‘Angry’ Crime Victims, Families Blast New York AG Letitia James at Rally for GOP Challenger

NYPost.com:

State Attorney General Letitia James dropped the ball on protecting New Yorkers, a group of crime victims and their relatives said Tuesday as they rallied for GOP challenger Sarita Komatireddy. Komatireddy, a former federal prosecutor, vowed to give victims and their families a “direct line” to the attorney general’s office if she’s elected next month. 

 

“In New York today, the reality is, criminals have more of an audience with our elected officials than crime victims,” Komatireddy said during a press conference outside James’ Lower Manhattan office. 

 

Six New Yorkers impacted by violence and drugs gathered with the Republican candidate, ripping the Empire State’s lax criminal justice laws backed by Democrats including two-term incumbent James and Gov. Kathy Hochul. “They’re all angry,” Komatireddy said. “They’re all tired of being ignored. Each one of them is a victim of lawlessness.

As horrible as Tish James is when it comes to fighting crime or giving a f-ck about victims of crime, I highly doubt she loses her AG seat in a couple of weeks. And the simple reason why is because it's New York, the 2nd most liberal state in the country, where Democrats reign,rule  and run loose with their woke ideology. And James knows this, which is why it was a surprise that she even showed up for her debate with Komatireddy in the first place last week. Indeed, that Jones has made no bones about weaponizing her office, targeting political opponents, letting repeated felons roam the streets freely and even ignoring major amounts of fraud going in the state for years now, is all the reason to vote her out. But in far-Left NY, as long as she goes with the program, she's safe.

DOJ Official Clashes with Liberal Judge Ana Reyes in DC Golf Course Case After Trump Attacks Her

ABCNews.com:

Lawyers for the Trump administration faced off in a contentious hearing Monday with a federal judge pushing for answers over whether she was deliberately misled by the government over why it removed hundreds of trees from a Washington, D.C., public golf course. 

 

D.C. District Judge Ana Reyes had ordered testimony from Interior Department official Gregory Wischer and acting Director of the National Park Service Jessica Bowron over why the government moved abruptly on Columbus Day weekend to remove more than 500 trees from East Potomac golf course without giving her proper advance notice. 

 

Last week, Reyes erupted at attorneys for the government after the trees were removed despite her demanding the administration alert her in advance if it planned any significant alterations to the course given ongoing litigation. The golf course has been the subject of litigation brought by the D.C. Preservation League in response to President Donald Trump's efforts to turn it into a course that could host professional tournaments.

Judge Reyes was appointed by Joe Biden, is an obvious liberal ideologue and also happens to be a lesbian: the perfect combo for hatred of all things Trump. And the type of radical Leftist judge that you expect to get past by Democrats the next time they get one of their own in the Oval office along with control of the Senate. Indeed Reyes, having already moved against Trump when it comes to 'transgenders' in the military and attemptig to halt the President's plan to deport over 300,000 Haitians who came here under TPS, has made quite a name for herself in being a thorn in his side. The kind of loyalty (and bias) that'll certainly be rewarded by the next Democrat President.

‘Criminal Illegal’ Migrant Shot by ICE has Rap Sheet of Alarming Crimes

NYPost.com:

• The Dominican Republic native shot by ICE agents in The Bronx was a migrant with an alarming rap sheet — who apparently benefited from New York’s lax bail and sanctuary laws, allowing him to remain on the streets, according to sources and court records. Oscar Belgal, 28, is believed to have entered the US illegally around 2022, robbed someone at gunpoint in Fordham Heights a year later, allegedly sold dangerous drugs within months of his conviction in 2025 and was even allegedly connected to a violent street gang.
• 
  
• None of that stopped Mayor Zohran Mamdani from referring to Belgal as “a New Yorker” in a raging tribute Thursday against US Immigration and Customs Enforcement — a label some Bronx locals took offense to. “I don’t consider him a New Yorker,” fumed Bronx mom Migdalia Martinez, whose 12-year-old son Jacob Freytas was killed in gangland crossfire while riding his bike in July.
• 
  
• “The only thing I do consider him as is trash, nothing else but trash. And I don’t consider New York, my home, as trash,” she told The Post Friday. Asked if Mamdani was wrong to call Belgal a New Yorker, Martinez said: “The mayor is wrong in many ways — that’s definitely one.”

