AOC Scams Donors with Shady Turkey Drive Scheme
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 11/23/2025 12:46:32 PM
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sent out a fundraising email in mid-November asking supporters to chip in "$5 or anything you can" to spread holiday joy across New York City ahead of Thanksgiving, calling on donors to help pay for turkeys for needy families. But instead of directing donors to local charities coordinating turkey drives, as she did in years past, the appeal funneled contributions straight into her campaign account through ActBlue, raising serious legal and ethical red flags. According to a report from the New York Post, “clicking on the contribution link sends people directly to a campaign fundraising page operated by ActBlue,

There is a sickness loose in American culture—one far more corrosive than policy disagreements or spirited debate. It’s the worldview, proudly embraced and increasingly celebrated on the political left, that violence against innocent people is perfectly acceptable—so long as it moves their agenda forward or harms their opponents. And the evidence of this moral rot is no longer anecdotal, subtle, or theoretical. It is loud, explicit, and proudly broadcast in broad daylight.
Look at Chicago—where violent mobs surged into the downtown area, leaving eight people shot and one dead. The footage is chaotic, heartbreaking, and infuriating. Families ran for cover, small businesses were destroyed,
Good morning! It’s Sunday, November 23, 2025.
Today in History:
1976: Frenchman Jacques Mayol is the first person to dive 100 meters (~328ft) in the sea without breathing equipment He broke his own record seven years later by diving to 105 meters (~350ft). (Snip) I've been watching the developments in the government's case against Derek Chauvin. Another person who has also been watching and who has been rather vocal about it is a former law-enforcement, former-Marine type under the handle “Flopping Aces”. This morning, his newest post has some rather interesting info.
We'll get to that in a minute, but I want to first make clear my position:

In the wake of New York City electing itself a real live communist for mayor earlier this month, Rep. María Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.) introduced a non-binding resolution to Congress this past week called "Denouncing the horrors of socialism." That means it doesn't create any sort of real law — it's largely symbolic, with the intention of affirming "that the United States rejects socialism and opposes the implementation of socialist policies that threaten the freedoms and prosperity that define our nation."
Voting in favor of it should have been a no-brainer. It was for Republicans, at least: 199 voted in favor of it, with zero voting against.
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-Climate Hoax) is enraged at President Donald Trump and his administration, but not for the usual Orange-Man-Bad-is-a-fascist-who-is-taking-away-Our-Democracy reasons. No, Whitehouse deserves credit for originality: he has found an entirely new reason to hate Trump, blazing trails for his fellow leftists. The man is that rarest of things among politicians, particularly leftist ones: an innovator.
Fox News reported Friday that the selfless public servant Whitehouse “spoke at a press conference on the House side of the Capitol Thursday with the blessing of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y.”
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials continue to do incredible work despite constant harassment and violence, with the latest numbers out of Houston illustrating the impressive efforts of federal officers.
Murderers, pedophiles, and gang members are among the more than 3,500 criminal illegal aliens whom ICE arrested in Houston during the six weeks of the Democrat-induced Schumer Shutdown. This is particularly impressive because ICE wasn’t getting paid during this month and a half, as they got thousands of dangerous foreign criminals off our streets.
“ICE officers are facing a 1,000% increase in assaults against them and an 8,000% increase in death threats,
The Supreme Court of the United States has paused a lower court’s order in Texas that overturned new voting maps.
This week, a panel of three federal judges in the Western District of Texas struck down Texas’s redistricting maps. The panel ruled 2-1. Then, Texas appealed to the nation's top court on Friday.
The court will issue a response by Monday, Justice Samuel Alito, the associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, said in the Friday order.
“IT IS ORDERED that the November 18, 2025, order of the United States District Court is hereby administratively stayed pending further order of the undersigned or the of the Court.
Like most conservatives or libs, I had no idea who Brandon Gill was until March, when I caught this exchange as he grilled NPR chief Katherine Maher. Maher was appearing before Congress as part of her failed effort to save federal funding for public broadcasting. [Tweet, video]
For me, that put him on the map, and I’ve followed him more closely since. If you’re not familiar with Gill, he’s a 31-year-old freshman Republican member of Congress who represents the solidly red 26th Congressional District in Texas, not far from Dallas-Fort Worth. He’s one of the youngest members in the House.
Gill was born on a military base.
Charlotte, N.C., is making headlines this week because dozens of construction sites have gone silent. ICE swept through the region, and the labor force evaporated almost instantly. A major American city discovered, in real time, that its building boom was being held together by workers who couldn’t legally be there. Watching that footage hit me hard, because I’ve seen it before — not on the evening news, but in the slow collapse of my own childhood community. [Video]
I grew up forty miles north of Louisville, Ky., in a one-stoplight town held together by tobacco, construction, and the kinds of gritty jobs that built the region’s character.
It appears U.S. District Judge James Boasberg isn’t done with the issue of the Trump administration’s deportation flights earlier this year.
He is now trying to revive contempt proceedings against the White House.
From Politico:
U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, whose initial contempt proceedings were stymied for seven months by the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, said he had the green light to resume after the appellate court lifted the hold on his case last week.
“Justice requires me to move promptly on this,” Boasberg said during a hearing on a lawsuit brought on behalf of men deported under President Donald Trump’s unprecedented peacetime invocation of the Alien Enemies Act.
The Chicago Subway Arson Attack Was Horrific

