New York City is expecting something like two feet of snow, and the city’s government, led by socialist/Communist Zohran Mamdani, is encouraging able-bodied New Yorkers to help shovel the city out after the storm. But only, of course, if they have proper identification: Lefty Mayor Zohran Mamdani opposes requiring ID’s to vote — but mandates no less than five forms of identification in order to shovel snow. The New York City Sanitation Department website says that in order to register as an emergency snow shoveler, an applicant must provide two small photos sized 1-1.5 square inches, two original forms of...

Comrade Mayor Zohran Mamdani of New York City is a proud member of the New York chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), which claims that “in the United States,” and yeah, there should be a comma right there, but in the original, there isn’t, “voter suppression tactics have a disproportionate impact on the most marginalized communities, especially the African-American community.” Accordingly, the DSA calls for “Eliminating Voter ID Laws,” and endorsed Mamdani’s candidacy enthusiastically. Now, however, the favorite mayor of every Marxist lunatic this side of Bernie Sanders has discovered that there is something for which he very...

Aww, would you look at that? Conservatives are answering Zohran Mamdani's call for shovelers in New York City, even though he's demanding that volunteers show their papers.We're not sure what's funnier here: that conservatives are 'signing up' to help, or that Mamdani isn't bright enough to see his own hypocrisy about the whole paperwork thing.

A feuding neighbor shot a couple with a handgun before fetching an AR-15-style rifle from his home to kill them, after an apparent argument over the couple shoveling snow into his yard. Disturbing video has emerged showing the Pennsylvania couple yelling obscenities at the neighbor, before the man grabs a gun and fatally shoots the husband and wife in the middle of the street. The gunman, Jeffrey Spaide, 47, then took his own life as cops closed in.

John Kerry has many titles—secretary of state, former senator, one-time Democratic candidate for president. The globe-spanning diplomat can add one more: snow shoveling scofflaw. […] On Thursday, (Boston) officials tagged Kerry with a $50 fine at 9:45 a.m. for failing to clear the snow from the side of his Beacon Hill mansion.

A University of Calgary grad student says a “goose-neck” shovel is the best way to deal with snow. "Bending isn't what's causing lower back pain. It's not that you bend less, there has to be a load that is causing the pain. We went one step further to show that because of that lower flexion, there is that reduced load as well.” American studies have shown roughly 12,000 people are treated in emergency rooms each year for snow-shovelling injuries, and the most common injury is to the lower-back.
