There’s been quite a buzz about Alexandria Oca$io-Cortez rocking a $3,500 Gabriela Hearst, new $coialist worker’s uniform:The New People’s UniformTo be fair, AOC has been rockin’ socialist uniforms ever since she was a wee one:And socialist workers have always had uniforms, although in the past they’ve been a bit drab and utilitarian:But in the 21st century, they’ve been replaced by a modern, somewhat saucier, look for the contemporary worker. Minus the guns of course, because Democratic Socialism is peaceful. At least at first.Girlfriend iz workin’ it!If you’ve been around for a while, you will remember that it was our first...

FULL TITLE: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Responds to Criticism of Her Posh Photo Shoot Outfit: ‘Get Used to Me Slaying Lewks’ Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is not letting the criticism of her photo shoot look go unnoticed. Talk of her too posh clothes has sparked a lot of talk in conservative circles lately. During a segment on Fox and Friends on Saturday, the hosts joined in the slamming of the congressional candidate for wearing an expensive outfit during a photo shoot. “And then there is this. The rising star of the Democratic Party has expensive tastes for a socialist,” guest host Katie Pavlich said....

...."Yet, there have been allegations that she hasn’t been straightforward with her upbringing. What appears to have been the selling line was that she’s Jewish, working class, and immigrated here when she was a baby from Colombia. Well, it looks like she was from a well-to-do family, born in Miami, and was a pro-life, pro-Israel supporter who appeared on Glenn Beck’s program representing Christians United for Israel. Oh yeah, and her family is Catholic. Multiple outlets, left and right leaning, have reported on this woman that has made a local New York State Senate race somewhat interesting. Tablet made light...

In June 2018, young 28-year-old "Socialist Democrat" Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez defeated 10-term Democrat Joe Crowley in what was considered a major upset. Crowley – a tried-and-true Democratic congressman with 20 years of loyal party service, proved no match for Ocasio-Cortez and her embodiment of the new brand of über-liberal progressivism. In the new paradigm of Democratic Party politics, there is no such thing as social policies that are too liberal, no education, healthcare, or assistance initiatives that are too generous with government-funded payouts, no position on illegal immigration or gender identity that is too lenient or accommodating. Now in Massachusetts, it...

Viola Davis has one person in mind when it comes to improving race relations in the country -- and she's a new, young face in politics who could soon be in congress. We got the 'How to Get Away with Murder' star Sunday at LAX and asked who she thought might be the next champion of our time, especially when it comes to easing racial tensions ... which seem to be at a bit of a boiling point lately. She nominates Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who just won the Democratic primary in New York and earned a spot on the midterm election...

Oh, Alexandria. Ever since she won a stunning upset victory over her democrat primary rival, incumbent New York Representative Joe Crowley, self-described “democratic socialist” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has become the far left’s new “it” girl, appearing in a nauseating number of puff media appearances, showing up in hyper-liberal candidate fundraising appeals, and generally just being everywhere. Including Maine. But I’ll get to that in a minute. Of course, her rising media star hasn’t actually been a good thing for her. The candidates she has endorsed have been almost universally trounced. She made an abject fool out of herself when trying to...

The Washington Post fact-checks Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's comments on the campaign trail.

On Monday, CRTV host Allie Stuckey released a hilarious video showing her “interviewing” socialist congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Although the quality of the video is very high, it’s obviously satirical and not meant to be taken as a real interview. It involves Stuckey asking simple questions to Ocasio-Cortez, who appears totally bewildered throughout the staged video. The satirical “interview”—which looks like something you might see on a late-night talk show—quickly went viral, garnering more than 1 million views in its first day and drawing the ire of the left-wing media, which by Wednesday had mobilized a campaign to discredit Stuckey and...

Our children’s lives are on the line. Not a single elected official, Democrat OR Republican, should accept money from fossil fuel corporations. Americans are dying because of a government too coward to save the planet. It’s wrong. And we will need a Green New Deal to survive.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez thinks the U.S. has 500 million people As of July 1, 2017, the U.S. Census Bureau estimates the U.S. population to be 325,719,178.However, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez thinks the U.S. has 500 million people.She recently stated:“200 million Americans make less than $20,000 a year. That’s 40% of this country.”Skip to 4:45 in this video to hear her say those words:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUmIdCClbTEI certainly would not expect her or anyone else to know the exact number. If she or anyone else had said that the U.S. population was 325 million or 330 million, that would be perfectly reasonable.But 500 million?

Hungary and Poland are smart enough to have thrown the infamous Nazi collaborator George Soros out of their countries, but here in America, the party of treason has canonized him and allowed him to anoint our destroyers.

Socialist Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took a break from her House campaign to represent New York’s 14th Congressional District but made up for lost time this weekend on Twitter by apologizing for banning the press from recent events while defending her move because supporters may need a “sanctuary space” away from the media. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @Ocasio2018 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Retweeted Matthew Yglesias Catching up on how this became a thing while I was gone. Biggest critique is it should‘ve been labeled “private,” even though we’d said prior it was closed to press. Genuine Q?: how should we label a free campaign event,...

Socialist New York congressional hopeful Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez lamented the closing of her former employer but glided over the fact that it was closing because of the minimum-wage hikes she supports. On Monday, Ocasio-Cortez visited The Coffee Place, a Union Square icon for years, to emphasize her familiarity with the lives of everyday workers. She cited her experience at the restaurant as a case study in bettering oneself and the future. "The restaurant I used to work at is closing its doors. I swung by today to say hi one last time and kid around with friends like old times," she...

Occasional Cortex Disorder (OCD) is a serious medical condition that deteriorates the reasoning power of the human brain.   The OCD brain collects facts, but can't associate or share knowledge across its memory spheres.  If a normal brain is a global network, the OCD brain is a siloed 1980s IBM PC.  OCD causes the cortex to form black holes which gravitationally pull back and stop information frombeing shared with other spheres. Simple facts the OCD brain can recall, such as: margarita recipes, salsa-sauce-making tips, and kitty litter clean up strategies. However complex thought is restricted.  Questions about foreign policy and...

Michigan’s primary is August 7 and last weekend the Progressive People’s Heroine from the Republic of New York came to my state to promote her equally progressive choice for Michigan’s governor. Why anyone should care who a socialist bartender from the Bronx thinks should be governor of our state is beyond me, but here she is, in her F-Me boots, promoting fellow socialist, Abdul El-Sayed. Yeah, let’s elect more of that.If you’re keeping track, El-Sayed was likewise endorsed by Bernie Sanders last week so it looks like he’s pretty much got the Progressive Democrats United votes locked up. And he’s...

A few weeks ago, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) wrote an article for Vox explaining the movement’s goals – to end capitalism and radically change America. In normal times, the declarations of a fringe party and ideology in America would not merit much attention. However, these are not normal times. A new Gallup poll shows that 57 percent of Democrats have a favorable view of socialism – while only 47 percent view capitalism positively. This pattern has been building for a while. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont took socialism mainstream in the party during the 2016...

Democratic New York congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez decided to ban the media from her latest town hall event with constituents. Ocasio-Cortez has been conducting a “listening tour” throughout the 14th district to talk with local residents about immigration, healthcare, and various other issues. However, according to the Queens Chronicle, Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign refused to allow any TV or newspaper reporters into her last event in Corona, Queens. Campaign spokesman Corbin Trent said the ban was the campaign’s response to an incident last week where Ocasio-Cortez met with healthcare activist Ady Barkan, and the two of them were “mobbed” by journalists despite...
