WTH?! AOC Goes On Unhinged Screaming Rant at Mamdani Rally

Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez went on an unhinged rant during a rally for Communist Muslim NYC Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani.

Mamdani, a Communist Muslim born in Uganda, is running against former Governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa.

Zohran Mamdani is a far-left radical who openly admits he will raise property taxes based on skin color – specifically, white people.

Top Democrats such as Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and New York Governor Hochul have endorsed Mamdani.

AOC and Senator Bernie Sanders, two of the most unhinged and far-left lawmakers, joined Mamdani in Queens on Sunday evening.

The theme of Mamdani’s rally, “New York is Not For Sale,” reflected his pledge to challenge the billionaires and oligarchs funding his political opponents.

The crowd chanted, “Tax the Rich!” and booed New York Governor Kathy Hochul.

She nodded in agreement and shouted, “I hear you!”

AOC took the stage and busted out a few new accents as she screamed into the microphone on Sunday evening.

AOC’s meltdown was reminiscent of Howard Dean’s “Dean Scream Speech” that ended his career during the 2004 Iowa caucuses.

“This city was built by the Irish escaping famine, Italians fleeing fascism, Jews escaping the Holocaust…” AOC shouted.

AOC continued, “Black Americans fleeing slavery and Jim Crow. Latinos seeking a better life! Native Peoples standing for themselves! Asian-Americans coming together in Queens! In Brooklyn! In the Bronx! In Manhattan! In Staten Island! In this country, in a vision to build the freest, toughest, and greatest city on earth!”

Surprise! Half of Communist Zohran Mamdani’s Campaign Donations Come from Outside New York City

Zohran Mamdani, the Democrat Socialist frontrunner in New York City’s mayoral race, has built his campaign around promises of rent freezes, free bus service, and a city-run grocery system. 

But while his platform is marketed as a local, working-class agenda, new filings reveal that a majority of his campaign money is coming from far beyond the five boroughs.

According to the latest campaign-finance records, Mamdani raised about $1.05 million in just five weeks.

Of that total, more than $532,000—or 53%—came from donors outside New York City. 

This means nearly half of the funding fueling his campaign is coming from individuals who will never vote in the mayoral election.

That figure is unprecedented in a city where campaigns are traditionally funded by residents directly affected by local policies. 

In fact, an analysis by City Limits found that Mamdani has taken in more out-of-state contributions than his two main rivals combined. 

His donor base stretches nationwide, pulling in checks from activists and progressive organizations across the country who see Mamdani as a national figure rather than a local candidate.

For Mamdani’s supporters, the outside contributions prove the strength of his grassroots network. 

His campaign points out that the average donation size remains relatively small, suggesting he has tapped into the same progressive donor pipeline that powered Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. 

They argue this fundraising model frees him from dependence on Wall Street or real estate donors that dominate city politics.

Ex-Tennessee Rep. Robin Smith Sentenced to 8 Months in Prison in Corruption Case Plea Deal

A former state lawmaker whose testimony under a plea deal about a taxpayer-funded mail business scheme helped prosecutors land the conviction of a former Tennessee House speaker has been sentenced to eight months in prison.

Former state Rep. Robin Smith, a Republican who had pleaded guilty to one count of honest services wire fraud more than 3 1/2 years ago, said during her sentencing hearing that she had “failed the trust of the public,” the Chattanooga Times Free Press reported.

“My mom and dad raised me to be much better than this,” Smith, 62, said Friday in Nashville federal court before U.S. District Judge Eli Richardson. “I ask for the forgiveness of the public.”

Smith must report to prison by Jan. 5.

As part of her March 2022 plea, Smith agreed to the “full, complete and truthful” cooperation with the federal government, the newspaper said. She testified earlier this year at the public corruption trial of former Speaker Rep. Glen Casada and his onetime chief of staff, Cade Cothren.

A jury in May found Casada guilty of 17 of 19 charges while Cothren was found guilty of all 19 counts against him. In September, Richardson acquitted Casada and Cothren of three of those counts each but let stand 14 for Casada and 16 for Cothren.

Minnesota Corruption Runs Rampant

It would be easy for me to attribute my growing cynicism to my growing older. 

After all, most people tend to get nostalgic for the “better times” of yesteryear. I was born in the mid-60s, and by the mid-1970s, it was the 50s that were being fondly remembered in shows like “Happy Days.”

Upon reflection, though, my cynicism doesn’t stem from nostalgia. Having grown up in the 1970s, I tend to think of my teen years are full of suckage. 

No, my growing cynicism has been fully earned by the institutions I no longer trust. 

By now, you may have read about the massive corruption in Minnesota’s state government, which is no doubt duplicated throughout the country in Deep Blue states. It is much worse than it was when I first noticed that the non-profit industrial complex was a total scam, as every urban planning and rail project turns out to be.

