Another Day, Another Antisemite in the Democrats' Big Tent

Happy whatever day it is, dear friends. The commies in the Democrat Party never cease to amaze with their tolerance for the most vile bigotry, as long as it's aimed at the right people, of course.

New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani's brand-new director of appointments, Catherine Almonte Da Costa, who was just tapped on Wednesday and had previously been an executive assistant to the ever-popular Bill de Blasio, bolted from her gig Thursday afternoon after some rather colorful anti-Semitic posts from her past came to light.

"Catherine expressed her deep remorse over her past statements and tendered her resignation, and [Mamdani, aka Smiley] accepted," Dora Pekec, the mayor-elect's transition team spokesperson, said in a statement to Jewish Insider.

The offending gems, dating back to 2011 and 2012, were dug up by the Judge Street Journal. 

Naturally, once the story hit, the account vanished faster than a Democrat's principles when power's on the line. Screenshots preserved the classics, though: "Money hungry Jews smh," Da Costa posted on X in January 2011, according to screenshots."Woo! Promoted to the upstairs office today! Working alongside these rich Jewish peeps," this anti-Semitic slut posted in June 2011.

In June 2012, Da Costa wrote that the "Far Rockaway train is the Jew train," a reference to the neighborhood's sizable Jewish population.

Da Costa's resignation statement tried to clean up the mess: she "spoke with the Mayor-elect this afternoon, apologized, and expressed my deep regret for my past statements. These statements are not indicative of who I am. As the mother of Jewish children, I feel a profound sense of sadness and remorse at the harm these words have caused. As this has become a distraction from the work at hand, I have offered my resignation."

The Anti-Defamation League of New York and New Jersey wasn't in a forgiving mood, and why should they be? They blasted the posts on X before the resignation: they "echo classic anti-Semitic tropes and otherwise demean Jewish people."

"We appreciate Da Costa has relationships with members of the Jewish community, but her posts require immediate explanation, not just from Ms. Da Costa, but also from the Mayor-Elect," the ADL said in a statement.

This little scandal drops right as Jewish leaders are already side-eyeing several of Mamdani's transition picks, wondering if the incoming mayor, who hits City Hall on Jan. 1st, is serious about combating the skyrocketing anti-Semitism that's become the Left's favorite pastime.

One of the bigger eye-rollers is Tamika Mallory, ex-Women's March boss who got booted amid her own anti-Semitism drama, now slotted for a shiny new community safety committee.

Shocking, I know. 

In Democratville, old tweets about "money hungry Jews" are just a speed bump on the road to power, until they're not. But hey, at least she has Jewish kids now, so that's all fixed, right? 

The modern Left's moral compass continues to spin like a weather vane in a hurricane.

If you like Brain Flushings and want to Buy Me a Coffee, I would appreciate it, as it supports my work. Obviously, there is no pressure but I certainly wouldn't stop you. Imagine, you could be the first on your block to do that and your friends will thank you . . . for some reason.

Nonprofit Linked to Sarsour's Anti-Semitic Circus Rakes in Millions from NYC and Albany Taxpayers

Well, here's a plot twist that shouldn't surprise anyone who's been paying attention to the progressive fever swamp: a nonprofit cozying up to anti-Semitic Muslima Linda Sarsour, longtime cheerleader for New York City mayor-elect, Democrat Socialist Zohran Mamdani, has been swimming in public cash like it's an open bar at a DSA happy hour. Public records lay it out plain as day: $4.1 million over seven years, courtesy of the good folks in City Hall and Albany who apparently think funding radical activism is just another line item in the budget.

The Arab American Association of New York (AAANY), where Sarsour reigned supreme from 2005 to 2017, pocketed over $3.3 million from the city and $854,000 from the state between her exit and 2024. The state cash mostly flowed from the New York State Department of State, with a cheeky $20,000 sprinkle from the Office of Children and Family Services, because nothing says "family values" like bankrolling allies of Hamas fanboys. 

On the city side, it's a black box of bureaucratic bliss: one $60,000 check from the Department of Small Business Services, and the rest shows no agency named, no questions asked. Watchdog OpenTheBooks had to dig through the muck to expose it, because transparency is so last century in Bill de Blasio's dystopia.

This bombshell drops right after Sarsour's latest victory lap, where she gloated about Mamdani's win and dangled threats over any Democrat who dares to love the Jewish state of Israel. 

Mamdani, predictably radio silent on whether he'll keep the gravy train chugging for his pal's old outfit once he parks his keffiyeh in Gracie Mansion. 

Democratic NY Gov. Kathy Hochul was mum on whether Albany's checkbook stays open for AAANY's agitprop. One can only imagine the internal memo: "Priorities: not affordable housing; but increased Sarsour slush funds, definitely.

It all bubbled up from a Canary Mission video of Sarsour preening at a September Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) confab, boasting that a CAIR-backed PAC was Mamdani's top sugar daddy, a nugget the Free Beacon flagged back in June. Remember, CAIR's boss Nihad Awad lit up the interwebs in late 2023 by admitting he was "happy to see" Hamas's Oct. 7 bloodbath against Israel. Classy crowd of racist pukes.

Fresh off Mamdani's triumph, Sarsour wasted no time Thursday at a Puerto Rico shindig, vowing to purge pro-Israel Democrats from the party like they're haram. "You do the right thing, you keep your job," she crowed. "You don't do the right thing, you don't keep your job. There are some people that will do the right thing for the wrong reasons, but we don't care why you do the right thing as long as you do the right thing. If you do it because you think you're getting primaried, that's okay with us. People are saying 'free Palestine' because now they're getting primaried. Free Palestine." Ah, yes, the timeless leftist logic: Motives don't matter if the outcome feeds the narrative. Primaries as protection racket, 2025 edition.

Sarsour's out of the AAANY driver's seat these days, but don't worry, the radical bus hasn't slowed down. Current honcho Marwa Janini, a vet of Students for Justice in Palestine, threw her weight behind a 2021 petition pushing global boycotts of the Jewish state. The group's official line? All sunshine: "to support and empower the Arab Immigrant and Arab American community by helping them adjust to their new home and become active members of society." But under Janini, it's been pedal-to-the-metal on Mamdani's "Not on Our Dime" bill, which would've kneecapped New York nonprofits for any whiff of "unauthorized support for Israeli settlement activity." Mamdani's still playing coy on whether that covers, say, Band-Aids for West Bank civilians, humanitarian aid being such a slippery slope when you're auditioning for the anti-Zionist league.

