Squatters Displace Owner From Her House

Under anarchotyranny, 13-year-olds face criminal charges for displaying disapproved attitudes on social media. Meanwhile, law-abiding citizens are at the mercy of criminals. From New York:

[Adele] Andaloro inherited her family’s home in Flushing, Queens after her parents passed away. She was in the process of selling it when she noticed a problem. Someone changed the entire front door and lock of her home.

She managed to get in the house, brandishing her deed to it. Her belongings were gone. Strange men were living there. They called the police on her.

In New York, squatters have rights after 30 days.

Fortunately, the trespassers could not prove they had been there for 30 days, so they were escorted off the property and Andaloro changed the locks. But then:

Less than 10 minutes after police left and the locks were changed, the man who claimed to be the one actually leasing the house showed up with another man police already escorted off the property. They pushed through the front door. …

Police showed up a second time and told Andaloro “he can’t be kicked out, you have to go to court.” …

Because Andaloro changed the locks, they arrested her for unlawful eviction.

Trespasser Brian Rodriguez demanded she pay him money to leave, adding extortion to the crimes for which he will not be punished.

Andaloro now has to attempt to evict the intruders through housing court.

It takes an average of 20 months for an eviction case to have a resolution in New York City, according to the Rent Stabilization Association.

Life under liberals is intolerable, as New York has been making obvious.

Ketanji Brown Jackson Figures Out First Amendment

It is easy to dismiss Ketanji Brown Jackson as a dim-witted DEI hire, but she must be smarter than she seems, having figured out the purpose of the Constitution. She complains that it has been “hamstringing” government attempts to repress us:

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson asked Lousiana Solicitor General Benjamin Aguiñaga during oral arguments Monday on Murthy v. Missouri (formerly Missouri v. Biden) when the federal government should be allowed to “compel or encourage” social media platforms to censor speech that is “threatening… from the government’s perspective.”

Compelling or encouraging the suppression of speech that the government finds threatening is the definition of censorship. The purpose of the First Amendment is to protect us from it.

“My biggest concern is that your view has the First Amendment hamstringing the government in significant ways,” Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said. “Some might say that the government actually has a duty to take steps to protect the citizens of this country, and you seem to be suggesting that that duty can not manifest itself in encouraging or even pressuring platforms to take down harmful information.”

Who decides when information is “harmful”? Authoritarian apparatchiks like Ketanji Brown Jackson. Harmful to whom? Them, not us.

Professor Ties Marriage to White Supremacism

To utterly destroy society, you have to erode its most fundamental institution, namely, marriage. Leftist social engineers have attacked it by various means — feminism, the welfare state, the LGBT agenda, and now hatred of Caucasians:

“I theorize that marriage fundamentalism, like structural racism, is a key structuring element of White heteropatriarchal supremacy,” Professor Bethany Letiecq wrote in the Journal of Marriage and Family.

Like many vociferous antiwhite racists, the nutty professor is white herself. She makes a living spewing ideological toxins at George Mason University.

Theorizes Letiecq:

“Marriage fundamentalism can be understood as an ideological and cultural phenomenon, where adherents espouse the superiority of the two-parent married family.”

Successful societies have always practiced “marriage fundamentalism.” But they were all benighted. Now we know better, because we have the Experts.

Despite Big Government having destroyed the black family via the welfare state, Letiecq screeches that it has coerced “its citizens to enter into an institution built upon White heteropatriarchal supremacy.”

If Caucasians are responsible for climate fluctuation, why not marriage?

How lucky we are to catch crumbs of Professor Letiecq’s wisdom for free. Students go into decades of debt for the privilege.

Any day now liberals will figure out how to tie marriage to their imaginary climate crisis.

Burglary Tourism

A positive aspect of lax Democrat border and bail policies has finally been uncovered. They have stimulated the tourism industry:

Cunning criminals from Chile, Ecuador, Colombia, and Peru target wealthy neighborhoods in places with relaxed criminal justice laws to conduct home burglaries – before returning home with the loot while out on bail.

The troubling trend of ‘lanzas internacionales’ – translated to ‘international thieves’ – dates back at least two years across America, while the problem has also reared its ugly head in the United Kingdom.

