(DCNF)—Fox News host Greg Gutfeld tore into Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Tuesday after she botched a basic point of world history.
Ocasio-Cortez mocked Secretary of State Marco Rubio for saying Spanish explorers brought horses and cowboy culture to Mexico, falsely suggesting those elements did not originate with Spanish settlers when historians say otherwise. During a segment on “The Five,” Gutfeld pointed out the irony that Democrats focus heavily on identity politics and heritage narratives. In this case, Ocasio-Cortez overlooked basic historical facts about European influence in America.
“The idea that American cowboys came from Spain, that that was so stupid. She’s wrong. They were brought there, I don’t know, in the 15th century by some guy, get this, do you know what his name is? Cortez. She’s a direct descendant of the guy that brought the horses to Mexico and then to America. So, weirdly enough, it was Cortez who brought the horses and then later gave us an ass,” Gutfeld said.
Gutfeld said Democrats benefit from what he called a “binary filter” inside the United States.
“I think the Democrats are blessed with the binary filter of being within our border, where Democrats and Republicans are kind of seen as intellectual equivalents because there are two parties. But once you step outside the country, that equality evaporates on contact. It’s like two guys playing Call of Duty,” Gutfeld said. ‘Then they both go to war, but only one has real combat experience and skills. That’s when the Dems — that’s what happens to the Dems — when they leave the house and they venture outside, and you see that they know nothing. And it’s like on cable news, you know. AOC and Gavin can raise themselves up by sparring online with Trump.”
Gutfeld said Democrats have mistaken identity-driven activism for national leadership.
“You might think they’re in the ballpark, but they’re not even in the same country. And I think the mistake, since Obama was focusing on identity, but not national. In fact, it was the opposite of national identity. It was splintered factions and causes, whether it was trans, illegal rights, felon justice, kind of activist driven climate pronouns, land acknowledgement. So the Dems took this short-term virtue signal and let everything else go to pot. So they became almost like the children in Lord of the Flies,” Gutfeld said.
“They just start going after each other. And Republicans just by default look like adults, even if you disagree with them, and they have to return to the aisle and to establish order, and the children hate it. But the problem with this identity politics is you only focus inward and not outward. They look like children because they are.”
Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés brought the first horses to Mexico in 1519 during his invasion of the Aztec Empire, initially arriving with 16 horses in April of that year before establishing a settlement and importing more after defeating the Aztecs, according to Galicenos of Sawannee Horse Ranch.
Spanish settlers then built breeding farms to grow the horse population, while additional colonists expanded both horse and cattle herds across the region, Archaeology Magazine reported. Indigenous groups later acquired horses through alliances, trade, theft and the capture of Spanish settlers, using them for transportation and labor.
Ocasio-Cortez’s disastrous Munich appearance isn’t just about the historical error. She also delivered a rambling 40-second response when asked whether the U.S. should send troops to defend Taiwan if China invaded. Former Democratic strategist Dan Turrentine said the exchange showed she was unprepared to pursue the presidency.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