Japan Will Play A Much Greater Role In Advancing The American Agenda In Asia

Putin’s senior aide Nikolai Patrushev gave an interview to Arguments and Facts about Japan on the 80th anniversary of its unilateral surrender in World War II in early September that’s important to raise wider awareness of after the appointment of its new ultra-nationalist prime minister. He began by reminding everyone that “Tokyo zealously cultivated an open racism that surpassed German Nazism in its absurdity and inhumanity. And the sovereignty of other countries was considered an empty phrase there.”

Patrushev then touched upon Imperial Japan’s failed geopolitical plot to turn the Sea of Japan into an inland sea and even seize Kamchatka so as “to gain undivided possession of the Sea of Okhotsk” too. He assessed that Japan’s current campaign for “’justice’ on the issue of the so-called ‘northern territories’” is just a disguise for a similar plot to obtain control over new marine (seafood and mineral) resources. Patrushev accordingly warned that it’s planning to make new claims to Russian maritime territory.

The emerging trend of misportraying Imperial Japan as the “victim” of Soviet aggression in 1945, despite the Allies having agreed in advance that the USSR would open up the Manchurian Front three months after the Nazis’ defeat, is meant to lend false legitimacy to these claims. This threat shouldn’t be downplayed, Patrushev warned, since Japan’s “Self-Defense Forces” de facto function as national armed forces, are NATO-backed, and are “systematically building a powerful and ultra-modern submarine fleet”.

In his words, “Japan is one of the most powerful naval powers in the world today. Its fleet is capable of solving almost any task even in remote areas of the World Ocean. The Japanese Navy closely cooperates with the NATO fleet, and at any moment they can be integrated into Western coalition formats.” Even more concerning are Japan’s nuclear breakthrough capabilities: “it is capable of creating its own nuclear arsenal and means of delivery in a few years” if the decision is made, according to Patrushev.

Nevertheless, these threats shouldn’t be exaggerated either since Russia is “building up defensive potential in the Far East and strengthening our naval power in the Pacific Ocean”, thus meaning that it’s more than capable of defending itself from Japan. Rather, “The threat lies not so much in the destroyers and missiles, but in the fact that the national consciousness of the Japanese is shifting from pacifism to rabid revanchism”, which he attributed to a long-running “aggressive propaganda” campaign.

The purpose is to precondition the population to accept the risks associated with Japan more actively advancing US interests in the region via the “Squad” (those two, Australia, and the Philippines), which is envisaged as the core of AUKUS+, the US’ desired NATO-like regional analogue. Japan’s place in the US’ Chinese Containment Coalition just rose as a result of the unexpected Sino-Indo rapprochement, prior to which the US wanted India to play a complementary role, so Japan is now at the forefront of this effort.

Randy Fine’s ‘Disqualifying Dual Loyalty Act’ Bans Foreign Citizens from Serving in Congress

Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) believes elected officials should be America First, and he has a new bill putting his money where his mouth is.

The freshman Congressman introduced the Disqualifying Dual Loyalty Act of 2025 on Friday to prohibit the election of any person holding foreign citizenship, Breitbart News learned ahead of the bill’s filing.

The short, straightforward bill states simply that “no person, without regard to whether that person is a United States national, may be elected to the office of Representative or Senator if that person is a national of any country other than the United States.”

“I think it’s a fair argument to make that you can only swear allegiance to one country and if you’re in Congress, that allegiance should be to America,” Fine told Breitbart News.

Fine’s legislation would not only apply to future candidates but would also require any current member of Congress holding dual citizenship to renounce foreign citizenship if seeking reelection.

“People who may have dual citizenship can choose to give it up,” he said. “It’s not that if you’ve ever been a dual citizen” you are prohibited from ever serving, “it’s just as you can’t be one moving forward.”

Fine said he did not look to target any particular member of Congress – “I don’t think anybody knows” how many dual citizens serve in Congress, he said – but wants to push back against antisemitic accusations that pro-Israel, especially Jewish, politicians possess dual loyalties.

Democrat Establishment Finally Rallies Behind Communist Zohran Mamdani — House Leader Hakeem Jeffries Gives Full Endorsement

For anyone saying that the Democratic Party does not have strong links to communism, the proof is now in the pudding.

On Friday afternoon, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries officially endorsed Zohran Mamdani, a proud Muslim communist who is likely to win the New York City mayoral race.

Jeffries, who had held off on endorsing Mamdani since his victory against Andrew Cuomo in May’s Democratic primary, said that although the two men had “areas of principled disagreement,” he was still offering his endorsement to the entire Democratic ticket.

