Blue City State Schadenfreude - Elections have Consequences

‘Not in my backyard’: Migrants fall victim to NIMBYism as states struggle with influx​

CHICAGO — Democratic strongholds are struggling to keep helping the surge of migrants in their cities and states — and it’s sparking anxiety in the party about potential fallout heading into the 2024 election cycle.

New York Mayor Eric Adams’ tussle with the White House over an influx of migrants from red states has famously soured his relationship with President Joe Biden. But he’s far from the only blue state official pushing back, as public pressure and budget concerns rise in Illinois, Massachusetts and beyond.

“You’re hearing sentiments that are not dissimilar from what you would hear at [Donald] Trump rallies where asylum-seekers are referred to as illegals,” Chicago Alderperson Andre Vasquez, who heads the Chicago City Council’s Committee on Immigrant and Refugee Rights, said in an interview. “There are people who are saying ‘the Democratic Party isn’t doing anything for us’ and ‘look at what we’re stuck with.’”

Democrat-Run Philadelphia Endures Second Night of Mass Looting​

Law enforcement said over 50 people were arrested after the apparently organized groups hit several areas, breaking into stores and stealing, Fox News reported Thursday.

Video footage shows some in the groups leaving stores while carrying black bags filled with items. At one point, several individuals step out of a broken window with bottles of what appears to be alcohol in their arms.

“Oh yeah, the cops coming,” one person is heard saying from behind the camera as the looting continues:

Seattle’s so woke that the criminals think they run the justice system now, and we can prove it.

There was a delicious bit of schadenfreude in court on Thursday listening to an accused bad guy ask plaintively of a judge (paraphrasing here) “Wait, why can’t I get the easy-on-criminals treatment that every other bad guy has gotten?”

The crimes this guy and five of his friends are accused of pulling off are egregious and frightening, as I reported recently in my West Coast, Messed Coast™ report.

The six black men are accused of following Asian people in several Seattle area neighborhoods and attacking them at their homes, sometimes using a taser to disable their helpless victims.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker calls on Biden to direct migrants AWAY from his state - despite boasting it was the 'most welcoming in the nation' just two years ago​

• Pritzker joins New York City Mayor Eric Adams and New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy among liberals complaining about the influx
• Chicago alone has seen 13,000 migrants arrive in the city since August 2022, and the surge is expected to cost taxpayers $302 million
• 'Allowing just one state to lay the burden upon a certain few states run by Democrats is untenable,' Pritzker wrote

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker has become the latest Democrat to beg President Joe Biden to divert migrants away from his state.

It comes just two years after declaring his state the 'Most Welcoming State in the Nation' and expanding immigrant protections.

Pritzker joins New York City Mayor Eric Adams and New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy among liberals who have professed pro-migrant policies but asked that they not be housed in their jurisdiction.

Texas congressman Henry Cuellar carjacked at gunpoint in Washington, DC​

U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, was the victim of an armed carjacking Monday night in Washington, D.C., Fox News Digital confirmed.

The longtime Democratic congressman was in the Navy Yard neighborhood when the incident took place at about 9:30 p.m., according to U.S. Capitol Police. The agency, along with Metropolitan Police Department, responded to the scene at New Jersey Avenue and K Street Southeast. The entire block is closed off as police investigate.

Police are searching for three suspects, described as Black men wearing all black clothing, in connection with the carjacking, MPD said in an alert. Cuellar's stolen vehicle, a white Honda CHR, has since been recovered.

"As Congressman Cuellar was parking his car this evening, 3 armed assailants approached the Congressman and stole his vehicle," Cuellar's chief of staff Jacob Hochberg said in a statement. "Luckily, he was not harmed and is working with local law enforcement. Thank you to Metro PD and Capitol Police for their swift action and for recovering the Congressman’s vehicle."

D'oh! Critic of Atlanta's Public Safety Training Center Finds Himself on the Wrong Side of the Law​

There have also been locals who have expressed opposition to the training center without resorting to domestic terrorism. One of those figures saved his acts of violence for another part of the city, and he recently found himself on the wrong side of the law in a story that would fit perfectly on Florida Man Friday.

