February 12, 2022Eric Adams Takes Action While Justin Brannan Plays on Twitter & Gets Burned

Mayor Eric Adams is taking action all over the city and trying some new tactics to end gun violence.
Councilman Justin Brannan thinks playing on Twitter using slang words is “taking action.”
Brannan doesn’t understand how unprofessional and ridiculous his tweet was:


But Twitter users burned Brannan well for his nonsense tweet. (See here) Gun violence existed before rap, Councilman. People kill because they no longer feel that they will be caught or kept in jail.

February 10, 2022Cry Us a River, Senator Diane Savino…Rezoning Blues

Senator Diane Savino was rezoned right out of Bay Ridge and now has the rezoning blues. (Article here)
In addition to Staten Island, Savino now how whatever Andrew Gounardes wasn’t given (remember, the super gerrymandering was done for him).
Male Democrats don’t care about the females politicians, so in areas like Savinos and Frontus’, there is a good chance a challenge can win the election. Savino has been given a large portion of the community where people don’t know her and Frontus will face a Republican challenger.
Savino’s Senate District now includes most of Red Hook, Brooklyn Heights, Carroll Gardens, and Vinegar Hill. In these areas, voters are a little more aware of what is going on. They wouldn’t be interested in the little work Savino has done all of these years.
Someone in the new district will figure out that Diane Savino is the last remaining IDC member and they will run someone well-educated against her and take her out.
In her last election, Diane Savino had sooo much money and spent it so frivolously. Savino’s challenger was a newcomer to politics and didn’t have enough backing from the Democrats.

February 10, 2022Vito LaBella Considers a Run for the District 22 Senate Seat

Breaking News…..Vito LaBella is considering running for the NY Senate Seat against Andrew Gounardes.
Okay, here we go! pic.twitter.com/SfhLpJcBfd
— Vito LaBella (@labella_vito) February 10, 2022
La Bella said in the video that he wants to build on the work he has done. As a former NYPD Police Lieutenant, LaBella would support Mayor Eric Adams in getting this city back on track. Bringing sanity and safety back to the streets and subways is a good start!
Vito LaBella is going to have a lot of support because he has been a man, who has worked to improve education in Brooklyn for many years.
Andrew Gounardes was silent as NY Democrats carved out a new voting district for Gounardes. Although he rallied against gerrymandering for years, a super gerrymandered district was formed to increase the number of Democratic voters to help him maintain the seat. Gounardes doesn’t represent the people of this district and just cares about securing a job for himself. VOTE HIM OUT!
Sadly, Gounardes ran on a platform of street safety, but has not done anything to make streets safer in NY. When a child was hurt or died, Gounardes put a message on social media about how heartbroken he was, but failed to do anything to change the streets. Gounardes was silent as his friends made Brooklyn streets less safe and broke the law repeately. (See here and here)

February 10, 2022Max Rose Came to Bay Ridge to Stand Outside the 95th Street Station and Take Photos
Today’s morning commute; this is someone’s family member sleeping on the car floor under a blanket in “progressive” NYC
— Brian Sullivan (@BrianSullivan96) February 8, 2022
Great job @NYCCouncil, @NYCMayor / @NYCMayorsOffice!
Your policies aren’t working
I also feel for workers of the @NYCTSubway, this is their new workplace pic.twitter.com/gAtZ3d3VZC
Each morning, the R Train has homeless men sleeping on it.
These are people’s family members who aren’t receiving the correct help or support. They don’t want to live there – they have to live there because they don’t have anywhere else to go.
Today, Max Rose came to Bay Ridge to take photos outside the station shaking hands with people.

Max Rose took photos to put on his Facebook page and make it look like he was interested in our community. We don’t need any more picture-taking pols in Bay Ridge. I was glad to see many people spoke out against Rose on his Facebook Page
Andrew Gounardes was campaigning at this station earlier in the week. Neither politician wants to go down and get on the train and work on the problem of homelessness. If this was your family member, you would want the politicians to help provide them with at least a room with a bed and some food.
