Speak your mind — that’s why we built this. But keep it civil. No threats, no slurs, no doxxing. Attack the argument, not the person. If you can’t say it at a town hall, don’t say it here.

I say fire the New York city mayor and the Pograsof elites of city and have Trump put some leadership to run New York City. Hay Trump knows what he is doing right on right on the man is good 👍

This is no surprise. When you look at all of the money that has left NYC - all those people who used to pay heavy taxes in NYC - The city is going broke. A few weeks a go there was a report that NYC was struggling to pay it's bills. At that time I wasn't thinking about teachers raises but they are just another victim of Mamdani's incompetence. At hat time I did look at how many Retired NYC employees there are. There are 160,982 retired NYC employees drawing pensions. As of 2025 that payout was $6,180,000,000 per year. How long before they cannot afford to pay out those checks each month? In 2025 NYC paid out another $2,600,000,000 in cash welfare. About 33% of NYC residents receive some form of government assistance. How long will that be sustainable with all of the lost revenues? Something I don't see mentioned but has to be in play - with all of the people leaving the housing market must be saturated with sales. When so many homes are for sale that drives prices down- it's a buyer's market. When the property values decrease their taxes decrease with them. NYC is hemorhhaging money at this point but the real pain hasn't even started yet. They have had the rolling black outs this summer due to their dependence on AOC's new green deal - which is being exposed for the bust that it is. When you look at the daily power demands of NYC solar has no way of keeping up. I am not saying solar is a bad thing - I'm saying it is not at the point where it can be relied on for steady power - especially in large cities.

It's abhorant to read a letter to the editor expressing wonderment at the absence of
murder as normalcy. Have we come this far "downhill"? Hmm?

"PROGRESSIVE" - meaning "PROGRESS in WHAT DIRECTION?? As our notion "progresses AGAINST God and HIS ways we face inevitable destruction! "One nation UNDER God and HIS rules for living" is the ONLY way that we CAN be blessed! BE SERIOUS!!!
