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.

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.

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.

On a tip from Varla.

As mentioned earlier,

Putting lowlifes in positions of authority does not improve their moral character.

This is nowhere more evident than in the moonbat dystopia New York:

The Democratic majority leader of the Yonkers City Council allegedly railed that she wanted to “slice this b—h’s throat” after a fellow lawmaker voted unsuccessfully to remove her from the post earlier this month, according to a complaint.

Councilwoman Tasha Diaz made the alleged remark about Councilwoman Corazon Pineda-Isaac after a local council reorganization meeting on Jan. 2, multiple sources told The Journal News.

It wasn’t a slip of the tongue:

Moments later while in the council president’s adjacent office, another source alleged Diaz repeated that she wanted to “slit” her fellow councilwoman’s neck.

Afterward she issued a nonapology:

“Language taken out of context does not give the full picture and is mainly used as metaphors. If language used has ever offended anyone, I apologize.”

Sorry not sorry.

If Democrats would slit each other’s throats, imagine what they would do to Republican politicians, if there still were any in the NYC area. Imagine what they would do to you. Then again, no need to imagine. They are already doing it.

On a tip from Jack D.

Most of the millions upon millions of welfare colonists pouring across the undefended border would not be in this country if they had any respect for our laws, so you can hardly expect mobs of them to refrain from beating NYC police officers — especially now that they know they will not be punished for it:

Shocking video captured the moment a migrant mob pounded a pair of cops near Times Square over the weekend…

The footage shows an NYPD officer and lieutenant initially telling the migrants to move along around 8:30 p.m. Saturday on West 42nd Street in Manhattan — before things quickly get rowdy as a scuffle breaks out between the cops and a suspect who is wrestled to the ground.

That’s when the rest of the punks converge on the officers, raining kicks to the head and body of the pair of New York’s Finest…

Police initially busted four of the asylum-seeking thugs, identified by sources as Darwin Andres Gomez Izquiel, 19, Kelvin Servat Arocha, 19, Juarez Wilson, 21, and Yorman Reveron, 24.

Then all four were released without bail.

They are as likely to show up in court to face charges as they are for whatever asylum hearing might be scheduled for a decade down the road.

According to the ideology of the liberals running New York, illegal aliens are oppressed and the police are oppressors. Whose side do you expect them to take?

One of the men, Reveron, has two open cases in Manhattan for assault and robbery.

In November, he allegedly “pushed, punched and bit” a Nordstrom Rack employee who caught him lifting a $130 item from the Union Square store’s display rack, according to law enforcement sources.

Last month, Reveron also allegedly “punched with a closed fist” a loss prevention officer at the Herald Square Macy’s after trying to pull off a robbery with two other suspects, the sources said.

But that’s no reason to lock him up, much less kick him out of our country. The dregs of the Third World that Democrats are importing to displace us are above our laws.

On a tip from Wiggins.

“Third World toilet” is not just a metaphor for what Democrats are turning the USA into; it is a literal description. From my former neighborhood in New York City:

Since November, thousands of adult migrants have waited outside the former St. Brigid’s School on East 7th Street, and overflow into Tompkins Square Park, to score a bed in the city’s shelter system after their 30-day and 60-day stay limits expired.

Back in the day, Tompkins Square was populated by drug-addled derelicts. No matter how bad the decay with moonbats in control, they will always make it worse. Now the park is home to a tiny fraction of the welfare colonists Democrats have illegally imported to displace the American population. Workers have given up on trying to maintain the porta-potties. You can see why.

In the past week, locals and volunteers said they’ve spotted cups filled with urine around the park’s entrance near the former school, along with human-sized poop in tree beds and between parked cars. …

One migrant had no problem taking an al fresco whiz on a tree Wednesday afternoon as The Post surveyed the stomach-churning scene.

Moonbat Mayor Eric Adams has proclaimed NYC to be a sanctuary city, welcoming the countless illegal aliens the Biden Regime has treasonously allowed to flood the country. The unfolding consequences were inevitable.

On a tip from Barry A.

Democrats have made it clear that the hordes of illegal aliens they have imported from every corner of the Third World take priority over American citizens — including American kids:

New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) is moving nearly 2,000 border crossers and illegal aliens from Floyd Bennett Field into a Brooklyn high school’s gymnasium — forcing students into virtual classes.

As we learned during the Covid shutdowns, that means students will not be learning until the weather improves and they are allowed back in school.

James Madison High School Principal Jodie Cohen notified parents, students, and faculty that they would have to go virtual on Wednesday to accommodate the border crossers and illegal aliens and their gym being turned into a migrant shelter.

The symbolism of Americans sacrificed to the illegal aliens brought in to displace them is underscored by the school being named after a Founding Father.

This isn’t the first time New York students picked up part of the tab for the Great Displacement:

At the beginning of the school year, around 21,000 illegal immigrant children flooded New York City schools for the first day of classes, forcing one school to place kids in a different facility because it reached building capacity. …

Adams also cut the city’s education budget by more than $1 billion over the next two years to deal with illegal immigration.

