I don’t live in NYC but it seems that my tax dollars are being used to bail them out. Again. I’m certainly not happy about this. Kathy Hochul will definitely not be getting my vote.

In the last 2 years, Kathy Hochul has robbed New York coffers of $4 BILLION Dollars 💸 to bail out NYC. Now she’s attempting to give them another $2 BILLION 😡. Most of these monies don’t even go to Legal Residents 😱. Another reason why New Yorkers are fleeing in droves…..

ELECTION FOR GOVERNOR 2026…..VOTE HER OUT!!

Vote BRUCE BLAKEMAN for Governor 🇺🇸👍🏻

No More Wishy-Washy: If You Want Votes, Take a Stand (On Everything)

As of April 6, 2026, the situation involving the United States and Iran continues to escalate. Public threats are being made about targeting infrastructure, tensions are rising across the region, and the possibility of deeper involvement—potentially even ground operations—is no longer something people can dismiss outright. And at this point, the standard for leadership needs to change. Anyone…

Petty NY County MAGA Official Refuses To Lower Flags For Jimmy Carter

Cruelty is the point.

Conover Kennard at Crooks and Liars:

A petty Republican county executive on Long Island has refused to lower flags to half-staff to honor the late President Jimmy Carter. Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman has declined to comment on his divisive decision as Americans mourn the passing of a former President. CBS News reports. [...] Blakeman is a MAGA piece of Trump enabling shit. The disgraced former President, who is set to darken the White House doors again, plans to crash Jimmy Carter's funeral. And he's upset that flags will be at half-staff during his inauguration because it's all about Donald. Just so you know what kind of MAGA he is, last July, the New York Times reported that Blakeman had recruited 75 people for a force of "special deputies" to deploy during emergencies. Many of them were former police officers. Critics described it as a militia force answering only to him. Well sure, why not? In other trivia, his ex-wife is Lady Nancy Shevell, who is now married to Sir Paul McCartney of The Beatles. Ha ha, that must kill him! His ex married a Beatle!

This move reeks of whiny snowflake behavior pandering to the MAGA dingbats on Long Island.

Judge strikes down Long Island county’s anti-trans sports ban - LGBTQ Nation

Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman (R) “acted beyond the scope of his authority,” according to the decision.

John Russell at LGBTQ Nation:

A New York judge overturned a Long Island county’s ban on trans women and girls participating in women’s and girls’ sports.

As the Associated Press reported, on Friday Judge Francis Ricigliano ruled that Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman (R) “acted beyond the scope of his authority” when he issued his February 22 executive order banning the Nassau County Department of Parks, Recreation, and Museums from issuing permits to women’s and girls’ sports teams that include transgender athletes. The executive order would have affected 100 athletic facilities and would have been a de facto ban on trans women and girls participating in recreational sports in the county. Ricigliano’s decision is the result of a lawsuit brought by the New York Civil Liberties Union on behalf of the Long Island Roller Rebels, a Nassau County-based women’s roller derby league, challenging Blakeman’s executive order. Citing New York’s Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act (GENDA) and guidance from the state Division of Human Rights, the league argued in its lawsuit that Blakeman’s order constituted discrimination based on gender identity, which is explicitly prohibited in the state. However, the judge’s ruling focused only on Blakeman’s authority as county executive to issue the anti-trans order.  

Glad to see Nassau County’s bigoted ban on trans women playing in women’s sports struck down.