And let's not forget AAANY's star turn backing the "Flood Brooklyn for Palestine" blowout just days after Oct. 7. What started as a "protest" turned into a full-on tantrum: roads gridlocked, street fires lit, eggs hurled at cops, and chants that made the Weather Underground look like a book club. NYPD scooped up about two dozen of the 5,000-strong mob. As one ringleader bellowed, as per the New York Post, this wasn't some milquetoast ceasefire plea, they were gunning for "an end to the occupation." 

Sarsour and Mamdani go way back, bonding over Khader El-Yateem's flop of a 2017 city council run. She's maxed out donations to his mayoral bid and dubbed him her "favorite guy," but don't get it twisted, she's got the accountability whip ready. "I won't let him do whatever the hell he wants when he gets to City Hall," she promises. 

Speaking of which, Sarsour's resume reads like a greatest-hits album of Jew-hating tropes: Zionism as "white supremacy in America," endless sniping at Israel's, and thereby the Jews' very existence. In 2017, Sarsour was the Women's co-chair where she platformed Louis Farrakhan's bile and Rasmea Odeh, the convicted terrorist. 

She is also the BDS queen snake [no bees here], insisting "One cannot be a feminist and a Zionist at the same time." Small wonder the March's founder booted her for good, blasting the "anti-Semitism, anti-LBGTQIA sentiment and hateful, racist rhetoric" she'd normalized.

In a sane world, taxpayers wouldn't subsidize this circus of a clusterfrack. But in Hochul's New York, where Mamdani's squad treats public funds like venture capital for revolution, it's just another day ending in 'y'.

Fani Willis and the new whistleblower

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, is in contact with another whistleblower from Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ office who intends to expose Willis's misuse of federal funds, he told Fox Business' Maria Bartiromo. [H/T Fox News Business.]

Jordan said that a woman informant has come forward and is ready to tell the House Oversight Committee what she knows.

"Now the Justice Department reportedly finding inconsistencies in Fulton County D.A. Fani Willis' use of federal grant money," Bartiromo said. "Willis fired the whistleblower who warned the D.A.'s office was attempting to misuse $488,000."

"This was a federal grant," she continued. "She wanted to use it to pay for computers and travel. I don't know if she was traveling with her boyfriend or not, but the D.O.J. told the Washington Free Beacon the grant is plagued with reporting discrepancies, Mr. Chairman."

"God bless the whistleblower who came forward," Jordan said. "We've talked with the whistleblower. She's given information to the press, to us. Now the Department of Justice is looking into this."

Jordan explained that former Fulton County special prosecutor and Willis' former paramour Nathan Wade had met with the January 6 Committee before resigning his post.

"He was traveling to Washington to meet with the DOJ, the White House, the January 6th Committee, all in this effort to go after President [Donald] Trump," Jordan said. "And now we have this. It looks like misspending federal grant dollars."

Jordan has also subpoenaed documents from Willis regarding the prosecution of Trump for election-related crimes.

"I am in receipt of your letter dated March 14, 2024. I categorically reject the assertion that this office is deficient in responding to the Committee's subpoena dated February 2, 2024," Willis wrote to Jordan last month, having to look up the spelling of 'categorically.'

A spokesperson for the Justice Department informed the Washington Free Beacon of an ongoing investigation into the misuse of federal funds by Willis' office. If it turns out that her office did indeed misuse the money, she will probably not only be off the case, but in the slammer.

The spokesperson noted, "We have noticed some inconsistencies in what Fulton County has reported to [the Federal Subaward Reporting System] and we are working with them to update their reporting accordingly."

The Justice Department did not provide any further details on the nature of Willis’s reporting "inconsistencies" on the $488,000 federal grant, which was earmarked for the creation of a Center for Youth Empowerment and Gang Prevention in Atlanta. The grant ended in September 2023, but the center never opened. 

This sounds a lot like Willis' office was taking their cues from Chirlane McCray, the wife of former Democratic New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, who couldn't account for $850,000,000 of taxpayer money her husband gave her for a mental health project.

Something smell fishy.

Bill deBlasio [aka Warren Wilhelm, Jr.] will separate from his wife but they'll still live together

Former NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio (Communist) is separating from his wife, Chirlane McCray, a former lesbian who, after being married to this clod, is having second thoughts. 

The couple made their plans public on Wednesday in spite of such situations normally being private. They were married for 29 years and don't plan to have an expensive formal divorce, they just plan on boffing whomever they please and will continue living together in different rooms of their house in marital bliss.

The odd couple made the uncalled for announcement in an extensive dual interview with the New York Times on Wednesday.

"I just want to have fun," McCray told the Times, because she's a girl and that's what girls want, according to Cindy Lauper. 

The couple said they first began realizing that they wanted to move on since early May, although they have had a crappy relationship much earlier than that. She digs women, he digs Marx.

McCray said that she had been skeptical of de Blasio's 2020 presidential run, which she knew he sucked as a New York City mayor, and would suck even more as a president, which he had the same chance of attaining as Dylan Mulvaney getting a sponsorship for Dos Equis Beer.

So it turns out that not only do most Americans think Bill de Blasio, [aka Warren Wilhelm, Jr.] is an unlikable crap weasel, his wife thinks so too.

De Blasio went on to acknowledge that McCray had been calling herself a lesbian when they first met. He said that reality always caused him to harbor doubts about their relationship, especially after having one night out with the girls seven nights a week. But it never occurred to him what was going on.

In fact, he walked in on her going at it with another lady and shouted, "Chirlane; what is the meaning of this?" to which she replied to her lover, "See, I told you he was stupid."

Just kidding--that never really happened, so don't sue me.

