Lindsey Graham Dies; Neo-Cons Across The Country Are In Mourning
Sen. Lindsey Graham Dies at 71:The senator died from a 'brief and sudden illness,' his office said.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) died from a “brief and sudden illness” Saturday evening, his office said in a statement. “On the evening of Saturday, July 11, U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham passed away from a brief and sudden illness,” the statement shared on X read. “Senator Graham’s family appreciates prayers at the time and asks for privacy during this incredibly difficult period.” The 71-year-old was elected to the Senate in 2002. During President Donald Trump’s second term, Graham was a close ally, supporting the president’s military actions against the Iranian regime. A longtime hawk on Iran, Graham leaves a legacy of backing policies aimed at isolating the country and limiting its missile and nuclear programs, among his many other achievements.Left unsaid is Graham's unbridled excitement at anything that could possibly lead to military intervention anywhere on the planet! And two failed wars in 20 years, and military involvement almost literally everywhere didn't dampen his enthusiasm for spilling American blood and spending American treasure in foreign lands. His excitement at any expansion of the Ukraine border dispute is legendary, although his 10 trips to Ukraine seem a bit over the top, even for a senator. His savage hatred for Putin seemed personal! His recent change in tone with respect to Islamist Turkey getting F-35s was troubling, and doesn't make logical sense when contrasted to his solid and unwavering support for Israel. Although it might have been as simple as supporting his friends in the defense industry with expanded sales, and geopolitical considerations be damned! Senator Graham seemed to put on the mantle of "maverick" that sadly didn't disappear with John McCain's death. At times he seemed to be running his personal foreign policy that was sometimes at odds with the President. But the people of South Carolina kept reelecting him, because whatever his quixotic behavior as a senator, he understood local politics very well and took care of his constituents! The big question is what happens now? The governor will appoint a replacement, and the people of South Carolina elect a replacement Republican nominee in a special election in August to contest the general election in November 2026. The Democrat challenger is Dr. Annie Andrews, who last ran against Nancy Mace...and lost. Is South Carolina in play for the Democrats? Probably not, but the good people of the Palmetto State have been electing Graham for quite a while, so their judgement when it comes to the proper conduct of a United States Senator is just a bit suspect.

Saturday Evening Movie Thread - 7/11/2026
Gore Verbinksi is a filmmaker I enjoy. I, like most of the world, became aware of him with his first Pirates of the Caribbean film which he followed up with his pair of sequels. Ever since, from The Weather Man to Rango to his gonzo masterpiece A Cure for Wellness, I've wanted more Gore Verbinski movies. Heck, even The Lone Ranger, as bloated and unwieldy as it is, has some real entertainment to it.
But, the dual financial failures of The Lone Ranger and A Cure for Wellness seems to have sent him to director jail, and he had to spend nine years scrounging for projects and enough money to put something together. And that something came out earlier this year, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die.
I missed it in theaters. I watched it the second I saw it on HULU. I bought the 4K at full price. I liked it. I enjoyed it. And, I had thoughts about it. Not really about the film itself, but about the nature of influence. Because, you see, I saw an influence, and that influence might not have actually been there.

Can we afford utopian education? 
The Thinker, Singer Museum, Laren, The Netherlands
Public Education
Yesterday, I ran across a somewhat too-hagiographic piece on social media attributing the beginning of publicly funded education in the USA to Robert Dale Owen, a guy who had been involved in some failed utopian projects:
Robert Dale Owen (born Nov. 9, 1801, Glasgow, Scot.—died June 24, 1877, Lake George, N.Y., U.S.) was an American social reformer and politician. The son of the English reformer Robert Owen, Robert Dale Owen was steeped in his father’s socialist philosophy while growing up at New Lanark in Scotland—the elder Owen’s model industrial community. In 1825, father and son immigrated to the United States to set up another self-sufficient socialist community at New Harmony, Ind. Robert Dale Owen edited the community’s newspaper, the New Harmony Gazette, until 1827, when he became associated with the controversial reformer Fanny Wright. They traveled together to Wright’s experimental community of Nashoba, Tenn., which was dedicated to the education and gradual emancipation of slaves, and from there went on to Europe.
