Defeat...

Amazon is ditching its plans to build a new headquarters in New York after facing backlash from members of the community.

“After much thought and deliberation, we’ve decided not to move forward with our plans to build a headquarters for Amazon in Long Island City, Queens,” Jodi Seth, an Amazon spokeswoman, said in a statement.

A huge defeat to Gov. Cuomo.

Candidate...

Everyone with a plan to tax the American people and then waste it on something is jumping in.

Politicians  who failed to run a large projects that serve the little people but neglected it are jumping in with a big promise to help the little one.

Failures to run the  NYC Subway, NYCHA, or the quick deals like the Amazon which would have displaced many low and moderate income and cause great congestion. In addition, permits for sky scrapers increased and the roads decreased and more congestion
 created.
All are welcome to run in the next Presidential hopes.

Warned...

A former U.S. Air Force counterintelligence specialist has been charged with revealing classified information to the Tehran government, including the code name and secret mission of a Pentagon program.

The Justice Department also accused Monica Elfriede Witt, 39, of betraying former colleagues in the U.S. intelligence community by feeding details about their personal and professional lives to Iran. Four hackers linked to the Iranian government, used that information to target the intelligence workers online.

Witt had been on the FBI's radar before she defected after she attended an Iranian conference and appeared in anti-American videos. She was warned about her activities, but told agents that she would not provide sensitive information about her work if she returned to Iran.

Witt remains at large in Iran, as do the four hackers.

Moderate...

Their numbers are waning,  35% of Democrats still moderates while 13%  are conservative, according to a recent Gallup survey.

Seven of the eight major declared candidates support Medicare for All, but are they really prepared to eliminate all private health insurance.

Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz says there is no longer room for him in his former party,  considering an independent presidential run.

When Pew asked Democratic-leaning voters which direction they'd like to see their party move, 54% said "more moderate" compared to 40 % who said "more liberal."  

Of course, electability is a fuzzy concept after the surprise result of the 2016 election, and progressives and people of color have been challenging the conventional wisdom that appealing to the center is party's best strategy.

It's also unclear if moderate Democrats could coalesce around one candidate in the primary since they include a wide range of groups with cross-cutting values.

Simple...

Shrew...

Trash...

Run...

These two couldn't agree on any thing. As it was reported, "No" was the answer by the mayor staff for the Governor at all time. When it came to run the subway system in NYC both didn't care a bit.

 The past eight years they ignored the system and its need because there is more important issues to tackle. So the money was syphoned to other areas that the Mayor and the Governor would look impressive. Five million riders daily in NYC Subway are suffering with all aspects of system deterioration.

Then comes the Amazon deal where the two, all of a sudden, became side by side. Credit of 3 Billions is given to the largest corporation ever, the opinion of those who are in the area is not important. It is a done deal for the Real Estate Developer of the area that is less than half a mile of Manhattan.

So the Mayor wants to run for a larger system than the Subway, NYSH, Schools, and Amazon.