"For the guy who took the chance on a woman who was an out lesbian and wrote an article called ‘I Am a Lesbian’ … there was a part of me that would at times say, ‘Hmmm, is this like a time bomb ticking? Is this something that you’re going to regret later on?’" he told the Times, proving he is stupid.

Neither de Blasio nor McCray referenced a third party as a reason for their split but that's because there is likely a fourth party too.

De Blasio has faced festering issues since leaving the political scene. He was fined almost $475,000 in June for misusing city resources during his 2020 presidential campaign. New York City's Conflicts of Interest Board found that he wrongfully had the city pay for his NYPD security detail's travel costs to and from campaign events in 2019. Expenses also included lodging, car rentals, airfare and meals. 

Hooray for capitalism when it's for oneself, is his motto.

So not only is he stupid, he is also dishonest, and that is a terrible combination.

NYC nightly score: 7 shot, 1 dead in a 3-hour span

New York City, like Chicago and other Democratic-run major cities, has become more dangerous to residents than Afghanistan was in the last few years before we pulled out.

Overnight, there were seven people shot and one was killed in the span of only three hours. The shootings occurred in Coney Island, Flatbush, Far Rockaway, East New York, and Long Island City. 

One 26-year-old man was shot in the face in Long Island City and is in critical condition Monday morning.

No arrests have been made.

Just days ago, seven other people were shot, one of whom is a 12-year-old girl, all in an hour time span that had followed a deadly night that had 11 shooting or stabbing incidents within a six-hour span.

Since June, crime in the Big Apple has been increasing with NYPD stats showing a rise of over 30% compared to last year.

Democrat Mayor Eric Adams, a former NYPD captain, has done a yeoman's job of doing nothing but talking about the problem, but to his credit, he is critical of the "catch, release, and repeat" policy of the previous administrations and the total incompetence of former mayor, Comrade Bill de Blasio.

Adams is vowing to get the growing problem under control, but he has been as effective as a sump pump at the beach.

"It is unfortunate the climate we’re working under … where the entire criminal-justice apparatus has turned away from the public and the rights of the public to live safe in their city," Adams said last month.

"We’re going to turn this crime thing around, and when we do so, people are going to really see the progress we’ve made in other parts of the city," he added. "Public safety and justice are prerequisites for prosperity. If you’re not safe you really can’t thrive… Public safety is crucial."

Yadda, yadda, yadda.

Comrade de Blasio drops out of Congress race because people know he sucks

Warren Wilhelm Jr., aka comrade Bill de Blasio, dropped out of the race for the 10th Congressional District on Tuesday because he knows that he with his long record of failure, he had as much chance of winning the election as alleged President Biden has of being caught at a Mensa meeting. De Blasio's words: "it's not going to work out." 

“I’ve really listened carefully to people and it’s clear to me that when it comes to this congressional district, people are looking for another option. And I respect that,” the former mayor said in a video statement posted to Twitter. 

First of all, de Blasio doesn't care about other people's opinions. He does whatever he wants whether it makes sense or not, but particularly when it coincides with his personal communist thinking.

The big idiot also conceded that it’s finally time for him to “leave electoral politics” and “focus on other ways to serve,” because ain't nobody gonna vote for him after he ruined the Big Apple and even disregarded the Covid rules he demanded of others. [This seems to be a problem for many on the Left.] 

“Even though this is not going to work out, I hope you know how much I appreciate you and we’re gonna do a lot together to make this city better in the future,” he threatened.

The big jerk dropped out of the race just one day after a poll released by the progressive Working Families Party showed that over half of undecided Democratic voters in the district definitely would not back him in the crowded race, due to his level of sucking at his job. Some said they would vote for mucous if it ran against him.

Even de Blasio's former campaign aide, Lis Smith, described de Blasio as "gross," "unshowered," and not a pleasure to be around.

Smith, a former Pete Buttigieg 2020 campaign advisor, spoke candidly on MSNBC with Nicolle Wallace and she read an excerpt from Smith's new political memoir, "Any Given Tuesday: A Political Love Story." She recounted when she worked for de Blasio up until he fired her over her affair with political beefcake former Gov. Eliot Spitzer (D-NY). Smith wanted to be de Blasio's City Hall press secretary.

The excerpt she read compared the communist former mayor to an "unshowered" college student who thought he was intelligent because "he's read one line of a Communism for Dummies book."

Well, at least de Blasio made the right move for once. Maybe he'll become a basketball net installer, but in spite of his height, he would be better suited as a urinal cake installer instead.

Comrade de Blasio won't run for Congress because he'd lose bigly

Former New York City Mayor and Comrade Bill de Blasio has decided that he won't run in New York's redrawn 11th congressional district. He made calls to who he thought would support him, and his decision not to run followed. It's a freaking mystery since his greatest accomplishment was his height.

“I’ve represented the neighborhoods of the 11th CD for years and I love the people who live here. It was gratifying to connect with community and elected leaders while I considered a run. I’m certain a progressive can win this seat and serve us in Washington,” the Communist incompetent tweeted Tuesday. [Say "Communist incompetent" three times fast.]

“Back in January, I made a decision to focus on advocating for policies that would continue to drive down income inequality in New York – one of my proudest achievements. I’m going to stick with that decision – it was the right one then and it remains so.”

For a communist, income inequality means taking from the rich and dividing it up and giving it to the poor, resulting in everyone being mostly poor and dependents of the government.

Democratic state lawmakers added liberal parts of Brooklyn — including de Blasio’s own neighborhood, Park Slope, a rather pricey, capitalist-loving area — to the traditionally conservative Staten Island, creating a new 11th district under the redistricting plan passed by the state Legislature and signed into law by Gov. Kathy Hochul, who is now obviously as bad a Cuomo without the sexual abuse. 

Young de Blasio wearing his hero shirt

Sources said de Blasio was making collect calls about launching a primary challenge against former Congressman Max Rose, who has already declared he’ll run for his old seat against Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, a Republican representing Staten Island and Brooklyn) who beat Rose in 2020.

I just wish the Democrats enlisted de Blasio to run for President in 2024. A block of wood could beat him.

Since he’s been out of office, comrade de Blasio also abandoned hopes of running for governor this year with Hochul in office. He refusal to follow scientific data about COVID-19 and her far-left ideology is very appealing to Democratic New Yorkers as they tend to vote based on identity politics, not on competence and reason.

