Mayor Robin Hood de Blasio portrayed himself as a protector of the working class while proposing a redistribution of wealth in his sixth State of the City address.
“Brothers and sisters, there’s plenty of money in the world. There’s plenty of money in this city. It’s just in the wrong hands,” said de Blasio, who owns two homes and collects $258,750 a year as mayor.
So for that we are giving Amazon the best space next to Manhattan with 3 Billion dollars to get them started their program to increase congestion, displace the middle and low income families out of the area, and enrich the Real Estate companies. All this would be great for his plan of Congestion pricing, extra taxes on middle and low income who can rely on the subway system that he personally neglected.
If you couldn't do right by the subway system riders, the NYSHA residents, Sandy storm victims and six inches of snow that drowned the city.
Re-Education...
China claims it has arrested 13,000 “terrorists” in Xinjiang over the last five years, as it launched an aggressive propaganda campaign in defence of its restrictive measures in the far-western region.
China’s state council released a white paper on “the fight against terrorism and extremism” and “human rights protection in Xinjiang”, in which Beijing attempted to quantify the campaign.
Since 2014, Xinjiang has destroyed 1,588 violent and terrorist gangs, arrested 12,995 terrorists, seized 2,052 explosive devices, punished 30,645 people for 4,858 illegal religious activities, and confiscated 345,229 copies of illegal religious material,” the report concludes.Human rights advocates believe more than 1 million Chinese minorities, Uighurs as well as Kazakhs and other groups, are being systematically forced to undergo political re-education. Just a thought.

A gunman shot dead three people and wounded nine on a tram in the Dutch city of Utrecht and police said they were hunting for a 37-year-old Turkish man in an apparent terrorist attack.
Dutch authorities raised the terrorism threat to its highest level in Utrecht province, schools were told to shut their doors and paramilitary police increased security at airports and other vital infrastructure and also at mosques.
Prime Minister Mark Rutte convened crisis talks, saying he was deeply concerned about the incident, which came three days after a lone gunman killed 50 people in mass shootings at two mosques in the city of Christchurch, New Zealand.
"The police asks you to watch out for 37-year-old Gokmen Tanis (born in Turkey) in connection with this morning's incident," Dutch police said in a statement.

Bill, an employee at Walmart, had been suffering from mild neck pain and a tremor in his hands. A local surgeon recommended spine surgery.
Walmart decided to send him and his wife on a flight to a hospital in another state, all expenses paid, for a second opinion. He saw a team of clinicians at Geisinger Medical Center in Pennsylvania. They noticed a subtle shuffle in his step and diagnosed him with Parkinson's Disease.
The employee avoided a painful, expensive surgery that he did not need. Walmart saved about $30,000, and benefited when Bill went back to work after his symptoms improved. A win for every body.
U.S. employers are getting increasingly fed up with the U.S. medical system. Companies pay for about 49 percent of Americans' health care, and are facing rising costs without any real improvements in outcomes.
Walmart's Lisa Woods and the director of spine surgery at Geisinger, described how they've focusing on more than just lowering costs and improve overall health outcomes for their workers by offering travel programs.
Litmus...
For many Democrats, legalizing Marijuana has become a litmus test for candidates’ commitment to equal treatment for all races in policing and criminal justice as well as fighting economic inequality.
Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey introduced the pointedly named Marijuana Justice Act, which would legalize the drug nationwide and expunge past convictions.
Other 2020 candidates in the Senate quickly signed on as sponsors, including Kirsten Gillibrand, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris.
Mr. O’Rourke framed his position as a matter of practicality and racial justice, given that people of color are imprisoned at disproportionate rates for drug offenses.
Many of the democrats are for Legalizing marijuana for its tax revenue, but racial justice may not be priority. Only time will tell. Just a thought.
Ties...
The Media lost credibility completely with the American people and they may be acting against their own interests if these interests are legitimate.
Since we lost trust in the Libral Media, then people are not watching or if tried, not accept their analysis.
They proved their aroggance time and time again. Sided with the obvious winner that turn to be bust. Now they taking a stance to discredit the current president and intern, they are fortifying his base against their plan. Just a thought.
