Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was famously a bartender before winning
a seat in Congress.

So she knows a thing or two about the server life. And she loves her some
social media, so when someone posted a question on the new platform Threads
aimed at AOC, she just couldn�t help herself.

�What are your best and worst food service industry stories? @AOC,� someone
with the Threads handle taylorjordalardas wrote.

AOC launched into an answer that included �mansplaining� and an allegation
that a customer was trying to �belittle the server.�

�Oh gosh, there is literally an endless supply here. I have some really weird
stories. One time there was this really rich guy who would come in one week a
year & was really addicted to mansplaining,� she wrote in response.

�You could just really tell he got satisfaction from it. He�d love to say
�ask me a question� and include all these little asides to belittle the
server and uplift himself.�

�Anyways, if you indulged him, he tipped like $200 to $300 on a lunch tab
every day for a week straight. Then disappeared till next year,� she wrote.

Needless to say, that�s horrible. A lonely guy comes into a bar, so excited
to talk to someone � anyone � and interact with people that he�d say, �ask me
a question.� And then the horror. After that, he�d tip you $200-$300 just for
stopping and talking with him for a moment, then disappear after a week.

AOC got raked on Twitter for her pouty whine after someone posted the Threads
post on Twitter.

�I�m so sorry you had to go through that ordeal. Hopefully the $300 tip
helped towards your recovery,� one user wrote.

Geoffrey Ingersoll, editor in chief at the Daily Caller, had a compassionate
take on the whole thing � but not for AOC.

�99.9p chance he was a wealthy and quaint old man whose wife had passed a few
years ago and who loved reading in retirement and just wanted someone, ANYONE
to talk to for a minute. Maybe even childless through no fault of his own, so
passing on info to a young server gave him a sense of worth and he was
willing to tip well for the opportunity,� he wrote.

�So instead of demonstrating grace to this person, aoc turns him into a
fictitious boogey monster that validates all the neo marxist gender nonsense
vomitted into her skull during college,� Ingersoll wrote.

Another Twitterer wrote: �$1200-$1500 from one week to listen to a guy tell
stories while I worked. Guy sounds awesome! I wish I had him visit my
establishment when I was younger. Would have been incredible to have such a
great week in tips!�

I worked in the service industry through college and a couple years beyond,
and I gotta� tell you, if I could listen to a guy explaining things for a
week and walk away with up to $1,500, I would�ve done it in a heartbeat.

But to AOC, it was just more chauvanistic �mansplaining� and a sap trying to
�belittle the server.�

What a horrible distorted world view she must have. And a depressing one. So
sad.

Former President Barack Obama is getting trashed online for speaking out
against banning books, which has become a hot topic ever since it was
discovered that sexually explicit material was being stocked in public school
libraries.

Obama made his opinions known on Twitter with a letter addressed to
�dedicated and hardworking librarians of America.�

The letter mentioned how writers like Mark Twain and James Baldwin helped
shape the former president�s childhood while going on to say �banned books�
are often authored by or featured �people of color, indigenous people, and
members of the LGBTQ+ community,� calling the approach �misguided.�

�The impulse seems to be to silence, rather than engage, rebut, learn from or
seek to understand views that don�t fit our own,� the letter says.

�Today, some of the books that shaped my life�and the lives of so many
others�are being challenged by people who disagree with certain ideas or
perspectives. And librarians are on the front lines, fighting every day to
make the widest possible range of viewpoints, opinions, and ideas available
to everyone,� the former president tweeted.

The Twitter comments were flooded with mockery of Obama�s stance. Followers
shared images from some of the most controversial �banned books,� including
images of explicit sexual imagery in those titles.

�Barack, If you�ll sit down and read �Gender Queer,� then defend making it
available to kids, I�ll do you the favor of running ads all over the country
to let people know. You�ll never do it because you know it would disgust
normal people that your party wants kids to read it,� Robby Starbuck, a
former GOP candidate for Congress in Tennessee, wrote, referencing a book
that includes gay sex illustrations.

