Profiles in Moonbattery: Judge Zia Faruqui

Posted on by

The progressive approach to imposing Marxist rule pioneered by communists like Antonio Gramsci calls for infiltrating and subverting institutions. One key institution is the courts. Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui demonstrates what leftists have been placing on the bench.

Faruqui infamously apologized to Cole Allen for his alleged oppression while incarcerated. Via Fox News:

The magistrate judge who apologized to suspected would-be Trump assassin Cole Allen for his treatment inside a Washington, D.C., jail during a Monday emergency motion hearing has been criticized for his standoffishness with the Trump administration over the city’s crime crackdown, and praised for his career-long commitment to DEI.

“To me, it’s extremely disturbing that he was put in five-point restraints, a person with no criminal history,” Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui, who devoted much of his career to diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, said during the hearing, adding that Allen is presumed innocent.

Sure Allen is presumed innocent. But we all saw him on video.

Faruqui went on to grouse that January 6 defendants did not have to wear five-point restraints.

Barks the moonbat:

“At a minimum, I should be apologizing to him. We are obligated to make sure he’s taken care of. Mr. Allen, I’m sorry that things have not been the way they are supposed to.”

Faruqui is unsurprisingly hostile to ICE for enforcing federal immigration law.

Frontpage has more:

Faruqui is a Pakistani Muslim magistrate judge appointed by Judge Beryl Howell, a notorious leftist, under Barack Obama. While the Muslim magistrate judge, a member of the Muslim Bar Association of New York, had mostly flown under the radar until now, his political tantrums from the bench had begun last year as he fought to protect criminals.

He agreed to dismiss a federal case against Edward Alexander Dana, who allegedly threatened to kill Trump while in police custody. Just the guy to put in charge of the Cole Allen case.

If wacky activist judges are not purged from the bench, they will continue to eat away like termites at the judiciary until it collapses into farce.

Biden Judge Releases Illegal Alien Wanted for Murder

Posted on by

Bryan Rafael Gomez is wanted internationally for murder. So he escaped to the USA, where he enjoys protection by Democrats.

He turned up in Massachusetts. From the Department of Homeland Security:

On April 4, 2026, the Worcester Police Department arrested Gomez, a criminal illegal alien from the Dominican Republic, for assault and battery. The detainer was honored, and after he was released on $500 bail, ICE arrested Gomez.

However, having seeded the judiciary with activist judges, Biden’s handlers are able to continue their war against the American population even now:

On April 28, 2026, U.S. District Court Judge Melissa R. DuBose–who was appointed in the final days of the Biden administration–ordered Gomez’s release.

This is not the first time Gomez was caught and let go:

Gomez entered the U.S. illegally in 2022 and was encountered by U.S. Border Patrol near Lukeville, Arizona. He was then released by the Biden administration.

In defense of DuBose, she is a person of great historicness, being reportedly “the first Black and openly LGBTQ federal judge in Rhode Island.”

Repeat Felon With Multiple Pending Felony Charges Released to Kill Cop in Chicago

Posted on by

Justice, public safety, and basic sanity have been sacrificed to the DEI/CRT/BLM mentality in Chicago. Via CWBChicago:

The Cook County judge who released a repeat violent felon with four pending felony cases on electronic monitoring last December, the same felon prosecutors now say escaped that monitoring and shot two Chicago police officers, killing one over the weekend, acknowledged during the hearing that the defendant likely would have faced “a minimum $1 million bail” under the state’s old cash bail system.

The avoidably murdered officer is John Bartholomew. The judge is John Lyke.

[A]fter explaining that he believed Alphonso Talley’s life of armed robberies and carjackings might have been the result of an underdeveloped brain that had since matured — even though Talley had allegedly committed an armed carjacking and an armed robbery with the same brain just eight months earlier — Lyke decided to let him go home on an ankle monitor.

Consequently, John Bartholomew is dead. Lyke will not be charged in the murder, despite his culpability.

Talley had already run up quite a tally of crimes:

His five prior convictions include four aggravated robberies and a conviction for being a felon in possession of a firearm.

