Bank Robber With Dozens of Prior Arrests Released in New York

To get idea of the extent to which the liberals in charge have facilitated crime in New York, consider the flourishing career of the Burberry Bandit:

Cornell Neilly, 35, earned his moniker because of his past fondness for wearing dapper plaid duds during his capers at NYC and upstate banks.

He was busted yet again [last] Monday for allegedly hitting five banks between Aug. 16 and Sept. 13, from Greenwich Village to Central Park South, police said.

This was not enough to get him locked up in New York, even with a long criminal history:

Judge Jeffrey Gershuny — a 2019 appointee of former Mayor Bill de Blasio — ignored prosecutors’ request for $50,000 cash bail or $150,000 bond – and let him go on supervised release. This despite Neilly being on parole and having 34 prior bank robbery arrests.

Neilly is also a drug dealer.

Pro-criminal, left-wing activist judges will have to be removed from the bench before public safety can be restored. But first fools have to stop electing the Democrats who appoint them.

Think it can’t get worse in New York? Stand by for Zohran Mamdani to release half of Rikers Island.

Congressional Black Caucus Denounces Charlie Kirk

The liberal claim that Charlie Kirk was a racist is absurd to us, but not to speakers of Liberalese. In this dialect, “racist” is a synonym for “fascist” or “Nazi” — all of which mean “someone we hate.” The term “racist” differs from the others only in that it implies hating the person for racial reasons.

Once again, prominent Democrat Jasmine Crockett displays the hatred of Caucasians that is fundamental to modern liberalism:

Only two whites voted against honoring the great Charlie Kirk. No wonder Jasmine doesn’t like us.

Her fellow black leftists antiracistly join her in attacking his memory:

Members of the Congressional Black Caucus condemned a bipartisan resolution to memorialize conservative organizer Charlie Kirk on Friday, saying the measure validated Kirk’s beliefs, and legitimized “racist, harmful, and fundamentally un-American” ideals.

They support their incongruous accusation with this:

The caucus outlined some of Kirk’s past comments that they said they “strongly” disagreed with, listing “his belief that the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which ended racial segregation, was a mistake; his denial that systemic racism exists; his promotion of the Great Replacement theory; and his offensive claims about Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, Michelle Obama, and Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee lacking adequate cognitive ability.”

Note that none of these commonsense positions require having any particular opinion of blacks in general. However, to escape being denounced as a racist by liberals, you must believe that every single black is highly intelligent — even Ketanji Brown Jackson.

Only five members of Congressional Black Caucus voted in favor of honoring Charlie Kirk. Forty-two CBCers voted against it. Eight others voted present or did not vote at all. They do not wish us well.

Nationhood Bestowed Upon Demonic Terrorists

In a fallen world, even the most horrific acts of evil are sometimes rewarded. The 10/7 terror atrocities featured members of innocent families tortured and murdered in front of each other. The world responded with massive sums of free money and fawning media coverage for Gaza.

That was only the beginning. Now Western governments rotted through with moonbattery are bestowing statehood upon this dysfunctional pocket of Islamic radicalism sworn to the eradication of Israel.

Kier Starmer continues to play a leading role in Europe’s capitulation to Islam:

Hamas claimed victory on Sunday after Sir Keir Starmer awarded a ‘prize for terrorism’ by recognising a future state of Palestine.

The Prime Minister declared that the UK would formally support the creation of the state to ‘revive the hope of peace’ in the Middle East.

Not even Starmer is enough of a dope to think validating Hamas and supplying Iran with a more secure base for its terror operations will make the Middle East more peaceful. But he had to scramble fast to keep up with Canada and Australia, whose comparably loathsome leadership had already declared Gaza to be a legitimate nation.

Other countries that have succumbed to moonbattery are not far behind:

France, Belgium, and Portugal plan to recognize a ‘Palestinian state’ early next month at the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

French moonbats can’t wait:

Some French mayors have defied government orders and flown Palestinian flags on town halls, with more expected to follow suit as France prepares to formally recognize a Palestinian state at the United Nations General Assembly.

Meanwhile, Gaza has not even released all of the hostages it seized on 10/7.

