We Chumps are not likely to be as pleased as Chucky about his plans for how Joey can spend our money without our consent - before it’s even “deemed” to be “his” to spend. Of course forgiving student loans was Pocahontas’ plan to win the Dem primary. Didn’t work out well for her, possibly for the same reason referenced by Damon, above - Chump anger:A man approached Warren with a question. “My daughter is getting out of school. I’ve saved all my money [so that] she doesn’t have any student loans. Am I going to get my money back?”“Of course...

Left-wing group linked to AOC pressures Biden to remake economy A left-wing group with ties to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is pressuring President-elect Joe Biden to use executive orders for liberal policies to revive the economy — including the Green New Deal — when he takes control of the White House in January. New Consensus sent Biden a seven-page manifesto Wednesday suggesting that he become the Franklin Delano Roosevelt of the 21st Century, mobilizing the massive government machinery at his disposal to fix the nation’s creaky infrastructure and limping manufacturing sectors amid the coronavirus pandemic while creating sustainable jobs of the...

New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez falsely claimed that Democrats lost the House majority during virtual town hall Thursday evening. A constituent asked Ocasio-Cortez about her thoughts on Democrats shrinking their majority in the House and expressed her frustration. “Why did we lose so many seats, and what needs to be done to get them back next term?” the moderator asked on behalf on the constituent. “So, you know, of course, the loss of the House majority is just extraordinarily upsetting to all of us. It’s upsetting to all of us who are invested in having a Democratic majority so...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is reportedly planning to hold a Zoom Thanksgiving this year, telling her 10.2 million Twitter followers that it is “time to get creative.” “.@AOC Thanksgiving plan: She and her family will all cook from the same recipe, then eat over Zoom,” Politico’s Erin Durkin reported, prompting a response from the New York lawmaker, who did not deny her purported plans.

As my RedState colleague Mike Miller reported this morning, the last ten days have not gone so well for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). The self-admitted socialist and her fellow extremist “Squad” members are being blamed for the shellacking House Democrats took on Election Day. The blame games have gotten so bad that AOC even hinted that she might walk away from politics sooner rather than later out of frustration . “It’s the lack of support from your own party. It’s your own party thinking you’re the enemy,” were among the many reasons she gave as to why. But though deflated,...

That’s my message to Alexandria Ocasio- Cortez, Robert Reich, the Trump Accountability Project and all the other leftwing zealots who want to go after people who supported Donald Trump.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. fired a warning shot at Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.V., as the moderate West Virginia Democrat continued to vow that he will block any "crazy socialist agenda" on Capitol Hill. The stakes are high as the balance of power appears to be hanging on the results of two Georgia runoff elections in January that will determine if Republicans will maintain control of the Senate or if Democrats seize the chamber by a 50-50 margin with Vice President-elect Kamala Harris acting as the tiebreaking vote. On Monday, Manchin made headlines on "Special Report" when he told Fox News...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez defended her support for “defund the police” Thursday night 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. 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.” Ocasio-Cortez, the Democratic Socialist congresswoman admitted that some critics were “apoplectic” over defunding the police. But she complained...

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said recently on CNN’s “State of the Union” that she will be working hard to make sure Democratic candidates Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock beat incumbent Senator. David Perdue (R-GA) and Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) in upcoming Senate runoff elections. Anchor Jake Tapper said, “Biden is planning a wave of executive orders to roll back some of Trump’s policies once he takes office, on everything from climate to the so-called Muslim ban. As of now, however, it looks as though Republicans, at least until January, will hold control of the Senate. That’s going to complicate your desire...

On Monday, Rep. Cheri Bustos (D-Ill.) said she would not seek another term as chairwoman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), the House Democrats’ campaign arm, after the Democrats took a painful shellacking in the 2020 elections. Saikat Chakrabarti, former chief of staff to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and the co-founder of Justice Democrats (which launched AOC), said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) should be the one to resign. “In any other country, Pelosi would be stepping down right now,” Chakrabarti tweeted.

