Judge Who Set Migrant Squatters Free Previously Released Suspects in Cop Beating.

The Democrat judge who released six migrant squatters arrested on drug and weapons charges last week previously released two men who assaulted a police officer.

Bronx Criminal Court Judge Eugene Bowen, elected as a Democrat in 2022, went against the wishes of the prosecutors by setting free six suspected migrant squatters who were apprehended on drug and weapon charges. Among the migrants was Hector Desousa-Villalta, a 24-year-old Venezuelan man, who was earlier arrested on attempted murder charges before his case collapsed. Despite requests from the prosecutors to hold Desousa-Villalta on $150,000 cash bail, Bowen decided to let him and five others free with no imposed bail.

Previously, Judge Bowen sparked controversy by releasing two men who had assaulted a police officer. The offenders, Kaream McClary, 23, and Izayiah Jessamy, 20, physically assaulted Officer John Hernandez at the Freeman Street subway station after the officer requested them to put out their cigarettes. Despite the bail plea made by the prosecution team, the duo was released without bail.

Before his election, Bowen was a criminal defense attorney for the Legal Aid Society.

Former Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew McCarthy claimed that Bowen’s sympathetic stance towards alleged criminals aligns with the city’s judicial election pattern, which is often marked by low turnout and dominated by progressive Democrats.

“Progressive Democrats in New York City are the principal drivers of sanctuary city and criminal justice ‘reform’ policies,” McCarthy said. “Under the former, the city prohibits NYPD from cooperating with the feds in immigration case. Under the latter, serious criminals are routinely released instantly after arrest — New York is the only state in the country that does not permit judges to detain people pretrial on evidence that they pose a danger to the community.”

‘Most Challenged Book’ List Shows Parents Pushing Back Against LGBTQ+ Propaganda for Kids.

The American Library Association (ALA) list of the ten most challenged books of 2023 reveals the extent to which far-left extremists have promoted LGBTQ literature to children — and the extent to which parents are fighting back against those efforts.

The ALA noted a 65 percent increase in titles subject to removal or restriction efforts — marking the highest recorded number of challenged books in the organization’s history. Seven of the 10 most challenged books deal with LGBTQ topics, with the number one place held by Maia Kobabe’s Gender Queer, a graphic chronicling the author’s coming out as ‘nonbinary.’ Other targeted titles include George M. Johnson’s All Boys Aren’t Blue, Juno Dawson’s This Book Is Gay, Mike Curato’s Flamer, and Matthew Nolan’s Let’s Talk About It.

“Pressure groups in 2023 focused on public libraries in addition to targeting school libraries. The number of titles targeted for censorship at public libraries increased by 92% over the previous year, accounting for about 46% of all book challenges in 2023; school libraries saw an 11% increase over 2022 numbers,” the group said in an official press release.

In total, the ALA found 4,240 individual book titles under aim for removal from public libraries and schools, substantially exceeding the earlier peak of 2,571 in 2022.

The increase reflects efforts by parents’ groups and conservative lawmakers to protect children from exposure to sexually explicit and other inappropriate LGBTQ-themed material. Subjecting children to such material has real-world consequences and can cause lasting harm to children. A recent report revealed that the number of Americans identifying as LGBTQ+ doubled over 12 years. Meanwhile, a recent landmark study showed that most gender-confused kids grow out of it.

Globalists Are Weaponizing ‘Democracy’ to Stop Marine Le Pen. Here’s How..

The globalist establishment in France is openly attempting to rig the country’s elections to “block” the “extreme right” from beating them. Marine Le Pen and her National Rally party currently look set to win power in 2027.

Le Pen may be blocked from running in 2027 by a Donald Trump-style lawfare prosecution for allegedly misusing European parliamentary funds. Members of Macron’s government have been convicted of this offense previously but with little fanfare.

However, the French establishment fears this could backfire, as Le Pen’s likely successor, Jordan Bardella, is younger, more popular, and carries less baggage than Le Pen. Her father and predecessor, 95-year-old Jean Marie Le Pen, was embroiled in several controversies over the years.

Left-leaning politicians are therefore lobbying openly in the French newspaper of record, Le Monde, to change the voting system. Their stated intention is to stop a President Bardella from carrying the legislative elections that follow the presidential elections.

Currently, these operate on a winner-take-all basis. This has seen populists take far less than their fair share of seats. Proportional representation was briefly adopted in the 1980s to keep the left in power, then dropped when it no longer served its purposes.

At the time, this reversion crashed the populists’ seats from 35 to one. Now, they would likely carry a legislative election in a winner-take-all system, so proportional representation may be restored.

Le Pen has seen her share of the vote in presidential elections increase from 17.90 percent to 33.90 percent to 41.45 percent from 2012 to 2022. She now polls ahead of President Emmanuel Macron’s likely successor, the openly homosexual Prime Minister Gabriel Attal.

Macron cannot stand for the presidency in 2027 due to term limits, which he has denounced as “damnable bullshit.”

Scientists Hid Chemtrail-Style Experiments from Public.

