[NYPOST] A deranged blue-haired brute went on a sick crime spree in Manhattan this week, groping four women — one of them blind — and lighting another unsuspecting victim's hair on fire, police and prosecutors said.
Edwin Page — a 28-year-old from Harlem with at least 10 prior arrests and more than a dozen mental health outbursts, according to sources — is now charged with sex abuse, forcible touching and assault as a hate crime in the rash of broad-daylight attacks across Chelsea and Midtown South.
''He stands before the court charged with five separate incidents involving five different strangers,'' Assistant District Attorney Shara Safer said in Manhattan Criminal Court Wednesday, adding the incidents were captured on surveillance video.

I can understand, with a Tony Montana idol tshirt.
[MAIL] A Yale University professor has sparked outrage by suggesting the only way to deal with Japan's rapidly aging population is a mass suicide and disembowelment.
Yusuke Narita, an assistant professor of economics at Yale, defended his views in a New York Times profile this weekend after he made the remarks on a streaming news program in 2021.
'I feel like the only solution is pretty clear,' he said at the time. 'In the end, isn't it mass suicide and mass 'seppuku' of the elderly?'
Seppuku was a ritual disembowelment that was forced upon samurai who had brought dishonor to themselves in 19th century Japan.
The slaying of the innocent, not just limited to the unborn.

Remember Jonathon Swift's A Modest Proposal(1729) ironical essay about solving Irish famines and poverty with cannibalism? It's hard to tell just how serious the professor is...
The samurai toddler had beckoned
To Grandma and Daddy (her second).
Then, masterless ronin
All set about bonin'
And rendered the shogunate fecund!

[Federalist] If we don’t insist on the total assimilation and Americanization of our immigrants, we’ll cease to be America and become something else.
If you want to know what mass immigration without assimilation produces in a country, look no further than Scotland. Immigrants from Pakistan now constitute an ethno-religious voting bloc in that country with their very own politicians advocating for nakedly sectarian interests.
Recently, a video clip from 2022 resurfaced on social media of Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar standing in front of the flag of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan claiming that "change is coming" and forthrightly calling for ethnic and Muslim sectarianism in Scottish politics. Sarwar doesn’t mince words: He wants his people to take control of every level of government in Scotland.

In the 19th and early 20th Century, legal immigrants tended to congregate among their own, thus "Little" ethnic enclaves in cities and whole villages and town. However, it was nearly universal that the elders insisted their children learn English. They wanted their children to be 'American' without hyphenations.
[Zero] The British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) is warning of a workless "lost generation," caused partly by the number of young people suffering from poor mental health.
The body is calling for immediate government action which it says is needed to help young people from generation Z, generally defined as those born between 1997—2012, to enter the workplace or education.
Its report, "Creating Job Opportunities for Gen Z," released on Monday, follows research published last week which found the number of young people claiming benefits owing to poor mental health or neurodiverse conditions such as autism and ADHD was not economically "sustainable."
’Double Whammy’
Shevaun Haviland, director general of the BCC, said: "The UK’s active workforce is rapidly ageing, while the number of young people who are not in employment, education or training is at its highest level for a decade.
"Generation Z face a double whammy of increasing barriers to entering the workforce, and reducing opportunities as the number of vacancies continues to fall.
"But research shows the longer we leave this pool of talent to drift away from the workplace the harder it becomes for them to engage."
The BCC, which represents a large number of smaller businesses, is calling on the government to spend more on mental health support and further education and for a more "collaborative approach" across the various Whitehall departments.
’Rise of Anxiety’
Last week’s report from the Tony Blair Institute (TBI) pointed to soaring numbers of people reporting poor mental health and claiming benefits since the COVID-19 lockdown era.
"One clear trend is the rise of anxiety particularly since the COVID-19 pandemic. Data from the Annual Population Survey show that prior to the pandemic, self-reported levels of anxiety in the population were relatively stable. Since 2019, however, the number of people reporting high levels of anxiety has surged and remained high, with 23 per cent of working-age adults reporting ’poor anxiety’ in 2023," authors for the former prime minister’s organisation wrote.
Mental health conditions are now the most commonly reason cited by people across all age groups who are out of work owing to long-term sickness, the report by the TBI notes.
"The reasons behind this shift remain unclear. It may reflect a rise in true prevalence, but other factors could also be at play — such as distorted financial incentives within the system, overdiagnosis or changing public attitudes and awareness around mental health.
"Whatever the cause, one thing is clear: the current trajectory is unsustainable," the authors concluded.
The study highlights a 168 percent reported increase in depression, anxiety, and stress among those aged 16—24 in the two decades ending in 2019, with a 42 percent rise seen across all age groups.
It also notes a doubling in the prescribing of ADHD medication since 2018—2019, with the younger age group the main driver behind this increase.

Most 50+ don't have to spend time on remedial math. They can adapt quicker than GenZ et al. It's the liberal white women in HR that are sabotaging their own companies with their bias hiring practices and progressive policies.

[FOX] Former vice presidential nominee Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., continued a self-described "listening tour" across the country at a Harvard Kennedy School forum on Monday night, ruling out a 2028 presidential bid and revealing why former Vice President Kamala Harris chose him as her running mate.
Walz said Harris chose him, in part, because, "I could code talk to White guys watching football, fixing their truck" and "put them at ease." The Minnesota governor described himself as the "permission structure" for White men from rural America to vote for Democrats.
"I think I'll give you pretty good stuff, but I'll also give you 10% problematic," Walz added when pushed by moderator Brittany Shepherd, ABC News national political reporter, about why he didn't take that message to cable news to reach a larger audience. Walz laughed off criticism over inconsistencies in his background on the 2024 campaign trail, describing himself as a "knucklehead."
Walz told CNN's Jake Tapper earlier this month that he was considering a third bid for Minnesota governor but was not thinking about running for president in 2028. When asked by Shepherd to explain, Walz said the Democratic Party should run a collective 2028 presidential campaign.
He is such a loser that even losers avoid him.
Psst, Tim! Guys don't say "code talk" unless they are actually taking about code.
Perhaps President Trump, in the spirit of bipartisanship, could nominate Timmy as Ambassador to White America. He would not take the job, of course, but the outrage and screaming would be delicious.

Permission Structure is such a neo-left buzz word construction. If you remember they tried this with the women as well, that commercial with White Billy Bob Doofus and his wife at the poll center, Billy saunters up to the woman, "Well I ah hope you voted for right person." Gal strikes a gay disney smirk pose, "I ah shore did." wink and fades to Harris banner.
It is a social construct theory in movie previews, hiring actors to chortle or gasp whatever during certain scenes so that the critics, if not join in, can at least use those prompts as to what corporate wants the advertising message to be. "Ugh, this Thunderbolts is 2 hours of nothing but lame disney one-liners but that guy was chuckling the whole time, so quirky comedy instead of lame and boring."
