Wednesday night, Tucker Carlson railed against Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) for attempting to impose her policies onto the Federal Reserve. He called her by his nickname for her, “Sandy Cortez.”
“Now Sandy Cortez who literally couldn’t balance a checkbook, has never had a real job has decided we need to turn the Fed into a vehicle to fight global warming,” Carlson said. “Imagine a world where Sandy Cortez weighs in on Fed policy or the power grid, but she does.”
AOC recently wrote a letter to President Biden to appoint a new Federal Reserve chair that reflected her values. Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Chuy Garcia (D-IL) and Mondaire Jones (D-NY) joined her. “We urge President Biden to reimagine a federal reserve focused on eliminating climate risk and advancing racial and economic justice,” the letter read.
“How’s that going to end?” Carlson said. “With people with literally no skills whatsoever who can’t do anything, who could not program a microwave are in charge of the most complex and significant systems in the country.”
By law, he Federal Reserve is mandated only to ensure stable prices and employment.

Massachusetts Democrat Mayor wants to end ‘right-to-shelter’ law amidst migrant crisis

More Democrat leaders from non-border states are wising up to the immigration crisis our nation faces. Woburn mayor Scott Galvin, of the progressive state of Massachusetts, is hoping that lawmakers will overturn a 40-year-old law because the reality of being “bleeding heart liberals” is resulting in the demise of his town.
The 40-year-old “right-to-shelter” law has got to go, says mayor Galvin, because of the immense strain the thousands of migrant families are putting on the area’s residents. By Friday, there were about 150 families living in the city’s hotels, an “unsustainable” arrangement for his 40,000 constituents.
Galvin told the New York Times the right-to-shelter law, which only exists in Massachusetts, was “passed at a different time, and was not meant to cover what we’re seeing now.”
National Review reports:
Under the 1983 right-to-shelter law, Massachusetts officials are legally required to offer housing to any homeless families seeking shelter in the state. The law now covers a rising influx of migrant families, although individuals are not covered under its provisions.
“We’re going above and beyond, while some communities around us are not being impacted, and we don’t have endless capacity in our schools,” said Galvin. “The benefits that are bestowed on migrants make the state a very attractive destination, and without some changes, this challenge is not going to abate.”
Massachusetts Democrat Governor Maura Healey already declared a state of emergency on August 8th, requesting help from the federal government. On August 31, Healey activated up to 250 Massachusetts National Guard members to assist the more than 6,000 migrant families already in the state’s shelter system.
Approximately 6,300 families are living in emergency shelters and hotels across the state, up roughly 50 percent from the year prior. The cost for such accommodations for all the migrants is approximately $45 million per month, National Review reports.