Scientists kept the details of a massive, secretive geoengineering experiment from the public because they feared that “critics would try to stop them.”

Last week, the Coastal Atmospheric Aerosol Research and Engagement — CAARE — project, led by researchers at the University of Washington, launched trillions of microscopic salt particles into the sky off the deck of the USS Hornet Sea, Air & Space Museum in Alameda, California. The researchers aim to increase the density and reflective capacity of clouds to combat ‘climate change.’ They will continue to launch the particles, weather permitting, through the end of May.

The details of the experiment — and its existence — were largely kept hidden from the public because researchers feared “that critics would try to stop them,” reported The New York Times. According to a Scientific American report, the risks of such experiments are “numerous.” It warns that artificially creating cloud cover “could alter weather patterns in unclear ways and potentially limit the productivity of fisheries and farms.”

“History has shown us that when we insert ourselves into [the] modification of nature, there are always very serious unintended consequences,” warned Greg Goldsmith, associate dean for research and development at Chapman University.

News of the experiment comes as Tennessee lawmakers moved to ban similar geoengineering efforts.

READ: The Vatican Just Released a New Pronouncement on Gender Transitioning…

The Vatican released a new document on Monday denouncing gender-transition surgery and surrogacy as grave violations of human dignity akin to abortion and euthanasia. Dignitas Infinita, authored by the powerful Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, declares that “any sex-change intervention, as a rule, risks threatening the unique dignity the person has received from the moment of conception.” In addition, the declaration argues that “surrogacy violates the dignity of the child” as well as “the dignity of the woman.”

Approved by Pope Francis after five years of development and revisions, the declaration is seen as a reaffirmation of the Catholic Church’s doctrinal beliefs, which reject surrogacy and gender theory. Additionally, Dignitas Infinita — which translates to Infinite Dignity in English — reiterates the Church’s teaching that God-established biological differences exist between men and women.

Not every Catholic met the document’s release with praise, however. German transgender and nonbinary activist Mara Klein — who has been active in efforts by the German bishops to undermine Church social teachings — blasted the document, calling it “hurtful” and “ignorant.” Speaking with ABC News, Klein said: “The suggestion that gender-affirming health care — which has saved the lives of so many wonderful trans people and enabled them to live in harmony with their bodies, their communities, and (God) — might risk or diminish trans people’s dignity is not only hurtful but dangerously ignorant.”

Among another area of concern for human dignity singled out in Dignitas Infinita is “digital violence.” The Vatican declaration laments rising incidents of cyberbullying. It also condemns the internet as increasingly becoming “a channel for spreading pornography and the exploitation of persons for sexual purposes or through gambling.”

The Astronomical Cost of Chicago’s Migrant Crisis Revealed.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson faces mounting criticism over the runaway costs of providing food, shelter, and medical care for illegal immigrants. According to figures released by the “New Arrivals Mission” website, the city has shelled out nearly $300 million on over 38,000 new migrants, with roughly 9,700 still in city shelters since 2022.

The lack of transparency and competitive bidding for city contracts appears to be partly responsible for the astronomical cost of the illegal immigration crisis in Chicago. Over 90 percent of the contracts the city has awarded have gone to just three vendors, raising concerns of mismanagement and corruption.

‘IT’S ANOTHER SLAP IN THE FACE.’

“First and foremost, spending $300 million on illegal immigrants is a slap in the face of all the law-abiding citizens,” Tio Hardiman, a community activist and head of Violence Interrupters, said in a recent interview with The Center Square. Hardiman continued: “Then the money is not really being totally accounted for, that’s another slap in the face because the taxpayers have no say on how their money is being spent. That’s the reason why the law-abiding citizens voted down [real estate transfer tax referendum] Bring Home Chicago.”

“That’s why if the citizens could have voted on whether Chicago would remain a sanctuary city, they would have voted it down,” he added.

ILLEGALS BENEFIT DEMOCRATS.

Hardiman, echoing the criticism leveled by many Chicagoans, said that Mayor Johnson could end Chicago’s sanctuary status with the stroke of a pen but won’t because it benefits him and the Democrat Party politically.

“It’s not political with the homeless people that are already here because a lot of homeless people may not vote, they may not get involved,” the Violence Interrupters head said, adding:  “So they figure you bring in illegal immigrants, you can get them to work and you can get them to vote. After two years, they become citizens because they already provide them a pathway to citizenship.”

‘Disinfo’ Expert Tells People to Avoid Doing Their Own Research.

In a recent panel discussion with Pennsylvania Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt about “trusting elections,” Beth Schwanke, Executive Director of the Pitt Disinformation Lab, told Pennsylvania voters not to do their own research and use only “trusted” sources.

“One thing everyone can do to make sure they are seeing accurate information is to use trusted sources,” Schwanke said. “So in elections that means using the Department of State, that means using your county elections office, it means using media organizations that follow, that adhere, to professional journalism standards like… your local NPR affiliate,” she continued.

“And it doesn’t mean you know, ‘doing your own research’ and just asking questions and sharing, you know, posts from — I don’t know, in my case, it’s Uncle Joe, right? It means being thoughtful about where your sources are coming from.”

