Reeducation for Firefighters Who Booed Letitia James

Tyrannical Soros-installed New York Attorney General Letitia James has been trying to dictate to the whole country who we can vote for and what we can eat. Firefighters, being patriotic Americans, booed her Thursday and even defiantly chanted “Trump”:

What happens to heroes who defy leftist tyrants? They are subjected to reeducation:

“After NY Firefighters exercised their 1st Amdt right to protest corrupt city leaders, a letter was sent saying anyone who booed Letitia James will be sent to HQ for re-‘education’,” Rogan O’Handley, known on X as D.C. Draino, reported while providing the letter.

The dissident firefighters are now being hunted down like J6 protesters. The New York Post reports:

An FDNY retiree fumed at the department’s heavy-handed response.

“It was a political stunt for the city to have the AG there. When it backfired, they sent their fascist pit bulls after guys for exercising their First Amendment rights,” he said. “Most were off-duty and not in FDNY uniform.”

Famed constitutional and criminal law attorney Alan Dershowitz blasted the FDNY’s hunt down.

“Firefighters have an absolute constitutional right to boo the attorney general, and the government has no power to punish them for it,” Dershowitz told The Post. “So efforts to get the names of the booers is an effort by the government to chill free speech and is unconstitutional.”

If moonbattery-addled New York State were its own country, it would be North Korea, except with diversity and sexual perversion. But then, maybe it is already no longer part of the USA, which would explain why the US Constitution does not seem to apply there.

Judge Who Released NYC Subway Maniac Is a Moonbat

Anarchotyranny prevails in jurisdictions controlled by leftists like Soros stooge Letitia James. While Big Government cracks down on opposition candidates and eating meat, violent savages like Amira Hunter run amok:

A 23-year-old with eight prior arrests was busted in the shocking, caught-on-video bottle attack on a New York City subway cellist — and was promptly cut loose Thursday despite pleas that she be held on bail.

Amira Hunter was nabbed Wednesday night, 15 days after she allegedly bashed Iain S. Forrest, 29, in the head as he performed in the Herald Square station.

Meet Amira:

No wonder local police get demoralized. There is not much use arresting maniacs like Hunter with maniacs like Marva Brown in charge:

The Big Apple judge who cut loose an alleged nut accused of randomly attacking a subway cello player is a former Legal Aid attorney with ties to progressive politicians.

Judge Marva Brown … became a Brooklyn civil court judge in November after campaigning as self-described “zealous advocate, compassionate advisor, respected negotiator and skilled litigator,” according to her campaign site.

By “zealous advocate,” she means a zealous advocate for moonbattery.

Letitia James Comes After Meat

If Soros-installed New York Attorney General Letitia James can tell us who we can or cannot vote for by hamstringing unapproved presidential candidates through lawfare, surely she can dictate to the entire country what food we can eat. Meat is a no:

People mustn’t be allowed to eat meat if it is offensive according to climate ideology — though criminals can rest assured that low-level crime will remain effectively legal under rule by Letitia James.

She may not have the power to prevent the entire USA from eating meat. But given the judgment of up to $500 million she inflicted on Trump for being someone liberals don’t like, she can probably raise the price of it.

When we pay more for meat because of Letitia James, can you guess where the money goes? Of course you can:

Because there is no specific person or entity harmed, just some general claim of fraud, any award will go into the pockets of the state.

Tyranny and malice are not the only motivators for Democrats. There is also pathological greed.

Welcome to a World Without Property Rights

Property rights are fundamental to civilization. Without them, society finds itself in the position of the Landas:

Susana and Joseph Landa, both 68, purchased the perfect home in Little Neck, Long Island, where they planned to enjoy retirement and care for their son Alex, who has Down Syndrome. …

Susana and Joseph’s dreams were crushed when, after buying the home in October, they discovered the house had been claimed by a squatter, identified as Brett Flores. …

Flores is claiming that he has every right to be on the property after being hired as a ‘caretaker’ for the previous owner.

