Governor Hochul Needs To Go
New York Governor Kathy Hochul is either tone deaf or just plain stupid. Congressman Richie Torres, a Democrat who says he might challenge her in the primary, slammed the reimagined criminal justice laws in New York that enabled what Torres called a “homicidal rampage” to occur. Torres is referring to the tragic incident where a knife-wielding criminal killed three innocent people with a knife in broad daylight the week before last. The man was mentally ill and violent but was released from custody early thanks to the reimagining of what passed for criminal justice reform in New York state.
Congressman Torres sent a stern joint letter to Governor Hochul and New York City Mayor Eric Adams, which stated whoever was responsible for letting the killer out early ought to be fired. “Those who cannot be entrusted with public safety should no longer be employed by the people of New York,” Torres wrote.
The assailant, Ramon Rivera, was incarcerated and moved to the psych ward at Bellevue Hospital where he had attacked a corrections officer. Congressman Torres told Hochul and Adams that “layers upon layers of government failure” saw the release of the violent Rivera. Torres did not waste niceties in his letter, informing Hochul she was “the new Joe Biden” and urged her to move aside if the Democrats wished to remain in power in New York. Torres warned Hochul could lose to a Republican in 2026 and informed both the governor and Mayor Adams that criminals in New York had not faced the consequences of their crimes.
“We live in a city and state where the only people who seem to suffer consequences are the victims of crime and their loved ones. Enough is enough,” Torres wrote.
The young Democrat congressman sounds almost like a Republican. Smarter than his seniors, Torres grasps the reimagining of no justice for victims and the coddling of criminals is not popular with Americans.
Ramon Rivera was released on “good behavior” even after his violent assault on a corrections officer. That is the very definition of reimagining criminal justice reform. The tragic and horrific result is that three families are burying loved ones.
The View Needs To Go
Piers Morgan has suggested in a column what I think is a very useful idea. Put “The View” out of its misery. If ABC wants to keep it on the air, it is so utterly biased that it should violate the equal-time premise. The original concept was to have women representing a wide spectrum of views and its far from that now. As Morgan points out in his column, it’s little more than a hate-Donald-Trump meeting. And it’s not like the panel is some respected, informed, and august body of intellectuals. Lord, no, quite the opposite. Joy Behar is a failed comedian who has had so many facelifts she looks like a mummified sock puppet. What are her credentials to serve as a political commentator? The same as our little Jack Russell terrier, Sophie. Our Sophie is a great deal smarter, not to mention much more appealing, than Joy Behar. Morgan pointed out that Behar once wore blackface to a Halloween party and when called out on it, lied.
Whoopee Goldberg has about the same credentials as a political commentator as Behar, none at all. Piers Morgan also reminded his readers that Goldberg said on the air once the Holocaust had nothing whatsoever to do with race, then simply stated the fact she is an imbecile. Goldberg later had to give an on-air apology.
“Sunny” Hostin once derided Nikki Haley for using a nickname, which Hostin does as well. Hostin always boils everything down to race and sexism to those who do not agree with her. She and her fellow panel members are witless hypocrites.
The show is yet another of the many good reasons why people stream instead of watching the dying old three big networks of NBC, ABC, and CBS. None of the three know how the average American lives or thinks. Nor do they care. They have fully embraced woke ideology.
These are the same geniuses who thought it was smart as all get out to put a drag queen on Budweiser cans. They were the only people who were surprised when it killed the brand.
They are the same people who put a bunch of weird androgynous people wearing multicolored latex-looking outfits to promote what was once a great car company, Jaguar. The commercial never once showed the car.
There’s Michael Moore running around loose, sharing his opinion about most everything – and as far as I know, nobody asked him to. First he was certain that Kamala would win the election, and now he is asking Joe Biden what he’s doing in Ukraine. Michael Moore could be the poster child for the saying, “He has a face made for radio.” The only time he should be allowed on TV is if it’s a commercial for Jenny Craig.
Yet we are the deplorables, we are the unwashed, uneducated, the weird. Right. If all of us disappeared tomorrow and these smug, self-satisfied elitists were left to fend for themselves, they would be extinct within hours. Civilization in this country has thrived, not because of them, but rather in spite of them.
Qualifications Matter
To those who talk about the qualifications of those nominated by President-elect Trump to serve in high office, I wonder if they remember a guy named Pete Buttigieg. “Mayor Pete” had qualifications so slender to serve as transportation secretary one still couldn’t see them under a microscope. Anyone who could keep a straight face when hearing him talk about having proposed to his husband in an airport as part of his love for transportation, as well as having driven a car and ridden on a train, had to be the most committed of Democrats.
Leon Panetta had fewer real qualifications to serve as secretary of defense than Pete Hegseth has no matter what Senator Tammy Duckworth says.
