Rochester did not ask for these detention cells. We have shared our concerns and demanded transparency from the Trump Administration. We have been summarily ignored.
They picked the wrong community for that. We will fight back.

@PatriciaHeaton If anyone wants to hear about sacrifice, they need to sit down with a combat veteran and listen to them.
I had the privilege of sitting down with an individual who was on Omaha Beach. I will never forget his stories.

The max one can pay into social security per year is $10,453.20.
If you did that every year from age 18 until retirement, the max you’ll get from SS is $4,873 /month.
If you put it into an S&P index fund instead, you would receive $32,583 per month.
Social Security is a scam.

Rainy day in New York. So I read the state budget. All 4,000+ pages of it (10 bills).
It’s a novel. A very expensive one. Written with your money.
How does any of this make New York more affordable for you?
$6M — FIFA soccer fields. Because the World Cup.
$10M — Grants for nonprofits to buy their own buildings.
$160M — Quantum computing hubs. Five of them.
$500M — Cash bailout for NYC. Upstate pays. $4B total to make Zohran happy.
$103M — Arts Council grants. Plus $8M just to run the agency.
$75M — Subway design studies. No shovels. Just studies.
Full list in the slide.
$268.5 billion. $2.4 billion in items that do nothing for your life. Aren’t you tired of this?
Put me in that room. I’ll be the loudest guy at the table. I promise.
New Yorkers pay the most. It’s time someone fought for them.

🚨 JUST IN: Israeli couple harassed and filmed by pro-Pal resort employee in Cambria, California. Judging from the interior, it appears to be the Cambria Pines Lodge. The Jewish woman tells her partner in Hebrew that she doesn’t want to stay at the resort as she is afraid the employee might break into their room… The employee should be fired immediately‼️ I have enhanced his image using AI. @StopAntisemites @HenMazzig

@BobLonsberry The Irondequoit town supervisor sounds like a petty little man.
English
Irondequoit police Captain Andrew Whitaker's hopes of becoming chief of the Fairport Police Department may have been shot down by the Irondequoit town supervisor.
Whitaker, a universally loved officer with 25 years of service in Irondequoit, intended to retire from Irondequoit to take the Fairport job.
The Irondequoit retirement package includes lifetime health benefits, and previous officers who've retired and moved to other departments have had that benefit suspended during their service at the other departments, but had it resume when they ultimately leave that department.
When Whitaker looked at his retirement paperwork, preparatory to accepting the Fairport job, however, he saw that the healthcare benefit was not included. The Irondequoit supervisor had decided he would not be given the coverage, even after he eventually left the Fairport department.
That means he would have to forfeit his retirement healthcare benefit to become the Fairport chief. As a family man, he can't afford that.
The Irondequoit supervisor is apparently trying to discourage Whitaker's departure, though this seems a crude and cruel way to do that.
An effort by the Irondequoit chief to thwart the supervisor's effort -- by demoting Whitaker to lieutenant to put him into a more-protected union category -- was unsuccessful.
If this situation persists, the supervisor's move will have dispirited his Operations captain and deprived Fairport of an excellent and much-needed chief -- a tragic lose-lose.

@BobLonsberry "Getting stupider every day" is the new motto for NYS.

New York State, where five illegal aliens were central to the September 11 terrorist attack that killed some 3,000 New Yorkers, has just outlawed coordination between New York police and federal immigration officials.

By the 1930s many Western intellectuals reluctantly realised that classical Marxism had failed and the proletariat wasn’t revolting. But then a group of exiled German Marxists led by Max Horkheimer, Theodor Adorno, Erich Fromm and Herbert Marcuse decided to change the battlefield.
Instead of economics, they targeted the “cultural superstructure”: family, religion, tradition, sexual norms and the very idea of objective truth. Their weapon was Critical Theory - a relentless campaign of negative criticism designed to portray every Western institution as inherently oppressive and capitalism as not just economically flawed, but psychologically and morally corrupt.
Marcuse gave the strategy its most powerful tactical manual in his 1965 essay “Repressive Tolerance”: true liberation, he argued, required “liberating tolerance” - tolerance only for progressive ideas and outright intolerance for conservative or “regressive” ones. Free speech, in other words, was only legitimate when it served the revolution.
The intellectual poison of the Frankfurt School was extraordinarily influential and as its graduates and intellectual heirs colonised universities, media, NGOs and corporate HR departments, Critical Theory evolved into today’s identity politics, DEI mandates and cancel culture - a cultural Marxism that attacks the individual in the name of group grievance. What began with a small circle of German émigrés in the 1930s now shapes the moral vocabulary of much of the Western elite. The result has been a softer, more pervasive authoritarianism: the dictatorship of the politically correct.

🚨BREAKING: Stephen Miller, a senior Trump Advisor, is trying to exclude illegal aliens from the U.S. census, which removes House seats from Blue states like California, New York etc.
Do you support excluding illegals from the U.S. census?

@SekeltheAwesome If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Seems like the trend is to see how awful someone can make something. The nation, an app, a sport. Holy hell.
