New York City democrats turn to Socialism
It finally happened. The once great city of New York, now an expensive place with high crime and traffic congestion is now facing the prospect of a Muslim, Socialist mayor. Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old Democratic Socialist who campaigned against New York’s affordability crisis, stunned the former governor Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary for New York City mayor. It wasn't a complete shock to those of us who expect New Yorkers to elect the most radical possible candidate.
Of course, others might say, it is only the primary. It is the democrat primary. That it all that counts in that shell of a city. This is the second time a young Socialist won a key election in NY. AOC won a congressional district when she toppled former Congressman Joe Crowley in the 2018 Democratic primary. Mamdani ran on freezing rents, offering free public transit, launching city-run grocery stores and similar Socialist ideas.
The good news is for Republicans both in New York state and the nation. New York state does have a number of competitive House seats where the GOP could seek to put Democratic nominees on the defensive over Mamdani’s positions. Nationwide Socialism is still toxic to traditional decent Americans.

There is some debate going on without much verification about how much the US strikes have set back the Iranian regime's nuclear program. Much of it is fostered by those who hate Trump. Meanwhile, Iran publicly admitted for the first time Wednesday that its nuclear sites were “badly damaged.”

Good morning and welcome to the news.
The Mercury has been rising for much of the country
Take a look at Raleigh NC. It looks like a very hot summer in our future.
while the rest of y'all are getting swamp butt, here .......
If I could I'd spend the rest of the month out there.
“The prospects are dim for a society that makes mascots out of the unproductive and condemns the productive.” — Walter E. Williams
Wait until the hurricanes hit, then those Florida folks suddenly love socialism to get their houses rebuilt.
I don't see where home-owners insurance equates to Socialism. Evidently you mean the government stepping in when Insurance companies refuse to offer insurance to people who want to live right on the water in a place like Key West. There are certain times when taking huge risks shouldn't involve other people's money.
Which is socialism...
This country has always been a bit socialist and it always will be... That's reality.
The idea that socialism is not "decent" is absurd, and I am not a socialist.
Socialism is a utopian idea of how society should be organized and function. Would you describe libertarianism as "indecent" and not "traditional"? They are both on the same spectrum, as all political philosophies are.
I didn't say anything about Socialism being decent or indecent. I did imply that decent people, who believe in respectable or moral behavior might be against a system that robs people of their creativity, desire for improvement and motivation to work.
BTW I'm still trying to figure out "got what I deserve." What was it I got?
To take your argument to its logical conclusion we could say that someone who wants to lay on a beach all day and never work is unmotivated, but they are hardly immoral.
Unmotivated is not the same as lazy. Someone who wants to lay on a beach all day and never work is lazy. That is a human weakness.
Personally I think that someone who exploits the work of others for personal gain is more "immoral" than someone who opts out of society altogether.
Who is more immoral to you, someone who wants to lay on the beach all day or a business owner that commits wage theft against his employees?
Adam Smith's hidden hand of self-interest. The motivation might be greed or self-improvement, the result of that tends to be JOB GROWTH AND THE BETTERMENT OF OTHERS AS WELL.
Who is more immoral to you, someone who wants to lay on the beach all day or a business owner that commits wage theft against his employees?
The lazy of course.
I'm not surprised you think being lazy is a greater sin than being a thief robbing the less fortunate.
Entrepreneurship is the creation or extraction of economic value. It involves dedication and risk.
Please describe how a successful person is robbing from the less fortunate? Their lazy ass isn't the fault of someone who is successful. worthless takers are worthless by choice.
First of all, it is not true that EVERY successful person is ROBBING from someone less fortunate. Nor is is true that everyone who is less fortunate is a "lazy ass".
That aside, are you aware of how exploitation works? Let's use Trump as a fine example. Trump is notorious for cheating his contractors. He would use them to build real estate and then claim that they did a poor job and thus reduce payment or refuse to pay entirely.
A supporting article:
There is little recourse when dealing with wealthy assholes. Deep pocket litigation pretty much takes the peaceful means to be properly compensated out of the equation. So are these smaller companies and workers who get stiffed "lazy asses" and "worthless takers"?
Do you know what wage theft is? It doesnt seem you do.
I didnt say that every successful person is robbing from someone less fortunate, I asked Vic what is immoral, a lazy person or a business owner who steals from his workers wages?
I was not referring to your comment but rather to George's interpretation:
That would describe people on public assistance and people in office who redistribute the fruits of that work. Are you sure you want to argue this?
