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.

Comrade de Blasio points finger at tiny virus for weekend gun violence: makes perfect sense if you're an idiot

De Blasio and wife

The First Place Winner of the Nation's Worst Mayor of a Major City, Comrade Bill "My Real Name is Warren" de Blasio (D), does not blame the surge in gun violence over the weekend on the shooters who shot people, he blames the shootings on the Chinese Communist Wuhan coronavirus.

Brilliant!

While pointing his finger elsewhere, he also defended the city's policing reforms and pretended to keep New York City "the safest big city in America." This is known in intellectual circles as complete bull crap.

The mayor, whose only accomplishment is his height, held a press conference Monday after at least eight people were killed and over 44 others shot and injured in a city with some of the country's toughest gun laws.

“I want to talk about what happened this weekend," the idiot began. "Many were out there celebrating, but we saw too much violence, and we have a lot of work to do to address it,” de Blasio said, while adding that “there is not one cause for something like this.”

He also never explained just what the right amount of violence is acceptable. Probably burning buildings, looting and destroying statues.

“This is directly related to coronavirus,” the idiot mayor said. “This is a very serious situation… As we’re getting into warmer and warmer weather, we’re feeling the effects of people being cooped up for months, the economy hasn’t restarted – we have a real problem here.”

Yeah, the virus. It's the virus. Oh, and Trump.

De Blasio vowed to “double down” to address the violence, which included shootings in Brooklyn, the Bronx and upper Manhattan, noting that it was going to take “neighborhood policing” as opposed to actual policing, and cooperation from clergy and elected officials.

I can hear the priest calling out to Johnny who's holed up in an abandoned building that Black Lives Matter burned down. "C'mon out, Johnny. Give it up--the coppers got the place surrounded."

"They'll never take me alive, Foddah," Johnny shouts back.

A social worker crouches behind Father McMannus and calls out to Johnny, "I know how this makes you feel. It's unfair how they treat you and I totally understand your situation. Tell me, what are you thinking now?"

"F**k you. I don't wanna hear your s**t. Get outta here."

Back to de Blasio.

“This is all hands on deck,” de Blasio cliched, while adding that the city has “been dealt a really tough hand.”

Yes, the city has been dealt a really tough hand, but they were playing Solitaire and elected a schmuck to run it while his wife, Chirlane McCray, launched ThriveNYC in 2015, taking $1 billion to fund a project to overhaul New York's mental health and substance abuse services. The program was criticized by Politico for having an "opaque budget" and "elusive metrics." The results were zero and to date, there is still nearly $850 million in funding still unaccounted for, and Bronx Councilman Ritchie Torres criticized ThriveNYC, saying that there was "no evidence it’s working."

Brilliant!

To add to the brilliant leadership we are witnessing in the city, last month, the NYPD announced it was disbanding its anti-crime unit and reassigning hundreds of plainclothes officers to other divisions amid widespread criticism over the department’s handling of protesters.  Commissioner Dermot Shea said roughly 600 plainclothes officers from the anti-crime unit would be reassigned to other teams where they can help the community get that cat out of the tree that grows in Brooklyn.

“We [became] the safest big city in America. We will keep that title,” de Blasio said. “We will not go back and that’s the work we will do together in New York City.”

He was referring to when Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg were mayor.

Mini Mike lies about gun background checks during Fox News town hall

"Go and get me my pudding, you billionaire"

Billionaire Democratic presidential candidate [Mini] Mike Bloomberg knows as much about guns as blowfish know about algebra.

On Monday at a Fox News town hall, the former New York mayor, known best for his ban on large gulp sodas and stance on the Second Amendment, said that background checks are not required to be done on gun show sales or over the internet. He falsely claimed that background checks on sales at gun stores require these checks, but not in the other two cases.

"You cannot buy a gun in a gun store where they won't do a background check. And all they do is look for those three categories—if you're a minor, if you have psychiatric problems, or if you have a criminal record," Bloomberg said, personally qualifying in the second aforementioned criteria. "The law does not apply to guns sold over the internet or in gun shows."

Federally licensed gun dealers are required by federal law to conduct background checks on gun sales, regardless of where they take place. Under federal law, non-licensed individuals are not required to conduct background checks on intrastate gun sales between one another.

There is no special exception in federal law for sales made at gun stores or over the internet. Some states require background checks on non-licensed sales as well, and gun-control advocates want a federal law requiring the same, so Bloomberg is talking out of his nether regions and continues to screw up the basic facts on the gun debate, proving that in this great country of ours, even a moron can become a billionaire.

