Illegal Aliens Displace Students From School

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:

Qualify as Oppressed by Obesity in NYC

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.

NYC Racial Equity Chief Calls for Genocide of Jews

Sorry, Jews. No slice of the racial equity pie for you:

New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ new appointee for chair and executive director of the city’s Commission on Racial Equity has a distinguished history of spewing antisemitic rhetoric. …

Linda Tigani, who earned more than $140,000 in 2022 as acting chief equity and strategy officer for the city’s Health Department, has shared a number of posts on X that appear to be antisemitic.

In the aftermath of the October 7 terror atrocities, Tigani has been posting pro-Hamas propaganda and shrieking the slogan “FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA,” which is a call for the eradication of Jews from their homeland.

You don’t get any equity from our moonbat overlords if people who are categorized as browner than you have been torturing your children to death.

95-Year-Old Vet Kicked Out of NYC Nursing Home

If ever a story was emblematic of liberal rule:

A Korean War veteran feared he would be left ‘on the curb’ after he was ordered out of his Staten Island nursing home to make way for the migrants overwhelming New York City.

Frank Tammaro, 95, was given six weeks to get out of the Island Shores Senior Residence when it was sold to city authorities [in August].

Joe Biden, sanctuary city mayor Eric Adams, and the rest are displacing us from our whole country. Why shouldn’t this include nursing homes? Why should people who fought for the country they hate enough to erase be spared?

Reports Tammaro,

‘Everything was done behind closed doors – we didn’t have a chance to actually make any attempt to stop them because there wasn’t enough time.’

The entire country is running out of time. If we are going to stop them, it will have to be soon.

NYC Alone Spends $Billions to House Illegal Aliens

The amount of our money that our Democrat rulers waste on red carpet treatment for the Third Worlders they import to displace us is too vast to grasp. In one sanctuary city alone, the hotel bill for the next 3 years goes into 10 figures. New York City is extending its contract with local hotels to house the deluge of “refugees”:

And the revised contract’s projected new total $1.365 billion price tag — nearly five times what the original deal called for — would just pay the rental fees to more than 100 hotels converted into emergency migrant shelters.

It doesn’t include the cost of city facilities and other rented sites housing homeless asylum seekers pouring into the Big Apple by the thousands every week.

Here’s a small surprise:

Adams has close ties to the hotel industry. The union representing 31,000 hotel workers — the Hotel Trades Council — was one of the first unions to endorse his campaign for mayor in March 2021.

The privileged few with a seat at the table actually benefit from Democrat rule. Otherwise, it would have been overthrown by now.

It was unclear Monday if the fat hotel contract is part of the estimated total $12 billion that Mayor Eric Adams has said the migrant crisis could cost the city over three years — absent additional financial aid from Washington and Albany.

Forget Albany; not even leftists like Kathy Hochul can wring this kind of money out of taxpayers, many of whom have been escaping New York anyway. The federal government will step in. It doesn’t have the money either, being over $33 TRILLION in debt, largely thanks to Biden. But it can print more. That way, everyone who worked hard to set aside savings gets to pay for criminals from faraway countries to be treated like royalty in New York City hotels.

The View Gorgons Want Illegals Out, Blame Global Warming

Wade deep enough into the moonbat fever swamps and you will come to the shrieking Gorgons of The View. It is recorded in New York City, where the leftist mayor has come to regret stepping on the rake of his sanctuary city policy. Like Eric Adams, the Gorgons want illegal aliens to go ruin someone else’s town.

Adams largely blames the crisis on Gregg Abbott, one of the few politicians who has taken constructive steps to deal with it. Medusa Behar knows to blame the mess liberals made on the fabricated climate crisis:

NYC to Use Drones to Spy on Labor Day Barbecues

Utopia may not be well governed, but it will be well monitored. In case your phone isn’t keeping close enough tabs on you, our moonbat rulers also have drones:

Those attending outdoor parties or barbecues in New York City this weekend may notice an uninvited guest looming over their festivities: a police surveillance drone.

The New York City police department plans to pilot the unmanned aircrafts in response to complaints about large gatherings, including private events, over Labor Day weekend, officials announced Thursday.

Large gatherings are frowned upon by authorities, unless they are Black Lives Matter riots, in which case they are lavishly rewarded.

