LAPD Launches New Task Force To Deal With Biden’s Illegal Alien Crime

By William Teach March 19, 2024 – 6:45 am

Hey, it’s just property, right? It’s a small price to pay for being respectful to all the migrants escaping something or other

LAPD forming task force to target organized teams of foreign burglars

The LAPD said Tuesday it was forming a task force with other police agencies to target organized groups of burglars who visit the U.S. from foreign countries, and have been responsible for an increasing number of home break-ins.

“I can tell you that we have a significant increase in burglaries from organized groups that are outside this country, that are coming into the country, and they are targeting high end residents,” Chief Dominic Choi said Tuesday.

“And, we are addressing that specifically in a task force fashion, through multi-agencies,” he said.

Choi told the Board of Police Commissioners that while the number of property crimes reported to police have declined slightly in early 2024, the number of home burglaries have remained nearly unchanged from this time last year.

Did you catch that? The LAPD now cares, well, most likely, is being told by the Powers That Be to care, about property crime because it’s happening to rich and powerful folks. They didn’t care all that much when it was retail stores being hit. Or were told not to care. When the rich get hit, it’s time to join forces! And this is on top of you knowing that with the defund the police movement there are a whole lot less cops on the LAPD, and they will make sure that the rich neighborhoods get all the protection needed, while the middle and working class suffer.

And this is thanks to illegals that shouldn’t even be in the U.S.

These types of burglary rings, often described as South American Theft Groups, are not new to Southern California.

Authorities in Orange County announced last year a series of arrests and prosecutions related to so-called burglary tourism, and the District Attorney in Ventura County has a dedicated prosecutor working on the problem.

Yeah, well, you Democrats voted for this, so, enjoy! So far, 903 homes have been hit this year.

Your Fault: Cherry Blossoms Almost Hit Earliest Record Peak

By William Teach March 18, 2024 – 3:00 pm

This could have been solved if you had moved into a tiny home, switched to taking the bus to work, and replacing your toilet with an outhouse (behind the Washington Post paywall, you can read it in full here)

Cherry blossoms hit near-record early peak, a sign of climate change

Exceptionally warm March weather propelled Washington’s cherry blossoms to their second-earliest peak bloom in more than a century of records Sunday, reflecting the growing influence of human-caused climate change on the famed trees.

“PEAK BLOOM! PEAK BLOOM! PEAK BLOOM! Did we say PEAK BLOOM?!,” the National Park Service wrote on X at 4 p.m. Sunday. “The blossoms are opening & putting on a splendid spring spectacle.”

But it is horrible because this is early!

Sunday’s peak bloom at the Tidal Basin, about two weeks earlier than normal, tied with 2000 as the second earliest on record; only the March 15, 1990, bloom came sooner in observations that date to 1921. This year’s peak bloom was so early, it preceded the official start of the National Cherry Blossom Festival, which runs from March 20 to April 14, and was also ahead of the earliest projections.

Of course, the record only goes back to 1921, when the trees were planted as a gift from Japan. And it is totally expected that they will bloom earlier because Holocene warm periods happen, not too mention the massive Urban Heat Island effect from the whole and growing D.C. area. And, really, they don’t even try to prove that it is Your Fault anymore, they are required by cult dogma to include something about ‘climate change’ in at least 51% of all articles.

Supreme Court To Hear Arguments On Government Censorship Of Online Opinions They Don’t Like

By William Teach March 18, 2024 – 10:30 am

I love the way the AP terms this in their headline

Supreme Court weighs how far federal officials can go to combat controversial posts on hot topics

Realistically, it should be “none”. If the government wants to attempt to provide counter information, feel free, though, that would be pretty disturbing if they are replying to a standalone post/tweet/whatever.

In a busy term that could set standards for free speech in the digital age, the Supreme Court on Monday is taking up a dispute between Republican-led states and the Biden administration over how far the federal government can go to combat controversial social media posts on topics including COVID-19 and election security.

The justices are hearing arguments in a lawsuit filed by Louisiana, Missouri and other parties accusing officials in the Democratic administration of leaning on the social media platforms to unconstitutionally squelch conservative points of view. Lower courts have sided with the states, but the Supreme Court blocked those rulings while it considers the issue.

The high court is in the midst of a term heavy with social media issues. On Friday, the court laid out standards for when public officials can block their social media followers. Less than a month ago, the court heard arguments over Republican-passed laws in Florida and Texas that prohibit large social media companies from taking down posts because of the views they express.

