Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and other Democrats used the occasion to belittle and mock those who would offer up prayers for the victims and their families.

Frey demonstrated his far-left extremism in January when he announced that the city's officers would not be cooperating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

And global warming wealth transfers to corporations and open borders.

Democrats keep themselves busy — just not with governing. They're posting cringeworthy parodies of the president. They're jetting to Central America to lobby for foreign gang members. They're hurling sandwiches at cops clearing out tent cities full of human waste and cracking down on crime in the capital. They're showing up on CNN in Ukraine T-shirts under their suit jackets and generally having a grand ol' time.

Out in the country, though, the picture looks far less exciting. Democrats no longer know how to approach minority voters, much less how to register them when they can't count on their loyalty. Support among young men has cratered to Depression-era lows. And the Democratic National Committee is reporting less cash on hand than at any point in the last five years.

The New York Times admitted as much on Wednesday.

For years, the left has relied on a sprawling network of nonprofits — which solicit donations from people whose identities they need not disclose — to register black, Latino and younger voters. Though the groups are technically nonpartisan, the underlying assumption has been that most new voters registering would vote Democratic.

Donald Trump blew up that assumption. He's pulling in minority voters — especially men — at levels Republicans haven't seen in decades. The party's old strategy is collapsing. Its supposed devotion to "universal voter registration" suddenly looks less like a principle and more like a partisan ploy.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) has long used her pardon powers to spare criminal noncitizens from deportation.

For instance, in December 2022, Hochul pardoned nine foreign nationals who engaged in criminal activity after migrating to the United States — crimes including drug dealing, theft, robbery witness tampering, and drug possession.

The Democrat governor has issued yet another slew of pardons, but this she time did so without any fanfare and announced them only after the New York Times reported on the decision — likely because she was helping a killer avoid deportation.

Sammy Vatthanavong, 52, reportedly entered the U.S. as a refugee from Laos with his family around the age of 7. He was convicted of first-degree manslaughter in 1990 after gunning down an unarmed man two years earlier during a confrontation in a Brooklyn pool hall.

According to AsAmNews, Vatthanavong — who claimed he acted in self-defense — was sentenced to 14 years in prison and stripped of his green card.

Hochul granted the killer an unconditional pardon on July 1, one day ahead of his mandatory immigration appointment, where Mekong NYC suggested he stood a risk of arrest.

Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin confirmed to the New York Times that Vatthanavong "would be on a deportation flight to Laos" were it not for Hochul's intervention.

Quote from: DKG on August 16, 2025, 10:00:15 AMThe complaint indicates that Aguilar, who has been in federal custody since 2017 and is now supposedly suicidal, has been receiving cross-sex medical interventions since July 2024 and currently receives testosterone blockers and estrogen. However, the complaint suggested that as a direct result of Trump's executive order, Aguilar is set to be cut off of the hormone-altering drugs.

Awww bawwwwww, tell the little bitch to strangle himself with a prison sheet after lights out, I don't give a fuck.
