Mamdani Lets Homeless Encampment by Intrepid Museum Fester

Nothing could be more emblematic of liberal rule than homeless encampments, so this story from the New York Post comes as no surprise:

A sprawling homeless encampment near the Intrepid Museum in Manhattan has been vexing business owners and passersby for months — but the city is effectively running a valet trash service for its rough-sleeping residents rather than clearing the eyesore.

The steadily growing shantytowns — haphazardly strewn with all manner of bicycles, electronics and garbage — have taken over sizable portions of West 45th and 46th Streets along Twelfth Avenue in Hell’s Kitchen, between the museum parking lot and an Amazon warehouse.

According to legend, back in the 1800s a rookie cop said, “This place is hell itself.” A more experienced cop responded, “Hell’s a mild climate. This is Hell’s Kitchen.” Thanks to Mamdani, the neighborhood is changing for the worse.

Normal people are sick of the stench. In response to their repeated complaints, the city sends sanitation workers on a regular basis to cart away unwanted trash but leaves the encampment in place.

Drug-addled bums love the direction New York is taking:

“Mamdani is awesome. He, like, did a whole paradigm shift on homelessness and care,” said Markus C., who lives in an encampment on West 40th Street but visits the 46th Street shantytown roughly twice a week. …

James Bilis, 35, from Jersey City, has been living on the streets for five years. He also heaped praise on Mamdani for the uptick in outreach services and the lack of enforcement.

“The homeless outreach, it’s been a lot of that. They walk around, they bring food to people all the time now. They bring supplies, try to give us shelters, there’s a lot more than before,” he said.

It is no accident that homelessness explodes where moonbats have control. Los Angeles is another case in point, as Steve Hilton would like to change:

Imagine the entire country as a homeless encampment. That’s what progressives are progressing toward.

Two Shot With BB Gun During Los Angeles Naked Bike Ride

The chaos and societal decay invariably resulting from progressivism continues to progress in Los Angeles, where two were shot yesterday morning during a naked bike ride through downtown, fortunately with only a BB gun.

Via KTLA:

According to the Los Angeles Police Department, officers responded to the corner of Temple and Alameda streets around 11 a.m.

“A male suspect, wearing all black clothing and on a scooter, shot two victims with a BB gun,” a department spokesperson confirmed to KTLA.

Victims were treated at the scene.

Video from the area obtained by KTLA shows that a naked bike ride was going on in the area at the time of the shooting.

Maximum chaos has not yet been achieved, considering that a real gun was not used and police caught the apparent culprit.

Free Teeth for Tweakers

Posted on by

Gavin Newsom’s porn for inmates is hardly the only gift generously bestowed upon California by its moonbat rulers. Alarmed by Spencer Pratt’s insurgent campaign, the communist mayor of Los Angeles offers free teeth for methamphetamine addicts.

Via Breitbart:

“How many people who are unhoused that you meet have no teeth at all?” she asked. “They don’t have teeth, why? Because meth rots your teeth. You can’t succeed without teeth! So there needs to be comprehensive healthcare provided to people.”

You can always tell when Democrats approve of something because they refer to it with a euphemism. Illegal aliens are “undocumented.” Welfare dependency is the “safety net.” Anti-white racism is “anti-racism.” Abortion is “choice.” Criminals are the “justice impacted.” Drug-crazed bums are the “unhoused.”

Good thing taxpayers have plenty of money, because this won’t be cheap:

We’re talking about tens of thousands of dollars in dental care. Implants cost about $6000 per tooth. Extractions run around $300 per tooth. Meth heads will almost certainly require bone grafts, sinus lifts, and maybe even sedation. …

In my experience, you’re looking at a total cost in the range of $30,000 to $80,000, and that’s if the city pays the dentist directly, which it won’t. The whole program will be funneled through a non-profit or NGO, which will double or triple the cost to taxpayers (with sweet kickbacks to Democrats), just like Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D-CA) “free” diaper program tripled the cost of the diapers the government (i.e. taxpayers) bought.

Meanwhile, those of us who don’t earn the favor of Democrats by becoming meth addicts have to pay for our own dental care — as well as theirs, if Bass makes good on her promise.

City of Los Angeles Characterizes Christianity as Mental Illness

Posted on by

In the Soviet Union, Christianity was all but criminalized. The vast majority of churches were shut down; priests and nuns were sent off to die in gulags. Also in the USSR, dissidents were sometimes incarcerated in mental asylums. This brings us to Los Angeles under communist rule.

WND reports on a city employee…

…who as a Christian objected to the LGBT promotions in his department during June, and asked for permission to work remotely during that time period so as to avoid giving the appearance that he endorsed that agenda.

The fight is being handled by Liberty Counsel, which already has filed a legal action against the city.

“Instead of working remotely, officials suggested he simply use the ‘back door’ or seek ‘mental health counseling’ if the ‘Pride’ flag caused him distress,” the legal team explained.

That is, holding the Christian view — according to which sin and depravity are sinful and depraved — makes him crazy.

The legal team pointed out that being allowed to work remotely is exactly the accommodation the city already allows for Muslims when they object to something in their workplace offending their beliefs.

But there is a big difference. Leftists support Islam, because their ideology shares the goal of destroying Western Civilization in general and especially Christianity.
