Alliance of Democracies Summit: The Glass House Where the Power Elite Gather to Throw Stones WRITTEN BY: ALAN MACLEOD PUBLISHED ON: MAY 15, 2021 The lineup of presidents, generals and CEOs makes it clear that what was stated is effectively the collective view of the world’s elite and a window into their thinking and the debates they are having. What they decide will affect all of us, whether we realize it or not. COPENHAGEN, DENMARK — The United States is the nation that most threatens democracy worldwide, far more than Russia or even China. That is the headline finding from...

- A year before her election to Congress, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene searched for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at her Capitol office, taunting the New York Democrat to "get rid of your diaper" and "talk to the American citizens," as shown in video unearthed by CNN. "I am an American citizen. I pay your salary through the taxes that you collect from me through the IRS," Greene says through the mail slot of a locked door. "I am a woman. I am a female business owner and I’m proud to be an American woman. And I do not support your socialist...

HUMAN SHIELDS: Arab-Islamic Terrorists' Use of Its Own Civilians

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested on Thursday that there should be an Ethics investigation into Georgia GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for confronting New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. During her weekly press conference, Pelosi spoke about Greene confronting Cortez on Wednesday and accused her of supporting “terrorists,” leading to AOC’s office to call on leadership to ensure that Congress remains “a safe, civil place for all Members and staff.” “It’s so beyond the pale of anything that is in keeping with bringing honor to the House, or not bringing dishonor to the House,” Pelosi said. “It’s so beyond the pale...

The furor over Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's (R-Ga.) treatment of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) has sparked new worries that lawmakers could be in danger from their own colleagues. Fears about growing incivility and polarization in American politics have been climbing for a generation. But the concern has reached a different order of intensity since the Capitol insurrection on Jan. 6, when members of Congress literally feared for their lives. Greene’s encounters with some of her Democratic colleagues, along with a confrontation between a Greene staffer and Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), show just how febrile the atmosphere on Capitol Hill has...

Left-wing US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Tuesday blasted New York City mayoral candidate Andrew Yang for his tweet expressing support for Israel. On Tuesday, Yang tweeted, “I’m standing with the people of Israel who are coming under bombardment attacks, and condemn the Hamas terrorists.” The people of NYC will always stand with our brothers and sisters in Israel who face down terrorism and persevere,” he pledged. Responding to news that a planned Yang campaign event had been cancelled, Ocasio-Cortez tweeted, “Utterly shameful for Yang to try to show up to an Eid event after sending out a chest-thumping statement...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) claimed Thursday the “incarceration of children in Palestine” is similar to the conditions of migrants at President Joe Biden’s managed southern border. “We are scared to stand up to the incarceration of children in Palestine because maybe it’ll force us to confront the incarceration of children here on our border,” she said on the House floor.

Remember when New York socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and others went to the U.S.-Mexico border nearly two years ago and clearly staged a stunt to blame Donald Trump for the migrant surge? Well, it turns out federal memos reveal that she was in an “agitated” state when she visited a Border Patrol station in El Paso, Texas, in 2019 and began screaming at a female agent. The memos center around an incident that AOC claimed happened in which an agent allegedly took a “selfie” with Ocasio-Cortez, triggering AOC into a temper tantrum.

Inspired by FDR's Civilian Conservation Corps, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) wants to establish a Civilian Climate Change Corps (CCCC). "This Corps will achieve two major objectives," she said. "First, it will battle the scourge of carbon dioxide that is the chief culprit in global warming. Second, it will provide jobs for healthy young people and help extricate our economy from the depression inflicted on it by Trump." "The main method the Corps will employ is to practice slow breathing," the Congresswoman explained. "Normally, young people are very active. In this active state heavy breathing takes place. This means increased...

President Joe Biden this week cut "God" out of his proclamation for a National Day of Prayer. Instead, he calls on "citizens" to follow "their own faiths and consciences."

AOC wants you! Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other Democrats backing the Green New Deal are seeking to create a 1.5 million-strong group of Americans to join a “Civilian Climate Corps” to work on federal projects to battle climate change, Fox News reported on Wednesday. The New York Democrat and Sen. Edward Markey of Massachusetts are among the progressive lawmakers who introduced the bill to establish the civilian force that will be tasked with “responding to climate change and transition to a clean economy.”

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other progressive lawmakers are calling for the creation of a 1.5 million-strong group of civilians to work on federally funded projects addressing climate change as part of their sweeping Green New Deal legislation.

Editor's Note: This piece was co-authored by David Goetsch.Leftist politicians, President Joe Biden, Marxist professors, the mainstream media, historical revisionists and the entertainment industry all play a role in hoodwinking young people into favoring socialism over freedom, enterprise and self-determination. However, the most important factor in the susceptibility of young people to the false promises of socialism is their parents. Turning the youngsters of today into the socialists of tomorrow begins in the home. This is why, with apologies to Willie Nelson, we offer this warning: Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be socialists. In our upcoming book,...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has said President Joe Biden's first 100 days 'have been impressive' and 'exceeded' the expectations of Democrat progressives. The New York congresswoman said during a virtual town hall meeting: 'The Biden administration and President Biden have definitely exceeded expectations that progressives had. 'I'll be frank, I think a lot of us expected a much more conservative administration.

U.S. Rep. Ayanna Pressley’s silence on questions about her Boston property and whether she is charging rent during the coronavirus pandemic is becoming deafening. Pressley is one of the leading progressives in Congress but all too often just refuses to respond to non-softball questions — following the Elizabeth Warren school of public relations. One of the latest examples: A press release and press conference last month from her and other members of the “Squad” — Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Rep. Rashida Talib, D-Mich. — announcing they were re-introducing the “Rent and Mortgage Cancellation Act.” What...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been mocked for claiming that climate change is a product of racial injustice, as she relaunched her controversial Green New Deal. The New York congresswoman on Tuesday spoke in front of the Capitol to promote her plan, which set a series of ambitious targets such as eliminating U.S. greenhouse gas emissions within a decade and transitioning the economy away from fossil fuels. Ocasio-Cortez said that climate change must be viewed through the lens of race.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and other members of the progressive "Squad" spent thousands of dollars on private security despite calling on cities to defund police departments, Federal Election Commission filings show. The group of progressive, Democratic congresswomen including Reps. Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Cori Bush of Missouri, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan have voiced their support for measures to reduce police spending and allocate those funds toward other community services in an effort to curb police violence. Tlaib's filings do not show any security-related spending, though the other four congresswomen have spent tens...
