Dramatic video shows the moment three brazen robbers stole $51,000 worth of high-priced bags in a broad-daylight armed heist at a Manhattan Gucci store this week. The clip, released by the NYPD early Tuesday, shows two men and a woman barging into the high-end retailer on West 14th Street near Ninth Avenue in the Meatpacking District just after noon Monday. One of the crooks, seen wearing yellow gloves, holds a gun in one hand while pointing at store workers with the other, apparently ordering them to get on the floor. The thieves snag as many items as they can,

I'm sure the FIB is examining the video to see if the armed smash 'N grabbers were MAGA supporters.

Judge Edrogon weighs in... "Not so fast, I will determine what the actual fair market value of those items are. $51 Thousand is obviously a fraudulent exaggeration of their worth, and a Criminal Exaggeration as well. Once we have public hearings(media events) and a trial I will likely bar Gucci from doing ANY business in NY, ban ALL banks from allowing their cardholders to purchase Gucci Items, and force Gucci to pay ME the accumulative difference between a "Reasonable $15purse" and the millions they have already previously sold for between $150 & $150,000 each"

Not all looters and thieves are black, but so far, from all the video I've seen, all looters and thieves are black.

Actually...many of the high end clothing in store robberies are "Migrants" of various epidermal hues, organized crews. The stuff that would make for prime RICO cases if the prosecutors were not soooo busy with Trump.

That is not a crime in New York. What is a crime is borrowing money, paying it back on time with interest, and everyone is happy.

The now infamous binder contains hundreds of pages about the Crossfire Hurricane scandal. It contains damaging information about the corrupt actors involved in our government. Two different DOJ Attorney General’s have defied President Trump’s direct lawful order to publish the binder in the Federal Register. It’s been over three years now, and the DOJ continues to defy the presidential order and every FOIA request to make it public. Can we now raid the homes of former acting AG Monty Wilkinson, and current AG Merrick Garland? You can still find the link to this memorandum of declassification here.

New York Migrants Receiving Cash Welfare
Payments After Quiet Rule Change

The Democrat-controlled state of New York has been quietly handing out cash payments to thousands of migrants under a rule change qualifying non-citizens for welfare. Gov. Kathy Hochul’s Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA) modified its Safety Net Assistance (SNA) program’s parameters in 2023, making migrants who have filled out asylum application forms eligible to receive even more taxpayer dollars. A memo quietly sent out to New York welfare office workers from the Hochul administration on May 12, 2023, carefully revised the standards needed to qualify for SNA, expanding them to include “non-citizens who are considered permanently residing under color of law (PRUCOL).”

Dem Dems keep flipping the script. It’s always Opposite Day for them. Whatever they say, the opposite is the truth. Up is down and black is white. And because Democrats control most of the media, they get to make the truth whatever it is they want it to be. So, after three years living in President Biden’s fantasy world, we finally have fallen through the looking glass with Alice in Wonderland, where nothing is what it is because everything is what it isn’t.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned allies Saturday that an “artificial deficit” of weapons for his country risks giving Russia breathing space, hours after his military chief said he was withdrawing troops from the eastern city of Avdiivka. Zelenskyy spoke to the Munich Security Conference, an annual gathering of security and foreign policy officials. Ukraine is back on the defensive against Russia in the nearly 2-year-old war, hindered by low ammunition supplies and a shortage of personnel. “Ukrainians have proven that we can force Russia to retreat,” he said. “We can get our land back, and (Russian President Vladimir) Putin can lose, and this has already happened more than once on the battlefield.”

