Potential 25,000 good paying jobs and potential billions in tax revenues gone after a single meeting.

Yet, AOC and the two state politicians who joined her in driving Amazon away, were still re-elected with 75% of the vote.

Folks manipulating vote tallies is my guess.

After seeing what I saw, anyone can be President, even Harris and AOC.

If they want you in you're in.

One of the on-scene hurricane reporters started his sentence with "Now here's a fun fact..." and I don't think he knew how to get out of it finishing with "water in a few hours is going to be twice as high".

The in-station reporter, "Uh, not such a fun fact..."


Live TV, gotta love it.

On October 20, Kmart's last full-sized location in the mainland U.S., a store in Bridgehampton, New York, will close its doors.

That leaves just one smaller Kmart in Miami and three stores in the U.S. Virgin Islands as the only locations left — from over 2,300 stores

AOC Calls for New York City Mayor Eric Adams to ‘Resign’ Amid Federal Probe

25 Sep 2024

“I do not see how Mayor Adams can continue governing New York City,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote. “The flood of resignations and vacancies are threatening gov function. Nonstop investigations will make it impossible to recruit and retain a qualified administration. For the good of the city, he should resign.”

I remember her questioning a bank on spills from oil pipelines and asking what’s responsibility was on the bank. The banker corrected her.

AOC is easily more intelligent and well-spoken than Donny, who you worship. (Even though you guys are afraid to talk about him these days for some reason).

AOC's district has become a cesspool over the past four years. Beginning with the election of the Queens DA who pledged not to prosecute prostitutes and got 74% of the vote.

That, plus the No Bail law ensures that any prostitutes arrested cannot be held and they will not be prosecuted.

Many of them are sex slaves working to pay off the cartels that brought them here.