Yeah, another 'innocent, outstanding citizen' here with a long rap sheet, taking advantage of woke Democrat politicians who have done nothing but enable him for years and released him from prison time and time again so he can continue to commit more crimes. Normally, being a gangbanger, robbing people at gunpoint and selling drugs like Fentanyl on the street would warrant you plenty of time in prison and rightly so. But not in New York state, a liberal cesspool run by lunatic Lefties and their woke policies who ignore crime and coddle criminals at the expense of the lives of innocent civilians just trying to go about their day and make it home safe. And now the repeated felon gets shot by ICE and you're supposed to be all up in arms about it...unless you're a bigot of course.

Zohran Mamdani Administration Signs $8.9M Contracts for ‘Gender-Affirming’ Care for Minors

NYPost.com:

The Mamdani administration is entering into two contracts totaling $8.9 million to provide “gender-affirming” sex reassignment care to transgender patients under the age of 18. The move backs a policy the federal Department of Justice has challenged as medically dangerous and illegal. 

 

The city Department of Health identified two vendors — Callen-Lorde and Nonprofit Organization for Philanthropic Initiatives — to provide the services in contracts that run from 2027-29. “This includes the prescription and administration of puberty-blockers and hormone replacement therapy to all minor patients for whom such services are medically necessary based on the prevailing standards of care,” the DOH said in a public notice. 

“Services will be performed by qualified medical providers with current New York State licensure, and will be provided consistent with state laws governing parental consent.”

Evil is as evil does. Everyone wants to talk about Mamdami's supposed 'anti-semitism', while he gets away with more BS like this. After all, few modern medical practices are as egregious as "gender affirming care," which even WPATH now admits is based on shoddy science that is nothing more than "opinion." But leave it to do the msm to distract us and gloss over Mamdami's true transgressions.

Repeat Female Felon Charged in Broad-Daylight Fatal Stabbing of 7-Year-Old in Chicago

NBCChicago.com:

More details could be revealed Monday as the Chicago woman charged with first-degree murder in the fatal stabbing of a 7-year-old girl in the city's East Chatham neighborhood makes her first court appearance. Shavon Gayden, 48, was taken into custody minutes after the stabbing Saturday morning along South Cottage Grove Avenue near East 86th Street. According to officials, Gayden is expected to appear in court at noon. 

 

According to police, the girl was walking down the sidewalk on South Cottage Grove Avenue about 11:55 a.m. Saturday when a woman she did not know approached and stabbed multiple times in the back. The girl was taken to a nearby hospital where she was pronounced dead. 

 

Surveillance video obtained by NBC Chicago showed witnesses rushing over to what is believed to be the area where the young girl was attacked. Several witnesses could also be seen chasing the suspect after the attack. Police said the bystanders detained the woman, and she was later taken into custody after receiving treatment at a local hospital for injuries she sustained while being detained.

According to many Black liberals, 'white supremacy' remains the greatest threat to the Black community. That's even tho 90% of crimes against Blacks are by other Black people. In this case, the alleged perp Shavon Gayden had a long history of violent asaluts, but was on probation despite having an active femony warrant for her arrest for well over a year. Gayden's own family had long raised concerns over her mental health, but nothing wa done and you won't be seeing Ben Crump ot Al Sharpton cry out about this because when it comes to black-on-black crime, there's no money tp made there. Also, despite a city run by one party fpr almost a century and a mother losing her 7-year-old girl and crying out for justice, Chicagoans will continue to elect soft-on-crime Democrat leadership anyway.

Letitia James Named Special Prosecutor in Cornell 7 Case Despite Prior Support for Alleged Victim

FOXNews.com:

New York Attorney General Letitia James announced Friday morning she has opened an "active criminal investigation" into an alleged gang rape at Cornell University in 2024. "This is now an active criminal investigation led by the office of the attorney general," James said after New York Gov. Kathy Hochul appointed her as an independent special prosecutor in the case. 

