New York City residents were asked on Wednesday to limit their electricity usage to avoid power outages during the blistering heat wave. "We're now experiencing a heat emergency, and we need people to take immediate action," Mayor Bill de Blasio said. "Our electric system is dealing with real strains right now because of the severity of heat that we are experiencing today." De Blasio continued, "We have a real challenge on our hands. So here's the message to all New Yorkers: immediately reduce the use of electricity in your home or in your business. This is very serious stuff.

Turn off the lights - or you won't have any lights - or something like that. Where are all the windmills?

Hard to understand how NYC could be buckling when so much of its work-related infrastructure is using WAY less power still.

I’m sure the left will have the same outrage over New York’s electricity problems just like they had over the problems in Texas during the polar vortex.

Gas prices skyrocketing and shortages starting to appear in some locations. Supply chain issues and food prices rising rapidly. Now power shortages and the best the communist death democrats pond scum can do is to either institute rolling black outs or urge the citizens of this country to cut back on the power usage. How come no one ever conducts a study to see want the effect of tens of millions of illegal aliens who do not belong in this country on the gas supply, food supply, power supply, medical availability etc. etc. Ask yourself this - If our country deported all of these tens of millions of illegal aliens would there be any of these shortages? Scarcity of basic commodities leads to higher prices. The tens of millions of illegal aliens are a major strain on our country. The only shortage that doesn't exist right now is crimes and violence. Did you know that illegal aliens kill over 2,000 of us every year? This cannot go on like this much longer.

Here's the real story -- suppose New York City's electricity blew out tonight? It's happened three (3) times in my life. Washington Sq. Park's riots could engulf the City. Think of what would unfold then in the country. The US is on the edge of a precipice.

It's summer, back in ancient times, when I grew up, we had electric power that worked year round, 24/7/365. I don't ever remember losing power other than during hurricanes. Today we are much more advanced. We now have power outages regularly. What a wonderful improvement. NOT! The evil greenie weenies are steadily 'advancing us'. . Soon we'll reach the 1920s.

Wait until everyone has to have electric cars. Nobody will be able to charge their car to get out of the hot city. Wait until everyone goes outside at night to cool off. You think the thugs are bad during the daytime, wait until dark when there are a lot more vulnerable targets. Bullets will be flying. Fists will be flying. The knives will be out. This will be a busy few nights for thugs, theives, and at NYC emergency rooms.

The White House dove into damage control this week after reports of dysfunction and infighting in Vice President Kamala Harris' office, with the administration trying to stop a drama-filled narrative from taking hold, according to five people who spoke to CNN about the dynamics within Harris' office. Two people close to Harris' team said some individuals inside the vice president's office are frustrated with what they see as a dysfunctional operation that has been at times waylaid by internal conflict. Some of that ire is directed squarely at Harris' chief of staff, Tina Flournoy, those people said. Another source close

Anyone hoping Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer would retire at the onset of the summer recess received a discouraging sign on Friday. The high court confirmed Breyer, who is the oldest justice on the bench at the age of 82, hired four clerks for the fall term, according to a report by Bloomberg. The news is sure to frustrate Left-leaning court advocates who have increasingly pressed for Breyer to step down after the sudden death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg last year gave former President Donald Trump the chance to cement a conservative majority on the court with the appointment

An imported woke leftist culture is 'racialising' France, causing splits in society and holding back ethnic minorities, President Emmanuel Macron has claimed. Macron said the political left's insistence on defining their countrymen by their ethnicity and depicting them as victims is causing rifts, and blamed social science ideas that have come from the United States. (Snip) He also pointed blame at feminists and black rights activists for seeking to define people according to their gender and their skin colour, arguing that such views cause rifts in French society and limit social mobility among ethnic minorities.

Dozens of looters moved into Afghanistan's Bagram Airfield just hours after U.S. troops vacated the airfield after a nearly 20-year occupation. The district administrator for the town of Bagram, Darwaish Raufi, told the Associated Press that since the troops' departure was not coordinated with local officials, the airfield's gates were not secured. This allowed looters to unlawfully enter before Afghan forces could secure the airfield. "Unfortunately the Americans left without any coordination with Bagram district officials or the governor's office," Raufi said. "They were stopped and some have been arrested and the rest have been cleared from the base," Raufi

NEW YORK - U.S. President Joe Biden has seen an erosion in support since April, mainly from fellow Democrats, as his administration wrestles with Congress to make good on campaign promises and more Americans worry about an uneven economic recovery, Reuters/Ipsos polling shows.

Hennepin County District Judge Jamie L.

An unprecedented number of officers quit or went on extended medical leave after Floyd’s death and the unrest that followed, which included the burning

NCAA athletes are wasting little time in capitalizing on new rules allowing them to profit off their name, image, and likeness (NIL), with some high-profile stars expecting to sign six-figure endorsement deals. Payouts will vary 'client to client, deal to deal' sports attorney Darren Heitner told DailyMail.com, adding that contracts in excess of $100,000 are 'absolutely' expected before the fall sports season starts in late August. And Heitner isn't guessing. He already represents Florida football player Donovan McMillon as well as twin sisters and Fresno State basketball stars Haley and Hanna Cavinder, who quickly leveraged their 3.3 million TikTok followers into new deals with Boost Mobile and SixStar ProNutrition.
