and the ongoing efforts to impeach
President Trump, the progressive lawmaker reiterated her call for GOP Senators Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley to resign or be
ousted by Democratic challengers for leading the opposition in the certification of President-elect Biden's victory.
She then pointed to "multi-racial" and "multi-cultural" grassroots organization in Georgia that led to Democrats taking
control of the Senate as a sign that "southern states are not red states, they are suppressed states."
AOC Loses Her Mind With Hyperbole
About Capitol Protest, But Here's a Little Reality Check for Her. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was
running fast and free with with the hyperbole when she appeared on ABC with George Stephanopoulos on Sunday [1/10/2021],
attacking Republicans over the Capitol protest and demanding "accountability." [...] "We came close to nearly half of the
House dying on Wednesday." She also then later made a misleading comment about the number about police deaths in
relation to the protest. "Five people died and we just learned another officer lost his life," she claimed. [...]
First, only one officer has died, he died after he returned to his office and may have died as a result of an underlying
medical condition. The story that he was hit with a fire extinguisher was reported as "fact" but was not
confirmed. Another officer committed suicide, so he did not "lose his life" from the protest. Second, no, nearly
half of Congress didn't come close to dying, no members died, nor were any actually even personally attacked.
AOC
Staffer Wants People Banned For Retweeting AOC's Support Of BLM Riots. Some supporters of President Donald
Trump made a serious error in judgment earlier this week when they decided to break into the U.S. Capitol Building and
assault (and allegedly kill) one police officer in the process. Looking back, it's easy to believe that some of those
people were lambasting Antifa and Black Lives Matter supporters all last year as they attacked innocents, burned
buildings, looted businesses, and even killed supporters of the president. The invasion of the people's house was not
only a criminal act, but it was also monumental hypocrisy — in spite of the well-earned frustration many of us
have felt after having lost a presidential election in an unprecedented manner and after four years' worth of enduring
physical and political abuse.
Pelosi
Appoints AOC, Other 'Squad' Members to Powerful Oversight Committee; Leftists Promptly Reveal Radical Agenda.
First things, first. As reported by The New York Post on Tuesday [1/5/2021], House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has appointed
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Math Wizard) and two of her "Squad" comrades to the powerful House Oversight and Reform
Committee, which will give the far-left lawmakers a platform from which to push their radical agenda on Joe Biden.
Joining AOC are Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-TDS) and newcomer Rep. Cori Bush (D-BLM). [...] Democrats will be in a
position to advance their agenda without sufficient Republican opposition to stop them. As reported by Daily Wire on
Wednesday, Democrats and leftists have immediately called for radical legislative action that they intend to push Congress to
enact and Biden to sign into law.
The Party Bosses decide who may run and who may not. New
York Democratic Party Chief Warns Ocasio-Cortez Not to Challenge Schumer. The head of New York state's
Democratic Party said Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) shouldn't challenge Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
(D-N.Y.). "I think it would be a primary driven by ambition more than by need," the party's head, Jay Jacobs, told the
New York Post on Dec. 26. There have been unconfirmed reports for months suggesting Ocasio-Cortez — a
self-described democratic socialist who has promoted far-left policies — would challenge Schumer. "Schumer
has been a progressive force in the state for decades," Jacobs said. "She has a constituency that admires her and
supports her, and they're in her community, and I think it would be a loss for them if she were to do that."
Nearly
50% of Americans have an 'unfavorable opinion' of AOC. A new survey has revealed that nearly 50 per cent of
Americans have an 'unfavorable opinion' of Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The Heartland Institute/Rasmussen poll, which
surveyed 1,000 participants from December 6-7, found that a vast majority of likely voters prefer a free-market economic
system over a socialist economic system. Forty-eight respondents see Ocasio-Cortez, who is one of America's most
prominent socialists, as 'unfavorable' with 38 per cent saying they view her as 'very unfavorable'.
AOC is right.
When Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is right, she's right. She's also an embarrassing hypocrite, but
that doesn't mean she's wrong. The New York representative went on a righteous tear Monday after it became clear
that Congress was going to pass a massive, 5,500-page coronavirus aid and government funding package that lawmakers had not
read. "Congress is expected to vote on the second-largest bill in US history today — $2.5 trillion —
and as of about 1pm, members don't even have the legislative text of it yet," said Ocasio-Cortez. "It's not good enough to
hear about what's in the bill. Members of Congress need to see & read the bills we are expected to vote on." She
added later, "Members of Congress have not read this bill. It's over 5000 pages, arrived at 2pm today, and we are told
to expect a vote on it in 2 hours. This isn't governance. It's hostage-taking."
AOC
frustrated with lack of review time ahead of vote on 5,593-page stimulus bill. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez criticized the rushed process ahead of Monday's vote on a massive stimulus bill, as the text is finally
released after long delays. "It's not good enough to hear about what's in the bill. Members of Congress need to
see and read the bills we are expected to vote on," the New York Democrat tweeted. "I know it's 'controversial' and I
get in trouble for sharing things like this, but the people of this country deserve to know. They deserve better."
Capitol Hill leaders announced a finalized deal on $900 billion in coronavirus relief and resources late Sunday evening, but
the 5,593-page bill wasn't released until Monday afternoon.
AOC
Claims 'National Security Policy' [is] Why She Got Vaccine Before More Vulnerable People. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) explained over the weekend why she received her first dose of the Pfizer vaccine before more vulnerable
populations, attributing it to a national security policy that aims to "ensure the continuity of governance during national
emergencies." "I was actually surprised by this too," Ocasio-Cortez said during a Q&A posted to her Instagram over the
weekend, taking questions after sharing a video of herself receiving the vaccine: [Video clip]
Revenge
Of The Moderates: AOC Loses Coveted Energy And Commerce Committee Seat. Behind the scenes, House
Democrats have been quietly lobbying their colleagues to support their bids for key committee assignments. One of the
key assignments up for grabs was a seat on the Energy and Commerce committee which overseas both health care and climate
change. The first person to announce she would try to get support from other members for the assignment was
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. After all, if your priorities are the Green New Deal and Medicare for All, this is
the perfect assignment from which to push both of those. However, AOC had some competition from a moderate member of
the NY delegation, Rep. Kathleen Rice. Both Rice and AOC have spent the last couple of weeks arguing their case
for why they deserve the assignment in preparation for a vote this week.
AOC
says Pelosi, Schumer need to go, but warns of Democratic power vacuum. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
believes the Democratic Party needs new leaders. The progressive firebrand said it's time for House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to go — but warned of a power vacuum that could be filled by
"nefarious forces" who are "even more conservative" than the caucuses' current leaders during a podcast interview on "The
Intercept" that aired Thursday [12/17/2020]. "I do think we need new leadership in the Democratic Party,"
Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said. "I think one of the things that I have struggled with, I think that a lot of people
struggle with, is the internal dynamics of the House has made it such that there [are] very little options for succession."
AOC
Calls for New Dem Leadership. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) called for new leadership to
replace House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.), in an interview with
The Intercept aired on Wednesday [12/16/2020]. The remarks represent Ocasio-Cortez's most direct challenge to
current Democratic congressional leadership, and come a month after Michigan representative Elissa Slotkin vowed not to
support Pelosi for another term as House Speaker. Pelosi is the only candidate for the position, but with Democrats
projected to win at most 226 House seats, Pelosi can only lose eight Democratic votes to remain Speaker.
She has the Reverse Midas Touch. Goya
sales increased 1000% after AOC called to boycott the company. According to the head of Goya, after
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) (D-NY) called for people to boycott the company, it had the opposite effect: sales
spiked. In fact, CEO Bob Unanue says AOC's efforts caused Goya sales to go up by 1000%. Unanue, a self-made Latino
entrepreneur, had made positive remarks about President Trump, drawing the ire of the far left and other Trump opponents.
But the campaign against Unanue, Goya, and its products backfired and resulted in stunning sales figures.
Goya
Foods CEO: AOC Called For Boycott. Our Sales Jumped, So We Named Her Employee Of The Month. Goya Foods
and president CEO Bob Unanue revealed that after Rep. Alexandria Cortez (D-NY) echoed a call for a boycott of Goya
products back in July because Unanue supported President Trump, his company named her "Employee of the Month" because sales
rose so dramatically. Unanue had visited the White House, where he stated, "We're all truly blessed at the same time to
have a leader like President Trump, who is a builder."
AOC mocked
for selling $58 'tax the rich' sweatshirt. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is dealing with some
online backlash over the $58 price tag on a "Tax the Rich" sweatshirt in her campaign shop. Ocasio-Cortez announced
preorders for the black sweatshirt emblazoned with "TAX THE RICH" in all caps on Wednesday night, adding that the items are
"made in the US with dignified, union jobs paying living wages." "Only the rich can afford this idiotic sweatshirt,"
conservative commentator Ben Shapiro wrote on Twitter on Thursday.
AOC Is Selling
Anti-Rich Sweatshirts That Only Rich People Can Afford. The funny thing about socialists is that they hate the
rich but rely on them for everything. The money has to come from somewhere and since the poor don't have it, socialists
have to steal it from those who do. In the same way, New York Democrat Party sweetheart Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez needs
you rich people to use your capitalist tendencies to purchase a shirt to support her socialist ones.
AOC
says 'we need to pay people to stay home' after Vermont proves COVID-19 infection rates can be kept low by giving its
essential workers 'hazard pay'. Rep Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) suggested that the federal government
should be sending a paycheck to Americans to get them to stay home and help stop the spread of the coronavirus. 'To get
the virus under control, we need to pay people to stay home,' she tweeted on Thursday [11/19/2020]. 'Republicans are
mad at this when they literally just voted to do just this in March,' Ocasio-Cortez added, in reference to the sole $1,200
stimulus check Congress authorized in the early days of the pandemic and $600 in federal unemployment, which helped people
stay home.
AOC
Recites a 'Socialist' Wish List on Twitter — If It Sounds Familiar, There's a Good Reason. [T]here
seems to be a cacophony of demands aimed at the much-diminished caucus shepherded by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
(D-Calif.) — and some of the more ornery sheep are getting restless. On Twitter Friday night,
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), a member of the Squad made up of radical progressives in the House, recited a
virtual, Socialist wish list, while griping that she and her comrades haven't gotten their way yet. [Tweet] Right away,
one problem with this tweet is obvious. Every single item on the list (except socialized medicine) has been blocked
from getting out of the House and into the Senate by AOC's own Speaker (the embattled Pelosi is clinging desperately to the
role, at least for the moment).
AOC
defends 'defund the police' mantra after Dem losses. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez defended her support
for "defund the police" Thursday night [11/12/2020] after an election season in which Republicans weaponized the mantra to
paint Democratic opponents as anti-cop and soft on crime. Democratic leaders complained that two issues closely
associated with AOC — defunding the police and socialism — contributed to Democratic losses in House
races last week, including Republican challenger Nicole Malliotakis ousting first-term Democratic Rep. Max Rose in the
Staten Island congressional race. AOC defended her position when a 14-year-old student asked her during a virtual town
hall meeting to define the meaning of "defund the police."
Democratic
moderate to AOC: She's 'advocating policies that are unworkable and extremely unpopular'. Consider this a
companion piece to the one Jazz wrote earlier today. AOC is doing her best to deny that far left policies she and the
Squad have advocated are responsible for Democrats' disappointing outcome in the House. As I pointed out [...], Democrats
were predicted to pick up 10-15 House seats this election. Instead, Republicans have picked up 5 seats and
could add more to that total when all is said and done. It won't be enough for the GOP to take control of the House but
it could set them up to do so in 2022. So in the wake of this disaster, some Democrats are pointing to AOC and policies
embraced by the Squad as the source of the problem.
Biden
Camp: AOC Won't Be Disappointed by 'Incredibly Progressive and Aggressive' Agenda. The Biden team is
promising that Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) will not be disappointed by the president-elect's
"incredibly progressive and aggressive agenda" once he takes office. Asked by NBC host Chuck Todd whether the New York
progressive would be "disappointed or not when she sees the agenda of the Biden administration in the first six months,"
Biden's campaign communications director Kate Bedingfield answered in the negative. "No. I think that Vice
President Biden campaigned on an incredibly progressive and aggressive agenda," Bedingfield responded Sunday [11/8/2020] on NBC.
How odd that she didn't say this before the election. AOC slams
Lincoln Project: 'Def in scam territory'. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez opened a lengthy broadside against
the Lincoln Project on Twitter, siding with many progressives who have increasingly come to view the super PAC run by ex-Republican
supporters of Joe Biden as a grift. "Lincoln Project should take the L and publicly pledge to give a lot of their
fundraising to the people who actually made a big difference," Ocasio-Cortez said late Friday in response to news that the group
had raised at least $67 million during the 2020 election cycle. The soon to be sophomore congresswoman said the 2020
results netted by the organization had not justified the investment.
Ocasio-Cortez
Touts Secret List Targeting Trump Supporters For Retaliation. There is no denying that the American left has
become fully totalitarian as a result of the Democratic party's embrace of radical socialists and anti-Semites. A prime
example of the vicious element that has been growing increasingly powerful is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the taco bar
revolutionary who in a twisted modern version of the classic fairy tale Cinderella, has become arguable the most powerful
member of the Democrat Congress. Since she burst onto the political scene in the summer of 2018, AOC has shown that she
is a petty, vindictive, vicious and cruel person who lies without consequence and has a formidable Twitter mob that will rip
any Dems who dare to question her to shreds.
AOC
and other Dems' vows of vengeance on Trump supporters ensure a fanatical fight to the bitter end. Since
antiquity, military commanders leading expeditions have burned their boats so that nobody would be tempted to desert the
battles ahead and head for the safety of home. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, by calling for lists of Trump
supporters to be compiled, has in effect burned the boats for those Republicans tempted to concede the presidential election
and pledge their support to Biden, so that the media and Democrats (they imagine) will be kind to them. [...] While ominous,
neither of these avengers specify what they have in mind for those who disagreed with them in a presidential election.
Others were not so shy. Jennifer Rubin, who poses as a conservative op-ed writer for the Washington Post, wants a
blacklist that would deny the opportunity to make a living to those who supported the incumbent Republican president.
Rep.
Ilhan Omar Vows to Push Socialist Agenda if Biden Wins. For months, many on the Left have pledged that they
will do everything in their power to make sure that if Joe Biden is elected president, his administration will be the most
progressive ever. Not too long ago, in mid-September, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said, "I think,
overall, we can likely push Vice President Biden in a more progressive direction across policy issues." AOC's socialist
sidekick, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), echoed similar sentiments in an interview with Chuck Todd in mid-August, "You know
what, Joe Biden will become the most progressive president since Franklin Delano Roosevelt. And that, in this moment,
is what we need," said Sanders.
AOC Suggests
She May Seek Higher Office. Freshman Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), currently the youngest
representative in the legislative branch, may be looking at even higher office in the future. During an interview with
Vanity Fair, the democratic-socialist congresswoman revealed that she doesn't "know if I'm really going to be staying in the
House forever, or if I do stay in the House, what that would look like." "I don't see myself really staying where I'm
at for the rest of my life," she added, which could simply imply seeking a congressional leadership position or moving beyond
the House of Representatives.
After
Barrett Confirmation, AOC Immediately Tweets 'Expand The Court'. Moments after Amy Coney Barrett was officially

AOC
returns to her tiresome and hypocritical victimhood stunt. New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is an
impressive woman. After all, she went from working nights as a bartender to representing Queens and the Bronx in
Congress. The Democratic congresswoman's personal embodiment of the American dream makes her victimhood schtick, which
was on display again this week, all the more tiresome. After she was referred to as "AOC" during Thursday evening's
[10/22/2020] presidential debate, the name she uses regularly and has as her Twitter handle, Ocasio-Cortez tweeted out her
offense. "I wonder if Republicans understand how much they advertise their disrespect of women in debates when they
consistently call women members of Congress by nicknames or first names while using titles & last names when referring to men
of = stature," she wrote. "Women notice. It conveys a lot."
The Editor says...
AOC is AOC's brand. It's almost a trademark. (Who knows — maybe it is a trademark.) If she was mentioned
at all in a presidential debate on nation-wide TV, she should be delighted. U.S. Presidents are often referred to by
their initials, especially in newspaper headlines. It's a term of endearment. (The exception is Barack H. Obama,
who cannot be called BHO because that would call attention to his middle name, which we are not supposed to utter,
because islamophobia.
AOC
Believes the Green New Deal Would Have Saved Americans From the Coronavirus. Progressive darling Congresswoman
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Friday said she believes the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic wouldn't have been as bad as it
has been if her vision of a Green New Deal was implemented in the United States. The comment was made during a Zoom
call with actress and climate change activist Jane Fonda. "Do you think that had there been a Green New Deal in place
in January 2020, COVID-19 would have been much easier to contain and our health care system would have been much more
resilient?" Fonda asked AOC. "I absolutely think so, for a lot of reasons," the freshman congresswoman replied.
"For one, if we had passed a Green New Deal by January of this year, that would mean that we had a political establishment
that respects science, that is willing to mobilize and make major investments to protect the American people and, frankly,
our global population."
Comrade
Ocasio-Cortez has big plans for your dinner plate. Listen up, worker ants, People's Commissar Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez is once again, more than a little interested in what's on your dinner plate. [Video clip] She

fresh basil at the local bodegas for a gazpacho recipe she was making at home. [...] As if inner city people in the Bronx
will gladly pay six bucks a bunch for fully organic, unplastic-wrapped, sustainably produced fresh basil, same as she
would. Yes, some do. But unlike her, they plan their shopping ahead in Manhattan and they shell out, same as the
rich people do.
AOC Partied With Alleged Chinese
Communist Party Spy. The photo, posted to Ocasio-Cortez's Instagram, shows the Congresswoman in between the
alleged spy and a woman with a child. Angwang is wearing his New York Police Department uniform. The resurfaced
photo also comes as Ocasio-Cortez has been campaigning for months to defund the police, notoriously stating "defunding the
police means defunding the police." Angwang, accused of spying on New York-based Tibetans, can be seen in a room full of
his potential targets.
AOC calls on Cuomo,
de Blasio to raise NY taxes: report. New York Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is urging Empire
State lawmakers to raise taxes, despite opposition from Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Ocasio-Cortez called on Cuomo and New
York City Mayor Bill de Blasio to increase rates as the state battles a massive coronavirus-induced multi-billion-dollar
budget hole. "I'm calling on Mayor de Blasio and Gov. Cuomo to raise revenue to fund universal child-care
programs, significantly increase staffing at schools and fund the infrastructure improvements, including ventilation, that
our school buildings need to be safe," Ocasio-Cortez said in a statement obtained by The New York Post on Wednesday
[9/23/2020]. A spokesperson for Ocasio-Cortez did not immediately return FOX Business' request for comment.

de Blasio and Governor [Andrew] Cuomo to raise revenue to fund universal child-care programs, significantly increase staffing
at schools, and fund the infrastructure improvements, including ventilation, that our school buildings need to be safe,"
Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said in a statement Wednesday [9/23/2020]. The Bronx Democrat said her tax hike call comes after
hearing complaints from parents and teachers in her district that schools are not ready to reopen because of COVID-19 safety
issues. "It's clear that there's significant evidence to suggest that schools are not safe to re-open," she said.
The Editor says...
If you're waiting for New York City schools to be absolutely safe, or even reasonably safe, you've got a long wait ahead,
and not because of any virus.
House
passes short-term spending bill to avoid government shutdown. The House approved late Tuesday night, in a 359-57-1 vote, a
stopgap bill to avoid a government shutdown at the end of the month. Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez did not vote yes or
no, but "present." House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced earlier Tuesday [9/22/2020] that Democrats had reached a deal with Treasury
Secretary Steven Mnuchin to avert a government shutdown and fund the government with a continuing resolution through Dec. 11.
The Editor says...
AOC has figured out how to get easy press coverage: Just vote "present," like Barack H. Obama used to do, and the
news media will point out the lone exception. In doing so, she isn't representing her constituents, but as long as
the newspapers spell her name correctly, she doesn't seem to care.
Joe Biden's AOC Problem.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez struck a dissonant note in an otherwise well-orchestrated second night of the Democratic National
Convention. The freshman congresswoman's highly anticipated speech was devoted to seconding Bernie Sanders's
nomination. Where much of the programming celebrated the geographic and population diversity of America, Ocasio-Cortez
impugned American society for its supposed misogyny, racism, and colonization. She said it was Sanders, not his rivals,
who could lead the country out of its overlapping social, economic, and health crises. Unlike Sanders, however,
Ocasio-Cortez said hardly a word about the actual Democratic nominee. On Monday, Sanders urged his movement to back
Biden in November. On Tuesday [8/18/2020], we learned why he felt it was necessary to be so emphatic. The reason
is voters like Ocasio-Cortez.
AOC
nominates Bernie Sanders and snubs Joe Biden in DNC address. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez only got a
minute to speak at the Democratic National Convention Tuesday night but she made it count as a warning that Joe Biden should
not ignore the party's far-left wing, nominating socialist Bernie Sanders and making no mention of the presumptive Democratic
presidential nominee. "I hereby second the nomination for Sen. Bernard Sanders of Vermont for president of the
United States of America," the New York Democratic socialist said at the end of her 60-second address. In her socialist
rhetoric-heavy address, she spoke about Sanders' movement to "repair the wounds of racial injustice, colonization, misogyny
and homophobia" and not once addressed Biden, 77, who will be crowned the party's nominee.
AOC
triggered by NYPD union's Trump endorsement: 'Lethal weapons' apparently make it inappropriate.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez let it be known that a police union's endorsement of President Donald Trump is simply not
acceptable. The New York Democrat suggested there is a "potential problem" with unions representing the "enforcement
arms of the state" now endorsing the president's reelection bid. Ocasio-Cortez slammed the historic decision by the New
York City Police Benevolent Association to back Trump in a tweet on Friday.
AOC
given just 60 seconds to deliver pre-recorded message at DNC. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will be given
just 60 seconds to deliver a pre-recorded message at the Democratic National Convention next week. The party's
progressive firebrand has been afforded the limited role while Democrats like Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and former
Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana, will get to deliver live, virtual speeches at the coronavirus-revamped event,
Business Insider reported Wednesday [8/13/2020]. The four-day online convention, titled "Uniting America," will feature
different themes and speakers each day during two-hour broadcasts beginning at 9 p.m. ET.
Trump
predicts AOC will successfully challenge Sen. Chuck Schumer. President Trump on Thursday predicted that
far-left Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez would mount a challenge against Sen. Chuck Schumer — and defeat
him. "Schumer's going to get beaten by her. She's going to run against Schumer, and he knows that and he's going
to get beaten by her unless you can talk her out of doing it. He has no chance," Trump said on "Fox News Business."
"Chuck Schumer will be, in my opinion. AOC will run against Chuck Schumer for the Senate. Yeah, I mean, I
think. And I think she'll win," the president said.
AOC
may be denied speaking slot at Democratic National Convention. New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez may
be denied a speaking slot at the Democratic National Convention this month, according to a report. Although the
30-year-old Democratic socialist is one of the most recognizable new leaders in the party, centrists are opposed to giving
her time to speak. "I think [Vermont Sen.] Bernie [Sanders] and [Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth] Warren will speak,
and they'll represent the progressive wing of the party very ably," former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell told
Politico. Rendell, a longtime friend of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, said it would be unfair
to highlight Ocasio-Cortez, who took office last year after a shocking primary win.
AOC
Steps In It Big Time, Slandering A True American Hero as a Symbol of 'White Supremacy'. One of the things that
has been very evident from the effort by the radical left to spread chaos in the country is that many on the left are
painfully ignorant of U.S. history and government. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) is perhaps a great example
of this basic ignorance. [...] But imagine a member of Congress like AOC who doesn't seem to understand basic concepts of
government or the Constitution? [...] Everything for her is about pushing the evil stunted United States that needs to be
saved and "woke" by her and similar enlightened Guard. But, in a truly ignorant rant, she really went after the wrong
target, a statue of Fr. Damien of Molokai in the Capitol which she termed an example of "white supremacy."
What's
really vulgar is AOC's fake outrage. America is suffering through a pandemic, riots, a violent crime wave, a
recession and record unemployment, but Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Queens-Bronx) wasted an hour of the nation's
time on feigned outrage in Congress over an alleged insult she didn't even hear. Rep. Ted Yoho (R-Fla.) denies
calling her a [nasty name], a claim for which she offers no evidence, apart from the hearsay of a reporter from The Hill
who claimed, in any case, that Yoho did not direct those words to AOC. The reporter, Mike Lillis, wrote that Yoho
uttered those words as "a parting thought to no one in particular," and out of earshot of AOC.
'It's
time to tax the rich': AOC calls on Cuomo to tax N.Y. billionaires to help the needy. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez wants Gov. Cuomo to get in touch with his inner Robin Hood. The progressive congresswoman called on
Cuomo Thursday [7/16/2020] to get onboard with a soak-the-rich tax plan that would siphon wealth from the state's
billionaires and redistribute it to working-class New Yorkers suffering from coronavirus-related economic hardships.

Culture is a Mighty Tool of Fascism's Advance. Those of us of a certain age remember those grainy,
black-and-white films we were shown in school of a spreading ink stain or the tentacles of a giant octopus that represented
Communism spreading over Europe and heading our way. Today the advancing fascist, totalitarian state that is coming for
us might well be represented as a gigantic Pac-Man figure scurrying around within eating any idea or thought or expression
that deviates from or opposes leftism: [...] It is led by truly ignorant people who, literally, don't know what they are
talking about. The prime example of which is Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), a cum laude
graduate of Boston University majoring in international relations and economics: [...] AOC is but one of the geniuses urging
a boycott of Goya Foods because its CEO, Robert Unanue, dared to praise President Trump.
Ocasio-Cortez:
NYC Crime Surge 'Maybe' Due To People Being 'Scared To Pay Their Rent,' Don't Have Jobs. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) claimed on Sunday that the surge in crime in New York City is happening because people are "scared to
pay their rent" and because of high unemployment numbers due to the pandemic. Ocasio-Cortez made the remarks and other
misleading statements during a Zoom video call that was posted to Twitter by The Hill. Ocasio-Cortez claimed without
evidence that the recent $1 billion budgetary cut by the New York City Police Department wasn't "really real." [...]
Ocasio-Cortez's suggestion that the increase in crime is simply people stealing bread to try to feed their families ignores
the widespread looting of luxury stores that happened in the city during the recent riots. It also ignores the fact
that New York City Democrat Mayor Bill de Blasio resisted calls from top Democrats and Republicans to deploy the National
Guard to restore order and stop the violence and looting.
AOC
attributes NYC's 'uptick in crime' to people stealing bread to feed their kids. Democrat Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez was lampooned for suggesting that the recent 130% spike in deadly NYC shootings was due to coronavirus-induced
unemployment — and not on her and other Black Lives Matter operatives' reckless campaign to "Defund the
Police." AOC (aka "Bronx Bolshevik") made the disingenuous comments to deflect blame for the mass slaughters of black
people occurring in Democrat-run cities around the country. In a virtual town hall meeting on Zoom, AOC desperately
tried to shift the blame for the alarming surge in shootings and murders in Democrat-run cities where police have been
pulled back.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez and other leftists gaslight America about the sudden crime surge. Socialist Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez is out explaining things again, obviously taking Americans for fools: [...] She's got her Hugo Chávez on,
nattering on and on in some cloud cuckoo land derived from 19th-century socialism, as if to "re-educate" her audience that
the new crime wave engulfing New York and America's big blue cities is all a problem in their heads, merely an issue of
desperate people trying to steal loaves of bread, instead of a monstrous descent of one of America's great cities into its
pre-Giuliani-era Fort Apache and "Shattered" era. Call it the great gaslight, a phenomenon where you're living
something but not supposed to believe the evidence of your own eyes. We're now seeing it in spades from the left as the
crime wave mounts.

in NYPD cuts not enough for AOC: 'Defunding police means defunding police'. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
said Tuesday [6/30/2020] the proposed $1.5 billion NYPD budget slash didn't go far enough. "Defunding police means
defunding police. It does not mean budget tricks or funny math. It does not mean moving school police officers from
the NYPD budget to the Department of Education's budget so the exact same police remain in schools," the self-described
Democratic Socialist said in a press release about the budget deal between the City Council and Mayor de Blasio. "It
does not mean counting cuts in overtime as cuts, even as NYPD ignores every attempt by City Council to curb overtime spending
and overspends on overtime anyways. The fight to defund policing continues," she said.
Ocasio-Cortez:
'Latinos are black... we run an entire racial spectrum'. Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
argued Monday that some Latino people are black during an interview about how the pandemic is impacting the Latino
community. "I always say Latinos are black. We are Afro-Latina and we — we run an entire racial
spectrum," she said during an interview on Telemundo. Ocasio-Cortez, a progressive Democrat, is running for re-election
after beating former New York Rep. Joe Crowley in 2018.

Ocasio-Cortez, Who Once Claimed Jewish Ancestry, Now Says She's 'Black'. "What do you think the Latinx
community should do to stop racism among them and among other races?" AOC was asked. Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez, who

Black Lives Matter, what about Latinos?' and I always say, Latinos are black!"
AOC Spent $6.3M to
Defeat Primary Challenger. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, for all her strident rhetoric about the malignant
influence of money in politics, won Tuesday's Democratic primary in New York's 14th District the old-fashioned
way — she drowned her opponents beneath a tsunami of campaign cash. According to the Federal Election
Commission (FEC), Ocasio-Cortez spent about $6.3 million of $10.5 million raised, more than any other Democrat
up for reelection in 2020.
The
Delusional Premises of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Welcome to yet another example of the nexus between climate
change alarmism and a socialist redistribution agenda fueled by racial resentment. That may be old news to those of us
paying attention, but thanks to birdbrained stooges like U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) the blatant
race-baiting rhetoric is being turned up a notch. And why not? If you're a socialist, or a globalist, there is
only upside to tagging nations of European heritage with guilt for the problems facing their "communities of color," or the
problems in the rest of the non-European world. It would be far too painful to consider the alternative explanation,
which is that socialism, in all of its antecedents and derivatives, is the primary cause of the societal afflictions that
plague "people of color" both in America and abroad.
AOC
owes $2,000 in unpaid taxes from failed business venture. US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wants to raise
taxes on the rich — just not pay her own. The Democratic socialist congresswoman from The Bronx still hasn't
paid a 7-year-old tax bill leftover from a failed business venture. AOC had founded Brook Avenue Press, a publishing
house that sought designers, artists and writers from urban areas to help paint The Bronx in a positive way in children's
stories, in 2012. As the [New York] Post previously reported, public records show the state dissolved the company in
October 2016. The state can make such a move when a business fails to pay corporate taxes or file a return.
Why
fellow New York Democrats are avoiding AOC as they plan coronavirus relief. New York's elected officials are
avoiding spotlight-loving firebrand Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez like, well, the plague, opting to craft their
coronavirus response efforts without the lefty lawmaker, insiders tell The [New York] Post. Sources gave multiple
explanations for why the Queens-Bronx Democrat has been largely relegated to the sidelines — and her "Animal
Crossing" island — rather than in the fray. "They are not looking to work with her and they want nothing to
do with her," said one source plugged into Empire State politics, explaining that other pols feared she would outshine them
or try to take credit for their work.
The end of Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez's revolution. Ocasio-Cortez's primary against former CNBC anchor Michelle Caruso-Cabrera hasn't
drawn a lot of attention, but it's worth watching closely. The congresswoman's district, which spans Queens and the
Bronx, has been one of the hardest-hit areas in the country from the pandemic. But Ocasio-Cortez was the only House
Democrat to vote against the coronavirus-relief bill, a lonely and unpopular position on Capitol Hill. She told The New
York Times that, after the vote, she felt more alienated in Congress than ever before and was facing a personal existential
crisis. Those personal feelings are undoubtedly authentic, but by making the crisis about herself, it offers a tempting
opportunity for Caruso-Cabrera to portray her as someone driven more by ego than the needs of her constituents.
Caruso-Cabrera is no novice: The granddaughter of Cuban and Italian immigrants, she served as the chief international
correspondent for CNBC for nearly a decade.
How
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez & The Squad Are Strategizing To Cancel Rent Payments. Freshman Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez has been holding Congress' feet to the fire for a lack of depth in economic relief bills that should protect
working people. Ocasio-Cortez has repeatedly brought attention to the fact that many people will not be able to make
their rent or mortgage payments at the end of April, especially with more than 30.3 million people currently filing for
unemployment benefits as a result of losing work due to the global pandemic. With tenants and housing rights advocates
organizing across the country for state and local rent strikes, Ocasio-Cortez has called for state and federal rent
cancellations during the pandemic.
Fact
Check: AOC's Baseless Accusation That the U.S. Is a 'Brutal, Barbarian Society'. According to democratic
socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the COVID-19 pandemic is proving that the United States "is a brutal, barbarian
society for the vast majority of working-class Americans." As evidence of this, she claims that "40% of us couldn't even
afford a $400 emergency" before this crisis, and COVID-19 "is more than a $400 emergency." However, her "40%-$400"
statistic is false, and the facts that broadly inform this issue reveal that: • government social
programs, which AOC seeks to enlarge, depress workers' savings, causing the very outcomes that she decries. •
the people of the U.S. lead the world in charity. • middle- and low-income Americans are more
financially capable of handling COVID-19 than the bulk of people in most developed countries, including those who live in
more socialistic nations that AOC says the U.S. should emulate.
Ocasio-Cortez
Only House Democrat To Vote Against Funding To Help Americans. Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
(D-NY) was the only House Democrat to oppose funding to help Americans who are struggling from the coronavirus pandemic,

earlier in the week when she learned that the oil industry was being ravaged by the pandemic.
Sarah
Sanders to AOC: Unlike Members Of Congress, American Workers Have To Show Up To Get Paid. During an appearance
on "Fox & Friends" Thursday [4/23/2020], Former White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders sounded off on Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez, who suggested that American workers orchestrate a national boycott when the economy reopens after the
coronavirus, saying she needs to look back to where she came from and remember that she still gets paid as a member of
Congress regardless of whether she's doing her job.
Brilliant! AOC suggests low-income
Americans should boycott work after coronavirus shutdown ends. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.,
argued Wednesday that many Americans should protest economic insecurity by refusing to work after coronavirus-related
restrictions are lifted. "When we talk about this idea of reopening society, you know, only in America does the
president — when the president tweets about liberation — does he mean go back to work. When we
have this discussion about going back or reopening, I think a lot people should just say 'no' — we're not going
back to that," she said. "We're not going back to working 70-hour weeks just so that we could put food on the table and
not even feel any sort of semblance of security in our lives."
The Editor says...
I think AOC should refuse to work. She should boycott the Congress and abstain from voting. Lead by example.
AOC
deletes tweet celebrating oil price crash after she is criticized for making light of job losses. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez was forced to delete a tweet Monday saying 'you absolutely love to see it' while celebrating the price of oil
crashing. The Democrat quickly removed the post after being criticized for celebrating job losses, but still used the
economic collapse to plug her Green New Deal, which focuses on environmental issues. The price of U.S. oil crashed into
negative for the first time in history Monday as demand dries up and producers effectively pay buyers to take barrels off
their hands.
A
Science Project in Celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day. I challenge far left politician such as
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Joe Biden, Al Gore, Bernie Sanders, Nancy Pelosi, Charles Schumer, all Democrats, journalists,
entertainers, professors and scientists to look at the scientific data from the last 140 years and show any correlation
between temperature and the other variables which are blamed for climate change. (There is none). For some reason
the incurious media will never ask questions to justify the Democrats radical policies. I would also challenge everyone
to look at the dire predictions from the last 100 years and find any that are true. I can't find any.
AOC
Now 'In Talks' With Joe Biden and I Think I Know Why. [Scroll down] I actually think there's more to it
and that AOC managed to find the one pressure point Biden is most afraid of. Namely, the sexual assault allegation
which continues to be an issue despite the media's best attempts to bury it. What did AOC say about that just
yesterday? AOC makes this comment and then poof, just like that, Biden calls her up and they are in talks for an
endorsement. It's almost as if the #metoo movement has been turned into a complete joke, able to be covered up at will
via political agreements.
AOC
says she is 'having conversations with Biden's team' over policy. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's staff
has been in talks with presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's team over the past few days, she admitted in a
new interview. Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) revealed in an interview with Politico Wednesday that her aides were "having
conversations with Biden's team" in order to "figure out what some of these policy conversations will [be] looking like" as
the general election takes shape. The comments come two days after she took part in an interview with the New York
Times in which she said she had not yet heard from the Biden campaign since Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) dropped out of
the race.
AOC
and Schumer blasted for 'photo op' in top coronavirus ZIP code. Critics are blasting Sen. Chuck Schumer
and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for staging a "photo op" Tuesday in the US ZIP code hardest hit by the
coronavirus. A small group gathered in the virally blighted neighborhood of Corona, Queens, in AOC's district, to hear
a pitch for the Federal Emergency Management Agency to offer funeral assistance. The gathering — convened as
officials order ordinary New Yorkers to stay home — gave TV networks an opportunity to shoot footage of the duo,
but there was no live feed to allow the event to be covered from afar, let alone a virtual press conference as most public
officials have turned to in a bid to reduce exposures.

hit with crushing blow as opponent Michelle Caruso-Cabrera raises $1 million to unseat her. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez's (D-NY) days in Congress may be numbered, as it has just been revealed that her opponent Michelle Caruso-Cabrera
has raised $1 million to beat her in the Democratic primary on June 23. Caruso-Cabrera, a former anchor for CNBC,
is set to report having $800,000 in cash on hand (minus expenses paid) when she files her financial disclosures with the Federal
Elections Commission, according to the New York Post.
AOC
wants coronavirus reparations for minorities: 'Inequality is a comorbidity'. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez declared
Friday [4/3/2020] that inequality is a preexisting health condition and that minority and low-income communities should receive
coronavirus relief in the form of reparations. "COVID deaths are disproportionately spiking in Black + Brown communities," the
New York democratic socialist tweeted to her 6.6 million followers. "Why? Because the chronic toll of redlining,
environmental racism, wealth gap, etc. ARE underlying health conditions. "Inequality is a comorbidity," she wrote.
"COVID relief should be drafted with a lens of reparations."
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez Upset Cash Relief Does Not Extend to Non-citizens. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)
expressed outrage on Thursday that the cash payment portion of the economic relief package, which the Senate unanimously
passed Wednesday night, does not extend to noncitizens. The Senate unanimously approved of the historic coronavirus
emergency relief measure on Wednesday evening after days of partisan battles. As many Republican leaders have stated,
the passed bill remains virtually the same as the original bill Democrats rejected on Sunday. It provides aid for small
businesses, creates a lending aid program, and delivers cash assistance directly into the pockets of American citizens.

Jake Tapper Admits He Allowed Ocasio-Cortez to Lie About Trump. CNN's Jake Tapper is admitting he knew

the American president stop communicating directly with the American people.

'anti-AOC' candidate rattles Dems: 'They can't fathom that a young Latina could be a Republican'. A young
Republican candidate billed as the "anti-AOC" called out the mainstream media that "carries water" for House Democrats and
"can't fathom" how she could be a Trump supporter. Catalina Lauf, who launched her campaign for office in Illinois'
14th District last year, spoke with Fox News' "Media Angle" about her plan to help modernize the face of the GOP while
providing a strong voice against the progressive left.
Derp:
AOC Advises People to Eat at Home Just Days After Calling People 'Racists' for Eating at Home. Earlier this
week, I wrote about how Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) conducted an Instagram Live chat on Tuesday night in which
she accused people who were avoiding Chinese restaurants during the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak of "straight-up racism." To
recap, here's what she said in full: "Honestly, it sounds almost so silly to say, but there's a lot of restaurants that
are feeling the pain of racism, where people are literally not patroning Chinese restaurants, they're not patroning Asian
restaurants because of just straight-up racism around the coronavirus." [...] But fast forward a few days and we see that
Ocasio-Cortez is singing a different tune. Now it's ok to "eat your meals at home" and engage in social distancing
because she says so.
AOC, SCIENCE WHIZ.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez decided to match wits with Ted Cruz, which is about like me challenging Tyson Fury to duke it
out. Along the way, Ocasio-Cortez claimed that she "hold[s] awards from MIT Lincoln Lab and others for accomplishments
in microbiology." Wow, sounds impressive, right? [...] It turns out that her "accomplishment in microbiology" consists of a
second-place finish in a high school science fair.
Conservatives
Mock Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez For Citing HS Science Fair Among Her Credentials. Conservatives mocked Democratic
New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez after she cited her high school science fair in a Twitter spat with Texas
Republican Sen. Ted Cruz. Ocasio-Cortez kicked off the exchange by criticizing President Donald Trump's decision
to name Vice President Mike Pence as the head of the Coronavirus task force, saying that he did not believe in science.
Cruz quickly responded by asking the freshman congresswoman a series of scientific questions that were at odds with her
ideology — including a query about Y chromosomes.
Ted
Cruz Asked Ocasio-Cortez, 'What's A Y Chromosome?' She Went Ballistic. Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz
sparred with New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over several unanswered science questions. The spat
began Thursday when Ocasio-Cortez criticized President Donald Trump for putting Vice President Mike Pence in charge of the
task force responding to Coronavirus. Cruz responded by asking Ocasio-Cortez, "As you are speaking as the oracle of
science, tell us, what exactly is a Y chromosome?" Ocasio-Cortez fired back, insulting Cruz and touting her own
scientific prowess and resume.
A
Bernie Sanders nomination is Nancy Pelosi's nightmare. As Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez came to define the
new class of Democrats, Pelosi repeatedly sought to downplay the freshman's influence, explaining that the 2018 campaign was
won by dozens of more moderate Democrats running in swing districts on a more incremental approach to policy. "All
these people have their public whatever and their Twitter world," she told the New York Times last July. "But
they didn't have any following. They're four people and that's how many votes they got." An irate Ocasio-Cortez would
subsequently accuse the first female speaker of the House of being both racist and sexist. But now, Ocasio-Cortez may
be having the last laugh. Not only has Sanders emerged as the front-runner for the Democratic nomination, but the young
Bronx socialist can claim part of the credit. Last October, when many were writing off Sanders in the wake of his heart
attack, she endorsed him along with squadmates Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. That was one factor that
helped revive Sanders and added fuel to his comeback.
AOC's
Fellow Democrats likely to Eliminate Her House Seat. New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez joined the
U.S. House of Representatives with guns blazing. Wasting no time at all, she proved to her colleagues that she walks to
the beat of her own drum and has no intention of following any form of a protocol or traditional manners in the House.
AOC's extreme progressive policies and anti-American sentiments have created a divide amongst her own party, even with the
head honcho herself, Nancy Pelosi.
The
AOC Tapes: Dem darling trashes Hillary Clinton for failed presidential campaign. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez offered a brutal assessment of Hillary Clinton's failed 2016 campaign for president, saying excuses such as
"misogyny" among the electorate were "stupid" and placed the blame for her historic defeat on Clinton alone. "I'm not
trying to be difficult. I'm not trying to be down. But she didn't try hard enough in Michigan," AOC said during a
2016 Facebook live video taken while traveling through the midwest with friends. "She didn't make a single ... visit to
the United Auto Workers before the general election. And then ... they're like upset that that union workers didn't
organize for her."
AOC's
'big announcement' [is] eerily similar to [the] Justice Democrats entity that put her in office. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez, the socialist Democrat from New York, promised on Thursday that a "big announcement" was coming on Friday [2/21/2020],
and the announcement appears to be the launching of a new PAC to build a progressive majority in Congress. The term "progressive"
having become code for socialism from hard-left zealots like AOC. Ocasio-Cortez announced an initial list of endorsements for
The Courage to Change PAC on Twitter, and according to the list, it appears that white males need not apply.
Trouble in the
Workers' Paradise. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is precisely the sort of campaign surrogate you
want, especially if you are Bernie Sanders: She is young, energetic, charismatic, popular (with the people she needs to
be popular with, anyway), and, happily, currently ineligible to run for the presidency herself. Representative
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is precisely the sort of campaign surrogate you don't want, especially if you are Bernie
Sanders: She is callow, flippant, vain, shallow, and prone to making policy pronouncements that are even battier than
your own, and she forgets to mention you at all in the course of making appearances that are in theory on your behalf.
AOC:
Billionaires Should Not Exist Because They Get Rich By Underpaying Their Employees. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) stated during her Wednesday interview on "The View" the billionaires behind companies like Walmart and
Amazon should not exist because they underpay their employees. Co-host Meghan McCain asked Ocasio-Cortez how she felt
about the presence of billionaires Tom Steyer and Michael Bloomberg in the Democratic race for president. Both Steyer
and Bloomberg have spent vast amounts of personal wealth on their campaigns, with Bloomberg topping the spending chart.
The
Rise of Democratic Idiocracy. Freshman representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is clearly the thought leader of
the current Democratic Party. Her almost daily pronouncements are laughably detached from any semblance of reality ("We
only have 12 years left to correct Global Warming! This is our World War Two!"), yet her philosophies and utterances
somehow serve as the guideposts for all the 2020 Democratic Presidential candidates. She spouts all the usual
clichés: capitalism is bad, America is evil and deeply flawed, only the wealthy are doing well, etc., but the
Democratic candidates parrot every single one of them. They may put their own individual twists on them in order to
distinguish themselves from one another, but the overriding "America is unfair, it's racist, and a Republican-run America
will ruin the world's future with its greed unless we stop it" theme is common to all the contenders.
Ocasio-Cortez
Guests on RuPaul Show: 'I Pledge Allegiance to the Drag'. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) will serve
as a guest judge on the reality TV show RuPaul's Drag Race, according to a trailer published Thursday [2/13/2020]. The
drag queen contest series, which comes back to VH1 this month, carries a semi-political theme this year and features several
political puns. Ru Paul will preside over the "Ru-nited States of America," the video ad says. In the video,
RuPaul also announces that "the time has come for the first drag queen president."
Report:
Bernie Sanders Campaign Fears Ocasio-Cortez's Rhetoric Will Alienate Voters in Rust Belt States.
Sen. Bernie Sanders' (I-VT) campaign is reportedly unhappy with the stump speech Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
(D-NY) delivered in Sanders' absence on the campaign trail during the Senate impeachment trial and fears her strong rhetoric
could alienate voters in Trump-won battleground states like Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, according to a report from
Vanity Fair. Ocasio-Cortez went on the campaign trail for her candidate in Iowa during the Senate impeachment
trial, which kept Sanders locked down in the nation's capital, compromising his ability to campaign in the Hawkeye State
ahead of its caucuses.
AOC
to guest-judge on 'RuPaul's Drag Race'. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has a queen new deal. The 30-year-old freshman
congresswoman from The Bronx has signed on as a guest judge for Season 12 of "RuPaul's Drag Race," which will have a two-part
premiere on Feb. 28 and March 6 on VH1. The series, which pits 13 cross-dressing contestants against each other in
the search of "America's Next Drag Superstar," has already taken on a red, white and blue political hue for the new season, which
coincides with the 2020 presidential election.
AOC
can't stop exposing her own ignorance. Ocasio-Cortez's latest economic blunder really embarrassed Boston
University, the school where she apparently received a bachelor's degree in economics. You certainly wouldn't know it
from her total lack of understanding of global poverty, economic development, trade, or her inability to do basic math when
it comes to her socialist proposals. But if there was any doubt that Ocasio-Cortez deserves a refund from BU, it's now
been removed by her hilarious, yet sad, misstep this weekend, wherein she cited the "famed economist Milton Keynes."
Milton Keynes is the name of a British town north of London. Not an economist. Ocasio-Cortez clearly mixed up
"John Maynard Keynes" and "Milton Friedman" — quite ideologically and economically distinct scholars.
AOC to Blacks: Get Back
on the Plantation. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez cannot stand it. She wants blacks back on that
liberal plantation — now. [...] In describing Rush [Limbaugh] as a "virulent racist," AOC is flaunting the typical
left-wing insistence that all blacks must remain on the left-wing ideological plantation. AOC is exactly the picture of
the determined skin-color police who have taken unto themselves the right to dictate what African Americans can —
and cannot — believe. And in the case of Rush, who lampoons liberals of every skin color with decided
equality, Ocasio-Cortez, who is not black, cannot accept that blacks are her equal. Instead, she condescends to African
Americans who, along with liberals of every skin color, are targets for Rush's pointed humor.
AOC:
Figures of Speech are Not her Friends. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is not a stupid woman, despite all appearances
to the contrary. She is a brilliant propagandist, for example, one of the most effective our country has seen in recent
decades. She understands the importance of optics, for the most part, and she understands her core audience and how
utterly malleable it is. So, she is not unintelligent, and is certainly a clever manipulator. But what so often
gets her into trouble and gives her an image of stupidity is her magnificent, uncorrupted level of abject ignorance.
Despite having somehow obtained a degree in economics from an accredited university, AOC is one of the most uneducated people
ever to be elected to the United States Congress.
AOC:
Democratic Party is 'Not a Left Party,' It's a 'Center-Conservative' Party. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
(D-NY) claimed the Democratic Party is a "center or center-conservative party," and "not a left party," during a discussion
at MLK Now 2020, Monday, to commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. Day. "I wanted to go back to what you said about
our 'left party'.&Nbsp; We don't have a left party in the United States," declared Ocasio-Cortez. "The Democratic Party
is not a left party. The Democratic Party is a center or center-conservative party.
The Editor says...
The current Democratic Party candidates are in a race to the political left, actively competing to see who can be the most extreme.
The Abortion Party is as extreme as it can be in its relentless promotion of infanticide.
The Democrats have created a welfare system that punishes fatherhood and encourages perpetual dependence on Big Government.
The Democrats are soft on crime, cozy with the theocratic Muslims, and proud of opening doors for transvestites.
The Democrats have made it abundantly clear that they don't want you to have firearms.
(No communist dictator anywhere in the world would want you to have firearms.)
If you are forced to bake a wedding cake for a same-sex marriage, it's because of the Democrats.
If you go into a public restroom and find a transvestite in there, it's because of the Democrats.
If you go to a restaurant and they won't give you a plastic straw, it's because of the Democrats.
If you drive downtown and see homeless bums defecating in the streets, it's because of the Democrats.
If you have kids in high school who can't add two numbers without a calculator, it's because of the Democrats.
If one of your school kids comes home and tries to tell you there are 63 genders, it's because of the Democrats.
If you go to a movie theater and you are bombarded with nudity, blasphemy, and profanity, it's because of the Democrats.
If some teenager gets snooty with you because you didn't use his or her "preferred pronouns," it's because of the Democrats.
If you go to the polls and leave there unsure if you vote will be counted, it's because of the Democrats.
If you're afraid to tell a stranger that you voted for President Trump, it's because of the Democrats.
If you hear the TV news people screaming about a "climate emergency," when you know there's nothing abnormal about the weather, it's because of the Democrats.
The Democratic Party platform is replete with socialism, thanks to people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and if
Bernie Sanders is the party's presidential nominee, there will be large chunks of outright communism mixed in as well.
There is nothing conservative or moderate or centrist about the Socialist Democratic Party.
Fact-checking
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Claim: "Rush Limbaugh is a virulent
racist..." Fact-checker rating: Pants-on-fire. One has to look no farther than the control booth of the
extraordinarily successful Rush Limbaugh radio show to learn that the infamous producer and call screener "Bo Snerdley" is in
reality a black man named James Golden. [...] Rush Limbaugh is neither a racist nor misogynist. He is hated and reviled
by liberals such as Ocasio-Cortez because he is an unapologetic conservative voice so desperately needed at this moment in
American history. Any listener of his show can attest to the fact that Rush has frequently praised Justice Clarence
Thomas on the Supreme Court, and if memory serves correctly, Justice Thomas is black. While Limbaugh is unafraid to
criticize, mock, and parody race-baiting hustlers like Jesse Jackson, Maxine Waters, Louis Farrakhan, or Al Sharpton, he
often speaks of economist Thomas Sowell in almost reverential tones, and professor Walter Williams has also served on
multiple occasions as a guest host on Limbaugh's radio show. I wouldn't even know the name of Dr. Williams if it
hadn't been for Rush Limbaugh.
AOC
warns Dems it's a "dangerous" mistake to stand in Bernie's way. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the
Democratic Socialist (communist) icon, who is currently Sen. Bernie Sanders' most powerful campaigner, warns that
Democrats will be making a "dangerous" mistake — and hurt their odds of beating Donald Trump in a general
election — if they do not rally around the eventual Democratic nominee. Her comments, made in a phone
interview with TIME Magazine, come on the eve of the first-in-the-nation caucuses in Iowa, amidst reports of Democratic
efforts to block Sanders.
Tom
Homan Berates AOC After She Smears ICE and CBP at Sanders' Rally. Former Acting Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) Director and current Fox News contributor Tom Homan and AOC have clashed numerous times in the past.
Standing in for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) at an Ames, Iowa rally on Saturday, AOC told his supporters that they must organize
to "tip-off" illegal immigrants if ICE or CBP agents are in the area. She also called for both agencies to be abolished.
Alexandria Donkey-Chompers: The Democrat Party

