No enemy too small

Jason Nguyen proves he has fully assimilated

Utah television station goes after paramedic who donated $10 to Kyle Rittenhouse defense fund

ABC4 News investigative reporter Jason Nguyen went to the man’s home “to get his side of things, but those inside the home didn’t want to talk.” No, you went to his home to do an ambush interview because of your political orientation and you wanted to shame him over $10, when he did nothing wrong. I will not be repeating the man’s name, because it’s disgusting that they ever published it.

The network then harassed the man’s employer for comment on the evil, $10 donation. His employers at the West Valley City Fire Department confirmed the man was an employee and said they would be “conducting an investigation into this matter” but the action was his personal action “not [that] of West Valley City.”

According to the station, the man “wouldn’t be placed on administrative leave” during this investigation. Investigation for what? They’re trying to destroy his life over a $10 donation. I hope ABC4 and Nguyen are proud of themselves for being stalkers and putting a target on this poor guy’s back, exposing him to radical leftists.

So, I assume they’re next going to go calling on Kamala Harris for donating to a bail fund that bailed out people arrested during the riots in Minneapolis?

Where’s Twitter to shut down this use of actual, hacked materials? Remember Twitter’s justification for blocking the NY Post url of the Hunter Biden story was the lie that the emails were hacked. Remember they banned Project Veritas for this exact act of standing in front of someone’s home. But Twitter is missing in action here. This ABC station or Nguyen are in no fear of being suspended.

Mr. Nguyen is likely a descendant of Vietnamese refugees who fled the communist totalitarians when they invaded South Vietnam. He’s repaid his parents and the country that offered them shelter by becoming a woke totalitarian himself. Shame on him, shame on the hacks at this television station for approving and airing this story, and shame on ABC. As for Twitter….

three dead on I-84, sturbridge mass

Three dead after wrong-way driver hits east-bound car on I-84

It happened “around 6 PM” near Sturbridge. I made a flying visit down to Riverside yesterday to be with brothers, Susie, and my miraculously discovered niece Candice Dixon, and headed back to Maine at 4 PM. Reaching New Haven, I made an impulsive decision to divert from my usual route: I-91 to I-84, and instead continued further east to I-395, then north to Worcester. On that original route, it is almost exactly two hours to Sturbridge from Riverside, and I would have been there at 6 PM.

I’m not saying that I would have been the victim of that (probably drunk) driver, but when I read of this just now, it did strike me that we often over-focus on some risks, and ignore the risks that we’ve grown accustomed to, like driving cars.

For instance, we’re far, far more likely to die driving to the airport than during the flight itself, but I, at least, always grip my armrest a little bit tightly during takeoff.

So it goes.

“Round Up the Usual Suspects”

The second Anti-Asian attacker is immediately released. “My hands are tied” says judge.

Suspect Ricardo Hernandez, 32 — who faces three hate-crime charges in the attack on the unnamed cop on a Long Island City train platform around 5:30 p.m. Saturday — has at least 12 prior arrests under his belt.

At Hernandez’s arraignment over the attempted push onto the tracks, Queens Supreme Court Justice Louis Nock said the state’s bail-reform measures barred him from holding Hernandez in jail. 

“My hands are tied because under the new bail rules, I have absolutely no authority or power to set bail on this defendant for this alleged offense,” the judge said.

According to police, Hernandez confronted the undercover cop on the N train platform at 31st Street and 39th Avenue in Dutch Kills and tried to shove him onto the tracks.

“That’s why you people are getting beat up,” Hernandez allegedly snarled. “I got nothing to lose.

“I will f–k you up!” Hernandez added, according to cops. “This is my house.”

Both attacks involved black/ hispanics attacking Asian-American NYPD undercover agents, put on the streets as a bit of Kabuki theater: '‘message — we care” (snicker). The cops draw attacks, they arrest the attacker, then the thugs are released back on the street. This is how a “reimagined” criminal justice system operates.

Shoving a man towards the subway tracks while threatening him is both assault and battery, but under the New York Democrats’ new law, because the victim didn’t end up under the wheels of a train it’s no harm, no foul.

Here’s the first attack, which occurred April 9th:

The cop was patrolling at 33rd Street and 7th Avenue at around 4:30 p.m. when Juvian Rodriguez, 35, allegedly approached, The Post has learned.

Not knowing he was dealing with one of New York’s finest, Rodriguez began snarling, “Go back to China before you end up in a graveyard!”

“I’m gonna slap the holy piss out of you and stab you in the face,” Rodriguez allegedly continued. 

The undercover promptly alerted a precinct cop, who busted Rodriquez, an ex-con who according to sources has two dozen arrests on his rap sheet, including for narcotics and assault.

His last words to the undercover — before the cuffs went on — allegedly were, “I don’t give a f– if I go to jail.”

Mr. Rodriguez was right to be unconcerned; He was out within 12 hours

Because of last year’s state bail reform law, attacks that cause no injury are exempt from bail in New York — even if the victims were targeted for their race, gender, religion, disability or sexual orientation.

Previously, setting bail would have been left to the discretion of the judge.

“This is the revolving door justice system,” said Michael Alcazar, a retired NYPD detective who is now an adjunct professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice.

“The plain-clothes officers are out there doing their jobs to get the criminal element off the streets. But we hit this roadblock as usual, where we arrest them, charge them, and then in this case — despite a lengthy rap sheet — the suspect is free to roam,” he added.

Having seized power, they won't give it up until we smash their cold, stiff fingers

Instagram yanked that post and threatened to permanently ban Babylon Bee co-founder because he dared question the need to wear masks outdoors.

