In New York City, illegal alien gangs roam the streets looking for people to rob while mentally ill repeat offenders assault innocent commuters on the subways. As this goes on, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg releases repeat offenders hours after they assault or rob someone and typically declines to prosecute them. Yet, if a 61-year-old bodega employee defends himself against a violent repeat offender attacking him and the offender dies, Bragg prosecutes the victim. The attacker was black and the Hispanic employee spent a week in jail until a judge dismissed Bragg’s second-degree murder charge.

Today, a New York City jury acquitted Daniel Penny, who grabbed mentally ill repeat-offender Jordan Neely, who was threatening to attack subway riders.  Penny held Neely in a choke hold until he blacked out. Neely, who was high on drugs, died.

Last weekend, President Joe Biden explained to the nation that the Justice Department targeted his son, Hunter, for selective prosecution.  In his statement accompanying the President’s pardon of his son, Biden alleged that:

“Hunter was singled out only because he is my son—and that is wrong . . . . Here’s the truth. I believe in the justice system, but as I have wrestled with this, I also believe that raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice . . . .”

The head of the U.S. Department of Justice is Attorney General Merrick Garland, whom President Biden appointed. It would be preposterous to suggest that Garland did not authorize the prosecution of Hunter Biden. He most certainly authorized the unprecedented prosecutions of former president Donald Trump and the unannounced search of Trump’s home in Florida by dozens of armed FBI agents.

In the wake of a November 18 Manhattan stabbing spree by a habitual criminal that left three people dead, New York Congressman Ritchie Torres has targeted New York Governor Kathy Hochul as the “New Joe Biden,” for allowing the murderer’s early release. Michael Ruiz of Fox News reports that Congressman Torres, a Democrat, was referring to 51-year-old Ramon Rivera, who had eight priors, before the state’s Department of Corrections released him early from the psych ward at Bellevue Hospital for good behavior, somehow forgetting that while there he assaulted a corrections officer.

Matt Gaetz, the lightning-rod Florida Congressman nominated by President-elect Trump for Attorney General, has withdrawn his name from  consideration by the Senate. Melissa Quinn of CBS News reports that Gaetz issued this statement on social media this morning: “While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition.” Gaetz resigned his House seat last week following his nomination, but questions about his qualifications and and a yet unreleased report by the House Ethics Committee on alleged sexual misconduct and drug use put his confirmation at risk. Hopefully, the President-elect will take this opportunity to nominate a strong conservative with recognized legal scholarship and a better understanding of the workings of the Department of Justice. Senator Ted Cruz comes to mind.

The illegal alien who brutally murdered 22-year-old coed Laken Riley last February has been sentenced to life-without-the-possibility-of-parole (LWOP). Steven Vago and Chris Nesi of the New York Post report that Venezuelan gang member Jose Ibarra showed no emotion as Clark County Judge Patrick Haggard announced his sentence. Ibarra ended up in the college town of Athens, Georgia six months before murdering Riley after the Biden Administration flew him there at taxpayers’ expense from JFK airport in New York City.  He was in the U.S. illegally thanks to the Biden/Harris open border policy.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has decided to postpone a decision on clemency for the two brothers sentenced to life without parole for murdering their parents in 1989. Michael Ruiz of Fox News reports that Erik and Lyle Menendez had asked Newsom to grant their request ahead of a December 11 resentencing hearing in LA Superior Court requested by District Attorney George Gascón. Gascón took up the brothers’ petition for resentencing last month as a publicity stunt he thought would help his reelection campaign. He was mistaken. Challenger Nathan Hochman defeated Gascón by a 2 to 1 vote on November 5. In a statement to the press Newsom said that he will “defer to the DA-elect’s review and analysis of the Menendez case prior to making any clemency decisions.”
