Comrade De Blasio Not Happy With Peasants Riding E-Bikes
[PC] New York City mayor Bill De Blasio previously had a big problem with horse drawn carriages, which allowed the proletariat to make money to eat and shelter. Now he sets his sights on something else.

You have a mode a transportation that is good for the environment, and good for the low wage workers. Glad Bill and the city elders care about these things.

See? Bad for low wage workers (BTW, here 15 years and needs a translator? This is why many complain about illegal and legal immigration)

Wait a minute: de Blasio’s law enforcement is confiscating people’s property, property which is legal to own (but not, apparently, use) in NYC and New York State (state law takes precedence over local law)? They’re taking property away that could have cost a minimum of $500, and often in the thousands? How Progressive of Bill.

Trump’s first year in office is complete failure: Analyst
Bless their hearts...
[PRESSTV] US President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
’s first year in the White House has been a complete failure, according to Myles Hoenig, an American political analyst and activist.

Hoenig, a former Green Party candidate for Congress, made the remarks in an interview with Press TV on Tuesday when asked what Trump has achieved in 2017, and whether he has delivered on his campaign promises.

"With President Trump, we really got a president like no other. No one expected the erudition of a JFK or the appearance of the ’coolness’ of a Barack Obama
teachable moment...
, but did we really expect a cross between Berlusconi of Italia and the cartoon character Peter Griffin of Family Guy?" Hoenig said.

"By nearly all measures, Trump is a failure his first year. Except for his signature welfare for the uber-wealthy tax reform bill, he has no legislative history to date. Much of what he has accomplished has been through presidential fiat, his executive orders," he added.

"He has proven himself to be a lot less than what his publicists (and he) have been proclaiming for decades. The fantastic deal maker failed in nearly every legislative venture he attempted, until the welfare bill for his Mar a Lago patrons," the analyst said.

"He failed at repealing Obamacare
... aka the Affordable Care Act, an ineptly designed and worse executed piece of legislation designed to bring 17 percent of the U.S. economy under the direct control of the government. The previous iteration, known as Hillarycare, was laughed out of Washington. This stinker was passed on a party-line vote without being read...
, building a wall and having Mexico pay for it, or improving the economy, except that those with the economic power believe the economy is doing well. He was successful in doing all things negative that he promised. The US no longer abides by the Gay Paree Agreements, he’s terminating US’s agreement with Iran on the nuclear deal and he’s imposed travel bans to the US on Moslems, specifically targeting them," the activist noted.

"What Trump will most be remembered for the first year is his boorish behavior, his intellectual witlessness and promotion of hate. Trump’s idiotic tweets reflect his thinking at the moment, which sometimes had changed to something even more idiotic or contradictory," he continued.

#1  ANAL-yst. Hoe nig has a youtube video that says capitalism is the root of "our" problems. The mad mullahs love this guy.

From the Green Party 2015 Manifesto.

The bonkers Green Party wants to up the tax on the dead to keep the children of the "priveledged class" from their inheritance (in other words, they get your inheritance, not your kiddos.)

Anything given to children by their parents of value must be gift taxed. (in other words, the greenies are your children, not your children).

Steep taxes on cars (they are the green party, you know).

Tax resources taken from nature such as wood, silver, gold , coal, etc. (they are the green party you know).

Prostitutes can keep their kids shielded from CPS (Gives "anchor baby" a new meaning?).

Keep only criminals in jail who need protection from vigilantes.

All new homes MUST provide bicycle parking.

Higher taxes for airlines with the most passengers.

Terrorism is "an extremely loaded term" (TNT?).

Illegals who make it across the border get 5 years full benefits so they can cool their heals after such stringent effort.

Formula milk must be regulated.
Abolish SAT tests (save the trees?).

#5  Has Myles Hoenig ever read Chicken Little or The Boy Who Cried Wolf?

CDC memo: 7-12-1969. Study of chronic LSD addicts. High regular doses of LSD seem to completely impede any ability of rational thought and or understanding beyond compulsive toilet paper recycling. These users often display semblances of primate behavior.

Specifically the throwing of their own fecal matter and lifetime DNC memberships. There is no known cure-treatment.

#11  If you are a socialist, or a globalist, a communist, anarchist, fachist, or any other anti American hate group, you would see him as a complete failure to your cause. To us red blooded capitalist Americans that want to reduce government spending and regulations, he is a complete success....

Pro-lifers want answers after Oregon admits to spending $1.8 million on abortions
[Wash Times] Oregon pro-life activists are asking for more transparency and oversight after the government admitted to wasting tens of millions of taxpayer dollars and impermissibly financing abortions with federal money.

Lois Anderson, executive director of Oregon Right to Life, said there is a "lax" attitude in the state when it comes to "following laws related to abortion."

"It’s disturbing but not surprising," Ms. Anderson said. "Our current administration in Oregon is not especially concerned with tracking how they’re paying for abortions. We use state funds to pay for almost half of all abortions in Oregon."

In a Nov. 17 letter to Gov. Kate Brown, Oregon Health Authority (OHA) Director Pat Allen documented the myriad ways in which the agency tasked with managing the state’s $9.3 billion Medicaid program has wasted or misallocated taxpayer dollars.

Among other things, Oregon overpaid $74 million in federal funds to "dual eligible" enrollees who were old enough to qualify for Medicare and poor enough to qualify for Medicaid, Mr. Allen said in the letter.
