Ex-NYC Mayor Bill deBlasio's wife has to explain where all the money went

In a shocking discovery, a report revealed that Chirlane McCray, estranged wife of former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, managed nearly $900 million in taxpayer money without keeping track of how it was spent. This money was mainly used for her "ThriveNYC" initiative, aimed at tackling mental health and homelessness issues in the city. However, investigations showed that there was little transparency, with many expenses not documented and inadequate supervision over the use of funds.

This was brought to light during a city council meeting where it was criticized that the program was slow to act. Here’s what was said:

"During the meeting, it was discovered that the disgustingly large amount of money spent on the Thrive program produced no actual benefits."

The program was initially budgeted at $250 million each year, but it has not significantly impacted the community. According to Politico, out of an estimated 12-15,000 mothers suffering from postpartum depression in New York City annually, only 570 received help. Out of 78,000 newborn deliveries each year, just 28,560 new moms were screened, and only 570 women diagnosed with the condition were assisted by the program.

McCray reportedly didn't keep any records of how the $900 million was spent. Despite this, Thrive director Susan Herman stated that the program's costs would now escalate to $1 billion every four years.

Queens Councilman Robert Holden expressed his frustration to the New York Post:

“The situation is not improving. It’s actually getting worse.”

DeBlasio and McCray are not divorced but are separated.

New York's worst angry that New York's Finest endorses Trump

The New York Police Department union had to deal with whiny local Democrats over their hissy fit sparked by the union's endorsement of President Trump.

What did these cretins expect when their Party cut a billion dollars from the NYPD budget and the left has slammed the department over fake cries of racism? This isn't just payback by the cops, it's a rational decision to back the leader who has their backs, President Trump.

On Friday night, Trump took the time to speak to members of the New York City Police Benevolent Association (PBA), that represents 24,000 officers, at his golf club in Bedminster, N.J.

Trump was formally endorsed by the group causing heads to explode, tears to flow and liberals scream at the sky.

PBA President Pat Lynch said it was the first time he could recall the group ever endorsing a president.

"I have 36 years on this job, 21 as the president of this fine organization. I cannot remember when we’ve ever endorsed for Office of the President of the United States, until now. That's how important this is," Lynch said.

"Many times people say that a union like ours, law enforcement groups, give endorsements. Not in the New York City PBA, sir," Lynch continued. "In the New York City PBA, Mr. President, you earn the endorsement and you’ve earned this endorsement. I’m proud to give it."

Screams echoed off the clouds and there was a gnashing of teeth and dentures.

"I've admired you my whole life, watched you do a job like nobody else, nobody else done it. Best of the best and I’m grateful happy you're here," Trump told the group of officers in attendance.

Trump repeated his law-and-order message, telling the crowd “No one will be safe in Biden’s America.”

"This guy has been taking your dignity away and your respect," Trump said of former Vice President Joe Biden. "And I'm telling you on Nov. 3 you’re going to be getting it back."

New York Democrats said the police union’s endorsement of such a highly unpopular politician within the city was exacerbating tensions between them and the community.

But perhaps city dwellers no longer sees Trump as the enemy but sees the antipathetic left as the real problem as inner cities had businesses looted and burned as the left kept law enforcement at bay.

“NYPD union endorsed Trump. I’m sure this is part of their neighborhood outreach plan,” tweeted the idiot Rep. Alexandria Obviously-Commie (D-NY), whose district spans the Bronx and Queens. She has saved 25,000 New Yorkers from having to go to high-paying jobs with Amazon because her attitude toward the free market scared them out of town.

“I’m speechless. NYC is a beautifully diverse, working class, democratic city. The NYPD is clearly showing they are not interested in working with the people of our city,” tweeted Jamaal Bowman, a progressive newcomer who overthrew longtime Rep. Elliot Engel in a June primary.

Had the union endorsed Sleepy Joe, the tweets would have applauded the choice and everyone knows it.

“This explains their continued aggression against innocent people. It’s time for dramatic change,” Bowman said, proving the left's disdain for law enforcement and only showing what precipitated the endorsement from the union in the first place. By the way, the claim this leftist made about aggression against innocent people is a lie and identity politics at its worst.

New York City cops and all national law enforcement have faced a campaign against them in the wake of police brutality protests following the death of George Floyd. How else should they react to the one leader who supports them?