If Joe Biden were serious about unifying the country, he would condemn the voices in his own party demanding to punish their political opponents. Former Vice President Joe Biden delivered a victory speech Saturday night calling for national unity, insisting the country to move past partisan divides to new heights.“With the campaign over, it’s time to put the anger and the harsh rhetoric behind us and come together as a nation,” Biden said celebrating his media-declared victory. “It’s time for Americans to unite. And to heal.”True to form, however, Biden cast no blame on the loudest voices within his own...

Last Friday, the 6th of November, AOC, the pro-socialist rep from New York, made a shocking announcement on Twitter. Her tweet said “Is anyone archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future? I foresee decent probability of many deleted Tweets, writings, photos in the future.” Shortly afterward, a few of her democratic socialist supporters banded together to create the “Trump Accountability Project,” which will somehow hold people responsible for supporting Trump. What that means, exactly, is not yet known. But what we do know is that AOC wants a list of...

I keep this evergreen 2014 tweet from Jon Gabriel on hand because sooner or later it’s suitable again: And after reading stuff like this from our tolerant betters on the left all week: I’m wondering…do  you think this is too soon? What I like about the Kamala era is all the cultural healing. — MOTUS (@MOTUSmirror) November 11, 2020 Remember: Posted from: MOTUS A.D.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez blamed 'Republican narratives' for tearing Democrats apart as she revealed over the weekend she considered not running for reelection due to in-house fighting between the progressive and establishment arms of the Party. When asked by The NY Times if she would consider running for the Senate if Biden's administration ended up being too 'hostile' toward progressive causes, she said, 'I genuinely don't know. I don't even know if I want to be in politics. You know, for real, in the first six months of my term, I didn't even know if I was going to run for re-election...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and freshmen members of the Democratic Party's left wing took fire from Rep. Abigail Spanberger during a Thursday conference call among House Democrats, with Spanberger blaming poor messaging on the party losing seats in the House of Representatives. Spanberger, a former CIA officer who narrowly flipped a traditionally red Virginia district in 2018, once again eked out a victory on Tuesday but said it shouldn't have been that close, and her caucus lost races they shouldn't have. "The number one concern that people brought to me in my race that I barely rewon was defunding the...

Just hours after the mainstream media has anointed Joe Biden as President-Elect, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez seems to be having some type of meltdown. With Trump on his way out of office, AOC has turned her ire against a new cause: Democrats that aren't moving far enough to the left. Perhaps indifferent about the fact that the Presidential election seems to have swung in her favor since there was no "blue wave", AOC said this weekend that Democrats who lost House seats "relied too heavily on outdated Democratic National Committee campaign tactics," according to Fox News. She called those who...

I have to be careful in writing this column, not because I might say something I don’t mean, but because I might say exactly what I mean and the editors will cut it because it’s…well, let’s just say “not quite family friendly.” In “Groundhog Day,” Bill Murray tells Phil the groundhog “Don’t drive angry.” Writing angry is fine, but writing disgusted is something different. So, if you pick up on any subliminal messages in this piece, they are by accident (mostly). Whatever ends up happening with the challenges in the election (the media called it for Biden and in between...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC US House candidate, NY-14 “... the kind of videos (Lincoln Project) made are pretty well shown to not be persuasive for a Never Trump message.

Moscow, November 5, Interfax - A ban on insulting the feelings of the faithful should be enshrined in international law, Russian President Vladimir Putin said. At his meeting with representatives from religious organizations on the National Unity Day on Wednesday, one attendee, Ismail Berdiyev, head of the North Caucasus Muslims' Coordinating Center, suggested that the president present to the UN Security Council an idea that all countries introduce a law making it unacceptable to offend religious feelings. "It is a good proposal. I don't understand, who could be against a ban on insulting the feelings of the faithful in any...
