Posted By: Ribicon, 3/11/2021 11:08:50 PM
Seven subway track inspectors have been suspended without pay—amid allegations by the MTA inspector general that they failed to conduct inspections and lied about it on official forms, The Post has learned. Investigators from IG Carolyn Pokorny’s office stationed at platforms along inspection routes said the seven workers “were nowhere to be found” during scheduled walking tours, despite affirming otherwise on official forms, according to the IG’s Dec. 28 report, which was obtained by The Post. The seven workers were flagged to the IG by supervisors after news reports of debris falling from elevated tracks. Investigators also caught them using personal cell phones while

people. Let's be honest' 0 replies
Don Lemon says it’s incredibly frustrating that so many White people refer to “tough” conversation about race when it comes easy to him. The CNN host told Jimmy Fallon Thursday night that the blueprint for healing racial divides in America can be found through him and specifically in his new book “How Change Happens.” “This book is a great way to grow,” the “Tonight Show” host said. “And, even just have the conversation. Although it’s awkward, sometimes it needs to be had.” Mr. Lemon signed in exasperation before responding.(Snip) The conversation then zeroed in politically right-leaning Americans as the primary impediment

police death: city council probe 0 replies
Rochester’s mayor lied to dodge responsibility about when she learned details about her police department’s handling of the suffocation death of an unarmed Black man in police custody last year, a city-commissioned panel said Friday. Mayor Lovely Warren had said she didn’t learn until August that Rochester cops had slipped a hood over Daniel Prude’s head to keep the mentally ill man from spitting at them during his March 23 arrest after he was seen running naked through the streets. In fact, Warren was told of the incident the very day of Prude’s death—and by mid-April she and then-Police Chief La'Ron
A group of 30 women on Friday spoke out about the bullying and harassment they faced while working with for Andrew Cuomo as the New York Governor insists he won't resign and is not guilty of abuse. The women spoke to New York Magazine in a detailed account of the allegedly abusive environment that the governor's aides are subjected to. It included multiple women who claim that they were led to take anti-depressants and go to therapy for the first time in their lives after the atmosphere created by Cuomo and some of his senior aides took a drastic toll on their mental health.
Antifa protesters have burned American flags and clashed with cops outside the Federal Courthouse in downtown Portland. The ugly scenes occurred Thursday evening, as dozens of the far-left protesters assembled in the area for a demonstration against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The Courthouse has already been boarded up with plywood after sustaining damage during destructive protests last summer, but shocking video shared to Twitter shows all remaining uncovered windows were smashed during the latest demonstration. 'Anti ICE protesters gather. A few of the remaining uncovered windows have been broken. An American flag burns in front of the door,' local journalist
A former aide to Gov. Andrew Cuomo described how he spotted her at a lobbying event, “grabbed her in a kind of dance pose” and then had her hired for his office, where he went on to “verbally and mentally abuse” her, she told New York Magazine, recalling how he would critique her outfits and once threatened to “end” her career over her failure to transfer a phone call.
The ex-staffer, identified only as Kaitlin, spoke to New York for an article published Friday, as dozens of Democratic lawmakers at the state and federal levels have called for Cuomo to resign over sexual harassment
Shocking video shows a massive line of migrants being smuggled across the Rio Grande into Texas, despite President Joe Biden continuing to insist there is no crisis along the southern border. The clip, which was captured on Thursday morning by former Border Security Operations Center manager Jaeson Jones, shows dozens of migrants standing on an embankment as they wait for boats to bring them across into the United States. The small boats appear to be operated by people smugglers concealing their identities in ski masks. The footage has been shared by several politicians, including Texas Rep. Chip Roy, who has blasted President Biden
Amazon has decided to stop selling books that cast lesbian, gay and transgender identities as mental illnesses. The e-commerce titan revealed its decision in a letter to three Republican senators who cried foul last month over the removal of a conservative scholar’s book about transgender people. The book, “When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Moment,” was published in 2018 but recently disappeared from Amazon’s website, Kindle store and Audible audiobook platform.(Snip) The book by Ryan Anderson claims to reveal the “often sad reality” of living with gender dysphoria, the discomfort one experiences when their gender identity doesn’t match
Residents in a wealthy Atlanta community are trying to create their own police force as part of a push for secession as the city is rocked by a crime wave with murders up 80 percent so far this year. The Buckhead Exploratory Committee, made up of residents of the city's richest neighborhood of Buckhead, are looking to break away from the city in the wake of a surge in violent crime that has left people 'genuinely concerned for their safety.'(Snip) 'Residents must be wary and 'on guard' continuously, even when doing routine tasks like going to the gas station, nearby shopping mall,
Steven Rauch and Johnny Teehee are two men who were brought together by grief and have now formed a bond through forgiveness. It's been said that loss can bring people together. "You know this is something in 35 years in law enforcement, I've never heard of," Teehee told Rauch during a hug, after meeting him in person for the first time. Teehee is the police chief for Muskogee, Oklahoma. On Feb. 28, Teehee learned his officers were involved in a shootout with Rauch's 17-year-old daughter Farrah.(Snip) "(Teehee's) crew didn't even know these were kids. They thought they were, like, adults,"
Members of the European Parliament voted on Thursday to declare the European Union an “LGBTIQ Freedom Zone,” in direct response to Poland’s so-called “LGBT-free” zones, which were first declared two years ago. The resolution, which passed with 492 votes in favor, 141 against and 46 abstentions, was adopted following the ever-growing deterioration of the rights of sexual orientation and gender identity minorities across many EU nations, namely Poland and Hungary. Since the first anti-LGBTQ zone was declared in the Polish town of Swidnik in March 2019, more than 100 Polish regions, counties and municipalities have adopted resolutions declaring themselves to be free

