August 26, 2019It was a Small Rally at Max Rose’s Office 8/26
On Monday, August 26, 2019, at 4:30 pm, there was a small rally outside of Congressmen Max Rose’s office at 8203 – 3rd Avenue. I was glad it wasn’t a huge crowd because I think Rose is trying to hear everyone and do the best he can. I appreciate him paving his own road and not copying his predecessor, as some pols do.
Proud to stand with @FightBackBR, @ES_Indivisible, @BKIndivisible, and other groups outside @RepMaxRose‘s office today demanding he support an #ImpeachmentInquiryNow!

Kellie said it best:
“@MaxRose4NY, it is time for you to do your job, your duty, and reign in the Trump administration!”

If you want Rose to support the impeachment inquiry, call his office and tell him: 718-306-5500
Fight Back Bay Ridge, Empire Indivisible and Brooklyn Indivisible organized the rally.
More info about the rally: here
This is the third time this year that people are rallying against Congressman Rose.
The first rally was in June and was led by Dov Hikind, Curtis Sliwa and Bob Capano. They wanted Rose to speak out against Ilhan Omar (a huge counter rally was held across the street). The second rally was held on July 2nd because Rose voted to fund the border camps, while people wanted them closed. See here

August 26, 2019Two People Tazed at the Feast
There’s always some teen issue one night of the feast. The feast ended at 11:00 pm, so it was time for the feast to end anyway.
The video above is good because you can see Adam walking through the Feast and he’s talking with people who were there. If you click on the video and go to the Youtube page, you can see his description of the incident.

August 26, 2019Undocumented Immigrants Supersede Senior Citizens For Affordable Housing in NYC
In Bay Ridge, there are many seniors citizens who lived, worked and built this community. Some have been waiting years for affordable housing to open in the area, so they can continue to live here (some have been waiting almost a decade).
This week, Mayor de Blasio announced a plan that will allow undocumented immigrants to get on the list for affordable housing. The plan was originally to help people get housing, without showing their credit report. Even this sneaky pol is leaving out the part that undocumented immigrants can apply to the program. (He knows it, but he left it out of the tweet).
When people objected to this plan, Bill de Blasio said, “We are all immigrants.” (That is true). Then he said, “Undocumented immigrants are New Yorkers.“ See here, here, here, and here.
But they aren’t. Because that would mean that all tourists from other countries, who visit NYC and stay for a year paying rent in an apartment are New Yorkers.
But they are not citizens – they are still visitors in this country until they have done what’s needed for citizenship. And Seniors in Brooklyn deserve to receive housing.
Senator Andrew Gounardes said that undocumented citizens are here to seek political asylum. Many countries will provide political asylum, but that doesn’t entitle anyone to public housing.
Would someone seeking political asylum think they had a right to be on an affordable housing list? They are probably just happy to be here. Who is pushing for them to get affordable housing? Mayor de Blasio’s staff and representatives.
If I went to another country, like Greece and stayed there, I would not be a citizen of their country. I would need to go through the immigration process before being able to have access benefits of citizenship in any country.
Elected politicians in our area should be challenging that aspect of de Blasio’s new plan, as Bay Ridge has a large NORC.
Yet, they are silent. #Crickets Why is everyone afraid to challenge Bill de Blasio and his staff, who haven’t thought this plan through. How did this go through without a vote from NYC City Council?
