Joe Germanotta vs. Eric Adams, polish the Big Apple edition

I've never visited New York City. If NYC doesn't change dramatically, visiting NYC won't be on my bucket list anytime soon. That's especially true after listening to Joe Germanotta's interview with Sandra Smith and John Roberts.

Germanotta owns "the Italian eatery, Joanne Trattoria, on the Upper West Side." These days, Germanotta says "I would never raise two girls here again. It’s not safe anymore. The crime, it’s unpredictable. You don’t know where it’s going to happen, when it’s going to happen."

It's worth noting that one of his daughters goes by the stage name of Lady Gaga. During the interview, Germanotta said "The Upper West Side used to be pretty immune to this stuff, but now it’s come full-circle. It’s like the city took a step back 10 years. It’s the regional traffic that’s down. The Connecticut, the Long Island, New Jersey, Westchester [customers], they are not coming into New York City."

Germanotta isn't impressed with NYC Mayor Eric Adams, either:

Germanotta blamed Mayor Eric Adams for the city's regression, arguing that he hasn't seen significant progress since he took office.

"I don’t see a noticeable change. I don’t know if you do. I mean, there are still some things happening, the urination laws in New York have been lifted, the pot stores, they are everywhere in New York City…garbage is piling up," he said.

Eric Adams campaigned as a law & order guy. That's something Adams hasn't lived up to. That's quite the insult to Adams since he took over for Bill de Blasio. Not improving on de Blasio's record is something that most people didn't think was possible. Still, according to Germanotta, Adams hasn't improved upon de Blasio's crime record. Here's what Joe Germanotta said about the shape NYC is in:

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
