Another Knife-Wielding Maniac Charges Police In NYC, Because Progressive Utopia Is Going Great

Police had to confront and kill a knife-wielding maniac in New York City on Friday. This came just days after a different maniac went on a stabbing rampage, killing one person and wounding another in Times Square. 

City leaders remain shocked that this keeps happening while defunding the police is never off the table to leftists.

The man was first seen walking on the Brooklyn Bridge cables around 3:30 a.m. Officers scaled the bridge to talk him into coming down safely. That turned into a standoff. The man lunged at them and made threats.

“He stated, ‘I want to die, I want you to kill me, I have a bomb, you’re not going to make me do something bad to the cops,’” NYPD’s Emergency Services Unit (ESU) Assistant Chief Gerard Dowling, told reporters.

Officers spent nearly one hour asking the man to drop his weapon and come down. They tried to reason with a guy who said he wanted to die and might have a bomb. 

Then the knife-wielding man started coming down the cables. He lunged at one officer when he got within three feet. “At that point, a member of ESU who was on the roadbed of the bridge discharged his weapon one time, striking the man,” Dowling said.

The man was rushed to the hospital and pronounced dead. All Brooklyn-bound lanes of the bridge shut down during peak Friday morning commute hours. 

This incident came after another knife attack in New York City on Monday. 

Erin Piacenti, a young wife and new mother who had just returned from maternity leave to her VP job at Bank of America, was stabbed and killed by a mentally disturbed woman. A handful of leftists cheered the murder because of the victim's bank position, just like they did when Luigi Mangione shot and killed Brian Thompson, a CEO for UnitedHealthcare.

Another unidentified man in the Piacenti incident was also injured and taken to the hospital. He was released on Tuesday. Police fatally shot the attacker, 49-year-old Pamela Cisneros, who was armed with two kitchen knives. Cisneros, from Queens, had previous outbursts tied to her mental state. She refused repeated commands to drop the knives when officers confronted her near an NYPD substation.

“During the encounter, she told the officers, ‘I’m not dropping anything. I would rather kill both of you.’ She repeated, ‘I will kill you,’” NYPD Chief, Jessica Tisch said during a press briefing.

Several weeks before that, there was another stabbing near Times Square. A man was stabbed in the head during an argument inside a subway station. Officials are sure the next round of sensitivity training and reduced police presence will fix everything.

Florida awards Zohran Mamdani as their "Economic Developer of the Year" in Times Sq. campaign

"Hey Zohran, thanks for the jobs" --love, Florida

Communism [the left calls it socialism] is apparently a strong motivator to get people to run as fast as they can away from where it's imposed. New York City, run by comrade Mayor Zohran Mamdani, is one case in point. The beneficiary of New York's exodus in large part is Florida.

At the corner of Broadway and West 43rd Street, basically the heart of the Big Appel, a massive new billboard is sending an infuriating message to New York leadership: "Thanks for the jobs!" [H/T Fox News.]

The United States is now facing a choice between free enterprise or more government control under socialism. Florida is having none of that and has launched a Times Square campaign naming  New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani Florida's "Economic Developer of the Year." Let this once again show the [wo]man in the street, how progressive socialist policies with their all encompassing taxing, are driving businesses and families to conservative-run states such as Florida and Texas.

Florida now has a $1,800,000,000,000.35 record-breaking wealth migration. That's even more money than Elon Musk has earned.

"We wanted to thank him [Mamdani] for the jobs, the companies, the people that they're pushing out of New York — and a lot of them are coming to Florida," Chamber CEO Mark Wilson first told Fox News Digital on Monday.

"America is at a crossroads right now. I think everyone that's paying attention knows that our country was built on freedom and free enterprise and people having the liberty to make their dreams come true," Wilson said. "And there's a push in our country right now to take those liberties away and to attack free enterprise. And that's never worked anywhere, and it won't work in America."

"What Mayor Mamdani is doing is dangerous for the country, right? It's bad for New Yorkers. It's bad for New York. It's very harmful for the country," Wilson continued. "We can choose free enterprise, which is what America was built on, or we can choose to destroy that, which is what the social[ist] policies do… And so, what we're hoping happens from this campaign is that we refocus America on free enterprise."

In addition to putting the blame on Mamdani, the Chamber’s campaign highlights its argument that lower tax rates yield higher total state revenues by incentivizing growth, while blue-state tax hikes trigger a tax-based exodus. According to the Chamber, citing IRS migration data, Florida gains approximately $2.4 million in net taxable income every hour, while New York loses approximately $1.1 million per hour. The Chamber also says Florida gains a net 551 residents daily, compared to New York losing 115 residents daily. Now that's an enormous difference.

