Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., expressed optimism that progressive Democrats can “likely” push Joe Biden further to the left if he’s elected president. She noted that Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-VT, is reportedly concerned that Biden is not far left enough, an assessment she said she agrees with. "We're different people, and clearly I, in the primary, one of the reasons why I was supportive of Senator Sanders was because of how progressive his stances are, but, you know, the primaries are over, and right now what is most important is to make sure that we ensure a Democratic victory in November...

This article is an adapted excerpt from “Abuse of Power: Inside the Three-Year Campaign to Impeach Donald Trump.” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s avoidance of impeachment was going to be one of many problems the House speaker would have with “The Squad.” Over the summer, her grip on power began to weaken, as she tried to put down a party rebellion.Pelosi’s compromise border security funding bill initially had only nominal Democratic opposition. But The Squad, consisting of Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and Ayanna Pressley, wanted to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement, not fund it. The Senate...

Joe Biden has made it clear that he was for fracking before he was against it. Forget the cognitive testing – the cognitive dissidence of the incoherent policies his puppet masters are feeding him through his earpiece is enough to disqualify him for the presidency and may doom him politically in key states like Pennsylvania just as Hillary Clinton’s pledge to bankrupt a lot of coal companies did. Banning fossil fuels and killing the energy independence Trump achieved before the Wuhan virus pandemic would kill the American economy and future hopes for recovery. It is said a little child shall...

Joe Biden has made it clear that he was for fracking before he was against it.

With her shocking win in the Democratic primary, radical leftist Cori Bush is poised for Congress, as the cadre of open socialists continues to grow. The last time a Democratic Party candidate lost the Missouri First Congressional District was in 1942. So, while it’s not officially a done deal, it’s quite safe to assume Cori Bush — the Democratic Party’s nominee for MO-1 — will take her seat in the U.S. House of Representatives this coming January. When that occurs, she’ll join a growing chorus of truly radical voices in Congress.Recently, a stark reminder of Bush’s almost assured election to...

Say their names: Charles Nicholas Wall, 45, and his stepdaughter Laura Ashley Anderson, 21, both white, were shot dead by Ty Sheem Ha Sheem Walters III, 23, black. The local news called it a road rage incident, that’s BS. Ty Sheem Ha Sheem Walters III rear-ended Wall’s car as Wall was turning into his step-daughter’s driveway. Although Walters was clearly at fault Democrats have spent years telling him that he’s a victim so I’m sure he felt more than justified in murdering two innocent people and wounding a third because he thought they got in his way. Welcome to Thug...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has claimed that the prevention of felons being able to vote is a “legacy” of slavery in America. AOC Talks Nonsense About Felon Voting Ocasio-Cortez believes that felon disenfranchisement, a system perpetuated by 48 states that prevents convicted felons from having the right to vote, is grossly unjust. On an Instagram livestream, the freshman congresswoman rattled off a number of reasons why someone may not be eligible to vote in national elections in the United States.[snip] Whilst this may sound like complete crazy talk to ordinary citizens, it is not only Ocasio-Cortez who is in favor...

I didn’t watch any of the Democrats’ virtual Shark Week but I did catch clips of Michelle Obama from Monday night and AOC last night. My observations: First, both of them have been taking professional coaching lessons in diction and presentation. This generally  implies grooming for additional public exposure. With Lady Mocha Michelle I can only hope that means she’s vying for Becoming the county’s next Oprah on Netflix rather than completing the transformation of America in The Second Coming of the Won (which will also be available on Netflix if and when somebody picks up the option). “Empathy: that’s...

U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez nominated Bernie Sanders on Tuesday in a convention speech that honored him for organizing “a historic grassroots campaign to reclaim our democracy.”

by Samantha Foster When they were handing out speaking slots for their convention this week, Democrat leaders thought it would be a good idea to diss rising far-left progressive Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez by giving her just 60 SECONDS to speak. I'm pretty sure they are now regretting that decision -- BIGLY. That's because AOC (D-NY) used her one minute of time to SNUB presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden --- and instead to nominate Bernie Sanders for president. Ocasio-Cortez began by stating, “Good evening, bienvenidos, and thank you to everyone here today endeavoring toward a better, more just future for...

The Democratic National Committee is getting backlash from its far-left base, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who got a 60-second speaking slot at the ongoing 2020 Democrat convention while former Gov. John Kasich (R-OH) spoke much longer. NBC reported on the online friction: The spat exposes a rift as the Democratic Party pushes a unity message by showcasing both liberals within their party and several Republicans unhappy with President Donald Trump.

New York City’s Democratic Socialists of America chapter ignited a firestorm Friday for drawing up a survey asking City Council candidates if they will pledge to not visit Israel and support a boycott of the Jewish state. The questions about Israel come at the end of the 12-page questionnaire, which was sent out late last month and was obtained by The Post.

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.

World champion soccer player and trailblazing activist Megan Rapinoe hosts a fearless conversation with Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones, and acclaimed television host Hasan Minhaj. Watch these change-makers come together to talk about the challenges we face as a nation. Known for both her talent on the field and her dedication to activism, Rapinoe has become one of the United States’ most recognizable and admired advocates for change.

President Trump on Thursday slammed Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as “a real beauty” who “knows nothing about the economy.” Trump said during a speech in Ohio that Democrats want to “inflict a socialist takeover of the US economy known as the horrendous Green New Deal." The environmental package “was conceived by a young woman AOC — AOC plus three, I say — AOC, that’s a real beauty, isn’t it?”

"For Children": President Trump Trolls AOC Over Her Green New Deal On Saturday while speaking in New Jersey at his golf club, President Donald Trump unloaded on Socialist Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for her "Green New Deal," stating that it is "for children." “I actually say the Green New Deal is childish. It’s for children; it’s not for adults,” the President said.

The speaking lineup for this month's Democratic National Convention is beginning to take form, with several high-profile Democrats securing spots. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), a progressive superstar, is expected to have some sort of speaking slot, a House member told Politico, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and 2016 presidential nominee Hillary Clinton will also speak, according to Axios. Warren and Clinton are reportedly slated to speak on Aug. 19, the day before former Vice President Joe Biden will formally accept the 2020 Democratic nomination. Other Democrats expected to have speaking slots are Biden's wife, Jill Biden, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.),...

Sen. Kamala Harris of California and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York are teaming up on a proposal requiring lawmakers who introduce climate bills to consider the impact such legislation will have on black people and poor communities. The two Democrats introduced the Climate Equity Act Thursday that would, if passed, require Congress to score future climate bills based on how much they may negatively impact poor and minority communities, The Washington Post reported. The two Democrats initially unveiled a draft of the bill in 2019, when Harris began her unsuccessful run for president, media reports show. The equity score...

Prioritizing radical left 'rock-star' politicians over scripture and two millennia of tradition and teaching allows confusion and mischievous distortions of the truth to scatter and divide Christians. A galling op-ed in the National Catholic Reporter last week proclaimed that Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is “the future of the Catholic Church.” If executive editor Heidi Schlumpf is correct that a pro-abortion socialist who insulted one of the most courageous and compassionate modern saints is the new poster child for Catholics, God help us.Our Lord entrusted the church to St. Peter and the apostles, and its teachings have been faithfully passed down...
