Arrogant Ocasio-Cortez on Green New Deal: ‘We’re in charge’ — James Woods reminds her: ‘YOU work for US’ By Joe Newby - February 24, 2019 On Friday, newly-elected Democrat Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told Americans that “we’re in charge” on the so-called Green New Deal, a scheme designed to destroy the entire U.S. economy for generations of Americans. This didn’t sit too well with James Woods, who reminded her in no uncertain terms that she, as a member of Congress, works for the American people, not the other way around. “Yup. If you don’t like the #GreenNewDeal, then come up with...

Martina Markota of The Rebel.media reports on Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appearing a new special edition comic book.

Even the most eager proponents of the Green New Deal would have to admit that the rollout hasn't gone too smoothly. First Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, NY congresswoman and de facto leader of the Democratic Party, put out a hilarious GND FAQ (archived here). It has all sorts of crazy nonsense she proposes to accomplish within the next 10 years, like "retrofit every building in America" and "get rid of farting cows and airplanes." She's promising everything but free unicorns for everybody. ... Then, when everybody laughed at this ridiculous fantasy, AOC claimed that the FAQ was just a rough draft that...

The Afternoon Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) It’s such a busy day that I thought I’d do some quick takes on the passing scene… My take on the Academy Awards – Every Oscar went to some guy or woman I’ve never heard of for a movie I haven’t seen and won’t see in the future. Oh wait: I have heard of Spike Lee, but after his childish display of petulance last night, I wish I hadn’t. The lack of self-awareness is strong in this one… – Chelsea Clinton complains that her grandmother did not have access to Planned...

Freshman New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Sunday night confirmed The Post’s reporting that she’s relocated to a new Bronx apartment in her neighborhood. A day after residents at the Democratic congresswoman’s listed address told The Post they’d never seen her around, her spokesman on Sunday said she moved recently to a larger apartment “a block and a half away” with her boyfriend. In a tweet, the left-wing darling also said she remained a Bronx resident. “I still live in my hood and literally instagrammed from my apartment tonight,” Ocasio-Cortez, 29, wrote in response to The Post’s reporting. On Saturday,...

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. She came up with some primo idiocy on the livestream, delivered while she endangered herself...

US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez scrambled Sunday to explain why neighbors at her listed Bronx address never saw her there — and ended up claiming she recently relocated to a larger place nearby. The day after The Post reported that residents said they had never seen her around — and she ducked questions about it after an appearance — her spokesman said the Democratic freshman congresswoman now lives with her boyfriend in a two-bedroom apartment “a block and a half away.’’ The pair relocated there earlier this month, he said. “She lives in the same neighborhood she’s lived in for years,”...

Communist Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY) is on a major ego trip in the wake of the unveiling of her radical Green New Deal. The 29-year-old lawmaker popped off at the New York Hall of Science on Friday while speaking on a ‘Girls Who Code’ panel. Ocasio-Cortez sounded like a Socialist dictator (with a Bronx accent) as she reminded the crowd that it’s the radicals who drive the agenda and no one has done what she has in regards to the Green New Deal. Forget the fact that the Green New Deal is completely absurd on the face it. The...

Via the Free Beacon, my plan to drastically reduce carbon emissions is to nuke China, since they’re the global leader and will continue to run on fossil fuels even if we passed the Green New Deal tomorrow.So now I’m the boss, I guess. How ’bout dah? Is her bravado aimed only at right-wing critics of the GND or those on the left as well? She can’t mean to suggest here that she’s the first Democrat to try to move climate-change legislation; her co-sponsor, Ed Markey, actually got a cap-and-trade bill through the House 10 years ago. (The Democratic Senate...

I believe in happy endings. Do you? The biggest political story in America today is AOC (Alexandria Ocasio Cortez). And I know how to produce a happy ending- at least for President Trump, the GOP and capitalism. I believe I can end AOC’s political career, as quickly as it began. For all intents and purposes, AOC is now the face and brand name of socialism. That means if we end AOC, we can end America’s dangerous flirtation with socialism. Democrats love to ask for the tax returns of high profile Republicans. Think Trump. Democrats demand his tax returns all day...