WSB-TV reports that Matthew V. Johnson, 33, is the founder of Beloved Community Ministries, which “aims to support social justice movements.” A GoFundMe for Beloved Community Ministries demonstrates how Johnson and his progressive Christian allies set out to help the domestic terrorists:

Beloved Community directed the bulk of its operational capacity toward the fight to Defend the Atlanta Forest (DTAF) and Stop Cop City (SCC), supporting the organizers, activists, and concerned citizens who have been on the frontlines of this struggle. This support includes spiritual care/counseling, conflict mediation, hosting community forums, guided meditation and yoga sessions, and several forms of on-the-ground support and coordination.

That’s right: an ostensibly Christian ministry is trying to provide yoga and meditation for carpetbagging Antifa thugs causing problems for a city trying to build a public safety training center for minority residents who want and need it. Now that we’ve established Johnson’s anti-police cred, let’s take a look at his almost comical crime spree.

Progressive City Plans to Hand Out 'Guaranteed Incomes' To Transgenders, Illegal Immigrants​

According to 1,719 pages of documents from the City of San Francisco, obtained by Judicial Watch, San Francisco will allocate tax dollars on a preferential basis for black and Latino transgender individuals through a program that offers financial assistance to transgender people, Fox News Digital reported:

Program documents, including those on its public website, say it prioritizes enrollment by race as well as those who engage in "survival sex trades," those who have been in prison, and illegal immigrants.

"The program will prioritize enrollment and retention of BIPOC [Black, Indigenous People of Color] trans and nonbinary people who also engage in survival sex trades, living with disabilities, elders, living with HIV/AIDS, undocumented, monolingual Spanish speakers, formerly incarcerated, and unhoused and marginally housed," one document says.

The documents also state that the enrollment will ensure that the 55 participants are 66% BIPOC — or Black, Indigenous People of Color — as well as "at least 30% Black Trans Women and at least 20% Latinx Trans Women."

"These disturbing new documents confirm how, among other leftist extremist policies, San Francisco is abusing tax dollars to give cash to individuals based on race and transgender quotas," Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement.

Democratic Mayor London Breed claimed that the transgender community experiences higher poverty rates and discrimination. She said that means these groups have the greatest need for financial support, making them the city's number one priority. Never mind, apparently, the city's residents and small business owners who continue to be targeted for organized retail theft and vandalism — or other kinds of homeless individuals, veterans for example, who don't meet the marginalization criteria to receive the city's prioritized help.

See, I really want to know who neck tattoo and old white guy are. Neck tattoo (NT) says its his building. Old white guy takes charge and orders everyone around.

My guesses. NT, is the founder of some nonprofit being paid stupid money to manage this place, maybe provide the security. Old white guy, he's the city liaison with this place. Works for the city, office of the Mayor or housing?

So, a non-profit being used as a front to fund terrorism. Boy that's not a new thing at all.

Police Perplexed: D.C. Carjackings Spike 111% After Lack of Prosecutions​

Carjackings occur nearly everywhere in the District. The hot spots are near the H Street Corridor and across the Anacostia River bordering Maryland, police data shows.

Those arrested for jacking cars are primarily below 18 years of age. Sixty-five percent of those arrested are juveniles, according to police data.

U.S. Attorney for D.C. Matthew Graves suggested in August that his office would crack down on some crimes involving juveniles. His office does not generally prosecute them. According to 2022 District statistics, Graves refused to prosecute 67 percent of those arrested who could have stood trial in the D.C. Superior Court. Among juvenile crime, he refused to prosecute 26 percent, according to data obtained by the Washington Post.

President Joe Biden nominated Graves to his position in 2021, and the Senate confirmed him.

“A majority of the individuals arrested for robberies and a super majority of the individuals arrested for carjackings are juveniles,” Graves admitted. “In general, our office does not have a role in prosecuting juveniles for armed robberies, and consequently armed carjackings. We do, though, have the ability to charge 16 and 17-year-olds as adults.”
