Walking to an event on the Upper West Side of Manhattan recently one early evening, I was appreciatively experiencing the New York City coming alive during an early occurrence of warmer spring weather. I have also been noticing over the last several weeks, as the weather becomes more pleasant, that an increasing population of homeless people and panhandlers is present in every neighborhood and seemingly on every street corner in de Blasio's New York. It seems these days a person can't sit outside in public for even a moment in New York City without being accosted.
In between my encounters with a virtually unending series of panhandlers, I watched as I was seated on a bench across the street from 15 Central Park West as various power brokers, celebrities, and reigning members of the establishment were ushered by their doormen into taxis, Ubers, and limos to the very best parties, restaurants, and cultural events the city has to offer.
I realized that many of the city elites continue to be to be untouched by the chaos on the streets of Mayor de Blasio's city, encompassing even the benches right across the street from their building. All of this was going on right in the neighborhood that is one of the most influential centers of Progressive politics and support in our nation. The Upper West Side is where many left-wing celebrities, members of the media, and other influential and powerful people reside.
The rest of us who live in any big city dominated by Democrats experience every day the negative consequences of Progressive political policies and management in action. The immediate signs of chaos on the streets of New York City starting in January of 2014 following Bill de Blasio's inauguration as mayor were startling.

A very tall joke?
Why waste the ink? He’s not going to get close to the nomination.
it will look invisible.
That goon is a legend in his own mind. He has a better chance to meet the pope.
Frankly, it is too depressing and frightening a situation to imagine. A true nightmare.
Nothing.
He’s gonna grab the campaign money to pay off debts. That’s what commies do.
Venezuela?
This is what the United States of America would look like if this idiot got elected to anything other than what he is...
If you want to live in a FOURTH world rotten country, then vote this idiot in and that is what you will get...
He hasn't got the brains that was given to a piss ant!!!
Squeegee men rampant!
Show trials in his third year as President if, as would be likely, he has the Congress, too. That is if he has been able to survive the aftermath of his August 2021 gun confiscation decree.
Just read Kurt Schlichter’s novels - DeGoofio is one of the presidents of the “Peoples’ Republic” (currently known as the blue states). Fauxcahontas was another.
I got one of them and eagerly dove in.
Kurt over-Schlichters himself. The narrative
descends from hyperbole to bombast. His
columns are great. but reading anything
longer, you start to feel bludgeoned.
No thanks.
He's getting better. The last one (Wildfire) was better written than the first 2. I've always wanted to write fiction, but it's way harder than I ever imagined.
Progressive writing is fun. You write some stuff, then it goes to the next person who has to keep some continuity as they add their piece to it. Then back to the first writer or on to another. The stories get awesome and complex.