 

"Every New Yorker deserves to know that when they report a crime, it will be investigated fully and fairly, that they will be seen and heard. That is the promise of our justice system," she said. "I stand ready to lead a process guided by the facts and the law. In the coming months, my office will dutifully carry out the responsibilities the governor has conferred upon us in this executive order. We will review the facts, gather evidence, interview witnesses, and, if warranted, pursue prosecutions. I know that you want answers. I do too," she added. 

 

Hochul signed an executive order appointing James as the special prosecutor on Thursday, citing "serious questions about the investigation conducted by the Cornell Police Department and the decision by the Tompkins County District Attorney not to prosecute an alleged sexual assault on Cornell University's campus in October 2024." A woman identified only as Jane Doe filed a civil complaint in September accusing seven members of Cornell's Chi Phi fraternity of sexual assault and rape.

A few dats ago Tish James went on Facebook to affirm the Cornel 7 rape allegations and now Kanthy Hochul appoints her as Special Prosecutur?!? This is pathetic. Especially when you consider James long track record as a activist who has weaponized the law for her own radical-Left agenda time and time again. So of course James didn't respomd to a question about the Facebook post today...because her mind's already made up.

New York Ends Regents Exams as High School Graduation Requirement

NYDailyNews.com:

An effort to phase out the Regents exam as a high school graduation requirement reached a major milestone on Monday, when the New York State Board of Regents authorized a plan under which current seniors will be last who must pass the test in order to earn a diploma. 

 

The board’s approval kicks off a final push to turn the proposal — which has been in the pipeline for some time, but still lacks specifics — into an actionable plan over the next year, including long-awaited guidance for schools to implement the sweeping changes. 

 

“For years, we looked at what elite private schools provide for their students, and they do not worry about the Regents exam,” Education Department Commissioner Betty Rosa told the Board of Regents during its monthly meeting in Albany. “This state really needs to stop putting our kids in coach or a little extra legroom, but rather putting them in first class or business class — I’ll take business class. But the only way that we can get there is when we stop thinking about teaching to the test.”

So basically, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and Albany Democrats have eliminated the Regents exam requirement for graduation beginning in 2028, allowing students to graduate without passing standardized tests. This change reduces accountability by giving districts greater control over graduation standards and could allow students to advance without being adequately prepared for college or careers. With New York spending roughly $41,000 per student, the focus should be on improving educational outcomes rather than lowering expectations. What an embarrassment.

Lindsay Clancy Defense Lawyer Suggests a Single Juror is Standing in the Way of a Not Guilty Verdict

Mediaite.com:

Lindsay Clancy’s defense attorney Kevin Reddington appeared to suggest on Thursday that a single juror is in the way of a not guilty verdict for Lindsay Clancy. 

 

Reddington addressed the court after Judge William Sullivan called jurors back into the courtroom to reiterate the definition of reasonable doubt. 

 

Reddington said:

The court has an instruction from the foreperson of that jury that’s been working for a week now saying that there’s one juror who refuses to listen to the law that you’ve given him or her on reasonable doubt, and I suggest, respectfully, that the soft instruction that you gave them, saying at the sidebar, can you listen to the law as I instruct you, does not focus on the issue. It is the question is not sufficient enough. 

 

It does not allow any foundation for a motion to remove the juror who refuses to accept your instructions on the law, on reasonable doubt. And if we come back here in a half an hour with a mistrial, because of a juror that has just spurned the instructions of this court, it’s a shame. It’s a real shame. And that’s why I object to the court’s ruling. I request that we have further inquiry. I request that — my motion is to remove this juror that refuses to listen to your instruction on reasonable doubt.

Clancy has been on trial for five weeks to determine if she can be held criminally responsible for killing her three children, Cora, Dawson, and Callan in January 2023. Clancy, who experienced postpartum depression and psychosis, has pleaded not guilty, and her attorney has argued she cannot be held responsible for strangling the children to death due to insanity. 

 

Clancy currently faces five potential outcomes: first-degree murder, second-degree murder, manslaughter, not guilty by reason of insanity, and not guilty.

If what Clancy's lawyer is stating is true then may God give that juror the willpower to hold the forth. Because Lindsay Clancy is a monster and a serial murderer who methodically strangled and killed her children one by one. And the day we allow post-partum depression, etc. to be an excuse to murder your kids is a wreckoning that I can't even begin to comprehend.

