‘Thank You Joe Biden for Bringing on a Premature Death of a Life not Fully Lived’ – Covid Vaccine Death obituary in MN Blames Joe Biden
[GatewayPundit] Derek Andrew McIntosh, 41, from Monticello, Minnesota passed away unexpectedly on January 4th, 2022, due to complications from blood clots resulting in cardiac arrest after being forced to get vaccinated.

In his obituary, McIntosh had been vehemently opposed to taking the vaccine. He had no choice but to comply with the unconstitutional vaccine mandates.

#4  assuming all the facts are what is purported, the family of McIntosh has a good wrongful death lawsuit
Posted by: Lord Garth || 01/11/2022 9:08 Comments || Top||

#5  The Pfizer CEO admitted, on video, that the 1st and 2nd vaccine dose provide very limited protection, if any. He admitted that. The third and booster give 'acceptable' (to him) protection against hospitalisation and death but not infection.

In addition they knew back in 2020 that Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine were effective treatments.

But not to worry - they are working on a *new* vaccine. One which will provide so-called 'protection'.

Their lawsuit immunity should be made as effective as their vaccine. *AND* any wrongful death suits should pierce the corporate veil and be against him, and his co-horts, personally. He lied - people died.

-Great Cultural Revolution
NYC Armed Robberies Increased 19.4% In One Week


[Daily Mail] A prayer vigil for Bayron-Nieves will be held of Thursday night at the Burger King in Harlem.

The fatal robbery comes as New York City's crime rate soars after Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's controversial decision to downgrade burglary, armed robbery and drug dealing crimes felonies to misdemeanors.

The number of robberies has since increased by 19.4 percent over the course of the last week.

Meanwhile, former NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton lashed out at Bragg, claiming the city's new woke top prosecutor is 'handcuffing the police' as authorities search for Bayron-Nieves killer, while blaming George Soros for Bragg's election.

Current NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell echoed Bratton's claims, and slammed the new policy as she considered it a 'danger' to officers.

Bratton, who said that Soros has 'effectively destroyed the criminal justice system in America,' called Bragg's woke policies of downgrading burglary, armed robbery and drug dealing from felonies to just misdemeanors a 'recipe for disaster.'

Disgraced FBI No. 2 Andrew McCabe Calls For Feds To Treat ‘Mainstream' Conservatives Like Domestic Terrorists
How fortunate he no longer has any power to act on his nasty ideas.
[The Federalist] Have you ever wondered what disgraced former deputy FBI directors do after trying to stage a coup and lying under oath? Apparently, they give talks about "protecting democracy" at top-rated institutions of higher learning. Indeed, this last Thursday the University of Chicago invited former deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe to join a panel of partisans to discuss the Jan 6 "insurrection."

McCabe was fired as the deputy FBI director for leaking sensitive information about an investigation into the Clinton Foundation and then lying about it under oath. He also took part in spying on the Donald Trump campaign through a secret warrant granted by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court.

The dossier he used to obtain the surveillance warrant was funded by Hillary Clinton’s campaign and, in an ironic twist, was itself the product of Russian disinformation. McCabe and his allies in corporate media justified all sorts of similar illegal and undemocratic tactics to discredit and attempt to unseat President Trump.

#2  Did McCabe get confirmed by the House when he became number 2? If so everyone that voted to confirm him should be delivered a box of horsedung.

Also anything he said during confirmation that turned out to be a lie should be acted on as that would/could be considered lying under oath.

Government Corruption
Eric Adams has only hobbled his war on crime by giving his his brother and Phil Banks top jobs
[NYPOST] Mayor Eric Adams
...retired New York City police captain, member of the New York State Senate, first Black Brooklyn borough president, law and order Dem after a brief fling with the Publicans. The New York Times isn't fond of him, suspecting he may not actually be black...
vowed to restore law and order, but tapping his own brother, Bernard Adams, as a deputy NYPD commissioner and controversial Phil Banks
...now entering our archives for the first time...
as deputy mayor for public safety can only cause needless distractions and doubt.

Many will assume his deputy-commish choice was straight-up nepotism. That will add to concerns over Banks, who comes with a cloud over his head, overseeing a department that needs all the support it can get amid surging crime, Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s pro-criminal orders and continued anti-police hostility from the left.

Worse, the mayor claims he chose his brother to protect him from "white supremacy
...the pernicious doctrine that laws were intended to be obeyed, that society works better when people don't pour shreiking from their places of worship every Friday for a weekend of rioting over insults real or imagined; and that cannibalism, beastiality, incest, murder, theft, rape, and similar activities are bad. A Dead White European (which invalidates his opinion) philosopher once opined that societies thrive when a person's word can be relied upon, and that a society which puts individual happiness first will invariably fail. Strangely enough, other successful societies, such as China, Japan, Korea, and those kinds of places could also be lumped with white supremacist societies, since they push the same values...
": Bernard "will be in charge of my security, which is extremely important to me at a time when we see an increase in white supremacy and hate crimes."

"We have a serious problem with white supremacy," he continued. Huh? In ultra-blue New York? (Hate crimes did rise last year, but nearly two thirds targeted Asians and Jews, less than 6% were aimed at blacks.)

No one seriously believes that tough-guy, ex-cop Eric Adams really feels so unsafe. (His folks won’t say whether he’s faced any specific threats from white supremacists or from the anarchists he also cited.)

Bernard was a cop for 20 years, but he’s a retired police sergeant who recently worked as assistant director for parking at Virginia Commonwealth University, per his LinkedIn profile. And he tells The Post he’ll oversee governmental affairs — in a civilian position (that typically draws a $242,000 salary).

NY Republicans sue to block City Council measure allowing non-citizens to vote
[NYPOST] A group of New York Republicans filed a lawsuit Monday to block a new law that will soon allow about 800,000 non-citizens to vote in local elections.The suit, filed in Staten Island Supreme Court
...the political football known as The Highest Court in the Land, home of penumbrae and emanations...
, asks a judge to issue an injunction that prevents the city Board of Elections and the mayor from "implementing the law in any respect" due to its unconstitutionality.

"The law is clear and the ethics are even clearer: we shouldn’t be allowing citizens of other nations to vote in our elections, full stop. We are only two weeks into the Adams Administration and he is already kowtowing to the radical City Council," New York Republican Party Chairman Nick Langworthy, a plaintiff in the suit, said in a statement.

"This lawsuit is the only thing that will stop them from their ultimate goal of eradicating all the lines between citizens and non-citizens," he said.

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY), who represents Staten Island and Brooklyn, called the new measure "careless," claiming it "dilutes" perspectives of US citizens.

Colorado Rep. Perlmutter becomes 26th House Democrat to duck '22 reelection
[NYPOST] Rep. Ed Perlmutter has joined the stampede of House Democrats who say they will not run for reelection later this year.

In a Monday statement, the 68-year-old Perlmutter (D-Colo.) announced his departure from Congress, saying it was time to "pass the torch to the next generation."
"of Constitutional arsonists"
"After much thought and consideration, I have decided not to run for reelection," he wrote. "I have loved representing my friends, neighbors and fellow Coloradans in the Congress of the United States of America. I will miss meeting the voters of the new 7th District — it is truly the most beautiful district in America."

Perlmutter’s district has become more competitive due to redistricting. However,
corruption finds a dozen alibis for its evil deeds...
the politician said that the Democratic "bench in the 7th District is deep and fortunately we have a strong group of leaders who are ready and able to take up that torch."

Perlmutter is the 26th House Democrat to say they will not seek another two-year term and the 18th to retire from Congress altogether. His retirement announcement followed that of Rep. Brenda Lawrence (D-Mich.) last week.

Angry biz leaders to meet with new DA Alvin Bragg, discuss recall efforts over soft-on-crime agenda
[NYPOST] The Partnership for New York City, the Big Apple’s largest business advocacy organization, will meet with progressive Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg to voice their concerns over details of his stay-out-of-jail free card for criminals.Some members of the group are so angered by Bragg’s new policies that they are also discussing efforts to recall the newly elected prosecutor, The Post has learned.

The meeting was prompted as complaints from city business leaders poured into the office of Kathryn Wylde, the Partnership’s CEO, beginning last week after a memo from Bragg’s office outlined his new, hyper-lenient policies for prosecutors seeking incarcerations.

Bragg’s memo ordered his staff not to "seek a carceral sentence" except for murders and other extremely violent mostly peaceful cases. The memo added that Bragg’s new rule "may be excepted only in extraordinary circumstances based on a holistic analysis of the facts, criminal history, victim’s input (particularly in cases of violence or trauma), and any other information available."

GOP candidates blast Hochul for 'inaction' on Bragg's 'crazy' policies
[NYPOST] Potential Republican challengers on Monday stepped up their demands for Gov. Kathy Hochul to oust Manhattan’s new district attorney — calling his progressive prosecution policies "crazy" and her silence amid the controversy "cowardly."Andrew Giuliani, who served as an advisor to then-President Donald Trump
...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons......
, said DA Alvin Bragg will "incentivize criminals to continue to go and spiral as we have seen over the past three, four, five years in this great city."

"It is absolutely crazy," Giuliani said during a news conference outside the Murray Hill building that houses Hochul’s Manhattan office.

"It is time that Kathy Hochul removes Alvin Bragg from office."

US Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-LI), a rival for the GOP’s gubernatorial nomination, said that if Bragg "wanted to ignore the law, he shouldn’t have run for a position responsible for enforcing the law."

"New Yorkers are tired of this pathetic inaction by the governor, they’re tired of this cowardly deafening silence day after day and they are passionate about the need to strengthen public policy, public safety, the rule of law and to back our men and women in blue," he said across from the DA’s Office headquarters in Lower Manhattan.
