I think she believes every word she speaks to be the absolute truth and wonders why others disagree with her.

I have to ask myself where her family members are. I’ve never seen one or any friends speak for her ...Do they all know she’s loonier than a loon and keep their distance? I’ve said before that probably any one of us would be able to shake the trees and come up with SOMEONE who knew us WHEN. Same is true of Hillary and obozo - nobody ever comes forward to claim a former friendship or relationship with either.

military spending since WW1 was still less than the $21T...

And total defense spending during the period audited was about 1/2 the $21T figure. So basically, every single $ going into the defense would be "missing", and then counted as "missing" again when paid out. More likely, the report isn't worth the paper it's written on.

If a hungry cannibal cracked open Ocasio-Cortez’s head there wouldn’t be enough inside to cover a small oyster cracker...

Very good point about the family and friends … and we could add college professors and classmates. Isn’t it interesting how the news media can’t be bothered to look into her background and associations.

She is too young for all that to be lost in the fog of time. I can only assume many are embarrassed, and want to distance themselves. She probably is keeping her family under wraps lest they blow her fake proletarian cover.

That may be the case, TO US. But when you see the way that even TRUMP SUPPORTERS immediately bought into it, one realizes that the report was BRILLIANT, in the sense that the Democrat-controlled House will use it to try to destroy the military.

They are going to have to come up with a whole new group of Pinocchios to handle the stupidity of Ocasio.

No doubt Cortez’s head lives where the buses don’t run.......she’s the likes of twisted nightmares as are those who voted for her.

Demorats are pretty clear they’re all about putting up minority and other culture representatives now and in the future. Thus changing ‘the face’ of governing bodies to appeal to all the future immigrants they’ll be bringing in if they’re ever in full power again.

The Pentagon keeps better track of their money unlike most other government agencies (Department of Education *cough*, *cough*)

The Post is going to need more than just four Pinnocios for this girl.