But don't feel bad for him. He will always have a job at CNN or MSNBC/

Comrade de Blasio wants to open city-run drugs shooting gallery, first in US

Democratic Communist Mayor Warren Wilhelm Jr., aka Bill de Blasio, has barely enough time to destroy New York City any further with merely four weeks before his term expires, but he's doing all he can to screw the city up even more than he already has.

The city's leader of the Demolition Party is opening the nation's first supervised shooting galleries in upper Manhattan as the city sees a huge spike in overdose deaths and scenes of junkies shooting up and crapping all over public sidewalks. 

And this a-hole ran for president!

“Overdose Prevention Centers are a safe and effective way to address the opioid crisis. I’m proud to show cities in this country that after decades of failure, a smarter approach is possible,” the moronic mayor said in a statement Tuesday.

Can you think of better ways to stop the spread of the opioid crisis?

The centers, in East Harlem and Washington Heights, are expected to open as early as Tuesday at the taxpayer's expense. The locations were chosen based on racism and on alleged “health need and depth of program experience,” according to the Health Department, a title that has earned the right of being labeled an oxymoron. 

The sites will provide clean needles and social workers who will replace police, but users must bring their own drugs just like de Blasio does. 

Hopefully, none of the s**t will be laced with Chinese fentanyl, but if there is, at least the city will not be held liable 

Last year more than 2,000 New Yorkers died of a drug overdose, the highest since the city started tracking the figures in 2000. The most common culprit involved with fatalities is opioids. From January to March of this year, 596 users died and a Health Department "study" found that these sites could save as many as 130 people a year if their s**t isn't laced with fentanyl, their needles are clean, and they don't step out into traffic thinking they are going to get beamed up by Scotty.

De Blasio tried to push the useless taxpayer funded proposal to open a total of four sites in the past, but the cretin was blocked by former Gov. "Handy Andy" Cuomo and former President Trump. 

City Council Minority Leader Joe Borelli (R-Staten Island) was skeptical about the program’s effectiveness.

“British Columbia has lead North America in safe injection sites, all while crossing overdose death milestones every month. How anyone can see this as a solution to a serious problem is beyond me, never mind the concerns of the neighbors,” Borelli told The Post Tuesday.Mayor Bill de Blasio’s past proposals for safe injection sites were blocked by former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and former President Donald Trump.

Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (R-Staten Island and Brooklyn) also criticized the idea of the sites. She noted that the Department of Justice under President Trump said they would violate the federal Controlled Substance Act.

But hey, if the Demolition Party is willing to violate the U.S. Constitution, what's the big deal about a silly Controlled Substance Act?

Finally, let's not pretend New York's incompetent mayor gave a rat's about the rampant daytime drug sprees in city hubs like the Garment District along Seventh Avenue, and theTriangle Plaza Hub in The Bronx. 

The idiot has four lousy weeks to go and he wants to go out with a big middle finger to the naive people who voted this moron into office.

Good riddance, Billy.

Coney Island councilman wants to preserve part of wooden boardwalk and de Blasio remains an idiot

Photo: Rob Hoey

Brooklyn, NY -- Ari Kagan, an incoming City Council member, will be representing Coney Island once he takes office. He plans to fight the tall idiot running the city, Comrade Warren Wilhelm Jr., [aka Bill de Blasio] who wants to replace Coney Island's wooden boardwalk [known formally as the Riegelmann Boardwalk] with a plastic one. And while it isn't known if the plastic will warp from the sun like my toy rifle did when, as a child, I left it in the back window of my dad's car, the idea of replacing the iconic boardwalk with plastic is as vapid and stupid as the man who wants it replaced.

The boardwalk runs from outside the private community known as Seagate, through all of Coney Island, to Brighton Beach, about 2.7 miles total. [Not to inject myself too much into this post, but I have run the length of it hundreds of times in preparation for the NYC Marathon.] 

Kagan is a Democrat and will be replacing Mark Treyger in January. His pronouns are: he, it, zzzt.

The wood has been replaced before and the city wants to replace the existing hardwood with crappy plastic planks and concrete. Kagan wants to preserve the hardwood area that covers Luna Park and its famous Cyclone roller coaster and other attractions. It's basically a five block stretch.

[Fun Fact: the Cyclone ride takes approximately 1 minute and 28 seconds from start to finish--your times may vary based on weight of the screaming occupants.]

“We need to do everything possible to maintain the historical nature of the boardwalk,” Kagan said. 

Two weeks ago comrade de Blasio announced the $114.5 million Parks Department renovation as the first phase of a huge reconstruction of the boardwalk. While the plastic is apparently more durable than wood, it is as aesthetic as the photo below, also taken by me in Coney Island some years ago.

The wooden planks have traditionally come from Brazil.

[Fun Fact: in practicing for the New York City Marathon in 1985, I tripped on a board along the boardwalk due to a nail sticking up and catching my foot. I sprained my ankle and missed running that race and the Long Island Marathon several weeks later. But do you really care?]

The city has not yet decided which part of the walkway to target for phase one, but my bet would be the Seagate area since that beach is less populated in the summer and there would be less disruption.

Once Eric Adams replaces de Blasio as Mayor of New York in January, he will make the decision as to the boardwalk's fate. Kagan says he would like to work with Adams on a solution but for now, Adams has declined comment. 

Parks Department spokes cis gender woman Meghan Lalor defended the city’s plan, saying it “has a long-standing policy of reducing the use of tropical hardwoods.”  Because wood has feelings too.

4 Cowardly thugs attack man in wheelchair, steal his stuff

We are witnessing the decay of our society. Four gutless pieces of human excrement attacked a wheelchair-bound 39-year-old man, began beating him and stole his belongings. on November 8th at around 2:30 a.m.

The attack occurred on November 8th, at around 2:30 a.m. in front of 267 Tremont Avenue in The Bronx. It was apparently sparked by a verbal dispute the man had with an unidentified female, police stated.

Surveillance video shows the man in the wheelchair talking to a male member of the group who then punches him and then drags him out of his wheelchair as the group continue to punch, stomp, and kick him.

