[NYPOST] New York City’s public-school classrooms will not reopen until Sept. 21 to give teachers and principals more time to ready facilities amid the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... — under an 11th-hour deal struck between Mayor Comrade Bill de Blasio ...cryptocommie mayor of New York and for some reason a Dem candidate for president in 2020. Corrupt and incompetent, his qualifications for office seem to consist of being married to a black woman, with whom he honeymooned in Cuba. He has a preppy-looking son named Dante, whose Divine Comedy involved getting his back hair up when a police car drove past him slowly. New Yorkers voted for him, so they deserve him... and the system’s powerful unions.
Students will start the year online Sept. 16, then be allowed to move to a hybrid approach including some in-person instruction five days later, de Blasio and schools Chancellor Richard Carranza announced Tuesday.
The schools had been set to reopen for partial in-person instruction Sept 10.
The plan was so last-minute that "a lot of details were worked through especially yesterday,’’ de Blasio said.
Asked why the city waited till now — fewer than two weeks before the start of school — to suddenly change things, the mayor dismissed any disruption as "very modest.
"For all the parents of kids who are going to be in blended learning, it does mean a few more days where they are going to have to figure out accommodations,’’ de Blasio said.
"But ... we were juggling a lot of important factors.
"It is a very modest change,’’ he said of the new plan. "It is a change. I do empathize with parents. But it is a very modest change.’’

This is unbelievably chickenshit behavior, bereft of a microgram of leadership.
Let's cut right to it:
[Zero Hedge] - In late July, Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler attempted to hold a 'listening session' with BLM protesters - wading into an angry crowd he thought he could tame with his giant brain and a PA loudspeaker, in what he called a 'listening session'.
Instead, he was heckled by the crowd and then booed after he wouldn't commit to abolishing the police.
...
And so, the mayor who just five days ago rejected the Trump administration's offer to send federal law enforcement to help control the city, is moving out of his building, according to Fox News.
In a Tuesday email to the other residents of his 114-unit high rise, Wheeler expressed his "sincere apologies for the damage to our home and the fear that you are experiencing due to my position," adding "It’s unfair to all of you who have no role in politics or in my administration."
Wheeler added that it would be "best for me and for everyone else's safety and peace" if he left the two-bedroom unit he bought in 2017 for $840,000 according to Multnomah County property records.

And he thinks they won't follow him to the new place because...?

840 grand, eh? Wonder what it's worth now, with all the "redecoration" done by Antifa/BLM?

He is hoping they will. That will leave his old neighbors in peace and hopefully stave off any thoughts about why he won't stand up for them and their city, and who to vote for next time.
"And the last anyone ever saw of him was the surprised look on his face as he disappeared down the crocodile's gullet."

Resources? Funny you should ask!
(from Andy Ngo's twitter) Portland mayor @tedwheeler, who has an Oregon beachfront home, a $1.3m home on the west hills & another property in the San Juan Islands, announces he is looking to move from his NW Portland condo after antifa keep attacking it. #PortlandRiots
[Wash Examiner] California legislators passed a law Monday easing sex offender registry rules for those who commit sodomy or other sex acts with minors in order to end "discrimination against LGBTQ young people on the sex offender registry." Gotta love how they throw that "young" in there, as if old pervs wouldn't benefit from this.
See also the below video from Memology 101.
Of course, my official position on what Memology proposes at 1:39 is disapproval.
[Federalist] Link fixed The last time a Democratic Party candidate lost the Missouri First Congressional District was in 1942. So, while it’s not officially a done deal, it’s quite safe to assume Cori Bush — the Democratic Party’s nominee for MO-1 — will take her seat in the U.S. House of Representatives this coming January. When that occurs, she’ll join a growing chorus of truly radical voices in Congress.
Recently, a stark reminder of Bush’s almost assured election to Congress came in a joint speech during the 2020 RNC made by Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the St. Louis couple who became famous for bearing firearms in defense of their home as Black Lives Matter protestors by on June 28.
"Consider this," implored Mark McCloskey, "[a] Marxist, liberal activist leading the mob to our neighborhood, stood outside our home with a bullhorn screaming, ’You can’t stop the revolution.’" "Just weeks later," he lamented, "that same Marxist activist won the Democratic nomination to hold a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives."
Grasping the politics of the district, McCloskey conceded Bush’s primary victory amounts to winning the election in November months in advance. "That Marxist revolutionary is now going to be the congresswoman from the first district of Missouri."
The political terms "Marxist" and "revolutionary" have become so unfortunately commonplace that it can be tempting, though incorrect, to dismiss their use as overzealous hyperbole or as a cheap way to gin up controversy. Make no mistake, however, not only do both terms fit Bush perfectly, but upon taking her seat, Bush will instantly become one of the most leftward members of the House of Representatives.

Sounds like that district's got the same problem that 4 of the 9 Mass. congressional districts have - no Republican opponent in the general election. Might be interesting (or depressing) to see how many districts in the US are running without an opponent on Nov. 3.