In a sane jurisdiction, authorities would take firm grasp of one ear and escort Flores off the $2 million property. But this is New York:

After 30 days of continuous occupation, squatters can file adverse possession claims.

On top of refusing to leave, Flores is renting out rooms.

In the online listings, Flores advertised ‘The Prince Room’ for $50 a night to males, female, couples, families or students looking for a place to stay.

Adding to the indignities,

The homeowners tried to enter the property alongside an insurance inspector and Flores called the cops on them.

Flores knows how to work a system that is rigged in favor of lowlifes:

Flores has showed up for court without an attorney and filed for bankruptcy on January 9, 2024, which prevented any legal proceedings from going forward.

Meanwhile,

Flores has racked up thousands of dollars in utilities, which Joseph and Susana have had to pay.

Susana said Flores has been ‘leaving windows open 24 hours’ while they are paying the heating bills.

According to leftist ideology, property is theft. The consequences of putting leftists in charge are appalling but not surprising.

Is New York State Still Part of USA?

The Democrat Death Spiral doesn’t just destroy cities like formerly prosperous Detroit. It can take down whole states — like New York, which due to Democrat rule is effectively no longer part of the USA.

In America, political opposition is permitted. Not so in the People’s Republic of New York, where it is destroyed through lawfare:

New York Attorney General Letitia James threatened to seize former President Donald Trump’s New York properties if he can’t come up with the money to pay the $354 million civil fraud fine he was handed down last week by a New York judge.

The judgment is a farce that no reasonable person takes at face value. It signifies the collapse of rule of law into anarchotyranny, whereby hoodlums are allowed to rule the streets while authorities target political opponents over nonexistent crimes.

As businessman Kevin O’Leary observes, it is no longer advisable to do business in New York:

O’Leary, the star “Shark Tank” investor, slammed Judge Arthur Engoron’s ruling against Trump in the civil fraud trial. Last Friday, Engoron ordered Trump to pay a penalty of $355 million plus interest — a total of approximately $450 million. The fraud case was brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, a Democrat who campaigned on targeting Trump. …

According to O’Leary, the ruling demonstrates what he and many other businessmen believed was already true: New York is a “loser state” because of liberal policies, high taxes, and uncompetitive regulation.

“I would never invest in New York now,” he promised.

Assurances from the inept governor that you can still do business in New York so long as liberals don’t especially hate you will not win back investors.

New York’s anarchotyranny has reached the extreme that other states will not extradite criminals there, knowing that the pro-criminal kooks in charge cannot be trusted:

Maricopa County prosecutor Rachel Mitchell said in a press conference Wednesday that [a murder] suspect will instead remain in Arizona.

“Having observed the treatment of violent criminals in the New York area by the Manhattan DA there, Alvin Bragg,” Mitchell said, “I think it’s safer to keep him here and keep him in custody, so that he cannot be out doing this to individuals either in our state, county, or anywhere in the United States.”

The suspect, 26-year-old Saad Almansoori, stands accused of the murder of a 38-year-old woman in New York City earlier this month. He was arrested in Arizona days later, after stabbing a second person.

Bragg was installed in office to advance the liberal agenda by George Soros. Showcasing the astonishing hypocrisy that characterizes leftists, his spokesmoonbat accused Mitchell of “playing political games” by not turning over Almansoori.

For now, Americans can still enter New York without a passport. But I wouldn’t advise it.

Blasphemy at Saint Patrick’s Cathedral

The Long March Through the Institutions is laying siege to the Catholic Church. As usual, leftists have been assisted from within — as when iconic Saint Patrick’s Cathedral in NYC was subverted Thursday with a service worshiping a transsexual prostitute:

The word “whore” was written on the altar and the words “Ave Maria” were changed to include the name of the activist, with the singer saying, “Ave Cecilia.” Prayers for sex changes were made during the proceedings.

Cecilia Gentili, who died at age 52 at home in Brooklyn on Feb. 6, was an Argentinian transgender activist who was also a self-proclaimed atheist. … Genitli was an illegal immigrant in the US for 10 years as a sex worker before gaining asylum in 2012.

