Episode 708 – Prison Shouldn’t Be That Good

China has finally stepped over the line so I’m sure the Biden administration will send China a letter.

Prison should never be enjoyable, even before the criminal is being put to death.

And New York is proud of their new bureaucracy.

 

Something Else This Administration Can Ignore

This is a disturbing story that requires a strong government and a strong response. Neither of which we are going to get.

According to Fox News:

The FBI and federal prosecutors announced Monday the arrests of two New York residents who allegedly ran an undisclosed Chinese government police station in Manhattan’s Chinatown neighborhood.

Lu Jianwang and Chen Jinping have each been charged with conspiring to act as agents of China’s government, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York.

Breon Peace, the U.S. attorney for that office, said China’s Ministry of Public Security (MPS) “has repeatedly and flagrantly violated our nation’s sovereignty, including by opening and operating a police station in the middle of New York City.”

“Two miles from our office, just across the Brooklyn Bridge, this nondescript office building in the heart of bustling Chinatown in Lower Manhattan has a dark secret. Until several months ago, an entire floor of this building hosted an undeclared police station of the Chinese National Police,” Peace said. “Now, just imagine the NYPD opening an undeclared secret police station in Beijing. It would be unthinkable.”

The Chinese do this for a few reasons:

  • Allow Chinese citizens to keep Chinese paperwork up.
  • Monitor pro-democracy dissidents, both American and Chinese citizens.
  • Capture and return Chinese “criminals” back to China.

They have been suspected to have been doing this for a while though it couldn’t be proven until now.

Is This a Trans Thing?

I don’t think this was a trans thing because nobody has been thrown from a building yet.

According to Human Events:

Last week a 25 year-old Kenyan chess player, Stanley Omondi, disguised himself as a woman and dressed in a burka to play in the female category of the Kenya Open chess tournament hosted in Nairobi. He said in a letter that he did it because he had “financial needs” and made it to the fourth round of the competition before organizers caught onto the ruse and ejected him from the tournament.

According to a report by the BBC, Omondi registered for the tournament under the name Millicent Awour. He first drew attention to himself when he won against “very strong players,” Chess Kenya President Bernard Wanjala said.

“It will be unlikely to have a new person who has never played a tournament,” Wanjala added.

Wanjala also mentioned other red flags and said, “we also noticed the shoes, he was wearing more masculine shoes, than feminine.”

“He was not talking, even when he came to collect his tag, he couldn’t speak, ordinarily, when you are playing, you speak to your opponent… because playing a chess game is not war its friendship,” Wanjala said.

After Omondi won against a very strong opponent the organizers decided to approach him. According to Wanjala, “He (Omondi) acknowledged that indeed he is a man. He regrets what happened, apologized and said he was only doing that because he had financial difficulties and thought winning the title will help him overcome.”

The grand prize for the tournament was over $3,000 and the event drew a crowd of over 400 players from 22 different countries.

Hey, if you ain’t cheating, you ain’t trying.

This Ain’t Right

We seriously need to fix our prison system.

According to MSN:

Gary Carl Simmons Jr., known as “The Butcher” for crimes he committed that included dismembering Jeffrey Wolfe, 21, over a drug-related incident, was sentenced to die in prison.

However, he reportedly wanted to go out with a bang.

Simmons, who fed Wolfe’s remains to an alligator in 1996, reportedly had a final meal that included various dishes, cuisines and styles in a massive final plate.

By the way, he also raped the victim’s girlfriend.

The prisoner reportedly requested a meal that came out to more than a week’s worth of calories, 29,000.

According to Gulf Live, the following was his last meal: “One Pizza Hut medium Super Supreme Deep Dish pizza, double portion, with mushrooms, onions, jalapeño peppers and pepperoni; pizza, regular portion, with three cheeses, olives, bell pepper, tomato, garlic and Italian sausage; 10 8-oz. packs of Parmesan cheese; 10 8-oz. packs of ranch dressing; one family size pack of Doritos nacho cheese flavor; 8 oz. jalapeño nacho cheese; 4 oz. sliced jalapeños; two large strawberry shakes; two 20-oz. cherry Cokes; one super-size order of McDonald’s fries with extra ketchup and mayonnaise; and two pints of strawberry ice cream.”

There should be no oy in prison, even on his last day on Earth. This man should have gotten a peanut butter sandwich and a glass of water.

And They Wonder Why Everyone is Leaving

I’ve been to New York several times and I have learned one thing each time I’m there: The place is a shithole. And I went when it was in still pretty good condition. It smells, it’s crowded, there’s crime and there are a ton of crazies.

The food is good, especially the pizza.

Since the last time I have been there, crime is up, homelessness is up, the crazies own the streets, no one goes to jail, drugs are everywhere and I haven’t mentioned the high taxes and how expensive it is.

But, one thing I always forget when talking about New York, is the rats. They are everywhere and are the size of dogs. And the little bastards are brazen.

