well, there's all kinds of cities

 that I ramble around

But New York, New York
Now there's a helluva town

You know it ain't no lie
And it ain't no guff
They got five big boroughs
chock full of stuff
They got skyscrapers, subways
and a sea of humanity (Loudon Wainright III)

The master fiddler was at it again yesterday....it doesn't add up and it doesn't make sense to the masses at CNN, but there he was.....the Fascist Despot was breaking bread and exchanging ideas with the Communist Mayor of NYC at the White House.

This goes against the narrative that the demon rats have been pounding into the dirt for 10 years.......the most evil man on the planet (according to turkey neck nancy) hosted , greeted, congratulated and collaborated with his sworn enemy.........but that's Trump.....That's Business....and that's what America voted for......an end to gridlock, an end to divisive, fight to death , resist and disrupt politics ........find a middle ground, find a common ground, give a little, take a little and try to come to a conclusion that benefits the country...NOT ONLY THE PARTY........the rank and file demons are waking up and realizing that they are swimming in a rip current.....it's a time for ideas and negotiations, they need a platform, you can't just say affordability.......HOW ?  and you still can, but probably shouldn't run a campaign of fighting and resisting Trump......not after the darling of the left just went to the oval office and was courteous to Hit - ler.........and will undoubtedly walk away eventually with a boatload of cash  for his NYC constituents.

NYC is a rare and different tune........the anger i feel at it's downfall is tied directly to the Love I feel for her 5 boroughs.......it was for me, the greatest and the only place to grow up...........I have felt that i was lucky to have been in work (at my desk on the lucky 13th floor of tower one) on 9/11.......i needed to be there, and i needed to survive.........had i been off that day or away from the city on business, i think the questions and the "not knowing" of whether i would have survived, would have driven me crazy and tortured my brain over the last 25 years.......and to a lesser extent, growing up in Brooklyn at the time when i did was my greatest blessing, the people, places and events we experienced cannot be overstated......but it also answered the inner question.........as Sinatra would sing.....if you can make it there.......well, you know the rest.............and i take solace and i feel that i did indeed not only survive, but i made it there.......and i will never turn my back on NYC...........i hope this dialogue between POTUS and the Mayor Elect will lead to some good for the city....or at least some life support.

2+3=BEEER

Well, like I said before you know
I ramble around
And meet a whole lot people out there
that put New York down
Of course half of them
ain't never been there
So some of that criticism just ain't fair

Sure I know
New York is dirty and ugly
and full of cockroaches
and gonorrhea and rats and junkies
and hookers, rude cab drivers
bad air, bad vibes and unemployment
and they don't pick up the garbage

Ah, but it's not boring

I can't wait

 wait for you to change your mind

It’s late, I’m trying to walk the line
Well, it’s way past midnight and there are people all around
Some on their way up, some on their way down (Dylan)

"we" know that TDS is real.....but sadly some people in this great country were not afforded the gift of common sense......they do not have the time, energy or brainpower to research and debunk all of the nonsense they read on the internet.....and so when i come across something egregious, well, i have to find the time to shed some natural light onto the dark meanderings of the afflicted.

I read some grumblings on FB the other day about Trump and the Banks scheming against America with their talk of 40 or even 50 year mortgages........you see, it's all part of Trumps evil plan.

First and foremost......nobody is forced to buy a home.....nobody is forced to take ANY mortgage, let alone one for 50 years.......but they should.......home ownership is the gateway to escaping the circle of poverty so many families seemed to be trapped in.

The avg American first time home buyer is now 40 years old.

Assuming you finally leave home and get a place of your own at say 25......that still means you are paying rent for 15 years........at the end of the 15 years you still have zero equity.

Let's say at 25 you scrape together a down payment and buy a home/apt with a 50 year mortgage.

In those same 15 years the rates will probably fluctuate, at some point when the rates are down you may chose to refinance for a better rate.

In those 15 years on the job you may see some pay increases or a bonus, at some point you may decide you can pay more than the monthly ask.....you can always send additional $$ to reduce your principal....and you may decide to refinance for a 30, 20 or even 15 year mortgage.

along the way you are establishing a healthy credit record, and other lenders will offer you better rates because you are NOT considered high risk.

Along the way you are establishing equity ownership....house prices generally increase over time, so the house you bought for 100K may be worth 125 or 130K , and in the event of a family emergency, you can chose to borrow verse the equity.