pictures of them — so what? The left routinely waves communist flags at their marches. And chants things like
"No justice, no peace," which is explicitly a threat.
The
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez School of Economics. On Monday, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, (D-N.Y.), sat for
a discussion with author Ta-Nehisi Coates. She dropped a number of shocking statements — statements that
elicited nothing but murmurs of agreement from Coates. AOC claimed: "No one ever makes a billion dollars.
You take a billion dollars." How, pray tell, are American billionaires responsible for such massive theft? According to
AOC, the very mechanisms of capitalism mandate such theft. In her view, successful businesspeople simply exploit their
workers while maximizing their profits. Hypothetically speaking about billionaires making widgets, she said: "You
didn't make those widgets! You sat on a couch while thousands of people were paid modern-day slave wages and, in some
cases, real modern-day slavery...You made that money off the backs of undocumented people." This, of course, is
nonsense. Voluntary exchange of labor for wages is, as stated, voluntary, and the fact that there are many
people willing and able to labor in the manufacture of widgets is presumably responsible for lower wages.
Hard
to Believe, but AOC Is Getting Even Dumber. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been flying a bit under the radar in
recent weeks while the Elders of the Democratic village have taken center stage, both in the primary race and the impeachment
drama. There is no doubt that she's been saying plenty of stupid stuff during that time — it's what she
does — but we just haven't been hearing anything about it. On Monday [1/20/2020], the Democrats' Ditz
Supreme made her presence known again the way that she best knows how — via nonsensical word barf.
AOC
Can't Comprehend the Difference Between a Peaceful 2A Rally and Black Lives Matter Riots. Peaceful Second
Amendment supporters headed to Richmond, Virginia for the annual gun rights lobby day. The goal was simple: encourage
Virginia legislators to protect and uphold Virginians' right to keep and bear arms. As it currently stands,
Gov. Ralph Northam (D) has set forth an aggressive anti-gun agenda, which includes banning so-called "assault rifles,"
universal background checks and implementing extreme risk protection orders, commonly referred to as red flag laws.
Progressive darling Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) attempted to compare Monday's [1/20/2020] peaceful protests to the
violent Black Lives Matter riots in Baltimore and New York City. Apparently she failed to see what police had a heavy
presence after the death of Eric Garner in NYC and Freddie Gray in Baltimore.
Really? Does the same hold true for a million dollars, as well as a billion? AOC: 'No
one ever makes a billion dollars. You take a billion dollars'. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,
D-N.Y., said that "no one ever makes a billion dollars. You take a billion dollars" during a Martin Luther King
Jr. Day discussion with author Ta-Nehisi Coates on Monday [1/20/2020]. "No one ever makes a billion
dollars. You take a billion dollars," Ocasio-Cortez said, receiving applause. "I'm not here to villainize and to
say billionaires are inherently morally corrupt. ... It's to say that this system that we live in, life in capitalism always
ends in billionaires." Ocasio-Cortez said billionaires make their money "off the backs" of "undocumented people,"
"black and brown people being paid under a living wage" and "single mothers."
AOC
calls the Democratic Party a 'center-conservative party'. The New York Democrat spoke at a Martin Luther King
Jr. Day event held in Harlem's Riverside Church on Monday [1/20/2020]. While there, the 30-year-old lawmaker claimed
that the United States lacks a "left party" politically. "We don't have a left party in the United States. The Democratic
Party is not a left party," Ocasio-Cortez said. "The Democratic Party is a center or center-conservative party. [...]"
The
War For The Democratic Party Will Destroy Lives And Change Our Country. The far-left of the Democratic Party is
out of the spotlight. Out of the spotlight, but clearly still within the crosshairs of their colleagues. Its
young congressional leaders, Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, and Ilhan Omar, the fresh-faced consciences
of the swamp, are all-three the targets of finance investigations. Two are tangled in credible accusations of
anti-Semitism, and one is mired in a hard-to-believe incestual infidelity scandal with a married man on her payroll.
Their outside support, which so successfully took media credit for gathering hundreds of thousands of liberals who'd booked
non-refundable hotels and plane tickets to Her D.C. inauguration and became the Women's March, has collapsed amid credible
accusations of racism and, you guessed it, anti-Semitism. And the New York/D.C. media that ran glowing profile after
fawning profile months ago don't seem to visit any more.
DCCC
Chair Dodges Multiple Times on Whether Ocasio-Cortez Is Good For the Democratic Caucus. Democratic
Congressional Campaign Committee chairwoman Cheri Bustos (D., Ill.) in a Sunday interview dodged multiple questions as to
whether Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) is good for the Democratic caucus. Asked by CNN anchor Victor
Blackwell if Ocasio-Cortez is "good for the Democratic caucus in the House," Bustos offered that "she has a lot of
followers. I have respect for her. She brings a new voice to Congress." Pressed by Blackwell, Bustos added, "We've
got members from all different spectrums. I respect her, and she brings a new voice. I think that's always welcome."
AOC Hit List Targets
Two Dozen Democrats. Last February, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez threatened House Democrats who dared to work with
Republicans, saying they were "putting themselves on a list" and that she would help challengers unseat them in 2020. At the
time, her more seasoned colleagues assumed such rhetoric would abate once she learned how Congress operates. Rep. Kurt
Schrader (D-Ore.), for example, gave her the benefit of the doubt: "She's new here, feeling her way around. She
doesn't understand how the place works yet." Presumably, Shrader was disabused of this fantasy when he found his name
among the 24 House Democrats who will soon be "primaried" by candidates backed by two Political Action Committees linked to AOC.
AOC Snubs
Fellow Democrat Incumbents by Refusing to Pay Her Party Dues. Fox News reports on Friday [1/10/2020] that
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is not making friends and playing well with others in the Dem House caucus. With
Republicans, it's a natural avocation for the airhead congresswoman and part and parcel of her amazing stupidity, outrageous
ineptitude, and political ideology just to the left of the Khmer Rouge. But you'd think all that stuff would play with
the Dems, right. Well, perhaps ideologically. But actual politics in DC is much less about ideology than it is
about turf and cash. On those notes AOC has decided to go on her own far left path. Specifically, she refuses to
kick campaign cash into the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which is responsible for getting Dems elected to the
House.
'Deadbeat'
AOC rakes in a bundle but doesn't share with House Democrats. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has raked in
oodles of campaign cash, but the Democratic socialist darling has been a real penny-pincher when it comes to spreading the
wealth to the House's Democratic campaign committee — and that's vexing her fellow Dems. The far-left
Bronx-Queens congressional freshman has not given a dime to the Democratic Congressional Committee, controlled by House
leadership, her campaign spokesman Corbin Trent confirmed Friday [1/10/2020]. AOC instead has built her own fundraising
operation to benefit fellow progressive candidates — including members of the self-proclaimed "Squad" —
to bypass the official Democratic Party fundraising operation.
AOC
Complains About Being So Popular She 'Can't Even Go Outside'. New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
complained that she's "one of the most hated people in America," despite the fact her popularity is so immense she "can't go
outside anymore." In a recent interview with New York Magazine, the de facto leader of the Democrat party lamented
the fact that she is despised by the President and other conservatives.
Taxpayer
group cites AOC as 'Porker of the Year' for 2019. A watchdog group named Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on
Tuesday its "Porker of the Year" for 2019, citing her sponsorship of the costly "Green New Deal" proposal. Citizens
Against Government Waste President Tom Schatz said the New York Democrat received 54% in the group's online poll, easily
beating out Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, who garnered 25%, and four other candidates. "The results are
not surprising, as Rep. Ocasio-Cortez's $93 trillion proposal exemplifies the Congress's failure to protect the
taxpayers' hard-earned money," Mr. Schatz said. "For pushing a radical plan that would destroy the American
economy, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez deserves the distinction of 2019 Porker of the Year."
Citizens
Against Government Waste Names Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez 2019 Porker of the Year. Today [1/7/2020],
Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) announced the results of its online poll for the 2019 Porker of the Year.
There were six worthy candidates who were guilty of plugging pricey policies, promoting earmarks and wasteful practices, and
pushing a big-spending agenda. After the votes were tallied, the dishonor went to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
(D-N.Y.), who was named CAGW's March Porker of the Month for introducing the egregiously expensive "Green New Deal."
Rep. Ocasio-Cortez received 54 percent of the vote, more than twice as much as the 25 percent for runner-up
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.). Senator Warren was named CAGW's 2019 May Porker of the Month for proposing "free"
college and a taxpayer-funded bailout of all student loan debt.
AOC
Takes Aim at Party Leadership for Indulging Moderates: 'Democrats Can Be Too Big of a Tent'. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) criticized the Democratic party for its tolerance of relative moderates, saying her own party has
become "too big of a tent" in an interview published Monday [1/6/2020]. "For so long, when I first got in, people were
like, 'Oh, are you going to basically be a tea party of the left?' And what people don't realize is that there is a tea party
of the left, but it's on the right edges, the most conservative parts of the Democratic Party," Ocasio-Cortez told New York
Magazine. "So the Democratic Party has a role to play in this problem, and it's like we're not allowed to talk about it."
The freshman lawmaker also lashed out at party leadership for their intolerance of internal criticism, saying "we're not allowed to
talk about anything wrong the Democratic Party does."
AOC:
'In any other country, Joe Biden and I would not be in the same party'. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said
in an interview published Monday that Democrats nationwide can cultivate "too big of a tent," asserting that she and her
party's 2020 frontrunner, former Vice President Joe Biden, would be in different political parties in any other nation.
Asked for a profile by New York Magazine about what role she might play as a member of Congress should Biden capture the
White House, the freshman House Democrat from New York responded with a groan.
The
Left Goes Over the Edge. The Future of the Progressive Movement is an ex-waitress who is frightened of a
garbage disposal. Almost her first act in office was to cost New York City tens of thousands of jobs by running Amazon
out of town. It was followed by a series of solecisms, idiocies, and contradictions unequalled in the American
political record. If this marks the new progressive politician — human black holes destroying rationality
and coherence by their very existence — then bring 'em on.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez to lose her congressional seat based on all those NYC residents fleeing socialism? Socialist blue
New York is seeing its locals fleeing to other states, and with those kind of losses, someone's congressional seat has got to
go. [...] Socialism the world over drives people to flight. This is as true in New York as it is in Venezuela, China,
Russia, North Korea, and Cuba. And Ocasio-Cortez herself was directly responsible for some of the drive-out, based on
her halting of a highly sought Amazon operation in her district.
New
York Dems Are Redrawing Congressional Districts And It Could Put Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Out Of A Job.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) may have anticipated a long and prosperous career in Congress, but if the Democrats
in New York's state legislature have their way, the freshman Member may be out of a job as soon as 2022. According to
pollster Frank Luntz, New York is likely to lose a seat in Congress after the 2020 census and Democrats in the state legislature
will have to redraw the state's Congressional districts as a result. Although there are plenty of places to cut, New York
Dems are reportedly eyeing Ocasio-Cortez's Bronx district for elimination because she's been out of sync with state-level
Democrats who control the process.
The
Most Irritating person of 2019 is... If Hollywood wants to do an alternative version of Mr. Smith goes
to Washington they could use her [Cortez] as a role model. They could call it: Ms. Alexi Goes to Moscow.
But at least Jefferson Smith had the brains to make something of his opportunity, while Cortez is baffled by the functioning
of garbage disposals. Hopefully Ms. Alexi will be a flash in the pan and thrown out next November by the
embarrassed voters in her district.
AOC:
Trump is a corrupt politician afraid of 'strong women'. In an interview scheduled to air Monday [12/30/2019] on
Noticias Telemundo, a Spanish-speaking television station that covers both North and Latin America, New York House
Representative Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez claims that United States President Donald Trump is 'afraid of strong women,'
according to a report by the Daily Mail. The freshman representative, since her incumbency, has become one of
the Trump administration's most vocal critics mainly regarding issues of immigration, racism and corruption. According
to the interview, she is OK with that, and to her it means she is on the right path — attempting to invoke change
on a daily basis.
The Editor says...
The American people don't want "change." The American people want improvement, and it is highly unlikely
that AOC can improve upon anything President Trump has done.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez: U.S. Is 'Not an Advanced Society'. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) declared that
the United States is "not an advanced society" and is devolving into a fascist country while campaigning alongside
presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in Los Angeles Saturday [12/21/2019]. "Establishing a loving
society in the United States of America" isn't an "irrational, overly feeling, sympathetic statement," Ocasio-Cortez
said. Instead, it's part of an ongoing mission to achieve "an advanced society," she argued, citing past remarks by
Harvard University professor and fellow Sanders surrogate Cornel West.
AOC:
'It'd be an honor to be vice president'. She's a bit too young to legally hold the job, but that hasn't stopped
Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez from measuring the drapes in the vice president's office. "It'd
be an honor to be vice president," she said in a weekend interview when asked about becoming Vermont Sen. Bernie
Sanders's running mate should he become the Democratic presidential nominee. But, she added, at 30, she is five years
short of the constitutional age limit for vice president — or president.
Shallow: AOC
shares makeup advice on Instagram before Bernie Sanders rally. Queens Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
offered some makeup 101 tips to her Instagram fans Saturday [12/21/2019]. AOC gave the grooming advice as part of a
mini behind-the-scenes Instagram story before speaking at a Bernie Sanders rally in Los Angeles. "The first thing I
need to do is put on my makeup," she said. "I do my own makeup, the only exception is when you go on TV; TV stations
usually do your makeup for you. [...]"
Bartender
to Revolutionary! AOC Asks If We're 'Ready for the Revolution'. Are we "ready for the [communist]
revolution," asks our own little Eva Peron, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? AOC was out campaigning for another communist,
Bernie Sanders. She is the de facto leader of the Democrat Party and she was a bartender and waitress two years
ago. She was at a Spanish language townhall telling the attendees that Bernie is the one.
This
Land is Whose Land? Of all the naïve nonsense that emits from the mouths of young people today,
perhaps the most annoying is the constant and ignorant presumption that, somehow, the land within America's borders doesn't
truly belong to the people who reside here, because the majority are the descendants of people who have migrated from
European countries in centuries past. Ostensibly, this land was "stolen" by European settlers hundreds of years ago
from the people who happened to live here before. "[W]e are standing on native land, and Latino people are the descendants
of native people," said a tearful Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez back in February of this year. [...] It would be easy to lay the bulk
of the blame for her ignorance at Sandy's feet alone, but she had ample help from a public indoctrination campaign, which has
been underway for many decades in public education, to brainwash our youth into believing that America's very existence is
illegitimate, and little more than a symbolic testament to a brutal colonial past.
Socialism
starves, America feeds, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez lies. The latest goings-on with America's SNAP, or food stamp,
program is that this administration reined in some of its more egregiously abused aspects by formalizing work requirements
for adults, ages 18 to 49, who do not have minor-age dependents to feed. In other words: If you're an adult, able
to work, and absent any responsibility for children, then you have to work to eat. The food-stamp gravy train is leaving the
station. Still, that new rule doesn't apply to parents with minor-age children in their homes — something Ocasio-Cortez
failed to mention. The new rule also carves out allowances for adults without children who work at least 20 hours
a week to continue receiving food stamps under certain conditions. All in all, America is a pretty generous nation.
Nobody starves in America. Not as the left would like believed.
AOC's
'Free Stuff' As 'Public Goods' Is An Old Socialist Game. The political left has long tried to hide its true
intentions and character through the use of euphemisms. [...] This is politics as usual for the left. Socialists want
to be called "progressives" because they know socialism carries baggage (though it's become a less-toxic term than it once
was because the left has taken over the academy, and conditioned a generation to believe it's a more just system of
government). The forced redistribution of wealth and tax hikes fall under the category of "shared sacrifice." Tax
cuts are "giveaways to the rich." Spending taxpayers' money on the left's favorite programs is an "investment."
AOC
Raised More for Reelection Campaign Last Quarter Than All Other House Dems, Including Pelosi. Representative
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) raised more funds for her reelection campaign than all other Democrats in the House,
including Speaker Nancy Pelosi, according to federal elections commission data. Ocasio-Cortez raked in $1.42 million
between July 1 and September 30, outstripping Adam Schiff (D., Calif.), who raised $1.26 million over the same
period, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.), who raised $1.26 million, the New York Post first reported.
All three are up for reelection in 2020.
Socialist
Bartender Alexandria Ocasio Cortez Out Fundraises Both Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez has pulled in a massive fundraising haul in the third quarter of the year, raking in more than both
Rep. Adam Schiff and Rep. Nancy Pelosi — despite their campaigning for funds off the impeachment
efforts. The progressive left darling brought in $1.42 million, with $1.1 million of that coming from
small donations of $200 or less.
AOC creates
new term for 'free stuff' she wants to give away. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez unloaded on those who qualify her
policy propositions as "free stuff." Ocasio-Cortez, the 30-year-old socialist New York representative elected to
Congress last year, expressed her frustration with critics who write off her policies, such as tuition-free college,
"Medicare for all," and expanding public housing, as "handouts" or "free stuff" to rope in voters. "It's not that we
deserve it because it's a handout. People like to say, 'Oh, this is about free stuff.' This is not about free
stuff," Ocasio-Cortes said at a Bronx town hall over the weekend.
Free stuff
vs. public goods. At a recent Bronx townhall meeting, NY-14 congressional representative Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez declared in a fiery, finger-wagging statement, "I never want to hear the term free stuff again." By "free
stuff," she's referring to a plethora of no-cost-to-the-consumer campaign promises concerning college tuition, health care,
and subsidized housing. Later she tweeted, "Public education, libraries, and infrastructure policies are not free
stuff. They are public goods and they are worth investing in, protecting, and advancing for all society and future
generations." She's right about one thing — libraries, K-12 public education and infrastructure are not
free. These things are provided thanks to public taxation. She's dead wrong about college tuition, health care
and housing; these are not public goods, they are not free, and taxing the public will never cover the true cost.
New
Yorkers say Cuomo got 'played' by AOC in failed Amazon deal. Gov. Andrew Cuomo was deluged with hate mail
following the collapse of his $3 billion deal to build a giant Amazon headquarters in Queens — with many of the
missives mocking the fact he'd been bested by freshman Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, The [New York] Post has
learned. "You got outsmarted by a bartender ... thanks," Patricia Kaufman scolded the three-term governor, noting the
29-year-old socialist firebrand's former occupation. Her email is just one of some 2,200 pieces of correspondence to
the governor about the Amazon deal that The Post obtained through a Freedom of Information request.
Correcting
Voters' Mistakes. New York City lost its bid for a new Amazon facility due to the efforts of one of its new
representatives in Congress, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. New Yorkers in Cortez' district might find it hateful that
they've lost a chance at a good job while their representative can't be removed from her job until the next election.
Sad to say, but the recall is not available for federal officeholders. Some Americans might resent that unavailability,
given the performance this year of the U.S. House of Representatives.
Sanders: 'No question' AOC will
receive 'very important' role. Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders said that if he is elected, he
would give a "very, very important role" in White House to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). Sanders, a
senator from Vermont, said this in a joint interview with Ocasio-Cortez last week to ABC News, adding that the Bronx-Queens
freshman congresswoman has ideas that "are resonating all over this country," and: "If I am in the White House, she
will play a very, very important role. No question." "I don't want you to hear this, because your head will
explode," Sanders said in jest to Ocasio-Cortez, before adding, "I don't know of any person ... who has had more of an impact
on American politics as a freshman member of Congress than she has."
This Week in AOC Lies. Another
week's worth of misleading tweets from socialist darling Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have gone completely ignored by the media.
Ocasio-Cortez:
Impeaching Trump 'is about preventing a potentially disastrous outcome' in 2020. Democratic Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez admitted that the Democrats' efforts to investigate President Trump are, in part, meant to prevent him from winning
reelection in November 2020. The freshman New York congresswoman made the admission in an interview on CNN Wednesday evening [11/13/2019],
hours after the House had its first public hearing in the impeachment investigation into Trump's foreign policy decisions regarding Ukraine.
AOC Links White
Supremacy to Climate Change. Democrat Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez went off script this weekend
claiming that white supremacy was inextricably linked to climate change. It's good that we know the real culprit behind
the "scourge" of climate change: white supremacy.
Ocasio-Cortez
Dismisses Fears Democrat Party Moving Too Far Left: 'We Are Bringing the Party Home'. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) dismissed the mounting concerns from establishment Democrats, who fear that she and presidential hopeful
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) are moving the Democrat Party "too far left," asserting that the ultra-leftist movement is
"bringing the party home." Ocasio-Cortez stumped with Sanders in Iowa over the weekend and addressed critics who say
that candidates like Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Sanders are moving the Democrat Party "too far left" with their
proposals for "free" college, Medicare for All, and multitrillion-dollar climate change proposals.
AOC
Folds In the Face of a Lawsuit, Issues Apology. [Scroll down] Notice the broadness of the judge's
assertion that "public officials" who use social media for official purposes can not block people from seeing what they are
saying. Democrats, who simply assume they don't have to play by the rules they sought to invent, have largely ignored
this edict. In the case of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, one of her constituents decided to press the issue though.
Ocasio-Cortez
Endorses Criminal Activity In NYC While Making False Claim. Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)
backed criminal activity in New York City on Saturday as she supported those who stormed a subway station and refused to pay
the required fare to use the service. "Close to a thousand anti-police protesters descended on Downtown Brooklyn Friday
night, blocking traffic, vandalizing a city bus and shouting obscene insults at NYPD cops," The New York Post reported. [...]
In a tweet, Ocasio-Cortez falsely claimed that the United States' criminal justice system was a "mass incarceration" system
"that jails the poor to free the rich" — a claim that has no factual basis.
Rand
Paul: 'Nobody In The Media Seems To Care' That Bernie And AOC 'Supporting' Ideas Of 'Stalin And Mao'.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) recently appeared on C-SPAN's "After Words" program to promote his new book, "The Case Against
Socialism." During the approximately 45 minute interview with Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) acting as host, Paul spoke
about the dangers of people like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) promoting
socialist ideology unchallenged.
Ocasio-Cortez,
Democrats Skewered After Embarrassing Attacks On Zuckerberg. Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and
other Democrats on the House Financial Services Committee were slammed online on Wednesday [10/23/2019] over their "arrogant,"
"inaccurate," and "embarrassing" attacks on Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Zuckerberg appeared before the committee for
over six hours to answer questions about Facebook's proposed cryptocurrency, Libra.
Voting
Is a Complex Calculus. One likes and votes for a candidate based on a number of factors which don't usually
have to do with gender and race, and Sandy O obviously endorsed Sanders because she considers him a true democratic
socialist. But the left doesn't understand that, or pretends not to, when it comes to voters and voting. In 2016,
you were somehow a traitor to your gender if you were a female Democrat and couldn't stand Hillary Clinton, or favored Bernie
Sanders over Hillary. Remember Madeleine Albright scolding female voters in 2016 that "there's a special place in hell
for women who don't help each other." For many of us female Democrats (I was one in 2016, but no longer), you couldn't
have paid us to vote for Hillary because we (correctly) viewed her as dishonest and corrupt. And it was galling to hear
mainstream media elites trying to shame us into voting for their favored establishment candidate.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez on Lynching Tweet: 'Horrifying' Trump 'Deliberately' Using Race to Divide U.S. Tuesday [10/22/2019],
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) criticized President Donald Trump for referring to the impeachment inquiry as a
"lynching." [...] Speaking to TMZ, Ocasio-Cortez said, "Well first of all to not understand the history of our country, to
not understand not only the scourge of not only slavery but the fact that lynching happened well beyond slavery."
Sanders:
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Will Work in My Administration. On Monday's [10/21/2019] broadcast of "CBS This
Morning," during a joint interview, Sen. Bernie Sanders (VT-I) said Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) would work
in his White House if he is elected president. The reporter asked if Sanders would consider Ocasio-Cortez for his
running mate. Ocasio-Cortez said, "I think I'm too young for that."
AOC
lauds Sanders in emotional endorsement speech at Queens rally. The flagging presidential campaign of Vermont
Sen. Bernie Sanders got an adrenaline boost Saturday [10/19/2019] when lefty darling Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez formally
endorsed the 78-year-old democratic socialist for commander in chief. "It wasn't until I heard of a man by the name of Bernie
Sanders that I began to question and assert and recognize my inherent value as a human being," Ocasio-Cortez said in an emotional
rally speech at Long Island City's Queensbridge Park, before a crowd the Sanders campaign estimated was more than 25,000.
A
Democrat, and Social Conservative, Challenges Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Democratic city councilman Fernando
Cabrera sounds like a New Yorker. He's speaking fast when I reach him by phone Monday, rattling off the myriad
differences between himself and the woman he's challenging for the Democratic primary nomination for New York's 14th
district: Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. As a well-known New York Democrat who is unconcerned about
jeopardizing a future career in national politics, Cabrera is the most serious primary challenger to enter the race, and the
media have taken notice. His announcement was covered in the New York Post last week, and he was headed to an
interview with Fox News as we discussed his plans to upset a political phenom.
Who cares? AOC gets choked
up at climate forum: 'My dreams of motherhood are now bittersweet'. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.,
got emotional on Friday as she discussed how climate change affected her own personal outlook on life. "I speak to you
not as an elected official or a public figure, but I speak to you as a human being," the freshman congresswoman told a
climate summit in Copenhagen. "A woman whose dreams of motherhood now taste bittersweet, because of what I know about
our children's future," she added, apparently choking back tears. She was giving her keynote address at the C40 World
Mayors Summit which recently approved a global version of her "Green New Deal."
Ocasio-Cortez
Says Dreams of Motherhood 'Taste Bittersweet' Due to Climate Change. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)
said during a speech at the C40 World Mayors Summit in Copenhagen that her dreams of motherhood now "taste bittersweet" due
to climate change. The freshman lawmaker delivered a speech at the summit this week and emotionally declared that her
dreams of motherhood "taste bittersweet" because of climate change and the impact it will have on "our children's future."
AOC
responds to report on pricey haircut: 'They're just mad we look good doing it'. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez dismissed criticism over her pricey trip to a beauty salon last month as pure envy, suggesting people are
jealous over how good she looks while championing progressive policies. The freshman New York Democrat said Thursday
[10/10/2019] the Washington press should be covering more important issues than her latest visit to a downtown salon to
refresh her locks, citing healthcare costs, poverty and "extreme inequality."
Ocasio-Cortez
Pays Nearly $300 for Haircut While Preaching Socialism. My colleague and PJM senior editor Tyler O'Neil put
AOC's latest slice of hypocrisy best: "She's such a typical millennial — we enjoy the benefits of capitalism
but advocate against the engine of growth behind it." AOC does not appear to practice what she preaches. She
recently visited "The Last Tangle" hair salon and dropped nearly $300 for a haircut.
The Editor says...
Yes, but $300 in New York is like $100 in Dallas, and think of the poor hairdresser who has to listen to AOC rant for half an hour.
AOC
Suddenly Flip-Flops, Now Thinks Pulling Out Of Syria Is Terrible Idea. After months and months of criticizing
US involvement in 'forever wars', Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has had a sudden change of mind, tweeting Tuesday that
pulling US troops out of Syria could have 'catastrophic consequences'.
Ocasio-Cortez
Calls For Abolishing Prisons In The United States. Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said
this week that it was time for the United States to have a serious conversation about "decarceration" and "prison abolition
in this country." "Mass incarceration is our American reality," the former bartender tweeted. "It is a system
whose logic evolved from the same lineage as Jim Crow, American apartheid, & slavery. To end it, we have to change.
That means we need to have a real conversation about decarceration & prison abolition in this country."
The Editor says...
First of all, Jim Crow, apartheid, and slavery have nothing to do with the overwhelming majority of the people in state and federal prisons
today, because they were born after 1965 or because they are not black. If Ms. Ocasio-Cortez were to visit a few
state prisons, she would quickly see there are people in those prisons who need to be locked up permanently. Secondly,
there are no "mass incarcerations." Everybody in prison was tried individually and found guilty, one at a time.
Ocasio-Cortez
on Trump: 'His Bigotry is Reflective of the White Supremacist Base He Relies On'. Rep. Alexandria Ocaso-Cortez
(D.-N.Y.) sent out at tweet on Saturday [10/5/2019] accusing President Donald Trump of "bigotry" and stating her belief that
this "bigotry" was "reflective" of what she described as the president's "white supremacist base." That tweet by
Ocasio-Cortez was following up on another she had sent out on Saturday in which she said Trump had "targeted antisemitism
towards Chairman [Adam] Schiff."
Rep.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Unveils Bill That Would Give Federal Benefits To Illegal Aliens. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez has found yet another way to spend your money. The 29-year-old former bartender has unveiled a new
six-bill package of legislation titled "A Just Society." "A just society provides a living wage, safe working
conditions, and healthcare. A just society acknowledges the value of immigrants to our communities. A just
society guarantees safe, comfortable, and affordable housing," says a page on her House website dedicated to the package.
"By strengthening our social and economic foundations, we are preparing ourselves to embark on the journey to save our planet
by rebuilding our economy and cultivate a just society."
AOC
on Impeachment: 'I Think the Whole Thing's Boring'. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) told a
constituent town hall Thursday night she doesn't want to spend a lot of time talking about impeaching President Trump because
she's so over it by now — it's an "open and shut" case. "So feel what you need to feel" about impeachment,
AOC told the gathering. "I'm going to move on, because frankly I think the whole thing's boring. He should have
been impeached a long time ago. I'm over it. So that's how I feel about it, because we've got work to do.["]
What
The 'Eating Babies' Troll Job Said About AOC Is Pretty Terrifying. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction,
and so it was with the brouhaha that took place during a Queens town hall hosted by New York Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez on Thursday [10/3/2019]. [...] So it was no huge surprise when the whole thing turned out to be a stunt put on
by a right wing political cult once led by Lyndon LaRouche. Even so, the real news wasn't just simply what the woman
said, but also how Ocasio-Cortez responded: "One of the things that's very important to us is that we need to treat the
climate crisis with the urgency that it does present," she said calmly, almost meekly.
Ocasio-Cortez
Responds To Woman's 'Eat The Babies!' Rant: Don't Talk About It! Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
(D-NY) responded to a woman who had an outburst over climate change at her town hall event on Thursday [10/3/2019] by telling
people to "knock it off" and not talk about the situation and focus on other matters. "We are not going to be here for
much long because of the climate crisis," the woman said as she appeared to have an accent. "We only have a few months
left!" Ocasio-Cortez is a climate extremist who has on a regular basis stirred people's fears on the climate, suggesting:
there are only 12 years left to act on the climate; people should not have children because of the climate; society needs to
get rid of cows; Miami will be soon destroyed by climate change; and that the fight against climate change is equivalent to
fighting in WWII. The unidentified woman at Ocasio-Cortez's town hall continued: "I love that you support the Green Deal,
but it's not getting rid of fossil fuel, it's not going to solve the problem fast enough," the woman continued.
Woman
Takes Green New Deal to Logical Conclusion, AOC Doesn't Even Blink. "Eat the babies" is trending on Twitter
this morning. You'll never guess why. Ok, maybe you will. In case you were not already aware that climate
extremists are brainwashed religious cultists with severe mental and emotional issues, check out this clip from Wednesday
evening's town hall meeting in Corona, New York, hosted by Democrat organ grinder monkey Congresswoman Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez.
Eating
Babies To Save The Planet Suits AOC. AOC gave the floor to an unidentified woman who seemed to speak with an
accent at a Town Hall meeting over climate change last night, and did nothing to stop her outrageous tirade until after she'd
finished. Removing her jacket to expose a T-shirt emblazoned with the words 'Save the Planet, Eat Babies', the woman
declared that because there are only "a few months left!" before the climate crisis hits, it is time to "start eating babies!"
Democrat
insanity: AOC supporter says "we have to eat the babies". With great emotion, an Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
supporter exhibits an odd mix of climate hysteria and Democrat insanity claiming that we do not have time to stop total
annihilation from climate change. Her suggestion — eat babies. [...] The poor child promoting infant
cannibalism as a solution to Climate Change hysteria is not having an original thought. The idea is being promoted by
Stockholm School of Economics professor and researcher Magnus Soderlund. Soderlund says he believes eating human meat,
derived from dead bodies, might be able to help save the human race if only a world society were to "awaken the idea."
Woman
Snaps At AOC Over Climate: 'Start Eating Babies!' 'We Only Have A Few Months Left!' A woman snapped during an
Ocasio-Cortez town hall event on Thursday evening [10/3/2019] over climate change, declaring that there are only "a few months left!"
and that it is time to "start eating babies!" "We are not going to be here for much longer because of the climate crisis,"
the woman said as she appeared to have an accent. "We only have a few months left!" "I love that you support the
Green Deal, but it's not getting rid of fossil fuel, it's not going to solve the problem fast enough," the woman continued.
"A Swedish professor [said] we can eat dead people but that's not fast enough. So I think your next campaign slogan has
to be this: 'We got to start eating babies! We don't have enough time! There is too much CO2."
Warren
Backs AOC's Illegal Immigrant Welfare Plan. Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren endorsed a
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) policy proposal that includes taxpayer-funded welfare benefits for illegal
immigrants. Ocasio-Cortez's proposal, dubbed "A Just Society," calls for nationwide rent control and bans the federal
government from denying welfare benefits based on an individual's immigration status and previous criminal convictions.
Warren became the first Democratic presidential candidate to endorse the plan, calling it "just the type of bold, comprehensive
thinking we'll need" to make "big, structural change."
AOC's Ludicrous Taxi
Bailout. For generations, New Yorkers have been paying a cartel surcharge for taxis. A conspiracy of New
York City government and business has carefully limited the number of taxi "medallions," without which it is illegal to
operate a taxi that picks up pedestrians hailing drivers on the street. Owners of taxi medallions, naturally, are
generous donors to the politicians who restrict their numbers. The artificial scarcity designed to push up prices is
simply yet another way powerful special interests and politicians collude to cheat ordinary New Yorkers in order to line
their own pockets. When the medallion system was first created, in 1937, only 13,585 of them were authorized.
Today, with the population up by more than a million and the demand for cabs up massively, that number stands at
. . . 13,587.
An impeachment inquiry IS meddling in the election. AOC:
Impeachment Inquiry Needed to Prevent 'Potential Meddling' in 2020 Election. [Rep. Alexandria] Ocasio-Cortez
said that previous House investigations into Trump have tended to focus on alleged past actions. "When it comes to Ukraine
we are talking about a potential meddling in the 2020 election that has still yet to happen."
AOC
Fails to Pay Back Taxes, Succeeds in Drawing a Primary Challenger. Like any committed "democratic" socialist,
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez seems to understand that taxes are for the little people. Daily Caller's Andrew Kerr revealed
late yesterday that a tax warrant against the New York congresscritter's failed business venture remains unpaid, six months
after her office said they would make good on her debt to the state. The bankrupt Brook Avenue Press owes more than
$1,600 in corporate taxes. Kerr reports that the Bronx County Clerk — where Brook Avenue Press was founded
and floundered — noted that the "tax warrant remains open and that a satisfaction of judgment has yet to be filed
in the matter."
Ocasio-Cortez:
Trump's Interest in Biden Ukraine Scandal 'Is an Emergency'. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on
Tuesday urged the House Judiciary Committee to wage immediate action in light of President Donald Trump confirming that he
suggested Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky look into the business dealings of former vice president Joe Biden's son,
Hunter Biden, in the eastern European country.
AOC
Kills Jobs While Trying To Save the Planet. Remember when Ocasio-Cortez fought to keep Amazon from moving its
headquarters to New York City? Her constituents weren't too happy with her about that since the company could have
created tens of thousands of jobs for New Yorkers. The lawmaker appears to be trying to make up for that blunder by
repeating it — this time with a liquor retailer. Total Wine & More, a well-known liquor company often called
the "Walmart of Liquor," plans to open stores in the city. Ocasio-Cortez is none too pleased by this decision and is
seeking to prevent it. In a letter to Vincent Bradley, the Liquor Authority Chairman, the young lawmaker attempted to
make the case for preventing even more jobs from being created in the Big Apple.
As a bartender, she's an expert! No
booze! AOC whines — vows to block Total Wine in her district. Seven months after socialist
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez helped tank New York's deal with Amazon, the radical freshman is now reportedly plotting
to prevent a popular nationwide alcohol retailer from opening in her district. In a letter sent this Tuesday to State
Liquor Authority Chairman Vincent Bradley, the congresswoman reportedly urged the official to deny Total Wine & More a
license because its presence in her community would allegedly harm local small business owners.
Woman
of Color to AOC: 'Are You Accusing Me of Racism?'. During the third Democratic debate on Thursday, ABC News ran
an obnoxious ad from the Sinclair Media Group. The ad opened with the face of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
(D-N.Y.) getting lit on fire, revealing the skulls of people killed under Pol Pot's horrific regime in Cambodia. While
the ad's imagery deserves to be condemned, it aimed to make an important point about command and control big-government
regimes. Rather than addressing the concerns that socialism gives way to communism and government tyranny, AOC attacked
the ad as racist.
AOC:
Miami Will Not Exist 'In a Few Years' Without Green New Deal. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.)
said Wednesday [9/11/2019] that Miami has only a few years left on this planet. At an NAACP forum, the democratic
socialist touted the Green New Deal, her radical climate change plan many have criticized as unrealistic. Economists,
investors, and energy industry experts have frequently noted the plan's astronomical costs and the unreliability of renewable
energy, but Ocasio-Cortez said her critics are the ones who are "not realistic."
The Editor says...
If you really believe Miami will be submerged (in the next few years!) because of climate change, you've got bigger problems
than just the weather.
Ocasio-Cortez
Shows Contempt For Former DHS Official On 9/11. Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) showed
contempt and disrespect to former Acting ICE Director Thomas Homan on Wednesday during a House Oversight Committee
hearing. Ocasio-Cortez's rude comments to Homan — who worked for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS),
which was created after the 9/11 terrorist attacks — came on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
Ocasio-Cortez's contentious remarks came as Homan was defending himself against vile attacks made against him during the
hearing by Democrats on the committee.
AOC
Knows Best — Even When She's Wrong. Rep. Ocasio-Cortez was at it again this week. The
young representative was quite busy as she attacked another lawmaker over the Second Amendment. But that wasn't
all. She also managed to virtue signal against imaginary white supremacy in a gag rally and spread even more falsehoods
about climate change and hurricanes.
AOC
to Small States: Drop Dead. The left has a hot new cause: getting rid of the Electoral College. And
if the left succeeds in doing away with that venerable institution, its next target, the U.S. Senate, will fall like a dried
apple. As is so often the case with leftist causes these days; the spearhead is Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of
New York; being social-media-savvy and telegenic, she's the star of the progressive A-Team.
29-Year-Old
Communist Bartender AOC Lectures Navy SEAL on How to Handle Firearms. Communist Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez (NY) on Wednesday lectured Congressman Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) on how to handle firearms. Dan Crenshaw served
as a Navy SEAL for 10 years including 5 tours of duty in the Middle East and South Korea. Crenshaw lost his right eye
in 2012 after an IED detonated near him in Afghanistan. But the 29-year-old bartender knows more about firearms and the
2nd Amendment than Crenshaw.
The
leftist, Democrat socialist, Green Hypocrite folks talk a good story. [Scroll down] Many in this new
category are celebrities, politicians, and others with megaphones far louder than their own green moral turpitude.
They're everywhere, it seems, spewing death and destruction from inside their gas-guzzling limousines and Lear jets.
They attend meaningful conferences the world over the better to preach to us of the virtues of ceding trillions of dollars to
fend off global climate change. Examples of fatalistic rhetoric by these greenies unfortunately abound. U.S.
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez famously warns us that we have but ten years to live.
Ocasio-Cortez
pans Israel's 'inhumane policies,' insists she isn't anti-Semitic. US Democrat Congresswoman Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez defended her past criticism of Israel to Israeli television, saying it is directed at the policies of Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, not the entire country. In comments aired by Channel 12 Tuesday evening [9/3/2019],
Ocasio-Cortetz also rejected accusations by US President Donald Trump that she discriminates against the Jewish state, saying
the "cudgel of anti-Semitism" cannot be used to ward off censure of Israel, which, she said, employs "unjust and inhumane policies."
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez Promotes Fundraiser For Boston Protesters Associated With Antifa. New York Democratic
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez promoted a fundraiser for bail money for a group of counter-protesters that included
Antifa members after a "Straight Pride" parade in Boston, Massachusetts, this weekend. "One way to support the local
LGBTQ community impacted by Boston's white supremacist parade? Contribute to the Bail Fund for the activists who put
themselves on the line protecting the Boston community," Rep. Ocasio-Cortez said in a social media post Saturday [8/31/2019].
AOC
Doesn't Know Student IDs Don't List Citizenship or Legal Status. [T]his tweet is going around Twitter
today: "Your reminder that in Texas, you can vote with a gun permit but not a student ID." The tweet included
pictures of a Texas concealed carry ID and and a Texas University student ID. Democrats think this is a clever
tweet. Even Squad leader Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez retweeted it. To secure a concealed carry permit in the state
of Texas you must be a "legal resident" in the state of Texas. To secure a school ID you can be any yahoo from any
other state or country. Obviously, this was too difficult a subject for Democrat Ocasio-Cortez.
Sketchy
'AOC Tweet' Reminds Us Just How Completely Beyond Parody She Really Is. Nobody can be THIS authentically dumb,
can they? Has she just been trolling us all along? And is THIS tweet even the real deal? The fact that we
need to look up supporting evidence to determine whether this one is legit or not tells us a LOT about her legitimate Social
Media use.
Is
AOC the self-proclaimed leader of the "Z Generation" and a legend in her own mind? Alexandra Ocasio Cortez sees
the "Z Generation" as the most historically cognizant of all time and they are also those who can and do "puncture more
taboos" as compared to previous generations. There are dozens of random on-street interviews both on and off campus
where young people are asked simple questions about geography, history, politics, and current affairs. The product of
most of these videos does not support AOC's conclusion. [Video clip]
Ocasio-Cortez:
A knucklehead gives herself airs. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says Millennials are more "informed" and "dynamic"
than earlier generations. [...] Informed? She herself famously didn't know that legislators aren't "inaugurated," but
sworn in. Before being sworn in, she imagined herself signing legislation. She had, and probably still has,
little idea of how the government works, what "Legislative Branch" means, and "Executive Branch," and so on. People as
ignorant as this girl have no business in government because their thrashing around, their uninformed assumptions and
nonsensical pronouncements, cause problems for serious people trying to do serious work. Sandy, the truth is this:
Your generation is the laziest, least informed, most misled and sorely misguided ever seen in America since the founding, or
anywhere outside the continents of Africa and Asia and South America.
The Svengali
spoon-fed Ilhan Omar & AOC. Don't believe for even a nano second that Squad members are victimized 'Women of
Color'. They're activist, told-what-to-do puppets dangling from the strings of the Svengalis, whose main mission is to
fundamentally transform the USA into a socialist state.
AOC
Is Too Dumb To Realize This Video Makes Her Look Really Dumb. As I mentioned yesterday, AOC is in full
freak-out mode over glacier illnesses and sun-scorched food. [Video clips] [...] The hilarious thing is that SHE thinks WE
think she's stupid because she talks "about policy in plain English instead of DC jargon." No honey, that's not it.
AOC
Claims 'Woke' Millennials Are the First Generation to Protest Government. Celebrity Democrat Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) claims that "woke" millennials and "Gen Z" are the first generations to protest their government and
are better "informed" than their predecessors. Ocasio-Cortez made the bold claims during her latest Instagram Live video,
suggesting the younger generations are more well-versed in history than past generations. Seemingly forgetting about the
turbulent 1960s, AOC claimed millennials and Generation Z are the first "willing to go to the streets" and challenge
their government.
Doomsday
AOC: Brave millennials are first 'informed' generation to defy government. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,
D-N.Y., claimed in her latest blabbering Instagram Live video that millennials are more "informed" than past generations and
also the first generation "willing to go to the streets" to protest the government. "I think young people are more
informed and dynamic than their predecessors," the controversial congresswoman said. She added, "They actually take
time to read and understand our [world] history."
AOC's
Instagram Rant Confirms Her Cluelessness About Climate Change. During an Instagram live video, Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., discussed her thoughts on climate change. Her comments were riddled with factual inaccuracies.
In part of her video, Ocasio-Cortez said, "Even when I was on vacation, I woke up in the middle of the night at 3:30 in the
morning just concerned about climate change." As the video continued, Ocasio-Cortez said diseases are going to escape from
frozen glaciers and humans will "contract" them.
AOC
Warns of Prehistoric Diseases and Death from Climate Change. AOC jumped on Instagram while making mac n cheese
to share an epiphany about the consequences of not doing more to stop the abuse of 'climate change.' [...] The entire reason
so many people roll their eyes at "climate change" is exactly this [stuff]. The claims get more and more outlandish
every year. Meanwhile in reality, for the last twenty years, no one has seen any difference. I live in a
generation where Democrats believe in Science but can not figure out what gender they are.
Keywords: Snowflake, Chicken Little, paranoia, imaginary hobgoblins. AOC
Wakes Up Some Nights At 3:30 AM Scared About Global Warming. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is back from
vacation which means her modern-day fireside chats via Instagram Live are back in action. With these online townhall
comes a bevy of asinine and concerning statements coming from the freshman Congresswoman's kitchen. Ryan Saavedra of
the Daily Wire captured much of her comments from Tuesday night's [8/27/2019] showing. AOC says she had a rather
stressful vacation due to one major issue she is most concerned about — climate change (also known as global
warming before predictions made by Al Gore didn't exactly pan out).
Did they teach her this in bartender school, or is she just making it up? Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez Warns That 'Diseases Could Escape' From Frozen Glaciers Due To Climate Change. Democratic New
York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told fans on a live stream Tuesday that if climate change isn't stopped, glaciers
could melt and expose humans to diseases tens of thousands of years old. "There are a lot of diseases that are frozen
in some of these glaciers that scientists fear that there is a potential that a lot of diseases could escape these melted
glaciers," Ocasio-Cortez said on Instagram Live.
Ocasio-Cortez
Returns to Twitter to Slam Electoral College: GOP 'Scared' of Popular Vote. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who has been noticeably absent from Twitter for the majority of the week, returned on Friday [8/23/2019] in a
Twitter thread, ranting about the Electoral College and accusing the GOP of being "scared" of a popular vote because "they *know*
they aren't the majority." While Ocasio-Cortez has been relatively silent on social media over the past week, she made
waves after posting a video on Instagram Monday, mocking the Electoral College, and by consequence, Middle America's voice.
By resorting to this comparison, AOC admits that "Affirmative Action" is unfair: Ocasio-Cortez:
Electoral College is 'Affirmative Action' for Rural Americans. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) continued
her verbal assault on the Electoral College, this time smearing the Constitutional system that guarantees big states don't
have undue influence in electing the president as an "electoral affirmative action" scheme for rural Americans.
Neighbors
Allege They Don't See AOC Living In The District Where She Is Required By Congress. The new rising star of the
Democratic party Ocasio-Cortez shows that the Democratic party has no future because every day we hear something that doesn't
make any sense, just like the rest of her party, they are all the same — a living proof of Demagoguery! AOC
claimed that she is a person that represents the people and it seems that she isn't even living in the district she represents.
Socialist
AOC and the Plan to Destroy The Republic. Socialist AOC has a plan to get rid of the American Republic.
Of course AOC is only a cog in the wheel. She's one of the "useful idiots" who think they're superior to the rest of
us. Like getting rid of the Electoral College, for example. Seriously, do you really think the "big city
Democrats" are better than people in rural areas? They are most certainly not. Do we want them dictating who is
President? Not a chance.
Rep.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Electoral College a racist 'scam' that 'has to go'. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez says the Electoral College is a racist "scam" that should be abolished. The Democratic congresswoman
posted an Instagram story Monday that started with her driving along a deserted highway and joking about how many votes there
are in rural America. "We're coming to you live from the Electoral College," Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said, National
Review reported. "Many votes here, as you can see. Very efficient way to choose leadership of the country.
I mean I can't think of any other way, can you?"
Ocasio-Cortez:
The Electoral College Is a 'Scam'. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) on Monday called the U.S.
Electoral College "a scam" that negatively affects minorities. "We're coming to you live from the Electoral College,"
the New York Democrat said in a video on Instagram, which featured her driving along a sparsely populated highway in what
appears to be a desert somewhere in the western part of the country. "Many votes here, as you can see. Very
efficient way to choose leadership of the country. I mean I can't think of any other way, can you?"
Rep.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's office doesn't answer phone calls. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the only
member of the New York City delegation who doesn't have a staff member picking up the phone regularly. The [New York]
Post called the offices of all 13 lawmakers representing New York City — even those in high-profile positions like
Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler — and a real person answered the call on every occasion, in every office
location, except for calls dialed to AOC's two offices.
AOC:
Trump Supporters Not Educated Enough to Recognize Their Own Racism. This week on Crooked Media's "Pod Save
America," Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said many of President Donald Trump's supporters were not educated enough
on racism to understand the policies they support are racist. Ocasio-Cortez said, "It's not about asking are Trump
voters racist. We need to talk about racism, not racists. Racist — it's a very two-dimensional, boring
conversation. Is something racist, yes or no."
Ocasio-Cortez's Known
Donors From Her Own District Are Nearly Non-Existent FEC Records Show. [Rep. Alexandria] Ocasio-Cortez's
reelection campaign has reported receiving contributions from just 10 individuals living within her district in the first
half of 2019, according to its Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings. The FEC only requires that political
campaigns disclose the names and addresses of individuals who contribute over $200 to their campaigns during an
election. Campaigns report their big-dollar donors to the FEC in what's called itemized contributions. The
$1,525.50 Ocasio-Cortez received from her New York constituents represents less than 1% of her campaign's itemized
contributions reported to the FEC in the first half of 2019.
Don't underestimate AOC.
Everywhere I look I see political writers referring to AOC as a bartender, meaning merely a bartender. [...] I imagine AOC is
greatly amused by this bartender stuff, because it gives her cover. If you look at the articles where this happens and
change the word bartender to economist, they read very differently.
Ocasio-Cortez:
Trump [is] 'Directly Responsible' for El Paso Shooting. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Monday
joined the chorus of Democrat lawmakers blaming President Donald Trump for the deadly shooting in El Paso, Texas, over the
weekend, saying his discourse on immigration is "directly responsible" for the tragedy. The freshman congresswoman did
not address how the Dayton, Ohio, shooter echoed her own controversial rhetoric on social media.
Federal
Election Commission investigating ex-AOC chief of staff Chakrabarti. Two organizations linked to Democratic
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her outgoing senior aides are the subject of a Federal Election Commission
investigation into alleged campaign finance violations, the Washington Examiner has learned. The FEC opened an
official case on March 7 to examine complaints against Justice Democrats and Brand New Congress, two campaign committees
started by Ocasio-Cortez's former chief of staff Shaikat Chakrabarti, according to an FEC confirmation letter disclosed to
the Washington Examiner.
'We're
here to win': US democratic socialists move to center stage. The last time the nation's largest socialist
organization came together for its biennial conference, congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was serving tacos and
cocktails at a bar in Manhattan. Two years later, the Democratic Socialists of America have doubled in size and the
young, Latina, democratic socialist from the Bronx who unseated a 10-term veteran to win her New York congressional seat has
become a political force so visible she is known simply by her initials, AOC.
Following
Pelosi Meeting AOC Top Aides Resign. The progressive elements around Alexandria Ocasio-Cortz are framing the
removal of the Justice Democrat leader, Saikat Chakrabarti, as a move to continue the movement beyond the landscape of AOC.
However, in reality it looks like Nancy Pelosi is cracking the whip.
Former
AOC chief of staff under investigation for alleged campaign finance misconduct. Federal government agencies are
investigating alleged campaign finance misconduct by Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's former chief of
staff, who abruptly resigned on Friday, according to the New York Post. The probe focuses on two political action
committees started by Saikat Chakrabarti, concerns about which were first reported by the Washington Examiner in March.
Chakrabarti left his post as chief of staff for Ocasio-Cortez along with communications director Corbin Trent, who is
departing for the freshman congresswoman's 2020 reelection campaign.
Feds
probing AOC's chief of staff Saikat Chakrabarti after sudden resignation. The Feds are looking into possible
campaign finance misdeeds by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's chief of staff and lead rainmaker, who suddenly resigned
Friday, federal sources told The [New York] Post. The inquiry centers on two political action committees founded by
Saikat Chakrabarti, the top aide who quit along with Ocasio-Cortez spokesman Corbin Trent, the sources said. Trent left
to join the congresswoman's 2020 re-election campaign. The brash Chakrabarti, who masterminded Ocasio-Cortez's campaign
and steered her proposed Green New Deal, had caused uproar in the halls of Congress with a series of combative tweets that
contributed to a rift between his rookie boss and Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
AOC's
top staffers resign. Two top members of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's team are leaving the lawmaker's office.
Saikat Chakrabarti, 33, her Chief of Staff left on Friday, and Corbin Trent, Director of Communications, is due for a move
too. Chakrabarti will work for a nonprofit focused on raising awareness of climate change and trying to further the
Green New Deal.
Upheaval:
AOC's chief of staff and top spokesman quit. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's chief of staff Saikat
Chakrabarti and communications director Corbin Trent are both leaving her D.C. office. "Saikat has decided to leave the
office of Rep. Ocasio-Cortez to work with New Consensus to further develop plans for a Green New Deal," Trent told the
Intercept Friday [8/2/2019].
Ocasio-Cortez
Gets Smacked By Meteorologist Over 'Climate Crisis' Claims. A prominent meteorologist once again threw water on
wild claims being made by democratic socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who claimed without evidence that a
flood in Washington, D.C., was the result of "the climate crisis."
Why the
Left So Despises Donald Trump. The far-left faction of the Democrats, led by congresswomen Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib, have with this big, very white, rigorously politically
incorrect billionaire, what they believe, tactically and by uncontainable impulse, is the target of their political
dreams. Mr. Trump is the personification of every policy they hate and every human trait they despise; to them, he
is a monster of ignorance, greed, bombast, bellicosity, and racist bigotry. [...] All four of them qualify as
anti-Semites. As has been widely mentioned, the president is doing what he can to help make these four the best
publicly known face of the Democrats.
AOC:
U.S. Must Have 'Lifelong Commitment' to Migrant Children — Healthcare Services for Life.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said over the weekend that the United States government must have a "lifelong
commitment" to illegal immigrant migrants separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border and provide "mental
healthcare services" to them "for the rest of their lives." Speaking at a town hall event in Queens, New York,
Ocasio-Cortez, who has referred to migrant detention centers as "concentration camps," reportedly argued that the U.S.
government must make a "lifelong commitment" to migrant children because "even if you separate a kid from their parents for
two days, you have already created life-long lasting trauma."
Ocasio-Cortez
says Trump's bid to secure the border 'all about ethnicity and racism'. Her argument about racism is actually
pretty patronizing of the people she claims to champion. The fundamental contradiction of illegal immigration is that
people are presumably fleeing lawless societies in search of a society that has rule of law. How exactly is that
achieved by breaking the law of the lawful society by illegally entering? She's essentially saying that border surgers
are incapable of obeying rule of law and thus, should be allowed into the U.S. without having to obey any rule of law.
Throw Her Out. [Scroll down] Hyphen Cortez repeatedly
blurts out false "facts" that win her airtime: moronic claims that the Constitution was amended to prevent Franklin Roosevelt
from seeking a fifth term, that illegal immigrants are living in concentration camps, and that they are being forced to drink
from toilets. Tlaib and Omar are cut of the same cloth. They all are united in advocating that our lawfully
elected President of the United States be impeached and removed from office. It is they who have provoked this president.
It is they who regularly talk of throwing him out of office.
The Four Horsewomen
of the Democrat Apocalypse. The Four Horsewomen of the Democratic Apocalypse, elected in districts that vote
for one candidate by margins normally seen in totalitarian regimes holding dog-and-pony elections, do not suffer politically
by pushing the party outside the mainstream. Indeed, their constituents likely reward them. So, for reasons
political and, perhaps more so, ideological, they push policies at odds with prevailing public opinion. Ocasio-Cortez,
Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley, and Ilhan Omar all seek to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), support a Green
New Deal that triples the size of the federal government, advocate for reparations, and push for a government healthcare
takeover that outlaws the private insurance plans that cover most Americans. The Four Horsewomen do not seem to
understand that politics requires persuasion rather than pronouncements. To pass or prevent legislation, a decree, from
a freshman member no less, does not accomplish the task.
Some
Congressional Expulsions Are in Order. Are Capitol Hill Republicans actually aware that Ocasio-Cortez, Pressley, and
Tlaib are taxpayer-funded activist actresses? If not, why not? If so, why not say so? Is it really that difficult
to figure this all out? Look, I know it'll never happen, but some — maybe all, Republican and Democrat —
of these members of Congress need to be Nurembergued. [...] The most important responsibility of lawmakers is to keep our countrymen
safe and secure; those who fail, whether intentionally or unintentionally, are clear and present dangers to the republic, and must
be expelled.
Noted
Economics Expert [says] AOC Apparently Doesn't Know What The Federal Reserve Is. One of the worst parts of
Congress is the public hearings. They almost never accomplish anything, nor reveal new information, and simply serve as
a visual medium for egotistical, press hungry members to grandstand. Naturally, that means Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
absolutely loves them. Because big government is always inherently good, despite millennium of evidence to the
contrary, she decided to to go after cryptocurrency.
Texas
Democrat Trashes Ocasio-Cortez And Her Leninist Girl Scout Troop's Agenda. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
(D-NY) assured CBS' Gayle King that there was no fundamental fracture within the Democratic Party. Who is she
kidding? Honestly, congresswoman, the bad news for you is that the entire country isn't on drugs, so no one will
believe such an absurd comment. You just accused House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of racism, of saddling you with so much
work through your committees in order to keep you out of the spotlight. Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) said at
Netroots Nation over the weekend that any black, Hispanic, or LGBT lawmakers who side with Pelosi are pretty much race
traitors, assuming the role of 'Benedict Arnold' to their communities. [...] They even accused Democrats trying to work on a
border package to alleviate the overcrowding at ICE detention facilities of being complicit in keeping kids in cages.
They're bomb throwers. And their agenda is not what the vast majority of Americans want.
Scherie
Murray challenges Ocasio-Cortez for the 14th District seat. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is being challenged by
more than the President. Challengers for her seat are lining up to unseat her in 2020. With New York businesswoman
Scherie Murray becoming the latest Republican challenger to enter into the race for Ocasio-Cortez's 14th District in NY, AOC
might want to start worrying. "There is a crisis in Queens, and it's called AOC," Murray told Fox News.
At this point, ANY challenger has a pretty good chance. Ocasio-Cortez
gets new 2020 challenger: a Republican immigrant from Jamaica. Scherie Murray, a New York businesswoman who
immigrated from Jamaica as a child and is active in state Republican politics, is launching a campaign Wednesday for the
congressional seat held by Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Fox News has learned. In a phone interview,
Murray, 38, confirmed her intention to run for the New York congressional seat as a Republican.
AOC
Draws a Challenger — a Black, Female, Jamaican, Republican Challenger. The not-so-inside talk has
been whether Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's four-woman war against Nancy Pelosi would earn her a Democratic primary challenger
next year, but her high-profile antics have drawn another Republican into the race to represent heavily Democratic NY14.
Fox News reports that Scherie Murray, a 38-year-old New York businesswoman and Jamaica native (she emigrated as a child), has
launched a campaign to unseat AOC next year.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez tells illegal immigrant kids 'this country belongs to you'. In the "squad" response to President
Trump over his tweets to them about their anti-Americanism, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had a doozy of a response.
She declared that the U.S. "belongs" to "everyone," including illegal immigrants. She couched it all in the smarmy
language of addressing all the children of America. [Video clip]
How
Hard Can It Possibly Be For Democrats To Denounce Antifa? On Monday [7/15/2019], as The Daily Wire reported,
Ocasio-Cortez repeatedly refused to denounce a weekend terrorist attack on a Tacoma, Washington Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) facility. The attack, as it turns out, was perpetrated by a far-left member of the horrifically
violent anarchist group, Antifa. Shamefully, though all too predictably, coverage of the cowardly attack "hardly
registered in the national media." And the fresh new face of the Democratic Party — an ideologically unhinged,
economically illiterate, senseless dolt of the highest order — could not bring herself to even condemn it.
The
Arrogance And The Ignorance. Separately, arrogance and ignorance are some of humanity's worst traits.
Together, when coupled with power, they achieve "weapon-grade stupid" status. This is the marinade of the "gang of
four," the "progressive" Congresswomen — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, and Ilhan
Omar — who I'd accuse of having exponentially more social media followers than accomplishments, but it's
impossible to multiply by zero. This week we witnessed why those two traits together are such a problem for Democrats,
and it was hilarious. Individually, the Gang of Four have strung together an uninterrupted string of gaffes, stupid
statements, and racist comments that would humiliate your average teenager. But what they possess individually is
nothing compared what happens when they come together, they manage the mathematical impossibility of a collective IQ drop.
Rahm
Emanuel: Ocasio-Cortez's Chief of Staff is a 'Snot-Nosed Punk'. Rahm Emanuel, the former chairman of the
House Democratic Caucus and Chicago mayor, slammed Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's (D., N.Y.) chief of staff Saikat
Chakrabarti for attempting to "clear the moderate and centrists out of the party." [...] Chakrabarti, who co-founded the
liberal Justice Democrats and Brand New Congress groups before joining Ocasio-Cortez's office, sparked backlash a couple
weeks ago when he compared moderate and Blue Dog Democrats, some of which are African American, to Southern segregationists
in the 1940s. He would go on to delete the tweet, but he doubled down on his message and said, "I don't think people
have to be personally racist to enable a racist system."
Meet AOC's Brain: Saikat Chakrabarti.
Nancy Pelosi is obviously having difficulty controlling the increasingly acrimonious infighting between factions of the House
Democratic caucus. Most observers assume that the primary cause of this discord is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the
cadre of far-left first-termers collectively known as "the Squad." But its actual source is Saikat Chakrabarti, the prime
mover behind a Tennessee-based PAC called the "Justice Democrats," whose support was largely responsible for getting
Reps. Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley, Ro Khanna, and Pramila Jayapal elected last
November. Chakrabarti has now set up shop in the House, ostensibly as AOC's chief of staff.
AOC
Submits Theatrical Exhibit For Best Actress in a Broadcast Drama or Mini-Series. New York Representative Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez is well known for her choreographed border performances and staged pictorial presentations. However, many
within her target audience are no longer supportive of the indulgent self-serving narrative; and support is diminishing.
After
Being Sworn In, AOC Repeated Lie About Children Drinking Out of Toilets at Border Hearing. As we reported
yesterday [7/12/2019], Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez demanded to be sworn in before giving testimony about what she
saw when she visited border detention facilities. It was such an "unusual" request that even Democratic Chairman Elijah
Cummings thought it slightly over the top. What's more, a congresswoman (or anyone else for that matter) testifying
before a House Committee doesn't have to be sworn in; it's already illegal to lie in those circumstances. There's only
one reason why AOC wanted to take the oath: for dramatic effect. This wasn't meant to help anyone else; it was
merely to raise her own profile. Sad. Pathetic. Ridiculous. To make matters even worse, the radical
New York congresswoman then proceeded to repeat her accusation: [...]
Why
AOC is the Taylor Swift of the Democratic Party. After less than a year in office, Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez already has become the most tediously predictable person in politics. Ocasio-Cortez, the would-be Taylor
Swift of the Democratic Party, habitually dismisses her critics and those of her "Squad" — as the four new
champagne radicals in the House call themselves — as racists and sexists. Nancy Pelosi, the leader of her
party in the House, is only the latest target of this strategy. Pelosi, she says, habitually singles out "newly elected
women of color" such as herself for criticism. It is, AOC says, part of a pattern. Which is, ironically, part of
a pattern. That pattern goes like this: Ocasio-Cortez or one of her likeminded allies says something
regrettable — and is made to regret it.
AOC
[Regrets] This Encounter With Former Acting ICE Director Thomas Homan. Much of the lackluster American
intelligensia, or what passes for it, seems to have an inability to distinguish glib from intelligent (that's how late night
comedians became the thought leaders of the Democrat party). This is certainly the case with freshman communist
Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. If any other human had uttered the patent nonsense that has emanated from this person's
mouth, they would have been given the Dan Quayle treatment long ago. But because of the effortless and pseudo-lucid way
in which she spouts stunningly stupid statements, people claim she's smart. (To be frank, much of this is pushed by
sexually frustrated hipsters who thing if they White Knight her that she may notice them. Seriously, when was the last
time you heard a member of Congress praised for a high school science fair project? Or being called a "scholar" because
you have a bachelor's degree?)
Former
Border Patrol Chief Tom Homan Takes 29-Year-Old Bartender AOC to School at Hearing. Democrat lawmakers want
illegal aliens released from custody so they can run wild in the streets and live off the largess of the American taxpayer.
Freshman communist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY) showed up Friday ill-prepared and former Border Patrol Chief Tom Homan
took her to school. AOC thinks she can just read from a script and get by. Tom Homan taught her a lesson.
Catfight
intensifies: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ignites explosion of fury from her fellow Democrats. [Scroll
down] The Hill notes that Team Ocasio-Cortez also compared the recent vote on border funding for supplies to detained
illegal migrants to the racism of "Southern Democrats," which was quite an impressive two-fer. It not only insulted
current Democrats from the South as kneejerk racists, it also managed to bring up the truth that Democrats don't want out
there — that Democrats are historically the party of racism. That's a double whammy with one blow landing below the
belt. No wonder Democrats are murmuring among themselves, ever more loudly about what a pain this person is among them.
More
Ocasio-Cortez photo-op fakery. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is all about appearances, not reality. But
yesterday, a stunt she pulled off managed to alienate a powerful Democrat. She (or her Svengali Saikat Chakrabarti,
whose Justice Democrats auditioned hundreds of people looking for House candidates who could play the role of charismatic
social justice warrior) understands that as the old saw has it, "a picture is worth a thousand words." Reality has no
necessary relationship to the visual message the ingenue creates. The now-notorious picture of her weeping, her face in
her hands, as she gazed upon... an empty parking lot is a good example. (A bit of united hilarity is provided by leftwing hit
site Snopes.com as it declared the pictures "false" and a "conspiracy theory" because of another picture they provide which
also shows an empty road that leads to a detention center. I'm not making this up.) Yesterday [7/12/2019],
Ocasio-Cortez's demand for a phony photo op was so egregious that even her committee chairman, Elijah Cummings, pointed out
that it was not necessary.
Fox
News' Campos Duffy — "You Have To Wonder Is AOC Working For The Cartels or the American people?". On
Wednesday night [7/10/2019], Fox News contributor Rachel Campos-Duffy laid out a perfectly honest and logical question during
her appearance on On The Story with Martha McCallum. Campos-Duffy was on level 10 (being the highest on the
frustration meter) blasted Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's call for the abolition of the Department of Homeland Security.
Her partner in crime, Rep. Ilhan Omar had already called for the ending of the agency a couple of months ago.
Oh-oh!
Ocasio-Cortez and 'Justice Democrats' have ticked-off the Congressional Black Caucus. This may be the moment
that political life starts to turn [bad] for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Richard Baehr observes, "Criticism from
conservatives attacking AOC, Omar, Tlaib, and Pressley wash off them. But when the Congressional Black Caucus goes
after them and Pelosi gets ticked off at them, then they will be marginalized." The tyro pol who lives and breathes
identity politics got too wrapped up in her self-righteousness.
The
AOC Comedy Show/Stupid Central: the Gift That Keeps on Giving. AOC keeps on giving, just like a good comedy
show where the laughs are non-stop. Except that AOC is more like stupid on steroids. AOC's gaffs and outright
stupidity would actually be rather amusing if it was not for the fact that she has the power to cause enormous damage.
Then there is the fact that so many people actually follow this brain-dead high school girl, now that is just plain scary.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez surprised to learn that being a congresswoman involves ... work. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez is famous for wanting a guaranteed income for those "unwilling to work" and well, apparently, she was thinking
of herself. So despite making a $174,000 freshman congresswoman's salary (which would fill a lot of tip jars), she's
complaining about the workload of a typical congresswoman who's landed some highly visible and privileged committee seats.
The AOC-Pelosi
War Was Inevitable. For months now, almost since the opening of Congress, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and freshman
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have been at odds with each other. It started with gentle gibes, Pelosi talking
euphemistically about AOC's "enthusiasm," for example. But over time it has grown more contentious, and now AOC is
fighting back. AOC says that "The persistent singling out ... it got to a point where it was just outright disrespectful
... the explicit singling out of newly elected women of color." She has even gone so far to somewhat bizarrely claim
that she was loaded with excellent committee assignments just to keep her busy. Too busy to perform some other function,
one surmises, but its not clear what that other function is.
Pelosi and AOC Deserve Each
Other. Nancy Pelosi was probably not heartbroken when the fourth-ranking member of the House Democratic Caucus,
Rep. Joe Crowley, was defeated in his 2018 primary by a bartender named Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Crowley had been
seriously considered for House Minority Leader in 2016, and he might well have made a serious play for the House speakership
had he been reelected in 2018. From Pelosi's perspective, it must have seemed that she had lost a potential leadership rival
and gained an easily managed back-bencher.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez Calls Pelosi Racist: 'Singling Out ... Women of Color'. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)
accused Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) of racism on Wednesday [7/10/2019], telling the Washington Post that
Pelosi was guilty of "the explicit singling out of newly elected women of color." Pelosi and Ocasio-Cortez —
also known as "AOC" — have feuded ever since the "democratic socialist" newcomer upset incumbent Rep. Joe
Crowley (D-NY), a member of the party's leadership team under Pelosi, in last year's primary race.
Republican
Candidate Sues Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for Blocking Him on Twitter. Joseph Saladino, a Republican congressional
candidate in New York's 11th district, is suing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) after she blocked him on Twitter, in
response to a recent ruling by a judge stating that President Donald Trump is not allowed to block people on the platform.
An appeals court in New York today ruled in favor of anti-Trump Twitter users who alleged that because President Trump uses the
platform to conduct official business, it is unconstitutional for him to prevent citizens from using the platform to communicate
with him by blocking them.
Uh,
Ocasio-Cortez Tweeted Something Very Problematic... Like Nazi Sympathizer Problematic. Granted, the Left
describes any activity or policy from those with whom they disagree as fascistic and Hitler-esque. It's their default
position that has been jacked up on steroids since Trump's 2016 win. After that 2016 upset, the Left has become
increasingly more unhinged. We have the anti-Semitism crew headed by Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), accusing supporters
of Israel of exhibiting dual loyalty, saying that Israel has hypnotic powers that shields the world to its evil, and peddled
the old trope that Jewish people control political events through cash concerning the activities of AIPAC. AOC decided
to top all of this by quoting Nazi sympathizer Evita Peron of Argentina.
'Poorly
Attended': Ocasio-Cortez Slams 'Salute to America' Celebration with Mistruths. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) questioned why the Trump administration chose to hold a patriotic "Salute to America" celebration in the
nation's capital Thursday [7/4/2019] when migrant kids on the border, she suggested, do not have access to toothpaste or
soap. She also described the successful event as "poorly attended."
The Editor says...
[#1] The July 4th event was attended by a massive crowd. [#2] The July 4th event in Washington DC was a celebration of
the U.S. Independence Day, not a celebration of Mexico or Central America. [#3] Illegal aliens are not guaranteed "access to
toothpaste or soap." If you need toothpaste or soap, you should have either brought some with you, or stayed in Mexico.
Angry
About Border Conditions? Blame Congress. In the annals of Wokes versus People Living in Reality, this
week was one for the books. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), the avatar of lefty rage-emotes
everywhere, visited the border and had a complete meltdown. Ocasio-Cortez told reporters she "was not safe from the
officers," and that migrants were forced to drink out of toilets while being subject to "psychological warfare." "This
has been horrifying so far," she tweeted. "It is hard to understate the enormity of the problem. We're talking
systemic cruelty w/ a dehumanizing culture that treats them like animals." [...] But none of this is true. None of
the migrants housed on the border are being held against their will.
AOC's
Blatant Distortions of the Truth — All for Political Gain. I've watched the fits and rage about AOC
and her entourage screaming about the border facility they visited. [...] Oh she cried and said they were treated with great
disrespect as they were told to check phones and cameras at the gate because this was a secure facility. Remember now
some if not most say they are fleeing violence and threat of death from gangs. One person with them shared a video they
took illegally. Complete with signatures of the women they filmed. Yes they made them write their names on what
looked like an envelope, then zoomed in on it and their faces. All for a political prop, they put these women in great
danger from the gangs they are fleeing. They call it a SECURE FACILITY for a reason to protect identities and people.
Hispanic
Pastors: We Toured The Border Detention Centers & Ocasio-Cortez Is Doling Out Some Big Lies.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and the Democratic Party have been peddling some serious allegations about the
detention facilities housing illegal aliens at the southern border. Of course, they're trying to paint the Trump
administration or any administration that supports enforcing federal immigration laws as fascistic in nature. The
overcrowding, the lack of basic supplies, no soap, no toothbrushes, etc. the outrage is deafening from the Left and their
media allies. It's very entertaining. Yes, it is — because these same clowns said that the border
crisis and the horde of illegals swarming the border was a manufactured crisis peddled by the Trump White House.
'Poorly

