Political Parody As a Weapon Part LXXX-It ain’t Bragg if you can do it.

Political Parody As a Weapon Part LXXX; It ain’t Bragg if you can do it.

Last week, in Part LXXIX, we took a trip down Memory Lane to visit the train wreck at the regional bank. This week, we return to the present crises and turn our attention to a tireless defender of law and order.

Over the previous weekend, the 45^th President announced that he expected to be indicted on Tuesday March 21 by New York’s District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who had empaneled a grand jury to investigate payments to Stormy Daniels in 2016, during Donald Trump’s first campaign for the presidency. Convicted perjurer Michael Cohen, in his role as a fixer for the Trump organization, has admitted to taking out a home equity loan to pay the porn star around $130,000 in consideration for her entering into a non-disclosure agreement regarding her allegations of having participated in a sexual encounter with Donald Trump a decade previously. In previous litigation, he has presented testimony and documentation that the Trump campaign and his companies were not involved, but the convicted liar has since provided and may continue to be providing conflicting testimony.

Despite the hazards of basing a prosecution on the words of such a compromised witness, Bragg has returned his focus to the case after initially dismissing it as not valid early in his tenure in office. The case had reportedly previously been discarded by the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York as insufficient to establish a violation of federal election campaign finance laws, and the statute of limitations for prosecution of any criminal transaction at that time has long since passed.

These flaws have not apparently inhibited the Manhattan District Attorney in his pursuit of former New York City resident Trump, who like nearly half a million of his fellow New Yorkers, has left the city for safer locations elsewhere in the US. Though New York City homicide rates peaked in the 20^th century prior to his term in office beginning in 2022, Bragg’s first year in office showed a 22% increase in crimes against New Yorkers. This is believed in no small part to be a reflection of the prosecutorial policies Bragg instituted upon assuming office. The Washington Examiner noted:

“A memo he sent to prosecutors in his office immediately upon taking office last January generated so much outrage that he walked back some of his statements within weeks.The “day one memo” outlined a list of crimes the DA’s office would no longer prosecute, including marijuana offenses, subway fare evasion, resisting arrest, and trespassing. The memo also pushed prosecutors under Bragg to pursue shorter prison sentences wherever possible, let more people out of jail while awaiting trial, and cut down significantly the number of juveniles tried in adult court.”

The article went on to note some of the political ramifications of Bragg (whose campaign was supported by $1,000,000 in Soros funding) and his policies in the 2022 congressional midterms and New York State elections:

“His soft-on-crime approach put him at odds with Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY), who ran for reelection in New York last year against the backdrop of rising crime and increasing fears in New York City. Hochul suggested she was open to removing Bragg from office if he did not reverse some of his day one memo policies last year, although her opponent, former GOP Rep. Lee Zeldin, hammered her throughout the race for not going far enough in her criticism of Bragg. ’This would be the first thing I would do, day one, as governor come January, is to fire the Manhattan district attorney,’ Zeldin said last year.”

Instead of turning the attention of his office to find ways to reduce the increasing volume of New Yorkers becoming crime victims in Manhattan, Bragg has instead used its considerable power to ensure that the unjust enrichment of an adult film actress Stephanie Clifford be thoroughly and properly documented and recorded.

While many in the leftist mainstream press have been salivating over the prospect of seeing Donald Trump being booked, more thoughtful liberals have been more circumspect. Closer to home, New Yorkers have more evidence that Bragg is not a democrat hero, but a partisan hack waging an illicit political battle at the expense of his duty to protect New Yorkers.

A man who actually was a hero to all Americans 78 years ago was Ira Hayes, the Pima Indian who served in the Marine Corps during the Second World War, and participated in the iconic flag raising on Mount Suribachi during the battle of Iwo Jima. Peace time was even crueler to Hayes than war time, and his tragic postwar personal story is touched upon briefly in “Flags of Our Fathers”(where he was portrayed by Adam Beach), and the subject of “The Outsider” (where he was played by Tony Curtis). There was also a grievance-laden song tribute entitled “The Ballad of Ira Hayes” penned by Pete La Farge that was recorded and performed by country music icon Johnny Cash. The rhythm and meter of the song lend themselves well to parody the New York DA and his uphill struggle to plant the flag of the left’s weaponized government atop a political opponent, as his city’s residents and visitors are slaughtered on the sands below.

 

Alvin Bragg
Alvin Bragg
Power drunken Alvin Bragg
He went chasing after Trump
And ignored the New York victims
Saw the violent crime rate jump

Gather ’round me people
There’s a story I would tell
‘Bout a District Attorney
Who helped make his city hell
Once he worked for Spitzer
And the Schneiderman disgrace
Who then decided that Donald Trump
Was who he had to chase

Became Manhattan District Attorney
Replaced Young Cyrus Vance
Then his first day in office
He took a pro-crime stance
Now, New York folks were tired
Of DeBlasio’s defunded strife
When Bragg came, he wrote a memo
To ignore the quality of life

Power drunken Alvin Bragg
He went chasing after Trump
And ignored the New York victims
Saw the violent crime rate jump

New Yorkers now could resist arrest
And all get stoned on weed
And if they somehow got locked up
In hours they’d be freed
And if somehow his office
Would one day charge a crime
Whoever got convicted
Wouldn’t serve much time

Power drunken Alvin Bragg
He went chasing after Trump
And ignored the New York victims
Saw the violent crime rate jump

Alvin Bragg soon had to back track
For the crime that he inspired
Lee Zeldin ran for governor
Promising day one he’d be fired
But he dodged a New York bullet
When Hochul won the race
So Alvin Bragg went back to work
On the Stormy Daniels case

Power drunken Alvin Bragg
He went chasing after Trump
And ignored the New York victims
Saw the violent crime rate jump

Then Alvin broke out Cohen
Who’s been convicted for his lies
Ignored statutes of limitation
With contempt he can’t disguise
He empaneled a grand jury
And set up for his fight
With the head of the opposition party
That he wanted to indict

Power drunken Alvin Bragg
He went chasing after Trump
And ignored the New York victims
Saw the violent crime rate jump

Yeah, power drunken Alvin Bragg
As his city is on fire
Sut somehow it’s Donald Trump
That draws the D A ‘s ire
