A knife-wielding gang of shoplifters is terrorizing supermarkets across New York City, making off with hundreds of thousands of dollars in goods – and store owners gripe that cops are ignoring the rampage, The Post has learned. The crew of five has hit dozens of stores since July, brazenly stuffing backpacks with pricey beef, salami and seafood – and flashing their blades at workers who dare try to block their exit before they speed off in getaway cars, store owners told The Post.

I guess wishing didn't make the shoplifting go away so they're upping their game. Try and stop them.

It will only get worse with the expected new Mayor. You were warned. Elections have consequences. The majority electorate sheep enjoy a cesspool and chaos.

NYC will become almost unlivable when the communist becomes mayor. Plan to move if you can. I know that's easy for me to say from a distance, but those with the means should start planning now, including businesses and corporate headquarters. UnitedHealthcare has already lost its CEO to murder. Down here in deplorable country, violent shoplifters are in real danger of being shot. Well, to be honest, even some non-violent ones.

Can't change NYC's "Gun" laws....but can let the store owners give every employees tazers and zip ties., at least it's possible. The Getaway car being a volvo with Washington State plates is a "Nice Touch"...and indicates what can be treated as a Federal Crime.

The thugs are so positive that there will be no consequences that they don't even wear masks anymore. They aren't worried about being identified or being arrested. They know they will get a free ride in NYC. Today it is food. Tomorrow clothing and maybe jewelry stores. The thugs rule the streets. Democrat demonization of law enforcement just encourages these thugs to continue their work freeing the stores of their merchandise.

Transgender Americans are preparing to leave the United States of America, believing that President Donald Trump is the “most anti-LGBTQ+ president in history.” Vox reported that during Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, the rhetoric against “radical gender ideology” and “transgender insanity” grew “more hostile.” The outlet noted, “A frequently-run Trump television ad claimed that ‘Kamala is for they/them. Trump is for you.’ And as his second term has progressed, Trump’s attacks on transgender rights have become increasingly virulent.” Katie Sosin, who reports on LGBTQ+ issues for The 19th, spoke to Vox about the Trump administration’s policies:

Attendance was so bad, the legacy media was using protest shots from years ago. Worse still, the smattering of crowds were all old, white hippies. MSNBC falsely aired video from 2017 claiming it was LIVE footage from yesterday’s “No Kings” rally in Boston in order to portray a massive turnout for “No Kings.” It was anything but. These are theatrics, performances engineered by the global left elite (Soros et al). The bottom line is the far left is a fringe movement amplified by the Democrats and their media axis. They control big media and they rig elections so , in their minds, it’s a fait accompli. The people be damned.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) quietly signed legislation last month that will shield local utility companies from responsibility for wildfires and pass billions of dollars in costs to consumers and victims. The Los Angeles Times noted that “fine print” in a 254-page bill known as SB 254 — a massive bill compared to most state legislation — lets Southern California Edison and other utilities charge consumers for wildfire damage that exceeds $21 billion,[snip] The legislation has revived concerns about the fact that Newsom and other politicians in the state have taken large campaign contributions from the utilities.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is meeting in London to vote on new rules to cut “greenhouse gases” by imposing a first-ever global tax on shipping emissions. The meeting of the U.N. agency ends Friday and is expected to finalize a “Net-Zero Framework (NZF)” where commercial ships would pay for emissions over a set limit as defined by the IMO, while vessels that meet tougher standards could trade or bank so-called “surplus units.” The Trump administration unequivocally rejects the proposal and has threatened to retaliate if nations support it, setting the stage for a fight over the climate deal.

Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons slammed New York officials for issuing commercial driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants, including an Indian national caught with an ID that didn’t identify him. Lyons was left outraged after the now-detained truck driver Anmol Anmol was driving across the US with a license that read “No Name Given” before being arrested in Oklahoma last month. “It’s really scary,” Lyons told Fox News’ “The Big Weekend Show” Saturday. “To see that on a driver’s license issued by the state, ‘No Name Given.” And the worst part, there’s a REAL ID star right up there in the corner.

Judicial tyranny continues. A federal judge recently ordered ICE agent arrests at courthouses. US District Judge Jeffrey Cummings, a Biden appointee, barred ICE agents from arresting illegal aliens at Cook County, Illinois, courthouses if they don’t have a warrant. Judge Cummings said the ICE agents can be arrested if they violate his court order. The judge barred ICE agents from making “collateral arrests” – a term that describes the arrest of illegal aliens who happen to be discovered during the arrest of another alien for whom they have a warrant to take into custody.

Senate Democrats aren't satisfied yet with the amount of violence directed at ICE and CBP agents, so they are planning to create what they call a "Master ICE Tracker to warn illegal aliens about ICE activity, and give Antifa militants more information about where exactly to position themselves for ambushes. Assaults on ICE agents have skyrocketed by 1000%, and the violence directed at them has escalated from throwing Subway sandwiches to taking potshots at them and ramming cars into agents. But, to Democrats, ICE is the modern Gestapo; it seems like this level of violence and resistance to law enforcement officers is not nearly enough.
