Fat Raise for City Council as NYC Plunges Toward Bankruptcy

As Zohran Mamdani blows other people’s money on “trans equity” programs, a new propaganda bureau, and chocolate condoms, his looting spree has already resulted in what he calls a “budget crisis of a historic magnitude.” The state is trying to bail out the city by applying moonbat math. Meanwhile, the City Council may grant itself a fat raise.

The New York Post reports:

Just days after they approved a gargantuan $126 billion city budget, they took up a measure to boost their salaries more than 18% retroactive to Jan. 1 — plus automatic 2% hikes every year thereafter.

The hikes would push members’ pay to $175,500, upper middle-class income territory and more than twice the city’s median income ($81,228).

Imagine how much these Marxists will pay themselves if they secure power nationally and can print all the money they want.

Illegal Alien Gets Wrist Slap for Killing Three

Even in California, illegal aliens are sometimes subject to the law — but only on the gentlest of terms. Readers will recall that Jashanpreet Singh killed three by recklessly driving a semi while drunk. He had acquired one of the 62,000 commercial driver’s licenses California has issued to foreigners who are in the country illegally. The New York Post reports on the outcome:

Singh, 21, an Indian migrant who entered the US under the Biden administration, smashed into seven other vehicles on the 10 Freeway in Ontario [California] in October 2025.

Clarence Nelson, Lisa Nelson, and Jaime Flores Garcia were killed.

Singh pleaded guilty to three counts of felony vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence for the crime last week. He faced up to 10 years in prison, but was sentenced Tuesday to four years and eight months.

For invading our country and killing three of us.

This isn’t the first time liberal authorities bestowed their benevolence upon Singh:

A report from the [US Department of Transportation] alleged that the state unlawfully upgraded Singh’s driver’s license in response to a federal law passed mere weeks before the crash that barred illegal migrants from holding commercial licenses.

ICE has lodged an immigration detainer. Anyone expect California to cooperate? If it is up to Gavin Newsom et al., Singh will be back behind the wheel within a few years.

Mike Johnson Gets It

As Ronald Reagan warned, freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. With the Democratic Socialists of America taking the reins of the Democratic Party, this could be the generation. The normally soft-spoken Mike Johnson sounds the alarm:

Not long ago, we built a vast nuclear arsenal and were willing to risk Armageddon to prevent communists from snuffing out liberty. Now, the Marxists attack from within. Already they have taken our greatest city. Speaker Johnson is correct; this is not a game. You can vote your way into socialism, but you have to shoot your way out of it — if you ever get out of it.

Transgender Pol Arrested for Frightening Home Invasion

As the Democratic Party swirls down a maelstrom into madness, even a former state Democratic Party Vice Chair can squeeze his way into the Transsexual Violence Hall of Horrors. KPNX presents a pol who calls himself Brianna Westbrook:

Westbrook, 41, was arrested on July 10 after [his] former partner contacted police following an incident at a Phoenix residence, court records show.

The liberal media’s pronouns require correcting because “Brianna” is a man.

The reporting party told police Westbrook allegedly “pushed [his] way” into the residence, holding a knife and duct tape. The two then allegedly “wrestled” until Westbrook pushed the other person onto the couch. The victim then screamed out and asked Westbrook “to stop” before Westbrook allegedly “took off running,” records show.

The victim is an actual woman. In addition to the knife and tape, police found gloves. Sounds like something awful was narrowly avoided – so awful as to qualify Mr. Westbrook for the Hall.

Westbrook had been a vice chair of the Arizona Democratic Party and has run for elected office multiple times. …

Westbrook is an Arizona political trailblazer. [He] was the highest-ranking transgender person in the state Democratic Party.

Democrats have been blazing trails to where no sane person would want to go.

Gateway Pundit has more on Mr. Westbrook’s career:

According to ballotready.org, Westbrook’s professional experience includes serving as the Southwest Regional Co-Chair of the Democratic Socialists of America Immigrant Rights National Working Group from 2019 to the present, and a past stint as Arizona Democratic Party Vice Chair from 2019 to 2021.

