Mayor Eric Adams left a political storm at home over everything from border migrants to rising crime to spend his Sunday helping what he calls New York’s “sixth borough,” hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico.

“Puerto Rico is our sixth borough of New York. We’re tied at the hip,” Hizzoner said during in a video shot Sunday morning alongside San Juan Mayor Miguel Romero.

That’s why I said, if PR wants to join the US, make it the 6th Borough of NYC.

What jurisdiction does the Mayor of a US city have in PR? None. This is fed govt responsibility. Taxpayer funded vacation.

Hey, if you can’t fix your own problems, run away and find someone who will listen to you telling them how to fix their problems.

Well, Adams is not worried about his city, just like Biden is not worried about his country.

Neither wants to do what’s necessary to fix things in their respective areas of responsibility.

He doesn’t have the stomach to fight crime, is he going to swing a hammer or re-attach electrical wires? If not, what is the point? He will just be a strain on limited resources like food and shelter.

I’m so glad he’s solved all of NYC’s problems to be able to tackle Puerto Rico’s now.

“Tyrus”

I didn’t realize how rough Tyrus’ early childhood was until I just looked him up.

He can be Hizz Honor of NYC...as long as he keeps his gig on Guyfield. He’s a hoot.

He's not exactly well suited for this.

His city is literally a disaster zone, so he flies to Puerto Rico on the taxpayer’s dime to do what he refuses to do in his own city.

“Puerto Rico is our sixth borough of New York.”

Then why can I buy a 32oz soda in Puerto Rico?
