-Lurid Crime Tales-
At least half a dozen more victims of gun violence reported overnight in NYC
[NYPOST] At least half a dozen people were shot across the Big Apple overnight, police said Thursday — as the surging gun violence shows no signs of slowing.

One of the incidents was fatal — and allegedly involved the gang member accused of opening fire on NYPD officers in Brooklyn around 11:15 p.m.

Sources said Boyce Hayward is suspected in a shooting just minutes earlier in Bushwick that left a 28-year-old man dead and a 21-year-old man hospitalized.

Both victims — who sources said were members of the Crips gang — were shot multiple times in the torso inside a white BMW SUV before the suspect fled.

The fatal encounter adds to the soaring number of shootings so far this year, which has seen more than 450 shooting incidents with over 500 victims of gunplay.

Caribbean-Latin America
Mexican President: VP Harris Vows to Send Virus Vaccines During Border Security Talks
[Breitbart] U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris told Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador during a recent virtual meeting on border security that the U.S. would send surplus coronavirus vaccines to Mexico once health officials approve them for use.

Harris “told us they are very willing to deliver to countries that don’t have vaccines what they’ve accumulated from the AstraZeneca vaccine,” the Mexican president, known as AMLO, told reporters Tuesday.

“But before making those shipments, they are carrying out tests on the vaccines because they don’t want to send something that’s not in good condition, that they’re not vaccines which have expired,” he said.

VP Harris, tapped by President Joe Biden to lead the White House response to the crisis at the U.S. southern border by addressing the root causes of migration, offered the vaccines during a virtual meeting with the Mexican president last Friday. The White House readout of the conversation suggested was primarily focused on immigration.

The Biden administration’s vaccine gift could be seen as a quid pro quo — a means to motivate Mexico to intensify immigration enforcement.

So far, the Mexican immigration authorities appear to be primarily targeting illegal migrants from Central America.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data for April shows arrests of single adults from Mexico increased to levels not seen since the 2000s.

The number of Mexican nationals apprehended by CBP in April was nearly three times higher than in May 2019, a hectic month during the last migration surge.

Overall, the number of migrants encountered by CBP agents reached record levels in April, suggesting Mexico is not doing much to secure its southern border and stem the migrant surge at the U.S. southern border.

On Tuesday, Breitbart Texas reported:

The number of migrants encountered by officers and agents operating under U.S. Customs and Border Protection along the southwest border with Mexico jumped for the 11th straight month. In April, Border Patrol agents and CBP officers encountered more than 178,000 migrants — a nearly 945 percent increase over the same month in 2020.

#4  LET Exclusive – Is Maricopa County Controlled by George Soros?
Maricopa County and the Phoenix metroplex are large areas… but this was still an election for a county sheriff. You have to wonder why the notorious billionaire would invest so much in Penzone’s campaign. But to answer that question, you only need look as far as Penzone’s Chief of Staff and Special Counsel, Stephanie Fleischman Cherny.

Former and current members of the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Department have strongly indicated the reasons for this outside intervention, and laid out a trail of bread crumbs that led to Penzone becoming sheriff, changing nearly every policy in the department to align with the ACLU’s narrative and agenda and placing deputies in the dangerous and conflictual position of declaring their steadfast loyalty to Penzone or face significant repercussions – made-up internal affairs investigations, secret meetings, and direct action to prevent deputies from laterally moving to other departments or police forces.

#5  Where is the Soros of the right?

Soros incentivizes criminality. His agencies attract the corrupt, mercenary and dishonest abusers of authority. He finances the efforts of beings like Patrisse Cullors etc and they zealously do the needful. All criminals. Highly motivated, they move heaven and earth to serve his vision [whatever the fcuk it be] braving jail, litigation, public ire.

Where is such energy in the right wing, such motivation? All they believe in is electing a like minded guy and rallying around him. The other side aims to replace the very institutions of election, court, law etc with chaos. Chaos that the globalist can come in and say 'exists because your ideas of governance are incorrect, ours are better'.

The Green New Deal's Shock Troops
[ISSUESINSIGHTS] The news didn’t last long in the cycle. But it deserved more attention. Americans don’t need an army of indoctrinated global warming zealots lecturing, hectoring, and harassing them over their insignificant carbon dioxide emissions. They should be aware of what their "superiors" in Washington want to unleash on them.

As reported May 5 by Fox News, "Rep. Alexandria Boom Boom Ocasio-Cortez
Dem Congressgirl from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus in Congress. One of the Great Minds of the 21st Century, she is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details. She was the inventor of the Green New Deal, though she doesn't talk about it much anymore...
and other progressive politicians are calling for the creation of a 1.5 million-strong group of civilians to work on federally funded projects addressing climate change as part of their sweeping Green New Deal legislation."

This $10 billion show, which President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. The very model of probity....
wants as part of his "infrastructure" plan, would be called the Civilian Climate Corps, its foot soldiers trained to work with community groups on projects intended to "reduce carbon emissions, enable a transition to renewable energy, build healthier and more resilient communities, implement conservation projects with proven climate benefits, and help communities recover from climate disasters."

