She’s the tippy tops

Featured image When it comes to the state of the art on the left, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is (to borrow an expression) the tippy tops. She is an idiot’s idiot with a little girl voice that gives expressive form to her thoughts and dreams. If only she were given absolute power, she could produce the kind of rapid change (to borrow another expression) that has reduced Venezuela to poverty and starvation. 60 Minutes »

Ocasio-Cortez Watch

Featured image I’m with the sober voices who say we shouldn’t overdo the piling on of Her Highness, the Countess Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and while there are a lot of great memes mocking her, I think we’re better off reserving our fire for actual stupid things she says rather than making them up.

Ocasio-Cortez: A New Depth of Stupidity?

Featured image Newly-elected Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the gift to conservatives that keeps on giving.

Peas In a Pod

Featured image Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar are two peas in a pod: unqualified, ill-informed, bigoted, far-left candidates whose principal appeal lies in being attractive young women.

She’s a modern day hero, champion for working families, & running for Congress in Minnesota. Her election is »

Worst Mismatch Since Tyson-Savarese

Featured image Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Will we ever tire of her? Probably, but as someone once said, that day is not this day. Ben Shapiro challenged Cortez to a debate and offered to donate $10,000 to a charity of Cortez’s choice as an incentive. It is a delightful thought–Shapiro dismantling the dim-witted Cortez, piece by piece. Cortez, of course, was having none of it. She begged off with a pitiful response: Just like »
