It sure can’t hurt.
The Mike Bloomberg Family Foundation has poured money into a slew of programs in cities where the presidential candidate is now stumping for votes, according to a Post review of the entity’s 2017 and 2018 tax filings and other public documents.
One of the initiatives, the Bloomberg American Cities Climate Challenge, awarded a total of $70 million to 25 cities to reduce their carbon emissions. The cities are in many key Democratic primary states and include Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Chicago and Atlanta.

Nanny is not contributing to Deplorable fly-over country just to ‘Rat cities?
I keep forgetting he’s running. Yawn.
He was in the Dallas area this weekend and right after a fawning TV news segment was a big ad for him. (Luckily the TV at the restaurant was muted - I never watch US TV and now I know why!)
BTW, his contributions to said cities were the equivalent of p!ssing in the wind. The money was surely wasted and no one remembers or appreciates what he did.
I wouldn’t doubt his business acumen; he’s just a dictator with the charm of a rattlesnake. He is trying to represent a party that has gone so far left that he himself is the embodiment of evil - to DEMS.
I don’t doubt his business acumen, but any civic leader who believes controlling “Big Gulps” are at the top of his agenda is nutso.
Bloomberg has a track record as mayor of New York, it's icky as heck, and what it reveals is that he's just as tyrannical and irresponsible as the rest of them.Issues & Insights editorialist J. Frank Bullitt has just the right take-down reminder:
Bloomberg governed the five boroughs for a dozen years as if he were making household rules for his pre-teen children. There would be no Big Gulp–sized sugary soft drinks, no trans fats, and every calorie had to be counted. A "Complete List of Everything Banned by Mayor Michael Bloomberg" compiled by Gizmodo includes: cars in Times Square, high sodium levels in processed foods, Styrofoam for single-use food packaging, cabs that aren't fuel efficient, loud headphones, and cell phones in schools.Some of the bans were proposed or merely suggested. But they still indicate a prohibitionist mind-set.
The "Republican" mayor is also an enemy of Second Amendment rights. Under his watch, a Manhattan store was even fined $60,000 by the city's Department of Consumer Affairs for selling lighters that looked like small pistols.
He's the archetypical nanny-stater, monitoring every little thing a teenager does, not just in that list Bullitt frames, but much more. I recall that he also stole New Yorkers' salt shakers off their tables in their diners, all for their own good.
He isn’t nuts, just a dangerous wannabe dictator.
Between the Big Gulps, congestion pricing in lower Manhattan, and changing the term limits for himself, he is exposed as nothing less than an elitist dictator.
To let the Muslims build a mosque at Ground Zero is nuts.
That’s right - and all of that will come up in a serious campaign. He only ran as a Republican because he wasn’t confident he’d get through the Dem primary (usually the de facto mayoral election in NYC, as DeBlasio demonstrated). He had his own money, nobody really in his way, and after being elected he dropped the “R” (switching to independent).
I can only assume he wants to give out some money to allies as campaign expenses.
To let mosques open on 9/12/01 was nuts; it removed any doubts as to where this would lead: increased scrutiny/monitoring of Americans, erosion of civil liberties, and continued open borders.
Trump is president because our elected officials no longer represented us, and it couldn’t be concealed anymore; the open borders were something more and more Americans could see with their own eyes as our population dwindles and we are replaced.
While that mosque’s construction was being debated, Americans rightfully referred to it as the “victory mosque”; it is nothing less.
Huh?;-)
He also donated $1.5 million plus to a liberal PAC VoteVets that is supporting Buttigieg.
Quid Pro Quo, bribery and extortion. That’s all this is. Vote procurement, pay for votes, which is illegal.
Undoubtedly. Who will prosecute? Heck, the papers won’t even mention the illegality of it.
If not for Pamela Geller, it would be there.