Critics say Schwanke’s claims highlight the fact that sources are “trusted” only if they take a certain editorial line supported by the government and the Democratic Party. For example, NPR, which Schwanke names specifically, refused to cover the New York Post‘s Hunter Biden laptop story. Multiple “trusted” sources dismissed the story as “disinformation” and NPR Managing Editor Terence Samuels declared it as unworthy of coverage. The story turned out to be entirely accurate.

Schwanke’s insistence that voters trust the Department of State is also alarming. The Pennsylvania State Department recently announced its partnership with the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). Multiple reports have revealed that CISA routinely engages in censorship of conservatives and other dissidents, including citizens who questioned the safety of mail-in-voting.

How Fitting: Soros Pours Cash into ‘Crooked Media’ Amidst Major Broadcast Push.

Soros Fund Management, founded by nonagenarian plutocrat and convicted insider trader George Soros, is investing heavily in radio and podcasting as his empire passes into the hands of his White House-linked son, Alex Soros.

Sources who have “been involved in discussions with Soros executives” have revealed the 93-year-old globalist may be preparing the ground for a major “audio buying spree,” having already invested millions in the industry since 2022.

These investments include backing a firm involved in the 2022 takeover of 18 Hispanic radio stations, including Cuban conservative stations in Miami, which Democrat operatives will now oversee. Also in 2022, Soros invested an “undisclosed sum” in podcasting network ‘Crooked Media,’ which hosts the Pod Save America show — a significant player in leftist media, fronted by Barack Obama staffers and boasting around 1.5 million listeners per episode.

This year, Soros Fund Management became the number one shareholder of Audacy, which, with over 230 stations, is the second-largest radio broadcaster in the United States and also runs a podcasting arm.

One of several podcasting companies Soros is looking to buy into is Lemonada, which recently signed divorced actress turned problem royal Meghan Markle.

Semafor, the globalist media outlet that reported the mooted “buying spree,” noted it could impact the U.S. election in November and suggested conservative radio hosts may feel unable to “second-guess” potentially fraudulent results.

Biden ‘Soiled’ White House Resolute Desk, Says Trump.

Former President Donald Trump told donors that the aging Joe Biden, noted for his physical impairment and memory lapses, may have “literally” soiled the famous Resolute Desk in the White House’s Oval Office.

Trump’s remarks came during a Saturday evening fundraiser in Palm Beach, Florida. Trump criticized President Joe Biden’s border policy and commented on further poor decision-making in the Oval Office, specifically referring to the historically significant Resolute Desk.

“The Resolute Desk is beautiful,” said Trump. “Ronald Reagan used it, others used it. And [Biden’s] using it. I might not use it the next time. It’s been soiled. And I mean that literally, which is sad,” Trump continued.

The Resolute Desk was a gift from Queen Victoria to President Rutherford B. Hayes in 1880 and was made from the timbers of the British Arctic exploration ship HMS Resolute. It has been used by many U.S. presidents in the Oval Office, symbolizing the close relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom.

While Trump’s remarks were likely in jest — “The attendee who witnessed the moment said that dinner guests laughed,” reported The New York Times — some mainstream media organizations have sought to depict Trump’s joke as a “baseless” lie. The Independent, for example, reported that “Trump wildly claims Biden ‘soiled’ himself on White House Resolute desk in latest baseless rant.”

Earlier this year, the Trump campaign released a video mocking Biden’s age-addled body and mind, joking that the octogenarian is enjoying “White House senior living.” Biden’s frailty and cognitive impairment have become an increasing concern for Democrats heading into the 2024 election.

Zelensky Admits Ukraine is Losing.

President Volodymyr Zelensky has admitted that “Ukraine will lose” if the U.S. Congress does not provide him with more aid. The statement necessarily implies the country is on the back foot in its war against Russia, following Vladimir Putin’s “special military operation” that began in February 2022.

“It is necessary to specifically tell Congress that if Congress does not help Ukraine, Ukraine will lose the war,” Zelensky said bluntly on Sunday, claiming that if his forces are defeated, “other states will be attacked.”

The Ukrainian leader’s call for more aid comes as Maksym Zhorin, deputy commander of Zelensky’s 3rd Assault Brigade, has told the Western press the Ukrainian military is now strained to breaking point, with Russian forces continuing to advance following their successful capture of the fortress town of Avdeyevka.

“The average Ukrainian infantryman is tired, exhausted by the dynamics of war, and by the events that have transpired. They are almost faint. Unfortunately, that is the truth,” Zhorin said.

He added that he did not believe Zelensky’s moves to lower the conscription age from 27 to 25 would be enough to address the country’s manpower shortages and that younger Ukrainians would have to be drafted.

“I would decrease the age further. As difficult as this is to say, young people must fight,” he said.

“It is too difficult to keep the older soldiers motivated and they often have chronic health issues. Young people are more motivated, more energetic, and more willing to fight.”

The average age of a Ukrainian soldier is currently 43.