official shreds AOC's misinformation campaign with tour of detention facility. A U.S. Customs and Border
Protection official who appears to be of Hispanic descent has taken it upon himself to "dispel some of the misinformation"
about CBP's detention facilities that's been propagated by the likes of socialist Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,
among others. CBP Tucson Sector Chief Patrol Agent Roy Villareal accomplished this by providing a video tour of one of
the many detention facilities he manages in what's been described as "one of the busiest Border Patrol sectors in the

finds a torture den in Venezuela's detention centers. Where are Ocasio-Cortez's fake tears at the fence?
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is one of the few Democrats who's openly stood up for and defended the socialist Venezuelan regime
even as millions of Venezuelans seek to dislodge it from power. [...] Now a report from the United Nations high commissioner
of human rights is out, on Venezuela, and it's profoundly ugly. [...] Can we draw one conclusion about her? She's not
about humanitarian concerns. She's about seeking raw power, using people's emotions about what's humane to achieve her
ends. Socialism is always given a pass.
Sen.
Kennedy: Someone needs to tell AOC 'the voices in her head are not real'. Sen. John Kennedy
criticized Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's previous characterizations of detention centers as "concentration
camps" and her overall stance on the situation at the southern border on Tuesday [7/2/2019]. "Let me be frank," the
Louisiana Republican said in an interview with KLSA News 12 reporter Jeff Ferrell. "Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez ...
someone needs to tell her that the voices in her head are not real. She says that the men and women of our Border Patrol
and our authorities are intentionally running concentration camps on the southern border. She needs to go to the Holocaust
Museum and see what a concentration camp is."
Open
Your Eyes. The Planet's Not Dying. It would be more charitable to describe the green advocates as
misinformed rather than just plain stupid, but it's getting harder and harder to do that. When I read that people like
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Hollywood liberals are hysterically pronouncing that the world will end in 12 years or so,
doubts about their IQs grow.
Funny
how death threats against mini-Ocasio-Cortez came just as Frederica Wilson called for prosecuting congressional
ridicule. [Scroll down] Last December, [Alexandria] Ocasio-Cortez started something with General John
Kelly in defense of her friend [Fredericka] Wilson. She had nothing to gain from it, she just wanted committee seat
assignments at the time and Wilson had ties to all the right people. I wrote about it here. At the time,
Ocasio-Cortez was trying to demonstrate her loyalty to the touchy, egotistic Wilson, who by the way, wears ridiculous
hats. Since then, Wilson has owed her one. Wilson loudly called for censorship in prosecution form for making fun
of congressional members, in an astonishing call to nullify the First Amendment. It was weird at the time and people
assumed it was because people made fun of her hats. But now we see a little child targeted, first with threats, second
with doxxing, all of which serve to silence in a far more brutal manner. So the timing here is really very strange.
What AOC Did On Her Summer
Vacation. [Scroll down] Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was recently shamed into visiting a couple of the border
detention facilities that she has been criticizing from the comfort of Congress. Her first act upon arrival was to
throw a tantrum, complete with foot stamping, yelling and screaming. It goes without saying that, in typically
solipsistic fashion, AOC was primarily focused on herself. Shortly after departing the first facility, she tweeted, "I
see why CBP officers were being so physically & sexually threatening towards me." It's not unusual for adolescents to have
such fantasies, of course, but the grownups finally lost their patience when she went on to make the now-infamous claim that
"Officers were keeping women in cells w/no water & had told them to drink out of the toilets." This resulted in fresh
demands for her resignation [...]
Rep.
Dan Crenshaw calls out Ocasio-Cortez as a liar on detainees drinking from toilets. Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX)
continues to delight me with his common sense and honesty. Yesterday [7/2/2019], he did not mince words, calling out
Democrats for their game of deliberately denying resources to detention centers for illegals and then criticizing President
Trump for the resulting conditions. And he outright called Rep. Ocasio-Cortex a liar for her claim that detainees
were forced to drink from toilets.
Behind Ocasio-Cortez's
border-camp theater. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is horrified at what she's seen on her visit to a
holding facility for illegal immigrants — just a week after she voted against emergency funding to improve
conditions at what she'd taken to calling "concentration camps." This after months when Democrats insisted that talk of
a border crisis was just a Trump administration contrivance, and refused to even vote on its requests for funds. AOC
has a great gift for theater, as in her claim that detained women are forced to drink from toilets — which
apparently refers to standard plumbing units for these facilities, which hold both a sink and toilet.
AOC
Came to Texas to Create Chaos, and Succeeded. She wasn't there to "tour" a detention facility for illegal
aliens who violate U.S. law by entering the country and make false claims of "asylum," she was there to create chaos, create
a story that would get her media attention and create outrage among her social justice warrior support base. And that's
what she did.
Ocasio-Cortez's
attacks on Border Patrol are outrageous and based on lies. As the president of the National Border Patrol
Council, the union representing 16,000 Border Patrol agents, I am personally and professionally offended by Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez's outrageous, inflammatory and false claims about the dedicated law enforcement officers I represent.
Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., once again tweeted Tuesday to describe our detention facilities for illegal immigrants as "concentration
camps" — absurdly comparing these facilities to the death camps run by the Nazis who murdered 6 million Jews and
millions of others during World War II. This is a horrible insult to the memories of the innocent men, women and
children slaughtered by the Nazis, and to our Border Patrol agents — implying that our agents are no different from
the Nazi butchers. The outrageousness of this vicious slander is breathtaking — especially coming from a member
of Congress.
Hispanic
pastors tour border facility lambasted by AOC and say they are 'shocked by misinformation'. Rev. Samuel
Rodriguez was "full of indignation" when he saw the reports and heard from politicians about the deplorable and inhumane
conditions for illegal immigrants at an El Paso County, Texas migrant detention center. But what he saw at the same
facility toured by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. with a group of pastors was "drastically different." The
president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, the world's largest Hispanic Christian organization, and
senior pastor of New Seasons Christian Worship Center in Sacramento shared his firsthand experience touring a migrant
detention center during a press briefing Monday [7/1/2019].
Ocasio-Cortez
Makes Wild Claims About CBP Facility. Witnesses Fire Back. Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
(D-NY) made outrageous claims, without evidence, about her tour of a U.S. Customs and Border Protection immigrant detention
facility which prompted an immediate response from officials who strongly disputed her claims. Ocasio-Cortez claimed
without evidence that CBP officers told detained women to drink from the toilets if they were thirsty while Ocasio-Cortez
stood there and witnessed it.
Reports:
Ocasio-Cortez Had A Total Meltdown At U.S. Border Patrol Facility. [AOC has] become the Right's favorite target
for one simple reason: she peddles trash views on policy. She's one of the main proponents of the Green New Deal, which
is a multi-trillion dollar policy perception that ends with the economic death of the United States. On border
security, she's equally a joke, being the face of the abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement movement on the Hill.
She recently toured a U.S. Border Patrol facility in El Paso, where she reportedly had a full-blown tantrum, yelling at
Border Patrol agents. Ana Giaritelli of The Washington Examiners reported on this blow-up, and other Democrat
reportedly had similar episodes. Oh, and there were pro-Trump protesters at the presser as well.
AOC
Cries Over Empty Parking Lot. One of the problems with having a day job is that you can fall behind on stories
that are revealing if not, strictly speaking, important. I am a day late with this, so bear with me if you already have
seen it: Photos reveal AOC was crying over an empty parking lot. This goes back to 2018, when Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez conducted a photo op at the Mexican border. She posed on one side of a chain link face, her face
contorted in horror as she, apparently, viewed Trump administration outrages taking place on the other side of the fence.
Children in cages, presumably. Or worse. But it turns out that on the other side of the fence, there was...
nothing. It was all a fraud.
The Editor says...
Her small-town theater act lacked authenticity, to put it politely. Not only that, she was dressed
like Flo.
Ex-bartender
AOC calls Ivanka unqualified. Only in today's post-Obama bizarro world does a 29-year-old bartender feel
qualified to question the credentials of a woman who ran a company estimated to be worth $50 million. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is renowned for saying dumb things, which is why she is commonly referred to as the "Bronx nitwit," but the
socialist doesn't allow that to prevent her from adding to her illustrious body of work. Taking to social media,
Ocasio-Cortez displayed her angst over first daughter Ivanka Trump accompanying her father, President Donald Trump, to the
G-20 summit held in Japan.
Nobel
Prize in stupidity': Holocaust survivor wants AOC out of Congress. There are few remaining survivors of
concentration camps. Ed Mosberg is one of them. And the 93-year-old from Morris Plains, NJ, has no time for
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's statements last week, when she called the southern border's migrant detention centers
"concentration camps." "She should be removed from Congress. She's spreading anti-Semitism, hatred and stupidity,"
Mosberg told The [New York] Post. "The people on the border aren't forced to be there — they go there on
their own will. If someone doesn't know the difference, either they're playing stupid or they just don't care."
AOC:
I'm Outraged That Mitch McConnell Killed The House Border Bill I Voted Against! The outrage never stops with
Rep. Ocasio-Cortez. Today she expressed outraged that a House border funding bill did not pass in the Senate.
She said this despite the fact that she vocally opposed the same bill and refused to vote for it when it was passed by the
House earlier this week.
AOC
Shares Shots Of Herself At The Border In Tone Deaf Display. While Democrats continue to hold up funding and
keep CBP hostage as they attempt to handle the massive influx in illegal immigration, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is doing
what's really important. Namely, she's sharing glamour shots of herself from the border, some showing her head in her
hand, others staring deeply into the camera.
Ocasio-Cortez
Wants Debt Canceled Because 'I Have Student Loans Too'. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is on board
with Sen. Bernie Sanders' (I-VT) proposal to erase all student loan debt, because she has not paid off her student loans
either, she said Monday [6/24/2019]. While making remarks in support of Sanders' sweeping bill to cancel $1.6 trillion
in student loan debt, Ocasio-Cortez discussed her "personal stake" in the fight. She wants to make the bill a reality,
in part, because she has outstanding student loans.
Ocasio-Cortez
frantically urges everyone to report ICE sightings, hide fugitives in your homes. The open border faction in
the United States largely responsible for the mass flood on humanity overwhelming the southern border issued a call to arms
on Saturday to assist illegal aliens who are defying court-issued deportation orders. Leading this defiant stand
against the federal government and the rule of law was Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., who warned of the
impending raids that were later be called off by President Donald Trump to give House Democrats more time to do their jobs
and deal with the ongoing immigration crisis.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez Refuses Invitation to Visit Auschwitz Concentration Camp. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
(D-NY) refused Sunday to visit the Auschwitz concentration camp, after a Jewish group had invited her to tour that camp and
others this summer to educate herself about the facts of the Holocaust. Last Monday evening [6/17/2019], Ocasio-Cortez
compared detention facilities for illegal aliens caught crossing the U.S.-Mexico border to "concentration camps," adding the
phrase "never again," which commonly refers to the Nazi Holocaust.
Ocasio-Cortez
Showcases the Left's Reverse McCarthyism. My grandmother spent World War II in a concentration camp in
Transnistria. Growing up in Israel, we were encouraged in school to ask our grandparents what it was like to live
through the Holocaust, but my grandmother was always understandably sparse on the details. [...] Being raised with these
stories, it's frustrating to see politicians like Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) make insulting comparisons
between ICE detention centers and Nazi concentration camps. To make such a comparison, you'd have to be an idiot who is
clueless about history, or a vicious cynic who callously uses the experience of Holocaust survivors to score cheap political
points. Sometimes, it's difficult to tell into which category Ocasio-Cortez falls, but ultimately, it doesn't matter.
Mark
Levin Lights Up Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Like a Christmas Tree at Chernobyl. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a
nasty, stupid bigot. Yet the media put her on their shoulders; they promote her and celebrate her. They give her
as much attention as possible. They have created her, yet she's a nobody, she's a back-bencher from a heavily
Democratic district, where she won the primary by a relatively few votes in a heavily Hispanic district. She beat an
old Pelosi ally, a white male, who did not choose to campaign very much. And they treat this as some great event.
It's not a great event. [...] Now you and I are supposed to sit here and make some fine distinction between concentration
camps and death camps in order to defend Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a buffoon who makes outrageous statements and is defended
by low-lifes like Chris Hayes at MSNBC, among others. [...] We are not running "concentration camps" on our southern
border. Anywhere. This kind of garbage used to be rejected as the insane ramblings of the kooks in our society.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez Effectively Accuses Obama of Running 'Concentration Camps'. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
(D-NY) has effectively compared President Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler, and his administration to the Third Reich.
That's the logical consequence of her claim that detention facilities at the southern border are "concentration
camps" — because the same facilities existed under Obama. Breitbart News first broke the news in 2014 that
large numbers of children were being "warehoused by authorities" after crossing the border illegally. Few Democrats
showed any concern, or criticized the Obama administration for its policies — even when photos emerged of children
being detained in facilities where they had been separated from adults by chain-link fences.
Polish
Lawmaker Invites Rep. Ocasio-Cortez to Come Visit and Study Hitler Concentration Camps in Poland. As
reported earlier by Joseph Curl — Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the 29-year-old former bartender
turned member of Congress, on Monday said President Trump "has established concentration camps on the southern border."
"This administration has established concentration camps on the southern border of the United States for immigrants, where
they are being brutalized with dehumanizing conditions and dying. This is not hyperbole. It is the conclusion of
expert analysis," she wrote on Twitter, citing a magazine article.
AOC:
I didn't say 'Nazi' concentration camps (or did I?). When Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called detention centers
"concentration camps" was she making a reference to the Nazis or not? I think it's clear she was, given that she used
the phase "never again" and referred to President Trump as a "fascist." You can't combine all three of those things and then
act shocked when people conclude you meant "Nazis." And yet, that's exactly what a majority of AOC's fans have been doing,
i.e. pretending she was referring to "concentration camps" generically. Lots of people defending her cited the use of camps
during the Boer War as an example. Yesterday [6/19/2019], Chuck Todd criticized AOC for comparing the centers to
Nazi concentration camps.
Pelosi
blows off AOC 'concentration camp' remarks. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi brushed off comments made by
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez equating border facilities for migrants to "concentration camps" by saying she wasn't "up
to date" on what the New York freshman said. "These members of Congress, they come to represent their districts and
their point of view and they take responsibility for the statements that they make," Pelosi told reporters at a Christian
Science Monitor breakfast when asked specifically about AOC's comments and whether the speaker had talked to her young
members about the "power of their words." "I'm not up to date with her most recent remarks," Pelosi
added. "I saw them on the news, but I haven't spoken to her about that."
Media
Scramble to Protect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez from Holocaust Lie. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is
lying about how she compared our migrant detention camps on the Southern border to the Holocaust, and to the surprise of no
one, fake news outlets like CNN, MSNBC, and the Washington Post are covering for her with their own lies. CNN is even
trying to explain how Auschwitz wasn't all that bad. On Monday [6/17/2019], Ocasio-Crazy, probably from that luxury
apartment of hers, filmed a video that compared American migrant camps to "concentration camps."
Do
Democrats Believe This Or Are They Trying to Get President Trump Shot? Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is actually not
doing anything to improve the situation at the border except telling everyone the President is running concentration camps
and insisting she is serious. If the congresswoman actually believes the President is a danger who will be re-elected
without impeachment, it sounds like her fall back strategy is to try to get the man shot by hoping to inspire the next James
Hodgkinson.I cannot emphasize enough that if Donald Trump accused a Democrat of running concentration camps or, frankly, if
any elected Republican had made those claims against Barack Obama, the media would be all over the person saying such a thing
and insisting they were trying to incite violence against President Obama.
AOC
attack group targets top Dem — who voted with her 96% of the time but criticized Omar. A far-left
group backed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is supporting a political newcomer to unseat a 30-year Democratic New York
congressman who called out Rep. Ilhan Omar over anti-Semitism. Justice Democrats, a group that initially recruited
Ocasio-Cortez to run against former Rep. Joe Crowley, is targeting Rep. Eliot Engel. The candidacy of Jamaal
Bowman, a 43-year-old public middle school teacher, was put forward by Justice Democrats in a continued effort to elect more
progressive Democrats to Congress, the New York Times reported.
The Editor says...
Who is Jamaal Bowman? Two minutes of research turned up this, from November 9, 2015:
Principal
says standardized testing is 'modern-day slavery'. In an online rant, a Bronx public school principal has
likened standardized testing to slavery, redlining and crack cocaine in damaging the lives of minorities. "Public
school high-stakes standardized testing is a form of modern-day slavery, and it is designed to continue the proliferation of
inequality," Cornerstone Academy for Social Action Middle School Principal Jamaal Bowman says in an Aug. 31 blog entry titled
"The Tyranny of Standardized Testing." "America was born of horror for black people and that horror continues today for
brown and poor people as well. Slavery, Jim Crow, redlining, crack cocaine and now standardized testing were all sanctioned
by the American government. All designed to destroy the mind, body and soul of black and brown people."
The
Problem With Ocasio-Cortez's Shameful Ignorance Of History. [Scroll down] Maybe it's because their
analogies are embarrassingly ignorant and intellectually lazy, or maybe it's because people like Ocasio-Cortez, perhaps
unknowingly, diminish the suffering of millions of dead. Or maybe it's because my own grandfather was taken as slave
labor in Austria. Then again, maybe it's because the comparison itself is a despicable smear of the American
people. It's true that we're not prepared for the crush of refugees on the southern border (although it should be noted
that many Democrats contend any border is immoral). While there is a border, however, we ask migrants who show up to
follow existing laws; ones that are subject to the democratic process and the court system.
Ocasio-Cortez
Explodes After Cheney Correctly States Horrors Of Holocaust. Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
(D-NY) sought to deflect attention from her "concentration camp" remarks on Tuesday by feigning outrage at Rep. Liz
Cheney (R-WY) after Cheney correctly stated the horrors of the Holocaust. Cheney blasted Ocasio-Cortez early on Tuesday
after Ocasio-Cortez falsely claimed in a late night Instagram live video on Monday that the Trump administration was
operating "concentration camps" on the southern border.
Ocasio-Cortez
Caught Lying While Defending Her 'Concentration Camp' Comments. Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
(D-NY) doubled down on her egregious comparison of the Trump administration's use of detention facilities on the southern
border to concentration camps and the Holocaust. [...] Ocasio-Cortez's attempt to suggest that she was not implying that
detention camps on the southern border were the same thing as concentration camps during WWII is a lie. It's a lie
because in her video she made distinctions between concentration camps and the internment camps used during the war and she
invoked "Never Again," which specifically refers to the Holocaust.
AOC
compares border crisis to Nazi Germany as the US gives free healthcare to illegal immigrants. Because freshman
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., once said that "a very, very long time ago" she had Jews in her family, I'm
assuming it's culturally fine for her to make Holocaust comparisons as she sees fit. But are we allowed to call her an
airhead for effectively accusing U.S. Border Patrol agents, which are currently breaking their backs to to save dying Central
Americans, of functioning like Nazis?
'I
don't use those words lightly': AOC compares US southern border to the Holocaust. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez accused U.S. immigration officials of running "concentration camps" on the U.S. southern border.
Ocasio-Cortez spoke to her followers on Instagram in another one of her live, unscripted videos on Monday evening [6/17/2019].
The New York Democrat said current U.S. immigration policy rivals the Nazi's treatment of Jews and other prisoners in World War
II. "The United States is running concentration camps on our southern border, and that is exactly what they are.
They are concentration camps," Ocasio-Cortez said.
Ocasio-Cortez Says the
Hyde Amendment 'Isn't About Abortion'. Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said the Hyde Amendment,
which prevents the use of taxpayer dollars to fund abortions, "isn't about abortion, per se," during a Sunday [6/16/2019]
interview on "ABC This Week." [Video clip] [...] "Reproductive health care for incarcerated women should be guaranteed as
it is with all women in the United States, so I think it really depends," said the New York congresswoman. "And that's really
what the Hyde Amendment is really about. The Hyde Amendment isn't about abortion per se. The Hyde Amendment is
truly about equality of healthcare and healthcare access for low income women and women of color and women that get caught in our
mass incarceration system. And so the Hyde Amendment is about income inequality and it's about women's healthcare in a
system of income inequality. So I think that we need to repeal it."
The Editor says...
[#1] Abortion is not "reproductive health care." It is anti-reproductive, and results in the death of at least one of the
parties involved. [#2] There is no mass incarceration system. Women end up in prison, one at a time, due to
their own bad judgement and bad decisions.
Rep.
Ocasio-Cortez: 'Unspeakable Horrors Have Been Executed by the U.S. in the Name of Citizenship'. Including a
citizenship question in the U.S. Census would be a horror as unspeakable as the Dred Scott decision or the internment of
Japanese-Americans during World War II, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) told a House hearing Wednesday
[6/12/2019]. "Citizenship" is "an acknowledge of power" and comes from being "a person in our democracy," and not from
a Supreme Court decision, Ocasio-Cortez said, alluding to the high court's anticipated ruling on the constitutionality of
adding a citizenship question to the Census:
AOC
spokesman tweets, then deletes, F-bomb rant against potential GOP challenger. US Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez's spokesman sent a profane tweet to a potential Republican challenger as he ripped him for wanting to debate
his boss. "Yo @RichValdes what [...] makes you think you're entitled to a debate with AOC," spokesman Corbin Trent
tweeted Sunday at the conservative talk radio producer who's mulling a run against the freshman congresswoman. Earlier
that day, Valdes said he tried to challenge Ocasio-Cortez to a debate on the merits of capitalism versus socialism as they
both marched in the National Puerto Rican Day Parade. Valdes claims the democratic socialist "jetted to the other side
of street" when he tried to approach her.
AOC
Wants a Raise. Here's a Better Idea. Freshmen Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wants Congress to give
itself a $4,500 pay raise next year. That would boost her salary to $178,500. And that's not counting the many perks
members of Congress get, all courtesy of taxpayers. But even that isn't enough for the self-described socialist.
AOC scoffed that a 2.5% bump in pay was "not even like a raise." Before that, she grumbled that her income was merely a
"living wage." She also complained in a tweet that if lawmakers don't get a raise, it "makes campaign finance reform
*harder.*" And it "increases pressure on them to keep dark money loopholes open." It makes one wonder if AOC
understands that campaign money and her salary are two different things.
The Editor says...
It sounds like she doesn't know that graft and her salary are two different things. It also sounds like she's extremely greedy, since
she has had this job only five months and is already demanding a raise. In any event, just by bringing up the subject, she sounds like a
person with a propensity for corruption.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez Is Already Demanding Higher Pay, And Says She Will Become Corrupt If Not Rewarded. The subject of
Congressional pay raises has come up and AOC, who has been on the job for mere months, is already stating she needs to be
paid more. Maybe you can toss a hint of extortion in that mix as well. If you have ever worked in an office you
may have encountered this type. More than ambitious, a new arrival is brought in who questions methods and challenges
protocols of a business that have been long established as successful. This person acts in a fashion as if they have
all the answers, long before they have even heard all the questions. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is our Congressional
new-hire, acting this way before even reading the employee handbook (in her case, the Constitution.)
The Editor says...
It should be fairly easy to get qualified people to run for Congress with a paycheck of one dollar per year, and a lifetime
limit of three terms. Those who are inclined toward corruption will be corrupt, no matter how much the taxpayers pay
them. Yes, the cost of living in Washington is high, but the government could easily build a congressional dormitory
and let the Members live there.
Capitalism
Makes Miracles; Socialism Makes Dust. [Scroll down] When on recess from congressional duties recently,
she [AOC] was more happily surprised at the leafy plants that had grown in her community garden slot. "[...] Look at this!"
she exclaimed. "I have to trim all of these back for smoothies," she said. "Look, like, honestly, gardening —
food, that comes out of the dirt! Like, it's magic!" Who could possibly imagine that such a woman can better manage the
production and harvesting of timber or graphite or wheat or milk or tomatoes, and the transportation costs and logistics for each of
those things, or the production minutiae and costs of the various machinery that harvests and transports them, and the marketing and
distribution costs of the products that are created by all of that, better than the countless individuals, uniquely skilled in their
own respective trades, who are already doing that in their own, singular business ventures that come together in a free market in
such a way as to create the absolute wonders around us?
AOC
schooled by FBI counterterrorism official after suggesting white supremacists are getting 'off the hook'.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was schooled by an FBI counterterrorism official earlier this week after she incorrectly
suggested Muslims get charged with terrorism because they are treated as foreign, while white supremacists get "off the
hook." The New York Democrat used a hearing on Tuesday to suggest that Muslims are being treated differently in the
U.S., including getting charged with terrorism for criminal acts, while white supremacist attackers avoid being charged with
"domestic terrorism" for similar crimes.
AOC's
Constituents Send A Clear Message. Some of AOC's constituents aren't too happy with their congresswoman.
Veterans in the Bronx expressed their displeasure with the lawmaker after walking out of a private meeting. They stated
that Ocasio-Cortez is ignoring critical local issues in favor of "beating up on" President Trump and the GOP. Silvio
Mazzella, a Vietnam veteran and treasurer of Bronx Community Board 11, told The Daily Caller News Foundation that the meeting
they had on May 29 was the first time they had seen the representative since she started her term in January. "She was
in office five months, and this is the first time she came to our community," he said. If you didn't know any better,
you might think AOC is more concerned about pushing her pie-in-the-sky Green New Deal than actually making a difference in
her community.
GOP hopeful
Rich Vales slams Ocasio-Cortez: 'All Out Crazy'. A Republican from New Jersey who plans to move to
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's district to run against her in the 2020 election blasted the congresswoman's policies as
"misguided" in an appearance at a Queens GOP club Thursday [6/6/2019]. Rich Valdes, a conservative radio producer who
previously worked for NJ Gov. Chris Christie, told about 100 people at the Queens Village Republican Club Thursday
evening [6/6/2019]. "AOC — All Out Crazy — wants to establish a new Soviet Republic. I believe
in capitalism over socialism. Her misguided policies don't represent the district," he told the crowd. "She's great
at fundraising but not at constituent services. Ask around, most constituents don't think climate change is a number one
issue," he added.
AOC
Returns to the Scene of the Minimum Wage Crime. The issue is simple: Does a government-mandated minimum
wage help or hurt the very workers and job seekers that Ocasio-Cortez wants to help? Ask her former boss, who owned The
Coffee Shop diner in Union Square where AOC used to work. Late last year, The Coffee Shop closed its doors after 28 years,
sidelining 150 employees. How successful was the place, where diners often came to celebrate special occasions?
Chip Roy Gives Ocasio-Cortez
A Legal Lesson On Domestic Terrorism. Rep. Chip Roy explained Tuesday that perpetrators of murderous hate
crimes in the United States aren't charged with domestic terrorism because there is no such statute. [...] Roy's
clarification was in response to a heated exchange between McGarrity and Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez over why some white mass shooters in the U.S. are not charged with domestic terrorism while other Muslim mass
shooters do receive foreign terrorism charges.
AOC
Downplays Luxury Apartment, Says Everyone Should Have One. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.)
downplayed the amenities available in her expensive Washington, D.C., apartment building last week, saying her unit was
comparable to apartments in a new public housing complex in New York City. Ocasio-Cortez made the comparison during a
Bronx town hall, saying people have been conditioned to view things that should be available to everyone as "luxury"
amenities. "What we have been taught that [sic] is a luxury should not be a luxury," Ocasio-Cortez said. "Another
world is possible," she said. "We can live in buildings that are not-for-profit, or tenant-owned, there are so many
ways we can slice this and we can structure it in a way where all people have the right to a dignified home."
Why
Are America's Socialists — and Democrats and Journalists — Always So Angry? [Scroll
down] Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is another angry democratic socialist. She rages when her sophomoric
Green New Deal is questioned. She was incensed when Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced he was going to
let the Senate vote on her legislation. She's annoyed that cauliflower is grown in urban gardens, apparently because
it's a "colonial" vegetable. Columnist Peggy Noonan said Ocasio-Cortez was "sullen, teenage and at a loss" during
President Trump's State of the Union address. Her very manner is that of someone who is mad at the world and is always
just seconds away from lashing out.
Sun-Made
raisin company cuts sponsorship ties with minor league baseball team the Fresno Grizzlies. A sponsor has cut
ties with a California minor league baseball team that played a Memorial Day video appearing to equate Democratic

terminated its sponsorship of the Fresno Grizzlies on Wednesday, after the offensive video was played at halftime on Monday
[5/27/2019]. The company acknowledged the Grizzlies apologized but said terminating the sponsorship was the right thing
to do.

