January 14, 2023Soulless Idiot Moved the Truck to 86th Street

The burnt SUV without windows and it’s hitch with the white sedan were moved to 86th Street between 13th and 14th Avenues.
It’s like a game of hide and seek. Notice on the last article, I wrote the SUV moved….we knew it was going to show up somewhere. /*See here)
The soulless man that did that to our community needs to be fired.
It’s now in front of Dyker Park, taking up two parking spots from parents trying to take children to the playground.

Since December 11th, our community has been storing this vehicle on the street, when it should have been towed and disposed of by now.
Week after week, both the 68th Precinct and 67th Precinct did not ticket it. People called 311 and the calls were closed stating that the vehicle was moved (when it wasn’t).
This is a sign of the ineffective politicians for this area – Justin Brannan and Andrew Gounardes don’t think this is their job. This area remains stagnant because they do not care.

Jewelry Thieves in White SUV in Dyker Heights

The NYPD and politicians won’t tell us about the robbery on 71st Street in Dyker Heights yesterday.
But our neighbors took the time to tell everyone so they can take precautions and be safe.
This is what happened on 71st Street between 11th and 12th Avenues:

A SUV with a man and woman stopped to ask a man in Dyker Heights for directions to the church. The nice Dyker Heights senior approached the vehicle to help. The woman gave the man a necklace and took his off gold chain off.
The female thief was in her mid-60s and she had long black hair. She had a heavy accent – maybe Russian or Turkish. The man was also in his 60’s, heavy-set and had slicked black hair.
We have heard of these white SUV jewelry thieves before. Please warn your families not to approach a white SUV and beware of women given out necklaces.
Thank you to our neighbors for sharing this information!

In 2017, the Bay Ridge Democrats Were Against Lobbyists – Now they are Not

In 2017, the Bay Ridge Democrats shared that they mainly endorsed Justin Brannan because he could stand up to developers and lobbyists.
In 2023, everyone can see that we are covered in lobbyists projects in Bay Ridge. These are people who are engaged in politics, so THEY know what’s going on.

Why did the Bay Ridge Democrats change their stance on supporting politicians who stand with developers and lobbyists?
Strangely, Bay Ridge Democrats tried to say that Brannan didn’t have an opponent. (See here) Why wouldn’t they want to hear from all candidates, especially now that we have a gerrymandered district?

January 13, 2023No Bills Were Introduced Into the Senate for the Asian District

Iwen Chu told her community that an Asian representative was needed to protect the rights of Asians in Brooklyn.
The newly elected senator did not rent an office or introduce any legislation into the Senate. See website

There is no shortage of empty storefronts throughout the area.
Iwen should have been able to hit the ground running as she worked for Abbate for years. Yet, the new representative doesn’t seem to know how to get things done for the community.
Chu is the head of the library committee at the senate, so she is using the library for “mobile office hours.” What happens to the money the senate gives Iwen for renting an office for 12 months?

That’s how much Palestinian radical Waseem Awawdeh will be receiving for brutally assaulting an innocent Jew in 2021
NYC DA Alvin Bragg’s office offered this monster a plea deal instead of allowing his case to go to trial, where he would face up to 10+ years pic.twitter.com/zanhT1G5Wx

January 12, 2023Commercial Vehicles Can Only Be Parked 3 Hours in a Residential Area in NYC AND Not Overnight

Senator Andrew Gounardes was on Fox News saying, “There is no place for these trucks to go.” (See video here)
That is completely incorrect. NYC can sell parking passes to their lot on the pier behind Industry City. In 2021, they stored freezer trucks with deceased New Yorkers, who died from Covid-19. (Info)
Gounardes is limited in solving problems for his community.
Instead of taking action, Gounardes and Brannan made a taskforce about illegally parked vehicles. A task force isn’t needed because the law already says commercial vehicles can’t be on streets for more than three hours.


Although the NYPD collected some large trucks, there were still a lot of hitches around the golf course this morning. While it was raining, one guy was screwing a license plate to a sedan sitting on the hitch.

January 12, 2023Assemblymember Brook-Krasny Mulling Over Staffer’s Past

The Daily News has a story about Assemblyman Brook-Krasny hiring a staffer who was at the Insurrection. Story here
If that staffer entered the Capitol, then they shouldn’t be on the Assemblyman’s staff. Everyone has the right to protest, but when people entered the building, they took it too far.
Interestingly, Assemblyman Brook-Krasny and his staff setup his offices and put his information online immediately.
