MTG Wants Death Penalty For Illegal Who Murdered Woman On Subway By Setting Her On Fire

Blowing through social media, the Usual Moonbats are more upset with what MTG said than a woman being set on fire

Marjorie Taylor Greene wants death penalty for migrant who allegedly set woman on fire on subway: ‘Finish him’

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., is calling for the swift trial, conviction, and execution of the man charged in connection with the gruesome murder of a woman burned alive on a New York City subway.

The outspoken Republican took to social media on Tuesday to address the incident, in which Guatemalan national Sebastian Zapeta, 33, is accused of setting a woman on fire while on a train in Brooklyn.

“Death penalty, don’t waste money on a lengthy trial. Convict him and finish him. What he did is so incredibly evil,” Greene declared in a post on X. “I can’t watch the video anymore. And how it seems like no one tried to save her is beyond me. Maybe they did but it doesn’t seem like it.”

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., also called for capital punishment.

“Death penalty,” she tweeted.

Unfortunately, it takes way too long to go through the whole system before someone is put to death. Obviously, there are those on the Left and the Right who are not fans of the death penalty. How about building a federal prison for the worst illegal criminals on an island off the coast of Alaska? Nowhere to escape to, nice harsh cold conditions, which is wonderful for all those who came from hot countries. Or, just drop them off with a few supplies and say “we’ll be back periodically for your court appearances”?

Massachusetts Gov. Healey clarifies state’s stance on migrants

Massachusetts Democratic Gov. Maura Healey is making it clear that her state is not a sanctuary state despite eight Massachusetts cities, including Boston and Cambridge, declaring sanctuary status. Sanctuary policies are designed to limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, with the primary goal of protecting immigrants who are in the country illegally from being detained or deported by federal authorities.

Healey sat down for an interview with WBZ-TV in Boston earlier this week.

“We’re seeing the number of migrant families coming into Massachusetts go way down,” Healey said. “That’s good because I’ve also sent the message: Massachusetts, we are not a sanctuary state. If you come here, there is not housing.”

Huh. I thought all these Dem run states were super accepting of illegals? Well, until they realize how much they cost and how much crime they bring. Oh, and I bet she’s been listening to Tom Holman when he says he’s serious about seeing those who help illegals will get prosecuted.

Yes, Virginia, There Is A Santa Claus

Every Christmas, once everyone is up, Christmas greetings were made, hugs were exchanged, the presents were opened, and breakfast was being made, I would read this first in the paper (ye olde parental units get an actual paper, and they live in NJ). It is a Christmas classic that has always touched my soul. While some people outside of the Tri-State area have heard of it, rarely do papers outside of the NY-NJ-Conn area see it in print, and I always direct them to read it online. Especially since we keep getting news pieces as to whether or not we should be telling kids the truth about Santa (we shouldn’t. Let them be kids). I humbly bring it to you, and hope it touches you as much as it touches me:

Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus

Editorial Page, New York Sun, 1897

We take pleasure in answering thus prominently the communication below, expressing at the same time our great gratification that its faithful author is numbered among the friends of The Sun:

I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, If you see it in The Sun, it’s so. Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus?
Virginia O’Hanlon

Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a sceptical age. They do not believe except what they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men’s or children’s, are little. In this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.

He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The external light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.

Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies. You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if you did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that’s no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.

You tear apart the baby’s rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived could tear apart. Only faith, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.

No Santa Claus? Thank God he lives and lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay 10 times 10,000 years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!

And a Merry Christmas from deep down in my heart to all my friends and visitors out there.

If you would like to know the background on the letter, you can go to the 2004 posting of this.

Merry Christmas, Everyone!

Your Fault: Spanish Barnacles Doomed From Global Boiling

They survived just fine during the previous Holocene warm periods, and cool periods. But, not, doom!

The barnacle, Spaniards’ favourite Christmas dish, imperilled by climate change

On the craggy rocks on northwestern Spain’s treacherous Costa da Morte (Death Coast), wetsuit-clad fishermen dodge crashing waves as they pick barnacles, a prized Christmas delicacy facing decline due to climate change and other factors.

Fetching up to 200 euros ($208) per kilogram (2.2 pounds) during the holiday season, the gooseneck barnacle from the Galicia region has long been treasured by Spaniards for both its flavour and difficulty to harvest.

However, the rise in sea temperatures driven by climate change has severely affected barnacle habitats, as they thrive in icy waters. A recent study by the University of Vigo also linked changing wave patterns to lower quality in the shellfish.

Israel Martinez, an auctioneer in the A Coruna fish market, said that there used to be double or triple the number of barnacles just 10 years ago.

One thing missing is how much the sea temperature has risen. Weird, eh? I wonder if it is any different from those previous Holocene war periods? Or, if they are over-harvesting? Meh, doesn’t matter to a cult.

How Does Climate Change Affect Christmas?

Christmas, a time of joy and tradition, is increasingly reshaped by climate change. From snowy celebrations in colder regions to tropical festivities in warmer climates, extreme weather and rising temperatures are altering how people celebrate the holiday across the globe.

Fewer White Christmases
In traditionally snowy regions, the dream of a white Christmas is fading. Warmer winters mean less snow and ice, making it harder for families to enjoy iconic activities like skating on frozen lakes.

Blah blah blah, cult.

USA Today TDS: Santa Is Nicer Than That “Other Guy” In The Red Hat

I wonder if the media has any clue that they are loathed, that they are not trusted, and that their TDS actually worked against them? Did any editor at the USA Today consider that Rex Huppke needs some therapy?