"Heading South" [AI generated]

According to the Chamber's press release, New York’s state budget is over twice Florida’s, and New York City’s municipal budget alone is more than $8 billion higher than the entire Florida state budget.

"What do people like Mayor Mamdani do? They want to then increase taxes on the people who are left, which just further accelerates people leaving places like New York," Wilson explained, showing that comrades like Mamdani, know nothing about economics and are dangerous to their constituents and the country as a whole.

So just like Barack Obama was the gun industry's best salesman, Mamdani is Florida's best jobs head hunter.

"Florida's lowered taxes over 50 times in the last 15 years. And we have record revenues coming in because people want to be here. And when the economy grows, tax revenues grow. That's how free enterprise works," Wilson said.

New Tolerance Campaign offers $1 million to Queers for Palestine to hold parade in Gaza

A U.S.-based watchdog organization called The New Tolerance Campaign (NTC) made a one million dollar offer on Monday to "Queers for Palestine" as well as any LGBTQ organization to host a Gay Pride Parade in Gaza or Judea and Samaria.

“This isn’t a joke. It’s not a publicity stunt. Our offer is real,” Gregory T. Angelo, the organization's president said in a statement on the group's website. 

Angelo, who is gay, is also the former president of Log Cabin Republicans.

“For the past year, we’ve seen so-called ‘Queers for Palestine’ and allied LGBTQ organizations insist that the Palestinian territories are ‘inclusive’—well, here’s their chance to prove it. We’re willing to put our money where their mouths are to underwrite a Gay Pride Parade in Gaza or the West Bank.”

Crickets.

NTC has received commitments for the $1 million prize, which is being offered to potential parade organizers. The offer is good for the next six months, until March 16, 2025, but there's a better chance for a gay person to get hit by lightning, twice, at 12 noon in Times Square on New Year's Day.

NTC said it had attempted to publicize the campaign with full-page ads in The New York Times, The Washington Post and USA Today. All three newspapers declined, citing safety concerns and the fact that they're cowards.

Times Square in New York City also declined to run the ad, saying the buildings displaying it could become targets of violence, which kind of proves the point, doesn't it.

NTC then began circulating mobile billboards on Monday around Columbia University on the Upper West Side of New York City; the headquarters of the Human Rights Campaign in Washington, D.C.; and the University of California, Los Angeles.

The mobile billboards will run through Wednesday. Additional dates may be announced, the organization said.

“The campaign will also allow everyday Americans to send messages directly to the senior leadership of the Human Rights Campaign, GLAAD, the LGBTQ Task Force, and Advocates for Trans Equality encouraging them to actually fight for LGBTQ rights rather than taking a political stance against the only gay-friendly country in the Middle East, Israel,” NTC’s website stated.

“This project highlights the lack of human rights for the LGBTQ community in Palestine while noting LGBTQ people live freely in Israel. It also has the potential to be a breakthrough moment for pluralism and peace throughout the Arab world,” said Angelo.

According to the rules of the challenge, the recipient group must be a recognized U.S. 501(c)(3) organization; the parade march must be at least one kilometer (approximately half a mile) in length and on a major street; and include at least 200 participants, 80% of whom must be Palestinian, and from Judea and Samaria or Gaza.

In addition, participants must outwardly “show” LGBTQ pride symbols or dress, including but not limited to rainbow flags, trans flags, full leather outfits, or drag.

At least half of the parade signs must be in Arabic and the parade filmed by NTC just to avoid any confusion among the members of the religion of peace who will view the parade and may get more involved.

Migrant teen who shot at cops in Times Sq. to be tried as adult: no bail for the punk

The 15-year-old migrant from Venezuela who shot a tourist and fired at police with a "big boy" gun near Times Square on Thursday will be charged as an adult for attempted murder. The boy, who cried like a girl when caught, will be held without bail, so Kamala Harris can save her time and forget about the GoFundMe she might have considered.

The NYPD said the boy was charged on Friday afternoon with a long list of charges including two counts of attempted murder, assault, attempted assault and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon.

The Manhattan DA's office asked that the teen be held without bail as the evidence in the case is "very strong." They noted that the punk  "demonstrated that he is an extreme flight risk and is facing a long sentence of incarceration on this strong case, where he shot an innocent bystander in Times Square and then fired at the police officer who was trying to arrest him. The facts of this case are particularly serious, and the evidence is very strong."

The teen arrived in New York City from Communist Venezuela less than six months ago and was living in a taxpayer-funded shelter on the Upper West Side, just a stone's throw from millionaire hedge fund geniuses who voted Democrat.

It is unclear if the punk was in the country, legally or illegally, but don't bet against it.

Police said that the punk was captured on security video opening fire inside a sporting goods store in Times Square after a security guard stopped him with stolen merchandise.

The shot missed the security guard but struck a female Brazilian tourist in the leg as the punk and one of the other scumwafers bolted from the scene.

