JOE BIDEN is known as a serial liar, a "public servant" who has somehow managed to accrue tremendous wealth, a race-baiting opportunist, Catholic-in-name-only, and a bought-and-paid-for politician in bed with criminal cartels and foreign foes.  In another era, Joe Biden would have been run out of his country much the same way Benedict Arnold was two and a half centuries ago; in an era when integrity, honor, fortitude, fidelity, and grit have been jettisoned for immorality, unscrupulousness, weakness, betrayal, and craven pliability, however, he is elevated to king sleazeball in a city drowning in sleaze.

Democrat New York Gov. Kathy Hochul says she’s helping those who do things “by the book,” by cracking down on those who do them illegally – at least when it comes to undocumented cannabis retailers.

If only she felt the same way about illegal immigration as she does about undocumented pot shops.

On Tuesday, Gov. Hochul posted a comment on social media that seems highly ironic, given her state’s embrace of illegal immigrants, with its eight sanctuary cities:

“Legal cannabis retailers have done everything by the book to be a part of our new industry. We’re cracking down on illegal shops to ensure small business owners like Alfredo of @conbudny can continue to grow.”

But, what about people like legal immigrants who’ve “done everything by the book”?

They’ve waited their turn in line, filled out paperwork and jumped through seemingly endless hoops to enter and live in the U.S. Aren’t they compromised by those who simply break into our country by sneaking, or these days, simply walking across our borders between legal ports of entry?

In her post, Gov. Hochul embedded a video of remarks by Alfredo Anguiera, co-owner of CONBUD marijuana dispensary in New York, decrying the danger and injustice of illegal cannabis shops.

Anguiera warns of the public safety, health and economic threats posed by people illegally running cannabis shops:

“The shadow of the illicit market has loomed large, posing significant threats to the state’s economic sustainability and the overall wellbeing of our communities.

“As citizens of this great state, we are all stewards of public health and safety. And, as such, we cannot turn a blind eye to the dangers posed by these unregulated and potentially harmful substances.

“The fight against the illicit cannabis market is a fight for the future of our communities and our economy. By working together to root out illicit operators, support local farmers and promote responsible legislation, we can build a stronger, safer, and more equitable cannabis industry for generations to come.”

Imagine if Anguiera had said this about illegal immigration.

Well, now, you don’t have to. Just watch the doctored video below, where references to illicit cannabis are replaced by references to illegal immigration.

Think Gov. Hochul would praise these same principles, when they’re applied to immigration law?

For comparison, here's the unaltered video in Gov. Hochul's social media post:

 

 

 

POOR CHUCK, HE CAN'T OPEN HIS FAT MOUTH THAT MORE BIDEN LIES REGURGITATE. WHAT WE NEED IS A REGIME CHANGE AND KENNEDY WILL DO IT!


Schumer: People Have Negative View of Economy ‘Because They Remember’ How Things Were About a Year Ago

On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Senate Majority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) stated that people have negative views of the economy “because they remember” how things were about a year ago under President Joe Biden.

Schumer said, “We had the greatest two years that we’ve had in a very long time, in terms of production for middle-class people, for American values.”

Later, co-host Joe Scarborough asked, “Let’s talk about the economy. … [W]e just got a new report in, breaking news, once again, job hiring blew past expectations…275,000 new jobs over the past month. You look at all the numbers, they’re historic, the best jobs numbers ever over the past three years, the jobless rate below 4% for the first time in 60 years, new business starts, up, as the President said, you look at manufacturing, up. I’m curious, you’ve been in politics a long time, how long does it take for the reality to catch up with the expectation?”

Schumer said, “The economy is always a lagging indicator. In other words, it takes about a year for the reality to catch up with people’s views, because they remember, they still remember when eggs were $4 or $5. They still remember when gasoline was $4 or $5. Now, the prices are lower. But people have a view, let’s see if this sticks or this just isn’t a bump. Once it stays for a while, which it will, inflation going down from 9% to less than 3%, 15 million new jobs, a record, that’s all going to start sinking in. We’re already seeing it in some of our Senate races, where the Senate candidates — the Senate incumbents are talking about this record and they’re running ahead of their Republican incumbents — their Republican challengers. So, it’s a lagging indicator, but, I believe, by September, the economy will be, in people’s minds, far more favorable than it is today.”

THESE D.A.s ARE TYPICALLY OWNED BY GEORGE SOROS - GOOGLE IT!

Toxic DAs who have spent millions of taxpayers' monies targeting Trump while releasing criminals without bail need to be impeached and sued.

Is New York City Really Dead?

There is a hilarious YouTube video titled What NYC is Now mocking the disgraceful state of the city’s lawless state that is now a haven for criminals.

The video may be in fun, but is sadly based on fact.

