"Big Tish" James indicted for serial mortgage fraud.
New York state Attorney General Letitia James was indicted Thursday by a federal grand jury in Virginia on charges of bank fraud and making false claims to a financial institution, according to the Department of Justice.
The indictment was handed up in the Eastern District of Virginia, where former FBI Director James Comey was indicted Sept. 25 on charges of lying to Congress and obstruction of justice
"No one is above the law. The charges as alleged in this case represent intentional, criminal acts and tremendous breaches of the public's trust," US Attorney Lindsey Halligan said in a statement. "The facts and the law in this case are clear, and we will continue following them to ensure that justice is served."

If convicted on both counts, James faces up to 60 years in prison and a fine of up to $2 million.
She bought the three-bedroom, one-bathroom home in August 2020 for roughly $137,000, most of which was financed with a $109,600 loan that prohibited it from being used as a rental investment property, prosecutors alleged.
That allowed her "to obtain favorable loan terms not available for investment properties," they noted in the five-page filing, that saved her "approximately $18,933 over the life of the loan."
When a Post reporter visited the Norfolk home in April, neighbors said they had never seen James at the property.
Meanwhile, James' tax forms designated it as a rental that recorded thousands of dollars in additional income.
Norfolk property records reviewed earlier this year by The Post show James later granted power of attorney to her niece Shamice Thompson-Hairston on Aug. 17, 2023, authorizing the purchase of the Virginia property -- for which they secured a $219,780 mortgage.
Thursday's indictment puts the timeline of the alleged bank fraud scheme from August 2020 to January 2024 "for the purpose of influencing the action of OVM Financial, a Fannie Mae-backed lender, upon an application for a loan."
The New York AG "represented and affirmed in uniform residential loan applications and related documents that the Peronne Property would be used as a secondary residence, when in truth and fact, as JAMES then knew, the property was intended and used as an investment property with no intended or actual personal occupancy or use by her," the indictment alleged.

Two men on trial in UK over alleged plot against Jewish community
This is the terrorist propaganda network Reuters, so you should know that when they say "two men," they mean two Muslims, and when they say "alleged plot against the Jewish community," they are in fact talking about a scheme to use assault rifles to stage a Paris 2015 style attack, killing "hundreds" of Jews.
Also, the Cultural Enrichment Agents have nothing to do with the Cultural Enrichment Agent who just rammed his car into a synagogue. Or, at least, they have never met.
They just all enjoy invading Western countries and murdering Christians and Jews. For some reason. Some kind of a coincidence, I gather.
Two men plotted an Islamic State-inspired attack on the Jewish community in northwest England with the aim of "killing hundreds of innocent people", British prosecutors said on Wednesday at the start of their trial.
Walid Saadaoui, 38, and Amar Hussein, 52, are charged with preparing terrorist acts, while Walid Saadaoui's brother Bilel Saadaoui, 36, is charged with failing to disclose information about acts of terrorism.
All three have pleaded not guilty and are on trial at Preston Crown Court. Judge Mark Wall told jurors that the case had nothing to do with last week's deadly attack on a synagogue in Manchester and the timing of the trial was coincidental.
Yup, just a pure coincidence.
Except this is not a coincidence. This is Enemy Action. We blew right through "the third time" sometime in the early 70s.
Prosecutors say Walid Saadaoui and Hussein had "embraced the views of the so-called Islamic State ... (and) were prepared to risk their own lives" in order to become martyrs.
They make 'em sound like propeh 'eroes, don't they?
Walid Saadaoui had arranged for two assault rifles, an automatic pistol and ammunition to be smuggled into Britain, with a further three weapons and more ammunition to be delivered, when he was arrested in May 2024, prosecutor Harpreet Sandhu said.
Sandhu said the assault rifles were similar to those used in a 2015 attack in Paris which killed 130 people, and were "capable of causing untold harm".
"Untold harm was precisely what Walid Saadaoui had planned to cause, together with the defendant Amar Hussein," Sandhu said, before he was interrupted by Hussein shouting from the dock: "How many babies?"
Sandhu said that Walid Saadaoui and Hussein's plan was to "identify a mass gathering of Jewish people whom they could attack", with a third man they thought was called "Farouk".
"In addition, they intended to kill any law enforcement or police officers who got in their way," Sandhu said.
The vicious communists of the Canadian government are going to murder 30 of the most beautiful animals in the world -- beluga whales -- because of their ideology. They can't afford to keep the belugas. China has offered to take them for use in a Sea-World type exhibit, and Canadians are so drunk on Marxist ideology they've decided that murdering these lovely creatures is preferable to having them swim around to applause from humans.
A shuttered Canadian amusement park said that without an infusion of cash it will have to euthanize 30 beluga whales after a government official blocked it from sending the marine mammals to a Chinese theme park.
Marineland, the aquatic theme park located in Niagara Falls, Ontario, laid out the dire situation in a letter Friday to Canadian Fisheries Minister Joanne Thompson, The New York Times reported.
