As AOC Flies Around the Country on Her ‘Fight Oligarchy’ Tour, Residents of Her Imploding District Are Begging Kash Patel for Help

While AOC is flying first class around the country with Bernie Sanders to yell about their hatred for rich people, her district is falling apart. People there are so desperate for help that they’re reaching out to FBI Director Kash Patel.

This has always been AOC’s weakest point. She has been in office for years now and no one could point to something, anything that she has done to help the people she was elected to represent.

It’s the same playbook as Elizabeth Warren. They get elected to a local office and then use it to promote themselves on a national level. The local office is just used as a springboard to their real ambitions.

FOX News reports:

Leaders in AOC’s ‘Red Light’ district call on Kash Patel to crush ‘worsening’ gang crime and prostitution

As Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., privately jets across the nation for her “Fighting Oligarchy” tour, residents in her Queens constituency have been calling on the FBI and the DEA to help them crack down on the illegal sex workers and drug dealers that they say have turned their neighborhood into a festering “gangland.”

Last week, local leaders, including a former Democrat state senator, wrote to FBI Director Kash Patel urging him to unleash agents to quell the raging problem along Roosevelt Avenue – a 2-mile commercial strip which has been likened to both a Third World Country and a Red Light district – where scantily-clad women on sidewalks soliciting sex is commonplace.

They also claim the ruthless 18th Street Gang has taken over illegal operations there, filling the void of other gangs like with Tren de Aragua after a massive police operation saw hundreds of people arrested.

Local leaders say the police actions haven’t helped:

“The NYPD’s Operation Restore Roosevelt did lead to arrests, but our street sources say the gangs replaced their foot soldiers within days,” said the advocates, who include former Democrat state Senator Hiram Monserrate.

“The money never stopped moving, the dance floors stayed open, and the prostitutes came back in full force. This isn’t just a Queens problem, it’s a blueprint for how gangs, cartels, and traffickers can take over a community in plain sight.”

AOC has no interest in doing the actual job she was elected to do. That has been clear since the moment she took office. She has much bigger aspirations and the people of her district are nothing more than a stepping stone.

Catholic hospital drops legal argument that a fetus is not a person

Catholic Health Initiatives-Iowa has dropped its argument in a medical malpractice case that the loss of an unborn child does not equate to the death of a “person” for the purpose of calculating damage awards.

The nonprofit, tax-exempt entity is one of several defendants in a Polk County malpractice case involving the death of an unborn child.

Last month, attorneys for CHI and MercyOne Des Moines Medical Center argued an unborn child should not be considered a “patient” for purposes of calculating damages in the case. They also argued that “finding an unborn child to be a ‘person’ would lead to serious implications in other areas of the law.”

That position appeared to clash with CHI’s mission statement and ethics guidelines, both of which are based on the concept that human life begins at the moment of conception.

In Iowa, court-ordered awards for noneconomic losses stemming from medical malpractice are capped at $250,000, except in cases that entail the “loss or impairment of mind or body.” Initially, CHI and MercyOne argued the cap on damages applied in cases where the “loss” was that of a fetus or an unborn child.

However, during a court hearing on Friday, an attorney for CHI and MercyOne, Christine Conover, informed the court it was withdrawing from the motion to cap damages in the case on that basis.

“We are a Catholic hospital and obviously the Catholic faith believes that life begins at conception,” Conover told Polk County District Judge Scott J. Beattie.

“To be honest, I had wondered about that stance,” Beattie told Conover, referring to the hospital’s previously filed motion seeking to cap damages. “It seemed like kind of an odd stance,” he added, noting that it seemed to contradict the position that CHI had taken in other legal matters.

In a written statement issued Friday, Bob Ritz, president and CEO of MercyOne, stated “we are heartbroken that our belief that human personhood begins at conception would ever be called into question. As a Catholic health system, the sanctity of life is not just a belief we hold; it is the foundation of every action we take.

“While the motion (to limit damages) was accurate from a purely legal standpoint, it has caused confusion and concern. That is why we have asked our counsel to withdraw the motion with respect to MercyOne. No courtroom argument should ever cast doubt on the deeply held Catholic values that guide MercyOne.

At Coachella As In The Real World, Privileged Leftists Pretend To Be Counter-Cultural

In a moment that could have been pulled straight from a sitcom, an 83-year-old Sen. Bernie Sanders stood before a crowd of young festival goers at Coachella last weekend. The aging senator in his traditional suit and tie was greeted by the screams of bedazzled and sweaty Gen Z fans at the California music festival. Hot off the trails of his “Fighting Oligarchy” tour with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, he spoke to the crowd about the importance of justice. Before leaving the stage, he praised the young songwriter Clairo for her activism before introducing her. 

