Friday's Juneteenth Flag and Russian Collusion.

We are posting this and then heading out to Newark/Liberty to pick up Mrs. Stroock. Yay!.

The block is having a raging kegger tonight, not kidding. 

A great day at the gym.  We were wondering why we're not quite getting to where we want on the treadmill. Yesterday we wore new sneakers and voila! We were gliding like a gazelle across the Serengeti. We started at 3.7, got to 4.0 no problem and gradually escalated till we finished off at 4.5. Four miles. It was a great run, the best in a month. Step by step we just gobbled up the mileage. Our feet are sore this morning.

There we go again, colluding with Russia: 'Ilhan Omar, one of the founding members of the Squad of young leftwing Democrats, has shot her mouth off again. This one is a doozy. On 7 June, the congresswoman from Minneapolis tweeted, ‘We must have the same level of accountability and justice for all victims of crimes against humanity. We have seen unthinkable atrocities committed by the U.S., Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan, and the Taliban.’ This is not the first time Omar has opined on America and Israel. Previously she accused Israel of ‘hypnotizing the world’ and claimed that American support for Israel is, ‘all about the Benjamins’, Benjamin Franklin being on the $100 bill.. Republicans have been quick to condemn Omar’s remarks....' Click to continue colluding. Our KGB handler often asks, 'Why all the fuss about Israel?' He assures us that people in Russia couldn't care less about Israel. They are more concerned with near abroad. There's nothing quite like waking up and seeing the article you submitted before bed in print, or pixel anyway.

The New York Post (the cities' paper of record) reports former NYPD cop Eric Adams is leading the mayoral race, but: 'Pollster John McLaughlin cautioned that while Adams may be in the driver’s seat, Wiley and Garcia loom large in his rearview mirror down the stretch to what could be a photo finish, particularly with more than a fifth of respondents still undecided.' If you want to see NYC crawl out of De Blasio's crime ridden socialist cesspit, Adams is your man. But if you want to see NYC sink further into the abyss, there's Maya Wiley. She's a crazy lady endorsed by AOC. Think London Breed, or dare we say, Lori Lightfoot. Wiley's election would be just the excuse Governor Murphy (for whom we will almost certainly vote) needs to destroy the Hudson River crossings. 

We don't know who the GOP nominee is, we don't care. This is also a ranked choice election. Read The Post's explanation if you want. We have twice and we still don't get how it works. This blog doesn't foresee any post-election problems...noooooo. This blog renews its call for NYC to be nuked from orbit. It's the only way to be sure. 

Well what do you know, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett spent a few years of his youth in Teaneck, New Jersey. It's hard to be more Northern New Jersey than Teaneck. It's just a few minutes from the George Washington Bridge. When readers from the nice parts of America think of New Jersey (like in the Coneheads movie), they're thinking of Teaneck. 

There is no reason why Republicans shouldn't embrace Juneteenth. The GOP is and always has been the party of Civil Rights. The Dems are the party of Davis and Forrest, Wallace, Byrd and Biden. Remember, if you didn't vote for Mass Incarceration Joe, then you ain't black. His words.  To this very day the Democrat Party wants to make sure black kids are kept in Black schools and away from the white kids in white schools. This blog hopes Mitch McConnell takes to the Senate floor to make just that point. 

Below, the Friday Flag, the banner that makes men free:
