@therealmcnair Can’t wait for my blue gator

The belts and wallets are going to be one of those products where people immediately understand where the money went the second they open the box. Handmade in America by one of the best leather manufacturers in the country. Real exotic leathers. Heavy hardware. Built the right way. Facts: You genuinely cannot get this level of construction direct to consumer at our price point. Comparable belts from brands using the same level of manufacturing routinely retail for $500 to $700. We wanted to make something awesome and price it as fairly as we possibly could. We have very little markup and margin on these. I think people are going to love them.

Makes sense. I was basically a terrorist in 1994. Makes me a little sad my boys won’t know what it’s like

Everybody wants to see the Knicks get a ring

Underrated things about NJ - 1) NJ is deeply, deeply unpretentious. It filters out pinkies up people better than anywhere else in the country. 2) NJ is hilarious. My least funny friend in high school is top 1% funny any other place in the country. 3) Food in NJ is amazing. Especially in the suburbs. Strip mall meals in NJ mog just about any other suburban cuisine in the country.

1994: Last time LIRR went on strike Also in 1994: Knicks won the East 2026: LIRR on strike ... Also in 2026: ????????

What exactly did you think that looks like when they have it? Saw this with the Long Shoremen a couple years back. Do you want labor to have the power, or only up to a certain arbitrary point (where they don’t make more money than you for work you think is easier than yours)?

I negotiate CBAs for a living, so to see Hochul and even liberals on here going at the Teamsters once they see their inflated salaries and ridiculous work rules is amusing. You say you’re pro-union, but the union’s goal is always to have a monopoly on the labor market…

How you stand when you park your stroller on the first baseline in the middle of a game and complain kids shouldn’t even be allowed to play baseball today because a ball almost hit you 🙄

Because we like golf a lot more than having all our personal data put in an algorithm

He’s in a rush. Have the old lady in front of him pay with cash and make the cashier a Gen Z kid who doesn’t understand how to make change.

@therealmcnair Imagine making fun of this strong backswing position

Getting nuked here as an internet stranger screenshotted an admittedly tough image during his Wednesday. Fair enough honestly. The training aid bit was supposed to be funny and I’m also carrying strong Midwest winter layering while pushing 40 years old. The good news is cotton still reigns supreme, my wife remains outrageously attractive, and the products still absolutely rip.

Mamdani is lying to you. He didn't turn a $12B budget deficit to $0. Spark notes: He inflated the deficit by $8B compared to Adams, brought it back down, then closed the rest with one-off bailout funds from Kathy Hochul who's desperate for a win. Funny thing is most of you morons believe it. The entire Democratic party is cheering a lie while "cooking" the books. New York City has been LEGALLY REQUIRED to balance its budget every single year since 1975. State law. The Financial Emergency Act. Passed after the city almost went bankrupt and Gerald Ford told them to drop dead. Mamdani's own budget message brags this is the 47th consecutive balanced budget. Bloomberg balanced. de Blasio balanced. Adams balanced. Giuliani balanced. Crediting Mamdani for balancing the budget is like crediting a taxi driver for stopping at a red light. Now the $12 billion. Adams left office with a projected FY27 gap of $4.69 billion. So where did the extra eight billion come from? Mamdani's own team. They walked in and moved hidden spending back onto the books: rental assistance, shelter ops, special ed reimbursements, NYPD overtime. Legit cleanup work. Then they ran to a podium and called it a deficit they inherited. They printed the number. Then they took credit for printing the number. How did they "close" it? Half came from Albany. Hochul wrote a check: $8 billion in state aid over two years. THIS IS NOT SUSTAINABLE. HE DIDN'T FIX ANYTHING. Mamdani's signature millionaire's tax? KILLED by Hochul. Corporate rate hike? KILLED. Free buses he ran on? KILLED. CityFHEPS expansion he campaigned on? He's in court right now fighting it. Then there's the pension trick. $1.64 billion of the "savings" comes from extending pension amortization from 2032 to 2037. The Citizens Budget Commission called it "a pension gimmick" that "balances this budget on the backs of future New Yorkers." William Glasgall, Volcker Alliance, said it "creates a debt that's more expensive than muni bonds." And the kicker. The budget IS NOT ADOPTED. Council votes June 30. The state budget the whole thing depends on was still not enacted as of last week. Out-year gaps under Mamdani's own numbers: FY2028: $7.1 billion FY2029: $8.5 billion FY2030: $9.8 billion The hole grew $5.4 billion in three months. So the real headline. Hochul cut a check. Future workers eat the pension bill. The structural deficit is BIGGER than the day he walked in. They didn't fix anything. They moved it. The math: $4.69B real gap. $8B from Hochul. $1.64B pension can-kick. $25.9B in future gaps. He didn't balance the books. But he's gambling your future and kicking the can down the road. So maybe stop celebrating. But what do I know. Good luck.

@feelsdesperate Did Adams cause a budget crisis because he over spent or is it because he was forced to shelter bus loads of migrants and also wouldn’t budget for the ever-increasing handout costs (so now Mamdani simply doesn’t have enough money to pass around to ineffective social programs)?

Notice that ‘reasonable centrists’ can’t defend Mamdani’s policy directly because what he’s proposing is too objectionable and stupid. So instead their tactic is what-aboutism and dissembling. It’s important to understand that ‘reasonable centrists’ are almost always crypto leftists who are totally comfortable with the DSA agenda

He’s going to the post office. Add 10 people in line who have never mailed anything in their entire life

Put on something decent for mom today