At the end of the 15 years you have SOMETHING.........you have your original down payment, plus the principal you have paid down, plus the probable increase in value of the home itself.

If you stay in the mortgage for the full 50 year term will you pay a lot more Interest than a traditional 30 year mortgage ? yes of course you will........Banks are businesses after all, not social workers.....but the good news is that nobody is forcing anyone to buy a home and take a mortgage.........side note JPM dipped down to $300......buy the dip

second side note.....Cheetos and Dorritos have decided to stop using artificial flavorings and dyes in their chips.......can't wait to hear the MSM media give Bobby Kennedy the credit for these healthy changes.

2+3= BEER     and 50 year mortgage

The air burns and I’m trying to think straight
And I don’t know how much longer I can wait

Here I am,

 and in this city, with a fistful of dollars
And baby, you'd better believe (Ace Frehley)

yesterday i awoke and decided enough was enough.....this Ranger home ice drought has got to end......Gabe Perrault was called up.....he chose to wear # 94 ( a great sign and ominous reminder) and the stumbling preds from Nashville were in town.........and so I donned my lucky new hooded sweathsirt and went straight to Molly Darcy's.....the closest thing to a Manhattan Mahogany Oasis i can find down here....and low and behold the Rangers played 60 strong minutes and chased the Preds starting goalie enroute to a comfortable 6-3 win........i declare the crisis is Over.......we have one of the best coaches of young talent and we have enough pieces in place that we should be a playoff contender.....and we absolutely be above .500 st home......so buckle up....we have a good team.....Sullivan is still playing with the lines and evaluating talent.....but i think we are ready for a run....

 2+3=BEEER         and RANGER GOALS !!

I'm back, back in the New York Groove
I'm back, back in the New York Groove
I'm back, back in the New York Groove
Back in the New York Groove, in the New York Groove

 While your kings and queens

Fought for ten decades
For the Gods they made (Jagger-Richards)

If the people of NY were not concerned enough with all the stories and resurfaced videos of Zohran Mandani, then i suppose nothing will ever change their minds...but again, i blog for the history books.......if the earth is still around in 100 years and the internet has not been purged by the mullahs, maybe these posts will shed some light on what was really happening while Nero Fiddled. 

First let me say that I left NY in 2000.......i can make observations, but i do not have a right to complain about whomever they elect. I, like so many others;  chose to move to NJ for some open space and some white Christian neighbors......I wanted the 5 boroughs to stay the same forever so that i could enjoy occasional visits....BUT i wasn't willing to sacrifice my adult life to stay and fight.

Gujarat is a region in Western India....Mandani claims the he is a Gujarat Moslem...he says people are amazed to hear this because PM Modi of India waged a genocide against the Gujarat Moslems (his words). He says defiantly that HE is one of the few to survive.(google it if you like).....such a tale of David and Goliath....some would be impressed.........now here is the truth ....and yes i read multiple accounts from both sides......a group of disgruntled minority moslems, living in the Biggest Hindu country on the Globe, attacked and burned a train of Hindu Pilgrims returning from a worship trip, they killed 59 Hindus.........and so this sparked 3 days of rioting and Hindu mobs attacking the moslems in retaliation ( gee sound familiar yet ?).  The official figures state that 1,044 people lost their lives.....790 of which were Moslems........the mass Genocide that Mandani miraculously survived never happened.......today there are over 5 MILLION Moslems in Gujarat.....so why would anyone be amazed by his existence ?  better question....this was only 24 years ago.....why would he make such outrageous, false claims ?  Because the world is filled with people that NEED a villian.....that crave tik tok conspiracies that make them feel better about themselves....people that can't be bothered by the truth when they are romanticizing by their own perceived victimhood......you know these fucking idiots.......the same ones that STAND with fictitious palestine ....even though Sharia Law calls for their beheading......Zohran must gave a good laugh at the over educated morons that are following his trail of bread crumbs to the alter of their own slaughter.