Apologizing was their only mistake.
Ted
Cruz praises AOC on banning lawmakers from becoming lobbyists: 'I AGREE' with her! Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Tex,
seemed as surprised as everyone else when he admitted he agreed with a proposal put forward by Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez, D-NY. The duo found common ground after the New York Democrat called for a ban on lawmakers becoming
lobbyists. Ocasio-Cortez got the ball rolling on Twitter, reacting to a statistic that shows 60 percent of former
congressmen from the 115th Congress received jobs as lobbyists or federal policy influencers, something she disapproved.
"If you are a member of Congress + leave, you shouldn't be allowed to turn right around & leverage your service for a lobbyist
check," Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. "I don't think it should be legal at ALL to become a corporate lobbyist if you've served
in Congress. At minimum there should be a long wait period."
Ocasio-Cortez
Stepped On A Rake Trying To Slam A Reporter For Tweeting About Warren's Legal Career. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) ate it last week. No, it wasn't about the Green New Deal, which is a recipe for economic disaster;
it was a poorly executed counterattack against the media. Yep, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) is running for the
Democratic nomination in 2020, so you're whole life goes under the microscope. Y'all know the drill. It so
happens that she had quite the legal career as well, charging $675/hour and worked on over 50 legal cases. CNN's Andrew
Kaczynski simply tweeted about this dot on Warren's resume, which AOC thought was an attack, pulled the trigger, but got
face-full of buckshot instead.
AOC
and Bernie Sanders want to turn post offices into banks — Uh, no thanks, comrades. In the view of
self-proclaimed democratic socialists like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Democratic presidential hopeful
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., Big Government is never big enough. The problem is that government is too small, your
taxes are too low, and government isn't spending enough of your money on cradle-to-grave social programs. The latest
Big Government proposal from Ocasio-Cortez and Sanders calls for dramatically expanding the financial services provided by
the U.S. Postal Service. Under the plan, local post offices would provide the public access to financial services such
as ATMs, paycheck-cashing, low-interest loans, savings and checking accounts, bill payment, electronic money transfers, and a
few others.
The Editor says...
[#1] The line is long enough at the Post Office already. [#2] If they can lose an important letter, they can lose your deposit slip, too.
Sandy
O Starts Feeling the Heat. [Scroll down] The truth is, when one peels back the onion of her most recent
whining, it's not about cauliflower or cauliflower power. It's simply about power. Like so many of her puerile
postings on social media, this vegetable shaming is, at its core, one little harrumph in a herculean harangue that calls for
the left's totalitarian control of every aspect of America's economic and cultural future, while railing against the
Democratic party's incrementalism of the past.
AOC
Live Tweets the Weather (AKA 'Climate Crisis'). Like garbage disposers I guess AOC has never seen a tornado
either. Not even on YouTube because there is nothing and I mean nothing "casual" by any definition of that word about
tornadoes. Perhaps she meant "causal" tornadoes, as in "there's a causal relationship between climate change and an
increase in tornadoes." Although the PBS report she's reading from while livestreaming her horrifying tornado warning
experience for her Instagram followers seems to indicate the contrary.
AOC
says 'casual tornadoes' are a new threat to the country. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said tornadoes are
the latest climate change threat after a tornado warning was issued for Washington, D.C. [...] After her brief video,
Ocasio-Cortez discussed how tornadoes were part of the threat of climate change. "The climate crisis is real y'all,"
she said. "Guess we're at casual tornadoes in growing regions of the country?"
The Editor says...
Anyone who goes into a panic because of tornado watch or even a tornado warning is a snowflake. When watches and
warnings are issued, one should be aware of the neighborhood conditions, but fear is unnecessary.
'It's Just the
Weather': Meteorologist Fact-Checks Ocasio-Cortez on Climate Change. Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez suggested the tornado warning that hit the D.C. area Thursday was part of the "climate crisis" she has previously
said humanity only has 12 years left to solve. "The climate crisis is real y'all," Ocasio said on Instagram Thursday
[5/23/2019], "guess we're at casual tornadoes in growing regions of the country?" However, she was quickly fact-checked by
meteorologist Ryan Maue, who pointed out that far from proof of a "climate crisis," D.C.'s tornado warning was "just the weather."

Mocks Reporter's Salary, Rips Media Report on Warren's Lucrative Legal Career. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) ripped a media report Thursday [5/23/2019] on the past lucrative legal career of Sen. Elizabeth
Warren (D., Mass.) and mocked a reporter's salary in the process. Ocasio-Cortez went to bat for Warren after the 2020
presidential candidate posted a list of 56 cases on her campaign website that she worked on during her career as a law
professor. The Washington Post reported Warren made up to $675 an hour while consulting for committees representing
both claimants and creditors in asbestos-related bankruptcy cases. She also worked for several corporate clients.
Most Democrats Believe
Ocasio-Cortez's Claim that She Said Only a Sea Sponge Would Believe. More than two-thirds of Democrats believe
Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's claim that "the world is going to end in 12 years if we don't
address climate change" despite the congresswoman later saying that "you'd have to have the social intelligence of a sea
sponge" to take her literally. "Millennials and people, you know, Gen Z and all these folks that will come after us
are looking up and we're like: 'The world is gonna end in 12 years if we don't address climate change and your
biggest issue is how are we gonna pay for it?'" Ocasio-Cortez said during an interview in January.
Ocasio-Cortez
says growing cauliflower in community gardens is 'colonial'. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Sunday
that growing cauliflower in community gardens is part of the "colonial" attitudes that her Green New Deal will stamp out.
The New York Democrat, who introduced the proposal to tackle climate change by radically transforming the economy, posted a
series of Instagram videos filmed in her home state talking about community gardens as a "core component" of her proposal.
Nikki
Haley smacks down cowardly Comrade Ocasio-Cortez over Venezuela. The former ace United Nations ambassador went
after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez with a brickbat, calling out the socialist congresswoman for her cowardly failure to
articulate any response to the ugly effects of socialism run by a vile dictator in Venezuela.
Charles
Payne — I Cringe When I Hear People Insult AOC's Intelligence. I don't watch Fox News or Fox Business
as others do, but I agree with Charles Payne in regards to critics of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Fox & Friends morning hosts
bombarded their program for weeks labeling her "socialist," making jokes, and disparaging comments about her intelligence.
Republicans and conservatives made memes against AOC with the same tactics, therefore, making her popular among those who had
sympathy and empathy toward the increased attacks.
The Editor says...
I like Charles Payne, but my on-going derision of AOC's apparently meager mental acuity is not merely an ad hominem attack.
My intention is to point out the insipidness and futility of every idea she promotes. Nobody with any sense would agree with
her that the world will be uninhabitable 12 years from now because of global warming, or because of carbon dioxide, or because
of plastic straws in the ocean, or because we eat meat. Anyone who would make the so-called Green New Deal the centerpiece of
her agenda in the Congress is a simpleton who is all but completely disconnected from reality. AOC is a political buffoon whose
socialist ideas are a genuine threat, and her proposals deserve sustained and continual mockery.
"Little
Girl Voice" of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez calling America to Fascism. The "little girl voice" is a prime prop in
the lexicon of Justice Democrat Casting Call Winner Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC). Tell folk the planet on which they
live will be dead and gone within 12 years, and what you get is a scare monger's Big Fail. Say it in the plaintive
voice of a 'little girl' and all bleeding heart liberals will flock to your rescue like seagulls to strewn garbage.
Little girl voices always engender immediate sympathy. Just ask Christine Blasey Ford during her epic attempts to
destroy Justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh. But everything about AOC is a well orchestrated ACT of which her little girl
voice is only the most recognizable part.
GOP
Pollster Says Ocasio-Cortez Only Democrat Who Can Match Trump In 2020. Forget that's she's only 29 and the
Constitution declares that presidents be at least 35 years old. Republican pollster Frank Luntz said Tuesday [5/14/2019]
that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the only Democrat out there right now who could possibly beat President Trump in 2020.
The key is authenticity," Luntz told Fox News host Laura Ingraham on her show, "The Ingraham Angle."
How
(and why) conservative media created Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. In one six-week period, Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez was mentioned 3,181 times on Fox News and Fox Business. That's an average of 75 times a day. Not a
single day went by between Feb. 25 and April 7 in which the conservative networks did not mention the Democratic socialist
lawmaker from New York — repeatedly — according to Media Matters for America. Since then, she's
garnered nearly endless coverage, both on conservative and liberal news outlets. She's become the darling of the
Democratic Party. Tom Perez, the head of the Democratic National Committee, has called her the "future of our party."
The Editor says...
Conservatives did not create AOC. She has made herself a laughingstock, and the tabloid press loves to see someone
make a fool of himself or herself. Fox News and Fox Business are especially thrilled that a capitalism-hating rookie
congresswoman has turned out to be such a poorly-educated doofus. Her whole life is now click bait.
That's fuel for news web sites.
AOC,
at Green New Deal rally, puts Joe Biden and other Democratic climate moderates on notice. Speaking at a crowded
auditorium at Howard University, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and other proponents of the Green New
Deal — an ambitious plan to rid the U.S. economy of a reliance on fossil fuels — affirmed their
progressive ideals while striking out at both conservative Republicans and moderate Democrats who have, according to her and
other critics, done too little about global warming for too long. In particular, Ocasio-Cortez, who is in her first
term as a congresswoman representing the Bronx and Queens, seemed to criticize Joe Biden, who entered the U.S. Senate in
1973, 16 years before she was born.
Ocasio-Cortez
goes full Marx. Speaking to a rally to promote the lunatic Green New Deal that would bankrupt America while
allowing China, India, and the rest of the world to continue to emit CO2 without restriction for more than a decade,
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez revealed the fount of her economic thinking: Karl Marx. Fittingly, she was
accompanied by avowedly socialist presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders at a rally at Howard University, where both
radical politicians denounced anything short of a full commitment to the radical restructuring of our economy. Obviously
alluding to frontrunner Joe Biden's less than full-throated support of the GND, Ocasio-Cortez said there is "no middle
ground," setting up a potential third party green/socialist absolutist challenge should Biden win the Dems' nomination.
Alinsky's Rule #5: Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. Mini-AOC
Strikes Again With Another Spot-On Video Mocking Ocasio-Cortez. Ava Martinez is back with another perfect
impression of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the New York Democratic socialist who talks like a Valley girl.
"Like, hello America, AOC here again," Ava says in her latest video. "But this time from Washington, D.C., which is
named after our first president — George Washington D.C." Like, I want to tell you about my plan to
single-handedly save the planet. I call it the Green New Deal. I picked green because I'm still learning my
colors. I came up with my plan after we were watching, like, the most important documentary on climate change.
It's called Ice Age 2: The Meltdown," she says, referring to the animated 2006 hit movie. "That's not me
saying it, that's science."
Ocasio-Cortez
realizes she said something stupid and reacts badly. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez finally understands that her
claim that we have only 12 years to save the world from global warming disaster was a ridiculous statement. Having been
mocked by her many enemies, and unable to defend the absurdity, she is actually digging a deeper hole for herself, trying to
maintain the self-righteousness that seems to power her drive for political power.
Just
Kidding, Says Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's newest defense of her wacky ideas is that
they're just "dry humor" and "sarcasm." We should take her seriously but not literally, I guess. Ocasio-Cortez got
roasted over the weekend after saying her tax-the-rich scheme would only apply to "like ten people." Sunday [5/12/2019] she
checked in to say that it was just a joke, and moreover her previous remark about the world ending in 12 years was also
a joke. Moreover, anyone who didn't get that these were jokes is an idiot.
The Editor says...
This is a very common Democrat tactic: They will say or do something outrageous, and if there are any objections,
follow up a few days later with, "Can't you take a joke?"
Examples abound:
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez decries 'myth' of low-paying jobs in emotional tweet. In an emotional outpouring,
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez shared her feelings about graduating from waitress work to being a member of
Congress — and railed against the stigma of low-paying jobs on Twitter. "Going from waitressing a year ago
to now carries a LOT of life-adjustments," the Dem from New York tweeted Saturday. "But 3 paychecks in has shown me how
1 of the greatest scams in US is the idea that financial struggle is due to 'poor character.' "It's a huge myth designed
to keep people from empowering themselves."

Don't Let Rich Capitalists Deny You A Living Wage Or An Iced Coffee. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez posted

blown away by first experience with a garbage disposal. New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is learning
a lot of new things in Washington — including what a garbage disposal is. The 29-year-old freshman congresswoman
posted photos and videos on Instagram showing the apparently "terrifying" contraption at work in her swanky DC apartment and
saying she'd never seen one before.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez Discovers a Garbage Disposal, Asks if It Is 'Environmentally Sound'. After her recent move to
Washington D.C., Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has allegedly discovered what a garbage disposal is, describing it
as "terrifying" in a series of photos and videos she shared to her Instagram account. "This DC apartment is bougie and
has things I've never seen before. Like what is a garbage disposal really for," Ocasio-Cortez asked in the video
caption. "Is it better or worse to than throwing something in the garbage? Most importantly why is it so loud and
yelling at me?"

New
AOC documentary on Netflix relies on capitalism to spread socialism. As an economic system, socialism has an
unmatched record of human misery. Yet as a product sold in capitalist America, socialism is a raging success.
Witness Wednesday's [5/1/2019] Netflix release of "Knock Down the House," a film that features a glowing portrait of socialist
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her socialist ideas. Netflix paid a record $10 million for the rights to this
documentary. It's executive produced by Regina Scully, whose hedge fund manager husband John owns a $400,000 model
train set in their East Hampton summer mansion that boasts a 2,200 square foot basement. Keep in mind the film's
initial budget was $28,111, raised on Kickstarter. Talk about a return on investment. Then there's Netflix
itself, one of the greatest capitalist stories of this generation.
Participants
in AOC's 'fun run' didn't know they were donating to her campaign. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez held a 5k
in Queens Saturday that she billed as "a Family Fun Run supporting U.S. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Green New
Deal on the Saturday following Earth Day." But many of the 400 runners didn't realize their $30 registration fees were
going directly into the lawmaker's campaign coffers.
It Sure Looks Like AOC Broke Campaign
Finance Law With Her Latest Stunt. She's really not good at this whole campaign finance thing. Questions
have already been raised about how her campaign was funded, her connection to the Justice Democrats group, and whether she
was funneling money illegally to her boyfriend for supposed consulting work. Well, there's apparently more to critique
about her campaign's use of money. Recently, the freshest of the fresh faces in Congress, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,
held a 5k "Family fun run" in which she was claiming to raise money to support her Green New Deal. The issue is that
she was actually just shoveling all the cash into her campaign coffers.
The Editor says...
What campaign? She was just elected to Congress a few months ago, and she's already working on re-election?
Ocasio-Cortez
of New York: 'I Believe in Human Rights — I Don't Care If You're Undocumented'. Why is
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) not under indictment for advocating the breaking of our immigration laws?
Look at all her unnecessary and gratuitous body gestures and arm waving in the video of a recent appearance of hers.
It's a brainwashing tactic. The human eye and subconscious mind are attracted to motion; using extremely animated body
gestures can be done to hypnotize an audience. It makes a person not want to look away — and distracts one
from what's being said. [Video clip]
On
illegals, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez whines about Trump not doing what's actually her job. Does Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez know anything at all about the job of a congresswoman? Or does she just talk and talk, parrotty-like, not
understanding a thing she's saying? She's out blaming President Trump for turning illegal aliens into ... illegal
aliens because he's trying to enforce U.S. law. [...] In reality, Trump is doing his job, enforcing U.S. law as it is
currently written by, of all places, Congress. If Ocasio-Cortez doesn't like those laws, well, guess what —
she's the lawmaker who's in a position to change them. Is she trying to do that? There's no evidence for it on
her website. It's quite likely she doesn't even know that that's her own job.
Ocasio-Cortez
Silent On Sri Lanka After Politicizing New Zealand Terror Attacks. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)
has been radio silent on social media about the horrifying Easter day Islamic terrorist attacks on Christians in Sri Lanka
which left over 310 people dead and hundreds more injured. Ocasio-Cortez, who often rushes to politicize tragedies and
scandals, has not posted about the deadly terror attacks that targeted Christian churches on either of her verified Twitter
accounts, Instagram accounts, or Facebook accounts at the time this report was created at approximately 4 a.m. EST on
Tuesday [4/23/2019].
Ocasio-Cortez
claim that Trump wants to privatize VA is 'nonsense,' VA secretary tells Fox. Secretary of Veterans Affairs
Robert Wilkie struck back at Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., on Wednesday [4/24/2019], calling her accusations
that the Trump administration wants to privatize the VA "nonsense." [...] "If we are privatizing VA, we are going about it in
a very strange way," Wilkie said. "I presented to the Congress a $220 billion budget, the largest budget in the
history of the department. We are undergoing basic reforms to make the VA a modern, 21st-century health care administration.
But what we are doing is opening the aperture on choice, so that our veterans remain at the center their own health care, and
if VA can provide what they need, we will give them the opportunity to go out into the private sector."
Ocasio-Cortez
declares VA 'isn't broken,' already provides top-notch care. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.,
claimed during a recent town hall event that the Department of Veterans Affairs "isn't broken" and is actually providing
"some of the highest quality" care to veterans. "All I can think of is that classic refrain that my parents always
taught me growing up, is that: 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it,'" she said in New York, as part of her argument against
privatizing aspects of the scandal-scarred agency's work.
AOC
praises chronically dysfunctional VA:'If it ain't broke, don't fix it'. Freshman Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is making headlines this week for praising the efficacy of the still-chronically dysfunctional
Department of Veterans Affairs. And by the VA, I mean the people-have-died-waiting-in-line VA. You know, the one that
was subject to recent national scandals involving everything from frivolous purchases to pill mills, to employee theft of
tens of thousands of dollars, to disease outbreaks, to making veterans wait for doctors' appointments. The one whose
acting secretary resigned in disgrace in 2014 amid the mismanagement scandals. Even more astonishing than her praise is
that it came in the context of her arguing against reforming the federal agency.
The Editor says...
I doubt if AOC has ever seen the inside of a VA hospital. In fact, I think it's unlikely that she has ever seen the
outside of a VA hospital.
Citing
Mueller Report, Ocasio-Cortez Says She'll Now Support Tlaib's Impeachment Resolution. Citing Special Counsel
Robert Mueller's report, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said Thursday she would now support a resolution
introduced by fellow freshman Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) last month seeking President Trump's impeachment.
"Mueller's report is clear in pointing to Congress' responsibility in investigating obstruction of justice by the President,"
Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. "It is our job as outlined in Article 1, Sec 2, Clause 5 of the US Constitution."
"As such, I'll be signing onto Rashida Tlaib's impeachment resolution."
AOC
narrates hilariously pie-in-the-sky video to promote her Green New Deal. The video is set from the future, and
begins with an image of Ocasio-Cortez riding a bullet train from New York to D.C., gray streaks in her hair, and windmills in
the landscape. She tells the story as if looking back on how America accomplishes greatness through the initiatives she
has proposed. After giving a brief history on the threat of climate change, the Congresswoman's utopic scenario
includes Democrats taking the Senate and presidency in 2020, "and launch[ing] the Decade of the Green New Deal, a flurry of
legislation that kicked off our social and ecological transformation to save the planet."
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez brands Benjamin Netanyahu a 'Trump-like figure' and says that America should consider cutting military and
economic aid to Israel. Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has slammed Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu for being an authoritarian, 'Trump-like figure' while suggesting that US military and economic aid to
Israel should be cut. The Representative for New York, a rising star in her party, has insisted that the idea of
cutting aid to Israel should 'definitely be on the table'. The 29-year-old has been criticised by the Jewish Democratic
Council of America for the comments, with the organisation saying that US-Israel ties 'must supersede politics'.
Half-full or half-empty? Pelosi:
In Ocasio-Cortez's District, 'Glass of Water Would Win With a D Next to Its Name'. On a trip to the U.K.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi dismissed the idea of democratic socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) being
representative of the Democratic Party. Pelosi addressed questions about how to handle the left wing of her party in the
House during a talk with London School of Economics and Political Science, and she said Ocasio-Cortez needs to understand she
cannot set the agenda. She implied Ocasio-Cortez is failing to appreciate how Democrats need to appeal to the rest of the
country, saying the freshman congresswoman's district could be won by any purported Democrat — living or otherwise.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez tries to drive another New York business out of the city. After a major flap for driving Amazon
out of New York City, something even socialist Mayor Bill de Blasio blamed her for, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is targeting
another New York City business: the New York Post. She's joining hands with a leftist newsstand seller group calling
on all newsstand owners to quit selling the paper because she didn't like its cover story reminding New Yorkers that her
congressional gal pal, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) was trivializing the worst terrorist attack on American
soil — which triggered its greatest damage in New York.
Climate
Change and media hysteria: Twelve years and counting? "The world is going to end in twelve years if we
don't address climate change." Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said it around the middle of January. Several in the media
repeat the fearful works. Very few are brave enough to peg the 29-year-old as a fool. Someone, somewhere who is
not responsible enough to handle sharp objects or walk freely among mentally stable people. There is no third
way: She is a fool or a liar. Or a foolish liar.
Unreal:
AOC Tells Dan Crenshaw to 'Go Do Something' About Terrorism. Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's
response to Republican colleague Rep. Dan Crenshaw (Texas) drew the ire of conservatives for telling the former Navy
SEAL he should "go do something" about terrorism. Crenshaw had initially commented that Omar was the "First member of
Congress to ever describe terrorists who killed thousands of Americans on 9/11 as 'some people who did something,'" which he
called "unbelievable." Quick to defend her friend, the New York lawmaker accused Crenshaw of taking Omar's remarks out
of context and attacked him for not co-sponsoring the 9/11 Victim's Compensation Fund.
Using
"Blackspeech" Instead of Blackface to Skirt a Charge of Racism? This week the National Action Network, an Al
Sharpton event, was held. Almost every Democrat contender running for President in 2020 attended, and spoke.
Representative Alexander Ocasio-Cortez was no exception. Cortez took the floor and stirred up the attendees by
resorting to "blackspeech" as she addressed the crowd. Just like Hillary Clinton did in Alabama as she used the words
of the late Rev. James Cleveland, Cortez put on a stellar Black slow accent as she spoke. It would seem like her
address would have been offensive to those hearing it as she spoke down to the mostly Black crowd, and told them that it was
okay to do menial and ordinary jobs. That in itself should have been enough to draw criticism because she made it sound
as though Blacks should not seek to achieve anything better.
AOC
Hypocritically Slams GOP For "Dangerous Rhetoric" Just A Day After She Put A Trump Official In Danger. Another
day, another instance of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY-14) not practicing what she preaches. On Wednesday
[4/10/2019], the freshman Congresswoman used her favorite social media bullhorn to blast "the GOP" for a fundraising email
sent by an Ohio Republican group that called her a "domestic terrorist."
A Few
Comments on AOC's Climate Blame Game. There has been little change in temperatures over the last few decades in
the areas from which migrant caravans are originating. And only Costa Rica has been below average in terms of
rain — hardly a cause for mass migrations due to climate change. [...] And if man-made climate change is driving
this, it's not showing up in crop production, which in Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Honduras is improving! There is more
food being grown.
Ocasio-Cortez
Says Climate Change Is 'Fueling' The Immigration Crisis. Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
said climate change was a "major factor" behind the wave of migrants making their way to the U.S. southern border. "The
far-right loves to drum up fear [and] resistance to immigrants," Ocasio-Cortez tweeted Tuesday [4/9/2019]. "But have you ever
noticed they never talk about what's causing people to flee their homes in the first place?" "Perhaps that's [because] they'd
be forced to confront 1 major factor fueling global migration: Climate change," Ocasio-Cortez tweeted.

Comes Up With A New Excuse For Her Blaccent. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's speech to a predominantly black
audience Friday was glorious. Apparently trying to come up with some kind of urban swagger, she tossed a bizarre
droning "blaccent" at Al Sharpton's National Action Network conference.
All
She Has Is All She Needs — A Poor Young Bartender In Her Weeds. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spoke this
past Saturday at Rev. Al Sharptongue's National Action Network convention in New York exploiting a Southern drawl
reminiscent of Granny Clinton's "I don't feel no ways tarred". It was egregious pandering, but the ignorant twit clapped
back at her detractors declaring, "As much as the right wants to distort and deflect, I am from the Bronx. I act and
talk like it, especially when I'm fired up and especially when I'm home. It is so hurtful to see how every aspect of my
life is weaponized against me, yet somehow asserted as false at the same time." She later described her "accent" as
code-switching.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez Praises the Washington, D.C. Metro. On Sunday [4/7/2019], Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
(D-N.Y.) praised the Washington, D.C. Metro, apparently oblivious to the fires and horrific management problems the Metro
faces. "DC Metro is pretty good, especially when compared to the MTA lately," Ocasio-Cortez said in a Facebook
"moment," contrasting the D.C. Metro to the New York subway. "It's clear they are investing in public infrastructure
w/modernized train cars, etc." She responded to criticism shortly afterward. "Lots of folks begging to differ on
DC metro being better," the congresswoman added.
Is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Okay? There is one key difference between Ocasio-Cortez and Trump. Trump has been a celebrity for nearly
half a century. AOC has been a celebrity for a bit more than six months. Fame and adoration, as much as many
people seek them, can be dangerous things. They can alter the mind and one's perception of oneself. Many who are
thrust into such a situation have a great deal of trouble dealing with it. It is unclear why Ocasio-Cortez thought it
was a good idea to pour a drink, turn on the camera, and invite the world into her apartment last night [4/3/2019].
Perhaps it was all planned, part of a strategy to make her more relatable. But it doesn't seem that way; it didn't feel
prepared or purposeful. But, as she said herself, AOC is the boss now.

covered yesterday [4/4/2019], AOC did an Instagram Live video that was interesting, to say the least. Aside from crunching
food over a riff about the draft, she got into how the Green New Deal is just like the civil rights movement or something.
She also compares herself to Martin Luther King Jr. for reasons that escape logic.
AOC
Shares "Thoughts" On, Like, The Draft While Crunching Away On Instagram. Setting aside the fact that the way
she phrased her response almost made it seem as though she's under the mistaken impression that we currently do have a draft
(not to mention the intersectional nod to the non-binariness of gender), the expounding through popcorn chomping really
conveys her gravitas, no?