California Governor Gavin Newsom Signs ‘Stop Nick Shirley Act’ into Law

ContraCostaNews.com:

On Saturday, Governor Gavin Newsom signed the “Stop Nick Shirley” Act into law. 

 

Under AB 2624, it expands California’s Safe at Home program to employees of nonprofits that serve people navigating the immigration system. The law takes effect Oct. 1, 2027. 

 

The bill was given the nickname Nick Shirley Act introduced after YouTuber Nick Shirley began shooting videos and following immigration workers around while accusing them of fraud – similar to the daycare provider videos in Minnesota.

Liberal California and its wacky governor sign a bill that effectively silences journalists from exposing fraud. One would think that the msm as a whole would galvanize around and support Shirley on this latest display of radical, left-wing tyranny, while speaking up too for the 1st Amendment. But because Shirley is a conservative, that's not going to happen and that's why the media can't be trusted.

SCOTUS Hands Trump Election Takeover Victory

CNN.com:

The Supreme Court on Monday permitted President Donald Trump to move forward with a controversial executive order targeting mail ballots, but the decision will almost certainly not be the final word in whether the administration can actually implement its far-reaching plan. 

 

At the center of the dispute is an executive order Trump signed in March that gives the US Postal Service an unprecedented role in deciding whether to send mail ballots — a move that has followed years of the president making baseless claims about illegal voting by mail. 

 

But the Supreme Court’s order, which came over the dissent of three liberal justices, doesn’t resolve the legality of Trump’s proposal. The president’s plan for the USPS remains blocked on a nationwide basis. And further court action is almost certain to put Trump’s executive order before the justices again, potentially within a few days. Overnight, the Trump administration asked a lower court to clear another hurdle still blocking implementation of the president’s USPS directives.

SCOTUS’ finding that the states lacked standing was based on the circumstances when their complaints were filed in April, when neither a proposed nor final regulation existed and the alleged harms were considered hypothetical. Those circumstances have now changed, as both proposed and final regulations are in place, allowing the plaintiffs to identify specific provisions and explain how they would be harmed if the rule takes effect. The Court appears to be signaling that the facts are materially different now and that the standing question could therefore produce a different outcome. The timing may also be significant, given that the Trump administration announced its final rule on Friday, just before the Court issued its decision. With roughly 75 days remaining before the election, the next question is whether Judge Talwani or another liberal judge will attempt to block or delay implementation of the final rule in the coming days or weeks.

Court Orders Conservative Activist Kirralie Smith to Pay Nearly $100K and Apologize in Vilification Case

StarObserver.com:

Anti-trans activist and Binary Australia spokesperson Kirralie Smith has been ordered to pay $95,000 in fines and issue a public apology after she was found to have vilified two trans women earlier this year. 

 

On August 23, Deputy Chief Magistrate Sharon Freund found that Smith and Binary Australia- formerly anti-marriage equality group Marriage Alliance- incited hatred and serious contempt for two women, who were targeted after playing football with their local clubs. 

 

It marked the first time someone had been found to have unlawfully vilified a person for being trans under NSW law.

Crazy. Now we've got transgender activists infiltrating the Australian government and, rather than simply coexisting with people who hold different views, pushing policies that dictate how others are expected to speak and think with the consequences being financial penalties for those who refuse to comply. If that's not a combination of censorship and blatant indoctrination, I don't know what is.

Supreme Court Allows States to Bar Boys from Playing in Girls’ Sports

NYTimes.com:

A divided Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld two state laws barring the participation of transgender female athletes from girls’ and women’s sports teams. The court’s 6-to-3 ruling deals with laws from West Virginia and Idaho but has implications for the 25 other states with similar restrictions, and for athletes who compete in school and collegiate sports nationwide. 

The Trump administration, which backed the state bans, has targeted the participation of transgender athletes in sports amid a national rollback of rights for transgender people. President Trump directed federal agencies last year to withdraw funding from schools that allow transgender athletes in girls’ and women’s sports. 