Mayor Eric Adams, a former police captain, has said he wants to see police further embrace the “endless” potential of drones…

Their potential for gathering information is obvious, and knowledge is power. Also, the increasing presence of drones can help habituate us to totalitarian rule as it consolidates. As J.D. Rucker notes,

They want us to expect Big Brother to be there, just barely out of reach, so even the most freedom-loving among us start to accept that we’re always being watched. Just as many patriotic Americans masked up on their way to get jabbed even though they didn’t really want to do either, so too will many Americans reluctantly accept this type of surveillance if they’re exposed to it enough.

Mind this is taking place in the anarchotyrannical dystopia of New York City, where actual crime has largely been effectively legalized. Once again, public safety is not the motive.

Fourteen US Cities Commit to Poverty and Tyranny

Abject poverty is bad enough when it is imposed by circumstance. Worse still is when it is inflicted by our liberal ruling class out of sheer moonbattery:

Fourteen major American cities are part of a globalist climate organization known as the “C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group,” which has an “ambitious target” by the year 2030 of “0 kg [of] meat consumption,” “0 kg [of] dairy consumption,” “3 new clothing items per person per year,” “0 private vehicles” owned, and “1 short-haul return flight (less than 1500 km) every 3 years per person.”

C40’s dystopian goals can be found in its “The Future of Urban Consumption in a 1.5°C World” report, which was published in 2019 and reportedly reemphasized in 2023. The organization is headed and largely funded by Democrat billionaire Michael Bloomberg.

Uncoincidentally, Bloomberg has spent many $millions attacking the Second Amendment, the main purpose of which is to defend us from tyranny.

Nearly 100 cities across the world make up the organization, and its American members include Austin, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans, New York City, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Portland, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and Seattle.

Local leaders have begun imposing restrictions in pursuit of these malevolent objectives. For example, in NYC,

Eric Adams announced that the city will place caps on the amount of meat and dairy served by city institutions, such as schools and prisons.

Kooks like Adams need to pick up the pace in the race to impose poverty and tyranny in the name of the weather. Europe is pulling ahead of them:

The U.K. has banned the sale of new gas-powered vehicles after 2030, and France has banned short-haul flights “to cut carbon emissions.”

The goal is to reduce us to a Third World standard of living, while restricting fundamental liberties like freedom of movement and property rights. Though the implementation may be local, the design is globalist:

In 2020, the World Economic Forum (which promotes C40 Cities on its website) introduced “The Great Reset,” which seeks to use the Covid-19 pandemic as a point from which to launch a global reset of society to supposedly combat climate change. This reset, however, has far more to do with social control than it does with the climate. If globalist leaders truly cared about the environment, they wouldn’t be chartering private jets or owning massive, energy-consuming mansions on the coast in California, which, by climate fanatics’ own calculation, will soon be underwater.

Few could be dumb enough to take the supposed “climate crisis” at face value. Yet in the absence of resistance, the agenda continues to move forward.

To get an idea of how cartoonishly malevolent these maniacs are, consider WEF-linked “bioethicist” Dr. Matthew Liao:

Liao has proposed the idea of scientists genetically modify humans to be allergic to meat. Liao has also discussed shrinking the physical size of humans via eugenics or hormone injections so they consume fewer resources.

When they have us helpless enough, they can experiment at will.

If demanding we surrender our freedom and standard of living in the name of the weather stops getting traction, social engineers can always fall back on Covid-19. You thought that was over? Why would they let it be over?

New York’s New Brand

Just as a fish rots from the head, a nation rots from its largest city. Let’s check in on progressive progress in New York:

The city is suffering a crime epidemic so bad even ice cream and laundry detergent are security-tagged in shops, and endless anti-business measures are driving down earnings, but politicians appear more preoccupied by the culture wars: woke causes and green issues, such as air pollution.

Yet for all the concern about air quality, the authorities have only themselves to blame for the all-pervasive stench of contraband weed on its streets, a consequence of officials’ disastrous tinkering with cannabis legalisation on the grounds of ‘racial equity’, which has led to the proliferation of 1,400 illicit marijuana shops.

And a city that prides itself on being the ultimate temple of capitalism now finds itself with 22 per cent of its office space lying empty, a stunning figure that is likely to get worse following the introduction of a congestion charge of up to $23 (£17.60) for driving into midtown Manhattan.

Those still willing to come into the city are expected to take the subway — which entails risking their lives:

Two weeks ago, even Alvin Bragg, Manhattan’s Left-leaning District Attorney and the chief architect of a controversial criminal justice policy aimed at keeping down jail numbers that has seen crime rates soar, admitted: ‘When one of my family members gets on the train, I, too, get a knot in my stomach.’