Ocasio-Cortez: 'What We Need to Do is Have a Serious Conversation' About Cow Flatulence. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez (D.-N.Y.) said in a March 29 appearance on MSNBC's "All in With Chris Hayes" that Americans "need to have a
serious conversation" about climate change, including the contribution being made to it by "cow flatulence." [...] "But
actually it's an issue when it comes to contributing to methane," said Ocasio-Cortez, "but that doesn't mean you end
cows. It means that we need — What it means is that we need to innovate and change our grain, our cow grain,
from which you know, they feed in these troughs, that we need to really take a look at regenerative agriculture. Like
these are our solutions."
The Editor says...
I doubt if AOC has ever fed a cow. I doubt if she understands the chemistry inside a cow that results in the emission of methane upon
the completion of its digestive process. Nor do I think she has any idea about what a farmer could feed a cow that would not have
methane as a byproduct. Nor do I believe AOC could adequately explain why methane in the atmosphere is something to be avoided.
Ocasio-Cortez
calls for 'agenda of reparations' as 2020 Dems get on board. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., called
Friday for "examining and pursuing an agenda of reparations" as part of a lengthy list of proposals delivered before an Al
Sharpton-sponsored conference in New York — touting a controversial policy that's increasingly gained support from
the 2020 field of Democratic presidential candidates. Speaking about her cornerstone Green New Deal, which would entail
a massive government-led overhaul of the economy and U.S. energy usage, the freshman Democrat also said the plan does not
"shy away from bold conversations of health care, housing and education as human rights, of living wages and dignified work,
of policy that isn't just drafted with the next election in mind but also with the next generation in mind."
AOC
ripped by Obama-era Border Patrol chief for 'reckless' rhetoric. Former U.S. Border Patrol chief Mark Morgan
says he must "restrain" himself while addressing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's claim that agents "cage children at the
border and inject them with drugs" out of "hatred." The Obama-era official sat down with Fox News' Tucker Carlson
Thursday evening [4/4/2019] when a recent Instagram Live post by the New York Democrat was addressed. "I'm not trying
to cage children at the border and inject them with drugs. That's not a mistake, that's just hatred," Ms. Ocasio-Cortez
told supporters on social media. Mr. Morgan, who spoke to lawmakers this week on the border crisis, blasted
Ms. Ocasio-Cortez for "reckless and irresponsible" rhetoric.
'We Don't
Talk Like That': Ocasio-Cortez Accused Of Putting On Black 'Accent' At NAN Conference. Democratic New York
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez seemed to use a forced accent during a speech to the National Action Network convention
Friday [4/5/2019]. [...] Ironically, while Al Sharpton introduced Ocasio-Cortez to Friday's event, then Democratic
presidential nominee Hillary Clinton switched up her usual accent when speaking to the civil rights activist in 2016.
Ocasio-Cortez
attacks black rising star at Fox News — and face-plants. The fame resulting from the huge amount of
media attention paid to Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has become a dangerous drug for her. Completely unaware
of the limitations of her education and knowledge base, she doesn't hesitate to shoot off her mouth before getting her facts
straight. And she blames Fox News for her rising unfavorability in polling. So it was not too surprising that she
shot off a tweet criticizing Lawrence Jones, who appears to be being groomed for big things at Fox News, on utterly fatuous
grounds. If you don't recognize his name, I suspect that you will become familiar with him the coming months and years.
[...] Ocasio-Cortez is right to fear him. He eats progressive stupidity for breakfast.
Ocasio-Cortez:
Draft 'All Genders' for the Military. The Pentagon should draft all "genders," not just men and women,
according to New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. She casually spotlighted her revolutionary rejection of
biology, sex, and the male-or-female society during a live Facebook chat in which she was asked about her views on the
military draft. "As long as we have a draft, I support people of all genders being drafted," she said.
AOC
adopts Southern drawl to talk to black audience. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., appeared to
imitate a Southern accent in a speech to a predominantly black audience at Al Sharpton's National Action Network conference
in New York City on Friday [4/5/2019]. "This is what building power looks like, this is what changing the country looks
like," Ocasio-Cortez said, exaggerating and drawing out vowels in a distinct change from her usual pronunciation.
Ocasio-Cortez
plays victim card after getting busted for fake accent, pandering to black audience. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., just can't help herself, it seems. A la Hillary Clinton, the self-declared democratic
socialist unpacked a previously not heard accent Friday evening while speaking to a predominantly black audience at the
annual convention of Al Sharpton's National Action Network. An accent that took on a curious southern drawl.
Childish
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Talks With Her Mouth Stuffed With Popcorn, Wipes Hands on Pants as She Talks US Military Draft
Policy. Freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) did an Instagram livestream last Wednesday night in
which she talked policy while eating popcorn, sipping wine and building Ikea furniture. While several video clips have
been posted and discussed, the segment posted by the NRSC's Matt Whitlock on Ocasio-Cortez talking about the military draft
shows her behaving more like a self-absorbed teenage drama queen live streaming from her bedroom at her parents' house than a
grown up Member of Congress.
Ocasio-Cortez
slammed as 'financially illiterate' at Sharpton event over Amazon, faces calls to be ousted from office. Hours
before Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called for an "agenda of reparations" at an Al Sharpton-sponsored event in New York on
Friday, she was slammed as "financially illiterate" at the same conference for killing the Amazon deal with the state.
Ocasio-Cortez spoke to the crowd at the National Action Network, saying her Green New Deal will consider reparations to black
Americans for slavery in addition to the radical overhaul of the economy in a bid to combat climate change. But at the
same conference, hours before Ocasio-Cortez's speech, an investor ripped those who opposed the Amazon deal with the state
that would have generated billions in tax revenue and 25,000 jobs.
Estupida-Cortez
Panders to Blacks with Phony Accent. Why do Democrats insult Black Americans by attempting to pander to them
with phony accents? When speaking to Black audiences, they use an obviously fake and contrived accent to mimic the way
they believe Black Americans talk. I find it offensive and disgusting, and I'm not even Black! Hillary Clinton
did it. Barack Obama did it. Now, Alexandria Estupida-Cortez wants in on the action. [Video clip]
AOC
mocked for 'accent' at Sharpton event; compared to Hillary Clinton. U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,
D-N.Y., faced backlash Friday after seeming to develop a new accent while speaking to a predominantly black audience in New
York City. In an appearance at the annual convention of the Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network, the
freshman congresswoman responded to those who've invoked her past employment as a bartender in what she said were attempts to
delegitimize her status as an elected official. "I'm proud to be a bartender. Ain't nothing wrong with that,"
Ocasio-Cortez said.
Ocasio-Cortez
Totally Stammers Through, Like, Diatribe Against, You Know, Uh, Trump Administration. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez is a member of the House Oversight Committee. Seriously. The 29-year-old former bartender who has
been a member of Congress for less than three months sits on one of the most important committees in government (yet she
still finds time to complain about $7 croissants at LaGuardia Airport).
Ocasio-Cortez
Violated Campaign Finance Laws With PAC Scheme, FEC Complaint Alleges. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
(D-N.Y.) accepted excessive campaign contributions and violated reporting rules by accepting undervalued services from a
company run by her campaign manager, a complaint to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) alleged. The campaign
manager, Saikat Chakrabarti, set up the company, Brand New Congress LLC, which was paid $170,000 by Ocasio-Cortez and 12
other "far-left progressive Democratic candidates," according to the April 1 complaint filed by the Coolidge-Reagan
Foundation, a conservative nonprofit.
AOC
tells Trump he has no choice over tax returns: 'We didn't ask you'. House Ways and Means Committee Chairman
Richard Neal, D-Mass., submitted a request Wednesday [4/3/2019] for six years' worth of Trump's personal and business tax
returns, setting up a potential major legal conflict with the administration. Democrats believe the tax information
could give them insight into any potential ethical or legal conflicts of interest Trump may have.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez hit with FEC complaint for alleged 'subsidy scheme'. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.,
has been hit with another Federal Election Commission (FEC) complaint, this one alleging she and her campaign manager
operated a "subsidy scheme" that ran afoul of campaign finance laws. The crux of the complaint, which was given
exclusively to Fox News in advance of its filing Wednesday, accused Ocasio-Cortez and her campaign manager, Saikat
Chakrabarti, of overseeing a "shadowy web" of political action committees (PACs) that allowed them to raise more cash than
they could have legally. It also alleged that a limited liability company (LLC) was created to avoid federal
expenditure requirements by offering Ocasio-Cortez and other Democratic candidates political consulting services at a price
so low that the company apparently shut down before the election was even over.
Amateur
Hour in the Democrat Primaries. The Green New Deal, brain child of Congressperson Alexandria Cortez, has been
backed by all the candidates except John Delaney of Maryland. Cortez is a lightweight completely over her head when
discussing any subject, with the exception of bartending, her previous job. I literally cringe whenever Cortez speaks
about anything. The Green New Deal would include guaranteed jobs, a push for "net-zero greenhouse gas emissions," and a
super ambiguous promise of "access to nature."
Sandy
O's Credibility Problem. The introductory "key part" of her 129-second speech, according to [Chris] Cillizza,
contains the following: ["]When we talk about concern for the environment as an elitist concern, one year ago I
was waitressing in a taco shop in downtown Manhattan. I just got health insurance for the first time a month ago.
This is not an elitist issue.["] This is a woman with a degree in economics and international relations from
Boston University, who graduated in 2011. [...] Yet seven years after having graduated, she was waitressing in taco shop.
Now, nothing against waitresses in taco shops. But it's safe to say that a woman in her late twenties serving tacos
wouldn't be the first person you might ask for financial advice, much less give her your wallet to spend your money how she
thinks is wisest.
Do they not teach history at Boston University? Alexandria
Oscasio-Cortez is slammed on social media for claiming the GOP changed the Constitution to prevent FDR being re-elected.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., has incorrectly asserted that Republicans in Congress amended the Constitution to kick President
Franklin Delano Roosevelt out of office. 'They had to amend the Constitution of the United States to make sure Roosevelt did not get
reelected,' Ocasio-Cortez said Friday during a night hall event with MSNBC with Chris Hayes. Ocasio-Cortez was referring to the
22nd Amendment of the Constitution which passed in 1947. [...] However, FDR, served for 12 years as the 32nd president of the United
States from 1933 until his death in 1945.
Ocasio-Cortez's
History Lesson. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wallows in ignorance the depth of which is hard to fathom. The
fact that this woman graduated from high school and college is an ongoing rebuke to our educational system. Her most
recent howler related to the 22nd Amendment, which limits presidents to two terms in office. AOC helpfully explained
that it was passed in order to prevent the re-election of Franklin Roosevelt.
AOC: Our Side Doesn't
Name-Call Like Those Xenophobic, White Supremacists On The Right. MSNBC hosted a town hall event Friday night
[3/29/2019] with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez discussing her Green New Deal. During a discussion in the second segment of
the event, former Republican Congressman Bob Inglis suggested the left was in danger of becoming the thing it hated most,
i.e. the Tea Party. [...] After a bit of rambling, she added, "Here's a really big difference. The Koch Brothers funded
the Tea Party and everyday people funded my campaign." This was met with wild applause. Chris Hayes did not point
out that AOC had just proven Rep. Inglis's point. Literally one sentence after arguing "we're not calling anyone
names" she called the Tea Party xenophobic, white supremacist, and puppets for billionaires. Her entire answer was
shrill name calling and the crowd's reaction was really applause for themselves. They're better people than those
deplorables who call people names.
'Her
heart is not in The Bronx': Ocasio-Cortez's constituents turn against her. Amid her zeal to save the world with
the Green New Deal, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has ignored residents in her own Bronx back yard. "I thought AOC
would be our savior, but that's not the case," complained Roxanne Delgado, a local activist who said she has tried for months
to get in touch with the congresswoman for help saving an animal shelter and to clean up parks in the district.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez Blames FOX, GOP, Dark Money Conspiracy, and Democrats, for Her 23 Percent Approval Rating.
Socialist freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) sees a conspiracy between Fox News, Republicans, the Mercers,
dark money — and fellow Democrats — as the driving force behind her crushing unpopularity. A new
Quinnipiac poll published Thursday [3/28/2019] found her with just a 23 percent approval rating overall and underwater
across all demographics except Democrats. But even then she does not have the approval of a majority of Democrats.
The 20
Best Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Memes. These days, all it takes to be a "star" in politics is a pretty face, a
loud voice, a sense of grievance, and a level of confidence completely unjustified by your accomplishments or brainpower.
Socialist darling Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez fits this mold perfectly. If Helen of Troy was the face that launched a
thousand ships, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has the brain that launched a thousand memes.
Ocasio-Cortez
erupts in unhinged rant after criticism of her Green New Deal. Life in the public spotlight is uncomfortable
for anyone, all the more so for the young and immature who are subject to relentless criticism by ideological opponents.
Add in absolute moral certainty and a limited command of facts and ideas, and the result is lashing out in fury with arguments
that hold no water. Yesterday [3/27/2019], during a committee meeting of House Financial Services Committee, Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez's utopian and impossibly expensive Green New deal was criticized by Sean Duffy (R-Wis.) and herself was not
pleased. She responded with an arm-flailing angry response that proved she has no idea of the difference between
pollution by toxic substances and the phony "pollution" that it is claimed CO2 constitutes, despite the fact that it is
the very basis of our life cycle.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez, queen of annoying. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is about as annoying as they come.
Even if she weren't a socialist, and in saner times, therefore automatically barred from holding a political position of
power in the U.S. government, her patronizing, condescending, holier-than-thou, I know better than you, finger-wagging
bravado would seem to disqualify her from the position of humble servant — which, after all, is what a lawmaker on
Capitol Hill is supposed to be, at root. That's how the Founding Fathers foresaw it. That's how a nation with an
"of, by and for the people" form of governance is supposed to operate.
And a Bronx Bartender Shall Lead
Them? The Cortez girl, it's been noted, is 29 going on 14. Always in error but never in doubt, La Cortez
has moved the left goalpost so far out that what was considered politically lunatic and third-rail just a decade ago is now
almost flavor-of-the-month among a large fraction of Democrats, and not just the more excitable ones. La Cortez appears
to have held a motley of jobs since graduating from Boston University in 2011 with a degree in international relations and —
can you feature it? — economics. (Boy, does BU have some 'splaining to do.) But her main job, and the one she
was probably best and most useful at, appears to have been as a bartender. The delectables she served up then were more
agreeable than the crackpot ideas she serves up now.
Ocasio-Cortez
reveals how she plans to implement gun, immigration change without Congress. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
(D-N.Y.) went viral this month for grilling Wells Fargo CEO Timothy Sloan, who was testifying before the House Financial
Services Committee in a hearing meant to hold "megabanks" accountable. Ocasio-Cortez questioned Sloan why Wells Fargo
was "involved in the caging of children and financing the caging of children." The freshman lawmaker even later
suggested Wells Fargo should be held partially liable for environmental clean-ups because the bank finances projects that
counter the climate change agenda. Now, according to Politico, Ocasio-Cortez and other progressive lawmakers plan to
use similar tactics to advance their anti-Second Amendment agenda and circumvent the legislative process.
Entitled:
Ocasio-Cortez Whines She's Never Seen Prosperity 'In My Adult Life'. Quoted in a sprawling, 3,600 word
hagiography in Time magazine, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) who is nothing if not a person who acts entitled all
the time, whined that she has never seen American prosperity "in my adult life." [...] Scroll down to the third paragraph of
the 3,600 word puff piece and there is this bald-faced admission: "At the same time, she's a freshman legislator trying
to get the hang of her first big full-time job." The piece notes that Ocasio-Cortez took out student loans to enroll at
Boston University, graduating in 2011 with a degree in economics and international relations, incurring roughly $25,000 in
student loan debt. [...] Thus Ocasio-Cortez's "first big full-time job" was living off the taxpayer dole as a member of Congress.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez flips out over mocking of her name. What's in a name? Everything for Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez. The New York Democrat blasted Fox News host Laura Ingraham and her guest for mocking how she pronounced
her name and saying she does so because it's a "Latina thing." "If by 'the Latina thing,' she means I actually do the
work instead of just talk about it, then yeah, I'm doing 'the Latina thing,'" she wrote on her Twitter page late Wednesday
[3/20/2019]. "Unless of course she's talking about being multilingual, which we know isn't a 'Latina thing.' It's
a '21st century' thing." Ocasio-Cortez also said that Fox News' hosts incorrectly pronounce her name as "Cortez,"
because that sounds "more 'stereotypically' Hispanic + probably incites more 'anxiety' for them."
How Do You Solve
a Problem like AOC? [Democrat Joe] Crowley, one of the last of the Irish machine politicians, had safely sailed
to reelection to the House for a decade, often without even a primary challenger. But the 29-year-old AOC, as she is
colloquially known, beat him in the primary with 57 percent of the vote — a number that sounds impressive until
you realize that it was a mere 15,897 votes to Crowley's 11,761, a difference of 4,136 votes. In the foregone-conclusion
general election, she beat the Republican tomato can, Anthony Pappas, 110,000 to 18,000. Pappas was so indifferent to
the outcome that he brushed aside offers to help and did not actively campaign. Naturally, the media went wild
immediately. Literally overnight, this former intern for Ted Kennedy, an ethnic Puerto Rican, became a national
celebrity; you can tell the stories were prepped and in the can once her victory was assured.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez Lied About Her Test Scores To A Public Education Group. AOC — who is supposed to be
some intellectual we simply can't understand — had to lie about her test scores in order to prove a point.
She is currently trying her best to prove my theory that the Republican Party has a sleeper cell program that was activated
the moment Donald Trump took office in order to ensure the future of the Republican Party. She is doing a stellar job.
Ocasio-Cortez
Attends NY Panel Encouraging Boycott of Standardized Tests. [Scroll down] During her remarks,
Ocasio-Cortez claimed her teaches doubted her academic abilities until she took a "high-stakes" test and placed in the "99th
percentile." According to Ravitch, however, Ocasio-Cortez's claim sparked "controversy" during the event. In a
blog post generally praising the congresswoman, Ravitch notes Ocasio-Cortez could not be telling the truth about her test
experience. The "high-stakes" test, she explains, is not scored by percentile.
Ocasio-Cortez's
Team Quietly Attempting To Clean Up Illegal Campaign Finance Activities. Over the last month a great deal of
information has emerged regarding the financial relationship between freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), her
chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti, the Justice Democrats PAC, and Brand New Congress (both the PAC and the LLC). The
convoluted web of transactions seem designed to sidestep campaign finance contribution limits and reporting requirements, and
have prompted at least one FEC complaint against AOC and Chakrabarti.
AOC:
My Approval-Rating Drop Is The Result Of Racism And Sexism (And Fox News). Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez continues
to be a gift to the right. As Allahpundit noted earlier today, AOC's approval rating is down in New York. She's
13 points underwater overall, but it's not just Republicans who are turned off by her. She's also 29 points underwater
with Independents in the state. Even among Democrats she now has a 30 percent disapproval rate. Could it be that
her socialist extremism isn't playing that well, even in her own left-leaning state?
Ocasio-Cortez
Joins De Blasio In Call To Punish Asian Students. The battle over the admissions standards at New York City's
elite public high schools has heated up again. [...] At issue is the fact that these hyper-competitive high schools consider
only a test score in deciding admissions. This meritocracy has created some of the best high schools in the world.
They would have you believe that wealthy white parents game the system by hiring expensive tutors, but while they might, it's
not working. In fact, wealthy white kids are not dominating this process at all.
If
$15 Minimum Wage Is Such a Good Idea, Why Did AOC's Bar Close Down? The brilliant Thomas Sowell, when in
college, considered himself a Marxist. Asked what changed him, Sowell said, "Evidence." After completing undergrad
at Harvard and obtaining a master's in economics, Sowell landed a summer internship with the Department of Labor. While
there, he researched the impact of minimum wage law on employment. Sowell learned two things, both of which he found
startling. First, minimum wage laws create job loss by pricing the unskilled out of the labor force.
Second, Sowell discovered that "the people in the labor department really were not interested in that, because the
administration of the minimum wage was supplying one-third of the money that was keeping the labor department going. ... I
realized that institutions have their own agendas and their own incentives." In short, Sowell found that the Department of
Labor did not care about the real-world effects of the minimum wage law. He credits this experience, this search for
evidence, with having the "biggest" impact on his thinking.
Ocasio-Cortez
Cites SPLC to Blame Trump for Abetting White Supremacy. On Monday [3/18/2019], Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.)
suggested that President Donald Trump was abetting white supremacist terror by looking "the other way" after the mosque shooting in
Christchurch, New Zealand. In doing so, she retweeted the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a far-left smear group that demonizes
conservatives and Christians and has worked overtime to connect Trump to "hate." Ocasio-Cortez retweeted the SPLC tweet quoting
Trump saying he doesn't see white nationalism as a rising threat around the world.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez and the Progressive University. How is it, considering the economic nonsense she spouts, that
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could graduate cum laude from Boston University, with a degree in international
relations and economics? Worse, how is it that her generation could embrace the very economic system that destroyed
Eastern Europe and collapsed Venezuela, which sixty years ago was one of the top three economies in the world?
Ocasio-Cortez
and top aide officially removed from board of Justice Democrats PAC after FEC complaint. Democratic
Rep. Alexandria-Ocasio Cortez and her top aide are no longer board members of the outside PAC credited with
orchestrating her political rise, according to a corporate document filed Friday to a Washington, D.C. agency. The New
York Democrat and her chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti, who served as her campaign chair, joined the board of Justice
Democrats in December 2017, according to the political action committee's website. It also said the two held "legal
control over the entity" at the same time it was playing a key role in supporting Ocasio-Cortez's campaign prior to her shock
victory over incumbent Democratic Rep. Joe Crowley in June 2018.
A
Lesson in Socialism for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. [Scroll down] This is really the thrust of
Ocasio-Cortez's socialist agenda: man must not labor for our sustenance, and man can change the nature of the human condition
from tragic to utopian. Through governmental planning and positive legislation, Ocasio-Cortez can guarantee everyone
jobs and pay people not for their labor, but for simply existing, creating universal happiness in her socialist paradise.
This is exactly what Rudyard Kipling meant in his poem "The Gods of the Copybook Headings" (1919): "And that after this
is accomplished, and the brave new world begins / When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins."
My Unfair Lady.
AOC Denies Being a Puppet Candidate, She's Not Being Entirely Truthful. Amid growing revelations surrounding Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez as a puppet candidate, enlisted by a group of far-left activists, Ms. AOC tweets a firm denial. [...]
Unfortunately, the AOC denial breaks an Alinsky rule. When a leftist breaks an Alinsky rule, the opposite of their
claim is generally accurate; counter-intuitively affirming a stronger likelihood Representative AOC is actually steered by a
group of leftists. The evidence to support the puppet proposition is quite strong, albeit somewhat overblown in
construct; and unfortunately for Ms. AOC, the evidence that does exist completely reconciles what is factually
visible. However, the issues are more nuanced that most are willing to admit. [Video clip]
Poll
shows Trump now more popular than Ocasio-Cortez in New York. Socialist "it girl" Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez is no match for President Trump on the popularity front in their mutual home state of New York. [...] It's also
an indicator of the obvious, given that this is New York, a practical state often focused on whether things work or
not: Trump creates jobs. Ocasio-Cortez kills them off.
Ocasio-Cortez
Explodes After Learning Her 'Unfavorable' Rating Has Skyrocketed. Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's
"unfavorable" rating has skyrocketed now that she has become more well-known, according to a new poll from left-leaning
Gallup. The poll, released on Friday [3/15/2019], found that the increase in Ocasio-Cortez's "unfavorable" rating
in recent months has more than doubled her increase in "favorable ratings." "Half of U.S. adults were unfamiliar
with or had no opinion of her in September after her seismic primary win over the summer, but that figure has shrunk to 29%
today," Gallup reported. "But the increased visibility has not improved her overall standing with Americans."
At least she didn't blame global warming. Ocasio-Cortez
Blames Low Favorability on Racism, Sexism, Fox News. New York Democratic congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
on Monday shared a tweet blaming her low favorability numbers in a newly released poll on bigotry and Fox News. A Siena
College poll of New York State voters found that Ocasio-Cortez's favorability is underwater, with 31 percent viewing her
favorably and 44 percent viewing her unfavorably. Those results mirror national polling from Gallup and Fox News, which
found that Ocasio-Cortez has a net approval rating of -10 and -13 points, respectively. Ocasio-Cortez notably
struggles even with some members of her own party, with 30 percent of New York Democrats viewing her unfavorably.
Poll
Shows Glowing Media Coverage Backfired on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
(D-NY) is becoming more unpopular as the American people get to know her. According to the latest national polling from
Gallup, the freshman congresswoman and social media superstar is not wearing well at all, despite all the gushing
coverage she receives from the establishment media. At the national level, she is already much better known than most
politicians. This will surprise no one who watches cable news, but back in September, a full 50 percent of
those polled said they never heard of her.
If "constituents" means "members of the electorate," I hope she's wrong. Ocasio-Cortez:
Illegal Aliens Are 'My Constituents'. Freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) referred to
illegal immigrants as her "constituents" during a Thursday [3/14/2019] House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing.
Ocasio-Cortez was questioning Wilbur Ross, President Donald Trump's secretary of commerce, when she made the statement.
She began by referencing remarks Republican Kris Kobach made while he was Kansas secretary of state. Kobach encouraged
Trump early on in his administration to add a 2020 consensus question about citizenship. "Kobach said, 'I raised the
issue with the president shortly after he was inaugurated' and 'he was absolutely interested in this,'" Ocasio-Cortez
said. "Shortly thereafter, in April of 2017, Steve Bannon asked you to speak with Mr. Kobach about his 'ideas
about including a citizenship question on the 2020 decennial census.'" Ross acknowledged he did speak with Kobach early
on in the administration, but he was cut off by Ocasio-Cortez before he could clarify what exactly the conversation was about.
Ocasio-Cortez's
'unfavorable' rating skyrockets, with most people viewing her negatively: poll. U.S. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez's unfavorable rating has spiked after just months in Congress, with most of the public viewing her negatively
rather than favorably, a new poll shows. The New York Democrat shot to fame amid the party's lurch to the left and
embracement of socialist policies such as the Green New Deal, yet the more people learned about the 29-year-old freshman
congresswoman, the more they were turned off by her.
Poor
Ocasio-Cortez complains about her workload. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is upset that her new job in
Congress — which mostly consists of talking — is too demanding. We can infer from her shock the night
that she won her primary battle against the ten-term incumbent that she defeated (and therefore presumptively won the seat in the
general election) that she didn't really expect to assume the responsibility of a member of the House of Representatives.
Which might explain her embarrassing questioning of the president of Wells Fargo Bank Wednesday [3/13/2019] [.]
She's not dumb! That's
a conspiracy theory!. Just hours before the incredibly dumb Congresswoman from the State of Twitter bashed
people for praying, her personal Rasputin went on Twitter to defend her brilliance. [...] Of course, what the Man Behind the
Curtain is referring to is a video that was released a while ago arguing that Congresswoman Clap-Back is nothing but a puppet
and her Chief of Staff is the "brains" behind the operation. I don't know if it's true or not. But if Chakrabarti
really is the "brains" behind her speeches and committee questions (and her tweets), he's not helping things. Because
the dumb girl is still coming off as mind-bogglingly dumb.
Wallowing
In Stupidity. Now that we now that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her friends are running the Democratic Party,
or wielding a veto power over the party leaders, attention must be paid. Attention comes at a cost, for her musings
present an extended case study in stupidity. She spouts stupidity in stream of consciousness form. How long
before we are treated to a little red book compiling quotations from Chairman AOC?
AOC:
To hell with your 'thoughts and prayers' for victims of New Zealand massacre. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is mad
again. Her perpetual outrage at the world around her is one of her more endearing qualities — that and her wide-eyed innocence
and towering ignorance. AOC criticized the prime minister of New Zealand who asked for the world's "thoughts and prayers" following
the mosque massacre that killed 49 in Christchurch. This is perfectly understandable. "Thoughts and prayers" involve the two
least favorite things for the left; thinking and praying.
Ocasio-Cortez
hits NRA after New Zealand shooting: 'What good are your thoughts and prayers?'. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
(D-N.Y.) on Friday tore into the National Rifle Association (NRA) after at least one gunman opened fire at two New Zealand
mosques, leaving at least 49 people dead. The New York lawmaker condemned the fatal attack on Twitter, focusing
her message on the American gun group. "At 1st I thought of saying, 'Imagine being told your house of faith isn't safe
anymore.' But I couldn't say 'imagine,'" the lawmaker wrote, citing the deadly shootings at a Charleston, S.C., church, a
Pittsburgh synagogue and a Sutherland Springs, Texas, church. "What good are your thoughts & prayers when they don't even
keep the pews safe?" She added.
Living in the Real
World. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez responded to those who criticized her hypocrisy as a massive consumer of fossil fuels
by saying she is just "living in the world." Well, sort of. In her heavily-cocooned world, it is considered noble to
speculate about banning air travel and murdering all of America's cows. Elsewhere — in what some would call the
real world — people have to worry about getting those cattle through the winter. Ocasio-Cortez is obsessed with
hypothetical global warming, but here in the Midwest we are nearing the end of a brutal winter. For those who live in cities
record snowfalls have been an inconvenience, but on the prairie they threaten lives and livelihoods. Try-State Livestock
News has an article headlined "March Spring Storm in Midwest Causing Major, Ongoing Issues for Ranchers" that includes remarkable
photos and video.
AOC
draws ire ripping 'your thoughts and prayers' after Christchurch mosque shootings. U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,
D-N.Y., slammed those expressing thoughts and prayers for the victims of Friday's [3/15/2019] mass shooting that killed 49 people in
Christchurch, New Zealand. Reacting to remarks made by New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, Ocasio-Cortez took to Twitter and
invoked other mass shootings that took place in houses of worship.
Ocasio-Cortez
again proves she's clueless on economics. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., exposed her economic ignorance again
this week when she argued that bankers should be liable for borrowers' mistakes. During Capitol Hill testimony from Wells Fargo
CEO Timothy Sloan, Ocasio-Cortez contended that if in the event of an oil spill on the Dakota Access Pipeline, which Wells Fargo helped
finance, the bank should be held responsible. "If there was a leak from the Dakota Access Pipeline," Ocasio-Cortez asked
rhetorically, "why shouldn't Wells Fargo pay for the cleanup of it, since it paid for the construction of the pipeline itself?" [...]
Ocasio-Cortez's point betrays a total naïveté about how financing works. Her contention is akin to claiming that a
bank holding a car loan should be responsible if the owner gets into a crash. It's like saying a bank holding a home mortgage
should pay to fix the pipes when they burst.
The Editor says...
Remember, AOC got a university degree cum laude in international relations and economics, yet she apparently
knows very little about economics.
Ocasio-Cortez
is so far out of line that she must surely be a 'bubble'. The South by Southwest Festival has become a gathering point for
left of center politics. Heavily attended by millennials. And guess who emerged as the shining star — Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez of New York — she drew the biggest crowd. It was bigger than the crowd for some presidential candidates!
What she had to say was simply ridiculous. For example, "We don't have to worry about robots taking our jobs because if they did,
it would just give us more time to be creative: to paint, sculpt, or go into space." Tell that to all the youngsters who
no longer get starter-level jobs because, at $15 an hour, technology aces them out. Are they all enjoying a life of
culture? What nonsense. But then AOC got even more ridiculous. She said, "We live in a society where if you don't
have a job, you are left to die."
AOC
Research Staff Fail — Ocasio-Cortez Embarrasses Herself During Finance Committee Hearing. I've seen
people say that Ms. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a hired actor without any cognitive intellect, and needs a script to
avoid embarrassing herself. I thought those claims were overstated, until now. Ms. AOC uses a set of talking
points during a Finance Committee hearing to question the CEO of Wells Fargo Bank. The outcome is, well, rather
stunning. The whole segment is just goofy.
AOC:
You Know, My Experience Tells Me That Being A Banker Is Exactly Like Being A Bartender. My colleagues Brandon
Morse and bonchie have chronicled some of the hilarity brought by Democrat freshman New York representative and all-around
dunderkind, former bartender Alexandria Ocasio Cortez to yesterday's hearing involving Wells Fargo CEO Timothy Sloan.
The overarching theme of Ocasio Cortez's largely incoherent and totally riotous clown act was here insistence that a bank is
responsible for all the actions of its customers.
AOC
Doubles Down On Insane Questioning, Doesn't Understand Liability. Yesterday [3/12/2019], Brandon Morse covered
the hilarious questioning of a Wells Fargo CEO by de-facto Democratic leader Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. In it, she tried
to blame Wells Fargo for the supposed "caging of children" at the border. His answer was classic. [Video clip]
If that were all, it'd have been hilarious enough. But AOC is a giving person so she decided to give us even more ridiculous
fodder in her questioning. For example, Ocasio-Cortez decided to show the world that she has no idea how liability works.
She's
Delusional: AOC Thinks People Having To Work Is a 'Real Problem'. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
(D-NY) made an appearance at SWSX [sic]. During a talk at the conference, the Congresswoman was asked about the threat of
automation and technology eliminating jobs. Her response was strange and not very well thought out. "We should
not be haunted by the specter of being automated out of work," she said, The Verge reported. "We should be
excited by that. But the reason we're not excited by it is because we live in a society where if you don't have a job,
you are left to die. And that is, at its core, our problem."
Meet
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Rasputin. In the space of just a few short months, Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, with
fewer than 16,000 votes in a primary election, went from the role of obscure bartender to perhaps the most famous and
powerful freshman member of Congress ever. She instantly became a media darling who drives ratings and Internet
clicks. Senior Democrats such as Sen. Ed Markey gush over her and edge in to get their picture taken with her as
they appear to hang on her every word. Ocasio-Cortez was given a plum seat on the House Financial Services
Committee. Her placement on the exclusive House Banking Committee, as well as the appointments of other newbie
progressives to top committees was part of a larger deal to re-secure the speakership for Nancy Pelosi ahead of the
midterms. Pelosi agreed to 40 percent progressive representation on the five top House committees. How could this
have happened? Look behind the curtain. You'll find her mysterious chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti, a
well-funded radical left wing activist who, with other veterans of the 2016 Sanders campaign, including "Young Turks" host
Cenk Uygur (later purged over past allegedly sexist, racist, pro-rape statements), established a web of campaign
organizations and LLC's, including Justice Democrats and Brand New Congress. As many as 16 groups were housed in the
same office space in Knoxville, TN, with no apparent legally-required "walls of separation."
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez: The Face of the Left. Leftists teaching children to hate the race that God made them is
evil. White students as young as six years old are outrageously taught that they are born racist, should feel guilty
for their "white privilege" and have a responsibility to pay back blacks. Black students have been taught the same
leftist lies which has created in them victim mindsets, a sense of entitlement and hatred for fellow Americans who are
white. Democrat presidential candidates further white guilt and the lie that blacks are still victims of racist America.
They absurdly want to pay $100 billion in reparations to blacks as payback for slavery. As a black man who is proud to be
an American, I say our country would be far better off if Democrats would stop exploiting race. Stop pandering to black voters
and guilt-tripping white voters with the slavery of our past.
Ocasio-Cortez:
'Capitalism is irredeemable'. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Saturday called capitalism
"irredeemable." "Capitalism is an ideology of capital — the most important thing is the concentration of
capital and to seek and maximize profit," she said during an interview at the South by Southwest conference in Austin, Texas,
according to Bloomberg News. "To me, capitalism is irredeemable," she added, arguing that capitalism's goals come at a
cost to people and the environment, Bloomberg reported.
Ocasio-Cortez
Suggests America Is 'Garbage', Claims Reagan Stirred Conflict Between White Americans and Minorities.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) suggested the current state of America is "garbage" and argued former president
Ronald Reagan stirred up conflict between white Americans and minorities during an appearance at the South by Southwest
Conference in Austin, Texas on Saturday [3/9/2019]. Ocasio-Cortez was asked why more politicians haven't more readily
embraced policies like the Green New Deal, Medicare for All, and a $15 minimum wage.
Ocasio-Cortez's
failed company is a tax deadbeat: warrant filed over unpaid taxes to New York State. Despite being the object
of a huge amount of media attention, few people seem to know that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tried to be an entrepreneur and
fell flat on her face. Her media pals certainly have no interest in publicizing the fact the she embraced socialism
after she proved to be utterly, embarrassingly incompetent at earning her way. [...] In addition to failing at developing
any products that people would voluntarily pay money for, Ocasio-Cortez also failed to keep on top of her tax obligations,
leading to her tax delinquency and eventual warrant issued against her company. In fact, it appears that she let the
company go out of business, and promptly consigned it to the Memory Hole, leaving New York State's tax collectors high and dry.
Who Is Behind The Braying Ass? The Story Of Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez. There's an interesting video below the fold that speaks to the defensible suggestion that AOC
(Alexandria Donkey-Chompers to her friends) is a figurehead who was chosen (almost literally) from central casting to be the
face of some very bad people. Whether the gentleman in the video is correct seems to be of less importance than the
reality that dear old Donkey-Chompers is spewing socialist pablum rechewed for our current crop of poorly educated
idiots. Don't be fooled by your visceral dislike for her. She is relatively attractive, speaks the language of
the college-graduate barrista, and affects the image of a young and earnest "community activist" who is being attacked by the
entrenched interests that want nothing of her unicorns and rainbows world. [Video clip]
Ocasio
Cortez's Venezuela on the Hudson. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez cost 25,000 Amazon jobs that New Yorkers
could ill afford to lose. The year that Cortez won her election, New York suffered the worst population decline of any
other state. Why are they leaving? Some, like Alexandria Ocasio Cortez's mother, are leaving because of high
taxes. "I was paying $10,000 a year in real estate taxes up north. I'm paying $600 a year in Florida," Blanca
Ocasio-Cortez explained. Some claim that nobody leaves New York because of the taxes. Cortez's mother proves them
wrong. But millennials are leaving in record numbers because there are no jobs. New York's under eighteen population
is down 4%. That's not surprising since their unemployment rate is 78% higher than the New York City average. That
leaves 100,000+ New York millennials with no jobs and no future. New York City offers few options for a middle class
outside government work.
AOC
Campaign Emails 'The Jews Are Out To Get Us'. You just can't make this stuff up. At almost the exact same
time Speaker Nancy Pelosi brings an anti-bigotry resolution to the floor for a vote, representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
sends out a campaign email proclaiming the Jews are out to get her.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez's mom shows the socialist disconnect from reality on taxes. Like Sen. Kamala Harris, who was
rebuked by her own father for perpetrating the stereotype of Jamaicans as potheads, socialist Democrat Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez was effectively rebuked by her own mother, who told the Daily Mail she moved to Florida from New York to get
away from all those high taxes.
AOC
Spox Simultaneously Collected Salary From Campaign and Justice Democrats. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's
spokesperson collected nearly $20,000 in overlapping salary payments from the New York Democrat's campaign committee and the
Justice Democrats political action committee over a two-month span last year, filings to the Federal Election Commission
show. Corbin Trent, Ocasio-Cortez's communications director in her Washington, D.C. office, was a leader of the Justice
Democrats, the far-left group behind the freshman Democrat's sharp political rise and surprise upset victory over seasoned
Democratic representative Joseph Crowley. As Trent was acting as a spokesperson for Ocasio-Cortez's campaign last year,
he was receiving a salary from the Justice Democrats PAC. Between September 9, 2017 and October 15, 2018,
$73,000 in salary disbursements were paid to Trent from the group's PAC. Trent began collecting payments from Ocasio-Cortez's
campaign in August 2018 while he was still being compensated from the Justice Democrats PAC.
Federal
Election Commission Complaint: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Aide Hid $1M. An FEC complaint filed Monday [3/4/2019]
charges Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, her Chief of Staff, and others with using two PACs and LLCs to hide hundreds of
thousands in campaign dollars. A Federal Election Commission (FEC) complaint the National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC)
filed Monday [3/4/2019] accused Cortez chief of staff Saikat Chakrabarti of using two PACs (Political Action Committees) he
founded to funnel around $1 million to two of his private companies, according to the Washington Examiner. The
companies may have been used to hide what funds were spent on.
The
Bernie Sanders/Ocasio-Cortez Waking Nightmare. While an ongoing Deep State coup d'état seeks to remove
President Donald Trump from office, Democrat 'progressives' are working a dangerous and devious little coup of their
own. Just two months after being sworn in as New York representative, Bernie Sander's protégé Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez has already replaced Nancy Pelosi as de facto House Speaker, according to the usually spot-on Washington
Examiner. AOC ending up as House Speaker came from a combination of Pelosi losing her grip on her party as the Democrat
Party itself is throwing in with the newly-elected "freshman" socialists.
Ocasio-Cortez
refuses to denounce Maduro when asked. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez demonstrated her notable dancing skills
yesterday by tap-dancing around a question about whether, as a democratic socialist, she would denounce the Maduro
regime. The strongest condemnation she could come up with for a dictator who is starving his people, forcing millions
to flee to market economies that are able to feed them, is "this is absolutely a complex issue." She goes on to caution
against U.S. intervention, which is what really concerns her — not the toll exacted on the Venezuelan people
themselves. All she has are recycled slogans and accusations against Elliott Abrams, President Trump's special
envoy. Because America is the only real problem when it comes to Venezuela.
Ocasio-Cortez:
I Drive Republicans Crazy Because 'I Am as Powerful as a Man'. In a Sunday [3/3/2019] New Yorker
magazine profile, David Remnick read Ocasio-Cortez a quote from a Jezebel writer who said that in politics, "women are often
either characterized as hideous harpies like Hillary Clinton or pretty idiot whose 'craziness is bound up with their ex
appeal." Remnick pointed out that Ocasio-Cortez is "firmly in the latter category." "I feel like I predicted it
from day one," Ocasio-Cortez told Remnick. "The idea that a woman can be as powerful as a man is something that our
society can't deal with. But I am as powerful as a man and it drives them crazy."
AOC
Chief of Staff Caught Using Sketchy PAC Activity for Dark Money Scheme. Mr. Saikat Chakrabarti, the
chief-of-staff for Ms. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, has been caught using sketchy financial PAC constructs to construct
dark money schemes. [...] To be fair, all of the best corrupt capitalists participate in this PAC scheme. However, it
does lend to a particular bit of irony for the freshman socialist to be advocating for her new system of wealth distribution
while utilizing the sketchy financial benefits of an unlawful dark money scheme constructed for personal benefit. But
wait, it gets worse (or better), when you overlay AOC's statements from a recent committee finance conversation about dark
money and the exploitation of PAC's. No, seriously... you gotta take a minute to absorb this irony. [Video clip]
Ocasio-Cortez
and her puppet-master Chakrabarti Scandal #2: A million bucks is unaccounted for. Money raised from donors by
two political action committees (at least one of them problematic) was mysteriously "transferred" to two private corporations
(LLCs) controlled by Saikat Chakrabarti, the founder of Justice Democrats, the group that recruited, trained, and ran the
campaign that got Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez elected to Congress. There is no record of those private corporations
providing services in exchange for the donations, which raises the question of what was done with this money.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez Says She Would Have Opposed Use of Force After 9/11. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)
tweeted Monday evening that she would have voted against the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) after the
September 11, 2001 terror attacks. Ocasio-Cortez was responding to tweets by fellow Democrat Rep. Juan
Vargas (D-CA), who criticized Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) for her repeated use of antisemitic rhetoric.
Who
Is Paying for Sandy O? In Hollywood, stars are launched, not "discovered" by magic. They represent huge
studio investments. Launch the wrong star, and somebody loses a ton of money. Hollywood is not in biz to lose
money. So here is the puzzle. Alexandria O-C, AKA Sandy O, is suddenly rising to high headline status, followed
by a gazillion Twitter-heads, including some actual human beings, perhaps, and it all happened with amazing speed. Just
as the Dem field for 2020 is forming. What a coincidence. It's just like the miraculous rise of that other Big
Star in Demo politics, one Barack Hussein Obama.
It's
already Speaker Ocasio-Cortez. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is now setting the Democratic agenda
in both houses of Congress. You don't believe us? Witness how, with the aid of a friendly media that seems to
enjoy her ignorant tongue-lashings as much as it bristles at President Trump's, Ocasio-Cortez lured six Democratic senators
running for president into a trap that could well cost the party their White House. They committed to her insane,
embarrassingly half-baked Green New Deal proposal and will soon be forced to vote for a resolution supporting it. In
the House, things are just as bad. On Wednesday, Ocasio-Cortez was giving orders to House Democrats behind closed doors
on how they are to vote, lest they face a primary challenge next year backed by her wealthy chief-of-staff and his super PAC.
New
FEC Complaint Filed Against AOC's Chief Of Staff. The Washington Examiner reports that an FEC complaint has
been filed today against Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez' Chief of Staff, Saikat Chakrabarti, questioning the financial arrangements
between two PACs and two LLCs that he controls. [...] Money was raised by the PACs and then transferred to the LLCs which
were not required by law to designate who received the money. In all, hundreds of thousands of dollars were
transferred between the PACs and the LLCs.
Ocasio-Cortez,
chief of staff illegally moved $885K in campaign contributions 'off the books,' FEC complaint alleges. ew York
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Saikat Chakrabarti, the progressive firebrand's multimillionaire chief of staff,
apparently violated campaign finance law by funneling nearly $1 million in contributions from political action committees
Chakrabarti established to private companies that he also controlled, according to an explosive complaint filed Monday with
the Federal Election Commission (FEC) and obtained by Fox News.
AOC's
Chief of Staff Funneled Big Money From PACs to Private Corporations to Hide Donations. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez's (D-NY) chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabart, allegedly created multiple LLCs to funnel campaign contributions
from various political action committees (PACs), a Federal Election Commission (FEC) complaint from the National Legal and
Policy Center (NLPC) said. According to the NLPC, Chakrabarti's entity, Brand New Congress LLC, 'served as a "cutout,'
for at least $885,735 received from Ocasio-Cortez's campaign and two federal political action committees, Brand New Congress
PAC and Justice Democrats PAC." Under the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, all expenditures of $200 or more are
required to be reported to the FEC. It appears that this structure was established to skirt FEC requirements on PAC
donations, which are limited to $5,000 per election cycle.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez chief of staff accused of hiding more than $1 million in campaign cash. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez's top aide illegally funneled campaign donations to two companies he owned, according to a complaint filed
Monday with the Federal Elections Commission. Saikat Chakrabarti set up Brand New Congress PAC to collect and bundle
donations for newbie politicians including Ms. Ocasio-Cortez. He then diverted more than $1 million to two of his
companies that did campaign work, skirting reporting requirements, said the complaint by the National Legal and Policy Center.
AOC's
chief of staff ran $1M slush fund by diverting campaign cash to his own companies. Two political action committees
founded by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's top aide funneled over $1 million in political donations into two of his own
private companies, according to a complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission on Monday [3/4/2019]. The cash
transfers from the PACs — overseen by Saikat Chakrabarti, the freshman socialist Democrat's chief of staff —
run counter to her pledges to increase transparency and reduce the influence of "dark money" in politics. Chakrabarti's
companies appear to have been set up for the sole purpose of obscuring how the political donations were used.
Ocasio-Cortez's
Mom Left New York Because of High Taxes. Blanca Ocasio-Cortez, the mother of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
(D., N.Y.), said in a new interview that she moved from New York to Florida to pay less in taxes. Blanca told the Daily
Mail about the family's financial difficulties after her husband, Sergio, passed away, and how she faced foreclosure
twice. "It was scary," Blanca said. "I had to take medicine I was so scared. I had to stop paying for the
mortgage for almost a year. I was expecting someone knocking on the door to kick me out at any time. There were
even real estate people coming around to take photos of the house for when it was going to be auctioned. The worst is
that I only had $50,000 left to pay on the loan." Blanca eventually made a deal with the bank to avoid eviction.
Ocasio-Cortez's
home cooking video contradicts address claims. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is still spinning tales about
her home. Her spokesman on Sunday [3/3/2019] insisted she moved to new digs in mid-February. But the kitchen seen
in a cooking video Ocasio-Cortez posted to Instagram Sunday night matches the one in other cooking videos she posted on Nov. 9
and Dec. 27. So how could she have moved to her new place two weeks ago if she was apparently already living there
last fall?
'Pompous
Little Twit': Greenpeace Co-Founder Unloads On Ocasio-Cortez. Patrick Moore, the co-founder of Greenpeace,
slammed socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Saturday [3/2/2019] for being a hypocrite over living a
lifestyle that does not align with her extremist views on climate change. Moore, who has a Ph.D. in ecology, called out
Ocasio-Cortez after she mocked a New York Post article that highlighted her numerous flights and car travel —
which are things she attacked in her Green New Deal.
Co-Founder
of Greenpeace Rips Ocasio Cortez. Patrick Moore, the co-founder of Greenpeace, lectured Democrat darling and
chatterbox Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on the rules of life. Moore opened up with the best line of the week:
"Pompous little twit." Then he went on to explain the impossibility of heating homes without fossil fuels.
Former
ICE Director Explodes! Blasts Ocasio-Cortez for Rank Lies and Ignorance on ICE. Democrat Socialist
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez felt a bit feisty on Saturday [3/2/2019]. The Socialist Democrat accused ICE of
injecting children with unknown substances and raping women. [Tweet] And AOC blamed ICE for children dying
in custody after the kids were dragged through a blistering desert by the parents before the entered the US.
Pigs on Two
Legs Turn on Each Other. Recently Ocasio-Cortez attacked former Democratic vice-presidential candidate and
long-time Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman for not supporting her Green New Deal. Ocasio-Cortez simply Trotskyized
Lieberman as someone of so little importance that the new Democrat 29-year-old had never even heard of him: "New party,
who dis?" Ocasio-Cortez, who now calls herself the "boss" in the matter of the porcine revolutionary leader "Napoleon" in
Orwell's Animal Farm, now claims that she is taking names and is making a "list" of counterrevolutionary "moderate"
progressives (think of the ostracized "Snowball" of Animal Farm) who do unmentionable things like voting not to
allow illegal aliens to purchase guns.
Ocasio-Cortez
responds after report accuses her of 'Green New Deal' hypocrisy: 'I also fly & use A/C'. U.S. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez responded Saturday night after a published report excoriated the freshman congresswoman for pushing her Green New
Deal initiative while still traveling on airplanes and using ridesharing services — instead greener travel methods
such as public transportation. [...] "But the woman who boasts of a "razor-sharp BS detector" seems to have trouble sniffing
out her own," the New York Post reported. "Since declaring her candidacy in May 2017, Ocasio-Cortez's campaign heavily
relied on those combustible-engine cars — even though a subway station was just 138 feet from her Elmhurst
[Queens] campaign office. She listed 1,049 transactions for Uber, Lyft, Juno and other car services, federal filings
show. The campaign had 505 Uber expenses alone."
Gas-guzzling
car rides expose AOC's hypocrisy amid Green New Deal pledge. Freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wants
to save the planet with her Green New Deal, but she keeps tripping over her own giant carbon footprint. [...] And while she
is quick to dispense all sorts of planet-saving tips to her constituents and fans, [...] she doesn't always take her own
green advice. In a Feb. 24 Instagram video filmed in her kitchen, Ocasio-Cortez railed against plastic grocery
bags — then appeared to toss two of the sacks, which can be recycled, into the trash. "It drives me crazy,"
she said of plastic bags. "I wish they didn't exist."
House Democrats explode in recriminations as liberals lash
out at moderates. House Democrats exploded in recriminations Thursday over moderates bucking the party, with
liberal Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez threatening to put those voting with Republicans "on a list" for a primary
challenge. In a closed-door session, a frustrated Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) lashed out at about two dozen
moderates and pressured them to get on board. "We are either a team or we're not, and we have to make that decision,"
Pelosi said, according to two people present but not authorized to discuss the remarks publicly. But Ocasio-Cortez
(D-N.Y.), the unquestioned media superstar of the freshman class, upped the ante, admonishing the moderates and indicating
she would help liberal activists unseat them in the 2020 election.
Meet
the Greatest GOP Salesperson in History. With enemies like AOC, who needs friends? No friend of mine, or
any friend of the GOP, could ever do for Republicans what Ocasio-Cortez is doing on a daily basis. The more AOC and her
communist cabal talk about killing [...] cows; trains that cross oceans; ending all cars, trucks, boats and planes; "upgrading"
all homes and buildings; free housing for all provided by Big Brother; a guaranteed income, whether you feel like working or
not; their love for socialist hellholes such as Venezuela; and their hatred for Israel, it spells a Trump landslide in 2020.
AOC is the best thing to ever happen to Trump and the GOP.
Ocasio-Cortez's
chief of staff might have broken campaign finance laws. The most powerful person in Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez's office is a tech millionaire with homes in the West Village and Maryland, who is behind a set of
inter-related companies raising ethical eyebrows with good-government groups. Saikat Chakrabarti, 33, is the hard-left
freshman's chief of staff — the brains behind initiatives like the Green New Deal and the founder of a trio of
companies that catapulted Ocasio-Cortez into Congress. But those companies raise red flags with government-watchdog
groups who say Chakrabarti may have skirted campaign finance law.
Federal
Election Commission complaint says Ocasio-Cortez laundered money to pay her boyfriend. The Washington,
D.C.-based Coolidge Reagan Foundation alleges Ocasio-Cortez "funneled thousands of dollars of official campaign funds"
through Brand New Congress — a PAC associated with by Ocasio-Cortez's campaign — to pay her boyfriend,
Riley Roberts. The complaint says the PAC paid Riley Roberts twice — once in August of 2017 and once in
September of 2017 — for "consulting" work. The complaint alleges that.transactions, which totaled just over
$6,000, may have violated campaign finance law.
AOC
Allegedly Broke Campaign Finance Law By Funneling Money To Her Boyfriend Thru A PAC. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez, the Left's favorite congressperson — and also, oddly, the Washington politician who seems to have
the least understanding of anything of anyone who's ever tried to understand anything ever in any way — could be
in trouble. On Wednesday [2/27/2019], the Coolidge Reagan Foundation filed a complaint with the Federal Election
Commission over the New York representative's alleged illegal funneling of money to her boyfriend via a political action
committee. According to the filing, when the Brand New Congress PAC — a branch of the company hired by AOC
to run her campaign — paid Riley Roberts, campaign finance law was broken.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez's campaign may have illegally paid her boyfriend. Freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's
campaign may have illegally paid her boyfriend through a political action committee during her congressional race, a
Republican group alleges in a new complaint with the FEC. The Coolidge Reagan Foundation alleged in the complaint that
Brand New Congress PAC paid Ocasio-Cortez's boyfriend, Riley Roberts, for marketing services after the PAC was hired by her
campaign. Using the third-party PAC to pay her boyfriend may have violated campaign-finance laws, a lawyer for the
Coolidge Reagan Foundation told The [New York] Post.
Ocasio-Cortez
led closed-door crackdown on moderate House Democrats. A Democratic Party civil war is brewing — and
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is smack in the middle of it. The hard-left freshman congresswoman threw fuel on the
fire this week by threatening to put Democratic moderates who vote alongside Republicans "on a list" and run them out of
office in the 2020 primaries. The power play came during a closed-door meeting with Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday
[2/28/2019], a day after the House passed a gun-control bill that would broaden federal background checks for sales at gun
shows and on the Internet.
Comrade
Ocasio-Cortez has a list. Roll Call reports that Democrats are in the midst of internecine warfare, fighting
among themselves over the merest of legislative procedural moves called "motion to recommit," which permits dissenting voices
to say something or maybe try to persuade for moderating amendments when extremely radical bills are presented in the House
and headed to a vote. If nothing else, it's a desire to be heard. House minority Republicans use it, and that's
enough for Democrats to want to shut it down. But it's also employed by moderate Democrats, many of whom do not want to
come across as left-wing nuts to their constituents in red-tinged districts.
Ocasio-Cortez
warns of 'list' for moderate Dems who vote with Republicans: report. After more than two dozen moderate Democrats
broke from their party's progressive wing and sided with Republicans on a legislative amendment Wednesday [2/27/2019], New York
Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez reportedly sounded the alarm in a closed-door meeting Thursday and said those
Democrats were "putting themselves on a list." The legislation that prompted the infighting was a bill that would expand
federal background checks for gun purchases, the Washington Post reported. But a key provision requiring U.S. Immigration
and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to be notified if illegal immigrants attempt to purchase guns saw 26 moderate Democrats side with
Republicans.
Newcomers are in no position to be insolent. Ocasio-Cortez
led closed-door crackdown on moderate House Democrats. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was among House
Democrats who laced into moderates Thursday — threatening to run those who side with Republicans out of office in
the 2020 primaries, according to a new report. The hard-left freshman congresswoman led the charge in a closed-door
session, saying some of her moderate colleagues are "putting themselves on a list," her spokesman Corbin Trent told the
Washington Post. Ocasio-Cortez suggested she would help liberal activists to unseat moderates in the next election.
Ocasio-Cortez
brags she has a 'razor-sharp BS detector'. No doubt, bartender is a "skill job," and the good bartenders are
highly skilled at mixology. But how much skill does it take to read a bunch of questions prepared by staff?
Seriously, does anyone not know that 90% of politicians leave the drudgery of coming up with questions for witnesses
at congressional hearings to people who know a [...] lot more about the issue than they do? Here is Ocasio-Cortez,
faithfully reading her questions like a good little staff puppet. [Video clip]
Details
Of Ocasio-Cortez's Ties To George Soros Revealed. New details have emerged showing the ties between Communist
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and wealthy elitist, George Soros. Soros' media network helped ensure that the socialist would
win the primary election. According to The Daily Caller, in an attempt to put 400 Bernie Sanders-like
politicians in Congress, George Soros has propped up the political career of now infamous communist, Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez. Ocasio-Cortez was formerly a Bernie Sanders presidential campaign organizer. The New York
Times wrote that the communist was able to defeat her opponent, who greatly outspent her, due to her online
presence. In an interview with a "progressive" and communist-leaning digital media outlet The Young Turks, which
is a member of a Soros-funded network of far-left publications called The Media Consortium, Ocasio-Cortez also admits that
their coverage helped her achieve her win.
Ocasio-Cortez
lashes out at 'dude' who 'creepily' took photo of burger meal. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.,
lashed out at an anonymous shutterbug who "creepily" snapped a picture of her at a restaurant with an aide who was feasting
on a juicy burger — an image that soon made the rounds on social media, as it was taken days after she questioned
whether Americans needed to eat so much meat. [...] The picture, posted by conservative social media strategist Caleb Hull,
showed Ocasio-Cortez and Chief of Staff Saikat Chakrabarti eating at an unidentified restaurant. Notably, Chakrabarti
was munching on a burger, just days after Ocasio-Cortez had warned against eating too much of America's favorite dish.
Occasional
Cortex is Blowing Smoke. We all knew little girls like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in our childhood and
avoided them like the plague in the playground because they didn't play nice and lived only to boss others around. Born an
extrovert who would become the top social media star of her day, AOC is out there laying it on thick that she's "THE BOSS!"
Little does she seem to know that if you really are the boss, you don't have to keep on saying it.
Socialism
talk will sink Democrats: How left-wing overreach could backfire big-time in 2020. The problem for the
Democrats at the moment is that much attention is being focused on political novelties such as Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez who espouse both socialism and reparations. She is ferociously telegenic, infectiously likable and
clearly inexhaustible. She is also political poison, the product of a freak election in a New York City district where
the past has taken root — socialism and a lot of rot about the evils of capitalism. She cheered Amazon's
decision to forsake New York for friendlier climes, taking at least 25,000 jobs with it. (Amazon Founder and CEO Jeff
Bezos owns The Washington Post.) For a mere first-termer, this is quite an accomplishment. It usually takes much more
seniority to do this much damage.
AOC
would make a great poster child for Russia. The Green New Deal's push to bad mouth deep earth fuels and
transform the U.S. The Green New Deal is the Left's worst enemyand eventually the world into an ecologically sound "utopia"
of intermittent electricity is a dream come true for Putin and it seems his poster child is Alexandria Ocasia-Cortez.
She has wrestled the microphone away from the clear-headed thinkers in our country and started a movement that stinks of
Putin and his desire to dominate the world. It's either a rookie mistake or a well thought out plan concocted by the
once high colonel of the KGB, Vladimir Putin.
Occasional-Cortex:
The Twilight Zone's monster. She not only wants to deprive us all of cars, machines, etc. —
all of our modern conveniences that derive from fossil fuels — but has declared herself the "boss" of us.
Because she's the boss, we are all "just shouting from the cheap seats." No one in her party is reining her in, pushing
back against her ridiculous Green New Deal. They all know it's absurd, but they seem to fear her as the people of Peaksville
feared little Anthony. It's hard to imagine that Nancy Pelosi is afraid of her, but it appears she is. Ocasio-Cortez
claims to be speaking for the party. Some seventy Democrats have declared they are on board supporting the Green New Deal,
including five or six of their declared presidential candidates. This would all seem like a comic parody if it were not
happening before our eyes.
How
Does 'Boss' AOC Plan To Pay For Her $93 Trillion Green New Deal? Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has declared herself
"boss" of the "Green New Deal." Maybe she can explain were the money will come from to pay its $93 trillion cost.
Because taxing the rich won't even scratch the surface.
AOC wants
America to lead the world — backward. [Scroll down] Ms. Cortez has no such qualms.
When asked whether implementing her GND would require "massive government intervention," she replied: "It does.
Yeah. I have no problem saying that." [...] AOC says don't worry about the price tag. Just tax the rich more and
borrow trillions more. Whether the cost is $1 trillion per year or $40 to $100 trillion in total, that is an
ignorant, cavalier response. Either way, she must provide the numbers, calculations and wherewithal —
transparently and with full debate. But on environmental matters, Ms. Cortez and her cosponsors have no clue what
they are talking about.
The
Fatuous Democrats. Spurred on by the ubiquitous and demiurgically verbose Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,
an inexhaustible storehouse of naïve political opinions, these candidates outdo each other in policy fatuities. She
proposed 70 percent tax rates on the highest personal incomes, and the venerable Bernie Sanders, two generations ahead of
her, chimed in at 77 percent. [...] Ms. Ocasio-Cortez surged back into the lead, (not that she is a presidential
candidate at this point, but why not?), with a fascistic green plan that declared war on all non-renewable energy, called for
the retrofitting of every building in the country and the end of air and automotive travel, and incited visions of vast brigades
(doubtless from what would be the innumerable masses of the unemployed), diapering the nation's cows to save the eco-system from
their flatulence.
Ocasio-Cortez
redistributes her staff's incomes. A young woman with no real-world experience is about to learn the hard way
that her ideology is impractical. I have to give Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez credit for sincerity in her announcement on
Twitter that she plans to compress the pay scale of her staff, reallocating the budget she receives for staff, and cutting
the pay at the top, while increasing the pay at the bottom. [...] Because Ocasio-Cortez has no real-world experience, she
will not see the foreseeable consequences. For a while, she will retain senior staff at low pay because they are
committed to the ideological goals they think that they share with her. [...] But sooner or later, staff will begin to
resent her luxuries compared to their own sacrifices.
Social-justice
Democrats' 'Green New Deal' will turn America into Venezuela. If Al Gore had wed Jane Goodall, and Elizabeth
May presided at the ceremony, eventually the world would have cheered the nativity of someone very likely to grow up as
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the Captain Marvel of the Green movement.
Ocasio-Cortez
temper tantrum caught on video: 'I am the boss!' Sandy O's contemplated power grab illustrates that the
strategy of Al Gore and the Warmists has worked. They have panicked people who have no interest or ability in critical
thinking, using the prestige of "science" and a phony statistic supporting "scientific consensus" to create a demand for vast
government regulatory and tax expansions. It's hard to feel sorry for someone so self-righteous, arrogant, and
unreflective, but Sandy is a victim of her own sudden success in attaining an office for which she was unprepared and a
degree of fame that would be hard for someone with thirty IQ points and two decades of experience on her. Because she
blindly follows leftist cant and intends to use her vastly inflated sense of her own influence and abilities to accomplish
goals that violate human nature and the laws of physics, she will self-destruct.
Where
in the world does Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez live? She may be America's most famous freshman congresswoman, but
in New York, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a virtual ghost. She has no district office and no local phone
number, unlike the state's three other freshman members. And it's unclear whether the 29-year-old lawmaker, who
represents the Bronx and Queens, actually still lives in the Parkchester neighborhood that has been so closely tied to her
rise — even though she won her upset victory over fellow Democrat Rep. Joe Crowley with accusations that his
home in Virginia made him too Washington-focused to serve his district. Ocasio-Cortez has used her deceased father's
Bronx condo on her voter registration since 2012, and even posed in the one-bedroom Bronx flat for celebrity photographer
Annie Leibovitz in a Vogue magazine profile after her stunning November election. But The [New York] Post could find
little indication she continues to live there.
Keywords: Shacking up, fornication, living in sin. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez now says she lives with her boyfriend in a two-bedroom apartment. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
clambered to explain why neighbors at her listed Bronx address claimed they'd never seen here there. The Democrats'
rising star actually lives down the road in a much larger apartment, her spokesman revealed. The New Yorker strongly
denied a Saturday [2/23/2019] report in the New York Post, which claimed there was scant evidence that she lives in the
Bronx condo where she is registered to vote.
Vulgar
Socialists Are the Face of the New Democrat Party. Rashida Commie Tlaib and Alexandria OMao-Cortez had a grand
old time mocking anyone who has a problem with Tlaib calling the President a "m*****f*****." These two are the face of
the New Democrat Party. And they are what we have sunk to in this country. They are clueless in matters of
etiquette, good decorum, and respect for the offices they hold. Speaking together on "Desus & Mero," a new far-left
program for dummies on Showtime, the trio described the term as a "boo-boo word." They complained about the alleged
"double standard." "Rashida got into a little trouble for saying a boo-boo word," AOC said condescendingly.
Ocasio-Cortez:
People Maybe Shouldn't Reproduce Due To Climate Change. Democratic socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
(D-NY) suggested on Sunday night [2/24/2019] that people should consider not having children due to climate change because
there is a "scientific consensus" that life will be hard for kids. "Our planet is going to hit disaster if we don't
turn this ship around and so it's basically like, there's a scientific consensus that the lives of children are going to be
very difficult," Ocasio-Cortez said while chopping up food in her kitchen during an Instagram live video.
Too bad her mother didn't think so. Ocasio-Cortez:
Probably time to stop having kids because 'there's scientific consensus that the lives of children will be very
difficult'. In a stream-of-consciousness livestream video yesterday, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
revealed a lot more than she intended about her life in the shallow end of the gene pool. It's pretty clear that she
regards herself as a fount of insight and wisdom, apparently because her education at Boston University and 29 years of life
experience have provided discernment superior to that available to the rest of us — so much so that her random
thoughts while cooking are worthy of mass dissemination via livestream video. [...] The most egregious pseudo-wisdom was her
cogitation that maybe we shouldn't be having kids because "there's scientific consensus that the lives of children will be
very difficult."
How
the Socialists Will Steal Election 2020. In age, AOC's as fresh as a baby compared to the Dinosaur Democrat Old
Guard. Count on hearing the elderly Dems dissing AOC but bear in mind that it's all part of the act. If people
just listened to her voice rather than just reading about her Democrat supported Green New Deal, they'd have AOC's
number. She sounds like bratty, know-it-all,29-year-old teenager because that's exactly what she is.
Ocasio-Cortez
and Newsom: Stupid-East Meets Stupid-West. Rightly , many on the reality side of the political spectrum
wonder how dumb Ocasio-Cortez must be to think there was a pot of taxpayer money being handed over to Amazon. Now that
the deal is dead, instead of Amazon being able to keep $3 billion of what it earns as a temporary incentive to bring
thousands of jobs and many billions of dollars in future tax revenue to the area, there will be zip, zero, nada for
progressives to "invest" (given that's all they really care about). I wonder if Ocasio-Cortez will take a vow of
poverty, put her current lack of money where her mouth is, and fight the urge to magically turn her $170K-per-year salary
into multi-millions (while producing nothing) before she finally exits Congress.
'Clearly
most reckless politician in America': AOC deletes tweet with false accusations against GOP operative.
Rep. Alexander Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., truly is the gift that keeps on giving for the Republican Party, as the Bronx
nitwit's blunders are so frequent she struggles to get through a single day without making herself and her party look
foolish. The self-avowed democratic socialist stepped in it again Thursday when she falsely accused Senate Majority
Leader Mitch McConnell's former chief of staff of running a bot network. In a tweet Ocasio-Cortez has since
deleted — surely she knows the web is forever — the newly-elected Democrat claimed Republican
consultant Josh Holmes "helps run a multimillion dollar operation to have bot accounts manipulate online discourse."
Amazon
opponent Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spent thousands on the site during campaign — including $300 on
chalk. Apparently AOC stands for Amazon Online Customer. Before freshman Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez celebrated scaring away the online retail giant, she spent thousands on the site. The democratic
socialist's campaign spent nearly $9,000 on Amazon last year over a six month period — including nearly $300 in
chalk. Last week, Ocasio-Cortez applauded local politicians and advocates for Amazon's decision to pull out of its
plans to build a second headquarters in Long Island City, Queens.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez stars as a 'butt-kicking' political superhero in new comic book. Devil's Due Comics announced on
Friday that it has assembled a team of artists to create what it calls the "mother of all one-off commemorative comics:
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez And The Freshman Force. [...] The Chicago-based publishing company said in a release that the new comic
book will see Ocasio-Cortez "engage in a series of super-heroic mini-adventures, taking on the GOP establishment from within."
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez Has A Serious Billionaire Problem. Democrats have recently discovered a new threat to the
American way of life: billionaires. An interviewer recently asked socialist Ocasio-Cortez: "Do we live in a moral
world that allows for billionaires? Is that a moral outcome?" Her answer: "No, it's not. It's
not. It's not. And I think it's important to say that." Her policy advisor, Dan Riffle, said that "every
billionaire is a policy failure."
Report
Suggests AOC Is Up To Her Neck In Swamp Water, Possibly Illegally. For all the integrity and principles New
York Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is purported to have, new research suggests she swims in the same swamp as many of her
D.C. colleagues on the left. Not long ago, National Review contributor Luke Thompson stumbled across documentation that
showed her boyfriend Riley Roberts as a staff member in the House of Representatives. When Thompson called her out, AOC
defended herself by claiming it was so that he could have access to the calendar, and that this is common practice among spouses.
Marc
Thiessen: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is an economic illiterate — And that's bad news for America.
The left complains that conservatives are "obsessing" over Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Well, there is a reason for that:
Ocasio-Cortez is driving the agenda of today's Democratic Party — and her economic illiteracy is dangerous.
Case in point: Last week, Ocasio-Cortez celebrated the tanking of a deal negotiated by her fellow Democrats in which
Amazon promised to build a new headquarters in Long Island City, New York, right next to her congressional district.
Amazon's departure cost the city between 25,000 and 40,000 new jobs. Forget the tech workers whom Amazon would have
employed. Gone are all the unionized construction jobs to build the headquarters, as well as thousands of jobs created
by all the small businesses — restaurants, bodegas, dry cleaners and food carts — that were preparing
to open or expand to serve Amazon employees. They are devastated by Amazon's withdrawal.
'Thanks
for Nothing, AOC!': Massive Billboard In NYC Blasts Ocasio-Cortez. Job Creators Network, a nonpartisan
organization founded by entrepreneurs like Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus, purchased a billboard in New York City
slamming socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) for killing tens of thousands of jobs for New Yorkers that would
have generated billions of dollars in economic activity.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez's campaign finance hypocrisy. The crux of Ocasio-Cortez' position, explained on her campaign
website, is that "the wealthiest people in this country [have] the opportunity to purchase the U.S. Government," which
"discourages those who are less privileged from even considering a run." Ocasio-Cortez crusades against "special
interests," but every interest is "special" to those who care about it. That's as true for the pro-abortion groups
publicly endorsing Ocasio-Cortez as it is for the labor unions funding her campaign committee. They just happen to be
"special interests" she likes, unlike (for example) the 25,000 New Yorkers who won't be getting jobs at Amazon thanks in part
to her work.
Ocasio-Cortez
Boyfriend Troubles Reveal the Corruption at the Heart of Her Campaign. Last week, an enterprising conservative
political consultant unearthed evidence that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) may have hired her boyfriend, Riley
Roberts, to work in Congress. This news actually unraveled a far bigger story of corruption, however. As it turns
out, a political group helping Ocasio-Cortez's campaign had already paid Roberts during the campaign — and those
payments from that shady organization may be the reason Ocasio-Cortez is in Congress today. On Wednesday, Luke
Thompson, a podcast host and former staffer for the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), shared some damning
research into Ocasio-Cortez's campaign. He discovered more about the relationship between Riley Roberts and the
campaign, but he also unearthed a humongous corruption story.
The
Danger of Not Taking Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Seriously. The left's new darling is Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez ("AOC"). The 29-year-old congresswoman from New York catapulted into the political scene in November as the
face of a new "democratic" socialism. The media hang on to her every word and fawn over every gesture. Her "New
Green Deal" is the talk of the nation. Conservatives take note of and ridicule her antics, hyperbole and errors.
She is the center of attention wherever she goes. She shocks, amuses, alarms and flabbergasts the public. The
political circus around her is such that many say that she must not be taken seriously.
The
populist sledgehammer kills Amazon jobs that Middle America would love to have. Tito Brown can't imagine
driving a perfectly good thing out of a town that hasn't had a perfectly good thing come its way in a very long time.
At least, a perfectly good thing the size and scope of the Amazon headquarters that ideological politics drove out of Long
Island City on Thursday, when Democrats including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., danced on the grave of the deal
as Amazon walked away from the New York project. Brown doesn't really get that. He governs a city with a
declining population, a 40 percent poverty rate, and would welcome the opportunity for a project such as Amazon to have
considered locating here.
Stupid
Midwesterners Don't Understand AOC's Job-Killing Joy. Amazon was about to deliver thousands of new jobs to New
Yorkers, and billions of dollars in tax revenue to the city's coffers — but don't you worry, Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez has proudly helped put a stop to all that.
Ocasio-Cortez
Doesn't Understand Difference Between Berlin Wall, Border Wall. Democratic socialist Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) suggested late last week that she does not understand the difference between the Berlin Wall and
President Donald Trump's proposed border wall. During an Instagram live video on Friday, the freshman congresswoman
said that she thought the wall was a "moral abomination. I think it's like the Berlin Wall." That Ocasio-Cortez
thinks the border wall is "like the Berlin Wall" suggests she knows very little about history and concepts of border security.
Dems'
long knives unsheathed on Ocasio-Cortez on Meet the Press. Three days ago, I predicted that Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez was sealing her fate when she took (and probably deserved) credit for killing the deal that would have brought
25,000 high-paying Amazon jobs to New York City. It's not that the young woman with boundless self-confidence in her
views has no clue about how tax incentives work (though that is obviously true, since she crowed that the $3 billion in tax
abatements could be spent on subways, schools, and the like). Ignorance and simple-mindedness are no obstacles to a Democrat
winning approval from party bosses.
Why
the Media Can't Stop Promoting Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. By this point, not yet seven weeks into the current
congressional term, the whole country has grown tired of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The freshman radical socialist
phenom from New York's 14th congressional district has been radically overexposed by the media. Her gaffes are getting
old. Her narcissistic, defensive tweeting is tedious. And yet, the media keeps obliging her with photo ops,
social media clips, and endless sound bites. They cannot look away, lest they forfeit clicks.
Ocasio-Cortez: An
Economics Major? [Scroll down] The remainder of the coursework in the International Relations track she
likely followed is more politically oriented in the usual Leftist slant. Her identification with Socialism is an
extension of her studies, and is not based on a rigorous analysis of conditions in the less-developed world, but more on her
politically-oriented viewpoint. So — to sum up AOC's much-hyped Economics Knowledge. She likely has a bare
knowledge of the basic concepts. That good beginning has been overlaid with a heavy mass of Standard College Leftism —
and only the last part of that education, seemingly, stuck.
The New Nihilism. For about a
half century, universities have eroded inductive and empirical education. Instead, deduction and advocacy took its
place — and to such a degree that to question man-made global warming, the dogma of racial separatism and
chauvinism, radical abortion, or gay marriage became taboo and proof of near criminality. But advocacy for generations
of youth also came at a price of not learning history, languages, science, math, and literature, the age-old menu of broad
liberal arts education. And the result is reified by the emergence of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, whose
arrogance and ignorance are emblematic of the worth of a costly Boston University degree.
Smollett
and AOC: Dems Reach New Heights of 'Magical Thinking'. It is as if the Democratic Party has decided, once and
for all, to adopt the psychological concept of "Magical Thinking" as its modus vivendi. [...] Calling this Trump
Derangement Syndrome is an understatement because it's more psychologically disturbing than a mere political catchphrase can
capture. With Smollett and AOC, this actual psychopathology — because that's what it is —
has reached new heights, in an apotheosis of magical thinking.
Ocasio-Cortez
Delivers 'Inaugural Address': 'Right to Migrate' Not Negotiable. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) delivered
an "inaugural address" in her Congressional District on Saturday afternoon [2/16/2019], declaring that issues like the "right
to migrate" will not be negotiable. Addressing hundreds of supporters in the Bronx, the freshman lawmaker even had a
swearing-in ceremony before uttering mostly platitudes. Defending the Green New Deal after she and her office botched
the rollout to much ridicule this week, the Democratic-Socialist claimed that the "Green New Deal is the legislation of
indigenous communities in the United states" and many others.
The Editor says...
Citizens of foreign countries do not have the right to immigrate to the United States. They can apply for legal residency,
but there are no guarantees. The vast majority of the other seven billion people around the world would likely be a
"public charge," i.e., dependent on welfare programs, and a net drain on the economy, and therefor inadmissible under existing
federal law. AOC is hoping you don't know that.
How Dumb
is Ocasio-Cortez? The context was Amazon's announcement that it would not, after all, build a second corporate
headquarters in Long Island City, which I understand is close to, but not within, Ocasio-Cortez's district. The project
reportedly would have entailed 25,000 new jobs — normally considered a good thing by Congressmen. But
Ocasio-Cortez thought it was wonderful that her constituents would not have the option to compete for those jobs: [...] I
suppose if AOC's constituents thought they would be "exploited" by Amazon they wouldn't have to apply for jobs there.
Now, they don't have the choice.
AOC is no outlier.
The Democratic Party has deceived much of the public into believing that its positions aren't extreme, but the truth is
coming out now for all to see. Such veritable crackpots as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are not merely fringe
fruitcakes; they are just bringing the party out of the closet. It's as if half this decades-long leftist conspiracy to
turn America into a socialist hellhole has finally been exposed by the unwitting soldiers of the revolution, who have
understood everything about it but were told to keep their mouths shut about their ultimate goals.
Pelosi's Untouchables.
Reps. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., are becoming examples of a new
super-class of human being, riding roughshod over all their peers, proudly displaying their ignorance of, and hatred toward,
all things American. They are Pelosi's Untouchables. Deriding the traditional patriotism and conservatism of the
American people, the socialist club in Congress spews kook theology, far-left ideology, and outrageous cultural Marxism.
They are the tip of the sword that will skewer this nation and engulf us all into a prolonged civil war based on race and
religion. And Pelosi is allowing all of it.
The
Left Has Ensured that this Will Never be a Socialist Country. The breathtaking ignorance, unabashed espousal of authoritarian
policies and nonsensical concepts by the current poster child of the American Left, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, is a window into the end-product
of the indoctrination and resultant mindset of a significant demographic segment of nearly two generations. While Marxist philosophy
still undergirds this mindset, a uniquely American doctrine has become the tip of the spear in what will be a failed attempt in transforming
the United States into a socialist nation.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez is destroying opportunity for fellow Democrats. Congratulations, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez!
You just killed 25,000 jobs for urban Democrats in one of the most racially and ethnically diverse areas in the entire
world! Congresswoman AOC, the thought leader of the Democratic party, was the loudest and feistiest political opponent
when Amazon announced it would build (half of) its second headquarters in Long Island City, Queens, promising to create
25,000 jobs and generate some $27.5 billion in tax revenue over the next 25 years. Amazon employs a range of people
from unskilled workers to tech geniuses and would have pumped large amounts of money into the city economy. It estimated
the average salary of its New York City workforce would have been $150,000. Real-estate prices in Long Island City jumped
15 percent since Amazon's announcement last November.
MSNBC's
Deutsch: 'Dangerous' Ocasio-Cortez Will 'Hand Presidency Back to Trump'. Democrats are starting to figure out
that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the gift that keeps on giving — to Republicans. [...] On today's [2/15/2019]
Morning Joe, there was consensus condemnation of Ocasio-Cortez's opposition to NYC's deal with Amazon to establish an
HQ in NYC, which contributed to Amazon's decision to cancel its plans. Donny Deutsch put it in starkest terms, saying
Ocasio-Cortez is "extremely dangerous," and "does not know what she's talking about." Deutsch fretted that, from a Dem
perspective, Ocasio-Cortez and her socialist sidekicks will "hand the presidency back to Donald Trump."
Amazon
Spokesperson Blames Ocasio-Cortez for NYC Retreat. An Amazon spokesperson blamed Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and her vocal resistance for the company's shocking decision to cancel plans for its New York City
headquarters on Thursday [2/14/2019]. Polls showed that 70 percent of New Yorkers supported Amazon's planned investment
in the state. Thus, Amazon stunned many New Yorkers and the nation at large when the company bowed to intense opposition from
some state and local officials on Thursday and announced it was abandoning the Big Apple for its second headquarters.
With
Amazon NYC 'second HQ' deal cancelled, Ocasio Cortez now officially is a huge problem for Dems. Move over,
Speaker Pelosi, and make room for New York governor Andrew Cuomo and New York City mayor Bill de Blasio as Democrats waking
up to the disaster the rise of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is inflicting on the Democratic Party. She is no longer
just a potential threat to their schemes and operating principles; she has taken a wrecking ball to them. [...] The Amazon tax
breaks, calculated to be worth $3 billion over a period of many years, were going to bring 25,000 high-paying jobs to
Ocasio-Cortez's district in Queens and generate many times that sum in increased tax receipts, according to Cuomo and de
Blasio, who exulted over the deal. But offering any kind of benefit to a big corporation founded and headed by the
richest man in the world is anathema to the radical left. Ocasio-Cortez may not fully realize that her political party
is now the party of big business, trading government favors of all sorts for massive political donations (and censorship of
conservatives on internet forums controlled by the tech giants).