�Were you a big fan of Gender Queer? Did it shape your life? Removing
inappropriate content from schools isn�t banning books,� another reply said.

�How about you encourage [Joe Biden] to do a public reading of these books in
front of children; that should be right up his alley,� another account
posted.

Many replies claimed Obama intentionally tried to mislead the public with his
statements.

�You are so crafty in your language and making the uninformed electorate
[believe] the issue is really about banning books,� another account posted.
�It�s about not providing access to pornographic materials to children and
forcing children to read books that propagate left-leaning ideologies through
mandated sex ed��

First lady Jill Biden expressed a similar stance to Obama in the past, saying
in September that no books should be taken out of school libraries regardless
of the content.

�All books should be in the library,� Biden said at the time, as The Daily
Wire previously reported. �All books. This is America. We don�t ban books.�

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has determined that this
summer is excessively hot -- and rather than the earth's tilt coupled
with the time of year, it's "MAGA Republicans" who are at fault.

Clinton shared a graphic from the Center for American Progress, which
showed a series of headlines about heatwaves and record high
temperatures across the country along with the caption, "MAGA
Republicans are pouring fuel on the climate crisis fire." Clinton added
her own thoughts as well, tweeting, "Hot enough for you? Thank a MAGA
Republican. Or better yet, vote them out of office."

Hot enough for you?

Thank a MAGA Republican.

Or better yet, vote them out of office. https://t.co/0MFC6rPq6o

The implication, of course, was that "MAGA Republicans" were directly
causing the earth's temperature to rise by standing in the way of the
Left's increasingly intrusive demands in the name of reducing global
temperatures.

Critics quickly began to mock Clinton, some noting that unless it was
particularly convenient for Democrats, most insisted that climate and
weather were not the same.

"MAGA Republicans are powerful enough to control the seasons
apparently, and without them we'd have no summer," syndicated radio
host Dana Loesch commented.

superstition. They have all the scientific credibility of an Aztec

Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly wanted to boost her national profile
ahead of the 2024 presidential election, so she decided to copy a page out of
California Governor Gavin Newsom�s playbook and attack Florida Governor Ron
DeSantis.

CNN reported that Harris� team decided to �quickly arrange� a last minute
political event in Jacksonville, Florida upon learning that the state�s new
African American history curriculum had passed.

Harris� team has reportedly �marveled� over the fact that her attacks on the
curriculum have led to his �opponents� using her attacks �as ongoing fodder
for attacks.�

The report comes after Dr. William Allen, former chairman of the U.S.
Commission on Civil Rights and Florida�s African American History Standards
Workgroup member, slammed Harris last week over her �lies� about the
curriculum after she seized on one sentence from the 216-page outline to make
her false claims.

Harris� team decided to launch the attack because they have �often complained
of her being left out of the spotlight and without support by many in the
president�s inner circle,� the report said.

�Harris has been quietly noting how other Democrats, including her friend and
sometimes rival for attention California Gov. Gavin Newsom, have grabbed the
national spotlight by swinging at Republicans aggressively,� the report said.
�Aides say she has also been watching the news out of the Republican
presidential race and telling Biden aides she wants to be seen as fighting
against extremism.�

The report said that �Biden aides lapped up the response and the series of
events it set off�, which included attacks by Republican presidential
candidate Tim Scott and three black U.S. lawmakers � all of whom have
endorsed Trump � on DeSantis and DeSantis� responses hitting back.

California Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom has repeatedly attacked DeSantis
and has gone as far as to call for investigations into the Florida governor
over him sending illegal aliens to blue states and cities.

DeSantis responded to Newsom�s call for a federal investigation by saying
that the over-the-top amount of hair gel that Newsom uses was �interfering
with his brain function.�

President Joe Biden will sit down for a rare one-on-one interview Tuesday,
but he is not expected to address the more recent developments regarding his
son Hunter Biden and Hunter�s former business partner Devon Archer.

