Detail...

 

 Mayor De Blasio has taken to regularly walking off the job  literally in the middle of his workday for meandering, sometimes hour-plus jaunts, generally in his old Brooklyn neighborhood, while the city remains in crisis, The Post has learned.

The mayor’s latest regimen of distractions — which comes after he temporarily swore off his well-documented Park Slope YMCA workouts when COVID-19 shut down all gyms — also includes morning constitutionals running into the start of his daily press briefings, according to city sources familiar with his routine.

Under the watchful eye of a security detail, he took a lap around Pier 17, earphones shutting out the world around him as he strolled.

De Blasio circled onto Fulton Street and took a phone call, as an onlooker who recognized his lanky, 6-foot-5 frame was overheard saying to a pal, “That was the mayor. He’s got nothing better to do.

De Blasio doesn't want people to drive.  Just a thought.

Maserati...

 

One man was killed, and another was taken to Brookdale Hospital in critical condition in a car crash early Saturday. 

The vehicle was speeding past the corner of Atlantic and Rochester avenues in Brooklyn about 3:30 a.m when it jumped a curb and hit a concrete median and pole before flipping in the air and splitting in two. The Maserati then caught fire, cops said.

The driver died at the scene and a 35-year-old man believed to be a passenger was taken to the hospital in critical condition.

Investigators say speed likely played a factor.
The most damage is the one you do to yourself.   Just a thought.

Seriously...

 

President Joe Biden on Friday criticized social media platforms like Facebook for spreading misinformation about the coronavirus and vaccines, as his administration has blamed them for stalling U.S. vaccine rates.

"They’re killing people," Biden said when asked what his message was to social media platforms like Facebook on the spread of false and misleading claims about the virus and the safety of vaccines that prevent it.

 "We will not be distracted by accusations which aren’t supported by the facts," said a Facebook spokesperson in a statement to Mashable that afternoon. "The fact is that more than 2 billion people have viewed authoritative information about COVID-19 and vaccines on Facebook, which is more than any other place on the internet."

"At a time when COVID-19 cases are rising in America, the Biden administration has chosen to blame a handful of American social media companies,"  "While social media plays an important role in society, it is clear that we need a whole of society approach to end this pandemic. And facts  not allegations should help inform that effort."

Don't start any war Joey...  Just a thought.

Asked...

 

President Biden fired Social Security Commissioner Andrew Saul on Friday amid an ongoing dispute over his leadership of the independent agency responsible for administering retirement and disability benefits.

Saul was one of the few remaining federal appointees from former President Donald Trump’s administration. The White House said he was fired after refusing a request for his resignation. Deputy Social Security Commissioner David Black was also asked to resign and he complied.

Firmly...

 

 "The Cuban people are demanding their freedom from an authoritarian regime. I don't think we've seen anything like this protest in a long, long time if, quite frankly ever," Biden said in the Roosevelt Room of the White House. "The United States stands firmly with the people of Cuba as they assert their universal rights and we call on the government of Cuba to refrain from violence in their attempt to silence the voices of the people of Cuba."

We stand firmly with the people of Cuba but sanctions against the Country suffocates every one in Cuba.   So what gives?    Just a thought.

Herd...

 

Dallas County, Texas, has reached herd immunity with 80 percent of its population either being fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or having natural immunity as a result of past infections, a nonprofit announced Wednesday.

Herd immunity was reached on July 4 with 46.6 percent of the population receiving two shots of the vaccine and 48.7 percent having natural immunity from a previous COVID-19 infection, Parkland Center for Clinical Innovation (PCCI) said in a statement.

"While this represents good progress. The nonprofit warned, however, that the target for herd immunity could jump to 88 percent due to the more contagious delta variant hitting the area.