A Chinese company, with the approval of Michigan's government, is cutting down trees to build a plant to build batteries for electric vehicles. In so doing, they are effectively removing a great carbon sink - trees - to build batteries that are of questionable quality, to power electric vehicles that are of questionable effectiveness, all in the name of "green energy." A Chinese green energy firm backed by Michigan's state government is tearing down trees to make way for a proposed electric vehicle (EV) battery plant designed to help the state meet its climate goals.[snip] has received support from Democrats and climate activists

The FBI and New York City investigators raided the FDNY’s Brooklyn headquarters and the homes of two top fire chiefs Thursday morning, sources confirmed to The Post. The feds searched the homes of Brian Cordasco and Anthony Saccavino, two senior FDNY chiefs in charge of city safety inspections, as part of a corruption probe into whether they inappropriately accepted payments, according to the sources. The inquiry began last summer into allegations the chiefs had each been paid $100,000 to expedite or set up inspections, according to the New York Times, which was first to report on the raids.

The US Marshals Fugitive Recovery Task Force took the Venezuelan teen into custody in Yonkers at around 3:30 p.m., according to the sources.

He arrived in New York from Venezuela in September and has been staying at a temporary shelter at the Stratford Hotel on West 70th Street, Chell said.

Like all Rob Reiner movies, Rob Reiner’s documentary, God & Country: The Rise Of Christian Nationalism, didn’t just tank at the box office, it was humiliated. In 85 theaters, Reiner’s bigoted attack on Christians who dared to vote for Donald Trump earned just $38,415 over four days. As one website put it, that’s “averaging $451 [per] theater over four days, which is incredibly low.” If you assume it only had “one showing each day (and likely it had several), it brought in around 112 dollars a day, or ten people a day spread across however many showings.” What, you’re telling me people don’t want to see this guy’s face

The Disney Grooming Syndicate is blaming its string of box office flops on sexist fans, and I’m finding this nothing short of glorious: Everyone says “It’s the movies, stupid,” which is an easy thing for people to say. More appealing movies are a great way to jump the political issues. But more and more, our audience (or the segment of the audience that has been politicized) equate the perceived messaging in a film as a quality issue. They won’t say they find female empowerment distasteful in The Marvels or Star Wars the latest trilogy starring Daisy Ridley], but they will say they don’t like those movies because they are “bad.”

Dozens of Chicago high schools that continue to employ school-resource officers to protect students and staff from violence will no longer be allowed to do so under a plan coming before the far-left city’s education board this week. The “Resolution to Create a Comprehensive Whole School Safety Policy,” which is on the board’s Thursday meeting agenda, would prohibit the 39 city schools that continue to utilize school-resource officers from continuing to do so next school year. If approved, the resolution would direct Chicago Public School leaders to develop “a holistic approach to school safety at every District school” that “addresses root causes” of violence, and that focuses on “restorative justice”

President Joe Biden's administration is investing $20 billion to build ship-to-shore cranes in America in order to keep Chinese hackers from spying at U.S. ports. Biden will sign an executive order Wednesday to give the U.S. Coast Guard new powers to issue basic cybersecurity requirements for transportation vessels and ports amid fears Chinese hackers will target American infrastructure, including ports, as it prepares for a potential invasion of Taiwan. One particular area of focus is ship-to-shore cranes, which move cargo containers off of vessels. 'We felt there was real strategic risk here,' said Anne Neuberger, U.S., deputy national security adviser for cyber and emerging technology.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee, who is overseeing the case against former President Donald Trump, made a small donation of $150 to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ campaign prior to his appointment. McAfee, who was sworn in on Feb. 1, 2023 after being appointed by Republican Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, made his donation in June 2020 while still working as an assistant U.S. Attorney for the Department of Justice (DOJ), according to financial disclosures.

Chicago has a problem with retailers closing their doors, pulling up stakes, and getting the hell out of the city's most dangerous neighborhoods. Without warning last week, a KFC franchisee "abruptly" shuttered three South Side locations. One outlet, located in Chatham, had been "undergoing renovations for months" when the franchise owner apparently just gave up and boarded up the windows instead. According to the same Fox 32 Chicago report, the Great KFC Vanishing came "less than one month after Cinema Chatham, a local movie theater, shut down." That closure also came without warning. Sixth Ward Alderman William Hall said, "A closed business is not only a sore eye,
