The Port Authority Bus Terminal is so crowded with commuters waiting for buses amid a massive winter storm that the agency is blocking any more people from entering, officials said. Officials closed the doors to the facility at about 5:15 p.m. because so many passengers are waiting for buses that aren’t heading in or out. “We’re recommending passengers take trains back to NJ due to weather causing bus delays,” said a PA spokesman. The agency even tweeted that riders should find other ways to get home.

Di Blasio’s an elected official whose wife is all for legalizing marijuana. Prime Minister Trudeau is an elected official who is nationalizing the drug in all of Canada on October 17 Though mainstream media attention was riveted on New York Mayor Bill de Blasio’s pricey plane ride getting him back to New York from Quebec, mid-holiday for the street renaming for NYPD Detective Miosotis Familia on the $3 million NYPD counterterrorism plane on Thursday, and though there are no media reports of his having met privately with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, was discussion of legalized marijuana the lure for...

After Tuesday’s terrorist attack, the useless pols of New York quickly assembled before the cameras to recite the usual litany of politically correct talking points. Looking like a lost giraffe, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio stepped up to the microphone and said that “the last thing we should do is start casting dispersions” on Islam. That moment of illiteracy was then followed by a burst of illogic, as he argued that the proper response to Islamic terrorism in a tolerant country is even more tolerance. Another fatuous figure at the post-attack press conferences was John Miller, the NYPD’s...

The feud between the mayor and the governor has expanded from spats on affordable housing and universal pre-K to a macabre form of accountability-gamesmanship over the death of 6-year-old Zymere Perkins, who was beaten to death this past September in Harlem. Before Perkins’s death, the city had already been given five prior reports about possible abuse, the revelation of which set off a firestorm over the city’s handling of the case. Immediately following Perkins death in September, Governor Andrew Cuomo ordered the state to look into the death, saying that, "It should remind us all that what government does matters,...

Taking a break from the towering inferno that is our presidential election, it’s worth noting some disturbing, yet sadly predictable, developments in our own backyard. The ad you see below is now plastered over subway cars taken by straphangers traveling to and from their jobs, which they have obtained legally in most cases. Even though the Obama administration’s attempt at unilaterally rewriting federal immigration law was rejected by the Supreme Court, the Jacobins who run the Mayor’s Office Of Immigrant Affairs never call it quits. In addition to helping illegal aliens take advantage of a federal program of dubious constitutionality,...

“It will be a great day when our schools get all the money they need and the Air Force has to hold a bake sale to buy a bomber” went the old bumper sticker often seen on Volvos. In Mayor Bill de Blasio’s New York, it’s more like, “It will be a great day when our schools get all the money they need and the mayor has to hold a bake sale to run mostly useless ads that do little but pat himself on the back.” We might have crumbling infrastructure, failing schools and an overburdened transit system, but the...

The de Blasio administration has backed away from its fight with the app company Uber, agreeing on Wednesday to drop for now its plan to place a cap on the number of vehicles operated by Uber in New York City. The agreement brings a temporary end to a fractious struggle that had consumed City Hall for several days, and inundated parts of the city with mailers, phone calls, advertisements and even celebrity endorsements. Under the agreement, according to three people familiar with the agreement, the city will conduct a four-month study on the effect of Uber and other for-hire vehicle...

Yes they do for their tolerating and promoting cop hatred. Also Bloomberg has blood on his hands for his taxing cigarettes to the hilt.

A NYPD officer was assaulted at the precinct, suffering a broken arm. Early reports indicate the perpetrator entered the precinct building and attacked the officer. All members of the New York Police Department are on high alert. DEVELOPING.

Bill de Blasio kept more than 100 people waiting for a commercial flight from JFK Airport to Puerto Rico because he was running late. The revelation will do nothing to alleviate New York's mayor of his reputation for tardiness. Passengers including city officials and holidaygoers had no idea why the boarding gate remained closed for 20 minutes after it was due to open on November 6. Finally, de Blasio arrived with an entourage of security, and the JetBlue flight was deemed ready for boarding. The mayor and his security were seated first before others were allowed to board. It has...

Coumo and Warren Wilhelm Press Conference

Mayor Bill "Uphill Both Ways Through the Snow" de Blasio had a rough day on Thursday, defending his decision to keep schools open during the big snowstorm from a whole slew of critics, including Today Show weatherman Al Roker, who attacked him on Twitter, saying the city failed to respond appropriately to a forecast that proved accurate. (De Blasio claimed that forecasts had underestimated the effects of the weather.) But while Roker is feeling conciliatory about the whole thing on Friday, de Blasio seems to be reeling a bit, canceling Friday's press conference as his administration weathers one of its...

(Former President Bill Clinton, left, administers the oath of office to New York City Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio, right, on the steps of City Hall Wednesday, Jan. 1, 2014, in New York.) (CNSNews.com) - President Bill Clinton administered the oath of office to Democrat Bill de Blasio on Wednesday, at the formal swearing-in ceremony for New York City's 109th mayor. De Blasio thanked his own family, then promised "our larger New York family" that he would end what he called the city's "inequality crisis." He said his mission reaches "deeper" than keeping neighborhoods safe and streets clean: "We are...
