June 3, 2020Donald Trump Jr.’s Tweet to Justin Brannan
![]()
Today, Donald Trump Jr. retweeted a tweet about Justin Brannan.
Brannan responded to the President’s son by telling him that he never met Urooj Rahman and adding that Donny’s father is a facist.
![]()
The original tweet was from Andy Ngo, a Conservative journalist. Ngo inquires about Brannan’s friendship with Urooj Rahman, the 31 year old who was accused of throwing a Molotov cocktail of an empty police cruiser in the Fort Greene.

Andy Ngo shared the tweet because it is the only trace of Urooj Rahman on social media – her account was deleted.
Watch and see…..not one media outlet with share this story. Why? Politics my friends.
The President’s son tweets a NYC Politician and that won’t be news-worthy in local papers or any others because the news is skewed one way

Megan McGoldrick, editor of The Brooklyn Paper tweeted pictures and videos of today’s peaceful protest – here. She’ll have the story out in the Brooklyn Paper by tomorrow.
The organizers of this event did a great job! They are the people who will change the world. I like that they came from the other side of Bay Ridge to cover the whole neighborhood with the message. They took a knee on 73rd Street.
Beautiful people with a beautiful message (below). Good neighbors!!

You will see many Bay Residents came because this was a family-friendly event and they want their children to know that change needs to happen here. Hear the cars beeping and supporting the protesters here.

This protest is being sponsored the Muslims Against Police Brutality. The organizers have said this is a family-friendly, peaceful rally.
Update: Councilman Brannan shared that this protest is being run by youth from a local mosque and he believes it will be a peaceful protest. See here
The rally is starting in front of Cocoa Grinder at 6823 – 3rd Avenue. Cocoa Grinder is not the sponsor of the protest.
Protesters are asked to wear masks, bring an umbrella, water and prayer mats….Prayer mats? Everyone could use a little prayer!
Bay Ridge please honk and cheer for these protesters – they are trying to change the world! We all want that change to happen soon.

June 2, 2020Pipins #ThisHomeWasHooched Contest
![]()
Pipins is having a contest to win liquor!
During my time, when people drank, the term “lit” or “loaded” was used.
Now ‘lit’ means what “cool” or “fresh” used to mean years ago. The kids say, “That’s lit.”
I’m not sure where the word “hooched” came from. Back in the day, people used to use the word “wasted” for drunk. I don’t care for the word hooched.
The real purpose of this is to share Pipins Contest where you can win liquor just for sharing a picture and tagging it with Pipins and #ThisHomeWasHooched
Good contest….and Pipins is a great place!

June 2, 2020BIDS Charging While Everyone is Closed
No one wants to say the truth about BIDs. But people who have been in a BID know the truth.
Business owners in other areas are shocked to still be billed even when everything is closed. Read more here.
Thankfully, in Bay Ridge, the 3rd Avenue BID didn’t get voted in. Next month it will be a year that some tried to actively push the BID, but were unsuccessful in it passing because so many voted against it.

May 30, 2020Businesses Can’t Open But A Protest Can Happen?

NYC Leaders have double-standard and communication is very unclear.
People are told to be socially distant and businesses can’t open.
But a huge protest can be organized. And the NYC Public Advocate, Jumaane Williams shared it as to invite people to attend. (See here)
I believe someone needed to file permits for the protest. This was an organized event where people would not be socially distant.
Look at this video of the huge crowd:

More events like this are planned for the weekend. See here and another one for Brooklyn here.
Police officers showed up to the protest in gear because they were told to control the event. We shouldn’t hear any politicians speaking out on the police for following orders.
Extremely tense here pic.twitter.com/7jtMdDBtmx

Do you think their are any police officers who want people that close to them during the corona virus?

Protesters brought fire crackers and set a police vehicle on fire .
To be clear this is far from over. Here’s scene at Fifth Avenue and St Marks. Cops just fired off some pepper spray pic.twitter.com/5nltjLDCvy

The people aren’t there to protest and mourn – they are there to take out their anger on the police.
George Floyd was a repeat situation of Eric Gardner (which is awful, but will continue until in this country doesn’t allow it).
But this didn’t happen in NYC again!
The NYPD can’t be paying because people are rested and angry.
Leaders in NYC can not allow protests to happen when businesses can’t open and people are still in quarantine.
There should not be mixed messages from the top during a pandemic.