Describe what you think "wage theft" is.
Voice of reason.
He does have that reputation.
Sadly, this isn't that uncommon. Many of my contractor clients say that they have certain customers for whom they have to build in an extra cost for the inevitable end of job cheating they know to expect. The customer feels like they got away with something and the contractor never expected to collect that last payment anyway.
In Texas, if it gets really bad, they can file a contractor's lien. I don't know what NY rules are.
Indeed.
Back in the late 80's Ford Motor Company had a policy of deferred payment to its supply chain. They got so good at holding back payments that they started degrading their supply chain (putting suppliers out of business).
The most natural order is for those with power to exploit those without.
It's interesting to hear people who sell to Walmart talk about that experience. The Walmart people are always trying to cut costs and prices, but they always try to make sure the suppliers maintain profit. Interesting contrast.
Smart business. Squeeze, but not so tight as to cause harm.
The best way for a company like Walmart to act is to focus on volume discounts. That is a win-win approach. Pretty sure that is how they operate. That is a good strategy for the long term.
But, that said, Walmart is well known to apply heavy price pressure on its suppliers knowing that suppliers will deal with it due to the massive exposure Walmart provides. As long as suppliers can make a profit, it makes sense to stick with that massive Walmart market exposure.
Yeah. Exactly. At least that's what I'm told. I've never sold anything in a WalMart, so I've just heard about it from friends and clients that do.
Apparently they get very hands on. If they're looking for a 5% price reduction, they will analyze your business and tell you where you can find it. Doesn't always go over very well, but as you say, the amount of business they provide enables them to do it.
The problem with all utopian ideas is that you have to force people to comply.
Our governments collects taxes in exchange for general services provided as part of a voluntary compact between the voters and our government based on laws made by our representatives. Tax policy is merely math. Both parties know a healthy middle class is where the votes come from. Extreme wealth inequality is not sustainable at current levels. The very rich and big corporations are going to have to pay more in NYC if voters say so .
Obviously.
Obviously not. It's been the primary tool for ideology implementation for decades.
The very rich have already demonstrated they can fuck off to Florida in a flash. They don't need NYC. The big corporations will just raise prices to include the new tax.
As of the 2023 report. NYC has 350,000 vacant units that are not available for rent. They only have 103,000 vacant and available for rent. The housing problem isn't that rents are too high, it's that rent isn't high enough to get landlords interested.
The inconvenient truth that socialists cannot admit is that their policies eventually cause Atlas to shrug.
I've lived in Dallas and NYC. You can keep Texas...
I guess you believe that's pertinent somehow.
The fact is that the votes are in and people are leaving NY by the tens of thousands every month, headed for places like FL, Texas, the Carolinas or a dozen other states. Nobody wants to imagine how bad things can get, but then we look at Detroit.
You've posted an uncited graph arguing a different point than I made.
Question of the day:
Is it a valid complaint?
"Over 1,500 Iranian nationals who illegally entered the U.S. at the southern border were arrested during the Biden administration, and nearly 50% of them were released back into the country, according to a senior U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) source."
Biden admin released 729 Iranian nationals amid terror concerns | Fox News
The other day Trump called the Iranians a great people. I posted a video yesterday of everyday life in Tehran, and it should open the eyes of any American who believes it is a backwards primitive place filled with nothing but anti-American haters.
The point being as far as you know 99% of these 729 people may have come to America to escape their regime at home, not to spread it.
Or, [✘] they are here as terrorists.
I separate the Iranians who have come to the US into two categories:
First there are those who fled Iran just before Carter allowed the Shah to be toppled. Those people saw what was happening. they came here and I believe most of them flourished under our system. Many went into business, raised families, assimilated and I truly believe became patriotic Americans.
The second group are what I would label as "the students." They were among the first to oppose the Shah and btw it ties in with our little discussion of Socialism. They wanted a "Utopia" similar to the European Socialist model. A bit different that the Islamic regime that eventually took power. They are not going to assimilate and become Americans.
There is a reason why I really hope this guy loses, and it's not because he's a Muslim.
If ANYONE on this site trusts anything that the Iranian government says, please send me a PN and I will benefit you with the deal of a lifetime - for only $1000 I will transfer to you a 1% share of the toll booth proceeds from the superhighway between Chengdu and Chongqing. When I get your PN I will send you the SWIFT bank transfer code for my bank account here.
