“Woke 1” is a term AOC invented in a recent interview when she flashed that big bartender smile and casually said that Woke 1 came at a time when we had a health crisis and that “no one really believes that radical stuff anymore.” AOC laughingly quoted an unnamed city councilman as saying, ‘Woke 1 […]

With the rise of the radical left in America, one of the many terms that is super cool to toss around is “stolen land.” Will Cain recently chimed in on this topic succinctly by saying, “There is no such thing as stolen land.
