Far-left U.S. Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jamaal Bowman, both of New York, were ridiculed after behaving like angry hip-hop artists on a Democratic rally stage in the Bronx on Saturday.Their cringe-worthy antics at St. Mary’s Park in Mott Haven were "a last-minute attempt" to drum up support for Bowman and his "flailing re-election bid" ahead of Tuesday’s primary election, the New York Post reported, adding that Bowman is behind moderate Democratic challenger George Latimer by double digits.Bowman also dubbed himself 'the hip-hop congressman' in a searing rant before hollering, 'We are gonna show the f***ing AIPAC' — i.e., the American Israel Public Affairs Committee — 'the power of the motherf***ing south Bronx!'Ocasio-Cortez — who isn't shy about dropping street lingo and accents into her leftist tirades — went all out on this day, hopping around the stage and pumping her fists as rapper Cardi B's lyrically explicit song “Enough” blasted through the speakers. Photo by David Dee Delgado/Getty Images"Let's go Bronx! Are we ready? I can't hear you the Bronx, let's go!" Ocasio-Cortez hollered into the microphone. She added screams of, "Are you ready to fight? Are you ready to take this borough back?"She also screamed, "Are you ready to win this country back? And are you ready to fight for peace on earth and ceasefire in Gaza? I don't know about y'all, but I am ready to fight!" Bowman — who the House of Representative censured for intentionally pulling a fire alarm in the Cannon House Office Building before a vote on a stop-gap spending bill — soon took the stage and upped the ante on AOC's performance.The congressman appeared more than a little imposing and intimidating, having rolled up the short sleeves on his yellow T-shirt to his shoulders, held up a stool, slammed it down, and stomped across the stage. Photo by David Dee Delgado/Getty ImagesBowman also dubbed himself "the hip-hop congressman" in a searing rant before hollering, "We are gonna show the f***ing AIPAC" — i.e., the American Israel Public Affairs Committee — "the power of the motherf***ing south Bronx!" He also made reference to his "foul mouth" and then asked the adoring crowd, "What am I supposed to do? You're comin' after me! You're comin' after my family! You're comin' after ... my children! I'm not supposed to fight back? I'm not supposed to fight back? We gonna show them who the f*** we are!” Photo by David Dee Delgado/Getty ImagesBowman — who is staunchly for abortion rights — added, presumably in reference to the Israel-Hamas war that "we are not going to stand silent while U.S. tax dollars kills babies and women and children. My opponent supports genocide. My opponent and AIPAC are the ones destroying our democracy, and it's on us, it's on all of us to save our democracy."While the crowd at the rally — numbering around 300, the Post said — loved Bowman's cursing and ranting, not everyone was a fan.U.S. Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.) posted on X that "the level of profanity here is so shocking as to be unbecoming of a Member of Congress. There is nothing in Jamaal Bowman’s unhinged tirade that remotely resembles the decency of the people I know and represent in the South Bronx."As it turns out, Torres wasn't alone; both Bowman and Ocasio-Cortez turned off many:"Why is [AOC] screaming like a banshee? Is this a cult? Creepy," one observer asked."AOC knows WE KNOW THEY ARE FRAUDS… people see their lies and manipulation," another commenter stated. "Look at her getting all jiggy… 'fight' talk. They need us to be fighting amongst ourselves so they can try to keep their power. WE SEE YOU ALL.""Bowman's entire campaign is about violence against Jews," another user declared."Every arena of life is being taken over by people who are frustrated rap stars," another commenter quipped.Like Blaze News?

A free comic book promoted by Marvel for Pride Month featured multiple messages about gender and sexuality while being targeted at children 13 years old and up.As part of an initiative for inclusivity, Marvel sent out free issues of its "Marvel Voices" comic to distributors for Free Comic Book Day.The gender and sexuality-driven issue was targeted at teens and also had dedicated pages regarding black and "indigenous" stories and creators.After a Bollywood-themed Spider-Man and a female hero named Spider-Gwen, a glowing Spider-Man took on a rather interesting foe.The comic showed a group of thugs ransacking the Stark pharmaceutical company, as the leader of the gang is shown to be a "trans woman" named Peach."Peach. Leader of the Commune. Trans woman. Hacker. Yorkie enthusiast. Currently really frustrated," the comic read. After the group realized there are only needles and syringes remaining, the transgender leader decided it was time to leave before the security system came back online.As Spider-Man arrived, it is then revealed that the group is actually a cohabitating consortium of queer anarchists that see themselves as working-class heroes."The Commune. A Robin-Hood-esque, queer, human, anarchist crew who live and work together."In addition to the juxtaposition of a transgender person stealing from a pharmaceutical stock room, Spider-Man himself also pointed out that the female-identifying man isn't able to partake in discourse."Back off. Spidey! We aren't hurting anyone, and we don't wanna start with you," the criminal said. "Come oooon. Trespassing and theft are easy-peasy, but you can't handle a friendly conversation," Spider-Man replied.'There is no specific race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnic, religious or planetary-origin requirement to being a hero.' The comic book is riddled with incessant ideological messaging, including a full-page spread about diverse superheroes. Author Angelique Roche wrote that since the 1960s, the Marvel team has "evolved to reflect the world around us.""Our heroes and their stories provided proof of what we have always known: that there is no specific race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnic, religious or planetary-origin requirement to being a hero," she wrote.Roche has described herself on her website as a former congressional staffer, and she was also a campaign manager for Democrat Nina Turner. Turner was an Ohio state senator from 2008-2014 before she ran for Ohio's secretary of state, losing to Republican Jon Husted. Roche managed Turner's campaign for that race. That Park Place editor John F. Trent described the comic as an attempt to corrupt children and lead them into despair."On a storytelling level, they are priming their alternative universes with these characters so they can then bring them into the main universe to supplant their other characters like Captain America, Iron Man, the Incredible Hulk, and Thor," he said.The Pride comic is almost entirely made up of alternate timelines. Examples included "Earth-65" for the female Spider-Man character and "Earth-50101" that featured an Indian Spider-Man acting in a Bollywood film. Like Blaze News?