Kingdom come… to Prince Charles’ defense. Members of The Kingdom’s Choir—who performed at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding—are speaking up in defense of Prince Charles as the royal family faces allegations of racism stemming from the Sussexes’ Sunday night pow-wow with Oprah Winfrey. Ms. Karen Gibson, founder and conductor of The Kingdom’s Choir, told TMZ Thursday that it was Prince Charles who invited the African-American group to bless the congregation during Harry and Meg’s nuptials, an invitation she believed to be sincere. She also claims Charles has gone “out of his way” to congratulate them on their success since the event.

President Joe Biden recognized the year-long anniversary of the coronavirus lockdowns on Thursday but urged Americans to continue obeying guidance from the federal government.“Put trust and faith in our government to fulfill its most important function, which is to protect the American people,” the president said.In his first primetime speech as president, Biden spoke about the punishing emotional toll of the coronavirus lockdowns but encouraged Americans to continue following all of the rules from health officials.“We need to remember that the government isn’t some foreign force in a distant capital,” he said. “No, it’s us. All of us.”
Joe Biden delivered his very first address as US President on the anniversary of the COVID lockdowns.Virtually no one tuned in to the White House’s YouTube channel to watch dementia Joe speak gibberish for 20 minutes.Joe Biden’s doom and gloom speech was not inspiring at all. He lied about Trump and threatened Americans with indefinite lockdowns if we don’t wear masks and maintain social distancing.Biden actually believes he has the authority to tell Americans who we can spend the Fourth of July with.
Now that the implications of the Harris/Biden administration are setting in, my Democrat friends (yes, I do have a few) are becoming very embarrassed. They bought into the propaganda that all the turmoil in Washington was created by the erratic and immoral behavior of Donald Trump. Their vote for Harris/Biden was a vote to return to normal. They didn’t realize that the Democrats weren’t offering a return to normal, they were offering the establishment of a “new normal.” (snip) My friends are belatedly realizing that the turmoil was not created by Donald Trump. It was manufactured by the Democrats, simply to win an election.
On Thursday night, a masked Biden tottered down a long, empty hall to a podium. He then gave the most bizarre presidential address in American history. After a grim recital of “facts” about the last year, Biden emphasized multiple times that Americans had better take the vaccine – and be grateful to him for his amazing ability to get the vaccine to Americans. He also insisted that, vaccines or not, the government’s in control and can lock all of us up all over again. (snip) Biden kept saying that he was going to tell the truth. (snip) Do you know who says things like that? Someone who’s lying.
A former employee of Panda Express has filed a lawsuit against the company, claiming that it urged its employees to complete a training seminar in which she was forced to strip down to her underwear in front of other participants and subsequently hug a male participant who was also in his underwear, also in front of other participants. Panda Express has since issued a statement denying ownership or control of the seminar and insisting that it did not mandate attendance.
The lawsuit claims that some Panda Express employees were led to believe participating in the seminar would enhance their chances at promotion,

A conversation on the academic performance of Black law students between two faculty members teaching at Georgetown following a Zoom session was recorded and posted online without their knowledge. As a result, one of them has been fired and tearfully apologized, while the other one is “on leave until the investigation by the Office of Diversity, Equity and Affirmative Action is complete,” for failing to react in outrage over what the Dean of the law school termed “reprehensible statements concerning the evaluation of Black students.” (snip) apparently it is “reprehensible” to truthfully discuss the academic performance of Black students

The Democratic Party stood virtually united “resisting” Trump for four years. Their stalwart opposition was ruthless and unwavering. It had been my hope that if there was any lasting legacy of Trump in the Republican Party it would be that he taught them not just to not walk away from a fight but to actually fight back.Yet again, I find myself disappointed.

Last fall, the U.S. Air Force simulated a conflict set more than a decade in the future that began with a Chinese biological-weapon attack that swept through U.S. bases and warships in the Indo-Pacific region. Then a major Chinese military exercise was used as cover for the deployment of a massive invasion force. The simulation culminated with Chinese missile strikes raining down on U.S. bases and warships in the region, and (Snip)assault on the island of Taiwan.

Rep. Anthony Gonzalez put his political career at risk when he voted to impeach Donald Trump in January for his role in the U.S. Capitol riot.
The decision created backlash and political opponents within his own Republican Party. But, at least one Republican group, has his back.
The Republican Accountability Project launched a $1 million television and billboard campaign to express support for all Republicans who voted for impeachment. Defending Democracy Together, a right-learning anti-Trump advocacy group, is behind the initiative.
The city of Minneapolis on Friday agreed to pay $27 million to settle a civil lawsuit from George Floyd's family over the Black man's death in police custody, even as jury selection continued in a former officer's murder trial.
The Minneapolis City Council emerged from a closed session to announce the record settlement, which includes $500,000 for the neighborhood where Floyd was arrested. Floyd family attorney Ben Crump called a news conference for 1 p.m. that was to include family members.
