A sex offender freed from prison earlier this year after 35 years behind bars victimized two women in under two hours in separate “terrifying” attacks in Queens last week, prosecutors said Friday. Ralph Toro, 62, was arrested Wednesday at the Holiday Inn Express in Corona—a hotel for recently released registered sex offenders—for a midday Dec. 17 knife-point sexual assault of a 51-year-old woman in the elevator of a building at 62nd Drive and 108th St. in Forest Hills. But prosecutors revealed Friday that just an hour before Toro attacked the 51-year-old, he tried to attack a 28-year-old woman at knife-point

President Biden won the White House on a pledge to crush the coronavirus through a commitment to science, testing for anyone who wants it, and a major vaccine sprint in his first 100 days in office. Things haven’t quite gone as planned. More than a year into the vaccine drive, and nearly 12 months since Mr. Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris memorialized 400,000 COVID-19 deaths on the eve of the inauguration, the U.S. is mourning another 400,000 lives lost to the disease and now battling another winter surge in the virus. Pandemic-weary Americans face a third calendar year in which offices are shuttered, Broadway shows are postponed
Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo is backing up a Jewish congressman’s incendiary claim that he heard protesters scream “Jew!” at him during a September event in New Jersey. Garden State Democratic Rep. Josh Gottheimer caused a stir during a Dec. 13 speech at Rutgers University in which he said he was set upon by anti-Semitic protesters on Sept. 20 as he and Raimondo made a series of stops in Bergen County promoting President Joe Biden’s infrastructure bill. The pair were greeted by around 100 hecklers in Glen Rock—most of whom, Gottheimer claimed, came from the local chapter of the Working Families Party. The situation was intense enough
The USS Milwaukee has delayed its deployment to South America after sailors tested positive for COVID-19 on board. The Navy combat ship, which left Mayport, Fla., on Dec. 14, will remain docked at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, where it stopped for a scheduled port visit.
The Navy did not specify how many sailors have tested positive, but said only some of those are showing mild symptoms. All have been isolated from the healthy crew. The Milwaukee’s crew is “100% immunized,” officials said. “The ship is following an aggressive mitigation strategy in accordance with the Navy and CDC guidelines,” the Navy said in a statement Friday.
Bronx businesswoman Nicole N’Diaye quickly realized New York’s 2014 legalization of medical cannabis offered few opportunities for entrepreneurs of color. “It was almost $220,000 to get the license, which no minority I know could afford,” recalled N’Diaye, a Black woman who opted for a less competitive 2018 license for cultivating hemp and CBD.(Snip)“You can imagine how hot Harlem is and how many people—nonresidents, not-harmed individuals—are interested in opening up dispensaries and other businesses in my community, because they just view us as consumers,” said Regina Smith, executive director of the Harlem Business Alliance, who is Black and a lifelong Harlem resident.
Vice President Kamala Harris conceded in a televised interview this week that her 'biggest failure' since taking office last January has been 'not getting out of DC more,' as she continues to face criticism for making just one visit to the southern border despite the worsening migrant crisis.(Snip)In the clip, Harris, 57, seems to laugh off the question at first, before admitting: 'To not get out of DC more.'(Snip)'You know, I, we, the president and I came in, you know, COVID had already started,' she continued. 'The pandemic had started. And when we came in we really couldn't travel.' 'You know, a large part of the relationship
The German tourist who survived a bloody knife attack outside Morningside Park the day before a reputed gangbanger allegedly murdered a Columbia University grad student is back home and “healing well.” Thomas Ambuhler, 43, needed 10 stitches in his neck after being ambushed by a stranger near the Columbia University campus in the wee hours of Dec. 1. He returned to Germany five days later.(Snip)Vincent Pinkney, 25, was arrested for the stabbing rampage that claimed the life of Columbia doctoral student Davide Giri, 30. Pinkney is also accused of later wounding visiting Italian Columbia scholar Roberto Malaspina and tangling with lawyer Gregory Johnson in Central Park.
City workers need spellcheck—in Alphabet City of all places.
Department of Transportation contractors somehow managed to misspell “MPH”—the acronym for “miles per hour”—eight times along Avenue B last week. “What quality control do they have? This is outside a kids’ school, too,” said Corey Umstead, a 25-year-old project manager who burst out laughing when asked about the error. “Like, learn to read—OK?” The outrageous error was flagged on Twitter to the DOT on Dec. 18: “heya the new speed limit notifications on recently re-paved Avenue B read “20 MHP”(note the inversion)!!!! I kid you not.”
Cops had to step in Friday as a crowd mobbed a Brooklyn corner where the city was giving away free at-home COVID-19 tests. Tempers flared as the larger-than-expected crowd descended on Flatbush and Church avenues, one of five spots in the Big Apple where city health officials were doling out tests amid a surge in demand over the holidays and lack of supply. Photos from the scene showed members of the crowd raising their voices and pointing fingers—and cops tried to calm them.(Snip)Angry New Yorkers have already been very vocal about delays at the sites, reporting long lines and inconsistent availability
Washington—Vice President Kamala Harris tested negative Friday for the coronavirus following her close contact earlier this week with an aide who later tested positive, her office said. Harris, who is spending the holidays in Los Angeles, had tested negative Wednesday after she was told that the aide who had accompanied her throughout the day Tuesday had tested positive. Her office said she would be tested again Friday. A pair of tests—a rapid test and a more sensitive laboratory test—found no trace of the coronavirus, her office said. Harris is fully vaccinated, has received a booster COVID-19 vaccine dose and is regularly tested under White House
NASA's revolutionary James Webb Space Telescope has begun its one million mile voyage into solar orbit after successful lift off following decades of planning and delays. Jubilant scientists and engineers shouted 'Go Webb, go!' as the telescope module detached from its rocket and floated off into space far above the earth's surface.(Snip)The telescope is named after the late James E. Webb, an American government official who was the administrator of NASA from 1961 to 1968 and played an integral role in the Apollo program. NASA's decision to name the device after him was a controversial one–he has been accused of homophobia since his passing in 1992
Seattle—Some residents who live in the Northgate area of North Seattle are calling on City Hall to take action on a nearby encampment that has been the site of recent blazes that have raised concern among some residents. Billie Wildrick and Joshua Carter say they heard propane tanks exploding during a recent fire at the encampment located right off the ramp of Interstate 5 near Northgate Way.(Snip)“I have great empathy for these people," said Karen Gardner, landlord of the building. adding that over the past year, there’s been a shooting, growing piles of trash and drug dealing. “I cannot stand this anymore because it is a great danger