Biden has managed to avoid doing major press conferences and in-person
interviews for most of his tenure in the White House � and the Press Corps
has taken notice, complaining regularly about the lack of access to Biden and
his administration. Despite that, the president�s Tuesday interview, set to
air on Wednesday, is expected to be all about climate � and will air on The
Weather Channel.

White House Communications Director Ben LaBolt explained the move, noting
that the president was attempting to reach voters who didn�t typically watch
political interviews.

�Today at the Grand Canyon � the President will tape an interview on his plan
to combat climate change, addressing the threat posed by extreme weather and
to promote resilience. Meeting viewers where they are � including those who
don�t tune into political news on a regular basis,� he said.

The interview comes on the heels of Archer�s testimony � which contradicted
Joe Biden�s repeated claims that he had never spoken to Hunter about his
foreign business dealings and suggested that he had, in fact, spoken directly
to the business partners in question. Democrats have since attempted to
explain away Archer�s claims by suggesting that Biden only discussed trivial
and mundane things like �the weather� when he joined conversations with
Hunter�s business associates.

�They found the least likely outlet to ask about Hunter and went with it,�
GOP Rapid Response Director Jake Schneider responded.

Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI) blamed climate change for the deadly fire that
killed dozens of people in Hawaii last week, adding that those who don�t
believe in it have a �head-in-the-sand attitude�.

Hirono made the remarks during a Sunday CNN interview with Jake Tapper on
�State of the Union� after the fire in Maui last week killed at least 93 � a
number that is expected to continue rising.

�I think that we very much need to acknowledge that climate change is upon
us,� Hirono claimed. �There are whole states, by the way, Jake, where you
can�t even use the words climate change because they still have a head-in-
the-sand attitude.�

USA Today reported last week that �many scientists� say that the culprit
behind the quadrupling of fires in Hawaii in recent decades is �unmanaged,
nonnative grasslands planted by plantations and ranchers and others
unfamiliar with the island�s native ecosystems. The grass is dry and prone to
fires.�

�There is no doubt that fire-prone grasses have invaded drier Hawaiian
ecosystems and brought larger, more intense fires,� said Peter Vitousek, a
professor at Stanford University.

Officials are unsure of what sparked the fires but said that low humidity and
high winds � fueled by a Category 4 hurricane south of the islands � greatly
contributed to their rapid spread.

The report noted that the non-profit group Hawaii Wildfire Management
Organization says on its website that �about 0.5% of Hawaii�s total land area
burns each year, equal to or greater than the proportion burned of any other
US state� and that �over 98% of wildfires are human-caused.�

"The sky was low and heavy, like the brow of a retarded child."

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen served up some laughs � as well some
concerns � in talking about her experience dining on a dish with
hallucinogenic mushrooms in China.

In an interview on Monday, CNN�s Erin Burnett pressed Yellen to talk
about her experience eating �magic mushrooms� with a group of people at
a Beijing restaurant earlier this summer.

�The person who had arranged our dinner did the order and there was a
delicious mushroom dish. I was not aware that these mushrooms had
hallucinogenic properties. I learned that later,� Yellen said.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen explains eating a dish that
contained �magic mushrooms� on her recent trip to China:

these mushrooms had hallucinogenic properties. I learned that

� The Recount (@therecount) August 15, 2023

An amused Burnett asked Yellen if she had any visions, perhaps when she
was sleeping. Through a fit of giggles, Yellen insisted that she did
not start tripping.

�I read that if the mushrooms are cooked properly, which I�m sure they
were at this very good restaurant, that they have no impact,� the
secretary said. �But all of us enjoyed the mushrooms � the restaurant
and none of us felt any ill effects from having eaten them.�

Some people reacted to the exchange on social media with glee and humor
� including NPR correspondent David Gura making a economics joke about
how the �effects were transitory� � while others expressed uneasiness
or ridiculed the Biden administration official.

�A Biden cabinet member was served hallucinogenic mushrooms in China?
Can�t make this stuff up,� Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) said in a post to X.

