"knowingly downplayed the number of Covid deaths in nursing homes"

Wow, that's quite the understatement. If printing that was the price to get Cuomo to sit down, maybe you should have just passed.

I don't care what Andrew Cuomo has to say about anything, unless he is going to admit he screwed - and inadvertently killed-the people he governed during Covid.

That he is likely to be the next mayor of NYC is a sad commentary on that city.

What's even sadder is that it's between him and the champagne socialist who grew up in such wealth that they think everything should be free.

"The Supreme Court gave President Trump the green light to end temporary protected status for more than 300,000 Venezuelans in the United States, laying the groundwork for their deportations. 'This is the largest single action stripping any group of noncitizens of immigration status in modern U.S. history,' Ahilan Arulanantham, a lawyer for Venezuelan plaintiffs in the case, told NBC News."

Leave it to the leftist cadre at FP to quote the activist lawyer for the alien plaintiffs rather than the Supreme Court on a decision they don't like. Were FP an honest outlet, its headline would've read: "The Supreme Court ruled illegal the Biden Administration's unprecedented, wholesale refusal to abide by the federal statutes that require any parole of foreign nationals into the United States to be conducted on a case-by-case basis, instead of en masse without any assessment of the potential parolee's criminal history or of his purpose in seeking entry into the United States."

Bugs in my lollipops!? What to do? I really liked those old dyes. RFK, Jr. should be impeached (or removed; or forced to resign; whatever).

I was hoping for something better than American Yellow Journalism and American princesses like Bari the National Socialist Weiss and grifters like Andrew Cuomo the holier than the Pope Catholic . I know about 1939 and the final solution of the founder of Christianity the author of the Final Solution Saint Augustine of Hippo a rabid virulent anti-Semite the author of The Final Solution and the founder of Christianity in the fourth century and Peter the Hermit another virulent "Christian" antisemite and genocidal maniac and founder of the Crusades. It was Mario Rubio's Hero Fulgencio Batista who began Saint Augustine's Final Solution in Havana in 1939 with help from Roosevelt, Chamberlain , Pius XII, Lord Beaverbrook, Canada's William Lyon Mackenzie who applauded Hitler's attempt at Augustine of Hippo's Final solution.

I am happy I only subscribe monthly . My Washington Post subscription ended in February, my New York Times expired in September and I said Mourner's Kaddish for a country I was loved in November. America has inherited the wind.

Something smells hinkey. Wendy McMahon bring ousted now, after Kamala's post-production interview edits being a known fact for months? Someone's not letting an old crisis go to waste. Biden's mental decline "scandal" that's been a known fact for years being used to threaten people's careers… again, why now? Why not back then?

Cancer sucks, but Jill Biden, the mainstream media and Joe's staff coverup of Joe's health sucks even more. I wish Joe nothing but the best for his recovery, but the truth remains... Joe was unfit for President back in 2020. Still can't believe he wanted to run again.

I think his family had/have a lot to lose and pushed him to run. If nothing else, they can’t live the lavish life to which they’ve become accustomed. Not just “Dr” Jill and his crackhead son, but his brothers and other extended family. VDH has some great insights on this, how now that he’s out of office and politically useless, Joe has no money coming in. Nobody’s buying Hunter’s paintings, there ain’t gonna be a Biden Library…I bet they milk this cancer diagnosis for all they can.

Motivated by "campaign conributions" from hospitals, Cuomo killed thousands of people.

So, he's exactly what NY City deserves.

So either Biden’s doctor lied on his report or he committed serious malpractice.

Listen to the clip of the interview of Secty Burgum by Dave Freiburg of All In. The proposed budget cuts aren’t nearly enough, but Burgrum says the US has $100 Trillion of uptapped assets—land, oil, gas, minerals—and we must start selling then to pay down the debt. Freiburg said we need to go back to 2019 pre covid budget. These would go a long way towards fixing the deficit

Unfortunately, selling assets doesn't balance a budget.

"Yesterday, Trump had a two-hour phone call with Russian president Vladimir Putin—then told the press that Russia and Ukraine “will immediately start negotiations” to reach a ceasefire. Earlier in the day, Vice President J.D. Vance had told reporters that if talks continued to be unsuccessful, “then we’re eventually going to say, ‘This is not our war.’ ”"

Question: Do Either Side Really want to End This War?

Vance is saying if there is no peace agreement the U.S. will withdraw its support from Ukraine. What more encouragement does Putin need to keep the war going? We should be saying if Putin doesn't make peace we will double the aid to Ukraine.

Some people/leaders (I'm talking Ukraine/Russia, Iran, China) need to understand Donald Trump Really Wants Peace. The only way to make them understand is to show one of them what The Alternative Looks Like.

Right Now We've make a Deal with Ukraine to get their Rare Earth Minerals (ie we've got skin in the game). Those B-2's F-14's are still sitting on Diego Garcia, 2 CV Battle Carrier Groups in the area, and I'd wager a couple of SSN/SSBN doing their impersonations of a hole in the oceans. Point being at some point Donald Trump is going to show He Means It. The Question is Russia or Iran?

“Deep in President Trump’s budget bill, which will be put to the House this week, is a proposal to eliminate a $56 million grant that funds the distribution of Narcan.”

The role of the federal government should be to protect the people, not take care of the people – let the states do that so the people can keep closer watch at a government that will inevitably become corrupt, as human nature is self-serving, always and who runs the government?

But, aside from that thought, why should we get “free” Narcan for someone who purposely put a deadly drug in their body, when there is no “free” nitroglycerin for heart disease patients or insulin, a life-saving drug for diabetics (although one could argue that heart disease and diabetes type 2 might be self-inflicted)?

But the bottom line is that America has over 36 trillion dollars of unsustainable national debt; there simply is no money to pay for “free” Narcan.

What is the clause in the Constitution that authorizes the federal government to provide free narcan?

Because Americans SELDOM take responsibility for their actions. Because, in America, saying that "you made your bed, now lie in it" is unacceptable. That's why we have all these frivolous malpractice lawsuits that would be tossed out in 5 minutes in any other country. It's not the doctor's fault if you have a complication while he's trying to treat a disease that you did to yourself. Except in America.

We are wasting a TON of money in this country on politically-correct treatments. God forbid one would ask: why are we wasting tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical care on somebody who hasn't contributed and won't contribute a fraction of that to society?

The Narcan issue is a difficult ethical issue. On the one hand I agree people voluntarily playing with OD fire should not expect to be saved each time. On the other hand, it is hard to justify letting someone die if there was a somewhat simple (if expensive) fix (no pun intended.) I am torn.

What about the fact that we can't afford to get this band-aid?

Deb Hill's avatar

Why should I pay for the band-aid? I have sympathy for addicts and alcoholics, because I am one. But you can't save someone who doesn't want to be saved. The money would be better spent helping those who need and want the help.
