Communist Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY) is on a major ego trip in the wake of the unveiling of her radical Green New Deal. The 29-year-old lawmaker popped off at the New York Hall of Science on Friday while speaking on a ‘Girls Who Code’ panel. Ocasio-Cortez sounded like a Socialist dictator (with a Bronx accent) as she reminded the crowd that it’s the radicals who drive the agenda and no one has done what she has in regards to the Green New Deal. Forget the fact that the Green New Deal is completely absurd on the face it. The...

New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has painted a picture of herself as a tough woman from the Bronx but it appears to be a façade. It has been alleged before that she was raised in the affluent Westchester region of New York and was a fraud. She has strongly denied those accusations and insisted she was raised in the Bronx and Westchester. But now that she is a Congresswoman she insists that she resides full time in the Bronx and her brand is built on that premise. That is when she is not living in her luxury apartment in Washington...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez promises “safe, affordable, adequate housing” for everyone. Meanwhile, in the real world, here’s a four minute video of what government housing is actually like.

Think of all the horrible things that TSA employees have gotten away with...

Last Friday, my mentions died for your sins. I posted a screen grab of Riley Roberts’s House Microsoft Outlook card, including his official house.gov email address, office phone number, and his designation as “Staff”. Roberts is the boyfriend of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The Congresswoman was upset. Throwing caution to the wind, she stormed into my mentions, asserting this was just a way to give Mr. Roberts access to her official calendar. Her Chief of Staff, Saikat Chakrabarti, soon followed, reiterating the calendar claim and accusing me of doxxing Mr. Roberts by posting his publicly available LinkedIn profile (which he deleted) and...

<p>She may be America’s most famous freshman congresswoman, but in New York, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a virtual ghost.</p> <p>She has no district office and no local phone number, unlike the state’s three other freshman members.</p> <p>And it’s unclear whether the 29-year-old lawmaker, who represents the Bronx and Queens, actually still lives in the Parkchester neighborhood that has been so closely tied to her rise — even though she won her upset victory over fellow Democrat Rep. Joe Crowley with accusations that his home in Virginia made him too Washington-focused to serve his district.</p>