The fleeing migrant fired at least twice at a responding police officer, while a second officer apprehended the other fleeing migrant punk. 

The NYPD quickly launched a search for the punk, calling him "armed and dangerous," but left off "cowardly" as we later discovered, when he cried like a Betsy Wetsy doll after he was caught Friday.

His next court appearance will be on Feb. 10 at the New York Supreme Criminal Court.

"The shooting incident last night in Times Square was way beyond reckless," Commissioner Edward Caban said at a Friday evening news conference to announce the arrest. "In the middle of the busiest, mostly highly-trafficked part of the city, a criminal with a firearm decides to pull the trigger."

"If you think you attack a member of this department, if you think you could threaten the lives of the very people who keep us safe. If you think you could put others at deadly risk and get away with it, then think again," Caban said. "We will never stop pursuing you. We will find you, and we will arrest you."

The shooting came less than two weeks after another group of migrants attacked cops in Timers Square.

Several suspects in that case have been indicted, but only one is being held in custody.

"Armed and dangerous" sissy teen illegal alien cries over his arrest for Times Square shooting

The Times Square shooter who injured a tourist and fired at cops was bagged on Friday, law enforcement reports. When he was caught, he cried like a little girl whose dolly's head came off.

The teen, Jesus Alejandro Rivas-Figueroa, 15, is from Venezuela. He was taken into custody in Yonkers, NY at around 3:30 p.m. a short time after he was identified by NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell as an "armed and dangerous" person of interest regarding the incident at the Crossroads of the World on Thursday evening. 

Rivas-Firueroa came across the southern border last September and stayed at a temporary shelter at the Stratford Hotel on West 70th Street in Manhattan.

The teen is also a suspect in an armed robbery in the Bronx on January 27th, and in yet another incident in which shots were fired in Midtown Manhattan, the police official said.

The teen is considered “armed and dangerous” with what police believe is a “very large” .40-caliber handgun, Chell added at the initial report about the suspect.

He allegedly fired two shots at police officers when fleeing Thursday night. The gunfire occurred at around 7:15 p.m.

A female security guard was able to yank the stolen goods out of another teenager’s hands.

“He [Rivas-Figueroa] had no problems firing into a crowd at a store … and not shooting at cops once, but shooting at them twice,” Chell said of the illegal alien.

“We’re not gonna put up with this,” he insisted, hoping someone from the Biden administration was listening and agreeing, but alas, they were too busy trying to cover up for his press conference clusterfrack.

Sources said Friday that a 15-year-old and a third person were taken into custody and later released.

Rivas-Figueroa and the two additional unnamed 16- and 15-year-old suspects went to school together, Chell said

While the other 15-year-old was detained at the scene Thursday night, police are still trying to determine the 16-year-old’s role in the incident, the police official said.

We need to deport these people.

Comedy News Network screws up New Year's Eve countdown again

"I don't know if I spilled my drink or peed myself"

Another year, another CNN clusterfrack. It seems they can't get anything right, even the countdown to the New Year. Either they're too drunk or too distracted to do what they came to do: take their viewers seriously.

As the clock struck midnight, Don LeMon and his fellow celebrators in New Orleans were dancing and twerking to Juvenile's "Back That Azz Up," in the spirit of "Wet A** Pu**Y" by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion rather than doing their job: celebrating the start of 2023 with toasts, maybe some resolutions, predictions, and kisses.

The professionalism they showed on New Year's is the same they bring every day, which is to say they have their heads up their nether regions when it comes to being professional. The only reason Don LeMon would sing and dance to "Back That Azz Up" is because he needs to remove his head from it.

"CNN has redeemed itself by ringing in the new year in New Orleans with ‘Back That Azz Up’ and not acknowledging the stroke of midnight in any way," Timothy Burke tweeted.

"As the clock ticked over, Lemon is seen throwing beaded necklaces into the dancing crowd, only moments later seeming to realize that the countdown and announcement had been missed," Business Insider reports.

It would have been perfect if the network could have arranged to have gotten Michael Avenatti out of the slammer and Jeffrey Toobin to dance with him, while Kathy Griffin comes on to Anderson Cooper and Brian Stelter sings WAP as the Times Square glass ball came down.

If it isn't booze with CNN hosts, its something else.

Anyhow, Happy New Year! Stay safe and I wish you all health and happiness.

NYC: Times Square subway stabbing perp in custody

It has become more dangerous to take the subway in New York City, or to simply just live there, than it had been to be stationed in Afghanistan, especially prior to President Biden having troops try to leave without getting killed.

Early Saturday morning, a 23-year-old man was stabbed at around 2:25 a.m. during a brawl in the passageway near the number 7 train entrance at the Times Square-42nd Street station. The man was hospitalized. 

