Cuomo Blew Over $100 Million on Unused Lights

Posted on by

Whoever the last sane New Yorkers rally around to try to stop the Islamocommie Mamdani, please let it not be Andrew Cuomo. This story gives an idea of how he spends money:

At least $108 million was spent on Cuomo’s “Harbor of Lights” project, which was supposed to install specialty LED lighting on several New York State bridges. The project was pitched as a way to boost tourism, but the lights ended up sitting unused in a warehouse for more than seven years until they were recently auctioned off for less than half a percent of the project’s overall cost.

It could have been worse. The original plan was to blow $250 million.

Ultimately, after years of collecting dust in storage, the lights were auctioned off in late June for just $383,000, or 0.35% of the project price tag, according to WRGB. Among the bidders was Zohran Mamdani — who recently defeated Cuomo in the Democratic New York City mayoral primary — and reportedly offered around $50 for the lights, Politico reported.

Mamdani will keep laughing if the unelectably awful Cuomo — best known for killing thousands of senior citizens and lying to Congress about it, sexual harassment allegations, and of course staggering waste — cannot be prevented from splitting the opposition vote.

Broke Washington State Gives Big to Abortion

Posted on by

Moonbats infuriated that the Big Beautiful Bill pauses coercive funding of abortion for a year will be pleased to hear that the state of Washington has stepped forward to help keep the obscenely lucrative prenatal abattoir Planned Parenthood in the money:

Planned Parenthood receives at least $22 million per year in Washington for Medicaid funding, including at least $11 million of the funds coming from the federal government.

Planned Parenthood is currently in court challenging the federal government’s decision to cut its funding, and [Democrat Governor Bob] Ferguson stated he will make state funding available if the litigation is not successful…

Ferguson squeaks that Washington taxpayers will “cover the gap.”

Meanwhile, the Evergreen State is facing a $10 billion shortfall. But the important thing is to kill unwanted babies; libs like Ferguson can worry about how to pay for it later.

Watch Tom Homan School Heckler

Posted on by

A liberal thought he would go up against Border Czar Tom Homan, interrupting him at the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit in Tampa Saturday night. He held up a photoshopped picture of Homan with MS-13 tattoos and asked, “Are you an MS-13 member?”

The moonbat asked for it. Homan gave it to him:

This must have left some bruise:

“They’ve got morons like this all over the country. This guy wouldn’t know what it’s like to serve this nation. This guy ain’t got the balls to be an ICE officer. He hasn’t got the balls to be a Border Patrol agent. This guy lives in his mother’s basement. The only thing that surprises me is you don’t have purple hair and a nose ring. Get out of here you loser.”

Afterward, the wokester returned to his mom’s basement, where he is seeking solace in Hot Pockets and refraining from sitting down.

Shoplifting Skyrockets in NYC as Thieves Go Free

Posted on by

As we learned during the deification of George Floyd, progressives worship petty criminal scumbags. This makes Democrat strongholds like New York utopias for thieves like Anthony White, who has been arrested 254 times.

The liberals in charge just keep letting him go, despite his relentless shoplifting. They may as well declare shoplifting to be legal — as they already effectively have in California.

The New York Post reports:

[T]he crime has surged 89% to more than 27,705 incidents this year from 14,286 in 2020, police data show.

White has plenty of colleagues — like Davaughn Gethers, who has been arrested 235 times, mostly for shoplifting:

His most recent arrest was on May 27 for thieving in Midtown. He was released the same day without bail.

He’s also been arrested for resisting arrest, assaulting a police officer and weapons possession, the sources said.

A police source who knows Gethers said the thief is nonchalant when he’s nabbed.

“He just says, ‘I don’t care,” the source said. “‘They’re just going to let me go.’”

Democrats represent White and Gethers, not the businesses they victimize. According to liberal ideology, those who earn a living are oppressors. Those who prey on them are sacred victims.

Who Pardoned Fauci Revealed

Posted on by

Prominent among recent Democrat-inflicted indignities is the blanket pardon for any and all crimes bestowed upon the king of the Covid tyrants, Anthony Fauci — who imposed mass vaccinations with an experimental vaccine, who committed a felony by lying to Congress, and who has been implicated in creating Covid. Due to the White House being run by a shadowy junta for 4 years while Biden drooled on himself and gibbered unintelligibly, we didn’t know exactly who pardoned Fauci — until now:

According to emails that were leaked to The New York Times, White House aide Jeff Zients approved the use of autopen to sign off on Fauci’s pardon. …

Zients is one of the people that Rep. James Comer is calling to testify as part of his investigation into the autopen scandal.

If justice prevails, the outrageous pardon will be ruled null and void and this most extravagantly overpaid of government “servants” will finally face the music.

Karen Bass to Hand Out Cash Cards to Illegal Aliens

Posted on by

In the struggle between the unlawful foreign invaders who have been wreaking spectacular havoc in California and federal authorities attempting to defend the country, the Democrats who run the erstwhile Golden State have taken their side. It isn’t ours. Communist Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has even announced she will hand out free money to the illegal aliens ICE is trying to deport.

From Newsmax:

Bass, a Democrat, has announced that cash cards will soon be available for illegal aliens facing financial problems following Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations. …

Bass’ directive instructs Los Angeles city departments to do everything possible to support city residents against immigration enforcement.

At what point do we acknowledge that Democrat officeholders who side with foreign invaders against the USA are committing straightforward treason?

Illegal Aliens Loot Cellular Infrastructure

Posted on by

Foreign invasion is war. The invaders are even sabotaging our infrastructure:

Three men whom authorities say are illegal aliens were arrested in Purcell, Oklahoma, and charged for cutting apart and stealing copper coaxial lines from a U.S. Cellular antenna site.

Reports the McClain County Sheriff’s Office:

“Approximately 3,600 feet of copper coax lines were cut, the suspects had loaded several hundred feet of the copper coax into a cargo trailer but left a large portion of the copper coax near the tower due to being caught in the act. Climbing gear and cutting tools were located inside the cargo trailer, along with previously cut copper coax cable from another theft.”

Like a swarm of locusts, the gimmegrants eat everything in their path.

The three suspects, Juan Martinez, Jerlis Martinez, and Cristian Orellana, have been hit with felony theft charges and have also earned an ICE detainer.

Good thing they were caught in Oklahoma. You know what an ICE detainer is worth in a sanctuary jurisdiction controlled by Democrats.