Bloomberg consistently screws up the way the background check system works and also tends to make up a "loophole" in the federal gun laws. His crazy claims about youth firearm ownership and his ongoing misstatements show that his "life's work" needs a workover.

He even went on during the town hall to throw the bull and say that federal law doesn't apply to internet and gun show sales because the internet and gun shows did not exist when the federal background check law was passed in 1993.

Maybe it's time for Bloomberg to step down from the apple crate and bow out. But hey, I'm not a Democrat and, according to Donna Brazile [aka Hillary Clinton's question provider], I better keep my mouth shut and mind my business. After all, it isn't as if Democrats ever say anything about GOP campaigns. Right?

Tingles Matthews AWOL from MSNBC after sexism allegations and Biden-ish screwups

Chris "Tingles" Matthews was not seen on MSNBC during the South Carolina primary coverage on Saturday night. Normally, this would be considered unusual under normal circumstances but the absence comes one day after he was accused of "sexist" behavior by a former network contributor, and on the same day, he misidentified a politician.

Earlier in the week, Matthews had issued an on-air apology after drawing backlash for comparing the Nevada caucus victory of Sen. Bernie Sanders to the 1940 invasion of France by the Nazis. What he probably meant was that Sanders' victory was more like Vladimir Lenin's Bolshevik revolution of 1917.

Matthews said, “I'm reading last night about the fall of France in the summer of 1940," Matthews said during the network's Nevada coverage. "And the general calls up Churchill and says, ‘It’s over,’ and Churchill says, ‘How can it be? You got the greatest army in Europe. How can it be over?’ He said, ‘It's over.’”

His ten viewers were outraged by the comments -- and Matthews apologized Monday.

"Senator Sanders, I'm sorry for comparing anything from that tragic era in which so many suffered, especially the Jewish people, to an electorate result in which you were the well-deserved winner," Matthews said. "This is going to be a hard-fought, heated campaign of ideas. In the days and weeks and months ahead, I will strive to do a better job myself of elevating the political discussion. Congratulations, by the way, to you, Senator Sanders, and to your supporters on a tremendous win down in Nevada."

In an op-ed for GQ magazine on Friday, journalist Laura Bassett claimed Matthews used sexist language when she visited the MSNBC studio to appear on his show as a guest.

She recalled the fast-talking white man looking at her in an adjacent makeup chair before an appearance in 2016 and, showing a lack of self-awareness asked: 'Why haven’t I fallen in love with you yet?'" Bassett said that something didn't smell right as she sat there.

Bassett said she laughed nervously at the stupid question but Tingles kept making comments to the makeup artist who was buffing Bassett up. “Keep putting makeup on her, I’ll fall in love with her," Matthews allegedly exclaimed breathlessly, as beads of perspiration cascaded down his forehead onto his nose and down to his quivering married lips.

Bassett also claimed that Matthews made another comment about her makeup during a separate appearance. "Make sure you wipe this off her face after the show,” she wrote. The comment was directed at the makeup artist. “We don’t make her up so some guy at a bar can look at her like this.”

Bassett felt hounded by Matthews and said she decided to write the op-ed because of a “sexist” interview the creep did with Sen. Elizabeth Warren [aka Pocahontas], (D-MA), after the last debate in which he pressed her about her accusation that former New York Mayor "Mini" Mike Bloomberg has once told a woman at his company to “kill” her unborn baby. Bloomberg denies he said it, and even if he did, why would it bother Warren since she and the rest of her party are all in for killing babies?

A feminist group wearing comfortable shoes has called for Matthews' firing over the interview.

Bassett barked that she wrote a similar op-ed in 2017 without naming Matthews because she was afraid to publicly accuse him at the time, but claimed that many women reached out to her saying they knew who she was talking about because they too had been the victims of the Matthews innuendos.

Bassett said that she had a bone to pick with Matthews. Although she didn't think his behavior rose to the level of criminal sexual harassment, it interfered with her ability to do her job and she wanted the "bad boy" punished.

In 2017, it was reported that NBC paid $40,000 to a producer on Matthews’ show who claimed he sexually harassed her. [And all the while you thought only Fox News had this problem because the media only went after that network.]

MSNBC has not confirmed the amount paid to the woman, nor has the network said whether the payment was made to settle a harassment claim, but it appears that it wasn't only Barack Obama who gave Chris Matthews that famous tingle down his leg.

An MSNBC spokes-leftist said at the time that executives were told that Matthews made inappropriate jokes and comments about the woman in front of others, that the matter was reviewed and it was determined the comments were inappropriate and made in poor taste but were never meant as propositions because he is a semi-happily married man.

