'Jail Won’t Fix His Heart': NYU Student Defends Letting Rapists, Including Her Own, Stay Free

It’s not about fixing hearts, honey, it’s about protecting citizens from the worst predators. A society that won’t defend itself is doomed.

More like this fool every day:

Unfortunately, they are. One of them is now the Mayor of NYC. Several will be going to Congress from New York. One of them is about to win Governor of Wisconsin. It's possible yet another will be going to the Senate from Michigan. These people are gaining power. 

And where does this “compassion” lead?

Heartbroken mom of 12-year-old killed by stray bullet in The Bronx says NYC has only gotten safer for criminals

July 30, 2026 | 12:55pm

The anguished mother of a 12-year-old boy killed by a stray bullet outside a Bronx bodega said the city has gotten more dangerous because criminals no longer fear consequences,

Absolutely — hang her high

After it was announced as under consideration but before it was imposed, many — including here on this inconsequential blog — were denouncing the Wuhan Flu lockdown as, not ily useless, but predicting it would cause devastating harm to the country.. But “The science” prevailed.

Who was right, who was wrong? South Carolina’s governor took the lead in rejecting this invented panic by ending the lockdown, reopening the schools, and rejecting the “expert’s” demand for the mandatory wearing of useless paper face masks and the, as Fauci later admitted, based-on-nothing’ 6’ spacing rule.

Gov. McMaster refuses call for state mask rule, pushes reopening as SC ‘hot spot’ surges

On Wednesday, the Columbia Republican — who shut down the state’s economy in April and, just as quickly in May, reversed nearly every closure order he’d issued — urged school districts to restart full-time, in-person instruction by Labor Day week. The welfare of children was his top priority, he said.

…. Yet McMaster reiterated, again, he won’t be closing businesses back down or requiring South Carolinians to wear masks — two solutions other governors have adopted to slow the spread of COVID-19 in their states. A chorus of critics rang out — from health experts and hospital officials to religious and local government leaders and educators, who said clustering people together without a concrete plan of how to do it safely could result in higher daily case counts.

And many more of us were there long before

Not how I'd choose to spend my Saturday mornings, but ... whatever

1,600 - 1,700 residents drive (okay, it’s probably Manuel or Consuela behind the wheel), their rotted vegetables, discarded designer dresses, books, assorted broken toys and unwanted children to the dump every Saturday and leave cloaked in the warm glow of satisfaction knowing that they’ve just saved the world and stopped global warming. I don’t see any battery cars in the pictures accompanying the linked-to article, just CO2-spewing conventional vehicles, so there’s bound to be a substantial net reduction from that noble effort, but even virtue has its price.

Mamdani’s Judicial Advisory Panel Has One Glaring Omission: Jewish Members

“The odds of selecting 18 NYC lawyers at random and ending up with a panel containing no Jews are 0.55 to the 18th power — or roughly one chance in 47,149.”

Another X user put it even more bluntly:

Don’t be surprised that Mamdani—a man for whom a Judenrein Middle East is his political lodestar—also wants a Judenrein NYC. About 45% of NYC lawyers are Jewish. The odds of selecting 18 NYC lawyers at random and ending up with a panel containing no Jews are 0.55 to the 18th power—or roughly one chance in 47,149.

And it’s not about “Zionism.” There are plenty of anti-Zionist Jewish lawyers he could have picked, including thousands who, to their shame, voted for him. It’s about Jews. He hates Jews. It’s not complex.

Growing …

Jews Are Fleeing...Canada?

It's not just Canada, of course. Fewer and fewer countries are safe havens for Jews anymore. 

The Jewish exodus from European countries to Israel or, in some cases, to the United States seems to be accelerating as Muslim migration has been picking up for years in the same countries. ….

Canada, like most Western countries, has seen a huge spike in hostility to Jews and a worrying increase in violence directed against them. For a country that has been growing like hotcakes—its population has grown by about 30% over the past 25 years, almost entirely due to immigration—the outflow of high-income earners to greener pastures should be worrisome. 

It's importing people with worse education and fewer skills while it exports high-wage earners, and a good chunk of those are Jews. 

And larger still …

Unfortunately, the increasing hostility to Jews is not just a Canadian or European phenomenon. Nearly four years of relentless propaganda has left its mark on the United States as well, and you are starting to see that in election results.

Fauci takes another shot

Fauci Wrote About Not Admitting Vaccine’s Ineffectiveness Due to Mandates and Boosters

Catherine Salgado, PJ Media:

The nausea-inducing revelations from Anthony Fauci‘s daily logs during his time as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases just keep coming in. 

The Association of American Physicians highlighted the entry from Aug. 13, 2022. Note the date—this is long after the first round of COVID vaccines and mandates, and long after we should’ve had any COVID-19 restrictions at all. In that entry, Fauci complained about having to prevent the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) from admitting that the shots were not all that effective at preventing transmission of the virus, saying that he didn’t want this to get out because it would undermine the justifications for mandates and confidence in the upcoming boosters. What he did not explain is why it was so important to have the mandates and the boosters if they were not in fact effective at saving lives. He did, however, describe the truth as "damning."

At the time of Fauci's entry, Rochelle Walensky was the director of the CDC. Fauci angrily wrote about "drama" at the CDC, including Surgeon General Vivek Murthy. "After much going back and forth between the CDC and the other docs including me, Vivek [Murthy], Sheve Cha, and to some extent [Chief Science Officer of the White House COVID-19 Response Team] David Kessler, we thought we had gotten them pulled back from making the statement that the vaccines were not effective at all in preventing infection and transmission." Don't forget that Fauci had stressed in late 2021 in this same journal about his risk of infection from an event where everyone was vaccinated.

Fauci described any statement challenging the COVID vaccines' efficacy as "not entirely true" because there was "modest but declining protection," though he knew that the shots certainly were not effective on the level he'd testified to Congress and spoken of in the media for years. But Fauci's "issue" with honesty in this case was "this would conflict with the statement and effort of recommending that people get the updated bivalent BA.5 vaccine in September. In addition, it would undermine the DoJ's efforts at mandates for vaccines under certain circumstances." Read that again. His only concern is that people might not accept an admittedly ineffective shot or would challenge the legitimacy of vaccine mandates should the truth come out.

Continuing his log, Fauci said the CDC had agreed to a "more measured approach" on admitting cautiously that the vaccines were not 100% effective. "However, although they did this on their website, the MMWR [Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report] that cam [sic] out yesterday had the same original damning language." Yes, he called it "damning." Someone named Larry Horowitz went "off the wall" about the MMWR and called Fauci to say "this is the last straw and he was sure that when [White House Chief of Staff] Ron Klain gets back from Spain this weekend he would fire Rochelle ... Let us see what happens.....probably nothing." White House COVID-19 response coordinator Ashish Kumar Jha was of roughly the same opinion as Horowitz. They all thought Walensky eligible for firing because she admitted too much of the truth! Walensky did resign in 2023.

177 Indian Head Road, Riverside, has finally found a buyer and presumably will be selling for something approximately close to its $4.950 million guide price. The owners paid $4.250 for it in 2008 (on an original asking price of $5.925), so, ignoring inflation, they’ll be back where they started, with some hefty rental fees collected over the years.

Old, tired, and located in what used to be a saltwater marsh, I’ll be surprised if the current structure is still standing by spring.