The police have made an arrest of the stabber and say that five individuals were involved in the dispute but fled the scene soon thereafter. The cops were able to catch one suspect, according to sources familiar with the case and charges against that person are still pending. His identity has not been released by the NYPD at this time.

Officers from the Midtown South Precinct and NYPD Transit Bureau responded to the kerfuffle and found the 23-year-old victim stabbed in the torso and leg.

"This knife violence has got to stop," one person who asked to remain anonymous due to fear of reprisal and an old felony count, told Brain Flushings. "What happened to good old fashion guns? That would have dealt with it and the guy who got attacked could have ended the fight right then and there. Shoot the bast**d, I always say."

EMS rushed the young man to Bellevue Hospital for treatment of injuries not considered life-threatening, authorities said.

Police are still seeking four other men involved in the fight who fled afterward hither and thither.

Muslim man arrested: suspect in anti-Semitic attack in New York's Time Square

A man was arrested and his cohorts are being sought involving an obviously anti-Semitic attack on a Jewish man in Times Square in Manhattan. In spite of this being an apparent anti-Semitic crime, some politicians are uncharacteristically paying attention. The crime á la mode has been anti-Asian assaults so it's interesting that politicians are giving anti-Semitic crime a second look in spite of it being disproportionately the highest hate crime in the nation. And police are investigating this attack as such.

The attack occurred on Thursday and was caught on video and shared on social media. It came following pro-Israel and pro-Hamasshole demonstrations in midtown Manhattan over the conflict in Gaza. 

The cease fire, or 'intermission' came a few hours later but 26 arrests were made.

The 29-year-old man was attacked for being Jewish a short time after the demonstrations and was taken to a hospital where he was in stable condition, Sergeant Jessica McRorie, a police spokeswoman, said. The victim's name was not released in concern the Hamasshole supporters would track him and his family down for being Jewish and kill them.

"The victim was approached by a group of five or six males who knocked him to the ground, assaulted him while making anti-Semitic statements," McRorie said by phone. "They punched, kicked, pepper-sprayed and hit him with some crutches during the assault."

They are what is known as crap weasel cowards.

The man who was arrested was identified as Waseem Awawdeh, who police said used a crutch in the early evening assault. It's possible Awawdeh stole the crutch from a disabled person but he refused to say.

Awawdeh arrested

He faces charges of second-degree hate crime assault, a second-degree gang assault, menacing and criminal possession of a weapon. If convicted, he faces up to three hours in custody under New York City's no bail, no problem rules.

A video of the incident showed a person striking a man on the ground with a crutch and fleeing as other attackers also did. The victim got up about a minute later and tried to pursue his attackers but was restrained by police. You gotta give him credit, though.

The New York Police Department's Hate Crime Task Force said it was investigating the assault as they search for reasons why anyone would attack a lone Jewish man on the streets of New York. Hmm.

New York Governor Andrew "Hi Toots" Cuomo said in a statement that he was [reluctantly] dispatching the State Police Hate Crimes Task Force to assist.

Cuomo and several other useless officials, including Mayor Bill de Blasio and U.S. Representative Jerry Nadler, whose district includes the Times Square restaurants area, condemned what Cuomo called "anti-Semitic violent gang harassment and intimidation." 

Meanwhile back at the front, the cease fire has held longer than a cab ride from Brooklyn to the Bronx, so maybe it'll last a little while longer. But it ain't over, folks.

 wrote. “I have been struck since my first day on the campaign trail back in 2018 by the overwhelming whiteness and maleness of Chicago media outlets, editorial boards, the political press corps, and yes, the City Hall press corps specifically.”

“If I as the black woman mayor, the first-ever, don’t challenge us, the collective us, to do better, to really make sure that in every institution it reflects the diversity, nuance, and texture, then shame on me,” Lightfoot continued.

“This isn’t my job. It shouldn’t be,” she wrote. “I don’t have time for it. But as with so many festering problems, it has only gotten worse with time. So here I am, like so many other Black women before me, having to call your attention to this problem.”

Lightfoot went further, taking to Twitter early Thursday morning to defend her policy in a series of posts.

“I ran to break up the status quo that was failing so many,” Lightfoot tweeted. “That isn’t just in City Hall. It’s a shame that in 2021, the City Hall press corps is overwhelmingly White in a city where more than half of the city identifies as Black, Latino, AAPI, or Native American.”

“Diversity and inclusion is imperative across all institutions including media. In order to progress we must change,” she continued. “This is exactly why I’m being intentional about prioritizing media requests from POC reporters on the occasion of the two-year anniversary of my inauguration as mayor of this great city.”

