Quick Summary

The article criticizes New York Attorney General Letitia James for her perceived lack of action in fighting Medicaid fraud and pursuing tax cheats, despite federal investigations and raids indicating significant issues. It highlights instances like the federal probe into over 100 adult day-care centers suspected of defrauding Medicaid and the case of Daniel Gordon, who owes $59 million in unpaid taxes but remains untouched by James's office. The piece argues that James prioritizes high-profile legal battles against figures like Donald Trump over addressing street crime and financial fraud, suggesting a disconnect between her rhetoric and actual efforts as attorney general.

🔮 But as long as James holds the AG’s office, the news will be full of crimes she hasn’t bothered to fight because she’s too busy chasing headlines.
🔮 Anti-Israel, anti-West lunacy is now mainstream in the Democratic Party, to the point where Schumer, who for decades proclaimed himself Israel’s protector in Congress, is willing to sell out the Jewish state to an unabashed Israel-hater so Dems can hold one Senate seat.
🔮 That grim milestone indicts Mayor Zohran Mamdani and his movement’s anti-public-safety policies — as he all but acknowledged Monday with a long, ugly silence before claiming to be “heartbroken” over the death of Darrel Rodriguez and vague noises about addressing gun violence.
🔮 Look: Yalta One was a meeting of allies — this new one would be Trump volunteering to be outnumbered by our determined foes.
🔮 Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s latest anti-ICE efforts come perilously close to outright obstruction of justice.
🔮 Leaders of that civilization who still insist on denial will either find themselves as former leaders, or “leading” a former civilization.
🔮 With Europe already looking to OK “a satellite manufacturing venture intended to challenge SpaceX,” this shows major “strategic myopia,” as “the White House could hardly have supplied a better argument for friendly governments to prioritize standing up competitors to U.S. firms.”
🔮 This last came clear at Wednesday’s debate, when Lawler cornered her by pointing out that sanctuary policies like those she has backed time and again will ensure more tragedies like the murder of upstater Sheridan Gorman — killed by a Venezuelan illegal in Chicago.
🔮 Democrats show no shame or regret over the OCC findings, making it plain that the extremists still call the shots — and will stay in the driver’s seat for the foreseeable future.
🔮 History will judge harshly an American administration that enables this horror.

Narrative

Oh, and burn state resources on high-profile, novel legal warfare against Donald Trump and his businesses — to the point that a whistleblower in her office says it’s been practically all she cared about. Forget the partisan point-scoring: New Yorkers deserve an attorney general who puts the public interest first — fighting fraud, tracking down tax fugitives and above all helping secure our streets.
