The circumstances of the crime are unclear. What motivated Reynolds to get out of his car and approach the young men with a baseball bat is unknown. But the squeegee kids have been known to get violent when drivers refuse their services or don’t pay. Fox 45: Business owners have long complained that the squeegee panhandlers are frightening visitors and draining business. In Little Italy, restaurant owner Gia Blatterman blames city hall. “It starts at city hall, at the police department and at the prosecutors’ office. I want that name to be changed to ‘non-prosecutors’ office,” Blatterman said.

Before Giuliani became Mayor, NY City was plagued with squeegee men at the entrances to bridges and tunnels when traffic stood still with no escape. They broke radio antennas and windshield wipers when you closed the window on them.
This is natural progression.

If they pull a gun on you, the right response is to shoot them a couple of times in the upper center of the chest, quickly. I leaned about these vermin when I visited NYC with a college roommate from Long Island, whose father had a job in "the city". We visited the plant where his father worked, which was interesting, saw a restaurant nearby where some mob figure was shot down a few months earlier, and had these vermin messing up my friend's car. He was a big guy and threatened to "beat the hell out of your sorry butt if you touch my car" and "get out of here you dirty bum" at max volume......seemed to work in those "kinder gentler" early 1970s. Every time I have visited NYC there have been more lessons in why I don't want to visit NYC. And things are WAY worse now.

Things have been so screwed up in this Murder Capital of the US city for so long, it’s not news. What a pathetic 3rd world remnant of a city. You have to be insane to go there. If you live there, I have to assume you’re so downtrodden that you can’t get out. I have a problem just riding through the slum on I-95. The taxi driver had a baseball bat in the car. He wasn’t on his way to practice.

The Baltimore Sun newspaper ran an editorial about the senseless killing. Not surprisingly they are sympathetic to the Squeeges. They are just young men trying to earn a living (although the practice is actually illegal).

Marilyn Mosby has spent the better part of eight or more years doing everything she can to tie the hands of police in Baltimore. As a result, crime has gotten out of control.

The US federal vehicle auto watchdog dispatched investigators to probe yet another Tesla crash — this time one along Interstate 75 in Florida that killed two people last week. A Special Crash Investigations team was sent to probe the fatal collission Wednesday, where a 2015 model year Tesla hit the back of a semi-trailer at a rest area near Gainesville, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Friday. The agency would not divulge if the Tesla was using the company’s partially automated driving technology. The vehicle was traveling on Interstate 75 about 2 p.m. Wednesday when, for an unknown reason, it careened into a rest area.

President Joe Biden’s administration sold 950,000 barrels of oil from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve to a Chinese state-owned gas company that has financial ties to a private equity firm cofounded by Hunter Biden, according to a Washington Free Beacon report. In April, Biden’s Department of Energy announced the nearly one million barrel sale to Unipec, which is the trading arm of Sinopec. Sinopec is wholly owned and operated by the Chinese Communist Party. Unipec reportedly purchases oil across the globe and then apparently sells it through its Sinopec Marketing subsidiary.

Mayor Eric Adams on Thursday stood up for the “hard-working” Manhattan bodega clerk languishing on Rikers Island on $250,000 bail after he fatally stabbed a violent ex-con while trying to fend off an attack. “My heart goes out for this hard-working, honest New Yorker that was doing his job in his place of business, where a person came in and went behind the counter and attacked him,” Adams said about 51-year-old Jose Alba. Prosecutors with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office charged the dad of three with second-degree murder in the fatal stabbing of Austin Simon, 34, at the Hamilton Heights corner store Friday.

If the COVID-19 vaccines have been a disappointment from a public health standpoint in stopping the continuing spread of new variants of the disease, why is Big Pharma as well as its government allies in the FDA, CDC, and NIH still pushing them? As Deep Throat whispered to Bob Woodward during the Watergate scandal (“Follow the money”), so, too, the American public should be demanding the same of its political leaders: Follow the COVID money to determine why we continue to spend a fortune on something that seems to have only a relatively limited benefit.

Vice President Kamala Harris was “seriously” skewered online for a repetitive, meandering statement at the site of the July Fourth parade mass shooting in Highland Park, Illinois, where the veep repeated an earlier call for federal gun control legislation. Harris, 57, spoke in the Chicago suburb Tuesday evening after demanding Congress pass a new assault weapons ban while addressing a teachers union gathering earlier in the day. She vowed that suspected shooter Robert “Bobby” Crimo III, 21, would be “brought to justice,” but then “seriously” repeated herself during her remarks. “And we got to take this stuff seriously, as seriously as you are – because you have been forced to have to

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is preparing to cite the United States’ largest oil field for violating ozone pollution standards, a move that will threaten the end of oil and gas production in the region. According to the Texas Governor’s Office, the proposed regulations will directly affect the Permian Basin, the largest oil field in the United States, accounting for 95,000,000 gallons of gasoline per day or 40% of the oil produced domestically. This would be just one more move from Biden’s administration to impact the lives of every American by reducing the fuel supply and causing gas prices to soar well beyond Biden’s record of $5 per gallon.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said on this week’s broadcast of Fox News Sunday that it was appropriate for demonstrators to protest outside a restaurant where Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh was dining. Buttigieg said, “You’re never going to be free from criticism or peaceful protests, people exercising their First Amendment rights, and that That’s what happened in this case. Remember, the justice never even came into contact with these protesters, reportedly didn’t see or hear them.

Following the 2020 election and the pro-Trump January 6, 2021 attack against the U.S. Capitol, Hogan has condemned the former president's election lies and his efforts to subvert democracy.

President Joe Biden blamed Republicans for soaring gas prices in a Sunday tweet, moving on from the “Putin-price hike” shtick. Biden attempted to shift blame onto Republicans as a way to drive up support amongst voters for the November midterms. “Republicans are doing nothing but obstructing our efforts to crack down on gas-price gouging, lower food prices, lower healthcare costs, and hopefully, soon, lower your prescription drug costs,” Biden tweeted. “This is not right.

It’s all out in the open now. We have a traitor and suicide bomber in the White House. No one is even bothering to hide it. Biden is clearly a suicide bomber, owned by the Chinese Communist Party and the Mexican Drug Cartel, and put in place to destroy America, American exceptionalism, capitalism, and most importantly, the great American middle class. I learned this plan at Columbia University, Class of ’83, alongside my classmate Barack Obama (who was never actually seen in any class at Columbia- but that’s a story for another day). The plan we learned at Columbia was called “Cloward-Piven.”

Moore’s news amendment erases any talk of a right to “keep and bear arms,” positing, instead, an “inalienable right to be kept safe from gun violence.” The amendment outlines the in-depth background check that would be required for gun purchases:
