Liberal Justice System

 An employee in the park where I live stole ~$20,000 from me and two other residents by taking money intended to repair our damaged awnings and then losing it all in an online cryptocurrency scam. When I contacted the sheriff's department, I was told that because it was of a "contractual nature", it had to go through civil court, not criminal court. Unfortunately, he has no assets and lives paycheck to paycheck, so it was going to cost more than it was worth.

As if that was not bad enough, he then committed bank fraud by altering and redepositing a check. He pled guilty to the felony and was given two years of supervised probation, but no jail time and he is still employed by the park. I am beginning to think the only way you go to prison now days is to set a busload of nuns and orphans on fire in front of a police station while wearing a MAGA hat. 

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani

Babylon Bee: 

In a celebratory speech following his historic win in New York City's mayoral election, Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani promised residents that there was no problem too large for government to make worse.

"I want to speak to all the foreigners out there. Not the whites, the brown people," Mamdani said to raucous applause. "We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to make worse and no problem too small to stick our nose in."

Making large problems worse was one of Mamdani's primary campaign promises, and he seems eager to deliver. Crime was already a major problem in the city, as are housing affordability, transportation, sanitation, mental health, and homelessness. But, when Mamdani's term as mayor begins in January, he told New Yorkers that they could rest assured that he would make them all worse.

"You might think there's no way crime can get worse in this city, but you'd be very surprised. There is nothing I cannot ruin with the full weight of the government behind me," Mamdani said. "For starters, I am going to implement all of my radical ideas and make starvation a key theme of my term as mayor. Then, if you're all still alive in four years, I would invite you to re-elect me so we can finish the city off together."

Failed Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa was seen shaking his head during Mamdani's acceptance speech. "I actually wanted to save the city," he said. "That was probably the biggest problem with my campaign. That, and the beret."

At publishing time, Mamdani was preemptively given U-Haul's New York Salesman of the Year award.

Foreign Aid

With a national debt of over 38 trillion dollars, why are we giving almost 100 billion dollars a year to foreign countries including China?

SNAP (Food Stamps)

In fiscal year 2024, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) served an average of 41.7 million participants per month, at a total yearly federal cost of approximately $99.8 billion to $100.3 billion. That's over 12% of the population dependent upon government assistance. In any federal program that large, I cannot help but think how much of that is due to fraud and abuse.

Voter Fraud

An investigation by Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose has uncovered over 1,000 noncitizens who "appear to have registered to vote unlawfully in Ohio" his office announced Tuesday.

LaRose says he has referred all 1,084 cases to the Department of Justice, noting that 167 of the individuals appear to have cast a ballot in a federal election since 2018. LaRose's office also referred 135 others for potential prosecution, citing evidence of other unlawful voting activity.

I have to wonder how many of the 10-12 million illegal immigrants (a/k/a future Democratic voters) that the Biden administration let into the country have done the same thing.
