Amazing! There still are New Yorkers in New York.

The bewildered, helpless look on the face of "little boy," realizing his regurgitations of the radical crap intubated by his radical professors at the American University are going nowhere with this tough old broad, is priceless. She's obviously in her element, loving every minute of it and her "Nu Yawk" accent makes it all the more special, as does the cross around her neck.

I hope this one goes viral.

From Fox News:

A progressive Minneapolis neighborhood that pledged not to call the police in the wake of the death of George Floyd is now dealing with a 300-strong homeless encampment in a local park, according to reports.

Traffic has reportedly increased in the neighborhood around Powderhorn Park, as drug dealers seek to meet their clientele displaced during the civil unrest, rioting and looting following Floyd’s death at the end of May. At least one person overdosed inside the park and was brought out by an ambulance. Prostitution has also been reported in the area.

Residents though have agreed to “check their privilege” and “protect people of color” by not involving law enforcement to report instances of property damage, according to the New York Times.

Gosh, with all that mayhem, you think the neighborhood residents might change their tune? Not a chance. Not this one:

"I’m not being judgmental,” Carrie Nightshade, 44, told the Times, explaining she no longer allows her children, 12 and 9, to play in the park by themselves. “It’s not personal. It’s just not safe."

Nor this one:

Another resident, Mitchell Erickson, said he regretted calling 911 when two black teenagers cornered him a block away from his home, held a gun to his chest and demanded his car keys. Erickson said he mistakenly handed over his house keys, and the frustrated teens left him only to steal another car a few blocks away.

“Been thinking more about it,” Erickson said in a text message to a reporter. “I regret calling the police. It was my instinct but I wish it hadn’t been. I put those boys [sic] in danger of death by calling the cops.”

Nor, apparently, the rest of the neighborhood and local officials are with them all the way.

 

Residents in the neighborhood historically known for its far-left politics and activism intervened last week when park police gave campers 72 hours to dismantle their tents and leave. The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board has since passed a resolution not to evict people from any city park and has called for increased funding for longer-term housing for campers, according to the Star Tribune.

And social workers. Got to have social workers lest there be an outbreak of violent crime.

An old saw claims a conservative is a liberal who's been mugged. There's truth to that, but it presumes of course the unfortunate muggee possesses at a least a minimum capability of empirical reasoning. These Minneapolitans seem to have none, thus are condemned to be victimized over and over again until they're lowered in the grave, possibly assisted in that by a member of the same criminal class for whom they profess such sympathy. You have to wonder does this virtue signalling of theirs release such powerful endorphins that the euphoria completely inhibits the awful pain of continual victimhood? 

More puzzling is many if not most of these hapless souls are descendants of a generation not too far back that managed to crush Hitler's Germany and Hirohito's Japan. What a tragedy, and what an outrage.

The Lengths We go to Avoid Practicing, or: Straining at a Gnat.

Dear [music dealer],

I was about to make my first purchase from you of a volume of Durufle organ works, as your price was seemingly competitive and I like to patronize traditional retailers whenever possible.

Unfortunately, when I got to the check-out page, in addition to the shipping charge (which was reasonable) there was an additional one-dollar charge for "handling." Isn't "handling" part of the shipping process? Is it possible to have an item shipped without "handling" and if not, wouldn't it be more ethical to include it in the shipping charge?

In any event, that small one-dollar charge irked me enough to buy the book on Amazon instead. My reason for writing is to give you a "heads-up" that slipping in extra fees, no matter how small, appears underhanded and you will lose customers over them, as you have lost me. I urge you to quit the practice. 

Sincerely, 

[The Bovina Bloviator]

It Was a Helluva Town.

Watching New York City, the city of my ancestors back to when the lingua franca was Dutch, burn (again) is heartbreaking. Making it worse are the two incompetent clowns, the Mayor and the Governor, making fools of themselves constantly bickering with one another as mobs destroy everything in sight. Worse still, far worse, if those two buffoons, their malfeasance not withstanding, were to run for re-election, they would both win by huge margins, as they have in the past. You see, both have Ds after their names and both slavishly hew to the received body politic of the ruling class, for which nothing else matters. 

Since New York's voters then are ultimately responsible for the two horrors, de Blasio and Cuomo, letting the City go to ruin while they shoot spitballs at each other, I cannot imagine myself ever wanting to return, even for a short visit. To be among a citizenry that permitted the despoiling of the city I loved and lived in for so many years is simply more than I could bear.

Note to the Media.

Has there ever been a "protest"-turned-violent that didn't begin "peacefully?" Maybe it's time to retire this tendentious, deceitful and overused trope; you're not fooling anyone anymore. Give it a rest.