George Soros installed Bragg to drive crime higher. While doubling the number of felons freed without bail, Bragg prosecutes the heroic Daniel Penny for defending subway passengers from a violent criminal.

Last year City Hall said it would remove any homeless people who behaved in an ‘unsafe’ manner from the subway, but reportedly dropped the plan because the shelters where it planned to house them are full of the migrants and asylum-seekers pouring into the city, most from Latin America and Africa, and often bussed in from southern states after crossing the Mexican border.

Not long ago, Eric Adams proclaimed New York would continue to be a sanctuary city. Looks like he has changed his mind amidst the predictable tidal wave of illegal aliens.

As for the systematically demoralized police,

Some speculate that they’ve given up bothering to enforce the law because they know anyone they arrest is likely be released without charge.

NYC didn’t have to be like this:

It’s all a long way from the 1990s when, under Republican Mayor Rudy Giuliani, New York drastically cut raging violent crime by refusing to ignore even minor offences in a policy known as ‘zero-tolerance’ or ‘Broken Windows’.

The transformation after Giuliani took over from David Dinkins was astonishing. But it has been downhill ever since America’s Mayor left office.

Like formerly affluent Detroit before it, New York has entered the Democrat Death Spiral. As the sane and productive escape, ever more radical liberals will be elected by an ever more degenerate population until no one is left who isn’t living off welfare.

Remember the heartbreaking ending of Planet of the Apes, when Charleton Heston encounters the ruins of Lady Liberty in what must once have been New York? Reality has turned out sadder still:

New York Bestows Oppression Privilege Upon the Obese

Congratulations to the morbidly obese. New York City has bestowed upon them the most cherished of privileges; they are officially oppressed:

New York City Mayor Eric Adams signed a bill Friday declaring obesity a new legally protected class.

The oppressed are first hired, last fired, and go to the front of the line for goodies passed out by Big Government.

The legislation signed by the New York mayor bars individuals from being discriminated against for their height and weight for access to employment or public housing.

This is great news for white people who don’t like it at the bottom of the caste system, but who have too much self-respect to pretend to be homosexual. Now the racially and sexually incorrect can eat their way up the social ladder.

Airlines aren’t going to like where this is heading. Barks Adams:

“We all deserve the same access to employment, housing, and public accommodations, regardless of our appearance.”

That means protected groups get priority access not only to jobs and housing, but “public accommodations.” Let’s hope LaGuardia will still let planes land that haven’t been redesigned specifically for the Lizzo contingent, in accordance with demands.

The morbidly overweight are not the only beneficiaries. Let’s not forget lawyers:

New York City Republican City Councilman Joseph Borelli warned in April the new law will “empower people to sue anyone and everything.”

Despite the superior status plus-size people have achieved, reality continues to be fatphobic, punishing obesity with susceptibility to all manner of deadly diseases (cancer, heart disease, diabetes, etc.). But that doesn’t matter, because under liberal rule, reality has been canceled.

Paid $11.25 Million for Being Late 47 Times

Racist oppression works great: show up late for work 47 times, get fired, collect $11.25 million. Thanks to the politicization of the judicial system, the looting spree known as “racial justice” has no limits:

High-end gym chain Equinox has been ordered to pay $11.25 million to one of their former trainers after her lawyers convinced a New York jury that her firing was racially motivated and not because she showed up for work late 47 times.

Robynn Europe lives near Coney Island. Eventually, she showed up for work at a gym on the Upper East Side. She does not deny frequently being late. Nonetheless:

The jury found that Europe, a former professional bodybuilder, had been subjected to a hostile work environment and unlawfully fired her on the basis of both her race and gender.

What do you expect? These people chose Eric Adams to be their mayor.

Europe claims that a subordinate made racist and sexist remarks. Also, a manager at Equinox allegedly obliged a customer’s request for a white trainer. This manager had already been fired.

Sorry, Caucasian readers. There is no way for you to attain the precious privilege of racial oppression for yourselves. The same activist lawyers, liberal judges, and urban Democrat juries that pick the winners pick you for the losers.

Profiles in Liberal Education: Shellyne Rodriguez

Where moonbats prevail (e.g., the federal government under Democrat rule, the education establishment), being a left-wing black woman is the only qualification needed to attain any job. If it is enough for the Supreme Court, it is enough for a college professor — even for psychopaths like Shellyne Rodriguez:

A Manhattan college professor flipped out on a group of students who set up an information table opposing abortion inside the school building — cursing and tossing their pamphlets…

Shellyne Rodriguez, an adjunct professor, told the pro-life students they were “triggering” her students by tabling inside Hunter College in Manhattan earlier this month. …

“You’re not educating s–t. This is f–king propaganda,” the art professor told the students tabling on May 2. “What are you going to do like anti-trans next?”