The cases over state laws and the one being argued Monday are variations on the same theme, complaints that the platforms are censoring conservative viewpoints.

I wonder if the lawyers will mention that many of the opinions expressed online that government asked social media companies to censor were actually true?

The states argue that White House communications staffers, the surgeon general, the FBI and the U.S. cybersecurity agency are among those who coerced changes in online content on Facebook, X (formerly Twitter) and other media platforms.

“It’s a very, very threatening thing when the federal government uses the power and authority of the government to block people from exercising their freedom of speech,” Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill said in a video her office posted online.

It is threatening, and disturbing, that government forces are trolling social media looking for posts they do not like. It tells me that they are Fascists and there are way too many federal employees if they have time to do this. And that they have lost sight of what the Constitution states. Where did they get any authority to do this when the 1st Amendment specifically states that government cannot censor Free Speech?

Free speech advocates say the court should use the case to draw an appropriate line between the government’s acceptable use of the bully pulpit and coercive threats to free speech.

“The government has no authority to threaten platforms into censoring protected speech, but it must have the ability to participate in public discourse so that it can effectively govern and inform the public of its views,” Alex Abdo, litigation director of the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University, said in a statement.

They’re welcome to participate: offer information. But, most of what we see from government is government-speak talking points which usually sound like mule fritters.

The opinion should be out this summer. Realistically, if Biden’s regime was doing this he and anyone involved should be impeached/fired.

Moonbat NY Reparations Council Blames Whites For Climate Crisis (scam)

By William Teach March 18, 2024 – 7:00 am

It just goes to show, this whole thing really has nothing to do with science, and everything to do with far left politics

NY reparations panel members blame whites for climate change, blast Sen. Tim Scott and want to defund cops

Two representatives appointed to a committee considering paying reparations claimed whites were responsible for climate change, slammed Israel and pushed to defund the police.

Ron Daniels and Lurie Daniel Favors — both appointed to New York’s commission on Reparations and Racial Justice by state Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie — made several fiery statements including Daniels slamming black US Sen. Tim Scott as “Uncle Tim,” according to a review of their public statements.

“White Folks Messed Up the Weather = Black Folks Save the Planet,” Daniels, a longtime activist who ran for president on the minor party Peace and Freedom Party in 1992, said in an Oct. 25, 2021 posting on X.

What, exactly, have black folks done to save the planet? If he wants to be racist (and, Favors seems to be pretty racist herself, both by the tweet in the article and other tweets), and he has lots more hating on white people, lots of black supremacy, well, let it be known that if anthropogenic climate change is real, it’s because white people, along with Asians, Latinos, and Indians, have pretty much come up with most things over the past few centuries. If he doesn’t like it, he can stop using the automobile, bus, airplane, air conditioning, phones of all types, computers, electricity, radio, helicopters, penicillin, lightbulb, Internet, and so much more. Heck, he can stop using Twitter, which was invented by white people. But, really, I do not like to stoop to the same racial animosity as these wackjobs.

Really, these wackjobs link everything to ‘climate change’. It seems to encompass everything. It’s a joke.

SCNY Sees District Resemble Third World Brothel And Bazaar

By William Teach March 18, 2024 – 6:45 am

Would you like to take a guess who represents the Sanctuary City NY district?

AOC district neighborhood labeled ‘Third World’ as migrants clog streets and prostitutes overrun every block

An area in Squad member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s district is being described as looking more like a Third World country as opposed to a thriving American neighborhood, as desperate migrants block up sidewalks selling food and shilling clothing items while prostitutes openly solicit sex from passersby — reportedly including teens.

The neighborhoods of Corona, Jackson Heights and Elmhurst — a once-vibrant community in northwestern Queens — has now essentially deteriorated into a large flea market with trash overflowing on street corners, leading to unsavory and unhygienic conditions, as video obtained by Fox News Digital shows.

Meanwhile, the neighborhood’s main strip along Roosevelt Avenue has become so renowned for its prostitution that locals have nicknamed the area “the market of sweethearts,” and viral online videos advise prospective johns on how to make use of sex workers’ services there.

In exclusive Fox News Digital photos, sex workers were seen on Wednesday standing outside storefronts soliciting men. Residents say the prostitutes usually take their clients into makeshift brothels for sex. These alleged sex workers operate during all hours of the day, even as families walk by with their children in strollers, and often hang out in front of area supermarkets. Prostitution is against the law in New York.