It can be hard to remember why we fought to free these people from the Nazis, who were not more evil than Hamas. This time Britain joins France in waving the white flag — or rather its current equivalent, the Palestinian flag representing expansionist Islam at its most violent.

Lawsuit: Ron Wyden Family Drove Assistant to Suicide

Possibly thanks to insider trading, leftist Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) is exceedingly wealthy. Children raised amid more money than integrity are not always a pleasure to deal with. As a personal assistant to Wyden’s wife, 35-year-old Brandon O’Brien often had to babysit their offspring. A lawsuit alleges they drove him to suicide:

The disturbing behavior began in September 2022 when the couple’s then-10-year-old daughter allegedly exposed herself to O’Brien, making “sexually explicit” comments and asking about his “intimate life” during school drop-offs, O’Brien’s husband, Thomas Maltezos, alleged in court papers…

Mr. O’Brien had a “husband.” Brace yourself for an excursion into the realm of Democrats.

Meanwhile, the Wydens’ teenage son berated O’Brien with homophobic slurs such as “f—-t” and “zest kitten,” and the boy said his “his football team ‘would rape him,”‘ the suit claimed.

The boy allegedly threw things at O’Brien and the mom once “maced her son to restrain him but inadvertently maced Mr. O’Brien,” according to the Manhattan Supreme Court papers.

After O’Brien understandably quit, Wyden’s wife allegedly continued to harass him by accusing him of theft, hiring a private investigator to poke into his life, and spreading false rumors.

Although the merits of the suit have yet to be determined, it is a fair guess that you don’t want to work for the Wydens — or be governed by them.

Brandon Johnson: “Law Enforcement Is a Sickness”

Crime in Chicago was out of control even before Brandon Johnson was elected mayor on a pro-crime Black Lives Matter platform. Voters are getting what they asked for. During a press conference last Tuesday he left grammar behind as he sputtered that “Jails and incarceration and law enforcement is a sickness.”

Johnson looks crazy enough to believe it:

Previously, Johnson raved that incarcerating the criminals who are rendering Chicago unlivable would be not only “racist” but “unholy.”

What we call profane, they call sacred. What we call sanity, they call “sickness” and “unholy.”

Looking for common ground with malevolent lunatics is not productive. It will either be liberals’ world or ours.

Where Students Can Major in Blasphemy

One reason for moonbats to get their education in a place like Berkeley is that it allows them to major in blasphemy. From New Ways Ministry:

Today’s reflection is from Ish Ruiz, Assistant Professor of Queer & Latinx Decolonial Theology at Pacific School of Religion, Berkeley, California. He is the author of LGBTQ+ Educators in Catholic Schools: Embracing Synodality, Inclusivity, and Justice, and a co-editor of Cornerstones: Sacred Stories of LGBTQ+ Employees in Catholic Institutions.

The educator Ruiz reveals that he has borne a cross: not his temptation to indulge in sin but rather the failure of others to approve of it:

“Through therapy, spiritual direction, and a lot of dancing at gay bars, I realized that my queerness was not a cross. My real cross was the social intolerance I encountered in society and throughout my upbringing. The cross was exclusion fueled by narrow theology and rigid, outdated teaching. The cross was also the racism I felt, even within some queer spaces, as a brown, queer Puerto Rican.”

The poor guy has practically endured crucifixion. This qualifies him to preach moonbattery under a vanishingly thin veneer of Christianity — the best strategy leftists have come up with yet to eradicate faith.

The moonbattery quickly merges into straight forward blasphemy:

“I also realized that my queerness is a gift from Jesus that allowed me to bear those crosses of intolerance and oppression.”

The immoral behavior comprising his queerness is adamantly condemned throughout the Bible.

“Jesus is queer. Not necessarily in the sense of sexual attraction or identity, though perhaps he was queer in that way (but who knows?).”

Moonbattery isn’t the only thing Ruiz worships. He also worships his self-pity over imagining himself to be oppressed:

“Jesus was queer in the sense that He knows what it is like to live differently, to be misunderstood, to be marginalized [yadda yadda yadda]. [M]y queerness is the Spirit’s gift that helps me endure and even transform the suffering caused by exclusion, racism, and shame.”

If only moonbats were capable of shame.