Critics blasted Lightfoot’s decision from all sides Wednesday. Beyond the journalists who noted that they were shut out by the policy limiting interviews, Lightfoot faced criticism from a Latino news organization, which refused to interview the mayor after she refused to lift the moratorium on white journalists, per Fox News.

She also faced blowback on Twitter, where racial justice advocates suggested that Lightfoot was likely using the policy to distract from her inability to handle questions of violence. “Lori Lightfoot presided over an enormous increase in homicides, almost all of them in African American or Latino communities, and she’s hoping these PR stunts get liberal America to give her a pass for failing to save people’s lives,” journalist Zaid Jilani pointed out.

Indeed, on the same day that the mayor’s office announced the policy favoring “black and brown” reporters, Lightfoot aides announced that “a compromise plan to make past police disciplinary records available to the public,” essentially turning down a request from Chicago’s racial justice activists to expand police transparency.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot Determines Who Interviews Her Based On Race, Local Reporters Claim

Local media reporters in Chicago are alleging that Democrat Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is selecting who gets to do one-on-one interviews with her based on the race of the interviewer.

NBC 5 political reporter Mary Ann Ahern made the initial allegation on Twitter, writing: “As ⁦ @chicagosmayor ⁩ reaches her two year midway point as mayor, her spokeswoman says Lightfoot is granting 1 on 1 interviews – only to Black or Brown journalists.”

Chicago PBS news anchor Paris Schultz responded: “I was told the same thing.”


I was told the same thing.

— Paris Schutz (@paschutz)

Chicago PBS political reporter said that she could “confirm” what Ahern was alleging.


I can confirm, alderman

— Heather Cherone (@HeatherCherone) May 18, 2021

Lightfoot’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Daily Wire or Fox News.

Australian political commentator Rita Panahi responded to the allegations by writing on Twitter: “More ‘anti-racist’ racism. Almost amusing how regressive race-obsession is celebrated among the Left.”

“Racism in the name of wokeism is still racism,” another commentator said. Another added, “So wouldn’t that make her a racist?”

Progressive writer Zaid Jilani wrote: “Is she going to do some kinda DNA test to assure she upholds this rule?”


Is she going to do some kinda DNA test to assure she upholds this rule? https://t.co/9d7rXZTnCV

— Zaid Jilani (@ZaidJilani) May 19, 2021

“It is unclear when such a practice was enacted and if it only applies to local reporters, particularly after her MSNBC appearance with Stephanie Ruhle on Monday,” Fox News reported. “During her MSNBC interview, Lightfoot told Ruhle she would ‘encourage’ Chicago residents to continue wearing masks despite the new CDC guidance allowing those with the coronavirus vaccine to go without them.”

“I know for me personally, I’m going to continue to wear a mask in public and I’m going to encourage others to do so,” Lightfoot told Ruhle. “We’ve got to make sure that people are continuing to follow the public health guidance that has gotten us this far, and masks, I think, are a big and important part of that.”

Lightfoot said on Tuesday afternoon that her decision to continue to encourage people to wear masks was not based on distrust of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

“But I think their guidance last week regarding masks has people confused…We need clarification,” Lightfoot said. “We still have a long way to go to hit the critical mass (of vaccinations) or herd immunity. I don’t want people to have false confidence.”

“To say, ‘If you’re vaccinated, you don’t have to wear a mask,’ that’s great. But what about all of the other people who are out there that aren’t vaccinated?” Lightfoot added. “There’s no way to know that. So I think for the time being, most people are gonna continue to wear masks outside of their homes.”

Times Square shooter identified: he was only trying to shoot his brother

The New York Post reports that law enforcement has identified a person of interest in Saturday night's Time Square shooting that wounded three people, one of whom was a 4-year-old girl.

It happened at 1515 Broadway at 44th Street and Seventh Avenue, in Midtown Manhattan just before 5 p.m. 

[Fun Fact: I worked in that building years ago.]

The incident began from an argument between the person of interest and his brother. 

A manhunt is currently underway for 31-year-old Farrakhan Muhammad, the alleged gunman. He is an unlicensed vendor who works in the area and you can bet the gun he allegedly used was also illegal.

Three unrelated people were injured from the gunfire: Wendy Magrinat, a 23-year-old Rhode Island resident shot in the leg, a 43-year-old woman from New Jersey in the left foot, and a 4-year-old girl from Brooklyn was shot in the leg. They were taken to Bellevue Hospital and all are expected to survive, Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said.

Incidents involving violent people with guns increased by 166% in NY City.

Useless Mayor Comrade Bill de Blasio brilliantly called the shooting "senseless violence" and promised that those responsible would be brought to justice. "The flood of illegal guns into our city must stop," the mayor said, stating the obvious on Twitter.

Thankfully, de Blasio cannot run for mayor again as this is his final term.