Ocasio-Cortez faces questions after her boyfriend gets congressional email account. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is
facing ethics questions after revelations the freshman lawmaker's office gave her boyfriend a congressional email account. The
democratic socialist waded into the issue in response to a tweet alleging boyfriend Riley Roberts had been put on staff. The
tweet included a screenshot of an official House email address. Ocasio-Cortez insisted that he was only given the email account
so he could access her calendar.
Ocasio-Cortez's
boyfriend granted House email account. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's relationship with boyfriend Riley
Roberts is official. Roberts has been granted a government "house.gov" email address so he can access Ocasio-Cortez's
congressional calendar, the 29-year-old congresswoman confirmed Friday [2/15/2019]. Spouses of members of Congress are
afforded privileges, such as a House email address, a congressional pin to bypass security and a House license plate to enter
Capitol grounds and enjoy parking privileges, House aides say.
The Editor says...
No, their relationship is not "official" until they are legally married.
Ocasio-Cortez
Living in Luxury Navy Yard Apartment Building. After fretting about whether she'd be able to afford rent, Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) has moved into a luxury apartment building in the District of Columbia's Navy Yard neighborhood, the Washington
Free Beacon has learned. Ocasio-Cortez, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, got a big raise with her election to
Congress, a job that comes with a $174,000 annual salary. She told the New York Times she was concerned about how she would
get an apartment before that salary kicked in. She ended up moving into a luxury apartment building with a wide array of
amenities where rent for even a studio apartment exceeds $2,000 a month.
AOC
thinks there's vast right-wing conspiracy to make her look stupid. Who wants to tell her? Is there a
doctor in the house? Newly minted Democratic socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez seems to think so.
After the rollout statement of her New Green Deal was posted on her website, then rapidly deleted, she claimed that the
original text had been "doctored" by someone out to make her look bad. [...] Expect to see more of this as Ocasio-Cortez
moves into her second month in Congress. She is no stranger to the dog-ate-my-homework excuse that her policy
statements are being "doctored," obviously be her detractors on the Right.
The Brains
Behind Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. I have previously posted that the socialist congresswoman Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez has been using, in a very skilful manner, Leninist type tactics to advance her socialist cause. Those
attacking her for being ignorant, simple, etc. miss the point. She knows nothing about economics or doesn't care.
Her game is completely about politics and the power game. To understand this, you need to understand how she entered
the race that allowed her to capture New York's 14th congressional district seat. The short answer is she entered a
contest or to be more precise her brother entered her name. The contest was run by Justice Democrats to determine who
they would support in the 2018 mid-term elections. Justice Democrats identifies as a progressive group (read:
"democratic socialist" group). They don't know anything about economics or how the structures of societies work and
what must occur in different structures, but they are very savvy about political activism and politics.
CBS's
Outrageous Cover Up on Behalf of Socialist Ocasio-Cortez. CBS News showed part of a cross examination by
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on campaign finance laws. They cut off the rebuttal. The radical Socialist is trying to
make her capitalist colleagues and all lobbyists into criminals with superficial questioning in her usual arrogant manner.
The news outlet cut off the ending of the testimony. The dishonesty would be unbelievable but this is the U.S media today.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez: 'Reconquistador!' Hispanic rights activists postulate a land called Aztlan, originally
extending up to the State of Oregon, all of Texas, and the Western third of the U.S.A. They want to seize the Southwest
of the United States and Texas and (re)create a new, independent nation. They envision that they are taking "back" this
land. [...] In reality, of course, these populations do not speak Mayan or Aztec or any Native American languages. They
speak Spanish. Their names are Spanish. Their cultural features are Spanish. The Conquistadors —
the Spaniards from Europe — conquered and occupied South America, Central America, and the islands of the Caribbean
basin. But they claim the United States as well. There can be little doubt that Ocasio-Cortez lacks the education
and analytical ability to comprehend any of this, but she has joined this movement with both feet.
Ocasio-Cortez:
I'm Not Clapping When 'Authoritarian' Trump Says He Wants to 'Make America Great'. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Friday said that there is no way she will clap when "authoritarian" President Donald Trump says he
wants to "make America great." Appearing on New York's "Ebro in the Morning" on Hot 97, Ocasio-Cortez discussed the
"stern" look on her face during Trump's State of the Union address, which prompted Peggy Noonan to say that the
Democratic-Socialist looked "sullen, teenaged and at a loss."
Dems
Looking at Eliminating Ocasio-Cortez's District, Consider Primary Challenge. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is not
going to have a great weekend after learning that her seat in Congress might not be secure after 2020. A new report says
Democrats are looking into eliminating her district, and AOC herself acknowledges that New York may lose a seat. What's
worse, if you're Ocasio-Cortez, is that liberals are considering finding a primary challenger to the freshman lawmaker.
AOC:
The Perfect Graduate of Today's Biased Colleges. In the immediate sense, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez may be the
best thing to happen to the Republican Party since Abraham Lincoln. Her Green New Deal is as much dead in the water as
it is brain dead and constitutes a fabulous talking point for the GOP to run on in 2020. [...] Consider the level of writing
and thinking in her Green Deal in whatever ever-changing iteration, with or without the banning of cow flatulence and air
travel, and notwithstanding the guaranteed income for those unwilling to work. This document, if one can call it that,
resembles nothing more than the kind of swill presented to — and highly approved by — professors in
today's grievance-obsessed colleges, where Shakespeare and Milton are dismissed or rejected and actual thought (i.e.,
intellectual reasoning) is ridiculed as manifestations of "white privilege." Actually, AOC is a nascent (or
not-so-nascent) totalitarian. Nevertheless, she has brought along with her almost all of the declared Democratic Party
candidates (Gillibrand, Harris, Warren, Booker, Sanders, etc.), a couple of whom, one would hope, might be smart enough to
know her ideas are fantastical and so expensive as to bankrupt not just the USA but most of the world along with it.
Netflix
Pays $10M for Ocasio-Cortez Documentary That Won Award at Sundance. On Thursday, Netflix announced it had
acquired the rights to Knock Down the House, a documentary featuring Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) that
won an award at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. The streaming company reportedly paid $10 million
for the film. "Netflix has acquired worldwide distribution rights to award-winning documentary Knock Down the
House, which chronicles the campaigns of four female progressive candidates including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, against
powerful incumbents in the 2018 midterm elections," Netflix announced in a statement Thursday [2/7/2019].
The
wild and wacky mind of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could utter absolute gibberish, and
the media would swoon before her, and her supporters would declare her a genius. How do we know? Because Ocasio-Cortez
frequently utters gibberish, and the media and her supporters swoon before her. [...] She is fundamentally a monumentally stupid woman
who knows so little about so much that she doesn't even try to hide it. Her "Green New Deal" was so flawed as both a political
document and an exercise in proposing public policy that she has pulled it from her website. Even hysterical climate change
advocates were saying it was an impossible task to get to "net zero" carbon emissions in ten years. Mirth-makers on Twitter
mercilessly made sport of her ignorance to the point that she felt it necessary to remove the document from public view.
The Socialist That Could. The Republican Party
has a secret weapon for 2020. It's especially effective because it's stealthy: The Democrats seem oblivious to its
power. And the GOP needn't lift a finger for it to work. All Republicans have to do is sit back and watch
29-year-old Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ... exist. AOC, as she's better known, today exists largely in front of
the cameras. In a few months she's gone from an unknown New York bartender to the democratic socialist darling of the
left and its media hordes. Her megaphone is so loud that she rivals Speaker Nancy Pelosi as the face of the Democratic
Party. Republicans don't know whether to applaud or laugh. Most do both. For them, what's not to love?
She's set off a fratricidal war on the left, with her chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti, this week slamming the "radical
conservatives" among the Democrats holding the party "hostage." She's made friends with Jeremy Corbyn, leader of
Britain's Labour Party, who has been accused of anti-Semitism. She's called the American system of wealth creation
"immoral" and believes government has a duty to provide "economic security" to people who are "unwilling to work."
As a representative of New York, she's making California look sensible.
Ocasio-Cortez:
Latinos Can't Be Illegals Because They're 'Descendants of Native People'. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
(D., N.Y.) on Thursday [2/7/2019] criticized U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement and argued in support of undocumented
Latinos in the United States, saying the latter cannot be "criminalized" on "Native" U.S. land because they are "descendants
of Native people." The self-described Democratic socialist spoke on Thursday alongside several liberal groups, including
MoveOn and United We Dream, a pro-immigration group that calls for ICE to be abolished. She repeatedly slammed ICE,
claiming it "repeatedly and systematically violates human rights."
Ocasio
Cortez Gets Weepy As She Calls For The Abolition Of ICE And Says America Belongs To Illegal Immigrants. [Scroll
down] Some thoughts here. There is no "right of human mobility." That is [false] on its face. ICE is
heavily policed internally and by a brigade of leftwing, anti-American lawyers who actively try to create cases to damage the
ability of ICE to operate. She is standing on "native land," alright. Native American, not American Indian or
First Nations or Indigenous Peoples or whatever we're calling them this week. It is the native land of people who
settled this land and who brought forth from wilderness a civilization that is the envy of the world. To paraphrase someone,
"you didn't build this." Sorry about the Indians losing their land and all, but if you want to see what happens when you
allow untrammeled illegal immigration just look to their example and tell me again why it's a great idea. Even were
I to agree that someone other than American citizens, of all races and ethnic extractions, had a call on this land, her claim
that Hispanics are descendants of "natives peoples" is [false]. Latin American Hispanics have a wide variety of ethnic
mixes (Mexico recognized 16 different racial classes) and their ancestry does not give them any unique rights to enter my
country. In fact, they have exactly the same claim to being allowed to live in the United States as they do to being
allowed to live in Spain, or I do to living in England, based on their ancestry.
Ocasio-Cortez:
ICE Doesn't 'Deserve a Dime' of Funding. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) said Thursday that
she would work to deprive the Department of Homeland Security of funding until the agency adopts more permissive
immigration-enforcement policies.
The PMS Caucus. Rather
than demonstrate that women politicians on a combative national stage can govern in a sober and diplomatic way, female
Democrats in Congress — don't call them ladies — unfortunately are playing into the very stereotypes
that they claim to want to disprove. They are moody, petulant, and impulsive. [...] Their de facto leader,
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) glowered throughout the president's speech. The youngest person ever
to serve in the people's house didn't applaud when the president heralded a federal agent who rescued hundreds of women and
girls from sex traffickers. She also refused to stand when First Lady Melania Trump was introduced; at the introduction
of American war veterans; for record low unemployment among minorities; and for plans to eliminate the scourge of AIDS.
Her Cycle Sisters joined their leader in an extended public pout, rising only to cheer themselves.
Wean
socialists like Ocasio-Cortez off of America's Accommodating Teat. New York Democrat Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio Cortez's poison ivy 'Green New Deal' didn't originate from one of her said to be "occasional cortex" spurts, it was
lifted from fellow traveller radical environmentalists in the country next door. [...] Yep, we have them here in the Land of
the Maple Leaf too, along with the thousands of NGOs created by the late, Canadian God Father of the Environment, Maurice
Strong. Nor were the far-left environmentalists in Canada being innovative, visionary or original because they, in
turn swiped the Green New Deal from the UN, which aims to force Agenda 21(Agenda 2030) on an unsuspecting society come hell
or high water. The clear and present danger here is that the UN has now managed to get its own agent provocateur in
Congress in the person of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC).
Trump
supporter castigated for calling Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a '29-year-old coffee barista'. A former congressman
who supports Donald Trump has been scolded for branding Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a "29-year-old coffee barista". MSNBC
host Ari Melber hit back at Jack Kingston, an ex-Republican congressman from Georgia, on Tuesday night [2/5/2019] after he
dismissed the congresswoman as a coffeemaker.

A MS-13 murder was captured on the 7 train in New York City. The horrific footage was captured by Progressive Action.

Praises Notorious Anti-Semitic British Political Leader. Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)
praised notorious anti-Semitic Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn on Sunday [2/3/2019] following an apparent phone conversation
the two far-left politicians had. [...] Allegations of anti-Semitism against Corbyn started getting significant media attention
following Corbyn's rise in 2015 from a leftist Member of Parliament to the leader of Britain's Labour Party.
Ocasio-Cortez:
I Acknowledge My Privilege Being Born 'Cisgendered'. Even intersectionality Democratic darling Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez acknowledges she has some privilege. And, no, it's not the privilege of growing up in the largely
affluent Westchester county. According to the freshman congresswoman, she inherited "cisgender privilege."
Ocasio-Cortez:
'Weird American Dream mythology' requires 'painful' changes for poor whites. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
says the nation's "weird American Dream mythology" needs to change — particularly in the minds of "cisgendered"
and poor white citizens. The rising Democratic Party lawmaker from New York told the Intercept's "Deconstructed"
podcast this week that poor white people need to accept that they "benefit" from their skin color, and more so if they
identify as their birth sex.
The Editor says...
In other words, if you're not white and not heterosexual, or at least not male, you're doubly entitled to liberal victim status.
Former
Bartender Ocasio-Cortez Doesn't Think Howard Schultz Has Enough Experience to be President. Irony is completely
lost on Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the freshman Congresswoman from New York, who suggested Wednesday morning that
former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz does not have the experience necessary to run for President. 'Why don't people ever
tell billionaires who want to run for President that they need to 'work their way up' or that 'maybe they should start with
city council first?" the former bartender-turned Congresswoman asked on Twitter.
Ocasio-Cortez:
Billionaires Like Howard Schultz Should "Work Their Way Up". Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says that
Billionaires who want to run for president should work their way up — starting perhaps with city council. Referring to
former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz's bid for President in 2020, the former bartender and Bernie Sanders 2016 organizer
tweeted on Wednesday [1/30/2019]: "Why don't people ever tell billionaires who want to run for President that they
need to "work their way up" or that "maybe they should start with city council first"?"
Ryan Saavedra quotes Ben
Stein. "We have a society in which there are an awful lot of people who have no idea that Stalin, Hitler, Mao
Tse-Tung all came to power promising the same kinds of things that Ocasio-Cortez is promising. And it led to mass
murder, it led to dictatorship, it led to genocide."
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez Engages of Battle of Wits with Fact Checkers, Loses, then Absurdly Declares Victory. If you have
ever had a debate with a liberal, you will be familiar with the process. First the liberal makes an outrageously
untrue, a-historical, or flat out factually incorrect statement. You tell them the truth and even back it up with a
link or some facts. The liberal responds by moving the goal posts and adds with an absurd non sequitur. You
correct that idiocy, too. Then the liberal calls you names and claims they won the debate despite getting
everything wrong and engaging in name calling. This is essentially the path that Ocasio-Cortez took with her Twitter
feud with the fact checkers.
CNN
Panel Defends & Praises Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez For "Threatening White Men". Well, I guess she might be the
anti-Trump because she's the exact opposite of the President. No brains, no experience, no ideas that work, and not a
clue. "She's got a lot of power." Someone, please explain that to me. She's done nothing except run her
mouth and post tweets. That's power today? If so America is doomed.
The
Progressive Race to the Bottom. The subtext of these charades is that 28-year-old socialist Alexandra
Ocasio-Cortez (who won her Democratic primary with 15,897 votes and with that victory an assured congressional seat in a
gerrymandered Democratic district) is the new Robespierre — warning that the earth as we know it will end in
twelve years, ICE must be disbanded, all student debt abolished, wealth taxes levied, and Medicare provided for all.
And her political guillotine awaits any progressive with lingering stains of the Ancien Régime.
Presidential elections are now to be seen by the Left not as the end of a four-year political cycle. Instead, they are
the beginning of an any-means-necessary, existential effort to reverse the proverbial will of the people and to remove or
delegitimize the president.
Socialist
Talk! Chris Cuomo, O-Cortez Say Poverty is 100% Preventable! Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the face of the
New hard-left Democrat Party, really likes what Chris Cuomo says in this clip. She thinks that the irrational response
he gives to one of the people he's debating is, This is what swiftly cutting through nonsense looks like. She's
pathetic and so is Cuomo. CNN's Chris Cuomo has shown his true colors in the past. He went to Cuba when Obama
made his one-way deal in favor of the Communist dictator Castro. While there, he talked about how "uplifting" communism
is. He is also an apologist for Antifa. You can't make this stuff up.
Ocasio-Cortez
Leads Toward Disaster. Elected to Congress in November with no viable opponent, 29-year-old Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez is already being considered the future of the Democrat Party, even the nation itself. What she has
promised for her New York City constituents, and what will surely be the agenda for others eagerly lining up to follow her
lead, spells big trouble for America. If fully adopted, her socialism will accomplish for the United States the
suffering in Venezuela and other nations where socialism has replaced even a small amount of freedom. Demagogues
regularly insist that their program is the route to progress, even calling themselves "progressives." What they seek,
however, is a proven path toward oblivion.
Alexandria
"Chicken Little" Ocasio-Cortez: The World Is Going To End In 12 Years. Sometimes, I wonder if we aren't
succumbing to a plot to give this woman more face time due to her utterly stupid and ignorant statements, but still,
addressing the woman who has apparently been loosed from an insane asylum with no grasp of economics or apparently the
Constitution, will be a tedious task over the next four years. [...] On Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Ocasio-Cortez
appeared at the fourth annual MLK event at Riverside Church in Harlem and warned the crowd in attendance that climate change
would be the death of the world in twelve years if it wasn't addressed. The New York congresswoman said that this was
the "World War II" for millennials and Gen Z.
Ocasio-Cortez:
World That Allows For Billionaires Is Immoral, Except Bill Gates. Progressive Democrat lawmaker Alexandria
Ocasio Cortez has increasingly become a one-stop shop for ludicrous remarks from everything to climate change to tax
increases. But the liberal congresswoman recently turned her attention to Billionaires, seemingly agreeing with the
idea that a world that allows for billionaires is immoral.
Ocasio-Cortez
was the only Dem to vote 'no' on bill to reopen the government. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was the lone
House Democrat Wednesday to vote against leadership-backed bills to reopen the government because she opposes money for Immigration
and Customs Enforcement or additional border security measures. "We were having conversations with our community after we
voted for DHS [Department of Homeland Security] funding the first time," Ocasio-Cortez told The [New York] Post after House
votes. "We're hearing back a lot from our local community and they're uncomfortable with any vote on funding for ICE."
Ocasio-Cortez:
System that allows billionaires is 'immoral'. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said in an interview on Monday
[1/21/2019]that she believes a system that allows people to become billionaires is "immoral." The New York Democrat made
the statement while responding to a question from writer Ta-Nehisi Coates at a Martin Luther King Jr. Day event in Harlem.
Ocasio-Cortez
Preaches The End Of The World In 12 Years Due To Climate Change, Calls It Millennial's WW2. According to Fox
News, the fresh-faced democratic socialist New York congresswoman, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has joined the doom and gloom
ranks of Bill Nye and Al Gore in her prophesying the end times via climate change. She even compared it to fighting the
Nazis: [...] Of course, Ocasio-Cortez didn't explain how the world would end in 12 years, as she's not typically inclined to
explain everything. Just trust her. We're going to see the world end in 12 years because corporations are
producing things and generating waste.
Ocasio-Cortez
[doesn't care] about what other Democrats think. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez admitted that she [doesn't
care] when her Democratic colleagues criticize the youngest woman elected to the House for speaking her mind. Appearing
on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" on Monday [1/21/2019], she was asked about how she feels when other Democrats
admonish her by saying "Wait your turn" and "Don't make waves."
The Left vs.
Logic. Just recently Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made the remark that she'd rather be morally correct than
factually correct. She fails to realize that being factually correct is part of being moral. To use loose,
sloppy, or fictitious "facts" to support something you think is ethically awesome is to undercut your own argument.
Wall
Street wary of progressive Democrats on the House finance committee. Wall Street is bunkering down for a wave
of intense scrutiny as a group of progressive Democrats, including social media star Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, have joined a
powerful House of Representatives committee overseeing banking activities. "It's a huge victory," said Ocasio-Cortez,
at 29 the youngest member of Congress and a self-described socialist — a word that shocks conservatives, who
brandish it as a dire threat.
Dan
Bongino Calls on Ocasio-Cortez to Donate 70% of Her Income to Government. Following recent calls for tax hikes
on the wealthy from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, former Obama-assigned Secret Service agent-turned-conservative commentator Dan
Bongino has challenged the Democratic Socialist to lead by example. New York Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
recently announced that high-earners should be hit with paying 70 percent tax on their income. Writing in an op-ed for
Fox News, Bongino has called on Ocasio-Cortez to practice what she preaches and donate 70% of her own earnings to the US
Government.Bongino blasted the newly elected Congresswoman, saying she "relies on a lot of economic ignorance to get you
to believe what's not true, could be true."
Ocasio-Cortez
Urges Fellow Activists To Oust Incumbent Democrats. Since winning the primary over incumbent Joseph Crowley,
who many believed would be the next leader of the House Democrats, democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has made it
increasingly clear that one of her key goals is to create more candidates like herself: ones who embrace a more radical left
agenda and who are willing to take on establishment Democrats.
Newly
elected and too big for her britches. At age 29, Ms. Ocasio-Cortez thundered into Congress after unseating
a longtime Democratic congressman. With her relative youth, Taylor Swift red lipstick, deft use of social media and
unapologetic embrace of socialism, she became an instant political celebrity. The mainstream media panted after her and
her radical ideas (Medicare for all, a green "new deal," a 70 percent top tax rate), her dripping sarcasm on Twitter and even
her announcement of a "self-care" break before being sworn in. The media loved her even more when, just a week after being
elected, she joined a climate change sit-in in now-Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office. The Democratic establishment? Not
so much. She was the stereotypical millennial who at her first job interview asks for the corner office and eight weeks'
vacation. The Tall Poppy needed to be taken down a notch.
Ocasio-Cortez
set to join Maxine Waters on key financial services committee. Self-described socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
announced on Twitter late Tuesday [1/15/2019] that she will join California Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters on the influential
House Financial Services Committee, which oversees Wall Street and the housing industry. California Rep. Katie Porter,
Michigan's Rashida Tlaib, Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, and Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley have also reportedly been
tapped for the committee by Democratic House leaders, and a vote finalizing their appointments is expected within days.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez to Serve on House Financial Services Committee. Even though freshman lawmakers are rarely afforded the
opportunity to serve on the powerful House committee, Ocasio-Cortez lobbied the Democratic Steering and Policy Committee to seat her
on the committee. The financial committee assignment would not only give the freshman Democrat a platform to advance her
agenda — which includes policies such as the New Green Deal to abolish fossil fuels and universal Medicaid —
but it would also allow her to shift the Democrats' stance on financial issues further to the left.
Ocasio-Cortez
Uses Violent Sexual Term To Describe Her Far-Left Agenda. Former law enforcement officials called out socialist
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) for using a violent sexual term on Wednesday [1/16/2019] in an interview that was published
in The Washington Post. Ocasio-Cortez complained in the interview that the media was "focusing on taking quotes out of context
or manipulating them or making it seem as though I said things that I didn't say." A few sentences later, she said, "So enjoy
being exhausted for the next two years while we run train on the progressive agenda." [...] The Washington Free Beacon noted that
while Ocasio-Cortez most likely meant "she and her fellow liberal Democrats would enthusiastically pursue their agenda items,
'run train' is known as a crude sexual term, which is sometimes used to denote acting in an aggressive manner."
The devil is
using the Democratic Party to destroy America. New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the party's new "star"
and a symbol and proponent of democratic socialism. She told "60 Minutes" she was a "radical"; "advocated free health care
for everyone"; and proposed a "top tax rate of 70 percent like the U.K. (falsehood — it's 45 percent), Finland
or Sweden" (miniscule and easily manageable populations of 5 and 10 million compared to our 350 million). Our
already $22 trillion debt would quickly explode from this delusional scheme, devastating millions, collapse our economy and
result in rioting like in Venezuela. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, a communist, has announced the availability of total
health care — primary, specialty, pediatric, OBGYN, geriatric and mental — for all 9.5 million residents,
including 300,000 illegal immigrants, 600,000 uninsured and anyone with pre-existing conditions. Simply call a 311 number.
He proposes the government assume authority over everyone's property and pushes for universal free pre-K child-care and marijuana
legalization. Additionally, Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Hillary Clinton propose the "Reproductive Health Act" be enacted
immediately to codify abortion guaranteed up until birth in New York.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez, the voice of an ignorant generation. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's ignorance of economics and
foreign affairs typifies her generation. Despite holding expensive degrees in both Economics and International Relations
from Boston University, Ocasio-Cortez threw up her hands in exasperation during an interview on Margaret Hoover's "Firing Line"
program, laughing, "I'm not the expert on geopolitics." Fortunately for her, in the land of the blind, the one eyed man
is king; and among a blithely ignorant generation, the lightly educated activist is congresswoman. The seed of Millennial
miseducation, which grew into the Tree of the Lack of Knowledge as activist educators substituted ideology for scholarship, is
finally bearing its rotten fruit.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez, Keep Destroying the Democratic Party. A split in the Democratic Party has developed. New
Socialist U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has taken no time in rocking the left-wing boat led by establishment
politicians Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). Since day one, she stated that
the policies were not progressive enough. This week she made fun of former vice presidential candidate Joe Lieberman's
age. As she tries to pull the party further to the left, the Democrats will not be the only ones suffering.
Lieberman who has not been in the news much lately made an appearance on Fox News Business and interviewed on Neil Cavuto
Coast to Coast. Lieberman offered a sharp rebuke of AOC as she also is known. He said that she was not the future
of the liberal caucus and if she was the party was over.
Ocasio-Cortez
zooms to #2 on Twitter during the past month. [I]t increasingly seems as if 29-year-old democratic socialist
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is quickly becoming the best known House member, Democrat, and politician (with the exception of the
POTUS) in the United States. Ocasio-Cortez, having dispatched a ten-term congressman in a primary election last June,
became the youngest female elected to the Congress when she took her seat in the House on January 3. Since exploding
into public awareness last summer, she has increased her profile and become the leading voice of the new far left socialist base
of the Democratic Party.
Ocasio-Cortez
rules: Dems built her up, now she's battling Dem attempts to control her. The House Democrats have more
on their plate than fighting against President Donald Trump and his wall: Democratic Socialist Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez or AOC as she's known by her posse. Ever since Ocasio-Cortez won her primary against a veteran
congressman the light has shown brightly on her. This has left a lot of veteran Democrats to grow weary of her.
Exasperated
Democrats try to rein in Ocasio-Cortez. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is already making enemies in the House
Democratic Caucus — and some of its members are mounting an operation to bring the anti-establishment, democratic
socialist with 2.2 million Twitter followers into the fold. The effort, described by nearly 20 lawmakers and aides, is
part carrot, part stick: Some lawmakers with ties to Ocasio-Cortez are hoping to coax her into using her star power to
unite Democrats and turn her fire on Republicans. Others simultaneously warn Ocasio-Cortez is destined for a lonely,
ineffectual career in Congress if she continues to treat her own party as the enemy.
Ocasio-Cortez
passed over for influential House committee. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez didn't get a seat on the
powerful tax writing committee where she sought to push her progressive agenda of Medicare for All, free college tuition and
a green new deal. Instead, the open downstate New York slot on the House Ways and Means Committee went to a moderate
Democrat, Long Island Rep. Tom Suozzi, a former CPA, attorney and county executive. Suozzi will assume the
committee seat of Rep. Joe Crowley, the Queens Democrat Ocasio-Cortez defeated last year in a stunning upset.
Is
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Really the Democratic Future? There is little doubt that Congresswoman Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez, representing parts of Queens and the Bronx, is being treated as a leader of a new Democratic swing to the
left. Nor is there much doubt that the media-savvy upset winner in New York's 14th congressional district combines
personal charisma with a knack for policy packaging, as with her "Green New Deal." But before she's anointed as
representative of a political trend, it's worth looking closely at how many — or how few — votes she
received compared with other members of Congress, including moderate Democrats, and what that says about a little-discussed
aspect of how congressional districts are drawn: the role of non-citizen immigrants. [...] In Ocasio-Cortez's district,
Census data show that 47 percent of residents are foreign-born, compared with 13 percent for the nation overall.
That helps explain how the self-styled democratic socialist won her key primary election with so few votes: just 16,898,
out of a total of just 29,000 cast.
'Democratic
Socialist' Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Fined by New York for Failing to Provide Workers' Comp. "Democratic
socialist" Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has been fined by the State of New York for failing to carry workers' compensation
insurance for a month during her congressional campaign last year. [...] Ocasio-Cortez has styled herself as a champion of
workers' rights — against greedy employers.
Ocasio-Cortez
Has Twitter Meltdown After Finally Being Fact-Checked By The Liberal Media. On Monday [1/7/2019], openly
Socialist Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ("AOC" for short) had a meltdown on Twitter after finally being held to the
fact-checking standards that President Trump is. Her meltdown began after The Washington Post published a piece called
"Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's very bad defense of her falsehoods," where they called her out for showing a "tendency to exaggerate
or misstate basic facts."
The
Racist Nerve of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. In July, Ocasio-Cortez gave her now-infamous interview on PBS's
"Firing Line," in which she was unable to articulate any knowledge of the Middle East, save for her assertion that there was
an "occupation of Palestine" causing an "increasing crisis of humanitarian condition." Pressed, she referred to
"settlements that are increasing in some of these areas ... where Palestinians are experiencing difficulty in access to
their housing." In reality, Israel's stunning victory against explicitly genocidal Arab armies in 1967 brought superior
healthcare, increased longevity, higher education, and economic opportunity to Arabs in the region previously derided by
Jordan as the "West Bank."
Socialism's
call to the deluded. As every public-spirited citizen of these United States knows by now, 29-year-old
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the youngest woman ever elected to Congress. She, of a sudden, represents New York's 14th
Congresional District, having beaten what the mainstream media calls an old white male by the name of Joe Crowley, though why
the color of his skin should matter is a mystery. Miss Ocasio-Cortez also has perfectly lovely white skin, much like
Mr. Crowley and even Sen. Elizabeth Warren, despite her ever-changing genealogy. Yet only Mr. Crowley
receives the media's "white skin" charge. Actually, I am not certain Miss Ocasio-Cortez is really 29 years old. I
have reviewed her public utterances since she entered public life some 12 months ago and she sounds more like a 14-year-old.
Yet somewhere along the way she acquired a taste for economics, which in her flighty mind she confuses with expropriation of the
wealth of those she considers "rich."
Ocasio-Cortez
Suggests Illegal Immigrants 'More American' Than Trump Supporters. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)
responded to President Donald Trump's Oval Office address Tuesday evening, claiming illegal immigrants "act more American" than
proponents of strong border security. In an interview with MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, Ocasio-Cortez accused President Trump
of holding the paychecks of furloughed government workers "hostage" to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border, a proposal the
self-avowed Democrat-socialist described as a "campaign fantasy." "In the actual address, there was falsehood after
falsehood and we have to make sure that we get our facts straight. Everyday immigrants commit crimes at a far lower
rate than native-born Americans," Ocasio-Cortez said. "And not only that but the women and children on that border that
are trying to seek refuge and seek opportunity in the United States of America with nothing but the shirt on their backs are
acting more American than any person who seeks to keep them out ever will be."
The Editor says...
Unfortunately, the poorly-educated masses, fresh out of public schools, are susceptible to tear-jerking rhetoric of this sort,
and the Socialists know it.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez flaunts her ignorance. [Scroll down] I don't know what's more pathetic: the fact that Ms. Ocasio-Cortez
is unable to differentiate between a constitutional monarchy and a constitutional republic or the fact that Anderson Cooper may not know, either.
[...] While Ms. Cortez may not recall the boring details of Tsar Nicholas II and his family's savage demise by the socialists,
I have no doubt she will continue to indulge the media by flaunting more of her effervescing ignorance.
Our
New 'Most Dangerous of Morons'. You see, like Barack Obama, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a most dangerous of morons:
the moron who doesn't know she's a moron. And she's not afraid to prove it every day. Like Barry, she is almost too easy
to mock, as CRTV host Allie Stuckey did way back in July. I'm looking forward to doing the same.
We
Have Met The Enemy, And He Is Not At All What We Had Expected. I am seeing more and more articles popping up
confirming that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is not the dumb girl from the Bronx she pretended to be on her way to getting
elected. The new Congresswoman for New York's 14th congressional district is now only loosely maintaining the ditzy
ruse she and the DNC cooked up in order to attract more of the emerging, dumbbell, snowflake left. [...] She is NOT stupid,
folks. She is DECEPTIVE. When she staged the hammy protest outside of Pelosi's office last November, I am certain she
had cleared the whole matter with Nancy before it ever happened. But the morons it was supposed to impress completely
swallowed the bait.
Cream
puff journalism: CBS's 60 Minutes 'interviews' Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. In an example of journalism used
to conceal, rather than expose, truth, CBS's 60 Minutes can stand up and take a bow for its mother of all puff pieces on New
York's newly elected socialist congresswoman, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Cream puff journalism at its finest. [Indeed],
it was a campaign ad. Or call it a belated campaign contribution, because it was anything but hard-hitting.
Ocasio-Cortez
Blasts Politifact, WaPo for Fact Checking: 'I Say True Things All the Time'. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
(D., N.Y.) on Monday [1/7/2019] blasted multiple fact-checking media sources for their coverage of her statements, saying, "I
say true things all the time." Ocasio-Cortez, who was sworn into office last Thursday, is evidently not happy about the
scrutiny she's received from fact-checkers. In a Twitter thread, she targeted the Washington Post and
Politifact, saying "false equivalency [and] bias creeps in" with their fact checks.
She
went there — Ocasio-Cortez calls Trump a racist on '60 Minutes'. "The president certainly didn't
invent racism," Ocasio-Cortez said. "But he's certainly given a voice to it and expanded it and created a platform for
those things." "Do you believe President Trump is a racist?" [Anderson] Cooper asked. "Yeah. Yeah. No
question," Ocasio-Cortez replied. Cooper asked her to explain why. "When you look at the words that he uses,
which are historic dog whistles of white supremacy," she answered.
The New Kakistocracy. The
Democrats didn't bring in any new blood from their previous team of leadership — the one which frittered away
their previous majority. You've still got Steny Hoyer as the majority leader and James Clyburn as the whip, neither of
whom are particularly good spokesmen for what they'd like to present as a youthful, hip, and energetic political
movement. For that presentation, by the way, on offer is the freshman class — the most prominent names in
which are Ilhan Omar, a Somali Muslim from Minneapolis who it appears might be married to her own brother and whose only
contribution to the national debate so far seems to be a radical hatred of Israel, and the comically ignorant Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez, whose façade of street-kid tough upbringing is as poorly constructed as her understanding of civics and
economics.
AOC: Shadow Speaker.
To get a sense of how powerful freshman Congressmember (her preferred title) Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is, just look at her
effect on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Specifically, look at the difference between Pelosi's inaugural speech in 2019
and her speech in 2007, when the California Democrat was elected the first female speaker in U.S. history. Back then,
Pelosi offered several tributes to American soldiers fighting in Iraq. We must honor our military, veterans and first
responders as "the heroes that they are," she graciously offered. That sentiment was met with a rousing standing
ovation from both sides of the aisle. The question of climate change — then gaining attention as a key issue
thanks to Al Gore's documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth," released the year before — merited only one
sentence. But Pelosi's message on Thursday [1/3/2019] was almost directly and proportionately reversed.
Ocasio-Cortez
says 'gotta run' when asked about shutdown pay. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez still won't say whether
she's giving up her salary during the partial government shutdown — a move she previously advocated for all
lawmakers. "I've gotta run!" Ocasio-Cortez told The Post when asked the question Thursday [1/3/2019] on Capitol
Hill. She then scampered down a crowded hallway to get in line for her mock swearing-in with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Ocasio-Cortez
Accuses White House Of 'Starving Out' Puerto Rico. Democratic New York Rep-Elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
amplified her criticism of President Trump's handling of Puerto Rico's recovery in a late-night tweet on Friday [12/28/2018].
"The White House is starving out the island of Puerto Rico by denying the disaster recovery funds it needs," Ocasio-Cortez
said. "First went the schools. Now, women are going missing across the island. If we let this to happen
to some Americans, what prevents it from happening to others? To all of us?"
Ocasio-Cortez
Must Have Missed Sunday School Because Even Her Account of Jesus' Birth Is False. Congresswoman-elect
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the socialist darling from New York, never seems to take a break from political gaffes, even on
Christmas. Instead, she used the day to push the false notion that Jesus was a refugee. It wasn't long before
conservatives tore into her utterly false statements. After all, Ocasio-Cortez decided to use the biggest holiday in
the world to push her own political agenda.
Scripture
Scholar Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, SJW. Following in the footsteps left by Elizabeth Warren's moccasins, this
past Hanukah, while speaking to a Jewish group, Alexandria announced her Jewish ancestry. Weeks later, for Christmas,
AOC got in touch with her Catholic roots when she compared Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus, asleep in a manger, to the hordes of
unrestrained refugees illegally forcing their way across America's southern border. [...] Conveniently, Ocasio-Cortez left
out the part [in the Biblical account] about Christ being born in Bethlehem after Joseph and Mary returned home to
participate in a census. [...] When cherry-picking for someone, anyone to support her weak argument, Alexandria selected a
renowned liberal left-wing priest whose article compared Jesus's family fleeing to Egypt to avoid Herod's edict to slaughter
male babies with refugee children escaping Central America in the arms of felonious parents.
The Editor says...
Godless baby-killing Democrats have no use for Christianity or Christmas except as an emotional tool to promote socialism.
Ocasio-Cortez
completely schooled when she lists better ways to spend $5.7 billion than on border wall. Schooling
Representative-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez may never get old. The New York Democratic socialist who regularly
entertains with her embarrassing political gaffes just sparked another round of social media face-palms. Ocasio-Cortez
questioned how Republicans planned to pay for President Trump's proposed border wall after passing a spending bill allocating
$5.7 billion for it. The freshman lawmaker suggested other options for spending the money, such as increasing pay
for teachers, subsidies for college tuition and "green jobs."
The Editor says...
Democrats can always suggest ways to spend money. Ways to avoid spending money (or cut back on waste)
never come to mind.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez Uses Obamacare Con to Lead Millennials Astray. It can be painful to watch the government, media,
and left lead America's young people, most especially millennials, astray. On top of being brainwashed into humorless
censors and joyless puritans, the debt they are pressured to take on is beyond belief. To begin with, there is college
tuition. I graduated high school in 1984 (barely), and even during those saner times, when tuition was much more
reasonable, I had no desire to go to college, primarily due to the cost. The idea of enslaving myself to a monthly
payment before I even had the chance to be young and free was intolerable. Nowadays, though, tuition costs are not only
insane, a number of degrees that once required four years of study, now require five. Talk about a scam.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez announces 'self-care' break before congressional session even starts. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
needs a break. The Bronx-bred democratic socialist heading into her freshman term in the House of Representatives
announced Monday she's taking some time off to take care of herself before she officially starts her new job — and
she's taking her supporters along for the ride. "I'm taking a few days to take care of myself before what is sure to be
an eventful term," the incoming New York congresswoman tweeted.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez ramps up the teacher's-pet act. Out of the blue, socialist congresswoman-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,
29, has started something with outgoing White House chief of staff John Kelly, calling on him to apologize for the "he-said, she-said"
scrap he had a while back with Florida Democratic congresswoman Frederica Wilson over the sensitivity of an official phone call to a
slain serviceman's grieving family. Talk about a baseless argument. And talk about a useless fight she has nothing to gain
from. She's not going to get the apology she wants from Kelly, who is unlikely to have been lying, as Wilson claims, and what's
more, she wouldn't benefit politically even if she did. Just taking the side of the clownish posturer Wilson with her many
sequined cowboy hats over the ramrod-straight Kelly, who lost a son in Afghanistan, makes Ocasio-Cortez look like a fool.
Why
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez drives conservatives crazy. One can partly understand why Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,
the hilariously ignorant young socialist recently elected to a House seat from the Bronx and Queens, has soared to the top of
the Republicans' naughty list. For one thing, the Democrats and their reliably obsequious media allies already have
elevated her far above what one might expect for a safe-seat shoo-in from an abjectly Democratic district who has not yet
served a single day in office: They're already asking her about running for president, perhaps sharing a ticket with
Robert Francis O'Rourke, the Texas Democrat formerly known as "Who?" Politics in the age of the 120-second news cycle
is an endless game of Whac-a-Mole, and Ocasio-Cortez is the one with her head currently above ground.
Curt
Schilling ripped for his attack on Ocasio-Cortez's intelligence. Former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling took a
swing at Bronx Congresswoman-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, slamming her intelligence after she complained that her ideas
are being scrutinized because of her young age. The 29-year-old Democratic Socialist responded this week to what she
considered a double standard she has observed in press coverage of herself compared to House Speaker Paul Ryan, the Boston
Globe reported. "Double standards are Paul Ryan being elected at 28 and immediately being given the benefit of his
ill-considered policies considered genius; and me winning a primary at 28 to immediately be treated with suspicion &
scrutinized, down to my clothing, of being a fraud," she tweeted.
Ocasio-Cortez Is a
Pain in Pelosi's Agenda. Nancy Pelosi should be happier than she seems. The Democrats recently harvested
enough votes to retake the House of Representatives, and she will again be elected Speaker of that body in January. But
a lot has changed since 2011, when she last held the gavel. She isn't accustomed to being ambushed on live television
by the President about border security, or having newly minted members of her own caucus demand the creation of select
committees while encouraging activists to besiege her office. Pelosi no doubt feels nostalgic about Barack Obama
and Joe Crowley when musing about Donald Trump and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Jerry
Brown Says Dems Are Becoming Too Extreme — Ocasio-Cortez Proves Him Right. Things must be pretty bad
in the Democratic Party if outgoing California Gov. Jerry Brown thinks the party is out of touch with mainstream
America. But then again, look at what the party's new socialist darling, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, is now successfully
pushing. In a radio interview this week, Brown said that the Democratic Party has gone "further out than I think the
majority of people want." Brown was talking mostly about his own state's Democrats, which now completely dominate the
state government and might go off the deep end.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez goes full Fredo (and beyond). Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is upset that people don't appreciate her
intelligence and depth. It turns out that people notice when she says stupid things, such as nattering on about the
"three chambers of government" or not understanding that Pentagon accounting errors don't yield a pot of money available for
her pet scheme of "Medicare for All." Preparing to become a solon in the House of Representatives is not at all like
being a hot chick working her previous occupation of bartending, where pretty much anything she said was eagerly appreciated
by her male customers. Lots of generous tips, but few factual corrections in that environment for a slender, comely
female with high cheekbones and a taste for fashionable clothing.
Disgrace:
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Attacks Gold Star Father John Kelly as a Coward. Woke 29-year-old Congresswoman-elect
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez went after White House Chief of Staff John Kelly yesterday. Why? She wants him to
apologize to Democrat Rep. Frederica Wilson for supposedly "lying" about her to reporters. [Tweet] "Cowardice."
Quite a big word to use against a four-star Marine Corps general whose son was killed in Afghanistan. Wilson's spat with
Kelly came last year when she alleged President Trump disrespected a military family during a phone call.
Ocasio-Cortez,
29, Should Be Able to Run for President, Argues This Group. Wednesday's lengthy piece, "It's ridiculous that
it's unconstitutional for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to run for president," declared that everyone from immigrants to recent
college grads should be eligible. Vox co-founder and senior correspondent Matthew Yglesias wrote that "phenomenon"
Ocasio-Cortez "is the biggest star in the Democratic Party," and therefore it is "completely ridiculous" that the
Constitution makes anyone under the age of 35 ineligible to run for president of the United States.
Ocasio-Cortez
Claims Jewish Ancestry During Hanukkah Event. Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claimed for the first time
publicly on Sunday that she has Jewish ancestry while speaking during a Hanukkah event in her home borough of Queens. [...]
"[My family has] been doing a lot of family trees in the last couple of years," Ocasio-Cortez said. "And one of the
things a lot of people don't know about Puerto Rico, and something we discovered ourselves, is that a long time ago, many
generations ago, my family consisted of Sephardic Jews."
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez reveals Jewish ancestry: 'I knew it!'. Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez revealed she has
Jewish ancestry during a Hanukkah candle-lighting event Sunday in New York. The newly elected Democrat told a Queens
audience at an event organized by Jews for Racial and Economic Justice that she recently traced her ancestry back to
15th-century Sephardic Jews. "I knew it! I sensed it!" Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said, pointing out an audience
member who reacted to her news, NBC reported.
Elizabeth
Warren II: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez [is] Now Claiming Jewish Ancestry. Also a political movement that goes nuts
over white kids wearing sombreros is really casual about lefties falsely claiming to be Indian and Jewish. Cortez is
the daughter of an architect from Westchester who claimed to be the girl from the Bronx. She had plenty of cash, but
claimed to be unable to afford a D.C. apartment. And she wants to run for president, but knows less about civics than
most first graders. So why not? Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is anti-Israel, but is claiming Jewish ancestry at an
event by a radical leftist hate group that has defended anti-Semites.
Why
Ocasio-Cortez Must Be Engaged, Critiqued, And Winsomely Trolled. A socialist who hasn't even taken power
yet — already threatening to use to said power to leverage revenge against someone for saying something she can't
laugh off — and willing to threaten the viability of the first amendment in the process. [...] I've never
witnessed an incoming freshman in the House that has ever had as much force behind them. In spite of a readily evident
vapid knowledge of basics, she is a fast adapter, and an emotional and effective communicator and social media consumer.
For all of those reasons we must engage, confront with truth and winsomely dispense with her most emotionally charged but
intellectually dishonest ideas.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez: 'Eliminate' Electoral College, It 'Undermines' Democracy. Now that the Senate has confirmed
Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, some Democrats are turning their fire on the idea that each state should be equally
represented in the upper chamber of Congress. "The idea that North Dakota and New York get the same representation in
the Senate has to change," NBC national security reporter Ken Dilanian tweeted. Others, like GQ correspondent Julia
Ioffe, took issue with the Electoral College, which allowed Presidents George W. Bush and Donald Trump to place four
justices on the Court, even though Bush and Trump lost the popular vote in 2000 and 2016, respectively. One politician
who endorsed Ioffe's argument is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the democratic socialist running to represent New York's 14th
Congressional District.
Ocasio-Cortez
Violates House Ethics Rules, Threatens Trump Jr. For Trolling Her On Twitter. Last night [12/6/2018], Donald
Trump Jr. sparked a bit of a feud with incoming Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). He posted a meme to his
Instagram account that directly poked fun at Ocasio-Cortez and her self-proclaimed socialist affiliations, along with the caption
"It's funny cuz it's true!!!": [...] Ocasio-Cortez escalated by seemingly threatening to subpoena Trump Jr. once she takes
office in a month. Not only is this horrifically immature, it's also a violation of the House Ethics Manual.
Ocasio-Cortez
already threatening to abuse her office before even being sworn-in. Once again, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is demonstrating
her shaky understanding of the job she was elected to do in what she called one of the "three chambers of government." Yesterday [12/7/2018],
she was obviously ticked off when Donald Trump, Jr sent out a meme on Instagram mocking her love for socialism, even in the face
of the specter of the actual consequences of socialism on view in Venezuela, where people are starving and eating anything they can get
their hands on, including zoo animals and even beloved household pets.
Rep-Elect
Ocasio-Cortez proves Mark Twain's quip. Newly minted Dem congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez once more
validated Mark Twain's quip, "Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress; but I repeat myself."
Numerous reports have accompanied O-C's tweet whereby she will pay her interns $15 an hour. [...] Unless she will pay interns
out of her own pocket, her virtue-mongering would easily fit within a congressional budget allotted to each member of
Congress [which is] approximately $1.3 mil, while sacrificing nothing.
Ocasio-Cortez
Is Embarrassingly Wrong About 'Death Panels'. Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who will represent New York in
Congress in January, has once again proven she's more interested in misleading Americans about single-payer health care than
having an honest debate that's based on the facts.
Ocasio-Cortez
didn't get memo Congress exempted itself from Obamacare. It accidentally blows up in her face. Socialist
congresswoman-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez managed this weekend to accidentally prove why the socialist-styled healthcare
she seeks would never in a million years actually work. She unwittingly accomplished this feat by tweeting out
complaints about America's current healthcare debacle, which as a reminder exists because of the former President Barack
Hussein Obama's socialist-light healthcare policy, the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare. "In my on-boarding to
Congress, I get to pick my insurance plan," she tweeted Saturday evening. "As a waitress, I had to pay more than TWICE
what I'd pay as a member of Congress."
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez: Impeach Trump now. Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez suggested Democrats, who take power
in the House next month, should not wait to begin impeachment proceedings against President Trump because "we have far
surpassed" the "standard" that the Republican Party used to impeach former President Bill Clinton. Ocasio-Cortez,
D-N.Y., during comments to reporters Friday [11/30/2018] on Capitol Hill, was asked if seeking impeachment is premature.
"Not to me," she replied. Democratic leaders during the 2018 campaign sought to play down the prospect that they would
try to remove the president from office.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez likens her election win to America's historic moon landing. Congresswoman-elect Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez sees her recent election victory as a watershed moment in world history akin to landing on the moon. The
New York Democrat told reporters on Friday that once again the U.S. is "at the brink, at the cusp of an abyss" that requires
citizens of a special kind of mettle. She says that such an elite group exists — and that she and other
newly elected Democrats are in it.
Are you sure she's just pretending to be ignorant? I think it's genuine. Ocasio-Cortez
Says She Feels Like An 'American Revolutionary,' Gets Mocked. Far-left Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said
online Wednesday night that she felt like an "American revolutionary" — and was promptly mocked by conservatives.
[...] The representative-elect's attempt to identify herself with the American revolutionaries was too much for some of her
critics, who responded online in hilarious fashion. "Wait until you hear about their perspective on limited government
and individual rights!" tweeted Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro. Others made similar remarks, noting that the
Founding Fathers "advocated against *almost* everything she stands for."
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez Promotes Death And Destruction Due To Climate Change With, Of Course, Bad Information. The
Democrat darling Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is coming along nicely in her embrace of the Democrats' more radical agendas as she
is now heralding the coming death and destruction brought about by climate change with a Gore-like gusto. "People are
going to die if we don't start addressing climate change ASAP," Ocasio-Cortez Tweeted out.
The Editor says...
"People are going to die" means nobody has died yet. An average temperature change of one degree per
century is imperceptible and won't hurt anyone.

