4 concrete reasons not to vote Hochul:
She extended the state of emergency that enabled her largest donor to receive a $600,000+ no bid COVID contract
Her top aide was a Chinese spy
She forced babies to wear masks while standing next to them maskless flaunting the stupidity and hypocrisy that damaged an entire generation of children
Her running mate, @AdrienneEAdams invited a CHILD RAPIST to sit at her City Hall table
Take aways?
She’s corrupt
She’s inept
She damaged children
Her LG not only DOESN’T fight FOR women & children but thinks that someone who anally raped a 12 year old girl should be valued instead of banished from society
Don’t pretend to care about NY & morals while voting for Hochul. These two things can not both be true.
A @NassauExec vote IS an ANTI Hochul vote.
ALSO Saritha for AG because laws matter. Not just a suggestion. @sarithaforny is the real deal and beyond capable as opposed to @NewYorkStateAG who selectively decides who is prosecuted according to the protest du jour
Share and encourage any of you’re friends who have more than one brain cell to vote based on facts not feelings

My 3rd daily @sarithaforny post!
This is why we need Saritha more than ever. Vote like your life depends on it, because it does.

Let this incident serve as yet another reminder that those who engage in blatantly antisocial behavior in public settings aren’t merely displaying a lack of manners. Whether it’s smoking or playing loud music, what they’re doing is daring those around them to confront them. If passengers stay silent and avoid eye-contact, the antisocial thug gets to tell himself it’s because he’s such a badass. If someone does speak up, the antisocial ruffian gets to use that as an excuse to give in to his violent impulses.
Common sense NYers. Are we next? What is the plan? I don’t think I could stand by and watch my city & business burn because of the policies these ppl have voted for
This video is currently all over social media. Many are expressing sorrow for this woman and sadness at her outrage. My take on it is different. The look you see on her face is not outrage…it’s realisation. It is the look of a white, liberal lefty woman suddenly realising that her entire worldview is/was totally wrong. That what she had spent her life arrogantly portraying as her higher morality and understanding was in fact “suicidal empathy” as described by @GadSaad and that empathy was going to destroy her entire society.

MEANWHILE, IN HIS CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT…
Out of NYC’s 51 City Council districts:
#1 WORST - Rodent complaints
#2 WORST - High school graduation rate
#3 WORST - Class C immediately hazardous housing violations
#8 WORST - School safety incidents
#9 WORST - Shooting incidents
#11 WORST - Heat complaints
#18 WORST - 311 calls
EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES:
50% English proficiency
47% Math proficiency
49% Chronic absenteeism
Taken together, these aren't isolated failures.
Based on cumulative performance metrics tracked, he is objectively in the bottom decile of council representatives.

NEW INVESTIGATION: NYPD's own records show who really pays for New York's violent crime.
Pick any year. The answer doesn't change.
Every year since 2018, Black New Yorkers have been victims of murder, rape, robbery and felony assault at more than 4x the White rate. Hispanic New Yorkers: roughly 3x.
For murder, it's worse: 10 to 17x the White rate for Black New Yorkers. 3 to 7x for Hispanic New Yorkers.
Black and Hispanic New Yorkers are half the city. In the first half of 2026, they were 3 of every 4 violent-crime victims whose race NYPD recorded.
All of this while the NYPD touted the fewest first-half murders in city history. Murder fell. Assault didn't.
Felony assault victims: up 50% from the first half of 2019. For every murder, 117 felony assaults.
No group was spared. Every group's rate rose by more than a quarter from 2019 to 2025, White New Yorkers included.
It spans Letitia James's tenure, the bail law changes, Kathy Hochul's tenure and Mamdani's first six months. The records can't say who caused it. They say, precisely, who bore it.
I tried to break my own numbers. Removed assaults on police. Removed rape. Froze the population. Applied the Census Bureau's own undercount figures. Counted every victim with no race listed as White.
Black New Yorkers still came out at 3x the White rate or more. Every time.
Victims, not offenders. NYPD's numbers, not mine.
