NYC turns into no-go zone as murders skyrocket and 500,000 middle-class residents flee…
(Drudge / Daily Mail) Caroline Graham writes that: The number of shooting victims has gone up 51 per cent to 616 this year in NYC. In June, there were 250 shootings compared to 97 in the same month in 2019. There were 176 murders in the first six months of 2020. Burglaries are up 119 per cent and car thefts up 48 per cent.
Shops have been looted as “youths” spray paint security cameras and break windows to rob stores. Shops are boarded up to protect from looters. Crowds throw glass bottles at cops as they respond to shootings, and set police vehicles on fire.
Many blame New York’s mayor, Bill de Blasio, who has slashed police funding by a billion dollars, ended “stop-and-frisk” (which allowed police to stop and search anyone solely on the basis of ‘reasonable suspicion’). He also got rid of money bail, allowing criminal suspects on the streets. And last week de Blasio vowed to paint a huge Black Lives Matter sign outside President Trump’s flagship Trump Tower.
Trump tweeted: ‘NYC is cutting police $'s by ONE BILLION DOLLARS and yet the NYC Mayor is going to paint a big, expensive, yellow Black Lives Matter sign on Fifth Avenue, denigrating this luxury Avenue.’
Referring to the police, the President added: ‘This will further antagonize New York’s Finest who LOVE New York & vividly remember the horrible BLM chant, “Pigs In A Blanket, Fry ’Em Like Bacon”. Maybe our GREAT Police, who have been neutralized and scorned by a mayor who hates & disrespects them won’t let this symbol of hate be affixed to New York’s greatest street. Spend this money fighting crime instead!’
NY / NYC botched Covid
Hotels are closed. New York state has suffered the highest coronavirus death toll in America. The governor put coronavirus patients in nursing homes, exposing the most vulnerable with the virus, leading to a high death toll.
500,000 mostly wealthy and middle-class residents fled when Covid-19 struck in March. More than 24,000 dead, nearly 10,000 more than the second-hardest hit state, New Jersey, and eight times the number killed by terrorists on 9/11!
More than 1.2 million people have lost their jobs, mostly low-paid roles in restaurants and retail.
Joel Kotkin, a supposed leading expert on urban trends, and a native New Yorker who now lives in California, told The Mail: “conditions were perfect for the pandemic to flourish. The subway was filthy…” and other social rot.
The good news is de Blasio will stand down next year due to two-term limits for NYC mayors.
Other black violence
2 dead, 8 injured in SC nightclub shooting…
It was a mass shooting at Lavish Lounge on White Horse Rd in Greenville County Saturday night / Sunday morning. Late Sunday afternoon, deputies released photos of four persons of interest (ALL BLACK). They say they have reason to believe they are from the Atlanta area. One victim was a 23-y-o black mother of two, Mykala Bell, and another a 51-y-o male, Clarence Sterling Johnson. Both died at the hospital. 10 patients in total were hospitalized. There was a concert happening and a "very, very, very, large crowd" inside the club, according to Sheriff Hobart Lewis.
"There's a lot of shell casings inside," Lewis said. "Everything is turned over, there are a few chairs in there, food on the floor, some bottles busted. You can tell somebody left in a hurry. There are some pretty large amounts of blood."
(At first the local NBC affiliate said 12 were shot, but that may not be accurate, since 10 were reported hospitalized — 2 dead, at least 8 remain injured.)

Trump's Taxes and Birth Control Top Supreme Court's Closing Agenda... Developing…
(Drudge / Bloomberg via MSN) ...potentially blockbuster decisions covering birth control, religious rights and President Donald Trump’s efforts to keep his financial records private...eight remaining cases starting Monday. They’ll issue opinions in July for the first time since 1996. The eight cases were heard in an extraordinary May argument session, held by telephone because of the coronavirus outbreak. The justices could finish their work later in the week.
Taxes
House Democrats and a New York state prosecutor are separately trying to get Trump’s accounting firm to turn over his financial records, material that could include the tax returns he has long refused to release publicly. The House committees are also subpoenaing the president’s banks.
Trump says lawmakers are trying to engage in law enforcement, which his legal team argues is beyond Congress’s constitutional powers, particularly when it involves the president’s private affairs. And Trump contends presidents should have absolute immunity from state criminal investigations while in office to ensure against unwarranted distractions. NICE
House Democrats say they are pursuing legitimate legislative goals, including updating federal ethics and money-laundering laws and fighting foreign efforts to influence U.S. elections. The case isn’t directly tied to any impeachment investigation. LYING!
Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. is another Trump-hating sleaze.
Birth control
The Trump administration is seeking to give employers and universities a broad right to claim a religious or moral exemption from the Obamacare requirement that they offer free birth control through their health-care plans. The opt-out would expand a narrower religious exemption offered by President Barack Obama’s administration as part of the deceptively named Affordable Care Act.
A high court blessing for Trump’s opt-out could mean that tens of thousands of woman would lose access to free contraceptives.
The administration is arguing alongside the Little Sisters of the Poor, an order of Catholic nuns that says it is trying to avoid having its employee health-care plan “hijacked” to provide birth-control coverage.
Religious schools
The court also will decide whether to extend a previous ruling that shields faith-based organizations from discrimination claims by ministers.
Other stuff
They dealt with faithless electors, people in the Electoral College who don’t vote the way they were sent to vote — they said states can force electoral college representatives to vote the way the people want.
And they’ll address the 1991 Robocalls ban and whether much of eastern Oklahoma is still American Indian territory, SMH.
Columbus haters
BALTIMORE: Mob Pulls Down City's Columbus Statue, Toss It Into Harbor…
(Drudge / CBS Baltimore / WJZ) — Videos posted to social media Saturday show “protesters” pulling down Baltimore’s statue of Christopher Columbus near Little Italy and throwing it into the Inner Harbor. THAT’S CALLED RIOTING.
They used rope to pull it down, dragged it down some stairs, and across brick pavers before dumping its parts into the water.
One sleazy woman posted “Happy Fourth” on FB, crediting an apparent accomplice or journalist Spencer Compton on Twitter.
Police told WJZ that they are aware of the incident but that roads in the area were blocked off. Protesters blocked off several streets during Fourth of July protests around Baltimore. SO THE RIOTERS WERE IN CHARGE.
The statue was dedicated to the City of Baltimore by the Italian American Organization in October 1984.
Statues of Columbus have been torn down in other major cities across the U.S. amid recent RIOTS. Italians elsewhere protected their statue, but no one protected this one. Baltimore’s mayor is black, police chief is black, and most of the city council is black.