New York City residents gathered on Sunday to protest a tent city shelter used to house illegal immigrants, the New York Post reported.More than 100 locals and elected officials demanded that the city revoke its lease with Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn, which has been providing shelter accommodations to approximately 2,000 illegal aliens since last year. 'Today we’re saying 'no more.''Protesters arrived at the rally in a 90-vehicle caravan, carrying American flags and signs reading, “Preserve the American dream,” “Stop migrant crime,” and “Revoke the lease to Floyd Bennett.”Residents have raised complaints with the city since the shelter opened. Republican lawmakers sent a letter to National Park Services in March requesting information regarding the vetting process for the shelter’s tenants after residents reported an increase in panhandling and criminal activity.The letter stated, “Since the establishment of the migrant encampment at Floyd Bennett Field, local and national media have reported an uptick in crime at the migrant encampment and in the immediate neighborhood surrounding the park.”“The widespread reports of criminality in and around the Floyd Bennett Field migrant encampment include domestic violence, assault, shoplifting, prostitution, and panhandling scams,” it continued. The first busload of illegal aliens who arrived at the shelter in November refused to stay, instead demanding the city provide them with better accommodations. Many complained that the location of the shelter was too far from work or their children’s schools.Brenda Lee, a New York City resident who attended Sunday’s protest, told the Post, “Illegals are being prioritized over New Yorkers and many, many New Yorkers feel that this crisis is just not debatable and there’s no end in sight.”“We need to speak up about exactly ... where this is gonna go,” Lee continued. “How is it going to end?” “Is it gonna end?” she questioned.City Councilwoman Joann Ariola (R-Brooklyn) told protesters during the rally, “There are other places now that the migrants from that base camp can go.”“We need to be able to go to our national park and enjoy it. That was taken from us,” Ariola stated. “It’s been taken from us this summer and it must not be renewed.”Assemblywoman Jaime Williams (R-Brooklyn), who also attended the protest, declared, “Today we’re saying ‘no more.’”“It’s time that we take our community back, our city back, our state back. But let this be known that we are sending a very clear message to those individuals that are acting like thugs that we need our borders closed,” Williams added.Like Blaze News?

In a move straight out of communist East Germany, the Department of Homeland Security had recently planned to turn mothers and teachers into informants who rat out their neighbors for “domestic extremism.” The group behind the move was called the Homeland Intelligence Experts Group, which has since been disbanded. In notes released from a September 2023 meeting, they discussed ways to collect information on Americans and “get into local communities in a non-threatening way.” “As we told you after the passing of the Patriot Act, be careful, because terrorism can be ‘one man’s freedom fighter is another man’s terrorist,’” Glenn Beck warns. American First Legal alleged in a lawsuit filed in November 2023 that the group was stacked with Democratic partisans and violated the federal advisory committee act due to its lack of balance. As part of an out-of-court settlement, the group agreed to disband and provide American First Legal with its internal records. While Glenn is thankful that American First Legal took action, he isn’t convinced the group has truly been stopped. “I just want you to know, they don’t stop these things. They rename them. They break them up, and they do them in other ways,” Glenn explains. “You can’t say you are a lover of our democracy, and you’re trying to save democracy, and put a secret council together that is encouraging people to look at political dissent and report on those people so the government can do something,” he adds. Members of the group had noted that “Americans have an ambivalent feeling of telling on each other” and cited the “failure” of “see something say something.” “We’re not ambivalent about that. We don’t want to do that. If I see somebody that is breaking the law and I think they’re doing something that looks like it might be terroristic in nature, yeah, I will call the police,” Glenn says, adding, “but I’m not snooping and spying on my neighbors.” Want more from Glenn Beck?To enjoy more of Glenn’s masterful storytelling, thought-provoking analysis, and uncanny ability to make sense of the chaos, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
