New York (again)

New York is now the ‘least free’ state, thanks to Democrat policies

New York Post, by Post Editorial Board

 

New York state once again ranks as the “least free” in America, as a new Cato Institute report nails woes The Post has long decried. Cato’s libertarians rank the Empire State dead-last, 50th, for policies impacting economic, social and personal freedoms — and even where it scores slight gains (for legalizing pot and reforming criminal justice), Albany plainly screwed up. “

Upwards of 2,500 NYPD officers turned
in their badges in 2023 amid concerning trend

 by Kevin Haggerty

 

Budget cut-bolstered attrition set the Big Apple up for a “dramatic turn for the worse” as police officers have turned in their badges in staggering numbers. A microcosm of the managed decline seen at the national level, New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ (D) succession to Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) in putting leftist agendas ahead of basic safety and operations measurably set the city back decades.

 

As resources were reallocated to accommodate the out-of-control influx of illegal aliens, disenchanted and disgruntled members of the NYPD continued resigning in droves, even as they were short of the requirements to receive full pensions, according to the NYPD pension data.

Great trip to NY over the holiday.  The Guilderland rest area on I-90 in Schenectady is closed so if you're traveling to/from MA you have about 40-50 miles between rest areas.  Elsewhere along the way, there's plenty of "text stops" but they don't have any services.  The state-run bathroom-only rest stops are worse than a porta potty. 

 

At least we didn't get stuck in construction delays this trip!

War on drugs.  

So if you're busted with illegal cannabis, does that get you a fast path to having a license to distribute?

 

Or was that only for people who get busted when it was super bad, not just sorta bad?

So true.  It's a different story when NY doesn't get their cut of the $$$$$$.  What a mess.

 Philip Sean Grillo, 49, of Queens, New York, was found guilty of five charges, including one felony, by a federal jury in Washington, D.C. Grillo was convicted of obstruction of an official proceeding, a felony, and misdemeanor offenses of entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building, and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building.

 

So, a trespassing and the same thing Jamaal Bowman did.

Schumer, Jeffries, Gillibrand and Biden
stand by as migrants drive NYC into bankruptcy
— call them out, Mayor Adams!

New York Post, by Bob McManus

 

“I did not leave with optimism,” Mayor Adams confessed last week, after spending a day in Washington cadging spare change. Bonaparte might have said the same of his visit to Russia, in 1812. But it gets worse: “It’s going to be up to New Yorkers to navigate this challenge that we are facing,” he said – the challenge being the migration-driven fiscal tsunami now bearing down on his city. The thing about tsunamis, of course, is that they are not navigable. Pretending otherwise, as a matter of public policy, is either foolish or dishonest. Pick one.

Over 67K migrants are living in NYC shelters
- more than triple the 2022 holiday season total

- as Mayor Eric Adams calls Biden's
lax immigration policies 'baffling'

by Stephen M. Lepore

 

New York City Mayor Eric Adams again called out the Biden administration and the federal government over its 'baffling' inability to address the Big Apple's migrant crisis. Adams, a Democrat, has often clashed with the president and Democrats in Washington, constantly begging Washington for money to solve a disaster that he claimed will 'destroy my city.' It comes alongside the news there are now over 67,000 migrants living in the city's shelter system, over triple the 21,300 at this time last year. In a Sunday interview, Adams was asked why his fellow Democrats in DC have ignored his repeated, in-person pleas to help, the mayor said he was at a loss

WTF is this BS. Tell Kathy to collect from those people 400 years ago who treated Africans terribly. I am sure they will gladly pay up today.

Why?  why is the current thing mob wearing Palestinian flags and attacking Christmas?

 

 

It's like it's the usual Marxist mob just using the flag as camouflage.

 

they need to get back to what protesting is. Its protesting the government peacefully.  

 

Stopping traffic, attacking people and their celebrations just makes them look like some red guard mob.
