The New York City Fire Department (FDNY) issued a memo scolding firefighters it says brought "discredit" to the department after booing New York Attorney General Letitia James and cheering for former President Trump at a promotion ceremony last week, warning those who took part to protest on their own time, according to a report. Following a New York Post report about the leaked memo, FDNY spokesman Jim Long confirmed to Fox News Digital on Monday morning that chief officers went to firehouses over the weekend to discuss the events of Thursday and speak to the concerns and disappointment with the behavior shown during James' remarks.

Comments:

I think that the reputation of the FDNY-as it applies to their COURAGE, SELFLESSNESS, and DEDICATION TO DUTY-are way above reproach. It's the reputation of the NY Dept. of Justice that's in tatters. James is lucky she didn't get showered with rotten garbage, she is a THUG and not worthy of any respect.

A boo is a protest and showing up unarmed and following police directions is an insurrection.

I guess thats what happens when you order people to go to a political event to falsely portray support for the corruptocrat running it. I hope everyone who booed denies it. Those who gave the order are more wrong than those who made the noise.

If firefighters protest on the department's time, that is vile to lie-berals. But if professional sports thugs protest during a game, that is "brave" and "courageous" to lie-berals. Consistency is not something a lie-beral can comprehend!!!

It seems that the firefighters were mandated to attend a purely political appearance. Why are they mandated to be anywhere other than their respective work locations? I think she should put on her big girl panties and laugh it off, tell the Ogres to back off, and get on with ruining the city. It’s what she does best.

Many years ago, there was a TV series called "v" for some alien visitors who although they acted like friendly benefactors actually arrived because humans were their food source. Anyway, one day the visitors, as they were known, were making some donation to the children's hospital when a protestor pulled the skin away revealing the true lizard like skin of the aliens. The live tv feed was immediately stopped. A few days later, the scene was reenacted, with well armed guards just off camera. Maybe Ms James will need to do that next time she appears to be adored by the masses.

The sentencing was scheduled for Nov. 26, but on Friday, Merchan said that date "is adjourned."

President Biden and former President Donald Trump on Wednesday made their plans to officially debate, but the offer from the Biden team came with several strings attached. Trump gave Biden an open invitation to debate anytime, anywhere, and Biden rose to the challenge, telling Trump to "make my day" in a heavily edited video on social media. Alongside Biden's announcement came a letter from his campaign to the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD), and that letter revealed a few critical limits that Biden's team was placing on any debate between him and Trump.

An area in Squad member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s district is being described as looking more like a Third World country as opposed to a thriving American neighborhood, as desperate migrants block up sidewalks selling food and shilling clothing items while prostitutes openly solicit sex from passersby — reportedly including teens. The neighborhoods of Corona, Jackson Heights and Elmhurst — a once-vibrant community in northwestern Queens — has now essentially deteriorated into a large flea market with trash overflowing on street corners, leading to unsavory and unhygienic conditions, as video obtained by Fox News Digital shows.

A powerhouse music rights label is preparing to sever its ties to Roger Waters as a direct result of the legendary British rocker’s inflammatory comments about Israel and Ukraine, sources familiar with the matter told Variety on Tuesday. The Berlin-based BMG, a firm that acts as both a music publisher and record label, first inked a publishing deal with Waters in 2016. But that deal is being scrapped in the wake of Waters’ vocal criticism of Israel, which some—including ex-bandmate David Gilmour—have characterized as antisemitic.

Global Warming? Arctic Ice at Highest

One of climate alarmists’ favorite predictions is that the Arctic is losing its ice due to global warming, something elites have claimed for decades. New data shows, however, that Arctic ice is actually increasing! Climate has always changed and will continue to do so until the real apocalypse (not the fake one climate alarmists have been predicting as imminent for decades). With more than 50 years of failed climate change predictions behind them and a track record of consistent and total untrustworthiness, you’d think that the doom prophets would have given up.

The Biden administration quietly rescinded a Trump-era regulation allowing companies to transport liquefied natural gas (LNG) via rail in a victory for environmental groups. In a federal filing Friday ahead of the holiday weekend, the Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) formally suspended the 2020 authorization of LNG transportation in rail tank cars. The rule will remain in effect until either a permanent rule regarding LNG rail tank car transportation is proposed and finalized — a process that may take several months — or June 30, 2025.

People are afraid; they're not just mad because they lost an election,” she said. Without giving a reason, Reid warned the small amount of viewers she had left that Republicans were going to “control everything.”

The nomination of former Florida AG Pam Bondi for the position of U.S. Attorney General is a big mistake; not for the corrupt background of Bondi that we presume President Trump is not aware of, but rather for the background of Pam Bondi the Deep Swamp is almost certainly aware of. Within the background story of state AG corruption and unlawful activity, Pam Bondi is very easily leveraged, blackmailed and controlled. I presume at this writing that President Donald Trump is completely unaware of what Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi did during her time in office.
