Photo from Malliotakis’ video below.
Malliotakis said that she wants to make sure that veterans, who have fought overseas should not have to fight to keep this hospital open.

The VA hospitals in Bay Ridge and Manhattan are on the chopping block. Malliotakis wants President Joe Biden to mark this topic DOA and keep the two hospitals open for the Veterans.
Bay Ridge Assemblyman, Michael Tannousis said that is is a disgrace how we are treating Veterans. He said that he will stand with the veterans and fight with them to the end.
Even Marty Golden showed up and gave a strong speech for keeping the hospital open. Golden referred to the current status of America and how we many be heading into war and this is no time to close a Veteran’s hospital.
Finally, the veterans spoke on how important and necessary this hospital was to them.

Most touching was the speech by Eugene Petit, a Vietnam Veteran from Staten Island. Petit spoke about the love the military had for each other.

Petit said that when he and other soldiers came home, they lost the love (People at the rally yelled out, “Welcome home.” Remember these soldiers were never welcomed home by America.) Petit said that when he went to the VA hospital, he felt that love for Veterans again.
Lee Covino, another Veteran spoke and said that the same thing happened in 2005. This is the second time this hospital has been brought up for closure. He questioned: “Why is this proposal back?” Lee thought the waterfront property that the hospital sits on was the reason that this topic came up again.

Danny Friedman, President of the Brooklyn Veterans of Vietnam War agreed with Lee – this is a land grab for developers. Friedman said Vietnam Veterans will stand with all veterans. Younger members of the military will need this hospital one day too.
The rally continued with veterans sharing why this hospital is needed in Brooklyn.
Mickey Wedlock, a Veteran from Bay Ridge said this VA Hospital saved his life seven years ago! Wedlock said that Northport Long Island VA will remain open, but there is no transportation to that facility. He also said, the Bronx VA is good, but it is an hour and a half away from Brooklyn.
It’s awful that they want to make veterans travel to other boroughs or even out of state to get medical care. This is their hospital!
The rally ended with the group chanting., “DOA” (for the idea of closing the hospital to be DOA) and the Congresswoman said, “Under no circumstances can this Veteran’s Hospital close.”

Andrew Gounardes Played Politics With A Letter About the VA Hospital Closing

Click here to read this leter
Senator Andrew Gounardes had some elected Democrats sign a letter about the VA hospital.
Sentor Andrew Gounardes purposely left out Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis. He isn’t a politician who can reach across party lines and get things done. The goal was for everyone to support the veterans, not for Gounardes to have a letter signed by Democrats.
Malliotakis has been the only politician who has been very vocal against the VA hospital closing, so to leave her off the letter says Gounardes is playing politics. (See here)
Malliotakis has captured the media’s attention and will be rallying on Sunday March 13th. (See here)
Elect people who can get along with other people – regardless of political party.

Was a Man Shot on 83rd Street Last Night?
A Bay Ridge resident who lives on the block told me that a man was shot on 83rd Street in Bay Ridge last night around 10:15 pm.
As we have seen before, just because a newspaper doesn’t publish a story and no politicians are talking about it, it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.
The Citizen app shows this, but there isn’t any information.

When Your Representative Makes Memes….You Know You Elected The Wrong Person

It’s strange that Justin Brannan would think it was funny to make a meme about the NYC Health Commission. Dave Chokshi.
The doctor probably is surprised politicians sit around wasting their times creating memes while he is dealing with coronavirus in NYC.
A few months ago, Brannan posted the meme above – at least that wasn’t offensive. The one posted today (below) is.

Bay Ridge, elect someone who doesn’t have the time to to make memes because they are doing bigger and better things.

RIP Xingchun Rong – Mother Killed in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn by E-Bike Rider
On March 4th 2022, a man and woman were crossing 76th Street and 19th Avenue in Bensonhurst around 6:00 pm on Friday, March 4th, when a man on an e-bike hit them both. (Update: See the accident here)
The couple was forced onto the pavement. The 45-year-old man blacked out and then regained consciousness. His 43-year-old wife, Xing Chun Rong was bleeding from her head.
The 50-year-old rider stayed at the scene. (Info here) The Brooklyn Reporter wrote that he was arrested for criminal possession of a controlled substance. (See here)
Xing Chun Rong was brought to Maimonides Hospital, given blood and put on life-support. She was eventually taken off life support and died on March 8th.
This beautiful, young mother should not have died like this. Xing Chun Rong is the mother of a teenage son.
Prayers for her son and husband. A Go-Fund-Me Account was made for her funeral. (See here)
