Cuomo Panel to New York State workers: gravy train over
It’s really a small recommendation when you think about it, but one, that no doubt will cause gnashing of teeth across the Empire state. A panel set up the new New York Governor has recommended a new tier for pension eligibility that will apply to new state employees and while it will have little affect…
Read MorePlanned Parenthood staff certainly use the word “confidential” a lot
New video from Live Action Films. This time they visited a Planned Parenthood clinic in New York.
Read MoreSnow is the least of New York’s problems
Much has been written about the travails of New York State. With each year of budget deficits, the solution always seems to be to raise tax rates. Higher tax tax rates cause people to leave the state, resulting in fewer taxpayers and thus less tax revenue and ever increasing deficits. So, it came a no surprise that the…
Read MoreWaiver on the way? Union cuts health care coverage for dependents
At first read, this seems to be a complex case, so let’s not all jump on the “it’s Obamacare” bandwagon, even though part of the problem is the new health care legislation. A “low-wage” health attendant union – an affiliate of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) – will be dropping coverage for its member’s…
Read MoreN.J. Democrat: How about $500 per year to exercise 2nd Amendment rights?
Pathetic. Disturbing. Unreal. It’s already totally unacceptable the state of New Jersey severely restricts residents concerning their 2nd Amendment rights, but now a New Jersey state legislator suggests – for $500 per year – the state would reconsider their opinion. They think they can generate tax revenue through the scheme.

This would be funny were it not for the fact that those proposing this legislation are actually serious. We all know that come January 1 everyone’s taxes will rise substantially. The Obama administration, however, seems to be backing an extension of the Bush tax cuts except for the “wealthy”, who are currently defined as anyone…
Read MoreNew York State has 200,000 government employees
I was just reading this post over at WINS 1010 concerning Gov. David Paterson’s (D-N.Y.) problem with the unions after his plans might result in – God forbid – state employee layoffs. I noted the state employs 200,000 workers. Guess how many Ford Motor Company has?
Read MoreNew York legislators suggest police shoot criminals in arms or legs only
Unbelievable. Brooklyn Assembly members Annette Robinson (D-Bedford Stuyvesant) and Darryl Towns (D-East New York), have put forth legislation that would require police officers – when a life is threatened – to shoot for arms or legs instead of center of mass. They mistakenly have replaced reality with a Hollywood movie.
Read MoreTerrorist judicial theater – civilian court antics on display
Michelle Malkin has a good column out this morning revealing what is happening right now in the civilian trial of Aafia Siddiqui, accused of attempted murder and assault of U.S. military personnel in Pakistan. Yes, she was caught in Afghanistan and brought back to America to face trial.
Read MoreKSM terrorist trail may be moved out of New York City
Suggesting Khalid Shaikh Mohammed be tried in New York City federal court was judicial theater in the first place, and now Mayor Michael Bloomberg has requested Attorney General Eric Holder take his road show somewhere else. Hey, I seem to remember we’ve got this out-of-the-way court set up somewhere warm…