The objective is to grow the Democrat voter base at the expense of the American people. Mark Dice has more:

On tips from Wiggins and KirklesWorth.

Step 1: Use the million mouths of the media to relentlessly push Critical Race Theory, according to which everything wrong in the world of blacks is the fault of whites. Step 2: Let criminals out of jail on the grounds that punishing crime has disparate impact. Step 3: Stand back and watch the fun:

Around 11:30 a.m. on Christmas Day, two teenage girls visiting New York City from South America were enjoying an early lunch with their parents at Grand Central Terminal in Midtown Manhattan. As the family members minded their own business, an unruly man — later identified as 36-year-old Steven Hutcherson of the Bronx — had become so disruptive at Tartinery in the Grand Central Dining Concourse that members of the Tartinery staff had to ask him to leave. …

Hutcherson reportedly became enraged and began complaining loudly that the two girls, ages 14 and 16, were allowed to continue eating at the establishment. “I want all the white people dead,” he said, according to police. “I want to sit next to the cr*ckers.”

Out came a knife.

The 16-year-old victim was stabbed in the back so deeply that the blade of the knife nicked her lung. The 14-year-old was stabbed in the thigh.

This is typical:

This arrest marks the third arrest for Hutcherson in the past six months. … Hutcherson has been arrested 17 times by the MTA police and the NYPD.

The liberals in charge want violent crime. Either they want society to spin apart into chaos that can be exploited to increase their power, or they enable evil as an end in itself. How else to explain the lunatic policies that allow sociopaths to run loose terrorizing the innocent?

What Democrats want more of, like illegal aliens, they subsidize. They pay for the subsidies by taxing what they want less of — like people who go to work in the morning:

The climate isn’t going to notice the difference, but this really will reduce congestion — by giving businesses yet another reason to relocate outside of New York as the once-great city succumbs to the Democrat Death Spiral.

The symbolism of the national Christmas tree falling over was relatively subtle. The Rockefeller Christmas tree lighting ceremony more explicitly reflects civilization under siege:

In the context of recent events, few could be unaware that the Palestinian flag represents Islamic terrorists, who are supported by Western leftists with increasing openness. They have a common enemy: us.

Remember the outpouring of support for the NYPD after officers bravely rushed into the World Trade Center just before it collapsed? The climate in New York City has changed:

As Legal Insurrection reported last night:

It’s getting nasty outside of the Fox News headquarters. The Anti-Israel protesters are fighting with the cops and even set one NYPD hat on fire.

The original intent was to disrupt the Rockefeller tree lighting ceremony, which is happening a block away.

It isn’t just New York. On the other side of the country:

Antisemitic Antifa activists, anarchists and other radicals targeted the Seattle Starbucks Reserve Roastery as part of a call to “Block Black Friday.” …

Activists promoted direct action by sharing social media flyers. The flyer claims the protest and mass vandalism were “autonomously organized by Seattle area radicals, anarchists, and community members.” The hope was to “shut [Black Friday] down for Palestine.” …

The damage was significant, yet Seattle Police (SPD) did not intervene.

Police in Seattle have been marginalized to the point of irrelevance in the name of scumbag criminal/liberal demigod George Floyd.

As in the rotting Big Apple, Christmas came under attack:

The group marched into downtown Seattle after their assault on Starbucks. Once there, they disrupted the annual Seattle Christmas tree lighting ceremony.

“Once the group descended upon Westlake Plaza, they spread out within the hundreds of Christmas capitalists gathered for the absurd celebration of excessive consumption,” the Puget Sound anarchist wrote.

Islamic terrorism, hatred of all things Christian, Marxism. Sign up for the Muslim—moonbat alliance and you get the whole package.

The author admits that activists “took over the stage soon after arriving and started throwing Christmas decorations to the ground and trashing the scenery.” There were a handful of activists who stayed on the stage, holding a banner reading “From Turtle Island to Gaza: Land Back.” Land Back refers to a movement of literal land reclamation to its so-called original stewards.

Regarding Turtle Island,

Turtle Island is a name for Earth or North America, used by some Indigenous peoples, as well as by some Indigenous rights activists.

This confirms that leftists support the terrorists attempting to eradicate Jews from their homeland as part of an overall philosophy that everyone white or “white-adjacent” should be eradicated or at the very least confined to Europe, where they are getting swamped into extinction by an endless deluge of welfare colonists from the Middle East and Africa.

While the Christmas tree lightning ceremony was under attack, the police actually arrested someone for vandalizing the Starbucks. The only one arrested was Aly Youssef:

Youssef described himself as a transgender, polyamorous, pansexual, anti-capitalist, autistic Egyptian who is an “honorary member of Trantifa” (a name for transgender Antifa members).

Whether Starbucks would cooperate to allow prosecution was unclear. Most likely, Youssef will go unpunished, with a feather in his/her/its cap to flaunt on social media.