Mother and her young daughter among multiple Times Sq. shooting victims

A person of interest in the shooting

Three bystanders were shot Saturday at Times Square in Manhattan, NY by a man who had been arguing with three other people pulled out a handgun and began shooting into the crowd, the NYPD reported. One of the victims hit by gunfire is a toddler.

The incident erupted at 4:55 p.m. in front of 1515 Broadway at West 44th Street. Four men were involved in a dispute when one of them pulled out a gun and began firing, striking 3 people, none of whom are related.

Among the victims is a 23-year-old woman who was struck in the right thigh; a 43-year-old woman who was struck in the left foot; and a 4-year-old girl who took a bullet in her left leg.

The child is from Brooklyn and the adults are from Rhode Island and New Jersey, sources said.

Police, as is customary, were in the area and rendered aid immediately.

The shooter may have fled on public transit, a senior law enforcement source said.

Incompetent bomb-maker gets life in prison

The following is only half true. The words of Ilhan Omar are satirical only, so don't sue me.

New York -- A Bangladeshi Muslim immigrant was sentence to life in the slammer last Thursday for attempting to carry out a "barbaric and heinous" plot to kill as many infidels as he could with a suicide bombing attack in New York City's subway below Time Square in 2017.

The wannabe jihadi, Akayed Ullah, 31, was sentenced in Manhattan federal court by Judge Richard J. Sullivan, who said Ullah had carried out “about as serious a crime as there is,” even though he was a screwup after the bomb attached to his chest fizzled like a gag candle on a birthday cake. It severely burned in but basically harmed no one around him except for one individual who lost 70 percent of his hearing.

“A life sentence is appropriate,” Sullivan said. “It was a truly barbaric and heinous crime.”

The judge told the would-be suicide bomber that life in prison was “less draconian than the sentence you were going to impose on yourself.”

Ullah, whose IQ and age are 31, spoke through a white mask over his black beard. His mom sat in the courtroom, tears in her eyes, as Ullah said he was sorry.

“Your honor, what I did on Dec. 11, it was wrong,” he said, hoping to change the judge's mind. “I can tell you from the bottom of my heart, I'm deeply sorry. ... I do not support harming innocent people.” 

By innocent, what jihadis mean, are those who follow the path of Islam. All the rest of us are not considered innocent, so don't believe those words when they're spoken by someone who is willing to blow themselves up into little bitesize pieces to kill infidels.

Prosecutors had sought the life term for Ullah, saying the “premeditated and vicious” attack was committed on behalf of the Islamic State group.

But defense lawyer Amy Gallicchio said Ullah deserved no more than the mandatory 35 years in prison. She said he had “lived lawfully and peacefully” before the December 2017 attack that she blamed on a “personal crisis that left him isolated, depressed, vulnerable and suicidal.”

“He's not an evil man. He is not a monster,” she said. 

Ilhan Omar concurs. "Just because he did something, that doesn't mean he isn't a good guy," Omar said. "The poor guy could be my brother--I mean husband. Don't put him away for life," Omar pleaded.

At trial, prosecutors showed jurors Ullah's post-arrest statements and social media comments, including when he taunted then-President Donald Trump on Facebook before the attack.

Ullah gained an entry visa in 2011 because he had an uncle who was already a U.S. citizen. Then-President Trump said allowing foreigners to follow relatives to the U.S. was “incompatible with national security.” 

Trump was 100% correct.

Father of teen arrested in Times Square with AK-47 was killed by cops last month

Andrew Teague, 43, was a felon who was shot and killed in Columbus, Ohio on March 5th, after a wild pursuit by police on Interstate 270 that ended in his death.

 His 18-year-old son, Saadiq Teague, was busted with an AK-47 assault rifle inside a Times Square subway station in New York City on April 16th.

Authorities tried to arrest the older Teague for a felonious assault warrant regarding a Feb. 2 incident, which sparked the chase that lasted over an hour. In his attempt to flee, Teague drove the wrong way on I-270 and ended up striking two oncoming vehicles head-on.

Teague then got out of his vehicle and began exchanging gunfire with a Columbus police officer and a deputy, Chief Deputy Jim Gilbert said.

The elder Teague had a long rap sheet that included arrests for weapons possession, domestic violence, burglary and drug trafficking. He apparently was a model scumbag which,  for the left, qualifies him for a GoFundMe page.

HK Woods, Teague’s cousin, told The New York Post via phone he’d been having issues with his parole officer and it “drove him to the edge.” 

“He kind of went out the only way he could,” Woods said. 

Yes, Teague was the victim, as usual.

The man’s 18-year-old son, identified by New York City law enforcement sources as Saadiq Teague, an Ohio resident, was busted by NYPD cops Friday afternoon with an AK-47 assault rifle and a gas mask inside the Times Square subway station.