For example:

[A] 17-year-old Chilean national was caught in Arizona following a series of jewel heists across [Los Angeles. … T]he 17-year-old – who has not been identified because of their age – was initially arrested weeks earlier in the Los Angeles area with three other Chileans for robbing homes.

Down in Chile, authorities probably aren’t enlightened enough to let criminals run free, necessitating trips north.

[N]o cash or low bail law[s] allow the repeat offenders endless opportunities to continue to the brazen heists, even after being caught.

After entering the country, they reportedly carry out strings of break-ins and other crimes, bringing home up to hundreds of millions of dollars in stolen goods, the FBI estimates.

Too bad the FBI is too busy spying on traditional Catholics, terrorizing political opponents and prolife activists, and dispatching death squads to do much about it.

Democrats are no doubt brainstorming on ways to get burglary tourists to stick around long enough to vote.

From the Reparations Fever Swamp

To get an idea of the extremes of malevolent lunacy progressives are progressing toward, check in on a reparations committee in a liberal jurisdiction like New York City:

Ron Daniels and Lurie Daniel Favors — both appointed to New York’s commission on reparations and racial justice by state Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie (D-Bronx) — made several fiery statements…

For example, Daniels barks on X:

Whites must be fiendish enough to impose climate change retroactively, considering that it has existed since the planet has had an atmosphere.

Daniels is founder and president of the Institute of the Black World 21st Century and served as administrator for the National African American Reparations Commission, a leading organization in the US and global reparations movements.

As we have come to expect of moonbats, Daniels sides with Hamas against Israel in the aftermath of the October 7 terror atrocities.

The move to defund the police predictably led to an explosion in violent crime. Lurie Daniel Favors, executive director at the Center for Law and Social Justice at CUNY’s Medgar Evers College, is an advocate:

Favors knows that you could never go too far when it comes to looting white people and tearing down civilization so as to turn North America into Haiti. That’s why she was placed on the reparations committee with Daniels.

Tennessee State Senator Calls for Race Riots

Meanwhile, as tourists from Iowa sit in prison for committing “insurrection” by wandering into the People’s House on January 6, Tennessee State Senator Charlane Oliver remains at large:

Oliver (D) recently expressed outrage over the passage of a bill that would prevent local officials from introducing policies or ordinances that limit the ability of police to properly fulfill their duties.

Oliver is not only a lawmaker but cofounder of the identitarian activist group Equity Alliance. When you see the word “equity,” take cover; you are under attack.

“Yeah, we gonna fight,” said Oliver. “Dr. King said that the riots are the language of the unheard. You ain’t see nothing yet. If you keep silencing us like this, what you think our district’s gonna do?”

Incitement to riot would be a crime, except that laws don’t apply to left-wing black women, because they are intersectionally oppressed.

The lunatic moonbattery comes atop earlier lunatic moonbattery:

Facing pressure from activists over the fatal beating of Tyre Nichols by five black police officers last year, Memphis City Council passed an ordinance in April 2023 preventing police from conducting pretextual traffic stops.

You can see how Memphis came to be the USA’s most dangerous city. The Democrat-dominated diverse dung heap is safer than 0% of other American cities.

State Sen. Brent Taylor filed a bill in January that would effectively override the Memphis ordinance by barring “a local governmental entity or official from adopting or enacting a resolution, ordinance, or policy that prohibits or limits the ability of a law enforcement agency to conduct traffic stops based on observation of or reasonable suspicion that the operator or a passenger in a vehicle has violated a local ordinance of state or federal law.”

Taylor’s bill passed along party lines. Democrats reacted with hebephrenic rage.

Right Not to Work Because You Have a Dog

Progressives still have progress to make. It is not yet mandated by Big Government that employers must pay people to stay home and take care of their pets or to grieve after the pets die.

From Airstrip One:

UK law states workers can take a ‘reasonable amount of time off to deal with an emergency’, such as caring for an ill child or mourning a death in the family.

But dog owners are now demanding those same rights to look after their four-legged friends, which 67 per cent claim to view as their ‘children’.

Per liberal ideology, it is “speciesist” to acknowledge a moral difference between a dog and a child. An unborn child counts for far less than a dog.