In 2018, he was arrested for trespassing at then-Senator Jeff Flake’s office in Phoenix. With a résumé like that, expect to hear more from him.

Almost All Murderers of Irish Women Are Now Foreign Born

In order to enlist half the population in their Cultural Marxist coalition, progressives purport to be champions of women — even though half of the babies they kill by abortion would have grown up to be women. Not even abortion is as precious to them as the crown jewel of the liberal agenda, the Great Replacement. That has not been working out so well for women either:

Grok backs up the finding by Gript.

As noted at PJ Media:

It is very difficult to find reliable statistics on migrant crime in Europe because the majority of the national authorities and many of the local authorities specifically try to cover up that reality in order to justify continued mass migration. But whenever data from a criminal category or city actually slips through the cracks of the cover-up, it always tells a very disturbing story. The reality is that immigrants, most especially Muslim male immigrants, have long been driving crime in many European countries, particularly violent and sexual crime. That certainly seems to be true this year in Ireland when it comes to female murder victims.

Jamey Carney is a recent case in point.

The total number of women killed by open borders will never be known. But at least we should all agree that it is too high.

Stolen Valor: Wes Moore’s Doubtful Bronze Star

Not all Democrat pols are effete weenies. Maryland Governor Wes Moore has a Bronze Star. Oh wait…

Via FOX45 Baltimore:

Spotlight on Maryland has learned that Moore’s pursuit of the Bronze Star medal in 2024 relied heavily on political favors, special access, inaccurate information about his Afghanistan deployment and involved the deliberate concealment of key facts regarding Moore’s end-of-deployment awards in 2006.

Moore claimed he had it before actually he did:

Moore’s false claim of having a Bronze Star was first reported by FOX45’s Mikenzie Frost in 2022.

When caught out, Moore characterized it as an honest mistake. He had been approved for a Bronze Star, but all the paperwork had mysteriously vanished. So he went back and got a friend in the military to award him new one.

Commanders have two years to submit a soldier for an award following the act or period of service being recognized. Moore was 16 years past that deadline.

No worries. He had a member of Congress step in — not a Maryland member but then Senator Laphonza Butler (D-CA), who was connected to Moore through a close relationship with Cackling Kamala Harris.

Seven days after Butler’s request reached the Secretary of the Army’s office, the Army approved Moore’s Bronze Star on Nov. 19, 2024.

Normally, award requests take 6–15 months. But Big Government can be highly efficient when properly motivated.

Retired Army Lt. Col. James “Jamie” Gottschling has produced a photograph showing that Moore was awarded an Army Commendation Medal (ARCOM), not a bronze star. If any paperwork was really lost, it was for the ARCOM.

Asked whether Moore did anything that, in his view, would have merited a Bronze Star, Gottschling said, “No.”

The ARCOM disqualifies Moore for the Bronze Star he received 18 years later.

Army regulations prohibit a soldier from receiving two decorations for the same act, achievement or period of service.

But that’s only if Democrats aren’t thinking of running you for president.

Democrat Victory: ICE to Stop Conducting Vehicle Stops

Posted on by

Step 1: Weaponize your car against ICE officers, like moonbat agitator Renee Good and numerous foreign nationals (e.g., Silverio Villegas González, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, Tiago Alexandre Sousa-Martins, Joan Sebastian Guerrero). Step 2: Stage angry demonstrations when officers respond appropriately. Step 3: Get your way.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been ordered to temporarily stop conducting vehicle stops in the wake of two deadly shootings in Texas and Maine, sources told ABC News.

The Texas shooting refers to Araujo. As for Maine, readers will recall that before any dust had settled, a highly aggressive mob of moonbats laid siege to the offices of Susan Collins. Maybe it worked:

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin gave the directive, a law enforcement source told ABC News, after he spoke with Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, who said she urged Mullin to “cease all non-urgent vehicle stops.”

We’ll see how temporary this turns out to be.

We know from the Black Lives Matter experience that ICE agents are not the only law enforcement officers liberals would like to prevent from doing their job. Soon regular police won’t be allowed to pull over criminals. After all, the criminals might get hurt.
