Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez might want her followers to believe inflation is “propaganda” — but her constituents aren’t buying it.
The firebrand Democratic congresswoman used her Instagram stories to share a video from New Zealand’s left-wing Aotearoa Liberation League in which an activist claimed the “propaganda” surrounding inflation was designed to protect “greedy shareholders,” who are truly to blame for the rising cost of living.
But when The Post visited Ocasio-Cortez’s constituents in the 14th district, which comprises areas in both Queens and in the southeastern part of the Bronx, all of them reported economic pain and many said the Biden administration should not be left off the hook.

Chicago - Nearly 1,600 migrants seeking asylum in the U.S. will be relocated from Chicago police stations to winterized camps with massive tents under a plan by Mayor Brandon Johnson, according to a report released Thursday.
The relocations will occur “before the weather begins to shift and change,” Johnson said in an interview with the Chicago Sun-Times. The tents could hold up to 1,000 migrants, he said, and the camps would provide meals and recreational and educational programming.

Highland Park officials responded Wednesday following criticism to a recently announced "poverty simulation" event being held in the northern suburb.
The city announced Tuesday it was partnering with the Alliance for Human Services, Family Focus, Moraine Township, and the Highland Park Community Foundation to host "a poverty simulation event to increase residents' understanding and awareness of what it is like to live in poverty in Lake County."
The event, set for Saturday at the Highland Park Country Club, will give participants an "immersive experience" aimed at showing them what a month in poverty feels like, according to the city's posting. (Snip) "The simulation is a two and a half to three-hour experience

The Anti-Defamation League was founded in 1910 with an explicit mission "to stop the defamation of the Jewish people, and to secure justice and fair treatment for all," but in recent years they have completely gone off the rails.
In recent years though, it seems the ADL simply attacks anyone who doesn’t go along with the far-left agenda. The ADL targeted me, a young conservative Jewish woman, for speaking out against wokeness, far-left indoctrination of children, and the medical mutilation of minors under the guise of gender ideology. (Snip) The ADL came after the ad revenue on the site by pressuring advertisers

Full marks to the un-named Southampton head teacher who’s had the sense to point out what so many must be thinking: that white working-class teenagers should not be forced to learn about “white privilege”.
The reason for his thinking? “My school has some of the poorest kids in the city. When I look at my pupils I don’t see white privilege.” (Snip) a Department for Education survey in 2022, which revealed that poor white teenagers were the ethnic group least likely to study at top universities. Indeed only 10 percent of white pupils from state school backgrounds went to top Russell Group universities in 2021.

Green energy and the push to electrify everything have been in the news recently but for all the wrong reasons.
Instead of the green energy nirvana politicians and green energy advocates have promised, economic and physical reality has begun to set in.
Start with the economic realities.
Wind turbine manufacturers like Siemens and General Electric have reported huge losses for the first half of this year, almost $5 billion for the former and $1 billion for the latter.
Among other problems, turbine quality control has suffered, forcing manufacturers such as Siemens and Vestas to incur costly warranty repairs.
In Europe, offshore wind output has been less than promised

Chicago - There was a heated response Wednesday night from a South Side community where hundreds of migrants are about to be moved.
At least four buses of migrants have arrived in Chicago this week and this isn't the first time that migrants have lived in Hyde Park. (Snip) "I don't want them there! Take them someplace else or send them back to Venezuela I don't care where they go," said resident Doris Lewis. "This is wrong. You got 73 percent of the people that are homeless in the city are Black people, what have you done for them?"

Waukesha, WI - A 28-year-old Blue Island, Illinois man is accused of stealing mail and later leading police on a high-speed chase that stretched nearly nine miles. The accused is Michael White – and he faces the following criminal counts: (Snip) While tracking the Jeep, Waukesha dispatch took a call from someone "to report a suspicious vehicle that had just stolen mail, again." The complaint says the "caller indicated that he used an 'improvised pink paintball' to mark the side of the vehicle." A short time later, an officer initiated a traffic stop.

A Staten Island man who lives next door to a controversial school-turned-migrant shelter says cops seem more focused on keeping tabs on residents than the site as police beefed up security in the area Tuesday.
Scott Herkert, 53, told The Post he was baffled as he watched city workers install surveillance cameras outside his house Tuesday — rather than the shelter at the former St. John Villa Academy in Arrochar that has already sent hundreds of ticked-off locals to the street in protest.
“I’m in a fishbowl,” he said.
“I don’t recognize my country anymore. They’re doing things in secret, and now I’m the one under a microscope for standing up

Cop cars and barricades surrounded a controversial Staten Island Catholic school-turned-migrant-shelter Sunday — as police said they are bracing for a rally Monday that could bring more than 2,000 protesters.
Many demonstrators outside the former St. John Villa Academy in Arrochar have claimed they are not anti-immigrant, just concerned about the potential for crime and angry at city officials for shipping migrants into their neighborhood with little warning.
“The government has to stop doing this to our communities in secret and stop lying about it when they’re confronted,” said Scott Herkert, 53, who has lived next to the school for 22 years and was among about a dozen demonstrators outside it Sunday.

Smash-and-grab robberies are happening in broad daylight at stores throughout California and no one seems to be doing anything to stop them.
Two weeks back, a Nordstrom store in the west San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles was attacked by a flash mob of 30 to 50 masked thieves. (Snip) Voters had an opportunity in November 2020 to approve an initiative that would have reformed Propositions 47 and 57 by reclassifying specific crimes to allow tougher penalties.
This was Proposition 20.
The initiative would have helped undo so much of its predecessors’ damage, but it went down in defeat, 62% to 38%.
