At least 10 hospital executives from Nassau University Medical Center, including its CEO, have put in their resignations in response to what they called a “hostile takeover” by Gov. Kathy Hochul, according to sources in the hospital. CEO Meg Ryan confirmed to The Post that she and other leaders in the hospital have resigned effective in July, so that they can help oversee the hospital board’s transition, she revealed. “[New York State] has made it very clear that they do not want me to be in the CEO role,” Ryan told The Post about her decision to step down. “It was the hardest decision I had to make in my career.”

Hopefully they will testify at the FBI investigation of the dem politicians and their friends who took the BILLION dollars from the hospital. NY is a very, very, corrupt state. Please dem voters, look at what these people are doing. They are bankrupting you.

Without looking into the details it is difficult to see who is lying, who is responsible for losses and why Hochul thinks she knows best. All I know is that a mental health facility in New York is probably necessary.

The governor's office has repeatedly denied that they want to transform the hospital into a mental health facility. This is proof that it will be transformed.

New York State government is the most corrupt in the United States. Governor Hochul is a total horror show, but the electeds in the Legislature, both Assembly and Senate are not only corrupt, but the most uneducated, illiterate bunch NYS has ever elected. They make Hochul look like a scholar and competent. This is a one party state, run by a democrat party that is left of Maduro in Venezuela. NYS is spiraling out of control and given the absolute incompetence of the Republican leadership, there is no hope in sight. The republican chair, Ed Cox, Nixon son-in-law is a total joke as is the rest of the republican party. A once great state, a pivotal state for the country is imploding at an alarming rate.

I read this story and kind of felt the same way I did about all the federal workers who are losing their jobs. The sense of entitlement is really impressive! What makes the hospital leadership think they are any more entitled to run a government-funded entity than whoever the head of the government decides? A case of subordination me thinks.......

Hochul is showing us what real "Fascism" looks like. The Left now define the word to mean "conservative" but it actually means that people in government control of all businesses and institutions.

The article says that the hospital operated at a loss of $500 million over the past 5 years but fails to state why. Could it be that they were forced to treat illegals who don't pay and to treat Medicaid recipients whose reimbursements are artificially low? The Governor is just afraid to admit that it was Democrat policies that created those losses.

They don't know who will be on the board yet because the governor is still taking bids for the positions. Every person that gets on the board will have government connections. Btw, NY State government is an oxymoron. They don't govern! They buy votes and line their pockets. Just like Washington.

With more and more people working from home these days, NYC is going to continue to lose taxpayers. White collar workers are increasingly able to work from home and avoid the hassle and danger in the city. "Escape from New York" indeed.

Donald Trump's efforts to reach an agreement with Iran on ending its nuclear program just got a lot more complicated. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) released a "comprehensive" report on Iran's nuclear program requested by the agency's 35-member board. The report confirmed that Iran had been carrying out clandestine nuclear activity at three sites long suspected of conducting weapons research. It also concluded that Iran had vastly increased its stockpile of highly enriched uranium (HEU), spinning up 50% more as of May 17 than they had previously reported. That translates into the capability to construct up to nine nuclear bombs.

Longtime Democratic Rep. Jerrold Nadler slammed President Trump for “sowing chaos” nationwide after federal agents handcuffed one of his aides inside his lower Manhattan office.

The CNN anchor has been a reliable cheerleader for all things Democrat and a snide anti-Trumper, but dramatically broke ranks by daring to co-author a book about Joe Biden’s cognitive decline and the White House cabal that tried to conceal it from the public. For his trouble, Tapper is being mocked by former allies and labeled a traitor,

Trump’s announcement came at U.S. Steel’s Irvin Works in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, where he held a rally celebrating the “planned partnership” between U.S. Steel and Japanese company Nippon Steel to keep U.S. Steel in America. “Today, I have a major announcement, and are you ready to hear this?” Trump asked the crowd, drawing cheers. We are going to be imposing a 25 percent increase–we’re going to bring it from 25 percent to 50 percent the tariffs on steel into the United States of America, which will even further secure the steel industry in the United States,” Trump said. “Nobody’s going to get around.

Palestinians picking up food packages from the Trump administration-backed American alternative to the United Nations (UN) in Gaza were reportedly shocked the aid was free, having become used to being charged for it. As Breitbart News reported, the new Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) was launched to provide an alternative to the UN, which either fails to deliver trucks of aid or allegedly lets Hamas steal the supplies. Hamas then keeps the aid (especially fuel) for itself, sells the aid on the black market, or makes Palestinians pay inflated prices for it.

In the olden days, the world was run on a feudal system. There were a handful of mostly inter-related nobles who lived in palaces, wore fancy clothes, and ate sumptuous food. They were served by a large class of serfs who did the unpleasant things like digging latrines, plowing fields, slaughtering animals, tanning leather, and all of the other work needed for the nobles to live in luxury. In return, the nobles kept the serfs from starving but generally oppressed them and sometimes did so gratuitously for their own amusement.

Planned Parenthood celebrates the fact that it aborted – slaughtered – 402,230 babies last year, according to its latest report. That’s over 1,100 lives a day – the most ever. Last year, taxpayers were forced to give another three-quarters of a billion dollars to the abortion giant – almost $800 million. That’s nearly $2.2 million of our tax dollars every single day. It appears life is good for Planned Parenthood post-Dobbs, a case in which we filed helping overturn Roe v. Wade. Now it’s time to stop funding the abortion industry once and for all.

Ukraine has launched a “large-scale” drone attack against Russian military bombers in Siberia, striking more than 40 warplanes thousands of kilometres from its own territory, a security official said. The claims could not be independently verified. But if confirmed, the attacks would mark Ukraine’s most damaging drone strike of the war to date, amid an escalation in cross-border incursions before planned peace talks in Istanbul on Monday. Ukrainian security services are carrying out a large-scale special operation aimed at destroying enemy bombers far from the front, in Russia,” the official was quoted by Agence France-Presse as saying, adding a fire had broken out at the targeted Belaya airbase.
