Hate-crime complaints skyrocketed by nearly 100 percent in New York City last year—with reported anti-Asian attacks more than tripling, according to newly released NYPD data. Overall, hate-based complaints jumped from 275 incidents in 2020 to 538 last year, the figures show. The largest portion of complaints was for anti-Jewish crimes, which accounted for 38 percent of all reports, according to the data. Anti-Jewish complaints increased 54 percent year over year, from 134 incidents to 207, according to the numbers. But anti-Asian crimes saw the largest increase in actual incidents, going from 30 in 2020 to 133 last year, for a 343 percent spike.

New Jersey—Considered an engineering marvel of its time, the Transcontinental Railroad was a game changer, connecting the east and west in the back end of the 1800s. The contribution of roughly 20,000 Chinese immigrants proved to be vital in the railway’s completion, but as New Jersey 12-year-old Bryan Zhao discovered, it was widely ignored in his social studies classes growing up.
“It just felt very weird being excluded like we weren’t part of US history and that was completely wrong,” Zhao told PIX11 News.(Snip)Learning about the contributions of Asian Americans will now be part of the curriculum statewide after Governor Phil Murphy signed legislation this week

White House press secretary Jen Psaki doled out some advice during an appearance on The View Friday on how Americans can get over the voting rights bill failing in the U.S. Senate while also shedding some light on her future plans.(Snip)At the end of the interview, Behar also asked Psaki if she still planned to leave the job sometime this year. 'I don't know when I'm leaving. This is an honor and a privilege and I love working for President Obam-Biden,' she said, almost slipping up and saying her ex-boss' name. 'I love spending time with him, hearing what's on his mind. Going on the road

A woman was charged Thursday with hurling a racial slur at an Asian man on a Manhattan subway—telling him “You people brought the virus here” and then shoving him, cops said. Tandika Wright, 35, approached the 26-year-old victim at 6:15 p.m. Dec. 9 on a southbound F train approaching the 23rd Street station and snarled, “Hey, are you a c—k? You people brought the virus here. You people killed my people,” authorities said.(Snip)Cops say Wright was previously arrested on Dec. 11, 2014, and charged with second-degree murder, but she was ultimately convicted of attempted manslaughter in the first degree and served prison time

NYPD officers were heckled for arresting five organized anti-vax mandate protesters and detaining a nine year-old girl Wednesday after they barged into the Natural History Museum without showing proof of COVID vaccination. The arrests, which come amid soaring crime in the Big Apple, took place on Wednesday. Trouble began when a half-dozen purported members of the New York Freedom Rally—a group that has been staging anti-vax protests throughout the city—attempted to enter the Manhattan museum without showing their vaccine passports in violation of rules. Those require every visitor five years and older to show proof of vaccination. The nine year-old, named Jayla,

A new generation of liberal Democrats is entering the political arena with a rush of AOC-inspired young left-wing candidates looking to oust the party’s old guard this year. Justice Democrats, the political action committee that helped elect “The Squad”—the ultra-liberal group of six congressional House members led by New York’s Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez—is mobilizing around a new slate of candidates running primary challenges this year against several incumbent Democrats. The new faces are younger and more diverse, and back far-left policies like the Green New Deal and universal health care that have given pause to moderate members.(Snip)Justice Democrats is backing at least six

If a few billion dollars get carted off by bandits, or chewed into confetti by squirrels, or blown into the nearest river, after a brief chastened look, the Democrats always come back with: “Hey, we think we have a new solution: Spend more money again!” Their latest idea is to upchuck $1.9 trillion (not $2 trillion—they’re not crazy or anything) on yet another COVID relief package. They’ve already appropriated some $6 trillion in fighting COVID, though. That’s more than we spent fighting WWII, which cost about $4.1 trillion in inflation-adjusted dollars. Unlike in the ’40s, though, we’ve pretty clearly lost World War C.

The US has alleged that Russian intelligence is recruiting current and former Ukrainian government officials to take over the government in Kyiv and cooperate with a Russian occupying force.
The US Treasury on Thursday imposed sanctions on two Ukrainian members of parliament and two former officials it said were involved in the alleged conspiracy, which involved discrediting the current government of the president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy. “Russia has directed its intelligence services to recruit current and former Ukrainian government officials to prepare to take over the government of Ukraine and to control Ukraine’s critical infrastructure with an occupying Russian force,” the Treasury statement accompanying the sanctions said.

Netflix dashed hopes for a quick rebound after forecasting weak first-quarter subscriber growth on Thursday, sending shares sinking nearly 20 percent and wiping away most of its remaining pandemic-fueled gains from 2020, just a week after raising prices by up to $2 a month. The streaming platform projected it would add 2.5 million customers for the first quarter of 2022—January through March—less than half of the 5.9 million analysts had initially forecast.(Snip)The projection for the first quarter of 2022 is a steep drop-off from the fourth quarter of last year, with the world's largest streaming service adding 8.3 million customers from October

According to KrebsonSecurity, the IRS announced that by the summer of 2022, the only way to log into irs.gov will be through ID.me. Founded by former Army Rangers in 2010, the McLean-based company has evolved to providing online ID verification services which several states are using to help reduce unemployment and pandemic-assistance fraud. The company claims to have 64 million users. Some 27 states already use ID.me to screen for identity thieves applying for benefits in someone else’s name, and now the IRS is joining them. The service requires applicants to supply a great deal more information than typically requested for online verification schemes, such as scans

This is America, lady; learn the rules. Our government allows Africans to do whatever they want, and the rest of us just have to sit back and enjoy the show while taking all the blame and picking up their expenses, while also moderating our own behavior and thoughts in accordance to their whims.
