St Lucy with her eyeballs on a plate

Carroll Gardens is lousy with statues. One of the more famous one is of St Lucy with her eyeballs on the plate at the corner of my old block on Third Place. It is a memorial to Tuddi who was an old time resident who died many years ago.

What is interestting is you can see the bar in the background. Back in the day it used to be the Three Fours as the address is 444 Court St. Now it is a hipster bar called Abeline with a Western motif. It is run and patronized by hipsters. They had outside seating before the virus and the typical hipster drinker was a mom with a stroller and a dog attached getting their drink on in the middle of the day. The bar is always full of kids as these hipster parents don't want to lose out on their drinking so they bring their brats everywhere.

The other thing that is interesting is that the statue gets a lot of offerings. Not candles or cards or other tokens of respect. No cigarette butts  the the hipster scumbags toss on the floor. The owner of the building has to come clean it every day.

It is sick out there and getting sicker.

It is a sick world out there and it is getting sicker.

Fifth Grader Kneels in Protest of Pledge of Allegiance

By Katherine Rodriguez Breitbart News September 15, 2016

A Texas fifth grader has decided to kneel during the Pledge of Allegiance at her middle school in protest of the national anthem.

Skyla Madria, 10, said to KVUE that she is protesting “The Star Spangled Banner” by Francis Scott Key because he was a slave owner, and one of the verses in the song that people do not sing refers to slavery.

The verse reads, “No refuge could save the hireling and slave/From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave.”

“When I heard the third verse of the national anthem, I decided that’s not right and he shouldn’t have wrote that,” Madria said to KVUE.

Madria got her inspiration from football player Colin Kaepernick, who recently kneeled during the national anthem in protest.

Reason Number 395 why Trump should be President instead of Hillary or Bernie or Rent Boy.

Trump is not in the pockets of the special interest. Yeah I get it. He was his own special interest. He bribed and paid off politicians with campaign contributions. I mean they asked him how he got Hillary to come to his daughters wedding and he said "I paid her to come."

The excellent blogger Don Surber has a great post about this in his excellent blog. In it he qoutes Donald talking about an new boondoggle in the F-35 airplane that is not as good as our existing planes. Trump is quoted as follows:

"I do hear that it’s not very good. I’m hearing that our existing planes are better. And one of the pilots came out of the plane, one of the test pilots, and said this isn’t as good as what we already have. And to spend billions and billions of dollars on something that maybe isn’t as good …

They’re saying it doesn’t perform as well as our existing equipment, which is much less expensive. So when I hear that, immediately I say we have to do something, because you know, they’re spending billions. This is a plane, there’s never been anything like it in terms of cost. And how about, you know, we’re retooling with planes that aren’t as good as the ones we have, and the test pilots are amazing people. They know better than anybody, okay, and I think you would accept that."

The husband of a cop killed on 9/11 returned his wife’s posthumous Woman of the Year award to Glamour after the magazine gave the same honor last week to Caitlyn Jenner.

James Smith told The Post he yanked the award off the shelf in his Long Island home dedicated to his wife, Moira, and FedExed it back to the magazine.

A tow-fer for the Social Justice Warriors! I hope she shows up to carry them down a ladder.

A female FDNY recruit has graduated from the Fire Academy after her instructors fudged on her strength, agility and running requirements, insiders say.

Choeurlyne Doirin-Holder, 39, never achieved a passing score of 17 minutes and 50 seconds on the Functional Skills Test, a course of job-related tasks in full gear such as stretching hoses and dragging dummies, according to an FDNY source familiar with the training. She did not come in under 24 minutes in practice tests.

Doirin-Holder also failed to run the required 1.5 miles in 12 minutes or less — even after the running course was slashed by an estimated quarter-mile, the source said, alleging that the start and finish lines were moved to shorten the run.

She completed the abbreviated run in 12:06, the source said.

Under a recent loosening of rules ordered by FDNY Commissioner Daniel Nigro, probationary firefighters who fail the run can demonstrate adequate aerobic capacity on a Stair­Master machine — which she was allowed to do, the source said.

The FDNY has come ­under fire for its lack of ­female firefighters, who now number 49 — less than half of 1 percent of the 10,500-person force.

Doirin-Holder, a former city EMT, is one of 282 court-ordered “priority hires” who Brooklyn federal Judge Nicholas Garaufis ordered must get preference because of past discrimination against minorities.

It was her third attempt at passing the academy after taking the civil-service exam in 1999.

After dropping out of her second attempt in 2014 because of an injury, the FDNY gave the mom-of-two a desk job at full firefighter pay and benefits. She was paid $81,376 including overtime last year.

“I had to sacrifice a lot to get here, but it was worth it for my children to see me going after something I wanted and not letting limitations define me,” she told The Village Voice.

Three other female probies passed all the physical tests, the source said: Lisa Cusimano, 21; Sheliz ­Salcedo, 29; and Aleigha Powder, 32.

An FDNY spokesman had no comment on the tests beyond pointing out that Doirin-Holder “met all requirements for graduating from Probationary Firefighters School and was assigned to a firehouse.”

News the Media will not bring you: Convicted Criminal released early murders elderly woman to use her wedding rings to propose to his girlfriend.

FOX32 News.com November  6, 2015

CHICAGO (STMW) - A Cook County jury Thursday convicted a Carpentersville man of robbing and killing an elderly Bridgeport woman and then using her stolen wedding and engagement rings to propose to his high school sweetheart.

