That’s rich. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s re-election campaign has spent big bucks on posh hotels — shelling out nearly $50,000 on upscale stays in the past seven months — as the democratic socialist darling rallies against the wealthy, The Post has learned. The New York Democrat’s campaign forked over $47,000 on 45 hotel charges across the country since April, including a $5,044 bill at The Memphian — a bougie boutique hotel in Memphis, with spa services and an extravagant, animal-themed rooftop bar, filings show. The campaign also racked up bills for $1,599 and $2,694 bill at the 4-star The Candler Hotel...

U2 front man Bono is attacking Christians and Jews who have supported Elon Musk and President Donald Trump’s efforts to cut wasteful and fraudulent government spending with the efforts of Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The “With or Without You” singer insisted that you can’t be a real Christian or Jew if you support the spending cuts to government programs such as USAID and other programs that lavished billions of U.S. tax dollars on foreign nations. He made his latest comments on the New York Times sponsored The Interview podcast. “What Christian household, what Catholic household, what Jewish, religious...

If you thought the political games around the midterms couldn’t get any more disturbing, buckle up, we’ve got a doozy for you. There’s a new bombshell report from DataRepublican, the researcher who made big waves during the DOGE investigations. And if what she’s uncovering turns out to be true, we’re looking at something a helluva lot scarier than the usual political dirty tricks from our communist enemies on the left. DataRepublican says she’s got her hands on thousands of transcripts and hundreds of recordings that point to an elaborate, coordinated effort to provoke a constitutional crisis right after the 2026...

Donald Trump faced embarrassment after a live TV broadcast revealed the sparse attendance at his recent rally despite his boasts that it was sold out. The 80-year-old president traveled to San Antonio, Texas, on Wednesday night, continuing his nationwide campaign tour before November's midterm elections. The fake news will take a picture of two empty seats, and they'll say, 'Trump did not fill up.' Who the hell fills up an arena like this for a midterm?"

The deranged ex-CUNY professor who once held a machete to a Post reporter’s neck is now running a “speakeasy tattoo parlor” where she inks communist-inspired body art on her radical customers. Shellyne Rodriguez, 46, who was fired from Hunter College in 2023 shortly after being filmed menacing Post reporter Reuven Fenton with a machete and threatening to “chop him up,” has found a new calling as a tattoo artist. The Instagram for the business, called Comrade Comadre, bills it as a “speakeasy tattoo parlor and community library.” The account is filled with images of radical tattoo designs — including Soviet-inspired...

Raymond Eugene Chandler III has been charged with Influencing, Impeding or Retaliating against a Federal Official by Threatening a Family Member and Influencing, Impeding or Retaliating against a Federal Official by Threat, according to an unsealed affidavit from May 1. One voicemail message Chandler allegedly sent to the unnamed member of Congress graphically depicts a scenario Chandler hoped the congressman would imagine where wealth protestors have surrounded his home before "they slit your throat and they slit your daughter’s throat and they slit everyone’s throat." Authorities say that Chandler left a second message to the congressman, saying: "You've probably getting...

A group of Cuban doctors claim they were effectively sold into slavery by their country’s regime and are asking for $129 million in damages in a lawsuit. The legal filing says 3,500 doctors were sent to Brazil between 2013 and 2018 and claims the Cuban regime earned more than $2.3 billion for their services but paid them “a small fraction” — less than 10 percent — of their earnings. The doctors, now living in the US, claim that when dispatched abroad they were never informed 90 percent of their wages would go to the Cuban government. They also say that...

"On Friday’s broadcast of Bloomberg’s “Balance of Power,” Rep. Gwen Moore (D-WI) argued that “democratic socialists are people who believe in a market economy, they believe in capitalism, but they believe in regulations as well.” And “we’re not going to be bullied by their characterization of maintaining a safety net for Americans and calling it Communism, no.”Moore said, “Republicans are very disappointed that David Crowley won that election, because they had planned their entire campaign around characterizing Francesca Hong as a Communist, as a democratic — as a socialist and really conjuring up fear among people who have come to...

Naomi is a 24 year old, lives on Manhattan's Upper East Side and earns six figures working two retail jobs. Her boyfriend, meanwhile, spent much of his time at her apartment lying in bed and scrolling through Instagram Reels. Naomi helped him fix his résumé, pushed him to apply for jobs and, while he figured out his next move, picked up the tab for nearly everything. But the money was only part of what bothered her. Naomi told The Cut that his lack of income seemed to double as an excuse to put little effort into the relationship, too. Romance,...

