Eric Adams will delay his public inauguration ceremony by several hours on Saturday, Jan.1, to accommodate his Jewish supporters, the Forward reported Tuesday.

Traditionally, the inauguration of New York City’s elected officials takes place on Jan. 1 at noon. This year, Jan. 1 is a Saturday, meaning the midday ceremony would be happening on Shabbat, when observant Jews typically do not travel.

Adams decided to shift the ceremony until later in the evening after Shabbat ends so his observant Jewish supporters could attend.

Not in NYC. In greater New York, yes. It is a small portion of the population. But in NYC, they all generally vote GOP and conservative as a block, and they are a significant voting block at that. Between Brooklyn, Staten Island and Queens Italians, Orthodox Jews and a few others with common sense, we elected Giuliani twice and damned near beat Dinkins the first time. He won by just 2% despite all the fake polls, favorable media coverage and ballot box stuffing, not to mention the fact that he was a “first”. After four years of him, even that wasn’t enough, and Giuliani squeaked by into office once, and four years later won a landslide. And now Eric Adams is in, and he may just save the city from the leftard destroyers that have brought it to the brink. With enough thanks to Orthodox Jews along with the fed up blacks, Ricans, police and Italians that he decided to postpone the public ceremony out of respect and gratitude. Fortunately, as has been explained here by others better-informed than myself, this did not extend the DeBlasi-an reign of (t)error by a mili-second.

“According to PrimeNY, Jews (or more accurately, voters with distinctive Jewish surnames) are 14% of the 3.9 million registered voters in NYC. 63% of Jewish registered voters are enrolled as Democrats and 15% as Republicans (the balance are not enrolled in a party or they are enrolled in one of the minor parties).”

I’m not enrolled as a Republican, yet I vote as one most times. You can’t go by registration. A great many register as Democrats in order to vote in the primaries. In general elections, they vote how they vote regardless of official registration.

Less than the registration for sure and less than the national Jewish vote, but still overall skewed Dem.

Not the Orthodox. They go the opposite way. Upper East Side swells, university leftards, they’ll vote Dem religiously. But the Orthodox, while staying associated with the Dem machine for pragmatic purposes with regards to local elections for City Councilman, Beep or State Assembly, in mayoral or Presidential elections vote for the likes of Trump and Giuliani. There is footage of an Orthodox Trump Caravan getting attacked as it went through the city, with the police sitting by and letting the anti-fas have their way, ganging up and beating on old men and skinny scholars. The Orthodox had enough big bruisers to give back what they were getting, but Wilhelm had ordered to police to stand down, predictably.

You Tube has probably taken down the video.
