Foreign Affairs On Foreign Policy, AOC Is Just More of the Same MAGA luminaries are more clear-eyed than the progressive congresswoman on Ukraine and Israel. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez went to the Munich Security Conference to introduce herself to the world as a foreign policy thinker. She returned having demonstrated something else entirely: that the Democratic Party’s progressive star has absorbed the establishment’s worst ideas while shedding only its least popular rhetoric.

She even referred to Israel’s actions in Gaza as “genocide.” Further, echoing the Canadian Prime Minister Mark…Open

They voted for him in 2016, despite sheer hysteria from Democrats, the entire media, and nearly all elected Republicans. They voted for him again in 2024 by an even larger margin, with some misgivings, because he promised a mass deportation force. Do we have to make Stephen Miller president so you finally get the point? Is this Groundhog Day? Why do we always have to start at square one on the question of: Should we have a country? The open borders crowd has two counter-arguments: virtue signaling…Open
