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.

The Liberal Party of Canada has been telling voters for about 15 years that getting Canada's emissions down is the most important issue and their main goal.

Non-straight activists have filed numerous lawsuits in hopes of blocking the implementation of President Donald Trump's Executive Order 14168, which made it the policy of the United States to recognize the biological reality and immutability of the two sexes and to protect women from "gender ideology extremism."

A murderous foreign national recently added his complaint to the pile.

Oscar Contreras Aguilar was one of 11 members and associates of the terrorist gang Mara Salvatrucha, otherwise known as MS-13, indicted on June 22, 2018, in the Eastern District of Virginia in connection with the savage murders of two teen boys, ages 14 and 17. WTTG-TV reported at the time that 10 of the 11 MS-13 thugs were illegal aliens.

The remains of the victims, who were reported missing in the summer of 2016, were found buried in Holmes Run Park in Fairfax County.

The MS-13 terrorists killed the older victim, figuring him for a member of a rival gang. When they subsequently killed the younger victim, whom they believed was cooperating with law enforcement, the terrorists reportedly filmed their butchery, which was carried out with multiple weapons including a kitchen knife and a machete.

Aguilar was initially charged with conspiracy to commit murder in aid of racketeering and conspiracy to kidnap, then later slapped with two additional charges: capital murder in aid of racketeering and kidnapping resulting in death.

Now a few years into his 252-month sentence, Aguilar is suing Trump, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and William Marshall, director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

The 27-year-old MS-13 terrorist, now a transvestite who calls himself Fendii G. Skyy, seeks to prevent the implementation of the president's Jan. 20 executive order titled "Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government."

Trump's order rejected gender ideology; prohibited the use of federal funds to promote transgenderism or sex change procedures; and instructed Attorney General Pam Bondi to ensure "that males are not detained in women's prisons or housed in women's detention centers."

In his prisoner complaint filed on July 21 in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Aguilar makes a long list of demands, including a "preliminary and permanent injunction enjoining defendants from enforcing and/or implementing Trump's executive order No. 14168 as to plaintiff; declaratory relief stating Trump's executive order No. 14168 is discriminatory and persecutes transgender people; and [sic] order striking down Trump's executive order No. 14168 as discriminatory and unconstitutional; preliminary and permanent injunction enjoining defendants and BOP from discontinuing plaintiff's gender-affirming care"; an injunction against prison guards using his proper male pronouns; and an order requiring prison officials to let him to continue to wear women's underwear and cosmetics.

The 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.

Quote from: DKG on August 09, 2025, 09:54:26 AMThe Trump administration is celebrating saving $7 billion for taxpayers by ending solar subsidies, but Sen. Bernie Sanders (I) of Vermont is incensed that a program he backed is ending.

Environmental Protection Agency administrator Lee Zeldin announced the closing down of the Solar for All program that had funneled federal funding to pay for residential solar projects. The program was passed during former President Joe Biden's term.

"The bottom line is this: EPA no longer has the statutory authority to administer the program or the appropriated funds to keep this boondoggle alive," Zeldin said in a statement on social media Thursday. "Today, the Trump EPA is announcing that we are ending Solar for All for good, saving US taxpayers ANOTHER $7 BILLION!"

Sanders had introduced the program in 2023 and said it was part of the effort to combat the "existential" threat of global climate change.

Bernie Sanders doesn't understand working folks. Their biggest issue aint climate change. That shit is for rich urban assholes like old Bernie who aint ever had a real job in their lives.

The official Democratic Party X account made a monumental blunder late Thursday when it was a little too honest about the state of the country under President Biden.

It was just after dinner time when the Democrats' account attempted to do what it typically does: dunk on President Trump.

The account decided to make a post mocking "Trump's America," but unfortunately for Democrats, it immediately backfired.

The attached graph showed prices of cheese, alcohol, grocery, dairy, produce, and meat.

In addition to the confusing double-speak, the graph showed that prices skyrocketed in 2021 and continued to creep upward through 2024.

It did not take long for readers to notice that the Democrats were accidentally highlighting the stark increase in prices that caused so much suffering under President Biden's term.

President Trump's rapid response team replied to the post almost immediately and pointed out that most of the prices started going down when President Trump took office.

Reporters soon noticed the Democrats had apparently deleted their post, but luckily an X user managed to archive the image for the whole world to see.

Peter Zeihan explains why the Democrats are losing ground.

She is pushing an alternative reality.

On Wednesday, the former House speaker asserted that Vice President Kamala Harris became the Democratic Party's presidential nominee after she "won" an "open primary."

For the party that squawks about democracy, Harris was elevated unchallenged via a closed process. There was nothing 'open' or democratic about it.