�Intelligence officers use psychedelics to compromise their targets,�
Eric Garland, a self-described geopolitical analyst with nearly 300,000
followers on X, said in a post. �If they targeted Janet Yellen as part
of an operation, diplomatic punishments should be swift and harsh.�

Steve Guest, a conservative commentator, observed, �Joe Biden�s
America: The Treasury Secretary gets booked on CNN to talk about
shrooming while in China,� while the Republican National Committee�s
Jake Schneider quipped, �This is a very serious administration.�

Yellen made the trip to China in early July. She ate at the restaurant
� part of a Yunnan food chain called Yi Zuo Yi Wang � shortly after
landing in Beijing, according to CNN, which also reported the
restaurant later posted to the Chinese social media platform Weibo to
share that staff said Yellen �loved� the mushrooms �very much. She
ordered four portions of jian shou qing (a Yunnan wild mushroom
species). It was an extremely magical day.�

During her interview with the secretary, Burnett noted the chain�s wild
mushroom dish has been selling out in locations around China ever since
Yellen�s meal at the restaurant �set off a frenzy.�

While in China, Yellen set her focus on discussing issues such as
economic competition, national security, and �climate finance.� By the
end, she insisted the talks were �productive.�

But Yellen garnered some criticism with the emergence of video footage
showing her bowing repeatedly to a Chinese official during the visit to
Beijing.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), the former Speaker of the House, claimed in an
interview this week that supporters of former President Donald Trump do not
value the dignity for everyone.

Pelosi made the remarks during a Thursday interview with Bloomberg Television
while in Venice, Italy.

When asked if there was a Republican candidate who she could live with
becoming the president, Pelosi responded, �I�m not into Republicans. I�m into
the Democrats.�

�And hopefully the Republican Party can find a candidate that the American
can live with, I say to the Republicans all the time, take back your party,�
she said. �The Republican Party is a great party. You�ve done great things
for our country. You�re not a � you�re not a cult to a thug. You�re a great
Grand Old Party and recapture that because the public that � America needs a
strong Republican Party, a strong Democratic Party, too, but strong
Republican Party.�

Pelosi then called Trump�s hold on the party a �cancerous situation� and that
she hopes the party can move past him.

She then attacked Trump�s supporters, claiming that he was only �popular with
his group.�

�It�s interesting to see how there�s a certain element of the population who
would just go for him,� she said. �They�re people we would probably never
get. They don�t share our values in terms of respect for the dignity and
worth of every person and the rest.�

Pelosi took a further shot at Trump supporters, saying that they were
�afraid� of change because �they don�t see a place for their families in the
future.�

�They�re concerned about globalization, they�re concerned about immigration,
they�re concerned about innovation,� she continued. �They�re concerned about
diversity, women, minorities, LGBTQ, other people coming into the leadership
arena, and that�s to be respected.�

Mexican officials installed a remnant of the Berlin wall near the U.S.
southern border last month to teach �a lesson� about knocking down walls and
building bridges.

The historic concrete slab right was placed next to the border wall in
Tijuana � across from San Diego � with a message that seemed to advocate for
allowing more illegal immigrants refuge in the United States. The move comes
as record numbers of families crossed the U.S.-Mexico border illegally in
August and as critics say President Joe Biden�s immigration policies have
caused the �Biden Border Crisis.�

�May this be a lesson to build a society that knocks down walls and builds
bridges,� a plaque by the base of the Berlin Wall relic reads.

Montserrat Caballero, the mayor of Tijuana, Mexico, and Marcelo Ebrard, a
former Mexican foreign secretary, are the two individuals behind its
placement, according to Fox News. Caballero is the one who penned the open-
borders message, the outlet reports.

In mid-August, after a ceremony unveiling the remnant of the Berlin wall,
Caballero posted, �We are a government that believes more in building
bridges, than walls that are useless,� according to a translated version of
her Instagram post.

Los Angeles-based producer Marcos Cline-Marquez helped bring the 3-ton piece
of wall to Friendship Park, San Diego-based KPBS reported in August.
Initially, the plan was reportedly to present it to President Donald Trump
while he was still in office, but the White House declined.

