Jasmine Crockett Proclaims Herself Above Us

Jasmine Crockett may be heartless, phony, classless, anti-American, and dumb, but at least she is superior to the American population — in her own estimation. Townhall quotes the congresskook from the Sherri Show on Wednesday:

“I am one of the 535 most powerful people in this country and for some reason, you think we on the same level, but you gonna disrespect me? Like it’s not gonna happen.”

Seriously, she said that:

So much for being a public servant.

Hunter Biden Challenges Don Jr. and Eric Trump to Cage Match

Joe Biden has drifted off into senile irrelevance, but his bagman Hunter is not done making a fool of himself. Epoch Times reports:

Hunter Biden, the son of former President Joe Biden, on April 9 publicly challenged Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump—the eldest sons of President Donald Trump—to a cage match.

The 56-year-old is infamous for his degenerate lifestyle. He would be unlikely to prevail against much younger opponents, no matter how coked up.

The cage match proposal arrives roughly 16 months after former President Joe Biden issued his son a full and unconditional pardon on Dec. 1, 2024, covering any federal offenses between Jan. 1, 2014, and Dec. 1, 2024. Hunter Biden had been convicted on federal gun charges and pleaded guilty to nine counts of federal tax evasion. He was facing up to 17 years in prison and $1.3 million in fines.

Prison would be the ideal home for Hunter. He has found his way to the next most suitable place — a carnival:

We Had Better Learn From the Lesson of Los Angeles

Anyone who grew up watching Dragnet has an idea of what Los Angeles used to be like:

Then liberals got ahold of it. Here’s what it’s like now:

To glimpse a society’s future, look to its schools. Los Angeles Unified School District is in a financial tailspin as it loses students by the hundreds of thousands and spends a fortune to settle sexual misconduct claims. Chris Bray blames moonbattery:

Remember the list of demands the United Teachers of Los Angeles submitted to the district when the school board proposed to return to in-person learning during the pandemic. They weren’t coming back to the classroom, teachers said, until America defunded the police, imposed punitive taxes on the rich, implemented Medicare for all, gave free homes to all of the homeless, and eliminated all forms of standardized testing. Weirdly, an institution full of hallucinatorily insane actual communists is experiencing a financial crisis.

Teachers are getting laid off because LAUSD cannot afford to pay them. Meanwhile,

The LAUSD’s “Climate Resilience Committee” met on Wednesday afternoon, hashing out agenda items like “climate literacy” and “green schoolyards.” The meeting was staffed by the district Eco-Sustainability Office, led by Chief Eco-Sustainability Officer Christos Chrysiliou. On a base salary last reported a couple years ago at $221,894, his total pay and benefits hit $286,394 in 2024.

Bray visited LAUSD headquarters in an attempt to discover why the FBI was serving search warrants on Superintendent Alberto Carvalho.

I passed the school campus that sits just up the street, and I passed the decrepit RVs that people live in next to the campus. And I stepped through the piles of garbage that the residents of the RVs throw onto the sidewalks. Signs on a school fence warned that the RVs were parked in a “SAFE SCHOOL ZONE” where there would be special penalties for breaking the law. I watched a shirtless dude with an interesting amount of fidgety energy spraypaint a wall near one of the signs, possibly signaling that he wasn’t concerned about the warning.

Law enforcement has been rendered largely irrelevant.

This pile of garbage from homeless people and drug addicts sits outside the back end of the Miguel Contreras Learning Complex, by the way, where students can attend several different specialized high schools, including the School of Social Justice.

It isn’t just Lost Angeles.

Blue states, and blue cities, have gone floridly and relentlessly insane. … Blue state leaders have meetings about demanding that the climate not be allowed to change anymore, surrounded by homeless people dying of drug overdoses in piles of garbage.

Bray concludes:

[T]he madness and depravity of blue states and cities is a political liability that has to be tied around the necks of Democratic Party politicians.

Democrats have reduced many American cities to dystopian hellholes out of a grim postapocalyptic science fiction movie. Let’s not let them do it to the rest of the country.