Biden kills Trump's sculpture garden of ‘American heroes'
[Politico] President Joe Biden on Friday revoked several of the executive orders issued in his predecessor’s last year in office that were penned to address conservative cultural grievances, including the sculpture garden he proposed on July 4 at an event at Mount Rushmore.

Biden rescinded a pair of executive orders tied to the creation of what former President Donald Trump envisioned as a "National Garden of American Heroes," one of which was signed on Jan. 18, just days before Trump was set to leave office.

The now-rescinded order warned of "dangerous anti-American extremism" and stated that the garden would be "America’s answer to this reckless attempt to erase our heroes, values and entire way of life."

In addition to seminal political and historical figures, Trump’s garden would have included an array of high-profile individuals like basketball player Kobe Bryant, "Jeopardy!" host Alex Trebek and legendary baseball pitcher Cy Young.

It was virtually assured that Biden would not move forward with the project, which was put forward in large part as a counter to last summer’s racial justice protests and the debate surrounding the removal of monuments to Confederate icons.

"These statues are not ours alone, to be discarded at the whim of those inflamed by fashionable political passions; they belong to generations that have come before us and to generations yet unborn," read the text of another one of Trump’s orders that Biden nixed, which directed the Justice Department to prioritize prosecuting people who vandalize federal monuments.

Regarding the deleted Hard Drives.
I have had ITSEC people escort drives to a company that specializes in data recovery to maintain chain of custody and ferry the evidence back.

2 companies quickly come to mind.
both can recover from all types of data loss, including deletion, reformatting,and more.

One I knows sells an APP that recovers formatted drives.



Regarding the Passwords

Items missing: Passwords necessary to access vote tabulation devices.

Response: The County does not have custody or control of this information.

Does this mean Dominion only has access? Then how did they count the votes?

#4  We hire private companies to conduct our elections and then let them use programmable computers, connected to the internet, and allow them to wipe these computers' data after they've submitted their tabulations.

And this is supposed to be a model of advanced governing and free and fair elections for the world?

What a complete shitshow our nation has become

Radical Marxist Neera Tanden lands ‘senior' White House job
Personnel is policy.
[CitizenFreePress] President Joe Biden’s lone Cabinet choice who was rebuffed by Congress has landed a job as a White House senior adviser. Neera Tanden had been Biden’s pick to lead the Office of Management and Budget but withdrew her nomination in March after it was clear that she would not garner enough Republican support to be confirmed.

Tanden will now be a senior advisor to Biden, the White House said Friday. She will launch a review of the US Digital Service and begin planning for possible policy changes that could result from the forthcoming Supreme Court decision on GOP legal challenges to the Affordable Care Act.

Tanden, a close ally of White House chief of staff Ron Klain, will depart the think tank Center for American Progress. Its founder, John Podesta, said that “Neera’s intellect, tenacity, and political savvy will be an asset to the Biden administration.”

Republicans Urge Biden to 'Immediately' End Negotiations with Iran
[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] US Republicans on Thursday stepped up calls on President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem mschine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family...
to end talks to return to a nuclear agreement with Iran.

In a letter to Biden, Republican senators said that any sanctions relief would let Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
step up funding for Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,.

"We call on you to immediately end negotiations with Iran, and make clear that sanctions relief will not be provided," said the letter led by Senator Marco Rubio
...The diminutive 13-year-old Republican U.S. Senator from Florida...
and signed by all but six Senate Republicans.

"Doing so would demonstrate a firm commitment to our closest ally in the region and to our own security interests."

They also pointed to Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif
...Persian foreign minister, Mouthpiece of Mullahs, good friend of John Kerry and similar exemplars of Merkin values...
, who "controls" Iran’s negotiating team in Vienna, while Tehran supports terrorism in the world.

Republican senators detailed the attacks by Paleostinian terrorist groups — more than 1,000 missiles fired at Israel in the past few days.

"This includes the first missiles aimed at Jerusalem since 2014," they reminded the president.

"The United States engaging in active negotiations with Iran and potentially providing billions of dollars in sanctions relief will no doubt contribute to Iran’s support of Hamas and other terrorist organizations who attack Americans and our allies," the Senators wrote.

"In the wake of Hamas’ recent attacks on Israel, the United States should take all necessary measures to hold Tehran accountable and not ease sanctions on Iran under any circumstances," they wrote.

In the same context, a group of US senators sent a letter to the international business community, warning companies against resuming trade with Iran if the Biden administration removes sanctions on Tehran to rejoin the 2015 nuclear deal.

"Your member companies may see this potential removal of US sanctions on Iran as a lucrative opportunity. Trust us, they should not," the letter read.

"If US sanctions on Iran were temporarily lifted and these firms decided to re-enter the Iranian market, they would be investing in ventures doomed to fail.

Any agreement that does not receive the broad and bipartisan support of Congress will not survive if a Republican is elected president in 2024. "Any sanctions relief will also be severely limited if Republicans win back majorities in Congress in 2022," the group stressed.