Liberals must have run out of special privileges to bestow upon allegedly put-upon blacks and sexual deviants, because they are expanding the Cultural Marxist coalition. In New York City, you can now achieve cherished oppressed status not only by your race or your perverse sexual inclinations but by being overweight:

A new city law that bans discriminating against someone because of their height or weight went into effect last week, six months after Mayor Eric Adams first signed the legislation. …

“All New Yorkers, regardless of their body shape or size, deserve to be protected from discrimination under the law,” NYC City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams and Councilman Shaun Abreu said in a joint statement Sunday.

To be “protected from discrimination” is to belong to a higher caste. This caste if first hired, difficult if not impossible to fire, promoted at every opportunity, immune from criticism, favored in law courts, given housing priority, et cetera.

The insanity of outlawing “discrimination” against fat people could be far-reaching:

For instance, one NYU student said classroom desks were too small for her…

No doubt Democrats believe that having to replace all desks, chairs, doorways, et cetera out of obsequiousness to the morbidly obese will stimulate the economy through wasteful spending.

Characteristically, Adams took the opportunity to tell a pernicious lie:

“Science has shown that body type is not a connection to if you’re healthy or unhealthy,” said Adams, who authored a 2020 book about losing 35 pounds.

Back in reality, eating your way to a politically favored “body type” makes you more prone to type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, metabolic syndrome, fatty liver diseases, some cancers, breathing problems, osteoarthritis, gout, diseases of the gallbladder and pancreas, kidney disease, pregnancy problems, fertility problems, sexual function problems, and mental health problems, according to the NIH.

Other Democrat domains are on board:

Lawmakers in New Jersey and Massachusetts are considering similar measures, while places like Michigan and Washington State have already enacted discrimination bans.

It might seem that one day we will have equality again, after everyone in the county qualifies as oppressed. But malevolent ideologies require a demonized scapegoat class. Stalinists had kulaks, Nazis had Jews, Muslims have infidels, liberals have white male Christians who cannot lay claim to any redeeming defect.

Though you wouldn’t know it from the smell down there, some New York City subway riders actually bathe:

Where moonbattery reigns supreme, it is the only propriety.

As noted earlier,

The New York City subway gives virtual tourists a glimpse of what life will be like after progressives have collapsed civilization into their anarchotyrannical conception of utopia.

More NYC subway fun can be had here, here, here, here, here, and here. Just don’t try defending other passengers from dangerous maniacs; the consequences won’t be fun at all, as Daniel Penny and John Rote can attest.

Evidently bail reform did not subject law-abiding citizens to a sufficiently stratospheric level of preventable violence, so Kathy Hochul and the rest of New York’s liberal rulers will now inflict the Clean Slate Act:

Hochul is expected to sign the Clean Slate Act on Thursday, which will automatically seal records after three years for anyone who committed a misdemeanor and after eight years for anyone who committed a felony (except Class A felonies) and is not a registered sex offender.

If you killed someone and accepted a plea deal or were convicted of manslaughter, you get a “clean slate.”

If you committed a rape alongside armed robbery and the rape wasn’t prosecuted to spare the victim (it especially happens with child victims), you get a “clean slate.”

A few people actually benefit from liberal rule — like Kim Crawford:

Crawford beat her 5-year-old because he broke the TV and then watched him suffer and die slowly for five days instead of getting him help so she did not get in trouble.

She got a manslaughter plea deal.

Clean slate for Crawford. She won’t be the only beneficiary:

Also getting a clean slate is a man who lured a cat in so he could punt it like a football — and taunted animal-rights supporters when he left the courtroom…

These two evil people and the many more like them will now be able to work around your home, your pets and your children without you or their employer ever knowing what they are capable of.

Unless they find out the hard way.

Local media supports the Clean Slate Act because its beneficiaries will tend to belong to the favored racial group that is most likely to have criminal records, like the examples given above:

Removing barriers to opportunities for formerly incarcerated New Yorkers is a matter of racial justice.

Meanwhile, Hochul squawks that New York needs to grow its own Stasi to monitor people’s opinions because she cares so much about public safety.

On a tip from Ed McAninch.

To get an idea of the level of tyranny we will be subjected to if Democrats consolidate power, look to the states where they already have — like New York under the rule of leftists like Governor Kathy Hochul:

Hochul said Monday that the state is “very focused” on collecting data from social media platforms as part of an effort to counter online “negativity” and “hate speech” after a rise in antisemitic attacks.

She must have been inspired by the immortal words of Thomas Jefferson: “…to combat negativity and hate speech, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the media…”

Being a Democrat initiative, building up a state-level Stasi will require spending lots of other people’s money. Drones Hochul:

“I also announced a significant increase in funding for our efforts: $75 million overall, $50 million for local law enforcement to beef up their efforts as well as $25 million in security grants.”

As Covid made obvious, everything that happens will be exploited by Democrats to tighten their stranglehold on Lady Liberty’s neck. If the Muslims they tend to champion attack Jews, that serves as a pretext for speech regulations that will inevitably be applied to silence conservatives.

If New York’s moonbat rulers had any interest in the safety of the law-abiding population, they wouldn’t let violent criminals rule loose in the name of bail reform.
