Two teenage girls visiting from South America were attacked and stabbed while having lunch in the dining concourse of Grand Central Terminal
This animal had a long record so should have been kept in jail. It is Leftist leniency towards criminals that is responsible for this attack. Fortunately, the victims lived
Two teenage girls on vacation from South America have been stabbed while eating at Grand Central Terminal's dining concourse by a suspect saying 'I want all the white people dead.'
The girls, aged 14 and 16, were touring the city with their parents when they were suddenly attacked.
The stabbing happened around 11:25am on Christmas when the family had stopped for an early lunch.
The suspect, identified as 36-year-old Steven Hutcherson of the Bronx, allegedly told the girls, 'I want all the white people dead.'
Hutcherson is believed to have gotten into an argument with staff at Tartinery who told him he could not sit in the restaurant's seating area. That argument led to the attack on the innocent girls.
When Hutcherson complained that the two victims were being allowed to sit in the restaurant, he allegedly pulled out a knife and stabbed them both.
Hutcherson was arrested in under a minute as MTA police swooped in from their nearby posts.
One of the girls was stabbed in the thigh while the other was stabbed in the back, nicking her lung.
Both victims were taken to Bellevue Hospital.
Hutcherson has an extensive criminal record and has been charged with attempted murder, assault, criminal possession of a weapon and endangering the welfare of a child.
He is known as an emotionally disturbed person with an arrest record by both the MTA police and NYPD.
In his most recent brush with the law, Hutcherson was arrested twice in the last six months for intimidating people while brandishing a gun in the Bronx.
He pleaded guilty to both his weapons possession arrests from November 7 and July 24.
For his July office he was given a 15-day jail sentence, while for November he was given a conditional discharge together with a temporary restraining order against his victim.

Old Glory Bank May Be More Necessary by the Day
In a recent telephone interview and some subsequent emails with its Chief Strategy Officer Eric Ohlhausen, I learned more reasons people might want to open accounts at this bank that says they won’t let you be cancelled financially.
As they write on their website, “We stand for you. No matter where you stand.”
This seems particularly important on Dec. 18, the day the Federalist’s Sean Davis wrote on X that the administration is taking down the Reconciliation Memorial (that celebrates national unity post-Civil War) at Arlington Cemetery—yet another sign, as Mr. Davis puts it, “The modern American left has zero interest in reconciliation with anyone in this country who opposes their political agenda.”
So mind your money. They could be coming for it next in a variety of ways.
Which leads me back to the Old Glory Bank.
But before I get into the latest additions to their offerings, I have to be clear I immediately asked Mr. Ohlhausen about what many regard as the most perilous financial danger of all—the looming specter of digital currency under which the government could arguably monitor and control all our spending.
The answer, unfortunately, was they were unable to do anything about that—thus far, anyway. It would have been a big ask for any private party.
On the positive side, however, there is this to report.
Old Glory now has a “Cash-IN” program through which, using their mobile app, one can deposit cash up to $2,000 per day at any of 90,000 retail locations across the country (Walmart, CVS, Walgreens, Dollar General, and others).
Mr. Ohlhausen argued this makes them considerably more convenient than traditional banks. The top five branch banks in numbers—Chase, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, PNC, and US Bank—have fewer than 20,000 locations where cash can be deposited.
This should be particularly useful to those who earn significant portions of their income through tips, the gig economy, and so forth.
Regarding those big banks, there is much about which to be concerned. According to the New York Post (May 2019), JP Morgan Chase has been accused of purging the accounts of conservative activists Enrique Tarrio, Joe Biggs, Laura Loomer, and Martina Markota.
The same bank cancelled well known activist and filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza’s business credit card.
But it’s more than Chase. Citigroup and Bank of America have cut ties to the gun industry.
A yet bigger problem may be the vaunted PayPal that is nearly ubiquitous.
Three of its hugely successful entrepreneur founders—Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and David Sacks—have turned critical of the platform they helped invent, and for good reason.
According to Rupa Subramanya of the Free Press, PayPal has been cancelling such accounts as Freedom Phone, various COVID-19 and gender critics, including Gays against Groomers. I no longer use PayPal myself.
Old Glory Bank has come up with a solution, initiating their own system, Old Glory Pay. This is a closed-door loop, peer-to-peer payments platform for Old Glory Bank customers with no other financial institutions involved.
As the bank expands, and it is, nationally, this will become increasingly useful as no industries are excluded, as PayPal does with firearms manufacturers.
This system may end up the most important contribution of Old Glory Bank.
Mr. Ohlhausen reassured me his bank is doing the other normal things that banks do—make small business loans, have various checking and savings accounts, write mortgages and so forth.
Regarding the mortgages, I was told their rates were “competitive.”
No help there, alas.