Interesting. Almost no news is coming out of the Tyler Robinson trial for the killing of Charlie Kirl. The bias of he media is sooooooooooo obvious. Imagine if someone (would have to be an obvious lunatic - a trans will do) were to murder a Communist, Woke, Leftist, Muslim, Traitorous figurehead (pick one, just not a trans), there would be wall-to-wall 24/7 coverage with initiation of an exta hour per day to 25 demand by the Expand the Supreme Court activists coverage of the trial. The person would suddenly become a card-carrying MAGA operative, far-right Crusades member time traveler to...

Barack Obama’s presidential library opened a few weeks ago with a star-studded celebration, and ongoing criticisms about its Star Wars-prison appearance and failure to pay contractors who worked on the monolith project. Now one subcontractor has shut down operations because the project manager has refused to pay for work that was done on the project. A report at Fox News outlines how Mike Owen, owner of Adamson Plumbing Contractors, confirmed his company was on the verge of collapse because of payments that were due, but never were made. “Laying off close to 30 people is something that no owner in...

A resurfaced video of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s (D) Islamist accountability partner sparked condemnation and further proved Hizzoner to be a “Trojan Horse” for extremists in America.

Longtime CNN political commentator and Democrat Van Jones rebuked far-left activists Saturday, warning that their positions on Hamas, prisons and immigration are regressive and threatened to steer the Democratic Party in the wrong direction as socialist-backed candidates celebrated recent primary victories. "Yes, we want our Democratic Party to be a big tent. But we don’t need 'party poopers. So STOP pooping in the punch bowl — and telling us the turds are ice cubes," Jones said on X, in reference to his Substack post. Jones accused some Democratic Socialist of America (DSA) activists of promoting positions involving Hamas, policing, prisons...

New York City dished out welfare checks to nearly 865,000 people over the past year — a historic handout that has sent public assistance spending skyrocketing to a record-breaking $2.7 billion, The Post can reveal. The city’s Department of Social Services served a staggering 864,999 welfare recipients for the 12-month period ending May 30, a whopping 55.7% increase since 2022 and totals the Big Apple hasn’t seen in roughly 30 years, an examination of agency records found.

A poll of 1022 American Jews conducted by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is viewed more favorably than either Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or US President Donald Trump. The percentages of favorable to unfavorable were Mamdani 44% to 39%, Netanyahu 32% to 59%, and Trump 29% to 70%. A Brooklyn poll respondent explained "I voted for Mamdani because he is a socialist. This means he will be giving the people many free goods and services that the other two guys would never do. So, he is a better...

Ah, there’s the question. And the simplest, straightest answer is the most obvious. Since everything in life is the outcome of choices for individuals’ great nations, for average nations, and for falling nations, the answer is always yes, based on the choices her people make. But we must keep in mind that making no choice at all turns out to be a choice, considering the recent outcome in New York City and in the state of Maine. It’d be great if we could laugh when we see that the people in New York City, who were too lazy to get...

Like many Democrats, I patiently wait for the party to find ways to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. The upcoming 2026 midterms have instilled the same amount of dread in me as in previous elections. It seems that the Democrats love to hate President Trump, but they don't seem to offer any practical solutions on how they would do things better. It has been beaten to death that the rise of so-called democratic socialists is a result of Democrats' impotence. I don't have to remind you that the constant failures of Democrats in Washington has led to voters...

Khanna’s ultra-wealthy family depends on the same kind of secretive financial accounting and unearned wealth that he criticizes on the stump Rep. Ro Khanna (D., Calif.) has emerged as a potential contender for the Democratic presidential nomination while denouncing the ultra-rich who "hoard wealth and engage in financial speculation." But the progressive, Silicon Valley congressman and his family live a life of staggering luxury, fueled by dynastic wealth they did not earn and protected by the same thicket of trusts, anonymous corporations, and foundations that Khanna condemns. Khanna lives in a $6 million, 8,000-square-foot luxury home with a four-story elevator...

California's Next Attorney General Issues Warning to Donald Trump Cheryl Miller, The Recorder December 1, 2016 Just hours after Gov. Jerry Brown nominated Xavier Becerra to be California's next attorney general, the longtime U.S. lawmaker warned the Trump administration to expect a fight if newly emboldened Republicans challenge the Golden State's liberal laws and policies. "If you want to take on a forward-leaning state that is prepared to defend its rights and interests, come at us," Becerra, a 12-term Democratic congressman from Los Angeles, told reporters