Ocasio-Cortez Compares Migrant Caravan To Jews Fleeing Holocaust. New York Democratic Rep.-elect Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez on Sunday [11/25/2018] compared members of the migrant caravan attempting to enter the United States to Jews
fleeing Nazi Germany during the Holocaust.
Ocasio-Cortez, Graham feud over
Holocaust refugee comparison. Congresswoman-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who is set to represent New York's
14th congressional district in the US House of Representatives next January, doubled down on her comparison between Jewish
Holocaust refugees fleeing genocide in Europe to illegal immigrants making their way towards the US in the so-called "migrant
caravan". Ocasio-Cortez, who at 29 is set to become Congress's youngest female lawmaker ever, sparked controversy on
Monday when she compared illegal immigrants from Central America who attempted to cross into the United States over the
weekend in what has been dubbed the "migrant caravan" with Jews attempting to escape Nazi Germany.
Senator
Lindsey Graham Calls Out Anti-Semitic Democrat Congresswoman For Her Inane Holocaust Statement. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez's is dangerously dumb and today [11/26/2018] Senator Lindsey Graham rightfully called out another of her
stunningly stupid comments. This one came in the form of a pro-invasion stance in which Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez
likened the would-be illegals crashing the gates of the U.S. southern border to Jewish Holocaust victims and families fleeing
Rwandan genocide in the 1990's.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez: From Renegade Star to Party Tool. Fresh off their victory in the United States House of
Representatives, the new batch of young, social democrats are goose-stepping their way up to Capitol Hill already. The
most prominent among these young socialist guns is New York's Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. She recently made waves when
she bashed Amazon's decision to split their second headquarters in two, placing one in her congressional district in New York
City (the other will be placed in Northern Virginia, just outside of Washington, D.C.). [...] Unfortunately for her, the tech
sector (and, specifically Jeff Bezos' Amazon) overwhelmingly support the Democratic Party. What Cortez did was to
effectively bite the hand that feeds her (and her party). This is a strange occurrence, since Cortez (and those other young
democratic socialists who won in 2018) is seen as the face of the future Democratic Party.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez Won't Be the One to Finally Make Socialism Work. I receive near-daily emails from The
Nation, the hard-left publication that never acknowledged a communist atrocity nor has recognized any socialist
failure. From what I can tell, the editors are downright giddy, as they see socialism in the USA on the rise, with the
bookends of the elderly Bernie Sanders on one side and the camera-friendly Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on the other, both ably
promoting socialism to a new generation of people ready to overthrow the alleged chains of capitalism. My many writings
on Bernie Sanders do not need anything new to add. If his past association with groups supporting the murderous and
violent Leon Trotsky and Che Guevera do not discredit him with the modern media, then nothing will, and no further expose of
his utterly-flawed worldview will change any minds or educate an adoring media that refuses to recognize the evils of
totalitarianism.
House
Democrats Don't Know What to Make of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. She came into Washington like a wrecking
ball. Just on Saturday [11/17/2018], Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez announced that she will be working with progressive
activists to bring primary challenges against some of the more conservative Democrats in Congress, her own soon-to-be
colleagues. This was after she joined a protest in the office of Democratic Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, and after
she'd spent a week doggedly documenting congressional orientation on Instagram for her followers and clapping back at her
many critics on Twitter.
Ocasio-Cortez
Responds to Republicans Criticizing Her Over Latest Mistake. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hit back at Republicans
for criticizing her latest misstep, saying they need to stop "drooling" over every word that comes out of her mouth.
"Maybe instead of Republicans drooling over every minute of footage of me in slow-mo, waiting to chop up word slips that I
correct in real-tomd, they actually step up enough to make the argument they want to make: that they don't believe people
deserve a right to healthcare," she said in response to a Republican state lawmaker wondering if the Democratic Socialist
could explain a "chamber of government."
Nor does she care. Ocasio-Cortez
Has No Idea What The 3 Branches Of Government Are. Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez revealed this
weekend that she has no idea what the three branches of the U.S. government are during a conference call with prospective
far-left political candidates. "If we work [hard] to make sure that we take back all three chambers of Congress —
uh, rather, all three chambers of government: the presidency, the Senate, and the House," Ocasio-Cortez said on Saturday
[11/17/2018] while on a call with Justice Democrats.
World
Socialists Go On Attack Against Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. See, it is not only libertarians who split into
factions, some being more hardcore than others. The World Socialist Web Site published by the International Committee
of the Fourth International has just published a fierce attack on Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. [...] The
hardcore WSWS has a point. Ocasio-Cortez is a sellout commie. She will do whatever it takes to get attention and
there is no way she is going to be radical on tough issues. This babe will pay attention to which way the wind is
blowing and only take "extreme" lefty positions when it will gain her positive support from the establishment lefty media.
Ocasio-Cortez
plays victim after taking heat for flubbing the 3 branches of government — Twice. For someone who
has thrust herself on the national stage, Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez sure has thin skin. The proud democratic socialist
and newly elected congresswoman from New York has a knack for making confusing statements, or "word slips," as she calls
them, and is real quick to play the victim if anyone calls attention to them. Her latest flub occurred on Saturday when
Ocasio-Cortez called for taking back "all three chambers of Congress," before quickly correcting herself to say "all three
chambers of government," naming the presidency along with the House and Senate.
Ocasio-Cortez
Prepares For War - On Her Own Party. She hasn't even drawn her first paycheck as a member of Congress yet and
won't be casting any votes for a couple of months, but the political media is already flitting around Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez like moths surrounding a streetlight. And she's responding to all the attention by setting a big agenda
for herself. Rather than worrying about expanding the Democratic majority in the House two years from now or taking
back the Senate, however, the newly elected socialist from New York has a different target in mind. She's heading up a
new coalition aimed at removing more Democrats in the next round of primaries and replacing them with more "diverse"
candidates. You won't need three guesses to figure out what that means.
The Manchurian Counterfeit.
Encapsulating the point I am trying to make here (that we have generally raised impressionable morons for our citizenry) is
the sad fact that only 40% of law grads managed to pass the California Bar exam this year. No doubt, given the trend at
hand they, and maybe other states, will dumb down future exams. Or perhaps all the dumb grads will just be given law
licenses for having participated in attending law school.
The Manchurian Counterfeit.
Don't let anyone tell you that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is another dumbbell added to the roster of liberal morons. Because neither
assessment is accurate. Cortez and the people she is in league with are as dumb as the devil who runs that political party. [...]
She and all that comes with her constitute an unprecedented level of danger to an America that is, as we watch, slipping into
unconsciousness. There is nothing sweet or innocent about her. She should be handled like a pit viper.
Ocasio-Cortez
gets in closed-door fight with veteran lawmaker over climate change. A fight broke out in a closed-door meeting
of House Democrats over climate change as a powerful veteran lawmaker fought with freshman star Rep.-elect Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez and other members-elect over the creation of a special panel for the issue. New Jersey Rep. Frank
Pallone, incoming chairman of the powerful Energy and Commerce Committee — backed by a number of other committee
members — slammed the creation of the new climate panel, according to multiple sources in the room. Pallone
argued that his committee and other existing panels within the House could take on the issue aggressively.
It's the Ocasio-Cortez party
now — Nancy Pelosi is just leading it. Socialist know-nothing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the future
of the Democrat Party. Nancy Pelosi is its past, but she's probably its present too despite threats to deny her another
Speakership. The Ocasio-Cortez contingent in the party has determined that Nancy Pelosi simply isn't radical
enough. That will be news to many on the American Right for whom she has served as a longtime bête noir and
whose strident advocacy of San Francisco values provided fodder for countless Republican campaign ads and fundraising
letters. For Republicans she's a radical who favors amnesty, citizenship, and voting rights for illegal aliens,
government funded abortion on demand, and impeaching the president. But in the current Democrat Party she's a mushy
moderate. For her part, Ocasio-Cortez spent Tuesday, her first day in Washington, DC, protesting climate change in
Pelosi's office. And here I thought climate change was President Trump's fault.
Ocasio-Cortez
turning into a nightmare for Congressional Dems. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is claiming that she is being
discriminated against by House Democrats, implying racism. It turns out that she not only brings lots of media
attention, she also carries a truckload of attitude.
Ocasio-Cortez's
rise reveals rampant economic illiteracy in US. Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), made headlines
when she revealed that she wouldn't be able to afford Washington, D.C. rent until her government salary kicks in. The
lack of affordable housing in Washington is no joke, but the predicament also speaks to the young lawmaker's financial
literacy — or lack thereof. The 29-year-old didn't think to consider something as basic as the relocation
expenses of a new job opportunity. If she doesn't know how much an apartment costs, how much confidence should
taxpayers have in her ability to effectively deliver trillions of dollars in campaign promises?
Ocasio-Cortez
claims she can't afford DC apartment, but records show she has at least $15,000 in savings. Democratic
Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claims that she's unable to afford an apartment in Washington, D.C., until she begins
collecting her congressional salary, but records show she has more than enough to plunk down on an apartment in the U.S.
capital. The 29-year-old congresswoman-elect rose to fame after she defeated 10-term incumbent Rep. Joe Crowley in
New York's June primary and was elected to represent the state's 14th Congressional District last week.
Ocasio-Cortez
rips Fox News for cracking 'jokes' about her finances: It shows what they really think of working-class people.
Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) tore into Fox News hosts on Friday for "gleefully" cracking jokes about her finances,
saying that the hosts' comments revealed what their thoughts about working-class people. Ocasio-Cortez revealed on Thursday
[11/8/2018] that she will need to wait for her congressional salary to kick in before she can afford to rent an apartment in
D.C. A Fox News panel laughed on Friday [11/9/2018] as they discussed the incoming freshman lawmaker's finances.
Ocasio-Cortez
whining about not having a salary for three months to pay rent on a DC apartment. Representative-elect
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has a habit of wanting things that she has no idea how to pay for. Not merely government
programs like single-payer nationalized healthcare (currently being re-branded as "Medicare for all"), but her personal
expenditures. With federal programs, she claims to be puzzled by questions over how to pay for them. But with
personal issues such as writing a check for rent, at least she realizes that the money has to come from somewhere.
Rep.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Can't Figure Out How to Rent an Apartment on $174,000. Socialists are very unfamiliar
with the financial system. [#1] Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez isn't working class. She's an obnoxious hipster and the
daughter of an architect who grew up in Westchester. [#2] Intelligent adults prepare for stuff like this. Cortez beat
Crowley in June. At that point she knew that she was going to D.C. What was the plan then? This woman claims to have
all the answers to our economy, yet only began thinking about an apartment now? This is socialism in a nutshell. She's
talking about this in public because she's looking for someone else to do it for her. [...] [#4] Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a
dimwit and a grifter. It's a bad combination. That's why she's announcing this now.
Ocasio-Cortez
For House Speaker? 'I Don't Want to Bite Off More Than I Can Chew'. Democrat socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
was still celebrating her victory in New York's 14th Congressional District Tuesday night when she was asked her thoughts on
becoming speaker in the Democratic-controlled House. The 29-year-old laughed, and told Amy Goodman of the left-wing
news program Democracy Now, "I mean, I don't want to bite off more than I can chew." Goodman had asked Ocasio-Cortez
her stance on Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) returning as House speaker.
The
Great Progressive Collapse. Twenty-eight-year-old Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez pulled off an amazing feat.
No, not emerging victorious in her candidacy to represent New York's 14th District in Congress, an area that favors Democrats
by almost 30 points. Ocasio-Cortez's real accomplishment was how she managed to navigate several months of intense
media scrutiny without ever formulating a coherent response to the many interviewers who asked her how she intends to bridge
the financial gap between her hopes and dreams and their 13-figure price tags. In this high-wire act, she had the help
of some willing accomplices in the press. How should the country pay for the estimated $32 trillion it would cost
to nationalize the health-insurance industry, Ocasio-Cortez was recently asked? "You just pay for it," she averred to
credulous nods.
Ocasio-Cortez:
Trump Impeachment 'No-Brainer'. If anyone is familiar with "no-brainers," it is New York congressional
candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. After all, she believes in socialism, a prime indicator of having no brain.
Ocasio-Cortez ramped up her anti-Trump rhetoric, calling for his impeachment before she is even elected to Congress.
Ocasio-Cortez
on 'puzzling' question of how to fund Medicare for All: 'You just pay for it'. Democratic congressional
candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y) offered some vague answers to questions about how the country would pay for
Democratic Socialist initiatives like Medicare for All, again raising questions about whether there is any substance behind
the ambitious talking points. This is important because: Candidates like Ocasio-Cortez are becoming
increasingly common and popular, particularly among young voters who find their message appealing and inspiring. But,
at some point, someone is going to have to realistically explain how they plan to accomplish the things they're promising to
voters. What is her stance? Ocasio-Cortez starts off with a broad appeal to a "basic level of human
dignity:" "In a modern, moral and wealthy society, no person should be too poor to live. We should treat
healthcare, housing, and education as rights," she said.
Here's
the latest blindingly stupid thing commie Ocasio-Cortez said! She's like a cartoonish caricature of commies,
and she doesn't even know it. It's amazing to me that anyone could listen to this absolute drivel and really think she
is competent enough to hold office in this wonderful country.
O-Cortez
Sends Out a Hate-Filled Email in the Spirit of 'Dialing It Down'. A writer for Daily Wire tweeted the revolting
email sent out by communist/socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. It was hate-filled and meant to instill fear.
Writer Kassy Dillon added she should be ashamed. A world led by people like Cortez will be very dark indeed.
The
Nazi Roots of Climate Change. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Democratic candidate for Congress from New York's 14th
Congressional District (the Bronx and Queens), recently compared dealing with those who deny climate change and oppose her
party's measures to counter this "existential threat" to fighting the Nazis in WW II. We owe Ms. Ocasio-Cortez a
high degree of thanks for this important warning, but one awakening has to occur before we can take full advantage of its
true value. When it comes to "climate change" as well as other "environmentalist" issues, it is Ocasio-Cortez and her
party who have more in common with Hitler's Third Reich than the Republicans and conservatives who oppose them and whom they
smear as "Nazis" with remarks like hers. [...] The fact that modern Democrats share with the Nazis the claim that the only
way to heal what ails this planet and perhaps even prevent the demise of all of humanity is to put them in power certainly
has my alarms flashing.
The
Ever More Delusional Left. If Ocasio-Cortez wins a seat in the House, we can only pity her constituents.
She is very likely the most ignorant person ever to run for high office. "Beto" O'Rourk, that Irish guy pretending to be
Hispanic, is proud of his "F" rating from the NRA — in Texas! That is only one strike against this man; there are many
more. Krysten Simena regularly insults her state and its residents. She has called Arizona the "meth laboratory of
democracy." She believes "stay-at-home Moms are leeches." That only Joe Manchin voted to confirm Judge Kavanaugh
is proof that all-but-one Democrat in the Senate no longer believe in due process or the doctrine of innocent until proven
guilty. Each of them embraces the politics of personal destruction writ large.
Ocasio-Cortez
refuses to endorse Bernie Sanders 2020 run. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the Democratic socialist congressional
candidate who has spent weeks campaigning with fellow socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders, on Thursday refused to endorse his
prospective candidacy in the 2020 presidential race. Ocasio-Cortez, 29, worked as an organizer for Sanders' failed
presidential campaign in 2016 before winning in a surprise upset over longtime establishment Rep. Joe Crowley, D-N.Y.,
in the state's 14th Congressional District primary in May.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez: Nazis And Global Warming Are Like The Same Thing DUH! Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is just
the most fascinating person to follow in the area of politics. She won the Democratic primary in New York's 14th
congressional district defeating the incumbent Congressman, Democrat Chair Joe Crowley and she has been a tour de force
nationally ever since. Why? Because she says interesting things. Also really stupid things. The apple
of the eye of the American socialist movement said last night that we need to go after global warming like we did the Nazis
in Germany. Yup. If there is something that fascists & socialists know is making comparisons to political systems
they agree with.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez Reveals Her Plan to Overthrow the Supreme Court. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has shown her disdain
for American institutions, based on a false understanding of history. If she had power, she would destroy America's
federal system by abolishing the Electoral College and packing the Supreme Court. Yet more and more liberals are blaming
the system for their political losses, suggesting that the Senate — never intended to be democratic —
isn't democratic enough!
Ocasio-Cortez:
'There's no debate' that fossil fuel production should stop. Democratic House candidate Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez rallied an audience of supporters in Washington Thursday evening [10/11/2018] with calls to implement
single-payer health care and tuition-free college — along with an appeal to stop fossil fuel production
entirely. Ocasio-Cortez, who is running to represent New York's 14th Congressional District, has made no secret of her
opposition to fossil fuels. She's called for politicians to forsake donations from the industry and is pushing a "Green
New Deal" plan which entails a shift to 100 percent renewable energy by 2035.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez: We must 'eliminate the Electoral College'. New York congressional candidate Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, is calling for the abolition of the Electoral College, which
she referred to as a "shadow of slavery's power." "It is well past time we eliminate the Electoral College, a shadow of
slavery's power on America today that undermines our nation as a democratic republic," the 28-year-old tweeted Saturday [10/6/2018].
Far-Left
Democrat Ocasio-Cortez Calls To Abolish Electoral College. Far-left Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is
ramping-up attacks against the constitution. The Democrat hopeful took to Twitter over the weekend to slam the
electoral college as a "shadow of slavery's power."
Ocasio-Cortez
and Reality. [Scroll down] The young New York City native is a graduate of Boston University, where she
graduated cum laude with a degree in economics and international relations. She is proof of the claim that leftist
professors teach Marxism, not classical economics, when they indoctrinate the eager young people before them. Hardly
any of the collegians studying economics today are taught sound economic fundamentals. So Boston University is far from
alone in laundering the brains and common sense of young people, all of whom at these institutions are led to believe that
the rosy promises of government control never materialize. In a televised interview shortly after her primary victory,
veteran CNN anchor Jake Tapper asked the democratic socialist how she would finance her calls for universal healthcare,
housing as a federal right, job guarantees, tuition-free public college, cancellation of student college debt, and
more. He told her that the left-leaning Tax Policy Center estimated her goals would cost upwards of $40 trillion
over 10 years. The somewhat befuddled Ocasio-Cortez commented fuzzily that covering their costs could be achieved
by increasing taxes on both the wealthy and the corporate world.
Ocasio-Cortez:
We Can't Compromise With 'Insane People' on the Right 'Holding the Country Hostage'. Asked by Vanity
Fair how she intended to balance her desire for rapid, progressive change with the need in Washington to make deals,
Ocasio-Cortez said Democrats too often compromise even before getting to the table. "When you're dealing with these
insane people holding the country hostage on the right, you can't go in with your end point. You have to go in with a
strong position," she said. "If they're trying to end Planned Parenthood, I don't think we go in with, 'No, let's keep
Planned Parenthood.' I think we go in with, 'Let's expand women's rights to health care and have it guaranteed in every
state.' I think we can compromise on our tactics and how we get there, but we can't compromise where we're going."
Ocasio-Cortez
already plotting run for president? Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hasn't even been elected to Congress yet, but
she's apparently already moved onto running for president. While speaking to folks in what appears to be a basement,
the socialist darling is already thinking about being "inaugurated," an event reserved for a commander-in-chief.
Ocasio-Cortez
Hints Fox News Should Be Punished For Reporting On Her. Democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hinted on
Wednesday that Fox News should be punished for the network's reporting on her, claiming that they are "obsessed."
Ocasio-Cortez's remarks came after Fox News published an article based on a Tuesday report from The Daily Wire that showed
the 28-year-old suggesting that she would be "inaugurated" into office if she won her congressional race in November and that
she looked forward to signing bills into law.
Ocasio-Cortez
Proves She Has No Idea What Congress Does. Democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez showed her extreme
lack of knowledge about the basic roles of the three branches of the federal government during a speech on Monday, suggesting
that after she is "inaugurated" into office that she will begin signing bills into law. "After being spurned over, and
over, and over again, short-changed on healthcare, short-changed on criminal justice, short-changed on education, there's a
lot of folks who don't want to believe anymore," Ocasio-Cortez said. "And that's why what we have accomplished is such
an immense responsibility. It is a responsibility." "It doesn't mean you get everything tomorrow," Ocasio-Cortez
rambled. "As much as I would love that. I would love to get inaugurated January 3rd [and on] January 4th
we're signing healthcare, we're signing this..." Ocasio-Cortez seemed to be completely unaware of the fact that members of
Congress are sworn into office, not inaugurated like the President of the United States.
Ocasio-Cortez
Can't Answer How She Will Pay for $40 Trillion in Government Programs. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was unable to
answer on Sunday on how she will pay for her progressive agenda, which some think tanks have estimated would cost $40 trillion.
"Various new programs including Medicare for all, housing is a federal right, federal jobs guaranteed, tuition free public college,
canceling all student loan debt. According to nonpartisan and left leaning, tax policy center, the overall price tag is more
than $40 trillion in the next decade," CNN "State of the Union" host Jake Tapper said. "You recently said in an interview
increasing taxes on the very wealthy, [an] increased corporate tax rate, would make $2 trillion over the next 10 years.
Where is the other $38 trillion going to come from?" Ocasio-Cortez responded by stating Medicare for all would end up
saving the country money.
'Socialist'
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Wears $3,500 Outfit For Photo Shoot With Construction Workers. Socialists want
everybody to get everything — as long as they get theirs first. And socialists looooove money. Take
Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont Independent who touts himself as a socialist. He's got three houses, including a
shorefront house on Lake Champlain. Same goes for the hot new socialist, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. She's
everywhere now as she runs for a New York seat in the U.S. House. And with that comes money — and
bling. In a photo shoot for Interview magazine, Ocasio-Cortez was pictured wearing a $3,500 outfit as she posed with
construction workers. She was decked out in a Gabriela Hearst blazer ($1,990), Gabriela Hearst pants ($890), and some
Monolo Blahnik shoes ($625).
Gues
[sic] How Much Socialist Ocasio-Cortez' Outfit Cost — $49? $180? $3,500? If NYT weren't so busy reporting misleading
stories about Nikki Haley's curtains, maybe they would pick up on the hypocrisy of the budding Democrat Socialist Superstar, Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez. The New York Times, with their usual smug satisfaction, thought they'd scored with a 'gotcha' story implicating our
take-no-prisoners Ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley.
The "New" Left: The Democratic
Socialists of America. A radical leftist upstart's unexpected trouncing of a key member of the House Democratic
leadership in a primary is sending shockwaves through the Democratic Party establishment. I refer to Democratic
Socialists of America (DSA) member and first-time candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, at the time a 28-year-old of Puerto
Rican ancestry, who crushed longtime U.S. Rep. Joe Crowley, a 56-year-old Irish-American Catholic, in the June 26
primary election for the 14th congressional district in New York, covering parts of the boroughs of Queens and the Bronx.
Crowley chairs the House Democratic Caucus, the fourth-highest leadership position among House Democrats, and he was a leading
contender to become House Speaker, if Democrats regained control of that chamber. Ocasio-Cortez's victory made her an
instant star in leftist circles. Democratic National Committee (DNC) chairman Tom Perez promptly hailed her as "the
future of our party."
Ocasio-Cortez:
ICE 'sexually assaults women with impunity'. Socialist darling Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wants to abolish
Immigration and Customs Enforcement because it's full of rapists and child abusers. Or something. Ocasio-Cortez,
who won an upset primary against Chairman of the House Democratic Caucus U.S. Rep. Joe Crowley, took offense to a post
on Twitter by Townhall editor Katie Pavlich this week and attempted to set the record straight.
Socialist
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recruits children to help 'kick out' Trump. In Chicago, Democrats recruit the dead to
vote. In New York, they recruit children for their agenda. While Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was campaigning in
Queens today [9/1/2018], she attempted to sway a group of kids to her cause. [Video clip]
These
are the real scandals plaguing our country. Political suicide is the path other Dems are taking, as shown by
their embrace of any shiny new thing, including socialism. The leftward lurch got a jolt last June, when Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez, a 28-year-old former bartender, defeated incumbent Joe Crowley in a primary for a House seat in Queens.
In a flash, Ocasio-Cortez was the darling of the party, and some insiders declared she was its future. The movement
toward things that not even Bernie Sanders endorsed surged when she called for abolishing the Immigration and Customs
Enforcement police, known as ICE. Briefly, the idea felt unstoppable until cooler heads realized that [#1] abolishing the
agency would lead to border chaos and [#2] border chaos would lead to a GOP rout in the midterms. Besides, Ocasio-Cortez
turned out to know next to nothing about many things. Her claim that unemployment was low "because everyone has two jobs"
was a gift to comedians and Republicans.
The Dems' big problem. My
neighbors know they are being coaxed, prodded, and pushed to vote into office the new breed of progressive, socialist Democrats. They know
deep inside that the likes of the know-nothing new Dem members of Congress, the kid from Queens, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Muslim radical
Ashida Tlaib from Michigan, would spell financial disaster for them, but they have the required (D) after their names, and that's all they're
supposed to consider.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez Praised John McCain. Then Things Got Really Weird. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez did a very nice
thing Saturday, tweeting out a heartfelt tribute to the late Senator John McCain, whom she called "an unparalleled example of
human decency and American service." Being (mostly) a political amateur in a severely partisan social media landscape,
Ocasio-Cortez probably should have known that praise for a member of the opposing party wouldn't be received by her
progressive colleagues as a collegial olive branch extended in the spirit of McCain's "Maverick" reputation, but rather as an
open invitation to question her progressive bona fides. Things got heated, as leftists roasted Ocasio-Cortez from
straying from the party line and daring to suggest anyone right of Karl Marx might have had some good ideas.
Ocasio-Cortez
Campaign Spends Nearly $4,000 on Uber After Blaming Company's Success for Taxi Driver Suicides. New York
congressional candidate and Democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has repeatedly castigated ride-sharing giant Uber
and blamed its "unregulated expansion" after a yellow cab driver commited suicide, but her campaign has taken nearly $4,000
worth of Uber rides between April and late June. Ocasio-Cortez, who became a household name after defeating Democratic
incumbent Rep. Joe Crowley (D., N.Y.) back in June, has criticized Uber several times on Twitter as recently as March,
in a post flagged by Fox News. "NYC's fourth driver suicide. Yellow cab drivers are in financial ruin due to the
unregulated expansion of Uber. What was a living wage job now pays under minimum," she tweeted.
Ocasio-Cortez
Criticizes Uber Despite Campaign Spending Over $4K On Rides. New York congressional candidate Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez is being criticized for her contradicting stance on the state's ride-sharing cap. The self-proclaimed
Democratic socialist slammed Uber, saying the company led Yellow Cab drivers to suicide. Additionally, she said the
company exploits its drivers by not paying them enough.
How Far Left Can Democrats
Go? Democratic Socialist congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has become a media star and "future of the
Democratic Party" for her Far-Left platform, her amazingly ill-informed (if not just plain dumb) comments during interviews and the
near-zero batting average of her endorsed candidates. The old guard of the Democratic Party's national leadership has studiously
avoided being too closely associated with Ms. Ocasio-Cortez — former President Barack Obama pointedly failed to include
her in his first list of endorsees — and Democrat-oriented pundits have tended to dismiss her radicalism as a phenomenon of
New York City's leftwing politics. But as our friend John Gizzi documented in a recent column for NewsMax, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
is hardly the only radical Far-Left Democrat on the ballot this November, nor is she in many respects the most radical.
Ocasio-Cortez
Mourns Restaurant Driven Out Of Business By Minimum Wage Law She Backs. This week, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
"swung by" to say goodbye to a restaurant where she used to work. What she didn't say is that it is closing because the
owners can't afford New York City's soon-to-be $15 minimum wage — the very job-killing policy Ocasio-Cortez and
her fellow Democrats want to impose nationwide.
Don't blame Ocasio-Cortez —
blame her schooling. The Left's new IT Girl, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez can't seem to get it straight on
anything. We should not be amazed that this newly hatched Socialist Democrat is so clueless about the economy and
international relations: namely, at the moment, the Palestinian-Arab/Israeli conflict. On the economy, she's
prepared to give everything away for free — healthcare and education gratis for all, with no mention from where
the money is coming. On the Middle East, she's prepared to hand over territory that was Jewish since time
immemorial. In her lopsided view, the land belongs to the "Palestinians." That's her story and she is sticking
to it — though not fully. On PBS'S "Firing Line," she admitted that she is "not the expert" on the topic.
On what topic is she the expert? Nothing much, apparently, yet she will be sitting pretty in the next Congress after
her surprising defeat over a veteran incumbent.
Incompetent from day one: If
Ocasio-Cortez is going to run from debate, then she isn't really running [for office]. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a Democratic
socialist congressional candidate from New York City, missed an opportunity when she recently refused conservative political commentator Ben
Shapiro's invitation to debate. By turning down Shapiro's offer to donate $10,000 to her campaign if she would agree to a one-hour
televised debate on the issues and her socialist ideas, Ocasio-Cortez gave up a significant amount of money. But more importantly,
she showed she is afraid to defend her radical leftist ideas in a debate. Since the House of Representatives is in the business of
debating legislation whenever it is in session, it seems curious that a candidate who is afraid to debate wants to become a member.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez is a Gift to Conservatives. The 28-year-old bartender-turned Democrat is turning out to be an
endless fountain of hilariously bad political moments and brilliantly incorrect one-liners. Since she made her debut on
the political scene late June, she has had one blunder after another, demonstrating that she is consistently able to speak
authoritatively on anything other than bumper-sticker-slogan paraphrases of "democratic socialism" (don't ask her to define
democratic socialism, though).
Ocasio-Cortez
Proves Once Again That She is NOT Ready for the Spotlight. The election of 2016 may have been just the first of
many signs of a dying regime. Not only was the DNC in utter financial peril, but they then allowed themselves to be
co-opted by Hillary Clinton's coffers in exchange for a clear shot at the nomination. It was collusion at its finest,
but, given that The Clintons were involved, not a great many folks were surprised. Now it looks as though the left is
ready to hang their hopes on a democratic socialist named Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who, at 28 years young, has shown
her age for more often than her acumen.
Will
the media ever call out Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's ignorance? I know it's racist to call LeBron James dumb, but
what about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? The New York Democratic congressional candidate got at least some real questions
during an interview this week on CNN. If weren't for Ocasio-Cortez being an attractive minority, the rest of the media
would be calling her the next Sarah Palin. Democrats, if they're ethnic and look good on TV, typically get one question
from the press: "Are you running for president?"
Another
candidate endorsed by socialist darling loses badly. Is an endorsement smooch from the socialist Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez actually a kiss of electoral death? For Hawaii congressional candidate Kaniela Ing, the answer was yes,
as he became the fourth high-profile endorsee of Cortez to go down in flames in a primary this week, based on returns.
Is Ocasio-Cortez Afraid
of Candace Owens? Everyone's favorite Democratic socialite continues to entertain, and not merely because of
her unique views about how the world works beyond Westchester, NY. She has kept us in stitches with her claim that
Medicare-for-All will save the nation zillions in funeral expenses, her weird belief that questions about the costs of M4A
are merely GOP talking points, and her unique theory about the SCOTUS ruling in NFIB v. Sebelius. Now she
has us slapping our thighs with comical excuses for refusing to participate in a debate about the virtues of socialism versus
those of capitalism with black conservative Candace Owens.
The
Ocasio-Cortez Fizzle : It's Not a Beverage. On June 26, 2018, [Alexandria] Ocasio-Cortez garnered 15,897 votes
to Joe Crowley's 11,761, defeating the 10-term incumbent by almost 15 percentage points. A surprising loss sending Crowley
home weeping in disbelief. However, considering there are over 300,000 registered voters, 4.4% of the populous isn't a huge
bragging point for Cortez. And one should consider that in a district where Hispanics outnumber whites over 2.5 times,
a young socialist leaning girl with a "everything for free" message could draw more attention than a older white guy
even though he outspent her 19 times.
Lou
Dobbs Crushes Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Dreams In Brutal Rant. Democrats are cheering on their latest idol,
socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. She gained popularity by saying she will give everyone a lot of free things.
When Ocasio-Cortez was asked how she would pay for all these things, she claimed that since Medicaid will save everyone's
lives, there will be no more funeral expenses. Fox News anchor Lou Dobbs commented on this bizarre politician. He
was spot on. "Ocasio-Cortez is suddenly anointed the face of the Democratic Party. I have to say, it is a motion
that I would hardly second and endorse fully because she knows nothing about economics," said Dobbs.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez, Airhead. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, girl socialist, may know what the Gini coefficient is, but
she doesn't know much else. The Washington Post fact checked a series of recent claims by Ocasio-Cortez and found all
of them to be false.
New
Dem Rock Star O-Cortez Struggles to Describe Pelosi's Role. Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won
the Primary for the congressional seat in NY14 — the Bronx — because so few showed up to vote and her
opponent didn't bother to campaign. She grew up in one of the more elite suburbs of New York but she thought she was a
Capitalist then. Her endless gaffes promise to hurt her as the "future of the Democrat Party", a label she was given by
the DNC Chair Tom Perez. In another failed TV interview, she rambled nearly incoherently as she attempted to describe
Pelosi's position in the party during an interview with Cuomo Prime Time on Wednesday.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez: Socialized Medicine Will Save Money On People's Funerals. It's amazing how the media is
holding this woman up as the person who is going to somehow save the Democratic party. She says such outrageous things
that the media would never let slide for anyone else. Her recent comment about socialized medicine and funerals was
downright creepy.
Ocasio-Cortez
dismisses Shapiro's debate offer. Democratic congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Thursday
[8/9/2018] dismissed an offer from conservative commentator Ben Shapiro challenging her to a debate, saying she doesn't
"owe a response to unsolicited requests from men with bad intentions."
No Borders,
No Nation. [Scroll down] OK, you say, but Ocasio-Cortez and her cheering section are a tiny, noisy
coterie of hard-left overwrought subordinates who have hijacked a small part of the Democratic Party; they don't represent
the majority of registered Democrats. Au contraire! The party's leadership says otherwise. Following her
surprise victory, Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez joined the hosanna choir proclaiming Ocasio-Cortez to be
"the future of the Democrat party." (Emphasis added.) Representative Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), who is the
deputy chair of the DNC and formerly served as chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, is also on board the bandwagon.
Ellison, a Marxist Muslim and one of the most radical members of Congress, says that not allowing foreign people to enter the
United States at will is "an injustice." At a May Day parade in Minneapolis this year, he wore a T-shirt emblazoned with
the slogan, "Yo no creo en fronteras," which translates from Spanish into "I don't believe in borders."
Ocasio-Cortez
Thinks Menendez Is From Florida, Knocks Him and Manchin For Not Being 'Working-Class Champion'. Democratic
congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Monday knocked a couple key members of her own party, Sens. Joe
Manchin (W.Va.) and Bob Menendez (N.J.), saying they don't represent the "working-class champion." She also wrongly
identified Menendez as being from Florida before being corrected by her interviewer. The self-described democratic
socialist took aim at Manchin and Menendez during an appearance on the podcast "Pod Save America," which is hosted by former
Obama administration staff members.
Socialist
star Ocasio-Cortez strikes out: All endorsed candidates lose Tuesday primaries. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez's record on Tuesday night for her chosen primary candidates was as bare as a Venezuelan supermarket
shelf. The socialist pulled off a stunning victory last month in New York, and is now attempting to parlay that win
into helping other leftists win Democratic primaries.
Ocasio-Cortez
Says Upper Middle Class 'Does Not Exist Anymore' In America. New York congressional candidate and socialist
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez does not believe there is an "upper middle class" in American any longer, a point even liberal news
networks contest. Ocasio-Cortez has made some fairly eyebrow raising statements on the economy in America during her
meteoric rise to stardom in the Democratic party. Ocasio-Cortez has claimed that unemployment is low because people are
working "two jobs" and that people are working "70 or 80 hours a week." These claims have been rated
"pants on fire" by fact checkers.
Teaching
Good Little Girls to Hate and to Fear. [J[ust when we deplorables had finished digesting the incomparable
Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, along comes another tasty dish: the New York Times' pet racist and sexist,
Sarah Jeong. AOC's claim to fame is a B.A. at Boston University, which explains everything. So I wondered about
Korean-born Sarah Jeong. Sure enough, says La Wik: ["]She attended the University of California Berkeley
and Harvard Law School, where she was editor of Harvard Journal of Law & Gender.["] [Expletive deleted] Of
course, Jeong is an anti-white racist and an anti-male sexist, for that is what she was carefully taught by her lefty teachers
and administrators.
Sorry,
Democratic Socialists — you're still pushing poison. The second-most famous Democratic Socialist in
America right now, after kingmaker Democratic Socialist Bernie Sanders, is New York City congressional candidate Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez. The newcomer does her best to explain the snake oil: It's "the basic belief" that "in a moral and
wealthy America ... no person should be too poor to live in this country." Note the word "wealthy." How exactly does
she think the US got that way? It certainly wasn't because of socialistic transfers from wealth-producers to
wealth-consumers. In fact, whatever funds are shifted are available only because some Americans are motivated to produce
wealth in the first place. Alas, all that escapes those pushing an economic system that has yet to work anywhere.
My
Declaration of Incivility. The media's latest crush, the Democrats new Obama — of course I am
talking about Westchester socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, just went on a foreign news service, Al Jazeera, to accuse
America of "human rights abuses," even after it was Trump who put an end to the Obama policy of separating adults and
children at the border.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez Obama's Latest Political Ploy. The MSM and social media are either in on it or just don't get
it. Barack Obama's supposed "snub" of the Big Apple's rising star, Bernie Sander boutonniere and strictly socialist
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, that is. [...] In fact leaving Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez off his list of endorsed candidates is
straight out of Democratic Election Strategy 101. Ocasio-Cortez was only trotted out as a congressional candidate in
order to make it appear that the garden variety of crazed Dems are 'courageously' fighting off socialism. What a joke
when we know that the Dems embrace socialism rather than fight it. When Obama and ex-vice president Joe Biden chowed
down over lunch a few days ago, they probably giggled like a couple of school girls convinced they had succeeded in pulling
off the Ocasio-Cortez con on the voting masses.
Obama's
First Round of Endorsements Doesn't Include Ocasio-Cortez. Former President Obama released his first round of
midterm endorsements today, and the young Bronx native who defeated 10-term incumbent House Democratic Caucus Chairman Joe
Crowley (D-N.Y.) in the June primary is not on list. For the state of New York, Obama's list only includes two
races: Antonio Delgado, who is trying to unseat Rep. John Faso (R-N.Y.), and Anna Kaplan, who is challenging a GOP
incumbent for a state senate seat that could determine which party is in control. [...] In all, Obama picked 81 candidates to
endorse from across the country.