New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has painted a picture of herself as a tough woman from the Bronx but it appears to be a façade. It has been alleged before that she was raised in the affluent Westchester region of New York and was a fraud. She has strongly denied those accusations and insisted she was raised in the Bronx and Westchester. But now that she is a Congresswoman she insists that she resides full time in the Bronx and her brand is built on that premise. That is when she is not living in her luxury apartment in Washington...

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has insisted that she does live in the Bronx, despite claims that her neighbors have never met her. Through a spokesman, the New York Democrat strongly denied a Saturday 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. 'She lives there,' the freshman congresswoman's spokesman Corbin Trent told DailyMail.com, referring to a condo in the Parkchester neighborhood that was owned by Ocasio-Cortez's late father. 'That's home, period, for her. That's where she gets her energy, her drive. She not only lives...

<p>She may be America’s most famous freshman congresswoman, but in New York, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a virtual ghost.</p> <p>She has no district office and no local phone number, unlike the state’s three other freshman members.</p> <p>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.</p>

This is how @SenFeinstein reacted to children asking her to support the #GreenNewDeal resolution -- with smugness + disrespect. This is a fight for our generation's survival. Her reaction is why young people desperately want new leadership in Congress.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spent plenty of air time explaining “farting cows,” as she defended her so-called Green New Deal on the premiere of Showtime’s “Desus & Mero.” According to an initial outline of the measure, the freshman Democrat and Sen. Edward Markey (D-Mass.) said they “set a goal to get to net-zero, rather than zero emissions, in 10 years because we aren’t sure that we’ll be able to fully get rid of farting cows and airplanes that fast.” The language was later changed to “emissions from cows.” On Thursday night, comedy duo Desus Nice and The Kid Mero asked Ocasio-Cortez...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez scolded media outlets for reporting that she lives in a luxury high-rise building in Washington, DC, around the time she and other high-profile Democrats appeared on a hit list compiled by a Maryland man arrested for allegedly planning a mass terror attack. “Journalists are sharing stories about where I live the same day it’s shared that myself + others were targeted by a mass shooter,” the New York Democrat tweeted late Wednesday. “All this paired w/ amplifying unvetted conspiracy theories. It’s reckless, irresponsible & puts people directly in danger. This isn’t a game.” **SNIP** Ocasio-Cortez’s office pushed...

It doesn’t matter if they didn’t intend this to be this way, it’s the new theme song for Alexandria Occasional Cortex and the rest of her socialist comrades. (Language warning) Let’s give stupidity a chance [Pet Shop Boys] Intelligent people Have had their say It’s time for the foolish To show the way [Refrain] Let’s lead this world a merry dance Let’s give stupidity a chance We’ve heard quite enough Of experts and their dealings Why face the facts When you can just feel the feelings? [Refrain] Let’s lead this world a merry dance Let’s give stupidity a chance Forget...

The message dedicated to the congresswoman reads: '25,000 lost NYC jobs, $4 billion in lost wages, $12 billion in lost economic activity for NY — thanks for nothing, AOC!' Yesterday the politician responded to the billboard's message in a public post to her 3.2million followers. The U.S representative wrote: 'Few things effectively communicate the power we've built in fighting dark money & anti-worker policies like billionaire-funded groups blowing tons of cash on wack billboards (this one is funded by the Mercers). She further went on to say: 'Billionaires paying to put up anti-progressive propaganda in Times Square is like the...

Writer/reporter Luke Thompson divulged last week that Rep. Alexander Ocasio-Cortez, D-NY, set up her boyfriend, Riley Roberts, with an official house.gov email address, noting that he was “drawing a salary on the taxpayer’s dime.” The self-avowed democratic socialistic was quick to dispute that notion, responding to say Roberts was set with the email account to access her Google calendar, which may not be entirely within House rules, given that they don’t appear to be married — the haste in which Ocasio-Cortez responded verified the accuracy of the boyfriend having a government email address. And Thompson is back this week with...