The moment perfectly distilled the spirit of Coachella. What should be a simple, lighthearted celebration of music has devolved into a pandering photo-op for young people. Although the music is the main draw, attendees spend months planning their outfits, booking overpriced hotel rooms, and trying to get access to afterparties and exclusive events. The appreciation for live performance is now a thin glue holding the experience together as opposed to its focal point. 

Since 1999, Coachella has maintained a status as one of the trendiest events, a Southern California staple whose prevalence has only grown. In the 2010s, as social media took over the hearts and minds of new generations, Coachella’s marketability skyrocketed. It was no longer the hip escapade for the nepotism babies of Beverly Hills; it took on a second life as a can’t-miss affair for anyone with an iPhone.

Influencers rapidly changed Coachella’s reputation. It lost its exclusivity as eager young folks travelled across the country to be in attendance, taking photos beside the iconic Ferris wheel and staying in affluent hotel rooms and Palm Springs Airbnbs. Social media also made clothing a centerpiece, with young girls expected to flaunt racy, suggestive outfits. Salaciousness became the standard, and the youth audience reveled in its prematurely adult style. The atmosphere surrounding Coachella became lewd, with sexual promiscuity not only encountered but consistently promoted.

OF COURSE: Bernie Sanders Has Spent More Than $200K Flying on Private Jets for His ‘Fight the Oligarchy’ Tour

The Gateway Pundit recently noted that ‘woman of the people’ AOC flew first class to the Bernie Sanders ‘Fight the Oligarchy’ event in Las Vegas.

Now it has been revealed that Bernie Sanders has spent more than $200,000 flying to the same events on private jets.

It’s starting to look like these people are hypocrites who don’t believe their own claims about climate change, or the ‘oligarchy’ for that matter. They deny themselves nothing and live the high life while decrying the same.

The Washington Free Beacon reported:

Bernie Sanders Spent $221K on Private Jets Amid ‘Fighting Oligarchy’ Tour

Sen. Bernie Sanders has crisscrossed the country on his nationwide Fighting Oligarchy Tour to rail against billionaires and supposed “oligarchs” like Elon Musk—while traveling like an oligarch himself.

Campaign expenditures released Tuesday and reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon show Sanders’s main campaign committee, Friends of Bernie Sanders, spent $221,723 chartering private jets during the first quarter of 2025, with the first payment coming just days before the launch of his tour in February.

“We will not accept a rigged economy where working people struggle while billionaires become richer,” Sanders said during the tour’s latest event in California on Tuesday. “We have got to create an economy that works for working people, not just Mr. Musk and the billionaire class.” But Sanders has had no issue splurging on private jets far beyond the means of working people, even as he has ramped up his attacks on the rich.

How do so many people on the left fall for this act?

The Socialist Autocrat of Spain, Pedro Sánchez, Targets Foreign Property Buyers with a 100% Tax While Daring to Criticize Trump’s Tariffs.

Spain’s Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez — the most corrupt and autocratic socialist in recent history leading a far-left coalition — has announced a stunning policy: a 
100% tax on real estate purchases by non-EU foreigners.

Recently unveiled, this measure threatens to destabilize Spain’s housing market, scare off investors, and allegedly prioritize housing for locals — all at the expense of economic growth. Yet Sánchez dares to call President Donald Trump’s tariffs “unfair,” revealing a level of hypocrisy that no longer surprises anyone.

Comrade Sánchez presents this tax as a solution to Spain’s housing crisis. He cites data showing that in 2023, non-EU buyers — Americans, Brits, and others — purchased 27,000 properties, often as investments rather than primary residences.

Bernie Sanders Has Been Saying US Is “Rapidly Moving Towards Oligarchy” SINCE 1993

Bernie Sanders, who is currently on a tour with AOC to “fight Oligarcy” has been parroting the same tired mantra for over three decades, claiming that the US is “rapidly moving toward an Oligarchy.”

Does anyone need any more evidence that this guy is talking out of his rear end than this?

Presumably Bernie still needs you to send him money to ‘fight’ this never ending rapid descent into Oligarchy.

It’s been so rapid that Bernie could barely buy three mansions for himself in the time that the country has moved toward it.