Biden's Blast from the Past — The Return of the Misery Index
[AMERICANTHINKER] This week has the distinct smell of Democrats in charge. We have gas lines again, more cars waiting to fill up their gas tanks than ever waiting to hear candidate Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem mschine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family...
speak at his sparsely attended campaign car rallies.

War is breaking out in the Middle East with Paleostinian bully boyz lobbing missiles at Israel, and Israel appropriately responding to attacks on its homeland. I wonder if Obama’s "pallets of cash" paid for any Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, missiles? Or if the planned restoration of $235 million in US aid to the Paleostinians has freed up cash for missiles?

Inflation and unemployment are both rising. It’s like traveling back in time to the late 1970s, dancing to the Bee Gees’ "Stayin Alive" under a mirror disco ball. But now it’s 2021 and we are dancing to Biden’s fiddle.

The rhyme these days is something older readers may remember, the "Misery Index". One can hearken back to the days of President Jimmy Malaise Carter
...only the second worst president ever...
, the former peanut farmer turned US President, from 1976 to 1980, before Ronald Reagan taught America what conservatism was and could offer not only to America but the world.

The "Misery Index" is an economic indicator created by economist Arthur Okun to provide a simple numeric measure of how the average Joe or Jane is doing economically. It is rather simple to calculate, without need of an advanced economics degree or proficiency in differential equations.

As a measure of overall hardship in the economy, or a way to quantitate discomfort, pain, or misery, depending on what the actual number is, it can be calculated quite easily.

It is the sum of the current seasonally adjusted unemployment plus the current inflation rate. One does not even need a calculator assuming one has a basic knowledge of arithmetic. Unless of course, one subscribes to CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who knows what it might stand for...
’s "Math is racist" premise, in which case Don Lemon or Brian Stelter will need to review the simple calculation, not for accuracy but for wokeness.

Jimmy Carter used the misery index in his 1976 presidential campaign against incumbent Gerald Ford since at the time there was no FISA court to authorize illegal spying on presidential candidates. In January 1975, almost two years before the election, the misery index was a whopping 19.9%.

It dropped below 15% ahead of the election, but still made for a great campaign issue for Carter to use against Ford. Carter won the election and instead of lowering the misery index, he allowed karma to bite him hard. Ford almost hit 20% during his administration, but Carter said, "Hold my beer" and jacked it up to almost 22% in June 1980, just months before Ronald Reagan sent Carter back to Georgia.

Bill de Blasio stuffs his face in show and tell presser: 'I have never been so repulsed'
[BIZPACREVIEW] In an attempt to convince New York City residents to obtain the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
vaccine, Mayor Comrade Bill de Blasio
...cryptocommie mayor of New York and for some reason a Dem candidate for president in 2020. Corrupt and incompetent, his qualifications for office seem to consist of being married to a black woman, with whom he honeymooned in Cuba. He has a preppy-looking son named Dante, whose Divine Comedy involved getting his back hair up when a police car drove past him slowly. New Yorkers voted for him, so they deserve him...
stuffed his mouth full of fast food during a briefing Thursday morning.

The "repulsive" performance was part of a joint promotion between the city and the fast food restaurant Shake Shack.

"I got vaccinated. You’re saying I could get this? These delicious fries?" the mayor said during the briefing as he pulled out some Shake Shack fries and began eating them while speaking.

"Wait a minute — but there’s also a burger element to this? Let me check with Bill Neidhardt. Is it too early in the day to eat a burger? No? This could be breakfast?" he added as he pulled out a burger and asked his press secretary for permission to eat it for breakfast.

Once he received approval — it’s not clear why he needed approval — he then bit into the burger while still speaking.

"I want you to look at this and think about — again, some people love hamburgers, some don’t, I really want to respect all ways of life — but if this is appealing to you, just think of this when you think of vaccination," he said.

Biden Cracks Under Pressure w/Blasphemous Language
(Breitbart) New York Times: Joe Biden Has Short Temper; Outbursts of Profanity

President Joe Biden has a short temper and sometimes unloads outbursts of profanity on his aides, the New York Times reported Friday.

The report notes Biden holds lengthy deliberation meetings and demands obsessive details from his advisors. When advisors get too technical or obscure about an issue, Biden responds with "an outburst of frustration, often laced with profanity."

"On policy issues, Mr. Biden, 78, takes days or weeks to make up his mind as he examines and second-guesses himself and others," the Times report continues.

The report also reveals Biden will hang up the phone on people who he feels are wasting his time.

The president leans heavily on his inner circle for governing — chief of staff Ron Klain, deputy chief of staff Bruce Reed, senior adviser Mike Donilon, and Counselor to the President Steve Ricchetti.

Biden stalls and deliberates intently on issues such as his tone toward Vladimir Putin, the report noted, appointing ambassadors, and his recent flip-flop on refugee caps.

Other details in the Times story include Biden’s love of pasta with red sauce, vanilla chocolate chip ice cream, and Special K cereal. His drink of choice? Orange Gatorade. Biden also "eschews alcohol," according to the report that adds First Lady Jill Biden is considered a connoisseur of wines.