Will it make the cornfield a "Field of Dreams"? I just watched the movie again yesterday - had not watched it for a really long time. It's a "good feeling" movie to watch again these days.
Thank you for that Buzz.
I hope ALL New Yorkers are paying attention.
Will it make the cornfield a "Field of Dreams"? I just watched the movie again yesterday - had not watched it for a really long time. It's a "good feeling" movie to watch again these days.
Perfect for these times?
It seems you are all in on believing Trump when it is convenient for you.
That's right, nobody is allowed to ever believe Trump.
You are allowed to stand on your head in the middle of a tornado if you want to. Why you would want to is the question.
Pathological liars lie all the time, that is what the word means.
The big ones have all come from his opponents.
Do you still believe Biden was mentally fit?
Do you still believe Trump colluded with Russia?
Do you still believe the Hunter Laptop was Russian disinformation?
You're criticizing me if Trump happens to believe some of the same things that I believe? Notwithstanding my age, I'm STILL able to think pretty clearly and it should be pretty obvious that I'm not stuck on one political side or another. As it happens Trump said the nuclear facilities are completely destroyed and I believe Iran preserved the enriched uranium by hiding it elsewhere and I don't know what else to believe about the equipment used to enrich it further and would not be surprised if they saved it too, and NOT because that's what they have said.
It should be obvious that when someone is a pathological liar, one should never believe what they say.
Instead, if you think they have stated the truth, the prudent thing to do is to verify this with credible sources.
It is a fundamental error to consider anything from Trump to be truthful and to trust his credibility without doing fact-checking.
Those are YOUR big ones.
I think Trump asking Russia to hack Hillary Clinton's personal computers was a big one. I think the 2016 meeting between the Trump campaign and a purported representative of the Russian government at Trump Tower was a big one. I think Trump blatantly lying about his business interest in Russia during the 2016 campaign was a big one.
Trump is mentally ill, and numerous psychiatrists have said so. I dont think Biden is or was mentally ill.
As far as the lap top goes, Trumps corruption makes whatever Hunter Biden did look like childs play.

You "think" a lot, but you have no proof or evidence of any of this ever happened
You seem to believe all the false information about Trump that you're fed and post here every day,
TRUMP HAS PROVIDED FOR YOU, OUR CONDOLENCES
That is a lie. He didn't ask them to hack her unsecured e-mails.
I think the 2016 meeting between the Trump campaign and a purported representative of the Russian government at Trump Tower was a big one. I think Trump blatantly lying about his business interest in Russia during the 2016 campaign was a big one.
None of which proved or came close to "collusion."

Don't look now, but you just failed the test laid out in post # 5.2.5
Like he always does, he was asking the Russians to do whatever they could to help him, in this case to "find" the missing emails. If you think he cared at all about how they did that for him you are delusional.
As far as the meeting, Trump Jr was told by someone who had access to the Russian government that there was a representative of the government who wanted to give him dirt on Hillary Clinton. And they met.
Mueller said that Trump Jr could not be indicted because he didnt realize that what he was doing might have been illegal. Other prosecutors may have seen that differently.
Mueller Confirms: Don Jr. Was Too Stupid to Collude
For the entirety of the special counsel’s investigation into possible collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign, and obstruction of justice by the president, one question consistently on people’s minds was: will Donald Trump Jr. go down for this? It was Donald Trump’s namesake, after all, who received an e-mail from British publicist Rob Goldstone on behalf of Russian pop star Emin Agalarov promising dirt on Hillary Clinton —to which he responded “If it’s what you say . . . I love it, especially later in the summer”—and, after follow-up calls with Agalarov, set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting in June 2016, attended by Jr., Jared Kushner, campaign manager Paul Manafort, an employee of Russian billionaire Aras Agalarov, Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya, former Russian counter-intelligence officer Rinat Akhmetshin, and a translator. He also apparently made a big show of telling everyone the Russians were coming, announcing in the regular morning meeting of senior campaign staff and Trump family members that he had “a lead on negative information about the Clinton Foundation” that he was taking a meeting to investigate, according to testimony from Manafort deputy Rick Gates , which makes an appearance on page 115 of the newly released Mueller report .
Obviously, all this only added to the question of Donny’s legal liability. In fact, as the redacted report states, the special counsel’s office “considered whether to charge Trump Campaign officials with crimes in connection with the June 9 meeting.” But luckily for the president’s eldest son, he ended up getting off scot-free—not because he hadn’t done anything sketchy, but because Robert Mueller concluded he was too stupid to know what he was doing.