Upon returning to the United States, Owen and Wright revisited the Nashoba and New Harmony communities, then in a state of decay. They settled in New York, where Owen edited the Free Enquirer. The paper opposed evangelical religion and advocated more liberal divorce laws, more equal distribution of wealth, and widespread industrial education; it was at the centre of radical free thought in New York. For two years, Owen, with Wright and other radicals, sought to turn the New York Workingmen’s Party away from Thomas Skidmore’s belief in an equal division of property. They successfully ousted Skidmore, but later their own program of social reform through public education was also repudiated. After a brief trip to England in 1832, Owen returned to New Harmony. He served three terms in the Indiana legislature (1836–183He didn't stop there in his efforts to reform society, but concerning his involvement in how the Smithsonian was set up:, where he advocated the allocation of government funds for public schools, and two terms in the U.S. House of Representatives, where he introduced the bill creating the Smithsonian Institution. . .

@konstructivizm It seems incredible, but this is a real photograph! It was taken on July 24, 2024, just seconds before Saturn disappeared completely behind the lunar disk. The image creates the illusion that Saturn is hovering right above Glushko Crater--a young, 43-kilometer-wide crater near the Moon's western limb. Of course, the Moon is 400,000 kilometers away, whereas Saturn is 1.4 billion kilometers away. The photo was taken by amateur astronomer Chengcheng Xu in China.

The Week In Woke
Effeminate cuck Jonathan V. Last relentlessly promoted Graham Platner, even calling for him to be the President after winning in 2028. Now he says that no one on the left, and surely no one in leftwing media, is responsible for Graham Platner besides Graham Platner. As the Church Lady wisely observed: "Welllllll, isn't that conVENient." The Democrat operative and Nepo Baby who foisted Graham Platner on the country speaks with an incredibly strange "vocal fry" and "uptalk," like he's a Valley girl. I saw someone speculate that "men" with high-pitched voices affect the vocal fry to try to make their voices sound deeper and more masculine. It doesn't work. Anyway, here's this nepo baby communist freak denying that his "minimal vetting" turned up the Nazi tattoo and they only found "some" of his Reddit posts. And what about Morris Katz, the openly-bisexual freak who wanted to put a picture of his own penis in a book for 10-year-olds about puberty? He's lying:
The girl who was victimized by a "trans" athlete says she was repeatedly invited to suck the alleged trans "girl's" dick. Girls are always saying stuff like that.

Jake Tapper
@jaketapper As soon as we asked the campaign about what Jenny Racicot told us on the record and on camera Monday, the campaign said that her assertion he had raped her was false.
I still believe that Noem refused to ban trannies from girls' sports because she knew this blackmail material was out there. So, to hell with her. LOL: Guess which female Democrat politician turns out to be a Karen From Hell, disparaging businesses in her Yelp reviews?
Former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has begun the process of divorcing her husband Bryon following bombshell revelations earlier this year that he engaged in a lurid secret life of cross-dressing and chatting online with fetish models, the former South Dakota governor's mother has claimed. ... The outlet reported in late March that Bryon Noem chatted up women from the so-called "bimbofication" fetish scene, in which adult performers augment their breasts with massive amounts of saline to achieve a "Barbie doll"-like appearance -- and even indulged in the trend himself."
[Regarding a massage joing:] "If you want consistent good service, and want to patronize a place that treats employees with respect, I would never recommend this," she wrote. "I cannot continue in good conscience to be a patron, even though it is a very convenient location and a nice facility." She alleged the business had serious management problems, claiming employees who left the spa were treated unfairly and customers were left scrambling when therapists departed. "Note that almost 1/3 of reviews written are 'not recommended.' Management is hiding a serious problem. I was a member here for over six years, so consider my depth of experience with this place in how you judge this review," she continued. Two other places she reviewed -- Tony Pepperoni Pizzeria and Irvine Yellow Cab, which has since permanently closed -- also suffered, receiving two-star and one-star ratings. On the pizza shop she visited in July 2013, Porter posted: "Horrible service on delivery. I ordered at 4:39. I am told 35-40 min. I call to check at 40 min. Driver on way. I call again at 5:31--52 minutes later. "He says driver will call me. He doesn't. I have 20 angry hungry kids! Pizza was decent when it arrived. But allow ample ample time."It's voluminous spouse-abuser Katie Porter. There's more at the link.