The man suffered head and body pain but refused medical attention, for some reason. His iPhone 13 along with $800 in cash was stolen.

It's obvious that the Big Apple has worms crawling throughout its boroughs.

Since this attack up until Nov. 14th, NYPD statistics indicate 352 robberies occurred citywide. Compared to the same period last year, this is a 30.9% increase in crime. Citywide robberies year-to-date were up 2.9%, with 11,699 robberies committed through Nov. 14 compared to 11,373 during the same period last year.

Meanwhile, citywide crime year-to-date rose to 85,558 – a 1.9% increase compared to the same period last year, according to NYPD statistics.

At least the current Mayor, comrade Bill de Blasio, will be out of office and will be replaced by Eric Adams, a Democrat who apparently believes in the rule of law. 

But let's wait and see.

Warren Wilhelm Jr. [aka Comrade Bill de Blasio] plans to run for NY governor

Among his accomplishments are: his ability to hide his wife's $800,000 of taxpayer money for ThriveNYC; his putting city workers out of work who refuse to abide by his COVID vaccine mandate; his miserable presidential campaign debacle; his support of the Sandinista National Liberation Front, a socialist Nicaraguan political party; and his height, Mayor Bill de Blasio [aka Warren Wilhelm Jr.] is reportedly planning to run in the New York 2022 gubernatorial election. 

Two [anonymous] sources told this to the New York Post on Monday. But the sources do not know when the comrade mayor plans to make the announcement as he is winding down his final two months as a failed mayor in the Big Apple.

Speculation over a de Blasio run to fill in the big shoes of former Gov. Andrew Cuomo [aka Handy Andy] ramped up last week after Politico New York said that the 'Big Drink of Water'  had finalized forms for the creation of a candidate committee with the state Board of Elections.

De Blasio gave a Bidenesque response when asked in a Monday night interview with NY1’s Errol Louis about the committee — which doesn’t list his specific future political plans.

"They're asking about the $800 thousand. Where'd you hide it?"

Called “New Yorkers for a Fair Future,” de Blasio replied that the committee “is a vehicle that I’ll be using to get the message out about things we need to do differently in New York City and New York State.”

Without confirming a gubernatorial run, the commie mayor went on about his desire to help move the “state forward,” noting: “There’s a lot of things that need to be fixed in Albany,” like getting rid of capitalism and free speech.

“I’m really looking forward to getting into this bigger discussion about where this state is going,” he told Mr. Louis.

A third source told The Post that de Blasio has been ramping up his outreach to his socialist political allies about jumping into next year’s race. He would join New York Attorney General Letitia Jones, who called for Cuomo's indictment so the office would be vacant and she could jump in as a democratic challenger to incumbent, albeit unelected, Gov. Kathy Hochul. She took over as governor after Handy Andy was forced to resign over several sex scandals. However, he still gets to keep his Emmy Award for best actor.

If de Blasio somehow gets elected, the state will get exactly what they deserve, good and hard.

Comrade De Blasio's last gasp as NYC Mayor to get rid of Trump name at $30M cost to taxpayers

One of the worst mayors New York City has ever had, Bill de Blasio [aka Warren de Blasio-Wilhelm; aka Warren Wilhelm Jr.] hates former President Donald J. Trump so much, that he is on a mission to get rid of the Trump name throughout the city. Of course getting rid of the Trump name will be at the taxpayers' expense and that would come to over $30 million. 

After the Jan. 6 protest at the Capitol, comrade de Blasio vowed to rid the city of one of its most successful real estate developers who went on to become President. Trump's success evidently angered de Blasio since he tried to do the same and failed miserably because most people don't want a Communist POTUS.

But the failed mayor didn't let that stop him from doing what he does best: tear down things and destroy them. So on January 13 de Blasio said he would pull all the Trump Organization's longtime concession contracts that operate the Central Park carousel, the Wollman and Lasker skating rinks [where this writer put on his first pair of ice skates as a kid and fell dozens of times], and the Trump Ferry Point Golf Course in The Bronx, proving de Blasio is an oversized, jealous idiot.

“This president has committed an unlawful act, he has disgraced himself, he will no longer profit from his relationship with New York City,” de Blasio whined to reporters. But while de Blasio is willing to strip away the Trump name at on the taxpayer's dime, if he had waited until spring, the contracts would have expired anyway and he could have just refused to renew them.

The campaign, like de Blasio's policies in general, went down the bowl right from the start. Getting rid of Trump's involvement would have closed the two skating rinks six weeks early in the skating season and would have angered skaters as a result. City Hall had to walk it back and allowed the contract to run its course, making de Blasio look like a big buffoon.

Now with the contracts going to new operators, Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment, Equinox and Related Companies in July, the rates shot up. Under Trump, a family of four paid $95 to enter; under the new operators they pay $109. Congratulations, New York. You deserve what you got good and hard.

There was nobody to operate the Central Park for all of the 2021 summer season. The de Blasio crew finally got Central Amusement International, the company that operates Luna Park in Coney Island, Brooklyn, to run it for five years in late July. It finally reopened October 16.

The Wollman rink is now under construction and will re-open in November under new management. 

But the bigger clusterfrack is the court battle over the effort to evict Trump from the Bronx golf course.

The Trump Organization claims in its lawsuit opposing the termination that it is entitled to over $30 million in reimbursements if they get the boot. De Blasio hates Trump so much that he might be willing to have the taxpayer foot the bill, despite Comptroller Scott Stringer requesting a time out in the rushed process.

“I’m just learning of this and have to look at that and find out exactly what this is about,” Eric Adams, the mayoral-race frontrunner and former cop, told The New York Post regarding the city possibly being on the hook for tens of millions. Adams is running against Republican Curtis Sliwa, the founder of the Guardian Angels.

The Bronx golf course known as Trump Ferry Point, was built on a garbage dump that closed in the 1960s. It took 14 years to develop--perhaps due to the wait for the odor to subside--and finally opened in 2015. It was New York's newest golf course and then-Mayor Mike "Short Round" Bloomberg asked Trump to take over the management and construction due to his company's experience with such projects. It reportedly cost $269 million to build. Trump added a 20,000-foot clubhouse in 2018 which he says cost $10 million.