“False Information” is whatever the 13-year-olds at Instagram disagree with. They may still resent, but learned from their mommies’ shrieking: “Don’t you argue with me!”

Will they also ban Slate for daring to raise the question?

As usual

Here’s the point: the man had been wandering through the gated community for several days, harassing women, trying to kidnap a baby, etc., and was the talk of the neighborhood, naturally. The sergeant accosted him and told him to scat. Oh, the humanity! Question for us: would we have reacted differently? (Points off if you answer, “I’d just shoot the bastard”). A Belle Haven macho man would have stirred the martinis while his wife called security, but normal people?

Stanford: to insist that there are two sexes makes one transphobic and ant-Semitic and racist.

ex uno multi

Stanford University student staff recently issued a statement condemning the author of Harry Potter for her alleged “transphobic, anti-Semitic, and racist” comments.

Students living in the Harry Potter-themed dorm were told in late March that J.K. Rowling’s views on transgenderism are unacceptable, according to a column in the Stanford Review.

The statement was made during the dorm’s first virtual house meeting, Stanford student Maxwell Meyer wrote.

The statement read: “We want to acknowledge that J.K. Rowling has made many transphobic, anti-Semitic, and racist statements over the past year. Her beliefs do not reflect our values as a house, and we want to make it clear that we do not tolerate comments like hers in this dorm. Our theme … is intended to make this space safe and fun for you this quarter.”

The College Fix reached out to Meyer, who declined comment.

Meyer argued in his column that the claims against Rowling are inaccurate, pointing out that she has been a longtime supporter of LGBT rights while also acknowledging biological sex. He also asserted that Rowling has made no racist or anti-Semitic statements.

“The scapegoating of a children’s fantasy author for fabricated claims of racism is a very bad sign at a university, even if she’s very wealthy and secure in her livelihood, as Rowling is,” he wrote. “But I’m not worried about protecting a billionaire; I’m worried for the students who are expected to learn in an environment where false claims of bigotry are not just acceptable, but official policy.”

“We are now witnessing the mass hallucination of racism,” he wrote.

Meyer also pointed out what he contends is “the most chilling part of the house theme statement: the implied threat that if you don’t join the witch hunt, you’ll become the next target.”

“…We weren’t asked whether J.K. Rowling’s beliefs reflect our values, we were told that they don’t. No examples of ‘comments like hers’ were given, but we were still warned that they won’t be tolerated,” Meyer wrote.

“Just what sorts of comments do they mean — perhaps the ‘anti-Semitic and racist’ ones that they made up?”

Meyer ends his column by questioning whether he will be punished for a “thoughtcrime” if he, like Rowling, believes in “both equal rights for trans people and the reality of sex as a category.”

“If that now constitutes thoughtcrime at Stanford, then I should probably start packing my bags. I think we deserve to know the position of university leadership on this issue, including the faculty and administrators who are responsible for our residential education. Is Stanford a safe space for thought, or from it?”

The College Fix also reached out to university media relations to ask about this situation and the department did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

[Rowling] defended her original tweet in a thread, saying:

“The idea that women like me, who’ve been empathetic to trans people for decades, feeling kinship because they’re vulnerable in the same way as women – ie, to male violence – ‘hate’ trans people because they think sex is real and has lived consequences – is a nonsense.”

I find it a bit disconcerting that students who claim to be young adults capable of rational thought choose to live a Harry Potter-themed dormitory (replete with safe rooms, one assumes, in case they get scared by sightings of Lord Voldemort or a conservative on campus), but there’s obviously a bigger issue here.

Popular new mask says ‘I’m not a Democrat, I just forgot to take off my mask when I left the store“

"We found that many people just accidentally left their masks on, and everyone who saw them assumed they were Democrats, which is obviously devastating," said one of the inventors of the mask, Bill F. Parton. "Now, people who glare at you for thinking you're a Democrat will take a second look, read your mask, and chuckle at you for forgetting to take off your mask. They might even give you a hug for being such a cool guy."

The manufacturers are working on a mask that automatically destroys itself in a blaze of fire the moment you step out of Target, but there are still a few bugs to work out.

Never let a good crisis go to waste

doc Holliday

They're not even trying to hide it anymore.

Think about it for a sec ... what is President Biden even trying to say here? "We can't just build back to the way things were before" ... what do you mean, like, the most prosperous economy in the history of the world?

Businesses booming?

Lowest unemployment for minorities in history?

What exactly is so scary and unacceptable about the way things were before the pandemic?

"We need to reimagine and build a new American economy," he says. Translation: We need to reduce liberty even further, get people more and more dependent on the government, ratchet up taxes through the roof, keep the fear-machine pumping, and usher full-fledged socialism into America.

When the president himself makes it so glaringly obvious that the left sees the pandemic as an opportunity to bring socialism to America, it makes it very hard to trust anything they say about the pandemic. Because to them it's a tool, a weapon, a means of accomplishing a goal. The pandemic benefits them. And that should concern all of us.

That's why they keep the fear turned up to 10. A scared (and cowardly) populace will readily hand over liberty to the government if it makes them feel safer.

The Democrats' pandemic plans are now as clear as they could be. The question is: Has this been their plan all along?

That question is rhetorical.

Chris Cuomo: Police reform will come only when white people’s kids start getting killed

To do that parents will have to put their kids on the street, armed and in the company of drug dealers, at 2:30 in the morning. Will Cuomo be the first to shove his children out the door?