Well why not report his fake name? Everyone knows it. It's " " " Becky " " " Pepper-Johnson. And the ACLU, representing "Becky," uses "Becky's" name.
For Adaleia Cross, the Supreme Court's ruling in the West Virginia women's sports case was not just a legal victory. It was personal. Cross, a Bridgeport High School student in West Virginia, said the ruling gave her a "sense of peace" after years of speaking out about the transgender athlete at the center of the case. Cross has alleged the athlete made comments to her in the girls' locker room that amounted to sexual harassment when both were students at Bridgeport Middle School. Fox News Digital is not naming the trans athlete because the athlete is a minor.
"I definitely have a sense of peace about all of it," Cross told Fox News Digital after the ruling. "Although I had to go through all of that, and it doesn't make up for what I had to go through, I know that other girls can be protected, like my sister and my friends who are still on the team." Cross also sent a message to the athlete in the wake of the ruling. "Jesus Christ loves [the athlete] and has a place for [the athlete] if they want to be there," she said. Cross and her parents previously told Fox News Digital the alleged sexual harassment occurred in the girls' locker room during the 2022-23 school year. Cross was in eighth grade, and the trans athlete was in seventh. "When Adaleia first told us, she told us that [the trans athlete] was telling her and other girls 'suck my d--k,'" Cross's mother, Abby Cross, alleged in December. "[The trans athlete] was saying to her, coming up and saying to her, 'I'm going to stick my d--k in your p--y and also in your ass.' At different times [the trans athlete] was saying these things to her." But Adaleia said Wednesday that the entire locker room changed after the athlete joined the girls' team. "A lot of girls, after [the athlete] came into our locker room, started going to the bathroom," Cross said. "They started changing in stalls, which was not really normal."
"You would have kids separated to try to not be around [the athlete], but it was still hard because during track meets, you had to be around [the athlete]," she added. "Girls were just uncomfortable." "They didn't want to be around [the athlete]," Cross said. Cross said the discomfort even spread beyond her own team. "I know other teams started canceling coming to track meets, so their girls didn't have to put up with it," Cross said. "It's just really sad to see all that happening." "Girls deserve to have that space," she added. "And it's just been taken away." The ACLU previously denied the allegations.

Unshocking: The Biden Prosecutor who "Resigned" From the Federal Government to Prosecute the Fake "Hush Money" Case Against Trump Had His Fingers In All the Lawfare Pies
Trump hush money prosecutor played larger role in federal cases against prez than known, logs showUnrelated: Nick Shirley uncovers millions more in blue state benefits fraud, this time in New York. Fraudsters are billing taxpayers for some kind of "elder care." It's another scam.
WASHINGTON -- The Manhattan prosecutor who led the "hush money" case against President Trump, in which the 45th and 47th president was convicted of 34 counts of falsifying business records, played a larger role in the federal cases against the commander in chief than previously known. Matthew Colangelo joined Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's team in December 2022 after resigning as principal deputy associate attorney general. Colangelo previously served as acting associate attorney general, the third-ranked post in the Biden Justice Department. Defenders of Colangelo tried to distance him from Trump-related activities at the DOJ, but calendar records obtained by conservative watchdog America First Legal and shared with The Post show that he sat in on key meetings about the once and future president.
At least three of those meetings related to the dispute over national security records held at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort that led to his indictment by special counsel Jack Smith. Colangelo also joined a December 2021 meeting concerning the DOJ's position in advice columnist E. Jean Carroll's civil case against Trump for sexual abuse and defamation. Another 12 items on Colangelo's calendar dealt with meetings regarding a subpoena of former Trump White House Counsel Don McGahn for testimony on obstruction of justice findings in former special counsel Robert Mueller's report on claims Trump's 2016 campaign colluded with Russia.