You see, The Moslems have been playing the long game for centuries, but have made enormous strides the past 100 years....they have a playbook that works very well for them. they infiltrate a region, then attack and massacre the majority .....then use the inevitable retaliation to recruit new naïve members and to sway global opinion as to whom the real victims are. it has been working .....and just by watching the protests in this country, it will continue to work....the simpletons that shun the first POTUS in decades to put the health of America ahead of everyone that is trying to destroy us....the morons that are addicted to the narrative that Israel is responsible for every rainy day.....the purple haired tranny-dykes that think islam is a religion of peace and tolerance........the moslems are not here to assimilate and succeed ( they way we define success) they are here to advance their cause of global dominance and forced conversion.....and like i said they now have a foot in Congress, the Senate, and multiple Mayors and city councils.....

to the people who said "let Mandani win, he'll bankrupt NY and that will be the end of socilaism"  i laugh in your general direction........what happened to Never Forget ? in the same city that saw 3,000 innocent people slaughtered at the hands of Moslems , we now have a Mullah Mayor.......do you really think anyone will hold it against the infiltrators in 20 years if New York goes bankrupt ? ......oh, and in case you forgot.......the real victims of 9/11 were the poor moslems that were afraid to wear a hijab on the subway in the aftermath......you get that through your thick skull Infidel.

2+3= GOATS milk you racist

Just as every cop is a criminal

And all the sinners saints

As heads is tails just call me Lucifer

I'm in need of some restraint

So if you meet me, have some courtesy
Have some sympathy and some taste
Use all your well learned politics
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, mmm yeah

don't speak too soon

 For the wheel’s still in spin

And there’s no tellin’ who that it’s namin’
For the loser now will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin’ (Dylan)

so here we are on election day......the nation once again goes to the Polls and cast their votes for their respective leadership.....I guess King Trump didn't cancel elections just yet.....maybe next year.

although the actual power of the Mayor of NYC may be limited, the psychological impact of electing an anti-Semite  moslem communist cannot be overstated. his mantra of going after the rich , to make things free for the masses is frightening.......and believe me.....it's supposed to be frightening......mandani is not afraid of the 1% club moving out of the city.....he is counting on it.....he wants to buy their precious land....BUT at a discount.........he wants to change the complexion of the city........he wants blue collar white folks to pack and run.....he wants trust fund moslems to buy up everything from the exodus jewish landlords.....that would be a giant step forward for the jihadists and their global intifada.......i think this is a real death struggle......i'm not waving the white  flag just yet.....early voting has been up significantly .....i have to think that benefits both Cuomo and Curtis...time will tell

over in joisey, i think Jack wins big.....and if he does, i hope his first agenda item is to stickup for Jersey resident who are being unjustly singled out by congesting pricing to pay for the MTA's disgustingly bloated budget.......if I am Jack i would workout a plan with Met Life Stadium to use their parking lots for Free Commuter parking Monday-Friday , and then offer free shuttle service to the Secaucus station just a few miles away....if even just 10% were to take this option (9 or 10K) it would hit NY in the pocket book for over $6 million a year........secondly, target NY business with the highest % of NJ residents on their payrolls.......offer them a tax break to incentivize relocation to the Garden State.....lastly , invest in the rails and even the buses, and offer subsidies to encourage NJ residents to leave the car at home and try mass transit again.....but when or if they do ......you then have to offer, clean, fast and reliable service.....it's that simple.

as simple as 

2+3=BEEER

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don’t stand in the doorway
Don’t block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There’s a battle outside and it is ragin’
It’ll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin’

i was talkin to my dcotor

 down at the hospital,

he says son it says here you're 27,

but that's impossible.

COCAINE......you look like you could be 45  (Jackson Browne)

it's now painfully clear that is the Govt shutdown is ALL about Obamacare.....both for illegals and legal citizens alike.....you see the projections came out for open enrollment for coverage in 2026.......well it seems that the cost of Obamacare is going up 26%.....IF the republicans cave and give in to subsidies.......and IF they Do Not.......well the costs are projected to double.....so somewhere in a dark cave, Schumer and his band of idiots probably got together and decided they would shut the govt to save Obamacare ....OR.....at least blame the republicans when obamacare implodes.

we all know that Obamacare is the biggest "contribution" to government that the demonrats have made in the past 50 years.....when it ultimately collapses they will have nothing to tout....except the inflation reduction act that created historic inflation....or the infrastructure bill that was just another version of the green new deal , and it hasn't resulted in any notable infrastructure projects......so they somehow have to steer the debate and convince their bases that the Republicans killed obamacare.....it was quite funny to see dipshit Durbin crying about the Republicans not funding his party's failed Monster Socialist Medical plan......but it's par for the course to see the demons punish citizens on behalf of the illegals......they insist on going down with a sinking ship.

