[NYP] Industrious vagrants lounge on stolen couches, display pricey electronics and other goods — including Broadway theater lights and high-end telescopes — and even peddle drugs to sex workers who also ply their trade inside the shantytown or filthy public bathrooms, locals said.
At one tent sex workers regularly stopped by throughout the day for customers or drugs — or both.
“This is crazy,” said one supervisor at the nearby Jacob Javits Center. “The cops and the sanitation guys and the outreach guys, they clean up one spot and after that day, the next day they’re over here. Then they’re over there. They’re kind of just spreading around.

Ants - When a colony becomes overpopulated, stress rises, resources run short, disease spreads faster, and the colony will either split, relocate, or begin producing reproductive ants to form new colonies.

Correct me if I'm wrong but my understanding is that SCOTUS ruled a year or so ago that hobos can be incarcerated. Now it's politicians like Mamdani and Bass in LA who want to destroy our country who could put an end to this problem in a week or so but they make money on taxpayer funded NGO scams that supposedly house the homeless. It's all a scam.

Back 25+ years ago, a city of Chicago low prohibiting gang loitering was vacated by SCOTUS. It was on the basis of unconstitutional vagueness.
Since then States and cities have instituted laws with more specificity, e.g., prohibiting aggressive panhandling, erecting shelters in public spaces.
I'm pretty sure NYC has laws which could be used to manage this problem. The fact that they don't is because of municipal policy.

[PJ] In what an FBI memo calls a "priority investigation," 260 FBI agents are "surging" to Fulton County, Ga., to look into possible fraud regarding the 2020 election.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) served a subpoena in April for the names and personal contact information of everyone in Fulton County who worked on the 2020 election. The request was slapped down by a judge last week. That didn't stop the the influx of FBI agents from descending on Georgia from offices around the nation to look into more than 700 pieces of evidence, including documents, ballots and tabulation machines, all of which were confiscated in a sweep last January.
The agents have a deadline of July 17 to report their findings.
Fulton County officials believe the new wave of agents is "one of the clearest signs yet of the scope and intensity of the investigation."
The Operation Mockingbird media mudpuppies at the Associated Press (AP) are still sticking with the narrative that the 2020 election was on the up-and-up:

Great. That’s like discovering that contractors have surged orange barrels to a highway that you use on your daily commute. We’d like to see some indictments soon. Please.

ABOUT DAMN TIME!!!
The Statue of Limitations is growing close.
Fulton County Officials and the D.N.C. personnel that assisted in this COUP need to serve serious time and be banned from Government.
Less anyone forget the scope of this Organized GA Voter Fraud.
Remember the Atlanta PD & GBI were called to a Rent Car locations to collect over
4,500 printed and completed FAKE ballots, that were left in a rental car.
The car renter was a NYC area DEMOCRAT election worker that was returning home, after having been flown in to create and cast 1000's fraudulent cast ballots in this Coup.
I don't remember reading that any GBI/FBI warrant was issued, or an arrest was made.