"These records show that the man who delivered the opening statement prosecuting President Trump while working in the Manhattan District Attorney's Office was more involved in Trump-related litigation preparation at DOJ than the American people were led to believe," AFL's Will Scolinos said in a statement.

Marco Rubio Laughs at Tim Walz's Attempt to Shield a Child Rapist from Deportation by Pardoning Him For Raping Children
As Norm MacDonald would say: "I mean this guy is a real jerk."
Homeland Security
@DHSgov .@GovTimWalz and Minnesota sanctuary politicians PARDONED an illegal alien who REPEATEDLY SEXUALLY ASSAULTED A 10-YEAR-OLD. On June 10, the Minnesota Board of Pardons voted to grant Tou Lue Vang, from Laos, a pardon for his 2006 convictions for sexual assault--strongarm sodomy and procuring a child for prostitution. This pardon came just a week before Vang was set to be REMOVED from our nation. During his interviews with police, Vang tried to justify his actions by saying "it is a cultural thing...to marry and have sex with girls as young as 12." Governor Walz's pardon shielded this CHILD RAPIST from removal from our nation. This is the type of DISGUSTING criminal sanctuary politicians are shamelessly protecting.
As Norm MacDonald would say: "I mean this guy is a real jerk."
Oh the Muslim child-marriage-supporting Keith Ellison was involved? What a surprise.
Court files reveal disturbing details of child sex offender pardoned by Walz, Ellison before deportation Tou Lue Vang sexually assaulted a 10-year-old girl for years and told police it was a "cultural thing." Ron Schutz, the GOP candidate for attorney general, said he was "shocked" that incumbent Keith Ellison voted to pardon Vang.
So the pardon was granted precisely to keep this child rapist in the country with access to American children.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison and Chief Justice Natalie Hudson unanimously voted to pardon a Hmong man from Laos who repeatedly sexually assaulted a 10-year-old girl over a two-and-a-half-year period. In his clemency application, Tou Lue Vang argued that a pardon could protect him from immigration consequences, writing: "Without the protection a pardon can provide, I face the very real risk of detention and deportation."
Content warning for the next section, which you might want to skip:
A review by Alpha News of court files and clemency records reveals disturbing details about Vang's crimes and the statements he made to investigators -- raising a question many Minnesotans are asking: Did the state's top elected officials vote to erase Vang's criminal record so the Trump administration couldn't deport him?
Read the whole article, if you can bear it. DHS says "Fuck you, Walz and Ellison, we're deporting all of your foreign invader rapist pals."
Criminal complaint details repeated abuse According to the 2005 criminal complaint, the girl told investigators that when she was in fourth grade, Vang -- who later married her sister -- entered her bedroom. The complaint states: "[Victim] said that Vang sat down beside her, reached his hand into her pants and touched her vagina ... She said that he put his fingers inside of her vagina and then pulled down his own pants and asked her to touch his penis, which she did. He then penetrated her vagina with his penis." The girl told police the assaults occurred at least "four or five times." The complaint also notes: "She recalled one incident when he came into her bedroom, put his penis into her mouth and ejaculated."
Homeland Security
@DHSgov .@ICEgov has DEPORTED Tou Vang, the illegal alien CHILD RAPIST @GovTimWalz pardoned in an attempt to allow him to remain in our country. While Walz and his fellow sanctuary politicians fight to protect heinous criminals like this, we will continue putting the safety of the American people FIRST.

Supposedly, the Nazi Rapist With Officially Withdraw His Candidacy on Monday -- the Very Deadline for Withdrawing
Anyway. Democrats are pissed at this pair of political hustlers for foisting the Humble Oysterrapist on them, and they're opening all their dirt files on the two. This report suggests a reason for Daniel Moraff not being too distressed about Graham Platner's history of rape and sexual violence.
