THE MURDOCHS NO LONGER BELIEVE TRUMP CAN BE STANDARD BEARER FOR AMERICAN FASCISM

Thus the New York Post editorial slamming him.

JACKSON, MISS. IS WHAT YOU GET

when the public good is no longer considered, the wealthy refuse to pay taxes, and civil investment is starved.

IT’S LIKE THIS, MR. PRESIDENT

When you enact policy that benefits the American people, your approval rating rises.

MARCO RUBIO HAS HIS VERY OWN BILLIONAIRE

Who gives him very expensive toys.

But Sen.Rubio has the gall to call Americans seeking debt relief “freeloaders.”

BIDEN ACCURATELY CALLED OUT GOP FASCISM

And no matter how much defensive noise the Republicans (and the talking heads) make, he has to continue to tell the truth about them.

JUST WHAT NYC DOESN’T NEED: ANOTHER ANTI-PRESERVATIONIST IN HIGH PUBLIC OFFICE

Mark Levine, the new Manhattan Borough President, also refuses to support judicious landmark designation for the Eye Infirmary.

I wonder how much the real-estate industry contributed to his campaign?

CARLINA RIVERA IS DOWNTOWN DOYENNE OF DISPLACEMENT & DEMOLITION

Not surprisingly, she’s opposed to landmark designation for the landmark-quality, nineteenth-century former Eye infirmary on lower Second Avenue.

First Rivera sold out her constituents and violated her campaign pledge to defend Union Square South from De Blasio’s Tech Hub upzoning scam. Then the councilmember was part of the perfidious three on the City Council who brokered the former-mayor’s even more damaging and precedent-setting Soho/Noho/Chinatown upzoning scam. Her partners-in-abuse were ex-councilmembers Corey Johnson and Margaret Chin, both of whose careers in politics are now as irredeemably over as De Blasio’s himself.

DeSANTIS ATTACKS THE CORPORATE MEDIA THAT CREATED HIM

Like all of Fox ‘News”‘ pick-ups, Ron DeSantis was a complete nonentity when Fox started featuring him, but obviously willing to parrot the Murdoch anti-democracy line without the slightest bit of compunction or patriotism.

DeSantis only objects to any media, corporate or otherwise, that is fact-based and thus in a position to contradict the daily poisonous lies he spouts.

MY FATHER WAS AN ATTORNEY IN THE NAVY, TOO

just like the tail-switching fascist Ron DeSantis, but he didn’t strut around in fighter pilot drag like DeSantis does in his new ad, to which Meidas Touch responds by highlighting an actual Navy pilot veteran pull the wings off DeSantis and his absurd, low-camp dress up routine.

DE BLASIO & RIVERA’S BETRAYAL OF UNION SQUARE SOUTH

is paying off really big for developers, who are slowly turning it into midtown.

Ex-Mayor De Blasio aggressively and duplicitously pushed through the district’s upzoning in 2018 to please his developer funders, and local Councilmember Rivera reneged on her campaign promise to oppose upzoning without landmark and rent-regulation protections. Then her craven, compromised fellow members of the City Council waved it on though.

The NYC Landmarks “Preservation” Commission, disabled and coopted by De Blasio, has obstinately refused landmark designation for the district, despite the National Register of Historic Places citing it as highly significant.

Our municipal media is itself so much in the tank for big finance and development that it has barely covered this issue at all.

But Village Preservation is urging us to sign a petition to the City supporting designation.
