New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) addressed New York business owners in a new interview and told them there was “nothing to worry about” after former President Trump was hit with a $355 million fine and the inability to conduct business in New York for three years.

Comments:

Great evidence for Trump’s appeal, This was clearly “law-fare” planned and executed by NY State. Shark Tank’s Kevin. O’Leary trashed NY State over this.

You are safe from sham prosecution as long as you aren't a treat to run against a dim president.

Exactly OP. Trump, and only Trump, will be prosecuted and fined for damages when there are none. Selective prosecution, anyone? Appreciate your assistance with the appeal, Kathy.

Trump should only pay his NY property taxes based on the court's appraisal which supersedes any state assessor's. Any business in NY should use Trump's value reassessment to adjust their property values for tax purposes accordingly. It is inconceivable that Trump could be convicted of fraud when the banks and insurance companies never lost a dime. Even if Trump had defaulted on a loan and the bank tried to recover its loss through a fire sale, Trump could not be charged with fraud because it was the bank's fiduciary responsibility to the shareholders to perform due diligence on the loan before making it. The corrupt judge and everybody who does real estate deals anywhere in the world knows this. Calling it a sham is too charitable.

Translation for the NY City business community: Nothing to see here we were only after Trump. This is how the commies operate, make an example of somebody to keep the others in line. I'm waiting for business to start an exodus from NY City the will complete the transition to "Detroit - East".

Oh……. You should worry. NYC is about to start experiencing consumer products shortages and right of center business owners will be pulling up stakes. That $350 million plus windfall is going to cost NY billions in lost tax revenue and productivity.

I for one am done with New York and I live ten minutes from the border. I will avoid it at all costs. This was not a rogue decision by one lunatic. It was planned and crafted with the support of the majority of residents. They can celebrate this Pyrrhic victory in their people’s republic, but not with me.

You’ve set a precedent that you will attempt to destroy and business or person within NY based on nothing but politics. I’d say anyone right of center has a great deal to fear. Good luck with the truckers, by the way. You deserve it.

Can’t stomach even looking at this woman. Pay no attention to what she says. She’s as big a liar as Biden. And just as nasty. And New Yorkers, she doesn’t give a rats rest end about you. If she did, NYC would be in the shape it’s in. And as for deporting the illegals who attacked the police officers, never going to happen. She probably helped arrange their getaway from New York. She’s all mouth and no action.

Asked point-blank during an appearance on CBS’ “Face the Nation” if he would launch a campaign for Albany after he’s term-limited out of City Hall, de Blasio shifted the subject. “I’m focused right now on fighting COVID and reopening our schools and bringing this city back,” said de Blasio with a slight chuckle. “That’s my focus.”

State officials have shipped 70,000 COVID vaccine doses a week to Publix’s central distribution hub in Lakeland in Central Florida, without knowing exactly where the shots will go, a Miami Herald analysis of state vaccine distribution data from the past five weeks and interviews with state officials found. The grocery chain — a major financial supporter of Gov. Ron DeSantis — is the state’s single-largest vaccine supplier and receives nearly a quarter of Florida’s available doses without providing state officials a store-specific distribution plan ahead of time, according to Jared Moskowitz, the director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management, the agency leading the vaccination campaign.

President Joe Biden on Thursday revealed that two journalists privately told him they would have to leave the country if Donald Trump won the election because he has threatened to jail them. Biden made the claim as he addressed wealthy donors in California and spelled out the dangers of a second Trump term. He singled journalist Katie Couric who was among the audience. ‘Katie, there’s two of your former colleagues, not at the same network, told me personally that if he wins they have to leave the country because he’s threatened to put them in jail,’ he said. Biden offered no further details.

A discovery of 2.34 billion metric tons of rare earth elements (REEs) in a mine outside of Sheridan, Wyoming, has generated great excitement across industries stateside. For one, the reserves are estimated to be bigger than China’s current reserves, implying that this single find could end America’s reliance on Chinese exports if exploited judiciously.

President Joe Biden is considering an immigration crackdown that closes the border if more than 8,500 try to cross in one day, a law repeatedly used by former President Donald Trump. The law would, if the migrant crisis reached those numbers per day, unilaterally enact a sweeping ban at the southern border, according to three people familiar with the deliberations. The administration, stymied by lawmakers who rejected a negotiated border bill earlier this month, has been exploring options that Biden could deploy on his own without congressional approval.

A new stage production of the highly popular coming of age play Peter Pan will seek to eliminate some of the original songs for the Native American characters, to rewrite the scenes to offer Native Americans a “safe place,” and to cancel the “stereotypes” and “caricatures” of Native peoples.

Barrie “had caused harm to people.” “When you read the original material, it’s very hurtful, it’s blatantly hurtful."

I know what you're thinking. The headline has to be some sort of clickbait, right? Actually, no. The Biden administration is working on a final solution for Israel. It's been a hell of a week for the Joe Biden foreign policy shop at Foggy Bottom, and that has now extended to Turtle Bay. The two-state solution that Joe Biden wants to impose on the two parties currently at war in the Middle East, a solution neither side will ever accept in the near future, is a myth that's also threatening to collapse the Democratic Party from within. If Joe Biden supports Israel, he loses the Arab-American voting bloc in Michigan,