Some also believe they have a right to “pet-ernity” leave if their dog has puppies, and to show up late for work after bringing their dog to doggie daycare.

Utopia will be achieved when we have collected so many rights not to work that we are all paid to do nothing.

AOC’s District Has Become Third World Slum

The Third World subsists under the thumb of Third World rulers — incompetent, frequently ideologically deranged thugs who make their miserable countries even worse. That’s why the people who live there want to get out and escape across our undefended border. If enough of them come, the USA will be a Third World country with Third World rulers too. In the bluest areas, this has happened already. Consider the district that elects the “Future of the Democratic Party,” the barmaid from Westchester now known as AOC:

An area in Squad member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s district is being described as looking more like a Third World country as opposed to a thriving American neighborhood, as desperate migrants block up sidewalks selling food and shilling clothing items while prostitutes openly solicit sex from passersby — reportedly including teens.

The neighborhoods of Corona, Jackson Heights and Elmhurst — a once-vibrant community in northwestern Queens — has now essentially deteriorated into a large flea market with trash overflowing on street corners, leading to unsavory and unhygienic conditions…

According to local resident Ramses Frías,

“Basically, you just see clothes thrown across the floor … the items are stolen from donation bins or stolen from stores, and they just set up shop outside brick-and-mortar businesses. They take away trade from these businesses and don’t pay taxes.”

Why should they pay taxes? The point of taxes is to take money from us and give it to them. That’s why our tax money is not spent defending the border or enforcing laws against shoplifting, unlicensed street vending, and prostitution.

On the bright side,

The neighborhood is often touted as the most diverse in Queens…

When the whole country is comparably diverse, it will have leadership comparable to AOC. We are almost there.

Hideous Woke Monstrosity at Trafalgar Square

The purpose of modern art is to demoralize through meaninglessness and hideousness. Our moonbat rulers strive to marginalize the native population in favor of colonists from the Third World. So the next artwork to be unveiled on the Fourth Plinth at Trafalgar Square — said to be “one of the UK’s most important platforms for contemporary art” — will come as no surprise:

Lady in Blue is a sculpture of a black woman with abstract proportions, including strangely long arms and very pronounced buttocks and legs. Artist Tschabalala Self said the piece pays “homage to a young, metropolitan woman of color” in a statement obtained by the Art Newspaper.

Self, an American from New York City, has enjoyed “meteoric success with her distinctive works depicting black and predominantly female figures,” the publication reported in 2020.

Self’s conspicuous lack of talent is irrelevant. She is racially and thematically correct.

This is what currently passes for art:

This abomination represents a natural progression:

The new sculpture is set to replace the Antelope, a depiction of African anti-colonialist preacher John Chilembwe and his British missionary friend, John Chorley, in what is now the country of Malawi.

When art was great, its objective was to lift us up. Now, its objective is to crush us down.

LGBTists Subvert Charity for Easter

To complete the transformation, every aspect of society must be infiltrated and subverted by social engineers, including the most wholesome. In California, even Easter fundraising events are celebrations of sin:

For the second consecutive year, The Roost Lounge in Cathedral City will host two Easter fundraising events to benefit the nonprofit Voices for Children.

Voices for Children advocates for children in foster care.

The brunch will begin March 31 at 10 a.m. and will be moderated by Palm Springs’ social ambassador Bella da Ball.

Palm Springs is the place to go if you are looking for guys like Bella da Ball.

It will feature a bonnet contest, a basket auction and a live show with performances by drag artists Cee Cee Russell, Kunda Couture, Marina Mac and Sassy Ross.

The idea is to celebrate Christ’s resurrection with drag performances.

The Roost Lounge’s Roost Foundation supports a number of charitable organizations in the Coachella Valley. Per its website, “these philanthropic efforts transform the bar into a hub for positive change, proving that inclusivity and compassion can extend far beyond the dance floor.”

“Positive change” in the context of “inclusivity” is Liberalese for the promotion of homosexual behavior — a mortal sin that is proscribed in the sternest terms throughout the Bible. As for drag queens, refer to Deuteronomy 22:5.

But wrap the blasphemy in charity for orphans, and who would dare to object?