Revealed: NY Attorney General Letitia James Declares Virginia Home Her ‘Principal Residence’

Letitia James, New York’s Attorney General, has built her career on exposing deception. But a quiet real estate transaction in Norfolk, Virginia—carried out just weeks before the Trump fraud trial she championed—now raises serious questions about her own compliance with New York law.

A declaration buried in legal filings states her intent to make a Virginia house her principal residence:

“I HEREBY DECLARE that I intend to occupy this property as my principal residence.”

Those words appear in black and white in a Specific Power of Attorney, signed by James and filed in Norfolk on August 17, 2023, authorizing her relative Shamice Thompson-Hairston to act on her behalf in a transaction that included the declaration. They were not written by a lawyer acting on James’ behalf. They were her words. Her intent. Her signature.

This signed power of attorney is a smoking gun on its own, completely separate from how the mortgage might be interpreted. It stands as a clear declaration of intent from a sitting New York Attorney General to establish principal residency in another state.

While joint ownership arrangements sometimes involve owners with different primary residences, this case is different. The declaration in the power of attorney specifically states James’s intention to make the property her principal residence, and the mortgage requires both borrowers to establish residency. This raises questions about whether such a declaration was made primarily to secure preferential mortgage terms.

Importantly, this is not an isolated incident—discrepancies in James’s mortgage filings appear to follow a longer-term pattern, raising broader questions about disclosure consistency.

If James never intended to make the Norfolk property her principal residence despite signing a document explicitly stating that intention, the declaration may constitute misrepresentation under federal fraud statutes. This would be particularly problematic for someone who has prosecuted others for similar misrepresentations in property matters.

And this declaration came at a remarkable moment. Because on October 2—less than seven weeks later—James would take to the courtroom steps in Manhattan to announce the start of her landmark civil fraud case against Donald Trump. The trial would span months and dominate headlines. James would be in New York nearly every day.

‘I’m not a maniac’: Senator blocks hundreds of Trump nominees using tactic he once called ‘abuse of power’

Democratic Hawaii Sen. Brian Schatz is blocking more than 300 of President Donald Trump’s nominees from swift confirmation votes despite previously criticizing efforts to stall nominations during the Biden administration.

Schatz’s blockade on hundreds of Trump nominees and at least nine bipartisan foreign relations bills comes as Senate Democrats are escalating opposition tactics against the Trump administration to appease their left-wing base. Schatz, a member of Senate Democratic leadership, previously criticized Republican Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s decision to place holds on military officials’ promotions as “obstruction” and “antithetical” to the Senate’s “advice and consent” responsibilities.

Schatz expanded his holds on Trump nominees to include individuals tapped to serve across 12 agencies, such as former New York Republican Rep. Anthony D’Esposito whom Trump appointed to a Department of Labor position, Axios reported.

REPORT: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Flew FIRST CLASS to the Bernie Sanders ‘Fighting Oligarchy’ Event in Las Vegas

Far left New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been speaking publicly with Bernie Sanders on a ‘Fighting Oligarchy’ tour but she is doing it in luxury, of course.

When AOC traveled to Las Vegas for one of these events in March, she was spotted flying first class. Nothing but the best, right?

Doesn’t this conflict with AOC’s professed beliefs about climate change? Isn’t a first class seat much worse than a coach seat, according to the true believers? AOC used to have a Tesla. Why didn’t she drive her electric car to the event?

Obama Bashes Trump Saying ‘What if I had Done Any of This?’ – Gets Major Reminders From Twitter/X Users

Former President Obama made an appearance at Hamilton College this week and tried to take some cheap shots at the Trump administration.

He was clearly trying to echo the talking points currently being pushed by his party and the media.

For some reason, Obama thinks no one remembers anything about his presidency.

From NBC News:

Former President Barack Obama said he is “deeply concerned” with some of the actions that President Donald Trump and his administration have taken and seemed to call out the Republican Party for not pushing back on them…

Obama said he’s more troubled by a White House that takes aim at law firms that represent ideas or parties that its occupants disagree with, and that the administration has punished media outlets. Trump has signed executive orders penalizing major law firms and lawyers, prompting outrage within the legal community. The White House has also barred The Associated Press from coverage over its refusal to refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America.

“That kind of behavior is contrary to the basic compact we have as Americans,” he said.

Obama suggested that Republicans would be outraged if he had done similar things as president.

“Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials from the White House press corps,” he said, adding, “It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me or a whole bunch of my predecessors.”
