Isn't this why government exists? Force the taxpayers to buy thing they don't want and don't need, with the only rationale being to make the greedy pigs even wealthier.

Look for Mitch "Multiuseless" McConnell to write a "stern" letter of disappointment to be placed in the record and then go back to being the monotone normal - hiding underneath his desk.

Old Jenny was doing the exact same thing back in Michigan when she was destroying the state - she was using her insider information and influence to make herself rich. Many knew, and nothing was ever done. Just as nothing will ever be done now. There are different rules for the elite. It's a big club, and we ain't in it.

A tourist from South America was attacked by a homeless person who hit him in the head with a metal pipe near Manhattan’s Port Authority Midtown Bus Terminal Wednesday. The 66-year-old man, who is from Columbia, was walking with his family at West 40th Street and 8th Avenue at 11:40 a.m. when Wayne Lawton Welds allegedly approached him from behind and whacked him on the head with the blunt object, police said. The victim’s daughter scared off Welds, 25, after the unprovoked attack, and the suspect fled into the subway, according to the NYPD. The tourist was treated for a head laceration at Bellevue Hospital,

Allison Mack has been sentenced to just three years in prison for her role in recruiting sex slaves for NXIVM leader Keith Raniere after one of the cult's victims told the judge the Smallville actress as an 'evil monster' who sought her out like a 'predator'. The 38-year-old, who was facing up to 17 years in prison, was sentenced on Wednesday in Brooklyn federal court and was ordered to pay a $20,000 fine.(Snip) Her sentence was 117 years shorter than the one handed down to Raniere last year.

A Black Jewish diversity chief at a nonprofit group for children’s book authors resigned amid backlash after she neglected to specifically condemn Islamophobia in a statement denouncing antisemitism. April Powers, chief equity and inclusion officer at the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators, issued a statement this month saying the organization denounces “all forms of hate, including antisemitism,” citing an uptick in crimes against Jewish people. Critics apparently took issue with Islamophobia not being specifically mentioned in the statement. Ms. Powers apologized in a statement announcing her resignation Sunday, saying she “neglected to address the rise in Islamophobia, and deeply regret that omission.”

A tourist visiting Midtown Manhattan was beaten with a baton during a fight with a stranger over a food cart line, cops said Wednesday. The 21-year-old victim, who lives in San Jose, Ca., was in line with several friends at a cart near Sixth Ave. and W. 52nd St. when he got into an argument with a stranger about 1:20 a.m. Monday over their place in line, police sources said. As the victim and his pals, all traveling together from the West Coast, sat at some benches to eat their food, the stranger walked over to another bench, put down his food and backpack

Joe Biden entertained his son's business associates in the vice president's office, including Mexican billionaires Carlos Slim and Miguel Alemán Velasco. The then-vice president also flew Hunter and his partner Jeff Cooper on Air Force 2 to Mexico City in 2016 where Hunter arranged to meet Alemán's son for meetings over a 'flippin gigantic' business deal. The revelations, laid bare in photographs and emails on Hunter's abandoned laptop, are the latest in a growing body of evidence calling into question the president’s claim that he never spoke about business with Hunter. In the light of shocking documents uncovered by DailyMail.com from the laptop,

America’s most iconic youth organizations–the Boy Scouts of America and the Girl Scouts of the USA–have been jolted by unprecedented one-year drops in membership, due partly to the pandemic, and partly to social trends that have been shrinking their ranks for decades. Membership for the BSA’s flagship Cub Scouts and Scouts BSA programs dropped from 1.97 million in 2019 to 1.12 million in 2020, a 43% plunge, according to figures provided to The Associated Press. Court records show membership has fallen further since then, to about 762,000. The Girl Scouts say their youth membership fell by nearly 30%, from about 1.4 million in 2019

America’s first black billionaire, Robert Johnson, is pushing hard for the government to pay $14 trillion in reparations—and he wants his check just like everyone else. “Reparations would require the entire country to… admit that the result of slavery has been 200 years of systemic racism,” the Black Entertainment Television (BET) founder told Vice. “And for that reason, black folks have been denied $13-15 trillion of wealth and therefore we as a country now must atone by paying black people of all stripes—the rich ones, the poor ones, and the middle—out of our pocket,” Johnson told the outlet.

A 66-year-old hot dog seller has told of his terror as he was attacked by a woman in Washington Square Park on Sunday night, describing how he feared he would 'bleed to death' as he was punched in the head and had hot sauce thrown in his eyes. Nader Hassaneen, an Egyptian immigrant and street vendor, told The New York Post on Tuesday he would 'never go back' to the Manhattan park, which has been plagued by crime in recent weeks. The trouble began during Sunday's Pride celebrations, he said, when just before 11pm a woman pulled an American flag from the cart, demanding it be replaced

The people don’t believe Washington looks out for their interests—and it doesn’t make much difference whether “the people” are Republicans, Democrats or independents. According to a survey released Wednesday, more than three-fifths of all voters, including three-fourths of Republicans and a majority of Democrats, think that “the will of the people is no longer a consideration to leaders in D.C. when making policy or legislative decisions.” The exact numbers were 62.4% of likely voters in the 2022 midterm elections, including 76.4% of Republicans, 50.4% of Democrats and 59% of “no party / other” voters believed that Washington ignores the popular will.

Sen. Rand Paul says Americans must not let “the fearmongers win” as rhetoric about the dangers of the Delta variant of COVID-19 heats up. The Kentucky Republican took to Twitter on Tuesday with some statistics on the contagion’s Delta strain, which originated in India. “Don’t let the fearmongers win,” Mr. Paul told his 3.2 million followers. “New public England study of delta variant shows 44 deaths out of 53,822 (.08%) in unvaccinated group. Hmmm.”(Snip) Los Angeles County answered the president’s call, for example, by urging citizens to wear masks inside, even if they are fully vaccinated. “With increase circulation of the highly transmissible delta variant,

President Biden deployed his stage whisper during a speech in Wisconsin on Tuesday as he went about selling his infrastructure deal to the public and outlining plans to give tax breaks to ordinary families. It was a standout moment as he described the urgent need for a 'generational investment' and looked to persuade voters of the economic benefits of a $973 billion bipartisan package.(Snip) He dropped his voice and leaned into the microphone to deliver a conspiratorial word to people watching at home. 'Hey guys, I think it's time to give ordinary people a tax break,' he whispered. 'The wealthy are doing fine.'

Vogue, the world's fashion bible, has placed Jill Biden on her cover as the epitome of fashion. She's a "goddess," they explain. Which is a stretch, given that the first lady has sported getups like this loud red zebra print dress, or these huge-print patterned pantyhose worn with elfin spike heel ankle boots. It goes to show that its whole schtick is politics, not fashion. After all, the big fashion bible for the world's stylish somehow managed to overlook the nation's truly stylish first lady, Melania Trump, a former super-model, who not only was quite beautiful, but age-appropriate and elegant in her four years as first lady.

You may get some deja vu with the news about what just happened in the saga of the NYC mayoral election today. The election was actually last Tuesday. But they’re still counting and don’t expect to be done until sometime in July. Brooklyn Borough President and former police officer Eric Adams had been the surprise leader in the race when he came in first place last Tuesday, with 82 percent of the results in. That didn’t make some on the left happy, although he was still a Democrat. The election has ranked-choice voting and he was the first choice
