Joe Piscopo & his army of supporters will NOT allow this to happen. Thank you Joe, Al, Frank, Debbie et al!

Test your liberal friends:

In 1700 Charleston, SC had the most slaves of any city in North America.

What city had the second most slaves?

Drumroll....

New York, New York!

Ohmygosh. Doesn’t anyone, including these hacks interviewed as authorities, study history any more? When one is evaluating the accomplishments (positive and negative) it has to be done in the context of their environment.

Mulberry Street is two blocks of restaurants and Ferraras in a sea of Chinese characters on every storefront. In years past a candidate for mayor had to travel to Rome, Dublin, and Tel Aviv. Now even Tel Aviv is off the list. So electorally there will be little price for Red Whilhelm to pay. Though interestingly there is a Spanish Cristobal Colon celebration in old East Harlem, Spanish Harlem to the Drifters and Ben E King.

***has ordered a review of all the city’s statues and monuments ***

Does this mean we have a chance to get rid of that Stupid, stupid monument to John Lennon and that horrid song “Imagine”?

Little Italy has been swallowed almost whole by Chinatown. I truly doubt mobsters hang out there anymore although I could be wrong. Happily, some Jewish hallmarks like Russ & Daughters & Katz’s remain.

Is there any viable opposing candidate to his reelection this Fall? No one seems to like him, even diehard Dems, but I don’t see anyone stepping up to oppose him.

You’re new to NYC, aren’t you?

Else you’d have understood the reference to the mob, even though the neighborhood has changed.

Yes, he gilded it out of his own pocket because he didn’t like the oxidation on it. I didn’t agree with him on that one.

Need to change the cities name to something beside York. Maybe just do away with the city and state of New York.

What was the Royal African Company? - Ask History

Apr 27, 2016 - Led by the king’s younger brother James, the Duke of York (later King James II), this group had a monopoly on British trade with West Africa, including gold, silver and slaves.

www.history.com/news/ask-history/what-was-the-royal-african-company

So the State of New York and New York city should be torn down and deposed like Confederate History.