The city’s termination notice issued in February, for Trump’s Ferry Point contract still had 13 years to run. The notice stated it was “because the Trump brand is now synonymous with an insurrection against the federal government” and can no longer attract tournaments. But no tournament was ever promised as per the contract, only a “tournament quality course.”

And what happened on Jan. 6 was not an insurrection when you consider what happened across the country during the Antifa/BLM "protests." If you're looking for an actual insurrection, look no further than Portland, Seattle, New York City, and Minneapolis, for starters.

In recent state Supreme Court filings, the city doubled down and told the judge that if it can’t terminate “for cause” based on the Capitol insurrection, it would use the boilerplate “at will” clause because Bill de Blasio is an oversized baby whose only concern is getting personal revenge and not for the 150 jobs that would be lost under a new operator.

The course is used by many people in the community and also Bronx organizations, some of whom spoke passionately at a city Franchise and Concession Review Committee hearing earlier this month.

In spite of the pleas, the panel plans to hand the course over to a Georgia-based operator under a 13-year contract beginning in November. The 4-2 vote to approve the changeover came despite the objections from residents and Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz, Jr.

This is de Blasio's parting shot at Trump, but it's also a parting shot at the city's residents who voted this weasel into office.

To date this year, the Trump course has hosted 25,220 rounds of golf and grossed far more than $8.2 million — double what was made during the pandemic shutdowns in 2020 and $1 million more than in 2018 — and the course expected to reach $10 million by the end of the year.

The course attracts players from across the globe because it boasts the legend Jack Nicklaus' "Signature Design." De Blasio and his cronies seemed to have ignored their agreement with Nicklaus' company that gives them a "veto" over who operates the course. And if they strip the Nicklaus name from it, there's going to be a serious financial hit taken by the city just to stroke de Blasio's ego.

Nicklaus Companies CEO John Reese said in an Oct. 12 letter to the committee, “We have no desire to become entangled in city politics; however, we are unhappy with the prospect of having The Trump Organization summarily removed,” adding that Park Commissioner Mitchell Silver never responded to a Feb. 16 letter.

Bill de Blasio does not have his head stuck in a sand trap--he has it stuck in his nether regions.

CDC still hiding COVID data regarding mask reversal

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention [an oxymoron when it comes to COVID-19] issued new guidance that fully vaccinated people from the coronavirus should wear masks indoors in spite of the conflicting messages Pope Fauci had previously made public. 

If the vaccine protects us from the virus, then why should masks be worn? After all, if vaccinated people choose not to wear a mask and are willing to take the chance they might get reinfected with less chance of dying from coronavirus, then what is the problem?

Also, if you choose to take your chances with not getting vaccinated, that should be your right. And if you don't want your child getting the shot because they have a better chance of dying from the flu or suicide, that should be a parent's right, not a government mandate.

But the CDC is mandating a new guidance and refusing to show their work as to how they came to that conclusion. Their lack of clarity and obvious political inclinations as to how they base their decisions seems more likely to emanate from a totalitarian ideology than a scientific one. 

I had the jabs, I will not wear a mask because I cannot infect you and you cannot infect me. If you don't want the jabs, that's on you and I respect your decision even if I disagree with it. Why doesn't the government do the same?

And what's with Speaker Pelosi (D) with her cloth designer masks? The CDC says that cloth masks are basically useless, much like the Speaker herself. 

The idea that masks must be worn practically at all times is a deterrent for those who may have been weighing on whether to get vaccinated. What's the point if nothing changes?

"While the CDC issued their guidance yesterday at about 3 p.m., they have not yet released their scientific reports on the data that underlies their recommendation," New York City Health and Hospitals President and CEO Mitchell Katz said at a Wednesday press conference with Comrade Mayor Bill de Blasio, one of the top worst Democratic mayors of major US cities.

Supported the Sandinista cause

"I think we owe it to New Yorkers to very carefully, as you say, review that information and understand its implications," Katz added. "Our focus has to be on getting people vaccinated."

"We're assessing the information. What really is important is to assess the research behind it. Which is what our team is doing," de Blasio said when asked why the city is delaying any action to mandate mask-wearing for vaccinated folks. "We've got to make sure we understand the ramifications and what makes sense to do."

For de Blasio, it would be to resign and take up blow-painting with Hunter Biden.

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, a Harvard graduate, explained that the reason for the CDC's reversal on indoor masking for vaccinated people is because "in rare occasions, some vaccinated people infected with the delta variant after vaccination may be contagious and pass the virus to others."

[In rate occasions sober people driving within the speed limit get into fatal accidents. Does that mean we should prevent people from driving altogether, or perhaps make a federal speed limit of 5 miles per hour to prevent deaths? Harvard has become a joke.] 

They "may be contagious," Walensky said, because "the amount of virus" in vaccinated people infected by the delta variant "is pretty similar to the amount of virus in unvaccinated people."

But what's the mortality rate? If the symptoms are mild and practically nobody dies, who gives a crap? Should we wear masks forever because, you know, the flu, the common cold, the Democrats?

"The vast majority of transmission is occurring through unvaccinated individuals," Walensky said Tuesday. But, she added, "we thought it was important for [vaccinated] people to understand that they could pass the disease onto someone else." 

Yes, someone who decided to not get vaccinated because they have the right not to put something into their body. Whatever happened to "my body, my choice?" It's only true for the left when it's convenient.

Lastly, want to fight the COVID crisis in the United States? Stop undiagnosed illegal aliens from coming into the country with their high percentage of the virus.

If the GOP can't win back both Houses, they are useless and we will deserve what we get.

NYC Mayor comrade de Blasio mandates covid vaccinations for bourgeoisie hospital workers

Comrade Bill de Blasio [alias Warren Wilhelm Jr.]

Comrade Mayor of New York City, Bill de Blasio has decided to mandate all public hospital and health clinic staff be forced to get vaccinated against COVID-19 even if they don't want to for religious reasons and other misgivings. "Too bad; if I had to get vaccinated, I can make public city workers get vaccinated too. Why should I have to be the only one to get jabbed?" the former U.S. presidential candidate and professional idiot said to himself.

