Mayor Eric Adams has demoted his younger brother after Hizzoner initially chose him to serve as a deputy NYPD commissioner, city officials confirmed Wednesday. Bernard Adams, a 56-year-old retired NYPD sergeant, will now serve as executive director of mayoral security, according to police officials—a position multiple notches lower in rank from his previously designated title. He will be paid a $210,000 salary, a roughly $30,000 pay cut from the salary deputy police commissioners typically earn, the sources said.(Snip)The mayor’s younger brother most recently served as assistant director for parking at Virginia Commonwealth University, where he’s been employed since 2011, according to his LinkedIn.

Assistant director of parking; that's an impressive credential. No wonder the mayor selected him, then shuffled the chairs when he got caught.

As assistant director for parking at VCU did he get to ride a Segway or a little 3-wheeled cart when he went about his rounds ticketing illegally parked cars?

Hey, what's with the negative remarks about "assistant director of parking"? It obviously qualifies a person for a $210,000 / year position. Now that's impressive.

So, his nearly $30,000 reduction from the previous position would come to about $14.50 per hour, or about what the democrats are saying needs to be the new minimum wage.

The Food and Drug Administration said it will stop regulating French dressing after keeping a tight rein on its key ingredients since 1950. The US agency announced on Wednesday that it would lift guidelines that required manufacturers to sell a product with 35% vegetable oil if it wanted to market it as “French dressing.”(Snip) By removing the standard, the FDA hopes to “provide greater flexibility in the product’s manufacture, consistent with comparable, nonstandardized foods available in the marketplace.” The move was made in response to a 1998 petition that was filed by the Association of Dressings and Sauces. It is unclear why the FDA waited until recently to address

Carjackings raced out of control in the Big Apple last year, surging 55 percent over 2020, according to new NYPD data Thursday—a day after two car thieves struck in Manhattan less than an hour apart. “New York has become carjack city,” one NYPD official told The Post. “Between the guns and the low-risk of stealing cars, we’ve seen this explosion in carjackings.” From 2018 to last year, carjackings in the five boroughs shot up 355 percent—led by a staggering 4,400-percent jump in the NYPD’s Manhattan North borough command and increases of more than 400 percent in the Bronx and Brooklyn North commands, the statistics show.

Prices at the wholesale level surged by 9.7 percent for all of 2021, setting an annual record and providing further evidence that inflation is still hammering all levels of the U.S. economy. The producer price index, which measures inflation at the wholesale level, did slow on a monthly basis, rising just 0.2 percent in December compared with 1 percent in November, the Labor Department said Thursday. Thursday's report came a day after the government reported that consumer inflation jumped 7 percent in December from a year earlier, the highest such inflation rate since 1982.

Because they’re gutless,” Trump said in a new interview with the far-right One America Network. “You got to say it. Whether you had it or not. Say it.” Trump didn’t name DeSantis in the interview.

CNN’s ratings took a nosedive by a massive 90 percent both overall and in the all-important demographic coveted by advertisers in the first week of the new year. The Jeff Zucker-led cable news network averaged just 548,000 viewers during the week of Jan. 3—a major drop from the nearly 2.7 million viewers for the same week in 2021, according to Nielsen ratings. The year-ago ratings were jolted by the left-leaning network’s coverage of the Jan. 6 attack on the US Capitol, which resulted in CNN having its most-watched day since Ted Turner launched the news outlet in 1980.