And there was no dirt discussed. Only adoptions.
Mueller said that Trump Jr could not be indicted because he didnt realize that what he was doing might have been illegal.
Mueller was a proxy just like Joe Biden. That was really the Weissmann team, and they knew immediately that there was no collusion. If what Trump JR did was illegal, I can assure you that Weissmann would have demanded prosecution. And if it was illegal how would the Clinton campaign's hiring of an individual to approach "the Russians" to get dirt on Trump not be a part of the investigation. Mueller also claimed that he never heard of the Steele Dossier. The FBI used it to justify their "investigation." The FBI was caught falsifying a FISA warrant application. Nobody was held accountable. The Mueller team under Weissman destroyed everything on their cellphones and eventually turned in a report that history will regard as a miscarriage of justice.
, read the damn bipartisan summation of the Mueller report, would you !
From Trump and Kushners and Manaforts perspective the purpose of the meeting was to get dirt on Hillary Clinton. Try doing some research.
I posted it here on the day it came out.
Two leftist members quit.
That much puts them right in line with the Clinton campaign which PAID FOR DIRT. (Dirt that was made up, btw)
Yes, because campaigns have never looked for dirt on opponents before, the idea of that is shocking (s) i think the sticking point is they were meeting with Russians, but what the hypocrites on the left will never admit is that Hillary did exactly what Mueller couldn't prove that trump did.
That's been proven over and over and over again.
Other than it was broadcast on live TV nation wide?
I'm curious.
It seems to me like the Mayor of NY has absolutely no jurisdiction over anything related to Palestine. Please enlighten me if I've missed something.
So how, precisely, does he "actively campaign" on support for Palestine? What is he going to do about Palestine if elected? How does this work?
I don't think America needs more politicians who arer going to be role models for the "From the river to the sea" crowd. Your comment leads me to think that you are not aware that that means destroy Israel.
OK, but it still seems a really strange thing for the NYC mayor to campaign on. He may as well campaign on changing admission policies at the University of Texas. He's got zero say on it.
I understand that's what it means to Palestinians. I think the American kids who chant it at rallies think it's simply rebelling against their parents. They're utterly clueless.
Whether or not he campaigned on it is not important if people are aware he is a proponent of it.
Democrats pick an antisemite as their candidate, is anyone surprised by this?
Let's see:
We have a political party that went from slavery to segregation & liberalism at the same time, to big labor, and finally to Socialism & anti-Semitism.
That is quite a legacy.
But their racism has remained unchanged since the party's inception.
Not totally. It began with anti-black racism. Today it is anti-white racism.
They may be anti-white, but most of their leaders are almost transparent, it is their actions that still show that the think African Americans are inferior and unable to compete with their white brothers.
Absolutely! They think black voters can be manipulated.
Secretary General of NATO:
"For too long, one ally, the United States, carried too much of the burden of that commitment - and that changes today. President Trump - dear Donald - you made this change possible... we will produce trillions more for our common defense to make us stronger and fairer by equalizing spending between America and America's allies."
The President is now taking questions at the NATO Summit.
I recall the 'right' belittling Obama for saying as much, what changed ?
I don't recall that. Could you provide a link?
I think there is a collective intentional conservative blind spot when it comes to anything good that President Obama did. Perhaps it's just a certain shade of shade that blocks their ability to be objective.
Thank you for providing what I have difficulty in doing, as i spell I. T.
I. D. I. O. T. and have not computer capabilities, but I do distinctly remember having arguments on Newsvine, because as you stated, Hell as was stated by the GOP, be AGAINST any and everything Obama is for, and I thought it quite ridiculous how anyone could be against what Obama was stating, yet, there they were.
What I lack in computer skills, I can sometimes make up for, but is it even worth it ? When it is just abruptly ignored if it doesn't go along with their narratives. Two different worlds are seen by peoples observing the same information. Critical thinking has failed far too many, and it shows far too many...
Maybe you misunderstood the request Vic made, that happens quite often when deflecting to something nobody claimed. Would you like Vic or me to clarify it for you, i understand what Vic asked and you totally missed.
A deflection?
I believe Vic was looking for a link to show that the 'right' belittled Obama for saying that. Not that Obama didn't say that.
You are ruining a perfectly good deflection.
might be keeping the truth from entering your mind, cause I clearly stated it was from Newsvine debates I witnessed and was involved in
try photontorpedos cause i'mnot phazed or stunned, with your deflector shields on high
You don't see the irony in this statement?
