[NYPOST] Murders are way up so far this year in Manhattan, The Post has learned.
Sixteen people were killed around the borough between the first of the year and Sunday. Over the same period last year, the figure was 11. That's an increase of about 45 percent.
Shootings in the borough have also soared.
There have been 50 "shooting incidents'' since Jan. 1, compared with 31 in the same time period in 2014 -- an increase of about 38 percent. Some of these "incidents'' involved more than one victim.
The number of shooting victims nearly doubled, from 33 to 61.
"City Hall better wake up soon," a police source said. "When murders and shootings go up in Manhattan, everyone is affected,'' he said, pointing out that crime impacts business, tourism and the city's economy as a whole.

Abortions are down, shootings are up. Not to worry, it's a carefully choreographed balancing act. Order a pizza and flip on a Yankees game.

If Progressives are happy to embrace numbers well within the statistical error margin as 'proof' of gerbil warming, then this is certainly 'proof' that murder and mayhem are on the lose in Manhattan.

[Tass] Dmitry Dyakonov has been charged with embezzlement or misappropriation of funds carried out either by an organized group or in a large-scale amount This is the tip of the iceberg as it's not the 1.8 billion smackers..
MOSCOW, May 25. /TASS/. Moscow's Basmanny court ruled on Monday to place under house arrest a director general of a firm that was involved in embezzlement schemes of the Khrunichev Space Research & Production Center, a core company of Russia's space industry.
"The court satisfied a motion of the investigator on placing Dmitry Dyakonov under house arrest until June 25," the court's spokesperson, Anna Fadeyeva, told TASS.
Dyakonov, the head of Ecopravo firm that worked under a contract with the Khrunichev company, has been charged with embezzlement or misappropriation of funds carried out either by an organized group or in a large-scale amount.
According to media reports, Dyakonov signed a contract with Alexander Ostroverkh, a deputy of the then-head of the Khrunichev company, on providing auditing and legal services to it and received 22,000 euros per month plus 5% from the sums.
Between 2007 and 2014, Dyakonov provided Ostroverkh with service acceptance certificates that contained fraudulent information. These documents included reports on audits of the company between 2007 and 2011.
In total, Ecopravo has received more than 285 million rubles ($5.7 million at current exchange rate) from the Khrunichev center.

Real question is: what did he do to piss off the oligarchs and Putin to the point where they are throwing him under the train? (not a bus, much bigger).
A federal appeals court upheld an injunction against President Obama's new deportation in a ruling Tuesday that marks the second major legal setback for an administration that had insisted its actions were legal.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled in favor of Texas, which had sued to stop the amnesty, on all key points, finding that Mr. Obama's amnesty likely broke the law governing how big policies are to be written.
"The public interest favors maintenance of the injunction," the judges wrote in the majority opinion.

Good.
...marks the second major legal setback for an administration that had insisted its actions were legal.
Pretty much nothing he is doing is legal. At this point impeachment would be too good for him.
Dissent claimed that this is a political issue that needs to be resolved by Congress and the Executive. This completely misses the point. Maybe immigration policy is a political issue, but whether or not the executive has the constitutional authority to act on its own is most certainly a legal one.

A fun fact about the majority opinion is that it explicitly approves the use of the term "illegal alien". None of this "undocumented" stuff.
And when you read tomorrow about how evil and conservative the Fifth Circuit is, don't let them forget that the Fifth Circuit led the way in advancing civil rights.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