�You draw parallels between the Berlin Wall, a wall that was built to divide
not protect, and the wall on our southern border,� Cline-Marquez said.
Caballero had similar sentiments, acknowledging that while the �social and
political conflict is different than the Berlin Wall� it�s still �a wall at
the end of the day.�

Caballero did concede that the U.S. has a right to enforce its border, even
as she claimed the border wall represents �violence,� �family separation,�
and �division.�

As Mexican officials are denouncing the wall and even some Americans are
advocating for open borders, the U.S. arrested 91,000 illegal immigrants who
crossed the border as families in August � a record high, according to The
New York Times. Many are released into the U.S. awaiting court dates. In
July, U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported 183,503 encounters with
illegal immigrants, Fox News reported.

Since President Biden took office in 2021, at least 6.2 million illegal
immigrant encounters have been recorded � resulting in more than two million
migrants being released into the U.S., according to the Heritage Foundation.

Despite signing an executive order stopping the construction of a new border
wall, Biden is finishing small projects that had previously been contracted
out. This includes replacing the border wall on the Tijuana-San Diego
section, the Associated Press notes.

Many pieces of the Berlin Wall have been placed in various locations across
the world, including hotels, schools, and parks, the outlet notes.

Except the Berlin Wall kept people in, not out. It turned people into
prisoners. The border wall doesn't do that. Analogy fail, Mexicans.

Oh, and maybe if your country wasn't such an absolutely corrupt and
violent shithole, your citizens wouldn't be trying to flee it in droves.
Maybe work on that before installing ridiculous performance art pieces
like this.

You are a government that's bought and paid for by the Sinaloa Cartel.
How much have you personally taken from them, Caballero? Be interesting
to look at your finances.

So maybe you should just go ahead and stick your moralizing and
holier-than-thou attitude straight up your kiester.

Residents in the New York area represented by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
blasted her for sharing a video last month that said propaganda was being fed
to the American public about inflation.

The video, from left-wing New Zealand group Aotearoa Liberation League,
blamed �greedy shareholders� for creating �propaganda� about inflation.

�The price of everything keeps going up; meanwhile, the corporations selling
those things are making massive profits,� the video stated. �The goal of the
capitalist is to disconnect these two facts from one another. So they use
this concept of inflation.�

�The propaganda around inflation and cost of living is so powerful that we
forget the very basic fact that corporations set the prices for their
products,� the video continued. �If a corporation raises its prices and then
makes record profits, that�s not some invisible monster. It�s just a bunch of
greedy shareholders.�

Ocasio-Cortez�s constituents in the 14th district expressed their anger to
The New York Post that Ocasio-Cortez had blithely dismissed talk of inflation
as �propaganda.�

A 41-year-old certified nursing assistant and single mother of three told the
Post, �Is AOC crazy? Has she been to a grocery store recently? $1,000 ain�t
nothing no more. $100 ain�t nothing no more. Maybe she should spend some time
in the projects and really help people.�

�I�m working two jobs just to survive,� she continued. �I kill myself just to
feed my family. It�s much worse now than it was before the pandemic.�

A Hispanic retired schoolteacher from the Bronx snapped that AOC �does not
represent true Hispanic beliefs or values,. Puerto Ricans have traditional
family values which she does not represent. And for her to act as if
inflation being something other than the government�s fault? Well since I
don�t have someone to pay for my $30,000 dress for a gala like she did, it�s
much easier for me to see the truth.�

�AOC should not be in Congress,� she concluded. �She�s not helping us, she�s
hurting us with her rhetoric and her policies.�

A 55-year-old man said, �I had to cash in my 401K. The last few years have
been very rough. You go in a store with $100 and it buys almost nothing. I
don�t understand why (AOC) isn�t taking this more seriously.�

Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) attempted to troll House Republicans, led by
Rep. James Comer (R-KY), with an impeachment day gift as they began the first
hearing into the actions of President Joe Biden � and his critics had a field
day.

Fetterman shared a photo via X announcing that he had sent a case of Bud
Light to Comer and his �squad� as they began on Thursday morning.