Gentili was the kind of guy our liberal rulers really like:

The deceased activist was also awarded $540,000 from the Biden administration for “trans outreach” for HIV while living.

Watch as an apostate panders for applause from militant perverts by observing that LGBTism draws a bigger crowd than Christianity:

The liberal media is delighted:

The New York Times reported that the event doubled as “an exuberant piece of political theater.”

By this, they mean blasphemy:

CatholicVote posted several videos from the funeral on X (formerly known as Twitter), highlighting that the funeral was a “mockery of the Christian faith” and of St. Cecilia, who is honored in the Roman Catholic Church as a virgin and martyr.

Given that homosexual behavior is proscribed in the strongest terms throughout the Bible, the event would not have been much more blasphemous if it had featured a drag queen defecating on the altar. No doubt that would draw a big crowd too.

Lawfare Attack on American System

If this stands, America is over:

Judge Arthur Engoron fined former Donald Trump and the Trump Organization on Friday in civil a fraud case for more than $350 million and barred him from serving as an officer or director of any New York corporation for three years.

New York Attorney General Letitia James sought to essentially bankrupt Trump by calling for a $370 million fine and a lifetime of from the real estate industry in New York State. James claimed Trump committed financial fraud.

The accusation is without merit, as most everyone is aware. Even moonbats know that Trump’s persecution by leftist apparatchiks like Letitia James and the visibly liberal Engoron is 100% political.

Under the tyranny that is unfolding, any conspicuous challenger to the liberal establishment will be crushed by absurd lawsuits staged in leftist cesspools like New York and the District of Corruption, thereby imposing single party rule.

Constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley called the ruling “confiscatory, extreme, and abusive.”

The judgment is the second this year in which Trump was found guilty and required to millions. In writer E. Jean Carroll’s defamation case against him, the judge orderedTrump to pay $83.3 million.

You don’t have to be the leader of the opposition party and favored to win the next presidential election to get kneecapped through lawfare. Mark Steyn was recently ordered by a DC jury to pay $1 million for agreeing that climate swindler Michael Mann is a fraud.

Props to Donald Trump for his squeaky clean record. You would think someone who made $millions in NYC real estate would have some shady dealings somewhere in his past. But the entire liberal establishment has been able to find nothing, so partisan piranhas are reduced to persecuting him over absurdities.

It is not enough for this nakedly tyrannical ruling to be overturned. Engoron must be disbarred and James removed from office for flagrant abuse of power. Otherwise, Democrats will continue to push this envelope. It’s not as if shame or decency will stop them.

NYC to Restrict Laundry Detergent

Even without the second Civil War, America is splitting apart into separate nations, with different and incompatible populations, customs, values, and laws. The everyday products people use are becoming different in parts of the country that have succumbed to liberal micromanagement. New Yorkers will have to make do with different laundry detergent:

New York City could soon ban Tide PODS and other laundry-detergent packs under the latest “green” push from lawmakers. …

Fines for selling the pods would start at $400, double for a second violation and top off at $1,200 for flouting the rules more than twice, if the bill becomes law. The bill would also require education and outreach to businesses on the ban for the first year.

At least this might keep social media from coaxing kids into taking the Tide pod challenge. Unfortunately, banning pods will not sate bureauweenies’ lust for control; other laundry detergent will inevitably follow. It is offensive to the planet.

Failed NYC Mayor Eric Adams Compares Himself to Jesus

Just when you thought nothing could lower your opinion of Eric Adams, he channels Ray “Chocolate City” Nagin of failed New Orleans — and then compares himself to Jesus Christ.

As usual with Democrats, it all comes down to diversity/equity/inclusion. Barked Adams at a town hall last Wednesday:

“Look at this team, folks. Look at this team. Look at my, look at my deputy mayors!” he said before naming some of the people in the hall.

“Have you ever seen this much chocolate leading the City of New York? And then go down the line. Look, look who’s here. This is representative of the city.* That’s why people are hating on me.”