Saadiq was taken into custody without incident at around 12:30 p.m. on the mezzanine level of the subway station off the A, C, and E line. He was not immediately charged.

Sources say the teen was sitting down and charging his cell phone inside the station with the weapon out next to him in plain sight because he's not very bright, when uniformed transit cops spotted him.

The AK-47 was unloaded, but the teen had a fully loaded magazine in his backpack, along with the gas mask, according to the sources. He also had drug paraphernalia in his possession.

Saadiq told police he thought carrying an unloaded rifle with the ammunition stored separately is legal in New York City, a high-ranking police source said. 

The FBI was also involved in the investigation into the matter. 

Woods said he’s lost touch with Saadiq in recent years but called him a good kid who enjoyed playing football and shooting stuff with his AK-47.

An Ohio man who identified himself as Saadiq’s uncle, Rennell Mahone, was flummoxed by the news Friday.

“How the hell did he get into New York?” he asked. “He had a gas mask in the subway station?”

Call Al Sharptongue, he'll dig deep to find the racism in this arrest and send those cops to prison.

Comrade de Blasio dances 'The Douche' on Times Square

Dancing 'The Douche' on Times Square

The city dropped its ball at the stroke of midnight turning 2020 with its great vision into 2021, a year now old enough to drink. Also dropping his ball was the Mayor of New York City, Comrade Bill de Blasio, the worst mayor in the nation and tied with Eric Garcetti, another Democrat whose greatest success is his record number of failures.

While all New Yorkers and visitors to The Big Apple were commanded to remain locked down inside their homes, de Blasio and his wife Chirlane McCray, danced the night away on stage at the famous New Year's landmark, nearly empty, pandemic be damned. 

Typically on New Year's Eve, people are packed in Times Square like sardines.

In light of de Blasio's blatant cluelessness, or else his not caring who he pisses off, critics condemned the communist Sandinista-supporting oversized dweeb. Meghan McCain tweeted: 

 "You've always been basically the worst political in modern history - but shutting down the NYC but having your own private party in Times Square is really *chefs kiss* the most tone deaf thing I may have ever seen a Mayor do. Everyone hates you DeBlasio."

Andy Cohen, a 52-year-old television person who co-hosted a New Year's Eve show with LGBT darling, Anderson Cooper, also ripped into the tall, but useless Mayor just after downing a shot of tequila.

Cooper also took a shot of tequila but it made him gag and Cohen responded, "That's how I felt when I saw Mayor de Blasio dancing just now." he said, referencing a shot of de Blasio and his wife dancing on stage and planting a smooch on her through their face masks. "I just don't need to see that in the beginning of 2021."

Cohen became visibly angry, and extending his arms yelled: "Do something with this city! Honestly, get it together!"

A communist representative for de Blasio said the incident is, "not the first time I’ve heard a drunk person complain about someone’s dance moves."

The questions remain, first, how did de Blasio's representative know that Cohen was drunk? Second, was it really the dance moves or de Blasio's sense of entitlement that led him to believe that people would be okay with him having the special privilege of being in Times Square when they were forbidden to be there?

40 years in prison for jihadi planner of next 911

The "S" stands for Schmuck

Abdulrahman El Bahnasawy, the 20-year-old jihadi who admitted to planning the next 9-11 was sentenced to 40 years in prison for planning multiple attacks in New York City.

The young Muslim jihadi "planned to detonate bombs in Times Square and the New York City subway system, and to shoot civilians at concert venues," U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman said. "El Bahnasawy aspired, in his words, to 'create the next 9/11'."

El Bahnasawy is a Canadian citizen due to the incredibly liberal immigration laws Prime Minister Justin Trudeau [aka: Latke, from "Taxi"] has allowed. He was arrested in May 2016 on his way from Canada to New York where he was plotting with Talha Haroon, a 20-year-old U.S. citizen arrested in Pakistan, and Russell Salic, a 38-year-old orthopedic surgeon and citizen of the Philippines, who was arrested in the Philippines, and thus proving to all libtards that jihadism has nothing to do with economic status or education--it's all about extremist Islam.

The plans included a huge attack on Times Square, where the men planned to trap people inside the area called Crossroads of the World “and kill as many people as possible.” Nothing personal, just religion.

A shooting attack was also planned for New York’s crowded subway lines. The attackers planned to wear suicide vests and blow themselves up before being apprehended or killed. [At that point they were to ascend to paradise and be rewarded with 72 brown-eyed virgins and rivers of wine.]

They also researched upcoming concerts in the city and talked about choosing “a concert hall that (is) far away from cops.” In other words, 'gun-free zones.'

Another plan was to attack a Jewish neighborhood because that's how the religion of peace rolls when it comes to anti-Semitism.