Then during his "Hardball" [perhaps a double-entendre] broadcast Friday, Matthews mistook Sen. Tim Scott, (R-SC), for Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Jaime Harrison, chalking it up as a case of "it's hard to tell the difference." Both Scott and Harrison are African-American gentlemen.

Harrison was appearing on "Hardball" to discuss his campaign to unseat Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), but when Matthews ran a clip of Scott standing beside Graham at the evening's Trump rally in North Charleston, he assumed it was Harrison.

"Jaime, I see you standing next to the guy you're going to beat right there, maybe," he said. "Maybe? Maybe, maybe? Lindsey Graham?"

Matthews finally realized his error and apologized to Harrison.

"What am I saying? Big mistake. Mistaken identity, sir. Sorry," Matthews said.

Harrison rolled his eyes and looked shocked, but he kept a politician's fake smile on his face.

Bloomberg: digs a hole, grows a cow

Presidential candidate, former New York City Mayor and billionaire Michael Bloomberg is not only short in stature, he's short in character. One could also make the argument that he's short in foresight because he has said things that have come back to bite him in the butt and should hurt his chances at winning the Democratic nomination.

In 2016, Bloomberg made ignorant comments that belittled both farmers and factory workers, [not to mention his history of making misogynistic and anti-African-American comments]:

"The agrarian society lasted 3,000 years and we could teach processes. I could teach anybody, even people in this room, no offense intended, to be a farmer. It's a process. You dig a hole, you put a seed in, you put dirt on top, add water, up comes the corn. You could learn that. Then we had 300 years of the industrial society. You put the piece of metal on the lathe, you turn the crank in the direction of the arrow and you can have a job. And we created a lot of jobs. At one point, 98 percent of the world worked in agriculture, now it's 2 percent in the United States. 

"Now comes the information economy and the information economy is fundamentally different because it's built around replacing people with technology and the skill sets that you have to learn are how to think and analyze, and that is a whole degree level different. You have to have a different skill set, you have to have a lot more gray matter. It's not clear the teachers can teach or the students can learn, and so the challenge of society of finding jobs for these people, who we can take care of giving them a roof over their head and a meal in their stomach and a cell phone and a car and that sort of thing. But the thing that is the most important, that will stop them from setting up a guillotine someday, is the dignity of a job."

That works great if you want to grow one corn stalk, but it shows Bloomberg's ignorance about farming and factory work. Just because he is a manure spreader doesn't make him an expert on farming.

He concluded his point, saying, "the problem is not the redistribution of wealth, it is the job where you go in every day."

Bloomberg was speaking at the Distinguished Speakers Series at the University of Oxford Saïd Business School. He was answering a question about whether it's possible to unite middle America with the coasts.

One of the issues standing in the way of the unification, Bloomberg said, was the inability of blue-collar workers to adapt to the information economy even if they have their education subsidized.

Social media exploded with anger over the video that went viral. The Bernie Sanders socialist organization "People for Bernie" tweeted:

"Time and again we see Bloomberg insulting the middle class and the working class, union members and not yet union members. Maybe it's time for pundits to stop pretending he's just another candidate. Bloomberg is an oligarch spending his play money to buy the White House."

Since an oligarch generally pertains to Russian rulers, Bernie's bros should be supporting Bloomberg, but they obviously want a different potential oligarch named Bernie Sanders.

Bloomberg, who said that he is willing to spend $1 billion or more on his presidential campaign, is counting on his advertising advantage to put him over the top in Super Tuesday states after deciding to skip Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina.

Sanders, who never had a real job outside of his taxpayer funded government job, is willing to spend the people's money to get elected. Now that he is a millionaire, he no longer goes after millionaires in his stump speeches, he only attacks billionaires, as if they are evil and communism, which is responsible for the deaths of a hundred million people, is merely a form of charity.

Ironically, Bloomberg is apparently thinking of making another misogynist, Hillary Clinton, his running mate. He is grasping at straws, and California has outlawed them.

Bloomberg dug his own hole and all he grew was a cow.

Bloomberg says he never was inappropriate with female employees in spite of overwhelming evidence

Evil billionaire [according to Democrats who used to think even millionaires were evil until it was discovered that Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders were millionaires] Michael Bloomberg, a Democratic presidential candidate and former mayor of New York City, does not think he made mistakes with his female employees. But there have been numerous complaints and lawsuits of sexism and harassment that curiously have emerged before the Dems nominate a candidate who will lose to President Trump in 2020.