It couldn’t have anything to do with giving New York the final push into the maelstrom that is the Democrat Death Spiral. Haters must hate him because like most Democrats he chooses personnel based on them not being white. Never mind that New Yorkers presumably selected Adams largely on that same basis.

By his own reckoning, his devotion to Cultural Marxist discrimination makes Adams comparable to Jesus Christ:

“Ma’am this is a Matthew 21:12 moment. Jesus walked in the temple, he saw them doing wrong in the temple. He did what?” Adams asked the audience.

“He turned the table over!” replied one member.

“I went to City Hall to turn the table over!” Adams continued.

He then recounted some of the staff he selected for diversity points rather than competence. His idea of turning the money changers out of the temple is purging municipal government of merit. Results of this approach have been as you might expect.

Some populations are not fit to govern themselves. This becomes evident when they start electing clowns like this:

*By “representative of the city,” he means “nonwhite” — although non-Hispanic whites are still the largest demographic group, and only one in five New Yorkers is black.

Pillaging Invaders Drag Woman From Moped

In New York City, it has been established that illegal aliens can beat police officers with impunity because they have the liberal establishment on their side. That means they can do anything they please. It means this:

The moment a migrant on a moped dragged a woman along a New York City street to steal her phone was caught in horrifying footage shared by police.

Moonbats will happily seize on this evidence that local police are systemically racist. No wonder undocumented Democrats enjoy kicking them in the head.

Three migrants were arrested by the NYPD after they allegedly went on a crime spree that saw them stealing wallets and cellphones from at least 62 women across the city’s seven boroughs.

Odds are they will not remain in custody for long. That’s why they come to New York, as even CNN has learned.

New York Provides Government Jobs to Illegal Aliens

New York does more for illegal aliens than just hand out prepaid credit cards and allow them to run free after they beat police officers. At the state level, it provides them with government jobs:

Gov. Kathy Hochul’s administration recently agreed to a proposal that could make it easier for migrants to get temporary jobs in state government.

American citizens are less qualified for government jobs, because they may be infected with some vestigial remnant of American principles like limited government. No need to worry about that with the millions of Third Worlders Democrats are importing to displace us.

The Civil Service Commission voted to approve the measure on Jan. 18 and is working with agencies to implement the changes, which include dropping typical application requirements like proof of a high school diploma or proficiency in English.

According to Disney’s Wheel of Wokeness, those who are educated and/or speak English commit “privilege” and are therefore disfavored.

Hochul is eyeing 4,000 entry-level posts that are currently unfilled within state agencies, including clerical or administrative roles, technical support, equipment service and repair and food services.

Letting Americans take entry level posts rather than giving them to foreigners would provide an opportunity to get people off welfare. But why would Democrats want people off welfare?

Unsurprisingly,

Mayor Eric Adams also likes the idea.

“I would love to get migrants and asylum seekers to help with the lifeguard shortage. We’ve been successful in getting almost 30,000 people to [file] applications, including work authorization, asylum, TPS — we want more,” he said Tuesday during a press conference at City Hall.

TPS = “Temporary” Protection Status. “Asylum seekers” means “illegal aliens.” Tanks and artillery are outmoded. Nowadays, nations are invaded and conquered by vast hordes of rapidly reproducing Third Worlders who sneak into the country illegally and then recite the magic word “asylum,” which virtually guarantees they will never be deported.

Providing the invaders with jobs is only part of the displacement process:

“We’re also looking forward to the state continuing to work to resettle families,” said Anne Williams Isom, deputy mayor for Health and Human Services, during the City Hall-based press conference Tuesday.

But there’s an ongoing challenge convincing migrants to relocate upstate.

There are still a lot of Americans in New York, once you get north of the NYC, so Democrats will work hard to overcome this challenge.

Watch CNN Propagandists Become Less Ill-Informed

It’s never too late to learn. Even mainstream media apparatchiks who have secured themselves snuggly within the bubble of bosh comprising the liberal narrative are sometimes capable of acquiring new information — though they may have a hard time processing it.