Possible dates mentioned for the attacks were during the month of Ramadan or on Memorial Day 2016.

El Bahnasawy purchased bomb-making materials and rented a cabin he intended to use to build the explosive devices. Haroon, after meeting bomb experts in Pakistan, planned to travel to New York to help. Salic, the rich doctor, was charged with funding the operation by wiring money from the Philippines.

The men spoke with each other through chat apps, possibly, and quite ironically, invented by an Israeli. El Bahnasawy was caught when he communicated with an undercover agent posing as an ISIS sympathizer. LOL.

Haroon allegedly texted the same agent, “NY Needs to fall. This is a must.” He also said he wanted to “cause great destruction to the filthy (disbelievers) by our hands.” Ironically again, most disbelievers don't smell as badly as these guys do.

According to those familiar with the case, the arrests weren't the result of a sting operation; instead, FBI and NYPD investigators were aware of El Bahnasawy  early on in the planning stages.

In one message, El Bahnasawy wrote, “(W)e seriously need a car bomb at Times Square…Look at these crowds of people!” In another communication, he said he wanted to “shoot up concerts cuz they kill a lot of people…(W)e just walk in with guns in our hands…That’s how the Paris guys did it.”

Haroon spoke of the subway as a “perfect” target and spoke of killing as many people as possible on a “very busy day,” not stopping even if there were “women or kids.” After shooting as many people as possible on the subway, Haroon added that if they “get trapped” or “when we run out of bullets we let the vests go off.”

Definitely not nice guys, but a religious ones.

Notice how doctor Salic took the least physical risk. Just like an imam who sends others to do his dirty work [or 'wet work'] they aren't willing to die just yet, but they convince others of what a wonderful thing it is to die in the way of Allah.

This one, like others we don't hear about, had a happy ending.

Russell Simmons leads "I am a Muslim too" rally

The muezzin called out Adhan, the Muslim call to prayer, through Time Square in New York City on Sunday afternoon. 

A yooge, mixed-faith crowd who apparently know very little about Islam all declared their allegiance to the religion. 

There were social activists, street vendors, who wanted to make a buck or two; organizers, who, if they're devout Muslims, are secretly laughing in their sleeves at the clueless crowd; and curious tourists, who are naive and willing to pay ten dollars for a Sunday Times and saw the protest as a bargain, and actual protesters, many of whom get paid to make trouble, were in attendance.

As far as I know, however, none in the crowd accidentally converted to Islam because they would be killed if they tried to leave the religion of peace.

"I am a Muslim, too!" the low-information group chanted at the anti-Trump rally which was  organized by former friend of President Trump, Russell Simmons. He had the help of an even dumber rabbi and an imam who knew it.

"We are here, unified, because of Donald Trump, so we won't speak too harshly of him tonight--today. We want to thank him for bringing us together," Simmons said.

Simmons was a friend of Trump and he spent many weekends at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. He even was with Trump on his first date with now-First Lady Melania Trump and Donald even wrote the forward for two of Simmons' books. What a pal.

However, when Trump first announced his candidacy for president, Simmons said he would "rather Kim Kardashian be president" than Trump. The pair haven't spoken since 2015 and now all Simmons does is speak against him.

"We are here today to show Middle America our beautiful sides," Simmons said, possibly not realizing that Trump won spectacularly in Middle America and that they are in favor of his temporary immigration halt of seven terrorist-spawning countries. "And through our beautiful actions and intentions, that they have been misled. That the seeds of hate that were small, and maybe just ignorance, cannot be watered, and that hate cannot grow."

I have no doubt that Simmons hasn't read the Qur'an or knows anything about sharia law. I have no doubt the people at the protest are just as ignorant.

Susan Sarandon, the aging actress who recently told a gay website magazine that she is willing to have sex with anyone able to turn oxygen into carbon dioxide, told the crowd that "if you are silent, you are complicit" in the "dismantling" of the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

The hypocrisy was palpable.

As Sarandon spoke of love, the crowd showed the exact opposite behavior. Protesters were yelling at cops, yelling "fascist" as they tried to control the crowd. They said the cops were "un-American" because they were "squelching" freedom of speech--much like the left does to invited conservatives who attempt to speak at colleges and other public forums only to be shouted down or a riot breaks out to prevent the dialogue.

The morons at this event had drawings of Trump as both Hitler and Mussolini, which, by doing so, minimizes the horrible injustices both of those tyrants perpetrated upon their respective countries. If Trump is Hitler, everyone is Hitler, just like it is with the race card the left constantly pulls.

One sign read: "Love Trumps Hate" and it was crossed out by the young man holding it with the words now reading: "Smash The State."

They call it love, but it's hatred and blame for the United States, and because it's the USA, they have the freedom and liberty to protest. 

They're simply too stupid to understand the irony.
