There is no shortage in the cycle of news that is absurd and aggravating. This is America 2019, after all, so we can always turn our attention to President Donald Trump and accuse him of basically anything. And so the calls for impeachment have been strong this week. But then there is Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who has not been in the news for a few days, and therefore is putting herself into the limelight with all of the usual inaccurate assessments about how our government should structure itself and how the citizens are to live. Now that it is October, Ocasio-Cortez and her fellow Squad members, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) are in full Hocus Pocus Focus mode. Expect this month to be spooky, kooky, and creepy crawly in many ways. #KatiePetrick

Do not criticize the children, for any reason, ever. That is the message of the week regarding the hub bub around the United Nations General Assembly in New York, and more specifically the 16-year-old climate activist drawing headlines. #KatiePetrick