Monday? The very last day possible?
Is he for real? I mean, he might just say on Monday: I didn't get the "reassurances" I wanted so I'm in it to win it.Halperin said no special "paperwork" is needed -- a simple email to the Secretary of State, announcing a withdrawal, will do it. So why does he need the weekend to compose an email?
Graham Platner privately told staff that he is planning to officially file paperwork to end his Senate campaign on Monday -- the drop-dead deadline for him to exit the race.
LOL. If he stays in the race, I might just support him. What a troll that would be. Stay strong, stay brave, King. Platner was recruited and promoted by two Democrat operatives: Morris Katz, a bisexual who proposed including a picture of his penis in a book intended for children to explain puberty to them, and Daneil Moraff, a nepo baby heir to the Toys-R-Us fortune who did what most nepo babies do and decided communism was a great idea. By the way, rich bitch nepo babies admire socialism and communism because they know, first hand, that some very wealthy people did not work a single minute for that money and do not deserve it. Of course, they universalize from their own narrow experience and construct fantasies that no one else earned their money, either, which is a Comforting Cope for them because it lets them believe that their own experience of doing nothing, creating nothing, contributing nothing yet being massively rich is a common thing. Now, if they feel guilty about being undeservedly rich, they could give their money away to charity. But they never do -- they want to continue enjoying the benefits of immense, unearned wealth. So what they do instead is push for socialism and communism, while continuing to enjoy the fruits of capitalism. They get to "do penance" for their massively-unearned massive wealth by agitating for socialism while actually giving up precisely nothing. Win-win, huh? Except for everyone else.
Why it matters: Though Democrats largely appear to think Platner is done with his bid, his last-minute timing is likely to cause a final pang of anxiety within the party.
Driving the news: Platner made the comments to his team Wednesday night shortly before he announced publicly he was suspending his campaign. "On Monday, I entire -- I intend to file the requisite paperwork with the Secretary of State to remove my name from the ballot," he said, according to a person on the call. Under state law, Platner has until Monday at 5 p.m. to drop out of the race in time for the party to replace him with a new nominee. As of about 1 p.m. Thursday, Platner had not officially withdrawn from the race, according to the Maine Secretary of State. "No official withdrawal notice has yet been received from Mr. Platner," said Jana Spaulding, deputy secretary of state for communications. "A public declaration is not an official withdrawal, and a candidate must formally withdraw to the elections office in writing, including signature."
Anyway. Democrats are pissed at this pair of political hustlers for foisting the Humble Oysterrapist on them, and they're opening all their dirt files on the two. This report suggests a reason for Daniel Moraff not being too distressed about Graham Platner's history of rape and sexual violence.
PA. - Yesterday, Payday Report learned that Congresswoman Summer Lee barred Moraff from her 2022 congressional campaign after receiving at least three complaints of sexual misconduct against Moraff. Now, Moraff, who recruited Graham Platner to run for Senate in Maine, is at the center of a massive controversy after he admitted that he spent only a few days vetting Platner, who just withdrew from the Senate race after he was accused of rape. Given the fact that both Congresswoman Lee and Justice Democrats stopped working with Moraff following these accusations, questions have been raised about why so many on the left trusted him to give a thorough vetting and assessment of Platner. "Birds of a feather, flock together and Moraff and Platner were predators," said one woman, who says she was sexually harassed while working to elect Congresswoman Lee.

Oh No! Trump's DOJ is Prosecuting the Frankencientists Who Created Covid, Shut Down the Earth, and Killed Tens of Millions
And The Atlantic is alarmed by this justice-seeking behavior.
Lab-Leak Payback Has Begun"Payback"? Oh right, because any time a liberal is prosecuted for his notorious crimes it's just "political payback" from Trump. The endless prosecutions of Trump, on the other hand, were Just Some Good Prosecutin'.
Indictments, subpoenas, and debarments are hitting American scientists embroiled in the controversy over COVID's origins.
You mean the same way that Fauci and his paid shills insisted the case was closed and it was a conspiracy theory and "racist" to question him? He was Science, after all.
