Nearly 70% of Americans disapprove the construction of the Islamic mosque and cultural center near Ground Zero. The city’s Landmark Preservation Commission voted to allow the mosque project to proceed. Soon after Mayor Bloomberg came out in support of the project, citing religious tolerance and freedom of speech: Let us not forget that Muslims were among [...]

The White House just doesn’t get this terrorists-like-to-target-NYC problem. There was the first World Trade Center bombing, then 9/11, then not even two weeks ago the failed SUV bomb. Yet the administration still thinks there’s too much money poured into NYC’s anti-terrorism efforts that it’s slashing $53 million: The New York City area will get [...]

Sorry, Mr. President, but the War on Terror is not even close to being over. The Taliban has regrouped again and now coordinated enough to have somebody plant a bomb in Times Square. Yes, NYC again. We got lucky with the underwear bomber. We got lucky with this failed plot too. The Taliban’s latest plot [...]

Discount airline Spirit Airlines wants to impose a $45 per bag fee for travelers with a carry-on bag, and well, that didn’t go over well with customers. But you know what, it’s a free market and Spirit is certainly able to raise fees as it pleases amidst bad publicity and public uproar. Unfortunately, there are [...]

After being found in violation by the House ethics panel, Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY) may soon (as in Wednesday) lose his chairmanship of the powerful Ways and Means Committee. Not only are the Republicans pressuring speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to strip Rangel of the position, but many Democrats — especially those facing re-election this year [...]

The news just keeps getting worse for New York Gov. David Paterson… Not only has a scandal involving his aide cost him his re-election, but now as more details emerge Paterson may be facing criminal charges: Mr. Paterson instructed his press secretary, Marissa Shorenstein, to ask the woman to publicly describe the episode as nonviolent, [...]

After insisting on going through re-election, New York Gov. David Paterson will now abandon his re-election hopes but will serve out his current term. The Democrat establishment always had somebody else in mind for that job: Andrew Cuomo. I think the establishment finally got what it wanted with the revelation of a scandal: Paterson has [...]

The House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct has found Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY) to be in ethics violation stemming from trips he took to the Caribbean: The House ethics panel has been investigating several trips taken by Mr. Rangel and several other Democratic lawmakers in 2007 and 2008. The investigation looked at travel by Mr. [...]

Rumor has it that New York Gov. Paterson has met with Democrat leaders to discuss him stepping down in anticipation of a NYT “bombshell” story about the governor. Oh, that and the question of his re-electability. Share and Enjoy:

The Justice Department and White House may be considering a new — umm, old? — venue to try master terrorist Khalid Sheik Mohammed. It was supposed to be NYC because Attorney General Eric Holder thinks that’s where the crime was committed. So naturally, NYC would be the place to hold the trial. But guess what? [...]

The al Qaeda terrorists who planned and executed the NYC and Pentagon attacks on Sept. 11, 2001 weren’t members of a sophisticated international crime ring. They were members of a worldwide terrorist group bent on destroying America and the West. They valued the senseless act of mass murder over the value of their own lives. [...]

More insanity from the Obama administration: Khalid Sheikh Mohammed will stand trial in criminal court in NYC: Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, alleged mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, and four others accused in the attacks will be put on criminal trial in New York, Attorney General Eric Holder is expected to announce later Friday.The [...]

Republicans claim two new governorships in Virginia (Bob McDonnell) and New Jersey (Chris Christie), but lost by a small margin in the drama that is NY-23. The flood of high profile endorsements from Palin, et. al. was not able to carry Doug Hoffman over the winning edge. However, had Dede Scozzafava bowed out of the [...]

Soon after Dede Scozzafava (R-NY) dropped out of the NY-23 race, top Democrats began wooing her to endorse Bill Owens (D-NY). Among those engaged in luring her to the “dark side” included Rep. Steve Israel (D-NY), Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, N.Y. Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, and even Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY). Even the White House [...]

Just not long ago Dede Scozzafava (R-NY) bowed out (or pushed out) of the NY-23 race, but soon enough she’s showing her true colors by publicly supporting Bill Owens (D-NY) against surging Doug Hoffman: I want to thank you for your support and friendship. Over the past 24 hours, I have had encouraging words sent [...]