Hallelujah! Congress is barely passing ANY new laws — and that’s a good thing
The DC-obsessed crew at Axios just flagged the current, 118th, Congress as the “most unproductive in modern history,” having only passed 20 bills this year (with four more on President Biden’s desk).
Weirdly, they treat that as a bad thing.
Sure, the country has plenty of problems, but “more bills” almost always means more trouble for the American public — a conveyer belt of pork-filled legislation that increases the ever-growing debt and hands more power to government bureaucrats.
Just look at the highly “productive,” Democratic-led 117th Congress (2021-3), which enacted an eye-popping 364 laws while enabling Joe Biden to spend more than any president in history.
The hilariously misnamed American Rescue Plan and Inflation Reduction Act set taxpayers back several trillion bucks, triggering inflation unseen in this country for decades, to splurge on progressive priorities including “green” subsidies that alone could cost an estimated $1.2 trillion — largely enriching connected insiders without getting America significantly closer to the carbon-free utopia of lefty dreams.
There’s a reason Democrats from Biden on down have stopped using the word “Bidenomics.”
Plus, of course, voters in late 2021 chose a (barely) Republican House and an (also barely) Democratic Senate, an excellent recipe for standoffs that makes passing any laws beyond difficult.
That the prez generally refuses to compromise with the GOP except when it lets him spend more only further gums up the works.
The job of Republicans in Congress is to rein in spending, taxes and all other federal overreach — and if they can’t, to at least slap Democrats’ hands when they try to reach deeper into Americans’ pocketbooks.
Passing the bare minimum of bills to keep the country chugging along (along with more bills that the Dem Senate rejects because they’d shrink spending) is a pretty fine record for Republicans who only control half of a single branch of the federal government.
We’d love another Reagan Revolution, but the last thing America needs right now is Washington-business-as-usual booming.
By comparison, gridlock is great. Least productive? Take it as a compliment.

‘Two-Parent Privilege’ author sounds off on concerning marriage trend’s harmful impact on children
One author is explaining why the ultimate privilege is being born into a two-parent household and why the decline in marriage should cause concern.
“This is something as an economic matter, not as a value-laden or moral proposition we should all be really concerned about,” Melissa Kearney stressed during her appearance on Fox News Thursday.
The “Two-Parent Privilege,” author and economist suggests that the decline of two-parent households is driving “class gaps in kids’ opportunities, experiences and household resources.“
“We have mounds of evidence and data and objective studies showing that kids who grow up with the benefit of two parents in their home, their homes are characterized by higher levels of resources,” Kearney told “America’s Newsroom.”
She went on to explain that “more parental supervision and more stability” yield better outcomes for children.
“This is why, from an inequality perspective, this matters so much, because the class and racial gaps in kids’ access really to having a stable, highly resourced two-parent home are driving a lot of these class and racial gaps in society,” the author said.
“If we don’t break this, we should not be surprised that we’re sort of cementing advantage and disadvantage across race and class groups in America.”
Kearney argued that the way to move forward is to “commit to strengthening families” so “more kids are set up on a path to reach their human capital potential.”
If given the opportunity to change this downward trend across the U.S., Kearney suggested an increase in public funding, research and throwing support behind a policy committed to helping families.