Are you trying to equate progressives' rejection of Trump to conservatives' rejection of Obama? So, the frustration progressives have over the conservatives electing a twice impeached, 34 times convicted felon, admitted sexual predator, accused child rapist and known adulterer and liar is no different than conservatives' frustration over a black Harvard graduate, no felonies, still married to wife, no sex scandals, that oversaw bringing to justice one of America's worst enemies that attacked us on 9/11, but that many rightwing white religious conservatives apparently felt was way too 'uppity' being elected President?
And yes, I know ALL the bullshit excuses conservatives have manufactured to mask their true reasons for hating our first black President, but they're not fooling anyone, not even themselves though I know they'll never ever be honest about it.
As for being able to applaud Trump when he does something worth applauding, I fully support his action against Iran. They are a danger to the entire globe with their religious conservatives controlling the military and their potential for achieving nuclear weapons which would be a disaster for every nation. I just wish he would act as strong against our other enemies like Russia and N Korea instead of wilting like an exhausted butterfly every time he's in Putin's presence and telling us all how much he loved Kim Jong Un's love letters.
I'm equating intentional blind spots.
Riiiight. Anybody who disagrees with your politics must be a racist. How original.
Might you possibly be considering, and or imagining, possibly some new image obtainers, sometimes called mirrors, that can help one imagine the image that reflection of light refracted, can sometimes mirror the detracted , for subtract it from most equations, still left with mainly Caucasians, who on occasions, are often found to have wide brushes, yet narrow shoulders, to bear the weight they offten didn't anticipate, butt, that's in Heinz sites
Then you are equating a speck of dust in the eye to a timber.
I'm sure you think so. But I'm also pretty sure you know the story says the log is in you "own eye".
you wood know
He was probably "motivated" by Trump saying yesterday that he wasnt sure if the US would live up to its article five commitment.
What does article 5 commitment mean to you John? and what was trumps comment on it?
Whenever you quote Trump, I want a link.
Article 5
“The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence recognized by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area.
Any such armed attack and all measures taken as a result thereof shall immediately be reported to the Security Council. Such measures shall be terminated when the Security Council has taken the measures necessary to restore and maintain international peace and security.”
Thats it , thats all of art 5
no where does it say the US has to use troops or military force , none of them have too actually .
but it does say this."will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force"
that tells me that the issue is up to the responding party to decide what is necessary in their response .
lot of room for interpretation if i was asked what it meant . .
Much different than saying he wasn't sure if the US would live up to its article five commitment.
Socialism makes communism look like capitalism ... runaway ... runaway.
Gee thanks, for a while I thought my toying misquote of the Rusty Lady would fall on dead ears.
Those other people will invent crypto.
I'm always willing to help out.
Willing and able are different things.
You've done most of it for me.
Any thoughts on the Trmp family making a Billion of Crypto in a few months Vic ?
Exactly what is your issue with this?
Can you not see how easy it is to BUY INFLUENCE with Trump ?
Did they sell US influence or rare minerals to get it?
So you are assuming something is happening without proof. Didn't you ignore the billions to the Biden family? that's different right?
You're funny George. The Bidens were investigated, Hunter was not found to have violated the rules, only tax and gun laws. Nothing, I repeat Joe Biden was charged with nothing. Trumps' family has 'earned' a Billion dollars in a few months on crypto currency, something he said was a scam not too long ago. This has yet to be investigated, biden was investigated. So do tell me why, the biggest elected grifter thief of them all is as usual, above even suspicion, cause he'd never LIE to you, would he ?
Link please
Patti
The Bidens were never investigated for selling influence, that comment is a lie, and selling something is not selling influence, Much like Hunters paintings, it was a really shitty investment but not influence right?
Hunter Biden says art sales plunged since dad left White House
What were the impeachment proceedings that ole whats the fck tried to bring against Joe Biden based on ? The scumbag that gave guided House tours on Jan 5th ? Loudermouth or something
Game-set-match!
So you are saying impeachment hearings that never actually happened were equal to an investigation? Wow just wow. can you tell me the special prosecutors name that headed up that investigation?
[✘] cause there is a game set match, you win everytime ?!
they couldn't scrape together enough fcknv evidence for gods sake. Their main source was a Russian Informant that admitted he LIED ABOUT THE MONEY BIDEN ALLEDGEDLY GOT !!! WTF PEOPLE
So we are down to no investigation.....that sounds vaguely familiar.
maybe Repubs need NO damn credible evidence to start an impeachment procedure, but a 'real' investigation starts with evidence !