Resisting the transsexual agenda would be an even greater thought crime than opposing abortion.

She then pushed the anti-abortion materials off the table toward the students while exclaiming “f–k this s–t” and walked off…

The PSC Graduate Center is a labor union representing City University of New York professors. On behalf of the liberal establishment, it endorsed Rodriguez’s behavior:

“Her actions to shut down the tabling were fully justified, and are part of a long and celebrated CUNY legacy of confronting groups such as military recruiters who disseminate misleading information,” the group said in a letter of support.

Affirmative Action hires can still get fired, but they have to push the envelope farther still:

The Post knocked on the door of [Shellyne Rodriguez’s] Bronx apartment Tuesday morning — a day after she made headlines for flipping out on pro-life students at Hunter College.

“Get the f–k away from my door, or I’m gonna chop you up with this machete!” the manic adjunct art professor shouted from behind her closed door just moments after veteran reporter Reuven Fenton identified himself.

Seconds later, Rodriguez barged out and alarmingly put the blade to the reporter’s neck.

The reporter wasted no time getting out of there, but Rodriguez followed, brandishing the machete, shrieking,

“Get the f–k off the block! Get the f–k out of here, yo!”

She chased him all the way to his car. No worries about police interfering; this happened in New York City under Eric Adams.

However, the optics were bad enough for Rodriguez to be viewed by educrats as a liability to the cause of moonbattery, so she was fired. She may turn up in DC next time Biden has an open cabinet position.

In the meantime, she is suing the NYPD for oppressing her during the Black Lives Matter riots, in which she unsurprisingly participated. She says she suffered nerve damage when police had to restrain her with zip ties.

The lawsuit adds that the injuries also impacted “her ability to make art.”

So she won’t be hurting moneywise. A jury of NYC liberals will see to that by looting themselves on her behalf.

Social Service Kiosks for Thieves

How could progressives keep progressing after the ultraleftist Bill de Blasio appeared to take moonbattery to the last possible extreme? By plunging headlong into self-parody, as personified by current New York City Mayor Eric Adams. He has issued new proposals to confront the rampant crime liberal policy has predictably produced:

The Democrat mayor’s plan, laid out in bullet point format during a local Fox 5 broadcast, included providing “De-escalation training for retail employees,” and putting kiosks in stores that connect “would-be thieves” to social service.

The Babylon Bee wishes it had come up with this story.

Any sane people who have not yet evacuated the rotting Big Apple are encouraged to escape before it collapses even further into dysfunctional farce.

Note that Democrats respond to the shoplifting epidemic by reducing punishment. For whatever malevolent reasons, they want more crime.

Iconic Roosevelt Hotel Used to Facilitate Invasion

Good news for homeless vets. They might not be kicked out to make room for the invaders crossing the undefended border anymore now that our rulers have found better accommodations for them:

The 1,000-room Roosevelt Hotel in Midtown will become the city’s main “asylum seeker arrival center” and shelter for a wave of new migrants, Mayor Eric Adams announced Saturday — confirming a Post report from last week.

The iconic hotel is a located in the heart of America’s largest city, near Grand Central Terminal.

The Roosevelt has been the backdrop for a string of Hollywood films — including “Maid in Manhattan,” “Malcolm X,” “Wall Street,” “The French Connection,” “The Irishman” and “Man on a Ledge.”

It was also the setting for Guy Lombardo’s New Year’s Eve ballroom performances for three decades until 1959.

Now the hotel — which was shut down during Covid hysteria and is owned by Pakistan International Airlines — features in America’s self-imposed demise:

Migrants at the center will have access to legal, medical and reconnection services, and can also be placed in a shelter or humanitarian relief center if needed.

Use of the hotel to facilitate the invasion will cost a reported $225 million over 3 years. Good thing American taxpayers still have plenty of money — for the time being.

Beginning later this week, the Roosevelt Hotel will open up 175 rooms for children and families, until it is scaled to approximately 850 rooms, the release said.

An additional 100 to 150 rooms will be reserved for migrants before transitioning to other locations.

Never in history has an invasion force received such red carpet treatment from a conquered country. Maybe they will appreciate our servility and treat the vanquished population mercifully. Then again, maybe they will have the sense to despise us for it.