An ABC News "reporter" asked Bloomberg on Sunday, "Do you think you made any mistakes in the way you treated female employees at your company?"

"I don't. Not everybody's happy, but we have an enviable record of treating people the same in terms of compensation and promotions and authority," Bloomberg said.

The evil billionaire's company, Bloomberg L.P., has received numerous legal complaints of workplace discrimination and harassment dating back decades. Some of the complaints are against Bloomberg himself, but he denies any wrongdoing.

Democrats would like to impeach him but he hasn't even been nominated yet. If somehow he is nominated, they will support him.

The 5 foot 6 inch Bloomberg is alleged to have made myriad sexist remarks in his illustrious business career, some which are displayed in the 1990 booklet, "Wit and Wisdom," which contains many off-color quips that are attributed to the successful businessman/evil billionaire.

In addition to the sexist remarks, Sekiko Sakai, who worked for Bloomberg from 1989 to 1995, has also alleged that he told her to "kill it" when she announced her pregnancy.

Bloomberg is facing increasing pressure from declining presidential rival Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) to release current and former female employees from their strict nondisclosure agreements while she refuses to release her financial records when she worked as an attorney for companies she now bad-mouths.

"I think NDAs are a way for people to hide bad things they've done," Warren said, after DNA revealed her to be a liar about her so-called Native American heritage. "And I think that women should be able to speak. They need to be released from NDAs."

But NDAs or Non Disclosure Agreements are also used to protect the intellectual property of companies, something that most Democrats know nothing about as they have neither ran a company or hired an employee outside of government.

Although Bloomberg's spokeswoman Julie Wood defended Bloomberg on his treatment of women, she did acknowledge that "[Bloomberg] has come to see that some of what he has said is disrespectful and wrong," adding that "his words have not always aligned with his values." 

In other words, Wood is saying that what comes out of Bloomberg's mouth has little to do with what he really thinks. So if he tells a woman to go kill her baby, what he really is saying, "I believe in the sanctity of motherhood."

It reminds us of Nancy Pelosi when asked if she hated the president and she said that as a Catholic she was taught not to hate anyone and she resents the implication. But wasn't Pelosi also taught that as a Catholic, you don't go killing a baby in the womb?

Yeah, okay, believe all Democrats.

Trump bans Bloomberg News from events due to unethical coverage

Billionaire nanny state leader, former Republican mayor of New York and current Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg has declared himself a 12th hour entry into the presidential race and announced a company-wide memo to his "journalists," They will not be allowed to do their journalistic due diligence and cannot report on any Democratic primary candidates, but Trump is fair game. Also, Bloomberg does not believe China's dictator, Xi, is a dictator, but that's another story.

Bloomberg's editor-in-chief, John Micklethwait, made the announcement about the outlet's policy of not reporting on Democrats, but there may be a question as to whether this amounts to an in kind donation to Bloomberg's campaign since they will be trying to dig up dirt on Trump.

The Compromised News Network (CNN) obtained the memo Micklethwait put out: 

“We cannot treat Mike's [Bloomberg’s] Democratic competitors differently than him. For the moment, our P&I team will continue to investigate the Trump administration, as the government of the day. If Mike emerges as the Democratic presidential candidate (and Donald Trump emerges as the Republican one), we will reassess how we do that.”

It seems like Bloomberg doesn't see the problem with the fact that he owns a media outlet and plans to go after his opponent in a presidential campaign. And he fails to see the irony in Trump wanting to find out whether the Bidens were guilty of corruption in Ukraine and China, in spite of the fact that Joe Biden was a Democratic nominee for 2020.

The Trump 2020 campaign manager, Brad Parscale, has called the decision “to formalize preferential reporting policies” both “troubling and wrong.”

“Bloomberg News has declared that they won’t investigate their boss or his Democrat competitors, many of whom are current holders of high office, but will continue critical reporting on President Trump,” Parscale said in a statement, according to Axios. “As President Trump’s campaign, we are accustomed to unfair reporting practices, but most news organizations don’t announce their biases so publicly.”

So the Trump administration appropriately hit back at the Bloomberg decision.

“Since they have declared their bias so openly, the Trump campaign will no longer credential representatives of Bloomberg News for rallies or other campaign events,” Parscale said. “We will determine whether to engage with individual reporters or answer inquiries from Bloomberg News on a case-by-case basis.”

How can anyone in good conscience blame them?

Kathy Kiely, a former editor at Bloomberg News, says she resigned after receiving similar instructions from the agency in 2016, when Bloomberg was also mulling a presidential run, according to CNN. And one can imagine that any decent reporter would have a problem with that directive.