The order from de Blasio Wilhelm is probably going to be announced either today, Wednesday, or tomorrow. It will include Health and Hospital employees and those from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene's public clinics, where de Blasio ought to consider.

In spite of the huge decrease in the number of deaths from the coronavirus, comrade de Blasio is trying to stop COVID forever, and if it takes forever to do that, so be it. People don't have the right to decide whether to take the vaccination or not because 'the science.'

Young children have a better chance of dying from the flu or a lightning strike in their basements than dying from the coronavirus, and adults who have been fully vaccinated have very little chance of contracting the virus or dying from it. Also, kids and vaccinated adults apparently don't pass the virus on so if a person is willing to not get vaccinated, that should be his or her choice, or whatever freaking pronouns they choose.

De Blasio, who will finally be gone from the mayor's office this year, is frustrated and terrified over the new Delta variant--a more contagious, but less deadly form of covid. The city's vaccination rollout has been slow and less than 60 percent of Health and Hospital staff are fully vaccinated, telling us that perhaps they know something we don't know, or just don't want to have a substance shot into their body.

Whatever happened to "my body, my choice?" It seems to only matter when it helps to make their point.

But when you're an idiot mayor, you tend to discount reality and put your feelings first and use the power of your office to dictate to the peons whether they agree or not.

The comrade mayor promised his administration would be making “making additional announcements” about stepping up the city’s vaccination drive in the coming days during his Tuesday briefing, as he was inundated with questions about the matter.

“This is literally a matter of life and death,” the idiot said hyperbolically. “At a certain point, personal responsibility actually matters.” 

But not personal choice.

Comrade Mayor de Blasio isn't concerned about NYC's spike in crime

Big Apple Mayor and faithful Comrade Bill de Blasio [whose real name is Warren Wilhelm, Jr.]  doubled down Friday on his logic-defying decision to not hire more cops in spite of the huge surge in crime in New York City, and even after acting President Joe Biden,  provided federal tax dollars for the increase in policing for large, Democrat-run cities that have seen violent crimes go through the proverbial roof.

Meanwhile, de Blasio has an armed security force that shields him from those problems.

He was asked about his feckless decision not to increase the police force's ability to fight crime after the city received $6 billion in federal COVID-19 relief. Biden even mumbled that the money could be used for dealing with crime issues, but the Communist mayor told Brian Lehrer of WNYC "That's not the whole reality."

"The money that the president focused was for certain cities that were dealing with much more profound gun-violence problems than New York is," de Blasio said, pretending that the city he poorly runs has not been affected by a crime wave.

"We have a problem, Brian. I’m not trying to minimize it. We have a lot of work to do to turn around. But a number of other American cities unfortunately are going through much, much worse, and that’s where that money was targeted," de Blasio lied.

And speaking of money, we still don't know what happened to the $850 million his wife was given by the taxpayers to deal with the city's mental health issues. And if anything, the mental health of New Yorkers is in a down-spiral.

De Blasio blatantly Thursday claiming the Biden was mumbling about other cities, not New York, when he mentioned federal coronavirus funding could be used to pay for more police. In fact, a White House source who wishes to be anonymous based on the cancel culture mentality sweeping the nation, said that de Blasio was "incorrect," which is politispeak for "lying."

"Cities like New York that are experiencing a spike in gun violence as a result of the pandemic are eligible to use [the] money to hire additional police officers above a pre-pandemic baseline level to help address that," the anonymous source said.

But City Hall pointed to data that compared the number of shootings in the Big Apple to other major cities on a per-capita basis, which showed New York had the fewest number of shootings per 100,000 residents. So if New York had more shootings than another city, but the other city had fewer residents, that would be just super for de Blasio's way of thinking. What an idiot.

New York's data doesn't include annual rates of shooting increases. Its own figures show that shootings in New York are actually up 64.8 percent — more than any other city listed except for Baltimore, where gun violence has risen 84.2 percent. And based on City Hall's statistics, Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, Newark, NJ, and Philadelphia have smaller increases than New York, proving once again that de Blasio is, if fact, an idiot.

New York City's budget of $98.7 billion for next year added $200 million to the NYPD budget after having slashed it $1 billion last year, but the new money will not be used for hiring more police.

Last week, Biden mush-mouthed that the billions of dollars handed out through his "American Rescue Plan" can be used by cities "experiencing an increase in gun violence … to hire police officers needed for community policing and to pay their overtime."

On Friday, comrade de Blasio said,  "Right now we have a police force of 35,000, I think that’s the right number, we need to take those officers and continue to apply a neighborhood policing approach, re-bond police and community."

"There were real challenges last year, we have to overcome them with more dialogue, more working together, more reliance on community based solutions to violence, I think we are hitting the right balance point."

And New Yorkers think you are unbalanced, Bill, and yes, many New Yorkers think you are an idiot, in case I forgot to mention it.

Crimes committed with guns across all five boroughs has soared over 40 percent thus far in 2021. They're shooting people in broad daylight in Times Square and the Bronx. Kids are being caught in the crossfire of gangs whose AR-15s are actually illegal handguns. And you refuse to hire more police in spite of having the money to do that. 

Perhaps you have more personal plans with the money, comrade.

AOC: to stop crime, stop building prisons; to stop sickness, stop building hospitals

You don't have to be a genius to know that Rep. Alexandria Obviously-Comatose (D-NY) is a functioning imbecile. Her solution to stem the surge of violent crime is to stop building prisons. 

Using Comatose's logic, the best way to fight sickness is to stop building hospitals; to stop stupidity, get rid of the Democratic Party. Okay, the last one wasn't her idea.

With calls for defunding, and thus abolishing the police nation-wide, violent crime has risen faster than Joe Biden's libido at a junior high school dance. In Chicago, with Democratic Mayor Lori Lightfoot, shootings are up 36% over last year with homicides up by 19%. But if Illinois would only get rid of their prisons and police, criminals would realize they have no place to go if they somehow get caught by a concerned social worker and will forgo doing the crime because he can't do the time.