Thompson announced days earlier that she denied Marineland's request to export the belugas to Chimelong Ocean Kingdom theme park in China because it "would have meant a continued life in captivity and a return to public entertainment."
She further said that she was following requirements of the Fisheries Act meant to prevent the exploitation of marine mammals.
"Like many of you, I am angered that these whales have lived a life of captivity and as a result their health has deteriorated," Thompson said. "As Canadians, we know that whales belong in the ocean, not in tanks for our amusement."
You despicable cunt. So you're going to fucking murder highly intelligent creatures?
Thompson told CBC News that she had visited the closed Marineland facility and concluded the whales belong in the ocean after she "looked the belugas in the eyes."
At least she has The Science (TM) on her side, huh?
Belugas, in the wild, enjoy playing with humans.
Belugas, again in the wild, seek out humans to play with them and get pets. And if you drop your phone while you're filming them, they'll swim to the bottom of the sea to recover it and give it back to you.
THESE ANIMALS DO NOT DISLIKE HUMANS.
And for that sin: They must be massacred.
Marineland's business model struggled after a federal law passed in 2019 that banned keeping whales, dolphins and porpoises for breeding or amusement, according to the CBC.
The theme park said there is no suitable ocean "sanctuary" or facility for the whales. Meanwhile, Marineland said its financial situation continues to crumble, leaving it unable to meet the whales' costly care.
Of course they didn't bother to write in a grandfather clause so that belugas or dolphins already in captivity could be kept alive until their natural deaths, because these vicious psychopaths are nothing but ideology, rage, coercion, and murder.
Sure we'll kill the animals we claim to want to protect, but the important thing -- the only important thing -- is that weaklings and sub-morons get to dominate and bully other people so that they can feel powerful.
So much Cultural Enrichment happening in NYC's subways/Murder Dungeons that I can't even keep up.
A deranged crook with a mile-long rap sheet allegedly confessed to savagely beating a stranger to death outside a Brooklyn subway station -- coldly telling cops he didn't like the way the victim "looked at him," sources revealed Wednesday.
David Mazariegos, 25, was charged with murder in the senseless Tuesday afternoon assault near the Jay Street-MetroTech Station, law enforcement sources said.
The creep flashed a sinister, partially toothless grin Wednesday as he was carted out of a Manhattan courthouse, where he was first arraigned on charges from a past case and his dramatic arrest with a samurai sword in Times Square hours after the brutal slaying.
"Why'd you take my planet?" Mazariegos raved outside the courtroom when asked why he killed the man.
Sources said the sicko allegedly copped to attacking 64-year-old Nicola Tanzi in downtown Brooklyn because the hapless man held a subway gate door open for him -- an act of kindness that the hotheaded hoodlum told cops he disliked.
A shockingly brutal attack followed, with the assailant repeatedly pummeling the victim's face and stomping on his head up to 15 times, sources said.
The assault lasted 10 minutes before the sadistic attacker took Tanzi's wallet and ID -- which delayed his identification by police -- and left him battered and unconscious near Lawrence and Willoughby streets, according to sources.
The brutalized man died roughly an hour later in New York-Presbyterian Hospital Brooklyn Methodist.
Tanzi, who had lived in Brooklyn for over 20 years, worked in security and planned to retire next year, his pals the The Post.
"We lost a good friend. He was a really good guy," said Carmina Racaro, owner of a flower shop near Tanzi's Bensonhurst apartment. "He would come here for espresso, ask 'How are you?' He was happy."
Racaro said Tanzi originally hailed from Bari, Italy, and was a regular church usher during the Italian-language church services at the Catholic St. Dominic parish. He also belonged to an Italian club in Carroll Gardens, friends stated.
Tanzi's alleged attacker, of the Bronx, has at least 33 past arrests, including both sealed and unsealed cases, and is listed on the city's transit recidivist database, sources said.

Typical Democratic Voter Inadvertently Explains the Great Mystery of Our Time
Did you ever wonder how the Democratic Party got so crazy? For example, how is it that the governor of Illinois is inciting violent mobs against federal immigration authorities and meanwhile, in Virginia, every Democrat is rallying to the defense of Attorney General candidate Jay Jones, who openly fantasized about murdering political opponents?
To summarize briefly: Bad causes attract bad people.
To understand the symbiotic relationship between toxic political movements and their toxic supporters, my advice is to first read Eric Hoffer's 1951 classic, The True Believer, especially Part 2: "The Potential Converts." Next, you should read Friedrich Hayek's The Road to Serfdom, focusing on Chapter 10, "Why the Worst Get on Top." Among the personal experiences that led me to comprehend this phenomenon was being swarmed by a mob of "Occupy" protesters in 2011. If you ever had the misfortune to be in close proximity to a zombie horde like that, you would never doubt that the fundamental problem of the Democratic Party is that its grassroots "base" is composed of dangerous lunatics.
If you ever needed a reason to vote Republican, this is it: Democrats are the party of people who celebrate terrorist massacres of innocent Jews.
