New York’s Corrupt and Venal Leaders
Must Go

Original Article

Posted By: earlybird, 3/19/2021 10:50:18 AM

Writing as someone who was slightly acquainted with the late Mario Cuomo and considered him a substantial political force—not out of place among the many distinguished men who have held the historic office of governor of New York, from General George Clinton and John Jay to the Roosevelts, Al Smith, and Nelson Rockefeller—I have always found both of the present public Cuomos unutterably obnoxious. (Snip) the cascade of demands that Andrew Cuomo resign over the allegations of improprieties against him launched by present or former female co-workers is piffle. There is something particularly nauseating about the cowardly antics of New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio as he

Comments:

Don’t get Black wrong. He simply believes that re the #MeToo allegations, it is appropriate for Cuomo to wait for the results of the investigation. He believes that matter is a sideshow compared to the greater matter of the nursing home Covid deaths. The notion that De Blasio can badmouth Cuomo and hope to waltz into the empty governor’s mansion is idiocy. He has been a disaster in his own right.

What Mr. Black fails to recognize is the implied threat that hangs over every woman who has been subjected to the predations of male employers. Most of the time the women are young and relatively new to the work force. They think if they object or file a complaint their chances of a successful career in that workplace are essentially over. I’ve been through this. I wish now that I had had the courage to file a complaint but I didn’t. No woman or man should have to put up with sexual intimidation.

I believe that all the Democrats and MSM concentration on Cuomo's sexual harassment of female staff is to cover up the fact that about 1,000 elderly people are dead as result of ordering COVID positive patients to be placed in elder care facilities. Perhaps, the Democrats and MSM do not want to explain why they painted Cuomo as a super hero when his order resulted in so may extra deaths of the elderly. The elder facility managers explained what would happen and begged him to cancel this order to no avail. Why they were not sent to the temporary coronavirus hospital at the Javits Center or the Navy's hospital ship Comfort is a mystery to me.

I too, will give Cuomo his day in court, the same as any other man who has been accused of some decades old behavior. The difference here is that he's a solid lefty and the 'me too' allegations are what's necessary to keep the nursing home deaths out of the news. Call him Democrat collateral damage.

Pretty obvious but somebody actually voted for them. Those somebody's should realize that they voted to send COVID patients to nursing homes. They should maybe THINK before they vote again.

Anchorage, the largest city in Alaska, recorded a temperature as low as -18 degrees Celsius (nearly zero degrees Fahrenheit) in the early morning. A two-day high-level talk between the United States and China has just ended in this frigid place. The high pitch of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) “wolf warriors” howl and the weak U.S. response, in contrast, are really worrying. In short, the U.S. side fell into four traps set ingeniously by the CCP during the talks. First, the holding of high-level talks between the United States and China is itself a CCP trap.

FBI Director Christopher Wray told NPR Tuesday’s Atlanta-area shootings that killed eight people — six of whom were Asian-American — do not seem to be linked to race, backing up local police who say the alleged shooter was probably motivated by a sex addiction rather than racial animus, a theory that’s drawn skepticism and pushback from some corners.Key Facts In a Thursday afternoon interview with NPR, Wray said suspected gunman Robert Aaron Long’s motives are still under investigation, but “it does not appear” race was his reason for allegedly shooting multiple people at three massage parlors.

To say the first major diplomatic summit between the United States and China was an unmitigated mess would be an understatement. Apparently U.S. Secretary of State Tony Blinken thought it would be of value for the domestic audience if he was to lambast the Beijing delegation in public and on camera. His efforts were a complete fail as the Chinese knew everything was presented for domestic consumption… so, the Red Dragon threw fire right back onto the purple hair and obviously stunned an unsettled U.S. Secretary.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Friday said she rejected a move by some Democrats led by Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-Calif.) to expel Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) from Congress. About 70 House Democrats joined Gomez in signing the resolution. However, to expel a member of Congress, the bid requires a two-thirds supermajority, meaning that a significant number of Republicans would need to join. “I’m not going to get into that,” (Snip) “Members are very unhappy about what’s happened here. And they can express themselves the way they do. What Mr. Gomez did is his own view. And that is not a leadership position.”

A major development broke this week in the Federal investigation into what exactly caused the death of U.S. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick.(Snip)But providing “clarity” into Sicknick’s death was approximately the opposite of what transpired. Here’s what we know: Two men, Julian Khater and George Tanios, have been charged with nine criminal counts for actions taken on January 6th just outside the steps of the U.S. Capitol building. The most serious offense appears to be assault on an officer with a dangerous weapon, arising from Khater’s alleged use of Tanios’s chemical spray to tag Officer Sicknick and two other officers in the face.

Talks between the U.S. and China got off to a rough start on Thursday, with both sides chiding and reprimanding each other in an unusual public display of tensions. The meeting in Anchorage, Alaska was the first high-level meeting between the two countries under the administration of President Joe Biden, and came after more than two years of rocky relations between the two countries. What was initially meant to be a four-minute photo shoot ended up lasting more than an hour as both sides traded barbs on issues from U.S.-China relations to concerns from Washington’s allies. Reporters were told not to leave as both sides wanted to add their rebuttals.

Holding a publicly-broadcast meeting is typically something you do when you know exactly how things are going to go. The last thing you want is to see your country humiliated by a tyrannical regime. Yet Blinken, clearly not prepared for the job he holds, ended up making the United States look absolutely pathetic in the face of the communists.Here’s one of the clips of Blinken getting owned.

The trial, carried out by pulmonologist Sara Ghandehari of the Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles, recruited 40 male patients hospitalized with COVID-19. “As an ICU doctor, I was struck by the gender disparity among COVID-19 patients who were very sick, remained in the hospital, and needed ventilators,” she emphasized. “One group acted as a control sample, for comparison, and received only the standard medical care given at that time for the disease.