The cases attracted intense public interest, with Olympians and other elite athletes watching closely and submitting legal briefs in support of each side. In March, the International Olympic Committee barred transgender athletes from competing in the women’s category of the Olympics and said that all participants in those events must undergo genetic testing. The N.C.A.A. announced last year that it would bar trans women from competing in women’s sports.

Nice to see common sense win out here, but damn if this isn't still dangerous political time. And that's because three, liberal Supreme Court justices threw fairness aside and sided with the "transgender boy". Unbelievable, but to be expected from a far-Left cult based more on ideology and identity politics than anything else. And with an msm that's gone so far-Left that they're even adopting radical terms like "sex assigned at birth", the red flags have long been posted for what may be coming down the line the next time we have a Democrat President.

Suspect in New York City Subway Shove Death was Released from Psych Hold Hours Before

ABC7NY.com:

The man charged with murder in the fatal shoving of a 76-year-old man at a Chelsea subway station was released from psychiatric hold mere hours earlier, police say. 

 

Police say their suspect, 32-year-old Rhamell Burke, came up behind the victim, 76-year-old Ross Falzone, and pushed him down the 18th Street station stairs just after 9:30 p.m. on Thursday. 

 

Officers found Falzone unconscious and unresponsive. Officials say he suffered a traumatic brain injury, a fractured spine and a fractured rib and was pronounced dead at Bellevue Hospital just before 3 a.m. on Friday. Police say the shoving appeared to be unprovoked, and the death is being investigated as a homicide.

Unbelieveable. But the death of 76-year-old retired teacher Ross Falzone is yet another grim example of what happens when soft-on-crime policies, ideological naïveté, and misplaced “suicidal empathy” are allowed to override basic public safety. Indeed, the man accused of killing Falzone, repeat offender Rhamell Burke, already had a long history of arrests involving assault and other crimes, yet he continued cycling through a system more concerned with protecting criminals than protecting innocent people. Even more disturbing, a black woman Burke allegedly attacked weeks earlier admitted she declined to cooperate with prosecutors because she “didn’t want to put another black man in jail”: a tragic illustration of how racial guilt and activist-driven thinking can cloud moral judgment. Within weeks, Burke allegedly escalated from subway harassment to lethal violence, pushing an elderly man to his death only hours after being released from psychiatric evaluation. it's cases like this that fuel growing frustration with progressive criminal justice policies that repeatedly prioritize offenders, excuses, and social theories over law, order, and the safety of ordinary people.

Appeals Court Halts Liberal Activist Judge Boasberg Contempt Inquiry Over Venezuelan Deportation Flights

TheHill.com:

A three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday halted an effort by U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg to hold contempt hearings after the Trump administration failed to suspend flights carrying Venezuelan men to be imprisoned in El Salvador. 

 

The administration has already said it was former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem who last March ordered flights to take 100 Venezuelan men to a notorious megaprison, despite an order from Boasberg ordering the flights grounded or turned around. 

 

The sharply divided rulings put an end to additional fact-finding by Boasberg, who has faced calls for his impeachment by President Trump. While two Trump appointees to the bench sided with the president and chastised Boasberg for not being sufficiently clear in his ruling, an Obama appointee said the ruling would have grave consequences should an administration flout a judge’s orders in the future.

This rebuke from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit marks a real and decisive check on what conservatives have been been railing about since Trump took office again last year: judicial overreach by activist judges like James Boasberg. But more importantly it reinforces a core constitutional principle: judges can't retroactively reinterpret vague or incomplete orders to impose criminal liability. At the heart of the ruling is not ideology, but process as the court made clear that the rule of law depends on clarity, not on a judge’s evolving intent after the fact. Therefore, for those concerned about activist judging, this decision underscores the importance of separation of powers and draws a firm line between the judiciary’s role and executive authority--in other words, Boasberg needs to be impeached, like yesterday.

Catholic Nuns Sue Liberal New York State Governor Kathy Hochul Over Mandatory Pronoun and Bathroom Laws

FOXNews.com:

Catholic nuns who have spent more than a century caring for the dying poor are suing New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, saying a new state law could force them to choose between their faith and their mission or face fines, loss of licensing and even jail time. "We are consecrated religious Sisters and have one mission," Mother Marie Edward, O.P., told Fox News Digital in a statement. "It is to provide comfort and skilled care to persons dying of cancer who cannot afford nursing care. We do not take insurance or government funds or money from our patients or families. The care is totally free." 