“Zohran Mamdani has relentlessly focused on addressing the affordability crisis and explicitly committed to being a mayor for all New Yorkers, including those who do not support his candidacy,” Jeffries said in a statement to The New York Times.

“In that spirit, I support him and the entire citywide Democratic ticket in the general election,” he continued.

The endorsement comes several weeks after New York’s Democratic governor, Kathy Hochul, also confirmed she would be supporting his candidacy.

In a statement at the time, Hochul said that Mamdani was “focused on making New York City affordable, a goal I enthusiastically support.”

“In the past few months, I’ve had frank conversations with him,” she said at the time. “We’ve had our disagreements.”

“But in our conversations, I heard a leader who shares my commitment to a New York where children can grow up safe in their neighborhoods and where opportunity is within reach for every family.”

DEI Government: Hunter Biden Admits His Dad Picked Kamala as VP Because She is Black

Hunter Biden has confirmed what many conservatives have long suspected about identity politics in the Democratic Party, admitting that his father only chose Kamala Harris as his vice president because she is black.

According to Hunter, his father, Joe Biden, selected Kamala Harris as his vice presidential running mate in 2020 out of “loyalty” to African American women, whom he described as the “most powerful force within the Democratic Party.”

This admission comes amid Hunter’s criticism of Harris’ new memoir, 107 Days, which chronicles her brief 2024 presidential campaign.

The book includes pointed criticisms of Biden, such as calling his re-election bid “recklessness” and recounting a tense pre-debate call where Biden allegedly made it “all about himself.”

The comments about Joe Biden’s decision to pick her were made during a three-hour interview on Hunter Biden’s Substack platform with journalist Tommy Christopher.

Hunter admitted he hadn’t fully read the book but found Harris’ attempts to separate herself from his father “personally painful” and accused her of taking the “easy path” for political expediency.

“I love what she represented, and I love the fact that my dad made the decision,” Hunter Biden said, according to a report from the New York Post.

“Let me tell you about loyalty,” Hunter continued. “The reason that he picked Kamala Harris is because of the fact that he believes, and I certainly believe, the most powerful force within the Democratic Party is and always has been the African American women.”

The Post report adds:

In early 2020, just after his once-struggling campaign began making a comeback, Joe had committed to making history by tapping a woman as his vice president. He only limited his selection process by gender, not by race.

Hunter called African American women the “heart and soul and the conscience of the Democratic party.”

“He chose her out of loyalty,” Hunter said. “I guess I don’t understand why someone would choose the expedient path as it relates to that relationship, their own political expediency.”

Joe Manchin Exposes Biden’s Thug Tactics — Says Biden Orchestrated Death Threats and Paid Protestors After He Refused to Back ‘Build Back Better’ Spending Boondoggle”

In his explosive 2025 memoir Dead Center: In Defense of Common Sense, former West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin exposes shocking details about the Biden administration’s relentless campaign to strong-arm him into supporting the multi-trillion-dollar “Build Back Better Act.”

Manchin reveals that President Biden and his inner circle waged an aggressive behind-the-scenes pressure campaign, one that left him fearing for his safety and the safety of his family.

According to Manchin, his refusal to back the bill, which he viewed as a far-left wishlist crafted by Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, made him Public Enemy No. 1 in the eyes of the White House and progressive activists.

During a private Oval Office meeting, Biden allegedly grabbed Manchin’s arm and pleaded, “Joe, the country needs you.” Manchin responded: “Mr. President, the country needs you too,” according to ABC News.

When Manchin went public on Fox News to announce he would not support the Build Back Better bill, the response from the White House was swift and angry.

Manchin says he received a “hostile” voicemail from Biden, followed by a heated phone call in which the President was “irate.”

“I told him I was frustrated with the White House’s outreach,” Manchin writes, adding that Biden’s decision to single him out publicly “put my family in harm’s way.”

The two men ended the conversation tensely. Biden reportedly quipped, “We have a pissed off Irishman and a pissed off Italian. I think we should let things cool off.” The pair didn’t speak for three months.

According to Manchin, during an interview on the All In podcast, Biden’s team quickly turned up the heat, using the media and activist networks to vilify and intimidate him into submission.

Teachers’ Lounges Turned Into Political War Rooms

A whistleblower inside the Los Angeles Unified School District has come forward with shocking evidence — stacks of left-wing flyers, posters, and propaganda pulled straight from teachers’ lounges across the district. These weren’t lesson plans or student materials… they were political rally cries — “No Kings,” “Workers Unite,” “Protest!” — the kind of radical messaging you’d expect from activist groups, not classrooms.

Grant Stinchfield exposes how these angry liberal educators are using taxpayer-funded schools to push their ideology, not teach America’s kids. This is a deep dive into the political indoctrination hiding behind classroom doors — and why parents must take back control of what’s being taught in our schools.
