NY’s welfare recipients have to wait 2-3 days more between their gimme checks than illegals plus it’s a large part of their freebies taken away. Living in the ghetto vs. a hotel with staff to bring hot meals to their doors, reliable hot water, heating and a/c, housekeeping and laundry service. Wake up, people.

Our local welfare secretary crunched the numbers and promptly quit after realizing the clients were getting more $$$ sitting on the couch than she was working 40/hrs wk.

The mayor is pissed the city is being over run, then he draws more with more freebies. These people are dumber than dirt.

My Oma, Opa, dad, aunt and uncle are rolling in their graves. They arrived at Ellis Island with hardly any money in October 1927 after fleeing the Weimar Republic disaster and hyperinflation in Germany. They didn’t get a cent from anybody except some earlier arrival relatives. They all got thorough and invasive medical examinations.

Yes, that will happen. There are SO many forces aligned and cooperating to bury the honest news. That’s what happens when you have the media owned lock, stock and barrel by one political party.

BTW, (a minor thing) “sleight” is an unusual and infrequently used word. It means deftness and dexterity; a clever or skillful trick or deception; an artifice or stratagem.

This Mayor is a total fool

This mayor makes total fools look intelligent, in comparison. And the current City Council is mostly commie, more concerned about reparations and pronouns than crime in NYC. They absolutely stink.
