The single most radicalizing moment of my life was watching Democrats from the balcony of the State of the Union refuse to stand for Iryna Zarutska's mother, seated 15 feet away from me.
Now they're tearing down her murals.

Writing’s on the wall Dems’ callous rebuke of an Iryna Zarutska mural exposes their own twisted, backwards ‘values’
By: Miranda Devine, NY Post, April 2, 2026;
It’s fitting that the Iryna Zarutska mural in Providence, RI, is being removed on the say-so of the city’s lefty mayor before the artist could complete the murdered young woman’s face.
Her long blond hair is there, and the outline of her beautiful features, but her identity is being erased by political sadists who do not want Americans to remember the 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee who was stabbed to death on a light rail train in Charlotte, NC, by a deranged homeless man with a long and violent rap sheet.
Iryna fled a war zone, but it was more dangerous for her to ride public transport home from her job at a pizzeria in her work uniform at 9:45 p.m. on a Friday in a blue city.
ADVERTISEMENTProvidence Democrat Mayor Brett Smiley this week slammed the mural honoring her as “divisive and [it] does not represent Providence.”
His equally callous Democrat stablemate, Rhode Island state Rep. David Morales, opined to a local NBC reporter that the artwork honoring Iryna “does not reflect” the “values” of Providence.
What “values” might they be?
Values that excuse the cold-blooded slaughter of an innocent young woman because she is white and her killer is black?
Values that allow violent repeat felons to roam the streets freely in search of vulnerable prey?
Values that defund the police so we have no protection from psychopaths who might want to slit our throats or push us in front of a subway on a whim?
Values that demonize police and neuter their ability to beat crime in Democrat cities?
ADVERTISEMENTValues that protect illegal migrant killers, rapists, pedophiles and assorted gangbangers from being deported?
Values that place compassion for the violent predator above compassion for the victim?
Values that hold “we can’t arrest our way out” of crime, as the idiot Charlotte Democrat mayor Vi Lyles said last August in lieu of an apology after Iryna’s murder?
Values that want prisons to be abolished?
Values that ignore the wishes of every American who just wants their loved ones to be safe coming home from work?
Values that feign concern for women but conspire to hurt them?
Values that make us all less free in our own cities?
Those are the values that the ironically named Smiley and Morales believe in, because these are the values of the revolutionary left that has colonized their party.
They want social chaos and moral dysfunction because that frightens the citizenry and makes us all easier to manipulate.
Emotional expression
The murals that are being painted all over the country in honor of Iryna are part grassroots expression and partly a project of Elon Musk and another compassionate tech CEO, Eoghan McCabe.They felt the same horror and sadness any normal person did when they watched the surveillance footage of Iryna being attacked, slumping to the floor, and bleeding to death alone while fellow passengers watched.
They put their money where their hearts were so we would not forget Iryna, who symbolizes all the other innocent victims who are so inconvenient to the leftist project.
As thanks, their community service is demonized as “fascist” by the likes of Smiley and Morales and the Brooklyn lefties who deface the Iryna mural in their patch.
The Iryna murals in blue cities are regularly vandalized in some demonic expression of hatred for innocence.
By contrast, Democrats valorized the convicted violent felon and drug addict George Floyd as a saint with countless murals all over the country that are treated as reverently as shrines.
Blue city officials painted giant Black Lives Matter logos on roads to commemorate Floyd and the violent Antifa-driven riots that engulfed the country after his death.
The white cop convicted of Floyd’s second-degree murder, Derek Chauvin, was convicted to great acclaim and locked in jail for more than 22 years because, when it suits them politically, Democrats are very tough on crime.
When a black cop, Michael Byrd, shot dead an unarmed white woman, Iraq war veteran Ashli Babbitt, on January 6, 2021, during the Capitol riot, Democrats conspired to hide his identity, pay him secret bonuses, and ensure he suffered no consequences.
The Democrats who run Providence love Floyd and oppose immigration enforcement against the illegal alien criminals who roam freely in their sanctuary city.
Smiley has signed executive orders in 2025 and 2026 that ban Providence police from helping ICE. Morales called ICE a “rogue agency” that is “murdering” people and must be “abolished”.
In the last year, ICE has arrested multiple illegal alien perverts on child sex charges, with zero help from local authorities.
Those are the “values” Democrats like Smiley and Morales uphold.
Yet they still win elections.
Go figure.