Yes, I believe in Santa Claus. He’s more kind than the other guy with a red hat. | Opinion

I believe in Santa Claus.

I make that declaration every year before Christmas, and every year, without fail, I’m mocked (mainly by family members) or labeled “cheesy” by online scolds and various other doubters.

That hasn’t stopped me before, and it certainly won’t stop me this year. If ever Americans needed to believe in a totem of pure goodness, it’s right now.

There’s another large-ish fellow who wears a red hat – kind of the anti-Santa, both in spirit and tone – getting loads of attention and promising us things many don’t want. But let’s dispatch with thoughts of that guy.

Instead, I’d like to ask the Santa doubters out there, young or old or in between, to consider the qualities of Claus – as a holiday spirit, as an idea and as a concept I argue is worthy of belief.

Is this one of those things where the screed writer cannot even type Trump’s name, like used to happen with Bush43? Trump is really living rent free.

To start, Santa represents kindness in its purest form. In the stories and shows and the tales parents tell their children, he is a character who cares about people and builds in kids a sense of hope and whimsy. Who teaches the value of goodness and the ills of being bad.

So, Trump is a big meanie. No mention of Biden commuting the sentences of 37 horrendous people on federal death row. Taking a nap for 3 hours while the families of the service members killed in the bad Afghanistan withdrawal sat around. I’m sure you can add a few things

Santa wouldn’t be denigrating migrants or turning them away

Santa also represents inclusion. He wouldn’t turn away people in need or demean people because of where they come from or who they are. He is for everyone who wants to believe, no questions asked

How about the hundreds of thousands who are criminals? Murderers, rapists, child abusers? Who light Americans on fire? Santa is known for giving coal to bad people.

He is the values we want our children to embrace, the values we grownups could likely use a refresher course on.

Would this like being exposing children to pornographic books designed to make them crazy? How about forcing women to deal with men who have mental illness in their safe spaces and on sports teams?

I believe in Santa Claus, and nobody’s going to persuade me otherwise

And, he’s believing in a way to let his Trump Derangement Syndrome loose.

Climate Cult Expert Explains Talking About Climate Doom At Christmas

How about “don’t”? But, hey, if a Warmist brings it up ask them how they traveled to the gathering

Is silence golden? What a change expert says about family climate conversations at Christmas time

Do you engage with climate deniers that come your way this Christmas? And if so, what’s the best way to do it?

Climate change. Like discussions about the monarchy or world leaders, it’s one of those topics that inevitably comes up at the Christmas dinner table or after a few jolly drinks, one way or another.

Uncle Jim might make an out-of-the-blue, uninformed comment about Greta Thunberg. Cousin Mary might start saying something about how renewable energy isn’t reliable. And that’s before Grandpa John starts waxing lyrical about how climate change is just weather, loudly declaring that ‘we’ve always had storms’.

Is it a case of biting your tongue or going on an impassioned monologue? Should you make the case for climate action? Or sit quietly in a corner and feel the dark cloud rise over your paper party hat?

Oh, please. Those of us not in a cult won’t bother with the conversation, unless we want to wind up our climate cult relatives

So Townsend knows a thing or two about when to get involved in a conversation about climate change this Christmas – and when to steer clear.

And, if you do decide to go ahead with your family climate lesson 101, she has some fantastic ways to navigate through any difficult questions and reactions. (snip)

“You absolutely are NOT required to speak up,” she says. “If your mental health, physical or financial safety or core support relationships would be damaged, then leave the space. Play with the kids or pets. WALK AWAY.”

Walkjobs. Anyhow, the article offers some tips and stuff, which is weird that the cultists do not seem to have the information to have an actual discussion without being provided talking points. It’s almost like they are parrots mimicking what they are told.

Murderous Firebug Was Illegal Already Deported In 2018 But Living Known In SCNY

We now know more about the insane killer

Fiend accused of burning woman to death on NYC subway is illegal migrant from Guatemala who sneaked into US after he was deported

The illegal Guatemalan migrant accused of setting a straphanger on fire and gawking as she burned to death was once deported — but sneaked back into the US and the Big Apple shelter system, sources told The Post.

The accused firebug, who has not yet been charged, first entered the US illegally at the Arizona border in 2018, but was nabbed just days later and shipped back home.

He later crossed the border again, dodging federal agents and finding his way north to the five boroughs — although it is unclear how long he was in the city before the horrific F train attack Sunday, the sources said.

What is clear is that by April 2023 he was staying at a Days Inn hotel on 36th Street which had been converted into a migrant shelter — the first of four tax-funded facilities in the city.

When he was issued a transit ticket in 2023, he gave an address of a shelter on Randall’s Island, the sources said.

So, he was known. He was living in SCNY aboveground. The city was giving him shelter and taxpayer funded support. And then he set a woman on fire and watched.

The NY Times has an interesting take in an update

The nightmarish attack seemed almost like a collage of social problems the city is facing: homelessness, random transit crime, illegal immigration, substance abuse.

Aren’t these all things the Times either endorses, ignores, and/or says are no problem?

Why did no one help her? Fatal subway burning exposes New York City’s sad disconnect to humanity

No one helped.

The bystanders were too busy filming. The cops? Well, instead of wrapping their jackets around a burning woman in an F train stopped at the Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue Station on Sunday morning, they walked by.

Surely, someone would have thrown their coat over her, ran to look for water, screamed at her to stop, drop and roll. Found a fire extinguisher. Yelled for help. Something. Most of us like to think we would have acted to save her life.

This is NYC to the extreme, where no one offers help. They’ll take videos and upload them. And, these days, no one wants to get involved even more after Alvin Bragg prosecuted Daniel Penny.