— the Suspect’s Real Rap Sheet Makes
It Even Worse 6 replies
Yesterday, Townhall told you about two horrible crimes in Chicago that happened just this week. In one, a pregnant woman and her child were beaten by a mob of students outside a Chicago school. If that wasn't bad enough, a 26-year-old woman was set on fire on Chicago's Blue Line after reportedly getting into an argument with a career criminal named Lawrence Reed.
In the initial reporting, we believed Reed had 22 prior arrests. That's inexcusable enough, but it turns out Reed had 49 prior arrests, including for arson, as well as ten felony convictions. And it seems Reed's victim didn't get into an argument with him at all.
It looks like SNAP, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program designed to help struggling Americans put food on their tables, is having a long-overdue and much-deserved "come to Jesus" moment. The program has come under intense scrutiny this year, particularly during the recent government shutdown when a spotlight shone brightly on the massive amount of taxpayer money being wasted on people abusing the system.
The SNAP scrutiny kicked off earlier this year when Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., emboldened by the growing Make American Health Again (MAHA) movement, gave permission to West Virginia to ban the use of federal food assistance dollars to purchase soft drinks.

President Trump hailed Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s surprising resignation announcement Friday as “great news” for America.
“I think it’s great news for the country,” Trump told ABC News during a brief phone call.
“It’s great,” he added. The president indicated that Greene (R-Ga.) did not share her plans with him ahead of her social media post announcing her intention to leave office on Jan. 5, 2026, and said he had no plans to speak with her. “Nah, it doesn’t matter, you know? But I think it’s great,” Trump said. “I think she should be happy.”
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara apologized to the Somali community for a comment he made connecting "East African kids" to crime. "The Somali community here in Minneapolis has been welcoming and has shown love towards me, and I appreciate it," O'Hara said at a news conference on Thursday. "Over the last three years we have been working together to try and address some of the real serious problems that we have in our community." "We have to be honest at times with the problems that we're having in our community, and we need our community to help us fix those
President John F. Kennedy's granddaughter publicly torched her cousin Robert F. Kennedy in an essay revealing her secret terminal cancer fight. Tatiana Schlossberg, 35, said she watched in horror from her hospital bed as RFK Jr was confirmed for the top health post in February. She said the health-care system she relied on suddenly felt 'strained, shaky' after RFK Jr's confirmation and that she worried about losing access to leukemia and bone-marrow trials at Memorial Sloan Kettering, her best chance at remission. Writing on the 62nd anniversary of JFK's assassination, Schlossberg revealed she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, a type of blood cancer, in May 2024.
President Donald Trump announced Friday night that he is ending the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program for Somali migrants in Minnesota, and claimed "Somali gangs" are bullying Americans in the state.
The TPS program allows certain migrants to stay in the country legally if they cannot return home due to natural disasters, armed conflicts or other extraordinary events, and Minnesota has, in recent decades, become the home of tens of thousands of Somalians due to resettlement. Trump claimed in a post on Truth Social that Minnesota's Democratic Gov. Tim Walz has allowed the state to be a "hub of fraudulent money laundering activity,
First, I am not a doctor, but I have medical experience in Respiratory Therapy. When the COVID-19 “Flu” emerged, I knew that an effective vaccine could not have been manufactured and tested effectively in that amount of time. I also knew that the 6-foot distancing rule was nothing more than political and social theatre. The mask fiasco was not only unnecessary, but it created more problems than it solved. Rebreathing damp, contaminated carbon dioxide-laden (CO2) air can lead to hypercapnia and even hypoxia. For these reasons, neither my better half nor I received the jab or ever wore a mask, and when we did experience the COVID “flu,” it lasted
A liberal columnist complained Thursday about hearing the American national anthem in Washington, D.C., the nation’s capital.
Jamie Stiehm, who has contributed to several corporate media outlets, including The New York Times and The Washington Post, wrote for The Capital Times on Thursday that though the “Star-Spangled Banner” might be appropriate for “ballparks and stadiums,” it is “dissonant” to play before a classical music concert in today’s political climate.
Stiehm said that classical music transcends international boundaries, but the national anthem pulls the arts back into the orbit of President Donald Trump’s influence. After attending a symphony at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts
Mamdani: NYC Jews are arming up

