New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo is a Pig

New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo  is a pig. This blog has noted this before.

Legal Insurrection  (based in Upstate New York) tells us that Cuomo is dispatching the New York State National Guard to seize hospital ventilators there. We're not exaggerating.  Cuomo uses words like 'share' and 'borrow'. Pig.

As readers can imagine, there's a big difference between New York City and New York State. Were New York State to breakup, the city + Long Islands + Westchester County could make their own state. Heh, For decades there's been a session movement on Staten Island. The 'forgotten borough' looks like it's part of New Jersey anyway. 

We were raised in New York City's Northern suburbs.  

There's a nice little issue for Upstate Democrats to deal with this November. It's almost like Democrats want to lose.

America to New Yorkers: Drop Dead

New Yorkers are taught to loath the rest of the country. We know. We were one. 

You know how Kentucky don't want no Hoosiers in their state, and any good LSU fan would have to think long and hard before throwing a life preserver to a drowning Alabama fan? These are intense, but friendly rivalries. 

But New Yorkers mean it. They really loath the rest of the country. Civilization stops at the Hudson. We agree actually, but in reverse. Daily News columnist Jimmy Breslin used to write about 'low IQ states'. Yeah, well you're the ones who elected an incompetent commie mayor, pal. Whose got the low IQ now?

Which is why various state and local governments trying flush out New Yorkers fleeing The CCP virus is hilarious. In Cape Cod locals want the town to close the bridges. Florida state cops are checking ID at the border. The governor of Rhode Island has called out the National Guard to make door to door checks. It's like the Diary of Ann Frank in Providence.

Welcome Back Kotter and also the Subway Graffiti

The bums are on the corner. The squeegee men are at it. The beggars are active. The turnstile jumpers are having a great time. And the subway graffiti is back. We expect to see John Travolta strutting up the street.

Is it art? Who knows? But it is Bill De Blasio's New York. An unmistakable sign of decline for a city run by a communist. Who wants to bet subway crime is spiking. Curtis Sliwa your office is on the line.

The heart of the Democrat party lies with people who reject the Giuliani legacy and miss the old New York. Here's what we wrote about them and De Bolshevik for Inforos.

This blog urges New Jersey governor Phil Murphy to blow up the Hudson River crossings and deploy the National Guard along the border.

De Blasio takes NYC back to 70's Form

Via Instapundit, the New York Post has NYPD police union video documenting the astonishing return of graffiti to the NYC subway system. Mrs. Stroock reports she herself has seen such.

This is bad, this so unbelievably bad. When the graffiti is back, when the turnstile jumpers operate with impunity, when the muggers return to the subway, your city is going to hell.

This is what lefties like Mayor Bill De Blasio (S-Managua) don't get about petty crime. It's a quality of life issue. These are the idiots, and they are out there, people, who miss the Old New York. The New York of Taxi-Driver and Midnight Cowboy.

Here's what we wrote about De Blasio and the old New York for Inforos:

On a cool spring night in 1990, this author and his father were driving back from a New York Yankees game at Yankee Stadium in the notorious South Bronx. When we made a wrong turn and went through a tunnel, our father rolled up the windows, locked the doors and told this author to look straight ahead. As we emerged from the tunnel, out came a squeegee man rubbing the car windshield with a rag and demanding money. This was the New York of high crime and urban decay, when Times Square was filled with porn shops and peep shows and the subways were covered in graffiti. This was the Old New York.

Oh, how's the no bail reform working out?

Soon NYC will go the way of Los Angeles and San Francisco. Thanks, Bill, thanks a lot.

Long time reader(s) know this blog's stance on NYC. Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