 

"We are supported by the goodness of our benefactors," she continued. "We do this without discriminating on the basis of race, religion, or sex. We do it because Jesus taught us that, when the least among us are sick, we should care for them, as if they were Christ himself." 

 

Signed into law on Nov. 30, 2023, the "Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender, and people living with HIV long-term care facility residents' bill of rights" bans long-term care facilities and staff "from discriminating against any resident on the basis of a resident’s actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or HIV status," according to a press release from Hochul's office.

Yet, another example of why so many Christians in this country feel that the Democrat party is hostile to them and vote Republican instead. Indeed, for 125 years, Catholic nuns in New York have operated Rosary Hill Home, a free hospice serving poor cancer patients as an act of charity. But a state law signed by Governor Hochul requires nursing homes to follow policies on "gender identity", including pronoun use, housing based on gender identity, and access to shared spaces. The nuns rightly say these requirements conflict with their religious beliefs, though they emphasize treating all patients with dignity. As a result, they now face potential fines, loss of their license, or other penalties if they do not comply, raising the possibility that the hospice could be forced to shut down. I don't know how this will do in the lower courts, but if it gets to the Supreme Court the nuns will rightly win.

Appeals Court Says Trump White House Ballroom Construction Can Proceed

CNN.com:

A federal appeals court said Saturday that President Donald Trump can move ahead for another week with construction of a massive new White House ballroom while judges consider the project. The 2-1 order from the DC Circuit Court of Appeals is a temporary win for Trump in a protracted legal fight over whether he has the authority to build the ballroom on the site of the former East Wing without express approval from Congress. 

 

The appeals court said work on the project can continue until at least April 17. The court sent the case back down to a federal judge who initially ruled against it, saying he needed to look closer at the White House’s argument that construction must continue for national security and safety reasons, and adding that the appeals court couldn’t scrutinize the notion on a “hurried record.” 

 

“It remains unclear whether and to what extent the development of certain aspects of the proposed ballroom is necessary to ensure the safety and security of those below-ground national security upgrades or otherwise to ensure the safety of the White House and its occupants while the appeal proceeds,” the judges in the majority wrote.

Of course, all this ballroom drama is only happeing because it's Trump's project as plenty of past President's have done renovations on the White House without anyone making a big deal about it. Hell, even the federal arts commission recently gave Trump approval for the ballroom, which is also being funded via private donations and Trump himself (instead of taxpayers). You'd think all that alone would be enough for the Left to fall back and just let the ballroom get completed, especially now that it's halfway doem. But leave it to these activist judges working in cahoots with anti-Trump far-Left groups that hate anything to do with the President to keep getting in the way of progress, even when it ends up being good for everyone involved.

Supreme Court Strikes Colorado Ban on Conversion Therapy for Trans and Gay Minors

NPR.com:

The Supreme Court has ruled that Colorado's law banning conversion therapy "regulates speech based on viewpoint." At issue was the practice of an evangelical Christian, Kaley Chiles, a counselor who wants to provide talk therapy to teenagers seeking to discuss their sexual orientation or gender identity, including those hoping to "reduce or eliminate unwanted sexual attractions, change sexual behaviors, or grow in the experience of harmony with one's physical body," according to her complaint. 

 

Her lawyer argued that Colorado's law prevents voluntary conversations with minors seeking her help. The majority opinion states, "the lower courts erred by failing to apply sufficiently rigorous First Amendment scrutiny.

"As applied to Ms. Chiles, Colorado's law regulates the content of her speech and goes further to prescribe what views she may and may not express, discriminating on the basis of viewpoint," the opinion says. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented, pointing to precedent on states regulating health care professionals.

Funny how much backlash KBJ's lone dissent is receiving so much online from conservatives, but like I've always said about DEI Justice Jackson: she's a radical ideologue who serves at the whim of the far-Left loons who forced Biden to nominate her, not the Constitution. That said, the fact that the other two other liberals (Kagan & Sotomayor) joined with the majority here proves what a slam-duck decision this was for SCOTUS and a big win for parents and children alike. To think, Colorado (which has long history of being hostile towards Christians) banned therapists from telling kids the truth: you can't change your gender, and gender-transition surgeries are dangerous and harmful--unconstitutional censorship of the worst kind. Thank goodness SCOTUS ruled decisively and in favor of free speech and common sense.