All of which is preamble to introducing you to the person calling herself "Cloud," who describes herself as "Pisces / 26 / ATL / Immortal Angel Femboy / Cosplayer" on an Instagram account with approximately 8,000 followers. If ever anyone needed a Kiwi Farms LOLCow file . . .
This summer, "Cloud" went viral with a video denouncing Taylor Swift's engagement to "MAGA-adjacent" Travis Kelce:
"I can already feel myself regretting making this video. If ten people are sitting at a table, and one of them is a Nazi, and the other nine people are not telling the Nazi to fuck off, then you're at a table with ten Nazis. When Taylor Swift first started dating Travis Kelce and Travis Kelce was so open about his 'respect' for Donald Trump, I already knew we were reaching the beginning of the end, right? When she was posting photos with, like, other NFL wives and girlfriends or whatever, and they were all open MAGAs, and Taylor was happily posing with them on Instagram, I knew we were at the beginning of the end. I just didn't know how long it would take for the general populace to catch on that it was the beginning of the end. You cannot be friends with people who have different opinions on you when those opinions are life and death for other people -- when the Supreme Court ruling today has decided that certain people's lives are genuinely worth more on paper than others. This is a black-and-white issue. I'm sorry, but there is no nuance when it comes to Trump. You're either chill with the guy who has death camps in El Salvador or you're not. And the only reason I'm making this video is because I've been very open about how much I love Taylor Swift during the last few years. So I do feel obligated to come on here and say she is MAGA -- or at least, MAGA-adjacent. And I'm sorry, as a trans person, if you're Nazi-adjacent, that's still a Nazi to me. Do with that info whatever you will."
Oh this pyrsyn is trans? I would never have guessed.
...
Violence is the logical conclusion of a syllogism built on such premises, and good luck trying to convince Democratic voters that their belief system is based on dubious premises and fallacies. Having convinced themselves that they are "on the right side of history," they consider it a hate crime to disagree with them. This fanaticism attracts bad people to the Democratic Party banner, and the bad people expect their party to represent their beliefs, which is why the Democrats are so crazy.
You know how sometimes Republicans, particularly of the Boomer/Bush variety, say that "We think lefties are wrong, whereas lefties think we are evil" with a smug grin like they're some kind of moral paragons?
Do you still subscribe to that? Not me. I think they're evil and I wish nothing but ill on them and I want nothing to do with them. No, I won't disown family members or friends they way they do. I'll make exceptions. Some friends may cheat on their wives or do drugs or behave in ways I don't like, and I'll make allowances, because they're friends or family members.
But strangers? No, I want nothing to do with them. I do not want to share a country with them.
They are evil, and it is repugnant and counter-productive to pretend otherwise. They are mentally-ill, stupid, destructive vermin who are destroying the last little bit of our civilization that still functions.

IN NEW YORK, A BIGOTED MAN ON CAMPUS
August 11, 1991
By JONATHAN YARDLEY
...
It first appeared in last Monday's New York Post: a report of a speech delivered by Leonard Jeffries Jr., a professor at the City College of New York and chairman of its African American studies department.
...
Apparently the speech was just about as long as an address by Fidel Castro -- two hours! -- and even loonier. Ostensibly speaking to the question of Afro-centric education, Jeffries launched into a tirade against whites generally and Jews specifically. He said that there has been "a conspiracy, planned and plotted and programmed out of Hollywood {by} people called Greenberg and Weisberg and Trigliani," and that "Russian Jewry had a particular control over the movies, and their financial partners, the Mafia, put together a financial system of destruction of black people."
That's not the half of it. Jeffries turned history upside down and informed his audience that "everyone knows rich Jews helped finance the slave trade." He also focused his attention on Diane Ravitch, formerly professor of teaching and education at Teachers College, Columbia, now assistant U.S. secretary of education. Ravitch, who is one of the most thoughtful, articulate and persuasive critics of "multiculturalism," was dismissed by Jeffries as "a sophisticated, debonair racist" and "a Texas Jew."
The "Very Fine Scholar" Leonard Jeffries posits, WITHOUT EVIDENCE, that brain cells are actually hidden inside of skin cells -- the melanin pigment in skin cells, to be specific.
And because blacks have more melanin than whites, well, that's why blacks are the intellectual superiors to whites.
All those brainy skin cells.
These are matters not of scholarship, of proof and disproof, but of fantasy and hatred, neither of which is in the least susceptible to rational inquiry or argument. Jeffries is a "very fine scholar" who in all seriousness believes that blacks are intellectually superior to whites because they have more melanin in their skin -- a form of racist claptrap similar in tone and spirit to the racial-superiority theories drummed up by the Ku Klux Klan and the White Citizens Council and other publicists for white supremacy. How can one expect a "scholar" in thrall to such hallucination to entertain disagreement, no matter how respectful or persuasive?
It's good to see that Hakeem Jeffries inherited all of Leonard Jeffries' very-smart skin cells.