Factoid: On the left of the map is the village of Weldon Springs and Busch Wildlife Center. Excellent rifle-pistol range out there. Many ponds for fishing, just don't eat the fish. Weldon Springs was an old WWII ammo plant. If they've not built a cancer hospital near the Springs, they should.
If you're moving to that area or know if someone who is, Chesterfield is pretty good bet. East of the Mississippi River in Illinois bad bet. A serious no-go zone. Don't even stop for gas.

"East of the Mississippi River in Illinois bad bet. "
Ferguson exclaims that they win the best No-Go trophy. "I'm incensed that Illinois is seen as worse than us..I mean Chicago..yeah sure but around St. Louis..it's us!"

East St Louis is like a third world country. Povrerty, gangs, violence, single political party run by the same families and cronies for years, no law and very little order unless you are part of the ruling elite.

Ref #4: East St. Louis and East to Collinsville, not so good. East St. Louis, Illinois....never been a garden spot. Just worse now in the last few years or so. River Boat gambling not much help.
.@DHS_Wolf's letter to @tedwheeler: "[T]here have been 255 arrests made by local law enforcement and 23 riots and unlawful assemblies declared. Despite this, you have stood by passively, arguing that the nightly violence 'will ultimately burn itself out.'” #PortlandRiotspic.twitter.com/n09QfS32RU

And the local prosecutor's office, led by a Soros puppet, lets these criminal on the street with no bail, so their arrests have no effect at all, they are out there the next day, repeating the same crimes. Portland DA has made the police consider using a turnstile instead of barred doors for their jail.
Portland's mayoral history is disturbing. @tedwheeler may not be the worst. Mayor Sam Adams had a homosexual romantic relationship with an underage boy that was overlooked because he was an out gay man. Mayor Goldschmidt raped his 14-year-old babysitter. https://t.co/SvDknduYVn

Mercutio, Wheeler metaphorically screwed his city. Each of the others literally "screwed" a child. And I agree with AlanC. It's not the same thing. Wheeler is the worst leader the city has ever seen. That doesn't mean he's the worst person to ever be mayor.
#11
I suppose I needed it, even if nobody else did, Mercutio. I know saying "that's not funny" is tasteless and old-fashioned, but... I didn't find anything worth joking over here, even with gallows humor. Everything concerning Portland leaves a bad taste in my mouth. And that meant I didn't see any sarcasm.
[BREITBART] The White House physician issued a statement to news hounds on Tuesday refuting the notion that President Donald Trump ...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party... had a stroke.
The president’s physician Dr. Sean Conley issued a statement to news hounds confirming that Trump had not experienced or been evaluated for a stroke or a mini-stroke or "any acute cardiovascular emergencies."
"The president remains healthy and I have no concerns about his ability to maintain the rigorous schedule ahead of him," Conley wrote. "As stated in my last report, I expect him to remain fit to execute the duties of the presidency."
Trump has faced a number of stories speculating on his physical and mental health throughout his presidency, though the reports lack evidence of any serious health condition.
The latest rumor was sparked by New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... news hound Michael Schmidt who reported in his upcoming book that Vice President Mike Pence was on standby to assume the powers of the presidency during a visit to Walter Reed Hospital in November 2019. Pence did not ultimately assume the powers of the presidency, the book notes.
Earlier on Tuesday, Trump reacted to the latest rumors about his health highlighted in the corporate media, describing them as "fake news."
"It never ends! Now they are trying to say that your favorite President, me, went to Walter Reed Medical Center, having suffered a series of mini-strokes," Trump wrote on Twitter.

Yesterday final daughter told me with a straight face that Evil Trump is even more senile than Less-Evil Biden, who at least doesn’t support Nazis. There is nothing to be said at that point except to remark that I once thought very differently than I do now, so she is equally entitled — and likely — to evolve. She likes me and loves being part of our household, and takes comfort in it being a place where disagreement is safe, so I look forward to watching her suddenly realize, years from now.

/\ Once someone reaches the ripe old age of 7, no use in talking to them about issues like politics or other issues of controversy. If you even suspect them of being a democrat, refuse to make eye contact and move on.

[DAILYWIRE] A criminal complaint was filed against a Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, man earlier this month for sending threatening messages to Elizabeth Nunes, wife of Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA), who is the ranking member on the powerful House Intelligence Committee and one of the driving forces behind exposing the false narrative that President Donald Trump ...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons...... colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election.
A misdemeanor criminal complaint was filed on August 13, 2020, against William Joseph Burden (also known as William Joseph Terrell) after he allegedly sent threats and harassed Elizabeth, identified only as "E.N." in the complaint obtained by The Daily Wire, which can exclusively report that E.N. does, in fact, stand for Elizabeth Nunes. Burden is accused of "unlawfully, and with intent to annoy," calling or electronically contacting Elizabeth with "obscene language," including a "threat to inflict injury" to her or her property and family.