Two hundred sixty agents plus, one imagines, matching support staff for 700 pieces of evidence already secured in one place? And we have in our archives records of an awful lot of the pre-work done already.
They’ll be fine, though they won’t be getting much sleep or taking long lunches, and the air will be thick with adrenaline. The report might be a list of many more things, or categories of things, they need to examine next, based on the evidence seen thus far.
[FoxNews] Tue Lue Vang, convicted of raping a girl starting at age 10, has been deported to Laos after Rubio intervened
A 42-year-old illegal immigrant convicted of repeatedly raping a child was awarded a pardon by Gov. Tim Walz’s board of pardons after the state’s clemency commission recommended it be granted to him due to "immigration concerns."
Fox News Digital reviewed documents from the Minnesota Clemency Review Commission, which voted 4-2 to grant a pardon to Laotian national Tue Lue Vang following his conviction for criminal sexual conduct. Vang admitted to repeatedly raping a girl over a multi-year period beginning when she was 10 years old. While the two board members who voted against granting a pardon noted the serious nature of Vang’s offenses, the four members recommending a pardon each listed concern about him being deported.
One commissioner, Zach Linstrom, who voted in favor of granting the pardon, wrote in his recommendation, "Very tough case but the kids not having a father is not in the best interest of society," referring to Vang’s six children.
One commissioner, Zach Linstrom, who voted in favor of granting the pardon, wrote in his recommendation, "Very tough case but the kids not having a father is not in the best interest of society," referring to Vang’s six children. Artika Roller, another commissioner who voted in favor of the pardon, wrote, "The applicant stated the need for clemency related to immigration issues."
Following the commission’s recommendation, the Minnesota Board of Pardons, which consists of Walz, state Attorney General Keith Ellison and Minnesota Supreme Court Chief Justice Natalie Hudson, awarded Vang a full pardon on June 10, essentially giving him a clean slate as he was set to be deported.
Vang entered the U.S. through California in 1994 and was granted legal status by the Clinton administration. Between 2002 and 2004, when Vang was between 18 and 20 years old, he had sexual intercourse with the victim four to six times. The abuse took place in St. Paul, Minnesota, in Ramsey County. The first rape took place when the victim was in fourth grade.
Documents reviewed by Fox News Digital reveal that the victim "did not understand what Vang was doing, so she let him." As time went on, the document notes that the victim began to tell her friends about the abuse, who testified that she was "angry and sad" about it. At one time, the document said that Vang offered the victim $10 to keep quiet about the abuse.
While Ramsey County District Court Judge Sara Grewing did not take a position on Vang’s pardon, Ramsey County Assistant Attorney Tami McConkey recommended against granting it.
In her formal opposition statement, McConkey noted that her office had offered a dispositional departure to Vang because the then-12-year-old victim experienced pressure from her family not to cooperate with law enforcement after his arrest.
Vang was sentenced to 12 years in prison following his conviction. However, the sentence was stayed in favor of 30 years of supervised probation, which included one year of local confinement. Ultimately, he served eight months at the county correctional workhouse. He was discharged from probation early in 2019.
McConkey noted that there were several additional aggravating factors in the case, including Vang abusing the victim over an extended period of time, in one instance even driving her to his home to abuse her, and not using sexual protection.
A criminal complaint shared with Fox News Digital states that upon his arrest, Vang told police, "I made a mistake, but this is a minor thing. It is a cultural thing in Thailand to marry and have sex with girls as young as 12." The complaint also notes that "Vang stated [the victim] should be arrested also because she was as much at fault."
McConkey noted that "while Mr. Vang expresses shame and regret about what his children experience when then [sic] learn of the offense, he does not share any thoughts or insight about what the victim must have gone through."
Despite this, several commissioners noted that the victim supported a pardon for Vang in their reasons for their recommendation.
Commissioner Nadine Graves wrote, "The victim supports this pardon. His [Vang’s] wife stayed and has forgiven. He also [has] immigration concerns. He has remorse and was discharged from probation."
Graves noted Vang’s early discharge from probation and wrote that "he retracted his prior statement about this being a result of culture. He admits this was wrong then and will always be wrong."

In his application for a pardon, Vang wrote, "I carry deep shame and regret for the harm I caused." He noted that he was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in December and was facing a final order of removal. He expressed worry that, because he arrived in the U.S. as a child, if he were deported he "would be sent to a place entirely unfamiliar to me, with no family, no home, and no future."
Vang wrote, "My fear is that, if deported, my children will grow up without a father, like I did" and "I will do all that I can to be here and to protect them from the outcomes of my deportation."
[Just The News] A small town Kansas mayor born in Mexico. A Filipino senior citizen living in Hawaii. Two Pakistani men residing in New Jersey. An Aussie in Louisiana. And a Chinese student studying at the University of Michigan. They all have one thing in common.
Each has been charged in the last year with illegally voting in U.S. federal elections as foreigners, part of a sudden wave of prosecutions led by the Trump Justice Department for a crime that used to be among the rarest in the federal court system.
The Trump Justice Department has secured about two dozen noncitizen voting arrests, prosecutions or convictions in the last few months alone, with about another 90 more cases under investigation, officials told Just the News. And all 50 states were sent notices this month that election officials can and will be prosecuted too if they allow noncitizens to vote.
"It isn't just bad policy to let non-citizens vote in federal elections, it's a crime. And that this Department of Justice will intend to prosecute that crime if these election officials, having been informed that they are non-citizens on the voter rolls, knowingly allow those people to vote, enable their enrollment on the voter rolls, are passive in the face of this knowledge, etc. This is not some idle threat," Assistant Attorney General for Ciril Rights Harmeet Dhillon told the Just the News, No Noise television show.
[NY Post] That didn't take long. Parasites alight Lindsey might have predicted such behavior.
Firebrand Rep. Nancy Mace is “strongly” considering a bid for late Sen. Lindsey Graham’s now-vacant seat, two sources confirmed to The Post.
Mace (R-SC), who finished in fifth place in the South Carolina GOP gubernatorial primary last month, is keeping her options open and exploring the viability of a potential last-minute Senate campaign.Graham (R-SC) died suddenly Saturday evening after “a brief and sudden illness,” according to his office. He was up for reelection this year and was favored to win after prevailing in the GOP primary last month.
Due to losing her primary, Mace is set to depart the House next January. She still has some $185,000 cash on hand left in her federal campaign account, according to the latest Federal Election Commission filings.
The congresswoman — who has a history of making wild accusations and statements — ran against Graham in his 2014 GOP primary for reelection, but finished in fifth place.
After losing her primary, Mace initially teased plans to make a return to the private sector. She had alienated President Trump by backing the Epstein Files Transparency Act, among other issues.
Trump, who backed South Carolina Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette (R) before also endorsing Attorney General Alan Wilson (R), who went on to win the runoff in the governor’s race, indicated that he has someone in mind whom he’d like to succeed Graham.
“I have somebody that I think would be great,” Trump told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” on Sunday.
