Squad member and Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is expected to share her thoughts on American foreign policy with a global audience at the Munich Security Conference this weekend, her office said. The Democrat is expected to speak on two panels at the German conference, her office told NBC News, one about the “rise of populism,” and another about the “future of U.S. foreign policy."

AOC stuck her foot into her mouth, AGAIN! During an interview, AOC made the following statement: “Elon Musk is one of the most unintelligent billionaires I’ve ever met or seen. The wealth doesn’t match the wisdom.” Elon Musk didn’t stay quiet, probably because this was hilarious and she opened up a can of whoop-arse he enjoyed replying to: “Interesting take. I build rockets, electric cars, satellites, and AI… you build tweets and talking points. If this is ‘unintelligent,’ I’ll take it … seems to be working pretty well for my bank account and the laws of physics.” Then Elon delivered...

Lefty firebrand Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) spoke out on her suburban high school yearbook pic — but still continued to dodge her Westchester County upbringing. “I’m proud of how I grew up and talk about it all the time,” AOC said on X Friday. “My mom cleaned houses and I helped. We cleaned tutors’ homes in exchange for SAT prep. “Growing up between the Bronx and Yorktown deeply shaped my views of inequality & it’s a big reason I believe the things I do today!” But the Democratic congresswoman’s “Bronx girl” claims have repeatedly come under fire, with folks in...

NY state assemblyman shares yearbook photo showing Ocasio-Cortez attended suburban high school nearly an hour from the Bronx A New York state lawmaker called out Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., over her upbringing after she referred to herself as a tough "Bronx girl" during an internet spat in which she traded jabs with President Donald Trump.

"If you’re a BX...

Fed-up AOC constituents in Bronx, Queens mock absentee ‘rock star’ who’s never in the district: ‘This woman has done nothing’ Frustration with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has reached a breaking point on her home turf, with fed up Queens and Bronx constituents telling The Post they’re sick and tired of being second fiddle to the jet-setting socialist’s primary focus — herself. Her district offices in the Bronx and Queens offer little to justify the $1.9 million the congresswoman gets to run them — one is only open a single weekday and the other is closed on Fridays, with phones that go...

On December 12, we were contacted by a Catholic League member who sought to have a nativity scene displayed in the lobby of his cooperative building in Larchmont, New York, a town in Westchester. The lobby has a Christmas tree and a menorah. His request was denied. When he was told that the nativity scene was a religious symbol and could not be displayed, he pointed out that the menorah was also a religious symbol. He was told they didn’t see it that way. That same day, I wrote a letter to the Property Manager, sending a copy to the...

AOC isn’t extreme enough for them! Local Democratic Socialists may censure US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for going too soft on Israel — with alleged transgressions including supporting the Jewish State’s “right to exist.” The New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America will consider a resolution at its annual convention Saturday to shame Ocasio-Cortez even though the congresswoman has publicly criticized Israel and isn’t considered a staunch ally of the country. The uber-liberal group’s resolution blasts Ocasio-Cortez for several statements and votes, including supporting House Resolution 888, which “affirmed Israel’s right to exist” and “recognizes that denying Israel’s...

Apparently AOC isn't anti-Israel enough for the two crazy Pallyweid [Pally Weid] demanding she just "says" the G word. AOC has a long record of anti-Israel outbursts and activities.

Emily Hirshowitz, 36, of the Ossining Police Department, was charged at the Westchester District Attorney’s Office on Wednesday with four counts of third-degree falsely reporting an incident, along with three counts of first-degree filing a false instrument.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was “profoundly disrespectful” when disagreeing with fellow Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. Anchor Dana Bash said, “Thomas wrote, ‘Justice Jackson uses her broad observations about statistical relationships between race and select measures of health, wealth, and well-being to label all blacks as victims. Her desire to do so is unfathomable to me. It is an insult to individual achievement and cancerous to young minds seeking to push though barriers. Their race is not to blame for everything good or bad that happens in...
