Newly elected Manhattan DA Bragg promises no prison time for any sentence except for murder and some violent felonies (plus white collar and government malfeasance). This is after trial and conviction.

Manhattan’s ‘progressive’ new DA Alvin Bragg just gave a green light for anarchy

Old: If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime.

New: If you can’t do the time, Alvin Bragg will be there for you.

That much just became clear, as the newly minted Manhattan DA issued marching orders to his hundreds of assistants and support staff.

“Let’s do our very best to keep people out of jail, kids. And let’s really, really not sweat the small stuff.”

OK, Bragg didn’t actually say that — but it pretty faithfully paraphrases the guts of a staff memo Bragg issued Monday, the first business day of his four-year term.

Specifically, Bragg says his office “will not seek a carceral sentence” for anything short of murder or deadly assault (“carceral” being progressive double-speak for prison). Also, he says minor crime won’t be prosecuted at all.

In other words, jail is to be reserved for ax-murderers and their ilk; armed robbers and heavyweight drug-dealers are to be minimally inconvenienced — and just forget about the quality-of-life law enforcement that was the beating heart of the Giuliani-era rescue of New York City decades ago.

Victims? Let ’em hunker down and hope for the best. No place for them in Manhattan any more.

Soros’ biggest coup yet

And Mayor Adams can just forget about his oft-promised crackdown on the city’s dangerously rising crime rates — because there is no point in picking up criminals if you have no place to put them down.

Off somewhere wearing a sardonic smile must be billionaire George Soros — the arch-anarchist who’s been lavishing big bucks on progressive district-attorney candidates for years now, and who kicked in a reported $1 million to Bragg’s campaign last year.

Soros-backed DAs reign in San Francisco — the smash-and-grab retail-robbery capital of America — and in Philadelphia, a city that posted more murders than New York last year despite having one-fifth Gotham’s population.

Now Soros has hit the jackpot. Bragg holds America’s foremost local law-enforcement office in terms of volume, influence and prestige. In other words, whatever it is that Soros has in mind, Bragg both owes him and is perfectly positioned to oblige him — and on the grandest stage in America. This is not a comforting thought.

Did ’80s teach us nothing?

At first glance, Bragg wouldn’t seem to be Soros’ type.

A former state and federal prosecutor, he was brought up in Harlem during the worst of the Dinkins-era crack violence; he is, in other words, a fellow who should know better.

Back then, crack turf-war-related bloodshed was endemic, and the casualties weren’t limited to dealers; mothers put their babies to bed in bathtubs to protect them from stray bullets coming through walls.

As bad as crime is today, it was far worse then — and no reasonable person would want a reprise. And yet here is Bragg, formally instructing his small army of subordinates to disregard all the lessons learned as New York rescued itself, in the process demonstrating that crime-paralyzed cities are not inevitable.

Many lessons were learned back then, but the most important was that holding criminals accountable for their actions — swiftly and unapologetically — is key to safe streets.

Turnstile-jumping isn’t mugging, and armed robbery isn’t murder, but each in its own way is an offense against public order that simply cannot be ignored if cities are to function.

And by the way, who is Bragg — or any DA — unilaterally to decide which laws are to be enforced and which are not? Prosecutors must be allowed discretion, of course, but they don’t get to rip out whole sections of the penal code based on personal notions of what’s just and what isn’t. On a whim.

Bragg’s staff memo reeks of ignorance, arrogance and contempt for the law-abiding. It also puts him in direct conflict with Eric Adams —who was a cop during the crack wars, who therefore knows what’s up, and who has promised to make crime a priority.

Adams probably didn’t expect Manhattan’s district attorney to be an obstacle to safe streets, but there you have it. He is.

Ball’s in your court, Mr. Mayor. Best of luck.

Jon Stewart was born Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz on November 28, 1962, in New York City, to Marian (née Laskin), a teacher and later educational consultant, and Donald Leibowitz, an energy coordinator for the New Jersey Department of the Treasury. Stewart's family members are Jewish immigrants to America from Poland, Ukraine, and Belarus. One of his grandfathers was born in Manzhouli (now part of Inner Mongolia). He is the second of four sons, with older brother Lawrence, and younger brothers Dan and Matthew.

Stewart's parents divorced when he was eleven years old, and Stewart was largely estranged from his father. Because of his strained relationship with his father, which in 2015 he described as "still 'complicated'", he dropped his surname and began using his middle name. Stewart stated, "There was a thought of using my mother's maiden name, but I thought that would be just too big a fuck you to my dad… Did I have some problems with my father? Yes. Yet people always view [changing my surname] through the prism of ethnic identity." He had his surname changed legally to Stewart in 2001. Stewart and his brother Lawrence, who was previously the chief operating officer of NYSE Euronext (parent company of the New York Stock Exchange), grew up in Lawrenceville, New Jersey, where they attended Lawrence High School. According to Stewart, he was subjected to anti-Semitic bullying as a child. He describes himself in high school as "very into Eugene Debs and a bit of a leftist."

Putin's spy rocket poised to catapult back to Earth after failing to reach full orbit

RUSSIA latest rocket launch in decades ended in failure after the massive rocket was only able to make it to low orbit, threatening to catapult back to Earth.

The new generation Angara A-5 heavy carrier rocket, which was Russia’s biggest launch since the fall of the Soviet Union, malfunctioned after the failure to make it to the necessary height. Although the rocket only contained a “mock-up” satellite, it was crucial to the Kremlin as a new military weapons delivery system.

Footage showed the spectacular unmanned launch from Plesetsk spaceport on Monday marking a new stage in Moscow’s space wars ambitions.

The Angara-5 rocket is meant to take advanced spy and weapons navigation satellites into orbit and may be used in moon missions.

It is the first heavy-lift launch vehicle used by the Russian space agency Roscosmos in decades.

The Angara and the Persei booster carried a mock satellite payload on this pioneering test flight and experts believe the Angara A-5 initial rocket launch worked but there was a failure with the later separation from the Persei booster.

It left the pretend satellite in low-Earth orbit and it is likely to crash down to Earth in weeks, according to Moscow newspaper Moskovsky Komsomolets.

The newspaper said that the Persei had to make five engine burns in the test mission, but it “malfunctioned” on the second.

As a result "the model satellite failed to reach its intended orbit 22,236 miles above sea level".

The paper said: “This failure can be considered the first… full-fledged launch accident at Roscosmos [the Russian space agency] in the past three years.
