OPEN THREAD: Tuesday’s groovy.

DIDN’T EARN IT: Woman who emptied Knicks trashcan on street— then stole it — fired from JPMorgan Chase, was DEI exec.

A woman caught on video emptying a public trash can on the street then stealing it during New York City’s Knicks championship parade was a director at JPMorgan Chase who was fired Tuesday over the incident, The Post has learned.

Angie Báez, 40, was promoted to Executive Director of Community and Industry Engagement for Card and Connected Commerce at JPMorgan Chase more than a year ago, according to her LinkedIn profile.

She previously served as Executive Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at New York-based review website The Infatuation, which Chase acquired as part of its broader push into lifestyle and experiential content.

SOMEBODY SET UP US THE BOMB: Report: Female cop shoots Jewish rabbi outside Pornhub office in Canada while hiding from Marxist gunman who killed immigrant officer named Mohamed.

The shooter, an Alberta man named Seth Hatfield, reportedly fired into the Aylo building from his hotel across the street, as confirmed by La Presse.

He then made his way down onto the street where he appeared to ignore civilians but engaged officers in a firefight right outside the Aylo building.

These are a few quotes from the Hatfield’s manifesto, as obtained by Rebel News:

The influence of Zionist Jews upon the western bourgeoisie is in fact so strong that in my other works I sometimes refer to the western ruling class itself as the Judaeo-bourgeois class

…

The visiting of pornographic websites contributes greatly to bourgeois wealth, and the industry as a whole is one of our most repulsive and malignant enemies.

On page 86 of his manifesto (these psychos are always long-winded), he specifically lists viable targets for political violence.

These include equity firms, brokerages, elite bankers, politicians (both liberal and conservative), CEOs of energy companies, “alpha male swindlers” like Andrew Tate, those facilitating mass migration, plastic surgeons, and, you guessed it, “the headquarters of international pornography companies.”

He also talks about the “filthy facets of the capitalist economy,” the “liquidation” of the elite “Class A” through violent revolution, and striking fear into the “western bourgeois class.”

(If this doesn’t sound like a conservative Christian perspective, then you’d be right.)

Indeed. As Noah Rothman writes: This Is What ‘Revolutionary Terror’ Looks Like.

The attacker seems to have been consumed with resentment toward women. But it was the revolutionary Marxist ethic and the vestigial Soviet-style attacks on the perfidy of the Zionist enterprise that provided this killer with a psychological permission structure for murderous violence. He also seems to have assumed that there was an audience for this sort of thing. And, given the recent outbreak of left-wing political violence (which I chronicle in my latest book), apparently there is.

Montreal police have warned that the attack could inspire copycats. But if police are on the lookout for killers inspired by “incel ideology,” and not radical Marxist revolutionary dogma, they will only contribute to what is clearly emerging as a threat to domestic security throughout the West.

And for the media, it’s no enemies to the left:

WHAT IF VIOLATING FOIA MEANT JAIL TIME? The landmark Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) became law on July 4, 1966, and in the six decades since, not one federal employee has ever gone to jail for violating the statute. Maybe that has something to do with the routine way the FOIA is ignored, abused and outright trashed by federal workers. I don’t know, I’m from out of town and all, but maybe it’s time to amend the law to make jail the consequence of serious infractions?

DEMS BACK TO FUTURE CIRCA 1911: They just think they’re peddling something new. Actually, as Issues & Insights points out, we’ve seen this act before and it was short-lived, for very good reasons.