The Swamp Becomes the Sewer

If ever a story was emblematic. The District of Corruption is the site of one of the largest sewage spills in US history.

Legal Insurrection has been following the story:

This crisis illustrates the predictable consequences of neglected maintenance and questionable spending priorities by DC Water, resulting from political and managerial choices that prioritized image and amenities over core infrastructure, with downstream Maryland communities bearing the public‑health impacts.

We also took a look at DC Water’s 9,900% error in reporting E. coli levels after the spill, which reported 242,000 MPN/100 mL as 2,420 and may have ultimately been the result of the agency’s emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, rather than concentration on mission priorities (e.g., technical competence and accurate, safety‑critical testing procedures and interpretation).

Authorities in our nation’s capital are so incompetent that Trump was required to take law enforcement out of local control to restore public safety. Through DEI, woke social engineers hope to inflict similar management throughout the country even before they complete their ongoing demographic transformation.

Now the Potomac Interceptor release is poised to become the largest sewage spill in U.S. history. …

Not only is the water contaminated by the release, but the land is as well.

They should rename the Swamp. “The Sewer” is more fitting.

Virginia Is for Lovers — Of Moonbattery

In the beginning, Virginia was the core of America, home to great patriots like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, George Mason, and Patrick Henry. Then came moonbattery. In only a quarter of a millennium, Virginia has degenerated to the point that rage-mongering moonbat Abigail Spanberger has been elected governor. Having seized power, Democrats are predictably turning every dial all the way left.

Greg Price lists a few of the bills they have introduced already, including:

• Guarantee illegal aliens free education.

• Make it illegal to hand count ballots.

• “Assault weapons” and large capacity magazine ban.

• Ban the arrest of illegal aliens in courthouses.

• Replace Columbus Day with “Indigenous Peoples Day.”

Taxes are to be raised left and right.

Not the Bee has more, including:

The new amendment that allows abortion up until the MOMENT OF BIRTH.

• A law that prohibits the government from considering white contractors for jobs under $100,000, and allows the government to choose non-white/female contractors even if their bids are 5% higher.

New car taxes to add to the existing car taxes.

The establishment of a de-facto gun-control agency.

• Increasing offshore windmills by 500%.

Unlimited taxpayer grants to help government employees buy fancy houses.

The absolute insane extent of the bans on common firearms.

At least the commonwealth’s decay is good news for the criminals who run rampant in deep blue states. Via Virginia Mercury:

Members of the Virginia Crime Commission voted overwhelmingly Tuesday to endorse legislation stripping all mandatory minimum sentences from state code.

The sweeping proposal, which lawmakers plan to introduce when the General Assembly convenes later this month, would eliminate mandatory jail and prison terms attached to 224 offenses that range from drunken driving to child rape.

The libs taking charge sure know who their constituents are. More evidence:

Taxpayers who enjoyed being looted for as much as $9 billion by Somali welfare colonists in Minnesota will love what’s coming down the I-95. Via Fox Business:

A Democratic Virginia lawmaker is backing a bill that would ban the state from verifying a nonprofit’s eligibility to provide and receive federal taxpayer benefits…

The introduction of House Bill 1369 by Virginia Democratic state Del. Jessica Anderson came in the wake of a massive fraud scandal involving nonprofits in Minnesota and amid pressure by the Trump administration for states to enact better oversight of how taxpayer money is spent.

It spites Trump, it facilitates crime, and it wastes taxpayer money. From the viewpoint of a Democrat, what’s not to like? Best of all, as in Minnesota, it will transfer money from hardworking Americans to grifters from the Third World — speaking of whom,

In addition to Anderson’s bill, newly sworn-in Democratic Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger has ushered in a new host of progressive policies that have been heavily criticized by Republicans, including repealing an executive action by her predecessor that now forbids local and state law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration authorities.

Here’s why these Jacobins are not worried about getting turned out of office by enraged voters:

The saying “One man, one vote, one time” now applies in the USA when radicalized Democrats win.

From their viewpoint above, the Founding Fathers look down and weep.
