Why would anyone waste time trying to kill Zeldin? It’s not like he has any chance of winning in NY anyway…


It was one of the poorest attempts at stabbing I've seen.

They are probably including cell phone cameras that can be remotely activated?

Actually doesn't bother me
I can look at Google map history and see everywhere I've driven the last couple of years. As you can imagine I'm all over the map

people are freaking at the human-like features of something washing up on Australian beaches, some kind of mollusk. Or a sign of the apocalypse

Voters getting more of what they voted for.

NYC is a 'guraranteed shelter' city. The city must provide shelter to anyone who needs it.

Between Biden's airlifts of migrants into the city, and the Florida and Arizona Governors bussing them into NYC, the city is resorting to putting them in hotels.

Many thousands more coming.

Tourists are going to have a hard time finding an available hotel room in a few months.

This is good for NYC real estate owners.. It puts upward pressure on rents and real estate values.

Adams said: 'This is a real burden on New Yorkers as we’re trying to do the right thing. We already have an overburdened shelter system.'

'So now we’re talking about food, clothing, school. This is going to impact our schools because we do not turn away individuals because they are undocumented,'

Do you live in NYC? Just curious. You post about it a lot.

If you do, a move to Florida is calling your name.

Brought to you by the Republican party, the defenders of free speech. (sarcasm)
WTF
https://www.wonkette.com/oklahoma-librarians-barred-from-even-saying-the-word-abortion

Here is the actual memo
It's chilling how Republicans are actually against freedom

"After the overturning of Roe vs. Wade, Legal reviewed MLS's role regarding giving information on abortions and concluded that due to state law libraries have no role. Library staff should avoid the use of the word "abortion" and are not to assist in looking up information on either library PCs or even their own devices to aid in such a search. If a staff member gives any information on how to obtain an abortion, then that person may be found personally liable and will also make MLS liable. Civil penalties include a $10,000.00 fine, plus jail time, and the staff member will lose their job due to being informed by MLS and disregarding the warning. There may be people that go into public libraries and try staff on this just to see if they will give information on how to obtain an abortion just to report them (along the lines of 1st Amendment Auditors), so staff should be aware of this potentiality as well."

Well if you believe that abortion is killing a child then that is consistent. Would a mother be allowed to go into a library and ask for assistance on how to kill her children?

You having trouble with your reading comprehension again? Where is my post do I say I supported it? I said it was consistent if you believe abortion is murder.

Your own censorship beliefs are well know. You support the censorship that twitter and other social media platforms apply to the right.