Makes perfect sense . . . if you''re an imbecile.

In South Carolina, murders were up about 25% in 2020 from 2019; and the 571 murders are the highest total since the state started recording those numbers back in 1960. 

As of May 7, homicides in Atlanta, GA, where Democrat Keisha Lance Bottoms is mayor, are up approximately 60% compared to the same time period last year. 

Across 34 U.S. cities, a study shows that homicides have jumped by 24% in the first quarter of this year compared to the same time period last year, and they are up 49% compared to the first quarter of 2019. And in 63 of 66 largest cities in the U.S., increases in at least one category of violent crimes have increased in 2020.

In AOC's New York City, the murder rate soared by 47% last year, and now it's up 17% this year. Best solution: get rid of cops and prisons and the statistics will show no crime reported. AOC claims the reason crime went up last year was because people were shoplifting bread.

Yes, she is an imbecile, but a socialist imbecile, so that's okay, she thinks.

 Speaking to the reason(s) crime had spike, AOC said: "Maybe this has to do with the fact that people aren't paying their rent and are scared to pay their rent. And so they go out and they need to feed their child and they don't have money so you... maybe have to... they're put in a position... they feel like they either need to shoplift some bread or go hungry that night."

Yes, just ask any 18-year-old gangbanger why he shot up a liquor store or looted a Target or Walmart and he'll tell you it's to feed his child and pay the rent because, hey, you never want to get behind in the rent.

Violent crime recorded in NYC show that shootings are up 73% over last year at the same time and there has been a 35% increase in grand larceny and 20% rise in felony assault.

 On Thursday, Ocasio-Cortez presented a solution to the daunting explosion of violent crime.

"If we want to reduce the number of people in our jails, the answer is to stop building more of them. … It's to support communities, not throw them away," the cretin in lipstick said at a press conference.

She continued, "Our complete gutting of support in our mental health system both in this city and across the country is absolutely correlated with both homelessness and incidents of violent crime."

"It is not acceptable for us to use jails as garbage bins for human beings," AOC added. "We need to treat people and see them as human," [excluding Republicans]. 

"The answer is to make sure we actually build more hospitals, we pay organizers, we get people mental health care," she said. "It's to support communities, not throw them away."

Thus, AOC is assuming that all people who commit violent crimes are mentally ill or poor. She fails to understand the fun rioters and gangbangers have looting and shooting, because she her thinking is either too simplistic or her agenda is to destroy the current American systems of justice that exist.

Some on social media recognized the depth of AOC's stupidity and reacted.

National Review senior writer David Harsanyi ridiculed AOC's proposal, "I am going to stop buying scales. It's the only real way to lose weight."




Freelance journalist Zaid Jilani reacted by saying, "This is actually really wrong, many prisoners are overcrowded and antiquated, simply blocking the construction of new ones is inhumane. And you can talk all you want about just having fewer prisoners but you aren't going to get any significant drop overnight, everyone knows that."

"I'm not playing coy or anything like that. I'm still very much in a place where I'm trying to decide what is the most effective thing I can do to help our Congress, our [political] process, and our country actually address the issues of climate change, health care, wage inequality, etc.," she said, after noting how badly her own grandmother has it in Puerto Rico but failing to help her on a personal level, instead blaming Trump.

AOC, who some believe may actually be mentally challenged but hides it very well, has also called for defunding the police and previously attacked New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio's (D) proposal to cut nearly $1 billion from the New York City Police Department by saying it doesn't go far enough, and "defunding police means defunding police." In other words, abolishing the police altogether.

Yeah, that should lower the crime rate.

U.S. vets in NYC livid at comrade de Blasio for blocking Memorial Day Parade but allowing Cannabis Parade

Seriously, if veterans don't challenge this piece of political shoe goo, Mayor Bill de Blasio [aka Warren Wilhelm, Jr.] over the "equal protection clause" in which he clearly gives preference to one group over another, then we veterans don't deserve to march in the Memorial Day Parade.

A group of New York City veterans are frustrated and pissed at Democratic Communist New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio for blocking a permit for Staten Island’s 102nd annual Memorial Day parade.

But the cretin mayor allowed demonstrators to march in the Cannabis Parade on Mayday. 

“It’s a slap in the face,” Jamie Gonzalez, 57, a Marine infantryman who saw combat during Operation Desert Storm, told the New York Post.

Actually, it's kind of more like a bilateral orchiectomy--the surgical removal of both testicles. 

“For many of us, a parade is a form of closure,” Gonzalez added. “We gather together and support each other.”

Gulf War veterans such as Gonzalez were slated to receive special recognition during this year’s parade to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the conflict, but the city denied a permit to the United Staten Island Veterans Organization, which is comprised of 16 local veterans groups that have sponsored the annual march for decades. The New York Police Department informed the organizers of the parade that the march had to be restricted under de Blasio’s emergency executive order on public events.

The NYPD should turn their backs on the marchers and let them march, like they turned their backs on de Blasio at a cop's funeral, for not supporting them.

“I’m incensed,” Ted Cohen, 82, an Air Force reservist during the Cuban Missile Crisis, told the New York Post. “It’s pathetic.”

In addition to the May 1 march for marijuana, other outdoor marches and events have taken place in New York City since the pandemic began, such as a St. Patrick’s Day parade and the Black Lives Matter protests, both of which Bill de Scumwafer joined.

I could go on and on, point out the blatant hypocrisy, like de Blasio's participation in the George Floyd "East Harlem Pray and Protest" event, but it's just words when actions are needed.

An unnamed official told the New York Post, “People are just marching. That’s the new normal. The Staten Island people had the decorum and respect to go the proper way [and] they are suffering for their civic-mindedness. No one else is even asking permission.”

In a letter sent to the NYPD on Friday, attorney Brendan Lantry demanded a parade permit by Monday and pointed to the Cannabis Parade as precedent.

“Under the equal protection clause, it’s unconstitutional for the city to pick and choose between groups like this,” Lantry wrote in part. “There’s a clear double standard going on here.”

Our veterans have every right to march in honor of their service. They need to defy the mayor when the mayor defies civility and American patriotism. 

March, Forrest. March!