Richie Torres represents a section of the Bronx.....a district.....not the full borough..the 15th district in the South Bronx has a total population of 750,000 people....and yesterday he claimed that over 300,000 people in his district receive SNAP benefits.......how many do you think are illegal ?  how many are working OFF the books and should not really be receiving the benefits based on their true income status, how many are adults living in Mammy's apt, playing video games and getting high all day......and how many are legitimate citizens living below the poverty line ? 

In any event....the avg SNAP benefit is $190.00 a month ...multiply that by 300K people and you have a reasonable $57MM a month......peanuts to a communist slob like George Soros.....surely he could slink out of the shadows and write a check to the 15th district....Republican citizens stepped up and ensured that the Military would get paid.....where are all the AWFUL women and wealthy nyc protestors ?  dip into your trust fund and pony up the cash to feed your wonderful neighbors.

on a national level we have 41 million receiving SNAP benefits ....over 7 Billion a month......imagine if we cleaned up the fraudulent claims ? the legitimate claims could probably see their monthly stipend increase to $250 a month.....you would think every American would want to see that happen.......think again......it's enough to make you sick.

6 7 was just declared the word or phrase of the year......it means absolutely nothing in reality, but speaks volumes to today's youth....it is their humorous answer to society........hmmm

2+3=BEEER

now i'm losing touch with reality

and i'm almost out of blow

it's such a fine line, i hate to see it go

Cocaine, running all around my brain

Philosophy, is the talk on a cereal box

 Religion, is the smile on a dog (Edie Brickell)

This Government shutdown really is a small picture of a much larger problem.......too many elected officials were elected based  off of sound bites or optics......they really don't understand the issues today, and they either do not have a constructive thought or they have become too paralyzed to voice their own ideas........fear that down the road their own words would be used against them.......but here is the thing .....if your thoughts and suggestions are authentic....if they are your own.......if you believe them at your core.......what are you afraid of ? and that eliminates the majority of those governing today........their thoughts belong to the party or their top intern.....they do not understand basic economics, let alone some of the complex stuff they carefully tap dance around..... and so they resort to Bully posturing, Trump derangement sound bites, matador avoidance, Let's have a conversation after these hot microphones are OFF, or my favorite....."my position is available on my website, and I'm either too stupid or lazy to regurgitate what my staff put together".  the sad thing is that those too afraid to govern are being rewarded by the shutdown......the confirmation process for new judges is being blocked/delayed.......air traffic controller new class........pay for the military and other no brainer issues are all idling in the slow lane.....it might be nice if the dbags were also missing paycheks.....but alas, Congress & Senate still get paid as if they were working.......talk about a corrupt system.

for all of about 12 seconds i was rooting for Toronto to beat the hated Dodgers......but that crackhead mayor Ford decided to use our national past time to air commercials , falsely portraying Ronald Reagan of criticizing POTUS use of Tariffs   .....the Reagen foundation immediately cried foul and went on record to say the Gipper was being manipulated by the deceptive commercial.....and in truth President Reagan himself absolutely applied tariffs on Japan because of a threat to National Security.......didn't stop Canada from continuing to air the commercial all weekend......and their target is the SCOTUS and an upcoming hearing for Nov 5th on President Trumps use of tariffs.........talk about a foreign Nation interfering in American Politics ? well of course nobody in our stupid country is even paying attention or understands the intended purpose of the commercials....did i say nobody ?  i stand corrected.....the Great Donn has immediately broken off all discussions with Canada on trade and is planning to Raise their tariffs.......Slainte Baby.

i know it's all part of the judicial game, but it's still disgusting that these defense attorney's are most concerned with how their client can dress for his trial of killing Charlie Kirk ?  it's a blatantly obvious statement that the American jury system is filled with hapless clowns that could easily be swayed by a defendants appearance....and not the facts.

Brian Kelly OUT at LSU.........couldn't happen to a bigger douchebag than Kelly.........I would hate to see Kiflin leave Ol Miss.......but i do hope LSU finds a good coach.

if NYC falls for this act by mandani, they deserve what thy get......he gave a speech last week about 9/11......and how his poor Auntie was afraid to ride the subway in the aftermath because of rampant islamaphobia.......yep, he is serious.......3,000 innocent people murdered by his fellow moslems and his aunt was the true victim........turns out his aunt wasn't even in the country.....and so he quickly pivoted and said he was talking about someone he referred to as auntie......she conveniently died a few years ago.........he talks about affordable housing......but he is a multi millionaire and his wife is even richer.....they live in a rent controlled apartment that was supposed to be for low income individuals......yep....think carefully NY....

Choke me in the shallow water,

before i get too deep
