Trump sent this Navy Hospital Ship to NYC. Glad to see him do the right thing for NYC.

March 30, 2020People Would Take This Seriously If They Saw These Videos
Don’t click here or here if you don’t want to see the reality going on in NYC.
This is Maimonides Hospital – don’t click if this is too much for you. The guy opened the truck with no gloves on.
I feel like we are in a science fiction movie. People don’t realize it’s this bad. London is taking it a lot more seriously – see video (not bad like those above)

March 29, 2020Justin Brannan’s $7,000 Birthday Party
In October 2019, Justin Brannan threw a birthday party fundraiser at The Dyker Beach Golf Course. See invitation here
The party cost almost $7,000.
![]()
Brannan was called out on his spending after people saw him playing politics on social media. See tweet. Home owners are fed up with him pretending to support them when it’s clear after two years that Brannan won’t help them and sides with Mayor de Blasio. Being disingenuous has brought him a lot of hate.
Councilman Brannan is very out-of-touch since he thinks spending seven thousand dollars on a birthday party for several hours is acceptable. Homeless people lay on the streets in our neighborhood and he has the money for a lavish party for himself! Thirty-four thousand children in NYC live in shelters and politicians want to have fancy birthday parties for themselves? Seven thousand could have paid the rent for two families in our neighborhood.
This is very different from the Justin Brannan that the people elected two years ago. In January 2018 , Brannan held a modest inauguration party at Xaverian High School. Big Difference!
Brannan’s isn’t due for re-election for two years so why is he having parties and collecting money now? See spending
Politicians really believe that it’s their money, so they can do what they want with it. They wouldn’t have that money if it wasn’t for the people electing them to that position. Why doesn’t their family or staff tell them that something is too extravagant or wasteful?
Maybe Councilman Brannan should have used the money for the Haunted Halloween in Owls Head Park this year. Many were disappointed with this years setup. Brannan knew people were disappointed and said, “Next year, we’ll do it even bigger and better.”
Ultimately, how does a politician reckon they are entitled to a party, while other people don’t have some place to live? If people wanted to give to the campaign, they would give without attending a ritzy party, right? Looking into who gave contributions to the campaign will be coming soon.
Years ago, the President of the Bay Ridge Democrats used to call out things like this all the time. Why is he silent now? He must support this lavish spending. What changed?
Disappointed to see people who I know and used to respect supporting this. You all know Bay Ridge deserves better!
