Noted in Passing: NYC is Getting Worse

  I guess outlawing the dem party is probably a non-starter, although it would solve many problems. Short of that, I say prosecute as many dems as possible; do it with political prejudice. Unseat the judges; arrest and disbar criminal politicians. It’s that, or war.

  Casey,
  I agree, but absolutely nothing is going to happen to anybody in Washington if they have a D by their name. Nobody is going to get into any kind of legal trouble for the bogus Trump/Russia nonsense. Hunter and his family is crooked as a broke dick dog and absolutely NOTHING is going to happen to them. Kerry giving classified information on Israel to Iran is going to result in nothing. Everything is becoming more and more politicized, even the military. They started with the brass and now trying to throw out, discourage any service member with a conservative mindset as white supremist. Trannies in the military? Women going to Ranger school? C’mon man. Eventually some woman is going to get “passed” through SEAL training, mark my words. Can a woman fly an F18? Sure, but God did not make them physically capable of passing a full set of SF training. I would have been fired and prosecuted for the same level of criminal behavior handling classified information as demonstrated by Hillary. It will not get better soon. I shut up now.

  “NYC is Getting Worse”
  ========
  Can’t.
  It already is worst.
  What comes after worst?
  Gonna hafta invent a new word.
  Never been there, never wanted to go there.
  All of my life the whole thing has been a ghetto.
  Pretty certain that city could vanish and I’d not notice.

  SKansas: don’t get me started on the concerted, full-court attack on our military right now!

  Now we find out why the military culture is (not politically-speaking) so conservative. The sun and the moon change, but the army stays the same.

  The funny thing about war is it demands a clear-eye and reasoned mind. Nothing less is acceptable. No other profession, other than that of arms, is a stringent regarding reality. One other – that being mountain climbing – requires one’s fullest presence of mind.

  Gender. Physical weakness. Race theory. None of that shit floats.

  We’ll all find this out soon. I guess I listened too closely to my dad, and read about, and watched too many WW II subjects in my life.

  Is there any other reason why the Left is beginning to target, culturally, military veterans, and also active service members, other than that they see us as standing in the way of their horseshit take-over plans? FA/FO (Fuck Around and Find Out).

  Brother Casey,
  Surely you understand that in order for these prosecutions (and they are well deserved for many members of the political class, republican and democrat) to proceed they must be initiated by government action. This is much like asking the fox to guard the henhouse….or worse.

  On the other hand, the Newsom recall did garner nearly 2 million votes and I believe there is something to this form of citizen initiated political action. Perhaps that is the way to fight these traitors – recall the rotten judges. Recall the corrupt pols. Recall city council criminals.

  Additionally, keep an eye on Maricopa Co., Az. They are in the early stages of an audit of 2.1 million ballots. This is not just a recount. This is a complete forensic audit. They are looking for the watermarks on ballots to insure they are legitimate. They will do follow-up canvasing to determine if the 47 ballots that all came from the same address at the same post office box were real people or dead people, or illegal aliens. They will be tearing apart the machines and the software. They are digging deep into everything.
  The dems have fought this tooth and nail and lost. They even tried to stop the the process last Friday, but now they have sent a team of 70 lawyers to AZ. What does this tell us? Tells me they are fucking terrified of being caught. They know what they did!
  And follow this logic; If there is massive vote fraud uncovered in AZ, won’t GA demand an audit?…and why not WI?….and let us not forget PA. I honestly believe they are going to find proof of massive vote fraud in AZ. It opens a big can of worms. Pressure must be kept on the legislators at the federal and state levels.

  And so, finally, while I do agree with Snake in terms of naming the culprits and setting them up for their rightful punishment, I simply can not go all the way down that road of “nothing will be done”. On the contrary, now is the time to be screaming at your local and state reps. The only way we can possibly save this country is to take control of the levers of local power. Just look at the number of states that have passed Constitutional Carry in recent months….all while the scum in the District of Criminals is proposing more gun control. The national government is completely out of touch with reality and out of touch with the citizens across this land.

  I don’t remember where I read it recently but the phrase “CIVILIZATIONAL ARSONISTS” was put forward and I really think that’s what we are looking at. It’s time to call these crazy fuckwits out for what they are -CIVILIZATIONAL ARSONISTS! These malicious, low-intelligence, Marxist loving turds need to be mocked, ridiculed, and called out for trying to destroy the greatest civilization known to man.

  “Is there any other reason why the Left is beginning to target, culturally, military veterans, and also active service members, other than that they see us as standing in the way of their horseshit take-over plans?”

  -that’s all of it I think.

  the whole country was a hurdle to global rule with our messy government and citizens. that’s got ironed out, and it’s just “us” that are in the way now.

  The Bronx?
  No Thonx!
  [Ogden Nash]
  The guy in the video thinks this is worse than the good old days of the 1980s??
  The mid 70s through to the 80s were the nadir of NYC; things have actually improved quite a bit since then, due mainly to the interventions of Mayor Rudolph Guiliani. Murders have dropped from 2200 per year during the David Dinkins mayoralty in the 80s, to under 500 per year recently. Car theft has declined from 120,000 per year to under 35,000 per year. Plenty of neighborhoods have improved, such as the Lower East Side. I remember the area around 14th street and Avenues A through C being the scene of numerous shootouts and rampant drug dealing; the area around Tompkins Square was equally bad. Both areas have improved a lot since those days. The area where TheAngryPrepper is walking (Morrisania .. 166th street near College Ave, Teller Ave, Findlay ave) is hardly the worst area of The Bronx; The Bloods and Crips aren’t the force they once were, the newcomers like MS-13 and other central american gangs are ascendent.

  Yes, TheAngryPrepper does rightly blame mayor DeBlasio for much of the recent decline, andthere is much decline versus the pre-pandemic days; DeBlasio poli’scies of releasing arrestees from Rikers Island jail, not requiring any bail to be posted, have added to the uptick in crime throughout the city. [Rikers is at less than 50% capacity, in contrast to previous eras when it was over crowded]. During the pandemic, DeBlasio used several tourist hotels on The Upper West Side to house homeless people, to the consternation of the Liberal class that lives there. There are now “restaurant” shacks blocking the sidewalks and taking parking spaces in the streets, everywhere throughout NY. As GWBNYC comments above, many areas that were once lively & crowded are now empty and deserted.
  DeBlasio deserves much of the blame, but many of the silliest proposals and laws come from the City Council, an august group of Democrats. Of the 50 members of the Council only two or three have ever been Republicans; it is a veritable One-Party State. Waaay back int 70s, there were only 11 seats on the Council, but it was decided that there would be “better” representation of the populace if there were 50 seats. Therein lies the rub.. A smaller legislature would possibly allow dissident voices to get some traction, but in a sea of 50 the majority rules with an iron fist, and they cannot be uprooted.

  Maricopa audit…
  My guess is they will find just hints of how bad the vote fraud was, but enough bogus ballots and documentation has already been destroyed to make any attempt to build any legal case against anyone but pre-positioned fall guys impossible.

  And no one in Congress will do anything to either challenge the past voter fraud or future voter fraud. And Pelosi will get her bills federalizing the Election Process passed and millions of illegals turned into voters with the stroke of a pen. And the Media will cheer and call it a great victory, like the NY State legislature cheered the Abortion at Nine Months bill.

  And the America I grew up in will drift further away on the tide.