By Daniel Engber The origins of the coronavirus pandemic remain contested; the evidence is incomplete. But pundits, activists, and members of the Trump administration have long insisted that the case is closed, and that the virus slipped out from a lab in China. They've maintained the view that U.S. scientists were involved and later tried to hide the facts. They've said that justice must be served.
Good stuff, this "payback."
Now the reckoning they want appears to have arrived. An expert on the flu got hauled off by the FBI. A coronavirus researcher was indicted in Detroit. Two prominent virologists stepped down or were removed from senior roles. And a fifth infectious-disease researcher--Anthony Fauci, the central figure in an alleged "lab-leak" cover-up--was recently subpoenaed to appear before the U.S. Senate. ... The first case was Ralph Baric, a 72-year-old virologist and bat-coronavirus expert at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Baric worked closely with researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which many adherents to the lab-leak theory posit as the source of the pandemic; one contingent thinks that Baric might have been the creator of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. On April 15, the NIH, which has in the past provided Baric's lab with hundreds of millions of dollars in research funds, referred him for debarment from all federal contracts for at least three years. The claims against him focus on some inconsistencies in paperwork and a series of decade-old experiments that the agency says were carried out in violation of a pause of a "gain-of-fuction" research. Baric told Science magazine's Jon Cohen that he's fighting the debarment, and that he'd been targeted on account of the furor over COVID origins; he appears to have retired from UNC on June 1. (Neither Baric nor the Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees NIH, responded to requests for comment.)
The day after the government kicked off Baric's debarment proceedings, David Morens, a 78-year-old influenza specialist and one of Fauci's close advisers at NIAID, was indicted for conspiring to hide or falsify discussions of coronavirus research grants. "We have to keep all communications like this on private email so that it can't be retrieved via a FOIA," he wrote in one message from 2021. On April 27, per Cohen's reporting, armed federal agents in bulletproof vests arrived at Morens's home in Chester, Maryland, and handcuffed him in his underwear. Morens pleaded not guilty to the charges. (The FBI told Science that this description of the arrest was "inaccurate"; Morens's attorney declined to comment for this story.) Just a few weeks later, news came out that the acting head of NIAID--the virologist Jeffrey Taubenberger, a very close colleague of Morens's--had either stepped down or been fired from his role. He and Morens had worked together on more than 60 academic papers, including 13 that also list Fauci as an author--and both had been on the radar of the lab-leak hard-liners. (Taubenberger did not respond to a request for comment.) News also broke in May that the FBI was investigating another NIAID virologist, Vincent Munster, who had been called out for collaborating with Baric and the scientists in Wuhan. Since then, prosecutors have filed an indictment charging Munster and another researcher from his lab with a conspiracy to smuggle mpox into the U.S. and with making false statements to federal agents. The government claims that on January 25, Munster and that colleague arrived at an airport in Detroit from the Republic of the Congo with a black plastic case containing samples of the mpox virus, seemingly deactivated and noninfectious, and that they both lacked proper documentation for these materials and misled the customs agents who questioned them. The two virologists have pleaded not guilty. (Munster's attorney did not respond to a request for comment.) The strongest argument for connecting all of these cases is that lab-leak activists themselves have done the same. Anthony Bellotti, the founder and president of the White Coat Waste Project, an animal-activist group that has leveraged the lab-leak theory in pursuit of its goal of ending all taxpayer-funded animal testing, declared that "Morens' indictment should be the beginning--not the end--of long-overdue lab leak accountability at NIH." Just two weeks before Munster was indicted on charges that seem to have no connection with the pandemic, Bellotti's group joined the right-wing activist Laura Loomer in hawking what they called a "whistleblower report" about the virologist's alleged misdeeds. That document describes Munster as a "Fauci acolyte and all around egotistical, arrogant foreigner that joined his research project (to aerosolize covid virus) to Ralph Baric's