@SteveMcNY Don’t forget the union responsibilty for this mess.

It took a pathetic weakling of a Governor and a complicit bought and paid for Legislature to usher in tier 6 "reforms." All they are doing is passing massive costs on to counties, towns and cities which will cause massive property taxes increases. BLAME THEM not the counties, towns and cities who will be stuck with the bill. It's very easy to pass bills you don't have to pay for.

@yesnicksearcy Doooouk…blah blah blah

Thank you, Lord, for saving us from the nightmare of having to listen to how great Duke is for one more year. Waiting for Scheyer to claim that UConn fans beat the shit out of his staffers after they won.

@mikeroweworks @yesnicksearcy Mike, what are you doing at a jimmy kimmel show?

If you haven’t heard, and even if you have, Jimmy Kimmel said this about Markwayne Mullin, former Senator from Oklahoma, and our newest Secretary of Homeland Security: “We have a plumber now protecting us from terrorism.” Apparently, there has been some backlash. Plumbers were offended, obviously, as were parents of plumbers, spouses of plumbers, children of plumbers, and millions of people who have had a plumber show up when they needed one. Comedians were also offended, (the funny ones, anyway,) along with a surprising number of terrorists - especially those with access to hot and cold running water. However, in spite of the ensuing kerfuffle, @jimmykimmel doubled down. “I’m not upset that the head of Homeland Security was a plumber,” he said, “I’m upset that he isn’t still a plumber." He further elucidated by adding, "I wouldn't put a plumber in charge of Homeland Security for the same reason I wouldn't call a five-star general to pull a rat out of my toilet, OK? We all have our areas of expertise.” Being offended is always a choice, and I don’t choose to be offended by a joke, even one that comes at the expense of the skilled tradespeople my foundation tries to elevate. But I am a tad butt hurt by the suggestion that skilled workers should never evolve into something new, and that competence is somehow limited to one vocation. Obviously, expertise and skill are important. If I need a new kidney, I’d prefer a doctor do the surgery, not a late-night talk show host. But if the doctor in question used to host a talk show, why would I hold that against him? Ten years ago, during one of the presidential debates, @MarcoRubio answered a workforce-related question by arguing that America needed to get shop class back into high schools. He concluded by saying, “What our country needs are more welders and fewer philosophers.” A lot of people on this page commented that Rubio and I were singing from the same hymnal, but in fact, we weren’t. At least not entirely. Because I don’t think the current shortage of welders has anything to do with an overabundance of philosophers. In fact, I think it’s a mistake to promote one vocation at the expense of the other. What we really need in this country, are more welders who can talk intelligently about Aristotle, and more philosophers who can run an even bead. More Generals, in other words, who can fix their own toilets, and more plumbers who can hold a powerful government job. This is what Mullin did. He was a private citizen who mastered an essential skill and then turned that skill into a multi-million-dollar company that employed a lot of people and served a lot of customers. That gave him the freedom to do other things with his life, including a career in public service which got him into Congress, where he’s spent the last eleven years doing whatever Congressmen do. Now, he has a very consequential position in the Cabinet of the current administration. Is that not the embodiment of the American Dream? I get that Jimmy Kimmel might have a problem with Mullin’s politics, but what possible objection could he have about the trajectory of his career, or his desire to do more than one thing with his life? The only sensible thing to do in the wake of a moment this tone deaf, is remind America that the skills gap is wide, and getting wider. The shortage of skilled tradespeople is now headline news and closing it is nothing less than a matter of national security. This year, my foundation has set aside $10 million dollars to help train the next generation of plumbers, and lots of other essential workers. I'm talking about hundreds of thousands of AI-proof, six figure jobs that don't require a four-year degree, waiting to be filled. The money is currently available to anyone who wants to master a useful skill at mikeroweworks.org. Apply today. As for those of you genuinely offended by Kimmel's comments, consider expressing your disappointment with a modest donation to mikeroweWORKS. Our work ethic scholarship is making a real difference, and your money will be well spent, I promise. The donate button is big and red and hard to miss, at mikeroweworks.org I’d love to chat but I’ve gotta pull a rat out of my toilet…

@RealJamesWoods She is very talented. Stupid and crazy at the same time.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

@AriFleischer Written by idiots for their target audience…idiots.

What a hideous article. It’s a guide for how people who are in the US illegally can get away with it. Btw, the ICE officers I saw at LGA yesterday did a great job filling in for TSA. Without ICE, there would longer lines. gothamist.com/news/ice-is-at…

@sfj8888 @ROCHNYCRIMEINFO The snowplows aren’t busy lately. They can help clean up the street.

It sounded like 400blk - 700blk Monroe Ave was quite a shit show from 0200 - 0315 hours, with multiple fights, people loitering, gathering, parking wherever they wanted to. It took multiple RPD Officers to get them out of the area. #RochesterNY #ROC @ROCHNYCRIMEINFO

Democrat Senator Chris Murphy and Jimmy Kimmel join a “no kings” rally holding childish anti-Trump signs

@america Good, don’t leave their side, including when they get deported.

Gov. Tim Walz: “We’ll never leave the side of Somali Minnesotans… your great grandchildren will be here when that orange clown is in the dustbin of history.”

@libsoftiktok Loser

Man claims he was fired from his job after slamming the company’s founder— who died of cancer— for voting for Trump Do you feel bad for him?

@RepFine @TSA Democoward

Just got filmed going through @TSA as I head home after two weeks in DC. We will see if it is interesting to post a video of a Congressman going through the same security line as everyone else. No Kings!

@wxbywilliams There are journalists in Rochester?

Can any journalist in Rochester ask one of these activists to explain, in precise and specific terms, how their "climate bill" will change the global weather for the better?

@IndyCarOnFOX The slight benefit of the FS1 audio problems during Fast 6 is not having to listen to drama queen will buxton.

The Barber Motorsports Park NTT P1 Award goes to Alex Palou and the No. 10 team!

@BuzzPatterson Jerry Nadler’s side piece?

What is it?

@MarinaMedvin Idiots

Boomers at it again this weekend. Pictures from Virginia Patch.

@wxbywilliams @sfj8888 @SenatorBrouk @climategfl @climategfl non-partisan? LOL I put brouk in the class as gillibrand…useless

@SenatorBrouk @climategfl Stop. There is no climate crisis. And no matter how many laws you try to pass, the impact on the weather will be nil. We're living in a climate "optimum." Storms come and go as they always have. And it is always about money & control. Fortunately, more folks are seeing the grift.

My office was proud to join Climate Solutions Accelerator here in Rochester to support NY's commitment to the climate and protecting future generations. Local activists shared what the climate crisis means to them and how we must remain steadfast in our climate action goals.

@AAGDhillon @CivilRights @TheJusticeDept New York!

The @CivilRights Division has sued several jurisdictions for denying firearm permits & deliberately slowing the application process. Not on my watch! @TheJusticeDept is upholding Second Amendment rights for all Americans!!

@adamcarolla He might be correct, but he is still a snake oil salesman.

If this guy sold cars the democrats would burn down his dealership

@DonutOperator @CoryBooker Calm down booger

The chaos of shortening lines, handing out water, and saving a baby from choking to death. You’re doing great @CoryBooker

@KatieMiller @libsoftiktok @tim_cook what is going on at the App Store?

This is very typical with Apple. Their left wing engineers and editors pick political winners and losers at every turn.