Far too many edicts coming from Mayor Eric Adams’ administration are simply mind-boggling. The city has been invaded by illegal immigrants from several countries, and the mayor has ordered that they be sheltered in hotels, schools, and senior residencies, displacing senior veterans and resident citizens. In addition, a pilot program will be giving them $10,000 prepaid debit cards to buy certain items. What?!!

Needless to say, the recent political judgments against President Donald Trump and his businesses have induced a “get out of NYC asap rampage.” No one wants to do business here if biased judges can officiate over kangaroo court cases against political enemies.   Those families who can move are relocating to red states but there are many of us without the resources to do so. There are also many like me who prefer to stay and fight.

New York City used to be the greatest city in the world, and as I was born here during its glory years, the very idea that it’s doomed is unacceptable. I believe that everything that is wrong with the city is due to misguided, progressive politics primarily instituted by Democrats. Historically, NYC has thrived under great mayors like Fiorello LaGuardia, John Lindsay, and Rudy Giuliani, all Republicans.

 I do not regard Mike Bloomberg as a Republican because he was basically a Democrat wolf in RINO's clothing.

After 9/11, Giuliani should have been allowed to serve a third term, but Bloomberg protested that this was not allowed.

When he was elected mayor, the hypocrite bribed the majority-Democrat City Council to allow his third term.

His nanny administration destroyed the best of the city neighborhoods by allowing his developer buddies to roll over Bronx and Brooklyn burgs. Before his term was up, Rudy Giuliani had given a group of developers, including actor Danny Aiello, Staten Island waterfront land to develop, which would cost the city almost nothing.

The developers built a 2-million-dollar movie studio that would bring Hollywood money to the borough. The proposed site in Stapleton was brilliant and included a hotel, theater, art school, and a waterfront that would rival San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf.

So, what happened? Mayor Bloomberg immediately canceled the proposed Staten Island project and, instead, the movie project was given to the Steiner Group, which took over the defunct Brooklyn Navy Yard. So, instead of getting a free development in Staten Island, NYC had to pay millions to support the Brooklyn studio. Why?  In 2002, Bloomberg’s net worth, according to Forbes, was $4.4 billion, but in 2013, when he left, it was $27 billion, which is a wonder considering his mayoral salary was $1.  Just asking.

Unlike many New Yorkers, I do not accept the conclusion that New York cannot come back from the disastrous state it’s in now. Much of the positive restoral to sanity will come with the removal of all progressives from office. The City Council must be reelected every two years. We need more Republicans and independents on the council. We need a strong Republican mayor, preferably not selected by the incompetent New York GOP.

I have wanted for years to have the mayor come from Staten Island, which is the city’s most conservative borough. James Oddo made global news as the cursing councilman in 2007, but that is exactly what NYC needs to combat crime and lawlessness. Another candidate, in my opinion, would be Michael Grimm. Yes, he went to prison for the same crime that Hillary Clinton was excused for, but this former Marine, FBI undercover agent, and U.S. congressman deserves a second chance. He only went down because he called out the corruption in the Deep State, and I compared him to Jimmy Stewart in a  2010 column.

If the New Yorkers who are willing to fight to save NYC actually come out in force to elect the changes, may I suggest the following steps:

To fight crime, we must unleash the NYPD to do its job in apprehending criminals and keeping them off the street. Hopefully, we’ll also get a conservative governor who respects business and will overturn the egregious anti-business legislation that crippled the city during the pandemic. Toxic DAs who have spent millions of taxpayers' monies targeting Trump while releasing criminals without bail need to be impeached and sued.

Re-fund the police and hire extra personnel to monitor subway and bus activity. I was recently on a bus where passengers entered without paying any fares. The drivers, it seems, are no longer permitted to even confront the fare-beaters. I propose that each subway train and bus have a uniformed security agent (auxiliary cops, veterans, whatever, just big and strong with skills). Sounds radical, but we have been invaded by criminals who now believe they will never be punished.  

Of course, these suggestions are unlikely to be enacted if  New Yorkers, who are really to blame for the city’s demise, continue to shirk their responsibility to be good citizens.  We can blame the corrupt and venal Democrat politicians for the sorry state of what once was dubbed “fun city,” but these sorry New Yorkers do the usual and stay home on Election Day, allowing the progressive ‘elite’ to destroy our home.

In 2017, New Yorkers had the opportunity to elect NYCs first female mayor when the excellent Nicole Malliotakis ran against Bill DeBlasio, the worst NYC mayor ever. Unfortunately, because she’s a conservative Republican, she received no help from hypocritical liberal women groups, and the turnout, as usual, was a dismal 23.9%. Thankfully, Staten Island voted her as our representative in Congress in 2021 and reelected her in 2023.

All it will take for New York City to once again be the greatest is for voters to put an end to progressive, a.k.a., Democrat, dominance in the City Council and the administration. All New Yorkers must wake up and stop being woke.

Make NYC great again. MNGA