Ocasio-Cortez Thrills San Francisco 'Progressives'. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the 28-year-old "democratic
socialist" who defeated a 10-term Democratic incumbent in New York's June primary, made waves with her fellow progressives in
San Francisco's Mission District Tuesday night as she described her plans to provide free Medicare and college for all.
The San Francisco Chronicle noted that Ocasio-Cortez had proposed those policies in her successful campaign in New
York's 14th congressional district, where a Democratic Party primary victory virtually guarantees victory in the general
election.
Far
Left Street Cred: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Attends Event With Anti-Israel Activist Linda Sarsour. Well,
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the insurgent democratic socialists who beat top House Democrat Joe Crowley in a primary, is off to
a great start in her career in public life, and as the new face of the Democratic Party. She's brain-dead on economics
and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. On her socioeconomic agenda, well, she doesn't know how to pay for it. She
doesn't even know how much we spend on the military, [whereas] the military is one of the big-ticket items in our
budget. So, given that, you think she has a clue about the complex and ultimately ruinous tax structure that will need
to be implemented to pay for her socialist goodie bag — all of which does not have a chance [of] passing Congress.
Ocasio-Cortez's
primary win backed by Young Turks, George Soros. Researcher Richard Weinstein joined Glenn Beck and Stu
Burguiere on Wednesday's show to discuss his stunning discovery of the deep pockets behind Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's
"grassroots" campaign. Wondering how Ocasio-Cortez achieved her primary win in the 14th district of New York without
really knowing any policy, Weinstein began a preliminary search for answers. He quickly discovered that in 2017,
Ocasio-Cortez's website belonged to a group called "Brand New Congress."
Socialist
candidate Ocasio-Cortez once saw herself as Smithian capitalist, viewed feminism as 'relic'. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez, the socialist congressional candidate from New York who touts honesty and authenticity as her greatest
strengths, used to describe herself as a follower of Adam Smith, the so-called father of capitalism — and said
that terms like "feminism" and "empowerment" were "relics from the past." Since then, Ocasio-Cortez has come out as an
unapologetic democratic socialist, wishing to see greater taxation and expansion and creation of wide-ranging social programs
such as a single-payer health care system, free education, and housing as a right. "I think my strength is I'm honest
and authentic," she told "The Daily Show" host Trevor Noah last week. Those qualities helped her in June to beat top
Democrat Joe Crowley, whose name was floated as the next speaker of the U.S. House.
Democrats
become socialists, so let's look at the costs. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., used to stand at the left
extreme of the Democratic Party. Now he's in the middle. After the primary victories by Ben Jealous in Maryland,
and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in New York, some Democrats understandably feel a growing need to deny the obvious truth that
the party is becoming socialist. Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi, two far-left senior congresswomen from California,
both recently denied that theirs is a socialist party. But that's becoming a hard fiction to uphold. And the two
of them are indistinguishable from standard socialists elsewhere in the world. Ocasio-Cortez and many Democratic
nominees around the country are literally from the ranks of the Democratic Socialists of America. These are
brass-knuckle radicals who want class warfare and to constrict individual freedom in order to create their heaven on
Earth. They are gaining control over a major political party.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez and Linda Sarsour co-headline political action conference. Socialist Democratic Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez and Women's March co-leader Linda Sarsour were featured speakers at the 16th Annual Universal Muslim
Association of America (UMAA) held on July 29, 2018. [...] Ocasio-Cortez doesn't hide her hatred towards Israel, but fumbled
answers on the subject and admitted that she's "not the expert on geopolitics on this issue."
Democrats
have a new millennial problem: Young socialist candidates. While Democrats have always embraced socialist
policies to a certain extent, claiming to be a "socialist" was taboo until recently, with the change thanks in large part to
a surge in millennial candidates running for office. Even though the 2018 midterm elections are more than three months
out, Democrats have quickly lost control of their agenda for the American people. Any plan that Senate Minority Leader
Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi may have had for their divided caucus is now being forcibly pulled
further to the left by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Democratic congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a
28 year-old progressive darling of the Bronx who is almost certain to win her election in an overwhelmingly Democratic district.
Soros's
Powerful Media Consortium Helped Commie-Cinderella O-Cortez Win. The Communist Cinderella Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez found
her prince, George Soros, and that is who helped her defeat Rep. Joe Crowley in NY 14. As far-left as Crowley is,
and he is, he wasn't far-left enough or young enough or pretty enough for Soros. They want to put lipstick on the Communist
pig. Soros's people always go for the most Progressive [Communist/Socialist] candidates. Ocasio-Cortez was a Bernie
Sanders organizer. She was also backed by the powerful George Soros-funded Media Consortium.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez's Primary Win Linked To George Soros's Pockets. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's primary win in the14th
district of New York was astounding. With no experience and a political plan similar to that of we-wish-we-had-toilet-paper
Venezuela, she wasn't exactly packing heat. Yet, she managed to defeat incumbent Joseph Crowley, who vastly outspent
her. As the 28-year-old prepares her Thank You notes, she should address one to left-wing billionaire George Soros.
The
Unserious Face of an Unserious Movement. When, last Thursday [7/26/2018], she was asked an elementary question
about spending, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez struck her best Cobra Kai pose. "I sat down with a Nobel Prize
economist last week," she exclaimed, contorting her face into Jack Nicholson's and attempting to shoot webs from her fingers.
"I can't believe I can say that," she added. "It's really weird!" Alas, nothing from this brush with greatness appears
to have worn off on her. Mere seconds elapsed between the boast and the disaster that followed.
Examining
Ocasio-Cortez's Painful Answer on Funding Her Socialist Utopia. As we flagged on Friday [7/27/2018], media
sensation and instant lefty icon Alexandria Ocasio Cortez appeared on the Daily Show last week, where she was
confronted with a relatively simple question by host Trevor Noah. Ocasio Cortez is campaigning on a laundry list of new
government programs and entitlements, including "Medicare for All," free college, and a "universal jobs guarantee." But how
does she intend to pay for for this calorie-exploding buffet of government largesse? Her response to that fundamental
challenge was a bit of a jumbled mess, to put it rather mildly: [Video clip]
All-renewable
energy is a prescription for disaster. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stunned the Democratic establishment by crushing
incumbent Rep. Joe Crowley in the primary race in New York's 14th Congressional District. [...] Ocasio-Cortez's website
says: "In order to address runaway global climate change, Alexandria strongly supports transitioning the United States to
a carbon-free, 100 percent renewable energy system." Perhaps it's not surprising that Ocasio-Cortez, who campaigned
for Bernie Sanders, has endorsed the same all-renewable agenda that Sanders pushed in his failed bid for the White House. What
is surprising is that for all her apparent political savvy, she didn't bother to see if such a scheme is workable or affordable.
There's
No Such Thing as 'Democratic Socialism'. The new darling of the Democratic Party and the liberal mainstream
media is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the bright-eyed twenty-something who upended long-time House member Joe Crowley in a New
York state Democratic primary a few weeks ago. In their breathless, frenzied rush to anoint Ocasio-Cortez as the coming
of the Savior of the Nation, liberals across the land have wholeheartedly embraced her call for "Democratic Socialism."
Ignoring the fact that Bernie Sanders espoused essentially the exact same things in the last presidential campaign but was
unceremoniously and dishonestly pushed aside by the Democratic Party in favor of Hillary Clinton, what exactly is this
"democratic socialism" that seems to have everyone on that side of the fence so atwitter these days?
The seduction
of socialism. Sen. Bernie Sanders, Vermont independent, and 28-year-old Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, winner
of a New York Democratic primary, are the old and new faces of socialist America. Their platforms, it appears, hinge on
the concept of shared wealth — in other words, handing out free stuff to just about everyone. How far we've
come from JFK's admonition not to ask what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. Today,
for many, it's all about what you should expect from your country with little or no reciprocity.
Vast Majority of Americans
Won't Vote For a Socialist, New Poll Finds. Seventy-six percent of respondents in a recent survey said they
would not vote for a "socialist candidate," while 24 percent of those polled said they have no problem with the
hypothetical candidate. Those results conflict with Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez's prediction that
young politicians like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — a dues-paying member of New York City's chapter of the
Democratic Socialists of America — represent his party's "future."
Ocasio-Cortez
Supporters Stumped on How Democratic Socialism Would Be Funded. Supporters of political newcomer Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.) were unable to surmise how all of the monetary freedoms she is promising will be paid for. Campus
Reform Media Director Cabot Phillips asked people in Astoria, Queens if they favored her Democratic socialist platform and
her mission of "Medicare for all" and tuition-free colleges and universities. Astoria is a portion of the 14th
Congressional District in which Ocasio-Cortez won her nomination against Rep. Joe Crowley (D). On "Fox & Friends"
Saturday, Phillips said that some of her millennial supporters don't have the right historical context to know about failed
attempts at socialism.
Watters:
Ocasio-Cortez' Economic Plan Like Raising '$500 to Buy a BMW'. Jesse Watters and the panel on "The Five"
reacted to New York congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez' (D-Bronx) laying out part of her economic plan in a
Comedy Central interview. Ocasio-Cortez told "Daily Show" host Trevor Noah that if Congress "reverse[s] the tax bill
but raised our corporate tax to 28 percent... that's $2 trillion right there." She also called for people to
"pay their fair share" and said that a "carbon tax" could bring in additional revenue. "We gave the military a $700
billion budget increase which they didn't even ask for," she said. Ocasio-Cortez is a heavy favorite against St.
Johns University economics professor Anthony Pappas (R-Queens).
Democrats
Embracing Crazy Could Be A Gift To The GOP. Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could not ask for
more fawning media coverage, it makes her campaign's own press releases read like hate mail. Slathered in the drool of
her questioners, however, there lies Olympic-level ignorance. It'd be easy to call her stupid, and I have on social
media, but it's worse than that. Her lack of basic understanding is coupled with the arrogance of certainty. She
knows she's right because she's been taught socialism works, she feels it does. Ocasio-Cortez displayed a frightening
level of economic illiteracy on The Daily Show this week, getting even basic information wrong. It was enough to make
you wonder if she is capable of making change for a dollar. Yet they still rally around her, propping her up as hero
with many leading 2020 Democrats taking their lead from this economic Exxon Valdez.
Democratic-Socialist
Explains How She'll Raise a Trillion Here, A Trillion There. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, appearing on Trevor
Noah's show Thursday night, advocated for a "moral and ethical economy" that provides free health care, free college
education, and "bold action on climate change" for the American people. "We're here to talk about wages; we're here to
talk about education; we're here to talk about saving our planet; we're here to talk about a carbon tax; we're here to talk
about people paying their fair share, and we're here to talk about saving the country, frankly," Ocasio-Cortez said.
[Video clip and transcript omitted for brevity, among other things.] Ocasio-Cortez said she believes "we are morally
obliged to pursue" her view of where the nation needs to go.
The Editor says...
By all means, let's "talk about saving the country," from people like her!
The supremacy
of stupidity. We are suffocating in the stupidity of politicians such as up and coming Democrat Rep.-to-be
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a frank socialist. We are suffocating in the stupidity of the Democratic Party's media
adjunct such as MSNBC's Chris Hayes.
The Polls Are
Crazy. [Scroll down] [H]ow out of the mainstream are the Democrats, really? Pretty far out.
Back to Rasmussen, on what voters think about socialism: ["]51% of Democrats have a favorable impression of
socialism, with 13% who share a Very Favorable one.["] So it's no accident that Bernie Sanders, Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez and Elizabeth Warren are the Democrats du jour. Still, Democrats betray an odd ambivalence toward
the economic system that most of them yearn for.
Ocasio-Cortez
hits the campaign trail for other Dems. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hits the road to Michigan this weekend, where
she'll lend her star power to a crop of political progressives — including the first Muslim women to run for
Congress. Since she snuffed out Queens Rep. Joe Crowley in June, Ocasio-Cortez has dedicated significant resources
to building up a brigade of new progressives across the country seeking to shake up the establishment. Her public
appearances and social media shout outs have helped underdog candidates garner national attention, fresh donations and
volunteer support.
Ocasio-Cortez:
Trump Zero-Tolerance Policy on Spectrum of 'Ethnic Cleansing'. Democratic-Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
thinks President Donald Trump's "zero-tolerance" enforcement policy is on the spectrum of "ethnic cleansing." [...] This is
not the first time left-wing activists vehemently opposed to President Donald Trump's immigration agenda have made
sensational accusations about "ethnic cleansing." After Trump referred to MS-13 illegal immigrant gangsters as "animals"
earlier this year, the pro-amnesty group United We Dream group also accused Trump of "building up a racially motivated
rationale for his immoral and brutal campaign of ethnic cleansing."
Ocasio-Cortez Channels
FALN on Puerto Rico. When Republican Rep. Ron DeSantis suggested that "this girl Ocasio-Cortez" is a
symptom of Democratic disarray, the self-styled "girl from the Bronx" (who actually grew up in Westchester County) retorted
with a tweet wherein she claimed: "I am a Puerto Rican woman." Leaving aside the possibility that she
suffers from multiple personality disorder, Ocasio-Cortez doesn't seem to know any more about the history of her newfound
homeland than she does about the Middle East. She delivered herself of several tweets on Wednesday that suggest she
believes Puerto Rico was an independent and sovereign nation before the U.S. arrived in 1898.
Is Ocasio-Cortez your
kind of GIRL? Moments ago, Florida Rep. Ron DeSantis was on TV, Fox News, explaining why he objects to the
Democrats' new IT-Girl from Da Bronx, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Let alone her Socialist views, "She says Israel is
occupying Palestinian land. Well, there is no Palestine. She is plainly anti-Israel." No doubt about that,
plus... Did someone just say GIRL? Oh yes, I did. No, wait, so did DeSantis, and that's how
he got all those Progressives going after his scalp.
Valerie
Jarrett Welcomes Socialists Into the Democrat Party. "We have a big tent, and I think there is room for a lot
of voices in our party," Valerie Jarrett said. The former senior advisor and close confidant to the last president
Barack Obama, welcomes Democratic Socialists [they have a more statist platform than Communist Party USA] to the Democratic
Party. She made her comments to the harpies of ABC's 'The View' on Wednesday [7/25/2018]. Co-host Meghan McCain
asked Jarrett if she thinks Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the future of the Democratic Party. Cortez defeated the
powerful incumbent Joe Crowley (D-NY) in the primary.

Ocasio-Cortez Missouri Visit Poses Obstacle for Claire McCaskill. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the 28-year-old New
York socialist who rose to political stardom by championing far-left policies such as abolishing ICE and pushing a federal
jobs guarantee on her way to an upset primary win, is headed to Missouri to help topple another incumbent Democrat.
Ocasio-Cortez will be campaigning in St. Louis for Cori Bush, a fellow activist running as a Justice Democrat with
hopes of defeating incumbent Democrat Rep. Lacy Clay, a member of Congress since 2001, in an August primary.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez Is The Flaky Future of the Democratic Party. Democratic National Committee chair Tom Perez was
quick to pronounce young democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez the "future" of his party following her surprising
primary win in June. Since that time, she's offered "pants on fire" takes about the U.S. unemployment rate, supported
and then immediately retracted that support for a two-state solution for Israel and the Palestinians, confessed to not being
an "expert" on geopolitics after calling the Israeli military massacrers, and fretted about "black sites" run by Immigrations
and Customs Enforcement. And that's after less than a month! [Video clip]
Democrats
embrace Ayn Rand's wary blueprint for the decline of America. The current poster child of the century-long
campaign to replace American prosperity with the failed slogans of socialism is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the 28-year-old
political activist who unseated 10-term Democratic Congressman Joe Crowley in New York's 14th District. As an avowed
Democratic Socialist who played the role of David to Crowley's Goliath, Ocasio-Cortez has enjoyed the spotlight in the
national media for the past month and brought attention to the socialist cause espoused by Grandpa Karl Marx, Uncle Joe
Stalin and Sen. Bernie Sanders. So here's a bit of the socialist agenda coming to a failed republic near you if
Ocasio-Cortez has her way: free college tuition, free health care, universal jobs guarantee, paid child and sick leave
for all, open borders.
Nicaragua,
Venezuela, and Cuba put Democrats and their beloved S-word on the spot in Florida. Democrats have been feeling
their oats with socialism these days, basking in the wins they've gotten. The ascent of Democratic Socialists of
America member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, in a Democratic congressional primary in New York, has given them a new battery.
Ocasio's their new "it" girl. But it might not play the way they think it will play beyond New York.
Socialist
Dingbat Alexandria O-Cortez Says Congress Has Too Many Men. Gaffe-prone, know-nothing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
is on a campaign swing around red states with Bernie Sanders pushing Socialist/Communist candidates. On Face the
Nation, O-Cortez said Congress being "80 percent male" created "blind spots in our legislation." Host Margaret Brennan
asked if she would say gender was not a factor in her defeat of powerful Democrat Joe Crowley. O-Cortez then went into
a barely-coherent and sexist response.
The Editor says...
An elected representative can be dangerous even if he or she is not very bright.
Lieberman
slams Ocasio-Cortez, urges voters to pick Joe Crowley. Joe Lieberman, the former Democratic senator, appealed
to voters in New York's 14th Congressional District on Tuesday to vote in November for top Democrat Joe Crowley and not the
Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. In a scorching article for the Wall Street Journal, Lieberman, who's now
an Independent, criticized Ocasio-Cortez's agenda as "more Socialist than Democratic" and said her presence in Congress will
"make it harder for Congress to stop fighting and start fixing problems."
The Left's Newest Star
Is None Too Bright. Since her surprise primary victory over 10-term Congressman Joe Crowley in New York's 14th
District, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been promoted by the legacy media as the prototype of a new generation of young
progressives destined to replace the leadership of the Democratic Party. Unfortunately for her media boosters, however,
she keeps blowing her lines. It's not just her rote advocacy of single-payer healthcare and guaranteed government jobs,
or even that she backs wacky ideas like abolishing ICE and occupying airports — Ocasio-Cortez is genuinely
clueless. She outed herself, in several recent interviews, as functionally illiterate in economics, international
relations, and history. During a PBS interview with Margaret Hoover, for example, Ocasio-Cortez was unable to provide a
coherent answer to a softball economics question that could have been successfully fielded by any Econ 101 student at a
community college.
Democrat
Ladies of the Lie. The "new rising star" of the Donkeys, according to Newsweek, [Alexandria] Ocasio-Cortez
unseated ten-term Democrat incumbent Joe Crowley in the recent New York City primary. Crowley is part of the Democrat
establishment, a creature of the bipartisan D.C. swamp inhabited by career politicians from both sides of the political
aisle. Ocasio-Cortez also has her eyes on the biggest prize of all, the White House, according to her own mother.
The self-proclaimed working-class "girl from the Bronx" actually grew up in Westchester County, New York, one of the ten
wealthiest counties in the U.S. It's also the county Bill and Hillary Clinton now call home. She lived there from age
5 through her high school graduation and was even registered to vote there until 2016. Her campaign website bio makes no
mention of her upper-middle-class suburban upbringing, instead mentioning only the Bronx.
Boston
University's Fake-O-Nomics Darling. The annual list price to attend Boston University — including
tuition, fees, room and board — currently rounds out to $70,000. To acquire a degree in economics from this tony
institution of higher learning, an undergrad must complete courses in calculus, microeconomic and macroeconomic analysis,
empirical economics, statistics and assorted electives. Four years, 52 credits and nearly $300,000 later, the school
promises that BU economics majors will depart "with a firm understanding of core microeconomic and macroeconomic theory" and
the "empirical skills that are essential to applying economic reasoning in our increasingly data-driven world." How,
then, to explain the abject economic illiteracy of meteoric media darling and democratic socialist "political rock star"
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez?
Will Schumer
Drop Israel for Ocasio-Cortez? No one's arguing Israel is the only, or even primary, issue before
Congress. Nor is [Chuck] Schumer the only Democrat of the ilk whose more centrist policies are being challenged by
[Alexandria] Ocasio-Cortez. Schumer, though, has spent a career presenting himself as Israel's greatest defender.
How's Schumer going to protect that brand if Ocasio-Cortez wins in November? Even the liberal Israeli daily Haaretz reports
that Ocasio-Cortez "is seen as the embodiment of the Democrats shifting away from Israel." It's not hard to see why.
Ocasio-Cortez:
Occupy Every Airport! The more I learn about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the happier I am that she is the new
face of the Democratic Party. Ocasio-Cortez is an ignoramus on foreign policy, and is devoted to socialism, an ideology
detested by all who would rather hug their pets than eat them. This news makes me even more glad that Ocasio-Cortez is
officially Ms. Democratic Party: she is urging Democrats to shut down all American airports.
For
Dems, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a fox who's gotten loose in the Democratic henhouse. If there's anything that
lays out how arrogant and entitled the Democratic Party is, take a look at how many Democratic grandees' feathers are being
ruffled by Democratic Socialist "it girl" Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who defeated a ten-term Democratic incumbent in their
Bronx-Queens congressional district earlier this month and who now outshines them all. It's not that her socialism or
her ignorance of world affairs bothers them, the way it does us. It's that she's showing bad machine politics sense, the
one thing that keeps Democrats going in the absence of being able to admit they actually are all a bunch of socialists.

The Ignorance of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. "Abolish ICE" is an ascendant litmus test for the Democratic Party's
left-wing base, attracting sufficient support as to inspire hilarious backflips from craven panderers with presidential
ambitions. Some "progressives" went so far as to file a bill to dismantle the immigration enforcement agency. The
GOP plan, based on widespread reports, was to give Democrats a chance to actually vote on their colleagues' idea.
Recognizing the trap, the authors of the legislation balked at their own idea, amusingly denouncing the planned vote, on the
exact bill they championed, as a "stunt." And now Republicans have called the whole thing off, it appears.
Democrats' 'Sudden'
Hard-Left Turn Has Been Years In The Making. Recent events show just how far things have gone:
• 28-year-old Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes beat New York Rep. Joe Crowley, the No. 4
ranking Democrat in the House, in a primary challenge. Despite a series of embarrassing gaffes in just over a week, the
Democrat-safe New York district she's in guarantees she'll win. • In California, far left state
Senator Kevin de Leon challenged four-term incumbent Sen. Dianne Feinstein for the endorsement of the state's Democratic
Party and won hands down, 65% to just 7%. Feinstein, 85, whose liberal credentials are impeccable, wasn't far left enough,
even though she trounced de Leon in the actual primary, 44% to 12%. • House Minority Leader Nancy
Pelosi faces an increasingly open challenge to her leadership in the House. Younger, more radical members of her party
now push to replace her with someone from the far left of the party. • Driving the point home, on July
3 a giddy Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez called self-proclaimed democratic socialist Ocasio-Cortez "the
future of our party."

Ocasio-Cortez: Low unemployment rate is because more people have two jobs, you know. Jazz earlier
described Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as a gift to the GOP, but perhaps more accurately, she's a gift that
keeps on giving. So too for that matter is her appearance with Margaret Hoover on PBS' Firing Line this weekend.
Not only did she fumble an answer on the "Palestinian occupation," Ocasio-Cortez managed to err completely on a basic
economic question — despite her supposed expertise in the subject: [...]
Leftist
Darling Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Swiftly Wearing Out Her Welcome Among Democrats. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez saw
her star rise swiftly and shine brightly after her victory over New York Rep. Joseph Crowley, but with all eyes now
focusing on her, she's beginning to look less and less like a superstar, and more like a thorn in the side of Democrats.
According to The Hill, Ocasio-Cortez is using her new-found fame to attack Democrats from her position on the far-left, which
they fear will cause them to divide from within and fall short of retaking the house during the midterm elections.
Particularly, Ocasio-Cortez has found it appropriate to attack Crowley, accusing him of trying to get around his defeat by
running against her as a third party candidate. Crowley has openly endorsed Ocasio-Cortez following his defeat and has
no intentions of continuing to run, however, his name will remain on the ballot regardless due to New York election rules,
and cannot be removed unless he dies, or moves away, as he explained to her after she publicly attempted to paint Crowley
as an election saboteur.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez proves that "socialism makes you stupid". You'd think that if you wanted to be a U.S. congressman, you'd
bone up on some of the most important geo-political issues of our time. Apparently not! New darling of the Democratic
Party, avowed socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been making the media rounds, and PBS was one of the few outlets that pushed back
on any of her statements.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez is the best thing to happen to the GOP all year. In the midst of a growing number of dismal news
cycles, let's take a moment to pause once again and at least be grateful for the unexpected primary victory of Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez, the socialist wonder from the Bronx. Yesterday, Ed brought up her rather, er... remarkable interview in
which she demonstrated her policy chops on Mideast unrest. But there's not only more to that story, but some additional
highlights from her cross-country adventure which should put a smile on the faces of conservatives hoping for a good result
in the midterms. As Ed noted, Ocasio-Cortez's knowledge of the history of Israel and the Palestinians is dismal at
best, but she really begins to shine when she attempts to draw comparisons between that conflict and "similar" situations in
the United States. The Free Beacon brings us the extended video and her rationale as to why conflict in Gaza is pretty
much the same as what you find in places like... Ferguson, Missouri.
Abolishing the Democrats.
It's almost as if the Democrats cultured their newest and shiniest pet in a petri dish. Person of color? Check.
Not male, pale, or stale? You bet. Millennial? Goody. Tenuous link to the struggles of people Democrats
used to care about? Gotcha. Alexandria Ocasia-Cortez is the "future" of the party, at least according to Democratic
National Committee Chairman Tom Perez. Her shock primary win in New York certainly stirred a denuded Democratic Party eager to
marry the narrative of the enbubbled, to the "oppressed" they're keen to "help." [...] Ocasia-Cortez enjoyed muted support within the
pages of The Nation and The New Republic, but non-groupies hadn't heard of her until a few weeks ago.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez is one very low-information voter on Israel and Palestinians. Twenty-eight-year-old socialist
sensation Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez isn't all that, you know, ummm, up on the news. Good thing she never met Bill
Buckley, because on PBS's current version of his old show, Firing Line with Margaret Hoover, she came out looking like
an idiot. [Video clip]
Socialist Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez Says Capitalism Will 'Not Always Exist'. Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the new darling of
the Democratic party. In a recent interview, however, the upstart politico running in a hyper-liberal district in New
York did not show command of the issues. Ocasio-Cortez was being interviewed by Margaret Hoover on the PBS show 'Firing
Line.' Hoover asked very basic, softball questions of the young congressional candidate. In explaining her positions
on the economy, Hoover asked Ocasio-Cortez "Do you think that capitalism has failed to deliver for working class Americans?"
Hoover cited a currently booming US economy and low unemployment.
Socialist
Darling Ocasio-Cortz Trashes Israel, Calls Them "Occupiers" of Palestine. Democrat Socialist darling
Ocasio-Cortez sent shock waves through the Democrat Party when she defeated the fourth most powerful Democrat in the House of
Representatives, Rep. Joe Crowley, in the New York primary in June. The Democrat Socialists of America support no
borders, no profit, no prisons and no cash bail.
New
Dem star to rattle DC establishment. Democrats are racing to figure out how to handle Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,
whose primary win over a longtime incumbent is set to shake up the party's Washington establishment. [...] A source close to
Ocasio-Cortez said the candidate is not interested in following the conventional Democratic playbook.
Two fresh faces from NY —
and both are dangerous. Does it make me sexist if I refer to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as a pretty woman?
Well she sure is prettier than Rep. Joe Crowley, the Dem heavyweight she beat for District 14, which makes this femme
fatale a rising star for the Party, and she did not do it on looks alone. The lady is young, witty, smart, and most
definitely anti-Semitic. That makes her a shoo-in when she runs as a self-described Democratic Socialist. The
Bernie Sanders wing, which includes Keith Ellison and Tom Perez — they love that type. They love it even
more when she talks dirty like Farrakhan, blaming the Jews for everything. Just listen to her. She knows the
whole story about that and everything else, and she's only 28.
New Democrat Superstar
Has Already Given Her Party Reason To Beware. For Democrats, it may be a case of be careful what you wish
for. There appears to be a steadily growing apprehension that their new superstar might turn on them. Democrats
finally received an infusion of fresh blood when the young and telegenic Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez shocked the nation with her
monumental upset win on June 26, in the Democratic primary for New York's 14th congressional district. But there was a
catch: she won by defeating ten-term incumbent Rep. Joseph Crowley, the number four Democrat in the House.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez Paints The Party Red. I have written on New York's elected Democratic Socialist of America member
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez several times. It always amazes me that people comment on my social media that she is a
one-off and nothing to worry about. Nothing could be further from the truth and the left is hoping you keep believing
that nonsense. She is the snake in the progressive garden and the DNC has taken a big ole bite of the rotten apple.
[...] The young Latina is going to shake the DNC to its very core. She's literally painting the party red as others
follow her lead. Gubernatorial candidate, Cynthia Nixon, is now saying she's a member of DSA. Julia Salazar is
another DSAer looking to unseat Queens state Sen. Martin Dilan. But if you thought this was just wacky New York
and California where this is a threat, you would be sadly and tragically mistaken. This is not hyperbole or fear
mongering. This is a clear a present danger to our freedoms here in the U.S. Ocasio-Cortez's victory may have been a
shock, but it shouldn't have been. DSA has been aggressively pushing candidates this year.
Who
was behind Alexandria Ocasio Cortez's astonishing makeover? Somebody with deep expertise on image creation got
ahold of the latest darling of the left and glammed her up for her current role as the standard bearer for the socialist wing
of the Democrats, the Great Hispanic Hope to lead the "browning of Amerca" toward a radical future. Sometime between
2011 and 2018, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez was transformed from an earnest and nerdy wannabe entrepreneur into a glamorous
radical crusader for socialism, the delusion-of-the-moment that has captured the imagination of the malcontent demographic
slice of America.
Democrats
Love Socialism Because They Want To Take Your Stuff And Enslave You. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is less hideously
unattractive than the usual Democrat potentate or potentatette and has therefore been anointed the new face of her pathetic
party. This dumb woman, who looks like Huma Abedin without the pedohubby and the weird relationship with Felonia
Milhous von Pantsuit, took advantage of her even dumber New York district in order to get elected to Congress by calling
herself a "socialist." [...] Here's how bad she is — she apparently went to college, got a degree in economics,
and still ended up a socialist. If she went to med school, she would have probably left a chain smoker. As for
life experience, she was a bartender.
Socialist Darling
Called For Tax Cuts When She Was Running A Business, Now Wants To Raise Taxes To Fund Her Radical Agenda.
[Alexandria] Ocasio-Cortez, 28, is a dues-paying member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), an organization that
calls for the abolishment of capitalism and argues that "private corporate property is not only wrong, but also nonsensical."
Her campaign platform calls for instituting a single-payer health care system, a federal jobs guarantee and housing as a human
right, radical and expensive policies she says will be funded through raising taxes on corporations and high-income Americans.
But Ocasio-Cortez appeared to have a different outlook on capitalism and taxes in 2012 when she was running a business of her own,
Brook Avenue Press, an incorporated publishing firm for children's books set in the Bronx.
The Editor says...
Ms. Ocasio-Cortez is newsworthy partly because she upset an establishment who thought he was going to be routinely re-elected, but also
because she is an extreme left-wing socialist, whose beliefs and values are far outside the American mainstream, yet the Democratic Party
seems to think it's a good idea to endorse and emulate her. But since she's practically a communist, the real shocker is that she has run a
business at some time in the past, unlike Barack H. Obama. But she must not have been an good at it, because she's turning to politics.
Fact
Check: 'Girl from the Bronx' Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Grew Up in One of Richest U.S. Counties. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez, the Democratic Party's rising socialist star, describes herself as "a girl from the Bronx" to project a
working-class image. However, this claim is only half true — to borrow a phrase from the left-wing website
PolitiFact. [...] Ocasio-Cortez omits that for most of her formative years, she was actually raised in one of the United
States' wealthiest counties. Around the age of five, Alexandria's architect father Sergio Ocasio moved the family from
the "planned community" of Parkchester in the Bronx to a home in Yorktown Heights, a wealthy suburb in Westchester County.
'Abolish
ICE' is a sign of the left's rising extremism. It's becoming the new litmus test of the Democratic Party's
resurgent left: As Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez put it soon after her upset primary win over the No. 4 House Democrat,
"If they're not actively calling for the abolition of ICE ... they need to go." Now, spurred by last weekend's celebrity-driven
protests against the breakup of families at the border, ambitious Democrats are hopping aboard the bandwagon. Sens. Elizabeth
Warren and Kirsten Gillibrand and Mayor Bill de Blasio, among others, are all calling for Immigration Customs and Enforcement to be
shut down. Even though President Trump has suspended the breakups — and it was the Border Patrol, not ICE,
separating the families.
The
socialists are coming. House Democratic Caucus Chairman Joe Crowley's loss at the hands of a millennial
socialist barmaid in New York has shocked Democratic Washington. But Republicans merely seem amused by the lopsided
victory that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won over Crowley's amply funded campaign. They assume, with good reasons, that
candidates like Ocasio-Cortez, the sort that reject private ownership of business and want to abolish immigration enforcement
and even law enforcement altogether, cannot win on a national scale. They expect to capitalize by, amongst other
things, winning more seats in Congress if there is a bitter clash among Democrats between traditional social democrats and
out-and-out socialists.
The
Democrat-Left: Stupid, Insane, And Very, Very Violent. The Democrat National Committee (DNC) is co-run by
a self-avowed Communist (Tom Perez) and a radical anti-Jew Nation of Islam adherent (Keith Ellerson). In the 2016
Democrat presidential primary, Hillary Clinton was the alleged moderate alternative to Communist Bernie Sanders. But
when both were in the Senate[,] her voting record was but 0.1% less Left than his. Oh — and there were five
Senators more Left than the both of them. The Left just eradicated one of the last non-completely-insane of the
Democrat Party's members. Ten-term NY Congressional incumbent Joseph Crowley — in DC leadership and oft
mentioned as an heir to radical Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi — just lost a primary to yet another avowed
Communist... this one an already-proven-liar named Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. In short[,] the radical Left-Democrat
Party merger is nigh complete and total.
Democrat
Communist May Win House Seat in New York. A radical leftist upstart's unexpected primary trouncing of a key
member of the House Democratic leadership is sending shockwaves through the Democratic Party establishment. Democratic
Socialists of America (DSA) member and first-time candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a 28-year-old of Puerto Rican ancestry,
crushed longtime U.S. Rep. Joe Crowley, a 56-year Irish-American Catholic, in the primary election June 26 for the
14th congressional district in New York, covering parts of the boroughs of Queens and The Bronx. Ocasio-Cortez, who
previously worked as an organizer for Sen. Bernie Sanders' presidential bid, garnered 57.5 percent of the vote compared
to the 42.5 percent Crowley earned. Of course, democratic socialism is a profoundly dishonest euphemism calculated to
make the horrors of communism more palatable.
Here's
a one-word piece of advice for America's growing socialist left: Venezuela. For Democrats planning to
head down the path of socialism, especially after Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's stunning primary win Tuesday [6/26/2018], we
have one word: Venezuela. Ocasio-Cortez's lopsided victory is only the latest example of Democratic voters
signing on to hard-left candidates. Self-professed socialist Bernie Sanders, for example, has been successfully pushing
the party to the left since 2016. Even nonsocialists are embracing many of his themes, like "Medicare for All," free college
tuition, whopping minimum-wage hikes [etc.] Before they go down that road, they might consider the real-life
consequences of the failed socialistic economic system now destroying Venezuela. Hyperinflation in Nicolas Maduro's
socialist paradise is now running at 43,378 percent. It takes a full fifth of a minimum-wage worker's monthly
salary just to buy a cup of coffee in a cafe, Bloomberg reports.
Primary
defeat of fourth-ranking House Democrat a portent of the radical left takeover of the Democratic Party. The
architecture of the 20th-century Democratic Party is slowly dissolving before our eyes, as identity politics and socialism
replace the old center-left coalition. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a 28-year-old Bernie Sanders organizer and endorsee of
the Democratic Socialists of America, resoundingly defeated Rep. Joe Crowley, a ten-term incumbent who hadn't faced a
primary opponent in 14 years, and who spent at least ten times as much money in the race.
Democrats
are in a crisis and the media won't talk about it. The Democratic Party is in an ongoing crisis, but most of
the national media aren't interested. They'd rather talk about the new "rock star," Democratic Socialist Alexandria
Ocasio-Coretz, and ignore that the party is up in flames. Both Republican and Democratic voters are turning out in
record numbers for their primary elections this year, according to analysis published this week by the Hill. Democrats
have a slight advantage by about a million votes, but that's only in primaries.
Top
House Democrat Joe Crowley stunned in primary upset from progressive challenger. Progressive challenger
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez defeated incumbent Rep. Joe Crowley, D-N.Y., Tuesday night [6/26/2018], delivering the greatest
primary upset of the 2018 cycle to date. Ocasio-Cortez, 28, bested the 10-term congressman in the primary for New
York's 14th District, all but assuring her a November victory in the Democratic stronghold. Crowley's stunning loss
echoes the 2014 defeat of House Republican Majority Leader Eric Cantor at the hands of a previously unknown college professor
named Dave Brat.
28-year-old
socialist's primary upset of key Dem House leader exposes major rift. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a former campaign organizer
for Bernie Sanders, pulled off a stunning upset in New York City on Tuesday [6/26/2018] by defeating Rep. Joseph Crowley, D-N.Y., a
member of party leadership who was considered all but a shoo-in. Crowley, 56, a 10-term incumbent from Queens and fierce Trump-basher,
was a steady fundraiser for fellow Democrats and was thought by some to be a future speaker of the House.
28-year-old
socialist knocks off powerful Democrat in primary stunner. Rep. Joe Crowley, the chairman of the House
Democratic Caucus who was thought by some to be a future Speaker of the House, suffered a shocking primary defeat in New
York's 14th House District Tuesday [6/27/2018]. With 88 percent of precincts reporting, 28-year-old Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez — who has never held elected office — led Crowley by more than 3,600 votes.
She won because
she is Hispanic. The New York Times staff was stunned when Democratic Congressman Joe Crowley lost his primary.
[...] This was not a rebuke of party bosses. This was not a reform. This was simple arithmetic. Larry
Sabato got it wrong, too. He told the Times, "Political machines have been on the decline almost everywhere for
decades, and that process has accelerated. Crowley is a perfect example. He grew up in another time and another
way of doing business." Baloney. Sabato cannot see what is plainly in front of his eyes. He is a numbers man,
and yet he ignored the key to Crowley's District 14 in New York: its demographics. The district is 49.80%
Hispanic, 18.41% Non-Hispanic White, 16.24% Asian, 11.39% Black, and so on.
The
Democrats' New Evita Peron Needs to Spend 3 Months in Venezuela. As a Christian, I hope that each of us gets
better than we deserve. And I pray that Americans don't fall for politicians like the one that just bobbed up to the
surface, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. A photogenic socialist, she won the Democratic primary in a New York congressional
district. (That means she's a shoe-in in November.) Cortez crushed the long-term incumbent, Rep. Joe Crowley. Many
had seen him as the likely heir to Nancy Pelosi as leader of Democrats in the House. Just a few months ago, Cortez
worked as a bartender in Greenwich Village. Blind-sided political journalists are now scrambling to see where she came
from, and why she won.
After Its Hard
Left Turn, Will Democratic Party Officially Admit It's Socialist? The shocking primary victory of 28-year-old
socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over Congress' No. 4, Democrat Joe Crowley, underscores what we have long
noted: The Democratic Party is no longer a party of moderation, but a party of the extreme left. And it's moving
ever faster and farther leftward with each election cycle.
With
Ocasio-Cortez's rise, Dems now own their loony far-left flank. Nancy Pelosi tried to wave away the obvious Tea
Party parallels by saying the 14th is simply a "very progressive district ... They made a choice in one district. Let's
not get yourself carried away." But it's becoming clearer and clearer that Democrats' days of flirting with the more
radical wing of their party are over. They're now in a committed relationship with each other, the hammer entwined with
the sickle. Party bigwigs should've seen it coming. In the 2016 presidential nomination race, Sanders was supposed
to be Hillary Clinton's tomato can. Instead, he gave her a serious run for her money, such that the party had to lean on
the scales in Hillary's favor just to make sure she limped across the finish line.
Ocasio-Cortez
pockets the tip cup? [Scroll down] Wasn't it Ocasio-Cortez who said, "The definition of Democratic
Socialism to me, again, is the fact that in a modern, moral, and wealthy society, no American should be too poor to live"?
Is this the same woman who allegedly gave a waitress $50 for a night's work and kept $510 for herself? The server was so
shocked by the small amount of money she received that a complaint was registered with the management, who wrested another
50 bucks from Alexandria's tightfisted Democrat-Socialist hands.
Voters
Overwhelmingly Reject Socialism. In the Democratic Party, socialism is all the rage. Socialist Bernie
Sanders probably would have won the party's presidential nomination in 2016 if the DNC hadn't had its thumb on the scale in
favor of Mrs. Clinton, and the Democrats' new "star" is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a socialist like Sanders albeit a far
younger one. And how many times have we heard that socialism is sweeping the nation's campuses? Of course,
liberals have been telling us that socialism is coming soon for a while now. [...] And a great many liberals, when they heard
Barack Obama promise to "fundamentally transform" the United States, were confident that socialism was what he had in
mind. But most voters apparently aren't convinced. Rasmussen Reports finds that given a choice between free
enterprise and socialism, the overwhelming majority prefer freedom.
Democratic
Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez draws Bronx cheer for misleading campaign bio. The Democratic Socialist
candidate seeking to represent New York's 14th Congressional District is facing backlash over her working class "Bronx girl"
campaign narrative. As the Journal News reported, the original online bio for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — the
28-year-old Bernie Sanders protégé who defeated longtime Democratic incumbent U.S. Rep. Joseph Crowley on
June 26 — seemed to suggest that she commuted to a school in the suburbs from her family's home in the Bronx
borough of New York City. But after critics noted that she and her family left the Bronx when she was 5 years
old, the bio was changed to imply that the Bronx was home to her "extended family," the newspaper reported.
Did
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's socialist fanaticism come from bitter failure in business? Far from being the tough,
scappy, woikin' class Bronx girl tending bar in New York, as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was portrayed in her adoring press, the
socialist sensation, who toppled the Democratic establishment's Rep. Joseph Crowley in a surprise primary result, is
actually pretty different. Far from being Sandy from the block, she seems to be a ragged remnant of state planning and
failed venture capital projects. It raises the question that maybe that's why she turned to socialism.
Disappointment can be that kind of motivator, and socialism's only proven outcome is destruction. She's already been
outed as someone who's actually from a pretty upper middle class background, who grew up in leafy Yorktown up in Westchester
County. She's college-educated, she's young, glamorous, and attractive — somebody gave her a makeover with
that famous red lipstick.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez tweaks bio after residency questions. U.S. congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's
online bio was tweaked days after she faced scrutiny over where she grew up. Ocasio-Cortez, 28, drew national attention
when she won a Democratic Party primary against longtime U.S. Rep. Joseph Crowley in a district that represents parts of
the Bronx and Queens. Her bio was called into question by some conservatives after the victory because she lived and
went to school in Westchester County, New York, which some critics charged contradicted her Bronx girl campaign narrative.
