Free Republic

In an amazing announcement this week the Biden administration has declared they will be reopening a facility in Texas this week in order to temporarily house hundreds of migrant youths who have recently entered the country. If your head just tilted like a dog hearing a harmonica, you are not alone. All of a sudden, it appears, the concept of housing young children from other countries in a government setting is acceptable. Yes, this sounds like a contradiction from a narrative we have been served for the past four years, but just you wait. I recommend wearing eye protection, as...

Of all Democratic politicians, none has been as consistently dismissed by Republicans as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the 31-year-old New York darling of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party. Since her surprise upset election in 2018, the Congresswoman has consistently come in for the harshest criticism from the right, and Wednesday night was the latest installment. In response to an emotional Instagram video on Monday night, in which AOC gave a chilling account of what happened to her during the Capitol riot in early January, the hashtag #AOClied began trending on Twitter, along with #AlexandriaOcasioSmollett, a nod to Jussie Smollett,...

Alexandria Ocasio Smollett has had a tough month. She was nearly murdered by Ted Cruz in the January 6 riots. The New York Democrat took to Instagram Live to discuss her experiences during the Jan. 6 rioting, when rioters supporting President Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol, committing acts of vandalism and postponing the certification of the 2020 electoral college results as members of Congress were forced to evacuate the building. “Hide, hide, run and hide,” Ocasio-Cortez recalled one of her staffers telling her. After hearing loud banging on her office door, Ocasio-Cortez said she hid in her bathroom as...

WASHINGTON D.C.—Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the world’s smartest socialist, gave more harrowing testimony of her experience during the January 6th riot at the Capitol. She said it was even worse than what she had previously revealed, stating that she was, in fact, killed by the riot and is now a ghost. “It was a very scary riot,” said the ghostly apparition of Ocasio-Cortez. “Not like one of those nice Black Lives Matter ones where all that happened was someone’s barbershop or something got burned down. So scary, in fact, that I was killed by it. Murdered. Murdered by Ted Cruz. Woo-ooo!”

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Friday doubled down on her “terrifying” experience during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot — saying she initially kept mum about it because “so many survivors fear being publicly doubted.” The Bronx-Queens congresswoman appeared on “CBS This Morning” after being accused of exaggerating details of Jan. 6, when a mob of protesters supporting former President Donald Trump protesters breached the Capitol building. “It’s unfortunately kind of the spring to deny and to politicize our accounts, was something that I sat with,” Ocasio-Cortez said on the show. “So many survivors fear being publicly doubted. But the fact of...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a darling of the left, not just in the news media but in Hollywood and pop culture venues. She's been on the cover of Time, Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, Bloomberg Businessweek, New York Magazine and the Hollywood Reporter. She is hailed all over for her social media prowess. But at a time when these left-wing venues have expressed a massive panic over misinformation on the internet and the need for fact-checking, they don't seem to feel this way about anything spouted by AOC. In the Feb. 1 CNN "Reliable Sources" newsletter, a top story headline read, "AOC...

WASHINGTON, D.C.—In a recent video, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recalled her harrowing experience at Nakatomi Plaza on the night terrorists stormed the building. She describes her near-death experience and what it was like trying to survive. “I can tell you that I had a very close encounter where I thought I was going to die," said AOC describing the events at Nakatomi Plaza. “Hans Gruber and his armed thugs took control of the building, and everyone was in a panic.” The congresswoman said she was able to sneak away and hide behind a bathroom door for safety. “But suddenly a deranged,...

Another day, another round of right-wing pundits trying to dunk on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. But this time, her supporters are fighting back with cuteness. The outspoken member of Congress from New York has frequently been a target for Republicans, and this time it's with the hashtag #AOClied, which was trending on Twitter Thursday morning.

Etymologically narcissism and narcotics have a common origin thousands of years ago. Narcisissus got drunk with self-love so delirious that it killed him. Narcotics are mind altering substances that can be so damaging that they are illegal. Is there anything more narcissistic than terminating life within you as a method of contraception? (NB some terminations are like this. Not all of them. The decision to terminate is not always narcissism.) How is spending money you dont have and thereby crippling future generations with debt anything other narcissim? Some people like to slam Donald Trump as an alleged narcissist. There is...

Rep. Ocasio-Cortez is being dubbed “Alexandria Ocasio-Smollett” as details emerge that she exaggerated the extent of her “trauma” from the Capitol riot, given that she was not at the site of the siege, but in an office building nearby.

There is indeed a fight underway for the future of the Republican Party, but it's not about QAnon conspiracy theories or crackpot lawmakers.There’s a big push right now among corporate media, Democrats, and NeverTrumpers to establish a narrative that the Republican Party is being torn apart in a bitter civil war between its establishment wing and its supposed QAnon wing. It’s about as true as your garden-variety QAnon conspiracy theory, but it’s politically useful, which is why you’re seeing it crop up all over the media right now.According to this narrative, dangerous right-wing conspiracy theorists and QAnon acolytes make up...

"Team AOC" sent out an email Wednesday night asking supporters to report social media posts which include the revelation that Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was not in the US Capitol Building during the January 6 riot, which she wasn't.

The corruption of the Renaissance Church prompted the Reformation, which in turn sparked a Counter-Reformation of reformist, and more zealous, Catholics. The cultural excesses and economic recklessness of the Roaring ’20s were followed by the bleak, dour, and impoverished years of the Great Depression.

Remember how socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) has been telling anyone who will listen about her terrifying, near-death experience during the Capitol riots? And how Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) almost had her "murdered?" It turns out, according Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) and others, that Ocasio-Cortez wasn’t even in the Capitol building during the events of January 6. Ocasio-Cortez was at the Cannon Building, where her office is. “My office is 2 doors down,” Mace wrote in a Tuesday Twitter post. “Insurrectionists never stormed our hallway. Egregious doesn’t even begin to cover it. Is there nothing the MSM won’t politicize?”

Talk about high praise! Or was it the soft bigotry of low expectations? On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough said: "AOC's never, actually, threatened to kill a Republican."Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Once upon a time, stock trading served as a way for businesses to raise capital and for traders to make investments. If companies flourished, stocks rose and investors made money; if not, stocks fell and investors lost money. This was the way the stock market was intended to function. Over time, however, more and more rules and regulations were added, each to address something that at the time was thought necessary to prevent cheating and manipulation. Just like the proverbial “Road to Hell,” Wall Street became paved with regulatory good intentions. Instead of eradicating cheating, manipulation, and fraud every new...

WASHINGTON, D.C.—In recounting her terrifying experience in the Capitol when America's sacred and holy democracy was assaulted by Lin Wood's Twitter followers, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez revealed that the attack was much more horrible and terrifying than anyone originally thought. "At one point, two scary men in MAGA hats, like, literally threw copies of Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell, literally right at me," said AOC. "They said: 'Read this! Read this please!' in their very scary man voices. I thought at that moment I was going to die. I'm lucky to still be standing before you today."

@AOC just shared on IG Live that she is a survivor of sexual assault. She says that this is part of the reason she has waited to tell her story of her experience during the Capitol insurrection. As a survivor, she is used to not being believed. @AOC @AOC says 1 week before the insurrection she was getting texts that she needed to be careful, specifically on the 6th. In a deeply relatable move, AOC says she was singing Nina Simone and feeling great after Ossoff and Warnock won in Georgia. (Just before the insurrection began.) Then after 1pm, AOC...
