Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., on Sunday blamed Democrats – both in the House of Representatives and at the White House – for allowing the eviction moratorium to expire, as millions of American families are at risk of being kicked out of their homes. "The House and House leadership had the opportunity to vote to extend the moratorium, and there was frankly a handful of conservative Democrats in the House who threatened to get on planes rather than hold this vote," she said on CNN "State of the Union." "We have to really just call a spade a spade. We cannot,...

Guinness World Records confirmed that Samantha Ramsdell, from Connecticut, is the record holder for the world's largest mouth gape for a female. Her mouth gape measures 6.56 centimeters, or about two and a half inches. When measured across, it reaches more than 10 centimeters, or four inches. Ramsdell said she has always known she has a big mouth, but it wasn't until the "children of TikTok" pointed out she may have a record-sized mouth that she was encouraged to go for the record.

U.S. Representative Cori Bush, who was evicted three times and lived in her car with her two children before her career in politics, spent a sleepless night on the U.S. Capitol steps to protest the end on Saturday of a pandemic freeze on evictions. Bush, a progressive Democrat who won her Missouri seat last year, managed about an hour of sleep sitting upright on a camp chair. Three other progressive lawmakers – Representatives Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez – showed up to support her. “We slept at the Capitol last night to ask them to come back and...

VIDEOAfter being castigated by her fellow leftists for her failure to ACT on moving Medicare For All forward, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez felt compelled into assuming Controlled Opposition Performance Art mode to hilariously pretend she (and Cori Bush) were unable to keep Congress from adjourning because they couldn't run fast enough through the halls of Congress. I kid you not. Yes, if only, if only AOC had just been just a little bit faster on her feet perhaps she could have extended the federal eviction moratorium. It sounds like a scene out of her future bio movie about the "radical" (but...

At a time when the bipartisan infrastructure deal is on life support, the “human infrastructure” fight will perhaps be the test for President Joe Biden that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi failed miserably when it came to leading her party. My book “Abuse of Power” details Pelosi’s massive collapse of leadership in the face of four freshmen members and offers a warning for the Biden administration. In a recent fundraising email, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), said, “the idea that we would be limited by a bipartisan deal is laughable,” and said House progressives would “withhold their votes on the infrastructure bill...

As if fake-crying congressmen weeping into strategically prepositioned Kleenex during the 1/6 show trial were not sufficiently over the top, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez added a bizarre note yesterday. Prompted by interviewer Dana Bash, she claimed that when she was in her office, a quarter-mile from the U.S. Capitol, she feared being raped — and then murdered

Project Veritas published a new video today of an unreleased CNN documentary that features Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez describing her life experiences and political career. Here are some of the highlights from today’s video: Dana Bash, CNN Anchor and Chief Political Correspondent: “You're now in your second term in the House, you have 12 million Twitter followers, nine million Instagram followers, and they all know you by three letters: AOC. So, what's it like to be AOC?” Bash: “What's it like to be one of the most famous politicians in America, to be both adored and reviled with seemingly equal passion,...

“I want to abolish our carceral system that’s designed to trap Black and Brown men,” the democratic socialist told a rally of Turner supporters in Cleveland. “I want justice. I want peace, and I want prosperity. That’s what I want.”

NEW YORK, NY—Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the world’s smartest socialist, is always talking about the evils of capitalism. Now tragedy has struck her with what she sees as a clear failure of that economic system: She has accidentally super-glued her face to her coffee table. “See what capitalism has done to me?!” Ocasio-Cortez told the press who had to meet her in her living room, since she couldn’t leave because a coffee table was glued to her head. “I had broken apart a vase I bought, to see if there was a prize inside — there wasn’t — and then I...

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Chanting “we are not afraid,” thousands of Cubans took to the streets Sunday to demand the end of the communist dictatorship. The COVID crisis has only exacerbated the unrest on the island nation, which is why protesters also called for food and vaccines.

Latest offense follows Free Beacon exposé on socialist congresswoman's illegal parking habits Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) continues to defy Washington, D.C., traffic regulations by illegally parking her Tesla near the Whole Foods in her posh neighborhood. Video obtained by the Washington Free Beacon shows the socialist congresswoman packing her Tesla on Sunday while the luxury sports car was parked in a clearly marked restricted area. Perhaps most disturbingly, Ocasio-Cortez was seen transporting her belongings on a hotel dolly, which some experts have identified as a symbol of white supremacy and income inequality. The video suggests Ocasio-Cortez was not chastened...

As the Cuban crisis unfolds, we are seeing an unprecedented number of protesters. Some of these dissidents could lose their lives for their bravery. A friend of mine from church, Carlos, is from Cuba. Carlos was a political prisoner for 18 months in his home country. His crime? Trying to escape Cuba. Eventually, he did get to escape. I asked him about today’s protests. He said, “62 years later — this is the first time the people arose. It’s not over. At least they’re not afraid to protest any more. At this point they have nothing to lose.” One would...

People on the far left have become so predictable that their statements are no longer "breaking news." They would be hilarious if they weren't outrageous or if they didn't contribute to the undermining of human rights and freedom in other countries. Some on the left speak favorably about the evil twins of communism and socialism One of many examples has resurfaced after last week's uprising in Cuba by thousands who have demanded freedom from dictatorship. Nikole Hannah-Jones, author of the "1619 Project," which seeks to teach history to public school students through the prism of slavery, said in a 2019...

New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and three other House Democrats affiliated with the far-left Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) have so far remained silent while the DSA appears to back Cuba’s communist regime against protesters demanding freedom. Ocasio-Cortez, Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib, New York Rep. Jamaal Bowman, and Missouri Rep. Cori Bush make up the four DSA members in Congress. All four members have yet to speak out about the ongoing protests in Cuba. AOC tried to explain why she only blames the US embargo for what’s happening in Cuba The result was catastrophic! “I think it’s disappointing that Republicans...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., railed Monday against efforts to ban the teaching of critical race theory (CRT) in schools, questioning why Republicans didn't want students to be taught "anti-racism."

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) railed against communists during a speech at Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit on Sunday, noting that people only seem to flee communist-run countries for America, not the other way around. [T]he thing that liberals never seem to understand if you go down to Key West is the rafts are only going in one direction. Just once I want to see some left-wing socialist — I want to see Bernie Sanders, I want to see Elizabeth Warren, I want to see AOC go down to Key West, get on a raft, and sail 90 miles south...

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., the daughter of a Cuban immigrant, ripped her colleague Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. on "Fox News Live" Sunday for partly blaming the long-held U.S. embargo for the unrest in Cuba, where protesters continue to call for an end to the communist regime. REP. NICOLE MALLIOTAKIS: What's cruel is the way that the communist regime treats its people. There are two classes in Cuba; one is the ruling class, run by the communists, and then there is everyone else who live in squalor. They don't have access to food, they don't have access to medicine, they don't...
