AOC breaks silence on suburban yearbook pic but still clings to ‘Bronx girl’ claims: ‘Embarrassing herself’ David Propper, Jorge Fitz-Gibbon Sun, June 29, 2025 at 11:56 AM CDT 1.7k Lefty firebrand Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spoke out on her suburban high school yearbook pic — but still continued to dodge her Westchester County upbringing. “I’m proud of how I grew up and talk about it all the time,” AOC said on X Friday. “My mom cleaned houses and I helped. We cleaned tutors’ homes in exchange for SAT prep. “Growing up between the Bronx and Yorktown deeply shaped my views of inequality & it’s a big reason I believe the things I do today!” Despite her ‘Bronx girl’ claims, AOC graduated from suburban Yorktown High School in 2007 as “Sandy Cortez”. Courtesy Matt Slater But the Democratic Congresswoman’s “Bronx girl” claims have repeatedly come under fire, with folks in the Northern Westchester community remembering her as Sandy Cortez from Yorktown Heights. “She’s embarrassing herself for doing everything possible to avoid saying she grew up in the suburbs instead of the Bronx,” state Assemblyman Matt Slater (R-Yorktown) said Sunday. “She has said she visited extended family, she has said she commuted,” Slater said. “Now she’s in between. It’s clearly desperate attempts to protect the lie that she is from the Bronx.” Ocasio-Cortez, who represents part of the Bronx and Queens, traded online barbs with President Trump last week after she called for his impeachment for bypassing Congress for the Iranian airstrikes. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, 35, grew up in this suburban home in Yorktown Heights and attended local schools.. J.C. Rice Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez got into an online spat with President Trump, claiming she’s a “Bronx girl.” LP Media Trump called the liberal firebrand “one of the ‘dumbest’ people in Congress,” leading Ocasio-Cortez to rip into the commander-in-chief in a series of tweets. “Also, I’m a Bronx girl. You should know that we can eat Queens boys for breakfast. Respectfully,” Ocasio-Cortez said in reference to the president’s Queens childhood. Ocasio-Cortez was born in the Bronx but her family moved to Yorktown when she was 5 years old and she went on to graduate from Yorktown High School in 2007. The left-wing darling, 35, has taken heat for her suburban roots since she pulled off an upset win in 2018 to burst onto the national stage.

US strikes set Iran's nuclear program back 'many years,' Israeli assessment findsRachel Wolf, Jacqui Heinrich, Peter Doocy Wed, June 25, 2025 at 4:13 PM UTC 2 min read Yahoo is using AI to generate takeaways from this article. This means the info may not always match what's in the article. Reporting mistakes helps us improve the experience.Generate Key Takeaways An Israeli assessment determined that the U.S. strikes on Iran set the country’s nuclear program back "many years." The Israel Atomic Energy Commission said that the U.S. destroyed "critical infrastructure" at the Fordow nuclear facility and rendered it "inoperable." "The devastating U.S. strike on Fordow destroyed the site's critical infrastructure and rendered the enrichment facility inoperable. We assess that the American strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, combined with Israeli strikes on other elements of Iran's military nuclear program, have set back Iran's ability to develop nuclear weapons by many years," the Israel Atomic Energy Commission said in a statement. "The achievement can continue indefinitely if Iran does not get access to nuclear material." President Donald Trump, right, holds a meeting alongside Vice President J.D. Vance in the Situation Room at the White House in Washington, D.C., on June 21, 2025. The Israeli assessment seemingly aligns with the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei’s statement on the status of the site. According to The Associated Press, Baghaei said that the country’s "nuclear installations have been badly damaged, that’s for sure." In the early hours of June 22 local time, Iran’s Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear facilities were hit. U.S. B-2 stealth bombers used 30,000-pound bunker busters on Fordow, which was Iran’s main underground enrichment site. Israel hit the site again on Monday as the country carried out strikes on roads leading to the underground facility. The latest strike on Fordow comes as the Israel Defense Forces said Israel also launched a series of strikes targeting the notorious Evin prison and several Iranian military command centers in an "ongoing effort to degrade the Iranian regime’s military capabilities." This satellite image comparison from Maxar Technologies shows a nuclear facility near Fordow, Iran, before and after U.S. airstrikes were carried out on June 22, 2025. The strike targeted suspected tunnel entrances associated with Iran’s underground enrichment infrastructure. Iran's nuclear chief, Mohammad Eslami, said on Tuesday that the country was assessing the damage and preparing to restore the facilities, according to Reuters. He added that Iran’s "plan is to prevent interruptions in the process of production and services." Both President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to respond if Iran rebuilds its nuclear program.

The sources who should know say the low damage is fake news and Iran's Nuke program has been set back at least 2 years.

I served on JD many years ago, they were no parking fees and I got paid for serving, I really liked it, found it very interesting and while on an elevator with one of the judges I asked how I could serve more time but was told that's not how folks are chosen so was not called back ever again.