[AMERICANTHINKER] You can imagine the TV spot: "Elect me, or your local Dunkin' Donuts turns into Dante's inferno. I'm Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden ...Candidate for president in 2020. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.... , and I approve this message."
The line falls flat, if only for its blatant mendacity. Democrats are inextricably glued to the infernal columns being waged on unsuspecting downtown concerns. They can try deflecting blame back on the president, but anyone with a semi-working frontal lobe can distinguish that the black-clothed waifs smashing ATMs with baseball bats aren't red meat—masticating Republicans. If they aren't voting for Biden this fall, they're assuredly burning their ballots up on a Green Party enviro-nut or whatever poor, disordered soul the CPUSA is offering up.

I guess the Biden Campaign has started advertising on a game called Animal Crossing.
So now we can tell which players are children, and which ones are adults acting strangely around children.
[ClickonDetroit] A federal appeals court on Tuesday blocked a New York prosecutor from obtaining Donald Trump's tax returns while his lawyers continue to fight a subpoena seeking the records. The three-judge panel ruled after hearing brief arguments from both sides.
Trump's lawyers had asked for a temporary stay while they appeal a lower-court ruling that granted Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr.'s office access to Trump's tax returns. A lawyer for Vance's office had argued that further delays would only impede their investigation.
"The question at this juncture is quite simple but also quite important," Trump lawyer William Consovoy said. "Will the president be given an opportunity to appeal that ruling before his personal records are disclosed to the grand jury and the status quo is irrevocably changed?"
Trump lawyer Jay Sekulow said they were pleased with the ruling. A message seeking comment was left with Vance's spokesperson.
A hearing on the merits of Trump's latest appeal will be held on Sept. 25 after both sides agreed to an expedited schedule.
Trump's lawyers appealed to the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals last month after a district court judge rejected their renewed efforts to invalidate a subpoena issued to his accounting firm. Judge John M. Walker Jr. said at Tuesday's hearing that the subpoenas cover 11 entities engaged in business dealings as far away as Europe and Dubai.
Trump has blasted the long-running quest for his financial records as a "continuation of the most disgusting witch hunt in the history of our country" and predicted the case would again end up before the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court ruled last month that the presidency in itself doesn't shield Trump from Vance's investigation, but the high court returned the case to U.S. District Judge Victor Marrero's courtroom to allow Trump's lawyers to raise other concerns about the subpoena.
Trump's lawyers then argued that the subpoena was issued in bad faith and overly broad, might have been politically motivated and amounted to harassment. Marrero rejected those claims. Consovoy told the judges Tuesday that the investigation was an "arbitrary fishing expedition." It is
Carey Dunne, of the district attorney's office, said Trump and his lawyers have long misrepresented the scope of the investigation as focusing primarily on hush money payments that were paid to protect Trump from adultery allegations. Vance's lawyers have said they are legally entitled to extensive records to aid a "complex financial investigation."
"The president has complained at every turn that we've not announced what the grand jury is looking at as if that itself is bad faith," Dunne said. "But of course, what the grand jury is looking at is secret. We're not allowed to make that public, which is what has led to his speculation about the grand jury scope. But none of this speculation is plausible."
Even if Vance does get Trump's tax records, those would be part of a confidential grand jury investigation and not automatically be made public. Til they're leaked
Vance, a Democrat, began seeking the Republican president's tax returns from his longtime accounting firm over a year ago, after Trump's former personal lawyer Michael Cohen told Congress that the president had misled tax officials, insurers and business associates about the value of his assets.
Congress is also pursuing Trump's financial records, though the Supreme Court last month kept a hold on the banking and other documents that Congress has been seeking and returned the case to a lower court.

"“I take responsibility for trusting the word of a neighborhood salon. They said we’re able to accommodate one person at a time. I trusted that. As it turns out it was a setup. So, I take responsibility for falling for a setup. That’s all I’m going to say on that,” said Pelosi."

[NYPOST] One local industry is booming: moving companies, because so many New Yorkers are fleeing the city for the ’burbs in the wake of the pandemic, the spike in violent mostly peaceful crime and the general rise in disorder. And Mayor Comrade Bill de Blasio ...cryptocommie mayor of New York and for some reason a Dem candidate for president in 2020. Corrupt and incompetent, his qualifications for office seem to consist of being married to a black woman, with whom he honeymooned in Cuba. He has a preppy-looking son named Dante, whose Divine Comedy involved getting his back hair up when a police car drove past him slowly. New Yorkers voted for him, so they deserve him... ’s answer is to cheer.Perry Chance of Show Up movers told The Post his "volume has increased by at least 70 percent" in the past few months. "[People] say the rich are leaving New York. Well, they are!"
July saw a 44 percent rise in home sales in area suburbs — with an astounding 112 percent hike in Westchester County — over the same month last year, reports Miller Samuel Real Estate Appraisers & Consultants. Manhattan property sales sank 56 percent.

New Jersey and Connecticut ’burbs are seeing the same. Heck, brokers all the way out in North Fork say business is booming — because more and more workers figure a long commute is no longer an issue, as they’ll work from home most of the time.
The exodus will tank city revenues, but de Blasio’s stuck on his old, old tune: "Help me tax the wealthy. Help me redistribute wealth," he told WNYC’s Brian Lehrer last week.
So much for his promises to be the mayor for all New Yorkers: He’d rather drive the city down than face reality.
