Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani ripped New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio as “ pathetic ” and “ an idiot , ” during a Monday interview with Fox News host Martha MacCallum and claimed Black Lives Matter should be labeled a domestic terrorist organization .
MacCallum began the segment by playing a clip of President Donald Trump saying of the leadership in New York City , “ They ’ ve just let it go to hell .
And I don ’ t know : is it because they ’ re bad people or they have no common @ @ @ @ @ @ @ know what they ’ re doing , but our beautiful diamond of this country has been let go to hell.
” MacCallum noted the staggering rise in crime in New York City , then played a clip of de Blasio responding to Trump , saying , “ The president blusters and the president tries to draw attention to himself and rarely has much to back it up.
” MacCallum asked Giuliani , “ What would you say to Mayor de Blasio ?
” Giuliani answered : Mayor de Blasio is pathetic .
There @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can be so incompetent , and he is , that people actually die as a result of his being in office .
And that ’ s been the case with Mayor de Blasio , both during the pandemic and now with the irresponsible left-wing socialist actions that he ’ s taken .
He ’ s driven by a ridiculously failed philosophy , which somehow robs him of the ability to see reality .
So how would you , in the middle of a crime wave , disband the most effective part of your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ How would you let 8,000 people out of prison during a period of time like that ?
Or not go crazy over the new bail law that he and ( Andrew ) Cuomo put into effect so that all the rioters that were arrested would be put back out on the street within a day ?

He’s driven by a ridiculously failed philosophy, which somehow robs him of the ability to see reality.
So how would you, in the middle of a crime wave, disband the most effective part of your police department, the anti-crime unit?

The media might keep it a secret , but the hospitals have quietly emptied out their beds of COVID-19 patients , as large swaths of the country appear to have hit a de facto herd immunity threshold .
Meanwhile , no matter how much good news we see , those who treat us as subjects continue to create false panic , extend draconian and ineffective restrictions on liberty , and refuse to put out an exit strategy .
They are rapidly turning this lockdown into our domestic Afghanistan .
It ’ s now becoming clear , from every state and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the virus , that the virus burns out roughly around the 20 % seroprevalence benchmark , not at the 80 % threshold the fearmongers predicted .
Whether it ’ s Sweden , New York , or Arizona , the virus is going to do what it does – meaning it spreads for about six weeks in a given region and then moves on .
The only question is whether we will continue to destroy our society , mental health , and economy or achieve herd immunity without adding the man-made death toll .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ whether we aim for it or not .

The media might keep it a secret, but the hospitals have quietly emptied out their beds of COVID-19 patients, as large swaths of the country appear to have hit a de facto herd immunity threshold. Meanwhile, no matter how much good news we see, those who treat us as subjects continue to create false panic, extend draconian and ineffective restrictions on liberty, and refuse to put out an exit strategy. They are rapidly turning this lockdown into our domestic Afghanistan.
It’s now becoming clear, from every state and country that has reached saturation levels of the virus, that the virus burns out roughly around the 20% seroprevalence benchmark, not at the 80% threshold the fearmongers predicted. Whether it’s Sweden, New York, or Arizona, the virus is going to do what it does – meaning it spreads for about six weeks in a given region and then moves on. The only question is whether we will continue to destroy our society, mental health, and economy or achieve herd immunity without adding the man-made death toll. Herd immunity is going to happen, whether we aim for it or not.

This emphasis signals the candidate’s seriousness about expanding on the major legislative achievement of predecessor Barack Obama.
To that end, Biden’s campaign has floated a proposal projected to cost over $2 trillion over 10 years and add $800 billion to the national debt, much of which would amount to a transfer to already wealthy seniors and to the insurance companies that originally backed the ACA.
That plan would face resistance from conservatives. Dean Clancy, a senior health fellow with the libertarian Americans for Prosperity, described Biden’s plan as one “that puts our health care decisions in the hands of insurance companies and government bureaucrats rather than patients and providers,” criticizing it for reducing consumer choice—a likely avenue of attack in a future legislative battle.

The mass exodus, which amounts to 54 officers so far this year — with 23 leaving for other jobs and 31 retiring — comes as the city just approved a measure to defund the police and is debating other areas of reform as a result of Black Lives Matter protests.
In late July, San Francisco Mayor London Breed announced $120 million in police funding would be redirected to address disparities in the black community over the next two years. That was just the latest in a string of abuses that police have suffered in the last decade.
Many officers are also reportedly frustrated working under California’s Proposition 47, a measure that reduced many nonviolent felonies to misdemeanors and has resulted in little or no jail time for such crimes as hard drug possession and theft.
Now officers are effectively protesting the changes by packing their things and moving on.

In what can only be described as a media disaster, only 5.7 million people tuned in to the first night of the Democratic National Convention on the major broadcast networks, cutting the viewership from 2016 by more than half as the virtual event which many dubbed “as exciting as an infomercial”, proved a dud compared to the traditional live gathering.
According to Nielsen, from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. Eastern, Monday’s convention debut drew 2.1 million viewers on ABC, 1.9 million on NBC and 1.7 million on CBS. This is less than half the 11.6 million people who watched the first night of the event on those networks four years ago between 10 p.m. and 11:30 p.m., the website TV by the Numbers reported at the time.

Iowa State University administrators took action this week after an English teacher forbade her students to disagree with abortion , gay marriage , and the Black Lives Matter movement .
Students who signed up for ISU assistant professor Chloe Clark ’ s English 250 class for the fall semester learned in their syllabus that they would be “ dismissed ” from class if they argued against “ gay marriage , abortion , Black Lives Matter.

The same goes for any papers/projects : you can not choose any topic that takes at its base that one side doesn ’ t deserve the same basic human rights as you do ( ie : no arguments against gay marriage , abortion , Black Lives Matter , etc ) .
I take this seriously .

Iowa State University administrators took action this week after an English teacher forbade her students to disagree with abortion, gay marriage, and the Black Lives Matter movement.
Students who signed up for ISU assistant professor Chloe Clark’s English 250 class for the fall semester learned in their syllabus that they would be “dismissed” from class if they argued against “gay marriage, abortion, Black Lives Matter.”
The syllabus stated: GIANT WARNING: any instances of othering that you participate in intentionally (racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, sorophobia, transphobia, classism, mocking of mental health issues, body shaming, etc) in class are grounds for dismissal from the classroom. The same goes for any papers/projects: you cannot choose any topic that takes at its base that one side doesn’t deserve the same basic human rights as you do (ie: no arguments against gay marriage, abortion, Black Lives Matter, etc). I take this seriously.
Further, Clark wrote in the syllabus that her class will discuss books that “may contain violent or disturbing imagery” and offered to provide students with a “trigger warning.”
“If, at any point, you would like a Trigger Warning before viewings/readings that may contain this imagery, please let me know and I’m happy to provide them!” she wrote. – READ MORE
