This is, of course, why the SAVE act is a start. Fascinating that the 'mainstream' Dems don't think they will be eaten. Even more so the Tillis, Cassidy crew. Colorado is a beautiful state but now run by a system imported from Chicago. He said so to my face at a restaurant he briefly owned decades ago. And now they have DSA in their punchbowl. The DSA thinks they will be on top too, but they are playing with Islamists. The anti-Shah communists can't tell you how that will turn out because they were unalived.
The muslims are far more threatening than the lefties. Once there are enough muslims in the city they will break ranks with the lefties and downgrade them to the status of infidel just like all the other non-muslims. Muslims are not hiding their intent, they announce this daily on x.
The takeover by communists/socialists/marxists was gradual, then sudden. I lived in NYC through the mid 1980s. It then was trending radical left. But what they've elected this week, with less than 7% of the voting population in most districts, is remarkable: Islamists, anti-American, anti-Semite communists. I'm afraid NYC has gone past the point of no return. Apathy rules the day.
The middle class continues to be carved out - the firefighters and cops all live on Staten or Long Islands. NYC is fast becoming Cuba, inhabited solely by the nomenklatura and the poor and lower middle class. I'm surprised big private employers, ie JPMorgan, remain. They just spent $3bln on their new headquarters. But they employ more in Dallas than in NYC. Citadel was smart, formally moving to Fla., despite their plans for that massive HQ building in midtown NY.
I think - I can't prove it - that The Machine pushed you out, sir. Most states are corrupt through lack of competence. The same concept inhabits our Congress; Trump knows exactly - and is demonstrating - what our problems are and how to fix them. Companies pay dumb engineers like me to fix problems where the opposite happens in governments.
Almost hard to know where to begin: First, I guess is the limerick about the young lady from Niger who rode on the back of the tiger. Next would be the "First they came for the Jews..." poem by Martin Niemöller. The seems to be an expectation that someone will come to save them. Don't know who but someone. Maybe George as is let George do it... If George doesn't show up it's his fault for not showing up, not theirs for not doing anything. And it's all Trump's fault anyway. BTW: Thank you for the card. Usually all I get from Republicans is a letter asking for more money.
Your points are spot on today. Can’t add anything to perfection, other than to suggest we all pray and exert all our energies possible to defeat radicalism/Islamism/Socialism/Communism in ANY form. All of the above are inimical to our Constitutional Republic and the American way of life.
Great point Jeff, I would be surprised if any of the major financial institutions are still in NYC in another decade. Not only because of the party NYC is taking into the abyss but technology will result in being able to have staff anywhere in the country responding to the needs of the clients. I believe this is will definitely be true for the “Private Banks” especially as the top 5 percent concentrate wealth as well as relocate to Florida and Texas.
The absurdities of political power brokers who rationalize and justify irrational and unjustifiable policies are so glaringly obvious to those who are unbiased in making an unbiased analysis of why people are leaving states like California, New Jersey, Illinois and New York and moving south and it "ain't just for the weather!"; It's a combination of high taxes, money being spent on ridiculous things including illegal aliens while crying poor, and perpetuating inflammatory rhetoric aimed at divisiveness rather than bipartisanship, creating hostile environments for businesses and Independents and conservatives.
As usual, they will react too late, rather than responding in a timely and appropriate fashion, because that is their history.
Most important perhaps, is that the President posted something today that is indicative of his upcoming strategies, which have not yet really been revealed, to fight communism in America, which is a sentence I thought I'd never have to write after growing up in the 1960s. 😄. Based on what these eyes have read and ears have heard, and obviously I can't confirm any of it, because I have no clue how accurate it is or will be, we could be in for a fascinatingly entertaining battle over the next 2 years plus to address that.
I will assure you of one thing though - our President and Cabinet members, at least most of them, are as concerned about this as you and I and most of the people on this thread, and since they take action rather than just talk better than most, if not all previous administrations of our lifetimes, I look forward to seeing what transpires in these next couple dozen months.
Surely the Counsellors Row/First Ward machine still exists in some form. It’s easier to maintain control if you have a Dem/GOP split to pit against each other. Neither party can gain too much power.
Isn’t allowing a single party like communism to take over presenting an existential threat to the power brokers in the city?

The Dems have become the useful idiots for the Marxists and the muslims. They would have to get smarter just to be stupid.

Astute and succinct, though accurate, assessment.

Charlie Hedbo redux is in our future - unless we wake up and push back. It all happens when good people stand silent.
How do power politics work in Chicago now?