Las Vegas Police Refuse to Release Violent Criminal Despite Liberal Judge's Order

NYPost.com:

A Las Vegas judge is threatening to hold cops in contempt for refusing to release a violent career criminal with 35 busts on his rap sheet — a legal scrap testing the power of the bench over the badge. 

 

Las Vega Metro police are challenging the authority of Justice Eric Goodman over the fate of Joshua Sanchez-Lopez, a 36-year-old repeat felon whose priors include involuntary manslaughter, drugs and car theft, according to a report by KLAS-TV News. 

 

Goodman wants the goon released with an ankle monitor — but cops said he’s too dangerous to cut loose. “We have to take a look at that and say, ‘Is this somebody who our electronic supervision program can monitor safely in the community?” Mike Dickerson, assistant general counsel for Metro police, told the outlet. “This is an issue of public safety.”

Be really interesting to see how this plays out: an elected judge versus an elected executive officer. That said, seems like the sheriff is doing his duty in attempting to protect citizens under his jurisdiction from a repeated felon who also has a history of blowing off court appearances and skipping court-ordered rehabilitation programs. But these left-wing, soft-on-crime don't care about that, becasue they've been brainwashed to think that locking up criminals somehow doesn't serve as a deterrent to crime--even when the evidence speaks otherwise.

Liberal Kentucky Judge Cuts Rapist's 65-Year Sentence to 30 Years Due to Race, Sparks Backlash

WDRB.com:

A Jefferson County judge sentenced a Louisville man to decades in prison last week after a courtroom outburst included repeated profanities and threats directed at the bench, but the final sentence still fell far short of what a jury had recommended. 

 

Christopher Thompson, 24, was convicted of sodomy, robbery and kidnapping in December. A jury recommended a 65-year sentence, but Jefferson Circuit Judge Tracy Davis ultimately sentenced Thompson to 30 years, plus an additional four years and 120 days for multiple counts of criminal contempt stemming from his behavior during sentencing. 

 

"Before we even get appearances, Mr. Thompson, I'm going to need you to be respectful," Davis told him. Thompson responded with a string of obscenities and threats, at one point telling the judge to "eat a d***" and adding "If I could spit on you, I would.

Of course it's highly concerning, but not surprising that cases like this continue to happen, while raising questions about judicial discretion and sentencing philosophy especially when it comes to woke, black, female judges around the country. Part of a broader pattern in which these activist judges appear to prioritize rehabilitative considerations over punitive ones, particularly in serious violent crimes. Funny too how in this instance, the defendant (convicted of robbery, kidnapping, and rape) reportedly reacted with anger despite receiving a substantially reduced sentence. Indeed, the judge cited factors such as the defendant’s youth and potential for rehabilitation in deciding to cut the sentence in half, a decision that warrants serious review, with little to no care about on how the victim feels. Nonetheless, meaningful accountability for members of the judiciary (no matter how outraged conservatives online are about this case) can be extremely difficult to achieve, which makes it uncertain whether Judge Davis (clearly a Ketanji Brown Jackson-wannabee) will suffer any consequences.

Algerian Olympic Boxer Imane Khelif Has Advanced to Having Male Sex Chromosones

Outkick.com:

Imane Khelif has finally admitted to possessing XY chromosomes. 

 

In a new interview with French sports outlet L’Équipe, the Algerian boxer addressed the controversy that surrounded the women's boxing competition at the Paris Olympics, where Khelif won gold despite questions surrounding the athlete's biological sex. 

 

Khelif is not transgender but reportedly has a condition called difference of sex development (DSD).

So months after getting to compete as a 'female' so he can neat up on women boxers, Khelif confirms that he has the male chromosome--something many long knew already, but were called a 'bigot' for saying so out loud. Well, hopefully this ends the practice of weak male boxers getting to beat up their female counterparts in boxing as well as idiot publications (including right-leaning ones) using male pronouns for a man who simply says he's a woman.