On top of that,

Talley’s four pending cases were accrued one atop the other, starting with the stolen car and aggravated fleeing case, followed by battering a Cook County jail officer. And then, while on electronic monitoring for those, allegedly carjacking a woman and robbing a man at gunpoint.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson says, “We cannot incarcerate our way out of violence” because, “It is racist.” So why not let Talley go?

Lyke weighed it all — Talley’s five felony convictions, his four pending cases, and the ankle monitor he was wearing when he allegedly committed two of those pending cases while armed with a gun — and decided that he could not keep Talley in jail under the SAFE-T Act.

As noted earlier, the SAFE-T Act…

…is also known as the Purge Law, in reference to the movies/TV series about crime being made legal for 12 hours once a year to keep the population down. In Illinois, the Purge will take place all year around, until the population disappears completely. This is the fate of every state that succumbs to the Democrat Death Spiral, whereby Democrats drive out sane people, resulting in ever more radical Democrats getting elected.

Speaking of ankle monitors, Lawrence Reed, who had 71 prior arrests, was wearing one when he set Bethany MaGee on fire on a Chicago train in a case that recalled the killing of Iryna Zarutska. Reed was set loose by race-oriented Judge Theresa Molina-Gonzalez.

What liberals have done to Chicago, they are doing to Illinois. What they are doing to Illinois, they plan to do to the whole country. They call it “social justice.”

Court Gives Iryna Zarutska’s Killer Another Break

Posted on by

Local moonbats let the vicious maniac DeCarlos Brown run amok until he murdered Iryna Zarutska for being Caucasian. Following the horrific crime, Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles expressed more sympathy for the killer than his victim. Black Lives Matter responded by declaring that blacks “have a right to violence.” A GoFundMe raised money on Brown’s behalf. Iryna Zarutska memorials have been shut down. So it will come as no surprise that the liberal establishment now steps in to spare Brown from punishment. A sympathetic court has deemed him mentally unfit to stand trial.

As Daily Wire reports, this means Brown…

…cannot be tried or punished by the state, according to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Iryna Zarutska would be alive today if liberals had not already bestowed their malevolent benevolence upon her killer:

The case sparked international outrage over the blue city’s public safety policies and Brown’s lengthy rap sheet, which includes 14 previous arrests for offenses such as armed robbery and assault with a deadly weapon, The Daily Wire previously reported. He served five years for the armed robbery but avoided jail time in several other cases.

Absolving violent lunatics of criminal liability is insane. It allows the moonbats who dominate the mental health field to unleash maniacs at the public’s throat as soon as attention has moved on. Not only does Brown need to be held legally responsible for the violence he has inflicted, so do the liberal authorities who enabled him for twisted ideological reasons.

Fortunately, Brown still faces a federal charge. Trump has wisely called for the death penalty — the only way to guarantee liberals will not release him again.

Gavin Newsom’s Wife Suggests Most Criminals Are Innocent

Posted on by

We already knew that Gavin Newsom’s wife Jennifer Siebel Newsom is a delusional moonbat. Yet revelations of her lunatic wokedness continue to astonish.

The New York Post reports:

In what appears to be a years-old video clip making viral rounds on X this week, Siebel Newsom recalls sharing a moment with young adult inmates at the notorious San Quentin prison in Marin County, Calif.

“I told them about my own loss,” she said, referring to a 1981 incident in which Jennifer, then 6, killed her elder sister in a golf cart accident in Hawaii.

The convicts, she continued, “ultimately were accused of committing these violent crimes, and sentenced for life. And I think it shocked them that this blonde lady … had a similar story, and was perhaps in the wrong place at the wrong time –– but wasn’t punished the way they were, because clearly, it was an accident; but theirs was probably an accident, too.”

She is referring to hardcore criminals:

While the left has rebranded San Quentin a “rehabilitation center” in recent years, the lockup has traditionally housed hardened, violent criminals –– including nearly all of those on death row in California until Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a moratorium on the state’s death penalty in 2019.

As the entitlement fraud that has been allowed to rage out of control in California would suggest, her husband shares her pro-criminal inclinations:

The naive-at-best comments are not a good look for Siebel Newsom and her husband, who’s recently taken fire for enabling “elderly parole” for 50- and 60-something child predators.

