Burned ..

 

New York City’s mayor-elect issued a stern warning Thursday night to those expecting to continue the riots and looting the nation’s largest city has seen over the past two years.

"Not my city," Eric Adams, a former police captain who was elected in November to succeed termed-out the current mayor, said at a Police Athletic League event at the Harvard Club, according to the New York Post.

"We’re not going to surrender to those who are saying ‘We’re going to burn down New York’," Adams said.

The message seemed squarely aimed at Hawk Newsome, a local leader of the Black Lives Matter movement who last month threatened "riots," "fire" and "bloodshed" if Adams tried to revive past anti-crime practices that were discarded during the de Blasio years.

Is that shaking down the elected mayor?  Just a thought.

Dig Deep..

 

A Justice Department's investigation of former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) includes a probe into whether his office was involved in a "pattern and practice of discrimination and retaliation" that would breach the Civil Rights Act's Title VII, The New York Times reported. 

The newspaper noted that the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice (DOJ) sent New York State Attorney Letitia James (D) a letter dated Aug. 12 in which it notified her that such a probe was being conducted.

The Justice Department "and other law enforcement or investigative entities have made inquiries and requests for information related to the CHAMBER's COVID-19 pandemic response, including relating to Nursing Homes, publication of a COVID-related book authored by then Governor Andrew M. Cuomo, and other pandemic related matters," according to the agreement.

Dig deep fellows, Dig Deep.  Just a thought.

Fear Not..

 

Most of the 43 people known to have been infected with the Omicron variant of coronavirus in the United STates had mild symptoms, but most had been vaccinated and 14 of them had already had booster doses, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Friday.

The first CDC report on the Omicron variant in the US shows vaccination does not protect people against infection but it also indicates the first cases to be detected have been mild or moderate.

"One vaccinated patient was hospitalized for 2 days, and no deaths have been reported to date," the CDC Covid Response Team reported. "Case investigations have identified exposures associated with international and domestic travel, large public events, and household transmission."

Shame on those who use fear to further their own agenda and also create rules that is intended to reduce the liberty of the individuals.

We have nothing to fear but fear itself.  Just a thought.

Upside..

 

I am not sure about this New York City Mayor.

When Covid virus started he said " Let us all go to China town and celebrate the Chinese New Year.

Then he became the NYC Dictator to issue orders right and left, yet the Governor shut him up.

Then the Gov. is gone and here the mayor going making decisions up and down except what benefits the city for the long run.

Prevent home gathering or celebration, but the subway systems and buses are crowded as if sardines were packed in a third world country.

Roads are crowded, sewar are built in 1900, and this mayor approving the towers and skyscrapers all over... A bus lane where a bus comes every 30 minutes, a bike lane for a bike every 15 minutes and the bus and the bikes competing in the car lanes.

6 inches of snow caused the kids 12 hrs to reach home in the school buses.

6 inches of rain caused flooding and shutting down the roads.

Who is he working for? The builders for their campaign contribution?  Just a thought

Hoax...

Actor Jussie Smollett, known for his role on the TV show Empire, will return to court in Chicago in late January for a post-trial hearing and will learn at a later date whether he is going to prison after being found guilty late faking a hate crime against himself to raise his celebrity profile.

 The Chicago jury, which deliberated for more than nine hours, convicted Smollett on five charges of disorderly conduct. He was acquitted on a sixth count, of lying to a detective in mid-February 2019, weeks after Smollett said he was attacked.

The charges against Smollett, who is Black and gay and said he was drawn to the role of a Black gay man in Empire because it was still relatively rare to see such a character onscreen, had become a touchstone in America’s culture wars at the intersection of culture, racism, politics and celebrity.  Just a thought.

Split...

 

Facing a winter surge in COVID-19 infections, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Friday that masks will be required in all indoor public places unless the businesses or venues implement a vaccine requirement.

Hochul said the decision to reinstitute a mask mandate was based on state’s weekly seven-day case rate, as well as increasing hospitalizations. New York enacted a mask mandate at the beginning of the pandemic in April 2020 that lasted more than a year.

The state recorded more than 68,000 positive tests for the virus in the seven-day period that ended Wednesday. That’s the most in any seven-day stretch since the start of February. The surge is especially pronounced in some areas of upstate New York, which has accounted for nearly three-fourths of confirmed COVID-19 deaths in hospitals since August.

Yet the State and the City of New York keep rezoning different areas to build skyscrapers adding more crowded street, Buses, Schools, hospitals, businesses, trucks, digging, etc. 

It is sort of split character or something similar.  Setting up the city for the current and next deadly attack of a new variant or a new virus. Just a thought

Crowded...

 

Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, New York and Illinois have accounted for the majority of the country’s increase in hospital beds filled, according to an NBC News analysis of U.S. Department of Health and Human Services data.

While these states make up 35 percent of the population among states with increasing Covid hospitalizations, they make up 60 percent of the added beds, the analysis showed.

Unvaccinated people make up 87 percent of Covid patients who are in an intensive care unit in the state and 88 percent of Covid patients who are on a ventilator are unvaccinated. 

Another factor that is not referred to deliberately is the crowded buses and subway trains in NYC that the workers encounter on a daily basis which no one is doing anything about it other than talking. 

Just a thought