“The same sort of directions were given, only it was not yet an official campaign, but I felt that that wasn’t ethical, and it was just an untenable situation for me as the assigning editor to be in,” said Kiely. “Unfortunately, they’ve had four years to think about this, and they haven’t come up with a better solution. I’m really sorry to see this.”

Ethics isn't completely dead in journalism.

Kiely them made a joke and called the press “a public trust”  insisting that “most people who own news organizations understand” that they aren’t designed to serve the owners, but rather to serve the general public.

Nobody laughed.

Hypocrisy Alert

Former New York City billionaire Mayor, Mike Bloomberg, delivered Thursday's commencement speech at uber liberal Harvard University. He voiced strong criticism for voices "deemed politically objectionable."

Bloomie sounded serious when he announced: "This spring, it has been disturbing to see a number of college commencement speakers withdraw--or have their invitations rescinded--after protests from students and--to me, shockingly--from senior faculty and administrators who should know better."

After all, this was as unfair to the conservative point of view and rights guaranteed by our Constitution, as it is to those who believe they have the right to drink a Slurpee of a Big Gulp of any size they desire.

The Bloomster also referenced a speech by New York City ex-police commissioner, Raymond Kelly, where he was shouted down by Brown University students when the little communists of rich capitalist parents shouted him down for  the "Stop and Frisk" policy used in the high-crime neighborhoods that have uncovered illegal firearms and likely saved many lives.

Mikey also noted that, at Rutgers University, the first female, African American Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, had to cancel the commencement address she planned to give. The low-information liberal students and staff protested her appearance because she supported the war in Iraq but Hillary Clinton, who did the same, is cool and she can speak at Rutgers any time she wants.

But no speech by Bloomberg is complete without some reference made to gun control and how guns are responsible for killing people, just like knives, baseball bats, and gravity are responsible. In addition to the $50 million he gave to support gun control, gravity experts claim that more people die from falls and plane crashes than by legal guns.

Bloomberg plans to fund a study about the evils of inertia this fall.

A reporter is kidnapped by Islamic terrorists who demand the release of three Gitmo prisoners in exchange for him. If the president refuses their demands, they plan to behead the reporter and videotape it for the Internet. But the U.S. doesn’t give in to terrorist’s demands and the reporter has 24 hours before he is to be executed. The clock is ticking . . .

Guns, Country and Anti-Semitism on MSNBC

The anti-Second Amendment liberals are still at it with their attempts at taking away the rights of legal gun owners. New York Mayor, Michael Bloomberg, has whipped out his wallet and spent $12M on national ads to bolster support for gun control.The ads run in 13 states where Nanny Bloomie hopes to win the support of senators who might be on the fence with this issue. The talk about assault weapons is gone from the discussion, but now the Bloomster wants universal background checks. 

Some on the left want gun retailers to keep background records and check them when a purchase is made. That's putting law enforcement into the hands of the retailers, and that's never a good thing, but I rarely blame liberals of being guilty of suggesting a good thing.

So, who will be keeping check on those who are keeping check? Who will decide who can and cannot get guns? What determines a person's rights or restrictions from gun ownership? Only the Shadow knows.

On MSNBC (aka PMSNBC), panelists concluded that anyone who might oppose Bloomberg, would probably be doing so out of anti-Semitism. Not that the notion of upholding the US Constitution could possibly be a reason. The two people who discussed this were Mike Barnicle and Al Sharpton.

Don't you love it when liberals do not allow the lacking of facts to stand in the way of their claims? Rather than having an honest, intelligent discussion on gun control, these mouth-breathers pull out the race card. But when they make racially charged statements themselves, they get a free pass with the mainstream media. Liberals claim to be the party for all the people while the GOP are racist old white men. Let me ask you this: was Obama's landslide victory with the black vote based on what black people knew of his ability or was it due to their own racial bias? This may sound like an unpopular thing to say, but let's face it, many black voters admitted to voting for Obama simply based on his skin color. 

And here we have Al Sharpton discussing anti-Semitism as if he has the market cornered on racial harmony. Ha! Who better to discuss anti-Semitism than Sharpton? Do you remember the racial riots of 1991 in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, NY? A Jewish man accidentally hit and killed a black child with his car, which started the riots with Sharpton at the helm. He was quoted as saying: " If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house."

I wonder if the very right Reverend Sharpton, a man of the cloth, feels sorry he ever said those words. He never apologized. Maybe the cloth he's a man of is simply a rag.