�This morning, I directed my staff to deliver a gift to congratulate and
salute Representative Comer and his Team America [TM] squad as they embark on
their historic impeachment journey,� Fetterman captioned the photo.

A paper taped to the box read: �To Rep. Comer and his squad. A profile in
courage can make a guy thirsty. Congratulations, this Bud�s for you. Hugs &
Kisses, John Fetterman.�

But the Pennsylvania senator�s gift � though clearly meant as a joke �
sparked a wave of responses from his critics.

�My dude. No. You�re from Pennsylvania. You buy @yuenglingbeer,� Brian
Doherty chastised Fetterman for going with Bud Light over a brew made in his
home state.

work wearing anything other than hoodies and gym shorts � offered a
suggestion to Comer in case he wanted to give a gift in return: �Comer should
send him a pair of pants.�

NewsNation reporter Zaid Jilani added, �Increasingly it feels like people

Fetterman has been in the news quite a bit in recent days. First, Senate
Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) relaxed the Senate�s dress code �
ostensibly to accommodate the Pennsylvania Senator�s fashion tastes � only to
have the Senate vote against a relaxed dress code. And then, when Senator Bob
Menendez (D-NJ) was slapped with indictments on federal bribery charges,
Fetterman was the first fellow Democrat to call for his resignation.

Far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) scrambled on Wednesday to
defend herself after X CEO Elon Musk said the congresswoman is �just not that
smart.�

The commentary was sparked after AOC criticized House Speaker Kevin McCarthy
(R-CA) over a looming government shutdown.

�Boy math is needing 15 attempts to count the votes correctly to become
Speaker and then shutting down the government 9 months later,� Ocasio-Cortez
posted to X, formerly known as Twitter.

Political commentator Ashley St. Clair chimed in to criticize AOC, writing,
�Girl math is saying immigrants coming legally through Ellis Island is the
same as 3 million undocumented migrants pouring through our border and
costing NYC $1,000,000,000 to house migrants for free in hotels.�

Musk responded to St. Clair�s post about AOC, posting, �She�s just not that

AOC quickly boasted of her accomplishments in response. �I wasn�t born rich

she wrote. �Then I investigated Cohen, authored the largest FEMA funeral
assistance program in history and led creation of a US Climate Corps to
create tens of thousands of new jobs. Stay mad.�

The New York City representative has had numerous public battles with
critics. Notably, back in 2022, when Ocasio-Cortez fled New York City for
COVID lockdown-free Florida, she claimed her GOP critics actually just want
to date her.

�If Republicans are mad they can�t date me they can just say that instead of
projecting their sexual frustrations onto my boyfriend�s feet. Ya creepy
weirdos,� she wrote, referring to a photo of herself with her now-fianc�.

�It�s starting to get old ignoring the very obvious, strange, and deranged
sexual frustrations that underpin the Republican fixation on me, women, &
LGBT+ people in general,� AOC claimed.

�These people clearly need therapy, won�t do it, and use politics as their
outlet instead. It�s really weird,� she added.

Similarly, back in 2018, AOC claimed Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro
was �catcalling� her after he challenged her to a public debate for charity.

Commenting on a screenshot, AOC wrote, �Just like catcalling, I don�t owe a
response to unsolicited requests from men with bad intentions. And also like
catcalling, for some reason they feel entitled to one.�

�Discussion and debate are not �bad intentions,'� Shapiro shot back.
�Slandering someone as a sexist catcaller without reason or evidence does
demonstrate cowardice and bad intent, however.�

�But sure, go with �the Orthodox Jew who has never catcalled a woman in his
life is ACKSHUALLY a sexist catcaller for asking for a discussion or

I'm laughing too! Wealthy or not, she did work as a bartender, so she
put herself out there to earn her own money. And as far as I know,
despite her close proximity to Broadway, she wasn't performing sex acts
at any of the shows, so there's that. LOL!!!!

It would not surpise me if AOC exchanged sex for passing grades in school,
given how little she seems to know about her college major, but I think the
big question is why you're so obsessed with sex.