“We think it’s a little demented, creepy,” Virginia Perillo’s eldest son, John, said of how Raymond Harris bludgeoned her to death and then gave her jewelry to his girlfriend during a romantic moment. “Mr. Harris has no morals. . . . All he cares about is himself.”

He said there will always be “a gap” in his and his family’s life, but he was glad the trial was over, the Chicago Sun-Times is reporting.

Mark Perillo, who will turn 39 on Friday, called the guilty verdicts an “early birthday” present.

The jury took roughly three hours to convict Harris, 40, of murder and robbery.

Harris was arrested a month after a neighbor found Virginia Perillo facedown in a pool of blood next to a running car in her garage on Oct. 11, 2011.

The night the 73-year-old nurse was killed, Harris, a parolee, went to a party in new clothes and asked his friend which of the stolen rings he should use to propose, authorities said at the time.

Five days later, Harris popped the question to his love, Lorraine Reed.

Reed testified earlier this week that she said “Yes.”

Reed later turned the rings over to Chicago Police detectives who arrived at her home and questioned her about Harris.

“I took the rings off my fingers” and gave them to detectives, Reed said.

Harris’ DNA was found on a bloody watch that he left inside a car in Virginia Perillo’s garage in the 3300 block of South Parnell. Harris also took Virginia Perillo’s purse during the deadly beating.

Hours before she was killed in the brutal assault, she spent the day attending church, buying groceries and visiting an area hospital to check on her husband, who had suffered a stroke, her family said.

Her husband couldn’t attend this week’s trial because of his failing health. Had she still been alive, Virginia Perillo would probably be spending time taking care of him, the couple’s youngest son, Michael, said Thursday.

Harris was paroled in May 2011 after serving 13 years of a 30-year sentence for his 1997 attempted murder and aggravated arson convictions.

Just three weeks before that attack, Harris had been released from prison for a 1993 armed robbery, vehicular invasion and burglary. In that case, Harris brandished a gun at a woman leaving her car outside her home.

(Rant: This savage murdered an elderly woman coming home from church because he wanted her stuff. This is exactly the kind of guy that Obama and Hillary want to get out of prison. He is exactly the kind of guy who Obama would prohibit from asking about his record when giving him a job or renting him an apartment. He is exactly the kind of guy he wants to move to your neighborhood under the "disparate impact theory" so he can scope out your grandmother to murder and rob. This is exactly the kind of story that the mainstream media will not report or have as a one day wonder. When you vote for Hillary you are voting for this guy to move next door to you. Remember that when you tell me you can't vote for a guy who pulled himself out of poverty in Detroit because he mislabeled something that happened thirty years ago as a scholarship.)

Christian Daycare Workers fired for not calling a girl a boy!

Briebart News November 7,2015 by Lana Shadwick

HOUSTON, Texas — Two daycare workers have been fired for refusing to go along with the center’s transgender agenda. Madeline Kirksey, one of the workers who is an author of a Christian book, says her religious liberty rights have been violated. The two were fired after refusing to call a little girl a boy.

The two male parents of a six-year-old little girl told employees at the school to refer to their daughter as a boy, and to call her by a new masculine name. The little girl’s hair had also been cut like a boy’s.

Kirksey told Breitbart Texas in an interview, that the problem was not so much with the transgender issue as it was with telling young children that the little girl was a boy when she was not, and with calling her “John” (not the name given) when that was not her name.

She, and another worker who does not want to be identified, were fired from theChildrens’ Lighthouse Learning Center in Katy, Texas, a city just west of Houston.

The school distributed guidelines to the teachers called “How to Handle Transgender Students.” The printed guidelines were obtained from the internet and can be read at thislink.

The guidelines and the instructions given the teachers included six rules, one of which was “Help defend their dignity.” Another, was to “Educate yourself and your students.” The Christian worker said she did not believe it “was our job,” to thrust the issue on the small children of other parents. She said the school should not force their beliefs on the children, or on her, or upon other parents.

The author of the Christian book, “In Pursuit of the Promise,” said the other children should not be exposed at such an early age to the issue of transgender or “gender identity,” and felt that the two male parents were imposing the issue on their little girl.

“I don’t think we should be talking to other people’s children who are under the age of 18 about being transgender,” Kirksey said in an interview with Fox26 in Houston. Both of the fired workers agreed on this point.

Kirksey said that prior to this happening, she had been commended for the good work that she was doing at the school. After she refused to call the little girl by her new masculine name, and to tell the other children to do so, and to say that the little girl was a little boy, the daycare worker was written-up for alleged infractions that she did not believe were based in reality. She has worked at the school for over a year.

The fired worker notified Child Protective Services that the little girl was being told that she is now a little boy. She believes that it is up to professionals to determine if the little girl is just confused, or if the new gender is being forced upon the little girl.

Kirksey says sometimes the little girl refers to herself as a little boy, and sometimes she tells the other children to not call her a boy or to refer to her by her masculine name.

The Childrens’ Lighthouse in Katy is just one of the school franchise’s that are all over the country. The company is based in Fort Worth and according to its website, there are 37 learning centers in seven states. The school cares for children ages six weeks to twelve years old.

The City of Houston just received national attention for an election that submitted a city ordinance to the voters. The measure, defeated by a margin of 61-39 percent, would have allowed transgendered men, or men who “identify” with being a woman, to use women’s bathrooms, locker room, and shower facilities. Houston’s openly gay mayor said that passing the ordinance is something that is very “personal” to her. As reported by Breitbart Texas, pastors who worked to defeat the ordinance say the measure is part of a leftist national agenda.