Why oil is tumbling and stocks are rising after Iran launched missiles at US bases Matt Egan and David Goldman, CNN Mon, June 23, 2025 at 3:07 PM CDT 25 Traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. - Michael M. Santiago/Getty Images Oil sold off sharply and stocks rallied after Iran fired missiles toward US bases in Qatar and Iraq that appeared to be intercepted. Traders are betting that Iran doesn’t have the willingness or capability to retaliate against US forces. And they’re hoping that this will be the extent of the Iranian response. US stock market investors are also breathing a huge sigh of relief. A sustained spike in oil prices would damage the US economy, raising costs for consumers and businesses. Falling oil prices lifted US stocks. US crude tumbled 7.2% to $68.51 a barrel, the biggest one-day drop since early April and one of the worst days over the past three years. It’s the first time oil has traded below $70 since June 12, a day before Israel began launching strikes at Iran’s nuclear facilities, and marks a dramatic turnaround from the Sunday evening spike of 6% to as high as $78.50 a barrel. Meanwhile, the Dow rose 374 points, or 0.89%, reversing course after falling earlier in the afternoon. The S&P 500 gained 0.96% and the Nasdaq Composite was 0.94% higher. CNN’s Fear and Greed Index, which measures market sentiment, ticked into Greed after hovering in Neutral. “I think what you’re seeing in many ways is a symbolic attack by Iran,” Kirk Lippold, former commanding officer on the USS Cole, told CNN. “Ten missiles is not that much. Every one is dangerous, every one could kill or maim many Americans. But hopefully at this point we’re not going to see further responses by the Iranians.” By comparison, Iran said it launched “hundreds” of missiles against locations across Israel on June 13 in response to Israeli strikes. At the moment, all signs point to a limited response: Iranian officials gave Qatar advance notice that an attack was coming before launching missiles toward a US military base located there, according to a source familiar with the matter. The coordination was intended to minimize casualties and preserve an off ramp, the source said. The Trump administration was anticipating Iran would retaliate after the US strikes, and the president does not want more military engagement in the region, a senior White House official told CNN Monday. A difficult balancing actInvesting in US markets lately is akin to spinning plates while riding a unicycle balanced on a bowling ball. Traders have to contend with rapidly changing tariffs, mixed economic signals, uncertainty over rates and now an escalating conflict in the Middle East. Using conventional wisdom, you might assume that the United States’ historic strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend would send stocks lower and oil prices higher, for fear of retaliation and a potential Iranian blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping lane through which about a fifth of the world’s oil flows. Yet the opposite is true. Bonds are quiet. Investors are maintaining their balancing act: It’s not entirely clear what happens next — or what position to take. If the US and Israeli strikes are largely over, and Iranian retaliation is muted, this could be a net positive for markets, lessening volatility and the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran. If the conflict escalates — particularly if Iran cuts off oil supplies to the West — that, combined with a growing trade war, could reignite inflation and a global recession. Advertisement “As of now, there’s a certain symbology to this,” Cedric Leighton, CNN military analyst and retired US Air Force Colonel, said on CNN Monday afternoon. “If they (Iran) can control their reaction, they wish for an offramp to some degree, but that’s something that remains to be seen. … If we decide to respond more forcefully to this, all bets are off at that point.” Meanwhile, oil markets are waiting for evidence of an actual disruption, said Bob McNally, president of Rapidan Energy Group. “Traders have seen a lot of false alarms when it comes to geopolitical disruption risk in the oil market,” McNally told CNN. “Unless there’s a material interruption in gulf energy, production, or flows, I think any further spikes will be contained.” Even Energy Secretary Chris Wright said in a CNBC interview on Monday that he expected oil to fall, given the level of tensions — but prices have sunk more sharply than he predicted. “I would not expect much movement of oil upwards from the tensions that are going on,” Wright said. “I’m not surprised oil prices have moved down a little bit, maybe more than I would have guessed.” Safe-haven trades, which tend to boom in times of global strife, were muted: Gold rose just 0.2% to $3,390 a troy ounce. Treasury yields were all very slightly lower as bond gained a bit. The dollar fell, too, slipping 0.3% Monday afternoon. It had been up nearly 1% earlier. America’s currency has tumbled after the Trump administration put in place historic tariffs on foreign imports as investors feared a looming inflation-induced economic downturn. The dollar, widely referred to as the world’s reserve currency, tends to rally in times of global unease and conflict, but some market observers questioned if that would happen again under Trump’s “America First” policies. It’s not clear that fear of conflict in the Middle East was lifting the dollar, earlier Monday though — it was more likely getting a boost from higher oil prices, since oil globally is traded in dollars. “While the broader bias still leans toward structural dollar weakness, escalating Middle East tensions are injecting support for the greenback via the commodity channel,” said George Vessey, lead FX and macro strategist at Conerva, in a note to investors Monday morning. “That channel will remain central in the days ahead, as Iran — according to state-run TV — has vowed to retaliate by closing the Strait of Hormuz.” So there’s a risk that an escalation sends oil and gas prices surging and the economy slowing just as higher global tariffs kick in. The Federal Reserve may be hamstrung if inflation surges, unable to lower its key interest rates that tend to lift the economy and markets. For now, Wall Street is largely looking past the Middle East conflict. CNN’s Alayna Treene, Zachary Cohen and Haley Britzky contributed to this report.