What Do We Do with the FBI Now?
54 replies
The events of the past five or six years have demonstrated to America that the FBI is no longer the unbiased law enforcement agency it once was. (snip) There are only two options: rehabilitate the FBI, or eliminate it. The current state is unacceptable in a functioning constitutional republic.(snip) The DoJ has not only failed to provide course correction to the FBI, it has arguably contributed to the problems. The rebuilding of the FBI should be overseen by a board chartered with the mission of rehabilitation, and staffed with people who care about integrity and understand what a well-functioning police organization should look like.
Santa Claus is too white, too straight and too male for most young people in the UK today, according to a poll. The modern depiction of Father Christmas as an old white man with a big bushy beard who wears a red and white suit was made globally famous by Coca Cola’s adverts of the 1930s. A survey by YouGov has now found that 60 per cent of 18–24-year-olds in the UK think it is ‘acceptable’ for Santa to be gay. But 41 per cent across all age groups said it was not OK, including 17 per cent of lesbian, gay and bisexual respondents.

Ah, tis the season of joy and happiness---NOT!
It’s time for the tyrannical power gods to inflict more terror and angst into our over stressed lives so we’ll be eager to let our government save us. The latest scourge is the limp omicron virus that is basically the common cold but media demands it wear the cloak of a bubonic-like plague. Political tyrants are mandating vaccinations or else {even though they know these vaccines are useless and, in some cases, dangerous}. Formerly independent-minded Americans have become lemmings rushing to the cliffs erected by Uncle Sam’s Plantation. "Come on, man" as Biden is wont to say.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is recruiting priests and theologians to assess how the world’s major religions would react to the news of discovering extraterrestrial life and advise the agency on how to quell civil unrest upon the revelation.The agency has enlisted 24 religious experts to develop protocols for the discovery of alien life in its Center for Theological Inquiry program at Princeton University in New Jersey.NASA provided CTI with a $1.1 million grant to create the program devoted to researching “the societal implications of astrobiology” in 2015.

Leftism is driven by committee advice; it’s how the echo-chambering communal groupthink works. After the White House COVID “Winter of Death” messaging was ridiculed and ignored by almost everyone in the general public, the communications team quickly went back to the drawing board. You can almost hear Ron Klain instructing the team to find ways to avoid the ‘Grinch team‘ labeling. However, the ordinary emotional disposition of leftists and Democrats, writ large, is depressing, angry and negative, the result from a lifetime of blame casting.
A really disturbing video from a Delta flight shows a furious woman chastising a fellow passenger for not wearing a mask while he was eating.
Except, the woman wasn’t wearing her mask either.
The footage shows the Karen shouting at a man behind her for not wearing a mask, then hitting him when he responded: “You put your mask on!”
Flight attendants tried to intervene, but the woman punched, scratched and spat on the man.

The Native American population in the U.S. grew by a staggering 86.5% between 2010 and 2020, according to the latest U.S. Census – a rate demographers say is impossible to achieve without immigration.
Birth rates among Native Americans don’t explain the massive rise in numbers. And there certainly is no evidence of an influx of Native American expatriates returning to the U.S.
The conviction of former Minnesota police officer Kim Potter for manslaughter brought closure for the family of Duante Wright and many in our society. The fact, however, is that it will not bring closure on the problem that originally lead to a hung jury until the judge sent the jury back with an instruction to try again.
(snip)As with the jury in the murder trial of Ahmaud Arbery, these jurors showed again that they exhibit the objectivity and integrity too often missing in our commentators and politicians. The question is not whether the jury got the law right but whether the law itself is wrong in its vague criteria.
According to a recent report, Amazon is aware that many owners of its Alexa devices are not using them after as little as two weeks of use.

of Democrats Don’t Believe in ‘Natural Immunity’ 31 replies
Rasmussen Reports recently conducted a nationwide survey with questions on vaccinated immunity and natural immunity after a recommendation by Becker News. “I wonder if you polled Democratic (and R, I) voters, how many would call Natural Immunity a myth?” I asked. “How many would say it is false you can get Natural Immunity from a Prior Infection?”
Rasmussen Reports was benevolent enough to ask these timely questions in a survey and release the crosstabs to Becker News before official publication. The results? Fascinating.
Christmas without Rush Limbaugh
30 replies
Millions of us are experiencing a terrible void in the absence of Rush Limbaugh this Christmas. Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” contains a character soliciting charitable donations, who reminds Scrooge that “want and grief are both felt keenly during this festive season.” Though critics (most of whom never listened to him) will never understand, Rush Limbaugh was undeniably loved by so many of us. As we celebrate what may be the last shared American tradition, Christmas, Rush’s absence is palpably felt — his voice is being missed.
