The left has tried every trick in their “global warming” bible to convince the majority of Americans that climate change is not only real, but it’s also urgent. Or, as Special Presidential Envoy for Climate [ROFL emoji] John Kerry and other “climate change” loons love to say, with great drama: the existential threat of mankind.Considering that “existential” refers to existence (hence, the very existence or extinction of mankind), climate change loons like world-renowned climatologist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — who has literally said, “The world is going to end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change” — continue to...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is taking heat from her own on the left for “doing performative resistance art for the cameras” and “not doing healthcare.” That’s a reference to last week when AOC was caught pretending the be handcuffed during her pr-baby killing protest outside the Supreme Court. Apparently, pretending to be handcuffed for the cameras to burnish her outlaw legend is something AOC has all kinds of time for. A meeting about health care in the middle of two pandemics? : “A couple of the most highly respected health policy academics recently set up a meeting with AOC’s office to...

Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and the 15 other Democratic lawmakers who were arrested Tuesday outside the Supreme Court coordinated the stunt with a progressive dark money group funded by billionaire George Soros. Getting arrested was the whole point of the stunt, Ocasio-Cortez said in an Instagram post on Tuesday. She said organizers of the Center for Popular Democracy Action Fund asked her and her colleagues to "submit themselves for arrest in front of the Supreme Court." The New York lawmaker insisted in the post what she and her colleagues did was "very different than a 'publicity stunt.'"...

AOC kept up the charade of being restrained for a few steps before raising her fist to supporters watching from the sidewalk.

A politician who makes more money than a little over 80 percent of Americans is singing the blues about how tough life has become. The comments came on the Instagram account of Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, who makes $174,000 a year as a member of Congress, along with the perks of office. “It’s insanely expensive, there is no stipend or per diem for it, and you’re not allowed to write it off even though your job forces you to have it,” she said, according to BizPac Review. “This creates real class dynamics in the House. Many sleep...

Bill Maher blasted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her progressive ilk for losing the debate on abortion thanks to the use of woke slang including 'pregnant people.' Speaking on his show Real Time with Bill Maher Friday - hours after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade - Maher told viewers that abortion is a 'difficult issue for the Democrats to lose on, but they're trying. He also warned that the party could no longer blithely count on traditional support from minority groups, warning that Latin-Americans' voting-preference was just as 'fluid' as AOC claims gender is. 'For decades, liberals have said,...

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that the Supreme Court justices who lied about Roe v. Wade as the court case that set the precedent they would respect during their Senate confirmation should be impeached.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Saturday slammed Congress for being corrupt and full of “so much decay and moral emptiness” after failing to pass radical policies to fundamentally alter the nation. “It’s just really wild to be a person that works in a corrupt institution, which is what Congress is,” Ocasio-Cortez stated after Congress failed to pass socialistic policies last year. “And to try and be a normal person surrounded by so much decay and moral emptiness — that frankly transcends party — is very difficult,” Ocasio-Cortez said, clearly referring to both the Republican and Democrat Parties.

"One of the things that first started awakening and connecting me in a deep to my indigenous heritage was connecting to the Lakota Sioux at Standing Rock," Ocasio-Cortez says in the video.

As many as three Hillary Clinton donors — including one who also supported US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — are among the prospective jurors for former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann’s trial. Special counsel John Durham’s team objected to putting one Clinton contributor on the panel after the man said he would “strive for impartiality as best I can.” But the prosecution was overruled by Washington, DC, federal Judge Christopher Cooper, who said the man — who works in public policy for Amazon and appeared to be in his 40s — “expressed a high degree of confidence” that he could be...

And just like that… Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) returned to Twitter Tuesday after claiming she was done with the social media giant. The “Squad” member ended her brief Twitter hiatus — which she said she was taking due to “negativity” on the platform — only to target West Virginia Sen.

@RepThomasMassie I see a lot of people saying this is illegal (RE: AOC helping illegal immigrants get stimulus checks). If it were illegal, she wouldn’t be bragging about it. This is what I opposed, when no other Republican representative would stand up in 2020. Then I tried to show that these checks were going to non-citizens and people doubted me.

Armed with a smartphone and a Twitter account, every day she makes national news by prating pure blather and blatant baloney, the latest drivel popping into her head. The media reports on her wherever she is, dutifully bannering her words front and center. In Texas, campaigning for a Democrat House candidate, she muses about turning blue a state that she does not understand, where Hispanics from Mexico, Guatemala, and other locations have been flocking to the GOP in major shifting voting patterns unlike her Puerto Rican base in the Bronx and Queens. Heckled during one campaign stop, she responds with...

U.S. Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said President Joe Biden's State of the Union address 'left a little to be desired' for Democrats because he did not push issues like renewable energy, student loan debt, education or immigration. The New York Democrat said Biden's speech on Tuesday, where he focused on COVID recovery and the conflict in the Ukraine, failed to capitalize on moving away from Russian oil by committing to green energy. 'I think it was a lost opportunity,' Ocasio-Cortez, 32, told MSNBC. 'There is profound bipartisan support to a long-term shift away from fossil fuels.' She added that Biden had...