Throughout America, gun owners and others who recognize the importance of the Bill of Rights have celebrated Trump II. He’s the first POTUS in memory who has taken active steps to preserve the Second Amendment and American’s other rights. He’s directed the DOJ to actively uphold the Second Amendment, and while their efforts haven’t yet been perfect, they’re finally in line with the Constitution. [snip] Jewish New Yorkers are arming themselves before an anti-Israel “mayor who despises us” takes the helm of New York City, several told The Post this week.
A temporary glitch on X led to a credibility bloodbath for a variety of foreign propaganda accounts that were either posing as Americans or lying about their locations in other ways.
Days prior, Head of Product Nikita Brier had announced a new feature revealing the origin and current location of users. When it rolled out, though, only account owners could view it. That all changed on Friday night, though. In what is assumed to have been a mistake, everyone's origins and current locations were made public for about an hour before disappearing.
A shooting at a Christmas tree lighting event in Concord, North Carolina, on Friday left four people wounded, according to police.
Concord Police said three victims were listed in critical condition and one was in stable condition. All four victims were rushed to a hospital for medical treatment.
The shooting happened at the city’s annual Tree Lighting Ceremony on Union Street S near the intersection with Corban Avenue shortly before 7:30 p.m.
Police, Concord Fire and Cabarrus County EMS personnel were already at the event and responded immediately with medical aid and evacuation efforts.
The remainder of the event was canceled after the shooting.
The U.S. Postal Service announced that it will increase prices for most shipping services beginning January 18, 2026, pending regulatory approval, as the self-funded agency works to narrow persistent financial losses.
The changes, already approved by the USPS Board of Governors, would raise Priority Mail rates by about 6.6%, Priority Mail Express by 5.1%, USPS Ground Advantage by 7.8%, and Parcel Select by 6%. Prices for mailing services, including the cost of a First-Class stamp, will remain unchanged in January.
The move follows the release of fiscal 2025 results showing a $9 billion net loss, slightly better than the $9.5 billion the prior year. Operating revenue rose 1.2% to $80.5 billion,
New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani doubled down Sunday on his claim that President Trump is a “fascist” and “despot” — but says he can still work with him.
“That’s something that I’ve said in the past. I say it today,” Mamdani told NBC’s “Meet the Press” when asked whether he still views Trump as a fascist.
The socialist pol said he’s eager to work with Trump because they agreed that the Big Apple needs to be more affordable at their surprisingly chummy meeting Friday.
“What I appreciated about the conversation that I had with the president was that we were not shy about the places of disagreement,” he said. “
A Long Island neurosurgeon who has the misfortune to be named Dr Jeffrey Epstein has an ingenious idea for how he might respond to Texas Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett after she confused him with the notorious sex offender of the same name.
“I think that I should contribute money to Jasmine Crockett and then let everybody know that she also took money from Jeffrey Epstein,” the physician joked to The New York Post.
Crockett threatened on the floor of the House of Representatives Tuesday that she was “gonna expose it all” after discovering that “somebody named Jeffrey Epstein” had donated to the campaign of the former New York Republican congressman Lee Zeldin,