When a mob of illegal aliens brutally beat NYC police officers, were released by liberal authorities, saluted America by flipping us the bird, and then fled to California, even CNN was forced to acknowledge the story. BizPac Review reports on its reporting:

CNN’s Erica Hill and Phil Mattingly were covering the crime sprees in the Big Apple with reports of many offenses being committed by the illegal migrants who have poured into the Big Apple. In a discussion with CNN’s Chief Law Enforcement and Intelligence analyst John Miller, the attention turned to the recent attack on two New York Police officers in Times Square. …

“So what the detectives are telling me is, they have crews here that operate in New York, do all their stealing, then go to Florida to spend the money and then come back,” he told the CNN hosts.

“I’m like, ‘Why don’t they just stay and steal in Florida?’ They said, ‘Because there you go to jail,’” he said simply, leaving Hill momentarily without words.

“Oh,” she managed to say but was awkwardly silent as Mattingly jumped in to end the segment.

John Miller’s future with CNN may be in jeopardy. Florida has been governed with remarkable effectiveness by Ron DeSantis on countermoonbat principles and is therefore never to be cast in a favorable light relative to places that have succumbed to the Democrat Death Spiral like New York.

NYC Provides Prepaid Credit Cards to Illegal Aliens

Even as New York City staggers under the economic not to mention societal impact of the illegal alien invasion that it explicitly invited with its sanctimonious sanctuary city posturing, the leftists in charge continue to redistribute the wealth created by Americans to foreigners unlawfully imported to displace us.

Via Daily Wire:

New York City, under the direction of Mayor Eric Adams, is set to begin a $53 million program that will give illegal immigrant families who have arrived in the Big Apple a prepaid credit card.

That would be the same Eric Adams who admits that illegal aliens are destroying the city, but who also insists that the US border remain undefended from foreign invasion.

The initiative will work like the state’s food assistance program, and illegal immigrant families will be instructed to only use the prepaid credit cards at grocery stores, convenience stores, and supermarkets. The cards will be refilled every 28 days, and families have to sign an affidavit promising to spend the credit card funds only on food and baby supplies.

You can always trust the word of foreign invaders who are in the country illegally, as surely as you can trust the word of leftist kooks who are systematically destroying the country:

The Adams administration said that the pilot program will save New York City taxpayers money…

Soon Adams will have saved enough to cause NYC to collapse into bankruptcy. Then comes the federal bailout, financed through inflation.

That’s why it does no good to escape from areas that have succumbed to the Democrat Death Spiral like New York. If we do not overthrow liberal rule, the entire nation will collapse.

Illegal Alien Expresses His Gratitude

According to the narrative presented by the liberal media, the millions upon millions of welfare colonists Democrats have invited into the country on an illegal basis to displace us consist of starving urchins grateful for our mercy. But it isn’t hard to glimpse the wizard behind the curtain — as when a mob of illegal aliens beat NYC police officers, presumably in front of tourists.

Afterward, authorities unsurprisingly set the violent invaders free. Here one of them humbly expresses his gratitude:

The Third World is not sending us its best. Nor would its best be welcome. Boada and the many descendants the welfare state will pay him increasingly lavishly to produce can be guaranteed not to vote Republican.

When you see Jhoan Boada flipping off America after beating police officers and walking off scot-free, you are looking at the liberal establishment that imported and enabled him flipping off you.

Details from Fox News:

Jhoan Boada, 22, made the offensive double-handed signal after he was released from police custody on charges of assaulting a police officer and gang assault for the shocking beat down in Times Square on Saturday near a migrant shelter.

Boada didn’t appear bothered by the serious charges as he flipped his two middle fingers and smirked at reporters and photographers outside the Midtown South Precinct in Manhattan.

The reason Boada is not bothered by the charges is that he knows they are not remotely serious. It doesn’t matter what they charge him with if they don’t keep him locked up. Does anyone think he will show up for his trial? Nothing could be easier than an undocumented Democrat slipping off into the shadows, only to be arrested and released for a different crime in a different city under a different name. They have been placed above our laws.