project (to weaponize it)." I could find no evidence that Munster, who is a Dutch citizen, ever worked on a project to "aerosolize" SARS-CoV-2. In the meantime, Senator Rand Paul has linked Munster's name to an early draft of a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency grant application, with Baric listed as a principal investigator, that proposed to gauge the spillover risk associated with bat coronaviruses. The project's ultimate goal was to limit that threat but involved altering the viruses in ways that might have made them more infectious--and more like SARS-CoV-2. (The final version of that proposal does not mention Munster, and the extent to which he knew its details are unclear.) If you believe, as Paul and others do, that this unfunded DARPA project may have been a blueprint for generating the pandemic virus--and that, one way or another, virologists' disregard for biosafety helped cause the deaths of millions--then seeking justice would be natural. If you're also sure that COVID got its start in studies funded by the U.S. government, and specifically through NIAID, then there is no greater villain in this story than Fauci. Just last week, Paul announced that he'd subpoenaed the lab-leak theory's final boss to testify in Congress at the end of this month. "He has not really gotten his just deserts," Paul said in a weekend interview on Fox. He later added: "There needs to be repercussions." A hearing is one of the clearest avenues to pursue such measures: The blanket pardon that Fauci received from President Biden wouldn't cover any charges of lying to Congress that arose from new sworn testimony. (Neither Fauci nor Paul responded to requests for comment.)

Two Churches Firebombed In Mamdani's New York City By, Get This, Illegal Alien
He's yet another foreign scumbag mental patient, or, as the leftwing communist media calls him: "Queens man."
NYPost:They were churches not mosques.
Crazed maniac hurls Molotov cocktails at two NYC churches -- then goes on profane rant in shocking courtroom outburst
A twisted Queens firebug was busted for allegedly hurling Molotov cocktails at two Queens churches late Wednesday -- part of what prosecutors believe was a disturbing seven-incident spree. Yogesh Sayrange, 36, -- who ranted like a madman in federal court on Thursday -- admitted to tossing fiery projectiles at the Iglesia Bautista El Mesias church in Ozone Park, and the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses on in Woodhaven, along with other locations, according to cops and the feds. "Yea, I f--king firebombed them," Sayrange allegedly told investigators about a separate bombing of a deli, adding with out explaination: "They're Muslims, scum and terrorists."
New York will fight like a tiger to keep this Cultural Enrichment Officer in the US.
He he continued his manic, nonsensical rantings as he was hauled into Brooklyn federal court Thursday for arraignment on charges of allegedly tossing another makeshift device at a smoke shop on Fulton Street while wearing a distinct Guy Fawkes mask last week, prosecutors said. "You're protecting them, you dumb c--t," Sayrange seethed at prosecutor Ashlyn Miranda. "I'm saying it to this retard here." "The government is a criminal syndicate," he added as the marshal's handcuffs clicked behind him. By Thursday, he only faced official charges in the smoke shop crime -- but prosecutors say they suspect that he is involved in seven total arsons dating back to June. Sayrange also allegedly confessed to the June 25 deli arson, identifying himself both with and without the eerie face covering, according to the feds, who are still probing him for all the alleged firebomb attacks. But the accused arsonist vehemently proclaimed his innocence in court -- snapping at Magistrate Judge Lara K. Eshkenazi, who simply asked him if he understood his rights. "I don't stand under you, you stand under me," Sayrange barked. "You're making false accusations and asking 'do I agree with you?" No I don't." Sayrange -- a Guyanese citizen who is considered "unauthorized" in the US because his childhood arrival protection expired -- was ordered held without bail. "It's all fake," he snapped when prosecutors explained the risks he poses if not held. "They're not members of the community, they're criminal cartels," Sayrange ranted. "They're foreign enemies." ... The suspect was located by police -- who found two additional Molotov cocktails in his bag, prosecutors said. "I had two more in my bag -- I was going to finish the job," he confessed, according to the feds. He was taken into custody around 12:10 a.m. Thursday, according to police. Investigators believe Sayrange mostly targeted houses of worship during his spree that began last month -- but commercial locations were also hit, according to law enforcement sources.