Well, New York knows they have a rat problem and they are dealing with it in the only way they know how. Spending a lot of money and creating a new bureaucracy. According to The Blaze:

There’s a new “Rat Czar” in charge in New York City, and she is dead set on laying waste to one of the Big Apple’s most notorious infestations.

“The rats are going to hate Kathy, but we’re excited to have her leading this important effort,” New York City’s Mayor Eric Adams said in an announcement at St. Nicholas Park Wednesday.

“Rat mitigation is more than a quality-of-life issue for New Yorkers. Rats are a symptom of systemic issues, including sanitation, health, housing, and economic justice,” said the new “Rat Czar,” Kathleen Corradi.

OK, she has all the woke jargon working for her. Nothing woke has fixed anything to this point. Maybe the rats will get tired of hearing about equity, systemic racism and social justice and will just do what everyone else is doing and just move to Florida.

“I’m honored to lead this work, grateful to Mayor Adams for this opportunity, and look forward to sending the rats packing.”

The actual title of the “Rat Czar” position is “Citywide Director of Rodent Mitigation.” As “Rat Czar,” Kathleen Corradi will be the first dedicated member of the mayor’s office working solely on reducing the city’s rat population.

Just an FYI, she will be earning $155,000 a year and the new bureaucracy will have a budget of $3.5 million. Money well spent, I’m sure.

Our Constitution Should Be in Serious Trouble

This is absolutely ridiculous.

California church has been ordered to pay over $1 million in COVID fines after the church did not enforce a county’s social distancing and masking requirements. 

Superior Court Judge Evette Pennypacker ordered Calvary Chapel San Jose to pay $1.2 million in fines after it did not follow COVID restrictions put in place by Santa Clara County, requirements the church said violated their religious freedom. 

“It should appear clear to all — regardless of religious affiliation — that wearing a mask while worshiping one’s god and communing with other congregants is a simple, unobtrusive, giving way to protect others while still exercising your right to religious freedom,” Pennypacker wrote. “Unfortunately, Defendants repeatedly refused to model, much less, enforce this gesture. Instead, they repeatedly flouted their refusal to comply with the Public Health Orders and urged others to do so ‘who cares what the cost,’ including death.”

The church will appeal the ruling, according to church attorney Mariah Gondeiro. “We look forward to establishing more precedent on appeal that will have far greater implications for the future,” she said. 

The war on the church continues

This is going to be appealed and going to get thrown out. It is over-punishment and we now know the ineffectiveness of masks. This looks like the state is taking it out on them

This must be fought and, because of the excessive fine, the church must fight it. Religion is not a luxury. It is a serious thing for those of faith. Not going to church is not an option. The church is also a community. A social community. Wearing masks prevents that. For the faithful, the threat of dying of a disease that kills .5% of the population is nothing compared to their spiritual health. Those people will risk anything.

That, by the way, is why tyrannical governments hate religion. If people know there is a higher power, the government loses their power.

If You Wear Nikes, You’re an Idiot

Nike continues to be one of the most evil organizations in the country. And that is saying a lot.

According to the Daily Wire:

Athletic brand Nike is continuing to engage in Left-wing politics, sponsoring a “Queer Youth Field Day” on the heels of the corporation teaming up with highly controversial transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney to promote women’s apparel.

Participants of the Memphis-based event should identify as LGBTQ+ or an “ally” of the movement, and fall into the broad age range of 13 to 25 years old, according to a promotion of the event by OUTMemphis, The Daily Caller reported.

“All LGBTQ+ youth and allies aged 13-25 are invited to a free afternoon of games, music, giveaways, and good weather,” the group said, adding that the event is “free.” “We’ll have bouncy houses, obstacle courses, face painting, tie-dye, and more! Our DJ will be spinning some summer-time hits, and there will be plenty of water and snacks on hand to keep you fueled the whole afternoon!⁠”

With Mulvaney, they received backlash but doubled-down on it. They basically told everyone to stop being bigots. I find it amazing that this is a company that sells sports ware and supports women in sports doesn’t seem to support women very much.

But maybe I shouldn’t be surprised. This company has done some pretty terrible things:

  • Like sign anti-American, racist Colin Kaepernick.
  • Through their adds, promoting obesity, especially in women.
  • Dropped the Betsy Flag sneaker a couple of years ago on the 4th of July because it was seen as “too patriotic” and pissed off BLM”.
  • The broke up with NBA star Kyrie Irving because he posted a link to a movie on Amazon called Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America. The film was anti-Semitic but many thought this was extreme because it was a free speech issue.
  • Nike executives have face multiple sexual harassment and gender discrimination suits.
  • Allyson Felix, a female track star, got pregnant and wanted to start a family. Nike wanted to pay her 70% less from her contract. Nike said they would fix future contract and Felix ended up creating her own brand.
  • Nike has been accused of creating abusive sweat shops in Indonesia.
  • Human Rights Commission report said that tens of thousands of Uyghur Muslims had been transported to factories across the country to work under slave conditions in China.

This company is everything bad with capitalism.
