Quote: Tanko
They buried Jason Neely today. He was the homeless man on the subway who complained about being hungry and thirsty and verbally threatening riders, before being choked to death by a fellow passenger who felt threatened by him.

The NYC Department of Homeless Services listed Neely in the top fifty 'at risk' homeless people in the city.

Despite that, and 44 arrests which included assaults on elderly women, Neely was always put back on the streets to fend for himself. Elderly women rejoiced everywhere.

Yesterday, the city began moving busloads of illegals into the 1,000 room Roosevelt Hotel, after agreeing to pay more than $222 million to house them there for three years. Free meals and medical included.

Amazing how fast the democrats have mucked things up.

What is more amazing is they will all get re-elected. Machine politics at its best.

The President is a fink.

Not mucked up enough to make Tanko move
Tanko considers NYC the most fabulous city to live in. There isn't a better city in the world to live in but NYC. The Tanko meter proves it. Sure there is some crime but it's the best place on the planet to live according to the Tanko meter.

It's worse than that.

It's a trend, like Rahm Emmanuel, Lori Lightfoot, Brandon Johnson, etc. in Chicago

Each succeeding mayoral generation gets more radically left.

Check out Brandon Johnson's new financial plan for Chicago.

It's like they want to discourage business and destroy their city even more.

I never saw anything close to it other than on the west coast.

The Republican Party is like a ghost that doesn't know it's dead.

The only races that matter, are primary races between far left and center-left democrats.

Surprisingly, in Philidelphia, the most conservative candidate won the recent democrat mayoral primary, which guarantees her election in the Fall.

Cherelle Parker Priorities:

Implementing her safety plan, involving more police presence and surveillance cameras, consistent city services, and more.

Starting up robust year-round schooling in the public education system.

Reducing wage and business taxes.

One of Bill Clinton's long ago lovers showing a pic of what looks like Walmart giving away Bud Light free (see link).

I'd imagine this would be a candidate for fake news.

Before, we knew the MSM was full of fake news, like the Clinton/Russia collusion scam.

But now, a bunch of outlets are showing fake news, possibly with AI.

Family and others are pushing to have this guy released back to the US. Me, even if I knew I accidently killed someone like that in another country, I'd just suck it up and do the 3 years. As long as when I got back, I didn't have to carry it on my record here. Yeah, I do figure the Japanese family is feeling cheated with nothing to show for the death, if all they get is "sorry, accident, see ya" and the guy goes home to the US.

Quote:
Lt. Ridge Alkonis is currently serving a three-year prison term for a 2021 car crash that left a pair of Japanese citizens dead. He was stationed in Japan on Navy orders at the time of the accident and has been imprisoned since September.

His family maintains that Alkonis passed out while driving because of delayed altitude sickness brought on by a mountain hike earlier in the day. Japanese courts found him guilty of negligent driving and blamed the crash on Alkonis falling asleep behind the wheel.

Also, I don't think altitude sickness comes on without any warning at all. He had to be driving already feeling pretty bad, IMO. If you feel really bad, you're already engaging in risky behavior driving.

You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?