From the viewpoint of kooks like the Newsoms, criminals are not the bad guys; we are the bad guys for wanting criminals in jail just because they happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and accidently broke the law.

Obama Judge Rules It Is Unconstitutional Not to Coercively Fund Leftist Propaganda Platforms

Posted on by

The liberal activists Obama and Biden appointed as judges need not have bothered obtaining their law degrees. They can apply a simple test to determine constitutionality. Does it impede leftism? If so, it is unconstitutional.

Americans have been enraged for years about being forced — ultimately at gunpoint — to fund the corrosive propaganda excreted by PBS and NPR. Under Trump, coercive financing of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting finally stopped — until moonbats restore it.

Via Zeale:

A federal judge on March 31 permanently blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order directing all federal agencies to cut funding to NPR and PBS, ruling the order violated the First Amendment.

The logic that free people are not forced to buy a megaphone for their enemies is turned on its head. PBS and NPR can help themselves to our money not despite being biased, but explicitly because they are biased in a way that our elected representatives do not like:

U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia wrote that the President’s order amounted to unlawful viewpoint discrimination – the government using its financial power to punish speech it disagrees with.

By the same logic, we should be forced to pay for propaganda platforms to promote the ideology of the regime in Iran.

Moss was appointed by Obama, who inflicted damage on this country that will continue to fold for years to come.

So much for liberals defending Our Democracy. Trump won the Electoral College, every swing state, and the popular vote. But he has been overruled:

Trump signed Executive Order 14290, titled “Ending Taxpayer Subsidization of Biased Media,” on May 1, 2025, directing agencies to “cut off any and all funding” to both broadcasters.

Congress has been overruled too:

Separate from the executive order, Congress passed the Rescissions Act of 2025 in July 2025, clawing back $1.1 billion in public broadcasting funding through fiscal year 2027.

It doesn’t matter who we vote for or what the Constitution says if liberals control the courts.

BLM Activist Bostonian of the Year Stole Nearly $225,000

Posted on by

A certain moral character could be expected of a Black Lives Matter militant placed upon a pedestal by the liberal establishment media in moonbattery-addled Boston. Monica Cannon-Grant offers no surprises.

Via National Review:

Monica Cannon-Grant, a Black Lives Matter activist who was named “Bostonian of the Year” by the Boston Globe, was ordered to pay back every dime she stole from her nonprofit, unemployment benefits, and other fraudulent practices, amounting to almost $225,000.

Don’t worry, libs. She received only the mildest of wrist slaps from a Biden-appointed Woman of Color judge:

U.S. District Court Judge Angel Kelley sentenced Cannon-Grant to four years’ probation, six months of home detention, and 100 hours of community service.

Here’s why federal prosecutors had recommended 18 months behind bars:

Cannon-Grant pleaded guilty in September to 18 counts, including three counts of wire fraud conspiracy, ten counts of wire fraud, one count of mail fraud, two counts of filing false tax returns, and two counts of failing to file tax returns.

In addition to the usual racial reasons, this may help explain the exceedingly light sentence:

Cannon-Grant founded Violence in Boston Inc. in 2017, coordinated massive protests and marches following the death of George Floyd, and facilitated other progressive social campaigns.

Bleeding heart liberal do-gooders motivated by the Black Lives Matter riots to donate to Cannon-Grant have no cause to complain. They paid for the self-satisfaction of having confirmed their righteous devotion to moonbattery. This they duly received. However, taxpayers were also looted:

“Cannon-Grant not only stole from her own non-profit organization but did so at the expense of multiple public financial programs designed to help those truly in need,” Thomas Demeo, special agent in charge of the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation at the Boston Field Office, said in a press release in January.

As could have been predicted, considering that from the beginning the purpose of Black Lives Matter has been to empower racially correct criminals versus law enforcement,

Cannon-Grant is one of several well-known BLM activists who defrauded the various social justice organizations they were responsible for leading, prompting the Department of Justice to launch an investigation into the movement, searching for potential donor fraud, following reports of mismanagement of funds.

Investigators had better hurry. Once Democrats regain power, BLM corruption will be swept under the rug by Tim Walz/Keith Ellison types, as with the massive Somali welfare fraud in Minnesota.
