[TMZ] There's a reason Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez isn't mentioning her fiancé Riley Roberts when she talks about freezing her eggs ... TMZ has confirmed they broke up.
AOC and Riley actually split roughly two years ago, and called off their engagement, according to Puck's Chief Washington Correspondent Leigh Ann Caldwell ... who was first to report the couple's demise.
It looks like she’ll never have to report his income, after all.

A short list of possible reasons
* He's too white for her voters.
* He's too male looking for her voters.
* He does not like cold eggs ☺.
or she going to go LGBT? for needed votes.

OK, Riley, here's the deal. You can marry AOC or you can keep your man card. You cannot do both.

They were about to get in trouble with the House Ethics Committee (yeah, I know) over sometimes saying he's a spouse (for clearances), and when filing income statements saying he's not.
They may still be cohabing for all I know.

So when the present world ends in 2031 (AOC gave us 12 years in 2019), she will still have a potential to be a mommy in the post apocalypse world.

A seemingly red-faced Mayor Zohran Mamdani blamed a "miscommunication" Tuesday after an awkward public clash between City Hall and NYPD officials over whether the department would provide security for his wife Rama Duwaji’s upcoming Middle East trip.
The high-profile back-and-forth appeared to end when Hizzoner asserted that Duwaji would not receive a taxpayer-funded police escort on her jaunt to Syria and Lebanon next month — despite his own senior spokesperson claiming she would the day prior.
"There was a miscommunication. She has not yet taken that trip and when she takes that trip it will be without any NYPD detail," Mamdani told PIX11, when asked about The Post’s Monday report
A source familiar with the security detail said the first lady, whom the mayor has described as a "private person," requested the escort, and Mamdani’s office had confirmed she would be accompanied by city cops.
"Upon the strong recommendation of the NYPD, the first lady’s security detail will be joining her when she travels to visit family in Syria and Lebanon," Mamdani’s spokeswoman Dora Pekec said.

State Department Travel advisory - Syrian Arab Republic
Level 4 - Do not travel to Syria for any reason due to the risk of terrorism, unrest, kidnapping, hostage taking, crime, and armed conflict.
Curious these big city mayors fucking off to an overseas anti-american shindig before the ink is even dry. So the first question, who is paying for this jaunt?
[YeshivaWorld] The following is an unedited press release submitted by Satmar Williamsburg to YWN:
Rabbi Zalman Leib Teitelbaum warns against branding the mayor an antisemite and urges observant Jews to follow the Torah’s guidance for life in exile:
Just because Hizzoner is a Jew-hater is no reason to say so aloud, according to this idiot.
NEW YORK — August 9, 2026 — Grand Rebbe of Satmar Rabbi Zalman Leib Teitelbaum strongly condemned the campaign of attacks against New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani during his major annual address marking the yahrzeit—the anniversary of a person’s passing as observed on the Jewish calendar—of Rabbi Joel Teitelbaum, the founding Grand Rebbe of Satmar.
Addressing one of the largest and most significant annual gatherings of the Satmar community, the Grand Rebbe warned that the rhetoric being directed against Mayor Mamdani by members of the Jewish community violates the traditional Torah approach to relations with government and risks dangerously provoking hostility toward Jews.
“Recently, we have witnessed a terrible provocation against the nations by heimishe Yidden—through the incitement against the Mayor of New York City,” the Grand Rebbe declared.
The Satmar Hassids were reestablished in New York City after the Holocaust, and have since grown to a population of nearly 300,000, the largest of the Hassidic sects. They adamantly reject the modern world, especially Zionism, dress just as they did in the Old Country in the olden days, speak Yiddish, and fulfill all the characteristics of a cult. I am not aware of anything they have to say that is worth hearing.

Once Mandani supporters begin to beat them up on the regular, Satmar will blame the people that criticized Mandani for inciting the violence. This is my prediction based solely on the assumption that Saymar is incredibly stupid.

^ Obama rented an apartment in nyc long ago but, as far as is known, does not currently own any real property in nyc (or NY State) for that matter.
Obama still owns property in Chicago and in washington Dc and two beachfront properties, one in Massachusetts and one in Hawaii.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