Yo, Sandy, are you visiting your district much? Taking a walkthru? Seeing what’s going on? Also, seriously, Fox News, they are illegal aliens, and it’s cute that you use the politically sanctioned phrase “sex workers”. They’re prostitutes. Hookers.

The video shows an almost endless stream of vendors with piles of clothes stacked along the streets, while others sell sneakers, pots and pans and toys and photo frames.

At the end of the clip, three people can be seen sitting in the trunk of a car. The trio has a stall set up encroaching onto a pedestrian crossing and their used boxes block the path of walkers crossing the road. Only licensed vendors are permitted to sell food or goods in public spaces in New York.

“Like most of my like-minded residents, we see this as a third-world market,” Frías, 43, tells Fox News Digital. “Basically, you just see clothes thrown across the floor … the items are stolen from donation bins or stolen from stores, and they just set up shop outside brick-and-mortar businesses. They take away trade from these businesses and don’t pay taxes.”

And the authorities are basically doing nothing about it. Even after a big raid in January, for which Mayor Adams was present, no one was really arrested, no one fined, nothing shut down.

The seat is currently held by Cruz (a far left Progressive), who tells Fox News Digital that a group of elected officials, separate from Moya, have been meeting with city and state agencies to work on “safe solutions for quality of life concerns.” Cruz has previously called for more permits to be issued for street vendors, and she has also sponsored legislation to decriminalize prostitution. Ocasio-Cortez herself has also called on the city to issue more vendor permits.

So, the illegals are to be rewarded for their illegal behavior? SCNY deserves every issue happening.

Biden Regime Looks To Send Tens Of Millions More To Failed State Haiti

By William Teach March 17, 2024 – 7:00 am

There are rumors that Biden is yammering about $130 million more, but, let’s start with

US aid chief to announce $25 million in humanitarian assistance for Haiti

U.S. aid chief Samantha Power is set to announce $25 million in humanitarian assistance for Haiti on Friday, according to a statement seen by Reuters in advance, as the Caribbean nation faces a long-running political and humanitarian crisis.

The additional assistance from the U.S. Agency for International Development will go toward immediate food assistance, essential relief supplies, relocation support and emergency health care, Power said in the statement.

Psycho-social support, safe drinking water and protection for the most vulnerable, including women and girls, will also be part of the aid, Power said.

The additional aid comes after U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken at talks in Jamaica on Monday pledged $33 million in humanitarian aid for Haiti, which Power said comes on top of the $146 million already provided by the U.S. since October 2022.

Heavily armed gangs have taken over much of the capital in Haiti, and rights groups have reported widespread killings, kidnappings and sexual violence. More than 360,000 people are internally displaced in Haiti, according to U.N. estimates.

So, the aid has been worthless? Canada just announced $123 million a few weeks ago. And consider

(Daily Caller) The Biden administration, through a variety of agencies, has approved about $680 million in contracts and grants intended to fund operations that would bolster the Haitian government’s ability to tackle organized crime, provide healthcare to the country’s residents, support infrastructure and spur economic growth, federal spending records show. Despite hundreds of millions spent, gangs now run rampant in Haiti and have forced its prime minister to resign, controlling as much as 80% of the country’s capital city of Port Au Prince as of March 5, according to a United Nations estimate.

How much has the Clinton Foundation spent in Haiti for nothing? Let’s go back in time to 2015

What Does Haiti Have to Show for $13 Billion in Earthquake Aid?

Americans texted tens of millions of dollars in donations and governments gave billions, but five years after an earthquake left corpses and rubble piled across Haiti, 85,000 people still live in crude displacement camps and many more in deplorable conditions.

The disconnect between the massive amount of private and public aid and the poverty, disease and homelessness that still plague the country raises a question that critics say is too difficult to answer: Where did all that money go? (snip)

The United Nations said that in total $13.34 billion has been earmarked for the crisis through 2020, though two years after the quake, less than half of that amount had actually been released, according to U.N. documents. The U.S. government has allocated $4 billion; $3 billion has already been spent, and the rest is dedicated to longer-term projects.

And in 2024, even after the money was spent, Haiti is 100% shithole, and violent, backwards, failed state. So, sure, why not dump even more taxpayer money into the nation?