As New York Mayor Comrade Bill de Blasio and other Democrats cut $1 billion from the police budget among other police reforms, crime has spiked throughout the city. There were 244 shootings in July, a 177% increase in the city compared to last year at the same time.

Businesses are leaving for various reasons, crime being a significant one.

Meanwhile, Chirlane McCray, de Blasio's wife, cannot account for nearly one billion dollar for her ThriveNYC project that has shown zero results. Law enforcement might want to look into that boondoggle--it might just turn out to be a swindle.

NYC Mayor Comrade de Blasio appoints Mrs. de Blasio as head of coronavirus racial inequality task force

The one thing all Communists love is acquiring "the people's" money. In this case, it's the people of New York's tax money to pay for Comrade Bill de Blasio's wife in her husband-appointed position as head of a new racial inequality task force.

The incompetent and wildly hypocritical Mayor, when he isn't disregarding his own orders, like not go to the gym, isn't letting little things get in his way, such as the controversy surrounding his wife's embattled billion-dollar mental-health initiative, or the fact that there are rumors she's vying for Brooklyn borough president.

Citing her work with the ThriveNYC initiative, the tall empty suit who pretends to be a mayor revealed Sunday that his wife Chirlane McCray would co-chair a Task Force on Racial Inclusion and Equity as the city plans its eventual reopening. Such a task force would create meetings, and a place where the minutes are taken and the hours are lost.

Her qualifications are that she is black and is married to de Blasio and likes to throw money at problems and keep some for herself.

“The economic and racial disparities that have been made so clear by this crisis, we knew about them before,” said the moron known as de Blasio, but whose real name is Warren Wilhelm, Jr.

The idiot was elected six years ago based on a pledge to make the city more equitable and eliminate its “tale of two cities.” But to paraphrase Dickens, it's still the worst of times with de Blasio at the helm.

New York’s poorest ZIP codes have been hardest hit by pandemic, city data show, and minorities — many among the city’s essential workers — have died at disproportionately high rates, in part by de Blasio's mishandling of the crisis, and also due to certain cultural predispositions to the virus.

De Blasio said he formed the task force in part, to ensure New York’s underdogs aren’t left behind in the recovery, and it also gets his wife off his back and allows her to bring in a few bucks.

City lawmakers on both sides of the aisle were dumbfounded over de Blasio's appointment of his equally incompetent wife, as noted in her signature Thrive program, which was criticized as a billion-dollar money pit with a dubious record of results.

“Chirlane doesn’t have an impressive track record running task forces or agencies,” said Councilman Joe Borelli (R-SI), in fact, she kind of stinks at these sort of things. Borelli has frequently sparred with the Mayor's office over Thrive’s alleged lack of helping the NYPD and their spate of 'suicide by cops.'

“This is too serious an issue to use it as profile raiser,” Borelli added, referring to her clear political aspirations.

Councilman Robert Holden said the appointment stinks of political calculation by the Communist Mayor to increase McCray’s visibility ahead of a widely rumored run for Brooklyn borough president.

“This is political. I wish de Blasio would stop doing this,” said Holden, a Queens Democrat. “Let her win the Brooklyn borough presidency on her own merits," or total lack thereof.

“Her track record on Thrive and the statue commission hasn’t been so good,” he added, referring to another of McCray’s negative incursion into the spotlight.

During the city’s search for women to memorialize with public monuments last year, McCray sparked outrage by vetoing a public poll’s top choice for the honor — the sainted Italian-American nun Mother Cabrini. She apparently wanted a more colorful individual. And besides, Mother Cabrini already has a Manhattan hospital named after her.

“ ‘Putting @NYCFirstLady in charge of the newly created task force on racial inclusion and equity is a great idea,’ -said No One Ever,” Councilman Eric Ulrich (R-Queens) tweeted Sunday. “By the way, what ever happened to all that money for ThriveNYC?”

The initiative has been beset for years by criticism over its 10-digit price-tag and failure to make appreciable headway in helping New York’s mentally ill, which would likely include some of the people who started the initiative.

"Every time New York City has faced a crisis, it's come back stronger. That's who we are. We will work together and build something better and fairer," de Blasio tweeted on Sunday. He also believes that putting a cigarette out on a rug, makes the rug stronger and more resilient, because, as previously mentioned, he is a schmuck and the worst mayor in the history of the world.