But lots of pardons....
Sounds a lot like the Clinton Foundation after HRC lost her presidential campaign.
yet not of Police beaters
Maybe, but he certainly had no problems with commuting the sentences of those that killed police, children, military etc.
Did he?...
You mean the A+ rated Clinton Foundation? Where is trump's foundation these days? Oh yea, shut down for fraud.
Yes, I mean that A+ rated Clinton Foundation that lost a lot of donations and supporters after she lost her presidential bid.
But hey, nice try on the deflection to Trump.
So the Clinton foundation is A+ rated, thanks for agreeing.
Is it possible to hear from an adult who is not having a daily tantrum?
If he was, he'd be entitled.
Once any other politician has endured even one tenth of what he has, tantrums become justifiable.
Um, he was born having an I'm 'entitled' tantrum. That gold plated spoon needs to be unprofessionally excised. He is reaping what he sowed.
So you don't want to hear from the Democrats or the left. I understand. They have become quite tiresome.
It's called GUTS and he has more than most.
I anxiously await to see the proof ...
You saw it over & over again.
Btw, are the gangs back in Aurora?
By weight he does.
I never noticed them before, but if they are, hopefully they're looking for maga hats and bumper stickers ...
You're getting rusty.
Aging has attributes ... flirtation becoming attention without intention being one of them.
Are they still eating cats and dogs in Springfield?
I am not at all sure why you think posting that garbage would make reasonable people want to be more aligned with Trump.
The last 4 years alone is justification enough.
I'll take, "Posts Made by an angry 12 year old" for 1000 Alex.

FBI Raises 'Alarming' Claims of Chinese Interference in 2020 Election - Newsweek
You mean the interference the Democrats and left swore never happened? I thought the claims of interference were "conspiracy theories". Odd how those keep coming true.
There are a lot of files to go through at the FBI.
It's getting hot on Capitol Hill:
AG Pam Bondi to Rep. Madeleine Dean: "You want to talk about incompetence, you're the one that said Joe Biden on PBS was competent. You had to retract those words. Don't talk, don't insult me publicly."
Does Madeleine Dean actually think she should be taken seriously?
They let Merrick Garland turn the law inside out and now they want to smear Bondi.
They let Garland get away with everything because he was supporting what they wanted to do. Bondi, on the other hand, is supporting the law. Democrats don't like that.
They do project onto others what they do.
The logical candidate for NYC mayor:
What holds him back?
Could it be that NYC is one third foreign born?
Or is it the indoctrinated elite?
is that Curtis >

The very one the elite hate.
How long before Democratic leadership in New York begin demanding 'reforms' for ranked voting? Seems like any problematic election result for the Democratic old guard is justification for reforms.
As soon as it hurts their choice.
It was a terrible idea. It has kept Lisa Murkowski in office for years.
It's so hot that Barney almost burned his hand on the hood.
He had the A/C on full strength all the way to Mt Pilot.
We finish the day with a laugh:
CNN correspondent Natasha Bertrand (the liar on the Hunter laptop story) is telling people that unnamed sources are telling her that the U.S. strikes on three of Iran's nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the country's nuclear program. Remember, right after the strike people told us that it will take a long time to assess the damage, which btw caused a mountain to change color. Other left-wing sites ran with it.
Meanwhile the President came home from a very successful NATO meeting with an Iran deal in the works. Tomorrow the SCOTUS is likely to rule on district judge authority and this weekend the Big Beautiful Bill is set for a vote. A new Trafalgar Poll just came out showing widespread support for the President's foreign policy. Things are looking up for the nation.
To all my friends:
"Good night and good luck."
The socialist is now promising to raise taxes on white neighborhoods. He seems intent on destroying the country by any means necessary.
I dont know about destroying the country , fundamentally changing NYC if he becomes mayor , thats up in the air .
what he fails to realize is those he wishes to target , as has been pointed out , have the ability to leave , and all they really have to do is move outside the cities jurisdictional reach .
the same goes for businesses , covid taught us that work can be done from just about anywhere, especially with the businesses targeted that make high dollars .
He hasn't been elected yet.
Since Republicans hate New York isn't it good news?
If he gets elected doesn't that mean New York is stuck with "socialism"?
Are you fear mongering before the actual election because if he is elected and " socialism" works for New York and it's good, then you don't want good things to happen in any other city?
